RSF resident wins at the Saddlebred World Championship Horse Show. A6

BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe Association residents now have the opportunity to vote on a $13 million-$14 million investment to give the community one of the fastest and most reliable Internet networks not only in San Diego County but in the country. More importantly for some, it will simply provide the connectivity they

have been lacking, they will finally be able to reliably work from home, enable their children to complete their homework or simply binge watch a show on Netflix. Ballots were mailed Sept. 11 on RSF Connect, the Association’s project to bring 1-gigabit-per-second Internet service to all homeowners and businesses in the Covenant.

Contingent upon the advisory vote, the Association will construct and own the 65-70-mile-long fiber backbone and contract with an Internet service provider to operate the network. “Internet is a basic need, a basic utility, not a luxury,” the RSF Technology Committee has asserted. “We need the service to be

Marti Ritto resigns from RSF School board BY KAREN BILLING There is a vacancy on the Rancho Santa Fe School District Board of Trustees as Marti Ritto has resigned, effective Sept. 13. At the Sept. 7 meeting, RSF School Board President Todd Frank read Ritto’s letter of resignation to the board. “It has been my honor and privilege to serve the community for the last seven years as trustee on the school board and I consider it to be one of the most influential learning experiences in both my work career and personal life,” Ritto wrote. Both of Ritto’s daughters were “lifers” at R. Roger Rowe and her family has lived in

the Rancho Santa Fe community for over 15 years. “It has been a joy to be allowed to be a part of this extraordinary school,” Ritto said. In her resignation letter, Ritto explained that she has faced several health challenges after nine surgeries in the past seven years and will have another set of surgeries this next year. “It is nothing that can’t be overcome with time and healing and rehab but I do feel I wouldn’t be able to bring my full self to the position of trustee in the coming year and I feel deeply that the community SEE RITTO, A18

BY KAREN BILLING Contract negotiations continue between the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association and the Rancho Santa Fe School District, with another negotiating session set for Sept. 20. “I am, as always, hopeful that the faculty association and the district can come to a compromise,” said Mandy Valentine, fourth grade teacher and president of the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association. At the Sept. 7 RSF School board meeting, Valentine addressed the board during public comment, speaking on behalf of many R. Roger Rowe School teachers that

sat in the audience. Valentine said since she joined the district in 2005 she has experienced years with steady increases in salaries and benefits and more stagnant years during the recession. She said today the district is in a more positive financial situation as they are involved in their yearly salary and benefit negotiations. “What has remained the same throughout all of these years is the high level of education each and every one of the teachers provides to the children of Rancho Santa Fe,” Valentine said. “It is what is expected of us and

Happy Trails

RSF Association’s Trails and Recreation Committee completes Covenant trail map BY KAREN BILLING One of Rancho Santa Fe’s most enviable amenities is its trail system, an exclusive collection of paths through the community with everything from golf course views to peaceful and rural forested areas. The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Trails and Recreation committee recently completed the arduous task of

completing a comprehensive trail map for the community, approved by the RSF Association board at its Sept. 7 meeting. According to Trails and Recreation Chair Daniel Bunn, the last time the map was updated was nearly 12 years ago. The process has taken nearly five years with an exhaustive check of every easement in the 60-mile

system. The efforts were led by committee members Barbara Kruer and Lisa Bartlett, who has been riding the Ranch’s trails since she was 16 years old, when there were no fences and few houses — just miles of open space and fruit tree groves. The duo pored over maps as well as hit the SEE TRAILS, A18

NEWS Rancho SantaRSFFeSCHOOL School survey results

BY KAREN BILLING At the Sept. 7 Rancho Santa Fe School District board meeting, Superintendent David Jaffe shared the results of a parent survey given at the end of the school year. Of the 259 respondents, Jaffe said the results showed “people are pretty darn happy” but there are areas they can look to improve. The district scored highly with parents feeling their students were challenged by classes, that they felt safe in school, felt comfortable talking with teachers and that activities offered matched student interests — only .4 percent dislikes school immensely. Jaffe said the areas where the mean response was lower and where there was a

disparity on how people responded are the areas that they might want to take a look at, such as the areas of student discipline, character development and homework. The question regarding homework had the greatest disparity in responses, asking whether parents feel the amount of homework given is appropriate and whether parents clearly saw the value of homework. Parents also rated the quality of specific programs, with science rated the highest and Spanish and robotics rated the lowest. Jaffe said in response to the survey results they will examine discipline practices, particularly at recess and on the playground, and evaluate curricular

programs by identifying strengths and areas of growth. He said they would also encourage parent, staff and student participation in an analysis of homework policy and practice and that they can examine the district’s practices toward developing strong character. Board member Sarah Neal said she was glad that they did the survey as it shows that the school is interested in parent input and board member Scott Kahn said it will be helpful to have the results as a benchmark to see how they improve on an annual basis. “I hope the takeaway is that we want to know, and that we’re interested in working together to make this an even better place,” Jaffe said.

100 Wave Challenge supports ‘life-changing’ Boys to Men Mentoring BY KAREN BILLING The eighth annual Boys to Men 100 Wave Challenge will hit Mission Beach on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each surfer aims to raise $1,000 for Boys to Men and attempt to catch 100 waves in 10 hours — it’s a personal challenge for the wave warriors that gives a life-changing opportunity for at-risk boys in San Diego, helping them become the men they want to be. The roster of 200 surf ambassadors includes surf legends Shaun Tomson and Damien Hobgood, as well as dedicated community ambassadors such as Rancho Santa Fe’s Ernie Hahn, the general manager of the Valley View Casino Center. Boys to Men believes that one of the most reliable predictors of a young man’s success is answering the question, “Does he have a man in his life to look up to?” In San Diego County alone, there are 49,937 boys growing up in homes without fathers. A boy without a dad in his life is 20 times more likely to end up in prison, 10 times more likely to abuse drugs and nine times more likely to drop out of high school. Boys to Men mentors go into San Diego schools and offer boys a community of male role models —the mentors tell the truth about their struggles as men, praise boys

COURTESY

Boys to Men Mentoring will hold its largest fundraiser, the 100 Wave Challenge, on Sept. 23 in Mission Beach. for their gifts, support them when they screw up and teach them about accountability and integrity. Co-founder Joe Sigurdson said he believes it is a proven model for real change as school records show boys who participated improved their GPA by an average of 27 percent and discipline incidents declined by 85 percent. “A trust is established and it creates a safe place for the boys to start to open up and start talking about the choices they’re making right now,” Sigurdson said. “I love it. It’s so special to see these guys

take risks and share their hearts and what they are willing to do to be the man they want to be. We never tell them what to do, they tell us what they are willing to do and our job is to hold them accountable and help.” “This is a miracle. We’re not the solution but we certainly are a solution.” Sigurdson developed the idea for Boys to Men in 1996 with co-founder Craig McClain and his father Herb. It started out as a three-day experiential weekend for boys and, about eight years ago,

Boys to Men expanded the programs into the public school system, beginning in Spring Valley. “Those boys responded to the missing male nutrient in their diet,” Sigurdson said. “No boy ever dreams of joining a gang, getting hooked on drugs or going to prison. Behind the macho facade of even the toughest gang member is a good boy who just needs a man to care about him.” Eight years later Boys to Men is in 31 schools, with 42 circles gathering every week, reaching 800 at-risk boys, 85 percent of whom are fatherless. With a group facilitator and mentors in the circle, the boys are able to share anger, sadness and confusion they feel from growing up without a good man in their life. The mentors help create a roadmap to the men that the boys want to be. The men are honest in the circle, talking about the choices they made and consequences suffered. “The boys are able to unburden themselves, lighten their load and feel better. And when they feel better they do better. It’s quite a phenomenon,” Sigurdson said. “The more at-risk the boys are, the hungrier they are for this program. They feel it and trust it.” The first 100 Wave Challenge was held in 2010 and 50 surfers helped to raise $73,000. Last year, the event had grown to 168 surf ambassadors,

Shaun Tomson catches a wave in a past 100 Wave Challenge. bringing in $373,000. This year they are hoping to raise $425,000. Sigurdson said without the 100 Wave Challenge as the leading fundraising tool, Boys to Men mentoring would not have been able to grow as it has — the challenge now accounts for 68 percent of Boys to Men’s annual budget. This year is one of the largest groups of Surf Ambassadors yet, with 200 signed up. One the 100 Wave Challenge’s most enthusiastic surf ambassadors is Ernie Hahn.

