Junior executive category to expand at golf club BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved removing the 30-member cap on the RSF Golf Club’s junior executive category at its Jan. 5 meeting. The category, meant to attract younger members to the club, allows new members under 48 to spread out their $50,000 enrollment fee in installments. For example, if a new member joins at age 40, they would have eight years to pay the fee. There is a maximum of 10 years to pay the enrollment. The members still pay annual dues and are assessed the same dues as regular memberships. RSF Golf Club Board President Bill Danola said the category is at 30 members right now. They had budgeted for four new members for the year and already have five. The junior executive category was first approved in 2013 and was originally capped at 10 members. As the category grew in popularity, additional spaces were added. “The board of governors really doesn’t see a reason to have a limit. It’s a category and a membership that we’d like to see increase actually, to have more younger members in the club,” Danola said. “It just makes the club more accessible and appealing to them, and we’d like to encourage that.” RSF Association Director Kim Eggleston expressed SEE GOLF, A17

Public invited to weigh in on senior facility’s environmental review BY KAREN BILLING A scoping meeting for Hacienda Del Mar, the proposed senior facility on Via de la Valle, will be held on Thursday, Jan. 19 at 6 p.m. at Torrey Pines High School’s lecture hall. At the meeting, members of the public are invited to provide input on what the environmental impact report (EIR) for the project should study. The proposed project is located next to the polo fields on some of the last acres of open space in the San Dieguito River Valley. As the project has moved through the planning
phases, neighbors have expressed concerns about density, community character and water as the lot sits in a floodplain. Developer Milan Capital’s plan is for Hacienda Del Mar to have less than 10-percent lot coverage, with the remainder of the 23.87-acre site used for dedicated open space. The plan includes four one-story buildings of independent and assisted living and memory care units clustered below the hillside at the eastern portion of the property.

Fair board commits $250,000 to General Manager Al Castro planning for proposed concert venue leaves Rancho Santa Fe Golf BY JOE TASH The agency that runs the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds took the first step toward turning an underperforming satellite wagering center into a 1,900-seat concert venue, agreeing to spend $250,000 on preliminary planning for the conversion. The board of directors of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees fairgrounds operations, voted unanimously to make the expenditure at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 3. The vote followed a report presented
at the board’s December meeting, by a team of California State University San Marcos business students, that the project which will cost an estimated $11 million in up-front construction costs - makes financial sense. “The numbers they (the Cal State San Marcos team) presented show this does make sense for the 22nd DAA to re-purpose the SSRP to a 1,900-seat venue for music and entertainment,” said board member Stephen Shewmaker, who heads up a committee seeking new uses for the Surfside Race Place,
as the satellite wagering center is called. The center is designed to allow patrons to bet on horse races beamed in by satellite from around the United States and even from other countries. The 22nd DAA has been struggling for years to find a new use for the satellite wagering center, a 91,000-square-foot building that was completed in 1991 at a cost of $12 million in state funds. In recent years, both attendance and revenue have plummeted; in 2010, some 108,000 SEE VENUE, A18
New San Diego County Fair website debuted BY JOE TASH A new website meant to convey the fun and excitement of attending the San Diego County Fair was officially unveiled Jan. 3 at a meeting of the board that oversees the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The state-owned fairgrounds is run by an agency, the 22nd District Agricultural Association, whose board members are appointed by the California governor. Adam Richardson, of the fairgrounds
marketing department, said the new website is “high on experience, low on great walls of text.” The revamped site, at www.sdfair.com, is dominated by large photos of scenes from past fairs, and simplified to such clickable topics as participating in exhibits or performances, planning a visit, and what to see - which Richardson described as “the meat of the SEE WEBSITE, A18
Club to accept new position BY KAREN BILLING Al Castro has left the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, serving his last day as general manager on Friday, Jan. 6. Castro resigned to accept a similar position at Tradition Golf Club in La Quinta. “We wish Al and his wife Cary the best, and appreciate Al’s leadership at RSFGC for almost five years,” wrote RSF Golf Club President Bill Danola in a December letter to the membership. Castro came to Rancho Santa Fe in April 2012 after nearly-14 years at The Vintage Club in Indian Wells. A certified club manager and sommelier, Castro’s career spans over 33 years in the hospitality industry, working in restaurants, luxury hotels and private country clubs. “I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of our golf club members. Your support and pride in this iconic club was clearly evident from the first day I set foot on the property,” Castro said in a RSF Golf Club newsletter to members. “This membership is the reason Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club has the reputation as one of the premiere clubs in the area.” Danola said the golf club’s board of governors is in the process of forming a search committee and engaging a search firm to identify Castro’s replacement. Additionally, the board has put an interim management team in

In his parting words, Castro said the members can rest assured that the board and search committee will work diligently to find his successor. “The management team in place at the club will continue their hard work and commitment to delivering an outstanding experience to every member and guest every time,” Castro said.

Complaint alleging child pornography possession, distribution filed against Carmel Valley ranch owner BY JOE TASH A federal complaint alleging distribution and possession of child pornography has been filed against Christian Clews, owner of the Clews Horse Ranch in Carmel Valley, and a long-time member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board. According to a complaint filed Dec. 12 in the U.S. District Court for Southern California which was unsealed by a federal judge on Dec. 21 - a special agent with Homeland Securities Investigations was alerted in November 2014 that two images depicting suspected child pornography had been uploaded via a cellular phone which was later linked to Clews. Subsequently, on Oct. 28, following an investigation, investigators served a search warrant at Clews Horse Ranch, 11500 Clews Ranch Road in Carmel Valley. “On this date, post-Miranda, Christian Clews admitted to possessing and distributing child pornography,” said the complaint. On Oct. 28, said the complaint, investigators seized various electronic devices from Christian Clews and his residence. “Subsequent examination and review revealed numerous child pornography image and video files on multiple electronic devices seized from Christian Clews,” said the complaint. Among the material discovered by investigators, said the complaint, were more than 100 child pornography videos found on a Dell desktop computer. The complaint also states that the initial two suspected child pornography images that had been uploaded by a cellular phone were traced to a cell phone number that is also listed on the
Clews Horse Ranch website as “Christian’s cell.” Federal court records indicate that Clews was arrested on Dec. 20, and was then released to “house incarceration,” and ordered to be monitored by GPS tracking, on Dec. 23. He was also required to put up a personal appearance bond of $150,000. An arraignment has been scheduled for Jan. 19. Conditions of his release, pending trial, include an order not to “access any social networking site including, but not limited to, MySpace, Facebook, Friendster... Instagram, Twitter, etc.” He was also ordered to have no contact with children under 18 unless supervised by another adult. Clews’ attorney, Hamilton Arendsen of San Diego, could not be reached for comment. Officials with the San Diego Police Department and the local Homeland Security office did not respond to a reporter’s inquiries as of press-time. Court records show that Clews waived a preliminary hearing on the charges originally set for Jan. 3, but the documents do not indicate if a new date for the hearing has been set. Clews stepped down from the community planning board in November, giving no reason for his decision. The Clews Horse Ranch has been boarding horses since 1992, according to its website. Equestrian training and riding lessons are also offered at the ranch, which occupies 40 acres. Any member of the public who has information about potential victims in this case can contact the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force at 858-715-7100.

