Neighbors expressed concerns about a step-down housing project on Calzada del Bosque progressing at the county level.

The parcel, once considered by the Rancho Santa Fe School District for a new campus, was purchased by Larry Mabee in 2007 with plans to build a horse-breeding facility. Mabee passed away in 2013 and Golden Eagle Land Investment and the Mabee family trust began exploring development options, including the proposed Rancho Librado project. The preliminary designs for Rancho Librado consist of 55 age-restricted units and four custom estate lots that would serve as a buffer between the adjacent property owners. The plan also included 5 acres of open space with ponds, gardens and walkways and for the large home on the property to be converted into a community center for the units. The 28-acre parcel on Calzada del Bosque lies within the RSF Association and the County of San Diego; approximately 50 percent of the property is in the Covenant. The RSF Association has zoned the property as Class C for multiple dwellings; however, the land within the county has a more SEE PROJECT, A24

We want to be responsible citizens and good caretakers of the earth. That’s part of our commitment as Catholics,” Cathedral Catholic President Stevan Laaperi said. “The savings we realize as a result of going solar will reduce our energy costs and help keep tuition increases to a minimum. This will enable broader community access to the amazing education we provide here at Cathedral Catholic.” The Catholic Diocese of San Diego had asked Cathedral to look into solar as a possibility, particularly if they could find outside funding. Baker Electric Inc. offered Cathedral creative financing for the system through a power purchase agreement. With the agreement, the school hosts the system that is paid for and owned by a third party, purchasing energy at a lower rate — Cathedral has the option to purchase the system outright in six years. Over the last two years, Baker has been responsible for all of the civil, electrical and structural design of the project, made to complement the school’s building colors and façade,including the incorporation of brick.

Forecast calls for extra buggy spring and summer

BY PAUL SISSON Long-legged bugs that look like mosquitoes on steroids are the first wave in what’s expected to be a prolonged inundation of insects this year in San Diego County and much of California. Experts said heavy winter precipitation has fueled plant growth not seen since at least 2005, and that in turn should produce bumper crops of butterflies, moths, beetles, mosquitoes and even subterranean termites. “Because of the rain we’ve had, there is an abundance of food out there. Insects are famously reproductive; they lay a ton of eggs, so if there is food available, they will get to work,” said Michael Wall, curator of entomology at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Chris Conlan, the county’s supervising vector ecologist, put it in a more declarative way: “It’s going to be a buggy spring for sure.” Some of the critters are downright harmless — including

Other insects, such as termites and caterpillars, can wreak havoc on houses and gardens with their voracious appetite. Still others are considered public-health targets because they can carry devastating, even deadly, diseases. West Nile virus, dengue fever and the Zika virus are among the threats associated with mosquitoes, which breed in lakes to pools to droplets of standing water. “All of the conditions are right for us to see more mosquitoes this year than usual,” Wall said. Crane flies have been the first to create a buzz in San Diego County. Conlan said residents have been dialing in for weeks JAMES GATHANY to report sightings of the insects. “People call because they A mosquito gorges on blood during a feeding. think they’re big mosquitoes or daddy long legs.

Brick15 music club in Del Mar closes after nine months BY GEORGE VARGA Brick15, the Del Mar coffee house and live music club that opened last July and featured top national singer-songwriters, closed on Monday, April 17. The reason for the closure was a lack of financing and sufficient customer support to remain in operation, according to Laura and Liam Murphy. The Carmel Valley couple owned and operated the 1,800-square-foot venue, which was located at 916 Camino Del Mar. “We’re pretty speechless at the moment,” Laura Murphy said Monday in an email to

The San Diego Union-Tribune. “While we continued to believe in our vision, and are extremely grateful to the many kind folks who shared our dreams, there are not enough of us. While business growth was good, it was not fast enough to attract or secure the financing we needed, and we are now unable to continue. When the last of our possible investors backed out, we were forced to face the reality that we had reached the end of our run.” Laura Murphy is the former night manager of Club Passim in Cambridge, Mass., a highly regarded folk-music club. A former

neuroscience researcher, she and her husband opened Brick15 with the hope of emulating the musical excellence and success of Club Passim. They succeeded on the first count. In its nine months of operation, Brick 15 hosted performances by such acclaimed singer-songwriters as Erin McKeown, Nickel Creek alum Sean Watkins, noted troubadour Kim Richey, Encinitas-based Jack Tempchin, who wrote “Peaceful Easy Feeling” for the Eagles, Throwing Muses’ co-founder Kristin Hersh, NPR Tiny Desk contest-winner Gaelynn Lea, and — just nine days ago — Iain Matthews, the co-founder of the pioneering

I thought they had all the skills to make it work and I thought the coffee shop alone would have been profitable.

Woman going through chemotherapy completes Encinitas Half Marathon BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Three minutes of running. One minute of walking. Repeat. More than three hours later, there’s the finish line. Not Dana Sobotka’s usual pace. Tears stream down her cheeks. “Are you OK?” an Encinitas Half Marathon race official asks. Sobotka’s cheeks move upward, and she uses her hand to wipe away the tears and sweat. “I’m more than OK,” she responds, still smiling. “I’m better than chemo.” For the 41-year-old San Diego woman, running had been a regular part of her life since childhood. She often participated in races with friends, and they would usually schedule half marathons months ahead of time. Last October, life threw Sobotka a curve ball when she discovered a lump in her breast while showering. In mid-November, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. How could this have happened? Sobotka was a runner. She was the person who ate organically and drank water from glass bottles. Cancer doesn’t discriminate, she learned. “It was really hard when I got my diagnosis,” she said. “But I ran a half-marathon three days after I found my lump because that’s just how I dealt with it.”

Sobotka persisted. After waking up from her double mastectomy surgery in January, the doctors told her the disease had spread to her lymph nodes, which meant chemotherapy. “I’m putting poison in my body when I don’t even put anything with high-fructose corn syrup in my body,” Sobotka said, angered. By the time she found out about the chemo, she was already signed up for the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in June, which would be right around her peak doses of the treatment. She was unsure she could still take part in the race. Then, she found out about the inaugural Encinitas Half Marathon, which her friends were also participating in. She signed up for the event, which was held March 26, two weeks after her first round of chemotherapy. Knowing she couldn’t run in the same manner she used to, she set a timer with intervals. Three minutes of running. One minute of walking. Repeat. It wasn’t the usual pace she was used to, but Sobotka — dressed in pink gear adorned with breast cancer ribbons — was proud of herself for participating, even if it meant finishing toward the end of the race. Her time clocked in at three hours

Dana Sobotka, who is actively going through chemotherapy, right, crosses the finish line of the Encinitas Half Marathon with friend Christopher Coats. and three minutes, nearly an hour past her personal record, which she earned just after her 40th birthday. “Last year was about getting my personal record, and this time was

about honoring my body,” Sobotka said. It wasn’t that long before when Sobotka learned that staying active was still allowed and encouraged

during her therapy and battle with cancer. After participating in LIVESTRONG fitness classes — held twice a week for cancer patients and survivors at the YMCA — Sobotka was relieved to learn from her instructor, Jen Foley, that exercise was, in fact, supported and “evidence-based” for those battling the disease. “There are so many benefits to exercising during cancer treatment and even through chemotherapy,” Sobotka said. “It is different than years ago where it was all about rest. And, for sure, there are days where you need rest but getting out there and doing some exercise actually helps to combat the fatigue.” Most days — between taking care of her health and her two young daughters — Sobotka said she will try to go out for a walk. Though she can’t run or exercise with the same ability she’s used to, Sobotka said she is still happy to be able to be active. “To think about something that’s been a part of your identity and getting that taken away from you when there are so many other things you can’t control... that’s the one thing I can control,” she said. “I can control whether or not I can get myself out there. One foot in front of the other still gets you to the finish line.”

Ariana Miller Heart of a Child Concert funds music therapy programs through Rady Children’s Hospital BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Siobhan Marroquin’s singing cuts off mid-verse, stopping her hands against the strings of her ukulele. With her son Joey, 3, propped up behind a keyboard in front of her, she frets that his older sister Grace, who’s visiting with her father, isn’t going to like such a slow tempo. Lindsay Zehren, a music therapist with Sorrento Valley-based Resounding Joy, sits cross-legged with a guitar on the floor next to them both. With reassuring tones in her voice, she gently strums the chords they’ve been piecing together over the past few months. They cycle through the verses another time, settling somewhere closer to mid-tempo. There’s an unspoken urgency: Joey was put on hospice last month. “We know the challenges aren’t over, but we’ve got what we need,” they sing together. “We have our love, our faith, and we’ll always be a family.” The session Saturday morning in Marroquin’s La Mesa apartment — cramped full with an array of musical and medical instruments — wouldn’t have been possible if not for the continued growth of the Ariana Miller Heart of a Child Concert, which funds music

Ariana had flourished under Resounding Joy’s care even as she succumbed to congenital heart disease. After she died in 2008, her parents Jeff and Anita Miller wanted other young cardiac patients at Rady to enjoy the same support Ariana had. Since 2011, the concert has funded music therapy for more than 1,000 families and has become a top showcase for San Diego’s most accomplished young musical acts.

