BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board election is heating up as seven candidates will run for three available seats in November. Incumbents Tyler Seltzer and Scott Kahn will be joined on the ballot by Christopher Blatt, Elise Dufresne, Kyle Jones, Jee Manghani and Sarah Neal. Board member Todd Buchner will not seek re-election. Here is an introduction to the candidates (in alphabetical order): Christopher Blatt Blatt is a 26-year Navy veteran turned business owner who has lived in the Covenant for over five years. This fall, Blatt has a third grader as well as a first grade student “ready to embark on another wonderful journey at Roger Rowe.” Additionally, Blatt has a preschooler currently at Happy Time Nursery School getting the preparations she will require in order to succeed at Rowe. “I am running for school board so that I can make a difference and ensure that all children have the education and exposure that is required in order to be properly prepared for that next step. I am a firm believer in open and honest communication so that the parent and school community are allowed to be fully educated on the many events that transpire within the school environment,” Blatt said. “In addition, I strongly believe that parent involvement with the school board and faculty is critical to ensure the right path is chosen. I am looking forward to moving this school toward great things!” Elise Dufresne Dufresne is a mother with a young child attending R. Roger Rowe. Dufresne, her husband, Danel, and daughter, Evie, have lived in Rancho Santa Fe for nearly a decade. Dufresne said she cares passionately about education – both the role it plays in children’s lives and in our community. She has been a strong advocate for education her entire life; participating in the governance of her university and teaching, as well as working professionally with elected officials and communities on issues and initiatives important to schools, teachers, parents and students for many years. “We are very fortunate to live in a unique school district with an outstanding reputation. However, it’s imperative that we continue to improve and provide cutting-edge curriculum, learning tools, technology, programs and facilities that will help our children compete academically and help build the foundation necessary for them to SEE CANDIDATES, A22

Widened El Camino Real to be east of existing road BY KAREN BILLING After an environmental review, the city of San Diego has selected the eastern alignment for the new, widened El Camino Real. The alignment was determined to be the environmentally superior alternative, offering minimum impacts to land use and the best long-term improvement to traffic conditions, according to Jayna Straughn, an

associate civil engineer with the city’s department of public works. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board unanimously approved the widening on Aug. 25 and it will now go to San Diego City Council for approval. With the project, the road will be raised and moved to the east, widened to four lanes between

San Dieguito Road and Via de la Valle. The current bridge, which has been deemed seismically deficient, will be replaced with a wider, 76-foot-wide bridge, more friendly for the cyclists that frequent the thoroughfare. Signals will be installed at the intersections of San Dieguito Road, at the Del Mar Horsepark SEE ROAD, A23

Advocates urge study on horse racing deaths 16 animals have died at Del Mar this season, up from past two years BY EDWARD SIFUENTES Animal rights advocates urged the California Horse Racing Board last Thursday to investigate why more horses have died at the Del Mar Racetrack this season than in recent years. A handful of advocates, including former Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña, attended the board’s monthly meeting held at the Surfside Race Place at the Del Mar Fairgrounds to press the agency for action. They said too many horses are dying after injuries while racing or training at the seaside facility. “We are out here today to ask the board to investigate the reasons for these breakdowns, these injuries and these deaths,” Saldaña said. The board did not commit to conducting a study, but said it’s already taking steps to prevent the injuries, including adding more personnel to inspect horses and tightening blood screening standards to make sure horses are healthy enough to race. So far this year, the number of horses that have been injured and euthanized at the track is far higher than in recent years. The

have died at the track this summer, six while racing and 10 while training. That’s compared to nine horses that died last summer (six while training, three while racing)

Two injured in single vehicle accident On Friday, Aug. 26, at 8:41 p.m., firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District and Escondido Fire Department responded to the report of a traffic collision in the 9000 block of Del Dios Highway. Upon arrival, crews found a single vehicle, which had been traveling westbound, had gone off the road and landed on its side. Two occupants were trapped. Crews quickly worked to extricate the patients, who were transported via ambulance to Palomar Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the accident. – Submitted press release

Rancho Santa Fe’s Susan McCrea teaches yoga, plays drums at 61 McCrea teaches yoga class at Birdwing Open Air Classroom BY KRISTINA HOUCK It’s not hard to center yourself when practicing yoga at the Birdwing Open Air Classroom along the San Dieguito Lagoon. That’s where Rancho Santa Fe resident Susan McCrea teaches a monthly yoga class through the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to sustaining the natural resources of the San Dieguito Watershed. McCrea has practiced and taught yoga for decades. She started doing yoga when she was 18 and studying dance and drama at UC San Diego. “I couldn’t even touch my toes, so they were going to kick me out of the dance program,” McCrea recalled. “A lot of the girls were naturally flexible. I had no flexibility.” McCrea practiced yoga every day, and her dedication paid off. Over the years she has been a professional dancer and has taught all forms of modern dance, as well as yoga, spinning, kickboxing and Tae Bo. “That’s why I know anybody can become flexible,” she said.

A San Diego native, McCrea grew up in Lemon Grove. Her father owned a music store in La Mesa, which spurred her love of music and dance. “I just always loved dancing,” she said. “The one thing I loved to do was dance.” After graduating from UCSD, McCrea went on to become a professional dancer, moving to Los Angeles when she was 28 years old. Not long after arriving in LA, she landed her first gig as a dancer in “Perfect,” a movie starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. “I just followed my passion,” she said. McCrea went on to produce a

fashion show at the Los Angeles Playboy Club and form a dance group, which she called “the original Pussycat Dolls.” Dangerous Curves toured around the world, from Mexico to Japan. At the same time, McCrea taught fitness and yoga, even becoming the personal trainer for architect Frank Gehry and a conditioning trainer for some athletic teams. Eight years after getting her start in LA, McCrea had her daughter, and later, a son. She and her former husband relocated to Germany, where both their children were born. McCrea moved back to San Diego, settling in Del Mar, when

she was 45 years old. Although she retired from dance, she started a new career as a drummer and also became a drumming teacher. “I can’t dance forever, but I can play my drums until I’m 100,” said McCrea, adding that she had taken drum classes in middle school, but other students made fun of her. Despite a double hip replacement a little over a year ago, McCrea, now 61, is more active than ever. She plays drums for her band, Soul Seduction, which tours locally and even overseas in Germany. She teaches yoga for the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, as well as water aerobics, cardio dance and yoga at the Lomas Santa Fe

Country Club. McCrea, who holds a master’s degree in education from National University, has also served as a substitute teacher for the past decade. “It’s my favorite thing to do — play music,” said McCrea, who was back on the drums nine days after surgery. Yoga, once again, helped. “It’s just fun.” McCrea started working with the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy about four years ago. The monthly class takes place on the third Sunday of every month at the Birdwing Open Air Classroom. “I just love nature,” McCrea said about the location. “We live in such a beautiful place. That’s why we need to appreciate all the things we have here in San Diego.” All ages and levels are welcome. The class is free for members. Non-members are asked to make a $10 donation. “My way of teaching yoga is anybody, any age, any level can join the class,” McCrea said. “I don’t think yoga should be competitive. That’s the opposite of what yoga is supposed to be.” For more about the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, visit sandieguitorivervalleyconservancy. org.

Rady gala heads to Mexico with ‘Mystic Nights’ BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary is hosting its first-ever destination gala with “Mystic Nights” — two nights at an all-inclusive resort, including a Saturday gala at the Grand Velas Riviera Maya in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico on Oct. 28-30. “Mystic Nights” will benefit Rady Children’s Hospital’s Institute for Genomic Medicine. “This is something that has not been done before in San Diego,” said co-chair Charo Garcia-Guerra, who is planning the event with Sandra den Uijl. “We wanted to do something different and offer patrons that support the hospital a different experience while helping out a great cause.” Rady is home to the leading pediatric Genomics Institute in the world. At Rady, Dr. Stephen Kingsmore’s groundbreaking pediatric research is working to transform the diagnosis and treatment of childhood diseases. The institute aims to develop an integrated approach to personalized medicine and provide a comprehensive view of a child’s health status and risk factors for disease. Garcia and den Ujil said they are passionate about raising funds for Rady and for genomics, and know they are fortunate to have never lost a child or had a child that was sick. “We do it because it’s something we believe in,” said Garcia, who noted that she couldn’t be more grateful for the

Co-Chairs Charo Garcia-Guerra and Sandra den Uijl. health of her new grandchild. “If you really want to help children, genomics is about helping to find cures before the child is even in your arms. Nothing matters more than a child’s health.” “It’s our way of giving back because we’re grateful,” den Uijl said. “We couldn’t be more blessed and we want to be able to help others who really need it.” The destination weekend includes an all-inclusive package at the luxury, five-star Mexican resort with a beach-side welcome party on Friday night as well as the Saturday gala, Oct. 29,where guests are encouraged to wear all white. The gala

promises to be “mystical and whimsical,” transporting guests to a forest of monarch butterflies. In a custom-made show, butterflies will appear on the walls and on people’s clothing. “It will be a magnificent experience,” promises den Uijl. Space is limited to 200 people. Mystic Nights tickets are $3,000 (for two people, $1,700 for one) until Sept. 10 (not including airfare) and the price will raise twice before registration closes on Oct. 24.

Village Church to launch drive to help homeless veterans Helping homeless veterans move into a place of their own is the goal of The Homeless Veterans Initiative, an effort launched by five North County Presbyterian churches in partnership with Interfaith Community Services. The churches are reaching out to the public to donate furnishings and purchase specially designed Move-In Packages that contain bedding, kitchen supplies, cleaning tools, personal care items and more. “It’s our goal to support permanent housing for our nation’s homeless veterans here in North County” explained the Rev. Dr. Jan Farley, associate pastor of the Village Community Presbyterian Church in Rancho Santa Fe that is leading this effort. “Just supplying some essential household needs goes a long way toward helping these well-deserving men and women settle into permanent housing,” she added. Anyone interested in donating can stop by the Village Church patio at 6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, on Sunday, Sept. 11 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Some of the ways to help include covering the cost of Move-In Packages (from $60 to $225), underwriting a Move-In Kit ($716) containing supplies to completely outfit a home with four persons or simply making a cash contribution. The church will also accept donations of new mattresses and gently used furniture. Complete details are available at villagechurch.org. The Homeless Veterans Initiative is supported by the following North County churches that will work together on setting up the veterans’ new homes: The Village Community Presbyterian Church—Rancho Santa Fe Solana Beach Presbyterian Church—Solana Beach Grace Presbyterian Neighborhood Church—Vista Christ Presbyterian Church—La Costa First Presbyterian Church—Oceanside

Teen helps develop company to provide access to clean water BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although still in high school, local teen Mihika Nadig is working to solve one of the world’s biggest problems: access to clean water. Over the summer Mihika and three other high school students founded VivaFlow, a company dedicated to solving the fresh water scarcity problem in developing countries by purifying water from bodies of contaminated salt water. The business aims to provide drinking water by creating a simple and effective technology to desalinate and eliminate impurities in brackish and sea water. “We saw the statistics for the huge water scarcity problem in the world, and we saw the solutions being implemented to try and solve it, and we saw many problems with them,” said 17-year-old Mihika, who is starting her senior year at Torrey Pines High School. Mihika said other water filtration systems are either expensive to implement or inaccessible to the majority of people who

Grooving their way toward healthy hearts Torrey Pines teen forms nonprofit to encourage seniors, heart patients, others to join in her passion for dance BY PAM KRAGEN When Sarah Ludington’s grandmother was going through chemotherapy last winter, one of the things that lifted her spirits was dance. “Sometimes she watched my dance videos and sometimes we’d just be baking cookies in the kitchen together and we’d start dancing. It could turn a bad day into a good day and it brought a lot of happiness. I found it really inspiring,” said Sarah, 16, who is on the varsity dance team at Torrey Pines High School. After her grandmother recovered last spring, Sarah wanted to find a way to use her passion for dance to brighten the hearts of other seniors around North County. So a few months ago, the Carmel Valley teen started Dance2Heal, a nonprofit where teen dancers like herself can perform not only for seniors, children and people with disabilities, but with them. Last week, Sarah and three other girls with Dance2Heal presented their second free dance program at an Encinitas heart clinic. Sarah’s mom, Dr. Katherine Ludington, is a cardiologist who hosted the event and invited some of her patients for the hour-long program in her office lobby. The teens performed hip-hop, contemporary and tap dance routines, and then they invited all the patients to get involved by learning some steps for a group hip-hop dance to Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling.”

PEGGY PEATTIE U-T

Sarah Ludington, 16, leads staff and patients at North Coast Cardiology in a dance routine as part of her Dance2Heal program. Dr. Ludington said she hopes the dance events inspire her patients to consider dance as an entertaining way to keep “heart healthy.” She said a simple regimen of just 20 minutes of exercise six days a week can reduce the chance of stroke or heart attack by 30 percent. “Dance is a fun way to get their exercise.

They can do it at home, it doesn’t require any equipment and it doesn’t feel like exercise or hard work,” she said. Joining Sarah for the performance were fellow Torrey Pines dancers Madeline Lim and Rebekah Hardeman, both 17, as well as Sarah’s 11year-old sister, Abigail. All three girls said they love expressing themselves

through dance as a hobby, but Sarah dreams of making a career in dance. “I’ve been dancing as long as I can remember. I think I started when I was 3 years old at Mommy and Me classes,” she said. “There’s just something I feel when I’m dancing that’s hard to explain. It’s like nothing else.” Sarah just returned from a summer dance workshop at UCLA where she studied world dance. Her favorite style is hip-hop, which she performs at Torrey Pines and as a member of Future Shock, a youth team run by San Diego’s Culture Shock dance school. This was the second Dance2Heal event for Madeline, who like Sarah and Rebekah starts her senior year at Torrey Pines next week. She said at the first event on July 29, one senior woman was so enthusiastic she leapt out of her chair and joined the girls during their demonstration performance. Others in wheelchairs “danced” along using their arms. “It was really amazing because they were all so receptive,” Madeline said. “When you think of healing, you don’t exactly think of dancing. But the participants really enjoyed getting involved and had big smiles on their faces. Everyone had a good time.” Sarah said the goal of the program is to break down patients’ notion that just because they have some mobility limitations they can’t dance. “They’re not too old and it’s not something they can’t do.

Osuna Ranch demonstration garden breaks ground In late August, landscapers from the RSF Association started working on Phase 2 of the Osuna Adobe Restoration project, a demonstration garden on the north end of the property. The purpose of this project is to create an enjoyable and educational environment for Osuna visitors and to enhance the natural beauty of the Adobe. In the next two to four weeks visitors can expect to see several new landscape planters, artisan boulder walls, a viewing area of the lower pasture vista and new trees and shrubs. An exciting addition for trailer users, a trailhead will be installed that will eventually connect to the trail down at the lower pastures. Improvements to the chicken coop and horse stable will also be completed. Funds for this project were obtained from the RSF Garden Club’s grant program. An award of $7,500 was given to the Osuna Adobe Restoration Fund for Phase 2. Phase 1 was also funded by the Garden Club in 2015, with a $10,000 grant going to the landscaping and ground cover immediately surrounding the Adobe. In both phases, the grants funded the project materials, and the RSF Association paid for the labor. Caitlin Kreutz, the RSF Association’s horticulturalist, commented “The Osuna

RSF optometrist partners with nonprofit to invest in vision cures Optometrists devote their lives to improving people’s vision. But there is little they can do for people whose vision disorders can only be minimally improved with glasses, contact lenses or vision therapy. Millions of people suffer from genetically caused blindness and vision disorders for which there is no cure, and often no Elizabeth treatment. Christensen A San Diego-based nonprofit recently unveiled an innovative new cause marketing program, called the Vision Hero Network, designed to engage the optometric industry in the effort to fund vision research. For the past 25 years, The Vision of Children Foundation has been at the forefront of unlocking the secrets to cures for hereditary blindness and vision disorders, such as ocular albinism, blue cone monochromacy and myopia. Rancho Santa Fe optometrist Elizabeth Christensen, OD, was one of the first to sign on as a partner. “My personal philosophy is that I like to help people the sooner, the better,” said Christensen. “If I can get involved when people are children then I feel like I am affecting them for the rest of their lives. That is why I decided to SEE OPTOMETRIST, A21

CCA volleyball team gets ‘comfortable being uncomfortable’ on Europe trip BY GIDEON RUBIN They played elite high school volleyball teams half a world away, toured historic Vienna and navigated the canals of Venice. But what Canyon Crest Academy volleyball standout Hannah Martin remembers most about her team’s trip to Europe last month were the dinners. It was during those moments in Martin’s view that she and her Ravens teammates established relationships that wouldn’t have occurred had they not been plucked from their comfort zone. “If you’re on a high school team you might have a banquet or you might have a couple of team lunches,” Martin said. But that’s it. The Ravens competed in a tournament in Slovenia, and hop scotched across Europe for the rest of their 11-day trip. They had team dinners with opposing teams during the tournament before traveling to Austria and Italy. The team sent all 14 varsity players on the program’s third trip to Europe (they also visited Europe in 2008 and 2012). “It’s honestly kind of eye-opening because a lot of times we like to go to where we’re comfortable,” Martin said. “We like to hang out with our best friends because it’s easy and it’s what we know, but if you spend that much time with people at dinners you’re going to be sitting with everyone and getting to know everyone, so that to me was priceless and really valuable to our team as a bonding experience.” The volleyball tournament was held in Maribor, Slovenia’s second largest city with a

Co-head coach Ariel Haas, who was heavily involved in organizing the trip, remained in San Diego for the birth of his family’s baby. “Volleyball is a team sport, and especially with young women it’s super important to have a team dynamic,” Morris said.”If you trust each other on the court then you’re going to be more successful when you’re playing with one another.” The Ravens had gone through tryouts but hadn’t practiced ahead of the tournament. They took their lumps early on in the tournament playing teams who play

year-round (European high school players don’t split their time between their clubs and school teams as they do in the United States), but won their tournament finale on the last day. The trip wasn’t a pleasure cruise. The Ravens traveled more than 6,000 miles to be “comfortable being uncomfortable,” Morris said, noting that the trip reflects the program’s philosophy of fostering emotional growth, maturity and comraderie that can only be achieved by taking their players out of their comfort zones. “We want them to be uncomfortable together and we want them to be

comfortable being uncomfortable,” Morris said. “That’s something that we’ve preached every season that I’ve coached at Canyon Crest (Academy). Being in a foreign country and playing a team that you don’t know in a different time zone with a different ball and a different environment is a way to get these girls to be uncomfortable, and if they can succeed in an uncomfortable environment, which they did, when they come home and they are in their own element they should be able to be more comfortable.” There were some awkward moments, as some teenagers away from home for the first time, immersed in a foreign land and had to lean on their wits and each other, confronting language and cultural barriers. “We learned a lot from just being at cafes,” Martin said. “You realize everybody’s just sitting there, enjoying their moment being there, whereas a lot of times in America we’re like ‘OK, grab a cup of coffee from Starbucks to go,’ then we get on our phones, rushing to this place and that. “In Europe we have to be like, just sit at the cafe and talk to the people around you not on your phone.” Martin believes that facing cultural barriers has prepared her team to face the uncomfortable qualities of volleyball, a game of mistakes and frantic momentum swings that can strain team unity when things don’t go well. “When you’re down, or when some players are making errors, or when you’re struggling on the court it’s uncomfortable,” Martin said. “When you’re submerged into a SEE VOLLEYBALL, A23

Teen Volunteers in Action SD1 Chapter kicks off 2016-17 year

he founding SD1 Chapter of Teen Volunteers in Action (TVIA) held its yearly kick-off event Aug. 28 at the San Dieguto County Park. This year’s annual kick off featured a new format, introducing the approximately 180 young men to five different philanthropies served by the TVIA Chapter. The youth, grades 7-12, interacted with each of the five charities to further learn how their volunteerism helps their organizations. “This year’s event is about being open to new experiences,” said Rebecca Nunes, TVIA SD1 Chapter president. “I hope that you will engage with these charities

today and walk away with a new understanding of their important role in our San Diego community, and how your work with their organizations can truly make a difference.” Serving the north coastal communities of Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas and Carlsbad, TVIA is an organization of young men grades 7-12, committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal growth.

