Scripps Health Foundation presents ‘Light Up a Life’ Family members and friends of current and former hospice care patients were invited to honor their loved ones during the Scripps Health Foundation’s second annual Light Up a Life tree-lighting event Dec. 10. The fundraising event was held in the Capella at The Grand Del Mar. At the event, people who donated $100 received a candle votive to hang on a 9-foot holiday tree in memory of their loved one. Those who donated $1,000 were given the opportunity to include a photo in a looping slide presentation along with a message. Proceeds from the event will benefit Scripps Hospice, which provides comprehensive care to patients with a serious, life-limiting illness, and emotional, social and spiritual support for their family members.

Josefas Cocina Mexicana opens in La Jolla BY KELLEY CARLSON uan Carlos Gomez’s family of restaurants has a new addition. Josefas Cocina Mexicana (which joins eateries El Agave, Iberico Spanish Bistro and Mola Gastro Bar) opened mid-Septmber in the Village of La Jolla. “We are excited to be in La Jolla and bring our culinary innovation to this beautiful city,” said Executive Chef Omar Ramirez in a news release. “This new concept is a treat for both us, and those who visit our eclectic kitchen.” The indoor setting is vibrant and whimsical, while on the outdoor patio, guests are treated to views of Prospect Street and a glimpse of the nearby ocean. As they pore over the menu, they will discover an abundance of selections, and according to General Manager Luis Cardenas, the fare touches upon all regions of Mexico. Many patrons will kick off their visit with one of the handcrafted margaritas. The top of the line is the Cadillac Margarita, a powerful and smooth blend of El Agave Artesanal Reposado, lime and orange juice

There’s also the spicy Apocalypto Margarita with serrano-infused tequila and tamarind nectar for a hint of sweetness. Josefas offers antojitos (street food) such as sopes, which are essentially Mexican pizzas with toppings like sautéed shrimp with chorizo, and achiote citrus stewed shredded pork. Another choice is the tostada — mini corn tortillas piled with shredded
chicken in a smoky tomato sauce, beans, lettuce, sour cream and pickled onions. For patrons in the mood for several courses, they can start with one of several types of ceviches, or perhaps the zesty Pulpo Loreto Style, a bowl filled with octopus pieces sautéed in chile-infused oil, with pico de gallo and avocado dressing. When it comes to the main course, there’s everything from salads, tacos and tortas, to burritos, enchiladas and fajitas, ranging from vegetarian varieties to entrees beefed up with steak, chicken and seafood. One that combines the best of everything is the Molcajete Cielo, Mar y Tierra, a sizzling centerpiece of food with cactus paddles, shrimp, rib eye and ranch-style chorizo draped over the sides of a hot stone mortar. The bowl is filled with a choice of spicy red tomato salsa or green tomatillo, and the strips can be piled onto corn tortillas. Desserts include Homemade Ice Cream and Flan de Queso, a cheese custard topped with caramel sauce and manchego cheese, and accented with berries, apple slices and candied walnuts.

Lecture series to explore 17th century Dutch art
FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla will present “17th Century Dutch Art,� a new five-part series by art historian Linda Blair, 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Jan. 12-Feb. 12 in the music room, 1008 Wall St. It is not an overstatement to refer to this period in Dutch art as the Golden Age, for it is one of the most glorious eras in Western art, Blair attests. In the space of just three generations, tiny Holland bursts forth with genius — Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals and many other brilliant, innovative artists — and then, having done so, wearily sinks back, never to do so again. (Van
Gogh did not achieve his mature vision until Paris). In addition, the Golden Age was uniquely innovative: true landscape painting is conceived; still-life paintings acquire new, expressive language; and the first genre art is created. Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is limited. Tickets for the series are $60 for Athenaeum members and $85 for the public. Individual lectures are $14/$19. Reservations at (858) 4545872 or ljathenaeum.org/ lectures •Jan. 15: The first class will examine Dutch economic, political and religious factors seeking clues to explain why such artistic
genius flourished in this time and place. An overarching factor is 17th century Holland’s uniqueness within the European experience. Its long, ultimately victorious war of independence from Spain freed the Dutch from the only power structures Europe had ever known — king and church. A solid middle class emerged and was quickly fortified by the immense riches of its maritime empire, and, lacking sufficient land to build vast estates, and admonished by Calvinist stricture against ostentation, sublimated its wealth into art patronage. •Jan. 22: An in-depth look at the paintings the
Dutch loved to see on their walls: landscapes, evocations of a land dearly wrested from the oppressive rule of Spain and from the sea; still lifes, from glorious floral bouquets sparkling with butterflies to dour skulls and smoking candles; and genre painting, the latter evidence of a people able to laugh at themselves and their foibles. •Jan. 29: A meditation on Jan Vermeer, an artist today celebrated in literature and movies, but after his death forgotten until the 1850s, when a French art critic stumbled upon a masterpiece (“View of Delftâ€?) by a mysterious artist he thought might be named Meer, and devoted the rest of his life to searching out more “Meers.â€? •Feb. 5: When the young Rembrandt arrives in Amsterdam in 1631, he is not only ambitious, but, judging from his self -portraits of that period, brash and cocky, confident of his artistic power. Determined to prove that he was the equal of the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens (recognized by all Europe as the
Vermeer’s crystalline cubes of light-filled space and masterful reflections make him one of the most revered of painters. Courtesy photo greatest artist of the age), Rembrandt paints in Rubens’ Baroque style. But a decade later, Rembrandt realizes that despite the drama and theatrical lighting effects of Baroque art — characteristics he will retain — he needs to seek a different, more profound, art. •Feb. 12: In his last years, buffeted by grievous personal and financial losses, Rembrandt turns inward; the cockiness of youth yields to a tragic vision of age and loss. Western art has never experienced such magnificent examinations of what it is to be human.

Village Mill rises to occasion with new Del Mar Highlands store • New site marks 20th year in baking business for couple
BY KAREN BILLING Village Mill Bread Company has been a part of the Carmel Valley community for more than 19 years, specializing in fresh and friendly. The bakery’s owners, the joyful husband and wife team of Parker and Sandra Pike, will celebrate their 20-year anniversary in Del Mar Highlands Town Center in 2015 in their brand-new location between Jamba Juice and GameStop. “This is the most fun we’ve ever had,” Parker said. In the past six weeks since their move from a site near the former Barnes & Noble, they have seen increased foot traffic. New customers are just finding out what they’re all about, and the old customers express great happiness in finding them again. “I have customers come in who I’ve known forever, sharing their stories with us,” Sandra said. “If we were in it for the money, we would have left long ago, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about the community … the children that came in as little ones eating sugar cookies who now come in and apply for a job.” In the morning hours, Sandra has her “moms” manning the shop; but in the afternoons, she has her teens whom she loves like they’re her own. She’s sad when they go off to college, but proud she was able to help them learn about customer service and watch them take great care in their work, whether it’s packaging loaves or carefully decorating a sugar cookie. Opening a bakery was a dream that Sandra didn’t know she had. After being recruited for a job in Wisconsin, she moved there from San Diego. When her brother came for a visit, she took him on a tour of her town. Without realizing it, she had taken him to eight different bakeries, telling him what each did well, what each could improve. Her brother gave her a valuable tip: “You should be doing this.” When she returned to San Diego, she started scouting places and met Parker, who would become her partner in business and marriage for the next 19 years. “I kind of knew what she was getting into,” said Parker, who has a background in marketing and who has also taught marketing at UC San Diego Extension for the past 28 years. “You couldn’t stop me, could you?” Sandra asked. Working side by side all these years, they have a playful and loving rapport. Each jokingly claims to be the boss — Sandra says Parker is the creative one, and she’s the one who always has to rein him in. While the bakery has become a part of their marriage, they have sworn not to talk business when they’re at home. Parker has lived in Carmel Valley for 30 years and the couple now live in a place just six blocks from the bakery. While they don’t come in as early as the baking crew that arrives at 10 p.m. and bakes into the morning, they spend about 16 to 18 hours a day at Village Mill.
Parker and Sandra Pike show off their challah bread as well as a variety of holiday cookies (dreidels, snowmen and trees). The Pikes have been in Del Mar Highlands for almost 20 years. They recently moved the Village Mill Bread Company to a new location at the center between Jamba Juice and GameStop. Photo by Karen Billing “We’re very hands-on, and that’s what’s made it so fun,” Parker said. The pair loves to be “eyeball to eyeball” with the customers, and said it’s in their DNA to really listen to what the customers want and need — it’s how their business has been able to grow and last. When Del Mar Highlands launched its recent renovation effort, the management offered Village Mill a space in its newly acquired Beachside Del Mar center on Mango Drive. See MILL, page B19

