Rowe school’s gym roof in need of repair BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board approved the district going out for bid on a repair of the roof of the school gym after a portion was recently damaged. Superintendent David Jaffe made the recommendation for the repair at the Oct. 5 meeting. According to Jaffe, during the last rains, a small awning outside the gym that covers the student lockers became waterlogged and fell during the night. As it was not during school hours, no one was injured and Jaffe said the area has been secured and is not currently a safety issue for students. “We need to move forward,” Jaffe said of the repair work. He said that the district has received two proposals for roof work — to repair the western side of the roof would cost $18,500 and the bid to repair both sides was $38,000. The board is expected to consider proposals at its next meeting. RSF School District board member Scott Kahn requested that a thorough inspection of the roof is completed so the district can avoid any future “surprises.” In December 2015, the board discussed the need for gym roof repairs, as it had been noted that parts of the eaves and beams had rotted. In January, the board learned that over the next five years it could cost $623,000 to maintain the existing gym facility. Without any repairs, the “useful life” of the building, constructed in 1973, was projected at five to 10 years.

RSF Middle School ranks among state’s top 10 schools BY KAREN BILLING R. Roger Rowe Middle School is the top performing middle school in San Diego County and the 10th best school in the state. The Rancho Santa Fe School District celebrated its high scores on the Standard Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) test at its Oct. 7 board meeting. In addition to the middle school soaring high, Superintendent David Jaffe reported that the elementary school’s scores were also among the top in the county and the state. In English language arts, the district had 88 percent of students meet or exceed standards compared to 49 percent statewide average. In math, the district had 87 percent meet or exceed the standards compared to the state’s 37 percent. Jaffe said the scores are a reflection of a staff

that truly cares about the success of every child. He said the dedication to excellence from staff, parents and students is what makes R. Roger Rowe one of California’s top schools. “The challenge is to look deep into the data to see where our strengths are and where our challenges are, to address any issues,” Jaffe said. “We will always be looking for ways to improve.” In the elementary school, third grade performed strong, with 93 percent meeting or exceeding the standard in language arts and 92 percent met or exceed math standards. Elementary school Principal Kim Pinkerton said fifth grade students showed “tremendous growth” in the claims of writing and research and inquiry. Comparing their results from SEE SCHOOL, A20

RSF Association’s deal with Hotwire to end BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s agreement with Hotwire Communications to build a $13.5 million fiber-to-home network in Rancho Santa Fe will soon be terminated. In executive sessions, the RSF Association board, the finance committee and the technology committee came to the unanimous conclusion that the terms of the current letter of intent with Hotwire are “not satisfactory,” reported RSF Association President Fred Wasserman at the Oct. 6 RSF Association board
meeting. “That gives us the option to look at other alternatives,” Wasserman said. “We are moving ahead with a fiber-optic project here, we are going to do it right, we’re going to do it carefully and we’re going to bring it on budget. This is a very important item for this community.” RSF Association Director Allen Finkelson said that the belief among all the groups was that they would not be able to arrive at a definitive agreement with Hotwire. “We can’t just SEE DEAL, A22

RSF Association assessments to go RSF Association bylaw toward fiber project, environment changes pass with BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board set its assessment allocation for 2016-17 at the board’s Oct. 5 meeting. The assessment rate will remain 14 cents per $100,000 assessed property value, as set by the County of San Diego’s tax rolls. According to treasurer Janet Danola, 11.5 cents will go to general services and 2.5 cents to “capital investments under consideration of the board for projects related to the community-wide fiber optic network, water and the environment.” The intent of calling out projects funded by homeowners’ assessments is a response to one of the auditor’s management comments last year that the Covenant Enhancement Fund
needed to be allocated, she said. In past years, allocations had simply gone to the fund without specificity of what projects they would go toward. There is currently $6 million in the Covenant Enhancement Fund, with an estimated contribution of $1.2 million this year. The Finance Committee had discussed the allocations and Danola said there had been some revisions from their recommendation. The committee had wanted the 2.5 cents to go toward sustainable water and reforestation. “Additionally, they wanted to require a vote in accordance with the bylaws,” Danola said. “There is no vote required by the bylaws, so I struck that portion.” Danola said because the sustainable
water project is still in development, she thought the RSF Association should back off the word “sustainable” and just use the term “water” to provide more flexibility if there’s more than one water project. Instead of reforestation, the focus of the allocation was put on the whole environment. “I think that the spirit of what the Finance Committee approved is still in this recommendation,” Danola said. The board’s vote to approve the allocation was not unanimous, with Director Allen Finkelson voting against it. Last year, all 14 cents of the assessment went into the general fund as the Association needed to rebuild its unrestricted reserves.
RSF School District looks to strengthen arts program BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board approved the hiring of an independent consultant to evaluate and make recommendations for developing R. Roger Rowe’s visual and performing arts program. At the recommendation of RSF School District Superintendent David Jaffe, the board agreed to an $8,000 contract
with Ashley Adams, the first drama teacher at Canyon Crest Academy and former director in the school’s specialized Envision program which encompasses cinema, dance, theater, music and digital and fine arts. As Jaffe was the founding principal at CCA, he has experience working with Adams and watched as Envision became a model arts program for other
schools. “I’m confident in her ability to work with our teachers on campus and the parents, too,” Jaffe said. With the board’s approval, Adams will now begin a four-month long assessment process involving parent meetings and staff input. The goal at the end is for Adams to make a variety SEE ARTS, A22
75 percent approval BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association voters passed the revisions to the bylaws, with 704 members voting in favor of the changes and 226 voting against. The ballots were counted by election inspector Bruce Bishop at the Oct. 6 RSF Association board meeting. According to Bishop, a total of 932 ballots were received; two were void for being left blank or casting both a “yes” and “no” vote. By comparison, in the June board of directors’ election, there was a record-high 1,694 votes cast. RSF resident Dick Doughty had questioned whether the bylaws had to be amended by a majority of total residents or by a majority of ballots cast. RSF Association President Fred Wasserman said legal counsel had concluded it was perfectly acceptable for amendments to be

decided by a majority of ballots cast. The Association’s governing documents committee had been working on the update for nearly a year, “thousands of hours” with several opportunities for public comment. The main goal in this round of changes was simplification, consistency, parity and bringing the documents in line with the Davis-Sterling Act and the California Corporations Code. Among the changes, the revision deleted the complicated voter registration process and aimed to provide fairness in member voting: each property owner of record shall have one membership and two votes. Condo voting rights are expected to be reviewed in the governing documents committee’s next round of updates.

Q & A: Meet the San Dieguito Union High School District board candidates There are five candidates vying for two open spots on the San Dieguito Union High School District board. The election is Nov. 8. Below and on page A5, in alphabetical order, are biographies on each candidate and their answers to questions. Name: Randy Berholtz Occupation: Corporate Attorney, Life Sciences Entrepreneur, Adjunct Professor Education: Cornell: BA summa cum laude; Oxford M.Litt (Rhodes Scholar); Yale JD; University of San Diego School of Business: MBA Community Service: Parent-Teacher Committee, Del Mar Union School District; Basketball and soccer coach; Member, Rancho Bernard Community Council; President, San Diego Chapter, Republican National Lawyers Randy Association; Board member, San Diego Chapter Berholtz of the Federalist Society; Member and later Alternate, San Diego County Republican Party Central Committee; Member, LEAD San Diego Program; Board member, San Diego Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel; Board member, ALMA Life Science Foundation; Advisory board, Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences at the Claremont Colleges. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union High School District? a. The lack of a comprehensive, long range strategic plan. b. The passing of a budget that has slashed spending for teacher school supplies and has increased student to teacher ratios up to 35, 40 or higher per classroom. c. The approval of an embarrassingly terrible teachers union agreement that has been awarded a Golden Fleece Award by the San Diego County Taxpayers Association 2. How would you propose to address those issues? a. Development of a 10-year strategic plan that places the needs of the district’s students and their parents first. b. The provision of complete funding for teacher supplies and a plan to decrease student classroom size to 30 or less and to consider that in its future contract negotiations. SEE BERHOLTZ, A22
Name: Joyce Dalessandro Occupation: Trustee, San Dieguito Union High School District Education: B.S. Cornell University; M.A. Columbia University, curriculum development Community Service: Many years of volunteering for and leading community committees, scholarship groups, planning groups 1. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union Joyce Dalessandro High School District? The San Dieguito Union High School District is among the highest achieving districts in the state. The ever improving level of excellence that we expect from our schools takes a great deal of time, effort and knowledge to accomplish. We seek the best solutions possible in order to provide the finest education to each and every student. We have a commitment, as a district, to continuous improvement. Critical issues abound: Seeking a highly qualified superintendent; maximizing our dollars within the constraints of our budget; closing the achievement gap; attracting the best and brightest teachers; enhancing student well-being and connectedness; school safety; tackling the challenges of evolving curriculum; remaining cutting-edge in expanded learning opportunities, facilities and educational practices. 2. How would you propose to address those issues? Successfully addressing these issues requires experience, commitment, time, effort and a positive can-do attitude. Each issue presents its own challenges. I work hard every day on behalf of our students to face the challenges, study the issues and apply my expertise toward working out solutions. 3.

