Protests held against two trustees BY KAREN BILLING Teachers, parents and community members put on a small protest before the San Dieguito Union High School District board meeting on July 14, calling out trustees Mo Muir and John Salazar for voting against the budget for the next school year. Bob Croft, San Dieguito Faculty Association president, led the “informational, peaceful, lawful picketing” on the sidewalk in front of the district office on Encinitas Boulevard. Posters read that Salazar and Muir fail to understand critical district issues, voted against fiscal solvency and have “undermined and driven out” key district leadership. “It is dangerous, irresponsible leadership,” Croft said. “We’re concerned that their actions are harmful to the district, and it’s about time they are exposed to the greater community.” With an election upcoming, Croft said it is even more imperative to inform the community about Muir’s and Salazar’s actions. He said many voters are not connected to the schools and often vote by their political party’s recommendations.

SDUHSD $62 million bond sale a success BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union High School District completed the sale of $62 million in general obligation bonds on June 28, the third issuance of the $449 Prop AA approved by voters in 2012. “It is by every measure the most successful sale of all three general obligation bond series,” said Interim Superintendent Eric Dill at the July 14 board meeting. “Thanks to historically low interest rates and also the financial market flux related to the Brexit vote, there was quite a lot of demand for these bonds.” The bonds kept the same structure as the previous two series, with a term limit of 25 years and no capital SEE BOND, A24
BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District officially welcomed David Jaffe as its new superintendent July 14. His first official day will be Aug. 1. Jaffe comes to the RSF School District from Torrey Pines High School, where he was principal for the past three years. In his 20 years of education experience, Jaffe has served as an assistant principal at Diegueno Middle School and La Costa Canyon High, the founding principal at Canyon Crest Academy, and San Dieguito Union High School District’s executive director of curriculum and instruction.
After Jaffe was announced as a finalist June 13, RSF School District Board of Trustees President Tyler Seltzer said the response has been “overwhelmingly positive” and he is very happy with where they wound up after a nationwide superintendent search conducted by Leadership and Associates. “It was really heartening to see how thorough the process was and a delight to get to know you, David,” new trustee Scott Kahn said. “It made me smile to think that, as a board, you all put so much energy into it…and that’s how you came to having a candidate that is just going to be spectacular.” SEE JAFFE, A24

CDRC given 60 days RSF native makes first women’s Olympic rugby team to respond to independent review BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Covenant Design Review Committee (CDRC) has been asked to look over an independent review on its process, a report performed by Rick Engineering. At the July 7 RSF Association board meeting, RSF Association President Fred Wasserman made a recommendation for the report to go to the CDRC and Building Commissioner Robert Green for comment. The CDRC will be given 60 days to provide a response to the report, and the board will then make a decision on how to proceed. Rick Engineering was hired in fall 2015 to evaluate the CDRC’s process, the Covenant and Rancho Santa Fe history, design guidelines and regulations. The consultants gathered perceptions on the process through interviews with customers, both positive and negative,”and arrived at and made” conclusions on how to approach possible issues. The report was not discussed at the July 12 CDRC meeting, as the committee reviewed a variety of projects. According to Green, this year is shaping up to be the second highest volume of projects reviewed — already they have reviewed 374 applications, and they are projecting to see slightly over 700 in all. Since 2000, the CDRC has reviewed 8,023 building applications and only two percent have gone on to mediation, a total of 165 projects. In the last 16 years, there have been only three appeals to the board and none since 2003.

Solana Beach School Board declares intention to form SFID BY KRISTINA HOUCK In preparing for a potential general obligation bond on the November ballot, the Solana Beach School Board on July 14 declared its intention to form a school facilities improvement district. There is a standing agreement between the school district and land developer Pardee Homes that precludes the district from including two neighborhoods in a bond initiative. The development agreements, which date back to 1998 and
2004, contain language that limits certain elections and tax measures until 10 years after the last building permit has been issued. “These types of clauses and mitigation agreements are very uncommon,” noted attorney Robert Anslow of Bowie, Arneson, Wiles & Giannone. “Pardee’s not done yet,” he said. “The 10-year clock won’t even run until they pull the permit and sell the last unit. Then you count 10 years down the road. That
could easily be well into the 2020s or even into 2030.” Therefore, in order to move forward with a bond measure, the district needs to form a school facilities improvement district, or SFID, over all of the district’s territory other than the Pardee properties in Carmel Valley. “We are essentially creating a map of our school district boundaries without those two areas,” Superintendent Terry Decker SEE DISTRICT, A24

North County paralympian Perkins headed to Rio BY ROB LEDONNE One of North County’s very own is headed down to Rio de Janeiro. Twenty-six-year-old swimmer Roy Perkins is gearing up for his third trip to the Paralympics after making the cut after early June trials in Charlotte, North Carolina. For Perkins, a graduate of La Jolla’s The Bishop’s School, it’s just the latest coup in a long career made all the more impressive by the fact that the star swimmer was born without hands or feet. “I started out simply needing to learn how to swim,” Perkins said of his humble pool beginnings, speaking from his apartment in Del Mar. “I ended up liking it and got together with my current coach.” What began as a hobby turned into a passion after Perkins made it to his first Paralympic trials in 2004 when he was just 12 years old. “I didn’t make it, but it was really encouraging to get as far as I did.” By the 2008 games in Beijing, Perkins was ready to dominate and wound up winning gold for Team USA in the S5 men’s 50-meter butterfly, an experience he remembers as an overwhelming one. “It’s a blur at this point,” he says of the momentous occasion when he won gold. “It seems like so long ago and a lot has happened since then. Sometimes I forget it even happened.” Perhaps the reason Perkins has a cloudy memory of 2008 is because he’s been collecting an incredible list of accolades
since. He’s currently ranked number one in the world in the 50-meter butterfly and has the distinction of holding a top 10 ranking in four other events. Incredibly, with the exception of the backstroke, Perkins also has every U.S. record in the S5 and SM5 divisions under his belt. That’s not to mention the fact that Perkins was also a standout swimmer for Stanford University (he’s headed back there to continue his studies after Rio) and in 2006 the San Diego Hall of Champions honored him with the Challenged Athlete Star of the Year. All of those accolades don’t come easy, however. While in San Diego, Perkins typically trains in Fairmount Village at City Heights Recreation Center. Leading up to Rio, he’s currently on a grueling six-day-a-week schedule. “I’m in the pool for about two hours a day for five days a week,” he says of his regime. “Then I’ll do weight training twice a week and run once or twice a week at my house.” Throughout it all, Perkins points to the support from both his longtime coach and parents for his success in the water. “The coach I’ve been with has been a huge part of my career,” he says. “My parents are also extremely supportive. They come to all of my competitions. I couldn’t have done anything without them.” When Perkins leaves for Rio in late August and competes in early September, his goal, above all, is to take home the gold

Supervisor Dave Roberts adopts sixth child BY KRISTINA HOUCK City Councilman. Mayor. County Supervisor. These are a few of the titles Dave Roberts has held over the years. To his family, however, the supervisor is simply known as “Daddy Dave.” And he and his husband Wally Oliver, known to their children as “Daddy Wally,” recently officially adopted their sixth child. “All the kids are doing well,” Roberts said with a big smile during an interview at the Oliver-Roberts home in Solana Beach. “As you can tell, we have a full life, and now Manny makes six.” Oliver and Roberts always dreamed of having children, but never imagined they would one day have a family of eight, including the couple. “We never thought we’d have a large family,” said Roberts, who only has one sibling. The pair have been partners for nearly 20 years. Roberts worked as a budget analyst for the Department of Defense, but was working as a corporate vice president for defense contractor SAIC when he met Oliver, a third-generation San Diegan and retired Air Force master sergeant, at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, in 1997. He remembered spotting Oliver, who at the time was working at the Pentagon, during a visit to the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense. Oliver was holding a book Roberts had written. “I jokingly asked him, ‘Would you like me to autograph that book?’” recalled Roberts,

Three years later, they welcomed their second son, Alexander, into their home. He was 3. The couple’s children were all their foster children whom they chose to adopt.

Their third experience in adopting resulted in litigation, which they eventually won. Julian had initially been removed from his home due to domestic violence. “Domestic violence just keeps growing and growing, and sometimes, the victim keeps going back,” Oliver said. “That was the case.” In 2009, the couple began preparing to adopt Julian.

He did not hesitate when asked if the couple would welcome Julian’s younger half-siblings into their home. “We wanted to make sure that they stayed together,” said Oliver, now a stay-at-home dad who also manages the couple’s real estate management company from home. At the time, Joseph was 23 months old. Natalee wasn’t even 1 year old. With no car seats, highchairs or cribs, Oliver called friends and family for help. “I learned right then and there that it really does take a village,” Oliver said. With his family nearly doubling in size, Roberts dropped out of the race for the 50th Congressional District. “It was just overwhelming, but we quickly adjusted and got everybody on track and figured out a routine,” Roberts said. The biological mother eventually had another baby, today known as Manny. In the beginning, she allowed the infant to stay overnight at the Oliver-Roberts house twice so he could get to know his siblings. “We knew sooner or later we would get this kid,” Roberts said.

Auto dealer's philanthropy a pact with God Bob Baker has given millions to Catholic, veteran and homeless outreach groups BY PAM KRAGEN ixty-three years ago, Bob Baker was a young Army corporal stationed at Outpost Harry during the Korean War when he embarked on what his commanders warned would be a suicide mission. When he ended up in the middle of a minefield during the night patrol for Chinese soldiers, he decided it was a good time to make a deal with God. “I told him, if he spared me that night, I would go home, get married, have six children, become a success and do whatever he wanted me to do,” Baker said. “With all the millions of dollars I’ve given away over the years, I believe that’s what God wanted me to do.” During the past 10 years, the founder of San Diego’s Bob Baker Auto Group has donated from $500,000 to $1.7 million a year for projects that have included Catholic churches and schools, programs for military veterans and underwriting for Solutions for Change, a nonprofit that helps get North County homeless families off the streets. Baker, 84, said he’s drawn to causes where he feels a personal connection. The Rancho Santa Fe resident was homeless as a boy, his faith saw him through years of hardship, and he witnessed the horrors of war and knows how it can impact veterans trying to reintegrate into society. “Bob is a hands-on kind of donor,” said

When he was 10, his parents divorced and Bob spent the rest of his childhood in foster homes and boarding houses and on the streets. The only constants in his life were his faith and his grandmother, Monnie. “I credit her with saving me,” he said. “I don’t know what I would’ve done without her.” From ninth grade, his dream was to become a Catholic priest, but sons from divorced families weren’t allowed to enter the priesthood.

