‘You matter to us. We are here to teach you’ SDUHSD board passes resolution declaring all schools a ‘safe place’
RSF resident launches company to provide personalized cancer care. A4
BY KAREN BILLING Speaking at the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board meeting March 9, San Dieguito High School Academy teacher Rob Ross said that a few weeks ago he noticed that one of his students seemed stressed in class. When he asked if she was OK, she burst into tears. The student told him she couldn’t concentrate in
school because of the fear and anxiety she was facing — her parents are undocumented immigrants and they had been discussing plans if they should suddenly “disappear” due to deportation. Ross said that in his work with Latino leadership and supports groups, more students have reported feeling widespread fear to the point of terror,
families who have been here for decades are wondering if they are still welcome. He added that students like the girl in his class, who is taking AP classes, playing varsity sports and aims to be the first in her family to go to college, should feel safe and supported as they reach for their dreams. “I believe times like these are the moments where we should not silence

BY KAREN BILLING As the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board was set to approve a number of contract coaches for school athletic teams at its March 9 meeting, some parents wanted assurances that all coaches are being properly vetted. Parent Wendy Gumb said she believed that in the case of some coaches at Torrey Pines High School, the correct hiring process was not followed. Gumb said it’s important that all coach positions are posted as per board policy and that people are allowed to apply and positions are not just given to “people that are favorites of the foundation or coaches or certain parents.” Torrie Norton, SDUHSD associate superintendent of human resources, said notices were posted for all of the coaching positions on the list and interviews were conducted. Norton said coaches are vetted by human resources and candidates must go through CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and first aid training, drug screening and finger printing. Additionally, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) requires that coaches complete sudden cardiac arrest training, a concussion training and a six-hour long coach’s training course. At that point, Norton said the school sites are SEE COACHES, A24
SDUHSD looking to close $9.2 million deficit by June BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board approved its second interim budget for the 2016-17 school year at its March 9 meeting, a projected income of $131,982,190 and projected expenditures at $141,226,363. Over the next few months, the board will look at ways to chip away at a deficit of $9.2 million, focusing on savings found away from the classroom.
Chief Financial Officer Delores Perley said very little has changed since the first interim budget approved in December — revenue has increased by $2 million and expenditures are up by $1.5 million. The district is projecting to maintain an 11.6 percent reserve of $16 million but multi-year deficit spending will continue to erode the reserves. Reducing the deficit and restoring the reserves remains a priority, Perley said. As the district begins to

RSF resident launches company to provide personalized cancer care BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Blaise Barrelet recently launched CureMatch, a new company he believes could be the future of cancer treatment. CureMatch is a decision support platform designed to offer personalized medicine in cancer care. Operating on the belief that cancer is a personal disease that shouldn’t be treated with a one-size fits all treatments and procedures, the software technology enables matched combination therapies that are unique for individual patients based on the molecular profile of the patient’s tumor. “Matched combination has been shown to have higher response and survival rates than traditional chemotherapy or targeted mono-therapies,” Barrelet said. Barrelet, a native of France, has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for 18 years. A self-described “tech guy” and “serial entrepreneur,” he has started several successful businesses, including WebSide Story in 1996, one of the first internet businesses in San Diego. The company was also one of the first to provide web analytics for websites and he ended up selling it to Adobe Software in 2004 in a billion-dollar deal.
Barrelet then retired a “little bit” but didn’t really like being sidelined so decided to get back in the game helping other start-up businesses. He founded Analytics Ventures about five years ago, a venture-formation fund that works with scientists to create new data-enabled technology and software businesses. Barrelet’s latest venture, driven by a desire to help cancer patients, was a result of his own experience. Four years ago, while his wife was pregnant with their fourth child, he received the shocking diagnosis of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). “The doctor told me ‘There’s good news and bad news. The good news is: it takes time to kill you. The bad news is: there is no cure,’” Barrelet said. “At first I felt really numb, I didn’t understand, I had it all, I had fun building companies and I had made lots of money. My next reaction to cancer was anger: ‘Why me?’ The third reaction was: ‘I’m going to beat this.’” He was fortunate to be living in San Diego, where the top CLL specialists in the world work at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Barrelet wasn’t sure that chemo was the best course of action for him so he started the process of learning all he could
about targeted-therapy drugs, drug combination therapy and the use of DNA sequencing. The more he learned about the “amazing” and “phenomenal” developments in the cancer treatment field, and the more his health benefited from the alternative to chemotherapy, the more he was determined to start a company that would help others. CureMatch uses technology originally created and licensed by a multi-disciplinary team at Moores Cancer Center and the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Using the latest molecular profiling tools, such as next-generation sequencing, CureMatch identifies the unique nature of the patients’ tumor and helps personalize the most advanced treatment options, including targeted therapy and immunotherapy. With combination therapy, it’s possible to use combinations of drugs to target multiple cancer mutations at the same time. Barrelet said CureMatch is the result of his two incredibly smart co-founders: Igor Tsigelny and Razelle Kurzrock. Tsigelny, a research professor at San Diego SuperComputer Center and Moores Cancer Center, is world-renowned
Blaise Barrelet
OTTO
expert in structural biology, molecular modeling, bioinformatics and structure-based drug design. Kurzrock is a pioneer in pathology and combination therapy who serves as the director of the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy and Clinical Trials Office and is senior deputy director for clinical science at Moores Cancer Center. The way a non-medical person like Barrelet likes to explain what they do is by using the analogy of boats floating on water — cancer is the water that comes and punches holes in the boat. Every hole is a genetic aberration. Barrelet compares chemo to using a bucket to bail water out of the boat as it is sinking and mono-target therapy can plug the biggest hole in the boat but water can still find a way in. Cancer treatment has changed and there are now 300 FDA-approved cancer drugs designed to go after the
JUST LISTED!
variety of different holes in a boat. “What we’re doing at CureMatch with matched combination therapy is quite complex —effectively plugging every hole in the boat. Of the 300 cancer drugs there are 4.5 million possibilities to combine drugs. It’s so complex because there’s so much data,” Barrelet said. “We take the data and make insight out of it and figure out the best drugs for each patient.” CureMatch produces the top five to 10 combinations for each patient and scores them with a unique scoring system to rank treatment options to optimize patient care. The patient then goes to their oncologist with actionable knowledge — it is not a substitute for the physician’s decision, but provides the physician with a score for any options they have in mind and provides new combinations of drugs. With cancer care, Barrelet said he hopes to see something similar to what happened with HIV, which is now primarily treated by combination therapy due to patient advocacy. “Cancer patients are the best ambassadors. When you know you’re going to die, you’re willing to do anything. That’s the best way to change things,” Barrelet said. “To me, it’s so enjoyable to do something using my skills, net worth and knowledge that is about more than just making money. This is about saving other people, empowering patients and making a difference.” To learn more, visit curematch.com

Children hold animals at Pammy’s Pony Party and Petting Zoo.
‘Pammy’s Pony Parties and Petting Zoo’ enhances love of animals BY KAREN BILLING Pamela Kramer-Glickman is never happier or more at peace than when she is around her animals — and she is around her animals a lot. There’s her “handsome” quarter-horse Stanley, her Palomino pony Daisy, her Suffolk sheep Julian, Gittel the pygmy goat, her chickens she absolutely adores, and Marla, the pig, who sits under her desk while she’s working at home, warming her toes. These animals and more make up “Pammy’s Pony Parties and Petting Zoo,” which is partially housed at U.K. Equestrian at Rancho Cielo in Rancho Santa Fe. Her parties and petting zoo go on the road while riding lessons and an upcoming summer camp will be held at Rancho Cielo. “I encourage children especially to be around a horse ranch, they learn so much more than just riding,” Kramer-Glickman said. “They learn compassion for animals and it builds their self-esteem. They learn discipline, accountability and responsibilities. They learn to love and trust an animal as a friend. They have a sense of family and camaraderie with other riders. Age makes no difference.” The ranch was previously owned by Ginger Hill and was called Rancho East. Kramer-Glickman said she was lucky that Hill welcomed her in with her quarter-horse Stanley, her Palomino pony Daisy and her

Ginger's attitude was it’s just another farm animal. The horses will learn and adjust,” Kramer-Glickman said. In September 2016, Graeme Dixon purchased the 11-acre ranch and renamed it Rancho Cielo — it is now home to about 85 horses in a newly spruced-up facility and barns.

The cost of the four-day program is $89, and students can select from any of the three sessions being offered this year. The first session will be from April 10-13, second session from June 19-22, and the third session will be from Aug. 21-24, so pick the one that’s most convenient. All sessions will be held in CCA class rooms from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Students should be approaching or already 15-and-a-half years of age to enroll in the Driver’s Education program. Teens who are not CCA students are welcome to attend these sessions. The benefits of a classroom-based program are that students finish in four days, receive live instruction, experience interactive learning, learn lifesaving and defensive driving skills, and take multiple practice tests. Students will receive instruction from a licensed, insured instructor from Golden State Driving School. They will receive an official certificate of completion at the end of the session, verifying that all the DMV Driver’s Education requirements have been fulfilled. With this certificate, students who are 15-and-a-half or older will be able to take the DMV written test to
obtain a learner’s permit. The learner’s permit is valid after the student completes one 2-hour driving lesson with an accredited driving school. Behind-the-Wheel Driver’s Training is not included in this program, but Golden State offers experienced Behind-the-Wheel instruction. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the CCA Foundation and CCA Dollars for Scholars. This is the perfect answer for the busy student who doesn’t have time to deal with lengthy online Driver’s Ed programs, and wants to schedule the DMV written test now. For detailed information and to register, go to www.canyoncrest.dollarsforscholars.org and click on driver’s education. For questions, please email ccadfs@gmail.com. Registration is online only. Enrollment for each session will end one week before the first class begins. There will be no make-up dates for classes missed.

