Providing The Ranch with Three Decades of Quality Journalism

Supplemental CHP services continue to have positive impact on RSF roads BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s contract with the California Highway Patrol to provide supplemental services in the Covenant has resulted in an increase in moving violation enforcement on Ranch roads, according to a report presented to the RSF Association board Sept. 19. Citations for moving violations such as speeding, unsafe passing, illegal turning and other violations are up from 450 from January through August of 2012 to 550 for the same span this year. Chris Livoni, RSF Association associate planner, said that while moving violations are up, the number of speeding violations has

generally trended downward over the last six years. Livoni said a contributing factor to the increase in moving violations has been due to the decrease of the parking citations as more people are buying into the village timed parking program. In 2012, the overtime CHP patrol issued 103 parking citations over the first eight months of the year and in this year they have issued 70. “The success there has seen the ability for CHP officers to move their efforts to more pressing issues,” Livoni said. Input from the RSF Patrol and community member complaints informs where the CHP focuses its

enforcement efforts. CHP Officer Jim Gaffney said recent problem times and areas include El Camino Del Norte where they see a lot of traffic coming from Escondido, and drivers blowing through the Avenida de Acacias and La Granada stop sign during school pick-up time. Gaffney said he also writes a lot of bicycle tickets due to complaints about groups of cyclists riding side-by-side on the road, and not following traffic laws. Since 2004, the Association has contracted with the CHP for supplemental services in addition to the CHP’s regular enforcement. So far in 2013, CHP officers

Rancho Santa Fe Review

The Buzz: Sometimes ‘Retreat’ means full steam ahead! BY ANN BOON F o r those of you born after the era of the steam engine, “full s t e a m ahead” is an Ann Boon old term that was used to mean “with all possible energy and enthusiasm.” On Sept. 5 and 6, the RSF Association Board of Directors held its annual Retreat, commencing directly after our regularly scheduled board meeting. You may picture us tucked away at a spa, relaxing in hours of quiet meditation. Actually, we spent two days in continuous meetings. Traditionally, the Retreat is a time to review existing projects; consider potential new projects; and to set priorities for the new fiscal year. The first day of the Retreat was educational. Jerry Yahr, a member of the Association board and chair of the Osuna Committee, gave a very interesting presentation on the history of the Osuna Adobe and the current plans for its renovation. The Osuna Committee is

working with Los Amigos de Osuna to raise money for the restoration of this remarkable historical landmark. Next up was a seminar on the history of condominium ownership in our community, and why some condominium owners have the right to buy a membership in the Golf Club and others do not. The members of your Association board are very interested in the Golf Club’s efforts to find new members. In our ongoing efforts to work with the Golf Club board, we are exploring many options. The possibility of expanding the rights of condominium owners to buy Golf Club memberships is one those options. Last spring, the RSF Association board engaged Starmark, a marketing firm, to develop a consistent “Brand Personality” for the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant’s website, published materials and community enhancement efforts. At the Retreat, Starmark presented the results of their survey and workshop study. It was fascinating to see how they took direct input from our members to describe our

Covenant community. You may be seeing the results of their work in subtle ways over the coming months. We finished the day with a history lesson that looked back at past efforts by residents to enhance community services and facilities within the Covenant. Some ideas being suggested by current residents include pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, a swimming pool and a fitness center. The second day began early with an update on legal issues by our manager, Pete Smith. Then, for the rest of the morning, we turned the floor over to our treasurer, Larry Spitcaufsky. Larry gave us an in-depth review of our financial reporting system. Larry also explained how the Finance Committee is currently working with our accounting staff to convert to a new accounting software platform throughout the Association. This represents a huge undertaking and major upgrade to our systems. Lunch was a working lunch with members of the Golf Club board. The Golf Club board presented an overview of and updated cost estimate for the reverse

osmosis water project that they are currently reviewing in an effort to source less expensive water. One of the most significant challenges is how to dispose of the brine, which is a byproduct of the reverse osmosis treatment. The Golf Club board is currently working with a consultant to determine the feasibility of the project and required permitting. The Golf Club board also updated us on the proposed timeline for their revised Master Plan for the golf course. Both boards discussed in general terms how water issues might result in modifications to the Master Plan, through additional water conservation efforts and the use of more drought-tolerant plant materials in the landscaping. The Association board finished the day reviewing major projects that are currently underway, including: the ongoing work with the County to get our roads resurfaced; finalization of the purchase of the Garden Cub building; evaluation of stoplights by the new Intersection Study Committee; launching of the new website; new marketing efforts

in collaboration with the Golf Club; ongoing re-landscaping of the entrances to the Covenant; and the already-mentioned integration of the new accounting software system.

I think all of us, board members and staff, emerged from the Retreat energized and enthusiastic — ready to take on the many challenges the Covenant faces.

RSF Association board approves purchase of new servers BY KAREN BILLING The RSF Association board Sept. 19 approved the purchase of new file servers, not to exceed $55,000, after directing staff, earlier this month, to take a closer look at the Association’s server needs. At its Sept. 5 meeting, the board determined there was a need for further diligence before making a decision on the servers, based on questions of cost and technology, such as using “cloud computing” or a rack server. RSF Association Director Philip Wilkinson brought an IT expert to the Association offices to evaluate the Association’s system and options. Steve Comstock, chief financial officer, said it was confirmed that the cloud computing and rack servers were not viable options for the Association’s computer infrastructure. The new servers are needed as the Association has taken on the task of scanning all property and building files — replacing bulky paper folders with electronic records. In handling those demands, the Association’s three servers have reached their maximum storage capacity and are now outdated hardware. Wilkinson said he was happy with the Dell product they have selected, a “more robust system” that is a significant improvement and fits the Association’s needs.

BY KAREN BILLING Last February, the Rancho Santa Fe Association considered the Environmental Impact Report for the Paseo Delicias/Del Dios Highway roundabouts, concluding that a committee should be formed to look at the possible alternative of traffic signals. While the Association is just now in the process of approving the composition of that volunteer committee, Rancho Santa Fe Association Assistant Manager Ivan Holler said they have not been sitting idle for the last seven months. Since February, the RSF Association staff has been meeting with the county to discuss preparing a request for proposal (RFP) for traffic signal design and engineering in order for the committee to perform a meaningful comparison and to give the county information it would utilize. The RFP was sent out for bids in August and the Association has received proposals from three firms. With the proposals in, the committee should be able to hit the ground running, Holler said. At their Sept. 19 meeting, the RSF Association board members approved the criteria they will use in selecting their Intersection Study Committee. The call for candidates concluded on Sept. 23 and the board will in-

One possible requirement the board debated was that the committee member should have previous experience on Association committees such as the Art Jury or Road and Traffic. “In an effort to encourage community involvement I would give less weight to that or just broaden it to ‘community involvement,’” director Heather Slosar said. The board agreed, with director Craig McAllister saying that if people are passionate about the topic and willing to step up to the plate, there shouldn’t be that kind of barrier to their participation. The board will interview candidates at its first meeting in October.

