Rancho Valencia Resort prevails in noise lawsuit filed by neighbors BY JOE TASH A Superior Court judge has rejected the central claims of a couple who filed a lawsuit against the upscale Rancho Valencia Resort in 2012, contending that the resort violated county noise ordinances when it held weddings and other events on its property. Judge William S. Dato issued a 26page decision on Feb. 2, outlining his reasons for ruling against Linda and Angel Mendez in their request for a permanent injunction that would have barred the resort from holding certain events on its Croquet Lawn, which is about 600 feet from the Mendezes’ home. The resort is located at 5921 Valencia Circle in Rancho Santa Fe. The couple had claimed in their lawsuit that music and amplified voices from events at the resort disturbed their peace and quiet and constituted a nuisance. They also said that noise from the events exceeded limits spelled out in county regulations.

In his ruling, Dato rejected the Mendezes’ contention that the resort violated noise limits established by the county. He also observed that the couple had elected not to pursue other avenues to resolve the noise dispute, such as county administrative procedures or working with the resort’s owners along with other homeowners in their neighborhood. “By filing this lawsuit and taking the matter to trial, plaintiffs (the Mendezes) effectively drew a line in the sand,” the judge wrote. “But forced to choose, the Court concludes that the noise in this case is not so substantial and unreasonable as to fall on the side of the line that would require issuance of the injunction sought by plaintiffs.” The ruling followed a two-week, nonjury trial presided over by Dato from Sept. 22 through Oct. 7 of last year. Along with considering testimony, including that of sound experts hired by both sides, Dato

BY KAREN BILLING The question of whether the San Dieguito Union High School District’s high school enrollment study group meetings should be open to the public came up during the board’s Feb. 5 meeting. A column by Marsha Sutton in this newspaper challenged the legality of the group’s process and sparked concerns among trustees Maureen “Mo” Muir and John Salazar, who said he was “disappointed in the district.” The high school enrollment study group has been working since November to explore the district’s options after several parents opposed the high school lottery enrollment process at San Dieguito High School Academy

RSF Association Board Biz: We need you to listen, comment and vote! BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD Over the next two weeks, two committees will be finalizing their reports on the big projects they have studied over the last year. The committee reports and recommendations will be presented to the RSF Association board in open session on March 5. This will be your opportunity not just to hear about the issues, but also to share your opinions and concerns with the members of your RSF Association board. • Traffic Control: First, the board will hear the report from the Intersection Study Committee. The outcome of this discussion will determine the future of the intersections along Paseo Delicias, heading east toward Del Dios Highway. The complex issue has brought three options for consideration: 1) install roundabouts, 2) install stoplights, or 3) “do nothing.” The issue has been debated for more than 10 years now. This committee, formed two years ago, is the latest group to study the different options.

Ann Boon About three years ago, the County of San Diego completed work on an Environmental Impact Report in which alternative types of intersection controls such as traffic signals and roundabouts were analyzed. The EIR presented a design for the roundabouts and how they would perform as compared to traffic signals. However, the EIR did not contain specific designs for traffic signals at the three intersections. In February 2013, the RSF Association board held a public meeting on the question of various traffic control mechanisms and the respective impacts on adjacent properties, community character, and the overall aesthetic of the intersection. In response to member comments, the board directed staff to work with the County

and to solicit proposals for the design of traffic signals at each of the three intersections. The board also established an Intersection Study Committee to work with staff and the engineering consultant to evaluate the designs for traffic signals. The County agreed to temporarily delay action on the EIR, until the Association had an opportunity to offer its input. The committee, ably led by RSF Association board member Rochelle Putnam, has done a thorough study. Board members know that many of you feel that this issue has been studied enough over the years and that it is time to make a decision and move forward. On March 5, we will hear the findings of the ISC. • Broadband/fiber: Second, and perhaps more exciting to many of you, the board will be hearing a report on the feasibility and possible funding models for building a fiber-optic network throughout the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe. The Technology Committee and members of staff have met with the Multiple System Operators, e.g., AT&T, Time Warner, Cox and others. In addition, a

group of Covenant members generously pooled their resources and hired an independent consultant, Magellan Advisors, to give us an unbiased assessment of the feasibility of building our own fiber-optic network throughout the Covenant. Such a network would provide at minimum 1-gigabit speed all the way to each home. If we owned our own network, we would be able to have the MSOs and content providers compete for our business and use of our network. This would mean revenue to the Association. Ideally, provider competition would allow individual homeowners to decide what services they want. Owning our own fiber infrastructure would also allow

us to accommodate any next-generation services that require much higher bandwidths. These technologies are already coming to market. On March 5, the Technology Committee will be reporting on the findings of the Magellan study and give their “next step” recommendations. It should be a fascinating report. • Register to vote: Last, but definitely not least, we have a board election coming up this spring as usual. On March 16, the nominations for board candidates for this election will close. We already have several very-well-qualified candidates who have volunteered to run. The Nominating

Committee appreciates these members’ willingness to give their time to work on the Association board. It is just as important for you to do your part by voting. Ballots will be mailed out May 14, 2015. You must be registered to vote by May 1, or you will not receive a ballot. If you are not sure whether or not you are registered, please email daria@rsfassociation.org to find out. If you are not registered, Daria will help you get registered right away. Whether your home in the Covenant is your fulltime residence or a vacation retreat, please make your voice heard by voting! ann.boon@me.com

Parents defend Scout leader on troop’s trek to ‘nude beach’ BY JOEL HOFFMANN, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW Other Cub Scout parents who attended a nature hike that ventured into nudist territory along Torrey Pines State Beach have signed a letter challenging one woman’s explosive account of the incident. Parent Diane Lekven’s version of events has been picked up nationally, from USA Today and Time to MTV News. The other seven parents on the hike declined to speak on the record, but U-T San Diego has obtained a letter they collaborated on denying some basics of the original account from Lekven, which was critical of Desmond Wheatley, a leader of Rancho Santa Fe Pack 766. The U-T was able to verify the identities of at least two of the parents who agreed to the letter. The parents especially objected to Lekven’s suggestion that Wheatley intended to lead the boys to nudist territory, as opposed to the incursion being inadvertent. Here’s what the parents wrote: “This statement has been unanimously approved by all seven parents who attended the hike, with the sole exception of Ms. Lekven and her husband. We have observed Ms. Lekven’s account of the hike in question with increasing bewilderment and concern and feel compelled to set the record straight. We wish to make the following clear: “We have had — and continue to have — the highest regard for Mr. Wheatley’s in-

tegrity, leadership and his impeccable character. “We believe that the group’s response to the completely unexpected situation that arose was timely, responsible and prudent, and that it followed relevant BSA (Boy Scouts of America) protocols. “We wish to make it clear that none of us share Ms. Lekven’s or her husband’s unique interpretation or recollection of that day’s events. “We have shared our views with the BSA and wish to acknowledge its swift and thorough review of this issue.� Lekven used Facebook to message her version of the Jan. 24 events to U-T San Diego on Jan. 31. She has not replied to the U-T, which has made several attempts to reach her for an interview. She has been quoted by other media. Here is her original account to the U-T of the hike to Black’s Beach: “Apparently official Boy Scout policy supports the idea that a Cub Scout pack leader can take a group of 9 and 10 year old cub scouts on a hike that passes through a nudist beach that has hundreds of nudists! Last weekend, Jan 24th, our patrol cub master Desmond Wheatley in San Diego planned a hike through Black’s Beach, an LGBT nudist beach, without the consent of the cub’s parents. “Even though the parents went on the hike it was never disclosed that his intenSee PARENTS, page 22

Detectives seek SD help in Spokane death BY KAREN KUCHER AND PAULINE REPARD, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW Spokane County detectives are asking the public for help as they investigate the death of a 61-year-old nanny who lived in San Diego County before her body was found in the Spokane River more than a year ago. The woman, Maria Guadalupe Vega, had lived in Oceanside and Encinitas and last worked as a nanny in Rancho Santa Fe, officials said. A Mexican Maria citizen, she traveled on Guadalupe Vega a tourist visa back and forth to Tijuana for several years, and she also went by the name Rosalba Robayo Blanco. Detectives with the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office are trying to locate friends and associates of Vega and hope to find out more about why she had traveled to the Spokane area in late 2013.

Her body was found, fully clothed, in the Spokane River on Jan. 10, 2014, Spokane County sheriff’s Detective Justin Elliott said. The medical examiner’s office determined she drowned, maybe a month before she was found, Elliott said. People have told investigators that Vega didn’t know how to swim. “We are treating it as a homicide investigation,� Elliott said. “There is no indication that she was suicidal, that it was intentional, but we can’t rule that out.� Last summer, investigators ran Vega’s fingerprints through databases and eventually got a match to the two names. A Rancho Sante Fe couple for whom Vega had worked as a nanny called detectives on Jan. 1. They had looked online for any account of Vega and found the Spokane sheriff’s information about the identity of a drowning victim. They told investigators they hadn’t heard from her since Dec. 11, 2013 after she told them was going to Mexico to handle some things, and would return. The family gave other information, including the type of car she had been driving, Elliott said. See SPOKANE, page 15

Overton said he is in the process of working on a plan for finding a replacement. He said the Association plans to be very diligent in its efforts. — Karen Billing

Trail blazing in Rancho Santa Fe: Duo working on updating RSF Association’s maps BY KAREN BILLING One of Rancho Santa Fe’s most enviable amenities is its trail system, an exclusive path through the community with everything from golf course views to peaceful forested areas. The Rancho Santa Fe Trails and Recreation Committee has taken on the arduous task of updating all of the trail maps and easement holders. To complete the time-consuming project, Barbara Kruer, chair of the trails and recreation committee, enlisted the help of Lisa Bartlett, who has been riding the Ranch’s trails since she was 16 years old. “I care passionately about the trails, so I understood that this was a very large project, but I am happy to do it,” Bartlett said. “It’s wonderful to work with Barbara because she is willing to put in the time that the project needs.” Kruer said she is just as grateful to have Bartlett’s wealth of knowledge. “She knows every trail here, she used to ride all of these trails bareback,” Kruer said, complimenting Bartlett’s skills as an equestrian. Bartlett recalled her days as a teenager, riding the trails when there were no fences and few houses — just miles of open space and groves of fruit trees. “I was lucky to be here in those days,” Bartlett said, remembering rides all the way to the ocean and out to Fairbanks Ranch area when there was not yet any development. “It was a wonderful experience then, to go wherever you wanted whenever you wanted. The only unspoken rule was, if you broke a sprinkler head you were asked to notify the property owner or fix it yourself.” Kruer and Bartlett, who have ridden to-

gether for 15 years, have been meeting up since January on the “Herculean task,” working on the maps as well as developing potential upgrades and further encroachment permits. The system has been reported to be anywhere from 35 to 55 miles long, so part of that task is reviewing exactly what the Association has and then having the capable trails committee figure out how to protect it. For the most part, Kruer and Bartlett are poring over maps in the Association office’s conference room. But last week, the pair were able to hit the trails on their horses, riding on a beautifully warm February day on the Via de Fortuna portion, shaded by trees and perfumed by orange groves. “This is a part of the trail that is very well traveled by a lot of Covenant residents, from joggers to people walking their dogs and horseback riders,” Kruer said. Kruer said the diversity of trail users was illustrated just by the two of them and their horses. Kruer was riding on Snickers, a hunter/jumper horse who trains with Hap Hansen, a real “Rancho Santa Fe horse” who lives a spoiled life at the Osuna Ranch. Bartlett rode Western-style on Amber, who lives in her stable just up the trail on Bartlett’s mother’s property. Kruer said a wide variety of horseback riders take advantage of the trail system from dressage to casual riders. As Bartlett explained, there are four different types of trails in the Covenant: Association-owned “hub” trails, like those around the golf course; permanent easement trails that have been generously dedicated to the Association; revocable easement trails that have been dedicated by owners but can

Barbara Kruer and Lisa Bartlett (on Snickers and Amber) ride the Rancho Santa Fe trails. Photos by Karen Billing be rescinded by a subsequent property owner; and trails in use, which means they aren’t permanent or revocable easements but have “graciously” been made available to users by homeowners. Kruer said rules of the trail to be remembered are that dogs should always be leashed and that equestrians See MAPS, page 22

SB school district may back dropping Del Mar Fairgrounds expects to net more than $1 million from music festival personal-belief exemption for vaccines BY JOE TASH A three-day music, wine and gourmet food festival, planned for Sept. 18-20 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, is expected to generate more than $1 million in revenue for the agency that operates the state-owned facility. In addition, the KAABOO Festival will provide an economic boost for local hotels, restaurants and other businesses, said Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the 22nd District Agricultural Association. The 22nd DAA board approved a $1.95 million contract with Horse Power Entertainment LLC, the festival’s organizer, at its meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 10. Fennell said that after expenses for security and other services, the district’s net revenue from food and beverage sales, parking and other sources should total more than $1 million. Fennell said some 100,000 people are expected to attend the three-day event, making it the third largest in California after the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals. An announcement of the lineup of musical performers will be made on Feb. 23, according to the festival’s web site. An email to festival organizers seeking comment was not returned by press time. The inaugural KAABOO Festival had been planned for 2014, but was postponed until this year. A 22nd DAA board member said Feb. 10 that organizers could seek to expand the festival to two weekends in 2016.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK In response to a measles outbreak that started in Southern California, the Solana Beach School District is considering supporting legislation that would require children to be fully vaccinated before going to school. The Solana Beach School District includes Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe. “With this measles outbreak, there’s a huge issue with vaccinations,” board member Richard Leib said at the Feb. 11 meeting. “Personally, I find it very important that we support legislation to repeal the personal exemption.” California is one of 19 states that allows parents to opt their children out of vaccines because of personal beliefs. The recent measles outbreak, however, has prompted state lawmakers to propose eliminating the personal belief exemption in California. Since the outbreak began in December in at Disneyland, 113 people have reportedly been infected with the disease. Having been around since the 1960s, the exemption isn’t new, but the number of parents taking the exemption has increased in recent years. At the same time, the state has aimed to reduce the number of exemptions. A new California law, which took effect last year, requires all parents seeking the exemption to first talk with a medical professional. Leib said he plans to introduce a resolution supporting the legislation at the board’s next meeting on March 12. “I feel really, really strongly about the immunization issue, so we should have a nice conversation when we bring that forward,” said board vice president Debra Schade, who holds a doctorate in public health education and promotion. “I think people now don’t realize the devastation that happened, why we’re immunizing children and why it’s an important public health issue.”

BY JOE TASH The agency that operates the stateowned Del Mar Fairgrounds expects to spend $70,000 to $75,000 on a program to reward its employees for their hard work under a proposal approved unanimously Tuesday, Feb. 10, by the agency’s board of directors. Under the Superior Accomplishment Award Program, each of the agency’s 172 permanent employees is eligible to receive a gift card worth up to $500 for his or her work at the fairgrounds in 2014. The program is the same one suspended in 2012, when officials with the California Department of Food and Agriculture said they were concerned the awards did not comply with state regulations. But Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the fairgrounds, said the situation has changed since 2012. “There was a sensitivity because of the financial challenges the state was facing. Now the governor has us back on track,” Fennell said. In a report to the board, Fennell pointed to the district’s financial performance as justification for the award program. In 2014, he said, the district had revenue of just under $70 million, plus another $30 million or more from horse racing income. The district’s net revenue last year, or revenue over expenses, was $2.09 million, or $1.4 million over budget. That success, he said, is due to the work of fairgrounds staff. “You won’t find another fairgrounds in California or possibly North America that can claim (those results),” Fennell said. “You treat people fair and square and recognize their efforts and they will give you 110 percent.” While managers will decide which employees will receive the gift cards, which will

be for gasoline or retail stores, Fennell said he expects most of the district’s eligible workers to get the full amount. Neither Fennell nor deputy GM Becky Bartling is eligible for the awards. Fennell will write a letter to the CDFA officials to let them know about the board’s action, and asking them to let the 22nd DAA know of any objections. “It’s not going to be a situation where we ask forgiveness, we’re going to be asking for permission,” said Fred Schenk, the board’s president, in an interview before the meeting. But Schenk said he believes employees deserve the acknowledgment of their work. “We view this as an opportunity to express our appreciation in a nominal way,” Schenk said. “For reaching beyond the goals we set for them.” In an email, Steve Lyle, a spokesman for CDFA, said Feb. 10 the agency didn’t have enough information about the proposal to respond to a reporter’s inquiry about it. According to Fennell’s report, the 22nd DAA received approval of the program from CDFA in 1998, and the program was in place from 1999 through 2007. No awards were given in 2008 due to the Great Recession and a steep decline in revenue at the 22nd DAA. The program resumed in 2009 and 2010, but was suspended for two years in early 2012 at the request of CDFA. The 22nd DAA board approved a resumption of the program in 2014, based on the district’s financial performance in 2013. Although the district notified the CDFA, the district did not receive any objections last year, 22nd DAA officials said. Fennell told the board he hopes to distribute this year’s awards to employees within the next 30 days, pending a response from the CDFA.

