Incumbents Todd Frank and Marti Ritto were re-elected Nov. 4 to serve another term on the Rancho Santa Fe School District board. Superintendent Lindy Delaney said although the results won’t be made official for about a week, she congratulated Ritto and Frank at the Nov. 6 school board meeting. “You’ve served our district very well and I appreciate the consistency,” Delaney said. Frank received 710 votes, 29 percent of the vote and Ritto received 661 votes, representing 27 percent of the ballots cast. Challengers Christopher Blatt and Violetta Sansone received 23 percent and 21 percent of the votes respectively. Delaney thanked Blatt and Sansone for their willingness to represent the district. “It’s not always easy to put yourself out there,” Delaney said. “It’s nice to have a lot of great people running for our board.”

Newcomer Maureen “Mo” Muir and incumbents John Salazar and Amy Herman won seats on the San Dieguito Union High School District board in the Nov. 4 election. Seven candidates were vying for three seats on the high school district board. Longtime board member Barbara Groth finished fourth. Muir is curSee ELECTION, page 30

RSF Women’s Fund goes 10 for 10 Philanthropic organization awards 10 grants on its 10th anniversary BY DIANE Y. WELCH Where last year the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund awarded six grants, this year that number was increased to 10. And for good reason. This November the Women’s Fund is celebrating its 10th anniversary, a major milestone in the all-woman philanthropic organization that has cumulatively awarded $2,405,585 to San Diego-based charities. The RSF Women’s Fund, a donor-advised fund of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, now has 120 members, which has grown sub-

stantially since 2004, when its 53 charter members granted $100,000 to four organizations. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, many past and current members with their partners and spouses joined in an anniversary celebration at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe (see photos on page 8). That evening, Gayle GilliesMize was honored as the organization’s founder and was presented with an award to thank her for her determination to start the fund and for her role in sustaining it. Each granting period from this

point forward will have one special award named for her. Gillies-Mize was very touched by the award, she said humbly in a later interview. “But it isn’t just me who should be recognized — it’s all the women who have worked so hard these past 10 years to make it so successful.” At the celebration, a video presentation was shown that captured past events and former recipients of the many grants awarded. To date, the Women’s Fund has donated to 74 local charities. Two young See FUND, page 30

Del Mar track’s new fall season off and running

Nov. 19 is deadline to vote on health club, swimming pool planning cost

BY ED ZIERALSKI, SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES Old Hollywood stars appeared on cue at Del Mar Nov. 7 in the form of celebrity dress- and look-alikes such as Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, Cary Grant and others, all parading around Plaza de Mexico before the races. “I ran into the best-looking Lucille Ball I’ve ever seen,” said Joe Harper, president and CEO of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Unlike the beach party that is Del Mar in the summer, the Bing Crosby Season started off slowly, kind of like one of Bing’s melodious songs. But by day’s end, the crowd built on what was a cozy, November beach day that drew 11,513 for fall racing. “No one is used to coming to Del Mar for a 12:30 post,” Harper said.

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association has so far collected about 900 ballots on the health club and pool vote, asking residents whether they approve a $350,000 professional planning phase for the proposed facility between the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis and Golf Clubs. Registered voters have until 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, to cast their ballots. The votes will be counted by hand on Nov. 20 by election inspector Bruce Bishop and volunteer assistants Kim Higgins, Rob Schaefer and David Moon, appointed by the Association board at its Nov. 6 meeting. Acting RSF Association Manager Ivan Holler said the number of registered voters is now 2,085. Holler said the Association continues its ongoing efforts to reach out to potential voters — of the nine real estate transactions completed in October, five property owners registered to vote. In May, the Covenant-wide vote on the RSF Garden Club purchase received 1,297 votes, and 1,544 ballots were cast in the Association board election in June, the most in the history of the Ranch.

RSF Association Board Biz: Sometimes being No. 1 isn’t so great BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD I’ll bet if I asked you and your friends, “What is the best place in the United States to live?” the No. 1 response would be “Rancho Santa Fe.” That’s an easy one. Unfortunately, many of us were chagrined to read in the Nov. 6, 2014, issue of the U-T, “Residents of the elite community of Rancho Santa Fe have the highest home water use in California, according to a newly released state report.” That is not exactly a No. 1 ranking to be proud of. Representatives from Santa Fe Irrigation District did explain to the U-T reporter that we have large properties, a golf course and low population density, all of which translate to high per-capita usage. Nevertheless, it is discouraging to read of such an ignominious distinction. Many of us are trying to cut back on water usage and to change our landscaping with more drought-tolerant

Ann Boon flora. We have only to look to our beautiful Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club for our most obvious role model. The Golf Club is renovating approximately 18 acres, removing turf and replanting with drought-tolerant trees and plants. Not only will the new landscaping project save water and add to the grace and beauty of the course, it will also be paid for by a grant from the Metropolitan Water District. Did you know that the state of California has millions of dollars available to consumers who remove turf and replace it with droughtfriendly landscape? To help with turf-removal projects, rebates are available for $2 or more per square foot of turf removed. If you are re-

ally interested in lowering your water bills, you can find all the details and requirements online at http://socalwatersmart.com/qualifyingproducts/turfremoval. If you are not ready to give up your turf entirely, because a lawn provides such a wonderful play surface for children and dogs, you might consider installing a more drought-resistant variety of grass. There is plenty of information online and local nurseries offer a wealth of information as well. You can call the Association office at 858756-1174 and ask for Arnold Keene, who can help direct you in determining how to participate in these important water-saving initiatives. If you are building or remodeling your home and landscaping, the Covenant Design Review Committee could be very helpful in directing you to drought-tolerant landscaping options. The members of the CDRC understand that a beautiful landscape is one that also is kind to our environment. Because of our unique circumstances, Rancho Santa Fe may always top the state

list for per capita water consumption. However, if we all work together to conserve, maybe next year we could

be named No. 1 for Greatest Percentage Drop in Water Usage. We know Rancho Santa

Fe will always be the No. 1 on the list of Best Places to Live. That’s an easy one.

RSF Golf Club turf replacement project a success BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is getting rave reviews on its turf replacement project. At the RSF Association board’s Nov. 6 meeting, Rancho Santa Fe Association President Ann Boon said it looks beautiful from above and from the trails, and she has heard from a frequent golfer that it looks even better on the course and has enhanced the play. “It’s coming together very well,” said RSF Golf Club Manager Al Castro, noting that work on the back nine is just about complete and the front nine work should be complete by Nov. 21. “We like the result; we’ve had a lot of positive feedback from members and guests.” The club’s project included removing approximately 18.5 acres of turf and replacing it with lower-water-use native plantings. Also, 84 trees will be removed and 105 replacement trees planted. The club is the first golf club in California that will receive a $1,620,000 rebate from the Metropolitan Water District for the water-saving project. “We’re pretty excited. We’re proud to have been one of the trailblazers in this process,” Castro said.

School parking lot may be possible location for Rancho Santa Fe Village Farmers Market BY KAREN BILLING The farmers market planned for the Rancho Santa Fe village at the proposed El Tordo location has become “quite stuck” in the county process, according to Rancho Santa Fe Association director and farmers market committee liaison Rochelle Putnam. Putnam said the committee has started preliminary talks with the Rancho Santa Fe School District about hosting the market in the district’s front parking lot, possibly on Sunday mornings. Putnam said RSF School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney will be bringing the item to the RSF School District board. The district’s preliminary concerns are regarding safety and that the market not conflict with weekend school activities. At their Nov. 6 meeting, the RSF Association board members said they prefer Saturday as the day to hold the market to avoid competing with the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market at Del Rayo Shopping Center in the Fairbanks Ranch area. The RSF Association board members also said Saturday is a better day to draw people to the village. However, the RSF Association board members did say that they prefer holding the farmers market on Sunday than not at all.

Despite report, Santa Fe Irrigation District Proposed senior complex near Polo Fields may have to go to vote says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting water reduction targets BY KAREN BILLING The proposed senior living facility planned for an open Via de la Valle parcel could be subject to approval by a citywide vote per Proposition A. At a Nov. 5 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board regional issues subcommittee meeting, the developers Milan Capital discussed the beginnings of their plans for the 23.88 acres adjacent to the San Diego Polo Club, known by most as a parking lot for Surf Soccer participants. Prop A, which passed in 1985, states that any development on agriculturally zoned land is to be very low density housing or equestrian use. Development any more intensive than that must go to a vote for approval. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are Prop A lands, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret about that, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to skirt the Prop A process,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Nichelson, president of Milan Capital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know yet what that process will mean for us.â&#x20AC;? Stakeholders from the San Dieguito River Valley Coalition, San Diego League of Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Voters, Friends of San Dieguito River Valley, Sierra Club, San Diegans for Managed Growth and San Dieguito River Park Citizens Advisory Committee have all

made it clear that they will work to ensure that maximum protections are given to the open space areas in the river valley and that proper procedures are followed by all agencies. At the Nov. 5 meeting, Nancy Hand from the League of Women Voters said they worked very hard to get Prop A passed, and while they appreciate the efforts being made by developers Milan Capital to fit into the community, if the project is denser than what is allowed in the zone, it needs to go to a vote of the people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be watching,â&#x20AC;? Hand said. A 1990 ordinance followed Prop A in 1985, prohibiting hospitals, intermediatecare facilities and nursing homes in agriculturally zoned lands. In 2012, the San Diego Planning Commission weighed in, finding in favor of the developers that a continuing care facility is consistent with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;intermediate care facility,â&#x20AC;? a use that was allowed in the zone before 1984 and should be allowed without a vote, only a land development code amendment. At the time, the Carmel Valley planning board strongly disagreed with that finding, as do many of the stakeholder groups now. The meeting grew heated several times See COMPLEX, page 26

Man convicted of RSF crime and others to be sentenced Nov. 19 A man who barged into a Rancho Santa Fe mansion with an accomplice Dec. 20, 2012 and looted the residence while holding a housekeeper at gunpoint was convicted of that crime and others by a jury Oct. 21 in San Diego Superior Court. David Grub will be sentenced on Nov. 19, according to RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser.

