Water-use restrictions repealed Board also approves $35.7 million budget
Hiking series across San Dieguito Watershed leads to wedding. A5
BY JOE TASH One year after imposing mandatory water-use restrictions on its customers enforced by fines and penalties, the Santa Fe Irrigation District has changed course, lifting the enforced cutbacks in favor of voluntary conservation measures. The 5-0 vote by the agency’s board of directors on Thursday, June 16, means that its customers in Rancho
Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch are once again free to water their lawns and groves as often and whenever they want. “The public is going to get relief,” said district general manager Michael Bardin. “We’re pleased to bring this to you today.” “That’s great news,” said board president Michael Hogan after Thursday’s vote.
The decision came after state water regulators decided to allow individual water agencies to decide which conservation methods are needed, based on the their own determination of available water supplies. “For San Diego, we have enough water for the next three years,” Bardin said. Last year, in the face of a California drought that was in its fourth year, Gov. Jerry Brown ordered a statewide 25 percent cut in water use. State

regulators responded by requiring water districts to cut back by a range of 4 to 36 percent. Because Santa Fe’s per capita usage was among the highest in the state, it was ordered to cut back by 36 percent. In order to achieve those mandated cuts, Santa Fe instituted a series of measures, such as a two-day per week watering schedule for customers, a ban on washing cars, and other restrictions. The district also instituted allocations, or a set SEE WATER, A22

New associate superintendent has special education focus Muir, Salazar vote against the new contract
BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board was not unanimous in the hiring of its new associate superintendent of administrative services. On June 16, the board voted 3-2 to appoint Mark Miller to replace Jason Viloria, with board members John Salazar and Mo Muir voting against the motion. SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt said they are lucky to bring such an accomplished administrator to the district, noting Miller is an “incredible find” who
will help them work toward the continuing goal of improving special education. Miller is currently the assistant superintendent of special education services with the Capistrano Unified School District in Orange County. Prior to that he worked as the director of special education, director of alternative education and high school assistant principal with the Irvine Unified School District.

BY KAREN BILLING At its June 16 meeting, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board heard some new ideas to promote overall student wellness as part of the district’s Local Control Accountability Plan. Last week’s meeting was a first review of the 2016-19 plan, which is expected to be adopted at the June 30 meeting. Under the state’s Local Control Funding Formula, all districts are required to prepare an LCAP which describes how state It’s been a big funding will be used to fulfill its focus of my work annual goals and priorities for all this year, helping pupils.

Rick Schmitt The district met with parents, students, educators, community members and district staff to develop the vision for the plan. In feedback gathered since the fall, Associate Superintendent Jason Viloria said there has been a real emphasis placed on social and emotional support and student connectedness. The LCAP outlined the district’s proposal to add a new site social worker role, placed at all of the high school campuses to help support the counselors. They will also add three mental health providers, each of whom will come with two to three interns to assist. Viloria said the district is working to create a “team effort” where these new positions can work along with the counseling department and an additional school nurse to help students in need. He said staff all feels this model is appropriate. SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt said as students these days face more pressures, having support at school is something more districts are moving toward. “It’s been a big focus of my work this year, helping kids navigate the stress of teenage years,” Schmitt said. Viloria said the district is still working on how the process will work, as well as training teachers to be able to identify SEE SDUHSD, A22

Local family welcomes foster children into loving, safe home
The Weinstein family has fostered three children through Angels Foster Family Network
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having been adopted by loving parents, Nanci Weinstein had long considered adopting a child of her own. When the Solana Beach mother of two began researching her options online a few years ago, however, she came across Angels Foster Family Network, a San Diego-based nonprofit, licensed foster family agency. “It was the first time that I really thought of foster care as not just a Band-Aid, but a solution to a major problem,” said Weinstein, whose family has lived in Solana Beach for four years. After learning more about the organization, Weinstein and her husband, David, a retired lieutenant colonel with the United States Marine Corps, decided to become foster parents. At the time, David was still active duty military, so the family didn’t know how long they would be in Solana Beach, but they were excited to welcome their first foster child into their home. Today, the Weinstein family is currently fostering their third child. The couple became certified foster parents in November 2013. Just after the holidays, in January 2014, they picked up their first foster child. The 7-month-old boy stayed with the family for about five weeks before he went on to live with his grandmother. “It was great because that’s the point of what we do — we stand in the gap until another permanent situation comes along
The Weinstein family that’s safe for that child,” said Weinstein, a travel agent who works from home. Even though it was such a short case, the Weinstein family has kept in touch with the now 3-year-old boy and his family. The two families have even visited the zoo together.
COURTESY
“There’s a bond that you can create if the biological parents are open to it,” Weinstein said. The Weinstein family quickly formed a very strong bond with their second foster child, and eventually, her family.
The father occasionally calls and the mother texts and sends picture of her now 2-year-old daughter every day. The families have also used FaceTime to stay in touch. Weinstein also recently visited the family in Texas. “I like seeing my mom and her mom connected and very happy,” Weinstein’s oldest daughter Grace Anne said with a big smile. “They’re very, very close.” In July 2014, David and Nanci Weinstein picked up the 3-week-old girl from the neonatal intensive care unit at Tri-City Medical Center, where the premature baby was being treated for health complications. The family later learned she had craniosynostosis, a birth defect in which one or more of the joints between the bones of the baby’s skull close prematurely, before the baby’s brain is fully formed. And when the baby girl had surgery, Weinstein stayed with her at the hospital while she recuperated — which surprised some of the hospital staff. “It was far more than we initially dreamed we’d have to go through, but I think that’s part of foster care,” said Weinstein, whose former foster daughter also had two minor surgeries following her first major surgery. “If I wasn’t taking care of her, who would be able to take her to these doctor appointments? Who would be able to stay with her at the hospital? “It wasn’t even a thought in my mind. Had it been one of my own children, I would SEE FAMILY, A20

Hiking series across San Dieguito Watershed leads to wedding BY KRISTINA HOUCK ust as most movie buffs know the story of “When Harry Met Sally,” many San Dieguito Lagoon enthusiasts have come to learn the love story of Rob and Vicki. “We’re actually very famous,” Robert Weisgrau said as he and his new wife, Victoria Monaco, laughed. The Rancho Santa Fe couple live off of El Camino Real by the San Dieguito Lagoon — a place that’s close to both their hearts. They met while experiencing the San Dieguito River Valley through the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy’s “Exploring Our Sense of Place” program. And after they share their story with others, some say it’s fate. “I never thought that I would fall in love so hard like this,” Monaco said. “I think we’re soul mates.” Both New York natives and parents to three adult children each, Weisgrau has served as a radiologist at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego since 1990. Monaco, now retired, worked in commercial real estate for about 30 years. Also both nature buffs, Weisgrau and Monaco separately signed up for the Exploring Our Sense of Place program in 2010. A longtime supporter of the conservancy, Weisgrau registered for his first hiking series with the organization. Monaco signed up for the series at the suggestion of her next door neighbor, Kimberly Godwin. As an advisory board member for the conservancy, Godwin had previously participated in the program. “I tried to get a friend to do it with me, but

following month. Weisgrau, who was divorced at the time, had invited a friend, but she was unable to make the first excursion. With no partners, he and Monaco naturally started talking on the trail. “We were talking for a while, and as we were talking, I kind of felt my heart open,” said Monaco, who hadn’t dated anyone after her late husband’s passing. “It was just a really special feeling. I didn’t know what it meant at the time.” “I was interested, but it was the first hike,”
Weisgrau said. “We were going to be hiking every month for about a year. If things went bad, I still wanted to enjoy the hikes.” Still, Weisgrau and Monaco became quite inseparable after that first hike. In fact, they have pictures of the first day they met because a photographer with the conservancy snapped some shots of the two together. “It seemed like every picture he took of either one of us, we were both in the same picture,” Weisgrau said. “It’s really very funny looking back.” By December, Weisgrau asked Monaco to a George Winston concert in North Park after his daughter “ditched” him. Monaco returned the gesture by asking him to a hike from Del Mar to La Jolla at the start of 2011. The duo went on their first official date to a jazz club on Valentine’s Day 2011. Following a whirlwind romance, Weisgrau proposed to Monaco on the top of Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy in October 2014. They were hiking the volcano when Weisgrau went down on one knee and proposed in Italian. The couple married on April 10 at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in Solana Beach. “It’s very special each getting a second chance,” Weisgrau said. “It is possible.” And it all started with a hike. Created in 2007 by conservancy board member, Chris Khoury, and his wife, Linda Corey, the eight-session seminar series includes a reception and seven excursions with lectures by experts.

New community health center opens in Linda Vista Roberta Feinberg is CEO of San Diego Family Care BY KRISTINA HOUCK A one-stop community health center has replaced what was once a rundown supermarket in Linda Vista. Although the abandoned building had been a health hazard for many years, San Diego Family Care CEO Roberta Feinberg, a local resident, had long envisioned a state-of-the-art facility that could improve public health. “I could visualize it and everybody knows when I Roberta visualize something, it may Feinberg take a long time, but it usually happens,” Feinberg said. “When we heard that this was possibly available for lease, the vision became reality and we just went for it.” A part of the nonprofit San Diego Family Care network, the new 23,000-square-foot Linda Vista Health Center opened in May, expanding the original campus and creating a one-stop medical, dental and mental health facility for San Diego families. Over the years the building at 7011 Linda Vista Road was home to a supermarket, a thrift store and bargain outlet. It has been completely renovated and outfitted with 19
exam rooms, six dental spaces, a private mental health pavilion, a lab, a pharmacy and five waiting rooms. While San Diego Family Care will continue to provide patient services in its original buildings located at 6973 Linda Vista Road, the new facility is expected to accommodate an additional 40,000 patient visits in its first year, up from 50,000 visits at the old facility. “We’re continuing to do what we’ve done all these years, it’s just that Linda Vista just got a big boost,” Feinberg said. Feinberg has led the growing nonprofit through multiple expansions over the years. A New York native, Feinberg got her start at Linda Vista Health Care Center as a nurse when she first moved to California more than 30 years ago. She attended nursing school at the University at Buffalo, earned her master’s degree at Syracuse University and worked as a nurse in New York until she and her husband relocated to the West Coast. After one year with Linda Vista Health Care Center, the board of directors hired Feinberg as chief executive officer. “I am privileged to lead this because of the good work that it does,” said Feinberg, a former La Jolla resident who has lived locally for 26 years. Established in 1972, Linda Vista Health Care Center was originally a small clinic with four exam rooms and one waiting room. Over the years the health center expanded to meet the community’s growing needs.

Linda Vista Health Center “We kept adding buildings every time a neighbor moved out,” Feinberg said. “We now have a full city block.” In 1987, the clinic merged with other clinics in City Heights. Today, San Diego Family Care operates seven community health centers in City Heights and Linda Vista. Under Feinberg’s leadership, San Diego Family Care has grown from roughly 20 staff members to 272. The once $40,000 annual budget is now $24 million. Last year, the corporation delivered 96,000 visits to individuals in need in San Diego County. “At the beginning, I had a lot to learn, and I have learned more from my mistakes than I have from my successes,” she said. “The success has come from zigzagging through all of the funding changes in health care in 30 years. It’s been up and it’s been down.” Feinberg said the advent of Obamacare and the expanded Medi-Cal program created the need for the new clinic. “The clinic in Linda Vista got so impacted, we were turning people away by

the thousands because of Obamacare,” she said. “They were looking for a doctor and we ran out of space.” With $2.7 million in grants and donations, and no federal dollars, San Diego Family Care expanded Linda Vista Health Care Center, renovating and equipping the new facility. The nonprofit also signed a 30-year lease on the building, ensuring that the center will serve the community for years to come. “We’ve increased capacity and increased access to care,” said Feinberg, noting that San Diego Family Care not only aims to improve public health, but keep people out of emergency rooms for non-emergency visits. San Diego Family Care accepts multiple insurance types, including Medi-Cal and Medicare, and all services are available on a sliding fee scale to uninsured individuals. “We serve everyone,” Feinberg said. “Whether they have money or not, they are welcome. No one is turned away due to inability to pay.” For more about San Diego Family care or to donate, visit sdfamilycare.org.

Former NFL star leads prostate cancer awareness campaign BY GIDEON RUBIN During the prime of his NFL career, Mike Haynes could stare down the likes of Joe Theismann and John Riggins and not blink. His singular focus helped make Haynes one of the NFL’s most valuable defensive players of his era in the 1980s, helping lead the Los Angeles Raiders to a Super Bowl XVIII championship over the Washington Redskins. It wasn’t until he was in the confines of a doctor’s office where the larger-than-life NFL Hall of Famer, who lives in Del Mar, met moments that to this day he can’t account for. Haynes was with his wife, Gigi, awaiting prostate cancer test results. “When the doctor says your test results are positive I was lucky to have my wife with me in the room because I didn’t hear anything he said for probably the next five to 10 minutes,” Haynes said. Haynes, who is now 62 was 55 at the time of his diagnosis. He has since undergone successful treatment and is now promoting awareness of the disease as a spokesman for the NFL, which has teamed up with the Urology Care Foundation (the official foundation of the American Urological Association: Visit www.urologyhealth.org).
The awareness campaign is in conjunction with June’s Men’s Health Month. “If you’ve never had that experience you don’t know what it is until you experience it yourself,” Haynes said. “My life kind of flashed ahead of me to where you’re thinking about family, different things I wanted to do and things I wanted to do for them, all kinds of things. “It caught me off guard. I was not really ready for this.” The diagnosis came as a surprise to Haynes, who followed a healthy lifestyle program almost to the letter after his retirement from the NFL. “I was getting up every day and doing a little exercise, doing a little yoga and eating healthy meals, getting good sleep,” Haynes said. “You feel like you’re doing a lot of things to help you live a long time and then when you get news like that you realize, ‘Wow,’ you do those things because you want to live a long time, but that doesn’t guarantee that you will. That was a shock.” Haynes made an immediate impact in the NFL. He was named the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1976 with the New England Patriots and in 1984 playing for the Raiders he was named the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year.
Mike Haynes Other honors include being named to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary All-Time Team and the 1980s All-Decade team. The former Arizona State standout became the first person in his family to graduate from college. “You realize that when you go through situations like this that all these different things that you’re super proud of don’t really matter”

when you’re diagnosed with a disease such as prostate cancer, Haynes said. The father of six had three young children at the time of his diagnosis.

Rex, is in middle school. “I just wanted to see them grow up and go to college and be good people,” Haynes said. “I didn’t want to leave my wife in a horrible situation. “Even though doctors were saying ‘Mike you caught it early, you’re lucky. Don’t worry,’” Haynes said, “I just thought they were being nice.” Haynes’ doctors’ weren’t just being nice. Their prognosis proved to be accurate. Haynes’ experience with prostate cancer, however, compelled him to take on his new role raising awareness about the life-threatening disease that he acknowledged he knew little about before the diagnosis. Haynes pointed to some alarming statistics, noting that one in seven men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime, and more than twice that many African-American men (one in two-and-a-half) will develop the disease. He said it’s important that one takes care of their health, but also important to know one’s risk factors, including family history. Even more important, Haynes said, is to be proactive. “Get your robes on guys and get out there and get tested,” Haynes said.

Q&A: ‘American Sniper’ author Scott McEwen on Chris Kyle and more BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ
M
illions of Americans read “American Sniper,” and millions more saw the movie. Most were mesmerized, deeply moved, and ultimately even more appreciative of what our military – and their families – endure on a daily basis. What they must do to keep us – and each other – safe. With the current controversy about the number of Scott medals Chris McEwen earned, the time seemed right to ask the man who convinced Chris Kyle to tell his story, and who was a co-author of the book and an advisor on the movie set, Scott McEwen, to sit down and answer a few questions for us. Meet Scott and ask him your own questions during a special screening of “American Sniper” at ArcLight Cinemas in La Jolla, Wednesday, June 29, at 6 p.m. (4425 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, 92122). What led to you writing American Sniper with Chris Kyle? How did the project come about?
I met Chris while he was still active. We met through some mutual friends who were Navy SEALs, and spent a lot of time together when he was in town and not deployed. The project came about when I realized that his story was truly historical and convinced him to document it for history (write a book). How much time did you spend with Chris? How well do you believe you knew him? Chris and I spent hundreds of hours putting the story together. I got to know Chris and his family really well during this time, and became very aware of the struggles they were going through in trying to readjust after nearly 10 years at war. What was your biggest take-away from writing this book? I think that our nation needs to respect those that have made the decision to defend us in the military, and support them in the event they are in need of medical help on return (VA). These men and women have made a commitment to do a service for this country, and we should honor their sacrifice. What do you hope others take away from reading the book and seeing the movie? I hope people gain a better
understanding of what our military men, women and families go through in deploying and being in harm’s way for extended periods of time. Not just the SEAL teams, but all military. The sacrifice is real, and many times life altering (if not ending.) People should know that this is going on, even though only 1 percent of our society actually serves. How do you respond to the current charges that Chris exaggerated his contributions? I find that the claims of discrepancy in Chris’ medal count are unfounded. The claims are essentially based upon an alleged comment by “an unnamed Navy official” who purportedly said that Chris earned fewer medals than were found in his official record — a document that’s called the DD-214 — and the assertion that Chris was only given three or four commendations that could be gleaned from certain other documents. But they didn’t offer any backup to prove that’s all there is. Meanwhile, they released the DD-214, the official government record, and that shows Chris being awarded at least two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars. I’m not aware of a document that lessens the medals that were contained in the DD-214. Do you think it matters how

many medals Kyle actually received? Why? I think it is important that you strive for as much accuracy as possible any time you are writing a true story about someone’s life and accomplishments. The men and women of our military take medals seriously as recognition of their accomplishments while serving this nation, and for that reason alone it matters-a lot. However, in the overall picture of Chris Kyle’s service (or any member of our military men and women’s service) I do not think the “medal count” even begins to tell the story of the

man or the woman. What matters about Chris Kyle’s story is that he strove to bring as many of his fellow service members back to this country alive as he could. Chris served with honor and distinction, and ultimately gave his life helping a fellow service member. That is his legacy, not the number of awards or medals he received. You have written far more than “American Sniper.” What is next from Scott McEwen? I have been very busy. I’ve got my newest novel, “Ghost Sniper,” in a four-novel series called “Sniper Elite,” which releases this summer, July 12. Sony/Columbia are now in production on a movie based on the Sniper Elite series. Also, in September we release “American Commander,” a book on the life of Ryan Zinke, a current congressman from Montana, who was a SEAL for 23 years and was one of Chris’ commanders. It is really a book about American exceptionalism, devotion to this country, and what it takes to make and maintain the SEALs and the U.S. Military in general, the strongest force for good on the face of the planet.

