BY KAREN BILLING A group of Rancho Santa Fe residents concerned about the proposed Covenant Club pool and fitness facility have created an independent steering committee, the RSF Homeowners Group, to ensure that all members are kept informed on the process, according to a press release. Currently, the Association’s Covenant Club Committee is in the professional feasibility study phase on a potential 15,000 to 17,000-square-foot facility on the RSF Golf Club campus. The committee is currently following the schedule outlined in April, which will include a town hall meeting at the end of the program and site analysis phase, followed by a Covenant-wide vote on whether to build the facility in early 2016. The RSF Homeowners Group first got together in June to discuss the Covenant Club and to trade any information they had regarding the site, the financing and the scope. The group said in the press release that there is a lot of unsubstantiated rumors floating around and that the process of the Covenant Club Committee is flawed, with not enough information being disseminated.

RSF Association trails committee member Daniel Bunn and Suzy Halleland from the Village Church cut the ribbon on the new trail on Las Colinas. Attending the ribbon cutting were Association maintenance staff members, resident and pedestrian Joan Voelz, trails committee members Brent Clark and Rochelle Putnam, Efrain Morfin on Wrigley, trails committee members Jeff Simmons and Sharon Ruhnau, and Arnold Keene, RSF Association field operations manager. Photo by Karen Billing BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association celebrated a trail dedication on Tuesday, Sept. 29, with the new segment christened by honorary horse Wrigley before the ribbon was snipped from the fence posts. The new 800 feet of trail along Las Colinas near the Rancho Santa Fe Village Church eliminates the need for pedestrians and equestrians to cross Las Colinas. Arnold Keene, RSF See TRAILS, page 20

RSF Association Board Biz: It’s about building community — with a plan BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD Last weekend was an amazing time to live in Rancho Santa Fe. It was another sunny Saturday morning in the Village as gorgeous, exotic cars assembled for the weekly gathering of the Secret Car Club. The regulars secured their lattes at Positano before heading off to golf, tennis or a ride on the trails. Others enjoyed scones at Thyme in the Ranch or blueberry pancakes at The Inn. When what to our wondering eyes should appear (with apologies to Clement Moore) but a popup event in the park! Thanks to the Association’s vibrant new committee, the Village VIBE, the park was adorned with sun umbrellas, picnic tables for regular and small-sized people, lawn games, food and music! Saturday mornings are always busy for families with children, and so I was thrilled to see all of the families who managed a stop in the park before or after soccer games. It looked like an old-fashioned country picnic with groups playing croquet, bocce, corn-hole toss, ball toss and Giant Jenga —
Ann Boon all with no electronic devices in sight. Kids entertained themselves, and bigger kids spontaneously stepped into the role of playing with the littler ones. Many of us sampled the famous shrimp tacos from Frida’s Cocina food truck — and we hope Frida will return one day to RSF. All the while, Andy Mauser played his soulful guitar in the background. It was a magical morning. Board members and volunteers have been working hard to find ways to restore our Village’s vibrancy since many of you expressed your concerns over the loss of a grocery market, the disappearance of retail shops and the lack of opportunities for community activities in our Village. Revitalization efforts include working with property owners to find incentives that might entice
them to house more retail, including a market. We have a team working with the county to examine various zoning structures that would provide for more varied uses in our Village in the long term. Other individuals are researching a variety of parking solutions that will best serve the interests of both residents and retailers. Our aim is to revitalize the Village so that it provides everything our community wants. The Village VIBE and its group of enormously creative and energetic volunteers are working to design experiences in the Village for our community to enjoy. The VIBE experiences are sort of like laboratory experiments — tests to see what you, your children, your grandchildren might enjoy. As resident and professional planner Stacey Pennington put it, “We are setting the stage in a thoughtful way and hoping that it will happen.” It? Well, “it” means members of the community coming together. “It” means community gatherings in the Village offering residents something special to enjoy together. “It” may mean games for the kids or music and wine for the adults. We
don’t know all the possibilities yet. We are just getting started, and we need your input and participation to help us figure out exactly what “it” is. Saturday morning’s events were just the start of our great weekend in the Village. On Sunday afternoon, the VIBE was centered on the lawn of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe for a lively Oktoberfest celebration, sponsored by The Inn and the RSF Association. I walked up to The Inn expecting to hear accordions playing polka music, but was surprised and delighted to hear rock music. The party had alternating sets from two bands, The Midnight Pine and Hot Damn Sextet, who played a great mix of rock and soul. Naturally, Oktoberfest included a Biergarten with
an array of beers served by a lederhosen- and dirndl-clad wait staff. Fantastic food choices included the famous Mastiff Sausage Co. food truck, chocolates from It’s Myne, fresh Belgian fries from Belgian Delights and, of course, delicious selections from The Inn’s Morada restaurant. You can count on events at The Inn to include fun activities for children. The VIBE brought in a giant bouncy Bavarian castle and provided wonderful arts activities in the shade. I imagine there were lots of tired kids on Sunday night. Thanks to the staff at The Inn, the VIBE committee and SLP Urban Planning for a wonderful event. Oktoberfest was a great chance to see old friends and make new friends — a celebration of the season and of our community.
How does an amazing weekend in Rancho Santa Fe end? With a super moon lunar eclipse, of course. I know the blood moon was seen all over the world, but I can’t imagine that this stunning celestial event was on display any more magnificently than it was here, lighting up the dark skies of Rancho Santa Fe. We watched it in awe with our neighbors. The VIBE can’t promise a lunar eclipse to cap off every event, but this supercharged group has lots of fun in store for us, I promise. Stay tuned for the VIBE, and please stop by when you see activity in the Village. Together, we can create the community that we envision Rancho Santa Fe to be. ann.boon@me.com

The National Merit Scholarship program, established in 1955, had around 1.5 million juniors from more than 22,000 high schools participate by taking the 2014 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). The semifinalists scored in the top 1 percent on the test and have the opportunity to apply for consideration as a finalist and for 7,400 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $32 million offered in the spring. The finalist criteria include academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, plus honors and awards received. Applicants must also be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, write an essay, and earn high SAT scores.

