BY KAREN BILLING At the RSF Association board’s April 7 meeting, Rancho Santa Fe Association President Ann Boon addressed an issue raised by the public regarding the process surrounding a proposed condominium project at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Boon said the board wanted to thank the members who expressed concerns about the subdivision and related boundary adjustment submitted by Inn owner JMI — a petition signed by 200 residents requested that the item be placed on the agenda. The item was not on the agenda but Boon gave

a statement on the topic and the reasons why it wasn’t an agenda item during her president’s report. “This presents the perfect opportunity for your board to demonstrate the transparency we promised when we took office,” Boon said. Boon explained that staff began a review of all relevant minutes and agendas two weeks ago after a member reported hearing that approval of the project had not been processed as the Association’s documents require. “It appears that the concerns may have been well-founded and I emphasis ‘may’ because the SEE ASSOCIATION, A20

BY KAREN BILLING The Santa Fe Irrigation District is going through its rate-setting process right now and an eight-page notice was recently sent out to all customers on what is being proposed and how they can participate in the process — including how to oppose the increases. Santa Fe Irrigation District Manager Michael Bardin visited the Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting on April 7 as the district continues its outreach process on the proposed raise in rates. “We haven’t raised rates in three years and we currently have the lowest rates in San Diego County,” Bardin said. “I used to take a certain amount of pride in that but at this point that causes me some concern because as the cost of business goes up, we’ve been absorbing a lot of costs and wholesale water costs are going up. It’s critical now for us to raise our rates.” Not only is the district changing the rates because it needs more revenue, the structure of rates is also changing. While Bardin said it is a very complex and nuanced structure, in general, the increase in revenue that the district is requiring is about 9 percent. “That does not mean that everybody’s rates go up 9 percent, your rates go up proportional to your level usage, your meter size,” Bardin said. Due to changes in fixed and variable costs, some customers will see a very slight increase while others will see a large increase, he said. The board will consider taking action on the rate proposal at a hearing on Thursday, SEE HIKES, A22

RSF Association board addresses bylaw additions, deletions BY KAREN BILLING Covenant residents have until April 15 to weigh in on the changes to the articles and bylaws proposed by the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s governing documents committee. In light of confusion in the interpretation of many of the bylaws expressed by residents at

the April 7 RSF Association board meeting, the board will hold another town hall meeting on the topic in the coming month — a specific date is still to be scheduled. The committee is expected to finalize the changes for submission to the board on May 5 and the hope is the changes would be

voted on at the same time as the vote for the directors in May. “We want as much participation as we can,” said director Fred Wasserman, chair of the governing documents committee. “The process has been very, very transparent, we’ve had multiple versions, we’ve had multiple times

for comments.” The latest “redline” copy of the bylaws was distributed by email last week to residents who have an email address on file. The documents are also accessible on the RSF Association website through private member login. SEE BYLAWS, A23

Six candidates vying for three Association board seats And then there were six. The Rancho Santa Fe Association is down to six candidates for its upcoming elections as two candidates have dropped out in the last month. The current candidates for the three available seats are Rachel Laheny, Rachel Laffer, Janet Danola, Allen Finkelson, Kenneth Markstein and Terry Peay. John Rikkers and Richard Sapp have dropped out. The RSF Association’s Annual Meeting, where the community has a chance to hear from the candidates, will be held on Thursday, May 12. The ballots will be sent out that day and must be returned by June 13 at 5 p.m. The results will be announced June 29. The three seats up for election in May are currently held by Heather Slosar, Philip Wilkinson and Jerry Yahr. Their three-year terms are expiring at the end of June. — Karen Billing

RSF Association Board Biz BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT

Petitions and Procedures

efore our last board meeting, the board received a petition from members, requesting that an item be put on the agenda for our April 7 meeting. When some of the petitioners realized the item was not on the agenda, several of those members voiced their dissatisfaction during the meeting. Although I attempted to explain why the item was not on the agenda, some confusion still exists that I will try to clear up here. It is important to understand that items do not automatically get put on a board agenda because there is a petition or any particular request from members. The president and the board, with input from staff, set agendas, not members. The Davis-Stirling Act (California law governing homeowners associations) sets forth the legal requirements for putting proposed items on the agenda. It also sets forth other considerations such as privacy, confidentiality, the potential

for litigation, and issues concerning the human resources department that we must consider before any matter is placed on the open agenda and open for discussion between the members and the board. That an agenda item has been proposed by members, whether by petition or otherwise, does not require that the item be put on the public agenda for that reason. In this case, after consulting with legal counsel, we concluded that until we have had an opportunity to fully understand and investigate the cause and scope of what we believe is simply a procedural misstep, such countervailing considerations outweigh the prudence of rushing to a public discussion. Thus, the members who submitted the petition were interested in public discussion of a particular issue. The board appreciated their interest but, after further consultation with counsel, we determined that the item concerns issues that, currently,

should only be fully discussed in Executive Session. Therefore, with counsel’s assistance, we prepared an update on the issue for the board and the public, which I read in the open session. Members who wanted to speak were allowed to speak in open session but no discussion was held so as to avoid mention of any individual employee. I hope that clears up questions about petitions and agenda items. To summarize the particular item briefly here, the issue in question relates to applications submitted in the spring of 2015 by The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe for a boundary change and subdivision. The Association was recently alerted to a possible procedural problem with the applications and staff immediately began researching the issue. The CDRC apparently did consider both projects, but the identifying information for the affected parcels was not consistent and the documentary evidence in RSF Association files is unclear or incomplete. Most importantly, there is incomplete evidence of neighbor notification for the subdivision application. Because of this, RSF Association staff has reached out to the owners of The Inn, explained the problem, and secured their very willing agreement to turn the clock back and re-start the process. Notices to neighbors have already been mailed out and the new process is

underway. We want to emphasize that we believe that The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe is not at fault here and we very much appreciate their cooperation and willingness to re-set the clock on the project. Instead, this is likely a matter of Association record keeping. In addition to resolving this specific issue, staff is reviewing all applications processed during that same time period in 2015 to see if other problems exist. The board and staff are learning from the errors made in the process last year and are already taking steps to improve, streamline and safeguard our systems so that we don’t run into these issues in the future. In order to ensure that we are providing the Covenant members with good governance, this board is committed to adhering to the California Corporate Code in general and the Davis-Stirling Act in particular. We diligently educate ourselves and regularly consult with counsel who is highly experienced in this area of the law. Our next regular board meeting is May 5. On May 12, we will be holding our Annual Meeting of Members. This will be your opportunity to meet the six candidates running for the three open positions on the board.

Torrey Pines grad Rennie on short list for liver transplant BY JOHN MAFFEI Hours turn into days. Days morph into weeks. Weeks become months. And all Savannah Rennie can do is wait for someone to die. “I know it sounds kind of ghoulish,” Rennie said. “I’m waiting for an accident. I’m waiting for someone to pass away. It’s kind of sad.” But for Rennie to Savannah have life, she needs Rennie a liver transplant. A healthy volleyball star, the 6-foot-2 Rennie was the San Diego Section Player of the Year in 2014, leading Torrey Pines High to the Open Division championship. Ranked nationally as the No. 20 Senior Ace by Prep-Volleyball.com, she accepted a scholarship to Cal, left home early and arrived in Berkeley in the spring of 2015 to get a jump on the season. “After two weeks of training, we had Savannah penciled in as a starter,” said Cal coach Rich Feller, who has led the Bears to 12 straight NCAA appearances and has produced 16 All-Americans in 17 seasons. “She was dynamic, aggressive and super competitive.”

Back home over the summer, though, Rennie became ill. Nothing serious. The flu, maybe, with headaches, nausea, body aches and a fever. When the fever hit 105, Renee Rennie took her daughter to the doctor. Over the next eight days, there were four stops at urgent care and finally a trip to the hospital, where Savannah was found to have an enlarged spleen and liver. After a battery of tests over the next several months, Savannah was diagnosed with a rare illness called congenital hepatic fibrosis with portal hypertension — a disorder that impairs the basic functions of the liver. The disease usually presents itself at birth or later in life in the 70s or 80s. “Most infants born with this don’t come home,” said Renee Rennie, who along with Savannah has moved to Indianapolis because the time frame for transplants is shorter in the Midwest. “And it’s usually diagnosed in older people because other organs are shutting down. “This doesn’t happen to healthy 18-19-year-old kids. “We have come to understand death is a part of life. We’ve learned that organ donation can be such a positive thing. “We’d like Savannah to be a

Five weeks ago, Savannah was No. 25 on the transplant list. Because she has a high MELD score — points assigned to transplant candidates for age and health— she was moved to No. 9. Thursday, April 7, the family was told Savannah is in the No. 2 transplant position. “That’s so good, but so scary,” said Renee Rennie. “Every time the phone rings, we jump. Savannah has handled this like a trooper. She’s more mature than any 19-year-old I’ve ever been around.” Savannah must stay free of

illness, no colds or flu. She has been able to go through light workouts but no heavy lifting. “I was a workout warrior,” said Savannah, whose brother, Luc, played baseball at Torrey Pines and in the Baltimore Orioles system for five years. “I loved lifting. I loved working out, being active.” The family can’t stray more than four hours from the Indiana University Transplant Center, where Savannah is under the care of Dr. Paul Y. Kwo. Kwo is an associate of Dr. Catherine Frenette at Scripps Green in La Jolla, who had Savannah as a patient in San Diego. The two work closely together and with Elaine Garcia, the women’s volleyball trainer at Cal.

Garcia made a surprise visit to Indianapolis last week. To keep from going crazy, mother and daughter had plans for last weekend. The Purdue baseball team played at IU. Savannah and Renee planned to go see family friend Kyle Johnson, a senior outfielder who is the No. 1 hitter on the Boilermakers squad. Plus, there was a spring women’s volleyball tournament in Indiana. After surgery, Renee Rennie said Savannah’s recovery time will be around three months. Doctors want to monitor Savannah closely, so she’ll have to stay in Indianapolis. While Savannah was able to return to Cal in the fall for the volleyball season, she was forced to redshirt. The best-case scenario after surgery is a 100 percent recovery and a return to the team. The goal is to be back at Cal in the fall and be playing late in a season that ends in November or December. Feller said there is a spot on the Bears for Savannah when she’s ready. “When our doctors first told me of Savannah’s illness, I asked when she could be back,” Feller said. “Then Renee and Bill (Savannah’s father) were a little more direct. “We want her around our program, no matter what.

