BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association had a large turnout for its April 29 town hall meeting, designed to give community members a chance to weigh in on their preference for roundabouts or traffic signals on three intersections on Paseo Delicias/Del Dios Highway. The April 29 meeting was held in advance of the Association board making a decision at its May 7 meeting on the solution for traffic problems on the busy highway. In a non-scientific straw poll taken by RSF Association Manager Bill Overton, of the 156 people in attendance at the April 29 meet-

ing, only 11 favored roundabouts and 26 supported maintaining the status quo. The rest, 76 percent of those in attendance, were in favor of installing traffic signals. There was one tonguein-cheek suggestion for a tollbooth. Overton, as well as associate planner Larry Roberts, said the option to do nothing is not really a solution: If the Association has no input, the county will decide for it. As resident Laurel Lemarie put it, right now Rancho Santa Fe has a chance to control its own destiny. “Neither alternative is See TRAFFIC, page 30

RSF School District board considering bond refund BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District is considering refunding general obligation bonds, representing a savings for taxpayers. At an April 29 special board meeting, the board heard a presentation from Jason List, a principal at Isom Advisors and Jeff Baratta, managing director for Piper Jaffray, a public finance investment banking firm. On the agenda for the board’s next meeting on May 7 is approval of the bond issuance financing team: underwriting services with Piper Jaffray, a consulting services agreement with Isom Advisors and a bond counsel agreement with Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth.

Farms Golf Club switches to recycled water for irrigation BY CITY NEWS SERVICE With drastic state-mandated water use cutbacks ordered, The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe April 30 switched over to a recycled water system to irrigate its greens and fairways, which is expected to save millions of gallons of drinking water. Until the switch, 96 percent of the 83-acre course was irrigated with potable water, according to the Olivenhein Municipal Water District. “As California regulators consider mandating specific reductions in potable water use, the timing for this conversion could not have been better,’’ said Kimberly Thorner, See WATER, page 30

Rancho Santa Fe Association Board Biz: Preserving and enhancing BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD The Mission Statement of the RSF Association Board of Directors is: “Preserve and enhance the historic, rural character and ambiance of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant community.” It’s a delicate balance. Every day I talk to people who say they moved to the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe because as soon as they entered the Covenant, they realized, “This is paradise” and “There is no place else like it.” Clearly, our quiet community speaks to people’s hearts. In an era where we all must multitask to keep our heads above water, and where turning off the noise that surrounds us often requires, literally, putting on “noise-canceling” headphones, our Covenant lifestyle represents something priceless to those of us who live here. If our mission statement were only to “preserve the historic, rural character,” that would be relatively easy to accomplish. Wouldn’t we just do nothing except keep the lush foliage of the countryside alive? Unfortunately, that isn’t so easy any more. Like any other community, when conditions change, we

Ann Boon must adapt. Today circumstances that are beyond our control demand that we think of new ways of planting and of watering our beautiful rural landscape. We are working together, as individual property owners and as a community, to find solutions to that great dilemma. So, as this challenge to the preservation of our natural surroundings becomes more daunting, how do we at the same time “enhance” our community? “Enhancing” the character and ambience of the community has always been the more challenging part of the mission statement, especially when “preservation” was more straightforward. Over time, the conditions of our community naturally change with the times. But if we find ways to enhance the community’s

assets within those conditions, its character and lifestyle can not only survive, but flourish. For example, although the quaint images from the 1940s and 1950s, with dirt roads and tied-up horses in the Village, have faded, over the years we have greatly expanded and improved our trail system. This work has allowed us to retain the “ranch-style” ambience and equestrian lifestyle that have defined us for decades. Today, Covenant residents are demanding access to high speed Internet — a utility that did not exist several decades ago. But in the modern world, access to fast, reliable Internet is not only tied to our quality of life, but also to the value of our homes. That is why we plan to enhance the Covenant by being at the leading edge of communities installing fiber optic cable to serve our members. Once installation is completed, we will ensure that virtually no visible mark has been left on our community. Yet other issues facing our community do not have clear-cut answers. For example, for many years, RSF Association boards and members have been wrestling with the question of how to improve the traffic situation

HORSE CREEK TRAIL Professional’s 12.18 Acre Equestrian Estate t

along the Paseo Delicias-Del Dios corridor. Should we install traffic lights or build roundabouts? After nearly 15 years of study and debate, the current board is poised to finally make a decision. Last week, the RSF Association hosted a town hall meeting to provide members with one more opportunity to weigh in on this question. The comments were wideranging and the concerns, passionate. As I listened to the very civil conversation, I realized that the difference in opinion was not really about lights versus roundabouts. It was about the best way to preserve and enhance our historic community. It is clear to me that neither so-

dant roof. To do nothing would leave one of your most important assets vulnerable to deterioration and ultimately to erosion of its value. The members of the RSF Association board are committed to making decisions that are faithful to its Mission Statement. We may not always agree, but we are each focused on the best long-term interests of the Covenant community. In making decisions that truly benefit the community long-term, we want to thank the growing number of residents who have contributed to the discussions, giving us a more informed ability to do so. ann.boon@me.com

Residents hope to save Village Market RSF Men’s 1st Division Soccer Team wins cup Rancho Santa Fe residents sat outside of the Village Market on Tuesday, May 5, to gather signatures in an effort to save the store, which will move out of the village by the end of 2015 after years of legal battles between the market and landlord. Wendy Walker, Chrissy Nicholas and Michelle Weinger were gathering signatures that they hoped to present to the Rancho Santa Fe Association board at its May 7 meeting (after press time for this newspaper). The group hopes the RSF Association can find the funds to purchase the market so it can remain a community resource. — Photo and report by Karen Billing

The Rancho Santa Fe Men’s First Division soccer team, managed by Mike Cobrda and Andy Strasner, won the 2014/2015 San Diego Soccer County League’s Alan Hall Memorial Cup. This was the RSF team’s inaugural year in the prestigious San Diego County Soccer League. The championship game was played at the Junior Seau Sports Complex on April 26 against SBFC Sparta. After falling behind three goals after 40 minutes of play in the first half, the RSF team rallied back to win, 4-3. Goals were scored by Jason Brady, Steve Kaufman, Ray King, and Martin Bader.

Meet the Rancho Santa Fe Association board candidates In this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rancho Santa Fe Association board election, two candidates will run for two available seats. While there are only two candidates for two seats, the Association must still go through the election process â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 75 total votes are needed for election validation. Candidates Mike Licosati and Fred Wasserman seek to fill spots vacated by Craig McAllister and Rochelle Putnam, who will leave this summer when their three-year terms expire. The Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Meeting will be held at 5 p.m. May 14 at the RSF Garden Club. Election ballots will be mailed May 14 and must be returned by 5 p.m. June 15. The ballots will be counted June 16, overseen by election inspector Bruce Bishop. On this page (in alphabetical order) are candidate biographies and answers to questions.

Mike Licosati Occupation: Investment Management Civic and Community Service: RSF Finance Committee, RSF Fiber Optic Committee, RSF Health Club Steering Committee, RSF Little League Board Member and Coach, RSF Junior Dunkers Coach (boys and girls), Pop Warner Football coach 1. Why are you running for a seat on the RSF Association board? We moved to the Ranch for its great school, large lots, open spaces and low-key active lifestyle. In short, Rancho Santa Fe is a world-class community and the opportunities we create for ourselves here should reflect that. A few years ago, however, I became aware of some financial and managerial decisions being made by our board that did not seem to reflect the priorities that our community should be setting. For

Mike Licosati example, I, along with a large number of parents, questioned whether the Garden Club purchase was a good deal for either the RSF board or the Garden Club. I was disheartened when simple questions were met with consternation rather than consideration. Since that time, I have taken an interest in other issues facing the community. I joined several committees and have worked

hard to get other neighbors and parents involved. Over the last year, I have been extraordinarily encouraged by the dedication all the board members have had to responsible leadership and community engagement. I have seen a lot of progress and a genuine attempt by our board to address the concerns of all community members in a responsible and transparent manner. Most simply, I want to be a part of the progress. 2. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF community? There are three issues facing Rancho Santa Fe today that I think need to be at the top of our list: 1. Internet and cellphone coverage: A community that is called home to some of the most respected technology innovators and See LICOSATI, page 28

Fred W. Wasserman Occupation and Civic and Community Service: I have been active in the RSF community during the past several years by serving on the Finance Committee of the RSF Association and as co-president of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. My business career includes, along with my wife, Pam, founding and managing a large health care company, owning and operating a health club, owning and managing real estate and agriculture properties, and owning and operating a winery in Sonoma County. I am currently on the board of the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, and in the past years, served on HOAs, trade associations, university and community organization boards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The RSF Covenant Community is very important to my wife and I, which is the reason that I am seeking a board position.â&#x20AC;?

Fred W. Wasserman We have two children and five grandchildren. My education includes a MBA from USC and doctorate in public health from UCLA. 1. Why are you running for a seat on the RSF Association board? I am running for a seat on the RSF Association Board of Directors to continue the trend of having an open and meaningful dialogue that welcomes participation from the community.