What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union Beth Hergesheimer High School District? Our district’s most pressing issue is the need to hire a new superintendent. My first priority will be to find the best candidate possible for superintendent, so that we can return our district’s focus to the cooperative partnership between students, teachers, parents, community, and administration that has proven to produce great results such as high student achievement and success, great teachers, facilities and programs, and schools of choice. Developing thoughtful budgets and maintaining healthy reserves, while continually seeking new ways to help all students succeed are some of the additional issues I will continue to direct attention toward. 2. How would you propose to address those issues? I look forward to a fresh start in the coming year that will include joint superintendent /board member workshops where we can find ways to work together to build upon the academic excellence that has been the standard in our district. I will also seek the creation of additional opportunities for sharing accurate information with our community through public forums, planning meeting and workshops, the district website and other available media to assure our entire community that we are listening, responsive and transparent. 3.

Below and on page A4, in alphabetical order, are biographies on each candidate and their answers to questions. Name: Lucile Lynch Occupation: Parent, attorney, former small business owner and education advocate Education: UCLA, B.A. Political Science 1983; Univ. of Pittsburgh, Juris Doctorate 1988 Community Service: Currently: SDUHSD Pool Feasibility Committee, SDUHSD Special Education Forum/Committee, Coach for the Miracle League San Diego, and volunteer education advocate for low income families Lucile Lynch and families of students with special needs.

What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union High School District? The district recently announced a $4 million surplus, years of surpluses and the “highest reserves ever.” And yet, $2.2 million has been reduced from this year’s budget for supplies and materials. Career pathway courses and electives were not fully funded. Our families should not be funding school essentials such as supplies, courses or computers when such surpluses exist. •Our teachers’ contract eliminated class size maximums even though our class sizes already significantly exceed the national average. Many classes are now in the 40s. •We must better equip our students for the 21st century workplace using innovative instructional models. SEE LYNCH, A22

What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union High School District? New issues will surface, but we can be certain of two: the funding and completion of Prop AA projects, and the renewal of our teachers’ contract. Our board has been split 3-2 in funding some critical Prop AA modernization and expansion projects; a new majority could stop these voter-approved efforts. Our current teachers’ contract was also approved along a 3-2 vote, and includes a clause that automatically increases salaries to ensure they are always the highest in the county. Yes, our teachers should be well paid, but the board should not abdicate its fiduciary responsibility to other school districts. SEE NASCENZI, A22

Community Emergency Response Team’s fall training is Oct. 19
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and the city of Encinitas pay for North County residents to be trained to help in the case of a catastrophic disaster. In 2004, the Encinitas Fire Department started the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program to prepare residents for a catastrophic disaster. This program teaches citizens basic emergency skills and how to respond effectively to disasters as part of a team. A training academy for residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas, Del Mar and Solana Beach begins this month, with orientation set for Oct. 19 at the Encinitas Community Center. The academy will include four training sessions, plus a final training activity Nov. 5. While the academy is free, limited space is available. Those interested should check the schedule (enccert.org) and register by sending an email to Alewin@encinitasca.gov with name, email, complete address and phone number(s). The program includes special training for basic fire suppression and medical care. Volunteers will also learn how to size-up search-and-rescue situations, such as a collapsed
building, to determine whether it is safe to go in, according to a news release. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community. The program was initially created by the Los Angeles Fire Department in 1986 and has now been established in over 1,100 communities nationwide. There will be another training academy in the area in the spring. Additionally, Encinitas CERT will present a one-hour disaster preparedness program titled “Are You Ready” at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oak Crest Drive. The free program is tailored to address disasters that are likely to affect Encinitas and help local citizens be more prepared. To learn more about Encinitas CERT, email info@enccert.org. — Submitted press release

RSF Fire District receives $25,000 grant RSF Women’s Fund ‘Fashion’s Night Out’ event to feature top designer from SD Regional Fire Foundation The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) recently announced a $25,000 grant from the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation (Fire Foundation) that will be used to purchase firefighter personal protection equipment (PPE) for the district’s volunteer firefighters following the recent merger of RSFFPD and Elfin Forest/Harmony Grove Fire Department. The Fire Foundation presented the grant check to RSFFPD at the district’s annual Pancake Breakfast Oct. 9. “We appreciate the Fire Foundation and their generosity,” said Deputy Chief Fred Cox. “This grant will help us provide our firefighters the necessary tools to protect their lives and survivability during emergencies. It also gives them the best equipment available to decrease exposure to toxic byproducts of combustion and carcinogenic materials. By safeguarding our
firefighters from the many hazards associated with our job, we are able to more efficiently serve the public’s needs.” Added Division Chief Frank Twohy, “Elfin Forest Fire/Harmony Grove Fire Department is proud to be a part of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. We appreciate the district’s ongoing efforts to keep our personnel and communities safe and are grateful to the Fire Foundation for helping us achieve those goals.” This grant is part of the Fire Foundation’s annual grant program that supports fire departments throughout San Diego County. A total of $143,060 will be distributed this year. Including special grants made earlier in the year, the Fire Foundation has awarded more than $280,000 in 2016 and more than $5 million since the Foundation’s formation in 1989 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
On Nov. 2, the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund, a division of the RSF Foundation, will bring global fashion to a stage in Rancho Santa Fe. The event will start at 6 p.m. at the beautiful Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, 5827 Via de la Cumbre, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067. Celebrity-loved designer Alka Tolani will present her current fashions now trending on the global fashion stage. Tolani designs have become a favorite amongst Hollywood’s “it” girls. Celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Nicole Richie, Hilary Duff, Taylor Momsen, Rachel Bison, Shenae Grimes, Sienna Miller, Miley Cyrus, Tori Spelling, Selena Gomez, Annalynne McCord and Lauren Conrad can’t seem to get enough of her design elements that have the elegance of contemporary day to day wear. Tolani, growing up in the mountain region of northeast India, had the opportunity to travel extensively through the rural areas and was exposed to the rich culture and heritage of those areas. Through her travels, Tolani grew a deep love for design and the fashions of different cultures. Using global cultures as inspiration, Tolani has created an accessory and clothing line which diffuses native design elements with eye-catching prints, intricate detailing and vibrant blends of color. Tolani captures a variety of styles while maintaining its essence, the combination of modernity and tradition.