Mama’s Day event brings nourishment to those in need BY KAREN BILLING Mama’s Kitchen will host the original San Diego tasting event, the 25th annual Mama’s Day on Friday, May 6 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine. The fundraising event, held the Friday evening before Mother’s Day, features more than 55 chefs from San Diego’s finest restaurants, hotels and catering companies who graciously prepare delicious samples. Participating eateries this year include Snooze, Fig Tree Café, Saltbox, Solace and the Moonlight Lounge, Waypoint Public, Duke’s La Jolla, Hash House A Go Go, Cravory Cookies, Mia Francesca Del Mar, Betty’s Pie Whole, The Red Door and many more. The tasting event helps to raise critical funds for Mama’s Kitchen’s mission to deliver hot, nutrition-specific meals free of charge to local men, women, and children affected by AIDS or cancer. Last year, the event raised $176,000, which provided 57,680 home-delivered meals. Mama’s Kitchen’s mission, like some of the best recipes, is simple and uncomplicated. “These people end up with debilitating disease and in order to stay on a healthy path, it’s critical for them to be eating nutritious food,” said event co-chair Dana Black, a Rancho Santa Fe resident who serves on the board of directors at Mama’s Kitchen. The event includes a silent auction with emcee Clint Bell leading the night, reminding attendees why they are all out for the evening. A Mama’s Kitchen client

Event VIP tickets include early entry and an exclusive dining section with a hosted bar and a cooking demonstration with “Sam the Cooking Guy,” a longtime Mama’s Kitchen supporter. The event is presented by Nordstrom and hosted by Sycuan Casino. Black has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for three years. She has been a San Diego resident for 20 years, starting in Poway and steadily migrating west; her last move was the six miles between Del Sur and Rancho Santa Fe. Black worked as an analytic marketing

manager before taking time off to raise her three children. She decided to make a career change and went back to school at the University of San Diego (USD) to get her master’s degree in nonprofit leadership and management. After graduating in May 2014, she went into consulting. Black learned of Mama’s Kitchen while at USD — Mama’s Kitchen was a part of the “pracademia” program, where students essentially do pro-bono work for nonprofits in the community while in school. Black also served alongside Mama’s Kitchen’s executive director

Alberto Cortés on the USD Institute for Nonprofit Education and Research advisory board. Cortés approached Black after she graduated knowing that in the past she had only served on advisory boards and was looking for a chance to serve on a governing board for a grassroots group. “Mama’s Kitchen has been in San Diego for 20 years but it is really community-based. Eight-hundred volunteers actively deliver meals every year and board members are very involved in the process, I felt like it fit SEE MAMA’S, A22

State Senator awards The Patriots Initiative with the CA State Senate Certificate of Recognition California State Senator Joel Anderson recently awarded The Patriots Initiative (TPI) with the California State Senate Certificate of Recognition. This award was given in honor of TPI’s outstanding community service, recognizing its unyielding dedication to improving the quality of life for our active duty and veteran military families. TPI Chairman Greg Hillgren expressed gratitude for the award saying, “TPI’s entire staff has accomplished so much to improve the lives of our nation’s military families and veterans. These people really work hard at it, they’re passionate about TPI’s mission. So, it’s very gratifying to see the entire staff recognized for their unique accomplishments by the California Senate. Senator Anderson is a strong supporter of the nation’s armed forces and their many communities here in California; it’s terrific of him to recognize TPI’s role in this important cause.” The Patriots Initiative is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit that simplifies the philanthropic process for military donors and focuses on connecting Americans with the most trustworthy,

impactful and accountable nonprofits serving the nation’s armed forces communities. The Patriots Initiative’s Directory identifies the nation’s finest nonprofits, all of which have been thoroughly examined and vetted by TPI’s rigorous 8-point examination, have engaged in “best practices” and proven themselves to be effective, efficient and reliable service providers specifically tailored for active duty military families, wounded warriors and veterans. Not only is TPI the thought leader in military charity evaluation, but it is also the creator of the largest comprehensive lists of vetted military charities and American companies hiring and supporting veterans in the U.S. The Patriots Initiative’s foremost goal is to be a resource to empower philanthropic patrons. By donating to any of the four TPI Funds, donors are assured that 100 percent of their gifts are being directed only to the most impactful programs being run by the very best nonprofits doing the most good. To date, approximately $1.3 million in TPI grants have been made to support the nation’s Armed Forces members.

‘Dr. Bill’s Comedy Hypnosis Show’ to raise funds for track and field team Event will be held April 23 at CCA BY KAREN BILLING armel Valley hypnotist Dr. Bill Anapoell uses his method of rapidly-induced trances to both cure and entertain. Recently, he was hypnotizing a client over FaceTime to melt away fears and anxiety before the SAT test and next week he will be performing on stage in front of a hopefully large crowd at Canyon Crest Academy. “Dr. Bill’s Comedy Hypnosis Show” will be held on Saturday, April 23 at 7 p.m. in CCA’s Proscenium Theater. The show is sponsored by the CCA Foundation and will benefit the CCA track and field team. Dr. Bill is hoping for a great turnout at CCA — during the show he will explain the hypnosis process, crank the music and bring people up on stage to bring them deeper and down, “sloped down and melting away” and then perform a variety of fun routines and skits with them. As always, his shows are a fun, family-friendly, good time. Anapoell has been a resident of Carmel Valley for 20 years. His oldest son is a CCA graduate, his middle child is a junior at CCA and his daughter will be a freshman next year. “I think CCA is a really unique

school and we’re lucky to have it in the area,” Anapoell said. “They’ve taken lots of care to provide the students with amazing facilities and opportunities.” Anapoell is an associate clinical professor of medicine at UC San Diego and works at Scripps Mercy as a hospitalist. Prior to his current position, he spent nine years in private practice internal medicine in San Diego. His fascination with hypnotism began at a young age. “When I was a kid I got hypnotized at age 12 at a performance and I thought it was amazing,” Anapoell said. “I always wanted to learn how to do it.” He remembers being inspired watching the performances of Dr. Michael Dean, a longtime San Diego entertainer and hypnotist who died last year at the age of 90. “He hypnotized half of San Diego,” marveled Anapoell. As his life took off, his hypnotist dreams went deeper and down into Anapoell’s mind but about five years ago he became determined to fulfill his long-held goal and to perform at his son’s Grad Nite. Five-hundred hours of training courses later, Anapoell was doing hypnotherapy for clients as well as performing in stage shows. He said learning hypnotism was a lot about learning human behaviors,

might never even think of. In one case, a person was afraid to drive over bridges and needed help to be able to get to a new job in Coronado. With no background in performance or theater, Anapoell was never truly comfortable being on stage. Performing was just something he learned to focus his mind on. Since he started he has done a lot of public speaking, lectures and performances — one of his biggest audiences was an 800-person conference in Orange County. He’s done street hypnosis in Las Vegas and has performed at many high school grad nites, including his son’s at CCA two years ago. “There are people who want to be in the show so they play along,” Anapoell said. “But I want people to really be in hypnosis, in an altered state.” He said there are always people who resist letting the hypnosis process happen through self talk, distracting themselves with thinking or just not listening to what he is saying. But if you really decide to listen and follow what Dr. Bill says, there’s no reason you won’t be hypnotized. And you will be entertained. Tickets for the show are $10 for individual, and $25 for a family up to 4. Tickets can be bought online at goo.gl/gwMgS9.

Hypnotist Dr. Bill Anapoell will perform at Canyon Crest Academy on April 23. mind, motivations and all the things that keep people from being their best selves. He created his own unique blend of “rapid hypnotic techniques, neuro-linguistic programming and medical science.” “Our own human experience has taught us time and again that we can think ourselves sick…we can get ourselves worked up over a situation to the point that we are upset, paralyzed with fear, or reduced to tears,” Anapoell writes on his website sdhypnotist.com. “Fortunately, science has shown us that we can also think ourselves healthy. By entering the hypnotic state, we can reframe our thought processes to achieve goals, reduce anxiety and melt away fears.”

Anapoell said he uses hypnosis all the time at Scripps Mercy to help ease the nerves of patients, in just six or seven minutes of hypnotic induction. For clients, he uses hypnotherapy to help with phobias, pain, people anxious about heading into surgery and people looking to lose weight, stop smoking or prepare for an athletic event. Anapoell said it’s useful to be trained in both the therapeutic and performance sides of hypnosis because the second a hypnotist gets off stage they are bombarded with questions and requests for help on a multitude of issues. Anapoell said he has helped treat a wide variety of issues, some you

Shed a Light Foundation focuses spotlight on mental illness

RSF couple working with Scripps Behavorial Health to improve lives BY JOE TASH A Rancho Santa Fe couple is hoping their personal story of tragedy — losing their son to severe mental illness — can help create a happier ending for the stories of others afflicted by the condition. “It’s a story with a new beginning, and no end yet,” said Jim Bohlander, whose son, Barry, took his own life in 2005 at age 25 after suffering from acute schizophrenia for five years. Bohlander and his wife, Sheryl, have launched the Shed a Light Foundation, which is dedicated to improving the lives of those with mental illness, and also raising awareness about the impacts of mental illness on individuals and families. The Bohlanders are working with Scripps Behavioral Health, as well as carrying out other efforts, to provide resources and support for the mentally ill. On Wednesday, April 6, they hosted a reception at the Bridges clubhouse with Scripps doctors and staff, in an effort to get out the word about their fundraising efforts (see event photos on page A8). Among their initiatives is helping Scripps raise the $220,000 per year

needed to pay for a dedicated bed at a residential treatment center near Balboa Park, where patients can stay temporarily and receive care after leaving a psychiatric hospital, but before they are ready to live on their own or with family. Another program they have supported is called A-Visions. Scripps runs the vocational training program for mentally ill people who have been stabilized through treatment, and then places them in jobs within the Scripps Health system. Currently, 22 people are working in dietary, clerical and administrative positions, officials said. The Bohlanders’ fund was set up under the umbrella of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, which manages its assets. Jim Bohlander became emotional when he talked about his son, who began to manifest signs of mental illness in his late teens. Before that, said Jim Bohlander, his son “had the world on a string. He was just the kid you thought would take over the world.” The couple was living in Miami when Barry went off to college in pursuit of an engineering degree. But a year or so later, they got a call from

Shed A Light Foundation co-founders Sheryl and Jim Bohlander police in Louisiana, who told them Barry had suffered a psychotic episode and been hospitalized. He was later diagnosed with acute schizophrenia. For five years, Jim Bohlander said, his family struggled to help Barry by finding him treatment options, and trying to keep him on stabilizing medication. But the drugs had severe side effects, and his son would stop taking them. He battled demons such as a cacaphony of voices in his head. He finally succumbed, but before he died, said Jim Bohlander, his son wrote a poem, which ended with the line, “I am still me.” “I want to help these Barrys out

to succeed. They love coming to work.” After the Bohlanders moved to Rancho Santa Fe three and a half years ago, they began supporting Scripps Behavioral Health, and decided to revive their foundation late last year with the goal of raising money for the dedicated treatment bed in the Balboa Park facility. Through their foundation, they are also seeking to support other mental health treatment facilities, whether it means buying a needed vehicle or other piece of equipment, collecting clothes for patients to wear for job interviews, or assembling toiletry kits to make patients more comfortable during hospital stays, said Sheryl Bohlander. The foundation’s slogan is “providing care, security and hope for the mentally ill,” she said. “We just really want to help people with mental illness. It’s so prevalent, it’s so underserved,” she said. “It’s time people start taking care of this segment of society.” The couple’s big dream, they said, is to build a stand-alone treatment facility. “That’s going to be years down the road,” Sheryl Bohlander said.