RSF dad, daughter conquer seven summits BY PAM KRAGEN On May 21, the father-and-daughter duo of Greg and Vanessa Blasic made it into one of the loftiest clubs on Earth. By reaching the peak of Mount Everest last month, the pair completed their 12-year quest of scaling the tallest mountains on each of the seven continents. Fewer than 400 people have accomplished this arduous feat, which required years of planning and training, many months of travel and a combined vertical climb of more than 140,000 feet. Greg, 56, and Vanessa, 27, describe the completion of the “7 Summits” as a surreal and thrilling achievement, but it wasn’t without cost. During their final ascent on Everest, Greg developed severe frostbite and had to spend six days recuperating in a Katmandu hospital. Depending on how his injuries heal, his mountain climbing days could be over, but he wouldn’t trade the experience. “A positive attitude and environment leads to success on the mountain and in life,” said Greg, a civil engineer who specializes in airport projects. “I found that when there is negativity ... it can significantly affect performance and the outcome of your endeavors .... that being able to recover from setbacks quickly will lead to success.” The Blasics say they climb for the challenge, the joy of traveling to new places, the fun of meeting new people and the serenity of experiencing the beauty of nature. They also enjoy the chance to be together. “We help each other,” Greg said. “I could help her when she had small problems with her stomach or nausea and she helped me with climbing skills because hers are better than mine.” In an interview on Tuesday, June 14 at the mountaintop Rancho Santa Fe home Greg shares with his wife, Marlene, a registered nurse, the Blasics talked about their climbing ups and downs. Growing up as a boy in Maryland, Greg said he loved to hike. When he and Marlene moved with their three children to La Jolla in the 1990s, the family enthusiastically embraced the wealth of local outdoor opportunities, including camping and hiking with the Boy Scouts. Greg was a troop leader for his boys — Nick, now 32, and Greg Jr., 29 — and in 2002, their troop organized a two-week backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada. The trip included a climb of Mount Whitney, which at 14,505 feet is the tallest peak in the contiguous U.S. Twelve-year-old Vanessa didn’t want to be left out, so she tagged along on the trip, which was a great success and the beginning of the family’s climbing adventures. In 2005, Greg, Nick and Vanessa traveled to Tanzania and climbed
Vanessa Blasic (left) and her father Greg Blasic near the Mount Everest summit on May 21. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak at 19,341 feet. “Kilimanjaro was a big one,” Vanessa said. “When we finished it, everybody was asking us what we were going to climb next and we just thought, let’s keep going.” To sharpen their skills, Greg, Nick and Vanessa enrolled in mountaineering school in Washington state in 2006. Marlene and Greg Jr., a hairstylist who lives in Mission Valley, didn’t share the climbing bug so they both opted out. The following year, Greg, Nick and Vanessa climbed Europe’s highest peak, 18,510-foot Mount Elbrus in Russia. Then in 2008, they climbed Australia’s tallest peak, Mt. Kosciuszko (7,310). When the Blasics became aware of the 7 Summits club, they made it their goal to finish them all, managing a climb nearly every year. Nick, who’s married and lives in Carlsbad, did all of the climbs except Everest. He works as a paramedic/firefighter for the city of San Diego and didn’t want to take the time away from his wife or his work. Not every summit attempt was a success. In 2009, they were turned back by bad weather from the peak of Aconcagua in Argentina, but returned two years later to conquer South America’s tallest mountain (22,841 feet). And in 2012 while attempting North America’s tallest peak, 20,308-foot Denali in Alaska, Greg fell ill and they had to return the following year to complete their quest. Their favorite climb was Mount Vinson in Antarctica, at 16,050 feet. A few years ago, the Australian peak of Mt. Kosciuszko was replaced on the 7 Summits list because some climbers dispute Australia’s status as a continent. While the Blasics’ 2008 climb already counted toward the goal, the trio decided in 2014 to also climb Oceania’s tallest mountain, the Carstensz Pyramid, a spiky 16,024-foot mountain in New

But battles among the tribes on the island made it too dangerous and they canceled their trip. All that remained was Everest, and the Asian peak proved to be a challenge far beyond what Greg and Vanessa anticipated. The world’s tallest mountain at 29,029 feet, Everest has long been known for its treacherous weather and climbing conditions. More than 280 people have died on Everest since 1922, including 19 killed in an avalanche last year and seven who died on the mountain during the same weeks Greg and Vanessa were climbing. “It can be dangerous. It tests you,” Greg said. “You learn the risks and how to work with them. If you have the training, the right equipment, the right footwear and you pay attention to the weather, you can reduce the risks. The summit wasn’t ever our priority, safety and health was.” Vanessa said she found training for and climbing Everest a great mental challenge. “It taught me that I can get through anything in my life or school,” said Vanessa, who, for the two-month trip, took a leave from her three-year physician assistant graduate program at the University of Southern California.
Greg and Vanessa spent a year training for Everest, including two hours in the gym on weekdays and up to 8 hours of hiking and rock-climbing on the weekends. They traveled to Nepal with a combined six large duffel bags of equipment, which had to be trekked overland to base camp at 17,500 feet, where they spent 13 days acclimating to the low-oxygen environment. Then on April 22, they started up the mountain. Because of the difficulty of the climb and the toll it takes on the body, an Everest attempt takes about a month, with groups cycling up and back to and from a series of four camps spaced about 1,500 to 3,000 vertical feet apart. The climb involved crossing crevasses hundreds of feet deep on prone ladders, pulling themselves by rope up the steep Lhotse Face, a snow- and wind-blasted ice slope, and scaling the Khumbu icefall, an enormous moving river of ice so unstable it must be climbed at night when it’s frozen. Vanessa said it took all of her mental and physical strength to keep climbing. To inspire herself, she wrapped pink duct tape around one of her gloves on which she wrote in Sharpie pen: “You can do it! Smile

and keep going!” “Whenever I thought I couldn’t go on, I just looked at it, and then just focused on each individual step. I’d say ‘left,’ and then ‘right,’ and then ‘left’ and ‘right’ again,” she said, adding that they each burned about 8,000 calories a day. The summit attempt began at 8 p.m. May 20. With their guide and two Nepalese sherpas, the Blasics left Camp 4, at 26,000 feet, and climbed through the night in temperatures that dropped to 20 below zero. Vanessa, climbing a few feet ahead of her father, reached the peak first at 5:41 a.m. “I was amazed at what we’d done, not just on Everest, but everything we accomplished since Kilimanjaro. It was an amazing feeling,” she said. Greg said he found the entire experience surreal. “I can’t describe how it felt, but to be at that elevation, seeing everything, it was very rewarding.” He was on such a high that morning, he didn’t even realize he had frostbite until they got back to Camp 4 and he took off his gloves and boots and discovered five of his fingers and part of his right foot were frozen. With assistance, they hobbled down to Camp 2 at 21,500 feet where a medical evacuation helicopter picked him up. Since returning home two weeks ago, Greg has been consulting with mountain medicine specialists. Only time will tell if his tissues will regenerate or if he’ll need full or partial amputations. He hopes to get back to work soon and hasn’t ruled out more climbs. Vanessa said she would like to return to Everest someday with Nick, so he, too, can complete the 7 Summits. She’s also got her eye on some of the other Himalayan peaks, like the ultra-challenging Ama Dablam. “What I learned is that when you put your mind to something, you can achieve it,” she said.

Volunteers expand coastal dunes for endangered species at San Elijo Lagoon BY KRISTINA HOUCK While some San Diegans built sandcastles at the beach this past sunny Saturday, dozens of local volunteers spent hours building “sandcastles” for wildlife. About 40 people helped dig and dump sand June 18 to expand coastal dune habitat for endangered species at San Elijo Lagoon. “We’re really lucky in where this lagoon is — siting in between two communities that, I think, actually get it,” said Doug Gibson, executive director and principal scientist for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, the nonprofit land trust for San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. “For them to give up part of their weekend shows that they don’t just understand what we’re doing, they want to be a part of it.” The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy aims to protect and restore the resources of the lagoon, its watershed and related ecosystems for current and future generations. For the past decade, the conservancy has worked to restore natural dunes by removing invasive plants and enhancing the habitat for the avian, reptile and plant species that rely on them. “The amazing thing is how resilient these areas are,” said Gibson, who has been with the conservancy for 20 years. Ice plants, he said, had covered some of the area for decades. Once the invasive plants were removed, however, native plants began to pop up. “The seedbank underneath there is viable. They’re able to hibernate for a long time and remain viable,” Gibson explained. Located on the east side of Coast Highway
KRISTINA HOUCK
Volunteers expand coastal dunes for endangered species at San Elijo Lagoon 101, between Cardiff-by-the-Sea and Solana Beach, the approximately 6-acre dune site is home to a variety of plant and animal species, including the threatened western snowy plover and endangered California least tern. The conservancy organized the volunteer event in an effort to expand the coastal dunes, providing nesting and roosting habitat away from the stressors of the surrounding populated beaches. Once the sand is sculpted and seeds are eventually planted, the space would extend the dunes by almost an acre. “We revised our coastal permits and decided that this was the angle we were going to go,” Gibson said. “Already, to me, this looks amazing.” Volunteers helped haul and spread sand,
25-pound bucket by bucket, to expand the coastal dune site in the lagoon’s west basin. The excess sand came from the conservancy’s annual inlet excavation. Completed last week, the inlet excavation improves tidal flow and coastal water quality. Approximately 1,800-cubic yards of sand were onsite at the dunes for the event. Kelly Sawyer and her son, Jack, were among the dozens of volunteers supporting the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy. The mother-son team were volunteering with Teen Volunteers in Action, a nonprofit that develops young males into community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal development. “It’s good to help your community,” said Jack, an entering ninth grader at Santa Fe

