Hearing held on charter school BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School (SDUHSD) board heard strong support for the new School of Universal Learning (SOUL) charter school at its Sept. 15 meeting. The hearing was the next step in the process for the district’s first-ever charter school petition — the board will make a final decision on whether to approve the school at its Oct. 13 meeting, to be held at San Dieguito High School Academy. In over 45 minutes of public comment, teachers, parents and young students said they would love to see a school like SOUL come to the Encinitas community. One eighth grader at Diegueno Middle School spoke about being severely bullied in the fourth grade and being diagnosed with depression and anxiety. She said she has become fearful of going to school, crying herself to sleep at night and, two summers ago, feeling suicidal. She said she is so scared of going to high school that she has considered online school. “I know I’m not alone but I feel alone. I don’t tell many people for the fear of the embarrassment or the rumors,” said the brave young student. “I had lost hope but I now I have a glimmer of hope that maybe I might find a place where I fit in, where I’m not constantly depressed. That glimmer of hope brought me here, it’s the reason I’m talking to you….When I read about SOUL in the newspaper, I smiled. A real smile. It may not SEE SCHOOL, A20

Recycled water plan in works for golf course BY JOE TASH Officials from three local entities are working together on a plan that would provide recycled water to irrigate the Rancho Santa Fe golf course, thus saving nearly 80 million gallons of drinking water annually that could instead be used by residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. Over the past 18 months, officials with the Santa Fe Irrigation District, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Services District and the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club have been meeting to discuss the proposal. The Santa Fe board received an update on the talks at its meeting on Thursday, Sept. 15.

SDUHSD experiences financial surplus BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) ended the 2015-16 school year with its fourth consecutive surplus, Interim Superintendent Eric Dill reported at the Sept. 15 board meeting. The district went from a projected $2.4 million deficit in the spring to a $4 million surplus with fall’s unaudited actuals. “This continues our pattern of showing deficits throughout the year and then closing the gap by the end of the year,” Dill said. “I said twice in

this very room that was our job to do, we have a gap and we needed to shrink it.” Dill credited Chief Financial Officer Delores Perley and her staff for watching how the money comes in and how the district spends it — he said the unaudited actuals are like her “final exam.” “There is quite a bit of good news,” Perley said, noting that they saw $1.5 million in savings in books and supplies and recognized a savings in SEE SURPLUS, A20

Judge mulls dropping Three resign from kidnap case indictment Whispering Palms BY DANA LITTLEFIELD A judge is considering whether to set aside an indictment against a Fairbanks Ranch man accused of trying to kidnap a 7-year-old girl outside a Solana Beach school last year and assaulting a 5-year-old girl five years earlier. In late August of last year, a San Diego grand jury returned a 10-count indictment against Jack Henry Doshay, 23, accusing him of committing a lewd act on a child with force, kidnapping, false imprisonment and assault with intent to commit a lewd act on a child. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges in Vista Superior Court.

His attorneys now contend that prosecutors failed to present evidence to the grand jury that points to someone other than Doshay in the incident involving the 5-year-old. The attorneys say the girl described a man who looked markedly different than Doshay did at the time. “The purpose of today’s hearing is to show the judge that the indictment of Mr. Doshay should be dismissed because important critical evidence having to do with his innocence was not shown to the grand jury, and had they been shown that evidence they would not have indicted him,” said Paul Pfingst on Sept. 15, Doshay’s lead defense SEE KIDNAP, A20

DM Fairgrounds to turn into Wild West during 2017 fair BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar Fairgrounds is going to be transformed into the Wild West for next year’s San Diego County Fair. The 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which governs the state-owned site, unanimously approved a western theme — “How the West Was Fun at the 2017 San Diego County Fair”— during its Sept. 13 meeting. The fair will explore the Wild West, also known as the Old West, the period of American history from the 1800s to the early part of the 20th century when the last mainland states entered the

ity l a Qu

Union. The theme exhibit will look like a western saloon, complete with a bar and player piano. From learning recipes and listening to campfire tips, to setting up camp and panning for gold, the exhibit will offer a variety of western-themed activities. The exhibit will feature notorious outlaws, including Billy the Kid and Jesse James, as well as famous women of the west, such as Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane. Additionally, the exhibit will explore the unique cultures and contributions of Native Americans. Among other activities, fairgoers will also learn how to saddle up, rope

and ride horses. The board also approved dates for the 2017 fair, which will open at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 2, and close on Tuesday, July 4. The fair will be closed the first four Mondays and on the first three Tuesdays. With the wacky, wild and whimsical “Mad About the Fair” theme, the 2016 San Diego County Fair, which also had a 26-day run, set an overall attendance record of 1,609,481 guests — the most since the fair began in 1880. The 2015 fair ran 25 days and had a final attendance of 1,503,538. The previous attendance record was set in 2012, with a total of 1,517,508 guests.

CSD committee

BY KAREN BILLING The Whispering Palms Community Services District (CSD) board did not meet this month, as it did not have a quorum — three of the board members have resigned. President Nancy McElfresh, Vice President David Nugent and Director Jack Wasserman resigned, leaving just two board members. McElfresh’s and Nugent’s seats were two of three that are up for election in November, and they were not seeking re-election. There are five candidates for those three seats, including businessman/lawyer Byron Hanchett, nuclear scientist/engineer Douglas Manatt, Martin Ross, incumbent Kathy McHenry and retired educator Valerie Thatcher. Chuck Duffy, general manager of the Whispering Palms CSD, said that the resignations will have no impact on the election. “Since we have only two seated board members, we do not have the three board members necessary for a quorum to allow the board to take any action,” Duffy said. “We are still working with our district counsel on the exact methodology to appoint a person to the board to gain that three-member quorum.” The CSD board had been expected to take action on a community-wide vote about whether or not to move forward with a new median landscaping plan that would involve the removal of 54 palm trees at the community’s entrance.

EVERYBODY NEEDS A HOME “When I moved from La Jolla to Rancho Santa Fe I knew no one in the community. Fortunately, one of the ﬁrst people I met was Janet Lawless Christ, one of RSF’s top residential real estate agents. Janet, a warm and welcoming “ambassador” for RSF, has been almost “a one-person Chamber of Commerce” for me. No matter how many different times I have gone to her when in need of a service or business, she has always had a ready answer. Over the years she has helped me ﬁnd attorneys, commercial real estate agents, plumbers, handymen and the list just keeps going on! I am not sure how other newcomers to Rancho Santa Fe navigate their new community without the assistance of someone like Janet. She has been one of the best reasons that I can now call Rancho Santa Fe my home!”

Rancho Santa Fe attorney reaches top of Mount Rainier on second try BY KRISTINA HOUCK Author Barry Finlay once said that “every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.” That’s true for Rancho Santa Fe’s Steve Cologne and Mount Rainier. After a failed attempt to reach the peak of the highest mountain in the state of Washington four years ago, Cologne successfully completed the climb last month. “It was one of the toughest things I’ve ever done in the outdoors, and it was also the most rewarding,” Cologne said. “I was completely overwhelmed when I got to the top.” An attorney with more than 30 years of experience, Cologne, 57, has lived in Rancho Santa Fe since 1974. He is an owner and partner with Higgs Fletcher & Mack, specializing in complex tort and business litigation. In his free time, Cologne enjoys wilderness backpacking, often in Alaska, and rim-to-rim hiking of the Grand Canyon. “It’s fantastic,” he said. Four years ago Cologne decided he would next try to summit Mount Rainier, having seen the mountain on his many trips to Alaska. He first attempted the climb in 2012. Despite having completed a half marathon and multiple hikes of the

Grand Canyon that year, Cologne was unable to complete the climb. “I didn’t make it,” he said. “I never really was obsessed with it, but I felt it was a piece of unfinished business.” Determined to finish business, in January, Cologne booked another trip to Mount Rainier, the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of

the Pacific Northwest. “It’s been in the planning for months,” he said. Though Cologne had already been with a trainer for over a year, once he set his sights back on the mountain, he started specifically preparing for the climb. In April, he began a more structured training program, which included a hike up