This year’s concert will be held Saturday, April 22. The $70,000 raised last year enabled Zehren to give home therapy to five families a week instead of only two. But still, more than 100 families languish on the wait list. The Marroquins were one of the families lucky enough to make it off that list. They’ve made the most out of their sessions with Zehren, building a close rapport over their three months of work to craft their

family song. Zehren leads them through other songs, too — Light of Mine, Twinkle Twinkle, If You’re Happy and You Know It, and the like. If she lingers too long between songs, Joey vocalizes a sound — yearning and meek — that they’ve come to recognize as his way of saying “More.” Joey suffers from an extremely rare chromosomal disorder that affects his heart function, breathing, hearing and motor skills. His type of cerebral palsy all but robs him of control over his body. His communication barely rises above the most rudimentary levels. But from their very first session, his mother had no doubt that it was taking effect. “You could see it in his eyes. That first day, having the different instruments in his reach, he just lit up in this new way,” she says. “Lindsay noticed it, I noticed it, the nurse noticed it. The nurse and I were teary-eyed and starting to cry. Grace was like ‘Wow, Joey’s really playing, mommy!’ It was this amazing moment of realizing we had found something to reach him with.” Over the sessions that followed, SEE MUSIC, A22

Nag your children and keep them safe, local physician says BY JOE TASH One of the most important duties for the parents of teenagers, according to Solana Beach family medicine physician Ellen Rodarte, is to nag their children. “We have to constantly nag them and warn them about the risks of things. That’s our job,” said Rodarte, who practices at Sharp Rees-Stealy’s Del Mar medical center. “They are supposed to be annoyed with us and say ‘leave us alone’ and we are supposed to nag them.” In particular, said Rodarte, 43, teens need to be reminded of the risks of using drugs and alcohol and sexual activity, topics that may be uncomfortable for both sides. And the recent ballot measure that legalized marijuana for recreational use in California means that the potential dangers posed by the drug must be reinforced for young people. Rodarte, who grew up in Solana Beach, went away for medical school and then came back to practice, sees everyone from newborns to adults in her practice. But she has a special message for the teenagers who come in to her clinic. “Every teen visit is an opportunity to talk to families about two important subjects drugs, alcohol and tobacco, and the other is sexual activity,” she said. It’s especially important to talk to teenagers about risky behaviors and their consequences, she said, because the part of the brain that can understand consequences doesn’t fully develop until a person is in his or her early 20s.

“

They are at high risk to do bad things in their teen years. We know in medicine that we have to talk to teens about some of these risky behaviors and what the consequences are.

”

“It’s just how their brains are built. Their brains are built to crave risk, said Rodarte. “They are at high risk to do bad things in their teen years. We know in medicine that we have to talk to teens about some of these risky behaviors and what the consequences are.” Rodarte said she will start the conversation with both teens and parents present, and then ask the parents to leave so that she can speak to the teens privately. Confidentiality rules prevent her from sharing what the teens tell her, unless she learns they are being abused or want to harm themselves. Some parents get angry when she speaks to their children about such sensitive

topics, but Rodarte said she feels it is her duty to make sure that teens get the information they need about risky behaviors. If the parents don’t want her to talk to their kids, said Rodarte, then she tells them they must have such conversations at home. The point, she said, is to hammer home the negative consequences over and over by telling teens stories from real life about people they have known, or even the parents’ own experiences. As for marijuana use, she said, even though adults can legally use the drug, it is still illegal for those under 21 years old. While occasional use of marijuana may not

be the end of the world, she said, abuse of the drug can have a host of ill effects on a developing teenage brain, from being a gateway to harder drugs, to “amotivational syndrome,” basically not wanting to do anything. Studies have also suggested that heavy marijuana use as a teenager can lead to higher risk of developing schizophrenia later in life, she said. Marijuana is also addictive, she said. Although the withdrawal symptoms are not as severe as narcotics or certain other drugs, she said that withdrawing from pot can cause anxiety and irritability. Since today’s teens face a lot of pressure at school, parents can help by modeling positive stress relief activities, such as exercise, relaxing with friends and getting plenty of sleep, Rodarte said. Rodarte and her husband, who is also a physician, have three children, ages 5, 7 and 9, so she has a bit of time before she will have to deal with teenage brains in her own family. But she is prepared to follow her own advice and talk often to her children about the dangers of drugs, alcohol and sexual activity. Resources for parents, she said, include the website www.drugabuse.gov, and the book, “The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults,” by Frances E. Jensen and Amy Ellis Nutt. “Our teens need extra support,” said Rodarte. “They need parents who are involved and present, and (set) loving, firm limits.”

The Vision of Children Foundation TPHS musician to join National Youth Orchestra partners with Illumina’s iHope program Erica Hwang has been awarded a Latin American tour to Mexico City, The Vision of Children Foundation (VOC) recently announced a new partnership with Illumina, Inc., a San Diego based bio-technology company and global leader in the field of genomics. Under this new collaboration, Illumina has offered to provide a select number of whole genome sequencing (WGS) tests at no cost to VOC’s Family Network as part of their iHope Program. These tests will analyze the entire genome of a child and his/her parents and investigate if genetic alterations are involved in causing a child’s vision disorder. The results may also finally provide a clear diagnosis for families who have previously been frustrated by inconclusive results and failed procedures, a desperate search for information that can otherwise take an average of seven years to complete. Overall, the comprehensive information gathered from these tests could possibly be of critical use in future clinical trials to find cures for genetic vision disorders. Many families in contact with VOC have considered and/or sought-out genetic testing, but the cost has been prohibitive. If you are interested in being considered for the whole genome sequencing test

Local man to run 250 miles in Greece for charity

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A Cardiff man will run nearly 300 miles in Greece next month to raise awareness and funds for charity. Lance Cummings, 57, is running with nearly 20 athletes from all over the United States and Europe on the 300 of Sparta Endurance Run. The eight-day venture through rugged terrain, beginning May 7, essentially replicates the Spartan soldiers’ journey from Athens to Thermopylae nearly 2,000 years ago. “This is an iconic location that changed the history of the world and the course of the world,” Cummings said. “It’s also a challenge, and I wanted to initially do it as a challenge, but then came upon the idea of making it a give-back challenge to raise money for specific charities.” During the event — which tackles 30 miles for each of the eight days, culminating to about 250 miles — Cummings is raising money for the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation. The organization is named for the former Navy SEAL from Encinitas who was killed in 2012 during a terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Money raised will also support the Navy SEALs Foundation. Both charities offer scholarships for SEALs who transition from military to civilian life and also offer support for the families of members who are

Sean Lake, who is on the board of directors with the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation, said he is

grateful for Cummings’ support. “It means the world to me and the [Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation] to have folks like Lance go out beyond their comfort zone and put out an effort like this in order to help others,” Lake said. “As a former SEAL, Lance knows all too well the struggles that some special operations soldiers face in transitioning to civilian life. We couldn’t be more honored to see

Lance and his team march across Greece in order to help others.” Cummings said he has been training for nearly nine months, usually running about 125 miles per week and hiking with 35-pound bags and his dog. The hikes mimic the mountainous terrain the athletes will be traveling along in Greece, he said. Cummings has also participated in the Bike for Mike for ALS event earlier this year and has bicycled 525 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles in the California Coastal Classic, which raises money and awareness for arthritis. He said he enjoys giving back while pushing himself. “This is a way to give back,” Cummings said. “I think the culminating effect for this whole event was that everyone is going to get in shape doing it, but we’re going to impact thousands of other people just with the funds we are raising. It’s about leaving the world in a better place than it was in when you got here.” An online auction is currently raising funds for the Sparta 300 through April 22. Items such as custom-made guitars and surfboards are available at www.32auctions.com/sparta300. For more information about the march, visit www.300ofsparta.com.

FROM SOLAR, A1 “We’re were very pelased by the asethetics of the project,” Laaperi said, noting they are not obtrusive structures and blend with the school’s Tuscan architectural style. According to Scott Williams, director of commercial solar for Baker Electric, the Cathedral project is one of over 22 solar projects for educational facilities they have completed in San Diego County. By the end of 2017, they will have built an estimated total of 5.89 megawatts. As Cathedral’s system is 1.1 megawatts, it shows how significant the project is. “It’s the largest photovoltaic system we’ve built for a school in San Diego County,” Williams said, noting that they have built larger PV systems for other schools outside of San Diego and have built larger utility scale projects as well. “We’re proud of helping schools lead positive change in the community, endorsing clean energy and reducing their electric bill so they can use those funds saved to develop educational programs,” Williams said. “The benefit of schools installing solar is that they set a great example of environmental stewardship and the positive use of renewable energy.” The solar installation builds on the school’s previous environmental endeavors such as installing 80,000 square feet of artificial turf and switching to efficient LED lighting, which consumes 90 percent less power than old-style incandescent bulbs. They also installed car chargers available for faculty, staff and students during the school day and to the community at large in the evenings. “Our bills have been substantially lower so it’s already doing what it’s supposed to do,” said Laaperi, noting that their typical SDG&E bill had hovered around $40,000 a month and the last one received was about $4,000.