Christian Schools. “And it’s a great organization,” Sawyer said. Brian Heid, and his son Trevor, were also on hand, getting an early start to their Father’s Day weekend by volunteering with the conservancy. Trevor, an entering ninth grader and football player at La Costa Canyon High School, was one of a few members of the school’s football team helping out. “This was kind of our front yard for many years as a kid,” said Heid, who grew up in Solana Beach. “I feel like I’m doing a little bit,” he added. “If I do a little bit more each year and everybody does a little bit more each year, we’ll keep areas like this preserved.” Although hauling and spreading the sand was tiring, especially during a hot day, Gibson helped encourage the volunteers, explaining the importance of their efforts. “They’re going to be able to drive by this area 50 years from now and it’s going to be this vibrant, functioning dune habitat that they helped to create,” he said. “We need to make these connections that when you come out and help our events, these are areas that you can come back and visit over your lifetime and see how it progresses,” he added. “That’s a connection we’re trying to make, and maybe if we make that connection, the actions and the behaviors that people have towards the environment will change as well.” For more about the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, or to donate or volunteer, visit www.sanelijo.org.

Sun FireDefense bringing safety and protection to North County residents Jim Moseley, the founder and CEO of Sun FireDefense, is going global. His company recently was awarded a contract to support new high-rise development in Dubai. But residents of the North County area of San Diego can also take advantage of his products’ technology developed for the NASA Space Shuttle and expanded to protect homes from being destroyed by fire.
Space Shuttle and the MARS project. These properties keep oxygen out of the wood in a way that never gives the fire a chance to ignite. You can hold a 5000F map gas torch directly on a piece of SPF3000-treated wood for five minutes without it catching fire. This is three times the temperature of a house fire.
A Los Angeles-area resident, Moseley’s fire-protection applications – including a clear spray and window coverings – earned him the 2014 Patrick Soon-Shiong Los Angeles Business Journal’s Innovator of the Year award.
Q: What other products are there like yours? What sets yours apart?
“We are trying to get it out to as many homes as we can,” Moseley said. Question: Is it true that 50 percent of homes that burn to the ground aren’t even in the direct path of a fire? Jim Moseley: Yes, the burning embers travel miles beyond the actual fire and even with A-rated shingles and tiles that are difficult to ignite, the embers build enough heat on the roof to transfer through to the plywood underneath the roof to burn it down. Q: How can your product help? Can you explain the process a homeowner goes through to properly treat their home with your products? JM: Just by merely spraying the plywood or decking underneath the roof and under the eves, this greatly reduces the risk of this happening when applied by our licensed contractors. Also, by installing our SPF3000 window coverings, it will keep the radiant heat from a wildland fire from blowing out the windows and the fire burning the home down from the inside out. Q: What is the science behind your product – basically, how does it work? JM: We have several ingredients which include alumina, zirconia and inconnel. These are all aerospace components that were used on both the
JM: Really this is the only long-term solution, meaning seven to 10 years, guaranteed for five years. The only other alternatives are gels and foams that have to be applied just before the fire or they dry up and become ineffective. The problem with that is two-fold: Getting to the house while the fire is in close proximity as well as the waste of money if the house is gelled or foamed and the fire never reaches the house. Q: How much does it cost to treat a home with your spray product? JM: It costs $3 to $4 per square foot of area treated not including the labor which usually runs between 50 cents to $1 per square foot. On older shake wood homes we recommend two coats because the extra absorption is so important. Q: What is your main hope in treating more homes with your products? JM: Our goal is to save at least the 50 percent of the homes that aren’t in the direct path of the fire and reduce the loss of human life and property that can’t be easily replaced. Building a new home costs a minimum of $200 per square foot. Why not spend $3 to $4 per square foot extra to protect it for the peace of mind? People don’t realize how much money is spent just in relocating as well as time to rebuild after a fire. It’s not merely the house, but all of the contents, family heirlooms and art that is being protected along with the structure that is important to consider.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Many Thanks to the RSF Community I would like to thank the many special people who worked tirelessly on the campaign to elect our new members to the Association board. Congratulations to Janet Danola, Ken Markstein and Allen Finkelson. So much appreciation and thanks go out to all of you who through the years have given your time and dedication to make Rancho Santa Fe one of the greatest communities to live in. May all of you enjoy the upcoming holiday and let us never forget what made this wonderful country of ours so great. Happy Independence Day! Nancy Sullivan
SFID Director Election While it has been my pleasure to serve as the Division #1 board member at the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) for the past four years, I have decided not to run for re-election this November. So if you have an interest in public service, I encourage you to consider running for either my board seat or the board seat at any of the other special districts in our area. Many times these elections are uncontested, and in that case the incumbent board seat is not even shown on the ballot. In the November elections there will be two board seat positions up for vote at the Santa Fe Irrigation District. My Division #1, which is primarily the western portion of Rancho Santa Fe and the Sun Valley area, and Division #2 which is the eastern portion of Solana Beach. You must live in the areas to be a candidate. A division map can be found on the sfidwater.org website, or you can contact the San Diego Registry of Voters for specific address information. I have served as an SFID board member at no cost to the district for my entire four-year term. Most directors at California “special districts” such as SFID, the local Fire Districts, etc. have the choice to take per diem compensation, travel expenses for optional meetings, and receive subsidized or free healthcare costs paid by these special districts tax free. Other than myself, only Director King representing Division #3, have declined all forms of compensation at SFID. If you want to continue to raise important issues and challenge the status quo, I think you will enjoy being a board member at SFID and/or other special districts. If you are altruistic in your approach, are open-minded, and are not interested in what’s in it for you financially, I think you will be an even better board member.
Details on upcoming elections will be available at the SFID office and at the San Diego Registry of Voters. You must sign up as a candidate during the early summer. I can be contacted at ggruzdowich@sfidwater.org if you have additional questions. Greg Gruzdowich
Fiber-Optic Internet: Summary and Questions I reviewed the board meeting minutes from 1/15 to 5/15, focusing on the topic of fiber optic Internet, and thought Covenant members might find a summary useful. (As of 6/14, the Technology Committee minutes are not yet available.) 2015: A) January - the board continues to review options, including an AT&T proposal. Meetings were subsequently held with 10 providers. B) In March/April Magellan Advisors was engaged, funded by $100,000 from the Community Enhancement Fund. C) The Aug. 7 strategic planning meeting listed broadband infrastructure/fiber optic Internet as the board’s #1 “existing priority” (out of seven). D) In September the board approved developing an RFQP to send to providers. E) In November seven companies responded with proposals and four were to be interviewed the week of November 9. F) In December $120,000 was approved to pay Peace & Shea and Magellan to complete Phase 2 of the consulting project. 2016: G) January - at counsel’s recommendation, work was done to develop term sheets with each bidder, the result being an “apples to apples” comparison available for review. H) In February the Technology Committee was considering two potential partners to use on the project. I) In March Director Wilkinson reported he was meeting with different companies, which would later be presented to the community. J) In April Wilkinson reported that Peace & Shea and Magellan were working with equity advisors under attorney/client privilege. K) In May Director Licosati made a presentation to the board on behalf of the Technology Committee that included information on Hotwire Communications and an LOI. Five executives from Hotwire were present, as were Peace & Shea and Magellan. Board Resolution 2016-104, which included authorization of $50,000 to be spent from the CEF, passed 6-0. A couple further questions resulted from this review: 1. Per the 5/16 minutes, “Tech Counsel Brett Peace states that…Hotwire will require 1200
pre-signups from Covenant members.” Per the front page story by Karen Billings in the 6/9 RSF Review, “(Director) Wilkinson stressed that the Association has not guaranteed subscribers to Hotwire. He said that the Association itself has set a threshold of interest from 1,200 subscribers before they feel confident taking it to a community-wide vote.” Could the board clarify this point? 2. I considered my pre-subscription in the Hotwire project a non-binding indication of interest. Was I correct in doing so? 3. Assuming pre-subscription is non-binding, if the 1,200 threshold is met and a community vote passes, when are the Association and Hotwire legally bound to each other? Will there be another sign-up period that will require 1,200 binding commitments from Covenant members before the project proceeds? Thank you! Mark Holmlund
Now I Get It I did not understand how The Covenant was structured and what made all the old-time residents so happy. Well, now I do! So, in keeping with a theme of living in a blind, socialist past, I strongly suggest we subsidize the vacant market rents from Association fees so we can have a grocery store, subsidize the antique shop so those owners can stay in business and subsidize every business in town except realtors, banks and brokerage firms, because they take parking spaces. We may wish to have the Association pay to take down dead trees on private property because the owners either will not or cannot afford to do so themselves. Let’s continue to be the only HOA out of 45,000 in California that requires voter registration and let’s continue to have the top 8 residents pay more in Association fees than the bottom 285. There was even a suggestion to have the County reroute traffic around The Covenant. LOL. These facts and suggestions seem absurd (to some) but all are true and have been suggested to your board (by past board members or a former dearly loved ex-Association manager). If only Lenin had lived in The Covenant, we would have loved him too. My final wish is that maybe we can get that famous and well-loved former long-time manager to return. After all, according to public statements, he took a very reduced pay package when he left. (Why would he do that?) I’m sure he would not see any conflict of interest in representing the Association and his current wealthy real estate developer clients at the same time. Hmm? Jim Boon, HOPEFUL FOR PEACE

