Association answers financial questions BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board provided an update in response to the “serious financial and managerial concerns” alleged by the Past Presidents Council in August. At the Sept. 1 meeting, RSF Association board treasurer Janet Danola said she has been “ticking off all of the financial issues raised in the letter one at a time” as her schedule

permits. The Past Presidents Council (PPC) was formed five months ago and includes 10 past Association presidents and four past Covenant Design Review Committee/Art Jury presidents. They hired a consulting group made up of people who collectively represent over 60 years of service to the Association (past managers Walt Ekard and Pete Smith,

and former covenant administrators Keith Behner and Ivan Holler) to examine Association actions and make recommendations. At the meeting, Danola answered the PPC’s concerns, including administrative department operating costs and authorized signers on bank accounts. In its letter, the PPC had questioned why the Association’s

administrative operating expenses have increased year over year, from $1.8 million in 2015 to $2.1 million in 2016 — which represents a $349,000 increase. Danola explained there was an increase in payroll, an increase in legal and litigation expenses and an increase in public relations, which were offset by a decrease in the CHP SEE ASSOCIATION, A22

RSF School District pursues report on Dacus parking, solar BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board voted Sept. 1 to move forward on preparing a mitigated negative declaration for its parking lot plan, paving the current dirt teacher parking lot on the Dacus property on El Fuego with an option to install solar panels on the lot’s canopies. A mitigated negative declaration (MND) could be completed for the project instead of a full environmental impact report (EIR), certifying that no significant environmental impacts have been determined. At the board’s Aug. 4 meeting, RSF School District Superintendent David Jaffe had proposed three options to the board which included the MND; a full EIR for the district’s entire master plan area, which includes property they do not own yet; or no project at this time. After reviewing all of the options, Jaffe recommended that the board pursue the mitigated negative declaration just on the property the district already owns. “What the mitigated negative declaration provides us is the report necessary if we choose to move forward with the parking lot and potential solar project,” Jaffe said. Jaffe said the district would still have the option to not move forward. As board member Scott Kahn said, the MND is not a commitment to build, it is just to gather information. At a future meeting, Jaffe will come back with the cost of the MND, the scope of the work, the environmental group who would prepare the report and projections on construction costs of any potential project.

Only 3 percent of Covenant burglaries are forced entry BY KAREN BILLING Burglaries are slightly up in the Covenant in comparison to the first six months of last year, according to RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser. At the RSF Association’s Sept. 1 meeting, Wellhouser reported that there were 10 burglaries in Rancho Santa Fe in the first six months of 2016, eight of them residential and two vehicle burglaries. There were four burglaries in the first six months of 2015. The trend in vehicle burglaries has been seen throughout the coastal San Diego area, Wellhouser said, noting that communities such as Encinitas and Del

Mar have also seen an increase over the past few months. Of the Covenant’s burglaries, only 3 percent were forced entry. “I encourage everybody to lock their house, don’t leave stuff in your car, lock your car and use your alarm. (These steps) are a big deterrent because a lot of our crimes are opportunistic,” Wellhouser said. Traffic collisions are down from 110 in the first six months of 2015 to 82 in the first six months of this year. Wellhouser said speed is the number one cause of accidents and the second is inattention, SEE CRIMES, A22

Two incumbents run unopposed Rancho Santa Fe killer: for Solana Beach School Board BY KRISTINA HOUCK Two Solana Beach School Board incumbents are running unopposed this November. Board members Rich Leib and Julie Union are both seeking another term. “We’ve always had great schools,” said Leib, whose three daughters — a college graduate, college student and high school student — attended schools in the Rich Leib district. “My No. 1 goal is to make sure that they remain great when we leave.” A Solana Beach resident for 21 years, Leib was first elected to the board in 2008 and re-elected to the board in 2012. Leib said he decided Julie Union to run for a third term to support Superintendent Terry Decker, who the board selected as the district’s new superintendent last year. Decker, who previously served as the district’s assistant superintendent of instructional services, replaced former Superintendent Nancy Lynch, who left the district last June. “He’s extremely accessible and makes good decisions,” Leib said. “I’m very positive about him, but he is new, so I think it’s important to give him that stability for

the next four years.” In addition, the school district has a bond on the ballot. The $105 million bond measure would help cover the costs of school improvements across the district. If voters pass the bond, the district plans to start with the reconstruction of Skyline Elementary School. “I want voters to realize that we do have great schools here,” Leib said. “You can have good public schools that really prepare people for junior high, high school and beyond. But we do need facilities for that, and we need to continue to upgrade those facilities.” If the bond is passed, Leib said he wants to make sure the funds are well spent. He also wants to continue to have “the best teachers” and continue the district’s successful Discovery Labs, which focus on science, technology, research, engineering, arts and math, or STREAM, and supplemental physical education. “It’s an important time for the school district, so I just think it’s very important that we are stable and continue to do the kinds of things that we’ve been doing,” he said. In his next term, Leib said he also wants to give additional attention to Eden Gardens, a neighborhood within the city of Solana Beach. Over the next four years, he said he SEE SB SCHOOL BOARD, A21

‘Today’s the day’

Woman made suicidal comment before stabbing niece, a friend and herself BY PAULINE REPARD “Today’s the day,” a suicidal Clairemont woman told her husband before driving to Rancho Santa Fe and fatally stabbing her teenage niece, a family friend and herself. Sayeh Amini, 52, had expressed suicidal thoughts before, and her husband thought that time on June 27 was another false alarm. But that morning, Amini attacked longtime family friend Ihnwon Mia Shin, 56, dragged her body into a closet and tried to wipe up the blood. When her 15-year-old niece, Hannah Arya, came home an hour later, she killed her. Amini then slashed and stabbed herself more than 40 times. Details on the slayings were made public last week in the county Medical Examiner’s Office autopsy report on Amini and an interview with sheriff’s homicide investigators. Hannah and Shin each were stabbed dozens of times, a sheriff’s homicide Detective Brian Patterson said. He said both of them suffered defensive wounds as they tried to ward off some knife strikes.

Patterson said Shin, who went by her middle name of Mia, probably fought back. “I’ve heard that Mia wasn’t meek, she wouldn’t have given up,” the detective said. Amini’s husband, James Moliere, told Medical Examiner’s Office investigators that his wife had “been behaving crazy” since the April death of her brother, the owner of the Rancho Santa Fe home and father of the murdered girl. Sheriff’s homicide investigators have concluded that Amini stabbed Ihnwon Mia Shin, 56, to death while the women were alone in the luxury, two-story house on Via de la Valle. Amini’s 15-year-old niece, Hannah Arya, had gone out to have coffee with friends. When they returned shortly before 11:50 a.m., Amini reached outside the door and yanked Hannah inside, saying, “I have something to show you.” Moments later the friends heard the girl screaming, so they drove down the street to call 911, according to Amini’s autopsy report. Deputies found the bodies of Amini and SEE KILLER, A22

SDUHSD teachers hold another protest in opposition to Muir, Salazar BY KAREN BILLING Protesters returned to the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) on Sept. 1 prior to the school board meeting, with over 20 teachers holding signs in opposition to board members John Salazar and Mo Muir. The opposition spilled into the board room as Bob Croft, president of the San Dieguito Faculty Association, spoke out against the board members. Croft said as the school year begins with Canyon Crest Academy at capacity, teachers remain concerned about Muir’s and Salazar’s votes against “desperately needed classrooms at CCA and other important Prop AA projects.” “Certainly we have seen with dismay Salazar’s efforts before to thwart taxpayer-approved Prop AA and the incredible infrastructure improvements it continues to bring to the students of our district,” Croft said. Croft noted Salazar’s continued opposition to Prop AA, where he said in an April interview: “Building new structures doesn’t provide better education.” “I wonder if Canyon Crest Academy parents would agree as it is their students who would be sitting in the school’s parking lot if the other board members would not have outvoted Salazar and Muir’s misguided opposition to these new classrooms,” Croft said of the new classroom building currently under construction. Croft said Salazar’s statement was “ignorant” and “laughable” and demonstrates “incredible,

