‘Murder by the Book’

Fields to urge lawmakers not to cut health care technology funds BY JOE TASH When Willa Fields testifies before Congress in a few weeks, she’ll have a simple message regarding federal funding to help doctors’ offices, clinics and hospitals convert to electronic medical records: “Don’t cut Willa Fields the money because we’re making progress, guys.” Fields, 65, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, is a professor of nursing at San Diego State University and board chair of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), a national nonprofit group that supports improving health care through information technology and management systems. She was chosen though a competitive interview process to serve on a panel of experts that will testify on the effectiveness of federal support for health information technology, specifically a $19 billion appropriation passed by Congress in 2009.

Inn renovations begin with blending of new, traditional BY KAREN BILLING Blending tradition with upscale upgrades is a challenge the new ownership and management team at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe is taking head on. The beginning of September marked the start of renovations for the historic hotel, which was purchased by JMI Realty in April. The new ownership group, including local residents John Kratzer and John Moores, is passionate about preserving The Inn as a true community asset and they look to create a hub of activity for residents, enhance traditions and bring a whole new set of visitors in to experience Rancho Santa Fe. “This is a wonderful opportunity for both the new ownership group and the community,” said General Manager Gordon MacMitchell. “The ownership is injecting $12 million to bring luster back to the property, not taking away any of the historical integrity but adding so much more to it.”

MacMitchell said the property has such “great bones” that the real focus is on taking time to improve the interiors of the guest rooms — the front bungalows will carry a “starlit nostalgia” while the rest of the resort will have a perfect “country elegance.” “Every single aspect of the property is being touched,” said Pamela Devaney of The Inn’s public relations team Resonate PR. Construction work has already quietly begun at The Inn inside the Honeysuckle and Azalea suites and model rooms should be completed in about eight weeks. The renovation will also come with a spa, a resource that The Inn has never had before, with five to six treatment rooms. Devaney said that the spa will offer unique treatments and they have their eye on a spa director who will be a perfect fit for the community. The pool area will be refreshed See INN, page 18

1.) Why are you running for a seat on the RSF School board? I have three main reasons for running for a seat on the RSF School Board. First, as a parent and as a property owner in Rancho Santa Fe, I am proud of our highly rated school, as are most of us in this special community, and I would like to bring the benefit of my long experience with the school and my passion for educational excellence to the board. I want ours to become the #1 school in San Diego County. Second, as a taxpayer, I want to help ensure that we spend our considerable community investments wisely – that we are getting the best possible education for the See KENT, page 26

1.) Why are you running for a seat on the RSF School board? First and foremost as a parent of four young children, I see first hand the value of the administrators, teachers, and volunteers that make our school special. The fact that our kids have student to faculty ratios of 18:1, a world-class facility and, most importantly, access to extraordinary resources is an inspiring reminder of how fortunate we are to live in this community. Education is at the forefront of some meaningful challenges. Whether it is less state and federal funding for our schools or whether it is incorporating digital media tools like iPads, it is clear that education as we know it is facing historic challenges in the coming years. Having worked in the financial services sector and having seen many complex problems, I believe my experience gives me the tools to assess these new challenges as they evolve over the coming years. Finally, as someone passionate about improving education, I’m excited about the opportunity to serve this comSee BUCHNER, page 22

1. Why are you running for a seat on the RSF School Board? Serving the voters of the Rancho Santa Fe School District has been both rewarding and inspiring. I am running for a third term on the school board to offer the community continuance in the actions and policies of the RSF School board. I have enjoyed seeing the accomplishments of our students in new programs such as Columbia reading and writing, robotics and, most recently, await the technology upgrade from the newly approved I-Pad program. As we have recently graduated three children from the school and have a remaining 7th grader, I remain dedicated to children in education. See BURDGE, page 24

UCSD’s new chancellor takes reins, envisions more diverse campus BY PAT SHERMAN After more than a month on the job, UC San Diego’s new chancellor, Pradeep Khosla, is still learning his way around the campus and community, chatting up students and faculty at every turn. As dean of Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering, Khosla was in charge of about 3,200 students. At UC San Diego, he will oversee 30,000 students, a tenfold transition in scale. “I had more access to these students (at Carnegie Mellon) than I will have with 30,000 students,” confided Khosla, 55, who replaces outgoing chancellor Marye Anne Fox, who held the position for eight years. “I want to make sure that as chancellor I’m not this ‘Wizard of Oz’ sitting in some office that they don’t know,” he said. “I want them to connect with me as a professor, teacher and a person — and as a chancellor. … You do that by walking around, meeting students randomly and in an organized manner, and just being part of the community.” Khosla’s forays into the

community recently took him to a Ralphs supermarket, where two students stopped to introduce themselves. “I’m thinking, do I have anything weird in my shopping cart here?” said the affable administrator, noting that his purchases included mainly cheese, wine and crackers. “My favorite (wine) is pinot noir,” he chimed. “It’s middle- of-the-line, and

goes with just about every type of food.” Khosla will likely relish the occasional glass of wine to unwind from the pressure of managing the university’s ongoing budgetary and administrative demands, while implementing his own vision and strategy. “I have an excellent team,” Khosla said of his vice-chancellors. “We have divvied up the responsibili-

ties of running this place. They are my eyes and ears on the ground, and they are responsible for executing a lot of these things.” At Carnegie Mellon, Khosla was known for his emphasis on diversity, a focus he said he hopes to maintain at UC San Diego. “Our goal should be to talk with the broader community and make sure that students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds understand and realize that going to a university is not necessarily a rich person’s dream,” he said. “Everybody should have that dream and the UC system has a lot of opportunities for people to attend one of the UC campuses without paying any tuition. “When there are people from underserved communities who are deemed qualified but don’t have the resources, we need to find a way to support them,” he said. While there are many opportunities for students from low-income families to receive scholarships and financial assistance through the UC system, state and federal government, Khosla said middle-class students

insensitive “Compton Cookout” party in 2010, or a noose that was subsequently left in the library? Khosla said such situations must be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The India native said he believes his status as an immigrant will help him build a climate in which such situations are less likely to occur. “Our response should be more like putting a culture and a climate in place that does not let these situations happen,” he said. “Just being diverse does not mean people are accepting and inclusive.” Former Chancellor Fox leaves the campus noted for her billion-dollar building campaign and fundraising prowess. Asked what Khosla hopes his legacy will be as chancellor, he said he hopes the university will be in a stronger position than it is today. “That’s a tall order,” he said. “This is one of the top 10 universities in the country, but I think there is a lot of opportunity.” With a decrease in funding from the state of California — which currently only provides about 6.6 See CHANCELLOR, page 22

Sophomores prepare for NCL fashion show ‘Moda Bella’ High school sophomores from six local high schools are preparing for their National Charity League fashion show, “Moda Bella,” to be held Oct. 7 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla Aventine. In addition to rehearsing on the catwalk and being fitted for the latest fashions from Nicole Miller, The Back Room, Tobi Blatt, Pink Lagoon and other area boutiques, these girls recently posed for a photo shoot. The mission of the National Charity League is to foster the mother-daughter relationship in a philanthropic organization committed to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences. The purpose of the annual fashion show is to provide the 10th grade girls with training in the areas of poise, stage presence, self esteem and personal style.

Village Church Community Theater to hold auditions Auditions for “A Beautiful Star: An Appalachian Nativity” will be held on Monday, Oct. 8, and Tuesday, Oct. 9, from 6-8 p.m. at the Village Church Community Theater, 6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe. “Star” is a retelling of the Christmas story in bluegrass style. Principal acting/singing roles for five men, five women, one boy and ensemble extras. Performances are Dec. 7, 8, 9. For audition information and appointment: villagechurchcommunitytheater.org.

Private screening of docu-series ‘Get to Work’ to be held at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe This October, members of the Rancho Santa Fe community are invited to a private screening of the premiere episode of “Get to Work,” a groundbreaking Sundance Channel original documentary-series featuring Second Chance, a San Diego-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering people to change their lives through job readiness training programs and comprehensive wrap-around services. The viewing event, set to begin at 7 p.m. on Oct. 18, invites Rancho Santa Fe residents to an unfiltered, uncompromising look at San Diego’s own tough love job training program for the chronically unemployed. A special welcome will be delivered by San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, in addition to guest appearances by the heroes of “Get to Work.” “Get to Work” takes viewers behind the walls of Second Chance to witness the struggles of those who have no job, no direction, and seemingly no chance. It’s a high-stakes, make-orbreak program and, for most of the students, this is their last crack at a real future. But it doesn’t come easy: as they push the students to learn workplace skills that will land them a job, Second Chance instructors contend with those who have never learned anything other than bad attitudes and poor behavior. Not everyone makes it to graduation. Second Chance is a 2011 grant recipient of the Armed Forces Interest Group and the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe is located at 5951 Linea Del Cielo. RSVP is required to attend the event. Beverages will be served, along with a cash bar, and donations will be accepted. “Get to Work” airs every Monday at 10 p.m. PT (7 p.m. PT for DirectTV customers) on the Sundance Channel. For more information about Second Chance and opportunities to donate or volunteer, visit http://www.secondchanceprogram.org. To RSVP to this event, call (619) 839 – 0953.