RSF resident wins at the Saddlebred World Championship Horse Show Last month, Rancho Santa Fe resident Victoria Walz went undefeated at the prestigious World’s Championship Horse Show for American Saddlebred Horses and Riders held in Louisville, Kentucky. This horse show crowns World Champion Saddlebreds in various performance and equitation divisions. Walz won World Championships not only in a performance division but also in the Saddle Seat equitation division. Walz, riding her American Saddlebred horse, “Jett Rink,” won the 3-Gaited Show Pleasure World Grand Championship and qualifier for Riders 14 -17 years of age. She had a great ride on “Rufus” and out-showed the other riders in this class to win the Tricolor World Championship ribbon and Garland of Roses. Walz also took home the Tricolor Championship ribbon and Rose Garland in the Saddle Seat Equitation division. She is the first rider from California to ever win the Saddle Seat Equitation World Grand Championship for Riders 14 – 17. Her equitation pattern was flawless and her rail work was exceptional. She also won the Saddle Seat Equitation World Championship for 17-year-old riders. Walz is the 18-year-old daughter of Roberto and Minerva Walz from Rancho Santa Fe. She recently graduated from The Grauer School in Encinitas. This fall, Walz is concentrating on the upcoming Morgan World Championships as well as the Saddle Seat Medal Finals. Walz’s Saddle Seat Equitation Morgan, “King Lehr’s Friar Tuck,” is trained at Eric Antman’s and Austin Eversman’s Majestic Farms, which is located in San Marcos. She is instructed at

ROMP Gala benefits Ronald McDonald House charities of San Diego Three RSF leaders recognized for guiding Sept. 30 island-inspired gala Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego’s ROMP Aloha gala brings together philanthropists for a Polynesian-inspired evening at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar on Sept. 30 to raise funds for a serious cause – keeping families close to one another and the care they need during a child’s medical crisis. San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House provides a range of services – including lodging, meals and emotional support – to families with a critically ill or injured child in a local hospital, regardless of their ability to pay. Families come from within San Diego County and from far-away places seeking care from this region’s premier pediatric medical facilities. On average, Pacific Islander families occupy 10 percent of San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House overnight suites. While these families are far from home, they receive the care, support and comfort from the Ronald McDonald House during their time of need. ROMP Aloha will raise funds to support these families and all 15,000 family members who use the charity’s services annually, because ‘ohana (family) is everything when caring for a hospitalized child. “Our signature ROMP gala was founded to bring the Ronald McDonald House, our supporters and the families we serve together for an enjoyable evening that benefits a very serious and important cause,” said Chuck Day, president and CEO, Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. “ROMP Aloha will bring us together for a great party as we rally to support ‘ohana.”

Osher gives learning opportunities at Moms & Tots Open House at UCSD campus to people 50 and older Rancho Santa Fe Community Center Sept. 27

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Carol Roberts is preparing for her first day of school. This quarter, she'll take classes in a range of subjects, from science to politics, at UC San Diego in La Jolla. But Roberts isn't the typical college student. She's 79. The Solana Beach woman will take part in classes at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, designed for people 50 and over on the UC campus, beginning Oct. 2. There are no tests or grades, and there's very little homework, she said. Most days are filled with lectures, talks with experts and field trips. The professors are all accredited. "This is purely for the love of learning," noted Roberts, a former tourism agent. "It's so amazing the breadth of everything that you can learn. You can never say there's nothing for you to learn. That really intrigued me." Osher — which is run by its volunteers and students, referred to by the institute as members — will hold an open house Sept. 23 at 10 a.m. on the UC San Diego campus, 9600 North Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla, for people who might be interested in enrolling for the upcoming semester. Joining the institute costs an annual fee of $260 or $165 quarterly. Students are not limited to the number of classes they may take at one time. Valerie Chereskin, 63, of Encinitas, said attending the classes with her husband has given the couple interesting things to talk about and fun ways to spend their time now that they're retired. "We've always been interested in and curious about learning new things," said the retired public relations consultant. "The quality of the lectures and speakers has just been so good." After lectures about a topic, experts — such as Nobel Peace Prize recipients and entrepreneurs — are available to answer questions from the students. Roberts, who originally studied for a profession in the

"When you're in college, you're focused on a program for your curriculum, but you don't have time for all these extra things," she said. "That's what I go for is the things I've never studied before or never had an interest in before." Roberts, who spearheads the field trip efforts, said she believes these classes lead their students through "healthy aging." "I want to keep my mind active, and I don't want to sit at home not doing anything," she said. "I find that the stimulation of the people I meet is incredible."

OUR READERS WRITE Vote ‘Yes’ for installation of fiber optics, and here is why We are at a crossroads and it is vital Rancho Santa Fe moves forward with the installation of fiber optics. The benefits to all would be those of convenience, speed, safety, and a guarantee into the future. Increased property values: All residents will enjoy lightning-fast Internet connection. This is essential to residents today as we all run businesses, home life, and school work via the Internet. Prospective buyers are demanding fast Internet and prefer fiber over the sheer number of cell towers it would require to cover our topography with adequate wireless saturation. Historic preservation: Our Covenant roads are part of the historic cultural landscape designation that RSF was awarded in 2004. It is important that cellular sites from multiple telecom carriers, each with electrical boxes, not rob us of our unique character. Fiber optics is underground and out of sight. Hooking up to fiber is your choice: Fiber optic system does not use electromagnetic fields (EMF), which some residents prefer to avoid. Fiber gives you options. Once the fiber is outside your driveway you decide how, when and if you wish to hook up. It is your choice. You may connect to fiber via a wired or wireless connection. Future-proof: A big advantage to fiber over wireless, satellites, power lines, or upgraded cable lines is that it is “future-proof.” The high signal bandwidth of optical fibers provides significantly greater information-carrying capacity. Each generation of wireless becomes obsolete with surprising speed. It is estimated the 5G cell towers being installed every other home in areas like ours will be obsolete in three years, leaving towers with

electric boxes the size of refrigerators a blight on our landscape. What will our historic community look like with these towers at the base of almost every driveway because 5G millimeter waves travel such a short distance, they require closely spaced towers. In contrast, fiber optics has a limitless capability and thus remains current and discrete. Safe and secure: Fiber is more private and less likely to be hacked. It is safer as fiber does not emit sparks or cause short circuits, reducing worries of fires or weather interruptions. Telecommunications equipment is known to invite lightning strikes which can trigger fires. 5G towers now use back-up generators with diesel fuel. Telecom caps their fire coverage at $50,000 per incident. We all know what a fire in Rancho Santa Fe could do to devastate this entire area, given the eucalyptus trees that are both a blessing and, with the risk of fire, a curse. Let’s minimize our risk and maximize our benefit. Vote “Yes” today! It is our future. Holly Manion

Because fiber is good for you, that’s why This week you are being asked to start voting on fiber optics for the Ranch, and I strongly urge you to vote “Yes.” Why? Others can tell you about the speed and limitless capabilities of fiber optics. I am going to share what I know something about, and that is the health risks inherent in trying to bring high-speed Internet to every corner of the Ranch via wireless. The health risks to wireless radiation are both real and deeply concerning. In May 2016 the National Toxicology Program, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, released partial results of a $25,000,000 study on laboratory animals which showed a link between RF (wireless) radiation and two types of cancer, prompting the American Cancer Society’s chief medical officer to note that the results “mark a

irst, the happy news. At the Sept. 14 meeting of the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board of Education, trustees are being presented with a resolution recommended for approval by the district to support Senate bill 328, which mandates that school start times for middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. The district deserves major credit for coming out in support of this sensible measure. If the bill passes both houses and is signed into law by the governor, the new start times would take effect July

1, 2020. Zero periods would still be allowed, for those few teenage early-birds. According to the backup material in the board packet, the district’s middle schools would be minimally affected, “as all currently start first period between 8:15 and 8:30.” The board packet states that the district’s high schools start between 7:40 and 8 a.m. If the bill passes, “high school end times would fall between 3:30 and 3:50.” Later start times will most heavily affect after-school sports programs. As I’ve pointed out before,

paradigm shift in our understanding of radiation and cancer risk.’’ The NTP study also found DNA breakage in brain cells, confirming multiple studies dating back to 1994. The NTP study follows the 2011 classification by IARC, the World Health Organization’s cancer committee, of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. The vote by the IARC committee made up of esteemed scientists from around the world was not even close. It was 29 to 1 to grant a 2b classification. That puts wireless radiation in the same category as DDT. And it’s not just cell phones. This IARC decision places everything on the RF - EMF spectrum in the 2b category. That includes cell towers, and these are what you need in abundance to reach every home with wireless Internet. With fiber, you can have your cake and eat it, too. You can be connected with lightning speed, and you can do so without risk to your neurological and immunological health. You hear many people tied to the old physics argument that cell phones and cell towers are safe and do not cause cancer because it takes heat to break DNA. No, that is not true. The NTP study did not use levels high enough to heat, yet they found brain and heart cancer in laboratory animals. The physics model does not apply to biology which is far more complex and nonlinear than any physics model ever can be. For your sake and the community’s, become informed about the science which you can start reviewing at www.bioinitiative.org – and www.emf-portal.org/en. Thousands of studies are being ignored at this planet’s peril, and more germane to RSF, at this community’s peril. For the sake of all, please vote “Yes” on fiber optics. Susan Foster Medical Writer, U.S. Adviser, Radiation Research Trust (UK), Honorary Firefighter, SDFD

mandating this change statewide is the only way after-school athletics programs will adjust sports schedules accordingly. The union position, which opposes SB 328, is that this decision should be made locally and not imposed by Sacramento. But it won’t work unless all school districts comply. If random individual districts adopt this policy, those student athletes will suffer the consequences of having to miss their last period classes for athletic obligations because sports schedules will not change. This measure only works if it applies to all California public schools. Later school start times have been proven in study after study to improve attendance, alertness, academic performance, moods and overall well-being. And now new evidence suggests that later start times could save society oodles of money. A timely report by the RAND Corp. released a few weeks ago states that