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Attorney offers hands-on, at-home approach for delicate estate situations
BY DIANE Y. WELCH Dale Fields Rhett has built a solid reputation on going above and beyond for her clients. Like a general practitioner in a bygone time when doctors made house calls, Rhett, an estate planning and trust attorney, will work with her clients in the comfort of their own homes. Her hands-on concierge approach sets her apart from others and stems from an understanding of the needs of clients who may be elderly, have small children, are homebound because of disability or simply prefer not to go to an office, she said. “It’s something that I am able to offer to my clients, and they do find it very relaxing. They like being on their own turf with all their papers; it’s a lot more convenient for them,” Rhett said. She developed this concierge approach about four years ago. Working closely with her clients, she is able to look at the unique challenges associated with their estates and find the piece of the puzzle that helps her to present at least two different options for them to use. And by delving into the details of each case, she discovers innovative solutions. Estate planning affects the whole family, so it is important to maximize a strategy to protect the assets for the heirs, said Rhett. For example, looking ahead, Medicare nursing home fees may be taken out of an estate after a Medicare recipient’s death. “People 55 and older have the possibility of having the estate come back on them for these costs,” said Rhett. This possibility should be addressed during the estate planning and thus avoided at their passing. In 2015, the exclusion for estate tax purposes is $5.43 million. Any unused portion of this exclusion may be transferred to a surviving spouse, but the time frame is short during which the IRS must be informed of this election.
Dale Fields Rhett “People are generally surprised to hear about this tax benefit,” said Rhett. And they are often also surprised to learn that paying college tuition for their children or their grandchildren can also help reduce estate taxes. Additionally, Rhett works with foreign nationals who wish to invest in property in the U.S. Ineligible for this maximum estate tax exclusion, their needs are unique.
Therefore, how they purchase real estate is extremely important, and planning to avoid some of these very high taxes is Rhett’s area of expertise. “I aid foreign nationals (to) get investor visas, and I help them to take title to property in the appropriate way and ensure that they know who is going to receive that property when they pass away,” she said. Rhett, a graduate of Washington and Lee University School of Law, started practicing in 1996. In addition to estate planning, she also aids clients with adoptions and prenuptial agreements and focuses on nonlitigation. She also assists those who have disabled adult children or minor children in need of spendthrift trusts. For each client, Rhett’s focus is on a custom solution to meet their needs in passing on assets to family members. “I take the time to explore all the different options and possibilities and explain it in detail to my cli-
ent to help them make their own choice,” she explained. Dale Field Rhett’s office is at 12526 High Bluff Drive, Suite 300, San Diego (Carmel Valley). Call 858-381-5292 for information or to sched-
ule an appointment. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

The facts behind fat reducing treatments. The choices for fat reducing technologies are plentiful. This article sheds some light on the various options in this very large aesthetic field. Brands such as Prollipo and Lipolite, as well as the Smartlipo Triplex, use fiberoptic delivery of high-powered, infra-red laser energy to destroy the fat cells following extraction of the debris by cannula. Local anesthesia is used and strong analgesia is provided for pain during recovery. Side effects include discomfort, edema, and bruising lasting 1-3 weeks. Significant complications such as bleeding, infection and burns are also a consideration. Ultrasound Assisted Lipo or Vaser Lipo use ultrasonic energy under the skin to remove the fat following extraction of the debris by cannula. Local anesthesia is used and strong analgesia is provided for pain during recovery. Side effects include discomfort, edema and significant bruising. Cryolipolysis, also known as Coolsculpting, destroys fat cells through freezing them. Patients report extreme discomfort during treatment, as anesthesia is not an option. Coolsculpting works on the abdomen only. Side effects include redness, bruising, swelling, cramping, and numbness at the treatment site. Some patients experience numbness that persists for several weeks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible a divot can occur if the device is applied incorrectly. Many sessions are required and results are not seen until 6-9 months. Low Level Laser Therapy, such as iLipo xcell by Chromogenex, is a noninvasive and non-surgical technique using low-level laser technology to stimulate the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural process for releasing its stored energy from adipose tissue, shrinking fat cells followed by vacuum massage for body contouring and cellulite reduction. There is no sensation at all during treatment and post treatment signs or symptoms are nil. It is FDA approved and patients see significant reduction after each treatment. Patients can return to normal activity immediately. Conclusion iLipo xcell offers the non-invasive treatment with the least biological impact on the body, lowest risk of side effects or margin for operator influence or error. By only emptying the cell contents rather than destroying the cell to release stored contents the ability for future storage in that area remains. In procedures where fat cells are surgically removed or destroyed, any future fat storage (from mismanaged diet and exercise lifestyle) will have to be distributed for storage in other anatomical locations, which would include around the internal organs and within the visceral cavity, one of the contributory factors to developing type II diabetes. Low-level laser therapy leaves the cells intact, eliminating this risk. Finally, the device has pre-set treatment parameters which remove the risk of accidental ineffective treatment and does not require skill by the operator to ensure success. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the intelligent alternative to liposuction.

Ranked 6th in nation, local volleyball player attributes success to a variety of factors BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Kim DiCello is making a living out of playing on the beach, ranked sixth in the country on the Association of Volleyball Players Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. A 2002 graduate of San Dieguito High School Academy, DiCello recently received the AVP’s Most Improved Player honors at the end-of-season award ceremony held in Costa Mesa. “The Most Improved Player Award is a special one because it represents how a player can transform through sacrifice and brutally honest evaluation of their game from others and most importantly, themselves,” said Jeff Conover, AVP’s director of competition. “Kim has moved up the ranks through hard work, mental toughness and consistency. ... I’m very pleased to see her progress, and looking forward to what she produces in the future. As a born and raised San Diegan, I am proud of how she is representing our volleyball community on the court and off.” “I was certainly surprised,” said the 6-foot-tall DiCello, who had also been nominated in the categories of best blocker and offensive player of the year but wasn’t expecting anything, as she was up against players like Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings. The season MVP and Most Improved are fill-in-the-blank categories, so DiCello didn’t know she was even up for the award. When they announced her name, she didn’t hear it, as she was chatting with a coach at her table. Slowly she realized everyone in the room was looking at her. She admits she wished she had a speech prepared, because there are so many people to thank who she feels have been responsible for her growth as a volleyball player. “My focus has always been to just get a little better every season, and it’s nice to see the hard work pay off,” said DiCello, 30. Her volleyball career might never have happened if not for JT Regan, who introduced her to the sport when she was the “most lanky, uncoordinated middle-schooler you could ever imagine” in a Diegueno Middle School PE class. She said Regan believed she could be a great volleyball player before anyone else did. She developed as a player at Sunwest Volleyball Club, now known as COAST, and reached her dream of playing collegiately for Santa Clara University. After graduating, DiCello played professional indoor volleyball overseas for two seasons in Holland, Spain and Indonesia, fulfilling her next dream of living in a foreign country and playing the sport she loved. While living overseas was an amazing experience, she wanted to return home to close the distance between her and her then-boyfriend — now husband — Mark. She also wanted to have a job. “I’ve always been very academic and I wanted to put all that education to use,” she said. DiCello works in the energy and resource consulting businesses on energy and how to manage and reduce use. “It’s really rewarding,” she said. “I’m a tree-hugger at heart, but I believe in a business-

minded approach to sustainability. I like the fact that I’m creating solutions that are great for the environment, but also great for the business.” “Crazy” for the sport of volleyball, she still wanted to continue playing. As there is no professional indoor league in the U.S., she had to go to the beach. “It was a very humbling experience, coming from a background of being one of a team to being more of an individual player. Once I got on the sand, I felt like I was back at square one,” DiCello said. She rode the learning curve and had so much fun
playing that the process didn’t bother her. Breaking into the AVP Tour is a tough road, DiCello said. Before finding sponsorship, players start out paying all their own expenses to travel to play in qualifying tournaments. In many cases the tournaments are single-elimination — so a player could travel cross-country, not qualify and not earn a dime. “You go through the process of paying your dues,” said DiCello. “You really have to have a love for the game; you really have to be committed.” Finding the right partner is also important, DiCello said. That person must have the same level of commitment, competitive drive, ability to complement your skills on the court — and be someone you can have good chemistry with. “It’s a lot like a marriage,” DiCello said. A deciding factor is also being willing to compete internationally. DiCello started this season with Tealle Hunkus, but halfway through, partnered with Lane Carico, a “fiery little Brazilian” she met at Mission Beach. With Carico, she’s had four top three finishes this season. Life on the AVP tour is a lot of work. Some months, DiCello is traveling every single See PLAYER, page B19