BY RICKY YOUNG SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW We hadn’t even figured out whether to pronounce it Hay-gun or Hah-gen, and suddenly the grocery chain wants to close all its stores in California, Arizona and Nevada and stick to its roots in the Northwest. This past spring, Haggen took over 146 stores that Albertson’s and Safeway/Vons had to sell when they merged. Haggen has struggled with its huge expansion into the rest of the West, particularly in Southern California, where a pricing glitch made many customers think the store was way more expensive than its predecessors here (because it was — at first, anyway). In May, after the pricing was smoothed out, the store’s Pacific Southwest CEO Bill Shaner was upbeat in a story in The San Diego Union-Tribune. “People are entitled to their opinions, but I’m confident Haggen will succeed,� he said. “We have great locations, an experienced management team, a talented support team and tremendous leaders and associates in our stores who have already developed meaningful relationships within the communities we serve.� A retail analyst was less optimistic and, apparently, more correct. “When a company is required to divest stores, like what Safeway and Albertsons did, they prefer to sell to a weak retailer that will most likely fail,� said analyst David J. Livingston, founder of DJL Research. “My hunch is they are counting on Haggen’s failing. They want to make sure that whoever they sell to will be an ineffectual competitor.� Haggen last month announced it would close 27 stores, and this month entered bankruptcy court. It sought permission for the additional 100 closures from the judge on Sept. 24. The impact in San Diego County could mean as many as 25 closed stores.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK After a more-than-30-year career as an artist, local resident Sally Huss is now using her skills as a children’s book author and illustrator. “I want to uplift children using my talents,” she said. And in just three years, she has written well over 50 books, including several books for adults. “I just keep going,” she said. Originally from Bakersfield, Huss studied at Occidental College and later graduated from the University of Southern California with a bachelor’s in fine art. By that time, she had already become a champion tennis player, having won the Wimbledon and U.S. Junior titles and been a Wimbledon semi-finalist in the Women’s Division in both singles and doubles. “From the time of 10 to 21, when I quit, I was a tennis player,” said Huss, who began taking private oil painting lessons when she was 10 years old. “But I also did art in school and really focused on that.” After college, Huss worked in television and then in films for Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. She later managed Paul Simon’s music publishing company. But with her brushes and racquet still at her side, Huss returned to both fields. She started teaching tennis. Around that time, she also met her future husband, Marv. They married nearly 39 years ago and have an adult son. Together they developed the Aspen Club in Colorado, a health spa and tennis facility. After that, they built 26 Sally Huss Galleries across the country and around the world, offering art, ceramics, clothing, accessories and other licensed products. The couple opened their first gallery in the early 1980s in Laguna Beach. The pair eventually owned five galleries, with the others in Santa Monica, La Jolla, Pasadena and Palm Springs. Others owned the remaining galleries, with two located in Japan and Switzerland. “I was always working,” Huss said. “I always had my head down, continuing to paint and design. It was really fun.” When the recession hit, however, the galleries started closing across the country, with the last gallery in La Jolla closing its doors about three years ago. “I then turned my attention to what I always wanted to do: children’s books,” Huss said. Huss has always wanted to be an author. She started writing short stories in the 1970s and has a box filled with unfinished and unpublished books she’s written. “I always had the desire to do it, but I never really had the time,” she said. After closing their last gallery, the cou-
ple spent a year and a half in Fallbrook, where Huss focused on creating children’s books. “It was like a retreat,” said Marv, who as the former head of advertising and promotion for Hallmark Cards, helps with business. “She worked seven days a week for a year and a half.” The couple then moved to Solana Beach at the start of the year. Since focusing on children’s books, Huss has self-published more than 50 books on Amazon. “At 75 years old, I am delighted to have meaningful work in my life,” Huss said. It takes Huss about one week to write one book. She writes the content and creates the images for the children’s books electronically, using a Bamboo Pad along with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. “I was never trained. I learned what I needed to learn to do what I needed to do,” Huss said. One of Huss’ favorites is “The Princess in My Teacup,” a rhyming picture book that emphasizes the importance of being grateful and helping others. The book focuses on a little girl who gets advice from a princess who pops up in the most unexpected places. A follow-up to the book, “The Princess in My Teacup Returns,” was later published. The story was inspired by an encounter Huss had with a little girl at Honeys Bistro & Bakery in Encinitas. “The little girl walks by and she was in a long dress,” Huss explained with a smile. ‘I looked at her and I said, ‘Oh, a princess.” She looked at me and she said, ‘A queen!’” Many of Huss’ stories are inspired by life experiences or simple ideas. A book called “One Green Omelet, please!” was written after a tip to Honeys — one of her favorite restaurants. The book teaches children about mindful eating. The books are intended for children ages 2 to 8. Most of the books are written in rhyme. All of the books focus on core values and life skills. They also feature certificates for children that recognize the lessons they learned by reading the book. “I love to write them,” Huss said. Print and electronic versions of the books are available on Amazon. Aiming to appeal to a wider audience, Huss is creating multicultural versions of her children’s books with new pictures and translated text. She also hopes to eventually bring her books to Head Start programs and book fairs at schools across the country. “I hope children enjoy the books and pick up the little messages that are planted in them,” she said.

Whole Foods Market to cut 1,500 jobs BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Whole Foods Market, which has locations in Del Mar, La Jolla and Encinitas, plans to eliminate about 1,500 jobs, or about 1.6 percent of its workforce, over the next two months, the Texas-based company announced today. Company officials said many of the cuts are expected to be achieved through attrition — not filling jobs that workers vacate — and some of those whose jobs are eliminated could find work at other open positions or at one of the more than 100 new stores in development. “This is a very difficult decision, and we are committed to treating affected team members in a caring and respectful manner,” said Whole Foods co-CEO Walter Robb. “We have offered them several options including transition pay, a generous severance or the opportunity to apply for other jobs. “In addition, we will pay these team members in full over the next eight weeks as they decide which option to choose,” he said. “We believe this is an important step to evolve Whole Foods Market in a rapidly changing marketplace.” The company did not provide a breakdown of where the jobs would be cut and which stores might be affected. Company officials said the cuts were being made as part of its “commitment to lower prices for its customers and invest in technology upgrades while improving its cost structure.” The company has 431 stores, including 10 in Canada and nine in the United Kingdom.

Local photographer puts focus on San Diego County from mountains to shores BY KRISTINA HOUCK From the panoramic coast to the picturesque mountains, it’s hard to capture the beauty of San Diego County in one book. But that’s what local photographer Steve Gould set out to do with “San Diego, California: A Photographic Portrait.” “These aren’t snapshots,” Gould said. “I tried to create each image as a piece of art.” Published in May, the 128-page book features 185 photos taken by Gould, along with a narrative written by Sara Day. The book follows Gould’s two self-published books on the Southern Ocean and Iceland, released on Blurb in 2010 and 2012, respectively. A year later, in August 2013, Gould was contacted by Massachusetts-based Twin Lights Publishers, which has brought the beauty of America to readers through its “Photographic Portrait” series for more than a decade. He was asked to capture San Diego County. “It was a total surprise — and a delightful one — when Left, Powerhouse Park in Del Mar; right, the San Diego skyline at dusk, both from “San Diego, California: A they got in touch with me,” Gould said.

