BY KAREN BILLING Since September, the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy’s Fairbanks Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe Invasive Plant Removal and Stream Enhancement Project has been going strong, working to remove highly flammable and invasive plants such as Arundo donax (giant cane), that have infested the area along the river, leading to increased fire risk and degrading the native habitat. Following the Witch Creek Fire in 2007, the invasive non-native vegetation like Arundo, eucalyptus, tamarisk, pampas grass and palm trees have grown back in greater numbers between the communities of Fairbanks Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe and the project is a huge collaborative undertaking to reduce those potential fire hazards. The project has been ongoing since 2015, starting at first with just 10 acres, said

American Conservation Experience volunteers work to take down a huge stand of Arundo in Rancho Santa Fe. Jack Hughes, conservation manager for the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. Since then, several private landowners have signed on and the project area has expanded to over 168 acres. “A big part of what we’re doing is removing invasive plants and allowing natives to grow which act as a natural fire break,” Hughes said.
The goal is to remove all substantial stands of these invasive species by 2022. The project is a partnership between the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, the California Native Plant Society, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, the Fairbanks Ranch Association, the Rancho Santa Fe Association, Rancho Santa SEE PLANTS, A29
BY KAREN BILLING Every day on Paseo Delicias/Del Dios Highway in Rancho Santa Fe, hundreds of cars and commuters are stacked and stranded, backed up by stop signs. Rancho Santa Fe resident Ronald Rich said that the traffic on Del Dios is “intolerable” and is getting worse every week. “Del Dios is now a major county thoroughfare as more cars hit the roads yet nothing has been done to relieve the delays,” Rich said. “Nothing but years of ‘studies’ and pontification.” Rich and the other commuters who face the daily traffic jams are wondering how much longer they will have to wait for the three proposed Del Dios roundabouts to provide some relief, to keep the traffic flowing during those peak hours. It may be a while. “The project has been designed, but there is no funding for purchasing required right-of-way or construction,” said Jessica Northrup, the county’s communication officer for the land use and environment group. “Once funds are identified, such as state or federal grants, the project can move forward.” The construction cost is estimated about $7 million, which does not include eminent domain fees. In May 2015, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved traffic signals over roundabouts for the intersections of Via de la Valle, El Montevideo and El Camino del Norte, however, public opposition to the board’s decision led to a community-wide survey in the fall in which 73 percent voted in favor of roundabouts. The board then forwarded its request to the county for roundabouts instead in November 2015. Last year the county requested $60,000 from the RSF Association to update the project’s environmental impact report (EIR), which had “gone stale.” The cost of the refresh was $75,000 of which the county had $15,000 remaining for the project. Northrup said the final EIR was finally certified by the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors on Oct. 19, 2016. Rancho Santa Fe Association Manager Bob Hall said he has had multiple conversations with the county about getting the roundabouts in the Department of Public Works’ capital improvement program (CIP). “We do talk about it regularly,” Hall said. “At this point in time it is one of our priorities and we continue to talk to the county about moving it up the priority list but in the current CIP, it is not funded.” The Association’s long history with this project goes back to about 15 years. A Covenant-wide meeting in 2003 resulted in the Association submitting a request for roundabouts to the county, and the next year the Association contributed SEE DEL DIOS, A28

Rancho Santa Fe resident to compete in Miss California Teen USA pageant A Rancho Santa Fe resident has been selected to represent the City of Angels in the upcoming the Miss California Teen USA pageant. Kianoosh Jafari, a 17-year-old honors student at San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas, will compete in the pageant in Long Beach from Dec. 1 to Dec. 3. The winner of the competition will go on to compete for the Miss Teen USA title at the national Miss USA competition. Kianoosh is on her school's varsity speech and debate team and competes in Lincoln-Douglas morality debates across California. She is also treasurer of her school's "Sweet Friends" type one diabetes support group and leads a nonprofit organization called Noosh's Pause for Paws that raises funds for local animal shelters. The lifelong San Diego native recently discussed her aspirations for becoming the next Miss Teen USA. For more information about the Miss Teen USA competition, visit misscaliforniausa.com. How were you selected to compete in this pageant? I competed in an official Miss California Teen USA preliminary pageant called Miss City of Angels Teen USA where I was fortunate enough to take home the crown and sash out of dozens of other girls. As a contestant, I competed in activewear, evening gown, a personal interview and onstage questions, all of which were compiled to create a final score. The contestant with the highest score received the title of Miss City of Angels Teen USA and my entry fee for the state pageant was paid for. What is your history with pageants? How long have you been doing them,
why did you get involved and why do you enjoy doing them? I have been competing in pageants for about two years now. As a child, I had always wanted to enter a pageant, but lacked the confidence to do so. However, one day I decided to take the risk and enter a pageant. Ever since, I have completely fallen in love with them. I love the confidence and important life skills they teach women. Not only that, but my public speaking skills have improved greatly, allowing me to apply theses skill to other aspects of my life. Whether it be through school, speech and debate or college interviews, pageants encourage me to be the best version of myself that I can possibly be. Why should you win? The crown and sash of Miss California Teen USA are not just beautiful accessories to me. They represent an opportunity to promote important causes all across the state of California. One cause that is very near and dear to my heart is my nonprofit organization, Noosh’s Pause for Paws, where I collect new and used blankets, towels, sheets and other goods that animals need and distribute them amongst animal shelters in Los Angeles and San Diego. With the title of Miss California Teen USA, I would be able to reach a much larger audience, thus allowing me to gain more donations and help more animals in need. When and why did you start this nonprofit? What's your goal with the nonprofit? How much have you raised so far? After begging my mother for a dog for 14 years, she finally allowed me to adopt one. Not long after adopting my dog Oliver, my view
Kianoosh Jafari
IRMA LOMIDZE
towards animals changed forever. Oliver has allowed me to witness first-hand the love and happiness that pets can provide. This love for animals has inspired me to start my own nonprofit organization, Noosh’s Pause for Paws. My ultimate goal is to provide animals with comfort and hope during their times of need. Through the thousands of donations I have distributed to shelters, I have been able to do exactly that and hope to expand my nonprofit and help as many animals as possible.
You're involved in a type one diabetes club at school. Why is this important to you? I have been the treasurer of a type one diabetes support group called Sweet Friends for approximately three years now. I am involved in this club because both my father and my best friend as well as a few other students at my school have type one diabetes. Through this club, I am able to learn more about type one diabetes and how I can support those who are affected by it. In addition, through the “Sweet Friends” club, we have been able to raise over $1,000 for the JDRF type one diabetes research organization, allowing us to come one step closer towards finding a cure. This has been one of the many contributions I have made to support my loved ones suffering from type one diabetes as well as others affected by the disease What other extracurricular activities are you involved in? I am heavily involved with my school’s Speech and Debate team where I compete in Lincoln-Douglas morality debates. In these types of debates, I am given a hypothetical moral issue and must argue for or against the topic with very little time to prepare. Through my onstage questions at pageants, I have learned to think and respond on the spot to similar topics but in front of larger audiences. I feel that this has further improved my confidence and speaking in debates. What or who do you hope to represent by winning Miss California Teen USA? If given the opportunity to become the next Miss California Teen USA, I would love to be a representative for animals in need. There are SEE PAGEANT, A29

RSF’s Strauss family gives UC San Diego $1 million to help develop a cancer vaccine Rancho Santa Fe residents Iris and Matthew Strauss hold a great deal of respect for the doctors at Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health. When their daughter’s cancer reappeared, it was the first place they turned for help. Because of their experience and trust in the medical and research staff, the couple recently donated $1 million to the University of California San Diego to support a clinical trial over the next year designed to develop personalized cancer vaccines — a breakthrough treatment that could help patients like their daughter fight the disease using their own immune system. “Moores Cancer Center is one of the finest institutions anywhere; their expertise is unparalleled,” said Matthew Strauss. “This vaccine is something new that uses a patient’s own cells. We want to help launch this new breakthrough in medicine and support the greater good.” The Strauss family has supported many initiatives across the UC San Diego campus for nearly three decades. Iris Strauss has been on the Board of Visitors for Moores Cancer Center for several years, and both have been involved in fundraising — most recently for Moores Cancer Center. In 2010, the couple created the Iris and Matthew Strauss Center for Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer after they lost their youngest daughter, Stefanie, to ovarian cancer. The center is dedicated to investigating methods of early detection with a goal of increasing survival rates. Based on research at the center, scientists identified six mRNA isoforms (bits of genetic material) produced by

associate director for Translational Science at Moores Cancer Center. Cohen specializes in immunotherapy, a type of treatment that trains a patient’s immune system to fight cancer in a way that does not damage healthy tissue. “We would not have the resources to translate this science into a clinical trial without the support of Iris and Matthew Strauss,” said Cohen. “This is the first time a trial like this has been done. The idea of a personalized vaccine that can be applied to all types of cancer by activating the immune cells is unprecedented.” Every cancer has a different molecular makeup based on the mutations and other genetic alterations within the tumor cells. And each person’s immune system will respond to different stimuli in disparate ways. In order to make large leaps forward in cancer treatment, Cohen and his team are working to develop a precise vaccine therapy that combines the uniqueness of an individual’s cancer with the particular message needed to activate their immune system to fight the toxic cells. “We are pleased to support this groundbreaking work and hope that our gift will help our community and the world in understanding and treating cancer better,” added Matthew Strauss. Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, the only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in San Diego, is also one of only a few cancer centers in the country with the capability to explore all facets of immunotherapy.

Finding Voices encourages teens to speak up about tough issues BY MICHAEL J. WILLIAMS A digital media marketing consultant by trade, Solana Beach resident Shawn McClondon dedicated his prowess in recent years to helping guide youths and young adults toward career paths. While the efforts of his nonprofit Youth Campaigns have been geared toward San Diego city communities with impoverished enclaves, the 42-year-old father of two sons is now turning his attention to young people in his own town and its neighboring burghs. “Most of my experiences have been in low-income, underserved communities,” McClondon said during a recent interview at a Solana Beach coffee shop. “What I realized is there are issues with young people in affluent communities with all the pressures that they’re under to be successful.” A couple of recent incidents propelled McClondon’s decision to reach out to coastal North County youths, parents and guardians. In the early morning hours of May 6, police officers shot and killed a 15-year-old boy armed with a BB gun on the Torrey Pines High School campus. Later accounts suggest the boy may have been suicidal when he confronted the officers. Then, McClondon said, he helped out a mother in his neighborhood who was undergoing a family crisis. She encouraged him to use his expertise in the community. “She said, ‘I know you work with young people. Do you know if there is something you can do?” Positive responses from an online outreach
(Right) Shawn McClondon effort launched by McClondon led to the formation of Finding Voices with the support of Karena Fassett. McClondon hopes to create a forum through which teens can interact with each other, share their experiences and support each other. “When we talk about the issues teens have, everyone looks at the points of view of parents, counselors and professionals,” he said. “We’re trying to give young people their

voice to basically help each other, so they understand that what they’re going through is the same thing that other young people are going through. Most of these kids experience depression or some sort of isolation or loneliness.” A bout with depression led 16-year-old Natalie Salgado to connect with McClondon and get involved with Finding Voices. She served as one of two teens who led the panel discussion in the group’s first formal
gathering Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Solana Beach Library. “I just want to reach out to other people who have been going through the same things as me and see if I can spark an interest in other people who aren’t suffering from anxiety and depression, and let them know they could do something that would help out others who are,” said Natalie, a resident of Solana Beach’s La Colonia de Eden Gardens. “I want to get the word out there and get rid of the stigma about teen issues,” she said. “People don’t talk about it enough, and it’s just swept under the rug.” Natalie said she didn’t understand what was happening to her early last year when she began feeling so debilitated she stopped going to her classes at Torrey Pines High. “Tenth grade was a hard year for me,” she said. “I took a really big class load, (and) an Advanced Placement class, I was copy editor for the school newspaper and I also played rugby for the school. “All those things were really overwhelming. I just wanted to be a really successful student, but all those things really exhausted me. It came to a point where I just couldn’t get out of bed in the morning.” Thanks to the support of her mother and professional intervention, she returned to health, took online courses to complete her sophomore year and is now tackling her junior year at Coastal Academy High School in Oceanside.

Sports Spotlight: North County female athletic directors BY KEN GROSSE Being a modern day high school athletic director is not a job for the faint-of-heart. Unless you’re an intelligent, competitive, versatile, people person who likes to work long hours and deal with a kaleidoscope of issues, don’t bother applying. There are currently 127 member institutions in the California Interscholastic Federation’s (CIF) San Diego Section. Outside of their personal characteristics, 21 of the 127 athletic directors running those programs, have an added distinction —they are women. Eleven of the 21 oversee larger public school programs and five of those are at North County schools — Kari DiGiulio (La Costa Canyon), Charlenne Falcis-Stevens (Torrey Pines), Amanda Waters (Carlsbad), Peggy Brose, the veteran of the group in her 16th year on the job at Rancho Bernardo, and first-year member of the club, Terri Kilpatrick at Oceanside’s El Camino High School. On average they have more than 25 sports and well over 1,000 student-athletes under their supervision (in Waters’ case, an incredible 1,800 of Carlsbad’s 2,300-person student body compete on an athletic team). Being that it’s 2017, some 45 years since the introduction of Title IX legislation that paved the way for gender equality, that number (21) may seem a bit low. But while the quantity might require further explanation, the quality is unquestionable. DiGiulio, and Falcis-Stevens both direct programs that are perennially among the elite in terms of broad-based success at the highest level. The former won 2016-17 San Diego Female Athletic Director of the Year honors after
LCC teams won 10 league and seven CIF titles. Falcis-Stevens’ Torrey Pines program was named the No. 1 athletic school in the state of California in both 2014-15 and 2015-16. Brose’s Rancho Bernardo squads have captured CIF crowns in an amazing 21 different sports during her tenure. Their daily responsibilities range from coordinating team travel to scheduling, lining up officials, managing home events, facility oversight, grades/eligibility, fund-raising, increasingly challenging parental issues and a plethora of other tasks. They cite time management, organization, flexibility and the willingness to effectively delegate as keys to success. “A typical day? I’m not sure that exists,” says DiGiulio. “The days pass quickly and you never know what will be thrown your way next.” Or, as Brose puts it, “One thing you get used to is starting with a day plan and showing up on site only to have it shot to pieces.” The North County five have a number of similar traits and stories. All were athletes themselves and have been teachers and coaches (most still have a hand in both) at the prep level. Surprisingly, given their accomplishments, the majority had not really spent much thought on a career in athletic administration but wound up there having been identified by colleagues as potential leaders. While Brose, with the support of long-time Rancho Bernardo Athletic Director Mark Oschner and others, actively prepared herself for a potential administrative role while in the midst of an illustrious 28-year basketball coaching career, the path taken by many of her
Kari DiGiulio peers was much more serendipitous. “When the position opened at La Costa Canyon, the superintendent called and asked me to apply,” says DiGiulio, who was at the tail end of an 11-year run as head field hockey coach at Torrey Pines. “He thought I would be a strong candidate but, honestly, I had not considered it until that phone call.” Falcis-Stevens and Waters have relatable stories. “When my principal asked if I was interested in becoming the Athletic Director, I thought, ‘That’s a huge job,’ ” said Falcis-Stevens. “I wondered how I could continue to teach chemistry, coach my team and handle that. “But as head track and field coach, I supervise 10 assistant coaches and 200 athletes. As AD, the skill set would be comparable and I had seen Kari’s effectiveness as the AD at La Costa Canyon and felt, ‘She can do it, there’s no reason I can’t do it too.’” And “do it,” they do. Talking with any of the five, one comes away with a sure sense of their
Charlenne Falcis-Stevens
KEN GROSSE
collective confidence, energy and the infectious enthusiasm that can be found in successful leaders of business, industry or athletics — be they male or female. But as one of the latter, they have also been trailblazers of a sort, handling a demanding job in what has traditionally been a male-dominated environment while, in the case of four-of-the-five, also starting a family. It’s a dynamic that is at least partially responsible for the relatively low numbers sitting in the athletic director’s chair. “I’d like to see more female athletic directors in San Diego,” says Brose, “but then I don’t have as many female head coaches at Rancho Bernardo as I’d like either. At some point for many women who are coaches or potential administrators, the family component starts to enter in.” As a group, the quintet has a total of 10 children, including DiGiulio’s four, which makes her something of a phenomenon with her peers. “I don’t know how Kari does it, but I think it’s SEE SPOTLIGHT, A30

New Village Church online series profiles leaders who combine faith and work The Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe has launched a new series of online video interviews featuring prominent San Diegans with inspiring stories of the varied ways they live out their faith at work. Business owners, corporate executives and a movie producer are just some of the participants in the church’s Faith and Work Initiative that encourages Christians across San Diego to live out the power of Jesus Christ in all areas of their lives. “Society certainly values those who clock in at work 9 to 5, but the Faith and Work Initiative focuses on living to the glory of God in all you do,” said the Rev. Dr. Neal Presa, associate pastor of the Village Church. “Whether you’re a student, stay-at-home parent, a business leader or a retiree, the Initiative seeks to connect our work and the life of Jesus Christ.” Among the business leaders profiled are Bill and Susan Hoehn, owners of Hoehn Motors who have hired a chaplain for their
employees. Other Village Church members featured in the 12-part video series include The Honorable Susan Huguenor, retired San Diego Superior Court judge; Dane Smith, producer of such films as The Dropbox (2015) and the forthcoming Emmanuel (2017); and Hugh Greenway, M.D., CEO emeritus, Scripps Clinic. The video series launches a new interview each month at: www.villagechurch.org/profiles-of-faith. The Village Church Faith and Work Initiative also sponsors events to mentor high school and college students so they gain a sense of their spiritual vocation. An annual conference for professionals provides a venue for career development and networking opportunities.

The audience listens to former astronaut Charles Bolden, Jr. discuss the future of space exploration, the night he receives the Nierenberg Prize, Oct. 17, at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
2017 Nierenberg Prize goes to Charles Bolden, Jr. BY WILL BOWEN The Nierenberg Prize is given out annually by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and the William A. Nierenberg Family to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to science in the public interest. The prize was “founded” in 2001, a year after the death of William Nierenberg (1919-2000), a renowned national science leader, who was also the longest serving director of SIO (1965-1986). Nierenberg, who was a professor at UC Berkeley before coming to SIO, was an expert in several fields of underwater research and
warfare, and was known for his work in low-energy nuclear physics. He was the recipient of many honors, worked on The Manhattan Project to develop an atomic bomb, and was the first chairman of NASA’s Advisory Council. His family, including his wife, son, daughter and grandchildren, set up an endowment to honor his memory and award a prize to recognize a fellow scientist who made a significant contribution to the public good. The first recipient was Edward Osborne Wilson, the world’s leading expert on ants. Other
Nierenberg Prize winners have included Walter Cronkite (2002), Jane Goodall (2004), Sir David Attenborough (2005), and La Jolla’s own, J. Craig Venture (2007), who was the first to define the human genome.
2017 Prize Winner: Charles Frank Bolden, Jr.
This year’s prize went to Major General Charles Frank Bolden, Jr. (USMC retired), a former astronaut and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) chief administrator. Bolden, age 71, was born in 1946

