BY KAREN BILLING Facing criticism from parents over the decision to house students in the Adult Transition Program (ATP) in two portable classrooms on the new Earl Warren Middle School campus, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) invited parents to to tour the facility and participate in a special meeting July 28 on the campus. For over two hours, SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill listened and responded to a group of frustrated parents. Some parents wanted an apology from the district and others did not, instead wanting answers to their questions and an assurance from the district that their children were a priority and that their concerns were truly being heard. “I know that some promises were made for involvement on the planning of that classroom and we didn’t deliver on that promise and I think that’s led to a lot of the concerns,” Dill said. “There were promises of more

involvement and we didn’t do that and I’m sorry for that.” On July 28, parents learned that what was meant to be a permanent home for ATP will now be a transitional one. In the short term to deal with capacity issues, a part of the ATP program will be housed in a classroom at La Costa Canyon High School (LCC) this fall with the intent of the full program moving there for the 2018-19 school year. According to Dill, long-term plans would include the construction of a permanent home for ATP, possibly at the Sunset High School campus in Encinitas or bringing the program to a community college such as Mira Costa. ATP is a stand-alone, specialized, four-year program for special education students ages 18-22. For the last couple of years, the district housed ATP students in portables at Earl Warren. Prior to that, the students were moved almost every year to different locations, such as the local library. For some ATP parents it was the first time seeing the rooms SEE PORTABLES, A22

Ponsaty ousted; Rancho Santa Fe restaurant to close BY PAM KRAGEN One year after French chef Patrick Ponsaty lent his name and expertise to a new fine-dining restaurant in Rancho Santa Fe, Ponsaty’s is closing. Officials with Grand Restaurant Group, for whom Ponsaty spent the past four years as corporate chef, announced Friday, July 28, that Ponsaty’s will close on Aug. 13 and will reopen three days later with a new name and a new chef. Ponsaty said he’s very disappointed by the turn of events, but things haven’t been the same for him at the company since a leadership change last spring. He wanted to continue using produce from local farms and the company wanted to order from less-expensive commercial suppliers. “Everything stopped three

BY KAREN BILLING An increase in coyote attacks in Carmel Valley and Del Mar has pet owners on alert. On Nextdoor, neighbors in the communities of Torrey Hills, Del Mar Mesa, Ashley Falls and Carmel Valley Circle are warning others about coyote sightings, attacks and, sadly, the losses of beloved family cats and dogs. One family was left heartbroken after their 8-year-old dog was killed by a coyote while in their backyard on Concannon Court in the Ashley Falls School neighborhood on July 29. “This coyote situation is the worst I’ve seen in 25 years of living here,” wrote Sue

Fountain, who lives in Sea Point townhomes. The sightings and attacks are happening at various times of day, from early morning hours to dusk, near local parks and in people’s backyards, even those with fences. “Many people I talk to think their fences provide complete protection for their dogs,” said Carmel Valley resident Diane Williams. “Fences help. But a determined coyote can jump a fence.” Del Mar Mesa resident Mary Perez said she witnessed a coyote jumping on her backyard masonry wall, which is over 6 feet tall. “The most amazing thing is the coyote SEE COYOTES, A21

John Cappetta at the July 27 premiere of his movie, “Day of Days,” held at The Lot in La Jolla.

New chapter in RSF businessman’s career focuses on the silver screen BY JOE TASH After working on the East Coast for two decades in global capital markets, John Cappetta and his family moved to Rancho Santa Fe, where he invested in small companies and real estate, and in 2013 formed his own investment company, Andesite Capital, of which he is founder and CEO. The latest chapter of his career fuses both a personal passion - telling stories through movies - and his business skills. Over the past two years, Cappetta has become an executive producer for three films, the first of which, “Day of Days,” starring veteran actor Tom Skerritt, comes out Aug. 15 on DVD and streaming services. A theatrical premiere was held July 27 in La Jolla. A second film, called “Marshall,” about the early career of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, is completed and set for release in theaters Oct. 17, while a third film, “HeadShop,” is shooting in Los Angeles, said Cappetta, 56. “Over the past two years, I’ve been investing time and energy into this space out of personal passion and interest,” Cappetta said. While his role in the first two films is primarily as an investor, Cappetta said, he is taking a more active role in “HeadShop,” which according to the film site IMDb, is “A magical urban tale about a beautiful psychologist from San Francisco” who ends a long-time relationship and opens a private practice in a vacant, street-front office space in Oakland, “turning the predominantly African-American and psychologically ignored neighborhood on its emotional ear.” Regarding this new aspect to his career, Cappetta said, “Is this business or is it art? For me, the two kind of go together. I don’t think you can do this if you don’t have interest in producing a great product, a beautiful product that you’re proud of.” At the same time, he said, he still has to

consider the financial risks and rewards of a project, and whether it can generate a return on capital. “My interests and background allow me to balance those two things,” he said. The film investment arm of Andesite Capital is called Planet 9 Productions. One of Cappetta’s film-industry partners is Kim Bass, who wrote and directed “Day of Days.” According to Cappetta, the film is inspired by Bass’s grandfather, and involves an intense day spent together by an elderly man and his caregiver, on what the man believes is his final day. The two become both “angel and savior” for each other, Cappetta said. The movie business has both differences and similarities to his previous work in finance, Cappetta said. For example, envisioning a film is like creating a successful real estate development project from the ground up. But during the production phase of a film, the frenetic pace is unlike his past experiences. “It’s a unique process that’s a lot of fun in my limited experience so far,” he said. Cappetta is open to exploring new experiences in his personal as well as his business life. He and his wife, Nancy Jo, have four sons, ranging in age from 15 to 24. About three years ago, they took a “family gap year,” and lived in an apartment in Paris for a year. The two younger boys attended an American school in Paris, and the older boys also spent about eight months with the family. They also traveled during that year to such destinations as South Africa, Morocco, Turkey and other parts of Europe. Along with traveling, the family loves to sail, ski and snowboard together, said Cappetta. Cappetta also volunteers with a number of different groups, such as the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation, where he serves as co-chairman.

RSF Education Foundation RSF Foundation invites community to join in grantmaking with $40,000 matching grant Foundation to host Newcomers’

Rancho Santa Fe Foundation is committed to honoring and supporting the members of the San Diego military community for their service to the nation. Through its grantmaking, The Patriots Connection (TPC) a program of the RSF Foundation, seeks to expand the capacity of San Diego area nonprofit programs that serve active duty military and veterans and their families, according to a press release. Each year, TPC makes grants to deserving nonprofits serving the military in San Diego County. This year the TPC received twice the number of requests it normally receives. This is a compelling indicator of the consistent and ongoing needs of San Diego’s military families – not only during their service, but as they transition to civilian life. The San Diego region has the largest concentration of military in the world. One out of every six of the nation’s sailors and more than one-fourth of all marines are stationed in San Diego. San Diego County also has the third largest population of veterans in the United States. Last year, The Patriots Connection granted $112,229 to 10 Organizations of Distinction. Nonprofits serving the military and veterans in San Diego County earn this title after careful and rigorous vetting to determine their impact, efficiency, and use of best practices. Since 2008, RSF Foundation has awarded $1.3 million to military-serving nonprofits. They could not have done this without the many generous donors who have come alongside The Patriots Connection to realize greater impact with their philanthropic dollars. Among the grants last year,

TPC supported Easter Seals Southern California’s WorkFirst/Military & Veterans Services program. Tim was down-sized out of the Navy after 14 years of service. When administrative errors delayed his severance payment, he received an eviction notice. Easter Seals, through its WorkFirst program, assisted Tim in preparing for a project specialist position interview with a waste management company, found him legal assistance to delay the eviction, and contacted the federal government to speed the processing of his Navy severance pay. Tim was hired for the project specialist position and his severance payment arrived a week before Christmas. Your support can make more stories like this a reality. RSF Foundation has announced that it has received a $40,000 dollar-for-dollar challenge grant to support The Patriots Connection grantmaking this year. Every dollar you donate will be matched – doubling your impact – and helping even more of the nation’s heroes. All donations made between now and Sept. 15, 2017 designated to The Patriots Connection totaling up to $40,000 will be matched and support 2017 grants. To make an impact and support the region’s military, visit www.rsffoundation.org or contact RSF Foundation staff at (858) 756-6557. The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation works alongside donors and partners to create a stronger philanthropic community in Rancho Santa Fe and San Diego. It provides “a stable, tax-advantaged financial structure, for both individual donors and organizations, for the stewardship of philanthropic funds with a mission to serve the community.”