“shifting school start times could contribute $83 billion to the U.S. economy within a decade.” Estimates show that one extra hour of sleep a night can increase the probability of high school graduation rates by 13.3 percent and college attendance by 9.6 percent. “These positive effects impact the jobs that adolescents are able to obtain in the future and, in turn, have a direct effect on how much a particular person contributes toward the economy in future financial earnings.” The gains, RAND says, “would be realized through the higher academic and professional performance of students, and reduced car crashes among adolescents.” Studies over more than a decade have shown that teens suffer from shifting sleep patterns that cause many unable to fall asleep until late at night. The UCLA Sleep Center states that when puberty hits, a natural shift SEE SUTTON, A16

OUR READERS WRITE CONT. RSF is a great community I was impressed by Jim Boon’s Letter to the Editor last month! It takes a good man to admit so publicly that he may have, in retrospect, made some mistakes, and to apologize to an entire community. Well done, sir. My wife, Gabriela, and I will be leaving Rancho Santa Fe at the end of the month. We have enjoyed living in this incredibly beautiful community for the last three years very much, and appreciate all the kindness and support our friends, neighbors and colleagues have shown us throughout. Thank you! I am proud of the many positive things the board, volunteers and staff accomplished as a team while I was the RSF Association Manager. That said, I am also impressed with the current board and staff team, and have always been impressed in many ways with all prior board and staff members and their positive efforts. This is a great community, and it has been made so over many decades of positive leadership by literally hundreds of passionate and community-oriented individuals! Kudos, all! If there is one constant truth that I have learned during my time in Rancho Santa Fe, it’s that everyone here loves this special place and wants to do their best to make it better. Good luck to all in continuing to pull together to do so going forward! Bill Overton

Surfing Madonna run aims to become world record-holder November beach race seeks to gain ‘Largest Race on Sand’ status BY BARBARA HENRY This year’s Surfing Madonna Beach Run could be one for the record books. Organizers are hoping their Nov. 5 event on Moonlight Beach in Encinitas will win gold medal status as the world’s “Largest Race on Sand” and they’ve invited judges from Guinness World Records to observe the proceedings. “It does add to our cache to be able to tell runners about (the record-setting goal),” Wil Fisher, development director of the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, said as he described why his organization was seeking world recognition. Word’s already started to percolate out through the running community about what they’re hoping to achieve and they’ve had a 30 percent increase in early signup registrations compared to last year, Fisher said. Last year’s event attracted about 3,800 runners and this year’s goal is 5,000. “We’ve already had one runner who has

Even if they don’t achieve their goal of getting 5,000 people to participate in this year’s event, they’re still likely to obtain

San Diegan John Lynch back in game as 49ers G.M. BY KEVIN ACEE If you’re looking for a team to root for, a guy to root for, a reason to think the NFL is a place where good people do good things, it has become a little easier to want the San Francisco 49ers to stop being awful. A San Diegan — a fellow parishioner of Philip Rivers, for good measure — is helping run that historic franchise now. He even did a “commute” of sorts, between here and there, though not too much anymore and not for very much longer. John Lynch, of Torrey Pines High before Stanford and then nine Pro Bowls with the Buccaneers and Broncos, is in his first year as an NFL general manager. And before we get to the why and how of this new vocation, let’s acknowledge that this is a win for the good guys. “In football, if you’re in it for a while, you meet a lot of guys you watched growing up,” said 49ers left tackle Joe Staley, an 11-year veteran. “There is sort of an awe moment. ‘Oh my God. I’m doing a thing with Joe Montana or whoever.’ ‘Holy Hell, Jerry Rice and Steve Young.’ It’s just different players you’ve watched as you grow up. You have that when you meet John Lynch the first time. With him it stays, because of how impressive he is as a human being. He keeps you in that. “The thing with him is you’re in awe of him at first because he’s John Lynch the football player. Then you stay in awe of him because of John Lynch the human being.” Will candor and decency and humility make Lynch a good general manager, allowing he and new head coach Kyle Shanahan to restore a crumbled dynasty? Not necessarily, though saying what you mean and meaning what you say can’t hurt. That’s important to Lynch, who has never been anything but honest about missing the fix being part of a football team provides — the camaraderie, the structure, the common

He's been a Super Bowl Champion, an NFL commentator and now the general manager of the 49ers. Torrey Pines High alum John Lynch has found success in the NFL in a number of ways. goal. He spoke eloquently about it after his friend Junior Seau’s suicide, saying the NFL needed to provide more help for retired players moving on from a game that consumes them. “I never want people to misconstrue … I had a blast doing TV,” Lynch said. “I felt a tremendous connection to the game that I was around it all the time. But the one thing I realized is you’re not truly invested. Every game is a win. You fist bump (broadcast partner) Kevin Burkhardt and say, ‘Hey, we kicked ass today.’ But there is no win or loss. I think what I came to know is as good as the wins are, that agony of defeat in a sick way is enticing as well — feeling the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. “We haven’t even played a game yet, but I’ve already experienced those. You’re invested in it. Every day, when a guy gets hurt you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, what are we going to do?’ Then you regroup. ‘OK, let’s focus on what we can control.’ It reminds you very much what is so compelling about this game.”

He’s simply the kind of guy who knows what he wants and goes after it. Moving on doesn’t mean what was left behind was bad, just that the next calling beckons. When the NFL retired Lynch in 2008 — after 15 seasons, at age 37 — he was in a broadcast booth as a commentator for Fox before that season was out. He was on track to become Fox’s No.1 color analyst sooner than later, but then he got to know Shanahan and got talking to him and talking some more. And in a January conversation with the man who was at the time readying for the Super Bowl as the Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator and also readying to take over in San Francisco, Lynch essentially offered himself the G.M. job. “Kyle said, ‘I can’t find someone I really am excited to work with,’ “ Lynch said. “We hung up a little while later. I thought about it for a minute. I called him back and said, ‘What about me?’ ” The news that Lynch would be joining Shanahan took the NFL by surprise. But once the shock subsided, there was a realization this wasn’t really that shocking. Lynch was a quarterback at Stanford before he became a safety, which is like being the quarterback of a defense. He was a ferocious hitter as a player but also revered as a heady one. As an analyst, the work he did not just relying on his own knowledge as a longtime player but learning all he could about every team was plainly evident. And as John Elway’s friend, Lynch had a role model and mentor. Almost as soon as Elway took over as the Broncos’ general manager, he started bringing in Lynch, then living in Denver, to watch film. Elway wanted to know what Lynch saw, and Lynch would certainly pick Elway’s brain. Sure, they talked about how the behind-the-curtain look could help Lynch if

and when he ever wanted to get into the personnel business. Said Lynch: “I thought at that time it would be if someone like John said, ‘I’m going to step into ownership and I want you to be (general manager).’ ” As Fox executives worked with Lynch on a new contract, they brought up rumblings about his plans, mainly due to his relationship with Elway. “I did say, ‘If the opportunity arose I would look at it,’ ” Lynch said. “But I never thought it was inevitable it was going to happen. This thing came out of the blue.” So here he is, general manager of one of the NFL’s winningest franchises, the team that crushed the Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX after the 1994 season. That was the 49ers’ last Super Bowl title. They did go to Super Bowl XLVII. But they’ve had four coaches in the four seasons since. They’re a mess. Lynch and Shanahan were given six-year contracts to stem the turnover and restore excellence. Lynch’s family will join him after the first semester of the kids’ school. They’ll fly up to home games in the meantime. He flew home once a week during training camp. “We always spent time in San Diego, but Denver was our home until about 3½ years ago,” Lynch said. “… San Diego was really starting to feel like home again. Our kids had really settled in. Once I got excited on it, I had to ask, ‘Do I really want to do this to my family?’ We do things a as family. We go together.” The rest of us can be glad they made this decision together, not just for the hope that nice guys can finish first but also providing San Diego with another possible connection to a league some here are finding it difficult to feel good about. — Kevin Acee is a columnist for The San Diego Union-Tribune

