RSF School teachers ask for raise, better benefits Teachers set to begin contract negotiations BY KAREN BILLING R. Roger Rowe School teachers requested a raise and improved benefits when they made a plea for their new contract negotiations at the March 7 Rancho Santa Fe School Board meeting. “Rowe can do more for their
teachers,” said Steve Riviere, a 15year teacher at Rowe. “We’ve done more with less for a community of more, more than almost anyone else. It’s your turn to do the right thing.” Riviere made the teachers’ “sunshine proposal” to begin the process of negotiations before a room filled with teachers who attended the meeting. Each teacher stood to introduce themselves and
state their years of service, which ranged from three to 23 years with the district. Last May the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association made its initial proposal to the board on its new three-year contracts, requesting increased salary and benefits, and a continuation of the board policy to allow faculty children to attend R. Roger Rowe. The district did not complete

Patrol chief credits CHP with improving parking situation in RSF Village BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s overtime contract with the California Highway Patrol and a new focus on parking enforcement has tripled the number of parking violations issued in one year. Rancho Santa Fe Association Associate Planner Chris Livoni reported at the March 7 board meeting that parking violations went from 40 in 2011 to 125 in 2012. “This is directly related to the increased enforcement of parking in the village areas which began in February,” Livoni said. “We really targeted that area not only with overtime officers but regular beat offi-
cers as well and that combination has really freed up parking in the village,” RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said. “There’s been a lot of positive feedback.” Wellhouser and RSF Association Director Eamon Callahan noted that a year ago the feedback was not as positive from village merchants, but both said that attitudes are changing and they’re seeing the benefits of increased turnover in village parking — it helps retail and restaurants for potential customers to not have to circle and circle the block hunting for a parking space. In addition to cracking See CHP, page 28
41 Cielo home lots sold sion Ranch, which is south Turf track widening approved
BY JOE TASH A Carlsbad-based developer has purchased 41 custom home lots in the Cielo master-planned community in Rancho Santa Fe for $10.25 million. The lots range in size from 9,300 to 23,900 square feet. The purchaser was California West Ventures II, LLC. According the California West Communities website, the company is also the developer of Valencia Del Sur, part of the community of Del Sur, which is east of Rancho Santa Fe; and Mis-
of Lake Hodges. The seller was Rancho Cielo Estates LLC, and the broker representing both sides of the transaction was Colliers International, according to a news release issued by the brokerage company. The Cielo community is north of Del Dios Highway at Calle Ambiente. It covers 1,740 acres, with 528 home sites and 60 percent open space. Cielo Village, a commercial center, is located at the entrance to the gated community.
BY JOE TASH A long-planned widening of the turf track at the Del Mar Fairgrounds received approval from the board of directors of the 22nd District Agricultural Association on Tuesday, March 12, in an effort to improve track safety and put San Diego County in the running for the prestigious Breeder’s Cup horse racing event. “This is a really big
deal,” said board president Adam Day. The board approved the project, which is budgeted at $3.7 million, on a unanimous vote. Along with approving the project itself, the board also approved a “mitigated negative declaration,” an environmental document which spells out steps the district will take to minimize or eliminate potential environmental im-

RSF Association board approves collections policy BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved a formal collections policy for past-due assessments at its March 7 meeting. RSF Association Manager Pete Smith said for years they never had an issue with past-due assessments but it has been an increasing problem in recent years because of the economic downturn. The policy gets into more detail about the timeline and the powers of the board, according to Steve Comstock, Association chief financial officer. In the past it took two consecutive delinquencies before a lien could be placed, meaning upward of 18 months could go by before the Association identified a financial hardship. Comstock said last year they switched the policy to help staff identify a delinquency earlier; a lien can be placed after each delinquent assessment. “It helps out substantially with the collections process,� said Comstock According to the policy, the first assessment is due to the RSF Association on Nov. 1 and is delinquent as of Dec. 5. The second installment is due on April 20 and is delinquent if not paid by April 20. Penalties are 8 percent of the first installment if not paid by Dec. 5, and 3 percent of the first installment if not paid before April 20. The second installment penalty is 3 percent if not paid on or before April 20. Any outstanding unpaid assessment is assessed an interest rate of 1 percent beginning on July 1. Notices of delinquency are mailed out with at least 15 days notice of the board hearing to determine the violation and suspend membership privileges. Once a membership is suspended, the Association can begin the process of filing the lien.
RSF Golf Club loan restructured RSF Association board OKs funds for BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association approved the RSF Golf Club’s request to recast its loan with the RSF Association at a current market rate and adjust its monthly payment. When the loan was approved in March of 2012, the Golf Club requested the ability to return every year to request a recasting of the loan’s maturity to stay within the five-year limitation and take advantage of the current interest rate. The original note rate was fixed at 2 percent, while the current market rate quoted by Union Bank’s money desk for a five year CD is 1.2 percent. The club is also considering an additional principal reduction of $125,000 before the loan is recast and would bring the total principal reduction over the last 12 months to $225,000. The loan with the Association is one of two the Golf Club has — the larger one was refinanced with Pacific Western Bank in 2012 at a fixed rate of 4 percent with an amortizing payment of $35,236. “Our loan has a shorter time fuse and they’d like to get it off the books,� said RSF Association Manager Pete Smith.

BY KAREN BILLING The last pieces of the Village parks improvement project are slated to be completed, as the Rancho Santa Fe Association board voted March 7 to pledge $38,500 from the Covenant Enhancement Fund to construct park extensions and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) ramps for the parks. Chris Livoni, associate planner, said the money is part of the $106,000 approved by the Association board for park improvement work in 2010, but because it has been so long since the approval, they decided to rebid the work and come back to the board for approval. Of the $106,000 approved, approximately $64,000 has been spent on planting and irrigation installation, new benches, trash receptacles and the decomposed granite path that winds through the parks. In 2010, the work was estimated to cost $41,500. The lowest bid currently is $31,827 from Pal General Engineering. The additional $6,500 is for additional engineering and permitting costs.
Tuesday at the board’s regular monthly meeting that about twice as many people attended this event as have come to previous gun shows staged by Crossroads of the West, the company that runs the shows under a contract with the fairgrounds. The company’s current contract runs for three more years. Fennell said people began showing up about 4 a.m.,
some five hours before the show’s 9 a.m. opening on Saturday, and that 5,000 to 6,000 people were in line by the time the show opened. Board president Adam Day said the number of law enforcement officers and private security guards has been increased at the gun show, following shootings at gun shows in other cities.
RSF School board changes meeting times
The extensions of the current curb lines will make more of a peninsula on the two park edges at Avenida de Acacias and Linea del Cielo and on the other side at La Gracia and Avenida de Acacias. The ADA ramps were requested to be revisited by a member of the Association with challenges who had trouble getting into the parks at last year’s July 4 parade. “This is something that we really should do for our community,� RSF Association Vice President Anne Feighner said, noting that a number of people with disabilities in the community could benefit from the improved accessibility. She requested the work be done by this year’s July 4 parade and Livoni said they should be able to meet that timeline. The RSF Association will be able to submit a reimbursement for the work from the Rancho Santa Fe Community Services
District as almost all of the proposed work occurs within the County right-of-way.

Former Major League pitcher shares inspirational story at TPHS baseball benefit BY KAREN BILLING Former Major League pitcher Jim Abbott was born without a right hand but he never let it be an excuse, he never believed he was different and he never let it stop him from accomplishing his dreams. Abbott shared stories of his inspiring baseball career at Torrey Pines High School on March 6. The event was presented by the Torrey Pines High School Foundation to benefit the TPHS Baseball Program and it turned out to be the most successful fundraiser ever held for the baseball program. Abbott spoke of the joys of his baseball life, from getting his first baseball card at his locker during spring training as a 21-year-old rookie to the improbable thrill of throwing a no hitter wearing the pinstripes in Yankee Stadium. Most importantly, he talked about his ability to adapt, a lesson that he believes anyone can apply to everything. “What’s important is how you respond to challenges because challenge comes to us all,” Abbott said. When challenge comes,
Baseball great Jim Abbot speaks at Torrey Pines High School. he said the question is always the same: “What are you going to do about it?” “I believe there is strength and resiliency in all of us,” Abbott said. A close friend of Torrey Pines’ new head baseball coach Kirk McCaskill, whom he played with in the Angels organization, Abbott now resides in Orange County. Abbott was raised in Flint, Michigan and was a
standout pitcher for Flint Central High School, where he also played quarterback. He fulfilled a dream of playing baseball for the University of Michigan and won two Big 10 championships in his freshman and junior year. He had a career 26-8 record at Michigan and saw his number retired by the school in 2009. In 1987 he became the first baseball player to win

the Sullivan Award, the top amateur sports award, and played for Team USA in the 1988 Pan American Games, part of the first American team to beat Cuba in Cuba. Abbott was also on the mound at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, pitching a complete game to help the U.S. beat Japan in the gold medal game. The Angels drafted Abbott eighth overall and he
went straight to the Major Leagues without a stop at the minors, enjoying a 1212 record, the most games won by a rookie without playing in the minors. He won 18 games one season and finished third in the American League Cy Young votes. In 1993 Abbott threw a no hitter as a member of the New York Yankees. Last year he released the book “Imperfect: An Improbable Life” with Tim Brown and Abbott works as a motivational speaker, sharing his lessons in the word “Adapt.” He preaches the lessons of the word “Adapt” and also breaks it down into its component letters. A for adjustability; D for determination, the courage and awareness to block out negativity; A for accountability, the obligation to make the most out of what we’ve been given; P for perseverance, the refusal to quit; and T for trust, “know what it is that is your strength, follow through without hesitation, without fear, with conviction and trust,” he said. Abbott learned about adjustability early on as he had to learn how to do
things in a new and different way after being born missing his right hand. “I never wanted to make a big deal about that,” Abbott said. “I knew there were a lot of people in the world that had it worse than me.” He said it wasn’t always easy — he knew the loneliness of low expectations and he knew what it felt like to be on the outside looking in. But even in a tough town like Flint, he found generous and open-minded people in his community. He still remembers the teacher who came up with how the could tie his shoes on his own and the football coach who figured out a way he could take a snap using forearm. Those small adjustments represented optimism and a belief that there was another way to do things. He learned how to throw and catch a baseball with one hand — he demonstrated for the crowd, throwing with a TPHS baseball player, quickly shifting his glove after he threw the ball. “I was faster without a See PITCHER, Page 30