In 2012, he was part of the onair team that helped launch the new regional sports network FOX Sports San Diego. Prior to that launch, he was with CBS Sports for 11 years as the play-by-play voice for the network’s coverage of the NFL, college basketball and the U.S. Open Tennis Championship.

Enberg holds the distinction of being the only person to win National Emmy awards as a sportscaster, a writer and a producer, and in 2000, he received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Emmy award. He is only the fourth sportscaster to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Enberg has been inducted into the National Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame and the National Sportscaster and Sportswriters Hall of Fame, as well as honored in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Rozelle Award), the National Basketball Hall of Fame (Gowdy Award) and the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame.

Kick-off 2015 the right way : Anti-aging eats for the young at heart The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN As another calendar year rolls around, that means we will all get one year older, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we have to look our true birthday age. (Yes, Christie Brinkley will be turning 61 next month!) Real age, that is, how old you really look and feel, can be kinder and more forgiving than your chronological age thanks to eating choice foods that will artfully fool Mother Nature. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the A(nti-aging) List to help you grow young gracefully. Say Cheese! Bone up on calciumrich foods, especially Greek
yogurt, goat and fresh mozzarella cheeses, dark leafy greens, broccoli and sardines with the skin and bones intact for a dazzling, youthful smile. A mother lode of calcium sources will create brighter, whiter teeth by fortifying the enamel and boosting saliva production to help ward off bacteria that causes yellow staining. Use your Bean That morning java jolt might actually erase years from your face. The caffeineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing that constricts blood vessels creating a more even and attractive skin tone. Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collagen Factory Guava is a tropical treat with a rich store of Vitamin C to help build and plump up droopy cells for a more taut, glowing complexion. So start the day with a coconut cream and guava smoothie, or slather some guava jelly on a slice of whole-wheat toast. Whip up a guava chutney with crunchy jicama, Persian cucumber and a squirt of lime juice to top off a seafood cocktail or wild caught grilled fish. Or eat it straight up for your daily dose of anti-aging.
Brazilian Bombshell Although a tough one to crack, two Brazil nuts a day will keep the plastic surgeon at bay. The magic ingredient is the trace mineral selenium responsible for replenishing damaged cells ravaged by free radicals. But watch out--theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fattening, so make the cut-off two. Other nutty alternatives include, omega-3 rich walnuts that will boost moisture content in your skin helping to plump up those creepy lines. Whip up a bunch of candied walnuts and sprinkle on oatmeal, salads or eat them solo as a satisfying and regenerating snack. Or indulge in the versatile almond packed with vitamin E to alleviate free radical damage caused by UV rays and environmental toxins. This mighty nut that can be pulverized into a spreadable butter, tossed in an Asian chicken or shrimp stir-fry, or finely ground into flour for gluten-free baked treats has a triple boon for healthy skin, hair and nails. As Cool as a Cucumber Whether you eat this cooling fruit or place a pair
of refreshing slices over your tied and puffy eyelids, you will be pampered with an anti-aging boost from the high water and silica content. Having both antioxidant and antiflammatory properties the cucumber will help impart a glowing and youthful complexion. Add cukes to a Greek salad, blend into a green smoothie, or enliven sandwiches or burgers with dill or bread and butter pickles. Get the Wrinkles Out The crinkly, wrinkly little raisin with a slew of vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium and potassium will add a sparkle to your eyes, prevent squinting (along with those nasty creases) and endow radiance to your complexion. Antiviral and antibacterial, the shriveled powerhouse will detox your system while maintaining a healthy balance or homeostasis. Sew Some Wild Oats Regular old-fashioned oatmeal (not instant) or steel cut oats have a load of Vitamin E and amino acids to provide cellular regeneration from sun damage, and bulldoze harmful free radicals. Oats also spur nitric oxide production to boost circulation, feeding cells
and the skin with a rich supply of oxygen. So toss some oats in your meatballs, stuffings, cookie batters, or bake a batch with orange blossom honey and dried cranberries for a hearty granola cereal or snack. Or cook up a pot of creamy oatmeal for a hearty age-reversing treat.
Oatmeal up!
Ingredients
1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal or rolled oats 2 cups liquid, your choice (milk, almond milk, coconut milk, hazelnut milk) 1 tablespoon honey, brown sugar or maple syrup (and extra for topping) Pinch of sea salt Toppings (your choice) 1 tablespoon dried fruits (cranberries, cherries, raisins, chopped dates or apricots) 1 tablespoon fresh berries (wild blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries) 1 banana, sliced 2 guavas, cubed 1 tablespoon nuts or seeds (chopped walnuts, slivered almonds, crushed Brazil or pistachio nuts, flax, pumpkin, sesame or sunflower seeds) 2 strips of crispy turkey bacon In a heavy saucepan
combine oats and milk and bring to a slow boil. Simmer and stir frequently until oats soften and the mixture thickens. Add salt and sweetener and simmer another few minutes for your desired consistency. Top with your faves. For additional divine holiday recipes, email kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

A Tree House Finds its Roots My husband Charlie grew up in The Bronx in New York, no doubt surrounded by brick and concrete, and one day he told me that he had always dreamed of having a tree house. I am happy to say that we are finally giving him that dream. Thanks to the great work of the designers and landscapers at www.naturedesigns.net, my family and I have decided to transition our backyard to make it completely sustainable and ecofriendly: a real life tree house! We realized that living in Rancho Santa Fe is such a beautiful privilege that we wanted to give back to not only the community, but the environment as well. Over the coming months, we will
be improving our irrigation system to maximum efficiency while creating a colorful yet low-water landscape. We want to surround ourselves with beautiful, native, drought resistant plants, while maintaining an outdoor living space that welcomes guests and dogs alike. We will be improving the soil by adding compost and mulch to retain moisture. These are just a few of the additions and changes we will be making to our yard, and we welcome others in the community to follow in our footsteps. Below are some tips for making your yard sustainable and environmentally happy. Irrigation – Monitor water usage weekly and check the irrigation system regularly for water runoff, leaks, and overspray. – Program three start times per watering day. Run zone should only run as long as the water soaks into the soil. Once run-off occurs, stop watering. Wait 1-2 hours, then run that zone again. Then repeat. This allows the water to saturate deeper into the soil and reduces run-off. Plants are able to grow roots into the deeper moisture which strengthens
them. –Once established, native and drought tolerant plants will need very little irrigation. Make sure to adjust according to their needs. – Adjust timing seasonally to account for heat and cooler temperatures, and dormant months. – Use a Smart controller to make programming easier to adjust. – Consider installing a greywater system. Pools – Add a pool cover if possible to reduce evaporation. – Install solar heating. – Replace inefficient and loud single speed pool pumps with high-efficiency, quiet, variable speed pumps. – Convert to a salt system, UV, ionic, or oxidation water quality system. Planting Beds – Space plants appropriately according to their mature size to reduce pruning labor and green waste. – Let the leaves drop and stay in place or compost them and return them to the planting bed so they can return nutrients to
the soil. – Choose drought tolerant and disease resistant plants. – Retain green waste and compost it on site; mulch planter beds with mulch and compost generated on site. Lawns – Add compost and organic matter prior to planting. – Limit square footage and plant drought tolerant turf grass. – Occasionally add compost and other organic soil amendments to improve soil fertility. – Use a composting mower that recycles lawn clippings. These are just a few suggestions to help you create your own efficient, sustainable landscape. For more ideas, visit the website below that offers more than 80 tips on making your yard truly “green.” http://www.motherearthnews.com/organicgardening/ Column continued on: http://www.ranchosantafereview.com/category/ columns/sponsored-columns/janet-lawless-christ/