events for R. Roger Rowe School The RSF Education Foundation will host its annual Newcomers’ Welcome Pool Parties for new families to the Rancho Santa Fe School District. These parties are an opportunity to meet others and make new friends prior to the beginning of the school year. Parents of current students host these pool parties at private homes in Rancho Santa Fe, with refreshments and desserts provided. Newcomers should bring a towel, swim clothes, and sunscreen. The RSF Education Foundation will also host a Newcomers’ Orientation & BBQ on Friday, Aug. 25. This is a chance for new families to meet classroom teachers and take school tours. All new families who are registered at the R. Roger Rowe School will receive invitations by email for both events. The Newcomers’ Chairs

Astronaut twins study shows space travel causes premature aging BY WILL BOWEN Those images of a robust Star Trek Captain James T. Kirk beaming around the solar system at maximum warp, or an irreverent Han Solo with his sidekick Chewbacca bustling through space on a quest to save Princess Leia, are sadly, an illusion. The truth of the matter is that humans or any other living thing — be it a plant or a fruit fly from planet Earth — are not meant for space travel. Traveling in space is very hard on creatures, producing physiological effects similar to premature aging. That’s one of the reasons the Stein Institute on Aging at UC San Diego brought NASA affiliate Brinda K. Rana, Ph.D., to speak to a packed audience of mostly older adults at the Garren Auditorium of the UCSD School of Medicine, last week. Rana, who has been the Principle Investigator (PI) on three NASA studies, spoke at length about the effects of space travel on all aspects of the human body — everything from vision to genetics. “Everything I say has to be approved by NASA. I have to be very careful about the data I reveal,” Rana wryly explained. Her chief NASA project was a comprehensive medical study of twin brother astronauts — Scott and Mark Kelly — who spent different lengths of time in space. Since the brothers are genetically identical, researchers thought they could ferret out the effects of time in space on their bodies. Mark had 54 days in space, while Scott spent 365 days living on the space station. Rana headed up a team of scientists from UCSD, one of 10 university-based teams from around the world chosen by NASA to study the astronauts. It was a difficult assignment requiring a great deal of cooperation. For instance, all 10 teams had to share just one vial of blood among themselves from each of the two astronauts. Rana explained that space travel impairs blood and lymph circulation, especially to the lower parts of the body: Your face gets puffy and your legs get weak. “Space travel is like hanging upside down for a long time!” she said. That’s why astronauts have to be helped out of their space capsule when they return to Earth. They can’t stand up on their own because their legs are so weak due to poor circulation. NASA knows that space travel, specifically spending time in zero gravity, is hard. But

Stein Institute on Aging at UCSD hosted a recent lecture by NASA affiliate Dr. Brinda K. Rana, who spoke about the effects of space travel on the human body. since the plan is to send men and women up to Mars, which is a six-month flight one way, it is trying hard to develop ways to counteract the debilitating aspects of space travel so the astronauts can function when they get to the red planet. Luckily, the gravity on Mars is less than it is on Earth, so they should be able to stand up and carry out their activities. Space travel also produces bodily changes you cannot see, affecting the chemistry and physiology of the body. It also affects DNA and RNA. Rana found that while in space, astronaut Scott Kelly had 200,000 differences or mutations in RNA actions, which returned to normal when he came back to Earth. “This just shows that genes are not static, but very sensitive to the environment around us,” Rana said. Space travel also changes the intestinal flora or probiotics in the gut, which aid digestion. There are also cardiovascular changes, muscular atrophy, arteriosclerosis, glaucoma and bone loss. It looks just like the signs of aging! Space travelers also experience increased

cranial pressure. There are changes to the eyes and vision problems develop. This syndrome is known as “VIIP” or Visual Impaired Intracranial Pressure syndrome. Rana is an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at UCSD and has a lab at the Stein Institute of Aging. She is an alumna of UCSD with a B.A. in math from Revelle College. She also has an M.S. in math from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas in molecular genetics. At the Stein Institute, her chief duty is to look for the genes that seem to keep some older adults from getting age-related disorders. Rana’s NASA studies are relevant because the results have an application to understanding aging on Earth and in helping people in similar situations to space travel, like those who are bedridden for long periods of time. In one experiment, Rana’s lab studied people who were confined to bed with their body inclined downward toward the head at a 15-degree angle, mimicking the effects of space flight.

Karen Ocorr, Ph.D., was at the lecture because she is also working with NASA. Ocorr is a professor in the Development, Aging and Regeneration Program at the Sanford Burham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute on North Torrey Pines Road. Ocorr studies the ion channels responsible for the relaxation of the human heart, which she says is similar in fruit flies. She just got back a batch of fruit flies that were flown to the space station on the SpaceX CRS-11 mission. She is looking at the effects of zero gravity on their heart function, which can provide models to help understand the human heart. “The fruit flies aren’t doing too well after their space flight,” she confided. Einstein once predicted that if we start to travel faster in space and get closer to the speed of light, which is about as fast as we could ever go, time will slow down. Thus we would age slower (happy thought!) in terms of chronology. But if we are in zero gravity at light-speed our bodies will age faster (unhappy thought!). Professor Rana says not to worry. “NASA will figure it out!”

Breeders’ Cup ‘Barn at the Beach’ will be site for a week of events The Barn at the Beach will be a unique oceanfront venue providing a dramatic gathering place for attendees from across the globe and local community members to come together for special events celebrating the Breeders’ Cup, the internationally-acclaimed horseracing event coming to Del Mar. The City of Del Mar, the Del Mar Village Association, the Breeders’ Cup Ltd., Breeders’ Cup Host Committee, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and San Diego Tourism Authority collaborated and partnered to make the temporary structure for Festival Week, set for Oct. 28-Nov. 4, a reality. “It is our honor to be the host destination for this prestigious horseracing event,” said Mayor of Del Mar, Terry Sinnott. “We look

Surviving Climate Change

UCSD launches Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology BY WILL BOWEN Although many people are in disbelief and so they are complacent, scientists have been warning us that the Earth is undergoing global climate change and we must prepare for it if we are to have a productive future. The theory is that global conditions have been warming up as part of a natural cycle since the last Ice Age (Glacial Maxim 20,000-25,000 years ago), but in the last few decades things have dramatically sped up due to human activities. The intense burning of fossil fuels has caused a steep rise in the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, creating a greenhouse-like effect and leading to hotter conditions that have begun to rapidly melt ice in glaciers and at the polar caps, thus causing the oceans to rise. For millions of years, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere has paralleled air temperature. Scientists think that temperature will inevitably rise to match the radical spike in CO2 level, though it hasn’t yet. If you look at aerial photographs of the major glaciers or study maps of the Arctic and Antarctica you can see the effects of global warming boldly demonstrated. Glaciers have shrunk and large areas of the polar ice sheaths have melted. It is not certain what Mother Nature will do. Humans can only guess at the future based on the data and the models we have. But it looks like we will eventually lose

low-lying places on the ocean front, for example, the beautiful city of Venice, Italy. It’s also thought that San Francisco Airport may be underwater in 100 years, unless some sort of sea wall is built to protect it. Many of our California beaches (worth about $60 billion a year in tourist revenue) may also end up under water.

Finding a link to past rising seas

What can we do about climate change? Can we stop it or alter its course? Some scientists think we still have time, others say it is far too late and we will just have to adapt by moving back from the coast as the oceans rise. We are not unique in the dilemma we face. In past times, other human beings faced the same problem of rising oceans. Throughout the world there are civilizations now underwater, lost to the rising oceans. In La Jolla, there is evidence offshore and underwater that two Native civilizations (flourishing 8,000 and 12,000 years ago) experienced serious sea-level changes that impacted their lifestyle and led to their disappearance. Hopefully, we can learn from these lost cultures by studying and understanding how they adapted or failed to adapt to climate change and rising seas.

Its researchers have started a project to study the past, called the Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology (SCMA). The goal of SCMA, which is a team effort by SIO and the UC San Diego Department of Anthropology, is to investigate the influence of changing marine environments on ancient societies and to reconstruct archeological sites that are now under the water. SCMA was founded by SIO emeritus

professor Walter Munk and Damien Leloup, who met at the world renowned Explorer’s Club. Leloup used to dive with the great French oceanographer and inventor of the aqua lung, Jacques Cousteau. Together Munk and Leloup were able to raise $400,000 to start SCMA. The Center is currently headed by UCSD anthropology professor Tom Levy, an archaeologist who specializes in the Middle East, and John Hildebrand, a professor at SIO known for his work using sound for underwater sensing and discovery. The purpose of SCMA, according to Scripps’ director Margaret Leinen, “Is to advance marine archaeology as a field, and on a larger scale, to help scientists explore ways to better understand and protect our planet.” Carol Padden, dean of UCSD Division of Social Sciences, added that SCMA will, “Find ways to study the relationship between society and the sea, increasing our knowledge of the past for a better future.” Said Levy, “We are not just going to study sunken ships, but we will look at the adaptation of coastal societies who underwent environmental change. There are hidden coastlines now underwater all over the world where civilization and culture once flourished. Those are the places we need to study.”