I am writing to respond to the recent letter questioning my voting record to help the writer understand my fiduciary role as a board member, but first, let me thank all those parents and teachers who have supported my decisions to date. Teacher’s Contract: Via a 3/2 vote, teachers were given a 12.5 percent raise, which the teachers praised as the highest raise ever in San Diego County. The Master contract also guaranteed additional raises as needed to our teachers, without any cap, to ensure that the teachers were the highest paid of all of San Diego County’s 42 school districts. I voted “no” because at the same time these raises were requested: • Our district was required to reduce our savings from 17.5 percent to 6 percent because of Senate Bill 858;

• We need our reserves to cover our operational deficits to remain solvent; • Our operational deficit went from $1.9 million to $6.6 million in 2016-17; • Although we can cover these raises short-term by depleting our reserve per SB 858, within two years we will no longer have any reserves remaining for “economic uncertainties;” and • In about four years, our deficit will almost equal the remaining reserves, depleting our reserves below the statutorily required reserve minimum of 3 percent. The San Diego Taxpayers Association awarded our board its 2016 “Grand Golden Fleece” award for giving away to much and not representing the taxpayer. Our Budget: I voted against the proposed budget because it was fiscally unsound: • Our deficit will go from $1.9 million to $6.6 million in one year; • We will have about a $4 million deficit thereafter;

BY RANDI CRAWFORD

The closet I never had...

o really understand this rant, I need to take you back about three months. My daughter asked me to take her shopping, and as the mother of a teenage daughter, I was just happy to spend some time with her. So I willingly hopped into the car and we drove to La Jolla to do some shopping. We went to a store that I’ve never been to before, so I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t have expectations, but I definitely wasn’t expecting what I walked into. The store was tiny, cramped, and clothes were strewn everywhere. I remember my first thoughts were that this must be some cool new thrift store, because nearly every item in the store had rips and holes, and very little material. I asked the employee if there was a method to the madness and she told me, “ It’s

supposed to feel like your closet.” I wasn’t exactly sure whose closet, but OK I guess? I squatted on the floor, the only place I could find any space, while my daughter meandered around. When she started modeling the clothes, I nearly had a heart attack, as they were not clothes that her father would let her leave the house in. I remember one mother told me to chill out and that I needed to “Flow.” And then this woman asked me my daughter’s age, and when I told her that she was 15, she took back her words and told me I couldn’t buy her any of it! Ya think? In the end, she found a few cool pieces that were “Dad worthy,” and I happily went to pay so we could get out of there. It’s at that point that I nearly had my second heart attack.

• In three years, our district reserves will be reduced to below the 6 percent; School Science Classroom: I recently voted against the building of a new classroom at our newest high school because it used a lease-lease back model for construction. At the California School Board Association conference I attended, the lease-lease back model was not recommended due to potential litigation. I appreciate the need for new classrooms, but our decision must be fiscally and legally sound. As a parent of a child in the district, I am the only board member with “skin in the game” which is why I care so much about making sure our district has money in the years to come. A board is responsible for making tough fiscal decisions that ensures the district’s fiscal viability. Although I respect the teachers, I believe it’s my job to ask the tough questions and find real solutions to real challenges that face the district. Maureen “Mo” Muir San Dieguito Union High School board member

This was no thrift store. Either I was being punked, and Ashton Kutcher was going to come out from behind a camera laughing, or I needed to have my head checked because there was no possible way these clothes could cost this much money! Once I realized that it was happening, I thought that maybe it was secretly owned by Kylie Kardashian? I just wasn’t getting the scene, but I caved and purchased an adorable romper. I told my daughter that was the last time I go back to that store... ...That was until today. They were having their annual 60 percent off sale and who can resist a sale like that? I went back, but today I took a whole new approach. When we arrived, there must have been 50 girls in this tiny cramped space, all grabbing and throwing clothes everywhere. It was beyond insane. Literally like a scene from a movie, where the girl is trying to find the perfect outfit for a first date, and she throws clothes all over the place. Come on, who does that in real life? But today, I picked up and threw clothes like it was going out of style! And I was having the time of my life until, wait for it, my germ phobia came out. We were pushing our way

around the long table filled with clothes, grabbing and throwing, when a girl pushed up behind me and told all her friends that she had just gotten tested for the Zika virus. I started backing away quickly, but still listened, while she told her friends to make sure to wash their hands because she most likely has it. I’m not even sure why I should be afraid of Zika, but still? It’s about 90 degrees in this cramped space, and everyone in there was literally sticking together we were so hot and close together. Ugh, this went south quickly. In short, I’m cherishing these moments with my daughter because she’ll be driving before long, and I’m fairly certain that once that starts, the days of her asking me to shop with her are going to be long gone. This is what I’m telling myself every time my kids ask me to do something that I really don’t want to do. Oh, and if you’re going to hit this sale, here are some tips: Mentally prepare, wear tennis shoes so nobody can step on your feet, wear gloves, (germs), have your wallet ready to move through the incredibly slow line, and have fun.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 - PAGE A19

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON

Smarter and more balanced

o, Smarter Balanced is not a butter substitute. It’s a ridiculous name for tests that assess student achievement on the new Common Core State Standards. Not sure about balanced, but one can argue that kids may be getting smarter. The Smarter Balanced test results from last spring were just released. These tests are part of the new California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress system (CAASPP). Students in third through eighth grades, and in 11th grade, were first assessed in the spring of 2015 to establish a baseline for Common Core achievement. This past spring was the second time students took the tests. The Smarter Balanced tests, all taken online, are designed to measure student understanding of the new standards, and are more rigorous than previous state assessments. The tests are adaptive, meaning follow-up questions depend on whether the student answers the first question correctly. If so, the following question is harder; if not, it is easier. The new tests require more reading, critical thinking, problem-solving techniques and written answers than earlier assessments.

RSF Democratic Club to host local candidates at Sept. 8 meeting Six local candidates on the November ballot will speak and mingle with the audience at the Sept.8 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club. Candidates will sit at tables in the audience, returning to their seats after they speak to engage audience members who want to meet them up close – to ask questions, express concerns, or volunteer support. Confirmed participants include: Congressman Scott Peters, Supervisor Dave Roberts, 49th District Congressional candidate Doug Applegate, Melinda Vasquez for state Assembly, Mara Elliott for San Diego city attorney, and Rick Shea, seeking re-election to the county Board of Education. The Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club meets on second Thursdays (except July and August) at 6:30 p.m. at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, 1505 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach. The program begins at 7 p.m., with socializing before and after. Friendly atmosphere. Great hors d’oeuvres. Beer and wine available. Always lots of Q&A. The cost for the Sept. 8 event is $15 for club members and $25 for others. New members can join for $50 to qualify for the $15 meeting rate and member discounts all year long. RSVP link at www.rsfdem.org or phone 858-759-2620.