Q&A
RSF Rotary interview with District Governor Scott Carr: ‘The misunderstood threats youth face in our own backyards’ The following is an interview conducted by RSF Rotary member Atusa Hangafarin with Scott Carr, the 2017-18 Governor for Rotary International District 5340. Q: How long have you been involved in Rotary? Carr: I was introduced by a friend who helped start Rotaract while I was in college , I don’t know how my friend knew about Rotaract but I have been active since 1996 and then I took a break after serving as President of my Rotaract for two years. In 2004, I sought out Rotary again as I felt something was missing. I wanted to be involved in my community again and have that feeling of giving back. Q: You talk a lot about the why of Rotary, what was your why? Carr: In Rotaract, we hosted a big summer picnic for foster kids. These kids were put through the system in such a way, it was horrible to think about. Seeing one young boy truly having the best day of his life because of this picnic that Rotary sponsored when every other day was a challenge for him in ways that we couldn’t imagine, inspired me to continue to give and help others. Q: Speaking of that and knowing about your passion for youth, what are some misconceptions that you believe people have about youth from your position? Carr: I would say all of the threats that young people face today and the damage it actually causes. Average life span for kids that are human trafficked is six years. People don’t necessarily want to admit it or maybe don’t know that all of this is happening right here in our communities. To our kids. People need to admit and recognize the warning signs that these kids face. Q: Are you doing anything personally through your position to help with the threats these kids in our own communities are facing? Carr: I am trying to help and encourage our Rotary District to raise awareness about the human and sex trafficking going on. I have personally spoken and worked with our District Attorney on this issue as well. Q: What can Rotary do to help bring attention to helping youth in human trafficking and in foster care? Carr: Every organization can start talking about youth, our districts can team up with district politicians as some already are to really tune into the human trafficking and raise awareness to what is going on and how we can collaborate to help together and unite in being a voice for these kids. The foster care issue is separated regionally. Every district

needs to work on improving their foster care system. Q: How could we as the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary along with our Rancho Santa Fe community assist in making life better for these kids? Carr: I would love to see us raise awareness on the issues and also direct engagement with foster kids and also foster parents. I’ve see the power it can have, the power of what a club can do to change the direction of these kids lives. To help provide the opportunity the kids can have to reach their fullest potential. Also, advocating for Voices for Children, a nonprofit that helps speak up for these kids in the current legal system. Q: You came to our Rancho Santa Fe Rotary for a visit, what stood out to you about our club? Carr: Your club was vibrant, positive and energetic. I could tell it was a club of not only dreamers, but also doers. It was one thing to actually be able to come up with the ideas, then to execute them. The projects such as The Taste of Rancho Santa Fe, are projects that go beyond each other and how people were supporting each other in all these aspects was impressive. You’ve got a good group. Q: Lastly to end on a more personal note, if you could meet one famous person dead or alive – who would you choose and why? Carr: Hmm, this is a hard one. I’ve never been asked this question; Teddy Roosevelt. He seemed to be a pragmatic leader committed to protecting our land who was able to overcome many obstacles in order to gain his accomplishments. Seems like nowadays people are more inclined to not act rather than act. Teddy would have been a Rotary member because he liked to jumped to action, which is what our Rotarians do.

‘Beach Bowl’ to determine ownership of the Golden Surfboard: TPHS vs. LCC The final regular season week of high school football games in San Diego County is, traditionally, “rivalry week,” and there is no healthier rivalry than between Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon. Not only is it an important Avocado League game, the contest this Friday, Nov. 3, will crown the San Dieguito Union High School District champion in the 12th annual “Beach Bowl” with the awarding of the Golden Surfboard. The Beach Bowl game is a fun way for the entire school district of beach communities to celebrate its strong academic and athletic programs, and crown the SDUHSD football champion for the year. Kick-off will be at 7 p.m. at Torrey Pines High School in Carmel Valley. As usual, a large and enthusiastic crowd is expected. In addition to the prestigious Golden Surfboard trophy being at stake, the game is an important Avocado League match for both teams. The Mavericks and Falcons come into the Beach Bowl with identical 6-3 overall and 3-2 league records. La Costa Canyon lost two tough games to league rivals ranked in the county’s top five (number one Mission Hills and San Marcos) for a 3-2 Avocado League record. The Falcons went down to El Camino and were edged out by Mission Hills. This final game of the regular season could vault the winner

The 12th annual “Beach Bowl” winning team Nov. 3 will receive the Golden Surfboard. into a tie for second place, depending on the Mission Hills vs San Marcos result, and will help decide the final seedings for both teams in the CIF playoffs. Last year’s Beach Bowl saw the Falcons reclaim the
Golden Surfboard with a victory over their rivals on the Mavericks’ field. This year, the Mavericks hope to return the favor. Also in the spirit of the friendly district rivalry, the traditional “Survivor” competition between student representatives from both schools will be held at halftime, featuring a variety of fun and athletic contests. Senior students, in male and female categories, at both schools compete in daily physical contests during the week leading up to the Beach Bowl to determine each campus’ representatives in the final Survivor showdown for further district bragging rights on Friday night. Adding to the local flavor of the Beach Bowl theme is San Diego County’s most unique trophy, the Golden Surfboard, a work of art created 12 years ago by students of LCC art teacher, Ron Lenc, out of a surfboard donated by now retired science teacher Jerry Trust. The work of art symbolizes the SDUHSD and the history of the north-south rivalry, going back to 1974 and the days of San Dieguito High School. The current rivals’ school colors and logos are also represented on the Golden Surfboard.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - NOVEMBER 2, 2017 - PAGE A25
Author drives length of I-8 freeway in search of Jewish stories BY JOE TASH For his latest book, Donald Harrison decided to test out the motto on the daily news website that he publishes with his wife, Nancy - “There is a Jewish story everywhere.” Harrison, a longtime San Diego journalist and public relations practitioner, hit the road to drive the 77-mile length of Interstate 8, from Ocean Beach to the Imperial County border. Along the way, he stopped at every exit, and collected Donald 70 stories about San Diego Harrison County’s Jewish heritage, focusing on people and places. “I believe there’s a nexus between physical places and history and storytelling,” said Harrison, 72, who publishes the San Diego Jewish World website (sdjewishworld.com). By tying stories to a specific location, whether it’s a pile of adobe bricks, a synagogue, a hospital or place of business, especially if the reader can visit the site, “It just makes the story more interesting,” said Harrison. Harrison spent about two years on the project, and first ran the stories as a series on his website. The self-published book, called “77 Miles of Jewish Stories,” came out in September, and is available on the Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites, as well as a number of bookstores and gift
shops along I-8. This new book is Harrison’s third; he also wrote books about San Diego’s first Jewish settler, Louis Rose, and another collection of stories called, “Schlepping Through the American West.” Over his career, Harrison has written for the Associated Press and the San Diego Union, and also co-founded a public relations agency, and worked as press secretary for Bill Cleator, San Diego’s acting mayor. A number of the stories in Harrison’s book have ties to coastal North County. One example is a chapter about Joseph Mannasse and Marcus Schiller, who were merchants and civic leaders in San Diego in the mid-1800s. The two ran a general store in what is now Old Town, and people often paid them in cattle. In order to have a place to graze their growing herd, the two men – both of whom were Jewish – bought large tracts of land along the coast in North San Diego County. “Had their families held on to that land, they would own most of the areas that today are known as Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas and Carlsbad. Today anyone who owned that much land would be a multi-billionaire, but back in those days open ranch land was fairly inexpensive. One could buy it cheaply, and unfortunately, later one could sell it just as cheaply,” Harrison wrote. Another prominent Jewish figure profiled in the book was Bob Breitbard, an entrepreneur who put together the deal to build the San Diego Sports Arena (now
The cover of “77 Miles of Jewish Stories” by Donald Harrison. called the Valley View Casino Center), and brought professional hockey and basketball teams to San Diego. He also helped found the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. Breitbard spent his final years at the Seacrest Village Retirement Home in Encinitas, which is operated by a nonprofit
arm of the local Jewish community. Other chapters chronicle such people and places as D.Z. Akins Delicatessen, Lake Murray, Morris Casuto of the Anti-Defamation League and alpaca farmers in Descanso. Harrison conducted numerous interviews for the book, including one with Steven Feldman, a Jewish defense attorney who represented David Westerfield against charges that he murdered 7-year-old Danielle Van Dam in 2002. Westerfield was convicted of the crime and sentenced to death, while Feldman was the target of anti-Semitic slurs for his role in the case. Harrison said he enjoyed working on the book because of all the stories he got to tell. He relied on his skills as a reporter to unearth and research the tales. “I got to explore not only Jewish institutions, but all the kinds of things that Jews have been involved with,” he said. By running the stories as a series on his news website, Harrison said, he would get tips from readers that sometimes led to other stories. He talked to people at each freeway exit, which also generated leads for additional stories. “That’s what I loved about it, you just never knew what the next exit might bring,” Harrison said. “It’s an interesting way to learn about your culture, history and traditions and meet some interesting people.” “Wherever you go if you know how to look for it you can find a story,” he said.

W
hen Isaac Gelman took the oath of office on Sept. 14 for a third year as a San Dieguito Union High School District student board member, it was unprecedented. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said he’s never had a student board member serve more than one year, so Isaac “is unique in that regard.” “By the time we get to know our [student] board representatives, they move on, so it’s been very special to get to work with Isaac over the years,” Dill said. Isaac’s path to the school board started when he was accepted as an Associated Student Body member at Torrey Pines High School as a freshman. ASB is a leadership course – with formal meetings, officers, and a sizable budget that’s audited regularly. “We‘re very official,” Isaac said. “Last year the auditor said we had the best organized paperwork ever.” He said ASB gets about 200 applicants each year, and after several rounds of interviews the ASB council accepts about 45 students. What helped him get accepted, he said, was his technical expertise. “When I was 12, I built my own computer,” he said. “I ordered the parts, put it all together, installed the system and there you go. I still use the computer every day.” He applied for several positions in ASB, but his
first choice was student board representative. Isaac, now a senior, was appointed to that post at the end of his freshman year, and has served as Torrey Pines representative ever since. Providing context Board meetings that include a number of public speakers are the meetings Isaac enjoys most. A divided school board has made the conversations even more interesting. When there are contentious issues, public comments and board discussions provide context and help him understand how the five trustees reach their decisions, he said. “The more information you get on a topic, the more context you have,” he said. “And the more context, the better you’re able to understand.” Regarding the five San Dieguito trustees, Isaac said, “I think all five are good and not afraid to challenge. Talking is more important than having full agreement.” “The discussion,” he said, “is more powerful than the vote.” The occasional incivility during public comment doesn’t disturb him. “Whenever there’s an issue that’s intensely advocated for on both sides, there’s going to be conflict,” he said. “We’re human and we’re passionate for what we believe. I think the boardroom is the best place to do it. “That’s why I love the school board. I get to hear what other people think. It’s the best way to make an objective decision.”
www.rsfreview.com He does, however, distinguish between passionate advocacy and personal attacks, which he said are when “discourse stops happening, and that’s dangerous. The personal attacks are not productive for any side. Whoever’s doing it is probably weakening their point.” Isaac said he enjoys the debates at the board meetings. “I’m not a debate team guy, but [the board discussions are] a real form of debate. I’m actually involved … I’m able to be a valuable member, adding my own perspective.” Listening to people express their opinions has often changed his mind. He said reading an agenda item is like just reading the headlines. “All of us have this immediate snap judgment,” he said. “But you have to get more.” Having a voice Five student board members (one from each of the five SDUHSD high schools) sit on the dais with the five elected trustees, and the students vote on every action item. “I think all five of us have an incredible effect,” Isaac said. “I think that’s our purpose, to be there to provide another perspective. When something is there that really affects the students, we can give a direct response. I think they really do listen to us.” He said he’s never reluctant to speak up – whether to express an opinion or ask questions. And he’s not afraid to challenge the district. “I’m not concerned with what Mr. Dill is recommending,” he said, speaking of San Dieguito’s superintendent. “We’re really lucky in our district,” he said. “They tell us specifically, ‘If you have something to say, say it.’ The only requirements are to be respectful.” When he does speak, he said he’s careful with his tone. “There’s always a kind of a conflict, and I’m debating whom I’m going to anger on every decision,” he said. “I always ask clarifying questions,” he said. “When I don’t understand what’s going on or I SEE SUTTON, A29

