BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe Association President Fred Wasserman had a strong response to the Past Presidents Council who last week alleged “serious financial and managerial issues have occurred” at the Association and requested an independent forensic audit to review
all accounting transactions. At the Aug. 18 Association meeting, Wasserman said he posted a letter on the member website to address the allegations made in the letter by the Past Presidents Council (PPC) that many residents received. “They thought they were being thoughtful in terms of trying to help
the board, unfortunately, their approach was less than thoughtful,” Wasserman said. Wasserman’s letter stated that an active investigation is ongoing by board members experienced in handling matters similar to the ones that the PPC alleges to have been mishandled. As the board goes

BY KAREN BILLING On Aug. 18, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board appointed Rick Sapp as its newest board member, filling the seat left vacant after Ann Boon’s resignation. Sapp will complete Boon’s term, which expires in June 2017. The board voted by ballot after considering four candidates names. The vote was 4-2 in favor of Sapp with two votes going to Rachel Leheny. “I believe he’ll be the smartest person in this room,” said Allen Finkelson in his endorsement of Sapp. Sapp was a partner at Goldman Sachs for over 20 years, heading the mergers and acquisitions Rick Sapp and corporate advisory business for the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. Sapp is a Stanford University graduate and received an MBA in finance from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He has spent nine years with the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation and ran its investment fund for three years. Sapp was a trustee at Stanford University for five years and the chair of its land, building and development fund. Sapp was recently appointed to the RSF Association’s finance committee and also served on the governance committee. “In my view we have an opportunity to get someone who can work with us on multiple levels,” Finkelson said, noting he will be able to help out with Association financials and with the fiber-optic project. “He will be a great asset to this board in SEE SAPP, A21
RSF Association appoints staff to interim roles BY KAREN BILLING Some staffing changes were recently made at the Rancho Santa Fe Association. Communications Manager Christy Whalen has been appointed the interim Association manager. President Fred Wasserman said the board and staff will report to Whalen as they look for a permanent Association manager — he said Whalen is not being considered as a candidate for the position. As Robert Green will retire on Sept. 6, Tom Farrar will become the interim building commissioner as well as overseeing the planning department.

Santa Fe Irrigation,Whispering PHR residents ask district to Palms CSD will hold elections unlock CCA’s tennis courts There will be contested elections this year in special district boards that represent the Rancho Santa Fe area. In the Santa Fe Irrigation District’s Division 1, financial manager Derek Clotfleter and businessman/engineer and former board member Ken Dunford will vie for one seat, while in Division 2, business executive David Petree and real estate broker Robert Feher will run for the open seat. Division 1 incumbent Greg Gruzdowich and Division 2 incumbent Alan Smerican are not seeking re-election. The Whispering Palms Community Services District (CSD) board will also see an election this November as five candidates will vie for three available seats. Candidates include businessman/lawyer Byron Hanchett, nuclear scientist/engineer Douglas Manatt, Martin Ross, incumbent Kathy McHenry and retired educator Valerie Thatcher. Incumbents Nancy McElfresh and David Nugent will not seek re-election. The district’s service boundary encompasses 2,615 acres and serves more than 1,440 homes and businesses. The Whispering Palms board has been dealing with a controversial plan to modernize the landscape and remove 54 palm trees that mark the entrance to the Whispering Palms community. The plan is now headed to a community-wide vote. There will not be an election for the
Fairbanks Ranch CSD as incumbents Stephen Charlton and Richard Heymann both run unopposed. In addition to serving the Fairbanks Ranch community, the CSD also serves Fairbanks Plaza, Solana Santa Fe Elementary School and the Fairbanks Ranch Fire Station. There will not be an election for the Rancho Santa Fe CSD and Rancho Santa Fe Fire boards: Incumbents Nancy Hillgren, Jim Ashcraft and Randall Malin run unopposed for the Rancho Santa Fe Fire board, as do Douglas Moul and Deb Plummer on the Rancho Santa Fe CSD. The CSD provides sewage collection and treatment services for about 2,600 customers in Rancho Santa Fe. The agency also contracts with the Rancho Santa Fe Association to maintain the landscaping along 60 miles of county roads within the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant area. The RSF Fire Protection District provides services for a 38-square-mile territory that runs as far east as 4S Ranch. Five candidates have filed for the eight open seats on the San Dieguito Community Planning Board so there will be no election: Incumbents Nicholas Christenfeld, Douglas Dill, Philip Fisch, Donald Willis and Joseph Zagara. The group advises the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on land-use and planning issues in Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and surrounding communities.
BY KAREN BILLING Some Pacific Highlands Ranch residents addressed San Dieguito Union School District board at its Aug. 18 meeting about opening up some of the Canyon Crest Academy’s publicly-funded tennis courts to the tennis-playing public. Philip Pellouchoud, a new resident of Pacific Highlands Ranch, was one of three residents to make the request to the board. Both of his kids are competitive junior tennis players and grew up in the Poway Unified School District area where they had very good access to tennis courts — high schools such as Westview, Poway, Mt. Carmel and Rancho Bernardo make at least some courts available to residents. In Carmel Valley, he has few options for his kids to play on public courts — there are long waits at Torrey Pines High’s courts and while he is still a member at a club in Penasquitos it would be more convenient for his kids to play on the courts right in his neighborhood. “This really boils down to one very simple issue: What kind of community do we want to be? Do we want to be a community that welcomes children into our publicly-funded facilities or do we want to build walls and lock gates to prevent access? Do we want to be a community that fosters and encourages physical fitness or do we want to keep to ourselves and expect families to do it on their own with no support from the community?” Pellouchoud asked. “When a community starts to lock kids out, when it starts taking away
options, we shouldn’t be surprised when we see vandalism and increased truancy. Parks, recreation centers and easy access to publicly-funded facilities is an effective weapon against teenage boredom.” Christopher Black, the CCA varsity tennis coach since the school opened 13 years ago, said as a lifelong tennis player he can appreciate that people want to have a place to play. However, he warned the board that opening up the tennis courts to the public could carry a significant fiscal cost, compromise the integrity of the facilities and cause a safety issue for students. Black said over the past 13 seasons he has visited over 50 of San Diego County’s high school tennis facilities and very few compare to CCA’s as they’ve managed to preserve the courts by limiting their use. Black said when he first started coaching the team, they visited the Torrey Pines courts that are open to the public and found them to be a “mess,” with cut nets, vandalized fences, and courts scratched up and marred by gum and black marks, victim to skateboards and others who didn’t respect the surface or use it for its intended use. “Unfortunately, tennis players like the gentlemen that just spoke, don’t ruin public courts. People who use them for purposes other than tennis do,” Black said. Black said opening up the courts would speed up the timetable for when CCA’s courts SEE COURTS, A20

RSF Library Guild benefits from donated Churchill items Sold for $1,575 in an auction BY KAREN BILLING An anonymous donation of Winston Churchill memorabilia to the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild was able to fetch $1,575 for the nonprofit in an auction. Recognizing the value of the items and getting them to an auction was made possible through the efforts of community volunteers. “It’s really exciting,” said Susan Appleby, executive director of the Library Guild. “It was an amazing, unexpected windfall.” Appleby remembers the day when the doorbell rang at the Guild’s donation door, under the green awning by the library’s patio. It was a very nice gentlemen who wondered if she would accept his collection as a donation — he didn’t say where it came from or who he was and did not want a donation receipt. The items went onto a shelf until they were re-discovered by Joanna Schumacher, a longtime Book Cellar volunteer that specializes in rare books and collectibles. Appleby credits Schumacher for getting the ball rolling by wondering what the rare artifacts might be worth. Schumacher’s inquiries led to Mark Selker, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and private art dealer, who was called in to find out what value the items might hold as well as a way that the Guild would be able to realize that value. Selker, a RSF Library member who had made the occasional visit to the Book Cellar, got to work. “I don’t deal in signatures, correspondence and autographs but I was familiar enough to know that Winston Churchill is a major figure in the memorabilia and signature world,” Selker said, who

by artist Frank Reynolds, one of them a study for Punch Magazine, and a letter from Churchill. Selker said the value of historical letters typically comes from the content. While the content of the letter was fairly mundane, a response on a civil mater calling for the dismissal of individuals from the Metropolitan Police, there was value in the date of October 1910, the signature and the stationary it was written on. Selker reached out to a variety of auction houses and negotiated an agreement with the Swann Auction Gallery in New York, which specializes in paper memorabilia. On its own, the Guild would not have been able to negotiate the same commission rate as Selker was able to due to his professional background. The items were auctioned off in the spring as two lots in the same sale and the Guild received its check on July 21. “We realized the items’ full potential and that was a good thing,” said Selker, noting no one knows what they might have sold for in the Book Cellar to someone not knowing what they were potentially worth. “(The Guild) are really wonderful people and they do a great job for the community. I was willing to do anything I could to help.” Appleby said the story is a great reminder that any donations to the Guild are appreciated — it doesn’t have to be just books. “Thank you to that anonymous donor, if you’re still in the community,” Appleby said. “The Guild is grateful.” The donation door at the RSF Library Guild is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The RSF Library Guild is located at 17040 Avenida De Acacias, Rancho Santa Fe.

