High school district talks state funds, Prop AA projects at workshop BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board held a budget workshop on March 10, allowing board members to weigh in on their priorities for the upcoming school year. Keeping class sizes low, ensuring campuses are safe and having students fully prepared for the future were high on the board members’ lists. “Our budget workshop is designed to get a sense of what (the board) is thinking, to put together a 2016-17 budget later this spring that the majority of the board can support,” SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt said. The budget will continue to be refined in the coming months and will be presented to the board for adjustments in May, with the final budget approved in June. A facilities workshop will also be held in April as the district moves toward a Prop AA bond sale in
early summer. According to Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, in 2016-17 there will be an increase in the amount the district receives from the state from the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), in addition to the one-time funding of $214 per average daily attendance of students (ADA). LCFF is based on average daily attendance and demographics — the district receives a base grant and a supplemental grant to serve English language learners, foster children and students eligible for free and reduced lunch. As Dill noted, the base grant can be used for all students but the supplemental grant must be used to improve achievement among low income and English-language SEE SCHOOL FUNDS, A20

CONE’s RSF Reforestation Coalition to meet March 21
Community invited to attend first meeting
The community is encouraged to join the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Committee on the Natural Environment (CONE) for the first meeting of the RSF Reforestation Coalition on Monday, March 21, at 9 a.m. at the RSF Fire Protection District Station 1, 16936 El Fuego, Rancho Santa Fe. “If we wish our community to be as wonderful and beautiful in 10, 20, 30 and more years from now as it is today, we must
enlist the engagement of the whole community in an effort to address our Rancho Santa Fe forest,” said Bill Beckman, CONE chair. “It is critical that we all make an investment in our forest – for now and for the future.” The Reforestation Coalition will address the serious tree issue in Rancho Santa Fe caused by a monoculture of eucalyptus and the lerp psyllid pest. Efforts at controlling the pest have failed, and the prolonged drought of recent years has further weakened Rancho Santa Fe’s forests and Red Gum Eucalyptus trees, making them
especially vulnerable to attack by insects and diseases. Over the past 15 years the area has lost tens of thousands of Red Gum Eucalyptus trees and continues to lose thousands more of these beautiful mature trees each year, according to Beckman. In addition to being an eyesore, dead and dying trees pose a major fire hazard. On its properties, the RSF Association has removed dead and dying trees, replacing them with newly planted native trees. The Fire Protection District enforces tree removal on private properties within 100 feet of a dwelling unit. However, the vast majority of
the trees in the Covenant area are on properties over which only the private owner has control. The coalition will look at ways to educate and encourage private property owners to plant appropriate trees and to obtain funding to make appropriate trees inexpensive and readily available to residents. “A greater variety of trees planted now will cushion our tree environment against the vagaries of climate change and new pests, and keep the Ranch looking like the Ranch!” Beckman said.
3 arrested in Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe burglaries
No enrollment lottery needed for SDUHSD’s 2016-17 school year
Three people are in custody following a string of home burglaries in Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department announced March 3. The four burglaries happened between Feb. 17 and 23. Three of the burglaries were interrupted when the victims returned home. No one was hurt and there was no confrontation between the suspects and the victims. Loss in all four thefts is estimated at more than $100,000. The investigation led North Coastal Sheriff’s Station Detectives and the Fugitive Task Force (FTF) to 18-year-old Jonathan Valdez Flores. He was arrested on Feb. 24 on charges of possessing stolen property. On March 2, two more suspects were
The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) High School Selection window closed on Monday, Feb. 29, and SDUHSD recently announced that no enrollment lottery will be necessary at any of the district’s four high schools for the 2016-17 school year. All eligible students who participated in the SDUHSD High School Selection process will be offered enrollment at their first choice of school. This ensures that each eligible student has the opportunity to attend the high school that is the best fit for each student and family. Each spring SDUHSD conducts a process referred to as High School Selection in which each incoming high school student is asked to select the high school they would like to attend. In the rare occasions that enrollment demand for a school exceeds available capacity, California law requires a random lottery to determine which students are offered enrollment. For the 2016-17 school year, each high school has sufficient capacity to accommodate enrollment projections developed after the close of the High School Selection process. Thanks to the district’s Prop AA General Obligation Bond building program, SDUHSD will have additional high school enrollment capacity for the 2017-18 school year. — Submitted press release
arrested in connection with the burglaries. Joe Estrada, 18, and Joshua Gomez, 20, were taken into custody in Encinitas. A search of Estrada’s home in the city of San Diego turned up suspected stolen jewelry from the burglarized homes. Estrada and Gomez are facing charges of residential burglary and possession of stolen property. Both suspects also had outstanding warrants for theft and burglary. The investigation is ongoing and more arrests could follow. Call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 with information and you will remain anonymous.

RSF residents to chair 53rd Anniversary Planned Parenthood event ‘Fearless Voices’ dinner to be held March 30
BY KAREN BILLING Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest will hold its 53rd Anniversary Dinner on Wednesday, March 30, at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. The “Fearless Voices” event will celebrate reproductive health advocates and supporters, and help raise funds for the safe, affordable and quality care that Planned Parenthood provides. “Now, more than ever, is the time to proclaim our solidarity with Planned Parenthood,” said Rancho Santa Fe’s Rosette Garcia, chair of this year’s event with her husband Dan Kisner. “We are enthusiastic about celebrating the undaunted spirit of Planned Parenthood at the Anniversary Dinner, and uniting with other fearless voices in a chorus of support for this organization that provides vital reproductive health care services to thousands of people in our region, provides fact-based sex education and advocates for these rights for all.” Garcia and Kisner are very excited about the guest speakers they were fortunate enough to get for the March 30 event — they said both promise to be incredibly inspiring and educational. Guest speaker Carole Joffe, Ph.D., a professor at UC San Francisco’s Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, will speak about the resilience of Planned Parenthood in the face of great challenges.