Bob & Kathy Angello

uninformed and disconnected” judgment on his part. Croft also said Muir’s vote against the new classroom building was “misguided” due to her concerns about the lease-leaseback model, which she explained was due to a recommendation she heard at a California School Boards Association conference. Muir said on Sept. 1 that she has since had a lengthy discussion with Interim Superintendent Eric Dill to clarify that the builder-financed method of construction is legal and a valuable tool for school districts. “We simply need board members that won’t deny these classrooms to our students and offer up lame excuses at the expense of our students’ futures,” Croft said. “‘I don’t like structures,’ ‘I don’t like lease-leaseback’— they dither while our students’ futures suffer.” Ann Cerny, a La Costa Canyon parent and teacher, spoke previously during public comment at the Aug. 18 board meeting citing “disturbing evidence” that Muir’s and Salazar’s performance as trustees has “undermined the integrity of our excellent district,” even calling for Salazar to step down — to which he responded “That’s not going to happen.” At the Sept. 1 meeting, Cerny questioned why her comments were at first reflected briefly and adequately in the minutes of the August meeting but had since been revised to be shorter and less specific. “I wonder why a revision was done in the first

place. Why such attention to one sentence in a multi-page document?” Cerny asked. “Might this have been an attempt to sanitize minutes of a public school board meeting to minimize public criticism of school board members? Was this done to keep the public in the dark about Muir and Salazar’s misguided and dangerous leadership in order to help elect their allies in November?” She said the minutes failed to demonstrate why SDUHSD teachers “overwhelmingly believe Muir and Salazar are unfit board members.” The minutes were changed as a community member and a board member had expressed that the inclusion of public comment that specifically calls out a board member in the minutes has not been the board’s practice. In the past, minutes have briefly reflected the speaker’s name and the topic they are speaking on and they were amended in an effort to remain consistent, SDUHSD President Beth Hergesheimer said. Neither Salazar nor Muir is up for re-election this fall and Salazar said the teachers’ “organized bullying” is a reaction to the two board members’ votes against the 12.5 percent salary increase for district staff. He noted that both he and Muir were the top vote-getters in the district when they were elected in 2014. “Teachers continue to complain regularly on behalf of the union, even though the contract giving rise to their complaints was approved.

SDUHSD Superintendent search continues The San Dieguito Union High School District recently conducted interviews to replace former superintendent Rick Schmitt. At this time, the board of trustees has not made a selection. The search for a new, permanent superintendent is ongoing. Board President Beth Hergesheimer said, “San Dieguito deserves the very best. The Board of Trustees is committed to finding the perfect match for our district, teachers, students, and community.” Eric Dill will continue to serve as interim superintendent until the search is complete. Dill has been with the district since 2001 and was associate superintendent of business services prior to his appointment as interim superintendent. Hergesheimer said the board of trustees is pleased with Dill, noting that he, “brings stable, confident leadership from his years of experience and relationships throughout the district.” The district will keep the public informed on its progress.

RSF Village Vibe events No first day jitters for new RSF bring community together School District superintendent BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association continues to work toward energizing its village. The Association’s consultant, Stacey Pennington, was brought on in 2015 to lead the Village Vibe and build on the Association’s belief that the community would benefit from strategic engagement and village activation. On Sept. 1, she gave a report to the RSF Association board on the Vibe’s progress to date. “It’s far from just party planning,” Pennington said. “That’s the easy part. The more thoughtful part is actually how we involve the community members and work to gain their feedback.” From September 2015 to March 2016, the Vibe held biweekly gatherings on the Village Green in front of The Inn. The pop-up events featured socializing, information-gathering, food trucks and activities such as kids’ golf with the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. At the Vibe events’ peak, 120 people were in attendance. The Vibe also held larger seasonal events such as the Oktoberfest, a Halloween event that had kids engaging with village businesses and this June’s Celebrate Osuna. “Nothing tops Celebrate Osuna,” said Pennington of the event at the Osuna Ranch that featured a collaboration between the RSF Historical Society, the Osuna Committee and the RSF Garden Club. “This is really a great case study that gets at the heart of what we’re

It was really amazing to see everyone from young children to folks who have lived here for decades.” Over the summer, the Vibe has hosted “Summer Gatherings” such as an event on the Country Friends patio and a RSF Garden Club gathering at RSF Bistro. The next gathering will be held at the RSF Historical Society on Sept. 22 and there will be a RSF Library Guild concert on Sept. 29. The Vibe also plans to be very active at the upcoming Rancho Days community celebration, to be held Oct. 1-9, and on Nov. 19 is planning a gathering at the Arroyo property.

Jaffe, the former principal of Torrey Pines High, started work as superintendent on Aug. 1, only the fourth district superintendent since 1964. He welcomed 643 students back to school at R.

Jaffe visited as many classrooms as he could in the first week and said he was glad to see that the teachers hit the ground running. “There wasn’t a lot of fluff — students are getting to work right away,” Jaffe said. “When I walk from room to room on this campus and see the enthusiasm of the teachers, their excitement and passion for what they do, I know this is a wonderful school.

Rancho Santa Fe resident rides American Saddlebred to World Championship BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Debbie Tomin recently won the Adult Three Gaited Show Pleasure World’s Championship with her American Saddlebred horse Mister French. Tomin and Mister French earned the top prize at the World’s Championship Horse Show in Louisville, Ky., a competition that gathers over 2,500 of the best American Saddlebreds and Hackney Ponies in the nation. Mister French is 6 years old and was born and bred in Rancho Santa Fe on Debbie and Bill Tomin’s Rockridge Farm. The couple have lived at Rockridge Farm for over 30 years. Bill built the barn himself when they were surrounded by nothing but tomato fields until The Bridges community was built around them. Bill has been training horses his whole life and for the Tomins, their breed has always been the American Saddlebred — “The horse America made,” the horse that generals rode into battle during the Civil War and the horse with the spirited manner and temperament they personally love. For the World’s Championship Horse Show, the Tomins flew Mister French to the competition on Air Horse One, a large cargo plane that was converted into a horse transporter, operated by H.E. Sutton Forwarding Company. Regulars on Air Horse

One have included California Chrome, one of the highest-winning race horses in history, and Triple Crown winner American Pharaoh. Another local passenger on the plane was Regal’s Promoter, a Hackney Pony owned by Henry and Tracy Reif of Del Mar — Regal’s Promoter was shown in the Junior Exhibitor Hackney Roadster pony division. The two local horses were two of 15 on the plane that day — the plane can hold a total of 24 horses. The trip was three and a half hours, which is a much quicker trip than the long and hot 2,400-mile, 40-plus-hour van ride to Kentucky that the Tomins have endured the past 15 years taking various horses to the World’s Championship. “We wanted the horses to get there fresh and ready to perform,” Debbie said. Mister French is the son of French Silk Stalkings, a five-time World Champion and the winningest American Saddlebred in history. The Tomins have five of Silk Stalkings’ babies — 6-year-old Mister French was her first born. “She’s such a grand mare and has produced wonderful babies for us,” Debbie said of her 1-year-old, 2- year-old, 3-year-old and 4-year-old. Mister French was born right at Rockridge and Debbie tears up when she watches the video of his birth at the farm.

Debbie Tomin and Mister French celebrate their victory. Typically, the Tomins bring horses into the barn at 2 years old to begin training, teach them how to drive and pull a buggy, and get them ready to compete against the best in the world. “They’re hot babies so it takes a little while. We work with them almost every day,” Bill said. The Tomins admit it’s a challenge, running a

Mother-daughter duo promotes resources to prevent suicide BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a local mother and daughter raise awareness and help promote resources to prevent suicide all year long. “It’s an important cause for anyone and everyone because nobody is immune to being touched by suicide,” said Terri Wyatt, a longtime resident of Solana Beach. It’s been more than five years since Terri Wyatt lost her son to suicide. Preston Grover was 23 when he took his life in June 2011. Since their tragedy, Wyatt and her daughter, Kelsey Grover, have spent time educating the public about suicide, in an effort to prevent others from losing a loved one to suicide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 41,000 people in the United States die by suicide each year. Wyatt and Grover have been SafeTALK instructors for the past year. SafeTALK is a three-hour program that prepares anyone over the age of 15 to become a suicide-alert helper. Program participants learn to identify people who may have suicidal thoughts, ask them directly about the possibility of suicide, and connect them to lifesaving resources. The “safe” of SafeTALK stands for “suicide alertness for everyone,” while “talk” stands for the actions that one does to help those with thoughts of suicide: tell, ask, listen, and keep safe. “It was something that we always wanted to do together because it just means a lot to us,” said Wyatt, who has been a nurse for 37 years, spending 27 years at Sharp Memorial Hospital.