RSF Association honors longtime employee Olimpio Rodriguez BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association honored longtime parks and recreation employee Olimpio Rodriguez, who is retiring after 32 years of service to the community. At the Association’s Feb. 5 meeting, Field Operations Manager Arnold Keene said he remembers his first day 12 years ago when Rodriguez popped out from behind a tree and greeted him with a warm hello. He said Rodriguez has always been that way, coming to work on top of his game and influencing everyone around him to work harder to make a better community for everyone. “I’ve never seen him have a bad day,” Keene said. “He is loved by everyone that knows him.” With his daughter Alma translating for him, Rodriguez thanked the Association for the opportunity. “He is really grateful and thankful for all the years he’s been a part of the Association,”

Rodriguez said. “He is grateful to have had an amazing job and pleased he was able to take care of my mom and be able to give her a great life.” Rodriguez’s wife passed away last month, and Rodriguez that said thanks to the insurance provided by the Association, he believes his family was able to have an extra three years with her. The Association board gave Rodriguez a framed proclamation and a watch at its Feb. 5 meeting. It also hosted a barbecue lunch on Friday, Feb. 13, at the parks and recreation office attended by Rodriguez’s family and many Association staff members, including RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser, who has become good friends with Rodriguez after working alongside him for 32 of his 35 years in the Association. “He loved it here,” said his youngest daughter, Marcela. “He felt like he was a part of a family.”

TPHS baseball coach lands plum position with LA Dodgers BY ROB LEDONNE The Los Angeles Dodgers, one of the most well-known and celebrated teams in sports, now has a Torrey Pines High School coach among its ranks. Ryan Sienko, the former head coach of the school’s varsity baseball program and a longtime veteran of the North County baseball scene, has left his post at Torrey Pines to accept a position as an assistant catching coordinator for the storied MLB team. “People who know me best know that this is what I’ve always wanted to do,� said Sienko, who’s in the midst of an already busy workload. “I feel very fortunate.� Sienko’s hiring is the latest in a string of baseball milestones for the Poway resident, ranging from playing minor league ball, to coaching, and then becoming a catching expert. “I was a catcher when I played,� he noted of his time with the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers minor league teams from 1997 to 2004. “I was very lucky to be mentored Ryan Sienko is leaving Torby a lot of guys throughout the years who taught me quite a rey Pines to become assisbit about the position, from how to handle yourself as a pro- tant catching coordinator fessional to tips on how to conserve your energy. The help for the LA Dodgers. I’ve gotten has been very invaluable to me.� Courtesy photo The Hyatt Hotel in downtown San Diego is where Sienko’s hiring started to take shape. “I was introduced to Gabe Kapler, who is the director of player development for the Dodgers,� explained Sienko. “We had an eight-minute conversation in the hallway of the Hyatt, where he asked me some questions and mentioned that a coaching spot was available.� From there, Sienko put together an extensive PowerPoint slideshow that detailed his thoughts on the art of catching and the game of baseball, and the powers that be within the Dodgers organization liked what they saw. For the position, Sienko will be on the road about 20 days every month, with the remaining time spent working from home. “I’m what’s called a ‘rover,’� he explained. “I’ll spend a lot of time with the team in Rancho Cucamonga and Arizona, and will constantly check in and follow their progress. I’ll make sure their receiving numbers and catching core are where they need to be, and help develop them as ballplayers.� Despite such a coup, Sienko said the worst part about his new position is no longer being able to coach for Torrey Pines. “It will be difficult,� he said of stepping away from the team. “I’m going to make sure

that I catch as many games as I can. We have a very professional-style philosophy. Everyone has invested a lot of time into the players, and that’s the bittersweet part about all of this.� Before coming to Torrey Pines, Sienko had a five-year stint as head coach for Canyon Crest Academy. Sienko says he feels thankful for the opportunity with the Dodgers and has heard congratulations from everyone from current

and former students to old friends in the minor league. “I’ve gotten well wishes from everybody around here, across the country, and back in my hometown.� For now, Sienko is getting ready to hit the road. Spring training for the Dodgers begins March 4 in Glendale, Ariz., and the regular season begins at Los Angeles’ Dodgers Stadium on April 4.

Grauer teacher part of historic 1965 Alabama march with King BY KRISTINA HOUCK When students at The Grauer School in Encinitas learn about the civil rights movement, they don’t just read their textbooks for a history lesson. They talk to teacher Bill Harman. Harman was 25 on March 25, 1965, when he walked the last 10 miles from Selma to the Alabama state capital of Montgomery, following the footsteps of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was among hundreds of white clergy who traveled to Alabama for the historic march. “It was very much a clergy-led movement,� said Harman. “King was a pastor, and everybody connected with that. Christians and Jews, Protestants and Catholics — they were all involved.� A little more than two weeks earlier, Harman, like many Americans, had watched news reports from March 7, 1965, or “Bloody Sunday,� when white law enforcement officers brutally attacked peaceful protesters who wanted to exercise their constitutional right to vote. At the time, Harman had graduated from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, and was attending the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. Inspired by another student who participated in the following march on March 9 called “Turnaround Tuesday,� Harman recruited five fellow students to join him in the third march. The 54-mile march to the state capitol began March 21 in Selma. “I was a little bit frightened — we all were. We didn’t know what was going to happen,� Harman recalled. “But justice had to be done. The injustice had gone on far too long.� With faith, Harman faced his fears and

took a train with his peers from Chicago to Montgomery. While aboard, they were harassed by other passengers and called “Yankee trash.� “We just had to ignore them,� said Harman, noting he was dressed in his clerical collar. The group joined the march on March 25 about 10 miles outside of Montgomery. By the time they reached the state capitol building, there were about 25,000 marchers, Harman recalled. “In those years, considering the U.S. was half the size it is now, that was a big march,� Harman said. “It was impressive to see so many people.� The 50th anniversary of the historic Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march is next month. President Barack Obama and other officials are expected to commemorate the occasion, which will include stops in Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery from March 6-8. Although it’s been five decades, Harman described the details as if it were yesterday. “We were marching for justice,� he said. “We were marching for change. We knew we were right, and we knew the Southern culture was wrong. It had to be changed.� Harman recalled those in opposition lining the streets, holding Confederate flags and spitting on the marchers. Alabama Gov. George Wallace, who is remembered for his Southern populist and segregationist views, was also unwelcoming. In addition, Harman recollected marching alongside the late Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a leader in the civil rights movement who was among the front row of marchers with King. And, of course, he viv-

Bill Harman at rear left in the Selma train station. Courtesy photo idly remembered King’s speech “How Long, Not Long.� “We were all in solidarity,� said Harman, who later joined Cesar Chavez in the historic farm workers’ march from Delano to the California state capitol in Sacramento. Now 75, Harman has two adult sons and four grandchildren. He works as a teacher ambassador at The Grauer School, where he’s taught for about 12 years. He is also a

chaplain for palliative care at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. For 40 years, Harman was a pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. He served as pastor of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Encinitas for 25 years until retiring about nine years ago. In recent years, Harman and his family visited the Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta. His grandchildren toured an exhibition about Jim Crow laws, amazed at how much the country has changed. Like the students at The Grauer School, they asked their grandfather questions about his first-hand experience walking with King and thousands of others in the last of the Selma-to-Montgomery marches, which led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, landmark legislation that prohibited racial discrimination in voting. “A lot has changed in 50 years, especially in the South,� Harman said. “It was an important turning point in our society. I think we did make the world a better place.�

Taylor, a Torrey Pines High School graduate, has also been featured on Comedy Central, “The Late Late Show,” MTV, and “Last Comic Standing.” Even the description of his presentation is funny: “‘America’s Got Talent’ runner-up Taylor Williamson got really bad grades at Torrey Pines High School and then 10 years later he was asked to come back to his hometown and teach the youth of America about comedy writing. He has no idea what he’s going to talk about and will probably run out of things to say after 3 minutes. Hope you can make it! Smiley face.” Pre-registration is required for the fourth Annual Canyon Crest Academy Writers’ Conference. Students can register at http://ccawritersconference2015.weebly.com/.

Pro tennis returns to Morgan Run with $25,000 women’s tournament The Fresh Start Women’s Open returns to Morgan Run Club & Resort from Feb. 22-March 1, and is the only women’s professional tennis event to be played in Southern California this year. As host to more than 100 women over a period of eight days, this event reaches the community in many ways. The tournament benefits Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, a Carlsbadbased, charitable organization. Fresh Start transforms the lives of disadvantaged infants, children, and teens with physical deformities caused by birth defects, accidents, abuse, or disease through the gift of reconstructive surgery and related health care services. The Fresh Start Women’s Open celebrates its fifth anniversary that week, beginning with qualifying matches on Sunday and Monday, followed by the start of the main draw on Tuesday. For those players who make it to the weekend, the tournament concludes with the doubles final and both singles semifinals on “Super Saturday” and the crowning of the singles champion on Sunday. In addition to competing against each other on the court, many of the women give back to the community through their participation in a Pro-Am, Sponsor Reception, and Kid’s Day events which take place throughout the week. The FSWO has been a launching point for several players who have gone on to great things in the tennis world, sometimes shortly after playing in Rancho Santa Fe. Among the tournament’s past champions is # 46 ranked Madison Brengle, who reached the Round of 16 at the Australian Open and #119 ranked Michelle Larcher de Brito who reached the Round of 32 at Wimbledon and the French Open. Other top 100 and past FSWO participants include Madison Keys (#20), Rancho Santa Fe resident Coco Vandeweghe (#32), Christina McHale (#52), Lauren Davis (#55), and Nicole Gibbs (#87).

