RSF Association member questions tennis guest policy BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board had a discussion about the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club’s guest fee policy at its March 2 meeting. The board was approving the tennis club’s new governing documents, which included a resolution regarding the club’s managerial, operational and financial responsibility and plan of operation. RSF Association board member Allen

Finkelson noted that this was the first time the tennis club has ever had a resolution establishing the club as an independent body — it had always operated that way but did not have the same pro-forma relationship with the Association as the golf club. The documents were approved in a 6-1 vote with Mike Licosati voting against them as he believes that the tennis club’s guest policy is unfair and inconsistent with the golf club’s

guest policy. “They are consistent in the fact that both of them limit the number of times that an individual can appear as a guest to 12,” Finkelson said. “They are different in the respect that golf does not limit a Covenant resident from being a guest whereas tennis does limit a Covenant member from being a guest.” The golf club’s policy is that regular members can bring the same guest up

to 12 times per fiscal year. The fee is $120 for 18 holes Monday through Thursday and $130 for 18 holes Friday through Sunday. For Covenant residents, the guest fee for limited playing privileges is $1,000 a year—about $80 a round, versus a $12 fee for non-residents. “That to me belies logic,” Licosati said. “The Association membership owns the property the tennis club is SEE FEE, A20

RSF School to create strategic plan for arts program BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District will move forward on developing a strategic plan for enriching its visual and performing arts curriculum, approving a contract with independent consultant Ashley Adams at its March 2 meeting. The RSF School District board unanimously approved a $9,000 contract with Adams to help work on implementing improvements as early as the next school year, as well as developing a plan for the long term.

Adams was the first drama teacher at Canyon Crest Academy where RSF School District Superintendent David Jaffe was the founding principal. She went on to become a director in the school’s specialized Envision program that includes cinema, dance, theater, music and digital and fine arts. The board approved an initial $8,000 contract with Adams in October 2015 and she spent the following months observing and evaluating the program. In February she presented her report to the board, stressing the importance of arts

integration, ensuring arts teaching and learning is rigorous and standards-based, more professional development for teachers, and strengthening the art department’s organization so the department can work more effectively. In his approval of the contract, board member Scott Kahn requested that the board be kept informed about any cost differences of proposed improvements so they know how it will impact the overall school budget. Jaffe agreed: “You can dream it but there is a cost to dream it.”

RSF Association High-speed Internet service project moves handles OSHA complaint into design and engineering phase RSF ASSOCIATION

BY RICK SAPP AND MIKE LICOSATI he RSF Association Technology Committee is advancing the high-speed Internet project and will commission a firm to create plans for the architecture of a fiber network. The RSF Association Board of Directors deemed this project the most important strategic initiative for 2017, and the Tech Committee has been working diligently and quickly to bring gigabit Internet speeds to our community. We are excited to have completed the research and analysis phase, and we are now moving into the engineering and design phase. Over the past several weeks, the Tech Committee has completed several rounds of meetings with vendors that offer Internet and media services, engineering and design expertise, and network construction services. We engaged with the key players, large and small, that have had success bringing high-speed Internet to communities. We met with existing providers of Internet services in our area to probe their commitments to expand and upgrade their current offering. We researched fiber-optic cable networks being built in other communities, such as Sea Ranch in Sonoma County. We studied many approaches with different network designs, some involving legacy and hybrid network designs. We also examined various construction and installation techniques for their suitability to our geography and to assess costs.

After a thorough job exploring the industry and our options, the Tech Committee determined that the best way to move forward is to create the network design. On Feb. 27, we issued a request for Proposals (RFP) for network architecture to a number of the qualified vendors we have vetted. The network design is the simplest, most flexible and reliable approach that the committee considered. Here’s how the network will be fashioned: Single fibers will run to every member home and building site from a centrally located network hub building. Optical processing equipment will be located in the network hub and in the member homes via modem devices. The fiber cables may be buried underground in the roads or in the utility right-of way alongside the roads. Backup electrical power and redundant outside Internet connections for the network will be installed at the hub. We believe this design will create a highly reliable, low-maintenance and very secure network. The Tech Committee has considered use of the Association trail system and is considering Association owned-trails (such as trails around the Golf Club). We identified trails in the utility right-of-way along roadways for use in the design. As we move along in the design phase, if a particular trail has high potential, we may contact homeowners to discuss their willingness to grant a utility easement on the portion of the trail crossing their property. Once proposals are received, the committee

will review them for vendor credentials and experience, cost to create the design, and quality of their engineering and construction resources. We will then select the vendor that is the best fit and most advantageous to our project. The Tech Committee’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Audit/Finance Committee and the Board of Directors for approval. Deliverables of the design contract will include a detailed construction cost estimate and engineering and construction drawings for the planned network. We are excited to bring our plan to the community and, with member approval, advance as rapidly as possible. We understand how much a fiber network will positively impact our daily lives, improve our community and boost property values, and will continue to move this important project forward. The Tech Committee will communicate with members throughout the engineering and design phase, and will keep you up to date on our next steps. We are excited to welcome new Association Manager Bob Hall, and know that this initiative will benefit from his complex project and regulatory approval experience. As always, the Tech Committee encourages all comments or suggestions on this vital project from our members and Village businesses. You may email comments to RSFA@RSFAssociation.org. Sapp and Licosati are RSF Association board members and Technology Committee co-chairs

Secluded Covenant Estate

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association recently resolved a complaint received from OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. According to RSF Association Interim Manager Christy Whalen, the Association was notified by OSHA of an employee complaint regarding air quality at the village office building. The complaint alleged a toxic and bad smell in the offices, possibly due to bathroom drains or decaying rodents. Last week the Association brought in an industrial hygienist, an air quality inspector of the highest credentials, to conduct a full inspection and test for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and organic vapors. The test results reported out clean, showing carbon dioxide levels were within the normal range and the carbon monoxide hydrogen sulfide and organic vapors were all at zero. Whalen said they would be reporting back to OSHA about the results as well as informing them about additional steps they have taken, including pest control, changing air filters every three months and a recent drain inspection. “I think we have done a very thorough job,” Whalen said. “We take such a complaint very seriously and want to make sure that we have a very safe environment for our employees.”