This course engages people and helps them feel comfortable.” The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention put the mother-daughter duo through the training to become SafeTALK instructors and continues to sponsor their classes in the community. Following the death of their son and brother, Wyatt and Grover first became involved with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention through its Out of the Darkness Walk in San Diego. The family participated in their first walk just months after Preston’s death. “I found something for my own healing and encouraged my family to get involved,” Grover said. “It’s been really important for us to help give back because going through the loss of a sibling or a son is something that’s extremely difficult,” she added. “We want to be able to prevent as many suicides as possible.” Since their first walk in 2011, Wyatt and Grover have become very involved with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. They both became SafeTALK instructors, and now, Wyatt serves on the board of directors for SEE SUICIDE, A20

TPHS grad’s latest film premieres on Netflix BY ROB LEDONNE It’s an early Thursday afternoon in the Los Angeles community of Marina Del Rey and Michael Gallagher, a 2007 graduate of Torrey Pines High School, is relaxing at his home after a trip to Bora Bora. “I’ve never taken a proper vacation as an adult,” Gallagher said. “This was my first one, and it was lovely. All of the traveling I ever do is for work.” The work Gallagher is referring to is his skyrocketing career as a writer and director. His most recent project, the comedy film “Internet Famous,” is streaming on Netflix now and serves as commentary on today’s bevy of celebrities who built their careers on social media and online popularity. It’s a world he knows well, considering he first gained prominence making sketch comedy videos while a student at Torrey Pines High School for a viral YouTube channel dubbed Totally Sketch. Gallagher wrote “Internet Famous” with fellow YouTube star and San Diego native Steve Greene. “We’ve been working in this world of digital celebrity and started noticing how big some people’s egos can get,” Gallagher explains of his initial idea to pen the film’s script. “We thought it’d be a hilarious jumping-off point for a comedy movie, so we began

A fake documentary (or “mockumentary”), the movie stars famed social media celebrities such as Shane Dawson and Christian DelGrosso, alongside veteran actors like John Michael Higgins (from films such as “We Bought a Zoo”

and “Pitch Perfect”), and Roger Bart (currently starring in the hit Showtime series “Extras” alongside Matt LeBlanc). “The movie’s essentially about these people who have such an ego, despite the fact all they really do is roll out of bed and flip on a camera,” says Gallagher. “We wanted to find actors who were comfortable making fun of their

online personas. We’re trying to hold up a mirror to our industry.” Shot over a period of three weeks in Los Angeles, the movie was later picked up for distribution by Lakeshore Entertainment, and Lakeshore then brought the project to Netflix. Despite a positive reaction so far, due to its mockumentary nature, some viewers who discover the film don’t

totally understand it’s all a spoof and not, in fact, a real documentary. “There’s a stumble-upon factor whenever you make something and put it out into the universe,” Gallagher notes with a laugh. “Some people who aren’t quite in-tune are just really confused by the whole thing. It’s not supposed to be taken seriously.” In addition to “Internet Famous,” Gallagher has a busy slate of digital projects coming down the pike. Later this fall a comedy dubbed “The Thinning” that takes place in a post-apocalyptic future hits YouTube Red and stars the Disney Channel’s Peyton List and Vine personality Logan Paul. It’s a project under Gallagher’s production company he named Cinemand.. “It stands for cinema on-demand and we started it because we just want to bring more quality filmmaking to digital projects.” Despite his hectic schedule, Gallagher still finds time to visit his family who live in North County. “My mom has a birthday party every year at the Del Mar Racetrack, so that was the last time I was down,” he said. “I love coming back.” “Internet Famous” is available on Netflix now.

TPHS graduate’s ‘Earning Admission’ helps kids plan for college Expert to speak at CV Library Sept. 20 BY KAREN BILLING The college admissions process has never been more competitive. Last year the Ivy League received almost 250,000 applications for 17,000 spots and at UCLA, one of the top public universities in the country, 92,000 applications came in for its 5,800 spots in the freshman class. With his new book, “Earning Admission: Real Strategies for Getting into Highly Selective Colleges,” Carmel Valley native Greg Kaplan hopes to help position students for success. His book provides a guide to help kids meet their dreams of attending their top-choice school by using strategic planning that begins early and crafting an application that stands out from the rest. Kaplan will share some of his strategies at a free book talk at the Carmel Valley Library on Tuesday, Sept. 20 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. “The book is designed to motivate people,” Kaplan said. “It can work for you.” Kaplan, who attended Carmel Creek Elementary School and was part of the first graduating class of Carmel Valley Middle School, graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 2005. He went to the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business and worked in private equity firms in Los Angeles and Brazil

before heading to law school at UC Irvine. Kaplan just completed law school and took the bar exam in July. He plans to work as an attorney as well as run his side business of college admissions consulting, Soaring Eagle College Consulting, that he co-founded three years ago. Soaring Eagle works with applicants as early as seventh grade to develop high-value skills and interests that admissions officers admire, and provides assistance in crafting an admissions essay that demonstrates value and shows off the students’ voice and personality. Soaring Eagle also helps international students who are looking to study in the U.S. The idea for the book was born out of people always asking him how he got into Penn and how they could help their kids get into their choice school. “It’s something that I’m really passionate about,” Kaplan said. “With a lot of strategy, you can take that application to the next level. I really enjoy helping people out.” In developing the book, Kaplan spoke with many people who sat on admissions committees and found out what they are most looking for in an application. He also drew a lot on his personal experiences, what worked for him, fellow classmates and close friends who found success. The book offers advice on the objective parts of an application — grades, test scores and the importance of early test prep – and strategies on how to approach

Author Greg Kaplan taking competitive classes in high school and mapping out a plan on how to perform well. Parents and students may be tempted to sign up for as many Advanced Placement or honors classes as possible, but Kaplan said students shouldn’t be in a rush to pack them in. “Creating a compelling transcript is a marathon, not a sprint,” Kaplan said. “Play to your child’s strengths and

encourage your child to take a schedule that is manageable and one that he or she can earn the best grades possible.” With the subjective part of an application, he takes the approach of an admissions officer, encouraging students to participate in after-school activities that “boost the odds of standing out from other applicants.” Kaplan said it’s important that kids are passionate about the activities they choose, whether its sports, volunteering or the arts. “Your child should seek leadership opportunities wherever possible,” Kaplan said. “Encourage your child to adopt the mantra of quality over quantity for the activities they participate in.” The book has also been translated to Chinese and Korean. As the number of kids coming to study in the U.S. from abroad has risen tenfold in the last 10 years, Kaplan said a lot of Asian-American kids are feeling a disadvantage. More than anything, Kaplan hopes to help take some of the anxiety out of applying to college. “This book will help people be calm,” Kaplan said. “Have a plan in place and the college admission process will go better than you expect.” “Earning Admission” is available on Amazon, iBook and Barnes and Noble.

DALE NELSON REACHES NINETY

D

ale was born on a farm near the small town of Lake Mills, Iowa on September 29, 1926. He attended the local school and excelled in athletics and other extra-curricular activities. He was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout in his senior year and was elected class president in both of his first two years. Upon graduating, Class of 1944, he immediately enlisted in the Army Air Corp, now called the U.S. Air Force. He served overseas with the Eleventh Air Force. Upon his discharge he entered the University of Minnesota on the GI Bill of Rights. It was at the University of Minnesota that he met Beverly Robinson that began a wonderful marriage of 54 years until Beverly’s passing in 2000. This marriage brought forth a daughter, Susanne and a son Jeffery. In 1958 they left for California, ending in La Jolla, far from the cold Minnesota they had left. In 1967 the opportunity to move to Rancho Santa Fe appeared, where Dale resides to this very day. While enjoying all the peace, beauty and weather of the “Ranch” Dale has contributed many civic duties to enrich the lives of all. Such as board member of the RSF Community Services District for 13 years. Also he was elected President of the Rotary Club on two occasions. He spent two years as Garden Club President, in addition, he was also the President of the Los Ancianos, a men’s club and a member of the Village Church. In addition, he holds the distinct honor of serving on both the Federal Grand Jury and the San Diego County Grand Jury. More recently he was a participant in an “Honor Flight”, along with a group of World War II veterans, to Washington D.C. to view the various monuments, including the newer World War II Monuments. For now, Dale just plans to live out the next 10 years, the lord willing, doing what he loves best…such as tending his gardens, feeding his birds and enjoying the love of his faithful dog“Puppy”.