The Sharon Russakoff Story
Documentary on aging well features busy senior BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN In her early 20s, local resident Sharon Russakoff suffered an accident that left her with a chronic disability and made daily routines increasingly harder as time passed. Now, at age 71, she will be portrayed as an example of how to age successfully in the KPBS-TV documentary “Re’flect.” Russakoff’s episode “Showing Up at Every Stage,” the first of six in the “Re’flect” series, will initially air at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 12 on KPBS-TV. A related community dialogue will be held 1-3 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16 at the Jewish Community Center (JCC), 4126 Executive Drive, where the episode will be screened following a panel discussion with health-care and aging experts, including Russakoff. A patron of the arts and a philanthropist, the list of activities Russakoff is involved with is impressive. “I see myself as someone who refuses to be a victim. My family doesn’t do self-pity. There’s so much that I can still do and it’s wonderful. You can spend your life hiding or you can be out there and have a life,” she said. As an usher for the San Diego Symphony and the San Diego Opera, a singer in the Pacific Coast Chorale and a volunteer seamstress at Cygnet Theater, Russakoff fills her days supporting artistic and charitable causes. And she does all of it without driving. “I stopped driving 15 years ago because my depth perception is not reliable,” she explained, adding that was one of the consequences of her accident. Her decision not to drive was what prompted the family’s move from their previous residence in San Carlos to University City, one of the county’s public transportation hotspots that allows Russakoff to be independent. “When you have no choice, you get very organized,” she laughed. When she can’t take a bus, she gets a ride from her husband

Sharon Russakoff will be featured in the first episode of the KPBS-TV documentary ‘Re’flect,’ airing Jan. 12. or one of her sons, Mark, 42 and Jonathan, 34. She’s also a member of the La Jolla JCC, where she works out at the gym, attends music lessons and swims. “Six months ago or so, the producers of ‘Re’flect’ contacted the head of the JCC and asked for a list of active seniors to be interviewed. My husband and I were in that group, and they chose me!” “Re’flect” episodes will air in January and April. The documentary provides insight on the lives of seniors who conduct fulfilling lives. And of that, Russakoff is an example. The show’s co-producer and writer, Theresa Hoiles, said in a statement: “As we learned more about her, we realized she is unstoppable. The woman never seems to slow down. She is always doing something. And she really becomes the go-to person for everyone she works with. She

really runs the show. “We also feel her story will resonate with people who say they want to, but find reasons why they don’t get involved with things.” When asked how she finds the variety of activities she’s involved in, Russakoff replied, “I get the ideas through networking. We started in ushering because a friend became an usher captain and needed someone to be on the team. And from there, basically, it was networking.” Music has been a part of her life since her early years. At age 4, Russakoff was already singing with a choir back in Philadelphia, from where she hails. “My eldest sister was in a choir, which to audition for, you had to be 7, and my mother decided she had one kid out of the house, and she wanted the other one out, too… so she got me an audition, and I sang with them many years all through high school.” Her accident happened during an ice storm, when the public transportation vehicle she was riding in collided with an ice block, and it threw her around. “It took a year for anybody to take me seriously and take spinal X-rays. These revealed I had dislocated six vertebrae, and by then, it was too late to do anything. It changed the way I do things. There are things I can’t do, but others I can, and I choose to focus on those,” she explained. Russakoff said she moved to San Diego County in 1980, when doctors told her the harsh cold East Coast climate was contributing to the deterioration of her health so much that if she didn’t relocate, she would be in a wheelchair by age 40. ■ When to Watch: Russakoff’s episode on ‘Re’flect,’ airs 8:30-9 p.m. Jan. 16, Feb. 23 and Feb. 27 on KPBS-TV.

Red Cross issues an emergency call for blood and platelet donations during severe winter blood shortage The American Red Cross has a severe winter blood shortage and is issuing an emergency call for blood and platelet donors to make a donation appointment now and help save patient lives. Hectic holiday schedules for many regular blood donors contributed to about 37,000 fewer donations in November and December than what was needed. Snowstorms and severe weather have also impacted donations. Nearly 100 blood drives were forced to cancel in December, resulting in more than 3,100 blood donations going uncollected. “Blood and platelet donations are critically needed in the coming days so that patients can continue to receive the lifesaving treatments
they are counting on,” said Jay Winkenbach, Donor Recruitment director of the local Red Cross Blood Services Region. “We encourage donors to invite a family member or friend to donate with them to help meet patient needs. Right now, blood and platelet donations are being distributed to hospitals faster than they are coming in.” Find a blood donation opportunity and schedule an appointment to donate by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). The Red Cross is extending hours at many donation sites for more donors to give blood or platelets.

Torrey Pines musicians named San Diego Youth Symphony soloists
E
ach year, talented students from the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory's most advanced level Ovation compete in solo concerto competitions. In addition to cash scholarship awards, the winners gain the opportunity to perform as featured soloists in future San Diego Youth Symphony concerts. In June of 2017, the co-winners of the Ovation Concerto Competition will perform full concertos, instead of single movements, for the first time, backed by their orchestras. Two talented and dedicated students from Torrey Pines High School, violinist Erica Hwang and flutist Christine Kim, were recognized for the top award during the Ovation Concerto Competition held in October 2016. They will both be featured soloists during the Ovation Spring concert, to be held Sunday, June 11 at the Jacobs Music Center's Copley Symphony Hall. "Performing full concertos is demanding and is usually only a requirement of college students. They require a high level of musicianship, endurance, artistry, professional-level performance ability, and extreme poise and confidence,” said Dr. Sidney Yin, associate director of conservatory

Premiering at The Globe
The play’s the thing for winning young writers BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT even aspiring playwrights will have their work shown as part of the 32nd annual Playwrights Project Festival of Plays by Young Writers, Jan. 19-29, at The Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park. Ranging in age from 12 to 18, they are the winners of the 2016 California Young Playwrights Contest, chosen from 385 entrants in a blind judging by local theater professionals. Of the six prize-winning plays (one is a collaboration), there will be four full-scale productions and two staged readings at the Globe, which has been hosting the festival for the past 18 years. Founded in 1985, Playwrights Project (PP) offers playwriting workshops in schools, produces community readings, and reaches out to about 10,000 people every year, nurturing writers and developing theater artists and audiences. Their annual festival is a chance to see plays by promising young people whose names may be up in lights someday. The Festival’s producer is Cecelia Kouma, PP’s executive director, who first came on board in 2000 as managing director in charge of school programs and took over from founding director Deborah Salzer a decade ago. What’s her favorite thing about the festival? “Watching the young writers’ reactions when they realize that the experts are taking their work seriously,” she said. “They’re treated as professionals here, even if they’re 12 years old.” Dramaturgs help the young writers get their

GERI GOODALE
The prize-winning playwrights, whose work can be seen at The Old Globe Theatre, Jan. 19-29, include Matthew Maceda, 17 (‘The Dumping Ground’), Cassandra Hsiao, 16 (‘Supermarket of Lost’), Katie Taylor, 18 (‘Pros and Cons’), Eliana Dunn, 16 (‘Hackathon’), Minh-Son Tran, 13, and Samantha Rafter, 14 (‘A Play on Words’) and Absinthe McDonald, 12 (‘Turtle on a Rock’). scripts ready for prime time, which includes fleshing out characters and trimming longer works down to no more than 30 minutes. This year’s main man behind the scenes is artistic director Ruff Yeager, an award-winning actor/director and theater professor at Southwestern College, who will be whipping the festival’s plays into final shape. Fun Fact: This is the fifth win for 17-year-old Matthew Maceda, who co-wrote his first winner with a fellow student at Mesa Verde Middle School in 2011, in a class taught by Playwrights Project founder Deborah Salzer. He never stops
writing, but recently decided, after studying the TV show “Grey’s Anatomy” for scriptwriting techniques, that he wants to pursue a career in medicine. His current winner, “The Dumping Ground,” can be seen at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 21 and Jan. 27 or 2 p.m. Jan. 28. ■ IF YOU GO: Playwrights Project Festival of Plays by Young Writers runs Jan. 19-29 at The Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park, San Diego.

