RSF School District considers whether to modernize or rebuild school gym BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District is weighing the decision to modernize or rebuild its school gym, making room for additional courts, as well as space for wrestling and dance programs. At its Oct. 3 meeting, the board looked at a facilities needs assessment for the gym and the options available for the gym to be renovated or demolished with a new building in its place. While the current building can continue to operate under the code under which it was constructed, any revisions to the structure will trigger an accessibility upgrade for it to be in compliance with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). According to Debra Vaughn Clef, of Webb Cleff Architecture and Engineering, the total project cost for modernization would be about $8-10 million. Modernization is possible, but expensive, Vaughn-Cleff said — it comes with a lot of work. Structurally, the roof would need to be pulled back and beams reinforced, and the foundation would have to be made significantly larger. To comply with ADA, they would need to get proper See GYM, page 30

‘The Fab Fair’ selected as theme of 2014 SD County Fair
BY JOE TASH Members of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board unanimously approved “The Fab Fair” as the theme of the 2014 San Diego County Fair at their meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 8. The 22nd DAA board oversees the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds. Each year, the board selects a theme for the next year’s county fair. This year, the theme was “Game On,” and included displays and events related to different types of games. The 2014 theme will celebrate music and culture that came to the U.S. in the early ‘60s during the British Invasion, including the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks and the Who. The fair has secured two exhibits for the 2014 fair, acSee FAIR, page 28

BY KAREN BILLING Accessing the Rambla de las Flores fields is about to become a little bit smoother as the Rancho Santa Fe Association board Oct. 3 approved the installation of two asphalt approaches from the road into the RSF Sports Field and Richardson Field parking lots. Arnold Keene, field operations manager, said the current lot approaches are dirt and people have a hard time getting traction to pull out into traffic. “This will enhance safety quite a lot,” said board vice president Rochelle Putnam, noting that the lot is often used for event staging at the adjacent Rancho Riding Club and the new asphalt will make for a better ride for horse trailers. The asphalt “aprons” are part of a larger comprehensive project that includes new landscaping and trail improvements in the sports fields area. With the trail improvements, See FIELDS page 30
Proposed RSF Village Farmers Market to come back before RSF Association board RSF Association Assessment
BY KAREN BILLING The idea of a Rancho Santa Fe Village Farmers Market is expected to come back before the RSF Association board at a future meeting, possibly in October or November. According to board director Craig McAllister, the proposal for a weekly market on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. now has a possible new location on La Gracia, near The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Local resident Janet Lawless Christ, who has taken the lead on the market effort, has said that the market is a way to bring weekend business and activity for village merchants. In the past, reaction to a possible market has been mixed, with some village residents not wanting street closures and traffic on weekends. Some residents have also expressed concern about the need for a Farmers Market in the RSF Village as there are similar markets held in surrounding areas. The market was originally proposed on El Tordo, between Avenida de Acacias and La Granada.
rate stays the same for 2013-14 BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board voted Oct. 3 to keep the same assessment rates for Covenant homeowners for 2013-14. The assessment will remain at 14 cents per $100 of assessed valuation per the San Diego County Assessor’s roll. Of that 14 cents, 11.5 cents will be applied for general services and 2.5 cents will go toward the Community Enhancement Fund. The total valuation for all Covenant properties per the July 2013 edition of the San Diego County Assessor’s roll is $3,979 billion. This represents a 1.66 percent increase over last year’s assessed valuation.

The Buzz: RSF Patrol — Our deterrent to crime BY ANN BOON We all know that the RSF Covenant has its own armed, private security s e r v i c e Ann Boon known as the Patrol. To learn more about what exactly the Patrol does, I took some time last week to interview Chief Matt Wellhouser and to ride around the Covenant with one of his officers. First, a little history: Before 1976, the Covenant depended solely on a County Deputy from the Sheriff’s Department. Back in 1929, when the Covenant was first being settled, Edgar Cooper became the 21st Sheriff of San Diego County. Although the name of his County Deputy for the Covenant is lost in the archives, Sheriff Cooper is remembered most for forming the County’s first industrial road camp and the creation of a Juvenile Delinquency Division with the Sheriff’s Department. In 1976, when Mayor Pete Wilson was busy with plans to redevelop downtown San Diego, the Sheriff eliminated the position of the County Deputy which
had been responsible for law enforcement in the Covenant. Thus, the RSF Association sprang into action and created the RSF Patrol. The Patrol has grown in the number of officers and in the level of professionalism over the years. All the current officers have had previous careers in law enforcement. Located at 16936 El Fuego, the Patrol provides service 24/7 and is dispatched from a joint powers dispatch agency. The Patrol works very closely with the Sheriff’s Department and the California Highway Patrol (CHP.) Both the Sheriff and CHP use our office as a “storefront” office. “Our goal is to have high visibility and presence so as to act as a deterrent to disturbance and crime within the community,” Chief Matt Wellhouser told me. According to the Chief, the Patrol supplements the efforts of local law enforcement agencies in addition to providing specialized services to the membership. One of the most important services the Patrol offers to Association members is the Vacation Home Check. The Chief encourages all residents to request the Patrol to conduct a check of their home while they are away
on vacation. The request can be made online, or by calling the Patrol office at 858-759-8588. With these checks, the Patrol can notify you if doors or windows have been tampered with;, if you have a tree limb down; or even if you have a water leak! The Patrol receives thousands of calls in a year. Officers must be prepared for anything, from investigating a home break-in to harnessing a runaway horse. Animals seem to figure prominently in their calls. A lost pet turtle was rescued on the golf course; a loose goose was captured on San Elijo; and an alligator lizard was removed from a kitchen oven! I was so interested in participating in one of those calls that one afternoon I rode around with a member of the Patrol, Officer Eddie Jackson. Although Officer Jackson is new to our Patrol, he worked for over 30 years for the Sheriff’s Department. Officer Jackson reiterated the Chief’s main advice to residents: Always turn on your house alarm when you leave home. Luckily for the community, all was very quiet in the Covenant while I was riding with Officer Jackson. Nevertheless, it was fascinat-
ing to ride in the car; watch the computer; and listen to the dispatch on the radio. The Patrol can talk directly to other law enforcement on their radio channels. This is very unusual for private security personnel and reflects how highly our Patrol is regarded throughout the County. Later, I called Captain Robert Haley who is in charge of the Sheriff’s office in Encinitas to get his thoughts on our Patrol. Captain Haley said his “deputies work hand-in-hand with the Patrol officers. Because the Patrol officers all have prior experience as police officers, their tactics are in synch with ours.” Captain Haley emphasized, “Matt Wellhouser sets the tone and fosters the good working relationship. We really appreciate all he does.” Back at the Patrol office, I asked the Chief what is he most proud of after 33 years on the job. He responded, “Without a doubt, it is improving the professionalism of our operation and our relationship with area law enforcement agencies and personnel.” Chief Wellhouser wants the focus of the Patrol to be on crime prevention. The Sheriff’s office in Encini-
tas has the primary responsibility for law enforcement, while the CHP is responsible for traffic enforcement. With a strong presence in the community and good relationships with Association members, the Patrol can take a lot of credit for
the safety and security of our neighborhoods. For more information, you can go to the Patrol website: www.rsfpatrol. blogspot.com or call the office: 858-759-8588. In emergencies, call 858-756-4372 or 911.
RSF Association board may move to once-a-month meetings BY KAREN BILLING Due to recent light agendas, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board has requested staff look into the possibility of meeting just once per month rather than twice. RSF Association Assistant Manager Ivan Holler said even when agendas are light they require several hours of staff preparation the week before the meeting. Additionally, several staff members attend each meeting so reducing the frequency of meetings to once a month would save about 20 hours of staff time. Historically, the Association board has modified its meeting times over the years. Holler pointed out an interesting change that occurred in 1943 when the board switched to once a month due to gasoline rationing and the need to conserve tires and rubber. Currently, the bylaws specify date and time, and due to the last revision of bylaws being decided by a community-wide vote, any subsequent revisions also must be voted on by members. To change the meeting dates would also require a community mailing and public hearing before the ballot was mailed for a 30-day voting period. The board directed staff to look at ways to give the board the flexibility to hold one meeting a month with the option of a second as needed without having to go to a community-wide vote.