We have seen a significant and productive change take place on the board in recent months by moving forward with fiber-optic infrastructure, reviewing and correcting Association finances and increasing voter turnout. As a director, I will work towards the community continuing to make investments in our future while also maintaining the Ranchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic and rural character. 2. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF community? The Ranch is a wonderful and a unique place to live. Keeping that in mind, we have to look at the longterm viability of our community. Currently, the Covenant has poor Internet connectivity and is struggling to attract younger families who will continue the viability of the Ranch in the future. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses and families need communities that have different amenities than See WASSERMAN, page 28

Former poet laureateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subject matter springs from everyday life BY JOE TASH Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get Billy Collins started on the relative merits of poetry vs. prose. The former Poet Laureate of the United States was the featured speaker at the April 22 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at the Grand Del Mar Resort (see page B10 for photos). Society members read his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aimless Love,â&#x20AC;? a collection of previously published and new poems that came out in 2013. In an interview before his talk, Collins didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to expound on what he considers to be poetryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantages over prose as a literary form. For one thing, he said, poetry has a much longer history, dating to ancient times, when it was used to store and communicate vital information. In contrast, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the novel is an 18th-century creation.â&#x20AC;? Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the subject matter. While novels concern themselves with â&#x20AC;&#x153;bourgeoisâ&#x20AC;? issues, such as people marrying, jumping into bed with or killing each other, Collins said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poetryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns cut closer to the bone.â&#x20AC;? He once told a novelist friend that â&#x20AC;&#x153;poetry is a bird, and prose is a potato.â&#x20AC;? In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poetry,â&#x20AC;? Collins wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let the portly novelist with his noisy typewriter describe the city where Francine was born ... how Albert read the paper on the train, how curtains were blowing in the bedroom. Let the playwright with her torn cardigan and a dog curled on the rug move the characters from the wings to the stage â&#x20AC;Ś Poetry is no place for that â&#x20AC;Ś We are busy doing nothing â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

Candace Humber with poet Billy Collins. Photo by Jon Clark from resentment â&#x20AC;&#x153;at poetry being the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;poor little match girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of literature. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all sour grapes.â&#x20AC;? Poetry may be less popular than fiction in America, but Collins is an exception to the rule. His books have sold well, and his work has been featured prominently both on National Public Radio and in civic life. During his tenure as poet laureate, from 2001 to 2003, he read his poem, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Names,â&#x20AC;? written for the victims of the 9/11 attacks and their surviving friends and relatives, before a joint session of Congress. The poem concludes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Names lifted from a hat Or balanced on the tip of the tongue. Names wheeled into the dim warehouse of memory. So many names, there is barely room on the walls of the heart.â&#x20AC;? Collins began his working life in academia; he taught English at Lehman College in the Bronx for 35 years, and is now a professor emeritus. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t publish his first book until he was in his 40s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really the megaphone of NPR â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Terry Gross and Garrison Keillor (who host shows on the radio network) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that brought to me an audience of 3 to 4 million people. That radically changed my career,â&#x20AC;? Collins said. His topics range from a sketch of a foreign city he visited, to musings about whether different species of bird can understand each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I get paid to think about,â&#x20AC;? he said. In another poem, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quandary,â&#x20AC;? the protagonist bites into an apple and finds it â&#x20AC;&#x153;fuzzy on the inside and lacking the snap of the ripe.â&#x20AC;? He thinks about the fact that some people would be grateful to have the fruit, or want it badly enough to kill him for it, while others are â&#x20AC;&#x153;shielded from anything as offensive as a slightly imperfect apple.â&#x20AC;? The poem ends as the narrator takes a second bite and tosses the apple over a hedge, â&#x20AC;&#x153;hoping to hit on the head a murderer or one of the filthy rich out for a stroll.â&#x20AC;? Collins said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write every day, but also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go too long without putting pen to paper. His subject matter comes from things he notices or observes, from something heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s read in a newspaper, to a painting heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen in a museum. Or something his â&#x20AC;&#x153;literary personaâ&#x20AC;? has seen while sitting in a chair by the window, while sipping a cup of tea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of his job description,â&#x20AC;? Collins said.

CCA Envision students perform, win awards during memorable trip to Europe BY DIANE Y. WELCH Forty-two Canyon Crest Academy Envision students had the rare opportunity to communicate with diverse audiences through music when they recently traveled to Paris and Amsterdam. It was a six-day, whirlwind tour, packed with activities headed by Envision instrumental music coordinator Amy Villanova and Envision vocal music coordinator Anne Whatoff. The tour group included 10 parent chaperones and two family groups. A party of 56 flew from San Diego to Amsterdam on April 4 to embark on an adventure that crossed musical and cultural boundaries. The trip brought opportunities for CCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert choral and instrumental musicians to perform in several historical settings and to compete with groups from Canada, the Netherlands and California. In Amsterdam, the choir, orchestra, and band participated in an adjudicated festival held at Het Concert Gebouw (The Concert Hall), completed in 1886 as a gift to local citizens and long-famed for its acoustics. It provided a dignified setting for their performances. Each group was critiqued and rated by Christian Bohm, faculty of Sacred Heart Cathedral, San Francisco; British conductor Colin Touchin, composer in residence at UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warwick School and King Henry VIII School; and orchestral composer Johan de Meij, famed for his â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lord of the Ringsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Symphony,â&#x20AC;? said Whatoff.

The choir earned a gold award; the band earned silver; and the orchestra, bronze. In addition, CCA won the Dutch Masters Award. Groups performed in the smaller venue of Amsterdamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Engelse Kerk (English Reformed Church) on April 7 and their grand finale on April 9 was a concert â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to an audience of about 200 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at the revered Saint-Germain-des-PrĂŠs, the oldest church in Paris. The instrumental groups performed works by Vivaldi, Granger, Ticheli and Kinley Lange, and featured soloists Ryan Murphy, Alexander Zhang and Javan Tahir. The choir performed an 800-year-old Icelandic hymn. Featured solos were sung by Lauren Bitter, Guy Eckstein, Katie Finkbeiner and John Paul Welch. Beside offering the opportunity to perform in such venerable settings, the trip also included sightseeing. The group toured the Anne Frank house and saw famous works of art in Amsterdamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rijksmuseum. In Paris, the Louvre provided ample opportunity for selfies to be taken beside Da Vinciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mona Lisa.â&#x20AC;? Other stops in Paris included the Palais Garnier opera house, Basilica of SacrĂŠ-CĹ&#x201C;ur, lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Cathedral. Ed Murphy, whose son, Ryan, is a trumpet player, was one of the parents who chaperoned the students, documenting the entire trip photographically.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MAY 7, 2015 - PAGE A7

Local author shines spotlight on Medal of Honor recipient in ‘Legend’ BY JARED WHITLOCK A New York Times best-selling author, Eric Blehm is known for telling the stories of those who serve. His latest, “Legend,” recounts the experiences of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Roy Benavidez, who rescued fellow soldiers trapped behind enemy lines during the Vietnam War. While now a well-regarded military biographer, Blehm got his start in journalism as the editor of Transworld Snowboarding Magazine. It was a fitting job for the avid surfer and snowboarder, who grew up locally. Considering Blehm’s grasp of elite special operations, it may surprise some to learn that he was never in the military. “The closest I ever got to the military is when I was in school and keeping my hair cropped really short so I could drive past the guards at Pendleton and surf Del Mar jetties,” Blehm said of his youth. But he always had a deep respect for those in uniform, thanks to his parents. As a kid, his mom would share mementos from World War II to remind him of soldiers’ sacrifices. “They would always say, ‘The reason we have this freedom is people put their lives on the line so we could enjoy this life,” he said. After 9/11, Blehm knew he wanted to document the lives of those who serve. “I asked myself, ‘What’s your part in all of this? What can you do? Being a writer and an author, I thought, ‘History is happening now. I have to chronicle this.’ And at that point, they were talking a lot about the World War II veterans that were passing away. A lot of them never talked about their experiences. That struck me.” His previous book, “Fearless,” tells the real-life story of Adam Brown, who overcame drug addiction and even jail time to accomplish his childhood dream of becoming a Navy SEAL. “Fearless” has sold nearly 400,000 copies and is being turned into a Hollywood film. When Blehm came across Benavidez’s story, he knew he had his next book. “His story is the most fascinating, unbelievable story I’ve ever, ever come across,” Blehm said. “When I did my research and saw it was true, I just had to write it.” A brief overview of the day that made Benavidez a legend: Flown into battle on May 2, 1968, Benavidez jumped from a hovering helicopter and ran 100 yards through enemy fire. Even though wounded, he reached the perimeter of a decimated special forces team. Providing medical care and encouragement, he spearheaded a defense and rescue effort. Benavidez persevered through bullet, bayonet and shrapnel wounds that day to rescue fellow soldiers in a now-declassified battle. Eventually, his acts of valor earned him the Medal of Honor. His humble beginnings add to his legendary reputation. Orphaned at age 7, he was

raised by his aunt and uncle in a small Texas town. As a child, he picked cotton alongside his family after school. And being of Mexican and Yaqui Indian ancestry, Benavidez also faced prejudice and racism. Blehm said the May 2 mission, the crux of Cardiff author Eric Blehm’s the story, is in latest book, “Legend,” is many ways a microcosm of the about Staff Sgt. Roy Benavidez. “His story is the most Vietnam War. “By wrapping fascinating, unbelievable around the peo- story I’ve ever, ever come ple, the politics — across.” the good, the bad and the ugly of this mission — you get a really strong look at the Vietnam war,” he said. Blehm said another reason he wrote the book was to give young people a stronger understanding of the Vietnam War, adding that some school history books gloss over it. On the same note, “Legend” also debunks common misconceptions about Vietnam War veterans. For instance, that they were all draftees who didn’t believe in what they were fighting for. The book, he stated, is neither “pro war or anti-war — it’s just war.” “It’s raw, it’s bloody and it’s real,” Blehm said. It took Blehm two years to research and write “Legend.” To give a complete picture of Benavidez’s life, Blehm combed through countless declassified documents, carefully looked over boxes of Benavidez family letters and interviewed those who witnessed his courageous acts. “I want to preserve these stories for future generations,” Blehm said. “Their stories and legacies are a way people can learn — it’s a window into history.” For more on Blehm and a list of places to buy “Legend,” visit ericblehm.com.

TPHS student named 2015 TPHS student chosen to U.S. Presidential Scholar attend famed arts camp Melinda Wang of San Diego, who attends Torrey Pines High School, has been named as a 2015 U.S. Presidential Scholar. Wang is one of 141 outstanding American high school seniors who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, artistic excellence, leadership, citizenship, service, and contribution to school and community. The U.S. Presidential Scholars will be honored in Washington D.C., from June 21-23. “Presidential Scholars demonstrate the accomplishments that can be made when students challenge themselves, set the highest standards, and commit themselves to excellence,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. “These scholars are poised to make their mark on our nation in every field imaginable ... Their academic and artistic achievements reflect a sense of purpose that we should seek to instill in all students to prepare them for college, careers, civic responsibilities, and the challenges of today’s job market.” Since 1983, Presidential Scholars have been offered the opportunity to name their most influential teacher, who is then honored with a personal letter from the Secretary of Education. Wang chose to recognize teacher Zakia Chowdhury of Torrey Pines High School. The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars, appointed by President Obama, selects honored scholars annually based on their academic success, artistic excellence, essays, school evaluations and transcripts, as well as evidence of community service, leadership, and demonstrated commitment to high ideals.