Solana Beach Schools Foundation ready for new school year BY KRISTINA HOUCK With summer coming to a close and school almost back in session, the Solana Beach Schools Foundation is gearing up for another year of fundraising to support local students. “We’ve been working hard all summer getting everything ready,” said Patti Malmuth, executive director of the foundation. The Solana Beach Schools Foundation raises close to $1 million each year to support school programs and students in the Solana Beach School District. Founded in 1987, the foundation supports six of the district’s seven schools, including Skyline and Solana Vista in Solana Beach, Carmel Creek, Solana Highlands and Solana Pacific in Carmel Valley, and Solana Ranch in Pacific Highlands Ranch. The Parent Teacher Organization at Solana Santa Fe heads fundraising for the Rancho Santa Fe school. Last year the foundation raised $970,000, turning over $800,000 to the district in quarterly donations, Malmuth said. Funds help schools offer Discovery Labs, which focus on science, technology, research, engineering, arts and math, or STREAM, and supplemental physical education. “We are so fortunate to have the support of the foundation,” said Solana Beach School District Superintendent Terry Decker. “Their efforts ensure that our students receive an enriched learning experience and are an integral part of the success of our schools. We are grateful for their hard work

and dedication to the children of Solana Beach School District.” Because the all-volunteer foundation board believes that the district’s children deserve a complete education beyond reading, writing and arithmetic, the foundation has always focused on supporting instructors in art, science and technology. Since 2014, donations from parents and the community have helped district schools offer Discovery Labs, formerly called Wheel Day and Pull-Out Classes at some of the schools, to supplement existing curriculum with hands-on, interdisciplinary lab-based activities. The foundation’s contributions help cover the cost of materials, supplies,

SBSF 2015-16 Board of Directors equipment — even instructor salaries. The foundation pays for art, physical education and technology instructors at the schools. With the district, the foundation also shares the cost of full-time credentialed STREAM teachers. “Without the foundation, we wouldn’t have as robust of a STREAM program,” Malmuth said. “The kids wouldn’t have art classes. They do get some PE through their teachers, but it certainly is enhanced by having a PE instructor. I think it just really enriches the education of our kids.” Most funds are raised through the district-wide nonprofit’s annual fund drive. Funds are also raised at a variety of fundraising activities and special events throughout the year, including school-based fun runs, and the annual Halloween Carnival and Solana Beach Bash, both of which benefit Skyline and Solana Vista. As in previous years, the foundation is kicking off its fundraising with the annual Fund Drive. Through brochures and presentations, parents will learn about the foundation and specific school site needs on Back-to-School Night at the different campuses. “That’s always a big push,” said Malmuth, noting that the foundation usually raises about $600,000 through its Fund Drive. “We do our fundraising from the bottom-up so basically it starts in the spring by talking to principals,” she added. “They tell us what they need.” The foundation also recently started a major donor program. Having already held
one event, the program helps the foundation reach out to the greater community, from civic leaders to past board members. “We want to let them know what’s happening in the schools, let them know how great our schools are,” Malmuth said. “Our schools have changed a lot in the last five years.” The Solana Beach Schools Foundation is driven by volunteers. In addition to Malmuth, a part-time accountant supports the foundation. Other than those two paid positions, volunteers play a large part in keeping the foundation running. “There’s no way I could run this million-dollar organization without these incredible volunteers,” Malmuth said. The 30-member foundation board includes representation from each school, including Solana Santa Fe. Parents and community members also help support the foundation’s various committees, including the fundraising committee, finance committee, marketing committee and school site development committee. “It’s really an amazing community effort,” Malmuth said. “This community is so lucky to have the schools that we have,” she added. “We’re just so proud that we can help support the schools.” For more about the Solana Beach Schools Foundation, or to donate or volunteer, call 858-794-7180 or visit www.solanabeachkids.org.

Women Who Lead
Martha Dennis shares obstacles faced in technology career BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN hen young doctoral student Martha Dennis left Harvard University without writing her thesis and moved to La Jolla in 1970, her advisor prophesized she would not complete it. “(He) announced to me that no female graduate student who moved away ever finished her thesis, and I took that as a challenge,” Dennis said during an Aug. 18 speech at the La Jolla Woman’s Club as a guest of the organization’s “Women in Leadership” speaker series. Dennis successfully completed her thesis, just one example of the many challenges she overcame throughout her 60-year career as a female technology and software engineer, entrepreneur and CEO. The next was right around the corner when as she was forming her thesis committee, one of the professors she invited told her, “I’d be happy to be on your committee, just be sure to wear those sexy earrings I like so much, I’ll be sure to pass you.” “I’d like to believe that in 2016 women can be taken seriously anywhere they go, but that’s still a work in progress,” Dennis said at the start of the speech detailing her career in the male-dominated field of technology engineering.

New treatment does wonders for local man BY CHRIS SAUR Jim Brusso’s wife Anita, and the rest of his friends and family, call him Superman for the way he has fought against melanoma since it first reared its ugly head in 2008 and came on strong in multiple places throughout his body in October 2013. But even Superman needs a little help sometimes — and Brusso got that from Dr. Ed McClay, an oncologist who has studied melanoma since 1984 and works several times a week at an office in Encinitas. This past April, just days before Brusso was set to have major brain surgery — the plan was to take what they could from a tumor on his pituitary gland that was causing him to lose his eyesight because of its proximity to his optic nerves — a visit to Dr. McClay had miraculous results. “He said he had this new stuff back in the closet, and they’ve had real good results with this … and I’d like to try it,” Brusso remembers. “I said ‘Get it out!’ ” That new stuff was a combination of two medications, Zelboraf and Cotellic. Brusso took a half dose of the sample, in the parking lot of the doctor’s office in Escondido, started a full dose the next day, and just about a week later, his vision was totally back. Even more good news came at his last brain MRI, when Brusso learned that the pituitary gland tumor — one of a couple Brusso has but the one that has given him by far the most trouble — has reduced in size by more than 50 percent. For the past month or so, Jim has seen a great improvement in his quality of life as he has felt well enough to spend more time with the large group of friends and family that visit the Brussos at their Oceanside home on a regular basis. It’s the best present Anita and Jim could ask for as they recently celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary. “It was a miracle,” Anita Brusso says. And a great bit of timing. According to Dr. McClay — who after 26 years working in universities, including two stints at UC San Diego where he started the melanoma research

Jim Brusso, seen here eating with his wife Anita, has seen great improvement in his health thanks to a melanoma treatment suggested by Encinitas doctor Ed McClay. program, now heads the melanoma program at cCARE, a private practice oncology group — treatment for melanoma has improved greatly in just the past few years. “Since the 1970s and 1980s through 2011, there have only been two medicines for treating melanoma patients. Since 2011, we have had eight medicines approved,” McClay explained. There is an example unfortunately close to the Brussos as Jim’s brother had a similar diagnosis a few years earlier, though it wasn’t caught until much further along, and the treatment available at the time was unable to prevent his death. What researches have learned now, is that about 50 percent of melanoma patients have a mutation in a gene called B-RAF. This allowed them to develop drugs like Zelboraf and Cotellic, which work together to target that specific problem. Not only do those drugs target melanoma in patients with the gene mutation, but they have been successful in breaking the
blood-brain barrier, a safety filtering mechanism of the body that has historically hindered the ability of some medicine to be effective in the brain. And talk about good timing? When Brusso went to see McClay just before his surgery, Cotellic had only been approved for two months. “It’s one thing to see a response, and another thing to have a guy that’s ready to have a tumor taken out of his brain and to see that kind of response to some pills that he’s taking, it’s remarkable,” McClay said. “I’ve been doing melanoma research for many, many years, and it’s just amazing to see this kind of stuff happen for people now.” Brusso and his wife both come from the Riverside/San Bernardino area, with Jim working on a ranch growing up. Jim went into the Air Force reserves in 1971, then came to San Diego to attend United States International University, which at that time had its campus where Point Loma Nazarene is now. The Brussos got married in 1972 and moved back up to Riverside where Jim became a teacher. With their two sons — Jared, now 35, and Jordan, 30 — the Brussos moved back to the San Diego area in the early 1980s, living in North County. Both retired now, Jim Brusso worked at Valley Middle School in Carlsbad for 21 years, while Anita was a successful sales rep for a title company. Those lives well-lived have created the Brussos’ large support system that they both say has been vital to Jim’s battle with the disease. Anita says it’s the little things, a text saying “Love you” or “I’m thinking of you” that make the biggest difference. As has the help of Jim’s team of doctors, including McClay, who has been back in San Diego since 1999 and now lives in Bonsall with his wife of over 30 years, Mary-Eileen. They have two children. McClay works with patients at cCARE’s offices in Escondido, Vista and Encinitas. The Encinitas office is at 477 N. El Camino Real.