RSF Association considers options for Richardson Field restroom

CCA’s Teen Giving Club is raising funds for educational video Teen Giving Club, a nonprofit organization founded by Canyon Crest Academy high school students, is expanding its global efforts in humanitarian services with a documented trip to Guatemala to volunteer at local orphanages. The group’s mission, in addition to making a difference in the lives of the orphaned children, is to empower other teenagers to get involved in their communities and develop a love for volunteerism. They plan to do this through a filmed documentary recording the step-by-step process of how the students made their idea a reality and their time spent at the Guatemalan orphanages. Teen Giving Club hopes to distribute the documentary as a motivational video to high schools across the country. The group of student volunteers will travel to Guatemala’s Hogar Miguel Magone and Maria Auxiliadora orphanages and will offer their services by spending time with the children through teaching English and facilitating other activities, such as classroom crafts, music and dance sessions, and friendly sporting games. Professional independent filmmaker Anjalika Sharma has offered her time pro bono and will join the group’s trip to document their incredible journey. To help raise funds to cover for Sharma’s transportation and travel expenses, please contact Chloe Gubbay directly at 858-242-8187 or donate to the

BY KAREN BILLING At the February board meeting, the Rancho Santa Fe Association received a member complaint about the porta potty at Richardson Field. The temporary restroom, which the resident feels to be out of compliance with the Covenant, is located behind the stands near the bullpen on the sports field at Rambla de las Flores. According to Interim Manager Christy Whalen, a subcommittee of the trails and recreation committee, Association staff and Dudek environmental consultants went out and walked the property last month and discussed the possibility of several options. Options include moving the porta potty to an alternative location, leaving it at its current location but building a structure around it to help conceal it, or to explore the costs of building a permanent restroom facility. The subcommittee can also look at removing the porta potty as the resident requested, taking into consideration the impact it would have on local sports leagues that use the field. The porta potty will remain until the Rancho Santa Fe Little League season is over in June.

Early lives of two Western icons detailed in new book “Dodge City” author to speak at RSF Library March 13 BY JOE TASH Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson are two of the most famous names from the history of the American West. As lawmen and adventurers, they sought to bring a measure of order to frontier towns known for chaos and killings. A new book, “Dodge City,” tells the story of how Earp and Masterson met and put their lives on the line in a hostile environment, during the wild and lawless days of the 1870s. Author Tom Clavin will talk about his work and answer questions during a luncheon at the Rancho Santa Fe Library on Monday, March 13. (That evening, Clavin will speak at Warwick’s book store in La Jolla.) The 11:30 a.m. event is sponsored by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, and members can purchase tickets for $45, which includes a light lunch, the author presentation and a signed copy of the

book, which was published Feb. 28 by St. Martin’s Press. Non-members can attend the talk on a space-available basis, and copies of the book will be available for sale. For Tom Clavin reservations or to become a Guild member, visit www.rsflibraryguild.org, or call 858-756-4780. Earp, who is best known for the shootout at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Ariz., met Masterson when the two were buffalo hunters, said Clavin in an interview. After shooting the beasts, they had to skin them and sell the hides. “It was rotten, dirty, smelly, disgusting work but it paid very well,” Clavin said. Later, they became lawmen - Earp as assistant marshal for Dodge City, and Masterson as sheriff of Ford County. Both men were in their 20s when they began their law enforcement careers. Their job was to tame an essentially lawless place, Dodge City, Kansas, where people were literally shooting each other in the streets. SEE BOOK, A20

RSF resident elected Chief of Staff at Scripps Green Hospital Physicians at Scripps Green Hospital have elected general and laparoscopic surgeon Amy Day, M.D., a Rancho Santa Fe resident, as the hospital’s new chief of staff. Day’s two-year term began on March 7. As chief of staff, Day will serve as the primary medical staff liaison to Scripps Green’s administrative leadership staff and Scripps Health’s board of trustees. She will play a key role in driving continuous quality improvements to the more than 90,000 patients who are treated at the hospital annually. Day succeeds the hospital’s outgoing chief of staff, Maida Soghikian, M.D. “Dr. Day’s commitment to Scripps Green Hospital and our patients over the years make her an ideal medical staff leader,” said Robin Brown, chief executive of Scripps Green. “Her experience and expertise will serve her well, and we’re pleased to welcome her to this new role.” As Scripps Green’s chief of staff, Day will focus on helping to implement a number of key initiatives at the hospital, including the launch of Scripps’ new electronic medical record system, EPIC.

Expedition to Antarctica

Family goes on record-breaking journey to Ross Sea BY KAREN BILLING Local residents Alex and Daria Myers and their 8-year-old son Nikolai recently went on an adventure to Antarctica’s Ross Sea, part of a cruise that broke the world record for the southernmost navigation of any vessel in the world, coming within two meters of the Ross Ice Shelf. The trio made the once-in-a-lifetime trip on a 644-foot, luxury private residential ship called The World. This was avid-travelers Daria and Alex’s second voyage to Antarctica but their first time traveling outside the country with their son. “It was an honor to be a part of an expedition team who live and breathe Antarctica,” Alex said. “I broke the record,” proclaimed Nikolai proudly, who can be considered the youngest southernmost passenger in the world. The Myers’ expedition began on Jan. 14 in Hobart, the Southernmost Australian city, and returned to New Zealand on Feb. 7. With 120 passengers on board and about 600 crew, it took five days at sea to reach the Ross Sea, the expert crew threading the needle of storms. “The Ross Sea is perhaps The World’s most ambitious expedition to date,” said expedition leader Rob McCallum on a commemorative trip video made by the crew. “Extremely remote, completely at the whim of ice and weather, but what a magical playground to explore.” Alex said the common theme on the ship was the incredible weather they had, which

The World reaching the world record-breaking southernmost point, within two meters of the Ross Ice Shelf. allowed them to break the record but also to have the fortune to see sights such as the Belleny Islands. McCallum told the passengers that they don’t always take that route by the islands due to weather and that he had never actually seen them as it is almost always foggy and snowy. The passengers were fortunate to get a clear view of the islands. “We got eight days of sunny, still weather. For Antarctica it was the perfect weather,” Alex said of the 24 hours of sunlight, temperatures in the 30s throughout — the coldest it got was 15 degrees with the wind chill. Daria said when people think of snow and

penguins, it doesn’t keep the animals from approaching humans. At one point, Nikolai found himself surrounded by the friendly, curious animals. Having been to Antarctica before, the Myers didn’t want to have any expectations because the itinerary is so fluid and the weather and wildlife can be unpredictable. Their one hope, which they thought would be unlikely, was to be able to do a nice, long hike. However, due to the great weather conditions, the family was able to go on a “significant” two-mile hike, running in the snow in insulated boots and conquering small rocky peaks. SEE JOURNEY, A22

ice they think of just plain white but Antarctica takes on every shade of light and color imaginable. They were able to see incredible wildlife, including seals, seabirds and tons of Emperor penguins and Adelie penguins. “There aren’t too many things that eat penguins, leopard seals primarily, but they are extremely awkward on land. The penguins have zero land-based threats so they’re not conditioned to be afraid (of humans),” Alex said. While the Antarctic Treaty that governs visitors mandates that humans not approach

