The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s survey on roundabouts versus traffic lights netted a very positive 58 percent return rate, according to RSF Association Manager Bill Overton at the Nov. 5 RSF Association board meeting. The board received very strong direction from Covenant residents, with 73 percent voting in favor of roundabouts, 24 percent supporting traffic lights and 3 percent voting for neither.
The 58 percent rate was impressive, Overton said, compared with nine various votes from 2006 to 2013, where the return rate was 32 to 49 percent. In the 2014 board elections and fitness center feasibility votes, which had the highest return rates over the past 10 years of 74 percent and 71 percent respectively, the top choice received 52 and 53 percent. “For a 73 percent choice on anything in Rancho Santa Fe is a pretty big margin,” Overton said.

New development opportunity in RSF Village — PRESS RELEASE The last three undeveloped parcels in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe, at El Tordo and La Granada, were listed for sale this week by Bill Shrader of Colliers
International’s Urban Property Group. Combined, the three adjacent parcels total 11,644 square feet and are for zoned commercial and residential uses. The parcels have potential for a two-story
mixed-use development composed of retail, office, and residential uses with a possibility to include subterranean parking. “This is a rare development opportunity located in the heart of the
Village, where properties rarely become available,” Shrader said. “As a longtime resident of Rancho Santa Fe and most recently the Village, I am personally excited to see this prime location be developed to its
County updating Local Coastal Program Revision will streamline permit process BY KAREN BILLING San Diego County is working on an update to its Local Coastal Program, which will affect a small sliver of Rancho Santa Fe homeowners who live in the California Coastal Commission’s coastal zone. The Coastal Commission’s coastal zone encompasses areas of Encinitas, Solana Beach and the San Dieguito Planning area, which includes the very western edge of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant. Danny Serrano, a county planner, attended the Rancho Santa Fe Association board’s Nov. 5 meeting to
keep the members updated on the very beginnings of the process. Last November, the Coastal Commission awarded a planning grant to the county to update the Local Coastal Program (LCP) for the portion of the county within the coastal zone. The purpose of the LCP is to guide development within the coastal zone, provide ground rules for future development and protect coastal resources. With an updated coastal program, the county will be able to assume responsibility for issuing coastal development permits, streamlining the
development review process for property owners, Serrano said. “Homeowners in those areas currently have to go to the Coastal Commission for coastal permits, and they also have to go through the county,” Serrano said. “This update, once approved by the county and reviewed by the Coastal Commission, will give the county authority to issue permits in that area.” The county has jurisdiction over about 1,050 acres within the coastal zone. Most parcels are designated for low-density residential use. About 160 acres is designated as open space and 3.5 acres is designated for office use.
The coastal zone also includes San Dieguito Park. “There are no anticipated changes to land-use designations,” Serrano said. Areas addressed in the update will include public access and recreation, water quality, agricultural resources and sensitive habitats. The LCP must also address potential impacts from climate change and sea-level rise. Serrano said this is just the beginning of the process, and there will be a variety of presentations and workshops to solicit feedback from the community. The LCP is expected to be complete by 2017.
highest potential.” This property has been owned by the Millar Family for more than 70 years and was originally acquired by Russ Millar, one of the founding residents of Rancho Santa Fe. It’s been
home to various nurseries over the years and for the past five years has been vacant. Contact Bill Shrader at bill.shrader@colliers.com or 858-677-5324 with any questions.
Alleged drunk driver to stand trial in fatal crash A man who was allegedly drunk and driving on a suspended license when he rear-ended a BMW stuck in traffic on Interstate 5 near Del Mar, killing the driver, was recently ordered to stand trial on murder and other charges. Abraham Beltran, 25, who has prior convictions for driving on a suspended license and driving on a suspended license with excessive alcohol, faces 15 years to life in prison if convicted.
According to testimony at his preliminary hearing, the defendant was traveling between 81 and 89 mph when his Toyota Camry rear-ended the BMW on northbound I-5, just north of Del Mar Heights Road, about 7 a.m. last Feb. 15. The driver of the 2007 BMW, Oscar Melero, 52, of National City, died inside an ambulance. A 2010 Volvo and a 2001 Nissan were also involved in the collision. Trial was set for April 18, 2016.

From war to peace: Subject of famous photo shares story at The Bridges BY DIANE Y. WELCH A photograph captures a defining moment in 1972 during the height of the Vietnam War. A little girl is screaming in pain, trying to outrun the napalm that bombed her village of Tang Bang and that burned her body. The image is forever seared into a global consciousness. Today that child is 52 and is a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Peace. Phan Thi Kim Phuc is considered an international treasure for the work that she now undertakes to help other victims of war-torn countries. The picture, awarded a Pulitzer Prize for AP photographer Nick Ut, illustrated the horrors of war thrust upon an innocent 9-year-old child. Some say the power of that image helped end the war. Phuc shared her subsequent story of “Love, Hope and Forgiveness” with a rapt audience as part of “The Insiders’ Series” at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe on Nov 3. Invited by residents Jennifer and J.R. Meyers, Phuc’s presentation brought tears and reverent silence as she described the haunting day that defined her life and how since then she has suffered unimaginable pain. Phuc’s life was saved by Ut that fateful day in June, 43 years ago, when he covered her naked body and accompanied her to a hospital, where she was given up for dead and placed in the morgue. Her family found her three days later, still alive, but barely. A doctor arranged to have Phuc transferred to a Saigon hospital. After 17 operations, she

With her skin horribly disfigured, Phuc soon discovered — despite her survival — that the pain within her body would never go away. From this act of violence, Phuc’s presentation traced her life, weaving a tale of tenacity as she grew stronger — aided by her loving mother — then went to school and was transferred to Havana University to study English and Spanish, where she met her future husband, Bui Huy Toan. Long haunted by “that picture,” and the fact that the Vietnamese government had used her as a propaganda tool, Phuc knew in her heart that if she was ever going to be allowed the freedom to live on her terms, she would have to defect.

L-R, Ken Ayers, development director at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, Bui Huy Toan, Kim Phuc, JR Meyers. The chance came as the couple were returning to Cuba after a honeymoon in Moscow when their plane took a refueling stop in Newfoundland. They had only split seconds to decide.
But Toan agreed to Phuc’s plan and they never got back on the plane, defecting to Canada where they were free to start a family and lead a normal life, and where they live today with two
adult sons. That plan changed when a photographer sought Phuc out and took a photograph, which once again had her unwittingly gaining worldwide attention.
As her story was being retold, Phuc was invited to speak at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 1996, where she humbly spoke of peace. “I saw the rows upon rows of names. It was very emotional for me,” she recalled. But the event became far more than a public speech when the serviceman who had piloted the plane that bombed her village asked for her forgiveness. Capt. John Plummer had suffered his own open wound since that fateful day, and Phuc did not hesitate to forgive him. “It was a true reconciliation, more powerful than any weapons of war,” she explained. Through her experience, Phuc has learned invaluable life lessons that we can all benefit from. Her belief in her Christian faith, her hope for humanity, and her ability to see the positive aspects of life have changed her perspective from a wounded victim to an ambassador of peace and forgiveness, despite her constant pain. But the most difficult lesson was to take control of “that picture,” she said. For so many years, she wanted to hide from it. “Then I realized I could accept it as a powerful gift, so now I work with that picture for good.” Visit www.kimfoundation. com to learn about Kim Phuc’s charity, founded to support the work of international organizations that provide free medical assistance to children who are victims of war and terrorism. Building schools and hospitals and providing aid for refugees are some of the projects funded since its founding in 1997.