Fire causes $12,000 in damage to RSF vehicle, garage A vehicle fire caused $12,000 in damage to a Rancho Santa Fe garage on April 29, according to the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. Firefighters from the district responded at 11:23 p.m. to the report of a vehicle fire in the 15000 block of Via del Alba in Rancho Santa Fe. Upon arrival, firefighters found a vehicle fully engulfed in flames, parked next to a detached garage. Because the fire was starting to spread to the roof of the structure, the captain requested a first-alarm response. Crews from the Del Mar, Encinitas, and Solana Beach Fire Departments worked with the Rancho Santa Fe district to quickly extinguish the fire and prevent it from further spreading to the garage. No injuries were reported. Damage to the structure and vehicle was estimated at $12,000. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

approved a $2.7 million general obligation (GO) bond with 84 percent of the vote. In March 2004, district taxpayers approved a $4.8 million GO bond with 63 percent of the vote and in February 2008, a $34 million GO bond with 71 percent of the vote. Several series of the bonds are now eligible for refunding, with a present value percentage of 5 percent, higher than the industry standard of 3 percent. Taking advantage of the near historically low interest rates, the district’s projected savings to taxpayers would be $2,143,651. On average, taxpayers in the district will save $2.19 per $100,000 of assessed valuation. “What taxpayers will save is the most important number to focus on,” said Baratta, noting the average assessed value in the district is $1.8 million, which represents a savings of about $36 a year. As President Todd Frank noted, as the district looks at the possibility in the future for a GO bond to finance the gym renovation, it makes sense to keep costs down for taxpayers. List agreed that the bond refunding is a “goodwill gesture” as they look ahead to a possible new bond on the ballot. Baratta said in 2008, Piper Jaffray sold 100 percent of the district’s GO bonds to local residents of Rancho Santa Fe. In anticipation of approval, Baratta said they would again look to RSF School District retail buyers to re-create the success of 2008. “There aren’t many school districts that carry a AAA bond rating,” said Baratta of the highest possible rating for bond issuers. “When you have a AAA-rated school district in a highwealth environment, your community members want to buy your bonds.” At its May 7 meeting, the board will also discuss the method of sale, be it a private placement of public offering. If the resolution to refund the bonds is approved, the district could be looking at a six-week time frame until the issuance date.

Patriot Profiles: When troops need to move, U.S. Marines bridge the gap This column presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patriot Profilesâ&#x20AC;? to provide readers insight into the lives of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY In the spring of 2003, Operation Iraqi Freedom was underway and 1st Marine Division troops were on the march. Keeping the enemy off-balance and retaining its tactical momentum, the division conducted an assault bridging operation on April 7 while under fire to cross the Diyala River and enter Baghdad, a city of 6 million people. Amphibious Assault Vehicles were engaged with attacking enemy forces on the opposite side of the Diyala. Two Marines were killed when one vehicle was hit. Not willing to let a river hide the enemy, Combat Engineers from 8th Engineer Support Battalion kicked into gear, creating a crossing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their bulldozers under fire. Within hours, an American flag flew over a (floating) ribbon bridge as the first Marine tanks came across. Readiness for combat? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking Marines. In March 2015, combat engineers from 1st Marine Logistics Group, Camp Pendleton, participated in a water and land bridging exercise at Lake Elsinore. Cpl. Kristopher Wickert, Bridge Company, 7th Engineer Support Battalion, helped lead the construction of an Improved Ribbon Bridge across a 490-foot span in approximately 2 1/2 hours. According to 1st Lt. Thomas Gray, public affairs officer, a corporal like Wickert can assume leadership as bridge master, which Gray defined as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a coach and quarterback â&#x20AC;Ś leading their teams through the bridge build from start to finish.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically dividing and conquering, splitting tasks â&#x20AC;Ś big tasks up into small tasks for teams and making sure each team knows their specific job in the grand scheme of things,â&#x20AC;? said Wickert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just control the madness,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;making sure everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the same page, knowing what piece is coming next, where it is going to go and how it goes together.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;madnessâ&#x20AC;? of accomplishing a massive engineering feat in a short period of time is detailed by Maj. Gen. Vincent Coglianese, commanding general, 1st Marine Logistics Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As with any military operation, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of planning involved â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the company down to the platoon level.â&#x20AC;?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also food, water, medical and security to consider and provide.

NCL chapter marks 25th anniversary The National Charity League San Diego del Norte Chapter celebrated its 25th anniversary at its April meeting with presentations from four local charities: The Family Recovery Center, Casa de Amparo, Meals-on-Wheels and the Miracle League. Pictured, L-R: Carrie Butler (San Diego del Norte NCL chapter president), Charlotte Fan (Meals-onWheels), Gianna Stone (Miracle League of San Diego), Debra Hullaby and Judy Ezratty (The Family Recovery Center), Celeste Lampro (Casa de Amparo), and Gail McComb (San Diego del Norte NCL chapter member).

or marines, and they shoot a laser and get us the distance from shore to shore.” The bridge consists of two parts — interior bays (in the middle) and ramp bays (on the end). “We line them up at the roadway lines. There are two eyelets that fit together, and once that happens, you throw ‘dog bones’ (longitudinal couplings) over and that locks the roadway. Two screws move a 3-inch pin through the eyelets that totally locks it in place and keeps it stable,” said Wickert. “There’s a lot of moving pieces when you’re out there,” he added. “There’s boats going around, bays going around, people jumping from bay to bay trying to align it.” For Wickert’s bridge team, safety depends on his “situational awareness.” Challenges that can confront are unpredictable weather and changing currents and tides. A bridge bay may not open or close right, or could get bent. When the Improved Ribbon Bridge was finished, a convoy of trucks loaded with steel parts rolled across to the site of a medium girder bridge. The challenge with land bridge construction is “physical, rather than environmental,” said Wickert. “The pieces are very heavy — the lightest one’s about 400 pounds. You have to be in pretty good shape to do that.” Wickert grew up in Winlock, Wash., playing with GI Joe figures out in his yard, where the seeds of being in the military were planted. He joined the Marines in 2011 to be a combat engineer. “I wanted to be up front. I knew combat engineers were ahead of the grunts (infantry) a lot, sweeping and doing dangerous stuff. You do a lot of things. Every day would be different.” Combat Engineering Instruction Course took about eight weeks, and much of Improved Ribbon Bridge training was “on the job.” In 2014, Wickert deployed with Combat Logistic Battalion-1 to Afghanistan. Their mission: to demilitarize. As a fire team leader, “we took down everything that was set up over the years (buildings, fences, etc., supporting all units). “I kind of prefer taking it down — it’s just quicker.” In a combat zone, Wickert had some jumps, from indirect fire to (unknowingly) walking near a controlled explosive ordnance detonation. He was down the road from an insider attack at a military training academy in Kabul — where U.S. Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene was killed and 15 NATO soldiers injured when an Afghan soldier opened fire. Four years ago, Wickert was one of the first 10 Marines in the newly established West Coast-based Bridge Company, 7th Engineer Support Battalion. Wickert’s company combined with Bridge Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, and one other, to serve the entire Marine Corps. At the time, land bridges were being done quite a bit in Afghanistan. “Blowing up bridges is a common practice with the enemy,” stated Coglianese, “especially if they’re in retreat to slow up advances of opposing forces. It’s happening right now in Iraq with ISIS blowing bridges in Tikrit. Whether the bridge is blown or there is a water crossing or gap we have to get through, we (the Marines) pride ourselves in being lightningfast in ‘maneuver warfare.’ Bridges are extremely important to maneuver forces, so we dictate where we’re coming, and not the enemy dictate or deny us access.” Cpl. Kristopher Lee Wickert has enjoyed seeing Bridge Company, 7th Engineer Support Battalion, grow from infancy, doing an outstanding job, creating many amazing crossings. “I don’t have kids, but it’s like watching your kids grow up,” he said. The bridges they build are incredibly strong. “Never had a bridge break apart.” As strong as the bridges is Wickert’s work ethic to “get things done.” As stable as his crossings are the friendships he reveres. “You have friends growing up, but they’re not like the friends you make in the Marine Corps.” As fulfilling as it is to look back on shared perseverance, even more so is the sight of an American flag on a bridge to freedom.

then home was no small feat, but it went surprisingly well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose any kids!â&#x20AC;? Murphy joked. Traveling by train from Amsterdam to Paris and back was an adventure. Some of the equipment was oversized, and hauling it through crowded streets to the station was not easy. Boarding the train, the group eventually filled an entire carriage, â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely stuffed with instruments, kids and luggage!â&#x20AC;? Murphy recalled. For music students, the logistics of transporting instruments and music stands presents an additional challenge not generally associated with school trips. Despite that, the Envision music department organizes an overseas trip every two years. Other destinations have included China and Ireland, with Australia being a strong contender for the next trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;International trips like these are valuable for our students as they get out of their bubble to hear and make music with students from around the world, perform in world-renowned venues and gain firsthand experience of other cultures,â&#x20AC;? said Villanova. They also allow students to have tangible experiences that link them to their studies in music as well as history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are seeing, feeling and experiencing the pages off their textbooks,â&#x20AC;? said Whatoff. It is also an opportunity for the music to transcend language. Music, said Whatoff, is such a great medium â&#x20AC;&#x153;to bring together people from all over, and it was amazing to watch audience members mouth the words along with some of our soloists or to watch toes tap and see their smiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t converse in Dutch or French, we were still communicating through a shared musical experience.â&#x20AC;?

R. Roger Rowe kindergartners show appreciation to ‘buddies’ Among the programs at R. Roger Rowe school is a buddy system for the kindergarten students where they are teamed with older students. This ensures the youngsters will have older friends on campus and fosters a great sense of community. Last week, Ms. Stevenson’s kindergarten class planned a surprise “Friendships in Bloom” party for their third-grade buddies where they presented hand-painted terra cotta pots and planted beautiful spring flowers in them as thank you gifts. They wanted to show their appreciation for their friendship throughout the year, as well as make an effort to keep the relationships “blooming.” The third-graders were invited to Ms Stevenson’s class and received their gifts, followed by a celebration with treats and refreshments. The buddies were surprised and grateful for the party in their honor.

‘Annie Jr.’ makes its debut at Horizon Prep “Leapin’ Lizards!” The timeless tale of Little Orphan Annie, one of the best-loved family musicals of all time, made its onstage debut in Rancho Santa Fe. “Annie Jr.,” Horizon Prep’s first Broadway-style musical, was a resounding success! Not only did the show sell out at every one of the four performances, the reviews were glowing. The joy on the faces of patrons as they exited the theater was evident. “Annie Jr.” actors and crew were made up of Horizon Prep students from grades 4 through 10. Broadway, look out! The Horizon Prep Arts Department is producing nothing but stars!

Stoked with a purpose: CCA students organize board fundraiser for ReSurf BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy students hope to help change the world one surfer at a time, getting involved with the ReSurf Project. CCA sophomore Kylie Bobertz, freshman Jiten Peiris, junior Elliot Cohen and senior Stephanie Sek organized a fundraising event for ReSurf, a sustainable mentorship program that teaches surfing to underprivileged children around the world. As ReSurf works with the local community to refurbish donated surfboards for at-risk youth, the foursome gave the old boards over to a talented class of CCA artists to work their magic. The resulting 40 works of art will be on display at a fundraising event held at noon May 31 at The Melody League in Encinitas. “We hope to connect ReSurf with the surfing community around us and help out these underprivileged kids,” said Kylie. Forty reworked surfboards The event will feature live music from CCA band Sad Muffin, barbecue food and live surfboard painting by artists will be displayed May 31 at a fundraiser at The from CCA and the community. Some of the surfboards created that day and by the CCA Melody League in art students will be auctioned off at an event in June; others Encinitas. will be donated to an orphanage in Baja Mexico. The ReSurf event was the result of a project of CCA’s regional occupation program (ROP) business management class. In the class, students learn about all aspects of running a business, work in the school café The Nest for four months and are required to form groups to start their own company. Kylie’s group developed a fundraiser rather than a business, forming partnerships not only with ReSurf, but with the art class at school to paint the surfboards. “Getting the class to do it was pretty easy; Ms. Jackson loved the idea,” Kylie said of the 40 eye-catching surfboards created by Angela Jackson’s Envision visual art class. Kylie said the most challenging part of their project was coordinating the event in between their busy schedules as teenagers. Melody League is at 1057 S. Coast Highway 101.

Teen Volunteers in Action celebrates the Class of 2015 Teen Volunteers in Action, (TVIA) SD-1 celebrated 31 graduating seniors at the Nativity School in Rancho Santa Fe at its Senior Send-Off ceremony on May 3. The majority of the graduating teens have been members of TVIA since they were in 7th grade, and collectively invested more than 2,000 hours serving the San Diego community. The graduating teens represented schools throughout San Diego, including Torrey Pines, The Bishops School, Canyon Crest Academy, Francis Parker, La Jolla Country Day, Cathedral Catholic and La Costa Canyon. The featured speaker for the event was San Diego leader and icon, Rolf Benirschke. Benirschke was the place-kicker for the San Diego Chargers from 1977 until 1986, setting 16 team records before retiring as the third most accurate kicker in NFL history. But it was a life-threatening illness that struck at the height of his football fame that became a game-changer in Rolf’s life and set him on a path to inspire and help others. Benirschke shared his inspiring story of struggle and amazing success, and the lessons learned along the way. He reminded the teens “life is a journey, not a destination,” and he used his life lessons to teach the teens “everyone of you will face challenges. You have the choice to be bitter or to get better.” He closed his speech by congratulating the youths for their commitment to TVIA and challenged them to “embrace life – the good and the bad – and go make a difference

VOLUNTEERS continued from page 24 serving others.” Each of the seniors was recognized at the event and reflected on their years of service, noting how important TVIA and community volunteerism became to them in light of their own fortunate circumstances. Adam Alsadek, a senior at Torrey Pines High School, told the audience “I tried to meet one person at each event I volunteered at with TVIA, and I found a way to make a difference in that one life.” And Justin Geier, a senior at The Bishops School, spoke of his favorite TVIA events and told the TVIA members “There is no substitute for interacting with people. Take the time to fully invest yourself in the people you are trying to help.” At the event posters of each teen were displayed showcasing the highlights of their high school years and their goals for college and beyond. In keeping with TVIA’s philanthropic mission, families donated bedding and other items before the event to be put in duffel bags for seniors graduating from San Pasqual Academy, a residential campus for foster teens. TVIA is an organization of young men committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personnel growth. TVIA (SD-1) is one of five TVIA chapters in San Diego County. More information is at www.tvia.org.

OBITUARIES

Josephine F. Schirra 1924 – 2015 Local Rancho Santa Fe resident, Jo Schirra, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on April 27, 2015. Daughter of Donald

and Josephine Fraser, sister to Jane Pickett and wife of Captain Walter M Schirra, Jo was born March 26, 1924, and raised in Seattle, Washington, until she was a teenager and her widowed mother remarried. Becoming a Navy Junior, she then attended a different school almost every year including two years in Shanghai, China, where she was a champion diver, and a year in Coronado. Graduating, she attended Mills college then joined her family on the east coast. Jo married her husband, Wally Schirra, in 1946 and that’s when the real adventure began. She was very proud to be a Navy wife and the wife

of one of the original seven Astronauts. Jo and Wally were married 62 wonderful, joyous and exciting years until he passed away in 2007. Jo was known for both her sense of humor and her sense of style. She was a sun worshipper with a great love of nature and all outdoor sports. She loved the mountains, wildlife and wild ﬂowers of Colorado but the ocean had an even stronger hold. Leading ﬁrst to a wonderful home in Kauai and then a permanent move to Rancho Santa Fe in 1984. Jo and Wally continued to travel the world but were always happiest back home enjoying their wonderful home and backyard with

their dogs which they referred to as their own private resort. Jo has entered Wally’s orbit now. Her ashes will be sprinkled in the Paciﬁc off San Diego and Kauai eventually meeting up with Wally’s in the sea. She is survived by her son, Walter M Schirra lll of San Francisco; daughter, Suzanne Schirra of Vail, Colorado; and her sweet Yellow Lab, Caddis. Donations in Jo’s name can be made to The Nature Conservancy, the National Parks Foundation or The Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Letters to the editor/opinion Pools have problems, and timing is bad for this one I read the comments, pros and cons, in the RSF Review about the Pool and Fitness Center. As a resident of the Ranch for 23 years and enjoying the lifestyle of living here, I can tell you I am seriously opposed to building such a facility, for several reasons. There are so many pools in private homes where two or three families can meet. There also are workout rooms in many homes that rival many commercial fitness centers. When I was in high school and college, I worked as a lifeguard in the summer for a community pool and I can tell you from firsthand experience, that the following is true: the noise is always an issue all day long, the parking was always a problem and the pool staff became big outdoor babysitters all summer long. I also agree with Ole Prahm: The timing of the project is very bad, considering the ongoing drought, especially since we live in an area that is prone to water shortage and we are criticized for overconsumption. One of the most attractive reasons I live in Rancho Santa Fe is that it is not like a lot of “planned communities” — it is a rural area and less structured. To have a community pool, for me is a costly step backwards and a waste of community resources. We need a market, not a pool! Bill McNally. Rancho Santa Fe

Thoughts after the roundabout/traffic light meeting Here are a few thoughts after the Roundabout/Traffic Light Meeting 4/29/15. I was: 1. Disappointed that the county will not consider the traffic light design that is at Calzada del Bosque. It seems rural to me and fits in with Covenant design. 2. Interested in the fact that roundabouts are designed to slow people down, whereas some want them built to speed the traffic flow up. 3. Amazed about the contrast between the speaker who feels the roundabouts will be a focal positive boundary for Rancho Santa Fe, and the speaker who said his wife fears for her safety getting out of the driveway on Paseo Delicias. Aesthetics vs. quality of life. 4. Intrigued by the “Do Nothing” group who figures we wait until the county has the funds and then we intervene with our plan. 5. Thankful for the group that spent their own time and money to analyze the roundabout and traffic lights to conclude that roundabouts are not the way to go. I concur. Maureen Sage Resident of Via de la Valle at the proposed intersection

Is it safe for us to be drinking water that contains ammonia? I have a hobby of growing fish at my home. Last week, a couple of my fish became sick because of the high level of ammonia at 3.5 ppm (the fish tolerance for ammonia should be 0-0.5 ppm). I changed onethird of the water from the tap and hoped to lower the level of ammonia. No result. Then I changed half of the water in a couple of days, and still no result. Out of frustration, I got rid of all the water from the fish tank and poured in all brand-new tap water. The water is clean and clear and I thought it was the time to put the fish back. Surprisingly enough, the ammonia level was still at a high of 2.0 ppm. I took some water into a bottle and rushed to a fish store called Fish Haven in Escondido for a second opinion. The manager tested the sample himself and also documented a result of 2.0 ppm. We were both confused. Where does the ammonia come from? He then went to test the tap water in his store, and the ammonia level was 2.0 ppm! I called my wife to do the test at home: 2.0 ppm. Out of curiosity, I called one of my friends in Carmel Valley to test their tap water, and the result was the same. I tested the bottled water and the ammonia level is 0 ppm. We then called each city’s water administrative office. Our question

was very simple: “Is it safe for human beings to drink water with 2.0 ppm ammonia?” So far, there is no answer, yet. I have a habit of trying to dig and dig until I can find the truth. I then called the American Association of Poison Control Centers. Instead of giving me a direct answer, that gentleman beat around the bush by asking, “Are you sick now? Were you sick since you moved to San Diego area three years ago?” I just couldn’t get a straight answer! Then I used Google and found the following post online, “How is ammonia harmful to health” from Oregon Department of Human Services: “Ammonia is toxic to some fish and other aquatic organisms at concentrations below 1 mg/l (ppm) in water.