Future Legends mentors, board meet at RSF Golf Club

he Future Legends mentors and board of directors met at the RSF Golf Club March 2 to welcome back to RSF their first graduate, Steven Sakara, as well as to nominate and officially install Sakara as a member of the board of directors. Sakara graduated from Baylor University in 2016 and immediately expressed his desire to “give back” to the scholarship program which provided him with not only financial support but also emotional support in boosting his confidence while at university. In addition to being a vital participating part of the board, Sakara will continue with his favorite endeavor, the mentoring of the younger students. Vearl Smith also announced an exciting new phase of the scholarship program for the upcoming graduates, a stipend to buy suitable clothing for career opportunity interviews. Nordstrom is collaborating with Future Legends and their mentors to provide personal shoppers to assist

these students in selecting appropriate business attire. Also announced were “ticklers” regarding two new fundraising programs; Coin-Up will benefit all the local RSF 501(c)3 organizations and Songwriting for Soldiers will be the focus and shared fundraiser with Future Legends this summer on Sept. 11. Future Legends is a 501(c)3 organization awarding two scholarships each year to qualified students for the four-year duration of their university studies. Mentors are assigned to each student to help guide these young people through the challenges with regard to their studies. The selection process has already begun for the new scholars, in cooperation with the First Tee S.D. subsidiary, Pro Kids. New mentors will also be needed. If you are interested in helping with this rewarding aspect of the Future Legends, please email Daria Quay at dq4legends@gmail.com. Online: www.rsfreview.com

An ordinary day...browsing through mail I noticed a piece in the Rancho Santa Fe Review. McNally’s Antique Store was closing! Scratch the plan to take my daughter Jenn to McNally’s for her 15th anniversary present. The opportunity to override Jenn’s “Techie Mentality” -- gone! Giving Jenn a treasure -- hand wrought and exquisite, also gone! Serving pieces of Gorham’s 18th century Sterling pattern Versailles would not happen in the Ranch. Buying online...an awful alternative. At McNally’s, Jenn could have been surrounded by their amazing collection of Art Nouveau, paintings and continental furnishings; an experience “fit for the gods!” True, auctions of Sterling exist in London and New York. But McNally’s is here, 40 years later, smack in the middle of downtown. Connie and Bill are celebrities, providing more than the sale of antiques. They were a reliable source of information...inspiration;

theirs was a shop where memories were made. They mentored buyers and browsers alike. Back in the ‘90s I visited them with my acquisition bought at auction in London. Connie loved it! She gave me detailed information on my Victorian Sterling kettle (Connie was then the editor of Silver Magazine; known nationwide for her expertise!) She sent someone to my home with instructions on how to clean and care for it. Wondering why I am inconsolable? Go there! Take a peek at the hand-wrought one-of-a-kind treasures of another century. Immerse yourself in their beauty, and understand that this “landmark Institution” is closing its doors forever. Bring young folks, there is still time. The shop stays open until everything is sold. As for Connie and Bill, they will continue to do fine estate sales. But make no mistake. We are witnessing the fading of art and culture from the Ranch’s downtown. Sadly, Sue Ann Scheck

Harvesting food awareness in Encinitas People talk about the need to teach future generations about the environment, conservation and food justice. But most schools are doing little more to educate kids to the growing needs of our planet than teaching from a textbook, if that. The Encinitas Union School District is a huge exception. Under EUSD, an endeavor called Farm Lab has become a national model for hands-on learning about bio-diversity, agriculture and environmental science. Farm Lab, situated on 10 acres of land on Quail Gardens Drive, is an indoor/outdoor classroom setting where students see first-hand how food is produced, gain knowledge about nutrition and healthy eating, and learn about the importance of recycling and conservation. Through project-based learning, each of the 5,400 students in the K-6 district spends time at Farm Lab to gain greater awareness of environmental science and crop production. Calling Farm Lab “a unique learning resource for all students,” EUSD Superintendent Tim Baird said he’s aware of no other school offering this kind of program. EUSD is the first school district in the nation to have a certified organic crop production farm supplying its school lunch programs at all nine of its schools. And Farm Lab has yielded a bountiful harvest. Presently, only one of the 10 available acres at Farm Lab is used for crop production, and that one acre so far this school year has produced over

4,000 pounds of watermelon, 900 pounds of pumpkins, 300 heads of lettuce every week, about 200 pounds of carrots per week, and 50 pounds of broccoli. The colorful watermelon varieties harvested included Heirloom Yellow Shipper, Red Seeded Navajo, Crimson, Sugar Baby and Ice Cream – “a delicious selection of yellow, pink and red watermelon,” said Mim Michelove, Farm Lab director. Because of last summer’s substantial harvest, the district was able to preserve some of the crop production for this year’s school lunches. “We are thrilled that over the summer we also grew several crates of herbs and over 5,000 pounds of tomatoes and peppers that were roasted and preserved as pizza and marinara sauce for this school year,” Michelove said. All this organic produce finds its way into the school lunch programs via EUSD’s central kitchen at El Camino Creek Elementary School. In addition, each of the nine schools has its own garden. At some of the schools, students are harvesting vegetables and preparing meals. A combination of enrichment teachers, staff and parent volunteers lead sessions in the gardens on composting, seed planting, crop production, pest control, harvesting, irrigation, water conservation, recycling and other agricultural lessons. As a result, Michelove said the children have become more savvy about nutrition and have improved their healthy eating choices.

Two bills that should be stopped Two very concerning bills are being considered in the State Senate this session, Senate Bill 18 and Senate Bill 54, and I’m asking for the public’s help to defeat them. SB 18, or the “Bill of Rights for Children and Youth in California,” is a bill that sounds like it was designed to help the children and youth of our state, but would insert the government into the sacred parent-child relationship by creating a standard for measuring “bad” parents – discarding the God-given parental right to raise and provide for their children. Why set a standard unless you plan to enforce it on every parent and child? It is evident in the draft of the bill, that it contemplates the state power to seize or restrict parents’ access to children that aren’t receiving what they determine to be the correct “research-based essential needs” and “special care” from their SEE LETTERS, A20 Sustainable farming The students don’t actually do the farming at Farm Lab. “They don’t really dig in the dirt,” said Baird, who has been superintendent of the Encinitas Union School District for the past eight years. “We initially tried to farm Farm Lab ourselves,” he said. “At times, we needed more workers and more equipment than we could provide. At other times, the farm work would slow down.” He said the district decided to contract with Coastal Roots Farm, an independent organization created by the philanthropic Leichtag Foundation. Leichtag and Coastal Roots are located across the street from Farm Lab. Coastal Roots Farm is a nonprofit community farm and education center that practices sustainable farming and provides free and reduced-price food for nearby communities. EUSD pays Coastal Roots about $40,000 annually to farm the one acre of land that’s currently producing the district’s food. To do the farming, Coastal Roots handles all the heavy machinery and necessary equipment, which students aren’t allowed to be near, and Coastal Roots is given a portion of the district’s land to farm for themselves. The cost of having the land professionally farmed, Baird said, is more than offset by the savings the district realizes from growing its own food. “I think it has been a good deal for all parties,” Baird said. The money to run Farm Lab comes from a number of sources: Proposition P which was passed by voters in 2010, grants, donations, and the district’s general fund. Baird said the initial cost to start the project, about $1.5 million, was high because there were no sewer lines or utilities to support the on-site portable classrooms. Two full-time staff members are paid by the district: Michelove and a teacher on special assignment, as well as a part-time custodian. SEE SUTTON, A21