My Sincere Apology and Congratulations Dear Friends and Neighbors, Now that the election is over, it’s time for us to move forward and leave the divisiveness behind and support our new board in advancing the goals of our community. But before we do, I want to acknowledge an incorrect statement I made during our campaign. In the June 2, 2016 Review I made the statement that Association member Susan Woolley is a client of our ex-manager Pete Smith, who repaved her post office parking lot on the Association’s dime several years ago. Mrs. Woolley and Mr. Smith have both said that it isn’t true and I take them at their word. I was misinformed as to the facts and immediately published a retraction on the Rancho Santa Fe Post website. To be clear, that statement never suggested any unauthorized use of Association funds. Nevertheless my statement was misinformed and I would like to offer my sincere apology to Mr. Smith and Mrs. Woolley for that statement. Special congratulations to Janet Danola, Allen Finkelson and Ken Markstein! Let’s all work together to move the community forward in a thoughtful and meaningful manner with our newly elected board. Sincerely Terry Peay

FROM FAMILY, A4 have stayed,” she added. “This is a child in my care. I love her as my own while she’s in my care, so of course I’m going to stay with her.” The girl became a part of the Weinstein family for 13 months. The girl may never know that she was once placed in foster care. She was reunited with her biological parents when she was 14 months old. But it doesn’t matter to Weinstein whether she’s known as her former foster mom or “auntie.” “What she knows me as is not as important as just the fact that I get to see that she’s well and happy and healthy and growing,” Weinstein said. Because of the family’s strong bond with the girl, it was difficult when she went back to her biological family, especially for Weinstein. “There was a grieving process for sure,” Weinstein admitted. “The day that I literally was handing her back, I was bawling, but I was crying happy tears and sad tears,” she said. “I was equally happy for her parents as I was sad for me. But I knew our time was done. I wasn’t meant to raise her and that would have felt wrong had I kept her.” After such a long case, Weinstein made it a point to ask her daughters, now 13-year-old Grace Anne and 9-year-old Rebecca, whether they were ready for another foster brother or foster sister. They had become very attached to their foster sister. “If I had two children that weren’t willing to help out that would make it much more difficult,” Weinstein said. “But they’re always ready to help me and that makes it a true family commitment.” As a family, Weinstein said, they feel they were called to help foster children. “There’s a lot that I’ve learned,” said Grace Anne, a seventh grader at Santa Fe Christian Schools, who plans to foster children when she’s an adult. “The bond that you get to have with the baby is amazing. Seeing a baby hit milestones has been really important to me. Their life started in such a dark place but they are such a happy and cheerful child.” “We’ve seen it work and we’ve seen the fruits of that sacrifice,” Weinstein said. “Rosy pictures don’t happen every day, but I do think whether a child is reunified or adopted, there’s a happy ending for that child.” The couple picked up their third foster child, a 2-day-old boy, at the end of September 2015.
FROM MILLER, A1 a special education teacher at La Costa Canyon High School. “We have a group of parents who are very interested in seeing improvement in special education and I think he’s the person to lead that,” said SDUHSD Associate Superintendent of Business Services Eric Dill, who takes over as the district’s interim superintendent on July 1 when Schmitt leaves. Salazar’s objection was not to Miller himself but to the timing of the hire, since Superintendent Schmitt will be leaving and a new superintendent might want to hire his own cabinet or might not even see the need for the position, which was added last June. “Why are we doing this now when we’re on the fast-track to hire a superintendent?”
“He’s been happy and healthy,” Weinstein said as she was holding her foster son. “He’s starting to crawl and everything.” Since David has transitioned out of the military, the Weinstein family decided to stay in Solana Beach, where the girls can continue to attend Santa Fe Christian Schools and the family can continue to support Angels Foster Family Network. Currently, there are about 3,500 children in the San Diego County foster care system, nearly 1,400 of whom are younger than 5 years old. Angels Foster Family Network has provided foster homes to nearly 800 children, newborn to 5 years old, since the organization was founded in 1998. “I feel very passionate about the Angels model and how it works,” Weinstein said. “I can invest in one child at a time — or a sibling set — and one family at a time. “Is it slower? I’m not changing the world or anything, but we’re doing for one what we’d like to do for a million.” About 70 percent of the children are reunified with one or both of their parents or a relative. About 30 percent are adopted. Of those adopted, about 50 percent of the children placed have been adopted by their Angels families. The San Diego-based nonprofit organization has long been known for the hands-on support it provides its foster families, which is one of the reasons it has a high retention rate. Although some families stop fostering after they adopt or move, Angels Foster Family Network has been able to retain 85 percent of its foster parents over the past couple of years. “I’ve seen how it can really change lives,” said Weinstein, whose clinical case manager visits weekly. “I feel really, really strongly that more families could do this, and I feel like Angels is changing the face of foster care.” Although Weinstein’s parents adopted her as an infant in a closed adoption, she was under the care of others for the first two months of her life. Knowing that played a part in Weinstein becoming a foster parent. “Somebody else cared for me until the adoption was finalized,” Weinstein said. “I always thought somehow it would come full circle. “I’m so grateful that we found Angels because instead of adopting just one child, I’m touching more families. We are able to do this over and over again because of Angels.” For more about Angels Foster Family Network, visit angelsfoster.org.
ormally when I read something that stirs up so much emotion in me, I can sit down and bang out an article in no time flat. For some reason, it’s taken me a few days of watching the stories and listening, in absolute disbelief, to gather my thoughts on this one. I realized that it’s because I’m as mad at the father and the judge, as I am at Brock Turner. When I first heard the story about Brock Turner and what he did to that woman behind a dumpster, of course I was sick to my stomach. The minute I read the story I knew that her life would never be the same. Her entire sense of security was ripped away from her in one single act. In her own words, “I read and learned for the first time about how I was found unconscious, with my hair disheveled, long necklace wrapped around my neck, bra pulled out of my dress, dress pulled off over my shoulders and pulled up above my waist, that I was butt naked all the way down to my boots, legs spread apart, and had been penetrated by a foreign object by someone I did not recognize”. I want to send Brock to an island of misfit people that are unfixable, because anyone who would do such cruel acts towards another person is unfixable. I’ve asked myself so many questions about how he was raised. Did this happen because he was incredibly spoiled and got everything he wanted? Does he believe he’s better than everyone else? How does one become such a monster, and have no respect for women? Is this nature vs. nurture? The letter Brock’s father wrote to the judge gives us a clue. His lack of empathy for the victim (And I hate to use that word, but I can’t honestly think of anything better) is impossible to comprehend yet says so much. Here’s a very condensed version of what he said that set me off the deep end: “As it stands now, Brock’s life has been deeply altered... Brock always enjoyed certain types of food...now he barely consumes any food and eats only to exist... He will never be his happy go lucky self with that easy going personality and welcoming
smile... This is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.” 20 minutes of action? I think this line in particular will haunt me the most. His dad is worried that Brock will no longer enjoy a nice juicy rib-eye steak. Why didn’t he stand up and voice how badly he felt about what his son did, and that while he still loves his son, he recognizes that Brock needs to be punished and he needs help because he is a very sick kid who committed a horrific crime? Why did he blame alcohol and refuse to let his son accept responsibility? And where is his mother? As the mother of a son, I’m trying to imagine how it’s possible that she hasn’t stood up and said something to the victim expressing sincere empathy and letting this girl know that her son will stand up and accept responsibility for his actions. Is this mother as horrified by her son’s actions as the rest of the country? Does she realize that her husband’s words were like a knife in an already open wound? Is she questioning her parenting and wondering where it all went wrong? Does she have advice to moms raising sons about what “not” to do? Is she making excuses and blaming it on a night of drinking like her husband? Let’s talk about Judge Persky. This is a person who could have made a real impact in this case, by sentencing Brock to a minimum of 14 years in prison. But instead, he failed us too. He is just as guilty as Brock Turner for allowing this rape culture to continue. “A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him, I think he will not be a danger to others.” With all due respect, what the hell are you talking about? Some say this starts in middle school with the music and the video games our boys are exposed to. I don’t have any answers but I know this much: What Brock Turner, his father, and the Judge perpetrated on this woman is not only reprehensible and unjust, but sends a clear message to our girls that they are of no value in society. Shameful. What say you? Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.
Salazar asked. Salazar also opposed giving Miller a four-year contract, rather than a one-year contract or interim status. Schmitt said, as he noted last year when SDUHSD established the associate superintendent of administrative services position, the position change was part of the reorganization of the educational services department and became necessary as the district’s work quadrupled because of the “unprecedented scope and scale” of new education standards. The position provides leadership in areas such as enrollment, special education, program shifts, bell schedules, athletics, summer programs, technology plans and the Local Control Accountability Plan and other state programs. Muir and Salazar also voted against the
establishment of the superintendent of administrative services position last year. Schmitt said there were discussions about filling the position after Viloria’s departure and he wouldn’t have made the recommendation if they hadn’t found someone as “talented and accomplished” as Miller to step into the role. “Any superintendent would’ve taken him, we were really lucky he had an interest in us. Mark is going to be a fit on anybody’s team…he’s incredible,” Schmitt said. “(His work) is important, the community expects it and we need the work done immediately, I didn’t want to wait.” As far as the four-year contract, Schmitt said all of SDUHSD’s associate superintendents have those contract terms and they thought Miller deserve the same treatment as his colleagues.
In voting against the hire, Muir’s reasoning was a lack of parent input. “Parents have said special education is not getting the attention it needs,” Muir said, noting that at recent meetings, such as the superintendent search forums, parents said they wanted to collaborate more with the district. “If this is so important the parents should have been involved.” Schmitt said while it’s unlikely that parents would sit in on executive session interviews, they have been engaged with the district in multiple ways, including the district’s development of its Local Control Accountability Plan. “One of the things we liked about Mr. Miller is that is what he does; his specialty is engaging the special education community,” Schmitt said. “He will do that and hit the ground running.”