there. They are special people,” Jim Bohlander said. Among the speakers at the reception was Dr. Jerry Gold, administrator of the Scripps Behavioral Health program. Gold said he and his colleagues are working to expand opportunities for those suffering from mental illness, from more treatment options outside of a hospital setting, to reducing the stigma that prevents those being treated for mental illness from pursuing meaningful activities, such as employment,. Kevin Wilson, who oversees Scripps A-Vision training and employment program, said, “It truly works. They have a tremendous drive

CCA Foundation Gala to be held May 14 The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s mission is to enrich the experience of every student every day, and with CCA enrollment at an all-time high, the needs of the students continue to grow. The Foundation’s goal is to go beyond traditional fundraising with the upcoming gala, “Venice: Unmasked.” Held on Saturday, May 14 at 6:30 p.m. on the CCA campus, the evening will include a magical trip to Venice with dinner, live entertainment, and the Venice: Unmasked show. Featuring collaboration between all seven Envision Arts disciplines, Quest STEM divisions, and CCA Athletics, the event promises to be an enlightening, entertaining, and educational evening for everyone attending. According to Executive Director Joanne Couvrette, this year’s event will be held on campus to minimize costs, allowing the Foundation to invest more into student programs. “Our goal was to create an event at CCA for CCA, ensuring that our money would be spent at the school, rather than an off-site venue.” By holding the event on campus, attendees also are treated to a more rich view into the programs that make CCA truly unique. The Dinner Reception help at CCA will highlight Italian cuisine from Ranch Events, including dinner, a selection of Italian desserts, and gourmet coffees. Attendees will be entertained during dinner by live entertainment, and then treated to the Venice: Unmasked Show, featuring performers from CCA Envision. The event also features an online auction. The auction will be open April 30 through May 8, and will include opportunities for travel, entertainment, camps, and wine. A VIP Pre Party will kick off the festivities at 5 p.m., at the neighboring Village at Pacific Highlands

CCA Quest’s Team 3128 award-winning robot “Keira Knightly.” Robotics demonstrations will be featured at the VIP Pre Party, May 14 at 5 p.m. Ranch.

VIPs can expect to personally drive Team 3128’s award-winning robot, just returned from the FIRST World Championships. Tickets are expected to sell out for this celebration, and are available now, along with VIP packages, Athletic and Proscenium Theater Plaques.

Air Force veteran turns birthday into benefit for ERASE Child Trafficking BY KRISTINA HOUCK Instead of blowing out candles, Del Mar resident Brian Raduenz recently celebrated his 50th birthday by raising awareness about child trafficking. “I wanted to get more involved,” Raduenz said. “This was an opportunity to kick start that in a positive way.” The March 19 birthday bash held at the Brigantine in Del Mar benefited ERASE Child Trafficking, a nonprofit organization that aims to eliminate child trafficking. Don Felder, a former member of the Eagles, as well as a magician and illusionist, performed at the event. Although sales from donated art are still being calculated, at least $5,000 was raised through donations and a silent auction. “To have someone like Brian, in his community and with his reputation, opens up our network. It also brings us credibility,” said Steven Resnick, co-founder and board chairman of ERASE. “Who better to pass the word about a cause? He’s a special kind of person.” Raduenz is the chief executive officer of Solana Beach-based Merlin Global Services, a company that specializes in providing tailored intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance services through flight

operations, sensor maintenance, training and engineering services. He has been with the company since 2008. Prior to joining Merlin Global Services, Raduenz served in the United States Air Force for 20 years. As a flight test engineer and program manager, he supported a variety of manned and unmanned aircraft acquisition programs. During two tours in Washington D.C., Raduenz served in the Pentagon with oversight of remotely piloted aircraft budgets, and as director of the White House Military Office for presidential contingency programs under President George W. Bush. In January, Raduenz learned about ERASE from a friend and former colleague in the military. “I was looking for a good organization to support in association with having a birthday party, so I got connected with them through a guy that I served with in the military,” recalled Raduenz, who received a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the U.S. Air Force Academy. He also earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology and a master’s degree in military studies from Air University. Resnick co-founded ERASE with Tony

ERASE board members: Tony Sparks (Vice JON CLARK Chairman), Catherine Marinis-Yaqub (Vice Chairman), Steven Resnick (Chairman)

Brian and Theresa Raduenz

Sparks in late 2013. Resnick has worked in the defense services industry for 17 years. Sparks, who also serves as vice chairman of the board, is an expert in leading child trafficking recovery missions. He spent 25 years in the U.S. Army, with most of his career assigned to special operations. Resnick, Sparks and other representatives from ERASE attended Raduenz’s party, where they shared their story. “It’s such a perverse problem. We’ve got to do more,” Resnick said. “We do education, we do recovery and we do reclamation to try to give back.” About 17,000 children are trafficked out of the U.S. annually, Resnick said.

Of the more than 11,800 endangered runaways reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in 2015, one in five were likely victims of child sex trafficking. Of those, 74 percent were in the care of social services when they went missing. “I just want people to be aware it’s a real problem,” Resnick said. “I just want moms and dads and kids to pay attention. This is a real threat. It can happen in seconds.” With many retired military working with the organization, Raduenz felt right at home and was ready to get involved with ERASE after he learned more about the organization’s mission.

Helen Woodward Animal Center is lucky to see new friendships formed every day as happy adopters go home with fuzzy forever friends. But it was the old friendship of an unlikely pair that touched the hearts of Center staff recently. Two recently relinquished pets, an 18-month-old female Shepard-blend named Ami and a 9-month-old female brown tabby named Mikaela, were reunited on Center grounds and the joyful reunion was proof that love has no bounds. Last week, Ami and Mikaela came to Helen Woodward Animal Center by way of long-time rescue partner VIDA (Volunteers in Defense of Animals). The group relayed the twosome’s tale and a hope that placement at the Center would help them find a home together. Shepherd-blend Ami (meaning “friend” in French) had immediately connected with the tiny tabby Mikaela from the moment the family brought her home, and an old photo left with the pair even shows them snuggling from their earliest days. Unfortunately, life-changing plans relocated their adopted family to a different country. Not wanting to put the pets through the long quarantine process, the difficult decision was made to surrender the duo to the rescue group. As if the sudden change of location wasn’t challenging enough, Ami and Mikaela’s distinct difference in size have kept them apart for the time being. A pen big enough for Ami has bars too easy for Mikaela to escape through and a pen small enough for Mikaela leaves Ami with too little room for her size and energy. Helen Woodward Animal Center recently

OUR READERS WRITE Vote Should be Delayed It was requested at last Thursday’s RSF Association board meeting that the vote on the proposed bylaw changes and additions scheduled to be mailed on May 12, along with the ballot for the election of three new directors, be delayed. It was also requested that a noticed community meeting be scheduled so our membership has the opportunity to comment on the final draft. Unfortunately, the information on the proposed changes was only sent to members who are on the Association’s email list and not the entire membership. These proposed changes and additions are not a clean-up effort to come into compliance with the Davis-Stirling Act; they are profound changes and additions which deal with our voting rights, committee rules, and much more. Within its language may lie repercussions not envisioned by the bylaw committee. The seriousness of this matter warrants more than letter-writing to committee members by a deadline of April 15! The proposed bylaw changes need to be further discussed and, if necessary, openly debated at community meetings so that an informed membership will ultimately vote on the proposed changes which effect us all. Marie Addario, PAST PRESIDENT OF THE RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION Jim Ashcraft, PAST PRESIDENT OF THE RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION

Groundhog Day or Life in the Covenant I am always interested to read the letters written by the older members of the golf club and the community. They’re always talking about how the Association is spending their money, when we all know they pay virtually nothing in Association fees and the people who’ve moved here in the last 10 years pay 80 percent of our operating budget. They focus on keeping things as they were 20-30 years ago. It’s obvious to some of us and I hope most of us, that we can’t keep things the same. There are more people, more automobiles and a greater need for technology and infrastructure. The golf club membership is only about 25 percent of the total population of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant. And recently only 15 percent of the people moving here have joined. These older members do not offer any solutions

to attract more golf members, tennis members or, for that matter, more home buyers. They just don’t want any change. Then, some old-time residents write about getting the community back together. Their meaning is for all the new people to agree with them. Well, maybe the community needs to get back together by addressing the future and not the past. Maybe the older residents of the community need to greet the new residents with open arms and accept that times have changed. We should all be concerned about the vitality of the Covenant, of the golf club, of the tennis club and of the community. Those who join committees merely to stop progress need to stay at home. Those who say “don’t spend our money,” need to realistically view how much they pay versus how much we pay. Progress is not found by living in the past. One day even those folks who are saying “don’t spend our money” and “don’t change anything” will wish to sell their houses or their heirs will want to sell their houses. The changes that are being proposed should make the values of all of our houses go up. And even if we’re not selling our houses, the things that are being proposed will make our lives better while we still live in our homes. We need to attract new people to RSF. They will want cell coverage, high-speed internet and a place to get together with their friends and their families. It’s time to look forward. It’s not April Fool’s Day but it’s not Groundhog Day either. Jim Boon, RSF COVENANT RESIDENT AND GOLF CLUB MEMBER

Do You Want to Know How Much Your Water Bills Will Really Increase? The eight-page “Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Proposed Rate Increases for Water Service Charges” mailed out last week to all SFID customers did not provide a comparison of proposed percentage increases. A brief review of the Cost of Service Study reveals percentages ranging from increases of 46.8 percent (those using 5 units or less) to actual reductions of –4.6 percent for approximately one-third of all Single Family Residences. The SFID mailing was not transparent in informing customers with lots larger than standard city size, (Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, Sun Valley area, Montecillo, and northeastern Solana Beach), that they could easily find their water bills increase by 15 percent - 20 percent or more in each of the three fiscal years for a combined increase of 45

percent - 60 percent or more. The Rancho Santa Fe Association website is posting a one-page summary of proposed percentage rate impacts, along with a simple written protest form. As a recent article in the Review noted, 50 percent of the customers, or 3,253 written protests, are required to block the proposed rate increases. Readers who do not have access to the RSF Association website can find similar information under “Water” articles at www.rsfpost.com. SFID customers — take a few minutes to understand the actual three-year financial impacts of the proposed rates, and then consider if you wish to exercise your rights guaranteed in the California Constitution and submit a written protest before May 19, 2016. The General Manager of the SFID has indicated the SFID will not do a mailing, completely at the expense of someone other than the SFID, which would provide you, the customer, with information showing you exactly how much your water bill will be.