Cathedral is not the only local school taking advantage of solar power. Canyon Crest Academy down the street installed a solar system over the carports in its parking lot in 2010. As of last year, the solar systems at CCA and La Costa Canyon High School had paired to save the district more than $3.4 million in energy costs. Solar also factors into the construction of San Dieguito Union High School District’s new Earl Warren Middle School campus, set to open this fall. At neighboring Solana Ranch Elementary School, the Solana Beach School District is realizing approximately 60 percent off-set with its solar installation. “Solar panels reduce overall operating expenses at the school, are a good alternative renewable energy source, and will continue to generate power for 20-plus years with low maintenance costs,” said Caroline Brown, the district’s executive director of capital programs and technology. Solar projects are planned for each of the Solana Beach School District’s projects funded by their general obligation bond Measure JJ. Solana Pacific Elementary School, located in Carmel Valley, is scheduled for a solar panel installation this summer. Brown said they will expect approximately 45 percent off-set by installing solar canopies in the parking lot. Solana Highlands Elementary School in Carmel Valley is also scheduled to receive solar panels on the south-facing roofs with an expected off-set of approximately 40 percent. Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach is undergoing a complete reconstruction during the 2017-18 school year and is scheduled to receive solar panels in the parking lot as well over the student lunch area. The district anticipates a 60 percent off-set at Skyline, according to Brown.

Helen Woodward Animal Center to hold Puppy Prom Calling all furry amigos and amigas to the dance floor! Helen Woodward Animal Center welcomes alumni perros to the Fifth Annual Puppy Prom in a festive new location. To celebrate the Cinco de Mayo holiday weekend, the tail-wagging event invites canine adopters and adoptees to Casa Sol y Mar in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center for the crowning of a 2017 Best Dressed Prom King and Queen. Junior and senior pooches are welcome to gather around the punch bowl (and chips and salsa) and to participate in such time-honored activities as corsage making, opportunity drawings, and picture-perfect prom photos against a variety of classic prom backdrops. Grab your favorite fuzzy love and rub hairy shoulders with other alumni at Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Fifth Annual Puppy Prom Sunday, May 7, from 10 a.m. to noon at Casa Sol y Mar at 12865 El Camino Real, San Diego, CA 92130. The Cinco de May-themed Prom is free to all Helen Woodward Animal Center alumni, as well as other rescue-supporting guests with a variety of fun festivities for all. Prom cookies and agua will be available for the pups and Casa Sol Y Mar will provide free light Mexican appetizers along with drink specials (nonalcoholic “Puppy Prom Punch” and margaritas) for the humans. Pooches

who wish to compete for the title of Best Dressed Prom “Rey y Reina” may do so with a $10 entry fee which supports the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center. A group alumni photo of all guests will be taken for display on the Center website to honor our beloved extended family of puppies and people. In previous years, Helen Woodward Animal Center’s prom-themed “paw-ty” has united former orphans and their families from “graduating classes” as far back as 2004. Decked out in adorable doggy dresses, tuxes, boutonnieres and painted paw-nails, the rescued canines returned to their old barking grounds to show off their forever families and reunite with former Center “pupmates.” Animal Care Assistant Manager Mollee Sullivan stated, “We love this annual event where we can meet up and show our gratitude to all the wonderful families who open their homes to our orphan pets. It’s really special for us to get to see those fuzzy faces again. They mean a lot to us and we don’t forget them.” For more information, check out www.animalcenter.org. To RSVP or to register your pup for the Best Dressed King and Queen, please contact Mindy Wright at Helen Woodward Animal Center at: 858-756-4117, ext. 379.

OPINION

SOUL charter school on track to open this fall

ith approval granted by the San Diego County Board of Education in January, the School of Universal Learning (SOUL) Charter School is on its way to opening this fall within the boundaries of the San Dieguito Union High School District. Co-founders Marisa Bruyneel and Michael Grimes say the response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, which has bolstered their commitment to their mission and the work ahead. They remain enthusiastic and upbeat even as they face the not insignificant challenge of securing a facility. “We know it’s the most difficult piece of the puzzle,” Bruyneel said. Grimes said they have options that could work but none are ideal. “Nothing is quite right yet,” he said. “We know there’s the perfect space out there for us somewhere.” Miles Durfee, Southern California Managing Regional Director of the California Charter Schools Association, said, “For every charter school, the biggest barrier is always the facility.” Durfee said they may have to settle for something less than perfect, which could be temporary until a permanent facility can be secured.

Worst case would be deferring the opening for a year, which Durfee said sometimes happens with newly authorized charter schools. But he’s optimistic SOUL will open on schedule. “There’s still a lot of time to get a facility in place,” he said. “I’m not worried yet.” SOUL has funding from the state for its facility, and Durfee said this matters because they are not simply begging for free space. The charter school would pay to lease land or rent a facility, he said. So any organization or school district with space or land available that’s looking for a way to increase revenue might find leasing to SOUL an attractive option. “They would pay market rate on a lease for the property,” Durfee said. “Private schools do that all the time.” Grimes said they need 7,000 to 8,000 square feet the first year, when they open with only two grades – seventh and ninth. The second year, when eighth and 10th grades are added, they’ll need about 15,000 square feet of space. Eleventh grade will be added the third year, and 12th grade the fourth year. SOUL plans for an anticipated total of 600 students (100 per grade in grades 7-12) when fully operational.

www.rsfreview.com

Students and teachers Other than finding a facility, the co-founders said they are on track with the other important needs: funding, enrollment and staffing. Grimes said their facility budget is $250,000 for the first year and double that the second year. Besides outside funding and funding from the state based mainly on the average daily attendance of students, SOUL was awarded $375,000 from the Public Charter Schools Grant Program which, according to the California Department of Education website, provides “startup and initial operating capital to assist schools in establishing high quality, high performing charter school operations for California students and their families.” Bruyneel said they’ve held two parent sessions to date and have been impressed with parental response. “Parents are so aligned and so supportive,” she said. “The greatest part of this process is meeting parents,” Grimes said. “They ask good questions, and we appreciate their enthusiasm.” He said he’s confident enrollment goals will be met. Students need teachers, and Bruyneel said they’ve completed their first round of hiring. “We know the school will only be as good as its teachers,” she said. “They need to be able to implement our vision and must embody SOUL principles.” She said applicants are being asked to describe themselves on four levels: self, world, community and teaching. They can submit their applications in any form they choose. “We got amazing videos,” Grimes said. “Teachers who have applied have been incredible.” Some applicants are new to teaching, some

are former substitutes, and others are current teachers. Applications are coming in locally as well as from across the country, Bruyneel said. SOUL will start with a staff of 17: eight core curriculum teachers (for math, science, English and history), two elective teachers (music/arts/media arts and foreign language), four support staff and three administrators (Bruyneel, Grimes and founding team leader Dr. Wendy Kaveney). Demonstrating progress Because the school was only authorized for two years instead of the customary five, SOUL will have to demonstrate progress in only about 16 months before the founders need to go back to the SD County Board of Education in early 2019 for reauthorization. Grimes acknowledged that SOUL may not be able to show significant academic growth in just one year. But he said they will test students at the beginning and end of the school year and have a way to measure what they feel is equally important: emotional and social development. In addition, students will present a project every nine weeks at a review night for parents and teachers. And at the end of each semester, students will be required to do a “presentation of growth” that the community can attend. In this way, said Bruyneel, “each student takes part in their own assessment.” Bruyneel said she and Grimes “have been developing the concept for SOUL for a very long time.” The two met through mutual friends (they are not married to each other) and have what Bruyneel said is a “perfect alignment” and the same vision for what education needs to be. SOUL’s mission is to “provide exceptional education that awakens individuals to know SEE SOUL, A22

Grauer’s High School Archery Team: Kate Matthews, Justice Schiappa, Joshua Brandel, Ariana Stevens, Coach Trevor Olson, Julia Block, Bennett Parker, Pete Miller, Spencer Wirick, Kellen Chan, Jason Boehme