FROM FEE, A1 on and to discriminate against residents and charge them more than non-residents to me is unfair and unconscionable and I doubt it would survive legal scrutiny.” Licosati also took issue with the fact that employees of the tennis club are allowed to bring guests for no guest fee at all, so they can bring non-residents as guests for free but are not allowed to bring residents. “I’m strongly against that policy,” Licosati said. Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club President Dave Van Den Berg said the guest fee policy has been in existence for a very long time. The reason that the club does not allow Covenant members to be guests is that it could damage the club’s finances and membership, he said. “If we put a provision in to allow them to just pay the guest fee $12, we would lose a significant amount of revenue to the club,” Van Den Berg said. Van den Berg said over half of the membership really doesn’t even use the tennis club, they support the club but many don’t come out to play 12 times a year. If the club changed the policy and all of those members wanted to switch and be guests that just pay $12 a session, it would put the club is

FROM LETTERS, A18 parents or guardians. Parent who homeschool, choose alternative vaccine schedules, allow their child the occasional sugary drink, or have other beliefs that run counter to the current political majority are all rightfully concerned that SB 18 would allow the government to step in and force them to parent against their beliefs. You were the one at their bedside, you are the one who will be fighting for your children their entire lives, and you should be in charge, not the government. SB 54 is the next step in making California a “sanctuary state” that protects deportable felons from federal immigration authorities. The bill prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from giving any information to federal immigration authorities regarding serious felons in their jails and prisons, making it harder if not impossible for the federal authorities to find these criminals in order to deport them. The result is that these felons return to our communities when their sentence is up, rather than being deported. These are not “Dreamers” – undocumented immigrants brought her as young children who’ve committed no other crimes. These are felons convicted of crimes such as: assault with a

FROM BOOK, A5 “They were most visible ones given the task to clean this place up,” Clavin said. One of the toughest tasks they faced, Clavin said, was protecting prisoners from mobs that wanted to string them up for their crimes. In one instance, he said, Earp had to brandish a shotgun to keep an angry group of riders at bay and escort the prisoner to relative safety in the jail. “That was one of the things that showed they really meant it, they chose to be good guys over being bad guys,” he said.

He said golf clubs are in decline across the country and many have added health clubs In 2014, the Association members approved a $250,000 feasibility study on a Covenant Club at the golf and tennis club campus. Cost estimates came in higher than expected at $15.8 million and the plan stalled and never went to a community-wide vote as planned. “Despite the financial problems, discriminating against residents is not the answer to this,” Licosati said. “Charging residents five times as much as non-residents is unjustifiable. I don’t see how this board could sanction that.” Van Den Berg said he believes that the club is an asset for the community and still quite the deal when compared to clubs in the area — others charge dues of anywhere from $300 to $700 a month and Rancho Santa Fe’s is $100 a month (after a $3,750 initiation fee). “That is a tremendous benefit to the people that live in the Covenant,” Van Den Berg said. “If we can’t attract people at $100 a month, compared to $500 and $700, I don’t know what else we can do.” deadly weapon, date rape, and burglary.

To solve climate change, the passengers must now fly the plane When it comes to climate change, most Americans are like passengers on a jetliner wanting to arrive safely at their destination but thinking there’s no need to be involved in flying the plane.

In addition to the inherent dangers of being a lawman, Earp and Masterson also had to put up with low pay and no benefits. The myth that they shot their way out of tough situations was overstated - one steady source of income was the $2.50 bonus they received for each successful arrest. The lawmen were not paid if the suspect ended up dead. “One thing that I point out in the book, was there were very few times that Wyatt and Bat resorted to gunplay to arrest someone,” Clavin said. “If you killed them you didn’t get paid.” Both men went on to live long

average. · 2016 set another record high for average global temperature, and 16 of the 17 hottest years on record have occurred in this century. · Floods, like those that struck Louisiana and North Carolina last year, are happening as a result of unprecedented downpours. All this turbulence is prompting passengers to rise from their seats to check with the pilot. Upon opening the cockpit door, however, they are shocked to see no one at the controls. So, how do we avoid crashing into a mountainside? It’s time for the passengers to start flying the plane. This entails setting aside cynicism about our government and engaging with our representatives in Congress. It requires us to seek common ground between Republicans and Democrats. The concern we hear most is that addressing climate change will impact the economy and jobs. We can alleviate those fears and find that common ground with a market-based solution that holds polluters accountable for damage to our air, water and climate. A steadily-rising fee on carbon, with all revenue returned to households, would reduce greenhouse gas emissions while growing the economy.

A study from Regional Economic Models, Inc., considered a policy whereby a fee on the carbon dioxide content of fuels would increase $10 per ton each year. The REMI study found that emissions would drop more than 50 percent in 20 years. The economy would add 2.8 million jobs, boosted by recycling of revenue back to households. But can Democrats and Republicans in Congress work together on climate change? Hopeful signs emerged in 2016 with the creation of the bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus, which has equal membership from both sides of the aisle. The caucus creates a safe space for Republicans and Democrats to have an honest dialogue about ways to reduce the risks we face in a warming world. By making our voices heard, we can grow the ranks of the Climate Solutions Caucus and reach the critical mass to pass bipartisan legislation. None of this can happen, however, unless we take control and put the plane back on course. As astronaut Rusty Schweickart said, “We aren’t passengers on spaceship Earth, we’re the crew. We aren’t residents on this planet, we’re citizens. The difference in both cases is responsibility.” Mark Reynolds Mark Reynolds is executive director of Citizens’ Climate Lobby

lives. Earp later settled in California. He lived for a time in San Diego, then settled in Los Angeles, where he died in 1929. Masterson went the other direction, to New York City, where he worked for many years as a newspaper reporter. One story in the book concerns the legend, which turned out to be false, that Masterson had killed 22 people. When drinking in New York’s saloons, he brandished a Colt .45 with 22 notches carved into it. When a drinking buddy insisted on buying the weapon as a keepsake, said Clavin, Masterson would reluctantly

agree. The next day, he would go to a pawnshop, purchase another Colt and mark it with 22 notches. “He loved to go to sporting events and saloons and that helped pay for his lifestyle,” Clavin said. In reality, Clavin said, Masterson had actually killed only two men in two separate incidents. One of them had shot and killed his older brother. Clavin said he took care not to repeat the tall tales that surrounded Earp and Masterson, but instead sought to authenticate information through primary sources, such as news

accounts from the day. “If you look carefully with the best of intentions you start to see what is authentic and what you should avoid,” he said. Clavin, a former journalist and a resident of Sag Harbor on New York’s Long Island, said he worked on the book for three years. The book tells the tale of two rough-and-tumble young men who took on the difficult task of trying to make the frontier town of Dodge City a safer place. “That’s what I focused on, these two close friends who had each other’s back,” Clavin said.

