Rancho Santa Fe School District, teachers agree to salary hikes BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District and the RSF Faculty Association (RSFFA) have reached a tentative agreement in their contract negotiations. The school board will vote to ratify the agreement at its Thursday, June 2 board meeting. “It is great news to have that done, it was a pretty intense time for our school district,” RSF School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said at the May 20 special board meeting. At the May 18 negotiation session, the parties settled on a 4.5 percent salary increase, a $600 annual increase to the district’s employee health benefit contribution, and two personal business days for teachers each year. The days are not “no tell” days but are instead approved by the superintendent to be absent for personal business. In a letter to parents, Delaney wrote that the agreement shows that the district values its great teachers and everything that they do. “We are pleased that improvements have been made to our agreement that reflect language and salary that is more comparable to surrounding school district’s contracts,” said Amanda Valentine, president of the RSFFA. “However, the association is disappointed in the manner which the board amended Board Policy 4111. In order to resolve the issue of the policy being tied to negotiations, the board eliminated the policy, therefore, teachers’ children will no longer be allowed to enroll in the RSF School District. Those already enrolled, however, are able to return.” As the board policy is no longer part of the teachers’ working agreement, the RSFFA was not able to negotiate the terms of the amendment. “Our goal in the future is to work with a new superintendent and board to craft a mutually beneficial agreement to allow teachers’ children to attend RSF,” Valentine said.

Del Mar Fairgrounds to install fence along Via de la Valle BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to keep the property safe and secure, the Del Mar Fairgrounds is installing a fence along Via de la Valle. The Del Mar City Council approved an encroachment permit for the project on May 16. After press time on May 25, the Del Mar Design Review Board is set to review a request for a design review permit for the installation of approximately 2,580 linear feet of green vinyl-coated chain-link fencing with privacy slats, as well as native or drought-tolerant landscape screening on the south side of Via de la Valle between Jimmy Durante Boulevard and west of the Solana Beach gate. The fence is needed, according to the fairgrounds, because the city of Del Mar had to remove a dense hedge that was located within the public right-of-way at the top of a slope along the northeast portion of the fairgrounds property in SEE FENCE, A26

RSF resident Wendy Walker’s new legal drama ‘Notorious’ to air on ABC this fall Walker is the former senior executive producer of 'Larry King Live'
BY LOIS ALTER MARK “It’s the thrill of a lifetime,” says Rancho Santa Fe resident Wendy Walker about “Notorious,” the new legal drama she’s executive producing for ABC this fall. Those are big words from a woman who spent 32 years at CNN – 18 of them as the Emmy Award-winning senior executive producer of “Larry King Live” – and who has covered pretty much every major news story and A-lister of the past couple of decades. What makes this show so special to her is that it’s based on her professional relationship with famed criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos, who worked closely with her as a consultant to Larry King Live for many years. “I thought it would be interesting for viewers to go behind the scenes and see what really goes on when we’re producing a show about a high profile murder trial,” says Walker. “I’ve always wanted to get into scripted TV and, after leaving the
Bob & Kathy Angello
news business, this was the first idea I had.” Walker discussed the idea with Geragos, who loved it, and after pitching it and shooting the pilot, ABC picked it up. “As if this wasn’t exciting enough, we then learned we were being given the 9 p.m. time slot on Thursday nights, between ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘How to Get Away with Murder,’” said Walker. “I thought I was going to have a heart attack! You can’t get better than the spot where ‘Scandal’ used to be.” “Notorious” will focus on one big murder trial each season. Although the story will be fictional, Walker says that many of the details will be taken from actual events. According to Walker, “When a murder trial becomes high profile, it’s a dance between the media and the justice system – and a lot of the time, the justice system does not prevail. Really, it’s who plays the game better.”

URSULA BENSIMON
She cites the O.J. Simpson trial as a good example. “The guy killed his wife and got off,” Walker said. “His team did a better job than the prosecution.” Walker claims that the interplay between criminal law and the media is a key element of a high profile case, and she looks forward to exploring the issue in depth in “Notorious.” “Just look at the movie, ‘Gone Girl,’ and how Tyler Perry’s SEE WALKER, A26

Speaker touts lifestyle changes for better health BY ASHLEY MACKIN cience says diet and exercise are keys to a healthy life. But Dr. Dorothy Sears, as a guest of the Howell Foundation, offered two ways to adjust diet and exercise habits for long-lasting improvements to well-being. At a luncheon lecture May 20 at La Jolla Country Club, the Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at UC San Diego, shared her research, the data it yielded, and her “lifestyle interventions.” The take-aways: it’s not what you eat, but when you eat it; and sit less. An advocate for lifestyle changes to supplement (or in some cases to replace) traditional medications, Sears explained that in a study of those with “pre-diabetes” (starting to experience metabolic problems or with diabetes in their family), researchers looked at the effectiveness of a drug intervention compared to lifestyle changes. The data suggested that a moderate diet modification — such as eating more fruits and vegetables, walking more, etc. — was associated with a 58 percent reduction in incidences of Type II Diabetes. Those who used medication saw a reduced risk of 38 percent. “So in this battle, lifestyle modification won,” she said.

A ‘fast’ way to health
Sears is studying the effectiveness of intermittent fasting, particularly for long
ASHLEY MACKIN
Dr. Dorothy Sears, Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at UCSD, shares her ‘lifestyle interventions,’ with guests at the Howell Foundation Luncheon. periods at night, using biological markers for certain cancers, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. “We studied large populations and found that those who eat during the night have increased risk of chronic disease,” she said. “We hear a lot about what’s healthy to eat — eat this, don’t eat that, count calories, look at nutrition labels — but what if you could eat whatever you wanted, just so long as it was at a certain time that you ate it?” Intermittent fasting, she explained, can mean fasting for one whole day per week; increasing the hours of not eating between
dinner at night and breakfast the next morning; or engaging in a fast called the 5-2, where participants eat whatever you want for five days and then for two non-consecutive days participants only eat 500 calories. Focusing on “time-restricted” eating (only eating for certain hours during the day) Sears studied how the practice affected both mice and women. “In mice, we found the length of that nightly fasting period impacts health and is associated with better glucose control and decreased inflammation,” she said. In humans, “We looked at more than 2,500 women and we found that every three-hour increase in this fasting period of time during the night, yielded a reduced risk of having an elevated hemoglobin A1C (a marker of high glucose in the blood). So the longer the nighttime fasting, the lower the A1C.” In a similar study of breast cancer survivors, which Sears said was “the first time a human study has been able to demonstrate clinical outcome of cancer recurrence,” researchers looked at 2,300 women over seven years. “We know who got breast cancer after the start of the study and we know what they ate and when they ate it. We were able to ask about whether intermittent fasting affects breast cancer recurrence. We found that when women fasted for 13 hours during the night (for example, eating dinner at 7 and breakfast at 8) they had significantly reduced cancer recurrence,” she said. “So we’re excited about that.”
Sit on it … or better yet, don’t
Although little quantifiable data is available on the harmful effects of sitting for extended periods of time, Sears said she wants to be the one to find it. “It’s true, across all ages, sitting too much is bad,” she said. “But the effects of sitting are under-studied. We do know that the length of uninterrupted sitting time is important and we need to find practical ways to break that up. But we don’t know how much (sitting) is too much, we don’t know what we should be doing when we’re not sitting, and we don’t know how to realistically change our behaviors.” To quote the American Medical Association, she said the final word is: “sit less.” In a pilot study to gather empirical data, Sears said her team is looking at using a new device, taped to the thigh, that can read if you are sitting (it registers as horizontal) or standing (it registers as vertical), which they can look at throughout the day. “We found that every 10 additional sit-to-stands, going from a sitting posture to a standing posture and back down, the women had decreased inflammation and decreased insulin,” she said of the early results. “There’s a lot that we don’t know, but we’re committed to finding more information about that, and findings for real-world practical ways to interrupt sitting.” Because sitting involves a “folded position,” the torso being vertical and the thighs being SEE HEALTHY, A25