Former CCA track and cross country standout Bernd overcomes iron deficiency, readies for UCLA BY GIDEON RUBIN Kelly Bernd knew something wasn’t right. One runner after the next was passing her by on the same 3.1-mile course at Guajome Park where a year earlier she won the Avocado League finals. “I just kept dropping back, “ Bernd said. “I was like jogging.” The Canyon Crest Academy standout could hear other runners whispering, “Is that Kelly?” This was the same Kelly Bernd who’d already qualified for the state championship meets in cross country and track and field every year since she was a freshman. She’d already accepted a track scholarship from UCLA. “What’s going on,” Bernd thought to herself. “I’m giving it my hardest and I have no idea what the problem is.” It wasn’t until she visited doctors shortly afterward that Bernd learned that she was suffering from a severe iron deficiency. The normal serum ferritin range for a female is 15 to 150 nanograms per millilter, and should be higher for a competitive female runner. Her
ferritin level was 6 ng/mL. “Once I figured out the problem it was a relief to know what it was,” Bernd said. “It’s so common in (high school) girls’ running. It’s important that people get blood tests.” With the help of doctors and nutritionists, Bernd has figured out a solution. She now takes liquid iron supplements daily and has reached healthy ferritin levels. She is readying for her freshman year at UCLA. Ravens track and cross country coach Andy Corman believes that Bernd may have just scratched the surface of her potential during a distinguished prep career. It wasn’t until her senior year that she became aware of the condition. “I have no idea of her potential because she could have absolutely amazing times,” Corman said. “She had some of the fastest times in every event on the track. Once you can figure out this iron deficiency and once you can figure out how she can train, her potential’s unlimited.” Bernd said she is now healthy. She
joined her UCLA teammates recently for a training camp in Mammoth. But she admits there were moments when doubts crept into her mind. She wasn’t sure she’d ever be able to continue running competitively, let alone at the elite collegiate level at UCLA. “I just didn’t know what was going on but I thought it would work out,” she said. Bernd credits a supportive team atmosphere at CCA with helping her get through some tough times. Her teammates included her younger sister Claire, an incoming junior who emerged as a standout last season, qualifying for the state meet in track and cross country. “Honestly, even with all this happening I had this great team to run with every day,” Kelly said. Kelly served was the team’s captain her junior and senior years. Claire said her older sister led the team by example. “I remember doing workouts with her when she had her iron deficiency, we’d be running and I could hear her struggling so hard

Claire and Kelly Bernd because it affects her breathing. I would tell her to stop the workout, and coaches would come over and be like ‘Are you OK?’ She would always get back in and do it.” Kelly competed as a senior despite the iron deficiency, helping the cross country team qualify for the state meet. “We realistically should have been having the conversation ‘You

shouldn’t run, you shouldn’t even get out of bed,’” Corman said. That Kelly found a way to summon the energy to compete when her teammates depended on her is a big part of her legacy. “You could easily argue that she’s the best runner to go through CCA, I know that,” Corman said. “Even with this (iron) deficiency.” SEE BERND, A22

RSF boy, 6, rises to challenge, climbs Mount Whitney BY PAM KRAGEN
Three weeks ago, 6-year-old Anthony Slosar become one of the youngest people to ever climb Mount Whitney, but he didn’t do it for the glory. He did it for Captain America. Before the Rancho Santa Fe first-grader made the 21-hour climb with family members on Aug. 5, he extracted a promise from his mom that if he made it to the peak, he could watch the PG-13-rated film “Captain America: Civil War.” While Anthony said the best part of the climb was winning his movie date, he also enjoyed the catnap he took about 1,000 feet shy of the summit and the mini-Snickers bars he gobbled during snack breaks. Climbing Whitney was the final task on Anthony’s “summer of great” list. Already ticked off were his goals of learning to ride a bike and become a better swimmer. Located in California’s Eastern Sierra Nevada range, Mount Whitney stands 14,505 feet tall, making it the highest mountain in the contiguous United States. Anthony accomplished the mountain’s famed extreme hike known as the “portal to peak,” a vertical climb of 6,000 feet over 11 miles. Although there are no formal records on Whitney ascents, various online sources suggest he may be the youngest to make that climb. In 2011, 7-year-old Tyler Armstrong of Yorba Linda finished the “portal to peak” feat, according to the website climber.org. And last October, 6-year-old Orin Gartner of Durango, Colo., summitted Whitney, but he started from a camp six miles above the portal, according to The Durango Herald. Anthony started this month’s climb with his whole family: parents Jeff, 50, and Heather, 45, and siblings Natalie, 15, Kelly, 12, Avery, 10, and Jackson, 9. But when the group reached the elevation of 12,000 feet, Avery and Jackson were suffering from
altitude sickness, so Heather took them back down the mountain. The rest continued to the top. Jeff Slosar said his son was determined to carry on because he likes challenges. Anthony is a small boy. He weighs just 38 pounds and stands 44 inches tall. Because of his size, other children in kindergarten would pick him up and carry him around, which he didn’t like, so he decided to prove himself as a big boy this summer. Climbing Whitney wasn’t a goal he picked at random. The Slosars are avid hikers who frequently train on hills around their home. Over the past four years, Jeff has made several hikes with his older children on the Teton Crest Trail in Wyoming, the John Muir Trail in California and, in 2014, a climb up Whitney. Anthony was too young for those trips, so he stayed home with his mom. When each of the Slosar children turned 6, they could make a wish for a family adventure. Anthony’s 6th birthday was on May 13, and his wish was for Whitney. The trip almost didn’t happen because just before Anthony’s birthday, eldest daughter Natalie underwent surgery for a tumor on her spine. She has since recovered and, despite some back pain, she made the summit. To make the climb in one day, the Slosar family set out at 2:20 a.m. Aug. 5. Wearing headlamps, they started from the portal at an elevation of 8,500 feet and walked up forest trails that eventually gave way to boulders. From 12,000 to 13,500 feet, they climbed through 97 switchbacks and finally reached the crest trail to the summit, which they reached at 2:30 p.m. It took another nine hours to get back down to the portal and 90 minutes more to reach their hotel. Jeff said that there was never a point where Anthony wanted to quit. Because he

hates being carried, he insisted on walking the entire way and carrying his own pack. Holding hands, though, was OK. “He was in his own zone, and he had certain rules that he set for himself. He’s a pretty mature kid. Wise beyond his years,” Jeff said. The Slosar family recently left on another vacation. This time they’re in Mexico, with no hikes or climbing planned. But another adventure trip is already in the thinking stages. Jeff said he has encouraged tough hikes as away to bond as a family and to teach his children that with effort, no
challenge is too great. “They don’t know it yet, but life can be tough,” said Jeff, the founder and managing partner of the high-tech investing firm NextWave Ventures. “If they have these very tangible recollections of achieving difficult things, of not giving up on tough challenges, that they kept going when they were tired, then they’ll be be better prepared for many of the tough challenges ahead of them.” Pam Kragen is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

RSF residents co-chair Girl Scout fundraiser The popular vacation trend of glamping (glamorous camping) has inspired the theme of Girl Scouts San Diego’s 19th annual Urban Campout fundraiser. Lifelong Girl Scout Sue Major and her husband John Major of Rancho Santa Fe are event co-chairs for “Urban Glampout,” set for Friday evening, Sept. 9, at Girl Scouts’ Balboa Campus (1231 Upas Street). Liza Crisafi serves as committee chair. Sue served on the Girl Scouts San Diego Board of Directors for six years, and participated on the board development committee for several years. She continues to be active on the fund development committee. Sue is founder and CEO of Major Executive Search, specializing in the wireless, telecom, software and semiconductors sectors. She and her daughter Barbara were Girl Scouts, as were Sue’s mother and sisters. The Urban Glampout co-chair says her scouting experience helped her develop confidence and the tools to set and meet goals. “I still use the skills I developed through Girl Scouting,” she states. “The ability to communicate, work effectively with others, build consensus and manage budgets — these competencies are absolutely fundamental in my business.” One of her favorite aspects of Girl Scouting was selling cookies. “I was a natural, always trying to sell the most boxes in my troop!” she recalls. “I
Event co-chair Sue Major and Committee Chair Liza Crisafi learned how to meet and interact with people, make presentations without being nervous, handle money, and deliver cookies in a timely, responsible manner.” Urban Glampout will be held near Girl Scouts’ new Balboa Lodge, which features a large indoor/outdoor stone fireplace underwritten by the Majors. Lavish tents, sparkling chandeliers and glowing lanterns will set the mood for 600 guests to enjoy a starlit evening of dining, dancing and doing good. Event proceeds will help keep Girl Scouting available and affordable for all. Partygoers will earn badges while playing camp games, crafting and trying archery. They’ll bid on tempting auction merchandise at the “camp store,” dance to live music by The Heroes, dine on gourmet camp fare and make s’mores around a campfire.