CCA student creates film to raise awareness about loss Sonia Halle lost her father to cancer last year BY KRISTINA HOUCK Inspired by the loss of her father, a Canyon Crest Academy freshman recently screened a film she created in an effort to bring awareness and understanding to the community about youth and families that are dealing with a cancer diagnosis and treatment. By completing and screening the film, Sonia Halle also earned her Girl Scout Silver Award. The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn. “The Silver Award is about impacting your community and changing it Sonia Halle for the better,” said Sonia, a 14-year-old Carmel Valley resident. Sonia wrote and directed a short-film based on her experience with her father’s lung cancer diagnosis, treatment and passing. She was an eighth grader when her father died at the age of 55 last September. “You don’t see a lot of awareness being raised about kids of people who have had cancer, people who are married to them or their best friends,” she said. “I wanted to raise awareness for the support of family members and friends going through this. It’s just something really near and dear to my heart.”
COURTESY
The film screening was held Sept. 21 at Mintz Levin. “Please Tell Me This Isn’t Real” follows a teenage girl’s journey as she vlogs her thoughts and feelings through the progression of her father’s cancer diagnosis. The 20-minute film’s main character is based on Sonia. “It’s a really great format because it’s raw and more personal,” Sonia said. “It’s like you’re going through it with them.” Sonia has had years of experience on stage, but this was her first time behind the camera. Since she was 9 years old, Sonia has performed at several local youth theaters in San Diego and is currently an active
troupe member of Theater of Peace, an acting troupe that visits schools to raise awareness about bullying and demonstrate tools that can be used to overcome and break the cycle of negativity. “I’ve never really done anything as professional and significant as this,” Sonia said about her behind-the-camera work. Sonia started working on the script in February. As writer and director, she worked with an executive producer, director of photography, several actors and other professionals in the industry. “I didn’t realize how much work it would be,” said Sonia, who is currently in
rehearsals as Goran in San Diego Junior Theatre’s “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” which runs Oct. 28 through Nov. 13 at Casa del Prado Theatre. “You don’t realize how much goes into a film until you have to do everything,” she said. “But I had a lot of great help.” Having recently completed the film, Sonia held a screening Sept. 21 at Mintz Levin, a law firm in Carmel Valley. About 50 people attended the event, which included a talk-back with Sonia, some of the actors and a representative from Elizabeth Hospice to discuss how to relate to kids going through a similar situation. “It was really great,” Sonia said. “I was really happy with the turnout. From the panel and from the movie I’ve reached 50 people. I’ve taught them that cancer sucks, grieving sucks and death sucks, but here’s how you can help.” About a week later Sonia held a second screening for Elizabeth Hospice, a nonprofit agency that provides hospice and bereavement services to the terminally-ill and their families throughout North San Diego County. She’s currently exploring other ways to share her film with more people in the community. “It’s not only the person with the disease that’s being affected,” Sonia said. “People need to grieve and they’re going to grieve in different ways. They’re going to deal with pain and loss and disease in different ways. It’s important that you let them grieve and it’s important that you’re there to support them.”

SDUHSD Prop AA tour shows off coming attractions BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union High School District parents and board members got a preview of all the exciting things to come at district schools on a Prop AA tour on Oct. 5. Guests traveled by yellow school bus to Earl Warren Middle School, Torrey Pines High School and San Dieguito and Canyon Crest Academies to see a variety of campus construction projects, all made possible by the $449 bond initiative passed by voters in 2012. The tour started at what Interim SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said was perhaps the most exciting project in the district: the brand new Earl Warren campus in Solana Beach, converting one of the district’s oldest schools into its newest school. The $42 million project is right on schedule, set to welcome students in fall 2017. Next week the board will consider an
amendment to add solar to the new campus. As construction on the beachy new campus has been underway, students have attended school in the temporary Seahawk Village interim campus, which Dill said has been very successful. The district has entered a partnership with Solana Beach School District that should its general obligation bond — the $105 million Prop JJ — pass in November, the interim campus would house Skyline School students as their school is built across Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Just as Earl Warren students have embraced the interim campus, so have San Dieguito High School Academy (SDA) students. As construction on a new 22-classroom building is underway, the tour showed how students have taken ownership of the construction walls around the developing campus, painting murals and
adding decorations such as flower boxes to the windows that offer a glimpse of the work underway. “They have added their own artistic flair to the construction,” said SDA Principal Bjorn Paige. “They see it as an installation piece.” The $20 million building replaces what Paige jokingly referred to as “Soviet-era bunkers,” offering new science and math classrooms by the fall of 2017. Once that construction is complete, work will begin on a second, 33-classroom building on the southeast side of the campus, this one creating new spaces for English, social science and art studios. At Canyon Crest Academy in the district’s south end, the tour saw how work is moving along quickly on “Building B,” the new 14-classroom building at the front of the campus. The $18 million project, a

At Torrey Pines High School, Principal Rob Coppo led visitors into the school’s 13 brand new science classrooms, reconfigured in what had been an “old, dark hallway” that is now filled with natural light. The new classrooms offer a bright, open design with mobile tables and comfortable chairs in a “more collegiate environment.” “It’s an amazing retrofit,” said Coppo, a 1986 graduate of Torrey Pines. “I remember taking French across the hallway.” The new learning commons/media center is currently under construction at Torrey Pines and is set to open in January.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - OCTOBER 13, 2016 - PAGE A9
Bestselling author, former TV writer to discuss new book at RSF Library BY LOIS ALTER MARK s soon as Maria Semple, author of the wildly successful “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,” starts talking, it’s easy to see who inspired her beloved character. She’s down-to-earth, self-deprecating and hilarious, which readers will discover for themselves when she reads from her new book, “Today Will Be Different,” at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Guild’s October Author Talk on Oct. 24 at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. “Today Will Be Different” is about a day in the life of Eleanor Flood, a former animator on a hit TV show and a middle-aged mom who’s married to a hand surgeon to the stars. The story takes place over one 24-hour period and covers a tremendous amount of ground – both physically and emotionally. The book opens with a promise Eleanor makes to herself that many readers will relate to: “Today will be different. Today I will be present. Today, anyone I speak to, I will look them in the eye and listen deeply. Today I’ll play a board game with Timby. I’ll initiate sex with Joe. Today I will take pride in my appearance. I’ll shower, get dressed in proper clothes, and change into yoga clothes only for yoga, which today I will actually attend. Today I won’t swear. I won’t talk about money. Today there will be
A
an ease about me. My face will be relaxed, its resting place a smile. Today I will radiate calm. Kindness and self-control will abound. Today I will buy local. Today I will be my best self, the person I’m capable of being. Today will be different.” And, of course, it is – but not in any of the ways Eleanor planned. “That’s how I wake up in the morning,” admitted Semple in a phone interview that was more like an intimate conversation with a best friend. “It’s very much me. I could sit here and act like I was a better writer but the fact is it’s just me.” For more than a decade, Semple was a writer and producer for top TV shows such as “Arrested Development,” “Mad About You” and “Beverly Hills 90210.” But when her daughter was born, Semple decided it was time for a change. “I loved writing for TV and it suited me to be with all the funny people,” she said. “But the weird thing was I didn’t watch TV. I was much more interested in reading books. Plus, those crazy hours don’t go well with motherhood. It’s an unsavory combination.” When her friend, novelist Bruce Wagner, suggested she write a novel, she was intrigued. “It honestly never occurred to me that someone as fundamentally scatterbrained as me could write fiction. So I just started writing, and it was the happiest work

of my life. I had the best time, and I loved sitting alone and coming up with scenarios. I just knew this was what I was born to do.” Semple’s debut novel, “The One Is Mine,” is about a woman living what looks like the perfect Hollywood life – except she’s deeply unhappy. “It’s got the themes I think I’m always going to be going back to,” said Semple. “With that first book, I was trying to put on a more serious hat. I loosened it up enormously with ‘Bernadette’ And then, with ‘Today Will Be Different,’ I pushed it even further. It’s just my voice.” That voice resonated so strongly with readers, that “Where’d You Go Bernadette” spent over a year on the
New York Times bestseller list and became a book club favorite. “Because people loved it so much, I feel like, with the new book, I’ve just been waiting to see what the relative level of disappointment would be,” she said. “I thought if people are mildly disappointed, that would be a victory. As it turns out, people seem to like it.” That’s an understatement. The reviews have been raves, and Semple is thrilled. “It makes me feel really good – mainly because it’s really easy,” she laughed. “Now that I know, oh, it’s my voice people are responding to, it’s not that much of a reach to write about an early onset Alzheimer’s-like
menopausal woman who talks about everyone she comes across.” For all their humor, though, Semple’s novels are rich with emotion, and nowhere is that more evident than in the 16-page graphic novel included in “Tomorrow Will Be Different.” The work of Eric Chase Anderson, brother of filmmaker Wes Anderson, “The Flood Girls” tells Eleanor’s childhood story, and it’s both beautiful and devastating. “I love physically holding a book in my hand and constantly going back to look at the pictures,” said Semple. “Because Eleanor is an illustrator, I thought I should show some of her work. I really wanted to kick it up a notch so the book would be a great experience for the reader. You know, if you look at my Twitter account, the subtitle is, ‘I make it nice for the people.’ That’s me – Maria Semple: I make it nice for the people.” Semple will be making it nice for the people on Oct. 24 from 10:30 a.m. to noon at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, thanks to the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Guild in partnership with Warwick’s. Tickets are $55, and include a continental breakfast and a signed copy of “Today Will Be Different.” For reservations or more information, visit www.rsflibraryguild.org or call 858-756-4780.