Man selling suits from car told to leave RSF CERT training classes A man was recently directed to leave Rancho Santa Fe after trying to sell people in the RSF Village alleged Armani suits out of the back of his car, according to RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser. Wellhouser said RSF Association board member Larry Spitcaufsky initially reported the incident to the Patrol. Spitcaufsky told Wellhouser that a man asked him for directions in the parking lot near the RSF Post Office. When Spitcaufsky gave him directions the man, who had a “phony-sounding accent,” reportedly offered to sell him an Armani suit
RSF man arrested on federal charges On Tuesday, Oct. 1, RSF resident Michael Lustig (above), 70, was arrested without incident by the San Diego Sheriff’s Department and FBI. Lustig was identified by two minor females (ages 12 and 13) as a subject who solicited and used them for prostitution. Lustig was subsequently arrested on federal charges: “Sex Trafficking of a Minor.” It is believed Lustig has victimized other women and minors. Any female who has been a victim of Lustig, whether financial compensation was received or not, is considered a victim. Those individuals are requested to contact the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, Deputy Chiappino at 760-806-9287 with information. — Encinitas Sheriff’s Department
out of the back of his car at a very low price. Spitcaufsky declined and later called the Patrol to report the incident. Wellhouser said he then received a call from another local resident who reported a similar incident but, in this case, the caller said they were ashamed to admit that they did buy the suit. On the afternoon of Oct. 4, Wellhouser said the Patrol received a radio call saying that the man selling the Armani suits had been spotted in the 6100 block of El Tordo. The Patrol and Sheriff’s department sent personnel to speak to the man, who said he was from Milan, Italy. The man, who was driving a silver Ford Edge, said he had bought the suits in Los Angeles for $50 each and was selling them in the RSF area for $200-$300 each. The officers informed the man he had to have a license and permit to sell out of his car and told him to leave the area, Wellhouser said. Wellhouser issued a warning, saying it is not wise to buy anything from a stranger selling a deal — especially from the back of
their car. Wellhouser said the Sheriff’s Department has also reported several incidents where people have bought a TV or stereo equipment from vans in a parking lot at a supposed deal and found out — too late — that the equipment inside the box is just a shell. “As the adage says, when something seems too good to be true it usually is,” said Wellhouser, who added that people should also be wary of buying anything from door-to-door sellers. To report any suspicious activity, contact the RSF Patrol at 858-759-8588. — Staff report

Local woman killed in private jet crash BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The Los Angeles County coroner’s office Oct. 4 identified two more of the four people killed in a private jet crash at Santa Monica Airport. Earlier, the coroner’s office released the name of 28-year-old Lauren Winkler as one of the victims. The office now has identified Mark Benjamin, a 63-year-old Malibu resident, and 53-year-old San Diego resident Kyla Dupont as two more crash victims, coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter said. The twin-engine Cessna Citation 525A, which took off in Hailey, Idaho, slammed into a hangar after veering off the runway about 6:20 p.m. Sept. 29 as it landed, causing the structure to collapse and sparking an explosive fire that spread to two other hangars. Benjamin, president of Santa Monica-based Morley Builders, was believed to have been at the controls. According to the company, Benjamin’s 28-year-old son Luke also died in the crash, See CRASH, page 30

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Q&A with New York Times best-selling author Christopher Reich BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Despite his multi-New York Times best-seller status and the pressures that entails, local resident Christopher Reich makes time for his kids, his community, and to give back to the writing community at large. A fitness enthusiast, when not writing Reich likes to hit the gym, spin, and get to the mountains for some serious climbing. First on his bucket list is to compete in The Amazing Race with his daughter, Katja, when she turns 18. Reich’s new novel, “The Prince of Risk,” will be available in stores Dec. 3 , and Reich will be a keynote speaker and teach at the La Jolla Writers Conference Nov.1-3. For more information, visit www.christopherreich. com. We recently had the opportunity to ask Chris Reich some questions about his writing process and how he got to be the success he is today. 1. What in your background prepared you to be a writer? And when did you know you wanted to write? I never had any specific training to become a novelist. I did not take any English classes in college. In fact, I’d never even written a short story before deciding to quit my job running a Swiss watch company to write “Numbered Account,” my first novel. Having said that, I knew that I was a gifted writer. I had always received glowing remarks on my college papers and as an investment banker, I was the person chosen to write the “deal memos” – massive tomes summarizing businesses being bought or sold. 2. You had a burgeoning business career. What was the catalyst that made you chuck it all and write? At the age of 29, I founded and ran a watch company in Switzerland called “Giorgio Beverly Hills Timepieces.” After five years, I’d done my best to build it up. My relationship with my financiers was not great. It just felt like time to move on. At some point, I’d gotten the idea that I could write novels for a living. I was recently married. I had some money in the bank. I said “Why the heck not?” Credit also goes to my wife who said, “I know you can do this.” Writers need confidence like humans need air!! 3. Writers often receive push-back from their families.
How did those closest to you react when you said you wanted to write? As I said, my wife was all for it. She wanted to
move to a warmer climate and we had chosen Austin, Texas as our new home. My parents were skeptical, but supportive. I do remember some of my good friends having a laugh at my expense. I mean, come on… how many people actually make it writing novels full time? 4. A lot of writers keep their day jobs and write second shift. Why didn’t you do so? I knew that to do a good job, it was all or nothing. I had some savings. I decided to go “all in.” 5. You started with financial thrillers. Why this genre, and how did your first book do? “Write what you know.” I spent years working in a Swiss bank in Zurich. It seemed like a no brainer that this is where I’d set my first book. “Numbered Account” was a giant success. New York Times best seller, published in over 20 countries...it doesn’t get any better. I still pinch myself! 6. Besides the money, what is the primary difference between being a NY Times best-selling author
and an aspiring author? I think the difference is that I write for a living… meaning I have to create well-written, commercially appealing stories within a set time period that will bring me a paycheck to support my family. There is no room for writer’s block or waiting for inspiration. I don’t have a backstop. Of course, there’s also the matter of respect within the industry, winning awards, and being a proven commodity. All are very nice. But you know…it never gets easier to come up with a solid story. Never. 7. Character driven, plot driven. How would you describe your writing? And which makes for a better book? You need both to make a great book. Look at “Gone Girl.” Great plot. Great characters. I think my books are primarily plot driven. They’re thrillers…so by definition the plot is everything. The hard part is bringing the characters to life so that their personal predicaments are as compelling as whether the plane will crash or the bomb will go off or the president will
be assassinated! 8. How has publishing and being an author evolved since your first book? Big question. The industry has changed tremendously. Far fewer publishers. Far fewer bookstores. Ebooks! Paperback sales have fallen off the cliff. But you still need to write a good story! 9. Tell us a bit about your new book, out in December. “The Prince of Risk” centers on a wealthy, flamboyant New York hedge fund supremo who, while investigating the murder of his father, the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange and the chairman of the Federal Reserve, uncovers a plot to bring down the U.S. financial markets…and must risk his entire fortune to stop it. 10. What is the best bit of advice you have for new and aspiring authors? Apply back of pants to seat of chair.

RSF teen to hold benefit concert to raise money for adoptions BY KRISTINA HOUCK Laura-Valentine Lock was adopted as a baby from China. Now, the Rancho Santa Fe teen is helping other children find loving homes. “Whenever I think of kids without families in other countries or in our country, I just want them to be adopted into an amazing home like I was,” said 17-year-old LauraValentine. “That’s why I want to do this.” To help support the adoptions of three young boys with Down syndrome, Laura-Valentine will perform songs from her first album, “My Sweet Home,” on Oct. 18 at Santa Fe Christian School in Solana Beach. Money raised at the event will help the Francisco family in Oceanside adopt Noah, a toddler from Eastern Europe. The couple has four children of their own, including Andrew, a 6-year-old who also has Down syndrome. Funds will also help the Butlers in Virginia adopt Wilson from the Ukraine, and the Sellers in New Mexico adopt Endale from Ethopia. “These families are heroes to me,” Laura-Valentine said. “They’re going all the way over there to bring these kids back.” Laura-Valentine was adopted when she was three months old in China after being abandoned by her birth mother. Her adoptive parents, Ken Lock and Susan Sharpe, planned to adopt a baby girl named Feng LiLi when the baby went missing from the orphanage. “I was blessed to be the second one picked,” Laura-Valentine said. “Adoption is such a blessing to the children. And my mom always says that it’s really a blessing to her — that she’s the lucky one for adopting me — so it’s also a blessing for the parents.” In memory of the baby they never knew, Laura-Valentine’s parents started the Feng LiLi Foundation to help find homes for abandoned children around the world. Sharpe said the organization has financially assisted adoptions of more than 100 children so far. “A lot of people think that adoption is a last option when you’re unable to have your own children,” said Sharpe, who has an 18-year-old-biological son, James. “Adoption can be your first option. It’s been wonderful. She has changed our family dynamic.” Laura-Valentine’s own adoption, as well as mission trips to orphanages in Uganda, France, India and Mexico, inspired her to help other families adopt children. She raised donations to support the adoption of a young Ugandan girl during her Sweet 16 birthday and album release party in March 2012. Since then, Laura-Valentine has raised more than $30,000 to help with the adoption costs of seven children. She has also launched her own nonprofit organization, Laura-Valentine Ministries, to support the adoption of children around the world. “If I wasn’t adopted, I would be just like those kids,” Laura-Valentine said. “They’re all such wonderful people. They need to grow up in loving homes, too.” The concert begins at 7 p.m. on Oct. 18 at Santa Fe

The event will also feature a raffle for a rescue puppy. Tickets cost $10 per person or $40 per family at the door. Raffle tickets cost $10 or $50 for six tickets. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and we’re going to be helping kids. Who doesn’t want to help kids?” LauraValentine said. “Our community needs to know that by helping out, they are saving three wonderful children and giving them an opportunity to be adopted into a home and to be loved.” For more information, visit laura-valentine.com.
What’s the place in Carmel Valley?
You know, the one place that everyone agrees is where the style, the scene, the civic pride is. Where’s our Cedros, Del Mar Village or Little Italy? If nothing special comes to mind, perhaps it should. Maybe it’s time for Carmel Valley to have a place as significant, as sophisticated, as engaging as the community itself. If you agree, it’s time to seize the opportunity – to create a signature destination for all of Carmel Valley.