occurs in a teen’s circadian rhythms, which is called “sleep phase delay.” So going to bed earlier does not address the problem. Teens just can’t fall asleep at an early hour. In 2014, the American Academy of Pediatrics endorsed later start times for schools serving teens, citing early start times as a contributor to chronic sleep deprivation which can lead to increased auto accidents, poor academic performance, tardiness, absenteeism and depression. Congratulations to San Dieguito for leading the way and supporting a much-needed schedule change for weary adolescents. Here’s hoping trustees support this resolution unanimously, and that the bill passes. Less happy news The board agenda for Sept. 14 includes the unaudited actuals for the 2016-2017 school year, which closed June 30. It shows revenue of $135.2 million and expenditures of $138 million, leaving a deficit of $2.85 million. Despite statements at the beginning of the school year from trustees Joyce Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer that ending balances always turn out rosy despite pessimistic early projections, this year the district was unable to eliminate its deficit. In a June email, SDUHSD superintendent Eric Dill said it’s unknown until July how big the deficit will be, “but this time the district is certain to have one.” “I’m not expecting a surplus this year,” he wrote. On the positive side, the projected deficit in March was a whopping $9.2 million, which by May was revised to a still-whopping $8.5 million. So the district managed to close that gap considerably, although not fully. I sound like a broken record, but the staggering 12.5 percent salary raise given to all district employees last year that amounts to an annual expenditure of $6.5 million once again comes to mind. Confusing news A board packet item titled “High School Foundation Update” attempts to clarify the role the four high school foundations play in funding programs and services that the district does not, cannot, or refuses to pay for. The district’s foundations have been under attack recently after complaints have surfaced of pay-to-play for athletics and wording in donation pleas that imply a fee to join teams or programs that by law must be offered free of charge. Foundation over-reach will be considered when the board decides at the Sept. 14 meeting whether to approve or deny a Memorandum of Understanding for a donation by an anonymous donor who gave $400,000 to the Torrey Pines High School Foundation to build baseball batting cages at the school. In exchange for the donation, the foundation agreed to allow this person use of the cages and the school’s fields for private non-profit youth teams of his choosing, after receiving clearance from the foundation. One clause in the MOU states, “The foundation recognizes the contribution of [donor] and applies the funds to the foundation in advance of facility use charges non-profit youth teams would otherwise incur in its use of Torrey Pines High School (TPHS) grounds.” So in essence the district (i.e., a public agency) in this case gives up its right to income and allows the foundations to profit from the use of public property. In the agreement, the donor was granted the

use of the TPHS baseball field facilities at no charge until Aug. 31, 2019. The MOU does state that school use takes precedence. This MOU, which as of press time has not been released to the public, was drawn up and signed in May 2015, but without school board approval as required by board policy. Now it comes before the board. Has the district really given its high school foundations the right to offer at no charge public facilities to major donors? Who decides which donors or causes are worthy? Consider these possible scenarios if this floodgate opens: • A donor who wants to fund a new theater arts center and asks to use it for their own purposes during “off” time. • A donor who funds a new weight room and in exchange for the money is given the right to bring in students for personal training purposes. • A wealthy scientist who funds a new science lab for high school students but asks that the lab be made available for private purposes when not in use by students. When most people donate to a non-profit, they donate because they are generous and care about the cause – and they expect nothing in return, except a tax write-off. Arm’s-length news Recently disclosed emails show that Dill as superintendent was heavily involved in foundation activity, despite his claims for years that the district and foundations operate at arm’s length. The latest instance of this was the foundations’ coordinated written response to the article in the San Diego Union-Tribune a few months ago about allegations of pay-to-play for TPHS baseball. Emails uncovered through a public records request by a private citizen show that Dill and district consultant Phyllis Quan worked closely with high school foundation directors to coordinate a response to the story. Quan has been a consultant for the district for many years, her job is to work with the high school foundations. She suddenly resigned her contract a month ago after the board chose to examine an invoice of hers more closely. That invoice for $1,300 is now on the agenda for Sept. 14. Interesting news Another interesting item up for discussion on Sept. 14 concerns sub-dividing the district into five separate areas for school board elections. Many school districts have been threatened with violations of the California Voting Rights Act which “was enacted to ensure that at-large elections do not unfairly discriminate against protected classes of voters who may reside in the agency’s boundaries,” according to the board report. Several North County school districts – including Carlsbad, Oceanside and San Marcos – are in the process of making the change, which would identify five distinct areas within the district. Each of the areas would elect its own board member, who would not run district-wide. The purpose is to give under-represented citizens a voice. This shift speaks to the need for more social justice in government. People who live in poorer neighborhoods who don’t have the means to campaign or run district-wide would benefit. On the flip side, the danger is that sub-district board members will be less likely to support the needs of the district as a whole, being beholden only to their individual constituents. This will be interesting to watch. Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - SEPTEMBER 14, 2017 - PAGE A17

RSF accountant admits to hiding yacht, silver in bankruptcy case, evading $6M in taxes BY KRISTINA DAVIS An accountant and disbarred San Diego attorney who once claimed to lead one of the nation’s most prestigious estate and tax planning law firms has pleaded guilty to hiding $1.5 million in assets from creditors in his bankruptcy case and evading $6 million in taxes. J. Douglass Jennings Jr., who sometimes went by “Uncle Doug,” pleaded guilty in San Diego federal court on Monday, Sept. 11, to bankruptcy fraud and tax evasion, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. The 72-year-old Rancho Santa Fe man was disbarred last year due to misconduct involving an elderly client who inherited $3 million. According to the State Bar, Jennings convinced the client to invest in certain properties and did not inform him that Jennings and his wife would acquire the properties. The client also made unsecured loans to a fund that Jennings owned,

but the client was not informed of the full terms. Similar loans were made to a real estate investment company owned by Jennings and his wife, the bar said. The entities defaulted on the loans and Jennings declared personal bankruptcy. Jennings’ malpractice insurer repaid the client about $1.7 million. “Jennings showed a continuing lack of remorse or insight into the misconduct that significantly harmed his client,” the State Bar said. The criminal charges stem from Jennings’ handling of the bankruptcy case beginning in 2010, in which he concealed assets: a stock interest in a real-estate deal worth $1 million; a 53-foot luxury yacht named “Sea Eagle” worth $150,000; and antique silver worth $165,000, prosecutors said. He also owed the Internal Revenue Service SEE ACCOUNTANT, A18

FROM WAVE CHALLENGE, A4

Hahn is member of the executive board and he transformed his 50th birthday celebration this year into the CaddyHack Golf Tournament at Morgan Run on Aug. 7, raising $113,000 for the cause. A year ago Hahn did his first 100 Wave Challenge – raising $18,000. A surfer for 38 years who often hits the beach before work, Hahn was an overachiever and caught 101 waves in four and a half hours. “Raising money is important but it’s just as important to introduce this charity to more and more people in San Diego that want to open up their hearts and help out,” said Hahn. “These kids are in the toughest kinds of situations and this program changes their lives. I couldn’t be more proud to be involved. My personal goal is to keep working until I get it into every San Diego school that wants to have it.” Currently 25 San Diego County schools are on the waiting list for a Boys to Men program. Knowing what an impact the program can have immediately makes the men’s mission more imperative. “We know that all it takes to change a boy’s life is a few good men, who show up and care,” Sigurdson said. “Every boy deserves this.” To learn more about Boys to Men and the 100 Wave Challenge, visit boystomen.org.

on Black’s Beach. Hahn was instantly moved by the important mission of Boys to Men. “Ernie Hahn has been a game changer,” said Sigurdson, who can’t say enough about Hahn’s support. Two years ago, Hahn partnered with the Century Club on a fundraiser for Boys to Men called the One Wave Challenge, an effort to set the record for the most surfers on one wave at the same time — the Guinness World Record is 113. The first year they got 97 surfers up on one wave for five seconds, bringing in $20,000. The second year One Wave Challenge in 2016 was even bigger and better — they had 130 surfers in the water and got 102 people up on one wave, raising $100,000 for Boys to Men. “The most important part was it exposed more people to what Boys to Men is and the incredible mentors they have that change young men’s lives and hold them accountable and help them to be who they want to be,” Hahn said. “It’s very, very powerful.” Hahn has become committed to using his time, resources and contacts to give back to his community in a more impactful way through Boys to Men. The organization is now one of the beneficiaries of the Rolf Benirschke Legacy Golf Invitational, which

FROM TEACHERS, A1 we will continually give due to our upmost professionalism.” Valentine said after the “lengthy” contract discussions of 2015-16, Rancho Santa Fe still falls “drastically” behind neighboring districts such as Del Mar Union School District, Solana Beach School District and San Dieguito Union High School District in terms of the district’s contribution to cover health benefits. “San Dieguito has made the promise to their teachers that they will maintain the highest salaries in the county,” Valentine said. “Their goal is to attain and retain the highest level of educators and compensate them respectively. What is the goal of our district?” Valentine said that she understands that negotiations are a process of give and take but she would like to see more of an environment of collaboration and respect in the district’s process. Superintendent David Jaffe cannot comment on negotiations.

“The district continues to use an attorney who negotiates in a manner and style that in no way reflects any attempt to cooperate or compromise,” Valentine said. “In addition, our proposals to the terms and conditions of the contract are continually met with resistance or any discussion of their merit. The most significant of these is renewing the enrollment of the children of teachers.” As part of ongoing negotiations with the district, the faculty association has proposed adding language to their contracts allowing teachers’ children to be enrolled. Previously teachers’ children were allowed to be enrolled per Board Policy 4111. That policy was amended at the end of the school year in 2016, limiting the enrollment to only teachers’ children previously enrolled and their siblings. Teachers have expressed being disappointed and “heartbroken” by that decision and would like the opportunity for their children to attend R. Roger Rowe School.