weekend. Places she’s played this year include the Cayman Islands, Mexico, Tobago, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil and China. “You have to be very organized. I’m very effective with my time. I have to be very productive working on airplanes,” said DiCello, who departs Dec. 6 to Bloemfontein, South Africa, for a tournament. DiCello also must be efficient with her time when it comes to training. She trains for a minimum of five hours daily, whether it’s practice on the court, time in the weight room, physical therapy at Longevity in Encinitas with Brett Bloom, or working with her nutritionist and strength and conditioning coach Robert Yans in Encinitas — “a rock star” who has helped keep her healthy this season. She also works with a sports therapist at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center. Of all that work put in, DiCello can’t single out one

ing a very clean, plant-based diet, this year she went gluten-free and dairy-free. Through her nutritionist, she’s upped her protein to help build strength and recover faster, and she said she is feeling better than ever. After South Africa, she will have a “month off”— but DiCello won’t stray too far from training. She said she plans to prioritize time with family and friends — “I can’t tell you how many weddings I’ve missed”— and evaluate how the past season went and what she wants to change. DiCello has her eyes on the 2016 Olympics, which would be a dream come true, but admittedly, not the be-all and end-all. “As important as the Olympics are to me, I also want to keep in perspective the value of this journey. I’m certainly an Olympic hopeful, and we could be that team, but I’m not going to evaluate myself based on one competition,” DiCello said. “It’s really important to understand the value in the process, because it’s not an easy journey — it’s very challenging.”
OPEN HOUSES

But the Pikes didn’t want to leave the Highlands. When the Radio Shack space became open, it was offered to them, and they leapt at the chance. “They have been incredibly helpful and fair with us,” Sandra said of the center management, which allowed them to re-create their business with some special new additions. The new bakery has a new, more efficient convection oven, a new proof box and walkin freezers and refrigerators. At the old space, their fridges were stand-alones on wheels, and they were always forgetting where they’d been rolled off to. Sandra’s favorite thing in the new bakery is the countertop. She got to pick out the granite herself at the slab yard, and it blends all the colors of the shop, from golden yellows and browns to greens. Hard to believe that Sandra didn’t even know what challah bread was in the beginning — now the braided loaf, which comes in plain, raisin and chocolate chip varieties, is their best-selling bread and the one for which they are most known. “We sell more challah that any other single bakery in the state,” Parker said. They make five-pound challahs for bar mitzvahs, and for several years now, they’ve made challah wreaths, ordered by Dr. John Rogers to thank the doctors and nurses during the holidays. This year, they made 91 wreaths to be delivered to Scripps Green Hospital. Their Pioneer bread is the top seller by loaves — they sell it wholesale to Jimbo’s, Seaside Market and La Costa Farms. It’s a six-grain blend bread with pumpkin, sesame, flax, sunflower and poppy seeds. Their brioche bread is served at the Addison restaurant at the Grand Del Mar. The bakery’s shelves are loaded with loaves and biscotti, their display cases stocked with tons of muffins and cookies. Each of their monster cookies holds an estimated 40 mini M&Ms. Sandra’s new favorite pastry is a multigrain cinnamon roll, which she calls “healthy decadence.” She said after 20 years, there isn’t much out there that isn’t a good seller. Their customers are extremely loyal and effusively complimentary. “This is by far the best bakery in the world. Not only because everything they make here is superb, but their service, their attention, their welcoming presence is what makes them far superior. Sandra’s the best thing since sliced bread,” said 18-year customer Leslie Wicker. “It’s become an emotional connection, because when you’re sad, you come to Village Mill, and when you’re happy, you come to Village Mill.” Sandra accepted the compliment with a smile, enjoying the fact that Village Mill’s love for the community is mutual. “I can’t imagine doing anything else,” Sandra said.

factor that has caused her improvement as a player this year. It’s a combination of many things, she said. “I think that every athlete’s journey in sport is different. There’s a lot of hard work and sacrifices, but the results didn’t always reflect what you put in. This year, a lot of a hard work from the previous year and this year came together.” She believes she has become a smarter athlete, learning how to manage stress, and paying attention to the importance of sleep, one of the best recovery tools. “Some of it is admitting that things like sleep do have a difference. I have a strong personality and I’m tough mentally, and I think I can play through anything.

BY KAREN BILLING 2014 was a full one for Rancho Santa Fe. The Rancho Santa Fe Association went through a rocky election season, the removal and return of its board president and saw the departure of longtime Manager Pete Smith. The word of the year was transparency, and voter registration saw a huge uptick as more and more community members sought to have their voices heard on a variety of issues. A look at the year that was: January • Longtime resident Tom Clotfleter passes away at age 81. Clotfleter was born in 1932 at the Osuna Adobe and grew up exploring Rancho Santa Fe’s canyons and creeks. He co-founded The Country Friends, the RSF Book Club, Library Guild and the Fourth of July parade, served on the Santa Fe Irrigation District board for 28 years and helped the Association purchase the McMorrow property, now known as the Arroyo property, as open space. At the May annual meeting, he was honored posthumously with a community service award. See YEAR, page 20

BY SUSAN SHRODER AND EDWARD SIFUENTES, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW A 21-year-old man who died after a Christmas Eve crash in a rare sports car in Rancho Santa Fe was a nephew of former San Diego Padres owner John Moores. The county Medical Examiner’s Office identified the driver as Barry Alexander Moores of Rancho Santa Fe. He is the son of Barry Owen Moores, according to public records. Barry Owen is the younger brother of John Moores, a well-known developer, philanthropist and former owner of the Padres. The Moores family declined to comment when reached by telephone on Saturday, Dec. 27. According to his LinkedIn profile, Barry Alexander Moores was a student at UC Berkeley. He was a community relations intern with the Padres between June 2012 and August 2012. He was also a summer intern with Major League Baseball China in 2010. He was driving a rare Ariel Atom sports car with a passenger when he lost control of the car on a curve on La Orilla and collided head-on with an SUV shortly after 2 p.m. on Dec. 24, authorities said. He was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, where he was declared brain dead about 4 p.m. on Christmas Day, according to the Medical See CRASH, page 16

New high school district trustee hits ground running • Maureen Muir says her goal is to help more children get into college
BY JOE TASH After serving on the Encinitas Union School District board for six years, Maureen “Mo” Muir felt it would be a natural progression to move up to the board that oversees middle and high schools in coastal North County. Muir, the wife of Encinitas City Councilman Mark Muir, declared her candidacy for the San Dieguito Union High School District board and never really looked back. On Nov. 4, in a crowded field of seven candidates for three seats — including three incumbents seeking reelection — Muir was the top vote-getter, defeating 16-year trustee Barbara Groth. Muir credited her strong showing to the name recognition from being married to a councilman and former Encinitas fire chief, as well as her campaign’s message of helping children succeed, whether by going to college or another career path. “I think what I said resonated with people,” Muir said in a Dec. 19 interview, a week after being sworn in for a four-year term on the San Dieguito board, which oversees a district with four high schools, four middle schools and a continuation high school. “People have asked me why I ran and why I ran so hard,” said Muir, and the reason stems from her childhood in Wisconsin, as one of nine siblings raised by a single mom. “My mom, her dream was for every kid to go to college and make something” of himor herself, she said, “and it really had an impact on me.” During her campaign, Muir was also critical of the school district on a number of counts, including fiscal accountability, lack of transparency and failing to be responsive to parents and students. When asked about ways that she might seek to shift spending priorities, she mentioned a consultant for a committee that is studying the district’s boundary policies, who she said is being paid $350 per hour. But she also noted that as a brand-new trustee, she will have to wait until the board holds its budget deliberations in the coming months before forming opinions on district spending. She met with the district’s chief financial officer to begin to educate herself on financial issues, and plans a tour of district schools and meetings with school foundation officials, and representatives of parent-teacher organizations. The purpose, she said, is “finding how I can best serve them, to help them get kids into college.” She is also planning to have coffee with board president Beth Hergesheimer, who reached out to Muir after her election victory. Muir, who was endorsed by the San Diego County Republican Party along with newly re-elected trustee John Salazar, said time will tell whether differences of opinions on the board result in split votes. While she said she knows Salazar well, and that “We’re both fiscally conservative people,” she rejected comments made by Groth at her final board meeting in November.