Mount San Gorgonio, the highest peak in Southern California. Located just east of the city of San Bernardino, the highest peak of the mountain is 11,503 feet, whereas Mount Rainier’s highest peak reach 14,411 feet. “I followed their guidelines and program as much as I could, instead of just trying to think I

could do it on my own,” Cologne said about working with mountain guide company RMI Expeditions. “As a result, I thought that I was better prepared for the climb in 2016 than I was in 2012.” Cologne set out on his trip from Aug. 11-15. He started the two-day climb on Aug. 14, reaching the top of Mount Rainier at sunrise on Aug. 15. He and the small group remained at the top of the mountain for an hour before heading down at 7:30 a.m. “People come from all over the world to climb this mountain,” said Cologne, noting that Mount Rainier is a training ground for Mount Everest and the Himalayas because it is the only mountain in the continental U.S. that has glaciers and it is a near a major airport. “It’s really a great blessing that we have it this close.” Although Cologne insisted he’s not planning to climb Mount Everest anytime soon, he is seeking another mountain to climb, hoping to test his limits once more. “I told everybody this would be my last mountain to climb, whether I made it or not, and I’m kind of breaking my own promise,” Cologne said. “I’m now looking around for another mountain to climb.”

The big story of ‘Little Boy’ RSF resident Clay Perkins’ WWII collection shared with Japanese college students BY KAREN BILLING World War II ended with arguably one of the most significant events in the history of the 20th century, the dropping of two nuclear weapons. An exact replica of the atomic bomb that fell on Hiroshima —“Little Boy” — sits in Rancho Santa Fe resident Clay Perkins’ backyard. Perkins’ home in Fairbanks Ranch is a mini-museum, filled with his collections of rare books and artifacts, over 700 firearms, two dozen cannons, a hydrogen bomb and five atomic bombs, three of them real although, of course, not active. Recently, Perkins shared Little Boy and the rest of his WWII memorabilia with a group of visitors from Ritsumeikan University in Japan. Ritsumeikan professor Kinue Tokudome, a friend of Perkins’, worked for years to get permission from the university for students to come to America to learn more about the war. While in San Diego, students visited with 96-year-old Dr. Lester Tenney, a survivor of the Bataan Death March who now lives at La Costa Glen retirement community in Carlsbad. Perkins has several artifacts from his friend Tenney’s three and a half years as a prisoner of war in his collection that he was able to show to the Japanese students. At his home, Perkins led the students in a discussion about the bomb and why it exists, how it worked in a nuclear sense, and then they sat for over an hour raising complicated, interesting ethical and tactical

questions — before a luncheon with Tenney in Carlsbad. “A good time was had by all, as they say,” Perkins said. The trip, sponsored by Mitsubishi Materials, will also include visits to the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Museum in West Virginia, and the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Missouri. Perkins, 82, was fascinated by the Manhattan Project and nuclear physics as a young boy. A retired physicist, Perkins is an actual rocket scientist. He helped build the Atlas Missile, the first intercontinental ballistic missile at San Diego’s Convair Division at General Dynamics, as well as the Centaur space rocket. Perkins got into real estate development which he said has allowed him to purchase many of his rare artifacts when they became available — like one of the world’s earliest maps and a sword once owned by George Washington that dates back to 1776. His wife, Dorothy, is a fellow history buff, having written 11 books, including an exhaustive one on Texas history — her ancestors’ Texas roots reach back to the early 19th century and she owns a teapot once owned by Mexican dictator Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Perkins’ success in real estate also allowed him to build his home in Rancho Santa Fe — he has lived in Fairbanks Ranch for 19 years and one of his proudest accomplishments is the library he designed, a book-lover’s dream with two stories of shelves filled with treasured tomes, such as his worn copy of “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” by Richard Rhodes, filled with notes and post-it note bookmarks. “Science and history are very different. But they

As his Japanese visitors would discover, his World War II collection is museum-quality. In one hallway, Perkins has the story of World War II in relics — beginning with a “Remember Pearl Harbor” wall hanging that hung in many American homes after the December 1941 bombing. On the wall are remnants of Tenney’s life as a POW (prisoner of war) — he was captured by the Japanese in April 1942 and, along with some 75,000 American and Filipino soldiers, was a part of the 65-mile Bataan Death March, five days with no food or water. As many as 11,000 soldiers died on the way to the Philippine prison camp. In a frame, Perkins has Tenney’s few possessions he owned while he was a prisoner —a kit of steel,

quartz rock and cotton to start a fire or smoke the rare, occasional cigarette. There is a rock from the Bataan Death March, a hunk of coal from the coal mine in Japan he was forced to work in, and the lucky rabbit’s foot Tenney carried for those three long years where he and fellow prisoners were beaten, tortured and some killed. “When he gave that to me, I was deeply touched,” Perkins said. Tenney gave the items to Perkins for his 80th birthday. Tenney has been a longtime crusader for justice — he has said history books don’t paint an accurate picture about Japan’s treatment of POWs. On his wall, Perkins has a photo of when Tenney received an apology from the Japan’s Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada in 2010 — “A staggering SEE PERKINS, A22

ROMP gala benefiting Ronald McDonald House supports families going through medical crises RSF residents to help lead gala with 1980s theme Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego’s annual ROMP gala brings together supporters and philanthropists for a fun-filled, 1980s “House Party” at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar on Oct. 29, with a focus on a serious cause – keeping families together. The annual gala will Jamie feature musical Straza entertainment, gourmet food and a live auction to raise funds for San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House. The charity helps keep families close to one another and the care they need while their child is undergoing treatment at Fernanda Whitworth local hospitals for serious, often life-threatening conditions. Services and amenities include meals, overnight rooms, nap rooms, laundry facilities, child care programs and more to alleviate stress and financial burden, while keeping families close to

their loved ones. “The Ronald McDonald House’s signature ROMP gala began seven years ago to bring our supporters, our House and the families we serve together for a playful evening that benefits a very serious cause,” said Chuck Day, president and CEO, Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. “This year’s ROMP – in classic ‘80s style – will bring us together again for a great party as we rally to support our Ronald McDonald House and the families in our care.” Carrie Campbell, Leslie Mannes, Jamie Straza and Fernanda Whitworth sit on the ROMP 2016 executive committee, and each individual brings a unique connection to their role in leading this year’s ROMP gala. Jamie Straza and her husband, Joey, have been involved with San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House for over six years. She is currently a member of the organization’s development committee, and has served as a trustee and leader in the foundation of the charity’s annual giving program, The Giving Circles. Straza is an owner/operator of several McDonald’s restaurants in San Diego County and serves as president of San Diego County McDonald’s Owner/Operator Association. She, her husband and three children live in Rancho Santa Fe. Fernanda “Fé” Whitworth and her husband, Ralph, have been generous supporters of the House since 2010.

Whitworth has chaired two successful ROMP galas and is deeply committed to caring for families with children in medical crisis. Her first year as ROMP chair helped put ROMP on the map as one of the county’s premier charitable fundraising events. Whitworth looks forward to making this year’s ROMP a financial success for the House and enjoying a fun-filled evening with her friends. She, her husband and children live in Rancho Santa Fe. The ‘80s-themed event will feature acrobatic bartenders, live music from local band The Mighty Untouchables, break-dancers and other “House Party” entertainment.

