press time on May 25, the Del Mar Design Review Board is set to review a request for a design review permit for the installation of approximately 2,580 linear feet of green vinyl-coated chain-link fencing with privacy slats, as well as native or drought-tolerant
landscape screening on the south side of Via de la Valle between Jimmy Durante Boulevard and west of the Solana Beach gate. The fence is needed, according to the fairgrounds, because the city of Del Mar had to remove a dense hedge that was located
within the public right-of-way at the top of a slope along the northeast portion of the fairgrounds property in order to install a sidewalk along the south side of Via de la Valle. The new sidewalk was part of the city’s SEE FENCE, A22
Firm to help find new SDUHSD superintendent BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board opted to go with the search firm of Leadership Associates in a 3-1 vote as it looks to fill the vacancy left by outgoing Superintendent Rick Schmitt. The firm was selected out of five firms interviewed in a public session on May 20. Board member Mo Muir voted against the decision, preferring instead the firm of California School Boards Association/McPhearson and Jacobson. Board member John Salazar was not present but had stated at the last board meeting that he was not in favor of hiring a search firm and would not support any candidate brought forward by a search firm. Salazar said he thinks the district should hire an interim superintendent until after the November election when the board’s makeup may change.

Deputies cracking down on people not using seat belts This month, the Sheriff’s Department is cracking down on people who don’t wear their seat belts. The nationwide Click It or Ticket campaign will run from May 23 to June 5. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly half of the 21,022 passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in 2014 weren’t wearing their seat belts. “I want to remind everyone to buckle up before driving,” said Sheriff Bill Gore. “Not only is it the law, but those seconds it takes to put on your seat belt could save your life.” Be aware that deputies are always looking for drivers who aren’t following California’s seat belt laws. The Sheriff’s Department issued 698 seat belt violation citations in 2015. In 2014, deputies issued 727 citations. Anyone caught not wearing their seat belt may be cited. A first offense will cost you approximately $160. Remember to always wear your seat belt.

Businessman takes out fraudulent loans against homes in Del Mar, La Jolla BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A Coronado businessman admitted in federal court May 19 to participating in a scheme where he and a partner obtained tens of millions of dollars in fraudulently obtained loan proceeds. Courtland Gettel, 42, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud in San Diego federal court a day after a co-defendant, attorney Jeffrey Greenberg of Tucson, Arizona, entered comparable pleas in the case. Gettel and Greenberg, 66, generated their huge illicit profits by taking out loans against multimillion-dollar homes in La Jolla and Del Mar, then pretending the debts had been paid off in order to secure more loans from new lenders, court documents state. To pull off the scam, Gettel, Greenberg and their co-conspirators created phony real estate lien releases and recorded fraudulent records at the San Diego County Recorder’s Office, then defaulted on their obligations to repay the loans, according to prosecutors. Gettel ran a real estate investment firm known both as Conix Inc. and Variant Commercial Real Estate. It refurbished single-family homes, purchased distressed
debt, and purchased and refurbished commercial real estate projects. As part of his plea, Gettel admitted that he and an informal business partner acquired high-end homes in La Jolla and Del Mar by claiming that they intended to use them as luxury rental properties, though they in fact wound up living in them along with their families. When they needed money to fund other business deals, Gettel and his partner began negotiating with new lenders, pretending that the earlier loans had never existed at all or were fully paid off. Greenberg, their lawyer, admitted that he used his expertise to generate and record fraudulent records, making it appear that prior loans were paid off. The deceit went on for more than a year, during which time Gettel, Greenberg and their co-conspirators obtained at least $33.6 million in fraudulent proceeds from no less than eight multimillion-dollar fraudulent loans. Gettel relied on Greenberg to help hide the true nature of the transactions, directing the proceeds to the attorney’s bank accounts before distributing the money
further, court documents state. In late 2014, lenders uncovered the fraud and began to discover that their secured interests in the properties were worthless. Greenberg also pleaded guilty to participating in an equally sizable fraud that occurred in Tucson, where he worked for Conix and VCRE. In that scheme, Greenberg and his co-conspirators obtained tens of millions of dollars in unearned payments from a real estate financing firm by creating false invoices and expense reports for work purportedly performed on their commercial real estate portfolio, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego. Instead of using the money to refurbish their commercial properties as required, Greenberg and his co-conspirators spent it on themselves, prosecutors alleged. As part of their pleas, Gettel and Greenberg agreed to forfeit the proceeds they stole from the various lenders and pay restitution to the victims. Both defendants are scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 8.
DEL MAR MESA COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD BRIEFS (MAY 12 MEETING) •Northwestern Police Department Community Relations Officer Trevor Philips, succeeding Officer Tracey Williams, said he was “pleasantly surprised” to acquire his new position, and noted his email address: ttphilips@pd.sandiego.com. Philips reported speeding around the Mesa continues to be a problem. Because kids are jumping on speed trailers, the trailers are now relocated next to homes. Burglaries necessitate locking doors,
windows, and not leaving property in vehicles, Philips said. The city is studying installation of a four-way stop to slow traffic, according to Philips. •911 calls: Philips said lack of staffing is causing 911 calls to have a few seconds delay in answering. •Board representatives approved Elizabeth Rabbitt, Vice Chair; Ken London, Community Service; Rob Mikuteit, Trails representative; Michael Vinson, Grand Del Mar representative.
•Marvin Gerst Day: County Supervisor Dave Roberts noted the recent passing of Marvin Gerst and the declaration of May 10 as Marvin Gerst Day. The honor highlights Gerst’s service as an ardent advocate of trails preservation as member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning board and Citizens Advisory Committee for the Los Penesquitos Canyon Preserve. “We’ve lost a real giant,” Roberts said. — Reported by Suzanne Evans

A new Del Mar Mesa trail was the result of a collaboration between SDMBA and Pardee Homes.
Developer, cyclists connect to build new Mesa trail
BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Mountain Bike Association (SDMBA) and Pardee Homes celebrated the completion of a unique collaborative trail effort on on May 17. A group gathered at the new trailhead in Del Mar Mesa, off Del Mar Mesa Road and Del Vino in the new Alta Del Mar community, for a ribbon cutting and trail dedication. Those in attendance included Susie Murphy, executive director of SDMBA, Allen Kashani, director of project management from Pardee Homes, Ben Stone, vice president of SDMBA, and Kyle Heiskala, representing San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner’s office. “The great thing about working with Allen and Pardee Homes was that it allowed us to make a nature-based trail with developers,
which hasn’t been done in San Diego,” Murphy said. Rather than being anti-development or forging illegal trails, Murphy said she hopes others will follow their trailblazing efforts, working with developers to create more quality “neighborhood to nature” trails. A collection of mountain bikers were anxious to ride after the ceremony was complete, coasting down the slight incline through brush and blooming wildflowers, disappearing under a canopy of trees. As trail building projects go, this one was considered “lightning fast,” Murphy said. SDMBA and Pardee began initial discussions and planning in November. More than 60 volunteers helped work on the trail during a work day on Feb. 27, led by the International Mountain Bicycling Association’s Subaru
3-Month Get Fit for Summer Membership!
Trail Care Crew. There were three more organized work days but Murphy acknowledged the tireless work of Ben Stone and Rich Julian, who spent many hours working to finish the trail on week days during the last few months. She estimated in all, it was about 400 hours of work with 70 individuals working on the trail. “We’re thrilled that it came together so quickly,” Murphy said. SDMBA has nicknamed the new one-half mile trail “The Appendix.” The new trail alignment is close to an area once home to “The Intestines,” a popular system of trails that was closed when Pardee began work on the Alta Del Mar development in 2008. The trail will provide connectivity to the Cobbles Trail via the crossing under Carmel Mountain Road. The
single-track, three-foot-wide path hugs close to the trees, providing the more “intimate” trail experience that people like, Murphy said. The multi-use trail is meant for the enjoyment of cyclists, hikers, trail runners, equestrians and neighbors. Murphy said the trail is a great asset for the community to have right in their own backyard — she said open space is a free amenity that has been shown to raise property values as well as the quality of life of residents. SDMBA recently received a grant from REI and its future plans include continuing to work on Black Mountain trails and San Dieguito River Park trails in Julian. Pardee Homes also contributed $5,000 donation to SDMBA as part of their continuing partnership.