SEBASTIAN MONTES
Keynote speaker Mary E. Pearson talks with a student while signing a copy of one of her books.
Author urges teen writers to heed ‘the Whispers of Story’ at CCA Writers’ Conference BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Reality, we know, can be a tangled, chaotic mess. Mary E. Pearson’s words carried out over the auditorium at Canyon Crest Academy on Saturday morning, March 11, an ingot of truth carefully molded for the 200 teenagers who hung on her every word. The New York Times best-selling author — by way of Carlsbad — counseled and consoled the aspiring writers, commiserating with their fears, waxing poetic on the transformative power of storytelling — at one point “a unique kind of magic,” and later, “the only reason mankind has survived” — and exhorting them not to fall prey to regret for things not done and never tried. It was an ultimatum of sorts, a gauntlet thrown down at the feet of anyone as obsessed with story as she is. “The truth is always there — simmering, whispering, a story that won’t go away,” she said. “It’s a recurring ache within us. Maya Angelou said there’s no agony like bearing an untold story within you. She understands that weight, and so do you. That’s why you’re here … You see images and you hear voices and you don’t need medication for it. A pen or a keyboard is your only cure. You have to answer the call.” Pearson’s words opened CCA’s sixth iteration of its annual Writers’ Conference, an all-day confab of accomplished wordsmiths and 200 students who hope to take up their mantle. The two dozen authors on hand — from playwrights to journalists to graphic novelists — dispensed hard-earned wisdom to the eager horde of aspiring writers, insights into the creative process, fine-tuned techniques from their careers spent stringing one word after the next. Started in 2012 by then-president of CCA’s creative writing group Devyn Krevat, the conference has grown stronger each year, maturing into a mutually beneficial day of mentorship. That success is due in large part to continued guidance from Devyn’s mother Kathy
Krevat — herself an accomplished author — as the conference has grown in size (it includes students from a half dozen schools), sponsorship (organizers believe it to be the only free writing conference for high school students in the country), and prestige (this year’s speakers boasted an all-time high of New York Times best-sellers). “It’s making a name for itself, it’s getting more recognition,” said CCA senior Julia Camilleri, taking a moment from tending to the logistics of her final conference. “We’re being sponsored by a publishing agency this year, which is really cool, and authors are starting to reach out to us ask to speak. It’s a really good experience for young authors and it’s a really inspiring experience. You go home and you are really motivated to start writing, even if you were not much of a writer before.” Saturday’s workshops saw authors and students sharing insights and struggles alike. Graphic novelist Jim Pascoe invoked an anecdote from his work on Buffy the Vampire Slayer to illuminate how one well-placed image can convey action that no amount of dialogue could. Matthew Wolf explained how seemingly trivial details were the key to conjuring a world as massive yet believable as the one he created in his Ronin Saga. Sylvia Mendoza helped her participants compose a would-be news article about the conference, tweaking variations in structure and tone to tailor the article for different kinds of audiences. James Matlack Raney teased apart the appeal of great — and not so great — action sequences from The Iliad to Sharknado. “I had nothing like this,” Raney, author of the Jim Morgan Books, said after his session, the fifth year he’s presented at the conference. “I just kind of learned through hard knocks. I wrote things that were really bad and I just had to put them out there and people had to tell me they were bad. So to come to a place where I could have learned some techniques before trying SEE AUTHOR, A24

Village Viewpoints presents ‘Why The Border Matters’ March 19 Strong community leadership is integral to the growth and vitality of a city. For San Diego, two of the city’s leaders over the past four decades have been Malin Burnham and Mary Walshok. In 2012 these two joined with others to establish the UCSD Cross-Border Initiative as a means to achieve the potential that exists for our city as the largest bi-national metropolitan region in the world. Malin Burnham is a leading philanthropist and businessman who long ago recognized San Diego’s potential as a regional center. Committed to leaving the world a better place, Burnham handed over the reins of an immensely successful and growing business in order to fully devote himself to his other passions - San Diego and philanthropy. Many decades later, his foresight, financial investments and leadership skills have led to the realization of countless projects, bostering the city’s economy and prestige. Through it all he has not lost his passion for sailboat racing. Burnham remains the youngest ever to win the International Star Class World Championship, at the age of 17, and also the oldest to have won the International Masters Regatta at

Together, Malin Burnham and Mary Walshok recognize the importance of working through political issues to join with Tijuana in building a strong economy on both sides of the border. They believe that enhancements in education, research, transportation and businesses will foster innovation and economic growth for the mutual betterment of the cross-border region. Please join Village Viewpoints for a fireside chat to learn more about what has motivated these speakers to do the work they do in support of an economically viable cross- border economy. Walshok and Burnham will speak on Sunday, March 19 in the Fellowship Center of the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served beginning at 6 p.m., with Walshok and Burnham to begin speaking at 6:30 p.m. Time will be allowed for audience questions. Tickets are $35.

Local resident and former MLB star Aubrey Huff opens up in new book BY ROB LEDONNE When local resident and former star player for the San Francisco Giants Aubrey Huff decided to write a book about his life, he had no idea how the experience would soon shape him. “It was a very therapeutic book for me to write,” Huff said about the process. “I was reliving some of my anxieties and depression, and as I wrote I found out a lot about me that I had never known before.” Plus, he joked: “It was way cheaper than a shrink.” The result of those therapeutic efforts is “Baseball Junkie,” a book that encapsulates Huff’s life, in raw and honest terms, throughout its rollercoaster of 268 pages. Huff, who talks about the murder of his father early in his life, to his recent new-found Christian faith, put his ups and downs on full display with the help of co-author Stephen Cassar, whom Huff says turned into a “lifelong friend.” “I think the biggest thing I want people to take away is that no matter how much you succeed, no matter how much money or material things you acquire, it will never bring you happiness,” says
“
Baseball Junkie is exactly what it sounds like: a Major League baseball player’s battle with drug addiction while playing. It’s also a story of my crippling anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.

Huff. “‘Baseball Junkie’ is exactly what it sounds like: a Major League baseball player’s battle with drug addiction while playing. It’s also a story of my crippling anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. At the very heart of this book, though, is my redemptive faith in Jesus Christ, and his mercy to help in the darkest of times.” Huff has been no stranger to dark times throughout his life, however charmed. In his long career in the Major Leagues, he’s played for a variety of teams, from the Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, to the Houston Astros. However, his association with the Giants is how fans know him best, helping the team score World Series rings in both 2010 and 2012,

Huff also became known for lighthearted hijinks around the clubhouse, most famously with his red, jewel-encrusted “lucky” thong he started wearing leading up to the Giants’ 2010 victory, later dubbed by the fans and media a “rally thong.” Despite all of his accomplishments and accolades, plus his marriage and two sons, Huff still wasn’t fulfilled. “Even after all that I wanted to end my life,” he

notes. “I am living proof that material wealth and things of this world will never make you happy. There has to be something greater for you to live for. For me it is my new-found faith in Christ, and my family.” Funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, “Baseball Junkie” marks the latest phase of Huff’s life. It’s a happy one at that finds him still living in Del Mar. “We moved here immediately after I retired in 2012,” Huff said. “It was a
move that made little sense. We had no extended family here and I’m a Texas boy at heart, but I have really grown to love Del Mar very much. My wife and I have absolutely fallen in love with our church where we’ve grown in our faith and our marriage. And as an added bonus, I get to coach both my boys’ little league teams.” Adds Huff: “Life has never been better for me than it is right now.” “Baseball Junkie” can be found on Amazon.com.

Carrie Ann Inaba receives 2017 'Helen Woodward Humane Award' Last Saturday, March 4, Helen Woodward Animal Center presented Carrie Ann Inaba (award-winning television host, dancer, choreographer and producer, as well as animal advocate and spokesperson for the Center’s 2015 International Remember Me Thursday campaign) with the 2017 Helen Woodward Humane Award. The prestigious annual award was presented in front of an invitation-only group of high-level donors at the private home of a dedicated Center supporter. Although Carrie Ann Inaba is best known for her passion for dance as a judge on the ABC hit, “Dancing With The Stars,” it is her great love for animals that inspired Inaba to found the charitable organization The Animal Project Foundation in 2012. The organization provides funding to grassroots animal rescue groups, assisting with emergency rescue and medical costs, fostering and adoption of high-risk animals, and provides access to free spay and neuter services. Inaba’s dedication to the world of animal welfare touched the Center directly in 2015, when she accepted the role of Official Spokesperson for Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Remember Me Thursday campaign. Her participation included the creation of a heartfelt public service announcement, encouraging the world to take part by
sharing photos of their rescue pets on the fourth Thursday in September. She went even further, personally urging the entire Dancing with the Stars cast and crew to join in by passing out campaign t-shirts, enthusiastically sharing images of her own adopted pets and displaying a symbolic candle on the judges table. Her social media posts and tweets single-handedly resulted in thousands of media impressions in a single day for the campaign, increasing awareness and touching the lives of shelter pets waiting for rescue. To date, Remember Me Thursday has championed pet adoption by uniting 180 countries, over 700 animal welfare organizations, and over 865 million people on social media. Inaba’s contribution to this success has been significant. Inaba’s arrival in San Diego a day before the award ceremony reminded Center staff, once again, what a true-animal lover she is. Inaba dedicated her extra day to visiting the Center’s campus, becoming fast friends with a grey orphan cat named Vine, meeting each one of the pets up for adoption, and engaging with the therapy bunnies, horses, and llamas. “I am so honored to receive the Helen Woodward Animal Center’s “Humane Award” for doing something that brings so much happiness and joy to my life,” said Inaba. “Animals are special creatures, they

