BY JOE TASH A plan to build a fiber optic network to bring high-speed internet service to Rancho Santa Fe is moving forward, with Rancho Santa Fe Association officials looking toward August to hold a community-wide vote on the issue. At its meeting on Thursday, July 6, the RSF Association board voted unanimously to appoint three members – board President Fred Wasserman, Director Rick Sapp and Treasurer Janet Danola – to a subcommittee to prepare ballot and educational materials for the community, working with Association staff. Sapp, who also co-chairs the Association’s technology committee, which is heading up the project, said July 6 that progress is continuing on a number of fronts. The committee has reached a conclusion on an internet
service provider for the project, but the choice won’t be revealed until negotiations with the provider are completed, Sapp said. The technology committee is also working on refining cost estimates for the project, and working with the County of San Diego to gain permission to use county roads and right-of-way for underground fiber optic cable. The plan is to bury some 60 miles of fiber optic cable throughout the Rancho Santa Fe community as a backbone for the new internet service, and individual homeowners will have the option of connecting to the network and paying for the service. “Those (talks) are progressing,” Sapp said of the discussions with county officials. “There’s a lot of detail. It takes time to get all the boxes checked.” SEE INTERNET, A23

Rancho Santa Fe Review
BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board approved the renewal of a policy July 6 on continued enrollment of children whose parents are temporarily not residing in the district. The policy was adopted by the board in 2008 to address a very limited exception to the rule set forth by the California Legislature that only parents or legal guardians who actually reside in the district may enroll their children in the district. The policy provides a limited exception during the period when the parent or guardian will be temporarily residing outside the district due to SEE POLICY, A22

Brothers in recovery Two Torrey Pines graduates overcome addictions, open Immersive Recovery rehab center for men BY KAREN BILLING fter battling the disease of addiction for many years, Torrey Pines High School graduates and brothers Michael and Rob Weir have turned their lives around and are now committed to helping others do the same. Along with partner Wesley Heim, the brothers recently opened Immersive Recovery, a drug and alcohol treatment center for men in San Marcos. “Obviously we put our parents through hell,” Michael said of their struggles with addiction that began as teenagers. “Our parents are incredibly happy that we are making an impact on other people’s lives. When we decided to get clean, it made a huge impact on our family dynamic, we are more bonded and cohesive than we have ever been.” “When we get a guy come to us with nothing and we get to see him get clean and start to work and engage with life, rebuild relationships and move forward in a positive way, that’s really rewarding,” Rob said. The brothers have been working in the recovery field since 2013, when Michael and Heim established a community of structured sober living homes throughout San Diego County called First Step. With Immersive Recovery, they have crafted a high level of care that specializes in “meeting clients where they are.” The individualized care is

designed to address and effectively treat the disease of addiction while simultaneously establishing a lifestyle of recovery. Immersive Recovery offers individual, group and family sessions, solution-focused therapy, behavioral therapy, exposure-based outings and activities, life skills training and after care, such as sober living placement and career counseling. The Weir brothers are nationally-certified recovery coaches and their staff includes clinical and medical directors, physicians and outside counselors to guide clients through the individual therapy process. The men are reaching a demographic they once fit into — guys with a combination of failure to launch syndrome and chemical dependency. The Weirs said they are proof that drug and alcohol addiction is a non-discriminatory disease. “Just because you live in an affluent area doesn’t mean you’re exempt from suffering from addiction,” Rob said, noting that, sadly, between them they have lost several friends from Torrey Pines High School to drug overdoses. “There’s an epidemic right now,” Michael said. “Opioid abuse is killing more people than ever and it’s really important we have a strong, quality programs to address the underlying issues.” The brothers said they began drinking and experimenting with drugs in an effort to be
Michael and Rob Weir of Immersive Recovery a part of the “party scene” at Torrey Pines. “I felt like a normal Torrey Pines kid. It’s just what everyone was doing,” said Rob, who graduated in 2004. Michael said he started with alcohol but was doing cocaine by the time he was a sophomore. “It was the social norm. It was nothing to wake up on a Saturday morning with a hangover,” Michael said. Soon their partying extended into the week days. All of that experimenting and trying to be part of the “in crowd” created bad habits of habitual drug and alcohol abuse for Rob. By the time he landed at University of Colorado at Boulder, he was in a downward spiral that led him to abuse Xanax, OxyContin and opiates. Michael, 30, graduated from Torrey Pines

in 2005 and also got deep into opiate abuse. He attended Mira Costa College briefly, but his drinking and drug use soon became his full-time job. “My addiction was so strong I needed to use every day to not get sick,” Mike said. “It becomes entirely possessive and that’s where the issue lies. With addiction, there is nothing else in life but that. It’s rough.” In time, they found their own bottoms. Rob got sober at 25 and Michael at age 26. Their experiences in clinical treatment facilities and programs helped inform what Immersive Recovery needed to be. “We need to be getting guys engaged with their passions, hobbies and interests to give them reasons to stay sober,” Rob said “By creating small, measurable successes, it SEE RECOVERY, A22

Courtland Reed graduates from U.S. Demetri Brizolis delivers UCLA Army’s Combat Engineers training Mathematics Department Congratulations and thanks are in order to Private Courtland G. Reed, who graduated from the United States Army’s Combat Engineers training at Ft. Leonard Wood on June 23. The son of Dr. John C. Reed and Muffy Walker, Private Reed is a longtime resident of RSF. After graduating from Brehm Preparatory Academy, he joined his parents to live overseas where he worked in the IT department of Roche Pharmaceuticals. Homesick for America, Reed returned to California to pursue his passion of serving in the military. Military service in the family includes two grandfathers in the Navy, a great grandfather in the Army, and two cousins in the Army National Guard. Reed ultimately chose the Army and, in particular, Bravo 35, Combat Engineers. Combat Engineers facilitate movement and support of friendly forces while impeding those of the enemy. They clear minefields, build, repair and

Private Reed is currently stationed in El Paso, Texas, at Fort Bliss with the 16th Engineer Battalion, Striker Unit.
Demetri Brizolis, a longtime resident of Rancho Santa Fe, addressed the UCLA Department of Mathematics graduating class of 2017 on Father’s Day, June 18. The department, ranked 7th in the world, graduated over 400 students, including 34 doctoral students, in pure and applied mathematics before an audience of 1,000 that included faculty, family and friends. Brizolis, who received all three of his degrees in mathematics from UCLA, was chosen to address the graduating class for his background that exemplified the relevance and flexibility of a degree in mathematics. He originally pursued the traditional, academic role of a Ph.D. and enjoyed a successful career as an associate professor, conducting research and publishing mathematical papers in the field of number theory.
Demetri Brizolis, Ph.D. Subsequently, he entered the private sector where he applied his problem-solving skills to carve out a second career in real estate and finance. During his address, Brizolis praised the students for their accomplishments, thanked the esteemed faculty for inspiring their students and sharing their wisdom, and gave an insightful, historical account of mathematics for the
benefit of the families of the “newly minted mathematicians.” His address contrasted the limited job opportunities when he graduated to the diverse, dynamic and exciting career opportunities that are available to the graduates of 2017. In closing, he welcomed the graduates to an “elite club, where your entry fee, in the form of years of hard work, has already been paid.” With their “membership” came the responsibility to inspire others and to leave a positive mark for the benefit of humankind. Brizolis is currently a Visiting Associate Professor of Mathematics at UCLA and President of DAABCO Industries, Inc., a privately held investment company. In attendance were his wife, Ann, their son, Alex, a UCLA alumnus, his wife, Merritt, and their 1-year-old son, Theodore.

Wounded warrior climbs mountains to raise funds for prosthetic care BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Off in the back corner of the CrossFit Del Mar gym as he and a dozen others power through a workout — named in memory of an Army sergeant killed in Iraq in 2004 — Kionte Storey pushes himself back and forth through a circuit of exercises — relentlessness bordering on obsession, teetering on the brink of exhausted collapse. He hunches over after a set of heaving a medicine ball 15 feet up the gym’s back wall, takes a fleeting pause, then throws his finely-tuned physique upside down into a set of inverted pushups. He will not let himself stop. This is what keeps the darkness at bay. Seven years ago, when he was a 21-year-old Marine Lance Corporal deployed in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device ripped away the bottom half of his right leg. Physical recovery took a matter of months. Mental and emotional battles are always raging. “Everything that I’m doing today, if I had not remained active I would sink back into that dark depression and that feeling of being lost,” he said after the Friday, July 7 workout. “It’s how I’ve been able to keep moving forward.” So much of Storey’s climb out of that darkness came in the Sorrento Valley gym. When Mark Marek —himself a veteran — and his wife, Esther, opened CrossFit Del Mar in 2011, they welcomed in wounded warriors recovering at Naval Medical Center San Diego in Balboa Park. Storey was one of those who took advantage, using CrossFit to pull himself