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - AUGUST 3, 2017 - PAGE A9

Veteran world traveler has more places to visit BY JOE TASH Bill Altaffer’s son recently asked him how many countries he had only been to once. Altaffer, a lifelong traveler who says he has visited every country on Earth (the United Nations has 193 member states), had to think, and could only come up with about a dozen. But even though the 74-year-old local resident said he has long exhausted his personal bucket list of travel destinations, he has no plans to let his suitcase gather dust in the closet. He still has trips he wants to take, especially with his family – wife Ching, son Joe, 16, a student at Canyon Crest Academy, and daughter Lena, 20, a junior at USC. “I just really want to show my family some of the highlights of places I’ve been,” he said. For decades, Altaffer led tour groups to destinations around the globe, while also settling down between trips for stints at such jobs as ski instructor and high school history and geography teacher. He also loves to lecture and give slide shows about his travels at libraries, retirement communities and travel clubs, such as the Adventurers’ Club of Los Angeles, where he is a member. In mid-July, he and his family returned from a 14-day river cruise in Siberia. Russia is one of his favorite destinations, having first visited the country some 50 years ago. He said he has been to all 92 Russian states. On this recent trip, the family cruised along Siberia’s Ob River, beginning in Salekhard, the only city located directly on the Arctic Circle. Because the town is vital to Russia’s oil and gas trade, permits to visit are difficult to obtain. The family also spent several days taking in the sights in Moscow. Previously, Altaffer has taken his family to such exotic destinations as Assam, a region of northeast India, and North Korea. “I take them to places that are uncommon, difficult trips that no one else would go to,” he said. “I want them to see stuff that’s really unique.” Altaffer, who has been to North Korea a dozen times, conceded that, “my wife would kill me if I took my kids back again.” Trips he would like to take include Namibia, on Africa’s so-called Skeleton Coast, and river cruises through Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. He avoids such events as Rio’s Carnaval or the Olympics, figuring the crowds make it difficult to see much of the country. A native Southern Californian, Altaffer said he has been traveling since he was 7, when he went to Alaska with his parents, and he ultimately logged some 65 countries on trips with his mother and father. He has made a name for himself in travel circles. He’s a member of the Travelers’ Century Club, for visiting at least 100 countries or territories, and can also be found on the website MostTraveledPeople.com. The site considers that the world is made up of 875 “parts,” which include countries, territories, island groups, enclaves and large provinces of individual countries. Altaffer is currently fourth on the web site’s list of most traveled

However, he ranks No. 1 on the list of having visited the most UNESCO World Heritage sites, with 952 visited and 100 remaining. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in history from USC, then moved to Mammoth to become a ski instructor, before being hired by a travel agency to lead tours. Later in his career, he taught high school, both in Mammoth and South Central Los Angeles. While he’s been in tense situations during his travels, including countries under martial law, he said the most dangerous situations have involved flying on airplanes. “Out there in the world it’s never felt really dangerous except flying in West Africa,” he said. Once, when flying out of Luanda, the capital of Angola, he said, the plane’s engine caught fire during takeoff and the flight had to be aborted. Another time, he said, he and some companions were flying to an island off he coast of Somalia when the engine also caught fire on takeoff. Because there was only one flight a week and they wanted to get to the island, Altaffer said, they stayed on the plane while the flames were doused. “It took off again and we made it,” he said. He also recalled flights in Siberia when he looked out the window of the plane and saw the landing gear patched with duct tape. Fortunately, he said, the quality of the Russian air fleet has improved. Now retired, Altaffer is convinced his life has been enriched by his travels. “The greatest wealth in the world is to see the world. I don’t want a politician telling me what it’s like somewhere. I go there,” he said.

Grammy Award-winning singer Peter Frampton to perform live at Walden Family Services’ Wine D’Vine Walden Family Services, a nonprofit foster care and adoption agency, recently announced that guitarist and rock icon Peter Frampton will take the stage for an exclusive performance to benefit foster children, youth and families at the organization’s annual Wine D’Vine Gala on Friday, Oct. 13 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine. With such legendary hits as “Baby, I Love Your Way” and “Do You Feel Like I Do,” Frampton is one of the most celebrated artists and guitarists in rock history. At 16, he was lead singer AUSTIN LORD and guitarist for Peter Frampton British band the Herd. At 18, he co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie. His session work includes collaborations with such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, John Entwistle and many others. His fifth solo album, the electrifying Frampton Comes Alive!, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and remains one of the top-selling live records of all time. “We are thrilled that Peter Frampton is going to take the stage at Wine D’Vine,” said Walden Family Services CEO Teresa Stivers. "He is a world-renowned performer and we are excited he was available to perform for our Wine D’Vine event guests.”

Walden Family Services provides foster and adoptive homes to children with a focus on developmental disabilities and special health care needs. For older foster youth, Walden provides transitional housing , employment and educational support for youth to successfully transition from foster care to adulthood. Wine D’Vine is Walden’s largest fundraising event of the year. The 2017 event, chaired by Caroline and Nicolas Nierenberg and Cheryl and Jeff Smith, will feature a three-course dinner, wine from California’s leading vineyards, a live auction and private concert. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for organizations and individuals to highlight their commitment to ensuring our most vulnerable children have a brighter future. Tickets go on sale this month and can be purchased at waldenfamily.org/wine-dvine-2017/. “Given Peter Frampton’s popularity, tickets will sell out fast so we suggest ordering tickets as soon as they are available,” said Stivers. Wine D'Vine is attended by San Diego's elite business leaders, corporate partners and philanthropic supporters who seek to make the community a better place to live, work and raise families. The event will specifically honor longtime Walden supporters Mary Alice and Ron Brady with the Fostering Hearts Legacy Award.

Ransom the Moon takes first in Grade I, $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes BY KELLEY CARLSON In an eventful renewal of the Grade I, $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes on Saturday, July 29 at Del Mar, Ransom the Moon (far right) stayed clear of the riderless Drefong (center, black blinkers) and rallied to win by 1 1/2 lengths. Drefong - the champion sprinter of 2016 swerved at the start of the race and unseated jockey Mike Smith, then continued to run with the field. He bore out wide during the stretch, impacting runner-up Roy H and third-place finisher Moe Candy. Flavien Prat guided Ransom the Moon home in 1:09.63 over six furlongs on the dirt. “On the backside, I was concerned (about the loose horse, Drefong),” Prat said. “I thought he was going to

New hope discovered for Dwayne Youth soccer's top event coming to San Diego A happy, surprise-twist has occurred in a recovery journey that has had its ups and downs. During a pre-surgery examination July 27 at California Veterinary Specialists in Carlsbad, Dwayne’s medical team identified new hope and postponed a severe surgery that had been recently scheduled, according to a press release. Dwayne is a dog horribly disfigured by abuse in the streets of Tijuana, who has spent the past three months receiving loving care, surgeries and therapeutic medical treatments at Helen Woodward Animal Center. Ever the charmer, Dwayne gave friendly greetings to hospital staff (and other doggy patients) as he walked into his pre-surgery exam. Upon examination, the team was surprised to find that he seemed to be coping with the injured leg better than he had at his preliminary exam six weeks prior. “It appears as though his back right hip surgery has healed exceptionally well and has taken the strain off of his front right elbow,” said Dr. Patricia Carter, chief veterinarian and Dwayne’s foster mom. “Additionally, we’ve been doing physical therapy consistently over the past few weeks which seems to have had a positive impact on use of his elbow, too, Things are actually looking better than they were six weeks ago.” Originally, it had been determined that Dwayne’s front right leg would need to

Dwayne’s medical team, which includes professionals from both Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Companion Animal Hospital and the California Veterinary Specialists, determined July 27 that there may be an even better course of treatment for the loveable pup . The team will be launching a nation-wide search for the best experts to consult on his unique case. Those wishing to follow his story can find updates at animalcenter.org/news/dwaynes-journey.