Past recipients include Kristen Bell, Diane Keaton, Betty White, Jackson Galaxy, Tippi Hedren, and Linda Blair. This year’s
presentation was a special one for Arms who championed the International Remember Me Thursday campaign. “We were honored to present this award to such a truly outstanding individual,” stated Helen Woodward Animal Center President Mike Arms. “Carrie Ann Inaba has dedicated so much of herself and her life to these beautiful creatures and he has our enduring respect and unwavering friendship.” For more information, visit www.animalcenter.org or stop by in person at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

It’s time to take a hard look in the mirror When it comes to accepting the need for extended care down the road, many are in denial. “It won’t happen to me” is not a plan Approximately 70% of people over age 65 will need extended care at some point in their lives, whether in their own home, an adult care outpatient center, inpatient and/or nursing home.
The Dangers of Denial No-one wants to face the possibility of it happening to them. • Emotional & Physical damage to the family caused by this is real and irreversible • Providing care to a chronically ill person makes the healthy care-giver resentful and chronically ill as well • At least one child must put aside their life to care for you, the parent. Especially if your son or daughter feels their parent is no longer safe New & Improved Extended Long-Term Care

'I Carry My Mother' author and poet Leslea Newman to speak at RSF Library March 28 Rancho Santa Fe Library will host award-winning author and poet Leslea Newman for an author visit and book signing of her newest book of poetry, “I Carry My Mother” (2016 Golden Crown Literary Society (“Goldie”) award in poetry; 2016 Massachusetts Center for the Book “Must Read” award) on Tuesday, March 28 at 10:30 a.m. in the Guild Room. Newman is the author of 70 books for readers of all ages, including the poetry collections Still Life with Buddy, Nobody’s Mother, and Signs of Love, and the novel-in-verse October Mourning: A Song for Matthew Shepard. Newman has received many literary awards. From 2008-2010 she served as the poet laureate of Northampton, Mass. Visit www.lesleanewman.com. Below is an interview given by the author about themes of love, keeping memory alive and the writing life. I Carry My Mother is a book-length cycle of poems that explores a daughter’s journey through her mother’s illness and death. From diagnosis through yahrzeit (one-year anniversary of death), the narrator grapples with what it means to lose a mother. The poems, written in a variety of forms (sonnet, pantoum, villanelle, sestina, terza rima, haiku, and others), are finely crafted, completely accessible, and full of startling, poignant, and powerful imagery. These poems will resonant with all who have lost a parent, relative, spouse, friend, or anyone whom they dearly love. Q: In this most recent book of poetry on the illness and death of your mother, titled I Carry My Mother, how has the book changed perspectives for you since you have begun speaking about the poems and sharing them with a live audience? Newman: I have been very moved by the response the book has received, especially by those who have gone through the experience of losing a parent. One woman told me that the title poem, “I Carry My Mother” made her realize all the ways she carries her mother inside her, and she was very comforted by that. That was particularly moving to hear. Reading the poems aloud to an audience is a way of keeping my mother’s memory alive, and that also means a great deal to me. Q: Your mother gave you permission to write of her death and dying. Where is the leap you make when deciding what to publish from your life? Newman: I think my mother knew

Leslea Newman that I would write about her after she died, since I pretty much write about everything. Giving me permission to do so was a great gift because it took away any hesitation I might have had in writing and publishing the poems. A friend of mine who is also a writer once said, “If you don’t tell your story, you die twice.” I want to keep my mother alive as much as possible and I think that the poems do that. They also help others think about their parents who are no longer alive in new ways which keep their memories alive as well. Q: In your writing career, you have become a prolific author of 70 books for children, young adults and adults. You remember your mother also wanting to be a writer. How did your mother’s unlived life become your life’s drive? Newman: I always wanted to be a writer, ever since I was about 8 years old. I didn’t know my mother also had literary ambitions until I was an adult. My aunt showed me a short story my mother had published in her high school’s literary magazine. My mother never showed this story to me. It was the only thing she ever published. The story was quite good and I am sure that whatever talent I have as a writer comes directly from my mother, who was the smartest person I ever knew. She was very proud of my accomplishments and I am glad I was able to give her that pleasure. I think she would have liked the poems in I Carry My Mother. I felt very close to her as I was writing the poems, and I feel very close to her when reading them, too. – Submitted by Hae Jung Kwon, Rancho Santa Fe Library

Nature & Culture International helps Ecuador establish 6.3M-acre conservation corridor in Amazon Rainforest Culminating three years of collaboration by provincial and local governments, indigenous communities and Del Mar-based Nature and Culture International (NCI), the Provincial Council of Pastaza, Ecuador, established the 6.3-million-acre (2.5 million hectare) Pastaza Ecological Sustainable Use Area on Feb. 24. This vast area is larger than the state of Maryland and considered by scientists to be one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth. Antonio Kubes, prefect of Pastaza Province, who has been a key proponent for the creation of the protected area, noted that the creation of this reserve will underpin the sustainable development of the region, providing benefits to the local population, while protecting a global resource. Renzo Paladines, director of NCI Ecuador, said, “The creation of the Pastaza reserve is a global example of what local and provincial governments working together with indigenous communities can do to protect vital natural resources while ensuring their own long-term sustainable development and livelihoods.” The newly declared Pastaza reserve, coupled with the neighboring 2.5-million-acre Yasuní National Park, will protect an immense swath of eastern Ecuador s´lowland Amazon rainforest. The area provides essential habitat to a wide range of mammals, amphibians, reptiles and flora. Scientists have documented that this area of the Ecuadorian Amazon holds world records for a wide array of plant and animal groups, from amphibians to trees to insects. A single hectare (2.47 acres) in the region may contain more tree species than are native to the continental United States and Canada combined, according to a 2010 Texas State University study. Another study shows that amphibians, birds, mammals and vascular plants all reach near maximum diversity in this region, and the threatened giant otter can be found here along with jaguars and tapirs. The area is also very culturally diverse, and the establishment of the Pastaza Sustainable Use Area will

protect the lands of several indigenous nationalities that reside in the area including the Shuar, Achuar, Kichwa, Zápara, Andoa, Shiwiar and Waorani. The process to declare the Pastaza Sustainable Use Area began three years ago and included extensive consultation processes with municipal governments, indigenous nations and communities residing in the area. NCI served as a technical advisor to the Pastaza government, working in concert with stakeholders to develop baseline data, define reserve boundaries, and provide information needed for establishment of the area. Watershed reserves for three of Pastaza’s largest towns have been incorporated into the core conservation zone of the Pastaza Area. “The creation of the Pastaza Sustainable Use Area is a visionary declaration and a true gift to the Earth,” said Byron Swift, president of NCI. “NCI is proud to be a part of this process, and we look forward to working with the provincial and municipal governments and indigenous nations to protect this area for generations to come.” Visit natureandculture.org

Harvesting food awareness in Encinitas, Part Two
W
hen developers were granted permits to build new housing in Encinitas in the 1990s, they were required to reserve land for schools to serve the children of the new homes. A 10-acre parcel on Quail Gardens Drive was set aside for this purpose and was deeded to the Encinitas Union School District in the early 2000s. Because the projected number of students did not materialize, the land sat empty for years, said Tim Baird, EUSD superintendent. The state frowns on unused school land and was moving forward on an assessment of about $60,000 per year, Baird said, prompting the district to have serious discussions about the property. Although he said the district didn’t need a school then, he felt the district eventually might. “This was the last big parcel of land available to us,” he said. “We therefore knew that whatever we did on the land, we had to be able to turn our work into a school at some point in the future.” The unique idea of Farm Lab met all requirements. The property was eventually transformed into an outdoor classroom that offers hands-on learning about bio-diversity, crop production and environmental science. Only one acre of the site is currently growing food for the district’s schools, but three more acres on the northern side of the property are being primed for future farming, with cover crops and soil amendments building soil fertility. We love our worms! Water usage and conservation are a major focus in Encinitas schools. “We have a whole series of lessons around water use,” said Baird. Each of the nine K-6 campuses offers filtered water, and drip irrigation nourishes the crops at Farm Lab. Farm Lab Director Mim Michelove said the San
Dieguito Water District measured water usage at Farm Lab last summer, when more water is used than at any other time of the year. “They calculated that … we used less than half of the water used in an average San Diego home,” she said. “That amount is consistent year-round, although we obviously use even less in cooler months.” Three Israeli-designed rain barrels, using an innovative yet simple concept to capture rain water, are in place at Farm Lab. Michelove said the rain barrels utilize a uniquely designed release valve at the bottom that eliminates bacteria and sediment. The health department has restrictions on how rain water can be used in schools. For now, the water can be used for landscaping purposes, and the district hopes to eventually use the water to flush toilets. Recycling is also part of the district’s environmental lessons. Children learn to sort their trash and food waste carefully, using special bins at every school site including Farm Lab. One of the six bins is labeled “worm composting food.” I asked Michelove if this awareness has taken the yuck out of worms. “We love our worms!” she replied, smiling. Farm Lab also loves the idea of providing food for the community by way of a Food Forest along the edge of the property. A tree garden has been planted along Quail Gardens Drive which will bear many varieties of fruit in about three years, free for the community. Michelove said about 25 drought-tolerant trees have been planted, including pink and yellow pomegranate, nectarine, papaya, fig, plum, apple,
www.rsfreview.com persimmon, loquat, pineapple guava, and black and green coastal olives. The trees were planted through a joint effort of volunteer community members and the California Conservation Corps. The trees and supplies were purchased with funds provided through donations. Signs along the walking path will provide information about water conservation and urban agriculture. Not without controversy Despite all this, Farm Lab is not without controversy. Some parents have said Farm Lab is as controversial in the community as the yoga program has been. Said parent Danica Edelbrock, “As a health expert and a mom concerned with the environment for future generations, I applaud the idea of the EUSD Farm Lab. The importance of teaching children about these concepts is crucial to them growing up healthy and respecting our planet. “I would however like to be assured that the curriculum has been written by, and that farming practices are being managed by, educated leaders in these fields. I would also like to be assured that the [bond] proposition monies are being used wisely, that all children in the district have benefited from this program, and that the agriculture yields are in fact accurate.” Most seem to agree that the idea is good, but they question the cost. Baird said he plans to prepare a complete budget showing income and expenses for Farm Lab in the next month or so. Baird offered assurances about the crop yields at Farm Lab, saying, “The produce amounts that Mim gave are accurate. We are still purchasing some produce outside of the district farm and gardens, but our goal is to get as much as possible from our own fields.” Complaints have focused on the Farm Lab director herself, some questioning her qualifications and abilities. But Baird backs her, saying, “She is the best person in the world to be in this position doing this important work.” “Mim has acquired more money in donations and grants than her entire salary last year,” which Michelove said was about $80,000 not including benefits.