TPHS Foundation rolls out new fundraising campaign The TPHS Foundation has announced its new “TP Education Fund- Pathways to Excellence” campaign which concentrates fundraising activities to benefit specific areas at Torrey Pines High School, namely funding the school’s new Pathways program which will provide students with the technical and academic knowledge they need to be college and career ready. This year, TPHS will implement new coursework to support six different concentrations including: Biotech; Business and Accounting; TV Production; Computer Science; Culinary Arts; and Engineering. These tracks will expose students to more indepth courses which support potential career aspirations. “TPHS Pathways are a new opportunity for students to connect their high school coursework to their college and career plans, “ states Robert Coppo, TPHS principal. “As part of a trend across California, our pathways are aligned with college expectations and industry standards and are designed to empower students with transferable skills they can use in whatever profession they pursue.” Funds raised through the TPHS Foundation will be used to supplement instructional materials, equipment and other items needed to support student success. “Our pathways are designed to ensure that our Falcons continue to lead the way today, and in the future”, continues Coppo. In addition to Pathways, the Foundation will continue to

fundraise to support the PALS (Peer Assistance Leadership Support) and its yearlong programming, classroom technology, FalconFest, mentoring programs, AVID college prep program, and Teacher Classroom Grants, just to name a few. “Whether TPHS is looking to continue, improve, or build a program, the TP Education Fund provides the support necessary to help the school move quickly to serve students and keep them on the cutting edge of education”, says Coppo. “By working to identify specific needs, the Foundation provides invaluable support that directly impacts the lives of our students. Whether it’s providing equipment for a new course or funding for a wellness program, the TP Education Fund supports all of our Falcons as they work toward their future. “ Interested parents and community members can go to the TPHS Foundation website at www.torreypinesfoundation.org for information on the TP Education Fund and the programs and projects it supports or to make an online tax deductible donation. Any donor who contributes $800 or more to the TP Education Fund will receive tickets to an Appreciation Event to be held on Jan. 21, 2017 at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe, among other items. “This will be an event our parents and community will not want to miss,” states Foundation Executive Director Nicole Baril. “We are planning an unforgettable evening for our Bronze, Gold and

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

Achieving the life you want in today’s state of the art climate may seem nearly impossible. The practical route to self-healing and success in careers, relationships, or mental and physical health can be realized from a reset frame of mind.

Hall explains how you may have failed once or even a thousand times before, running around in circles trying to make life work. This book shows you how repeating trial and error will not bring you to success or your dreams. Hall points to the opened window from personal senses of failure. Manifesting Miracles 101 is simply a ground- breaking blueprint for authentic joy. With one step taken in front of the other, your life can be steadily adjusted by practical physical, mental and emotional guidance. “Many people seem to be trapped in endless

cycles of unfulfilled success. I didn’t want other ambitious, intelligent and loving people to continue making the same mistakes. I wanted them to live the life of their dreams,” says Hall.

T

he last time I wrote about school start times, I began by saying, “I can’t believe I’m writing about this again.” And here I am doing it yet again. Why? Because school boards continue to resist mounting evidence supporting the need for later school start times for adolescents. In a column back in Sept. 2014, I praised the San Dieguito Union High School District for working toward flexible start times that gave students and families choices on what time to start school. That praise was premature. SDUHSD attempted to make appropriate adjustments, but the district has failed to move start times later. Start times at the two high school academies – Canyon Crest and San Dieguito – continue to be too early: 8 a.m. and 7:50 a.m. respectively. The two so-called boundary high schools, La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines – have both made changes to their bell schedules this year. But neither addressed the need for later start times as a primary objective.

LCC and TP continue to have a 7:40 a.m. start time – well earlier than the recommended 8:30 or 9 a.m. Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of instructional services, said about the start times at all four of the district’s comprehensive high schools, “Regular start and dismissal times did not change.” To be fair, San Dieguito did try. SDUHSD decided that flexible start times and new bell schedules at LCC and TP were the answer. This allowed the district to maintain the same time for dismissal, which avoided the thorny issue of interfering with after-school sports schedules. Flex start means students can take fewer classes and start the day later. Except it isn’t working out that way. Beginning this fall, the new schedules at TP and LCC allow students to take seven classes per year instead of six. This was done to compete with the eight classes per year (four per term) the two academies offer, which the

district says is a major draw for CCA and SDA. Grove said the ability to take more than six classes per year was shown in district surveys to be the main reason why students prefer the academies over the two boundary schools. He said the district wasn’t going to solve some of the enrollment issues and lessen the demand to attend the academies until LCC and TP found a way to let kids take more than six classes a year. But if LCC and TP students want to take more than six classes, their start time remains at 7:40 a.m., just as before. And kids, it turns out, unsurprisingly, want to do just that. Instead of benefiting from a later start time by taking fewer classes, many students are taking a full load of classes. Even if they choose to take just six classes, they are still starting school early every other day since the schedules alternate days. So students can either take one less class and have a later start time every other day, or take seven classes and start early every day. Some choice. The seventh class To offer that seventh class, there’s no way to describe in words how complicated LCC’s bell schedule now is. You have to see it visually to get a sense of it. Go to the La Costa Canyon website and scroll down to the 2016-2017 Bell Schedule Information box – http://lc.sduhsd.net/ documents/About/Bell%20

Schedule/2016_2017%20Bell% 20Schedule_4.pdf “No one’s going to say that it’s simple to understand,” Grove said. “It’s obviously more complicated.” At LCC, he said they recognize “that it takes some explanation.” The new schedule was discussed at length at Readiness Days, and the school even developed a phone app that tells students what that day’s schedule is. For example, the schedule has a “brunch” passing period (brunch, Grove said, is just a longer period between classes) that ends at 9:19 a.m. on Week A Monday, ends at 9:18 a.m. on Week A Tuesday, ends at 9:10 a.m. on Week B Monday, and ends at 9:50 a.m. on Week B Tuesday. There’s a different lunch time each day, and every other Monday is early dismissal, to allow for teacher collaboration at the end of the school day. [As an aside, why didn’t they put the teacher collaboration time at the beginning of the school day so kids could sleep in?] Grove said the school had three goals when they designed this confusing schedule: provide collaboration time for teachers, allow students the option to take up to seven classes per year, and offer an Extended Study Period. Note that not one of the goals was to provide a later school start time. The ESP is scheduled three times each day on Wed. and Thursday of Week A, three times a day on Tuesday and Wed. of Week B, and once a day on Friday of Week A and SEE SUTTON, A20

SDUHSD needs a fiscally-responsible board with a shared strategic vision In this election year I am concerned about the San Dieguito High School District’s board leadership. I believe that the district needs a strong board that has a shared strategic vision to maintain the district’s high standards of educational excellence into the next decade and a balanced, fiscally conservative budgetary and administrative approach to ensure that all resources are used efficiently. Currently the board, in a 3-2 split decision, approved a budget that may compromise the fiscal solvency of the district in future years.

Additionally, they have not developed a proactive strategic plan that has received the proper input and buy-in from all important stakeholders, including taxpayers, parents, students, administrators, and teachers. This plan needs to be developed in an independent and collaborative manner, that is not beholden to any special interests of any one group such as the teacher’s unions. I am very concerned that the district leadership has been fiscally irresponsible by approving a new teachers’ contract that allowed for a 5.5 percent retroactive pay increase with a 7.5 percent annual raise thereafter that includes such outlandish clauses as one that increases pay if any other local district in the area increases their pay with no tie to student performance. Budget projections show that the contract may result

in future district deficits. This budget may even allow for increasing the average class size to 38 students. This budget is not only fiscally irresponsible, but risks the great student performance that San Dieguito schools are known for. The district deserves a fiscally conservative and responsible budget with no deficit spending that will put the health, well-being and performance of our students as our number 1 priority. The San Dieguto board majority must stop pandering to excessive and uncompetitive demands of its unions and start adopting the same conservative fiscal and administrative policies that our students’ families, businesses and future employers must adhere to.

