Scaled-down Gateway project proposed Market not included
Rainbow Week at TPHS promotes understanding of LGBTQ issues. A5
LIFESTYLE
May 4, 2017
BY KAREN BILLING Landrock Development has decided to withdraw its request for a variance to increase the square footage of the proposed Village Gateway development and will instead be pursuing a scaled-down version of the project. Unfortunately for developer Enrique Landa, this
means that the plans no longer include a 5,000-square-foot market. “We are committed to helping the Rancho Santa Fe village thrive and have worked over the last five years to make this project a part of the revitalization of the village,” said Landa, who has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for over 25 years. “We want to provide a grocery store but under the circumstances, we’re not in the
position to do that.” The “shrunken-down” project, proposed for the current gas station property at the entrance to the village, is proposed to be a mix of retail and office space and to be in compliance with all Rancho Santa Fe Association governing documents. The Gateway project’s other proposed community amenities will remain, such as remediating the gas
station property’s potential environmental hazards, providing public open space and courtyards, providing off-street underground parking and delivering office space intended to free up Paseo Delicias for more retail offerings. They have also agreed not to house a financial institution or real estate brokerage in the project. SEE GATEWAY, A24
Village commercial project in discussions BY KAREN BILLING Story poles and a rendering of a new village development have sprouted up on the corner of La Granada and El Tordo in the RSF village. The proposed plan for the vacant lot next to Rancho Santa Fe Flowers and Gifts is a single-story, commercial, retail and office building, with 10 to 11 rooftop parking spaces. The building, designed in the Lilian Rice style with archways and decorative tile enhancements, is a potential new home for an enhanced Rancho Santa Fe Pharmacy featuring a “spirit shop” with some basic groceries. The project is currently going through the Covenant Design Review Committee process and was before the group on May 2 for another round of discussion. VINCENT ANDRUNAS

Via de la Valle widening could begin next year BY KAREN BILLING The widening of Via de la Valle from two to four lanes is expected to begin construction in summer 2018. On April 27, the Carmel Valley Community Planning board approved an extension of time for the widening — the project 14 years in the making received its site development permit in 2015 and it expired this month.
The project will result in a four-lane Via de la Valle from San Andres to El Camino Real to help serve a regional need. The existing two-lane road is built for a maximum of 10,000 average daily trips (ADTs), but the current volume is almost double that at 17,000 ADTs. The city is projecting 27,000 ADTs by 2030 and a four-lane road would have

a capacity for 30,000. The hope is the widened Via de la Valle would carry that capacity to and from the I-5 freeway. Once the road meets El Camino Real, it goes back down to two lanes into Rancho Santa Fe. The widening and realignment of El Camino Real was last projected to begin construction in 2021.
The planning board voted against the widening in a 9-2 vote in September 2013 due to concerns about the impact on Del Mar Horsepark users and businesses adjacent to the road. Due to the planning board’s input, the road is as narrow as possible through the sensitive San Dieguito Riverpark area with minimal medians and SEE WIDENING, A24

Rainbow Week promotes understanding of LGBTQ issues The Rainbow Pride and Transgender Pride Flags flew in the Torrey Pines High School’s Learning Commons April 17-21 as part of the campus’ third annual Rainbow Week put on by the school’s Gender & Sexualities Alliance Club. Rainbow Week coincided with the student-led National Day of Silence on April 21 to bring attention to anti-LGBTQ bullying and harassment. Some students took a vow of silence for the day while others joined for a silent lunch on the quad in an effort to show support for the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) community by illustrating the silencing effect of bullying on LGBTQ students and those perceived to be LGBTQ. “Rainbow Week is one way students come together to share their experiences and have discussions to increase understanding, which can increase respect and safety if we are willing to consider another person's experiences and humanity,” said Don Collins, the advisor for the GSA. “The week is one way to help everyone see and understand that every student has a right to a safe, free public education. The district school board passed an important resolution in March that restates their policies for safe and inclusive schools and supports California state laws.” The TPHS Jazz Band performed at lunch on April 19 after an assembly attended by 800 students. Guest speakers Kathie Moehlig, Isaac Gomez and Relle Goan from Trans Family Support Services talked about the gender spectrum and their personal

Rebekah J. Hook-Held of the San Diego LGBT Community Center talked about services provided by the center and presented information on anti-LGBTQ bills currently being debated around the country. Piril Nirgis, the Torrey Pines GSA vice president, read a letter written by a trans sophomore student currently attending Torrey Pines, who remained anonymous. The student wrote about how he only has one friend and on most days never talks to
anyone but a teacher. “I’m what society would call ‘transgender’ when in reality I am only being true to myself. I’m not confused, for me being trans is not about my gender, it’s about my identity. I identify as male and will for the rest of my life,” the student wrote. “Every day I worry about our country and specifically the LGBTQ community as a whole. There are groups of people who don’t understand which includes some who

are not at all interested to consider LGBTQ experiences and struggles in order to understand. They’d even say some of us shouldn’t be able to go in the bathroom we think and know we belong in, when in reality, you haven’t noticed us in the first place. We are not different, we are as human as you are, and that includes me. A bathroom is just a bathroom and no one, including you, should be restricted to go just because someone thinks you're something that you aren't.” Collins said the student’s letter and the speakers’ stories were powerful and generated a lot of thought and discussion. “Rainbow Week is a good reminder of the kids on campus that we might not think about and it does a great job of letting them know they are included as part of our school,” reflected junior Ty Willden. “I think it’s important and it definitely has a place here.” “I think bringing a subject like this to campus just brings more criticism to it. In a certain way people in the LGBT crowd can be misunderstood, so in a way this event was important, but it can also add fuel to the fire,” said senior Curtis Broxterman. “I disagree with having programs like this or Black History Month in school because it creates division. Putting a label on yourself puts you up for criticism and scrutiny whether that’s being a jock or being gay.” Piril said in past years, the GSA saw the usual writing on posters and torn down decorations but this year they noticed more SEE LGBTQ, A26

Canyon Crest tennis sends off senior players BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy boys tennis team celebrated its graduating seniors Roman Shenkiryk and Nathan Parikh at a senior send-off event on April 26 before the team’s final match of the regular season. The senior send-off is a new tennis tradition at CCA that was introduced by the girls squad a couple years ago. “We had a great season, probably the strongest record I’ve been associated with,” said Coach Larry Belinsky of the very young team’s 12 wins and three losses this year. Post-season CIF match-ups were determined over the weekend. The talented team will only be losing two seniors this year, including Nathan, who Belinsky said earned his spot on the varsity squad through hard work and determination. “Nathan is the epitome of what we look for in a student athlete here at CCA,” Belinsky said. “Not only has he been an outstanding student but he has also proven his worth as a great teammate and true ambassador for the culture we promote.” Belinsky complimented Nathan’s extraordinary leadership, enthusiasm and loyal dedication — traits he will carry with him as he attends Duke University in the fall. Roman, who made the varsity team as a freshman, served as team captain this year. “When I first laid eyes on Roman as a freshman in 2014, I knew I was looking at someone very special. Little did I know or

He made his school, coaches, teammates, family and himself very proud.” Roman will attend UC San Diego in the fall. Athletic Director Brian Baum said that aside from all of Roman’s and Nathan’s tennis accomplishments, what the administration is most proud of is that they were great individuals and great leaders both at school and on the court.