BY MARK ZEIGLER Parents with kids playing on local teams in the U.S. Development Academy got some good news Friday, July 28: They’ll be saving some serious cash in future years. U.S. Soccer announced that its annual Development Academy Summer Showcase and Playoffs, a weeklong event each June involving nearly 500 teams filled with the nation’s top youth players, is coming to San Diego County for at least the next two years and possibly longer. “It’s big, very big, for San Diego soccer,” said Mike Connerley, president of Surf Cup Sports that operates the 22-field complexes in Del Mar and Oceanside hosting the event. “Many of the best players in the United States are from Southern California. But to have all the best players in the country playing in one place is very special.” U.S. Soccer created the Development Academy, or DA, in 2007 to enhance elite player growth and identification through a standardized coaching regimen – practicing more and playing fewer but more meaningful games against other top talent. There are six age divisions for boys starting at under-12 and four for girls starting at U-14. Youth clubs must be approved by U.S. Soccer to offer DA teams. The program operates 10 months a year, with practices at least four days a week. Players are not allowed to participate in outside competition, including, controversially, high school soccer. It also can be pricey in American soccer’s pay-to-play model (although scholarships are available), with teams often flying to other cities for league games plus winter and summer showcases.

The contract allows for games at either Surf Cup Sports sites: the 114 acres in Del Mar, and the 104-acre SoCal Sports Complex in Oceanside that opened in 2014. San Diego tourism officials estimate 32,000 visitors and 23,322 hotel room nights for the 2018 showcase. Officially it is a “multi-year agreement,” but the 2018 and 2019 events are believed to be guaranteed in San Diego with options for three additional years.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - AUGUST 3, 2017 - PAGE A17

Local woman recreates pet photos with painted portraits BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Jill Williams understands how much people adore their pets, creating pieces for them to always remember their fur babies. The Del Mar resident has been painting pet portraits for the last five years. “Pets are like family to people,” she said. “They are great company. Even if you have to clean up the litter or take them for a walk, you just love your pet.” Williams, a six-time published writer and former Broadway playwright who moved to Del Mar from Arizona three months ago, began painting the portraits about five years ago after discovering a knack for the art by creating murals of Navajo rug designs on her Tucson home’s walls. Eventually, someone asked her to paint a dog, who had recently passed away. Challenge accepted, Williams thought. Since then, she has painted more than 500 dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, pigs, horses and chickens. Williams, a senior citizen who lives alone with her feline Fattycat, said painting the animals gives her something to look forward to doing every day. She estimates she paints about two portraits a week, with each creation taking about three to five days to complete. “It’s a great way to live and be excited about your life,” she said, adding she only paints animals, not humans. “I see so many seniors who don’t know what to do with themselves. I wake up every morning and I can’t wait to start painting.” Williams only works off of photos sent to her of the pets. She starts off by blowing out the picture so she can cut out the outline of the animal. “The dimensions will be correct,” she said. “The rest is creativity.” Paintings sell for either $66.50 for a 7-inch-by-9-inch piece or for $91.50 for a 10-inch-by-13-inch piece. Williams will give insight on her work at upcoming FROM MARINE ARCHAEOLOGY, A8 SIO and the anthropology department jointly hired two new faculty members who’ve been studying climate change as the first step to grow SCMA. These new professors are Isabel Rivera-Collazo, who specializes in human resilience and adaptation to climate change on the island of Puerto Rico; and Jade d’Alpoim Guedes, a Harvard graduate who works on climate change in Tibet and China. Rivera-Collazo said she grew up on a small farm in the mountains above San Juan, Puerto Rico, where her family grew vegetables and herbs. “I ran all around the wilds of the mountain. We were like hermits. People would say, ‘Oh, look at those hippies!’ ” she laughed.

The people who supplied her family with irrigation equipment spoke Hebrew. Because she liked the sound of their language, when the opportunity came up, she went to Israel for the summer to study Hebrew and live on a kibbutz. “When I was in Israel, I discovered archaeology. There are so many treasures of the past in the Holy Land. So when I went back to school in Puerto Rico, I changed my major to archaeology. I later returned to Haifa to study underwater archaeology,” Rivera-Collazo said. She studies the Late Pleistocene and Holocene eras when modern man first arose. She has found habitation sites off the coast of Puerto Rico from the time when the oceans were much lower. “The last Glacial Maxim was 25,000 years ago.

hat’s left to say about the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Adult Transition Program debacle? Given the administration’s track record this past year, it’s no surprise that this program, which serves special education students ages 18-22, got bungled. No vision, no leadership, no planning, no transparency, no communication, no answers, no solutions. The pattern repeats itself. Lots of empty platitudes, meaningless apologies, embarrassments, back-pedaling, poor excuses, a circle-the-wagons CYA mentality. And that’s not just for ATP. Looking back this past year, let’s list the ways this district has fallen short. • The disastrous start of school at Torrey Pines High School saw hundreds of students flooding counseling offices to fix scheduling errors, severely disrupting classes for days and days. •Dozens of students and parents mobilized to demand the reinstatement of Torrey Pines AP physics teacher Will Harvie after his forced resignation. Under intense public pressure at a raucous school board meeting, the board relented and voted to refuse to accept his resignation, an action unheard of before in the district. With the physics department in turmoil, Advanced Placement students were in despair over precious lost instructional time. Harvie’s two weeks of “retirement” were recorded as a leave of absence. •Again at Torrey Pines, charges of pay-to-play surfaced in the school’s baseball program (a recurrent problem in athletics departments at all the district’s high schools). Although a district-funded investigation found little evidence of pay-to-play wrong-doing at TPHS, parent Wendy Gumb is challenging the findings and has filed an appeal with the state’s Calif. Dept. of Education over the pupil-fee issue, so

CORRECTIONS •In a July 27 story on San Dieguito Synchro swim club athletes' results at the Junior Olympics, it should have said that Joanne Wang attends Torrey Pines High School and Jamie Xiao attends The Bishop's School. •Due to incorrect information in a press release, the name of the presenter of the Opening Day Hat Contest was incorrect last issue. The Opening Day Hat Contest was presented by Studio Savvy Salon.

it’s not over yet. • In a related matter, trustees at a recent board meeting reviewed allegations of favoritism connected to the construction and use of the TP baseball batting cages. Steps are being taken to address the issues. •The district’s high school foundations are under fire for the way teams and clubs structure their appeals for money, a perpetual complaint. One Torrey Pines volleyball team email read, “The foundation has asked that everyone get the bus fee in ASAP, or your son may not be allowed to ride the bus to and from games. If they do not ride the bus, they cannot play.” No question that this is pay-to-play. • The decision to offer costly stipends to determine the number of teachers planning to retire was a bust. The intent, brought to the board for a vote by SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill, was to get in early on the hiring process for those hard-to-fill teaching positions of science, math and special education. For no logical reason, the district extended the offer to all employees – upper management and classified personnel including receptionists, bus drivers, gardeners, maintenance workers and others. Of the 36 employees who took advantage of the 5-percent stipends, only four were teachers of math and science. No special ed. teachers retired. •The district’s mishandling of and opposition to the SOUL charter school petition led the SOUL team to seek approval from the county, which was granted. Dill was the only speaker at the county Board of Education’s meeting to oppose approval. Now we hear expressions of cooperation and assistance for SOUL – too little, too late. • The district says its test return policy ensures that tests and quizzes (those that are not

FROM MARINE ARCHAEOLOGY, A17 has been warming steadily. But here were two periods when the rapid melting of ice stopped for several thousand years ... long enough for coastal civilizations to develop. These two periods of stability of the ocean level are called the Younger Dryas and the Bolling Allerod,” Rivera-Collazo explained. These stable periods can also be observed off the coast of La Jolla at depths of 24 meters (78 feet) and 59 (193 feet) meters. At these depths, underwater archaeologists have found evidence of Native civilizations. In 1964, more than 100 Native American stone bowls were brought up by SIO divers. It is predicted that a more thorough study of sites at these depths will reveal human presence dating back 8,000-14,000 years. These will undoubtedly be the oldest sites in San Diego, where almost all inland archaeological sites are younger than 7,000 years. Rivera-Collazo will be joined by Guedes, who graduated with a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2013. Like her colleague, Guedes grew up on a farm where she helped her father collect seeds in Portugal. Guedes said she has been studying climate change and adaptation along the coast in China and in Tibet, and like Rivera-Collazo,