Use your brain: Healthy Living Week brings experts to TPHS Torrey Pines High School recently held Healthy Living Week, focusing this year on brain health. "I hope this week helped the whole campus think about how they are living and what kinds of habits they are establishing for themselves in all the areas of their lives, but especially with their brains as it relates to protection, nutrition, rest and technology,” said Don Collins, the Torrey Pines PALS advisor who planned the week. “Students make decisions every day that affect the rest of their lives, and my hope with all of the various activities and information is to help support them in establishing healthy habits." At a May 24 assembly, X Games skateboarder Andy Macdonald helped launch the My Grey Matterz Head Protection Program, stressing the importance of helmet safety with TPHS student Alex Hargis, who in 2013 suffered a serious traumatic brain injury in a skateboarding accident in Carmel Valley when he was not wearing his helmet. Collins said he was grateful that Alex’s mom, Paige Hargis, came to him earlier in the year with the idea of raising awareness about head protection. “We have a lot of athletes and kids who skate and snowboard and they need to get the message to wear their helmets and to take care of their brains,” Collins said. Hargis arranged not only for the medical director of neurotrauma from Scripps La Jolla, Frank Coufal, and an X Games vert skateboarding legend to come to the school, but she also brought members of UC San Diego’s Trauma Research and Education Foundation

He said Alex was really brave in sharing the story of his accident and recovery with the students and really made an impact. Collins said while he might take a little heat for allowing Andy Mac to perform a skateboard trick on the gym floor, the message he gave the students was powerful. "I am not here to preach to you because you are young adults and you are all going to make your own choices, but I will let you know my choice has been clear for me since I started skating 30 years ago. The back of your dome we call the 'knock out button' because if you fall back it'll knock you out. I've been knocked out even wearing my helmet. I've actually cracked a helmet clear in two pieces,” said Macdonald. “And I know the damage that repeated head
injuries can have on someone in an extreme sport.” As Collins noted, just last week it was revealed that former NFL player and actor Bubba Smith had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the degenerative brain disease linked to head trauma. Students also know about the 2012 suicide of San Diego Charger Junior Seau, who also suffered from CTE. “It’s not just football,” Macdonald said, referencing the loss of his good friend BMX rider Dave Mirra. Mirra committed suicide in February and he was revealed to suffer from CTE last week. “I am telling you, it's tragic. Forty-one years old and an amazing talent. We need to protect ourselves and use a dome piece." At another assembly about making healthy
choices, students heard about the developmental effects and dangers of marijuana for teenagers from Torrey Pines parent Dr. Rosalie Liccardo Pacula, Ph.D. Pacula is the co-director of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center, an organization that provides non-partisan, data-driven information to policy makers when they are making decisions on issues such as legalizing marijuana in New Jersey, California and Canada. “No jurisdiction is considering legalization for everyone. Why? Marijuana is harmless isn’t it?” Pacula said. “It’s not harmless for kids. There is good evidence that marijuana can cause permanent damage to people under the age of 21.” Pacula said teenage marijuana use can impair brain development and early and persistent cannibus users show a decline in IQ as much as eight points. Taylor Garrot, deputy city attorney, presented on the dangers of drug DUIs and Clint Pearman, a provisional certified brain injury specialist at Camp Pendleton, talked about teen brain development and the importance of brain care and protection. The student PALS sponsored the week and helped organize events. In addition to the informative assemblies, there were stress-reduction activities throughout the week, a coloring banner and Flower Grams to share positive notes and tissue paper flowers with friends. The message the PALs sent out was that Healthy Living is POWERFUL: Protection Optimism Wellness Exercise Rest Food Unplug Love.

Torrey Pines grad excelling in acting around the world BY ROB LEDONNE t was only six years ago when Michael Dashefsky, a member of Torrey Pines High School’s Class of 2010, was walking down the aisle during his graduation. However, a lot has changed in those six years as Dashefsky has gone from a student of the acting craft, to a working professional who has traveled the world, adding an upcoming six-month stint to act at Universal Studios in Singapore to his already bursting passport. “At Torrey Pines, my senior year was crazy,” said Dashefsky, while driving from an audition in Los Angeles to his home in Del Mar. “I was Senior Class President, President of the National Honor Society, and Varsity Swim Team Captain.” It was at Torrey Pines where Dashefsky’s interest in acting was piqued and honed, becoming experiences that planted the seeds of his later success. “I think Torrey Pines prepared me well,” he said, noting he had many mentors at the school who guided him in his numerous diverse interests. After graduation, Dashefsky headed to California State University, Fullerton, an entirely different experience. “The most difficult thing I was able to do was not practice anything else besides theater,” Dashefsky, then an acting major, noted. “The positive thing about theater is that there’s a lot of variety in it, despite only focusing on one subject.” Dashefsky made it to the end of Fullerton’s acting program, a coup in itself considering that out of 100 students who start out, each successive year brings cuts, whittling the class size down to a mere 12 by senior year. “It’s a

pretty competitive school,” he notes of the unique program. “I really focused on my training there. I didn’t even start auditioning for projects until my senior year.” By the time Dashefsky was a senior, he had signed with a commercial agent and manager. After a relatively short period of auditions, he landed his first job immediately out of college as a vocalist for the Princess Cruise line, which he landed after submitting a video reel. Dashefsky continued to get cast in various projects, including a plum gig acting at Tokyo

Disney. “There are so many different factors that come into landing auditions,” he says of what is a grueling process. “Look, talent, work ethic, and being in the right place at the right time.” Now, with Dashefsky landing his third long-term acting job that is based either overseas or on a cruise ship, he’s become accustomed to a life on the road. “I love working with different companies and not getting settled with any one situation,” he said. “It’s very easy for people to stay stagnate in that

sense. I’m lucky I get to expand my resume and work in all these places. I may settle down in New York or LA in the future, but for now I’m enjoying traveling and getting to know different cultures.” Throughout it all, Dashefsky notes that he’s grateful for every opportunity. “I thank my parents and my mentors who have helped me every day. They’ve given me the tools and it’s up to me to use them. I’ve had drive since I was little because my parents instilled a sense of dedication in me.”