Kionte Storey with Esther Marek and Nicole Zapoli, co-owners of CrossFit Del Mar. The gym donated $1,200 for Storey’s quest to raise funds for prosthetics for underprivileged amputees. from the abyss of dread and self-loathing into which he had plummeted. Within two years he was training full-time to qualify for the Paralympics as a sprinter. He faltered that year but did not waver, setting his sights on Rio 2016. After again meeting disappointment, he mounted a bid this spring — perhaps his last — to make it to the World ParaAthletics
Championships in London, but the increasingly fierce competition outraced him to Team USA’s spots. He would not let himself stop. He shifted his focus to the Range of Motion Project (ROMP) — an international nonprofit focused on developing prosthetic technologies in underserved countries — and
embarked on a campaign that will take him at the end of this month to Ecuador, where he and a ROMP team will climb nearly 19,000 feet to the top of the Cayambe volcano. Every $400 he raises will pay for someone’s prosthetic. “I love giving back and I love motivating people, so that became my purpose — and even the reason why I’m still alive today,” he says. “ROMP really resonated with me personally because I believe in giving back, especially when it comes to prosthetic care and hopefully being able to give people their independence back, just like my prosthetic gives me my independence today.” So when Esther Marek and co-owner Nicole Zapoli presented him with a $1,200 donation on Friday, gratitude overcame his characteristic shyness. With that check and another $3,000 he raised last month by conquering the 5-Peak Challenge at Mission Trails Regional Park, he’ll be able to give prosthetics to 10 people — more than twice his original goal. Of course he’s not stopping there. After Ecuador, he’s heading to Tanzania to climb the legendary Mt. Kilimanjaro. And as his 30th birthday approaches fast over the horizon, he’s looking to summit a new challenge: transitioning into school to pursue his dream of becoming a physical therapist. But for now, his focus is on the literal mountain ahead. “There’s nothing I can’t do,” he said. “I’ve proven that to myself already.” Learn more at www.crossfitdelmar.com.

In Copenhagen, the Ravens competed for three days, including an exhibition game against the junior national team from Denmark, who pulled away in the second half after CCA led for most of the first half. In Berlin, playing in one of Germany’s most competitive youth tournaments,
Baum split his players into two teams. The first team, led by rising seniors Aaron Acosta, Sam Crespy and Tyler Elsom, along with 2017 graduates Ryan Michaels and Sawyer Lebert, won their first four games against teams from Germany and Great Britain before losing in the tournament finals 51-50 to Germany’s AB Baskets. Most of the CCA athletes were playing FIBA and international rules for the first time. CCA players and coaches agreed that the trip was an extraordinary opportunity to compete against international teams, represent USA youth basketball, and experience another part of the world.

Hikers, are you up for a challenge? Trek five San Dieguito River Park trails to earn rewards BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Love nature and hiking local trails? Then the inaugural Coast to Crest Trail Challenge is for you. The challenge is to hike five trails in the San Dieguito River Park by June 30, 2018. After submitting a selfie taken at each designated photo spot, participants will receive a reward. An extra prize is offered to the first 50 who complete the challenge posed by the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. “We offered the most interesting hikes with the best views,” said Jess Norton, SDRVC’s conservation manager. The five trails include one in Rancho Bernardo — Bernardo Mountain, which overlooks Lake Hodges. The others are Clevenger Canyon South in San Pasqual, Del Dios Gorge in Rancho Santa Fe, San Dieguito Lagoon in Del Mar and Volcan Mountain in Julian. Details about each hike are below. Those who successfully complete the challenge that began Saturday will receive a certificate and decal, a 20 percent off coupon from REI, $10 in Adventure Bucks from Adventure 16 “plus bragging rights for accomplishing five cool outdoor adventures,” according to organizers. The first 50 who complete the challenge and submit their photos for verification will also receive a SDRVC cooling towel.

Photos shared on Instagram and Facebook with the hashtag #C2CChallenge might also get highlighted by the conservancy. Trail maps are available at REI — 5556 Copley Drive in Kearny Mesa and 1590 Leucadia Blvd. in Encinitas — and Adventure 16, 143 S. Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach. More information is also at sdrvc.org/C2CChallenge.html. Norton said she was inspired to launch the Coast to Crest Trail Challenge after learning about the Mission Trails’ 5-Peak
Challenge. To help people complete the challenge, the conservancy is offering at least one free guided hike per trail, though based on initial response to the offer more could be added to the schedule, said SDRVC Executive Director Trish Boaz. “Volcan sold out in the first three days, so we’ll open a second ... due to popular demand,” Boaz said, adding all the other guided hikes are near full — even those scheduled for next year — so she advises those interested to reserve their spots
quickly. She said high interest in hiking Volcan Mountain was also likely due to it being named one of the 10 best hikes in the county. While challenge participants do not need to go on a guided hike, Boaz said they are “an opportunity to join people who are knowledgeable and can let them know about the biodiversity of the plants and animals at the locations.” Boaz said all the hikes are likely doable for ages 12 and up, ranging from easy to strenuous, but people need to take safety precautions. Norton said she advises hikers to start out early in the morning, especially in the summer before the temperature gets too hot. Also, hike with a buddy and be aware of rattlesnakes. “In terms of safety, the number one concern is ... having enough water,” Boaz added. She said at a minimum people should bring with them 20 ounces (2.5 cups) of water per mile they plan to hike. “Have fun,” Boaz added, saying the river park’s Coast to Crest Trail — spanning a 70 mile stretch between Del Mar to Julian — “should not be the best kept secret in San Diego.” The challenge’s trails are: ■ The Volcan Mountain trail’s free guided hike on July 8 is sold-out, but SEE HIKERS, A22

Thriving Encinitas American Legion Post 416 installs new team of officers
On Saturday, June 10, Encinitas American Legion Post 416 held its installation for the new team of officers. Post Commander Steve Lewandowski turned over the reins of Commander to former First Vice George Barlow. In the past three years the post has seen a remarkable resurgence. The post was in danger of closing its doors because many of the WWII and Korea-era veterans were passing away at an alarming rate -- within a year’s time the post would have run out of money. So a new team of officers came in with a “Can Do” spirit and they stopped the slide and built things back up. The post has recruited over 500 members to the American Legion family in just the last three years. It also won the “Boots On The Ground” trophy for having the most new members out of the 29 American Legion Posts in San Diego County. The post also received the National Commanders Award of Post Excellence given to fewer than 1 percent of the American Legion Posts in the country. Post 416 was ranked number 1 in the state of California out of 462 American Legion Posts. Most importantly, members of the post have performed more than 20,000 hours of community service for veterans and their families in San Diego County within the past year. Outgoing Commander Steve

Additionally, County Supervisor Kristin Gaspar recognized Lewandowski with a proclamation from the county supervisors as “Steve Lewandowski Day” for Saturday, June 10. He was also presented with a proclamation from Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear, presented by Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz, and a proclamation from Assemblyman Rocky Chavez.

Local volleyball superstar sets her sights on Texas BY ROB LEDONNE hen local native Lexi Sun, the top high school volley player in the United States, began her athletic career while still a child she originally excelled at another sport. “I grew up playing competitive soccer for Surf in Del Mar and we won back-to-back state championships,” said Sun, who was born and raised in Encinitas. “That was until I was 11 years old. I was a head taller than all of my friends when my parents forced me to try volleyball. At first I was furious. I didn’t want to leave my team that I had grown up playing with, but my parents promised me that if I tried volleyball and didn’t like it, they’d let me go back to soccer.” Sun begrudgingly agreed, but it turned out that her parents had the right idea. In the decade since that fateful shift from soccer to volleyball, Sun has constructed an astounding career, collecting a multitude of accomplishments and accolades playing for both Santa Fe Christian and Team USA’s squads, and capturing national attention thanks to her skill on the court along the way. Named ALL-USA’s Player of the Year last December led ESPN to dub Sun “NCAA Volleyball’s Next Breakout Star” after the rising player signed onto the ranks of the University of Texas Longhorns, which she joins this fall. Notable from the start, Sun’s tenure at Santa Fe Christian wrapped up with the player leading her team to win the CIF Championship her senior year, which she considers her most memorable moment as an athlete. “(I was) alongside my lifelong friends while getting the opportunity to represent our school and, most importantly, God.”

1 at this payment 279467 Lexi Sun The CIF win was a perfect bookend for Sun, who spent the summer before her senior year with Team USA, traveling to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where she played alongside some of the top high school athletes in the country. “The head coach, Laurie Corbelli, led our team to the Norecca 2016 Championship,” says Sun of the experience. “Although we didn’t win, it was an honor to put on a USA jersey and gain experience playing against international teams.” For Sun, it was her second time with Team USA. In the summer of 2015, the star player was the squad’s top scorer during World Championships in Peru. Those multiple once-in-an-athletic-life experiences led to Sun’s Player of the Year accolade, which ALL-USA bestowed on Sun based on in-season performance, level of competition and strength of schedule. In addition, Sun was also named Gatorade’s 2016-2017 Volleyball Player of the Year. Receiving the awards made Sun “all the more thankful for the endless
COURTESY TEXAS ATHLETICS
support and encouragement of my family, coaches and friends who helped me get to the position I am today.” Both accolades make Sun the first incoming Longhorn recruit in 20 years to be named Player of the Year, signaling an upcoming renaissance for the team. It’ll also be the first time that Sun has lived anywhere other than her childhood home in Encinitas, but, of course, she’s up for the challenge. In fact, Sun is already in Austin and gearing up for the the upcoming season. “Even though I do miss sunny San Diego greatly, I am excited to get the opportunity to experience a new culture in Texas and make lifelong memories and friendships,” Sun said. “(Right now I’m) working out with the team and taking my first two college classes.” And, naturally, Sun is looking forward to yet another top prize. “I am beyond excited for the fall season to start to get the opportunity to play and compete for another national championship.”