FROM PROTEST, A3

FROM SUTTON, A18

These ongoing complaints about things that have already been resolved favorably in their behalf, continues to take up valuable board time with personal attacks on board members who felt that the district’s reserves should have been used differently until the district weathered the impact of the law passed by Governor Brown forcing districts to literally dump their savings,” Salazar said. “We thought the money should have been used on student programming instead of teacher salaries and that further examination of the contract and budget was warranted. But, because the incumbents approved these items, no further review could occur and the adoption was final.” Salazar said he and Muir believe fiscal balancing is critical to maintaining district solvency, not the adoption of reoccurring expenditures like the salary increase that cause a $6.7 million deficit. “The primary mission of a school board is to support our students and their academic progress to the maximum possible and we intend to be watchdogs over this mission so that union demands never become more important than our students’ success,” Salazar said. Salazar said few people attend the board meetings so he believes there is a lot of misinformation circulating among the teachers through Croft, who he said receives a full teacher’s salary as well as a district paid salary for his position as a union president, even though he does not actively teach. “The teachers have never had board members say ‘no’ to them. However, it’s my fiduciary duty to make good policy decisions that protect our kids and the sustainability of our district,” Muir said. “I don’t back down to bullies in the classroom and I won’t back down to bullies in the board room. I hope we can have fact-based discussion and not your typical special interest political season rhetoric.” Croft noted that in San Dieguito, the teachers are the union as they have nearly 100 percent volunteer membership. He also said that the same union never picketed when they went seven years without raises. “This is not about salaries, that’s old news. It’s about their continued actions in opposition to crucial Prop AA projects like new classrooms at CCA,” Croft said. “They got elected in 2014 because there was a lack of awareness in the community. If you only listened to them you’d think this was a horrible district but, in reality, it’s one of the best districts in the nation.”

Monday of Week B. If anyone wanted to make it more complicated, they couldn’t have. Hells Bells Grove said the LCC staff did not want to copy Torrey Pines’ new bell schedule which also allows students to take seven classes but has a Period 3 class every day that’s half the length of time as the other classes. At TPHS, students will alternate days for their classes: Periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 on one day, and Periods 2, 3, 4, and 6 on alternating days. As at LCC, TP students can opt to take fewer than seven classes. Period 3 is 55 minutes daily, while the other classes are 100 minutes every other day. Because it’s less than an hour long, Grove said it was important to try not to schedule P.E. classes or science classes with wet labs during Period 3. Although this schedule is easier to follow, word is that having Period 3 daily, combined with an unanticipated 100 more students at all grade levels, has caused serious scheduling challenges. Grove admitted that regular start and end times at all four high schools did not change, but added that the new schedules did give kids more flexibility. Dismissal times at both boundary schools (TP and LCC) are the same as previous years: 2:35 p.m. Dismissal is at 3 p.m. at CCA and 3:10 p.m. at SDA. Altering dismissal times by moving everything

FROM DISTRICT, A1 In December 2015, the board approved its master plan for the district, which includes purchasing and closing a portion of El Fuego, the road now bordering the west side of the 7-acre campus, and rerouting traffic westward, to Mimosa Place. The plan also calls for the district to acquire properties now owned by private parties and the Rancho Santa Fe Association. During public comment, Mimosa resident John Giovenco reminded the board that the development along Mimosa and El Fuego has been a controversial issue for at least a

FROM SHOW, A5 “They’re like carousel houses,” Debbie said of the way the horses march and trot with happiness and pride. “Saddlebreds are considered the peacocks of the show ring because they like to show off, they prance and get tall, their ears perked and their eyes big and bright.” For a lack of a better term, they strut their stuff. The event is steeped in tradition and riders wear derby hats and jackets — Debbie always tries to pick colors that complement the horse.

forward one hour would have met with resistance, Grove said, citing not just athletics conflicts but also transportation issues and a change in the work day for employees. “It would have had to be a negotiation process [with the teachers union] to move everything forward one hour,” he said, although he noted that there are teachers on both sides of the issue, some wanting later start and end times and others not. These bell schedules were all approved without discussion at the Sept. 1 school board meeting. Slow to learn Last spring, former SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt sent me a link to a New York Times story headlined, “Schools are slow to learn that sleep deprivation hits teenagers hardest.” He urged me to tout how the district has heeded the call for later start times, writing, “This year 2/4 high schools have flex start, [and] next year with the new bell schedules at LCC and TP all of our high school kids will be able to flex start.” After reading the headline, I responded, “San Dieguito was indeed slow to learn. Your district ignored the data, disregarded the science, and dismissed the evidence – for decades. … Maintaining early start times and appeasing the special interests became more important than listening to science.” After-school sports schedules remain sacred. Sports programs dictate the timing of the school day and, it would seem, still trump academics. Research shows that students at schools that start at 8:30 or 9 a.m. are more alert and attentive,

perform better academically, test better, have more positive attitudes, are happier, have fewer delinquency and behavioral problems, have decreased rates of illness and tardies, and are less likely to engage in risky behavior after school since school ends later in the afternoon. Approving later start times for adolescents is the easiest decision school boards can make if they are serious about improving student achievement, health and quality of life. It’s a simple change that puts student health and academic interests first. This has been confirmed by the American Academy of Pediatricians which formally recommended delaying school start times. “The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes insufficient sleep in adolescents as an important public health issue that significantly affects the health and safety, as well as the academic success, of our nation’s middle and high school students,” reads a 2014 AAP study. The AAP reported that moving start times later “will align school schedules to the biological sleep rhythms of adolescents, whose sleep-wake cycles begin to shift up to two hours later at the start of puberty.” Said Terra Ziporyn Snider, executive director and co-founder of Start School Later (www.startschoollater.net), “Moving school start times is no guarantee that most teenagers will get the sleep they need. But not moving school start times is a guarantee that most won’t.” Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

decade and was a subject of a lawsuit in 2009. Giovenco said that the lawsuit alleged that 2009 plan for Dacus was not in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act regulations. The suit was settled in 2010, permitting the school to proceed with the current parking lot on the El Fuego site; however, the terms of the settlement included that the district may not develop other specific properties on El Fuego or Mimosa without obtaining an EIR and that the district shall consult with the community and residents during the early stages of any future development process.

“The district began violating the agreement almost immediately after signing it and is still in violation,” Giovenco said. “There has been continuous planning to develop properties along Mimosa and El Fuego with absolutely no consultation with the community, including residents of Mimosa.” Giovenco said that the district’s master plan must have taken months if not years to complete and there was no consultation with neighbors even though it proposes the acquisition of properties all along Mimosa. “How can the board move ahead on the Dacus property when the district is in continuous violation of

the previous agreements? Is there to be no transparency of the district’s plans, no input from your neighbors whose lifestyle and homes are directly affected? No outreach to the community?” asked Giovenco. “Such disregard for the agreement terms and a loss of goodwill and credibility will certainly, at a minimum, affect any bond issuance necessary to further your plans.” Jaffe noted that as part of the mitigated negative declaration, there is an opportunity for community input. While it is not as long a process as a full EIR, there will be a chance for public comment in the report.

nonprofit’s San Diego walk every year. The Out of the Darkness Walk is the organization’s signature fundraising event, bringing together family, friends and supporters in nearly 350 communities nationwide. A total of 2,179 walkers participated in the San Diego walk last year, raising $141,000 for research, education, advocacy, outreach and support. “We want to educate the public as much as possible and remove the

stigma around suicide,” Grover said. This year’s walk takes place Saturday, Oct. 22 at NTC Park at Liberty Station, located at 2600 Cushing Road in San Diego. The San Diego chapter expects 2,500 walkers this year and hopes to raise $170,000. “It’s a very powerful and moving experience,” Wyatt said. “If you’ve lost someone, there’s support and resources. If you’re struggling, we have a lot of organizations there to

offer support. It’s a very supportive and healing environment.” “There are so many other people going through this,” Grover added. “You’re not alone.” Registration, along with a resource fair and survivor activities, start at 8:30 a.m. The opening ceremony begins at 10 a.m. To register, visit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s website at afsp.donordrive.com.

Leading up to the event, Debbie worked as hard as Mister French, riding every day to get her wind up and hiking the local trails. “Preparing for a competition like this is so much stress,” Debbie said. “There’s so much pressure and hopefulness, lots of good dreams. Everybody wants to win.” “You have to go in with the instinct of ‘I’m gonna win,’” Bill said. In competition, the top 24 of 60 horses were in the arena together and there is a lot of positioning that goes on in terms of getting the horse to be seen by the three judges.