Rant with Randi: Where’s our moral compass? BY RANDI CRAWFORD I had the confluence of two events take place in one day and couldn’t resist the urge to write about them. I was sitting in my car, waiting for a tumbling session to end, when an incensed woman came running towards me. When she got close enough, I could finally hear that she was yelling for me to move because she was in a hurry and I was blocking her. It turned out that there was a car directly to my right, and he was blocking her. Realizing her error, she changed direction and started screaming at this guy, and the next thing I know, he gets in his car and moves it out of her way. After he moved his car, he gave me a goofy look and told me that he was the high school football coach and just needed that spot for a few minutes to unload gear. I said, “Way better you than me. I would never have moved my car for someone who screamed at me like that.” She was unreasonable, irrational, and just plain rude. The whole incident put a bad taste in my mouth. Later that evening, I was doing my usual scan of the news and happened to catch a video of a reporter going off on a garage attendant. If you haven’t seen it, here is a general idea: An ESPN reporter, Britt McHenry, went to dinner, and while she was eating, her car got towed. I’m human, I get it, nobody wants to have his or her car towed. But this reporter went on a tirade, in a very personal and inhumane manner, to a garage attendant who was simply doing her job. Here is some of what she said: “I wouldn’t work at a place like this. It makes my skin crawl even being here. I have a brain, you don’t. Maybe if I were missing teeth, they would hire me too. I’m in television, you’re in a trailer, honey.” And my personal favorite, “Lose some weight, baby girl.” Now I don’t know about you, but on my worst day, in my worst hour, at my lowest low, my brain still has a filter that would physically not allow my mouth to utter those atrocities towards another person. But wait, this is 2015 and everyone forgives. Britt McHenry later tweeted out to her followers, “In an intense and stressful moment, I allowed my emotions to get the best of me and said some regrettable and insulting things. I am sorry for my actions and will learn from my mistakes.” Hmm, sounds

pretty disingenuous to me. What makes this worse is that she knew she was being filmed. At one point, she looked directly into the camera, and just kept spewing her venom. You look at her and she’s clearly young and beautiful. I’m going to go out on a limb and hypothesize that she hasn’t faced a lot of obstacles in her life. Her behavior clearly reflects her belief that she can treat people with utter disrespect. I have so many questions for these two women. I want to start with — what makes you so important and better than everyone else that they should cater to you? Is this your parents’ fault? Did you get everything you ever wanted as a child and don’t know how to accept “no”? Is this simply a case of bad manners? Is this teaching our kids that they can attack someone and then apologize on social media and it will all be OK? Do we need to add a class on “good manners” to our current school curriculum, or is this learned at home? To add insult to injury, Britt McHenry got suspended from her job for one week. To me, this is as disappointing as her behavior. Is ESPN out of their minds? This gal should have been fired on the spot. We will absolutely never watch or support this girl on ESPN in our home. My hope is that collectively, as a society, we start to hold people accountable for their actions. I’m sick of reading social media apologies that publicists write in order to get their celebrity clients out of trouble. The next time Kanye West runs on stage to ruin the moment for the real Grammy winner (e.g.,Taylor Swift), stop downloading his music. If you get mad at something, stop supporting it, period. That’s two articles in a row — I’m really hoping my next rant is something on a much more positive note. Are you as fed up as I am? Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.

SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update: Bond, enrollment, more Superintendent Rick Schmitt regularly updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through local media with a monthly update. Topics will include curriculum, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s topics: our 2nd Prop AA bond issuance, a HS enrollment survey, and celebrating staff. Prop AA 2nd Bond Issuance This summer will see the start of our Rick Schmitt next round of major school construction projects funded by Proposition AA. Projects include demolition and reconstruction of Earl Warren Middle School, building new math and science classrooms at San Dieguito HS Academy, science classroom renovations and technology upgrades throughout Torrey Pines High School, as well as media center enhancements and other site improvements at Oak Crest Middle School. The first classroom buildings at our newest school, Pacific Trails Middle School, will also be completed over the summer to prepare for opening day this fall. We recently issued $117 million in bonds to fund building projects for the next three years. The strength of the property values in our community and the District’s history of cautious financial management led to a credit rating upgrade for this sale. We issued only current interest bonds (no CABs) and limited the term to 25 years. This conservative strategy kept within our estimated tax rate of $25 per $100,000 of assessed value and resulted in a low payback ratio for the bonds of only 1.7 to 1, which is lower than many mortgages. Finally, I would like to thank the Prop AA Independent Citizens Oversight Committee members who represent the community to ensure we spend bond funds cost effectively and only on projects promised to the voters. They recently completed their annual report which will be posted online at www.sduhsd.net/ICOC following Board acceptance on May 7th. High School Enrollment Our ongoing work around high school enrollment processes continues to progress. Since March we’ve hosted six public workshops designed to both educate and seek feedback from the community about enrollment processes and options. We had over 220 K-12 parents and community members attend these workshops which shared information about the history of high school enrollment in SDUHSD, outlined state law around school enrollment, discussed the role of demographics and community facilities districts (Mello-Roos) in school enrollment, and presented various enrollment options for feedback. Over the last two weeks, we also surveyed current 8th grade students and families regarding the factors that influenced their decision in choosing a high school for 2015-16 as this data informs our thinking around future high school enrollment options and programs at our high schools. Our next steps will be to survey our community about various options for enrolling students in our high schools. We expect to send invitations to this online survey to families by mid-May. After receiving this feedback, we will compile the work of the High School Enrollment Study Group, the feedback from the public workshops, and the feedback from the surveys and present this information to our school board and the community this summer, giving the board time to review and discuss all of the information before making a decision about any changes in our practices or policy. If any changes occur, the earliest that would take

place would be the 2016-17 school year. Celebrate Employees As superintendent of our world-class school district, it is important to me to recognize and celebrate our dedicated employees and the huge impact each and every one has on each student and their middle and high school experience. Those experiences include academics, extra- and cocurricular activities and school culture. Without our employees’ tireless work and ability to adapt to our changing needs, we would not be the outstanding school district we are today. By most any measure, a good educational experience includes staff partnering with parents to prepare students for the post-high school opportunities and challenges that may lie ahead. Every member of the SDUHSD’s team is essential to delivering the high quality education our students deserve and our San Dieguito families expect. This includes teachers, secretaries, custodians, coaches, food services staff, network technicians, counselors, bus drivers, psychologists, administrators, campus supervisors, health techs, library techs, registrars, accountants, construction managers, and many more. SDUHSD has over one thousand part- time, full-time and seasonal employees. Hopefully you will have an opportunity to thank an employee before the year ends. Our employees are grateful for the opportunity to work with your/our children. I know I speak for all our employees when I say, “It truly is a privilege to work for the San Dieguito Union High School District.” You can follow Superintendent Schmitt on Facebook, (https://www.facebook.com/ sduhsd), and Twitter, (https:// twitter.com/SDUHSD_Supt

CEOs in the world should have a quality infrastructure. Today, we don’t. Fixing the problem will increase our home values and the quality of life for all of us as our businesses and personal lives become more and more reliant on connectivity. 2. The health club and pool: There has been a lot of work towards putting in a new health club and pool. Whenever we take on a project of this size, we need to make sure the entire community is involved in the decision-making process and that we proceed only when we are confident the decision is financially sound and the benefits to the community are widespread. 3. Water usage and supply: From our golf course to our homes, California’s water problem has hit us in Rancho Santa Fe very hard. Worse, our community has been referred to in state and national press as an example of “over-users.” We need to explore as many water innovations as possible so that Rancho Santa Fe is referred to as part of the solution, not the problem. 3. How would you propose to address those issues? The most important part of addressing any issue is making sure all the stakeholders are heard. Often times, the entire community is a stakeholder — like the issues I discussed above. In these situations, it is critical that our community is involved in the conversations that lead to action. In that regard, it is important that we actively reach out to the community to inform them of any proposed actions, that we listen to any concerns over those actions, and that we think critically about the concerns and how we address them before we start paving a path forward. Too often, I believe, we are accustomed to looking at issues through a zero-sum lens. What I mean by this is that politics on a larger level has traditionally created “sides” of any major issue and presupposed that “one side wins” and “one side loses.” I simply don’t agree with this perspective of policy progress. The purpose of our board is to make the community better for everyone. The board’s mission, for example, is to “preserve and enhance” our Covenant. When we open the discussion to more people, we often find that we are less in disagreement than a quick “for or against” vote generally suggests. Given the opportunity to address any major issue facing the Rancho Santa Fe community, I will suggest that we will be a better community in the end by starting with this perspective. 4. Do you agree with the way the RSF Association operates? If not, what changes do you think will be needed? I think the RSF Association over the last year has operated with a level of transparency, inclusion, and unity that is very positive for the community. I am excited to be a part of the progress. Of course, there is always opportunity to improve. For example, almost 25 percent of our community members are still not registered to vote. One thing we could do is to explore ways to get these 25 percent more interested and involved. 5. How do you think your experience can help some of the issues facing the RSF Association? I practiced securities law in Los Angeles for eight years and then earned an MBA from the University of Chicago. Since that time, I worked in investment banking in New York, and in 2002, co-founded an investment management business, Alder Capital. In short, my experience, education, and business are all about investing wisely. As someone who is constantly measuring potential risk/reward and assessing potential value, I think I can help the RSF Association think more long-term as we consider proposals to problems facing us today.