Maureen Muir At that time, Groth said the new board would have “two politically-motivated board members,” in an apparent reference to Muir and Salazar. Muir said she has long been involved in children’s and education issues, from serving on the elementary school board and writing grants for school funding, to volunteering on the county’s First Five Commission, which focuses on programs for children from birth through age 5. “I don’t know how you can misconstrue that as being political,” Muir said. “If

you met me, you’d realize I’m passionate about education and kids. I don’t know where that came from.” After a week on the job as a San Dieguito trustee, Muir said she is looking forward to discussions on a number of topics, from the district budget to the findings of a committee set up to look at boundary policies. She also praised Superintendent Rick Schmitt for his communications efforts, and his handling of lockdowns in November at Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest high schools, after online threats. Schmitt calls board members once a week to update them on things going on at the district, and he also puts out his own schedule each week. “That’s great,” she said. When she heard about the lockdowns, Muir said, she called Schmitt, who answered on the first ring. The superintendent gave her a quick briefing, and promised to call back once the situation had stabilized, which he did. Schmitt immediately went to Torrey Pines to deal with the situation. “I thought it was handled really well,” Muir said.

philanthropist on road to support causes from WI
BY JOE TASH As the daughter of a World War II flying ace, Kay Isaacson-Leibowitz got goosebumps when she visited the National World War II Museum in New Orleans in December to celebrate the opening of a new wing. The museum’s exhibits “really brought to life” the experiences of her late father, Brig. Gen. Clayton M. “Ike” Isaacson and his fellow service members, said the Rancho Santa Fe resident.

An anonymous angel unites hearts on Christmas Eve •An orphan puppy and an adopting family receive a surprise gift… This year, Christmas has come one day early for an unsuspecting adopting family and a cuddly pup at Helen Woodward Animal Center. An anonymous donor surprised the family with a very special holiday gift, covering the cost of all adoption fees. Center staff was asked to tell the family that an angel had taken care of the union and to wish them a Merry Christmas. The donor, who had suffered the loss of a beloved family member and a cherished dog within the year, stopped by the Helen Woodward Animal Center adoptions building early one recent morning before business hours. In the midst of such sadness, the individual, who asked to remain anonymous, hoped to give life and happiness to an orphan pet and a hopeful family. The only request placed on the donation was that the family had young children who had always wanted a puppy. The Saxten family from Encinitas fit that description to a tee. Parents Sarah and Graham said that their sons Jonah (age 7) and Wyatt (age 5) had wanted a dog for years. Informed that the boys could look at the Helen Woodward Animal Center website to see if there was a dog they would like for Christmas, the boys picked out Dasher, a female Labrador Retriever puppy. “We all fell in love with her immediately,” explained Sarah. “We dashed down here for Dasher.” The family was incredibly touched and surprised when they were informed that Dasher’s adoption fee had been covered by the anonymous angel. Unable to thank their donor, the family gave the hugs and love to their new puppy instead. Jonah Saxten explained it simply. “Best Christmas present ever!” “I think this individual just really wanted to know that there would be a family and an orphan pet enjoying their Christmas morning together,” stated Helen Woodward Animal Services Manager Ed Farrelly. “They put love out into the world as their way to heal – truly the selfless spirit of Christmas. We are incredibly grateful and so is the family and pup whose lives this person touched.” For more information on Helen Woodward Animal Center or to adopt an available orphan pet, please contact

Haggen to buy 25 San Diego supermarkets, including Albertsons on Via de la Valle BY KATHERINE P. HARVEY, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW The Washington state-based grocery chain Haggen Inc. plans to buy 146 Albertsons and Safeway stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona, including 25 in San Diego County. In the deal, Haggen Food & Pharmacy would acquire 17 Albertsons stores and eight Safeway-owned Vons stores in the San Diego area. The list includes the Albertsons on Via de la Valle. The Bellingham Herald reports the sales are required under the federal review of Safeway’s sale to an investment group that owns Albertsons. If Haggen’s plans get Federal Trade Commission approval, the Bellingham-based company would expand from 18 stores and 16 pharmacies in the Northwest to 164 stores and 106 pharmacies in the five states. Details of the deal haven’t been released, but it is expected to close in early 2015. Haggen then expects to convert all of the acquired stores to its own banner in phases during the first half of the year. The employees at the purchased stores will be given the option to become Haggen employees as their individual stores make the transition, the company said. “We warmly welcome these new employees and stores into the Haggen family,” said John Clougher, one of the company’s two CEOs. “We want to retain these existing teams while allowing our growing company to build on their past successes.” Haggen has been in business for more than 80 years, according to its website, and puts heavy emphasis on supporting local farms, fisheries and other suppliers. This is the largest of several sales related to the $7.6 billion sale of Safeway to investors led by Cerberus Capital Management. Associated Food Stores is buying eight stores in Montana and Wyoming, Associated Wholesale Grocers is purchasing 12 stores in Texas, and Supervalu is buying two Albertsons stores in Everett and Woodinville, Washington.

RSF rescue ranch a haven for doomed horses •Laughing Pony Rescue has rehabilitated and adopted out hundreds of unwanted horses
BY PAM KRAGEN, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW Although it’s been nearly 25 years since Celia Sciacca first saw the footage of horses being put down in a local slaughterhouse, the haunting images still wake her up at night. “It was so horrifying. I wish I could get those pictures out of mind, but I’ve never been able to,” she said. Although Sciacca knows she can’t save every horse, she has spent the past 30 years trying to rescue as many as she can — and that tally now tops 300. With help from volunteers and family members, Sciacca’s rescue headquarters is the Laughing Pony ranch on Via Del Charro in Rancho Santa Fe. “Celia’s amazing,” said Stacy Lackey, who volunteers at the ranch with her daughter, Sarah. “This is a passion project for her and she has done it all out of the goodness of her heart.” The hilly, three-acre property may be in a chic neighborhood, but it’s clearly a bare-bones operation. Sciacca bought the land 23 years ago when she was a well-paid trainer and exerciser for racehorse breeders including the late Larry Mabee. These days, her brother, Frankie, helps with the mortgage and she cobbles together just enough money to pay the feed and vet bills through donations, the sale of horse-themed greeting cards and what little money she can make offering riding lessons. Laughing Pony Ranch was started five years ago as a place for rescued horses to be rehabilitated. Horses that were destined for slaughter or were neglected, abused or used for medical treatments have a loving home at the Rancho Santa Fe ranch. “I look at each (riding) session as a bale of hay. Little by little we make just enough to feed the animals we’ve got and not much more,” she said. Laughing Pony Rescue is now home to 14 rescued horses and ponies. Most stay for about a year before they’re rehabilitated and adopted out. Each has its own sad rescue story.
Celia Sciacca, the owner of Laughing Pony Ranch, works with three of her rescue horses, Gino, left, Johnny Cash and Amigo. The ranch was started five years ago as a place for rescued horses to be rehabilitated. Horses that were destined for slaughter or were neglected, abused or used for medical treatments have a loving home at the Rancho Santa Fe ranch. Gypsy, a 3 1/2-year-old black and white pony, was discovered two years ago on a ranch in the High Desert. When Sciacca arrived at the property, the pony was hogtied on the ground with a fractured jaw and cuts on her eyelids. She was being used for calf-roping practice and was headed for slaughter. Sciacca paid $100 for Gypsy and has spent the last couple of years trying to heal the animal’s physical and emotional scars. In a stall nearby, 13-year-old Barbie nibbles on hay. The draft/quarter horse mix was rescued eight years ago from a ranch where the urine of pregnant mares was used to make the hormone drug Premarin. At the time, Barbie had delivered four foals in five years and was in a weakened state. Today, the tall chestnut mare is happily retired from childbearing. In the adjoining stall is the ranch’s oldest resident, Reba, a 23-year-old mare who was

earmarked for slaughter because she has delicate feet caused by the disease ringbone. And just down the hill is Bobcat, a 2-year-old quarter horse with a short tail. He was abandoned with his mother last year in the High Desert. She died trying to defend them both from a pack of wild dogs. He survived, but most of his tail was torn off in the battle. It costs about $5,000 a month in feed, vet and maintenance bills to run the small ranch, as well as the work of more than 30 volunteers who put in a halfday or more each week mucking out stalls and feeding, grooming and exercising the horses. Retired attorney Maren Christensen of Rancho Santa Fe started volunteering one day a week at the ranch last year. “I had a horse as a child and when we moved back here a few years ago I decided to get involved,” she said. “I Googled ‘horse rescue’ and found this place.