“There’s a lot of skill involved, setting the horse up by riding and steering and then letting the horse loose to express themselves,” Bill said. “You have to find your spot but you can’t be pulling on the reins, you have to make the horse look good.” The competition takes about 20 minutes, walking and cantering, “It should look like a pleasure to run,” Debbie said. In Kentucky, Debbie said the competition was exciting, Mister French had a lot of energy and performed well. The judges lined the

horses up before they announced the winner. “When I won, my mouth was wide open, I was so shocked,” Debbie said. She and Mister French then took their solo victory lap while Bill proudly watched from behind the rail where he had been coaching. “I was crying, it was such an accomplishment.

I’d like to expand it,” said Leib, noting that the district is now offering scholarships. “I’ve had a real good chance of seeing what programs work and don’t work,” he added. “The key for our area, for those that are economically-disadvantaged, is to enter into the school district as close as possible to everyone else. We need to make it a level playing field, and to do that, you need free preschool.” In addition to serving on the school board, Leib is the co-founder, executive vice president and general counsel of Liquid Environmental Solutions, a nationwide company that handles non-hazardous liquid waste. He also serves as a trustee of North Coast Repertory theatre in Solana Beach and as a board member of Temple Solel in Cardiff. He previously served six years on the Board of Governors of the California Community College System, including two years as president. He was also one of the founding board members of Green Dot Public Schools, a nonprofit organization that operates charter schools in Greater Los Angeles. Union, a Carmel Valley resident for nearly 20 years, was first elected to the board in 2012. During her first term, Union invested time in learning about public school policy and practice. She earned a master’s in governance from the California School Board Association, which entailed 40 hours with education leaders. She also attended many conferences, served on the CSBA Delegate Assembly for San Diego County, and traveled to Sacramento to advocate for students locally and statewide. “I have cherished the opportunity to positively impact the Solana Beach School District,” Union said. “As a district, we have accomplished a great deal in the last four years, and I am very excited to have the opportunity to continue for another term.” Union said she is most proud that the district’s STREAM initiatives have “literally exploded,” with support from the Solana Beach Schools Foundation. The district now has a full-time certificated STREAM teacher at every school site. “These teachers provide interactive

lessons that are based on real world problem solving and are highly engaging,” she said. “This year, I have seen students more excited about learning than ever before.” Union said she is also proud of the district’s improved Child Nutrition Program, outreach to parents, and support of students through partnerships with organizations such as Casa de Amistad, The Boys and Girls Club, and PIQE (Parent Institute for Quality Education). “Lastly, I am proud of the emphasis on character and leadership education, currently promoted in our schools,” she said. The board’s goals for the future will be determined by the passage or denial of the bond, Union said. “For the first time in district history, a bond will be on the November ballot,” she said. “If the bond passes, the district has a detailed and complete facilities master plan covering all seven schools that will be implemented. If denied, hard decisions will need to be made on partial improvements.” Other goals, she said, are tied closely to the district’s strategic plan and involve helping every student meet or exceed grade-level standards in order to be prepared for success after elementary school. In her next term, Union said she is “passionate about building strong families by encouraging parent education opportunities, focusing on whole child wellness, and supporting school connection events.” She also wants to support environmental stewardship in the district. “The district already does a great job incorporating teaching in each of our school gardens,” she said. “I would like to explore more ways we can reduce, reuse, and recycle at our schools.” In addition to serving on the school board, Union has two part-time jobs, as a substitute teacher and special education aide in other North County districts, and as a program manager for Access Destination Services, which creates and delivers large group experiences for companies that come to San Diego. With three daughters, 10 years apart in age, Union has been a Girl Scout leader for the past 19 years. She has also been active in PTA leadership. “I have been behind the scenes for four years and remain consistently impressed by the professionalism, passion and desire for excellence displayed by our whole school community,” Union said. “It is an honor to serve this extraordinary district.”

FROM KILLER, A2 Hannah lying in pools of blood in the kitchen and the dining room. Hannah died of stab wounds. Shin’s body was in a storage closet under an indoor stairway, with evidence that Amini had tried to clean up afterward. The autopsy noted that Amini had stabbed herself 21 times in the neck and another 21 times in the torso, and inflicted countless other superficial wounds on various parts of her body. No findings were available on how many times Hannah and Shin were stabbed. No traces of alcohol or common narcotics were found in Amini’s system, the autopsy showed. Carl Starett, an El Cajon bankruptcy attorney and friend of Moliere and Amini, said after the killings that Amini had been delusional and suicidal since her brother, Michael Arya, died of cancer. Amini was named as trustee of her brother’s trust. She and her niece were to inherit his estate along with his girlfriend, Marina Ryzhkova, Starett said. He said Amini believed her brother’s friends blamed her for his death, and that she might face lawsuits and financial ruin. Starett said Amini’s husband tried twice to have her

committed to a mental hospital, and once she stayed at the hospital overnight. The Medical Examiner’s report said that after Michael Arya died his girlfriend continued to live there, but she had gone to Russia for a vacation at the time of the murders. Hannah had been at boarding school in Arizona, but took time off to be with her father as his health declined. She flew back to San Diego on Saturday, June 25, with plans to stay through the Fourth of July, according to a family friend. Shin, a Los Angeles real estate broker, had worked for the girl’s father and remained a close family friend. She picked up Hannah at the airport and they had dinner together before picking up a girlfriend of Hannah’s who flew in from Portland. Then they went to Hannah’s family home. Amimi also was staying at the home, according to the autopsy report. Hannah and her Portland visitor went off Monday morning to meet other friends for coffee. Shin stayed at the house with Amini. There is no record of what passed between the two women before Shin was slain. Investigators said Amini left no suicide note. – Pauline Repard is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

FROM ASSOCIATION, A1 contract and a decrease in consulting services. Administrative payroll expense was $1.2 million in 2016, up from $900,000 in 2015. “Of the $327,000 increase expense during 2016, all but $7,000 was included in the 2016 budget for overall administrative payroll,” Danola said. “The increase in expense in 2016 over 2015 was due to three things: The hiring of two administrative managers which were included in the budget; number two, severance payment for two former employees not included in the budget; and number three, higher health care costs. Those three increases in cost were offset by lower staffing levels.” Danola said the legal and litigation expenses, which went from $162,000 in 2015 to $290,000 in 2016, were equally divided between administrative land use issues, and potential litigation and settlements. Danola said the board intends to make every effort to control the

spending on the administrative land use component, but the potential litigation piece is difficult to control and difficult to estimate accurately for budgeting purposes. The budget for legal and litigation for 2017 is $275,000. The PPC also asked why the board of directors’ expense was $23,000 this year, up from $12,000 in 2015. Danola said the increase was due entirely to printing and mailing of the governing documents. The PPC’s letter asked the board to address why Association checks were being signed by someone without the authority of the board. Danola said in April 2016, then-treasurer Kim Eggleston signed the bank-issued authorization form that added Association Controller Matthew Ditonto as the authorized signer of the Union Bank operating account. Ditonto began signing checks in April 2016. In July 2016, the new board passed a resolution that gives signing authority to Ditonto, Danola said. In addition, Director of Accounting, Technology and Compliance Don

May visually examined all checks below $1,000 from the operating account from February through July. “Nothing appeared out of the ordinary,” Danola said. “Over 1,000 checks were visually inspected.” A second issue regarding checks raised by the PPC was that checks were being signed by a computer-generated signature when the signer was no longer employed by the Association or present in the office for a five-month period. The letter stated that as recently as Aug. 6 checks were issued under a signature of a former employee. “Authorized signers as of today are either employees of the Association or board members,” Danola said. RSF resident Marie Addario was the only member of the PPC in attendance at the meeting and expressed her gratitude for the board’s attention to the letter’s concerns. “As a representative of the Past Presidents Council, I want to thank you and the board for dealing with our questions,” Addario said. “We appreciate the time spent, and we really appreciate this cooperation.”

included a double-homicide as, unfortunately, the Patrol had to respond to the June 27 incident on Via de la Valle where three women, including a teenager, were killed in a double-homicide and suicide. As Wellhouser noted, security checks for homeowners have become one of the most popular services they provide. They did over

The Struts return to San Diego for KAABOO

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Struts might hail from the United Kingdom, but San Diego has somewhat become a second home to the band. In the past two years, vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott and drummer Gethin Davies have taken the stage in San Diego more than once. The band is set to return to San Diego in September for KAABOO Del Mar. “San Diego is one of the first places we played,” Spiller said. “We’ve been there three or four times visiting or playing shows. It’s always been very good to us.” Since forming in Derby, England, in 2012, The Struts band has continued to receive critical acclaim for their 2014 debut album, “Everybody Wants.” After touring throughout North America throughout 2015 in support of their “Have You Heard” EP, the band re-released a remastered and extended version of “Everybody Wants” via Interscope Records in March. The band wrote about 10 new songs for the re-release, Spiller said, ultimately choosing five for the album. “We decided to improve the album, which was cool,” he said. Since signing with Interscope, The Struts band members have

CHRIS CUFFARO

The Struts will perform at KAABOO Del Mar Sept. 17. continued to bring back rock ‘n’ roll to the forefront with their catchy singles, rock star antics and nonstop tour around the world. Some of the band’s influences include Queen, David Bowie and The Rolling Stones, whom they opened for in Paris in 2014. Since then, the four-piece band has also opened for legendary rock band

Guns N’ Roses and supported Mötley Crüe on their final four performances at the end of last year. The band has also played a variety of festivals across the country, including BottleRock, Firefly and Lollapalooza. Joking that The Struts live in a town called “Suitcase,” Spiller said the U.S. reception has “been great.”