RSF’s Dan Kisner and Rosette Garcia are chairs of Planned Parenthood’s 53rd Anniversary Dinner. considered one of the most compelling voices in the field of reproductive health and politics, and an expert on the history of abortion in the U.S. Guest speaker Dr. Willie Parker, the last abortion provider in the state of Mississippi, will offer attendees a unique perspective about his work providing abortions to women in states where anti-abortion extremists have made it nearly impossible for women to access care. Parker was recently featured in the Sundance Film Festival’s award-winning documentary “Trapped,” which details the struggle Parker
and other abortion providers in the South endure. Parker will also be presented with the first annual Fearless Voice Award. “We’re giving it to him because of his unwavering commitment to women’s reproductive rights,” Garcia said. “He is working to make sure women get the care they want, need and deserve to get.” Parker is currently a plantiff in the lawsuit before the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the Texas law that reduced the number of abortion clinics in the state. “This is a person who takes a risk every day he goes to work, he is an outspoken advocate for women, ” Kisner said. “We live in a much more favorable environment, he lives in possibly the most hostile environment in the country and he talks eloquently about it.” Garcia and Kisner have been married almost 31 years and moved to San Diego in 1991. Kisner is an internist and medical oncologist with a long career in the development of new pharmaceuticals to treat human disease. He is currently a consultant to the biotechnology industry and, in that capacity, sits on four public biotech company boards. Garcia is devoted to causes that benefit woman and children. She has worked with the San Diego Women’s Foundation, served as a trustee on the Cardiff School District board, and currently serves on the philanthropy committee at Planned Parenthood. “As a feminist, I’ve always believed in reproductive rights and
reproductive justice,” she said. The couple became active supporters of Planned Parenthood over a decade ago when anti-abortion activists infiltrated their Unitarian Universalist church to disrupt the talk of the invited guest, then-CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, Mark Salo. The local chapter of Planned Parenthood of Pacific Southwest serves San Diego, Riverside and Imperial Counties with 19 clinics across the three counties. The chapter served about 140,000 women, men and teens last year — one in three households in San Diego County has a current or former patient of Planned Parenthood. “We provide under-served communities access to birth control, STD (sexually transmitted diseases) tests and treatments, cervical cancer screenings and breast exams, rapid HIV testing, emergency contraception and abortion services,” said Cita Walsh, vice president of marketing and communications. “We rely heavily on donations to support what we do every day and to expand into more underserved areas. That’s why it’s so critical for Planned Parenthood to reach out to the community to find people to support us with their voices, their time or their money.” As a physician, Kisner feels that the “life-saving” cancer screenings, as well as the STD screenings are some of the most important services that they offer. He worries about Planned Parenthood clinics coming under fire and being forced to close and the potential of women losing access to all the SEE PARENTHOOD, A22

Lois Jones, a true friend to San Pasqual Academy BY KAREN BILLING Helping foster youth with The Friends of San Pasqual Academy is a life-changing experience for all involved. With assistance from the non-profit group, students at the residential education campus are given everything they need to have a happy and successful high school experience and continue on to a brighter future. “The students give so much more to us than we give to them,” asserts Rancho Santa Fe resident Lois Jones, who was a founding member of the Friends of San Pasqual Academy board 12 years ago. She said she has learned a great deal from the students and has enjoyed watching them overcome challenges and truly blossom. “These kids are so tough,” said Jones. “They’re stronger than we could ever imagine.” Jones, a former Rancho Santa Fe Association board president, served on the San Dieguito Planning Group for 25 years before retiring this year. She is also a past member of the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center board and is currently the treasurer for the Rancho Santa Fe Public Interest Committee (PIC). She had been retired from her job leading a food manufacturing company when she opened a small print shop in Sorrento Valley, which she sold last year. Now back to enjoying retirement again, she said she wants to focus more of her efforts on her volunteerism with the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the kids of San Pasqual Academy.

attended five different high schools by the end of their sophomore year. Founding Friends President Joan Scott (whom Jones said will be “there for life”) visited the school and saw that while their basic needs were being met, there was so much more the kids could be experiencing. The founding group of Rancho Santa Fe women formed the Friends as a PTO-type organization to provide all of the highlights of high school such as prom, yearbooks and sports. Many of the students never had the
opportunity to play on a sports team — now they have 30 girls on the school basketball team. When the students start high school the Friends provide them with a desktop computer, and each birthday is noted with a gift, card and cake. The Friends hold “Shop ‘til You Drop” events where students can get all the supplies and clothing they need for school, and they host holiday parties and sports banquets where they outfit team members with Letterman’s jackets. The Friends now pay for the graduation and the senior brunch, gifting graduating seniors with a $500 scholarship, a laptop and this year an ink jet printer. “The outreach from other organizations is phenomenal,” Jones said of the “amazing” support they receive from San Diego Chargers, Padres, National Charity League, Teen Volunteers in Action (TVIA) and more. Former Charger Quentin Jammer was instrumental in helping get the school’s football field built; every year TVIA provides laundry baskets for when kids go off to college; and Assistance League of Inland North County does Operation Duffel Bags, filling bags with items they will need to start their lives in college, such as bedding, towels, small appliances and gift cards. More than anything, Jones said the Friends’ role is to be a constant in children’s life, a sense of security for kids who have been neglected and abandoned.

