Farmers Market plan draws opposition

2013 kicks off at RSF Golf Club
16 El Tordo residents sign petition against proposed event BY KAREN BILLING A petition signed by 16 El Tordo residents was sent to the Rancho Santa Fe Association in opposition to the proposed village farmers market. The market has been proposed for Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on El Tordo, between Avenida de Acacias and La Granada. The Association has not taken a position on the market yet and it is still in the planning stage, but neighbors worry about the idea gaining too much momentum, according to El Tordo resident Elizabeth Monge, who spoke during public comment at the Jan. 3 RSF Association meeting. “None of us on El Tordo want this farmers market. We already have one in Fairbanks Ranch and Solana Beach, “ Monge said. Monge spoke of the petition effort started by resiSee MARKET, page 25

The Pantry sold; new owners to reopen restaurant Jan. 16 BY KAREN BILLING The Pantry restaurant in the Rancho Santa Fe village has been sold and will reopen on Wednesday, Jan. 16, under new ownership with slight tweaks to the menu. Mozy Jahanguiri, who has a background in restaurants in Chicago, Minneapolis and Dallas, purchased the eatery on Jan. 1. The restaurant on Paseo Delicias was undergoing some renovations this week as
Jahanguiri built a new wine cellar for his collection of over 2,000 bottles of French and American wines. The Pantry name and menu will remain mostly the same. “We will add more fish, more beef and other changes slowly, not right away,” Jahanguiri said. Jahanguiri, who has an MBA and serves as an advisor to Southern Methodist University, was looking to get back into See PANTRY, page 25

RSF Association to consider membership changes at Golf Club BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association is considering proposed membership changes at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club — including a revision of the non-resident associate membership and one which would create a “junior executive” membership category that allows new members under age 48 to spread out their enrollment fees in installments. For example, if a new member joins at age 40, under this membership category they would have eight years to pay the $50,000 enrollment fee. “I think as a marketing tool in advance for people moving here, it could be
very powerful,” said director Craig McAllister. Notice of the proposed changes was sent out to Golf Club members two months ago and, according to Golf Club General Manager Al Castro, the feedback has been supportive of the changes. For the club’s resident associate and former resident associate memberships, the club is looking to reduce the time of residency in the Covenant from 10 years to five years. The resident associate membership is for people who have been members in the club but moved to a Covenant property that See GOLF, page 26
Gun shows dodge bullet at fair board meeting BY JOE TASH A Del Mar woman’s grass-roots bid to end future gun shows at the Del Mar Fairgrounds prompted hundreds to sign an online petition, but appeared to miss hitting a bulls-eye with the appointed board that oversees the state-owned fairgrounds. Rosanne Holliday generated enthusiasm and media attention when she post-
ed a sign in her front yard urging an end to gun shows at the fairgrounds, following last month’s deadly rampage by a lone gunman at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. At Tuesday’s (Jan. 8) meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, Holliday and several other See SHOW, page 25
Feb. 28 deadline for public input on proposed roundabouts BY KAREN BILLING RSF residents are welcome to weigh in on the proposal for three roundabouts on Paseo Delicias/Del Dios Highway. The San Diego County project’s draft environmental impact report began circulating on Dec. 10 and people have until Thursday, Feb. 28, to submit written public comment on the project that would
create roundabouts at the highway’s intersections at Via de la Valle/La Fremontia, El Camino Del Norte and El Montevideo/La Valle Plateada. The Rancho Santa Fe Association board is expected to discuss the item at one of its February meetings. The DEIR studied three project alternatives as well as the roundabouts, includ-
ing no build, signalized intersections and a combined roundabouts and stop sign alternative. The County Board of Supervisors can select any of the project alternatives. According to the studies, the signalized intersection alternative is the environmentally superior alternative because of its reduced impact on biological re-
sources and less of an impact on traffic during the construction period. The roundabouts would significantly impact biological resources during construction but per the report, all of those impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. Efforts can be made to not impact existing

Buzz: Election, priorities update BY PRESIDENT ROXANA FOXX, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD PRESIDENT January marks the Roxana Foxx halfway point in our fiscal year as well as the midpoint of my final year on the board. As I indicated in my last “Buzz,” on June 30 there will be three board members retiring: Anne Feighner, Eamon Callahan and I. To fill the open seats, the board has established the annual Nominating Committee as required in the Association bylaws. This year, the committee is comprised of Susan Bien, Anne Feighner, Tom Lang, Tim Sullivan and I. It will be our job as a committee to identify up to five candidates to fill the open positions, and we have until March 8 to do so. If you have any interest in serving on the board please feel free to contact any one of the committee members. As I said last month, serving on the Association board is a
great experience, and is also a great way to give back a little to our outstanding community. Last week the board held our annual mid-year Retreat to assess the progress on our goals for the year and to revisit our priorities. Overall I am pleased with the progress we have made so far, particularly given all of the things that we are trying to accomplish this year. We are continuing to make progress on our number one priority of increasing community awareness through the efforts of our Community Awareness Committee, or CAC. The new website, which will be a key component of getting out current and important information to our members, should be ready in March for a test run for the board. Additionally, we are working closely with the Golf Club board to assist them in their efforts to reach out to the community to encourage greater participation in the restaurant, as well as becoming active golfing members. If their future events are as much fun as the New Year’s Eve party I attended last week, I feel confident that increasing
participation will not take much work at all. The board has also decided to focus our efforts on the Osuna Ranch property and identify ways to showcase the adobe and to make the property more accessible to our entire membership. Subject to some buyer due diligence and member notification, we recently agreed to terms with a potential buyer for the Osuna Ranch house. We are optimistic that the sale will be completed within 60 days. Securing broadband coverage for the entire community continues to be a challenge. The committee is continuing to meet with the major providers to identify the best possible options for the community, but providing acceptable coverage is very difficult. Our topography and our low density of users continue to be the main hurdles. The board fully understands how important this issue is for many of the members and we will continue to pursue it. To end on a positive note, last June the Association took a charge-off of $350,000 against revenue for uncollectable past due
assessments. So far this year we have collected almost $100,000 of the loss. The Finance Committee continues to be very aggressive in the collection of past due accounts, including the filing of civil actions, and we anticipate further recoveries before
the end of the year. I am excited about the significant progress we have made on our goals for the year as I firmly believe that they will have a positive impact on our community for years to come.

RSF resident’s Tolani Collection of women’s wear worn by celebrities, sold around world BY DIANE Y. WELCH From its humble beginnings as a business run out of a modest guest room to its current stature as a global company with operations in a 15,000-sq.-ft. warehouse, the Tolani Collection has exploded in just seven years. Founded by Rancho Santa Fe resident — and mother of two — Alka Tolani, the collection, comprising her signature vibrant silk garments and accessories, has risen rapidly in the highly competitive mainstream market and is a leader in the ready-to-wear wholesale fashion industry. What started as a cottage industry by Tolani – the creative and energetic powerhouse behind the designs – is now an entire line of women’s wear. Tolani’s clothing includes tunics, skirts, shorts, jump suits, dresses, jackets and more – from petite to plus sizes to maternity and everything in between. Made from top-grade, high-density, washable silk, each garment has unique colors that pop, intricate patterns, and a feminine cut, said Tolani. “It looks and feels amazing and makes a woman look great,” she added. Tolani has come a long way since her days as a school room mom and an avid PTA member who initially sold Tolani silk scarves – an introductory product that aided the learning curve – to benefit local charities. Her business took a pivotal shift when movie star Jessica Alba was photographed wearing a Tolani scarf to an LA Lakers game. That brought coverage in popular fashion magazines and helped make other Hollywood A-list stars take notice. Today Tolani designs are worn by more than 100 celebrities. With that popularity came an increase in demand and now the entire Tolani family is on board with the day-today running of what has become House of Tolani. Raj, Tolani’s husband, a scientist who creates software companies, is in charge of all logistics operations; son, Vijay, helps in the warehouse with administration and packing; and Aishya, recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in art, and marketing and communications, helps with designing and trade shows. Born and raised in India, Alka Tolani has been in the USA since she was 22. Her business strengthens her ties to India where production takes place. With a background in art and economics, Tolani has the ideal balance of creative and analytical skills to make her business successful. The company has over six different showrooms in the
Alka Tolani with pieces from the Tolani Collection U.S. and the lines are sold in Italy, Spain, Australia, Germany, Canada, Japan, and soon in Sweden, Finland and France. On her team, Tolani has three technical designers who take her ideas and perfect them. She also connects with fashion editors and industry insiders, and listens and learns from them. In response, details are adapted and edited. “We are constantly adding and subtracting until the last minute when the product line is complete. It’s a beautiful process,” Tolani said. Adding to the popularity of the collection is its uniqueness and its affordable price point. “We saw that there was a deficit in the mainstream market and our product filled that deficit,” said Tolani. The lines are carried by many top-rated fashion boutiques and well-known stores. Tolani supplies to Bergdorf Goodman, Kitson, Madison, Fred Segal, Neiman Marcus,
Saks Fifth Ave, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and more. “We supply to most of the shops where Hollywood celebrities shop,” said Tolani. Already working on designs for fall of 2013, Tolani shared that a new line will be introduced that departs from the jazzy patterns that have helped shape the Tolani brand. It will be manufactured from muted tones of plaid cotton flannel and twill. Jackets made with leather accents will be another new addition. With a more contemporary, edgy look, it’s a line that will appeal to the younger market, and one that she hopes Aishya, who has studied fashion at London’s Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, and Parsons’ the New school for Design, will be more involved with, said Tolani. It takes a creative mind, great motivation and a positive attitude to put a fashion business together, added Tolani, who said that she is still learning. When asked what’s ahead, Tolani was quick to respond, “I want to take it public, I want to have more distributors covering all the world. I love the nuts and the bolts of the business, it’s so exciting, it’s beautiful.” Visit http://www.tolanicollection.info/ to find out where the Tolani Collection is sold through retail.

‘Masters of Motown’ to perform at next Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe event During the third concert of the season on Friday, Jan. 25, at 7 p.m., The Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe will be presenting the musical stylings of the Masters of Motown. This 10-member cast seamlessly blends the sounds of three male vocalists, three female vocalists, the guitar, bass, drums and keys to recreate an entire Motor City experience. The show features an entirely live performance in which the cast transforms into Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, Diana Ross and The Supremes, and even The Jackson Five. Masters of Motown has been called the most entertaining history lesson ever performed. This show authentically reproduces the look, choreography, style and sound made famous by a record label that was relatively unknown at the time but went on to profoundly influence the history of popular music. The performance goes beyond the music to preserve the integrity of the entire Motown experience. For many, Masters of Motown is the ultimate stroll down memory lane. For
younger generations, the show offers a way to experience a period in our country’s past that produced many of the greatest music acts ever recorded. Based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, this completely live performance group of seasoned musicians and world-class artists has performed to numerous sold-out audiences. They have garnered rave reviews across the country at venues ranging from community theaters and universities to performing arts venues and concert halls. The Masters of Motown will take you on a stroll down memory lane, in which you can celebrate and reminisce some great legends of musical history. Just like each concert this year, the performance will commence at the Village Church Fellowship Hall. Hors d’oeuvres will be served starting at 6:15 p.m., followed by a spectacular performance beginning at 7 p.m. For additional information, see the Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe website at www.communityconcertsofrsf.com.

Elizabeth (“Bette”) Cope passed away peacefully on Jan. 3, 2013, at the age of 89. Bette was born Nov. 18, 1923 in Lowell, Mass., the first of Hazel and Robert Burns’ three children. The family moved to Bangor, Maine, when Bette was 10. She graduated from Bangor High, and is a proud alumnus of Westbrook College, Portland, Maine. The Burns family relocated to Southern California when Bette was 20. Two years later she became a stewardess for United Airlines, based in San Francisco. Bette always enjoyed telling stories of those early days of commercial aviation. In 1953, she married William (Bill) Cunningham. They had a successful insurance company in Pasadena, Calif. After Bill passed away, Bette relocated to Rancho Santa Fe. She lived there for 40 years and was active in many civic, social and political endeavors, including the RSF Republican Women, Fed., Bette Cope the RSF Garden Club, and the Village Presbyterian Church. Bette believed in the causes of the San Diego Navy League and the USO, which support active-duty servicemen and their families domestically and overseas. Two or three times a year, at the San Diego USO, Bette organized and cooked dinners for up to 300 members of military families. She also created and organized an annual “spa day” for wives of servicemen overseas. Bette enjoyed multiple careers in insurance, real estate, interior design, and retail, when she owned The Country Squire Gift shop. In 1987, she married Cmdr. Alfred Cope (USN), a long-time friend and Pearl Harbor survivor. Alfred and Bette enjoyed traveling to Savannah, Ga., Alfred’s birthplace, and to other parts of the South to visit family and friends. They also attended many Navy reunions over the years. They both loved dancing, entertaining friends, traveling, and spending time together at home. Alfred passed away in 2004. As much as she loved Rancho Santa Fe, after a few years Bette realized she needed to be closer to her niece and nephews in Northern California. In 2009, she moved to Saint Helena, where she became involved with the First Presbyterian Church of St. Helena, local Republican Women, Fed., the Rianda House, and the local social life. In November 2012, she organized an elaborate 89th birthday party with cocktails, dinner, music, and dancing. What a fun gala. She had a great time that evening. Ever cheerful and positive, Bette always had something complimentary to say. Please share your fond memories of Bette with the family by visiting MorrisonFuneralChapel.com Bette is survived by her niece, Bonnie Schoch of St. Helena, nephews Bruce Nye (Risa) of Oakland, Christopher Nye (Elaine) of Alameda, granddaughter, Cyndy Rhamy (Michael) of Valley Center. She was pre-deceased by her sister Marilyn Nye and brother Robert Burns. Funeral services will be held Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013, at 2 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, 1428 Spring Street, St. Helena, Calif. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that friends and family make a donation in Bette’s name to The Rianda House Senior Activity Center, 1475 Main Street, St. Helena, CA 94574 or the charity of your choice. A Rancho Santa Fe celebration of Bette’s life is being planned. Details soon.