Although the achievement gap remains stubbornly stuck in place, overall growth from 2015 to 2016 for most school districts throughout the state was reported. The state has four categories for the assessments: standards not met, nearly met, met or exceeded. The scores for local districts are in the chart below. To compare with the San Dieguito Union High School District, Poway and Carlsbad are included in the chart, although it’s not entirely a fair comparison

for two reasons. First, Carlsbad and Poway are both unified districts, meaning they serve students in grades kindergarten through 12th. San Dieguito only serves students in seventh through 12th grades. Second, no comparison between districts can be judged fairly without taking into account the percentage of low-income, special education and English learner students. As one of the wealthier districts in the county, with less diversity than many others, San Dieguito has an advantage in student achievement over other districts. Nevertheless, because these are nearby districts, I’ve included them in the table. For high schools, the goal is to ensure that all 11th-graders are on track to be college ready. According to EdSource, “Most community colleges and the California State University system use the ‘standard exceeded’ level to determine that students are ready for college and do not need to take remedial courses.

“The ‘standard met’ level indicates that students are conditionally ready for college, but must take an approved yearlong math and/or English course their senior year and pass with a C or better.” Statewide, 59 percent of 11th-graders met or exceeded targets in English, while only 33 percent did so in math. San Dieguito, as well as Carlsbad and Poway, well surpassed state averages in both subjects. SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of instructional services, Mike Grove, said math scores tend to be lower because skills “are being assessed in a very different way than before.” He said the shift in instruction is more significant than for English courses. On the other hand, Grove also said there was concern about the English portions of the tests because so much more reading and literacy comprehension was required. He said overall he was pleased with the results, seeing incremental growth in most areas. Grove said he and his staff are dissecting the results school by school and grade level by grade level, for seventh, eighth, and 11th grades. For 11th grade, SDUHSD will be comparing San Dieguito high schools to other San Diego County high schools with similar demographics, like Scripps Ranch High, La Jolla High, and Coronado, as well as other high schools state-wide. The California Dept. of Education’s website – caaspp.cde.ca.gov – has results for all Calif. schools and school districts. Look for presentations on the Smarter Balanced test results from all local school districts at school board meetings in the coming weeks.

FACE Foundation saves 1,500th life Last month, an 8-year-old adopted Spaniel-Retriever mix named Emma fell ill unexpectedly. She could barely eat and was very lethargic, which many retriever owners know is uncommon to the breed. When her symptoms got progressively worse her owner Anthony decided it was time to see the veterinarian. After examining Emma, Pet Emergency and Specialty Center (PESC) determined that she had an illness known as Pyometra: a life-threatening infection of the uterus in unspayed female animals. Emergency surgery was needed to save Emma’s life, but the cost was simply unaffordable for Anthony. After spending all they could on diagnosing and managing Emma’s infection, Anthony and his girlfriend Juli were financially tapped. Without surgery, euthanasia is the recommended course for animals who have Pyometra, which is why preventative spaying and neutering is so vital. After six years of companionship with Emma, Anthony and Juli prayed this wouldn’t be their only option. Fortunately, Emma was able to get her surgery thanks to the Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE), a not-for-profit 501(c)3 public charity that provides financial assistance to pet owners who cannot afford emergency veterinary care for their companions.

Emma marks the Foundation’s 1,500th life saved, which excitingly coincides with its 10-year anniversary. In its first year, FACE saved 12 pets working with only one hospital in San Diego. Flash forward to 2016, and FACE has now saved 1,500 pets in partnership with over 125 veterinary hospitals throughout the county, all of which generously discount their services for FACE patients. “We appreciate all the efforts of the FACE Foundation to help nearly 150 of our clients afford lifesaving veterinary care,” says Dr. Trevor Garb, Director of Emergency Services at PESC. “We are ecstatic to have saved our 1,500th family pet, Emma,” says FACE’s Executive

Director Brooke Haggerty. “FACE started with the idea that ‘economic euthanasia’ was preventable, that beloved pets did not need to die simply because of financial struggles. Our community has rallied behind that vision, and we are grateful to all of our supporters who have helped us come this far.” To celebrate FACE’s 10th Anniversary, the Foundation is asking the public to join them this Sept. 24 and 25 for a weekend of festivities, including a movie screening of The Champions at The Illumina in La Jolla, followed by FACE’s 4th Annual Doggie Dash 5K at Road Runner Sports in San Diego.

Scripps Health and MD Anderson Cancer Center to partner Scripps Health and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have reached a partnership agreement to create Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center, a comprehensive and clinically integrated cancer care program in San Diego that will provide adult cancer patients greater access to the most advanced oncology care available throughout Southern California. Through this partnership, Scripps MD

Anderson is part of MD Anderson Cancer Network, a global collaborative network of hospitals and health care systems dedicated to MD Anderson’s mission to end cancer globally. The collaboration allows Scripps to combine its expertise with MD Anderson’s knowledge and capabilities for Southern California, covering eight counties from Santa Barbara to the U.S.-Mexico border. Scripps MD Anderson will be overseen by

physician and administrative leaders from both organizations. It will offer patients access to MD Anderson’s world-renowned treatment protocols, standards of care, extensive clinical trials and translational research. Patients also will have access to comprehensive cancer care, including medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, pathology, laboratory and diagnostic imaging, as well as other clinical and support services.

The two organizations also will join forces in the recruitment of all future program physicians and other health care professionals, many of whom will have access to training and education at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Scripps physicians also will have the opportunity to earn faculty appointments at MD Anderson Cancer Center. A national search will start soon to hire a medical director to lead the new program.

FROM HORSES, A2 died while racing, Del Mar has seen 2.89 deaths per 1,000 starts this year. Nationwide there were about 1.69 deaths per 1,000 starts in 2015, a 14 percent drop from the previous year’s rate of 1.89, according to an analysis released in March by The Jockey Club, a thoroughbred industry group. The 2015 numbers marked the lowest fatality rate since the organization started analyzing the data in 2009. Del Mar Thoroughbred Club President Joe Harper said Thursday the racetrack will increase its efforts to reduce deaths next summer. “I’m in this business because I love animals. I love horses and believe me when one is injured, we all feel it,” Harper said. “And like animal rights folks, we want to find out what we can do to help prevent or at least slow down some of these injuries.” Over the years, the club has funded studies on racing deaths but found no definitive answers and no single cause,

Harper said. “There’s no commonality,” Harper said. “What we see is a vulnerability more than anything else in the morning. Remember, you have over 2,000 horses (training). It’s so many horses out there that that’s where you’re going to see your injuries. And the fact is, we have no control over who goes out there. We have control over who goes out there in the afternoon (to race), so we’ll scratch a horse we feel is not sound.” Other steps the racetrack will be taking next summer is pushing back Opening Day a few days (to July 19) to give horses more time to adjust to the track, Harper said. The club will also do additional blood work on horses before and after races to make sure the animals are healthy enough to race. California Horse Racing Board Executive Director Rick Baedeker said the racetrack and the board had each added one additional veterinarian at Del Mar to examine horses before and after each race.