OPINION

TO YOUR HEALTH
What is your skin trying to tell you?
O
ver the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined. The sooner skin cancer is diagnosed and treated, the greater the likelihood of a cure. An estimated one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Melanoma is one of the most common cancers to strike people younger than age 30. It accounts for only one percent of all skin cancers but causes a large majority of skin cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society’s estimates that about 87,110 new melanomas will be diagnosed in 2017. Healthy Habits and Early Detection Can Save your Skin There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Cumulative sun exposure is a major risk factor for developing the first two types of skin cancer. But acute sunburns are often linked to melanoma. Know how recognize the early signs of skin cancer, how it is treated and what you can do to help protect your skin. Self-Check for Moles Anyone who has ever had a sunburn is at risk
for melanoma, but genetics also play a part. People who are fair skinned or have a family history must be more alert about changes in to their skin. “Regardless of their personal risk, San Diegans should be watching for atypical moles, which tend to be multicolored and asymmetrical,” said Hubert Greenway, M.D., chairman of Mohs and dermatologic surgery at Scripps Clinic. “Problem moles are usually located on the head, neck, upper back, torso or lower legs but can be found anywhere on the skin.” Moles should be self-checked monthly. If one is darker, itchy, has ragged borders or appears to be changing, see a dermatologist. Even without symptoms, visit a dermatologist once a year for a thorough exam. Prevent Sunburns and Protect Your Skin In sunny Southern California, 30 SPF (Sun Protection Factor) sunscreen, or higher, should be a daily ritual. Wear wide-brimmed hats to keep sunlight off the head and neck, and sunglasses to protect your eyes and surrounding skin. “Tanning beds should be avoided. They raise the risk of melanoma and also dry the skin, causing wrinkles and premature aging,” said

In addition, try to stay out of the sun during the most intense hours, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Get Treatment Sooner than Later The earlier melanoma is found, the easier it is to treat. Once the disease has spread, it becomes a serious problem. “In its earliest stages, melanoma is removed surgically. If it spreads to the lymph nodes, other therapies may be required,” said Greenway. “Advanced melanoma treatment options are limited in terms of their long-term success, but newer drugs and technologies have led to major gains in the quality of care available for melanoma patients. “The most effective way to beat skin cancer is to prevent it entirely,” said Greenway. Otherwise, early detection is the best bet. “Monthly self-exams and annual dermatologic checkups can be life-savers,” Greenway said. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

A presentation and book-signing will be held at the Chino Farm in Rancho Santa Fe with Jean-Christian Jury, author of “Vegan: The Cookbook” on Sunday, July 16, from 10:30 a.m. - 12 a.m. A presentation and Q&A will begin at 11 a.m. With nearly 500 vegetable-driven recipes, “Vegan: The Cookbook” is inspired by cuisines around the world and showcases the culinary diversity of vegan cuisine; highlighting regional fruits and vegetables, traditional cooking techniques, and universally delectable flavors.

SDA poloist Dylan Herrera hits the right note BY GIDEON RUBIN n the surface, the skill-sets required to play competitive high school water polo and succeed in the music business don’t offer obvious similarities. Dylan Herrera, an incoming junior at San Dieguito Academy (SDA), is the first to admit that. But from his perspective, both ventures are a lot easier when you can get everyone on the same page. Herrera should know. He’s emerged as a rising star for the school’s burgeoning water polo program, and performs and manages a teen rock band, The Elements, that’s gained recognition this summer. “There’s the teamwork in both, you’ve got to listen to everyone’s critiques and make suggestions,” Herrera said. “For this little play in water polo, you could’ve done this or that, or what songs should go over here or over there, and change the order of that.”

Herrera seems to be figuring it out, even when unexpected challenges come up. Herrera didn’t have much time to prepare for his varsity water polo debut. He got called up from the junior varsity at the end of the season when senior goalie Conner Dahl suffered a broken hand. “I didn’t know until a couple of days before CIF (San Diego Section playoffs) that he wouldn’t be able to play,” Herrera said. Herrera immediately noticed a game that was faster and more physical in the Division III playoffs. “It was a lot of pressure,” Herrera said. Herrera immediately impressed. “Dylan really sort of presented himself as a leader and really stepped up his game and got a lot of confidence going into the playoffs,” SDA coach Scott Kling said. Herrera played goalie for the Mustangs for their best SEE HERRERA, A23

FROM EXHIBIT, A10 The winning image was photographed in Zion National Park (Utah) at the famous “Zion Narrows” in November 2016. This exotic location is a favorite of photographers worldwide and can only be accessed by hiking in the Virgin River, through water that is cold and sometimes deep. “The scene was so grand that I actually took 10 wide-format images and then stitched those into a vertical panorama for the ultimate in size and resolution. I’ve already produced it for an office at 60” high under clear acrylic and it looks amazing!” said Blechynden, who
specializes in large artwork printing and installations. The photograph was entered into the fair’s “Large Prints” category. It was printed and displayed as a 40” vertical, high-definition aluminum print. “Narrow Escape” also won a special award sponsored by the Michael Seewald Gallery in Del Mar. Two other Zion images of Blechynden’s finished 2nd and 4th in the landscape category of “Fall Scenic” as well. In recent years, Blechynden has also won varied exhibition awards in the categories of landscape scenic, flowers, birds, wild animals, family moments and night photography.

FROM HIKERS, A9 another will be scheduled, Boaz said. The Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve in Julian features a 5.4-mile round-trip trail (gateway to summit) that is rated moderately strenuous while climbing from an altitude of 4,100 feet (parking area on Farmer Road) to 5,353 feet (summit). It is only open to hiking and dogs are allowed on leash. The selfie spot is the scope at the summit. Per the SDRVC, “The Volcan Mountain ridge is iconic as both the headwaters of the San Dieguito River and the highest point in the River Park (5,300 feet at the summit). Ironside Spring feeds Santa Ysabel Creek, which meets Santa Maria Creek in San Pasqual Valley to become the San Dieguito River. “The Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve is home to mixed conifer, oak and cedar forest, native grassland and seasonal ponds. The summit features sweeping views of Earthquake Valley and the Salton Sea to the east, and on a clear day, all the way to the ocean to the west. “Just as striking as the views from the summit is the beautiful Hubbell Gateway at the beginning of the trail.” ■ The San Dieguito Lagoon trail’s guided hike will be on Sept. 23. The trailhead is at the San Andres kiosk in Del Mar. The selfie spot is the Old Grand Avenue Overlook Bridge. It is a 2.76-mile round-trip that is rated “easy,” is open to hiking and biking, and dogs are allowed on leash. Per the SDRVC, “the intertidal marsh habitat at the San Dieguito Lagoon is among the most rare and threatened habitat in California. Starting in fall 2006, an ambitious restoration project created 115 acres of wetlands in addition to the traditional coastal sage scrub habitat. “The Lagoon is a popular spot for birdwatchers as it provides habitat for a number of endangered species. It’s also a popular stopping point for migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway.” ■ The Del Dios Gorge trail’s guided hike will be on Nov. 11. The trailhead is the Santa Fe Valley staging area off Del Dios Highway near Calle Ambiente in Rancho Santa Fe. It is a 4.54-mile round-trip that is rated “moderate,” is open to hiking and biking, and dogs are allowed on leash. The selfie spot is the Rattlesnake Viewpoint. Per the SDRVC, the viewpoint gets its name “from the shape the viewpoint bench — built from native rock — forms.
FROM POLICY, A1 home renovation or construction work, at the discretion of the superintendent and provided the resident had lived in the district for at least three years. The policy had reached its sunset clause date in 2012 but the board didn’t revisit it until this year. According to Superintendent David Jaffe, the board voted to reinstate the policy with the slight addition of new homes, not just renovation and construction work. The new policy does not have a sunset clause. At the July 6 meeting, board member Scott Kahn made a public announcement about his own residency status in the district. He has been a permanent resident
Just as striking as Del Dios Gorge’s beauty is its archaeological significance. The area is home to the C.W. Harris Site Archaeological District, which has artifacts going back 9,000 years, to San Diego County’s earliest inhabitants. “The Lake Hodges Dam controls the river’s flow through the Gorge. The natural landscape is made up of both riparian vegetation and coast live oak. ... (Also viewable is) the historic Hodges Flume, which transported water from Lake Hodges to the San Dieguito Reservoir until 2003. Although the water is transported by gravity, an optical illusion makes it look like the water is traveling uphill.” ■ The Bernardo Mountain trail’s guided hike will be on Jan. 20. The summit trail portion is a 3.9-mile round-trip, which is rated “strenuous.” The total hike mileage depends on the starting point, including a few spots in Rancho Bernardo such as near the David Kreitzer Lake Hodges Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge. It is open to hiking and biking. Dogs on leash are allowed, but not within 50 feet of the lake shore. The selfie spot is Bernardo Summit, with the photo taken so that Lake Hodges is in the background. Per the SDRVC, “Bernardo Mountain rises 1,100 feet on the north side of Lake Hodges. Its hillsides and areas around the base are full of coastal sage scrub and prickly pear cacti, providing habitat for the California gnatcatcher and coastal cactus wren. The summit offers breathtaking panoramic views where golden eagles once nested.” ■ Clevenger Canyon South trail’s guided hike will be on Feb. 24. The southern trailhead is around 5 miles from San Diego Zoo Safari Park in San Pasqual. There are two options. The east fork is a 4.4-mile round-trip with the selfie spot being the wire-mesh chairs bolted to a boulder. There are two summits, at 1,755 feet and 1,635 feet, providing views of Boden Canyon, Palomar Mountain, Volcan Mountain and the Laguna Mountains. The west fork is a 2.8-mile round-trip with the selfie spot being the “end of trail” sign. It has a 1,550-foot summit and “sweeping” views of San Pasqual Valley. Both options are rated “strenuous,” open to hikers only and dogs are allowed on leash. Per the SDRVC, “the South Trail traverses hillsides full of low-lying coastal sage scrub and taller, denser southern mixed chaparral. Wildflowers emerge in the spring, coloring the hillsides with lilacs and other blooms.” of Rancho Santa Fe for six years and he recently purchased land in Rancho Santa Fe to build a new home. “In the meantime, I sold my old home and have been living in a rental property in Rancho Santa Fe where I had planned to live during the pendency of construction of my new home,” Kahn’s statement read. “Unfortunately the rental is being sold. I have attempted to find a suitable living arrangement within the district but have been unable to do so.” As a result, Kahn will be living temporarily outside the district for seven to 10 months while his new home is built. He plans to immediately move in once construction is completed. Kahn recused himself for the vote on the policy and it passed 4-0.

playoff run in school history. SDA reached the Division III finals, losing to Helix 8-6. The two teams were tied at 5-5 after three quarters. Herrera had 11 saves. Although he was still on the junior varsity team, Herrera worked with Dahl on his game, and spent some time practicing with the varsity team. “It was really helpful because everyone knows each other at San Dieguito Academy,” Herrera said. “It’s a huge family.” His rock band is a smaller family. Herrera and Julian Boyer, a Solana Beach resident, are the only full-time members of The Elements band. Boyer plans to go out for the SDA water polo team this fall. The Elements will cross-promote their music and their sport next month at the Aquatic Games, an event created by five-time Olympian Tony Azevedo. The Elements will perform during the opening ceremonies on Aug. 2 at Cabrillo High School in Long Beach. Herrera is a relative newcomer to water polo. He was
FROM INTERNET, A1 As proposed, the fiber optic system would be built, maintained and owned by the Association, and have the capacity to provide residents with internet access at a speed of 1 gigabit per second, or about 125 times the average home internet speed in California, according to information provided by the technology committee. The new system will provide internet, telephone and video streaming service, as well as be available for security systems, said
in middle school when he started playing on the suggestion of a swim instructor who noticed during lessons that he had a natural eggbeater kick, which enables poloists to stay afloat keeping their hands free. Herrera will compete next month at the Junior Olympics for the Del Mar Water Polo Club. For now, Herrera is focused on developing his game and enjoying the moment. Playing collegiately isn’t something he thinks about much. “I just want to have fun,” Herrera said. “It would be awesome to play at the college level but it’s no big deal, it’s just really fun to play and hang out with all the guys and just build friendships. “It’d be fun to continue on but it’s just a fun hobby, it’s not like it’s my dream to play in college.” Kling believes Herrera would have a lot to offer a Division II or III program, noting the vast majority of Division water polo scholarships go to players in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. “He’s a real gamer,” Kling said. “He takes on a challenge and sort of breaks it down and figures out how he can apply himself as best as he can, and he’s pretty tenacious, he just does not give up.”
Wasserman at the July 6 meeting. In the future, the network may also be used to improve cellular telephone service, he said. “We’ll probably be the most connected community in the state by the time this is operational,” Wasserman said. Construction will take between 18 and 30 months, Wasserman said, “but it’ll move fast.” As envisioned, “micro trenches” that are 1 to 4 inches wide would be dug in the community’s roads, the fiber optic cable would be laid in the trenches, and another machine would come
Music has been part of Herrera’s life since he was practically a toddler. He started playing piano when he was 3 and took lessons for about 10 years. Boyer is a vocalist, bassist and keyboardist. Herrera plans to study music and visual arts. He is taking sound mixing video editing classes at Mira Costa College over the summer. The Elements performed earlier this year at the Encinitas Spring Street Fair, Leucadia Battle of the Bands, Fiesta del Sol, and La Costa Valley Memorial Day BBQ. Their most recent performance was at the San Diego County Fair. “It was really exciting seeing people that you don’t even know having a good time and listening to the music and actually enjoying it,” Herrera said. “That was really fun and satisfying.” All indications are that Herrera’s hitting the right note in the pool and on the stage. “Going into the playoffs is a tall order,” Kling said. “We were asking a lot of him coming out of JV ball and he really rose to the occasion. He kind of does that with everything.”
right after to fill the trenches. Sapp said the machines can cover as much as three-fourths of a mile per day. The RSF Connect project will provide the main fiber optic lines through the streets, while the internet service provider and residents will work together to connect homes to the system. “The homeowner will be deciding how they want it done on their property,” Sapp said. In June, the board decided to hold a community-wide vote on the project, meaning that one ballot will be sent to
each Covenant property, including condominiums. Information such as cost breakdowns will be included in the ballot materials, officials said. The subcommittee appointed July 6 will be working to get those materials ready. “This will help us be teed up to move to an efficient election process,” said RSF Association Manager Bob Hall. Wasserman said July 6 he is optimistic that the project will move forward. “This is the biggest, most important project this community has ever undertaken,” Wasserman said.

With new and returning favorite events, Del Mar primed for a ‘fantastic’ racing season BY KELLEY CARLSON el Mar is on top of the world. Not only is the seaside oval the site of this year’s Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, it will serve as the home of Arrogate, currently the No. 1-ranked racehorse in the universe. The big, gray 4-year-old colt is scheduled to make his next start in the $300,000 TVG San Diego Handicap on July 22, his first since his victory in the $10 million Dubai World Cup in March. If all goes well, Arrogate will likely target the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Aug. 19, and then defend his title in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 4. “We’re very pleased that the Arrogate connections have decided to stay home and give California’s thoroughbred fans a chance to watch the best horse in racing right now perform,” said Tom Robbins, Del Mar’s executive vice president for racing. “We’ll be delighted to showcase him at Del Mar, and his presence will add some marvelous spice to our overall racing program.” To commemorate the return of Arrogate, posters of the champion will be distributed to fans on July 22, while supplies last. Arrogate’s expected appearance in the TVG San Diego Handicap is the first Saturday of Del Mar’s summer meet, which spans seven weeks. The season - which will run July 19 through Sept. 4 - is action-packed with returning events, along with a few new ones. Among the special occasions will be “Chargers Day at Del Mar” on July 22, the same day as Arrogate’s anticipated comeback. “This is a chance for many of the Chargers players to say thank you to the people of San Diego who rooted for them through thick and thin during more than half a century here in town,” former Chargers player/coach/broadcaster Hank Bauer said. “We’ll be tipping our caps to our loyal fans and letting them know how much we appreciated that loyalty and their support and encouragement over all those years.” Groups of Chargers – organized by decade – will assemble in the winner’s circle after each race to honor the victors, and then head to the Plaza de Mexico for a photo and autograph session with fans.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 13, 2017 - PAGE B3
CAROLE A. FEUERMAN Madison Gallery presents internationally acclaimed New York artist Carole Feuerman’s solo exhibition, The Bathers. Bathers. Feuerman has been recognized as a groundbreaking and influential figure in the world of hyperrealistic sculpture. Together with Duane Hanson and John De Andrea, Feuerman is one of the three artists that started the hyperrealist movement in the late seventies by making life sculptures that portrayed their subjects precisely. Dubbed “the reigning doyenne of hyperrealism” by art historian John T. Spike, Feuerman has solidified her place in art history. The Bathers examines Feuerman’s fascination with swimmers since 1980, when she created her first swimmer sculpture, the iconic ‘Catalina’ which was bought by Malcolm Forbes. Forbes was instrumental in Feuerman’s career. As her first collector, he purchased her entire show at the Hanson Gallery in 1981. Ever since that time, Feuerman has concentrated on creating swimmers with her signature water droplets. In her own words, “My swimmers have their own personalities and tell their own stories. Their stories are my stories, sometimes autobiographical and sometimes stories I just need to tell. While their outward appearance is often one of beauty and tranquility, their faces show deeper meanings of serenity, grace, triumph, and liberation. In this exhibition, the artist embraces the concept of aesthetic beauty while exploring classicism, once taboo in the world of contemporary art. In her Carole Feuerman `The Midpoint´, Life-size, Patinated Resin, 2017 most recent work, ‘The Midpoint’ featured above, Feuerman depicts a young woman caught in her midpoint, transitioning from a girl to a woman, and contemplating what this time means in her life. In an age when the line between childhood and adulthood is blurrier than ever, what does it mean to be a ‘grownup’? Feuerman has been honored with nine solo museum retrospectives to date. Her work has been showcased in numerous exhibitions including three Venice Biennales, the National Museum of China in Shanghai, the Clay Arch Museum in South Korea, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, the Academia de Bellas Artes in Madrid, the State Hermitage, and the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation. She won first prize at the Austrian Biennale, the Florence Biennale, the 2008 Olympic Fine Art Exhibition, Best in Show at the Beijing Biennale, Best in Show at the Save the Arts Foundation as Museum Choice, and has also won a Peabody. One of Feuerman’s most recognizable pieces ‘The Golden Mean’, Mean’, can be seen in Riverfront Green Park overlooking the Hudson River and is owned by the City of Peekskill, NY. Her ‘Monumental Double Diver’ is owned by the City of Sunnyvale in Silicon Valley, CA. Her monumental ‘Survival of Serena’ can be seen on the Island of Capri in Piazzetta Capri overlooking the Sea of Naples. Feuerman sculptures are included in the permanent collections of nineteen museums, and the private collections of the Emperor of Japan, President Bill and Hillary Clinton, Norman Brahman, the Caldic Collection, Robert Hurst, Former President of the Whitney Museum, Mr. & Mrs. William Mack, Chairman & Board of Directors of the Guggenheim Museum, Mr. Eitan & Ariella Wertheimer, On the Board of the Tel Aviv Museum, Mark Parker of Nike, and Malcolm Forbes, among others. She has taught in prestigious institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, and Columbia University. Founded in 2001, Madison Gallery is committed to representing emerging, mid-career and established international artists whom work in a range of media. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art, the gallery consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery works closely in building private, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in California. Blouin Modern Painters Magazine has recognized our program for the fifth year in a row as one of the Top 500 galleries worldwide.