Scripps CEO among 100 most influential people in healthcare Scripps Health President and CEO Chris Van Gorder has been named No. 74 on Modern Healthcare’s annual ranking of the nation’s 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare, which was published in the magazine’s Aug. 22 edition. This is the eighth time that Van Gorder has landed on the prestigious list, and he was the only person from San Diego County to make the rankings. Van Gorder oversees more than 15,000 employees at five acute-care hospital campuses and 28 outpatient clinics operated by the nonprofit health system in San Diego County. More than 3,000 physicians are affiliated with the organization. Distributed nationally, Modern Healthcare is
one of the nation’s largest health care trade publications. The annual 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare list honors individuals in health care who are deemed by magazine readers, their peers and senior editors of Modern Chris Healthcare to be the most Van Gorder influential individuals in the industry, in terms of leadership and impact. The rankings are chosen from among 300 nominees selected from thousands of online submissions. Online voting and the magazine’s editors determined who would become part of the final ranking.
Since becoming president and CEO in 2000, Van Gorder has been instrumental in positioning the organization among the nation’s leading health care institutions. In 2014, Van Gorder’s book, “The Front-Line Leader: Building a High-Performance Organization from the Ground Up,” was published. A chronicle of Scripps’ turnaround and Van Gorder’s journey from police officer to CEO of a major health system, the book was ranked No. 10 on the July list of best-selling business books compiled by the specialty business book retailer 800-CEO-READ. In 2013, he received the Innovation Award from Press Ganey, a national firm specializing in patient experience improvement.
Board-certified in health care management and an American College of Healthcare Executives Fellow, Van Gorder also served as 2010 chairman of the association, an international professional society of more than 40,000 health care executives who lead hospitals, health care systems and other health care organizations. In 2010, Van Gorder launched a new direction for Scripps. In anticipation of dramatic changes in health care, he turned the organization on its side, creating a horizontally matrixed management structure to identify and significantly reduce unnecessary variation in patient care and healthcare operations.

Tracking teacher absences
D
ata provided by the U.S. Department of Education show that teacher absenteeism may be more of a problem than student absenteeism, which receives more attention. An article in the Aug. 15, 2016 San Diego Union-Tribune provided a link for data for each school district and school in San Diego County. And what the statistics reveal isn’t good. The U.S. Dept. of Education (USDOE) defines chronic absenteeism as missing 10 or more days in the school year for teachers and 15 days for students. Most Calif. school districts offer teachers about 10 paid sick days per year, and those can also be used as personal days (funerals, sick kids or parents, car trouble, or other personal business or voluntary absences). Teachers generally don’t receive vacation days since they have off the same holiday and summer breaks that students receive. The charts shown at the end of this column provide data, self-reported, for local schools for the 2013-2014 school year from the USDOE website, as reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune. Schools opened since 2014 are not included. In the San Dieguito Union High School District, Carmel Valley Middle School had the highest rate of chronically absent teachers, at 26.5 percent, followed by Torrey Pines High School (at 23.3 percent), Canyon Crest Academy (at 22.3 percent), and Oak Crest Middle School (at 21.9 percent). Three elementary districts – Del Mar Union,
Encinitas Union and Solana Beach – fare no better. Locally, only Cardiff and Rancho Santa Fe school districts had zero percent chronic teacher absenteeism. Totaling the per-district numbers, the data show that 91 out of 473 full-time teachers at the San Dieguito district equals 19.24 percent chronically absent. For Del Mar, the number of teachers chronically absent is 22.67 percent (56 out of 247). It’s 17.2 percent in Encinitas (42 out of 244), and is 19.56 percent for Solana Beach (27 out of 138). The number of reported teacher absences does not include “administratively approved leave for professional development, field trips or other off-campus activities with students.” This is according to the 2013-2014 Civil Rights Data Collection report (U.S. Dept. of Education, Office for Civil Rights – ocrdata.ed.gov). The CRDC collects this data every two years. So what’s shown is only the number of teachers who took 10 days or more of sick leave and/or personal leave, although this is disputed by at least one local school district. That means that as high as these numbers are, the number of days teachers are absent is under-represented, because the times they miss classes for school district business (union negotiations, professional development or other training) are not included in these statistics. Teachers who also coach a school sports team often miss classes when they need to travel off-site with their teams for a match or game.
emotional challenges. The strength and stability of our schools, our commitment to excellence, and community support for public education are among the many qualities that make this one of the most desirable places to live. Our teachers, staff and administrators are proud to live up to your high expectations. Together with you, we will continue the traditions that have made this a great place for teaching, learning, and raising a family for over 80 years. Thank you, and have a great year, Eric Dill Interim Superintendent When this happens, a substitute teacher is required, but the absence is not reported as a sick day or personal leave and thus is not part of the federal data. Those teachers are paid for the missed class, said SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of human resources Torrie Norton, “and it is reported as ‘school business’ in our absence system.” Del Mar Jason Romero, Del Mar Union School District’s assistant superintendent of human resources, “empathically refuted” the numbers the USDOE shows for Del Mar. “They have to be using data that includes professional development,” he said. “We closely monitor our certificated employee absences, and we have actual data that drastically contradicts (to the tune of less than half of what was shared in the report) what is being reported by the USDOE,” he said. The true number of chronically absent teachers who missed school 10 days or more for sick leave or personal leave for 2013-2014, he said, was 33 out of 247, or 13.4 percent – not the 22.67 percent the USDOE data show. Romero said DMUSD’s internal system specifically categorizes the reason for teacher absences, but there’s no way to exclude from the reports the days teachers miss school for district business like professional development. “When I factor in the professional development, I get close to the number the U.S. Dept. of Education shows,” he said. San Dieguito San Dieguito’s associate superintendent of instructional services, Mike Grove, said, “It’s pretty clear on the reporting document that you should exclude professional development” and other absences due to district business. He said districts must report every absence “other than school business” – even maternity leave and medical leave, because for both of those categories sick leave is used up first. SEE SUTTON, A20