FROM TEENS, A9 participants from Solana Beach and nearby cities such as Encinitas and Del Mar detailed their experiences in Saturday’s Finding Voices kick-off workshop. “We all shared our personal stories and how we overcame our issues, or if we’re still dealing with those issues,” Natalie said. “Overall, we were just supporting each other and explaining what we can do next. “The main goal after we share a story is to think of solutions. We hit on different ideas, like how we want to organize our groups and have more panel discussions involving parents and teens, and do a campaign on social media to show people what are the signs of depression, especially the early signs. “The problem at the schools is they have annual suicide and depression (focus) weeks that happen only once a year. Teens are going through those things a lot and there’s not enough discussion about it and how to overcome it.” Getting teens to share experiences with each other is the first step in what McClondon envisions as becoming a community-wide engagement and ultimately a national campaign. “One of the things I teach them is to utilize social media to amplify on their experiences, like getting them to use podcasts and video to tell their stories,” he said. Based on the responses in the initial workshop, he said he will be working with Fassett and other participants on holding another one in the near future and honing a strategy for expanding the effort. “The biggest thing is we had a bunch of young people who want to be involved in the organization going forward to help promote it,” he said. “There’s been tons of support and people are reaching out to us.” Community service is a field that has long been appealing to McClondon, having spent his childhood and early teen years raised by his mother in a rough Long Beach neighborhood. He recalled growing up across the street from the family of future major-league baseball stars Tony and Chris Gwynn. Before his Hall-of-Fame career with the San Diego Padres,
Tony Gwynn starred in basketball and baseball at SDSU, where McClondon’s older brother, Rodney Van, went to school and ran track in the 1980s. On the advice of his mother, who passed away when McClondon was 13, he went to live with his brother in San Diego in City Heights and later near Monte Vista High School in Spring Valley. Having developed an independent streak as an adolescent artist, McClondon said he was determined to be his own boss once he left college and embarked on a career in web design and other facets of Internet technology. That evolved into a career as a consultant advising firms how they can better promote themselves and their wares through digital media. One day on a visit to one of the companies, it struck him that there were no people of color, aside from a couple of Asians, among a staff of about 200 employees, and he realized that he was one of the few African Americans in his field. He formed Youth Campaigns recognizing that many high school students and young adults have a level of sophistication with the digital culture that could open up opportunities for them. Youth Campaigns links companies, schools and organizations with students, often resulting in internships or jobs, he said. “Companies struggle with how to utilize digital marketing,” he said. “There are young people who have grown up with the tools and can utilize the tools, but for some reason have been left out. So we’re trying to partner these kids with companies. They’ve grown up with (digital), and they’re immersed in it.” With Youth Campaigns, McClondon focused on neighborhoods with which he became familiar after arriving in San Diego. Living in Solana Beach for the last nine years opened his eyes to some of the challenges youths face in the neighborhoods where his 4-year-old son and younger son turning 3 on Nov. 6 are growing up. “There is this thing when we talk about issues that kids have where everyone is associating that with low-income communities,” he said. “We need to stop that. All kids have issues that need to be addressed. For more information, visit findingvoices.org and youthcampaigns.org
FROM DEL DIOS, A1 $125,000 toward a project study. The first roundabout design meeting was held in 2005, followed by more in 2006. The first draft of the EIR circulated in 2008, and in 2010 it was revised to include Rancho Santa Fe’s suggestions about lighting. In 2013, the RSF Association board took a “passive position” of not opposing the certification of the EIR with the recommendations that the county reduce the diameter of the roundabouts and do a complete study of traffic signals at those intersections. The Association board also voted to form an ad hoc committee to work with the county on traffic signal design as the alternative, because it had never been studied or designed in great detail. In 2015, the Association board voted to support traffic signals after feedback at a town hall meeting was overwhelmingly in favor of signals. Immediately afterward, though, a group of residents challenged the decision with a petition of almost 1,000 signatures. As a result, the board approved conducting the community-wide survey. Moving forward, the Association can have some input on the design of the roundabouts, but the county must adhere to certain guidelines. Rancho Santa Fe’s concerns have surrounded around making sure that neighboring property owners’ land is respected with the construction of the roundabouts. To build the roundabouts, a few Covenant and non-Covenant residents will lose acreage and each landowner will be paid fair market value for the land. For now, Rich would like to see the Association put more pressure and “heat” on the county, proposing phone calls, videos of the backed-up traffic, a letter campaign or flyers at the stop signs. “We suggest that residents work with their community planning groups to advocate for a specific project,” Northrup said, noting the planning group for the Rancho Santa Fe region is the San Dieguito Community Planning Group. The group meets on the second Thursday of every month at the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Station. Chair Doug Dill can be reached at thedills@att.net.