Grauer School’s archers are California State Champions The Grauer School archers are newly crowned California State Champions. Grauer of Encinitas, led by coaches Trevor Olson and Scott Leonhard, was the top-scoring team at this year’s California State Archery Championship competition, presented by Olympic Archery in Schools (OAS) at the Easton Archery Center of Excellence in Chula Vista, Calif. Six years ago, with gear cobbled together from his garage and a grant, Coach Olson launched the Grauer archery program with few students and few expectations, and the team grew yearly. Grauer seniors Spencer Wirick and Joshua Brandel, then in 7th grade, were instrumental in forming the archery program when they persuaded Olson to start a team, just for fun. Last March, to the amazement of the Grauer archers, the team led by Wirick and Brandel won the 1st-place San Diego County Championship team trophy, and they were elated to win the San Diego trophy again this March. On April 1, the Grauer team returned to challenge the top archers in the state, with the best archers from four San Diego teams squaring off against the best from eight Los Angeles teams. Senior Spencer Wirick coordinated the Grauer lineup with Coach Olson to put their team in the best position to earn a spot on the podium, creating a lineup with four single archers and two triples teams that showed strength in all categories. Olson said, “Every archer had a role and needed to perform well in order for the team to succeed at that level.” Their strategy paid off as the day progressed and Grauer students scored a number of individual honors. After all the arrows had flown, Wirick had earned the Gold Medal for his 1st-place ranking in the State of California for high school boys. Next up, Senior Ariana Stevens came through with a perfect bullseye on her last shot to win the Bronze Medal for her 3rd-place ranking in the high school girls competition. Then, the triples team with senior Joshua Brandel and juniors Kellen Chan and Pete Miller took home the Bronze Medal for their 3rd-place team ranking. Grauer’s Middle School team also had a banner day, finishing in 2nd-place in the

state out of 14 teams competing. Eighth-graders Amanda Creek and Jake Parker both finished in 2nd-place overall to earn Silver Medals in their divisions. After all of the individual and triples medals had been awarded, the anticipation grew for the announcement of the top-ranked overall high schools. In an Academy Awards moment, the announcer declared Our Lady of Peace as the Bronze Medal winner, and John Muir as the Silver Medal winner. That prompted a brief and hopeful speculation by a team from Los Angeles that they might have won based on the strength of their archers’ performance. When “The Grauer School” was announced as the top-ranked Gold Medal team, Grauer’s archers erupted with excitement and celebrated their achievement of receiving the school’s very first California State Championship victory. Dana Abplanalp-Diggs, Grauer’s Principal, said “We’re so proud of Grauer’s archery team, and we’re looking forward to hanging up the State Championship banner on our campus.” “Spencer Wirick has led the team with distinction and mentored his teammates, along with being the team’s Top Arrow,” noted Olson, an archer himself. “It took us a few years to get the right equipment and work out a solid program. We grew each year and reached a new level of success when we joined the OAS program several years ago. OAS is an established, competitive nationwide program with top-ranked student archers. We’re passionate about collaborating in the growth of the OAS program, so more local schools can realize the potential that archery can have in the development of a young person’s self-confidence.” The next step for the Grauer Archery team is competing in the OAS National Championship competition on April 29. The future looks bright for Grauer’s reigning California State Champions, with juniors Kellen Chan, Kate Matthews, and Pete Miller, and sophomore Bennett Parker, ready to take the reins as the team’s leaders next year.

Besides academic achievement, SOUL’s integrated holistic program seeks to help students understand their place in the world, their inner worth and value, and their unique ability to shine with talent all their own. Beyond all that, the further draw for parents and students includes the small school environment, project-based learning, an entrepreneurial focus, and a combined middle and high school. “Students deserve to have the option to attend a smaller school, and one that is dedicated to developing them mentally, emotionally, socially, physically and personally,” Bruyneel said. “SOUL intends to change the educational paradigm and ensure that students graduate high school with the tools and skills needed to thrive.” She called this “a revolutionary model of education” and said they are “looking forward to being the first charter school in the San Dieguito district.” “They are definitely unique in their program,” said CCSA’s Durfee.

It is at the heart of how citizens hold their public officials accountable.” I'm still puzzled as to why the RSF Association board is denying this form of communication. Suzy Schaefer Rancho Santa Fe

An article in last week's RSF Review titled "RSF Association forms committee on water rates" incorrectly stated when committee chair Greg Gruzdowich's term on the Santa Fe Irrigation District board ended. Gruzdowich served on the Santa Fe Irrigation District board for four years until his term ended in December 2016. (When his term ended in December 2016, Gruzdowich decided not to run for an additional four-year term.)

traditional way. “It’s a great story of leaders who have a great passion,” he said. A partnership This is not to say that SOUL’s founders don’t applaud San Dieguito’s achievements. “We acknowledge your schools have already forged a path of excellence,” Bruyneel said to the SDUHSD board at its Oct. 13 meeting, when the board denied SOUL’s petition. Grimes said SOUL would be giving the district another exceptional school to its options. Students deserve choices, they said, as not every school meets every student’s individual needs. Although the county is SOUL’s authorizing agency, that does not mean that SDUHSD no longer has a role to play in SOUL’s ability to fulfill its mission. San Dieguito could do more to help identify a facility, which could be structured as temporary housing if the district is reluctant to make the arrangement permanent. Such a deal would generate income that would help reduce San Dieguito’s enormous $9.2 million deficit. In the spirit of cooperation, San Dieguito could also allow SOUL students to try out and play on the district’s high school sports teams. “Sports team participation would be nice to have,” Grimes said. After all, these students would be attending the district’s high schools if SOUL were not an option.

“The district may enter into an agreement with a charter school on this,” Durfee said. “As I understand it, there are districts that do partner with charter schools in this way.” Although the district cannot be compelled to do this, Durfee was hopeful that SDUHSD can be convinced “to openly partner in the best interest of the whole student’s needs.” “Every issue can find a viable solution,” Grimes said. Even though he has said in the past that he wishes them well, SDUHSD superintendent Eric Dill was the only speaker to oppose the authorization of SOUL at the SD County Board of Education meeting in January. Nevertheless, Bruyneel and Grimes insist the relationship is healthy. “We all want to work together,” said Grimes, who stressed that he hoped the district “can see us as another great option for their students as opposed to seeing us as competition.” SOUL will have a booth at the Earth Day Fair at Balboa Park on April 23 and at the Encinitas Street Fair April 29-30. A private “Celebration of SOUL” is planned for May, “to celebrate our success and say thank you to the community,” Bruyneel said.

the kid with the Pink Floyd t-shirt whom nurses at Rady’s nick-named “crazy legs” for his penchant to thrash gleefully anytime music would strike up in the ICU. “He’s just this sweet, unrealistically happy guy, despite all he’s been through,” she says, watching warmly as Zehren shows Joey a lollipop-colored hand drum, which he nuzzles, his face bending into an unmistakable smile. “You’re amazing,” Zehren says, half-singing, her face tenderly approaching his. “You really are.” Doctors don’t know how much time Joey has left. His mom admits it’s probably less than she had hoped. But Zehren will be back next week, and the week after — for as long as Joey is physically able. If circumstances allow, she’ll record them

performing their song together — a legacy project Resounding Joy does with many of its families. When Joey’s light does finally go out, his mother will play the song at his funeral. “It describes him and describes Grace and their special bond so well,” she says. “It’s been such a gift to be able to share that with them, to have something that Grace and I can always —” Her voice trails off. She looks again at her son. “Music,” she says, “music is eternal.” This year’s Ariana Miller Heart of a Child concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 22, at Irwin M.

restrictive residential density, which will require the developers to apply for a density change within the zoning. During public comment at the April 6 meeting, neighbor Saiid Zarrabian said he represents 950 people who have signed a petition “strongly opposing” the project. Zarrabian said that the RSF Association board needs to weigh in as he believes the developers are continuing their efforts at the county level to amend the General Plan 2020. The plan states that one dwelling is allowed per 2-acre site, which would mean a maximum of 14 units per the current zoning. He urged the RSF Association to submit a letter to the county giving definitive opposition to any amendment to the zoning allowing a density increase and to hold a public meeting. “A 400 percent density increase would cause irreparable damage to the most rural, unique attributes of Rancho Santa Fe,” Zarrabian said, noting that allowing a zoning change would also set a “dangerous precedent” and create a roadmap for density increases in the future. “There is no other place like Rancho Santa Fe. The risks of doing nothing are enormous and everlasting.” Resident Rick Nicholas spoke during public comment, also requesting that the RSF Association make a statement direct to the county regarding density increases. “We’re not against development but we support the 2020 plan,” Nicholas said. According to Pete Smith, representing Golden Eagle Land Investment, a lawsuit regarding the project against the RSF Association is still in the appellate process and they have not submitted any project to the

county. In September 2015, Golden Eagle filed the lawsuit against the RSF Association alleging that the RSF Association violated the Common Interest Development Open Meeting Act and took action on an item not on the agenda. In response, the RSF Association filed a motion to strike the entire complaint. In December 2015, the Superior Court of California dismissed eight of the nine causes of action in the lawsuit — the court did not dismiss the first cause of action that the board violated the open meeting act. In the lawsuit, the Mabee trust said it believes that the Association engaged in conduct that undermined its efforts to obtain county approval for its project and with the lawsuit the Mabee trust is seeking a level playing field to present the development proposal to the community in a fair way. No plan has ever been officially submitted to the RSF Association and it last came before the RSF Association board in May 2014 as an informational item. RSF Association President Fred Wasserman said as the litigation process continues, the board is not in the position to take action against a project that has never been submitted to the RSF Association. He assured the residents that he did not believe there was an attempt by the developers to bypass the RSF Association. If the process moves forward, there would be time for the RSF Association and its members to be involved. The developers would have to submit a General Plan amendment to the county, prepare a specific plan and go through the Covenant Design Review Committee and RSF Association board review process as well as hold public hearings at the county level.