Local resident thriving in second career as a best-selling author •Author of ‘WIRED’ releases new book ‘The Cure’; Book signing event to be held Sept. 29 at Del Mar Highlands’ Barnes & Noble BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Douglas E. Richards left behind the biotech world and is enjoying the second draft of his life as a techno-thriller author. His first book, “WIRED,” gained popularity as an ebook, ending 2011 as the #1 Kindle book in two categories. The book spent time on the New York Times Best Seller list and, despite having been out for two years, it’s still among the top five in Amazon’s techno-thrillers and science fiction categories, and still sells about 100 books a day. The online success of “WIRED” led to a book deal with Tor-Forge, an imprint of MacMillan Publishers. Richards’ latest book, “The Cure,” was released on Sept. 17 — its shiny, embossed jacket on a printed hard cover was extremely exciting for Richards to see. “The Cure” is a science fiction, techno-thriller mix that tells the story of Erin Palmer, a graduate student who goes into prisons to research psychopaths and possibly find a way to reverse their condition. The “fast-paced, breathless” novel takes place over one week. “It’s been really, really fun. Also, I’m nervous because you never know…it’s always very stressful until the first 100 people read the book,” Richards said. “You can write a good book that you’re passionate about, but that’s not enough. You have to get lucky. I don’t know what the magic is but let’s hope I continue to get lucky.” A book signing for “The Cure” will be held at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center’s Barnes & Noble on Sept. 29 from noon to 2 p.m. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Richards has lived in Carmel Valley since 1998. He attended Ohio State to get his undergraduate degree in microbiology and then attended the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master’s degree in genetic engineering. “I enjoyed analyzing data and I like to read the results of five years of research, but I didn’t want to be the one in the lab spilling stuff on myself, I don’t have the patience,”

Authors R. L. Stine and Douglas E. Richards. Courtesy photo Richards said. To change the direction of his career, Richards went on to earn his MBA at the University of Chicago and began working at the Eli Lilly IVAC medical devices company Bristol-Myers Squibb as the director of biotech licensing. He eventually moved to San Diego where he worked as the vice president of business development at Signal Pharmaceuticals and Acadia Pharmaceuticals. Richards credits his kids for inspiring him to become a writer. “I love to read, I was always reading and what really started my writing off was when I wanted to find science fiction for my kids,” Richards said. He had found that for seventh and eighth graders there weren’t a lot of good options so he wrote a series of science fiction books for middle schoolers called “The Prometheus Project.” The series did quite well online and he was even

invited to be a panelist at Comic-Con in 2010. His books caught the eye of National Geographic Kids Magazine, who tapped him to write articles. The articles have now been translated into 12 different languages. Richards finally decided to take on adult technothrillers in the vein of Michael Crichton, focusing his plots on the science and tech field where he knew he could tell stories that would not only be interesting but accurate.

Richards said it’s harder than ever to break into the publishing industry and with “WIRED” he tried for years without an agent and couldn’t get a publisher. “I put it in a drawer and ultimately decided to go back to biotech,” said Richards, noting he admitted to himself it was time to “concede the effort and return to reality.” Six months back into working in biotech as a consultant, he started learning more about e-books. “I thought, ‘I’ll throw it up there and see what happens’ and if I could get 10 people to read it that will be cool. Well, it went viral,” he said. In less than three months it hit the New York Times Best Seller list, as well as the USA Today Best Seller list. It stayed on the Times’ list for five weeks. “It is impossible to describe. I had given up and then it was just…surreal doesn’t even begin to describe it,” said Richards of being on the Best Seller list. “It brought a tear to my eye,

RSF residents chair Ronald McDonald House fundraiser BY KRISTINA HOUCK Since 1980, Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego has provided a home away from home for families with critically ill or injured children being treated at local hospitals. Two Rancho Santa Fe residents are heading a fundraiser to support the organization’s efforts to help families in need. “They have a big impact on our community,” said Fernanda Whitworth, co-chair of the fourth annual ROMP gala, which takes place Oct. 5 at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe. “I feel like not everybody knows how important the Ronald McDonald House is for families in need.” Every year, Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego has more than 5,000 resident guests. The ROMP gala helps fund the organization, which approximately 10,000 additional people visit each year for the first time, for meals, computer access and other essential supports close to the hospital. A mother of two young children, Whitworth volunteered as a committee member for the benefit, but she was initially hesitant when asked to chair last year’s gala. A week later, however, she had to take her then 2-year-old daughter to Rady Children’s Hospital. While they were waiting, they sat on a bench with a Ronald McDonald statue. It was then that Whitworth recalled going home after visits with her mother when she was dying of cancer. Sitting in Rady Children’s Hospital, she began thinking about parents whose children are in the hospital. That’s when she decided to plan the gala. “Most of the people at the event are fortunate to

Co-chair Fernanda Whitworth with husband Ralph Whitworth have their kids healthy and have resources,” said Whitworth, who has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for six years. “Other kids sometimes fall in the crack. We kind of forget about the rest of San Diego or California that’s not as fortunate as we are.” Last year, more than 350 people attended the event and raised about $860,000. Organizers hope 400-450 attendees can help raise $1 million this year, Whitworth said. “I was excited after last year’s event,” she said. “I thought, ‘I’m able to do this. I’m able to have an impact and pass the word to others so together we can support this organization.’” Whitworth, along with Rancho Santa Fe resident Jennifer Gramins, is co-chairing this year’s gala, which a 30-member committee began planning in January. With “A Night at the Copacabana” theme, this year’s gala will feature gourmet dinner, a live and silent auction and celebrity entertainment. “I’m really exited for this year,” Whitworth said. “I think it’s been easier and going to be even better than last year. We have almost the same committee and it’s wonderful.” Known for his work on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” Emmy-nominated choreographer, dancer and recording artist Mark Ballas will provide entertainment with his life band. This year’s gala also features a live and silent auction with high-end prizes, including a private jet excursion to dine at the French Laundry in Napa Valley, a getaway for 30 people to a beachfront estate in Kona, Hawaii and an Indianapolis 500 experience. Additionally, Hoehn Motors is sponsoring a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA raffle. Raffle tickets cost $100 and are available until Oct. 4. A maximum of 4,000 tickets will be sold. “Be the change you want to see in the world,” said Whitworth, as she quoted Mahatma Gandhi and encouraged community members to attend the gala. “I think if everybody thinks like that, we can give a little bit of us,” Whitworth said. “I hope others will be there to support us and make this organization very solid.” To attend the ROMP gala, purchase tickets to the Hoehn Motors Mercedes-Benz car raffle and help support Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, visit www. rmhcsd.org.

High school district board reviews plans for new TPHS science classrooms BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board took a look at the plans for new science classrooms at Torrey Pines High School at its Sept. 19 meeting. The project is one of many funded by Prop AA, the $449 million bond initiative that passed in November 2012 to upgrade district facilities. At Torrey Pines, the new four-room chemistry building will be built where the existing weight room portable is located near the sports fields. Joe Mansfield, principal from the Roesling Nakamura Terada Architecture firm, said the plan is to create four-classrooms with a shared prep space where teachers can collaborate, as well as an outdoor area between the existing science wing (known as building B) and the new building. Where the science rooms now are relatively small (very few over 1,000 square feet), the labs in the new building will all be 1,350 square feet, bringing them on par with classrooms seen at Canyon Crest Academy and La Costa Canyon. The exteriors are designed to match the existing Torrey Pines campus, which poses a bit See CLASSROOMS, page 30

RSF GOP Women collecting donations to help fund all-terrain wheelchairs for military amputee veterans

RSF’s Richard Rovsek speaks at ceremony for the President of the Republic of Tanzania RSF’s Richard Rovsek was recently invited by Ahmed Issa, Tanzania’s Honorary Consul for California, to attend and speak at a ceremony and dinner held for the President of the Republic of Tanzania, Jakaya Kikwete. The event, which was held in San Francisco on Sept. 16, was attended by 300 guests. The Tanzanian Ambassador to the United States, Liberata Mulamula, was one of the attendees at the event. Mulamula is in the photo above with Rovsek and President Kikwete.