Herman Cook Volkswagen a family affair for 50 years
H
La Jolla Cultural Partners
erman Cook Volkswagen in Encinitas is celebrating a big birthday this month and is planning a party to commemorate it. The dealership, at 1435 Encinitas Boulevard, has been in business for 50 years since Herman Cook opened it in 1967. Cook — who began working for Riviera Volkswagen of Manhattan Beach in 1956 and came to Encinitas with his family in 1966 — acquired the land, near Encinitas Boulevard and El Camino Real. San Diego County officials predicted the area to be the hub of the booming city, said Cook's son, Dennis Cook. "We all kind of lucked out, and it turned out to be a great location," said Dennis, who has served as president and owner of the dealership since his dad retired in 1980. "In the early days, Encinitas Boulevard, which was then called San Marcos Road, was a two-way road and El Camino dead-ended there. It didn't go south. South was nothing but sagebrush and cacti." Now, the area is adorned with businesses and is a high-traffic area in Encinitas.
Dennis said he has also continued to support the city, having served as president of the Encinitas Rotary Club and served as both the chairman and a member of the Board of Managers at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. "The community is changing," he said. "It's not the sleepy little surf town that it once was. But there are still a lot of people who have lived here for a long, long time and we're fortunate a lot of those people continue to do business with us." Dennis, who has worked at the dealership since he was 13, said the dealership is now serving third and fourth generations of the same families. People come back because of the business' "family-friendly environment," he said. Both of Dennis' sons work at the dealership as part owners, making the business a true family affair that Dennis hopes to extend to the customers. "We want you to come in here and feel like you're being treated like you're a member of the family,” Dennis said. “You're not just a SEE COOK, B22

A San Diego Premiere
‘At This Evening’s Performance’ offers laugh-a-minute farce BY DIANA SAENGER Actor John Nutten admits he’s been very fortunate in his career, appearing in films, TV shows and on stage. He’s performed at the North Coast Repertory Theatre before (“Unnecessary Farce,” “The Odd Couple,” “Time Stands Still,” “Breaking Legs”), and said he’s happy to return for the comedy and play-within-a-play, “At This Evening’s Performance,” written by Nagle Jackson and directed by Andrew Barnicle. “When I read the script it made me laugh out loud, something I normally don’t do,” Nutten said. “I found myself having to stop reading at times just to giggle. When I get something that funny, my instinct says of course I want to be a part of this play.” Not only is Nutten excited about the script, he’s crazy about his character Pankoff. “He’s an essential part of the play. He comes into the middle of the action, looks around, and says let’s shake things up a bit,” Nutten said. “The story takes place in a county in Eastern Europe called Strevia, which recently took over another country, Dunsk. Pankoff is now the Minister of Culture who has entered into a powerful situation and sees himself somewhat of a playwright. However, he doesn’t have a theater company and he lacks the skills for writing. He’s also a little bipolar, which is kind of fun in a comedy to play.” Bruce Turk (Gunther Posnik) and Katie MacNichol (Hippolyta Posnik) are a real married couple who play the leads, a married couple. Nutten said they are phenomenal
actors and their performance alone is worth the price of admission. Newton’s favorite scene is when he’s trying to convince Gunther to be in his National Theatre Company. “Gunther says he wants the same thing, but he thinks his life is in jeopardy due to he and his wife, Hippolyta’s, political activities,” Nutten said. “This is what I love about a farce! It has these little layers of things going on. “The story takes place in the theater and there are a lot of theater references, so a theatre audience is going to really enjoy it, especially with Jackson’s clever

Photos from ‘Imaging The World: Africa North/South’ by Lisa Ross
Glass artist Dick Ditore
WILL BOWEN
Photos of Africa, stylish glass work captivate at local art show LET’S REVIEW BY WILL BOWEN The new show at the La Jolla Art Association (LJAA) gallery combines the painting-like photography of Lisa Ross’ “Imaging The World: Africa North/South” with the Dale Chihuly-influenced glass work of Dick Ditore — and is an absolute gem. It’s probably the finest exhibition at the gallery in a long time. Ross’ artistic photographs from her travels in Africa blend well with the swirling colors and interesting
shapes of Ditore’s glass. You can see it through July 16 at 8100 Paseo Del Ocaso in La Jolla Shores. Modifications made to the gallery space for the show, which improved lighting and helped create a truly beautiful white space, also contributed to the overall improved look of the gallery. Although Ross has had an amazingly diverse career, she said her involvement with photography runs deep, tracing itself to the most renowned American photographer of all time — Ansel Adams. Ross was a student of Adams at Hamilton
High School in West Los Angeles, which had a prestigious photography program. Adams, who lived near the school, encouraged the students and judged their competitions. “We students would go over to Adams’ house,” said Ross. “Once he took me aside and said to me, ‘You need to be a photographer!’ ” But Ross went on to do other things first. She started out in film school at USC, but because the field was so male-dominated at the time, she switched to study counseling psychology, where she ended up ABD (All But Dissertation). She taught courses like Psychopathology, as a grad student at USC,
and then as a professor at National University. After her teaching stint, Ross worked as a freelance political consultant and journalist in San Diego. She found her way back to photography in 2001, when the first digital cameras came out. Ross said she also bought a very expensive Epson 9600 printer that printed photographs on canvas, making them look like paintings. Her work at the LJAA Gallery is from her Africana collection. “I love Morocco in north Africa,” Ross explained, “and in the south, SEE ART SHOW, B22

Rock ’N’ Roll Camp for Girls aims to boost confidence, talents BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A San Diego camp is hoping to empower girls through music later this month. Leucadia resident Melissa Grove founded the nonprofit Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls San Diego two years ago as a way to help the girls build confidence and talents. The San Diego chapter is one of more than 100 worldwide. “My main goal in life is to give children empowering experiences,” said Grove, who formerly worked in child development and the theatre. “This allows me to use my gift in the performing arts in a way that I’m passionate about.” At the camp, which runs July 24 through the 28 at the San Diego Performing Arts Center, 40 girls — in age groups of 8 through 11 and 12 through 17 — take on the guitar, bass, vocals, drums or keyboards in eight bands and are led by volunteer female instructors. For some, it will be their first time picking up an instrument, Grove said. Each band also writes its own original song. The hard work is culminated with a performance at the House of Blues San Diego on July 29 at noon. The event is open to the public, and tickets cost $10. “It’s a fast program, and it’s very powerful,” said Grove, who plays the guitar. “We come in with a punch and then they get the honor of playing at the House of Blues, which has been very supportive.” Throughout the week, the girls also participate in empowering workshops that

They also design band logos, which are then screen-printed onto T-shirts. Grove said her goal is to help shape the girls into strong women. “We’re in an interesting, challenging time right now, especially for females,” she said. “This allows the girls to come together and collaborate, communicate with each other and just have a space for self-expression. It’s a great place for them to come and try new things out, have a voice and be heard. I really want to encourage
girls to be advocates for each other, as well as themselves, and foster leadership.” Grove believes every girl should have a chance to participate in the camp, regardless of financial status. Camp registration is $375, but the nonprofit also provides financial aid to those who need it. Registration is nearly filled, but the camp may still have spots available. Those interested should check the camp’s website. Grove said she enjoys seeing the girls collaborate with each other. “When they come in on a Monday, they’re coming in as an individual,” she said. “It’s like magic over the course of the next couple of days. I can hear their conversations being a little more open-minded, they want to collaborate more and work together.” For more information, visit www.rockcampforgirlssd.org.
ElliptiGO Ride celebrating International Elliptical Cycling Day a success Elliptical bicycle riders gathered for a ride along the coast in celebration of International Elliptical Cycling Day on Saturday, July 8.