The Patriots Connection has awarded 135 grants totaling more than $1.2 million since 2009 to nonprofits serving the local military community.
RSF Foundation grants $100,200 to San Diego nonprofits serving the military The Patriots Connection, a program of Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, awarded grants totaling $100,200 to nine nonprofit military programs in San Diego County in May 2016.

No Freedom of Speech at the RSF Post Office? by Terry Peay, Candidate for RSFA Board On Friday, my fellow candidate Rachel Laffer, her 7-year-old daughter, and I headed to the Federal Post Office to talk to the community about our campaign. The opposition candidates were already there with a table, chairs, cake, and posters outside the federal building. But the owner of the building, Susan Woolley, said we could not campaign in front of the Post Office, her sidewalk, or the parking lot. This is the same thing she did to Ann and Kim in 2014, because of her support for the other PIC-endorsed candidates. Mrs. Woolley is also the landlord of the former Village Market building where you can find her candidates’ posters in the vacant windows. Food for thought -- she is a client of our RSFA ex-manager Pete Smith, who repaved her post office parking lot on the Association’s dime several years ago. One of our supporters overheard Mrs. Woolley threatening to call the RSF Patrol because Rachel’s daughter was sitting on the curb next to her planter box on the street. Threatening to call the patrol on a 7-year-old and banning free speech at a public post office. Really? A very sad day in RSFA politics! Terry Peay

Fiber Feasibility Update
from Fred Luddy, Eoin O’Shea, John Moores and Todd Mikles
Some of you may know that in late 2014 we privately funded a feasibility study to improve the woeful Internet service in Rancho Santa Fe. We want to share with you our gratitude to the RSF Association Board which has taken strong first steps in deploying ultra high-speed Internet inside the Covenant. After the study was presented to the Board, the hard work began. In less than a year and a half, the Board has executed a comprehensive Letter of Intent with Hotwire Communications to bring the fastest Internet technology in the world to Rancho Santa Fe. Of course, this is as gratifying to us as it is to you because we all live in the Covenant. What is most impressive about this particular deal is that it involved more than merely understanding technology. Rather, it required tenacity to find the right partner and to execute a great deal - both for the Covenant and for subscribers. We encourage you to visit rsfcommunications.com to find out why we are so impressed by this Board’s perseverance.
We also want to provide our unequivocal assurance that none of us have any financial interest whatsoever in Hotwire Communications. Our financial interests are the same as yours: our homes. As Jason Barry, of Barry Estates, said, “It wouldn’t surprise me if home prices lift substantially - perhaps 5 or 10% as the Ranch becomes tech-friendly. This is great news for our community.” This is an exciting time for Rancho Santa Fe. Please join us in supporting our outstanding Rancho Santa Fe Association Board as it seeks to protect our personal investments in our residences and dramatically improve the level of service for the Internet. Best regards. /s/ Todd Mikles

$2.4 Million Current avg. home price in the Covenant
$2.6 Million Projected avg. price increase of $200k per home with fiber network
Online applications for business, health, education, security and entertainment have all become integrated into our daily lives. If the community’s infrastructure does not keep pace with these changes then it will have negative impacts not only on our quality of life, but on home values as well. In addition to increasing home values, this broadband infrastructure will widen the net of interested buyers. Today, high-speed Internet service is viewed more as a necessity than a luxury. Broadband Internet services are increasingly considered a utility much like gas, water and power.
Not long ago, we didn’t think bringing Internet to the Ranch was feasible. Major providers wanted our community to give them millions to build“their”network.