RSF School’s donated blankets warm hearts in Mexico “El Fuego! El Feugo! El Fuego!” Little 8-year-old Miguel screams in delight as he points to the flames on the fleece blanket as it is handed to him. He tucks the blanket under one arm and runs into his cinder block cottage, through the common room decorated with a small Christmas tree and into a bedroom which he shares with three other boys. He proudly spreads his new blanket on his bed, as if to claim it permanently. His bright eyes flash as he sits on his bed and snuggles with his new blanket, giggling. This year for a service project, the Student Council at R. Roger Rowe school made fleece blankets to donate to the Rancho de los Ninos Orphanage in the Guadalupe Valley in Baja, Mexico. A few of the students brought the blankets down personally to the orphanage over winter break and handed them out to the children. “We all spent many of our lunch hours cutting and tying the quilts,” explains Darby Burnett who is the Philanthropy Representative for the Student Council at R. Roger Rowe. “It was so fun to watch how happy the kids were when they
received the blankets and I wish all my friends could see their faces.” Darby had worked at the orphanage with her family the past two years and suggested that the school work on a project for the orphanage. Christine Teofilo, the Student Council faculty representative, helped coordinate the blanket project. “We had such a tremendous turnout for this lunchtime project and the kids had a great time together.” The combined efforts of the students resulted in 27 brightly colored blankets with joyful patterns. “We learned about another boy’s home only 3 miles away and the director told us that they never get anything because they are teenagers,” explains Ava Burnett, who also worked on the project. “So we separated 10 blankets for the teenage boys and we invited them to lunch and gave them the blankets and they were so happy, but really shy.” The trip was coordinated through the Corazon de Vida Foundation, which supports 10 orphanages in Baja, Mexico.

GUEST COMMENTARY
What the Covenant Design Review Committee does for property owners
I
n 2016, 580 applications were submitted for Covenant Design Review Committee (CDRC) consideration, the fifth highest number in the last 16 years. Submissions covered a wide range of projects, from property owners’ plans for new construction or remodeling, to Village revitalization projects, to solar panel installations. Eighty-eight years ago, visionary founders of the Protective Covenant delineated the responsibilities of the Art Jury (recently renamed the Covenant Design Review Committee) in Paragraph 46. That paragraph charges the CDRC with approval of all changes and alterations to property that include buildings, structures and alterations in the physical contours of the land “so as to insure a uniform and reasonably high standard of artistic result and attractiveness, in exterior and physical appearance.” Each application represents a potential change in the aesthetic, physical appearance of the Covenant. Five members of the CDRC, your neighbors and friends in the community,
usually meet twice a month, for two days, to review applications and decide what changes are aesthetically appropriate. Deliberations are mindful that decisions require a balancing between owners’ dreams for their home, neighbors’ desires for visual and auditory privacy, and the community’s requirement for a rural landscape and protection of the natural landforms. This balancing of requests and responsibilities is a serious undertaking, not taken lightly by the Committee. Of special consideration is that only property owners, not neighbors, have the right of appeal to CDRC mediation or for action by the RSF Association Board of Directors. At the board level, it takes six out of seven votes to overturn a CDRC decision. The CDRC deliberations have produced some very positive results, as shown in a statistical graph, compiled since the year 2000. There has been a continuing decline in CDRC mediations, from a high of 30, now down to just two in 2016. The last appeal to the board was in 2003. Of most importance is the varied physical
composition of the land in the Covenant. No two properties are exactly the same. To maintain the “rare quality of its landscape, trees and shrubs and the fine architecture and other improvements” as mandated by the Protective Covenant, each application should be considered individually as it relates to the entire community. An impersonal checklist, employed by many cities and towns, does not allow for the necessary individualized attention to applications. In addition, review of applications by a committee of your friends and neighbors, rather than any outside organization, will insure better community control of future changes. CDRC meetings are open to Covenant residents. The Committee invites you to attend and view the process that has served the homeowners in the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant so well. – Submitted by Sharon McDonald, president, Covenant Design Review Committee
Letters Policy Topical letters to the editor are encouraged. Submissions should include a full name, address, e-mail address (if available) and a telephone number for verification purposes. We do not publish anonymous letters and there are length limits (about 450 words maximum). E-mailed submissions are preferred to editor@rsfreview.com. Letters may be edited. The letters/columns published are the author’s opinion only and do not reflect the opinion of this newspaper.
Here’s to a happy and safe New Year!
H
ard as it may be to believe, 2017 is here! We at Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) hope you had a wonderful holiday season and would like to kick of the new year with some tips and suggestions of things you can do to help make 2017 the safest year yet. Now that Christmas is over, the decorations are coming down and getting put away. Live Christmas trees should be removed as soon as possible if they haven’t been already. Dried-out trees are highly flammable and should not be left in a house, garage, or leaning against the outside of the house. Do not dump your tree at an undesignated location as it is a fire hazard. Also, do not attempt to dispose of your tree by burning it in the fire place. Christmas tree branches put off a large amount of heat and could cause a fire. Christmas trees also cause oily soot which may damage your fireplace. San Diego County offers several options for recycling your tree, depending on where you live. For more information, go to www.sandiego.gov/environmental-services/ recycling/events/christmas. The single best way to protect your family from a residential structure fire is to install smoke alarms throughout your home. When properly maintained, smoke alarms sense smoke when a fire is still small, alerting occupants of eminent danger and allowing time to escape. They should be installed inside every bedroom, within every hallway, and at the top of all staircases in the home. On floors without bedrooms, place the alarm in family rooms and living rooms. Avoid
installing smoke alarms near the kitchen or bathrooms, as cooking vapors and steam often cause false alarms. Smoke rises; therefore, it’s best to install alarms at the highest point on the ceiling, at least four inches away from the nearest wall. Install alarms away from windows, doors, or fireplaces as these areas may inhibit smoke from activating the unit. If you need assistance installing smoke alarms in your home, you may contact the American Red Cross of San Diego (858-309-1200) or the Burn Institute (858-541-2277) for more information regarding their community smoke alarm installation programs. Once the smoke alarms have been installed, be sure to test every smoke alarm in your house once a month by pressing the button on the alarm. If the smoke alarm has batteries be sure to place them once a year. Newer smoke alarms have an enclosed lithium battery that will last for 10 years. At that time replace the entire smoke alarm. Finally, there are a couple of new laws in California designed to keep you and your loved ones safer on the roads. First, children must now be restrained in a rear-facing infant or convertible car seat until they are at least two years of age unless the child is over 40 pounds or over 40 inches tall. Ideally, children should remain rear-facing until they reach the maximum height or weight allowed by the car seat. Likewise, once a child is forward-facing, they should stay in a five-point harness until they reach the maximum height or weight allowed by the seat. Older children must ride in a car seat or booster seat in the back seat of the vehicle until they are at least 8 years old. It is
recommended that all children 12 years of age and under ride in the back seat of the vehicle. The RSFFPD does have a certified child safety seat technician on staff. To schedule a child safety seat check, please call 858-756-5971. The second law that has gone into effect broadens the restrictions on cellphone use while driving. Drivers are not allowed to hold a cellphone in their hand for any reason. Cellphones may only be used if they are mounted to the car and even then only a single touch or swipe is allowed. For more information on these and other safety tips, please visit our website at www.rsf-fire.org. Happy new year! The mission of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District is “To serve the public through the protection of life, environment and property from fire and other emergencies through prevention, preparedness, education, and response.” Formed in 1946, the Fire District now spans approximately 50-square miles and protects over 32,000 citizens. The Fire District currently operates out of six fire stations and serves the communities within and surrounding Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, 4S-Ranch, Elfin Forest, and Harmony Grove. – RSF Fire Protection District