Animal rights advocates said they’re not convinced the state board and racetrack officials are doing everything they can to stop the injuries. “You need to do more,” said Martha Sullivan, an activist who frequently pickets outside the racetrack. “I appreciate that your intentions are good but very frankly, it’s not working. And you need to do something different and you need to do something more.” Cliff Goodrich, former president of the Santa Anita racetrack, said fatal injuries may be impossible to eliminate from racing, but that officials are doing what they can. “Goodness knows in society there are problems that are unsolvable; this may be one of them,” Goodrich said. “To insinuate that (the board) is not trying (to solve the problem) is out of bounds. We will continue to try, we will never be perfect but goodness knows it’s not for a lack of trying.” – Edward Sifuentes is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

FROM OPTOMETRIST, A9 support The Vision of Children Foundation.” The Vision of Children Foundation was founded by RSF’s Sam and Vivian Hardage in 1991, after their son was born with a rare genetic vision disorder called ocular albinism type 1. They were shocked to discover that there were no researchers studying these types of vision issues. Since then, The Vision of Children Foundation has encouraged scientific exploration in genetic vision disorders by funding researchers at leading institutions worldwide. “Our researchers have made extraordinary progress,” said Sam Hardage, The Vision of Children Foundation Board Chairman. “Among many breakthroughs, they have isolated genetic mutations for eye diseases and developed genetic tests. Now we are funding research focusing on remedies using induced adult stem cell therapy, genetic reprograming and medication trials.” Hardage, a San Diego businessman, added that research funded by The Vision of Children Foundation has broad implications for hundreds of genetic eye disorders. Optometrists across the country are invited to join the Vision Hero Network through the Foundation’s website, www.visionofchildren.org/vision-hero-network/, and selecting one of three annual membership levels. In addition, they can participate in other fundraising efforts with The Vision of Children Foundation, such as encouraging their clients to contribute directly.

Roger Rowe graduate. His three children are currently in the first, third and fifth grades at Rowe. Jones currently sits on the Board of Directors for Community Bank, located in Pasadena. He said this position allowed him to gain experience in an advisory capacity and also gave him experience in helping to run a successful bank. He has served on many committees, including finance, loan and ethics. He also has experience as a teacher. “I believe that my four years as a bank director has prepared me with the skills I need to make the Rancho Santa Fe School District the best district for our children,” Jones said. “I feel that I am uniquely qualified to serve on the school board as my vocational background has prepared me for the issues and complexities facing school boards today.

the school in general, and my board participation is a logical extension of our community involvement.” Jee Manghani Manghani and his wife moved to Rancho Santa Fe in 2010, primarily for its excellent school district. He Jee is a father of two children, Manghani with one currently attending R. Roger Rowe and the other child will attend in 2018. Since graduating with a degree in computer science from UC San Diego, he has worked in the software engineering field across a breadth of industries, including e-commerce, Sarah Neal defense and consumer products. His last three startups focused on mobile couponing, social-enabled IPTV, and a social-media company, called Graphiti. He is also a member of a value-investment partnership, based in San Diego. “I am running for the RSF Tyler School board to ensure our Seltzer children have the best technology in their classrooms. As a technology entrepreneur, I have the experience to bring the technology of tomorrow to our kids of today. Our kids deserve only the best education!” Manghani said. “With a strong background in business and management, I will ensure that our children have the best teachers and staff, while being fiscally responsible with our tax dollars. “We’re invested in this together. Let’s focus on our children’s future. Let’s ensure that the RSF School District gives our children the opportunity to succeed in the 21st century!” Sarah Neal Neal and her husband moved to Rancho Santa Fe from La Jolla in 2009 as they were attracted to the small, sophisticated, yet rural community and the K-8 R. Roger Rowe school. Currently, two of their children attend Rowe and their third recently graduated from middle school and now attends The Bishop’s School. Neal attended UC Berkeley, graduating with a degree in sociology and worked in marketing in the high tech industry in San

Francisco. She returned to San Diego and spent the majority of her professional career as CEO of an aesthetic medical corporation, leading the company. Her family is a member of the Village Church and the Rancho Santa Fe Golf and Tennis Clubs, and is very active with the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and Library Guild. “Since moving to Rancho Santa Fe, I have dedicated myself to my family, our school and community. I have spent the last year attending school board meetings to understand the issues facing our school, served many roles on the RSF Education Foundation over the past eight years, initiated the Parent Forum, an effort to support collaboration around student success, and served the Rancho Santa Fe Association on the Village Vibrancy Committee supporting revitalization of our beautiful and special historic village,” Neal said. “As a school board member, I will be committed to supporting the qualities I feel are essential to all successful organizations: effective leadership, collaboration and innovation. This will ensure that we continue to attract and retain the families, teachers and other school leaders that are essential to supporting the success and reputation of our K-8 school and allow us to maximize the potential of all our children.” Tyler Seltzer Seltzer was appointed to the board in 2011 and elected in 2012 for a four year-term; he currently serves as board president. Both he and his wife, Liz, are graduates of R. Roger Rowe and now have three children attending the school. Seltzer is a USC graduate and a former executive in the food and beverage industry — he currently serves as a partner in his family’s private investment business. “I am running for re-election because I believe that I have provided steady, productive and positive leadership during my time on the board. That stability, continuity and proven experience is of heightened importance as we transition to a new district superintendent,” Seltzer said. “The RSF School District has a long and proud history of academic excellence, strong fiscal management, and deep community involvement. My perspective as board president, a graduate of R. Roger Rowe, and as a school parent of three current Rowe students affords me unique insight on how we can continue to deliver an exceptional educational experience for our students, parents, teachers and community.”