Rancho Santa Fe residents spread message of patriotism with Flag for Hope BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Tim Shanahan has become proudly invested in Flag for Hope, a nationwide social movement of people coming together to recognize America’s shared humanity and send a message of peace and hope for the future. “It’s an effort to pledge allegiance and try to unify the United States again,” Shanahan said. “If I can bring attention to the flag like this and all the outstanding citizens across the country, maybe we can do some good.” Flag for Hope began as a pop-up art project started by artist and Army veteran Marcus Antonio. The goal is to collect about 4,000 American hand and finger impressions in red, white and blue paint on a giant canvas to create the American flag. They plan to travel to more than 150 cities in the country in their efforts. Also, the 50 stars on the flag will represent iconic Americans who have contributed to the strength and well-being of the

Stars so far include Muhammad Ali, Sandra Day O’Connor and John McCain. Flag for Hope has been collecting fingerprints since August and had initially intended to present the flag
and an accompanying documentary to the Smithsonian Institution on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. But the movement has become so big that they are now aiming for February 2016. Shanahan grew up in West
Allis, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee, five blocks from the home of 1994 Olympics gold medal speed skater Dan Jansen and his family. The origins for Shanahan’s involvement in Flag for Hope came from Jansen and
Mike Eruzione, from the 1980 gold medal-winning Olympic hockey team, who contacted Shanahan to ask if he could connect the project with some of his notable friends. Chris Cavedon of Rhode Island, who has
contributed $2 million of his own money to help fund the project, had contacted the pair of Olympians. Shanahan is an Olympian himself, having been an alternate on the Olympic men’s handball team at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. He was in the Olympic Village when 11 Israeli athletes were taken hostage and killed by a Palestinian terrorist group called Black September. Since the 1970s, Shanahan has been close friends with Muhammad Ali, writing the book, “Running With The Champ,” to be released by Simon & Schuster next year. Shanahan was able to get Ali involved in Flag for Hope, as well as get the prints of other celebrity participants like Bill Gates, Brian Wilson, Blake Shelton and Kris Kristofferson. Shanahan has known Kristofferson for years and said the Army veteran, singer and actor is deeply patriotic and very proud of his father, who was a U.S. Air Force major general. “He said when he looks at the flag he only thinks of his SEE FLAG, A10

Falcon Fest inspires students to heal and connect BY KAREN BILLING Falcon Fest returned to Torrey Pines High School for a second year Nov. 2-5. In the words of the students who went through it, the day was: phenomenal, powerful, real, revealing, encouraging, healing, challenging and inspiring. The day is a way to release stress and anxiety, providing a safe place for kids to air their problems. Led by Peer Assistant Listeners (PALS) program advisor Don Collins, kids get a chance to make deep connections with themselves and others and that sense of connection makes for a better school. “It’s about opening up your heart and changing the campus and making it a friendlier place,” Collins said, touching on the Falcon Fest theme of “open wings, open mind, open heart.” For several years, Torrey Pines had Challenge Days presented by facilitators from Challenge Day, a company based out of Concord.

Novelist details life and voice of 19th-century female writer RSF Literary Society hears lecture on Aurore Dupin, who wrote as the male author George Sand BY JOE TASH When novelist Elizabeth Berg came upon a few choice facts about the 19th-century French writer Aurore Dupin — who smoked cigars, often wore men’s clothing and worked under the pen name George Sand — she hungered for more details. Berg searched for a novel to read about Sand to help her gain an artistic appreciation of the writer, who penned more than 80 novels and plays during a 40-year literary career that began in the early 1830s. “There were no novels, so I had to write one,” said Berg, who spoke at the Nov. 5 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, kicking off the group’s 2015-2016 season. The result of her efforts is “The Dream Lover,” a novelized, first-person account of Sand’s life, published in 2015 by Random House. Berg steeped herself in

She read biographies, many of Sand’s novels, as well as books on the history and fashions of the times. She also read letters between Sand and some of her famous friends, such as Gustave Flaubert, author of “Madame Bovary.” Most of the story is true to life, said Berg, although she did imagine some key scenes and also invented both dialogue and the thoughts of her main character. “She had such an extraordinary life, there was
very little reason to gild the lily,” said Berg, the author of some 25 books, including the novels “Open House,” “Talk Before Sleep,” and “Durable Goods.” The book details Sand’s childhood, and the critical decision she made at age 27 to leave an unhappy marriage and move to Paris, where she launched her literary career. “We rolled slowly through the gates of the estate, and then the driver turned the carriage onto the main road, which made a clicking sound, and the horses began a rapid trot. When we passed the cemetery that lay
directly to our right, I looked over the graves of my father and my grandmother. I thought about the ways in which one is shaped, starting from birth and even before, into the person one becomes. One cannot stand isolated from those who came before him, and fate decrees that there are many other things over which one has no control. Yet if one has courage and resolve, there are ways to make changes in one’s life,” Sand muses as she departs from Nohant, in an excerpt from “The Dream Lover.” Sand takes a job reviewing plays for a literary magazine, and is told by her editor that she must buy her own tickets for the performances. The editor said women were allowed to sit only in expensive box seats, but men could stand or sit in cheaper parts of the theater, and that if she dressed in men’s clothing she could save money. Later, Sand embraced her male persona, enjoying what she perceived as more respectful treatment. In the novel, Berg addresses the feminist issues
confronted by her chief protagonist, who chafed at the laws and customs of the day that were discriminatory against women. For example, although Sand inherited her grandmother’s estate, her estranged husband retained fiscal control of the property even after the couple’s separation. Also, a man could divorce a woman for infidelity, while a woman had no such legal right. Despite the trials and tribulations that Sand experienced in her quest for love, she did not give up on the deep-seated desire to meet and fall in love with her soul mate. “She prized the ideal of marriage and family life, but she didn’t see the ideal playing out, she saw a lot of inequities playing out,” Berg said. “She was a product of the age of Romanticism. She was in love with being in love.” The novel chronicles Sand’s romances and friendships with many prominent male and female artistic figures, from writers such as Balzac and Alfred de Musset, to the pianist and

composer Frederic Chopin, to the famous actress Marie Dorval. Through her reading, Berg believes that Dorval was the great love of Sand’s life. But the two never established a permanent relationship, and Dorval died, broke and nearly forgotten, at 51. Sand died at age 71 at Nohant, in 1876. Berg, who lives in Chicago, is on a speaking tour organized by Northern Trust, which is also the sponsor of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society. “I think it’s amazing, that in a world where we keep talking about the demise of books and reading, that this kind of thing exists,” said Berg. She is also a fan of book clubs, and is thrilled when a club chooses one of her novels to read. Even when people disagree over an interpretation of a scene or theme in a book, Berg said, they benefit by hearing and acknowledging a point of view different from their own. “More book clubs equals world peace, if you ask me,” she said.

Holocaust survivor’s valuable history lesson ‘A lot of things that happened to me I attribute to luck’
BY KAREN BILLING Holocaust survivor Vicky Hartman shared her unforgettable experience as a young Jewish girl during World War II with R. Roger Rowe School eighth-graders at a special assembly on Nov. 4. The students heard from a living part of history whose story was, at times, terrifying and horrible — but it is a necessary lesson to learn and remember. Rancho Santa Fe School Board President Todd Frank and his wife, Lynn, arranged for the special visit, because the eighth-graders are studying World War II and the Holocaust and reading “The Diary of Anne Frank.” “These opportunities are very special, to connect with and learn about someone who was actually living in that time,” said R. Roger Rowe Middle School Principal Garrett Corduan. “This is one of those moments in their life that they will always remember.” After her talk for the entire eighth-grade class, Hartman shared lunch, further discussion and family photographs with five students who had gone above and beyond in class, reading advanced and numerous texts on World War II: Caneel Young, Lila Bobertz, Taber Bell, Riley Clotfelter and Hannah Lolly. “Prejudice is a very hurtful thing,” Hartman told the students, sitting in a semicircle around her in the Performing Arts Center. “I was just an innocent child who experienced prejudice in a horrible way.” Hartman was born in Lodz, Poland, and was almost 5 when the war broke out; she remembers lots of noise, sirens and confusion. As her Jewish family was too well-known in their town, they were advised to go to the larger city of Warsaw, where they might have a better chance at keeping a low profile. Hartman’s mother, an attorney, and her father, a successful businessman, left

made arrangements for them to stay with another couple. The new arrangements were quite comfortable, but they didn’t last long, as relentless bombing of the city destroyed their safe house and they were forced to live on the street. “So many people had been bombed out that nobody knew where anybody belonged,” Hartman said. The family lived on the street, living only on bread, onions and occasionally horsemeat. Some nuns in a

