Bugs threaten health, appearance of RSF citrus trees Santa Fe District agreements aim BY JOE TASH to protect water rights, save money
Two tiny pests that feed on citrus trees pose a big risk to Rancho Santa Fe and surrounding areas, including increased fire hazard, diminished property values and a blight on the region’s scenic appeal. Rancho Santa Fe alone is home to an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 citrus trees, mostly lemons, said Chuck Badger, owner of R.E. Badger and Sons, a local company that manages groves and agricultural lands for property owners. The pests in question are the diaprepres root weevil, also known as the citrus root weevil, and the Asian citrus psyllid. Adult weevils feed on the leaves of citrus trees, while the larvae do the most damage, burrowing underground and eating the tree’s roots,

The psyllid poses the biggest risk, because it can carry a bacterium called huanglongbing, a disease fatal to citrus trees. Huanglongbing, or HLB, means “yellow shoot disease” in Chinese. So far, the bacterium has not been found in San Diego County, although it has been detected in Los Angeles County. The Asian citrus psyllid itself is present in San Diego County. See INSECTS, page 22
Torrey Pines campus grieves for inspirational teacher ‘Coach C’ BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School is mourning the loss of one of its beloved teachers, Scott Chodorow, who passed away Nov. 1 after battling lymphoma for more than a year. Known simply as “Coach C,” he was described by many as “the heart of Torrey Pines.” Chodorow had the opportunity to make an impact on many lives as a teacher, the school’s ASB adviser and the cheer coach for 10 years. “Through his work in the classroom, on the field and at countless dances and events, Scott touched thousands of lives and helped make Torrey Pines the incredible school it is,” read a statement from the high school. “Scott’s legacy will live on through his family, the
BY JOE TASH Two agreements approved Wednesday, Oct. 29, by the Santa Fe Irrigation District are expected to clarify the district’s storage rights for water in Lake Hodges, as well as save money by partnering with neighboring water districts on maintenance projects. Both agreements were approved on 3-0 votes by the water district’s board of directors. The first agreement was among the city of San Diego, the San Dieguito Water District and Santa Fe. The agreement amends a deal struck in the 1920s that gave the two water districts rights to some of the water in Lake Hodges. Under the amendment approved Oct. 29 by the board — which had previously been approved by the two other agencies — Santa Fe and San Dieguito can collectively store up to 5,000 acre-feet of water in Lake Hodges. The two districts also split with San Diego the rights to water that flows into the reservoir from rainfall. An acre-foot is about 326,000 gallons, or enough water to last two average families of four for a year. Santa Fe sells about 10,000 acre-feet of water each year to its customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch, and, historically, about 30 percent of that supply has come from Lake Hodges. The amount of local water available varies from year to year, depending on rainfall. The See WATER, page 22

RSF Association Board Biz: Looking for community? Get active! BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD So many people have expressed their interest in getting involved in the Rancho Santa Fe community. I can’t tell you how good it feels to get calls and emails from people who are sincerely interested in being a part of progress. There are lots of different ways to build community! Barbara Kruer, chairwoman of the Trails and Recreation Committee, sent me this message to share with you: “The Trails and Recreation Committee voted to sponsor TRAILS HIKES/ WALKS monthly as follows: Beginning in January 2015, on the third Wednesday of the month, we will meet at the Golf Club at 4 p.m. Details will be posted on the Association website and in the monthly calendar that is mailed to all Covenant members. And Complimentary Snacks will be provided afterwards! “We also voted to sponsor 3 Equestrian Trail Rides with the Rancho Riding Club in 2015. These rides will offer two options: a lon-
Ann Boon ger, more challenging ride and a shorter one. Afterwards, lunch will be provided at the Riding Club. The exact dates are pending further discussion with the Riding Club and review of the scheduled use of the ball fields for 2015. Again, watch for details on the Association website. Both Hikes and Rides are at member request, so we are hopeful there will be a good turnout! We encourage and welcome volunteers to assist with the Trail Rides as they require significantly more planning and manpower.” So, hikers and riders: This is a great opportunity to get active, volunteer and build community! Thanks to Barbara and the entire Trails & Rec committee! As I have mentioned before, the Association board is

working very hard on finding the best solution to our Internet problem. Just last week, we received a memo from a group of Rancho Santa Fe residents stating that they have funded a feasibility study that will address the financial viability of building a complete fiber-optic network. This group includes Fred Luddy, Eoin O’Shea, and Todd Mikles. In the memo, the group said: “Our research indicates that ownership by Rancho Santa Fe as opposed to contracting with a major service provider will be more costeffective and future proof. The Study will include a comprehensive overview of the project.” This group has agreed to fund the survey at no cost to the Association. The company they hired, Magellan Consultants, has done several projects in California, including building fiber networks for the cities of Riverside, Davis, West Sacramento, Woodland, and the County of Yolo. