BY JOE TASH The board of directors of the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, which sits on some 400 acres of land owned by the city of San Diego in the San Dieguito River Valley, is negotiating a purchase and sale agreement with the San Francisco-based Bay Club Company, country club officials have confirmed. Before a deal can be finalized, three things must happen, said Steve Wittert, the country club’s general manager: a purchase and sales agreement must be signed by the board and the company, club members must vote to approve the sale, and the city must approve transferring the lease for the property from the country club to the Bay Club

Company. The country club does have a signed “letter of intent” with Bay Club Company regarding the proposed purchase, Wittert said, while another country club official said the club is “very close” to signing a purchase and sale agreement with Bay Club Company. Earlier proposed purchase offers for the country club, including one deal involving U-T San Diego publisher Douglas “Papa Doug” Manchester and golfer Phil Mickelson, fell through, Wittert said. Currently, the private, invitation-only country club, which features golf courses totaling 27 holes, tennis courts and other facilities, is owned by its members. Wittert said

RSF Golf Club requests delay on Association’s approval of resolution BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club Board of Governors was taken by surprise when members received the RSF Association’s agenda list last week and saw an update on the board’s resolution regarding the club, according to RSF Golf Club President Steve Dunn. The Association board said it believed that the revisions to the resolution were minor clarifications but Dunn said that a number of issues in the relationship between the club and the Association need to be discussed. He requested that a meeting be held between the two boards before the Association’s approval of the resolution, which formalizes an agreement that the Association manager is allowed to attend board of governor’s meetings and that the club’s general manager reports to the Association manager. “While the Association believes these are just clarifications and modifications, we feel there are some inconsistencies with our mutual bylaws, especially as it relates to our general manager,” Dunn said.

RSF School District studying how to add Spanish to full K-6 Curriculum BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District Board of Trustees will continue to gather information on adding Spanish back to the K-5 curriculum. Superintendent Lindy Delaney said the question is not about the benefits of foreign language

for children, of which there are many, but finding the room to add it without subtracting from reading, writing, math, social studies, science lab, PE or student electives, just to name a few. “We’re in a tough situation where our days are full,” Delaney said. “The

teachers think (foreign language) is a value, but they don’t feel like there’s anything they want to take out of the schedule to put it in.” The discussion was prompted by parent Linda Leong, who in October 2014 came before the board with a petition signed by 60 peo-

ple to request Spanish be returned to elementary schools. She returned to the Jan. 8 meeting having gathered 117 signatures from elementary school parents. To really make sense, Delaney said,the program would need to be offered four days a week, kindergar-

RSF Association Board Biz: Thanks to Ivan, Daria for stepping up! BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD In the past, I have offered my thanks to the many Covenant members who have volunteered their valuable time to serve on both our standing and ad hoc committees as well as our Association board. Our staff members deserve our thanks, too, and I have often extended my appreciation to them as well. Sometimes, however, when a member of our staff goes “above and beyond the call of duty,” I feel special recognition is in order. Our Acting Manager Ivan Holler is one such staff member. Since last March, when he added the job of Acting Manager to his already busy position of Assistant Manager, he has worked tirelessly to achieve the goals that our Association board has set, as well as to meet the ongoing needs of our members. Ivan has been leading or coordinating efforts for us as we pursue improvements in wireless and broadband;

Ann Boon as we analyze the feasibility of a health club and pool; as we attempt to increase voter registration; as we improve transparency and openness in conducting Association business; as we update our human resources policies; and as we investigate alternative futures for the Osuna Ranch property. As Ivan took on responsibilities for financial, legal and personnel issues, he learned quickly and kept us all out of harm’s way. His understanding of the DavisStirling Act (the California law that covers HOAs) and his experience in working with San Diego County have been invaluable to our board in every instance, on every issue. Moreover, Ivan’s skill in these areas will undoubtedly be an in-

valuable asset to the new manager as they work together going forward. On Jan. 28, when our new manager, Bill Overton, officially assumes his position, Ivan will move back to being “just” our Assistant Manager. Ivan will be able to focus his considerable skills on what we need him to do most right now: be our Project Manager for the wireless, broadband and health club projects. Of course, as if those assignments weren’t enough, Ivan will still be weighing in on the many questions related to land-use issues that come up around here. So if you see him in a committee meeting or around the Association office, I hope you will take the time to let him know how much his efforts over the past year are appreciated. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge one other staff member, Daria Quay. As many of you will recall, about a year ago our board discovered that only about 65 percent of our Covenant members were registered to vote. We decided as a board

HIGHLAND FARMS - ENCINITAS 2 Lg Arenas, 29 Stalls, Grass Pastures $3,500,000

that we wanted to increase that percentage. We sent out numerous pleas to members to encourage them to register: we ran ads in this paper; we discussed in board meetings the importance of registering; we sent letters to unregistered members; and, as we have for years, we continued to provide registration forms to new members along with their other closing documents. We had some success and were able to get registration up to about 72 percent. Nevertheless, our rate of increase seemed to be slowing until Daria came up with some creative solutions and decided to get personally involved in the effort.

important effort. Both the Association board and the staff have a busy month ahead. All the project teams are in high gear. In addition, the Nominating Committee to find candidates interested in running for the Association board this spring will convene in this month. I will be chairing the committee, whose members include Vice President Craig McAllister and former board members Ken Bien, Larry Spitcaufsky and Bill Beckman. Please let us know if you are interested in running. There has never been a more exciting time to be a part of this Association’s Board of Directors! ann.boon@me.com

First, Daria developed the “Welcome Basket,” a delightful collection of Covenant-related gifts for all new members. The key is that, in order to collect the basket, new members must come to the office to collect it in person. While they are in the office, they can also register to vote! Next, Daria began to welcome new members with personal phone calls and notes rather than form letters. For November and December 2014, the first full months for which we have data, Daria’s success rate is running nearly 100 percent. Let’s hope that that rate will continue!

RSF trustees take in robotics demo from Rowe Intergalactic Dragons, Intercontinental Ballistic Ninjas and Portal Pounders conquered the Rancho Santa Fe School Board of Trustees at its Jan. 8 meeting. The school’s creatively- named robotics teams gave a demonstration to the board after their success at the First Tech Challenge Robotics Qualifying Tournament. The Dragons and Pounders have qualified to compete at the FTC Regional Championship on Feb. 21 at Madison High School. RSF School District Board President Todd Frank declared the demonstration, which included the students guiding their robots to gather up balls and dispose them into tubes, “awesome.” He complimented the young teams for leading the way for the school’s growing robotics program and thanked teachers John Galipault, Dave Warner and the multitude of parent volunteers for their passion and involvement, which made the program possible. The board also recognized the school’s

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE San Diegans continued to cut back on water use in November, part of a 10 percent statewide reduction in consumption for the month, the state Water Resources Control Board reported recently. State officials cheered the cutbacks, which came after some backsliding the previous month, and before December’s heavy rains. Customers provided water by the city of San Diego used 65 gallons of water in November on average, compared with 76 in October and 82 in September, according to figures provided by the board. November is a typical time to see less water usage, as the weather cools and rains begin. Also, tighter restrictions on water use approved by the City Council took effect Nov. 1 in San Diego. “In many parts of California, it is clear that residents understand we are in a prolonged drought, and many continue to conserve water, even as we enjoy welcome rain and runoff that is beginning to recharge our reservoirs and groundwater supplies,” said state Water Board Chairwoman Felicia Marcus. “That is good news, because it will take far more rain and snow to get us back to normal.” State water officials said the heavy rains of the past month have delivered only about one-third of the precipitation necessary to end a prolonged drought. Residents of Rancho Santa Fe, the affluent North County community which drew flak last fall for using the most water in the state — 584 gallons a day in September — cut back to 376 gallons per day in November. Reductions in consumption were also seen by customers in the cities of Escondido and Oceanside; and the Fallbrook, Helix, Lakeside, Olivenhain, Otay, Padre Dam, Ramona, Rincon Del Diablo, San Dieguito, Sweetwater, Vallecitos, Valley Center and Vista water districts, according to the state report.

William J. Ruh brings extensive experience to new position as RSF Foundation board chairman BY DIANE Y. WELCH The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation Board of Directors has a newly appointed chairman: William J. Ruh took over the position, formerly held by Neil Hokanson, at the beginning of 2015. “Bill brings to the foundation an impressive depth of business acumen and expertise to the position of chairman of the foundation,” Hokanson said of Ruh. “His energy and incisive thinking will be instrumental in building on the foundation’s record of success and in developing new initiatives as opportunities to excel present themselves in the years ahead.” Ruh said he has no plans to make any changes that may alter the trajectory of the growth that the foundation is experiencing. “Our mission is to continue to provide a personalized service and exceptional investment stewardship for the generous donors of the foundation,” he said. Looking forward to his two-year term, Ruh’s primary focus is to build upon Hokanson’s leadership and dedication and to work with Christy Wilson — foundation executive director — and her team to ensure that there’s a “solid foundation in place for the coming growth of the organization,” he said. The foundation has come a long way since Ruh joined the board in 2008. He formerly served on the Investment Committee and held the position of board treasurer. During this period, he saw managed assets grow to a total now approaching $100 million. Ruh brings a wealth of experience to his role as chairman. For more than 20 years, he has managed a series of private equity firms and was most recently appointed both managing principal and executive vice president of Aequitas Capital. Before Aequitas, Ruh was a managing principal and cofounder of Castle Creek Capital, LLC, an alternative asset management company dedicated to community bank investing, and Castle Creek Financial LLC, a registered broker/ dealer. “Bill was instrumental in the growth of the Rancho San-

William J. Ruh ta Fe Education Foundation (at R. Roger Rowe School) and in other community organizations while he and his wife, Lisa, raised their family in the Ranch,” said Wilson of Ruh’s previous community service. He will team up with 28 foundation board directors, men and women who have been successful in business and have a strong legacy of giving back to their community, Ruh said. A recent board-approved initiative is North County Senior Connections, a program supported by the foundation’s Community Impact Fund.