SPOKANE

continued from page 4

At a news conference outside the San Diego Sheriff’s headquarters in Kearny Mesa Thursday, Elliott said he has no idea why or when Vega headed to Spokane. It had to be soon after she left Rancho Santa Fe if she died close to a month before her body was found, he said. Vega rented a room on Bush Street in Oceanside for a time, then moved to a rented room an at Encinitas house from August to December 2013. Investigators have not been able to identify her last roommate or find her next of kin, Elliott said. They are hoping the local appeal for help will turn up those things. Anyone with information about the case was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-222TIPS or to send tips via the group’s website A reward of up to $1,000 will be paid for tips that help solve the case.

Education Matters/Opinion

The Solana Beach School District enrolls 3,171 students in grades K-6, and 106 (or 3.3 percent) have “personal belief” waivers.

Vexing vaccination violators BY MARSHA SUTTON Terms like “herd immunity” and “anti-vaxxers” are now commonly understood, thanks to the recent measles outbreak and heightened awareness of the number of unvaccinated children. The “personal belief exemption” phrase is another term we’re all now familiar with. There is a category for religious belief exemptions as well. Both categories need to disappear. So hurray for California state senator and pediatrician Richard Pan for in- Marsha Sutton troducing a bill that would remove the exemptions and allow only medically fragile children to enter school without vaccinations. This would apply to all schooling options — public, private and home-school. California senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein weighed in on the issue two weeks ago, sending a letter to the state’s Dept. of Health and Human Services, urging the elimination of both the personal-belief and religious-belief exemptions for immunizations. We’ve all heard by now of the increasing numbers of parents who refuse to vaccinate their children against this potentially deadly disease because of unsubstantiated fears that vaccines are dangerous — when the opposite is true. The decision not to vaccinate healthy children endangers public health, confounds scientists and baffles medical researchers who have proven beyond a doubt that there is no link between vaccinations and autism, the big fear. Science has been getting a bad rap lately — but it’s science, for heaven’s sake, not watercooler gossip. Vaccinations work to protect children from deadly diseases like measles. And the Earth is round, not flat — and well over 6,000 years old. The anti-vaxxers’ choices are based on no medically proven research and have no basis in scientific fact, but anyone can find support for any flaky idea somewhere on the Internet. Measles is a highly contagious virus spread through the air that can lead to pneumonia, encephalitis and death, according to the Centers for Disease Control. “It is so contagious that if one person has it, 90 percent of the people around him or her will also become infected if they are not protected,” the CDC states. The CDC advises that children be given their first dose of the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) at 12 to 15 months and the second dose at 4 to 6 years of age. Last week, Fortune wrote about California’s exasperatingly prevalent denial of scientific evidence in the case of measles, noting that in 2000, the CDC declared measles all but eliminated in this country, with 95.4 percent of children entering kindergarten who had received their MMR shots. “That number now stands at 92.6 percent — teetering on the border of an effective herd immunity rate for the disease,” Fortune stated. According to the Los Angeles Times, in a recent report on the measles outbreak, “Public health experts say when 8 percent or more of a population is unvaccinated, ‘herd immunity’ is lost and diseases like measles can spread quickly.” We are now uncomfortably close to that 92 percent. Many say it’s fine if parents choose not to vaccinate their children, who are helpless victims in this debate, because it’s their own kids who will be affected. But the anti-vaxxers jeopardize not just their own kids, but children who for medical reasons cannot be vaccinated. The practice also endangers babies and children too young to have had the required two doses. Besides, that attitude is a bit harsh, because it assumes society has no responsibility to protect the most vulnerable among us from neglect and harm. It’s actually not fine to tolerate personal decisions that health experts say can cripple or kill children, either by withholding vaccinations or by denying medical treatment that is highly likely to prevent death or minimize suffering. When personal or religious beliefs clash with reality and endanger the lives of other children, these exemptions really have no place in the education system. Local schools Areas with higher rates of unvaccinated children tend to be in more affluent communities. Although this link provides numbers for last year, it’s still a very cool site that allows users to key in any school and see vaccination rates: http://www.shotsforschool.org/k-12/how-doing/ Encinitas has a high percentage of the unvaccinated, as do many local private schools, including Encinitas Country Day, Horizon Prep and the Nativity School in Rancho Santa Fe, and Santa Fe Montessori, St. James Academy and Santa Fe Christian in Solana Beach. These private schools, along with many local public schools, exceed the threshold established by the state of 2.5 percent for unvaccinated children. The Rancho Santa Fe School District enrolls a total of 695 students, 446 in the K-5 elementary school and 249 in the 6-8 middle school. Of the total, 56 students — about 8 percent — have opted out of the MMR vaccine based on a “personal belief” exemption. This means only 92 percent of RSFSD students are protected. The Del Mar Union School District has a total of 4,405 students in grades K-6, and about 3.8 percent, or 166 students, opted out based on personal beliefs. Seven out of eight DMUSD schools exceed the state threshold of 2.5 percent: School

The numbers for all three local school districts are for this school year and were obtained last week from each district’s superintendent’s office. Shown are the number of students who have not received the recommended two doses of the MMR vaccine. (Some opted out for medically valid reasons and are not included in these numbers.) Recently, an intriguing suggestion has surfaced that parents who choose not to vaccinate their children should be recognized as a public health hazard and have their names disclosed publicly. Perhaps that might motivate stubborn parents to do the right thing by their kids. So might the movement by some forward-thinking pediatricians to refuse to accept as patients any unvaccinated children, out of a sense of duty to protect the health and well-being of those children whose parents understand the importance of immunizations. Questioning authority is not in itself a bad practice. But in this case, it’s time for antivaxxers to listen to the experts. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

GROUP continued from page 1

has been working since November to explore the district’s options after several parents opposed the high school lottery enrollment process at San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy.) Schmitt said that the closed meetings were legal in that this is an ad-hoc committee without any decision-making power, and that a quorum of school board members is not attending. He said the district has several parent-involved committees that are not open to the public, such as the Pacific Trails Middle School planning committee. To “balance perception and reality,” Schmitt decided to open the last meeting to the public. Four guests attended the three-hour session: one parent, two media members and SDUHSD board member Mo Muir. “The group has been doing really good work; they’ve been incredibly transparent,” Schmitt said, noting that members have discussions with constituents and all meeting notes are posted. Schmitt said he was proud of the way the district has responded to concerns about the selection process and in forming this ad-hoc committee. “I didn’t want to make a decision on the run last summer that would affect

thousands of families over time,” he said. The district hired an unbiased facilitator in Leonard Steinberg to move the district forward and Schmitt said he looks forward to the next steps, which will include plenty of public input via community forums and surveys. Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services, said he hopes to start the community forums in early March. He is planning meetings at each middle school in the district, targeting families with seventh-grade students or younger because they will be affected by the district’s decision. Grove said he’s heard the committee referred to as “the boundary group,” which he took issue with because they have not been drawing any lines. As their crafted mission statement reads, their purpose is to develop options to present for the board’s consideration. “We will openly communicate our findings in the spirit of community representation and will use a fair and fact-based process to promote the best interest of all students,” the statement reads. The group narrowed the options that they will neutrally present to the board: • No district boundaries, 100 percent lottery for all four schools • Boundary for all schools • A boundary mix, status quo with improvements

to the system • Small boundary around all schools, plus a lottery • Small boundary around the academies, plus a lottery • Small boundary around all schools, plus a north-south boundary In small groups, the committee discussed the viability of each option, finding that each presents its own challenges and concerns about equity. Members questioned the lottery system as being “inherently unfair” and “inherently frustrating.” They noted that a small boundary could eliminate the neighborhood school problem of a student living close to a campus but not getting in, but it could also create a bigger lottery with students from all the surrounding areas and possibly even more problems. Also, having a boundary doesn’t always eliminate a lottery: Grove explained that by law, a lottery must be held when more kids apply to attend a school than it has seats for. Already 500 students do not attend their boundary middle school and attend a choice middle school through intra-district transfers. Grove said as of 201516, the district would be changing the way it handles intra-district transfers; they’ve become so popular that they might have to go to the lottery system. See GROUP, page 22

NOISE

continued from page 1 personally observed noise generated by a Saturday night wedding reception at the resort’s Croquet Lawn while standing on the balcony of the Mendez home. Linda Mendez did not respond to a request for comment regarding the judge’s ruling by press time. Doug Carlson, one of the resort’s managing partners, said Dato’s ruling confirms the resort’s contention that it has complied with the county’s noise regulations. “We’re pleased with the ruling,” Carlson said. “We certainly put a lot of effort into noise mitigation, and I think our results and efforts speak for themselves now.” Dato noted in his ruling that the resort has spent more than $100,000 on devices and equipment designed to dampen sound emanating from the Croquet Lawn. The resort also installed a sound monitoring system with monitors at the Mendez property line, and hired a company to take sound readings during events. As a result of Dato’s ruling, Carlson said, a temporary injunction issued in December 2012 by a different judge, regarding noise-generating activities at the resort, will be lifted. “I think (Dato’s decision) ends the lawsuit against us for noise. It shows that we were not in violation of the noise ordinance. For us, it’s business as usual as we continue to manage and monitor events as we have in the past,” Carlson said. The Mendezes are not the only resort neighbors to complain about noise. Two other couples, the Heymanns and the Bartletts, also testified during the trial that they were disturbed by noise from events on the Croquet Lawn. “To be sure, their neighbors’ testimony supports the Mendezes’ position,” Dato wrote. “Yet it is also fair to say that neither the Heymanns nor the Bartletts — nor even her husband — appeared to be as disturbed by the noise as Linda Mendez.” Later in the ruling, the judge wrote, “Linda Mendez is more sensitive than most. She is not the ‘person of normal sensitivity’ described in… the County Noise Ordinance.” Another noise-related lawsuit was filed against the resort in March 2013 by Rancho Santa Fe residents Robert and Deanne Seiler. According to county court records, the Seilers’ lawsuit was later dismissed. Carlson declined to say how much the resort spent defending itself against the Mendezes’ lawsuit. However, he said the resort will seek to recoup its court costs from the couple. The Rancho Valencia Resort opened in 1989, and was originally owned by the Collins family. In 2010, a group of investors headed by Jeff Jacobs purchased the resort and its surrounding 45-acre property. The new owners temporarily closed the resort while it underwent a $30 million renovation. It now includes 49 guest casitas, two restaurants, a spa, fitness center and 18 tennis courts. According to the resort’s website, nightly rates for a weekend in late March ranged from $620 for a studio casita to $3,990 for a 5,000-square-foot hacienda. In January, U.S. News and World Report named the Rancho Valencia the #1 Best Hotel in the U.S., according to a resort news release.

input,” Grove said. After the recent column by Marsha Sutton questioned the legality of having the meeting closed to the public as well as members of the press, Grove said the district sought legal advice and was told that the meetings do not have to be open because there’s not a quorum of board members, and it’s an ad-hoc, temporary group with no decision-making ability or authority. “I’ve not had a single person contact the district and ask to attend who wasn’t on the group,” Grove said. “We haven’t been shutting people out, because I haven’t had any requests.” Grove said he believes the district has been transparent about the process and has selected a complete group of representatives with different viewpoints. All of the work they are doing is posted on the district website with minutes, and members communicate with constituents. “I don’t feel that there’s been a lack of transparency on our part,” he said. Grove said a lot of the conversation that takes place in the group is educating them to help understand the issue’s complexity. He said for people to come in and get snippets of information might cause greater confusion in the community and would be counterproductive. He said the purpose of this group is to figure out the “nuts and bolts,” do the work and then present possible options to the public and the board. Salazar said the group uses a public building to meet, and a “gross amount” of public dollars are being spent for the group’s moderator, so he believes the meetings should be open. “To have an article written like this is bad for the district,” Salazar said. “I don’t know how we all agreed to lawyer up. I’d like to know what the lawyer said and how much it cost. I’m very curious to see how much money we’re going to waste on this task force.” Last October, Salazar voted against hiring the group facilitator, Leonard Steinberg, at a rate of $350 an hour. The group, which includes 35 members and eight high school students, has so far met three times. Sarah Gardner, a parent on the study group, said she has volunteered her time in earnest to do what she can to help the district. Gardner said the column caused a “big uproar” and that if columnist Marsha Sutton were allowed to attend and act as a “watchdog,” the group’s engagement would be curbed. She said committee members who are committed to making a difference might not speak up because they would worry about how they were being perceived. “The focus should be placed on how much information we can glean from the process instead of attacking the process,” Gardner said. Superintendent Rick Schmitt reminded the board that there would be a public meeting at the end of the work group’s process as well as parent surveys. The group held a meeting on Feb. 17 that was made open to the public after the board’s Feb. 5 meeting. (See story from that meeting on page 1.)

tion was to lead the boys through the nudist beach as there were several other non-nudist trails to hike including just turning the opposite direction. When the panicked parents ran to stop him and asked what he was doing he stated that it was no big deal, his family went through this trail all the time, and if the boys did not like this they could just look down. Besides the trail that went out of this area out was just around the corner, according to the cub master. “The trail that he wanted everyone to hike up had a warning that states “do not take any trails down the steep cliffs to Black’s Beach San Diego, you may get stuck on the side of the cliff and suffer an expensive and embarrassing rescue, become seriously injured, or even die”. The parents protested and the choice was to continue the promised short distance forward or double back. It took at least one hour and several hundred more nudists to get to a safe trail up and out of the nudist beach!!!! “When a complaint was filed with the local Boy Scout council office, and investigation was performed by them, which resulted in no action and a statement that there was no violation of BSA policy. “So, apparently, official Boy Scout policy supports the idea that a Cub Scout pack leader can take a group of 9 and 10 year old cub scouts on a hike that passes through a nudist beach that had hundreds of nudists with trails that can lead to death!!!!!” In a signed letter, Karl Shelton, the director of camping for the Boy Scouts of America San Diego-Imperial Council, said the council stood by Wheatley and his judgment as a pack leader. Shelton has written a letter for people who express concern: “I am writing regarding your inquiry about adult volunteer leader, Desmond Wheatley. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify the events that took place involving a local Pack outing and Mr. Wheatley’s role in resolving this matter. “On January 24, 2015, during a planned hiking trip at Torrey Pines State Beach, local Cub Scout Pack 766 encountered some individuals who were inappropriately dressed and in violation of existing state and local nudity laws. This outing, involving both parents and adult volunteer leaders, was quickly rerouted to protect the youth, thanks in part to

Mr. Wheatley’s actions. “Following the trip, both San Diego-Imperial Council and Pack leadership met with the parents of the Scouts to discuss the events and determine if further action was needed. Together, we concluded that proper protocol had been observed and appropriate steps were taken in this matter to protect youth. “Mr. Wheatley’s preparation for and leadership during this outing directly affected the safe completion of this event for all participants. “Mr. Wheatley has served as a Pack Leader with the San Diego-Imperial Council, Boy Scouts of America, for four years. During this time, Mr. Wheatley has consistently displayed the values and character befitting of an adult volunteer leader with our organization, and we appreciate his dedication to helping youth in the San Diego area grow into strong citizens. “I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this matter. Please feel free to reach out and contact me. “Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Wheatley for his service to Scouting and his leadership on that day.” Black’s Beach is not recognized as a nude beach by the state of California. Nudists had often cited the state’s 1979 Cahill Policy as the reason they were allowed to be on state beaches without clothing, but the policy was put to rest in 2009. The policy stated: “... it shall be the policy of the Department that enforcement of nude sunbathing regulations within the State Park System shall be made only upon the complaint of a private citizen. Citations or arrests shall be made only after attempts are made to elicit voluntary compliance with the regulations. This policy should free up enforcement people to concentrate on other pressing duties.” The U-T asked state parks officials whether anyone had complained about the scout’s exposure. “There are signs posted throughout Torrey Pines beaches advising against nudity,” said Vicky Waters, deputy director of public affairs for the state parks department. “We have no citations and have received no complaints about nudity recently.”

have the right of way. Bartlett said many people don’t know much about horses, and a mistake they often make — unintentionally — is to come up behind a horse quietly, which can startle and frighten it. “It would be really nice if people say, ‘Hi, I’m here, I’m coming up’ and let an equestrian know that you’re there,” Bartlett said. She encouraged any property owner who is interested in giving an easement to contact the trails and recreation committee, as it is key to building the trail system. Kruer said the trails and recreation committee is always looking for volunteers. Those interested can call 858877-0433. The trails and recreation committee is hosting a trail ride and luncheon at the Rancho Riding Club at 10 a.m. April 25. Call to RSVP for the ride.

Grove said transfers occur most between Oak Crest and Diegueno. It hasn’t been an issue at Carmel Valley Middle because the school is overcrowded and it has not accepted intra-district transfers. Before breaking into their small group discussions, the committee aired some of the rumors that they have heard regarding their work — everything from parents asking, “Where’s the problem?” to parents who believe that new boundaries have already been drawn. Others have asked why the district was able to allow all freshmen into Canyon Crest and San Dieguito last year, and why they did not in years past when students could not get into their school of choice. There was also discussion about this newspaper’s columnist Marsha Sutton questioning the closed process. Committee members said that they believed their process has included serious, collegial discussions that have helped them understand the facts surrounding a very complicated issue. Nearly all of the committee members said they had been educated by the process and hoped they could clearly educate and inform the rest of the community on why the district operates the way that it does and what they could be able to do next.