The Rancho Santa Fe Republican Women, Fed. 2013 board recently approved the suggestion of its chaplain, Susan Bailey Cowan, to raise funds to purchase one or more “Action Trackchairs,” all-terrain wheelchairs. This is in support of military amputee veterans – a small way of saying “Thank You” to these heroes. According to Hannah Fischer of the Congressional Research Service, there are nearly 1,725 American military veterans of conflicts from 2000 through December 2012 with “minor limb” (including partial foot) and “major limb” amputations (legs). Action Manufacturing of Marshall, Minn. (www.actiontrackchair.com) developed “Action Trackchair” for “people who want… the freedom to venture off into new terrain.” Formerly active military men and women can again enjoy doing things conventional wheelchairs can not provide: The ability to go to the beach, explore “mountain roads, campgrounds, the woods… snow or mud.” Rancho Santa Fe Republican Women Fed. members want to reserve at least one Action Trackchair for one or more of America’s many Wounded Warriors for delivery by Christmas. Each Trackchair is custom-made to the specifications of the veteran in need. They cost between $10,200 (basic 37”-43” models) to $13,500 (with many accessories and options, including head rest, extra 20 amp. battery charger, and specialized Trackchair carrier (for car or truck). If you would like to donate $30, 100, 250, or more to this worthwhile cause or would like more information,

The Rancho Santa Fe Big Band

RSF Big Band brings swing music back to RSF Nov. 24 Rancho Santa Fe Big Band celebrates the composers and band leaders of the big band era on Sunday evening, Nov. 24., at the Village Church (6225 Paseo Delicias) from 6-8:30 p.m. This 17-piece swing orchestra under the direction of Professor and former President of the San Diego Musicians’ Association Jack Wheaton, with producer and trumpeter Dominick Addario, vocalist and events coordinator Marie Addario, and the finest players of big band era music, presents a nostalgic evening of swing music. This indoor pops-like (bring your own wine and appetizers) concert, celebrates its 12th year with packed performances. The non-profit swing orchestra provides decorations, munchies, glasses and wine openers, table linens and, of course, the multi-talented musicians who hail from LA, Orange and San Diego Counties. Many of the musicians have played with the bands of the ‘30s and ‘40s and Jack Wheaton never misses a chance to recall a good story or funny memory between arrangements. He’s heard them all. “Hold your pre-Thanksgiving party at our party”, Marie Addario says, “many people do.” We’ve seen people bring their out-of -town guests, families, parents, office parties, and friends and neighbors who want to share a table and enjoy this evening of this all-American art form.” Tables of 10 may be reserved by calling Addario at 858-756-4542.

•Event to benefit The Vision of Children Foundation and the American Cancer Society – Breast Cancer Research A “Holiday High Tea Event with Ann Romney” will be held on Monday, Dec. 9. at 2 p.m. (VIP reception for event sponsors at 1 p.m.) at The Grand Del Mar. The event will benefit The Vision of Children Foundation and the American Cancer Society – Breast Cancer Research. Romney, breast cancer survivor, health advocate and dedicated supporter of vision health, will speak about the critical need for medical research to cure breast cancer and vision diseases. The event will also include a “Holiday High Tea,” live auction, opportunity drawing and informal modeling of holiday fashions (courtesy of Fashion Valley). Event Committee Honorary Chairs: Susie Spanos and Bill Griffith; Committee Co-Chairs: Vivian Hardage and Wanda Garner; Emcees: Kimberly Hunt and Bill Griffith. The Vision of Children Foundation, founded by Vivian and Sam Hardage, has funded research to discover a cure for childhood

Ann Romney blindness and vision disorders since 1991. Breast cancer strikes one out of every eight women in San Diego and has personally impacted the Hardage, Spanos, and Griffith families. Vivian has battled breast cancer three times and is currently in remission. Recent cancer research has resulted in a 93 percent survival rate for early detection of breast cancer. However, the survival rate for patients with certain rare and aggressive breast cancers is less than 50 percent over five years. Vivian’s “Vision of Success” is to raise funds supporting clinical research that is critical for improving these low survival rates and to support vision research to

cure debilitating vision disorders and blindness. Event Co-Chair, Wanda Garner, cancer workshop facilitator and philanthropic fundraiser, and her husband, Biotech leader Cam Garner, are strong supporters of medical research efforts in San Diego. Proceeds from this event will be used to bolster research funding for Vision of Children and for American Cancer Society sponsored research on rare and aggressive breast cancers being conducted in San Diego County. For 100 years, the American Cancer Society has worked relentlessly to save lives and create a world with less cancer.

Small classes at R. Roger Rowe School yield solid results BY RSF EDUCATION FOUNDATION Throughout the state and the country class sizes are on the rise. Classes of 30 or more are normal. Educators are stretching already taxed resources to transition to new standards. At the R. Roger Rowe School (Ranch School) average class sizes remain at 18 students per class. The difference here is the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique partnership with the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation (RSFEF), which has increased its grant to the school to $1.1 million for the current school year. Irene Dickson, a Ranch School parent, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came to this school from a district with middle school classes of 42 students in a class, and here the average is less than 20!â&#x20AC;? Ninety-six percent of funds from the RSFEF provide for teacher salaries keeping class sizes small and providing for specialized teachers that further reduce class sizes. Without the RSFEF, our average class size would be 32 and our teachers would have less support diminishing their time with each student. Differentiated teaching for each child Our students have the benefits of teachers who have the time to teach to each studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having 16 students in my class Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to meet their needs every day,â&#x20AC;? commented Lauren Stevenson, a kindergarten teacher at the Ranch School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get to meet with each child independently and work with them and push them in a differentiated way.â&#x20AC;? Small classes mean one-on-one attention from teachers, leading to higher academic performance across all grade levels. Highest scoring School District in San Diego County Students at the Ranch School have achieved scores in the top ranking of the state since 2003 when the testing began. Our school had the highest District Academic Performance Index (API) in San Diego County this year. The Middle School achieved its highest API score to date of 957. The Elementary School ranking was also 957, giving the school a top ranking in the State of California. Rankings established for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Similar Schoolsâ&#x20AC;? in the state are 10 out of 10 for both the Elementary and the Middle School. This is the highest achievable score when compared to state schools with similar demographics. Additionally, on the California Standards Tests (compo-

Students in Kerianne Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5th grade class at the Ranch School are working in small groups. All students at the Ranch School have average class sizes of 18, ensuring plenty of 1:1 and small group time with their teachers. nent of STAR) over 90 percent of our students scored at a level of proficient or above for the 2012/2013, as they did the previous year. This demonstrates that our school maintains a rigorous and effective curriculum. High caliber teachers who engage our students â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having as few students as we do, allows me to keep everybody engaged,â&#x20AC;? remarked veteran Fifth Grade Teacher Steve Riviere. The Ranch School attracts and retains high caliber teachers like Mr. Riviere who place great value on the opportunity to teach a smaller number of students. But this wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible without the support of the RSFEF. Please help us retain this level of teaching. The RSFEF is asking that each family contribute their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fair Shareâ&#x20AC;? cost per child of $1,709 ($1,140,000 divided by 667 students). This year the Cap & Gown level is $2,000 per student and the Benefactor level is $3,000 per student. The Foundation also relies heavily on

the philanthropic contributions of the Scholarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Circle. This group comprises 20 percent of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s families and local businesses who make multi-year commitments of $35K or more that fund 50 percent of the total grant to the school. Your donation needed by Red Envelope Friday â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rely on contributions of all sizes,â&#x20AC;? remarked RSFEF Chair Lynn Frank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ask that you give at the level where your passion for our school meets your ability to give.â&#x20AC;? Please contribute to the RSFEF by Friday, Sept. 27 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Red Envelope Friday. We encourage all school families to participate. Community and corporate donations are also encouraged.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Author delves into parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mysterious deaths to help others cope with violent loss BY PAT SHERMAN Though more than three decades have passed, San Diego writer Larry Edwards will never forget the day his parents and two siblings set sail from San Diego, heading off on a much-anticipated, high-seas adventure. The trip would result in the violent, unsolved deaths of his parents, Jody and Loren Edwards. Larry Edwards, a member of the La Jolla Writers Group and a former San Diego Magazine business editor, recounts the story in his new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dare I Call It Murder?: A Memoir of Violent Loss.â&#x20AC;? The memoir is his ongoing attempt to set the record straight about his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deaths, and to help others manage the loss of a loved one from a murder or violent crime. He was in La Jolla last weekend for a book signing at Warwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and took part in a Sept. 21 public ceremony honoring the survivors of violent loss at the Crime Victims Oak Garden on Cara Way off the Mercy Road exit of Interstate