Collaborating with two local charities, the foundation purchased and refurbished a food truck that delivers food to the elderly in need throughout North San Diego. The pilot program, which started last fall, has been very successful and support for it will continue, said Ruh. Ruh also plans to remain very active with San Diego’s military population through The Patriot Initiative (TPI). Last year, TPI awarded grants totaling $69,000 to eight nonprofit programs serving military members and their families in San Diego County in its first grant cycle of 2014, according to the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation website. The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation was founded in 1981 by a group of community-

minded residents who sought a more efficient and effective channel for philanthropy. Working with local charities, it is able to make high-impact gifts that make a tangible difference locally and regionally while still connecting donors globally. Ruh wants to hear from Rancho Santa Fe residents and nearby neighbors to inform them how the foundation can help make a difference in their charitable interests and causes. “We invite them to partner with us, and we look forward to helping them reach their philanthropic goals,” he said. Visit www.rsffoundation.org for more information about the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation.

Rowe students host Empty Bowls dinner Jan. 27 to alleviate hunger BY KAREN BILLING R. Roger Rowe School will hold its Empty Bowls dinner and fundraiser from 6-7:30 p.m. Jan. 27 in the Performing Arts Center. The event will feature beautiful ceramic bowls crafted by students and a simple soup dinner. A $25 ticket will include one of the student-created bowls and dinner and dessert from local restaurants, with all proceeds going to the San Diego Food Bank. The event is part of the school’s Kind to the Core Week, which celebrates the school’s student community service program. Local businesses participating include Ki’s Restaurant donating the soup, Caffe Positano donating coffee and Pacific Coast Grill donating the bread pudding dessert. Art teacher Marika Fagan is excited to bring the nationwide project of Empty Bowls to the school and the community. She believes they are the first middle school in the county to take on the project. “It shows how art can impact the world in a real, positive way,” Fagan said. “The cool thing to me is that the students know when they’re making these bowls that there’s no ownership. They’re very aware that the bowls are not theirs to take home, they’re really making a project to give back to people who are less fortunate than they are.” Locally, their contribution will help the more than 462,000 people in San Diego who live at the poverty level and go to bed hungry every night. Four middle school art classes took part in the project, completing about 100 bowls. Last week, classes were working on glazing the bowls and making tissue-paper flowers for centerpieces for the dinner. Rowe students took part in Empty Bowls last year, but the May 13 dinner was the same day the Bernardo Fire threatened Rancho Santa Fe, forcing cancellation. Fortunately, enough families had bought tickets and were able to pick up their bowls that the event still raised $2,750. Fagan hopes this year will be a similar success. For tickets, email mfagan@rsf.k12.ca.us or call 858-770-2970, ext. 405.

San Dieguito Half Marathon to close roads on Feb. 8 The 47th annual San Dieguito Half Marathon will affect several Rancho Santa Fe roads on the morning of Sunday, Feb. 8, but fewer roads than in past years. The new course will mainly affect San Elijo and La Granada, but will stay off El Montevideo and Lago Lindo. “Overall, it’s less impactful to residents,” said RSF Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler. The race will affect the roads from 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on race day. The half marathon begins at San Dieguito Park and roads will be closed from La Orilla to San Elijo — runners turn around before El Montevideo. Participants will double back and head on an out-andback on La Granada, turning around before Avenida de Acacias and running back to the park. Residents are encouraged to use alternate routes during that time, on El Camino Del Norte, Paseo Delicias and Linea del Cielo. There will be additional traffic control volunteers at various intersections throughout the route. More information on the race can be found at kathyloperevents.com.

TOP PRODUCING AGENT In recent months, my husband David and I had the distinct pleasure of meeting top real estate agent, Janet Lawless Christ. She was representing a luxury home in Rancho Santa Fe Farms, when we met her at an open house. Approximately two and a half months later, we became PROUD owners of that magniﬁcent estate. This amazing feat could NEVER have manifested without the professionalism, tenacity, creativity, integrity, diplomacy and generosity of Janet Lawless Christ. Janet is an incredibly charismatic and competent person! It was an absolute joy working with her! My husband and I had complete faith in her abilities to participate in win-win negotiations, successfully solve problems (IE. multiple offers, two cancelled escrows and a frivolous lawsuit), and staying open and receptive to ideas and opinions of everyone involved. She kept us abreast of the status (often rocky and beyond our control) and remained completely calm and available Janet is my chosen realtor and treasured friend for life. I’m honored to have met her and incredibly grateful for her partnership.

Local doctor researching new therapies for treatment of pancreatic cancer BY JOE TASH Dr. Darren Sigal, a cancer physician and researcher at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, spends much of his time helping patients battle pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of the disease. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and those diagnosed with the disease have only a 4 or 5 percent chance of surviving five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The numbers are challenging,â&#x20AC;? said Sigal, a local resident. However, in recent years, researchers have come up with a number of promising new treatments for pancreatic cancer, and some of them are already helping patients. For example, the drug Abraxane was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September 2013 for late-stage or metastatic pancreatic cancer. According to Sigal, the one-year survival rate of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, which has spread to other parts of the body, has improved from 10 percent to about 30 percent, thanks to the drug. One of the characteristics of pancreatic cancer that makes it particularly difficult to treat is that its tumors form a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shellâ&#x20AC;? that can block standard chemotherapy drugs, said Sigal. Abraxane can target and dissolve the shell, he said. Other treatments being studied, some of which are close to approval by the FDA, would attack tumors in different ways, or degrade the tumorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense mechanisms, making them more susceptible to the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of promise,â&#x20AC;? Sigal said. As a clinician and researcher, he works with his colleagues at Scripps on providing clinical trials for patients, which can help develop new treatments for pancreatic cancer and also help the patients fight the disease. Sigal is part of a group of doctors from different medical disciplines at Scripps called the pancreas and bile duct cancer group. His colleagues include doctors Walt Coyle, Randy Schaffer, Jon Fisher, Warren Reidel and Ray Lin, along with nurse navigator Jane Williams. The group communicates daily by phone, text and email,

and meets face-to-face monthly for roundtable discussions, to help ensure that their pancreatic cancer patients follow the best course of treatment available. The developments in the battle against pancreatic cancer are fairly new; according to Sigal, as recently as two years ago, only two drugs were approved for treating the disease. Scripps doctors treat several hundred patients who have pancreatic cancer each year. The volume of patients makes Scripps a good candidate for clinical trials of potential new therapies, Sigal said. He also works with researchers at the Scripps Research Institute, who are conducting pre-clinical studies to examine the characteristics of pancreatic tumor cells with the aim of discovering new treatments. Outside the clinic, Sigal volunteers with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, giving educational talks to patients and their families. The group has also designated Scripps Clinic as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;center of excellenceâ&#x20AC;? for treatment of pancreatic cancer, because of the clinicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patient volume and expertise regarding the disease. Through the clinical trials and new drugs recently available to treat pancreatic cancer, said Sigal, it is his observation that â&#x20AC;&#x153;patients are living longer and better lives.â&#x20AC;?

During the holiday season, Las Madrinas honored 31 Southern California families and their daughters for their service to the Southern California community and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles at the annual Las Madrinas Ball at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. More than 800 guests from the greater Los Angeles area gathered to celebrate. Among the debutantes was local resident Claire Monahan Neville (pictured), who attended the Nativity School in RSF and is the daughter of Stephanie Hadfield Neville and Peter Martin Neville. Since 1939, Las Madrinas has honored families for their commitment to the civic, cultural, and philanthropic life of Southern California by presenting their daughters at the annual Las Madrinas Ball. Donations made in honor of the young women, with the annual support of Las Madrinas members and friends, have enabled Las Madrinas to complete eight major projects at the hospital since 1988.