Fictional painting stands at center of time-traveling novel BY JOE TASH A landscape painting of a barefoot girl standing next to a tree at dusk, looking out on a group of skaters on a frozen river below her, is the focal point of a novel that touches on themes of art, longing and loss by novelist Dominic Smith. Smith, a native of Australia who now lives in Austin, Texas, was the featured speaker at the April 19 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar Resort. His talk focused on his latest novel, “The Last Painting of Sara De Vos,” published by Sarah Crichton Books in 2016. Smith’s ambitious novel offers readers a kind of time-traveling experience, as it is set in three different continents over a period of more than three centuries. It details a young woman artist in the Netherlands in the 17th century, whose work touches on the lives of two people in 1950s New York City and early 2000s Sydney, Australia. The idea for the novel came to Smith, he said in an interview before his talk, out of his own experience wandering through art museums in Amsterdam 17 years ago, while he was working for an Internet startup and raising a young family. At the time, he took notes about what he called “the lost women painters of the Dutch Golden Age.” Years later, when he was thinking about beginning his fourth novel, he went through the notes and hit on the idea of building the story around a fictional painting. With that idea, he said, “I was off to the races. I knew how to write this book.” The painting becomes a lens through which to view his three main characters: the
MCKENZIE IMAGES
Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society President Candace Humber, author Dominic Smith, Northern Trust Events & Marketing Kelly Colvard painter Sara De Vos, art history student Ellie Shipley, and wealthy art collector and heir Marty de Groot. Both the artist and the painting are Smith’s creations, although they are inspired by real-life women painters and works from the 17th century. But because women painters of the period did not typically paint landscapes for a variety of reasons, Smith had to draw on the work of male artists to craft his fictional painting. “You want it to draw on a framework of
historical fact. Within that, you’re going to find places to invent,” Smith said. He wanted his fictional painting to be a landscape so it would “be haunting... so you could look at the painting and wonder who is the girl, why is she barefoot and what does it mean? It’s hard to do that with a vase full of tulips.” In the novel, Smith offered this description of the painting, called “At the Edge of a Wood,” through the eyes of a businessman in Amsterdam in 1637, who
stumbles across the work at an estate sale: “The barefoot girl with her pale hand against the birch, leaning toward the skaters; the light on the horizon that is both serene and ominous. Looking at the painting makes Pieter think of those wintry afternoons when as a boy he waited for dusk to settle over the house and for the first tallow candles to be lit. His father would become quiet and speculative and tell stories about dead relatives. The smell of supper would kindle from the stewpot in the flames of the hearth. The painting contains all of this. It is about the moment before nightfall, about waiting to cross over.” Another thread of the story concerns a forgery of the Sara de Vos painting. To achieve authenticity, Smith spent a full year reading about the Dutch Golden Age, and interviewing subject matter experts on topics such as art history and the restoration of paintings. He even took up an email correspondence with a master forger who had written a memoir about his exploits. In the course of his research, Smith learned that only 25 women had been admitted to the Guilds of St. Luke, which in the 17th century controlled such aspects of artistic life as who could sign, date and sell paintings. By contrast, thousands of men were admitted to the guilds in the Netherlands during that period. Much of the work of these women painters did not survive, or was not attributed to them. Therefore, said Smith, in writing his book, he focused on “building a novel from the gaps and silences of history.” For more on Smith, visit www.dominicsmith.net

Launchbox’s Dan Negroni: Stop complaining, stay relevant BY SEBASTIAN MONTES It’s been three years since Dan Negroni traded in his life as a “CEO for hire” and started pouring his energies into his millennial-centric consulting firm Launchbox (launchbox365.com). And it’s been one year since that new life crystallized into his book “Chasing Relevance,” his take on how to get people over their generational hang-ups. We caught up with the 52-year-old Del Mar resident in Launchbox’s Sorrento Valley office last week and reflected on generational misconceptions and the future of the workplace as we know it. (Some answers have been edited for length.) Q: Complaints about millennials have been common fare for years now. Are the lessons being learned? A: I think the world is overbaked with the negative soundtrack for millennials. Everyone tells me “Oh millennials suck.” That’s not been my experience. I’ve meet 5,000 this year and 95 percent of them are amazing. The No. 1 thing they want is to learn and grow. And the next generation is coming up, Generation Z. Never before have there been five generations in the workforce, but you do now with the Gen Z. So I don’t think people can avoid it anymore. Q: You cite figures that millennials make up nearly 40 percent of the workforce. Why has it been so hard to assimilate such a large group? A: Let’s call Gen Z and millennials “digital natives.” That’s really what the distinction is. We’ve always complained about the generation beneath us — Socrates was complaining about Plato. What’s different now is they’ve grown up in a world where their every need has been served by digital. Tinder, Uber Eats, you can
order anything from Amazon and get it within a day. Everything is much easier. But then they get out of college and go into the workplace and everything is archaic and old and nothing’s easy. Here’s the challenge: the digital natives have no memory of what it used to be like. The people in power, they have a complete memory of what it used to be like, so they see the world as it was, which is not that relevant to the digital natives. So the disconnect is both sides. Young people need to get out of the me me me. They need to show up, be real and make it about others. Old people need to do the same thing. Stop complaining that you want it your way: that ship has sailed. Q: Sounds like the older millennials are growing up… A: They are our future, our employees, our customers and they’re even our bosses. So there’s this whole perspective that’s shifting. I mean, 37 is a grown-ass person right? You may be reporting to that person, they may be your boss and you may be my age, 52. So you better understand their perspective if you want to succeed in that workplace. Just as they should understand you, by the way. Both sides need to shift to making it about others, and stop whining and complaining. Q: This has implications that go far beyond the workplace… A: If we got out of our own way and started understanding millennials in the workplace, imagine the window they could give us to this next huge generation — 83 million strong — of consumers and buyers. That’s this huge thing that people don’t get; if I figure out how to treat my millennials right, there’s great insight into
Dan Negroni
SEBASTIAN MONTES
how my new next-generation customer wants to be treated. Isn’t it about time we start paying attention to what they want? They’re bigger, they want to be more innovative, and soon they will be able to afford to move to places like Del Mar. Q: On that note, what impacts do you see millennials having locally? A: Clearly, the corridor of Del Mar Heights has a lot of millennial professionals — service providers, accountants, the big law firms, a lot
of high tech employers in that area, too. But local officials have a problem: they don’t want growth and they don’t want traffic, but millennials like urban areas. So therein lies the challenge for those towns. The other challenge is the cost: how does a millennial afford to live in Solana Beach or Del Mar or Rancho Santa Fe? What does that say about those areas: do they become less innovative, less hip, less cool? Yes is probably the answer. Q: What does the future have in store for Launchbox? A: Our dance card is getting really full. We’ve added coaches. We’re expanding our workshops. The next big project is a partnership for a huge summit here in San Diego for millennials. That’ll be in February, and it’ll be sponsored by one of the biggest companies in San Diego. We’re also launching a podcast next month and we’re working on a TV show for coaching. We’ve also figured out a way to create an app that is like a career/workplace coach, that creates self-engagement and encourages growth. Q: It’s been a year since your book came out. Has that lived up to your goals? A: The book was written for a bunch of reasons, mostly to get the messaging and the tools out there. It became No. 1 on Amazon in its category. To sell 6,000 copies within a year when you self-publish is pretty cool. But more important is the impact it’s had on people’s lives, where you get people coming up to you saying, ‘I tried what you said in this section and I did it and it worked,’ or ‘I understand how to be a better parent to these millennials.’ So I think it’s doing what it was supposed to do.