OPINION
Let’s Focus on Building Community, Not Dividing It Mr. Burgess, I wish you would have contacted me before submitting serious misinformation in our community paper. I own the RSFAssociation.com domain name and used it publicly when I first started my open forum news website as “RSF Association News” in 2014. I actually offered the domain to the Association as a gift in 2014 when I renamed the site “RSF Post.” I imagine the offer was simply forgotten, and I will be happy to renew it. The RSF Post was established to provide an open forum for residents and to combat misinformation. I will continue to operate it because of an overwhelmingly positive response from the community. Over 5,000 visits in the last two months alone. And the registration to vote form has been downloaded over 500 times from my other site, RSF Register. You are welcome to submit articles on RSF Post, like everyone else, subject to a very simple and civil etiquette. Just as I often promote voter registration, I currently have an ad that links visitors to the RSF Communications fiber Internet website. I do this for free because I want the project to be successful. No secrets Mr. Burgess...I have been very clear in my newsletters, Review ads, and on RSF Post that I am a big fan of Ann, Kim and this current board. Their accomplishments have been well documented. I have dedicated significant resources to combat the lack of transparency and misinformation that plagued the community for years. I ask you to join me on the high road and put a stop to this conspiracy nonsense. Nick Krnich
Happenings in RSF Our local papers have been full of letters about all kinds of things and in a few weeks all of these local issues will be over; however, I would like to remind everyone that our current board in RSF has dealt with a lot of issues the last few years, some very important issues. First off, we now have a very professional staff running the business of the Association. I mention this because now we have a very qualified CPA in charge of our finances and a very knowledgeable attorney who specializes in HOA (homeowner association) law on board plus other new staff members and what a difference they make. Next, our board has really been dedicated to finding solutions to: 1) better internet access through fiber optics like no other community anywhere else has, 2) letting the community decide on matters like traffic signals or roundabouts, future
Covenant issues, etc., 3) actively looking for solutions to parking issues in the Village that been ignored for years, 4) making sure our bylaws are up to date with what our community wants and finally, 5) choosing the best staff to keep our community safe and secure, well informed and on budget. While some like to complain about what’s wrong, let’s give credit to what is right in our community. Rancho Santa Fe is a very special place and we want to keep it that way with good governance. We elect our leaders to inform us on issues, listen to us and then do what is in the best interest of the community. That’s what leadership is in my book. Marion Dodson, Rancho Santa Fe
Take the Time to Get Informed, Vote It’s time to vote again in Rancho Santa Fe. Regardless of your position on various issues, the most important thing is to take the time to get informed about the two groups of candidates and then vote, and get your ballot in by June 13. For the first seven years I lived here, I didn’t give local politics much thought. Now I pay closer attention and am delighted that many residents are getting more involved in shaping the direction that this community moves. Back in 2013, only 32 percent of us voted. That number jumped to 75 percent in 2014. Let’s continue to support the progress that has been made, so we all can enjoy the benefits of living here. I’m hoping for upwards of 90 percent voter turnout this year. Think about what’s important to you, ask questions of the candidates and your neighbors, and, most importantly, participate. We live in a relatively small community where all of our votes really do matter. John Rikkers, Rancho Santa Fe
No Free Offer As a member of the technology committee, I can assure you nobody submitted an offer to build our fiber optic network for free. If this was true, I would have asked them to throw in a free cell phone network too. Mike Licosati
Who’s Being Divisive? Last week, we questioned the relationship between the RSF Association board and Nick Krnich. This question was based solely on the fact that the board newsletter contained a link to Mr. Krnich’s website which in turn is promoting the board and three candidates. Mr. Krnich “responded” through his
website with a condescending “OpEd” titled, “We need to focus on building community, not dividing it,” falsely asserting that my letter contained “serious misinformation,” not answering the question, admitting that he is a board mouthpiece, and lecturing me to take the “high road.” Read on and you decide who is creating the divisiveness in this community. First, my letter contained no inaccuracies; it raised a question -- Why is the board newsletter linking to Krnich’s website? What difference does it make that Krnich previously offered that website address to the board? And why did Krnich title his purported “answer” that way? Second, his newsletter contains more self-promotion from the board camp. How they are the really “independent” candidates. Seems they agree the board needs independence, doesn’t it? We don’t need people like a current board member showing up at the post office to videotape and harass their opponent’s supporters. (Yes, it happened.) Third, his newsletter contains an “OpEd” from Gerald Parsky loaded with gross exaggerations and mischaracterizations (who really wrote it?). Come on, the Osuna purchase is old news and the Finance Committee was involved. I did not favor that purchase, but it was not done in secrecy and, while not put to a vote, the board acted within its power and residents had the ability to object. Parsky’s allegations of a “secret society,” poor accounting practices or people wanting “to go back to the days where decisions could be made by the Board without financial accountability” are truly offensive. Frankly, nothing said by Parsky differentiates the six candidates. He does not attack candidates; he attacks their supporters. For how many years will good people who run against Boon and her sycophants be tarred with all this drivel? Yes, good governance means transparency and accountability. But it doesn’t require members to vote on every issue and it isn’t well-served by D.C.-style advocacy. Or board-packing. I applaud increased voter registration, but let’s be clear: when I moved here, I went to the Association and registered, as did many others. A simple, unobstructed process. Our mailboxes have been filled with material that seeks to create a divide between residents: older vs. younger, long-time vs. newer, golf club members vs. non-members. People have falsely alleged