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The Santa Fe Irrigation District announced Nov. 5 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on target to meet statemandated per-capita water consumption reduction targets, despite a report showing that residents in Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and Solana Beach topped a statewide list for water usage in September. The figures released by the state Water Resources Control Board showed residential per-capita daily water consumption for districts around California, which is in the midst of an extreme drought. Officials from the governor to local water officials have been urging cus-

tomers to conserve water in case the state has another dry winter. The Santa Fe Irrigation Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roughly 19,400 customers used 584.4 gallons per capita per day in September, according to the report. Also according to the report, the Rainbow Municipal Water District near Fallbrook was the second-largest water user locally with 428.6 gallons daily per capita in September, followed by Oceanside at 303.48 gallons; the Valley Center Municipal Water District at 271.8 gallons; and Poway at 204 gallons. The San Dieguito Water

District, which serves Encinitas, was at 154 gallons; and the city of San Diego, which has also enacted mandatory water restrictions, was at 81.83 gallons. The figures did not take into account population density, population growth, temperature and evaporation rates, topography and socio-economic measures, according to the water board. SFID General Manager Michael Bardin said the irrigation district â&#x20AC;&#x153;has reduced its overall potable water demand by over 20 percent since 2007 to its current annual consumption of approximately 11,000 acreSee WATER, page 26

RSF middle schoolers overcome fears, learn about leadership at camp BY KAREN BILLING For the first time, Rancho Santa Fe School’s middle schoolers attended a weeklong camp at the Pali Institute, a new camp experience for the school. Over 200 sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students opted to go to camp on the last week of October at Pali in Running Springs, about 2 1/2 hours north in the San Bernardino Mountains. “It really united us as a middle school,” said eighthgrader Noah Alewal of the opportunity for sixth-, seventhand eighth-graders to go on one trip. “It brought us all together.” In the past, middle schoolers went to Camp Marston in Julian, but Principal Garrett Corduan suggested Pali as it was such a success at his previous school district in Murrieta. Rancho Santa Fe School District Trustee Marti Ritto reported at the Nov. 6 board meeting that her daughter had attended both Camp Marston and now Pali, and said that this year’s camp was fun and was “a lot more school,” which the board members liked hearing. The focus for sixth- and seventh-graders was on outdoor education and science. Eighth- grade campers also received outdoor education, but emphasis was placed on leadership. All students learned about topics such as ecology and geology, learned outdoor skills, went on hikes and tried their hand at archery. Seventh-grader Charlie Mossy said they got to check out different animals such as toads and turtles, and did a dissection of a squid. As part of the outdoor skills, sixth-grader Claire Jiang said students were tasked with building a shelter. She said their group found a cool spot to build their shelter, but opinions differed on how they should build it until one student stepped up to find a resolution. “He became a better leader because he stopped the fight,” Claire said. Claire’s shelter even included a place to sit and a footrest, and they had so much extra time, they even built a “guest house.”

The students also had to make artwork out of items found in their surroundings. “It was cool to see everyone else’s creations,” said eighth-grader Janna Shakiba, who made a piece she called “layers of life” with leaves and rocks. “It was really amazing what people were able to do with what they found in nature.” The eighth graders got to do a 700-foot quad zip line. They had to start off by climbing a 45-foot cargo net to the take-off platform. “At first I was really scared. You really had to overcome any fear you had and take a risk,” Janna said. The zipline was a camp highlight for Noah. “Not only was there a really awesome view, but I had to face my fear of heights,” Noah said. Noah said he was clutching the board of the tiny takeoff platform “for dear life” until he had to push himself off and take the leap. “I looked around in the air and I was amazed,” Noah said. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” Sixth-grader Luca Csathy said the sixth- and seventhgraders were similarly challenged by the ropes course — 45 feet in the air — mastering several different aerial challenges like jumping onto a trapeze. “It wasn’t all adults that supported you — kids had to volunteer to help you,” Luca said. “You had to build dependence on other people. You had to build trust.” “My friend said I gave her confidence,” Claire said. “She was scared, and when she saw me, I motivated her to go on.” Seventh-grader Lucas Luwa said his favorite activity was the ropes course. Even though he was afraid, “I still went on,” he said, adding that he got a lot of support from the Pali counselors. Noah said all of the counselors were fun and taught them a lot about life in general and being a leader. “One of my favorite activities was an astronomy night hike because I’ve never seen so many constellations. It was

Patriot Profiles: ‘The excitement never ends,’ says female Navy pilot This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers with insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Since the founding of these United States, women have poured out their skills and talents for the cause of liberty. Martha was a pillar of support for her husband, Gen. Washington, as he led America’s first Army. Thanks to Betsy Ross, our flag colors the skies with red (hardiness and valor), white (purity and innocence), and blue (vigilance, perseverance and justice). During World War II, women kept the home fires burning, worked in war industries, filled jobs left vacant by men at war, and served in uniform at home and abroad. Today, females fill ever-increasing roles in our military that stands on the summit of world power. Lt. Darby Clemson Driscoll, a U.S. Navy pilot, has joined the ranks of her predecessors to carry freedom forward. “Women over time have proven they’re far more capable than people necessarily give them credit for,” said Driscoll, who flies a multimission MH-60R (Romeo), the Navy’s new primary maritime dominance helicopter. As part of HSM 73, “The BattleCats” (a fleet squadron), she described her largest role as “providing security for the (carrier) strike group from surface and undersea threats — keeping the ships and sailors of the strike group safe.” Because of the combat exclusion that was lifted in 1993 by then-Secretary of Defense Les Aspin, women were permitted to serve in almost any aviation capacity. Years later, this allowed Driscoll to become an integral part of what she called “a very positive, upbeat, and introspective aviation community. We’re very self-critical. There are always new qualifications, new missions and new things to experience. The excitement never ends.” “When you go to a ‘winging’ down in Pensacola, where they pin on your wings of gold, probably 1 in 5 of the new pilots are women,” said Driscoll. “It’s a testament to the

Lt. Darby Clemson Driscoll with one of the ‘Battle Cats’ helicopters in her fleet squadron at North Island, San Diego. Landing on an aircraft carrier, she said, is a milestone: ‘That’s when you feel like you’re a Navy pilot.’ 1990s women who broke the glass ceiling that (gender) is a non-issue. We can go about doing our jobs and being professionals.” Even though she grew up in a storied military family, Driscoll wasn’t winging it to any recruiter’s office near her hometown, Pennington, N.J. Her grandfather was a warrant officer in the Army, her brother is an Army captain and her grandmother, Nelle Clemson, was one of the first female Marines in World War II, serving as a meteorologist. It wasn’t until after high school, when Driscoll was recruited by the Naval Academy for swimming, that she became interested in the military. Driscoll saw what she called “a personality fit” at the Academy when she met all the midshipmen there and the girls on the swim team. “Everybody was really ambitious and took care of each other. All saw themselves serving a larger purpose. That was really neat to encounter as an 18-year-old, so I wanted to be a part of it.” Academy life was studying hard and swimming fast to win various events, and later, when she joined the Club Triathlon Team, to win a National Championship in 2009. From the Naval Academy, she went on a Pownall scholarship to the University of Cambridge for a graduate degree in International Relations and International Development, and then reported to Pensacola, Fla., for flight training. The first helicopter Driscoll learned to fly, the Bell TH-57 Bravo, was the hardest. “It’s like learning how to ride a unicycle. Every input you make with your feet or hands

affect each other’s axis of motion. When I put my right foot in, what do I do with my hands, and when I put my left foot in, what do I do with my hands? When I pick my collective up (pitch control), what do I do with my cyclic (rotor tilt) and (anti-torque) pedals (yaw)? A pilot has about four flights to learn their first qualification — how to hover. “It (the TH-57) really teaches you the dynamics of how helicopters fly. Once you accomplish that, you fly in a helicopter that has stability control and is a little bit easier to handle. By the time you get to the MH-60 Romeo, there are a lot more systems to make it a smoother ride.” After completing her training in HSM41, Fleet Replacement Squadron, she was flown to the U.S.S. Carl Vinson for pre-deployment workups. “Landing on ships is really complicated and dangerous,” said Driscoll, summarizing, “I’m brand-new to the squadron and flying with the skipper. (It’s) very stressful, because you don’t want to do a bad job. You realize there are five people talking to you at once on the radio, and you’re trying to fly off the aircraft carrier, and there are aircraft everywhere. “Learning how to hover and trusting the aircraft is going to maintain its position, while the ship is moving underneath you, is the most unsettling thing for the first time. Then learning to do it at night, when it’s so dark — it’s putting your fears aside.” Landing on a carrier is a big milestone. “That’s when you feel like you’re a Navy pilot,” said Driscoll.