Last year she said the district received nearly $170,000 in grants, donations and in-kind donations of materials and services. “We are currently in the running for other large grants, and are just about to roll out a community fundraising campaign,” she said. Living classroom A portion of the 10-acre land is used for classes and instruction, making what Michelove calls a living classroom. During my visit last month, energetic third-graders from Olivenhain Pioneer Elementary School spent the morning at nearby San Diego Botanic Garden studying biodiversity. Then, after lunch and playtime at Farm Lab, the children regrouped in onsite classrooms to design an insect that would survive in the two diverse ecosystems they had just explored at the Botanic Garden. Examples of diverse ecosystems might be a rainforest and the desert. This, said Baird, is a perfect example of project-based learning. In another example, Michelove described how

first-grade students researched and designed devices to control pests without chemicals, using sound, light and motion. The outdoor education program, she said, presents meaningful ways for kids to focus on the environment and nutrition. When I asked how all this fits into an impacted curriculum day, Baird agreed it’s not simple but it all ties into math and science standards. He said this type of real-world, experiential learning that focuses on design and research integrates science, math, writing and oral presentation. The district ensures that these lessons conform with state standards and actually enhance educational value through an infused curriculum. Take, for example, the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. The SWPPP, Baird said, is a program “developed in our district, and now other school districts are looking to start similar programs of their own.” The program runs every year at all nine schools for fifth- and sixth-graders, and “it is very popular with our students,” he said. He said students become the district’s SWPPP consultants. “Working with adult mentors, they do everything that a paid consultant would do,” Baird explained. “They

examine our storm water runoff. They review our drains, pollutants, and the pathway of water to the ocean. They work with scientists to test water samples. “Finally, they write up a plan to improve the storm water drainage and submit it to our school board and the county board of supervisors. In the process, they learn a lot about math, science, technical writing, planning, and public speaking.” He said EUSD recently received a large state grant for storm water pollution prevention, “so these students are now meeting with potential contractors, reviewing bidding documents, and developing plans for large scale environmental building solutions.” It’s all about integrated learning, with activities and assignments that focus on nutrition, conservation, ecology, math, earth science, environmental science and history. Teaching young students about the value of environmental stewardship and environmental wellness is an incalculable bonus. End of Part One.

Q&A

NISHA BUNKE, MD, FACPh, RPhS VENOUS DISEASE SPECIALIST

Q: Can you tell us about La Jolla Vein Care? A: La Jolla Vein Care was established in 2010 and specializes in treating patients with

vein conditions. The facility is only one of a few dedicated vein treatment centers in San Diego and Southern California with board-certified physicians and nine staff members trained in the diagnosis and treatment of vein disorders. We have successfully treated thousands of patients without surgery. Dr. Nisha Bunke, the medical director of La Jolla Vein Care, was the first physician in the United States to complete fellowship training in Venous and Lymphatic Medicine 10 years ago. Since we are the region’s most comprehensive vein center, our registered vascular sonographers conveniently perform venous ultrasound imaging in the office.

Q: What technology and treatments are offered at the facility? A: We specialize in non-surgical vein removal and offer a variety of different treatments

such as Radiofrequency Ablation, Clarivein, Phlebectomy, Sclerotherapy and Foam Sclerotherapy. All venous imaging and procedures are done in the office, so it’s very convenient for our patients. The newest treatment we are offering is called CryoSclerotherapy.

Q: What is Cryo-Sclerotherapy? A: We are the only vein center in San Diego to offer Cryo-Sclerotherapy. The treatment is sclerotherapy (either liquid or foam) in combination with a Cryo device. What this does is cool the surface of the skin before, during, and after injections. It is intended to minimize pain during injections by providing temporary anesthetic relief.

Q: What types of vein disorders do you treat? A: There is a wide spectrum of vein disorders, ranging from simple spider veins to

venous leg ulcers. Both women and men can develop vein conditions at any age, and even the healthiest people can be affected. For some, they are a cosmetic issue while for others, they may represent a serious medical condition. At La Jolla Vein Care, we feel that regardless of the patient’s concern, vein conditions deserve specialized care.

Q: For those individuals considering treatment, what information can you share? A: Over the past decade, there have been advances in the treatment of vein conditions,

which have improved the safety, efficacy, comfort and success of therapy. Newer procedures have replaced old-fashioned vein stripping surgery. We perform minimally invasive vein treatments in the office without anesthesia, and our patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately. The average procedure time is about 60 minutes. There are several different treatment options depending on the type of veins, the extent of the disease, your ultrasound findings and other factors. We encourage perspective patients to come in for a consultation and have our practitioners determine what treatment is best. Health insurance will often cover medically necessary vein treatments as well as specialist consultations and diagnostic ultrasound imaging. Our staff prides itself on taking great care of our patients. We have been voted Best of La Jolla three years in a row!

Roy Perkins recently shared his inspirational story at The Bishop’s School.

Paralympian swimmer Roy Perkins speaks at The Bishop’s School Bishop’s alumnus Roy Perkins ’08, a successful two-time Paralympian swimmer, current student at Stanford University and recent recipient of the Challenged Athlete of the Year Award, spoke at The Bishop’s School Feb. 27 as an Endowed Leadership Lecture Series speaker. Perkins’ talk kicked off Acceptance Week, a week of activities focused on acceptance and kindness, organized by Peer Support in conjunction with the school’s affinity groups. He spoke about his time at Bishop’s, his supportive family and friends, overcoming life’s obstacles and swimming in

the Paralympics. Being born without hands or feet has never stopped Perkins from doing the things he loves. He learned to swim at age 12 and trained until he reached the top. He received a gold and a bronze medal at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, two silver and two bronze medals at the 2012 Paralympics in London, and one gold and one silver medal at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. To honor Perkins’ determination, Head of School Aimeclaire Roche presented him with another gold medal for his impressive collection - The Bishop’s Medal.