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Cricket team finds permanent home at Del Mar Polo Fields BY CLAIRE HARLIN While cricket may be one of the most-watched sports internationally, highly regarded for the strategy it requires and values it instills, it’s little known to people in the United States. Therefore, it’s not easy to start a youth cricket program that requires adequate fields, funding and facilities. That’s the challenge Rancho Santa Fe resident Gangaram Singh has been up against for the past five years, since the lifelong cricket player was asked by a local YMCA to start a team. He’s since moved the practice location twice and built a new batting cage, and he said vying for use of public fields is near-impossible when up against sports such as soccer and football. But Singh, who is the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at San Diego State University’s College of Business Administration, has still managed to train more than 100 kids through the program as it has evolved over the years. Now, many of the field challenges are gone as the Del Mar Polo Fields last month became the regular practice location for the team, which meets each Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. “It gives us a home,” said Singh, of the team, whose members range in age from 6 to 17, “and more flexibility in terms of adding more days, if we wish.” While Singh has seen great response from kids in his program, he has been hesitant to further develop or expand it until now — and he thinks the team is poised to flourish. Not only does the team have the support of a handful of volunteer coaches, which were hard to find, but he said donors have increasingly

Kids practice cricket at the Del Mar Polo Fields. stepped forward to support the education of the sport, and the partnership with the polo fields serves as “the anchor” that the team needed, he said. Not to mention, one of the team’s coaches, Rancho Santa Fe resident Raj Singh Ghai, is a former professional cricket player from India — “the Babe Ruth of Cricket,” said Singh. Now that the team, which has usually consisted of no more than 10 players, is set for expansion, Singh hopes to add a more rigorous team for serious players, akin to “competitive” as opposed to “recreational” in the game of soccer. Singh said he thinks that once kids — and especially parents — are exposed to the values that cricket instills in its players, the sport will have a chance of becoming more popular. Having grown up in Guyana and played cricket his entire life like many kids in other countries do, Singh said he thanks cricket for much of the success he has experienced today, as it promotes respect, fairness and good sportsmanship, among other values. “If somebody is cheating or doing something wrong, you will hear someone say, ‘That’s not cricket,’” Singh said. “The spirit of the game means you never cheat, you never disagree with the umpire, you respect your opposition and you respect your teammates. You are the ambassador of the game, and the game is bigger and more powerful than you. It’s unpredictable, just like life.” For information about the team, contact Singh at gsingh@mail.sdsu.edu.
Hot air balloons reportedly flying too low in RSF BY KAREN BILLING At its March 7 meeting, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board discussed an ongoing issue of hot air balloons flying at too low altitudes in the Covenant areas. Recently the Association heard a report of a balloon coming down very low over the Osuna Ranch, creating a problem with the horses. Association Vice President Anne Feighner said she recently witnessed a balloon come down very low over La Granada, extremely close to the site of February’s fatal car accident. Another one she saw almost landed on the golf course.
RSF Association Assistant Manager Ivan Holler said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) does have regulations that restrict balloon heights in congested areas. The minimum altitude is 500 feet. “The challenge is getting the registration number of the bag to report them,” Holler said, noting it is not enough to identify the balloon by the design. Holler said if residents do see a low-flying balloon, try to get the bag number and report it to the Association, who can forward the information to the FAA.

On Thursday, March 28, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club will host Azim Khamisa as its featured guest speaker at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, located at 1505 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Committing his life to halting the continuing cycle of violence among youth, Khamisa became a social activist after his 20-year-old son, Tariq, was murdered in 1995 by a 14-year- old while delivering pizzas. Out of unspeakable grief, Khamisa was inspired to transform his loss through the miraculous power of forgiveness and compassion rather than revenge. Believing there were “victims at both ends of the gun,” Khamisa forgave the young man who killed his son and founded the Tariq Foundation to break the cycle of youth violence by saving lives, teaching peace and planting seeds of hope in their future. His anti-youth violence programs have reached millions through international speak-
Azim Khamisa ing, public and corporate workshops, video and audio recordings and four published books, including the award-winning “From Murder to Forgiveness” and the Random House book “The Secrets of the Bulletproof Spirit,” coauthored with Jillian Quinn. Khamisa has received over 65 humanitarian awards from people and organizations as diverse as the Dalai Llama, the White House, the Children’s Defense Fund, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Child Safety Network. This month Khamisa was appointed as President
to the Child Safety Network in CSN’s continuing mission to make America a safer place for children. He is also the founder and National Director of the Constant and Never Ending Improvement program. In June 2004, Khamisa participated in the Synthesis Dialogues, with His Holiness the Dalai Llama, held at the Pope’s summer residence in Castelgandolfo, Italy. A not-to-bemissed speaker, Azim’s profound work has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, People Magazine, U.S.A. Today, Oprah Magazine, NBC’s Today Show, Nightly News, CBS’s Early Morning Show and KPBS’s Fresh Air. Autographed copies of Khamisa’s books will be available for purchase following his presentation.

Solana Santa Fe students recently celebrated the birthday of one of their favorite authors, Dr. Seuss, by reading his stories and remembering favorite characters from his books. “Dr. Seuss,” a pen name for Theodor Seuss Geisel, was born March 2, 1904. His birthday has been adopted as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. A La Jolla resident, Geisel published 46 children’s books, including the The Cat in the Hat (1957), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957) and Green Eggs and Ham (1960). Giesel died in 1991.

Two Nativity School moms ‘rock’ school spirit for annual gala BY LORY FISHER It was only natural that the two moms at The Nativity School who have been orchestrating the last 10 pep rallies would set their sights on another form of expressing their love of the school. Jana Insogna and Kim Seiber, whose children attend the school, have led more than 160 overly excited students in chants, cheers, singing and dancing all in the name of school spirit. Insogna was once a cheerleader and Seiber still teaches dance classes at North County Dance Arts in Carmel Valley. Both have music and rhythm in their veins and it shows when they’re pumping up students for the next big game or athletic showdown. Now, they want to pump you up for The Nativity School’s annual fundraising Gala event titled “Party Like Rocks STARS,” scheduled for May 4. The “Party Like Rock STARS” theme is an homage to The Nativity School’s mascot – the Nativity STARS. It is also an inference to let your hair down and just have fun. No black ties and gowns at this event! Guests are encouraged to model their latest “rock n’ roll chic” fashions. This will certainly make dancing to the music of Orange County cover band The Trip a liberating experience. Insogna and Seiber’s primary goal is to make sure everyone has a rockin’ good time while fundraising for the school they love. Funds raised at the event will go to benefit The Nativity School’s curriculum and programs that directly affect the quality of educa-
TURF continued from page 1 pacts from the project. The California Coastal Commission also must approve the project, and that panel is expected to consider the turf track expansion at its meeting in April, said director David Watson. The 22nd DAA operates the state-owned fairgrounds. The property is home to the annual San Diego County Fair, as well as a horse racing meet operated by the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. The fairgrounds currently has two horse-racing tracks – the turf track and a polytrack, which runs outside the turf track. The project approved by the board
Kim Seiber and Jana Insogna tion. The Nativity School is a faith based Catholic K-8th private school serving the local parish. Insogna and Seiber graciously volunteered to cochair this major school event despite their busy schedules. In doing so, they set a great example to many about taking a leap of faith and stepping up to help when needed. Their attention to every detail is fueled by their incredible school spirit and commitment to make this party perfect and unforgettable. When asked why they decided to chair the Gala, Insogna said, “We believe it’s important to give back to the community of The Nativity School to show our gratitude for the topnotch education and the gift of faith that our children receive here day in and day out.” In addition, Seiber added that her mom set the example in her Catholic elementary school days to be involved in school events.
will widen the turf track by 25 percent. Day said the primary purpose of the work is to improve safety for both horses and riders. But widening the track will also allow more horses to compete in each race, improving the track’s betting “handle,” and bringing in more revenue to the district. By widening the turf track, Del Mar will put itself in contention for hosting the Breeder’s Cup, an annual two-day horse racing event scheduled this year for Nov. 1 and 2 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. “It’s been described to me as bigger and better than the Super Bowl in terms of economic impact,” Day said
Nativity STAR student Gavin Fisher Both moms are certainly great examples to their children and others on how to give back to their community through personal time and effort. In order to make the 17th annual Nativity School Gala event fresh, the cochairs decided to take this party off campus to The Crosby Clubhouse, located in the private gated community just east of the school. The festivities are scheduled for Saturday, May 4, at 6 p.m. It is open to the school and parish community and tickets can be purchased in the school office for $125 per person. Guests will enjoy delicious food stations, an open bar, silent and live auctions and a rockin’ live concert that will make them want to dance. The ladies and their organizing committee are putting the finishing touches on what will be a soiree not to be missed. If you have interest in attending, helping or donating to this event, please call The Nativity School at 858756-6763 or email office@ thenativityschool.org.
of the Breeder’s Cup. If the project receives approval from the Coastal Commission, work is scheduled to begin on Sept. 5, the day after this year’s Del Mar race meet ends, Josh Rubinstein, executive vice president with the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, told the board. Construction is expected to take about eight months, and will be completed before the 2014 race meet begins in July, Day said. The turf that will be used to increase the size of the turf track is now being grown in the Coachella Valley, Rubinstein said.

TPHS soccer star ready for Yale BY ROB LEDONNE It might sound like a bit of a stretch, but 17 year-old Katie Fletcher first fell into what would become a lifelong love affair with soccer as a total fluke. “I played intramural soccer with friends at school for fun, but one day a friend of mine went to try out for the Rancho Santa Fe Attack club,� she said. “I went with her and tried out on a whim and got placed on the best team; my friend didn’t.� Since those humble beginnings playing club soccer as a kid, Fletcher’s encountered startling success on and off the field. Just recently she played her last game as part of Torrey Pines High School, and upon graduating is jetting off to the East Coast to study and play collegiate soccer at prestigious Yale University, the Connecticut Ivy League school. “I’m just extremely excited I get this opportunity, because so many people don’t,� she realizes, noting “especially how competitive recruiting is.� Her path to Yale was no easy task, however, and it involved a significant amount of both hard work and luck along the way. Fletcher played with the Rancho Santa Fe Attack until she was 10, then between the ages of 10 and 17 she played for San Diego Surf, another club. All the while,

she was playing soccer for Torrey Pines, sandwiched in between her sophomore and junior years attending and playing for Santa Fe Christian. Explained Fletcher about her grueling schedule, which involved both soccer and keeping her grades in top shape, “I was never bothered by the commitment. I was always the one choosing to do it so I didn’t even notice.� It took Fletcher changing clubs again, from San Diego Surf to Albion, to help her future take shape. “I
wasn’t that set on playing college soccer, but I had worked so hard academically in high school that I knew I could use my grades to go where I wanted. One day the director of the Albion club and my individual coach, Noah Gins, asked me where I wanted to play after high school. I told him Yale was my first and only choice.� It just so happened that Gins had a friend who was the soccer recruiter for Yale, so Katie had a key “in,� and flew to Connecticut to check out the school and try out for its team. “After the tryout, they said they were going to call me in a few weeks to let me know their decision. So, I went home back to San Diego and he wound up calling me the next day and offered me a spot. I told him that I love the school, I loved the campus, and I’d love to play for you.� The past few months have been bittersweet for Fletcher; she recently had her final game at Torrey Pines which she says felt inherently different than any other. “I never wanted to win as badly as we did this year. You could just feel it in the air... For the last game, we told the younger players to play hard as you can because so much was on the line for us. You can’t imag-

ine what it’s like until you’re in that position.� Fletcher and her teammates wound up losing to East Lake, but she doesn’t let that tarnish her years playing as competitive as possible and having her friends and family by her side. “My mom, from the first game I ever played, has probably missed only a couple; she never misses a game for anything and I love it, it makes it easier. My dad was there every game this season too.� All the while, she’s kept up stellar grades — even after being accepted by Yale. Next fall, however, she’ll be playing on a different field, for a different school, with a different coach, and even on a different coast — but she’s looking forward to the change. “I love San Diego, but I would have been bummed if I stayed on the West Coast my entire life. I want to experience different things.� Concerning her soccer career, Katie takes it all in stride. “I think — for sure — at moments I was in the right place at the right time, but in between there was so much time and effort and sacrifice,� she sums up. “This is the ultimate goal, it’s what I’ve been working on forever. I’m glad everything happened the way it did.�
Jon Wallace was named as the new Head Football Coach at Santa Fe Christian Schools today. Wallace has been an Assistant Coach since 2004 and Head JV Coach at SFC since 2007. “I am honored to be given the opportunity to serve as Head Football Coach at Santa Fe Christian,� said Wallace. “I look forward to continuing the excellent tradition that has been established at SFC over the years. The boys have already been hard at work, and we look forward to another great season!� SFC Athletic Director Tom Seitz stated, “We believed it was very important to maintain the consistency of the program. Jon has been an integral part of the success of the program over the years and will have a tremendous influence on the students of SFC. We look forward to his leadership of
Santa Fe Christian Head Football Coach Jon Wallace the program.� Wallace takes over the reigns from Coach Nick Ruscetta who served as Head Coach for the last six years during which time he compiled a record of 39-13. The Eagles are coming off the most successful season in the program’s history, advancing to the Division IV State Championship Game.

Education Matters/Opinion
Letters to the Editor/Opinion
The evolving vision of Canyon Crest Academy BY MARSHA SUTTON T h e first project at Canyon Crest Academy using newly-apMarsha Sutton proved b o n d money will take place this summer, to pay for athletic fields and stadium work. Over the next two years, more field and stadium work will be done, costing $20 million. For a school that opened in 2004 with a stated focus on the arts and technology, spending a huge chunk of money to relocate and renovate sports fields seems an odd way to begin spending the district’s $449 million in bond funds. Yet the district says this expenditure is consistent with both the community’s wishes and appropriate use of public funding. I freely admit my bias against the over-emphasis on athletics, when taxpayer money could be used to bet-
ter conditions in the classroom. I also acknowledge that this position is not altogether popular. When CCA first opened, I was cheered by the thought that at last there was a school with proper perspective on the athletics-academics dichotomy. In a column published in this newspaper Dec. 12, 2003, eight months before CCA opened, Rick Schmitt, now San Dieguito Union High School District’s deputy superintendent, said, “The new school is for someone who really loves the arts and technology” and that CCA’s “mission to provide a focus on arts and technology is an integral part of its overall curriculum.” Schmitt was principal at Torrey Pines High School in 2003 when it was suffering from serious overcrowding. He and CCA founding principal David Jaffe worked together the year before CCA opened to help parents and students differentiate between the two schools.
Canyon Crest began as a school with less emphasis on athletics than Torrey Pines. And like San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas, there would be no football or cheerleading – a basic, and most welcome, tenet. “If you’re a football player, you don’t want Canyon Crest,” Jaffe said back in 2003, to my silent applause. Athletics were a part of the school certainly, but more minimally at first. The attraction for many CCA students was that they could play the sport of their choice without stressful tryouts and the intense competition from super-jocks. But Jaffe soon found that many parents and students wanted their sports, and athletics moved up in importance. “The question I get asked most often is whether a certain sport will be available,” Jaffe said later, to my silent groaning. “When Canyon Crest opened, athletics almost was an afterthought,” Schmitt said in 2010. “Families wanted sports and so they
grew sports.” So athletic offerings gradually increased. By 2010, nearly 700 CCA students participated in athletic programs, according to current CCA principal Brian Kohn. In a dispiriting demonstration of support for athletes over scholars, that same year the school’s 8:15 a.m. start time was moved to 8 a.m. to accommodate students playing sports in the afternoon. A dismissal at 3 instead of 3:15 allowed student athletes to miss less of their fourth-period classes when traveling for games. Later start times, which allow exhausted teenagers to get more sleep, have been proven without a doubt through extensive research to improve not just academics but emotional health and social well-being also. “The research is real,” Schmitt said in a column in 2010. Yet, start times were moved earlier, a decision dictated by the needs of student athletes over academic See VISION, page 21