Retired local doctor helps foster youth get start in dentistry BY KRISTINA HOUCK ot long after Dr. Sherri Muchnick retired, she began looking for ways to give back to the community. That’s when the local resident learned about Just in Time for Foster Youth, a San Diego nonprofit that provides resources and support to young adults aging out of the foster care system. “I really loved the idea that these are transitioning foster youth,” said Muchnick, who worked as a marriage and family therapist, professor and consultant for 40 years before recently retiring. She continues to teach online courses at Capella University. “These are young people who have aged out of the system and are trying to get their lives started.” As a mother to two grown sons and a granddaughter, Muchnick knows first-hand just how much support young adults need to succeed. Often with little or no support, 40 to 50 percent of former foster youth become homeless within 18 months after emancipation, according to the Cities Counties Schools (CCS) Partnership, a collaborative effort of the California School Boards Association, California State Association of Counties and League of California Cities. In addition, only 1 to 3 percent of former foster youth go on to graduate from college, while 25 percent end up in prison within two years of emancipation, according to the CCS Partnership. “I know how much emotional support,
N
financial support and the kind of connections it takes for young people to get started, become responsible adults and find their way in the world,” Muchnick said. “These youths don’t have that type of support.” Muchnick first held a fundraising party at her home in support of Just in Time’s “My First Home for the Holidays” campaign. With support from the community, Just in Time transforms empty apartments into warm homes filled with new and gently-used furnishings through its My First Home program. Muchnick’s November 2015 fundraiser raised $1,700 in cash and gift cards in one night. She also collected a garage full of in-kind donations. “The response was so overwhelming,” Muchnick said. “It didn’t take a whole lot of effort to do, it was just a fun thing to do. People were just so generous.” Not long after, Muchnick volunteered with Just in Time on a Saturday, helping former foster youth “shop” and select free household items for their new homes. “It was so much fun and so exciting,” she recalled. “It was amazing.” Today, Muchnick serves as a mentor to Lahana Velez through Just in Time’s Career Horizons program. She signed on for a 10-month commitment to serve as a career coach not long after the New Year. “We were paired with each other, and I think it’s a really good match,” Muchnick said. “I’ve had a wonderful time working with her and I think she’s an amazing young woman.” Since signing up for the program,

Although Muchnick and Velez are only required to meet monthly to work on improving self-esteem, resume writing and interviewing skills, the pair often spend much more time together. Muchnick’s friends have also supported Velez. Known as “the aunties,” the local group of friends took Velez to the salon prior to her interview. They’ve also taught Velez how to cook, hooked up her computer and printer, and often schedule lunch dates. “They love her,” she said. “She’s so darling, you love her the minute you meet her.” Once homeless, today Velez currently studies at MiraCosta College, trains as a dental assistant and also works at a retail shop, in addition to her Just in Time commitments. “She’s learning a lot of things about herself,” Muchnick said. “It’s a big deal to have stability in her life. She’s done an amazing job.” Just in Time for Foster Youth is currently accepting volunteers for Career Horizons and other programs. To volunteer or donate, visit www.jitfosteryouth.org. “It takes a lot for a young person to get started, much more than people realize,” Muchnick said. “I’m a big believer that people have more strengths and more abilities than they realize,” she added. “If they can get some support and some direction, people do amazing things. So having the opportunity to work with young people and do that has been pretty amazing.”

Lahana Velez and Dr. Sherri Muchnick Muchnick has helped Velez further her career. After learning that the 23-year-old wanted to work as a dental assistant or dental hygienist, Muchnick contacted her dentist and asked if Velez could interview husband-and-wife team John Koett and Megan Olson. Instead, the Encinitas couple ended up interviewing Velez and today she works at Koett & Olson Dental three days a week. “It’s a very exciting beginning of her career

Rival CCA, TPHS wrestling coaches team up to build Carmel Valley club BY GIDEON RUBIN Early next year, they’ll engage in a fierce rivalry. But these days, Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest Academy’s wrestling teams are pals. Over the summer, the two teams have combined to form the Carmel Valley Rebels Wrestling Club (CVRWC), a startup that just launched in June. The club is the brainchild of Martin Brown and Connor Nesseler, the varsity head wrestling coaches at Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest Academy. The club aims to support the two upstart programs, capitalizing on the buzz the sport typically creates during an Olympic year. “We’re both competitors,” Brown said. “We both want to win league next year, there’s nothing hidden about that, but we’re friends, and what comes first is supporting each other and trying to get our kids to the next level and I think that translates down to our wrestlers.” So far the club has translated into greater interest in the sport during what typically has been a down period of the calendar year for the two upstart programs. The club has had about 30 participants at one point since launching in June, at the Torrey Pines gym. The club is is expected to move its mats to CCA next month. The programs hope to build on their success from last season. The Ravens had four wrestlers qualify for the Master’s tournament (a qualifying event for the state meet), and Torrey Pines two. The Ravens top wrestlers include twin brothers Greyson and Kenton Olep (both incoming seniors). Sophomore Peter “Pierre” Thomas is among the Falcons top returnees. The club is open to all area wrestlers from high school all the way down to third grade.

The rival coaches came up with the idea for the camp after last season and moved forward after getting the blessings of administrators at both schools. Brown said it’s important to have a wrestling program in Carmel Valley that allows wrestlers to have a home to wrestle in year round. “I don’t think the guys realize it, but the work they’ve put in the last six weeks and even the three months before with coach Connor with CCA, they’re really building,” Brown said. “They’re really starting to hone in on their skills and they’re conditioning. I think they’re going to be really surprised in the fall with the guys that we have here.” The club has already been represented at the

Poway High Summer Slam, one of the area’s most prestigious summer tournaments. The CVRWC will also compete at the Aug. 13-14 Battle on the Midway tournament, which will be held on the flight deck of the U.S. Midway. “I feel that getting the club started and having the kids that we have, we’re solidifying ourselves in the county as an area where successful wrestlers are going to start coming out of,” Brown said. “I feel that just having this and having a place where kids can go to wrestle and to continue to further themselves and gain knowledge of the sport is really going to pay dividends in the fall.” Brown hopes to get more middle schools kids involved in a sport that he believes teaches
athletes important life lessons. “It’s such a great character-builder, it builds confidence and character,” he said, noting that at some point all boys want to wrestle, even if it’s just grappling around with their brothers and rolling around. “It’s a sport that’s been around for centuries,” Brown said. “Wherever you go, there’s going to be some variation of wrestling. It’s just one of those things that I think is innate, and when young men do it I think they go through a transformation of getting that confidence, knowing that they can stand up for themselves and hold their ground, but it’s not an easy sport.” It is rewarding though. “When you do it and you love it, it’s something that you just don’t walk away from,” Brown said. “There’s something special about it, you’ll see it this summer with the Olympics.” Wrestling has enjoyed greater popularity during Olympic years. This year the sport has already gotten national coverage, with ESPN broadcasting the Olympic trials. “People start realizing and respecting how cool the sport is” during Olympic years, Brown said. It’s cool enough to get two rival coaches to work together on a program to help further the sport, which Brown acknowledges sends a message to wrestlers in both programs. “Here’s the deal, if they can work together there’s no reason we can’t work together to get better,” Brown said. “There’s a time and a place to try to rip each other’s heads off and it’s not now. We’re not here to hurt each other, we’re here to get better working all summer.”

TPHS cross country coach to step down after this season BY GIDEON RUBIN The routine goes back to the late 1980s. The five-hour bus ride through the Central Valley leaves Torrey Pines High at the crack of dawn. The frantic two-day state championship meet, held annually at Woodward Park in Fresno on Thanksgiving weekend, would sometimes end with exhilarating victories or deflating letdowns on other occasions. Distinguished high school careers would end, and underclassmen would emerge as stars. No matter what, Torrey Pines’ cross country runners, along with those throughout the state, would always give extraordinary efforts. Brent Thorne, the Falcons’ longtime cross country coach, will be on that bus for a 30th straight year in late November. And then, no more. Thorne later this year will officially announce his resignation from the program he led to its only state championship. “I do not know what Thanksgiving is like except waking up Friday morning and going to Fresno,” Thorne said. Thorne has coached hundreds of runners of varied abilities from the big hair era of the 1980s to the age of Pokemon Go. He turned the girls’ cross country team into a state power, finishing in the top in the state meet seven times, including a 2009 state championship. He took the boys’ team to 10 state meets. Many standouts, including Alli Billmeyer, Erin Gillingham, Megan Morgan, Matt Carpowich and Tal Braude, went on to run in

For most, competing on the cross country team at Torrey Pines was part of the high school experience that helped them develop the work ethic, maturity and discipline they’d bring to other pursuits. “I think he really, really, cares about all his kids, from the last kid on JV that’s just trying to run the whole race to the kid who’s winning titles,” said Julie Sawyer (Julie Komosinski when she ran for the Falcons in the late 1990s and early 2000s).”He really cares about all of them and he’s also really smart and he’s willing to evolve.”