Ybarra’s latest album What I Really Wanted to Say earned the entertainer two Grammy considerations in 2016, debuting on the iTunes Top 100 Country Chart. His single, “Why Would I Do That” has put him on the ballot for multiple Grammy considerations in 2017. The San Diego-based entertainer tours nationally and has been featured with Eric Church, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain, Gavin DeGraw, and many others. The Country Friends luncheon, chaired by Erika Horn and Helga Schulman, also features ladies’ fashions, jewelry, and handbags from such vendors as Adornments, Jewels with a Purpose, Kendra Scott, and Maggie B, as well as informal modeling during the program and luncheon. Guests can enter to win fabulous clothing and accessories in the opportunity drawing, or a 14k yellow gold diamond and emerald ring from David & Sons Fine Jewelers valued at $5,000. Chef Jesse Frost has created a special menu of lemon grass steamed Scottish salmon with sautéed spinach, parsley risotto and lemon chive beurre blanc or vegetarian risotto with sautéed spinach. Dessert is a trio of sorbet with fresh berries. A complimentary glass of wine is included with the $85 ticket price. During the luncheon, TCF member Elaine Beccera will ask guests to raise the paddle for “Brick Week,” from May 8-12, to support the organization’s Legacy Campaign. The campaign’s goal is to create an endowment fund to help those most in need. The Country Friends raises money to benefit San Diego County-based charities through its signature “Art of Fashion” and other fundraisers, membership dues, and proceeds from the sale of furniture, china, crystal, and art at its Consignment Shop in Rancho Santa Fe.

LIVE VIBRANTLY Canyon Crest Academy music students in Italy.
COURTESY
For Canyon Crest’s orchestra and choir, a trip to Italy caps an eventful year BY ROB LEDONNE It was a expedition that took 10 months of planning, with complicated logistics and an extensive itinerary, but in the end it was all worth it for the students at Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision music classes who, in mid-April, experienced the sights and sounds of Italy. “Everyone did a fantastic job of representing our school and community in the best possible way,” said Amy Villanova, the coordinator of the school’s Instrumental Music Program who is no doubt still getting over jetlag. “We had a great experience, and I think the students really enjoyed exploring together.” The trip, spearheaded by Villanova along with Envision Vocal Music Coordinator Anne Whattoff, was meant to show the students Italy’s rich musical heritage. The group gallivanted around the country and took in the likes of the Vatican, ancient
Roman ruins, and museums galore. Of course the students performed as well, appearing at a show in Venice that served as a fundraiser for Amnesty International that Villanova notes “a few local dignitaries attended.” In addition, there were also programs in both Rome and Mirano. “They included both the choir and orchestra, along with a few vocal soloists. Our programs were mostly classical, with an emphasis on Italian composers, but we threw in a few more modern works as well. They were well received and we had great attendance.” This trip was funded primarily through donations and corporate matching. Notes Villanova, “We performed several concert fundraisers, and we sold quite a bit of See’s Candies to cover our scholarship students’ costs.” The experience, however, was an SEE CHOIR, A26

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MAY 4, 2017 - PAGE A17
Age is no barrier for local lady surfers BY JOE TASH Through the ups and downs of raising families, building careers and suffering from illnesses and injuries, Taffi Parrish and Linda Little have always come back to the ocean - and their love of surfing. Both women are now in their 50s, but they don’t plan to give up catching waves anytime soon. “It’s a forever sport,” said Parrish, 53, a resident of Del Mar. Little, also 53, who lives in Carmel Valley, said she might change boards or surf spots, “but I’m not going to stop surfing.” The two women are members of San Diego Surf Ladies, a group of women surfers of varied age and experience, who band together for camaraderie and to chase waves. Parrish and Little were featured in the March issue of Open Skies magazine, which is published by Emirates airline, in an article about older surfers. “It’s my passion, it brings peace,” said Parrish of surfing. “If you’re having a bad day you go out there and it wipes it all away for you.” Little agreed that surfing transports her to a tranquil place, removed from the cares of daily life. Out on the board, she said, “I can’t check email, I can’t fold laundry. It’s our own time.”
Dan Mori, founder and co-owner of Fulcrum Surf school, said roughly a third of his clients are over 50. “They’re totally able to do it,” he said between lessons at Del Mar’s Powerhouse Park, yards from the beach. Mori, who has coached Parrish, said that although surfing can be a challenging sport, “You have to get back on the horse and get back out there, just like life.” Both Parrish and Little surfed as teens growing up in Southern California, then took long hiatuses from the sport. Parrish moved to Georgia for 15 years, and Little said, “I didn’t have time with kids and a job, there was too much going on.” They rediscovered surfing several years ago, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for either woman. Parrish suffered a concussion when her board struck her on the head four years ago, and she had to stop surfing for nine months after breaking her ankle. Little interrupted her own reunion with the sport to undergo treatment for breast cancer. During her chemotherapy treatment or before surgery, she said, her nurses and doctors would tell her, “think of your happy place. (For me) it was the ocean,” she said.
The sport allows her to spend quality time with her family, as her husband and younger daughter also surf. “We have a really good time surfing together,” she said. Parrish surfs most days with her son, a freshman at Torrey Pines High School. Both her son and Little’s daughter, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, take surf P.E. classes at their schools. While the two women are regular fixtures at Del Mar’s beach, the sight of women surfers in their 50s is still a bit out of the ordinary. “People always seem surprised when we get up and ride waves,” Little said. The women try to observe surfing etiquette, whether it’s getting out of a fellow surfer’s way as he or she catches a wave, or helping an exhausted beginner paddle back to shore. “Just be kind and friendly out there,” said Parrish. But they also know their limits, and when the surf is too “gnarly” or the waves are too big, Little said she is content to drink coffee from shore and watch others take their chances. “It’s harder than it looks. It’s exhausting,” said Little. “The ocean is a force.” Visit sandiegosurfladies.com

S
an Dieguito Union High School District trustee John Salazar has asked SDUHSD superintendent Eric Dill and board president Amy Herman to place on the May 11 board agenda the proposed state bill that would require all public middle and high schools to start school no earlier than 8:30 a.m. “Let’s show some leadership and support this bill,” Salazar wrote to Dill and Herman in an email. “It is good for the kids, and will bring in more revenue too.” The bill – SB 328 – has gained approval by the Senate Education Committee and is moving through the legislature, despite opposition from the California Teachers Association. Bill author Democratic Sen. Anthony Portantino said sound research from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control indicates overwhelmingly that later start times are healthier for teenage students whose sleep patterns in adolescence make early rising difficult. Studies conducted over the last two decades have shown conclusively that later start times promote student health and well-being, raise academic achievement and improve attendance. Reduced absenteeism means more revenue for school districts, most of which are funded based on the average daily attendance of students. It’s not just adolescents who would benefit from later start times. A recent study published in “Frontiers in Human Neuroscience” cites more data showing that “early education start times for students in the 14–24 age range are linked to chronic, irrecoverable sleep loss of more than two hours each day.” Based on this extended age range, the authors posit that college classes starting earlier than 9 a.m. are as equally detrimental to college students as they are for high schoolers. The NPR article on this is titled “Down With 8 A.M. Classes: Undergrads Learn Better Later In The Day, Study Finds.” School districts have been presented with irrefutable evidence for decades, but few have taken any action. At last, someone in the California legislature is forcing their hand. Some history Back in 2002 and 2003, former Torrey Pines High School parent and community activist Wayne Dunlap worked tirelessly to get SDUHSD to change the start time at TPHS from the ungodly hour of 7:15 a.m. to the barely reasonable 8:15 a.m. The only trustee back then who is still serving on the SDUHSD board is Joyce Dalessandro, who was first elected in 1996. Dunlap lost his battle, even after gathering hundreds of signatures and armed with studies and more studies to show that later start times are better for students. Emails Dunlap wrote to me at the time reveal the depth of his insight into the insurmountable problems he faced. “School boards are not usually pro-active,”
he wrote. “They come together once a month to discuss an agenda that is pretty much set by school officials, not the board. Then they go home. Rarely do any of the board members push their own ideas. “Also, school boards are the most status quo organizations in our society … They are easily swayed by status quo arguments … Hence, not much is changed and our schools remain doing things the same without much question. “So, if you want something done, you have to mount a strong, consistent, well-organized, intelligent campaign to get something on the board agenda and then passed. The community must initiate change because the school system will not.” Dunlap and supporters asked for one hour – they got 30 minutes. This was called a compromise by the board and a huge disappointment by the petitioners. Amy Herman said she would be willing to discuss the issue at the next board meeting but was not comfortable voting on it yet, even though any vote on whether to support the bill would be purely symbolic. She said she’d like to hear more from parents on how later start times would impact them. San Dieguito supt. Dill said the item will be placed on the May 11 agenda for discussion only, no vote. No-hate zones In an unrelated subject, San Diego Unified School District’s controversial new anti-bullying campaign designed to help protect Muslim students has received nationwide attention. In developing the initiative, SDUSD was aided by the Council for American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization. Under the plan, SD Unified may include social studies lessons on Islam, list Islamic holidays on the school calendar, and create “safe spaces” for Muslim students at schools. Critics have said it favors Muslim students over other cultures and religions, and still others say it violates the separation of church and state. The district denies that it’s giving Muslim students special attention. Though this is a noble effort, there are students of other religions that may need protection as well. For example, according to the Anti-Defamation League, anti-Semitic incidents nationwide at non-Jewish elementary, middle and high schools increased 106 percent last year, from 114 in 2015 to 235 in 2016. This increase accelerated in the first three months of 2017, when 95 incidents were reported. “These incidents need to be seen in the context of a general resurgence of white supremacist activity in the United States,” said Oren Segal, director of the ADL Center on Extremism. Locally, the ADL recorded a 33 percent increase in anti-Semitic incidents in San Diego County in 2016 over 2015. And in the first three months of 2017 the ADL said there was a four-fold increase over the same time period in
www.rsfreview.com 2016. In a news release, Tammy Gillies, ADL’s Regional Director in San Diego, expressed her concern for this upward trend in anti-Semitism, stating, “Not only have we seen a dramatic increase in anti-Semitic incidents directed at the San Diego Jewish community, but perhaps most concerning of all is the dramatic increase of these incidents in schools.” “Schools are a microcosm of the country,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “Children absorb messages from their parents and the media, and bring them into their schools and playgrounds. We are very concerned the next generation is internalizing messages of intolerance and bigotry.” The 2016 presidential election and the heightened political atmosphere played a role in the increase, according to the ADL. Yes, there’s appalling bullying of Muslim students based on religion, but Muslims aren’t the only ones targeted. I would bet there are few adults who did not experience some kind of bullying or torment from peers in their school days – for being too tall, too short, too stocky, too thin, too disabled, too dark, too pale, too gay, too geeky, too Greek, too Italian, too Asian, too Hispanic, too African-American, too Irish, too Christian, too rich, too poor, too ... different. Perhaps a program that seeks to educate students and eliminate hatred against all forms of bias would be a better and more broad-based approach. The ADL’s “No Place for Hate” incorporates ways to counter bigotry in all forms, including sexual orientation as well as prejudice based on religion, race and gender. The goal of “No Place for Hate” is “to inspire a national movement led by students and educators who are committed to using the power of positive peer influence to build inclusive and safe schools in which all students can thrive,” according to the San Diego ADL website. “No Place for Hate,” the site states, “is an organizing framework for K-12 schools committed to creating sustainable change that leads to improved school climate.” The program utilizes anti-bias and anti-bullying resources “to form one powerful message that all students have a place to belong.” “No Place for Hate” is just one example of an inclusive K-12 educational program that addresses how to battle all kinds of discrimination. There are more. Educating children against Islamophobia is essential, but so is education against other forms of bigotry. All children at schools and colleges have the right to study and learn in environments that are non-threatening and free from bullying. Entire schools should be safe spaces.

Correction In a story that ran April 27, the dates of rate increases imposed by the Santa Fe Irrigation District were reported incorrectly. In 2016, the district’s board approved a rate plan calling for three 9-percent rate increases between 2016 and 2018. The first took effect June 1, 2016, the second on Jan. 1, 2017, and the third is proposed for Jan. 1, 2018.

FROM GATEWAY, A1 As the Landas began planning Gateway five years ago, they requested that the Association consider granting a variance to increase the project’s floor area ratio (FAR) for various reasons, including the ability to increase the square footage allowed and to create a financial cushion for the risk associated with remediating potential soil contamination under the longstanding gas station property. As Gateway went through the process, Stump’s Market closed and the Covenant Design Review Committee (CDRC) and the board suggested that Landrock try and secure a market tenant, which it then incorporated into its plan. Landa said the inclusion of the market made the FAR increase even more imperative to the financial viability of Gateway as grocers are not able to pay Rancho Santa Fe’s high rents. The project was approved by the CDRC in October 2016 and was slated to go before the RSF Association board for approval. The Landas worked with Bill Cardon of the CDRC, Building Commissioner Tom Farrar and then-Association attorney Alan Zuckerman to negotiate the final terms of the Restrictive Covenant. The Landas were set to present the project to the board for approval when they were advised that the Association had changed counsel and the new attorneys wanted to provide their input. Landa said that the resulting revised draft felt like it set the project back 10 months and included concepts that they previously indicated would make the project infeasible. The Association’s request to include a

We thought it was inappropriate to agree to something for forever given to serve a particular need now.” Another issue was that the Association board wanted pre-approval of the grocer or any subsequent retail tenant. “The problem with that was that a tenant was not going to wait for three to seven months to get approved by the board before going into a space when other space options

Passage of Proposition 64 in November, which legalized recreational marijuana, was the turning point he needed to move forward with Goodlife. “It’s the new dawn,” Bame said. “This has been a long, long process. Nobody took this lightly.” Unlike Los Angeles, the Bay Area and other canna-friendly jurisdictions, cannabis gatherings in San Diego have been limited to events such as the San Diego Cannabis Farmers Market and LocalSesh —discretely promoted affairs in rented-out venues with a few hundred attendees. (A cannabis trade expo at the San Diego Convention Center in August did not allow marijuana on site.) But with the visibility that comes with as high profile a venue as the Del Mar Fairgrounds, San Diego’s cannabis activists are hailing Goodlife as their movement’s coming-out party. “This will be the biggest show at the most prestigious location in all of San Diego County,” one organizer said. “It’s our time to shine. If you look everywhere else, they have their cannabis festivals. But what’s going on in San Diego? Not much. This is the next step up for San Diego. Definitely a watershed moment. After this it’s going to be so mainstream it’s not even funny.” Cities across North County have clamped

They wouldn’t want to take the risks of such a political process,” Fernando Landa said. “It made leasing the retail space if not impossible, incredibly difficult with those restrictions.” Another condition the Landas found unworkable was the requirement that if there is not a market tenant when the project is complete they have to wait six months before any other tenant can move into the project. “We can’t have a space empty for six months, we were not willing to take that risk,” Enrique Landa said.

down on cannabis as much as state law allows, uniformly barring dispensaries and grow operations. But because the fairgrounds is state-owned, city and county officials are powerless to resist. So for one day, at least, Del Mar will be an oasis of pot-tolerance. Cannabis events have sparked controversy in even the pot-friendliest of places. In Denver, Seattle, San Jose and Los Angeles, local officials and venue owners have shunned the gatherings, forcing organizers to look farther and farther afield. The purge in Los Angeles last year fanned promoters out into the dusty hinterlands in search of somewhere to put down stakes. One of those refuges has been the San Bernardino County fairgrounds. Until last spring, the 87-acre facility had never hosted a cannabis event, and their arrival whipped the surrounding towns — known as the High Desert — into a fever pitch. Tempers there flared in the run-up to the fairgrounds’ second cannabis event, the three-day Chalice California festival in July, which billed itself as “the biggest hash festival in America.” The Victorville City Council called on fairground managers to cancel Chalice and bar any other cannabis event. The fair board responded by adding more events to the calendar. One of the board members resigned her seat in protest. The 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which runs the Del Mar
and son Mark passed away within months of each other in 2016. “We promised to do our best effort to get the best building and the best design for the family because it’s a very important asset for the family,” said Enrique Landa, who first befriended the family as a customer of the station. “We’re trying to get the project approved as fast as we can…At some point we have to go for not the best alternative but the next best thing. We just feel that we need to move on.” The Landas stressed that their dealings with the Association have been very positive, respectful and amicable. Enrique said the Association staff has been great to work with and that they have become friends throughout the process — he wishes they could find a solution that works for everyone. “Association staff is working with Landrock Development on a plan that will be in the best interests of the community,” said Christy Whalen, assistant manager of the Association. “We are continuing discussions with the developer about the Gateway project, which would include a potential market as well as retail, offices, open space and underground parking.” “We will do everything we can to have a market in Rancho Santa Fe, within reason,” Enrique said. “We love Rancho Santa Fe, we want the village to thrive, we want houses to have better home values and to have more services for the community.” “We have been working toward a project that everyone can be proud of,” Enrique continued. “We call it Gateway because it will dramatically improve the window to Rancho Santa Fe. The open space is going to be fantastic.”
Commission does not allow mitigation for coastal impacts, they did a slight shift 5 feet south for one section of the road to keep no impact to coastal sage. Greenhalgh said they will now begin the preliminary design stage with the plan to get construction documents permitted by spring 2018 and, after a public bid process, begin construction in summer 2018.
Fairgrounds, does not appear to have been aware that the deal had been inked for the Goodlife Festival. Board president Russ Penniman was unavailable for comment on Monday afternoon. Board member Frederick Schenk said the board does not hear about events this far in advance. “I’m not educated enough on the issue to have a position,” he said. “Between now and September, I’m sure that the board will become much more aware.” When asked about the festival Monday night, May 1, the Del Mar City Council was caught unaware. Councilman Dwight Worden said he wants to “look into it a little bit.” “What they’re doing is now legal; they have a right to be there,” he said, before acknowledging that the council’s influence over the fairgrounds is “limited at best.” The Del Mar version will be far smaller than cannabis festivals held at other state fairgrounds. Whereas more than 100,000 people took over most of the San Bernardino fairgrounds for the Chalice festival, the Goodlife Festival will be limited to the paddock area. Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, said any concerns he may have had were put to rest after talking with his counterparts elsewhere in the state. “The voters voted, it’s legal and we’re a public entity,” Fennell said. “It’d be hard to deny somebody like Lawrence access to a public
facility. Other DAA’s have been doing it for years legally. How would I deny this?” Bame is partnering with an array of local cannabis promoters and entrepreneurs to plan Goodlife’s schedule of exhibits, entertainment and seminars. Doctors will be on site to speak in panels and to give evaluations for medical marijuana cards. A large part of Goodlife’s rationale, Bame said, is to reach a wider — and older — demographic that is proving to be the fastest-growing group of cannabis users. “We want to make sure we’re not just hitting the typical stoners,” said one of his partner organizers, who declined to be identified. “There’s those old folks in Del Mar who are going to see this and will want to come down to check it out, to learn what we’re all about, so we’re going to mainly go after them. Our focus is not going to be the typical festivals like High Times or Chalice. This is going to be a cool little hybrid with music and educational components.” And already, Bame is prepared for the inevitable backlash. “If this gives people anxiety, maybe they should consider medicating with cannabis,” he said. “The reality is that cannabis is legal in the state of California, end of subject. There’s rules and regulations and whatnot, and we intend to follow all of them. If people have political or other objections, they can have those objections. But I think that train already left the station.”

verbal insults being thrown around. He said the club understood the resistance as they know it will take time for society to adjust but they were a little taken aback by the amount of derogatory questions and attention. “We attributed this increase in resistance to the changes happening in our political climate. I hope that human rights won't be a partisan issue in the coming years. This resistance only hurts the LGBTQ+ students at our school who are afraid to speak up. Like the mother of the trans son said at the assembly, ‘I am most afraid of you, the students, when I send my transgender son to class trips.’ We even saw someone write ‘lol’ on the ‘40% of teens who commit suicide identify as LGBT’ poster,” Piril said. “TP GSA honestly hopes that much of this resistance is only caused by immaturity, and that seemed to be the case in previous years, but now we aren't so sure." Collins said the shared experiences heard on Rainbow Week can be lifelong lessons for students. “Imagine if next week or five, or 10, or even 20 years from now someone close to you like a best friend or your brother or a parent, came out as lesbian or gay or transgender. You might think that would never happen, but it happens every day,” Collins said. “How would you want other people to treat your sister or your brother or your parent? Would you worry about your best friend's safety or discrimination they might face at school or at work? Would you be able to accept them and love them and support them? Rainbow Week can help reduce the fear and misunderstanding that creates conflict.” --Compiled by Karen Billing

Making connections through plants and nature BY LISA DEADERICK hen Julian Duval was interviewing for his current job at the San Diego Botanic Gardens in Encinitas, he learned that the garden maybe had two years’ worth of funding to carry it through. That was an admittedly scary thought for him to leave a stable job in Indianapolis for something much more uncertain. “I had not been to the garden before my interview, and on my way, I saw the signs for it on Interstate 5. What a great first impression. With that marketing potential, we only needed to have people realize it was there for them and not just a preserve for plants,” he says. “I felt I could make that happen.” He took the job and the challenge on in 1995, and 22 years later, the garden has expanded its staff and volunteers, modified its footprint and entered into mutually beneficial partnerships with neighboring organizations. Today, Duval, 70, serves as president and CEO and lives with his wife and their pets on site, at the 37.5-acre garden. He took some time to talk about his work there, the mission to “inspire people to connect with plants and nature,” and his own personal collection of literally hundreds of plants. Q: What first led you to accept the job with the gardens back in 1995? A: Part of the inspiration for moving to San Diego was for a preferred climate, but not so much for myself; primarily for the incredible diversity of plants that could be

Seems in nature they are always together. The San Diego Botanic Garden, although it was called Quail Botanical Garden then, with its coastal location in Southern California, has arguably the best climate “Goldilocks zone” of any public garden in the U.S. Also, the garden had only recently stopped being run by San Diego County, and I felt the challenge of making the garden a success as a self-supporting public garden was also a reason for coming. Q: What was your goal when you
arrived? A: I took the job knowing that we had to beat the clock on running out of funds to keep the garden open. So job one became improving the visitor experience and having people hear about it. The American Bamboo Society planted some stands of bamboo in a vacant area of the garden and our first big addition to the visitor experience was turning that into the garden’s Bamboo Garden in 1996. The county helped with some funding, but so did private individuals who believed in the future of the garden, including a dear donor
who funded a beautiful bronze sculpture by James Hubbell, which he created for the Bamboo Garden, titled “Asian Shadows.” We have had an important relationship with James Hubbell ever since. Q: How did your interest in horticulture begin? A: Like a lot of young children, other living things were something that always held my attention. I was fortunate to have parents and grandparents who also appreciated nature, and my earliest memory of a horticultural experience was my grandmother giving me a cutting of her Coleus plant and telling me if I put the bottom of that cutting in water, it would sprout roots and I could then grow my own plant. I must have been in second grade and was excited to see if this could actually happen. I can still remember the morning, about a week after daily checks, when it happened. There were tiny, new white roots sticking out of the stem. I was thrilled and it seemed like the most magical thing in the world. Q: What is it about nature that you’ve always been drawn to, always connected with? A: Caring for things and seeing them respond to care was an important feedback loop for me that kept me acquiring more plants. I eventually combined them with small animals, like frogs, in a terrarium. This was how it all progressed for me. I was the kid who never turned in his lightning bug collecting bottle for a baseball glove. I SEE GARDEN, B22

The Office star Creed Bratton headed to Belly Up for night of music and comedy
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY ROB LEDONNE There aren’t many people in entertainment who can say they’ve been a part of a smash television show as well as a hit band. As one of the stars of NBC’s hit comedy series The Office and a former member of the ’60s rock group The Grass Roots, Creed Bratton is one of the few who has that distinction. “From a philosophy point of view, you could say that everyone has their own destiny,” notes Bratton from his Los Angeles-area home. “If something changed or things were different, would I be where I am with these two successes under my belt?” One of the most popular comedies in television history, The Office, which starred Steve Carell as the bumbling Michael Scott and focused on a hapless group of workers for fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin, aired on NBC from 2005 to 2013. Along the way it was a ratings and critical hit, netting multiple Emmy awards. The half-hour sitcom also catapulted a then-unknown group of actors into cult heroes, including Bratton who played an eponymous colleague who was equal parts strange and mysterious. “Everyone took their characters seriously,” said Bratton of the
reason for the show’s hit status, which even inspired an Office convention in Scranton, Penn. “What we’d hear all the time is that it was real. I think that’s why we had such an audience. We didn’t have a laugh track and allowed for long awkward moments and emotion. When you see something like that, you’re like ‘Wow, this is refreshing.’” Over the show’s nine seasons, Bratton had a hand in some of the show’s most memorable moments. “I felt like the weird elder statesmen, and it was quite the part. I’m not that weird in real life, unfortunately for the fans,” Bratton laughs. “That's just the character. Otherwise I’d be in jail, or the character would be!” Bratton says one moment stands out in particular. “I shot a six-and-a-half-page scene with Steve Carell during season two’s Halloween episode, when his character tries to fire me and I turn it around to have someone else fired,” he remembers. “The day after it aired, I see (costars) Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski walking toward me. They gave me a big bear hug and whispered in my ear, ‘You knocked it out of the park buddy! You killed it!’ I had to walk away because I was going to start crying. It meant so much to me
because I respect these guys.” When it came to the show’s final season, Bratton notes, “There were a lot of tears and hugging. I worked on many, many shows where the people do not like each other. We genuinely like each other, we all get together. We even get together and play, we used to jam in my trailer.” Little known to fans of the show, how Bratton wound up on The Office was the result of a foray into music where he achieved success with The Grass Roots. The ’60s rockers, who topped the charts with hits ranging from “Let’s Live For Today” to “Midnight Confessions,” featured Bratton as their vocalist and guitarist. Incredibly, in despite of their immense success, members of the band were never paid for record sales thanks to a bad contract, leaving the members, including Bratton, destitute. “I’m amazed I was able to survive considering there was nothing coming in,” he notes. As a result, the ordeal led Bratton to leave music behind and pursue acting. However, Bratton isn’t bitter. “Everything happens for a reason. In The Grass Roots I had great opportunities and got some money from playing live. Most of those bands back in that time got

cheated.” Now, Bratton is combining his two loves - music and comedy into a stage show that’s headed to Solana Beach’s Belly Up on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 14. Audiences should expect music as well as Bratton’s classic wry humor. When it comes to tying together his time with both The Office and The Grass Roots, Bratton draws from both experiences. “As an actor, if I’m delivering
scripted lines to the camera I’m conveying an emotion and a reality to an audience. When I’m on stage singing lyrics, I’m doing the same thing. One’s speaking the dialogue and the other is singing the dialogue. They’re very, very similar.” Doors open for Bratton’s May 14 show at The Belly Up at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. For tickets and more information, visit www.bellyup.com.

Local dentist offers positive approach to dentistry BY STACEY PHILLIPS Dr. Weston Spencer said there is nothing more beautiful than a healthy smile. As a specialist in conservative comprehensive dentistry, Spencer said the teams at his Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla dental practices pride themselves on providing superior care for patients. “We take the time to listen carefully to each patient’s unique cosmetic goals and then devise a treatment plan personalized to his or her particular case,” said Spencer. “We work together with our patients to ensure they achieve and maintain their optimal oral health and desired cosmetic outcome.” Spencer said the restorative dentistry treatments they offer are used to repair damage to the teeth and gums, while general dentistry treatments include a patient’s regular visits, which are necessary to maintain oral health. In addition to offering these services, the dental practices also provide cosmetic dentistry. “People who come to us for cosmetic dentistry don’t always have a big problem that needs to be fixed. Often, they just want to look and feel better about their smile,” said Spencer. The dental offices focus on various treatments designed to improve the appearance of a patient’s smile, including porcelain veneers, teeth
whitening, tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, and Invisalign. “The biggest advantage to cosmetic dentistry is how you feel about yourself,” said Spencer. “Many people hesitate to ask about their options with cosmetic dentistry thinking that it might be unnecessary, but in actuality numerous studies show that our ability to smile without hesitation directly correlates to our overall confidence in social situations.” Whether someone is looking for a new job, a new relationship or making other changes in their lives, he said how someone smiles or perceives their smile, can give them the confidence to pursue their goals. “Cosmetic dentistry encompasses the physical appearance of a smile, as well as giving a patient the tools to maintain a healthy mouth,” he said. In order to offer quality cosmetic dentistry, Spencer said he makes it a priority to attend regular meetings and classes to stay-up-to-date with current training and materials. Every year, he spends hundreds of hours continuing his education in cosmetic-related training. He is a member of several organizations such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry where he said he learns from some of the best dentists in the world.
Dr. Weston Spencer “We continue to better understand what people are looking for and how they feel about their mouth and their smile,” said Spencer. After graduating from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry at the top of his class, Spencer began practicing in La Jolla with Dr. James Lovell in 2011. He opened an additional location in Rancho Santa Fe in 2016. The practice recently celebrated its one-year anniversary and is open to treat patients on Thursdays, and all weekdays for after-hours emergencies. Spencer’s goal is to add more time to his
COURTESY
Rancho Santa Fe schedule in 2017. That being said, his patients are always welcome to book an appointment in La Jolla any other day of the week. Since opening the Rancho Santa Fe location, Spencer said he and his team have been overwhelmingly grateful for the support the community has shown. In addition to sponsoring activities at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and establishing relationships with local residents and businesses, he sets aside time to educate those in the surrounding area about good
oral health, which includes talking to seniors at the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center. Due to its close proximity to R. Roger Rowe School, the dental office offers a walking service for children to come for an appointment. “We enjoy making our services available for the whole family,” said Spencer. The practices accept all PPO dental insurance plans and set a high standard for the quality and level of dentistry offered. “That allows us to be more conservative on how and when we treat patients,” said Spencer. “We don’t always have to treat everything right away if it’s not necessary.” He encourages patients to always ask questions to ensure they understand the treatment plan prescribed. “All of our treatments contribute to an aesthetically pleasing, naturally radiant smile that projects warmth, spirit, and vitality,” said Spencer. “There’s nothing more exciting than seeing a patient leave with an incredible smile.” For more information or to make an appointment, contact westonspencerdds.com, 858-215-2153.

There is much to celebrate in this, Don Diego’s 31st year. The Foundation is awarding an unprecedented $65,000 in
college scholarships to 27 outstanding students from around the county. In 2016, 12 students shared a total of $40,500 in scholarships. Chair Jon Liss states, “We particularly want to thank the Walter J. and Betty C. Zable Foundation for sponsoring the 2017 FFA Scholarships and the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation for underwriting the 2017 Exhibitor/Participant Scholarships.” He reports, “As we enter our fourth decade of building a better San Diego, one scholarship at a time, we are on the move. Thanks to donors’ generosity, in addition to our expanding college scholarship program, busloads of Plant*Grow*Eat students from low-income schools will learn about agriculture and nutrition while relishing a day at the Fair. We look forward to greeting longtime supporters and new friends at this special Gala evening under the Del Mar stars.” The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation was named for Don Diego, AKA Tom Hernandez, who served as the Fair’s welcoming goodwill ambassador from 1947-1984. To date since its inception in 1986, the Foundation has awarded approximately $797,000 in scholarships to 177 students and in agriculture education grants.