FROM BUGS, A2 “They do best in moist, decaying leaves and dead organic matter, and there has been a lot of that recently,” he said. The next likely insect to take flight in explosive numbers this spring is currently chewing contentedly on vegetation from Borrego Springs and Ramona to Torrey Pines and Chula Vista. Thousands upon thousands of distinctive, green caterpillars will soon turn into white-lined sphinx moths. These moths will be most prevalent in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, where the wildflower bloom this year has been particularly impressive. But they’re also likely to swarm out closer to the coast. These moths have been known to show up prolifically after notably wet winters. Conlan said Anza-Borrego visitors may get an up-close look at this species. “It can be very common to the point where they’re crisscrossing the roads in huge numbers,” he said. Arthur Shapiro, a professor of evolution and ecology at UC Davis, said in most years, the white-lined sphinx moth migrates northward into California’s central valley and eventually passes over the Sierra Nevada mountains to feast on monsoonal desert plants in July. This year, he said, it’s unclear whether that pattern will happen. The Yolo Bypass, a flood-diversion channel between Davis and Sacramento that’s usually dry and full of plants that the moths like to eat, is covered by 19 feet of water at the moment. “If the white-lined sphinx does make it up here, I don’t know where they’ll breed,” Shapiro said. Ironically, the situation could end up helping out the Central California butterfly population in mid- to late summer. After water in the bypass eventually recedes, many butterfly species might very well swarm in and lay their eggs in areas that have been under water and are now devoid of natural predators, Shapiro noted. “From July through October, the numbers can be incredible in areas like this that have been under water during the spring. It restarts the system, takes things back to zero and lets everything redevelop,” he said. Another species marked by metamorphosis, the painted

lady butterfly, generally shows up in massive numbers during wet years. It starts as caterpillars munching on desert plants in the late winter and then following vegetation blooms all the way up the state, sometimes reaching Oregon. Both Conlan and Wall forecast a major showing of these butterflies in the coming months for San Diego County and beyond. Shapiro said the moisture-laden winter of 2005 produced a writhing mass of painted lady caterpillars that quickly turned into swarms of butterflies moving northwest from the state’s southern deserts to the verdant, blooming fields in the central valley. “You can’t believe the numbers that were involved in 2005. They were so thick that they were disrupting traffic,” Shapiro said. Elevation also plays a role in the springtime behavior of butterflies. Many species, such as the highly migratory California Tortoise Shell Butterfly, are greatly dependent on winter conditions in the mountains. While drought years, including 2016, generally lead to smaller populations of these species, a thick insulating blanket of snow tends to help more of the butterfly pupae survive through the coldest months and then emerge when the snow melts. Because the snowpack in California’s mountains is extremely thick this year, Shapiro predicts a late butterfly season in those elevations. So will there be swarms of butterflies in mountain meadows this summer? That’s hard for Shapiro to foresee. “We’re waiting with bated breath to see what happens when all that snow finally melts,” Shapiro said. Because the current profusion of vegetation has enabled a lot of caterpillars to find food at lower elevations, Wall said he also expects to find an increase in the population of Calosoma beetles — which are often called caterpillar hunters due to their eating habits. Termites are another insect group that should have a markedly bigger presence this year, Shapiro said. Significant increases in soil moisture can help termite populations expand for up to three consecutive years.

SOVEREIGN

“It should be a great year to be a termite exterminator,” Shapiro said. In terms of the human health aspects of a super buggy 2017, mosquitoes pose the greatest concern to medical and vector-control experts. Conlan said mosquitoes usually don’t begin appearing until May, when the weather warms up, and the Aedes aegypti variant that transmits Zika is not prevalent until August. The various kinds of Aedes mosquitoes also can spread dengue fever, chikungunya virus and yellow fever. The county government’s vector-control crews are already dosing large bodies of standing water with larvicide pellets that can keep mosquito larvae from becoming droves of the blood-sucking insects. These workers are having to visit more places because some sites that had dried out from prolonged drought are suddenly in play again, holding moisture for the first time in years. For instance, Lake Hodges in Escondido and the eastern reaches of Los Peñasquitos Lagoon east of the Torrey Pines Reserve are receiving repeated scrutiny. So is Lake Rancho Viejo, a small body of water at the center of a community just east of Interstate 15 and south of Highway 76 near Fallbrook. Lake Rancho Viejo “hadn’t had water for probably two years, and now it has come back onto our radar screen,” Conlan said. “It will probably end up getting treated by air when we start up our aerial drop program in about a month.” Currently, there are 48 locations listed on the county’s aerial larvicide application schedule, which the public can view at bit.ly/aerialdrop. Last summer, county crews also started conducting comprehensive neighborhood spraying operations because Aedes mosquitoes were detected near the homes of patients who tested positive for Zika virus after traveling abroad. The spraying is intended to keep the virus from moving into the local mosquito population, which would significantly elevate the threat of Zika infections to all local residents — and especially pregnant women, whose babies are at risk of suffering a devastating brain defect called microcephaly. — Paul Sisson is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

The Old Globe Theatre

‘Skeleton Crew’ looks at life on the line for Detroit auto workers

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER The Old Globe is the first regional theater in the country to produce Dominique Morisseau’s “Skeleton Crew.” It was originally presented as a reading at The Globe’s 2014 Powers New Voices Festival before gaining acclaim in an Off-Broadway run. The story takes place in Detroit, in 2008, as the car industry heads downhill. There’s only one working auto plant left, and long hours on the job have led to employees to bond like a family. Only months away from retiring with a full pension, Faye (Tonye Patano) discovers management has a new plan. With compassion for her colleagues, she’s torn between self-preservation and allegiance to her coworkers. Globe artistic director Barry Edelstein said the story couldn’t be more timely. “Dominique Morisseau’s play is a remarkable achievement,” he opined. “Rich with complex moral questions and full of joy and vibrancy, it celebrates working Americans even as it brings enormous compassion to the struggles they face in a changed economy.” Added Patano, “It’s interesting how every few years things recycle back to the way they were in 2008 and 2009 ... things come back like a boomerang. This story holds up amazingly and shows how important it is even to a community like San Diego, which is much different than Detroit. “On the surface, the play is kind of straightforward, but it’s really not. It’s a deceptively nuanced piece. Dominique is a

For the dialect of Detroit, where the play takes place, she uses poetry and phrases put on the page with special care. “Detroit’s history is unique from when the auto business started. There were the unions, and the mixing of blacks and whites working together. Factories created their own class of people who could earn a decent wage and put

some of their family members through college, and buy homes. To watch that unravel in various stages from breaking unions to the auto crisis where people were affected so quickly, you see families broken up and entire neighborhoods gone. The story Dominique tells us is poignant and wonderful.” Patano said the cast is great. It features Amari Cheatom as Dez, Brian Marable as Reggie, and Rachel Nicks as Shanita.

“Everyone attending this play will have something they take away and think about for a while,” she said. ■ IF YOU GO: ‘Skeleton Crew’ plays through May 7 in The Old Globe Theatre’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Surf documentary ‘Secrets of Desert Point’ to premiere at film festival The camera opens on grainy 16 mm footage panning right across exotic tropical landscapes — a lush countryside, ancient temples, an austere island of rock and jungle rising from a heavy sea. Cut to a left-curling wave, churning clean and steady and seemingly without end. So begins the new surf documentary Secrets of Desert Point by Opper Sports Productions in Solana Beach — a story 40 years in the making, drawn from season after season of unspoken excursions to the unmapped beach surf pioneer Bill Heick and his friends discovered on the southwest tip of Lombok island, far beyond the furthest outposts of the surf scene that had erupted out of nearby Bali and Java in the 1970s. “It’s one of the last great dirt-bag adventures of the 20th Century,” said director Ira Opper. “Today, surfing is about sponsorship, professionalism, surf camps — it’s kind of a cushy world. Back in the day, it was about exploration, adventure, travel. This story signifies everything that’s great about the soul of surfing. You go out and you discover a spot. You keep your mouth shut, because you want to surf a perfect wave with your buddies. That’s the ultimate experience.” Heick’s hardscrabble crew — known as the Golden Beards in Indonesian surfing circles — managed to keep their secret for a decade. But as certain as Desert Point’s unforgiving riptide, their once-hidden spot would go on to become world-renowned. The story of that discovery, however, will come to light for

For more than 20 years, Opper has been producing some of the most widely recognized surfing content online and in television formats. This 45-minute documentary is his first foray into feature-length filmmaking. Opper hadn’t seen Heick in more than a decade before he showed up at Opper’s door in 2015, a hard-drive in hand, loaded with hour upon hour of never-before seen footage. Heick had wanted merely to

compile the footage into a sort of vanity project for that band of merry surfers. But once Opper realized the trove of footage at his disposal, he brought on a production team that included writer Steve Barilotti, Encinitas-based editor-at-large for Surfer Magazine, and editor Julian Clark, whom Opper had discovered when judging a La Jolla High School film festival. What the team built from those archives reaches back to Heick’s trips with his father — legendary ethnographic filmmaker William R. Heick — to document dance rituals of little-seen

cultures on the other side of the Pacific. From there unfolds the story of surfing and survival in its most feral forms, camped out months at a time, year after year, on a malaria-infested beach. It took 18 months and more than 800 hours of editing to winnow that footage down to the 45-minute documentary that will premiere next week at Newport. “Sometimes the passion of the project overtakes any obstacle,” Opper said. “This was just a story that we all wanted to tell. It was so core and honest and pure and had so much stoke in it, what these people went through to ride a wave.” “Secrets” premieres at 5:15 p.m. on April 24 at The Triangle 3 Theatre in Costa Mesa. After Newport, the film heads next month to the San Diego Surf Film Festival before plunging into the film-festival circuit. Documentary trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVd_iKp8ziQ