Sheriff’s Department considers using drones in emergencies BY JARED WHITLOCK The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is exploring whether to purchase camera-toting drones for locating missing people, aiding SWAT teams and assessing raging wildfires. Lt. Jason Vickery said the Sheriff’s Department is in the early stages of getting feedback on drones, and if the agency ultimately embraces them, drones would be used in all contract areas. In North County, that includes Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and more. “They would be used in emergencies and life-saving circumstances,” Vickery said. Privacy advocates throughout the nation have argued that police drones could enable the government to illegally track people. But Vickery stressed that drones wouldn’t be deployed for mass surveillance. Instead, he said they could save lives in a number of situations, from inspecting suspicious packages to helping a SWAT team decide how to proceed if armed suspects barricade themselves in a home. “They can get very close to windows or entryways,” said Vickery of drones, which he preferred to call unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. This ability to fly in tight quarters could also benefit search-and-rescue missions, when tree canopies or buildings hinder the views of Sheriff’s helicopter pilots. UAVs can be outfitted with infrared technology that illuminates a hiker lost in the dark, for example. If bad weather grounds Sheriff’s Department helicopters, drones could potentially take to the sky as an alternative, Vickery stated. But, he added, drones would only supplement helicopters, not replace them. That’s primarily because a helicopter can arrive on scene within 2 to 15 minutes, while it could take a drone an hour. A drone pilot and spotter would operate a UAV, and it would typically only launch from command posts set up at an incident, Vickery said. He’s part of a six-member Sheriff’s working group that began researching law enforcement drones in July. The panel is looking at drone policies in Ventura as a potential model. It also visited Alameda County, Calif. to get a sense of how police drones are used. Matt Cagle is the technology and civil liberties policy attorney with the ACLU of Northern California. He said the San Diego Sheriff’s Department should restrict any potential drone program to prevent routine civilian surveillance. “Whenever surveillance technology is used, there needs to be strict limits on the circumstances that it can be utilized,” Cagle said. He added safeguards should ensure drone footage is only collected “where and when necessary,” as well as punish abuse of drone data. Without controls, drones could be deployed to monitor protestors, for instance, Cagle said. But Vickery said that’s not in the cards. He stated drone footage would only be stored for evidence purposes, and UAVs wouldn’t just “sweep across the beat” or randomly take video of homes.
ALEX BRANDON/AP FILE
San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has stated its potential drone program wouldn’t be used for surveillance. “Any data we collect, if it’s not of evidentiary value, would be destroyed,” he said. Sheriff’s citizen advisory groups across the county will soon weigh in on drones, according to Vickery. From there, various Sheriff’s Department committees and captains of Sheriff’s substations will provide feedback. Ultimately, Sheriff Bill Gore will decide whether to implement a pilot program with a small number of drones, and if he deems that successful, drones would go countywide. Vickery said there isn’t a timeline in place for when Gore will make those calls, but potentially in the next few months. Cagle said it’s important that the Sheriff’s Department also hold public meetings on the matter. “I think the real issue here is whether or not San Diego residents even want these drones,” he said. “There should be a public debate.” Encinitas Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer declined an interview request for the article, saying she doesn’t have enough of an understanding of the issue at this time to have an opinion. “I will just say this is one of the many complex issues we have to deal with, seeking the best balance between immediate public safety needs and privacy considerations,” Shaffer stated in an email. Launching a Sheriff’s drone program would require Federal Aviation Administration approval. Sheriff’s drones would be bound by many of the same FAA rules for hobbyist operators, including that UAVs are prohibited from flying higher than 400 feet. Vickery said the Oceanside Police Department is also researching drones, but a San Diego law enforcement agency has yet to buy and deploy UAVs, he stated. Public agencies across the nation have paid anywhere from $2,000 to $85,000 per drone, Vickery said. Sophisticated models have software that snaps photos of landscapes at regular intervals, producing a composite image of the entire area covered. At this point, the Sheriff’s Department hasn’t decided which model it could buy or how many, according to Vickery. For some, the word “drone” conjures up images of large aircraft capable of missile strikes. In response, Vickery said the Sheriff’s drones would be similar to small hobbyist drones, and only able to fly for 30 minutes to an hour at a time. “You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the ones we’re looking at and the hobbyist ones,” he said.

White House Science Adviser visits UC Institute John Holdren weighs in on his heavy duties BY WALTER MEYER “Dr. Holdren has about 15 positions, but only one paycheck,” said Tai Ming Cheung, as he introduced the director of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy for a lecture Feb. 29 at the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation. John Holdren’s talk, “Science, Technology and Innovation: The View from the White House Science Adviser,” was the fifth annual Herb York Memorial Lecture. Cheung, the director of the IGCC, listed the incredible number of committees that Holdren chairs and co-chairs, and the range of sciences both theoretical and applied that fall under his purview and joked, “We only got him here because it’s a leap year and his assistants forgot to book him for this day.” The list of Holdren’s responsibilities would be daunting enough just by their number, but their importance is equally impressive. His team looks at weapons of mass destruction, cyber security threats that could paralyze the country, mining genomes to study diseases and researching how to deflect asteroids that could wipe out life on Earth. He said they are asking, “Are we smarter than the dinosaurs?” who failed to do anything about the rock that killed them.
ERIK JEPSEN/UCSD PUBLICATIONS
John Holdren has degrees from MIT and Stanford and has been a MacArthur Fellow, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and a recipient of the Heinz Award in Public Policy. He was an adviser to President Clinton on science issues and taught at Harvard prior to joining President Obama’s science team. And he added President Obama has told him, “We need to better understand space weather” because solar storms and other events outside Earth’s atmosphere could disrupt communications and more on the planet.
He hit the ground running
Holdren said that he was not aware of the range of responsibilities he had and
learned about more of them on a daily basis. Shortly after taking the job in 2009 at the beginning of Obama’s first term, Holdren learned that the head of NASA reports directly to him and through him to the president. He goes from meeting to meeting on high-level, complicated topics where it would be impossible to not do his homework and try to bluff his way through discussions with some of the
smartest people in the world. It was apparent that Holdren respects the president and in reference to Obama’s keen interest in science, he quoted from his first inaugural address, “We will restore science to its rightful place.” Holdren is also on the President’s Science Advisory Committee and from the number of reports the president has requested, it is apparent that Obama respects Holdren and that team as well, “unlike President Nixon who fired his science advisers for giving him reports he didn’t like.” Holdren said he has been privileged to be director of the largest team ever in their roles — 135 members — three times the number under President Bush and twice as many as at the previous peak under President Clinton. Holdren said Obama “has talked more about science than any other president,” including welcoming science fairs and student mathletes to the Oval Office.
Global warming, climate change
Although Holdren said he was supposed to avoid discussing politics, it was clearly difficult for him to refrain, especially when discussing the resistance he meets with many elected officials when discussing global warming. He said he was “having trouble with certain members of Congress who inexplicably don’t support basic research.” He devoted a good portion of his talk to SEE HOLDREN, A21

‘Traveling 911 Memorial Painting’ comes to RSF Fire Station
A
presentation of the “Traveling 911 Memorial Painting” was held March 11 at the RSF Fire Station. The painting continues its San Diego County journey touring and spending three months in different fire stations, according to a press release. Local Carlsbad artist Kelly Lucas was commissioned to paint and deliver her painting to New York to raise money for families of the fallen firefighters. It was purchased for over $26,000 by a restaurateur who who said, after he hung it in his restaurant, that it made people too sad so, although still pleased with his donation, he returned it to the artist. The painting was then purchased by Wendy Moldow, a local Pacific Sotheby’s Realtor. Moldow said in the press release that she knew this special piece of art deserves to
have its home in a fire station, but which? Thus, the “Traveling 911 Memorial Painting” began its journey through San Diego County. Prior to Rancho Santa Fe, it has stayed at the Encinitas and San Marcos fire stations. In the press release, Moldow said every day should be a day to recognize the importance of first responders. “Sharing this dramatic painting with them and those who visit their stations serves as a reminder of how much we appreciate all they do for us.” Among those who were at the March 3 event were RSF Deputy Fire Chief Fred Cox and Dr. Noemi Balinth, past president of the New York Psychological Association who was a first responder at Ground Zero, according to the press release.

PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL
Campisano’s cherished time with Falcons winding down Record-setting star at Torrey Pines High reflects on last four years BY ROB LEDONNE Torrey Pines High School basketball star Sierra Campisano is relaxing at her home and reflecting on an incredible past four years as an integral and record-breaking part of the Falcon sports scene. “It’s certainly bittersweet to be leaving,” Campisano notes, who’s graduating Torrey Pines this spring and is about to join the ranks of Oregon State. “It’s a huge honor.” Campisano is unlike any other player in the long history of Torrey Pines athletics. Despite missing the majority of her freshman season, she has scored over 2,500 points to date on the court. That number means out of every student athlete who’s played at Torrey Pines, counting both boys and girls, she’s the school’s highest scoring player ever. The distinction has lead ESPN to rank her the 14th best girls player in the United States, and fifth best in her position as a forward. “There are so many talented basketball players, so the fact that ESPN thinks I should be ranked that high is an honor,” Campisano says of her accolades. “Instead of putting pressure on me, I find it inspiring. It motivates me and makes me want to live up to that. I want to keep improving.” A strident fan of basketball since she was young, Campisano points to an ultra-competitiveness that gives her a distinct edge. “Growing up, our family board games with my brothers were pretty bad,”
she says, chuckling. “We’d get so competitive and end up crying or throwing the board across the room. It was funny. I’m the most competitive person you’ll ever meet, I don’t like to lose, ever. In basketball and in everything, I’m motivated to work as hard as I can.” Couple that voracious thirst with a life-goal that developed during Campisano’s childhood when she’d visit the school’s Carmel Valley campus with her father, Gino, a Torrey Pines math teacher since 1994. ”I grew up on that campus,” she says, looking back. “I couldn’t wait to go to there my entire childhood life.” The young athlete soon got her wish, but things quickly took a left turn during what was becoming a promising freshman season. That Christmas, her appendix burst. Resulting infections not only almost derailed her athletic career, but Campisano nearly died, dropping 30 pounds from her already slim body and was in and out of surgery for weeks. By the time she began recovering, even a slow jog was a chore. However, Campisano soon bounced back in a big way. “Playing for Torrey Pines in that Falcons uniform is my favorite thing,” she says now. “Being a part of the community, which is so close-knit… It’s been very important to me the last few years to be able to play for this school.” During Campisano’s time as a Falcon she’s
received a seemingly never-ending list of accolades. Just last month, the Girls Basketball team became Palomar League Champions and she was voted “Player of the Year.” On March 9, during Campisano’s last game as a Falcon, she scored a whopping 30 points. “Last year we graduated eight seniors, so a lot of people weren’t sure what we were going to get into this season,” she says. “We’ve wound up doing so well; everyone worked together and I’m just really proud of this squad of girls.” Now, Campisano has set her sights on Oregon State, a Division I school in the process of rebuilding its basketball team that recently hired a buzzy mix of talent — from players such as Campisano to staff — in the hopes of making an impact. “When they were staffing up, they handpicked the best coaching talent from different programs across the nation,” she says of her future school’s team. “I felt very at home at Oregon during my visits and I know they have all the resources at hand to become a history-making program. I really wanted to be a part of that.” It’s yet another realization of a goal that the star player earned by a combination of sheer talent, determination, and hard work. Says Campisano, “When I was 6 years old, people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grow up and I’d say that I’d want to to be a Division I basketball player.”

TVIA SD-3 volunteers help support Last Chance at Life Rescue Teen Volunteers in Action (TVIA) exposes young men to the world of philanthropic and charitable giving through a structured commitment to volunteerism. The TVIA SD-3 chapter recently volunteered at Last Chance at Life Rescue, an all-breed rescue and adoption organization, with a special fondness for Boxers, birds, and ANY pet in need of medical care. The TVIA SD-3 teens donated blankets and bedding and organized and cleaned the facility. Shawna Tellez, Lead Day chair, has been volunteering with the center as a day chair for years, and the center holds a special place in her heart. Last Chance at Life originally started as a small, private rescue called “Boxers N Birds Animal Rescue,” which has been around for many years. Animal rescues come from local shelters and humane societies, owners who can no longer properly care for them, and through animal rescue groups. Most often these animals are facing euthanasia because of medical or behavioral needs. Because of this, it is truly their “Last Chance at Life.” All pets receive the very best in medical care from the doctors and staff at Mission Animal and Bird Hospital. The entire team is very committed to offering the utmost specialized care to the pets in need.

RSF Scholars’ Circle Members Recognition Event
T
he Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation recognized its Scholars’ Circle members at a special evening reception held March 12 at the Powell residence. Membership in the Scholars’ Circle requires a contribution of $35,000-plus, usually in the form of a three-five-year pledge. These leadership level contributions play a critical role in providing the base of fundraising for the Education Foundation’s Annual Giving Campaign, which allows the Rancho Santa Fe School District to plan ahead for curriculum, programs and
staffing commitments. The Education Foundation is grateful for families who have the capability and desire to make the school part of their philanthropy for the benefit of their own children and all R. Roger Rowe School families. There are currently 102 enrolled Scholars’ Circle families at R. Roger Rowe School, including 23 new families this year.