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) that the golf club was promoting the swimming pool or that it “signed off” on the location. Our board president’s husband writes a vitriolic ad alleging that golf club members call non-members “freeloaders.” In my 12 years here I’ve never heard any member express that or any similar disparaging sentiment. Why no “high road” lecture then, Mr. Krnich? Bob Burgess
I Will Tell You Who Nick Krnich is, Bob! Nick Krnich is a selfless good neighbor spending time and money to help our community! Thanks to his efforts we have more voters registered then ever in the history of the Covenant! And a site we can rely on that is fair and balanced providing an unedited forum for sharing of opinions on issues important to all of us. RSP Post and the Review are the only open forums sites in our community. The other community website, RSF Homeowners Group, will not allow dissenting opinions to be posted on their site. Thank goodness for Nick Krnich, the RSFPost and Review! Natalie Moores, resident for 13 years
Fiber — It’s Not Just for Breakfast Anymore As a longtime RSF Association resident and former board member, I am thrilled with the progress the board has made in the last two years. I look forward to more progress if we are able to elect new board members who are positive and collaborative. After decades of neglect by directors chosen by PIC and our ex-manager (who participated in the Nominating Committee), members finally elected independent directors, who make up our current board. Among other accomplishments, they have: •Instituted full accrual accounting practices •Hired CPA’s in house to insure financial accountability •Increased voter registration by nearly 90 percent •Opened all CDRC meetings to all RSFA members •Created an official RSFA website and •Initiated internet infrastructure improvements. These are wonderful achievements, and I want to thank these volunteer directors for all their hard work to make them possible. I want to see our new board continue these responsible practices plus: •Put reasonable spending limits on board actions and most importantly, •Give members the right to vote on all major Homeowner Association decisions. I hope others support the honest efforts of our volunteer board and want these additional financial oversights. At the Annual Meeting, a few members attacked the board’s performance. Until recently, these people thought fiber was something to look for in a breakfast cereal. How could they attack the performance of a board that in its brief period of existence has so
dramatically improved our financial systems and initiated internet improvements? Also troubling are recent actions of the boards of our Golf and Tennis Club to make their clubs political organizations dedicated to their special interests and stopping particular projects. Our Golf Club is an important asset, but golfers are only about a quarter of our members. Our RSFA board has to represent all members. Members can look at articles in the Review and the rsfpost.com to learn more about the issues facing our community and the need to establish a solid team, independent of special interests to address them. Creating controversy is not productive. We need a new board that supports the achievements of the existing board, builds upon this foundation, and works together on projects for the benefit of all. Jane van Praag
The Misinformation Needs to Stop I just wanted to inform the community that I contacted the managers of the Golf Club, Tennis Club, and Homeowners Group on behalf of myself and other members asking them how their organizations issued endorsements without input from the members. The Golf Club manager said the Golf Club and the Board of Governors have never issued an endorsement. A Tennis Club representative said that, “[a]s you know, unions and many other types of organizations endorse candidates whom a minority of their members oppose — and they do it without a formal policy and often without even a survey.” The Homeowners’ Group has yet to respond. A copy of the actual communications, including the endorsement letter from the Golf Club Board of Governors, are available online in my op-ed on the RSFPost.com. Sam Ursini
Hostile Takeovers and Shark Repellents Is Rancho Santa Fe undergoing a hostile takeover? You decide. A hostile takeover is an acquisition in which the company being acquired doesn’t want to be acquired or doesn’t want to be acquired by a particular party. In publicly traded companies, hostile takeovers are often accomplished through aggressive advertising to convince shareholders in the target company to give up their shares. It seems that may be exactly what is happening in Rancho Santa Fe. Rancho Santa Fe may not be a publicly traded company, but it seems as if we may be a takeover target just the same. Two years ago, Ann Boon hired IVC Media, run by Chad Peace, to create an advertising campaign to influence voters (community shareholders in this case) to vote for Ann Boon and Kim Eggleston. Unprecedented sums were spent on advertising, websites and FedEx deliveries – and it worked. The same expensive marketing tactics are being
used again this year to influence voters to elect Ann’s hand-picked candidates: expensive mailers, plenty of road signs, and multiple full page ads in the Review each week. Now Association records show that Chad Peace’s law firm is being paid $20K a month to provide legal advice to the Association regarding development of a fiber optic broadband network for the community. Coincidence? The owners of the Inn who support Ann Boon and her candidates were reported to get fast-track approvals for their Orchard Project. Coincidence? The question continues to be, who benefits most from the support for this takeover? There is much at stake and someone knows it. With no word for four months on the whereabouts of our manager, who exactly is in charge of our community? With no manger to run our Association, a monolithic board that votes unanimously on most decisions, and deep-pocketed supporters to help influence our elections, there is major cause for concern. Shouldn’t we have more balance? Pay attention RSF! In business, the most effective methods to defend against takeovers are built-in measures referred to as “shark repellents” Here in Rancho Santa Fe, our shark repellent is the ballot box. Use your shark repellent and vote! Helen DiZio
orders?) any endorsement had taken place, and wrote: “the GC or its Board of Governors have not endorsed any of the six candidates.” Such a conclusion is laughable. The reality is the endorsement letter was signed “Sincerely, RSF Golf Club Board of Governors,” and each of the seven signatures had their official club title such as President, VP, Treasurer, etc. printed below. It looks and is official, and no amount of Implausible Denial can alter that. Truth suffers in the Twilight Zone. Conclusion: This election is probably the most confusing in memory, with tickets, counter-charges, shifting positions by one side that superficially eliminated differences. The Implausible Denial used by some special interest groups is ridiculous. A four-way alliance is new and its dominance in this election by clubs and special interests is negative. Candidates can and should raise issues. But issues should be discussed and resolved during the whole year by the responsible groups, instead of being held and raised as election issues. Most of the issues voiced in the past month by the GC as a reason to vote for their candidates should have been discussed calmly in the past year. The Golf Club should not become a political organization. There already is one too many political organizations here in the election Twilight Zone. Bill Strong
Implausible Denial in Election Twilight Zone
This isn’t an advertisement for a drug or supplement, so you don’t need to reach for your credit card. The secret to a good night’s sleep is this: follow your conscience in all that you do in life. It’s really that simple. Many of us believe in a higher power that gives us a code of values and conduct to guide us throughout life. If we are lucky, a parent figure encourages us early in life to turn Right at each fork in the road that we encounter. But during the first 20 years of life, when peer pressure is strong and hormones are raging, making these right choices is not easy. And, we soon realize that consequences for our actions, reaping what we sow, and “karma” are real. But once we get a taste of how great we feel standing tall for what’s right, perhaps away from the crowd, life then becomes easier and far less confusing because our choices are clearer. From business deals to choosing friends, social groups, charities, schools, and political candidates to represent our town and country; when we measure all these by our standards, we make decisions with confidence. When we fly our flag for what’s right, the right people come to us and we to them. And when we are living right, we don’t wonder if we should condone wrongdoing or even if we must choose the lesser of two evils, which reduces us to “their” level. Instead, we look for better options and believe that in the end “good” wins and we will be at that celebration party. On June 7, we can vote only for good people who share our values. Then we will sleep like a baby and wake the next morning, eager for the chance to do what’s right again. Katharine (Taffy) Lewis, Rancho Santa Fe
RSF elections can be strange. Some elections are quiet and uncontested, while others just the opposite. In April I wondered if this election would be fact-based or agenda-based. We know now it is the latter. What is so important this year? Control and Board Blockers. Sometimes we enter a twilight zone of quiet, this year we are in a twilight zone of Implausible Denial. Is there a four-way alliance involving the TC, GC, HOG, and PIC? Nothing says otherwise, but all four organizations deny it. PIC held a private candidate event in April, then clearly recommended three candidates in at least two emails, and continually since. One was from an influential GC and PIC member, the other from the PIC President himself. Both emails made it clear who was publicly approved, chosen, endorsed, supported, backed, suggested, recommended, advocated, etc. Pick whatever word you want. The intent was clear. But one candidate and others deny it was an endorsement, pointing to technicalities. It is easy for a closed group with closed meetings and secret emails to try Implausible Denial, but the intent is obvious. Elsewhere in our election twilight zone, Golf Club members received a letter making it clear the same three candidates were to receive votes. Some GC events became one-sided campaign events. (See “Golf Club Endorsement Reveals Old Style Governance” Review OpEd May 26). Last week the GC Manager denied (under

Enough is enough. Now fellow Covenant members are being attacked for hiring a young and talented team that does work for a number of us. They are a very young nonpartisan digital media company that is involved on a national level in helping disenfranchised voters exercise their right to vote. They also spearheaded the privately-funded fiber feasibility study and built the RSFCommunications.com website at zero cost to the Association. Ironically, the opposition to Rachel, Terry and Rachel has hired a big time partisan political operative who has coached them on how to divide the community on almost every important issue. They do this, in part, by misinforming our neighbors with unsigned conspiratorial nonsense distributed throughout our Community. I started the RSFPost.com (formerly, RSF Association News) to combat this kind of misinformation and make no apologies for hiring a firm that has the talent to help me do it. We stood up as a community against these same tactics during the Ann and Kim election. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do it again! -Nick Krnich

GUEST COMMENTARY
Water Rates Tied to Cost of Service BY MICHAEL HOGAN, SFID PRESIDENT he Santa Fe Irrigation District recently approved an increase in water rates and charges after a lengthy process. The District has not increased rates for three years as a result of the Board of Directors working closely with staff to control internal costs, reassess capital project implementation schedules, and utilize reserves. This was accomplished successfully and resulted in one of the lowest rates of the 24 water agencies in San Diego County, while maintaining a AAA financial credit rating. Additionally, during this period the District has had to manage the impacts of the drought and the Governor’s Emergency Declaration requiring the District to reduce water demand by 36 percent (later lowered to 28 percent). The public’s response was phenomenal with an overall reduction in usage of 31 percent since June 2015. The Board of Directors realized that in order to maintain fiscal sustainability that rates and charges needed to be increased. Eighteen months ago the Board of Directors began the process to review and discuss new rate structure options that were fair and equitable and met the District’s legal requirements. Working with staff and a consultant specializing in the development of rates, the Board of Directors held five workshops and five board meetings resulting in the recommended rate structure. When developing rates, it is incumbent that the foundation for setting those rates be based on a variety of factors, including the costs of purchasing water supplies, the peak demands on the water system infrastructure that are caused by the volume of customer usage, and fixed costs associated with providing customer services. Following a lengthy process, the majority of the Board of Directors agreed with the rate consultants’ recommendations and legal