Deputies investigating DUI-related serious injury collision in Solana Beach Deputies from the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station are investigating a serious injury collision that is Driving Under the Influence (DUI) related. On June 18, 2016, at about 6:45 p.m., a 2016 Honda Civic, being driven by a 24-year-old female resident of Carlsbad, was traveling northbound on Camino del Mar. The vehicle went off the roadway at the four-way intersection of North Highway 101 and Via de la Valle, in the city of Solana Beach, and onto the sidewalk. The vehicle struck an 11-year-old boy and a 39-year-old man, who were on their bicycles with a group of family and friends at the time of the collision. The suspect continued driving and was followed by a witness to where she stopped at South Sierra Avenue and
Linda Mar Drive, in the city of Solana Beach. Deputies contacted the suspect and ultimately arrested her for felony DUI and hit and run. She was transported to the Vista Detention Facility, where she was booked into jail. The boy was transported via ambulance to Rady Children’s Hospital with injuries to his leg. The man was taken to Scripps La Jolla Hospital with serious head injuries. The collision is being investigated by the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station Traffic Division. Call Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477 with information and callers will remain anonymous. Callers may be eligible for up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to a felony arrest. - Submitted press release

German Shepherd Club starts monthly workshops June 25 The German Shepherd Dog Club of San Diego County will host monthly Socialization and Obedience Workshops with trainer Dale Proctor starting Saturday, June 25, at the San Dieguito County Park in Del Mar. The workshops are designed to introduce owners to and familiarize them with one of the smartest breed of dogs. In addition to the lecture and working class time, participants will have a chance to meet other German Shepherd owners and club members in a relaxed environment while improving socialization/obedience skills and knowledge.
Students of all levels are welcome from first-time owners to advanced. The session includes techniques to correct issues, such as pulling on the leash and uncontrolled barking. This is a confidence-building training session for dog and handler. In the Socialization Class, which starts at 1:30 p.m., owners will learn how to socialize their dogs as well as how to set boundaries and be the pack leader. The Beginner’s Obedience Class is the second half of the training session and starts at 2:30 p.m. Here, socialized dogs and their owners will learn advanced communication and
FROM WATER, A1 amount of water allowed for each customer, for the first time in its 93-year history. Districts faced fines of $10,000 per day for failing to meet their reduction targets. Water officials in San Diego County and their customers objected to what they called a “one size fits all” approach taken by the state, arguing that regions such as San Diego County should not face Draconian cuts because their water supplies were ample due to measures such as increased water storage, conservation efforts and new sources of supply including a new seawater desalination plant in Carlsbad. While some urged Santa Fe and other local districts to fight the state and even mount a legal challenge to the mandatory cutbacks, local officials instead attempted to comply with the orders while continuing to press their case that individual water agencies should determine what cutbacks are needed. “We were in a crisis mode created by the state,” said Bardin in an interview after Thursday’s board meeting. Ultimately, he said, state officials heeded the arguments of local water agencies and agreed to let them set their own conservation targets. For Santa Fe, that means water-use restrictions, for now, are over. “Our conservation goal is zero now,” he said. Bardin said the district’s decision to move to “Level 1” voluntary conservation measures does not mean the state’s water woes are over. The drought is now in its fifth year, he said, and supplies from the Colorado River are down. “We want people to focus on a long-term commitment to water-use efficiency,” he said,

and recommended that residents water no more than three days per week. State restrictions also still apply, such as no washing driveways with potable, or drinking, water; runoff from sprinklers is prohibited; shut-off nozzles must be used when washing cars; and irrigating outdoors during and within 48 hours of measurable rainfall is prohibited. The full list of recommended conservation measures and state restrictions can be found on the district’s web site at http://www.sfidwater.org/index.aspx? page=230. Since the mandatory restrictions were imposed last summer, district customers have cut their use by an average of 31 percent, said district officials. Bardin said demand may go up by about 12 percent now that the restrictions have been lifted, but he doesn’t expect usage to go back to where it was before the restrictions were imposed. For one thing, he said, some customers have removed turf and other thirsty plants in favor of drought-tolerant landscaping. At Thursday’s meeting, the board also approved the district’s budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. The fiscal plan includes total expenses of $35.7 million, a 5.6 percent increase from this year’s budget. The budget includes operating cost and capital improvements, as well as other expenses. Revenue is projected at $28.4 million, and the gap will be made up from reserves. The board approved the budget on a 3-2 vote, with directors Greg Gruzdowich and Marlene King opposed. “We’re spending more money as we’re projecting our reserves to go down,” Gruzdowich said. “We’re spending money we don’t have.”

FROM SDUHSD, A1 students who are struggling socially and emotionally — he said overall staff is very excited. “This was an identified need,” Viloria said. “We only have so much supplemental dollars to spend so this was the area that it was determined to be the best moving forward.” SDUHSD board member Mo Muir has long advocated for more counselors at the school sites. The district has added more counselors over the last three years, improving the ratio from 550:1 to 445:1 but Muir believes that ratio is still too many. “I’m just afraid kids will fall through the cracks because there are so many kids in need,” Muir said. According to Schmitt, if the board approves the new social worker job description at the next board meeting, the district’s ratio will reduce further, by approximately 30 students per high school counselor. According to the most recent California Department of Education data, the average ratio of students per counselor in California is 945:1. SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said she thinks the addition of social workers is a “fantastic start”— she said the district has to start somewhere, see how many children are in need and work from there. Other goals outlined in the LCAP include improving student achievement through
FROM COUPLED, A5 participants through the San Dieguito River Valley in the San Dieguito Watershed. The watershed begins on the slopes of Volcan Mountain and merges with the waters of the Pacific Ocean at the San Dieguito Lagoon. “Rob and Vicki are great supporters of the park and we’re friends,” said Trish Boaz, executive director of San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to sustaining the natural resources of the San Dieguito Watershed. “The conservancy is a fun group that really cares about the San Dieguito River Park and the entire watershed. They say, ‘Birds of a feather flock together.’ You have that with the conservancy.” Held monthly from September through May, the seminar series covers a variety of topics, including an overview of the River Park; mammals and tracking; water resources, geology and chaparral; bIrds of Bernardo Bay; Piedras Pintadas botany; Native Americans and lagoon restoration. A graduation luncheon is served at the San Dieguito Lagoon at the end of the program. “The program is amazing,” Weisgrau said.
support and intervention and ensuring all graduates are college and career ready. At the June 30 board meeting, the board will also approve the 2016-17 budget, a projected $129 million in revenue and $136 million in expenditures, a deficit of $6.7 million. The budget meets the board’s recommended 4.5 percent level of reserve funds, with an end balance of $13 million. SDUHSD Associate Superintendent of Business Services Eric Dill said the district has a pattern of adopting a budget with deficits and in many cases ending the year with a surplus. “We have low revenue and high expenditures but over the next course of the year we will work to bring those two sides together. We have a long history of doing just that,” Dill said. “We’re committed to stability and sustainability over time and we’re always taking a multi-year look at all of the factors that go into the budget.” The budget reflects an increase in revenue due to an estimated 5 percent growth in property tax revenues and an increase in the state’s LCFF funding. Expenditures are up overall due to items like the 5.5 percent salary increases, additional staffing at Pacific Trails Middle School due to next year’s addition of eighth grade and additional campus supervisors, a suggestion made by the board during its budget workshop. “You learn so much.” More than 175 people have graduated from the program. Many have gone on to participate in alumni hikes and share other educational experiences. While exploring the outdoors and learning about the San Dieguito Watershed, Weisgrau and Monaco said the program is also a perfect way to meet new people — and their relationship is proof. “I found it very easy to talk to Vicki on the trail out in nature,” Weisgrau said. “Do the things you do anyway, and see who else is there doing those same things,” he added. “You automatically have something in common.” Monaco agreed. “It was just a really nice setting,” she said. “It’s a great way to meet somebody.” The 2016-17 Exploring Our Sense of Place program is open for registration. The program is limited to 25 participants. The application fee is $250 per person or $450 per couple.