Thorne leaves amid some disappointment and not entirely on his own terms. In 2011, Thorne said he was forced out of a role as the distance coach on the track and field team amid some personality conflicts with the person who succeeded Thorne when he stepped down as the head coach in 2007. Thorne said having separate distance and cross country coaches created a disconnect that led to the cross country program’s decline. “I can’t just be a half-time distance coach,” Thorne said. “It’s either all or nothing, and I think it’ll be better to be nothing.” Thorne noted that two of the area’s strongest programs, La Costa Canyon and Canyon Crest Academy, have cross country teams that are also coached by the track team’s distance coaches. “I’m just not happy with the whole situation,” Thorne said.”Being with them year-round or most of the year, we were able to make the whole program progress to what it was, and it was a barn-burner of a program.” Thorne said he’d like to see the program get its “barn-burner” luster back. He’ll spend his last season grooming assistant coach Kaitlin Hildebrand, his expected successor, a move that’s subject to administrative approval. “It’s time for me to mentor somebody and turn the program over” to them, Thorne said. “(The program) needs a shot in the arm and I can’t do it, I’m not able to do it any longer.” Thorne isn’t giving up the local high school coaching circuit entirely. He’ll coach CCA’s high jump team for a second season next spring, and expects to continue in that role on a year-to-year basis. Thorne admits walking away from a job he loves will be tough. He believes he can still evaluate and develop high school runners, and still gets goose bumps when the Olympic trials are televised. “I’m not over the hill,” he said. Perhaps one of Thorne’s greatest strengths is his adaptability, tempering his demands with the demands confronting the student athletes he’s coached. “It really shows how in tune he is with his athletes,” said Sawyer, who still runs competitively on the club circuit and is still
coached by Thorne. “He’s not just focusing on the training plans or maybe the science behind it, he’s really in tune with what works for his kids. He’s always willing to try something new to try to improve and find out what works.” Thorne found a formula that worked during the late 2000s. He believes the 2005 team that placed fourth in the state set the tone for the 2009 season, with the team of Gillingham, Ashlin Yahr, Ana Prim, Amanda Moore, Sophie Davidson, Jessie Bodenhamer and Brigitte Doctor defeating longtime nemesis LCC for the first time anyone could remember that year. The victory came at the San Diego Section finals, a week after the Falcons had lost a dual meet to LCC in heartbreaking fashion. “I remember walking up to the car at Kit Carson Park and (Amanda Moore) walks up to me and grabs my arm and says ‘coach, don’t worry. next week is going to be a totally different story’,” Thorne said. He had no idea. “Sure enough, at CIF they just ran LCC into the ground,” Thorne said. “It was a really hot day and LCC had a few girls who couldn’t finish. “At the end of the meet three or four of our girls were just strewn across the grass, throwing up, a couple of them really almost fainting.” Thorne considers that to be a breakthrough moment. The Falcons went on to win six straight section titles after that. It’s moments such as those that make Thorne’s decision to step away from the program difficult. But he said giving up coaching cross country will give him free time in the fall he hasn’t experienced in decades. A trip to Europe with his wife and daughter is already in the works, he said. “Will I miss coaching distances? Of course I will, but as I always say to anybody, in any situation, there’s pluses and minuses to any situation, so the plus side of not coaching cross country is it’s an incredible time of year and my wife and I are both a little more into traveling than when we were in the classroom coaching. “We’re going to have more time off and we’re going to take advantage of it.”

IAN RUTHERFORD/USA TODAY SPORTS
Phil Mickelson watches his chip shot on the third hole Sunday. Mickelson finished second in the British Open despite a final-round 65.
Phil has no time to brood Peeling off the three layers of clothing in Scotland’s “ summer” and reflecting on one of the greatest British Opens ever contested …
BY TOD LEONARD or better or worse, Phil Mickelson will not have much time to stew about what will be remembered as one of the most confounding major losses of his career. He shot 63 in the first round and 65 in the last and still lost the 145th Open Championship by three shots to Swede Henrik Stenson, who played out of his mind. In a schedule squeezed together because of next month’s Rio Olympics, Mickelson and the rest of golf ’s nomads will convene next week in New Jersey for the PGA Championship. It was at Baltusrol Golf Club in 2005 that Mickelson beefed up his majors resume, capturing the PGA a year after winning his first Masters. If you remember, weather delays forced a Monday finish, and Mickelson got up-and-down with a flop shot and beat Steve Elkington and Thomas Bjorn by one shot. Twelve years older now, at 46, Mickelson has five majors— three Masters, one PGA, one British— but his opportunities for legitimate shots at championships are dwindling, which is why Sunday’s defeat at Royal Troon was so painful. When Mickelson missed making history with a 62 on Thursday, the San Diegan was disappointed, but upbeat. On Sunday evening, he looked weary and predictably deflated. Of the quick turnaround for the PGA, which might not seem ideal, Mickelson said, “It doesn’t give me a chance to take time off per se. It forces me to keep my game sharp.” Mickelson will get little downtime. He said he will be in Jersey City on Wednesday to promote the Teachers Academy for which he’s partnered with Exxon Mobil. While there, he’ll get in his early preparation work at Baltusrol. “I’ve got a lot of special memories going back
F
to Baltusrol in ’05, and probably we don’t have a month to wait between majors is a good thing for me,” Mickelson said. “I’ll try to look at the positives and take that into Baltusrol, and keep my game sharp over the next week or two, as opposed to going home and taking some time off.” The appreciation for Mickelson’s accomplishments at Troon should be considerable. Had he won, he would have become the fourth oldest major winner and the second oldest in the Open behind “Old” Tom Morris. That’s remarkable company. “He’s unique at 46,” said Colin Montgomerie, who is 53. “He’s still extremely competitive. You wouldn’t have said Tom Watson was competitive on the U.S. tour (at 46). Phil Mickelson is. And that’s why he’s here. His short game the first two days was quite phenomenal.” Mickelson darkly joked Sunday night about the shots that didn’t fall. Everyone has them, but his from Troon are memorable. Beyond his birdie putt for 62 lipping out Thursday, there was the wonderful pitch over a bunker at No. 2 on Sunday that spun out of the hole. At 15, Mickelson’s eagle putt dived less than an inch from the cup. Those are three shots that if made, get him into a tie with Stenson. Less dramatic were the very makeable putts Mickelson missed on Sunday’s front nine. Where does it rank? With such a fantastic finish, this Open’s fourth round will be remembered with some of the other great ones. The Scottish Sun tabloid immediately put 2016 at the top, followed by 1977’s “Duel in the Sun” at Turnberry, when Tom Watson shot 65 in the fourth round to beat Jack Nicklaus by one. The others: Paul Lawrie shooting 67 to overtake the collapsing Jean van de Velde in 1999; Seve Ballesteros scoring 65 for a victory in 1988; and Greg Norman’s closing 64 that beat Nick Faldo in SEE PHIL, A26

KELLEY CARLSON
She’s Not Here won this year’s Grade II, $200,000 Yellow Ribbon Handicap by a neck over Fresh Feline.
Yellow Ribbon Handicap winner BY KELLEY CARLSON Graded stakes action kicked off last Saturday at Del Mar with a title defense by She’s Not Here in the Grade II, $200,000 Yellow Ribbon Handicap. The 5-year-old mare captured this year’s edition by a neck over Fresh Feline (pictured), while favorite Nancy From Nairobi finished a half-length behind in third. The 5-year-old She’s Not Here covered the 1 1/16 miles on the grass in 1:42.70, and gave jockey Drayden Van Dyke his first graded stakes win at the track. “I spoke to Phil Oliver (a trainer himself and husband of She’s Not Here’s trainer Vicki Oliver) on the phone about an hour before the race,” Van Dyke said. “He told me to get her out of there and see if I could lay fourth or fifth – then get her to relax. He
said she had been training great, had a good kick, and liked the track. So I rode to orders, and it all worked out great. This place (Del Mar) is one of my favorite racetracks, so to win a graded race here is special.” She’s Not Here is owned by G. Watts Humphrey Jr. and the St. George Farm Racing stable of Ian Banwell. Also on Saturday’s card was the $77,900 Wickerr Stakes, won by Toowindytohaulrox. Sunday’s stakes victors were Midnight Storm in the Grade II, $250,000 Eddie Read Stakes, and Barleysugar in the $85,425 Sandy Blue Handicap. Among those expected to race during the next week at Del Mar is the nation’s top-ranked runner, California Chrome, who is entered in the Grade II, $200,000 San Diego Handicap on Saturday.

RSF Attack B99 Academy wins Seattle Cup U19 Division The RSF Attack B99 Academy boys team visited Seattle last weekend to test themselves against select teams in the Seattle Cup hosted by Seattle United. Despite being moved up a Division “because they are from Southern California,” the team went undefeated through the weekend and went on to win the U19 division. The Attack team
faced three teams from the Seattle area and beat Mt. Rainier Futbol Club in the Finals after playing them to a 1 to 1 tie in a very physical pool play game. The Attack Academy team dominated possession throughout the tournament and took advantage of set plays and penalty shots to outscore opponents 7-2.

October 2007 is still fresh in our minds with a firestorm that swept through parts of RSF destroying many homes and buildings in its path and we all were on alert and many evacuated for days.

wo years ago, our lacrosse team decided that we wanted to participate in the WSYL (World Series of Youth Lacrosse), a tournament that, like the Little League World Series, is only available to 13-year- olds. The rules state that all players must live within 100 miles of their home field, so every week for two years our boys practiced in Orange County with teammates from Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange County. This is a tournament that you need to qualify for, and so we played a few months back in Orange County and won the tournament, which gave us the No. 1 seed in the West. This article is about fight, grit, determination, bonding, coaching and, most of all, family. When you sign up for club sports, you may or may not know
what you are in for. And once in a while, you get something really special. Our team found something special and, win or lose, it was one of the greatest rides we’ve been on. There were so many special “Mad Dog Moments” on this trip: Team parties that were put together at the last minute with serious improvising, i.e., keeping drinks cold by putting them in the icy Colorado river; a breakfast place in a small town that refused to make my friend’s son a smoothie because they were just tired of making smoothies that day; 10 p.m. curfew and snapchats from the coach to be sure the boys were in “really” in bed; ice baths; sewing on patches in-between games thanks to some very crafty moms; constant water runs; boots on cars; and one of our
as your neighboring properties. While the Fire Department is giving out citations and fines to help to clean-up the situation, please do not wait to be cited, it may come too late. I know we all love our trees but if they are dead or dying they are a dangerous liability and should be removed. Also don’t forget the dead palm and tree branches, dry leaves, pine needles and debris nearby our homes. Call it summer clean-up time and then we all will feel a lot better about doing our part to help get us through another dangerous fire season in RSF. Marion Dodson
players winning the fastest shot competition with a 100 mph shot. When the day finally arrived and the tournament started, the boys met at the ESPN tent for “car wash” interviews, and then the games began by 9:15 a.m. We were winning early on, but every game was a fight. The ultimate prize in this tournament was getting to play at the Sports Authority Field, where the Denver Broncos play, being on ESPN2 and getting tons of new gear from helmets, to gloves, pads and new uniforms. Let’s be honest, the new swag put it over the top for the boys. In the quarter finals against an incredible team from Bethesda, Maryland, we were down 7-2, and made an awesome comeback to win the game 12-11 in overtime. The semifinal was Monday, July 4 at 8 a.m. They went into that game, exhausted, as did every other team there, but ready to grab the dream. The boys came out hard and were ahead the entire time. My only concern that morning was how to find the “South East” gate at the Sports Authority stadium later that afternoon for the big dance. We were playing a team from Long Island (our nemesis, and a team we had beaten earlier in the week), and in the fourth
quarter, they made a comeback and beat us by 2 points. It’s a moment in time that I will never forget. The tears just flowed. The emotion and exhaustion at that point, after having won 16 games in a row, was enormous. There were no words to console anyone...just sadness and then silence from the team. Later that day, the boys had to meet at the stadium to march on the field, along with all the other teams, for ESPN. The team that beat us was so classy. If you know me, then you know how strongly I feel about sportsmanship. The team that beat us, Igloo Black Ice, turned around and shook all of our boys’ hands and told them how incredible they were. The tears started spilling again. As I look back at the lessons learned over the past few weeks, here are just a few: Sportsmanship, attitude, perseverance, hard work, fun and family all played a huge part in their success. On the morning of our semifinal, the better team won. That’s what makes sports so exciting. In the end, who wants it more? Who is willing to work even harder to achieve their dream?