counsel’s review that they met the standard required under Proposition 218, which requires that rates be linked to the actual cost of providing services. Board members were all working to achieve the same goal, but at the end of the process two directors did not agree with the outcome and questioned the methodology used by the consultant which in their opinion placed an unfair burden on the higher users. The District received over 1,000 protests over the proposed rates, but after deliberation a majority of the board members agreed with the consultant’s findings and approved the proposed rate increase. The District has been transparent in developing the new rate structure. All workshops and board meetings where rates were discussed were publicly posted. The District also developed and mailed an unprecedented eight-page notice explaining the basis of the proposed rates to all customers and posted it on the District’s webpage. Additionally, the District conducted three public forums to explain the proposed rates and answer questions. Presentations were also given to the Solana Beach City Council and numerous homeowners associations. The approved rates are comparable to those of other county water agencies and remain among the lowest in the region. The District has developed several core planning documents to guide its decision-making process, including financial, asset management, water resources, and business plans. Utilizing an adaptive management approach, any decision regarding future rate increases or rate structure will be reassessed based on current conditions to assure ratepayers that their water system is being managed, operated and maintained in the most efficient and cost effective manner possible. Hogan is the board president of the Santa Fe Irrigation District break it up and evidence-based support of recommendations because the current recommendations of standing once an hour or every 90 minutes are not backed by science yet,” she said.

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON
Bernie’s youth battalion
W
hat is it about a 74-year-old balding politician that has young voters so excited? A New York Times Iowa poll of Democratic voters entering the caucuses throughout the state showed that a staggering 84 percent of those 17 to 29 years old supported Senator Bernie Sanders, while Secretary Hillary Clinton garnered just 14 percent. In the age 30-to-44 category, Sanders also beat her, winning 58 percent to Clinton’s 37 percent. The tide turns with the 45-to-64-year-old crowd, who supported Clinton 58 percent to Sanders’ 35 percent. And those over 65 went for Clinton 69 percent, with only 26 percent for Sanders. These numbers are consistent with later polls. The enthusiasm young people have for Sanders was in abundance at a Sanders rally at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista May 22, where young people, some not old enough to vote, were ecstatic to see the senator from Vermont. The beaming faces of the 40 or so RBV marching band members when Sanders stepped over to thank them after his speech, said it all. So did their fervent cheering from the sidelines throughout the rally. The high school, with 3,300 students in grades 9-12, was well represented at the rally. At the conclusion of the nearly hour-long speech, one young man standing at the fence began squealing, “Here he comes! Here he comes!” as the candidate turned toward the fence to greet adoring fans. I thought my eardrums would burst when
FROM FENCE, A1 order to install a sidewalk along the south side of Via de la Valle. The new sidewalk was part of the city’s sewer, water and arterial paving capital project. In doing so, the city removed about 800 feet “mature landscape material” across from The Fish Market restaurant, Gary Reist, deputy general manager for the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Racetrack, explained during the May 24 board meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association. The 22nd DAA runs the state-owned fairgrounds. Along with an old chain-link fence topped with barbed wire at the base of the slope, the hedge provided an additional security measure for the horse stable area. “It literally exposed our backside,” Reist said. “We got a few cards, letters and phone calls. So in trying to keep and maintain our property safe, secure and beautiful, we embarked on a fence project and landscape project.” The fairgrounds originally proposed to install an 8-foot tall fence that would extend 2,030
Sanders reached in to shake his hand. “Oh my God, oh my God!!” he screamed in all directions. “I shook Bernie Sanders’ hand!!” What is going on here? Democratic socialist Some speculate that young voters have a more favorable view of socialism than older voters who remember the Cold War and have negative associations with socialist movements. The students I spoke with at the Sanders rally didn’t mention that specifically, but their concerns mirror the democratic socialist’s primary points: that the traditional two-party system has become corrupt, that government and politicians are controlled by wealthy contributors and lobbyists, and – perhaps as they see future prospects for successful careers and well-paying jobs dimming – that income inequality is growing to intolerable levels. What’s more interesting is that these young people aren’t terribly concerned that Sanders’ chance of getting the nomination is slim. “His goal is to create a whole new generation of voters with different priorities,” one young man told me, insisting that the Sanders movement is about more than just Bernie. Sanders himself said as much in his speech, when he said his campaign “is about transforming a nation.” Those of us old enough to remember Eugene McCarthy in 1968, and to a lesser extent John Anderson in 1980 and Ross Perot in 1992, lived through what seemed to portend revolutionary upheavals in the democratic process. And yet, here we are today, many of us having replaced youthful idealism with complacency
linear feet west from Jimmy Durante Boulevard to the Solana Beach gate, with a 6-foot tall fence extending an additional 550 linear feet west of the gate. The fencing material would utilize dark green vinyl-coated chain-link with dark green privacy slats to provide a 95 percent privacy screen, according to the staff report. The proposed fencing would be topped with vertical barb arms and three strands of black vinyl-coated barbed wire. The council approved the request but required that it not exceed 6 feet in height above sidewalk elevation, not utilize any barbed wire in its design and be continuously screened by native or drought-tolerant vegetation. “We’ve created a new condition by putting a sidewalk on the south side of Via de la Valle, and so there is a public safety concern as well as the protection of the view of the horses, the property and the backside of the barns,” said Councilman Don Mosier at the May 16 council meeting. “It’s not the most beautiful fence, but I understand that it’s necessary to screen that property, and it does have a pubic safety benefit.”
and cynicism. Can the Sanders movement survive past the 2016 election? When the loudest cheers at the Sanders high school rally came when he spoke about legalizing marijuana and guaranteeing free college, those who base their support for Sanders primarily on his stance on income inequality and corruption in politics worry. Certainly decriminalizing marijuana and relief from burdensome college debt are galvanizing issues for young people. But it’s questionable if that can sustain a revolution for the longer term. RBV students in the press bleachers who were credentialed as members of the school’s yearbook, journalism and photography clubs, provided enlightening insight. They were all excited to be there, naturally, agreeing with one another that Sanders represents a movement that’s not going away and saying there’s a lot of support for Sanders at their high school. But what specifically appealed to them about Sanders? “He wants to legalize marijuana,” said one girl not yet old enough to vote. And certainly the notion of free college tuition was attractive. But digging deeper, I asked Skylar, an RBV 11th-grader, what was it about Sanders more generally that made her a supporter. “He’s not like every other candidate,” she said, in a subtle criticism of establishment politics. “Hillary has a record of being a liar, and Trump is a racist and misogynist.” But a 74-year-old man? “Despite his age, he still has goals and ambitions,” she said thoughtfully, putting the kibosh on the notion that kids are shallow and only interested in pot and free college. “He is showing that anyone can do anything despite their age.” Eerily, Sanders, as if hearing her words, told the crowd an hour later, “Establishment always tells people their dreams and aspirations are impossible.” Not enough credit There was genuine fervor and zeal from the young crowd at the prospect of a candidate who they believe is honest, speaks for them and has
FROM WALKER, A3 character manipulated the press to get what he wanted,” she points out. Walker says a lot of that was based on the “Larry King Live” coverage of the Scott Peterson case – a San Diego story that gained international attention. “Mark went on air and said, ‘This kid is in trouble and his attorneys are going to have a hard time,’” remembers Walker. “Well, Scott’s parents called Mark and said, ‘You don’t know our son. He’s innocent. What you say is really important and sways a lot of opinions.’ They ended up hiring Mark as his attorney. The man plays the press like a violin.” The show explores just how calculating live TV can be, and it’s an especially timely subject right now. “Don’t get me started about the election,” warned Walker. In “Notorious,” Wendy and Mark become Julia George and Jake Gregorian, and are played by Piper Perabo (“Covert Affairs”) and Daniel Sunjata (“Rescue Me,”
real concerns for their future. Truth be told, there’s also the appeal of being part of a revolution that blows up (figuratively) traditional establishment politics. Upending the status quo and rebellion against the machine is a surefire draw for kids looking for something to protest and a social justice cause to rally around. That’s not to trivialize the Sanders phenomenon which has engaged millions of young people and brought them into the political process with palpable energy. Actress and Sanders supporter Shailene Woodley, 24, connected with the young crowd in her introduction of Sanders at the rally, urging people to go to the polls on election day. “Our greatest defense against tyranny is our right to vote,” Woodley said, reminding the crowd of thousands that conformity didn’t win the Revolutionary War, women’s right to vote or civil rights. Sanders continued the theme. “Democracy is not a spectator sport,” he said, adding, “Real change never takes place from the top down – always from the bottom up.” Comparing his campaign to Clinton’s, he said, “The enthusiasm, energy and drive is with us.” But for how long? Change may be possible if the youth demographic can sustain momentum beyond 2016 for the issues Sanders has highlighted throughout his campaign. But history is against them. Nevertheless, the youthful excitement for Sanders and his platform is nothing short of astonishing, and their power, should they actually vote, should not be underestimated. Regardless of one’s political persuasion, it’s fair to say that anything – or anyone – who can attract the under-30 crowd into politics and get them enthused about their role in creating an American dream that works for them is exactly what this country’s principles of democracy were founded upon. Perhaps the older generation and media don’t give young people enough credit. Let’s see where this may lead. Senior Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.
“Graceland”). “Piper is darling, and I describe her as looking in a really really good mirror,” Walker laughed. “Both characters are young and sexy as opposed to, um, being our age. Mark loves that he’s played by a really handsome man.” Walker and Geragos are such a fascinating pair because their personalities are polar opposites. “I’m Type A, prissy and organized, and Mark is very charismatic and arrogant,” says Walker. “He defended Scott Peterson! I mean, he obviously knows this guy killed his wife! Mark and I have this banter and we go back and forth but when push comes to shove, we’re really good friends.” Although she describes the show’s depiction of their relationship as “us on steroids,” she’s excited that her character will get to do some things that she never did. “I took standards and practices very seriously at CNN, and I did everything by the book,” says Walker. “Julia takes license where
I didn’t. It’s kind of like Olivia Pope on ‘Scandal.’ She was based on Judy Smith, a real person who I worked with during the Bush administration. Unlike Olivia, though, she never killed anyone!” After a career of live TV, Walker is looking forward to the slower pace of a series. “It’s so different,” she marvels. “This is a lot of ‘hurry up and wait’, unlike the immediate gratification of live TV. The process of shooting is very tedious, doing take after take after take. It’s been fascinating to watch.” Walker’s also looking forward to shooting the show in Los Angeles, where both of her children will be in school. “I hope everyone in San Diego will get behind their hometown girl, spread the word and watch the show,” she said. “It would be great if ‘Notorious’ became as big a hit as ‘Scandal!’” You can watch the trailer for “Notorious” on YouTube and follow the show on Facebook and Twitter.