FROM SUTTON, A18 Grove said SDUHSD was “right around average or even a little below” the rate of chronic teacher absenteeism at other high school districts, noting that high schools in general seem to have higher rates of absenteeism than elementary school districts. The reports, he pointed out, don’t say whether the chronically absent teacher missed just 10 days or many more than that. Teachers work 180 days in the school year, and missing 10 days, he said, was only 5.5 percent. “Adults have more absences than kids,” Grove said, because it’s not just the teachers who may get sick but they often need to use those sick days to take care of their own sick kids. Solana Beach According to the data from USDOE for 2013-2014, the Solana Beach School District had zero chronically absent students at all six schools, which is either bad reporting or an amazing attendance rate. Terry Decker, SBSD superintendent, confirmed the number was inaccurate. He explained that a transition occurred when the staff member responsible for data reporting left the district and the duty was handed over in 2015 to a different department unfamiliar with the procedures. Decker said the correct numbers in 2013-2014 for chronically absent students (those absent 15 or more days) were: 13 at Carmel Creek (2.3 percent), 11 at Skyline (2.1 percent), six at Solana Highlands (1 percent), six at Solana Pacific (1.3 percent), 14 at Solana Santa Fe (3.6 percent), and nine at Solana Vista (1.8 percent). The other curious statistic in SBSD is the high rate of chronic teacher absenteeism at Solana Santa Fe School in Fairbanks Ranch (eight out of 17, or 47.1 percent). “Upon checking, we found that the teacher data was also inaccurate,” Decker said. He said instead of 27 teachers in the district chronically absent in 2013-2014, there were only 10: three at Solana Santa Fe, two at Carmel Creek, two at Solana Highlands, one at Solana Pacific, one at Skyline, and one at Solana Vista. Ten teachers with chronic absenteeism, out of 138, is about 7.2 percent, rather than 19.5 percent the USDOE numbers show. “As with the student data, the staff members compiling the reports were new to the process,” Decker said. “They included absences that should not have been part of the reporting, and that increased the number of teachers for each school.” He attributed the problem to “a training gap we need to address.” Decker said it’s common in small districts for one employee to handle such reporting. “While that may seem convenient at the time, it leaves a significant knowledge gap should the person leave the district,” he said. Two areas of concern There are two major areas of concern with teacher
New mechanism discovered for Alzheimer’s risk gene For decades, scientists have known that people with two copies of a gene called apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) are much more likely to have Alzheimer’s disease at age 65 than the rest of the population. Now, researchers at the Salk Institute have identified a connection between ApoE4 and protein build-up associated with Alzheimer’s that provides a possible biochemical explanation for how extra ApoE4 causes the disease. “The big picture here is that we’ve found a very different way of thinking about how the proteins in Alzheimer’s disease might be regulated,” said Alan Saghatelian, professor and holder of the Dr. Frederik Paulsen Chair in Salk’s Clayton Foundation Laboratories for Peptide Biology. Their findings, which appear in the August 2016 issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, underscore the importance of looking at genes and proteins not classically associated with Alzheimer’s to make progress in understanding the disease.
absenteeism: n Having frequent substitute teachers in the classroom, resulting in interrupted learning lessons, has been closely linked to lower student achievement. n The cost of hiring substitutes represents a significant impact on school district finances. A 2014 U.S. News and World Report article reported on the detrimental effects of teacher absenteeism, stating, “Previous research from the National Bureau of Economic Research has shown that when teachers are absent for 10 days, there is a significant decrease in student outcomes.” Going back to 2012, a report by the Center for American Progress think-tank stated that attention to teacher absenteeism is important because “teachers are the most important school-based determinant of students’ academic success. It’s no surprise researchers find that teacher absence lowers student achievement.” The report also noted the financial impact on school districts nation-wide, stating, “Resources are scarce, and any excess of funds tied up in teacher absence, which costs at least $4 billion annually, should be put to better use.” The expense of hiring substitutes is significant: Many are paid up to $150 per day. And with all the focus in recent years on professional development for full-time teachers, high-quality subs are in great demand and are harder to find. Costs According to SDUHSD’s interim superintendent Eric Dill, the cost to hire substitute teachers in the 2015-2016 school year was about $513,000 for illness or personal leave and about $226,000 for teachers out on school business, which could include professional development, other training, union-district negotiations or coaching. Holly McClurg, DMUSD superintendent, said in 2015-2016 her district spent about $497,000 hiring substitute teachers to cover for full-time teachers out sick or taking personal leave, and about $472,000 for substitutes covering for teachers out on district business (usually professional development or other training). This was a total cost of $969,000, she said. SBSD’s Decker said that for 2015-2016 the cost of hiring substitute teachers for full-time teachers out on sick/personal leave or personal business was $269,682, and the cost to hire subs covering for teachers out on district business (again, typically, professional development or district meetings) was $201,701. An ancillary issue is the disparity between what the districts spent for subs last year based on student enrollment numbers. To cover for teachers out on sick or personal leave, San Dieguito, with more than 12,000 students, spent $513,000 on subs, while Del Mar, with about 4,300 students, spent almost that much – $497,000. Solana Beach was much lower, spending $269,682. For substitute teachers covering for teachers who missed classes to attend meetings or other district business, San Dieguito spent $226,000. Del Mar spent more than twice that amount – $472,000. Solana Beach spent $201,701, nearly as
FROM COURTS, A2 would need to be resurfaced. The average court costs $6,000 to resurface — with the eight courts at CCA, it would cost nearly $50,000. The average public court needs to be resurfaced every four to six years and Black said because CCA’s courts have been so well preserved for the past 13 years, they will likely not need to be resurfaced for another two to three years. “In the time that many courts would be on their fourth resurfacing, we will have been on our first, thus saving the district nearly $200,000,” Black said. Interim Superintendent Eric Dill said the public use of school facilities policy has been in place for a number of years and serves as protection for the district’s assets, as well as the students and staff on the school property. The policy does allow for community groups to use district facilities when it doesn’t conflict with school programs and Dill said it has been very successful. Last year they scheduled over 1,900 events across the district’s 10 schools with outside users. “The issue of the CCA tennis courts is
much as San Dieguito which has almost four times the student enrollment. Tim Baird, Encinitas Union School District superintendent, did not respond to questions, a staff member saying only that the district paid $120 per day for substitute teachers. With so much focus on students attending school, these statistics on chronic teacher absenteeism paint a broader picture of another critical factor that contributes to student success.

primarily one of safety and protecting the school because of where the courts are located,” Dill said. “It’s in the center of the campus and if we were to open one gate to allow entry by the general public it really opens up the entire campus.” Opening the gates puts the campus at risk for vandalism, theft and damage on the tennis courts and beyond, he said. “We have had lots of instances of bad behavior on our campuses,” Dill said. “People who’ve damaged the floors, we had one group that destroyed a grand piano, lots of issues in the restroom and abusive behavior toward staff. With the facility use policy and somebody who’s rented the facility, we’ve known who those folks are and who we can hold accountable.” Dill said with Pacific Highlands Ranch, residents are dealing with an issue of living in a still-growing community and not having recreational resources available yet. The new PHR Community Park and Recreation Center, located between Pacific Trails and CCA, has been designed and is slated to be complete in July of 2019. The design committee moved away from a plan for the
park that included five tennis courts as they take up a lot of space and the city has expressed interest in a joint-use agreement with CCA for its courts. For a long time, SDUHSD had a joint-use agreement with the city of Encinitas to use the San Dieguito Academy High School courts — Dill said they jokingly referred to it as the skate park because while they kept it open for tennis use, they never saw it being used by anybody other than skateboarders. That agreement lasted for about 30 years until the city invested in its own tennis courts. Dill said there is an option to negotiate with the San Diego City Parks and Recreation Department on a similar joint-use agreement — he said the city has also expressed an interest in using the Pacific Trails track. Dill said he would also continue to work with the neighboring West Highlands Pacific Homeowners Association on a potential facility use permit which would enable its residents to play on the courts if the organization takes on the fees and the liability. “We have never said that the public can’t use the courts, it’s just about trying to find a way to work within the district’s policy,” Dill said.

Canyon Crest Academy Foundation to hold welcome reception for parents Aug. 30 The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation mission is to enrich the experience of every student every day at CCA, and they are kicking off the new school year with an invitation to all CCA parents to attend a welcome reception Aug. 30. Attendees can enjoy a cup of coffee and learn about many of the programs supported by the CCA Foundation, including Envision, Science Olympiad, Robotics, Athletics, Grad Nite and more. The foundation will also welcome new principal, Brett Killeen, who will be speaking at the reception and available for parents to meet.
Held on the first day of school, parents can choose to attend the 8 a.m. reception, or come later for the 5 p.m. reception. Both events will be held in the front of the Proscenium Theater near the Administration Building, and will feature informational tables for major programs at CCA with assorted food and beverages at each station. Opportunities for parents to mingle include a dedicated area for freshmen parents to meet other new parents, as well as learn about many of the ways to get involved at CCA. The Foundation relies on parent
involvement and donations of “A Dollar A Day for CCA” to support many of the wonderful opportunities offered to students. The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a parent-led 501(c)(3) organization "providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive. Your tax-deductible donation to the CCA Foundation is vitally needed to continue our support of these programs. You can donate online at www.canyoncrestfoundation.org.

the director of accounting, technology and compliance. “The major project that we have underway is the technology project that requires almost a full-time commitment,” Wasserman said, adding that the accounting department will continue to report to May. The compliance piece of May’s title is something that the board is adamant about, Wasserman said. “There is probably no one on this board more interested in compliance than Allen (Finkelson) and myself,” Wasserman said. “We’ve have spent a year and a half looking at bylaws
on the board. “Thirty-two percent of the community are families with children in the home, they are the most under-represented segment in this community,” Licosati said. “Rachel Leheny is the only one who represents that vastly under-represented class.” Licosati said that he fears that the board will become insular if it selected someone who represented the same interests as the rest of the board. Licosati also noted that in 15 years he thinks there has been only one year where only one woman is on the board. “I think it would be a mistake if we did not have another woman on the board,” Licosati said.
and articles, rules, regulations and compliance. And some of this stuff we found was just unfortunate. This organization was out of compliance on a number of issues for a number of years, not just the two years that is alleged by the Past Presidents Council.” The new set of bylaws will be mailed on Aug. 25 and members will have until Oct. 5 at 5 p.m. to return the ballots. “We hope you will approve those as they will help toward further improving the governance of the Association,” Wasserman said. Ballots will be counted in an open meeting on Oct. 6.