Members of the committee really liked the concept of the old “Giving Tree” so the concept and name were retained for the new display. “We wanted something artistic but in-keeping with the style of the new campus. We choose an organic design that works well with the schools architecture, as opposed to a more linear contemporary design” said Leslie DeGoler.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

DOCUMENTARY continued from page 1 ing it in the name of global fairness,” said D’Souza. D’Souza’s film has received wide-ranging reviews. Dave Berg of the Washington Times wrote: “Republicans often bemoan the fact that they don’t have Hollywood celebrities on their side, but they’ve been handed a gift. Mr. D’Souza is a legitimate rising star who doesn’t look the part. He’s perfect for anti-Hollywood conservatives. He’s able to explain clearly, in a way that hits home, why this election is really about two different worldviews.” But the film has also drawn condemnation from Obama’s campaign and media critics, who question its factuality and fairness. “The facts show that

‘2016: Obama’s America’ is nothing more than an insidious attempt to dishonestly smear the President by giving intellectual cover to the worst in subterranean conspiracy theories and false, partisan attacks,” said a response posted on the Obama campaign’s website. The Los Angeles Times called the film “a badly disguised and overly long attack ad,” while Variety called it “a cavalcade of conspiracy theories, psycho-political conjectures and incendiary labeling.” The film followed on the heels of a 2010 cover story in Forbes Magazine, which aired similar themes and arguments. Of that piece, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review wrote, “This is the worst kind of smear journalism—a singularly disgusting work.” D’Souza dismissed the

critiques and insisted that his goal was to take advantage of interest in the upcoming presidential election to inform the public. The film’s tagline is, “Love Him, Hate Him, You Don’t Know Him.” “I don’t think there’s a single fact in the film… that has been questioned in a way that has any validity,” said D’Souza. The piece in CJR regarding his Forbes article was “a shabby piece of analysis,” he said. The film includes interviews with a friend of Obama’s father, his half brother, a psychologist and others. D’Souza narrates the film, which was shot at locations including Kenya, Indonesia (where Obama lived as a child) and Hawaii, where the President was born and attended school. Audio clips of Obama reading from his book are also used, as is a

dramatized scene of Obama at his father’s grave in Kenya. In the film, D’Souza notes a number of similarities between Obama and himself — for example, both were born in 1961 and both educated at Ivy League schools. But D’Souza theorizes that Obama is filled with rage transmitted by his father, whom he had almost no contact with, over the British colonization of Kenya. D’Souza said he harbors no similar rage against the British for their subjugation of his native India — D’Souza was born in Mumbai, and emigrated to the United States at age 17, where he attended his last year of high school and then went to Dartmouth College. “(Colonization) was bad for people who lived under

it but has proven to be good to their descendents,” D’Souza said, contending he is “unquestionably” better off for the British presence in India because he speaks English, went to a Westernized school, and was exposed to the rule of law and Christianity. “Colonization was the transmission belt for Western values.” After college, D’Souza worked for the Reagan Administration as a policy analyst, and has since written 12 books, including a biography of Ronald Reagan. He has also spoken widely on his conservative views, and in 2010 was named president of The King’s College, a Christian institution in New York City. He now splits his time between New York and Fairbanks Ranch, where he is involved with his daughter’s

September 20, 2012

education at The Bishop’s School and attends Horizon North County church. Thrilled by the success of “2016: Obama’s America,” his first film, D’Souza said he is thinking about making a film about the search for God and the influence of Christianity in the world. “I see the power of film as a genre, it appeals both on an intellectual and emotional level,” he said.

RSF’s Mary Murray receives Wells Fargo Volunteer Service Award •$10,000 donation made to Angel Faces, which serves adolescent girls who have been burned BY KAREN BILLING Mary Murray, a Rancho Santa Fe Wells Fargo wealth advisor, recently received one of the company’s Annual Volunteer Service Awards for her “outstanding volunteer spirit.” Along with recognition for her service, Wells Fargo also made a $10,000 contribution in Murray’s honor to Angel Faces, which serves adolescent girls who have been burned and helps them overcome their physical scars as well as the scars within. Murray has been a volunteer for Angel Faces for the past six years and now serves on the board of directors. “(The award) meant a lot to me but it meant much more to me to be able to help Angel Faces,” Murray said. “Angel Faces is such a small non-profit that $10,000 is a lot of money and can serve a lot of girls. Really, with this economy, it’s so difficult to raise money…That’s always our struggle, that if we want to serve more girls, we need more money.” Murray has worked for Wells Fargo for 27 years and came to Rancho Santa Fe 16 years ago to open the private bank office on Paseo Delicias. She makes it a priority to support her clients’ non-profits and is very involved with the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club, one of her big passions in life along with Angel Faces. Murray’s involvement with Angel Faces resulted from an introduction by one of her clients to Angel Faces founder Lesia Cartelli, an Encinitas resident. When Cartelli was 9 she endured a serious burn injury over 50 percent of her face and body in a natural gas explosion. She worked at the Burn Institute; UC San Diego’s Regional Burn Center; and was the executive director of the Orange County Burn Association before founding Angel Faces in 2003. “It was an instant connection and I felt like I had known her forever,” Murray said. With Angel Faces, Cartelli wanted to focus on adolescent girls with burn/trauma injuries, to do more to help them learn to handle life’s challenges, set goals and set boundaries which are vulnerable areas to a teenage girl with disfigurement just trying to “fit in.” To help the girls, Angel Faces hosts a yearly week-long retreat in June. The girls take yoga classes, work with a therapist from Children’s Hospital, and volunteer aestheticians come and treat the girls to facials and massages. A makeup

Wells Fargo’s Mary Murray received the Volunteer Service Award and a $10,000 contribution in her name to Angel Faces. Photo/Karen Billing artist, who specializes in corrective cosmetics, teaches the girls how to put on their makeup, much of which is donated by cosmetic companies. “I see growth in that one week they’re there,” Murray said, noting that in some girls who are in their third year at the retreat, their growth is “unbelievable.” Angel Faces pays for the retreat and the travel expenses and girls have come from Mexico, Canada and England. Murray’s role at the retreat has become one of a “mother” — photos on her Wells Fargo desk show Murray with many of her Angels, swimming in the pool or posing with smiles filling the frames. “Mary is consistent in bringing her business development expertise, her passion and humor to not only Angel Faces but for all the girls we have served over the years,”

said Cartelli. “She is truly an angel herself, touching the lives of many, and we are so grateful to have a volunteer like Mary.” Murray said the girls deal with a lot of self-esteem issues as they cope with people staring or with even wanting to be out in public, some girls opt to hide in their home or car rather than face the world. “We try to instill in them that they have the power within themselves to look someone in the eyes, approach them and even talk about their physical appearance,” Murray said. She said they’ve had so many success stories, like a girl with severely burned arms gaining the confidence to wear a halter dress to a dance. “Lesia always teaches them to do one or two new things a month, really put themselves out there, try new things and not get stuck and realize they have a future,” Murray said. “She teaches them not to identify themselves as a victim or a burned girl. Yes, they have been burned but that’s not who they are. Just because they are burned doesn’t mean they can’t achieve everything they want to achieve.” Angel Faces’ goals for the future include expanding on its follow-up program with the girls, possibly creating college scholarships and growing the non-profit internationally. Additionally, they are also looking into starting a program for boys. Along with Murray, the Wells Fargo Volunteer Service Award program has been more successful than ever. A total of 236 team members were awarded a total of nearly $545,000 to their organizations. In 2011, San Diego County team members reported 17,000 volunteer hours and Wells Fargo donated $2.5 million to 280 non-profits and schools in San Diego. “I truly believe that giving back brings so much more back to you,” Murray said. “It’s always been one of my passions.” An Angel Faces fundraising event, “An Evening with Angels,” will be held on Oct. 6 at a private Encinitas home. At the event, attendees will be able to dine with the Angels and hear their extraordinary stories. To learn more, visit angelfacesretreat.org or call (760) 487-1720.

RSF School Book Fair coming Oct. 8-12 •Community ‘explorers’ wanted to share their experiences with students The Rancho Santa Fe School Book Fair is being held at the R. Roger Rowe School from Oct. 8-12, 7:30 a.m.4:30 p.m., Room 204 (two doors down from library). The entire community is invited to participate in this weeklong celebration of literacy. This year’s theme is “The All-Star Book Fair,” where “Every Reader is a Star!” The R. Roger Rowe space explorers are making discoveries every day through books. The exciting books included in this book fair challenge children to think beyond their world and develop their imagination. Perpetuating the goal of learning to love reading through this weeklong celebration helps lay the foundation for tomorrows explorers — today’s students! “This year’s goal is to put books in the hands of every student and surpass all previous book fair attendance and sales,” said Ross Hansen, the school’s librarian. The school also has the opportunity to earn new books for the library and classrooms based on sales generated. The Book Fair is a great way to connect kids with books they want to read, instill a love of reading, and promote literacy. Parents and children will find a diverse selection of books to fill their home library, featuring award-winning books and titles from

leading authors —all at fantastic prices. There will be hundreds of books from a variety of publishers who specialize in children’s literature, including Scholastic itself. Students will visit the Book Fair with their classes during the week and can make a wish list of books they would like to buy. Teachers also make wish lists for their classrooms. Parents can place their child’s name on a dedication sticker inside books they donate to their child’s classroom. Community members and parent volunteers are essential each year to making the Book Fair a success! The RSF Education Foundation is looking for explorers throughout the community who are willing to share their experiences with the children. If they can spend one to two hours at the book fair, the Foundation will announce their scheduled appearance to the learning community. Volunteers are also needed throughout each sale day to help staff the registers. Community volunteers can contact Ross Hansen at 756-1141, ext 201. Parents can sign up through the parent volunteer link on the school’s website at www.rsfschool.net. Don’t miss out; come discover how reading can be out of this world and attend the Book Fair at Rancho Santa Fe School Library, Oct. 8-12. More details on this event will be posted on the school’s website, www. rsfschool.net, or through the school’s librarian, Ross Hansen. He can be reached at rhansen@rsf.k12.ca.us.