County urges public to find, dump standing water BY GIG CONAUGHTON With the sun out, temperatures rising but the ground still wet from recent rains, San Diego County environmental health officials urge people to fight mosquitoes by dumping out standing water in their homes and yards. It is an ongoing call that has taken on added urgency this year because of the Zika virus. County officials said people should check their properties for anything that could possibly hold water — a toy left outside, a saucer under a flower pot, a discarded cup, rain gutters or garbage cans — and dump it out to keep mosquitoes that could potentially transmit diseases from breeding. “It’s really important for people to look around their properties to find places where water has collected and dump it out to keep mosquitoes from breeding,” said County Department of Environmental Health Director Elise Rothschild. “We all have a role in preventing mosquito-borne diseases, whether it’s West Nile virus or Zika.” County residents have become accustomed to the call to help fight native mosquitoes because they can spread West Nile virus. However, last year, the County’s Vector Control Program had to hand-spray 10 different neighborhoods to kill mosquitoes after finding invasive Aedes mosquitoes living near people who became infected with the Zika virus while traveling outside the country.
Invasive Aedes mosquitoes can spread tropical diseases not normally found here, including Zika, chikungunya and dengue, if they first bite an infected person and then bite other people. To date, no invasive Aedes mosquitoes have been found in San Diego County or California carrying these diseases. However, invasive Aedes mosquitoes like to live and breed very close to people, in yards and even inside people’s homes. That makes it more important than ever for people to inspect their homes and yards for breeding spots. Recent rains may have created new places for mosquitoes to breed — and this week’s sun and warming temperatures could speed up the mosquito breeding cycle. Under San Diego County’s normal weather conditions, mosquitoes can grow from eggs to buzzing adults in 10 to 12 days, said Chris Conlan, a supervising vector ecologist with the County Vector Control Program. However, he said, when temperatures warm up, that timeline can shrink to five or six days. Conlan said invasive Aedes mosquitoes, which are small with distinctive black and white markings and like to bite during the day, can breed in the tiniest amounts of water, as small as a bottle cap. Because of that, he said, people could stare right at a potential breeding source and not immediately recognize it.
Conlan said anything that can hold water — from rain or people’s sprinklers — could be a potential breeding spot. He said that he’s seen mosquitoes breed in half-inflated basketballs left out in yards and inside uncapped chain-link fence-posts that have collected rain or water. Conlan said people should remember to follow the County’s “Prevent, Protect, Report” guidelines. Prevent mosquito breeding by dumping any item inside or outside of homes that can hold water. Mosquito fish, available for free by contacting the Vector Control Program, may be used to control mosquito breeding in backyard water sources. Protect yourself from mosquito-borne illnesses by wearing long sleeves and pants and using repellent when outdoors. Make sure screens on windows and doors are in good condition and secured to keep insects out. Report if you are being bitten by mosquitoes during daylight hours, or if you find mosquitoes that match the description of Aedes mosquitoes by contacting the Vector Control Program at (858) 694-2888. For more information about mosquito-borne illnesses, go to San Diego County’s “Fight the Bite” website at sandiegocounty.gov/deh/pests/wnv.html. – Gig Conaughton is from the County of San Diego Communications Office

FROM AUTHOR, A9 would have been awesome. If you’re a kid and you’re interested in writing, this is the place for you.” Whatever the genre, the authors hewed close to one abiding theme: writing is the only way to conquer its inevitable obstacles. Then keep writing. And then write some more after that — no matter the frustrations and doubts sure to arise. “Oh let me count the ways that fear creeps into a writer’s soul,” Pearson mused in her keynote address. “The blank pages, the endless blank pages. They’re like something out of a Alfred Hitchcock film —square white birds pecking and pecking at you. And then there’s the clock: it’s not ticking, it’s screaming at you.” Complicit with fear is failure, but she hammered home again and again that failure is indispensable to success, summoning adages from towering figures as diverse as Thomas Edison and Michael Jordan, as Lao Tzu and Jim Carrey. In each instance, she said, failure was more than merely unavoidable, it was utterly necessary. For Pearson, fear had its root in her own chaotic childhood, both at home and in the world at large. She recalled the duck-and-cover air raid drills, desks shoved together as supposed shelter for the terrified children huddling beneath. She recalled standing for a moment of silence when news broke that John F. Kennedy had been assassinated. She recalled the images in news magazines of people setting themselves on fire in a mysterious place called Vietnam. Family life brought her no respite. Hers was a childhood filled, she said, by relatives seemingly plucked from the Addams family (on her mother’s side)
and the Beverly Hillbillies (on her father’s). “We had all the dysfunctional, dark drama of reality TV on a regular basis, minus the big bucks,” she said. “The drama came complete with death, drugs, alcohol, murder, suicide, abuse and always, always the crisis de jour.” It made her more introspective, more attuned to observation and detail, plunging her into ravenous and indiscriminate reading — magazines from Tigerbeat to National Geographic, encyclopedias, novels, romances, science fiction. She loved Pride and Prejudice and Fahrenheit 451, and, of course, helped herself to a healthy heaping of Hemingway. And then came the seminal moment she pulled The Outsiders off a shelf and finally found herself certain of the kind of writer she wanted to be. “It wasn’t a classic, it had never been assigned in the classroom, it wasn’t even well-known. But it’s a book that changed my world profoundly,” she said. “It was a book that was populated by people I recognized — teenagers — and it didn’t shy away from the uglier and real side of life. … It sounded like my world, and it was a book written for me—not my parents, not my grandparents. I read it multiple times, and I cried every time I read it.” As she headed off to college, she found herself swept up in the power of writing to reveal the truth. And yet, she couldn’t muster the courage to reveal her own personal truth. Her working-class parents —neither of whom graduated high school — would never understand their youngest child wanting to pursue something so impractical. “I was afraid it would be like saying I wanted to be a ballerina astronaut,” she said. “It sounded so unrealistic. College was for jobs with pensions and benefits.”
FROM COACHES, A1 then notified that the coaches have been cleared so that they can begin working with students. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said the district also holds mandatory coaches meetings prior to every season. Certificated teachers in the district do have priority in the hiring process for coaches, but Dill said it is challenging because they can’t force teachers to coach. “When we don’t have willing certificated coaches that’s when we go out to ‘walk-on’ coaches,” Dill said. Former Torrey Pines parent Elaine Kooima said the issue she has found with some contract “walk-on” coaches is that they have zero or minimal training on how to work with high school students. Kooima pointed out that the California Educational Code states every high school student is entitled to fair and equitable
FROM SUTTON, A22 Michelove was a co-founder of the non-profit Healthy Day Partners, which the website says was established “to provide schools with sustainable programs that help students make informed healthy lifestyle choices … [and to] support programs that engage students through school gardens, wellness and environmental education.” Michelove, through Healthy Day Partners, contributed to the success, Baird said, of the one-acre garden and farm at Ocean Knoll School, regarded by many as a showcase of nutrition and agricultural education. He said she also helped implement school gardens and garden instruction at other district schools. One common criticism of the program is that the students are learning how to garden, harvest and prepare farm-grown food not at Farm Lab but at the schools’ gardens. Michelove said the Ocean Knoll farm is where the district piloted most of the programming and philosophies now implemented at Farm Lab. “OK Farm serves as proof of concept, prior to the
The life that eventually took shape was one of a dream deferred: married at 18 to an accountant with no literary inclinations and having settled into a job teaching elementary school, her passion for writing smothered beneath a mass of denial and delay. One decade turned into the next, her fears always outweighing her yearning to write, until a relative’s offhand remark one day finally sent her desires into irresistible boil. Her excuses fell away when faced with the prospect of another 20 years of regret. “Real writers write,” she said. “They don’t wait for all the planets to align just perfectly … They snatch the moments they can and they create others. They make it happen, and they don’t let fear hold them back. They don’t think about writing someday; they do it, now.” She hunkered down for an entire year to compose her first manuscript, only her husband and children knowing what she had taken on. She kept her parents in the dark, still afraid of their reaction. Finally, ebulliently, she put that piece of herself out into the world. “Well, the world didn’t love it,” she recalled. “I cried. I panicked. I was absolutely terrified. What had I done? But the one thing I didn’t do was give up, not this time.” Undaunted, she learned to find the value of editors who had strewn notes of encouragement between the lines of their rejection letters. She set to work on the craft of writing, schooling herself on point of view, dialogue, subtext, conflict, foreshadowing. She revised her manuscript and submitted it again. When her book still didn’t sell, she embarked on another, honed through invaluable critiques at her very first writers’ conference. She listened, went home, revised—ad nauseam. Five months later, a publisher tendered her first offer.
treatment and have equal opportunity to practice and access to competitive facilities. Supervisory staff is also required to investigate and protect every student from harassment, intimidation and bullying. Kooima said she was disappointed in the district’s response when she reported inequitable treatment and harassment to multiple players by a Torrey Pines contracted coach. Kooima said she was “humiliated” and her complaints were reduced to a “trivial concern” by then- Principal David Jaffe and former Superintendent Rick Schmitt. She said she was told her complaints were just about “playing time” and she was told the principal did not have to meet with her because she did not follow protocol. “No protocol was ever stated or given to me and it is not published on any website. Also, there is no law that says following protocol is more important than the well-being of a student. None
natural extension of this work at Farm Lab,” she said. The future of learning Geographically, Farm Lab is ideally positioned in what’s known as the Encinitas Environmental Educational Cluster, or E3 Cluster. The E3 Cluster is a rare convergence of nonprofit organizations within close proximity to one another: EUSD’s Farm Lab, Leichtag Foundation, Coastal Roots Farm, San Diego Botanic Garden, San Dieguito Heritage Museum, Seacrest Village Retirement Community, the YMCA, and others. It’s a location that gives students access to learning opportunities rarely realized in other school communities. This has contributed to Farm Lab’s growing reputation, which has resulted in official visits from schools in central and northern California, from Los Angeles, and some San Diego County schools. “Out of state visitors have come from Colorado, Wisconsin, and even from Ontario, Canada,” Michelove said.