Former La Jollan is stepping out in ‘Kinky Boots’

JOAN MARCUS

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Timothy Ware as Lulu in ‘Kinky Boots,’ coming to Civic Theatre March 9-12.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT “Kinky Boots,” first a hit British movie and then a hit Broadway musical, is making a return visit to San Diego as part of its long-running national tour. Based on the 2005 film, which was inspired by a true story, “Kinky Boots” is about a man who inherits a failing shoe factory and ends up forming an unlikely partnership with a flamboyant drag queen to produce a wildly successful line of high-heeled boots — “fetish footwear” — for drag artists. With a book by two-time Tony-winning writer Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by 1980s pop icon Cyndi Lauper, the show opened on Broadway in 2013, was hailed for its “heart and soul,” and took home six Tonys, including Best Musical and Best Score, adding a 2016 Olivier Award for Best New Musical after its London opening. Broadway San Diego originally brought “Kinky Boots” here in 2014, at the start of the national tour. This time, one of the cast members is a young woman who got her start in La Jolla. Meryn Beckett, now 27, said she was born in New York, and moved to La Jolla when she was 8 years old. Soon after being enrolled in Torrey Pines Elementary, she went to see a performance at San Diego Junior Theatre in Balboa Park with her father, who was also an actor. “It was ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,’ and I remember turning to my father and saying: ‘I have to

do this!’ ’’ she said in a recent interview. “They were having auditions for ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and I was heartbroken when I didn’t get a part, but then I tried out for ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ and I made it, and ended up doing tons of shows with them over the next 11 years. And they’ll be doing that same show, my first, at the exact same time I’m here with ‘Kinky Boots’ on my first national tour! So I really feel that

this is full circle for me.” Besides Junior Theatre, and several musicals with the J*Company at La Jolla’s Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, Beckett credits her teachers with encouraging her to continue her studies at Boston Conservatory Theater. Now based in New York, she is currently Assistant Dance Captain and Swing in the touring “Kinky Boots.” “The Swing is a show’s super-hero,” she explained. “If anyone gets sick, I go on. I’ve played all my roles multiple times. It’s a lot of work, but it’s taught me so much, and nothing is ever routine. Every time I’m onstage, it’s different, and I get to experience the show from a different point of view.” In Spokane, the tour’s last stop before San Diego, Timothy Ware took over the lead role of drag queen Lola, while the previous Lola, J. Harrison Ghee, moved on to Broadway. The original Lola standby on Broadway, Ware will be in Lola’s boots at San Diego Civic Theater. “We were the third city to have ‘Kinky Boots’ when it began its tour,” said Christann Heideman, associate marketing director of Broadway/San Diego. “Our audiences were definitely fans of the production, so we’re excited to be bringing it back.” ■ IF YOU GO: Meryn Beckett is scheduled to be onstage 8 p.m. Friday, March 10. “Kinky Boots,” plays matinee and evening performances, March 9-12, at San Diego Civic Theatre, 3rd and B St., downtown San Diego.

BRITTANY WOOLSEY

Admittedly, the view from the top is grand.

Avery-Claire Nugent and Jonas McMullen rehearse a scene from “Footloose,” which will be performed at Canyon Crest Academy later this month.

CCA students ‘cut loose’ in Footloose BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Theater students at Canyon Crest Academy are getting ready to trade sneakers for cowboy boots and modern songs for 1980s classics in their upcoming performance of Footloose. The musical — modeled after the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon — follows the story of Ren, a newcomer to a highly religious, strict town, who wants to bring some fun into the area. However, a stern city council and reverend — who is the father of Ren’s love interest Ariel — make things difficult. Jeannine Marquie, theater director at CCA in Carmel Valley, said she thought Footloose — which is being performed on select days from March 17 to April 1 — would be a fun throwback to the 1980s. “Every other year, I look for a big show we can do that a lot of students can be involved in,” she said, adding the school is also simultaneously putting on the play She Kills Monsters, which takes place in the 1990s. While the parents of the students were excited about Footloose — which features classic ’80s songs like the iconic title track and Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” — Marquie said it took some time to get the kids pumped for the show, which was announced last summer and held auditions in December. Since then, the cast has been rehearsing four days a week for three hours a day. Eventually, the teenagers found they were connected to the piece despite the generation gap because of their desires to be independent. “I feel like this show is more relatable than other things we have done in the past,” said Jonas McMullen, a 17-year-old junior who is playing Ren. “It’s so fun to do shows like Evita, but you can just really connect with Footloose

on a deeper level. I feel like we find the parts of these characters that we see in ourselves, and that just makes it even easier.” He said stepping into the shoes of Bacon — in a sense — is nerve-wracking, but he’s been watching the original film on repeat to study the character. Phillip Magin, an 18-year-old senior who is playing Rev. Shaw Moore, said he has found it challenging to embody his strict adult character since he feels more toward the younger players. As a senior applying to colleges, he said he can relate to the younger characters wanting to break free from the rules. “The process of stepping into the shoes of an older character and trying to inhabit the life of a preacher who has a wife and daughter was a surreal experience,” said Magin, who had never participated in a musical before Footloose. “I can kind of see it’s tough to relate to teenagers when you’re not a teenager and you’re so removed from it. It’s like I want to be rooting for Ren, but I can’t.” The show also features the talents of students other than those from the theater program. Marquie said students from the dance and singing disciplines also have numbers in the show, and one student was even asked to write an original song for the score. Allie James, the 15-year-old freshman who wrote a ballad for the show, said this was her first time writing a song for a musical. “It was really hard writing it,” she said, adding she is also performing the song in the play. “It was a totally different genre for me. When I was asked to write it, I was so excited. I jumped right on it.” SEE FOOTLOOSE, B6

It’s time to plan for tomorrow - today BY STEWART J. WEISSMAN,

Wealth Preservation, LLC

Many people don’t understand extended care coverage or why they may need long-term care in their lifetime. Most men believe long-term care cannot possibly happen to them and many spouses believe they Stewart J. will be able to simply remain Weissman in their homes, should care be required for their lifetimes. While this may or may not be accurate, here is what is true. Long-term care is a serious problem today, that is getting only worst as people all live longer life expectancies. Some people believe they have coverage under medicare and or medical, not exactly true. Many people know what a serious issue this may be. Plus many people have or are experiencing their parents or loved ones receiving some type of care in their home or a facility. They may even be helping to pay the costs.

March 10 – 12

No one wants to spend their money on something that might happen in 10-15 years from now or possibly longer, especially when you believe this won’t happen to you. Many people believe they have sufficient capital to cover these unexpected expenses and/or someone will take care of them, which is the real problem. Extended care is the assistance needed when someone has a serious impairment, physical or cognitive. The problem is the consequences, the emotional and physical damage to the family is very real and potentially irreversible. Normally, providing care to a chronically ill person takes its toll on the caretaker who can become chronically ill and resentful. Most children would put aside their life to help care for the parent. Additionally, providing care to a parent is rarely a shared responsibility by any family member, much less asking one child to take on that responsibility. Paying for extended care basically is a reallocation of resources from cash flow and in many situations, those funds are already

Here are undeniable facts to consider. • 70% of people aged 65 or more stand a chance of needing long-term care somewhere along the way. • 40% of people currently receiving long-term care are adults aged 18-64 years old. • 50% of the entire population will require long-term care sometime over their course of their lives.

Reality: About 70% of seniors will eventually need some form of long-term care. Myth: Savers can “self-insure” when they are older. Reality: The national annual median cost of care for private room nursing home care is $77,745 a year. But costs can vary widely by area and can run as high as $202,210 a year. Myth: Medicare or Medicaid will cover my long-term care expenses. Reality: Medicare typically only covers post-hospital, short-term rehabilitative care and short nursing home visits.