Are you an ethical person? The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute to hold six-week course The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present “Living with Integrity: Navigating Everyday Ethical Dilemmas.” The course is accredited for 7.5 CLE legal ethics credits in the state of California. The institute’s new six-session Winter 2013 course will begin during the week of Feb. 4. Rabbi Levi Raskin of the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the six-week course sessions at 7 p.m. on Mondays at The Morgan Run Club and Resort “There’s a lot of talk about ethics for government and big corporations, but almost every day we confront complex ethical decisions in our own relationships,” said Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s headquarters in New York. “From Nanny cams to our responsibilities to our parents, ‘Living with Integrity’ will provide a framework for making balanced decisions for ourselves and for the people we care about.” Packed with real-life scenarios, “Living with Integrity” challenges students to articulate their own opinions, while providing practical Talmudic wisdom to help them navigate through life’s inevitable ethical challenges. This course will not only provide the tools to make appropriate decisions, it will also enhance their interaction with family and friends. Like all previous JLI programs, “Living with Integrity” is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-756-7571 or visit www.jewishRSF.com for registration and other course-related information.

RSF spine specialist helps people in need through foundation BY KATHY DAY Growing up in the shadows of a physician and a chemist, Kamshad Raiszadeh and his two brothers helped out a lot in the family’s clinical lab. Today all three are surgeons, with Kamshad and Ramin both spine specialists at the San Diego Spine Institute. The youngest, Kian, is a sports medicine specialist at Kaiser. “I always knew I was meant to be a physician,” Kamshad Raiszadeh, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, said in a recent interview. Born in Iraq, he grew up primarily in the Modesto area where his mother, a pathologist, was clinical director of the lab, and their dad, a Ph.D. chemist, was the businessman who ran the lab. He taught at Arizona State University before they moved to Northern California where they opened the lab. Raiszadeh stayed around that area for college, graduating from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco School of Medicine, before heading off to UC Davis for his orthopedic residency. It was there that his love of sports — particularly soccer and tennis which he played competitively into college — and his interest in orthopedics came together in his focus on the spine. Spine surgery “is very structured and an artistic field,” he said, adding that he particularly enjoys it because it is a “huge, evolving field.” As he progressed through his 16 years in practice, he said he noticed “something is not right” with the fact that in the U.S. back surgery is performed at more than three times the rates of Great Britain. He’s also studied medical practices in Scandinavia and has seen a “system that is empowering patients.” Concluding that there’s got to be a better way, the Spine Institute’s goal, according to its website, is “to maximize function through muscle preservation and strengthening” through a fitness program targeting spinal muscles. It adds: “If surgery is required, we employ the latest endoscopic minimally invasive techniques to preserve muscle function. We
Dr. Kamshad Raiszadeh Courtesy photo also specialize in disc replacement and joint preservation surgeries.” Raiszadeh, who also serves as medical director of the Advanced Spine Institute Minimally Invasive Spine Center at Alvarado Hospital, said he has also learned much about gaps in the healthcare system and has seen the “massive impact” paralysis can have on families. That knowledge has taught him the value of giving back, he said. Eight years ago he founded SHaRE, the Spine Humanitarian and Research Education foundation. “I thought, ‘Why not help through a charitable organization and get others to help,’” he said. Through the nonprofit he has provided care for “undocumented workers who had no way of getting help,” others who have had their workers’ compensation claims denied, and single moms. He has also provided funds to support biomedical research into disc and nuclear replacement alternatives for disc degeneration being conducted at the University of Toledo. His efforts have international ties, too. He received a call from a woman whose husband worked at the U.S. consulate in Brunei, describing her daughter’s severe scoliosis and heart deformities. “It was so severe it would have destroyed her life,” he said, acknowledging that Jaska’s case was “above my head. I needed a lot of help.” Part of it came from specialists at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles who performed the heart surgery; Raiszadeh and his associates handled the spine operation. “We had tremendous success,” he said. Five years later she was the valedictorian of her eighth-grade class. “Without the surgery, it would have been a completely wasted life,” he added. In late December, his wife, Shirin – a former New York City assistant district attorney who he met while doing a fellowship at the Hospital for Joint Disease in New York — and daughter Sophie, a Solana Santa Fe Elementary School sixth grader, pitched in with a holiday event that raised money for SHaRE. They hosted a shopping get-together for friends at C. Wonder in Fashion Valley, with the shop donating 10 percent of the proceeds to the charity. Some people passing by the store also found out about the event and just donated, he said. Sophie, at 11, is the oldest of the couple’s four children; they have another daughter and two sons, with the youngest a 3-year-old. Sophie and her older brother both share their dad’s love of tennis and play competitively. Soccer is also a big part of their lives. Raiszadeh says that he tries to teach is children not to be self-absorbed. And while he’s proud of his charitable efforts, he is shy about boasting about them. It should always be about helping people who are less fortunate, he said. For more information, visit www.spinehumanitarian. org/ or sdspineinstitute.com

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Record-breaking singer and former longtime RSF resident Patti Page dies Editor’s note: This article contains quotations from a Solana Beach Sun article written by Diane Y. Welch who interviewed Patti Page in 2005.
BY DIANE Y. WELCH On New Year’s Day the world of music lost an icon when Patti Page, whose 1950s hits include “(How Much is That) Doggie in the Window?” and “Tennessee Waltz,” died of heart failure. She was 85 years old and was looking forward to next month’s GRAMMY celebrations when she was to be honored with a lifetime achievement award. “Just last week we were discussing the transportation and what outfit she should wear,” said Michael Glynn, her Massachusettsbased manager. “She was just beaming, she really wanted to be a part of it.” Known as “The Singing Rage,” because of her smooth vocal style that had universal appeal, Page said, “Retirement isn’t in my vocabulary,” when interviewed in 2005 by the Solana Beach Sun, as her career approached its seventh decade. Page had lived in Rancho Santa Fe for 30 years before she moved to Solana

Beach, 12 years ago. She died at the Seacrest Village nursing home in Encinitas. Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, on Nov. 8, 1927, Page’s roots in entertainment started in a nearby church in Tulsa. “I sang alongside two of my sisters, Ruby and Rema. They called me a little ham,” recalled Page who changed her name from Clara Ann Fowler when she left home at the age of 18 to begin her career. Growing up during the Great Depression she was the next to the young-
est in a family with 11 children. “We were poor but we had no shortage of love,” she said. An unparalleled recordbreaking artist, she has sold more than a 100 million records, has earned 15 gold records, has charted 111 hits, recorded one hit that exclusively sold 20 million copies –“Tennessee Waltz”– and was the first artist to use over-dubbing techniques in the studio, allowing her to sing both lead and accompanying harmonies.
During her career she performed for five U.S. Presidents, an accomplishment that Page regards as her dearest, and had an impromptu jazz session with the King of Thailand, who played his clarinet whilst Page sang. “He also told me that he learned English while watching my shows on TV,” said Page. In the 1950s she was featured on “Person To Person,” a television show hosted by legendary interviewee Edward R. Murrow, an accolade that was shared with presidents and royalty. She also appeared as a guest star on the game show, “What’s My Line,” and starred in her own variety shows, which included a twice weekly NBC show, “Oldsmobile presents Patti Page” ; CBS’s “The Big Record”; and ABC’s “The Patti Page Show.” Another record breaker that has not been matched: Page is the only performer to have had shows bearing her name on all three major networks. In recent years Page starred in local PBS music specials. It was during the year of her 50th anniversary in show business that PBS filmed a retrospective
of her life and career. She has also been honored by the Puccini Foundation, which recognized her achievements in the arts, and was inducted into the Casino Legend Hall of Fame for her numerous appearances in Las Vegas Casinos. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has been inducted into the Country Music Walk of Fame, just two of many honors earned. In 1997, Mercury, her former recording label, staged a retrospective at Carnegie Hall for Page who starred with guest artists whom she had not seen for decades. The lineup of songs were then captured on CD for which Page earned her first GRAMMY award in 1999. Before Page passed away the rights to her music were licensed to a writer/ producer to create a musical and last month it played off Broadway for 10 days. There are plans for the show to do a national tour. “I hope Patti’s legacy lives on forever,” said Glynn. “She contributed so much to the entertainment industry.” Page leaves behind a son, Daniel O’Curran; a
Vintage Patti Page daughter, Kathleen Ginn; a sister, Peggy Leyton; 14 grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren. The Solana Beach Presbyterian Church held a public viewing on Wednesday, Jan. 9. Page was interred in El Camino Memorial Cemetery in Sorrento Valley. Flowers may be sent to El Camino Memorial, Sorrento Valley, 5600 Carroll Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92121. Memorial donations may be made to Society of Singers, Inc., 26500 W. Agoura Rd., 102-554, Calabasas, CA 91302 or GRAMMY Foundation, Attn: Annual Giving, 3030 Olympic Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90404

Rancho Santa Fe Review
For RSF soccer star, success is the name of the game • TPHS grad now an MVP player at Dartmouth BY ROB LEDONNE As a young girl living in sunny Rancho Santa Fe, Jackie Friedman emulated her older sister. This was especially true when she’d attend her club matches and dreamt of being out on the field with her. Little did she know at the time, that was the start of an ongoing passion that’s guided her throughout her entire life. “I used to go to all of my sister’s games and ended up starting to play when I was about 5 years old,” remembers Friedman from her home in Rancho Santa Fe during Christmas break. “I actually hated playing at first, but I stuck with it and realized I was good... so I kept on doing it.” Friedman not only kept on doing it, she became one of the area’s biggest soccer success stories after recently receiving a smattering of accolades while playing collegiate soccer for Dartmouth College. But like any classic success story, there was a lot of hard work along the way — and most of that took place in North County. “I played soccer all the time, even with the boys at recess. It was just always really fun to me,” said Friedman, who first played on a recreation team simply because there were no clubs that accepted players under 8 years old. Friedman’s debut on an actual team was playing for the Rancho Santa Fe Attack, followed by a longer stint with the Surf soccer club, playing there until she was 18. In addition to the soccer clubs, Friedman also played varsity for Torrey Pines High School and racked up numerous accolades, including being voted team MVP, and as a result steadily gained a reputation in the San Diego area as a rising star; all the more impressive since she kept her grades high the entire time. All the while, her parents were there providing support: “My mom and dad went to all my games, whether it was high school, club, or summer rec. When they didn’t come I’d be freaking out.” Stellar grades or buzzed-about playing are two separate factors that woo colleges, but the two together made Friedman a score for any school searching for an exemplary addition to their campus. “I never was someone who had a dream school, I just knew I wanted to use soccer to get the best education I could possibly get,” Friedman explains. “Ivy League schools popped up, and at first I was looking at Pepperdine and Columbia, among others. I went to so many campuses, but Dartmouth wound up to be the best fit for me.” Arriving on Dartmouth’s campus in Hanover, New
Jackie Friedman playing for Dartmouth. Hampshire, thousands of miles from the ocean waves in San Diego may be a culture shock for some students, but Friedman explains that soccer made the transition a bit easier: “Because I joined the team there, I had to be on campus two weeks before everyone else and was on a very strict schedule,” she remembers. After quickly acclimating to the school during the fall of her freshman year in 2011, she soon realized how different playing collegiate soccer is from smaller clubs and teams. “It’s just 100 percent all of the time,” explains Friedman of its intensity. “You need to be constantly game ready, even during practices. You never have your own spot, so you’re constantly fighting to maintain it. It’s just elevated competition.”
We Are Buying ...Immediate Cash Paid
However, just as Friedman was a standout in San Diego she became a standout at Dartmouth. Since first playing she’s been a starter every game, and all of her hard-work paid off this past September when she was voted team MVP, something made all the more sweet since she’s become best friends with her teammates. “I just love all the girls on the team; I love being able to spend time with them.” At the same time, she made the Dean’s list— not an easy task at an Ivy League school where playing a sport that takes up much of her time. Friedman is typically optimistic about her future, which includes a Jackie Friedman when she trip to Europe she’s taking played for Del Mar Surf. with her team to play and be a tourist this coming summer. “We’re going to England and Scotland to play a few games. I’m really looking forward to it.” Nowadays when she comes back to the area to visit, she can’t help but reminisce as she passes all the places that shaped her life. “It brings up so many memories and thoughts. For example, I’ve spent so many hours of my life playing on the Polo Fields, during surf clubs and national league, between practice and running. I was there constantly from when I was 11 to when I was 18. Now, when I see the really young soccer players out there it makes me sad I can never do that again.” As for her proudest moment in a sea of them, Friedman can’t pinpoint one in particular: “I really don’t know. I was happy just getting into college, but I’m trying to take whatever happens in stride.”

Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate: 2012 Performance Summary When comparing 2011 to 2012, Rancho Santa Fe real estate (defined for the purpose of this analysis as all attached and detached residential properties listed with the San Diego Multiple Listing Service for the 92067 and 92091 zip codes) continues to improve. Actually, the pace of improvement continues to accelerate. 2012 was the strongest recovery year to date. Inventory declined to record lows creating an environment for higher values. Specifically, in 2012, the average number of properties available for sale was 250 versus 311 in 2011. This 19.8% decline in inventory created a supply shortage which helped to increase the overall median value 13.1%. However, it was not just a decline in supply that boosted median value. Overall demand rose in 2012, as well. The number of properties sold rose 23.1% with 261 properties sold in 2012 compared to 212 properties in 2011. 2012 sellers were very aware of this improved market strength. Witnessing the shortage in supply and increased demand, the majority of sellers refused to budge as much from their original listing prices as they did in 2011. In 2011, the median discount sellers gave buyers off the original listing price was 19.7%. In 2012, that declined to 15.0%, equating to a 23.8% decline. Despite firmer pricing, however, fewer sellers listed their property for sale. There was a 6.2% decline in new listings in 2012, suggesting that many sellers believe current valuations will continue to rise.

Original Listing Price: less than $3 million Of all the price groups, properties with an original listing price less than $3 million had the largest percentage median value increase and inventory decline. Between 2011 and 2012, median value increased 15%. Specifically, median value rose from $1,500,000 in 2011 to $1,725,250 in 2012. Clearly, much of this increase stemmed from a 28.4% decline in year-over-year inventory. Average daily inventory in 2011 was 164 properties, whereas in 2012 it dropped to only 117 properties. An important ratio when analyzing inventory or supply is the following: (average daily inventory) / (number of sold properties). As this ratio increases, more relative supply is available, thus typically pushing prices downward. Contrarily, as this ratio approaches zero, relative supply contracts, typically pushing prices higher. Generally, this ratio is greater than one, even multiples of one. In 2012, this ratio went below one, i.e. 164 / 173 = 0.95. Of all the price groups, this was the only one to fall below one, suggesting a strong seller’s market. This was further supported by a 17.4% decline in marketing time and a 25.2% decline in median discount from original listing price.
Located in the exclusive gated enclave of The Bridges, this elegant custom estate exudes European elan and showcases views of the fifth fairway of The Bridges golf course. With alluring Mediterranean architecture and lush landscaping anchored by stately matured trees, the villa makes a stunning first impression. The luxe ambiance continues inside this approximately 7,800 square foot residence with a grand foyer opening to the formal living and dining rooms. The home is designed for effortlessly elegant living and entertaining with spacious rooms that flow into each other and to the outside.
Offered at $3,275,000
Original Listing Price: $3 million - $5 million While this price group not only strongly improved compared to 2011, in some respects, one could assess this price group as the strongest of the price groups, because it showed more consistency of strength across the various performance metrics. For example, the lowest price group, properties with an original list price less than $3 million, had the highest median price appreciation but the lowest percentage increase in sales; whereas, the highest price group had the highest percentage increase in sales, but the lowest median value appreciation. Each of the other price groups had their weakness of strength. This price group cut through the middle, showing balanced strength in sales and valuation. This is a key feature when assessing a price group. Not only are we looking for its strengths relative to the other price groups, but we are also looking for cracks in the foundation that we need to keep an eye on. Sometimes the strongest price group is the one not jettisoning ahead in a particular performance metric, but the one that is evenly rising across all its health checks. This price group exemplified that by showing a 10.7% increase in median value while the number of properties sold increased 31.7%, all while inventory was declining and marketing time shortening.
RSF-Santa Fe Valley $2,749,950
RSF-The Covenant $2,695,000
RSF-The Covenant $2,195,000
RSF-Rancho Valencia $1,995,000
Original Listing Price: $5 million or more
RSF-Cielo $5,995,000
RSF-The Covenant $5,250,000
Of all the price groups, properties with an original listing price equal to or greater than $5 million is the biggest turnaround story of 2012. For some time, this price group has struggled in relative performance to the other groups…sometimes statistically even looking like it was going to stumble backward. Nevertheless, in 2012, much of that changed. Specifically, the number of properties sold increased over 40% with 34 properties sold in 2012 compared to 24 in 2011. Moreover, not only did significantly more properties sell in 2012, but median value increased nearly 9% with the median sold price going from $4,375,000 in 2011 to $4,750,000 in 2012. However, while inventory and discounts off of list price remained flat, average marketing time dramatically increased from 12 months to 18 months in 2012. Obviously, as has been the course for this price group, buyers are still being patient and committed to price. Yet, with a 40% increase in the number of properties sold and an increase in median value, it appears more buyers are agreeing with sellers’ valuations.

Work by RSF painter Connie McCoy on exhibit at L Street Gallery The L Street Gallery in downtown San Diego is featuring the work of Rancho Santa Fe resident Connie McCoy in its show “Changing Currents.” A reception was held Jan. 5 for the show (reception photos on this page). After earning B.S. degree from the University of Cincinnati, College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, she had a successful career in advertising and graphic design, owned her own business and won numerous awards because of her design abilities, art direction and marketing skills, McCoy then decided to dedicate more time to her passion for painting and studied with Sebastian Capella and Jeff Watts primarily. “The desire to paint is a gift.... No one can be as happy as an artist lost in their work,” McCoy said. “It is a wonderful passion. We all see differently and therefore interpret the world differently. There is room for constant growth which is great for the body, the soul and the mind.” For years, McCoy has painted representational in oils, always inspired by nature and the dramatic effects that lighting creates. She began pushing representational to an abstract level and found more excitement there. Loosening of the style to abstract allows her to be much bolder and expressive. She loves to develop texture with different glazes and media and the palette knife. McCoy has exhibited for years in the community at the Rancho Santa Fe Art Gallery, the RSF Library, the Wells Fargo Bank and the Scripps Encinitas Hospital to name a few.. She is excited to be featured in this show downtown which she says is more regional. She has found a kindred spirit in Rebecca Bauer, who is her co-feature artist in this show of “Changing Currents.” The “L” Street Gallery, owned by the Omni Hotel, is located at 628 L Street, San Diego, 92101.

RSF jeweler John Matty to reopen boutique Jan. 21 BY KELLEY CARLSON Jeweler John Matty has a surprise in store for his clients. His Rancho Santa Fe boutique has been closed since Christmas Eve, and the exterior decorated as if it were a large gift. While residents have been wondering what is behind the wrapping paper, Matty has been hard at work to bring his present into the future. When the store finally reopens on Jan. 21, customers will find that it bears Matty’s name, rather than that of another designer. They will also discover a newly remodeled interior, with richer wood colors and chocolate-hued fixtures in a presentation that is still contemporary. “We’re very excited,” said Matty, who became owner of the boutique in January 2010. At that time, he gutted and completely remodeled the store. “We still have the desire to create exceptional jewelry every day,” he said. “We still use the finest diamonds and stones.” Matty has been involved in the jewelry business for more than 30 years, often traveling the world in search of the rarest gems, jewelry and watches. He noted that he creates pieces to fit individuals’ lifestyles — from elegant earrings to exquisite engagement rings —and the merchandise is the same quality as that which is found in Beverly Hills and New York. In addition, Matty’s team can transform an “outdated” piece of jewelry into a modern timeless classic.

BY KELLEY CARLSON Using his own cutting-edge technique, one of Rancho Santa Fe’s newest hair stylists has the ability to conquer complex curls. Licensed cosmetologist Daniel Rosati recently relocated from the East Coast and set up shop at Studio Daniel Rosati Felando, where he is now taming all types of manes, including cowlicky tresses of local residents. “I like to leave hair somewhat longer, and then cut it vertically and create shorter layers, and yet at the same time give it the illusion of a one-length look,” he said. Among Rosati’s dedicated customers are women who have gone through menopause, whose hair is affected by the hormonal changes. “Hair can change; it can lose melanin and elasticity, and may be thinner,” he said. “It might get less curly or more curly,” and some spots may have more ringlets or waves than others. “Women’s hair may not recede ... but (their curls do) all kinds of crazy things,” Rosati added. “Everyone is different, with different hair and different personalities and lifestyles,” he further explained. “This is what makes my work so interesting. And, of course, you have to take the client’s facial structure into consideration when you con-

sider the cut.” Yet Rosati is up to the challenge. “Most women like easy maintenance today, and I came up with a technique for a cut that requires no maintenance; it can just air dry,” he said. Rosati has had plenty of time to perfect his methods. He first entered the profession 28 years ago as a barber with his father, Charles, who is still cutting men’s hair at age 70 in New Jersey. Working in a Puerto Rican and Italian neighborhood, Rosati became accustomed to handling curly hair. He gained additional experience working with top stylists in New York, such as the renowned Frederic Fekkai and Stephen Knoll. “I got into the trade to do men’s hair, but eventually I turned into being a unisex stylist,” Rosati said. Several months ago, Rosati arrived on the West Coast, drawn to the quiet, laidback nature of Rancho Santa Fe. While he works in the Ranch’s Covenant and resides in Del Mar, he continues to own a salon in Princeton, N.J. Rosati said his clients often seek his advice on the most flattering style. “I like to get to know them, and I love helping women look beautiful,” he said. “If a client looks better, she will feel better.” And Rosati emphasizes that he also cuts men’s hair, preferring to use the scissorsover-comb technique rather than clippers. To see Rosati in action, go to www.youtube.com and type “Daniel Rosati Haircutter” in the search box. He is based at Studio Felando, 16921 Via de Santa Fe in Rancho Santa Fe; www.studiofelando.com.

The goal of the lecture series is to inform, inspire and impact by providing a forum in which individuals, renown in their field, share their knowledge, wisdom and experience with members of our community. Zamperini’s life was literally one in the record books by the time he became a bombardier during World War II. In high school, he set the world high school record for the mile. During the 1936 Olympics and also at the University of Southern California he continued to set records. But what really made his life remarkable is what he endured in World War II. On a routine mission, his aircraft crashed into the Pacific Ocean. Zamperini and other crew members survived in a life raft for 47 days, unknowingly drifting into Japanese-controlled waters. They were rescued by the Japanese but then placed into Japanese prison camps. It was here that Zamperini encountered a guard who tried for two years to break his spirit with verbal and physical cruelty, but the strong spirit that had been his trademark throughout his life enabled him to outlast the guard.

First new county supervisor in 18 years takes office BY SARAH SAPEDA City News Service The first new member elected to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors since 1995 was sworn in Jan. 7, along with two longtime members who were re-elected to the panel. Dave Roberts, a Solana Beach councilman and deputy mayor, succeeded Pam SlaterPrice, who represented the region from Encinitas and Escondido to northern San Diego for nearly two decades before retiring. Roberts became the only Democrat on the board when he took the oath of office before an overflow audience at the County Operations Center. Roberts defeated Steve Danon, chief of staff to ex-Rep. Brian Bilbray, in a November runoff. Neither received more than 50 percent of the vote in the June primary election. “Today, we turn the page to a new chapter in the 162-year history book of San Diego County,’’ Roberts said. “I’m the first new supervisor in 18 years — the first member of that next generation of leaders on our county Board of Supervisors — and I know I’m joining a great team of people, one that has turned the county around.’’ He said he believes he will bring a new “activist perspective’’ on some issues, and a shared vision on others. He didn’t specify
the issues. Roberts listed several goals, including maintaining fiscal discipline, sustaining the environment, protecting neighborhoods from over-development and reviewing foster care and adoption policies. The new supervisor is the father of five adopted children. Supervisors Greg Cox and Dianne Jacob were both re-elected outright in June. Cox bested Deputy City Attorney Brant Will to continue to represent the district, which includes the southern region of San Diego, the cities of Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach and National City, along with the unincorporated communities of Bonita and Point Loma. Jacob cruised to re-election for her East County seat over Rudy Reyes, an archaeologist who was severely burned in the 2003 Cedar Fire. He also unsuccessfully challenged Jacob in 2008. Cox and Jacob both listed public safety and fire protection as their main priorities. “My goal in the coming years will be to make this region the best prepared we can possibly be, not just for fire but for any kind of emergency,’’ Jacob said. Combined, the supervisors represent more than 3 million residents and oversee a nearly $5 billion budget.