Del Mar Farmers CCA student receives Leadership Award Market to relocate The Del Mar Farmers Market set to relocate to Upper Shores Park at 225 9th Street, starting June 4 With the imminent demolition and construction of City Hall, the Farmers Market will be temporarily relocating to the Upper Shores Park, one block South of its current site of operation. Del Mar city staff worked with the Del Mar Farmers Market to secure the new site, with approval from the Del Mar Planning Commission and City Council. Thirty years ago, with the hard work of a handful of Del Mar citizens, the Del Mar Farmers Market was created to fill the need for fresh produce after the local grocery market closed. The Farmers Market has operated in the parking lot of the City Hall between 10th and 11th Streets ever since. Parking for the Farmers Market will be in the Lower Shores area, accessible from Stratford Court. Those on foot will have easy access walking from 225 9th Street. Customers of the Del Mar Farmers Market will enjoy the same quality, friendly event every Saturday, from 1-4 p.m. at 225 9th Street, Del Mar. www.delmarfarmersmarket.org
Seeking former students of St. James Academy Del Mar campus The City of Del Mar is tearing down its city hall, the original St. James Academy school. Any students who attended the school from 1952 1968 are invited to be part of the final “school picture” on June 5 at 3 p.m. at the 10th Street entrance. The building was also Del Mar’s first public school (1923-1951). Students from that era are welcome to join.
The Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego (JCF) recently announced that Noa Eaton is the 2015 recipient of the Peter Chortek Leadership Award. Noa, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy in Del Mar, connected to her philanthropy in the 5th grade after participating in a Girl Scout house building project in Tijuana. Since then she has been committed to Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), literally one nail at a time. Noa is a head intern at Casas de Luz and has been involved with the organization for over five years. Casas de Luz is a non-profit organization that raises funds and builds homes for families in need located in Tijuana. Noa participated and expanded the reach of the program starting as a bat mitzvah project and through her senior year in high school. She has helped over 130 students get involved, planned fundraisers and participated

in builds. In addition, she has encouraged three others to fundraise for builds of their own for at-risk families and has created personal experiences for people, allowing them to become invested in this important cause. Casas de Luz (CDL) focuses on three main programs through which they
hope to help build sustainable communities in Tijuana. They started in 2005, building one home per year. In 2015 alone, CDL built eleven homes and delivered over 75 truckloads of donations. Noa accepted the prestigious Chortek Leadership Award May 15 and shared stories and accomplishments of the program to an engaged audience. This event took place during the Jewish Teen Foundation’s check presentation ceremony at the San Diego Jewish Academy. The Peter Chortek Leadership Award honors teen excellence in community service and leadership. It is supported by the Peter Chortek Youth Philanthropy Leadership Fund held at the Jewish Community Foundation, established by Peter (of blessed memory) and Elaine Chortek.

30 years after cancer treatment, local man still rocking
BY JOE TASH When Russ Zinser speaks to people with cancer, he urges them to look beyond their disease and its treatment. “That’s one of the messages I give when I talk. Figure out what you’re going to do when you get out of the treatment process, and plan on getting out,” said Zinser, 66, a local resident who will celebrate 30 years of being cancer free on June 19. Zinser will share his empowering message at an event for cancer survivors scheduled for 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 12, at Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla. That date is one week before the 30th anniversary of the bone marrow transplant he received to combat chronic myelogenous leukemia, or CML. The disease is caused by a genetic mutation, and Zinser said doctors declared him cured about a year after the procedure, when tests could no longer detect the mutation in his DNA. Before he could reach his goal of a cure, Zinser had to undergo the grueling process of the bone marrow transplant, which entailed a hospital stay of about seven weeks. Dr. William Miller, a Scripps Clinic hematologist/oncologist who treated Zinser, said the transplant involves administering high-dose chemotherapy and total body radiation with the goal of obliterating the patient’s diseased bone marrow, and with it, his or her own immune system. A new immune system is then put in place through the transplant, using bone marrow from a donor, which in Zinser’s case was a sibling, said Miller. (Zinser recalled that receiving the donated marrow was like getting

While bone marrow transplants are still used for some forms of cancer, in the case of CML, the cancer that Zinser had, a new drug became available in 2001 that effectively turns off the cancer cells and puts the patient into remission, Miller said. Today, said Miller, researchers are working on new treatments that will harness the power of
patient’s own immune system and focus that power on killing cancer cells. “That’s a cause for huge excitement and I share that excitement,” he said. Zinser, a retired management consultant, said that at the time of his transplant, he was told to expect to be out of work for a year. “I just would not accept that,” he said, and instead was back on the job, bald and wearing a hat, in four months. A few months after that, he was back to his passion of staying physically fit through running, playing softball and other activities. During his hospital stay, he taught himself a music-making computer program, and later, fulfilled his goals of writing both songs and prose. One of his two novels, a science fiction tale called “In the Balance,” is available on Amazon.com. He also put out his own rock
music CD. Among the lessons he learned from his battle with cancer, said Zinser, is “that life is fragile and you could be gone in a second. Things that I may have put off, I didn’t put off anymore.” These days, said Zinser, he keeps busy playing golf, keeping fit, making music and gardening. He also enjoys the companionship of his family, including his wife, children and grandchildren. “There’s not a lot of down time,” he said. Anyone who has a suspicious ailment should get it checked out as soon as possible, rather than putting off a doctor visit out of fear of hearing bad news, he said, crediting early detection of his cancer with his successful treatment. A positive attitude also helps, said Miller. “It’s not easy to fight a potentially fatal disease to a standstill and win, it takes a huge amount of effort. Having a person who believes that can be done and is willing to fight for that outcome has been a recurrent source of inspiration in watching my patients over the last 30 years,” Miller said. “My impression when I’ve interacted with (Zinser) over the last 30 years is that he’s enjoyed his life very much,” said Miller. “It does make a difference, it makes it possible to fight your disease and live your life as well as it can possibly be done.” Those who want to attend the cancer survivor’s event on June 12 at Scripps Green Hospital are asked to register by June 6 at 858-554-8533. Another cancer survivor’s event is planned for June 25 at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. Register by calling 1-800-SCRIPPS (1-800-727-4777).

Cabbage patch kids at Del Mar Heights BY KAREN BILLING el Mar Heights students were able to grow one giant cabbage in the school garden over the last few months — their cabbage tipped the scales at 41.5 pounds, dwarfing many of the young garderners. Bonnie Plants donated the giant cabbage seedlings for each of Del Mar Heights’ third grade students to plant and observe at home. The
D
41.5-pounder was planted in the school garden so students could see how their plant was doing in comparison to the one at school. The students were able to enjoy the fruits of their labor as the Del Mar Highlands eatery Snooze used Del Mar Heights’ giant cabbage as well as peaches from their garden at a Farm to Table event at the restaurant on May 24. The chef made peach mamba pancakes and pork tacos with giant cabbage slaw.