15, held in observance of National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims (Sept. 25). The Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tragic voyage A carpenter by trade, Loren Edwards sold the house he built and raised his family in to finance the boat he would help construct for the 1977-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;78 South Pacific excursion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents basically had all of their savings sunk into that boat,â&#x20AC;? said Larry, who was 28 at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were initially headed to the Marquesas Islands, then Tahiti and points beyond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some issues in the family, like any family can have, and my father thought that by taking the cruise it would bring us all together into one big, happy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Brady Bunch.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? The opposite occurred. Larry Edwards sailed the boat from Seattle to San Diego with his parents. They were later joined in San Diego by his brother, Gary Edwards, and half-sister, Kerry Edwards. Over the course of two months in San Diego, during which the family prepared itself and the boat for the voyage, tensions between Larry and his brother grew to a fever pitch, and Larry backed out of the trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came close to having a fist fight and I said this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth it to me,â&#x20AC;? Larry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could see that it was not going to be a pleasant trip if the two of us were on the boat together. My dad would not tell my brother he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go, so I left the boat.â&#x20AC;? A family friend, Lori Huey Oskam, took Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place. Two months later, Larry received a call informing him that his father was dead and that his sister had suffered a fractured skull and concussion.

Soon after, he learned that his stepmother, who raised him as her own, also was dead. Larry Edwards never believed the account his brother, Gary, told the FBI and reporters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that his dad fell and hit his head on the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steering wheel, and that his mother was so distraught that she later committed suicide aboard the ship, shooting herself with a gun Gary purchased in Seattle before they left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother asked my father not to allow my brother to bring the gun on the boat,â&#x20AC;? Larry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were problems on the boat. My father alluded to them in his journal and my mother told friends, who were on other boats traveling to roughly the same destination, that she was considering leaving the boat in Tahiti if my brother did not leave.â&#x20AC;? Gary Edwards told the FBI that he, his sister and Oskam buried the bodies at sea so they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decompose before they landed in Tahiti.

Taylor Williamson Photo courtesy of NBC his weekly appearances on what is America’s number onerated television show. Throughout his time on “Talent,” which was broadcast live from New York’s Radio City Music Hall twice a week, Williamson was championed by judges Howie Mandel and Howard Stern, and helped along by growing fan-base he dubs the “Taylords.” Williamson is slated to perform at a variety of the most prestigious comedy clubs across the country in the coming months, including headlining slots at San Diego’s American Comedy Co. club come December. Not bad for a struggling comedian who, pre-”America’s Got Talent,” said he was close to stepping away from comedy altogether and getting a regular job due to financial constraints. In a recent interview with this newspaper, Williamson called the past few months a “dream scenario.” Williamson graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 2005.

TPHS grad places second on ‘America’s Got Talent’ BY ROB LEDONNE Taylor Williamson, a graduate of Torrey Pines High School, overcame the odds and placed second on the hit NBC competition series “America’s Got Talent” on Sept. 18. Williamson, the 26-year-old comedian who auditioned for the series on a lark, beat out hundreds of other competitors. In his in his first interview with this newspaper back in early August, Williams said he was confident he wouldn’t make it past the early rounds, but went onto survive a variety of elimination shows and made it all the way to the show’s season finale, where he performed one final comedy bit alongside “Inside the Actor’s Studio” host James Lipton. By the end of the show, Williamson and Kenichi Ebina, a dancer and fellow-fan favorite, were the last two contestants standing. However, Ebina wound up edging out Williamson and clinching the $1 million prize and headline show in Las Vegas. Despite being runnerup, Williamson’s career has been reinvigorated thanks to

RSF’S Major General Melvin G. Spiese: Turning the corner on America’s military This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Each time we face a new Middle East crisis, we can’t help but remember the sacrifices and challenges of past conflicts. It takes great minds to defeat unpredictable and dangerous enemies. It takes brilliant ideas and planning to turn ordinary civilians into extraordinary warriors. For a young ROTC graduate, who rose up in the Marine Corps, a quest for exceptional thinking led to strengthening our forces. In the Iraq war, Al Anbar Province was an Al Qaeda terrorist pipeline and stronghold of operations. Maj. Gen. Melvin G. Spiese, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, states unequivocally, “The Marine Corps thought its way out of Al Anbar, not necessarily fought its way out of Anbar.” He adds, “A lot of this can map its way back to General Kelly and General Allen and the great work they were doing, but we worked [from the support side] to understand the problems we were facing out there.” “Shooting bad guys was real important, but it was only one of many things that had to be done.” “We expect our leaders at every rank and grade to come to solutions for challenges they face in their particular battle space and area,” offers Maj. Gen. Spiese, “We tend to not only encourage that, but exploit that. We leverage that.” The task in Al Anbar was: “We were told do not lose the war but, in fact, we turned the corner on the war in Al Anbar.” “We build into our Marines expectation on one hand and empowerment on the other. This is completely in the character of an American Marine.” Spiese was influenced by his father — a career soldier who fought in World War II and Korea and then worked as an Army ROTC Instructor in Chicago schools. Spiese grew up there and attended the University of Illinois in Champaign Urbana. He was a midshipman in a Naval ROTC unit with dreams of flying F-4 Phantoms as a Navy pilot. “Immediately upon arrival, I saw who the Marines were. They were very distinct in their presence and bearing. They looked like what the military was supposed to be. I wanted to be like them.”

as, “the business of being a Marine.” “We train and educate throughout the career of our Marines. Each step provides something unique.” This would-be Commander says that at Basic School the problems were challenging. The time cycle in thinking is much shorter with greater cause and effect. Command and Staff College helped him with higher order planning skills and to understand more complex problems with greater span, control, and effects of decisions. His education at the School of Advanced Military Studies taught rigorous critical thinking and graduate-level problem solving, preparing him for the role of a General. Winning at war is a thinking person’s game. Sun Tzu, an ancient Chinese general and military strategist, helped set the bar for modern battle strategies. Warfare is the greatest affair of state, the basis of life and death, the way to survival or extinction. It must be thoroughly pondered and analyzed. “Sun Tzu – Art of War” by Ralph D. Sawyer.

cause there were no bodies and thus no forensic evidence. Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Kerry, initially said she did not remember much due to her head injury, while the family friend claims to have slept through the ordeal. However, Larry said his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio communications with other boats at the time contradicts his later FBI testimony. Kerry later testified under oath that her brother [Gary] assaulted and raped her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which triggered the violence on the boat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have her on the record as having stated that, but she still refused to tell us anything more, in terms of the deaths of our parents,â&#x20AC;? Larry said. Larry, who has since been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, said he began writing the book 10 years ago, though was prompted to finish it after an account of his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deaths was published by crime writer Ann Rule, which he felt was inaccurate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did not talk to me or other members of my family about the story while she was writing it,â&#x20AC;? Larry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the news she had

was almost 30 years old. The so-called facts in those articles really came from one source â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that was my brother.â&#x20AC;? Larry isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one in his family who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account. He has two stepsisters, both of whom were adults at the time of the trip and had obligations that precluded them from going. Neither believe Gary Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story. Larry said he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen nor heard from Gary or Kerry in more than six years. The last time he saw Gary was at a family funeral at which Larry said they exchanged â&#x20AC;&#x153;very few words.â&#x20AC;? Though he said he hoped Kerry would â&#x20AC;&#x153;eventually come forward and tell the truth about what happened on the boat,â&#x20AC;? Larry said that when he approached her in 2004 about participating in the book, she declined. Dealing with the loss Larry said the broader theme of his book is violent loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My broad objective is to generate public awareness and discussion of violent loss and what happens to survivors of violent loss and to fulfill an unmet need for therapists to provide services for them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My story is not entirely unique â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just look at what happened in Washing-

ton, D.C. a few days ago,â&#x20AC;? Larry added, noting this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massacre at a Washington, D.C.