Incomplete Bylaw and Governing Documents Amendments I have been involved in bylaw changes with many organizations. The traditional way to amend bylaws is to strike out words to be removed and underline words to be added. In addition, a rationale in italics is provided to help the membership understand the proposed change, unless the reason is blatantly obvious. The Bylaws Committee has not underlined content to be added nor provided rationale for additions or deletions. I asked if the committee could please use a different strikeout color to show changes necessary per Davis-Stirling. My request was denied. Some changes are to bring us in line with Davis-Stirling, but other changes are board or committee recommendations. We cannot tell the difference. Since no underlining is provided, I had to go to my Bylaws booklet to see what is being added. I found one change particularly disturbing. Three board members will be allowed to serve on any given committee, with the full authority of the board. There should never be three board members on the same committee, for the obvious reason that it puts too much power in their hands. Davis-Stirling prohibits collusion of board members. When three serve on the same committee, nearly a quorum of the board are colluding. And, should another board member

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) or the President drop by, then the open meeting law is violated. I would hate to see the “thousands of hours spent” bringing these amendments to us go to waste. I urge the Association to delay sending the ballot on these changes. Ask the bylaws committee to provide us color-coded strikeouts, add color-coded underlines for what is to be added and provide the rationale for each. The committee knows what those differences are; please share that with us. LAUREL LEMARIÉ

Solar Panels Ugly, Are You Kidding?! Have you seen a picture of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station? Now that’s ugly! (That plant was shut down in 2012 because of a leak, and now they’re burying the nuclear waste up and down our precious coastline over the next few decades.) The story “RSF residents say solar panels created ‘blight’ in neighborhood” is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. Since moving to Rancho Santa Fe two years ago, I have noticed something. The people here care deeply about other people, their surroundings, and based on this article about solar panels being “ugly,” I can see clearly that people here care about the future of their beloved town. But, doesn’t that beauty come at a price? And shouldn’t we care a bit about those to come after us? Natural gas is the primary way we get electricity here, and while natural gas is better than burning coal (emitting roughly half the amount of carbon dioxide per unit of energy as coal), it is still an incredibly potent greenhouse gas if it escapes into the atmosphere unburned. With around 9,000 solar permits a year being submitted, it is clear that San Diego residents want an increased emphasis on energy efficiency. Solar panels may be “ugly” but the truth is, they are everywhere, and for good reason. If you drive down almost any road in Rancho Santa Fe these days, and look hard enough, you will “be bothered” by the site solar panels attached to homes, and I couldn’t be more proud. These homeowners have stepped up and said, “Yeah, you know what, they may be ugly, but at least my grandkids will be able to enjoy the world as I did.” These homeowners know they are saving money, and saving the environment at the same time. They understand that it’s time to stop drilling oil wells and opening power plants that are deadly to everyone when an earthquake destroys them or they leak (which happens a lot more than never). The sun is overwhelming the Earth with incomprehensible amounts of energy each day, and intelligent homeowners are embracing this fact with open arms. Every time I drive past the row of solar panels that Mrs. Astier thinks should be illegal, I smile so big, knowing there is hope for our world. Let’s save the planet by helping all of our neighbors understand that while solar panels may be “a blight,” they are actually saving money, as well as lives of many generations to come. Let’s all take a look at a few photos of nuclear power plants to see just how ugly our alternatives are before creating a front page news story about an issue that actually is helping everyone.

Any former Greenwich, Conn., residents in RSF? I am writing to see if there are any former Greenwich, Conn., residents living in the Rancho Santa Fe area

served by your fine newspaper. My name is Charles Teichert Jr. My wife, Sandy and I, retired to the Ramona area in 2004 after some 65 years in Greenwich. A local realtor indicated that he thought several former Greenwich residents might live in this area. We were both very active in Greenwich government and local service and social clubs for many years. My hope is that anyone interested in contacting us to talk over old times over a cup or coffee or so, will please call me at 760-789-0566 or email at chastjr@yahoo.com. Many thanks, we love it out here! Charles Teichert Jr., RAMONA

RSF Association Bylaw Work for Naught? I attended the RSF Association board meeting on April 7. One of the items discussed was the proposed changes to our bylaws. This is a very complex subject and one of great importance to our community. Several members read questions about various proposed bylaw changes. These individuals didn’t seem to really understand what they were even asking. I got the impression that someone had given them a “script” of questions to ask. It appeared to me that some of the individuals that were addressing questions to Mr. Wasserman, chair of the Governing Documents Committee (GDC), had not read the governing documents/proposed changes. I wonder how many of the individuals who asked apparently scripted questions, have ever read the bylaws? There have been other changes to the bylaws over the past decade or two and they went “flying through” with few asking questions and/or issues raised. This current review by the GDC has been very detailed and done by individuals with a tremendous amount of relevant expertise, plus the proposed changes have been reviewed by outside counsel. One member indicated I had “insider information.” I was rather amazed and replied that the “insider information” I had was that I had actually taken the time to read the proposed bylaw changes, available on the RSF Association’s website! The members of the Governing Documents Committee (GDC) are: Fred Wasserman, Judge David Moon (Ret.), Allen Finkelson, Kris Charton, John Blakely and Mike Licosati. Except for Fred, a successful businessman, all the members are very experienced lawyers. They have invested well over a year in this project, on a pro bono basis. They sent out at least one draft before the current one, seeking member input and received very little feedback. They have held a community-wide meeting and it looks like they will hold another before the proposed changes go to the members for a vote. In the past, when there were proposed changes to the governing documents there was no effort to encourage members to provide input and the work on the proposed changes was done “behind closed doors.” The GDC meetings have been open and, sadly, very poorly attended by members of our community. It would really be a shame to see all of their work be for naught if members elect to vote down an incredible amount of very high-quality work-product. Maybe there is something I have missed but I have seen no evidence of a “political agenda” in their work. All I have seen is a huge effort, by some very talented people, who have tried to simplify some issues, bring the document into conformance with Davis-Stirling, and overall improve the quality of our governing documents.

FROM TRANSPLANT, A4 want her as a player. Two, we want her as part of the team. If that means being by my side on the bench until she’s ready, great. “Savannah has some really good friends on this team. The girls have face time with her at training table. It’s really uplifting.” One of Savannah’s best friends at Cal is sophomore outside hitter Ashten Smith-Gooden from Los Osos High in Rancho Cucamonga. The 6-foot-1 Smith-Gooden is a Type 1 diabetic and competes with an insulin pump strapped to her. “I never played with Savannah, but I played against her a lot in club ball,” Smith-Gooden said. “She’s one of the best I’ve ever seen. She’s athletic, strong and a dynamic leader. “Because of what I’ve been through, I made it my goal to make Savannah feel as normal as possible. What 18-19-year-old volleyball player hears she needs a new liver? “People felt sorry for me, but I’ve been dealing with diabetes since age 7. And I’ve managed it well. “My deal was nothing compared to Savannah. Hers was a shock. So I was going to help her in anyway I could. “I know when she puts her mind to it, she’ll accomplish her goal.” That goal is to be back on the floor and help the Cal Bears reach the NCAA Tournament.

Bruce Hochman, George Scott FROM ASSOCIATION, A1 investigation is not complete and because in follow-up questioning different committee and staff members have differing recollections of what transpired,” Boon said. JMI submitted two projects around the same time in the spring of 2015. One was a subdivision for 13 condo units, which included a boundary adjustment related to The Inn, and the other was a different boundary adjustment that related to a private residence. Boon said the Covenant Design Review Committee (CDRC) considered both projects but the identifying information for the parcels was not consistent and materials pertaining to one project were “intermingled” with materials pertaining to the other. The Association’s regulatory code calls for individual notice and a public hearing — Boon said it may well be that the notices were sent out on the subdivision application but the file doesn’t contain the necessary documentary evidence. “Because of this, the board has reached out to JMI and explained the problem and secured their very willing agreement to turn the clock back and resume consideration of their application,” Boon said. The submittal process has essentially been “recreated” – individual notices went out last week and the project will be discussed at the April 26 CDRC meeting. It is anticipated that the public hearing will occur at the May 5 board meeting. The San Dieguito Planning Group is expected to hear the project at its May 12 meeting. “We want to emphasize that JMI is not at fault here and we very much appreciate their cooperation and willingness to reset the clock on the project,” Boon said

Dagmar Helgager, Louise Nobel Boon said at issue is the matter of Association record-keeping. Once alerted to the problem, the board and staff have undertaken an effort to review all applications submitted in spring 2015. Boon said research is ongoing but at present there is no indication of a widespread problem, “rather this appears to be an isolated incident, likely arising from confusion regarding inconsistent identification of the project.” If the in-house investigation indicates multiple problems Boon said the board will consider appointing an independent investigator as some residents have suggested. At least one resident, Michael Magerman, said he felt that the Association’s error could not be corrected. He said that while he is a new Covenant resident, he would not be a resident for long. “It’s disappointing to me and almost unbelievable that you could have a project of this magnitude with this level of visibility and it’s the only one that somehow snuck between the cracks,” Magerman said. “I think that whatever the reason, poor operational control or being complicit in some sort of relationship with JMI or The Inn I don’t care, I’m listing the house.” Magerman said if the sale of his home is negatively impacted because of the “overhang” of a potential condo development next door, he would pursue legal action with the Association and the board. “It’s really upsetting to me and I don’t want to be a member of the community anymore,” Magerman said. Before Boon began her report, RSF resident Bill Hinchy interrupted her and questioned whether she was out of order in discussing a matter that was not on the agenda as the petition group had

Bruce Mace, Barron Hess, Carol Markstein, Tom Hess requested. Boon told Hinchy he was out of order to question the president and there was a shouting match between some members of board and Hinchy. Hinchy requested RSF Association counsel Mary Howell’s opinion; Howell agreed with Boon that Hinchy was out of order. During public comment, RSF resident Deb Plummer reiterated the petition’s request that an independent commission made of past presidents and CDRC members look at the project in an attempt to rebuild trust in the Association, especially following the cell towers incident (some residents were concerned when a draft of a cell tower agreement with potential tower locations was leaked to the public. After concerns were raised at a town hall meeting, the board sent its technology committee back to the drawing board to explore other alternatives.) “I want to be really clear this is not a referendum on The Inn or the project, however, it is a referendum about the Covenant process, the rules and therefore the board,” Plummer said. “It’s strictly about everyone having to follow the same rules and go through the same process.” RSF resident Lisa Bartlett spoke up on behalf of the board noting that every volunteer committee and board member in the community has to rely on staff. She said no one would have expected to receive information that may have been inaccurate or incomplete. “If there was an error by staff who is no longer even employed by the Association then I would say that perhaps it was an error but let’s give our board — past and future — a little bit of a break,” Bartlett said. Marie Addario, a past president of the Association board, said she agreed with Bartlett that the board does rely on staff for accurate information.

“The board is responsible for the staff, for firing and hiring staff, and I think this problem runs deeper than a mistake made by one employee perhaps allegedly. This has to do with the fact that we’re running this organization with a skeletal crew in that office, that we have virtually an Association that is not working and functioning representing the membership due to the poor administration of this board,” Addario said. “ I think this is not merely a surface problem, this runs much deeper and I hope that we will find solutions to this. I don’t know who is going to be running the election…I have no idea who will be doing that in the office because everybody’s gone.” As Addario referenced, both Manager Bill Overton and Administrator Daria Quay were not in attendance on April 7. According to Communications Manager Christy Whalen, both remain on leave. In response to the comments about a “skeletal staff,” Director Philip Wilkinson pointed out that the Association has hired three new staff members, including Tom Farrar, the new director of planning who has 40 years of experience in land planning. Brooke Nichols, the new operation and finance administrative assistant, has stepped up in the absence of Quay and Liza Pasko has been hired as a full-time human resources director. Wilkinson said the Association is fully staffed except for the new vacancy just announced the day before — Kirk Dakan, a senior building official who has been with the Association for 16 years. Dakan is retiring to Salem, Ore., to be closer to his grandchildren. “I wouldn’t call it a skeleton, I would actually say it’s the opposite,” said Matthew Ditonto, Association controller of the staff. “We’re finally operating as a business where we have the staff abilities to handle the membership demands.”