Ask the 2016
MC C P S W Robert Dolan (pictured below, left) didn’t know the difference between a mill and a micrometer—until he was laid off from his job as a car salesman and heard about the Machinist Technology Program at MiraCosta College’s Technology Career Institute. Today, Dolan is firmly ensconced in his new career as an operator at TE Connectivity in Oceanside, a firm that designs and manufactures components for companies in the aerospace and defense industries. “I couldn’t have done it without MiraCosta College,” said Dolan. “The programs at the Technology Career Institute that taught me what I needed to know to get my foot in the door and succeed in this profession.” Dolan isn’t the only one singing MiraCosta College’s praises. Graduates of the college’s advanced manufacturing and engineering programs have a 92-percent employment rate, and students have been hired at companies ranging from Callaway Golf, IOS Technologies, Southwest Greene International, and ViaSat, to name a few. “As a community college, a large part of our role is to prepare students for living-wage jobs that enable them to contribute to the economy and society in general,” said Dean of Career & Technical Education Al Taccone. From a new, first-in-the-nation, baccalaureate program in biomanufacturing to long-established allied health and nursing options, MiraCosta College is playing a key role in building the local workforce and preparing students to become business and industry leaders, medical professionals, web designers, personal fitness trainers, and more.
Robert Dolan
Dolan learned of the accelerated machinist program through a state Employment Development Department career center while collecting unemployment benefits. A counselor noted that there was a huge demand for, and severe shortage of, qualified machinists in the area. When Dolan learned a state grant would pay for the tuition to cover the three-month, 40-hour-per-week program, he was in. “I would definitely recommend that people look into what MiraCosta has to offer,” said Dolan. “The college is looking out for the best interests of its students, and it was instrumental in setting me up for my new career. I couldn’t be happier with what I’m doing now.” Carlsbad resident and nursing graduate Lauren Flaherty (pictured below, right) agrees. Flaherty took advantage of MiraCosta College’s intimate class sizes and talented professors when pursing her degree and now is working as a nurse with plans to earn an advance degree at Cal State San Marcos. “I really enjoyed how small and intimate my classes were, and I had really awesome teachers, where I could get one-on-one instruction with very personal, quality rapport,” said Flaherty, who grad-uated with an associate degree in nursing in the spring of 2015. “Consider yourself blessed if accept-ed into the MiraCosta Nursing Program!” MiraCosta College (760) 757.2121 | www.miracosta.edu | Email: pio@miracosta.edu Oceanside Campus: 1 Barnard Drive, Oceanside, CA 92056

PREPARING STUDENTS TO TRANSFER
As the cost of attending University of California and State University schools rises, more students are starting their education at the community college level. MiraCosta College helps to ensure that students who can’t afford the high price of a university still have the opportunity to succeed in college and careers.
PREPARING STUDENTS FOR CAREERS
MiraCosta College is an essential part of the North County economy. We are a critical partner to local employers in biotech, manufacturing, and other industries that help our area and economy thrive.
SERVING OUR VETERANS
MiraCosta provides job placement, job training and counseling to approximately 1,800 Navy, Marine and other military veterans and their families each year.
COST OF MEASURE MM To continue providing a high-quality education for local students, the MiraCosta Community College District has placed MEASURE MM, a local facilities bond measure, on the ballot this November. The measure may generate $455 million to upgrade our college and will cost approximately $14.99 per $100,000 of assessed value (not market value) per year.
THE MEASURE WOULD PROVIDE LOCALLY-CONTROLLED FUNDING TO: Improve the Veterans Center to provide job training, job placement, counseling and support services Upgrade career training facilities for science, health care, technology and skilled trades Update instructional technology for improved student learning in core subjects like math, science and technology Improve access for students with disabilities Repair or replace leaky roofs, worn-out oors and restrooms, old rusty plumbing and faulty electrical systems Update science centers and labs to allow for state-of-the-art courses in biology, chemistry and physical sciences
FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY WOULD BE REQUIRED All funds would stay in our community to support our local community college and students No funds could be taken by the State No funds could be spent on salaries or pensions

PREP GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
CCA co-hosting one of the West Coast's biggest tournaments BY GIDEON RUBIN Canyon Crest Academy’s volleyball team over the summer traveled half a world away to play in an elite tournament in Europe. Over the weekend, the Ravens will compete in one of the most prestigious tournaments on the West Coast, and they won’t have to travel nearly as far. This time, they’ll be hosting it. Some of the nation’s best teams and players will descend upon the area for the Oct. 14-15 Hudl Southern California Invitational. CCA is co-hosting the 64-team tournament with Westview High School. The tournament will be split into two divisions held at three sites: CCA, Alliant International University and San Diego Volleyball Club. The 14th annual version of the tournament is being co-hosted by CCA and Westview for fourth straight year. It started out as a small local tournament hosted by Granite Hills for nine years before Haas and Westview coach Nancy Ros expanded it into a an event that will showcase some of the most talented players on the West Coast. CCA is among six San Diego-area teams that will compete in the tournament. Santa Fe Christian, Westview, Bishop’s, Del Norte and Francis Parker are the others. SFC is led by Lexi Sun, the nation’s top high school player according to Haas. The 6-foot-4 senior outside hitter has committed to play collegiately at Texas. Teams from Arizona, Nevada and Utah will be represented in the tournament. “It’s super fun to get all these teams together that don’t normally play against other, that have never seen or even heard of each other, that are all going to play top level volleyball, and battling it out,” Haas said. “There’s no rivalry, there’s no hatred or ill feelings, it’s all about the volleyball and it’s all about ‘Am I better than you?’ It makes for a really fun environment.” CCA will compete in the advanced Division 1 bracket, which also includes Hamilton of Chandler, Ariz., ranked No. 4 in USA Today’s Region 9 (California, Arizona, Nevada and Alaska). The Ravens made their deepest run in the tournament last season, advancing to the semifinals. They lost to eventual champion Desert Vista (Tempe, Ariz.).
“The field is brutal,” Haas said. “The caliber of teams and the quality of volleyball is so high, just making it to the top 16 will be very difficult for any of the San Diego teams, including us. We have no preconceived notions of automatically making it to the top bracket.” The tournament features a team with one of the tallest front lines Haas said he’s ever seen on a high school team. Pleasant Grove (Utah) has one player who’s 6-foot-8, flanked by teammates who are 6-4 and 6-3 on the front line, along with three others who are 6-2 and two six-footers. “We see kids that big, but to have a team stacked with kids like that is unusual,” Haas said. Last year’s Desert Vista team was led by Rachael Kramer, a 6-8 middle blocker who now plays collegiately at Division I Florida. The tournament will be held for a 14th year, and its first with Hudl, a sports software company, as its sponsor. Hudl replaces cheerleading and volleyball apparel company Infinity as the tournament’s lead sponsor. Infinity will continue its sponsorship, Haas said. Hudl software enables users to create highlight reel video that can help streamline recruiting for coaches and help athletes showcase their skills. Haas believes the Hudl partnership will enhance the reputation of the tournament, which he said should help bring in more elite talent. “The exposure for the tournament is obviously beneficial to help bring in more good teams in the future, and the benefit to (Hudl) is that they get their name in front of many different coaches, especially high-level coaches who would be interested in this sort of software,” Haas said. Proceeds from the tournament will help fund uniforms among other expenditures, such as CCA’s team-bonding summer trip to Europe. The Ravens over the summer played in a three-day tournament in Slovenia on a trip that included sightseeing in Italy. “It brings good teams to the area that we get to compete against that we wouldn’t be able to compete against, and it helps us raise money for our program that enables us to do things for our players that maybe other programs wouldn’t be able to do,” Haas said.

RSF Tennis Club hires new activities director, pro shop manager The Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club has hired Matt Previdi as its tennis activities director and pro shop manager. “Matt has the skills, experience, and personality that will fit well within the club membership, as well as the entire pro and front desk staff,” said Dave Van Den Berg, tennis club president. Previdi worked at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club for five years as an assistant tennis pro and the ladies league coordinator. In 2010, the San Diego division of the U.S. Matt Professional Tennis Association Previdi awarded him the “Pro Of The Year.” Previdi is a high performance coach and has extensive experience coaching nationally-ranked juniors. He was the men’s tennis coach at La Jolla High School from 2009 until this year. Under Previdi, the team went on to a five-season, 85-11 record with four league championships, two consecutive CA Interscholastic Federation titles and a third place finish in the National HS All-American Tournament. “Being in and around tennis comes so naturally to
me. My father is a coach, my mother has run tennis clubs, and my brother and I grew up at our parents’ club. I was born into the tennis industry and there is no career I would rather have,” Previdi said. In 2010, Previdi and his father Bill (a tennis professional in Connecticut for the past 30 years) pioneered “The Previdi System,” a doubles system geared towards adults who want to master the art of doubles. In addition, Previdi has a custom racket service which offers customized packages that fit all levels. SOLINCO, a high performance tennis equipment company, hired Previdi in 2009 as a master racquet technician and resident equipment expert. His love of racket customization and modern string theory has led him to string for tennis great Rafael Nadal, Francesca Schiavone and Sloane Stephens. Previdi has also led seminars for the USPTA. “I am thrilled to be part of the team at the RSF Tennis Club. The pro staff here at RSF are of the highest level and run so many amazing programs from beginner to high performance,” Previdi said, noting he will have the opportunity to concentrate on the operations of the club and the Pro Shop.
“Head pros Derek Miller and Dophie Poiset, along with pros Christian Groh, Allison DeNike and James Conda, bring the highest level of training and instruction in the area. Derek has the energy and passion that radiates throughout our club. Dophie has been a pillar at the club for 30 plus years. I believe that our managing and training styles will complement each other and really move the club forward in an exciting direction. The pro staff here is the best I have seen and it is an honor to be part of the team.” Previdi has many ideas for helping the club operate more efficiently and effectively, from servicing the membership to adding exciting new programs and events. “I intend to fully realize the tennis club’s mission statement which states, ‘…we are 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,’” Previdi said. “It’s an exciting time here at the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club. I truly look forward to my new position at the club and in the community.” – Submitted press release
OPINION: OUR READERS WRITE San Dieguito – Lack of class size maximums was not a wise decision The California Teachers Association considers the use of pupil/teacher ratios an essential contract provision and has taken the position that smaller class sizes are “key to improving student learning”in all grades because they allow“ for the optimum development of a student’s potential and ensure individual attention to each student.” Yet our board majority approved a teachers’ contract for the San Dieguito Union High School District that does not contain teacher/pupil ratios to protect our students’ class sizes. Is this a problem? Yes, according to parents whose children are now in classes with 40+ students in them. The national average for secondary classes is approximately 26.8 per the National Center for Education Statistics. In our district, the average class size for our high schools is already in the mid 30s and per the master schedule for this year, many of our classes are now in the 40s. On page 89 of the current contract, there is a sample “compliant” teaching schedule with a Spanish class of 58 students. A principal recently sent out a letter acknowledging that the larger classes were taking their “toll” on students and that the larger class sizes would be addressed. And, on a back to school night, a teacher shared that temporary seating had to be brought in for students. But class sizes are still in the 40s. Parents are now being told that the teachers “welcome the larger sizes,” but it’s not just a teacher issue. I tried to resolve this issue with the union president through emails, and urged the school board to amend the contract through a public comment, yet no action was taken. I then met with an
administrator and was told that there was some thought that, at least with respect to AP classes, students should be able to handle the larger classes sizes because it is supposed to be college level instruction. But, our students are not in college. Students get to select colleges based upon their learning needs, many colleges actually have classes smaller than what we’re offering our high school students, and colleges offer free teacher and teacher’s aide hours outside of class for additional and individualized help. Regardless, shouldn’t the parents and students have had more opportunity for input before the class size maximums were eliminated? Larger classes affect our students’ ability to participate in the limited lab space in science classes, ability to participate verbally in class, obtain individualized attention and much more. Let’s make sure that the next teachers contract is not approved without pupil/teacher ratios, that there are more transparent discussions about the contract terms generally, and that there is more notice to the public when something this important is eliminated or changed.

Thank you, parents! We are fortunate to live in a community with enthusiastic parental support of our schools. The San Dieguito Union High School District would not be the highest performing district in the county if it were not for your involvement. I would like to thank all of our parents who have contributed to our five parent foundations, the four Parent, Teacher & Student Associations, and each of the Associated Student Body organizations. Our students and teachers value your generosity which supplements our outstanding academic, artistic, and athletic programs.
Please consider volunteering for a committee or leadership role in a parent organization. It’s a rewarding way to connect with teachers, administrators and other parents at your student’s school. You might not know that San Dieguito Union High School District actually receives less funding per student than our local elementary districts despite middle and high school programs typically costing more to operate. I don’t have enough space here to explain the complicated nature of California school funding, but I can say we would not be able to provide the same opportunities our community demands without the support of our parent groups. The table below shows the amount of Local Control Funding Formula or Property Tax per student (average daily attendance) for local districts in the recently concluded 2015-16 school year: District 2015-16 San Dieguito Union High School District $7,895 Cardiff Elementary School District $10,498 Del Mar Union School District $9,714 Encinitas Union School District $8,358 Rancho Santa Fe School District $3,161 Solana Beach School District $11,609 We do a lot with a lot less. We are grateful for everything our parents do to help provide a world-class public education for our students. On a final note, I would like to caution our parents to be careful when donating to online fundraising (crowdfunding) sites. Crowdfunding sites can appear to be raising money for schools, but actually have no relationship to the official school-connected foundations, PTSAs or ASBs. These sites may also charge high commissions which erode the value of your contributions. If you have any questions concerning the legitimacy of an online fundraising campaign, please contact your school or donate directly to the official foundation/PTSA/ASB.

when they were in fourth grade, the students went from 45 percent to 55 percent above standard in writing. In research and inquiry, the fifth graders went from 34 percent above standard to 68 percent above standard this year. Middle school Principal Garrett Corduan said he was very pleased to see the middle school’s scores when they came in from the state. At the beginning of last year he and the middle school teachers put a plan in place and set the goal for 90 percent of Rowe students to achieve the standard met or standard exceeded score in literacy and math. The plan included teacher-guided meetings with parents, a teacher and student mentoring program and testing schedule changes.

Corduan said the sixth, seventh and eighth grade students made significant growth in all categories of both language arts and math. Overall, 92 percent of middle school students scored in the standard met and standard exceeded category for language arts. In the math category, 90 percent of the middle school students achieved a standard met or standard exceeded score. “There is no doubt that the students at R. Roger Rowe School receive an outstanding education. We are fortunate to have high-achieving students,” Corduan said. “At the same time, these test results are only one indication of the many ways our students benefit from exceptional teachers that are dedicated to their students.” Looking ahead to next year, the principals’ goals
remain to achieve that 90 percent standard met or exceeded target, to review curriculum and instruction at fourth grade, develop a math intervention class for sixth grade and add a math intervention specialist for kindergarten through fifth grade students. One area where the district has sought to find a balance is in the actual time of the testing. The computer-adaptive test takes about seven to seven-and-a-half hours.