Running ’Round the World
MS won’t stop local resident from being first to run marathons on seven continents BY ASHLEY MACKIN o raise awareness and money for the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, local resident Cheryl Hile will run seven marathons on seven continents in 12 months. Amazing in and of itself, the effort is made even more so because Hile was diagnosed with MS herself in 2006, and would be the first person in history to complete the feat. “500 people worldwide have run seven marathons on seven continents, but nobody with MS has done it,” she said. “At least not publicly.” But the trip around the world won’t be cheap, so Hile is in the fundraising stage to cover travel expenses, and any extra money raised will go to the MS Society. Running one marathon a month, with the occasional month in between to rest, she explained, “I start in September in Cape Town, South Africa; in October I go to Buenos Aires, Argentina; in November I rest; in December I go to Honolulu; in January I go to Antarctica; in February I go to Tokyo; in March I rest; in April I go to Austria; and I’ll finish in Christchurch, New Zealand in June.” To boot, the date scheduled for the New Zealand race is also Hile’s birthday. To complete the collective 183.4 miles, Hile will rely on a flexible carbon-fiber support brace called an Ankle Foot Orthotic (AFO) as her MS has limited the use of her right side. An auto-immune disease that attacks the central nervous system, symptoms of MS commonly affect one’s ability to move. Rick Griffin, on behalf of the National MS Society, explained, “Affecting more than 2.3 million people worldwide, MS is an unpredictable, often disabling neurological disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and the rest of the body. Symptoms vary
T
Cheryl Hile after a recent San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon La Jolla resident Cheryl Hile (pictured at the San Diego County Fair 5K) uses an Ankle Foot Orthotic to help her run without full function in her legs due to Multiple Sclerosis (MS). from person to person and range from numbness and tingling, to walking difficulties, fatigue, dizziness, pain, depression, blindness and paralysis. … These symptoms might be permanent, or they might come and go.” Already a marathon runner, Hile said she felt discouraged and depressed when she was diagnosed. “I started tripping and falling while running, but didn’t want to give it up. When I talked to my neurologist, she said it was a common problem and that I should lower my standards, which to be honest, pissed me off,” she said. Unwilling to give up, and with the AFO, Hile continued to run. To date, she has completed 49 marathons — many with husband Brian by her side. “He actually got me into
running, he was already a marathon runner and he would come home, sore and barely able to walk, and I wanted to know what that felt like,” she said, and she started training. Finding herself quickly addicted to the “runner’s high” and loving the travel opportunities associated with marathons, Hile made it a regular part of her life. Because running is her motivator and “keeps me going,” Hile encourages those who are newly diagnosed to find a passion to keep them going. “When you are first diagnosed, you are going to go through depression ... you need something else to focus on rather than the disease,” she said. “One of the mistakes I made was Googling ‘Multiple Sclerosis’ to find so many terrible and terrifying forums. I hated when people told me to be positive, but it’s true. Be positive, be grateful for what you have and it will get you through. Focus on the good.” Using the time spent running in marathons for a little self-healing
positive imagery, she added, “A marathon is really long, so a lot of things go through my head. The first half is about enjoying the scenery and the crowd. It’s usually a destination run, so I like seeing that. When I start to get tired, I do a little mantra. I focus on the word ‘pathway,’ I’m telling my brain to create new neural pathways. I try to focus on a word or two with each footstep. After that, toward the last mile or two, I perk back up again and focus on the surroundings.” To further encourage those with MS — newly diagnosed or not — and raise funds for the MS Society, she will embark on her worldwide adventure. Rich Israel, MS Pacific South Coast Chapter president, said the proceeds will be huge for the Society, as they are heavily reliant on fundraising events, such as bike and walk challenges. “We are thrilled to be the beneficiaries of Cheryl’s fundraiser. People like Cheryl are changing the world for people with MS in multiple ways,” he said.

The mission of the MS Society is three-fold: raise money to ultimately end MS, offer help for those affected by MS and support advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill. “Our core mission is raising enough money to fund the most promising research we can to not only stop MS in its tracks, but restore what’s been lost by those with MS. We also help those living with MS, including care providers and families, not just those diagnosed. Lastly, we invest in efforts to leverage our work through advocacy in Washington, D.C. and the State capital. We advocate for more than just money, but things that can have a favorable impact,” he explained. Hile launched a website to blog about her experience: cherylhile.com and a separate crowd-funding website to raise funds, and said she would also accept donations of hotel vouchers, air miles and race registration with proceeds going to the MS Society: bit.ly/cherylhile ■ On the Web: nationalmssociety.org
Beach polo to take place at Hotel Del Coronado

Polo America has partnered with Hotel del Coronado to present Beach Polo. On Sept. 3 and 4, 12 polo players and 50 horses will take to the beach. This is the first time beach polo has been played on the West Coast. Coronado has a long history with polo dating to the early 1900s. The famous Spreckels Cup was first played in Coronado in 1909 as the Polo Challenge. Times may have changed, but the polo action has not. It is just as thrilling today to watch the polo
players and horses travel at 35 mph trying to score a goal. The spectacle of polo, the historic Hotel Del and the ocean make the perfect backdrop for a memorable weekend. Attendees will be treated to two polo games each day, a meet and greet wine reception with the players, a gourmet lunch provided by Hotel del Coronado, a fashion show by Grayse, hat contest and more. The 10,000-square-foot VIP tent consists of three terraces. The first terrace, “Millionaire’s Row,” consists of 15 lounges with white leather couches and chairs. Food and cocktail service is available. The second
terrace is formal dining for 400 people. Luncheon provided by Hotel del Coronado. The third terrace is “Polo Village,” which features boutiques from Hotel del Coronado, Ermenegildo Zegna, Grayse, Porsche of San Diego, Silver Seas Yachts, Polo America, Coronado Tourism Improvement District, among others.

appreciation bonds were sold as per board policy. The terms will stay within the estimated tax rate of $25 per $100,000 of assessed value. The district has now issued a total of $339,040 of the voter-authorized $449 million. Dill said as they look at projects to be funded by “series C” bonds, the focus is on academics and long-overdue projects. In the north-end, two middle schools will get some attention with new science classrooms at Oak Crest and Diegueno. “Rooms will be refurbished and modernized to bring them on par with classrooms at Pacific Trails and what you’re going to see at Earl Warren,” Dill said. “We’ll have some consistently great science classrooms throughout the district.” With this issuance of bonds, the district has also set aside funds for a second classroom building at Pacific Trails. The district is having the building designed now and is set to get it approved by the Division of State Architects so when the district sees the development happening out in the Pacific Highlands Ranch area, it will be ready to go and meet the needs for future students. Dill said perhaps the biggest project funded by this round of bonds is the long-awaited performing arts center at Torrey Pines High School — replacing the black box Torrey Pines has had for 42 years. Construction on the new performing arts center is expected to begin in winter 2017. On July 14, the San Diego Taxpayer’s Educational Foundation released its 2016 School District Transparency Scorecard, which rates how well districts provide information to taxpayers on school bond fund spending and oversight. SDUHSD and its independent citizens oversight committee received a perfect 100 percent score.

Croft said Salazar often says his decisions are based on supporting taxpayers, but Croft said it should be noted that taxpayers supported Prop AA and have welcomed projects such as new science classrooms at Torrey Pines High School. “To delay construction is defying the will of the taxpayers,” Croft said. “They’re doing a disservice to this district.” In December, both Salazar and Muir voted against the agreement for the two-story CCA building, now under construction. Salazar was not present at the May 12 board meeting in which the guaranteed maximum price was voted on for the CCA building, but Muir did vote against it. In November 2015, Salazar and Muir voted against the Torrey Pines classrooms due to the construction company’s contribution to the Prop AA campaign. In March 2015, Muir voted

Both voted against the increase in salaries. In response to the protestors questioning his vote against the 2016-17 budget, Salazar said he would make his “very sane” “no” vote on the budget again if he was given the opportunity. “I am actually very glad that the organized union boss and his members came out and protested my and Mrs. Muir’s ‘no’ vote on the budget because it shines a light on the fact that we have an unsustainable school budget,” Salazar said in a statement. “We are nearly $7 million in the red, and in two years (unless we change course) our district will be bankrupt.” He said his fellow board members who voted for raises did not recognize that the district did not have the funds to pay for them. “Organized labor only care about themselves (those that pay union dues) and not the students or the taxpayers,” Salazar said. “I represent everyone in our district and will be voting ‘no’ again on any similar deficit budget. I hope the voters pay attention this November and only support a candidate who supports a balanced budget.” In response to Salazar’s comments, President Beth Hergesheimer said San Dieguito has been “very conservative” in its
Jaffe was the new superintendent, but the board wants to make sure they set him up to be absolutely successful by providing the resource and mentorship of Delaney. Delaney was emotional in what would be her last time leading the school board meeting. She fought through tears to make a statement at the conclusion of the meeting, thanking school boards past and present for allowing her to serve. “It’s been such a highlight of my life, it’s been such a big part of my life. I’ve loved it,” Delaney said. Delaney was first hired as a teacher in 1986 by
Dr. R. Roger Rowe and spent 30 years as a teacher, coach and administrator. At the meeting, she thanked the district’s legal counsel Richard Currier and John Stiker, a RSF School District board member at the time, for talking her into being superintendent in 2004 because she didn’t know if she could do the job.