OUR READERS WRITE Directors, please read the history In reading Ms. Boon’s RSF Association board biz column in March 3’s RSF Review, I am surprised that she actually believes that past boards had not tackled the same exact challenges she speaks of: traffic, high-speed internet, cell coverage, village vibrancy and, yes, even a community pool. All these issues were discussed and hours were spent on each item by former board members and committees. It’s all in the board records. Had the current board done its homework with a seasoned staff (most of which are gone due to this utterly ridiculous “clean sweep mentality”), it would have noticed that in the not-too-distant past, the majority of our members said they do not want a pool between our tennis and golf clubs. They certainly don’t want to pay for it from the former “open space fund,” which is more than likely an illegal use of that fund anyway, and although we would like a vibrant village, we realized a long time ago that our Association is not in control of who rents what space. The Village Vibe was a good try but it is a bust and is costing us $7,000 a month. The board spent $250,000 on a broadband study which was not even put out to bid. And when the board decided to send their hasty recommendation to the county for stop lights, the county stopped the EIR study which is costing us $60,000 to restart. Add this to the pool (Covenant Club) study and all of a sudden we are well over an unprecedented board shopping spree with our dues. Unfortunately, Boon’s column on “strategies to help tackle the insolvable” is moot when the unsolvable is not what the majority of members want. The real tragedy is how much of our money has been spent on what appeared to some as good ideas but in actuality were failed past attempts without community support. Directors, read the history. Do the math. Take surveys first and please, if a community vote is split almost 50-50 don’t go ahead with a third of $1 million pool study which comes in at $16,000,000 +. Marie Addario, Past Board President 2007 RSF Association
The silence is deafening It has been three weeks since we heard what the Covenant Club estimated construction costs were. We have all known for some time that putting a pool, restaurant, and fitness center between the golf and tennis clubs would be expensive. But $16 million? And probably more? That should be the end of the proposal. So, the obvious question is, what does happen next? We know that the design work is finished. We were told that the Membership & Marketing and Finance Subcommittee meetings would begin right away and that they would be posted and open. Then, everything went silent. The Covenant Club was not even on the agenda of the March 3 Association board meeting. To our knowledge, members of the two subcommittees have not been notified of any meetings nor have any been posted. So, our community waits eagerly to see how this startling news will affect the project. While we wait, I can’t help but remember the three major campaign promises this administration made: to manage openly, be fiscally prudent, and focus on upgrading the infrastructure of our community. But, now, nearly two years later, here is the reality: the Covenant Club is anything but fiscally prudent, decision-making takes place mostly behind closed doors, and we have seen little progress in infrastructure-building. Many of us voted for this board because of the promises they made to us. But, at the time, they never mentioned changing the golf and tennis clubs into a community country club. They never mentioned using the Covenant Enhancement Fund for a pool and fitness center. They never mentioned the financial risks our community would be assuming if the Covenant Club is built and its ambitious membership goals not met. But, at this point, that is water under the dam. What we need from them now is to break their silence, tell us how they plan to finance $16 million in construction costs, and what assumptions they are making on membership, dues, and expenses. It is time for the community to know the facts on the Covenant Club ... so each of us can appropriately evaluate the costs and risks on our own. John V. Giovenco, RSF Homeowners Group
Thanks to the RSF Tennis Club board Since the early '70s, I have been an active member of the RSF Tennis Club, including serving at least one term on the RSF Tennis board. While those who have served on the RSF Tennis board over the years deserve thanks, my purpose here is to express special thanks and appreciation to the most recent and current boards. Those who have chosen to be active on these boards have spent hours of their time coordinating, planning and providing social events unlike any we have experienced in the history of our club. The junior program is one of the best in the county, the clinics are bursting with participants, the competitive leagues are drawing record players at all levels, players who have left the club in the past are returning, the office staff is welcoming, efficient and attentive, the grounds are well maintained…Thank you, board, for your part in all of this. Thank you for all you do to make the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club a jewel of all tennis clubs in San Diego! Sherry Engelman
‘Honor Code vs. Confidentiality Agreement’ I read with amusement a letter (published in the March 10 RSF Review) authored by Jack and Patty Queen questioning the RSF Association board’s preliminary decision to employ confidentiality agreements for committee members. Their insult concerning “integrity and discretion” rings hollow and hypocritical. During the board election in 2014, Patty Queen was directly responsible for publicly disseminating by email, personal legal documents from 1998, containing my Social Security number on the front page! Discretion? I think not. Hypocritical? I know so. Kim Eggleston Editor’s Note: Kim Eggleston is a member of the Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors. Patty Queen is a RSF resident.

FROM SCHOOL FUNDS, A1 learners. All school districts are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which outlines how the district will spend allocated revenue from the state, focusing on the state’s priorities. This year the district will receive $100 million from the state. The district’s target revenue is $106 million, which represents a $3.5 million gap between the target and what the state will allocate. At the workshop, Dill went over the budget themes for 2016-17 based on input received from board members and staff on how best to use its funds. Priorities included keeping class sizes low, increasing counselors, additional bell schedules and elective options at La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines, reducing athletic transportation costs, increasing district-funded coaches, more support for the arts and enhanced campus supervision and security measures. “In terms of class sizes, counselors and bell schedules, we made a commitment to do that,” Schmitt said, noting that they are allocating extra dollars “above and beyond” the regular allocation to add counselors and maintain low class sizes. Associate Superintendent Michael Grove said last year the district added six counselors district-wide in its attempt to decrease the student-to-counselor ratio. The district has about 8,000 high school students, which results in a ratio of 441 to one for counselors at the high school level. “That’s still too much,” SDUHSD Trustee Mo Muir said, noting that, at most, the ratio should be 200 to one in order to be effective. Muir has long advocated for more counselors at the high school level and the fact that more counselors were not reflected in last year’s budget was one of the reasons she voted against it. SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said she appreciated the district easing more counselors in as the budget allowed — she said expanding the number of counselors and having lower ratios is something that has been important to her for a long time. Muir also made a recommendation that the district fund a SAT-prep class to raise college readiness instead of having students go outside school and pay for private tutoring. Grove said they could certainly offer an elective class if there was parent and student interest, however, prep classes are becoming less relevant with the new tests. “The new SAT and ACT are designed for students to critically think, analytically write and problem solve,” Schmitt said. “It’s less coachable and they’re proud of that.” “They’ve publicly stated that they want to put the test prep schools out of business,” Grove echoed. Schmitt said the old curriculum didn’t point students to the ACT and SAT but that is not the case anymore — what students are learning every day in English and math classes are preparing them for the tests. SDUHSD President Beth Hergesheimer noted that the district does pay for students to take the PSAT. “Our kids did spectacularly on the new PSAT in the fall, better than anyone else in
the county, over and above success that they used to have on the PSAT and we’ve never had more National Merit finalists,” Schmitt said. If there is interest, Muir said she would still like to see a test prep class offered, as it is in districts such as the Sweetwater Union High School District. “This is something that could reach all the kids and create academic parity,” Muir said. On the topic of security, SDUHSD Board Member John Salazar suggested increasing campus supervision, adding an extra pair of eyes on a golf cart. He said he also felt that adding security cameras would be a good use of funds to help prevent certain behaviors from occurring on school campuses. On the suggestion for more district-funded coaches, Dill said at the high school level there are 344 coaches and the district pays for 182 of them, a total of $1.4 million out of the general fund. The cost for the remainder of coaches comes from funds raised by parent foundations and boosters. “Our kids and families have a high expectation for the quality of our programs, we have to find a balance of what is reasonable,” Grove said. At the workshop, Dill also went over facilities goals and potential improvements. The district has issued $277 million in Prop AA funds since 2013 and is preparing for its next bond issuance of $62 million this summer. The next issuance will be similar to the last two bond draws, with 25-year terms, no capital appreciation bond and holding within the tax rate of $25 per $100,0000 assessed value. The $62 million bond draw will include projects such as a new classroom building at Canyon Crest Academy, the long-awaited performing arts center at Torrey Pines, upgraded science classrooms at Oak Crest and Diegueno Middle Schools, and a second classroom building at Pacific Trails Middle to handle potential increased enrollment. The district is also considering several projects that can be funded by Community Facilities Districts (CFDs). Dill said developments since 2008 have created the capacity for $18.3 million in new bonds that can be called in 2018 if the interest rates are favorable. Potential CFD-funded projects would include improved circulation at Torrey Pines, field lighting at Canyon Crest, field renovation at Carmel Valley Middle School and solar projects at Earl Warren, Diegueno and Oak Crest. Each site has also requested smaller facilities projects for 2016-17; items such as replacement furniture, new shade structures and upgrades for sports facilities like baseball field netting and tennis court improvements. Dill said those projects can be funded through the general fund, developer fees and facilities use revenue. Dill said the district could be in line for more potential revenue due to the Public Education Facilities Bond Initiative, which is eligible for the November ballot. The measure would authorize the issuance and sale of $9 billion in bonds for California schools. Dill said if the state bond passes, the district could gain an additional $35 million for school projects.