I’m Impressed The Sequester: Not a reduction in spending; Just a reduction in the rate of spending. President Obama has played the fear card many times including on Feb. 19, 2013, Source http://tinyurl.com/ayaqeyt: “Now, if Congress allows this meat-cleaver approach to take place, it will jeopardize our military readiness; it will eviscerate job-creating investments in education and energy and medical research…Emergency responders… ability to help communities respond to and recover from disasters will be degraded. Border Patrol agents will see their hours reduced. FBI agents will be furloughed. Federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let criminals go. Air traffic controllers and airport security will see cutbacks, which means more delays at airports across the country. Thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off. Tens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find childcare for their kids. Hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose access to primary care and preventive care like flu vaccinations and cancer screenings…. [T]he threat of these cuts has forced the Navy to delay an aircraft carrier [The USS Truman] that was supposed to deploy to the Persian Gulf…. [T]he burden is all on first responders or seniors or middle-class families.” Additionally: There will be impacts on early education programs; nutrition programs; small business loan guarantees; mine inspections; aid to Native Americans; Hurricane Sandy relief; furloughs for embassy and prison guards; construction workers; longer waits for gun background checks; delays on tax refunds and disability payments; delayed or non-existent EPA inspections; homelessness and work place deaths will rise; delays in obtaining passports and visas; hospital closures; cyber security impacts. Who knew? “So these cuts are not smart. They are not fair. They will hurt our economy. They will add hundreds of thousands of Americans to the unemployment rolls,” also said President Obama. He was offered the ability to make discretionary cuts and turned it down. However if the federal government can operate all of these programs with only $85 billion—yes, I am impressed! We certainly don’t need the $2.3 trillion budget. Hooray! Country saved. No, Obama is a petulant, divisive, fearmonger. Nick Dieterich,Rancho Santa Fe
Rancho Santa Fe Review
VISION continued from page 20 considerations. In addition to the increasing presence of sports programs, school size has also grown. CCA was designed to be open to all students districtwide but with limited enrollment through a lottery system, like San Dieguito Academy. But the new bond measure includes a project at CCA to add another classroom building to expand capacity from its current 1,800 to a maximum of 2,250. Although class sizes,
which sometimes approach 40, are the same at all schools, the feel of a smaller school campus is very different from a large school. Note how the district uses small size as a selling point to try to attract more students to under-enrolled Earl Warren over bulging Carmel Valley Middle School. So with Canyon Crest at 2,250 and Torrey Pines at 2,600, will there be that much difference any more? Except football, of course. A unique, special school There’s a sense that the original vision of Canyon Crest has shifted – $20 mil-
lion for sports fields, start times shifted to accommodate athletes, enrollment capacity increasing. How did we get here? The district maintains that CCA continues to be a unique, special school that has never veered from its focus on the arts and technology or its small school feel, and that athletics and adding a few hundred more kids doesn’t transform the school’s fundamental vision in any meaningful way. In a meeting Feb. 21 with Schmitt, SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah and associate superintendent of business services Eric Dill,
we discussed the perception that CCA has drifted away from its founding principles. “David [Jaffe] didn’t realize there would be as much interest in athletics, and it grew organically from the community,” Schmitt said. “It was a surprise to many of us.” Schmitt said early on CCA’s parents wanted “coaches, bigger teams, bigger leagues, better facilities.” Athletics at CCA grew, he said, “from internal pressure that David really didn’t anticipate.” Ken Noah said the district received feedback from CCA parents grumbling that
the district promised better fields and hadn’t delivered. Athletics is now an integral part of CCA, but the district claims it’s been there from the early days. After opening in 2004, the vision statement for the school became a commitment “to academics, the arts and athletics sharing equal status and importance.” “I think it’s fair to say that CCA continues to have its focus in the curriculum on technology and the arts,” said Dill, “but the extra-curricular for students is in parity [with other schools] with the exception of football and cheer.”
March 14, 2013
Schmitt said the school has never lost sight of its commitment to provide outstanding arts and technology classes, alongside traditional academic classes and sports programs. Schmitt said the school “has put a lot of effort, energy and staffing in the arts and tech more than any other schools” and has more arts and technology classes than the district’s other seven schools combined He provided a list of classes exclusive to Canyon Crest, including: Advanced Digital Imaging, Advanced Fine Art Digital Photogra-

Michael Peter Flynn, MD 1924 – 2013
Majors Padres
AA Storm
Michael Flynn was born July 17, 1924, in Ireland, growing up in Lackagh near Galway, as the eldest of seven siblings. At the age of eight, after reading letters from cousins sent as nuns to a distant heathen land called Los Angeles, he set himself the goal to somehow work his way to this wondrous place of sunshine. He earned his medical degree at University College, Galway (now the National University of Ireland, Galway). Within months he was aboard a steamship on his way to New York and a surgical residency to become an ear, nose and throat specialist (otolaryngologist). After training at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary he moved to Los Angeles to set up practice. He met his future wife, Heidi Mullenger, on a blind date they were both pressed into. Soon it was discovered that they had lived across the street from each other while in New York, but had never met. Not much later
they were a couple and again living in New York as Michael took up residency for further training in plastic surgery at Cornell. Once done it was back to Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. And not long after that son Peter and daughter Kate came along. From the 1950s to the mid-1980s Michael practiced as a highly regarded ENT specialist and plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. Upon his retirement, Michael and Heidi settled down in North San Diego County, building a home in Rancho Santa Fe. Michael was an avid and competitive tennis player, an enthusiastic jogger, and connoisseur of simple yet excellent food. He is survived by wife, Heidi; son, Peter Flynn and his wife Deanna of San Diego; daughter, Dr. Kate Flynn and her partner Dr. Tony King of Bristol in the United Kingdom; and grandchildren, Liam, Lydia and Daniel. In Ireland he is survived by sister, Dr. Betty O’Malley, and brothers, Thomas Flynn and Richard Flynn. He was preceded in death by brothers, David Flynn, Kieran Flynn and Dr. Martin Flynn. His last years were spent in slow gradual decline of which he never once complained. He fought on stoically to the very end, dying peacefully in the evening of Monday the 25th of February, 2013. He remained a source of strength to everyone around him. Michael P. Flynn, a good man who is sorely missed. Please sign the guest

Orville George Sansone 1922 – 2013 Orville George Sansone, known as “Van” by his friends and family, passed away peacefully March 5, 2013, at a skilled nursing facility in San Luis Obispo. Van was born in Raritan, New Jersey, on July 2, 1922, the youngest of five siblings. He joined the U.S. Army Air Corps during WWII and, after the war, he obtained his CPA credential. Van then moved to California with his wife, Babette, who preceded Van in death in 1959. Settling in Riverside, California, where he continued to reside for approximately twenty five years, Van was active in the community, serving as a Planning Commissioner as well as a City Councilman. During this time he built freeways throughout California as a contractor for the State. During the early ‘70s Van moved to Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego County, where he retired. Van is survived by his wife, Colleen; his five children; six grandchildren; and two great-granddaughters. His family would like to extend their appreciation to all of the caregivers who gave so much of themselves in order to afford him comfort during his last months.

These sessions will be 30 minutes in length and topics include: “UC Admissions”; “How to Write a College Essay”; “Student Perspective: How to Transition Successfully to College”; and “How to Apply to Selective and Highly Selective Colleges.” For more information please visit www.sduhsdcollegefair.blogspot.com.
down on parking offenders, Livoni said the overtime CHP program was a valuable resource in controlling traffic in the Covenant. “We continue to achieve measurable results and seem to be accomplishing the goals of addressing speed and safety on Covenant roadways,” Livoni said of the program that has been in place since 2004. The CHP worked 113 overtime shifts in 2012; the shifts are generally eight hours although occasionally they will work four-hour shifts. During that time, officers issued 700 moving vio-
lations; the peak came in June with 103. “Moving violations were slightly up but generally the number has trended downward since 2006,” Livoni said. In 2012, 28 percent of moving violations were for speeding, down from 35 percent in 2011. The officers also issued 200 verbal warnings — Livoni said even when a ticket is not issued, seeing a vehicle pulled over by the CHP serves as a deterrent to other drivers. “The presence of the CHP really affects driving habits as a whole,” Livoni said. Wellhouser often coordinates with the CHP when there are specific areas they
would like to target. “From our standpoint it’s really been a fantastic program. We’re seeing a decline not only in crashes but in the severity of crashes,” Wellhouser said. He said they still have issues with speeding in certain hot spots and there is also the always tricky issue of cyclists. Wellhouser said they have asked CHP to address cyclists, and riders are being pulled over and ticketed when they don’t obey the rules of the road. The CHP’s public information officers have been meeting with local bike clubs to remind them of the rules.
better in rewarding its teachers. Teachers have gone without a raise for the last three years. He said the district ranks 13th out of 40 San Diego County school districts in teacher salaries and when benefits are added in, the district drops to 20th. While the percent spent on teacher salaries is among the lowest of basic aid districts, the percent spent on classified salaries ranks the highest. He said the “salary stagnation” doesn’t make sense
as the district has one of the highest reserves in the county ($5 million in reserves and a $4 million endowment) and a “predictable income stream” has been generated by the passage of Prop 30 and increased property values. “You have the money and now you have to do the right thing,” Riviere said. Riviere said he is feeling even more squeezed by the fact that healthcare costs have increased. He has to pay one-third of his monthly salary toward
healthcare costs. The district’s dental plan doesn’t cover orthodontics so he said his daughter’s “beautiful smile” costs an additional $6,000. “My choice to lead a single income family shouldn’t hurt so much but it does and I’ve had to reduce the level of coverage because it didn’t make sense,” Riviere said. “The district’s health benefits are so lacking that half of the staff declines to take coverage.” Riviere noted that funds
from declined coverage go back to the district and could help pay for raises. According to teacher Steven Rossier, the teachers asked the school board in a letter to consider not using an attorney for contract negotiations as it has led to a contentious atmosphere in the past. The district has continued to use an attorney so the teachers have to bring representation to the table as well. Rossier said most districts in the area do not go to the negotiating table with attorneys.