Rancho Santa Fe resident still full of life at age 102 Marian Snyder credits good genes, family for her longevity BY CHRIS SAUR Marian Snyder turned 102 years old on Aug. 21 and though she is still physically healthy and mentally sharp, she doesn’t have a secret to share. “Good genes I guess from my mother who lived to be in her 90s, which was an adventure because back then people didn’t really live that long,” Snyder said, while sitting in a sunny spot in the Rancho Santa Fe house she shares with her son Martin Buncher, himself a spry 75-year-old, surrounded by some of the beautiful paintings and sculptures she’s been working on since she was a young girl growing up in Pittsburgh. “I just eat normally and do the best I can,” added Snyder, who said she never smoked, hardly drank and has always loved to dance. She received congratulatory letters from Vice President Joe Biden and Oprah Winfrey upon turning 102. The genes have certainly helped, but Buncher has a theory of his own

as to his mom’s longevity. “We have family, like people dream about having family. There was always a family tie,” said Buncher, who noted that all of the living relatives came to Rancho Santa Fe from all over the country to celebrate Marian’s 100th birthday in 2014. After immigrating from Russia and Poland before World War I, Snyder’s family started a jewelry business in Pittsburgh. It was there that a teenaged Marian met Albert Buncher and, when they got old enough, she 21 and he 22, they got married. Marian was a good enough artist by that time to earn a scholarship to Carnegie Mellon School of Art. The couple had three children: Martin, who still works as a psychologist, Les Buncher, now 78 and a retired OBGYN, and Linda Welsh, a well-known clinical psychologist in Philadelphia who is now 72. Marian has five grandchildren and seven great grandchildren and has survived her two younger siblings. A successful businessman, Albert Buncher, died suddenly of a heart attack at age 44, just a few years before bypass surgery was popularized. After Buncher died, his brother cut her out from a successful steel business and she

Lowenstein cotton converters as a stylist. She lived there for nearly 10 years — at one point living in Zsa Zsa Gabor’s old apartment complete with a circle bed and Gabor’s mother, Jolie, living a floor above her — before marrying her second husband, Benjamin Snyder, and moving to Philadelphia. Snyder manufactured steel tubing and owned the Buck County Playhouse in Pennsylvania, which saw early performances from stars such as Dick Van Dyke and Robert Redford,

among others. The two traveled around the world, from Europe to Asia — Rome and Florence were her favorites and the Snyders were early travelers to Hong Kong — and eventually, in 1972, moved to Southern California, joining her two sons who had already moved to the La Costa area. “What’s not to like (about this area), it’s heaven on earth,” Marian said. In Southern California, Marian’s star-crossed life continued, whether it was her good friend Vic Damone

— who she met in Puerto Rico before running into him just three days later in La Costa — singing her the song “Make Someone Happy” over the phone just after it was first recorded; or being the buffer at a dinner with Victor Mature and William Holden as a favor to Mature’s ex-wife who was then dating Holden; or being mistaken for Phyllis Diller by one of Diller’s best friends leading to a “career” as a Diller lookalike at parties; to dinners at Desi Arnaz’s house. “I always seem to have luck in falling into these situations. I’ve had ups and downs, but let’s just talk about the ups,” she said. In her later years, Marian converted her La Costa garage into a studio, where she taught art to neighboring housewives, who were soon joining a waiting list to get instruction from her. Her students went on to sell pieces for more than $20,000. Snyder has also used her skills to sculpt and paint portraits of nearly everyone she knew. Marian can’t sculpt or paint anymore — though she did portraits into her 90s — but she’s built up enough of a portfolio to fill a museum. Those works, plus about eight dogs, a couple of cats, horses, an emu, two tortoises and dozens of adopted birds live alongside her at Martin’s Rancho Santa Fe property.

A Senior Living Experience Unlike Any Other TPHS grad Jake Heilbrunn and his book, “Off the Beaten Trail.”

COURTESY

At Casa Aldea Senior Living, expect the extraordinary.

A journey to happiness

unique senior living experience with its beautifully designed

TPHS grad overcomes his obstacles, writes book ‘Off the Beaten Trail’

luxurious surroundings, distinctive signature programs,

BY KAREN BILLING After four eye-opening, life-altering months in Central America, Torrey Pines High School graduate Jake Heilbrunn came back with a whole new outlook on life and the material for his first book, “Off the Beaten Trail: A Young Man’s Soul-Searching Journey Through Central America.” The book shares Heilbrunn’s story of overcoming a chronic skin condition and depression by taking an unexpected path: He dropped out of college at 18 and went on a solo backpacking trip through Central America despite having his knowledge of Spanish language not reaching far past “Hola” and “Gracias.” His story told is raw and honest. “It’s the definition of an open book,” said Heilbrunn, now 19 and living in Carmel Valley. “The way I see it is that the best way to connect with someone is to be vulnerable.” Heilbrunn first shared his story with 2,000 Torrey Pines students at the school’s Yellow Ribbon Week in the spring, a week devoted to mental health awareness. As he noted, no one likes to talk about their depression, anxiety or life’s struggles — and yet one in 10 high school students suffer with mental health challenges. “Millions of kids feel like this and we’re not talking about it,” Heilbrunn said. “To know that you’re not alone, that’s the biggest thing. To reach out and say ‘Hey, I’m struggling.’ That’s what I did.” Heilbrunn will host a book launch party at Swell Coffee in Flower Hill Promenade on Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. The book will officially be available on Sept. 29 on amazon.com. In high school, Heilbrunn said he was a happy kid. His anxiety and depression didn’t start until he landed as a freshman at Ohio State University. Three days after arriving at college, he broke out in hives. He was uncomfortably itchy, anxious and quickly lost confidence and became depressed as he didn’t understand what was causing it to happen or when an outbreak might occur. He was eventually diagnosed with chronic urticaria and he went through numerous

pills, creams and tests but nothing seemed to work. “I was halfway across the country, 18-years-old and alone,” Heilbrunn said. “I began to realize that my stress and anxiety stemmed from a misalignment within myself, a disconnect between my dreams and passions and what I was actually doing…that discomfort manifested itself in a skin condition.” While he was grateful to have grown up in a community like Carmel Valley, with it came a lot of expectations and perceptions of success — he didn’t ever hear about kids doing things a different way such as taking a year off school to travel and volunteer and think about what they wanted to do instead of rush right into what was expected. Conversations with an Ohio State career counselor became therapeutic and helpful. He realized he hadn’t really wanted to go to college, he wasn’t really interested in studying business. Ohio State was in celebration mode after the football team winning the national championship, but Heilbrunn could no longer ignore his unhappiness. “I hope more kids have the courage to do what’s best for them without the worry of expectations,” Heilbrunn said. He made the decision to leave Ohio State and to travel, returning home to San Diego to plan and get his finances in order to book a one-way ticket to Guatemala. He had money saved from working and figured that through a volunteer work exchange program called Workaway he could make it stretch. “Regardless of my skin, I was going to go,” Heilbrunn said. “My parents were very supportive, they trusted me.” He left on March 19, 2015 with no return-ticket. The first six weeks he volunteered in Guatemala teaching English to schoolchildren and taking treks through ancient Mayan civilization and jungles. He went on to explore Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The guy who had never even been camping before went on a hot, intense six-day, 75-mile jungle trek where he ate SEE JOURNEY, A22

he state’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) has provided school districts with significantly increased revenue which was intended to address the needs of traditionally under-performing groups of students, as well as advance achievement for all students. Using LCFF funds for across-the-board increases in teacher salary is essentially paying more for the same level of service, many experts say, and does not promise an improvement in the delivery of instruction or quality of instructional materials. In addition, many have argued the LCFF money should not be used for salary increases, because it is one-time funding and raises are a multi-year commitment. Yet, many districts – including the San Dieguito Union High School District – did it. No one would argue that San Dieguito’s teachers didn’t deserve a structural salary increase after seven years of going without – although “going without” is misleading because teachers receive regular increases in

pay under the step-and-column system which rewards teachers annually for years in the district and education credentials. But the size of the raise was staggering. One issue before voters this election year is whether the raise – 12.5 percent for every employee in the district – was appropriate, so it’s fair to revisit the decision. Three of the five San Dieguito board members – Joyce Dalessandro, Beth Hergesheimer and Amy Herman – voted in favor of the salary increase, with Mo Muir and John Salazar opposed. Although the district also recorded revenue from other sources, LCFF was a windfall. Last year, Eric Dill, then Associate Superintendent of Business Services and now the district’s Interim Superintendent, said the district received about $94 million in Base Grant LCFF money for 2015-2016, and all that “is unquestionably flexible.” “The use of Base Grant funding is completely discretionary as part of the local control granted to each school