www.rsfreview.com national or district-wide assessments) must be released to students to take home for parental review when requested. Yet this continues to be challenging for parents who ask for this basic right. Teachers hedge, deny and stall – while principals make excuses and pretend to be powerless. Where is leadership from the district office to ensure that this student-friendly policy is enforced? •The 22-acre site at La Costa Valley in what’s technically a tiny section of Carlsbad was turned into an athletic center. The city of Carlsbad was asked to oversee the site, even though San Dieguito is based in Encinitas. Carlsbad first accepted and then rejected the offer, and now in a setback the district will oversee use of the center itself. • Parents continue to be bombarded with desperate pleas for basic educational materials and supplies, like Kleenex and science equipment. Equally disturbing is the lack of financial support for music programs. SDUHSD seems content to rely on parent donations for music, in contrast to the support neighboring districts provide to their music programs, which they regard as essential and integral to a well-rounded education. Meanwhile, $6.5 million in general fund money is spent annually on a 12.5-percent salary increase awarded to every employee last year by a 3-2 board vote. It’s hard for the district to poor-mouth and beg parents for cash when the district behaves internally as if money grows on trees. • Support for state Sen. Anthony Portantino’s start times bill, which states that middle and high schools can start no earlier than 8:30 a.m., is a no-brainer, if the district is serious about improving the health, well-being and academic performance of its students. “Let’s show some leadership and support this bill,” SDUHSD board member John Salazar wrote to fellow board members. The response? Crickets. ***** There’s more, so much more. Next week the list continues. But there is a solution. It starts at the top with the school board. – Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com. she is very interested in making archaeology relevant and useful for modern times. One of the amazing applications of Guedes’ work is the recommendation she made to introduce Hopi Indian corn to Ethiopia where it is getting too hot and too dry to grow its staple crop of bananas. She has further recommended the return to the farming older grains, which were once staples on the Tibetan plateau in the days when Tibet was a warmer land, like it is now becoming again. Of our impending local problems with the sea, Guedes said, “It is essential to understand how humans from the deep past of La Jolla dealt with challenges, such as a rising sea level and a changing coastline, and to highlight the similarities and differences to what our town faces today, so that we can take the best path forward in protecting this beautiful place.” With such a great staff, Hildebrand is confident that SCMA has a rosy future. “We want to have a lot of public participation in our work, and that will include seminars and workshops for people to come and get involved. We are also going to have a field school where people can learn underwater archaeology, both in Israel and right here in La Jolla!” he said. ■ Want to know more? Visit scma.ucsd.edu

he “Striking A Chord” benefit concert, which was held July 29 at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, raised more than $30,000 for the ALS Association Greater San Diego Chapter. The benefit was conceived by local resident Megan Spector after her Aunt Marjie Block was diagnosed with ALS. Currently there is no cure for this disease, and the life expectancy of patients is tragically short, typically two to five years from diagnosis. Megan’s aunt has defied this statistic and continues to wage her daily fight with ALS, which is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, named after the famous New York Yankees baseball star. Hosted by 27-time Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and author Jane Mitchell, the event featured a variety of singers from across the United States. One-hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the ALS Association to support finding a cure for this disease.

San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy hires conservation, education managers The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) has hired Jack Hughes as conservation manager and Ana Lutz as education manager. As conservation manager, Hughes is responsible for the coordination and implementation of conservation programs for the SDRVC. He will continue to lead habitat-restoration projects in the San Dieguito River watershed and take an active role in SDRVC's efforts to improve water quality, including through participation in projects

FROM COYOTES, A2 jumped and landed precisely at the top of the wall, which is no more than 6 inches wide. At first I thought it was a cat. They are amazingly agile, stealth and incredibly fast,” Perez said. “After witnessing this in my own backyard, thankful that my dog was inside the house, I completely understand how our Carmel Valley pets have been swiftly snatched from the safety of their backyards.” A month ago, Vicki Wright’s dog Sadie was attacked by a coyote in the garden of her home near Ashley Falls School. The attack happened at 9:30 p.m. and her husband ran outside and yelled at the coyote until it left Sadie and jumped over the fence into her neighbors’ yard. The Wrights were at the emergency vet until 1 a.m. getting her stitched up. “She is back to her normal self but she was very lucky we scared the coyote off,” said Wright, who was startled to see a huge coyote in her garden again around 7:20 a.m. on July 31. “It is scary because they keep coming back. The one I saw in the garden this morning wasn’t scared of me until I screamed at it. They are getting braver by the day.” Del Mar resident Steven Chinowsky had a similar incident with his 9-and-a-half-week old puppy Rosey, a golden retriever mix, on Hidden Pines Lane and Pine Needles Drive on July 14. Around 6:15 a.m. that morning Rosey was playing off leash, about 10 feet up a hill in the Chinowsky’s yard. “All of a sudden I see a blur of fur,” said Chinowsky. “I heard a yelp and I looked and our puppy was gone. Fortunately she yelped and howled as the coyote carried her away and I took off running after it, barefoot in my pajamas.” He followed Rosey’s sounds as he chased the coyote across the neighbors’ yard. The coyote got trapped, dropped the puppy and ran off. Rosey had smartly crawled and hid under a bush. She was terrified when Chinowsky picked her up from the bush but only had one small bite on the top of her head and after a trip to the vet she was fine. “It was pretty intense,” Chinowsky said. “I should have known better. Now we don’t take her off leash.” Chinowsky said the more he tells his story, the more he hears of similar incidents from neighbors. One

Hughes will also work with SDRVC's partners to bring the most effective scientific methods and tools to bear on conservation and field research projects, and lead the San Dieguito Citizen Science Monitoring Program. As education manager, Lutz is responsible for developing, implementing, leading and growing the Conservancy’s education and outreach programs, including Watershed Explorers, Watershed Explorers Experiences,

neighbor on Recuerdo Drive in Del Mar unfortunately lost their puppy to a coyote a couple weeks ago. “I feel like with all of the development all over Carmel Valley, coyotes are getting pushed out of their habitats,” Chinowsky said. “We’re in a ridiculous position, we’ve gotten rid of their habitats and in order to live, they’re living off our pets. We’ve lived in the Del Mar area since 2004 and we never saw a coyote. Now it seems like we’re seeing them more and more and they’re more aggressive.” Dan DeSousa, a certified animal welfare administrator in San Diego County’s Department of Animal Services, said there are a couple of different reasons why a community may be seeing more coyotes in the area. “First and foremost, there may just be more of them. As predators, coyote populations tend to mimic the populations of their prey species. So more rabbits in the area equals a larger food source for the coyotes which can cause an increase in the litter size for a coyote or even a smaller territory for a specific coyote, thus allowing another coyote to move closer,” DeSousa said. “The coyotes may also be losing their fear of people and are thus more visible to the community. We are making it too easy for coyotes to coexist with us and thus they are associating more and more in residential areas rather than the canyons where they should be found. “Despite the cartoons depicting Wile E. Coyote as a bumbling buffoon, coyotes are actually very smart and have been in Southern California long before it was even called Southern California. They have learned to co-exist with us and we, as the smarter of the two species, need to learn how to co-exist with them or push them back into the canyons and open space where they belong,” DeSousa said. “When I said that we have made it too easy for the coyotes, we have. We leave dog food and cat food outside overnight, which draws in not only cats and dogs but also skunks, rats, opossums and coyotes. After all, why should a coyote try to chase down a rabbit when it has a bowl of food left out for it every night? They are also very adept at getting into our trash cans and even eating fallen fruit from trees. Unfortunately, when they are in a person’s yard or even loose in the

Citizen Science, Coastal Wetlands Field Ecology Project, and others in the San Dieguito River Watershed. Hughes is drawing on five years’ experience working with the Montana Conservation Corps, including two AmeriCorps terms of service and two years on staff coordinating projects in habitat restoration, trail maintenance and construction for young adult crews. That experience inspired him to go to graduate school at Oregon State University where he got a degree in Environmental Policy.

Lutz is a native San Diegan, born and raised in North County. She has a BA in Environmental Studies from Cal State San Marcos, with a minor in Anthropology. Lutz is extremely passionate about grassroots projects. SDRVC's education goals are to develop future conservationists, and to improve academic engagement, performance, and physical and social well-being for people of all ages and abilities.

The Coyote Vest is made locally in San Diego to help protect dogs. neighborhood, they will attack people’s pets. Again, because it is easier for them to do so.” At their homes, DeSousa advises people to pick up their pet food and any fallen or low hanging fruit and clear their shrubs and hedges to remove hiding places. Another option for homeowners is a coyote roller. A coyote roller is a 4-foot, aluminum extruded ribbed roller designed to prevent animals from getting the foothold they need to climb over a fence. It is simple, safe, humane, requires no power source and constructed to last a lifetime. Learn more at coyoteroller.com To make it less easy for the coyotes to co-exist and live in residential neighborhoods, DeSousa said people need to haze the coyotes. Hazing is a way to reinstill the natural fear of humans in the coyote. Using a different variety of hazing tools is critical so coyotes don’t get used to redundant or single sounds and actions. Some methods of hazing include: •Yelling and waving your arms, making yourself as big as possible. •Using noisemakers like whistles, air horns, bells, or homemade shaker cans full of marbles or coins • Using projectiles such as sticks, small rocks or tennis balls The simplest method of hazing a coyote is standing tall and waving your arms and yelling at the coyote. If the coyote has not been hazed before, he may not immediately run away when you yell at him. If this happens, you may need to walk toward the coyote and increase the intensity of your hazing.