‘Going to the Dogs’ photography exhibit by Terrance Goan now at RSF Library A photography exhibit is on display at the Rancho Santa Fe Library, now through the end of November. The show is titled “Going to the Dogs” by artist/photographer Terrance Goan Some of these dogs may seem familiar if you walk the Rancho Santa Fe trails or go to the Del Mar Dog Beach. Goan takes his white German Shepherd Tashi for daily walks. Many of dog photographs displayed in the exhibit have been featured in “Brown Trout” dog calendars, sold in most pet stores. Dogs are just one facet of Goan’s photography. Last year he had a show at the library featuring some of his other types of photography, including weddings and children’s portraits. As with his photos of dogs, Goan prefers to shoot people and dogs in a natural setting engaged with others rather than posing for the camera.

Popular Pacific Bach Project returns to RSF for concert Oct. 20 After their sold-out debut performance last season, the dynamic new period instrument orchestra and chorus of the Pacific Bach Project will perform in Rancho Santa Fe on Sunday, Oct. 20, at 5 p.m. at the Village Prebyterian Church (6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067). The Pacific Bach Project presents “A Mighty Fortress: Music for Reformation Day, the Feast of St. Michael, and More,” featuring festive music from a wide range of cantatas Bach composed for Sundays during September and October, including BWV’s 130, 19, 79, 80, 51 and 50. The Pacific Bach Project performs on period instruments, with commentary and English super-titles that make it easy for everyone to appreciate this extraordinary music. A new feature of the Pacific Bach Project is an educational outreach to high school and college choirs in this area – and for this performance, the gifted singers of the Canyon Crest Academy Choir will be the ensemble’s special guests, along with students from the San Diego State University choral program. The young people will perform alongside the professional vocalists in the final work on the program, Bach’s only double chorus cantata. Tickets $25-$75 at pacificbach.com or call 800-838-3006.
BY ARTHUR LIPPER Martin Cooper, a longtime local resident and the inventor of the cell phone, recently received the Marconi Society 2013 Prize for Creativity and Social Contribution. The Marconi Prize was awarded at a gala dinner in the 17th century Palazzo Albergati, one of Bologna, Italy’s showplaces, with more than 220 Italian luminaries, academics, business leaders and wireless industry executives from all over the world in attendance. In accepting this prestigious prize Cooper said, “In the future wireless communication will permit the professional analysis of continuing personal health data which will allow diseases to be preventable, rather than just predictable.” Aside from delivering several talks at the three-day Marconi Institute for Creativity event, culminating in the award of the Marconi Prize, Cooper was pleased to be able to sit at Guglielmo Marconi’s work table desk in the Marconi Museum, where Marconi first conceived and performed his early wireless communication experiments. Vinton Cerf, the vice chairman of the Marconi Society, a Marconi Fellow and Google VP and Chief Internet Evangelist, said, “Today, what Marty foresaw seems pretty elementary, but the idea of making telecommunications person-centric, instead of tied to a particular place — or car, home or telephone booth — caused a tectonic shift in the industry.” “Smartphones are like Marty’s original phone’s grandchildren,” Vint Cerf noted in his introduction of Martin Cooper before presenting the Marconi Prize. SanDiego-area Marconi Society Fellows similarly honored previously include: Irwin Jacobs, Andrew Viterbi, the late Jack Kent Wolf, as well as a number of nonlocal Fellows well known for their contributions to society through invention and innovation in the fields of communication, of course, including the Internet.

Accomplished Pfizer executive director focused on the development of diagnostic tests BY JOE TASH Increasingly, medical science is moving toward the use of “precision medicines” that target disease based on its molecular or genetic characteristics. “The more we understand the disease and how it works, the better we can target it and the better we can treat it. That’s what precision medicine is all about,” said Hakan Sakul, executive director and head of diagnostics with the research and development arm of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, Inc. Sakul, 51, is based in Pfizer’s La Jolla offices. Recently, he gave a presentation about precision medicines and the diagnostic tests that are developed to work with them to the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club. Sakul is a native of Turkey, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He moved to the United States after receiving a scholarship from the Rotary Foundation. He earned his doctorate in quantitative genetics from the University of Minnesota. He’s been with Pfizer for 14 years and, in his current role, he helps develop the diagnostic tests used to identify patients who carry the genetic markers, which makes them good candidates for new precision medicines. One recent example is Xalkori, a drug developed by Pfizer to treat patients with non-small cell (NSC) lung cancer. Some 85 percent of lung cancer patients have the NSC type of disease, and of those a small group, perhaps 5 percent, have a gene called ALK. In those patients, their cancer is triggered when two genes fuse together and produce an abnormal protein. “Now we’ve got cancer,” Sakul said. “Our drug stops the production of this protein.” The drug actually docks onto the ALK gene, said Sakul, blocking it from producing the cancer-causing protein. Xalkori was approved in August 2011 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and has now been approved for use in 60 countries. Sakul worked with a partner company to create a diagnostic test that identifies patients who would benefit from the treatment. The test was first used to identify patients for
Hakan Sakul clinical trials of Xalkori, and was approved by the FDA on the same day as the drug. Other drug companies are also working on medications that target subgroups of people with diseases such as lung cancer, said Sakul. At Pfizer, precision medicines are a major focus in the research and development area. At an annual Pfizer shareholders meeting in 2011, company CEO Ian C. Read said, “We expect that in five years many of our late-stage clinical trial starts will reflect a precision medicine R&D approach.” Xalkori is not a cure, but it does shrink patients’ tumors, reducing symptoms and extending their lives. “What is amazing is how
vances must track the pace of scientific discovery. “We can’t control the speed of science,” he said. After earning his doctorate, Sakul worked for a biotech company in San Diego. Later, his career took him to San Francisco, Boston, Connecticut and Idaho. He jumped at the chance to transfer back to San Diego five years ago. Sakul and his wife, Karin, have three children: Benjamin, 18, Melissa, 14, and Ryan, 11. When he’s not focusing on developing new diagnostic tests to work with precision medicine treatments, he enjoys bicycling (riding regularly to work), along with playing soccer and stand-up paddle boarding. He also travels extensively for his job, and visits friends and relatives in Turkey when he can.
quickly it does this in these patients,” Sakul said. At present, much of the focus in precision medicine is in the area of cancer treatment, where scientists have made much progress in identifying subgroups of patients with various forms of cancer. In his Rotary presentation, Sakul noted that scientists have currently identified 38 types of leukemia and 51 types of lymphoma. As recently as the 1950s, only three varieties of leukemia and two types of lymphoma had been delineated by researchers. Five-year survival rates for the two cancers combined have risen from zero in the early 1900s to 70 percent today. As science makes similar progress in other areas, such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and schizophrenia, drug companies can work to develop targeted drugs for subgroups of patients. But the drug-makers’ ad-

Holiday event with Ann Romney to raise money for breast cancer and vision research BY KRISTINA HOUCK As a three-time breast cancer survivor and mother of a son with a vision disorder, Vivian Hardage is passionate about medical research. Headed by Hardage, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, the Vision of Children Foundation is hosting “Vision of Success,” a holiday high tea on Dec. 9 at The Grand Del Mar. The event will raise funds to support breast cancer and vision research. Ann Romney, a breast cancer survivor and health advocate, will speak about the critical need for medical research. “I felt like because of my passion for vision research, I couldn’t do a breast cancer fundraiser without doing one for vision, and I couldn’t do one for vision without feeling like I needed to do something for breast cancer,” Hardage said. “It’s all under the umbrella of the importance of medical research. Without medical research, there would be no cure for any disease, and there are so many things out there that are devastating for families like mine.” After they learned their son had ocular albinism, a genetic vision disorder, Hardage and her husband established the Vision of Children Foundation, which aims to cure hereditary childhood blindness and vision disorders, and to improve the quality of life of visually impaired individuals and their families. Although Hardage remains focused on finding a cure for vision disorders, she is now also passionate about finding a cure for breast cancer. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994 and later diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer, in 2010. After multiple surgeries and rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, the cancer returned. October marks 11 months that Hardage has been in remission. “Anyone who has been through breast cancer shares a great concern for curing the disease,” said Hardage, whose
Ann Romney son, Chase, is now a 24-year-old college graduate. “Once you’ve had it, it really never totally leaves the back of your mind.” Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the National Cancer Institute, experts estimate that about one out of every eight women born today will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some time during her life. “It’s so important to me that women learn there are many different types of

breast cancer,” Hardage said. “They need to learn what resources are available here in our community.” In addition to Romney’s speech, the holiday event will feature a live auction, opportunity drawing and informal modeling. Funds raised at the event will benefit the Vision of Children Foundation and the American Cancer Society to support local breast cancer and vision research. “There are a number of scientists and researchers here working on this problem right now,” Hardage said. “It was important for us that the money raised here stays here because we do have such great resources already working on potential cures.” Vision of Success begins at 2 p.m. on Dec. 9 at The Grand Del Mar’s ballroom.