After about eight months, the Germans mandated that all Jewish people had to register or face punishment, so the family complied. As Jews, the whole family was forced to relocate into the Warsaw Ghetto to live and work under German control. They had to wear armbands for identification, and three to four families were crammed into one-bedroom apartments in a very dilapidated neighborhood. “We weren’t used to it, because we had a very nice life before that,” Hartman said. “We couldn’t really leave the ghetto, there was a big fence with barbed wire and broken glass at the top … I remember getting together with my cousins at a little school. I remember dancing in a paper dress my mother made me.” Hartman’s father noticed that many people were being sent out of the ghetto on trains, and stories trickled down that they were being sent to labor or gas camps. He made plans with the members of the Polish resistance, the partisans, to get false passports and get his family out of the ghetto. Their 22 other relatives were hesitant about leaving the ghetto and decided to stay
behind. Hartman was driven out of the ghetto in a car, hiding under a bunch of supplies, with the plan to meet up with her parents at a safe house, a mortuary. Her parents were miraculously able to slip away from a work detail in the city and meet up with her. “A lot of things that happened to me I attribute to luck, because it was almost impossible,” Hartman said. “How could they have escaped? It was like a movie.” At the mortuary, she had to sleep in a casket to keep from being discovered. “I was really scared, but I trusted my mom and went to sleep,” said Hartman. “It was one of my most horrifying experiences in the war.” The family paid to hide in one room of an apartment owned by a Polish couple. During the day while the couple were at work, they were allowed to cook in the kitchen and be in the living room with the shades down, but once the couple returned they had to stay in the bedroom and keep the door closed. When the couple had visitors, they had to hide in a 4-foot-wide crawl space between the walls. “I was usually quiet and obedient, because they told

Vicky Hartman and her parents were the only three of 25 family members in Poland to survive the Holocaust (1945). me if I made a noise we could all die,” Hartman said, recalling one scary moment when she sneezed and the couple had to tell their guests it was the cat. “I was really frightened by that.” For two years, she never got to go outside. Her parents gave her reading and arithmetic lessons every day to keep her occupied. Sometimes, at night, her father would allow her to lift the shade a tiny bit just so she could look at the street. It was always empty. One day in 1943, the sky turned bright red, and they read in the paper that the Germans had burned the ghetto. They had no way of knowing what happened to their relatives. After a visit from the police to the apartment, the family decided it was no longer safe there and they had to leave. The partisans
Catholic church nearby had taken to giving hot cocoa to the children, so one afternoon Hartman went to stand in line with the others. A couple of older boys started to tease her, calling her “Jew girl!” and catching the attention of a German soldier nearby. The soldier yelled at her and Hartman ran away. “I was running really fast, but I started to feel funny because my leg was really warm,” Hartman said. “I looked down and saw my leg was all bloody and that he had shot me.” Running on adrenaline, only 8 years old, Hartman found her way into a storeroom and hid under a pile of straw. She passed out from the pain until a friend of her father’s found her. The next day, the Germans started sending everyone out of the city. Her
mother was sent to another part of the country with the nurses. As Hartman could not walk, her father carried her. They were forced to walk out of the city for nearly eight hours. The people were split up and because of Hartman’s injury, her father was able to go with her to the group of people who were sent to the hospital. By this time, her leg was infected and with the threat of losing her leg, her father was able to find a surgeon to treat her. Hartman and her father were able to stay in the hospital safely until the war’s end, her father finding work at the facility and her attorney mother passing as a nurse in the hospital in the other city. The nurses were suspicious of Hartman’s “dark Jewish eyes,” but she had learned Catholic prayers to say with them and remain undetected. After the war ended, the family was able to return to Lodz, where their home, incredibly, was still intact. As it was one of the nicer homes in the city, a German officer had taken it to live in. “It was surreal because an unbelievable thing happened to us — we were away for three years and everything was still there,” Hartman said. Her father had buried some of their most treasured belongings and they were able to recover them. One item, a family ring more than 100 years old, was hidden behind a brick in the stove. Hartman still wears it sometimes. Some of Hartman’s uncles had come to the United States before the war. The family waited three years in Sweden before getting their visas to come to America. Of the 25 family members in Poland at the start of the war, Hartman and her parents were the only survivors. To this day, she does not know what happened to them or how they perished, whether it was in the ghetto or in one of the camps. Hartman is grateful to have survived and to be able to live in this country. “You are very lucky to be an American,” she told the students. “We are very, very free and this is the best country in the world — don’t ever forget it. We should be proud.”

brothers who fought in the war, saying, ‘All gave some, but some gave all,’” he said of Kristofferson, who is a star on the flag. Shanahan also submitted his childhood friend Bob Wieland to be a star on the flag. Wieland is a Vietnam War veteran whom President Ronald Reagan once called “Mr. Inspiration.” Wieland lost both legs in the war and went on to become the first and only double amputee to complete the Kona Ironman without a wheelchair. Shanahan set everything aside to focus on Flag for Hope and has traveled to cities “nonstop” to keep building on the flag. “It’s a great privilege and honor to do what we’re doing,” he said. The stories of everyday Americans who participate are all truly moving and touching, he said. In New Orleans, the flag got the prints of restaurant owner Allen Jaegar, whose family has lost their business three times to hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina. They persevered to save and

restore the home and business they created. In Maine, the project visited the “Freeport Flag Ladies,” who have waved their American flags every Tuesday since 9/11. In Arizona, a 95-year-old World War II veteran who was in the hospital recovering from a leg amputation put his fingerprints on the flag. The team brought the flag to him in the hospital. In Minnesota, Anne Sweeney, whose brother was on the plane that struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11, shared her story and prints. In Massachusetts, Rick and Dick Hoyt of Team Hoyt joined the flag. Dick Hoyt has run the Boston Marathon 32 times with his son Rick, who has been in a wheelchair his entire life
because of cerebral palsy. In San Diego, Shanahan thought of Bertrand Hug, the owner of Rancho Santa Fe’s Mille Fleurs restaurant and downtown’s Bertrand at Mister A’s, as an ideal addition to the flag and someone who would be a fine representation of the city. “Bertrand and his wife, Denise, are two of the most patriotic people in the country,” Shanahan said. “I knew this would be perfect for him.” Hug placed his fingerprints on the Flag for Hope atop Mister A’s, with San Diego sparkling below. Shanahan said it was a great moment, hearing Hug explain what the flag means to him. “I am a French-American, and I would have never achieved what I have achieved in America in France,” Hug said. “When I look at the American flag, I think of freedom and opportunity. “I’m just a simple owner of two outstanding restaurants in San Diego, so proud to be an American ... I will never stop thanking America for this opportunity to be a successful American.”