As everyone is aware, we have had a declining budget for the past several years. We will need to wait to see what the Faculty Association is requesting,” said RSF School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney. The teachers say they
hope that they can get an increase in salary that matches their value. “We are a uniquely smart group that works extremely hard to create an experience for the children that is remarkable,” Riviere said, noting that their work resulted in an API (Academic Performance Index) of 963 last year, the district’s highest score ever. He said while he thinks Rowe is a wonderful school and he wouldn’t want to teach anywhere else, he thinks the district can do

VISION continued from page 21 phy, Exploring Computer Science, Robotics & Engineering Technology, Audio Tech & Music Recording, Recording Arts, and Stage Hand Technician. Learning in trailers When Canyon Crest Academy opened in the fall of 2004, 350 brave ninth-grade souls took a chance and invested their futures in a school that wasn’t even built yet due to developer, city of San Diego, and state bureaucratic delays beyond the district’s control. Urgency and creativity, however, joined forces, and the district managed to convince all involved agencies to allow portable buildings on the school
site to house students during that first year of construction. The students came to learn in trailers on a dirt lot, with the promise of rare leadership opportunities and the ability to define the high school in ways that sounded almost spiritual. They became a foundational part of something outstanding and unique and were given the chance to build infrastructure and shape CCA’s identity and future. Situated on 55 acres of former tomato fields on barren Pacific Highlands Ranch land, Canyon Crest Academy officially opened with real buildings one year later. The cost was over $100 million to construct the 225,000-squarefoot facility. Since that time, kids
have voted with their feet, to make CCA a school in demand. At a long-range planning group meeting in late 2008, Ken Noah said members discussed expansion of CCA. “The long-range task force considered a cap of 2,250 because it met a growing demand in the community for access to that school,” Noah said. That the school was originally master-planned to be larger than its current capacity of 1,800 was a compelling point, he added. Projected enrollment at CCA for this fall, according to district documents dated 1/17/13, is 1,868, up 17 from current enrollment. Torrey Pines enrollment for this fall is projected to be 2,645, up
26 students from current enrollment. Schmitt said although the projection for CCA is 1,868, typically about 40 or 50 don’t show up, so the district has learned to “overbook” like airlines do. To accommodate 400 more students, Canyon Crest will see the construction in 2019 of Building B classrooms, situated on the empty land between Buildings A and C. Including the $20 million for athletics fields, a total of $37.5 million will be spent, according to the district’s November bond ballot statement, on Canyon Crest renovations and new construction. Now in its ninth year of operation, Canyon Crest Academy is a high school that has quickly
made its mark and established a fine reputation county-wide. Whether its vision has fundamentally changed over time or evolved minimally in healthy ways is probably moot. With all varieties of sports, a bustling campus environment, planned classroom expansion, wide selections of traditional course offerings, extensive opportunities for students in art, music, drama, theater, science and technology, and the highest API score of any comprehensive high school in the county, CCA is thriving. It’s hard to argue with success. Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san. rr.com.

PITCHER continued from page 3 wedding ring and a sport coat,” Abbott said after the room applauded his quickness. His adaptation was better than those who had no challenges to overcome—he threw 90 miles per hour as a junior in high school. Although he didn’t like the attention, the “Onehanded pitcher” caught the attention of the nation and his story was featured in the New York Times, Parade Magazine and on a segment on ABC’s “The Wide World of Sports,” narrated by Howard Cosell. “All these journalists and writers came to Flint and described my play as courageous, motivational and inspiring,” Abbott said. “It was none of those things. I was just doing what I wanted to do and I had great people around me who believed in me.” He said while people believed in him, there were those that were skeptical or even mean-spirited. He recalls when a kid from a rival school crashed a pep rally before a football game with a sock on his arm to imitate Abbott. Or when a coach in little league yelled at all his
Vanessa Zobell and speaker Jim Abbott. Photo/Jon Clark players to just bunt it right back at him when he was on the mound. “They bunted for six batters in a row,” Abbott said, pausing to deliver the punch line like a split finger fastball: “Two innings.” Those were other people’s efforts to intimidate him or make him feel bad about himself but he never let them. “Determination is a mental toughness to filter out negativity and influences that push you away from where you want to go,” Abbott said. Abbott’s Major League
memories are priceless. He spoke of his rookie opening day at Anaheim, where he couldn’t stop smiling because he was in an Angels uniform, they were paying him to wear his Nikes, he had access to unlimited seeds and gum, and on his first day in the league he was involved in a benchclearing brawl where he came face to face with Carlton Fisk. “I loved my time in the big leagues, who wouldn’t?” Abbott said. He said his most memorable times didn’t come out on the beautiful, immaculately mowed baseball fields but often in the dark and dingy corridors outside the clubhouse. He said while he had hoped to shake the label of the “One-handed pitcher,” families started bringing their children to the game who had challenges he couldn’t even begin to describe. And they all wanted to meet him. He said he didn’t always want to go to those meetings because it reminded him of his own differences that he was trying to move beyond. But then he would see the look in those children’s eyes and see how bound and determined they were to do something spe-
JUST IN!!
cial. “I never walked back to the clubhouse uninspired,” Abbott said. Those meetings reminded him that he had to make the most of the opportunity he’d been given and not let the circumstances of his life become an excuse. Abbott said one of the greatest baseball experiences of his life was playing for the USA team at the Olympics. He will never forget the feeling of pitching a complete game and being on the mound for the last out, winning a gold medal. “We celebrated like stupid baseball players, I was at the bottom, my face in Korean mud with 25 of my best friends on top of me,” Abbott said. There were also lessons though, in the failures. After a painful season in which he lost 18 games he was sent to the minors and eventually released. His old manager Buck Rogers called him in the off-season and encouraged him to work on getting back to the big leagues. He worked his way through A-Ball, playing for the Hickory Crawdads in North Carolina, then to the Salem Warthogs, sweated through an Alabama July
with the Birmingham Barons and up to Canada with the Calgary Canons. He worked his way back onto the Chicago White Sox and his first night back in the majors had to face the New York Yankees. His lesson in perseverance resulted in a win and when Yankee Manager Joe Torre flipped a piece of gum at him at the end of the game and said “Welcome back,” it was one of the proudest moments of his career. The audience at Torrey Pines couldn’t help but get wrapped up in the excitement of the retelling of his perfect game at Yankee Stadium: Momentum growing in the stadium, fans booing every ball called, teammates superstitiously sitting far away from him on the dugout bench, being three innings away from a dream, then six outs away from a dream and then three. Abbott swears that last out, a hit to shortstop, took a half an hour. “You can’t believe it’s you,” Abbott said of the celebration that occurred after that perfect game. Referring to his current work as a motivational speaker, Abbott talked about
how one of his most difficult speaking engagements was career day when his daughter was in pre-school. He admits he had made the kids’ eyes glaze over speaking about humility and sportsmanship when his daughter asked a question that stopped him dead in his tracks. She asked him, “Do you like your little hand?” The family had never called it that and he never knew how she came up with that or how she perceived him. And he had never really thought about his answer to that question before that moment. “I said, ‘I do like my little hand. I haven’t always liked it, it hasn’t always been easy but it’s me. It’s pushed me and took me to places that I can’t believe. It’s taught me life is not easy and not always fair,’” Abbott said. “’And it’s taught me that if you believe there’s a way and you make the most of what you’ve been given— and you’ve been given a lot— nothing can stop you. Challenge will come. We know that. But it doesn’t have to hold you back.’” For event photos, see next issue of the Review (March 21).

U.S. Para-Equestrian Association Benefit Party held in RSF
T
he Rancho Valencia Dressage Affaire was held March 7-10 at the Del Mar Horse Park. In addition, a U.S. ParaEquestrian Association Benefit Party was held on March 7 at Rancho Valencia Resort. The party was dedicated in large part to spreading the legacy of Paralympian Jonathan Wentz, who passed away in his sleep last fall at age 22 from heart complications, only months after competing at the Paralympics in London, England. The Texan lived with cerebral palsy and was a huge supporter of the Rancho Valencia Dressage Affaire, in which he competed in 2010 and 2011. Proceeds from the U.S. Para-Equestrian Association event will go toward a scholarship to fund the endeavors of other disabled riders, especially those with aspirations of representing the U.S. in international competitions.