FROM HOLDREN, A7
Holdren has degrees from MIT and Stanford and has been a MacArthur Fellow, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a recipient of the Heinz Award in Public Policy. He was an adviser to President Clinton on science issues and taught at Harvard prior to joining President Obama’s science team. Rachel York, whose father was a wunderkind working on the Manhattan Project at age 23, and at age 36 was named by President Eisenhower to be the first director of the White House team that would later be known as OSTP (which
climate change and the imminent peril it poses to the planet. “We know the projected harm will be less if we take immediate action,” Holdren said. “And the cost will be much less than if we do nothing.” He talked about having to relocate entire nations of people because of rising sea levels and added, “There are no climate deniers on those islands.” Holdren praised San Diego for being a pioneer in the Sustainable Cities Initiative and he complimented the way the
universities have worked with government, the utility companies, and private groups, such Cleantech, to formulate a plan for the region’s future. Holdren demonstrated knowledge of things from the 92-million-mile view down to knowing specific figures about California’s water crisis. Unlike some scientists who may know their subject very well, but fail to communicate it in terms the average person can grasp, he made even complex topics comprehensible and kept the audience engaged — even laughing at times.
Holdren now heads), said, “What we did when we started this lecture series was chose people who followed in Dad’s footsteps.” Past lecturers in the Herb York series have included Qualcomm’s Irwin Jacobs, and Director of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Penrose Albright. The annual lectures are free and open to the public and were named and funded in the memory of Dr. Herbert F. York, IGCC's founding director, who was also the first chancellor of UCSD. Most of the audience members were UCSD faculty and older local residents with few students in attendance.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Jordi Bertran’s character may not have a name, but his latest role has left a lasting impression on and off the stage. The 14-year-old from Del Mar appears as “A Boy,” a small but important part in a close, five-person ensemble cast. Written by Samuel Beckett, the tragicomedy “Waiting for Godot” centers on two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait endlessly for the arrival of someone named Godot. “It’s hilarious; it’s heartbreaking,” Jordi said. “You really have the most varied array of emotions in this play. It’s such a complex play, and it’s so fun to watch.” “Waiting for Godot” opens March 25 at White Box Live Arts at NTC at Liberty Station in San Diego. As the only teen in the show, Jordi said he’s learned a lot from the more established actors on stage. “It’s been a life-changing experience,” Jordi said. “There’s four other men and they’ve been working in plays for their entire lives. I love watching their process.” With so much dialogue, Jordi’s been fascinated by how his fellow co-stars memorize their lines. One actor records and listens to the dialogue. Another uses movements as a mnemonic device. “I love learning from them because they have so much experience, but completely diverse experience that I can take completely
Actor Jordi Bertran (center). different lessons from each of them,” Jordi said. Although only a freshman at Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad, Jordi is quickly building his own acting portfolio. After all, he started acting when he was in third grade. Jordi landed his first professional role as Boo Who in “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” at The Old Globe Theater. He has since performed in a number of other productions, including William Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale,” also at The Old Globe. Other theater credits include “Les Misérables,” “Frankenstein the Musical,” “13,” “Shrek the Musical” and “Singin’ in the Rain,” among

others. “Acting, for me, is being someone you could never be in real life,” said Jordi, also a dancer and pianist, who currently plays water polo and volleyball at his school. “There’s so many different people that I can’t be — that I’m not — but I can be through acting,” he said. “You can experience so many different emotions and feelings and situations that you never would without acting, without playing it on stage. When you play it on stage, you are that character. You are truly in those situations.” This is Jordi’s first time working with Director Aimee Greenberg, whose company,
fruitlessmoon theatreworks, is producing the play. Greenberg stumbled upon the young actor’s talent when she saw Jordi’s portrayal of Gavroche in “Les Misérables.” After deciding to produce and direct the play, she invited him to read for the part. “I just liked his whole essence and energy,” she said. “I thought it was appropriate for the part.” Greenberg was 13, about the same age as Jordi, when she first read, “Waiting for Godot.” “As a young person enthralled with theater, I immersed myself in every genre of literature,” she said. “You can’t help but stumble across the work of Samuel Beckett.” A longtime fan of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist and playwright, Greenberg has taught classes about the play, and directed and performed scenes from the play, but she has never directed a full production of “Waiting for Godot.” “I’ve just always loved the play,” said Greenberg, a native New Yorker, who now lives in San Diego. “It’s comedic and it’s dramatic. I think it has universal appeal. “It makes you think,” she added. “It gets under your skin. You see yourself in the mirror, in this play. It brings the human condition right up to the surface. It’s a beautiful piece of poetry and drama.” “Waiting for Godot” runs March 25 through April 10 at White Box Live Arts, located at 2590 Truxtun Road, Studio 205, San Diego. Free parking is available at NTC at Liberty Station. Tickets are available at http://godot.eventbrite.com.