FROM PPC, A1 “In the interim we ask that you support the board in this effort in this regard by allowing the board members to do their job,” Wasserman said in the letter. During public comment at the Aug. 18 meeting, several residents spoke up that they hope the Association does not hire an audit firm nor rehire any past employees or consultants. “We need to move forward in a positive manner and not go backward,” said Lisa Bartlett, noting that what the PPC is trying to do is “extremely detrimental” to the community. “Let’s start the healing and move forward with fresh ideas and fresh faces.” Bartlett said should the board decide to hire a consultant, she requested that the person have no connection to the past and that the scope of the audit would not be limited to the past two years, but would also include former Manager Pete Smith and the members of the PPC’s tenure. RSF resident Mike Mines said he doesn’t want to see the “Historic Rancho Santa Fe” on the community markers replaced with the word “Prehistoric.” “I’m living in a community with radically divided special interests,” Mines said, noting that there are special interests of golf, horses, kids, no kids and a radical special interest called “no change.” “After hearing
that letter, these special interests allowed what I would call a remarkable manipulation of people, assets and time. These special interests created a diversity and allowed entrenched management and old thinking into the community.” Mines said the board’s biggest challenge moving forward will be to not allow those special interests and “well-informed insiders” to create a divided community. “The letter bothered me on multiple levels,” RSF resident Saiid Zarrabian said. “I’m very respectful of the past presidents, there’s a tremendous amount of experience there. My concern was first, for them to identify publicly issues that may or may not be true and, secondly, to come and tell you who to hire to do the forensic audit is disturbing to say the least, especially since that individual has had previous conflicts in this Association.” Zarrabian said that the people recruited to do the PPC’s audit were also conflicted, noting one is currently involved in two legal disputes with the Association. Wasserman said that the PPC’s letter made him “angry” and “annoyed” due to how much work the board and staff does. He said all of the board members are well qualified and spend 20 to 40 volunteer hours a week working with Association staff on issues that may have been mishandled in the
past. “There are some issues, we agree. But I’m telling you that you have more commitment than you have ever had in the past in terms of this group here,” Wasserman said. “You have our commitment, you have our attention and you have our interest. But we will not be bullied. We will not be told that we have to put certain people on the board because they were past presidents. None of this is going to happen. This board represents the entire community and we are going to do that.” As Association Controller Matt Ditonto spoke about preparing for the annual audit, he spent some time speaking in the financial department’s defense due to what was alleged in the PPC’s letter. When Ditonto was brought on as a consultant in September 2015 he said the first thing he was asked to do was look at bank reconciliations that didn’t balance — a full review found $1.6 million in misallocated funds. Ditonto said there was essentially “nobody at the wheel” and the Association never had a CPA on staff. “You now have three CPAs looking at your books,” Ditonto said, referencing himself, Director of Accounting Don May and former-CPA and board treasurer Janet Danola. After being hired on in a permanent basis, he said the finance
Lux Art Institute welcomes Restrepo to open 2016-17 season The Lux Art Institute will feature five artists from all over the world coming for residency in its upcoming 10th anniversary season, beginning with Colombian Camilo Restrepo. In residency from Sept. 10 through Oct. 2 (the exhibition runs through Oct. 29), Restrepo will work on two separate pieces created from collected newspaper clippings and drawings from his personal sketchbooks. These works will focus on concepts of failure and appropriation in relation to the drug-trade, and will be exhibited at ArtBo in Bogotá upon their completion. An opening reception will be held Friday, Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. at the Lux Art Institute. Punctuated by bright colors and cartoonish characters, Restrepo’s works represent internal and external dialogues: one relating to the psyche and a desire for perfection, the other reflecting the horrors in drug-laden Colombia. Starting with a sheet of acid-free paper, Restrepo inflicts multiple aggressive techniques upon the surface, such as submerging it under water, rubbing it against the street, and crumpling it into a large mass before drawing and painting on the individual sheets. Sourcing images from Google as an inspiration for his large, hyper-detailed
surfaces, his work explores both aggression and the absurd in reaction to Colombia’s drug war and Pablo Escobar’s reign. Restrepo was born and raised in Medellín, Colombia, before earning his MA in Aesthetics from the National University of Colombia in 2008 and an MFA from CalArts in 2013. He has had solo exhibitions both stateside at Steve Turner Los Angeles and abroad at Galería Santa Fe in Bogotá and Galería Banasta in Medellín. Restrepo’s work has also been displayed at numerous international art fairs including ArtBo, Zona Maco, CODE Art Fair and Seattle Art Fair. He was recently nominated for the Premio Luis Caballero Award, which is the most important prize in Colombia for artists over 35. The Lux Art Institute is a unique museum experience, as it is the region’s only artist-in-residence program inviting artists to live and work on site while producing a commissioned work of art. At Lux, visitors don’t just see finished works of art, they see the artistic process firsthand by observing internationally recognized artists in a working studio environment.

department has provided more efficient financial reports, reconciled all the balance sheet accounts, outsourced collections and liens to the legal staff and brought the board into compliance by having them regularly review full bank reconciliations. “They are reconciled to the penny,” Danola said. Both Wasserman and board member Kim Eggleston said that when they joined the finance committee, the Association’s finances were a “mess,” a multi-million dollar organization being run “like a lemonade stand.” Eggleston said there has been a “tremendous amount of work” to straighten everything out. As an example, according to Ditonto, at the Osuna Ranch, one employee was doing the books on a paper ledger and no invoices went into the accounting system — Ditonto said there was no visibility from an accounting perspective. Now invoices go through the Association system and are tracked — they even know the horses’ names. As the PPC’s letter referenced the Association spending “in excess of what had been approved” on consultants, Danola said on her own she did her own review, getting out every invoice with every vendor. She said the amount spent was $669,822 which was $100,000 less than what the PPC stated. She said the amount spent in excess is $21,875, not the
FROM BERND, A9 But Kelly’s iron deficiency exacted a toll on her during her senior year, when for the first time in her career she didn’t qualify for the state meet in track. That coincided with Claire qualifying for the state meet for the first time. Kelly had mentored her sister’s running career since she started high school, steering her away from field hockey, which Claire intended to pursue. “It was absolutely remarkable just to see how proud Kelly was that Claire had qualified and that Claire had made it,” Corman said. Claire acknowledged that concerns about her sister’s health were difficult for everyone. After races, runners from other teams congratulate each other on their efforts. “The first thing they’d say is ‘Great job girls, Kelly great job’ … they’d say how hard it is and how it must be so hard,” Claire said. “It was hard to watch that because she’d be so disappointed every time but she took it so well. “Every time after a race it would be hard for
FROM DENNIS, A7 said that after the first years of chaos, everything fell in place. The worst moment was when she thought she lost an investment in her latest venture because of an accident that occured when she was invited, with husband and children, to the investor’s home. “I thought the deal was over when my daughter spilled Coca Cola on his white rug. But he was understanding of young parents, and kids who are not always easy to control.”
$50,000 figure that was given. Danola said they are aware of the excess and they have implemented controls for it to not occur again. In July 2015, at the recommendation of the finance committee, the board hired Gary Porter of the firm Hinricher, Douglas & Porter LLP to replace AKT, the firm that had done the Association’s audits for the past seven years. In discussing the Management Letter from Porter’s previous years’ audit, Danola said she could not find that it had ever been presented to the board on a regular basis in the past. Porter’s recommendations in 2015 included more regular reconciliations, capturing the Osuna fund accounting as part of the account accrual system, using a fixed asset accounting system and tightening up the language of the Community Enhancement Fund and what the money could be used for. Danola said the Association has addressed all of those recommendations except for the Community Enhancement Fund — they plan to allocate funds to specific projects in the coming months, she said. “The accounting team has done a phenomenal job over the last year,” Danola said, growing emotional. “We’re doing a great job and no one should question the diligence and effort that has gone into it since the last audit.”
me to hear people talk to her because they wouldn’t say ‘Good job’ as much, they’d go straight to the ‘iron talk’ and how it must be so hard. I could tell that she just really wanted to have some good races and have people just recognize her for who she really is, and get back to where she was. “It’s really hard [having that happen during] the last season leading up to college, you want to do your best and just not be able to.” Kelly’s iron deficiency never stopped her from giving her all. “We were inspired by her because even with her iron (deficiency) she’d blow us all away anyway,” Claire said. Kelly brings her pursuit of excellence to the classroom too. She had a 4.2 GPA at CCA and plans to study business and economics at UCLA “I’m very competitive, I’m a driven person and I want to do the best that I can, always,” Kelly said. “I don’t know where that comes from, it’s just always there. I just like to give 100 percent always and see where it goes.” During her career she served as venture partner at Windward Ventures; president and CEO of WaveWare Communications, Incorporated; co-founder and vice president of engineering at Pacific Communications Sciences, Incorporated; and assistant vice president for software engineering at Linkabit Corporation. Currently she serves on three corporate boards and participates in a number of organizations supporting entrepreneurship. She also contributes to her community by serving on a number of non-profit boards.