Decker, however, cautioned board members against viewing those homeowners as lost voters. “They won’t be voting one way or the other. They also won’t be taxed,” he said. “They are not a part of the election. Some of them, based on polling, would have been pro, and some of them would have been con. It simply means that that’s a group of voters, a group of

Following the public hearing, the school board will decide whether to establish the SFID. If the SFID is formed, the board will also be able to call a general obligation bond election at the meeting.

budget calculations. “It is our job to actually spend available funds providing district students with an education in safe, modern facilities. Some years we spend more than our current revenue, but we are prepared to do that because we have solid reserves from prior year revenues,” Hergesheimer said. “Current multi-year projections show the district with approximately $9 million in reserves in two years, over double the required state minimum reserves. We fully expect those reserves to be even better than projected.” Some from the protest attended the board meeting, although they did not bring in the signs. Protester Tim Staycer, a Torrey Pines High School teacher, spoke up during public comment about Muir’s “inaccurate rhetoric” misrepresenting class size averages increasing. He said despite her being corrected and given accurate information, she continued to use increased class sizes as her justification to vote against the budget. “It is shameful that Muir continues to shirk her responsibility to be an informed school board member and that she continues to misrepresent such important information,” Staycer said.“Had that irresponsible, misinformed vote carried the day, it literally would have resulted in shutting down the district financially. Both Muir and Salazar should be ashamed for their willingness to hurt the district in this
manner.” The board members remained silent after his comments as they are not allowed to engage in discussion during public comment. “It’s unfortunate that the teacher’s union is speaking out against fiscal responsibility and sustainable best management practices,” Muir said in a statement after the meeting. “It appears that they don’t understand that deficit spending is not a prudent or responsible way to prepare a budget. I couldn’t support a plan or budget that doesn’t adequately address the district’s significant financial shortfall, while increasing class size.” While district staff have reiterated that class sizes will not increase and are at historically low levels, Muir said that the verbiage of class size in the teachers’ contract changed from a “maximum” of 38 students to an “average” of 38 students, and her interpretation is that there is a big difference between those two words. “I’m not, nor have I ever been, a rubber-stamp board member. I don’t believe the board majority has ever voted against the teachers or staff,” Muir said. “Although I respect the teachers, I believe it’s my job to ask the tough questions and find real solutions to real challenges that face the district.”

FROM JAFFE, A24 tenure —overseeing the complete financing, development, construction and modernization of the new R. Roger Rowe campus. Delaney credited the RSF Education Foundation, one of the most successful of its kind in the country, for all of the things they provide that make the school a nice place to be —”whether supporting robotics or planning the Halloween carnival” - some of her most cherished memories. “It is that common goal of doing things together on behalf of the kids,” she said of the district’s partnership with the foundation and all of the volunteers that truly care. Delaney acknowledged how making the school run smoothly was a real “community effort, thanking the RSF Association and “especially” RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser and his officers for making sure they are safe, and RSF Foundation Executive Director Christy Wilson and the RSF Foundation. Delaney thanked the staff for working “tirelessly” to provide great education, the great families and the fun students. “Richard (Currier) and Kendal (Swanson)… no words,”said Delaney choking up mentioning the district’s two legal counsels.
FROM ROBERTS, A6 Manny, who cried when he left the family. “I couldn’t go because it just tore my heart out,” Oliver said. Manny’s visits stopped, but months later, Roberts received a call at work. Manny had been staying with friends of the biological family and they asked him to pick up the child. That same day, they brought Manny home, immediately reporting the incident. “That started the odyssey that led up to the formal adoption 21 months later,” Roberts said. Oliver and Roberts officially adopted Manny, now 3 years old, on July 8. After the ceremony, the children brought court into session in Judge Timothy Freer’s courtroom. “It felt good after all this,” Roberts said. “It’s been a long road.” Bursting with energy, Manny played catch and with poi balls, a scooter and bicycle during a roughly one-hour interview. After running around the backyard and talking about his family and toys, the healthy and happy boy asked “Daddy Dave” to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. From school recitals to sports, the Oliver-Roberts family is a typical, very busy American family. Like his father Oliver, Robert is serving in the Air Force. The soon-to-be 21-year-old is also marrying his fiancée next week. Alex, 15, is a junior at Torrey Pines High School, where he plays rugby. The other children, 12-year-old Julian, 8-year-old Joe, 7-year-old Natalee and 3-year-old Manny all have busy summers as well. Julian is a leader-in-training at Solana Beach’s Summer Day Camp, where Natalee also attends. Joe is attending vacation bible school with a friend. Finally, Manny attends the Solana Beach Child Development Center a few days a week. “I just feel blessed to have our family,” Roberts said. “Each day is an adventure.” With his experience and knowledge of the foster care and adoption in San Diego County, Roberts aims to improve the system. “One of the reasons I wanted to be a

Outgoing RSF Superintendent Lindy Delaney and new Superintendent David Jaffe. “You have been there to protect the district and to protect me.” Last, but definitely not least, she thanked her assistant Sandi Nissel, whom she said was absolutely “irreplaceable.” “David, enjoy. I hope you have as great a run, as I did,” Delaney said to Jaffe. “I’m going to be there to support you any way I can. I know the board approved five months, but you have me forever if you need anything.” supervisor is to make the program work for families and try to remove some of the stumbling blocks,” he said. In 2013, Roberts teamed up with fellow Supervisor Greg Cox to spearhead the Exceptional Families Adoption Campaign, which complements San Diego County’s existing adoption and foster-parent recruitment efforts. “If the child is going to move from foster care to adoption, make it as seamless as possible so that we can find permanency as quickly as possible and the child can get into a forever family as quickly as possible,” Roberts said. At any given time, approximately 30 foster children are awaiting a permanent adoptive placement, according to the campaign’s website. These children range in age from infants to teenagers, come from diverse ethnic backgrounds, and belong to sibling groups who need to be placed together. The campaign aims to increase awareness about the need for adoptive families, who may themselves be “less-traditional” like the Oliver-Roberts family, or who are willing to adopt children who are in sibling groups that want to stay together or who have behavioral, developmental, psychological or medical needs. “It’s been very successful,” Roberts said. “We’re really pleased with that.” The county has also brought its informational booth back to the San Diego County Fair, which is how Roberts and Oliver learned about the county’s programs years ago. Roberts is also an advocate of Voices for Children, a San Diego-based nonprofit that recruits, trains and supervises volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). CASAs advocate for the rights and well-being of children living in San Diego County’s foster care system. “Every child deserves a loving home,” Roberts said.

There were a number of other talented Scandinavian male golfers who came before him, but none had been able to close a major.

William Burton Bettles november 23, 1920 - June 21, 2016
Rancho Santa Fe — William Burton Bettles, WWII veteran and co-founder of Glazebrook and Bettles, the real estate development company based in La Jolla, died June 21st in his home in Rancho Santa Fe. the larger than life “Wild Bill”, along with Ken Glazebrook, was responsible for building many custom homes and commercial properties in La Jolla, Pacific Beach and coronado, in addition to the first air-conditioned shopping center in california. Bill went on to build and develop properties in Rancho Santa Fe, carlsbad, San antonio, Dallas and Utah with his wife, Jonelle. Bill was one of two children of alec and Lillian Bettles, born in Reno, nevada, and raised in oakland, california. Bill joined the navy in WWII, serving in the South Pacific. he married Jean Wilhelm and moved to La Jolla where they had their first home on Dolphin Place. Jean died in 1996 and his daughter, Sue, died april 1, 2016. Surviving are their children, Barbara St John, tom Bettles, Steve Bettles, Jeanne o’Leary, carol Murphy and Dave Bettles. Bill married Jonelle Bettles in 1967. Surviving are Jonelle and her daughters, Kathy Sessions
styles of the R&A with those of the U.S. Golf Association, which stages the U.S. Open. “I think the R&A sets the golf course up to be as fair as possible and to try to kind of identify who the best player is regardless of what the score is given the conditions and so forth,” he said. “Sometimes it’s 20 under. Sometimes people don’t get that many under par. But the fact is if somebody plays some incredible golf, that’s what it should do. You shouldn’t have to mess with the course too much to try to control the score. “The USGA has it in their mind that the score needs to be par, so no matter what lines they have to cross to get there, that’s got to be the standard, and it kind of disregards and doesn’t take into account the difference in talent level and abilities that the players of today now have.” Mickelson said he prefers the British Open style. “I think we all enjoyed it,” he said. “But I’m also biased because I’ve won this one and I haven’t won the other one, so I’ve got that working against me.” Tod Leonard is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