The Encinitas senior said dance is her preferred form of exercise and she was eager to learn some hip-hop steps. “I take a lot of classes and this one was really fun,” she said. Among those who came to watch was Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, a former competitive ballroom dancer and longtime volunteer for local senior fitness programs. She praised the teens for making the cross-generational connection with the seniors and hopes Dance2Heal will grow deep roots in the community.

for their physical and mental health,” she said. About a dozen patients in their 50s to 70s attended last week’s performance and smiled and applauded as the dancers performed routines that included hiphop and dance hall steps, balletic contemporary and rhythm tap. It took just a bit of coaxing to get the patients out of their chairs to try a few steps of their own. One woman in her 70s shouted out “don’t go too fast, I’m old!” And a hesitant man across the room asked for a handout so he could study a diagram of the steps before getting started. But most of the patients eagerly joined in with touch steps, half-spins and choreographed arm movements. A few said they wished their interactive dance portion of the program was longer because it was

An undercrossing will connect the Coast to Crest Trail where it runs through the valley. The road will be 60 feet from curb to curb, with a total width of 104 feet, which includes a 22-foot parkway, bike lanes and sidewalks. The existing El Camino Real will stay as an access road to the existing businesses and the old bridge will be demolished. For the new bridge, the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority is seeking grant funding to build a cantilever on the west side to allow for safe horse crossings. The road widening has been in the works for a long time, with the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) first presented back in 2006. With input from the public and the planning board, a task force was put together to look at alternatives such as a modified, narrowed eastern alternative and the additional alternative of roundabouts. The completed EIR reviewed the western, eastern and central alignments, as well as the roundabout option. “The eastern alternative is the only one that improves level of service at Via de la Valle,” Straughn said. The main significant impacts discussed in the EIR were land use, traffic and biological impacts, Straughn said. The widening will require a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and funding from Caltrans. Both the funding and approval are contingent on the fact that the selected alignment is the least environmentally damaging alternative.

Mihika applied to the program after learning about it from a friend. Students learned about the process of starting a company during the four-week program. In addition to hearing lectures, participants started their own companies. VivaFlow worked with MIT professors, PhD students, chemical engineers and companies such as FEDCO and UNEEC. FEDCO helped the students create their first prototype, which Mihika said is able to process lower concentration sea water. “The program ended at the beginning of July, but the company is still going and every company is still trying to make progress,”

The western alternative impacted the developments along the road the most, affecting businesses such as Mary’s Tack & Feed. The eastern alignment had the largest impacts to the polo field and developments to the east. Straughn said the city is able to take as much land as needed from the city-owned polo field and the new polo field lease with Surf Cup Sports ensures that the tenant will support any alternative for the widening. The city will also need to work with the developers of Hacienda Del Mar, who are planning a senior living facility on the 23.88-acre slice of property adjacent to the polo fields. Straughn said a two-lane roundabout would not achieve an improvement in traffic circulation — only one with a wider footprint of three lanes would improve the level of service. The city would not be able to take the land required to make a large enough roundabout without impacting Mary’s Tack & Feed or the surrounding wetlands habitat, making the option not feasible. The planning board had preferred roundabouts as an alternative but has also long lobbied for the road to be as narrow as possible through the sensitive river valley habitat — due to the larger footprint that would be required, the roundabouts would be the most damaging to the environment. Via de la Valle will be widened to four lanes from San Adres to El Camino Real, a widening that the Carmel Valley planning board opposed in 2013 due to its impact on the Del Mar Horsepark and adjacent businesses. Via de la Valle will continue as a two-lane road into Rancho Santa Fe. 20th in the state by MaxPreps. There will be a time to confront those challenges. But Haas said this trip was more about the human experience than the volleyball experience. “Life is about creating a story, and going through various experiences and being able to use volleyball as a medium to experience different cultures and other ways of doing things is a great opportunity,” Haas said. “It’s really just a learning experience and creating memories that they’ll take with them for the rest of their lives, and (building) relationships with their own teammates that they wouldn’t have the opportunity to do otherwise.” she said. VivaFlow — which now consists of Mihika, Sanya Verma of Michigan and Kai Lin of California — launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds to get the company up and running, from research and development, to manufacturing and distribution to communities in Haiti. VivaFlow has also received letters of intent from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help with distribution, Mihika said. “Short term, we hope to distribute our product to coastal communities in Haiti because they lack fresh drinking water but also have easy access to sea water, which is a perfect place to start,” she said. “Eventually, we hope to spread to coastal rural communities all over the world.” As of Aug. 26, the company has raised $705 of its $10,000 goal.

Teen spreads message of acceptance through children’s book BY KRISTINA HOUCK ith a Tuesday through Friday schedule at Classical Academy High School in Escondido, young Del Mar author Carly Marie Truscott spent nearly every Monday of her junior year reading to schoolchildren across San Diego County. Now entering her senior year, the 17-year-old plans to continue to spread a message of acceptance through her unconventional children’s book, “Fox, Bird, and Squirrel Were Not Friends.” “I was inspired to write the book after hearing about human rights issues,” said Carly, who specifically pointed to the struggle of transgender children. “I’ve just seen a lot of judgment throughout middle school and high school, and I feel like our culture is not accepting of differences, so I wanted to write this book to get the message of acceptance to kids early.” Originally, Carly’s story directly addressed gender roles and the struggle of transgender children. With the intention of reading to young children, she wrote several versions and eventually simplified her message. Written and illustrated by Carly, the children’s book is about forest animals that do not get along. But by the end of the story, the creatures realize that each of their traits are essential to the survival of everyone in the forest. “I felt like the metaphor of the animals in the forest was easier for kids to understand,” Carly said. “It applies to more children. They can relate to the book

through fourth grade at schools throughout the county, including schools in Escondido Union School District, Oceanside Unified School District and Poway Unified School District. She has since received dozens of thank-you letters from the children and their teachers. “The kids are so cute and sweet,” said Carly, whose next reading is at 3 p.m. Sept 27 during Coronado Library’s Story Hour. “Different schools take the message differently. Some children relate to it because they’ve been bullied.” Although Carly never intended to sell the book, she decided to self-publish the story and make it available because so many of the schools she visited wanted copies for their classrooms. To order a copy, send a message Carly on Facebook at www.facebook.com/foxbirdandsquirrel or Instagram at www.instagram.com/foxbirdandsquirrel. Carly is donating all proceeds to the Helen Woodward Animal Center, which will be honoring her on its Hope Telethon on Nov. 20. She will present the Rancho Santa Fe-based nonprofit organization with a $1,000 check during the event. “I’ve always loved the center,” said Carly, who has a dog named Diesel, and once participated in the center’s Summer Critter Camp. “But with this process, I’ve been able to really see what they do there. It’s amazing, so I’m really proud that I’ve been able to help them.”

The moment you found serenity.

The Marshall Tucker Band will perform at The Belly Up Sept. 6.