Businesswoman partners with Miracle Babies on ‘Miracle Tote’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a background in fashion and a passion for giving back, Solana Beach’s Shelli Pelly has partnered with a local nonprofit to bring a fashion-forward yet functional bag to the market that will also help raise funds for Miracle Babies. “It’s been a labor of love,” Pelly said. For the past year Pelly has worked with Miracle Babies to create the “Miracle Tote.” She led focus groups with Miracle Circle members, moms and other community members to learn what women want in a bag. After months of researching, planning and designing, the Miracle Tote was recently unveiled at a private pre-launch party at Azzurra Capri, a La Jolla boutique where attendees had an opportunity to preorder the custom-designed bag. “They were ordering multiples, and you know they like it when they order multiples,” Pelly said. Pelly said the Miracle Tote was made to match everything women requested in the focus groups. She said it is a chic yet functional tote that’s durable and offers organizational components, including two large internal pockets, an internal side zippered pocket and a smart phone pocket.
Pre-launch party at Azzura Capri
BEATA PEVNY | BZM STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY
Miracle Tote Made of vegan leather and available in both Dove Gray and Pale Tiffany Blue, the large tote comes with a smaller crossbody bag. The crossbody strap can be used for both the tote and smaller pouch. Priced at $95, the Miracle Tote is currently in production. The shipment is due Sept. 6 with an Oct. 1 launch date for the public on the Miracle Babies website. The tote will also be available at Azzurra Capri.
“I’m excited for it,” said Pelly, an entrepreneur, business consultant, former corporate executive and philanthropist. She and her sister founded a company that designs, manufactures and sells travel bags and accessories. Not long after starting her work on the Miracle Tote, Pelly became a founding member of the Miracle Circle in 2015. Since then, she has quickly grown to become an integral part of the auxiliary group, which supports the work of Miracle Babies through fundraising, community outreach and

advocacy. Pelly also serves on the planning committee for Miracle Babies’ seventh annual gala. With the theme “Once Upon a Time,” this year’s gala is set to take place Saturday, Oct. 22 at Fairmont Grand Del Mar. “I liked the idea of partnering and co-branding with a charitable organization,” Pelly said. “But as time went on, I pretty quickly connected with the women in the organization. I identified with the women and the vision.” The Miracle Tote is the start of a
line of custom designed and branded products that will be sold nationwide with proceeds benefitting Miracle Babies, a nonprofit organization that provides support and financial assistance to families with critically-ill newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, as well as enhances the well-being of women, children and their families through education, prevention and medical care. Pelly has plans for totes, backbacks, crossbody bags, wallets and other products. “I’ve gotten really involved with Miracle Babies, so it’s been fun,” Pelly said. “Being able to do something where the proceeds are going toward such a worthy organization makes it more worthwhile.” To preorder the Miracle Tote, email orders@miraclebabies.org or call 858-633-8541. Include desired quantity, colors, your name, phone number and mailing address. Customers will receive an order confirmation and notification of when the order is shipped during the first week of October. Customers can also sponsor a Miracle Mom by donating a tote filled with goodies. For more about Miracle Babies, visit www.miraclebabies.org.

Museum exhibition celebrates citizen scientists
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DAVID L. CODDON Scientific research is not strictly the domain of scientists, nor are scientific discoveries exclusive to them. Studying and exploring nature out of sheer curiosity and a burning passion are the world’s citizen scientists. These men and women down through history as well as today are celebrated in a new exhibition at the San Diego Natural History Museum titled “Extraordinary Ideas from Ordinary People: A History of Citizen Science.” Some of these naturalists you may know, like John James Audubon (1785-1851), whose quest it was to paint every known bird species in North America. Or poet Edward Lear (1812-1888), author of “The Owl and the Pussycat,” who became a respected natural history artist. But did you know that Maria Theresa, head of the Habsburg family dynasty in Austria during the 18th century, accumulated an impressive collection of seashells from all over the world? Or that French General Napoleon Bonaparte, upon invading Egypt in 1798, brought with him more than 160 men whose duty it was to document the captured nation’s natural environment? All are part of the “Extraordinary Ideas” exhibition, which occupies two levels of space n the museum’s new

Eleanor and Jerome Navarra Library Special Collections Gallery, along with works from and stories about local citizen scientists including Laurence Klauber (1883-1968), an SDG&E worker whose obsession became the region’s reptiles, and Laurence Hoey (1892-1963), a self-taught naturalist who at only 31 became the San Diego Natural History Museum’s curator of birds.

trace back to 1864. “This is the first time we’ve offered a behind-the-scenes collection,” said Margaret “Margi” Dykens, who is curator of the “Extraordinary Ideas” exhibit and director of the museum’s Research Library. Dykens says these works, showcased in a climate-controlled, low-light environment, emphasize the fact that “anyone can make contributions to science, and in a very real way.” The technological revolution fueled by the

Internet and digital communication, she added, gives novice naturalists the opportunity to document their research and even submit it for scientific consideration. Besides highlighting the efforts of these citizen scientists, Dykens says this exhibition “is a new way to make people aware that there is research going on here. We’re not just an exhibition space.” The museum employs an active research team, some of whose work can be learned about in the galleries. Above the main exhibits floor in the upper mezzanine are two gallery spaces that are certain to appeal to visitors, of all ages. One is a display of watercolor paintings by A.R. (Albert Robert) Valentien, who lived in San Diego and who in 1908 was commissioned by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps to document on canvas the flora of California. Valentien, who was not trained as a botanist by any means, traveled throughout the state for 10 years, painting its diverse flowers and plants. The museum’s collection of these Valentien watercolors, which numbers nearly 1,100, “had been sitting in our rare book room for like 70 years,” explained curator Dykens, who had the incredibly difficult task of choosing only SEE SCIENTISTS, B15

Dr. Clayton Cooke offers superior care, results in dentistry For 27 years in the Rancho Santa Fe village, Dr. Clayton Cooke has been the community’s friendly neighborhood dentist, ensuring his patients maintain their beautiful, healthy smiles. High-quality dental care with a personal, professional touch has led to his successful run in the village — his practice offers a full range of preventative, restorative and reconstructive adult and children’s dentistry, as well as cosmetic and smile enhancement services such as teeth whitening, veneers and bonding. “I’m thankful for the community for coming to our office,” Cooke said. “They have a lot of choices they can make but I’m happy that they’ve joined our practice and continue to benefit from our services.” Cooke said he is fortunate to be in a great location, a cozy space tucked away in the village with its own parking spaces. “The Woolley family has been wonderful to us, as has the current
landlord,” Cooke said. “We hope to continue our long-term relationship as a tenant here.” Cooke attended the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, ranked number one in the nation. With over 30 years of experience, he still makes a commitment to excellence and never stops researching and evaluating the latest dental advances. His specialty as a dentist is “incomparable excellence” and an extremely thorough approach. Cooke is mindful that not everyone feels comfortable sitting in the dentist’s chair — he himself experienced poor care early in life before having a positive experience while in dental school. He aims to make patients feel at ease, using a “feather-soft touch” and his brand of compassionate care. It’s because of that difference in the level of care, “comprehensive rather than just reparative care” that he has patients that travel from all over the state and from as
far away as Wyoming for their regular check-ups. “So many people have grown accustomed to the treatment they have received, they don’t know the difference until they come to our office for the first visit,” Cooke said. Staff meets with patients and gets a thorough history of their dental care. Using state-of-the-art diagnostics, Cooke examines the teeth and bite function of every new patient. He uses high-definition cameras and digital radiology techniques to provide a superior look at the condition of gum tissues and the integrity of a person’s teeth. These state-of-the-art tools help identify problems early, which is the key to an easier resolution. “The level of care leads to longer lasting restorations and a healthier mouth,” Cooke said. “The service we offer creates positive, lasting changes for patients’ dental health.”