Rady Children’s Hospital manager puts retirement on hold for return BY JOE TASH One year ago, Sue Cox retired from a 34-year career with Rady Children’s Hospital, where she had worked in a variety of positions, from a nurse in the pediatric intensive care unit to director of the trauma program. Today, she is back at the hospital, working as hard as ever, “which was not really the vision,” she conceded. But when her phone rang in August, and hospital officials asked her to return on an interim basis to manage the hematology/oncology unit, she said “yes.” “It would have been really easy to say, ‘No, thank you, I’m retired, find somebody else,” said Cox, who was 67 when she retired in January 2014. “But I passionately care about this place and the people in it.” So Cox went back to work after eight months of retirement, managing a unit that was new to her. The hospital wanted someone who was familiar to the organization to take the place of another manager who had resigned abruptly. After she took on the hematology/oncology assignment, officials later asked her to also serve as interim director of the hospital’s acute cardiac unit. The hospital is working to fill both managerial posts, and Cox has agreed to delay her retirement until permanent replacements are found. She said it wasn’t too difficult to go back to work because she hadn’t been out of the routine too long. “My car would automatically drive to Children’s whenever I headed west,” she said. Retirement for Cox didn’t mean slowing down. She volunteered as a delivery driver for Meals on Wheels, and as a “cuddler” at the Children’s intensive care unit. She also indulged in her hobby of quilting, traveled across Canada by train and cruised the Danube River in Europe with her husband of 46 years, Conrad Cox, a retired grocer. “I was having a great time,” she said. While she hopes to return to her volunteer work and travel in the near future, for now she’s committed to managing the two units at Children’s. Cox, who has worked her entire professional career at Children’s, entered nursing after a stint in the U.S. Air Force

Sue Cox didn’t find it difficult to return to work after a short retirement: “My car would automatically drive to Children’s whenever I headed west.” right out of high school. She comes from a long line of nurses, including her mother and aunts on both sides of her family. After leaving the military, she and her husband moved to San Diego and she attended nursing school at San Diego State University, where she earned a bachelor of science degree in nursing. Among the accomplishments she is proudest of, said Cox, is her work to help establish the pediatric trauma system in San Di-

ego, and also her role with a federal team that responds to emergencies. She and her fellow disaster team members become federal employees when the team is activated, which it has been for such incidents as the Northridge earthquake in 1994 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Cox remains the team’s chief nurse, and is available to serve if needed. Satisfying as it has been to serve as an administrator and mentor at Children’s, Cox said, she has found it equally rewarding to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families. She recalled being approached by a man after speaking about the trauma program at a Lions Club meeting in East County. The man said she had helped care for his

son, who had been badly injured in a car accident decades earlier. The boy had grown up to become a psychologist and live a happy, healthy life, the man told Cox. When she returned to the hospital, she showed a photo of the now-grown-up boy to a doctor who had also cared for the young accident victim. “Both of us felt so good about that,” she said. Cox, who has three grown children, said her husband wasn’t too surprised with her decision to put off her retirement for a bit longer. “He was fine with it,” she said. “He’s been very supportive of me no matter what I wanted to do in my life. We complement each other very well.”

Doctor to speak on ‘regeneration therapies’ Jan. 22 at RSF Library The “future” is happening now for San Diego patients as they explore emerging regenerative medicine options for their sports, spine, and arthritis care. Join quadruple board certified physician Alexandra Bunyak, M.D., to hear about the latest advances in stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, and prolotherapy. Bunyak will speak on “Regeneration Generation: Innovative Therapies for Sports, Spine, and Arthritis Care” at 11 a.m. Jan. 22 at the Rancho Santa Fe Library. Prolotherapy involves the injection of an irritant solution into a joint space, weakened ligament, or tendon insertion to relieve pain. The injection is administered at joints or at tendons where they connect to bone. Prolotherapy treatment sessions are generally given every two to six weeks for several months in a series ranging from 3 to 6 or more treatments. Many patients receive treatment at less frequent intervals until treatments are rarely required, if at all. Bunyak’s lecture will be followed by a Q&A session. Visit her website at www.feelboundless.com. She founded her practice in Encinitas in 2006 to offer patients innovative, nonsurgical, ultrasound-guided injection therapies that boost their own healing powers naturally. Bunyak is known for her ability to speak to patients in plain English while conveying complex medical information. The library is at 17040 Avenida de Acacias, Rancho Santa Fe. Call 858-756-2512.

the club has 375 golf members and 125 social members, as well as members in other categories. The Bay Club Company operates 11 resorts on the West Coast, and also has partnerships in Squaw Valley and Carmel Valley Ranch, according to its website. Among its holdings is the Bay Club Carmel Valley at 12000 Carmel Country Road, which offers swimming pools, tennis courts and a 15,000-square-foot fitness center. The country club’s 61year lease with the city expires in 2044. Under its terms, the club was exempt from paying rent from the start of the lease in 1983 through 2009, In return, club members paid for some $25 million in improvements to the property. Beginning in 2010, the country club began making annual rent payments to the city of about $900,000 per year. The payment for 2014 was $940,000, Wittert said. Cybele Thompson, director of real estate assets for the city of San Diego, said preliminary meetings have been held with the Bay Club Company, but nothing has

been officially presented regarding the proposed lease transfer. She said city officials are familiar with Bay Club and its Carmel Valley facility and that the company seems reputable. However, the city will need to review financial documents and a business plan before making its decision. Ultimately, the San Diego City Council will have to approve the lease transfer, a process that could take several months, she said. Terms of the proposed deal were not disclosed by the country club, and it was not clear if Bay Club would seek a lease extension from the city. Under the existing lease, the property would revert back to the city in 2044 when the agreement expires. Officials with the Bay Club Company could not be reached for comment by press time. Wittert said the club’s members decided to seek bids from interested purchasers after a study determined that in order to remain competitive in the country club market, the club would have to add family friendly amenities, such as an expanded fitness center, a swimming pool and upgraded dining facilities.

The proposed deal with Bay Club Company would position the country club to remain competitive into the future, Wittert said. “The members will benefit economically and will pay lower dues,” Wittert said. Golf members now pay monthly dues of $1,234, while social members pay $410 per month. Initiation fees are $18,000 for golf members and $2,500 for social members. Members will enjoy new amenities and also be able to use the Bay Club Company’s other facilities, Wittert said. “I think it’s a very positive move for the country club,” he said. The parties have not worked out whether the club’s 90 full-time and 40 part-time employees will be able to stay on after the ownership transition, Wittert said. But regardless of the outcome of the sale, Wittert said, he plans to retire in March after a 12-year tenure with the country club. “My plan and my wife’s plan is for us both to retire at the same time and go on with other activities that we’ve saved for and it’s time to put into motion,” he said.

This ‘dream home’ in Rancho Santa Fe will be raffled to support Ronald McDonald House. At 65,000 square feet, it’s the largest home the charity has ever featured.

RSF home chosen for Dream House Raffle to benefit Ronald McDonald House BY KAREN BILLING For the 11th year, a dream home in San Diego will be raffled off to support children and their families at San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House. The home of choice this year is a scenic retreat in Rancho Santa Fe, the largest the Ronald McDonald House Charities has ever featured. The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom custom home sits high atop a ridge on 2.4 acres with a panoramic mountain view that stretches out to the ocean. “The homeowners making this available to us is a gift,” said Chuck Day, president and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego who is tasked with touring enviable estates on the market to feature in their annual raffle. With more than 1,300 prizes available in the Dream House Raffle, participants have a one in 50 chance of winning. Prizes include luxury vehicles such as an Audi A6 or Mercedes Benz C350 Coupe; vacations to destinations like Switzerland, Monte Carlo and Hawaii; Apple laptop, 15 GOPRO cameras, diamond necklaces, pearl earrings and more. The grand prize raffle will be held on May 16 and ticket purchasers who enter early will have the added opportunity to win through bonus, early bird drawings. Participants can save by buying tickets in bulk — a package of three tickets costs $400 and a pack of five costs $550. An order of three or more serves as entry into a drawing for a 2015 Porsche Boxster Convertible or $50,000 cash. The winner of the grand prize can choose between the dream home or $2.1 million in cash if Ronald McDonald House meets its ticket threshold. In the past 10 years, the ticket threshold has been met three times: one winner has taken the house, the other two have taken the money. If the winner does take the cash, the home goes back to the seller, having enjoyed five months of marketing as a dream house. Last year’s raffle brought in more than $3 million and was the most successful in terms of the number of tickets sold and money raised, Day said. The Ronald McDonald House Charities relies on the fundraiser and other philanthropic donations to operate this “home away from home” for families with children being treated for serious, often life-threatening conditions at local hospitals. The Ronald McDonald House of San Diego was founded in 1980, opening with just eight rooms. The house just celebrated the five-year anniversary of its expansion, in which it grew to 47 rooms. “We were full then and we’ve been full every day since; that’s the challenge as we face the future,” Day said. The San Diego facility is unique in its 65,000-square-foot size, which puts it in the top 15 percent of the 350 Ronald McDonald Houses around the world. The house includes outdoor courtyards and play spaces for children and a Family Care Center to provide services for families who aren’t living there, such as meals, a computer lounge and play activity rooms for siblings. Between the rooms and those additional services, the group reaches 12,500 family members a year. In addition to its size, San Diego’s house is also unusual in that it is located directly across the street from Rady Children’s Hospital, “300 steps from the hospital bedside.” Because the house is uniquely situated near the highly specialized care offered at Rady’s and nearby Scripps Proton Therapy Center, the first in the country to treat patients with

Left, a view of the kitchen; above, a tall fireplace dominates a family room. pencil-beam scanning, the Ronald McDonald House of San Diego sees longer stays and kids who are facing more serious illnesses and injuries. The average length of stay at the house is 15 days, but Day said many people end up staying much longer. One family has been with them for six months and they are expecting to stay five to seven months more. Those long stays and the full rooms make it even more important that the house be a comfortable, welcoming home for families, helped along by the Dream House Raffle. “This [Dream House] is just absolutely stunning. It’s not every day you get to hang out at a 7,050-square-foot house,” said Day, drinking in the hilltop home’s vast view of mountains, canyon and ocean over the disappearing lip of an infinity pool in the backyard. The grand prize home is accessed through a dramatic entry with a courtyard and fountain, and a hillside that blooms with yellow flowers. Downstairs, a hall filled with natural sunlight links a spacious master chef’s kitchen, a living room space with two warming fireplaces, a wine cellar, a dining room that doubles as a library with its walls lined with bookshelves and a “second master suite” that in any other home would suffice as the first master suite with its large bathroom, office and walk-in closet. Upstairs, each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the luxurious master suite has ocean views from the bedroom, office, bathroom and private deck. Across the courtyard with its two garages is a guest house that could also serve as an artist’s quiet retreat. “This really is a home and it feels like a home,” Day said. “We invite everyone to take part in the dream.” Tickets can be purchased by calling 888-824-9939 or submitting a raffle order entry form via mail, fax or in-person at the Ronald McDonald House. Order forms and ticket information are available at SDraffle.com.