www.rsfreview.com district,” Dill said in an email. He said the Supplemental Grant portion of the LCFF that the district received – about $1.6 million – is all that must be dedicated to serving low-income and English learner students. The combined amount of about $95.8 million, he said, adds up to the total entitlement from the state for the district in 2015-2016. State assembly woman and local education hero Shirley Weber – never shy about speaking her mind – said in an article in July 2015 with “LA School Report” that the LCFF money was not intended for teacher raises. Weber, a Democrat, was reacting to Calif. Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson’s misguided interpretation of the 2013 LCFF law which he said allowed districts to use the cash to give teachers raises if districts can simply argue that the pay increases would “make a difference.” The original intent, Weber said, was to improve achievement and address the needs specific to low-income students, English learners and foster youth. In the 2014 election, San Diego County went for Torlakson’s opponent Marshall Tuck, by 55.9 percent over 44.1 percent. Torlakson won though, benefiting from major donations from the California Teachers Association which supported his re-election. An across-the-board salary increase, ill-advised by many education experts, does not target students in

low-performing sub-groups. Nor does it address the need for crucial supplies that aid learning. Diegueno Middle School’s science department, for example, recently sent a note to parents asking for donations to its science lab “to support the hands-on lab experiments in the classroom.” Listing items needed that the dept. said were costly, the note states, “Our budget has been cut 80 percent over the last 10 years, yet our student population has remained the same.” At La Costa Canyon High School, a teacher had to beg for money for more lunch seating and to provide a sunshade for students at lunchtime. The amount he asked for? A measly $1,800. Wouldn’t it have been nice if San Dieguito had allocated even a tiny fraction of the millions that went to salary increases to address student needs like these? The district’s school foundations seek donations every year to pay for academic and athletic programs. La Costa Canyon parent Lucile Lynch, who alerted me to these two examples, commended the foundations and teachers for their efforts to generate the supplemental funding to support academic programs. But, “At some point,” she said, “families and community members have to wonder where the [district’s] money is going and why not more of it is going directly to these and other programs.” SEE SUTTON, A22

OUR READERS WRITE School boards are supposed to be nonpartisan I was somewhat amused by the title chosen for the recent letter from Randy Berholtz. It should have read, “SDUHSD needs a fiscally-responsible board with a shared Republican vision.” Our school boards are supposed to be nonpartisan. Yet the 3-2 split on the budget vote was directly along party lines. And this year, many SDUHSD board candidates have accepted an endorsement from a major political party – including Mr. Berholtz. I think this is irresponsible. A school board member’s priority should be to our students, not advancing a political agenda. I agree with Mr. Berholtz that the district deserves a fiscally-responsible budget, but he should check his facts before proclaiming that the district also deserves a budget “with no deficit spending.” Under recent CA law, the district was required to reduce its reserves, hence the deficit for the coming year. The real challenge is finding the right mix of ongoing versus one-time expenses. In response to Mr. Berholtz’s claim that the “district leadership has been fiscally irresponsible,”

he is both right and wrong. Our teachers should be better compensated. They are the reason our schools are among the best in the state. But handcuffing the board with a regional “most favored nation” salary clause effectively outsources local control – and the board’s fiduciary duty – to other districts. As a businessman, I believe this kind of inflexibility is bad for taxpayers. It is bad for the students. It is bad for the teachers. Meeting the district’s fiscal challenges will require careful analysis and consensus building, not party-line rhetoric. Each issue facing the board should be considered on its own merits, not on a pre-conceived ideology. Bob Nascenzi Del Mar Mesa

RSF proposed membership rules After reading several articles about the new membership rules for the RSF Association, I have a few comments: First off, I do not like the two-vote per property issue. Keep it the simple with one vote per property which makes more sense. Keep it the way it has been for umpteen years.

Second, I support one vote of each property for each owner of record (County APN#) that is paying Association dues to the RSF Association. Anything else is “Taxation without representation.” Finally, if owners don’t agree on any voting issue, with your suggestion they will cancel out their votes and then have no vote at all. Where does this make good sense? I try not to be negative, but I really think these massive changes need to be reconsidered to make sure it is equitable to everyone who owns property and pays Association dues in Rancho Santa Fe. Marion B. Dodson

School board members Muir and Salazar’s lame excuses I read with interest San Dieguito school board member Muir’s recent lame excuses for some of her actions as a board member. As a teacher at Canyon Crest Academy, I see the impact every day of being at full capacity for student enrollment. I know an overwhelming number of my district’s teachers remain incredibly concerned with board members Muir and Salazar and their votes SEE LETTERS, A20

FROM SURPLUS, A1 special education after a two-year effort to build local programs that bring students back to the district. San Dieguito’s contribution for special education decreased by $1.9 million due to savings in legal expenses, mediation settlements, non-public agencies, non-public schools and residential treatment center costs as students transition back to district programs. The district has also met the board’s requirement of maintaining a 4.5 percent minimum reserve. The reserve for economic uncertainties is 9.16 percent, in addition to the board’s 4.5 percent requirement. “Our unrestricted reserves are higher than they’ve ever been in terms of dollar amounts. In percentage terms they’re the highest they’ve been since 2001-2002,” Dill said. Dill said looking back the district has had surpluses in eight out of the last 10 years — the only years the district had deficits were coming out of the recession, “the worst economic times that any of us had ever seen.” Recently, the board’s

fiscal responsibility has been questioned by board members as well as members of the public. In June, the district was awarded the Grand Golden Fleece Award by the San Diego Taxpayer Association for its approval of salary increases for staff in 2015 that were projected to cause deficit spending. SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said the reported 15-16 actuals are an example of the great job the district staff does every year. “There have been so many inaccurate, uninformed claims regarding the financial health of this district that I have found to be appalling. Letters have been printed in the press and elsewhere accusing the staff and board majority of bankrupting this district,” Dalessandro said, noting people often do not understand how school financing works or how the budget builds over the course of the school year. “They have no idea how year in and year out, this board majority and our staff create budgets that work, that we are actually incredibly conservative in our expenditures with an understanding that ending balances always change.”

FROM SCHOOL, A1 feel like much to others but it is a big deal to me. So I ask please, please approve SOUL.” SOUL’s co-founders Michael Grimes and Marisa Bruyneel are hoping to open the 7-12th grade school in 2017, with a capacity that would reach 600 students. “Our vision for SOUL is to create and prove a new model of education, one that emphasizes holistic education, connects students to their life’s passion and purpose, and enables them to develop the tools and skills needed to live their best lives,” Bruyneel said. They aim to create a “conscious and intentional culture” on a campus where students feel safe. A typical day includes their unique “Integra” program in which students start the day by setting their intentions and meditating, have a midday focus on self development and an end-of-the-day reflection session. Academics are a combination of experience-based and project-based learning and required electives, including entrepreneurship and essential life skills. Grimes said all of the Common Core State Standards will be mastered and students will be assessed with MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests and

We have seen with dismay Salazar’s efforts before to vote against the taxpayer-approved Prop AA and the incredible infrastructure improvements it continues to bring to the San Dieguito District’s students. Furthermore, in a recent Union-Tribune interview, Salazar actually offered up his reason for continued opposition to Prop AA by stating, “Building new structures doesn’t provide better education.” I wonder if our Canyon Crest parents would agree with him as it is their students who would have been sitting in the school’s parking lot if other board members had not outvoted Salazar’s and Muir’s misguided opposition to these