Record number of Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students named National Merit Semifinalists The National Merit Corporation has released the names of the semifinalists in the 2014 scholarship competition and The Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School recently announced that the Class of 2014 has 18 National Merit Semifinalists, which sets a record in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 105-year history. The Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniors who earned semifinalist status in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Competition are Brian Anglin, Michael Burnett, Adison Chang, Jenny Chen, Colin Garon, Matthew Healey, Benjamin Higgs, Connor Holland, Tina Huang, Alexander Kilman, Matthew Lizanich, Kendall Mahavier, Mark Matten, Joseph Oh, Erik Schrunk, Winkfield Twyman, Kelly Vogel, and Kevin Yin. Approximately 16,000 National Merit Semifinalist students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. More than 1.5 million juniors in over 22,000 high schools entered the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2012 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/ NMSQT). Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition. A semifinalist must: have an outstanding academic record throughout high school; be endorsed and recommended by the high school principal; and earn SAT scores that confirm the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier performance on the qualifying test. Approximately 15,000 semifinalists are expected to advance to the finalist level and it is from this group that all National Merit Scholarship winners will be chosen.

GENERAL continued from page 21 In a string of multiple commands, Maj. Gen. Spiese has employed higher thinking. When he led 2nd Force Reconnaissance Company, Camp Lejeune, 1993, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were the strike element for U.S. Atlantic Commander in Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (CINCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) In-Extremis Force. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe we were sourcing detachments to the Marine Expeditionary Units as well as we needed to be. At 2nd Force, we restructured how we built and prepared platoons and who we sent to high-end schools. I started sending more junior Marines who we could get a couple of deployments out of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a lot of amazing things â&#x20AC;&#x201D; shooting, jumping, and diving. The Marines had to be incredibly talented and proficient because of the nature of the business.â&#x20AC;? When Spiese assumed command at The School of Infantry, 2001, General Jones was Commandant and had identified a problem with the performance of instructors. Spiese relates, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to achieve specialduty assignmentâ&#x20AC;Śthe most significant thing that has happened to The School of Infantry since General Gray established it decades ago. We completely revamped every aspect of how we sourced, selected, and built our instructors. Now, we are getting unmatched quality in terms of instructors. We see the results of that in the performance of our Marines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to like Marines,â&#x20AC;? he says with a genuine smile. Years of spearheading transformation along the continuum of professional development has kept Spiese connected with who the Marines are and how they think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they are thinking is crucial

for a senior officer removed from the battle space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the guys with the hammer and screwdriver trying to make everything fit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to get from them how things are working â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what adjustments they had to make and how this affects the initial expectation and vision laid out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherwise, you have this skewed filtered view of the world and will likely not make the best decisions.â&#x20AC;? The edge of war cuts deep at times. In 2010, when Spiese arrived at I Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), Camp Pendleton, the Corps was wrestling with issues of suicide and extreme cases of PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder). The engineer in Spiese got caught up in an experimental program General Dunford had brought on board called Mindfulness Mind Fitness Training (MMFT), created by Elizabeth Stanley and Dr. Chris Johnson. The physiology of MMFT intrigued Spiese, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very focused exercises for the brain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; exercising neural pathways and the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to that as it manages the central nervous system. We could see improvement in Marineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilities to stay focused, have tension when doing dangerous, but potentially mundane tasks like walking patrol, or managing an adrenaline spike like an ambush or IED.â&#x20AC;? MMFT is about getting through the dominance of the fight or flight reactions and getting back the thinking brain more quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stress and strain hits the whole force,â&#x20AC;? informs Spiese, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have memories of working with Marines who were on the edgeâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Sgt. Muhesien R. Hassen, USMC, shares his experience: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was diagnosed with PTSD, and I went for

almost three years with just keeping everything bottled up inside,â&#x20AC;? Hassen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And finally, I just hit my thresholdâ&#x20AC;ŚWith something like Mind Fitness, you can use it wherever and the biggest thing about it is, you have your Marines around you who have been through hell and high water. Those are the best people to talk to.â&#x20AC;? By embracing viable solutions, Spiese has helped pull people back, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to successfully complete their enlistments and go on with life.â&#x20AC;? For 38 years, Spiese embodied the resiliency and tenaciousness he taught his men. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest adventures are those where you learn,â&#x20AC;? he says with palpable gratitude, appreciative to be a force of needed change in an iconic institution that keeps raising the bar set by shifting wars. What Spiese leaves behind impacts his son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;MG,â&#x20AC;? who was a 2nd Lt. Platoon commander in the Now Zad District, Afghanistan, 2010. For a father and a commander, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mix of pride and worry for now Captain â&#x20AC;&#x153;MGâ&#x20AC;? Spiese and his Marines. In March 2013, Major General Melvin G. Spiese retired with great fanfare, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel blessed beyond measure. I hope Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to provide back to the Marine Corps a return on its investment in me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an amazing privilege to have been allowed to be a Marine and one for as long as I have.â&#x20AC;? He never used his civil engineering degree to build roads and bridges using asphalt, concrete, and steel. This indomitable patriot has been speaking his mind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; building exceptional warriors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His businessâ&#x20AC;? was about â&#x20AC;&#x153;who you were and now who you will be.â&#x20AC;?

Another four or five stucation costs will be lower this year, according to an dents may return to the disAug. 22 board report sub- trict later this year, he said, mitted by Mike Grove, which would save more monSDUHSD’s associate superin- ey. “We believe we can serve tendent of educational serthose kids much more cheapvices. The number of students ly than a residential treatment placed in non-public schools center because those can be (NPS) dropped, from 52 last anywhere from $90,000 to year to 48 this year. And the $140,000 a year to place one number of students placed student there,” Grove said. Grove cited two primary by the district in residential treatment centers (RTC) reasons for the drop in special dropped from 16 to nine education costs: the district’s this year. RTCs are facilities creation of newly-designed where students live full- special ed programs and the time, and NPSs are privately return of some former NPS run day schools that stu- and RTC students who redents are transported to and ceived appropriate treatment and can now be integrated from by the district. This decrease of 11 stu- back into the district’s already dents previously placed in existing special ed programs. San Dieguito’s new profacilities outside the district resulted in a savings of gram to accommodate special

ed students who formerly qualified for RTC or NPS facilities is called Seaside Prep and is housed at Torrey Pines High School. Grove said the district worked closely with special education attorneys and advocates to design Seaside Prep, to ensure that the program would adequately serve students’ needs. “As long as we can provide appropriate services, that’s the key – the right service for the right kid,” Grove said. “That’s why we still have large numbers of kids in nonpublic schools and in RTCs, because we can’t serve all kids.” The district identified the students it felt could be wellserved at Seaside Prep, and Grove said there was little resistance from parents. The alternative is sending their children to a distant residential facility that can be as far away as Texas or Utah, or having them ride a bus nearly an hour each way to attend an NPS. “Most parents want their kids to be near home or school,” he said. “They want them to go to community schools if there’s a program that can support them.”