Fundraiser held to honor memory of Nicolas Leslie
T
he Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund (TPHSSF) held a fundraiser Jan. 7 at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar to honor the memory of Nicolas Leslie, TPHS Class of 2014. Leslie, a 20-year-old Del Mar native, was murdered in the ISIS-sponsored terrorist attack in Nice, France on July 14, 2016. The much-beloved only child of Del Mar residents Paola and Conrad Leslie, Nick was in France participating in a summer study abroad program through UC Berkeley where he was set to begin his junior year in the Haas School of Business. The TPHSSF recently created the Nicolas Leslie Memorial Scholarship to further Nick’s legacy at TPHS and beyond. While at Torrey, Nick excelled in his academic studies, played on the lacrosse team and pursued his passion for water sports. He founded the startup company N2 Kitesurfing to earn money for college by teaching kitesurfing. He also served as Congressional Debate co-captain for the TPHS Speech and Debate Team where he enjoyed mentoring younger students who respected him and often sought his guidance. Nick’s life reflects all that is best about the greater TPHS community – a love of the outdoors, enlightened global engagement and compassionate entrepreneurism.

Finkelson said during the process of soliciting comments on the amended articles and bylaws last year, a lot of members were concerned that without the registration process the Association wouldn’t have any verification. Finkelson said while any member is entitled to vote without registration, the election inspector won’t count someone’s vote unless they filled out a verification form. The rules are really for people who haven’t ever registered to vote, new owners or those who request a change of status — it will not impact those whose signatures are already on file. “This is really trying to be responsive to the comments we got from the membership during the long period of review of the articles and bylaws, to have at least some minimal verification form,” Finkelson said. This is the first year the Association will be doing this, Wasserman said. The Association plans to first address those who never registered to vote under the old system, an estimated 300 people. Those people will receive a verification form and a call from the Association to get them into the database as entitled to vote. Every escrow company will have the verification form and it will be part of the escrow process, Wasserman said.
In an example of one such conundrum, Tesla Motors is currently programming self-driving cars for instances when death is inevitable. Should they program the cars to swerve and avoid killing more pedestrians, but kill one whose life was previously not endangered? Should it favor the lives of pedestrians over passengers? Should it favor the lives of younger people over those who are older? And should owners be given the ability to determine these settings? In another example relating to the recently popularized Pokémon Go mobile app: Should the game’s creators be held liable in the hundreds of cases of trespassing and damages that were incurred because of Pokémon characters negligently programmed to be found on private properties? “In The Dilemma we encounter
FROM FACILITY, A1 western side of the property, closest to El Camino Real, will be restored as natural habitat. As the project is located on Prop A agriculturally-zoned land, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board and the city of San Diego will have to make a policy decision on whether the project is urban or non-urban in scale and character. Prop A, which passed in 1985, states that any development and agriculturally-zoned land is to be very low-density housing, open space of agricultural use. Any more intense development must go to a city-wide vote. Milan Capital has stated that its intent is for the project to be a non-urban, rural clustered development designed and sited in the most environmentally-sensitive manner. Once a draft EIR is prepared, it will be released for comments later this year.

fascinating, real-life conundrums; situations in which your gut instinctively responds one way, but your brain tells you quite the opposite,” explained Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s Brooklyn, New York headquarters. “To solve these dilemmas, participants are asked to break into study groups and explore hair-splitting Talmudic arguments that participants then debate and apply to solve the cases using new, interactive polling technology.” “The Dilemma is a mental expedition in which participants mind-wrestle with situations that force them to choose between two reasonable truths,” said Rabbi Levi Raskin of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF “Participants analyze, discuss, and debate original Talmudic texts to solve dilemmas and get an authentic taste of dynamic Talmud study.” “I find people in RSF love having the opportunity to engage
in social discourse, particularly when it involves fascinating intellectual challenges and hot topics such as Pokémon Go and Tesla’s self-driving cars,” Raskin said. “This is by far the most captivating course we’ve ever offered and I encourage everyone to attend.” The Dilemma is accredited for continuing legal education credits for attorneys and others in the legal professions. Like all JLI programs, this course is designed to appeal to people at all levels of knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship.

said he knew of three golfers in the junior executive category that are over 48 years old and wondered if the board might consider averaging ages of the members in those cases (for example, if someone is 70 and the person’s spouse is 40 they could average their ages to determine if they qualify for membership). Danola said the board does not
believe it to be a “rampant” issue. As it is a change to the club’s plan of operations, there will be a 60-day notice to the RSF Golf Club membership before it is effective. “This is a fantastic category of membership for the golf club,” said RSF Association Director Allen Finkelson. “If we had 100 of these people, it would be great. It would cement our future.”