San Diego Asian Film Festival presents its Spring Showcase See 20 movies with a cultural perspective BY WILL BOWEN The seventh annual San Diego Asian Film Festival (SDAFF) Spring Showcase, presented by Pacific Arts Movement (Pac Arts), will feature 20 films from 10 countries screening April 20-27 at the UltraStar Cinemas Mission Valley in Hazard Center. This is the largest showcase to date with films ranging from socially-minded documentaries to uplifting romantic comedies — all of which celebrate those who explore and exhibit the concept of “freedom” through the art of film. “This year’s timely and relevant films seek to bring audiences together with stories that remind us to consider both our own history, as well as that of the world around us,” said Kent Lee, SDAFF executive director. “The Spring Showcase is a special opportunity for us to present an intimate selection of documentary, blockbuster and award-winning films from Asian and Asian-American perspectives to the San Diego community.” The Spring Showcase opens 7 p.m. Thursday, April 20 with “Poi E: The Story of Our Song,” a

A film still from ‘Abacus’ joyous musical documentary about a community in New Zealand that comes together to preserve its culture and language under the direction of Dalvanius Prime, a traditional Maori singer who updates his music with a disco beat. Prime’s pop song “Poi E,” upon which the film is based, topped the charts when it came out in 1984 and went on to become New Zealand’s unofficial national anthem. “Sunday Beauty Queen” is the keystone festival film. Its North American premiere is 3:20 p.m.

Saturday, April 22. This is a story about Sundays for the Filipinos working in Hong Kong, who come together in the streets on that day to celebrate, commune and throw beauty contests. The director, Baby Ruth Villarama, will be present for the screening. The film is said to have captured the play between the harsh realities of overseas labor and the nostalgia for the families Philippine workers leave behind in their native land. Perhaps the most poignant films are the documentaries and shorts of “Right to Resist: From 9066

‘Yourself and Yours’ will screen at the San Diego Asian Film Festival’s Spring Showcase to 2017,” which chronicle the Japanese-American internment during World War II. This film collection, the first of its kind, will be shown over most of Sunday, April 23 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 that directed the U.S. military to take the historical action. Other films in the collection examine the more contemporary Muslim-American experience, post 9/11. Patrons age 17 and younger can attend this series for free. On closing night, 7 p.m., Thursday, April 27, “Gook,” a

comedy-drama, directed by Justin Chon, will examine the LA riots of 1992 from the viewpoint of Korean-American store owners, many of whom were victimized by the events. ■ IF YOU GO: All screenings tale place at UltraStar Cinemas Mission Valley, 7510 Hazard Center Drive, Suite 100, San Diego.

Pacific Ridge students La Jolla Music Society presents perform at Carnegie Hall pianist Nikolay Khozyainov April 29

Students at Pacific Ridge School were chosen for the prestigious opportunity to be one of two schools performing individually at Carnegie Hall for the National Youth Choir on April 2. About 30 students from the Vocal Ensemble and Jazz Rock Ensemble traveled to New York City for the exciting opportunity. Steven Dziekonski, director of Arts and STEAM Programs at Pacific Ridge, said it was a unique opportunity. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our students who performed on the same stage as many world-renowned musicians and performers,” Dziekonski said. Senior Jared Pollard, who performed a solo with the Vocal Ensemble, agreed. “There is nothing like being on that stage. Carnegie Hall is regarded worldwide as one of the greatest centers of music heritage ever, and to be able to perform and be a part of that legacy is an honor like no other,” Pollard said. Students have been working since the beginning of the school year on the performance. The WorldStrides National Youth Choir invites 10 schools to perform and two are given the honor of performing individually. Pacific Ridge’s Vocal Ensemble was picked based on their performance at the WorldStrides Festival in New Orleans last year. The Vocal Ensemble performed Brazilian folk music and traditional Appalachian and gospel songs. Students also worked with conductors

Pacific Ridge students worked all year for their performance in the WorldStrides National Youth Choir. Edith Copley and André Thomas. This isn’t the first time Pacific Ridge’s Vocal Ensemble has gained national recognition. It has earned gold awards at multiple music festivals around the country and previously performed at Carnegie Hall in 2012. In a separate performance, the Jazz Rock Ensemble competed at the Heritage Festival at Riverside Church and won a gold award on March 31. The group also performed at the Intrepid Air and Space Museum. While in New York, students had the chance to attend two Broadway shows and soak in famous landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and Central Park.

Having performed previously on both the Discovery Series and the Piano Series, this time Khozyainov takes to the LJMS stage for a special event with a thoughtfully chosen program of repertoire that he hopes will give his “American Fans a Piece of his Russian Soul.” The program opens with Beethoven’s fiery and

dramatic Piano Sonata in A-flat Major, Op. 110 followed by Stravinsky’s Three Movements from Petrushka. In Khozyainov’s own words “This piece is very emotional, there are many Russian folk melodies, rhythms. Its music is very expressive, bright and colorful.” Of his closing work, Fantasie in C Major, Op. 17 by Schumann, Khozyainov states “Schumann Fantasie is a very passionate composition, from the first until its last sound it is filled with a romantic breath, this piece will leave no one indifferent. This Fantasie astounds you to the depth of your soul, I forget everything in the world, playing this masterpiece.” Tickets range from $30-$70 and are available through La Jolla Music Society’s Ticket Services Office, 858-459-3728 or online at www.LJMS.org.

Local resident Sydney Johnson to co-chair April 27 benefit for Serving Seniors Event to feature an evening of fine wine and California cuisine to raise funds for 100,000 meals for San Diego seniors BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Amid the clink of fine china and the din of high-brow hob-knobbing at Serving Seniors’ annual gala “Experience of a Lifetime: Uncork Your Support” at the Del Mar Country Club April 27, event co-chair Sydney Johnson will keep her focus trained on the stage of the posh ballroom. After the welcome hour, after the silent auction, after executive chef Jonathan Sudar presents the evening’s menu and explains its pairings with the wines hand-picked from the cellar of Gary and Mary West — the philanthropist husband-and-wife whose foundation funds Serving Seniors’ wellness center in downtown San Diego — the soiree will fall silent. One of Serving Seniors’ clients will take to the stage to detail how their life had skittered off the rails, and how the nonprofit helped, in turn, prop them back up. “It’s very hard to look around the room and find a dry eye when they hear about the reality of aging without any funds, and potentially being homeless, that you are always just one retirement check or Social Security check from being out on the streets,” said Johnson who also co-chaired the event in 2015. For the past five years, Johnson has counted herself among the 500 volunteers who pitch in to the diverse array of services offered by Serving Seniors. Her first visit to the Gary and Mary West Senior Wellness Center, in 2012, struck a personal chord. Only two years prior, her father-in-law had unexpectedly died soon

Sydney Johnson after retiring. “He really didn’t have his senior years to enjoy life,” Johnson said. “And when I first went down there, I saw all these elderly who were living their senior years but not enjoying it.” Johnson, who lives in Torrey Highlands, would go on to join their board of directors, always making sure to keep going back to the West center to serve meals. It was a precipitous time for the 45-year-old nonprofit. The following year they changed their name from Senior Community Centers to Serving Seniors and set to work on a revamped fundraising strategy. From that effort emerged the idea of the Experience of a Lifetime fundraiser. Serving Seniors is far more than just the

nonprofits to put a support network into place now to cope with what’s ahead. They added a bevy of dental services last year, and recently launched the Shiley Dementia/Alzheimer’s Early Detection and Intervention Pilot Program, funded through a two-year, $100,000 grant from The Shiley Foundation. “The thing about Serving Seniors is it’s been around 45 years and has a long-standing history of delivering successfully, even in really lean times,” Johnson said. “As an entity that receives government funds as a good portion of its budget, it’s had its ups and downs and has had to rely on private fundraising in order to sustain the organization.” The political uncertainty that looms on the horizon makes this year’s fundraising drive all the more crucial, said Johnson. “It really allows us to fill the gaps,” she said. “We try to ensure that the larger donors remain in the picture but, really, a lot of the non-governmental budget comes from small-time donors, somebody who’s doing $5 a month, $10 a month.” Limited tickets are still available for the April 27 gala, which will be held from 5:30 p.m.-9 p.m. at the Del Mar Country Club.

Serving Seniors partners with more than two dozen agencies to cover a full gamut of needs. The California Department of Finance last year reported 7.6 million Californians age 60 and older. That number is expected to swell to nearly 11 million over the next dozen years. By 2050, one in every four Californians will be in their golden years. Most of Serving Seniors’ clients have hit hard times for economic reasons rather than mental health issues or substance abuse. Two out of five of San Diego’s elderly have to choose each month between either food or rent. “If you’re retired and on a limited income, living in San Diego is shoestring,” Johnson said. “You’re essentially living month to month — and for a lot of those months, toward the end of the month you’re completely out of funds.” And as San Diego’s demographics are projected to skew older each year — and housing costs to creep steadily upward — Serving Seniors is pushing even harder with government agencies and other

Laurence Luckinbill’s ‘LYNDON’ at NC Rep May 8-9 Broadway actor Laurence Luckinbill stars as Lyndon Johnson. MARK HASTINGS

Broadway actor Laurence Luckinbill stars as Lyndon Johnson at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach May 8-9 at 7:30 p.m. He was the greatest master of Congress in history, and came to the presidency after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Johnson proved himself to be a brilliant and disciplined liberal Democrat who created 200 pieces of domestic legislation for the American people. His plan to create a Great Society was a magnificent dream. It is an astonishing record of great achievement. He was a great man, a great American, and LYNDON tells that story graphically, hilariously, and furiously, and in his own words. This stage reading was written by Laurence Luckinbill.