As DeSousa said, it’s important that people supervise their pets at all times. Use a leash as often as possible and when walking your dog, carry your hazing noisemakers, squirt guns, pepper spray or sticks and objects to throw toward a coyote. It’s important to remember to never run away from a coyote. The coyote may not leave at first but if you approach close, he will run away. If the coyote runs away a short distance and then stops and looks at you, continue hazing until he completely leaves the area. It usually takes one or two times to haze a coyote away for good. “While many people ask to have the coyote captured and relocated or euthanized, that will not solve the problem until we eliminate the reasons that the coyotes are in our neighborhoods in the first place,” DeSousa said. “Removing one coyote only opens that territory up for one or more coyotes to move in.” In San Diego, some people have taken the extra step of outfitting their dogs with protective Coyote Vests. Dogs look like little punk rockers in vests with spikes and big, colorful “whiskers.” Coyote Vests were created by Scripps Ranch couple Pamela and Paul Mott after they lost their rescue dog Buffy to a coyote. Paul Mott had been at the park with Buffy and their two other dogs — as he loaded the two dogs in his car, Buffy was behind him in the grass. He heard a yelp and turned to see Buffy in the coyote’s mouth, running off with her. She was never seen again. “It was horrible to lose what we considered a family member. We

couldn’t really enjoy our walks anymore,” Pamela Mott said. As Paul is an engineer, he began doing research and experimenting with a potential prevention tool for dogs. He started with a spiked coyote collar and they sold them on etsy.com. Eventually his design evolved to make a stab-resistant Kevlar vest, with add-ons like rows of spikes, laminated side panels, throat guards, coyote zappers and coyote whiskers, which look like broom bristles or porcupine quills. “We came up with the whiskers because it would make it very hard for a coyote to get a dog. The whiskers would get in their eye or mouth and deter them from getting ahold of the dog,” Pamela said. They were careful to ensure that all of their vests and accessories are not too heavy, uncomfortable or hot for the dogs to wear. “We aren’t out to kill the coyote, we just don’t want our dogs to be snacks for a coyote,” Pamela said. She has heard feedback from clients that the coyotes seem to be wary of dogs wearing the vests with whiskers and spikes as they are not sure what they are — one customer reported “freaking out” seeing three coyotes in her backyard while the dog was wearing the vest. Thankfully, the coyotes did not attack and the owner was able to run out and get her dog safely inside. While Pamela has not heard a report of a coyote attacking a dog in a vest, she did hear about dogs in the Coyote Vest being attacked by another aggressive dog. In one such incident in Del Mar, the owner said without the vest, their smaller dog would have been seriously injured. Since they have started Coyote Vests, Pamela said they have received messages from all over the country, people pouring their hearts out and sharing their stories. Pamela said she tries to respond to every one. “I feel like I really build a relationship with our customers. They love their fur babies and they want to make sure they’re going to be OK,” Pamela said. “I think of it like a cop who wears a bulletproof vest. It does not protect all of the body or guarantee survival but you’ve covered the target zone. And something is better than nothing. We’ve found the vest works quite well in protecting the dogs.” To learn more, visit coyotevest.com and bit.ly/2tXji10

FROM PORTABLES, A1 last week — some said they weren’t as bad as they thought although many remarked that there was not enough windows and natural light, and some questioned whether the rooms had enough space to accommodate students in wheelchairs. Others, who had seen the portables before, said there had been improvements since the last time they saw them, both inside and outside with the landscaping. The air conditioning was working and the rooms were cool and did not appear to smell badly as some parents alleged at the last board meeting. Dill said the modulars, and the technology the portables are outfitted with, are similar to the 160 portables used throughout the district for general education. “The classrooms wouldn’t be that bad if not for the juxtaposition of the brand new state-of-the-art school buildings just 10 feet away,” one parent said, noting the real issue is the perception that ATP students are “second-class citizens” and that their facilities are “separate and unequal.” In July, the board split 2-2 on spending $33,000 to improve the conditions of the existing portables by adding two windows and two doors with windows. Dill did not respond to a request for comment about whether the board could reconsider adding them at a future board meeting. “We heard the concerns about the lighting,” Dill added, noting that they have ordered LED lighting to replace the fluorescent lights in the portables. The four-year program currently has three teachers, 20 students and 10 aides. Next year there could be as many as 47 students — along with the needed support staff there could be approximately 62 adults in the two portables

with only two bathrooms. “We know we have a surge in enrollment this year and we recognize that we can’t put all 47 students into those classrooms,” Dill said. As a short-term solution they have found the third classroom at La Costa Canyon, so there will be one cohort of ATP students attending at La Costa while the others remain at Earl Warren. Dill said they will work to re-purpose the two other nearby classrooms at LCC and re-locate ATP to three classrooms at the campus in 2018. Dlll said there are some trade-offs with the LCC location, as it is in Carlsbad so it is not as centrally located as Earl Warren in Solana Beach, and there is little public transportation and fewer community amenities. Some parents urged the district to find three classrooms at LCC now, which might displace the popular culinary arts program. “Culinary arts is an elective, our kids are not an elective” one parent said. Another long-term solution Dill proposed is that the district is hoping to accelerate the reconstruction of Sunset High School, which is a campus entirely made of modulars from the 1980s. As part of that reconstruction, Dill they would build permanent special education program buildings and a home for ATP. As both solutions are explored, Dill said the district will continue to build relationships with local community colleges in an effort to place the ATP program on a college campus where ATP students could interact with similar-age peers. At the July 28 meeting held inside Earl Warren’s new gymnasium, parent Lucile Lynch thanked Dill for the opportunity for parents to share their concerns.

On Aug. 17, the restaurant at 6106 Paseo Delicias will reopen under the name Nick & G’s and its new executive chef will be Brian Freerksen. His past culinary credits include stints at Urge Gastropub & Common House, La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club and Paradise Point Resort & Spa in San Diego. Grand Restaurant Group officials confirmed July 28 that Ponsaty is no longer with the company. His photo and biography have been removed from the company’s website. But Ponsaty’s attorney, Eric Ludwig, said the chef has yet to receive a termination

ATP parents toured the portable classrooms at Earl Warren Middle School on July 28. “What you’re hearing is a lot of frustration,” Lynch said. “It’s unfortunate that the proposed solution is to remain in the portables, but it may be the only solution available now.” Many parents voiced frustration that it seemed like the district was just now learning about their many concerns when they felt like they have been vocal for a long time. Over the last few years, parents of students with disabilities have spoken out several times — resulting in the formation of a special education parent forum in the summer of 2016. The forum met several times over the last year but member Lynch said that despite some parent input, their message was not properly communicated to the district. Parents also say they were misled about the ATP facilities— a floor plan for the facility was shared in fall 2016 and parents asked if they could provide input and were assured they would be able to at a later date, Lynch said. When parents inquired about the progress throughout the year, however, they were told that the “walls are going up,” suggesting the construction of actual buildings not portables. A time to provide input never came, not until May

notice. “We were happy to hear of the rebranding,” Ludwig said. “We don’t want them to use Patrick’s name or likeness or call it Ponsaty’s if he’s no longer in the kitchen. We don’t think it’s fair to the community or to Patrick.” The fall of Ponsaty’s is a surprise ending to a restaurant concept that Ponsaty said last year was the culmination of his culinary dreams. Over the past 20 years, the chef has built a loyal following among San Diego County diners. Since January 2013, he had worked for the Escondido hospitality company Grand Restaurant Group, where he oversaw the menus and catering for its properties, Ponsaty’s, Bellamy’s Restaurant in Escondido, The Ranch at Bandy Canyon in the San Pasqual Valley and Verbena Catering Co. Ponsaty — who is one just two French

when parents first toured the portables. “I think you have to flat-out admit that the mentality of our district for the last 10 years has been that ATP is just an afterthought,” said parent Mary Beyer. “We’ve just been put to the side and never given the same consideration as other students, whether it’s classrooms or curriculum. That’s how I see it. If the district doesn’t change its mentality it will all be the same. “Our kids are important and our kids matter. Our parent group cares about our kids and the future that they have.” “Absolutely, that’s not my mentality to treat any of our programs as an afterthought,” Dill responded. Parents also wanted accountability for what they felt was a breakdown in planning and suggested someone should be fired for not doing their job. Dill shouldered the responsibility for former special education director Chuck Adams, who is now an assistant principal in the district. There is currently no director of special education and Meredith Wadley, the new director of school and student services, is now leading the program. “I’m sick to my stomach with some of the stuff that has

happened to you,” Wadley, near tears, told the parents. “I just want to move forward and just want to make this right for the kids.” Dill said he has confidence in Wadley’s abilities moving forward, saying she is “doer” with a vested interest in what happens in the community — while she is new to her position she has been with the district for 30 years and even graduated from Earl Warren. In her short few weeks on the job, Wadley said she has been working hard to address the issues with the ATP program. One parent pointed out, however, that the parents’ concerns are far bigger than just the portables. In June parents of special education students handed over a 41-page petition to the district outlining the many ways they hope the district can reform a “broken” special education program, calling out “inadequate” curriculum and too low expectations in addition to the lack of equal treatment in facilities planning, not being included in Prop AA funding or planning. “ATP was not part of the district’s vision for safe and modern schools,” one parent said. “What justification can you give for excluding the ATP program from receiving Prop AA funds?” “Students with disabilities were not left out of Prop AA,” Dill said. Dill said special education and ATP are part of the district’s overall facility master plan, which uses more than just Prop AA funds. Dill also clarified a comment that ATP was not included in the Prop AA project list because the bond language was written more broadly to cover a multitude of programs on each campus. As an example, he said that the project list doesn’t read “art room at Earl Warren,” it simply reads “Earl