Title and salary adjustment Also at that meeting, board members discussed a revision in title and salary for the position of executive director of curriculum and instruction. The district asked the board to approve a title change, to executive director of educational services, with a corresponding bump in salary to $144,772 from $137,009. Board member John Salazar objected, saying, “We’re deficit spending. I don’t think it’s a good idea when we’re deficit spending to give raises.” Salazar said the change would mean the high school principals would now no longer be the highest-paid administrators at the noncabinet level. “I think our principals should be the highest paid besides the cabinet and the superintendent because they’re on the front lines,” he said. “I think if we do this, very soon we’ll have to raise the salary of our principals. I think this is a ripple effect.” Board member Joyce Dalessandro strongly objected to Salazar’s position, saying, “First, I’d like to point out that we are not raising anyone’s salary. We are redefining, re-imagining, a posi-

tion that has a great deal of responsibility, a great deal of time commitment – certainly every bit as much of a time commitment as a high school principal, and a lot more.” The amount of money in the salary increase – $7,763 – was small, she argued, and is trivial if it makes the difference in attracting high-quality candidates. She also said the board should follow the recommendation of the district’s administrators who she called “the best, the brightest administrators in the region and beyond, who are fiscally conservative, who do not steer us wrong.” Board president Barbara Groth also supported the change, saying the district’s principals would have more incentive to apply for higher-level positions if there weren’t a pay cut. “It would be a logical progression for them to step in on this level but they won’t,” she said. “They are the ones we need to attract to this position.” Chicken or egg Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the role of the position has evolved since the job description and salary were reviewed in 2004.

“The new role … represents a significant increase in responsibilities in both scope and relevance to district priorities,” Schmitt said. “I believe, and our experience in recruiting for the position proved, that these expanded roles and responsibilities both justify and require a salary commensurate with responsibilities and skills and experience required.” The position was formerly held by Grove until he was promoted this summer to associate superintendent, taking Schmitt’s former job after Schmitt was promoted to superintendent. Grove said for a few years he and Schmitt discussed rewriting the job description, changing the title and revising the salary level to more accurately reflect the position’s increased responsibilities. “But it wasn’t a particularly high priority at the time,” he said. The position is a promotion in title for a high school principal but the pay is lower. No internal candidates applied, and Grove said most of the external, qualified candidates indicated the job represented a See MONEY, page 30

Estate Property Must-Haves for Landscape Renovation By Steve Jacobs Any time a home goes through a renovation, the landscape must not be overlooked. Since technology advances at the same rate for interior and exterior products, it is essential to include landscape projects in an overall renovation budget. There’s an old rule of thumb about investing 10 percent of the value of the home into the landscape. Estate properties, on the other hand, can be calculated as high as 20 percent, with the actual ﬁgure based on the potential listing price of the property after renovation (not the buyer’s price).

MONEY continued from page 28 â&#x20AC;&#x153;significantâ&#x20AC;? pay cut, with reduced benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we went through that process, we recognized that if we were going to get someone who was qualified to take the position that we were going to need to increase the pay,â&#x20AC;? he said. Grove said he had hoped to find a qualified candidate at the current salary level, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because no one wants to be spending more money right now.â&#x20AC;? But no luck. To cut corners and save money over the last few years of the recession, Grove said the practice has been to eliminate one administrative position by combining two positions, rewriting job descriptions, increasing responsibility, and bumping up the pay slightly. Schmitt said the elimination last year of two management positions saved the district nearly $250,000. The motion to revise the job description and increase the salary level passed 4-1. This was not just an academic exercise. A candidate in the wings was interested in the position but reluctant because of the salary. Had he taken the job without the

Rancho Santa Fe Review salary change, Grove said it would have represented about a $10,000 pay cut. The chicken or egg question comes to mind. Which came first, the candidate or the need to make changes to the jobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title and salary? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chicken was the redesign of the position, and we were trying to be cheap on the egg but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? Grove said. After formal approval to change the title and salary by the board on Aug. 22, Jason Viloria started his new job on Aug. 26 as SDUHSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director of educational services at a base salary of $144,772. Viloria, who reports to Grove, was formerly Irvine Unified School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal of Woodbridge High School. Getting money back Last week, when I discussed the practice of change orders to work contracts that increase the amount after the contractor has already been chosen, I suggested that the system seems ripe for abuse. After the scope of the work is increased through change orders, the additional work is generally given to the firm first awarded the contract without going out to bid again. I specifically mentioned to watch for change orders

for contractors working with San Dieguito as it proceeds with its Proposition AA facilities bond money, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate to give credit where credit is due. At the Sept. 19 meeting, five change orders were presented but this time in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor, resulting in a decrease in the contracted amount for work done at the two middle schools in Encinitas, Oak Crest and Diegueno. This resulted in a total reduction and savings of $335,609. Taxpayers win on this one. County money The Board of Education at the County of San Diego voted itself a modest 5-percent raise last month, which increases each memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly stipend from $463.05 to $486.20, according to Music Watson, chief communications officer for the San Diego County Office of Education. The motion was made by Sue Hartley, the local board representative for the fifth district on SDCOE, and passed 4-1. The raise is retroactive to August 1, 2013. The single no vote was cast by Gregg Robinson, SDCOE board member for the first district, which runs from just south of Del Mar along the coast to Point Loma. Hartleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district extends from Del Mar, north to Fallbrook, and inland to

include Bonsall and part of the Poway Unified School District. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

He was able to secure a six-figure offer from Tor-Forge. Over the summer he was invited to ThrillerFest in New York with authors such as Michael Connelly and R.L. Stine, an experience he said was like fantasyland to get to meet all these superstars of the genre who happen to be nice, friendly and ego-free. He said one of the ThrillerFest speakers, author Anne Rice, talked about how brutal the business is and recalled crying when getting the offer to publish â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interview with a Vampire.â&#x20AC;?

a big ego because they feel so lucky to do what they love.â&#x20AC;? He said he knows thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of great books out there and, for some reason, lightning strikes the lucky few. The idea behind â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cureâ&#x20AC;? stemmed from an article Richards was reading about the difference in brain physiology between psychopaths and normal folk. A professor at the University of Wisconsin was doing MRIs on psychopathic prisoners and exploring the fascinating science of psychopathy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people who are totally ruthless, selfish, brilliant liars, with no shame and no fear, representing about 1 percent of the population. Richards called the professor who does the MRIs on prisoners and had a 90-minute conversation about how the professor sets up a semi-trailer with an MRI in the prison yards and psychopaths come in, not chained or restrained and with no guards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was incredulous, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are you kidding me?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the guts of this guy,â&#x20AC;? Richards said. After his conversation, Richards knew he had to write this book and developed the character of Erin Palmer, the young student who had an encounter with a psychopath as a young girl that motivates her to study and try to â&#x20AC;&#x153;eradicate these monsters off the earth.â&#x20AC;? Richards said he is close to finishing his fourth book, which he feels could be his best yet. For now, pick up â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cureâ&#x20AC;? at any book seller or on Amazon.com.

CLASSROOMS of a challenge as the fluted brick blocks used for the majority of the campus were custom-made in the 1970s. Mansfield said the idea is for the finish to be as close as possible to the existing bricks, although the dimensions of the bricks will be a little different.