SLOSAR Continued from page 3 gist, mostly spent dealing with troubled youths, will help me be a strong contributing member to the board. I understand children’s overall development which will aid in board decisions related to: curriculum, positive motivation and behavioral programs, extracurricular programs. Lastly, a history of volunteerism in support of children. I spent a year as a volunteer teacher of elementary students in Guatemala which taught me about the challenges that teachers face. Currently, I serve as the Youth Services Chair for the RSF Library Guild. Additionally, for the past 18 months I have spearheaded the community effort to successfully obtain Association board approval of a playground within the Covenant. This focus on children and persistence in successfully achieving objectives for the community should aid the board in nearly any initiative it undertakes. These three aspects — my experience in labor relations management, my training and experiences as a clinical psychologist and working as a volunteer for

Rancho Santa Fe Review kids in many capacities — help make me a good school board choice. 3. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF School District? First, we need more “bang for our buck.” We have a fine school with great staff and teachers. Our parents are involved and generous. With donations and a substantial tax base we have the highest per student spending in the county (60 percent higher than the county average) and are in the top 10 statewide. However, our Elementary API scores are not top 10, in either the state or the county. Over the past decade our spending has ballooned while our rankings have declined. In the Del Mar Union School District, with spending close to the county average, five of their eight schools have been top 10 for most of the past decade. One of their schools, Sage Canyon, consistently ranks first. And while not the sole mark of a quality education, school rankings matter — when rankings improve, the demand to live here is higher. Property values increase. The second problem is middle school student reten-

tion. Many families view private middle schools as a more attractive alternative. We need to understand and address their concerns. Solving this allows us to offer a truly “private education at a public school” that is so often touted. It helps parents, the school and the community. It’s a win-win-win. Lastly, our elementary curriculum lacks foreign language. Extracurricular activities are an important part of a well-rounded education and foreign language should be one of them. If you believe the world is becoming “flat,” as Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas Friedman states, the global economic playing field is being leveled and being able to communicate is paramount to our children’s success as individuals and as a nation. 4. Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #3 should be addressed by the board? The issue of our declining state and county rankings is the biggest issue facing the school. A lower ranking not only affects the school, but the students and the community as well. We spend in the top 10 so why

don’t we have a ranking in the top 10? Yes, API scores are only one metric, but our children will be taking tests throughout their academic lives, so until there is a better standard measure of retained knowledge, everyone will continue to use these scores as a benchmark. It is the best we have right now and it is imperative that we maximize these scores. My plan to improve our scores is simple – five steps: First, examine what those consistently higher-ranked schools are doing that we’re not. Second, this same examination should demonstrate what we are failing to do well enough. We may be doing many of the right things, but with the wrong emphasis or priority. Third, develop both a short- and long-term plan that addresses these gaps. Fourth, take action. This may mean moving more resources back to the basics such as reading, math and science. We may need to look at incentives for teachers based on student scores, much like they are doing at the federal and many state levels. Lastly, measure our progress and tweak until we are where we should be – first in the county, top 10 statewide. We need to jump-start

the dialogue because it’s important. It’s important now. 5. What do you think of the use of capital appreciation bonds by school districts? Capital appreciation bonds are a type of controversial loan in which the borrower has quick access to cash but doesn’t make payments for many years. Typical CABs end up costing two-three times the amount of the original note. Given the cost and the desire to not saddle future generations, some state have outlawed them. Poway issued a capital appreciation bond in 2011 for $105 million that will end up costing the district $987 million when it is finally repaid in 2051. Rancho Santa Fe School District has three capital appreciation bonds issued since 2000 (Emma.msrb.org) totaling just under $39 million. Board members must be fiscally responsible when issuing bonds and exercise extreme caution. Poway’s superintendent is currently having the bond deal investigated to see if the district acted responsibly, was given bad advice, and if those involved acted with integrity. Capital appreciation bonds are a double-edged sword and we need to be

prudent to ensure the success of our kids today, but not at the expense of students or families in the future. 6. Any other comments about your candidacy or the district you would like to make at this time? Nope. Other than I hope that I’ve been short, sweet, and to the point...and as my oldest daughter chanted in her run for student council, “Yes Sir. No Sir. Vote for Slosar.” If readers have questions, they may contact me at drslosar@yahoo.com

RSF Garden Club members had the opportunity to meet rare birds at the Sept. 12 “Coffee in the Garden” event held at the home of Shelley and Peter Linde.

RSF Garden Club’s Coffee in the Garden On Sept. 12, RSF Garden Club member Shelley Linde hosted a “Coffee in the Garden” for club members to enjoy her garden and experience her 2,000-square-foot aviary and her “family” of rare birds. Linde and her husband, Peter, shared their incredible garden, which is a mix of lush tropicals and elegant succulents. But the real stars of the day were the dramatically plumed exotic birds that fill the Lindes’ aviary. The Lindes have created a tropical paradise for their birds: a Green Wing Macaw named Cookie; a Hyacinth Macaw named Oliver; a Mini Macaw named Bugsy Malone; and an African Grey Parrot named Popeye. “These wonderful birds can lived 60 - 80 years,” Shelley Linde said. “They were all bred in captivity, but many species of exotic parrots are now endangered in the wild. So those that are being bred in captivity are preserving the species.” “All of the birds speak,” Linde told the group,”but Popeye is the best conversationalist. He has a vocabulary of about 2,000 words. The birds have the intelligence of a small child. They don’t just mimic, they associate language with objects and simple ideas. Just like children do as they learn to speak.” In addition to the tropical garden, Linde and her husband have developed a hedge maze in their back yard. “We started this for our little granddaughter. It is a wonderful utilization of the sloping terrain and it’s great fun for her. Because it is a blooming hedge, it creates the prefect little girl’s back yard adventure.” The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club hosts monthly Coffee In the Garden events. It is an opportunity for members to share their gardens with like-minded garden enthusiasts, to exchange ideas and to meet other members. These events are generally for members only, but occasionally they are open to guests also. Check the Garden Club website at www.rsfgardenclub.org for upcoming events.

Art of Fashion Sponsor Party at Mille Fleurs

Sponsor Party was held Sept. 13 at Mille Fleurs to thank generous supporters of the The Art of Fashion benefit. The Country Friends’ and South Coast Plaza’s 57th annual Art of Fashion Runway Show took place Sept. 20 at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe (after presstime for this newspaper). Proceeds from The Art of Fashion event benefit more than 20 designated charities throughout San Diego County. This year’s Art of Fashion event paid tribute to Connie McNally and Jean S. Newman, two dedicated members of The Country Friends. McNally has headed up volunteer efforts, served on the board of The Country Friends, and is a past Art of Fashion event chair. Newman is a past president of The Country Friends and longtime manager at the organization’s Consignment Shop in Rancho Santa Fe.

INN continued from page 1 and the front entrance made more of an arrival experience. There will be valet parking and the Art Jury has recommended and approved the removal of two trees near the front of the lawn to recreate that historic view from the front of The Inn through Paseo Delicias. “What started as this 1924 12-room guesthouse to where it’s going to be in 12 months is very exciting,” Devaney said. Most of the major construction work, such as on the lawn, entrance and spa, will likely take place in January or early February, but management doesn’t see it as being an inconvenience or disruption to the guests. The Inn’s layout of separate buildings means that they won’t have to close for multiple months for its renovation and they hope to have all renovations complete by June 2013. Where people will notice the most change the quickest is likely at the restaurant. The front terrace, dotted with outdoor tables for some very scenic dining, will be completely refreshed and the current garden room will become a part of the new restaurant, enhancing the indoor/outdoor feel. Where the restaurant is located now will be transformed into private dining and a small meeting space. The footprint of the bar will remain the same, but it will be opened up to more of a living room environment, visible when you walk through the front lobby rather than tucked into a corner.