FROM DILL, A1 impressed with Mr. Dill’s leadership of the district since he assumed the responsibility of interim superintendent last summer and are pleased that he has agreed to fulfill this role permanently.” The superintendent search was put on hold last fall following an unsuccessful round of interviews — Dill did not apply for the position at that time. The board met with Dill in closed session shortly before the winter break and unanimously decided to offer him the position permanently.
FROM VENUE, A2 people visited the center, but that number had dropped to about 62,000 in 2014. Similarly, annual revenue generated by the center dropped from $471,771 in 2010, to $128,489 in 2014. The trend has continued - a report showed that both daytime revenue and attendance declined in December 2016 compared to the same month one year earlier. 22nd DAA officials have blamed industry changes, such as the rise of Internet gambling and Indian casinos, for the declines. Among the ideas considered and rejected for “re-purposing” the satellite wagering center were a high-end movie complex, a bowling and entertainment center and a mico-brewery. Officials then began considering the idea of a concert venue. After conducting research internally, the 22nd DAA commissioned the study by the CSUSM business students. “The team’s findings revealed that there is a demand for a concert venue of 1,900 seats in San Diego that has not been met by existing competitors. By analyzing the industry and the competitors in the local area, the team was able to determine that investing in a concert venue would be profitable,” said the executive summary of the business students’ report. The students also determined that the 22nd DAA would recoup its initial investment in about five years. The study based its financial assumptions on an average ticket price of $45, with 90 shows booked per year. It also recommended that the 22nd DAA partner with the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach to book talent for the new concert venue. As the 22nd DAA moves forward with its
FROM WEBSITE, A2 site.” The new website will work with a companion smart-phone app to tailor a visitor’s experience, Richardson said. For example, the app will use GPS to let visitors know where and when attractions can be found, from rides to animals to concerts. “It’s going to be a very personal experience,” Richardson said. Fair officials will also have the ability to highlight featured events, such as concerts, when they want to bolster ticket sales, Richardson said. Officials delayed the website rollout last month after local Indian groups wrote to the district, saying that the
Herman added, “Mr. Dill transitioned into the superintendent role effortlessly. He is the right person to lead the district, continue our traditions of excellence, and build upon the student success for which our district is known.” The board of trustees will formally consider Dill’s contract in open session at its next regular board meeting on Jan.19. Dill’s appointment as permanent superintendent of the San Dieguito Union High School District will be immediately effective upon approval by the board of trustees. – Submitted press release plans, the $250,000 appropriation will be used for such tasks as exploring financing options and completing engineering drawings. One official said full construction plans could cost as much as $800,000, but Shewmaker said the board will have to approve any costs over the initial seed money authorized Jan. 3. The district will also have to work with the California Coastal Commission to determine if the new use for the building will require an amendment to a previously obtained coastal permit. Director David Watson said an amendment may not be needed, because the size of the building will not change, and it is already permitted for up to 5,000 people per day. Current daily attendance at the satellite wagering center is far below that number. Officials said a portion of the building would be reserved for satellite wagering after the renovation. Board president Russ Penniman said the district has set aside $5 million for re-purposing the satellite wagering center, and officials will be looking at a number of options for financing the rest of the project. Officials stressed that the Jan. 3 vote was not a final go-ahead for the project. Penniman said the board will want to know more precisely how much the renovation will cost, where the money will come from and what will be required by the Coastal Commission. “Once we get answers to those questions, then there will be a board discussion on moving forward,” Penniman said. That discussion could take place within the next six months, officials said. If the district does move forward with the concert venue project, officials said they will hire a project manager to oversee the work. fair’s 2017 theme, “How the West was Fun,” was offensive to Native Americans. The theme was a play on the phrase, “how the West was won,” which was also the title of a 1962 film. But in letters to the 22nd DAA, tribal leaders said the theme was insensitive to the murderous attacks inflicted on Indians during the 1800s. Fairgrounds officials then met with tribal leaders and agreed on a new theme: “Where the West is Fun.” The website was then updated to reflect the changed wording. The 22nd DAA said it will work with local tribal officials to include accurate Native American history in fair exhibits. The 2017 San Diego County Fair runs from June 2 through July 4.
TO YOUR HEALTH
Five things to know about integrative heart care Heart disease is the leading cause of death among both men and women in the United States, taking the lives of 610,000 Americans every year. While conventional medicine can offer heart patients the very latest technology in terms of medications, surgeries and interventional procedures to treat heart attacks and other acute heart conditions, preventing those problems is often less precise and sometimes more complex. “Certainly risk factors such as family history, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and genetics are important, but often there are other, less obvious aspects involved as well,” said Poulina Uddin, M.D., an integrative cardiologist who will be seeing patients at the Scripps Women’s Heart Center when it opens in San Diego in January. Here are five things to know about integrative heart care, which focuses on caring for all aspects of a person’s health. 1. Look beyond the physical symptoms. “If someone comes in with a heart attack, I ask what happened that day. Were they angry with someone? Was there a stressful event?” Uddin said. “All of the physical risk factors are important, but why did it happen on this particular day? And the majority of the time, there is some emotional or environmental trigger.” According to Uddin, who is board certified in both cardiology and integrative medicine, an integrative approach to heart care takes all of those factors – physical, emotional, psychological and social – into consideration when determining treatment and crafting an individualized care plan for each patient that reflects and acknowledges their unique lifestyle. 2. Make nutrition and exercise realistic and achievable. Physicians often instruct heart patients to eat well, exercise and live a healthy lifestyle, but patients may not have the knowledge and
Dr. Poulina Uddin tools they need to follow through on those instructions, Uddin says. A patient who is depressed, for example, is unlikely to stick to an exercise program unless the depression is addressed. Nutrition and cooking classes, for example, can help patients learn to make heart-healthy meals. Uddin recommends being very specific about dietary recommendations. “I actually ask the patients what they are eating, make a list, and then give very specific recommendations for substitutions, portions, and problem foods,” she said. “For example, replace your white rice with brown rice or quinoa, or eat only half of what you have taken on your plate. This gives makes it much easier for people to get started in the process.” 3. Learn effective ways to manage stress. Stress and anger can be major risk factors in heart disease, and learning to deal with these negative feeling can lower risk and benefit overall wellness. “I am a big proponent of dealing with stress. I send plenty of patients to acupuncture or healing touch, a therapy that focuses on the energy field surrounding the body. And I teach breathing exercises in my office,” Uddin said. “I often recommend yoga, and I recently became a certified yoga instructor myself because I want to be able to set up classes for my patients who are apprehensive about doing it on their own. A lot of patients just need that support.” 4. Complement
conventional medicine rather than replace it. Uddin noted that the integrative approach complements rather than replaces conventional heart care. For a generally healthy patient who may be slightly overweight and have high cholesterol, lifestyle changes such as improving their nutrition, exercising and managing stress may be enough to lower their risk, and having a personalized plan to follow makes that more realistic. If after six months there is no improvement, it may be time for medication – and that often raises questions about prescription versus supplements or “natural” products. 5. Use natural supplements wisely. Natural supplements such as fish oil and turmeric have a proven anti-inflammatory effect on the body and can help reduce risk, but for someone who has already had a heart attack or a stent placed in an artery, standard medications such as aspirin and statins are part of the recommended treatment. Some patients, however, may be reluctant to take prescription drugs, preferring instead to use herbs or supplements. While these alternatives may do the same thing as prescription medications, they tend to be far less regulated and tested for safety and effectiveness than prescription drugs. “Red yeast rice, for example, can be a substitute for statins, but the chemical effect on the body is essentially the same, and you’re still taking a pill that may or may not be as safety-tested as a prescription,” Uddin said. Successful integrative heart care starts with an open, honest dialogue with your physician, and creating a care plan that addresses your unique physical, emotional, social and spiritual health. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Dolce at Pacific Highlands to host CCA Foundation’s Rendezvous in Paris Gala VIP After-Party and January Restaurant Nights If you’ve tried to enter the new Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch shopping center weekdays at 3 p.m., you have no doubt witnessed the sea of teens descending upon the stores. Not only is it their place to socialize, it has become an extension of their school. With Canyon Crest Academy right across the street, these young adults have an easy stroll into the mall to fulfill their afternoon craving for a latte, an ice cream sandwich or sushi. Many CCA students have expressed that the plaza is as much a part of their everyday life as is the school itself. It’s no surprise some of the establishments recognize CCA families as a vital piece to their success. With Rendezvous in Paris, Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s Annual Gala on Feb. 25, a few of the center’s shops and restaurants have generously donated auction items. And one establishment in particular has partnered with the CCA Foundation to make sure CCA’s premier event is a huge success! Dolce at the Highlands has very generously agreed to donate the VIP After-Party, featuring a meet and greet with Tony-nominated performer Susan Egan immediately following the dinner and show on the Canyon Crest Academy campus. In speaking with Steve Flowers, manager at Dolce, he shared, “It’s important for us at Dolce to be part of the gala. We recognize we are all a part of the same community and know that CCA’s success is our success, too.” Not only will Dolce at the Highlands be hosting the VIP After-Party and the meet and greet after the gala on Feb. 25, they will also host several CCA Tuesday Night Dinners this month. When you dine-in at Dolce on Tuesday nights in January, please mention you heard they were donating 15 percent of the bill to CCA. Dolce wants our Carmel Valley community to know they are excited to be part of the high school experience and want to become the community’s go-to restaurant for fabulous cuisine. Dolce sources only local and fresh foods and they have an extensive relationship with Chino Farms in Rancho Santa Fe – so you know your entree will be fresh and delicious.