According to prosecutors, the young girl was interviewed in 2015 — when she was 10 — and described being lured by a man to a shed at Solana Santa Fe Elementary School to look at a “white bunny.” Once the girl was behind the shed, the man grabbed her by the hips, turned her around and tried to remove her pants. The girl screamed and kicked her attacker in the groin. He then ran off. Pfingst said the girl told investigators that her assailant was a man with curly hair and heavy acne all over his face. However, photos of Doshay around that time show him with clear skin, a beard and a

Smarter Balanced Assessment tests like all public schools. The school expects to be fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and its courses University of California approved. “We’re completely dedicated to ensuring the success and happiness of our students, teachers, staff and administration,” Bruyneel said. “We will honorably represent this district and prove a new model of education that will be exceptional in every way.” At the meeting, SOUL got an endorsement from Miles Durfee, managing regional director of the California Charter Schools Association, (CSSA) who has children in the district. His daughter attended Earl Warren and his son loves Pacific Trails Middle School, which Durfee considers a fantastic, innovative, tech-savvy school with engaged teachers. He said the district has “phenomenal” schools of choice, but he was able to have his kids attend them by moving to the area. He said he believes SOUL meets all the legal standards for charter schools and the CSSA has developed a great relationship with Bruyneel and Grimes, whom he finds to have the kind of passion that makes schools great. “I hope we can all work together to see another fantastic choice for

new classrooms. Of course, Salazar’s ignorant statement on “new structures” would be laughable coming from almost anyone else, but these words, spoken by a sitting school board member who professes to represent our parents, students and taxpayers, are not only astonishing, but they demonstrate an uninformed and disconnected judgement on his part. Muir, in her recent letter to this paper, also attempted a public explanation for her misguided votes. She claims that she voted against the classrooms because our district has used the “lease/lease back model” in their construction and said this model was not recommended at a California School Board Association Conference she attended. Unfortunately, a credible source for her claim could not be found. Certainly, the lease/lease back model is a bit complicated, but what is very simple and very clear is that this model is not only

perfectly legal and allowed by California Education Code, it has been used very successfully by San Dieguito and other districts across California. Moreover, the California School Boards Association shared that they have not issued any official recommendation nor advisory telling school districts not to use this model. Also, the CSBA is actually supporting current legislation which will help the lease/lease back model be a more effective tool for California school districts. While our students need new classrooms, for which the taxpayer-supported Prop AA funds are already there, Muir and Salazar deny these classrooms and offer up lame excuses at the expense of our students’ futures. While Muir and Salazar dither, it’s our students who suffer. Shame on them both. Christopher Black Encinitas

mustache. Pfingst said the girl, who was shown a photo line-up, was only able to identify her alleged attacker to a 20 percent probability. “Given the weakness of the identification and the acne issue we believe all of that should have been disclosed to the grand jury. It was not,” Pfingst said. The defense team called two witnesses during the hearing, both detectives from the sheriff’s Encinitas station who were involved in the investigation. Detective Michael Benavides, testified he was asked to contact a former sheriff’s deputy who responded to a call about a young girl being “annoyed” or “molested” at the school on Sept. 7, 2010. The former deputy found that there

wasn’t enough evidence to show that a crime had been committed or for a report to be taken, according to the testimony. That finding was noted as “unfounded” in a computer-aided dispatch report from the day of the incident. Doshay is also accused of kidnapping and other charges related to a March 23 attack last year on a 7-year-old girl outside Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach. Authorities have said that a stranger dressed in baseball clothes approached the girl right after school ended, put packing tape over her mouth and moved her toward a secluded area near the back of the school. The child fought off the assailant. – Dana Littlefield is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

600 students,” Durfee said. In the board’s questions to SOUL, SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro wondered how deeply the charter school had investigated the district’s Sunset High School, a small, continuation school that serves as an alternative to the comprehensive high schools in the district. It is designed to give “extensive help to students in need of more flexibility and individualized attention.” “There’s a lot going in this district and these are schools of choice,” Dalessandro said, noting Sunset seems to achieve many of the goals they have presented. Bruyneel said they are not comparing themselves to SDUHSD schools but offering something different. She said she has not seen the focus that they have in developing the whole child and their Integra program in SDUHSD schools. Bruyneel also said that there were some “alarming statistics” at Sunset in terms of students not performing at their highest. “Having another option only helps meet more students’ needs, Grimes said. The board also voiced concerns about the math curriculum and meeting state standards, the enrollment process, funding and the school location. Trustee John Salazar

asked how the school will handle special needs students with a relatively small budget. Grimes said the math curriculum being developed will specifically meet the state standards and noted that it is illegal for charters to have admissions requirements. As far as funding, they plan to launch a crowd-sourcing campaign in October and are eying the Pacific View property as a potential location. Grimes said for their budget, they are working with Charter School Management Corporation as their “back-office provider” for financial management and operations expertise. One Encinitas resident, Justin Stockton, had questions about whether project-based experiential learning is achievable in large segments and also had concerns about the school’s “spiritual” side —after seeing the “brouhaha” created by yoga in the elementary school, he wondered about the legal challenges and the potential litigation with a school that takes that approach with public dollars. Bruyneel said they have moved away from using the highly-charged word “spiritual” in their petition and have changed it to “personal development.” She said the school is in no way religious. She also noted that their class sizes will be small at a 25:1 ratio.

Tony Ricciuti, an Encinitas native who has 24 years of experience in education, praised the school for what they are trying to accomplish. “It breaks my heart everyday when kids come to middle school and they’ve already been beaten. They tell you ‘I’m stupid’ or ‘I don’t know things’ and it makes me want to cry,” Ricciuti said. “I’ve been trying to do the things they’re talking about doing within the public education system…I hope San Dieguito will open your arms and welcome them. If they don’t, somebody will.” Robert MacPhee, an Encinitas speaker and facilitator who helps colleges and high schools like San Dieguito through his” Excellent Decisions” program, also complimented SOUL for the conversation they are starting. “Our young people are going out into an environment where they are faced with incredible stress and pressure,” MacPhee said, noting students need to develop a strong sense of self to make decisions about issues such as binge drinking, drugs, bullying, sex and, as they heard that night, suicide. “What I’ve seen is that the students with the strongest sense of self, who really know who they are in addition to having all the academic skills, are the ones who are truly thriving.”

Falcons soar over Wildcats BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines defeated El Camino 7-3 with the defense denying a touchdown to a dangerous Wildcat offense. Running out of the shotgun, Wildcat QB Christian Betz would run, pass, or block for Chris Brown and Marcus Parsons, and big plays were always a risk. Time and again a swarming Falcon defense would make a big tackle ending a Wildcat drive and forcing a punt or field goal try. Special mention goes to Gabe Gmyr, Andre Mieiers, Ty Helfrich, Mac Bingham, Louis Bickett, Kevin Misak, Michael Perrone, and Jacob Schneider. The first quarter was a punting duel with no score as the Falcons turned the ball over on downs deep in Wildcat territory twice, and the Wildcats turned it over once. In the second quarter Luke Duerr juked would-be tacklers for 14 yards and a first down. Then, as defenders took a fake to Duerr, Sully O’Brien streaked 63 yards for the game’s only

The second half opened with a 25-yard pass from Miles Hastings to Michael Gadinas, and a 22-yard run by Scotty Gange, but the threat ended on a Falcon fumble loss. The Wildcats came back, converting on 4th down and driving to the Falcon 14 where Perrone batted down a pass and they had to settle for a field goal. Neither team could move the ball well after that until Torrey Pines took over at their 22 with 5:11 remaining.