‘The Few’ face life changes common to us all

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER It was while watching a performance of Samuel Hunter and Davis McCallum’s production of “The Whale” at Playwrights Horizons that actor Gideon Glick said he became enthralled with their work. That’s why he jumped at a chance to play Matthew in their world premiere of “The Few,” opening Sept. 28 at the Old Globe in Balboa Park. Adapting to life’s changes is a prominent theme in the show. The Globe reports, “It’s a funny and bighearted play about our longing for connection and the barriers we place in our way.” “When I read the script, I felt connected to the character in terms of my life, as I’ve been playing a teenager for a long time,” Glick said. “Matthew is struggling with his idea of life. He has to become acclimated (to reality) to accept what life really is. Expectations have to change and that’s a big

I’m 25 and have to change from teen-age roles to more mature roles, so this part felt like a good segue for me.” “The Few” is set in an RV in Idaho where a trio struggles to keep a smalltown newspaper alive. The publication is mostly financed by personal ads from lonely truck drivers. When Oz (Eva Kaminsky) discovers that Bryan (Mi-

chael Laurence), the Publisher and her former boyfriend, is returning to town, it’s obvious that things are about to change. “Sam (Hunter) is from Idaho and writes what he knows,” Glick said. “He touches on something that is different than big plays that are glitzy and sexy by creating these great, almost mythic, American characters. I feel ‘The Few’ is almost a companion piece to ‘The Whale,’ which follows a man who struggles with his obesity. In watching this humongous man on stage, I had never seen anything like that; it was almost magical and something bigger than one’s self. The character. Bryan, in ‘The Few,’ is similar. My character, Matthew, romanticizes this great American wanderer who has seen the heart of America.” “The Few” also features the voices of 17 San

his characters,” Glick said. “That happens in this play as well as in ‘The Whale.’ These characters are flawed for the most part, yet we care about them so much that the audience hooks into that, and it’s a very moving experience at the end.”

Diegans, who portray the characters placing personal ads via an answering machine to the play’s struggling newspaper. Glick said the cast – which also includes Jenny Bacon (Voice of Cindy) – is wonderful, and he finds working with both the same director and playwright of “The Whale” and “The Few” has advantages.

“They’ve collaborated on several plays, so it’s comforting to be part of that relationship because they have a lot of trust in each other, and that trust gets handed down to the actors,” Glick said. He added that he believes audiences will quickly identify with this story. “(Playwright) Sam has a great pool of empathy for

Upcoming San Diego Film Festival offers a variety of unique events BY PAT SHERMAN Following last year’s successful run at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (MCASD) on Prospect Street, the San Diego Film Festival (SDFF) is increasing its La Jolla film screenings fourfold at ArcLight Cinemas in the UTC Westfield Mall. Meanwhile, SDFF will return to MCASD for its toast to director-producer Judd Apatow (“Bridesmaids,” “The 40-Year-Old-Virgin,” “Pineapple Express”), during which Apatow will receive the SDFF’s 2013 Visionary Filmmaker Award (last year’s nod, also presented at MCASD, went to filmmaker Gus Van Sant). The San Diego Film Festival runs Oct. 2-Oct. 6. SDFF Chair Dale Strack said festival organizers are working in concert with local business owners and restaurateurs to make the event economically beneficial for all, via a “pass-holder perks program,” where La Jolla businesses with a sign in their window will offer free menu items and other discounts to festival attendees who display their passes. (See a list of participating businesses at sdfilmfest.com) “This is the first step to a bigger footprint in La Jolla,” Strack said. “We know that ultimately we’re going to be able to generate 10 times what we spend here (for) the community in the form of restaurants, hotels and a variety of other entertainment, as well as shopping experiences.” Strack said several hundred filmmakers will arrive from across the country for the screenings. “There will be plenty of Q&A’s that go with the films over at ArcLight,” Strack assured. One of the most talked about screenings, the deliciously funny and dark drama, “August: Osage County” (starring Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Ewan McGregor) screens at ArcLight, 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5. “A lot of people think that Meryl Streep will be nominated for best actress for her role,” SDFF Vice President Tonya Mantooth said. Strack added, “It just hit Toronto (International Film Festival) and now we’re pulling it out here — that’s big for La Jolla and for San Diego in general.” Attendees with a VIP pass can access a VIP Lounge, Oct. 4-6 at Seasons 52 restaurant, 4505 La Jolla Village Drive. Also screening at ArcLight is “Ride with Larry,” a docu-

The highlight of festival screenings in La Jolla will be the San Diego debut of ‘August: Osage County,’ starring Meryl Streep (center, above), Julia Roberts (right, above) and Ewan McGregor (not pictured), 8 p.m. Oct. 5 at ArcLight Cinemas in the UTC Westfield Mall. Courtesy photos mentary that follows a retired police captain with Parkinson’s disease as he travels 300 miles across South Dakota to demonstrate the power of maintaining an active body and positive outlook. It screens at 3:30 p.m. Oct. 5. Elswhere in San Diego, a weekend of screenings at Reading Theatre in the Gaslamp kicks off with the West Coast Premiere of “12 Years a Slave,” 7 p.m. Wednesday Oct. 2. Produced by Brad Pitt, the 2013 historical drama is based on the autobiography of a free black man in the mid-1800s who was kidnapped and sold into slavery. “It’s getting a tremendous amount of Oscar buzz for best picture,” Mantooth said. “We will have the two producers and the screenwriter there for the Q&A.” SDFF also will honor actress Mariel Hemingway with a humanitarian award for her role in the documentary, “Running From Crazy,” which explores her quest for a greater understanding of her family’s history of substance abuse, suicide and mental illness. Executive produced by Oprah Winfrey, it screens 6:30 p.m. Oct. 5 at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice at the University of San Diego. Strack said one of the larger missions of SDFF and the San Diego Film Foundation is to reestablish the San Diego Film Commission, which was formed in 1976 by Mayor Pete Wilson and disbanded two months ago when the city’s Tourism Authority laid off its last remaining members.

Actress Mariel Hemingway shares family history in documentary to raise awareness of mental health; Hemingway to be honored at San Diego Film Festival BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Mariel Hemingway said she has been “running from crazy” her whole life, the granddaughter of writer Ernest Hemingway shared her family’s history in a new documentary to raise awareness and understanding of mental health. In coordination with Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital, the San Diego Film Festival will honor Hemingway with a Humanitarian Award on Oct. 5 for her role in “Running from Crazy,” which focuses on her personal history of mental illness and the suicides of seven relatives, including her sister and grandfather. “I’m just thrilled that this film is getting the kind of exposure needed to help mental illness come out of the darkness,” said Hemingway, 51. “[The award] is another opportunity to make mental illness visible.” Directed by Oscar winner Barbara Kopple, “Running from Crazy” took two years to complete and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. By using archival family footage, the film explores the Hemingway legacy. Kopple frames the film with Hemingway’s relationship to her model sister, Margaux, who took her own life in 1996. From examining the suicides of her family members to addressing her own battle with anxiety and depression, Hemingway said making the documentary was “challenging at times.” “Some things were hard,” said Hemingway, an actress, author and mother of two daughters. “But actually, once you speak about them out loud, the power that they have over you dissipates.” Hemingway said she spent years searching for answers to her unhappiness before she discovered a path toward happiness, which includes healthy eating and living more

Mariel Hemingway simply. She writes books about her life, yoga, nutrition and well-being, including her most recent book, “Running with Nature,” which was co-written by her partner Bobby Williams. “You can’t have mental wellness if you don’t have body wellness, and you can’t have body wellness if you don’t have mental wellness,” said Hemingway, who is also producing a film

based on her grandfather’s set of memoirs, “A Moveable Feast.” “To have true holistic health, body, mind and spirit go together.” The San Diego Film Festival will screen “Running from Crazy” at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 5 at University of San Diego’s Theater of the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice. For tickets to “An Evening with Mariel Hemingway,” which includes a discussion moderated by film critic Jeffrey Lyons and a dessert reception, call 1-800-82-SHARP or visit Sharp.com/mesavista. “I think the film is ultimately uplifting,” Hemingway said. “It should give people a feeling of, ‘Wow, there’s something I can do. I’m not alone.’” For more information about the San Diego Film Festival, visit sdfilmfest.com.