Viewpoint Brewing Company, set for a soft opening this weekend, will be Del Mar’s first brewery. And with a trio of locally-trained chefs at the helm, it will be the San Diego region’s first cuisine-forward brewery.
Viewpoint Brewing set for its long-awaited debut BY SEBASTIAN MONTES harles Koll and crew may be taking DIY too much to heart. In the mad rush to get Viewpoint Brewing Company ready for its soft opening this weekend, Koll has been found welding the guardrails out front. Sister-in-law Meghan Koll has taken on the interior design. His father carved the beer taps. Mom pitched in with decorative flourishes. Executive chef Gunnar Planter’s dad helped do the doors. It’s been a two-year labor of love to reimagine the aging warehouse on San Dieguito Lagoon and reshape it into Del Mar’s first-ever brewery. “Everything you see here we did ourselves or we brought in friends,” said head brewer Moe Katomski. “Everything.” For nearly four decades, the warehouse in the non-descript industrial park at the intersection of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive was home to the beloved pottery studio Eucalyptus Stoneware, run by John Laver, known worldwide for it iconic bread baskets. Laver begrudgingly shut down at the end of 2014, and within a matter of months, Koll and his father — who lives a few hundred yards away — snatched up the For Rent sign they saw one day as they drove by. “To be honest, he saw way more in it than I did at the time,” Koll said. Over two-plus years, Koll slogged through the City of Del Mar’s exacting review process and a procedural challenge from former mayor Al Corti, who lives a stone’s throw away. Koll brought in Planter to run the kitchen and Katowski to run the brewhouse and, with all hands in, they transformed the 4,500 square feet of industrial space into the San Diego region’s first cuisine-forward brewery. “I was lucky because I grew up here and a lot of the neighbors know me and had my beers and have always supported me in this endeavor,” Koll said. “It kind of feels like I cheated a little bit because I had so much
C
community support.” It may be their first time taking the helm, but to call them first-timers would be a disservice to their lengthy culinary pedigrees. The trio combined has decades of experience in the kitchens of some of the area’s most venerated eateries — Mille Fleurs, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Prepkitchen and the University Club among them. Now the trio find themselves cozied up to the south bank of the San Dieguito Lagoon and Wildlife Bird Reserve, where a stretch of the Coast-to-Crest trail winds up against the 2,000-square-foot patio filled with communal tables, fire-pit booths, custom swings and space to play bocce, cornhole and the like. But the Viewpoint moniker is not about the panoramic vista that opens onto the lagoon once the retracting garage doors roll up. “The idea of Viewpoint is that it’s about perspective, we’re constantly playing with themes and design elements that make you look twice,” Koll said. “How you see things is always going to be different than the person next to you; the same is true for flavor and food and beer.” Standing in the dining room as they hustle through preparations for the horseracing season at the fairgrounds next door, what jumps out are the flourishes of thoughtful detail. The Viewpoint logo, when flipped upside-down, reads with squinted eyes as “good beer.” Custom-made planters hang from the high ceilings, made by Laver himself. Vintage Skee-ball machines were brought in from the East Coast. Tables were carved from local Torrey pine. A wall of lockers will house a Mug Club with custom-engraved name tags. A special spot on the menu has been set aside for their “Buy a Bird a Beer” campaign to benefit the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. With collaboration the name of their game, ingredients in Planter’s culinary offerings will coincide with the beer flowing SEE BREWERY, B23

First time buying a car and I had such a great experience here. The staff is very prompt and professional. Shout out to Cory who worked with me on getting a brand new 2017 Toyota Prius.

Legendary Col. Ed Fletcher's descendants reunite — for 92nd straight year BY ROB NIKOLEWSKI For the Fletcher family, Fourth of July is never complete without a group photo. That can be a quite a chore when five generations need to get rounded up. “This is not easy,” real estate agent Ron Fletcher said with a combination of good humor and exasperation as the Fletcher clan moseyed across a beach around noontime Tuesday, July 4. He and about 120 others were gathered for their 92nd consecutive annual reunion in Del Mar, a community whose development is among the many legacies of the family’s late patriarch — the legendary Col. Ed Fletcher. “This is like herding cats,” said Grant Fletcher, at age 57 the youngest grandson of the colonel, who came to San Diego in the late 1880s with $6.10 in his pockets and ended up living a tale resembling that of Horatio Alger. By the time the colonel — who received his title from an appointment to the California National Guard — died in 1955, he and his wife, Mary, had raised 10 children and helped turn San Diego County from a sparse Southern California outpost into a major metropolitan area. With a knack for salesmanship and a discerning eye for real estate and other financial opportunities, Ed Fletcher was instrumental in the development of Rancho Santa Fe, Grossmont, Mount Helix and a host of other projects, such as the Pine Hills Lodge in Julian.

And he served in the state Senate between 1935 and 1947. Thousands of motorists drive on Fletcher Parkway each day and many residents relax at Lake Hodges, one of several water infrastructure projects that Fletcher helped shepherd. Less well-known is a more personal project that Fletcher established — the annual Fourth of July family reunion. From the Jazz Age to the digital era, relatives have gathered at the Fletcher
family compound in Del Mar each year since. And yes, the group photo was taken Tuesday, July 4. As toddlers squirmed in the front rows, the most senior member of the Fletcher clan posed in a plastic beach chair: 96-year-old Charlotte Taylor Rowe, whose mother was the eldest of Col. Fletcher and Mary’s children. “It’s just wonderful to see the tradition carry on,” Rowe said. “I’m sure our grandmother would have loved it.” Bonnie Fletcher, a La Jolla law firm
administrator and Ron Fletcher’s sister, said the key to a successful string of family reunions is keeping a low-key attitude. “The environment here is kids and hot dogs and hamburgers,” she said. “The only competition is who can surf better.” Like many, Ron Fletcher said the annual reunion is a highlight for him every year. “I don’t even think about a Fourth of July anywhere else,” he said. Mary Catherine Taylor Escherich, 91, the second-oldest granddaughter who now lives in Pomona, remembered Col. Fletcher as a visionary who formed a fondness for the backcountry as he got his start in the area delivering fruit on SEE FLETCHER, B23

Preserving Your Historical Property At GDC Construction, we know it is important to preserve the history and charm of our unique community of La Jolla. With so many architectural gems in this “jewel” we call home, we passionately believe in historical preservation. Over the years, we have worked on dozens of preservation remodels of historical properties. These include: my grandfather’s remodel of the La Jolla landmark the Athenaeum in 1956, which now serves as an art and music library; my father’s 1984 remodel of the YMCA La Jolla Firehouse as a youth center; my renovation of the La Jolla Community Center; and GDC’s recent remodel of La Jolla Firehouse 13. The San Diego Historical Resources Board is responsible for designating a local home or building as historic. Then, the California Mills Act allows homeowners to get a tax rebate for maintaining a historical property, an incentive that can go a long way to helping preserve the character that people have come to associate with La Jolla.
Preserving historic property simple. Pr vi a histori ty iisn’t’t always lw si le If you are interested in restoring or preserving a historic property, there are some important steps to consider. If you are interested in purchasing an older property and want to know if it is listed as a historic home, you can research the home’s deed trust to discover its original build-date and learn more about its history. The National Register of Historic Places and the National Trust for Historic Preservation provide lists of historic homes and properties for sale. Also, you can check with local building conservation associations or historic societies in your area, such as the La Jolla Historical Society. However, if you are wanting to permit a significant alteration, or demolition, to a building that is older than 45 years old, it will automatically trigger a review by the historic resources board during the permit process. If the property has characteristics of a specific style, is associated with persons or events that were historically significant, or a master architect, designer or builder, you will need a site-specific historic report. This report will be reviewed by the historic resources board and at a hearing, it will be determined if you property is designated historic or not. Historic properties will come with restrictions on what you may do to alter the exterior of the building and landscape, but not the interior. Therefore, it is crucial to always make sure you hire a licensed contractor who specializes in restoration or rehabilitation. Also, there is a big difference between “restoring” and “rehabilitating” historic properties.