How to WRECK Your Retirement by overlooking possibility of need for Long Term Health Care LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faces by retirees. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room that costs in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91%.

FROM RACE, A15 Fisher said. Surfing Madonna officials sought the category’s creation by completing an application process with Guinness World Records, and they’ve received a detailed list of requirements they’ll need to fulfill in order to win their coveted title. Among other things, the Guinness document states that the race must: • Cover a distance of at least 100 meters • Require that all runners start at the same time and wear race number identification • Occur only on sand that is at least 10 centimeters deep • Be timed by at least two experienced timekeepers with stopwatches that are accurate to a hundredth of a second. • Provide one “steward,” or

independent race observer, for every 50 race participants. Easily the toughest requirement is going to be the stewards one, Fisher said. These event observers can’t be people affiliated with the race organization and they can’t be participating runners, so organizers are avidly seeking volunteers for the job. Now in its fifth year, the Surfing Madonna Beach Run is named after the famed Surfing Madonna mosaic art piece along Encinitas Boulevard just west of the railroad tracks. The run is a fundraiser for the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, a nonprofit ocean advocacy organization that provides grant money for conservation projects and hosts surfing camps for children with disabilities, among other things. To register for the beach run, visit surfingmadonna.org

FROM INTERNET, A1 return the ballots. “Thousands of hours have gone into this project, it’s really a milestone for this community,” said RSF Association President Fred Wasserman, noting that the first fiber optic committee was formed back in 2011. “It’s taken us six years to get to this point. Members should feel comfortable that this project has gotten serious and considerable review.” At its Sept. 7 meeting, RSF Association board members passed a resolution stating that they recommend members of the community “cast a yes vote to approve the project.” “I hope that Association members will vote positively for it because it’s probably the most important thing to ever happen in the Association in terms of its future,” Wasserman said. Wasserman said there are members of the community with no connectivity at all, some homes at the end of Zumaque have only two megabit service and others have spent nearly $50,000 to bring a connection to their homes. “This puts everyone on a level playing field,” Wasserman said. If approved, the project could start in the first quarter of 2018, with an 18-24-month build timeline. As segments of the network are completed, service may become available prior to the completion of all construction. RSF Association Manager Bob Hall said that the engineers will decide which part of the Ranch will be completed first, although prioritization will be given to county roads with planned street improvements. The voters’ package sent out on Sept.

FROM ACCOUNTANT, A17 about $2.85 million for 2005 to 2009. He at first agreed to pay the amount, as well as a civil penalty of $2 million and $1 million in interest. But he then worked to evade the payment through the concealment of assets in his bankruptcy case, prosecutors said. As a result of his plea agreement he admitted that a criminal judgment of nearly $6 million should be entered against him. Last month, Jennings’ wife, Peggy, 72, pleaded guilty in a related but separate case, admitting to forging her mother’s signature on loan documents, submitting false documents to a bank, and depositing money into her mother’s account to make it appear as though she had a large income. Her actions caused the bank to lose about $226,000. She has agreed to pay about $145,000 restitution to the bank and a $50,000 fine. Jennings made headlines in 1985 after he entered into another business transaction, a laundromat, with a client and was ordered to pay $1.1 million in a legal malpractice lawsuit. – Kristina Davis is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

11 includes the ballot as well as a detailed Voters’ Guide, with descriptions of the RSF Connect process to date, the technology, cost, financing and construction details. A town hall meeting will also be held on Sept. 14 at 5 p.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. RSF resident Suzy Schaeffer complimented RSF Connect as being a better deal for the community than Hotwire’s fiber-to-home network proposal in 2016. “This project is well thought-out and planned and, hopefully, well-received,” Schaeffer said. While the RSF Association will construct and own the network, the RSF Association does not plan to become service providers. If the project is approved, the RSF Association will select an Internet service provider (ISP) that will serve the customers of RSF Connect in a central office in Rancho Santa Fe. The contract with the ISP will contain performance standards for network reliability, speed and customer service response times. After taking into account the opinions of the RSF Golf Club Board of Governors and the Trails Committee, the Technology Committee recommended that the project’s central office be built on the unpaved upper golf course parking lot. The RSF Association board approved an architectural contract for the central office design at its Sept. 7 meeting and the office project will go through the Covenant Design Review Committee process. According to RSF Association Treasurer Janet Danola, the cost of the project is estimated at $13 million -$14 million, which includes construction, engineering and legal costs. The RSF

FROM RITTO, A1 deserves someone who can give 100 percent to the position,” Ritto wrote.

FROM TRAILS, A2 trails on horseback, developing ideas for potential upgrades and further encroachment permits. Committee member Rochelle Putnam was enlisted to “bring the project home” and at the Sept. 7 meeting, she thanked the numerous committee members who worked on the effort over many years. “Rancho Santa Fe has 60 miles of trails cobbled together with a number of different types of easements,” Putnam said. The different types of trails in the Covenant include: Association-owned “hub” trails like those around the golf course; permanent easement trails that have been obtained by the Association since the 1950s; encroachment permits, those mostly along the county-owned roadside where the Covenant has requested to maintain the trails; revocable easement trails that have been dedicated by owners but can be rescinded by a subsequent property owner; and trails in use, which means they aren’t permanent or revocable easements but have “graciously” been made available to users by homeowners. Putnam said the committee members’ task was to check all of the various easement documents, confirming that the trail was accurate on the map and in some cases making adjustments to the actual trail if it was inaccurate. Throughout the process, the committee was also able to secure new encroachment permits from property owners for trails on Calzada del Bozque, Zumaque and El Montevideo and Via de Fortuna. The updated trail map will be distributed to Association members and posted online. “This is a phenomenal job,” said RSF Association President Fred Wasserman. “I think Association members can be very appreciative of your efforts.” Rancho Santa Fe Association’s private trail system is for use by Association members and their guests only. The trails are for horseback riding and pedestrians only, bicycles are not permitted. Pedestrian use is limited to walkers and runners in groups no larger than four and pedestrians with pets on a leash. As always, horses have the right of way. The Trails and Recreation Committee hosts a monthly guided trail walk for members and their guests. Walks are designed for all ages and last about an hour with appetizers and drinks following at the RSF Golf Club. To sign up to receive monthly updates on trail walks, email RSFA@RSFAssociation.org or call (858) 756-1174.

Association expects to fund the project with $8 million from the Covenant Enhancement Fund and bank financing for the remainder with a 10-year, fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan. Danola said the board has set the rate structure for subscribers at $100 to $135 a month for 1-gigabit internet, $98 per month for up to 300 channels and $10 per line per month for telephone. While the RSF Association will fund construction of the fiber network, homeowners will be responsible for the cost of bringing the fiber to their home. Homeowners will have options in regards to how the conduit is installed or extended and, according to the voter guide, the average cost in most cases should be $6.25 per linear foot. In addition to the cost of installation, the service provider will charge a one-time connection fee of $250, which will be waived if a homeowner signs a three-year service agreement. FROM GOLF, A2 Tech Committee member and RSF balls,” RSF Association President Fred Wasserman said. Association board member Rick Sapp “Most clubs of equal quality don’t charge for balls.” said there has been a lot of Wasserman said his one issue with offering the balls misinformation and speculation out in for free is ensuring how the revenue will be recovered the community on the project, coming by the golf club. from outside sources whose commercial Danola said that the amount is a relatively small in interests may not be aligned with RSF terms of their larger budget and stated that replacing Association members. the revenue will not raise dues or fees somewhere else. “I encourage everyone to read the “I don’t think it will place a financial restriction on voter guide…The facts and figures are the the golf club by letting those fees go,” Danola said. “It’s facts and figures, regarding the cost and well worth it to enhance the golf club experience.” capabilities,” Sapp said.

Mission: Wildlife raising funds for human and animal prosperity Accomplished wildlife ambassador Julie Scardina to host fundraiser Oct. 7 BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Over an illustrious 40-year career as one of the world’s foremost wildlife ambassadors, Julie Scardina has paraded an innumerable list of species before televised audiences all over the world. She’s being tight-lipped about which of Africa’s wildlife she’ll have on hand next month at the annual fundraiser for the nonprofit, Mission: Wildlife, she co-founded in 2013 with some of her former SeaWorld colleagues —maybe a crested porcupine and a few birds of prey, maybe a cerval or even a sloth. But when it came time to wrangle up a cheetah, she had no such luck. “If anybody knows how to find one, it’d be me,” she joked. Her infectious energy belies the dire straits that cheetahs and giraffes — the two species that Mission: Wildlife is focusing on this year — now find themselves in, a situation that is getting disproportionately slight attention despite being two of Africa’s most beloved species. “People don’t hear a lot about how only 8,000 cheetahs are left, or that giraffes have plummeted by 40 percent in just the last few years,” she said. “These are iconic species that nobody realizes are disappearing.” Each year, Mission: Wildlife benefits a pair

of wildlife conservation groups in Africa — small agencies that are having an outsized impact through research, rescue and educational programs that try to forge lasting solutions by involving local humans as part of the remedy. The Cheetah Conservation Fund, based in Namibia, focuses on habitat restoration, research and ways to abate human-predator conflicts. The Giraffe Conservation Foundation, also based in Namibia, is the only NGO (non-governmental organization) in the world focused exclusively on giraffe conservation and research. Their efforts include genetic research and anti-poaching patrols. “Up until maybe five years ago, even most people who paid attention to this type of stuff didn’t realize giraffes were in such steep decline,” Scardina said. With lead sponsors that include SeaWorld and the Annenberg Foundation, the Oct. 7 fundraiser, which will be held at Scardina’s home in Poway, will be family-friendly and will feature a live auction and raffle. Attendees who buy the VIP ticket will be able to go early and get up close to the wildlife. SeaWorld’s auction items will include a behind-the-scenes tour. Piper and Heath — the company that helps Scardina plan her trips to Africa — will be auctioning off a safari in Namibia. Also up for grabs: the chance to tag along with the Giraffe Conservation Fund on a week-long field expedition. “That’s a once-in-a lifetime thing,”