From beloved T-shirts, quilter creates blanket of memories
BY SAMANTHA TATRO Many of us have lots of old T-shirts that we don’t wear anymore, but we can’t bear to part with. One local resident knows how to put those shirts to good use. Misty Johnson takes old T-shirts — often representing beloved memories — and stitches them into quilts. After her son, Carter Johnson, spent his childhood playing competitive sports, Johnson was left with piles of team shirts. On the one hand, she wanted to keep them. On the other hand, she wanted to throw them away. She compromised and put them together into her first memory quilt. “To me, it was easy to do,” said Johnson, who started sewing at age 10. “I came upon it because my son had all these shirts, and I couldn’t get rid of one thing.” After that, word of mouth spread, and now Johnson is coming up on 15 years doing the quilts. Even after her son graduated from high school and moved to San Jose, Johnson kept receiving calls from mothers and fathers in the local sports community and nearby neighborhoods, inquiring about the quilts. (Johnson’s son, Carter, played baseball for Encinitas Little League and La Costa Canyon Varsity before receiving a full scholarship to pitch for the San Jose State University Spartans). “People knew I made the quilts, so they just kept calling me, even though they knew my son was off at college,” Johnson said. Since the initial quilt, she has sewn more than 60 for occasions such as loved ones passing away, graduations, sports retirements and college memories. One of the first times Johnson strayed from sports-related quilting was a special request from several mothers. A

friend of theirs had lost her 23-year-old son to a heroin overdose. The mothers had heard of Johnson’s quilts, and they asked her to make one using the young man’s sports jerseys. Johnson didn’t know the family, but made the quilt. “When she (the mother) was given the quilt, it was the most unbelievable response,” Johnson said. “Then I just thought, I want to do more of these for others to be able to share that remembrance of their loved ones.” Another customer saw her working on a quilt and asked about it. She told Johnson she and her husband still had fraternity and sorority clothing from college. Johnson made their shirts into a quilt that the customer gave to her husband for Father’s Day. Now, her children ask about the Greek letters and the events on the shirts. In 2015, Johnson said, she’s looking to sew a quilt a week. She asks potential clients to bring in all the shirts they want to have stitched into the quilt. She then assesses how big or small the quilt can be. Often, older shirts may have holes or stains. That’s OK, Johnson said. “I like to maintain rip holes and stains because they’re not supposed to be perfect,” she said. “They’re supposed to be a memory.” Many families have piles of old T-shirts or sports jerseys in their closets. Johnson said her quilts are a unique way to preserve those memories. “What people tend to do is, they have their kids’ shirts from years of competitive sports and they don’t know what to do with them,” Johnson said. “But they don’t want to throw them away.” That’s where she comes in: Working at a pingpong table in her garage, with her dogs at her feet, she pieces the shirts into quilts that families keep for years to come. The quilts run from $200 to $300. Typically, she said, a twin quilt with backing would run around $200. “They’re great conversation pieces,” Johnson said. “I would love to make one for everyone out there that was going through a transition.” To order a quilt, contact Johnson at misty820@aol. com.

TPHS boys varsity soccer team wins Grossmont Tournament After graduating 14 seniors from the 2013-2014 season, Torrey Pines High School soccer was in what many would consider to be a rebuilding phase and with only three returning starting players there would be a lot of changes and new faces. After losing in last year’s CIF final to Carlsbad, it was important to pick things up quickly and get off to a strong start. The Falcons have set off on a very positive note with 5 wins and 1 tie, which gave them 1st place in the 37th year of the annual Grossmont Tournament (TPHS beat San Dieguito Academy 1-0 to win the finals of the tournament). Players to watch this year include seniors Blake Mcatee and Asher Booth, who is the current leading goal scorer for the unbeaten Falcons, and creative midfielders Jagger Havlik and Eren Esner. Among the talented juniors who are starting for the first time on the varsity roster are midfielders Michael Stewart, Michael Poulos and Greg Mathus. “This team has many tools that past Torrey Pines teams have not had, it is also the most versatile and unpredictable roster of players we have had in my 18 years,” said Coach Andy Hargreaves. “This season I am hoping we can really surprise some people. This team plays some of the best technical soccer I have witnessed during my high school coaching years.”

Horizon Prep students shine at swimming championship A total of 25 teams from Southern California, Northern California, and Arizona attended the three-day Annual Winter Age Group Swimming Championship on Coronado Island Dec. 20-22. Roughly 800 swimmers competed, including the following Horizon Prep students: Drew Schmidt (7th grade), Daniel Hotson (7th grade), Revere Schmidt (4th grade), and Audrey Schafer (4th grade). Drew had top 8 finishes in seven of his nine events, including a 3rd and two 4th place finishes. The points he earned for his nine events ranked him 6th amongst the roughly 80 boys competing in the 11-12-year-old age group. Revere had top 8 finishes in five of her nine events. She ranked 8th in overall points among the roughly 50 10 & under girls. With such strong results, both Drew and Revere were selected to represent San Diego County in the annual AllStar competition to be held in Roseville, Calif. Eight boys and eight girls were selected in each age group. The team will compete head-to-head against the Sierra Nevada All-Star team. The siblings also qualified to swim at the annual fourday Far Western Championships to be held in Morgan Hill, Calif., in April, a meet that attracts the top age group swimmers in the western half of the United States. It was a special moment when Drew and 7th grade classmate Daniel Hotson competed in the 200-yard butterfly. This event is Daniel’s specialty, and the boys swam the race in lanes next to each other, finishing 3rd and 4th, respectively. Both boys had significant time improvements, likely because they pushed each other to a strong finish. Drew and Daniel have attended many local meets together over the past five years, initially as teammates, although they didn’t know each other at that time. They now compete for different swim teams, racing as Horizon Prep classmates and best friends. They encourage each other in the pool, the classroom, and in the Horizon Prep concert choir “HP Harmony.” Revere and her close friend Audrey Schafer swam together on the 200-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relays. While the girls have different 4th grade teachers, it was wonderful to see them teaming up on a relay at this championship meet.