management. Then in 1965, he moved his family to Indiana, where he bought a share in his first dealership with their life savings and a $20,000 loan from his mother-in-law. Just three years later, he was able to buy out his partners. Over the next decade, he grew his business to more than 25 dealerships in California and Indiana, but the bicoastal business put a strain on his wife, who was raising their five children mostly alone. In 1977, they returned to San Diego and he sold all of the dealerships that were more than 100 miles from their home in Rancho Santa Fe. At its peak, the Bob Baker Auto Group had $450 million in sales, but there were hard times ahead for Baker, both financially and emotionally. When he tried to combine his Chrysler and Ford franchises at one dealership in the 1980s, he spent eight years in a legal battle with Chrysler. Much worse was to come. In August 2009, a family of four was killed while riding in a loaner car from Baker’s Lexus dealership in El Cajon. Baker said he was devastated by the deaths, which occurred when the car’s accelerator pedal became stuck and the car raced out of control. Family members of the victims — CHP Officer Mark Saylor, his wife, daughter and brother-in-law — sued Baker and Toyota for wrongful death. Local and federal investigations found that improperly installed floor mats in the Lexus model could cause the gas pedal to stick. Since then, Toyota has recalled 10 million cars for repairs and has paid more than $1 billion in fines and lawsuits. Baker paid an undisclosed sum to relatives of the Saylors last March and he is still in litigation with Toyota. Baker called the Saylor tragedy one of the lowest points of his life. It happened when he was going through a series of personal losses. In 2008, he battled prostate cancer, lost his brother (and fellow auto dealer) Ron Baker and learned that his son, Michael, had health problems that would prohibit him from taking over the family business. Then in 2009, his wife of 55 years, Sherrill, died of liver cancer just four months before the Saylor crash. The heartbreak and loneliness took a toll, but Baker said
things brightened about five years ago when he met his second wife, Dita, who sold him lotion at a local Nordstrom. These days, he’s semi-retired. He recently sold his Toyota dealership to Greg Miller, an heir to the Larry H. Miller Dealership Group in Utah, and within two years he plans to be retired. Then he’ll devote all of his time to philanthropy and enjoying life. Past projects have included St. Vincent de Paul Village downtown, where founder Father Joe Carroll describes him as “always very generous.” He also donated more than $1 million to the construction of St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church in Carmel Valley (which is named for Baker’s patron saint) and the building of a chapel at Cathedral Catholic High. He discovered the Solutions for Change charity in 2013 and has since become one if its champions. Most recently, he signed on as title sponsor for its 2015 gala, which honored military veterans. He said he was drawn to the cause because the Vista nonprofit helps find homes for the families of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and addictions. “It helps service people who are on drugs or who can’t live with themselves after what they experienced in war,” he said. “I was spared, but so many people are not, and they have a hard time when they get back.” Megison, a Marine veteran, said he turns away 17 veteran homeless families a month because his organization doesn’t have enough room for them in its apartment complexes. To qualify for housing, applicants must attend Solutions University, a 1,000-day program that includes counseling, classes on parenting, household finances and work experience. The goal is to stop the patterns of behavior that will land participants back on the streets. “He fell in love with our model,” Megison said of Baker. “He loves that we go deeper to help people and solve problems. But we can’t do it without social purpose investors like Bob. He said he hears a lot of promises from other charities, but not a lot of change, and here he sees action. I think it appeals to his entrepreneurial spirit.” – Pam Kragen is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Come fly with the San Diego Aviators Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash opening day event set for July 31
BY CHRIS SAUR When San Diego County residents talk about Opening Day, it’s usually in reference to Del Mar or Petco Park. It’s time to add San Diego Aviators World TeamTennis at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad to that list. The Aviators, in its third year as a Mylan World TeamTennis franchise, will open the season with a bang on July 31 with the Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash. While the 7 p.m. match with the Orange County Breakers is the main attraction — San Diego’s roster that night will feature tennis superstar James Blake, once ranked as high as No. 4 in the world — the event runs from 4 to 9 p.m. and includes dinner, live music, and silent and live auctions benefiting the Mitchell Thorpe Foundation. But the excitement of Opening Day is just the beginning for tennis fans, sports fans or San Diegans just looking for a great night out. The Aviators roster is stocked with exciting players, and the rules of play make for up-tempo, drama-filled matches. Blake, San Diego’s “Marquee Player” who will suit up on July 31 only, is an American who has won 10 ATP World Tour singles titles and is perhaps best known for his 2005 run to the U.S. Open quarterfinals. That run included a win over Rafael Nadal and a memorable five-set loss to Andre Agassi, who had to come back from a 2-0 deficit. Blake is living in Encinitas while he builds a home in Solana Beach. With the Aviators for all 12 matches — six of which are on
their home court at the Omni La Costa — are Americans Ryan Harrison and Shelby Rogers, along with South African standout Raven Klaasen and Croatian crusher Darija Jurak. Head coach John Lloyd, a former captain of the British Davis Cup team from 2006-2010 and the 1990 World TeamTennis Coach of the Year, will guide the squad for the second straight season. Harrison, 24, was signed July 15 after British player Dan Evans was drafted by San Diego, then pulled out of his contract at the last minute. The newest Aviator has been ranked as high as No. 43 in the world and has won matches at all four Grand Slam events. Harrison, who lives in Austin, Texas, has played for the United States in the Davis Cup, facing Switzerland and France in 2012, so he will be familiar with the team tennis format when he makes his league debut on July 31. “He is a great addition, a great team player who is really good at doubles,” said San Diego General Manager and Assistant Head Coach Jim Ault. “It will be a lot of fun to have him on the team.” Rogers, just 23 but a professional since 2009, is No. 59 in the WTA singles rankings, reached the third round of the 2015 U.S. Open and gained acclaim this summer with an impressive French Open run. On the way to the quarterfinals, the Charleston, South Carolina resident eliminated No. 17 Karolina Pliskova (Czech Republic), took out Russian Elena Vesnina in straight sets, defeated 10th seed and two-time SEE AVIATORS, B22

Private gallery in RSF to exhibit Latino artists
S
La Jolla Cultural Partners
ergott Contemporary Art in Rancho Santa Fe is hosting “Neo-Kitsch: A New Old Latin America,” an exhibition presenting six Latin American artists who use kitsch objects and symbols to refer to the colonial, social, cultural and political history of Latin America past and present. Kitsch is often considered to be gaudy or ironic, but in Latin America it represents a long cultural history of each country and acts to remind the viewer of a forgotten past. Examples of kitsch items may include indigenous handcrafts, or tropical fruit and animal sculptures. The artists presented in “Neo-Kitsch” explore their identity, art history and culture through their use of imagery. “I am excited to introduce Latin American artists to the San Diego region and look forward to presenting works that extend beyond our southern border and present a wider Hispanic perspective,” says Thomas Sergott, the founder and director of the gallery. Artists included Chiachio & Giannone (Argentina); Liliana Correa (Colombia); Mauricio Garrido (Chile); Becky Guttin (Mexico); Tatewaki Nio (Brazil); and Esteban Schimpf (Colombia). These artists have been collected and exhibited by several museums, including the Museum of Latin American Art Long Beach, Museum of Arts and Design NY, MOMA Buenos Aires and Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, among others. “Neo-Kitsch,” curated by associate director Andrew Ütt, will run from July 22 until Aug. 27 at Sergott Contemporary Art in Rancho Santa Fe. Charitable contributions will be made from sales at the opening presentation to be held July 22 from 6 to 9 p.m. To receive directions to the opening event, please RSVP to info@sergottart.com or (858) 756-2377.

Del Mar gallery features special equine art show BY KRISTINA HOUCK ith racing back in season at Del Mar, all things are about horses — even local art. Coordinated by local artist Bob Coletti, the Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair currently feature pieces from artists specializing in equine art. “We bring this event in conjunction with the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club to the local and greater San Diego public, in an effort to promote and develop the local art community and its artists,” Coletti said. From paintings to photographs, “ART of the EQUINE Exhibit” features 50 individual pieces of art from two dozen local artists. The show was open to all San Diego artists. The only requirement was that the artwork had to be of an equine nature. Coletti said he, Southfair owner Rachel Turner Thomas and installation director Michael Orenich worked hard to make the exhibit an event that the whole family can enjoy. “Our goal is to make the Herbert B. Turner Gallery the signature gallery of Del Mar,” he said. This is the second show at the gallery, continuing the legacy of the late Herbert B. Turner. Turner was a prominent architect, artist and resident of Del Mar.

As the builder of Southfair, he intended to provide gallery space for local artists to display and sell their work. His daughter, Thomas, honored her father’s legacy and continued his tradition by recently providing space for artists to display their art pieces. The first exhibit of 2016 featured artists from Group7Art, a group Coletti founded in 2011. The second featured work from members of Sargent Art Group, a North County-based art organization. “Being located so near the Del Mar Race Track, it was only natural to coordinate this event with the opening of racing season,” said Coletti, who has two pieces on display in the exhibit. The exhibit will not only feature an art show, but an art fair. A grand reception and art fair will take place 1-5 p.m. July 23. Del Mar’s own Bing Bush, also known as “The Horse Lawyer,” will present awards during an award ceremony and speak about the Breeders’ Cup coming to Del Mar in 2017. A variety of craft artists will also be in attendance, including a glass artist, fabric artist, T-shirt artist, handbag artist, jeweler and a printmaker. Refreshments will be served. Free parking will also be available at Southfair, located at 2010 Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 21, 2016 - PAGE B5
Artist’s pipe-cleaner sculptures are a hit in Shanghai BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT t may sound like an unlikely combination — a California artist known for cartoonish pipe-cleaner sculptures and the French luxury brand Hermès, known for high-fashion accessories — but this summer, Don Porcella’s “Creatures in Wonderland” have transformed the windows of Hermès’ flagship store in Shanghai, China and attracted admiring viewers. Porcella’s work might be considered outsider art, but he’s hardly an outsider. Born and raised in Modesto, California, he’s the son of a fiber artist renowned for her weaving and quilting, and a physician father who taught him to love the natural world. A graduate of UC San Don Diego, he has a BFA from Porcella California College of Arts and Crafts, an MFA from New York’s Hunter College, and is the recipient of a number of arts grants and prizes whose work has been exhibited here and abroad. Porcella began working with chenille pipe-cleaners as a grad student in New York City. “I was travelling a lot, and they were portable, something I could work with on the Staten Island Ferry,” he said. For his MFA exhibition, he invented a way of weaving pipe-cleaners together to make three-dimensional sculptures that were eye-catching and structurally sound. One of them caught the eye of a Paris-based art dealer who asked to represent him. “For about 10 years, she didn’t do much,” Porcella said. “Then she started showing my sculptures at Parisian art fairs, and last year, some people from Hermès saw them and said: That artist would be perfect for one of our store windows. Do you think he’d want to do it?” Fast rewind: In 2014, Porcella had spent three months at an artists’ residency in Shanghai, courtesy of Swatch. “I’d been collecting Swatches for years,” he said. “Their interchangeability — different watchbands with different faces — was actually an influence on how I made art. And I got all my materials from China, so the Swatch residency seemed perfect, a chance to find a factory I could deal with directly and an Asian audience for my work.”

The spring-season window at Hermès’ store in Shanghai features 5-foot-tall flamingos created by Don Porcella. He applied, was accepted, and then his wife, Ginger Shulick Porcella, was offered the position of Executive Director of San Diego Art Institute in Balboa Park. He gave up his Brooklyn studio, they moved from New York to Lemon Grove, and a month later, he was off to Shanghai. When Hermès heard about his Shanghai connection, they asked Porcella to fill the four windows of their new Shanghai store, including items from their 2016 summer collection. Inspired by the dioramas at New York’s Museum of Natural History, Porcella came up with the idea of four seasons, each featuring a different animal in its environment. Since 2016 was the Year of the Monkey, he knew he’d do monkeys, and bring along his studio mascot, Harry, a full-size pipe-cleaner chimp. Months of back-and-forth communication followed. Porcella submitted sketches and created tiny models of flamingos (spring), monkeys (summer), deer (fall) and penguins (winter). He would make and ship the animals, and a Shanghai-based Japanese company, Hacienda, would build the environments to his specifications. In January, he flew to Shanghai with detailed designs and drawings; in June, a week before the windows’ unveiling, he flew back again, carrying a few
not-quite-finished creatures to complete in his hotel room. Every night, from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m., dozens of people worked on the installation, in four different languages — French, Chinese, Japanese and English. On June 8, Hermès had the unveiling, with about 100 people looking on. “They raised the curtain, and it was a real moment,” Porcella said. “There were all these people in the street, gasping. Traffic
stopped. It’s turned out to be their most successful window display, because it’s not just a design, it’s a narrative. I sought to communicate with my audience to help them recognize and reconnect to our common beginnings. I designed the installation to help us see ourselves in nature.” What’s next for Porcella? Maybe more Hermès windows, on Madison Avenue, or in Mexico City. And this fall, he’ll be part of a group show in Indianapolis, featuring the hottest fiber artists. “I basically gave up my New York career and landed in this incredible spot,” he said. “This year, I had a show across the street from where I live, and then I went clear across the world to China. This has turned out to be a wonderful story.”