New Canyon Crest Academy club shares love of music with community BY KRISTINA HOUCK A new club at Canyon Crest Academy is using music to give back to the community. In just a few months, Music Outreach Club has performed for foster children and seniors, with more performances planned for the year. “The purpose of our club is to keep classical music alive,” said club co-founder and president Alexander Zhang, a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy. “We want to expose everyone to classical music.” Classical music has always been part of Alexander’s life. He started playing piano when he was 5 and has played the bassoon since he was in sixth grade. Although Alexander, now 15, continues to play the bassoon in the school band, he wanted to experience music outside a large ensemble. “We have a band at school, but I wanted to do more,” said Alexander, who co-founded the club with friend Jerry Wu. “Music is a big part of my life, and I just wanted to do Above: Members of the Music Outreach Club at Canyon Crest Academy. Below: Members perform for seniors recently at Emeritus at Carmel Valley. Courtesy photos. more with my talent.” Founded in October, Music Outreach Club aims to spread music beyond the school campus to the greater community. Members share their love of music through volunteer performances and other events. In mid-December, the club performed at a Christmas party for foster children. During the two-hour event at Solana Beach Presbyterian Church, eight members of the group performed eight pieces, including “Carol of the Bells” and “Angels We Have Heard on High.” “It was our first performance, and it was a really great experience,” Alexander said. The club has grown to 20 members, 10 of whom are active, since its launch. Every member is a classical musician and has played music for at least five years, Alexander said. The club meets every Friday to rehearse in the school’s music room. And before scheduled events, the group holds additional rehearsals on Sundays at Alexander’s home. The club most recently performed for seniors Feb. 15 at the San Diego retirement community Emeritus at Carmel Valley. The set list included a variety of classical numbers and selections from films such as “Lord of the Rings” and “Schindler’s List.” In the next two years, while he’s a student at Canyon Crest Academy, Alexander hopes to not only grow the club but also continue outreach to more community members and organizations. He and other club members plan to introduce classical music at neighboring elementary schools, possibly offering music lessons to students. “I hope that we can publicly change the music program at our school,” Alexander said.

Life is a journey of beginnings in ‘Chapter Two’ at NC Rep

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER The first play ever staged at North Coast Repertory Theatre has a long history of success. “Chapter Two,” by American playwright and screenwriter Neil Simon, returns to the stage with NCRT’s Artistic Director David Ellenstein and Christopher Williams co-directing. Ellenstein also portrays the lead character, recently widowed writer George Schneider. “It was No. 1 even back then, in 1982,” said Ellenstein, who was not at NCRT at that time. “It opened on Broadway in 1978. I always liked it and when I looked at it again recently, I liked it even more. My only experience with Neil Simon was a role I had in ‘Broadway Bound,’ during the first regional production, and then I did it again in San Diego at the Gaslamp Quarter Theatre Company.” “Chapter Two,” like many of Simon’s plays, is based on events in his own life. It’s a comedy about a recent widower (George), who connects with his neighbor, Jennie, who is recently divorced. It was written as a tribute to actress Marsha Mason, Simon’s second wife, and her tolerance with his long-lasting grief over the death of his first wife. When NCRT’s Andrew Barnicle suggested Ellenstein play George, Ellenstein said he couldn’t do it because he had to direct. “But my staff wanted me to do it, and this will be the fourth time I’ll be getting on stage as an actor at the North Coast Rep. I like to do that once in a while,” Ellenstein said. “I checked to see if Chris Williams was available, because he keeps a really good eye on me and gives me the right feedback. (Since he was), I decided to do it.” Ellenstein said the other three actors in the show — Jacquelyn Ritz, Louis Lotorto and Mhari Sandoval — have been standouts in all their performances, so he chose them, too. Directing and starring in the same play is challenging, Ellenstein admitted. “While acting, I can’t help but get distracted by the design, costumes or what the other actors are doing,” he said. “But we all talked things out at the first meeting, and it has only been a problem for me to focus on being an actor, when I’m an actor.” Simon loads his plays with emotion, and “Chapter Two,” is no different. It’s funny, whimsical, lovely, touching, romantic, snappy, moving, etc. — so how does a director draw all that out of his actors? “You have to start with the reality of the situation,” Ellenstein said. “Since this is autobiographical about courtship and marriage, there’s a reality to it; we have to find out what’s really going on with these people. The lines are very funny, so we don’t have to worry so

much about making them funny, just delivering them honestly in the situation. “My character, George, is depressed and in mourning, and to work through that, he meets a woman who is going to be an important part of his life. Yet he struggles with it being OK to move on. That’s why it’s called ‘Chapter Two.’” He added that the show has multigen-

erational appeal. “It’s about people falling in love, loss — the jokes still make sense. It’s a good play that will entertain everyone.” “Chapter Two” runs Feb. 25-March 22 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $37 at 858-481-1055; visit northcoastrep.org.

SB Presbyterian’s lemonade stand to benefit childhood cancer research Since 2009, Solana Beach Presbyterian Church has designated a Sunday where it closes its worship doors, goes out to the community and serves the through service projects up and down the coast. One of the 100 projects the church does is a Lemonade Stand to benefit Max’s Ring of Fire, a local non-profit that raises money and awareness for childhood cancer research. Carmel Valley residents and church members founded Max’s Ring of Fire after their son, Max Mikulak, died in 2008 at age 7 from a common form of childhood cancer. Scheduled for 9:30 a.m.-noon Sunday, Feb. 22, at Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach, the lemonade stand will be operated by church members to raise money for research and treatments that benefit kids fighting cancer. The school is at 606 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. “SBPC’s Community Serve Day is one of the most meaningful activities we do as members of our church,” says Melissa Mikulak, Max’s mom. “It’s an opportunity to work alongside our friends and neighbors, and to be able to serve others in our communities and beyond.” Stop by for a fresh squeezed cup of lemonade, home baked goodies, and learn about Max’s Ring of Fire and how you can help.

Manchester adds to portfolio with 1,035-room Fairmont Austin hotel BY DIANE Y. WELCH As chairman of the Manchester Financial Group, founded 45 years ago, Douglas “Papa Doug� Manchester shows no signs of slowing down. His passion for his work has led to new horizons in the realm of real estate with an innovative hotel venture taking shape in Austin, Texas. Nov. 3, 2014 marked a new addition to MFG’s portfolio of resort and convention hotels as through its subsidiary, Manchester Texas Financial Group, ground was broken to begin the construction of a new prestigious landmark, Fairmont Austin. It will be the largest in the luxury hotel brand’s portfolio and will be Austin’s convention center anchor hotel, rising 50 stories with 1,035 rooms. Hunt Construction Group was awarded the $242 million construction contract, and the Austin office of Gensler, a global design firm, is the architect. The hotel, which will be the downtown area’s second tallest structure, will have direct access to the convention center via an aerial promenade, said Manchester. Formerly an empty lot, the hotel is sited by Waller Creek, which runs from the University of Texas into Lady Bird Lake, said Manchester. Bike trails and running tracks are within easy reach. “It’s an exciting area in Austin,� he said. For Manchester, the venture is close to home: His son, Douglas W. Manchester, president of Manchester Texas Financial Group, is overseeing all aspects of the development and this is the first major collaboration between father and son. A graduate of Wake Forest University with a bachelor’s degree in political science and a minor in business, he moved to the area a few years ago as his wife, Lauren, has close ties to Austin. “When Douglas found the empty lot, we decided that Artist’s rendering of the we would try to emulate what we did here in San Diego with planned Fairmont Austin our experience in developing a convention center hotel,� Hotel. Courtesy photo Manchester explained. That vacant lot will be transformed into a sustainable 1.3 million-square-foot building incorporating an energy-efficient exterior and building materials. Manchester’s experience in development projects is legendary: Locally, he is considered father of the San Diego Convention Center, which was originally planned to be located at the foot of Broadway. It stalled when a $225 million bond issue went down to defeat under then-San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson.

With plans and funding already approved for his Intercontinental Hotel — now San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina — Manchester presented a plan to the Unified Port District to move his entire project to the northwest and free up property to the southeast that he then deeded to the port. “And so the convention center could be built and financed by the revenues generated from the hotels that we were going to build. In exchange for giving up the property to the southeast, we would get the property to the northwest, where we con- Douglas ‘Papa Doug’ Manchester and son Douglas W. structed the 1,700-room Manchester. Courtesy photo. Manchester Grand Hyatt,� Manchester said. Consequently, it became “one of the most successful convention centers in the entire United States,� he said. “Where else in the world would you find a destination resort, downtown resort, airport resort, waterfront resort and convention center, all five elements wrapped into one?� Past development projects include The Grand Del Mar, voted No. 1 in the nation by Trip Advisor in both resort and hotel categories. With its five-star rating for resort, spa and restaurant, it is one of only a few 15 star-rated hotels in the world. Previous projects include the Manchester Executive Center, Manchester Financial Building, and the Whitetail Lodge and Golf Club on Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho. Manchester was also the catalyst for the biotech business cluster at Torrey Pines, and funded buildings on the campuses of the University of San Diego, San Diego State University, Wake Forest University, Bishop’s School in La Jolla, and more. For the 10-year-old boy who sold newspapers to those traveling on the Coronado Ferry — and who as a man is now publisher of U-T San Diego — the Fairmont Austin project represents another chapter in his biography, one that in 2013 found him proclaimed Nice Guy of the Year by his peers for his philanthropic gifts totaling more than $40 million. Douglas W. Manchester commented that he couldn’t ask for a better mentor, business partner and best friend in his father, who has shared with him his invaluable lessons in real estate development. “Fairmont Austin will remain the first cornerstone development I’ve been honored to be a part of with my father, and I look forward to many more success stories shared together in the years ahead,� he said. With its completion expected to take 30 months, Fairmont Austin is slated to officially open on June 3, 2017, “my 75th birthday,� said Manchester, who added modestly, “We think it will do very well.�

Fashion statement: Ephron sisters’ hit comes to the Lyceum BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT If you’re looking for a great girls’ night out, this could be it. For four weeks only, starting Feb. 25, “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” will be at the Lyceum Theater. This intimate collection of 28 funny and touching stories-turned-into-a-play by the late, great writer/director Nora Ephron (bestknown for rom-com movie mega-hits like “When Harry Met Sally” and “Sleepless in Seattle”) and her equally comic writer/sister, Delia, has been wowing audiences from New York to Buenos Aires, Sydney, Johannesburg and Manila since 2009. Based on the slim 1995 bestseller by Ilene Beckerman, the show is a set of monologues that first came to life in 2008 at a small playhouse in the Hamptons. Six months later, it went on to a series of readings off-off-Broadway, as a benefit for Dress For Success, a charitable organization that helps underprivileged women get into the workforce by supplying them with the right clothes to wear. From there, it was just a short step to off-Broadway’s Westside Theatre, where it ran, with a rotating cast, for the next 2 1/2 years, winning several awards, and then taking off on a national tour. Beckerman’s charmingly illustrated mini-memoir pulled her life stories out of her closet; the perky drawings of the clothes she remembered wearing, from Brownie uni-

form to mother-of-the-bride dress, were an inspired touch. The book was originally meant for her family of five grown children, to let them see something of who she was before she was their mom. A friend of a friend saw it, and decided to publish it; female readers around the country took it to heart, and passed it along to their friends. One of the readers was Nora Ephron, who bought several copies and spoke to her sister about turning it into a play. They contacted 100 or so of their BFFs and collected more wardrobe memories to plump up the show. They even added a monologue adapted from Nora’s little book about aging, “I Feel Bad About My Neck.” From the earliest readings, since the Ephron sisters were very well connected, the play’s cast of five has featured some of the top names in show biz, like Rosie O’Donnell, Tyne Daly, Marlo Thomas and Brooke Shields. The San Diego production includes five lesser-known, local actresses, but is sure to be a crowd-pleaser all the same. It’s not about the performers, really, or even the clothes; it’s about the experiences they bring back to mind, bits of story that women all over the world can identify with. “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” runs Wednesdays-Sundays, Feb. 25-March 22, at Lyceum Theater, 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego. Tickets are $45-65 at 619-544-1000; visit PlayhouseInfo.com.

The five players who share wardrobe memories in ‘Love, Loss, and What I Wore’ are Melinda Gilb, Deanna Driscoll, Jacole Kitchen, Elsa Martinez and Rachael VanWormer. Photo by Daren Scott.

Actor/playwright reveals all in ‘The Darrell Hammond Project’ BY DIANA SAENGER LET’S REVIEW! People who see “The Darrell Hammond Project” at La Jolla Playhouse will discover how the actor turned growing up with a life of lemons into lemonade and will understand that anything is possible. Hammond wrote the play about his horrific childhood with Elizabeth Stein. It chronicles the life a young man unable to break free from memories of abuse while growing up. Hammond enters the stage with the carefree air of the “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) star he’s become. He “voices” some of the characters he’s known for impersonating as the audience’s laughs validate he’s spot on in mimicking politicians and movie stars. And then the real work for the actor begins. On a table is a stack of folders representing all the psychiatrists he’s seen during his lifetime, and he explains each one’s diagnosis. As Hammond reveals some of the dark things that happened to him, a bright red light fills the stage and he mocks cutting himself. He explains that this was what he did when up against a memory too depressing to focus upon. The darker moments of Hammond’s life are excellently portrayed, but not overplayed. In describing the enormous amount of drugs he took, his inability to keep a job or have a regular place to live in, his sadness, confusion and distress inhabit his entire body. Yet, like many comedians masking pain, Hammond can throw out a few words and beam a smile when the laughs echo throughout the

It’s easy to relate to Hammond’s humor when he describes incidents at school, with friends, trying out for SNL, and other moments of his life. But when the face full of pain emerges, you can hear a pin drop in the theater. The production was surely a challenge for Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley. How do you watch someone go through such experiences and then say, ‘next scene!’ Yet together, the pair created a show balancing both humor and sadness to tell a poignant story. I particularly liked the scenic design by Robert Drill and projection design by John Narun. The centered table provides a place for Hammond to return for props as he continues his story. A huge cabinet at the back of the stage holds many more items – a Frankenstein figure, a Godzilla statuette, and other mementoes of his life. Image projections of Hammond’s family, clips from SNL, and some of his most popular impressions help sort out all of what’s revealed, so audiences can come to understand what this incredible actor has survived and achieved. The show contains strong language, mature themes and adult situations. • IF YOU GO: ‘The Darrell Hammond Project’ runs through March 8 at La Jolla Playhouse’s Potiker Theatre, UCSD campus, Tickets from $15 at (858) 550-1010. lajollaplayhouse.org

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

SpaBlue offers ‘green’ features to soothe the environment as well as your body BY LOIS ALTER MARK If North County residents are looking more relaxed these days, it’s probably because they’ve been spending time at SpaBlue, the gorgeous new day spa at the Flower Hill Promenade. Emma Hughes and her husband, Tom, bought the former Spa Gregorie’s location in September after moving to Rancho Santa Fe from England, and they’ve already transformed it into a true oasis for mind, body and soul. “We chose the name because blue is my favorite color,” admitted Hughes. “I love the feelings of peace, tranquility, healing, serenity and calm the color evokes, and I hope we instill those in each guest during their visit. Also, blue symbolizes water and the ocean, which we’re lucky to have so near to our beautiful location.” It’s hard not to immediately feel a sense of calm when you walk into the spa, change into your robe and melt into cozy lounge seating in the quiet waiting room. You can help yourself to a healthy snack and a cup of tea while you anticipate the knots in your muscles miraculously disappearing. “Massage is, unquestionably, our most popular treatment,” said Hughes. “With the busy lives we all lead, massage is so beneficial in helping to release stress and negative energy. Massage therapy also helps to improve sleep, boost the immune system and

reduce aches in the body. It is a wonderful treatment for anyone.” SpaBlue’s signature treatment, “The Best of Both,” combines a full-body massage with an express facial for 90 minutes of head-totoe pampering. Because you don’t have to get up between treatments, you can hold on to that blissful feeling without disruption. “By combining the two treatments into one package, guests are able to enjoy both a massage and a facial without wasting time being passed to a different therapist,” explained Hughes. “This is especially helpful for those whose schedules are tight and who may be trying to fit in a treatment during lunch or between conference workshops.” Although SpaBlue features all kinds of traditional treatments from peels and wraps to manicures and pedicures, they add their own special touch to each one — along with a variety of hand-picked products. “We are in the process of making our menu more and more customized to each individual guest,” said Hughes. “That way, they can simply book the amount of time they would like with the therapist of their choice, who can advise and perform the services that are best suited to their needs. I believe this to be quite unique.” Hughes’ own personal favorite treatment is the Radiance Facial from Arcona which, she says, “leaves my skin feeling amazing and with a healthy glow.” It’s even

What does well-being look like?