We have to be in order to survive.” Through the work exchange, he volunteered in places such as an eco-lodge and in the garden of a permaculture and healing community in Costa Rica. He kept a journal of his experiences throughout his trip. Heilbrunn said his biggest day on his trip was after he met Arnulfo Oxlaj, a human rights activist who founded the nonprofit Amor, which provides support to communities of Guatemala devastated by genocide and extreme poverty. Oxlaj devotes his time to traveling to these remote mountain villages to provide food, education, shelter and healing for the sick through natural medicine. Oxlaj took Heilbrunn to one of the poor villages he serves, Tsunama, where many of the children are orphans and have nothing; some sleep in coffee plants. Heilbrunn had brought a bunch of stickers with him on his journey and handed them out to the children — it was amazing to him that something so small and insignificant could create such joy. He had an “a-ha” moment. “I realized any person can make a difference in someone else’s life. The fact that a few stickers created such bliss in these children’s lives sent a powerful message to my soul,” Heilbrunn said. “We have limitless potential to make a positive impact on the lives of others.” Later that afternoon he met a cacao shaman who guided him and fellow travelers in a meditation using the pure, raw chocolate. During the meditation, they were encouraged to smile and feel the effects of the cacao. He admits he thought the smile was cheesy at first but then he had a vision, another “a-ha” moment, that he would write his book. In “Off the Beaten Trail,” he covers his experiences, his lessons learned about triumph over tragedy and pursuing a life that makes you happy.

Annual operating costs to produce about 240 acre feet of recycled water – or approximately 78 million gallons – are $161,000, plus annual debt service of $457,000 for the initial capital investment. Potential sources of funding – and the division of costs among the organizations – are yet to be determined, said Mike Bardin, general manager of the Santa Fe Irrigation District, which provides water to Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. “We’re in the conceptual stage,” Bardin said. However, he said, he has been keeping his board members apprised of the progress of discussions between the three organizations, and they have been supportive. “We’re getting the sense the board is saying keep going,” he said. It’s possible he could come back with a formal agreement for the board to consider by next summer, with the system actually in operation within three years, Bardin said. The golf club would also like to have an alternative water source in place within two to three years, said Al Castro, the club’s general manager. The club established an ad hoc committee to explore alternatives to the use of potable water for golf course irrigation 18 months ago, Castro said, and remains “100 percent committed” to the concept. “If all the pieces can come together, we’re very excited about the prospect of the golf course being irrigated with recycled water,” Castro said. “There’s a lot of

It’s about finding a way to turn suffering into a positive force and finding light in the darkness. “It’s in the pursuit of our dreams and passions, not the destination, where we find personal fulfillment and inner peace,” Heilbrunn said. Getting the book out is the truly the beginning, Heilbrunn said, noting he sees himself doing more traveling and more public speaking which he has a real passion for. He would love to get involved with an organization that offers students a “gap year,” encouraging young adults to allow themselves the time for important personal development and to travel — he strongly believes that through travel students can gain compassion, empathy and understanding, which creates a more conscious global culture. There is so much pressure to be successful, he said, he would love to alter what society believes is successful, what circumstances are right and wrong. “Life is an endless journey,” he writes in the book. “Every experience that we have is simply a lesson in the grand scheme of things. There is no right or wrong.

potential for this to take a lot of acre feet of potable water and make it available back to Santa Fe Irrigation District” if this project moves forward, he said. Much work remains before the recycled water can begin to flow. The Community Services District, which treats wastewater from the Rancho Santa Fe area, would have to upgrade its treatment plant to a tertiary level of treatment, and also needed would be a pumping station, pipelines and storage tanks, said Bardin. Recycled water is produced by treating wastewater three times, allowing it to be used for such purposes as turf and landscape irrigation. The Community Services District would be able to provide about 241-acre feet of recycled water annually, based on the amount of wastewater it treats, meaning that an additional 45-acre feet of potable water would still be needed by the golf course, which uses 285-acre feet per year, according to the Santa Fe staff report. An acre foot is enough water to sustain two families of four for one year, or 325,900 gallons. Another issue that remains to be worked out, said Bardin and Castro, is how the Community Services District would dispose of brine, or excess salt, removed from the water during treatment. One option is contracting with the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, a wastewater treatment agency. A representative of the Community Services District did not respond by press-time to a voice message seeking comment. Currently, the Santa Fe Irrigation District provides about 550-acre feet per year of recycled water to the western portion of its service area, including Solana Beach,

If the proposed project moves forward, that would bring the district’s total to 800-acre feet annually, roughly 8 percent of the 10,000-acre feet of water it provides to customers each year. Officials said that if the Rancho Santa Fe golf course project is completed, it could be the first step in providing recycled water to other properties in Rancho Santa Fe, including large privately owned parcels. At its meeting on Thursday, the Santa Fe board also approved, on a 4-0 vote, with director Augie Daddi absent, the establishment of an agricultural rate for commercial growers in its service area. The agricultural rate would apply to those customers who generate at least $1,000 per year in sales of agricultural commodities. In order to receive the agricultural rate, customers with groves on their residential properties would be required to install a sub-meter, and report the amount of water used for agricultural purposes. The rest of the water they use would be billed at residential rates. In a letter to the district, Chuck Badger, who manages groves for residents of Rancho Santa Fe and other communities, estimated that the new rate would save growers about $400 per year for each acre of land used for agricultural purposes. Jessica Parks, a Santa Fe spokeswoman, said the district has identified about 162 customers with agricultural operations on their property, accounting for about 3 percent of the total demand for water by district customers.

and teachers out of the fundraising business.” It’s an insult to ask – nay, beg – parents for money for every little thing when so much has been provided for salary increases. Before anything else, when allocating “extra” revenue, the district should place at the top of its list science lab supplies, classroom instructional materials and other minor one-time expenses that directly and positively impact student learning and well-being. Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

The arming plugs on the exterior allow internal batteries to hook up to computers that activate the bomb. On the Enola Gay, Dick Jeppson was the 23-year-old in charge of climbing into the bomb bay and removing the green plug and installing the red one. Green for safety and red for armed. Perkins purchased one of the green plugs taken out of Little Boy in an auction as well as one of the extra red-arming plugs that was aboard the plane. He keeps the plugs in a safe place but will pull them out for special visitors — the plugs sit in a box with an autographed photo of Jeppson on the plane, as well as a yellowed card signed by Jeppson on Aug. 7, 1945 on Tinian Island confirming the plug had been on “the first atomic bomb ever used in the history of the world.” As a scientist, Perkins can explain how the bomb works — how wires at the top detach from

the plane and start an internal clock, internal barometers sense pressure and altitude and radars detect when to detonate. “It’s a very intricate, complicated thing. It was a marvel of scientific work,” Perkins said. As a historian, he can appreciate what the difficult decision to use the bomb meant —“The result was the war ended early.” More troops were scheduled to invade Japan that fall and the Hiroshima bombing meant 500,000 to 700,000 lives were saved, he said. The bombing allowed the emperor to say that Japan must surrender because the enemy had an “overwhelming weapon.” “The most important thing was between two to three million Japanese people were saved by ending the war early,” Perkins said. “More cities would have been destroyed by bombs.”

San Diego International Film Festival back Sept. 28 through Oct. 2 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Celebrating the year’s best independent cinema from emerging and established filmmakers around the world, San Diego International Film Festival is back bigger and better than ever before — with a new name. Although the film festival has always highlighted regional, national and international filmmakers, the word “international” is now officially part of the festival’s name. “We’ve always had a strong international film lineup, but this year even more so,” said Tonya Mantooth, executive and artistic director of San Diego International Film Festival. “We felt like it was an important time for us to transition because that’s truly who we are. We receive films from 65 countries.” Produced by the San Diego Film Foundation, the 15th annual film festival runs Sept. 28 through Oct. 2 and features nearly 100 films at two festival villages. This year’s lineup features 95 films, including six gala films, 20 narrative competition films, six narrative spotlight films, nine documentary competition films, five documentary spotlight films, and 49 short films. Screenings will be held in the newly-renovated historic Balboa Theatre and Regal Theaters in downtown San Diego, as well as ArcLight Cinemas in La Jolla. “It’s always really exciting,” Mantooth said. “You’ve got different films and different activities and events going on every year.” The selection process started in February. There were more than 2,000 entries this

Last year's film festival. year. About 70 screeners were selected to view the films. Every film is viewed twice, Mantooth said, and based on the rankings, selected films moved forward to the next step, where they were viewed again. “We begin to identify the best of our features, the best of our documentaries, the best of our short films,” she said. “We make our selections from there.” As executive and artistic director of the film festival, Mantooth screens every film. This year she started reviewing films in February. Since then, she has logged about 350 hours of screening time.