RESOLUTION continued from page 1

Association’s passing of the resolution would immediately trigger a conflict to the club’s bylaws that state that the GM reports to “the board of governors, period.” “I don’t feel like in the spirit of our relationship that this has been handled properly,” Dunn said. Dunn said the board of governors two months ago requested a meeting with the Association at the end of January to review the latest financial information, and to help the Association understand where some of their challenges have been and where they are headed as a club. RSF Association President Ann Boon said the Association board had not forgotten about the request to meet in January and was looking forward to doing so. After much discussion, the board decided to wait until after the joint meeting and vote on the resolution in February. The new Association manager, Bill Overton (visiting the meeting and not officially joining the staff until Jan. 28), agreed with the board’s decision, noting that nothing would be lost by waiting 30 days and that the delay was a demonstration in diplomacy. A resolution has been in place between the golf club and the Association since 1987, and it is reviewed every 10 years. It was last looked at in 2007 and will be reviewed again in 2017. Several amendments have been made, such as one in 2013 to let condominium owners join the club. The resolution discussion at the meeting was heightened when Dunn said that

continued from page 1

the golf club board had already fought and “lost” on the points of having their general manager report to the Association and to have the Association’s general manager attend their meetings. Dunn said the club has moved past the points that they lost on and said he thinks there is a lot of difference between words on paper and the actual relationship between the club and the Association. He said the club has been independent since 1987 and while they know they can’t have full independence, they want the Association to understand their vision and where they’re headed, and to get everyone on the same page. “We believe we’re moving forward in a very positive way that very well may modify significantly this resolution,” Dunn said, indicating more would be revealed in their meeting at the end of January. RSF Association Directors Rochelle Putnam and Kim Eggleston remarked that they didn’t understand the perceived conflict and the “trepidation” with having the GM report to both boards. Putnam said the fact that Dunn believed the modifications to be subject to debate crystallized in her mind the need to move forward with the resolution. She doesn’t believe that the GM’s reporting the Association or the manager attending club board meetings is up for debate. “I don’t think the desire is to micromanage the golf club, I think it just formalizes a natural relationship,” Eggleston said. “We’re all in this together.”

possible to scale back to offering it two times a week rather than four, as other private schools in the area opt to do. Delaney said in her experience, when they offered Spanish just twice a week, teachers reported that students didn’t have any mastery or retention — every year they were starting fresh. “It felt like we were appeasing parents and checking the box that we offered it, but it didn’t really help the students,” she said. If they did add Spanish back, Delaney said they would want to do it right, meaning offering it four times a week. The challenge again is where those minutes would come from. Before 1997, Spanish was offered in middle school only. But when the RSF Endowment was established, then-Superintendent R. Roger Rowe pushed for Spanish to be provided to grades K-6. In 1998, students K-6 were in Spanish three times a week for 30 minutes, but there was not a lot of carryover into middle school. In 2001, Spanish was reduced to just twice a week, and from 2002-04, it went down to one day a week for 45 minutes. In 2004-06, it was not offered at all for K-6,

but was brought back in 2007-10 as an elective class for fifth- and sixth-grade students. At its peak in 2009-10, there were 14 students in fifth-grade Spanish 1A and 20 in sixth- grade Spanish 1B, but those numbers dropped to seven in fifth and eight in sixth by the following year. The district provides space for a beforeschool, parent-paid Spanish program, but there was not enough interest this year to form a class. Only four parents signed their children up for the class. “There’s no new data that indicates we need to make a shift here,” Buchner said. The trustees grappled with the fact that a petition has signatures from 110 parents who want Spanish taught, but yet only four signed up. Trustee Marti Ritto suggested that maybe they could find a way to fund an after-school program, like robotics, or before school like the music offering. The trustees weren’t yet ready to make a recommendation to Delaney on Spanish and requested more information be brought to the February meeting. “It’s still intriguing to me to figure out a way to deliver this program for folks that want it,” RSF School District Vice President Tyler Seltzer said.

— Press release submitted by the RSF Tennis Club The RSF Tennis Club has a new board, headed by President Dave Van Den Berg, and a renewed sense of purpose. The board as a whole decided in August after the elections of its directors that it wanted to be a proactive board with new programs that are compatible with the community at large and with the goals of building upon the foundation that the past boards had established. The first item on the agenda was to establish a new mission statement. “The Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club is a private club dedicated to offering our community a first class tennis facility providing the highest quality instruction and competition for all levels of play in a social and welcoming environment.” After the development of the mission statement, objectives and goals were put in place. This helped to establish a clear guideline of how to proceed in updating the club. One of the most important goals was to attract more members, bring back members that have left and increase benefits to current members. Van Den Berg commented on the activities of the board and the RSF Tennis Club: “Having determined where we were and where wanted to go as a board we laid out our objectives and implemented certain strategies to increase membership at all levels, expand participation at the club, develop new promotional plans and new forms of communications to our membership while improving management of the club and its operations. “The next step was to set out tactics to achieve all these goals. That meant we had to develop a new Plan of Operations. We achieved this goal by working closely with the Association board. New membership categories were developed, spearheaded by Perrin Orr, and were approved after several meetings. Out of the nine membership categories, many are significant changes for the club that are meant to attract new members. “Extended Family Membership: This new membership classification allows any member of the club to extend their membership rights to their extended family members. This provides a benefit to Association members to extend their privileges to their family whether or not they are residents of the covenant for an initiation fee of $1,000, plus additional monthly dues assessed at the current rate. It is limited to 25 applicants. “RSF Golf Members: Current members of the RSF Golf Club may now join the RSF Tennis Club for a reduced enrollment fee of $500, representing a savings of over $3,200. Any such member will pay monthly tennis dues, in addition to their golf club dues, and be given Full Family Tennis Club Membership privileges. “Reinstated Member: Regular members who may have left the club are being welcomed back as full Regular Members with no enrollment or initiation fees on a dues-only basis.

“Social Member: Another new category of membership has been instituted for social members allowing the use of the clubhouse for special activities, such as bridge, backgammon, etc. Social Members are also then included in all Tennis Club social activities that generally are held at least once a month. “Tenured Membership: This new category is intended to welcome back players who had been members and for one reason or another left the club or the covenant and would like to continue their relationships, which they have built over time with the members of the tennis club. This membership is offered at the current initiation fee and dues in effect. “Other memberships have also been created and information regarding them are available by contacting The RSF Tennis Club. “In addition, according to our plan, we purchased a new website that is now in the process of being implemented.” Scott Degoler, the director in charge of the new website, stated, “We wanted a site that was state-of-the art, dynamic, yet compatible and representative of the Association’s and Golf Club’s websites so we would have a cross platform. It’s going to be a very dynamic and user-friendly site for our members and guests. The site should be up and operational in the coming month.” “The club has instituted many new and wonderful events, programs, clinics and exhibitions all being held at the club each month,” stated director, Christine Finkelson. “For example, we’ve had USTA tournaments, clinics with San Diego’s professional tennis team, The Aviators, Pro vs. Pro exhibitions held between clubs in the area, Social Mixers, an Open Week for the community to play tennis for free during Rancho Days, and our latest addition, Pickle Ball. In addition, the club has had A Day of Recognition for all past board directors, many Junior programs and a Holiday Party that the community was invited to attend and we have instituted New Member Welcome Receptions.” The Club’s Junior Program is growing fast, with over 60-plus participants this past year and more joining this year. The Tennis Club has expanded the program to include the 5th graders from the Rancho Santa Fe Middle School. “We want to get them as soon as they can walk,” said Head Pro Derek Miller, who coaches the school team. “The school district is very active in supporting our efforts. Eighty-five percent of these children live in the covenant, thus achieving one of our objectives of the club which is to grow locally in our Junior Program.” The RSF Tennis Club boasts national champions at all levels, some of whom will be the rising stars of the future. They all play at the club and can be seen most any day practicing on its courts. The Tennis Club encourages the community to come out and watch these amazing athletes. The RSF Tennis Club has very active league participation both for the women and men. “We’ve just added a AA women’s team