Master Chefs in San Diego — grew up in Southern France where he started cooking school at age 15. He honed his skills in Monaco and Spain, then moved to New York in the mid-1990s. He came to San Diego in 1997 to help chef Jean-Michel Diot open Tapenade, then settled in as chef de cuisine at the El Bizcocho restaurant at Rancho Bernardo Inn in 1998. During his time at the now-shuttered El Bizcocho, Ponsaty made it one of the most-acclaimed restaurants in San Diego. In 2003, he left the Inn to lead Bernard’O restaurant in Rancho Bernardo, then moved to La Bastide in Scripps Ranch and finally the Loews Coronado Bay Resort before joining Grand Restaurant Group in 2013. The chef had described Ponsaty’s restaurant, which opened Aug. 2 of last year, as a place where he could spotlight all of the

Warren.” Wadley said that the district needs to develop a strategic plan for special education overall — she said it is a lofty goal but her goal is to get it done. Like Wadley and Dill, the two SDUHSD board members present, Amy Herman and Mo Muir, also stated their commitment to concentrating on the ATP program and finding solutions. In her comments, Lynch advocated for a special education oversight committee to ensure public noticing, public input and board reporting. Muir pushed for establishing the standing special education committee to be put on a future board agenda. At the meeting, one parent made reference to a letter sent to the district on July 27 from Disability Rights California regarding the portables. “Disability Rights California has serious concerns regarding what appears to be discrimination against students with disabilities, as well as health and safety concerns regarding the physical capacity of the classrooms,” the letter states, The letter also states that they are concerned that the portable classrooms do not meet the requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which prohibits disability-based discrimination in federally-funded programs, including public schools. The regulations state that if a school district “operates a facility that is identifiable as being for handicapped persons, the recipient shall ensure that the facility...(is) comparable to the other facilities provided to students without disabilities.” Dill said the district is working with legal counsel in regard to Disability Rights California’s letter.

dishes he’d become known for, with a focus on cuisine from the Basque regions of France and Spain. The restaurant’s niche when it opened was “fine dining,” and earlier this summer it unveiled a “secret” dining room for well-heeled diners willing to spend a minimum of $500. Grand Restaurant Group officials have yet to unveil how the pricey secret room figures into the new concept or menu. A “celebration dinner” on Aug. 17 will introduce the community to the company’s new ideas. Meanwhile, Ponsaty said he’s mulling a couple of new opportunities around San Diego and wherever he ends up customers can expect he will continue his same commitment to quality ingredients. – Pam Kragen is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Mendocino Farms at Del Mar Highlands Town Center brings husband and wife full circle BY SEBASTIAN MONTES In the midst of looking in on their restaurant-in-the making at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen take pause among the clamor of drills and hammers to consider the happily circuitous path that dates back to the day more than 15 years ago when Mario proposed to Ellen atop the bluffs of Dog Beach in Del Mar. The serendipity isn’t lost on the husband-and-wife team as they talk excitedly about returning to the Del Mar area to open the latest—and biggest—location of Mendocino Farms, their refined-but-casual eatery known for an uncompromising devotion to sandwiches and salads made exclusively from seasonal, carefully-chosen ingredients. Their venture now boasts 15 locations, mostly in and around Los Angeles. The opening of their 16th location has already given them the chance to reconnect with the many families they knew when Chen, a UCSD grad, lived in Del Mar. No coincidence, then, that they’re pulling out all the stops in transforming the 4,000-square-foot space that was formerly Carnitas’ Snack Shack and the Nekter Juice Bar that had been next door. When it opens at the end of this month — Aug. 24 is penciled-in as the grand opening — the new outpost will try to build on the popularity of the La Jolla location they opened eight months ago, the first of five that they hope to bring to the San Diego area. Crafted by architects Bluemotif and interior designers Vanrooy (another husband-and-wife team), the space will feature a “coastal bohemian” blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, defined by flourishes that include a living wall more than 30 feet tall, a “secret garden” and art installation for children to cavort and create, Moroccan tile rugs, a communal table, an outdoor fireplace, even a cornhole court. “Our passion is to give people that same

experience you want from a full-service restaurant — quality of food, quality of environment — yet we can break a ton of rules the full-service restaurants can’t,” Del Pero said over the commotion of workmen hammering and drilling and sawing away at the herringbone wood, scarcely any drywall in sight. “We want to be a gathering place. Go ahead and let your kids run around. Go ahead and stay at this table for three hours. Don’t even spend. If you want to just meet people, come on over here and hang out. We want this to be a place that parents know they can come with their kids but still have upscale food in an upscale environment. We’re not just saying it; we’re backing it up with square footage.” But for all the doting over decor and design, Mendocino Farms has made its name on the food. Its produce is delivered daily from Jeff Stein’s Scarborough Farms in Oxnard. They smoke their own meats at their central kitchen. The only chicken they’ll serve comes from Mary’s Organic Chicken in San Joaquin Valley. On tap, they’ll feature four wines and eight beers, seven of which will be local. Craving artisanal soft serve? They’ve got that, too, from Sweet Rose Creamery in L.A. “Health is so important down here, people really care about the ingredients they put into their bodies,” Chen says. “It’s a really great way to eat, so I think there’s just a great alignment.” Adds her husband: “For us it’s not how many can we open, it’s what special places can we take this?” Del Pero says. “This has been one of the special places we’ve been looking at since I proposed to her. This would likely be the neighborhood we would live in if we didn’t live where we do, so it’s really exciting for us to be able to share this particular store with a neighborhood that we think so highly of. That’s why probably we put so much into it. This is by far our most expensive build out. This is for Del Mar, it’s our gift to the neighborhood.” Location: 12873, El Camino Real, San Diego, 92130. mendocinofarms.com/del-mar

‘Salsa Under the Stars’ brings night of dancing to Pacific Highlands Ranch BY KAREN BILLING Some of the best dancers in San Diego will come together on Saturday, Aug. 12 for Salsa Under the Stars, a night of dancing at the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley from 6:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The salsa social will include free professional dance instruction, social dancing and exciting performances from world-class dancers in the plaza between restaurants Westroot Tavern, Dolce, Wokou and Crudo. While attendees can expect to hear a lot of salsa, other popular music genres include Cha Cha, Merengue, Bachata, Reggaeton and Latin hip hop. The event will also feature a raffle to raise funds for local dance nonprofits such as Dance Away Dementia, Soldiers who Salsa and Dance After School. A second salsa night is slated for Saturday, Sept. 9. Salsa Under the Stars is the passion project of Randy Kish, a local resident who runs Carpe Soul Productions. A former world champion amateur dancer, Kish has been working for years to bring salsa to the Carmel Valley community. Kish said North County in general lacks both salsa dance venues as well as dance instruction.