Local resident focuses on biodiversity in north coastal San Diego
BY KATHY DAY Next time you’re out surfing or walking along the beach, look to the east and imagine what it looked like 200,000 years ago when camels roamed the land. That’s a favorite part of the speech Michael Wall, Ph.D., likes to include when he’s talking about the San Diego Natural History Museum – which is now known as The Nat – and the biodiversity of the north coastal part of San Diego. The Solana Beach resident has been the Balboa Park museum’s curator of entomology since January 2006. He is also the director of the Biodiversity Research Center of the Californias (BRCC), as well as vice president of research and public programs. He worked on the 2010 BioBlitz at Torrey Pines State Reserve where 530 different species of insects were identified along with 11 of the 25 species of amphibian and reptiles that have been documented in the reserve.
Newell’s Shearwater: The first known specimen of the bird native to the Hawaiian Islands to be found on the North American continent PHOTO/DANA MCLAUGHLIN
“There is a lot of biodiversity in our backyard,” he said in a recent interview, adding that the BRCC is truly the scientific research center of Southern California and Baja California. “People typically think of the tropics or the Great Barrier Reef” when they think of biodiversity. In Wall’s roles he keeps a close watch on the changes the region is seeing – everything from changes in the ant population to the influx of invasive species. With research and exploring the region at the center of his work — and his personal interest in entymology — he is well positioned to tell the story about what’s being done at The Nat.
And while the public probably thinks of the museum as just that – a repository for the specimens found around the region and a place to study them – it is also a place where scientists are called on to work on special projects, Wall explained in a recent interview. “We do a lot of work for hire,” he said. “We might get a special request from the Torrey Pines State Park or the county, the state or the fairgrounds, and even sometimes the cities.” Often, the agencies need survey work done to meet regulatory requirements so the museum contracts to do such jobs as having its paleontologists keep an eye out for fossils during grading or having its botanists look for rare and endangered plant species. Among the specimens found over the years in the San Dieguito River Valley, for example, were a mammoth, a ground sloth and camels which had lived in the region as much as 200,000 years ago, giving Wall fodder for his public speaking engagements. The variety of what has See BIODIVERSITY, Page 24

BY KATHY DAY One of those who helped with The Nat’s Plant Atlas for about seven years was Del Mar resident Karen Rich. While she has been a botanist for 25 years and was on The Nat staff when she first took on her grid, she said that is “atypical. Most of the volunteers are not educated in botany.” Instead they are people who like the outdoors and are interested in their surroundings, she added. Museum staff holds regular training sessions to teach them how to get the samples and what is expected of them and then they pick the grid where they want to work. “I’m basically lazy so I picked the area where I live,” she said. That covered the area roughly between Via de la Valle, Del Mar Heights, I-5 to the west and Torrey Pines High School to the east. “It’s an urban area See SKILLS, Page 24

BIODIVERSITY continued from page 23 been found and catalogued by the staff and volunteers since the museum was founded in 1874 can be seen in a cursory survey of its records for the Del Mar region by the museum’s staff done for this newspaper: • In the botany collection there are 2,094 specimens, including 28 sensitive species. • The herpetology collection includes 103 specimens from Del Mar-Carmel Valley, 52 from Rancho Santa Fe, 27 from Cardiff, 31 from Encinitas and 38 from Leucadia, reports Bradford Hollingsworth, curator of that collection. • There are 272 specimens of birds of 137 species from the area. • Forty-one species of algae and diatoms were found to have washed up on the beach during 24 hours of bioblits. • In the mammal collection, museum experts mentioned one specimen that stands out – a kit fox, collected in 1931 at Rancho Santa Fe on Douglas Fairbanks’ Ranch. Today it
Rancho Santa Fe Review is found mostly in desert habitat. Scott Tremor, a mammalogist in the Department of Birds and Mammals, said via email that “Frank Stephens, noted in his 1921 annotated list of the mammals of San Diego County, California, that it was reasonably certain that the kit fox formerly occurred in the region between the sea and the mountains in San Diego County and that a few probably still persisted there. The 1931 specimen proved his theory.” There are other tales of unusual finds, including one told by Philip Unitt, who has been curator of birds and mammals since 1988. “I think the most notable is the Newell’s Shearwater found alive at Del Mar on Aug. 1 2007 — the first of this Hawaiian seabird found on the continent of North America,” he wrote. A piece he wrote for the museum’s website details the rare find by Charles Swanson, an Escondido man who was working with a crew to stabilize the bluffs along the railroad tracks in Del Mar “when he noticed a bird dive-bombing a co-worker. Suspecting
JUST IN!!
the bird was attracted by the light from the headlamp on his hardhat, Swanson suggested he turn the light off. He did so, but the bird continued to dive at him. The bird suddenly flew in front of him, landed, and squawked.” The story continues, with the bird coming back at Swanson’s co-worker, who ducked only to have the bird crash into a metal box nearby. “Thinking the bird was probably stunned or possibly hurt, Swanson picked it up carefully, finding it very docile, and placed it in a bed of iceplant along the cliff.” After a brief flight, the bird returned and Swanson left it in the iceplant when his shift ended. It was till there the next day, sitting by the metal box. At the end of his shift he took it home, eventually turning it over to Project Wildlife in Carlsbad. Many of the specimens in the museum’s collection have been contributed by the “citizen scientists” who play a key role in the effort to document the area’s biodiversity, Wall said. One particular approach they have used is having volunteers like Del Mar’s Karen Rich “adopt” grid squares –
a 3-mile-by-3-mile area – where they walk and document what they see. This approach has been used to create a Bird Atlas and a Plant Atlas. “We get baseline data to compare the past to use in the future,” Wall said, adding that between the 2010 BioBlitz and the Plant Atlas the area has been well covered. “We found several things that we thought were locally gone and new things that unfortunately included many invasive species.” When the Plant Atlas project began in 2003, the museum had 527 specimens; now the collection numbers 1,567. When you visit The Nat, you only see a tiny part of the work being done there. There’s much more behind the scenes and, from the exhibits to the research efforts, the staff aims, according to the www.sdnhm.org, “to interpret the natural world through research, education and exhibits; to promote understanding of the evolution and diversity of Southern California and the peninsula of Baja California; and to inspire in all a respect for nature and the environment.”
For Wall, it’s a personal and professional mission that he says gives them an eye on species “living on the edge” and a greater understanding of the local ecosystem.

SKILLS continued from page 23 — perhaps not so glamorous but it was interesting to learn what grows around where I live.” During walks with her husband she primarily focused on four natural spaces which she tried to visit once a month, all the while looking for flowers and fruit on trees, grasses, cacti, perennials and annuals – but not those cultivated. She found 200 different species in her wanderings, including two never before documented. One of those – a member of the night shade family — was in “the far reaches of her yard. There was only one plant and it never came back, she noted. The second, a member of the composite family – a kind of sunflower — was on
an SDG&E service road in the Gonzales Canyon behind TPHS. It was just a small patch when Rich, who speculated the seeds might have come in during construction of the power line, found it. A year later when she returned, it had expanded. She said she was always thoughtful in taking the samples and keeping notes that would be translated into labels for the specimens. Noting everything from where she found the flower to what color and how tall it was, she also took GPS readings to get exact locations. The idea, she explained, was to gather all of the information necessary so that “someone in five, 10, 100 years could look at a specimen in the herbarium and be able to picture its surroundings.”

MARKET continued from page 1 dents Gretchen and Jim Simpson, who talked to 20 people who live on El Tordo. Some did not want to get involved, one was in favor of the market and the rest signed the petition to note that they were strongly against the farmers market being on El Tordo and hoped the Association board would vote against it. The biggest area of resistance for neighbors is the parking on the street — Monge said that their street
SHOW continued from page 1 Del Mar residents asked the board not to approve any future contracts to hold gun shows at the fairgrounds. However, speakers in favor of the gun show ban were outnumbered about 2-1 by speakers in favor of continuing the shows. And following the comments by member of the public, the board showed little inclination to put a stop to the gun shows. Board president Adam Day said any board member can request consideration of a gun show ban on an up-
is often impacted negatively by delivery trucks and other trucks parking there, sometimes for long periods of time. “[The farmers market] is not great on a residential street, but people wouldn’t object to it being in the Association parking lot or the Garden Club,” Monge said. RSF Association Manager Pete Smith said the issue of the farmers market has not been formally placed on any upcoming agenda yet, but the interested parties will be notified when it is.
coming board agenda, but so far he has received no such requests from fellow board members. Day said he does not intend to bring the matter forward for discussion, so the 22nd DAA will continue with its current practice of hosting four events each year, which generate $324,000 in annual income for the fairgrounds. “California has the most stringent gun-control laws in the nation. These shows are heavily regulated,” said Day. He said he has spoken to law enforcement officials who believe that gun shows held on public property are likely
safer than those held in private venues, in part because of a strong presence by uniformed and undercover officers to ensure compliance with local, state and federal gun laws. The fairgrounds has a contract with Crossroads of the West, a family owned company which has held gun shows on the property for 22 years. The current contract runs for three more years, officials said. Those in favor of prohibiting gun shows at the fairgrounds said they find the events – and their advertising, such as billboards – offensive, and also questioned whether a familyoriented venue such as the fairgrounds is an appropriate place to hold them. “I see gun violence as a society-wide problem and glorification of guns is one important aspect of that problem,” said Del Mar resident Bud Emerson. Banning the gun shows at the fairgrounds, said Emerson, would be “a small but important step at the local level to address the problem of gun violence.” But supporters of the gun shows spoke with equal passion. “I’m here to defend my God-given rights as guaran-
teed by the U.S. Constitution,” said Thomas Stephan of Ramona. The Del Mar gun show is the best in the region, he said. “It’s where law-abiding citizens go to shop for the tools they need to defend themselves from the bad guys.” The speakers included state Sen. Joel Anderson, REast County, who urged the board to continue to allow gun shows to be held at the fairgrounds. Bob Templeton, owner of Crossroads of the West, said additional gun restrictions aren’t needed in California, because the state already bans the sale of assault rifles and large capacity magazines such as the ones used by the Connecticut shooter. In addition, the state requires a 10-day waiting period and a background check for any gun purchase, whether at a gun show or a store. Private individuals must sell firearms through a licensed dealer. Templeton said the rules are strictly enforced by law enforcement officials who attend the gun shows. “There are no illegal activities that take place at any gun show,” he said. Holliday said she was not discouraged by the 22nd DAA board’s response to her