FROM SUTTON, A26 don’t understand their thought process, I’ll just try to clarify it. I want to know. I’m a part of it; I have a voice. I think I give a unique insight.” He only doesn’t speak up when he doesn’t know what trustees are talking about, which he said with a laugh does happen occasionally. And there are times, he admitted, when he’s bored. “There’s a lot of stuff to keep up with,” he said, noting how he reads each agenda, even though it can often run to many hundreds of pages. Last month, Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate bill 468, which gives student board members greater access to information to help them gain better understanding of the issues so they can offer more informed opinions. But the law, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2018, is not giving San Dieguito student board members anything they don’t already have, Isaac said. “They send us everything, whatever’s legal,” he said. “Everything that’s in there [the bill] has already been done for us.” Controversies Memorable discussions in Isaac’s 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 terms included the debate about the resignation of Torrey Pines physics teacher Will Harvie, the 12.5-percent across-the-board salary raise for all district employees, special education issues, and the authorization application by the SOUL charter school. And the start of his third year on Sept. 14 began with a bang, as dozens of speakers made public comments about the high school foundations, at a meeting that lasted until nearly midnight. Because Will Harvie is a Torrey Pines teacher, that issue was personal for Isaac. Isaac remembered asking in open session why two board members (John Salazar and Mo Muir) were not satisfied with the district’s claims that the reasons (provided only in closed session) for Harvie’s sudden resignation
FROM PLANTS, A1 Fe Fire Department and local homeowners. Caitlin Kreutz, the horticulturist for the Rancho Santa Fe Association has worked as a project liaison, talking to Covenant landowners along the river about getting involved in the project to help remove all substantial stands of these highly flammable plants. “The project is a really good example of how a tragic event like the Witch Creek Fire and all of the fires after it can bring together a lot of different groups and people to work together to do something positive, reducing fire risk and enhancing the native habitat,” said Jack Hughes, conservation manager for the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. “So many times after something like a fire happens, we hear ‘We’ve got to do something.’ Here, something is actually getting done,” Kreutz said. Kreutz said they owe so much to dedicated volunteers who have contributed nearly 2,000 hours to the project, people like Bob Byrnes and Arne Johanson with the
were legitimate and should be accepted. “How was it split when it should have been decided in closed session?” he asked. After many students and parents spoke in favor of rejecting Harvie’s resignation, the board ultimately agreed, voting 4-1 to not accept the resignation. Trustee Beth Hergesheimer was the minority vote. That meeting was a break in tradition, when the board was swayed by public comment and decided to oppose the district’s recommendation, Isaac said. “If you have an excellent teacher who leaves in the middle of the year,” he said, “and two weeks later you can’t find another teacher without reassigning another one, then why are we not reaching out and asking questions?” Voting Rights Act In another case, the recent decision by a unanimous school board to divide the district into five separate voting areas sailed through unchallenged. Yet Isaac expressed to me his misgivings, offering unique insights that no elected board member raised. Several legal judgments showed that the courts have no sympathy for cities and school districts that may be violating the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA). Isaac said he understands the district risks the threat of costly litigation if it doesn’t make this change. Still, he objects to legislation or the courts imposing top-down laws and policies that supersede district interests. Local control for him is an over-riding issue. It’s what influenced his decision to publicly oppose the district’s resolution at the Sept. 14 board meeting to support a state Senate bill recommending later start times. Isaac said he was not necessarily against later start times and sees the reasoning behind the movement. It was the restrictive language in the Senate bill and the resolution brought before the board that he objected to. “If [the resolution] said, for example, that we want to build a plan to move them [start times] back gradually, that’s less restrictive,” he explained.
California Native Plant Society, and hard-working crews from American Conservation Experience (ACE), who travel all over the country to complete projects like trail restorations, fuel reduction and invasive removals. Local homeowners have contributed approximately 600 hours of labor and organizing. The work is funded by grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services ($55,300), the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project ($23,000) and recently $10,000 from the Patagonia store in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. The work began on Sept. 15 and will continue through March 2018. On Oct. 30, ACE crews were attacking a stand of Arundo near a private Rancho Santa Fe horse ranch along the San Dieguito River. The Arundo, which looks almost like giant bamboo, has grown up to 30 feet in some locations. “It’s a nasty one, it takes up lot of water and resources from the river valley that native plants, birds and animals could use,” Kreutz said. “It reduces biodiversity.” “It soaks up all the water and then in the summer it dries up and is so dry it’s like kindling and that’s when
About the CVRA presentation to the board on Sept. 14, Isaac told me he felt it was inappropriate for the law firm to present the information when it stands to benefit financially from the board’s vote to sub-divide the district. “Why is the lawyer standing there selling their product?” he asked. “They’re literally making a pitch to us.” He said it would have been preferable for someone within the district to present the facts. Russian immigrants The son of Russian immigrants, Isaac, age 17, said his parents’ escape from anti-Semitism and oppression in the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s “is a big part of my life, a big part of my culture. I learned a lot from my parents about Soviet history and immigration.” Both professionals, his father is an engineer and his mother does data analytics. Yet Isaac said it was not easy for them as immigrants. Their biggest barrier, he said, was learning a new language. Isaac and his older brother, Ed, were born in America but grew up speaking Russian, their first language. He said his parents speak English at home while he speaks Russian “so I don’t lose it.” He can also read Russian. Isaac speaks English with no detectable accent, although he said he’s been told he speaks in Spanish class with a Russian accent. When asked about hobbies and outside interests, Isaac, who plans to study applied mathematics in college, said, “I like to do a lot of stuff. My hobby is trying everything. I actively seek different things to learn about.” Isaac gets his news by reading the Wall Street Journal and exploring a variety of other sites with solid reputations – never from Facebook or social media sites, he said. “I love politics,” he said. “I follow national politics. It’s something my family has always done. I debate with my parents a lot. I get their insight and they get mine. It’s fun.” He joked that he has to hold his own at the dinner table, especially when his older brother
it burns,” Byrnes said. While originally brought to the country to act as erosion control 200 years ago, the plant has now become a huge problem and fire risk. “We have huge stands of it up and down the river and it acts as a wick in a fire,” Hughes said, noting that removing it can reduce the intensity of a fire and make it easier to control. Crews use chainsaws to cut down the Arundo and then it is chopped up. In addition to being a high fire risk and a water hog, the plant is also pesky — it grows extremely fast. After just two weeks, volunteer workers noted that green stalks were sprouting out of a chopped down area. Due to that fact, the crews must return several times to treat the plants until they can get ahead of it and the natives are able to gain an advantage and flourish. “It is a long-term project, it’s hands-on and there will be a lot of work done over the next four to five years” said Hughes, noting that all of the work is permitted by the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and U.S. Fish and Wildlife. In this particular area of Rancho Santa Fe, the highly flammable and
is there and joins in. Being involved “I am so impressed with Isaac’s contributions to our board discussions,” said school board member Joyce Dalessandro, who was first elected in 1996 and is now serving her sixth term which expires in 2020. “Over the course of his unprecedented tenure, he has demonstrated his dedication to the whole district while representing his fellow students and affording them a voice in the decisions of the board,” she said. “He jumped right in and offered his thoughts alongside his older peers and the adults on the board,” Dill said. “His involvement has been especially valuable in that no other student has his history and continuity.” Dill called Isaac “very mature, articulate, and sometimes provocative” with his opinions. Isaac praised San Dieguito for sending him and fellow student board members to the California School Boards Association student board member program two years ago. “They’re involved in us being involved,” he said. Isaac’s advice to future student school board members? “Do your school board homework. Learn about the school board. Be opinionated. Hold your convictions. Contribute to the discourse. “Whatever you have is valuable ... even if it’s not what you think they want to hear. They’re going to respect you for speaking out. You’re just another person trying to figure out what’s best.” Sitting on the school board forces you to make a decision, yes or no, he said. “It reinforces that skill to evaluate information.” “Listen, take in, absorb, evaluate and make a decision.” “I wish there were some other avenues to get kids to become problem-solvers on the fly,” he said. “That’s really powerful.” Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.
large stand grows extremely close to the horse ranch’s buildings. Getting rid of the stand will create important defensible space for the safety of property and animals and give the native plants a chance to take over. A list of native and fire-resistant plants to replace the invasive species has been prepared for landowners as another goal of the project is to educate residents on how they can improve wildlife habitat on their private properties and create fire-safe landscapes around their homes. Hughes and Kreutz said they would like to connect with any property owners in Fairbanks Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe with land surrounding or adjacent to the San Dieguito River that are interested in having invasive plants removed. Those interested can contact Jack Hughes at jack@sdrvc.org. Kreutz acts as the project liaison for Association members, contact her at caitlin@rsfassociation.org.

What do you like about representing San Diego specifically? I have lived in San Diego my whole life. This city is everything I know and holds an important place in my heart. To be a representative for the city of San Diego at such a large pageant is truly an honor. I love both San Diego and pageantry, so to be given the opportunity to represent my hometown at a pageant is a great way to combine the two.

FROM BOLDEN, A13 Hubble Space Telescope, which is now traveling in deep space, sending back pictures that have transformed our view of the universe. All told, Bolden logged a total of 680 hours in space and was inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 2006.
Borden’s work at NASA
Following his career as an astronaut, Bolden became the 12th administrator of NASA during President Barack Obama’s two terms in office. At NASA, Bolden oversaw its transition from 30 years of Space Shuttle missions to a new era of space exploration with the International Space Station, as well as space and aeronautics technological development. He led NASA in developing a space rocket and Orion spacecraft that will carry astronauts to deep space destinations, such as asteroids and the planet Mars. Under Borden, NASA sent the Curiosity rover to Mars, launched a space craft to Jupiter, and continued progress toward a 2018 launch of the James Webb Telescope, which will be the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. Borden was given the Nierenberg Prize on the
evening of Oct. 17, at the Robert Paine Scripps Forum, which is a small SIO auditorium that overlooks La Jolla Shores beach. SIO director Margaret Leinen introduced the event and acknowledged the family of William Nierenberg in attendance, including wife Edith, son Nico, daughter Victoria, and two grandchildren, Victoria told some amusing stories about her dad, a man she said “was interested and excited about everything.” Then Bolden, who was accompanied by his wife, spoke about “An Instrument of Soft Power: NASA International Cooperation.” “Wow!” he led off, “ I just want to say thank you to the Nierenberg Family and Director of Scripps Margaret Leinen. I must say I was quite intimidated to receive this award because it meant I would have to live up to the reputation of Bill Nierenberg, who was a legend in his field!” Borden next saluted the famed SIO oceanographer Walter Munk, now age 100, who was seated in the audience, smiling.
Borden on Borden
Borden called himself “an eternal optimist” who sees his role as, “helping people ponder
FROM SPOTLIGHT, A10 great” says Falcis-Stevens. “Sometimes it’s tough but I am always able to find the balance in my life. My kids come to a lot of stuff at school and I have quite a few people I can count on for both career and mental support. I’m also very fortunate that I have a lot of veteran coaches on our staff who are passionate, know their programs inside and out and can be invaluable in helping to guide our newer coaches.” And lest you’re thinking that one side inevitably suffers at the hand of the other, DiGiulio is quick to point out that her days start early and she always gets “home in time to be a point of contact with my children after their school day” before often returning to the LCC campus to coach field hockey or check in with other teams’ practices and events. That kind of commitment has not gone unnoticed.
questions, but not so much answer them. I want to help people address questions such as: Are we alone in the universe? What else is out there? Are there other forms of life in the universe? Are there other habitable planets?” Borden also said he wanted to encourage people to recognize our own beautiful planet. “Our planet needs you,” he said. “We need your imagination, your ingenuity, and your cooperation. This is Space Ship Earth and it’s the only one we have, and we must work together to take care of it. But the best, and perhaps most meaningful view of Earth, is from space. We must continue on with space exploration. It is one of the keys to having a better future. We must expand our human presence in the universe.” Bolden went on to discuss the direction, accomplishments and current projects of NASA. He said that after the Challenger exploded in 2003, NASA changed direction to focus on the Space Station, technology development, public/private, and international cooperation. “We have 17 years of human habitation on the International Space Station, 250 miles up into space. Astronauts from many different countries have lived and worked there
“Charlenne is very organized, communicates well with the coaching staff and responds quickly to situations,” says veteran Torrey Pines boys’ basketball coach John Olive when queried about Falcis-Stevens. “It’s never really crossed my mind that she was a female AD but I will say that having an athletic director who has coached is really helpful. She understands the intricacies of what a coach goes through.” Sixth-year LCC boy’s soccer coach Craig Dean feels that DiGiulio’s strengths carry over to the entire department. “Kari is extremely professional but easy to approach and able to be personal as well,” says Dean, who has led the Maverick boys to a pair of CIF titles in his first five years on campus. “She’s very organized and demands the same kind of organization out of the coaching staff. She sets high expectations across the board while at the same time giving you the freedom to do what needs to be done with your sport.