- Sponsored Content Local resident chairing event for A Fresh Look on Finances young adults in foster care with Aubrey Morrow CFP ®
BY JARED WHITLOCK Local resident Jaye Connolly-LaBelle’s passion for helping those in foster care runs deep. For nine years, the Encinitas resident has been on the board of directors of Walden Family services, a nonprofit that supports foster children, teens and young adults. She’s also chairing Thirty-Nine & D’Vine, a fundraiser for the organization at 6 p.m. Oct. 5 at Pamplemousse Grille in Solana Beach. “Too often, these kids end up in jail or on another unfortunate path,” Connolly-LaBelle said. “We want to break that cycle.” This particular event will raise money for services for young adults, 18 to 21 years old, who have chosen to stay in extended foster care. “We provide transitional housing, we support their college educations, we help with job readiness, all so they can be productive people in society,” Connolly-LaBelle said. She added that studies show — and Local resident Jaye Connolly-LaBelle and she’s seen firsthand — that this is a critical Jeffrey Strauss, Pamplemousse owner. time in their lives. Courtesy photo Connolly-LaBelle said many kids are simply born into a tough situation, one reason for her strong desire to help others. Another is her belief that: “You’re only here once; try and make a difference.” “My thing is, every kid should have a happy family and shot at happiness,” she said. Her philosophy of making a difference extends to her career. Connolly-LaBelle is the president and chief operating officer of RippleNami, online software that allows humanitarian groups and other customers to track and visualize natural disasters, logistics issues and more. Connolly-LaBelle said many using the platform are working in underdeveloped regions and need access to reliable information that’s easily retrievable. When not working, Walden Family Services is her focus. And she pointed out that the region faces significant foster-care needs. There are 402,000 children in foster care in the U.S., and almost 60,000, or about 15 percent, are in Southern California. That’s why Walden Family Services has placed a greater emphasis on fundraisers and events, she said. “We want the community to get involved,” Connolly-LaBelle said. Thirty-Nine & D’Vine will feature a special presentation from Melinda Avila, a former foster youth and now Walden employee, about her personal journey and lessons learned. Several options are available to attend the event. Individual tickets are $300. Table sponsorships will enjoy reserved seating, upgraded wine pairings and special recognition. They run $10,000 with seating for 10 and $5,000 with seating for four, and $2,500 VIP tickets with seating for two. In addition, all table sponsors and VIPs will take home a box of handmade Le Petit Mousse Chocolates.

Students will visit the Book Fair with their classes on Oct. 2 and will write a wish list of books they would like to buy the week of Oct. 5-9. Teachers also make wish lists for their classrooms for parents to purchase. Parents will place their child’s name on a dedication sticker inside books they donate to their child’s classroom. “This is a great way to increase the classroom library,” said Stacey Halboth, the school librarian. “It allows students to be exposed to a variety of genres.” Community members and parent volunteers are essential each year to making the Book Fair a success. Helpers are needed to work for two hours at the Book Fair working cash registers, organizing books, and helping students find what they need. Community volunteers can contact Stacey Halboth at 858-756-1141, ext. 201.

WEALTH has been
created by investing in the Stock Market and Real Estate
FOR RENT
We have witnessed the stock market as much more volatile these days as in the past. So, why do most people have their investments tied to the stock market? It’s simply too easy and many people are not aware of other investment options. If you have a mutual fund or retirement accounts, odds are that you are invested in some fashion – in the stock market via a mutual fund, 401k, 403(b) or some other retirement account. As a financial advisor for more than thirty years, I have always recommended a diversified investment portfolio which matches one’s goals and objectives, element of risk willing to take (keeping in mind), everything has “risk”, and time horizon before you need income from your investments. Diversification can involve many different types of investments and real estate is one of them. One can own a rental property which they manage or own interest in larger commercial properties with professional management. Other alternative investments can include owning interest in lending institutions which make senior loans to large private businesses providing projected attractive cash flow to investors. Investors can also own interest in multi-family apartments, needed senior housing and HealthCare facilities located throughout the United States. These alternative investments can provide diversification projected tax sheltered cash flow with potential appreciation to keep up with inflation – and help you potentially create greater wealth while lowering you exposure to volatile stock markets. While diversification is important, it cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss. And, keep in mind, past performance is not indicative of future results. As a general rule of thumb: 1. Maintain amount in your checking to equal one month’s expenses. 2. Maintain a savings account which will provide liquidity if needed for an emergency or opportunity. The amount should be based on the reliability of your income. 3. Next, max out all possible retirement accounts. 4. Lastly, plan a personal diversified investment plan. One of these days, you will be happy you planned early. People are living longer and their money needs to do the same. As mentioned, every investment has risk. However, without risk, there is also little return on your investment. Do your homework and work with a trusted financial advisor – one who is a “Fiduciary” who only has your best interest in mind.

We now have in our mailboxes a survey to cast our vote on either roundabouts or traffic signals in the Delicias corridor. If you vote for roundabouts, there are two things that will happen. 1) During the construction of roundabouts, (for) approximately 18 months there will be a massive detour of 15,000 vehicles daily into our side streets. These side streets will be several in number and most of those 15,000 vehicles will go by the school and through the main part of town, going west in the morning and east in the afternoon. Can you imagine … 15,000 vehicles daily. 2) Upon completion of the roundabouts, traffic flow will show level of service as failure. Which is what we have now with stop signs … lengthy delays, day after day. This is documented in a published independent study which was reviewed by the RSF Association staff and board, and San Diego County. This published 34-page report is available by going to rsfroads.com. So after spending over $6 million for roundabouts, we will have a failed system. If you vote for traffic signals, two things will happen. 1) During installation of traffic signals, those 15,000 vehicles will not be detoured. See the report by the RSF Association Intersection Committee, available at the RSF Association office. Traffic will flow during construction through the Delicias corridor. 2) Upon completion of the traffic signals installation, traffic flow will show level of service as good. Again refer to the independent study by Urban Systems Inc. published in early 2015. Remember — in 2030, traffic in the Delicias corridor is projected to be 23,000 vehicles daily! If you do not like either roundabouts or traffic signals, then you can fill out your survey by writing in bold print “Do nothing.” This will keep what we have — stop signs — then we will see what happens in a few more years. Sam Ursini, Rancho Santa Fe
I changed my mind. Now I prefer roundabouts Several years ago, I joined the RSFA Intersection Committee to help expedite a solution to the traffic problem on Paseo Delicias. I live on the east side of the Ranch, so I am affected. Traffic lights seemed like a viable option — they could be installed quickly, and they would eliminate the traffic backup. At the time, I did not know much about roundabouts, other than they may delay a decision. However, the more I learned, the more I realized traffic lights were a bad idea, and roundabouts were actually a much better solution. As a result, our committee ended up voting 6 to 1 to recommend roundabouts. There are several reasons why I changed my mind. The roundabouts will serve as a beautiful gateway to our community. They will be more in keeping with the rural aesthetics of the Ranch, and will have beautifully landscaped center islands. They offer a visual traffic break entering RSF from the east by concealing traffic flow. There is no highway view plane. I learned that traffic lights have up to eight overhead lights at each intersection, with 2,000 watts plus 1,000 watts of signal lights. They will have aggravating left-turn lanes with red lights. Worse yet, the bright lights and changing red-yellow-green traffic signals will be visible from The Inn and main street. Traffic lights violate our “dark sky” policy and are just not appropriate for RSF. Roundabouts turned into the clear choice when I found out they move traffic more safely and 20 percent faster than traffic lights. There is no stopping and starting, just a continuous flow. As residents, we will always be waiting at annoying red lights. With roundabouts, we will always have access to roadways. I also now appreciate the very real danger of the impending widening of Via de la Valle and Paseo Delicias to four lanes, a much larger problem for us than any other issue. The county owns the roads and can do as they wish. Traffic lights will make it easy for them to widen our roads, whereas roundabouts can stop it. Since roundabouts may take several years to be installed, lights remain an option. Choosing traffic lights now will give us a quicker solution, but irreversible, and with many long-term negative implications, including 10 percent more traffic immediately and a potential for four lanes.