Two concerts left in La Jolla Symphony & Chorus season FROM LJS&C REPORTS In October, when La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) opened its six-concert 62nd season, Music Director Steven Schick said he built each program around music that composers wrote at the rich midpoint of their careers. “Music from the Middle of Life” offers its second-from-the-last concert of the season, May 6-7 at Mandeville Auditorium on UC San Diego campus, with guest conductor Michael Gerdes leading a perennial favorite, “Pictures at an Exhibition.” The music was composed when Modest Mussorgsky was 35, which should have been the midpoint of a great career, but, tragically, he died only seven years later. Also on the program, LJS&C 2015 Young Artists first-place winner Carlos Aguilar will play Carl Nielsen’s “Flute Concerto,” a very playful (and a very funny) piece of music, and Canadian composer Vivian Fung will offer “Biennale Snapshots,” a colorful musical response to works of public art from the 2015 Vancouver Art Biennale. During the season finale, June 10-11, LJS&C Choral Director David Chase will conclude his 43-year tenure as Choral Director with a program for orchestra and chorus inspired by love in its many faces. The audience will hear Hector Berlioz’s “Beatrice and Benedict,” a take on Shakespeare’s “Much Ado about Nothing”; Arnold Schoenberg’s macabre love-story, “Verklärte Nacht”; and Samuel Barber’s “The Lovers,” which shocked Philadelphians at its premiere in 1971.

David Chase will end his 43-year tenure as LJS&C Choral Director at the final concerts of the season, June 3-4 at Mandeville Auditorium. LJS&C was established in 1954.

Preview/commentary: Alice and Us BY DEE SILVER, M.D. On May 5, 6 and 7 performances for the musical Alice @ Wonderland will take place at the RSF Village Church under the direction of Twyla Arant and will be performed with a mixed performer age group (8 to 78). The musical is an adaption of Lewis Carroll’s (pseudonym for Charles Dogson) Alice In Wonderland. Dodgson was a teacher who took holy orders, never married, was a Deacon in the Angelical Church, a photographer of young girls, a writer, poet and mathematician who also wrote children stories. He wrote this one for Alice Liddell, who was 4 years old and daughter of the head of the Christ Church. Alice is a delightful tale. The musical has music and words you can hum and remember. It is a fun show, with colorful costumes, dancing and other choreography. Alice makes us think about not only the meaning, significance and relationship of Alice’s dreams to her, but our dreams to us. Alice is a young girl who, in her dreams, follows a white rabbit down a rabbit hole. Alice’s dream is fearful as she is unable to get past strange doors without a morphing or shrinking potion, with hallucination-like body experiences, and meets strange (physically and mentally distorted)
creatures, mad characters ( Hat, March Hare and Dormouse), and a punitive Queen. All representing in some way Carroll’s (or a young girls’) thoughts and environment in the 1850s, not unlike our dreams that reflect our human condition and experiences in our life’s daily journeys. Dream analysis has been undertaken since the ancient Greeks. We know now dreams are a combination of a sleep state using thalamocortical structures and neurotransmitter interaction. Freud, Jung and Boss all realized dreams are meaningful and increase the understanding of the human condition along with insight into our waking daily life. But no one knows what dreams are exactly, what with their vague reference and complexity, they actually mean and how they actually play a role in our lives. Freud stated that “the interpretation of dreams is the royal road to knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind” (1900). Most believe that REM (Rapid eye movements) or REM sleep is when dreams occur. Most experts believe day dreaming states are continuous with dreaming sleep states. If we think about our day dreams, (ruminations of our distractions) most of us will be aware of the topic and content connection. Day dreaming
and sleep dreams are a waking and dreaming consciousness, implying an easy transition of content and connected somewhat in time. The dreams allow us to remember experiences from our waking life but with alterations and are in some way intrapersonal communications with ourselves. Most of us do not remember dreams very long after we awake. I always tell my patients if they desire to analyze and make a better understanding of their dreams, they should have a tablet of paper and a pen and write the dream in detail, down when they awaken. It is thought that in dreams, memories are consolidated, stabilized, (data rearranged) and possibly transitioned to a long-term memory area. We know that dreams, quality of sleep, without fragmentation have a direct relationship between our quality of life and our physical and mental performance. Alice is about dreams that like our dreams, tells about our environment, its influences, our experiences, with its fears, our desires, with distortions of the inhabitation, milieu and contents. Come have fun with Alice, analyze her dreams, your own and their connection to Alice’s and our waking lives. Get tickets online at: villagechurchcommunitytheater.org

San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263
Sclerotherapy is Not Vein Stripping (Not Even Close) People have various reasons for putting off treating their varicose veins—the bulgy, purple ropes that show up under the skin. For some, they don’t think that varicose veins are a medical condition worth treating (they are). Others may not want to take the time to treat varicose veins because it could take too long (it doesn’t: in many cases, a simple office visit can take between thirty and sixty minutes). Yet many people hold off varicose vein treatment for the simple reason that they’ve grown up with stories from their mothers and grandmothers of the painful vein stripping. The simple truth is that vein stripping has become PANCHO DEWHURST GDC Construction 858.551.5222 gdcconstruction.com
a less practiced procedure, in favor of the noninvasive and nearly painless sclerotherapy. What is vein stripping and why is it so bad? For varicose veins with nonworking valves, doctors will do a scan (ultrasound or duplex scan) to uncover the source of the varicose veins and how much blood is flowing into them, which will help doctors rule out blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Also, vein stripping is performed using general anesthesia in most cases (occasionally spinal anesthesia). You won’t feel the 60 to 90 minute procedure, but you will have some recovery time coming out of anesthesia. Additional recovery can take up to two or three weeks. For the actual procedure, a surgeon makes an incision in your groin and another farther down the leg (usually in the calf or ankle), as well as small incisions near the top and bottom of the varicose vein to be “stripped.” Then, through the groin incision, the surgeon will thread a thin wire made of flexible plastic, which will be tied to the vein and then pulled out, with the vein, through the lower leg incision. Once
the procedure is completed, the incisions will be stitched, and the leg (or legs) bandaged and wrapped in compression stockings to stimulate blood flow and reduce swelling. What makes sclerotherapy different? First off, sclerotherapy has been around since the 1930s but has only recently become commonplace in treating varicose veins. A type of saline solution is injected directly into the damaged vein, which damages the interior lining of the vein and causes it to close. An early version of the process was attempted in Switzerland in the 1600s, using acid. In the 1800s, a different injectable was used, though there were significant side effects. Because of the side effects, vein stripping became the method of choice for treating varicose veins. Fortunately, doctors now use a chemical liquid called “sclerosant,” which has rare, if any, side effects. Occasionally, there may be an allergic reaction, or slight tissue necrosis if the injection is administered outside the vein, which may cause some slight skin discoloration. However, this too is rare, and now many doctors even
administer the injections using ultrasound guidance. Foam sclerosant is becoming increasingly popular for treating varicose veins, as it doesn’t dilute with the blood in the vein, improving the effectiveness and quickness of the procedure. Sclerotherapy is now considered the most effective and efficient way to treat most varicose veins, and the best part is that no incisions (or anesthesia) are required. While compression stockings are recommended for post treatment, patients receiving sclerotherapy can go about the rest of their day directly after their in-office procedure. It’s best not to put off varicose vein treatment, as the problem veins will only get worse and may lead to a more serious condition. If you have more questions about the sclerotherapy procedure or are ready to consider sclerotherapy to remove your varicose veins, visit us at www.sdveininstitute. com or contact us at 760-944-926

T
he Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society hosted guest speaker Dominic Smith, author of “The Last Painting of Sara De Vos,” at a luncheon held April 19 at The Fairmont Grand Del Mar. “The Last Painting of Sara de Vos” is a New York Times Bestseller, a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice and an Amazon Editors’ Top Pick. It tells the fictional -- and historically plausible -- story in which a painting by a woman painter of the Golden Age becomes the center of not just one drama but three dramas in three different centuries.