BY LESLIE CARTER Join San Diego’s G.O.L.D. (Gifts of Loving Donors) Diggers as they celebrate their 24th year of charitable giving, at the Estancia Hotel and Spa on April 28. This year the contestants in the “Betty Mabee Hat Parade” will design their creations around the theme “As Time Goes By.” The theme celebrates the 75th anniversary of the debut of “Casablanca.” Annually, this luncheon honors two important nonprofits in San Diego County with gifts of $4,000 each to continue their important work. This year’s The Playwrights Project and the Autism Tree Foundation are the two major beneficiaries. The Playwrights Project has been fostering play writing in California schools for 30 years and hosts a playwriting contest for California students that culminates with fully staged productions for the winners at the Old Globe. There are also programs in playwriting for seniors and for prison inmates, foster youth, and immigrants, active military and veterans, but this is only a partial list. The Autism Tree Foundation was created as a way to help build community compassion towards the families with children on the autism spectrum, and to help them find their way in a complex system of LESLIE CARTER care. The “Betty 18-Karat Award-2016 Mabee Hat Parade” entries are Altrusa International of San Diego, Angels of Aseltine, B.A.B.E.S. (Beating Alzheimer’s By Embracing Science), Classics For Kids, Daughters of the American Revolution-La Jolla Chapter, E&CO, I’m My Own Blessing, San Diego Civic Youth Ballet, San Diego Floral Association, Say San Diego, and Social Service League of La Jolla. The highlight of the silent auction is a Mission Bay Yacht Cruise for 10 on the Cinsarlis, featuring enticing food and drink and views of La Jolla, Mission Beach and the backstage of Sea World. The Mistress of Ceremonies will be Geni Cavitt. The Honorary Chairs of “Hats Off” are Jackie Gillman of San Diego and Merle Lotherington of La Jolla. Honorary Co-Chairs are Holly Smith Jones, Kristi Pieper, and Priscilla and Keith Webb. Honorary Committee members are Marie Chemali, Connie Conard, Gigi Cramer, Marion Dodson, Joyce Dostart, Donna Doyle, Susan Fancher, Maeann Garty, Bonnie and Scofield Hage, Jill Hall, Pamela Hartwell, Terry Koehler, Virginia Napierskie, Linda Masters, Fern Murphy, SEE GOLD, B27

The event will beging with a Meet & Greet at 6 :30 p.m. The lecture will spend some time with Jung and Joyce, turn-of-the-century geniuses, as they creatively respond to questions like: How does humankind now find meaning?

Early on he developed a love for Shakespeare and James Joyce and he has pursued this love all his life. Twenty-five years ago he underwent years of Jungian analysis and since then has tried to let Jung lead him on an inner journey of experience and study.

2017 Secret Garden Tour tickets on sale, may sell out BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Within the 2017 La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) Secret Garden Tour’s featured spaces, one homeowner removed a swimming pool to install their garden, another a tennis court, and a third bought the adjacent house and demolished it for the same purposes. “This is a group of people committed to gardening, and there are some really special gardens on this year’s tour,” said LJHS director Heath Fox. The Secret Garden Tour returns to La Jolla 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 20, with the novelty that this year LJHS will kick off the weekend with a Friday Night Garden Candlelight Soirée (tickets $75) from 6 to 8:30 p.m. May 19. During the event, guests will gather at a garden featured in the 2016 Secret Garden Tour and enjoy hors d’oeuvres, wine and music by candlelight. The celebrity guest will be Nan Sterman, garden designer, botanist and host of KPBS’s “A Growing Passion” show. The 19th edition of the event offers various options. The “Platinum Tour” ($150) starts with brunch at a secluded setting, and then guests go off to visit the six “secret gardens” in small buses. The “Self-Guided Tour” ($50) begins at LJHS’s Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St., where tour-goers will pick up their program booklets with locations of the gardens, a map and the wristband necessary to gain entrance. Visitors who choose this option drive themselves to the different locations and can visit the gardens in any order. Garden locations are kept secret until the morning of

LIGHT FILE

A scene from a garden in a past tour that included artists painting and musicians playing at select locations the event.

What’s in store?

The gardens featured this year are accompanied by “spectacular La Jolla properties with beautiful views,” according to a press release. “The 2017 Secret Garden Tour gardens include a historically designated 1930s Edgar Ulrich fantasy castle with romantic gardens to match, a Cape Cod Ranch overlooking canyons and the ocean with vegetable gardens and fruit trees, a 1930s Spanish Style home set in a botanical wonderland with specimen plants and spectrums of color, and an elegant home set amongst drought-resistant plants over more than an acre property.” The garden visits are enhanced by local musicians, artists and

tabletop displays by designers and merchants. Tickets have gone on sale at lajollahistory.org/events and, according to Fox, may sell out. “Sales this year are ahead of what they were this time last year. I’m anticipating we’re going to sell out,” he said, encouraging those interested buy their tickets in advance. Coinciding with the Secret Garden Tour, the “Secret Garden Boutique” will take place 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. This free, open-to-the-public event consists of an open-air market where 25 vendors will offer gardening accessories, plants and gifts available for purchase. Vendors are selected for their special artistic style or craftsmanship.

Fox highlighted the “variety” of secret gardens featured this year. “We have design styles that range from classical to contemporary, with a wide range of planting materials, including three gardens that integrate fruit and vegetable plating,” he said.

Volunteers are needed

If the 200 tickets for the “Platinum Tour” and 800 for the “Self-Guided Tour” are sold, a total of 1,000 visitors will walk the six selected gardens. The organization challenge this presents is solved by LJHS with the help of volunteers who make sure everyone’s safe. “We will have a team of 85 volunteers working on tour day, some of whom will be here for registration, but most of them will be working in shifts in the gardens

on behalf of those gardeners,” Fox explained. Asked if any garden ever repeats an appearance in the event, Fox said his rule of thumb is to never repeat a garden that’s been featured in the previous five years. However, in this year’s edition, he admitted LJHS included a garden that was on the 2009 event. “Since that time the property has a new homeowner who has put in a new garden that I believe is more appropriate to the architecture style,” he added. Two of the gardens in this year’s tour belong to houses designated “historical.” For Fox, landscaping is an important part of the historical designation process. “When we talk about historic preservation, we’re talking about a building, and we’re talking about the urban environment, which we typically associate with buildings, but it’s more than that,” he said. “You really can’t talk about preservation in the urban environment without considering conservation in the natural environment, and gardening is a method of conserving the natural environment that’s integral to the urban city.” Fox added he would like to see more attention paid to “cultural landscapes,” as they are referred to in the preservation lingo. “I’m glad to see that there are two appointments of landscape architects in the Historical Resources Board, Todd Pitman and new chair David McCullough. You have to consider things holistically.” ■ Want to know more? Visit lajollahistory.org/events or call (858) 459-5335.

Review: ‘Travels with My Aunt’ a hilarious one-of-a-kind experience

AARON RUMLEY

Benjamin Cole, Richard Baird, David McBean and James Saba (sitting), star in ‘Travels with My Aunt,’ adapted by Giles Havergal from the novel by Graham Greene and directed by David Ellenstein, running April 12 – May 7, 2017.

BY DIANA SAENGER Anyone who likes funny or eclectic stories will not want to miss “Travels with My Aunt” now playing through May 7 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. Four actors -- James Saba, David McBean, Richard Baird and Benjamin Cole -- who perform more than 20 roles with different identities, nationalities, ages and genders, open the play apparently waiting for a train. Dressed in look-alike suits they banter about their lives. And at one moment they take a turn that brings lots of laughs from the audience. James Saba takes on the title role as Actor 1 - Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager. Throughout the performance he excels in also being the wiggly, feisty yet informed Aunt Augusta. But then every once in a while he becomes another character talking to Aunt Augusta. This may seem confusing since Aunt Augusta is now in an urn waiting for her funeral. Actor’s 1, 2, 3 and 4 participate in the funeral confusion and what happens to the urn. However,

that’s trumped by the other characters they portray: (Richard Baird) as a hunky African manservant (Richard Baird), who regularly makes “jig-jig” with Augusta, and plays all the characters with accents; David Bean as CIA operative and all of the women and Henry; Benjamin Cole as the dog and onlooker. These characters travel all over the world to places such as Paris, Istanbul and Paraguay, experiencing a whirlwind of excursions. It’s here we learn Henry still has secrets about his aunt and himself. He and his manservant get into some heated discussions. Not matter what the characters are doing or plotting, or the confusion of who’s who, it’s the humor in Giles Havergal’s adaptation of Graham Greene’s novel that fills the evening with laughs. Marty Burnett’s scenic design and the design team provide a wonderful window into this puzzling and distinctive production. For tickets, call 858-481-1055, www.northcoastrep.org .