Poll of the Week at www.rsfreview.com Last week’s poll: Do you believe reports that we are in for a wet winter? YES: 83 percent NO: 16 percent This week’s poll: Should more tax dollars be spent on helping the homeless? Yes or No?
A rumor is making its way through the Ranch that the roundabouts will cost more than $6 million. Another rumor claims that Covenant residents will be on the hook for much of the cost. Yet a third rumor claims that the county will be taking a significant amount of land from the Village Church and Covenant residents along the Paseo Delicias corridor. Contrary to these claims, all costs are paid out of the county budget — neither Covenant residents nor the Association pay anything. County literature states: “As of 2014, the installation cost of a round-about was around $1 million …” A county project manager mirrored this cost. He also informed us that the roundabouts are eligible for federal funds from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). County engineers have done a great job in designing the roundabouts to minimize impact on privately owned properties. Over the three intersections, Covenant residences will lose less than 9/100th of an acre combined. The Association will lose about 3/10th of an acre of open space. Each landowner will be paid fair market value for the land — taxfree. The Village Church is not included in these calculations because it will not lose any land. The parking spaces it will reportedly lose were already given to the county of San Diego in 2008, in exchange for variance to build a sanctuary that was larger than code allowed. In addition, a signed 2008 MOU shows the Association will kindly gift neighboring land to the church to replace any lost parking places. If we generously estimate fair market value for property along the corridor to be in the region of $1 million per acre, then the eminent-domain cost to the county will be in the neighborhood of $500,000. Next, if we project that each roundabout costs $1 million to build, then add the estimated eminent domain costs of $500,000, the cost is more likely to be in the neighborhood of $3.5 million. (The county will be budgeting a total of $4.5 million to account for any additional legal costs related to eminent domain.) Then subtract the assessments from Cielo and Crosby developers, and add federal funds from NEPA. Roundabouts will end up being cheaper than traffic lights, especially over the long term.

Paying more for using less water — really? After reading the story on the front page of last week’s Review, I am stunned that the Water District is planning to raise their water rates. Now, if I got this straight, RSF homeowners and district water users have been bombarded with multiple warnings of excessive water usage, and potential penalties threatened, We have (most of us) all complied with the drought restriction of water honorably, even though many of us have lawns that are half brown, or worse. So now, having complied with mandatory water usage restrictions (at no small inconvenience to many of us) and our reward for all of this is they want to raise rates by 9 percent. So, it’s cut your usage, kill your lawns and pay more for using less water? More for using less water? ... Whoever said that “the inmates are running the asylum” must have the SD Water District in mind. This is simply a joke: Use less, pay more because the Water District can’t manage their overhead? ... Is anybody out there as outraged as I am? Claude Turner, RSF resident since 1987

Letters to the editor/Opinion
Why is Rancho Santa Fe Association delaying environmental report on Covenant Club? On Sept. 18, the Covenant Club Design Subcommittee held a meeting at the Golf Club for representatives of the Association Board of Directors and the Golf Club Board of Directors. Kirk Mason, Covenant Club architect, presented an illustrated history of the many design concepts, alternatives, and refinements that have been considered thus far in the feasibility study. The members of the Association board and the Golf Club board asked numerous questions during the presentation which were answered by Mr. Mason or Jerry Yahr, chairman of the subcommittee. Mr. Yahr then invited those in the audience to make comments or ask questions. One of the questions asked was: “I don’t believe Kirk Mason, Jerry Yahr, or anyone on the Subcommittee mentioned getting an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). What are your plans for getting an EIR?” Mr. Yahr answered that an EIR was required but also said the EIR would not be ordered until after the Covenant Homeowners “voted” because it was too “expensive.” The Board of Directors of the Association is not impartially representing all homeowners on this issue as they should, because the board is extremely biased in favor of the Covenant Club being constructed on the Golf Club/Tennis Club campus. I’m sure the board is well aware that the EIR will be negative to some degree because the Covenant Club definitely will not improve existing traffic and noise. Therefore, it is certainly reasonable to assume the Association board wants to avoid the inevitable negativity, which will stem from the EIR, until after the community vote. The Association recently revised the budget for the $350,000 feasibility study of the Covenant Club by allocating an additional $15,000 to the Membership and Marketing Subcommittee where it can be used for building scale models of the proposed Covenant Club, advertise, and have presentation parties while the RSF community is going to be denied the opportunity to review an EIR, before we vote. This is grossly unfair and wrong, because the EIR is one of the most important components of any “feasibility study.” Carol Magoffin Ninteman