Director Judd Apatow will be honored at the festival. “This is a very unfriendly town right now for anybody who’s producing a film in this area,” Strack said. “We are standing for rebuilding some type of a film office function as soon as possible, but to do that in a smart way. “When you think about ‘Rocky,’ I’m sure you think about Philadelphia. When you think about ‘Good Will Hunting,’ you think Boston. We’re trying to bring that back (to San Diego. Everybody who participates in this festival is really helping San Diego to draw attention to itself and build the economy.”

‘How to Fest’ at SD Film Festival BY JEANNE FERRIS What makes a Film Festival different from going to the movies? A film festival is special because independent films, which have become the lifeblood of quality cinema, is not viewed anywhere else and the filmmakers are present at most of the screenings to discuss their films with the audience. Often this includes the director, actors, writers and producers. More than 1,400 films are submitted, mostly from the U.S. but also internationally, and less than 10 percent are selected for the festival. “This year, we have 108 slated for festival viewing,” said Dale Strack, the new chairman of the San Diego Film Festival (SDFF). “We are so excited about the line-up and have had over 1,200 submissions from some very talented, emerging filmmakers.” Independent filmmakers submit their films to festivals because it is their opportunity to see the audience react and speak with them directly. Also important is that their film is viewed by distributors who either buy or arrange distribution for their films into movie theaters in the U.S. and foreign markets. The criteria for an independent film are: •Features average about two hours in length and may be in any genre: action, drama, comedy, etc. •Documentaries are factual films, which are dramatic. •Shorts are short stories and are shorter than feature films, which are usually funded by film grants, non-profit organizations, or out-of pocket funds. They may also qualify for the Oscars, which are bestowed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Also presented in festivals are new big studio (i.e. Paramount, 20th Century Fox, etc.) films, which SDFF will be premiering before being released into movie theaters. The “festing” experience includes the public and filmmakers alike in panels and seminars. Panelists include directors, actors, critics, studio executives and other industry insiders who will discuss the movie business and movies. “I really enjoy the Q&A sessions with the filmmakers after the screenings. It is rare for filmmakers to have the opportunity to have direct interaction with an audience,” said Tonya Mantooth (Emmy Award-winning producer and See FEST, page B18

CUCINA enoteca to open at Flower Hill Promenade Sept. 29

BY KRISTINA HOUCK North County fans of San Diego-based CUCINA urbana will soon be able to enjoy the California-inspired Italian kitchen and wine shop when CUCINA enoteca Del Mar opens Sept. 29 in the former Chevys Fresh Mex location at Flower Hill Promenade. “I have been wanting to open a restaurant in this particular location since 2004,” said proprietor and restaurateur Tracy Borkum. “I just really, really love this area of San Diego. I think

includes Kensington Grill, Urban Kitchen Catering and CUCINA urbana, as well as Irvine-based CUCINA enoteca, which opened in December 2011. The two-story, 7,000-square-foot restaurant’s menu is similar to the San Diego and Irvine locations, featuring pasta, antipasti, pizza and other Italian classics made with local produce, organic and sustainable products. Although Executive Chef Joe Magnanelli oversees all CUCINA locations, Andrew Bachelier, his executive sous chef at CUCINA urbana, will be the chef de cuisine. The pair created a portion of the menu exclusive to the new Del Mar location. “It’s about true Italianstyle cooking that you would have in Italy, which means a lot of local sustainable product — produce, meats, fish,” said Borkum, who lives in San Diego. “There’s some richness to the menu, but then there’s also a lot of lightness to the menu, which is very true of

Italian cooking.” While the design is also similar to the other CUCINA locations, the Del Mar restaurant has an even more open floor plan. All service stations are all on the floor, including the pizza, cheese and salami station in the dining room, Borkum said. “We’re really excited about breaking the barrier between the back and the front,” Borkum said. “Everything’s out front. The kitchen is completely open. We’re not hiding anything. We want people to have that experience of being able to watch the chefs and the cooks prepare the food right in front of them.” Originally from London, Borkum moved to San Diego when she was a teenager. She began her career in the food industry with no formal training and opened her first restaurant, Kensington Grill, in 1995. Although she studied art history and theater in college, Borkum said her background and the food industry are similar. She believes the dining experience is like a theater performance. “We create a stage set when we design a restaurant, and we put on a play for an audience every night,” Borkum said. “The difference is that we’re just wanting the audience to participate more than when you’re sitting in a theater.” Although hours are not yet set, the latest venture from the Urban Kitchen Group will soft open for dinner on Sept. 29. Lunch will begin being served on Oct. 10. “Our mission statement is a trifecta of service, product and the experience of the space,” Borkum said. “I think those three things really come into one when you dine with us. I’m really proud of that. It definitely takes a huge team of people to make that happen.” For more information, visit www.cucinaenoteca.com.

Ask the Plastic Surgeon BY REZA SADRIAN, MD Q. I recently lost a significant amount of weight and I’m on a regular physical fitness schedule, but can’t seem to firm up the skin on my upper arms. Is there a procedure to remedy this condition? A. Yes, there is a solution to your problem through an arm lift plastic surgery procedure and you are not alone. Recent statistics released in April of this year by the American Society of Plastic Surgeon (ASPS) report that arm lifts in women have increased significantly during the last decade. This trend has been fueled in part by sleeveless fashions for women and an increased focus on tonedarm celebrities. In the year 2000, more than 300 women received upper arm lift procedures and in 2012, more than 15,000 women opted for this procedure. Upper arm lifts may include liposuction or a procedure known as “brachioplasty”, in which loose skin is removed from the back of the arms. A brachioplasty requires an incision from the elbow to the armpit, traditionally on the back of the arm, leaving a visible and permanent scar. It’s important to emphasis that proper diet and exercise play and important part in a healthy lifestyle, but genetically pro-

HOME OF THE WEEK

REZA SADRIAN, MD grammed conditions lead to different accumulations of fat in particular areas that may not be remedied with diet and exercise. Brachioplasty is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under local anesthetic. There is not a tremendous amount of postoperative discomfort, but patients must limit upper arm activity for approximately two weeks. The lifestyle and commitment to exercise on behalf of the patient will help determine the success of the surgical procedure. The result will reveal a better appearance if there are toned muscles underneath the skin. If there is good existing skin and muscle tone, liposuction may be an option, but is it not uncommon to undergo liposuction

first and then return for a brachioplasty if further refinement is desired. In conclusion, a recent poll conducted by the ASPS in conjunction with the April study revealed that women are paying closer attention to the arms of female celebrities and politicians in the news. According to the poll, women most admire the arms of first lady Michelle Obama, followed closely by actress Jennifer Anniston. As always, it’s best to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon when contemplating plastic surgery procedures to ensure optimum results are achieved. Reza Sadrian, MD, is one of very few plastic surgeons on a nationally-recognized level dually certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. He is a Diplomate, American Board Plastic Surgery and serves as Medical Director for the Plastic Surgery and Laser Institute of San Diego. In addition to performing cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in his state- of- the- art AAAASF certified surgical suites, he offers medical grade skin care products, non-surgical treatments (including injectable Botox and fillers) and laser treatments. Dr. Sadrian can be reached at his office on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla in the Ximed Medical Building by calling (858) 457-1111 or via the web at sadriancosmeticsurgery.com.