Scripps to host Natural Supplements School Jan. 15 Consumers can learn the latest insights into the safety and effectiveness of vitamins, herbs and minerals at the Natural Supplements School, presented by Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine on Thursday, Jan. 15. The interactive seminar, sponsored by Nordic Naturals, will take place from 1-5:30 p.m. at the Paradise Point Resort on Mission Bay, 1404 Vacation Road in San Diego. The public event has an advance registration fee of $99 through Jan. 9. On-site registration after Jan. 9 will be $125. For information or to register, call 858-652-5400, or visit scripps.org/naturalsupplements. The Scripps Natural Supplements School will help attendees understand the basics of supplements, including how to interpret product labels and claims. It will also explore the use of supplements for pain, inflammation, fatigue and heart conditions. The program will conclude with an interactive panel discussion and Q-and-A session with experts. Sales of herbal dietary supplements in the United States reached an all-time high of about $6 billion in 2013, according to HerbalGram, the peer-reviewed quarterly journal of the nonprofit American Botanical Council. The ABC reports that sales of herbal supplements in the United States have increased in each of the past 10 years. Also, the annual sales of all supplements in the United States, including herbal and nonherbal products (such as fish oil and CoQ10), have exceeded $30 billion for several years, according to the Nutrition Business Journal. The Scripps Natural Supplements School is part of a larger continuing medical education conference for health care professionals. The 12th annual “Natural Supplements: An Evidence-Based Update” will run Jan. 16-18. The public is also invited to a keynote address at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, featuring Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., author of the book “Life is Your Best Medicine.” A book-signing event will follow. Registration is $35.

here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a happy place. All our horses are fat and happy.â&#x20AC;? Christensen is especially fond of a pair of chocolate-colored Welsh ponies who arrived eight months ago from the San Fernando Valley. Their story has become a common one since the recession. The owner couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to feed or care for the animals any longer, so he surrendered them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a brother and sister, both under 5 years old â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to Laughing Pony. Christensen said the ponies are so beloved by volunteers that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been named simply Pony 1 and Pony 2, so that nobody gets too attached. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal here is to get them adopted, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give them names and have a hard time letting them go when they find new homes,â&#x20AC;? she said. Volunteer Gabrielle Attig discovered Laughing Pony last year as well. She works with intellectually disabled adults through Employment & Community Options and she brings three of her clients along each Tuesday and Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love it,â&#x20AC;? said At-
tig, 29. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pitch in, groom the horses and do some riding. It helps with their anxiety and balance and they like being out here.â&#x20AC;? Raised in New York, Sciacca got her first horse when she was 10. In her teens she began breaking, training and exercising horses and has gone only one year of her life (she declines to give her age) without a horse. She moved to San Diego about 30 years ago and her first rescue was Don, an Appaloosa stallion she found at a feed lot. She was a among a team of activists who secretly installed a camera in a horse slaughterhouse in the 1990s and the images were so disturbing that she said the local San Diego news stations refused to air the footage. She regularly drove to Nevada to rescue wild mustangs, and she began offering free horse training to
rescue groups about 20 years ago. When these groups couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to feed or house the horses themselves, she began running her own rescue service on her own dime. When she went broke six years ago, she turned Laughing Pony into a nonprofit. Sciacca said staying one step ahead of the bills has meant long hours, seven days a week. She hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t left the property â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except to pick up a rescue animal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in three years, but she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wake up and feel good about coming down here,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happiest because horses have been in my blood so heavily. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what else Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be doing if I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here.â&#x20AC;? For more information, visit www.laughingponyrescue.com.

The CHP said both men were wearing helmets. Authorities said the Atom hit a Ford Expedition driven by a 62-year-old San Diego man. A fire in the SUVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engine was quickly extinguished, according to a spokeswoman for the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District.

It was not yet determined at press time for this newspaper if either drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash, authorities said.

YEAR
for Rancho Santa Fe’s new little library was Feb. 29, 1964.
continued from page 1
March • The RSF Association seeks to establish a Compensation Committee to review employee contracts, oversee and authorize employee compensation packages, and approve the annual performance review of the Association manager. • Residents begin to question the voter registration process, wondering why they have to register at all and why it isn’t an automatic right. Of a potential 3,200 voters, about 1,800 are registered to vote. • The board approves a nine-month trial run of a village farmers market on Saturdays at El Tordo between Linea Del Cielo and Avenida de Acacias. The board grapples with locations after it is kicked out of the park, as well as potential interference with the Secret Car Club, which also meets on Saturday. McAllister abstains in the 6-1 vote. • Boon sends a notice that she may take legal action unless she receives a retraction from 33 Covenant members for comments made in the February letter to the Association. “I am hopeful that the authors will agree with me that the statements should not have been made,” Boon said in a statement. “I respect the right of every member to engage in spirited debate over the issues and I am not afraid of fair criticism of my views or my actions. “ • The Santa Fe Irrigation Board of Directors takes formal action to cut members’ pay and health benefits. The combined savings is $13,070.
• Mike Bardin enters his 10th year as Santa Fe Irrigation District manager. •A petition signed by 120 members prompts a meeting about the status of the Association’s purchase of the RSF Garden Club after a year’s worth of negotiations appeared to have stalled. Director Heather Slosar moves to have another communitywide vote on the purchase, but it fails 3-4 with only Slosar, President Ann Boon and Craig McAllister voting for another vote.
February • The RSF Association approves a resolution on Feb. 6 to buy the Garden Club for $2.4 million. Boon, Slosar and Craig McAllister vote against it, saying they felt the conditions of the sale had changed enough to warrant another vote. In the 2013 community-wide vote, 667 of 785 votes favored the sale. A petition turned in on Feb. 27 singed by 177 people forces the second community-wide vote. • A letter signed by 33 community members goes out after the Feb. 6 meeting in which Boon discussed the budget, employee compensation, transparency, requests for information and an error found in a 2011 form 990 tax return. The letter alleges that Boon’s actions at that meeting were inappropriate and disrespectful of the staff. • RSF Association Manager Pete Smith goes on sick leave. • On Feb. 20, Boon is removed as president of the RSF Association board in a 5-2 vote, with Boon and director Craig McAllister voting against the ouster. “The board lost confidence in Ann’s leadership and felt she was no longer the right person to run the board,” Vice President Rochelle Putnam said at the time. • The Association replaces 7,000 linear feet of fencing along the lower half of the golf course that was falling down and rotted. • The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild celebrates 50 years in the community. Before the library existed, Rancho Santa Fe was served by the county bookmobile, which visited a couple of afternoons a month, and a small lending library at Bill and Emma’s Café, a soda fountain on Paseo Delicias. The new library was built on the Ewing property, the old Post Office building on La Granada and Paseo Delicias, for rent of $150 a month. The rent was more than the county budget, leading to the formation of the Guild to supplement what the county could not provide. The formal opening
April • Pete Smith announces his retirement after a 23-year run in the Covenant. He was the manager of the Association for a little over 18 years, before that spending five years as the manager of the RSF Golf Club. “It was a very, very hard decision to leave,” Smith said. “All of that time, I developed a really good rapport with a lot of the members, and they really became friends.” • Solana Santa Fe teacher Becky Gauthier, who has been at the school for 21 years, is named its principal. She took over as interim principal in late 2013. “Solana Santa Fe is an amazing place and I think that’s what made my decision easy,” Gauthier said. “Having opened the school, there’s a sense of ownership ... and I have a deep love for the school and staff. They are amazing and I’m truly honored to be their leader. We have amazing parents and they send us wonderful kids. We’re a small school and everyone takes care of each other; we’re a family.” • One year after the Boston Marathon bombings,
three Rancho Santa Fe runners return to take back the race: Dan Minteer, Omar Bouhaddou and Heidi Nevin. “When I found out later that I had qualified, I wanted to be part of the Boston Marathon and play a small role in showing the world that acts of terror will not destroy what is great in this country,” Minteer said. • The RSF Association votes 7-0 in favor of granting condo owners RSF Golf Club membership rights. The Association believed that a community-wide vote would be required to change the club membership rights of condo owners, but upon review by staff and counsel, the rights may be granted by simply amending the Memorandum of Understanding between the Association and the club. “It’s not just that the golf club is asking to drive more membership,” said newly appointed President Philip Wilkinson. “I think fundamentally it’s the right thing to do. If you pay an assessment, you should be able to join the golf club and you should have the right to vote.” • A FedEx mailer goes out to the private homes of Association members regarding the Garden Club sale, alleging the deal hadn’t been properly vetted and that negotiations were “cloaked in secrecy.” “There are so many things going on in this community that are unfair, unethical and really not Rancho Santa Fe,” said Helen DiZio, Garden Club president. “I’ve never seen it before … I hope we get through it really quickly.” The authors of FedEx package, Mike Licosati and Alex Kaiser, speak out, saying they felt their mailer simply included important information that members needed for the vote. They did not want to mail through the Association to avoid a disclaimer that was placed on a previous member mailer regarding voter registration. Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler said that member mailings are not edited, but the last was unusual in that the mailer had created his own website for voter registration that was not affiliated with the Association. • About 72 percent of the Covenant community — 1,945 members — is now registered to vote. The upcoming election has four people vying for two seats on the Association board: Boon, Kim Eggleston, Dom Addario and Susan Callahan.
May •Voter registration reaches 77 percent: 2,070 of 2,700 eligible voters. • Residents expressed confusion at the May 1 Association meeting about whether Manager Smith re-
tired, resigned or was “run out” of his position, and what kind of compensation he received on his departure. As revealed at the May 8 annual meeting, Smith will receive severance pay that represents about 85 percent of his annual pay, paid over the next two fiscal years. • A highly contentious election season features allegations of stolen campaign signs, nasty mailers and dirty rumors. At the annual meeting, candidate Eggleston remarks that he never dreamed his candidacy would evoke such hostility and the “flood of character assassinations” that occurred. “I don’t know what is going on here, everything is just crazy,” agrees candidate Callahan. “I don’t understand how we’re getting to neighbor versus neighbor.” President Wilkinson agrees that enough is enough and pleads for a stop to the negativity. • In a close vote, Association membership turns down the $2.4 million purchase of the Garden Club, 638 votes in favor, and 659 votes against the purchase. While the voter turnout is high, it’s slightly short of the highest ballot return on record, which was 1,314 votes. • Almost like a premonition, resident Lisa Mallet expresses concerns about the fire hazard posed by dead and dying trees in the Covenant at the May 1 Association meeting. “With the temperatures rising and rainfall declining, that makes us very vulnerable to fire,” Mallet warns. “It seems we have the money to buy another building (the Garden Club), but it makes no sense if the whole thing’s going to go up in flames.” In a rare May Santa Ana wind event, San Diego is ablaze just 12 days later. Rancho Santa Fe homes are spared in the Bernardo Fire, which burns 1,548 acres, starting at the south end of 4S Ranch. The fire attacks the river valley canyon and splits and burns back north at Zumaque, similar to where a blaze consumed several homes in 2007’s Witch Creek Fire. Firefighters make a stand at El Sicamoro, battling flames that threatened a home. According to Chief Tony Michel, a lot of their success is because of cooperation and combination of various resources, aircraft and personnel on the ground. • The RSF Association approves the front nine of the Golf Club’s tree management plan, which had been highly controversial in 2013. Representatives from the Association’s Committee on the Natural Environment (CONE) and representatives from the club’s greens committee and board of governors worked together on a plan to best serve the community’s interests for golf
playability and aesthetic quality. The plan includes removing 32 trees, planting 30 replacement trees and removing 10.7 acres of turf, replacing it with native shrubs. •The RSF Association approved bylaw changes to establish a permanent Compensation Committee at the May 15 meeting. An ad-hoc compensation committee has been working since August 2013 and in working with a human resources consultant, the committee recommends changes to vacation and sick policies that will save $1 million in the next five years. • New “step down” housing is proposed on the 29-acre Mabee property on Calzada del Bosque and Via de la Valle. The preliminary design would consist of 46 age-restricted units and four estate lots, with a clubhouse for the units and five acres of open space with ponds, gardens and walkways. The home built in the 1970s would remain and be remodeled as a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse for residents. • Santa Fe Irrigation District gives Mike Bardin a 5 percent raise in a 3-1 vote, with board member John Ingalls voting against the motion.
June • R. Roger Rowe teacher Maureen Cassarino retires after 27 years teaching in the school and 20 years leading the Rancho Santa Fe Children’s Theater. “Working in Rancho Santa Fe has been super rewarding. I’ve had so many opportunities to grow as a teacher and working in such a collaborative community, it has been a dream job,” Cassarino says. “I feel grateful to have been here.” • The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe unveils plans for a new step-down housing project for the village, giving people the opportunity to live in a smaller home or downsize without giving up the Ranch lifestyle. The Inn proposes adding three neighborhoods to the 21 acres it owns in the village. Of the existing 99 units, 14 would be demolished and 30 added for a total of 115 units, a net gain of 16. • Eggleston and Boon are elected to the RSF Association board, marking the end of one of the most hotly contested elections in Covenant history. Eggleston receives the most votes, with 823, and Boon receives 819. Candidate Dominic Addario receives 740 votes and Callahan receives 689. A total of 1,544 ballots were cast in the election, the most in Ranch history. “Kim and I are both very happy with the results, especially the huge voter turnout,” said Boon at the time of her re-election. “It shows that people through See YEAR, page 21