Local production company to hold auditions for dating show All Fore the Community Golf BY KRISTINA HOUCK A Carmel Valley company is producing a dating show that won’t be like other dating programs. In addition to casting local contestants and filming in San Diego, men and women on “The Romance� won’t live in a mansion, fly to Bora Bora and propose by the end of the season. “Real life is trying to find that special someone and date while you’re living the rest of your life,� said creator, executive producer and host Ken Gora, who heads production company Branded Entertainment. “It seems very unreal that cameras are following you everywhere in a mansion and you’re going on these dream dates and you’re laying by the swimming pool every day. Gee, I could fall in love with a grizzly bear in those circumstances.� In six, 30-minute episodes, “The Romance� will follow six men and 16 women on a variety of dates. Ranging in age from 24 to 44, all of the contestants won’t look like models, Gora said. “The reason why San Diego will tune into this program is because we think following men and women who live in the city — that [viewers] may have worked with or may run into at Starbucks — has a more local appeal to them than watching women from Nashville, Dallas and Washington, D.C. trying to meet one man,� said Gora, a Carmel Valley resident. Although the show is intended to entertain audiences and help contestants find love and romance, it’s also to bring new customers and revenue to some of San Diego’s local businesses. With a doctorate in psychology and a background in recruitment, Gora launched his first local reality TV show, “So You Think You Can Sell,� in February. The show, which he described as a cross between “American Idol� and “The Apprentice,� featured local companies to help support small businesses and stimulate the local economy. “The Romance� will also feature more than 40 local businesses, restaurants and venues, including Sbicca in Del Mar, Mia Francesca in Carmel Valley, Kuki Squared in Ran-

San Diego Grantmakers Annual Conference set for Oct. 30 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Dozens of philanthropists will gather to learn how they can better their community during the San Diego Grantmakers Annual Conference on Oct. 30 at the new San Diego Central Library. This year’s conference theme, “Building Philanthropy: Reaching New Heights,� focuses on teaching grantmakers how to increase the impact of their giving. “It’s about pushing your philanthropy to be as effective as possible so you can make as strong an impact in your giving area as possible,� said Del Mar resident Nancy Jamison, executive director of San Diego Grantmakers, a membership association for philanthropic organizations like foundations and corporate giving programs. Founded in 1976 and established as a nonprofit in 1999, San Diego Grantmakers aims to connect and educate philanthropists through conferences, workshops, quarterly newsletters and other communications. The Annual Conference is the organization’s biggest event of the year, attracting roughly 150 attendees, Jamison said. Grant Oliphant, president and CEO of The Pittsburgh Foundation, will open the conference and Akaya Wind-
ries.
Last year’s conference.Courtesy photo wood, president of Rockwood Leadership Institute, will close the conference. Attendees can choose from one of six breakout sessions in the morning, covering a variety of topics from civic engagement to structural racism. Attendees will then listen to a series of quick, intimate presentations called PhilChats,� which is inspired by the popular TEDTalks se-
“There’s a tremendous amount of energy and a tremendous opportunity for learning from both the speakers and from each other,� Jamison said. “It’s good for San Diego because the more effective the philanthropists are and the philanthropic organizations are, the more effective their giving to nonprofits is.� The conference takes place 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 30 at Central Library in downtown San Diego. Registration costs $175 for members of San Diego Grantmakers and $200 for non-members. Space is limited. “It’s a really cool day in a venue that is an exciting new structure in San Diego,� Jamison said. “More than anything else, you get to network with thoughtful, strategic philanthropists and hear some of the leaders in philanthropy from across the country share their thoughts and wisdom about how to make the most of our philanthropic dollars in San Diego.� For more information and to register, visit www.sdgrantmakers.org.

Local designer still thriving in career that included Nixon’s ‘Western White House’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK Local resident Arline “A.J.” Genis was a fly on the wall during the filming of David Frost’s interviews with former President Richard Nixon in 1977. She and her business partner designed the set for the widely televised interviews, where Nixon apologized to the American people for the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. “This is the true story of what really happened when British journalist David Frost bullied a TV confession out of the disgraced ex-president Nixon,” said 80-year-old Genis. “I was the fly on the wall.” Television crews couldn’t shoot in Nixon’s “Western White House” in San Clemente because Coast Guard transmitters interfered with the television equipment. Therefore, Genis, then 43, and her business partner, Sandy Blake, created the set in a Laguna Beach home owned by a Nixon supporter. The pair visited Nixon’s home to prepare for the project. Genis said the house included small offices for his aides that were empty. “It was very weird because half of the people noted on those offices had gone to jail,” she said. The designers didn’t use any of Nixon’s furniture, but he had to clear every item on set, Genis said. They had to build two chairs because Nixon had phlebitis and his legs had to be elevated. But the biggest technical issue, Genis said, were the bookcases. They had to handpick every book in camera range. “We stripped it — a huge mansion up on the hill — and we recreated his office,” she said. Genis said she and her partner were first contacted on Jan. 23 and the first of 12 interviews took place two months later on March 23, 1977. The interviews aired in four parts during 1977, with the first on May 4, attracting 45 million viewers. The episode still holds the record high for an audience for a political program. “It was an honor to work for the president — even an ex-president in disgrace,” Genis said. “I happened to have thought he was a man who was brilliant who just shot himself in the foot. He was brilliant, and I spent 31 days with him learning about his brilliance.” Even when the set was designed, Genis and her partner
Arline “A.J.” Genis Photo/Kristina Houck stayed on set to fluff the pillows and make sure everything looked perfect for the cameras. She interacted with Nixon only once, when he asked her for a piece of sugarless chewing gum. At the time, it was sweetened with saccharine, which was suspected of causing cancer. “He joked, “I’d rather die of saccharine then senility,’” she said. Nixon earned $600,000 for the interviews, which became the subject of the play “Frost/Nixon” and was later made into the 2008 film of the same name. “It’s followed me around for 35 years because it was a Broadway play and then a Ron Howard movie,” Genis said. “But it’s certainly only a snippet of my life. I don’t want to be defined by one thing.” Genis learned about the job because her special effects cinematographer husband, Daniel, was working on the 1968
television series “Julia,” which stared actress Diahann Carroll. Genis became friends with Carroll, who was engaged to Frost at the time. Genis has always had connections in Hollywood. Born in New York, Genis grew up a self-proclaimed “show business brat.” Her father was the road manager in the Big Band era for Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. “I never lived in a house until I was married to my first husband. Only hotels,” Genis said. “So I had a very peculiar upbringing. The only place I get a good night’s rest is in a hotel.” Genis married her first husband at 18 years old, had two children, and was divorced at 21. Although she said she couldn’t act, sing or dance, her father said she should become an actress to earn money for her family. “He said, ‘Don’t worry about it. We’ll shoot you from the neck up.’ And that’s what he did.” She appeared in a number of television shows, including “Leave it to Beaver” and “The Lone Ranger,” and worked alongside actors like Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando in feature films. All were “bit parts,” Genis said. “Anything 10 lines and under they trusted me with,” said Genis, who was also a stand-in for actresses like Elizabeth Taylor and Joanne Woodward. “I was a bad dancer and a lousy actress, but they loved me because I was honest.” Genis was 27 when her mother decided she was “too old to be an ingénue.” Therefore, she ventured into the design business with her mother, whose Woodland Hills business, “Louise Studios,” had celebrity clientele. She opened her own business, Designer Circle, when her mother retired two years later. “My career as an actress wasn’t notable; but along the way, I picked up people who became my clients when I became a designer,” Genis said. “My wealth is in the friendships I made. Without them, I’m nothing.” It was roughly that time when Genis married her current husband of nearly 55 years and the couple had twin sons. Her husband Daniel, whose special effects portfolio includes the laser sword sequences in the first “Star Wars” film, currently works as a consultant to people in the film