they did 10 years ago. I think that collectively, we need to evaluate ways that we can move the Ranch into the 21st century without compromising the qualities that we hold so dear. 3. How would you propose to address those issues? As a director, I will work to implement a broadband fiber-optic network throughout the Covenant. I think that it is imperative that we invest in fiber-optic infrastructure. Having a broadband network is not only a convenient amenity for residents, and it is becoming increasingly important to people who work out of their home. By completing this project, the Association will also be ensuring that we are competitive in terms of our technology infrastructure well into the future, while also creating a competitive marketplace where Internet service content providers compete for our business. 4. Do you agree with the way the RSF Association operates? If not, what changes do you think will be needed? Over the past year I have been very encouraged by the direction the board has taken. I believe that this board has demonstrated an ability to operate in a transparent manner that considers the needs of the whole community. Because of this, more Association members have been involved in community issues, and we are moving forward with projects that are needed and will add value. As a director, I will take extra care to ensure that I am accessible and responsive to the residents of the Ranch so that we may continue on our trend of responsible representation and governance. 5. How do you think your experience can help some of the issues facing the RSF Association? My background includes managing a large health care company, running agricultural and health club companies. I have been involved as a director and officer in HOAs, and other community organizations. As a director, my focus will be to consider the financial impact, strategic value and community input when making decisions that affect our community.

district general manager. “OMWD has been committed to reducing our reliance on imported water, and this is yet another step toward fulfilling that goal.’’ While the club spent around $200,000 on the conversion, it will eventually pay for itself because recycled water is less expensive than drinking water, according to the district. The State Water Resources Control Board is determining specific cutback levels for water agencies across California because of the continuing drought, in order to meet Gov. Jerry Brown’s demand for an overall 25 percent reduction. The restrictions were made final at meetings last Tuesday and Wednesday.

ideal, and the question is, given the pros and cons of each alternative, which is the better fit for the community long-term?” Roberts said. At the May 7 meeting, the board has two options: certifying the county’s environmental impact report, which would preserve roundabouts and signals as solutions; or recommending that the county certify traffic signals instead of roundabouts. Since signals are less costly at $1.5 million versus the $6 million roundabouts, the funding for signals could be identified and construction could commence in the next two years. A funding source for the roundabouts has not yet been identified, so construction might not occur for at least five or six years. The three roundabouts are proposed at the intersections of El Camino del Norte, La Valle Plateada/El Montevideo and Via de la Valle. The diameter of the roundabouts is 111 to 114 feet. Each would have a 16-foot-wide travel lane with a 12- to 15-foot mountable apron to allow larger trucks to drive on to get through. Residents off the Paseo Delicias thoroughfare have an extremely difficult time trying to exit onto the road. The traffic has been described as “unbearable” during peak hours and “scary” and “dangerous” at its worst. Resident Daniel Bunn said most commuters on the corridor are passing through, as the Ranch roads are the only alternative in this region, largely because of the removal of Highway 680 from the County Circulation Element in 1989. The highway was planned to run from Encinitas to Rancho Bernardo. “Too much time has been spent enduring this daily problem. As soon as signals are installed, it will reduce delays and improve our quality of life,” Bunn said. Resident Philippe Charat said to avoid Paseo Delicias, there is a lot of cut-through traffic on Lago Lindo, Avenida de Acacias, Mimulus and La Valle Plateada. “If you live on the other side of the Ranch, this means nothing to you, because you’re not impacted,” Charat said. “I think we have to look out for each other. People on these streets are seriously impacted and it’s just going to go from bad to worse.” Resident Sam Ursini, who led a group that did extensive research on the intersection, gave a presentation on 10 facts about roundabouts. Ursini said roundabouts infringe on private property, while signals are all within the county right-of-way. He also noted that roundabouts cost four times more than signals and that the construction of the roundabouts is anticipated to take 18 months and will cause major detours and delays. The impact of the construction was deemed significant and unmitigatable in the

environmental impact report: Detoured traffic on Ranch roads will bump the 1,700 average daily trips up to 9,200 average daily trips. The Covenant’s only signal, at Calzada del Bosque and Via de la Valle, has been there for 17 years without negative impact, Urisini said. He said they found there have been only two accidents in 2,000 days, and both were in daylight hours. The new signals could be attractively designed to be match the Ranch’s character, and the lighting can be designed to have minimal effect on surrounding residences. Ursini said the lights could also be sequenced for better performance. The property that will be most affected by the roundabouts is the Village Church. Don MacNeil of the church spoke of the “truly damaging” effects on their property —the church would lose about 23 spaces in its parking lot, and all four driveways will be negatively affected, with exiting and entering made more dangerous. MacNeil has said that the church must also incur costs to repair its parking lot and retaining walls, redo its driveways and to cover the high expense of moving dry and wet utilities. “Despite our country atmosphere, we have to deal with a big-city problem, and that’s traffic,” MacNeil said. “We can’t make a big-city mistake and install roundabouts … it’s a mistake that never goes away.” Those who support roundabouts favor the preservation of Rancho Santa Fe’s rural character, and want to avoid the “ugly” 30-foot-high stanchions of traffic signals, with light “crashing down” and violating the dark-sky policy. Resident Rich Branson said if he had been asked a year ago, he was against roundabouts; but since joining the Intersection Committee, he has changed his mind. He has seen roundabouts working effectively in Santa Clarita, with a size similar to Rancho Santa Fe’s proposed circles. “I can tell you, it’s a smooth process,” Branson said. “Roundabouts are the way to go.” Martin Wilson, who built his home in the Ranch 50 years ago, said roundabouts will alert people driving through to get someplace else that they are traveling through a special place — to slow down and appreciate what Rancho Santa Fe is. “Roundabouts will make a difference, and that’s what we ought to be thinking about. Where we live is different. It’s different from the surrounding areas,” Wilson said. “This is our last opportunity to make a difference, this is our last opportunity to define the Covenant. “Roundabouts are not that common. Neither is the Covenant.”

American folk art treasures find breathing room at Mingei

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT The Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park’s latest exhibition, “Self-Taught Genius,” is a tribute to three centuries of American creativity. This selection of 100-plus treasures from the American Folk Art Museum in New York is on a five-city national tour, and the Mingei is its only West Coast stop. “Self-Taught Genius” features a range of media and styles that will knock your socks off, if you’re wearing socks. Standing before an eight-foot-tall model of the Empire State Building, meticulously crafted out of tiny, interlocking blocks of wood by an unidentified artist, one visitor exclaimed: “I can’t believe no one knows who did this!” “The story is, it was made by an ironworker who actually worked on the building, that he made it in his New Jersey basement, but we’re not really certain,” said Stacy Hollander, the exhibit’s lead curator, who flew in for the Mingei members’ opening April 17. “We just know it was done before the antenna was added, because the piece has no antenna. And there are no nails or glue holding it together. It’s an amazing feat!” Hollander, who started as an intern at the American Folk Art Museum 27 years ago and is now senior curator and director of exhibitions, came up with the concept for “Self-Taught Genius.” “Self-taught doesn’t mean untaught,” she explained. “These artists are as masterful as any fine artists. And once we had the concept, the art works kind of selected themselves.” She said the exhibit, first shown in New York and then at the Figge Art Museum in Iowa, Flag Gate by unidentified artist, circa 1876 “takes on a different kind of life in each space, since we allow each institution a lot of flexibility in how they arrange the pieces. And it’s very exciting now to see it here.” The Folk Art Museum’s executive director, Anne-Imelda Radice, also at the Mingei opening, agreed. “I love this institution, and I think the director is one of the best in the country,” she said. “I’m on the board of trustees here, which is very unusual for a museum director, but I’m proud of it, and we hope to be doing other projects together in the future.” The exhibit is beautifully presented, taking over almost the whole second floor. “These

Art couples Ryan Hietbrink and Christine Knoke (Mingei chief curator/director of exhibitions), and Gayle Kauihou and Dave Hampton (mid-century art curator), with a piece by Mary Smith from one of her “yard shows.” Photos by Maurice Hewitt are iconic pieces, so we gave them as much space as possible,” Mingei director Rob Sidner said. “They needed breathing room.” He added that they borrowed extensively from the Folk Art Museum for their inaugural show in Balboa Park in 1996. Founded in 1978 by Martha Longenecker, who developed the ceramics department at SDSU, the Mingei was originally located in University Town Center. Its name, meaning “art of the people,” was coined by one of her mentors, Japanese art historian Soetsu Yanagi, who believed in the importance of art “made by the many for the many.” In 2006, when Longenecker retired as director, Sidner, on staff since 1993, took over. He has greatly expanded the museum’s budget and collection ever since. The Mingei now has about 120,000 visitors a year, including 8,000 schoolchildren. “In today’s culture, so focused on celebrity and what things cost, we encourage discovery, finding beauty for yourself in the things around you,” Sidner said. “We show art that integrates head, heart and hands, because that’s what we’re all trying to do, become whole human beings.” “Self-Taught Genius: Treasures from the American Folk Art Museum” is on view through Aug. 16 at the Mingei International Museum, 1439 El Prado, Balboa Park. The museum is open 10 a.m.to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday, Admission: $7-$10 (free on third Tuesdays). Call 619-239-0003; visit mingei.org/exhibition/self-taught-genius.