COURTESY

For Marshall Tucker Band frontman Doug Gray, a passion for music 45 years and counting BY ROB LEDONNE t’s an early Wednesday afternoon in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Doug Gray, frontman for the legendary Marshall Tucker Band, just took a walk on the beach from his nearby home. “This is what keeps me in shape,” Gray explains. “Going to the beach just makes you relax, and it helps when dealing with some of the stresses in life.” Come the night of Sept. 6, Gray will be a short walk from Solana Beach when the Marshall Tucker Band takes the stage at the Belly Up. It’s a show that’s part of their 45th anniversary tour dubbed Long Hard Ride, though don’t let its strenuous name fool you. For Gray, he’s relished his long career playing music. “It honestly doesn’t even feel like 45 years,” he’s quick to point out. “This tour feels the same as the one 40 years ago and every tour since then.” Known for classic songs such as "Heard It In A Love Song," "Can't You See” and "Fire On The Mountain,” the band’s founding 45 years ago materialized because of equal parts luck and talent. Fresh off of returning from Vietnam, the last thing the various members of the Marshall Tucker Band wanted to do was work a day job. “We looked at each other and decided to work during the day, and rehearse at night,” Gray said. Persistence to break into the music industry paid off when they were asked on a whim to open up for the Allman Brothers. The only problem is, Gray and his group of bandmates didn’t have a name. “We were more concerned about the music than our name at the time. They said, ‘In an hour, think of what we could call you.’ Someone happened to be twirling around a keychain with the name Marshall Tucker, and that became our first big break.” The band’s trip to San Diego has been one Gray is looking forward to, noting the band’s fanbase in Southern California, who are loyal year after year. “I have to tell you, the more intimate the venue the better I like it,” says Gray, who’s played his fair share of theaters, clubs, and arenas. “In the smaller ones, you actually get to see the people you’re performing for. At a place like the Belly Up you get to shake everyone’s hand.” When it comes to the band’s 45th year of

The Marshall Tucker Band’s 45th anniversary tour is dubbed Long Hard Ride. touring, Gray points to the fact that they are a jam band – who regularly invites guest artists – as the reason why the allure of being on stage continues to be fresh. “When somebody comes in to play with us it always makes it interesting,” says Gray. “We’ve been known as a jam band, so we play the songs we play and then always incorporate the jam part of it.” For Gray, it’s the interaction from the audience that makes the shows worthwhile. “It’s all about the people you’re playing for,” he notes. “If they scream out a song, if we remember how to play it we’ll play it. We haven’t done what I call a ‘structured’ set in at least 18 years.” That’s part of the reason why 45 years in, with their tour and latest album Live in the UK 1976, Gray and his bandmates show no sign of slowing down. Throughout the band’s ups and downs since their early days, he’s enjoyed being a part of show business. Says Gray of his career and the band’s vast legacy, “It’s so easy to get out and sing a song and be an entertainer. As long as you’re pleasing people, you’ve got it made.” The Marshall Tucker Band will play at the Belly Up Sept. 6 at 8 p.m. (Doors open at 7 p.m.) For more information, visit www.bellyup.com or www.marshalltucker.com.

Shelter to Soldier, headquartered in San Diego, announced it has been awarded a $15,000 grant from the Petco Foundation to underwrite the cost to adopt, house, care for, train and place a shelter dog with a post-9/11 combat veteran through Shelter to Soldier’s service dog training program. Every day on average, 20 U.S. veterans and one active duty service member commit suicide (Department of Veteran Affairs) and every day, 3,200 dogs are euthanized in the U.S. The Petco Foundation investment will help to alleviate the post-combat symptoms veterans endure while providing a purpose and home for a shelter dog. Together, the veteran and psychiatric service dog will create a bond that will transform the lives of both. The services Shelter to Soldier provides for free to veterans and their commitment to adopt service dogs, fulfills their mission of “Saving Lives, Two at a Time.” The grant was made possible through the Petco Foundation’s annual Helping Heroes fundraising campaign, in partnership with Natural Balance Pet Foods. During the campaign each October, customers are invited to donate in Petco stores across the country to support service and therapy animals and organizations. To learn more about veteran-support services provided by Shelter to Soldier, call (855) 287-8659 for a confidential interview regarding eligibility or visit www.sheltertosoldier.org.

SPONSORED COLUMNS PANCHO DEWHURST GDC Construction 858.551.5222

What to Expect During Your Home Build Throughout this column, we’ve discussed the various steps of the building process, from ﬁnding your contractor and building your team to the selection of your ﬁnish materials. As we wrap up this series, I want to list a few key elements of the process to help you avoid any surprises during the construction of your home. Keep in mind: Some contractors and builders can help you with the design, while others want you to come in with plans. Each builder will have a different style or

specialty, but just because some builders don’t design doesn’t mean they won’t deliver on the final product. However, you do want your contractor to be fully licensed, bonded and insured. If you have a chance to see examples of their finished projects, this can help you make a confident decision. When making a plan with your builder and staying involved throughout the construction process, you can still expect surprises. Have you ever heard the phrase “expect the unexpected”? This phrase certainly applies to building a house. The best way to plan for the unexpected is to know the general ins and outs of the building process. Here is a list of considerations and potential areas for surprise. Construction Loans If you apply for a construction loan, you’ll have to have copies of the floor plans and specs from your builder or architect so the mortgage lender can appraise the home to determine how much they will lend. It’s

common to make a down payment, or a personal guarantee, and the sum can be significant. Also, keep in mind that the appraisal and credit checks will come with fees, as well as title insurance on the land and homeowner’s insurance. The Budget Cushion It’s always best to have a full budget in mind with plenty of cushion. This is especially true for those taking out a home construction loan. It’s not uncommon for projects to go over budget (this is why we recommend to have a contingency built in between 10% to 15%). An experienced builder will factor in the budget allowances of design elements such as cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixtures. However, these allowances do not always account for homes with many custom and high-end features and addons. I recommend discussing with your construction team the level of finishes you expect so they can input the proper allowances for your taste. It would also be

smart to provide examples of the quality of work and styles of ﬁnishes you’re expecting. Quality Builders All builders are not of the same quality. Some lower-end builders will have lower allowances to make their bid seem more affordable. What you don’t want is for your builder to skimp on the important foundational and structural elements of your home, compromising the house’s integrity. This tends to happen more with lessexperienced and less-reputable builders. This is why researching your team and seeing the quality of previous projects is vital. The best way to stick to your budget is having a detailed set of plans to bid from. The more information on the plans the more accurate your bid will be. This will help the project to stay on budget with fewer surprises. Column continued at http://www.lajollalight.com/ news/2016/aug/18/What-to-ExpectDuring-Your-Home-Build/

PET OF THE WEEK

REGAL, a 7-year-old Ameri-

can Staffordshire Terrier, is looking for a new best friend. This sweet older boy was found by a Field Services Ofﬁcer on March 4 in poor condition. His teeth were worn down to the nub, he had red patches of missing fur on his limbs and abdomen, and after further evaluation, his medical team discovered that his body was riddled with BB pellets. Regal loves to spend his days lounging in plush beds with those he loves. His ideal home will be with older, respectful children or adults only, and because he’s such a ladies man, if there are other dogs in the home he would like them to be female. Regal is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside Campus located at 2905 San Luis Rey Road. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 757-4357.

In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08004312-14-2. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