Chiropractor opens office National Multiple Sclerosis Society in Carmel Valley to host Walk MS in Carlsbad April 22

Dr. Sharon Brown, D.C., is a licensed chiropractor serving San Diego. Brown recently opened a clinic located at 12750 Carmel Country Road, Suite A111, San Diego (Carmel Valley), 92130. “We take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic services and wellness care to our patients!” Brown said. Brown grew up in Los Angeles. As a teen her interests were in art (oil painting) and the health industry. Brown worked as C.N.A. at Northridge Hospital, Jewish Home for the Aged, and Bob Barker’s Spastic Children’s Foundation, and she attended Santa Monica College Registered Nursing program, A.A., then changed her career choice to chiropractic, attending University of Health Sciences, B.S., D.C. Her first job as a chiropractor was in Beverly Hills with Edmund Chein, M.D. Soon, an opportunity arose in Melbourne, Australia at the Diskin Chiropractic Clinic. Brown eventually returned home to open her own offices in Newport Beach and Belmont

Dr. Sharon Brown, D.C. Shores, Calif. Brown moved her family to San Diego several years ago. She enjoys golf, tennis, horse riding, skiing and boogie boarding, and she continues her education about health and wellness and its strong connection with chiropractic by attending lectures about healthy foods, supplements, stents, diabetes, hormone health and especially the new “Text Neck” and more. Brown has worked locum tenens for other D.C.s throughout the San Diego community. Please text your name and number to 858-775-2107 for an appointment.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society in San Diego will host the 2017 San Diego County Credit Union Walk MS, a fundraising walk, starting at 5 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, April 22, along Armada Drive in Carlsbad. National MS Society officials expect about 3,500 people will walk and help raise more than $400,000 for MS research and program and services for people with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the

flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body. The route for the three-mile walk will be along Armada Drive overlooking the Carlsbad Flower Fields and looping around the Legoland California theme park. Check-in begins at 4 p.m. National MS Society officials said walkers will experience beautiful sunset views while spending an evening with friends and family members. The festival site will feature

live music, vendor booths, kid zone and more. Free snacks and beverages will be provided to walkers, plus live music and a festive finish line celebration. Admission is free to attend Walk MS. On-site registration will be available. Event information is available at www.WalkMS.org.

CHICO, a 2-year-old Domestic Short Hair, is looking for a family to love. This darling boy was brought in by his previous owners who could no longer take care of him. Chico may be a bit shy at ﬁrst, as most cats tend to be, but after he’s given some time to adjust to his new surroundings, he’s very silly and playful. Chico loves to hide under blankets, snuggle and play with other cats. He’d be the perfect companion for any easy-going, loving family looking to open their hearts to a sweet feline! Chico is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

“

I shared my wants and desires with Eddie and he showed me EXACTLY what I was looking for in the way of feeling safe. I was in a car accident over 2 years ago and have been afraid to drive, mostly because of blind spots. Every step of the transaction was the opposite of what I was expecting. It was a pleasurable experience and I even cried when it was over. I still can’t believe they got me into the car of my dreams that takes care of the things I feared while driving.

The April 30 Bags & Baubles event will raise funds and awareness for local pets in need of life-saving care.

FACE Foundation’s 7th Annual Bags & Baubles fundraiser is April 30 On Sunday, April 30, pet lovers and trendsetters alike will come together for the most fashionable fundraising event of the season – Bags & Baubles. From 1 - 5 p.m., the San Diego-based Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) will host its annual silent auction fundraising event at an exclusive Rancho Santa Fe estate to raise funds and awareness for local pets in need of life-saving care. “Bags & Baubles is a unique event that allows guests to shop ‘til they drop for a good great cause,” said FACE Executive Director Brooke Haggerty. Each item available for bid has been donated to the foundation to help raise money to prevent “economic euthanasia,” an issue where families are unable to afford life-saving surgery or treatment for their ill or injured pets. All funds raised at the event will go directly to animals in need. Along with the silent auction, guests will enjoy gourmet appetizers, wine and delicious desserts. Estate tours and spectacular opportunity drawing items will also be available to help raise funds for pets in need. Bags & Baubles offers guests the opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause while also indulging in a delightful afternoon. Hundreds of handbags from designer brands such as Prada, Dior, Kate Spade, Christian Louboutin, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton, Tory Burch, and more will be up for auction. The event will also feature an array of vintage items, fine jewelry pieces, and a collection of accessories and designer sunglasses from brands like Gucci, Valentino and Versace. Nearly 500 guests attended last year’s Bags & Baubles, which raised nearly $150,000 for pets facing “economic euthanasia.” Registration for the 2017 event is open and with a registration fee of only $25 per person, those interested in attending are encouraged to sign up quickly as the event sells out annually. Guests can register online at www.face4pets.org. Established in 2006, FACE is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 public charity that has saved the lives of over 1,700 local pets. Those looking for information about sponsorships or making a tax-deductible donation can contact FACE by calling 858-450-3223, visiting www.face4pets.org, or emailing events@face4pets.org

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - APRIL 20, 2017 - PAGE B25

Say ‘Grilled Cheese’ !

y cousins and I always had a friendly rivalry centered around the culinary skills of our mothers. My mom, hands down, made the best holiday dinners, while her oldest sister was famous for her date cookies, and the middle one admired for her melt-in-your-mouth apple pies. The last aunt (by marriage) was about as useful in the kitchen as a pair of open-toed stilettos climbing Mount Whitney in a blizzard. Still, her son defended her cooking prowess, bragging endlessly about her heavenly grilled cheese sandwiches. Of course, that was all she knew how to make (along with a bowl of Campbell’s cream of tomato soup to accompany the sandwich), but it was still undeniably delicious. The nostalgic grilled cheese sandwich is making a gustatory comeback as elegant eateries, casual diners and trendy food trucks creatively serve sophisticated (and complicated) versions of the iconic comfort food once only a basic item on the child’s menu. Now this sandwich has been honored with a day and whole month on the food calendar. Food folklorists believe that the American concept for the grilled cheese sandwich originated from French cafes

and bars in the early 1900s, where patrons enjoyed a quick and dirty fried ham and Swiss Emmantal cheese sandwich called Croque Monsieur (a gentleman’s crunch). A more elaborate rendition known as Croque Madame was also topped with a fried egg. As food technology advanced during the Roaring Twenties with the advent of both the bread slicer and processed cheese, the grilled cheese sandwich was a natural. Open-faced versions were popular fare on Naval ships during World War II, but it wasn’t until 1965 when Kraft Singles hit the market that the modern day grilled cheese sandwich was born. Today there are practically more grilled cheese amalgams than lottery ticket combinations from the original to the outrageous. A restaurant in the Big Apple boasts the world’s priciest grilled cheese sandwich exceeding $200. As well, orders must be made two days in advance so the grilled cheese gurus can meticulously assemble the edible extravaganza, which includes baking Dom Perignon into the bread, edging the crust with 24-carat gold leaf, and slathering the slices in gold-flecked truffle oil. Layers of rare southern Italian

Caciocavallo podolico cheese from the delicately scented milk of an ancient Asian breed of cow (then specially aged in pairs hanging from a wooden cavallo beam) is generously layered on the bread. Choice lobster meat is also added to the concoction. I’ve created my own sandwich board to suit the tastes and dietary preferences of a variety of grilled cheese lovers: • For a fancy, celebratory version, sprinkle Champagne on a hearty bread like pumpernickel before grilling. Layer roe or caviar of choice with English Brie or mascarpone. • The Caprice style uses crusty Italian bread, buffalo mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes and fresh shredded basil. • The Green-eyed Muenster is grilled with avocado, baby arugula and Persian cucumber. • The Fairy Tale features chunks of lobster meat paired with havarti on a sour dough or brioche roll. • The BLT with a healthy twist combines turkey or vegan bacon called “facon,” lacy Swiss, vine-ripened tomatoes and baby lettuces on rye. • Get your Goat Grilled Cheese with country white bread, smoked salmon, red onions and capers. • The Pizza Grilled Cheese has mozzarella, Parmesan or Grana Padano, and a chunky marinara sauce on a crusty Italian baguette. • The Vegan (or Lactose Intolerant) is made with soy or almond-based cheese, Portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions and baby spinach on honey whole-wheat. • The Deli sandwiches corned beef and melted Swiss between crispy potato

Classic Grilled Cheese ■ Ingredients: 2 slices thick-cut sour dough, country white or traditional sandwich loaf bread; 2 slices Cheddar (sharp or mild), Monterey Jack or Swiss; 2 tablespoons salted butter, softened at room temperature. ■ Method: Place cheese on one bread slice, and cover with second slice. Spread butter on both outer sides of the bread. Melt a dollop of butter in a skillet on medium heat. Place the sandwich in center and fry until the underside is golden, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes. Cut in half diagonally and serve with tomato soup. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

pancakes. • The Grilled Mediterranean piles roasted eggplant, red peppers, black olives and goat feta on an herb-crusted pita. • For breakfast and dessert, grill challah or sweet rolls, mascarpone or ricotta cheeses, and fresh berries, preserves or Nutella.