Get to Know a Majungasaurus

theNAT presents a tribute to ‘Ultimate Dinosaurs’ BY LINDA HUTCHISON hether looming over us in a museum — or flying or galloping along in a movie — dinosaurs have been frightening and fascinating us ever since their bones were first discovered. From the Greek, dinos saurus, the word means “terrifying lizard.” Where did they live? When and why did they die out? While scientists can now answer many questions about dinosaurs, they are still uncovering whole new varieties of these ancient reptiles. Replicas of 16 of these “Ultimate Dinosaurs” are now on display at the Natural History Museum (theNAT) in Balboa Park. All are from countries in the Earth’s Southern Hemisphere, including South America, Africa, India and Australia. They evolved separately from the more familiar dinosaurs in the Northern Hemisphere, when the giant land masses broke apart approximately 250 to 65 million years ago, carrying the ancient creatures into the beginning of continents we know today. “Thirty years ago, many of these were unknown to science,” explained Tom Demere, curator of

Majungasaurus, Rapetosaurus paleontology at theNAT. “They were still in the ground, waiting to be discovered.” Up until recently, he continued, paleontologists made discoveries in the northern countries, but now international and Argentinian teams are making significant discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere. “This dinosaur exhibit is unlike

any seen before,” added Judy Gradwohl, president and CEO of theNAT. “Ultimate Dinosaurs features species virtually unknown to North Americans. They are interesting and different looking from when we were kids.” Beth Redmond-Jones, senior director of public programs, agrees. “These are dinosaurs that

people didn’t know about before, they are not a part of pop culture.” From South America, they include Eoraptor, one of the earliest and smallest dinosaurs (approximately three feet, 25 pounds), Velociraptor, a distant relative of modern-day birds that grew to 16 feet and had plumage,

and Giganotosaurus, one of the largest land predators (43 feet long, 13,200 pounds). From Africa, they include Suchomimus, with a long snout like a crocodile; Ouranosaurus, a plant eater with a spiny sail along its back; Majungasaurus, a meat eater thought to be cannibal; and Rapetosaurus, a long-necked sauropod from Madagascar. “These dinosaurs add more numbers and variety to the total family tree, which is now bushy,” said Demere. In addition to the 16 skeleton castings, the exhibit includes augmented reality (AR) segments bringing the dinosaurs to life and videos showing the drifting apart of the Earth’s original land masses that carried the dinosaurs to different continents. “The exhibit ties together plate tectonics, how land masses moved and how dinosaurs evolved with a lot of moving maps showing giant continents and shrinking oceans, a great opportunity to learn,” said Demere. Redmond-Jones pointed out, “The real specialness is seeing the whole thing in context and size. The large one (Giganotosaurus) is SEE DINOSAURS, B20

People invited to guess Sam the Tortoise’s weight

COURTESY

Sam the Tortoise is 52 years old and lives at the San Diego Botanic Garden.

Residents of San Diego, Orange and Riverside Counties are invited to guess the Botanic Garden’s tortoise’s weight for a chance to win a prize package to the Garden through March 22. The prize package includes an annual family membership, a signed copy of Sam the Tortoise’s story “Too Big to Lose” and a private meeting for up to 10 people with Sam, according to a news release from the San Diego Botanic Garden. Those interested in participating can email

guesssamsweight@sdb garden.org with their guesses. If visitors want an up-close-and-personal view of Sam before submitting their guess, they can see Sam at the Garden’s Spring Planting Jubilee on March 18 and March 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day at the San Diego Botanic Garden, 230 Quail Gardens Drive. Sam, who is 52 years old, will be weighed on a special scale loaned by the San Diego Zoo. Julian Duval, San Diego Botanic Garden’s President and CEO, said it is important to note

Sam’s weight. “While Galapagos Tortoises can live well over 100 years, like all animals including humans, their health will have an impact on their longevity,” he said in a statement. “Weight, as we all know, is an important reflection of nutritional health and at this time it looks like Sam should lose a few pounds. That’s why we have Sam on a paleo diet and plan to monitor his weight in the future.” For more information about Sam, visit sdbgarden.org/sam.htm.

Acclaimed soul-pop group Lake Street Dive headed to the Belly Up BY ROB LEDONNE Thirteen years ago next month, the throwback soul group Lake Street Dive formed in their hometown of Boston, Mass. For the past decade, the band has been on a steady rise that has taken their act nationwide and has earned them a cult fan base, numerous accolades and a laundry list of viral singles. “We formed when I was 18,” explains lead vocalist Rachael Price. “It seems like a lifetime ago, but it also doesn’t feel that long. It’s one of those interesting things because it’s always new and changing.” Price and her bandmates are currently on a nationwide tour across the United States, including a gig in Solana Beach at the Belly Up on Sunday, March 19 at 8 p.m. It’s all in support of their most recent album Side Pony. Released last year, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard Rock, Alternative, and Folk charts. However, Lake Street Dive hasn’t always enjoyed mainstream success. “There’s been a few specific moments in our career that have been milestones,” notes Price. In their early days, the band performed at bars and clubs around the nation without much of a following. That all changed when they began posting videos online, one of which went viral. “We posted a cover of (The Jackson 5’s) ‘I Want You Back’ that took off,” she

It felt huge to us to all of the sudden walk into a place full of people who were fans of our music. Before then, we’d perform for people who didn’t know who we were or didn’t know the songs. We had to go in and win the audience over, as SEE BELLY UP, B23

CCA Envision Theatre Arts presents ‘She Kills Monsters’ CCA Envision Theatre Arts presents “She Kills Monsters” March 16, 18, 31 at 7 p.m., March 23 at 4:30 p.m., and March 25 at 2 p.m.at CCA’s Blackbox Theatre. Written by Qui Nguyen. Directed by Jeannine Marquie. She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When

Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly’s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and ’90s pop culture, acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us

all. “The dungeon master, that eight-sided-dice-wielding arbiter in any Dungeons & Dragons game, serves as a potent metaphor in ‘She Kills Monsters,’ Qui Nguyen’s deceptively breezy and rather ingenious comedy.” -- New York Times (2011 Premiere).

Pay Tribute to a Loved One

OBITUARIES

Your loved one spent a lifetime making an impact in the community.