petition, which was signed by 750 people within the first 36 hours of its posting online. She said proponents of the gun show ban will continue to speak out and write to their elected representatives. “I’m very encouraged. It’s really snowballed,” she said. “The response in such a short time was more than any of us could have imagined.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review
while still maintaining the character of Rancho Santa Fe. In a recent letter to the RSF Review, resident Wei Zhang said it’s important to maintain the rural character but as more young families move into the Ranch, safety should be the most important issue. “Unless we can be assured that roundabouts can be much safer than the traffic lights for the residents who have to navigate in and out of the houses along Paseo Delicias perhaps we should consider saving the money and simply install traffic lights instead,” Zhang wrote. The report says roundabouts would reduce queue lengths and local street traffic because of the additional capacity on the Paseo Delicias corridor. Travel time delays within the corridor would decrease and traffic flow and average speed would improve. The design of the roundabouts seeks to fit in with the current character of the intersections by limiting “urban-type improvements,” maintaining the width and number of lanes, and using “unobtrusive” lighting features and landscaping that is consistent with the surrounding area, according to the report.
The biggest changes will be seen at the Via de la Valle roundabout, which involves the closure of the western intersection of La Fremontia to convert it to a cul-de-sac. A landscaped berm would be constructed between the La Fremontia cul-de-sac and the roundabout. The southwest and southeast corners at the intersection of Paseo Delicias would be widened to accommodate the roundabout and for the realigned equestrian trail that would follow along the southeast side of the intersection. Also, the intersection of Las Colinas with Via de la Valle would be realigned to the south to intersect Via de la Valle at a right angle. A left-turn pocket into Las Colinas would also be constructed. Two private driveways on Las Colinas would be lengthened to connect with the realigned roadway. West of the roundabout, the eastern access to a circular driveway at a private residence on the south side of Paseo Delicias would be closed. Access to the residence would be maintained via the western leg of the driveway. Jean Hart Stewart, who has lived in her La Fremontia home for 27 years, spent a day reviewing the
DEIR last week. “There’s a lot of things I don’t like about it,” said Hart Stewart of the Via de la Valle roundabout. “My main problem is I don’t see how I’m ever going to get into and out of my driveway because it’s so close to the roundabout.” She said when she’s coming in from town, she’s usually able to get into her street from someone being “nice” and letting her in. But getting out is usually difficult and she doesn’t see how the roundabout will make it any better. “I’m also worried about the church parking lot, they’re going to lose so much parking,” Hart Stewart said. Losing the lot will force people to park on the adjacent streets, which she said she doesn’t mind but she is concerned about older congregation members who may not be able to walk that far. “The church is going to take a real slam I think,” Hart Stewart said. “They’re not taking any of my property but they’re just going to make me stay home.” The approximate rightof-ways needed for the project are .34 acres at Via de la Valle/La Fremontia; 0.17 acre at El Montevideo/ La Valle Plateada; and .04 acre at El Camino del Norte for a total of 0.55 acre. Like the Via de la Valle roundabout, El Camino del Norte will also be a threeway intersection. The roadway would need to be widened on the northwest and northeast corners and roadgrade retaining walls would be constructed on the south side of Paseo Delicias and the east side of El Camino del Norte. North of the El Camino del Norte intersection on the west side of the road there are two residential driveways that would
years to five in both categories. The new junior executive member category would be for Association members under age 48. The enrollment fee will be divided equally over the years, remaining until they reach age 48, paid on July 1 each year. As an example, if a member is 35 at the time of application, they will pay one-tenth of the enrollment fee. If a prospective member is 45 at the time of application, they will pay onethird of the enrollment fee. The Golf Club board will be able to set a maximum number of members in the group. “This is a market we’d
like to go after,” Castro said of younger families moving into the Ranch who are just starting to play golf but might not be willing to pay $50,000 up front. “This would enable them to join the club sooner rather than later.” The RSF Association board members complimented the Golf Club for coming up with creative solutions to its challenges, although Director Eamon Callahan did share some concerns. “It seems kind of discriminatory,” said Callahan of the 48-year-old limit, noting that there are many retirees ages 55 to 60 who might now have more time
for golf but also don’t want to put up $50,000 right away. “Why not leave it open for all new members to have an installment plan?” Steve Dunn, Golf Club membership committee chair, said they have to draw the line somewhere. “If time payment is granted to everyone in the club, it will generate a problem cash flow wise,” Dunn said. “This junior executive program is such a departure from what we’ve ever offered before, it’s an age group we’re not capturing.” Dunn said the membership group is a response to the significant golf club
ROUNDABOUTS continued from page 1 trees; construction can be time limited to lessen the impact on nesting birds; and impacts to .02 acres of coastal sage scrub will be mitigated by a restorative planting after construction. The only significant and unmitigatable impacts of the roundabouts include the full and partial closures that would need to occur during construction, according to the report. The DEIR states that traffic control plans need to be developed, access to all local residents and commercial sites must be maintained, and property owners and residents must be given ample warning about when the construction will begin. During the morning peak hour, one lane must remain open in each direction and during the remainder of the day only one lane will be open with flaggers allowing one direction of traffic to move through. Roundabout construction is expected to last approximately 12 to 18 months. According to the DEIR, all three intersections would see improvement in traffic operations at peak hours. Currently, the configurations result in long queues that spill onto other local streets. During the late afternoon commute, people find it very difficult to squeeze into the flow of traffic. Russell Stovitz, a new resident in Rancho Santa Fe, said not only does the current configuration not work during rush hour, it’s even more dangerous at night. Stovitz said the roundabouts seem like a good compromise to control traffic and promote safety
GOLF continued from page 1 does not qualify them for membership. The former resident member category passed in 2011, before a mixed crowd of 100 people at the RSF Community Center. It allowed residents who had been members for 10 years but had moved out of the Covenant to remain members — however, they are charged at least 10 percent more than regular members in dues. The club would like to reduce the criteria of living in the Covenant from 10

be affected by the roundabout. These driveways would be combined with a frontage road that would connect with El Camino del Norte farther north. The El Montevideo/La Valle Plateada roundabout would be the only four-way roundabout. To avoid sensitive cultural resources, the intersection would be widened and shifted slightly in a northeasterly direction. This intersection would undergo a minor elevation increase to meet safety requirements for roundabout design. No widening would be required at the southwest side of the intersection. At the Via de la Valle and El Montevideo intersections, existing bus stops would be relocated to match the alignment of the roundabout. The relocated bus stops would include shelters and bus pullouts. Approximately 500feet from the intersections, yield-ahead signs would be placed to alert drivers and diagrammatic “circular intersection” symbol-signs would be located approximately 300-feet from the intersections. Combination pedestrian/equestrian crossings would be marked in the pavement and pedestrian and equestrian height push-button controls would activate in-pavement lighting and aboveground flashing beacon at
the crosswalks. The inpavement lighting is shielded so it only shines out to vehicles. The equestrian height push-button control would also activate advance flashing warning signs located between 400 and 500 feet from the crossings at each leg of the intersection. Lighting fixtures would be installed to illuminate the roundabouts only for safety. The Association worked with the county on the lighting fixtures so that they be discreet and in character with Rancho Santa Fe’s rural history. The fixtures won’t exceed 15 feet in height and will be dark earth-toned or black. New landscaping would be installed at each of the roundabouts, designed in coordination with the Association.

competition in the area that offer similar programs. He said it’s a way to target younger people moving into the area—they can be drawn in by the great school system as well as the golf club opportunity. They are really looking to boost new memberships—the club used to see 30 percent of new home buyers signing up and now that number is down to 17 percent. Dunn said they are now being proactive about going after new homeowners in the area and he says he has three people who would be ready to sign up should the new category be approved. “We’ve worked our
butts off this year to get new members and generate new activity,” Dunn said. Castro said the changes would be a way to “stop the bleeding” as they are losing members faster than they are gaining them; Dunn said membership is already down 21 people this year “That problem isn’t going to go away soon and we’re running as hard as we can to keep up,” Dunn said. The board heard the proposed changes only as informational items at the Jan. 3 meeting.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Two couples from former Valitar cast stay in San Diego to launch Equidae • Hands-on equestrian and thrill riding event to take place Jan. 12 and 13 BY CLAIRE HARLIN Trapese artist Kimberly Souren and her husband Nicolas, a juggler, were on tour performing in Europe when they agreed to move to San Diego to perform in Valitar at the Del Mar Fairgrounds — a contract they said, monetarily speaking, they couldn’t pass up. Within only days of the equine-human acrobatic show’s November opening, however, they found the opportunity was too good to be true, with the show’s producers abandoning the cast and crew with no pay, and horses with no food. But the unfortunate string of events was somewhat of a new beginning — or blessing in disguise, perhaps — for the Sourens, who have always wanted to put on their own show but have opted for the safety net of signing contracts with big traveling acts. Left unemployed after Valitar, they had to come up with a plan. “When we signed the contract with Valitar, we had to say ‘no’ to all the other opportunities, so when they closed the show we were forced to wait until 2014 to sign more contracts,â€? Kimberly said. The Sourens, with several other former Valitar performers, put on the show “Liberteâ€? in December to help recoup wages, but many left San Diego after that one-time event. The Sourens, however, see opportunity in San Diego, and stayed along with Nicolas’ cousin, Christine Zerbini Kumisbayev, and her husband, Sultanbek Kumisbayev, to join forces on their new interactive production “Equidae.â€? The debut of the performance — set for Jan. 12 and 13 at Bonsall’s Horse Spirit Ranch — will include a trapeze act, Roman riding, juggling, hula hooping and cross-act extreme thrill riding — which was a big highlight of the Valitar show.
The two couples will then offer a howto clinic on trick riding, and a VIP lunch will be served. A portion of proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Horse Spirit Ranch, which rescues horses and housed the six Valitar horses for free after the show closed. Those six horses will be the stars of Equidae. While the performance was inspired out of necessity, Kimberly said she’s happy to work with her fellow family members. Having been hired to manage the wardrobe at Valitar — her first-ever non performance role — she’s also happy to get back to her art of trapeze. Kimberly said that even though the last few months have been tumultuous, they’ve brought opportunity and also renewed her faith in humanity. “I forgot how kind people can be,� she said, referring to the many people who offered free services and products or opened their homes to the cast left behind by Valitar. Not only did Rancho Santa Fe resident Linda Davis track down and purchase one of the abandoned horses, but hotels such as the Hilton Del Mar offered free stays. She also said a number of locals invited her family to their Christmas dinners and bought presents for their kids. The Sourens have a 2-year-old son, Lucas, and the Kumisbayevs have three kids, ages 2 to 12. They all reside in Escondido. “We live in a dog-eat-dog world,� said Kimberly. “It was so touching how people stepped up and treated us like family.� For more information on Equidae or to register by Jan. 10, visit www.EquidaeShow. com or call (760) 822-3579. The Horse Spirit Ranch is located at 3712 Villa Del Sol in Bonsall.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Experience shows roundabouts work As an on and off resident of Rancho Santa Fe, my recent holiday visit alerted me to the discussions of “roundabouts” in Rancho Santa Fe. My initial experience of their traffic control in England was dangerous, big time. Our only salvation, after an arrival flight from the U.S., was that drivers near the UK international airport were alert to first-time UK drivers! We managed, safely, with them! Recently, I read Rancho Santa Fe was considering the same. But, wait, our farm property in Washington County, Wisc., now boasts roundabouts, several, on Highway 60 east — and they work! Enter, look to the left, if nothing approaching, circle, and exit. Forget former UK experiences. They work efficiently. Wish that had seemed easy years ago. Pat Cologne
Polo fields lease: Where is the City of San Diego?
La Jolla Cultural Partners
Anyone who drove along Via De La Valle from I-5 to Morgan Run in early January 2013 was confronted by warning signs that warned of congestion along that road during the weekend of Jan. 5-6. This warning was well founded since the traffic and haphazard parking created a scene beyond imagination — so much for the lease between the City of San Diego and the Polo Club that prohibits events that attract large numbers of automobiles. A lease, by the way, that expired in March 2012 and the city has promised will not be renewed without competitive bidding and complete transparency. During the weekend noted above, cars were parked everywhere — on Via De La Valle, on the polo fields and every space within a mile of the polo fields that accommodate a car. Our neighborhood was overwhelmed by the traffic and parking and our privacy was disdained by the attendees to the event. This must not be allowed to take place in the future. The City of San Diego must stand up for the rights of the taxpaying citizens. Obviously the thousands of people that invaded our neighborhood and disturbed our peace are by and large from somewhere else. They should practice their mayhem in their own neighborhoods. So we say to the City of San Diego, where are you? What’s happening with the lease? Where is your transparency? Where is your public bidding? And when will you start to stand up for those of us who live around the polo fields and pay our taxes to the city. We have received no answers to our phone calls and e-mails and it’s time for our elected representatives to represent us. Mr. and Mrs Rudy L. Biller

Eggs Benedict tops the menu at The Broken Yolk Cafe BY KELLEY CARLSON rom scrambled eggs to grilled chicken, The Broken Yolk Cafe offers something for everyone on its ovalshaped menu. The family-friendly restaurant — which has nine locations throughout San Diego County and in Temecula — advertises that its food is fresh and the portions are ample, as scales are not used for weighing. Customers won’t find dehydrated potatoes here; the hash browns and home fries are prepared from genuine spuds on site. They will also discover the salsa is house-made, and fruit and vegetables are sliced and diced in the kitchen rather than prepackaged. “People like that (freshness); they see the difference,” said John Gelastopoulos, who co-owns the chain with his wife, Chris. Starting at the crack of dawn until its mid-afternoon closure, The Broken Yolk serves breakfast, so that even night owls can enjoy the most important meal of the day. The top seller is Eggs Benedict, featuring two toasted English muffins topped with Canadian bacon, two poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce. Fans of omelets will find seemingly endless combinations (28 to be exact), each containing four extra-large eggs. The Mom Vegetarian Omelet is one of Broken Yolk’s signatures; it is stuffed with avocado, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, alfalfa sprouts and finished with sour cream and salsa. “Mom always tells you to eat your vegetables,” Gelastopoulos said when explaining the moniker.

■ This week’s recipe: The Broken Yolk Cafe’s The Mom Vegetarian Omelet His own favorite is Tony G’s Special, named for a patron who has consistently customized his omelet in the same manner for 18 years at the Pacific Beach location. The plate-sized, open-faced egg creation contains sautéed mushrooms, black olives, water chestnuts, green onions, tomatoes and bell peppers. The Fresh Fruit Boat, French toast, waffles, pancakes and South of the Border-themed selections are among other breakfast options. But those who have a large stomach — and the huevos — are invited to try the Broken Yolk Iron Man and Iron Woman Special, highlighted in “Man v. Food” with Adam Richman on the Travel Channel.