Local youngsters come up big at Pan-Am Championships Six Taekwondo students from Church’s Martial Arts take titles in Uruguay BY CHRIS SAUR While six kids from the same North County martial arts studio combining to win 15 titles and several other medals at the Pan American Taekwondo Championships last month in Uruguay is an incredible accomplishment, the most impressive part is that no one in the taekwondo world was surprised. That’s because the six athletes — 13-year-old Cameron Twomey, James Knee (12), Kane Church (12), Grace Dabir (10), Luke Knee (10) and Channah Zeitung (8) — train with Senior Master Ken Church at Church’s ATA Martial Arts, with locations in Carmel Valley and Encinitas. Church’s students (there are nearly 900 of them currently) are the most decorated in the United States, if not worldwide. Since Church’s wife, Patricia, joined to complement Ken’s teaching in 2002, the school has averaged more than 20 world titles per year, including posting 33 this season. But for the Churches, it’s about more than winning titles, it is about preparing their students to succeed at life. “All of the different championships, they are a small thing,” said Ken Church, a seventh-degree black belt and former world champion who was inducted into the American Taekwondo Association Hall of
Fame in 2012. “The bigger picture is understanding what martial arts training can really do, (learning to) overcome challenges and be great.” The World Championships are held in Little Rock, Ark., each summer, but the competition at the Pan American Championships might be even more fierce as many of the world’s top performers live in South America and don’t always have the means to travel to Arkansas. “It takes a certain amount of confidence to be able to go to a South American country (and compete),” Ken Church said. “That’s why my son (Kane, for instance) goes annually to the Pan Ams, to make sure that he is fighting the best guys in the world.” Kane Church, a second degree black belt who attends Horizon Prep in Rancho Santa Fe, was a silver medalist in Sparring at the recent Pan Am Championships after winning a world title in Arkansas a few months earlier. The master’s son has won multiple world titles. Twomey led the local sextet with six gold medals at the Pan Ams, which were contested at the Punta Este Convention and Exhibition Center Sept. 9-11 in Punta del Este, Uruguay. Competing in her second Pan Am Championships, the Carmel Valley Middle School student took titles in Traditional Forms, Weapons (Kamas), Sparring, Creative Forms, Creative Weapons (Kamas) and Extreme Weapons (Kamas). Zeitung, meanwhile, won five golds — in Traditional Forms, Weapons (Bo Staff), Extreme Weapons (Bo Staff) and Creative

Six students from the local Church’s ATA Martial Arts studio — back row from left, Cameron Twomey, instructor Patricia Church and Kane Church; middle row from left, James Knee, Grace Dabir and Luke Knee; front, Channah Zeitung — won titles at the recent Pam American Taekwondo Championships in Uruguay. Forms and Weapons (Bo Staff) — and added two silvers. The Carmel Del Mar Elementary school student is a first degree black belt who appeared on Katie Couric’s show at age 4, when she was believed to be the youngest martial artist to perform on TV. Zeitung is ranked first in the world among black belts ages 8 and under.
Also among the 1,430 athletes from 20 countries competing at the Pan American Championships was Dabir, a first degree black belt who captured gold medals in Traditional Forms and Weapons (single Nunchuck) and fought her way to a bronze in Sparring. Dabir attends Notre Dame Academy in San Diego. Pan Am competitors had to qualify in their age division and be ranked in the top 10 in the world to earn the berth. The Knee brothers each met that criteria, then each brought home championships as James, a second degree black belt who goes to Earl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach, won a title in Traditional Forms as did Luke, a first degree black belt and student at Del Mar Heights Elementary. “They all did great, they worked really, really hard,” said Ken Church. “You think about it, they traveled 14 or 17 hours to get there depending which way they went. The fortitude of these individuals is immense, the way they represent the country, their families and themselves. “The experience is priceless.” Patricia Church added: “Attending international championships such as the Pan Am in Uruguay provides the opportunity for our children to learn about different cultures while still representing their own country.” And it was a team effort as the six kids cheered each other on and even gathered for an impromptu training session in their hotel ballroom the night before the event, helping each other practice.

I believe that will happen.” Following the termination of the letter of intent, Finkelson said they will form a new technology committee dedicated to bringing the fiber-optic project to fruition “as soon as possible.” The committee will be appointed at a special board meeting on Oct. 13. In May, the RSF Association signed the $13.5 million letter of intent to bring a one-gigabit to 10-gigabit speed fiber-optic network to every home in the Covenant, promising to make Rancho Santa Fe “the most connected community in the country.” Under the terms of the deal, the RSF Association would own the physical

The idea, Jaffe said, is for students to get a solid arts foundation at the elementary and middle school level. “Students who want to pursue the arts will be really prepped when they hit the high school environment,” Jaffe said, noting every high school student is required to have one year of visual or performing arts in order to go to college. Jaffe also noted the importance of an arts education and how it can boost student achievement in other academic areas.
infrastructure in the ground; however, the network would be operated and managed by Hotwire. The RSF Association would also receive a return on its investment through revenue-sharing with Hotwire. Consultants had been helping the RSF Association negotiate documents that would’ve gone into the agreement with Hotwire, such as the construction contract, terms of service, financing, maintenance, revenue splits and service offerings. Marketing and outreach began over the summer, with a goal to gain interest from 1,200 subscribers. The RSF Association had targeted October for a community-wide vote on the project. Wasserman said the board continues to get numerous calls from residents frustrated by the lack of service in the Covenant. He gave examples of one resident who built a $5 million house but has virtually no
connectivity; another resident told him that they moved into their home on Zumaque five months ago, have no service and do not want to start a remodel of the home until they’re assured they will get some connectivity. During public comment two residents spoke about how a fiber-optic network needs to remain a priority in the Covenant, lifting the community “out of the dark ages.” Residents talked about how essential connectivity has become to conduct business out of the home, for the increasing online aspect of their children’s education and for entertainment as more and more people opt to stream television and movies through high-speed Internet. Many in the community do not have these options. Wasserman agreed that the issue is a high-priority for the RSF Association. “This is a very, very important process and we’ll keep you informed as we go along,” Wasserman said.

Do you agree with the way the San
FROM NASCENZI, A5 2. How would you propose to address those issues? I would work to replace the board’s partisan politics with a culture of consensus building; each issue should be decided based on its benefit to students, not its politics. As an executive, I’ve always valued open-minded curiosity, rational analysis, and diverse collaboration as better decision-making tools than pre-conceived ideologies. These are the same tools our top-flight schools teach our children. I’d also like to see more engagement with the community. If we can pull parents and citizens closer to the decision-making process, we’ll have a more responsive, accountable board that puts students first.
No, I don’t. The board needs to become fiscally responsible, independent and balance the needs of students, parents, teachers administrators and taxpayers. The board needs to utilize a definitive process to review contracts, provide the public with opportunities to review agreements, solicit the view of district lawyers and financial personnel and consider the needs of all district constituents. The board also needs to develop and adhere to a code of ethics and fair play for all of its board members which guarantees that all of its members will have an equal opportunity to have its views heard without interruption or undue influence form third parties. educators and community alike. Unfortunately the recent, relentless, spreading of misinformation, half-truths and the misinterpretation of actual facts seem aimed at devaluing the district and derailing its goals. While there is always room for improvement in any endeavor, if we were actually as imperfect as we are reported to be – well, we would not be the outstanding school district that we all know SDUHSD to be. of divisiveness has been counterproductive. Examples include misstatements regarding class size average maximums, which have remained the same in our high schools and decreased in our middle schools. Incorrect claims were also made stating that the district was facing bankruptcy when we have healthy reserves both for in current and multi-year projections. All board members need recognize that students are our priority and get things done. Dieguito Union High School District operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made. The two incumbents, one with 20 years (5 terms) and the other with 12 years (3 terms), have lost their objectivity and underestimate student needs. •A master contract must have class size maximums and no open-ended salary guarantees. • The district must pay for funding of materials and supplies and all courses in our schools when multi-million dollar surpluses exist. •The historic underperformance of certain student sub-groups must be more effectively addressed and not overshadowed by the successes of our outstanding students. •As a parent of a child in the district, I am affected, accessible and accountable.
3. Do you agree with the way the San Dieguito Union High School District operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made. As a father of four boys who’ve been through the district, I couldn’t be prouder of the work our teachers, administrators and staff do for our students. As a member of the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee, I’ve been particularly impressed with the efficiency and transparency in the way in which district staff has managed Prop AA funds and projects. I would, however, like to see more communication and transparency from the board — most folks are in the dark about board activities. At the least, the board might create a quarterly electronic newsletter outlining district issues, recent board decisions, upcoming action items, and the like.