Santa Fe Christian volleyball team features sister act on defense BY KAREN BILLING A year apart and almost the same height, and both defensive-minded volleyball players for Santa Fe Christian, Taryn and Camryn Tastad have often been mistaken for twins. They’ve been called Caren and Tamryn and all matter of names in between, but the close, complementary sister duo takes the mix-ups as flattery, as they each couldn’t be prouder of the other. The pair of liberos had never played on the same team before last year, when Camryn
COURTESY PHOTO
Santa Fe Christian volleyball teammates, sisters Taryn and Camryn Tastad. was the only freshman to make the varsity squad. Since they both played the same position, it definitely made for a challenging experience. “I was always loving and supporting her, but also, I was working against her,” said Taryn, a 17-year-old senior. “Halfway through the season, we came to support each other no matter what and became each other’s No. 1 fan. It was a unique situation, and it’s helped our relationship grow.” Both girls have played for the WAVE Volleyball Club for seven years under the direction of Brennan Dean, also the head coach at Torrey Pines High School. With WAVE, they have competed in the Junior National Championships in Dallas, Columbus, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and have won silver medals in the Nationals. They have won Southern California Volleyball Association (SCVA) Qualifiers and
have traveled to many qualifiers in Reno, Spokane, Minneapolis, Dallas and more. “Taryn and Camryn have been longtime WAVE athletes and have been so much fun to watch grow over the years. They are constantly working hard and inspiring their teammates to do the same with their high energy and leadership on the court,” said Dean. “It’s great to have a set of siblings in our club that motivate each other to be the best they can be and compete at the highest level all the time. They are so much fun to coach, and it is a pleasure having them as part of our program.” Taryn has been recognized as a UT Scholar Athlete for the past three years, maintaining a 4.5 GPA while holding a class schedule of five AP classes this year. She is the president of Santa Fe Christian Business Leaders Club and the marketing manager for a technology start- up company. Taryn was a two-sport athlete her freshman and sophomore year, playing volleyball and soccer. But she decided to focus solely on volleyball. “I feel volleyball is more a team sport; you can’t win a volleyball game with just one good player on the team,” Taryn said. She has played on the varsity team for three years and is this season’s team captain, leading the team in digs. Taryn is still weighing her options for college, but she knows for sure she would like to continue playing volleyball at the next level. Camryn, a 16-year-old sophomore, has also been recognized as a UT Scholar and maintains a high GPA. Her WAVE volleyball team took first place in the SCVA in 2015 and she was recognized as the High School Fall Classic All Tournament player two years in a row in 2014 and 2015. Her dream is to play college volleyball in the Pac-12. This year the sister act roams the back row together, digging and passing and making sure nothing hits the floor. “I think she’s the most hardworking teammate I’ve ever had,” said Camryn of her sister. “There’s not a play that she doesn’t go all-out, and I admire that about her.” Before every game, they do a sisterly chest bump and are constantly cheering for each other on the court. If she struggles, “The only person I hear is Camryn on the sidelines. I hear her words of encouragement and get pumped right back up,” Taryn said. Playoffs begin next week in the Coastal League and the duo has high hopes for the Eagles going far. They will play for WAVE when the season concludes and are soaking up these last few games on the court together. “Camryn is the most driven and competitive player I’ve played with. She has a love for the game and it shows in how dedicated she is to the sport — it’s overwhelming,” Taryn said of her sister. “Playing together is an experience — not something many sisters get to have — and I’ll never forget it.”

FROM ROUNDABOUT, A1 clear that overwhelmingly this community prefers roundabouts,” board member Philip Wilkinson said. The Association’s long history with this project goes back to around 2002. 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 $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 environmental impact report (EIR) circulated in 2008, and in 2010 it was revised to include Rancho Santa Fe’s lighting suggestions. 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 La Valle Plateada/Montevideo and the Via de la Valle roundabouts and do a complete study of traffic signals at those intersections. The Association 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. “We voted on what was in the best interest of the community,” Vice President Heather Slosar said. Immediately afterward, though, a group of residents challenged the decision and wanted a bigger
process. They backed up their request by gathering almost 1,000 signatures. As a result, the board approved conducting the community-wide survey. Moving forward, Associate Planner Larry Roberts said the Association can have some input on the design of the roundabouts, but the county must adhere to certain guidelines. The Association has requested that the diameter of the roundabouts be as small as possible — 110 feet, down from 118 feet. As Roberts noted, the smaller they are, the less impact they will have. At the meeting, one roundabout advocate said the focus now should be on making sure that neighboring property owners’ land is respected. The Association has also worked with the county about the lighting preferred — less bright, discreet
lighting only to illuminate the roundabouts for safety. The fixtures won’t exceed 15 feet in height and will be dark earth-toned or black. Safe equestrian crossings have also been a stated priority. Pedestrian- and equestrian-height push-button controls would activate in-pavement lighting and above-ground flashing beacons at the crosswalks. The equestrian height push-button controls would also activate advance flashing warning signs located between 400 and 500 feet from the crossings at each leg of the intersection. Roberts said once there is a defined project, it will be put in the county’s queue and evaluated based on need, benefits and the cost for the funding cycle. The timeline for project construction is not known at this time.

FROM VOTING, A1
when they had been judged for their bodies, whether because they were considered too big or too small. Many crossed for being teased about their clothes, or for wearing glasses or having braces. When students — and parents — crossed for being hurt or judged because of the color of their skin, those on the other side sent messages of love and support through hand signals. Nearly everyone crossed when asked whether they had ever felt alone or lonely, and more than half the group crossed when asked whether they had dealt with divorce. One parent leader, who was divorced, said her family group talked a lot about their struggles with divorce. She said no parents wanted their children to end up on the other side of that line. Four students bravely crossed when the facilitator asked whether anyone had ever been homeless. “Today made me realize that I wasn’t the only one who experiences this situation; it opened my eyes that there are people who will stand by you,” said one of the students who has been homeless. “I want to thank Mr. Collins for showing me that.” Many grew very emotional when crossing to show they had dealt with substance abuse, mental illness or loss of a close family member. Collins said he was impressed by the courage, honesty and respect the students showed during the powerful exercise. He told the students that when they experience a hardship, they could choose to get stuck in the pain or choose happiness, to accept help and give help. “Kids need to hear this as they are developing their skills for living well so they don’t end up leaking their pain out each day in depression, aggression, or addiction,” he said. Collins said the hope for the day is to raise the awareness and to help each person decide to
Davis-Stirling Act and the California Corporations Code, which regulate homeowners associations. The proposed changes to the voting process would give condo owners individual voting rights. In addition, single, divorced or widowed property owners, who receive only one Association vote, would get two votes, the same number accorded to properties with two or more owners. The voting rules would also be simplified, doing away with a lengthy registration form — all property owners would automatically be eligible to vote. Wasserman said the governing document committee expects to meet a few more times by December to finalize the updates, and they will then be posted to the Association website for review. The committee hopes to present at the January or February board meeting, and ballots will then be mailed to Association members for a vote. If approved, the new rules would take effect July 1, 2016.

Leaders Natalie Crook and Don Collins. make a choice to be positive and kind rather than harsh or mean. “I think when you do things like this, sharing your fears and insecurities, it’s amazing how close you can get to people,” said one senior. “I want to take these ideas to the rest of the campus.” “I learned to be more tolerant of people,” said one sophomore. “You can make snap judgments about people when you’re actually pretty ignorant as to who they are. This experience has made me courageous and taught me to respect more people that I don’t know.” At the end of the session, the students were asked to write a thank-you note to someone who had been a hero in their lives. One student, a junior who was new to the school from Chicago, wrote his letter to his father, who served as a volunteer leader for Falcon Fest. “I love being your son; you’re a great father, no matter what,” he read to his dad. Needless to say, Kleenex could have easily sponsored Falcon Fest for the amount of tears dropped over these kinds of touching moments, prompted by opened hearts and minds. “I’ve heard from some people that we shouldn’t spend the time and effort to put on this, because the effects don’t last. Well, neither does taking a shower or brushing your teeth,” Collins said. “More importantly, kids are walking around carrying all types of hurt and pain. Many of them have never expressed it or recognized how it impacts their treatment of themselves and others. They don’t see how it impacts their ability to focus, to perform or to be happy. Falcon Fest is a chance to have a lot of fun and connect in a way that is truly transformative.”
FROM CONTRACT, A1 enforcement. Input from the RSF Patrol and community member complaints informs where the CHP focuses their enforcement efforts. This year, supplemental CHP patrols were asked to address parking issues within the village. Mangan said the increased attention, conversations with people and ticketing have helped with parking compliance. The number of citations has doubled from the same time period last year, with already 100 citations issued. The supplemental patrol has also focused on problems with cyclists in the community and helped out with this year’s Halloween parade, which Mangan said the officers all greatly enjoyed participating. The patrol’s priorities are targeting dangerous issues such as driving under the influence, speed, and intersection and cellphone violations. “It’s most important to make sure that we’re saving lives,” Mangan said. “Those things remain our focus.”

Dancers, puppets, lamas star in ‘Oldest Boy’ at San Diego Repertory Theater
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT What if you were a young American mother and one day a couple of Tibetan monks came to your door, told you your 3-year-old son was the reincarnation of a revered Buddhist lama, and asked you to let them take him to their monastery in India, so he could be raised as the spiritual teacher they knew him to be? That’s the central question of “The Oldest Boy,” a luminous new production coming Thursday, Nov. 12, to San Diego Repertory Theater. Written by multi-award-winner Sarah Ruhl, it’s a far cry from the playwright’s “In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play,” staged by the Rep in 2011, though it does sound a lot like “Little Buddha,” a 1993 film by Bernardo Bertolucci, in which a Seattle couple is visited by Tibetans who think their son may be a reincarnated lama. But “The Oldest Boy” has a style and approach all its own. For one thing, the 3-year-old boy is played by a puppet, worked by a pair of dancing puppeteers and voiced by a Tibetan actor/singer/dancer/musician who is, in fact, the Oldest Boy. Tsering Dorjee Bawa, born in Tibet, raised in India, and based in the Bay Area, was an integral part of the New York production at Lincoln Center Theater last year, appearing onstage, and acting as a cultural consultant who made sure all the Tibetan details were right. Fresh from playing the Oldest Boy at the Marin Theatre Company in Mill Valley, he is reprising the role here, along with his continuing role as cultural consultant. Ruhl, who, besides being a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, Tony nominee, and this year’s most-produced female playwright in the country, is also the mother of three children, has said that the play was inspired by conversations with a longtime babysitter, originally from Tibet. After recounting her harrowing escape from Chinese–occupied Tibet to India, the woman shared a more recent story about Tibetan friends of hers in Boston who were visited by Buddhist monks and informed that their son was a reincarnated lama. They were now living in India, where the boy was in a monastery, being raised as a Buddhist priest. The story made Ruhl consider what it meant to be a mother wanting the best for her child, but torn between personal attachment and spiritual commitment. And so “The Oldest Boy” was born. Director Sam Woodhouse said Ruhl is one of his favorite writers. “She’s profound, whimsical, intimate and expansive,” he said. “And ‘The Oldest Boy’ is a fascinating, extraordinary piece of work. The story it tells and the way she tells it make for rich, complex, delightful theater.” He called the play “funny, mysterious, magical, beautiful and exotic.” Can’t beat that.
It’s a meditation on loving and letting go with gorgeous costumes (some from a Tibetan cultural center in the Bay Area), ethnic dance, gongs, bells, drums, masks and puppetry. Plus, it’s a chance to learn something about Buddhism, and the resilience and beauty of Tibetan culture. Sounds like a winning combination for the REP and audiences too. “The Oldest Boy” plays Nov. 12-Dec. 6 on the Lyceum Stage, San Diego REPertory Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego. Tickets: $33-$66. Students, $20. Call 619-544-1000; visit sdrep.org.

Swell Coffee team reawakens longtime Flower Hill coffee shop space • Owner John Vallas’ passion for the brew creates successful venture BY KAREN BILLING When the Swell Coffee team gets together to drink coffee, it is quite the experience. Owner John Vallas and staff slurp (the accepted term) from their cups, trying to capture all of the different flavor notes on their taste buds. They take note of the aroma and always make sure to taste blends at different cooling points as a cup could taste like chocolate and caramel when hot — but like fig and molasses when it cools a bit. Last week, their refined coffee palates were able to pick up notes of lemon, grapefruit and white pepper in a newly acquired bean from Kenya. “Needless to say, everyone’s always really wired at Swell,” said Vanessa Corrales, the general manager of A special cup at Swell Coffee. Swell Coffee in Mission Beach and its new location in Flower Hill Promenade. Swell slid into the former Pannikin Coffee spot on Aug. 1, taking over Café Cantata after a brief run. Flower Hill sought out Swell to fill the longtime coffeehouse space, as over the past eight months, Swell has really started to flow, launching its own coffee roasting operation. Swell Coffee has been around since 2011, when Vallas bought Café Mono in Mission Beach. Although he has been drinking coffee since he was 12 years old, the coffee business world was very new to Vallas when he purchased Mono — he had been in the Navy for 10 years, working on submarines, doing things like explosive ordinance disposal. “The first time I pulled an espresso shot was after I bought the café in Mission Beach,” Vallas said. Though he was new to the business, he had developed a passion for coffee while working 12-hour shifts during his six months of deployments on the subs. He would chug coffee to stay awake for late-night shifts that started at 11 p.m. After he got out of the Navy, he wasn’t sure what to do next — but he recalled his youth in Raleigh, N.C., where he’d always enjoyed spending time in the “super warm environment” of coffee shops. He said he had his “a-ha moment” when he came across a paper

Photos by Karen Billing from a personal development class where he’d listed his passions as his daughter, good food, good coffee, surfing and being by the beach. “I thought, ‘Forget everything else, just find this and I will be happy.’ I looked around to find something in alignment with my passions, and I found the café. There were so many red flags, but I couldn’t let it go.” Vallas said after he bought Mono in November 2011, he promptly ran out of money by February 2012. But spring break came, with tourists and beachgoers, and he was OK. Then he made it to summer. Swell was able to get its feet planted and has grown steadily from there, including roasting all of its own coffee.

Literary prizes ‘echo’ for local novelist Pam Muñoz Ryan BY JOHN WILKEN, SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW Encinitas author Pam Muñoz Ryan incorporated a fairy tale into her latest children’s novel, “Echo.” Now she’s the one enjoying the happy ending. Four times in the past two weeks she’s won a literary award, including the Kirkus Prize, which comes with $50,000, one of the most lucrative honors in the writing world. She also captured a top German prize for children’s literature, middle-grade book of the year from the Southern California Independent Booksellers Association, and the Ludington Award for lifetime achievement, previously won by the likes of Lois Lowry, Katherine Paterson, Jon Scieszka, and La Jolla writer Brian Selznick. “I’m a 20-year overnight success,” Ryan said, laughing. The author of more than 30 books, Ryan, 63, has won other awards over the years and is probably best known for “Esperanza Rising,” an immigrant tale published 15 years ago and still taught in schools nationwide. In January, Time magazine named it one of the 100 best children’s novels of all time. But she’s never won anything as big as the Kirkus, which is just two years old but already respected in literary circles, and she’s never won so many prizes in such short order. “It just doesn’t happen like that,” she said. “I should buy a lottery ticket.” There’s always been a bit of serendipity to Ryan’s writing career. Her plan was to teach literature, not write it. She was getting a master’s degree in postsecondary education at San Diego State when one of her professors asked her to stay after class one day. “Have you ever considered writing professionally?” the teacher asked. Ryan hadn’t, but she gave it a try, and that sense of experimentation continues to color her work. “She’s somebody who’s really interested in stretching out,” said Jerry Griswold, former director of SDSU’s National Center for the Study of Children’s Literature. Starting with “One Hundred Is a Family,” published in 1994, her books defy easy categorization because they don’t always follow the same structure and because they’ve been about a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial. “Becoming Naomi León” drew criticism because it has a mother who is an alcoholic. “Esperanza Rising,” based in part on Ryan’s own Mexican grandmother, was attacked by some who didn’t like its depiction of class and illegal immigration. “Echo,” published in February, has drawn wide praise, including a starred notice in Kirkus Reviews, the 80-year-old publishing industry magazine. It called the novel “a grand narrative that examines the power of music to inspire beauty in a world overrun with fear and intolerance.” Getting a starred review — there were 1,032 of them this year —made “Echo” eligible for the Kirkus Prize, which is awarded in three categories: fiction, nonfiction and young

Six finalists were named in each category and the winners were announced Oct. 15 at a dinner in Austin, Texas. Ryan didn’t attend. She was in Germany. At another award ceremony. A phone call The German Children’s Literature Award has been given annually since 1956. Ryan was nominated for “The Dreamer,” a book about the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, winner of the Nobel Prize. The novel was published in the U.S. in 2010, but translated into German for the first time last year, which made it eligible for the award. The ceremony was held in conjunction with the Frankfurt Book Fair, the largest in the world, and after “The Dreamer” won — the prize included 10,000 Euros, which Ryan split with her illustrator and translator — she went back to her hotel room. She was awakened at 2:30 a.m. with word that she had won the Kirkus, too. “I didn’t go back to sleep,” she said.