Restoring house means returning the appearance off Rest in a ho tu in th both the exterior and interior of the structure to the time period in which it was built. For homes of a certain age, strict preservation usually isn’t possible. For example, if the house did not originally have indoor plumbing, but you plan to live in the home and don’t want that level of “rustic authenticity,” then you will likely not choose a strict restoration! Another reason not to seek strict restoration might be historic renovations made to the home, especially if provenance comes into play. For example, if Marilyn Monroe previously owned your house and retiled a wood floor in hard-to-find pink ceramic tile, there may be a strong historic appeal to keeping that addition. Restoring can be costly, but recreating old woodwork and other handcrafted elements of the original home with original artisanal materials will also restore its value and will boost your appreciation of your historic home. Rehabilitating an historic house means making it functional and livable for contemporary life, while maintaining its important historic and architectural features. Often, rehabilitated homes will have all the modern conveniences of updated plumbing and electrical systems, a modern kitchen, and other potential upgrades. However, in all cases you should be sure to take care to minimize the interference with the integrity of the historic quality of the home. This may also, of course, include removing any previous additions that were poorly designed or executed, or have compromised the integrity of the historic home.
Whatever you ddo, make What ak sure you have h a solid lid plan pl in i place when restoring or rehabilitating your historic property, just as you would with any build or remodel project. Know your team and make sure the contractor and tradespeople are communicating. A plumber may need to cut a hole in plaster to access a pipe, but a carpenter may be necessary to do that part of the work to maintain the historic integrity. Any potential environmental hazards in a historic property should be handled with caution. Many older homes in La Jolla contain asbestos and lead paint, and you don’t want to expose workers or occupants to these elements unprotected. Try not to install new windows in your home if the old windows have an historic quality. Often, heat retention can be boosted with glazing, crafty carpentry, or strategic weatherstripping. On average only 10 percent of a home’s heat loss occurs through windows, so there may well be more effective ways to handle this heat loss and preserve what might be an important feature of the historic home. Finally, make sure you document existing conditions and each part of the restoration or rehabilitation process, especially with a digital file to help further preserve the historic home’s ongoing history.

The sassy slaws of summer
C
oleslaw — the laid back, quintessential salad of summer — has come a long way from its simple days when folks used to debate whether the creamy kind was superior to the vinegary version. Today’s slaws have been tweaked, refined, updated, elaborated and ethnic-ized to create a confetti of crunchy, healthy eye-candy to amp up the season’s favorites from burgers of all kinds, ribs and dogs to grilled fish, chicken and picnic sandwiches. The origin of the word “coleslaw” is derived from the Dutch koolsla meaning “cabbage salad.” During the latter part of the 17th and early 18th centuries, droves of immigrants from Holland landed in New York City, earning the moniker of “New Amsterdam” to the cosmopolitan region. The Dutch enriched the city with their culture and cuisine, including the traditional chilled coleslaw dish blending shredded cabbage and other vegetables, tossed in a creamy, savory dressing with the added boon that it didn’t go soggy as quickly as traditional salads. While there are hundreds of cabbage varieties throughout the world, each with its own distinct flavor profile, texture and color, only a select few are available at American markets: • Smooth-leafed Green cabbage used for traditional slaws is cultivated in three varieties (the oval or round Danish with good heft and tightly packed leaves, the slightly flattened, loose-leafed Domestic, and the conical headed Pointed). • The Red cabbage with brightly hued magenta leaves and white veins streaked throughout has a chewier texture than the Green varieties, adds a pop of color to slaws and a greater oomph of Vitamin C from the anthocyanin pigments. • Mild-flavored Savoy or curly cabbage has pale yellowy green, crinkly textured leaves. • Napa, also called Chinese cabbage is a close cousin to kale, but less pungent in taste. This elliptically shaped crucifer has pale green lacy leaves in a loosely packed head. • Tuscan cabbage, a newbie in this country is likely found at specialty produce shops and farmers markets. Dark green feathery leaves are delicate in taste and texture. • Brussels sprouts are miniature cabbage heads sold on the stalk or loose in bunches. Cabbage or crucifers of all manners provide a phyto powerhouse of antioxidants (especially Vitamin C) to help ward off breast, colon and prostate cancers, reduce “bad cholesterol” and ratchet up immunity. Rife with B vitamins and potassium cabbage boosts energy and calms jittery nerves, while stabilizing heart rate and blood pressure. Coleslaw-up with these regional and international variations: 1. New York deli-style coleslaw with a sweet and savory kick is a simple blend of shredded green cabbage, carrots, and red peppers tossed in an oil and vinegar based
Creamy Coleslaw ■ Ingredients: 1/2 head each green and red cabbage, shredded or coarsely chopped; 4 carrots, shredded; 1 red pepper, diced; 1 cup mayonnaise; 1 cup Greek yoghurt or buttermilk; juice from one lemon; 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar; 3 tablespoons stone ground mustard; 1 tablespoon clear honey ■ Method: In a large bowl, blend vegetables. In a small mixing bowl, combine dressing ingredients and bend well. Pour desired amount of dressing over cabbage mixture and toss. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
dressing. 2. Spicy Southwest incorporates roasted corn, peppers, black beans, and chipotle hot sauce to dial up a traditional slaw. 3. A Hawaiian/tropical slaw is a sweet rendition that mixes grilled or raw fruits from mango and papaya to pineapple and guava in a honey lime marinade. 4. Asian-style combines Napa and red cabbages with scallions, celery slices, mandarin oranges and slivered almonds in a sesame soy ginger dressing. 5. French-inspired salad uses Savoy cabbage with celery salt and a Dijon mustard based vinaigrette. 6. Mediterranean or Greek slaw is a confetti of cabbages with Persian cucumber chunks, Kalamata olives, and chopped red onions, tossed in a garlic tzatziki sauce. 7. Brussels sprouts-braised or raw and finely shredded with bacon bits in a balsamic glaze makes a hearty change up. 8. Bavarian coleslaw is a robust blend of cooked red cabbage in a sweet-and-sour sauce of apple cider vinegar and brown sugar, served warm or chilled. Note: The mayonnaise myth that coleslaw drenched in a creamy dressing will spoil quickly in the heat has recently been dispelled. Mayonnaise made from pasteurized eggs with an acidic component like cider vinegar or lemon juice has been found on the contrary to keep food-borne bacteria at bay. In any case, be judicious with food storage during outdoor soirées to prevent spoilage.

Encinitas duo make Brekki their big break BY PAM KRAGEN hile training for an ultra-marathon in Australia a few years back, Russell Radebaugh discovered an oats, milk and grain breakfast dish that was not only healthy but kept him full for hours. Three years later, Radebaugh, 35, and his longtime friend and now partner, Greg Peyser, 33, launched Brekki, a new Carlsbad company that manufactures an adapted version of that dish, which is known as Bircher muesli, or overnight oats. Brekki — inspired by the Australian slang word for breakfast — is a mix of rolled oats, almond milk, grains, seeds, nuts and fresh fruit. It sells for $2.99 per 6-ounce refrigerated tub and can be found in the refrigerated section at 16 Whole Foods markets in Southern California. Peyser said the feedback he and Radebaugh are getting from customers has been encouraging. “People taste it and say ‘it’s good’ and they can’t believe it’s non-dairy because it’s so creamy,” Peyser said. “Seeing how the product resonates with people, that’s the golden ticket for us.” Radebaugh and Peyser met a decade ago when they were both college lacrosse players. Radebaugh grew up in Maryland and after college went to work in marketing for the Campbell Soup Co. in Philadelphia. Peyser is originally from New York and has a background in the credit and food industries. Five years ago, he and his wife, Whitney, started a company distributing organic produce in San Diego. The following year, the organic juice company Suja bought the Peysers’ company and hired him to serve as Suja’s director of procurement.

PAM KRAGEN/SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
Russell Radebaugh, left, and Greg Peyser of Brekki hold different flavors of their Australian-inspired overnight oatmeal product, which is sold at select Whole Foods stores in Southern California. In August 2015, Radebaugh joined Suja as the company’s director of marketing. Once Peyser and Radebaugh — who both live in Encinitas — were working under the same roof at Suja, they started talking about one day starting their own company. That’s when Radebaugh brought up Bircher meusli, which he first tasted in 2014 during that visit to his wife, Michelle’s, native Australia. Australians didn’t invent Bircher meusli. It was a mush created in the 1800s by Swiss doctor and nutritionist Maximilian Bircher-Benner as a way to get more raw fruit into the diets of his sanitorium patients. To soften the uncooked oats and grains, they were
traditionally soaked overnight in milk or cream. Every weekend for more than a year, Radebaugh and Peyser experimented with different recipes. They decided to use almond milk instead of cow’s milk so it could be sold as a dairy-free, vegan product. They also worked for months to find just the right combination of ingredients for creaminess and consistency. Besides oats, Brekki is made with buckwheat, chia and flax seeds, puffed amaranth grain, sea salt and coconut syrup. The product has about 300 calories with as little as 7 grams of sugar per serving. In January, they flew to the Winter Fancy Foods Show in San Francisco, where they met with a buyer for
Whole Foods. Radebaugh said the timing of their meeting was ideal because in the year they’d been working on their formula, the popularity of overnight oats exploded in America. Recipes and photos began turning up on Instagram and Pinterest and companies like Starbucks began developing their own overnight oats products. “They did all the heavy lifting for us when it came to product awareness,” Radebaugh said. While the entrepreneurs were confident about their product, they were stunned when Whole Foods contacted them in March with a product order. At the time, they had no office or manufacturing site.
But rather than miss the opportunity, they resigned from Suja and rented a “makers” space, where they could have a front office, a manufacturing space and, eventually a retail space, at Carlsbad Gateway Center. Just six weeks later, the first cases of Brekki overnight oats rolled off the assembly line. Up until a few weeks ago, the partners have been doing everything themselves from making the product to in-store demonstrations. The face-to-face interaction with customers has been enlightening, Peyser said, because it helped them find a new market niche. “We’ve seen a great opportunity with health-conscious parents,” said Peyser. “My wife and I are working parents with two kids and we don’t feel bad peeling the seal on this product and giving it to the kids in the morning.” So far, they’ve shipped about 80 cases of their product, but they expect that to grow quickly. Recently, Whole Foods expanded its test market for the product from 11 to 16 stores. Peyser said sales tracking shows the product is growing in sales each week. Brekki is available in four flavors: original, strawberry, raspberry and blueberry. Radebaugh said they’re looking to eventually add some tropical flavors like coconut. They’re also considering some savory flavors, like cardamom or turmeric, so Brekki can become an all-day snack. “We think there’s a market for it,” Radebaugh said, “but people need to get eased into it.” Brekki sells for $2.99 for a 6-ounce portion.

years, before relocating to San Diego County, is quick to praise Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties for helping to successfully navigate the sale. “Our legal team helped enormously; they really supported my clients and me throughout the transaction,” she said. “Additionally, our marketing department worked with me on identifying creative yet intelligent ways to get the word out.” To put Shelly’s expertise to work for you, contact her at 646-706-1760 mobile, 858-756-3795 office, and xwu@bhhscal.com.

FROM COOK, B4 number. We don't subscribe to a lot of the tactics that corporate-owned stores use to try and sell cars. We want to respect everybody. When they leave, after they buy a car, we want them to have great, big smiles on their faces, not horrible headaches." Herman Cook Volkswagen's Yelp page supports Dennis' thoughts about his business. One user wrote in February that "this dealership does everything possible to make it a hassle-free process." Dennis said he enjoys working in the car business because he believes car buying should be enjoyable, and not an inconvenience. "I enjoy being with people," he said. "Usually people don't come to a car dealership because they're really happy to spend a lot of money. It's not the first choice of someone's discretionary income. When someone comes in and says they were afraid to come buy a car, and we're able to find a car that meets their needs and have them leave smiling, that's a real rewarding thing for me." He considers Volkswagen vehicles to be reliable and ever-evolving to keep up with modern technology, while still "staying true to the German engineering and being a step above their competition, both in the fit and finish of the car and in the quality of the car." Herman Cook Volkswagen will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a public event on Saturday, July 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the dealership. Featured activities include a Vintage Volkswagen car show, with vehicles from 1967 or older, as well as free food and drinks, raffles and kids games.

FROM ART SHOW, B11 Botswana is great for its wildlife, and Namibia has wonderful deserts. Cape Town is lovely and a lot like La Jolla, but the surrounding poverty, left over from apartheid, is very detracting.” In Africa, her primary means of travel was bush plane. She said she planned out some of her shots, but other photos were just spontaneous. “With the digital camera, you just shoot tons of images and then take it to the computer where the interesting stuff kind of emerges on its own,” she noted, adding her favorite thing is to shoot landscapes and abstract images, sometimes wildlife, but rarely portraits, which she considers too difficult. Ross has photographs from some 100 countries, which she ells online and at her gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Ross said brought glass artist Ditore into the show, after meeting him at a wildlife benefit at her home. Ditore was an electrician by trade for much of his adult life, but has worked with glass for the past 17 years. He said he took his first classes in glass art at Alpine Glass in Mission Valley. After that, he switched over to the Arts & Crafts Center at UC San Diego, which was headed by Ron Carlson. A few years ago, much to everyone’s dismay, UCSD cited financial difficulties and the Craft Center was torn down. Ditore called the destruction “a travesty” that denied students and the public a great opportunity to take art and craft classes. Ditore said he developed a great passion for glass and felt that he needed more instruction, so he began to go up to
Washington State to study at Dale Chihuly’s Pilchuck Glass School. He went there every summer for 13 year before getting hired as an instructor, five years ago to teach engraving, carving and glass polishing. Pilchuck is a 50-acre campus in the middle of a 15,000-acre tree farm. “The summer session lasts 6-8 weeks and everyone there is interested in glass art, so it’s an exhilarating and stimulating experience,” Ditore said. Chihuly, probably the most famous glass artist in the world, comes by once or twice a summer. “Sadly, there is really only one glass art program left in San Diego and that is at Palomar College in San Marcos,” Ditore said. He sells most of his work through the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, and at a private gallery in Ashville, North Carolina. He also does private commissions. “My most recent commission was an glass Viking ship modeled after the one archaeologists unearthed in the mud of a Swedish harbor,” he explained. “I also did a glass scroll with Hebrew characters for the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition at the Museum of Natural History in Balboa Park. “I don’t like making production-line stuff where you make the same thing over and over just to sell it. I like new challenges. And I am not a social commentator. My work is purely aesthetic. I want to bring a little beauty and joy into people’s lives. Personally, what I like best about glass is its smooth touch. That is why I always encourage people to touch my work.” ■ IF YOU GO: La Jolla Art Association Gallery is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday; closed Monday. Free.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 13, 2017 - PAGE B23
FROM FLETCHER, B18 dirt roads. “He loved it so much and wanted to see it developed,” Escherich said. “Maybe he didn’t have the education, but he could see where the dams and other things should go and he knew someday, somebody would be happy living there.” Eighty-year-old Larry Fletcher, one of the colonel and Mary’s grandsons, still lives in Fletcher Hills, the El Cajon-La Mesa neighborhood his grandfather helped construct. He recalled that while Col. Fletcher was a literal mover and shaker in the San Diego region — for example, redirecting a river in Del Mar to make room for more oceanfront lots — it was Mary Fletcher who often had the final say-so on familial matters. “Grandfather took her out (in El Cajon) to show her the new house he had bought because it had a lot of bedrooms so they could raise their family there,” he said. “And grandmother said after a half a day’s ride by buggy to get there, absolutely not, I’m not going to live this far out. So he had to turn around and sell it. She ruled the roost.” Col. Fletcher had a significant role in shaping the community of Del Mar, including the establishment of the Del Mar Racetrack and fairgrounds. He also directed surveyors and the mule team that dragged logs through Del Mar’s rugged hillsides and laid out the city’s plot maps in the early 1900s.
FROM BREWERY, B15 out of Katomski’s 15-barrel brewhouse, set to include a Mandarina Pale Ale, a Red Rye IPA that won warm reception at last month’s Summer Solstice event, and a single-malt, single-hop French Saison. Once Viewpoint settles in, the in-house collaboration will only deepen. “We’re going to do some very cool stuff with the chefs in the back where they’re going to recommend the spices I brew with,” Katomski said. “We’re talking not just about pairing the food but actually putting some of those ingredients into the beer.” Little surprise, then, that the DIY ethic has carried over into Planter’s kitchen. He’s dehydrating the limes and making the salt for the chicken dry rub. Ditto for their
Each lot had a view along Del Mar’s winding streets, and Col. Fletcher built the first seaside beach house in the Del Mar Beach Colony. “When I was a child, we would have Sunday picnics out here with my grandmother and grandfather all year long, not just during the summer,” said Virginia Mack Wofford, 78, whose mother was Col. Fletcher and Mary’s eighth child. Wofford even remembers the family actually having to pay people to stay at the houses on the beach during the winters to make sure the homes were protected from storms that sent waves onshore. “We paid them $25 to $50 a month to live in them because no one was here in the winter,” she said, which is startling when one considers how much year-round vacation rentals go for today. The Fletcher Fourth of July celebration also provides the family an opportune time to gather and determine which local charities will receive earnings from the Fletcher family foundation endowment. Bonnie Fletcher said once members of the family reach age 21, they’re eligible to take part in fundraising and discussions about foundation disbursements. Another big family decision? “Who has to bring the food next year,” Ron Fletcher said. “They kind of elect you.” – Rob Nikolewski is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune house-made hot wing sauce. Even the ketchup and mayonnaise will be made on site. “It’s pub fare but it’s sophisticated,” he said. “It has some class to it.” But if there’s one dish that encapsulates Viewpoint, it’s the bao bun pretzels, which are already catching buzz from San Diego’s food and beer bloggers. Is it the German classic that Planter learned from Chef Martin Woesle at Mille Fleurs? Or is it the Asian staple inspired by Casey Thompson — she of Top Chef fame — while he was at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe? Yes to both. “It really does personify what we are,” Planter said.