COURTESY THE CHEETAH CONSERVATION FUND

The fourth annual fundraiser of Mission: Wildlife will benefit groups that focus on giraffes and cheetahs, both of which are in precipitous decline. Scardina said. “Groups like these don’t do that very often.” Scardina witnesses those conditions first-hand in annual excursions to Africa, which she calls conservation safaris. Her first outing came in 2013 when she and several of her SeaWorld colleagues went to Uganda and Kenya. Once they saw the pressures wildlife faced from rapidly encroaching human populations and climate change, they made a pact to find a way to help the kind of small NGOs devoted to on-the-ground impact in

African ecosystems and communities. Within a few months they had created Mission: Wildlife. Their first year benefited Ewaso Lions and Save the Elephants. Their second year benefited bonobos and the Uganda Conservation Foundation. The third year came back to Ewaso Lions, as well as the group Painted Dog Conservation. It’s a rotating cast because the crises, Scardina said, are scattered all across the SEE WILDLIFE, B16

J A M E S A U S T I N M U R R AY La Jolla, July 18th – Madison Gallery proudly presents New York City based artist James Austin Murray’s first West Coast solo exhibition, Light On Black. Black. Known for his large-scale, monochromatic ebony oil paintings, Murray’s work invites the viewer to look beyond the black canvas and see infinite colors and forms. His gestural brushstrokes create wave patterns which reflect light from the surface and provide a layered and wondrous landscape that is sexy and ever mysterious. The black paint becomes a beacon of light in each composition. In darkness there is always light...

The exhibition features a new body of work created during Madison Gallery’s inaugural Artist in Residency program earlier this year. As the first artist selected for the program, the collection reflects the artist’s experience in La Jolla and the West Coast vibe. Light On Black explores the visceral experience of light through new eyes and the chance of new beginnings. For 11 years, Murray was a firefighter, working in the South Bronx, Harlem, the West Village, and on the Lower East Side. During that period, he taught a class at Parsons and ran a gallery with two partners in Tribeca.

James Austin Murray is a graduate of Parsons School of Design, New York, NY (1992). Murray opened and managed the HartnettMurray Gallery and The Markham-Murray Gallery in Tribeca, New York. He has exhibited throughout New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami and East Hampton, NY. He is a recipient of the Dedalus Foundation Fellowship Award for residency at The Vermont Studio Center, VT and has completed residencies at The Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild in Woodstock, NY and Bermis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha, NE. Murray’s work is found in public collections such as Sofitel (Philadelphia, PA), Hotel Palomar (Philadelphia, PA), Four Seasons Hotel (Washington, D.C.), Omni Hotel (Nashville, TN) and Tom Ford (Designer). James Austin Murray lives and works in New York City.

Founded in 2001, Madison Gallery is committed to representing emerging, mid-career and established international artists whom work in a range of media. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art, the gallery consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery works closely in building private, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in California. Blouin Modern Painters Magazine has recognized our program for the fifth year in a row as one of the Top 500 galleries worldwide.

Since opening in 1973, not much has changed for Solana Beach Storage. It is still one of the leading businesses in North County, offering customers, essentially, extensions for their garages. In the beginning, word about the business and its central location in Solana Beach spread easily through word-of-mouth, newspaper ads and articles, said Ellen Wayne, director of marketing for Solana Beach Storage. The addition of the internet in recent years has helped progress the company. “We still rely on our central location and word-of-mouth for new customer referrals,” she said. “Our reputation for customer satisfaction is even more important as referrals are brought to us by Google and other search engines.” As the industry expands, Solana Beach Storage continues to offer services that sets it apart from its competition. One of the most significant differences is that the company provides a free truck and helper for its customers when they move their items. “The best part of this service is the look of complete relief on our customers’ faces when you tell them we will do this for them for free,” Wayne said. Customers also receive free help with organization and lifting while at the facility. Online rentals and reservations are available to help clients book as easily as possible. Wayne said customers of Solana Beach Storage have an advantage in that they are storing their items “in a very clean and centrally-located facility in which they have the even better advantage of accessing their items as often as

The second in the series, “Women, Wine, Wellness and Wisdom” will be held on Thursday, Sept. 21. from 5-8 p.m. at Casa Aldea, the new boutique senior living community in Santaluz. This event will focus on maintaining your mind, body and spirit, while navigating issues and challenges when caring for aging family members. The vision is to bring together a dynamic group of working professionals, stay-at-home-moms and retired “wonder women” to engage, enlighten and enrich each other. The first event, held in June, was a big success. Fifty women attended the “Women, Wine, Design and Destiny” event at a new property listing in Del Sur. The biggest hit of the Rachel Collins Friedman and event was the psychic. The Linda Lederer Bernstein conversations about her “readings” were highly contagious and enjoyed by all. Linda Lederer Bernstein and Rachel Collins Friedman are Realtors with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty. They met a little over two years ago at the Helen Woodward Animal Center annual gala. They connected right away and from there enjoyed beach concerts, birthdays and work-related events. From there they became fast friends and confidants. As they say, they live, love and laugh together! “It is so nice to have someone you know you can trust, share with and support.” They wish to create a safe and fun space where women can support and nurture each other through life cycle events.

Alumni Jason Segal produces video honoring CCA guest artist and ‘The Glass Castle’ Director Destin Cretton

n a recent letter to parents, Canyon Crest Academy Foundation Board President Kristy Laliotis stated, “Our donors are not just funding a computer or a guest artist or a coach, they’re funding a person’s dream — a person’s potential.” One such person is Jason Segal, Canyon Crest Academy Class of 2012 and Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts Class of 2016. Segal has returned to CCA to help the CCA Foundation celebrate this year’s theme of “Grit and Gratitude.” Segal produced a video essay for CCA’s Back-to-School Night to express gratitude to the school and its generous donors for his career as a freelance filmmaker. Segal is especially appreciative of the guest artist program, through CCA’s Envision Cinema and funded entirely by parent donations, which brings industry professionals into the classrooms and conservatory. One such artist, Director Destin Cretton, had a profound influence on Segal and helped him to solidify his career path as a filmmaker. Cretton’s film, “The Glass Castle,” which is in theaters now, features Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson and Academy Award nominees Woody Harrelson and Naomi Watts. Cretton was a CCA Envision Cinema guest artist while Segal attended high school and was a member of the after-school Conservatory Program. Cretton first worked with Larson in the feature version of his highly-acclaimed Short Term Twelve, which was originally a short film he produced as his senior project at San Diego State University. Short Term

Yoel Ferman, Jason Segal, Curtis Michael Donar, Destin Daniel Cretton, Matt Britt at the Premier of Short Term 12 in 2013. Twelve premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize for U.S. Short Filmmaking. Cretton then wrote and directed his first feature-length film, “I Am

Not a Hipster,” which was a 2012 Sundance Film Festival official selection. Segal’s video essay is an homage to his high school, the teachers and guest artists, and especially to the generous donors of the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation who helped him realize his dream to be a filmmaker. When Segal contacted his former teacher with his idea for the video, Cretton readily agreed to allow the use of footage from his feature film. Segal’s film includes a thank you from his mother: “I am a single, working mom and I really couldn’t contribute to the school, but I am appreciative of those who did.” She goes on to say that CCA, with the help of generous donors, provided her son with an education that she had always dreamed he would have. Segal’s essay highlights the importance of the parent-teacher partnership and the generosity of the community in all ways, giving of their time, their talent, and their treasure as the saying goes, noting that all are equally important and vital to the success of local students. Segal’s challenge in the video essay was to help parents to understand the complexity of school funding in the state, a subject he first had to learn himself. He was, as many are, surprised to discover that the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) is the lowest funded high school district in the state, coming in dead last at 77 out of 77 high school districts in California. Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s Executive Director, Joanne Couvrette, provided him with the facts and figures, in a spreadsheet complete with charts and