This year’s CCA Gala - Rendezvous in Paris featuring Susan Egan – will be held on Saturday, Feb. 25. The event begins at CCA at 5 p.m. with dinner and a live auction. Showtime is 7 p.m. and the VIP After-Party follows immediately after the show for dessert and champagne with Susan Egan at Dolce.

‘Marjorie Prime’ explores aging in the techno age
La Jolla Cultural Partners
FROM NCRT REPORTS North Coast Repertory Theatre continues its Season 35 with the San Diego premiere of “Marjorie Prime,” a finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, written by Jordan Harrison and directed by Matthew Wiener. The New York Times called the play “an elegant, thoughtful, quietly unsettling drama.” “Marjorie Prime,” focuses on artificial intelligence that in the near future will treat dementia and depression in a surprising way. “Primes” — humanoid life-like robots — will be able to speak with patients in the form of lost loved ones and provide companionship for the lonely. The script has been adapted into a film that will debut at the Sundance Festival this year, starring Jon Hamm, Tim Robbins, Geena Davis and Lois Smith. Noted actress Dee Maaske said she is excited to portray Marjorie Prime in the NCRT production. Once a classical violinist, Maaske’s theatrical résumé spans performance halls in the United States, Europe and the Middle East. She has had more than 50 roles in 21 seasons at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. In 2004, she was asked by Horton Foote to play Carrie Watts for his 50th anniversary production of “The Trip to Bountiful” at Hartford Stage Company and the Alley Theatre in Houston. “Artistic director David Ellenstein called me about doing ‘Marjorie Prime’ at the North Coast Rep,” she explained. “I worked with his father, Robert Ellenstein, at the

young. It’s nice to reconnect with David, as well as to do this play with new cast members to work with.
“The script and its content are interesting ... particularly now that there’s a lot of attention being paid to changing our lifestyles,” Maaske said. “We see inventions all over the country now with virtual, mechanical and new scientific things that will help our lives — some, people would never have dreamed of! Though this idea is a little creepy, to me it’s a ‘What if?’ What if someone near you passes away and you could provide another person in their life with 10 more years to be there for them! “This is a play that deals with character studies and it has interesting characters, I think that’s why it won a nomination for a Pulitzer,” Maaske said. “All three of the actors in this production are great to work with. Elaine Rivkin plays my daughter, who has moved me (at age 85) to her West Coast home, which she shares with her husband. She and I have twists and turns that are interesting. I think many of the audience members will find this thought-provoking and initiate some stimulating conversations after they leave the theater. “Sometimes people tend to forget that older people have sensuous thoughts — they like a good drink, joke, conversation — and the more we do such with them, the better off they are.” The cast also includes Steve Froelich and Gregory North.

Local poet Patricia Dugger to read works at event BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY ot long after losing her husband in 1998, Patricia Dugger found a new calling in life — poetry. Just prior to his death, her husband would drive his wife to late-night poetry meetings with the Carlsbad City Library Magee Park Poets. Shortly after, Dugger was published for the first time and her husband got to see the work before he died. “I found [poetry] as sort of a new focus in my life,” Dugger, 87, said. “It’s like my husband introduced me to my new life.” The longtime Cardiff-by-the-Sea woman has since joined multiple local poetry clubs — including being one of the first members of the Full Moon poetry group, which will hold a reading Jan. 14 with Dugger and three other local poets. Dugger, who was named Encinitas’ poet laureate in 2005, said she enjoys reading poetry often, but she doesn’t write her own poetry every day. But when inspiration hits, she’s hard to stop, said the author of three poetry books. “I write about everything,” she said, adding that she’ll look for prompts by hearing or seeing something interesting that might be included in a poem. Cardiff, where Dugger settled with her family in 1952, has inspired her
N
Patricia Dugger because of how long she has lived in her home and how close she is to the ocean, she said. When asked whether her writing tended to be fiction or non-fiction, Dugger, who is influenced by poets like Tony Hoagland and Ted Kooser, said she believes “fiction doesn’t relate to poetry.” “Once, my granddaughter asked me, ‘Nana, is this true? Did this really happen?’” she said. “I told her, ‘Honey, it’s somebody’s truth.’ I do make up stuff. Once in a great while, I’ve had maybe five poems that have been gifts that sort of just slid out of my mind.”

The most important criteria of a successful poem is that it evokes emotion, she said. For Saturday’s reading, Dugger said each poet will have about 20 minutes to read their work. Patrick Brady, Darius Degher and Jim Babwe will also read. Dugger expects to read about a dozen poems and offer background information for each one, which is something she said she has never done before. The free event, presented by 101 Artists Colony and taking place at 540 Cornish Drive, will begin at 6 p.m., with seating starting at 5:30 p.m.

Alumni, TPHS soccer players meet up for fundraising event, match Award-winning cookbook author New traditions and old collided recently as the Torrey Pines High School Soccer Program hosted its 2nd Annual FUTGOLF FUNdraising Tournament and the boys welcomed alumni for the long-standing Alumni Soccer Game at Torrey Pines Stadium. The morning started off early as FUTGOLFers took over the Rancho Carlsbad FUTGolf Course striking and "putting" their way through 18 holes. Everyone was a winner as the group raised over $4,000 to support the boys and girls programs. Funds raised will support equipment for the boys and girls, as well as coach stipends. In the evening the boys hosted the long-standing grudge match between varsity and alumni. Coach Andy Hargreaves welcomed players from throughout his 20 years as head coach. Since it is deemed a friendly game among fellow Falcons, few were willing to talk about the score, except to say that the alumni led by example! Go Falcons.