Letters/Commentary/Opinion

Rant with Randi: Aspen, then and now BY RANDI CRAWFORD Our family went to Colorado for Christmas, and had one heck of a time getting home. The irony of our travel ordeal is perfectly wrapped around what made the trip feel so different this year. Growing up, skiing was a very different experience. The lifts were for two people and went extremely slowly up the mountain. The lines to get on the lift could be as long as an hour and so most of the adults wore those leather Bota bags filled with red wine around their neck to stay sane. It was a much more social experience. We had a family of five, and therefore, someone always had to ride “single.” My older sister loved going with strangers, and somehow she knew their entire life story by the time they reached the top of the lift. I loved skiing in big groups of people that we met and accumulated on the lift line. My father worked around the clock, so when we took a family vacation, we were the first people on the mountain, and the last ones off. We took two 20-minute breaks for hot chocolate a Hershey bar, and fries. There was never any democracy about which run to take, or how long we should stay out. I hesitate even calling it a vacation! Today, skiing (and snowboarding) is entirely different. There are fourand six-person, high-speed chairs all over the mountain. Translation: Nobody is waiting on lines for more than 5 minutes anymore. No one ever has to ride “single” and meet new people because they are the odd man out. You get in so much more skiing that by noon you’re generally toast. But here’s what you don’t get with all the new high speed lifts. Nobody is

sharing their wine or talking to each other on lift lines, because the lines go too quickly. There is much less camaraderie on the mountain, because people come in big groups, stick together and don’t deviate. This brings me to my travel day(s) from hell. The entire week we were gone, it snowed (woo-hoo). There was no visibility, and the snow was fantastic. The weather was so precarious, that most of the kids’ Christmas gifts never even made it to Colorado. But the day we were leaving to come home, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and any concerns we had about leaving were off the table. (Traveling in and out of Aspen has always been an issue). Apparently, so many planes were unable to get into Aspen the night before, that it pushed commercial planes out of their assigned “slot.” What did this mean for my family? Forty private planes flew out of Aspen, while only three commercial flights took off that afternoon. Nope, I wasn’t on any of the three. I won’t take you through our 12 hours sitting on the floor of the airport near the men’s restroom so we could “juice” our cellphones, or our two-day ordeal to get home, but this is the “new Aspen.” Here it is: Large groups of people fly in on their private jets; they stay at private homes and have private

Education Matters/Opinion Charlie is the wor(l)d BY MARSHA SUTTON JE SUIS CHARLIE. Just as after 9/11, when civilized people around the globe pro- Marsha Sutton claimed they are all American, today we proclaim we are all French. Because what happened last week was an attack on the most fundamental of principles embraced by every democracy on earth. The world stands united against the scourge of barbarism and terrorism that seeks to silence values democracies hold most sacred: freedom of speech and a free press. Democracy without freedom of speech and a free press cannot be. Je Suis Charlie. The murderous rampage in Paris has shown that the vile intolerance that defines radical Islamic fundamentalism goes well beyond ridding the world of Israel and so-called American imperialism. This is not a war against Americans or Jews; this is a war waged against democracy. This is a war against the basic needs every human longs for and deserves — freedom to worship peacefully as one pleases, to speak freely, to gather together in nonviolent assembly, to be granted equal rights and equal opportunity, to live free from the chains of oppression under an open, secular government. Je Suis Charlie. The Paris massacres (both of them) have mobilized millions around the world who stand unafraid in the face of such cold-blooded atrocity. Instead of scaring people, the killers have created strength and unity of purpose and fortified resistance to such evil. Those who, in the name of religion, slaughtered innocent journalists and cartoonists (cartoonists!) will pay a heavy price for their intolerance. They have changed world opinion and united nations, peoples and ideals. We fight as one now, against this malignant extremist ideology. This must be a seismic shift, a tipping point when outrage over religious fanaticism at last becomes personal. These are global issues with massive implications for the world’s democracies. And yet, these universal principles filter down to every corner of the world —

including ours. Although it is hubris to suggest that community newspapers have the same influence as national magazines, the ramifications are chilling nonetheless. What happens to us if people are not permitted to speak out at community planning board or school board meetings? What happens to the person who braves the authorities and asks how public money is being spent? What happens if someone is not allowed to question school district policies, voting regulations or local ordinances? What happens to all of us if each person must think carefully about whether they are willing to subject themselves to punishment should their words at a public meeting or in a letter to the editor cause them personal harm? Our democratic values mean nothing if journalists are not permitted to cover the news, hold governments accountable, and probe into laws, policies and trends that may offend the powerful. If fear of retribution for exercising our right to free speech becomes real, the Paris horror touches each of us deeply. That’s why so many have awakened to the threat before us. I have wished many times that my editor (bless her heart) would have censored critics of mine over the years who submitted letters to this newspaper with outrageous accusations against me, for expressing opinions they objected to. But if I start down that road, where does it lead? If I have the right to express my opinions freely, aren’t others also allowed that right? Je Suis Charlie. Charlie Brown The French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo took its name from the “Peanuts” cartoon strip character “Charlie Brown.” The goal was to poke fun, to laugh at extremists, to mock repressive ideologies. Today, Lucy would hold that football steady for Charlie Brown and he would kick it a mile. Instead of destroying Charlie Hebdo, the terrorists made it stronger. They may have killed people, but they can never kill righteous ideals. After the carnage at Charlie Hebdo, the murderers reportedly yelled, “The prophet is avenged.” So the Muslim prophet cannot tolerate cartoon

drawings, but mass murder is OK? Sidetracking a bit here, the mainstream media could be more judicious in the terminology they use to report these stories. So often “the Prophet Muhammad” is written without quotes. Is it not more objective to say “Islam’s prophet Muhammad”? Or “the Muslim prophet Muhammad”? When a reporter on network television said that Al Qaeda had “taken credit” for the massacre, it was a poor choice of words. Taken credit? How about “taken the blame”? Or at least “taken responsibility.” Being politically correct can sometimes go too far. Voltaire The 18th-century French Enlightenment philosopher and writer, Voltaire, is remembered for his satire, wit and fierce advocacy of freedom of expression and separation of church and state. Voltaire was famously, and somewhat inaccurately, credited (in this case, “credit” is the appropriate word) with saying, “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Although it’s now accepted that the sentence was written by Voltaire’s biographer, Evelyn Beatrice Hall, she said at the time that it exemplified Voltaire’s strongest beliefs. Je Suis Charlie. After the murders at Charlie Hebdo, a number of prominent writers issued a statement, according to TIME online, which read in part, “We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and secular values for all.” Je Suis Charlie — the rallying cry of all individuals across the globe who denounce religious fanaticism, declare they are not afraid, and pronounce their determination to stand up and defend humanity’s basic right to freedom of speech and self-expression. For what are we without that? Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. We are all French today. Je Suis Charlie. Are you? Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@ gmail.com.

Ethel Savage, a new widow, has been left with a substantial fortune. But her three grown children — a senator, a judge and a gold-digger of a daughter — are intent on keeping her from dispensing it in any way she chooses. So they conspire to have her committed to a private sanatorium known as “The Cloisters.” There, Ethel is left to work out how she will deal with her spiteful offspring, while getting to know the colorful characters who live in the facility. “The Curious Savage” is a feelgood play filled with heart, where the neglected virtues of kindness and affection have not been entirely lost in a world that seems motivated at times by greed and dishonesty.

chefs. They shop at Gucci, Moncler and James Perse (all stores they could find in any major city), which have taken the place of the A-frame stores that were unique to Aspen. It used to be that even if you had money, you flew in on a commercial airline, first-class, but you were somehow connected with everyone else. You saw each other on a flight, and then met them the next day on the mountain. It was friendly. Today we are all so isolated. What was once a very social community of like-minded people enjoying the slopes has turned into a place where people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be bothered with anything except how many runs they can squeeze in. When people are at the lodge, all they do is look down at their cellphone, or stalk your table so they can grab a seat. Call me old-fashioned, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the longer lift lines and a little more camaraderie. I want my kids to connect with people around them, and each day all we do is become more and more distant from each other. Skiing is just one of so many examples around us. What say you?

Rising Australian blues singer Hamish Anderson at Belly Up Jan. 25 BY ROB LEDONNE This time last year, 23-year-old Hamish Anderson had no idea he’d be recording and touring around the United States as a working artist with a growing fan base. Anderson, a native of Melbourne, Australia, with two successful EPs under his belt, is bringing his act to Solana Beach’s Belly Up on Sunday, Jan. 25, opening for Los Lobos. “I haven’t really explored Southern California that much,” Anderson said from Melbourne, where he was on his summer break. “I’m really interested to see what it’s all about. From what I can tell, it’s very different from Melbourne.” Anderson’s roots in blues began when he was just 12 years old while exploring his father’s vinyl collection. “He Hamish Anderson had the Rolling Stones, Beatles, and Led Zeppelin records, and I got influenced by the artists who influenced them.” It was a curious choice at first, considering that the blues doesn’t have the same cachet in Australia that it has in America, especially in places like Chicago or Nashville. “The blues has never really been at the forefront of popular music there,” Anderson explained. “But I begged my parents for months to get me a guitar, and it became an obsession.” That obsession found Anderson practicing the guitar in his room day and night, honing his craft and waiting to perform in public. “For a long time I considered myself only a guitarist,” he said of his musical evolution. “I then got more into songwriting, and that’s what felt more real to me as something I wanted to continue doing.” From listening to those Rolling Stones records to honing his songwriting and guitar skills, Anderson began focusing on a career in music and began hitting the stage. The result was a banner 2014, which came full circle when he linked up with Krish Sharma, a LA-based producer known for his work with the legendary Don Was and the Stones themselves. “We wound up getting along really well, but I didn’t think anything would come from it,” Anderson said. “We had a good vibe and were on the same brainwave, so we collaborated.” The result of that collaboration is Anderson’s two EPs, the latest of which, “Restless,” features the handiwork of Sharma, as well as pedal guitarist Greg Liesz (who has worked with Tom Petty) and mixer Brian Lucey (best known for mixing albums for the likes of The

Black Keys and The Shins). “We only did about two or three takes of each song,” Anderson explained of his recording process. “After doing so much touring with my band, we felt really comfortable with playing live. I wanted the songs to have a live feel.” He scored his latest coup this past fall when he opened up for blues god B.B. King, which Anderson calls “a dream come true. His band, which also played with Ray Charles, was very complimentary towards me and that was awesome.” Now he’s focusing on making 2015 as good as the previous year. “Everyone back home kind of really enjoys everything that’s been happening to me,” he said. “It’s going so well and I never thought any of these things were going to happen. It’s gotten better and better and that’s all you can really ask for.” Visit hamishanderson. com.au.