German Pacific School students win TPHS student among Don Diego scholarships recipients place on AATG Presidential Honor Roll Future agricultural educators and entrepreneurs, engineers, artists, physicians and leaders in diverse other fields will begin working toward their career goals by embarking upon college studies this fall, supported by scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 from the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation. Eligibility was open to San Diego County high school seniors who participated in the San Diego County Fair and/or other activities associated with the Del Sofia Davis Mar Fairgrounds. The 12 recipients hail from throughout San Diego County, come from varied backgrounds and have an amazing array of talents, skills and interests. According to Don Diego Chair Jon Liss, “All share key traits: they are without a doubt among the most authentic, idealistic, dedicated, intelligent, ambitious and selfless young adults in our area. We are confident that each will attain success, give back to their community, and help build a better San Diego and a better world.” Recipients will be recognized at Don Diego’s exclusive Dinner and Concert Gala on June 30 at the Fair. Tickets are available at

The Gala culminates in elite seating for “Brian Wilson presents ‘Pet Sounds: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary’ with special guests Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin.” Locally, UCSD is the fortunate university acquiring $5,000 Employee recipient Sofia Davis, a Torrey Pines High standout who plans to major in Global Health and become a pediatrician. She says interning at Palomar Medical Center has been “one of the most educational and amazing experiences of my life.” Sofia earned a 4.30 GPA, amassed diverse academic honors and awed her instructors. Teacher Colin Cornforth calls her “intellectually gifted, witty and eager.” Principal Lindsey Olson praises her “maturity, motivation and potential.” The exuberant Sofia says that her ice cream stand job at the Fair not only strengthened her skills but gave her a chance to enjoy her favorite food: “I had so much fun; the paycheck was just an added bonus!” Noting that the work made her eligible for the scholarship, she says, “Thank you, Don Diego community, for this amazing opportunity!” For more information and a list of all winners, visit www.dondiegoscholarship.org.

North Shore 8U Gold takes second in tourney North Shore’s 8U Gold All-Stars finished as Finalists in the 3rd Annual Coastal Classic Tournament in Carmel Valley. The young ladies overcame two tough opponents in Rancho Bernardo and Newbury Park to make it to the Championship Game. In both games, the 8U Gold team came from behind in the final innings to advance. “I was really proud of the way the girls played,” said Manger Robo Feldman. “By the time we made it to the Championship, the parents were calling them the ‘Comeback Girls,’” he said. In the Championship Game North Shore played hard but lost to Huntington Beach, placing second in the tournament.

Horses For Happiness recently hosted its third annual free horse camp for under-served and at-risk youth. Horses for Happiness was created three years ago by Kelsey Yin, now a freshman at Canyon Crest Academy, as a way to share her love of horses with those that would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience these animals. Free horse camp is offered to kids from the San Diego Center For Children. It is coordinated and managed by Kelsey and staffed entirely by volunteers. Horses and the lead trainer, Amy Holman, are provided by Horsebound, a riding school located in Rancho Peñasquitos. Seven girls ages 8-15 attended this year’s camp, including two who returned from last year. This year’s camp included lessons on grooming and handling horses. The return campers learned so much last year, they were able to lead some of the lessons. Everyone’s favorite part, however, is always the horseback riding. This year everyone took a different trail, meandering past the
1903 adobe house and its original barn. The camp ended with crafts and snacks underneath the maple trees. Girls also had the opportunity to try out their hair-styling techniques on the barn beauty queen- Akira, the golden palomino pony. With her long, blonde locks, she is perfect for brushing and braiding (almost like a living My Little Pony). The Horses for Happiness camp benefits kids in many ways. Most noticeable was the kids’ increased ability to focus on the task at hand and absorb what they were learning. Horses live in the moment and require undivided attention. There is something about communicating with a 1,000-pound animal that gives kids confidence and a feeling of control. Even if they were at first frightened to get on the horse, they ended the day with a big smile and a sense of accomplishment.

In The Super Dentists’ first piece last month, we covered the topic of choosing a pediatric dentist over a general dentist for your child’s dental needs. This article details the characteristics of a pediatric dentist you should consider when making your choice. Kid-friendly care. Expert advice for parents and caregivers. An inclusive, fun-loving environment. Dr. Kami Hoss, co-owner of The Super Dentists with his wife Dr. Keri, has built a practice that follows these principles and then some. The office goes above and beyond to welcome children and their families, making them feel like part of their own family. So what should you, the parent, be looking for when choosing your child’s dentist? Here are four factors to take into consideration:
1: Experience: It is crucial for dentists to establish a friendly relationship with children to combat fears and to deliver effective treatment. “We don’t just pop up a couple of video games and hope the kids have a good experience,” Dr. Hoss said. The Super Dentists feature kid-friendly educational movies and work hard to build relationships with their patients both in and out of the dentist’s chair. 2: Expertise: Pediatric practitioners are solely focused on kids, including preventive dental health. They also have the latest information on preventive treatments and are able to position a child for a lifetime of healthy dental habits. “(Pediatric dentists) are not only very good at everything related to the technical dental needs of the child, but they are also great at understanding child behavior and working
with children who have special needs,” Dr. Hoss said. Another key factor that falls into expertise is the type of equipment pediatric dentists use including tools like the wand, oral scanners and lasers.
3 Convenience & Accessibility: The Super Dentists offer pediatric dentistry, orthodontic care, teeth whitening, Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, invisible braces and the latest accelerated braces technologies to their patients. Located across Oceanside, Chula Vista, East Lake and San Diego, they do so inside office environments fit for kids of any age. “We accept all insurance types and offer financial aid to patients who do not have it,” Dr. Hoss said. “This helps us never turn away a difficult dental case or a child with special needs.” 4 Community: Look for a pediatric dentist who is active in the community. Many offer free kids dental days, smile contents and local events to engage and encourage families to practice proper dental health. Candy buy-back days and food drives for local shelters are a couple of other ways that many pediatric dentist offices make a difference in their own backyards. Once you find a pediatric dentist who is right for you and your family, there are many key milestones in a child’s life to follow. Your new dentist will play a key role in educating you on specific care tips and potential issues, helping you maintain your child’s oral health for years to come. Here are three monumental ages in a child’s life when it comes to seeking appropriate dental checkups and care: Age 1 – The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children make their first visit to the dentist at age 1 to establish a foundation for their dental care.

“We can work with parents to educate them on some basic tooth care principles,” said Dr. Hoss. These can include the proper use of fluoride, management of oral habits such as finger and thumb sucking, teething, connection between diet and overall health, how to care for an infant’s or toddler’s dental health. Age 4 – This is a critical age for children to correct bad oral habits such as sucking or chewing on fingers and thumbs. Dentists can reinforce strategies to help a child overcome these habits quickly and effectively. “A checkup at four years old enables parents to find out it if their children are getting enough fluoride, which develops healthy teeth and prevents early tooth decay,” Dr. Hoss said. “With proper amount of fluoride, children can reverse low levels of tooth decay and keep new cavities from forming.” Age 7 – “This is a great time to introduce orthodontics, which play crucial role in child’s oral health,” Dr. Hoss said. By seeing orthodontist at age seven, children may be able to reduce the risk of tooth trauma as well as the need to extract permanent teeth in the future. A child’s first molars erupt by age seven, resulting in a back bite. “Getting them in for a visit now allows orthodontists to properly evaluate the front-toback and side-to-side relationship between a child’s teeth and detect future dental problems.” Visit www.thesuperdentists.com to find a location near you.