“Your mission is constantly changing,” she said. “The helicopter itself is like a pick-up truck. There are all these different weapons and flight systems you can put on the helicopter and change its mission, change its role. One day they’re completely loaded out to do anti-submarine warfare. The next day they’re stripped down to do anti-surface warfare and so they don’t even look like the same helicopter.” Always in the back of her mind is “the safety of the crew, being a safe pilot, and doing the best I can.” Driscoll enjoys the selfreflection her job and the aviation community allow her and being able to admit to herself, ‘I’m not very good at this and I need to work on it.’” “There’s a balance of needs,” said Driscoll, in regard to aviation threat assessment. With more advanced missile systems coming out, she voices her thoughts in line with others: “Do pilots have time to react to these threats or would unmanned aerial vehicles be a more appropriate platform to use?” The Navy’s Fire Scout program is exploring what helicopter drones can do vs. human-piloted aircraft and assessing the overall benefits of each. Driscoll described her first aviation experience in a neighbor’s Cessna as “being able to take off and be in a second world — away from problems on the ground and the rest of life going on. When you land, it’s funny to realize that life continues — the clock has continued to tick while you’ve been gone.” She’s also experienced the opposite as a pilot: “You get so task-focused and tasksaturated that it takes you away from daily life. But when you get into that moment of intense crew coordination — when things start to work seamlessly and you start to work as a team and back each other up — it’s a neat experience to be accomplishing all these things with only three people on the aircraft.” On a recent walk down the street to get coffee, Driscoll recounted, “I got stopped by two people saying, ‘Are you a female pilot? Do you fly helicopters?’” I said, ‘Yes.’ “They were so excited and said, ‘That’s awesome — you go, girl!’” Go where next with The BattleCats? “We’re heading west,” is all Lt. Driscoll revealed. “We’ll see what happens in the world.”

Competitors score points by punching to their opponent’s chest or kicking to their opponent’s chest or head. Four corner judges and one center referee determine whether the kick or punch delivered enough force to earn a point. Spinning kicks and kicks to the head earn additional points. Nicholas is 10 years old and has been training since he was 5. He has been actively competing for more than four years. He will compete in December at the upcoming Pan Am Open International Taekwondo Championships held in Portland, Ore. He is partly sponsored by the NRG Matrix Warrior Fund, a non-

Pacific Ridge School alumni honored for superior journalism Two Pacific Ridge School alumni have been recognized for superior journalism by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Delaney Miller and Hunter Headapohl, both Class of 2014, received individual 2014 Gold Circle Awards for their contributions to Global Vantage, a print and online magazine run by students from Pacific Ridge School, Canyon Crest Academy, and Kibera Girls Soccer Academy (Kibera, Kenya).

Headapohl, a freshman at George Washington University, took second place in the nonfiction article category for his piece â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yogasana: Prayer Through the Body,â&#x20AC;? which documents how a journey to the Ganges River changed the way he views commercialized yoga in the United States.

RSF Toastmasters host â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;To Tell the Truthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contest Nov. 18 Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters will hold â&#x20AC;&#x153;To Tell the Truth,â&#x20AC;? a special contest, on Tuesday, Nov. 18. In this spin on an old TV game-show favorite, two teams of three contestants each will describe the same unusual occupation or experience within a 2- to 3-minute time frame. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;truthfulâ&#x20AC;? character is accompanied by two impostors who pretend to be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? person. Together, three of them each quote the same description of an unusual occupation or experience. (Look forward to some outlandish experiences laced with lots of humor!) After the allotted time is up, the audience has five minutes to ask questions of the three contestants. The impostors are allowed to lie (and will exaggerate as much as they can!) but the central character is sworn â&#x20AC;&#x153;To Tell The Truth.â&#x20AC;? The audience will be relentless with final questions to try to trick the imposters into stumbling over their words. In the end, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;truthfulâ&#x20AC;? contestant will stand up! The contest runs from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the RSF Community Center; refreshments will be served. Contact Dale Sodergren at sodergrend14@gmail. com or Gwen Mecklenburg at Gmeck@aol.com.

Good Earth/Great Chefs event features â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heritageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; author Brock â&#x20AC;˘Series brings all-star cookbook authors to RSF BY KAREN BILLING The Good Earth/Great Chefs series is back at The Chino Farm on Sunday, Nov. 16, with a book signing with Chef Sean Brock. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. guests are welcome to stop by and purchase a signed copy of Brockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-awaited cookbook â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heritage.â&#x20AC;? The event is free and will feature live music from the bluegrass band Box Canyon and food prepared in tribute to Brockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Southern cuisine style using Chino-fresh ingredients. Dishes to be sampled on Sunday include creamed corn, pickled green tomato and a special surprise treat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heritageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will thrill, surprise and delight as readers discover what rich, glorious and delicious culinary history we once had â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thanks to chefs like Sean, will surely have again,â&#x20AC;? Chef Anthony Bourdain said in his review of the cookbook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You too can cook this stuff. And you should.â&#x20AC;? Brock is a favorite among chefs as he seeks to revive what was most beautiful about Southern food. A James Beard Award winner, he is the chef behind restaurants Husk in Charleston, South Carolina and Nashville and McCradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Charleston. He recently hosted the second season of the PBS series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mind of a Chef.â&#x20AC;? Along with a small group of local historians, plant geneticists and farmers, he is reintroducing dozens of heirloom greens and grains, many of them not tasted since the 1800s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going back to the Southern traditions and roots and making them alive,â&#x20AC;? said Nina MacConnel, one of the founders of Good Earth/Great Chefs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preserving and reinterpreting heritage foods of the South.â&#x20AC;? MacConnel said some the grains heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bringing back are Carolina Gold Rice, a sweet-flavored long-grain rice; and benne seeds, which were grown in all great Carolina kitchen gardens during the Colonial and Antebellum eras. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promoting the farmers of these greens and grains so it makes it sustainable for them to go back and grow the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be grown,â&#x20AC;? MacConnel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really different and interesting,â&#x20AC;? echoed Jennifer

Good Earth/Great Chefs is made up of co-founder Nina MacConnel, Jennifer de la Fuente and Adele Irwin, who have brought an all-star lineup of cookbook authors to Chino Farm. Chef Sean Brock, author of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heritage,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; will appear from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16. de la Fuente of Good Earth/Great Chefs. Over the past four years, Good Earth/Great Chefs has brought an all-star lineup of cookbook authors to the farm such as Alice Waters, David Tanis, Jonathan Waxman and Ruth Reichl. They average four events a year. Good Earth/Great Chefs was founded in 2011 by MacConnel, who is married to Tom Chino, and Milane Christianson, the former owner of the Book Works bookstore in Del Mar. The team also includes de la Fuente and Adele Irwin, who both used to work in the Book Works with Christianson. The group wanted to start the cookbook author series after the Book Works closed its doors and no one was bringing these authors to town anymore. Chinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seemed a natural fit to carry on the tradition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been wonderful to join it up with the farm,â&#x20AC;? MacConnel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the people who come here love food and the conversations are wonderful. The authors always say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their favorite book signing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done.â&#x20AC;? Sadly, Christianson was diagnosed with ALS in 2012 and passed away in April 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big part of this,â&#x20AC;? de la Fuente said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here in spirit.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our inspiration of how to be booksellers,â&#x20AC;? MacConnel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had an attitude about business, enjoying it and making it a party.â&#x20AC;? The Good Earth/Great Chefs events are always â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeform,â&#x20AC;? de la Fuente said, more like a party than a structured event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The events create a real sense of community and a happy feel, which is nice,â&#x20AC;? said MacConnel. People can sample foods, listen to live music, chat with the author about recipes and peruse whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh from Chinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. MacConnel said they have tons of sweet potato and squash right now and that after one of the worst tomato seasons on record, their tomatoes are the best theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been all summer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in November. Every book signing features a pop-up pantry, a small collection of curated items such as wild rice from a Native American reservation in Wisconsin, fine Spanish tuna and Tuscan olive oil, Rigel Stuhmiller dish towels and letterpress cards, Japanese aprons made exclusively for Chinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and Omnivore Salt, a special blend made by Angelo Garro based on his grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe from Sicily. Books can be pre-ordered on the Good Earth/Great Chefs website, goodearthgreatchefs.com. The Chino Farm is at 6123 Calzada del Bosque. The next event is scheduled for March 22, 2015 and will feature Chef April Bloomfield, known for her restaurant The Spotted Pig, with her latest cookbook, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Girl and Her Greens.â&#x20AC;?

Students’ spirits soar with new understanding at FalconFest BY KAREN BILLING The message around the Torrey Pines High School gym was clear: “Open wings, open mind, open heart.” The open and honest message was part of the inaugural FalconFest, a “transformational” four-day event that encouraged students to be respectful, aware and real, and to promote a kinder campus — a school environment based on understanding and acceptance. For several years, Torrey Pines had Challenge Days presented by facilitators from Challenge Day, a company based out of Concord. The program cost about $25,000 to bring to the school, and administrators had been looking for a way to produce the positive event on their own, tapping teacher and Peer Assistant Listeners program adviser Don Collins. The result was four packed sessions with lots of hugs, lots of tears and lots of important sharing and acceptance. “We wanted to tailor the event to not just address the overall issues teens face in high school, like feeling

FalconFest, Torrey Pines High’s in-house version of Challenge Days, was held last week. alone or peer pressure, but to also address some of the Torrey Pines-specific issues, like stress and being a new international student, with a message that is from the students of Torrey Pines themselves,” said Collins, who led the event with Terry Hendlin, the mother of two TPHS alumni. “A lot of parents said it was more powerful to do it inhouse. Kids got involved right away and were sharing more.” Senior Madison Lombard has attended Challenge Day and FalconFest all four years. “This day was amazing because of the trust in the room,” she said. “I really felt safe to be me. It wasn’t just the FalconFest, it was the FalconBest!” Collins said FalconFest would not have been possible without support and assistance from Bobbi Karlson and TPHS Foundation and adult volunteer coordinator Shelley Stevenson. For FalconFest, Collins kept many of the games and activities that Challenge Day had, but added other features, one of which was a video where TPHS students talked about issues they had dealt with such as molestation, the death of

a sibling and race problems. Senior Nathan Gibbs compiled the video and was surprised at how willingly his peers opened up. “It was an honor to put this together,” he said of the video that was watched by all 487 students over the four days. FalconFest came at just the right time for many, as students and staff were grieving the loss of “Coach C” Scott Chodorow, a teacher, adviser and cheer coach at the school. Collins said 50 additional students signed up for Falcon Fest on the Monday after his passing. A photo of Coach C was placed on a stand at the center of the gym. Students shared in “family groups” where they could connect with people they may pass daily in the halls without ever really knowing what’s going on inside their lives. Through the honest and open sharing, students are able to recognize that they’re not alone. One student said that he knows some people have been mean to him and others, but now he understands

that they only have a “tough outer shell” — that they are going through something difficult internally. “We do better when we know better, when we appreciate each other from the inside out,” Collins said. One student showed vulnerability by apologizing to a friend in front of the group for saying hurtful things. Another boy wanted to give a shout-out to his close friends who had always supported him. Each family group was paired with an adult, many of them staff members or TPHS parents. Geoff McCloud, a retired San Diego Unified District teacher, was a visiting leader. He said he would love to see this program at every school. “This was very moving for me. I’ve gotten to know some wonderful students,” McCloud said. “It is hard to be a human being sometimes,” he told the students. “It’s hard to be an advocate for the little guy, for the kid in the middle of the group being picked on. It takes courage to try and be powerful when

you’re not used to being powerful.” In one activity, Collins asked the students to write a letter of thanks and appreciation to a person who has always supported them, “How many different ways can you say ‘I love you’?” Collins prompted the students. “How many different ways are there to say ‘You matter to me,’ ‘I’m so grateful you’re in my life,’ ‘You were there when nobody else was.’” Collins asked them to think about how they would deliver that note to the person they wrote it to. Many students opted to share that information with the entire group. Students said that they had written to inspiring teachers like Ryland Wickman and Richard Robinette. One student picked Collins himself. “Thank you for always having my back,” she said. “You’ve guided me and shown me the light at the end of the tunnel.” Touchingly, a handful of thank-you notes were left on a stand holding a photo of Coach C.

Torrey Pines High School Foundation plans celebration of 40th anniversary The Torrey Pines High School Foundation 40-year Celebration Committee is in the early planning stages for the annual online silent auction and fundraiser to be held Saturday, March 28, 2015 at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. Committee members will be canvassing the community, reaching out to individuals and businesses to secure sponsors for the event as well as donated items to be auctioned to raise money for the TPHS Foundation’s “Support All Students” fund. This year’s focus is to equip 100 classrooms with LCD projectors. “We are determined to make this the biggest and most successful fundraiser to date,” states Bobbi Karlson, executive director of the foundation. “We are striving to break attendance records for this event by not only reaching out to our current families, but TPHS alums as well.” According to Helen Nordan, event chairwoman, “We are excited to announce the high-energy band The Detroit Underground will be back again this year, and we have hired professional auctioneer Steve Hamann for our live auction that evening. “ KUSI’s Sandra Maas will emcee the event, and Resurrection Radio, a local classic alternative cover band with two TPHS Class of 1986 alums, including TPHS assistant principal Rob Coppo, will also perform that

evening. “This is our largest fundraiser of the year and it is both a wonderful social evening for our guests as well as a valuable tool for raising critical funds for our school and our students” Nordan said. The kickoff event is “Toast to Forty,” which will be held at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe in January 2015. For information on the events or to donate, contact the TPHS Foundation at 858-793-3551 or email holly.coughlin@sduhsd.net. Alums and parents are encouraged to follow the TPHS Foundation on Facebook or Twitter for up to date information. Torrey Pines High School, the largest high school in the San Dieguito Union High School District, opened its doors in 1974. Since that time, TPHS has consistently earned local and national acclaim for both academics and athletics. “As a school community, we truly have so much to celebrate,” Karlson said. The TPHS Foundation is a 501(c)3 corporation founded in 1993 that not only raises funds for state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge programs to promote personal social growth, leadership and independence for all students, but also acts as the umbrella organization for parent volunteers and provides support for all booster groups on campus.

Village Church in RSF hosts Egyptian scholar, Christian leader for Nov. 21 lecture All are invited to an evening lecture featuring the Rev. Dr. Atef Gendy, president of the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo, Egypt, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21 at the Village Community Presbyterian Church in Rancho Santa Fe. Gendy is a world-renowned scholar and leader in Egypt and the Middle East. He has been president of the seminary for the past 14 years, where he also teaches the New Testament. “We in the United States hear and read so much about Egypt’s Second Revolution, ISIS, and the continuing conflict in the Middle East,” said the Rev. Dr. Jack Baca, senior pastor at the Village Church, who serves with Gendy on the Outreach Foundation Board. “We welcome Dr. Gendy to our community to hear his insights. What a prime opportunity ... to hear from him about the state of Christianity in that part of the world.” To attend this free event, please RSVP by Nov. 19 to maryc@villagechurch.org or 858756-2441, ext. 106. Hors d’oeuvres and a wine/dessert reception will be held at the Charles Direnfeld Parlor, followed by the lecture and Q&A in the Briggs Chapel at the Village Church campus, 6225 Paseo Delicias in Rancho Santa Fe. For more about Gendy, visit http://www.etsc.org/new/graduate-studies/our-professors-/48-atef-m-gendy.

RSF Library hosts cooking class Nov. 20 The Rancho Santa Fe branch of the San Diego County Library proudly presents its 3rd Thursday monthly cooking program, “The Kitchen Hack,” at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in the library’s Community Room. Once a month, staff or an invited guest foodie will lead a cooking demonstration of a simple themed recipe to be enjoyed by tasting afterwards by the audience. The idea for a community lunch gathering was set in motion with October’s premiere of a Pancit Noodle cooking demonstration offered in connection with this year’s One Book One San Diego selection, “Monstress” by Lysley Tenorio, whose short stories draw characters straddling both American and Philippino cultures. With Thanksgiving and Christmas fast approaching, November’s culinary inspiration comes from Kelly Hayes who runs the monthly Adult Crafts program. She will demonstrate how to make “mashed potatoes and gravy” for the vegetarians on your guest list. This is a great introduction for those of us who are considering taking up a plant-based diet. In December, our Library Guild Board member, Susan Appleby will host “Italian for the Holidays.” In January 2015, “Soup” is on the menu. Reserve to 858-756-2512. The library is at 17040 Avenida de Acacias.

Thanksgiving Family Mile Fun Run at DM Racetrack to benefit RSF’s Helen Woodward Animal Center On Thursday, Nov. 27, Helen Woodward Animal Center will have much to be thankful for: The Thanksgiving holiday marks the inaugural Family Mile Fun Run held at the Del Mar Racetrack, with a portion of funds going towards the Center’s Therapeutic Riding Program. In celebration, after the people-friendly one-mile run, adoptable pups will hold an adorable race of their own, with hopes of finding a forever family waiting at the finish line. The Family Mile Fun Run kicks off at 8 a.m. at the Del Mar Racetrack, with festivities going until 10 a.m. Then stay for horse racing with a special 11 a.m. post. In the tradition of East Coast “Turkey Trots,” famous for getting families out from under the feet of those preparing the afternoon meal, the new San Diego tradition will gather groups and individuals on Thanksgiving morning to stretch their legs and test their speed on a real horse track. Many favorite Del Mar jockeys will also be running, jogging and walk-

ing! Participants will receive racetrack admission, a fun run T-shirt, and the happiness of knowing that they are giving back with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Helen Woodward Animal Center’s equestrian therapy program for specialneeds children and adults. Other activities include kid-focused holiday craftmaking, face painting, Thanksgiving Day hat-making with the Rad Hatter, entertainers, opportunity drawings, surprises for the whole family and, of course, the “Puppy Races Rescue Run.”