Danzing Candy
KELLEY CARLSON
Locally-owned Danzing Candy wins Grade II San Felipe Stakes BY KELLEY CARLSON Danzing Candy stamped himself as one of the major contenders on this year’s Kentucky Derby trail with a wire-to-wire victory in the $400,000, Grade II San Felipe stakes on Saturday, March 12, at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. He finished 2 lengths in front of the favorite, Mor Spirit, with Exaggerator an additional three-quarters of a length back in third. The time for the 1 1/16-mile race on the dirt was 1:43.04. The 3-year-old Danzing Candy was ridden by Mike Smith, and he is owned by Halo Farms (which includes Ted Aroney of Rancho Santa Fe) and Jim and Diane Bashor of La Jolla. The colt is trained by Cliff Sise, former farm manager/trainer for Jenny Craig when she owned Rancho Paseana in Rancho Santa Fe. Craig also
campaigned Danzing Candy’s sire, Twirling Candy, a major stakes winner at Del Mar several years ago. “We’ll stay for the Santa Anita Derby (April 9),” Sise said. “He’s (Danzing Candy) three-for-three on this track. Why would we change now? I don’t see any reason to, but you never know. You’ve got to leave that up to the owners.” “I won’t make reservations (for the Kentucky Derby on May 7) until the last minute!” Aroney said. “I had Hear the Ghost back in 2013. He won the San Felipe and was the favorite going into the Santa Anita Derby. I made my reservations too early, and then we didn’t run (due to a minor knee injury) and they wouldn’t give me my money back! I made my mind up that I won’t be making any reservations this year!”

Please visit www.CarrytheChallenge.org/TripleF to learn more. Veterans 360’s Carry the Challenge initiative is to engage our most at risk, underserved and vulnerable veterans as they struggle with transition and PTS challenges. After four years on the front lines of PTS and transition support Vets 360 hopes to solicit the support needed to grow the program from regional to a national scale. Groberg is supporting in that effort. Additional speakers are SCPO SEAL Robert Guzzo, who lost his SEAL son Rob to PTS, and Chief Matt Shobert, firefighter who nearly lost his life and purpose to PTS. Veterans 360 Inc, in partnership with Captain Groberg and Hire our Heroes, will provide the skills that today’s high school educated, short-term military service, combat veterans, need to succeed. This combined effort will provide this most at risk, underserved and vulnerable of all veteran demographics with career tools, life skills, resiliency-likeability training, fiscal responsibility education and when and where needed — PTS support and understanding. Groberg feels very strongly that we must aggressively engage these young veterans before crisis and despondency take hold. “Common sense say’s that it will always be easier to guide someone when they are still in a position of strength and control. I struggle to cope PTS and know first-hand that one to one support is not only effective but essential if we are to positively address the challenges today’s young veterans face.” The Carry the Challenge initiative is here to simply remind today’s young combat veterans that they are not alone, worthless

Rick Collins, founder and executive director of Vets 360 and Carry the Challenge, is very direct in their position. “The fact that it seems to be easier for a young veteran to take their own life than to ask for support tells us a lot about how ineffective their pre-transition and PTS education is. When we educate and prepare these young veterans they can overcome adversity — that is a proven fact. But as long as we lead our support efforts with terms like crazy, angry, weak, suicidal, 22 a day, followed by a propensity to prescribe mind numbing drugs they will not raise their hands — would you?” For more information, visit www.CarrytheChallenge.org.

In Step with Traditions: Local resident establishes Chinese Dance Academy BY ASHLEY MACKIN Combining a family history of performing and her culture’s rich native traditions, La Jolla resident Qi Zhang has brought the art of Chinese dance to San Diego. She opened a studio in 2012, operating out of the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla, and in 2015, she launched the Chinese Dance Academy of California in Sorrento Valley. “I have a lot of American-born Chinese students, and some other students, including American and Indian students. They all like to learn about different facets of Chinese culture,” Zhang said. “There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each one has a different style and different movements that Qi Zhang reflect their culture in dance. Some are very open in their movements and very dramatic, others are more shy. Some performances are like court dances for royalty and some are inspired by paintings that have survived from ancient dynasties. There are also some that re-create folk stories.” One audience favorite is inspired by a story of a fairy that lives in the moon with a rabbit. Zhang said because of the costumes, different postures, facial expressions, and the dynasties they represent, audiences are “transported back to that era.”
Chinese Dance Academy of California students perform in competition. “Our dance moves developed from Chinese opera traditions, so the gestures and poses and facial expressions are very different. We tell a story with body movements and our faces.” To come up with the routines, Zhang takes cultural notes from each era and area, to create specific choreographies to teach her students. “It’s like with cooking, you take the basic ingredients for a dish, but how it turns out depends on the chef; the taste might be different. We need those ingredients, but can make it our own and add flavor to it.” Something in Zhang’s recipe is seasoned just right, for in just one year, her students have developed into a polished troupe that has been asked to appear at the Poway