OUR READERS WRITE Water Rights or Wrongs I was and continue to be in opposition to the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) rate increase — not because I objected to the need to raise rates, but for the non-transparent approach displayed in the Notice of Public Hearing generated by SFID. Most of the customers who sought to be educated in regard to the proposed rate increase found it difficult at best to comprehend all of the complicated and distorted data that was presented as justification for the increase. What is even more objectionable is the fact that the majority of members of the SFID board and management refused to address and correct any of the flaws that were revealed during their meetings and public review period – unfair application of rate increases, inaccurate statistics, unreliable data and the like. Only two of the board members were willing to step up, ask questions, propose changes, and do their best to educate the customers in their divisions. So not only were most of the district’s customers unable to get an accurate grasp on what this rate increase really meant, they had no easy way to voice an opinion. Community meetings and forums were designed as arenas for SFID to tout its plan, not to address its flaws or unfairness and certainly not to make any changes. It was a done-deal, a winner-take-all vote that could only be stopped by over 50 percent of the customers filing written protests. Wouldn’t it have leveled the playing field to allow customers to protest by having a Protest Slip available in the Notice Booklet or mailed with their last billing statement so they could easily fulfill the strict requirements necessary to file a valid protest? Somehow I think the outcome would have been very different. Just to add a footnote: I have just seen the posting on the Santa Fe Irrigation District’s website announcing the approval of the water rate increases. Wow! It was posted on the same date, May 19, 2016, as the public hearing. Seems like a waste of taxpayer money to go to all the expense of notifying the public that it has any rights to comment or oppose something that is already rubber-stamped. Is this how Prop 218 was intended to protect our rights? Joleene Cannon, FAIRBANKS RANCH
Get Ready to Pay a Lot More For Your Water Last Thursday morning, over the objection of two members of its own board and an unprecedented number of protests from its own customers, three Santa Fe Irrigation District board members raised your water rates, effective June 1. It was a strange spectacle. They mounted an intimidating police presence, with four armed vehicles and numerous uniformed officers. What was that all about? Then they drove away a number of people who had come to speak by dominating the first 90 minutes or so of the meeting with self-serving and fundamentally misleading PR, essentially blowing smoke. Finally, after customers were finally allowed their allocated maximum of three minutes each, the manager reported to the board that less than 50 percent of water customers had filed a protest, so
they could proceed with the rate increases if they chose to do so. I found it shocking that three elected board members effectively dismissed the objections of so many of their own customers, and two of their own elected colleagues, as if they were due no consideration whatsoever. Perhaps it is time for the water customers to return the favor, and elect new members who will? Don Billings, SOLANA BEACH
SFID’s Questionable Water Math Pages and pages of math will not give you the correct answer if your assumptions are wrong. No partial credit. You get a zero on that question. As a Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) board member voting against last week’s rate increase hike, I agree that we need to raise more revenue to dig us out of the unnecessary hole that Governor Brown’s unilateral water cutback created. How we build back that money is where I strongly disagree. SFID tried to “sell” the rate increase in Thursday’s public 218 meeting by saying we had the best legal and rate consultants available. But under questioning, the rate consultant admitted that with different assumptions for fixed costs and a matrix of cost allocations, a very different rate structure would result. These rate studies are based on “average” users. Yet SFID does not have a homogeneous average; three divisions have high density and two have low density, leading to a skewed analysis at best. However, because of the 3-2 board majority on various votes for the past year, the rate consultant was not allowed to prepare alternatives, nor did our water district’s CFO. To me, this is unconscionable. The Proposition 218 process is supposed to help people from being charged more than they should for things like the water we use. However, if you take the time to look in detail at SFID’s supporting rate study you may come up with a different conclusion. When questioned, the consultant stated that for most water districts, the average amount of fixed costs collected by meter fees is about 30 percent. At SFID, this number has only been 16 percent (increased to 19 percent this year because of new fees that Metropolitan is charging SFID for imported water, not by shifting internal SFID costs). Our rate structure is set up so that bigger users cover these fixed costs through the larger amounts of water they buy. When larger customers cut back usage, we don’t cover our fixed costs and dig deeper into reserves to make up the shortfall. Also at the meeting, the district’s CFO stated that next year’s proposed budget (based on this rate study) will result in about a $3.9 million financial hole as we take another $1.3 million from our “Rate Stabilization” Reserve and don’t contribute to the normal $2.6 million “Capital Improvement” Reserve. As a result, our reserves will dip well below the board’s targets that have been in place for years with this approach. To cover our fixed costs to operate SFID, we would have to sell substantially more water (at over a 20 percent increased water fee) to our largest users, while about 30 percent of our smaller users will see their water bills reduced by about 5 percent. How equitable does that sound?
What if our larger users keep cutting back on how much water they buy at these higher rates? It’s all in the math. Bad assumptions give you the wrong answer every time. Greg Gruzdowich
SFID Rate Protest: Lessons Learned? Sincere thanks to the 1324 SFID (Santa Fe Irrigation District) ratepayers who submitted written protests against the rate proposal that was approved at last Thursday’s SFID board meeting by the votes of the three directors representing Solana Beach divisions. Ten individuals gave public testimony and perhaps double that amount observed the hearing. No raised voices; no interruptions; a couple of bursts of polite applause after several ratepayer remarks: concerned citizens taking their time to witness the public process. As a sitting board member, I was taken aback hearing the second sentence of the district’s prepared remarks: “But I know that some people are angry, so they’re having some trouble listening to what we have to say.” Having spent 15 hours sitting outside the RSF Post Office to communicate with SFID ratepayers about Prop. 218 written protests, I did not observe “angry people.” Nor did I encounter “angry people” emailing and speaking with neighbors within my community of Fairbanks Ranch. Throughout the required Prop. 218 45-day public review period, the district received four letters: they were not “angry” letters. What I did observe and encounter were SFID ratepayers with varying degrees of understanding of the Prop. 218 process. (The 8-page document required by law to be written by SFID did not appear to successfully educate all ratepayers about all aspects of the rate proposal.) I was delighted to engage in dialogue with ratepayers who had studied the Cost of Service Study, gaining a clear grasp of the fallacies of a rate proposal that compared small city lots to large estate properties. I was personally gratified by the kind words and encouragement shown our “post office card table” efforts. Considerate, thoughtful SFID ratepayers, not “angry people.” Let’s circle back to that opening remark by SFID District staff: “…some people are angry, so they’re having some trouble listening to what we have to say.” When a business says its customers are angry and aren’t listening to the business…red flag alert. When the “business” is a public utility that exists only to serve the needs of the public…red flag high wind alert. It is regrettable that district staff did not begin with an acknowledgment that 1324 ratepayers engaged in a dialogue with the district about their rate proposal. Our California Constitution demands the district inform their ratepayers by sending out the 8-page document that must include written protest instructions. A press release about the approved rate increase was posted to the SFID website the same day as the public hearing. This press release made no mention that 20 percent of their customers objected to their rate proposal; no mention of the thoughtful public testimony. Who’s having “some trouble listening?” Marlene E. King, SFID BOARD MEMBER, DIV. 3, FAIRBANKS RANCH AND LARGE PORTION OF THE COVENANT