“I remember being numb, hanging up the phone after the call, and then crying and screaming and dancing in circles in the kitchen with my daughters,” she said. “It was and it will always be one of my sweetest memories.” Pearson went on to a heralded career as one of the nation’s preeminent youth authors, piling up awards and appearances on best-selling lists. Ten of her novels have now been published, in 20 different languages. The Remnant Chronicles is beloved. The Adoration of Jenna Fox has been optioned for a movie. She recently sold her next two novels on proposal. ”Oh, and my parents know I’m a writer now,” she quipped. But no matter the successes, she said, failure has and will always loom near on the horizon, a specter under which all writers by necessity struggle. “Each of you has your own journey. It won’t be like mine, or the person sitting next to you … You have stories to tell that no one else can — as long as you show up,” she said. “So now I challenge you: go forth, hone your craft, learn, grow, become a warrior of truth, learn to dig deep. Slay us with your honesty. Be wicked, be ruthless, cut to the core. Make your truths cold and hard and hot and sticky and loud, so they are impossible to ignore or deny, so they will make us breathless, make us weep, make us angry, make us fall onto our knees with gratitude that we are not alone. Whether you are writing a dark drama, a sweeping fantasy, a poem or a knee-slapping comedy, remind us with every word what it means to be human and what we share. The world needs your voice. Your stories matter. I was girl and had a calling. So do you. I’m waiting to hear your stories. Be fearless.”
whatsoever,” Kooima said. “And the law states that every case of bullying must be investigated immediately. I got blown off.” Kooima said she believes that this kind of “awful, abusive treatment” is still happening at district schools and requested that the board carefully choose contracted coaches and to take complaints more seriously. SDUHSD Trustee John Salazar agreed that the district should look more carefully at coaches, noting there is one pending complaint against one of the district sports teams, currently under investigation. Salazar said he is also concerned with an allegation regarding district coaches that have close connections with club teams — he is concerned that coaches are making money off of students, requiring them to play for club teams in order to make the school team. He said when he hears allegations and complaints like that, he intends for the district to deeply investigate those issues.
of the Leichtag Foundation, is proud of Leichtag’s association with Farm Lab, through Leichtag’s offshoot – the nonprofit Coastal Roots Farm. The idea is to get kids into farming, Farley said. He’d like to see the next generation “heavily engaged in growing their own food” and believes programs like Farm Lab are an important step in that direction. Farley called Farm Lab a “transformational experience” that he acknowledged was in the early stages. “We’re just beginning to understand the possibilities here,” he said. “This is the best farm-school program in the country,” said Michelove. “This is where the future of learning is going.” Involving San Dieguito The long-term goal is to turn Farm Lab into a pre-K through adult learning center. What’s missing is a way to continue the learning after EUSD students leave sixth grade. Farley said the San Dieguito Union High School District can help fill the gap by extending EUSD’s program into middle and high schools, to allow students to stay connected to the land.
Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services, agreed and called Farley’s ideas visionary. Grove said he sees numerous ways the program could enhance learning, in classes such as AP environmental science, chemistry and culinary arts. He said San Dieguito Academy and La Costa Canyon high schools both have thriving culinary arts programs, and SDA has its own garden. Grove said discussions need to happen with teachers “to make them aware of the possibilities.” According to the United States Botanic Garden, 200 years ago a vast majority of Americans worked in agriculture, but today fewer than 2 percent do. EUSD is trying to do its part to connect future generations more closely with the land. As Farley likes to say, “Farm on!” Part one of this topic appeared in the March 2, 2017 issue.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MARCH 16, 2017 - PAGE A25
FROM ZOO, A6 sharing the feeling that children could learn a lot from visiting with the animals. “He had a vision of wanting lots of children and grown-ups to learn to ride. He enjoys the sound of the children and the pure joy and happiness it brings to the ranch,” Kramer-Glickman said. Through the ranch’s business U.K. Equestrian, children can start beginning lessons with trainers Dixon and Shayna Gale and continue to ride either for pleasure or to go on to compete in local shows. Kramer-Glickman has taught horseback riding to children for over 40 years, beginning in her native Canada. She also worked as a veterinary assistant and is an insured horseback riding instructor, camp director and teacher. She has always loved animals and moved to California from Montreal nearly 30 years ago with her childhood horse and her filly. The horses passed away at the ages of 27 and 25 and a heartbroken Kramer-Glickman wasn’t sure she could ever own a horse again. Her whole life changed after a friend asked her to visit her horse in Del Mar at Far West Farms, owned by Sandy Arledge. At Far West Farms she saw horses and foals everywhere, chickens running around, some goats, a cow, peacocks, rescued rabbits and guinea pigs, and dogs. “I had only seen this many animals in a zoo. All the animals got along, the dogs did not chase the chickens or the horses. The peacocks walk along and did their own thing. Life seemed balanced and in harmony
and chickens came when you called their name,” Kramer-Glickman said. She was hooked on the farm life and bought a quarter-horse from Arledge and then got some chickens of her own — she would’ve never thought that chickens could be such loving creatures. “They had personalities, they were affectionate and I felt like it was Christmas morning every day when I collected their eggs,” Kramer-Glickman said. She became more than just a horse rider but a small farmer, purchasing baby bunnies, a baby goat and helped nurse a baby sheep back to life, bottle feeding it while it lived in her home. As her little farm grew larger, she created Pammy’s Pony Parties and Petting Zoo to take the show on the road. “I couldn’t wait to bring them to preschools, senior homes and share my new experience. There is so much unconditional love all around us,” Kramer-Glickman said. One of the things she enjoys most about her traveling petting zoo is the joy it brings. She watches as children with learning disabilities or people who are overcoming cancer find their strength again and feel powerful by riding a horse or leading as goat; she delights seeing children cradle a chicken or give her big fluffy sheep Julian a snuggly hug. “I’m getting a chance in my senior years to do something I love,” Kramer-Glickman said. Kramer-Glickman loves seeing children coming straight from school to the ranch for lessons or training, caring for their own horses or visiting her sheep and goats. She has led
several children through training to get their “Animal Handler’s License.” Having the license allows them to come visit and care for ponies, goats and sheep on the Rancho Cielo property, giving them a sense of responsibility. “When they’re at the ranch, they’re not inside by a computer or playing video games, they’re out in the fresh air. It’s so wonderful,” said Kramer-Glickman, noting the therapeutic feeling she gets from being on the ranch after a busy day, taking a leisurely horse ride in beautiful Rancho Santa Fe. “You go out and you just feel like you’re in a different world. It doesn’t seem to matter how stressful my day is, I can come here and just exhale.” Kramer-Glickman said beyond that sense of calm and unconditional love, there is so much to learn from being on the ranch. One of her favorite lessons to share with kids is that when they are walking or riding a horse or goat, you have to pick a focus point and go toward it and the animal will follow your lead. “It is my philosophy in life that if you have a plan and look ahead to where you want to go, you’ll get there,” Kramer-Glickman said. U.K. Equestrian is located at 18547 Aliso Canyon Road. Pammy’s Ponies upcoming Summer Equestrian Camp will allow campers to learn about all the basics of horse care through games and activities. In addition to feeding, grooming and equine education they will also get to interact with pigs, sheep, ducks, goats, rabbits, chickens and more.