CONGRESS

continued from page 1 ducted by the House Science, Space and Technology Committee’s Technology and Innovation Subcommittee. The funding approved by Congress is being used to reimburse doctors, hospitals and clinics for costs involved with converting their patient records to digital form. Among the key questions the subcommittee is asking, said Fields, is whether the government is doing the right thing, and if its efforts are helping. “My answer is, unequivocally, yes,” said Fields. “We’re well on the road so don’t stop the funding.” Fields was originally scheduled to testify before the subcommittee on Thursday, Sept. 13. However, the

Rancho Santa Fe Review The Inn has scored the “talented, young, hip, cool” new executive chef Todd Allison, most recently of Anthology downtown whose resume also includes The Phoenician Resort and Spa, St. Regis Monarch Beach, Bollinger’s in Laguna Beach and Checkers in Los Angeles. “We’re really lucky to have Todd here,” MacMitchell said. Allison specializes in sustainable, locally raised and organic products. “I’m really excited because they’re building me a garden,” Allison said. “A lot of places say they are ‘farm to table’ and we are really striving for that here.” Allison will infuse his own tastes into the menu but will be mindful that regulars don’t want to see a complete departure from their favorites. As an example, the Royce Salad, named for one The Inn’s original owners, will remain on the menu. It’s possibly the Ranch’s most famous salad (lettuce, avocado, bacon, Parmesan and Ranch dressing with the choice of chicken, shrimp or salmon) and Allison said it’s part of the tradition of The Inn and he will just put a little twist on it. The restaurant will host Monday through Thursday evening specials starting on Oct. 1. Mondays will be an opportunity for patrons to bring their own bottle of wine with a waived corkage fee; Thursdays will be chef’s tasting nights; and Wednesdays will be family-style dining. “We want to reintroduce The Inn of Rancho Santa Fe to people who moved here with young children and maybe didn’t

have a reason to come here,” Devaney said of the family night concept. “We want to change that.” Allison was rushing off to design meetings last week as the interior concepts, name and menu are all still in progress. “It’s always exciting to be a part of a new restaurant and a new concept,” Allison said. “It will be a brand new restaurant in four to five months.” Landscape plans are also in the works for The Inn’s historic lawn — the lawn will be restored to its original look of pristine, green grass. Rob Stirling, director of sales and marketing and most recently from the Grand Del Mar, thinks the lawn will be the perfect spot for croquet and champagne events. The east side of the lawn facing the village has a slope to it currently and Devaney said the hope is to smooth out the grade so it will be more amenable for outside events. “One of the things that is most important to the management and ownership team is to be a great community partner, ” Stirling said. “Obviously there’s going to be some changes with repositioning and renovation, but the idea is to really embrace the history and culture of what The Inn represents to the community of Rancho Santa Fe.” Some elements already added like a fire pit on the front terrace and Adirondack chairs beneath the trees on the lawn are already being heavily used. Devaney said people enjoy having those little pockets for spending quiet reflection time, reading, visiting or sipping a glass of wine and

hearing was postponed due to a conflict with a memorial service for the late astronaut Neil Armstrong. The hearing will be reset for late September or early October, said Dave Roberts, a Solana Beach City Councilman who serves on the staff of HIMSS as vice president of government relations. “It’s just great having a San Diego County leader be recognized and able to do this,” said Roberts, a District Three candidate for County Supervisor, of Fields’ impending testimony. HIMSS believes that one way to improve the quality of health care in the United States is to move toward electronic medical records, said Roberts. “If you don’t have the right information at the right location, it’s not possible to do that,” he said. “This is one thing where there seems to be

agreement on Capitol Hill,” Roberts said. “This is an area where we should have a focus.” Fields is a “nurse-informaticist,” meaning she is an expert on the use of information technology to improve patient care. She recently concluded a research project at Sharp Grossmont Hospital, in which she and her team studied the impact of merging multiple computer systems into a single network, specifically regarding the work of nurses at the hospital. The study found that nurses had better information at their fingertips, and thus could make better health care decisions, under the new system, Fields said. Other studies have found that patient outcomes improve once electronic medical record systems are established, she said. The downside is that

An upgrade project has begun at The Inn at RSF that will enhance the iconic RSF asset. they hope to create more spaces like that around the property. Also in the works is an outdoor equestrian ride-up. As The Inn bellies right up to the Rancho Santa Fe trail system, people will be able to call or text The Inn from horseback and have a picnic brought to them to enjoy in the grove. Devaney also sees the new grove as a perfect locale for private functions like wedding rehearsal dinners. Stirling hopes to increase the exposure of Rancho Santa Fe, bring in corporate retreats and board meetings, encourage guests to dine at village restaurants and develop a new partnership with the Rancho Santa Fe Golf and Tennis Clubs for guest access. “The recreation component is really important to us,” Stirling said of the assets of the golf course and tennis courts nearby as well as the “phenomenal” trail system. They hope to have sunrise yoga on the lawn and maybe bring in a croquet pro for lessons or games. “We want to do fun users such as doctors and nurses are not satisfied with the usability of electronic medical records systems, and would like them to be more user-friendly. “It’s not all wonderful,” she said. However, she said the government’s support of converting medical offices and hospitals to electronic records has lifted a major barrier — cost — to the implementation of such systems. As more money is invested in health information technology by the private sector, usability of the systems will improve, she said. With electronic medical records, she said, care can be coordinated more efficiently between different areas of a hospital, such as doctors, nurses and the pharmacy, eliminating errors and increasing safety. Information is also available quicker, which could make a difference in an urgent medical

New executive chef Todd Allison things like that,” Stirling said. “We want The Inn to have some energy and some vibe, but also be respectful of its history. We hope to achieve that balance.” As the nearby Rancho Valencia Resort is ready to unveil its new renovated grounds, the team at The Inn sees it as a positive. “To have another great hotel in the area, we’re thrilled because it helps the destination,” Stirling said. “We hope that they hit it out of the ballpark. The more they benefit the more the community benefits.” For more information on The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, visit www.theinnatrsf.com. situation. In the wake of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, Americans continue to debate the best way to improve health care. The issue was raised repeatedly during the Republican presidential primaries, and continues to come up in the presidential campaign between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Despite its high spending on health care, the United States lags in patient outcomes. A study by the World Health Organization found the United States ranked 37th among nations in the performance of its health care system. And the most recent statistics show the U.S. has a higher infant mortality rate than many European and Asian countries. Fields said the large number of people without health insurance in the

Coleman University is sponsoring a Community Electronic Recycling and Document Shredding Event where all fundraising efforts will be benefitting the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. The event will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Main Parking Lot, 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd. in Del Mar. Participants are encouraged to bring confidential documents for shredding on-site while you watch. Computer hard drives are also removed, punched and destroyed on-site. The event is free and electronics for recycling can include such items as CRT screens, LCD/LED screens plasma screens, TV’s, printers, copiers, fax machines, scanners, computers, laptops, monitors, cell phones, VCR’s, DVD players, stereo systems, network servers, speakers, telephones, lamps, servers, server racks, plotters, batteries (automotive), power cords, cables, and strips.

For example, she said less than 3 percent of the population of England is without health insurance, while the percentage is between 10 and 15 percent in the U.S. “I think it’s unconscionable the United States doesn’t provide better health care for its residents,” she said. Along with expanding access to health care, she said, conversion to electronic health records can improve quality and safety and lower costs. And that’s a message she’ll be happy to share with members of Congress. “I’m flattered and honored and humbled to be able to represent HIMSS to this committee,” she said.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

SELTZER Continued from page 3 B) Continuity of leadership has been a key part of our school’s long-standing success. C) My perspective as a former RSF student (K-8), current board member, and school parent provides me unique insight on how we can achieve an exceptional educational experience for our students, parents, teachers, and community. D) As a 19-year resident of Rancho Santa Fe, I have a heightened sense of what this school means to our community, and what this community means to our school. As long as I am on the board, every decision I make will be made with a profound sense of obligation to our students, parents and neighbors. 2. What experience/ qualifications would you bring to the board that you think would be beneficial? Having a young family, with two children currently at R. Roger Rowe and one more to enter in a few years, gives me the desire to make certain our school remains one of the top schools in the country. Additionally, at various times during my business career, I have had direct responsibility for or provided executive input on: corporate development, strategic planning, human resource management, purchasing operations, annual sales and marketing plans, finance, and facility acquisition and expansion. Most of my background comes from privately held, family owned and operated businesses, where every dollar in and every dollar out counts, the focus on fiscal discipline and accountability is at a premium, and building an organization of loyal, committed, and respected people is essential. I believe this combined experience of fiscal discipline and people development translates perfectly to the stewardship of our school district. 3) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF School District? A) With the State of California’s budgetary mess

resulting in extreme uncertainty for public schools, the biggest ongoing challenge for the district is to continue to be able to provide and maximize, in a fiscally responsible way, all of the exceptional items that make our school stand-out: small class sizes, high test scores, inspirational and differentiated instruction, teaching specialists, robotics, Columbia reading and writing, character development, athletic excellence, upgraded technology and iPad deployment, efficient and effective use of new school and field facilities, and expanded art, music, drama, and language programs. B) The possibility of the state imposing unfunded mandated programs on all districts is a consistent concern. C) Basic Aid school districts such as ours could be at risk of losing the ability to keep property taxes at the local level. 4. Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #3 should be addressed by the board? A) We must responsibly access public resources while simultaneously working more creatively to tap additional private support both from and within the school and surrounding RSF community. The RSF Education Foundation has done a wonderful job in providing invaluable and crucial support to the school. It is up to the school board to demonstrate to current and potential supporters, parents, taxpayers, and the community that we allocate these funds in a responsible and effective way. B) We must continue to monitor and work with state government officials to strike the right balance between providing services for students and maintaining a healthy fiscal position. C) The loss of Basic Aid status would be devastating to our school district. We are very fortunate to base the majority of our school budget on local property taxes. And although our district’s tax proceeds have decreased, we have been able to adjust accordingly and maintain a strong financial position.