FROM MAMA’S, A5 with what I was looking for,” Black said. Mama’s Kitchen delivers three meals a day, seven days a week free of charge, even on holidays. Clients are referred to the organization by medical providers or caseworkers. “What always surprises me is the community need, that there are people that are struggling. We have a responsibility to make our community the best that it can be, which means reaching out to help,” Black said. “Everyone is entitled to the basic necessities of life.” When Mama’s Kitchen expanded its services to cancer patients, they found that while there were a lot of programs for seniors, there were not a lot of services for individuals under the age of 60. They serve a lot of women with breast cancer who are struggling to cook, work, go to chemotherapy and care for their children. While very active on the board, Black does deliver meals periodically and spent one Thanksgiving two years ago delivering meals with her then 16-year-old son Trevor. The pair delivered meals to seven clients in the Oceanside area over the course of four hours. The experience had a big impact on her son, who couldn’t believe the way some people had to live. It made an impact on Black too, when one woman with cancer was so happy just to have someone to talk to. They were feeding a different need as well. “You feel, in that moment, ‘I know I’m doing something good’. It’s amazing and the people are extremely thankful,” Black said. In 2015, Mama’s Kitchen delivered 284,925

FROM HIKES, A1 May 19 at 8:30 a.m. at the SFID offices. Customers can submit written comments up until that day. “It’s important for the district to continue to meet your needs but it’s also important for you, as a ratepayer, to understand that rates are going up and you need to weigh in on what you think and understand how it’s going to impact you,” Bardin said. In addition to the May 19 hearing, there will also be three community forums for the public to get more answers and to provide input: Thursday, April 14 at 5:30 p.m.; Wednesday, April 20 at 10 a.m.; and Tuesday, April 26 at 5:30 p.m. All forums will be held at the SFID office (5920 Linea del Cielo, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067). If a majority of the property owners in the district are against the rate increases (about 3,253 written ballots would be required), the board cannot move forward with the increases. Any homeowner can submit a written protest on the proposed rate increases, they just have to provide the location of their parcel by street address, parcel number or customer account number and include a signature of the property owner. Written protests may be submitted to P.O. Box 409, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067 or in person at the SFID office. E-mail or electronic protests are not valid. RSF Association Director Mike Licosati had questions about the settlement agreement reached last year between the Metropolitan Water District and the San Diego County Water Authority. The Metropolitan Water District, the wholesale water provider to the county, was ordered to pay damages of $188.3 million plus interest due to overcharging. “Have you considered, because you’re likely to collect a significant amount of money, to hold off on raising rates? You have a potential huge windfall…It seems like a huge pot of money that’s out there and maybe delaying raising rates now would make more sense,” Licosati said. Bardin said that is not what the district is doing. He said when all the appeals are completed, which could take a long time,

“I felt like it was kind of a combination between a good military-related thing but also a non-military problem — a problem that’s just rampant everywhere,” said Raduenz, who has been a Del Mar resident since 2011. He previously resided in Rancho Bernardo. “It’s a significant issue that I feel really strongly about.” In addition to the fundraiser, Raduenz has already talked with Resnick about other ways he can help the organization. ERASE plans to establish a state board of governors in California, and Resnick has already asked Raduenz to serve on the board. Raduenz has also brainstormed ways his company could collaborate with ERASE, including discounted or donated services. “We have some technologies and capabilities within the company that may help them do what they do,” he said. For example, Merlin Global Services works with wide area surveillance sensors, an array of cameras that can monitor an area over a long period of time. “If something happens, even if it was an

the money will be distributed to all water agencies in the county and at that point they will decide what the funds will be put to use for. The potential windfall that could occur some time in the future has not been a part of the district’s planning picture at this time, Bardin said. “We’ve used up all our reserves, we need to raise our rates now,” Bardin said. RSF resident Lisa Bartlett requested that the district make it easier for customers to object and even proposed a privately-funded mailer which detailed more information about how the increase will impact homeowners with larger properties. “I have absolutely no doubt that the water district needs to raise rates but it seems to me that the larger communities, such as the Covenant, Fairbanks Ranch, some in Sun Valley, Montecito and Solana Beach, are going to be unduly penalized for the rates that I understand are 9 percent this year, 9 percent next year and 9 percent in fiscal year 2018, which means a 27 percent increase,” Bartlett said. Bartett added that it looks like most of the people could actually have a rate increase of close to 11 percent and 25 percent a year. Bardin said he understands no one likes a rate increase but affirmed that the proposed rates are based on detailed engineering, financial and legal evaluations with the assistance of top experts in the fields. The district also went through a thorough cost of service analysis that is available on the district’s website. “I can assure you, the rates are allocated fairly,” Bardin said. “I’m going to advocate that we need the rate increase. If the Association opposes that and the members oppose that, the process is there to oppose it. I would encourage you to be thoughtful about that, read what we’ve got out there and take a look at what does it take to meet the needs, that’s what we’re trying to do. We truly are looking out for your interest and trying to do it the right way.” For more information on the rate increases and upcoming meetings, visit sfidwater.org hour ago, you can go back and you can see what happened during that time and fast-forward or rewind,” he explained. “So if a child was taken from an area where you had that system set up, you could potentially identify them or at least figure out where they came from or where they went.” Although based in Nashville, ERASE has an office in Florida and will soon have an office in Virginia. The growing organization is also hiring an executive director in the summer. And over the next 12-18 months, Resnick said ERASE is concentrating its efforts in California, Texas and Florida. “Those three states are known for their trafficking throughput,” said Resnick, who also recently hired someone in San Diego who will help lead the organization in the state. “They’re going to try and set up some things in California. They’re just getting started on that,” said Raduenz, who encourages people to get involved with ERASE. “They need all the help they can get.” For more about ERASE or to donate, visit www.erasechildtrafficking.org.

FROM BYLAWS, A1 Wasserman said although he is willing to hold another forum, he is reluctant to do so as they have not received any written comments thus far. RSF resident Marie Addario said she promised there would be a packed house if another forum is held. During public comment, several members expressed concerns about the changes. “When this goes before the members, it will go down in flames,” said RSF resident John Engalls. Engalls said the bylaws currently state in article nine that access to books and records by members can’t be changed without changing the bylaws. What’s proposed in the new bylaws, Engalls said, will incorporate a resolution 2015-109 of the board and then it goes on to say “as changed by the board from time

to time.” Another member pointed out that they tried to get a copy of 2015-109 and it was not available; Wasserman said it would be provided. “So what your committee is proposing to do is to take out of the bylaws access to documents and leave it to this board or future boards to restrict access,” Engalls said. Engalls said he is in favor of changing the current voting system and making properties vote and not people but under his interpretation, the Association will have to file an action with the superior court to modify a 1979 agreement that settled the Lillian Ritt lawsuit regarding voting memberships. Wasserman disagreed. “The committee researched the 1979 agreement very thoroughly with counsel,” Wasserman said. “We believe your position is not correct.”

“There was a lot of due diligence on this in terms of trying to match it with the Davis-Stirling Act and the California Corporations Code and we had thousands of hours on this thing,” Wasserman said. “The response I’ve gotten in general from the community has been very, very positive and the issue of getting equality in terms of voting we thought is very, very important.” RSF resident Suzy Schaefer expressed concerns that the redline copy addresses the deletions but does not address the many additions. She said that, as an example, article six, section two allows for the establishment of committees with three board members, which was an issue that members against the cell towers had a problem with. “It actually states that any such committee shall have all the authority of the board, this gives

the board even more power,” Schaefer said. Wasserman said that Schaefer did not interpret the bylaws correctly. Schaefer also took issue with another addition that if a board member sells his property he can stay on the board for nine months. “Do you really think it’s wise to have someone who doesn’t have a vested interest in the community making decisions for our community?” Schaefer said. Earlier in the meeting RSF resident Rory Kendall had asked Licosati to address a rumor questioning whether he still lives in Rancho Santa Fe or has bought elsewhere and is selling his home. “I am currently a resident of Rancho Santa Fe,” Licosati said. Schaefer said that if there are changes that must be met to be in compliance with Davis-Stirling, there should be two votes: One

vote with those changes and a second vote for things the committee “wishes to change.” Wasserman said that every section in the redline copy is marked with an explanation like “required by Davis-Stirling.” “If you’re concerned about a section, send the committee a note, ask us ‘is this required or not required?’” Wasserman said. “We’ve spent so much time on this thing and the committee put their heart in it, there have been 14 versions already. If something bothers you, bring it to our attention, we want to know about it.” Comments can be submitted by email to GovDocs@RSFAssociation.org or via mail to Comments, RSF Association, P.O.

Two esteemed concerts in La Jolla this week István Várdai/Julien Quentin

La Jolla Music Society’s Discovery Series continues with cellist István Várdai joined in the concert by the versatile French pianist Julien Quentin, 3 p.m. Sunday, April 17 at The Auditorium at TSRI, 10620 John Jay Hopkins Drive. Várdai plays a Montagnana cello from 1720, and has established himself as one of the most exciting young musicians of his generation. He is the recipient of many prizes at international music competitions, including winning the David Popper International Music Competition in his native Hungary three times (in 2000, 2003 and 2004), and receiving first prize at the ARD Competition in Munich (2014). Várdai has also appeared with several major orchestras and participated in chamber music concerts with acclaimed musicians. For the Sunday show, Várdai has programmed a selection of challenging and popular works for cello and piano that include Brahms’ “Sonata for Cello and Piano in F Minor, Opus 99,” Mendelssohn’s “Song Without Words, Opus 109,” and “Humoresque,” composed by the famous Russian cellist Rostropovich, alongside additional works by Dvorák,

Faulkner classic adapted in ‘Way Downriver’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

By Diana Saenger William Faulkner’s story “Old Man,” about a historic flood that ravages the countryside of the lower Mississippi, became a classic over time, digging deep into the human experience of dealing with the forces of nature. Edward Morgan, a writer of plays, cabaret shows and adaptations, has reformed Faulkner’s “Old Man,” renamed it “Way Downriver,” and North Coast Repertory Theatre’s (NCRT) Artistic Director David Ellenstein is directing the drama, onstage through May 8. “The story is essentially the same,” Ellenstein said. “The adaptation is much more theatrical, personal and opened up. In the ‘Old Man,’ the characters didn’t even have names. This is a great story and this adaptation is more accessible and audience friendly.” The “Old Man” is a metaphor for the Mississippi River, and the context of the play is the record-breaking great Mississippi flood of 1927 (still on record as the greatest natural disaster in the history of the United States). “It’s what happens to the people in this story, not the flood, which is just a backdrop and the catalyst for what makes the human interactions happen,” Ellenstein said. The play deals with honor, security, fate, irony, perseverance, and one’s choice of values — all tied up in one man’s journey. “This man is a mixed bag; he’s dealing with catastrophe and other human beings who are at odds with him, and what he has to

The cast includes new and returning NCRT actors: Richard Baird, Geno Carr, Benjamin Cole, Sara Fetgatter, Robert Grossman, John Herzog and Max Macke. “Way Downriver” has only been staged once before, three years ago at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, as part of its Southern Writers Project. As the second production, Ellenstein said he is extremely excited about it.