FROM STUDENTS, A1 showed they agreed with that message of tolerance and inclusion by unanimously approving a Resolution in Support of All Students and Declaring All Schools a Safe Place.” The resolution was proposed by the board following comments heard at the Feb. 2 SDUHSD board meeting regarding the district’s policies on discrimination and promoting tolerance at the schools. Canyon Crest Academy parent Rajy Abulhosn referenced a basketball game at Torrey Pines where students briefly chanted “Build that wall.” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said that, in light of recent national events, the district has received a number of questions regarding its policies. “This resolution was drafted to reiterate and reaffirm the board’s commitment to providing a world-class public education and safe schools for all students irrespective of their immigration status, ancestry, color, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, nationality, race or ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic status or beliefs or association with any of those,” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said. “What the resolution would also do is embrace the diversity of our community… reaffirming that we are opening and accepting and that we have safe schools for all of our students.” The resolution also affirms that the district complies with the law by not inquiring about immigration status nor maintaining documentation of a student’s legal status or disclosing that information to third parties. Everything included in the resolution is already included in various existing school policies. “(The resolution) puts it all together within
one place and makes a statement to our students so they know that we support them and that they’re safe,” SDUHSD President Amy Herman said. The resolution was met with support and thanks during public comment from parents, teachers and students — Torrey Pines’ Grace Bashour, an immigrant from Syria, and Noah Garcia, representing Torrey Pines’ Genders and Sexuality Alliance (GSA), said the district’s resolution was meaningful to them, providing them with a “backbone of support.” “Ultimately my goal in speaking up wasn’t to create dissent or simply to expose problems, it really was my hope that we could bridge gaps and facilitate solutions,” Abulhosn said. “This resolution does that and I am very appreciative.” Brenda Robinette, a teacher in the English-language learner program at Torrey Pines, also thanked the board for the resolution, as she considers it an honor to serve and care for some of the most diverse students in the school. “I especially love working with kids who know how special it is to be able to go to school in the United States, where they get the opportunity to create the kind of future that they know they deserve,” said Robinette. She said teachers dedicate themselves to make sure every student feels important, successful and valued. “The resolution reflects what is in each of our hearts.” Torrey Pines teacher Don Collins, who runs the Peer Assisted Listeners (PALs) program at school, said he works hard to foster student connectedness at school, especially with new students — he said the 2,600-student school had more than 200 transfer students from around the world. He said student wellness centers on students feeling connected and

being treated with dignity and respect. “Your proclamation is a good-faith promise to promote a safe and inclusive place for all students to come and learn and grow. You heard from two amazing students who found a home, who found friend groups and, as a result, they became student leaders. They had to start somewhere, and that somewhere had to be a safe place. They had to be themselves and they had to be themselves to thrive,” Collins said. “This proclamation makes it a clear and loud statement to all the student families: You matter to us, we are here to teach you.” Erin Charnow, who teaches math in the Newcomer Academy at La Costa Canyon and serves as an advisor for the GSA club, said she has the opportunity to reach some of the school’s most vulnerable populations. The majority of students in the Newcomer Academy are new immigrants from Central America, primarily Guatemala, and she said hearing the board’s proposed resolution put them at ease and alleviated fears they had about even coming to campus. She ensured them it is their right in America to have an education— “It’s suddenly given them a voice which they didn’t feel they had,” Charnow said. Charnow also shared the resolution with her GSA club, many of whom are only out in the club and not to their families. “To say that the school is the one place they can be themselves, means so much to them,” Charnow said, noting one student was made to use a special bathroom and use a utility closet to change for PE at their last school after coming out. SDUHSD Trustee John Salazar said he doesn’t typically like resolutions because they have no teeth. He questioned what would be done differently after the resolution is passed. Dill said he would be communicating the
board’s position to 18,000 district contacts and reiterating that message until it becomes the district’s accepted “brand.” The resolution also directs Dill to work with site principals to engage in activities that promote tolerance and inclusion and to provide training to staff. “Aren’t we pretty much already doing that?” Salazar asked. “We are doing that but there’s nothing that says we can’t do a better job,” Dill said. “One of the issues that we have is that each school is doing something different…I think we need to start looking at a more unified approach…find what works and set to replicate and repeat that from school to school.” During public comment, parent Lucile Lynch also wanted to ensure that there was action behind the resolution, including addressing transportation needs of students in the La Colonia and Eden Gardens communities, and equal education and workforce training for students with disabilities. Not everyone at the meeting was in support of the resolution. “I object to this resolution, I see it as an attempt to state a political opinion…it is not a proper use of the time, the attention and the resources of this district,” said Carmel Valley resident John Turnage. Turnage said he felt that it is a much better use of public resources to pay attention to issues that can be addressed by legitimate functions of the district rather than to apply “good intentions to political situations which they cannot effectively influence.” “If we feel fear and anxiety about recent events, it is not coming from the district,” Turnage said. “It’s not coming from here and I think that pretending that it might come from here is likely to produce the same fear and anxiety that you’re trying to comfort people about.”
FROM DEFICIT, A1
The board will hold Local Control Accountability Plan (required by the LCCF) and budget workshops in April and May. In May, Dill will bring forward recommended additions and subtractions to be built into the budget. The budget will be brought back for approval in June. “Year in and year out, we reach a point around now where things are looking pretty desperate, but a great portion of that is because we are so conservative in our projections,” said SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro. “By year end, it always looks better. I can’t think of a year that it didn’t. And I’ve been here a lot of years.”
aware of inflation of retirement costs and they are built into the budget. He said he expects the district to see some revenue growth, but he ensured the board that they would not be spending every new dollar that comes in. Even if the district receives a “rosy revenue” picture from Governor Jerry Brown in May, he said he would still advise the district to move forward in capturing operational savings. “We need to hold tight on expenditures and we need to make effective use of increased revenue as it comes in to help bolster the reserves and close the deficit,” Dill said.

Dance into springtime with La Jolla Music Society
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT La Jolla Music Society traces its roots back to 1941, when Nikolai Sokoloff, former conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, originally founded the Musical Arts Society of La Jolla. Over the years, the organization has grown and prospered, adding dance to their offerings a decade ago. This spring’s Dance Series programs are particularly appealing: two very different companies from two very different parts of the world — the south of France, and the Southern Hemisphere. On March 18, at the Civic Theatre, Malandain Ballet Biarritz will present a new spin on the old tale of “Beauty and the Beast,” set to music by Tchaikovsky. Under the direction of choreographer Thierry Malandain, known for combining classical technique and contemporary vision, MBB has become one of Europe’s most popular dance companies since its beginnings in 1998, in the resort town of Biarritz, on France’s southwestern coast. This full-length “Beauty,” called “beautiful and dark” by French reviewers after its 2015 premiere, is influenced by Jean Cocteau’s 1946 classic film and Malandain’s own inner demons, and brightened by “the choreographer’s acute

The company’s last visit here was quite an experience, according to Leah Rosenthal, LJMS Director of Artistic Planning, who had seen them perform “Cinderella” in France
and excitedly booked them to be part of the Dance Series in May 2015. “A week before, we got word that all their crates of costumes were stuck on a boat somewhere off the east coast,” she said. ”We didn’t want to cancel, so they offered to do a program of short pieces, bought costumes at whatever shops they could find, and somehow made the
whole thing come together beautifully, and did master classes too. They were fabulous!” This month’s visit should be less fraught and just as fabulous — definitely a don’t-miss event for dance-lovers. And next month, on April 8, Black Grace, which has been hailed as “the most positive, living
expression of any New Zealand art,” will present their own six short pieces at the Spreckels Theatre, combining traditional Maori dance and Samoan body percussion with modern dance and hip-hop. Founding artistic director Neil Ieremi may have been, at 19, a late-starter in dance, but he went from becoming an accomplished dancer and choreographer to establishing a company that uses his New Zealand’s indigenous dance and his family’s Samoan heritage to create exciting, powerfully athletic works that have won him worldwide acclaim and prestigious awards. These two dance troupes will surely bring something fresh and new to our stages, and each performance will be preceded by interviews with the artistic director and selected dancers. “We’re so thrilled to be able to bring them to San Diego,” Rosenthal said. “They really are unique voices in the dance world.” ■ IF YOU GO: Malandain Ballet Biarritz, 8 p.m. March 18, Civic Theatre, 1100 3rd Ave., downtown San Diego.

Singer Clay Johnson and “The Fabulous Equinox Little Big Band.”
GEOFF JOHNSON
Community Concerts of RSF to present 'The Fabulous Equinox Little Big Band' Meet your next two best friends – Jeremy Davis and Clay Johnson with their fiery-hot 11-piece big band at the Community Concerts of RSF event Saturday, April 1 at the Village Church in RSF. Audiences have fallen in love with these two sophisticated Southern gentlemen and the high-energy show that is “The Fabulous Equinox Little Big Band” Along with the greatest songs, the best original arrangements and phenomenal musicianship, these two bring their rich friendship and charm to the stage. Fashioned in the style and swagger of the legendary entertainers led by Frank Sinatra, Davis and Johnson are putting their own stamp on the Great American songbook, graced with a touch of Motown, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Elvis and more. Offering freshness and relevance that speaks to every soul. Big Band for a new generation. Louisiana native Jeremy Davis has led various bands on over 200 shows a year on the road before forming Equinox. Davis’ groups have been featured at festivals, theaters and venues all across the country. He has performed in conjunction with David Sanborn, Ellis Marsalis, George Clinton, The Allman Brothers, Gov’t Mule, The Beach Boys, Col. Bruce Hampton, Derek Trucks, Jennifer
Holiday, several American Idol alums and many more. Raised in a family of preachers, teachers and Folk/Southern Gospel singers, Clay Johnson was born to inspire and entertain. His passion for music performance has developed since childhood over thousands of concerts, musicals and shows on stages from Los Angeles to New York City, whether volunteering to sing at his children’s school, or singing at festivals, arenas, or sold-out theaters. At the same time, his love for the gospel has taken him all around the U.S. and the world to work with churches and communities as a minister and missionary (i.e., Ukraine, India, and Ethiopia). Please visit the CCRSF website for more information or go to performers’ website, www.equinoxorchestra.com. Tickets are available online at www.ccrsf.org or by mail with credit card or check: PO Box 2781, RSF, CA 92067.