5. What do you think of the use of capital appreciation bonds by school districts? Though capital appreciation bonds may have been used effectively by school districts in the past, in light of the recent events in Poway and various districts throughout the country, it is clear that the communication, education and transparency with voters and taxpayers in some of those instances was severely lacking. Our County Treasurer-Tax Collector recently put forward a proposal of positive reforms to help improve that process. Thankfully, the RSF School board has always been, and will continue to be, committed to proper citizens oversight. Simply put, voters deserve to clearly and openly know not just what they’re paying for, but how, when, and why. Any type of financing, and its total short and longterm costs, needs to be completely transparent and understandable to voters. 6. Any other comments about your candidacy or the district you would like to make at this time? RSF is a special place, deeply rooted in history and tradition, and made up of many amazing people. At the heart of this community, in so many ways, is our school. Both my wife and I were fortunate enough to have attended RSF School from kindergarten through 8th grade. We hold great memories from our time as students here. Many friendships and relationships built then, with students, teachers, and administrators, still exist today. The lasting mark left on us by this school, in this community, was the driving force behind us returning to RSF as parents as our three children were set to enter elementary school. My primary goal upon joining the school board was a simple one: To work tirelessly to help our school remain a place so special, that someday my children, and all their classmates, will look back at their RSF School experience decades from now and view it just as fondly as I do mine today.

2.) What experience/ qualifications would you bring to the board that you think would be beneficial? I currently sit on, and previously chaired, a reformoriented board called A Better Colgate (see abettercolgate.com). The primary purpose of this board is to allow alumni to directly elect trustees to the board of Colgate University. This effort has provided me with an opportunity to study best practices of boards in higher education and to see first hand some of the challenges embedded in our current educational system. Importantly, this experience has given me a foundation to serve on our board and to apply some of the most effective best practices from other boards to our board. In addition, I’ve had the good fortune to be taught by great teachers, to have worked with passionate partners on complex problems, but, most importantly, to have seen first hand the power of people working together. In a nutshell, I believe my collective experiences enable me to bring a collaborative, analytical, and practical approach to the board.

CHANCELLOR

Continued from page 4 percent of UC San Diego’s operating budget — fundraising will continue to be key to the university’s success, Khosla said. “The construction program of the state is pretty much going to be non-existent,” he said. “Most of the buildings that you see out here are state-constructed buildings. The money came from the state, and I don’t see that to be the case going forward. I don’t think you will see as much construction, but I do think we will be constructing, on a very strategic basis, buildings that we need, and

3.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF School district? Our community is fortunate to have a school district with so many valuable assets and such terrific people. Given our enviable position, I believe the biggest challenge is for the board to retain, train, and empower these people with the tools to continue delivering a quality educational experience to our students. That said, our state budget is under attack. If by chance something like Proposition 30 does not pass, our local school district budget would be changed immediately. Its important our board has the analytical tools to react to these types of potential changes in the coming years. 4.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #3 should be addressed by the board? The board needs to stay focused on helping our teachers, administrators, and volunteers continue to grow. Identifying best practices from other school districts and utilizing such practices is an easy way to help our people continue to grow and develop. In addition, its important that we continue to these would have to be paid for by fundraising.” Though the Board of Regents largely establishes tuition, Khosla said he could help offset the impact of rising tuition on students and families by generating more money for scholarships. “That’s the only way, in my mind, to mitigate that,” he said, noting that despite exponential tuition increases during the past decade, UC San Diego is still a comparatively good value. “If you look at UC San Diego, where the tuition is about $12,000, in that

embrace new initiatives similar to our recent IPad roll out, our efforts in robotics, and evaluate best practices from our peers. 5.) What do you think of the use of capital appreciation bonds by school districts? Capital appreciation bonds are one tool available to fund school districts. Like any capital raising decision, all options should be explored and discussed on a case by case basis. In particular, its important the board is able to be transparent in communicating these types of decisions with the community. 6.) Any other comments about your candidacy or the district you would like to make at this time? I’m excited about the opportunity to serve on our school board.

Tuition at Stanford is like $42,000 and Carnegie Mellon is like $43,000. “I don’t say this to justify the tuition going up … but I say this just to put it in perspective,” he said. “This is still an extremely good value and we are working hard to make sure that going forward there will be scholarship money available and this place will be both accessible and affordable.”

BURDGE Continued from page 2 2. What experiences/ qualifications would you bring to the board that you think might be beneficial? In addition to having my four children attend the R. Roger Rowe School, I have a financial background as a retired partner in Burdge, Daniels & Co., Inc., which dealt with municipal and corporate debt offerings. My background in finance served the district well in maintaining a sound fiscal position, which included the recent sale of municipal bonds, the financings of the new school campus, distribution of state monies, and the acquisition of property adjacent to the Rowe Campus. As the senior member of the school board, I bring the experience and knowledge of the school’s progress over the past eight years to the community. 3. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF School District? A. The biggest issue facing the RSF School District is the uncertainty of the State of California’s budget with respect to education monetary allotments. In November, the voters of California will decide upon Proposition

Rancho Santa Fe Review 30, which specifically funds local school districts. Should this proposition not pass, the “trigger cuts” that would occur would deprive the RSF School District of approximately $675,000 or 7 percent of its annual budget. The potential financial impact of this vote is a major uncertainty to the district and one of our greatest concerns regarding the future curriculum funding for our students. B. The State imposing unfunded mandated programs on all districts. C. Basic School Districts could be at risk of losing the ability to keep property taxes at the local level. D. Another critical issue surrounds maintaining high standards regarding curriculum, test scores, and the educational environment of the school. E. Lastly, incorporating the use of technology in the classroom and the preparation of our students to live in a digital world is paramount. 4. Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issues in your answer for #3 should be addressed? A. The RSF School board needs to remain fiscally conservative in these times of uncertainty due to

the State of California’s education budget problems and continue to work with the generous supporters of the RSF Education Foundation and the community at large to fund the school’s annual operations. As a school board, we must continually maximize the resources we have available and maintain the outstanding level of academics that we offer to the community. B. Continue to monitor and work with state government officials to maintain a balance between providing services for students and maintaining a healthy fiscal position. C. The loss of Basic Aid status would be devastating to our district. We are fortunate to base the majority of our budget on local property taxes. Although our district’s tax roll has decreased, we are fortunate to have been able to make the necessary adjustments and maintain a strong financial position. D. Support of the administration and teaching staff to make the necessary improvements and changes as needed is critical. E. The board must also provide the administration with the oversight and financial support to make the necessary changes as desired.

JUST IN!!

5. What do you think of the use of capital appreciation bonds by school districts? Capital appreciation bonds are bonds sold at a discount to par that pay no annual interest but accrue annually to par at maturity. Most municipal bond underwriters use capital appreciation bonds as a tranche in the overall package of securities offered in a municipal bond offering. All bond requests of the community must be completely transparent and understood by the voters of the district who approve them. The San Diego Treasurer’s office is proposing new regulations that would further guaranty complete transparency of all

municipal bond offerings issued by school districts. 6. Any other comments about your candidacy or the district you would like to make at this time? During the past eight years, I have had the opportunity to serve the Rancho Santa Fe School District. As a member of the board, I witnessed the increase of our Standardized Test scores, approved the development of specialized programs (i.e., Columbia Reading and Writing, Robotics, Tech 21, etc.), supervised the expenditures and income of the budget, and worked tirelessly on the passage of a $34 million bond measure to renovate the R. Roger Rowe campus. The approval by the dis-

trict’s voters allowed the construction of the new school campus we have today. In addition, the school district qualified for, and received, $8.4 million for capital improvements through monies from the State of California. These funds were used to construct the new artificial turf playing field, professionally outfit the new Performing Arts Center, purchase adjacent land from the RSF Association for offsite teacher parking, and, most recently, fund the technology upgrade for the entire school. I offer the community an experienced perspective toward further maximizing these new facilities in the upcoming years.

Continued from page 2 amount of money spent. Finally, I believe that community participation, a variety of viewpoints, and transparency of operations are absolutely essential to obtaining the best outcomes from elected bodies. I believe I offer the board some fresh perspective and a useful point of view as a longtime parent and taxpayer of this community. 2.) What experience/ qualifications would you bring to the board that you think would be beneficial? I bring long experience as an involved parent and community member, with a strong business background that enables me to make informed decisions. To prepare for this candidacy, I have spent the last 15 months attending all RSF School board meetings and school workshops to familiarize myself with the issues before the current board members. With over 16 years of experience at the school, having two children who have graduated and one who still attends the elementary school, I am intimately familiar with the student experience at our school and with the challenges our students face af-

Rancho Santa Fe Review ter 8th grade. My background in information systems will help me analyze complex issues, make data-driven decisions, and communicate to the public in clear terms for all to understand. I have the confidence to ask tough questions when necessary and I can be productive from day one. 3.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF School District? Thanks to the diligence of our administration and previous board members, and the support of the community, we are relatively free of serious issues. Our children attend a high-performing school, located in safe and beautiful facilities, nestled within a generous community. That said, we must resist complacency and continue to strive for excellence and continuous improvement if we are to remain competitive with other schools in the area. We must also avoid over-spending by insisting on goals, measurements, and regular reviews of our programs and other expenditures. In short, we want to be the district with the top school, not just the one that spends the most money.

TGDM_2669_Addison_MSM_AD_c2.indd 1

4.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #3 should be addressed by the board? On the issue of reaching for the top position among schools in San Diego County, I don’t wish to second guess our educators who design and implement curricula for a living. I believe we just need to invigorate and sharpen our focus a bit. As a board member, I would like to ensure that the administration and the board have the best possible information with which to steer the ship. I would like our school to set measurable academic goals that are higher than the minimums set by state and federal mandates, and higher than the minimum expectations of our local high schools. I would like to see objective assessments of programs so we can identify real strengths and weaknesses. Analysis of the costs and benefits of programs and expenditures will help us put the tax dollar to its highest and best use. Open communication is essential to garnering the trust and support of parents and the community, and I would like to see more communication in both directions between the board and the community.

5.) What do you think of the use of capital appreciation bonds by school districts? I believe that Capital Appreciation Bonds (CAB) are most beneficial to school districts that are experiencing high growth and have an immediate need to finance capital improvements. By deferring payments out 15-25 years, the tax burden is shared with the presumed larger population base down the road. However, districts with flat growth might find a better financing mechanism. In the current case of the Poway School District, the investors who hold the CAB’s appear to be receiving an unreasonably high yield at the taxpayer’s expense. Our district would be prudent to set careful policies and standards against which we are allowed to issue CABs. For example, a school district should have projected accelerated growth using objective demographics data for a set number of years before using Capital Appreciation Bonds. In the interest of transparency, the public should be made aware of who is promoting the use of bonds and who benefits from them. School districts must ensure that personal financial gain is not the motivation for marketing bonds

to the community as an educational necessity. The RSF School District currently has three series of Capital Appreciation Bonds issued from the 2004 and 2008 school bond initiatives. 6.) Any other comments about your candidacy or the district you would like to make at this time? My goals are simple and straightforward: Higher academic achievement to compete in county, state, and national ranks; prudent use of funds from taxpayers and charitable contributors; and open communication. I want to raise the bar but not the budget, and I have many ideas. For example, I would like to see RSF become the educational leader in academic innovation through local industry partnerships. We could explore working with our local high schools to give our middle school students the opportunity to collaborate on special science, math and English programs. In short, my focus will be on raising the bar on student achievement to ensure success for all students within a fiscally sound district.

Table 926 offers California cuisine from seasonal, local ingredients BY KELLEY CARLSON ull up a chair at Table 926 and experience a taste of California. The setting is casual yet upscale, rustic yet polished. The five-seat bar and the main dining room tables are fashioned from fir; the gleaming floor is also composed of wood. Nature-inspired paintings by Jarod Farver rest against one brick wall; the other wall contains a display filled with horizontal bottles of vintages from around the world. Large windows — which permit views of the child-friendly, 10-seat outdoor patio — allow for natural light to filter through, and at night, the ceiling’s small amber lights fill in. Contemporary jazz music adds to the ambience. Chalkboards that list the day’s specials and upcoming events sandwich a window that provides a peek into the semiopen kitchen. “It’s important to be able to see the guests and have a relationship,” co-owner and Executive Chef Matt Richman said. Table 926 is only open during dinner hours, but kicks things off with a happy hour most evenings. Discounts are offered on certain labels of wine and beer, and bites, such as Pork Cheek Carnitas Tacos and the Cheese Plate. Much of the dinner and dessert menus is seasonal, driven by ingredient availability at area farms. One of Richman’s go-to spots for produce is Suzie’s Farm, near the Tijuana Estuary. He also sources seafood from a local

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Table 926’s Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho with Crab fishmonger who is based in Mexican waters, and only purchases sustainable species. For meal starters, offerings include Vine Ripened Tomato Gazpacho with blue crab, avocado, micro greens and extra-virgin olive oil — a soup that is fresh and has a hint of spiciness; and Grilled Local Peaches with mache (a salad green with small, dark leaves), spiced walnuts in maple syrup, burrata and a white cava (Spanish sparkling wine) vinaigrette. Among the entrees are tender Glazed Pork Cheeks with guajillo-tamarind glaze and braised greens on top of polenta; and a Bistro Hamburger with manchego cheese, zinfandel-honey braised onions and housemade pickles on a brioche bun with a side of frites.

Roasted Beet Salad

The three-item children’s menu features a 4-ounce burger with manchego cheese on a brioche bun that is served with fries; chicken breast and fries; and penne pasta in butter and Parmesan. One of the dessert staples is the Caramelized Banana Split with scoops of Nutella, vanilla and raspberry ice cream. Do-it-yourself toppings of cherries, whipped cream, pistachios, chocolate sauce and a pineapplecaramel sauce are provided on a caddy. A prix-fixe menu is available Sundays, which allows the guest to select one appetizer, entree and dessert for $33. Every six to eight weeks, a $49 five-course beer dinner is held; wine dinners will eventually be planned, according to Richman. Patrons wear everything from jeans and T-shirts to suits. The crowd tends to be a little older earlier in the evening, and there are also families. But after 8 p.m., there are more people under the age of 40, Richman noted. He recommends requesting a seat in the dining room’s back row to watch Table 926 in action. “We’re really open-minded and humble, and try to stay as unpretentious as possible,” Richman said. As for parking, there are seven spots in the lot in front of the restaurant that are available on a first-come, first-serve basis after 5 p.m. Otherwise, there are places to park on nearby avenues.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Expanded San Diego Film Festival to debut in La Jolla BY PAT SHERMAN With fresh energy and leadership at the helm — and a bevvy of A-list events and 50 percent more screenings — San Diego Film Festival (SDFF) organizers are upping the ante for 2012 and beyond. A primary component of SDFF’s growth strategy is the addition of La Jolla as a venue for several of its top screenings, including “Quartet,” actor Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut, and an opening night appearance by legendary filmmaker Gus Van Sant (“Milk,” “My Own Private Idaho”), who will be honored with a career retrospective and a screening of his 1997 drama, “Good Will Hunting” (starring Matt Damon, Robin Williams and Ben Affleck). “La Jolla’s inclusion was really important,” said the festival’s new board president, Kevin Leap, noting that screenings will now be split between the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) in La Jolla and Reading Theater in the Gaslamp, where the festival has been based for years. “There are a lot of people in North County, La Jolla included, that just won’t go to the Gaslamp,” Leap said. “La Jolla has such a high propensity for supporting the arts that we

Tickets for individual movies are $14 pre-sale and $16 at the door. Passes range from $75 for an entire day of screenings to $500 for a VIP festival pass granting access to all four days of screenings, events, and panels. Leap said organizers wanted to hold their “most prestigious event,” the Van

Sant tribute, in La Jolla. “He is the embodiment of what an independent filmmaker begins as and can become,” Leap said. “He makes films for the sake of beauty and art. It’s not 10,000 explosions and people flying across the screen; it’s independent film at its highest level.” A VIP cocktail reception with Van Sant will be at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27 at MCASD, followed by a 30-minute film retrospective and “Good Will Hunting” at 7 p.m. in Sherwood Auditorium. Tickets to the cocktail reception are $125, or admission is free with

purchase of a VIP pass. Leap said festival organizers envision the SDFF evolving into “Toronto West.” The Toronto International Film Festival (held this year Sept. 6-16) draws about 200,000 attendees — numbers Leap feels SDFF could eventually achieve, given the city’s proximity to Hollywood, as well as its plethora of hotels, restaurants and attractions. The SDFF board consulted Sundance Film Festival organizers, as well as those with festivals in Toronto, Tribeca, Napa, Aspen, Palm Springs and San-

ta Barbara to gain insight on growing SDFF from last year’s attendance of 8,000 to an internationally acclaimed festival drawing 100,000 film lovers. Leap said the SDFF board is anticipating 25,000 attendees this year. “Palm Springs does 120,000 people and Santa Barbara does 80,000. There’s no reason that we can’t do at least that,” he said. More La Jolla film screenings Another La Jolla highlight is Dustin Hoffman’s “Quartet,” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29 in Sherwood Auditorium. The film, which received rave reviews earlier this month at the Toronto International Film Festival, chronicles the residents of a home for retired opera singers. Though Hoffman will be in Spain during the festival, his son, Jake Hoffman, also makes his directorial debut at SDFF, with the short film “Please, Alfonso.” It screens 7:30 p.m. Sept. 28 at Reading Theater. “His film was spot-on, just wonderful and charming,” said Del Mar-based filmmaker and SDFF board