Susan Katherine Kuntz October 1, 1955 - October 26, 2017
RanchO Santa Fe — Susan Katherine Kuntz, 62, passed away peacefully on thursday, October 26, 2017, at home in Rancho Santa Fe, ca, following a year-long battle with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer affecting the biliary system. She was surrounded by her devoted husband of 23 years, Richard; loving son, Peter; and furry companion, Bubba. Susan was born and raised in Jefferson city, MO. She graduated from Rockhurst University with a BS in business administration (emphasis in accounting) and later attended the University of Southern california where
she earned a Master of business taxation degree. Susan was licensed as a certified public accountant in california and Ohio. her business career spanned both public accounting and corporate accounting, specializing in familycontrolled businesses.
Susan further utilized her cPa skills volunteering in the not-for-profit sector, serving as cFO or treasurer for entities within the Solana Beach School District and her church. always quick to volunteer, Susan was actively engaged at her son’s elementary, middle, and high schools, and also regularly took on the role of team Mom for his sports teams. In addition to Richard and Peter, Susan is survived by her sister, norma (Bolten) Boes and her husband Bill; and a large extended family of nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, edward and Ruth (Reid) Bolten; and brother,
David Bolten. a memorial service will be held on Saturday, november 11, 2017, 11:00am, at calvary Lutheran church, 424 Via de la Valle, Solana Beach, ca. In lieu of flowers, Susan’s family requests donations be made in her memory to either the helen Woodward animal center (PO Box 64, Rancho Santa Fe, ca 92067), or UcSD Moores cancer center (Uc San Diego Gift Processing, 9500 Gilman Drive #0940, La Jolla, ca 92093-0940).

successfully,” said Bolden. He further mentioned Juno, a satellite that is completely powered by solar energy, and Osiris Rex “a project where we will send a space ship to orbit the asteroid Benuit. The space ship will eventually descend to the surface of the asteroid and without actually landing, extract a soil sample. Then we will have soil material that came from outside our solar system!” In regard to the James Webb Space Telescope, he said, “it will travel a million miles away from Earth and undoubtedly transform our view of the universe, much like the Hubble Telescope has.” As for the mission to Mars, Bolden said, “President Obama challenged NASA to get to Mars. I’m confident we can do it. I see humans living and working on Mars. Mars will be our stepping stone to the rest of the universe. My hope is that we will eventually find signs of life or habitable planets out there.” He concluded his talk with a challenge to young scientists. “I especially want to encourage the young people in the audience to study hard, work hard and not be afraid of failure. You are the ones who will take us into our future.”
“At first, it’s a little different having a woman in that role but as soon as you meet and speak with Kari, you recognize her knowledge, background and enthusiasm and quickly forget about it.” Among all of their similarities and differences, one thing seems to stand above all — they love their jobs for a variety of reasons but they inevitably circle back to the students as the root of their satisfaction. “Honestly, watching our student-athletes compete, knowing that they have worked so hard for that moment, is incredible,” says DiGiulio, whose father, John Labeta, is Assistant Commissioner of the CIF San Diego Section as well as a former AD at LCC. “So much can be taught and gained, while using athletics as the platform. The majority of student-athletes have this wonderful and charismatic way of life, one that is inspiring.” Her peers echo those types of sentiments. “Watching a group of athletes believe in a program and be supportive and respectful of each other is very satisfying,” says Falcis-Stevens, while Waters added, “The students are No. 1. The favorite part of my job is helping kids. I’m happy when I see them try harder whether it’s in athletics or academics —happy when they change something around in their lives for the better.” And, although there is still the occasional reminder that they are women in a profession once exclusive to males, they definitely feel comfortable in their surroundings. “There have never been any gender issues on my own site,” says Brose. “I think I had the respect of my fellow coaches when I took this job — they’d seen me in a leadership role already. But, it’s a little different outside and there are still times when somebody at a meeting will say something and I find myself thinking ‘Did I just hear that?’ ” Despite her credentials, DiGiulio has faced a fair share of doubters. “I’ve been laughed at and humiliated in this position, simply for being a woman and been told I know nothing about sports. I consider it something of an insult seeing the sheer shock in people’s expressions when I say that I am the Athletic Director at La Costa Canyon High School.” “When people contact the athletic director, they assume I’m a guy,” says Waters. “I know it’s 2017, but I experience people looking at me like, ‘You’re the AD?’ It still happens.” But none find the sporadic slights a significant deterrent to getting the job done. “When it comes to decision-making, it’s not about being a woman,” says Falcis-Stevens emphatically. “It’s about what’s right for your school and your students. When I’m hiring a coach for a girls’ sport, I’m not necessarily looking for a female coach — I’m looking for the right coach.” The five are also unanimous in encouraging others to follow in their footsteps. “I tell them to ‘Go for it,” says DiGiulio when asked what wisdom she would impart to those aspiring to her position. “Women can succeed in athletics, in anything. I’ve held my own in the thick of it all. I would remind young women to stay confident and never give up on yourself because young girls will always be watching and admiring. I love it when my daughter tells her friends about my job. I see the pride in her eyes and I know I have made an impact.”

The Art that Hitler Hated
Historian gives intensely personal lecture at the Athenaeum BY COREY LEVITAN Cornelia Feye dances her laser pointer around a slide of German expressionist Emil Nolde’s “The Last Supper.” The art historian explains what Adolf Hitler hated about the 1909 painting. “The crime (Nolde) was accused of was insolent mockery of the divine,” Feye tells a packed Athenaeum Music & Arts Library house of 60 on Oct. 24. The theme of the third of four lectures in Feye’s series, “German Art of the 20th Century,” sounds like fodder for a Mel Brooks movie scene. Why would anyone care what paintings Adolf Hitler hated? But it’s actually a thing. Called “degenerate art” — Hitler’s phrase — it’s been taught for decades in art history classes. And it has deep relevance to the horrors of the Holocaust because Nazism was largely a product of Adolf Hitler’s aesthetic sensibility. The Aryan ideal was heavily predicated on a look Hitler wanted his nation to achieve, one celebrated by his favorite painter, Adolf Ziegler, in his paintings of muscular nudes in the classical Greek tradition; a look that, ironically, Hitler didn’t possess himself. “When Hitler came to power, he immediately started championing art that was important to him,” Feye said before the lecture. “He built a house of art in Munich and he had a large model of the Fuhrer Museum he wanted to build in his
hometown. He kept that model with him until the bunker. That’s how important art was to him.” Hitler hated any art that was non-white (including, of course, Jewish), pro-communist, or that lacked realism. (“Sheer insanity” was his label for abstract art.) “He hated pretty much everything except a very, very tiny group of art that he cultivated around himself,” Feye said, “anything that didn’t completely conform Cornelia Feye to his narrow margins.” In 1937, Hitler commanded Ziegler to rip around 5,000 of the most offensive examples off the walls of art museums all around Germany, then display 650 of them in Munich to stoke public scorn. But the Degenerate Art Exhibition had quite the opposite effect. Four times as many Germans attended it than the Hitler-sponsored Great German Art Exhibit across the street — two million in four months. “People were astounded at the quality of the work,” Feye said. “It was basically a who’s who of modern art — Marc Chagall,
Max Beckmann, Wassily Kandinsky — hardly any great art was exempted.” Most of tonight’s attendees interviewed by La Jolla Light say they came to all three of Feye’s lectures because they love anything to do with art history. “I learned a lot tonight,” says Kirby Kendrick of Mission Hills, who is an artist herself. “I thought the Degenerate Art Exhibition was put on by the artists themselves, as a rebellion thing like the Salon des Refuses in Paris.” But some came because of the Hitler connection. “We have to pay attention to history — that’s the main message,” said La Jolla resident Judy Newman. “I think of what’s happening today, with people following egotistical, self-centered leaders who have charisma.” Many attendees professed not knowing that Hitler was an aspiring painter. He applied to the Fine Art Academy in Vienna, according to Feye, and got rejected twice. (The director wrote that he was unfit for painting and might want to study architecture instead. Hitler couldn’t, because he didn’t finish high school.) “There is a theory that if Hitler had been accepted at the art academy, maybe the world would have been spared a lot of suffering,” Feye said. “I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to go too far and say it explains the Holocaust.” Although none were murdered by the
Nazis, artists fingered as degenerate were forbidden to produce their art, fired from their day jobs and threatened with arrest. Many of their confiscated paintings subsequently went missing; some still are. A decade or so ago, when Feye worked at the San Diego Museum of Art, she said she was part of a team tasked with determining the provenance of all art the museum purchased from 1933 to 1945. “They wanted to make sure none of it was stolen,” Feye said. “They would ask me to translate some of the source material and witness reports of the Jewish art collectors.” Feye said the team flagged one painting for return, a Peter Paul Rubens she said “had been obtained under questionable circumstances.” Feye’s interest in German art of the Nazi era is intensely personal. The Point Loma resident is German and grew up in the shadows of the atrocities. Her father and grandfather were soldiers in the German army. “There was no choice,” she said. “What were they going to do? My father was a good person and he was not in the SS. He was just an infantry cavalry man, and he couldn’t refuse. When I was growing up, it was hard to be proud to be a German,” Feye added. “It’s still a national karma.” Feye’s fourth and final German art lecture, “Art of Two Germanys, 1945-1989: The Art of a Divided Nation,” was held Oct. 31 at The Athenaeum, 1008 Wall St.

Local author zeroes in on NSA in new thriller novel BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY
A
bout a decade ago, Stu Schreiber became fascinated with the National Security Agency. He began reading articles about the intelligence organization, but was still left wondering, what did this group actually do? "The more I read, the more I was intrigued because the information that was out there just read like legalize," recalled the 43-year Del Mar resident. The thoughts eventually evolved into "January Chronicles: Isaac's Legacy," the first in a series of books written by Schreiber that focuses on a NSA worker. The 434-page thriller and science fiction novel, released July 28 through 27th Street Publishing, follows Isaac Stone, a longtime National Security agent, who predicts two of the biggest recent events that change the course of history. During Isaac's story, he
meets a younger single mother, January Cooper, and the two begin a friendship. Eventually, their quiet lives become shaken up during a tragedy. But the book, which Schreiber conceptualized over the course of a few years and two different ideas, didn't always focus on this storyline. While the NSA was always a focal point in the story, which the author thought he had completed in spring 2013, Shreiber's tale changed dramatically in June that year. Edward Snowden, an American computer professional, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee, and former contractor for the United States government, copied and leaked classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2013 without authorization, inspiring Schreiber to alter his story. "Up until that time, most people knew very little about what this spy agency does," Schreiber said. "After Snowden released all those documents, and every newspaper and TV station devoted so much time to it, I had to go back and totally change the novel that I had written. I didn't want it to seem at

all like I was playing on what he had written, and what he had written was part of what I wrote." As a result, the entire storyline, some characters and the title of the book were changed. The science fiction and thriller concepts differ from Schreiber's previous books, showing he is not limited by genre. He started his career writing a series of books aimed to help small business owners, and his first leisure book, "August 9th" was a rock 'n' roll love story told in memoir style. "Isaac's Legacy" has received positive reviews since its July release, and Schreiber looks
forward to writing more in the series. He said he is almost finished with the second book, "January Chronicles: Coop and the Cowboy," which he previews at the end of "Isaac's Legacy." He has also pitched it as a TV series and has met with networks and producers about his ideas. "It has the main ingredient that many of the female-oriented networks are looking for, and that is a strong heroine with a compelling story," he said. The novel is available at various online and retail outlets, including Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. Schreiber will host an "Ask the Author" event at the Del Mar Library, 1309 Camino Del Mar, on Nov. 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. The event will include a question and answer period and Schreiber will also sign copies of "Isaac's Legacy." Schreiber has had careers as an entrepreneur, co-founder and CEO of a public company, insurance industry executive, business coach, spin instructor and racetrack clocker.