JASON DE ALBA

“I see every single one of them,” she said. “When I program the festival, I really try to give our audience a really broad spectrum of films to consider.” San Diego International Film Festival opens Sept. 28 with the Opening Night Film & After Party at Balboa Theatre. The Night of the Stars Tribute is set to take place the following day on Sept. 29 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. Co-hosted by film critics Jeffrey Lyons and Ben Lyons, the event honors some of the industry’s most accomplished actors, directors and filmmakers. This year’s

honorees include four-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening. She will receive the Gregory Peck Award for Excellence in Cinema. “We are super excited for our celebrity tribute this year,” Mantooth said. Leading the festival lineup are gala presentation screenings, which include Mick Jackson’s “Denial” starring Rachel Weisz, Pedro Almodóvar’s “Julieta” starring Adriana Ugarte, Kevin Pollak’s “The Late Bloomer” with Britany Snow, Maria Bello and J.K. Simmons, “Citizen Soldier,” from directors David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud, and “Trespass Against Us” with Michael Fassbender, Brendan Gleeson and Rory Kinnear. “Everybody will find something that they will enjoy,” Mantooth said. “We’ve got some great gala films that star some terrific actors.” The lineup also includes “Po,” a film starring young Del Mar actor Julian Feder. Based on a true story, the film follows a single working dad who cares for his autistic sixth-grade son. The film will be screened at 7 p.m. Oct. 1 at ArcLight Cinemas and at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 2 at Geoffrey Theater. “‘Po’ was a film that really was near and dear to my heart,” Mantooth said. “It was handled with real honesty and real grace.” Passes and individual tickets are currently on sale. In addition to screenings and events, passes provide access to the official festival lounge and parties where pass holders interact with festival filmmakers and professionals in the film community.

‘Shop for a Cause’ in RSF Sept. 25 to support veterans BY KAREN BILLING A Shop for a Cause fundraiser supporting the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) will be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club (17025 Avenida de Acacias, RSF) on Sunday, Sept. 25 from 3 to 6 p.m. The event will feature 16 independent distributors for the women’s and children’s clothing line LuLaRoe. The benefit for veterans and military families was organized by Michelle Storm, who is the daughter of the late Gordy Bartow, a longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident, and Susan Bartow. “I am a military spouse and anything veterans-oriented is very close to my heart,” said Storm. “The VFW helped me out in my time of need when my husband was deployed, so I felt that it’s my turn to give back to them.” LuLaRoe clothing is not available in stores or on a company website — LuLaRoe consultants, such as Storm, sell clothing out

GYROTONIC Solana Beach welcomes all ages and abilities GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS exercises help people gain increased strength and flexibility After a career-ending injury, former professional ice skater Victoria Bilyeu turned to the GYROTONIC Method for help. Through the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM, the San Diego native was able to rehabilitate her injury without surgery. Since then, Bilyeu has helped share the benefits of the GYROTONIC Method with others, now through her Solana Beach studio. “Through my journey I have found GYROTONIC to be the only modality out there that makes your body better with age or time spent,” said Bilyeu, owner of GYROTONIC Solana Beach. “True Restorative strengthening movement patterns. The bonus is body acceptance and presence.” Created by Romanian-born Hungarian Juliu Horvath, the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM is a holistic approach to movement that is designed to meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities. Whether healthy or recovering from illness or injury, GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS exercises help people gain increased strength and flexibility, renewed energy, and a general sense of calm and well being, according to

the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM website. The GYROTONIC Method utilizes specially-designed exercise equipment to accommodate the natural movement patterns of the human body, while the GYROKINESIS Method consists of chair and floor exercises. Both incorporate key principles also found in Yoga, Tai Chi, gymnastics and dance. “GYROTONIC is based on creating restorative movement in all the joints,” said Bilyeu, pointing to the Pulley Tower, just one of the award-winning machines available at her studio that she noted is the only weighted machine that gives users resistance training in 360 degrees for every joint. Each piece of specialized equipment has its own unique features and functions, providing an extensive range of exercise options. “From the first session on, you feel a difference,” said Loretta Morris, who has been working with Bilyeu for more than three years. “It just gets better.” Morris has lived with chronic pain most of

her life. She has had knee surgery and neck surgery, and, recently, has been recovering from an ankle injury. “I have 90 percent less pain because my core strength is strong and my big muscles are working to do what they’re supposed to

be doing to alleviate the joints,” Morris said. “It’s a whole body thing so that everything works in unison and properly — the way it’s supposed to.” Bilyeu has worked in the health and fitness industry for more than two decades. She previously served as a master Pilates instructor and figure skating instructor and coach in Colorado. Bilyeu discovered the benefits of the GYROTONIC Method by taking a class after her career-ending ice skating injury. Through her work with the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM, she was able to correct her femur bone without surgery. “From one day to the next, it changed,” Bilyeu said. A certified GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS teacher-trainer, Bilyeu has been teaching the GYROTONIC Method since 2008. She previously worked with Olympic ice skaters, dancers, athletes and everyday individuals at her GYROTONIC studio in Colorado for more than seven years before returning to San Diego in 2013 and opening her Solana Beach studio.

Kern & Company design firm takes over RSF Village vacancy BY KAREN BILLING There are lots of adjectives Rancho Santa Fe interior designer Susan Spath would use to describe the look of Kern & Company — distinctive, elegant, contemporary and sophisticated — and now, local. Spath opened the doors on her new Rancho Santa Fe Village digs on Sept. 11, taking over the space left vacant by John Matty Co. Kern & Company, marked by a gold butterfly logo on the corner of Paseo Delicias and La Granada, is a “premier destination” for high-end furnishing and full-service interior design. Spath has been in her Solana Beach location on Cedros Avenue for 25 years and she hopes she can bring a little of the Cedros spirit to the village. “I drive by everyday and it’s so sad that’s there’s no stores,” Spath said. “I really think the town needs a lot more going on, it’s gotten so sleepy here.” At Kern & Company, they do custom furniture, upholstery, window treatments, lighting, rugs, accessories, as well as complete kitchen and bath designs. The contemporary design firm’s services also include architectural planning and design, plumbing selection, ceiling design, tile and

The company has done homes all over the city, but also does a lot of work out of San Diego as well,

such as second homes in Salt Lake City and Palm Beach. “We build homes from the ground up,” Spath said. “The most fun part is all of the beautiful things we put in a home that makes it what a home should be, somewhere that you want to

KAREN BILLING

spend time in.” Spath has a master’s degree in business administration and economics but she was always more artistically-driven — interior design proved to be a perfect fit. She treats design as a budget, creates a full overview and works

backward so costs never get out of hand with add-ons at the end of a project. Kern & Company has over 20 employees and four of her designers have been with her for 17 years or more. Spath will keep the larger, spacious showroom on Cedros along with the village shop. “This is like our jewelry box,” she said of the smaller spot. As Spath loves reinventing spaces, she didn’t skimp on the former John Matty space — she put in all new chevron French oak floors, leaving some of the jewelry store’s marble flooring as an accent. She took out the wallpaper and the white walls are now covered in unique art that pops with color. Pillows are carefully arranged on furniture upholstered in luxe fabrics and lamps, candles and statement-making decor. “I hope it will become a destination place in the village for people to come in for things like beautiful hostess gifts and presents,” Spath said. “This is such a picturesque place, I would love to see us get back to a little more retail and get people using the village again.” For more information, visit www.kerncodesigns.com