Need a Financial Plan? Scott Ashline at La Jolla’s Northwestern Mutual can help BY DAVID L. CODDON There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for successful financial planning. Everyone has different needs and dreams for the future. That doesn’t deter Scott Ashline and his team at Northwestern Mutual. In fact, he relishes the challenge. “What I really enjoy is discovering what are clients’ objectives and trying to figure out ways we can help them,” said Ashline, for 25 years a wealth management adviser at Northwestern Mutual. “It’s like solving a puzzle.” Ashline’s team is composed of practitioners in comprehensive financial planning, estate planning, business planning, retirement income planning, investment strategies and risk management. “Each person has a different specialty,” he explained. “We really do your overall financial planning. For some people it’s ‘How much do I need for my kids’ education?’ For others it’s retirement strategies, and for others it’s life insurance or setting up retirement plans.” In other words, and Ashline emphasizes this, “We’re not just investment managers.”
Northwestern Mutual is a longstanding company, founded way back in 1857 in Wisconsin. Its three San Diego County offices include the Golden Triangle area, downtown San Diego and Carlsbad. Ashline, originally from Colorado, is a graduate of Boston College and says with pride that financial planning is the only type of work he’s done from the start. “Interaction with clients” is what he said he likes most about it. No wonder that in 2016, Scott and his team were number one in the Western U.S. (out of over 1,000 advisors) for the third consecutive year for the financial security award. This recognizes planners for their overall success in comprehensive planning. That’s a distinction perhaps earned by understanding the ups and downs of the financial world, by being visionary and by reassuring his clients. “The challenge is keeping them focused on their long-term goals,” Ashline said. “A lot of times the latest news tends to infuse fear in people into doing nothing. I see that a lot in some of the estate planning markets in terms of what’s going to happen with estate
taxes.” He urges clients who may be anxious to be proactive, to keep moving forward, and to trust his team: “Do what you do best,” he advises, “and let us help you figure out your longer-term goals.” Ultimately, Ashline said, the goals are the same for all of his clients, regardless of their financial portfolio. “At the end of the day, everyone has the same kind of objectives. It comes down to math. I always say my job is to get people to save and invest money before they spend it. “No one is hard-wired to save money. We’re about getting people to save first and then spend. Getting people disciplined.” There may be no ideal client, but Ashline knows what a good one is: “Somebody who really wants to do great things for their family and for the community. They’re in it for a bigger purpose than just making a lot of money.” Northwestern Mutual is at 4225 Executive Square, Suite 1250, in La Jolla.

'A Night of One Thousand Spotlights' fundraiser March 25: Helping girls around the world Caitlin McGuire, a high school student from Rancho Santa Fe, was looking for a way to make a difference. In the spring of 2015, she attended a fundraiser, held by a close family friend for Sahasra Deepika, an organization providing residential care, education and hope to underprivileged girls in Bangalore, India. “Sahasra Deepika Foundation for Education touched my heart. I realized how lucky I am to have options that many girls around the world do not. I want to help expand the opportunities available to the girls at Sahasra Deepika,” said Caitlin. Fast forward to June 2016 when Caitlin spoke to Sarva Rajendra, president of Sahasra Deepika Foundation For Education (USA), about the school’s needs. Caitlin became a Youth Ambassador for Sahasra Deepika and accepted the mission to raise awareness. While speaking with Rajendra, Caitlin learned that the school needed funding for an outdoor amphitheater. Caitlin immediately made a connection, “I have been dancing since I was 3. Dancing allows me to express my passions and emotions. I decided to ask my friends to help the girls in India explore their passion for performing arts, so they can have the opportunity to experience the joy we feel,” she said. Caitlin quickly designed a logo of a girl holding a heart under the stars and named the fundraiser “A Night of One Thousand Spotlights.” The name Sahasra Deepika means one-thousand lights. She then contacted friends from different local high schools to coordinate a performance showcase of song and dance for the event. Madison Coe, also from Rancho Santa Fe, was the first to join in. “Once I heard about this opportunity, I thought about how amazing and special it could be,” said Madison. “Having access to a performing arts program has helped me pursue what I am most
passionate about, which is music. I believe everyone should have the option to express themselves through the arts,” she added. “A Night of One Thousand Spotlights” will take place at Temple Solel in Cardiff on March 25, from 5-8 p.m. There will be a cocktail hour under the stars, with heavy appetizers and a silent auction. Guests will then sit down for dessert and coffee, while they are entertained by high school students singing, performing music and dancing. The acts include a specially choreographed classical Indian Dance performance by Nrithyallaya Dance Academy of Vista, and performances by Evolution Dance of Carlsbad, All Star Dance of Solana Beach and more. Sarva Rajendra, president of Sahasra Deepika Education Foundation (USA), will be flying in from Washington D.C. to speak about the organization and the importance of girls’ education in the world today. “The world needs more leaders like Caitlin, who is extending the hand of friendship to girls in need and striving to make a difference in their lives. ‘A Night of One Thousand Spotlights’ is going to be a very special evening. On behalf of everyone associated with Sahasra Deepika, we thank Caitlin, her friends and all of those working behind the scenes to make this event a success,” said Rajendra. Caitlin, Madison and their friends are working hard to reach the fundraising goal of $20,000, which will allow the school to build an outdoor amphitheater. “Madison and I have exchanged video messages with the girls at Sahasra Deepika. We plan to go to Bangalore, India, meet the girls and see the theater, once it’s built,” said Caitlin. The girls and their families have reached out to the community for support and the response has been overwhelming. “A Night of One Thousand Spotlights’” title platinum sponsor is Natural High, a national organization based in San Diego, whose mission is to inspire and empower youth to find their Natural High and develop skills and courage to live life well.

SDJA students make blankets for Israeli orphans BY KAREN BILLING an Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA) students are making blankets for the Lev LaLev Orphanage in Israel as part of Children Helping Children International’s BlanKids project. The plan is for SDJA students to make 95 blankets that will delivered in person by the seniors during their class trip to Israel. Fifth- and sixth-grade students got a start on the work March 8, snipping and weaving blue and green fleece blankets in teams. Tatiana Zunshine, the executive director of Children Helping Children International, was born in Russia. She was a human-rights activist, and said she was kicked out of her country for her actions, given just three days to pack. She has lived in America for 30 years and has continued in her humanitarian efforts, founding Children Helping Children as a way to show kids that they are never too young to make a difference. With the BlanKids project specifically, kids have an opportunity to do real hands-on work that will provide comfort and love to a child in need. With BlanKids, Zunshine typically pairs a school with an orphanage in need, but at SDJA she didn’t have to, as sixth-grader Bella Silberstein had already established a connection. Bella has been supporting the Lev LaLev orphanage for the last two years, raising money through selling bracelets
S
and handmade cards, and in September she asked that instead of birthday gifts, her friends donate to Lev Lalev. Bella will have her Bat Mitzvah in Israel in the summer of 2018, so her ultimate goal is to visit the orphanage and have Lev LaLev girls join in her celebration. “I read about what Bella did in the paper and connected with her. I was inspired by her and decided to come to this school with the idea of making blankets,” Zunshine said. “I can’t thank Bella enough for the inspiration and thanks to the school for being so receptive…This is a very special school.” Tikkun Olam, which means “repairing the world,” is a big part of the education at SDJA. Students participate in a variety of community service activities to help them learn that they have a responsibility to make the world a better place. Rabbi Baruch Rock said Tikkun Olam programs are seasonal and in the spring they celebrate the spirit of the Jewish holiday of Purim by giving gifts to the poor. “Remember every little inch of fabric you cut and tie: you’re making something filled with love, with the intention of helping those who are less fortunate than us,” Rabbi Rock told the students. While just fifth- and sixth-graders were working on the blankets last week, it is hoped that more students in the upper grades will also participate in the project.

‘Evolution of the Art Market’
U
S Trust hosted “Evolution of the Art Market” at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club March 9 featuring Evan Beard, National Art Services Executive with the private wealth management firm. Beard took eight paintings to explain the current state of the global art market and considerations for the modern day collector. The topic that generated the most interest was the rise of art as a capital asset and the rapid growth of art-secured lending.
Attendees were surprised to learn that collectors across the country can unlock capital from their art to invest in their business, real estate or hedge fund, all while keeping their art on the wall. The evening was the first in a series of gatherings planned by Sean T. Anthony at US Trust.

Community Resource Center English Tea Party to help victims of domestic violence, homelessness BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Local residents have the opportunity to sip tea and munch on scones and other foods for a good cause April 1. The Community Resource Center (CRC), which has offices in Encinitas and has been serving North County since 1979, will host its 22nd annual English Tea event from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. that day at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive. The event benefits the CRC’s mission to promote self-sufficiency, stability and safety. Event Chair Patricia Moore considers it a fundraising and educational event. It is used as a way to bring information about domestic violence to the community. The day, emceed by Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist Peggy Pico, will include an address from the keynote speaker, Chief Deputy District Attorney Summer Stephan, who has served appointments as Chief of the DA’s North County Branch and Chief of the Sex Crimes and Human Trafficking Division. As a trial prosecutor, Stephan tried more than 100 jury trials, including special circumstance homicides, sexually violent predators, child molestation, sexual assault, child abuse, school shooting, assault on peace officers, and human trafficking-related cases. The English Tea event annually raises about $50,000 for the CRC’s programs. Much of the funding will go toward the center’s domestic violence program, officials said.
“If you knew someone who was experiencing domestic violence, where would you turn for help?” said CRC’s CEO Isabel St.Germain Singh, in a statement. “CRC provides safety and stability for households in crisis from domestic violence, as well as education programs and counseling that aid in the prevention of such violence. The annual English Tea provides necessary funding so that CRC can continue to meet the needs of those coming to us for help.” In 2016, CRC’s domestic violence program served 143 households, including 124 children, through their Carol’s House domestic violence shelter, transitional housing, counseling and therapeutic programs, officials said. Additionally, 98 percent of CRC’s domestic violence program households did not return to their abusers in Fiscal Year 2015-2016.