Village Church Community Theater presents ‘Scrooge! The Musical’ The Village Church Community Theater will hold performances of "Scrooge!

Performances will be held Friday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 2 at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 3 and 2 p.m. Based upon a retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel in a 1970 film about the bitter old miser taken on a journey of self-examination and redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions, the story was adapted for the stage by the original writer in a charming musical production true to Dickens’ work set in Victorian London. The song score was nominated for an Academy Award, and the Broadway-style show ran in London for many seasons since opening in 1992, and it is presented this year in a new production for the stage musical’s 25th anniversary.

Dream Dinners offers ease for healthy, home-cooked meals
La Jolla Cultural Partners
North County residents can take advantage of a home-cooked meal without the hassle of going to the store and prepping thanks to Dream Dinners, which has a location in Solana Beach. The 15-year-old franchise, which has more than 75 locations across the country, offers a variety of new meals every month that caters to different diets. “We help busy families reconnect around the dinner table by making it easy to serve a homemade meal, even on the busiest weeknights,” said Kate Patterson, owner of the Solana Beach store, which has been open for 12 years. “We take care of all the planning, shopping and prep so that all the busy cook needs to do is thaw meals for the week, and cook them.” Patterson, who took over ownership in 2013, said the store’s regular guests save about 20 hours and $200 on groceries and takeout, on average, every month. All ingredients are restaurant quality and locally-sourced whenever possible. Kim Martin, the Solana Beach store’s manager of seven years, said their clientele is anyone who wants healthy, homemade dinners. Meals come in medium and large sizes to accommodate families between two and six people. She said while there are a number of meal delivery options out there today, she likes to
The Dream Dinners Solana Beach team celebrated the company’s 15-year anniversary this spring. think of Dream Dinners as the “original” meal kit business. However, she said, there are a few differences that make Dream Dinners stand out among the rest. “First and foremost, we take care of prepping all the ingredients, which saves a ton of time,” she said. “For example, if a recipe calls for diced green onions, the mail-order dinner options will send a bunch of onions. At Dream Dinners, the onions are chopped and ready to add to the recipe. Also, we believe our cooks know their families best, so all our recipes can be customized.”

Monthly menus include 17 to 20 different meals, with beef, chicken, pasta and seafood options. Each guest determines the number of meals they want to order based on the number of nights they want to serve a meal from Dream Dinners. “Most choose to serve our dinners at least three nights a week, but some prepare Dream Dinners five or six nights a week,” Martin said. “Some of our guests with larger families come in twice a month.” Customers choose when they want to come in and assemble their meals. The
activity is fun for the entire family to join in, Patterson said. Dream Dinners offers morning, evening and weekend sessions throughout the month. A guest can also choose for Dream Dinners to assemble their meals for them. “About one-third of our guests use our Made For You service, which we are offering free in December to help with the holidays,” Patterson said. “Although we are not a subscription, we encourage our guests to sign up every month. Once serving home-cooked meals becomes a lifestyle habit, they never go back to take-out. They also receive extra rewards under our loyalty program.” Dream Dinners also hosts parties and fundraisers.

North County Baha’is celebrate bicentenary of Baha’u’llah’s birth
O
ver the weekend of Oct.21 and 22, millions of members of the Baha’i religion around the world celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of Baha’u’llah, a Persian nobleman and the founder of the faith, who is considered a prophet by the Baha’is. Locally, Baha’is in Rancho Santa Fe and surrounding communities gathered at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club Oct. 22 for a luncheon to celebrate the bicentenary of Baha’u’llah’s birth. Considered one of the youngest of the world’s major religions, the Baha’i faith teaches the unity of the human race, with such tenets as the equality of the sexes, that science and religion go hand in hand, and that all religions share a single deity, said Nava Ghalili, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and one of the organizers of the Oct. 22 luncheon.

the BREEDERS’ CUP
DEL MAR • NOVEMBER 3 & 4, 2017
Numerous events offered at Breeders’ Cup and Bing Crosby Fall Race Meet BY KELLEY CARLSON fter many months of planning and prepping, the stage has been set for the 34th annual Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships to come to Del Mar. It’s finally showtime. One of thoroughbred racing’s biggest events, the Breeders’ Cup consists of 13 Grade I races with purses and awards totaling more than $28 million. This year’s edition will be held “where the turf meets the surf” on Nov. 3 and 4 as part of the fall meet’s opening weekend. To enhance the experience, organizers arranged a weeklong Breeders’ Cup Festival, which began Oct. 28. Among the upcoming activities are:
A
Breeders’ Cup Sneak Peek Day at Del Mar (Nov. 2): There will be event merchandise for sale, special food and cocktails, an autograph session with jockeys and trainers, and an opportunity to win tickets for Friday and Saturday. ♦ Ponies & Poker (Through Nov. 2): Amateur and professional poker players, along with racing fans, athletes and celebrities, will gather at Ocean’s Eleven Casino in Oceanside for a Texas Hold ‘Em-style tournament and a chance to win $100,000. ♦ Breeders’ Cup Belly-Up Concert Series (Through Nov. 4): Performances by the B-52s and ‘80s cover band Tainted Love with DJ Scotto are slated. ♦ La Jolla Art Walk (Nov. 3): Guests can meander through galleries on a self-guided walking tour through the Village.♦ Art of the Horse (Through Nov. 4): Twenty life-size, fiberglass horse statues created by local artists are displayed throughout San Diego.♦
The connections of Finest City - which include trainer Ian Kruljac, and owners Wayne Seltzer and Tyler Seltzer of Rancho Santa Fe - display the Breeders' Cup trophy after winning the $1 million Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint in 2016. They are hoping for a repeat victory this year. While the Breeders’ Cup festivities end Nov. 4, there will still be plenty of action at Del Mar during the following three weeks. “It’s our fourth season of the Bing Crosby (fall) meet,” said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions.
“We’re still trying to create more awareness throughout the community. We’re looking to keep the momentum, especially after the Breeders’ Cup.” One way Del Mar plans to accomplish that is with the return of concerts.The popular Reggae Fest featuring Iration will
be presented on Nov. 18, and rock band The Offspring will perform on Nov. 25. Two events previously on the Bing Crosby meet calendar will merge into one on Nov. 25 - the Craft Beer, Cider, Cocktail & Wine Fest, to be held in the

Breeders’ Cup has hosted many of horse racing’s most memorable moments
Goldikova (far outside, gray saddlecloth) is the only horse to win the same Breeders' Cup race three times the Mile. She did it in consecutive years (2008-2010). BY KELLEY CARLSON el Mar is about to become a part of Breeders’ Cup history. For the first time, the seaside oval will be hosting the event, set for Nov. 3 and 4 this year.

the series has provided some of horse racing’s most memorable moments. The idea for the Breeders’ Cup began in 1982. Up until that point, there were no specifically designated races that brought together top-level runners to decide “the best of the best.” But a group of breeders from Kentucky, led by prominent farm
KELLEY CARLSON
owner John Gaines, formed a plan to create a single event that would help decide year-end championship honors and bring racing to further national attention. The first Breeders’ Cup - broadcast on NBC - was held Nov. 10, 1984, at the former Hollywood Park in Inglewood. The day consisted of

seven races with some of the fastest thoroughbreds from around the globe, and purses that totaled $10 million. The winner of the inaugural Breeders’ Cup race was Chief’s Crown, in the Juvenile division. But the most unforgettable race of the day came in the finale, the $3 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, when favorite Slew O’ Gold, Preakness Stakes winner Gate Dancer and 31-1 long shot Wild Again battled and bumped their way down the track in a dramatic stretch run. Wild Again finished in front by a head, but due to a steward’s inquiry, it took 10 minutes before he was officially declared the victor. Subsequent years brought more epic showdowns and displays of brilliance, especially in the Classic. In 1987, the Classic brought together Kentucky Derby champions Ferdinand and Alysheba, with Ferdinand
holding off the furious late run of Alysheba to win by a whisker and earn the title of Horse of the Year. Two years later, rivals Kentucky Derby and Preakness champion Sunday Silence and Belmont Stakes victor Easy Goer squared off for a fourth and final time to settle the question of who’s best, with Sunday Silence a neck in front at the finish. The “unconquerable, invincible, unbeatable” Cigar took the 1995 edition of the Classic during his 16-race win streak, while Tiznow fought off European invader Sakhee in 2001 to become the only horse to capture the race twice. One of the greatest Classics came in 2009, when the popular race mare Zenyatta kept her then-perfect record intact and beat “the boys” with a devastating last-to-first move.