FROM BRY, A2 jobs and help small businesses grow, so that we can invest in maintaining San Diego’s quality of life by fixing our streets, protecting our beaches, bays, and parks and conserving our water supply. 1.) What do you think are the most important issues facing Carmel Valley? Safe neighborhoods are central to any community. Compared to other cities, San Diego has a relatively low crime rate, and our hardworking SDPD officers deserve much of the credit for that. That said, our city’s crime rate is rising, 9-1-1 call wait times are mounting and we need to do a better job of recruiting and retaining quality law enforcement officers to protect San Diegans. In addition, we need to reduce traffic and protect neighborhoods from over-development. That is why I stood with the community to fight against the initial One Paseo project. It was not appropriate for the Carmel Valley community because it was too large, out of character for the area and traffic generation would dramatically increase congestion. It was not smart growth. One of the issues that concerned me most about the project was the tremendous increase to traffic along Del Mar Heights Road and its impact on emergency response times. Finally, as the threat of a strong El Nino subsides, we must redouble our efforts to combat the drought to secure our long-term water supply. 2.) How would you address those issues? If we want to keep crime low, we’ll need to continue to recruit and retain the best officers. Currently, there are about 165 police job vacancies. It would be my priority to work with the Police Department on a plan to fill those positions as soon as possible. While I am optimistic about the progress that has been made, I am concerned that the latest smaller proposal for the One Paseo project would increase traffic and emergency response times. Before allowing any plan to advance, I urge the city to establish an emergency response team on the west side of I-5 and to develop a permanent public safety solution for the area. In addition, Kilroy should provide tram service and work with the community to set the best routes to reduce congestion. In the long-term, we need to work with SANDAG and the city to bring public transit to Carmel Valley more expeditiously. Finally, I’ve outlined a plan to secure our water supply, and it can be summed up by the 5 “R’s”— Reduce, Recapture, Recycle, Rates and Reinvent. You can read my complete plan as well as my plans to address housing, job growth and other issues at: http://www.barbarabry.com/issues.
FROM ELLIS, A2 volunteer on the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board, I know how important maintaining our trails and protecting our open space is to our community. 2.) How would you address those issues? With regard to One Paseo, one solution may be utilizing a Rapid Response Squad on the west side of I-5, which has been successful in other parts of the city. To address the traffic and mobility concerns, installing synchronized traffic signals and making our community more walkable and bikeable will improve the situation. I believe in strong public-private partnerships. Working with organizations like the Friends of Del Mar Mesa, other volunteer groups and the city, we can collaborate to address issues with our trails and parks throughout the community.

How would you address those issues? 1. One Paseo: I don’t support the revised project because it is still 1.2 times too large for this site, and as a result, it doesn’t have widespread community support.

work with the community and the developer to achieve a reasonable compromise that minimizes traffic impacts. 2. Completion of Pacific Highlands Ranch: this neighborhood is one of the best master-planned communities in District 1. It is nearing completion, with two major elements that still need to be completed. The Community Park and Rec Center design has recently been finalized and the project will soon be moving forward to construction. In addition, Village Loop Road needs to be completed to improve traffic circulation through the area. I would work to help acquire the property to complete this vital connector. 3. Addressing traffic gridlock, especially along Del Mar Heights Road: we need to look at integrated traffic signal
synchronization along the entire length of the road and with surrounding streets to help improve traffic flow, especially during rush hour. We should also look at freeway on- and off-ramp improvements and ensure that any traffic synchronization extends to those ramps. 4. Fire safety and emergency response coverage: while Carmel Valley itself has good fire and emergency response coverage, some of the surrounding areas, such as Torrey Pines and Torrey Hills, suffer from slower response times. We need to build an additional fire station in Torrey Hills, as called for in the 2011 Citygate report on citywide fire and emergency response coverage. We should also look at a possible addition of a two-person fast response squad for Torrey Pines, as has been requested by the Torrey Pines Community Planning Board.
emergency response times. I would also be supportive of further analyzing the completion of the Village Center Loop Road extension. New technologies like car-sharing and community scale shuttle programs could greatly improve circulation. I’ve worked directly with MTS on similar projects and see a need in the area for more mobility
options. More bikes, buses and walking! San Diego at large can reform our housing policies to ensure that there are enough homes available for the people that work in an area like Carmel Valley. When people can afford to live close enough to their jobs, traffic can be reduced and the quality of life is improved.
FROM RODOLICO, A3 mistrust. For lack of a better description I have referred to these projects as Dark Projects. We must respect the input from the taxpayers and take advantage of their collective knowledge. Concealing a project until it is too late for community comment is the ultimate disservice. I have worked as a pro-bono community advocate on dozens of projects and I have learned that even though I am a trained architect it is always the best path to follow collective wisdom.

to resolve final design issues. With the redesigns, the entrance to the restrooms and the roof of the breezeway was modified. The design of the western wall of the parking garage was also altered to eliminate light and noise to neighbors. The design team will further detail design modifications during the council’s next meeting on June 6. “I think the outstanding design challenges have now been settled and we’re past 50 percent
construction drawings and headed for 100 percent,” Mosier said. “I think the outcome will be something that the council and the public will like,” Corti added. Demolition of the existing city hall is set to take place in June and July. Construction drawings should be complete in July with a contract awarded in September. Construction is scheduled to begin in October. Estimated construction of the civic center project is between 18 and 24 months.

FROM GIRL SCOUT, A9
FROM SDUHSD, A1
Operation Thin Mint is a unique local community service project in which Girl Scouts team with generous cookie customers to send “a taste of home and a note to show we care” to deployed military troops. Since the program’s inception in 2002, more than 2.7 million boxes and countless handwritten notes of support have reached U.S. Navy, Marine, Army, Air Force and National Guard troops aboard ships and stationed in places around the world, including Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the South Pacific. This year, San Diegans donated 159,198 boxes to U.S. service men and women. Zoey, a member of Junior Troop 1814, sold 3,140 boxes, with 860 boxes donated to OTM. Girl Scout Senior Zoe, of Troop 1276, reached a total of 2,044 boxes, of which 532 were for OTM. The girls were among 22 Girl Scouts recognized for selling 2,016 or more boxes in 2016. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the world’s largest girl-led enterprise, teaching girls like Zoe and Zoey about money management, goal setting, decision making, people skills and business ethics. All proceeds stay local to support Girl Scout troop activities, volunteer trainings and programs, including Girl Scout summer camp.

nationally, as well as its knowledge of the district — the firm has helped San Dieguito on its last three superintendent searches. Since 1996, Leadership and Associates has assisted school boards in their selection of superintendents in more than 350 California school districts. Locally, the firm is also currently working with the Rancho Santa Fe School District on its superintendent search. The firm’s lead consultants on San Dieguito’s search will be Kent Bechler, a retired superintendent with a 32-year career in education, and David Verdugo, a recently retired superintendent from Los Angeles with 43 years of experience in education. Bechler said he considers the firm’s work a way to continue making a contribution to public education, noting, “leadership really determines the success of the district.” “No one ever likes to lose a superintendent but appointing new leadership is an opportunity to move the district forward,” Bechler said. “And the district will attract good candidates.” On May 21, the board met immediately with Leadership Associates to begin the superintendent search for the right match and fit for San Dieguito, a process the consultants said would be rapid but comprehensive. The suggested timeline is for the consultants to meet with stakeholders and do an online survey in June on the key attributes, skills and qualities desired in a new superintendent. Leadership and Associates will advertise the position nationally and the deadline for applications will be Aug. 8. The firm will review and complete background checks on applicants

William F. ‘Bill’Watts May 11, 1923 - May 11, 2016
Del Mar — William F. “Bill”Watts passed away peacefully in his Del Mar, Calif., home on May 11, 2016, his 93rd birthday. His wife of 54 years, Helen, was at his side. Bill was born in Bethlehem, Penn., and as a child, the family moved to Burlingame, Calif., where he graduated from Burlingame High School. He attended USC for a short time before enlisting in the U.S. army air Corps. During his service in World War II, he was stationed near Norwich, england, as a B-17 bombardier, flying 28 missions over Germany. He was employed with Merrill lynch for over 35 years in their San Francisco and los angeles offices. Upon retirement, he and Helen moved to Del Mar to enjoy the beach and horse racing at the seaside track. Bill, along with Helen, was
an avid sports fan and world traveler, attending Olympic Games in Tokyo, Mexico City, Montreal, and los angeles. Survivors include a stepdaughter, Carol Paulick (ray); and two grandchildren, Chris Paulick and Meg Paulick, all of lexington, Ky. No services are scheduled.

The district also recognized Solana Vista School’s kindergartener Rihanna Durrett, first grader Dominik Mendoza Linares, second grader Bryan Espana and third grader Andrew Avila. Solana Highlands School’s kindergartener Asher Keating, first graders Benjamin and Brandon Katzke, second grader Ana Marina Maldonado Altilio and third grader Emma Tsukada earned awards.

and the board will conduct interviews throughout August. The tentative start date will be in September. No internal candidates are interested in the position, Superintendent Rick Schmitt said. Muir questioned Leadership Associates as well as all of the firms interviewed if they would be up front with candidates that SDUHSD has a split board (often decisions are made with 3-2 votes), that there is an election in November for two board seats and that there will not be a consensus on the hiring of a new superintendent as Salazar has stated. “It’s not a secret, it’s not something we would hide and it’s public information,” Bechler responded. “Candidates will know there’s a split board, that’s not as unusual as you think.” Board member Amy Herman said that it would be a shame if the board does not appoint a new superintendent with a consensus vote. Both she and President Beth Hergesheimer said they did not understand Salazar and Muir’s preference to wait until after the election as even if the board makeup were to change, the goal of any member would be to provide the best leadership that they can. “Mr. Salazar saying up front that he won’t do that job is not good boardsmanship and is disingenuous,” Hergesheimer said. She said while the board may be split, they do have a unity and purpose in that that all want the same end goal, to find the best superintendent — “Why can’t that be now?” Leadership Associates’ cost was the highest of the five firms interviewed and the board expressed a desire to work with them to lower the cost from $28,500 to the cost the firm charged in 2013 of $26,500. Kim and third grader Aiden Sykes received awards. Finally, Solana Ranch School’s kindergartener Amanda Ljung, first grader, Likhita Chava, second grader Angel Aguilar, third grader Amelia Knapp, fourth grader Olivia Stettner, fifth grader Matthew Quinn and sixth grader Jaden Mazzoni were recognized during the board meeting. Students walked onto Solana Pacific School’s theater with their teachers as their principals proudly explained why each student was selected to receive their award. “We couldn’t do the job we do without your support,” said Decker, who thanked parents and then staff. “Our staff is truly inspirational.”

FROM FENCE, A1 sewer, water and arterial paving capital project. In doing so, the city removed about 800 feet “mature landscape material” across from The Fish Market restaurant, Gary Reist, deputy general manager for the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Racetrack, explained during the May 24 board meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association. The 22nd DAA runs the state-owned fairgrounds. Along with an old chain-link fence topped with barbed wire at the base of the slope, the hedge provided an additional security measure for the horse stable area. “It literally exposed our backside,” Reist said. “We got a few cards, letters and phone calls. So in trying to keep and maintain our property safe, secure and beautiful, we embarked on a fence project and landscape project.” The fairgrounds originally proposed to install an 8-foot tall fence that would extend 2,030 linear feet west from Jimmy Durante Boulevard to the Solana Beach gate, with a 6-foot tall fence extending an additional 550 linear feet west of the gate. The fencing material would utilize dark green vinyl-coated chain-link with dark green privacy slats to provide a 95 percent privacy screen, according to the staff report. The proposed fencing would be topped with vertical barb arms and three strands of black vinyl-coated barbed wire. The council approved the request but required that it not exceed 6 feet in height above sidewalk elevation, not utilize any barbed wire in its design and be continuously screened by native or drought-tolerant vegetation. “We’ve created a new condition by putting a sidewalk on the south side of Via de la Valle, and so there is a public safety concern as well as the protection of the view of the horses, the property and the backside of the barns,” said Councilman Don Mosier at the May 16 council meeting. “It’s not the most beautiful fence, but I understand that it’s necessary to screen that property, and it does have a pubic safety benefit.”

Community celebrates River Path Del Mar extension completion BY KRISTINA HOUCK More than 200 community leaders and members celebrated the opening of the River Path Del Mar extension with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 21. The new trail gives people an up-close look at the San Dieguito Lagoon. “I think we can see by the size of the turnout here how important this project really is to all of us in this area,” San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts said. “This is about quality of life and about how we value our open space.” The extension project advanced the River Path east from Jimmy Durante Boulevard to the Old Grand Avenue Bridge, bringing the Loop Trail one step closer to a future connection at the Crest Canyon segment. River Path Del Mar previously only provided pedestrian access along the river’s south edge between the river mouth and Jimmy Durante Boulevard. “The project was designed to encourage recreational and educational experiences in the San Dieguito Lagoon habitat, and facilitates pedestrian movement outside of the San Dieguito Drive roadway,” Del Mar Mayor Sherryl Parks said. Although construction began in February and was completed in May, the path culminates after more than 25 years of concept support by the city’s San Dieguito Lagoon Committee. Del Mar’s 1976 Community Plan envisioned pedestrian access along the San Dieguito Lagoon and River, facilitated by the River Path segment of the Scenic Loop Trail — a seven-mile hiking trail around the city’s perimeter into seven key trail segments. “It’s beautiful,” said current committee member Dawn Rawls. “This city has done a wonderful job here.” “We’re lucky to have such a beautiful day to show it off,” added past committee member Freda Reid. The city completed the approximately $475,000 project in partnership with the San Dieguito River Valley

supported the project. “This was seriously a community project, and that’s why I say it is your project,” said Trish Boaz, executive director of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to sustaining the natural resources of the San Dieguito Watershed. “We hope that you enjoy it so much. Come out here, enjoy, reflect. We want you to get out there and just enjoy it.” Volunteers from the city, conservancy and REI removed trash and invasive plants prior to adding more than 150 new plants to the space. The project also added about 2,400 linear feet of decomposed granite path, 600 linear feet of concrete path, 0.36 acres of native plant restoration, scenic overlooks, picnic tables and benches. “This is truly an asset to San Diego County,” Roberts said. “This truly is a special place.” For more information, visit For more information: www.sdrp.org.