The eardrum is located at the end of your ear canal. Your ear drum catches sound waves, vibrates, and begins a chain reaction. Your eardrum is connected to the first of three bones. We will check to ensure your eardrum is healthy.
This movement vibrates against the oval window in your cochlea, sending sound waves through this snail shaped organ.
Hearing Problem #1 The ear canal’s job is to funnel sound to your ear drum. Sometimes the canal becomes plugged with wax, and mimics a hearing loss because it blocks sound from reaching your eardrum. Use of a cotton swab will pack wax even more. We will check for impacted wax with a video ear camera to see if this is a problem.
Hearing Problem #2 The three tiny bones of your middle ear Auditory Cortex conduct sound between your ear drum and of the brain your cochlea. Otosclerosis is the calcification of these bones, resulting in conductive hearing loss. About 10% of people have this type of loss.
When the hair cells move, they send an electrical impulse through the Auditory Nerve to your brain. Then you hear sound!

Hearing Problem #3 The cochlea is a snail-shaped organ containing thousands of living hair cells called stereocilia. A condition known as sensorineural hearing loss (nerve type hearing loss) occurs when any of the hair cells become damaged.About 90% of hearing loss is this type. A new hearing device has now been released that is programmed specifically for the frequencies of hair cells that are damaged, resulting in improved speech understanding.

Long shot Full Ransom wins Kathryn Crosby Stakes at Del Mar Racetrack It was a big weekend for jockey Santiago Gonzalez, as he piloted the winners of both stakes races this past weekend. On Saturday, Nov. 8, he rode Full Ransom to victory in the $82,900 Kathryn Crosby Stakes. Gonzalez’s mount — the longest shot in the field at 17-1 — ran down favorite Chaulk O Lattey in the stretch and won by 1 1/4 lengths. Beat of the Drum finished a half-length farther back to come in third. Full Ransom, a 4-year-old filly, covered the 1 1/16 miles on the Jimmy Durante Turf Course in 1:41.72. Among those who joined her in the winner’s circle were the DP Racing stable of Deron Pearson of Las Vegas and trainer Jim Cassidy (pictured). Gonzalez also was victorious on favorite My Monet in the $100,000 Betty Grable Stakes on Sunday.

D’Ercole is known for her custom pieces in 14-karat white, yellow and rose gold, with precious and semiprecious gemstones from all over the world, all hand-made in her Los Angeles studio. In addition to jewelry, the shop features D’Ercole’s own curated selection of clothing. Born in New York and raised in the Del Mar area, D’Ercole began designing jewelry more than 20 years ago. By her late teens, she was wire-wrapping custom jewelry for friends, not knowing at the time that she was taking the first steps into the field that would become her life’s passion. Demand for her pieces quickly grew from a few designs worn by close friends, to a score of private clients, which led to a presence within retail stores and eventually a store of her own first in Solana Beach and then Del Mar.

LEFT: Dane Morris, 8, rides a wave at Swami’s in Encinitas. Morris is a top ranked surfer in his U-9 age bracket in Western Surfing Association. — K.C. Alfred
8-year-old surfer enjoys top SoCal ranking BY PAM KRAGEN, SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW Three months ago, Jeff Morris thought his 8-year-old son, Dane, might be ready to test the waves in the Western Surfing Association’s Under-9 division. The Encinitas third-grader was practically born on a board and has been surfing on his own since the age of 4. But Morris worried that putting his happy-go-lucky kid up against the top-ranked “micro grom” surfers in Southern California could be rough. “I thought he’d get slaughtered out there.” Instead, Dane has quickly risen to the No. 1 spot in the rankings. Three tournaments into the 2015-2016 WSA/SALT Life Championship Tour Series, Dane has accumulated more points than any of the other 22 boys in the bracket and he won first place at the most recent competition Oct. 10 at Mission Beach. Encinitas youth surfing coach Matt Allen describes Dane as a surprisingly good surfer for his age. “He’s amazing and he’s got a great attitude,” said Allen, who is head surf coach at Sage Creek High in Carlsbad and owner of Maui Surf Academy in Encinitas. “He’s so sweet and normal on land, but fearless and chasing waves on the water.” Dane’s fast rise in the WSA surprised his parents. Unlike many of the other boys in his bracket who surf daily, Dane hits the surf break at Swami’s only about one or two hours a week, and those sessions include ample time for playing in the water and doing cartwheels on the shore. “He just does it for fun. If he doesn’t want to go, we don’t go,” said Dane’s mom, Kim Morris, a real estate agent. “The pres-
sure is very low because having balance in our family is super important.” Dane is a second-generation surfer. Jeff Morris, 48, said he started surfing at age 10. He made the surf team at UC Santa Barbara and competed at what he calls the “semi wannabe pro” level in the 1980s. The mortgage broker still surfs two to three hours every day and always dreamed of passing that passion on to his children. Daughters Kirra, 16, and Sage, 14, unfortunately never warmed to the sport. But when a son came along in 2007, Jeff was determined to make him a surfer. They named him Dane Curren Morris (after famed California surfers Dane Reynolds and Tommy Curren) and by the age of 1, he was catching waves in his dad’s arms aboard a 9-foot foam board. The Morrises posted several “Dane Curren” videos on Youtube that chart his progress standing up on a board with his dad’s help at ages 2 and 3 and then going solo at 4. The latest video, posted three months ago, shows how Dane has developed a fast-turning, controlled style that local surfers say is unusual for boys his age. At 5, he entered his first Encinitas youth tournament. The 6-and-under bracket was full so he was grouped with 8- and 9-year-olds and came in third place. Kim said her son enjoys winning but never gets ruffled at competitions. Dane is a boy of few words, but with prodding he says the faster and bigger the waves, the more relaxed he feels. “All I think about out there is having fun and trying to pop off (make a turn). I’m never scared,” he said. Bruce Green, a 40-year surfer from Cardiff, has watched Dane grown up on the board. He said the 48-pound Capri ElemenSee SURFER, page B16

Mustangs Rugby holding free Rugby Day Nov. 15 The San Diego Mustangs youth rugby club are conducting a free rugby demonstration day at Ocean Air Park, 4770 Fairport Way, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15. The club plays youth rugby — the fastest- growing team sport in America — and fields teams for players ages 6 to 18. New players are welcome to come out and get instruction from leading coaches, including Matt Hawkins, former captain and coach of the USA 7s. Activities will include fundamental skills such as Mustangs U18 competing in the 2015 Pacific Cup passing, evasive running and Photo courtesy Denise Cavanagh tackling drills. Throughout the day, touch rugby will be played for each age group with the U8s starting at 10 a.m. A demonstration touch game will be held at 12:30 p.m. with the U18s taking on their coaches. The Mustangs have a national reputation, with the U18s finishing third in the Pacific Cup last year. The Pacific Cup had the best teams from California, Hawaii and Arizona including one of the top U18 teams in the country from Danville Oaks. Success for the U18 team has led to college opportunities for a number of Mustangs alumni, with players from the past few years going to college rugby programs at West Point, University of California and Saint Mary’s, to name a few. All Mustang coaches are nationally trained and certified, and pass stringent safety and background checks. Many coaches have played internationally, and a handful represented their country in past World Cups. Matt Hawkins, former coach and captain of the USA 7’s national team, has both his sons playing with the U8 Mustangs. “I found the Mustangs Club very well run, and the coaching provides a fun experience where kids learn all the basic rugby skills,” said Hawkins. The recent Rugby World Cup final played in London was broadcast live on NBC and has bought significant exposure to the game. Torrey Pines High School and Cathedral Catholic, and many other local high schools now play rugby as a varsity sport. Don’t miss the opportunity to expose your young athletes to this sport.

Rancho Santa Fe’s Freedom to Live Golf Tournament a success A record number of golf enthusiasts turned out for the Freedom to Live Golf Tournament held recently at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. The yearly fundraiser helps support those with spinal cord injuries and their families. Pro Golfer Tom Pernice Jr. and National Football League Hall of Fame inductee Andre Reed were among the participants. Executive Director Sian Welch says the event raises funds allowing people living with catastrophic injuries to live more independently at home again.

tary student rides bigger waves than most kids his age, and he can do it with style. “He’s definitely got skills,” Green said. “Kids at that age can get over-amped a lot, but he’s smoother and can do solid maneuvers. He’s very quiet and mellow and always seems to be having a good time.” On a recent morning, Jeff and Dane tugged on their wetsuits, coated their lips and faces with sunblock, then headed down the cliff to Swami’s with their boards. Like his dad, Dane rides an old-school wide “odd” board with a 1980-era deck patch. Jeff paddled ahead into the waves, with Dane towing behind, holding onto his dad’s feet. Within minutes, Dane whipped his board around, leapt to his feet and caught a five-foot wave for a good 10 to 12 seconds, effortlessly twisting through seven or eight turns along the way. Surfers don’t develop the arm strength to paddle until they’re about 10 years old, so the “micro groms” compete
with the help of their dads, many of whom are professional surfers and accomplished swimmers. During the 15-minute heats, dads (or other assistants) are responsible for repeatedly pushing their kids’ boards back out into the waves after each ride. Because Jeff is not an especially strong swimmer, he hasn’t been able to get Dane out to as many wave sets as some other dads. Fortunately, Dane can catch waves so quickly and surfs so well, it hasn’t mattered. Coach Allen said the professionally run WSA tournaments are good at teaching discipline and technique. “These judges don’t hold back a bit,” Allen said. “Dane has to earn every point he gets. There’s no sympathy points for being young and cute. But he’s got it going on.” Since joining the WSA in August and especially since rising to No. 1, Dane has been flooded with sponsorship offers from surfwear and equipment companies, including So Cal Boarders, SikkShades, Rat Surfboards, JoyJoy Watches
and Just Bones Boardwear. To help promote the free gear and Dane’s fledgling career, his sister Sage has become his social media manager, posting photos on Instagram (@ danethegrom) and blogging about his results on Facebook. The family will trek to Pismo Beach for the next tournament on Nov. 14. Monthly meets continue through next May. Other top competitors in the division are Chase Niemann of Carlsbad, in second place, and Shane Stacy of Dana Point, in third. Jeff said he’d love to see his son follow in his footsteps and compete for his college one day, but Kim said she’s just happy to see her son growing into a nice young man. “I love his heart. It’s so huge and he’s so sweet to everyone,” she said. “Yes, he is competitive and he likes to win, but he’s kind and he doesn’t have any of that cocky arrogance you see sometimes.”

Heels and Wheels event benefits No More Silence charity BY GLORIA LIMAS Rancho Santa Fe-based charity Heels & Wheels hosted its 3rd annual fundraiser at the elegant Lexus Escondido dealership located at The Centre. Over 100 patrons enjoyed a glamorous night with a decadent dinner, silent and live auction, as well as a fashion show. The proceeds benefit the charity No More Silence aiding victims of domestic violence. Event organizer and Del Mar Cigar Club CEO Loran Kelley III says it’s important to him to promote causes in Model Cate Garret need of a spotlight. “This topic has a personal connection to our family and it’s something that people don’t readily speak about. Statistics show that 1 of out of every 4 women are involved in domestic violence cases during their lives,” Kelley said. Kelley says the proceeds from the event will help in the development of an app that will assist victims of domestic violence via a buddy contact system.

COFFEE

nered with the Patio Restaurant Group to supply coffee to all of their eateries. Flower Hill approached Swell about taking over the Café Cantata space, which struggled after Pannikin’s closure in 2014. “This was not planned. This was an opportunity that presented itself, and I couldn’t say no,” Vallas said. “This is a very special place.” Because of Swell’s relationship with the restaurant group, he said, the shop is able to use a diverse variety of resources to make a location like Flower Hill’s successful. “There is an energy here. This is a community place, and the café is part of the fabric of this place,” Vallas said. He said the clientele is all locals, very different from the scene at Mission Beach. Mondo Rodriguez, Swell sales and logistics manager, said the staff sees those loyal local customers every day, coming in Monday through Friday like clockwork, staying six to eight hours. The customers have become very endearing to them, he said. Rodriguez was a welder before fortuitously meeting Vallas at the then-Café Mono while he was on a weeklong vacation from Portland. He and his wife had been ready to make a change and moved to San Diego a year later. Rodriguez got in touch with Vallas, wanting to do something “more down-to-earth, more personal.” “The passion that I saw in John for this company was enough for me to make that change and pursue this as a career,” Rodriguez said. People seem to be drawn to Vallas’ passion. General Manager Corrales started her career in the hotel industry and was part of the opening team for the Grand Del Mar
(now the Fairmont Grand Del Mar). She worked for Stone Brewing and was always more a part of the craft beer world before finding Swell. “It was the right fit and just clicked, and it felt like home. Everybody here is family; we all work so well together,” Corrales said. What makes Swell special is that the staff strives to find unique coffees from all over the world. While in places like Peru, Colombia and Costa Rica, Vallas and his employees are meeting and connecting with specialty coffee farmers, learning the attributes of their products and how they are grown. By using their beans, they are supporting the farm families and their communities. Upon entering Swell, guests first choose their coffee, which rotates frequently. Recent options were Finca El Soccorro from Guatemala and Beach Goth, Swell’s blend of Mexican and African coffee with notes of bitter chocolate and black grape. Beach Goth recently took silver at the North American Golden Bean Coffee Competition in Portland. Customers then choose how they would like the coffee prepared, brewed by V60 pour-over coffee maker, French press or Chemex, a manual glass coffee maker. Espresso beverages like lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos are available, and the menu will always include “A Barista’s Whim,” where creativity runs wild with whatever fresh ingredients are available. Recently they were serving up Swell’s take on an all-natural pumpkin spice latte with Chino Farm’s Napoletana squash, beans roasted with cinnamon and brown sugar, simple syrup infused with fresh ginger and cayenne, espresso and steamed milk. The food menu includes breakfast and lunch offerings
like French toast, parfaits, salads and panini, but a new menu will roll out on Nov. 6. At Swell, they use a lot of local ingredients — Mikolich Family Honey from Temecula, Madagascar vanilla for their syrup, and single-origin Nibble chocolate for their mochas. “Nothing comes out of a can,” Corrales said. “We make our own syrups, which we are really proud of.” Organic Straus Milk is used at both Swell locations. “We’re making sure we’re using coffee to its fullest extent and not taking the flavor out of the bean,” Corrales said. “We want to make sure we represent the farmer and their hard work and everything it took to create that special bean.” Vallas said they have merely “put lipstick” on the Flower Hill location, just to get it up and running as soon as possible. In January, they will close for a full renovation. Part of the changes will be a major kitchen renovation, which will allow them to diversify their food menu. They are also in the process of getting a liquor and beer license. Swell will also take over the space next door, which was once a gourmet chocolate shop and, for a short time this summer, a juice bar. Vallas said they are hoping to offer health-focused fare like smoothies, grab-and-go snacks and breakfasts. He plans to have it up and running before Thanksgiving. Longtime visitors to the coffee shop need not worry — any changes to the décor and layout will be mostly for efficiency and functionality. “We are not going to take the soul out of this place; that’s something we’re really interested in preserving,” Vallas said. “We’re really strongly passionate about the essence of this place.”