“We are so excited to be a part of this brand-new event,” stated Renee Resko, Helen Woodward Animal Center Vice President of Development. “We love being part of such a wonderful family activity, and we are so thankful that it will support our Therapeutic Riding Program and bring awareness to our orphan pets.” Race entry for the Family Mile Fun Run is $25 for adult runners (16 and up) and $10 for junior runners (ages 4-15), with discounts for early registration. Children 3 and under are free. Parking is free for all. To register, visit www.delmarfunrun.com. The Family Mile Fun Run is still seeking volunteers to help with the day’s festivities. All volunteers will receive an event T-shirt and four free passes to attend a summer meet! Contact Helen Woodward Animal Center Manager of Volunteer Services Megan McCarty at 858-756-4117, ext. 305. Another way to add to the giving spirit is to bring a

can or sealed bag of dog or cat food to donate to the center’s AniMeals Program. This program, which provides food to the pets of homebound elderly clients, is particularly poignant at a time when families gather around the dinner table. Often the pets of these clients are their only family, and a nutritious meal for a beloved furry friend

means the world. To donate pet food, bring it to the Helen Woodward Animal Center booth on event day. For more on Helen Woodward Animal Center, visit www.animalcenter.org or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

Parent offers success story for helping children with autism BY JOE TASH To Jason Lu, autism isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a disease or condition, but a different way of thinking and communicating. Or to put it another way, people with autism represent â&#x20AC;&#x153;a different species of human being.â&#x20AC;? Lu, 51, a local resident, has a prime vantage point from which to make such observations: His two children, ages 5 and 6, have been diagnosed with â&#x20AC;&#x153;autism spectrum disorder,â&#x20AC;? which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention defines as a group of several related conditions that â&#x20AC;&#x153;can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges.â&#x20AC;? In addition, Lu, who holds a doctorate in theoretical physics from Stanford, believes he also is autistic, although he has never been officially diagnosed. Lu has self-published a book, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eikona Bridge,â&#x20AC;? which details his successful efforts at working with his children to help them develop verbal and social skills. The book is available on Amazon.com, and Lu will give a talk about the book and his experiences on Dec. 6 at the Carmel Valley Library.

Jason Lu According to Lu, people with autism are strongly focused on visual communication skills, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way they should be developed.â&#x20AC;? Pushing them to develop social and verbal skills before they are ready can actually hamper their progress, he said. Lu conceded he is not an expert on autism, but merely a parent who wants to share his personal story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Professionally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very busy with work,â&#x20AC;? said Lu, who holds a position as chief scientist with an information technology company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not my job. Just a success story that I think other parents can ben-

efit from.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Suzanne Goh, a Harvard-trained pediatric neurologist who treats children with autism in San Diego, said books such as Luâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can help families struggling to deal with the condition, as well as practitioners like herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experiences of individuals with autism and their families is incredibly important in helping us understand how to improve therapies,â&#x20AC;? Goh wrote in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of such reports, we know the great diversity of sensory experiences that are a part of autism. Any effective treatment approach needs to take this into account.â&#x20AC;? In the book, Lu details how he used drawings to communicate with his daughter and help her develop verbal and social skills. The girl is now in first grade and is â&#x20AC;&#x153;mainstreamed,â&#x20AC;? meaning she attends regular classes and fully participates in all classroom activities. When it came to his son â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who is on the more severe side of the autism spectrum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; drawings did not capture his attention, and Lu said he struggled to find a way to relate to the

boy. He hit upon using homemade videos, and that proved to be a breakthrough. For example, he wanted to teach his son to call him â&#x20AC;&#x153;papa,â&#x20AC;? but was unsuccessful until he made a video about a dinosaur family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all changed the day when I understood Ivan: Yes, Ivan was visual, but he was a video-memory person, not a picture-memory person!â&#x20AC;? Lu wrote in the book, in which he changed his childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names to protect their privacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He learned to look at my drawings, learned to read and learned to call me Papa!â&#x20AC;? Lu considers techniques such as the drawings and videos to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;bridges,â&#x20AC;? which arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed after the autistic person has crossed over them. He said he no longer needs to draw pictures for his daughter, or make videos for his son. Instead, he can talk to both children, or use drawings to aid communication with his son. The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eikonaâ&#x20AC;? in the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title comes from the Greek word for â&#x20AC;&#x153;image,â&#x20AC;? said Lu. According to the CDC website, diagnosing autism can be difficult, because there is no medical proce-

dure, such as a blood test, to confirm the condition. Instead, doctors rely on behavior and development to make a diagnosis. The CDC said 1 in 68 children has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, and the number of people being diagnosed is increasing, possibly because of a broader definition of the condition, and better efforts at diagnosis. However, an actual increase in the number of people developing the condition cannot be ruled out, according to the CDC. A number of different approaches are used to treat autism, according to experts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Treatment for autism should include a comprehensive medical approach that looks at many different aspects of human biology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; neurological, genetic, gastrointestinal, infectious, immune, endocrine, and others,â&#x20AC;? wrote Goh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many new therapies that are emerging, and one of the most promising areas is in mitochondrial medicine. (Mitochondria are the power plants of animal cells, which turn food into energy.) Medical therapies are aimed at improving the cellular and biochemical environment of the brain so

that the mechanisms for learning can function at their best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At present there is a very wide range of outcomes for those with autism. The childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique biology is one important factor, and others are the therapies that are used (both medical and behavioral/educational) and how well they are implemented. For the vast majority of children tremendous progress is possible,â&#x20AC;? she wrote. Some autistic people need a lot of help in their daily lives, and others need less, said the CDC. While a range of treatments is available, there is no cure. But Lu said that in talking to adults with autism, he has concluded that most donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of it as a problem that needs to be fixed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have different ways of looking at the world,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be cured; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of it as a disease.â&#x20AC;? The central message he sought to convey in his book, said Lu, is that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The children are OK. The children are really OK.â&#x20AC;?

COMPLEX continued from page 3

between the developers and the 14 community members present, especially on the topic of the amount of fill that will be required to lift the project out of the floodplain. When it rains, the entire site fills with water. Some areas are 14 feet below the 100-year floodplain, and residents wanted to know just how much fill was going to be brought in to elevate the project. Subcommittee co-chair Jan Fuchs said that the fill is a very big concern for the group. “I assume the desire is to keep the fill as low as possible,” said project architect Greg Irwin of Irwin Partners. “There’s more than one way to keep a project out of a floodplain … there’s options on the table.” Nichelson said the new project is not the same as the one proposed in the past several years. They are “starting from scratch” and working with the community to come up with a viable plan. Irwin said since Milan has taken control of the senior facility project this year, they plan to start with the concept of an idea, see where it sits with the community and move forward

with the best possible project. They wanted to know what the surrounding residents find to be more intensive use — a bigger footprint or bigger buildings? Architect Irwin said they were asked to create a project that better matched the surrounding community — low density and larger estate homes that will preserve sightlines and blend into the area. To reduce the impact on the community, they plan to create a tree-lined frontage and entryway with a two-story independent living facility, a one-story assisted living facility and a one-story memory care unit. Previous plans were denser, with 225 units spread out in casitas; the new plans call for 150 to 160 units. Bret Bernard, Milan’s director of planning and development, said they are hoping the density and square footage will mix into the community, as they have tucked it back into the small hillside. The proposed entry to the project is at the traffic signal at northbound El Camino Real. The western part of the property close to the El Camino Real/Via de la Valle intersection would be left as open space, not to be developed. Some neighbors ques-

tioned whether the open space would make more sense on the eastern side of the property, closest to the homes, leaving the western end with the much more intensive development. Irwin said they chose to put the development on the eastern end because it will look much less dense. Neighbor Cory Hao said the proposed project is not much different from the previous plan because it is still urban in character and scale and is still a use that is not permitted for this site. “The land needs to feel like open space and feel like a relief from urbanization,” said subcommittee co-chair Anne Harvey. “You should still get the feeling of relief when you pass that property.” Residents asked whether different uses, such as equestrian uses, had been considered for the site. Bernard said they did look at equestrian use on the site, but it would still require about four to five buildings and amounted to about the same amount of density as is being proposed. “We feel that the (senior facility) use is needed in the community and is a complement to what’s already there,” Bernard said. “We think this is a good use for the community.”

feet. “This has been accomplished through public education, conservation program incentives and rebates, and the conversion of large irrigation users to recycled water supplies,” he said. The SFID is “on target to meet state mandated per capita water usage reduction targets, as part of California’s overall water management plan,” Bardin said. “As a result of the ongoing drought and emergency water conservation measures mandated (by the state board), Santa Fe Irrigation District elevated its response under its Water Shortage Re-

State water board officials said the statewide con-

servation rate leveled off in September, after three months of improvements. The total urban water conservation rate across California dropped slightly to 10.3 percent in September. The per capita daily water use figures were reported by nearly 400 urban water agencies statewide as a requirement of the Emergency Water Conservation Regulation adopted by the state Water Board in July. The figures varied widely, with the San Francisco Bay region averaging 85.2 gallons per person per day and Colorado River region using around 251.9 gallons per person per day, according to the state water board.

Michelle Silverman, a La Jolla-based Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway, said Rancho Santa Fe was hit hard during the Great Recession and has not provided as big a return as other areas. She said that’s largely because inland areas depreci-

ate faster in bad times, and don’t recover as quickly as coastal places with little supply of land like La Jolla and Del Mar. A call to Mickelson’s spokesman was not immediately returned.