Alma Latina will perform at Salsa Under the Stars on Aug. 12. “Carmel Valley, with its countless exercise-oriented facilities and studios geared toward our children, is void of both dance instruction and dance venues for adults who want to learn to dance,” Kish said. “I bring in world class salsa instruction and performance into a community where there’s a lack of

it. This is about bringing the salsa scene here and helping people develop a passion for it like I did.” Kish said he also believes the high-energy event can help infuse life into the Village on weekend nights. He said at times the evenings can be buzzing with foot traffic, however, it consistently

COURTESY

slows at 8:30 to 9 p.m. as patrons leave for other venues that offer dancing. “Those types of venues should not close early,” said Kish of Westroot, Dolce, Wokou and Crudo. “Salsa night provides a viable method to both increase foot traffic and create a magnetism to keep

customers, both adults and families with kids, in the plaza and filling seats in these fine new restaurants.” Salsa Under the Stars will begin on Aug. 12 with 7 p.m. kid and teen performances from the World Champion Alma Latina Kids. From 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., there will be world-class salsa instruction from Josh Gorden (founder of Salsa on the Beach in San Diego) and Bianca Chapman, who with her partner Segio Jasso (director of San Diego’s Alma Latina Dance Company) is ranked second in the world in the On2 Professional Salsa division of World Latin Dance. From 8:30 to 10 p.m., there will be social dancing in the plaza with international DJ “Mambo” Castillo. Beginning at 10:30 p.m., people will get the opportunity to watch performances from professional dancers, including Mike Cahill and Erica Saucillo, who are prepping for the world stage at New York International Salsa Congress, a two-week Latin music and dance festival; and Alma Latino Pro, world champions five times over. From 11:45 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., the party moves indoors with Latin hip hop music and dancing inside Westroot Tavern and Wokou. Visit phrvillage.com. Address: 13490 Pacific Highlands Ranch Pkwy, Carmel Valley, 92130.

SPONSORED COLUMNS PANCHO DEWHURST GDC Construction 858.551.5222

Preserving Your Historical Property At GDC Construction, we know it is important to preserve the history and charm of our unique community of La Jolla. With so many architectural gems in this “jewel” we call home, we passionately believe in historical preservation. Over the years, we have worked on dozens of preservation remodels of historical properties. These include: my grandfather’s remodel of the La Jolla landmark the Athenaeum in 1956, which now serves as an art and music library; my father’s 1984 remodel of the YMCA La Jolla Firehouse as a youth center; my renovation of the La Jolla Community Center; and GDC’s recent remodel of La Jolla Firehouse 13. The San Diego Historical Resources Board

is responsible for designating a local home or building as historic. Then, the California Mills Act allows homeowners to get a tax rebate for maintaining a historical property, an incentive that can go a long way to helping preserve the character that people have come to associate with La Jolla. Preserving a historic property isn’t always simple. If you are interested in restoring or preserving a historic property, there are some important steps to consider. If you are interested in purchasing an older property and want to know if it is listed as a historic home, you can research the home’s deed trust to discover its original build-date and learn more about its history. The National Register of Historic Places and the National Trust for Historic Preservation provide lists of historic homes and properties for sale. Also, you can check with local building conservation associations or historic societies in your area, such as the La Jolla Historical Society. However, if you are wanting to permit a signiﬁcant alteration, or demolition, to a building that is older than 45 years old, it

will automatically trigger a review by the historic resources board during the permit process. If the property has characteristics of a specific style, is associated with persons or events that were historically significant, or a master architect, designer or builder, you will need a site-specific historic report. This report will be reviewed by the historic resources board and at a hearing, it will be determined if you property is designated historic or not. Historic properties will come with restrictions on what you may do to alter the exterior of the building and landscape, but not the interior. Therefore, it is crucial to always make sure you hire a licensed contractor who specializes in restoration or rehabilitation. Also, there is a big difference between “restoring” and “rehabilitating” historic properties. Restoring a house means returning the appearance of both the exterior and interior of the structure to the time period in which it was built. For homes of a certain age, strict preservation usually isn’t possible. For example, if the house did not originally have

indoor plumbing, but you plan to live in the home and don’t want that level of “rustic authenticity,” then you will likely not choose a strict restoration! Another reason not to seek strict restoration might be historic renovations made to the home, especially if provenance comes into play. For example, if Marilyn Monroe previously owned your house and retiled a wood ﬂoor in hard-to-ﬁnd pink ceramic tile, there may be a strong historic appeal to keeping that addition. Restoring can be costly, but recreating old woodwork and other handcrafted elements of the original home with original artisanal materials will also restore its value and will boost your appreciation of your historic home.

August: Hot time for music at Bayside Summer Nights

Angelique Kidjo brings her exhilarating song stylings to San Diego

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ngelique Kidjo. She’s not exactly a household name here, but she’s been called “Africa’s Greatest Living Diva” and “the Undisputed Queen of African Music,” and she’s one of this month’s headliners at San Diego Symphony’s Bayside Summer Nights concert series. Catch her on YouTube, and you’ll want to see her in person on Aug. 13. Among her influences are Miriam Makeba, Stevie Wonder and Carlos Santana, but her style is her own. She sings in Yoruba, Swahili, French and English, mixing AfroBeat and traditional sounds from her native Benin with rock, soul and salsa. A multiple Grammy-winner, Kidjo has performed with Dr. John (another Bayside headliner), Herbie Hancock, Peter Gabriel, and the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra — and Philip Glass has set three of her poems to music. She now lives in Brooklyn, tours widely, recently won raves for a Carnegie Hall concert of Talking Heads songs, and has been honored not only for her music, but for her activism on behalf of UNICEF, OXFAM and African women’s rights. If you’ve never been to one of the Bayside concerts, you’re in for a treat. The setting is stunning: you go from daylight to sunset to

Symphony’s Bayside Summer Nights Aug. 13. COURTESY

moon-glow overlooking a waterfront panorama, this year’s lineup is more varied then ever, and it’s a perfect way to spend an August evening. Other upcoming attractions include bossa nova king Sergio Mendes (Aug. 6), the one and only Tony Bennett (Aug. 15), and the soulful Commodores (Aug. 26). There’s also a special salute to Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, the musical team behind “Fiddler on the Roof,” featuring the 2016 Tony-nominated Tevye, Danny Burstein — sadly, no relation to me. Besides everyone’s favorite “Fiddler” hits, there will be a selection of songs from lesser-known shows by the late composer Bock and the still-active, 93-year-old lyricist Harnick (Aug. 18 and 19, with post-concert fireworks included). According to Martha Gilmer, who has been the Symphony’s CEO since 2014: “Last year, attendance at the Bayside series was record-breaking, and ticket sales this year have already exceeded last year’s total! We’ve really stretched the range of artists we’re bringing in, and we’re reaching out to more varied audiences. “We have a first-class sound system, we’ve enhanced our LED screen so you can have an excellent view no matter where you sit, and we have great food, wine and beer available too. We want to make the whole experience as wonderful as possible.” ■ IF YOU GO: All concerts take place at the Embarcadero Marina South, gates open at 6 p.m. and concerts start at 7:30 p.m. Bring your own picnic — excluding glass containers and alcoholic beverages — or choose from offerings at the food and refreshment plaza. Tickets at sandiegosymphony.org

FROM TENNIS, B8 programs to help qualified families and children. Guests were moved by Brad and Beth Thorp, co-founders of the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, when they shared their story about how and why they started the foundation in memory of their son, Mitchell, who passed away in 2008 from an undiagnosed illness and the impact they make on the children and families that come to them in desperate need. The Pillars of Hope award was given out to two distinguished honorees in the medical field and research for cures: Dr. Andrew Accardi with Scripps Hospital and Dr. George Tidmarsh, La Jolla Pharmaceutical. Other event highlights were special guests Shelby Rogers and Darija Jurak, two top-ranked professionals who made an appearance, and pro Maria Sharapova who posed for photos with the kids from the event. Michael Edon kept everyone entertained with music and Darren Diess, auctioneer, filled the evening with fun and laughter while getting people to bid on the live auction items. This year, 26 kids participated in the tennis clinic, whose parents came and enjoyed the charity event while their children played tennis with the pros, no experience necessary, or enjoyed fun and games with the Mitchell Thorp Youth Leadership Team.

Director and Chief Curator of the Museum of Photographic Arts, Deborah Klochko started at MOPA in 2006, after years of experience in photography museums as educator, director and curator. “My proudest accomplishment has been to position MOPA as a museum for the 21st Century,” she said. “The artist Olafur Eliasson said it best, ‘Museums today ... should be a part of the world, a part of the times in which we live.’ — Find the Museum of Photographic Arts at 1649 El Prado in Balboa Park and online at mopa.org

7. Beth Smith, Visions Art Museum

In 2009, when Beth Smith first came to Visions after being Director of Development at Oceanside Museum of Art, it was an all-volunteer, nonprofit quilt gallery. Under her leadership, the gallery became a museum, established a permanent collection of contemporary quilts, and now presents 16 exhibitions a year, along with lectures, workshops and online exhibits. “We are grateful for the support of many generous donors and sponsors who continue to appreciate America’s only museum devoted exclusively to contemporary art quilts,” she said. — Find Visions Art Museum at 2825 Dewey Road in Liberty Station, Point Loma and online at visionsartmuseum.org ■ Coming Next Week: Part 2 of this story with profiles of additional female directors of San Diego museums will be published in the Aug. 10 issue of this newspaper.