“The crowd has been really good,” he said. The Struts are set to return to San Diego Saturday, Sept. 17 at KAABOO Del Mar with a lineup that will likely include chart-topping hits “Kiss This” and “Could Have Been Me.” At the same time, Spiller said the band is currently working on new material.

“The album is quite old now and we’ve got a lot of stuff built up,” Spiller said. “It’s important to get as many fresh songs as possible. We’re just getting started.” For more about The Struts, visit www.thestruts.com. For more about KAABOO or to purchase tickets, visit www.kaaboodelmar.com.

Start a tab for laughs, it’s time for “The Cocktail Hour’ BY DIANA SAENGER Millions of people like to share a cocktail now and then. Fortunately, San Diegans can now partake in a special cocktail hour when the North Coast Repertory Theatre opens its 35th season with A.R. Gurney’s witty comedy of manners “The Cocktail Hour.” The play premiered in 1988 at The Old Globe Theatre, but Director Rosina Reynolds believes it still resonates with the societal changes this long-established family goes through. “Gurney weaves the play together with witty observations and family dynamics, but without establishing a recognizable plot; and then that very point becomes the plot by the end of the play,” Reynolds said. The New Yorker praised Gurney’s “The Cocktail Hour” as “the best play he has done.” It is also considered his most personal play. The focus is on a New England couple who is not only privileged, but has passed that baton onto their adult children. “When son John arrives for dinner at his parent’s home, he brings along a provocative tell-all script he has written about their family,” Reynolds said. “But the rest of the family does not like the idea. We are watching the remnants of the post-war years disappearing with the approach of the late ’70s, which is when the play is set, with the next generation moving forward.” One can image the laughs that come out of a cocktail hour with friends or family. Yet one reviewer mentioned this play needs actors with serious comic chops. Reynolds said she’s very pleased with her cast: J. Michael Flynn, Chris Petschler, Cristina Soria and Shana Wride. “Obviously I wanted this to look like a

f f i d r a C

real family, which I believe I have accomplished,” she said. “Because the play is made up of comedy and drama, the cast had to be equally talented and able to deal with human frailties. The play’s structure is clever and the language is diligent.” The production team includes Marty Burnett (Scenic Design), Matthew Novotny (Lighting), Melanie Chen (Sound), Elisa Benzoni (Costumes), Andrea Gutierrez (Props) and Peter Herman (Wig & Hair). Aaron Rumley is the Stage Manager. Reynolds sees the story as very relevant to families today, in how some children are not overly affectionate with their parents and unaware of their parents’ prime years, which are now fleeting. ■ IF YOU GO: “The Cocktail Hour” runs Sept. 7-Oct 2 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Heidi Bartolotta with her two daughters.

BRENT HAYWOOD PHOTOGRAPHY

Moms Making Six Figures encourages a lifestyle of balance BY STACEY PHILLIPS Nearly eight years ago, Heidi Bartolotta was finding it was an ongoing challenge trying to juggle full-time employment while caring for her two daughters. As a result, the former pharmaceutical sales representative and two other women decided to establish a company in 2009 that would provide financial stability and offer the ability to spend more time with their families. The result was San Diego-based business Moms Making Six Figures. It has now grown to include more than 500 parents in similar situations; 150 of them are in San Diego. “We essentially take women who come from other backgrounds and we mentor them on how to have success here,” said Bartolotta, a resident of the Del Sur area in San Diego. ”It’s very different than what many of the women have done in the past but it provides a lot of freedom.” Those who are part of Moms Making Six Figures work as marketing representatives for a U.S.-based manufacturer of more than 500 consumer products sold online. Bartolotta said the high-quality wellness items are a great value and include healthy snacks, nutritional goods and safer cleaning products. In addition to educating family, friends and others in the community about the products, team members spend time mentoring other parents as part of the business. The women and men involved come from a wide range of backgrounds, including stay-at-home moms and dads, doctors and accountants. Many previously held successful jobs in the corporate world but longed to be at home with their children. They all have a common goal: to create a lifestyle of balance to enhance their lives, be there for their families, and help others do the

same. “It provides a lot of ability to really be a mom,” said Bartolotta. “Yes, we have all had successful backgrounds and we all need to be financially successful, but we really want women to have flexibility to be on the soccer field, the piano recitals and those kinds of things.” Bartolotta said that Moms Making Six Figures helps parents create a passive, stable income. There is no limit to their potential earnings; however, it takes commitment and dedication to be successful. She tells newcomers the importance of spending at least five to 10 hours a week to see results. Over the years, she has witnessed many of these parents who once had stressful careers, become happier and calmer. Kara Lynch Guthrie, who lives in Carmel Valley, has been part of Moms Making Six Figures for the past five and a half years. Before getting involved, she spent 21 years in the media business, routinely working more than 50 hours a week. “I realized pretty quickly after leaving the media industry that my life was really out of balance,” said Guthrie. “There were a lot of things that were flying under my radar at home that I was just too busy to pick up.” She decided to take a year off of work to spend time with her two boys, who are now 15 and 13. When she was ready to go back to work, she realized that an eight-to-five job wasn’t appealing. “The further away I got from the corporate grind, the further away I wanted to stay from it,” said Guthrie. She reached out to Bartolotta about the possibility of working with Moms Making Six Figures and was intrigued. After working with the organization for several years, Guthrie said SEE MOMS, B18

‘USS Indianapolis: The Legacy’ to make West Coast debut BY KRISTINA HOUCK After 15 years in the works, “USS Indianapolis: The Legacy” is finally making its West Coast debut during the second annual GI Film Festival San Diego. The film was directed and produced by San Diego’s Sara Vladic and Melanie Capacia Johnson. “This story should be shared with the world,” Johnson said. “USS Indianapolis: The Legacy” opens GI Film Festival San Diego Wednesday, Sept. 14, at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park. The Sept. 14-18 festival brings the stories of America’s military to life through film. The film tells the fate of the Navy’s 5th Fleet’s flagship in WWII, including delivering an atomic bomb and the devastating torpedo attack that killed three-fourths of the crew. “The story is so great,” Johnson said. “There’s this plethora of information that nobody’s really heard before.” Although the story has been told before, from Dan Kurzman’s 1990 book, “Fatal Voyage,” to the 1991 made-for-TV movie, “The Mission of the Shark,” the film gives a much more detailed account, Johnson said. The documentary draws on interviews with more than 100 survivors, including exclusive first-person accounts, rare WWII footage and a collection of

There are now only 23 survivors, ranging in age between 89 and 94, Johnson said. “We’ve got something out there that we know the survivors are very happy about and very thankful for,” Johnson said. “Getting their stamp of approval and their families’ stamp of approval is a huge honor.” Johnson, who currently lives in Oceanside, grew up in Rancho Peñasquitos, attended Mt. Carmel High School, and studied film at San Diego State University.

From news and documentary films to episodic and live events, she went on to work with MTV, VH1, Spike and other cable television networks. Johnson, who has also worked on a variety of independent feature films, is also the co-founder and managing partner of Tiny Horse, a Los Angeles-based company that creates custom teams for television shows, networks and brands. Johnson partnered with Vladic on the film about eight years ago. Vladic, who has been working on the film for 15 years, had been

drawn to the story of the USS Indianapolis since she was a young girl growing up in San Diego. “She has so much passion for the project,” Johnson said. “I’m blessed to be a part of this journey with her.” The documentary was completed last year. A book will be released next year. Vladic and Johnson are also working on a miniseries. “There were these great men that did these great things and scarified a lot in order to provide us with the freedom that we have,” Johnson

said. “We should not forget that.” “USS Indianapolis: The Legacy” premiered at the GI Film Festival in Washington, D.C. during Memorial Day weekend. Although tickets to the opening night screening of the film during GI Film Festival San Diego have already sold out, tickets are still available for an encore screening at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 18, at UltraStar Cinemas Mission Valley at Hazard Center.