Anyone who is not satisfied with their dental care or would like to see the difference his practice offers is encouraged to contact Cooke’s office to make an appointment. “It is my pleasure to help people find their best smiles and improve their health,” Cooke said.

‘October Sky’ now a theatrical musical at The Globe BY DIANA SAENGER The West Coast premiere of the musical “October Sky” will launch The Old Globe Theatre’s 2016-17 season. With book by Drama Desk nominee Brian Hill (“The Story of My Life”) and Aaron Thielen (“Hero”), and score by Michael Mahler (“Diary of a Wimpy Kid”), the production was inspired by the 1999 Universal Pictures film based on a true story, and the book “Rocket Boys” by Homer H. Hickam. Rachel Rockwell is Rachel director/choreographer. Rockwell The story is set in a mining town in the 1950s where Homer Hickam faces his future: following his father to work in the coal mines. However, that changes in October 1957, when the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, goes into orbit and Homer is inspired to build rockets. Director Rockwell (“Brigadoon,” “Wicked,” “Billy Elliot,” “Bring It On: The Musical”) said she became interested in the story when approached by colleagues Hill and Thielen. “They asked if I wanted to work with them on making the ‘October Sky’ film into a musical. We had known each other for years and collaborated on a lot of projects, so I said ‘yes’ and we’ve been working on if for several years,” she explained. The musical premiered at the Marriott Theatre in Chicago to rave reviews.
from the original company, and new ones from New York. But we’ve made a lot of changes in the show, so they are all learning together.” According to Rockwell, the story is very similar to the film, but with a musical score to enhance it. “Fans of the film will not be disappointed,” she said. “Because we have to show them the story (we can’t just rely on camera shots) it’s a little more active than the film version. We noticed at the Marriott Theatre premiere that some of the gentlemen were shredding tears ... the story is very strong on the father-son relationship.” One of her favorite scenes contains the song “Moonshine.” “It’s really a fun song,” she said. “The score is beautiful, unique and a wonderful combination of rockabilly music of the era. The tone is of the Appalachian music of West Virginia.” She said the play has incredible appeal
for all ages and will have a profound impact on anyone who was alive when Sputnik launched. “That was a life-changing experience on Earth, and it altered the way humans think about what we can and can’t do,” she said. “It opened doors. Young people, who are still at the beginning of their journeys and deciding what their dreams are going to be, will find this show compelling. It will have parents thinking about what they do for their children and the sacrifices they make. It’s also got broad appeal for fathers and sons with its rich story-telling, and it’s also good family entertainment grounded in 1957 ... a story of hope for parents, little ones and seniors.” ■ IF YOU GO: “October Sky,” runs Sept. 10-Oct. 23 on The Old Globe Theatre’s Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

California Chrome wins Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic BY KELLEY CARLSON Champion California Chrome led the field from start to finish in the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Aug. 20 at Del Mar. Last year’s winner, the racemare Beholder, stalked him the entire way, but settled for second place, five lengths behind. Dortmund, who battled California Chrome in the Grade II, $200,000 San Diego Handicap on July 23, was 2 1/4 lengths farther back, in third.
Ridden by Victor Espinoza, California Chrome sailed through the 1 1/4 miles on the main track in 2:00.13. “I saw the hold Victor had on him and he was just cruising, I thought, ‘It’s all over,’” said trainer Art Sherman, who resides in Rancho Bernardo. “She (Beholder) was driving to catch him, and I knew that if Victor had to get after him, he was just going to rebreak and pull away. What can you say about him –he’s just a super horse. That’s why he’s the best horse
in the country.” Among those joining Espinoza and Sherman in the winner’s circle were owners Perry Martin and his wife, Denise, and Frank Taylor of Taylor Made Farm. California Chrome’s earnings now total $13,252,650, which has increased his lead as the all-time leading money winner in North America. Two additional stakes races were held Saturday: the Grade I, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks, which East Coast invader
Harmonize captured in a photo finish; and the Grade II, $250,000 Del Mar Handicap, won by Ashleyluvssugar (whose owners include Rancho Santa Fe resident and After the Finish Line President Dawn Mellen). Other major events this past week included the Grade II, $200,000 Del Mar Mile (Midnight Storm); the Grade III, $100,000 Rancho Bernardo Handicap (Tara’s Tango); and the $78,445 CTT and TOC Handicap (Frenzified).

Superstar Lebanese comedian set for San Diego homecoming BY ROB LEDONNE It’s an early Tuesday afternoon in San Diego, but halfway across the world in Beruit, Lebanon, comedian Nemr Abou Nassar, who simply goes by the stage name Nemr, is just finishing up dinner. “I have to admit, I like California because it’s a lot more carefree there,” said the Lebanese-born comedian, who for a time lived in North County “It was awesome living in Del Mar,” he notes. “I went to Del Mar Heights and the house we used to live in had a huge backyard area. It was an experience that was free of anxiety. In Lebanon, you have to quickly grow up. Living in Del Mar was like living in a movie.” These days, however, Nemr is living in a different kind of movie. Known as Lebanon’s “King of Comedy,” he’s one of the most popular comedians in the Middle East, pioneering an art form in a part of the world where any kind of stand-up shows were previously unheard. Now, he has six full feature specials and a primetime television show under his belt. “The challenges of doing comedy here are unlike challenges you’d find anywhere else in the world,” he explains. “In my first year doing comedy, there were 14 assassinations, a civil war, and an international war. I’d be doing shows in bunkers where people would show up to seek cover.” Born in Lebanon, Nemr moved to San Diego when he was 2 years old and it was in North County where he first discovered his love of comedy and western culture. “My parents would record stand-up specials

from HBO and I’d watch them over and over again,” he remembers. “When I was 5, I used to tell everyone that I when I grew up I was either going to be a ninja turtle or a stand-up comedian. I had a set memorized from (“Saturday Night Live” veteran) Dana Carvey, and even though I had no idea what he said, I knew it word for word.” Despite his idyllic Southern California childhood, Nemr was a teenager when he and his family packed up and moved back to their home country. With him, he took his newfound interest in comedy. While back in Lebanon, he’d grab at any chance to pursue his craft and quickly began organizing shows in the country and the surrounding region. “Performing in the Middle East is beautiful, because you perform there with a purpose,”
Nemr explains of his pioneering career. “In the U.S., when people go to a comedy club they get drunk and go back home. In the Middle East, people come to your shows because of something dark they’re dealing with. Audiences want you to remind them how to have fun. I can’t describe that feeling in words, but it validates you as a human being.” Over time, Nemr has grown an incredible, skyrocketing career that has turned him into one of the region’s top comedians. He regularly performs in front of thousands of people, including a recent show in Beruit that had 4,000 fans in attendance. “When you do a show for that kind of people in such a small country, it changes the direction of the nation’s rhetoric.” Come Sept. 30, Nemr is taking his renowned show to downtown San Diego's Balboa Theatre in a homecoming set that is poised to bridge the gap between American audiences and Middle Eastern comedy. “The funny thing is, a lot of Lebanese love to live in San Diego because both places have very similar climates,” Nemr notes, pointing out it will be easier to put on a show in California than it is in some areas of the Middle East. "Well, the first show we did in Saudi Arabia was illegal," he remembers. "Men on one side, women on the other. It was like being a revolutionary." Nemr takes the stage at the historic Balboa Theatre on Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. For tickets and more information, visit www.sandiegotheatres.org/nemr
FROM SCIENTISTS, B3 nine of them to be on display. “They’re all beautiful,” she said, so she chose as her criterion a set that would represent California’s different botanical habitats. Dykens, herself a botanical illustrator, calls the Valentien collection “one of the wonderful treasures of this museum.” Just around the corner upstairs from the Valentien watercolors you’ll find the exhibition’s “Dragons Den,” a space catering specially to children. Furnished with a comfortable sofa and bean bag chairs, this room is stocked with nature books for a wide range of ages. But the attraction is sure to be “authentic, very early books that illustrate dragons,” said Dykens. One of these, written in Latin and of course under glass, dates back to 1517. In case you’re not mathematically inclined, that makes it almost exactly 500 years old. “At this time,” Dykens pointed out with a smile, “people thought dragons were real.” “Extraordinary Ideas from Ordinary People” is a permanent exhibition, ideal for citizen scientists whose contributions to science and art are still to come. ■ IF YOU GO: “Extraordinary Ideas from Ordinary People: A History of Citizen Science,” is at the San Diego Natural History Museum, 1788 El Prado, Balboa Park. The museum is open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (to 8 p.m. most summer Fridays). Admission: $12-$19. (619) 232-3821. sdnhm.org

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