Bestselling author to discuss becoming a ‘conscious man’ Q&A BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ You’ve seen him on everything from Oprah to the Today Show. His books have owned the top of the New York Times bestseller list for years. Now, on Friday, June 3, San Diegans have a rare opportunity to meet and talk with John Gray at the Barnes & Noble Mira Mesa where he will be hosting a discussion of what it takes to become a conscious man – and how women can help the men in their lives become one. Arguably the best known relationship expert in the world, when Gray told readers “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus,” he clarified the reason why Author communication between John Gray the sexes is sometimes difficult. And with this and his subsequent books, he gave readers the tools needed to make that communication easier. Now, with “Consious Men,” Gray, together with Awakening Coach Arjuna Ardagh, provides 21st century men the tools they need to develop the 12 qualities of the “new masculinity.” In short, he gives men the means to exercise their natural masculinity while developing the skills to optimizes both personal and professional relationships. His answers to a few questions during a recent interview are below: What is a conscious man? A Conscious Man is not a slave to biology. He is aware of the balance between masculine and feminine energy within
himself, but the way that he lives with each is determined by awareness more than by automatic reactions to anything external. A Conscious Man has a sense of the vast variety of different roles he can enjoy in his life. He is aware of our history and how dramatically things have changed in the last decades. He responds to life not only as a duty to fulfill but also as an art to create. How can women best support their men in finding their sense of purpose? • Understand how important having a sense of purpose is to him. • Recognize his accomplishments – and let him know that you do so. • Offer encouragement. What practices enhance relationships most? • Presence. Let your presence communicate the sense of “I’m right here,” so she can feel it clearly whether you say it or not. Sometimes it helps to take a very small step forward towards your partner as she is telling you what she is feeling. • Listening. Because men are identified with action and accomplishment, they think that providing a solution is the most tangible measurement of love. But remember: she releases oxytocin when she can speak freely about her feelings, without necessarily needing a solution. • Trust. It is normal to be attracted to other women. Be honest about that. And reassure your partner that you have not acted on the attraction. • Recreate polarization. These days, with so many partners handling the same tasks, the lines between male and female blur. As sexual identity wanes, so does attraction. So SEE AUTHOR, B15

Avoid El Niño Car Breakdowns with a Spring Cleaning Car Checkup Spring is the time to thank your hardworking vehicle for a great performance over the winter by doing a maintenance overhaul. There are several things you can do yourself and with the help of a mechanic to ensure that your vehicle is prepared for top performance this spring and summer. Use the following tips to manage your
vehicle effectively and avoid accidents and expensive maintenance concerns down the road. Fluid Levels Keep an eye on your brake fluid, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, engine oil and transmission fluid. It’s a good idea to consider a brake fluid flush as well to make sure your brakes are working in top condition. Wires, Plugs and Batteries Anything older than three years old should be replaced as should any weak wires, plugs or batteries. Hoses and Belts If your belts are soft, brittle, cracked or worn, consider replacing them. Anything older than five years old should also be replaced.
Tire Pressure Make sure that all of your vehicle’s tires, including the spare, are properly balanced and inflated. Making this a habit will decrease the chances that you’ll find yourself on the side of the road with a flat tire. Brakes A brake pad change and an inspection for the brake system can work miracles for your San Diego vehicle. This is especially true if heavy rains are anticipated, because you’ll rely on the braking system performing at 100%. Engine Filter It’s a good time to replace your engine filter as you head into the spring, as it’s likely that there has been a lot of build up over the winter months.
Wheel Alignment and Suspension Any time you hit major potholes, you can do significant damage to your struts and shocks. Make sure you ask your mechanic to conduct an inspection to avoid bigger and more expensive problems down the road.

Casa Palmera cares for people from around the world For more than a decade, Casa Palmera has cared for people from around the United States, as well as outside the U.S. According to Chief Executive Officer Barbara Woods, Casa Palmera is the result of the vision of the owner, Dr. Lee Johnson. It was his vision and his passion to be able to give back to the community by providing a service that was not available at the time. Founded in June 2005, Casa Palmera provides treatment to individuals and their family members suffering from eating disorders, mood disorders, substance abuse and emotional trauma to include ptsd. The 37,800-square-foot facility, which is licensed for 93 beds, had previously functioned as a skilled nursing facility for approximately 20 years. Today, Casa Palmera enjoys a reputation in the health care industry for treating individuals suffering from co-occurring disorders on a national basis. The addiction treatment program is
information gathering process. During the first week of treatment, the patient works with his or her treating physician and clinician to develop a personalized treatment plan. “They will set goals and objectives,” Woods added. “Part of that is going to be what they want to accomplish while they are in treatment, how long they anticipate being in treatment and what they will continue to work on in outpatient treatment or aftercare after they discharge. Patients are asked to commit to a minimum treatment stay of 30 days, if possible, since research shows that longer length of stay supports better outcomes; however, length of stay is variable and voluntary. The average length of stay is 40-45 days. Additionally, Casa Palmera offers a full continuum of care to include residential, partial hospital or day treatment from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; intensive outpatient day or evening for three hours a day, and SEE PALMERA, B15

‘Experience is everything’ for Rancho Santa Fe Insurance With decades of experience in the personal insurance industry, Rancho Santa Fe Insurance has not only become a staple in the community, but its staff has established a strong presence in the region. Most of the employees of Rancho Santa Fe Insurance have been with the local business for more than a decade. “Experience is everything,” said Vanessa Snodgrass, who joined the company as a secretary in 1999 and now serves as its chief operating officer. “The longevity of the staff that’s here and the lack of turnaround, I think, is one of our advantages.” When owner Craig Edwards opened his company, Rancho Santa Fe Insurance, 30 years ago, he specialized in equine insurance. He previously trained and sold thoroughbred horses in Seattle. After staying at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in the early 1980s, however, he fell in the love with community and relocated to the Ranch. Edwards started his company in 1986, working as a bloodstock agent, insuring and selling horses for clients in the U.S. and overseas. At the suggestion of friends, Edwards also began to offer personal insurance. “And he’s been doing it ever since,”

Snodgrass said. Rancho Santa Fe Insurance quickly grew, and Edwards eventually expanded the company’s product offerings. Today, Rancho Santa Fe Insurance specializes in personal, health and life insurance, as well as homeowners, automobile, yacht and watercraft, aircraft, collections, umbrella, earthquake, flood, course of construction,

travel and medical, and kidnap and ransom policies. “We’re really specialized in what we do,” Snodgrass said. “What we do really is important. If we don’t do it right, there’s going to be a big problem for somebody.” Because Rancho Santa Fe Insurance acts as an independent broker, staff is able shop for the best coverage at a competitive price without the limitations sometimes imposed by individual insurance companies. “We act as an advocate for our clients,” Snodgrass said. “We have really good relationships and a long history with a lot of these carriers, so we advocate for our clients when they need something.” Although the company established its roots in Rancho Santa Fe, booming business led to more branches, with the first opening in Palm Desert in 2003. Offices in Newport Beach and La Jolla followed. A branch opened in Beverly Hills last year. “It’s really exciting to be a part of it. I have learned so much,” Snodgrass said. “It’s not just watching the success of the owner. It’s all of our successes. And he’s always very clear about that. Whatever is good that’s happening in our business is because of what we’re all doing together.” In addition to Snodgrass, the Rancho Santa
Fe office has also been home to certified insurance service representatives, Anita Gentry, for 20 years, and Lisa M. Hill for 15 years, as well as executive administrator, Laura Rodriquez, for 15 years. Nancy Wright, who currently heads the Fallbrook satellite office and also manages the horse insurance product lines for Rancho Santa Fe Insurance, has worked for the company for 14 years. Don Dvorak, who has also worked for the company for 14 years, currently serves as life and health insurance specialist. Other staff members include Jodie Quintal, who has been with the company for 10 years, Stephanie Moskowitz, who joined the team seven years ago, and Dale Sodergren, the most recent addition to the team. Sodergren was hired in 2013 and immediately obtained his certified insurance service representative designation. All staff members are San Diego natives. “We’re like a family here,” Snodgrass said. “Craig built this team that really can’t be replicated. We are successful because we are not only good at what we do, but we care about what we do and our clients know that.” For more about Rancho Santa Fe Insurance, call 858-756-4444 or visit www.rsfinsurance.com.