“It’s theatrical, funny, entertaining, jumps around, has music and is profound,” he said. “It uses actors in a good way in that they sometimes play double characters… and it’s cleverly staged as you have actors acting out the story at the same time someone is telling the story, which creates a fun dynamic. I’m really jazzed about this play.” NCRT’s 34th season is nearly over and in retrospect Ellenstein said he’s very happy with the results — NCRT inked deals

Grasset Collection masterpieces on view FROM SDMA REPORTS uropean masterpieces from the Grasset Collection are on exhibit through through Aug. 2 in “Brueghel to Canaletto,” at The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. The exhibition features 40 of the finest still life and landscape paintings from leading Dutch, Flemish, Italian, Spanish and German artists of the 17th and 18th centuries, which have never been displayed publicly. The “show” was made possible by a loan from the private art collection of the Grasset family of Spain, which Juan Manuel Grasset agreed to because of the connection he has established with museum director Roxana Velásquez and the prestige of The San Diego Museum of Art. Grasset was born in Madrid in 1927, a descendant of a family of French civil engineers who arrived in Spain about 1855 to build the railway system. He started collecting art in the late 1960s in Madrid, where there was a very limited, and somewhat tainted, market. The themes for art in Spain were mainly religious images or portraits of nobles and kings and Grasset liked neither. Spain was a

Under the dictatorship of General Franco, the nation was politically and economically isolated from the rest of the world.

Grasset Collection After discovering a new world of art during a visit to London, Grasset began purchasing works by Dutch and Flemish masters and bringing them home to friends and family who were amazed at the type of art they had never seen before. “These paintings represent more than flowers and still lifes – they convey the ephemeral nature of life,” said museum director Velásquez. “The works reflect a pivotal time in history as art became a more accessible commodity, and the masters of this period became more technically advanced as a result. We are thrilled to debut this exhibition in its entirety for the very first time and to share

it with the San Diego community and its visitors.” After the end of the exhibition, highlights will be on display at the museum for three years, providing an addition of 17th-century works to the museum’s collection. ■ IF YOU GO: The San Diego Museum of Art is at 1450 El Prado in Balboa Park.

Local doctor heals scars in more than one way through Angel Faces BY KRISTINA HOUCK As a dermatologist and a cosmetic surgeon, Melanie Palm often heals scars. But as a supporter of Angel Faces, a local nonprofit that runs retreats for adolescent girls and young women dealing with burns and traumatic injuries, the Solana Beach doctor helps people heal the scars on their hearts. “Anything we can do to positively impact these girls, who oftentimes experience and live through pretty horrific events, is life changing,” Palm said. “These girls aren’t defined by their burns.” A Cardiff resident, Palm opened her private practice, Art of Skin MD, in Solana Beach in 2012. Someone at one of the laser companies she works with told her about Angel Faces. Founded in 2003, the Encinitas-based organization offers retreats for girls ages 12-18, retreats for women ages 19-29, mentorship programs and post-retreat support programs. As a guest, Palm attended one of the retreats about five years ago. “I was just deeply touched,” she recalled. “I wanted to help these girls.” Palm started off by treating one of the girls who had some reconstructive facial surgeries. She has since volunteered at another

retreat and lectured at various events for Angel Faces. Last year, Palm joined the organization’s board of directors. “I became a doctor because I wanted to help others,” Palm said. “Angel Faces has the ability to fundamentally shape and change a young woman’s life,” she added. “This organization helps them with life skills and shows them their possibilities. The world is their oyster.” A Missouri native, Palm majored in biochemistry and minored in art

history as an undergrad at the University of Missouri-Columbia. At first, Palm thought she would go into orthopedic surgery, but after studying dermatology, she found her path. “I just fell in love with the field,” said Palm, who liked that dermatology involved internal medicine, pathology and surgical procedures. “I loved that it was such a visual field. I also really liked that dermatology is about establishing lifelong relationships with patients so that they can

maintain healthy skin throughout their lifetime.” Palm earned a joint medical and business degree from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and the Booth Graduate School of Business. She was awarded Intern of the Year and completed her dermatology residency at Rush Presbyterian-St. Lukes in Chicago, serving as chief resident in her final year of training. Palm later completed an American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery fellowship in La Jolla.

“I enjoy unveiling the best version of somebody, really being on a journey with someone,” said Palm, who also currently serves as a volunteer assistant clinical professor at UC San Diego and an affiliate staff physician at Scripps Encinitas Memorial Hospital. To help raise awareness and funds for Angel Faces’ upcoming annual retreat for girls, Palm is planning a private fundraiser at her home this summer. Additionally, the organization is holding its annual fundraiser, “Evening with Angels,” Sept. 16 at Cuvier Club in La Jolla. Volunteers and sponsors are needed. “I think it’s crucial and I think it’s life-changing for so many of them,” Palm said about the girls who participate in the retreats. “I think there’s so many ways in which Angel Faces really creates a framework for day-to-day life, but also creates a network of friends that have been through similar circumstances. Many of these girls are somewhat isolated because they might be the only person at school to have suffered such an injury.” The one-week retreat for girls 12-18 will take place June 20-26 in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Applications are available online at angelfaces.com. The application deadline is April 15. The retreat is free to participants.

The winning design for the 2016 Meneuhune art contest, which will grace event T-shirts.

Menehune Surf to turn Sweet 16 BY ASHLEY MACKIN Celebrating its own “Sweet 16,” anniversary, the Menehune Surf Contest for children and teens returns to La Jolla Shores 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday May 7. But over the years, the contest has evolved to become more inclusive and do more to give back. The event now includes divisions for parents and adaptive surfing for challenged athletes, and participants who entered the contest when they were little groms (surf slang for children) are coming back as young adults to volunteer. The one-day judged event for surfers 18 years and under includes Longboard, Shortboard and Novice divisions, as well as the crowd-favorite “Super Menehunes” division for those 6 years old (non-judged). Heat times based on age will be published Friday before event, and the deadline for entries is April 27. Entry fees are $30, $60 and $90, depending on age, number of entries and categories. The event is free for spectators. Named for mythic Hawaiian people, said to be “dwarf sized,” the Menehune Surf Contest includes a judged surfing competition, and a party with raffles and silent auctions to raise money for beneficiaries. This year’s beneficiaries are Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Friends of La Jolla Shores, Junior Lifeguard Foundation of San Diego and Natural High. “Years ago, the La Jolla Shores Surfing Association was just a group of surfers who wanted to get our kids involved in the principles of community and giving back, while enjoying and appreciating the ocean and surfing,” said contest director Stephanie Hoffman. To recognize the families that have taught their children to surf and encouraged participation in the contest, La Jolla Shores Surfing Association president Lorraine Schmalenberger said organizers introduced judged heats for parents a few years back. “The Shores is such a family place that through the years, we’ve started to see surfing families. So it occurred to me to get the moms and dads involved,” she said. The dad division

is called the DOG (Dads Of Groms) and the mom division is MOB (Moms On Boards). Since then, Schmalenberger said, “It’s been wonderful to see the tables turn so the kids can cheer on the parents. It’s also so fun to hear the kids talk up their parents and give them advice – its hilarious. It’s become very popular.” Last year, the contest added an adaptive category for those with injuries, whether they be a menehune or a veteran. In its first year, the adaptive standing and prone divisions were not judged. But this year, the challenged categories will be. “Through our connections on the beach, we learned veterans are returning from overseas, so we’ve noticed more surfing veterans,” Schmalenberger said. “A lot are amputees, but others have less visible injuries such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or brain injuries. Having them participate is a great way for our group to honor veterans.” Hoffman added there would also be division for children with injuries and/or amputations, with many signed up to participate. “It motivates the children to see someone without an arm go out and surf and have a great time,” she said. To help organize the event, Hoffman said she has the help of several menehunes who are not so little anymore. “We see the kids that started surfing in this contest when they were 5 years old that are now teenagers coming back to volunteer the day of the event. More and more, I get calls from them asking how they can help.” In recent years, she added, the contest has grown from around 20 to nearly 200 entrants and another 50-plus volunteers. For the last 10 years, LJSSA has also sponsored an annual art contest, to find original artwork to grace the event T-shirts. This year’s winner is Point Loma High School student Katrina Schwartz who received $100 for her winning design. The top 40 entries will be exhibited at La Jolla’s Riford Library youth wing until mid May at the 7555 Draper Ave. library. —More event information at ljssa.org

House of the Rising Suh lights up MCASD downtown LET’S REVIEW BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT o Ho Suh may not be a household name to most people, but he’s definitely a rising star in the wide world of museum installations and public art. And if you’ve walked around the UC San Diego campus, looking up from time to time, you’ve surely seen his piece, “Fallen Star,” one of the stars of the Stuart Collection — a small house tilted precariously on the rooftop of the Jacobs School of Engineering. Now more of Suh’s work is on view in a solo show at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s downtown location. Like “Fallen Star,” the exhibit highlights the artist’s preoccupation with the idea of home. Using translucent polyester fabric and slim stainless steel tubes, he has created an ethereal version of his New York City apartment, complete with major appliances, which visitors are invited to enter. It’s hard not to be blown away by the luminous, full-scale apartment, all pale pastels, with a flash of red staircase. Even the gallery’s security guard, Juanita Hayes-Vickers, couldn’t get over it.

‘Secret Garden,’ with video “It’s so wonderful, it tickles your belly!” she said. In contrast, the black-walled adjoining gallery displays individual specimens of fixtures in the apartment, offering a totally different experience, almost meditative. Encased, out of context, the softly-glowing, see-through toilet is an object worthy of quiet admiration, a miracle of detail, every tiny, stitched-fabric screw in its place. In a room by itself is the “Secret Garden,” a 1/16th-scale replica of the Korean home and garden Suh’s father built installed on a

mini-truckbed, as ready to travel as Suh is, with a video of its proposed Seoul-to-New York trip on the wall behind. But wait, there’s more: A selection of Suh’s works on paper, done in watercolor, colored pencil and multicolored threads, and a gallery dominated by the blueprints he made of his New York apartment — actually rubbings he did by taping sheets of tracing paper to the walls and rubbing blue pencil over them. “He’s kind of dissecting the place and re-assembling it, as in a dream,” said Kathryn Kanjo,

MCASD’s Deputy Director and curator of the exhibit. “He’s like a couturier, making clothes for the inside of the house. He has these two sides — tightly analytical architectural renderings (his brother is an architect!) and a dreamlike, playful sensibility.” Kanjo said she first met Do Ho Suh 10 years ago in San Antonio’s ArtPace, where he was working on a cyclone sculpture with a Korean house crashed into it that he called “Fallen Star: Lone Star Edition.” “He worked hard, made a lot of models; he was always busy experimenting,” she said. “When I came to San Diego in 2010, I was thrilled to find the project was in process here.”