SDA boys water polo benefit event to help fund pool rental The San Dieguito High School Academy boys water polo team is holding its annual Parents’ Night Out fundraiser at Cardiff Beach Bar @ Tower 13 on Friday, Sept. 30, from 7 to 11 p.m. A San Dieguito Academy Foundation sponsored event, the fundraiser will feature live music by Echophonic, a local cover band, starting at 8 p.m. Proceeds will help fund pool rental for the team. Cardiff Beach Bar @ Tower 13 is supporting the team. In addition to providing the talented band, they are donating a percentage of food sales to the SDA boys water polo team. This, coupled with a suggested $15 donation at the door, should go a long way in helping the team. Fundraising is essential for the water polo team. “None of the schools in our district have pools, so we all have to rent pool space,” said Tammy Dahl, SDA boy water polo team fundraising chair. “Pool rental is our largest expense. This is our first event at Tower 13. We are excited to partner with them and are grateful for their support.” Echophonic will take the stage at 8 p.m. and rock the crowd until 11 p.m. They perform classic rock favorites with a touch of the blues, as well as a selection of newer favorites. Echophonic’s powerful and soulful female lead vocals mix with male lead and backup vocals, creating a unique sound and

dynamic performance that’s sure to bring the crowd to their feet. Formed in 2010 by members of various local San Diego classic rock and blues bands, Echophonic regularly performs at events all around San Diego County. “We are so excited to have such wonderful athletes and coaches at SDA, and appreciate an extraordinary group of supportive parents,” said Sharon Conger, a boys water polo team parent. “Our unique program not only builds strong athletes, but also encourages strong character development through community service. “We really appreciate Tower 13’s generosity and are looking forward to a great night of food, music and fun with Echophonic.” Valet parking is complimentary. Cardiff Beach Bar @ Tower 13 is located at 2633 South Coast Highway 101 in Cardiff. For more information, visit www.tower13.com.

Chabad marks Jewish New Year

habad Rancho Santa Fe celebrated the high holiday of Rosh Hashanah, Jewish New Year, with a “Shofar Factory” on Sept. 13. Children made their own traditional shofars out of ram’s horns; sounding the handmade instrument is meant to symbolize a wake-up call for the new year. The children also ate apple slices dipped in honey and other sweet things to symbolize a “sweet new year.”

Sounding the shofars.

Dear San Diego Homeowner, Hi, I’m Kent Harle, CEO of Stellar Solar and I am so excited to be extending our offer for solar priced at a level that is within reach of most homeowners! We are now cutting the standard cost of solar by more than 30%. We’ve priced solar so low in fact, that if you talk to our competition, they are going to say there is a catch or that it is subpar product. There is NO catch and the product is LG Panels paired with SolarEdge inverters and it includes monitoring. There are a few restrictions, but I believe that most of you that call will be able to take full advantage of this offer and that is what I want. I have already received calls asking why we dropped the price so much. We didn’t have to, we wanted to. It is our commitment to continue to improve processes and drive down costs for our customers so that solar is a viable option for decades to come. Call us today for a quick, easy, no-hassle quote.

Clothing drive at TRE Agatha Christie's 'The Mousetrap' coming Boutique to support to The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep domestic violence victims Community Resource Center is partnering with TRE Boutique to collect gently-used clothing to support victims of domestic violence. Now through Oct. 5, TRE is accepting donations at its stores in Del Mar, Encinitas and Pacific Highlands Ranch. The donations will directly benefit domestic violence survivors, many of whom have fled from abusive situations with only the clothes they were wearing. Community Resource Center is North County’s leading provider of domestic violence services. Every month, the center receives more than 200 crisis calls on its domestic violence hotline. In 2015, the center received 2,454 such calls. “We appreciate TRE Boutique working with us to make a generous donation and to draw attention toward this very serious issue,” said Rebecca Palmer, CRC’s director of programs. Donations are tax-deductible and donors can receive a 15 percent discount for one new item from TRE in exchange for

their gift of used clothing. On Oct. 6, TRE Boutique is hosting a shopping party at its Del Mar store, in Flower Hill Promenade, from 2 to 7 p.m. Fifteen percent of sales will benefit domestic violence victims. “I’m so pleased that a family-run business has joined hands with one of the county’s strongest social service partners,” said County Supervisor Dave Roberts. “One in 4 women will be victims of domestic violence or abuse in their lifetimes. Every day, Community Resource Center provides comfort to families impacted by domestic violence.” For store locations, visit www.treboutique.com. Visit the Community Resource Center Web site at www.crcncc.org. Located in Encinitas, California, Community Resource Center (CRC) is a 501 (c) (3) charitable tax-exempt organization whose mission is “to provide families in need and victims of domestic violence with safety, stability and a path to self-sufficiency”

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep will present “The Mousetrap” by Agatha Christie Oct. 6-9. The longest running show in history, “The Mousetrap,” is arguably Agatha Christie’s best, spine-tingling, who-dunnit. Who doesn’t love a murder mystery? In this play, everyone is a suspect and a potential victim. Set in the dead of winter, 1952, at the Great Hall of Monkswell Manor, a group of people find themselves stuck in a house where murder lurks around every corner. As each guest is introduced, the audience begins to see that each character is more suspicious than the next. “I’m thrilled by the melodrama style of this murder mystery,” said Director Ben Cole. “The characters are outrageous and their eccentricities tickle your spine as the audience tries to figure out who the killer is. Everyone in the show has a secret! Watching them creep around to discover what’s really the truth makes the show a fun and suspenseful ride from start to finish.” To purchase tickets and for show times, call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,358,718.61 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (800) 758 – 8052 CLEAR RECON CORP. 4375 Jutland Drive Suite 200 San Diego, California 92117.

What to Expect During Your Home Build Throughout this column, we’ve discussed the various steps of the building process, from finding your contractor and building your team to the selection of your finish materials. As we wrap up this series, I want to list a few key elements of the process to help you avoid any surprises during the construction of your home. Keep in mind: Some contractors and builders can help you with the design, while others want you to come in with plans. Each builder will have a different style or specialty, but just because some builders don’t design doesn’t mean they won’t deliver on the final product. However, you

do want your contractor to be fully licensed, bonded and insured. If you have a chance to see examples of their finished projects, this can help you make a confident decision. When making a plan with your builder and staying involved throughout the construction process, you can still expect surprises. Have you ever heard the phrase “expect the unexpected”? This phrase certainly applies to building a house. The best way to plan for the unexpected is to know the general ins and outs of the building process. Here is a list of considerations and potential areas for surprise. Construction Loans If you apply for a construction loan, you’ll have to have copies of the floor plans and specs from your builder or architect so the mortgage lender can appraise the home to determine how much they will lend. It’s common to make a down payment, or a personal guarantee, and the sum can be significant. Also, keep in mind that the appraisal and credit checks will come with fees, as well as title insurance on the land and homeowner’s insurance.

The Budget Cushion It’s always best to have a full budget in mind with plenty of cushion. This is especially true for those taking out a home construction loan. It’s not uncommon for projects to go over budget (this is why we recommend to have a contingency built in between 10% to 15%). An experienced builder will factor in the budget allowances of design elements such as cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixtures. However, these allowances do not always account for homes with many custom and high-end features and addons. I recommend discussing with your construction team the level of finishes you expect so they can input the proper allowances for your taste. It would also be smart to provide examples of the quality of work and styles of finishes you’re expecting. Quality Builders All builders are not of the same quality. Some lower-end builders will have lower allowances to make their bid seem more affordable. What you don’t want is for your builder to skimp on the important foundational and structural elements of

your home, compromising the house’s integrity. This tends to happen more with less-experienced and less-reputable builders. This is why researching your team and seeing the quality of previous projects is vital. The best way to stick to your budget is having a detailed set of plans to bid from. The more information on the plans the more accurate your bid will be. This will help the project to stay on budget with fewer surprises. You generally pay for the work completed in a weekly or bi-weekly installments, based on the work completed to date. Be mindful of contractors who try to front load a project, and always ask for the backup documents. Permits and Other Fees You may be aware of some of the permit fees your project will require (most people are aware of building permits, for instance).