Patrons of the Prado Gala: ‘Full Steam Ahead’
P
atrons of the Prado held the “19th annual Masterpiece Gala: Full Steam Ahead” event July 9 at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion. Patrons of the Prado is an all-volunteer group devoted to the arts and cultural institutions on the Prado in Balboa Park that raises unrestricted funds, and also provides grants for “Bucks for Buses,” the organization’s signature program that provides transportation funding to underserved San Diego school children so they may enjoy the educational experiences of Balboa Park. Last year, Patrons granted a total of $650,000 to its 11 beneficiaries. This year’s gala depicted the Steampunk theme, portraying what San Diegans in 1916 might have anticipated the future - 2016 - to look like. The event also honored Audrey Geisel.

Teen uses 3-D printer to make prosthetics for injured animals BY ASHLEY MACKIN Since The Bishop’s School is right across the street from La Jolla Riford Library, Bishop’s junior Nikita Krishnan took advantage of its public 3-D printing lab facilities as she launched her non-profit Creature Comfort and Care (CCC) company. Aimed at 3-D printing custom prosthetics and assistance devices for injured animals, CCC worked with the Living Coast Discovery Center and Greyhound Adoption Center, and the 16-year-old local resident hopes to forge more partnerships. With a pre-existing love of animals, but not engineering, Nikita went to the Riford Library for insight on how to 3-D print. “I was reading online about how 3-D printing is used to make prosthetics for people, so I wanted to see if it could be used to help animals,” she said. “But I had no idea what I was doing, so I got my start at the La Jolla Library. Staff introduced me to the technology and showed me how it works. I owe them so much for their help.” Using Thingiverse, the web-based design platform associated with the Library’s MakerBot 3-D printer, Nikita became familiar with the design-to-production aspect. “It’s a new realm,” she said. “The appeal is to custom-make things inexpensively because the printer
material is cheap and environmentally friendly. Plus, the possibilities are endless — from a bird’s beak to a horseshoe.” In late 2014, she began the outreach to determine the need. Starting with Living Coast Discovery Center and Greyhound Adoption Center, Nikita met with veterinarians, took pictures of the animals and their injuries, sketched a design on paper, and then designed it online to 3-D print it. It wasn’t long before Nikita needed her own 3-D printer at home. Depending on the project, Nikita said it could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months for each prosthetic. “At the Living Coast Discovery Center, they have a Cooper’s Hawk with a claw that is balled into a fist, and it’s hard for a bird to walk on a fist. The skin gets worn thin,” she said. “I originally wanted to try and open the claw, but it had been closed for so long, it would have caused more harm. I decided to build a boot to fit over her claw to provide a flat surface, and that took me a few months because the claws are small and the piece is really intricate.” Although the idea wasn’t practical for the long-run, Living Coast Discovery animal care manager Lindsay Bradshaw said it was “a great experience” working

Rescued greyhound Leah’s broken leg is healing thanks to a splint made by Bishop’s School junior Nikita Krishnan. with Nikita. “She is such a creative girl and came up with so many ideas to try. Her heart is truly in the right place.” Bradshaw added she would consider working with Nikita again, if an animal came in need of a prosthetic. For the El Cajon-based Greyhound Adoption Center (GAC), which rescues former race dogs that suffer broken hind legs, Nikita custom-makes splints. “Their general splints are heavy and cumbersome. Since each dog has different measurements and the 3-D printing material is lightweight, I designed a replica of the splint they have, but thinner and lighter, which can be customized for each dog. It’s currently in testing, but it seems to be going well.” Nikita’s test subject is a greyhound name Leah, which
Nikita Krishnan with her at-home 3-D printer GAC founder and president Darren Rigg said wears one of Nikita’s prosthetics following a recent break to her right hind leg. “We bring in lots of dogs with broken legs over the course of the year … so Nikita made two custom splints that fit the specific curve of Leah’s leg. Her prototypes were delivered just in time. We put the splint on Leah, and she is benefiting from this brand new technology. It’s remarkable,” he said.
Going forward, he added, “We hope to have Nikita produce a series of semi-custom splints for various dogs that come in.” Of the possible greater good to Nikita’s technology, Rigg said, “She’s on to something big here; if she could make a custom splint, for all dogs not just greyhounds, she could be very successful in the veterinary community.” ■ On the Web: creaturecomfortandcare.org

LET’S REVIEW BY DIANA SAENGER
‘Ain't misbehavin' ‘is savin' all its love for you
I
f patrons felt their seats shaking at the opening of North Coast Repertory Theatre’s “Ain’t Misbehavin’ — The Fats Waller Musical Show,” it was an earthquake of energy caused by the five-member cast that proves a great song never loses its appeal. Director Yvette Freeman scores a hit with the exceptionally talented dancers and she brings to the stage. As Armelia, Cynthia Thomas is delightfully fun with her sassy moves and inviting smiles in songs such as “Squeeze Me.” Director Freeman, who also plays Charlaine, pours everything and more into her character with jitterbug moves so electric you’ll think she stuck a finger in a light socket. Her rendition of “Yatch Club Swing” is full of stunning footwork and animation. Along with TV shows (“Duets,” “Chasing Destiny”) Freeman has performed at several San Diego venues. Anise Richie, who has a successful resume with shows such as “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Sammy,” “Violet” and more,
gives character Nell, a suave attitude. She has a wonderful voice and great dancing skills. Tony Perry, who has an enormous portfolio of shows and films, and who has traveled North America in a concert of Yiddish and African-American music, slides into the role of Ken like Muhammad Ali taking over the ring. His wide, cheery smile is forefront in his powerful and funny, “Your Feet’s Too Big.” Native San Diegan Ron Christopher Jones not only has performed in The Old Globe’s “Grinch” and “Bessies Blues,” but other venues, as well. Portraying Andre, his lively and swift dance moves cross the NCRT stage like a tornado and enthuse his renditions of “I’ve Got a Feeling I’m Falling,” “Mean To Me,” and “Cash For Your Trash.” In song after song and dance after dance, the ensemble excels with help from the in-house musicians Kevin Toney (pianist/conductor), Danny King (drums/percussion), Greg McKinney (bass), Julian Davis (trumpet) and Malcolm Jones

created and directed) by Richard Maltby, Jr., and Murray Horwitz. ■ IF YOU GO: “Ain’t Misbehavin’ — The Fats Waller Musical Show” is on stage through Aug. 7 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $46. (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org
History Center opens exhibit honoring Zoo’s centennial
E
ach year, the San Diego History Center honors individuals, businesses and institutions that have “made history in their own time.” This year, the 100th year of the San Diego Zoo (and Zoological Society) was celebrated June 25 at dinner party in Balboa Park where guests first toured the “Lore Behind the Roar: 100 Years of the San Diego Zoo” exhibition at the History Center and then enjoyed cocktails and dinner at the Zoo’s own Zoofari Party Area. After dinner, a discussion touched on the Zoo's little-known secrets of success, hosted by Carlo Cecchetto of CBS News 8 with Doug Myers, CEO of San Diego Zoo Global and Chuck Beiler, Executive Director Emeritus of the San Diego Zoo. Fast Facts: San Diego Zoo Global was founded Oct. 2, 1916 by Dr. Harry Wegeforth to house the ragtag collection of animals left over from the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. It is the largest zoological membership association in the world. The 100-acre park is home to more than 3,500 rare and endangered animals and a botanical collection with more than 700,000 exotic plants. It operates the San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park and the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research. Learn more at sandiegozoo.org and sandiegohistory.org

Reggie Bush ProCamp, local organization team up to score TD for literacy
C
ampers attending the Reggie Bush Football ProCamp at Helix Charter High School not only had two great days of football instruction, they learned how the simple act of reading can help them achieve their goals and dreams. Bush was in town July 14-15 to put on his annual football camp as the first part of The Reggie Bush Charity Weekend string of events. Several other NFL players and coaches were on hand as well to assist with the 240 campers. Camp Director Rod Huber shared the message to campers and their parents about the importance of reading and doing well in school for life-long success. Through Reach Out and Read San Diego (RORSD), a program of the local chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP-CA, Chapter 3), families receive free books, from their pediatrician at well-child check-ups, and a prescription to “read aloud to your children.” Damon Chase, athletic director and principal for Helix Charter High, felt it important to get the message about reading out to the kids and parents. “Mastering reading provides a foundation for everything. We focus on that here at Helix, but the earlier you start the better. Not only for success with sports but success in life!”

Sarah Lackey, Reggie Bush and a “big” Dr. Seuss fan! The first day of camp, RORSD doctors and Student Ambassador Sarah Lackey gave out the classic Dr. Seuss book “Oh the Places You’ll Go!” as inspiration to reach for your dreams. Sarah donated used books and also provided funding, along with the Philanthropy Club of Rancho Santa Fe, for the new books. The 17-year-old attends Cathedral Catholic High School and has created a nonprofit called “Books for Friends.” Having been bullied as a child, Sarah found that books were her friends and they changed her life. She turned her love for books into a passion for helping programs such as RORSD get books into the hands of more children in need. Campers supported local clinics by bringing in over 600 used books on the second day of camp which
were stacked high to score a “Touchdown for Literacy!” Dr. Wendy Pavlovich, with Family Health Centers of San Diego, enjoyed the event. “As pediatricians we encourage families to read with their children from infancy. It is wonderful when we can partner with sports figures, such as Reggie Bush, to help us reinforce this message. It is a very powerful endorsement of reading as a part of healthy physical and mental development. Together we make a great team.” Pediatricians from Family Health Centers of San Diego, Vista Community Clinic, San Ysidro Health Center, UCSD and North County Health Services were presented with the donated books that they can use in their waiting
Doctors handing out books and prescribing reading. and exam rooms to encourage reading. The latest research tells us that 90 percent of a child’s brain develops in the first five years of life and that talking, reading, and singing is critical in making these brain connections. Still many families have not heard this message and children from more affluent homes hear 30 million more words, before kindergarten, than children in lowincome households. Reach Out and Read San Diego, www.rorsd.org, is a program that is working to close this word gap by encouraging parents to read to their children daily. Through RORSD, each child starts kindergarten with a home library of up to 10 new, carefully chosen books and a parent who has heard
at every well-child check-up about the importance of books and reading. Parents learn how much their child’s brain is growing and the important role they play as their child’s first and best teacher. There are 88 medical offices throughout San Diego and Imperial Counties, participating in this program, providing books to more than 85,000 low-income children every year. RORSD is just one of the many programs coordinated and led by the local chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP-CA3), in partnership with local pediatricians, working to address the issues of children’s healthy development.

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.