the BREEDERS’ CUP
DEL MAR • NOVEMBER 3 & 4, 2017
Dennis Moore: The man behind Del Mar’s safer horse racing BY TOD LEONARD “Write this down,” Chris Moore said. She was serious. The wife of Dennis Moore, the track superintendent who will prepare the racing surfaces for the upcoming Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar, was speaking of her husband’s love of his sport, of his dedication to the lives of horses and horsemen, of his commitment to do whatever it takes to get the job done. “Google the Riudoso Downs flood and watch it on YouTube,” Chris said. “It will give you a whole new respect for my husband.” The video from July of 2008 reveals that the racetrack in the hills of southern New Mexico was badly flooded after the remnants of Hurricane Dolly dumped rain on the area for 33 straight hours. In the aftermath, about one-third of the racetrack was underwater. Dennis Moore was the superintendent of Hollywood Park at the time. He and Chris, then a kindergarten teacher, were about to leave on much-needed vacation in
Hawaii. Then Dennis got the call from Ruidoso Downs. They needed him. Badly. “He rebuilt that racetrack in four days,” Chris said with obvious pride in her voice. “He’s the best there is. He is ethical. He is moral. He’s the most loyal of employees.” She recalled that a month after the flood, Dennis returned to Ruidoso, but forgot his heart medication. He went to the Walmart there to pick up a prescription, and the pharmacist also happened to be the town’s mayor. Dennis tried to pay, but the mayor wouldn’t take his money. “Son, we owe you,” he said. “You saved this town from not having racing.” Moore made a different kind of save at Del Mar this year. Following the deaths of 17 horses during the summer meet of 2016, Del Mar CEO and President Joe Harper went searching for answers to make the racing safer, and he convinced Moore to give up his down time as the superintendent at Santa Anita to do an overhaul of the dirt track at Del Mar and oversee the entire meet. The result of Moore’s work and
numerous others: five fatal breakdowns (not including one horse’s heart attack) — three coming during racing on the dirt and another in training. A “night and day” difference, Harper called it. “I think it went well,” Moore said. “The fatalities were way down, and that’s what we wanted. I’d rather not have any fatalities, but some things you can’t control. Horses are going to break down.” The turnaround came at probably the most critical time in Del Mar’s history. The summer meet was a buildup for the track’s first hosting of the Breeders’ Cup on Nov. 3-4. “The Breeders’ Cup is probably the biggest day in racing there is, and sure you feel that because of the attention of the media and everything,” Moore said. “To me, every day is as important is Breeders’ Cup day. “I’m not trying to downplay the Breeders’ Cup. But anytime you know that somebody’s life, an animal’s life is on the line, you’re always on edge, and you never want to see anything happen.” On Oct. 6, Moore and his crew

Director of Track Maintenance at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Dennis Moore, inspects dirt on the track. began preparing the Del Mar track for the Bing Crosby season that begins on Nov. 1. He said he expects the work and the track conditions to be “exactly the same” as they were for the summer racing. The key efforts on the racing surface were made earlier in the year, when the track was scraped to its base while the banks on the turns were increased. Moore found some inconsistencies in how smooth it was, and those repairs were made and then checked with high-grade engineering equipment. The 3.5-inch cushion of dirt that is
called the pad was added, and it was checked every day of racing for its moisture content. Moore points out that tremendous strides have been made over time in the scientific approach to the track. He has worked closely with Dr. Mick Peterson, who has done extensive research into the biomechanics of horses and their interaction with racing surfaces. Too, Moore said he only contributed to what was an overall better program at Del Mar in the summer. It included SEE DENNIS MOORE, B21

the BREEDERS’ CUP
DEL MAR • NOVEMBER 3 & 4, 2017
FROM RACING, B14 became the first “Grand Slam” winner in horse racing with his Classic victory in 2015. Last year, Arrogate chased down fan favorite California Chrome to etch his place in history. For some thoroughbreds, the Breeders’ Cup has been an opportunity to show dominance in multiple years. The brilliant European filly Goldikova won the Breeders’ Cup Mile three years in a row (2008-2010), and California-based Beholder claimed the Juvenile Fillies as a 2-year-old (2012) and the Distaff at ages 3 and 6 (2013, 2016). A number of runners have captured two Breeders’ Cup races, including Ouija Board, Goldencents, Bayakoa, Royal Delta, Miesque, Lure, Da Hoss, Wise Dan, Midnight Lute, High Chaparral, Conduit, Mizdirection, Groupie Doll, Secret Circle and Stephanie’s Kitten. In order for horses to become eligible to compete in the Breeders’ Cup, they have to be nominated, either through the nomination of their sires (fathers) or a fee that their breeder pays by Oct. 15 of the year they are born. Then they must actually qualify for the championships through a points system, a challenge race, or selection by a panel of experts. Those who succeed are rewarded with a chance to win purses totaling in the millions, and a trophy that’s a bronze replica of the Torrie horse created by Giovanni da Bologna in the late 1580s in Florence. Flower blankets composed of beauty asters, golden asters, cremons and Cattleya orchids are draped across the winners. Over the years, fans have been able to see racing’s elite at various venues around the country, as the tracks take turns hosting the Breeders’ Cup. Among those that have rolled out the “purple” carpet are Santa Anita Park (Arcadia), Churchill Downs (Louisville, Ky.), Belmont Park (Elmont, N.Y.), and Gulfstream Park (Hallandale Beach, Fla.). Now, it’s Del Mar’s turn.

the BREEDERS’ CUP FROM DENNIS MOORE, B18 more breaks during the morning workouts so the track could be smoothed and greater scrutiny of horses by veterinarians and track officials. While Moore insists the Del Mar dirt track was very similar to Santa Anita’s, there were concerns among some handicappers and horsemen that the horses responded differently to it than in the past. That speculation was further fueled when trainer Bob Baffert’s Arrogate, the No. 1 horse in the world, lost twice during the meet. “Overall, the response was pretty positive,” Moore said. “I had some guys who weren’t happy with the surface, but you could run on goose feathers and somebody’s not going to be happy with it. “That’s part of the game. I couldn’t care less about who the leading trainer or leading jockey is. All I care about is that everybody is walking back under their own power (after a race). We always talk about horse fatalities, but there is a human being on that horse’s back. There’s more chance of a rider suffering a life-threatening injury, and that’s paramount.” Moore, 67, has been a part of the horse racing industry since childhood. His late father, Bob Moore, started working on the track at Hollywood Park in 1946 and Dennis was born three years later. Dennis’ brother, Ron, has also worked at the Southern California tracks. Rob Moore, Dennis’ son, currently does track maintenance at Santa Anita. You have to love it to do this kind of work. At Del Mar in the summer, for instance, he got to the track at 5:30 in the morning and often didn’t
leave until 6:30 at night. For Santa Anita and Del Mar, he stays in a hotel several nights a week because his family lives in Temecula. “He gets up when he’s tired and when he doesn’t have any gas in the engine,” said Chris, married to Dennis for 48 years after they were sweethearts at Bellflower High. “He always goes 110 percent. That’s what drew me to him. He was always a go-getter.” That drive hasn’t always served Moore well. He has suffered two heart attacks and Chris said, tearfully, “There is no medical reason why he should still be here. “Every day is another gift,” she said. The Moores share their blessings with others. Their daughter, Kristin, 45, is developmentally disabled, and in 1991 she began attending the REINS Therapeutic Horsemanship Program in Fallbrook. They have been involved ever since, with both Chris and Kristin regularly volunteering their time. The program uses horses of all kinds, including those retired from racing, and Chris said she sees some amazing transformations in people. “It fills your soul,” Chris said, “to see the magic that happens between a horse and a disabled rider.” The common denominator in it all is horses and the Moores’ love for them. Decades after being welcomed into racing’s family, Chris still marvels at the life she’s made with Dennis. “It’s a great, great sport,” she said, “and I’m proud to be married to a guy who makes a difference in it.” — Tod Leonard is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Preserving La Jolla’s Historic Architecture while Moving into the Future While San Diego isn’t particularly well known for its distinctive architecture, La Jolla is home to some incredible examples of both classic and modernist buildings. In addition, the Village of La Jolla contains pockets of historic homes that have survived the overall expansion and subdivision of the neighborhood and region. Notable structures here include the La Jolla Women’s Club, designed by one of the preeminent Modernist architects, Irving Gill, and the historic Spanish-School style La Valencia hotel, long an icon on La Jolla’s oceanfront. Up on the hill, La Jolla Mesa houses the iconic Salk Institute and the Geisel Library at UCSD, two incredible buildings with
On the residential front, La Jolla is home to is the historic Camino de la Costa, a street that boasts magnificent yet understated homes, most of which are thoroughly modern, yet borrow heavily from San Diego’s past. Looking to the future, many local people worry that new development and evolving technology will cost La Jolla some of the charm that makes this one of the country’s most prestigious neighborhoods. But while this fear exists whenever, and wherever, a community deals with change, La Jolla has a history of effectively adapting to the latest trends and styles. Just look at our history: La Jolla’s homebuilders originally drew from the Spanish Colonial style and mission architecture, building with stucco, wood columns and red tile roofs. Local architects also borrowed the hacienda style from Mexico, and these two styles dominated even into the 20th century. Then, from the mid-1800s until the turn of the 20th century, Victorian-style homes proliferated, before metamorphosing into La Jolla’s vibrant arts and crafts movement, during which craftsman-style homes became

all the rage. In turn, this style gave way — evolved — into smaller versions of craftsmen homes, beach bungalows, creating an image that possibly has defined La Jolla architecture more than any other. Building on La Jolla’s beach-chic aesthetic, the neighborhood saw a boom in Mid-Century Modern architecture in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, a style that once again developed the look of the community. Today, somehow, all of these eclectic styles coexist, with some borrowing from the others. Even La Jolla’s newest and grandest mansions now incorporate much of the look of the old styles, quietly hiding practical, modern features under the glamor and style of more classic architecture. Of course, technology is always changing the way we build, and the debate over local architecture in the future will be about more than just arches versus straight lines. Most homes are now being built with sustainability, green building and technology at the core of the project, transitioning La Jolla into a new architectural phase with eco-consciousness as the guiding philosophy. Not so sure? Even homeowners who are skeptical or hesitant about smart homes likely already have smart appliances, or utilize their smart devices, such as tablets, to operate their
entertainment systems, HVAC or security systems. San Diego, especially La Jolla, has always adapted to blend new designs with traditional ones. The very concept of “traditional” La Jolla architecture has always involved adaptability. In order to appeal to the public, architects and designers will have to continue to appeal to new tastes while retaining and protecting buildings that fall under historical preservation. And, as has been the case throughout La Jolla’s rich history, some of the best breakthroughs in style and function come from blending competing needs. With La Jolla’s storied past in stellar and forward-looking architectural designs, the charm and beauty of the Jewel will remain constantly evolving, and always exciting. At GDC Construction, we have a long tradition of preserving and renovating San Diego’s storied past. And we’re experts in blending that rich past with the very latest in modern design, technology and comfort. Let us help you make the balance between the past and the future on your next construction or renovation project.