Local playwright plans to stage his hangman musical, ‘Rope,’ in San Diego BY PAT SHERMAN For local playwright Mark Sickman, seeing a production go from page to stage means paying close attention to what theater companies are looking for at a given moment. “It’s a difficult situation for the local playwright,” said the retired Chicago and San Diego advertising professional, who also runs a website for people who write sports-themed poetry, baseballbard.com. “People like me are writing and scrambling to make contacts and to get our work through the door of the theaters. The theaters, on the other hand, are overwhelmed with submissions. You have to go where you think your work is going to be accepted.” Although Sickman has submitted to local companies, and has at times had his work accepted, he casts a wide, thoughtful net. “There are theaters all over the country looking for work,” he said. “I subscribe to a number of industry publications and newsletters, and there are websites where they have listings of theaters that are looking for (specific types of ) submissions.” That sense of focused diligence has paid off for Sickman, who has had his plays and musicals produced from Los Angeles to Lewisburg, W. Va., and, most recently, at Robert Moss Theater in New York City’s East Village, where his musical “Rope” entered the finals of the Venus Theater Festival, garnering four awards. Sickman received word last November that “Rope” had been accepted into the festival while he was doing a staged reading (without sets or full costumes) of “Rope” at San Diego’s Tenth Avenue Arts Center, where he also plans to do a full production of the musical in March 2016. “Having done the reading here first made it a little bit easier to do the production in New York,” he said. “It was very fortuitous.” Mark Sickman Like several of Sickman’s other works, including “Kiss Them and Wish Them Goodbye” (staged at Coronado Playhouse), “Rope” is based on historical events. His musical “Greenbrier” was set in a luxury resort near the Allegheny Mountains during World War II, where 1,000 Axis personnel and their families were detained for nearly six months. It received standing ovations and sold out the theater several nights when performed in Lewisburg. Written last year, “Rope” is based loosely on the story of George Maledon, a hangman who oversaw the executions of more than 60 convicted criminals, landing him the moniker “The Prince of Hangmen.” “He really was very good at his job,” Sickman said. “He had a catchphrase, ‘justice with dignity.’ What that meant to him was that the prisoner had to be made as comfortable as possible, to be put completely at ease — no sudden movements, nothing frightening. These

He actually conceived of the prisoner as a partner in the event.” Although the real George Maledon worked in the federal court of Judge Isaac Parker in Fort Smith, Ark., Sickman’s character, William Maledon, plies his trade throughout the southwestern United States. The setting is 1895 in Summit City, Ariz., where Maledon is set to hang his last man, a convicted murderer. While Sickman eschews the typical spectacle of public executions, his wife, Mildred, revels in the spotlight she has created for herself as the “hangman’s wife,” and is vehemently opposed to her husband’s impending retirement.

RSF Outdoors Club holds Desert Camp gathering in Joshua Tree Led by our fearful leader, Josh “The Ghost” Moss, the Rancho Santa Fe Outdoors Club (ROC) went on its fourth annual Desert Camp in Joshua Tree recently. As any great leader does, he set a solid example and the best example for camping is to “Leave nothing but footprints.” The Moss Clan did even better than that. They didn’t even leave footprints. A couple of dozen other ROCstars enjoyed the beautiful weather. Unfortunately, none of the ROCstars from “Effin Forest” (EFOC) were able to make it, but the rest persevered. With the location near Twentynine Palms and some of our members with a military background, the theme tended toward military. Nicknames were assigned and the events rolled on — setting up tents, climbing boulders, finding lizards and frogs, nighttime scorpion hunts, hiking up Rattlesnake Canyon, filtering and drinking rainwater, skits about desert dangers, tending the campfire, making s’mores, collecting animal bones, stargazing, smoking a full pig, eating pig tongue, cleaning their own dishes, purposely getting lost and finding their way back to camp, campfire bread cooking and making forts. And as with any military exercise, there were casualties — a few bruises, scrapes and ripped pants — but all returned home safe and sound. Kids were told bedtime stories by Navy Seal Team 5 Member “Beef” Drexler. His stories usually started with “Have you heard of a country called Iraq? Well, one day ...” The kids didn’t sleep much. Tom “Porky” Wagner brought along a smoker for a full pig, which all enjoyed, especially the Malter kids. Evan Malter earned his nickname “Zip” less for a play on his new company’s name and more for the amount of effort he puts into camping and meal preparation. Craig “Whitey” Garner ensured all kids had shade or were smothered in sunscreen every 7 minutes. He claimed that he did so out of fear of retribution. From whom, we were unsure. Jan “Tex” Brandrup kept things rolling with stories of German occupation and by hiding glow sticks in everyone else’s backpacks. Jeff “Ninja” Slosar earned his nickname for his ability to silently slip away from a campfire for the confines of his tent. Unlike at past Joshua Tree events, no tents blew away, even with peak gusts up to 28 mph. But true to all ROC events, we did learn many, many things about the surroundings and life in general. As for the surroundings, we learned all about monzogranite and why the rocks were good climbing rocks, about the Big Dipper and other constellations, and about cacti. As for life in general, the kids learned about staying together as a team when hiking. Zip continued our education, explaining that nearly half of all Navy Seals are Jewish. Porky explained that he was not Jewish. We learned from Bear Golden that his “dad hates camping” and rather than camp, “They send me to Missouri for a $20K summer camp.” We also learned that animals in the wild do not actually eat bologna, but rather, use it as protection from the elements. We learned that The Ninja, strangely enough, is not good at estimating time. Zip put on a negotiation class with other campers when he learned that he and Porky had inadvertently set up tents on their site. As the negotiations dragged on, Porky showed up briefly, pointing to empty sites just up the road, telling them that “You will like them.” The negotiations ended abruptly with a broad smile from Porky and less broad smiles from the other campers. The event ended as they all do, with kids claiming they didn’t have enough time to play and explore, wanting to stay longer, while the dads dreamt of sleeping in a real bed.

The Vocal Ensemble performs in San Francisco’s historical Saint Ignatius Church during the Festival of Gold.

Pacific Ridge School music ensembles win gold at National Music Festival The Pacific Ridge School Jazz/Rock and Vocal Ensembles were each awarded highest honors for their performances during the 2015 San Francisco Music Festival. More than 1,400 student musicians from high schools around the country attended the April 10-13 event to showcase their talent before a panel of nationally renowned judges. Groups that receive Gold ratings also earn invitations to perform in the WorldStrides Heritage Performance Elite Series the following year. The Pacific Ridge Vocal Ensemble, which has maintained a Gold rating since 2010, performed at the San Francisco Music Festival and the San Francisco Festival of Gold during the trip. Ten Pacific Ridge vocalists, out of more than 400 students, were selected to the Festival of Gold Honor Choir. As part of the Elite Series experience, participants have the opportunity to perform in some of the nation’s most storied venues. This year, the ensemble performed in San Francisco’s historical St. Ignatius Church. Previously, the group has performed at Orchestra Hall at the Chicago Symphony Center and New York City’s Carnegie Hall.

The Pacific Ridge Jazz/Rock Ensemble, in its first performance at a music festival, supplemented its Gold rating with an Adjudicator’s Award — given to groups that receive a score higher than 92 from any individual judge. Also, Pacific Ridge pianist Ben Gottesman (Class of 2015) received the Maestro Award for outstanding individual performance within the ensemble. The Pacific Ridge Jazz/Rock Ensemble is directed by Steve Morrel. The Vocal Ensemble is directed by Aaron Mitchell and Steve Dziekonski. “It’s wonderful to see the students’ hard work and talent recognized on a national level,” said Dziekonski, who also serves as the Pacific Ridge Music/Arts Program Facilitator. “The fact that Jazz/Rock Ensemble received a Gold rating at its first music festival appearance, and that Vocal Ensemble has upheld a Gold standard for the last six years, is particularly impressive.”

The Council members were moved by Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech and raised up â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donate Lifeâ&#x20AC;? placards to show their support of organ donation.

Rhoades School student addresses SD Council on importance of organ Luke Pusateri, a middle school student at The Rhoades School, addressed the San Diego City Council on April 28 about the importance of organ donation, a subject with which his family is acutely familiar. Six months ago, Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Lee Ann, was just months away from succumbing to pulmonary fibrosis when she received word that an organ had become available for her. Mrs. Pusateri immediately underwent double lung transplant surgery, a procedure that saved her life. Luke compellingly shared with council members his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience, highlighting the fact that this organ donation not only saved his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, but also significantly affected his and his younger sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Luke informed the council members that in the last year, close to 100 San Diegans died while waiting for an organ transplant and spoke of his relief was that his mother wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pulmonary fibrosis is an autoimmune disease that kills 40,000 Americans each year, the exact same number as breast cancer. Lung transplant is one of the only options available to these victims,â&#x20AC;? Luke told the council. He went on to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;People often hear the stories of the person who received the transplant, but I wonder if they know the impact it makes on their families. I lived with the fear and uncertainty of waiting for a donor, wondering if the

Rotarians at work on the San Dieguito River Park present the park rangers with checks totaling $1,000.

Elizabeth Christensen, Heather Manion, Jamile Palizban, Dee House

Clubs collaborate to celebrate Rotarians at Work Day Rotarians from the Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe clubs met at the the San Dieguito River Park trailhead at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 25, to plant four native species including cottonwood, bush sunflower, monkey flower, and white sage for a grand total of 258 native plants. Beautification of the trail entrance and interface of San Andres Drive with the Coast to Coast Trail will make the park more welcoming to the community and those who enjoy the trail. Native trees and vegetation provide habitat to encourage more native wildlife species and provide a natural screen from

the urban interface and eventually trap trash from the street and adjoining shopping center. Rotarians at Work Day is celebrated around the world on the last Saturday in April. Begun in 2006, as joint effort between two Rotary Districts, one in the United States and one in Mexico, clubs identify handson projects designed to benefit their local communities. Twenty members of the two clubs participated and each club presented a check for $500 to the San Dieguito River Park to assist it in further conservation efforts. Photos by Jon Clark