“
W Went to Nissan right after I had my son because we wanted a family SUV. I had checked out some other dealers before coming here. It was the best car buying experience yet. Got discounts and they helped us find the SUV that fit us. Never once were they pushy car salesmen! I always talk about my experience at this Nissan. My husband and I left happy and still are very happy today about adding a new Nissan!

Bags & Baubles

he San Diego-based Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) hosted its annual silent auction fundraising event, Bags & Baubles, April 30 at a 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.” Visiting www.face4pets.org Online: www.rsfreview.com

Water Authority’s Live WaterSmart Photo Contest celebrates Water Awareness Month With the start of Water Awareness Month recently, the San Diego County Water Authority wants to see, and share, what water means to the region’s residents – how they experience it, use it, appreciate it and know of its importance in everyday activities and their surroundings – through the monthlong Live WaterSmart photo contest. Hosted on Instagram, the contest will offer prizes for something people do every day on social media. Entering is easy – all participants have to do is submit a photo by email to the Water Authority at sdcwa@sdcwa.org that demonstrates how water is an essential part of their lives or in what they see around them. Participants are invited to use their imaginations in seeing not just scenes of water for the photos, but scenes that may include everything water affects. The Water Authority will confirm the photo submission with the photographer and post it to its Instagram account (@sdcwa) for all the Water Authority’s followers to see and vote for with Instagram “likes.” “Coming off a wet winter that broke a multi-year drought, it’s important to remember the value of water and the ways we’ve learned to become more efficient with this most precious resource,” said Mark Muir, chair of the Water Authority’s Board of Directors. “This contest give people a fun opportunity, through pictures, to share their stories of how water’s important to them and how they’ve learned to make the most of every drop.” The first 20 participants will each receive two tickets to the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. The contest will also feature two grand prizes. Submissions must include the first and last name of the photographer, the photographer’s age and full address, the date and location of the photo, and a description of how the image demonstrates water as an essential part of the photographer’s life. The description should not exceed 140 characters. Contest participants must be at least 18 years of age. For other contest rules and more information, go to sdcwa.org/live-watersmartphotocontest. Photos can be submitted up to 5 p.m. May 31. Winners will be announced the week of June 5. For more information, go to WaterSmartSD.org.

FROM GARDEN, B2 always knew what I wanted to do with my life. I was always so fortunate to know that nature would be my life’s focus. Q: Tell us about the botanic garden. A: While the actual footprint of the garden has been modified with some exchanges with neighboring property owners over the years, it was originally the home of Ruth and Charles Larabee. The county didn’t open what was first known as Quail Park until 1970. A supporting group helped found the Quail Botanical Gardens Foundation, and this group was able to convince the county to begin to operate the space as a botanical garden. The county suffered some financial difficulties in the 1980s and ’90s that led to cuts, which left the garden poorly cared for, but a couple of small bequests came to the foundation. The foundation eventually took responsibility for managing the garden in 1993. I became the first garden director in January of 1995 and it was in many ways a struggle, but there was a core group of believers and we knew that if we could stay focused on making sure people knew about the garden and enjoyed visiting it, we would be successful. Q: What do you do to “inspire people to connect with plants and nature?” A: Whether young or old, I think we all perceive the beauty in plants and all of nature. What is beautiful is different for different people, but the diversity in the plant displays is certain to have something for everyone, and everyone
finds beauty an inspiration. The world’s greatest artists have most often found the inspiration for their work in nature. Their work is some of the best proof in how we are all inspired by beauty. Q: How do you know when you’ve accomplished this? A: There is a growing body of evidence that experiences in places like our botanic garden have verifiable mental and physical health benefits. We made the garden free of admission charge after Sept. 11, knowing people would benefit from spending time here after what had happened that day. There was an observable difference visitors during that time, with more people visiting alone, and I think more people being more leisurely and looking more meditative in the garden. You can also see it in the faces of the children exploring in the garden, where seeds are being planted for how they will relate to the rest of the living world as they grow into adulthood. I like the words attributed to a Senegalese conservationist who said: We will only conserve what we love, we will only love that what we know and will only know that what we have been taught. Q: Do you have time for gardening at home? A: I am a plant-aholic. When my wife and I moved from Indianapolis, I moved over 800 plants from the personal greenhouse we had attached to our home. Almost all of those plants like San Diego much better, and I continue to acquire more plants, the point where I have no idea how many I have now. Q: What do you want people to get from their experience at the
HOME OF HOME OFTHE THEWEEK WEEK
Lake Tahoe Living
435 Fairview Blvd, Incline Village NV 89451
Botanic Gardens? A: I hope people visiting the garden either start or have a rekindled interest in the rest of the living world and how we need to become more responsible for taking care of it. Q: What’s been rewarding about this work for you? A: I really like watching children exploring in the gardens. It renews your faith in humanity to see how children are naturally attracted to other living things. Every once in a while, I will see a little boy or girl that seems just bit more focused on watching a sow bug or maybe a lizard sunning itself. I think of myself as a child and hope that young person will be encouraged to pursue a career that has them learning about the natural world and how wonderful it is, and then finding a career where they get to share that fascination and knowledge with other people. Q: What is the best advice you’ve ever received? A: Follow your passion. Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you? A: Maybe that while I work in a botanic garden, most of my free time I spend taking care of my plants. Q: Describe your ideal San Diego weekend. A: An overnight camping trip wife my wife in any of the wonderful natural environments in San Diego County — although living in the San Diego Botanic Garden makes for very desirable staycations. --Lisa Deaderick is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MAY 4, 2017 - PAGE B23
Eveline Bustillos completes Coldwell Banker University’s Smart Home Technology Education Course Eveline Bustillos, a sales associate affiliated with the Rancho Santa office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, announced her completion of the Smart Home Technology Education Course offered by Coldwell Eveline Banker University. Developed Bustillos by Coldwell Banker Real Estate, LLC and CEDIA, the global trade association for the home technology market, the course is offered exclusively to independent contractor agents affiliated with the Coldwell Banker network. The curriculum provides an extensive look into the evolution of home technology with a focus on how smart home products are changing the way we live in and interact with our homes. “Smart home technology is entering the mainstream and quickly becoming a staple in homes across the country,” said Bustillos. “The Smart Home Technology Education Course has helped me sharpen my knowledge on the smart home and the products available, which in turn will allow
me to better inform my clients when making smart home decisions.” This course equipped Bustillos with the skills needed to advise clients interested in buying and selling smart homes or installing their first smart home products. A Coldwell Banker survey of U.S. residents found that almost half (45 percent) of all those who responded to the survey either own smart home technology or plan to invest in it in 2016. Furthermore, more than half (54 percent) of homeowners surveyed would install smart home products if they were selling their home and knew that doing so would make it sell faster. In response to this, Coldwell Banker Real Estate released an official smart home definition to educate real estate professionals, home buyers and home sellers in consort with CNET, the world’s largest and most trusted online source of consumer technology news and reviews. Eveline Bustillos can be reached at 858-354-0600 or Eveline@ColdwellBanker.com. For more information on smart home news from Coldwell Banker, please visit coldwellbanker.com/smarthome.