That’s Greek to me: The scoop on the yogurt culture craze The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Greek yogurt has exploded in popularly in part thanks to a nice PR boost by Greek hottie, John Stamos who’s gaga over Dannon Oikos. But there’s more to this creamy, dreamy delight (no, not Stamos) that has captured the nation’s palates, and pushed pedestrian yogurt to the supermarket sidelines. Here’s why the meteoric rise. The Good Greek News According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal the Greek yogurt craze has caused annual sales to swell from $60 million five years ago to over $1.6 billion, snagging one-
quarter of all yogurt sales in the U.S. ($6.8 billion). Not all yogurts are created equal. Although traditional and Greek start out the same as both milk products go through a process of fermentation with live bacterial cultures, Greek has an added step. The yogurt is strained through a filter, usually made of muslin to remove the liquidy whey, producing a thick, smooth as silk texture with a distinct tartness, like sour cream with benefits. This denser yogurt is packed with more protein than its conventional counterpart, (5 grams vs. 20 in a single serving), less sugar, along with fewer carbs and lactose making it gentler on the gut for digestion. Greek’s also a probiotic powerhouse with a mother lode of immune boosting live active cultures (L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus. . .) The Bad News On the down side, it takes four times the amount of milk to produce Greek strained yogurt, dialing up the price, along with dairy resources. In turn, the straining process zaps some of the calcium content from the yogurt, but it is still rife with the mineral. Also,
watch for imposters dubbed “Greek-style” yogurt, that typically use thickening agents to mock the dense, thick texture of the real stuff. The Greek Invasion Greek yogurt pundits speculate that the sales spurt is in part attributable to the consumer’s association of this product with the healthful Mediterranean diet that has been touted recently by such heavyweights as the venerable Mayo clinic, and Dr. Mehmet Oz. In fact, the assorted Greek yogurts that are flying off supermarket shelves are not incorporated in the traditional Mediterranean diet of olive oil, wild caught fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes. In addition, traditional strained Greek yogurt is made from easily digestible sheep’s milk, unlike the big Greek yogurt players of the U.S. (Chobani, Fage, Cabot, Dannon Oikos and Stonyfield Farms Oikos) that use cow’s milk. While the misconceptions might be spiking sales, yogurt aficionados are hooked regardless. Standing advice – where possible, buy organic, and plain, unsweetened without
Zesty Greek Yogurt Dip 1 garlic clove, minced 2 ounces of raw almonds or walnuts, chopped 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil 1 cup of Greek yogurt 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice 2 Persian cucumbers, diced Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste Blend ingredients and chill. Serve with warm pita bread or chips and raw veggies. No-Bake Greek Yogurt add-ins. Be A Culture Vulture Greek yogurt is just as divine in savory dishes as sweet ones. Swap out fatty and perishable mayonnaise, whipped and sour creams, custards and ice creams for Greek. Scoop a dollop on a steamy baked spud with chopped chives and turkey bacon crumbles; blend in a yam soufflé, mashed or scalloped potatoes or a redskin potato salad. Whip up spinach, crab or artichoke dips and tzatziki sauce. Grill wild
Almond Pie 1/2 pound softened cream cheese 1 cup of Greek yoghurt 1 teaspoon of almond extract 3 tablespoons of liquid honey 1 Graham cracker piecrust In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cream cheese and yoghurt until well blended. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour into Graham shell and refrigerate overnight. caught salmon with a sprinkling of fresh thyme and fennel seeds, and a slather of Greek yogurt. Drizzle tarragon yogurt sauce over grilled chicken or veggie kebobs. Do a riff on fettuccine alfredo, mac and cheese and creamed soups, tiramisu, key lime pie and English trifle. Blend in smoothies and milkshakes, cake, pancake and muffin batters for a scrumptious texture. Apple or berry cobbler à la mode. Frostings for carrot cake or cupcakes. Or concoct an easy breezy parfait blending
honey or agave syrup, and your choice of zest from a Meyer lemon, dried cherries, slivered almonds, coconut or chocolate shavings or your favorite liqueur--crème de menthe paying homage to St. Paddy’s Day. My contributions are a carefree pair of recipes—one sweet, the other savory to please both Greek yogurt palates.

‘White Nights and Russian Delights’ at the Timken
T
he Timken Museum of Art hosted “White Nights and Russian Delights” on March 1 in Balboa Park. The event, co-chaired by Timken Board Chair Tim Zinn and his wife, Ellen, featured a private viewing reception and dinner celebrating the museum’s Russian icon collection, newly installed by Executive Director John Wilson, Ph.D. The Host Committee included Valerie Cooper, Jeanne Jones, Demi Rogozienski and Sally Thornton. Lori Walton was introduced as a new member of the Timken Board of Directors, and Gary Meads was welcomed as a returning member. Guests had an opportunity to hear remarks from Derrick Cartwright, Ph.D., formerly of the San Diego Museum of Art and the Seattle Art Museum, and now at the University of San Diego. The theme, which celebrated Russian culture, was a rare opportunity to dine by candlelight on caviar, vodka tastings and Russian-inspired cuisine among the Old Master works of the Putnam Foundation’s permanent collection. The evening was topped off by Pomegranate Restaurant’s Russian Honey Cake and Strawberries Romanoff. Entertainment included Russian folk dancing by the San Diego Ballet and gypsy violin concertos.

The Melting Pot blends flavors for fanciful dining fun BY KELLEY CARLSON hether it’s dipping an appetizer into a cheese fondue or diving into a four-course meal, The Melting Pot offers a blend of dining experiences under one roof. It starts with selecting the perfect setting. The bar and heated front patio are the centers of socialization — customers can commemorate happy hour and catch the latest sporting event on TV. Also downstairs, there’s a festive party room and booths in the dimly-lit main dining area that easily allow for family-style dining, and a back patio that is occasionally the scene of special events. Couples on dates often indulge their cravings upstairs, with some requesting booths in the quiet and semi-private “Lover’s Lane.” Light, relaxing music in jazz and soft rock genres helps set the tone. “(The Melting Pot experience is) meant to be enjoyed,” said Frankie Becker, operating partner. “Take your time and enjoy each course as it comes.” While the establishment has a romantic ambience, it’s fun for families, as well. “Kids love it here,” Becker said. “They love dipping food in cheese and chocolate.” Children can choose up to three items to dip — whether it’s beef, shrimp, teriyaki, steak, filet, chicken or ravioli — and cook them in a pot on the table with their parents.

Want to solve a ‘crime’? Become a detective in ‘Accomplice: San Diego’ BY DIANA SAENGER The entertainment industry continues to reinvent itself with unique and surprising productions. San Diego patrons of the many wonderful theater companies in our town know this first hand. A few months ago, the La Playhouse announced its expanded Without Walls (WoW) series, and “Accomplice: San Diego” by Tom Salamon writer, director and co-creator (with Betsy Salamon-Sufott), is the fourth WoW. This one plays out in Little Italy, March 19-April 14. Those purchasing tickets will find themselves in a game-like experience that takes them on a mysterious journey through particular spots in Little Italy. It all begins with a phone call disclosing a secret meeting location, as they become partners with a series of shady characters (actors) to investigate a criminal plot. “All of our shows are independent of each other and create different experiences,” Salamon said. “They all have the same conceit in which the audience is dropped in the middle of a crime story and must go from place to place where there are different actors, paths, stories, clues and characters.” Salamon is getting raves for the productions he’s done in New York City, London and Hollywood. As he explains, “You may be led to a particular place and given a clue, like, ‘Find a guy with a red sweatshirt,’ but maybe there are three guys with a red sweatshirt, so you have to determine which guy to speak to and then a scene plays out in that place, and you’re onto the next place.” The production team remains involved during the entire show, constantly resetting props, as there can be four to six groups in route, and some groups may be faster than others. The goal is not to win or compete, but to enjoy the thrill of the game. “Everyone finishes at the end,” Salamon said. “It’s about going and being in

La Jolla Symphony will present concert of 20th-century music FROM LJS&C REPORTS The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) presents its fourth concert of the 58th season, “Angle of Repose,” which was inspired by Wallace Stegner’s 1971 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. The March 16-17 concert, titled “Repeat/Move On,” will provide a spectrum of music from the 20th century — from minimalism to rock-infused experimentalism. “Repeat/Move On is the conundrum,” conductor Steven Schick said. “It is one of the main questions a composer, or anyone, asks of himself: ‘How do I know when this piece has played out and when it’s time to go on to the next thing?’ In this concert, we will experience how this question produced remarkably different approaches to musical language in the 20th century.” The program features Philip Glass’ “Overture to La Belle et la Bête” (“Beauty and the Beast”); the regional premiere of Paul Dresher’s “Concerto for Quadrachord & Orchestra,” with Dresher as soloist; the 2012-13 Thomas Nee commission by Yiheng Yvonne Wu; and Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring.” One In 1994, Philip Glass created
Daniel Schmidt. The quadrachord plays in an entirely different tuning system than that of the orchestra, and during the first two movements, the Concerto will appear at times, to be alternately at odds and in conversation with the orchestra. In the third movement, the quadrachord, which can be plucked, bowed or hammered, becomes entirely a percussion instrument.
The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus a complete re-imagining of Jean Cocteau’s 1946 film, “La Belle et la Bête,” a theater-piece the composer called “an opera for ensemble and film.” The “Overture” is brief (just over 3 minutes), and its pulsing, shifting music fuses a certain innocence and freshness with a darker current of menace, a perfect prelude to the tale of magic, wonder and self-exploration. Two Bay Area-composer Dresher is noted for his ability to integrate diverse musical influences into his own style. A 2006-07 recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship in

Composition, he has been commissioned by the Kronos Quartet, San Francisco Symphony, and many others. “Concerto for Quadrachord & Orchestra” is in three movements, following the conventional concerto movement sequence of fastslow-fast. But beyond this largescale formal connection, the similarities to common practice are more difficult to define, starting with the featured solo instrument, the quadrachord. This very large, stringed instrument (four strings, each nearly 14-feet long) was invented and constructed by Dresher and long-time collaborator

Premiered in 1944 at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the score was awarded a Pulitzer Prize the following year.