out the community are engaged and interested in participating in the governance of Rancho Santa Fe. Kim and I look forward to rolling up our sleeves and working not only with the members of the board but with all the members of the community as well. The Association board has many projects on the table and Kim and I want to focus on the positive things we can all do together.” • Boon is re-elected board president in a 4-3 vote. Directors Putnam, Wilkinson and Jerry Yahr vote against the motion. McAllister is voted in as vice president, 4-3, and Eggleston is named treasurer in a unanimous vote. • Kathie Stillwater, also known as The Bug Lady, Mrs. Tallwater, Mrs. Watermelon and Mrs. Waterstill, retires af-

ter 35 years at the Village Preschool. “Kathie was a really good friend to children who were shy, quiet or sad. It was funny to see this great tall person next to a 3-year-old and they’re making a connection,” said staff member Mary Floyd. • The RSF Association approves a tree management plan for the back nine holes of the Golf Club, the removal of 56 trees, the replanting of 74 replacement trees and the elimination of more than 7.9 acres of turf.
July
• The Rancho Santa Fe School District receives the results from its interest survey on the possibility to rebuild the school gym: 54.3 percent of the community is not interested in supporting a bond on the November ballot at this time. Options to rebuild the
gym range from $19.2 million to $23.5 million. Of the survey’s respondents, 75.9 percent did not have elementary school-aged children and 81.2 percent did not have middle school-aged children. Thirty-eight percent of respondents are ages 50-64, and 31.5 percent are 65-plus. • A new car and a new officer for the RSF Patrol are made possible through the Local Agency Formation Commission, activating the Rancho Santa Fe Community Service District’s latent powers to provide security, in addition to the other services they provide. The Patrol had not seen a staff increase for 12 years, since the 2001-02 fiscal year. • The San Dieguito Union High School District allows all 190 waitlisted freshmen into their school of choice after parents complain that students were not
being accepted into neighborhood schools of San Dieguito and Canyon Crest academies. A committee is formed to look at different ways the district can enroll its students. • The committee exploring a potential pool and fitness center for Rancho Santa Fe zeroes in on a workable location and comes up with a tentative price tag. A site between the Player’s Club of the RSF Golf Club and the tennis club is presented at a July 15 meeting, as well as a potential $10 million-$15 million price tag. • Rancho Santa Fe Library welcomes new branch manager Haley Kwon. Kwon replaces Caryl Andrews, who was transferred to Poway. “It’s a smaller branch so I can be much more thoughtful and much more participatory, sharing ideas with the staff and the com-
munity about what they’d like to see more of in the collection and in the programs,” Kwon said.
August • The RSF Golf Club moves up its turf removal project after finding out that it can get a $1,620,000 rebate for the project from the Metropolitan Water District. Originally the turf removal was scheduled to be done over two years, but the club expects to complete the entire project within 160 days, a deadline of Dec. 24. • The Covenant Design Review Committee makes procedural changes to the way it does business, hoping for a more streamlined and transparent CDRC. With the changes, applicants and consultants are allowed to be present during the committee’s discussion and recommendations, meetings are open to all members, not
just the involved parties, and the final application step is now be performed administratively instead of at a scheduled meeting. In September, Building Commissioner Robert Green reports that the changes have had a positive effect. “We want it to be inviting,” Wilkinson says of the CDRC. “We want to find a way to say yes.” • The Association begins to audio-record meetings to promote transparency. • The RSF Garden Club goes up for sale. • Cindy Schaub, RSF School District;s assistant superintendent of educational services, leaves for a new position in the South Bay Union School District after eight years in the district. Rather than fill her position, the district elects to give new See YEAR, page 22