Rant with Randi: More evidence that men are from Mars BY RANDI CRAWFORD I don’t know about you, but I text my friends all the time. I remember receiving and sending my very first text a few years ago. I was hiking up Torrey Pines when my phone starting beeping. I think I had the Palm Treo; I wasn’t even using an iPhone yet. I had no idea what the beeping noise was indicating, but as soon as I figured it out, I was addicted. My brain went in a million different directions, and I just remember thinking that if we had known about “texting” when I was working and sitting through all day meetings, I would have been on my phone the entire time! And then, a few years after that, I discovered the “emoji.” It was another “Wow” moment for me. Now, not only do I not have to talk on the phone when I’m in a rush, but I don’t have to type a lot. The emoji takes the place of all my emotions. What could be better? My favorite one has the one eye closed and the tongue sticking out. I also love the face that’s sending a kiss; it just makes “the receiver” feel good. In the morning, I’ll ask my daughter to text for me. I’m great at dictating entire texts for her to send out, and she’s so fast that it’s a win/win situation. When I’m done, I’ll ask her to add an emoji and she rolls her eyes because she thinks that I overuse them. I asked my son and my husband whether they use emojis when they text, and their answer was the same — no. I’m pretty sure I’ve never sent a text when I haven’t used an emoji. It’s just so much easier to portray how you feel, and it takes the “guessing” out of what the receiver thinks you are trying to say. I’ve certainly misinterpreted many a text and I’ve sent many that could be misinterpreted, if I didn’t add a smiley face at the end. Sometimes my entire text is nothing but emojis. An emoji just gives you a good feeling and makes you smile. Here is an example of a text that can get you in trouble: Sender — “You look great today. Did you blow out your hair?” Receiver interpretation: “What is she saying, that I look crappy every other day? If she thinks my hair looks so bad all the time, why doesn’t she just come out and say it?” In comes the emoji to save the day! If you send that same text with an emoji at the end of it, maybe use a “purple party girl,” then it takes all the interpretation out of the

message and makes the receiver feel good and not pissed. I love it when my friends and I are trying to eat healthy and stick to a plan, and let’s just say we aren’t having the best day — we send all sorts of funny emojis including: a gun, a pig, a piece of cake, fries, wine, more wine, a few red x’s and then a crying face. If nothing else, we get each other. We laugh, we continue to indulge in our eating and drinking, but now we know that our friend on the other end of the phone “feels us.” It’s almost like the moms’ secret language. I’m fairly certain that if my husband read one of those texts, he’d be scratching his head wondering what the hell it said! I started asking a lot of friends about their texting habits. It turns out that women use emojis all the time when texting, and men don’t. One friend told me that she was typing a text for her husband, to a large client, and she added an emoji. When he saw the text that she sent on his behalf, he flipped out. He told her that men do not send emojis to men, especially clients. Today I wished there was a barf emoji — I could use that one a lot! I’m still unclear about the poop with the eyeballs emoji and what it means, but I do have a friend who sends it to me all the time — hmmm? Do you send emojis when you text?

BY MARSHA SUTTON Barbara Groth’s surprising loss for re-election to her Marsha Sutton fifth term on the San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Education, and incumbent Amy Herman’s lackluster third-place finish, may signify that a union endorsement might not be such a great thing. Incumbent (and perpetual Groth irritant) John Salazar finished strongly in second, while challenger Mo Muir bested them all. Neither Salazar nor Muir even sought the teachers union endorsement. Muir, a current Encinitas Union School District board member, ran a strong campaign based on her message that the current San Dieguito board consistently fails to listen to parents. In the Oct. 16 issue of this newspaper, all seven SDUHSD candidates were asked the same questions. Their answers were revealing. When asked to identify the biggest issues facing the district, Muir let loose with both barrels: “Fiscal accountability, a lack of transparency, a lack of responsiveness to the parents and students, misplaced curriculum priorities, and a lack of focus on successful student performance.” Muir, a Republican, will be missed by many parents in Encinitas who regarded her as a voice for their concerns and one who kept a sharp eye on the bottom line. Her vocal objections to the Encinitas district’s costly, and now infamous, Palm Springs retreat made her a favorite among fiscal conservatives, like Salazar. When Republicans are elected to school boards, social liberals sit up and take notice, with valid concerns about stealth candidates promoting personal rightwing social agendas. However, in her six years on the Encinitas school board, Muir has not demonstrated any interest in pursuing such issues – unless you count the motivation to keep costs in check. Salazar, also a Republican, shares Muir’s fiscal concerns and during his first term showed a complete disregard for controversial conservative agendas – unless you count the motivation to keep costs in check. Just elected to his second term, Salazar is clearly persona non grata for Groth who at board meetings

could barely hide her contempt for him. His crime? Not always voting with the board majority. All votes in the last four years have been either 5-0 or 4-1, with Salazar the lone nay vote. Groth was so anxious to rid the board of Salazar that she wrote in the Oct. 16 issue, “Our district deserves a board where all five members put students first when making decisions.” Her comment was clearly meant to convey her desire for a 5-0 rubber-stamp board. Apparently, a 4-1 board wasn’t good enough. And if you had the nerve to vote against the board majority on occasion, you weren’t putting students first. Hardly embarrassed by this, Salazar wrote in the Oct. 16 candidate questionnaire, “It is important that while we continue to improve the district’s performance, it is also important that there be someone on the board who will also be watchful that the district spends its resources wisely. I am that person.” Salazar also wrote, “I don’t believe you elected me to be a rubber stamp. I believe the district is better as a result of a free and open discussion of all issues.” Contributing to the negative response to the candidacies of Groth and Herman may have been the board’s approval just before the election of a much-criticized contract for a task force facilitator at the outrageous price of $350 per hour, with no not-to-exceed ceiling nor a contract expiration date. The contract, for Leonard Steinberg of the Creative Alliance Group of Encinitas, was recommended by staff and was approved 4 to 1, with only Salazar opposed. The union label The third candidate endorsed by San Dieguito’s teachers union, Simeon Greenstein, came in fifth. Greenstein is a former teacher in the district. The union wasn’t alone in endorsing the slate of three. Also on the bandwagon were Joyce Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer, SDUHSD trustees re-elected to their seats in 2012. Clearly, union backing did not help, and quite possibly hurt. One union leader once told me he wanted to keep a low profile of union endorsements. As he said, “People love their teachers but aren’t so crazy about their union.” An astute observation. As an aside, Bob Croft, head of the San Dieguito

Faculty Association (SDUHSD’s teachers union), told me in an interview before the election that only four of the seven candidates sought the union endorsement. So the recommendation from the union was for three out of four, not three out of seven. The fourth candidate seeking union support was Rimga Viskanta, who offered a refreshing observation that she “would like to see at least one member of the board be someone with children still in the district,” as she wrote in the Oct. 16 issue. Viskanta also espoused the view that term limits may be needed on school boards. With Groth running for her fifth term and Dalessandro in the middle of her fifth term, the point is welltaken. Career politicians on school boards cease to provide historical relevance after eight or at most 12 years. Viskanta was brave (or naïve?) to seek the union endorsement when it was a foregone conclusion that the union would support Greenstein, Groth and Herman. Croft did say that Viskanta was an outstanding individual – engaging and insightful. He said the 13 members of his executive board, who interviewed the four candidates at length, felt comfortable with her and could work with her had she been elected. But they unanimously preferred the two incumbents and former teacher. Croft, now in his 35th year in the district, is not one to vilify. As head of the SDFA for so long he can’t remember, Croft has established one of the least adversarial relationships with management of any union in the county. For that he is to be commended. Croft and his organization, which represents about 600 teachers, work amiably with district staff on issues of relevance to both parties. There have been sticking points, of course. But overall, the relationship has been a model of civility, thanks in large part to the years of cooperation between Croft and former associate superintendent of human resources Terry King. This laid the foundation for reciprocal respect for mutual interests. Jobs for life Teachers unions do a good job advocating for their members – i.e., teachers. And when unions endorse, they are supporting, in essence, their bosses, the people who control their salaries and benefits.

Sometimes teacher, student, parent and taxpayer interests intersect, but often they do not. What’s good for teachers is not always good for students and the public – or for education policy, which is in desperate need of serious reform. With the growing realization that teachers unions represent the status quo and actively oppose many changes that would benefit students, many voters are seeing candidates endorsed by unions as ones to avoid. It’s undeniable that there is growing enthusiasm for fundamental systemic change in education policy that so often benefits teachers at the expense of poor and disenfranchised students. The best example is the recent Vergara vs. the state of California case. Or look to Michelle Rhee, former chancellor of the Washington, D.C., public school system, which has the dubious distinction as being one of the worst-performing of any in the country. Rhee, in her well-documented frustration with her union’s intransigence, at one point offered her teachers double their salaries (well into six figures) in exchange for union protection that guaranteed a job for life. The deal meant that teachers would have to perform their jobs well to keep their jobs, just like all other non-union workers, but would be paid handsomely for their efforts if they demonstrated skill and commitment. They turned her down. No one deserves a job for life that is not dependent upon performance. Good teachers who have to carry the load of poorly-performing teachers often agree. So do many young, eager teachers who are the first to be fired or laid off in hard times, due to rules that protect seniority regardless of ability. Anyone who believes unions have too much power is commonly labeled no friend of local schools. Anyone who questions how public money is being spent is said to be not putting students first. But supporting education does not mean supporting everything a school board or its superintendent does. And opposing particularly egregious union policies does not mean one is “anti-teacher.” Union supporters and school board members under the union spell get mileage by perpetuating these false links.