To complete the challenge, one person must finish it within an hour; winners have the $25.99 cost waived, receive a T-shirt, and have their names added to the Hall of Fame Plaque. Not only is breakfast an all-day event at The Broken Yolk, lunch is too. Customers have choices of sandwiches, street tacos, wraps, paninis, soups and salads, along with half-pound Angus burgers, many of which are named for local cities. For example, the Solana Beach Burger is defined by bacon strips, melted Jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on a buttered-and-grilled, sesame-seed bun, while the Del Mar Burger is piled with sauteed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Ironically, the most popular patty is “nothing fancy,” according to Gelastopoulos: The Old
Reliable Burger is layered with American cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Although the daily dishes are a draw, The Broken Yolk’s special events attract so many guests, lines form outside the door. One instance is the chain’s anniversary celebration, held every March, when about a dozen items are priced at $2.99. Another is National Maple Syrup Day on Dec. 17, when the establishment gives customers free short stacks. But no matter which location people visit, they will find consistency. The menus are identical, and appearances are similar. Contrary to what the name suggests, which is country decor, The Broken Yolk is a modern breakfast house. The walls have warm tones — soft yellow and brick red — and wood floors, and the majority of seats are cushioned booths. Upbeat music plays as televisions silently show sports.

Rita (Meghan Andrews) gets inspiration from her tutor Frank (Bjørn Johnson) in ‘Educating Rita’ at the North Coast Repertory Theatre. PHOTO/KEN JACQUES
May/December romance plays out in ‘Educating Rita’ BY DIANA SAENGER The story of a university lecturer who takes on a young woman to tutor becomes a journey of revelation for both of them in “Educating Rita,” which opens the North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 2013 season. Rosina Reynolds directs the play by Willy Russell, on stage through Feb. 3. Although the original script was revised by Russell in 2007 to make it more contemporary, Reynolds said she prefers the original script set in the 1980s. “For a woman of Rita’s class to cut loose from her surroundings was far more significant in the 1980s than it would be now. It was quite something at that time for the community she lived in and for girls her age.” Meghan Andrews portrays Rita and Bjørn Johnson plays her tutor. “Frank is a college professor in the south of England,” Reynolds said. “He loved literature and had great aspirations to be a teacher at one time, but he’s disillusioned with the system and his life, and the drink has become more familiar to him now. He drinks to forget the things he hasn’t managed to do.” Then Rita enters Frank’s life and inspires him. “She’s not a regular student, she’s a local who is plain speaking … a working-class girl,” Reynolds said. “She left school early and became a hairdresser. Her education was squandered by peer pressure to work, but she has a really curious mind and wants to learn. The dynamic of her coming into Frank’s life shakes him up considerably.” As revealed on stage and in the 1983 film starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters, there are some dark moments in this story. “These two people have a dynamic influence on each other, but it’s definitely a MayDecember relationship, even though they have an energy and passion between them,” Reynolds said. “Like all relationships, the

By the second act, Rita grows beyond Frank and does not need him as much.” Educating Rita has often been compared to “Pygmalion.” “It is similar,” Reynolds said. “Frank and Rita go through a huge arc in their relationship. It’s a very well written play that’s witty and charming with interesting characters who find unlimited potential in each other. That’s what that makes an audience root for them to succeed.”

Eliza’s makeover in ‘Pygmalion’ mirrors Reality TV
The Old Globe’s 100th anniversary production of George Bernard Shaw’s ‘Pygmalion,’ runs through Feb. 17.

Discuss the play with members of the cast and crew after curtain calls.
BY DIANA SAENGER The Old Globe Theatre starts the year — and its 100th anniversary production — with George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion.” Shaw penned his romantic comedy in 1912 and named it after the mythological Pygmalion, a sculptor in Cyprus who fell in love with a statue he had carved. The play is a sharp parody of the rigid British class system of the day. In 1938, Shaw adapted “Pygmalion” for the big screen with Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller. It is best known, however, as the 1956 Broadway musical “My Fair Lady,” starring Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews — who was replaced by Audrey Hepburn for the 1956 film version. Nicholas Martin directs The Globe production, which stars Tony Award-winner Robert Sean Leonard as Professor Henry Higgins, Charlotte Parry as Eliza Doolittle, Kandis Chappell as Mrs. Higgins, Don Sparks as Mr. Doolittle, Deborah Taylor as Mrs. Pearce, and Paxton Whitehead as Colonel Pickering. The story is about a young woman who sells flowers on the streets of London and who ends up being the prop of a bet between Professor Higgins — who believes teaching her how to speak properly will change her life — and a gentleman, Colonel Pickering. Assessing “Pygmalion” as “a brilliant play with great characters,” Par-
ry said she has always wanted to play the role of Eliza Doolittle. “Eliza is a sensitive, kind of put upon flower girl … but confident in her own way,” Parry said. “She makes quite the journey in this story, ending up at Higgins’ house with a dream of being a lady in a flower shop. She wants to get away from the life she’s trapped in.” At the time the play was first written, it was viewed as an observation on female independence. “At Higgins’s home where she’s being tutored, she grows into a sophisticated and confident young lady who realizes she has choices and even learns to stand up to Professor Higgins, who constantly puts her down,” Parry said. “At one point, she tells Higgins that the difference between a flower girl and a lady isn’t the way she behaves, but the way she’s treated. “It’s a true rags-to-riches story, but always reminds me of the movie ‘Trading Places’ (1983 starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd) where if a poor person switches lives with a rich one, they are still the same people inside and a reflection on prejudice,” Parry said. “Today, we love watching reality TV shows and makeovers where people’s lives are transformed; it’s human nature. That’s the basis of ‘Pygmalion,’ but it’s also a really funny classic that will entertain the audience.”

Accomplished interior architect/designer to open home décor store BY KATHY DAY Molly Proul knows what it’s like to change jobs. Each time that she’s made a change, she’s taken what she learned and applied the lessons to the next position. Now the interior architect/designer, wife, mother and Del Mar Heights Elementary School PTA President is about to put another notch in her belt. Having opened MMP Design Solutions and getting it on the road to success, she’s now preparing to open a home décor store at 1228 Camino del Mar in Del Mar. Set for a spring opening, MMP Home will feature accessories of all types, as well as its own furniture line that will be made in San Diego. While owning a full-service design firm specializing in interior and exterior design was her ultimate career goal, it took a few steps along the way to get there. “As a woman, there really is a glass ceiling,” Proul said. “You can’t just go to work. You have to be a good wife, a good mother, part of the school and keep your health.” She’s done all of the above, including faced down post-partum depression and her husband’s

Proul, Associate AIA, Allied member ASID, IIDA Where: 11230 Sorrento Valley Road #140 Phone: (858) 761-8951 Web: www.mmpdesignsolutions.com brain surgery this past August. “Life hits you,” she said. “It’s how you deal with life and it’s challenges. Don’t give up. Surround yourself with intelligent people with integrity.” A native of Newport Beach, she grew up on the water, sailing and teaching the sport she and her husband Eric still enjoy. The couple knew each other “as little kids … we didn’t like each other,” she said. But when she went to work for him at Balboa Yacht Club, they fell in love, spending their first date on a boat in the summer’s weekly Beer Can race series. It ended with a kiss; on New Year’s Eve they celebrated their 19th anniversary. They attended the University of Southern California, where she studied pho-
tography and film. She dropped out after they married, and he graduated in electrical engineering. “My dad was a lawyer and I thought he should be a lawyer, so I signed him up for the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test),” Proul said with a chuckle. He was accepted to the University of San Diego School of Law. Meanwhile, she tried to figure out what she wanted to do, eventually settling in as a teacher’s aide at La Jolla Elementary School. But to get that job she had to be a student, so she enrolled in meteorology and interior design/architecture classes at Mesa College. “I got a ‘D’ in meteorology and an ‘A-plus’ in the design class,” she said, adding that her teacher encouraged her to get an internship. With Ross Theile’s studio near the elementary school, she mustered up her courage and asked for a spot. “Elizabeth Theile hired me and taught me,” she said. “Mr. Theile told me, ‘Don’t call a couch a couch. It’s a sofa. And things are not cheap – they are inexpensive. … They are beautiful, classy people with amazing taste.”
Molly Proul, owner of MMP Design Solutions, will open MMP Home this spring. That experience set Proul on course to the Design Institute of San Diego, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts. Her first job as a designer was at BKM OfficeWorks where she gained experience in space planning and commercial projects. When her husband took a job with a Laguna Beach law firm, they moved back to Newport Beach and she went to work for one of the largest residential, model home design firms in Southern California, doing everything from selecting paint colors and furnishings
to overseeing installation of entire model homes. And then came a call from a Taco Bell executive that would take her into a new world. “I was so shocked,” she said. “Why would they want me, but I knew it was an opportunity to work in corporate America so I took it.” The job entailed figuring out how the fast foot establishment’s kitchens function, improving efficiency and even designing equipment. “I even worked in the restaurants to learn how the food is built and what uten-
sils they used.” But then another move to San Francisco brought another shift of gears – this time to Gap, Inc., and the world of retail. She worked with its international team, creating stores around the world. When the downturn of the ‘90s came and layoffs began, they moved her first to the domestic unit and then when they laid off the entire architectural/design staff, somehow she survived, she said. They moved her to the marketing department where she learned about copywriting and graphic design. “It was a fascinating experience … I knew at the end of the day I wanted to own my own business and that I needed to get back to design.” She eventually left Gap to have her baby – who’s now 8. Before long, she got back to business, working from her home. Among the jobs she logged were interiors for a 365-room hotel, as well as tasting rooms and other spaces for several winery owners. And then came another one of those calls out of the See HOME, Page B16

Whistleblower to tell corporate tale at local luncheon Fulbright scholarships available for local The movie “The Informant,� starring Matt Damon, is based on the real-life story of Mark Whitacre, the 1990s whistleblower in the infamous Archer Daniels Midland pricefixing conspiracy. Whitacre, the FBI’s key informant in the case, has bipolar disorder and will discuss his life journey as a guest of the International Bipolar Foundation at a luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 24, at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel. Whitacre, an Ivy League, Ph.D. and the highest-ranked executive of any Fortunate 500 company to become a whistleblower in U.S. history, currently holds the position of Chief Operating Officer and President of Operations at Cypress Systems, Inc. Drawing from his unique history, he will provide a one-of-a-kind insight into corporate ethics, corporate greed and the warning signs of a flawed corporate leadership. After simultaneously completing B.S. and M.S. degrees at Ohio State University, Whitacre earned his Ph. D. at Cornell University in nutritional biochemistry. He worked for multiple Fortune 500 companies, including Ralston Purina, Degussa (Evonik), and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). He was hired at ADM when he was 32, and as the president of the BioProducts Division from its launch, was the youngest divisional president in the history of the company. In just six years, its fermentation complex became one of the largest in the world. At age 35, he became a corporate vice president of ADM and was the leading candidate to become the next company president. His more than two decades of top management experience, as well as his experience with the ADM price-fixing scandal and the FBI, give him a unique, seasoned perspective on leadership in the corporate world. RSVP for lunch tickets, $65, by Jan. 15 to Ashley Jacobs (858) 764-2496 or areitzin@ internationalbipolarfoundation.org Checks can be made payable to International Bipolar Foundation and mailed to 8895 Towne Centre Drive, Suite 105-360 San Diego, CA 92122.

Love it or loathe it: The polarization of cilantro The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Cilantro (aka Chinese parsley or coriander) is probably the most-loved, while at the same time most-hated, herb on the planet. The cornerstone of Middle Eastern, Latin American and Southeast Asian cuisines, cilantro has caused culinary divisiveness among families and nations. Here’s the nitty-gritty and a little PR boost on this much-maligned Biblical botanical. Roots and Relatives The glossy, bright green scalloped leaves are called cilantro or Chinese parsley, and the seeds are referred to as coriander. Ancients from India, Egypt, Rome and
China have revered cilantro for thousands of years for its culinary charm and medicinal properties. A close cousin to carrots and parsley, cilantro is a hardy annual that originated in southern Europe, North Africa and western Asia, and happened to be one of the plants thriving in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Confessions of a Cilantrophobe If you are repulsed by the taste, smell or even being in the same room as cilantro, you are in good culinary company. Charter member of the anti-cilantro club was the late great Julia Child, who described the green herb as “having kind of a dead taste.” There is an “I Hate Cilantro” Facebook page and blog with a growing community of cilantro-despising followers. Scientific studies now propose that the cilantro aversion might be caused by a genetic predisposition. According to behavioral neuroscientist Charles J.