The new Schooner Station pizzeria and sports pub in Encinitas has taken over the location of Today’s Pizza & Salad. Courtesy photo

Schooner Station pizzeria/sports pub the latest from Encinitas entrepreneur BY KELLEY CARLSON After more than a decade away from the restaurant industry, Keith Armstrong is back in the game with a new pizzeria and sports pub. Schooner Station opened Dec. 7 in the location previously occupied by Today’s Pizza & Salad, at 481 Santa Fe Drive in Encinitas. It’s a go-to spot for people who want to enjoy pizzas, salads, hot sandwiches and beer while watching sporting events on numerous big-screen TVs, and it fills a niche in the local food and entertainment scene. “I didn’t want to be just another neighborhood pizzeria,” Armstrong said. But it is his first pizzeria. From 1995 to 2000, he was a co-owner of the Wooden Nickel, a burger-and-fry joint in San Bernardino. He was attending college when he helped start up the restaurant with some friends. “There was a bar just down the street from Cal State San Bernardino … it was really cheap (to buy),” Armstrong explained. The venture paid off, as the new eatery became successful and is still in business today. However, Armstrong eventually sold his share, as his attention began to turn toward newspapers. He became an owner of the Sun Newspaper Group (which included the Carlsbad Sun, San Marcos Sun and Vista Sun) with his then-wife and her family. After going through a divorce and moving to San Diego in 2010, Armstrong began to realize that he missed the service industry, and began actively seeking ownership opportunities about a year ago. He went up and down the coast, looking for a freestanding building that was conveniently located near a freeway, in a beach community. When Armstrong saw that Today’s Pizza & Salad was for sale, “I jumped right on it,” he said. Armstrong took over the restaurant on Dec. 1, and spent nearly a week renovating it before opening it under its new name. He added custom-built furniture to create different types of seating, from high and low tables to community tables, booths and a bar. He also installed 17 flat-screen TVs, including one with a 100-inch drop-down digital screen, to showcase the latest sporting events. But while he made changes to the interior, Armstrong kept Today’s recipes and its cooks — with some tweaks to the portion

sizes. For instance, the individual pizzas were eliminated, and guests can now order by the slice. There are eight varieties, with one that’s always cheese-based and customizable. Those seeking larger pies can select sizes from 14 to 18 inches. Customers who used to visit Today’s will recognize Schooner Station’s signature dishes, which include the Traditional Meatball Sub, the Raspberry Vinaigrette Walnut Salad and the Pepperoni Pizza, with its New York-style thin and crispy crust. Nearly all of the items are made from scratch, Armstrong emphasized, from the sauce to the dough. Even the Parmesan on the tables is grated on site. The only exceptions are several of the appetizers, which include the Jalapeño Poppers and the Mozzarella Cheese Sticks. Brews also play an important role at Schooner Station, which is named for a type of tall beer glass. Armstrong increased the restaurant’s taps from 11 to 24, offering suds from Bud Light and Coors to Ballast Point Brewing Co.’s Sculpin IPA. They’re served in 60-ounce glass pitchers or frosted 18-ounce schooners. “It’s the coldest beer in town,” Armstrong promised. It also may be some of the best-priced: Craft brews are $5, Bud Light and Coors are $4, and Pabst Blue Ribbon is $3. Because of the low prices, “we have happy hour all day, every day,” Armstrong joked. Other beverages on the menu are Gatorade, Red Bull, ginger ale, soda, tea, juices and some cocktails. Armstrong said future plans for Schooner Station include “opening up” the patio to allow more air and sunlight, presenting themed nights, and expanding the menu. Meanwhile, “we’re glad to be open and part of the community,” he said. Schooner Station is indeed making its presence known locally — it recently became a member of the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce, and it also sponsors a local Little League team. The restaurant is open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. During the summer, it will extend its hours to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight Friday and Saturday. For information about Schooner Station Pizzeria & Sports Pub, call 760-753-9700.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Furniture showroom making Grace-Ful exit from Encinitas After nearly 30 years in the furniture business, local Mark Matheson is now holding his final sale. With “retirement” signs posted throughout Encinitas-based GraceFul Living Home Furnishings, Matheson is looking beyond furniture to the future. “I’ve enjoyed the business, but the industry has changed,” he said. Although Matheson started his career as an analyst at a certified public accounting firm, he discovered furniture was his true passion when he started working at a Los Angeles-based furniture store in the 1980s. After six years at Civilization, Matheson returned to his hometown of San Diego to open his first furniture store, Metropolis, in 1993. “We were around for years,” he said. “We had a really good reputation. A lot of people know us from that store.” The furniture business was one of the industries hit hardest by the recession. Metropolis, which first opened in Hillcrest and later opened in Encinitas, closed its second store by the beginning of 2010. When the economy began bouncing back, so did Matheson. In 2012, he opened Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings in North Park. Named after his 11-year-old daughter, Grace, the store relocated to Encinitas the next year. “The store just fit this community,” he said.

Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings specializes in bedroom, living room and dining room furniture. With the catchphrase “Style You Can Afford,” the store offers high-quality furniture at prices most can afford. “I wanted to give the feel of a high-end store with moderate pricing,” Matheson said. With a showroom larger than 5,000 square feet, the store’s ceilings have been stripped down to the rafters to highlight the collections featuring distressed metal, exotic wood and other hard surfaces combined with fabrics. Although he’s been in the industry nearly three decades, Matheson still enjoys looking for trends, arranging the pieces on the floor, and helping customers. But because the industry has shifted toward bigbox stores and online shopping, Matheson, now 65, is looking forward to retirement. So he’s planning to sell the store. He’s excited to spend more time with his daughter and surfing San Diego’s waves. “It’s time,” he said. Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings is at 1044 N. El Camino Real, Suite B in Encinitas. Call 619-399-3460 or visit https://www. facebook.com/HomeFurnitureSanDiego. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

A Tree House Finds its Roots My husband Charlie grew up in The Bronx in New York, no doubt surrounded by brick and concrete, and one day he told me that he had always dreamed of having a tree house. I am happy to say that we are finally giving him that dream. Thanks to the great work of the designers and landscapers at www.naturedesigns.net, my family and I have decided to transition our backyard to make

it completely sustainable and eco-friendly: a real life tree house! We realized that living in Rancho Santa Fe is such a beautiful privilege that we wanted to give back to not only the community, but the environment as well. Over the coming months, we will be improving our irrigation system to maximum efficiency while creating a colorful yet low-water landscape. We want to surround ourselves with beautiful, native, drought resistant plants, while maintaining an outdoor living space that welcomes guests and dogs alike. We will be improving the soil by adding compost and mulch to retain moisture. These are just a few of the additions and changes we will be making to our yard, and we welcome others in the community to follow in our footsteps.

Below are some tips for making your yard sustainable and environmentally happy. Irrigation -- Monitor water usage weekly and check the irrigation system regularly for water run-off, leaks, and overspray. -- Program three start times per watering day. Run zone should only run as long as the water soaks into the soil. Once run-off occurs, stop watering. Wait 1-2 hours, then run that zone again. Then repeat. This allows the water to saturate deeper into the soil and reduces run-off. Plants are able to grow roots into the deeper moisture which strengthens them. --Once established, native and drought tolerant plants will need very little irrigation. Make sure to adjust according to their needs. -- Adjust timing seasonally to account for heat

and cooler temperatures, and dormant months. - Use a Smart controller to make programming easier to adjust. -- Consider installing a greywater system. Pools -- Add a pool cover if possible to reduce evaporation. -- Install solar heating. -- Replace inefficient and loud single speed pool pumps with high-efficiency, quiet, variable speed pumps. -- Convert to a salt system, UV, ionic, or oxidation water quality system. http://www.janetlawlesschrist.com Column continued at: http://www.ranchosantafereview.com/ news/2014/nov/03/a-tree-house-findsits-roots/

Dual casts present ‘Annie’ at J* Company Youth Theatre JCompany Youth Theatre launches its third show of Season 2015 with a rollicking classic, “Annie.” Performances begin March 6 and continue through March 22 at David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, Jacobs Family Campus. Directed by Joey Landwehr, this musical tells the rags-to-riches Depression-era story of a spunky orphan who, unlike the other children at Miss Hannigan’s miserable orphanage, believes that her parents are alive and will return to claim her. When billionaire Oliver Warbucks offers to adopt her, she asks him to help find her real parents instead. Warbucks’ whopping reward for Annie’s parents attracts the attention of con artists Rooster, Lily, and the wicked Miss Hannigan, who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie and take the $50,000 reward. But don’t fret: This classic family musical has a happy ending for Annie, Daddy Warbucks, and the whole gang. What makes this production different is JCompany’s double cast process. Said Landwehr, “There was such incredible talent seen at auditions, I felt we needed to present two casts for our production of ‘Annie’: Our Willingness Cast (ages 7-12) and our Example Cast (ages 11-18).” On the final day of performances, each cast will perform for each other (and the audience, of course) and cheer each other on. The production includes 92 youth cast members. The David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre is at 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. Call 858362-1348 or visit www.sdcjc.org/jcompany to purchase tickets.

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.

CROSSWORD

PATRIOT continued from page B10 here.” Campbell is logging cool stories to tell his 9-year-old son, Aidan, while working in assault, Medevac and VIPS flight companies, having escorted U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel around. In down time, he sometimes runs marathons and has recently raised $2,000 for Men’s Health Awareness and is working on a college degree. Home based at Fort Bliss, Texas, where he manages maintenance for 15 helicopters, he’ll pass on his gains to junior soldiers. He hopes “that everyone knows not just the ‘what to do,’ but the ‘why we do it,’ whether it be in the air flying, or on the ground performing maintenance.” He’s realized that after 16 years of service, “I’m good at fixing an aircraft and taking care of people.” Sgt. 1st Class Scott Campbell has logged roughly 1,400 flight hours in the nine years he’s been flying. He’s won various Army awards, including two Bronze Stars. Mitigating mechanical mishap is crucial for a UH-60 Black Hawk crew trying to move troops, stay safe from enemy combatants, and complete successful missions. “Pilots like to fly with me, because I can quickly identify and resolve any issue with the aircraft,” said Campbell. “I have yet to drop a mission due to maintenance and plan on keeping that record going.”