Mitchell Thorp Foundation to hold 5K Run/Walk Feb. 4
Eighth annual event will raise funds for families with children facing life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders Each year, a quarter of a million children in the United States, including more than 1,200 in San Diego County, are diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. Mitchell Thorp Foundation (“MTF”) has been helping these children and families with financial, emotional and resource support to their desperate situations. “Not many organizations can claim more than 90 percent of all funds raised go directly to the programs to assist the families and children,” noted MTF Co-Founder and CEO, Brad Thorp. “We are proud that we can.” MTF will hold its largest fundraiser of the year, the eighth annual 5K Run/Walk, on Feb. 4 at Poinsettia Park in Carlsbad. This year, the event will be themed around these Warrior Children who fight every day for their lives. “Bring Out The Warrior Within to Help a Warrior Child” will set the stage for the 5K, which will feature a chip-timed race for runners and a beautiful park loop for walkers. In addition, a kids’ obstacle course with great prizes, warrior trophy awarded to largest team, music, and food will set the stage for a great day for the entire family. The funds raised from the event will benefit the families in these grave situations. “There are so many hurdles faced by these families and we are honored to be able to help them,”
said MTF Co-Founder and Executive Director Beth Thorp. In addition to medical bills and emotional strain, statistically, 78 percent of married couples caring for a terminally ill child end in divorce or separation, often bankrupting them financially, psychically and spiritually. By direct contrast, MTF has a 100 percent success rate in keeping the families they serve together. “We are most proud of that fact,” said Beth. The event is once again made possible by the support of sponsors, including Independent Financial Group, DATRON, Mission Federal Credit Union and NRG Energy. Information, online registration or to donate can be found at mitchellthorp.org. The Mitchell Thorp Foundation (MTF) is a public 501 (c)(3) organization, commemorating Mitchell’s shortened life of 18 years and his five-year heroic struggle against an undiagnosed illness. Mitchell’s strength and courage, along with the community’s support, collectively inspired the family to establish MTF that supports families whose children suffer from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders, by providing financial, emotional and resources to their desperate situation. In addition, the MTF provides scholarships and awards to promising young athletes, like Mitchell.

Going Nuts Over Seeds — Part 2
W
hen I was growing up, chia pets were all the rage. As a gag for my Sweet 16 birthday, one of my friends gave me a kitschy chia dog that magically grew a luxurious “fur” coat after I placed hundreds of tiny chia seeds on the canine’s bare body, and watered them religiously for several days. Today I still embrace those precious chia seeds, but now I sprinkle them on everything from acai bowls, smoothies and hot cereals to green salads, pastas, and stir fries, along with blending them in pancakes, scones, muffins and quick breads to dial up flavor, texture and add a nutritional oomph. The chia plant or chia sage botanically known as Salvia hispanica, a native of the Mexican central valley, and staple of the Aztec and Mayan diets for thousands of years, has ironically transformed into a trendy new superfood of the Western world. The petite, elliptically-shaped black seed has Herculean powers, especially being hydrophilic. Having the ability to absorb more than 10 times its weight in water makes this potent oilseed both hydrating for athletes and healthful for diabetics as it puts the skids on the rate at which carbs are converted into sugars. Soaked in almond, soy or coconut milk for an hour, the wondrous seeds form a gelatinous
■ Ingredients (Serves 4): • 1 cup buckwheat (kasha), whole or coarse • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1 sweet onion, diced • 1 cup mushrooms (crimini, button, oyster, your choice), sliced • 1 large egg, beaten • 2 cups broth (chicken, vegetable or mushroom)
mixture that makes a refreshing fresca or indulgent pudding. There’s more. Having a rich store of vitamins, minerals, proteins, dietary fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, this translates to multiple benefits for mind, body and soul. Feeling sluggish and logy? Chia seeds boost energy and enhance your work-out regimen. Have brittle bones and chalky teeth? Chia seeds are a calcium powerhouse beating out milk by a long shot. Your ticker need tweaking? Chias reduce inflammation, bad cholesterol and blood pressure levels to keep the heart and constitution humming. Want to shed some holiday pounds? These
slimming seeds regulate digestion and slow down food absorption. As an added boon, they’re gluten-free with a heap of antioxidants to ward off harmful and aging free radicals. At last, the high fatty acid profile lubricates brain cells to keep you sharp and alert. Hearty and stable, chias have a long shelf life, unlike flax seeds that turn rancid quickly if not stored in a cool, dark place. Another seed-related flashback to my youth relates to buckwheat, which my grandmother sautéed with onions and mushrooms, and tossed with little bow tie pastas (recipe provided) as a side dish for chicken, brisket or fish. The kernels would perfume her kitchen with a distinct earthiness, so strong it would trail out the door. Once considered an ethnic dish popularly served at delis and other Jewish eateries, buckwheat is making a culinary conversion, becoming part of the mainstream repertoire of chefs coast to coast. Of ancient Central Asian origins, buckwheat is a misnomer, since it is neither a wheat, grass
• 1 cup (cooked, drained) whole-wheat bow tie pasta (farfalle) ■ Method: Heat oil on medium in a covered saucepan and sauté onions and mushrooms until tender. In a mixing bowl, blend kasha, egg and seasoning. Add to saucepan. Cook on medium until groats separate. Add broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covering pot until liquid is absorbed (about 10 minutes). Toss in pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley.
nor cereal grain, though its chewy texture rife with complex carbs earned it the moniker “pseudo-cereal.” A member of the rhubarb and sorrel family, buckwheat is a pyramid-shaped seed coated with a black hull. When the latter is removed, the kernel or groat is exposed, which can be ground into buckwheat flour to impart a nutty flavor to pancakes, breads or Japanese soba noodles. When prepared toasted and whole, the seed is commonly called “kasha,” enjoyed as a sweet breakfast cereal, tossed in salads to add a protein load for a complete meal, molded into toothsome vegetable burgers, or used as a filling for cabbage rolls or a rice substitute. Buckwheat contains a motherlode of gluten-free, anti-inflammatory nutrients, including vitamins B1 and B2 for metabolic functions and stress relief, iron and copper to pump up blood health, magnesium for normal muscle, nerve and bone function, and trace minerals, such as, phosphorous, zinc, and selenium to store energy and boost the immune system.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JANUARY 12, 2017 - PAGE B13
LCC students spread joy south of the border While most high school students spent their winter break skiing, surfing or just hanging out with friends, more than a dozen students from La Costa Canyon High School packed two truck loads full of donations and headed down to Mexico. They delivered the goods to the Rancho de los Ninos Orphanage in the Guadalupe Valley in Baja, Mexico. RSF resident Marnie Burnett, a junior at La Costa Canyon High School, started the school club, Casa de Vida, in September. “I just wanted to bring the joy of serving in the Mexican Orphanages to LCC, I just loved that spirit so much.” Marnie has worked in orphanages with her family all over the world, but her favorite is Rancho de los Ninos. “It’s just so close and only takes about two hours to drive there from San Diego. I love seeing the same kids when I go and I love that they recognize me too.” This year, the club did a sweatshirt drive at LCC. “We ended up with over 150 sweatshirts in all sizes,” explains Lahni Suzuki, an LCC junior, who is the vice president of Casa de Vida. “The Guadalupe Valley gets chilly in the winter and the kids loved the soft, warm sweatshirts. The experience was really beyond my expectations and seeing the kids so happy brought us all so much joy.” The club also collected toys and Christmas gifts that they wrapped and presented to the children. “We brought over 200 toys which we organized, wrapped and cataloged the day before and then we arranged them on tables according to age and handed them to the kids as they came up. They were all lined up with the youngest in front and were so excited. We also made lunch for the whole orphanage and workers. We had a BBQ and served over 250 burgers and hot dogs and learned that they

Another club member, LCC junior, Zoe Slipper adds, “I loved playing with the kids and helping them in any way I could. Serving with my friends was so special. It was also a great way to increase my Spanish skills as well as my social skills. I love this club and will never forget this trip.” When the students learned that there was a teenage boy orphanage down the road by 3 miles that didn’t get many visitors, they invited the boys to lunch and made sure each one received a sweatshirt. After lunch, a friendly game of soccer broke out and Lucas Thile, a junior at LCC, said that was his favorite part of the day. “The kids had no soccer equipment, proper shoes and just a really old flat ball, but they loved the game. As we played and laughed and competed, we all felt so connected and it didn’t matter that we were from different worlds, we felt like one.” Lucas plans to play collegiate soccer, but this winter break his favorite teammates were the kids from Rancho de los Ninos.