Mozart’s sister ‘back’ for a night at Balboa Theatre BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ozart’s sister, nicknamed Nannerl (short for Maria Anna), was a gifted musician/composer who could have been a contender ... if she hadn’t been a girl. Billed as the “Wunderkinder,” Nannerl and Wolfi were a pair of prodigies who performed together, touring Europe under the direction of their father, Leopold, until Nannerl turned 18, when she was sent home to her mother to prepare for a proper marriage. She married late, lived more than twice as long as her famous younger brother, and became a stepmother, a mother, and a music teacher, not a star. In 2013, actress/playwright/musician Silvia Milo brought Nannerl to life in a remarkable one-woman show, “The Other Mozart.” Originally staged at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, the show went on to a successful run off-Broadway, winning an award for Outstanding Solo Performance. After three years of touring, it’s now coming to the Balboa Theatre, Sunday, June 12, part of Mainly Mozart’s 2016 Summer Festival, whose theme is “An Exploration of Prodigy.” Performed in and on an

Silvia Milo brings Mozart’s sister to life in ‘The Other Mozart,’ June 12 at Balboa Theatre. enormous, corseted dress, “The Other Mozart” is based on historical facts and Mozart family letters, and features music by Wolfgang and Leopold, as well as Marianna Martines, a woman composer of the times who managed to have a successful career. There is also original music by Nathan Davis (Milo’s husband) and Phyllis Chen, members of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE). Using clavichords, music boxes, bells, teacups and fans, they created an award-winning score filled with sounds that Nannerl would have found quite familiar. Born in Warsaw, Poland, Silvia
Milo started playing piano at age 4, moving on to the violin. At 18, she went to study music at NYU, and made New York her home. As an actress, she took on unconventional roles, including Bob Dylan and Hamlet. As an acoustic and electric violinist, she performed with jazz and avant-garde rock bands and composed scores for dance and theater companies. Then, 10 years ago, Nannerl changed her life. Milo never knew about Nannerl until she went to Vienna for Mozart’s 250th birthday celebration. “I saw a small portrait of Mozart’s family,” she said. “And there was

this young woman seated next to Wolfgang at the keyboard, their hands intertwined. In all my years of music classes, women were hardly ever mentioned. Where were the women Mozarts? When I saw one, it really shook me up. I started researching her story, and found it fascinating. I really thought it needed telling, and since no one else seemed to be doing it, I felt I had to. It’s been my mission ever since.” It took two years of research, a year of writing, and the help of director Isaac Byrne to create the theater piece, which has won acclaim in cities like Vienna and London, where the wunderkinder
performed, and Salzburg, where the Mozarts lived. It’s currently in New York again, where two other actresses, a German and a Brazilian, are taking turns in the role, trained by specialists in period movement and the language of fans. Milo will do one-night-only performances here and at San Luis Obispo’s Mozaic Festival in July, then it’s back to Vienna, where she first saw that life-changing painting in 2006. “The Other Mozart” is a chance to watch an unusual performance, learn some little-known socio-musical history, and listen to lovely music. “It’s so magical to hear the re-creation of how Nannerl might have heard the world,” Milo said. “And then there’s the dress! So gorgeous! Made by a designer friend of mine in Poland, and packable, too, so it can fit inside one suitcase! The show is a full theatrical experience, full of beauty and longing, and an emotional experience too, for me and the audience.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Other Mozart” takes the stage 7:30 p.m., Sunday, June 12 at Balboa Theatre, 868 4th Ave., downtown San Diego.