To your health: Do your homework when it comes to choosing nutritional supplements BY ROBERT BONAKDAR, M.D. Patients are curious about supplements, and with good reason. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half of all Americans regularly take a nutritional supplement. Supplements are an emerging issue for both patients and physicians. Patients need to recognize that supplements can be quite potent and may interact with other drugs. Physicians need to create an open environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their supplement choices. Here are some thoughts that can help guide this conversation. Q: Do people need nutritional supplements? A: There is no one-size-fits-all solution. For example, vitamin B-12 absorption declines as we age and deficiency may accelerate cognitive decline. This is one reason the Institute of Medicine recommends supplemental B-12 for people older than 50. Many can get the extra B-12 through fortified foods, but some will need supplementation based on their diet and medical history. Supplements should be prescribed based on need and scientific evidence. Many incorporate supplements on an ad hoc basis. They get a recommendation from a friend or see an article and decide it can help them. This is an opportunity for physicians. Why does the patient feel they need a supplement? What is missing from their care that makes them reach for the bottle? Q: Are supplements safe and well regulated? A: If a supplement has any activity at all, its potential positive and negative effects should be taken seriously. There are wide variations in potency, purity and processing. People need to ask critical questions: Has it been tested, and found beneficial, in humans? How long has it been on the market? There have been supplements found to be illegally adulterated with prescription medication. More recently, the New York attorney general DNA-tested herbal supplements from several large stores and found many to be deficient of key ingredients. This has created great controversy, including the validity of the testing. What it points to again is picking supplements carefully. We should not just pick out supplements, like a bottle of shampoo, on the way to the sock aisle. We should carefully reflect on why we are considering the supplement, discuss it with a provider and come up with a formulation that has proof of safety and benefit. This takes time and energy, but should be similar to the effort we place on making other important choices about our health care and treatments. Another consideration is drug interactions. Although not a widespread phenomenon, certain combinations need to be kept in mind and minimized. St. John’s wort can help with depression, but can also interfere with antidepressants, as well as oral contraceptives. Other supplements interact with blood thinners. Careful consideration can be the difference between finding a supplement that causes problems and one that is helpful. Patients must fully disclose their supplements, and physicians need to approach the topic without rancor. A patient who has been “supplement-shamed” may never mention it to any physician, damaging trust and diminishing care. It’s vital for physicians to open the discussion and provide important information to clarify a supplement’s pros and cons. Q: Setting aside supplements, what can people do to boost their health? A: Supplements are just that — supplements to our diet and lifestyle. But there are many simple ways to improve health. First, sit less. The average American sits 13 hours a day, which generates inflammation and reduces lifespan by as much as three years. Simply getting up every 30 minutes can make a difference. The gold standard for exercise is 30 minutes a day, but new research is showing people can get similar benefits from five to 10 minutes of active exercise, such as running in place or brisk walking. Eat berries. Three or more servings of blueberries or strawberries per week reduce heart disease risk in women by one-third. And they don’t have to be fresh berries; frozen or dried provide the same benefits. Robert Bonakdar, M.D., is director of pain management at Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Kids can get the chance to climb inside some of their favorite vehicles as Touch A Truck returns to Carmel Valley’s Canyon Crest Academy. The event, which raises money to help fight children’s cancer, will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 31. Touch A Truck San Diego started seven years ago with a vision to give kids the opportunity to sit in the driver’s seats of vehicles big and small.

Courtesy photo off on the CCA athletic fields, and will be open for kids to check out while on the ground. The first Touch A Truck was held in 2009 at Canyon Crest Academy, less than a year after the event’s inspiration, Max Mikulak, died at age 7 from neuroblastoma — a common cancer that mostly affects children under age 5. Max attended Solana Highlands Elementary, and his favorite things, besides his teacher and friends at school, were trucks, “Star Wars,” World War II, skateboards, bugs and Legos. When his parents started the Max’s Ring of Fire Childhood Cancer Foundation, to continue to pursue a cure for childhood cancers like the one that took their son, they came up with the idea of a car show for kids. “The owners who bring their vehicles are amazing people who love our cause, and are happy to open up their hearts and expensive machinery, knowing how much happiness they bring to the kids at the event,” said Melissa Mikulak, Max’s mom. Besides vehicle displays, kids will find “Star Wars” characters, a 200-foot zipline, laser tag, face painting, food trucks, games, a stagecoach, a raffle, and local youth bands. “Thanks to the support of the greater San Diego community, and Carmel Valley in particular, Touch A Truck has been an amazing success and we’ve raised over $220,000,” said Mikulak. “We are hoping to increase that total to $300K with this year’s event.” All the money raised helps support the Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma Translational Research Consortium.

Blocking the Noise of Financial Media All too often, we see investors who are underperforming because they let fear and greed drive their decisions. Because of this psychological entrapment, they are buying when prices are too high and selling when prices are too low. One of the main reasons for this phenomenon is that they are focusing

too much on the noise of ﬁnancial news. In our current technological age, where everyone has a voice, and every fact and opinion is just a click away, can it be that we have too much access to information? Behavior analyst, Daniel Crosby, Ph.D., wrote an article on the over-consumption of ﬁnancial media, warning investors about when and what and how much to listen to when it comes to your investment information. Crosby recommends to simply, “turn your TV off.” This would probably include your smartphone and tablet as well. But he realizes most people have a hard time being that disciplined. The allure to indulge in the bevy of websites, apps, channels, and pundits proves too great. The problem, however, is

that unlike in most other arenas where more information leads to greater knowledge which leads to better results, the opposite is often true in the ﬁnancial world. Crosby points out that one of the byproducts of this inﬂux of technology and information is a change in holding time. Fifty years ago, the average equity holding period was six years. And today? The average is six months. Obviously, the trading technology has made enormous advancements, but does that necessarily mean it has helped us become better investors? When we are constantly moving things around, buying and selling, following the latest trends and tips, we often lose sight of long term goals and smart investment practices. In the article, Crosby points out

that Warren Buffett’s famous advice is to pretend you have a punch card with only 20 punches, and that is all you have over an investing lifetime. This philosophy promotes the idea that many times the best move is the one you don’t make. So how do you reconcile the fact that financial advisors are constantly preaching the importance of being an informed investor with Crosby’s article that tells you to turn off the TV? There are several key things to keep in mind when indulging in financial media. Column continued at www.ranchosantafereview.com/ news/2015/mar/26/blocking-thenoise-of-financial-media/

“Mildred Maledon is my creation,” Sickman clarifies. “She is an early master at using the media to create an image and an impression. When she travels with Maledon, the first thing she does when she goes into town is she calls on the newspaper. She makes a concerted effort to create this myth. Then, after the event is over, she’ll follow up very carefully to make sure that Maledon himself is described in the most flattering terms.” The “Rope” score is Broadway, with hints of folk, gospel and country, including two songs sung by Mildred that aptly describe her dark aspirations. In one song she boasts, “I’m as pleased as can be, with this life of mine/Ladies whisper and compare, but I’m the hangman’s wife — so there!” “She’s much more of a celebrity than any of (the other ladies) will ever hope to be, so this sort of idea is conveyed in her first song,” Sickman said, stressing that, “In a musical it’s very important that the songs move the story along. They either describe a new event or fill in some background that you need to know to move forward.” Sickman, who said he typically pays

costs upfront and is reimbursed via ticket sales, is in negotiations with Debra Whitfield and Dennis Holland, the director and lead actor from the New York production of “Rope,” and hopes to bring them to San Diego for next year’s production. His other works include “Taxi to Jannah” (Arabic for “paradise”), a play he describes as “the adventures of a Muslim taxi driver in the United States, all the people he runs into and the discrimination he faces,” which was produced Off-Broadway after Sickman submitted it to a contest and, later, at Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles. “Space Number Nine,” his dramedy about a divorced couple who wind up vacationing at the same RV park and contemplate a romantic reconciliation, is making the rounds of RV parks in Arizona and California. “RV parks can be quite luxurious,” Sickman said. “Some of them will have a ballroom and a stage equivalent to anything you’d find in a Hilton. It’s been performed in Lake Havasu, Casa Grande and Mesa, Arizona. We get good crowds for this thing.” Online: ropethemusical.com

DAR welcomes Navy veteran/author, installs officers at monthly meeting The De Anza Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution welcomed author, Navy veteran, and DAR member Peg Trout to the monthly luncheon held May 2 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in Solana Beach. Trout’s book, “Sisters in War: Remembering the Women Veterans of World War II,” paid tribute to the nearly 400,000 WWII women with stories and photographs of 53 women interviewed in veterans and retirement homes across the U.S. “It was humbling,” Trout said. “They were proud that someone wanted to lis- Veterans Chair Linda Unrue, Navy veteran Peg Trout ten to their experience.” Trout’s aunt, Cpl. Flora Ausenbaugh, enlisted in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) soon after its creation. “Auxiliary” was dropped after the first year because of the unit’s success. The military was not prepared for the numbers of women who volunteered. Trout’s aunt and her cohorts lived in barns until a barracks could be built for them. Twenty-five thousand women applied for the Women Air Service Pilots (WASP) program, from which 1,074 were accepted and graduated. “It was a WASP job to pull dummy planes for target practice,” Trout said, “often taking more bullets to their own plane than to the target. “These women were civil service workers and not entitled to military benefits or honors if they were killed in the line of duty. They were not eligible for the GI bill or allowed to join the all-male American Legion after the war.” In conjunction with the Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Commemoration, Linda Unrue, Service for Veterans Chair, recognized Trout for her service during the Vietnam years. DAR has partnered with the federal government to participate in a 13-year program to pay tribute to this generation of patriots. New member Claire Marshall was installed by Registrar Kathy Loftman and Chaplin Martha Gresham. Marshall descends from Sgt. Maj. Jedediah Hubbard, 13th New Hampshire Regiment, called for service in the Continental Army during the Saratoga Campaign in northern New York. Located in Encinitas, De Anza Chapter has more than 100 members who live in Cardiff, Carlsbad, Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and other nearby areas. De Anza’s active lineage committee helps prospective members with their applications. Contact Regent Marti Meiners at mcmeiners@icloud.com or visit www.deanzadar.org.

MAH has locations in Escondido, Carlsbad and Vista. “Our goal with this new project is to engage the public in honor and support of our military men and women who have made unconditional personal commitments to defend our country,” said Mohnacky. “We’re also reaching out to the military population in San Diego to solicit their input to define what their needs are to maintain the health of their fourlegged family members, whether they be household pets or service dogs; we can identify and help screen cases that are most critical. “We donate veterinary services to military personnel with a free military voucher program, and our new Pet Care Rewards project is an extension of our current effort. Military members suffering from battle-related post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury benefit greatly from the aid of psychiatric service companion dogs in circumventing suicide rates; it’s our duty at MAH to make sure their dogs are serviced at no charge to them, as well as their fellow comrades with family pets.” Membership in the MAH Pet Care Rewards program includes 5 percent cash back rewards with every purchase, 2 percent automatically donated to Helping Paws for every dollar spent at MAH, two physical exams anytime during the membership year, all core inoculations (both annual and booster vaccines) for each pet in the member household, and one annual nail trim.