The Community Resource Center’s annual English Tea event will take place April 1. sometimes we will help them be placed out-of-area because it’s safer for them.” Accepted women can spend between 45 and 60 days at Carol’s House — and in a case-by-case situation, can be extended to 90 days — where they work with counselors to help the women get back on their feet, Johnson said. Offerings for the women at the CRC include financial counseling, nutrition and food support, help to get food stamps and help to see if they qualify for any kind of aid. “When the women are in the shelter, we offer them the whole range of the classes that
we offer to the community,” Moore said. “Often, these women have been so overshadowed by their abuser that they don’t have a checkbook, credit card or job skills.” Johnson also noted the center’s nationally-recognized therapeutic children’s center. “It’s a place where a kid can be a kid, where they don’t have to worry about what mom is doing and if she’s OK,” Johnson said. “They can kind of be in their own world and play.” Domestic Violence Program participants are also provided transitional housing at a lower SEE TEA, B19

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

Rady Children’s Auxiliary to host benefit The sixth annual “Date Night for a Cause” at the Belly Up Tavern will be hosted by The North Coast Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary on March 31 from 5-8 p.m. One-hundred percent of the proceeds raised at this event will contribute to the Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary $2.5 million Endowment for Neuroscience at the Institute for Genomic Medicine. The goal is to make it possible to sequence the genome of every child who is treated and cared for at Rady Children’s, dramatically increasing their ability to diagnose disease and develop treatments that improve and save children’s lives. For extremely ill babies with unexplained symptoms, rapid genetic testing has been shown to yield life-changing results. The Rady’s Genomics Team recently purchased machines from the San Diego-based company Illumina, which allows the hospital to sequence the DNA of a child and both parents in as little as 26 hours — instead of the current standard of weeks or even months. Since September, over 25 families have had their DNA sequenced, and a majority of those cases have produced answers for the symptoms causing the newborns to be hospitalized. And in some cases, sequencing has provided information that directly changed a patient’s plan of care. In addition, the Genomics Institute is conducting groundbreaking research in neurogenetics that seeks to understand the genetic basis of diseases such as epilepsy, autism and mental disability, and develop new treatments. The Belly Up is located at 143 South Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach, 92075. Tickets can be purchased at http://radysncu.com/datenight-for-a-cause. Early bird tickets are available until March 17 for $65 per person. Tickets purchased after March 17 are $75 per person. Tickets purchased at the door are $85 per person. Ticket price includes live music from “Atomic Groove and the Fly Girlz,” heavy appetizers provided by Wild Note Café, a live auction and additional drawings.

Solana Beach woman brings Hollywood skills to North County kids BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A Solana Beach native is passing her skills learned in various Hollywood jobs to local children. Jolene Bogard, who has worked for 30 years in television as a development executive, director and assistant to an unnamed A-list actor, has been teaching acting classes at the Youth Arts Academy - Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Carmel Valley, Polster Branch since October 2015. “I think it’s great to foster kids through the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s programs because they do awesome scholarships, and I think it’s just wonderful,” she said. As a child, Bogard, the daughter of former Solana Beach Mayor Marion Dodson, always enjoyed live entertainment. “My parents always took me to the theater as a kid, and I always dreamed of being an actress,” Bogard said. “I never believed in myself and never had the self-esteem for it.” Still, being a part of the silver screen was something she continued to long for. She eventually went to college to study television and cinema, then moved to Los Angeles to work in various production roles before meeting her husband and moving to Huntington Beach about a decade ago. There, she found herself with more time on her hands. Bogard decided to volunteer at the Boys & Girls Club of Huntington Valley, where her stepdaughter was involved in plays. “They needed volunteers, and I told them I had a background,” she said. “They ended up firing the director and asking me to stay on until

It was like my job was kind of rooting for me.” She then continued to help put on more shows in roles like stage managing and directing, and learned to love working with children. When she and her family moved back to her hometown of Solana Beach in 2014, she pitched a similar program as the Huntington Valley one to Youth Arts Academy, which she learned did not have a theater program. The classes were approved, and she started off in October 2015 with four students. Now, Bogard, who puts on classes several times a week, has about 40 students and puts on multiple productions every year. She also offers acting

Her acting classes take place Wednesdays for 5to 10-year-olds from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and for pre-teens from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. She also teaches improv classes on Mondays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. In a production of Into the Woods, she said she was successful in “pushing kids out of their comfort zones.”
But, she said, she will take any child actor in any ability level. “They might not have a lead role, but I try to build off their abilities,” she said, adding she is currently working on a production of The King and I. “I have a little boy named Ryan who’s 8, and he comes to every class and every rehearsal. The other day I gave him a pretty big role. I made him the prince. He was shocked, but I told him I thought he could handle it. He showed me he really wants more, so I decided to challenge him a little bit.” For more information about Bogard’s classes, visit heyjojoproductions.com and youthartssd.org.

Preserving Your Historical Property At GDC Construction, we know it is important to preserve the history and charm of our unique community of La Jolla. With so many architectural gems in this “jewel” we call home, we passionately believe in historical preservation. Over the years, we have worked on dozens of preservation remodels of historical properties. These include: my grandfather’s remodel of the La Jolla landmark the Athenaeum in 1956, which now serves as an art and music library; my father’s 1984 remodel of the YMCA La Jolla Firehouse as a youth center; my renovation of the La Jolla Community Center; and GDC’s recent
remodel of La Jolla Firehouse 13. The San Diego Historical Resources Board is responsible for designating a local home or building as historic. Then, the California Mills Act allows homeowners to get a tax rebate for maintaining a historical property, an incentive that can go a long way to helping preserve the character that people have come to associate with La Jolla. Preserving a historic property isn’t always simple. If you are interested in restoring or preserving a historic property, there are some important steps to consider. If you are interested in purchasing an older property and want to know if it is listed as a historic home, you can research the home’s deed trust to discover its original build-date and learn more about its history. The National Register of Historic Places and the National Trust for Historic Preservation provide lists of historic homes and properties for sale. Also, you can check with local building conservation associations or historic societies in your area, such as the La Jolla Historical Society. However, if you are wanting to permit a significant alteration, or demolition, to a
building that is older than 45 years old, it will automatically trigger a review by the historic resources board during the permit process. If the property has characteristics of a specific style, is associated with persons or events that were historically significant, or a master architect, designer or builder, you will need a site-specific historic report. This report will be reviewed by the historic resources board and at a hearing, it will be determined if you property is designated historic or not. Historic properties will come with restrictions on what you may do to alter the exterior of the building and landscape, but not the interior. Therefore, it is crucial to always make sure you hire a licensed contractor who specializes in restoration or rehabilitation. Also, there is a big difference between “restoring” and “rehabilitating” historic properties. Restoring a house means returning the appearance of both the exterior and interior of the structure to the time period in which it was built. For homes of a certain age, strict preservation usually isn’t possible. For example, if the house did not originally
have indoor plumbing, but you plan to live in the home and don’t want that level of “rustic authenticity,” then you will likely not choose a strict restoration! Another reason not to seek strict restoration might be historic renovations made to the home, especially if provenance comes into play. For example, if Marilyn Monroe previously owned your house and retiled a wood floor in hard-to-find pink ceramic tile, there may be a strong historic appeal to keeping that addition. Restoring can be costly, but recreating old woodwork and other handcrafted elements of the original home with original artisanal materials will also restore its value and will boost your appreciation of your historic home. Rehabilitating an historic house means making it functional and livable for contemporary life, while maintaining its important historic and architectural features.

Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty and World Housing partner to build homes in Tijuana, Mexico Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty has partnered with World Housing, a 501c3 non-profit organization, to fund the building of 28 homes in one of the poorest communities in Tijuana, Mexico. Through Pacific Sotheby’s Realty’s “Agents of Change” initiative, the company’s real estate agents will donate a portion of the commission from each closing with the goal of raising $300,000 in the next 12 months. Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty chose to align with the World Housing organization because of their commitment to providing homes to families living in slums in the developing world, fostering communities where families can thrive with safety, security, and access to the resources that change lives. “The real estate industry is built on the belief that home ownership is the foundation that gives people the chance for a better life – it’s always been part of the American Dream,” according to Steve Games, Chairman, Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty. “We are very fortunate to have the opportunities that we do in our society and it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone, no matter where they are from, has access to the very basic need of shelter and security.” Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty’s “Agents of Change” was officially announced at the company’s annual meeting and was met with an overwhelming response from the agents who proudly opened their hearts agreeing to donate a portion of their commission on each home sale, matched by the company, directly to the campaign. “We
asked our agents for a commitment of $10 per closing, hands went up and then we heard, “I’ll donate $25,” “I’m in for $50,” “Put me down for $100,” and it went on and on,” says Games. “By the end of the meeting our agents committed to raising enough money to completely fund the entire project.” World Housing’s business model operates with completely separate overhead so there are no administrative costs, allowing 100 percent of the money raised to go directly to construction and materials costs. The organization is dedicated to working with local partners to train workers and buy locally sourced construction materials, to help stimulate local economies and teach skills in the process. “We see a greater impact for our donation where it really matters,” says Brian Arrington, CEO, Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty. “Each home costs under $6,000 and is given to families previously living on the streets. Once someone has a home, their life and the lives of those around them change exponentially… a roof provides stability and security. It’s a place to store things without fear of them being stolen and a place to sleep without fear of being mugged, raped, or killed. These homes are the first step in building the sense of self-worth and pride, and we are honored to be a part of this outreach.” To learn more about Pacific Sotheby’s Realty’s Agents of Change’ program and see how you can get involved visit http://worldhousing.org/agentsofchange/ or visit www.pacificsothebysrealty.com

We offer all of those services people need to remain a real person. Once you slide into homelessness, it’s really hard to get back ... We’re large enough to make

“
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.