In fact, a case can be made that those who support the status quo are the real ones who erect roadblocks to improvements in the quality of education. More and more people are discovering that the strongest advocates for much-needed education reform are those who respect the hard work of excellent teachers, are suspicious of non-negotiable union rules, are mindful of the way taxpayer money is spent, and support school board members who refuse to play politics with student learning. It will be Democrats’ undoing if they continue to blindly support teachers unions. And it will be Republicans’ undoing if they don’t stop supporting radical conservatives with 18thcentury notions about science, health, free speech and civil rights. Finding school board candidates who pay attention to the bottom line and oppose traditional union sacred cows like seniority rights and tenure, but who don’t carry a conservative social agenda into the classroom, is the challenge. If you find one, glom on. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@ gmail.com.

CAMP

so pretty,” Jana said. Luca agreed, saying what was most memorable for him were the sunrises and sunsets. “The sky was rainbow color and there were silhouettes of black,” Luca said. The campers stayed in cabins and slept on bunk beds. Janna said while it got really cold at night, their cabins were heated, so they were comfortable when they went in at night, sometimes playing games before going to bed. The campers had to share two bathrooms and were challenged to take three-minute showers, further lessons in time management and strategy and as Noah noted, water conservation in this time of drought. All of the students raved about the food, which included sloppy Joes, tacos, ice cream sandwiches and even a night with orange chicken and miso soup. Several students gave the camp the ultimate stamp of approval: They would not only suggest camp to friends next year, but they would also go a second time. “I want to go back for the summer,” Noah said.

Marlene King was elected to the Division 3 seat on the Santa Fe Irrigation District board.

award beneficiaries, one from Reality Changers and the other from A Reason To Survive, spoke at the event about how the gift had affected their lives. Each year, the RSF Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fund champions two main areas of need in the community and awards several financial grants within these two groups. For 2015, â&#x20AC;&#x153;womenâ&#x20AC;? and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;militaryâ&#x20AC;? were the two focus categories chosen by membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; votes, said program chairwoman Susan Goldfarb Pidgeon. As letters of inquiry are received in the spring from a large pool of charities, a short list is drawn up for potential awardees that fit the focus categories. Usually about 20 nonprofits are invited to submit a formal grant request, said Goldfarb Pidgeon. When formal proposals are received, the organizations are vetted and members make site visits to see the organizations for themselves. Members then vote online to select which organizations will receive the grant funds. The 2014 recipients in-

cluded the Boys and Girls Club of San Diego for its Club K Program ($25,000); Cecilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Closet, for its Medical Equipment, Belly Bands and Room Makeover Program ($30,000); the New Haven Youth and Family Service, for its Sustainable Community Youthworks Program ($30,000); and several more for a total of pooled funds that reached $258,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible what Gayle has achieved since she came up with this idea,â&#x20AC;? said Goldfarb Pidgeon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She started a great program for giving, and each year it continues to get stronger.â&#x20AC;?

The final betting handle from all sources was $8,560,127, up 46.8 percent over Hollywood Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last year for opening day. It also dwarfed the $389,571 handle Del Mar produced for that 1967 fall opener. Ninety-five percent of the trackside tables had patrons sitting at them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enthusiastic crowd, a happy crowd,â&#x20AC;? Harper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just the flavor of the day was a winner in my book. The turf club was crowded, not quite like summer, but jam-packed, 10-deep at the bar.â&#x20AC;? Trainer Mike Puype won the first race with heavily favored Wild Caroline ($4). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love Del Mar, and we all hope it goes well this year,â&#x20AC;? Puype said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really need this to happen here. We need the horsemen to support the meet.â&#x20AC;? Trainer Barry Abrams, as is his wont, lit up the toteboard at $46 with Unusual Taste, another runner by his Unusual Heat. It was the first race of the fall on the new and improved turf course, and it and the remaining two turf races went off without incident. All races did.

Jockey Tyler Baze won two races, the first on Wild Caroline for Mike Puype, and the sixth on Up the Alley ($6) for trainer Ron Ellis. Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith also won two, back-to-back, with Ashleyluvssugar for Peter Eurton in the seventh, and with Irishbred Queen of the Sand in the $75,000 Kathryn Crosby Stakes for trainer Patrick Gallagher and owner Derrick Fisher in the eighth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good strange,â&#x20AC;? Smith said when asked if it felt strange to be at Del Mar in November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laid-back and kind of happy. Sun is nice and warm. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be big.â&#x20AC;? Smith praised the turf course in the summer and was equally high on it in the fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The grass is brilliant,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was unfortunate to have horses hurt on it earlier in the year. I thought it was in really, really good shape in the summer. And now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even better. To me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the best grass courses Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been on. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even hear anything out there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like racing with earplugs.â&#x20AC;? For more information on the Bing Crosby Season, visit www.dmtc.com.

UCSD director puts contemporary mark on Greek tragedy ‘Antigone’ BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus, King of Thebes (yes, THAT Oedipus), and the niece of Creon, the new ruler. Her two brothers are dead, having killed each other battling for control of the kingdom. One was buried as a hero; the other’s body is lying in the street, reviled as an enemy of the state. Creon has forbidden his burial, and declared anyone who tries to bury him guilty of treason, which is punishable by death. Antigone defies Creon’s law, buries her brother, and dies for it, but Creon does not live happily ever after. It’s a classic Greek tragedy, written by Sophocles, more than 2,500 years ago. In 2004, Nobel prizewinner Seamus Heaney, hailed for “his works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt Antigone and Creon are the living past,” revisioned the play, giving it an Irish accent played by Zakiya Markand a contemporary American setting. “Burial at Thebes” land and Toby Onwumere. premiered at the Abbey Theater in Dublin, and was subse- PHOTO BY MAURICE HEWITT quently turned into an opera. Fast-forward to 2014 and UC San Diego’s Theater Department, where Sarah Wansley, a candidate for an MFA in directing, is presenting her version of Heaney’s play, set in a mythic land somewhere between ancient Thebes and Washington, D.C. For the past year, she has been working on the project, which involves a cast of 22, elaborate sets and costumes, digital projections and live music. It’s set to run Nov. 13-22. The theme is an ancient one — the conflict between divine law and the laws of man — but the spin is modern: In a post 9/11 world of drones, chemical warfare and ubiquitous media, what impossible moral decisions do we ask our leaders to make? And how would we choose between what is right and what is legal, between our country and our family, between taking a stand or settling for compromise? “I was drawn to the play at a time when Obama was dealing with rumors of chemical weapons in Syria,” Wansley said. “I was interested in exploring the problem of moral choices. Heaney set the play in his time, the Bush era; we’re moving it up a decade, but we’ve made very few changes in the text.” In Wansley’s Obama-era “Burial,” the Chorus has become the Press Corps, and she’s added a street singer, who acts as a witness to events and strums his songs on a lyre, a suitably ancient-Greek instrument. There’s even an actual river onstage. “This is the biggest production I’ve ever done, and it’s very exciting,” Wansley said. “It certainly speaks to some of the issues we’re facing right now.” “Burial at Thebes” runs through Nov. 22 at Mandell Weiss Forum Theatre, UCSD Campus. Tickets are $12-15 at the door; call 858-534-4574, visit brownpapertickets.com/ event/714185.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Voilà Hair Atelier marks first-year anniversary at Fairbanks Village Plaza BY DIANE Y. WELCH One evening last month, a festive atmosphere of flamenco and salsa dancers accompanied by Spanish music drew a large gathering of clients and friends who attended the party marking the first-year anniversary for Voilà Hair Atelier salon at Fairbanks Village Plaza in Rancho Santa Fe. The event was in keeping with the heritage of salon owner and designer Luis Angel, who was born and raised in Cuba. Angel opened his business last September, and since then the salon has grown and gone through upgraded physical changes, he said. But the high quality of service for his clients remains the same. Changes to the salon’s interior have created a boutique setting in the store’s front. Fashion shoes and gold and gemstone jewelry, fine quality leather wallets and handbags and other retail gift items and gift certificates are displayed and available for purchase. The full-service salon still maintains its high-caliber team of hair and make-up stylists with a combined training background with Paul Mitchell, Vidal Sassoon, and Toni&Guy. “We offer color treatments, precision cuts, styling, highlights and hair extensions with everything custom-based for each cli-

ent,” said Angel. The salon’s range of high-end hair products, which include Oribe, Number Four and L’Oreal Professional, are still available, along with a new line of La Bella Donna mineralbased make-up merchandise. Recently welcomed to Angel’s team of hair and beauty professionals is a masseuse, Nadine, who works in the salon on Monday and Tuesday. Pedicure benches have been added to the back of the salon for a more comfortable, relaxed pedicure treatment, and full-service manicures and skin treatments are still offered. “Now clients can come here have a facial, a massage, a shampoo, blow-dry and make-up and then they are ready to go to their party,” said Angel. Angel cultivated a unique approach to hair, make-up and beauty by training through the top stylists in England, Tony&Guy. He brings his signature skills to his own salon, in Building #1, Suite 13 in Fairbanks Village Plaza (16236 San Dieguito Road, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067). The salon’s interior decor creates relaxation with its palette of soft natural earth tones. “It’s in good taste, creating an elegant and sophisticated vibe,” Angel said. And the background music, with the retro sounds of Frank Sinatra and soothing jazz or classical

favorites, enhances the unhurried atmosphere. The salon location in the heart of Fairbanks Ranch contrasts to Angel’s roots, being born and raised in Havana, where his desire to style hair came at a young age. As a 14-year-old, he would follow his mother to the hair salon to see how the process was done and knew that this was his professional calling. Reaching adulthood, Angel moved to London to train at the Toni&Guy city center salon on Bond Street. There he learned the skill of precision cutting and color treatments for which he is famed today.