Local woman, 93, pens memoir of growing up tough in rural Indiana BY CLAIRE HARLIN Many longtime local residents know Ruth Gunther as the owner of Gunther Realty, which operated for more than 25 years on Plaza Street at the current site of Sushi Solana, right by Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach. A successful real estate agent during a growing time for the city, Gunther bought and sold many a home during the 1970s and 1980s, and she was the creative eye behind the Victorianstyle remodel of her former office, which bears the same facade to this day. At 93, Gunther still practices real estate on occasion and she’s active with the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church and the senior center there. And if you are wondering where all that energy comes from, you may look to her latest project for the answer — a book chronicling her childhood years growing up with no running water or electricity on a farm in Indiana. The memoir, “Papa Said,” hit the market in December and she’s scheduled to do a book signing and discussion at the Presbyterian church on Jan. 16 at noon. The memories in her book date back to when she was between ages 3 and 7 — her youthful, innocent perspectives on growing up without much money, but with lots of love. Gunther was the fourth of 12 brothers and sisters, and she remembers vividly how she felt about losing the fami-
Ruth Gunther with family ly farm, getting along with her ornery brothers and learning from her dad’s heartfelt advice. “When it’s rough times you either decide you are going to do better for yourself and your family or not … I was always a self-starter, and I had a lot of energy,” she said. “I had a determination that life was going to be different than some of the things I saw growing up.” Gunther writes about how her mom made clothes for the kids out of feed sacks and how her family took in bums off the street and gave them work and fed them. “The way I wrote the book, I just imagining I was on the porch
of the house and I remembered every detail of the farm,” she said. “I could see my dog and all the things that happened … I remember when my dad’s leg got caught in the belt of an old motorized washing machine. I remember it because it was traumatic for me … I can still see him lying there.” Gunther began crafting the book in the late 1970s after she took her kids and their families to visit her old house, located on a gravel road more than a mile outside of Pittsburg, Indiana. There were people living in the home, however, when they let her enter it, she remembered it as though it was yesterday, and her children and grandchildren were intrigued by her stories of how life was back then. “I was telling them all about it and the kids said, ‘You’ve got to write this down for us,’” Gunther said. For years, she jotted down little stories, and it wasn’t until about a year ago that she strung them together chronologically — at the behest of her daughter-inlaw who encouraged her to enter her writing into a Guideposts “Inspiring Voices” book publishing contest. Through writing the book Gunther hopes to pass on the inspiration she took from her father and has carried with her throughout her life. “In hard times he was patient,” Gunther said of her father.
Ruth Gunther “He couldn’t say ‘no’ to anybody, and he would spend all night outside with a sick cow if he needed to. I have never known anyone who lives as much by their faith as he did.” Gunther’s daughter, Dana, edited the book and said she enjoyed reading it more and more each time she read it. “She has such a great memory,” said Dana, the Torrey Pines High School attendance secretary.
“You hear the voice of a small child, relating to her environment and how she felt about things … It’s both sweet and humorous.” For more information on the book discussion event, call the church, located at 120 Stevens Ave., at (858) 509-2580.

To Your Health: Keep your weight-loss resolutions BY KEN FUJIOKA, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH Year after year, losing weight tops the list of New Year’s resolutions across the country. The vow is made with the best of intentions — gym memberships skyrocket, and houses are purged of sweets, soda and junk food. Unfortunately, for many these valiant efforts prove too difficult to maintain. Nearly 80 percent of dieters fail to drop pounds, and a third gain additional weight. Losing weight can be challenging regardless of the time of year, but with the right tools and strategies, it can be done. Here are a few tips to get you started on the right track. Steer clear of fad diets and complicated weight loss schemes. According to a 2009 study published in the journal Appetite, many diet plans are so complex that people simply give up. The study reported that participants were more likely to abandon their diets if they could not remember all the rules or keep track of the plan. Look for a program that you can understand and sustain. If you don’t have time to make fresh fruit or vegetable juices every day, a diet that includes them is likely not going to work for you. Also, don’t believe the hype of “instant” weight loss products. You may see amazing results at first, but be sure to research how well people maintain the loss in the long run. No matter what, calories count. The specific number of calories you need every day to lose weight depends on your individual body type, metabolism, exercise level and daily activities. In general, though, women 45-55 years old need about
1,200-1,300 calories, while men of the same age range may need more and are often closer to 1,800. Keep a journal of everything you eat or drink during the day, including that cappuccino or handful of peanuts, and use it to calculate your daily calorie intake. There are a number of websites and apps that provide calorie counts for nearly all kinds of foods and drinks; just enter the item, and the site does the rest. Some even keep a running total for you. A great resource for how many calories you need and how to eat the right amount are Registered Dietitians. These professionals are highly trained and usually have much more schooling than a typical “nutritionist”. Exercise matters, too. To lose weight, you have burn more calories than you take in — and that can be difficult to do without exercise. Of course, the more active you are, the more calories you burn. Effective weight loss usually requires at least three to five hours of exercise a week, and the type of exercise can make a significant difference. While cardiovascular exercise such as walking, jogging or riding a bicycle is important, adding some resistance training can help maintain the amount of muscle tissue you have. Because your body uses more calories to support muscle tissue than fat, your body will burn calories more quickly. You don’t have to “bulk up” and get big muscles. Simply toning your muscles through resistance training with light weights or even your own body weight can make a difference. Aim for 45 minutes of cardiovascular exercise and 15 minutes of resistance training most days of the week. Choose activities you enjoy, and you will be more
likely to stick with them. Keep track of your weight. If you don’t have one, invest in a scale and weigh yourself every day. Remember that your weight will fluctuate by 2 to 4 pounds during the day, and that hormonal changes and some medications may affect weight as well. Weighing yourself regularly will help you identify these trends and get a more accurate idea of how well your efforts are working. Most importantly it will help you recognize weight gain. The scale does not lie. Take control of your environment. Remove tempting foods from your house and workplace. If you snack, replace cookies, crackers and junk food with healthier alternatives such as vegetable sticks or non-fat Greek yogurt. Try to identify and avoid situations that will challenge you, such as pizza parties or birthday cakes. Let your family, friends and co-workers know that you are trying to lose weight, and enlist their support. They will be more supportive if you explain that you need them to help you resist temptation and meet your goals. Instead of going out for a big lunch, maybe you can go for a walk instead. If you do find yourself stuck in a situation you cannot control, have just a few bites and stick to your resolve. Ken Fujioka, MD, is director of nutrition and metabolic research with Scripps Health.

Vibrant fields of oil paint, stamps and collaged material reveal themselves beneath the geometric patterns and designs that undulate across the surfaces of his carved lead panels, hinting at the traditional latticed screens found in his native Melilla, Spain. Recent exhibitions include a solo show at Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City, a solo show, Apocrofos, at the Instituto de América (Centro Damián Bayón), Spain, and group exhibitions including Chelsea Visits Havana at the 9th Havana Biennial, Cuba; De Granada a Gasteiz Un Viaje de Ida y Vuelta, the Fundacion Artium, Alava, Spain; and Black Panther Rank and File, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, traveling to Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC.

The “trees of life” will be represented as Sequoia trees since they are specific to the region. The stamps will be drawn from a 120-year history that will embody the cultures converging on the Pacific Coast and will be collected from several cultures and international countries to capture the historical transformation of typologies within the stamps. They will attest to the shifting collective consensus as the stamps represent the socio-political and aesthetic implications of the time.

SD REP takes on race, real estate BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The San Diego REPertory Theater will present “Clybourne Park,” the awardwinning comedy about race and real estate in America, Jan. 12 to Feb. 10 on The Lyceum Stage, 79 Horton Plaza. Written by Bruce Norris and directed by Sam Woodhouse, “Clybourne Park” tells the story of one house over 50 years, and the complicated race issues that surround it. Act One is set in 1959, in the dream home of the Younger family in Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun,” where a white couple ignites controversy when they sell their bungalow to the neighborhood’s first black family. Act Two takes place in the same house, but 50 years later, with the reverse situation. Now, in 2009, a white couple is planning to purchase and demolish the house in the now all-black neighborhood, causing distress and anger among the neighbors. While “Clybourne Park” boasts a talented cast made up of both longtime REP actors and newcomers, Woodhouse said one of the most important characters is the house itself. “This is a piece that directly addresses the things people don’t voice about subjects of race,” said Woodhouse. “You’ll think, ‘Did I actually just hear people say that?’” Despite the heavy nature of the issues, Woodhouse insists the play is very much a

In some situations a general feeling of sluggishness may interfere with achieving their goals. Blackberry flower essence helps awaken the will to direct self-actualization and catalyze breakthrough. Blackberry essence encourages exuberant manifestation in the world and helps with the overcoming procrastination and frustration a common pattern with new beginnings in our calendar year. 1/3oz $7.80 By FES

Your Family Matters: Are your kids overstimulated? BY DR. KEITH KANNER Inattentive, oppositional, rude, too aggressive, anxious and disrespectful behaviors are all symptoms of a child or teen that may be over-stimulated by something in his or her enviDr. Keith Kanner ronment. Such symptoms are often mistaken for some sort of psychological problem when the first thing that should be evaluated is whether or not a child is being exposed to material that may be too much for him or her to handle based on their developmental age. Between television and social media these days, the world of sex, aggression and overly mature contents are at the fingertips of children’s cell phones, computers, cellular phones and Pods. Even prime time television has become more stimulating over the past decade and many parents have no clue as to whether or not their child is watching or viewing these materials or the potential impacts that they have on their child’s psyche. Over-stimulation is when a child takes in or internalizes material that causes too much anxiety for them to handle due to either making them feel afraid or guilty. Unlike most adults who can calm themselves down when faced with explicit stimuli, kids and teens are different. If you have a child or a teen, then you know what I am talking about. They get caught up in the moment and often can’t get out of it. An example would be when you try to reason with your child about something and no matter what, they can’t let it go and a breather is often the only solution. But if you do not get to the bottom of what is causing distress in your child, then it will continue to manifest itself and the child continues to suffer. In the old days, television and the computer were relatively benign. These days, the world of technology has made parenting 10 times harder and makes us baby boomers and others have to reach deep to better help our youth navigate through the world today. In a sense, culture has become more primitive and less civilized whereby basic biological drives are shown in the most raw forms in all aspects of the media. This is not a good thing. In fact, I believe that most children who watch television, or have a computer or a G3 or G4 phone, are subject to some form of over-stimulation at least weekly — and parents often don’t even know it until some sign appears which catches our attention. Here are some statistics that show just how much of a problem we have on our hands. The average age an American child is first exposed to pornography is 11 years old, an article in the current issue of Family Therapy Magazine reports. And, a recent study found that the majority of teenagers look at pornography while doing their homework. It will surprise you to learn that the largest viewers of online pornography are children between the ages of 12 and 17. These statistics come from the nonprofit advocacy organization. Aside from the curiosity that may draw a teen onto a website that might overwhelm them is the fact that most kids often inadvertently stumble upon sexual or aggressive explicit material while doing otherwise innocent internet searches, or by simply open-
ing up an email. In fact, according to one study, 34 percent of adolescents reported being exposed to unwanted sexual material online. Another study conducted five years later showed that figure to have risen to 43 percent. One component of over-stimulation that has received much attention has been that the effects it can cause may lead to actions that might negatively affect the development of a teenager’s personality. For example, young viewers of pornography are statistically more likely to engage in sexual intercourse at an earlier age than their unexposed peers. It may not be too surprising that 80 percent of online pornography viewing by children occurs at home right under mom and dad’s noses. These new studies focus on how overstimulating, or age-inappropriate material, can negatively influence both the behavior and potential character of a developing person. The studies that confirm similar negative consequences concerning the exposure to overly aggressive materials through television, gaming, and social media are now pretty much “old news.” So, in a nutshell, kids these days are being bombarded with “too much, too early” and it is clear that parents cannot rely on outside regulators to parent or protect our children. The truth is that each parent should do just that. Parent your own child and take responsibility for what your child comes into contact with when they are with you. Parents have little control over what kids these days come into contact with at school and at other people’s homes unless you go with them, which would obviously not be welcomed by any child over the age of 9. But, what parents teach at home is the heaviest weight that goes into decision-making for any healthy child. In other words, your kids carry you and your rules, actions, opinions, and caring with them 24 hours a day, even when they are 14 and tell you that they “can’t stand you.” When they come into a situation, which carries conflict, home is a heavy contender for the outcome of their decision. Therefore, what you teach and preach at home goes a long way even if your kids tell you that you are “crazy and no other parent is like you.” Sound familiar? Every parent of any teenager is “crazy” for they are the reality checks for illogical logic a lot of the time in the mind of a young teenager. So, here are some “crazy” things parents need to do to better help their child from becoming overwhelmed with the plethora of stimuli presented to their eyes, ears and fingertips: 1. Keep all modes of social media in public areas of your house. Pick a place in your home where everybody has their computer operating. Kids are less likely to go onto an inappropriate website if their parents are close by. 2. Follow the ratings for computer games, television, movies, and other forms of materials that your kids can get their hands onto. “M” means mature, and “T” means teen. They may find ways to get them at someone else’s house, but your house is home and that matters most. 3. TiVo or record your shows and watch them after the kids go to sleep. Often times we, as adults, get sloppy and sometimes forget that we are watching a show together that is too mature for our kids. 4. Have a cell phone basket in the