None of the above We are two years into the Covenant Club project, one year removed from our vote on the feasibility study, and all we know for sure is that this community activity center, if approved, would be on the golf/tennis club campus. We don’t know where on the campus, how big it would be, what it would look like, what it would cost, what kind of memberships would be offered, and, most of all, we don’t know who would pay for it. Their logic for keeping us in the dark is impeccable. Covenant Club committee heads say they can’t answer those questions until they know where it might go, how big it might be, and, in the interest of transparency, they are asking for our help in making these decisions. That involvement by homeowners has slowed the process but they believe it will result in a better decision. Sounds reasonable. Still, many of us don’t yet support the Covenant Club, not because of what they have told us, but because of what they haven’t. For instance, no matter where it will be located on the Golf/Tennis Club grounds, we know the plan is to integrate the existing facilities into a country club. It will have a pool or two, fitness rooms, equipment, a kids’ camp, activity rooms, locker rooms, and a cafe. The activity level on our campus will increase dramatically over what we have now, with a bigger parking lot and considerably more traffic on Via de la Cumbre. Above all, we know it will be large and expensive. The financing will probably include a combination of Community Enhancement Funds and debt, possibly with the Community Enhancement Funds covering the debt as well. They are not telling us about those things yet because they want the process to play out, yes, but also because they would like us to get so wrapped up in what site, or what design, that we lose sight of the big picture. They act as if the major decisions have already been made and all they need from us is input on the little ones; what amenities should we have, how close to the golf course, two-story or one-story, all without telling us the cost of our decisions. Pretty clever. But, don’t fall for it. Your answer at this point should be: None of the above. Between the Golf and Tennis Clubs or on the hill? None of the above. Which amenities? None of the above. Use debt or Community Enhancement Funds? None of the above. And when they finally ask the right questions for the Ranch. High-speed Internet or our own water source? Wireless service or natural gas? That’s when your answer should change to: All of the above. It is about priorities. No matter how much of our money has accumulated in the Community Enhancement Fund, we can’t afford something as extravagant as the Covenant Club at this time. Bob Mulholland

‘Paint The Town Red’ The RSF Education Foundation kicked off its Annual Giving Campaign with Red Envelope Day on Sept. 25. Amid red banners and festive balloons, parent volunteers were at R. Roger Rowe School all day, accepting contributions in the red envelopes that were distributed to school parents at the beginning of the year. The school band played as volunteers handed out doughnut treats at morning dropoff and then popcorn at afternoon pick-up. This year, the day ended with an inaugural “Paint The Town Red” invitation-only evening reception for adults, sponsored by and held at The Inn at RSF. The photos on this page are from the evening reception event. The Annual Giving Campaign contributes five payments throughout the school year to meet the grant amount pledged to the district each year. Contributions from the Education Foundation ensure that the district can maintain the small class sizes, focused academics and enrichment programs that are the hallmark of R. Roger Rowe School. Class size averages 18:1 in K-8, versus 32:1 in the state. The amount pledged to the district for the 2015-2016 school year is $1.3 million, which the foundation hopes to achieve through contributions received from 100 percent of school parents. The foundation encourages early contributions and pledges, since staff and programs for the year are already in place.

GROUP
continued from page 1
According to Tom Ault, chairman of the group, the RSF Homeowners Group is a formal steering committee that will meet once a week. “Our goals and objectives are to ensure that any pool/fitness center is designed in keeping with the unique ambience of the Ranch. Many of us are golf and tennis club members and we felt a need to protect the RSF Golf Club and RSF Tennis Club from any changes that might jeopardize their mission and vision,” Ault said. “As all of us are homeowners, we wanted to ensure that in keeping with Covenant precedents, any new club in RSF, including the proposed pool/fitness center, is paid for and financially sustained by its own membership.” Ault said the group started with 20 Covenant homeowners and is currently around 300 homeowners and growing daily. “It’s a testament to the hunger for information that is not easily or clearly obtained,” Ault said. The steering committee will collect information from the RSF Association, the CC Design Review Committee, the CC Membership/Marketing Committee, the CC Financial Committee and all public presentations and share what they learn with members on its website, rsfhomeownersgroup.com. “We will analyze the facts and based on
that information, we will determine if the project aligns with our mission and objectives. If not, we will oppose it,” said Bill Johnson, chairman in charge of communications. “If we decide to oppose the project, we will coordinate a campaign to inform all RSF residents why we oppose it and ask for their support and vote. We feel it is imperative that all homeowners have an informed and educated opinion on how the CC project will affect the Ranch before they vote.” All of the Association’s Covenant Club Committee meetings are open to the public “We have many of the same goals as the RSF Homeowners Group and agree with their aim of increased communications and transparency,” said Heather Slosar, Association director and chair of the Covenant Club Executive Committee. “We are in the feasibility plan stage, and have an open process in place to share information as we work through designing, programming and finance options. We welcome member input throughout this time-intensive process.” The Covenant Club Committee’s marketing subcommittee will meet on Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 8:30 a.m. at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and the design review subcommittee will meet on Oct. 13 at 3 p.m., location to be determined.

To your health: New therapies for treatment of atrial fibrillation, or abnormal heart rhythm BY DOUGLAS GIBSON, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH According to the National Institute of Health, most adults have an average heart rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute. Most of the time, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about how fast your heart is beating unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exercising, feeling stressed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or have cardiac arrhythmia. Cardiac arrhythmia is a condition in which the heart may suddenly start to beat too quickly, too slowly, or with an erratic rhythm. In serious cases, arrhythmias may increase the risk of heart problems and require treatment. The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation. Normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) contract, followed by the two lower chambers (the ventricles), in a steady rhythm. With atrial fibrillation (AFib), the electrical impulses that control this rhythm become irregular, disrupting the atriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to effectively pump blood from the heart. As a result, the heart may beat very quickly, sometimes exceeding 200 beats per minute. In addition to a rapid heartbeat, some people with AFib experience symptoms including shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness or chest discomfort. AFib can increase the risk of stroke. About 30 percent of all strokes in the United States are related to atrial fibrillation. Since AFib prevents the heart from pumping blood effectively, blood can pool in the atria and form clots; in people with AFib, clots are most likely to occur in an area of the left atrium called the left atrial appendage. If these blood clots travel to the brain, they can cause a stroke. People with AFib have a stroke risk that is about six times higher than normal, and strokes related to AFib tend to be more disabling than other strokes. Medication can help reduce the risk of stroke, but may have side effects. Medications such as Warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto and Pradaxa can help people with AFib reduce their risk of having a stroke, by causing the blood to become thinner, thereby reducing the likelihood of clot formation. While these medications can be very effective, some people find them difficult to use or experience unwanted side effects. Warfarin, for example, requires certain dietary restrictions as well as frequent blood tests to see how thin the blood is and whether the dosage needs to be adjusted. Blood-thinning medications can cause some people to bruise more easily, as well as raise the risk of life-threatening bleeding. Minimally invasive surgical procedures can reduce stroke risk without medication. Two relatively new, minimally invasive surgical treatments, known as left atrial appendage occlusion procedures, may be options for people who cannot or prefer not to take blood-thinning medications. Both occlude the left atrial appendage, which is where most clots form; this has no effect on normal heart function in adults. One procedure implants a tiny, parachute-like device called the Watchman into the heart. During this relatively short procedure performed under general anesthesia, the surgeon inserts a long tube called a catheter through a small incision in the groin and threads it through a vein up to the heart. The device is then placed in the heart through the catheter. Most patients spend one night in the hospital and can usually stop taking their blood-thinning medications 45 days after the procedure. Scripps participated in the research trials that led to FDA approval for the Watchman, and is researching a sec-

Expert to discuss Native American pottery Oct. 3 in RSF Native American expert Dr. James Kemp will discuss the pottery of Mata Ortiz from 10:30 a.m.-noon Oct. 3 at the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society. His talk at the Historical Society last Fall on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kachina Dolls and Dancesâ&#x20AC;? was to a full house. The pottery was crafted based on the ancient designs found in shards around the area of Mata Ortiz in Mexico, and today is collected and sold around the world, appreciated for its individual beauty and craftsmanship. Kemp, a resident of Julian, and a retired clinical professor at UC San Diego, became fascinated with Native American and other related cultures after moving to the Southwest from the East Coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found a wealth of cultures only a day or two drive from San Diego,â&#x20AC;? he said. He will bring samples of the Mata Ortiz pottery in his collection to the presentation. Registration is required. Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for non-members. To register, call Sharon Alix, administrator, at the RSFHS Tuesday thru Friday, at 858-756-9291. La Flecha House, home of the RSFHS, is at 6036 La Flecha, Rancho Santa Fe, CA.

Middle East cleric discusses plight of Christians in the Middle East in RSF The many efforts by individuals and organizations to work toward peace in the Middle East was the focus of a discussion and reception held Sept. 27 at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. With three international experts on Islam and Christianity, the program was designed to help people learn more about Islam, the status of relationships between Muslims and Christians, and the growth of the Christian church in Iran and across the Middle East. The program featured the Rev. Dr. Sasan Tavassoli, former Shiite Muslim and now Christian pastor and evangelist who oversees a satellite teaching ministry focused on Iranian Christians; the Rev. Dr. John Azumah, a native of Ghana and associate professor of World Christianity and Islam at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Ga.; and Marilyn Borst, who works with Christian organizations throughout the Middle East in her role with The Outreach Foundation, a global mission agency.

WoW! Theater fest returns to La Jolla Playhouse, Oct. 9-11
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT WoW — the acronym stands for Without Walls, La Jolla Playhouse’s adventurous program that brings theater beyond the confines of buildings and into the wide world outside. It started in 2011 with “Susurrus,” an iPod play with music that was also a stroll through the San Diego Botanic Garden. Each year brought new site-specific experiences — “The Car Plays” in the Playhouse parking lot, a Greenwich Village nightclub act in Hillcrest, a play-along street theater/walking tour of Little Italy, and in 2013, the first WoW festival, four days of special events staged by local, national and international artists that turned the Playhouse Theatre District into Festival Village. Now it’s festival time again, and Oct. 9-11 will bring in a range of attractions, including drama, comedy, dance, music, puppets, and audience participation. A number of events are free and family-friendly — there’s even a special Family Day on Oct. 10. This year’s centerpiece is “Healing Wars,” a mixed-media dance/drama that explores the physical and psychological wounds of war, from the U.S. Civil War to the seemingly endless battles around the world today. The piece, which premiered last year at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., was created by multiple-award-winning choreographer Liz Lerman in response to the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Called “powerful,” “stunning,” and “utterly original,” it will have an extended run through Oct. 25. Another must-see is “The Spheres” by Strange Fruit, an Australian troupe that has achieved near-cult status with its haunting aerial dance works. This one, billed as a tale of transformation and wonder, features large, glowing globes and graceful performers atop swaying 14-foot poles. And that’s just the tip of the WoW-berg. There’s “Ojo: The Next Generation of Travel,” a 75-minute “perspective-altering adventure” by Pittsburgh’s Bricolage Production Company; and “A Flock of Flyers,” hailed as “a Canadian contemporary classic,” in which a flight squadron, left plane-less by budget cuts, manages to continue training with a series of tightly choreographed Monty Python-esque maneuvers that have delighted audiences around the world. There will also be offerings from local theaters, like Ion, Moxie, and Sledgehammer, as well as The Trip, an alt-theater company known for putting a wildly contemporary spin on classic plays. At the first WoW Fest, they re-imagined Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” as a backyard BBQ. This time, they’re staging Chekhov’s “The Three Sisters” on a tennis court at The Scripps Research Institute on North Torrey Pines, a free shuttle ride from Festival Village. Tom Dugdale, The Trip’s co-founder, director, play-adapter and composer, is an awardwinning UC San Diego grad now teaching directing at Texas State University; he brought his troupe there to work on the show. How did he come up with the idea of Chekhov on the court? “Tennis is very specific to San Diego and La Jolla; it captures the idea of leisure, and it’s such a fierce, well-behaved contest, with competitors expending huge amounts of energy,
One of the highlights of this year’s WoW Festival is ‘Healing Wars,’ a dance/theater piece by acclaimed choreographer Liz Lerman. Courtesy photo but always with a net they can’t cross,” he said. “I thought that was like the Three Sisters and their rivalries — fierce, but always with a veneer. They’re a protected, privileged group of people, living in a protected zone — like the tennis court.” Will the actors actually play tennis? “Some,” Dugdale said. “We’ve been working on our game!” There will also be live music, and more comic riffs than Chekhov ever imagined. “It’s a heavy piece,” Dugdale said, “but we’re mining it for its comic potential.” They’ll have an extended run, through Oct. 18. There’s lots more to the WoW Fest, including a new set of “Car Plays,” and of course, food and drink stations. Ticket prices range from free to $29. Call 858-550-1010; visit WoWFestival.org.

‘Wear Pink Cocktail Party’ Vembra and David Holnagel sponsored a “Pink” cocktail party Sept. 25 to say “Thank You” to donors and build partnerships for the foundation she helped establish. Board members, donors and guests gathered at the home of Bob and Debra Gustafson in Rancho Santa Fe. Shades of Pink Foundation California provide temporary monetary assistance to women who are experiencing financial distress as a result of a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Grants go directly to cover basic living expenses. Cely was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer in March 2014. Cely’s husband suffered a stroke and she became his primary caregiver. She spent years lovingly taking care of him until March 2014 when she also suffered a health crisis. In March she started chemotherapy for her breast cancer, which continued through September 2014. In November she underwent a mastectomy, which removed 13 lymph nodes. As a result of the treatment, she developed a rare condition called neuropathy, which has made it difficult for the 62-year-old to walk and maintain her balance. Cely and her husband are relying on disability, Social Security and the kindness of their daughter to help them pay their mounting bills. Cely said: “I hope that I feel stronger as time goes by. Thank you for your consideration and generosity.” Cely’s daughter said this, “I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Shades of Pink California for helping my mom. It means so much to have help with their living expenses. Your assistance lifted her spirit to know someone cared. I was very impressed with your compassion and efficient operations. Well done.” For more information, visit shadesofpinkfoundationca.org. Photos by McKenzie Images. For photos online, visit www.encinitasadvocate.com and www.rsfreview.com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Therapeutic Literacy Center in SB helps children correct learning difficulties BY DIANE Y. WELCH If your child has difficulties with learning, is slow to complete homework, or just can’t keep up with the other students in class, help is close by. The Therapeutic Literacy Center in Solana Beach has a team of experts, headed by owner Maria Bagby, that offers affordable specialized programming custom-designed for each child. Since the center’s opening in 2013, successes have been evident. “We have officially helped seven children exit special education in the last year,” said Bagby, a former kindergarten teacher who earned her first master’s degree in early childhood psychology from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. “And many others have turned around their process, potentially becoming special ed but then instead ending those processes (to enter into special education) because they no longer needed them.” Due to this success, the center has become renowned as a deficit specific treatment center for both auditory processMaria Bagby runs the ing disorder (APD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD). Fifty percent of children diagnosed with ADD in truth Therapeutic Literacy have APD, said Bagby. Often they have a hidden deficit of Center in Solana Beach. cognitive processing for which they cannot be medicated. “But we can change the way that processing happens and we have been very successful at fixing that.” The center partners with audiologists, psychiatrists and psychologists, which further helps the children in “gaining their self-regulation and attention,” said Bagby. Her work is carried out by a team of professionals; the center has 17 highly-trained clinicians with a clinical director and an assessment director on staff. Due to its reputation the center is growing rapidly. It has expanded twice since its opening and is already running out of room.
Its philosophy that all learning problems are temporary resonates with parents and their children. “I think it is commonly misunderstood that you cannot correct underlying learning difficulties, especially in schools,” said Bagby. In a traditional school setting, teachers are not trained to give children individualized learning programs. “Their belief is that we have to live with what we are born with and find ways to accommodate it,” she added. “We go underneath to those underlying layers to see why, and what is the specific deficit and what is the recommendation for fixing it so that children may become independent See CENTER, page B19

Movies uncover the world for viewers at San Diego Film Festival BY JEANNE FERRIS Globetrotting is easy-peasy for those with wanderlust at the San Diego Film Festival, which runs till Sunday, Oct. 4. Forget luggage fees, expired passports and a house sitter for the dog. The only thing you need to attend an international film is a printed ticket or scanned on your cellphone. “Kidnap Capital” is the only film in the festival placed in two categories, Social Justice and Foreign Films, said Stephanie Inscoe, festival producer. “Technically, it isn’t foreign, but the language is primarily Spanish (and) this film is so timely and so relevant to what is happening in border cities, not to mention the refugee crisis in Europe, I wanted it to be considered.” “Kidnap Capital” (North American premiere) is based on real events about a “drop house” of kidnapped illegal Central American migrants in Phoenix (a documented hub for illicit activity) and the survival of its captives. It’s a film with outstanding photography, acting and editing — “a little film that could,” said Felipe Rodriguez, director, writer and producer. “It (has) always appealed to me to tell stories that plant a “Seahorse” (Brazil) is a seed of good in people. Film as a medium has the power to coming of age drama. instill ideas and suggest action. It makes people go home and replay events and situations in their heads. Scenes are repeated and lines quoted for years to come,” said Rodriguez, a French Canadian of Spanish descent and a well-respected documentarian. “That’s why telling a dramatic story with the real backdrop of human kidnapping rings, as it happens on a daily basis and maybe right next door, appealed to me.” “Dark Horse” is from New Zealand (U.S. premiere). Oxford’s definition of a dark horse is: little-known person who is unexpectedly prominent. “While the main storyline is around chess, the underlying theme is really about a man who searches for the courage to lead,” said Inscoe. “It’s a great story about purpose and hope. It’s inspiring for everyone.” Cliff Curtis, “Dark Horse” lead actor (“Fear the Walking Dead,” “Whale Rider”) is of Maori descent, with tribal affiliations of Te Arawa and Ng¬ati Hauiti. He will be in attendance for the screening. “The Cut” is from Armenia (world premiere): This epic drama traces one man’s journey through the Ottoman Empire after surviving the 1915 Armenian genocide. He moves on as a forced laborer from the Mesopotamian deserts in Mardin and Nazareth; and when he learns that his twin daughters might still be alive, travels to America via Havana to the deso-
“Dark Horse” (New Zealand) is framed by chess, but is about a man who searches for the courage to lead. Courtesy photos late prairies of North Dakota. “Labyrinth of Lies” is a political thriller from Germany (U.S. premiere): In 1958, a public prosecutor discovers that a teacher has been identified as a former Auschwitz guard — but no one is prosecuting him. “The Ambassador to Bern” is from Hungary (West Coast premiere). Based on true events, this political thriller chronicles the day of Aug. 16, 1958, when two Hungarian immigrants break into the Hungarian embassy in Bern, Switzerland. “Seashore” from Brazil (San Diego premiere) is an intimate coming-of-age drama where two friends find themselves on the cusp of adulthood where a brief excursion to the coastal town is a journey into themselves. “Victoria” is from Germany (West Coast premiere): This is an award-winning (Silver Berlin Bear) film shot entirely in one take and in one night about one girl; it’s action-packed and filled with intensity and intrigue.

Fundraising event held for North County Literacy Foundation The North County Literacy Foundation held its inaugural fundraising event Sept. 26 at a private residence in Rancho Pacifica. The event was held to raise funds to support therapies in hidden underlying learning skills faced by local students. The neurosciences have proven that ADHD, Auditory Processing Disorder, Dyslexia and other learning challenges can be significantly corrected, making school easier, and open doors of possibilities for college and beyond, according to the North County Literacy Foundation. The North County Literacy Foundation has been established to fix those hidden challenges that many local students face. For more information, visit www.northcountyliteracyfoundation.org.

‘Amazing LACE’ event for autism awareness The stars glistened on FINE Magazine’s “Amazing LACE” event held at Cielo in Rancho Santa Fe. More than 200 guests turned out at the elegant and entertaining evening. Models from fashion houses throughout San Diego strutted their stuff on the catwalk. Proceeds benefited the B.I.A.N.C.A. autism charity. Allison Whitney founded the organization four years ago, inspired by her niece whom she named the organization after. “What differentiates us from other groups is that we focus on the family as well as the affected child. We strive to provide family support systems with networking capabilities so everyone relates to each other.” The acronym stands for “Be Involved, Act Now, Cure Autism.” The show included the latest in lace designs for women and innovative male fashion. A silent and live auction with baubles and gifts rounded out the evening along with a menu of hors d’oeuvres. Visit www.biancanpo.org. Photos courtesy Media Magic.