Make it ‘Sense’ for a great night of theater LETS REVIEW BY DIANA SAENGER he Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s West Coast premiere of Tony Award-nominee Paul Gordon’s new musical “Sense and Sensibility” drew interest the moment it was announced. Gordon and founder and Artistic Director of Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Barbara Gaines who directed the play at The Old Globe, made a few changes in the
T
production but had no need to fear bad reviews. “Sense and Sensibility,” has been around quite a while in several forms. The romance/drama has appealed to thousands, which is a lot to imagine since Jane Austin doubtfully had any clue that her 1811 novel — published under the name “A Lady” — would far outlive her. Whether one knew the plot of the story or had no clue, they shared the same experience. Except during songs, dialogue
and laughter, someone could have slammed a door and the captivated audience wouldn’t have noticed. The story remains mostly the same. Three siblings have lost their last parent when their father dies. He left son John (David Schlumpf) in charge of carrying out his will. John however, is under the thumb of his wife who demands the sisters get nothing. Struggling to find new lives, the easiest thing for Dashwood sisters, Marianne (Megan SEE SENSE, B23

Tasty and safe summer food tips
A
lthough summer is a laid-back, easy breezy season, dangers lurk from bloodsuckers of the night, sun’s fire-breathing rays and foodborne monsters. Here are some tips to keep you safe and healthy throughout the glorious summer months. What’s Bugging You? Some people are magnets for insect bites from mosquitoes and gnats to fleas and spiders. The former are notorious disease carrying pests of summer, swarming down on unsuspecting victims who are simply trying to enjoy a sip of wine at dusk, an evening barbecue with friends or a late afternoon stroll. Volumes of research have been compiled to understand more about these ancient insects, and the flesh that is most desirable to their tastes. According to Jerry Butler, Ph.D., University of Florida, mosquitoes are drawn to people with high concentrations of steroids or cholesterol on their skin left as a byproduct from processing the compound (not necessarily correlating with high cholesterol levels). In addition, those who produce large amounts of acid, like uric and lactic acids are also susceptible. To ward off nocturnal creatures, especially mosquitoes and the occasional vampire without using chemical-based repellents, eat a smashed clove of garlic, preferably raw, with your
buttered toast several times a week (on your stay-at-home days). Garlic is loaded with allicin, a potent sulfur compound that repulses mosquitoes when exuded through sweat. Three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar a day have also been found to keep mosquitoes at bay. Or concoct a warm apple cider beverage with fresh grated ginger and orange blossom honey for a more palatable swig. Other remedies include dabbing essential oils, such as peppermint, lemongrass and eucalyptus on pulse points, rubbing orange or lemon peels on exposed skin, or a mixture of pure vanilla extract and water (proportion of 1 tablespoon to 1 cup), also applied externally to repel mosquitoes and other bugs. Spoiler Alert: Summer’s beautiful bounty of juicy stone fruits, melons and berries, heirloom tomatoes and avocados tends to spoil quickly as bacteria runs rampant in the heat. We also tend to eat and entertain outdoors more throughout the season from beach picnics to barbecues, and need to be mindful of safe food preparation, storage and transport to prevent dangerous foodborne illnesses.

in the world compete that makes World TeamTennis matches so exciting. First of all, unlike most tennis events, cheering is encouraged. “You don’t have to be too quiet. Fans can act the same way they would at a Padres or Chargers game as far as cheering,” Ault explained. Additionally, the scoring is in total games, not just sets, so every point counts in the five matches contested. Strategy comes into play as the home team can choose what order to play men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles. “The big difference is, it is a team so every game counts and every player contributes to the score,” Ault continued. “It is very heavy on doubles, which is super exciting and so fun to watch.”
Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, then topped No. 25 Irina-Camelia Begu (Romania) in straight sets. Klaasen, meanwhile, is a three-year veteran of the San Diego squad who has won nine career ATP World Tour doubles titles and is No. 6 in the ATP doubles rankings. Klaasen, 33, reached the doubles final at the 2014 Australian Open and recently played in the Wimbledon semifinals. Jurak is a 31-year-old who is in her fourth World TeamTennis campaign, including playing a key role for the Aviators last season. She’s been ranked as high as 32nd in doubles and has a third-round Wimbledon appearance under her belt. But it isn’t just watching the best players
Some quick safety tips include: • Lower the refrigerator temperature to
■ Ingredients: • 1 large head of garlic, or Elephant garlic • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil • Salt and pepper to taste ■ Method: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut off top of bulb, and peel away papery skin from the cloves. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the clove with parchment paper. Bake for about 25 minutes or
until soft. Remove individual cloves from the shell and spread on your favorite baguette or burger. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
maximum cold, and keep raw and cooked foods separated to prevent bacteria formation; • Let hot dishes like soups or stews cool to room temperature before refrigerating; • Don’t overbuy fresh fruits and vegetables – only what is needed to prevent spoilage and waste; • Don’t wash fresh berries until ready to use as the moisture will encourage rotting; • Follow the one-hour rule: Refrigerate perishable foods within one hour of being left outdoors or at room temperature; • Transport dishes in airtight containers, using thermal bags or coolers; • Limit use of egg and dairy-based dips and dressings for outdoor events; • Store grains, flours, sugars and other dried goods in airtight containers; • Like Baby Bear’s porridge, keep foods at the right temperature – cold dishes should be kept cold, hot dishes kept hot.
The Burning Question: In our great grandmother’s era, tanned skin was a gauche mark of an outdoor laborer. Today’s golden glow is a symbol of leisure and affluence. Alas, the glow comes at a high price, including premature aging, brown spots, skin cancer and macular degeneration (along with painful and uncomfortable burns). Certain foods have sun-protective powers to save both skin and eyes from harmful rays. Studies have shown that dark leafy greens, especially kale, spinach and chard loaded with lutein provides a powerful sun shield to protect optic nerves, lessen burning and reduce skin cancer risks. Same with mighty lycopene warriors, particularly tomatoes and watermelon that act as built-in sunscreens when consumed. Then wash it all down with a cup of polyphenol-rich green or black tea to protect internally from sun’s blistering rays.
Another rule that adds to the fan experience is the overtime possibility. No matter how many points a team is behind, if it can win the final set the match goes on until the leading squad wins a game, or the losing teams wins enough games to overtake its opponent. In short, this means there is never a reason to leave early. The Aviators — who have home matches on Aug. 2 (Orange County Breakers), Aug. 5 (New York Empire), Aug. 6 (Washington Kastles), Aug. 7 (Springfield Lazers) and Aug. 8 (Philadelphia Freedom) — are owned by local residents Fred Luddy and Jack McGrory, and took third place in the Western Conference last season. Ault, Luddy and McGrory are proud to work with the Mitchell Thorp Foundation for the July 31 Pillars of Hope event. The Foundation’s mission is to help families in
the region who have children suffering from life-threatening illnesses by providing financial and emotional support and resources. Packages cost $125 per person and include dinner, entertainment and the auctions until 7 p.m. A $250 VIP package includes those perks plus VIP seats to the Aviators match. To purchase tickets, visit www.mitchellthorp.org/events. Also at the event, the foundation will give out its Pillars of Hope award, which honors top doctors, educators, therapists and practitioners who go above and beyond the call of duty.

Foundation sponsoring golf event to benefit vets The Blue Angels Foundation is sponsoring a two-day golf event to support wounded veterans. The 17th Annual Blue Angels Foundation Classic, to be held Sept. 23 to 25, will be hosted by Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, and will include a round of golf at Del Mar Country Club. There are still sponsorship opportunities and foursomes for individuals and companies who would like to participate. “The Blue Angels Foundation is committed to helping wounded veterans and those suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)” said Mike Campbell, President of the Blue Angels Foundation. “This event is a great opportunity for San Diegans to show how thankful they are for the service of the many wounded veterans in the community. It’s a chance to get to know these heroes better and help give them the quality of life they deserve.” The primary beneficiaries of the Blue Angels Foundation Classic are the Warrior Foundation ~ Freedom Station and the Research and Recognition Project. Freedom Station is a unique recovery transition center and housing facility here in San Diego that provides injured veterans with the acclimation time, guidance and resources to successfully make the transition from military service to civilian life. Research and Recognition
Project is a national study focused on finding a drug-free resolution to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Guests at this year’s Blue Angels Foundation Classic will play two iconic San Diego area courses during the event, including the beautiful and challenging Park Hyatt Aviara Golf Club and the private championship course at the Del Mar Country Club. For those who’d like to help raise money for wounded veterans but are not golfers, the event will also feature a half-day tennis clinic and a fun, social round-robin tournament to practice skills learned during the clinic. Throughout the weekend, guests will enjoy golf, tennis, cuisine, and the luxury of the world-class Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, while also making an important contribution to supporting wounded veterans. After the opening evening’s happy hour and welcome dinner, guests will be entertained by the incomparable musings of comedian/actor/writer Lenny Clarke, known for his stand-up comedy and roles on Denis Leary’s FX TV show “Rescue Me” and Chelsea Handler’s NBC sitcom “Are You There Chelsea?” For more information on the 17th Annual Blue Angels Foundation Classic, to register a foursome or become a sponsor, visit www.blueangelsfoundation.org or call 617-529-7258.
Girls softball registration now open for ‘Fall Ball’ season North Shore Girls Softball recently announced the opening of registration for the “Fall Ball” season, which runs from September through November. North Shore Girls Softball is Carmel Valley’s recreational softball league, open to all girls in Carmel Valley and surrounding communities, regardless of experience or ability. Over 300 girls play North Shore softball each year. During the fall, all games are on Sundays, so that girls can
play other sports such as soccer. Time commitment is generally less than the regular spring season, but varies from team to team. It’s a perfect time both for beginners to learn the game, and also for experienced players to prepare for the spring season. Registration is easy at nsgsl.com. Send any questions to fallball@nsgsl.com. Be sure to register by July 31, as teams will be formed in early August.

filling the role of their characters. Aided by great direction by Barbara Gaines, Susan E. Mickey’s wonderful costumes and the pleasing songs by Gordon, it made for a wonderful entertaining night at The Globe. My only disappointment was the set design. There was a big beautiful piece of architecture that went from stage bottom way high, but it never came into play of what it was to represent. A few chair’s here and there, a bed, and some picture frames lowered from the ceiling that also left some of us blank, took away some of the attachment we might have had to the story and the normal enthrallment by The Globe’s design team. ■ IF YOU GO: “Sense and Sensibility,” runs through Aug. 14 on the Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

We find Marianne totally captivated by the dashing Mr. Willoughby (Peter Saide) who seems to instantly begin to ease her sorrows and convince her he truly cares for her. Of course, it wouldn’t be a drama if that didn’t change. Marianne ends up brokenhearted and ill. It’s all Elinor can do to keep her alive while also fretting over her own situation. Could the reserved Col. Brandon (Sean Allan Krill) possibly come to the aid of these women?