Big inspiration comes in little pieces for mosaic artist

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING Helen Segal can take bits of broken pieces and turn them into something they never dreamed of being. Her goal as an artist who specializes in mosaics is to find the interesting and unique in the mundane, and to repurpose the discarded and unwanted into something beautiful. In her 19 years living in this area, neighbors have learned she’s the “mosaic lady,” and offerings of tiles and scraps will appear anonymously at her doorstep. “What other people think is junk is truly my magic,” Segal said. Last year in one of her biggest artistic endeavors, Segal built sculptures for the San Diego Jewish Academy campus. A group of life-size ladies was named “The Matriarchs,” representing the Above left: Helen Segal at her wave sculpture, a commissioned project in La Jolla; above right, ‘The Matriarchs’ at San Diego Jewish Academy four matriarchs of the Jewish were sculpted by Helen Segal with mosaic work by Barbi Dorfan, Sigal Sherman and Cheryl Rattner Price.

Lady Gaga/Tony Bennett make surprise appearance at Belly Up • Foo Fighters, Aloe Blacc also there Jan. 9 for private party BY GEORGE VARGA, SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW No, April Fool’s Day did not come early this year to the Belly Up in Solana Beach, which on Jan. 8 hosted a private concert by Foo Fighters, Aloe Blacc and the chart-topping vocal duo of Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett. The superstar-studded lineup was on hand to perform at a private party for William Morris Endeavor, one of the world’s leading talent agencies. The Belly Up is a familiar venue to WME music division chairman Marc Geiger, a former UC San Diego student who co-founded the annual Lollapalooza music festival in 1991. WME represents all four artists booked for its Belly Up party, along with Bruno Mars, Black Sabbath, Nine Inch Nails and many more. No prior announcements were made about the invitation-only show, whose lineup was displayed Jan. 9 on the Belly Up’s marquee. Social media blew up

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga performed Jan. 9 at a private party at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. Also on the bill: Aloe Blacc and Foo Fighters. Jan. 9 when rumors began swirling about the party, eventually replaced by confirmation by music aficionados who took pictures of the marquee. In a subsequent online post, Lady Gaga wrote: “The Foo Fighters were so incredible tonight, monster fury rock n’ roll, 20 years of locked precision. Can’t stop screaming, almost took my pants off Dave playing guitar with an empty shot of Jägermeister. Glass to the strings.” She also tweeted: “Me and Tony tonight. Just giving big ups to the boss. I love being his go go girl.” It is, without doubt, the biggest lineup to ever perform at the 600-capacity Belly Up, which opened in 1974 and has hosted concerts by everyone from B.B. King and Kenny Rogers to former Van Halen singer David Lee Roth. Foo Fighters perform this weekend at the 18,000-capacity Forum in Los Angeles, while Bennett and Gaga will perform May 30 at the similarly sized Hollywood Bowl.

Cygnet opens year with ‘Sons of the Prophet’ Cygnet Theatre in Old Town San Diego continues its run of presenting Southern California premieres with “Sons of the Prophet” (now through Feb. 15), the latest work by Stephen Karam (“Speech and Debate”). With the play premiering at New York’s Roundabout Theatre in 2011, Karam was hailed as “a major new voice in American Theater.” His brutally funny and explosive comedy was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize and has received multiple other awards, including the 2012 Drama Critics Circle, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel and Hull-Warriner awards for Best Play. Inspired by an actual news story about a high school prank gone wrong, Karam’s contemporary tale about two gay brothers dealing with a family tragedy in a run-down area of Nazareth, Penn., deals with themes of family, culture and resilience. Two brothers are on their own after their father dies of a heart attack two weeks after a car accident, leaving them alone to care for themselves and their aging uncle. What unfolds is a comedy about human suffering, love, strength and hope. Director Rob Lutfy returns to Cygnet after a critically acclaimed mounting of “The Motherf**ker with the Hat” last season. Lutfy is the 2014-2015 National New Play Network Producer-in-Residence at Marin Theatre Company. He has worked on plays in development at The Kennedy Center, The O’Neill Theatre Center and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. He was the 2012-13 William R. Kenan, Jr. Directing Fellow at The John F. Kennedy Center. He is a graduate of the directing program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts School of Drama, where he returns annually to teach acting as guest faculty. “We see so much humor and pathos in these layered people,” said Lutfy. “Karam portrays a uniquely American phenomenon. It’s an immigrant story. The world of ‘Sons of the Prophet’ is just as complicated as the conflict in the Middle East: present over past, the new world over the old world, and a fall from a more prosperous, meaningful past.” The nine-member cast includes a majority of actors making Cygnet Theatre debuts, as well as two actors in a long line

J* Company Youth Theatre launches 2015 with a rollicking classic, Gilbert & Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance.” Directed by Joey Landwehr, this operetta tells the story of the morally centered Frederic, who has erroneously been apprenticed to and raised by a band of pirates. Upon his release on his 21st birthday, he decides to strike off on his own and become an upstanding citizen — which may even mean bringing the pirates to justice. But soon he meets Mabel and they fall in love. Everything seems perfect until Frederick discovers that he was born on Feb. 29, and technically has a birthday only on a leap year. Will his sense of duty and honor force him to leave Mabel and serve the pirates for another 63 years until he officially turns 21? Will Mabel and her sisters be captured by the pirates and be forced to lead the very life Frederic is trying to escape? Performances run from Friday, Jan. 16, through Sunday, Jan. 25 at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, Jacobs Family Campus, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla.

Mysterious, spicy fun in North Coast Rep’s ‘Gunmetal Blues’ BY DIANA SAENGER Mystery mixes with sexual motivation at the seedy, smoky Red Eye Lounge, in the San Diego premiere of the musical, “Gunmetal Blues,” directed by Andrew Barnicle from Jan. 17-Feb. 8 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. How a trench-coated private eye, jaded piano player and sultry blondes work together — or antagonize each other — unfolds in this funny, inventive play, which fans of film noir mysteries won’t want to miss. Sharon Rietkerk stars as The Blondes, Kevin Bailey as The Private Eye, and Jeffrey Rockwell as The Piano Player/ Music Director. Rietkerk said she’s ready for the challenge of playing multiple characters in her NCRT debut, and ready for the singing and dancing, as well. Bailey plays just one character, but Rockwell, like Rietkerk, tackles several. “It’s an intimate ensemble with three people carrying the workload of an entire cast,” Rietkerk said. “My characters are all exceedingly different from each other, with different voices, histories and motives, and it’s really fun.” She agreed that because the play is sexy and funny, it mimics the screwball comedies of early Hollywood. “The first blonde in the story is a femme fatale archetype,” Rietkerk said. “She’s the one who hires Sam, the private eye who is down on his luck, has morals, but drinks too much and is a dark soul. This starts the plot moving as we find out about her past. She’s curious, cold and alluring, and it’s uncertain what she’s hiding.” Rietkerk sees “Gunmetal Blues” as a musical homage to film noir. “We do stop to sing, which usually doesn’t happen in film noir, but I think it treats the genre very lovingly by being aware of itself and telling a story in the medium of stage, which is different than film with technology and approach. Scott Wentworth, the writer, did a wonderful job blending humor, history and music into one show.” Rietkerk said audiences often think comedy is easier to do than drama, but ask most actors and they’ll disagree. “It would seem easier to tell a joke than to cry,” she said. “A

cause of the small spaces behind the stage, but I just memorize the order of things, and thankfully, there is someone back there to help me, and eventually it becomes a rhythm.” Working at NCRT has been a wonderful experience. “There are dedicated people working both on and off stage. Everyone I’ve talked to speaks passionately about the work that is done here,” she said. “I’m grateful that Andrew Barnicle is directing, because he’s so familiar with the material, which is a dense plot with lots of twist and turns. I adore my two actors. Kevin is wonderful and Buddy helps Sam tell the story by turning into the doorman, the cop, or the gangster. “The cleverness of using two actors to play multiple characters, but tell one story, is unique,” Rietkerk said. “There’s complexity even within the conventions of the play. The music score and lyrics by Craig Bohmler and Marion Adler have elements of blues and jazz, and winks at classic music as well, all of which enhances the voice of the writer. It’s a really fun show.” “Gunmetal Blues” runs matinees and evenings Jan. 17Feb. 8 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

You have to have a sense of awareness and timing, and be cognitive of your audience and the purpose of the jokes and lines that have humor. I love it. There’s nothing better than hearing laughter or feeling enjoyment from the audience.” Rietkerk said she’s managing all she has to do for her five characters — especially every time she must exit the stage to become a different one. “I have to change my clothes really quickly, so it’s a definite dance of choreography,” she said. “That could have been a problem here be-

The Thorp family founded the Mitchell Thorp Foundation in 2009, which has since supported about 100 families by paying for medical, living and transportation costs.