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
R. Roger Rowe School – Where the ordinary becomes the extraordinary BY RSF EDUCATION FOUNDATION Schools across the country are challenged with a major transition to the new Common Core State Standards this year. In a letter to parents Superintendent Lindy Delaney wrote, “These standards reflect a high level of rigor, focus and coherence. They are a substantial step up from the 1997 California State Content Standards.” Many schools must take already strapped resources to transition to the new standards. At R. Roger Rowe School (Ranch School) we are fortunate that we are not an ordinary school. We were able to add teachers and programs this year that will enhance our children’s education and help ease the transition. This is largely due to a generous grant from the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation (RSFEF). Grant increased to $1.1 million This year the RSFEF increased its pledge to the Ranch School to $1.1 million, up from the $1 million the RSFEF has contributed to the school the previous three years. This allows Superintendent Delaney to continue to offer small class sizes, specialized teachers, and special programs such as Art, Music, Computers, Robotics, Drama and Athletics. “What the Education Foundation does most of all is allow students to have more touch points with the teacher every day,” remarked Superintendent Delaney. This year the grant enables Ms. Delaney to enhance an already strong curriculum by doubling the time students spend in differentiated math classes (Math Plus), adding advanced math classes in grades 3-5, adding new teachers, such as two new literacy support teachers, expanding our Kind to the Core Program (which encompasses community service learning and acts of kindness activities), and purchasing additional technology so that students have more access to 21st century learning.
Lynn Frank, chair of the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation (RSFEF) noted, “The goal of the Foundation is to continue to enhance, encourage and support through financial assistance, as well as, volunteer participation, the Rancho Santa Fe School District, its administration, its faculty and its programs. I strongly believe that a Five-Star Education is where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.” Building 21st Century leaders The RSFEF’s Five-Star Education program for 2013/2014 includes: •Small class size – average of 18 students; •Specialized teachers – for Art, Athletics, Drama, Math, Music, Science, Spanish & Technology; •Literacy Excellence –
Grant given to help incarcerated female service members learn skills to be successful at work and in life Leap to Success recently announced the receipt of an $18,500 Grant Award from the San Diego Gas and Electric “Helping People In Need Initiative.” On Sept. 11, Leap to Confidence, a pilot program for the Naval Consolidated Brig Miramar female service members, was launched and will be funded by this grant award. The Leap to Confidence training class will meet the needs that female service members have for improving their attitudes, beliefs and communication skills so they can be productive during their incarceration and upon their release. By increasing confidence, developing new ways to think and communicate, and learning public speaking skills (which are known to be one of most people’s greatest fears), the women will be able to share their experience and skills with potential employers. They will perform better during job interviews and in the workplace. In their personal relationships, they will be able to more positively and successfully speak for themselves and their children’s needs. Michelle V. Davis, reentry coordinator, Naval Consolidated Brig Miramar states “The women confined at NCBM will benefit from your Leap to Confidence course because many of them committed their crimes during a time of low self-esteem. Learning confidence- building tools that they can use when they reenter society will help them be-
come better mothers, daughters, employees, and citizens. The Leap to Confidence course will complement the treatment they are currently receiving.” Leap to Success has provided Women’s Empowerment special events to the Naval Consolidated Brig Miramar over the past four years. Instructors have taught lifechanging tools and skills, and graduates have shared their personal stories of rebuilding their lives from domestic violence, homelessness, incarceration, addiction and other tough challenges. “Many of the women at the Brig are victims of sexual assault and domestic abuse who have fled their homes and joined the military to serve our country. Leap to Success has offered this program very successfully to over 200 nonincarcerated domestic violence survivors and homeless women. We believe it will be equally beneficial to a group of incarcerated women. This pilot program will provide the opportunity to test that theory,” states Dana Bristol-Smith, executive director. The program will provide six-weekly sessions and three monthly follow up classes by highly experienced trainers and coaches. Skill building sessions will help the women restore their hope and be equipped to secure employment for a better life upon their release.

Children at the Ranch School are learning to be responsible 21st century leaders every day. “Because our school is the only school in the dis-
trict, every dollar contributed goes to our school and benefits our children directly,” added Mrs. Frank. The RSFEF relies heavily on contributions from the community and families and prides itself on spending very little money on expenses. Of the $1,140,000 we raise, only $40,000 is expenses. 96 percent of funds provide for teacher salaries, and 4 percent is for enrichment activities, including: Red Ribbon Week, Science programs (such as Science Discovery Day, Oceans Week, the Tech 21 Lab and enhanced Robotics programs), materials & equipment (for Art, Music, Technology, Drama & Athletics), Field Day, Kind to the Core Community Service Learning Program, and other opportunities. Where your passion for the school meets your ability to give The RSFEF is asking that each family contribute their “Fair Share” cost per child of $1,709 ($1,140,000 divided by 667 students). This year the Cap & Gown level is $2,000 per student and the Benefactor level is $3,000 per student. The Foundation
also relies heavily on the philanthropic contributions of the Scholars’ Circle. This group comprises 20 percent of the school’s families and local businesses who make multi-year commitments of $35,000 or more that fund 50 percent of the total grant to the school. Through Red Envelope Friday, the RSFEF has $662,555 cash in the door with 55 percent participation. “We still have a long way to go to meet our grant obligation,” Mrs. Frank noted. “We rely on contributions of all sizes. We ask that you give at the level where your passion for our school meets your ability to give.” Help us retain this extraordinary Five-Star Education Please contribute to the RSFEF today. We encourage all school families to participate. Community and corporate donations are also encouraged.

Rancho Money well spent? Santa Fe Review
BY MARSHA SUTTON After t h r e e months and $3.2 million of PropoMarsha Sutton sition AA taxpayer money, Canyon Crest Academy has a field to rival the Chargers’. Well, maybe not quite. But to my untrained eye, it looks beyond beautiful, almost too perfect to set foot on. Jaw-droppingly gorgeous, really. Before I focus on the outrageousness of spending millions of dollars on a field, when there are so many academic needs the money could have been used for, let’s give the San Dieguito Union High School District credit for being fiscally responsible. The project was estimated to cost $3.9 million, but has come in well below that amount – $600,000 to $700,000 under budget so far. That’s impressive. Now the dark side. The district still spent well more than $3 million on a playing field. When asked why focus on a school that’s new, Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, responds that the district is finally completing the original project that started 10 years ago when the school was built. What was left undone, Dill said, were the fields. And now with the passage of Prop. AA and $449 million in bond money, the district can use a chunk of it to bring its newest school up to parity with the district’s other high schools. This line of thinking assumes that all schools need to be the same, when there is great merit in schools that specialize in unique ways that set them apart from one another. This attracts a certain kind of student whose interests mesh with the school’s priorities. Distinction and differentiation, rather than standardization and conformity, define a culture for a school that makes it special. The foundational values of CCA originally concentrated on academics of course, but with an arts and technology focus. Athletics initially took a back seat to the school’s main charter. Yet CCA’s mantra is: “academics, athletics and the arts.” I love the alliteration but is there no room for science and technology in
there when that was part of the original vision? CCA students are featured regularly in this newspaper for their incredible technological accomplishments. To ignore this facet of the school’s special focus seems a mystifying oversight. CCA senior Eric Chen was just named the grand prize winner of the acclaimed international Google Science Fair for developing new treatments to fight influenza. Although this is arguably the crowning achievement so far for CCA’s student body, it’s not the only one. Kids there do astonishing work in nonathletic pursuits. According to district officials, the new all-weather track and artificial turf field will serve just one-third of the student population at CCA, for kids in after-school soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, and track and field. It will also be used for regular physical education. The money from Prop. AA cannot be used for teachers or salaries and is only for facilities, materials and equipment longer-lasting than items with short life spans like Chromebooks or iPads. But surely there are other, better uses for millions of dollars that meet the bond’s legal restrictions. Worse yet, the money spent to build the track and field is only a small portion of the Prop. AA budget allotted to CCA for sports-related expenditures. The overall budget for the outdoor athletic area at CCA is a staggering $20 million. Now that this phase is complete, the next phase is to build a concession and restroom building and bleachers to accommodate 3,000 spectators. This project is expected to be completed in mid-2015 and will cost $3.5 million. After that, according to Dill, the remaining $12.6 million in the $20 million budget will go toward construction of a varsity softball field, a varsity baseball field, grading of 30 acres of natural turf fields, and the new middle school track and grass field adjacent to CCA. Decrepit portable classrooms Two weeks ago, Dill led school board members and others on a tour of CCA’s new fields, the land next to CCA designated for the district’s fifth middle school, and to Torrey Pines High