Community Concerts of RSF announces performers for 2013-14 season BY GAIL KENDALL, PRESIDENT CCRSF As the season comes to a close on March 22 with Side Street Strutters, Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe (CCRSF) is excited to announce next year’s season of fantastic musicians and performers. Community Concerts will be entering its 14th year of offering an eclectic variety of musical performances for the residents of Rancho Santa Fe and nearby communities, only minutes away from home. Each summer, board members travel to Nashville, Tenn., to hear approximately 40 groups audition over a three-day period. The board then decides which four concert groups will please the audience the following season, a year and a half in advance – a daunting but exciting challenge! For its 2013-2014 season, CCRSF again offers an eclectic selection of performers, listed below. • Anthony Kearns was recognized in 2010 by the Irish Music Association as the “Best Irish Tenor” in the United States, United Kingdom and European Union. Kearns is also a notable opera performer, appearing in feature roles across Europe and North America. Accompanied on piano, the strength and tenderness of his voice captures the spirit of classical opera, popular song and the traditional music of his homeland. • Next is Jesse Lynch’s Jazz 101. Jesse Lynch has played piano for popular veterans Daniel Rodriguez and The American Tenors and has wowed his own audiences playing everything from Beethoven and Bop to free jazz and contemporary compositions. His trio leads audiences on a journey through the evolution and history of jazz using music and multi-media presentation in his touring program called “Jesse Lynch’s Jazz 101.” They will crank up the heat with explosive energy and electrifying technique playing the exciting sounds of Joplin, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong and other jazz greats. • Locust Street Taxi is a
group of musical geniuses from Washington State that offers outstanding musicianship, well-crafted memorable songs and an infectious exuberance. They have been compared to the likes of Barenaked Ladies, Sublime and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. • Yang and Olivia Liu are virtuosic talents who offer an unforgettable evening on the piano and violin. While in school in China, each won gold medals in national competitions. Mr. Liu earned honors in the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Mr. and Mrs. Liu have appeared together internationally and in the United States highlighted by performances at major festivals and venues such as the Kennedy Center, Brazil’s Oficina Music Festival, Portugal’s Algarve Music Festival. Their classical and traditional Chinese program demonstrates technical brilliance and virtuosity while communicating their message of faith, love and joy. The Lius will perform in the beautiful Village Church Sanctuary, following the pre-concert festivities in the Fellowship Hall. Season tickets for all four concerts are $200 for Early Bird purchase thru June 30; $225 after June 30 and $75 per single concert. Children accompanied by adults have free admission. As usual, the doors will open at 6:15 p.m. for all to enjoy wine, generously provided by Northern Trust, heavy hors d’oeuvres and social time with their friends. The new season will be available for purchase on March 22 at the Side Street Strutters’ performance. CCRSF appreciates checks but also accepts Visa and MasterCard.

New Del Mar decor shop unique in its fair trade-only values BY CLAIRE HARLIN There’s a new home decor shop in downtown Del Mar, and every item in it tells a story — from the handwoven baskets that still smell like the campfire their African artisans gathered around to the artistic metal wall hangings crafted in Haiti from recycled oil drums. But those stories would remain unknown if it weren’t for fair trade enthusiasts such as Betsy and Jude Paganelli of Carmel Valley, who opened the shop Fair Trade Decor on March 3 at 1412 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, 92014. “We had paper on the doors and we’re still stocking but people were wanting to come in so we went ahead and opened the doors” said Betsy, a former special needs elementary school teacher in Solana Beach. The Paganellis are still processing paperwork to become members of the Fair Trade Federation, but they have been seeking out vendors worldwide bearing the organization’s fair trade stamp of approval to sell in local farmers markets, from Hillcrest to Little Italy to Solana Beach, for about a year. They not only adhere to the standard that every item in their store is fair trade certified, but as members they will be able to travel abroad to interview artisans and assess working conditions, acting as agents of the certification process. They also hope to start their own fair trade products abroad that apply to fair trade principles such as eco-friendliness, fair and timely payment, and safe working conditions, to name a few. When shopping in Fair Trade, customers not only get to experience the cultural aesthetic of the goods, but they can watch videos and see photos of the products being made, as well as read each story in detail. The Paganellis have also included educational, country-specific information on the
tags of each item, detailing the geographic location, average life expectancy, population, unemployment rate and gross domestic product. Having been a teacher for years, Betsy said she has loved the educational aspect of the business, spreading the learning among her customers as well as increasing her own awareness. Add to that her passion for interior decorating, and the store was a perfect fit. Enter Jude, an engineer and founder of Cor Medical Ventures, whose his background starting businesses also complemented the retail endeavor — a first for both him and his wife. Having never worked in retail, the Paganellis weren’t sure at first what their theme would be, but after researching and delving into the concept of fair trade, they were hooked, not only to the colorful, worldly items but also to the causes associated with them. They set up at the farmers markets to see how the fair trade products would be received. In addition to being happy with the response, they learned which products were popular and which ones weren’t. “We kept adding new markets,” said Betsy. “It was really well received, by both tourists and locals.” Fair Trade features items from dozens of countries priced from $4 to $800, such as musical instruments, textiles, pillows and artwork, just to name a few. Popular items include vetiver placemats and blankets sewn from recycled Indian saris. For more information, visit www. fairtradedecor.com or call (858) 509-8543.

Mistral owner adds to 18 years of success with new Del Mar Highlands Town Center store •Fr om local to global, Mistral’s French bath and body products are in demand BY CLAIRE HARLIN Mistral has been selling luxury French bath and body products for more than 18 years on Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach and it just opened a retail shop at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center in November, but owner Matthew Tilker said many of his customers still remember the early days of the business, when he was in his early 20s and selling soap out of his mom’s living room in Del Mar. “People used to run by the house and say, ‘Wow, that smells good,’” said Tilker, whose business has since grown to supply wholesale to nearly 1,000 stores worldwide, in addition to its thriving global online presence. The brand’s popularity is no surprise to Tilker, who launched the business with a $1,500 loan from his grandparents after studying alternative cancer therapies on a fellowship in Southern France, a region that he found to have something the United States was lacking — good, natural soaps. Not only was Tilker intrigued by the quality of the soaps, but also the array of natural fragrances he had never before smelled, and after stumbling upon the factory of a master soap-maker in Provence and learning about the process, he knew it was something he had to bring home. “It was such craftsmanship and quality,” he said. “You could just feel the history and tradition of the soap there … South France is to natural fragrances and soaps as the Vatican is to Catholicism. That’s really the place that gave birth to what we think of as modern toiletries.” Just as he thought, Americans loved using soaps made from natural oils and containing fragrances that were extracted from raw materials such as fresh lavender. He spread the word around Del Mar with flyers, and demand was so high that he returned to France after six months to start designing his own soaps and having them made, using his
Mistral owners Kendra and Matthew Tilker Photo/Claire Harlin
background in alternative medicine to incorporate healing herb extract or oils. “I started making demands of the soap maker,” said Tilker. “I was asking him to add more olive oil and to start playing around with the fragrances. I also started working directly with the perfumers.” Getting to know the demands and the products better, Tilker starting noticing that people in the United States had slightly different tastes than those in France, so he started developing products that have since become hits at his company, such as verbena soap. Each pilgrimage to France was
for the development of new products, however, he also picked up other things along the way he found to be wonderful, such as the high-end French jams and teas that have for years been favorites at Mistral. And on one trip, while walking along the beach in Provence and taking in the scents of lavender and roses carried by the wind, Tilker picked up likely one of the most important features of the company yet — the name. “Mistral” is a word for “wind” in French, a particularly strong wind like the Santa Anas of the United States. Tilker explained that the word carries deep-rooted cultural value in addition to being emblematic of the outside scents you can always smell in France. “It’s almost like a person, a character,” he said. “It’s legendary and you can find it in stories of mythical connotations … A good mistral will rattle your whole home.” With Mistral’s warehouse located in Sorrento Valley and longtime retail presence on Cedros, Tilker said the Highlands was the perfect place to add an additional store, and he has since amassed many new local customers. But that hardly compares to the many customers who have been returning to Mistral for their favorite soaps or lotions year after year. Tilker said that, to his surprise, men emerged several years ago as one of the most receptive demographic groups, so he even launched a men’s toiletry line about eight years ago to accommodate that demand. “We’d have all kinds of men, even the manliest of men, come in for six bars of verbena soap,” said Kendra, Tilker’s wife and business partner. Matthew added, “It’s not like we sat around and thought, ‘Hey, how can we make more money with a men’s line? We would have never done it had there not been the demand. It was simply a matter of fact that men love soap.” For more information, visit www.mistralsoap.com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
New Solana Beach healthcare facility rooted in group treatment BY CLAIRE HARLIN Working as an internal medicine doctor for more than 16 years at Scripps Health, Mark Kalina was always dedicated to promoting “lifestyle medicine,” as he calls it. In that time he has seen that one of the most effective ways to reverse disease and manage chronic problems is through group treatments that let patients connect with each other. That’s the premise behind Kalina’s new Solana Beach medical facility, Pando Health Groups, located at 427 S. Cedros Ave. Set to open on March 18, with a grand opening social event on March 14, Pando incorporates both traditional and non-traditional heath care with a group-based approach, letting patients keep their primary physicians and gain the support, education and attention-filled medical visits that many don’t get at their quick, 15-minute check-ups. “They get more than just medical direction because I’m able to spend a lot of time with the patients all together,” said Kalina. “It’s worked wonders for weight loss, people with chronic pain; it’s kind of a movement now in the country, but after 16 years of practicing, it has really become my passion.” Kalina was first exposed to group medical care in 1996 at Scripps when he became the director of a program named and fashioned after the methods coined by Dean Ornish, who emphasized group therapy as part of his overall lifestyle-focused treatments. There, Kalina led groups, and that was among many other strategies. “What I found was that the people who were able to communicate in groups did the best in reversing their diseases,” Kalina said, adding that the groups were particularly helpful for seniors. Jump forward more than a decade, and Kalina had begun a private practice as well as a group health session in Del Mar as part of the city’s Community Connections program. As a vol-