Promoting STEM: Science/Math Fair at The Nativity School ‘The best part is that you get to do some really cool science! This is what students had to say about the Science/Math Fair at The Nativity School’s recent event. Aimed to promote science, engineering, math and technology (STEM), this is an annual Halloween event integrated into the school day. Nativity’s partnership with the Reuben H. Fleet Museum makes it a true learning experience for all ages. More than a dozen different stations offered hands-on activities exploring the theme of “Spectacular Space.” From creating chemical reactions using ordinary ingredients to show the effect of volcanic eruptions on the formation of planets to measuring their weight on each of the planets and moon, an experienced science educator from the museum was on hand to support the volunteers. Robolinks, an engineering company, brought robots, which were a big hit, as students controlled the robots remotely. Visit www.thenativityschool.org.

CCA Foundation mural to be dedicated Nov. 17 TPHS Falcons cap perfect season with win over LCC Anyone who has visited Canyon Crest Academy in recent weeks has undoubtedly admired the newly installed mural of soaring mosaic ravens rising out of a sun above the Proscenium theatre. CCA’s latest contribution to the effort to beautify its campus with art created by students is the school’s largest installation yet. On Monday, Nov. 17, the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation will celebrate its most generous donors when the mural is formally dedicated. The ceremony will honor 47 donors who gave at least $1,500 to the Ravens Challenge. A total of $201,000 was raised for the CCA Raven’s Fund this past year. Among those expected to attend the dedication are County Supervisor Dave Roberts, SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt, and SDUHSD board members. The concept for the mural was conceived and designed by Envision Visual Arts Conservatory students in spring 2014. Jessica Matthes, CCA sculpture teacher and EVA Conservatory coordinator, explained that the students discussed several different ideas, and voted on the one they liked best. Senior Maya Lin-Bronner’s idea became the work of art. An EVA conservatory student, she got the idea when the students were prompted to design something that represented the school. “Being in conservatory, and staying late at school every day, I see the sunset from school.”

The mural at Canyon Crest Academy was designed by Envision Visual Arts Conservatory students from an idea by senior Maya Lin-Bronner. She said that the sun could be interpreted as either rising or setting, and that the ravens, which were made individually by EVA conservatory students, represent the different styles and personalities not just of the artists, but of all of the students at CCA. “The fact that the ravens in the mural all come from the same colors as the sun represents, to me, the rising potential of all of the students.” All of the EVA conservatory students contributed to the mural with the help of visiting Solana Beach artist Amber Irwin. Irwin, whose presence at CCA was funded by the Foundation, helped oversee the creation of the final piece over a two-month period. Because each student worked individually on small sections of the installation, the impact of seeing it all together was enormous. “It’s so much bigger than it seems like it will be when everyone is working on all of the small pieces,” said sculpture teacher Matthes. For Maya, the mural looks a lot like she imagined. “Even though the idea was mine, the project was very much a collaborative effort. It’s a nice representation of all of the students who worked on it.” Matthes says coming to school is now a new experience. “I find myself looking up every time I walk in.” The Canyon Crest Foundation is a parent-led 501(c)3 organization providing opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive.

BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines freshmen finished a perfect 10-0 season with a 24-7 win over rival La Costa Canyon. Sully O’Brien set the tone for the night, returning the opening kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown. The LCC Mavericks fumbled on their first play and the Falcons threatened againbefore returning the fumble on the LCC 15. Torrey Pines’ defense held with a third-down stop by Matthew Goena. The Falcons mixed it up on the next series from their 41 with O’Brien running inside, O’Brien running outside, and O’Brien on the swing pass, so the Mavericks were caught by surprise when O’Brien blew past the defenders on a fly route to catch the touchdown pass. Torrey Pines 14-0. Jack Nelson made an interception to set up Torrey Pines on the LCC 32, but the Mavericks held on fourth and 1. Accurate passing, designed runs and scrambling by LCC quarterback Jake Neufeld drove them to the Falcon 28, where on fourth down, Zach Friedland broke into the backfield right when the

Torrey Pines Falcons complete a perfect season. handoff was made for a loss. With 2:09 left in the half, an LCC drive was halted on a sack by Cleo Baker and a pass batted down by Parker Williams. LCC drove the second half kickoff 51 yards, only to come up short on fourth and inches. Torrey Pines couldn’t move the ball and their punt was blocked, giving the Mavericks another chance from the Falcon 26. LCC scored on a quarterback keep to come within seven. Their onside kick was recovered by Peter Nelson, and the Falcons started from the 48. Friedland ran for 4 on a crucial fourth and 2, and O’Brien caught two passes to move to the 10 where the

drive stalled and Conner Nichols’ field goal made the score 17-7 early in the 4th quarter. The Mavericks moved the ball again and had first and goal at the Falcon 1. But a pass was batted down by Spencer Grant, a pass fell incomplete on pressure from Louis Bickett, and Max Myrhum recovered a fumble on the 7. Then on third and 3, O’Brien took a pitch, juked a tackler, and sprinted 86 yards for a touchdown. On LCC’s final series, Goena knocked down two passes, and Michael Perrone and Matt Moazzam combined to sack the quarterback to put them third and 26. On fourth down, Spencer Grant got a sack to put the game away.

Lighting the Way to the Most Dramatic Home Theater in San Diego Lights! Camera! Action! It’s no wonder that a great production needs the right light to set the tone. Your home theater is no exception. Outstanding indoor lighting is one of the best ways to distinguish your home theater, and thanks in part to a recent article at CE Pro, here are the best ways to create ambiance and accentuate your space

with sensational lighting. 1. Temperature Did you know that lighting temperature can significantly alter the quality of your home theater? Lights should ideally be set at 6,500 Kelvin. When light temperature is too strong, it can lead to off-set colors. For example, certain temperatures can change the fidelity of the screen, setting hues off-balance. Dimmable LED lighting is the ideal choice for lighting your home theater. Click here to see some examples of how we’ve used light to create the perfect ambiance using just the right temperatures. 2. Lighting AutomationDramatic home theater, San Diego, La Jolla It goes without saying that watching Jurassic Park is completely different than tuning into the 6 o’ clock news. Your lighting should reflect the mood appropriately and automation can set that dream into motion. For example, when

you watch the news, your lighting can be programmed to illuminate into a bright setting. On the other hand, when you’re ready to watch a movie, the lights can dim to perfect theater level. Automation makes lighting incredibly easy. 3. Zoned Lighting In many cases, it makes sense to zone lighting controls. Depending on how your room is set up, you’ll want to take into consideration which part of the room deserves the greatest amount of light versus the area of the room that ought to be dim. Create light installations on unique circuits to customize the look even further. We’ll help you map out a lighting plan that best suits your home theater. 4. Accentuate with Light We work with many San Diegans who want a custom home theater. Regardless of the style you choose, you’ll want to use light to

accentuate the space. We can use lighting to draw attention to any facet of the room – a tiered ceiling, awesome speakers, movie posters or architectural details. Wall sconces, overhead LED lighting and backlighting are all great ways to draw attention to various aspects of the room without detracting from the main show. 5. Themed Theaters You can do so much with proper lighting. From setting the tone to creating a theme, lighting can make or break the space. In one of our recent projects, we used light to theme a Star Wars home theater. Imagine this space without any light at all! It would have instantly fallen ﬂat. This project utilized automation, distributed audio and perfect lighting to create the perfect home theater theme. Get the right lighting in your home theater today.

Baird, emeritus professor of Clinical Pathology at UCSD School of Medicine and retired chief of pathology at the La Jolla Veteran’s Administration Medical Center, discussed the “great killers of the past,” i.e., plague, syphilis, influenza, tuberculosis, smallpox and cholera. Pre-antibiotic disease was transmitted globally by commerce as evidenced by the deaths of at least a quarter of Europeans and an unknown number of Asians in the Black Death of Europe in 1346-1361. Syphilis was probably brought to Europe from the New World by the explorations of Christopher Columbus. “Vaccines and antibiotics have changed the face of modern-day death,” said Baird. “Nowadays we die from aging, bad habits, accidents and genetic defects,

The Fairbanks Ranch Country Club is at 15150 San Dieguito Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Contact Gabriela Stratton at gmstratton7@aol.com.

If you want to extend your life, eat less, exercise and don’t smoke.” Historic preservation chairman Katharine Dixon, MD, announced that the first bell in the chapter’s El Camino Real Bell project had been refurbished. Located in the Lomas Santa Fe Plaza outside the Union Bank, the bell got a facelift with a scrubbing and new coat of paint by the shopping center’s maintenance crew. The El Camino Real bells commemorate the colonial path from San Diego’s Presidio to San Francisco, linking missions, forts

and pueblos. Many bells in local communities have become faded, rusted or corroded. The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution is a volunteer women’s service organization that honors and preserves the legacy of patriot ancestors. Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership. De Anza’s active lineage committee helps prospective members with their applications. Visit www.deanzadar. org.