Young novelist Lily Nilipour publishes second book
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School senior Lily Nilipour has released her second novel, “An Echo over the Trees,” a thoughtful collection of stories. “Movement is distracting, it twirls and spirals and comes and goes. It jumps around and never stays in the same place, It blossoms with joy and slices with a knife,” writes Lily in the synopsis of the book. “These are the stories of people and their movement. They are ordinary but they traverse timelines and dimension with ease and just like movement, as soon as you lose track of them, you will miss something.” Like her first book, “Don’t Mistake the Ashes for Dust,” that Lily published in 2014, this book was spurred on by National Novel Writing Month. In the month of November, authors are encouraged to pen 50,000 words. The “NaNoWriMo” program helps students with support from fellow writers and develops a way to track their progress, create a schedule for work and earn personal achievement badges. While Lily wrote her first 50,000-word novel in one month, this second effort was completed over the course of two busy years, building on the work she started in November 2014. She took breaks between Novembers and spent a lot of time
COURTESY
Lily Nilipour and her second book “An Echo over the Trees.” writing over spring breaks and throughout the summer. The result was some 90,000 words and the new 250-page novel. “This book is a little different than the first book. There’s no supernatural elements or fantasy and instead of one long story, it’s nine shorter stories with recurring characters,” Lily said. Of the nine stories in the book, one of her favorites is “So Much Gray So
Much Gray.” In it a bus driver meets a kid and they go on an adventure. She is also proud of “Walk on Water, II , Toes,” a backstory to an earlier story in the book, telling the tale about a girl and her treehouse. “I really enjoyed writing them all,” Lily said. “There might not be more writing to come because I’m working on college applications. It took awhile to write and re-write and edit this book. It was a big working project I had in mind…after that I don’t have any creative inspiration that’s new!” While she may be taking a break from novels, Lily is still writing — she is the sports editor and co-news editor of the student newspaper, “The Falconer,” and has a job writing for Prep2Prep, a website that allows high school students to explore a career in sports journalism, reporting on local athletes and being mentored by professional journalists. She also competes on the varsity tennis team. Lily hopes to study English or history in college and while she does not know yet where her journey will take her next, she knows creative writing will always be a part of her story. “An Echo over the Trees” is available on amazon.com. November and 2016’s National Novel Writing Month is just a few weeks away. Aspiring novelists can find out more at nanowrimo.org.

Omri Schein, David Ellenstein, Christopher M. Williams, Amanda Sitton and Phil Johnson in ‘Laughter on the 23rd Floor’ at North Coast Repertory Theater
See ‘Laughter On The 23rd Floor’: It’s better than a hit in the head! BY DIANA SAENGER Fans of Neil Simon’s plays have a treat in store as North Coast Repertory Theatre is staging his “Laughter On The 23rd Floor,” which opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Nov. 22, 1993, and closed on Aug. 27, 1994 after 320 performances. Tom Markus (who has directed more than 125 plays including classics, premieres, comedies and dramas Off-Broadway and for regional theatres and Shakespeare festivals) said he was happy to accept the offer to direct this one because “all the humor is crazy and it’s by Simon and his brother, Danny, about the TV show ‘Your Shows of Shows’ that focuses on comedians such as Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks, Cal Reiner and others. I love Simon’s work and I was lucky to appear in eight of his plays as an actor or director.” Although Markus was not a part of the casting, he said he’s very excited that Brent Alters, Caroline Drage, David Ellenstein, Phil Johnson, Louis Lotorto, Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper, Omri Schein, Amanda Sitton and Christopher M. Williams are strong performers and make a great contribution to happy times. “This broad comedy is, in a sense, a memory play because it’s Simon’s memory, or something similar to his memory, of his experiences as a writer on Sid Caesar’s variety-comedy series (in the 1950s),” Markus said. “So interpreting the
play is really a matter of finding the balance between a believable world and an extension or inflation of that world for comic purposes. We tried very hard to make the characters plausible, but they do such outrageous things and say such outrageous things that it brings the comedy out of real human experience.” American playwright Marvin Neil Simon (born July 4, 1927) began his writing career after serving in the Army Air Force Reserve and graduating high school. He’s written more than 30 scripts and nearly the same number of movie screenplays, mostly adaptations of his plays. He has received several Oscar and Tony nominations and a Pulitzer Prize. “Simon continues to remain one of the most popular writers in America because his humor is tied to how we behave,” Markus opined. “We laugh with and at ourselves at the same we watch him take real situations and push them larger than reality until they become funny. He has an inordinate talent for that.” Markus said he wants the audience to leave the theater sharing the experience of a well done play. “It’s better to laugh than get hit in the head,” he said laughing. ■ IF YOU GO: “Laughter On The 23rd Floor” takes the stage Oct. 19-Nov. 13 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $39. (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org

City Ballet of San Diego’s 24th Anniversary Season Gala set for Oct. 22 BY KRISTINA HOUCK City Ballet of San Diego’s 24th Anniversary Season Gala is set for Saturday, Oct. 22 at Hotel del Coronado. With proceeds benefitting City Ballet’s education and outreach programs, organizers hope the annual event will raise awareness and funds to connect more of San Diego’s children with the arts. “I admire their outreach to schools and to others who can’t afford a sport like this,” said Del Mar’s Dr. Bettie Youngs, who serves on City Ballet’s Board of Directors. “Most ballet companies don’t have that outreach.” Led by Steven and Elizabeth Wistrich, City Ballet of San Diego will soon kick off its 24th season of ballet in San Diego with “Esmeralda and the Hunchback” Nov. 4-6 at Spreckels Theatre. In addition to full seasons of ballet concerts, City Ballet offers a school for children and adults, as well as education and outreach programs that reach more than 10,000 schoolchildren annually offering in-theater performances and all-school assemblies. City Ballet’s variety of programs include “Ballet Goes to School,” a program that brings ballet performances to local schools, as well as “Discover a Dancer,” a 30-week residency program for at-risk youth. The program culminates with a school assembly for peers and family members.
“We support a good number of kids that could never ever be able to afford ballet lessons,” Youngs said. “The goal is athleticism, activity, strength and leadership.” A Pulitzer Prize-nominated author, Youngs has served on City Ballet’s board for nearly a year. She was introduced to the organization through her work with the Fuller Center for Housing in San Diego, where she serves as executive director. She formerly taught at San Diego State University and has published 34 books translated into 26 languages. Dedicated to supporting City Ballet, Youngs has been very involved in organizing this year’s gala. She connected City Ballet with actress and singer Lesley Ann Warren, this year’s celebrity honorary chairwoman. Warren began her career as a ballet dancer, training at the School of American Ballet. Youngs also reached out to Mali Digius, owner of Del Mar-based Diamond Boutique, who designed and created an original silver and diamond ballet pendant. Priced at $7,500, the pendant will be auctioned off at the event. She also worked with designer and former actress Natashia Williams-Blach, owner of SEA&POSH. Williams-Blach created a “caged” onyx druzy neck garland that will also be auctioned off at the event. “I enjoy working with an organization that strives for excellence,” said Youngs, who has