Thorp Foundation’s 6th annual 5K run/walk coming up Feb. 7 BY KRISTINA HOUCK For five years, Brad and Beth Thorp searched for answers to their son Mitchell’s undiagnosed illness. And when the community learned of their story, it rallied around them, offering support. “The community came out on behalf of our family and did a walkathon to help us pay off the enormous medical bills we had incurred over the years,” Beth Thorp recalled. “It was just an amazing, humbling experience.” Although the Thorps lost their 18-year-old son in November 2008, their tragedy inspired the couple to give back to the community, founding the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, which supports families with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders. “It was a matter of turning our tragedy into something inspirational for others,” said Thorp, co-founder and executive director. “It also helped us through our grieving process, carrying Mitchell’s name forward.” Mitchell was in seventh grade when he started experiencing severe headaches. By the end of his five-year battle, he could no longer walk or talk, and he had difficulty seeing. The pain in his head was so severe he had seizures. Medicine did not help. Mitchell’s medical bills multiplied as the Thorp family traveled across the country, looking for answers. To help cover some of the costs, Carlsbad baseball leagues organized a walkathon to raise money for Mitchell’s treatments. An avid baseball fan, Mitchell grew up playing baseball in the community. He followed in his father’s footsteps, who played minor league baseball for the Dodgers. In 2009, the city of Carlsbad named the Poinsettia Park ballfield after Mitchell. Inspired by their son’s strength and the community’s support, the Thorp family founded the Mitchell Thorp Foundation in 2009, which has since supported about 100 families by paying for medical, living and transportation costs. “Parents will go to the ends of the Earth, like we did, to do whatever it takes to help their child,” said Thorp, whose family has lived in Carlsbad for 20 years. “We do what we can to support them.” To raise funds for families in need, the foundation’s sixth annual 5K Run/Walk is returning Feb. 7 to Carlsbad’s Poinsettia Community Park — the same park where friends and neighbors rallied around the Thorps years before. Nearly 1,000 people attended last year’s event, which raised about $178,000, Thorp said. This year’s event features a new course and a chip-timed race, as well as new activities, including a Kid Ventures Kids Zone. The event will also offer food, health/wellness vendors, music and other entertainment. “It’s very heartwarming to be there,” Thorp said. “It’s a very fun, family, communitytype event. And the money goes toward something really special.” For information or to register, visit mitchellthorp.org.

MADISON GALLERY PRESENTS

MIYAEvenings ANDO Madison Gallery is pleased to present new work by emerging New York artist Miya Ando exploring the transitory nature of time and place. The exhibition will explore this harmony with a new body of work focused on the transitory passing of the day into the hush quietness of evening. Additionally, Ando will utilize her skills as a sculptor to explore new mediums such as glass to isolate cloud fields and Japanesse Bodi leaves hand-dyed in hues reminiscent of evening light. Whether or not one sees her works as landscapes or seascapes is not important, what is critical is that one sees her art as vital studies of color and light that have the power to influence our emotions and offer a quiet space for contemplation. Ando’s work has been exhibited extensively throughout the world, including a recent show curated by Guggenheim curator Nat Trotman. Miya’s public commissions include projects in South Korea, London, New York and California. Her work appears in many important public and private collections and she was the recipient of the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant in 2012, the Thanatopolis Special Artist Award and Public Outdoor Commission Winner and Puffin Foundation Grant winner. She received her Bachelor of Science Magna Cum Laude in East Asian Studies at UC Berkeley and continued her studies at Yale University, in addition to serving as an apprentice to a master metal smith in Japan. Founded in 2001, Madison Gallery is committed to representing emerging, mid-career and established international artists whom work in a range of media. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art, the gallery consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery works closely in building private, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in California.

MIYA ANDO Half Japanese & half RussianAmerican, Ando is a descendant of Bizen sword makers and was raised in a Buddhist temple in Japan and in coastal Northern California. Combining traditional techniques of her ancestry with modern industrial technology, she skillfully transforms sheets of metal into ephemeral, abstract paintings suffused with color. The foundation of Ando’s practice is the transformation of surfaces. She applies heat, sandpaper, grinders, acid and patinas to metal canvases, irrevocably altering the material’s chemical properties to produce subtle, light-reflective gradations of color and texture. The resulting works subtly evoke ethereal, minimalist landscapes, cloud formations and abstracted metallic horizons. Ando’s goal is to create a relationship between her industrial materials and the natural world. “I’m interested in elemental and material transformations, so I look to materials that can show a duality. Hard metal becomes ethereal and reflects light differently throughout the day, or becomes something that captures changing light, as in the sky,” she says. “The paintings are about finding harmony and balance between the man-made and natural.”

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS La Jolla Wellness Studio employs unique techniques BY DIANE Y. WELCH Innovation and space-program technology set the La Jolla Wellness Studio worlds apart from other health clubs. In its new state-of-the-art facility in downtown La Jolla, the studio provides a wellness program that promotes the health of body, mind and spirit and appears more like a futuristic spa than a gym. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only high-tech, but efficient, too. The studio offers a unique 30-minute workout â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a personal trainer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equivalent to 100 minutes of weight training, 60 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of stretching in a single session, said Michelle Racine, the studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managing director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the machines we use was the type used by NASA astronauts when they orbited the Earth for a couple of years so that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose their lean body mass,â&#x20AC;? Racine explained. Workouts using the patent-pending MyoMetrix Method Workout begin with an optional treatment of the i-Lipo Ultra Laser, which emits low levels of laser energy. This naturally breaks down stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, which are then transported to the tissues that will use them during exercise. Next is 10 minutes of vertical vibration therapy, which increases production of human growth hormone, serotonin and endorphins while it lowers cortisol and lactic acid. It decreases cellulite, tightens skin and relieves menopausal symptoms while increasing metabolism, reducing body fat and relieving stress. Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to the Range of Motion machine, for high-intensity four-minute interval training that boasts the same results as 45 minutes of cardio and weight training

combined. Workouts conclude with a 10- to 15-minute horizontal vibration recovery, calibrating metabolism for optimal fat loss and lean muscle mass building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This also does tremendous things for skin and vascular flow,â&#x20AC;? said Racine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys who go on it have reported that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to take Viagra anymore.â&#x20AC;? Gene Barduson is the founder of this unique MyoMetrix Method Workout. Aiming to stay healthy after a cancer diagnosis, Barduson wanted to invent something to reverse the aging process and keep himself fit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So he put this very high-tech system together for himself and friends at his country club,â&#x20AC;? said Racine of the inspiration for La Jolla Wellness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His friends started having miraculous things happen, like not needing to take high blood pressure medication and having the best golf game in their life,â&#x20AC;? said Racine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women in their 70s were able to play four sets of tennis, and they started to look younger.â&#x20AC;? In fact, Racine was a client before she became managing director. A dancer, she used the method to help alleviate the aches and pains that often come with rigorous exercise. The method breaks down lactic acid, reduces cortisol levels and erases depression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how great I felt,â&#x20AC;? Racine commented. Word of the La Jolla Wellness Studio has even traveled to the medical school at Western Oregon University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are so fascinated by our patented process that they are doing an 18-month study to see what all the health benefits are,â&#x20AC;? said Racine. The studio offers massage, Reiki heal-

RSF Rady Auxiliary to hold Circus Nights Gala Jan. 31 The Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary will hold its Circus Nights Gala on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015, at the Grand Del Mar. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Sam S. and Rose Stein Emergency Care Center in support of its Resuscitation Room Project. The center is the only emergency care center in the region dedicated to caring for kids and the only one in San Diego County designated as a Level 1 pediatric trauma center. Each year, there are approximately 70,000 emergency care visits. Services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Circus Nights will feature a cirque-style show extravaganza headlined by the internationally acclaimed troupe “iL CIRCo,” which will present for “Viaggio” (the journey). Inspired by the classical Italian theatrics of the Commedia dell’arte, Viaggio fuses modern-day acrobatics with the popular French-Canadian circus arts into a rich tapestry of song, dance, comedy, fantasy and awe-inspiring acts of strength, grace and agility. Luminous stage sets create a world where no color is too vivid and no dream is left unexplored. The result is a

brilliantly choreographed journey. “Over the past 17 Years, the Rancho Santa Fe Auxiliary Unit raised more than $9 million for Rady Children’s Hospital. This would not have been possible without the help of our sponsors, supporters and countless volunteers,” said Sandra den Uijl, board member of the Auxilliary Unit and gala co-chairwoman with Greta Sybert. “Viaggio touches the heart, defies gravity and creates images that will be remembered for a lifetime.” In addition to the private cirque-style show, the gala will feature Live, Mini-Live, and Silent Auctions. Dinner will be followed by a Happily Ever After Party for dancing, late night snacks and dessert. To register for the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary’s Circus Nights Gala, visit www.rcha-rsf.org for tickets, VIP Tables, sponsorships, underwriting, and donations.

Encinitas Wellness Week set for Jan. 24-31

Del Mar Pines students

Del Mar Pines School wins Wyland National Art Challenge Using the theme “Our Ocean,” Del Mar Pines School created a schoolwide mural for the Wyland “Water Is Life” National Art Competition and won in the K-4 category. Del Mar Pines School is a private K-6th elementary school in Carmel Valley. “We are honored to win this prestigious award and pleased it was for such an important topic,” said Tanya Robinson, the school’s art instructor. “While each student communicates their own interpretation of the theme, all 145 students collaborated to create one mural, promoting the protection of our oceans. The entries help students connect what they learn in the classrooms with the outside world through the power of the visual arts.” The concept for the group project was designed by Robinson and art intern Marissa Woytowitz, a Del Mar Pines graduate and Torrey Pines High School student. The mural draws attention to the diminishing number of female sea turtles in the ocean. The Spanish message “Protect It” signifies the importance of collaborating with Mexico to help protect the sea turtles from extinction, as well as reaching out to this region’s large Hispanic population. Robinson adds. “The mural reflects our dedication at Del Mar Pines School to encourage the children to: become responsible global citizens, connect with their community and increase awareness of current affairs. We are also hopeful that it will teach them art’s role in society.” Del Mar Pines is located in Carmel Valley at 3975 Torrington St, San Diego, CA 92130.