The Bacon Brothers to perform at San Diego County Fair BY ROB LEDONNE Throughout the 1980s and ‘90s, Kevin Bacon was one of the biggest stars in the word. An actor and dancer, Bacon starred in such monster hits as “Footloose” (his infamous 1984 breakout role that centers on a town that bans dancing), “A Few Good Men” (the legal drama alongside Tom Cruise) and “Apollo 13” (the Ron Howard-directed space epic with Tom Hanks). In addition to his acting prowess, Bacon has been steadily releasing music under the moniker of The Bacon Brothers, a duo he’s in with his brother Michael. Since releasing their first album in 1997, the duo has been consistently touring and spreading their country folk sound for the past 19 years. “It feels like a long time,” says brother Michael while on a brief respite in the middle of their current tour. “I mostly focus on how much we improve.” Adds Kevin, “I can’t believe it’s been that long. I mostly can’t believe we have done seven records and very few covers. Proud of that.” Even before coming out with their first album, Kevin and Michael were performing together for years before that, starting as kids growing up in Philadelphia, Penn. While Kevin went off to pursue acting (one of his first roles was in the comedy classic “Animal House”), Michael focused on music and soon composed the scores for countless television series, mostly on public TV. Regarding the long-term commitment to their respective crafts, Michael noted, “I think both of us were taught at an early age
Kevin and Michael Bacon of The Bacon Brothers. that if you’re good at something you need to have a way of expressing that.” Despite releasing seven studio albums, it miraculously never slowed down Kevin’s film and television career. The actor is so

prolific he’s known for being the inspiration behind the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” a party game where you have to trace any actor back to Kevin in six roles or less. (Bacon later capitalized on this
by founding the website SixDegrees.org, which links charities with potential donors.) In addition, the Brothers are also spokespeople for the American Egg Board, the company behind the Incredible Edible Egg campaign. (Tagline: “Wake up to eggs with the Bacon Brothers.”) The duo is also constantly touring, something that they have a love-hate relationship with after the past two decades of life on the road. “We can succeed as a band in any type of venue,” says Michael. “Mechanical bulls, opera houses, casinos -bring ‘em on!” On the other hand, while Kevin still enjoys performing he points out, “I’ve lost my taste for traveling.” Come June 26 at 8 p.m., the duo hits Del Mar to tackle San Diego’s County Fair with their entertaining live show that ranges the musical gamut and features tracks from their latest album, 2014’s 36 Cents. In addition, they are also set to preview the brand new upcoming song “Driver.” “Live shows are more akin to theater,” notes Kevin on how performing music on stage relates to acting. “There’s no take two at a live show, while being in the studio is a lot like doing a movie.” Adds Michael of the experience, “I love seeing different parts of the country and love playing for receptive audiences. We have a great crew and band. They make it easy.” For more information, visit www.baconbros.com and www.sdfair.com.

A winning recipe for healthy relationships with food Jimbo’s co-owner Colleen Duffy-Someck writes ‘Dancing in the Kitchen’ cookbook
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING In Colleen Duffy-Someck’s kitchen, every meal is a different dance. In her new cookbook “Dancing in the Kitchen” she writes about a two-step stirring of beans, a twirl for the carrots and following the leads of hunger and fullness in her own healthy relationship with food. The co-owner of the “Jimbo’s…Naturally” grocery chain wrote the part cookbook, part self-help memoir to show people the steps in creating healthy, delicious food and to help inform decisions about how and why we eat our food. “Cooking to feed yourself and those you love is a lovely dance, a dance that is definitely worth learning,” said Duffy-Someck, who lives in Carmel Valley. “It is my honor to share my story and recipes with you in hopes that they may show you a new way of dancing in the kitchen.” Duffy-Someck has always had a passion for food and making healthy food taste good. When she moved to California from Minnesota, Duffy-Someck worked at a macrobiotic restaurant just down the street from Jimbo’s’ first store on 30th and University. Eventually she found her way into working at Jimbo’s behind the deli counter, making her specialty spins on nori rolls and Maple Nut Crunch Granola – both store favorites whose recipes are included in the book. She also met her future husband and owner of Jimbo’s, Jim “Jimbo” Someck. The two eventually began dating, on the one-year-anniversary of the store in 1985. After marrying in 1988, the chain and their family continued to grow: They celebrated the openings of the Carmel Valley, Escondido and Carlsbad stores, as well as children Michael, Josh, Noah and Sara. New Jimbo’s have been added in 4S-Ranch and Horton
Plaza and there are plans to expand into a bigger store at Del Mar Highlands Town Center. A lot of the recipe development for the items in the cookbook came from making all of her family’s food from scratch. For years she doled out recipes here and there for friends but didn’t think seriously about publishing a cookbook until she started working on the book four years ago.
As she started typing, the stories just started to flow out and she surprised herself by sharing the story of her 20-year battle with bulimia and anorexia. “I never thought I would share that story,” Duffy-Someck said. “I must’ve just needed to do that.” Her eating disorder began after she moved away from home to go to college and it grew out of severely limiting herself as to what she could and couldn’t eat. She would lose it when she ate something that she wasn’t “supposed” to. While she lightly touches on her struggles with an eating disorder in the book, it mostly deals with her recovery and help for others to do the same. She writes about quality not quantity, finding a balance and being mindful. “If you want to eat something not so healthy, sit with it consciously, eat until you’re satisfied, always stay connected,” said Duffy-Someck, who doesn’t hesitate to have a croissant with her coffee, savoring every bite and eating until she’s satisfied. She listens to her body and pays attention to what her body wants and needs. “Tea really helped me. Drinking tea was a time to sit and be quiet, take a breath.” While the recipes in “Dancing in the Kitchen” are all vegan, she said the book is for all diets. “My book is not written to tell people how to eat,” she said, noting she encourages people to make the dishes their own by adding meat, cheese or butter to their banana pancakes. “That’s your dance with your food.” For her vegan-tailored recipes, she always offers an alternative — while her recipe may list agar flakes, simple gelatin will do. She admits there will be some variations depending on the types of products used — not all maple syrups or almond butters are the same and consistencies will differ, it’s all a matter of experimenting. Even salt can taste different and veggies can vary depending on the season. “Don’t think you’ve failed,” she advised. SEE FOOD, B14

Folktales told in ‘The Last Tiger in Haiti’at Playhouse BY DIANA SAENGER “A beautiful example of storytelling” is how La Jolla Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley classifies ‘‘The Last Tiger in Haiti,’’ running June 28-July 24 in the Mandell Weiss Forum Theatre on the UC San Diego campus. Written by Jeff Augustin (“That High Lonesome Sound”) and directed by Joshua Kahan Brody (“The Nightingale” and “The Who & The What”), the world premiere is a co-production with Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Brody said he felt an immediate attachment to the script when his friend and schoolmate Augustin – influenced by his Haitian heritage – asked him to direct it. “The Last Tiger in Haiti”begins on the last night of Kanaval, a celebration held over several weeks each year that leads up to Mardi Gras, where five children become “restaveks” – child slaves indentured in servitude. “I love this play because it’s highly theatrical without being a spectacle,” Brody said. “I enjoy the storytelling elements, and this is an important issue. I didn’t know there were child slaves still in Haiti.” As the story unfolds, the Haiti children (played by adults) are given to slightly better-off families, who then (in theory), are supposed to provide a better education for them. But instead, these families make them work hard and some are sexually abused until they are 18 years old, when they are set free. “As part of the tradition the kids tell stories,” Brody said. “When a storyteller wants to tell a story he will say ‘krik.’ Someone who wants to hear the story will say ‘krak.’ It’s kind of a competition to see whose story is the best. In ‘The Last Tiger in Haiti,’ a series of things change and lives are drastically altered by betrayals and a battle of wills. It’s all about a means to survive.” The cast features Brittany Bellizeare as
COURTESY
Poster for the Play “Rose,” Clinton Roane as “Emmanuel,” Andy Lucien (DNA New Work Series) as “Max,” Jasmine St. Clair (“Sideways”) as “Laurie” and Reggie D. White as “Joseph.” The creative team includes scenic designer Takeshi Kata, costume designer Dede Ayite, lighting by Alexander Nichols, sound designer Nick Drashner, dramaturg Gabriel Greene and stage manager Matthew Melchiorre. Brody said he feels a real passion for the play and its message, which goes beyond Augustin’s proficiency with subtext, language and imagery. “It’s a story about healing, love, and why and how we’re able to love people who have done us wrong and abused and betrayed us,” Brody said. “So it’s also about forgiveness and who has the right to tell that story, which right now, I think is a very important question.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Last Tiger in Haiti,” runs June 28-July 24 in the Mandell Weiss Forum Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus.