Drivers express skepticism over emerging vehicle technology Vehicle vocabulary such as GPS, airbags, and anti-lock brakes often ring familiar to most drivers across the United States. But words like electronic stability control, lane departure warnings, and rearparking sensors can often garner a look of bewilderment, so a MetLife study suggests after concluding that Americans remain deeply skeptical over emerging vehicle technologies. Of Americans who responded to the
survey, nearly two-thirds said they did not entirely trust car technology, particularly with devices used in-cabin, due in part to the unnecessary reliance on GPS or in-car social networking. But while respondents doubted many of the creature comforts of today, chalking them up to mere distractions, nearly 85 percent remained faithfully reliant on tried-andtrue technologies like seatbelts, airbags, and anti-lock brakes – safety systems proven to reduce the instances of car accidents. While many Americans remain technologically savvy, less than a third of those who were surveyed said they were still unsure about car technology, due in part to unfamiliarity, but also due to car technology’s reputation of creating potentially unsafe driving conditions. And in a surprising twist, many Americans expressed confusion over base safety features including electronic stability

control, a feature that helps drivers gain control over their vehicle in potentially unsafe driving conditions. Over 60 percent of respondents said they would choose a GPS device over electronic stability control due in part to the lack of knowledge surrounding useful – if not essential -- car technology needed today. Get to know your car technology Now you can be the expert on the lesscommonly discussed car technology that stands at the heart of increased driving safety. Electronic Stability Control Commonly referred to as ESC, electronic stability control should not be chalked up to a creature comfort. Instead, ESC can be a life-saving device since it uses computer technology to detect slipping, skidding, and even hydroplaning, instantly engaging the brakes, so collision impacts – if they occur – are significantly reduced.
Lane departure warning systems Driving while tired is unfortunately all too common, but technology like lane departure warning systems can help drivers avoid a car accident altogether as it will warn drivers when they drift into another lane unexpectedly, thereby reducing the chance of collision and personal injury. Rear parking sensor If you drive a luxury vehicle, you may already have a rear parking sensor installed. But if you don’t, or if you drive an older vehicle, consider getting one installed as it can save another person’s life. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of children who are run over each year by cars backing up unknowingly. Using a rear parking sensor can help improve your parallel parking, prevent needless car damage, and most importantly, it can safe a child’s life.

Surfers enter the water for the 2016 One Wave Challenge, which was held at the La Jolla Shores beach.
One Wave Challenge returns with attempts to break world record FROM ONE WAVE REPORTS The world-record-breaking One Wave Challenge invites surfers to share a single wave for the benefit of Boys to Men Mentoring Network, a San Diego nonprofit dedicated to guiding and supporting high-risk and fatherless boys on their journey to manhood. This year’s One Wave Challenge will attract surfers to La Jolla Shores on the morning of Saturday, Jan. 21, for the chance to smash the current world record for most surfers riding one wave, a feat accomplished seven years ago in Cape Town, South Africa, when 110 surfers rode a single wave to shore. The 2016 La Jolla attempt to break the record got close, with 97 riders on one wave. “The One Wave Challenge gives surfers, of all ages and abilities, the chance to participate in something much larger than themselves at the start of a New Year,” said Boys to Men Executive Director Craig McClain. “We see the event generating a spirit of excitement and possibility that will inspire our work throughout the coming year.” The second event will be limited to 180 participants. Surfers will be challenged to raise a minimum of $250 to participate, with proceeds benefitting Boys to Men’s life-changing mentoring programs. Surfers will be treated to a delicious breakfast, a schwag bag
— including a commemorative T-shirt, hat and rash guard — and a beachside concert performed by local beach-rock band, Sandollar. Running enthusiasts will have the chance to participate in a new wrap-around event: The Torrey Pines Adventure Run. Starting and finishing on the beach at La Jolla Shores, the five-mile run will have runners racing to the back fence of the iconic Torrey Pines South golf course. The scenic race route will showcase the beauty of the La Jolla coastline, while exposing runners to its rugged terrain and expansive vistas. Hosted by Easy Day Sports and timed to coincide with the One Wave Challenge, the adventure run will allow runners to finish their race and then watch the surfing spectacle unfold. The Torrey Pines Adventure Run registration fee is $60. A full-race entry refund will be given to any runner who raises $250 or more for the Boys to Men organization. Limited to 500 participants, the race features a men’s and women’s elite division, a general classification time-trial start, age-group awards and breakfast. The La Jolla Shores Business Association is planning a weekend of exciting promotions, events and activities designed to immerse community residents and visitors in the spirit of the One Wave Challenge. —Read more at 1wavechallenge.org

La Jolla Music Society features Kronos Quartet Jan. 20 La Jolla Music Society’s Revelle Chamber Music Series continues with the Kronos Quartet at MCASD Sherwood Auditorium on Friday, Jan. 20 at 8 p.m. For more than 40 years, the Grammy Award-winning Kronos Quartet has been at the forefront of new writing in classical music, building an eclectic repertoire for string quartet through its collaborations with living composers and genre-defying artists. Kronos Quartet’s music has been featured in films such as Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, 21 Grams, Heat and True Stories. Their work has also garnered numerous awards, including a Grammy for Best Chamber Music Performance (2004) and “Musicians of the Year” (2003) from Musical America. Making their La Jolla Music Society debut, Kronos bring a program of contemporary works by composers, including Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, Terry Riley, Sofia Gubaidulina, Garth Knox and Wu Man.

La Jolla Music Society presents cellist Moreau La Jolla Music Society’s Discovery Series continues with Edgar Moreau at The Auditorium at TSRI on Sunday, Jan. 22 at 3 p.m. Making his La Jolla Society debut, 22-year old, Paris-born cellist Edgar Moreau has been hailed as “the rising star of the French cello.” (Le Figaro Magazine) and praised for his “gift for mellifluous line with a sparkle and a spirited rhythmic impetus”, as well as his “mature tone, lyrical polish and romantic leanings” (Gramophone). With numerous prestigious and influential awards already under his belt, including the 2009 Young Soloist Prize at the Rostropovich Cello Competition, Moreau was awarded in 2015 the coveted Arthur Waser Award, earning him an orchestral debut with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and a career development grant.
Having since gone on to concertize with Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre National de France, Seattle Symphony and Los Angeles Philharmonic, Moreau continues to play solo recitals across Europe and the U.S. His La Jolla recital features three sonatas: J.S. Bach’s beautiful Sonata No. 3 in G Minor for Viola da Gamba opens the program, followed by the expressive and sometimes fiery Sonata in A Major for Cello and Piano by Franck, and then – in contrast – Schnittke’s 1978 Sonata No. 1 for Cello and Piano. The program concludes with the technically demanding Introduction and Polonaise Brilliante, written by a teenage Chopin. The Auditorium at TSRI is located at 10620 John J Hopkins Dr., San Diego, 92121. Visit www.ljms.org.