HOME continued from page page B7 blue, this time from a headhunter for Jack in the Box. She had just interviewed with Albertsons, but wasn’t inclined to relocate to Idaho for the job. “At the time I was at a point with my business that I either had to close it or move out and hire people,” she said. After two interviews with Jack in the Box – which had been the subject of many conversations when she was at Taco Bell — and lots of reflection, she took the job with Jack in the Box as director of the architecture, engineering and design department. She and their daughter moved back to San Diego for the job, while Eric commuted until he landed a job here; he’s now in-house counsel for Websense. For those who remember the rollout of the redesigned Jack logo and the stores’ new look, Proul played an integral part not just in overseeing the changeover but in its actual creation. But in 2009, she left the company and took time to regroup, she said. “Our daughter was in kindergarten and it was time to get in touch with my priorities.” Then in 2010, a Realtor friend needed help with staging a home. “I took that first check for $125 and opened a business account and decided I’m getting back in business.” When she created MMP Design Solutions, she said she knew she eventually wanted to be part of Jack in the Box again and to work on restaurants and hotels. But she kicked off the business in the residential arena, developing a sort of niche helping clients who were divorced and mov-

Ina, a leading lecturer and Senior Vice President for UBS Financial Services Inc., for an informative discussion on the “7 Ways Women Sabotage Their Financial Future.” Ina has been helping women navigate the unique financial challenges they face for 25 years. The event will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 15, from noon-1:30 p.m. at the Arterra Restaurant in Carmel Valley (11966 El Camino Real, San Diego, 92130). A complimentary meal will be served. Special guest speaker Michelle Bergquist, leading national author and speaker, will present how business women can work smarter, not harder, and share strategies to improve your career. She will also review the “Five Key Elements to Being Referable and Building Your Network.” Each attendee will receive a free copy of Bergquist’s’s book “How to Build a Million Dollar Database.” RSVP to Gabriella Sheffield, CFP®, Registered Client Service Associate, 858-947-7989 or gabriella.sheffield@ubs. com.

Then, through LinkedIn, she reconnected with Jack in the Box, first working on a project for a franchisee. But the franchise fell through and the store went back to corporate control. Soon after she was invited by corporate officials to attend a meeting with franchisees and was welcomed back into the fold. Today her business reflects her attitude that if you “do something you enjoy and something that my daughter and husband can be proud of” you will succeed. MMP Design Solutions, a licensed architecture, engineering, interior design, project management and construction firm, is growing, with clients ranging from supermarkets to strip malls and a new hotel. She is seeking clients through the north and southwest, including Alaska,
Hawaii and Texas, she said. Proul is hiring people who bring special skills to the mix. Her employees include two wounded warriors, moms she knows from PTA who want to work but also want a flexible schedule that enables them to pick up and drop off their children at school, and an architect. “I like that I’ve helped people who were unemployed,” she said, adding that she will hire more as the business grows and as she opens MMP Home. Noting that there are no home décor stores in the Del Mar Village, she said she sees a need for “retail that is tangible, not high end. We want to be accessible and inspiring.” The store will also offer design services, she added. “I love the fact that we can find you a light fixture or we can find you a lot to build on,” Proul said.

ents The Claire Lynch Band in a special “bluegrass & beyond” performance at the Del Mar Powerhouse on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 7 p.m. (doors at 6:30 p.m.). By any measure, the Claire Lynch Band is high on the bluegrass world’s A-List. Claire Lynch has twice won the Female Vocalist of the Year trophy from the International Bluegrass Music Association, and has two Grammy nominations for Best Bluegrass Album. In 2012, Lynch was named a United States Artists fellow, a $50,000 grant given each year to 50 of America’s finest artists across eight disciplines, including music. The Claire Lynch Band Lynch was a rare woman in bluegrass when she led the Front Porch String Band in the 1970s. Today, the Claire Lynch Band is acclaimed for its distinctive, seasoned sound that is simultaneously unpretentious and richly textured. It’s a down-home, front porch sensibility — until you realize that it’s a rare front porch, indeed, that has ever hosted musicians of this caliber. Matt Wingate, a remarkably soulful “young gun,” won the MerleFest Doc Watson Guitar Championship at the age of 15. Bryan McDowell, currently just 21 years old, amassed 21 first place wins in competitions in 2009-10. Most remarkably, at the storied Winfield national competition, he won a trio of first place awards in 2009 (flat pick guitar, mandolin, and fiddle) — a feat unparalleled in Winfield’s 40-year history. Bassist Mark Schatz brings a masterful instinct for groove that garnered him two IBMA Bass Player of the Year awards; before joining the Claire Lynch Band, he played bass for Nickel Creek (Chris Thile, Sara Watkins, Sean Watkins), the highly acclaimed band that got its start in San Diego County. Dolly Parton credits Lynch with “one of the sweetest, purest and best lead voices in the music business today.” Equally gifted as a songwriter, Lynch’s songs have been recorded by The Seldom Scene, Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea, Cherryholmes, and others. After a distinguished career as a Rounder Records recording, Lynch has just wrapped up studio work on a new album, set for release in 2013 by Compass Records. The Foundation invites the Del Mar community to help welcome Claire Lynch back to the Powerhouse for a show featuring her soon-to-be-released new work, along with songs from her rich and varied repertoire. Advance tickets are available at www.delmarfoundation.org/clairelynch. Check the website on the day of the event to see if tickets will be available at the door.

The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe welcomes 34 new members in 2012 The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, one of the nation’s most prestigious golf course communities, demonstrated strong growth in 2012 with an average increase of more than two new club members per month. Twenty-eight new golf memberships were sold last year including 22 at an initiation level of $125,000 and six out-of-area members who joined as national members at $35,000 each. Social membership reached capacity last year with the addition of six new members at $25,000 each. The club currently has only 37 golf equity memberships remaining to sell. “The club’s solid year of growth was due in large part to the involvement of our existing members,” said The Bridges General Manager Sean McCune. “It’s a testament to our extraordinary sense of community when our members continue to refer their personal circle of family and friends.” New residents of Rancho Santa Fe were also a source of growth for The Bridges in 2012. “One of the initial attractions for relocating executives and retirees to the Rancho Santa Fe area is the abundance of great golf courses,” added McCune. “As they narrow down their choices, they discover how much The Bridges has distinguished itself amongst other options. “First and foremost, the course is truly one of the most beautiful layouts in the country. We draw some of the best players in the world to work on their games on a course free of distractions. And with our tight limit on golf memberships, walk-on play is never an issue for our members.”
With extraordinary architecture, evocative of a Tuscan hill town, the 36,000-square-foot clubhouse at The Bridges provides a friendly, casual, and elegantly comfortable environment for dining and conversation. “Guests to The Bridges often comment about our focus on the culinary arts and rank our main restaurant as one of the best in Southern California,” added McCune. “Chef Chris Buffin creates seasonal menus showcasing just-picked produce from the club’s organic garden, while sommelier Mark Valin is constantly on hand to help members with wine pairings and recommendations for their personal cellars.” Additional layers of activities at The Bridges include world-class facilities for tennis and recreation, workout classes and personal training, as well as bocce and other court sports. Applications for new memberships – both at the Equity Golf and National level – are now being accepted. For membership information, contact Gordon Cooke at 858756-8055.

San Diego Surf Soccer Club, Surf Cup Soccer Tournaments and Soccerloco announce multi-million dollar partnership Surf Soccer Club, Surf Cup and Soccerloco announced a four-year, multi-million dollar Title Sponsorship Agreement on Jan. 2. The agreement, signed on Friday, Dec. 28, allows Soccerloco exclusive Title Sponsorship rights for the highly rated Surf Cup youth soccer tournaments and the nationally competitive teams of Surf Soccer Club based in San Diego. The Surf Cup tournament is considered one of the top three youth soccer tournaments in America. The annual highly competitive youth soccer tournament is held on the Del Mar Polo Fields in July, attracts teams from across the country and last year celebrated it’s XXXII competition. The prestigious Surf College Cup, held in November, is recognized as one of the top recruiting tournaments in the U.S, attracting top college coaches from throughout the U.S. who travel to San Diego to identify college schol-
arship hopefuls. Both tournaments have huge impact on the area’s tourism and a positive economic impact for the San Diego County. Soccerloco is now the Title Sponsor of both the nationally acclaimed Surf Cup and the Surf College Cup. The two tournaments will be renamed “SoccerLoco San Diego Surf Cup Presented by Nike” and “Soccerloco San Diego Surf College Cup Presented by Nike” respectively. In addition, over 800 Surf Soccer Club players will wear jerseys with the Soccerloco logo and the club will make all equipment purchases through Soccerloco.com. While Surf Soccer Club players come from as far south as the Border and as far north as Oceanside and as far east as Ramona, the majority of these hard-working kids live in the Rancho Sante Fe, Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Solana Beach areas.

As part of the project, an exhibit will be displayed of immigration art at the Fellowship. Whether you believe in immigration reform or not, Mexicans are dying by the thousands trying to cross the U.S. border in the southwest, seeking a better way of life. Enrique Morones is the founder and executive director of the San Diego nonprofit Border Angels. The all-volunteer group places water in the desert in places where immigrants are likely to try to cross. Border Angels provides free legal advice for immigrants facing deportation and runs community awareness and education programs. Morones has met with President Barack Obama, appeared on CNN and debated Maricopa (Az.) County Sheriff Joe Arpaio; he also has led several cross-country marches, including one this past summer, to dramatize the need for comprehensive federal immigration reform. Morones is the author of “The Power of One, The Story of the Border Angels.” Morones will receive The Standing on the Side of Love campaign’s Courageous Love Award from the UUFSD on Jan. 20.

REQUEST, SUBMITTED TO THE BENEFICIARY: SU GAO, 7530 CIRCULO SEQUOIA, CARLSBAD, CA 92009; WITHIN TEN DAYS FROM THE FIRST PUBLICATION OF THIS NOTICE. The undersigned trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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: $858,495.30 In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a State or National Bank, a check drawn by a State or Federal Credit Union or a check drawn by a State or Federal Savings and Loan Association, Savings Association or Savings Bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this State. In the event tender other than cash is accepted the trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed Of Trust. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the successful bidder at the sale shall be entitled to a return of the monies paid. The successful bidder shall have no further recourse against the Trustee or Beneficiary. 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 California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or (714) 786-5351 or visit this Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com or www. noticesolutions.com using the file number assigned to this case 10-07017. Information about postponement 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. We are assisting the Beneficiary in the collection of a debt and any
information we obtain will be used for that purpose whether received orally or in writing.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Underwater homeowners breathe a sigh of relief as Congress extends Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act • Certified Distressed Property Expert Toni Cieri helps homeowners facing foreclosure On Jan. 1, 2013, Congress passed an extension of the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act as part of tax bill H.R. 8, the bill addressing the “fiscal cliff.” Originally passed in 2007, this act exempts struggling homeowners from paying taxes on debt Toni Cieri forgiven in a short sale, foreclosure, or loan modification. The bill extends the act through Dec. 31, 2013, allowing underwater homeowners to once again pursue alternatives to foreclosure, such as short sales or loan modifications, without the fear of owing thousands and taxes. “For distressed homeowners, the extension of the Mortgage Debt Relief Act is amazing news. Before this act, homeowners would negotiate a loan modification or avoid foreclosure through a short sale only to find they owed an equally unmanageable tax debt afterwards,” says Toni Cieri, broker/
owner RE/MAX Distinctive in Del Mar As a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), Cieri is specially trained to help homeowners who find themselves facing foreclosure. “I’m committed to helping homeowners who are struggling,” Cieri said. “Too often, homeowners facing foreclosure believe there is nothing they can do, but there is. “In fact, the options available to homeowners are better than ever. Lenders realize how much foreclosures cost, and increasingly favor short sales and other alternatives over letting a home go to foreclosure. Lenders are more willing than ever to work with homeowners,” said Cieri. Cieri has developed a free report with more information on the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act and the options available to homeowners facing foreclosure. This report, titled, “Attention: Distressed Homeowners! Congress Renews Critical Homeowner Relief Program,” is accessible from her website: hosted.cdpe.com/184841 For more information or assistance in stopping a foreclosure, contact Toni Cieri at 858-229-4911 or email@ tonicieri@aol.com.