Lux to bring five international artists for 10th season Two of the residents will use materials and ideas from the local area BY CHRIS SAUR o celebrate its 10th anniversary season beginning in September, Lux Art Institute in Encinitas has announced the five resident artists who will come to Encinitas from all over the globe, but also, in some cases, connect their art to the local area. Each of the five — Camilo Restrepo (from Colombia), Xawery Wolski (Poland), Siro (Italy), Vibha Galhorta (India) and Jorge Pardo (Cuba) — will be living and working at Lux, as part of the institute’s residency program. Having the artists not only show their work, but also create at least one piece during their stay, provides a special opportunity for visitors who can actually see the art happen. Current Lux resident artist Angela Kallus, who lives in Fort Worth, Texas, told the Encinitas Advocate that the program is a unique experience. “For one thing, I don’t work in such a beautiful place at home, it is a mess at my study,” Kallus said with a laugh while she worked on her resident piece. “(Doing the work in front of people) is a new thing for me. It’s actually kind of weird to do this thing that I usually do alone, in a public place. I don’t mind it though.” She added that the nice residence and the beautiful setting were conducive to making great art. Kallus’ pieces, which she has been making for 17 years, involve using a pastry decorating bag to create flowers out of different colors of paint. When the flowers harden, she connects them to a flat surface to form sort of a three-dimensional painting. Kallus will be working on her newest piece at Lux Art Institute until July 9. That work, along with some of her other pieces which are on display now, will be at Lux through July 30. A few months later, Restrepo will come to Lux from Colombia to kick off next year’s season. After Restrepo, Wolski, a sculptor, comes to live and work at the institute, where he plans to use local clay to create one of his masterpieces. Following Siro’s residency, Galhorta is at Lux to create one of her large-scale sculptures out of ghungaroos-metal ankle bells, a part of traditional India dress. An artist who explores local and global issues with her work, Galhorta will study North County coastal water systems and the sculpture she creates while at the

Camilo Restrepo’s "Bowling for Medellín #3" (2014, ink, water-soluble wax pastel, tape, newspaper, glue, stickers and saliva on paper, 83" x 244") institute, will reflect that research. For more information, visit www.luxartinstitute.org. Here’s a brief guide to each of next season’s five Lux Art Institute residents: Camilo Restrepo (Colombia) In Lux’s words: “Punctuated by bright colors and cartoonish characters, Camilo Restrepo’s works represent internal and external dialogues: one relating to the psyche and a desire for perfection, the other reflecting the horrors in drug-laden Colombia.” In studio: Sept. 10-Oct. 20. On exhibit: Through Oct. 29. Xawery Wolski (Poland) In Lux’s words: “Aspects of clothing — particularly the dress — subsume Xawery Wolski’s artistic practice. Wolski views the dress as a second skin used to cover, protect, defend and adorn. His process involves constructing individual beads from clay and stringing them together to create a larger sculpture. He also has a proclivity for travel, and each work is created from the clay of specific countries. Currently, the U.S. is missing from this link, but his residency piece will fill this gap and bind the U.S. to his oeuvre.” In studio: Nov. 12-Dec. 17. On exhibit: Through Jan. 7. Siro (Italy) In Lux’s words: “Siro’s paintings derive from his dreams, subconscious and fleeting thoughts, as well as abstract ideas unearthed from old journals. His

On exhibit: Through March 18. Vibha Galhorta (India) In Lux’s words: “Vibha Galhorta’s large-scale sculptures confront the changing topography of the world to highlight the impact of globalization and
growth on specific communities and regions. Using ghungaroos — metal ankle bells that are a feminine symbol within Indian culture — Galhorta creates works describing the ecological issues plaguing India and its water supply. In studio: April 1-April 29. On exhibit: Through May 27. Jorge Pardo (Cuba) In Lux’s words: “Jorge Pardo’s
visually alluring work examines the crossing of contemporary painting, design, sculpture and architecture. Using a broad palette of colors, patterns, and a mix of organic and industrial materials, Pardo’s works range from murals to home furnishings to collages, buildings, pools and gardens.” In studio: June 12-June 17, 2017. On exhibit: Through Aug. 5, 2017.

Spring Cleaning Maintenance Tips for Your Vehicle: Prepare Your Car for El Niño As spring approaches, you need to look over your vehicle to determine any maintenance that needs to be performed before hitting the open road. Winter weather, even in a sunny place like San Diego, can wreak havoc on your vehicle. It’s a good reminder to take a look at the inner workings of your car and make sure there aren’t any maintenance problems
that have emerged over the last couple of months. The battery, tires, suspension, brakes and severe weather can all have an influence on your vehicle’s performance. Read on and implement the following tips to protect your vehicle this spring. Headlamps and Running Lights Ensure that your lights are always working so you can turn on the headlamps ASAP in the event of heavy rain. Check Your Tires Any type of cold weather can influence your tire pressure, so make sure that everything is properly balanced and inflated. Low tire pressure and worn out treads can cause unnecessary problems on the road, so checking your tire pressure and your treads regularly should become a habit not just in springtime but year-round.
Plugs, Wires and Batteries All of these elements have an important role in your vehicle, and they can be put under stress during the winter months. If you replace old (three years or more) and weak batteries now, you could save yourself money down the road, especially if you have to get towed. Brakes It’s always a good idea to check your brake system at least once a year. Take a look at your brake fluid, lines, hoses, and parking brake to ensure that they are all at the proper levels. You can ask your mechanic to take a look at any wear and tear during your oil change, too. Fluid Levels There are many things to check with regard to your fluid levels, but you should
not ignore any of them. Look at brake fluid, anti-freeze transmission fluid, engine oil and even your windshield washer fluid. Air Filters When you are getting your brakes, transmission fluid or oil changed, make sure that your engine air filter is up to date and clean. Wheel Alignment and Suspension Any time you hit a major pothole, this can do significant damage to your struts and shocks. Making sure that you schedule an inspection to deal with leaks or serious wear can alleviate bigger issues down the road. Belts and Hoses Look for cracked or worn belts as well as any hoses that are too soft, brittle or blistered. Anything older than five years may need to be replaced.

The book includes recipes for grains like mullet and quinoa, salads and soups. “My kids weren’t big on salads so soups were a way to get them a lot of veggies,” Duffy-Someck said of recipes for pinto bean and miso soup. Her book includes a recipe for clear broth, which she likes to call “liquid gold”— she uses it for making rice, preparing soup or as an alternative for tea. Duffy-Someck is also a big advocate for beans — on any given day you can open her fridge to find cooked beans. While busy lives can make it difficult to make meals at home from scratch — prepping beans ahead of time will ensure you have some on hand to toss on salads, make into hummus or use in a soup throughout the week. The Mexican Lasagna is something that everyone seems to like, using beans and corn tortillas and sauce all layered in. Duffy-Someck likes to add an egg to the top, she puts cheese on one-half so Jimbo can have his vegan half and her kids add slices of avocado and salsa. Some of the more unique items in the cookbook are her desserts — such as her pumpkin pie filling with fresh-cooked pumpkin and almond butter and the almond crème topping (in place of whipped cream)

for people who don’t have dairy. Grandma Duffy’s Cookies are made without Crisco, white flour or white sugar. The book also includes instruction on making your own nut milks — encouraging people think beyond almond and try for cashews or macadamia nut milk that can be used in recipes for pancakes, pies, muffins and cakes. While the cover was shot professionally, Duffy-Someck’s 13-year-old daughter Sara did all the photography for the book during a “cooking marathon” earlier this year. More than anything, Duffy-Someck hopes that readers will come away armed with tips and tricks to build their own healthy relationship with food. “If my suggestions don’t work for you, don’t quit until you find out what works for you, because we are all worth it. Don’t let anything stop you from feeding yourself well,” she said. “There are a lot of ways to do things. This is one way, take what you want and leave what you don’t. Choosing to not be afraid and make mistakes is how I was able to fly and I’d love for everybody to be able to do that.” “Dancing in the Kitchen” is available at all Jimbo’s locations, Good on Ya Deli in Encinitas, The Curious Fork in Solana Beach, Anjali Lifestyle Spa in Carmel Valley and online at www.DancingintheKitchen.io and Amazon.com.

San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has bought an eight-acre lot in a gated Rancho Santa Fe community for $4.7 million. (Realtor.com | Inset: Los Angeles Times)
Chargers quarterback completes a pass for eight acres in RSF BY NEAL J. LEITEREG An uncertain future isn’t getting in the way of Philip Rivers’ off-field plans. The San Diego Chargers’ starting quarterback recently purchased an eight-acre plot in Rancho Santa Fe for $4.7 million. The seller was Stanley Westreich, founder of Westfield Realty Inc. Found within Rancho del Lago, a gated community of about 40 large-lot estates, the gradually sloping site takes in views extending from the surrounding mountains to La Jolla, as well as a nearby reservoir. The previous owner had commissioned Encinitas-based architect Don Edson to design plans for a 27,000-square-foot residence for the site, according to the listing details. Westreich, through a limited liability company, bought the property in 2007 for $9.6 million, records show. On and off the market for the past six years, the lot first listed for sale in 2010 for
$10 million. More recently, it was priced at $5.75 million. Jason Barry of Barry Estates was the listing agent. Shaun Worthen of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices represented the buyer in the sale, which closed last month. Rivers, 34, was “fired up” after chairman Dean Spanos announced in January that the San Diego franchise will remain in San Diego for at least the 2016 season. The Chargers have an option to join the Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood next year but remain committed to finding a solution in the city they have called home since 1960. A five-time Pro Bowler, Rivers completed a career-high 437 passes for San Diego in 2015, finishing the season with 4,792 yards and 29 touchdowns through the air. Last year, he agreed to a four-year extension with $65 million guaranteed that will keep him with the team through 2019. He owns other property in San Diego County.