Varicose Veins: What Men Should Know When thinking of varicose veins and spider veins, men often conjure images of grandmas with blue hair and compression stockings. However, according to some researchers, up to 56 percent of men contract varicose veins. As I’ve mentioned in previous columns, varicose veins are not simply a cosmetic annoyance; problems associated with varicose and spider veins can range from discoloration, heaviness in the legs, to even bleeding and skin ulcers, all of which can hinder daily activity if not lead to greater consequences such as blood clots. All this means that men should not ignore
the symptoms out of shame or because of an outdated stigma. While genetics and weight play a role in the likelihood of getting symptoms of varicose veins, often times it is athletes who are prone to this condition. And we are far from the days when painful vein stripping was the only solution, as the painless sclerotherapy and laser treatment have replaced the outmoded procedures. In the meantime, here are some facts to consider: Many men lift weights as a form of exercise. Strenuous exercise such as weightlifting can strain venous circulation. When blood flows from the legs back up to the heart, it moves through the abdomen, in the vena cava. Heavy lifting and straining increases abdominal pressure and impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. Instead, the blood pools in the leg veins, which increases the venous pressure and reverses the flow back to the varicose veins in the legs. For those who do lift weights, make sure to use proper techniques with lower weight and higher rep routines. Also, stretch
your muscles in advance of more intense movements, since veins rely on the muscles to efficiently transport blood. Preliminary stretching increases the heart rate to oxygenate the blood flowing into the veins surrounding the muscles. Follow up with light cardio such as walking or riding an exercise bike, then proceed with weight you can handle; too much weight may increase risk of injury and prevent the valves in the veins from opening fully to enable blood flow. Only increase weight load gradually. Post-lifting, cool down for at least ten minutes by walking or other light cardio to maintain blood flow, and commence by repeating the warmup stretching. Finish by elevating legs and even wearing compression hose or leggings. In general, it is important to maintain a regular exercise regime in order to maintain healthy venous structure and keep vein walls strong. Try to involve your calves, a big player in maintaining blood flow from your legs back to your heart. Similarly, men as well as women find
themselves more attached to their computers for work, which requires long periods of sitting. Blood naturally pools in the legs when not in motion, and sitting for long stretches exacerbates the problem. If it’s not possible to take regular stretching breaks, make sure to move your legs, raising them at your desk or tapping your feet. If you’re standing still, sway from side to side. When you have a chance, try to lie horizontally a few times a day for fifteen minutes to reduce vein pressure. Men are generally afraid to seek treatment for varicose or spider veins, often choosing to ignore the symptoms because they don’t understand the significance of the condition. But treatment is quite easy and is very effective and should not be overlooked, no matter your gender or your lifestyle. And while not everyone is ready for compression hose, there are many steps you can take to relieve symptoms of or eliminate altogether those pesky grandma veins.

Modern Home Tours LLC is hosting the 2015 San Diego Modern Home Tour on Oct. 10, part of the San Diego Architectural Foundation’s Archtoberfest. Tourgoers will have the opportunity to visit several modern private residences in San Diego, and meet the architects. The official line-up: • In the Crown Point neighborhood of Pacific Beach, visit a unit in the new Petros Row Home development. The four luxury units have an inward-looking design focused on gracious courtyards, with floorto-ceiling windows that draw in light. • A home situated at the top of Del Mar Terrace that enjoys a magnificent flow of light, air and space accented by glass walls. The home features bamboo flooring, 17-foot ceilings, a Japanese soaking tub, steam room and sauna, two outdoor dining areas, and an oversized private deck. It’s also a total solar-powered home! • The “Wedge House” in University Heights showcases a complete renovation of a 1960s home. The new remodel makes the ground floor into a generous open plan, making visual and social connections to the second-story family room. • In La Jolla, visit a green home for a couple about to retire. This extensive remodel demolished interior walls, while keeping just 50 percent of exterior walls. A low-profile pyramid-shaped roof with a pyramid-shaped skylight brings in lots of natural light, and clerestory windows (operable by remote) help create cross-ventilation for passive cooling. • A collaboration between Zephyr Partners and Mark Gross & Associates in Leucadia. This new home features a floating staircase, exposed beams, brushed concrete floors and reclaimed materials, balanced with disappearing glass walls and copious outdoor living space. • In La Mesa, visit a complete renovation that was considered by most to be a total teardown. Every single surface inside was replaced, as well as nearly every piece of the home’s exterior. Homes open their doors for viewing from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 10.

learners,” Bagby said. This approach has evolved from Bagby’s 30-year career in education being developed through decades of hands-on work in the classroom, training teachers, and expanding her own education. Bagby earned a second master’s degree in reading in the years she lived as a Dominican Sister in Grand Rapids, Mich., teaching Catholic school. She then earned her third master’s degree in curriculum and assessment and became a National Board Certified Teacher. She had the opportunity to work with the Milken Family Foundation in the development of a teacher excellence program and became a lead national trainer of Mentor and Master Teachers. Her subsequent professional endeavors include work as an academic interventionist, earning her certification in using the Orton Gillingham methodologies, and learning the Lindamood Bell programs. Bagby’s passion became remediating dyslexia, which was the catalyst for her to begin the transition into private practice outside of the system of school.
Earning her certification as an educational therapist, she was able to open up her practice in the Del Mar Corporate Center across from the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The center offers specialized programming that is short-term and individuallybased on the evaluation of specific cognitive processes behind a child’s success in reading, writing and spelling. Therapeutic instruction is offered to diagnose dyslexia, aid memory, attention, processing speed, phonemic awareness, visual processing, internal timing and organization, logic and reasoning, executive function and much more. Parents interested should contact the Therapeutic Literacy Center at 858-481-2200 or online at http://therapeuticliteracycenter. com. The center will schedule an assessment of the child. The intake process also includes a parent/client consultation, report and recommendations, and program set-up. The center is at 990 Highland Drive, Suite 106-D, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.
Art lecture series goes ‘Pop!’ in October FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS History lecturer Derrick Cartwright, Ph.D., will present a four-part series of pop art discussions at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays in October at Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. “Notes on Pop, 1910-1990: A Short History of a Long Cultural Phenomenon,” will consider pop art as something more than just an American movement of the 1960s. Today, almost everyone recognizes the paintings of Andy Warhol or the sculpture of Claes Oldenburg as a historical (and powerful) critique of consumerism during the Great Society. But how were these works viewed at the time? And what can be gained by looking at pop art as a 20th-century-long, global phenomenon? Series tickets are $50 members/$70 nonmembers; single lectures are $14 members/$19 nonmembers. RSVP: 858-454-5872 or ljathenaeum.org/art-history-lectures.