Vaquitas are the most endangered marine mammal in the world and are only found in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico. Their primary threat is death in gillnets, which until very recently supplied shrimp to the U.S. market. The catastrophic 80% decline since 2011 results from illegal sales of an endangered fish, the totoaba, to markets in China.

8th-Grade Science at Pacific Ridge School reaches new heights Just before dawn on the morning of Saturday, March 19, a group of Pacific Ridge 8th-grade students, faculty members and parent volunteers headed for Elmore Desert Ranch to launch a Conceptual Physics class project into the stratosphere. The project – a high-altitude weather balloon carrying scientific experiments – went on a 40-mile journey, reaching an altitude of 94,000 feet – before popping and descending back to earth, landing among agricultural land in the Imperial Valley. “I was so excited to be able to participate in the launch and see my class’ hard work and preparation pay off,” said Pacific Ridge 8th-grade student and Rancho Santa Fe resident Sophia Rose. For a month before the launch, students in the school’s 8th-grade Conceptual Physics class designed experiments, built the balloon’s payloads, plotted its flight path and determined the best methods of data collection. The students mounted resilient GoPro cameras wrapped in chemical glove warmers on the payloads to capture both still photos and video in sub-freezing temperatures. They created capsules out of Styrofoam insulation to protect the technology, and loaded a number of items to test at extreme high altitudes, including a leafy plant, an iPod, a jar of tardigrades organisms, marshmallows and a note written in invisible ink. The classes used

While only a handful of Pacific Ridge community members could make it to the launch, many more followed along at home via a real-time map powered by an onboard GPS, and a student-run livestream broadcast of the entire process, from balloon inflation to retrieval. According to Pacific Ridge Conceptual Physics teacher Brad Melius, community support was essential to the project’s success. The balloon was inflated with helium donated by Matheson Tri-Gas in San Marcos; Spencer Ellis, a graduate student at the University of
California, San Diego served as an invaluable resource throughout the project; a kind Brawley landowner allowed the launch to take place on his private property; and parents, faculty members, and students volunteered time and ideas, and served as the project’s biggest cheerleaders. “It was great to see the whole community so engaged in a science and engineering project,” said Melius. “We use creative experiments as a teaching tool in Physics all the time, but a project of this scale really has an impact. Students can see how different technologies and disciplines come together and how many different skill sets go into making something like this happen. They really got into it and their enthusiasm was contagious.”

June Artists’ Reception to be held at the Off Track Gallery The public is invited to an artists’ reception Saturday June 11, from 4-7 p.m., honoring Carol Korfin, fused glass; Joyce Nash, acrylic; and Sandy Levin, glass. Carol Korfin says, “Each piece of glass art that I design is lovingly created in my head before drawing and cutting the elements from the finest quality glass and firing it in a kiln made especially for glass fusing. Many pieces require multiple firings to achieve the designs and textures to my satisfaction.” Joyce Nash is a water media painter who loves to create art that evokes thought and feeling. Primarily a studio painter, she works from sketches and photographs she takes on location and places great emphasis on design elements such as value and color studies as she works. Nash exhibits locally in several venues and has won awards for her work. Using the theme, “Summertime Hues”, Nash is including several of her seascapes depicting the California Coastline in her current wall exhibit. Sandy Levin states, “I use a variety of techniques in my kiln-formed and casted glass pieces. I normally work on a series of work, making five to ten pieces that have similar aspects, then move to another technique. Among my current work, you will find paintings with glass, casted forms, screen printing on glass, unique drop ring vases and bowls, and plates with hand-pulled glass stringer. Each piece takes several days to complete with multiple firings and cold working to produce a professional finish.” Wine and refreshments will be served at the reception. In addition, all artwork in the Gallery will be 10 percent off the entire day. This event is free and open to the public. Off Track Gallery is located at 937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, Encinitas, 760-942-3636, OffTrackGallery.com.

Lighting the Way to the Most Dramatic Home Theater in San Diego San Diego Home Theater Experts, Modern Home Systems, on lighting your home theater properly. Lights! Camera! Action! It’s no wonder that a great production needs the right light to set the tone. Your home theater is no exception. Outstanding indoor lighting is one of the best ways to distinguish your home theater, and thanks in part to a recent article at CE Pro , here are the best ways to create ambiance and accentuate your space with sensational
lighting. Temperature Did you know that lighting temperature can significantly alter the quality of your home theater? Lights should ideally be set at 6,500 Kelvin. When light temperature is too strong, it can lead to off-set colors. For example, certain temperatures can change the fidelity of the screen, setting hues offbalance. Dimmable LED lighting is the ideal choice for lighting your home theater. Click here to see some examples of how we’ve used light to create the perfect ambiance using just the right temperatures. Lighting Automation Dramatic home theater, San Diego, La Jolla It goes without saying that watching Jurassic Park is completely different than tuning into the 6 o’ clock news. Your lighting should reflect the mood appropriately and automation can set that dream into motion. For example, when you watch the news, your lighting can be programmed
to illuminate into a bright setting. On the other hand, when you’re ready to watch a movie, the lights can dim to perfect theater level. Automation makes lighting incredibly easy. Zoned Lighting In many cases, it makes sense to zone lighting controls. Depending on how your room is set up, you’ll want to take into consideration which part of the room deserves the greatest amount of light versus the area of the room that ought to be dim. Create light installations on unique circuits to customize the look even further. We’ll help you map out a lighting plan that best suits your home theater. Accentuate with Light We work with many San Diegans who want a custom home theater. Regardless of the style you choose, you’ll want to use light to accentuate the space. We can use lighting to draw attention to any facet of the room – a tiered ceiling, awesome
speakers, movie posters or architectural details. Wall sconces, overhead LED lighting and backlighting are all great ways to draw attention to various aspects of the room without detracting from the main show. Themed Theaters You can do so much with proper lighting. From setting the tone to creating a theme, lighting can make or break the space. In one of our recent projects, we used light to theme a Star Wars home theater. Imagine this space without any light at all! It would have instantly fallen flat. This project utilized automation, distributed audio and perfect lighting to create the perfect home theater theme. Get the right lighting in your home theater today.