COURTESY

graphs, none of which lend themselves well to film. Segal chose to use a creative technique to make the numbers come to life, while still managing to convey the fundamental facts for CCA, that the school would not be the same without the generosity of the community. This is the fourth time that Segal has collaborated on a project with the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, most recently having produced a comic video, Coach Chris, for the CIF-mandated parent meetings. Coach Chris explores the nightmare scenario of an athletic coach doomed to coach the season without the basic supplies their team needs — such as uniforms, banners, balls, and transportation — which are usually funded by the CCA Foundation. Coach Chris also features several CCA graduates, and a CCA parent as they come up with creative ways to provide the basic necessities of a fictional CCA team without using any money. Parents are invited to attend the next SDUHSD school board meeting, and all school board meetings, to express their gratitude and voice opinions on all educational concerns. The next meeting is at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 14 , in the San Dieguito Union High School District Office Board Room 101, located at 710 Encinitas Blvd., Encinitas, 92024. A complete list of school district board meetings can be found at bit.ly/sduhsdagendas — Submitted by Canyon Crest Academy Foundation

Bestselling author Gretchen Rubin to speak at RSF Library Guild event at The Inn Sept. 20 The RSF Library Guild, in partnership with Warwick’s, will present bestselling author Gretchen Rubin Wednesday, Sept. 20, from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. The event will include a casual lunch, author presentation, and question and answer session. Rubin is one of the most influential and thought-provoking writers on human nature, according to a press release. Her pioneering work on happiness, which Gretchen Rubin is at the heart of her bestsellers The Happiness Project and Happier at Home (more than two million copies sold worldwide), has sparked powerful conversations about the human search for happiness and has earned her a spot on Oprah’s SuperSoul 100, “a collection of 100 awakened leaders who are using their

voices and talent to elevate humanity.” Rubin’s blockbuster bestseller Better Than Before explored how we can improve our habits and create lasting change, the press release said. Now in her new book, “THE FOUR TENDENCIES: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People’s Lives Better, Too)” (Harmony, on sale Sept. 12, 2017), Rubin unlocks the personality framework that allows people to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress and burn-out, and engage more effectively. And it all starts with a single question: “How do I respond to expectations?” For more information, visit www.gretchenrubin.com. The fee for the Sept. 20 event is $75, which includes a signed copy of Rubin’s new book. To make a reservation, visit rsflibraryguild.org or call 858-756-4780. The event has open reservations, one does not have to be a RSF Library Guild member to attend.

San Dieguito Academy student experiences life in a global community Tasha Gardiner-Feldman, a San Dieguito Academy student, has returned from the experience of a lifetime in a small community near Matagalpa, Nicaragua. For six weeks this summer, Tasha lived and worked with a team of Nicaraguan teenagers and local community leaders to make a contribution to the global community. The summer project that develops leadership skills and allows teenagers to participate as contributors on a global stage is hosted by the local San Diego chapter of Amigos de las Americas. The Amigos mission is to enable a world where each young person becomes a lifelong catalyst for social change. This summer the San Diego Chapter of Amigos hosted 32 local high school students in smaller Latin American communities. Within their local communities, each of these Amigos dedicated a part of their summers to making a global impact in a diverse range of social fields, including Environmental Sustainability, Public Health, Civic Participation, and Youth Entrepreneurship. The 2018 Amigos summer program has already started. Veteran Amigos in nine separate Latin American countries have already begun the process of facilitating partner agency relationships and identifying host families to support the 2018 class of Amigos. Amigos has added even more social programs for this summer, including Sports & Leadership,

Tasha Gardiner-Feldman in Nicaragua Leadership through Media, and Gender Equality. Since 1965, Amigos has been providing youth leadership programs in Latin America with a focus on safety first and always.

Register now for 19th Annual Conner’s Cause for Children Golf Classic Oct. 2 The 19th Annual Conner’s Cause for Children Golf Classic will be held Monday, Oct. 2 at Shadowridge Golf Club in Vista. Registration is at 10:30 a.m., Shotgun Start is at noon. Conner’s Cause for Children is the only nonprofit organization in the San Diego region that offers direct family assistance for out-of-pocket expenses relating to any, and all life-threatening illnesses or injuries associated with children. With the help of the San Diego community, Conner’s Cause assists approximately 400 families per year. The Oct. 2 event features a fun, casual day of golf for a great cause. The entry fee includes greens fee with cart, box lunch, awards dinner, tee prizes, contests and more.

The following are stories about two families Conner’s Cause is assisting: Jack is just about to turn 1 years old, but he will be celebrating in the hospital recovering from his second surgery. Born prematurely, he has a number of congenital malformations that will need multiple surgeries in the coming years. Both of his parents are nursing assistants so they know how to care for him, but it’s hard to make ends meet for their family of six when one or both have to take time off from work. Conner’s Cause for Children pays for gas, utilities and phone bills when Jack’s parents need just a little extra help taking care of Jack. Eleven-year-old Anna has congenital neuromuscular disease and is TPN dependent. SEE GOLF, B16

What to Do (And What to Avoid) When Renovating an Historic Property

Buying an historic home can be an exciting adventure. There is something very special about connecting with history through the architecture and design of your own property. But all that history requires both responsibility and commitment from a homeowner. Historic homes often come with their own challenges. Age, in addition to adding character, can also damage or deteriorate a structure and its foundations. And historic features require specialized knowledge and, sometimes, equipment, to maintain and repair. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody, therefore, that maintaining or restoring an historic home shouldn’t be placed in the hands of just any construction company. At GDC construction, we have close to 100 years

of experience building, renovating, maintaining and upgrading some of La Jolla’s ﬁnest historic homes. We’ve built a wealth of specialized knowledge about the Jewel’s unique character and architecture, and we’ve spent ﬁve generations getting to know how to best preserve our regional history. Are you thinking of buying an historic home in La Jolla? Or are you searching for the right team of specialists to give your property a crucial makeover? Either way, we have some key pointers for you: Make a plan (with expert help) and stick to it: Whether you’re investing in a new property in the area or upgrading or modernizing elements of your current home, you need a solid plan from the get-go. Renovation projects are very different to full-scale restoration projects. So, schedule some time to sit down with an expert to talk over your options. Then set a plan in motion. After all, once you’re in the thick of a renovation project, it’s easy to lose sight of all the minor changes and add-ons. Be realistic: Experts like the engineers and designers at GDC can help you ascertain whether your historic property will support big changes or additions, and whether the character of the home will be maintained by the project you’re

envisioning. And we’ll help you understand the shortcomings and capacities of your home’s existing HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems. Work with construction experts who have done this work before: Working on an historic home is not always a walk in the park. There could be all sorts of hidden challenges and problems that inexperienced builders might fail to see. So, bring in a team with plenty of experience working on historic properties from the ﬁrst day. You won’t regret it. Hire an expert architect: You also want to ensure your chosen architect understands your vision, but also has respect for the historic value of the home. A great architect should be able to make recommendations and add to your vision for your home. GDC regularly works with some of the most well respected architects in the region. Maintain, maintain, maintain: If you own an older home, you must always be vigilant for wear-and-tear. Historic homes typical require more maintenance and regular upgrades to repair and replace outdated, faulty or damaged infrastructure. Look out for leaks: Older properties are especially prone to leaky pipes, which can cause mold. Mold can obviously be hazardous to your health, and can undermine the overall structure of the house, making the property dangerous.

Check for sagging: Sagging walls or ﬂoors could be a sign of water damage or a weakened foundation, which will need to be repaired as soon as possible. Amp it up: Check your home’s electrical panel for the amperage rating. If the house is older than 40 years and hasn’t undergone a major renovation before, chances are good that you won’t have enough amperage to accommodate your modern appliances, and you’ll need an upgrade. Follow the Rules: Renovation and renewal of an historic home is always an option, but you must always be aware of, and follow, the regulations of the local historic landmarks commission. Some historic properties require special permits for any construction work and the project may need to be supervised. Unapproved renovations not meeting with the guidelines may be subject to steep ﬁnes. Again, GDC has decades of experience dealing with historical bureaucracy in La Jolla. Don’t forget that owning a historic property means that maintenance and upkeep are ongoing.

Just Food For Dogs brings nutritious canine food to Del Mar BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A dog food company that is opening in Del Mar is aiming to change San Diegans' mindsets of what they are feeding their furry family members. Just Food For Dogs, which was established in 2011 in Newport Beach, creates home-cooked meals for dogs. The company's newest store opens Sept. 15 in Del Mar at 3485 Del Mar Heights Road, in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center between Starbucks and Ralphs. The products look like human food but are nutritionally balanced for dogs. In fact, unlike other dog foods, humans can actually eat the recipes from Just Food for Dogs. The company will hold a competition featuring local celebrities on Sept. 16 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Del Mar store, in which the contestants will see who can eat the most products from Just Food For Dogs. Money raised will go toward charities supporting animal welfare. Founder Shawn Buckley researched and learned that the most nutritious food for dogs, based on veterinary science, was the same that was delivered

FROM WILDLIFE, B2 massive continent. “The Africa we all picture in our minds is absolutely still there in certain places, but to ignore everything else that is going on is to not help the problem,” she said. “I want Africa to be prospering 50 years from now, not continuing to lose habitats and have humans suffering along with the animals. That can only happen by helping not only the species thrive but the humans as well.” That’s why Mission: Wildlife reaches out to groups that emphasize getting humans into a mindset that wildlife’s survival can be a source of prosperity. One of the challenges the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) is taking on is that habitat loss and a shortage of prey is forcing cheetahs to hunt outside their protected territories. That increasingly means hunting livestock on ranchers’ land. CCF builds relationships with those ranchers so that they call CCF to relocate the cheetahs instead of killing them. With dwindling numbers and a shrinking range, every cheetah they save has far-reaching impact.