Dr. Mark Kalina and Kim Chartrand, founders of Pando Health Groups, sit in the meeting space where they conduct group health therapy sessions. Photo: Claire Harlin unteer for that program, he directed the Del Mar Senior Health Forum every two weeks and also served on the nonprofit’s board of directors. “We would talk about medical things, but we’d also talk about life,” Kalina said. Meanwhile at Scripps, a former nurse colleague at the Ornish program, Kim Chartrand, decided to look Kalina up after several patients asked for him. “I used to refer those who were interested in integrative medicine to him,” she said. After stumbling upon and being inspired by the health philosophies he wrote about on his blog, www.returntohealth.com, Chartrand got in touch. “He was writing not only about groups but also how he envisioned the new paradigm of medicine,” said Chartrand, who said she personally identified tremendously with the values he outlined. A little less than a year ago, Kalina and Chartrand began embarking on meetings regarding how they could apply their visions to real life in the form of a medical facility. They specifically sought out a location in Solana Beach, and secured their lease in November on a wide open space that they designed to accommodate their goals. Healing in every sense of the word, the Pando center is bright, sunny and calming, adorned with lively, green plants that complement clean, white walls and a waterfall that soothes the auditory senses. Chartrand said she did a lot of research on healing spaces and brought that research to the interior designers at Simple Abode in Escondido. She told them she wanted the place to “feel so peaceful that you want to stay in it.” Named after the Pando Aspen tree, that lives in Southwest Utah and is the oldest living organism in the world, the center’s logo illustrates the interconnected roots that exist in Pando groves — a symbol of the integrative and connected care that Pando and its 10 practitioners offer. The doctors are currently holding preliminary sessions, as well as outreach events to educate local medical professionals about the supplemental group services available at Pando to their patients. “Physicians are already identifying patients they’d like to send us,” Chartrand said. For details on the March 14 event or to find out more about group sessions, visit PandoHealthGroups.com or call (858) 876-6360.
Doug Strole has always been driven to get more out of life. That’s why he’s a former marathon runner, it’s why he sold his first painting at 12 years old, and it’s why he and his wife, Lou, chose La Costa Glen over any other retirement community. But they never expected so many opportunities to give back – now Doug leads the art studio on campus, teaching classes and bringing together students of all ages, including his granddaughter, Makayla. And since they’ve erased any concerns about long-term care, they can focus on the art of living. What can you expect at La Costa Glen?

A selected group of high school students from Spain will come to this area in July 2013 to enjoy the best that San Diego has to offer. Live California will place the students with volunteer local families, like they have been doing for the past few years. Live California arranges all details, including English class and surf camp at 23rd Street for students and host family teenagers. “We keep the students busy, pick them up at home every day. We try to make it as easy as possible on the families, and the four weeks go by in a snap, “ says Director Alejandro Campillo. The students come in a small group and at their young age they are experienced in living abroad with a Host Family. Most of the participants have spent time in the United Kingdom and Ireland in previous summers. “It is normal for European kids to start travelling abroad to attend language programs in their early teens. This is an Old World custom that we wish to inspire here since Del Mar families are already frequent travellers,” said Lisa Campillo, the Head of Studies. “For our kids, hosting a student has
been a great introduction to studying and traveling abroad. This has exposed them to another culture right here at home. We hope this will inspire our kids to travel,” said Mr. Mitchell of Solana Beach, whose family hosted Antonio from La Coruña, Spain last July. They have stayed in touch, and hope to visit him in Spain. Many host family kids, including the Mitchell’s, have participated in the summer camp with the visiting students over the years. “Our host siblings are an invaluable part of Live California; they learn first hand what studying abroad is like at an early age. They lead the way,” Campillo said. They practice their Spanish while enjoying their favorite summer activities. “We created a lifelong friend last summer through Live California and we plan to keep in touch with Antonio. Everyone in our family enjoyed the experience.,” texted Mitchell to Campillo. Live California is currently recruiting host families for July 2013 in Del Mar, Solana Beach Rancho Santa Fe and Carmel Valley. Contact: (619) 894-3957; lisa@livecalifornia.net; livecalifornia.net.

RSF Senior Scene: Causes of Pain and Pain Management; Balance Screening BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Causes of Pain & Pain Management According to the National Institutes of Health, pain is a growing problem among older Americans. Research has shown that 50 percent of older adults living independently and 75-85 percent of seniors in care facilities suffer from pain. Coping with pain is a serious health issue that can result in depression, anxiety, decreased mobility, social isolation, poor sleep and related health risks. Treating pain in older adults requires special care due to the prevalence of nutritional or medical problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis. Understanding the causes of pain, the unique needs of seniors, and the role of pain self-management, can help reduce or eliminate this condition. Join us at the Senior Center on Friday, March 15, at 2 p.m., to learn about “pain,” what it means, and how it manifests as we age. Jim Prussack, licensed physical therapist, will discuss some of the common sources of pain in older adults often experienced in the knees, hips, shoulders, low back, neck, etc. Jim will also talk about ways to manage and relieve pain, and how to avoid future episodes of pain. There will be time for questions and answers during and after the presentation. Individual Balance Screening Preventing falls is one of the most challenging issues we face as we age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control:
•More than onethird of adults age 65 years and older fall each year. •Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths and the most common cause Terrie Litwin of injuries and hospital admissions for trauma. •Older adults are hospitalized for fall-related injuries five times more often than they are for injuries from other causes. •Of those who fall, 20 to 30 percent suffer moderate to severe injuries that reduce mobility and independence, and increase the risk of premature death. On Friday, March 29, from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m., the Senior Center if offering free individual balance screenings by licensed physical therapist Jim Prussack. Following your personal balance screening test, you will be given specific recommendations to improve your balance and reduce your risk of falling.

Practice areas at The Bridges named one of the nation’s ‘Top 50 Private Ranges’ Long ago, the iconic Ben Hogan set the standard every g o l f e r would aspire to when it would come to practicThe Bridges Driving Range. ing their golf game. As he famously stated, to improve your game you had to “dig it out of the dirt.” Little did he know a half century later that “dirt” would take on the verdant hue of a world class practice facility draped over the gentle hills of The Bridges Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Recently recognized as one of the “Top 50 Ranges” for a private facility in the United States by the Golf Range Association of America, The Bridges delivers one of the most versatile practice sites ever constructed for a private club. “When you have a world-class golf course, you need a world-class practice facility,” says Ken Ayers, development manager of The Bridges in Rancho Santa Fe. Featuring six distinct practice areas, The Bridges offers a challenge for every club in the bag for all levels of golfer. From a casual warm-up to an intense, Hoganesque “dig it out of the dirt” workout, the ranges at The Bridges measure up to top tour professional expectations when preparing their games for golf’s major championships. “We wanted to create an environment that was transferable to the golf course to replicate the complete course experience,” Director of Golf Steve Wilson said. Wilson and his fellow teaching professionals feel the range at The Bridges is truly an ideal facility where they can put students, beginners to low handicappers, in situations where they learn to “get comfortable.” The experience then transfers to The Bridges and its challenging 18-hole championship course, home of such world-class matches as “Battle At The Bridges” and this year, the American Junior Golf Association’s (AGJA) 2013 Wyndham Cup.

Raskind says it’s the satisfaction of providing her clients with an exceptional result, however, that serves as the most powerful motivator in her career. “My role as an agent is a tremendous responsibility,” says Raskind, a luxury specialist based in Rancho Santa Fe. “The last thing people want to worry about is their home purchase or sale, so I manage all of the details and research every aspect of my clients’ transactions, from start to finish.” As a result of her focus on providing attentive and thorough client service, Raskind was voted one of San Diego Magazine’s “Five Star Real Estate Agents” for 2012. The award is a result of a survey in which the respondents were asked to rate their real estate agent on a number of factors, including customer service, communication, marketing, integrity, negotiation, and overall satisfaction. “Robyn is a perennial market leader with a complex understanding of real estate,” said David M. Cabot, CEO of Prudential. “She is known for the tenacity she demonstrates on her clients’ behalf, so it was no surprise for me to learn that she has earned San Diego Magazine’s Five Star award for two of the past five years.” With a majority of her business originating from referrals and repeat transactions, Raskind is known for her professional approach to real estate and commitment to ethical business practices. A Fine Homes Specialist, she has a particular expertise in the marketing and sale of luxury estates in La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Santa Luz and Carmel Valley, as well as the coastal communities in San Diego’s North County.