MONEY continued from page 26 School to view the site where new science buildings will be built by December 2016. Spending bond money to build new classrooms and science labs is a wonderful use of taxpayer dollars, and Torrey Pines certainly deserves the latest in facilities and equipment to advance scientific study and learning at the school. But when you tour Torrey Pines and see how beautiful the football field is compared to the decrepit portable classrooms, old carpet, peeling paint, lack of air conditioning, inadequate wireless access, and other facility deficiencies related to the academic environment, one has to wonder what the priorities have been over the years. I like physical exercise as much as anyone and certainly see the benefits for kids. But money for education is scarce and should be applied more judiciously when kids can do their sports outside of school in clubs or other independent, organized programs. When counselors are responsible for 450 to 500 students each and classes are stuffed with nearly 50 kids, spending $20 million on
fields and bleachers borders on disgraceful. There’s no shortage of better alternatives. How about modernizing supplies and equipment for chemistry and biology labs? Field trips to symphonies and museums? A machine shop for physics and robotics? Seminars or one-day programs in technology or the arts? Outside professionals to help seniors with college applications? How many more Eric Chens could the school produce, how many more international robotics champions could CCA claim, and how much scientific innovation could CCA trumpet, if $20 million were allocated to science and technology? For that kind of dough, the district could create a school that would make scientists at Torrey Pines’ Science Park salivate. Praise for the district’s due diligence Despite all my grumbling about the upsidedown focus on athletics as a priority, I can’t argue about the district’s level of due diligence with the bond money. Dan McAllister, San Diego County treasurer and tax collector, praised San Dieguito for devoting years of research and facility planning before placing the

bond on the ballot and for the detailed information provided to voters that fully specified how the money would be allocated. McAllister also applauded San Dieguito’s willingness to adhere to sensible restrictions on capital appreciation bonds before a law was passed mandating the restrictions. That law, Assembly Bill 182, was signed last week by Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown, despite heavy lobbying from construction and financial planning groups that opposed it. AB 182, which addresses the structure and sale of CABs, has four components: a maximum payback ratio of 4 to 1, a callable feature, limited bond maturity of 25 years, and transparency. Championed locally by McAllister with strong support from Calif. state treasurer Bill Lockyer, the bill was sponsored by Sen. Ben Hueso and Assembly member Joan Buchanan. First introduced in early 2013, it passed the state’s assembly and senate subcommittees, committees and full floor votes unanimously. The bill eliminates school districts’ ability to saddle taxpayers with debt that can balloon to over 10 times the principal amount
approved by voters, an abuse that was exposed in the Poway Unified School District recently and became the inspiration for this bill. “I am thrilled with the passage of Assembly Bill 182,” McAllister said in a statement. “This represents a new dawn and a new day for school and community college districts throughout the state of California.” McAllister also said he was particularly proud of San Dieguito, “as they courageously stood up before the bill was signed into law and did the right thing in adopting and utilizing all of the key components of AB 182. Taxpayers in San Dieguito can take pride that their board of trustees was proactive in implementing the proposed legislation.” San Dieguito gets an A+ for doing it right. Taxpayers apparently thought so too, because they approved the measure which contained clear language for voters to review that detailed exactly how the money would be spent. A win is a win, although I would not necessarily call a 55.1 percent passage rate an overwhelming mandate when 55 percent was needed. Nonetheless, the district laid out its plan, and the money for athletic field improvements was precisely
Bettina Halvorsen, Nancy Hashim specified in the bond language. So seeing this immaculate new field as the opener in a long list of projects shouldn’t come as a great surprise. Still, the school cost about $100 million to build 10 years ago, and the thought of $20 million now going to sports-related construction just makes my heart sink. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.
BOARD continued from page 1 moving up from vice president on the eve of the 2011 San Diego County Fair, when Brown dismissed three fair board members, including then-president Barry Nussbaum. During Day’s tenure as president, the 22nd DAA worked to mend fences with its neighbors and environmental agencies, settling lawsuits with the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach and the Sierra Club over its master plan, and reaching an agreement with the California Coastal Commission over alleged coastal act violations. “You have been a tremendous advocate for this district,” Schenk told Day as the gavel was passed at Tuesday’s meeting. Day will continue serving as a board member.

cording to a news release issued Tuesday: “The Beatles! - Backstage and Behind the Scenes,” is a fine art photography exhibition from the CBS photo archive and LIFE photographer Bill Eppridge. It includes 84 never-before published images of the Beatles first appearances in America in 1964. “Give Peace a Chance,” commemorates John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s historic “bedin” for peace. The exhibition features photography by Gerry Deiter, the only photographer who was present in their hotel room for all eight days of the bed-in. A video presentation highlighting the British Invasion, and other 1964 events such as civil rights marches and Vietnam War protests, was shown to the board at its meeting on Tuesday. More details about the events and activities planned for the 2014 fair will be unveiled in the coming months. The 2014 San Diego County Fair will open on Saturday, June 7, and run through Sunday, July 6.

CRASH continued from page 3 but Luke Benjamin’s identity has not been confirmed by the county coroner’s office, as of presstime. Winkler worked for an organization called Save A Child’s Heart, which provides free open-heart surgery in Israel to children from Africa and the Middle East, according to an article written by a friend of the woman’s father. In the article, which appears on the website of Irvine-based BusinessGhost Inc., company President and CEO Michael Levin writes that Winkler was a fundraiser and executive at Save A Child’s Heart. She and her boyfriend — presumably, Luke Benjamin — had traveled to Idaho for the weekend with the boyfriend’s father, according to Levin. The victims’ remains were recovered Tuesday. The bodies of a dog and two cats also were found in the wreckage. The cause of the crash was under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, but the probe has been delayed because of
Rancho Santa Fe Review the federal government shutdown. According to Van McKenny of the NTSB, ``there was no communication (from) the pilot indicating there was a problem with the aircraft at any time during the flight.’’ A witness told KCAL a tire on the landing gear might have blown out on touchdown, causing the plane to swerve to the right. Crews had to shore up the roof of the hangar before workers could enter the structure and examine the fuselage of the airplane. That task was accomplished by late Monday night, and the bodies were recovered after daybreak Tuesday morning, coroner’s Chief Craig Harvey said. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, sent a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration in response to the crash, calling on the agency to review safety conditions at the airport. ``I have repeatedly called on the Federal Aviation Administration to address concerns in the community over safety conditions at the airport. But the FAA has inexcusably failed to act,’’ Waxman wrote in the letter to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.
Waxman said he has been told that if the plane had not struck a hangar, it could have ``gone over an embankment and crashed into houses.’’
GYM continued from page 1 hardware and clearances for exits, new stairs, a ramp from the lobby to gym floor, toilets need to be reconfigured, a better path of travel through hallways and to bathrooms, vertical lifts, assisted lifting equipment and new signage. A new facility, depending on how big it is, would cost about $10-15 million — $20 million for a more elaborate design. At the November meeting, the board plans to vote on a letter of agreement from Public Policy Strategies to assist the district in informing residents about a proposal to rebuild the gym and gather feedback for a proposal — the cost of the proposal would not exceed $30,000. The new gym would require a bond approved in an election with 55 percent of the community’s vote. The shortest timeline would allow for occupancy of a new gym in August 2016 if the district paid out
of pocket for design as it progressed, risking the results of a bond in the June 2014 election. Other timelines include designs after bonds — if the board went for a bond in the June 2014 election, occupancy could be January 2017. A November 2014 bond could put them in a new gym by August 2017, factoring all the design and review processes. Built in 1974, the current gym is 10,470 square feet. The last big project was adding the new floor in 2007. “It has been kept in beautiful condition,� said Vaughn-Cleff. “It’s an excellent facility.� According to district superintendent Lindy Delaney, the needs for the gym are for more sports courts, locker rooms, wrestling room/ dance room, food service prep for middle school that could be combined with concessions and storage for administration, the PAC, science and gym. The board has options in the number of courts for the gym. One option is a new facility with two high schoolsize courts and one competition court, seating for 500 in retractable bleachers, coaching offices and changing rooms. Another option bumps the structure up to a
22,000-square-foot, threecourt facility. Delaney said three courts would be better for program use. “It would serve us better to get three courts than rebuild what we have,� Delaney said. Option three may include the necessity of additional acquisition of land. Delaney said they have explored the possibility of teaming with the RSF Community Center to create a shared facility and with the Association for a permanent home for the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol. The challenges of a new facility would be the building’s footprint as it is locked in by the current campus building, parking lot, black top, community center and library. If they built into the parking lot, Delaney said they would lose all but one row of parking spaces. The district also has to consider building heights and the impact on neighbors as a new building might be 9 feet taller than the existing structure, around 31 feet. At the next school board meeting, the board will talk more about programs, possible locations. The interest of the community center and Association, as well as a bond survey.
FIELDS continued from page 1 riders will stay off the asphalt and on the wood chips or gravel. Landscaping will be continued to the Rancho Riding Club entrance. “This is going to finish off Rambla de las Flores in a nice way,� Keene said. The work will be funded with $5,000 from the Community Enhancement Fund.