“Even those ones and twos and threes, for a species that has so few, it makes a huge difference in the future,” Scardina said. “From every cheetah they save, there could be a half-dozen repopulating those areas a few years later.” Thanks to that shift in attitudes, villages bordering the cheetah reservations are forming conservancies that act as a sort of buffer zone, where ranchers are realizing they can run their cattle enterprises while at same time reaping revenues from a boom in eco-tourism. “This is one of the only types of employment many of the locals have without having to turn to illegal hunting,” Scardina said. “It really changes the life of these communities.” Mission: Wildlife started small, but has grown each year. Last year’s fundraiser collected $27,000. This year’s goal is $50,000. She wants to double that again for next year. That’s major money for the small organizations they choose to benefit, which take on everything from rescue and relocation to veterinarian care to habitat restoration. “For an organization here to do that much

medical officer adds a vitamin blend at the end for any gaps that we have." Tischler said many people are not aware of what is in their dogs’ foods based on reading labels alone. Peanut shells, for example, can show up on labels as "vegetable fiber." The shells have little nutritional value. He said because commercial food is made in factories, that offers little transparency for the general public. “The pet food industry is largely unregulated and, at the end of the day, it's working off the byproducts of the human food industry,” Tischler noted, adding commercial dog food can also often contain preservatives and toxic chemicals. “It's no surprise some of the biggest pet food companies are also big human food companies. It's very scary. One of our core values is the foundation of transparency, which is why we put our kitchen on full display. We want our customers to be able to come in and inspect our ingredients.

work, we’d think it was a multi-million dollar operation. But there it’s not. These guys are running on a shoestring, so every little bit helps,” she said. “Every amount we get, they can do that much more with — they can take that many more kids to bush camp, they can train that many more warriors to be lion protectors, they can educate that many more farmers about not needing to kill animals that roam onto their land.” But because the pressures will only continue to grow, she is determined to expand Mission: Wildlife’s reach. Fortunately, she can pour even more of her energy into doing just that now that she retired from SeaWorld this past December after a 40-year career that included several positions with SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, of which she’s best known as their lead Animal Ambassador. She is still on the board of the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund. “It was time. I’ve been wanting to branch out and try some other things,” she said. “But it’s still all about animal welfare, conservation and education. That’s who I am; I’m never going to retire from that.”

Tickets and more information can be found at www.facebook.com/MissionWildlifeSD/ Scardina, along with Jeff Flocken, co-authored the book, Wildlife Heroes, highlighting 40 people around the globe who have dedicated their lives to saving species. According to her biography on the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund website (swbg-conservationfund.org), Scardina holds the title as “the most frequent guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and also appeared on NBC's Today Show more than 100 times discussing animals and conservation. She also traveled around the world for years with Jack Hanna, appearing on his weekly show Animal Adventures. Scardina is also a member of the Association of Zoos and Aquarium's Animal Welfare Committee, the Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders Board, and a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Marine Animal Trainers Association.

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: After posting a 5-2 record and just barely missing making the playoffs last season, a program that could barely field an 8-man team as recently as two years ago has seen its numbers swell to upwards of 25. And despite some tough graduation losses, the Lions appear to be building on their momentum from last season. San Diego Jewish Academy improved to 2-0 to start the season as the Lions defeated West Shores of Salton City (Imperial County) 28-14 in a nonleague game on Sept. 7. They opened the season with an impressive 58-14 nonleague victory over Christian Life Academy on Aug. 31 in which senior quarterback and team captain Sebastian Mayer rushed for three touchdowns to lead the Lions. “To grow the program while you’re winning, the two just go hand in hand,” Lions coach Skip Carpowich said earlier this month. The Lions won with a mostly inexperienced team after graduating nine seniors, the most notable of which was quarterback Jordan Battaglia, a four-year starter and inspirational leader. “We have an untested team with some of the new guys,” Carpowich said. “A lot of new guys have not played contact football much less varsity tackle football.” ***** Cathedral Catholic defeated Westview 48-6 in a nonleague game on Sept. 8, the first win of the season for the defending Division 1-AA state champions, who lost their first two games after going undefeated last season. ***** Torrey Pines defeated Fallbrook 44-0 in a nonleague game on Sept. 8. The Falcons improved to 2-1 overall for the season. Volleyball: Torrey Pines defeated Point Loma 3-1 (25-21, 21-25, 25-16, 25-12) in a nonleague match on Sept. 7. Emily Fitzner had seven kills, 16 assists, five aces, five blocks and 12 digs and Jaden Whitmarsh had 13 kills and 11 digs to lead the Falcons. Kiara McNulty had 17 assists and five kills. The Falcons improved to 3-1 overall for the season. ***** Canyon Crest Academy

defeated Carlsbad 3-1 (25-18, 24-26, 25-17, 25-19) in an Avocado League West opener for both teams on Sept. 6. Hannah Martin and Olivia Schewe each had 13 kills to lead the Ravens and Sydney Ely had 12 kills. Olivia Lovenberg had 40 assists. The Ravens defeated Eastlake 3-1 (24-26, 25-11, 25-16, 25-15) in a nonleague match the next day in which Schewe had 13 kills and Martin had nine kills. Lovenberg had 40 assists and Vivienne Franke had 21 digs. The Ravens improved to 3-1 overall for the season. ***** Cathedral Catholic defeated The Bishop’s School 3-0 (26-24, 25-15, 25-19) in a nonleague match on Sept. 5. Peyton Wilhite had 12 kills and three blocks and Jaalyn Sotoa had 11 kills to lead the Dons. Kylie Adams had 29 assists and six digs. Karenna Wurl had 11 digs and The Dons improved to 2-1 overall for the season. ***** Santa Fe Christian defeated Patrick Henry 2-0 (25-20, 25-15) in a September Classic Tournament game on Sept. 8. Sarah Schrag had nine kills and Anaree Smith had 25 kills to lead the Eagles as they improved their overall record for the season to 3-1. ***** San Dieguito Academy bounced back for a 3-1 (25-19, 25-19, 15-25, 25-22) victory over Ramona on Sept. 8. The Mustangs improved to 7-2 overall for the season. Field Hockey: Cathedral Catholic defeated San Marcos 2-0 in a nonleague game on Sept. 5. Isabella Mattera scored one goal to lead the Dons. Daphne Tenuto scored one goal and Rachel Brenk had one assist. The Dons improved to 3-0-1 overall for the season. Cross Country: Torrey Pines’ Robert Bartsch (10:11.8) placed sixth to lead the Falcons to a second-place finish. The Falcons (88 points) finished one point behind Sage Creek (87). Golf: Cathedral Catholic defeated Our Lady of the Peace 201-224 in a Western League match on Sept. 5 at The Grand Del Mar. Sabrina Nguyen shot an even-par 36 to lead the Dons.

vitamin blend makes all the difference. Just Food For Dogs also encourages people to home cook for their dogs and sells the nutrient blend separately so dogs are "getting all the essential vitamins and minerals," Tischler said. The company's recipes are also given freely away so people can cook batches on their own. "We actually have what's called a ‘Do-It-Yourself Kit’ where we sell the nutrient blend because that's the part that you wouldn't know how to do at home," Tischler said. "We have a pamphlet that outlines our recipe, and we have hundreds of thousands of customers who are buying that product and cooking in their own kitchens, adding our nutrient blends, putting some of them into Ziploc bags in their refrigerator and the rest they put in the freezer to thaw out over time as they need them." The company is planning on opening more stores throughout San Diego. "Like LA and Orange County, San Diego is a dog-loving community," Tischler said. "We have thousands of customers online who buy our product and asked us when we would open a store in San Diego. It was a natural extension for us to come down here."

about the company's products and are prepared to answer questions from pet owners about their dogs' diets. Tischler said owners who are feeding their dogs premium dry kibble products can expect to spend $1 to $1.25 more per day when they switch their dogs to Just Food For Dogs. Those who feed their dogs raw or freeze-dried diets can expect to spend less money when they make the transition. Each of Just Food For Dogs’ 10 locations has a full kitchen where 2,000 pounds of food is cooked every day and go through processes such as cutting and mixing. One recipe is made each day. Proteins include tuna, turkey, beef, chicken, fish, lamb and venison mixed with various vegetables. Just Food For Dogs, which also has formulas created for special diets, such as skin or diet issues, is the only fresh food company that has tested its food to show improvement in dogs' diets, Tischler said. He noted feeding your dog products from Just Food For Dogs is similar to feeding them meals like chicken and rice, a “bland diet” that tends to be recommended by veterinarians for canines with upset stomachs.