I was thrilled to do a walk-through of the new exhibit with Kanjo, whose comments enlivened every piece. She pointed out Suh’s preoccupation with connections — the webs and paratrooper cords in his watercolors and thread-paintings, the fact that thread itself is something that connects us — and noted how often his paper works show corridors, doors and other things we travel through. She also mentioned that installation of the major pieces wasn’t easy: “It took 10 days to install the apartment,” she said. “We have no ceiling here; we needed struts and wires to hang it. And even the toilet was hard to assemble.” Originally organized by The Contemporary Austin, the Do Ho Suh show is terrific, a haunting look at the artist’s life and work that makes you see ordinary objects — like toilets and circuit boxes — in a new way. Don’t miss it. ■ IF YOU GO: The Do Ho Suh solo exhibition is on view through July 4 at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 1100 Kettner Blvd. Downtown. Hours: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed Wednesdays.

OPENS SATURDAY!

MADAMA BUTTERFLY (AP PHOTO/MARTIN DOKOUPIL) THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

California Chrome, from the U.S. and ridden by Victor Espinoza, crosses the finish line to win the U.S. $ 10,000,000 Dubai World Cup horse racing at the Meydan Racecourse in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Saturday, March 26, 2016.

Del Mar faces price increase for Chrome BY JEFF NAHILL The price tag has been set for California Chrome to run in Del Mar’s Pacific Classic this summer: $2 million. “The Pacific Classic is on our agenda,” said Art Sherman, California Chrome’s trainer, “but we hope they raise the purse to $2 million. That would get us there. “There are a lot of other tracks out there that want us.” The Grade I Pacific Classic, scheduled for Aug. 20, has a purse of $1 million. A purse increase would take some negotiating with the Thoroughbred Owners of California. “The horse is certainly worth it,” said Joe Harper, president and CEO of Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “Now the question is whether we can afford it. We’ll have to see. We’d love to have him. Maybe I can get Art down to $1.5 million.” California Chrome is coming off a victory last month in the $10 million Dubai World Cup, his third win in as many starts this year. The 5-year-old horse was named Horse of the Year in 2014 after winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness as a 3-year-old. He sealed the title that November with a victory in the Hollywood Derby on Del Mar’s Jimmy Durante Turf Course. His only other races at Del Mar came the previous year on the track’s old synthetic surface: He won the Graduation Stakes before finishing sixth in the Del Mar Futurity. California Chrome is currently the No. 1 -ranked thoroughbred in the country, if not the world, after his win in Dubai. Ever since the race, Del Mar representatives have been talking to Sherman and his owners about running at the seaside oval. “Absolutely, he’s the best handicap horse in the country,” said Sherman, who once trained horses for Harper. “I think this is going to be a really big year for him, and it already has been, but it could be even more.” The Chrome camp has stated its ultimate goal is the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita and that the horse would only run maybe two or three times the rest of the year. Right now, California Chrome is on a farm in Kentucky for some rest and relaxation. “I’m anxious to get him back,” said Sherman, who added he thinks the horse will return to his

barn at Los Alamitos Race Course on or about May 7. “I’ve seen some pictures of him and he looks like he has put some weight back on.” Sherman said he is unsure if Chrome would need a prep race going into the 11/4-mile Pacific Classic. Del Mar officials have talked to Sherman about possibly running in the 11/16-mile San Diego Handicap on July 23. Sherman brought up the possibility of prepping on the Del Mar turf course in the 11/8-mile Eddie Read on July 17. “He’s run and won on that grass course before,” said Sherman. “I do want to get him back here and see where we are with him.” So Del Mar could end getting a 2-for-1 deal with Chrome. The Pacific Classic could shape up as the top race this summer nationwide. The brilliant mare mare Beholder, who beat the boys in last year’s Pacific Classic, has returned to training and is being pointed for a comeback race next month at Santa Anita. Her connections are also expected to entertain thoughts of a repeat at Del Mar with the ultimate goal of the BC Classic, a race she was entered in last year against Triple Crown winner American Pharoah but had to scratch due to a fever. “That would be great,” said Sherman of running against Beholder at Del Mar. “It would be standing room only.” Said Harper: “No doubt about it to have both of them in the Pacific Classic would be an amazing race. It would be a track operator’s dream. I think if they’re willing to do it, there’s a deal to be made.” Last year, the Pacific Classic had its lowest all-time attendance as the race was held on a Saturday against a Padres’ home game and Chargers’ exhibition game on television. Even though the race is on a Saturday this year against the same competition, Del Mar thinks California Chrome alone would increase attendance immensely. “It would be huge,” said Tom Robbins, Del Mar’s executive vice president, racing and industry relations. “California Chrome’s popularity is second to none. He brings a lot of people and enthusiasm no matter where he runs. It would be massive at Del Mar. We are keeping our fingers crossed and we’re doing everything we can to get him to stay in California to race.” Jeff Nahill is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Local author releases new book on RSF architect Lilian Rice

ward-winning author Diane Welch has released a new book, “The Life and Times of Lilian J. Rice, Master Architect (Schiffer Publishing, December 2015). Depression-era California master architect Lilian J. Rice left behind homes rich in innovative architectural craftsmanship, both retreats of beauty for those who lived in them, and now markers of great historical significance. Architect to some of the nation’s wealthiest achievers in the first half of the 20th century, Lilian Rice has posthumously become a controversial figure. A woman in a man’s world, she was given an unprecedented opportunity in 1923 when her employer asked her to oversee the design of Rancho Santa Fe, a Southern California master-planned community catering to the rich and famous. In recent years, critics have depicted her as deceptive, leading her clients in Rancho Santa Fe to believe she was a licensed architect, to gain their trust and lucrative commissions. Did Lilian Rice misrepresent herself on her way to architectural fame, or is she being unfairly labeled to discredit and devalue the work? Despite the controversy, 11 of Lilian Rice’s homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places,

scores more are county landmarks, and several garnered her honor awards from the American Institute of Architects. This book uncovers the truth about the obscure architect, introduces her clients that include some of Hollywood’s brightest stars, and tells of the exciting times in which she lived. Through a decade of investigative research, and scores of interviews, Welch has “produced an accurate, engaging account of the life and times of the obscure architect, those who entered into her world, and the zeitgeist of her era. Through the genre of literary journalism, Welch combines her memoir, the biography of Rice, and the recollections of locals to produce a fascinating volume that will have readers riveted. The book’s foreword was written by Audrey Geisel, president of the Dr. Seuss Foundation, and testimonials include praise from Dame Zandra Rhodes, Jenny Craig and Paul Ecke III.” Welch, a Solana Beach resident, is an award-winning author, reporter and local historian. Her last book, Lilian J. Rice, Architect of Rancho Santa Fe, California [Schiffer 2010], took top honors at the 2011 San Diego Book Awards in the biography category. Welch is a former freelancer writer for this newspaper.

Welch will discuss her book at the Rancho Santa Fe Library on Thursday, May 19, at 11 a.m. Visit DianeYWelch.com to learn more. Unsigned copies of the book are available through Schiffer Publishing at www.schifferbooks.com and signed copies of the book can be obtained via email at dianeywelch@gmail.com or through facebook www.facebook.com/LilianJRice/ — Submitted press release.

San Diego Chargers Defensive End Corey Liuget; Casa de Amparo Executive Director Tamara Fleck-Myers, LMFT; Union Bank Regional President Robbin Narike Preciado; and San Diego Chargers Director of Public Affairs & Corporate/Community Relations Kimberly Layton pause for a photo after Union Bank and the San Diego Chargers presented $15,000 raised through the Game Changers program to Casa de Amparo.

Casa de Amparo leads the charge for Child Abuse Prevention Month Casa de Amparo kicked off the first full week of Child Abuse Prevention Month by hosting its 3rd Annual Come Home to Casa event and receiving a $15,000 gift from Union Bank and the San Diego Chargers as the beneficiaries of the Game Changers Program. April is National Child Abuse Prevention month and Casa de Amparo is encouraging all individuals and organizations to play a role in making San Diego County a better place for children and families. “April is a time to celebrate the important role that communities play in protecting children,” said Casa de Amparo Executive Director, Tamara Fleck-Myers LMFT. “Everyone’s participation is critical. Focusing on ways to build and support children and families in our care goes a long way toward preventing child abuse and neglect while simultaneously promoting optimal child development.” Now in its third year, Come Home to Casa is an open house event, where Casa de Amparo invites the community to visit the organization’s San Marcos campus and learn more about Casa de Amparo’s programs and facilities. Community members toured the 11.4-acre campus, signed the Casa Kid’s pledge wall, enjoyed refreshments, and participated in Come Home to Casa’s annual supply drive

by donating Casa de Amparo wish list items. Before the festivities began, Executive Director Tamara Fleck-Myers was invited down to Chargers Park to accept a $15,000 donation from the San Diego Chargers and Union Bank as the recipient of the 2015 Game Changers Program, which invited fans at Chargers home games to donate their loose change and bills in support of Casa de Amparo. Total donations were matched by the Union Bank Foundation and the San Diego Chargers resulting in $15,000 donation. After its third consecutive year, the Game Changers Program has contributed more than $45,000 to non-profits in the San Diego region. “Casa de Amparo is thankful to the San Diego Chargers and Union Bank for supporting our mission through the Game Changers campaign,” said Fleck-Myers. “Every dollar donated makes a huge difference in our initiatives to stop child mistreatment of any kind and end generational cycles of abuse. With your support, our goal is to create a community where child abuse and neglect are not tolerated, and families can thrive.” Community members who would like to play a meaningful role in preventing and treating child abuse and neglect can contact Kathy Karpé, Director of Development at (760) 754-5500 or kkarpe@casadeamparo.org.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - APRIL 14, 2016 - PAGE B19

Frontline Cancer SCOTT M. LIPPMAN, M.D.