Popular Muttropolis helps keep pets happy, healthy BY KAREN BILLING For 14 years Solana Beach’s Muttropolis, the sweet Cedros store with a front lawn and a white picket fence, has been the ultimate destination for people who love their pets, offering the best quality products, both fun and functional. In addition to all-natural foods and treats, Muttroplis offers a one-stop shop with doggy bow ties and bandanas, stylish bowls and feeders, grooming and training accessories, stylish dog beds that promise “luxurious slumber” and humorous plush toys, such as “Chewy Vuitton” purses and “Starbarks” cups. Owners Georgia and Steve Goldberg opened Muttropolis in 2002 due to their devotion as “pet parents” and aimed to celebrate that special bond between people and their pets. “There wasn’t much out there then that provided what we wanted, an all-encompassing pet store, so we decided to create it,” Georgia Goldberg said. Their goal was always to find the most top-quality products and over the years Georgia said they have really honed in on the market and have become sophisticated buyers, seeking out what is the most current

said. They offer the most creative and innovative toys and the best in apparel, leashes, bowls and beds. “The industry has grown so much since we first started,” Georgia said of the now multi-million dollar industry. “There’s more of an awareness in home goods, on how things like dog beds will look in the home. It’s more designer-driven.” Designer fabric is now used in leashes and collars, and more fashion is provided in dog carriers and clothing. “When we first started people laughed at T-shirts for dogs, now it’s one of our biggest categories,” Georgia said. The store also regularly hosts adoption and social events, such as its annual Halloween parade and costume contest to bring the community of dog owners together. The Goldbergs also have a Muttropolis in La Jolla, which Georgia said has become kind of like the “Cheers” spot of the dog community, with many locals coming daily to hang out.

or what they represent to watch collectors worldwide? I have to start by saying it’s even more than all of the above. A Patek Philippe client understands the true DNA of watchmaking and feels privileged owning it. They understand that the Patek Philippe in their collection will be cherished not only by themselves, but by their children, and their grandchildren. In 1998, a year after my son was born, I started collecting my first Patek Philippe: a Patek Calatrava followed by a Patek Annual Calendar. My personal passion then was the driving force to our current partnership with Patek Philippe. Now I am finally able to represent and present the brand to our incredibly loyal collectors and clients in Southern California.”

Event to benefit ArtReach Access to Art Program On Sunday, Sept. 25, from 4 to 7 p.m., ArtReach will host Party ARTy in a stunning Del Mar home. Now in year four, Party ARTy for ArtReach celebrates connecting students at schools throughout San Diego County with artists and visual arts instruction. Proceeds from the event benefit the ArtReach Access to Art Program that is the centerpiece of the ArtReach mission: to take artist-led free or very low cost visual arts education programs into K-6 schools that would otherwise have none. Since 2008, the ArtReach program has motivated over 15,000 students in 96 schools to create over 60,000 pieces of original work. ArtReach takes everything needed to each campus, including teaching artists, art materials, and standards-based lesson plans. No buses required. In 2015/16 alone, the ArtReach team worked in 14 schools spanning the county via the free/low cost program and in six more schools with fee-based work. Grants, sponsorships, individual donors and events like Party ARTy support this program that helps bring the joy of making original art to cash-strapped elementary schools that would otherwise have no visual arts instruction. “ArtReach helps fill the art gap in schools with limited resources across the county,” says Chris Austin Mittleman, Party ARTy co-chair, local artist and Solana Beach resident. “ArtReach teachers are practicing artists from the community. It is such a great way to help kids learn art making skills and to practice creative thinking – a skill that helps prepare young people for the workforce.” Chris and fellow co-chair and artist Becky Chamberlain (also a Solana Beach resident) are crafting an evening that,

though a fundraiser, will feel like a celebration of art and creativity with friends. Susan Taylor, director of External Affairs at Scripps Health and former NBC news anchor, will orchestrate the fun as Master of Ceremonies. Event guests are also in for an epicurean treat. Urban Solace makes its catering debut with Party ARTy. Executive Chef/Owner, Matt Gordon and part-owner Lisa Richards have planned a mouth-watering comfort food feast. Local artists provide the treats for the eyes.

Catherine Dzialo-Haller and Deron Cohen (both ArtReach teaching artists) will complete paintings on the spot. Meanwhile, sculptor Jon Koehler will shape metal into a work of beauty. All three pieces will be auctioned live, and three fortunate bidders will take home an original. Speaking of originals, twenty seascapes, created especially for Party ARTy by Jefferson Elementary fourth and fifth graders, will also find new homes with some lucky donors. In fact, brothers Captain and Carter from Jefferson Elementary will be on hand, creating paintings along with the featured artists.

The Boxsets, a local band, will set the musical mood. Each guest will receive a pair of Knockaround Sunglasses, and wine lovers will have the opportunity to win a bottle of fine wine at the toss of a ring. The silent auction features many temptations including a luxury sailboat day cruise, getaways to Rancho Mirage, Sonoma, and Disneyland, a Stag’s Leap wine flight, Paella party, and much more. ArtReach promises a delightful evening filled with art, artists, music, fine food and wine, and fun. To purchase tickets for Party ARTy for ArtReach visit artreachsandiego.org.

San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Edema and Vein Health—Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Fluid Retention What do your varicose veins and swollen ankles have in common? Both have to do with damaged veins, often caused by increased pressure within the damaged veins. Sometimes swelling is just that—you’ve eaten too much chips and salsa, or splurged on something fried. Other swelling is caused from too much standing (at a concert or theme park, or even a long day at work), or sitting (on a plane or long car ride). Even hot, humid weather can cause some

swelling of the legs and feet. This is edema, which can be benign or serious. Sometimes, blood plasma leaks out of damaged veins, seeping into the peripheral tissue. This fluid buildup that causes the swelling in the legs, feet, or hands is called peripheral edema. It’s also common among pregnant or menstruating women because of hormone changes. Generally, minor swelling will occur in the legs, ankles, and feet and will disappear overnight, absorbed by the body during sleep. Swelling that disappears within a day or two shouldn’t be a cause for alarm. Generally, the culprit is venous insufficiency or vein damage, when the valves in the veins, especially in the lower extremities, are so weak that blood can’t pump back up toward the heart, so instead, the blood pools in the damaged veins of the legs and feet, causing those unsightly varicose veins. But note, too, that varicose

veins themselves can cause additional swelling of the legs, ankles, and feet. What may surprise many people is that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen and ibuprofen can actually worsen edema, as can drugs prescribed for diabetes, hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and certain antidepressants and even blood pressure medications (calcium-channel blockers). However, in serious cases, the source of edema is kidney or liver disease, or even heart disease, which can cause fluid to enter the lungs and abdomen, if not elsewhere. If swelling persists after a day or two or even worsens, consult a doctor quickly, especially if the swelling is accompanied by a shortness of breath, as severe fluid buildup can be caused by heart failure or lifethreatening kidney, liver, or thyroid disease. Oftentimes in such cases, the swelling in the extremities occurs because the heart is too week to pump blood efficiently.

How to prevent edema? If you already have vein disease, that can’t be cured. Varicose veins can (and should) be treated with sclerotherapy, to prevent additional problems, but the underlying cause won’t go away. But varicose veins can be a symptom of something more serious, so it’s good to get regular checkups. As for the basic edema, if you have a clean bill of health and don’t suffer from heart failure, liver or kidney disease, then try cutting down on the sodium intake. Some doctors may prescribe a diuretic for more significant edema-related swelling, but be wary of overthe-counter homeopathic remedies, as those haven’t been fully vetted. If prescription medication for high blood pressure or an unrelated condition is the cause, consult with your doctor about trying a new prescription medication instead. Beyond that, try to avoid sitting or standing for long stretches at a time, and maintain good allaround physical health and mobility.

She is described as an affectionate and calm cat who enjoys other cats and spending time with her humans. She would love a cozy, calm home to spoil her for years to come!

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.