Vice-president Tonya Mantooth. “It was one of the standouts for me.” Another film that rose to the top for Mantooth was the thriller “Red Line.” Directed by former San Diegan Robert Kirbyson, it follows a group of Los Angeles subway passengers in the wake of a subterranean bomb attack. “He filmed it in San Diego and used San Diego crews,” Mantooth said. “It has fabulous production values. … This truly is an independent filmmaker who worked on an obviously tight budget and really brought a lot to the screen.” “Red Line” screens 6 p.m. Sept. 29 in San Diego and at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 30 in La Jolla. Close to 100 film aficionados and a final jury of industry professionals viewed submissions from 57 countries, including Turkey, Brazil, Japan and Palestine. “We had some great foreign films,” Mantooth said. “That was probably one of the toughest categories to pare down, but we have wonderful internaSee FILM, page B22

New York milliner to open handson hat shop in Solana Beach BY CLAIRE HARLIN Jill Courtemanche loves stories about how her grandmother had a close relationship with her milliner, like the type of relationship a man might have with his barber or bartender. She’d visit her on special occasions, and her milliner kept up with landmarks and goings-on in Courtemanche’s life. Wait… what’s a milliner? It’s a hat maker — and the profession isn’t just a figment of our grandparents’ stories. While some may think of the hat as being a traditional accessory that was more common in decades past, local milliner Jill Courtemanche said millinery is far from being a lost art. “The phone always rings and there’s always someone looking for a hat,” said Courtemanche, whose hat shop, Jill Courtemanche Millinery (JCM), is set to open at 410 Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach on Nov. 8. After attending the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, Courtemanche worked as top milliner Suzanna Newman’s assistant. For eight years at the Madison Avenue shop, she outfitted the heads of celebrities such as Yoko Ono, Donatella Versace and Princess Mary of Denmark. Then she went solo, established a presence in the wholesale market and moved to Encinitas, where she now lives and works. Courtemanche said she couldn’t have chosen a better place to open her hat shop — which will double as her studio — than in the Cedros Design District. Being so close to Del Mar, where hats are a staple accessory of the horse races, as well as among the many local artists on Cedros, she feels right at home. Not only will JCM have hats on display, but she will make custom hats and hold classes. The studio will be entirely visible from the shop, so guests can see the entire hat-making process right before their eyes. “I’ve found that people really love the process, and that makes them excited that I’m actually making a hat for them,” she said. Courtemanche said one of the favorite parts of her job is establishing strong relationship with her clients. For instance, it’s not uncommon for a woman to come in for a bridal headpiece, and then return a few

Courtemanche said she thinks her biggest clientele will be men, because hats like fedoras are really emerging as an “in” item. “My sales for men’s hats have gone up a lot, and I’ve even started doing bow ties and pocket squares,” she said. “It’s really becoming a look for guys to get a custom hat made for them.” She said women often seek out custom hats because they are distinguishing pieces, and most want one that nobody else has. A hat is also a classic item that survives the ages in both style and longevity. “It’s not about young or old; it’s about style,” she said, adding that “a custom hat is always made to last.” Courtemanche said she will have hats for every season, transitioning from straw to felt for the fall, for example, and using velour in her winter designs. She will have casual and formal designs, appropriate for occasions from an outdoor wedding to an indoor cocktail party. “Wearing a hat makes getting dressed so much easier,” she said. ‘It’s the focal point of any outfit and, even better, you don’t have to worry about fixing your hair.” For more information, visit www.jillcourtemanche.com.

Sean Eduardo Sanchez Sponsor Party returns

Sponsor Party for the eighth annual Sean Eduardo Sanchez (SES) fundraising Pro-Am was held Sept. 14 at the RSF home of Dr. Sean and Marjan Daneshmand. The Sponsor Party included a Polynesian buffet dinner provided by Ohana CafĂŠ and Kuba Kreations, silent auction and entertainment by Polynesian dance troupe Kepolani Ohana E Kai. The pro-am was held Sept. 15 at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa. Proceeds will provide the children of Tecate, Mexico, with access to free tennis lessons, tennis equipment and cross border tournament transportation while also supporting the efforts of the Empty Cradle, a San Diego non-profit organization that helps parents cope with the loss of an infant before, during or after birth. Eduardo Sanchez, head tennis pro at Rancho Valencia, who organized the fundraising event, was born and raised in the city of Tecate, Mexico and accomplished a life-long dream to construct public tennis courts for use by all the citizens of Tecate, regardless of their ability to pay for instruction. He and his wife Amelia dedicated the project on June 4, 2004, in honor of their deceased son Sean Eduardo. Details on the additional beneficiary, Empty Cradle, may be located at www.emptycradle.org.

RSF Republican Women watch ‘Obama’ movie (Top row, right) On Aug. 25, several members of the RSF Republican Women, Fed. watched the new film: “2016-Obama’s America.” At $26-plus million, it is one of the highest grossing political documentaries. Co-directed and cowritten by RSF resident Dinesh D’Souza and John Sullivan, the film “aims to show D’Souza’s predictions about how the future of the United States might unfold should Obama be elected to a second term.” Afterwards, the viewers dined at the San Marcos Chick-fil-A restaurant in San Marcos. They were joined by gentlemen and ladies from the Escondido and Valley Center Republican Women, Fed. — they had separately seen the “2016” movie. “The movie is a must see,” said RSF’s Nick Dieterich.

ArtPower!’s fall lineup is simply irresistible BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ArtPower! — UC San Diego’s stimulating performing arts program — is going into its ninth season, and this year’s mix of music, dance, spoken word and film from around the world looks as eclectic and exciting as ever. October is the hottest month, with something to tempt every taste. The series runs through May. Classicists will cheer the return of the Grammy award-winning Pacifica Quartet, which opens ArtPower’s chamber music series with string quartets by Beethoven and Prokofiev. Dance devotees will welcome the appearance of London’s Russell Maliphant Company, which partners dazzling lighting effects with compelling choreography. They’ll be performing “AfterLight,” based on the life of ballet superstar Vaslav Nijinsky, who was hailed as the “god of the dance” at age 20 and spent the last half of his life lost in a private world of schizophrenia. Jazz fans will groove to the sounds of Swiss-born, New York-based harmonica

October Art Power Highlights • Oct. 1-2: The Horrible Imaginings Film Festival, 8 p.m., Price Center Theater • Oct. 4: “Entre Les Bras,” 8 p.m. The Loft; Dinner 7 p.m. • Oct. 5: Pacifica Quartet, 8 p.m. UCSD’s Prebys Concert Hall • Oct. 11: Russell Maliphant Company, 8 p.m., Mandeville Auditorium • Oct. 13: Downtown with Patti Smith, 8 p.m., Spreckels Theatre (pre-performance dinner, post-performance book-signing) • Oct. 20: Gregoire Maret, 8 p.m., The Loft • Oct. 23: Staff Benda Bilili, 8 p.m., Mandeville Auditorium (preperformance community dinner at UCSD International Center) • Events through May: http://flipflashpages. u n i f l i p . com/3/35192/155194/ pub • Tickets: (858) 5348497. www.artpower. ucsd.edu

Congolese street performers Staff Benda Bilili will bring their customized tricycles, tin-can guitars and vibrant vocals to Mandeville Auditorium, Oct. 23. COURTESY whiz Gregoire Maret, who has been compared to Stevie Wonder. And for lovers of global music, there’s the unusual Staff Benda Bilili, a group of Congolese street musicians, some of them polio survivors, who have been riding the waves of success on their customized tricycles, wowing international audiences with their vibrant vocals and tin-can guitars. For afficionados of punk rock, poetry, and the New York art scene of the late 1960s and ‘70s, there’s a very special event: an evening of spoken word with legendary Patti Smith, the Godmother of Punk who started her career by portraying herself as a 20th-century version of France’s 19th-century wild-child, poet Arthur Rimbaud. Smith’s most recent success is more mainstream, as author of the bestselling memoir “Just Kids,” which documents her life with the late, still-provocative, photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, a half-century ago. Smith, who has been called “a Rimbaud with Marshall amps,” is probably the only recipient of the following trifecta of honors: induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, winner of the National Book Award, and

Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, France’s highest recognition of artistic achievement. “This season we’re featuring performers who are looking back at the past and on to the future, like Patti Smith and the Russell Maliphant Company,” said Marty Wollesen, ArtPower! artistic director. “We’re bringing back old friends, like the Pacifica Quartet and David Sedaris, who’s coming in January, and introducing new companies, like Staff Binda Bilili. If you really want to have a good time, they’re the ones to go see. They’re just so much fun, an incredibly joyful experience!” ArtPower! has joyful experiences for film buffs, too, starting with The Horrible Imaginings Film Festival, Oct. 1-2, which includes classy treasures like the Bunuel-Dali surrealist short, “Un Chien Andalou,” and sci-fi classics like, “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” And then there are Foovies — movies at The Loft, preceded by a subjectappropriate dinner — like the new father-and-son French chef documentary “Entre Les Bras,” served up with Salade Nicoise, Cornish Hen, and other tasty delights a la francaise on Oct. 4.

Legendary poet, punk rocker and author Patti Smith will appear at the Spreckels Theatre Oct.13. Patti Smith, 2007

The Russell Maliphant Company will dance into UCSD’s Mandeville Auditorium, Oct. 11 with their Nijinsky-inspired piece ‘AfterLight.’

Royal Dance Academy continues to grow and thrive in a variety of ways •Owner Francine Garton’s passion for teaching helps students excel BY KAREN BILLING There is always something going on at The Royal Dance Academy in Carmel Valley’s Piazza Carmel. Its four studios are full every week day until 9:15 p.m.; the place pulses with dance activity all day Saturdays; and on Sundays there’s visions of sugar plum fairies as dancers rehearse to put on the studio’s first-ever “Nutcracker Ballet” this winter. Owner Francine Garton, endlessly bubbly and cheerful, couldn’t be happier with her busy dance studio as she prides herself in serving up the classes everyone wants and needs from ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, musical theater and even acting. The studio will even offer its first Zumba dance-workout class on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 10:30 a.m. The class is free. For the last three years, Royal Dance has offered competitive dance teams and they have 22 teams dancing in about four competitions per year. Teams performed at Pulse in Las Vegas, a three-day dance convention, this year and one of the team dancers, a 12 year old, has earned a spot to perform on Broadway in “Annie.” Garton teaches ballet and jazz, where she loves working up a sweat alongside the kids, leaping across the room and doing splits. She also trains students for the Royal Academy of Dance ballet examinations. An examiner flies in for four days every March and the students in the program have had a 100 percent pass rate. “We have over 700 students and what I like is that for any child, no matter what age, whether they want to dance for fun or want to be a professional, I can offer something for everyone,” Garton said. Garton strongly believes in having a great team of teachers and has 16 on staff, wanting students to find a teacher they can really connect with. “I want each child to walk out with a smile on their face, feel that they did something great, get more self esteem, had lots of fun and know that their teacher loves them and cares about them,” Garton said. Garton grew up in Liverpool, England, and got her start in dancing at age 8, walking to the little local dance school around the corner from the home she shared with her parents and five siblings. “I had a wonderful teacher who still teaches now,” Gar-

ton said. “I loved to dance but she really nurtured the love of it.” Her teacher encouraged her to pursue dance at a higher level and, at age 14, Garton was accepted to the Legat School of Dance in London and went to study ballet, contemporary, jazz and musical theater. She then attended the Northern Ballet School to study dance and dance instruction. Garton danced for the Manchester City Ballet and toured around dancing professionally, everything from cruise ships to musical theater. Royal Dance Academy owner At age 21 she opened up Francine Garton. her own dance school. Photo/Karen Billing “I always thought I would dance for much longer but when I started teaching I just realized that was my gift,” Garton said. “When you’re teaching a child and making a difference, that was really what I became passionate about.” In 2001, Garton came to America with her husband Billy and her two children (she is now a mother of four). Billy went to work right away, co-founding Carmel Valley Manchester Soccer, and Garton found Carmel Valley the perfect place to open a dance studio. “You know when you know,” Garton said. “We had uprooted our lives to come here and it was a big risk but, as with everything, you have to go all in, you can’t do it halfhearted. To fulfill your dreams sometimes you have to take a big risk.” She found a space in Piazza Carmel and as they couldn’t yet get into the studio, she held registration in the

food court. Garton was pleasantly surprised by the crowd that turned up that summer day. She enrolled 400 students in her first year. Royal Dance Academy has now expanded three times in its 11 years and now has more than 700 students. The studio underwent its most major renovation last year during a stressful two months when they took over the space of the old post office (it is now inside Elam’s Hallmark). All the stress was worth it as Garton feels the result is gorgeous, with four studios and over 6,000 square feet. “I really built it exactly how I wanted it but those who know me know that I’m always striving, always thinking what I can do to make this better,” Garton said. She would never want to move from Piazza Carmel because the location is perfect for her studio parents, but she admits to the occasional “itchy feet”— she won’t rule out the possibility of opening a second location. “I feel proud of what I’ve achieved,” Garton said, noting she sometimes still feels the need to pinch herself when walking into the studio. “It’s hard work teaching, running a business and juggling a husband and four kids. I try to find a balance of doing something I love, making a difference and also being the best wife and mother as well. At times it’s overwhelming but I get through.” Garton punctuated that last statement with one of her trademark huge grins. Registration is open for classes and schedules are online.

incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $4,360,546.75. The Beneficiary may elect to bid less than the full credit bid. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal of the note secured by said deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-5731965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.priorityposting.com regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case T.S. No. 20120064. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The mortgage loan servicer, beneficiary, or authorized agent has not obtained from the commissioner a final or temporary order of exemption pursuant to Section 2923.53. The timeframe for giving notice of sale specified in subdivision (a) of Section 2923.52 has been met. UnionBanCal Mortgage 8248 Mercury Court.

Principal of The Monarch School for homeless children speaks to local teen volunteers Editor’s Note: Due to a technical problem last issue the end of this story was cut off. It is being reprinted below. BY MARSHA SUTTON The 2012-2013 kick-off event for the founding San Diego chapter of Teen Volunteers in Action featured a moving presentation by Joel Garcia, principal of The Monarch School, a public school serving students in kindergarten through 12th grade who are impacted by homelessness. Founded in 1988, The Monarch School offers a comprehensive educational program for homeless children, many of whom are two to three grade levels behind. The school also provides for other needs such as food, laundry and shower facilities, hygiene, clothing, school supplies, transportation and counseling. TVIA boys in grades 8-12 listened attentively as Garcia described the pain of homelessness and the great need for communities to care for homeless children. Nationwide, about 1.5 million children are affected by homelessness, with 15,870 living in San Diego County. Last year the number was 13,240. Many of these children are at risk for malnutrition and obesity, as well as ear infections, dental needs and other physical ailments, Garcia said. Homeless children living in poverty often also suffer social and emotional distress. Unstable family lives, temporary and uncertain shelter, and the upheaval of frequently changing schools impact achievement and learning, Garcia said. The average length of stay at The Monarch School, he said, is six months. One fifth-grade boy has attended 10 different schools in his lifetime, with many students changing schools two or three times a year. These “tough transitions” are tremendously disruptive on children’s lives, he said. Garcia, who has a teaching credential and began his teaching career at San Diego Juvenile Hall, said many of his students repeatedly witness domestic violence. As a result, “some kids model this behavior at school.” Because most students require interventions and emotional support, the school provides a therapist on campus. Despite the unstable living conditions of many students, the attendance rate is a high 92 percent. “They want to come to school,” Garcia said. Before Garcia spoke, the audience of hundreds of TVIA teens and their parents watched a short video of Garcia being honored for his work on the Ellen DeGeneres

FILM continued from page B8 tional representation.” Though submissions had to be produced in 2011, a few exceptions were made for films with particular gravitas, Mantooth said, including 2009’s “The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler,” starring Academy Awardwinning actress Anna Paquin (“The Piano,” “True Blood”). The historical drama tells the story of a Polish woman who helped smuggle as many as 2,500 Jewish children out of a Warsaw ghetto during the Holocaust. It screens 4 p.m. Sept. 29 in La Jolla.

Joel Garcia of the Monarch School was the featured speaker. Show. One of the only schools of its kind in the country, The Monarch School is a public-private partnership between the San Diego County Office of Education and the nonprofit Monarch School Project which raises private donations for the school. It currently serves 146 students and is at maximum capacity in its 10,000-squarefoot building. Last year the school turned away 65 kids due to lack of space. To address the capacity limitations, about $14.4 million was raised, mostly from private donations, for a new 60,000-squarefoot facility in East Village which is expected to be ready in 2013. The new school will offer green space, currently lacking at the existing facility, and will be able to serve 300 students. Garcia told the TVIA boys that volunteers matter and what the teens do to help their community makes an impact. At the conclusion of Garcia’s speech, TVIA chapter president Katherine Foster presented a donation from TVIA to The Monarch School. For more information about The Monarch School, go to http://www.monarchschools.org/. Click the “donate” button for ways to give. Serving the north coastal communities of Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe, Cardiff, Encinitas and Carlsbad, Teen Volunteers in Action is an organization of young men committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal growth. For more information on TVIA, see www.tvia.org.

“The filmmaker’s going to be here and in the next day or so we’ll find out if Anna Paquin’s schedule will allow her to attend,” Mantooth said. “She’s also in a film short playing down in the Gaslamp, so she’s very eager to attend.” Another film, which screened at this year’s San Diego Latino Film Festival, is the documentary, “Reportero,” which explores

the issue of Mexican journalists being targeted for murder by drug cartels. The film, showing Sept. 28, 8:30 p.m. in the Gaslamp, sold out during this year’s Latino film fest. “We’re partnering with them to bring it back,” Mantooth said. “It was a really impactful documentary and, frankly, I felt like everybody needed to see it.”

Del Mar Taste and Art Stroll The annual Del Mar Taste and Art Stroll will be held Sunday, Oct. 7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with tastes from 1-4 p.m. The event features local artists and restaurants along with live music, kid-friendly activities and a dog stroll.

The calm interior and ocean views create a pleasant environment for agents and clients alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We, at Case Escrow believe that each real estate transaction has its own personality. There are a multitude of transaction variables and property characteristics; including title, financing, condition, legalities and just as many variables in the business style and mindset of the agent community and their clients. This is why we handle each escrow on a case by case basis.â&#x20AC;? said Marjanovich.