Center for Performing Arts, and her dancers have taken silver and gold medals in local competitions. Further, Zhang was a co-choreographer in the San Diego Repertory Theater production of “The Oldest Boy.” She is in discussions with San Diego Ballet to create a special piece. Zhang said she grew up in a performing family near Beijing, China, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance Performance and Education from the Beijing Dance Academy, studying both classical Chinese and modern dance. “I auditioned for a prestigious dance school — one that picks 12 girls and 12 boys from the entire country each year — and I got in,” she said. “I entered a professional
dance school at age 10 that was like a military boarding school. For six years, we trained together, studied together and danced several hours a day. “My father is a classical cellist and my mother is an actress, and they knew the pressure that I was in for (choosing a career in the arts), but I really wanted to be dancer, so I committed to my training.” After graduation, she became a principal dancer in the Beijing Youth Dance Troupe, and traveled the world. In 2003, Zhang decided it was time to pass her knowledge onto others. She started a dance school in Thousand Oaks, just north of Los Angeles; and another one in Irvine in Orange County three years later. “I wanted to be challenged professionally and also follow my passion ... but sometimes life brings you surprises,” she smiled. Soon after the Irvine studio opened, Zhang met her would-be husband and moved to La Jolla to be near him, and the two quickly married. Two years ago, life brought her another surprise. “I was invited to attend the 60th anniversary of the Beijing Dance Academy celebration,” she said. “There were all kinds of traditional dances and performances I got to see, as well as some of my former colleagues and professors, and some of them were still dancing. One of my former professors, Miss Chen, is now in her 80s, and she was still dancing!” The Chinese Dance Academy of California offers classes that range in difficulty, based on age and experience.

Malashock Dance, Symphony unite for unique concert FROM SYMPHONY REPORTS Rhythm and dance are the inspiring forces behind San Diego Symphony’s “Music in Motion/Jacobs Masterworks” concert 8 p.m. March 18 and 19, and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 20 at Symphony Hall, under the direction of guest conductor David Danzmayr. The world premiere of “Five Scenes,” based on composer Gabriela Frank’s chamber works, was commissioned by the San Diego Symphony and will be performed by the Symphony with Malashock Dance. “The dance, which I call, ‘Walking a High Road,’ draws on Gabriela’s reference to a small, mostly abandoned Peruvian village she once visited, and my imagining of the ghosts one might encounter on a walk through its high mountain streets,” said John Malashock of the production. “Live music is the perfect collaboration for my choreography, and this blending of dance, striking new music and San Diego’s remarkable orchestra will make for a rich artistic experience.” Frank added, “From my first meeting with John Malashock, I was delighted to meet a kindred spirit whose beautiful artistry spoke to me so instantly. I loved making these orchestral arrangements of chamber music movements that John personally selected. I can’t wait to see how he has re-envisioned the music in dance.” Also on the program is internationally acclaimed harpist Yolanda Kondonassis, who will join the symphony performing Alberto Ginastera’s iconic Harp Concerto.

TheNAT makes a splash with new whales exhibit FROM MUSEUM REPORTS he San Diego Natural History Museum dives into its big, new exhibition with a “Whale of a Time Family Day,” 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, March 20, providing visitors with a blend of science, storytelling and innovative interactivity to discover more about the world of whales. Featuring the latest in international cetacean research, the exhibition “Whales: Giants of the Deep,” will bring adults and children eye to eye with some of the world’s most elusive creatures. Developed by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the exhibit showcases two fully articulated sperm whale skeletons (including a 58-foot male), and rare specimens from Te Papa’s whale collection, one of the largest in the world. There is a lot to learn about the intricacies of whale biology, the history of whaling in New Zealand, and efforts being made by scientists and others to protect whales from threats of entanglement, shipping and sonar use, and the continuation of whaling practices in some parts of the world. And just for fun, children can crawl through a life-size replica of the heart of a blue whale, the Earth’s largest living creature. The exhibit also contains ancient and SEE WHALES, B18

Material Choices: When Building a Home When building a home, there are many choices to be made, from selecting your builder and architectural team to deciding what style of home you want. Once you have all this behind you, your project is in gear and you realize your choices have only just begun. Researching and selecting materials are
an important part of building a home. Material choices, whether compiled by your architect, designer or yourself, are crucial to a successful project. Building materials can be divided into categories. Working from the outside in, primary materials such as roofing, gutters, windows, doors, and exterior siding are all subject to choices that will define the overall look, quality and function of your home. Establishing the integrity of the home is the intent behind these choices. Simply put, when selecting these primary materials, functionality, longevity and durability are the ruling characteristics. The style of your home has already been defined and cost allowances have been established, but when you get down to
specifying materials, there are a myriad of products and costs to be considered. So how do you choose? Cost may or may not be your primary concern, but it is still an important factor. Where do you cut corners? Our practice at GDC Construction is NOT to cut corners when selecting these primary materials. Quality products that button up the home and will stand the test of time are a priority. Interior components including flooring, walls, and counter tops include a vast assortment of materials such as tile, stone, wood, metal, and composites. Architectural trim, cabinetry, hardware, fixtures and appliances are integral to the quality and style of the home but are not critical to the integrity of the structure. Interior materials do however reflect
your choices more overtly, and they visibly define your relationship to your home. This personal selection process makes for huge quality and cost fluctuations and should be carefully considered in the initial budgeting phase of your project. In our next column, we will talk about the criteria for selecting interior materials, sources for finding top quality materials at the best price, and purchasing practices, which will enhance the value of your property. For any questions or comments regarding your new build or any construction project, please contact us at www.gdcconstruction. com, or come see us at GDC Construction, 1031 Silverado Street, La Jolla, CA 92037 858-551-5222.

DEL MAR Attendees enjoying the event.
March Pet Rescue Adoption Event a big success
I
t was a glorious and successful day all around when (pet whisperer) Amy Bramy from the real estate team of Janet Lawless Christ & Co. at Coldwell Banker Rancho Santa Fe recently sponsored their second rescue pet adoption in collaboration with the Rancho Coastal Humane Society on the lush front lawn of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Puppies and senior rescue pets alike had the chance to meet locals and tourists from all around. Youngsters played and ran with the pups, while older dogs enjoyed the sun, warm weather and the loving arms of adoring visitors. Many adoption applications were taken from quite a few local families waiting to welcome their future furry family members. A couple traveling from Utah stopped by to take a look as they travel nationwide to photograph adoptable pets hoping to attract the right adoptive families. The rowdy boxer mix pup enjoyed frolicking with the children, wearing all of them out (much to the glee of their parents). And indeed puppies were matched with exuberant adoptive families. Amy and the team plan on sponsoring ongoing rescue events at The Inn, which is pet friendly and greatly supportive of all things pet-oriented. For more information or a calendar of upcoming events, please call Amy Bramy at: 858-705-0950 or check out the team website at: www.janetlawlesschrist.com.