Torrey Pines High School Jazz Band members at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
Torrey Pines High School Jazz Band flies to New Orleans festival The Torrey Pines High School Jazz Band, under the direction of Amy Gelb, recently flew to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (JHF) in Louisiana. JHF, one of the largest jazz festivals in the world, was started in 1970 and grows every year. The musicians from the TPHS Jazz Band met on April 21 at the San Diego International Airport. After a layover in St. Louis, the group of 20 touched down in Louisiana. The next day, the jazz festival began, promptly at 11 a.m. and masses of people, the TPHS musicians among them, were released into the
fairgrounds. Throughout the festival are 12 stages, each featuring different styles and branches of jazz. Students from Torrey Pines High School split off and rushed to different stages, some had planned out extensive schedules for themselves, fitting in every band possible, others hopped from tent to tent. Every performance outshined the last. “It was amazing how every performer had their own style, whether it be sax, drums, or a capella, they were all spectacular!”said Luke Jung.

FROM PRESS REPORTS With the evolution of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, anti-aging has become a multi-faceted and multi-staged approach for all generations (and also important to note for more and more men). It used to be that intervention typically did not occur until Dr. Scott surgical procedures were Barttelbort indicated. Today with more resources readily available, patients are now becoming proactive in warding off the signs of aging with non-surgical preventative measures and “maintenance” procedures. These include
treatments such as facial injectables, laser technologies, and advanced skincare. These modalities are being adopted into even the younger generation’s regimens and are playing an important role in not only creating a more rejuvenated look, but additionally a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Of course surgery continues to hold a key role in facial rejuvenation. When done properly, surgery can make a remarkable difference without creating a “surgical” appearance. Dr. Scott Barttelbort offers a variety of facelift techniques that he tailors for each individual patient. Whether it is a mini-facelift, a short-scar technique, a full-correction facelift, or an endoscopic approach, these can all be done in a natural yet effective way. Together, surgical and non-surgical procedures can have a synergistic SEE DOCTOR, B13

Eating my way through Parma: An Italian Food Series
A
truffle hunting we will go! Thanks to the gracious hospitality of the Italian Trade Agency, I traipsed through the historic cobblestone streets and bucolic hills of Parma, the gastronomic capital of Italy and beyond. Our intimate group of food writers visited such traditional sights as a family-owned Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, and a charcuterie museum and production house. Then I scouted out the best booths at the CIBUS International Food Show where I treated myself to many fine delights from balsamic vinegar “caviar” and paper-thin prosciutto ham to sweet, silky cappuccino and pistachio pates, and melt-in-your-mouth buffalo mozzarella balls from pristine pastures of Naples. Pastas in every imaginable form and shape, including gluten-free and kosher, olive oil that resembled fluid gold, diminutive ruby red tomatoes sweeter than tutti frutti, and lactose-free, hand-crafted gelato that went down real nicely (even after three servings). But the food that ignited my romantic culinary spirit was the noble truffle (not to be confused with the chocolate truffle) called “tartufi” in these parts. Revered as the “fruit of the gods,” this freak of the mycological world has been elevated to precious food jewel coveted by fine chefs and refined palates throughout the world. My fascination with this elite woodsy gem pulled me in to the booth of Savini Tartufi. Fourth generation purveyors of truffles, Cristiano Savini was delighted to share his family story, passion for the fruit, and some trivia of the trade. Here’s the fanciful truffle journey from forest to table: A treasure of the soil called diamante di foresta, “the forest diamond,” has a life cycle entirely underground, earning the name “hypogeum mushroom.” The ancient Greeks and Romans were mystified by the miraculous formation of these subterranean fungi. Having a symbiotic relationship with tree roots and soil spores naturalists surmised that these botanical anomalies were created by Zeus-like powers of lightning and thunder. The Romans named the swollen earthy fruit a “tuber,” and many authors, including Aristotle praised the mysterious fungi for its aphrodisiacal qualities and culinary uses. The fungal fascination continues today to the tune of $1,200 an ounce, depending upon the truffle variety. The high pricetag is attributed to the rarity of this wild delicacy that has to be unearthed during a hunting expedition using a specially trained truffling dog which is able to snuff out aromatics reminiscent of honey, garlic and clean, fresh earthy notes. Originally, the truffle had been snorted out by the pig — a natural truffle hunter. But, according to Flavia Lupi, Export Representative with Savini Tartufi, “Hogs have been replaced by dogs, since the pigs eat the precious truffles.” Truffle hunters take their dogs out in the dead of night to keep their sites secret from rival hunters. With a pointing stick and flashlight they share a harmonious passion and

Sorry, Mr. Pig. But, your truffle-hunting duties have gone to the dogs! purpose. While there are more than 100 varieties, not all truffles are created equal. The highly prized white truffle, botanically called tuber magnatum pico from the Alba region, has a ripening season from mid-September to December. This rare beauty is known for its smooth skin (peridium), pale colors ranging from yellow to ochre, and distinctive aroma. While the delicate scented black truffle (tuber melanosporum vitt), from a region near Umbria, has a dark purplish tinge and warty covering. This fruit barely grows larger than an orange, while its white counterpart can reach behemoth proportions, like the one discovered in 2007 by Cristiano Savini in the woods near Palaia, Province of Pisa earning a page in the “Guinness Book of World Records.” Weighing 1.497 grams, it is still classified as the world’s largest white truffle that fetched $330,000 at auction, the proceeds donated to charity. Savini relives the rapture of the moment when, “we hugged, we cried, we screamed. That gigantic truffle still covered in dirt looked like a mirage and smelt like a dream.” Truffles, whether prized white or black, raw, dried or its essence infused in oil, enliven appetizers, sides or main dishes, from bruschettas, pizzas, risottos, eggs, fish and seafood to cheeses, soufflés, fondues, roasted vegetables, and even French fries. If you ever visit the Tuscan truffle territory, the Savini dogs would be happy to guide you through the woods on a quest for the fabulous fungi, then take you to their cooking school where you can taste the fruits of your labor.

FROM BAND, B7 music did not stop there, the TPHS musicians filed out, onward to explore the French Quarter. Jazz bands were seen around every corner along with smaller street combos. However, after 96 hours of New Orleans jazz, the group returned to San Diego, landing on Sunday night. The Jazz Band’s conductor, Amy Gelb, noted that “It’s a great experience for the students to be exposed to such amazing music, after our trips everyone comes back to rehearsals with new inspiration and motivation.” Will Nute, tenor saxophonist in the TPHS Jazz Band, said that “It was amazing to immerse ourselves in the complete opposite of San Diego and develop a greater understanding of the traditions of jazz.” The TPHS Jazz Band has been going to New Orleans consistently every two years. Next on the Torrey Pines Music Department roster was the Falcon Finale on May 23. The end-of-the-year concert featured all five of the TPHS musical ensembles: Choir, Intermediate Orchestra, Advanced Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band.