‘Tallest Tree’ at La Jolla Playhouse pays homage to the great Paul Robeson BY DIANA SAENGER The La Jolla Playhouse has a solid reputation developing plays with outstanding theatrical artists. That tradition continues when Moisés Kaufman returns to the Playhouse to direct the world premiere of “The Tallest Tree In The Forest,” opening Oct. 10. Daniel Beaty (“Emergency,” “Through the Night”) has written the new play with music, and he will perform his work, which centers on the internationally-renowned vocalist and star of stage and screen, Paul Robeson. Robeson became one of the best-known AfricanAmerican artists in the world in the early 20th century. “The Tallest Tree” features excerpts from several of his signature songs, including “Ol’ Man River” and “Steal Away.” Robeson won an academic scholarship to Rutgers University in 1915. He became a football AllAmerican and the class valedictorian. After graduation, he went to the New York University School of Law, and for a short time

worked as a lawyer before becoming an entertainer. He began singing and performing in productions in America and Great Britain. He was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award, as well as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Robeson eventually set aside his entertainment venues and became politically active, especially during WW II. He affiliated with several different causes and met with presidents

In just four short years he garnered 10 major awards including: 2011 Lucille Lortel; Drama Desk; Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Award nomination for the Broadway run of his acclaimed solo play, “Through the Night”; 2010 NAACP Theater Award – Best Solo Show; 2010 Ovation Award – Best Lead Male Actor in a Drama; 2008 Edgerton Foundation’s New American Play Award; 2007 Obie Award for Writing & Performance; and 2007 Scotsman Fringe First Award for the best new writer at the Edinburgh Festival. He wrote a Spoken World Ballet, “Far But Close,” for Dance Theater of Harlem. He is a Visiting Professor at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University.

Kaufman is the Artistic Director of Tectonic Theater Project and a Guggenheim Fellow in Playwriting. Tectonic is a producing partner along in Kansas City Rep of “The Tallest Tree In The Forest.”
Paul Leroy Robeson was an African-American singer and actor who became involved with the Civil Rights Movement. Born: April 9, 1898, Princeton, N.J. Died: Jan. 23, 1976, Philadelphia, Penn. Of the artists involved in the production, Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley said, “In Paul Robeson, an iconic figure who was as galvanizing as he was polarizing, Daniel has found the perfect subject to inhabit; and I can’t think of a better director than Playhouse favorite Moisés Kaufman to helm this probing piece about the power and responsibility of a great artist.”

RSF Toastmasters hosts author John Silverwood BY GWEN MECKLENBURG Members and guests of the Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters gathered Oct. 1 to hear the incredible story of a local family’s sailing adventure around the world on their 55-foot catamaran, the Emerald Jane. John Silverwood, a veteran blue water sailor, was fulfilling his life’s dream several years ago when he, his wife, and their four children, ages 3 through 14, left their Rancho Santa Fe home to live aboard ship. It became a sailing classroom in an ever-changing maritime world, a place of beauty and also hard work. Two years and 18,000 miles later, one fateful night changed everything. The voyage ended in a violent shipwreck on a submerged coral reef, deep in the South Pacific, as the family was heading to Australia. Breaking seas pitched tons of seawater on the Silverwoods and their vessel — a baptism to a long night and day of unimaginable pain, terror and despair…

Dining at Masuo’s is good for the heart and soul BY KELLEY CARLSON asuo Sato’s career path has taken him from schussing to sushi. Once an Olympic hopeful in skiing, Sato now serves as head chef at a restaurant that bears his name, which he owns with his wife, former model/athlete Linda Karecki. Like her husband, Karecki also aspired to compete in The Games, as a heptathlete. The sports-oriented couple keep healthy lifestyles in mind at their bright-red establishment on Highway 101 in Solana Beach, just down the street from Fletcher Cove. “We believe there is a real emerging trend in California around combining two loved ‘foodie’ passions, healthy/light eating and ethnic foods with a creative twist,” said Karecki, who has posed for publications such as Runner’s World and Muscle & Fitness. “We encourage our patrons to eat lunch and dinner with another culture and fall in love with it, right here by the beach, especially if they are coming back from a long bike ride, run or swim out of Fletcher Cove. Our sushi is fresh and our produce of the highest quality — perfect for individuals who are in training and want to eat healthy and have sustainable energy via protein and rice.” The atmosphere is friendly, yet relaxing, enhanced by servers who are hired for their outgoing, cheerful, yet laid-back personalities and are willing to connect with customers and ensure their comfort, Sato said. Patrons can delight in sipping on sake

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.
■ This week’s recipe:
Masuo’s Sushi Roll while observing chefs slicing and dicing raw fish and vegetables from seats at the counter. The contemporary atmosphere is embellished with paintings by area artists Gerrit Greve and Grant Pecoff, while upbeat music plays in the background. For private parties or perhaps a bit of romance at sunset, guests can head to the back patio with umbrellas, chairs, couches and tables for an ocean view. Wherever they sit, Masuo’s patrons are treated to Japanese and California-style sushi and Pan-Asian cuisine. Sato, whose parents were sushi chefs and restaurant owners in Osaka, Japan, has more than 30 years of experience working with the delicacies. He obtains fresh seafood daily from Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego fish markets, and assembles them into numerous types of rolls, entrees and appetizers.
Patrons may consider whetting their appetites with spicy Stuffed Jalapeños filled with a variety of fish. Next should be a variety of rolls, such as the Salmon Egg/Ikura topped with quail egg, the latter which nullifies the saltiness of the roe; the S.S. Roll, a combination of shrimp tempura, krab and cucumber with hamachi, salmon, sliced lemon and ponzu sauce; or the Monkey Stick cooked tempura-style and filled with spicy tuna krab and avocado. If it’s within the first few hours of the restaurant’s opening, customers can try asking for the hara (aka belly of the fish) which is buttery and practically melts in one’s mouth, but it does sell out quickly. Another item that can be requested is the Japanese French Fries — calamari strips lightly fried in garlic and ponzu sauce. To wrap things up, go for the Caterpillar Roll with a filling of eel, krab and cucumber topped with avocado and drizzled with a sweet sauce. Non-sushi fans can select from dishes like Filet Mignon, Chicken Teriyaki, Alaskan Halibut, Udon Soup and Seaweed Salad. If none of the menu items are quite to one’s tastes, they are welcome to customize their orders, from the levels of spiciness to the ingredients. And if the owners are impressed with the combination, they may add it to the menu and name it after its creator. Patrons can also request “bouncy” ikura that’s infused with sake, if it’s done 24 hours in advance.

The Mystery of Color Therapy It may well be that the great mystery in life is ourselves and the path to becoming whole and centered in our deeper self is our true purpose. As we reveal this mystery it moves us toward expressing our true being in the world without the confines of self-interest but in the context of ourselves and community. To communicate to this higher nature requires a language. The universal language through which nature speaks is color. Color is the multifaceted visual component of light. Living beings take in and give out light. Sages and teachers from all cultures reference a human radiance that each of us possess. To those with extraordinary visual acuity this radiance is seen as a field of colors. The most common name in our Western world for this color field that surrounds the physical body is our aura. In Greek, the description of the field of electrical or magnetic energies surround the periphery of the body is soma, the living energies. How far back in civilizations color has been used for healing is not clear but it has been well developed in these times in holistic health. One of the most advanced systems of color therapy is Aura-Soma. Aura-Soma uses a system of color selection of various formulations chosen by the person by visual appeal and correspondence. The formulations contain oils infused with light and color from plants, minerals and homeopathic substances that can be applied to the body to replete the aura, which in turn through a language of subconscious communication, allow ourselves to explore and accept new meaning to our experience. Through the help of a trained guide meaning can be connected to the bottle to help us understand more about these subtle energy realms.

‘An Evening with Angels’ Two teenage girls, who suffered severe burns from a space heater accident and a house fire, shared their stories during a special fundraising dinner at the home of Lizbeth Ecke and David Meyer on Sept. 28. For young accident victims with severe burns, the pain never really stops. The stares, name-calling, teasing and cruelty of their peers create a sort of living hell for this special group of survivors. Lesia Cartelli knows this is true, because she lived through it herself. Her desire to heal from a serious burn injury over 50 percent of her face and body at the age of 9 in a natural gas explosion encouraged her to create Angel Faces for girls who suffer similar disfiguring burns and other traumatic injuries. Lexi and Alex involved in separate horrific tragedies recently participated in the extraordinary Angel Faces week-long retreat that helps teenage girls overcome the stigma of severe burn disfigurements. They spoke at the fourth annual Evening with Angels about their journey and Angel Faces during the evening’s inspiring program. Angel Faces is the only program of its kind in the United States, and has been attended by girls from Canada, Mexico, and the UK. Angel Faces is a national non-profit organization, headquartered in Encinitas, California, whose mission is to provide healing retreats and ongoing support for adolescent girls and young women with burn/trauma injuries to achieve their optimum potential and develop meaningful relationships for themselves, their families, and their communities. The unique retreats offer both a physical and emotional transformation so each girl walks away with a new confidence and a hopeful outlook. Angel Faces will add a boys program next year.