Returning to the North Coast Repertory stage March 20-21 at 7:30 p.m. is Robert Dubac’s Off-Broadway solo hit “The Book of Moron.” This comedy show has been described as one of the most “hilarious,” “intelligent” and “scorching” satirical attacks on idiocracy since Mark Twain. (And “idiocracy” isn’t even a word. How dumb is that?) Combining theatre with stand-up Dubac buckles us up for a fast-paced joy ride over the pot-holed highways of cultural hypocrisy. Riding shotgun with intelligence and absurdity he crashes head first into the barriers of sex, race, religion, politics and the media. And he’s not alone. With mesmerizing ease, he portrays multiple characters who all take turns beating the hornet’s nest of hype and spin with the big stick of knowledge. It’s comedy on steroids. Think your funny bone can handle it? If you like your satire served up with a clever intelligent edge; if you want to hear a voice that speaks as though it originated from inside of your own frustrated head; if you are tired of adolescent

My wife bought me my dream F150 Lariat FX4 last Wednesday and the experience was great! The entire sales team was fantastic to work with—they were helpful and not pushy. Not only are their locations convenient, but they have the mentality I appreciate for vehicle shopping - low pressure, professional, and knowledgeable on the product. I will refer all of my friends to Mossy.

La Jolla welcomes its newest art gallery, the La Jolla Louvre, March 10 featuring Southern Californian, renown artist Josh Serafin. All are welcome to attend the March 10 Grand Opening reception from 6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. at the La Jolla Louvre art gallery. There will be live music, drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Serafin has been a staple in the beach, surf and ocean art scene since 1999, when he created a name for himself with his sunset resolution photographic diary of a year of sunsets. Since then, he has become a leader in the beach culture art movement. Serafin evokes a pure feeling of joy and peace through his paintings of the natural beauty of the coastline, ocean depths and everything the two have to offer. Serafin’s paintings began with a depiction of “surf culture.” He is on the forefront of bringing back the ancient form of art known as “reverse painting.” Reverse painting is the process of applying paint on the back of a sheet of glass.

Glide by artist Josh Serafin. Serafin has taken it to another level. He applies several thin layers of oil paint on tempered glass over weeks to months to finish one original. The La Jolla Louvre is owned and operated by Serafins longtime friend and fellow artist, Shanna Tweedy. Specializing in custom surfboard art, she is able to take any board and transform it into a

Father Joe’s Villages’ fourth annual Taste of the Village to be held March 16 Last year, three residents at Father Joe’s Villages turned to the nonprofit’s Freddy Evarkiou Culinary Arts Program for job training on their journey toward self sufficiency. Now that those students have graduated from the program and moved on to culinary careers, the next class is gearing up to cater Father Joe’s Villages’ fourth annual Taste of the Village. Father Joe’s Villages will give behind-the-scenes tours and treat guests to an evening of fine dining at the event on Thursday, March 16. Students from the Freddie Evarkiou Culinary Arts Program will prepare French country cuisine and serve partygoers atop Father Joe’s Villages’ building at 16th and Commercial streets. “The food and views at Taste of the Village are incredible, but our purpose is much greater,” says Deacon Jim Vargas, president and CEO of Father Joe’s Villages. “There are thousands of men, women and children on our streets - we see potential in each and every one. Through events like this, we can help more people in our community achieve

self-sufficiency.” At this year’s event, attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to hear first-hand success stories from people who found their path out of homelessness through Father Joe’s Villages’ services. Staff and board members will also mingle with guests and share stories over gourmet food and drinks. The Freddie Evarkiou Culinary Arts Program began in 2002 to prepare people who are homeless for careers as chefs and culinary professionals. Students complete classroom and practical trainings and intern at local restaurants. They also receive help in preparing for interviews and job searching. All proceeds from Taste of the Village, sponsored by Banner Bank, will benefit Father Joe’s Villages work toward ending homelessness in our region, one life at a time. Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased online. For more information about Father Joe’s Villages, visit neighbor.org.

Visit northcoastrep.org

This year’s Purim festivities in Rancho Santa Fe will take “center ring” as participants will enjoy a sensational Circus show while masquerading in true Purim style. “The Great Purim Circus” is Chabad Jewish Center of RSF’s creative twist to this year’s community celebration of Purim, the holiday commemorating the Jewish people’s salvation in Persia of old. The festivities will be held at Cielo Village on Sunday, March 12, from 2-4 p.m. featuring the Fern Street Circus, aerialists, jugglers, tight rope walkers and more. Billed as the most joyous date on the Jewish calendar, the day-long holiday commemorates the nullification in 356 B.C.E. of a Persian decree calling

for the extermination of the Jewish people throughout the Persian Empire as told in the biblical Book of Esther. Chabad’s original spin on this age-old holiday has helped bring the spirit of Purim to RSF year after year. “The Great Purim Circus will combine ancient traditional celebration with an exciting and modern twist,” said Devorah Raskin. “At Chabad Jewish Center of RSF, we strive to provide interesting and innovative programs that bring the joy of Judiasm to life for the RSF and surrounding communities.” The event is a community-wide program, and all are welcome to join, regardless of Jewish affiliation or background. Participants will enjoy hamatash

$22,500 in scholarships. The contest is open to students under the age of 18 as of Oct. 1, 2016. “As they prepare for their future, many of our local students need experience expressing their thoughts and opinions to an audience,” Club President Gary Wilson said. “The Oratorical Contest challenges them to do just that and also offers an opportunity for scholarships. In this way, our club hopes to bring out the best in each of them and help them achieve their goals for the future.” The deadline to submit applications and speeches is Friday, March 17.

FROM PLANNING, B4 qualify for Medicaid, you must spend your assets until you reach your state’s poverty level. Myth: Long-term care insurance is too expensive. Reality: Not today, new innovative products available make this very affordable, plus you can utilize an existing asset, typically money you currently have in CD’s, savings, annuities, IRA’s or retirement funds as a guaranteed single premium, allowing you to avoid ongoing, non-guaranteed annual premiums usually required by other forms of long-term care insurance. At Wealth Preservation, LLC, we offer new linked benefit products, covering long-term care, for all services in home and/or in a facility, provides a death benefit to each of you if LTC is not required and you can have your money back in the future if you don’t need it or want the policy any longer, for whatever your reason. The same monthly benefits are available to you both as it is a joint policy. Here is the advantages of this product and why it is different than most others: 1) Premiums are guaranteed. 2) The amount of death/long-term care benefits are guaranteed. 3) The money earns interest with a minimum guaranteed interest rate. 4) You both have lifetime coverage for LTC expenses at a guaranteed premium. The best thing about the product? It is not “a use it or lose type of

policy.” If you ever change your mind, for whatever the reason — your monies are returned, plus a small amount of interest, less any distributions taken. There are numerous ways to fund this policy, as mentioned, it is a joint policy, same benefits for either, you can make a single premium payment, or pay for it over 10 or 20 years, it is your choice. I understand the value of extended care coverage. My 93-year-old mother is completely bedridden, my older brother is her caretaker 24/7. His life is very difficult today, in fact, he has no life of his own anymore and the dynamics between my siblings and I have taken their toll. So, I can share with you firsthand what can happen if you are not prepared. I told my parents over and over to do the planning for this reason, they ignored me and the result is what has happened to my brother and our family. Advances in medicine and medicare make it more likely that people will live longer with an illness, putting that extra stress on our families. Extended care is a real problem today and it is not getting better, but worse for many of us. – Stewart J.