Research links lack of sleep and cancer biology

leep is the best meditation, says the Dalai Lama. It may also be the best medication. Sufficient sleep – seven or eight hours each night – is important to healing, proper immune function and mental health. Inadequate sleep has been associated with a host of ailments, from obesity and diabetes to stroke and heart disease. Add cancer to the list, particularly breast, prostate and colorectal. A 2014 study, for example, found that women who suffer chronic lack of sleep are more likely to develop more aggressive forms of breast cancer or experience recurrence. Another 2014 study reported that men with insomnia have a twofold greater risk of developing prostate cancer. And a 2010 study, which examined the sleep quality of persons prior to undergoing a colonoscopy, found a 50 percent increased risk of colorectal cancer in those who slept less than six hours per night. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder involving disrupted nocturnal breathing that results in fragmented sleep. It is estimated to affect at least 13 percent of men and 6 percent of women, with prevalence growing as the population becomes more obese (a major cause of OSA). Not surprisingly, OSA is already associated with heightened cardiovascular problems, such as

arrhythmias, systemic hypertension and myocardial ischemia. In addition, there are neurocognitive consequences, such as excessive daytime sleepiness, poor job performance and greater risk of accidents. But emerging evidence suggests OSA increases cancer risk as well. For example, epidemiological studies have found that persons with untreated, severe OSA have a greater risk of developing cancer than those without OSA. These studies report that cancer patients with solid tumors, such as colorectal, lung, pancreatic or liver, and severe untreated OSA have a five-fold greater risk of dying earlier from cancer than those without OSA, due to the repetitive swings in the patient’s blood oxygen levels as the result of the untreated apnea. In a mouse study, animals with melanoma that undergo conditions that simulate OSA experienced larger or more aggressive tumors. Recently, with support from Peter Farrell, Ph.D., founder and chairman of ResMed, a maker of diagnostic and therapeutic devices related to sleep disorders, Atul Malhotra, M.D., chief of the division of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine, and I hosted a two-day symposium with participants from UCLA, Boston University, Stanford, Duke, Johns Hopkins and the Sanford Burnham Cancer Center. The goal was to

make connections, share notes and begin to define a scientific path toward better understanding the link between sleep and cancer and therapeutic remedies. Attending and presenting were some of the recognized experts in this budding field: Paul E. Peppard, Ph.D., associate professor of medicine at University of Wisconsin-Madison and a sleep epidemiologist whose work was among the first to note the link between OSA and cancer; David Gozal, M.D., chief of pediatrics at University of Chicago, whose work has involved the mentioned mouse studies; and Avirum Spira, M.D., of Boston University, who recently published a study in the New England Journal of Medicine on biomarkers of cancer risk. From UC San Diego were Pablo Tamayo, Ph.D., co-director of genomics and computational biology at Moores Cancer Center, Lyudmila Bashenova, M.D., associate clinical professor of medicine; Kathryn Gold, M.D., associate professor of medicine, Robert Owens, M.D., associate professor of medicine and Mark Fuster, M.D., associate professor in residence. Highlights from the symposium will be published for further dissemination in the scientific community. And with added support from Farrell, seed money will soon be made available to jump-start the science of sleep and cancer here. Given the local talent, leadership and financial support, UC San Diego has the potential to become a leader in tackling the fundamental questions about sleep and cancer biology. This is a wake-up call and a call to action. —Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in the La Jolla Light each month. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ucsd.edu

Five things to know about total joint replacement BY CHRISTOPHER HAJNIK, MD Not only can pain in your hip or knee joints keep you from enjoying your favorite sports, it can interfere with simple everyday activities such as walking, bending, climbing stairs and even sleeping. For some people, medications, physical therapy and other treatments help relieve pain, but often that relief is only temporary. When that happens, it may be time to consider joint replacement. If you’re living with debilitating hip or knee pain caused by arthritis, joint replacement surgery can eliminate your pain and improve your mobility. Joint replacement surgery has come a long way in recent years, and hip and knee replacement is easier, safer and more effective than ever before. Here are five of the most common questions our patients have about total joint replacement surgery: What happens during joint replacement surgery? Using state-of-the-art medical equipment, the surgeon replaces your damaged joint with an artificial joint (called an implant) with outstanding precision and accuracy to mirror your natural anatomy and movement. The

surgery itself can take one to three hours. Why is joint replacement surgery so much better than it used to be? Both the technology used in joint replacement and the surgical techniques have greatly improved. The implants used in hip and knee replacement today are stronger and last longer, so they can keep you moving comfortably for up to 20 years. In many cases, minimally invasive surgical techniques mean smaller incisions, less discomfort, a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery. How long will I be in the hospital? You can expect to be in the hospital for one to two nights. You’ll start moving and walking as soon as the day of surgery. You will begin physical therapy in the hospital, and your physical rehabilitation specialist will develop a personalized therapy plan for you to follow after you are discharged to help you gain the strength and mobility to do the activities you enjoy. You may spend a few days in a physical rehabilitation center after you leave the hospital, or you may have physical therapy in an outpatient center or at home. What can I expect after joint replacement surgery?

Hip and knee replacement surgery results are usually excellent. Most or all of your pain and stiffness should go away, and your ability to move freely should improve greatly. Most patients are able to resume all of their usual activities – and do them without pain. If you participate in sports, the type of activity makes a difference. You will likely be able to do low-impact activities such as swimming, cycling and golfing sooner than tennis or snow skiing. Full recovery will take several months to a year. What qualifications should I look for in an orthopedic surgeon? Where your joints are concerned, experience matters. Hospitals with a high volume of joint replacement patients have been shown to have better results. The same can be said for high-volume orthopedic surgeons specializing in joint replacement. If you’re ready to live without hip or knee joint pain, find out if joint replacement surgery is right for you. For more information visit www.scripps.org/CNP or call 858-207-4317. Dr. Hajnik is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement at Scripps Health.

Home Interiors—Choosing your Materials from the Ground Up In our February column we discussed what to consider when purchasing materials such as windows, doors, rooﬁng, siding, and landscaping materials for the exterior of your building project. Today, as we move inside and continue our review of building materials, the selection process shifts from the criteria of primary function, style and quality to a set of more intimate decisions. Because interior materials are more about you, the decision making

process becomes more personal and therefore more complex. Decisions, both large and small, influence cost, style, and quality when selecting surface materials for flooring, countertops, and walls. Appointing architectural details, such as moldings, staircases, railings, built-in bookcases, and entertainment centers are details integral to the structure, while fixtures, cabinetry, appliances, and hardware are part of the furniture that will influence your overall budget and stylistic outcome of your home. Cost, style, and quality are three of the many factors that come into play when shopping for materials for your home building project, and it is best to plan carefully for this in your initial budget, as there are broad differences in prices for these materials. Our strategy at GDC is to appoint the entire project prior to breaking ground. Creating allowances in this design stage is critical to maintaining your budget and will provide for a cohesive design and smooth schedule. Whether your project is a traditional or contemporary designed home, the material choices that

contribute to the overall style of your home are endless. So let’s start from the ground up and pose the question. How does one choose a floor surface? When shopping for flooring of any kind, you can visit showrooms to view completed floor sections and take samples home for review. This is true of wood, stone, tile, and laminate flooring, which all come in different surface finishes, colors, species, and price points. Characteristics vary dramatically with flooring, but durability, scale, and pattern are key factors to consider when appointing this material throughout the home. Today many homeowners are electing to put wood in the kitchen areas, as a continuum of the living room; however, tile and stone surfaces are more commonly used for their durability. Depending on your preference, tile and stone materials come in multiple sizes, finishes, and colors. There are many options to choose from, and these materials are often tied into wall and countertop selections in the bath and kitchen areas. A primary design consideration when selecting a floor, no matter

what material you choose, is the pattern. Wood planks come in sizes from 2 – 8” wide by 4’ – 10’ in length. Engineered wood, which is a 1/8” veneered wood species adhered to a board, comes in board lengths and can also be selected in a variety of patterns, such as herringbone, parquet, Versailles, and other decorative designs. Tile and stone flooring are typically found in a square format, although oblong, rectangular, and decorative shapes are also available. Here the application, size, and configuration of the room play an import role in the selection process. Scale is also an important characteristic to consider when selecting materials for your floor. Depending on the room, flooring should be considered as the base of your interior design, and the proper scale of decorative pattern, size, and shape are critical. In our next column, we will look at how interior architectural features contribute to the overall design and look of your home. For further information you are welcome to call us at 858-551-5222.

Kitchen Shrink’s Key Lime Blisscotti

In the limelight with lemon’s close cousin

he produce aisles are popping with mounds of vibrant emerald citrus — lemon’s petite and lively relative. Limes pack a bitter lip puckering punch, more acidic with less sugar than lemons, while enjoying their own flavor profile. Growing up I didn’t cotton to this green beauty as my dad always slathered on a sickeningly sweet lime-scented after-shave lotion that made the real fruit off-putting to me. Years later, I’ve embraced this sassy citrus to dial up everything from salsas, ceviches, stir fries and rice dishes to cocktails, mocktails and key lime cookies and pies. Here’s a primer on this zippy little squirt. The Lime’s Lineage Limes are natives of Southeast Asia with probable origins in Indonesia. Arab traders transported these green gems to eastern Mediterranean climes in the 900’s. From there, limes trickled into Spain via the Arab Muslim Empire, where they were cultivated throughout Europe. Columbus has been credited with bringing limes to the West Indies, while Spanish explorers introduced them to Florida, still a major lime producer today, along with Mexico, Spain and India. Juice It Up Lime’s best asset is its immune boosting Vitamin C load. This was recognized by the British Royal Navy in the early 1800s. Sailors were given a daily ration of lime or lemon juice

added to their grog (diluted rum) to ward off scurvy, bringing about the moniker “limey.” Limes also have a rich store of Vitamin A for skin and ocular health, calcium and phosphorus to amp up bone strength, potassium for fluid balance, magnesium to ratchet up energy, while maintaining the heart and blood vessels, folate for normal cellular development during pregnancy, and important trace minerals, including zinc, selenium, and copper. Key to Success The Persian or Tahitian lime, a hybrid cross, closely resembles a lemon in shape, but usually slightly smaller with a delicate green rind, and a seedless, redolent light green pulp. The Key lime (also called Mexican or Bartender’s lime) from Florida is smaller and sourer than its lime sibling, rounder in shape with yellow nuances in its thinner skin, along with seeds. When picking limes choose smooth, glossy, supple-skinned ones without blemishes, shriveled rind or brown spots. They should have good heft, be firm, but also yield to pressure. Your Main Squeeze Spunky and refreshing, the lime’s peel or zest, juice, pulp and even leaves are attention grabbers in a wide range of drinks, dishes, and condiments in various ethnic cuisines. Limeade, flavored sparkling lime water, margaritas and gimlets quench a parched thirst, while lime

■ Ingredients: • 3 eggs • 1 cup of white cane sugar • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil (I prefer grape seed or safflower) • 1 tablespoon of fresh squeezed Key lime juice • Zest from 2 Key limes • A few drops of vanilla or almond extract • 3 cups of unbleached flour • 3 teaspoons of baking powder • A pinch of salt • 1 teaspoon of Key lime liqueur/schnapps (optional) • 1 cup of chopped, toasted nuts (pecans, macadamias, almonds, your choice) ■ Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Add the oil, extract, liqueur and twists, wedges or slices make eye popping garnishes to cocktails and beers. Use lime to dial up risottos and pastas, taboulis and stir-fries, grilled chicken and wild caught salmon, halibut and sea bass. Perk up corn and green salads and slaws, salsas and seafood cocktails with chile-lime dressings. Grate zest into cookies, cakes, quick breads, cheesecakes, scones, pancakes, jams and preserves. Or whip up the iconic Key Lime Pie, a

juices. In a separate bowl, combine remaining dry ingredients. Blend the flour mixture with the egg mixture gradually until it forms a dough ball. On a parchment-lined cookie sheet, form four oblong loaves. Bake 20-25 minutes. Remove the loaves and cut into slices, 1-inch wide. Return to the cookie sheet, placing the fingers sideways. Bake for another 10 minutes or until golden brown, turning the biscotti mid-way. Serve with coconut ice cream or citrus-flavored gelato or sorbet. — For more lime recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Floridian concoction that is beloved worldwide. Cook’s Tips Like lemon juice, squirt lime juice on fresh cut fruits like bananas,apples and avocados to prevent oxidation or browning. For the sodium-conscious, use lime juice as a salt substitute.When juicing limes, store at room temperature, and roll several times with your palm against a hard surface to increase the juice yield.