‘Life on the Lot’ The pilot episode of “Life on the Lot” — the first reality show set in Encinitas, according to executive producers Karen and Gene Ventura — was presented Jan. 10 at a red-carpet event held at the La Paloma Theatre. The Venturas, who live in Rancho Santa Fe, are the stars of the show, primarily filmed at their EZ Cars 101 dealership in Encinitas. The show mainly centers on a day in the life of Gene Ventura and the people he encounters through the business, ranging from those whom he works with (such as mechanics) to the customers. Two cameras were used to film the pilot, including a drone that captured aerial images of Encinitas, Cardiff and Rancho Santa Fe. The Venturas hope that after the Jan. 10 premiere, “Life on the Lot” will be picked up by a network for a 13-episode season, although there is a chance that it could be given the green light for two seasons.

Rancho Coastal Humane Society truck Beatles-Stones tribute bands return destroyed by fire; public’s help sought to Belly Up for Jan. 31 ‘shootout’ A leak in a pickup truck owned by the Rancho Coastal Humane Society started with a few drops of gasoline and ended in a blaze that destroyed the vehicle. The fire occurred late Jan. 4, near the shelter’s campus at 389 Requeza St. in Encinitas. Now shelter officials are asking the public for help. The fire began during maintenance to determine the source of the gasoline leak. As the mechanic worked, some of the gas dripped onto his pants legs. A spark ignited near his feet, setting his pants on fire. He stepped away from the truck A leak in a pickup truck owned by the Rancho Coastal to put out the fire on his Humane Society started with a few drops of gasoline pants. When he turned and ended in a blaze that destroyed the vehicle. around, the blaze had begun to engulf the truck. RCHS President Jim Silveira said that the truck had recently undergone numerous repairs. “It was getting old. There were some fluid leaks. A problem with the ignition frequently left us with a dead battery. For the most part, they were normal repairs for a truck that had a lot of miles on it. They were all inconveniences, but nothing dangerous for our animals or staff members.” The truck was a 2002 GMC with a crew cab and extended bed. Silveira said, “An animal shelter truck gets a lot of use. One day it might transport a litter of puppies or kittens. The next day it could be hauling hay in the morning and pulling a pet evacuation trailer into a fire zone in the afternoon. We were afraid that the truck was approaching its expiration date. Now there’s no question. We need to replace it.” The replacement doesn’t need to be an exact match, but it does need the same capabilities. “If a person or a business has a used truck that they can donate, that would be terrific. If not, RCHS is accepting donations to buy a replacement. We rely on our shelter truck every day. So the sooner we can replace it, the better.” For information about how to donate a vehicle or to make a financial donation to help buy a truck, call 760-753-6413, visit www.sdpets.org, or visit the Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St. in Encinitas.

Impact of Dropping Oil Prices: Winners and Losers No doubt you’ve noticed a substantial change at the gas pump lately as the cost of gas has dropped considerably over the past six months. In fact, the price of oil has dropped 40% since its peak in June of last year. There are two main reason for this drop: one, economic growth at the global level has

slowed which weakens demand. And two, the production of oil in the U.S. has been surging over the last couple of years. The impact of all this, of course, is much more far-reaching than just a cheaper trip to the gas station. Let’s take a look at who some of the winners and losers are of this trend on the global level and how it affects us here in the United States. The Losers In general, those who are losing out the most, of course, are oil companies and countries with a large net oil export, as well as the high yield sector (with the energy sector making up over 20% of the high yield market in the U.S.). There are some countries, however, that will feel the hit harder than others: Venezuela – One of the largest oil exporters, Venezuela is also tens of billions of dollars in

debt, so their economy was struggling even before the oil prices dropped. Russia – While Russia, also one of the world’s largest producers, does have some reserves to guard against the loss in oil revenue, a combination of sanctions from the west and a declining rouble have made Russia even more dependent on oil. Iran – Iran may be in the most trouble. It spent 25% ($100 billion) of its GDP on consumer subsidies last year. And like Russia, heavy sanctions will make it nearly impossible to avoid big ﬁnancial trouble. Saudi Arabia – While many may assume Saudi Arabia will take the biggest hit, that’s not necessarily the case. Even though they are the largest oil supplier of the OPEC nations, Saudi Arabia would be able to weather the hit more

than any other oil-producing country thanks to their rising foreign reserves. In fact, they could probably withstand decades of deﬁcits which is why they remain steadfast in letting prices fall, mainly to ensure the production of U.S. shale oil does not increase and take some of their share of the market. The Winners First off, the big winner is the world economy as a whole. Tom Helblin of the IMF says that a 10% change in oil prices is associated with around 0.2% change in a global GDP. BP will take considerable hits. Halliburton has recently lost 44% of its value, while BP has lost 25% in a matter of months.

Segal taught Jenna to talk using music, poems and stories, writing â&#x20AC;&#x153;silly dittiesâ&#x20AC;? to help her find words. She painted a story on a tapestry, now hanging in her living room, that she used to help Jenna sleep through the night. By age 4, Jenna was able to talk and make sounds, and by age 7 she was able to talk with enough clarity for people to understand her. Now Segal jokes that she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get her to stop talking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable what Helen was able to do,â&#x20AC;? said good friend Robyn Rappaport, who admires not only Segalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic abilities but also her strength. Jason, now a film student at Chapman University, made a touching and award-winning documentary about Jenna while he was a student at Canyon Crest Academy. The experience not only opened Jasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes to the power of filmmaking, but it changed Segalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life as well. As the mother of a special-needs child, she expressed how she sometimes felt hopeless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The film changed my life because it allowed me to find support for my daughter so that I could actually breathe,â&#x20AC;? she said. Segalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus for many years had been on her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. By the time Jason was 10, her marriage was beginning to fall apart. She had to figure out a way to support herself as a single mother with a special needs child who required 24-hour care. She ended up becoming certified to teach Pilates, and out of a studio in her home, her business slowly but surely started to grow. She has now taught about 10,000 hours of classes, which has allowed her to pursue her art. At one stage, she was spending eight to 10 hours a day teaching five days a week, which she admits was exhausting. She has been able to cut back because she is getting more art commissions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to teach a

lot less and do more artwork,â&#x20AC;? Segal said. Segal is extremely proud of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matriarchs.â&#x20AC;? The entire process, from those initial scribbles of design to finishing all four forms, took about a year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before a single piece of mosaic tile was placed. Segal was approached in February 2013 about a space in Levanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden that had been earmarked for a fountain. The school wanted a concept that featured pots and pouring water. She spent hours sketching pots, but none of them really interested her. Inspired by African sculptures, she did a sketch of the four figures, pouring water from one jug to another, and slipped it into the batch of sketches. The school liked it and she did a small prototype called a maquette for them to begin the process of fundraising. A donor, Gregorio Galicot, stepped up right away and funded the entire project. In her garage, Segal made the four figures out of a polyurethane foam, similar to what is used to build surfboards. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use a model, but simply drew on her knowledge of the human body from her years of Pilates instruction. The individual matriarchs ranged in size from 4 feet, 10 inches to 5 feet, 6 inches. The work was very physical and intense, as Segal had to sand down each layer, but she said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge amounts of fun.â&#x20AC;? The arms for the four forms she made of copper, annealing the metal over a flame to burn it to the color she wanted. She got help in working with the new and different materials from her significant other, Bill Maxfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved every step of it. I was just in heaven,â&#x20AC;? she said. The finished forms were then delivered to each artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home for the mosaic work. Each artist gave each woman their own seasonal spin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Segalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warm floral summer, Dorfanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winter with floating snowflakes, Shermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring with a crown of flowers on her head and Rattner Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall, with distinctly autumn leaves. Segal has collaborated with Price on several projects, including new benches of mosaic butterflies at Levanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden near â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Matriarchs.â&#x20AC;? Rattner Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall figure includes a butterfly delicately placed over the heart. Segal and Rattner Price have been tapped to do a mosaic revamp of the fountain at the Torrey Hills Shopping Center. Segal is very excited about the project and hopes to bring Dorfan on as a collaborator. Around Segalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art-filled house are examples of her work: She redid her fireplace in mosaic as well as her entire kitchen. More examples of her innovative art hang from the kitchen ceiling in light fixtures made of repurposed deepdish pizza pans, mosaic glass pieces and spoons. In her backyard, she did all of the decorative mosaic tile walls, the pool and the spa, and laid every single pebble one by one on the deck. Mosaic minstrels dance on the walls of her home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill always says if you stand still long enough, I will mosaic you,â&#x20AC;? Segal joked. Last year, she was commissioned to mosaic a 12-foot ocean-themed outdoor shower at a La Jolla home, creating an impressive wave out of bits of beachy pieces. The owners loved it so much they had her carry the mosaic work up the stairs, where she made a 5-foot-tall stingray. Then they asked to have a seagull. Feeling that the seagull was â&#x20AC;&#x153;lonely,â&#x20AC;? Segal is now working on two additional birds for the home. Completing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Matriarchsâ&#x20AC;? has stoked a new creative fire for Segal. Now all she wants to do is big and bigger projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want there to be a limit,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art makes you internally soar, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to do art. It makes you reach levels in your heart and soul that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know existed. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I have to do it.â&#x20AC;? To view more art, visit helensegal.com.