Spooktacular Dressage Show to support Breast Cancer Angels Oct. 29-30 BY KAREN BILLING Crackerjack Productions will again present the “hauntingly fun” Spooktacular Halloween Dressage Show on Oct. 29-30 at the Del Mar Horsepark. The event features the fun-filled Spooktacular Relay sponsored by Horse and Rider Boutique, a costume musical freestyle exhibition, the National Dressage Pony Cup Show Championship and the popular How’lin Dog Costume Contest. “It was one of the largest shows that we had last year, and we’re planning for it to be just as big this year,” said Lisa Blaufuss, owner of Crackerjack Productions. The public is invited to enter the third annual How’lin Dog Costume Contest, which will be held on Sunday, Oct. 30. Check-in begins at 11 a.m. for the 12:30 p.m. parade. The contest will have divisions for small and large dogs with categories such as best-matched pair, scariest, funniest and most creative, plus one overall best of contest winner. All proceeds from the contest’s $10 entry fee will support the FACE Foundation, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance for pet owners who are unable to afford the cost of their pets’ emergency veterinary care. “They have helped a lot of families and pets in San Diego,”
Blaufuss said. In addition to the costume contest, there will also be a track and nose work demonstration by David Greene, an international working dog trainer and behavior modification expert. Popular animal communication expert Marsha Ruether will also be on hand to do readings. “People can find out what their dog is thinking about,” Blaufuss said. While there is lots of fun and festivities and horses and riders decked out in costume on Saturday, Spooktacular is still a national, triple-rated dressage show with high-quality riders, horses and trainers. Several Rio Olympians are expected to compete. Every year, Spooktacular has donated a portion of its proceeds back to a breast cancer nonprofit. One in six women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, and Blaufuss said it’s important for women to talk about it and support each other, especially in the dressage world, where the sport is 90 percent women. The beneficiary of this year’s Spooktacular is Breast Cancer Angels. “Breast Cancer Angels raises money for women going through
Lisa Blaufuss and Crystal Reinick at a past Spooktacular. breast cancer treatment and helps with things like groceries, gas cards and co-pays. If women are dealing with end-of-life issues, they donate attorneys to help out with a will. It’s just helping with things that a lot of people don’t even think about,” Blaufuss said. For Blaufuss, the cause is close to her heart. She rode and competed for years until she was sidelined by a back injury and next by breast cancer, which was diagnosed in 2010.
COURTESY
Rather than ride, she turned her focus to equestrian event management and founded Crackerjack Productions in 2011. She has since built up successful and popular shows for the California Dressage Society’s San Diego Chapter circuit. Unfortunately, Blaufuss, the survivor, continues to fight — she is undergoing chemotherapy as her cancer returned as stage four. She will undergo a brutal round of treatment weeks before
Spooktacular. “I call it the shock-and-awe treatment,” she said. “At stage four, you manage it just like heart disease or diabetes. You’re just trying to get it to go to sleep for awhile.” Blaufuss said she is grateful and blessed that throughout her cancer fight she has had the support of the entire dressage community and the Friends of Lisa, a group that helps fundraise for her costly treatments. “They were my angels,” Blaufuss said. “For me, this is about paying it forward for others.” In one of her breast cancer support groups, Blaufuss recalled one women saying, “I’m just done,” completely defeated because she couldn’t afford to get gas to get to her treatment. “These are the things that go on with women faced with treatments and dealing with this horrible disease. Nothing can be scarier than not being able to afford your treatments. It’s so stressful, and breast cancer is the kind of disease that stress really feeds it,” Blaufuss said. “The reason I chose Breast Cancer Angels is they give back 100 percent to the community and it’s really a beautiful thing. It just touches my heart.” For more information on Spooktacular, visit crackerjackproductionsllc.com

UDO NÖGER Light is permanent and yet always different. – (Dr.) Tayfun Belgin
Madison Galler y presents German artist Udo Nöger ’s solo exhibition, No More – No Less. Nöger works in a minimalist tradition, reducing ever ything he does “ to a point where there is no more, no less ”— a statement that captures the delicate balance anchoring his pared-down aesthetic. This quest toward a conscientious reduction of visual information, however, plays a supporting role in the artist ’s primar y cause: light. In Nöger ’s art light enters into the painting, illuminating the forms and then returning to the surrounding space that is its source. The paintings media is oil and acr ylic on layered canvas and fabric, which trap the light so as to transform it and send it back. Through his singular approach and unique suite of mediums, Nöger is ‘able to set the sur face free’ to get the purest light possible. The innovative construction draws viewers in while at the same time requiring them to step back, refocus, and reconsider. Udo’s works are part of numerous permanent public collections including Metropolitan Museum, NY; The Art Institute of Chicago, IL; Daum Museum of Contemporar y Art, Sedalia, MO; Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Bielefeld, Germany; Haus der Kunst, Munich, Germany; Margulies Collection, Miami, FL; Microsoft, Chicago; Microsoft, San Francisco; Red Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, NV; and Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas, NV.
The Opening Reception will feature an artist lecture led by acclaimed art critic, poet and curator Peter Frank, Associate Editor of Fabrik magazine. Frank has contributed to many publications including the Huffington Post, The Village Voice, and LA Weekly and has written numerous catalogues for major exhibitions. He has worked curatorially with such institutions as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, and Documenta in Kassel, Germany, and has taught at several prestigious institutions including the Pratt Institute, Columbia University ’s School of the Arts, and University of California campuses in Ir vine, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara. Founded in 2001, Madison Galer y 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 galler y consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporar y art. Madison Galler y works closely in building private, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporar y galleries in California. Blouin Modern Painters Magazine has recognized our program for the fourth year in a row as one of the Top 500 galleries worldwide.

What to Expect During Your Home Build Throughout this column, we’ve discussed the various steps of the building process, from finding your contractor and building your team to the selection of your finish materials. As we wrap up this series, I want to list a few key elements of the process to help you avoid any surprises during the construction of your home. Keep in mind: Some contractors and builders can help you with the design, while others want you to come in with plans. Each builder will have a different style or specialty, but just because some builders don’t design doesn’t mean they won’t deliver on the final product. However, you do want your
contractor to be fully licensed, bonded and insured. If you have a chance to see examples of their finished projects, this can help you make a confident decision. When making a plan with your builder and staying involved throughout the construction process, you can still expect surprises. Have you ever heard the phrase “expect the unexpected”? This phrase certainly applies to building a house. The best way to plan for the unexpected is to know the general ins and outs of the building process. Here is a list of considerations and potential areas for surprise. Construction Loans If you apply for a construction loan, you’ll have to have copies of the floor plans and specs from your builder or architect so the mortgage lender can appraise the home to determine how much they will lend. It’s common to make a down payment, or a personal guarantee, and the sum can be significant. Also, keep in mind that the appraisal and credit checks will come with fees, as well as title insurance on the land and homeowner’s insurance. The Budget Cushion

It’s always best to have a full budget in mind with plenty of cushion. This is especially true for those taking out a home construction loan. It’s not uncommon for projects to go over budget (this is why we recommend to have a contingency built in between 10% to 15%). An experienced builder will factor in the budget allowances of design elements such as cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixtures. However, these allowances do not always account for homes with many custom and high-end features and add-ons. I recommend discussing with your construction team the level of finishes you expect so they can input the proper allowances for your taste. It would also be smart to provide examples of the quality of work and styles of finishes you’re expecting. Quality Builders All builders are not of the same quality. Some lower-end builders will have lower allowances to make their bid seem more affordable. What you don’t want is for your builder to skimp on the important foundational and structural elements of your home, compromising the house’s integrity.
This tends to happen more with lessexperienced and less-reputable builders. This is why researching your team and seeing the quality of previous projects is vital. The best way to stick to your budget is having a detailed set of plans to bid from. The more information on the plans the more accurate your bid will be. This will help the project to stay on budget with fewer surprises. You generally pay for the work completed in a weekly or bi-weekly installments, based on the work completed to date. Be mindful of contractors who try to front load a project, and always ask for the backup documents. Permits and Other Fees You may be aware of some of the permit fees your project will require (most people are aware of building permits, for instance). However, there are separate permits for public improvements, work in the right of way, SDGE upgrades, swimming pools, etc. Column continued at http://www.lajollalight.com/ourcolumns/sponsored-columnists/sdljlWhat-to-Expect-During-Your-HomeBuild-2016aug18-story.html