The Grauer School to host Open House Nov. 2 The Grauer School will host an Open House event for prospective families on Saturday, Nov. 2, on their Encinitas campus from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tours will be conducted every 20 minutes and interested families are encourged to tour the facilities and meet with faculty, administration, matriculated students, and current Grauer families. “This year we are featuring an online registration option on our website that allows families to simply check-in and queue up for a tour rather than having to wait in line to register the day of the event. At the Open House, visitors will be guided through the campus by Grauer students and will be introduced to faculty, who will explain our academic and extra-curricular programs, including all-seasons athletics, performing arts, robotics, film, leadership, and community service,” states Elizabeth Braymen, director of admissions. “Our programs attract families who are looking for academic rigor coupled with teachers who truly care about the success of each individual student. We also offer outstanding support for independent athletes who need a customized schedule.” The Grauer School is a grades 6-12 college preparatory school that is the regional leader in the small schools movement. The Grauer School focuses on
Grauer Student Ambassadors, Divya Sriharan, Marni Gruzd, Cameron Payne, Andrew Oh, and Skyler Pia at the 2013 New Family Orientation. college preparatory rigor balanced with expeditionary learning and Socratic teaching. As a small school by design, with approximately 150 students total, The Grauer School emphasizes relationship-based teaching that stems from its small class sizes with a student to teacher ratio of 6 to 1. Braymen notes that The Grauer School’s feeling of connection is what families most frequently note once they have stepped foot on campus. She believes the emphasis on relationship driven education is the reason for the school’s superior college acceptance rates. “Grauer students have been accepted to Ivy League schools such as Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, and Cornell. Last year, 89 percent of our graduates received acceptance to their first choice school. These are results that have not been obtained at larger, more impersonal, schools. The data speaks for itself. This year 100 percent of matriculated students surveyed school-wide indicated that they feel like the faculty really care about them. We believe this connection with mentors is vital to the development of self-advocacy and makes our students highly attractive to colleges and universities.” Priority admission applications are due Jan. 17, while regular admissions applications are due Feb. 28. To learn more about Admissions Timeline and The Grauer School experience, visit www.grauerschool.com or call 760-274-2116. The Grauer School is enrolling grades 7-12 for the 20142015 academic year.

Starry Starry Night Gala The signature event of Voices for Children (VFC) since 2002, Starry Starry Night is an elegant and fun evening under the stars, benefiting the 5,100 foster children of San Diego County. This year’s event was held Sept. 28 at the Rancho Valencia Resort. This year’s gala raised more than $1.25 million, with the net being more than $1 million. With these funds, Voices for Children will be able to provide more than 400 additional foster children with CASAsCourt Appointed Special Advocates-volunteers, who work directly with foster children and speak on their behalf in the courtroom, classroom, and community. A substantial amount of the funds raised will be matched by a generous donor who has pledged to match $1 for $1 — all gifts from new donors and increased gifts from current donors, up to $1 million. This challenge goes through June 2014. This year’s event began with an elegant cocktail hour, followed by a gourmet dinner served al fresco — the menu created by Eric Bauer, the award-winning chef at Rancho Valencia. An exciting live auction was followed by musical entertainment and dancing under the canopy of stars, surrounded by the Mediterranean landscape of the resort. Visit www.ssn2013.org.

Chabad Jewish Center of RSF to hold six-course sessions promoting Jewish medical awareness The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life in the Balance: Jewish Perspectives on Everyday Medical Dilemmas,â&#x20AC;? the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new six-session Fall 2013 course that will begin during the week of Nov. 4. Rabbi Levi Raskin of the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the six-course sessions at 7 p.m. for six Mondays starting Nov. 4 at the Morgan Run Club and Resort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nowadays, at some point or another, everyone faces an extremely difficult medical decision that they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t equipped to handle,â&#x20AC;? said Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters in New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our objective with this course is to acquaint the public with fascinating Jewish perspectives on some of the most cutting-edge dilemmas in medical ethics.â&#x20AC;? In Life in the Balance, participants will ponder ethical questions about a range of topics ranging from end-of life-issues to preventive measures and respect due to the body after death. Questions include: Must we prolong life at the expense of immense suffering? Should we legalize compensation for organs to save the lives of those on the transplant list? And where do we draw the line between keen vigilance to safeguard oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and pointless panic? The course will also explore ethical ramifications of fascinating new technologies such as digital autopsies, and uterine transplants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These important issues are critical to so many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives yet they are rarely discussed nowadays,â&#x20AC;? said Rabbi Levi Raskin, the local JLI instructor in RSF. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a unique opportunity that will benefit the wider community of RSF, and we invite everyone to attend.â&#x20AC;? Like all JLI programs, Life in the Balance is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. The course is accredited to offer AMA PRA Category 1 CME credits for medical professionals, CLE credits for attorneys in CA, and AGD PACE credits for dentists. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-756-7571 or visit www.myJLI.com for registration and other course-related information. JLI courses are presented in RSF in conjunction with the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF.

Village Church Preschool families recently gathered for a potluck “getting to know you” picnic on the Village Church campus. The children enjoyed the playground, sensory tables and visiting with friends. The families were also treated to music by Steve from Hullabaloo. The children danced as Steve played his guitar and sang familiar songs for the children. It was the first “all school gathering” of the year. This was a great time for families to reconnect and meet new friends from school.

Polo Bay Interiors expands to open Polo Bay Consignments in Solana Beach BY DIANE Y. WELCH Tucked away in the Village on Cedros Avenue is the showroom of Polo Bay Consignments. The space, recently vacated by Re-Gallery — where artwork made from recycled materials was exhibited — now showcases furnishings and home accessories, gently used and of high-end designer quality, artfully displayed in eye-catching vignettes in a boutique setting. The vacancy was an opportunity that couldn’t be passed up by Mary Kellejian, ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) and her partner and daughter, Kelli Kellejian Barrett, Allied ASID, who saw the potential in the former gallery as a showroom that could expand on Kellejian’s current interior design company, Polo Bay Interiors, just steps away. An expansion of her business into consignment came to mind immediately, said Kellejian. “Kelli and I had always talked about consignment, we’ve always consignment shopped, so we were on the same page and, of course, we got Joe into it, too.” Joe Kellejian is the former Mayor of Solana Beach City and is Mary’s husband and Kelli’s father. An official ribbon cutting for the grand opening of the showroom was held by the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, Sept 26. Kellejian, past president of ASID, has been a chamber member since she moved her interior design business to Cedros Ave. just over two years ago after being located in Del Mar for 25 years. Joining in partnership with her daughter was a natural fit. While Kelli was in design school she worked with her mother as an assistant but then branched out onto her own career path, which included working for a model home company in Orange County. She then represented a window covering firm and, in 2010, was hired by Sterling Interiors in Sorrento Mesa as a full-service designer. “Then my mom called me and said, ‘I want you to come back!’” chuckled Kelli who, with 15 years in the design industry, remains a part-time consultant for Sterling Interiors. However, she plans to segue into full-time partnership with her mother as the business takes off. Which, from the amount of foot traffic and number of daily inquiries, won’t be long, they both
HOME OF THE WEEK 4536 North Lane Del Mar, CA Potential galore awaits in this mainly single level home located on just over 1 flat acre in fabulous Montecillo in Rural Del Mar. All living spaces including 4 bedrooms and 3 baths are on the main floor with a loft area and full bath over the living room. The entire lot is usable with the back portion currently planted with fruit trees. There is room to park 10+ cars and an attached 3 car garage. Montecillo is a hidden jewel within walking distance of Lomas Santa Fe Country Club and San Dieguito Park and minutes away from I 5, Cedros and the beach. The incredible location provides convenience, incredible sunny weather out of the marine layer, upside potential—the perfect hidden paradise.
Joe Kellejian, Mary Kellejian, Kelli Kellejian Barrett. Photo/Diane Welch agree. The merchandising of the showroom reflects an artistry that creates an airy coastal feel that mixes and matches textures, colors and the scale of items so that each is visible. “I don’t want to take someone’s furniture and then hide it in a corner where people don’t even know it’s there,” said Kellejian. “We truly want to showcase these items.” The main comments that they have been receiving from walk-in customers are “It is so cute in here” and “Your prices are excellent,” Kellejian said. Prices are set fairly so that items do not sit for too long in the showroom. After a month without selling the price is reduced 10 percent, the next month another 10 percent, and by the third month the consignor has the option to pick up the item, have it marked down another 10 percent or donate the item. Polo Bay Consignments plans to donate these unsold and unwanted pieces to the Wounded Warrior charity to help sup-
port wounded veterans. Because the display space is limited, turn around of merchandise is swift. “We advise customers not to think too long about an item because chances are it will have been snapped up when they return,” said Kellejian. And if a consignor has a large scale item it is recommended they send in photographs that are then placed in a binder which may be shared with clients. “In this regard we serve as matchmakers too,” said Kelli. Having long-term relationships with many of their customers, both Kelli and Mary Kellejian know in an instant if a piece of furniture, a light fixture or an accessory is exactly what a client may be searching for. “We are happy to go that extra step,” said Kelli, “to let people know that we are thinking about them.” And with excellent pricing it comes with significant savings for the client she said. Showroom hours are Tuesday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. –5 p.m., with extended hours during the Holiday period. Visit www.polobayinteriors.com and click on services, then consignment to find out more details about the service. Or call Kelli Kellejian Barrett or Mary Kellejian at (858) 259 1334; polobayconsignments@gmail.com. Polo Bay Consignments is located at 348 South Cedros Avenue, #H - Solana Beach, CA 92075.