pendent booksellers. And two days after that came the Ludington Award, given by the Educational Book and Media Association for lifetime achievement. The Ludington includes money, too, a $2,500 check to a charity of the winner’s choice. “It’s all so nice, an embarrassment of riches,” Ryan said. “As you get older, you see more and more people coming into the field, and they’re all so talented and brilliant it makes you wonder about your own future. This just makes me want to keep doing more.” “Echo” took her six years to write, about twice as long as usual. It’s a big book, almost 600 pages. It starts with a fairy tale and an evil spell and then becomes a historical novel set in the 1930s and 1940s about three different children and one particular magical harmonica. Ryan got interested in harmonicas when she went to the Lemon Grove Historical Society to research a novella about the first successful legal challenge to school segregation. She and a docent were leafing through old class photographs when they came across a picture of kids sitting on school steps holding harmonicas. “What’s that?” she asked the docent. Turns out Lemon Grove had an elementary school harmonica band. Lots of schools did, as a harmonica band movement swept the U.S. Curious, Ryan set aside the school segregation project and immersed herself in harmonicas, even traveling to the Hohner factory in Germany. Research is important to her work — for one book, she tracked a wild herd of horses for nine days and slept in a teepee — and at the Hohner factory, she saw in a display case harmonicas that had traveled with soldiers to war. That gave her an idea about how to solve a problem she’d been having with the plot of “Echo.” She was pleased with the book when it was done, but knew from experience not to get her hopes up too high about how it would be received. About whether it would win prizes. “When you write a book, you have no idea the journey it’s going to take,” she said. “All you can do is give it a hug, send it out into the world, and just hope that it takes a wonderful path.”

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - NOVEMBER 12, 2015 - PAGE B21
La Jolla Country Day women’s varsity tennis team heads to state regionals A year ago, the women’s tennis team at La Jolla Country Day enjoyed one of the best seasons in school history — finishing No. 2 in San Diego County and in the top 8 in Southern California. And then they graduated eight seniors, six of them who led the varsity team. As the 2015 season began, some people believed that this would simply be a year of rebuilding the team, that they lacked experience and were not “seasoned” players. “I don’t believe in rebuilding years,” says seventh-year head coach and Country Day grad Joslynn Burkett. “Every year we build, and build upon the last. I couldn’t have asked for a better foundation to work from than the one created by last years team.” So, with powerhouse singles player Paulina Ferrari and senior softball player turned doubles specialist Sophie Ausmus, the building began. Four freshmen were added to the lineup along with seven junior varsity players from last year’s squad. The team goals were the same as last year: to win the Coastal League for the eighth consecutive season, be placed within the elite open division for CIF, and receive a bid into the State Regionals. La Jolla Country Day would get there slowly, one day at a time, peaking at just the right moment — at least that was Coach Burkett’s plan. “We had to be patient. Enjoy the process. Learn to maximize our strengths and minimize our weakness. And then push hard at just the right moment.” The first half of the season was learning to work together. Country Day’s record was 2-4 with one of losses to league rival, The
Bishop’s School, by a score of 5-13, immediately putting their Coastal League title in jeopardy. But a junior transfer student from this same adversary, Jennifer Richards, would become eligible for competition in due time. With Ferrari, they would pack a tough one-two punch at the top of the lineup. The Country Day Torreys entered the second half of the season with a ranking in the middle of Division I. The singles were set. It was time to start solidifying the doubles teams. With doubles teams and singles players beginning to take shape, it was time to teach them how to win. They took the rest of the season by storm, finishing on an eight match-winning streak. This included revenge on their adversary, Bishops’, and ultimately splitting the Coastal League Championship. With one goal down, the Torreys found themselves again in the Open Division for CIF thanks for their dominant season finish. But, only three of the 14 players heading into the Championships had ever played on the big stage before: Ferrari, Richards, and Ausmus. Entering the CIF playoffs, the team fought to a third-place finish. Taking down a tough Canyon Crest team in the first round, it was all about purpose from there on out. Loud, supportive, and with plenty of high fives, the team proved to be No. 3 in all of San Diego, taking down rival Bishop’s for a second time, 11-7. Next up, the team will enter CIF Regional as a top 16 team in all of Southern California.

A Tree House Finds its Roots My husband Charlie grew up in The Bronx in New York, no doubt surrounded by brick and concrete, and one day he told me that he had always dreamed of having a tree house. I am happy to say that we are finally giving him that dream. Thanks to the great work of the designers and landscapers at www.naturedesigns.net, my family and I have decided to transition our backyard to make it completely sustainable and ecofriendly: a real life tree house! We realized that living in Rancho Santa Fe is such a beautiful privilege that we wanted to give back to not only the community, but the environment as well.
Over the coming months, we will be improving our irrigation system to maximum efficiency while creating a colorful yet low-water landscape. We want to surround ourselves with beautiful, native, drought resistant plants, while maintaining an outdoor living space that welcomes guests and dogs alike. We will be improving the soil by adding compost and mulch to retain moisture. These are just a few of the additions and changes we will be making to our yard, and we welcome others in the community to follow in our footsteps. Below are some tips for making your yard sustainable and environmentally happy. Irrigation -- Monitor water usage weekly and check the irrigation system regularly for water runoff, leaks, and overspray. -- Program three start times per watering day. Run zone should only run as long as the water soaks into the soil. Once run-off occurs, stop watering. Wait 1-2 hours, then run that zone again. Then repeat. This
allows the water to saturate deeper into the soil and reduces run-off. Plants are able to grow roots into the deeper moisture which strengthens them. --Once established, native and drought tolerant plants will need very little irrigation. Make sure to adjust according to their needs. -- Adjust timing seasonally to account for heat and cooler temperatures, and dormant months. -- Use a Smart controller to make programming easier to adjust. -- Consider installing a greywater system. Pools -- Add a pool cover if possible to reduce evaporation. -- Install solar heating. -- Replace inefficient and loud single speed pool pumps with high-efficiency, quiet, variable speed pumps. -- Convert to a salt system, UV, ionic, or oxidation water quality system. Planting Beds
-- Space plants appropriately according to their mature size to reduce pruning labor and green waste. -- Let the leaves drop and stay in place or compost them and return them to the planting bed so they can return nutrients to the soil. -- Choose drought tolerant and disease resistant plants. -- Retain green waste and compost it on site; mulch planter beds with mulch and compost generated on site. Lawns -- Add compost and organic matter prior to planting. -- Limit square footage and plant drought tolerant turf grass. -- Occasionally add compost and other organic soil amendments to improve soil fertility.

in almost every program that Playwrights Project offers, and acting in several Plays by Young Writers festivals. Before retiring he was a principal in many San Diego schools, most recently Cabrillo Elementary. “I’m so thankful that I’ve had a role as an actor, teacher and board member—being part of the Playwrights Project is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I accept this award as an honor of the highest degree,” he said. Sheila and Jeffrey Lipinsky were honored as longtime supporters of the Playwrights Project. The Sheila and Jeffrey Lipinsky Family Fund has made a four-year commitment to the Playwrights Project Plays by Young Writers, an annual festival that premiers the winning scripts from a statewide contest for playwrights age 11-18 from California Schools. Sheila Lipinsky’s comments (responding to enthusiastic applause as she accepted the award) included “We feel very strongly that the praise goes to the people — the staff — the people that run this organization... This entire organization means the world to us. We are still very involved and Jeff and I are very committed.” Along with the Plays by Young Writers festival, Playwrights Project also conducts play writing programs for adults; About Face (for active military and veterans), Boarder Lines (for adults who live along the U.S./Mexico border), Lifestages/Recollections (for seniors 55 and up), Out of the Yard (incarcerated adults), and Telling Stories (current and former foster youth).
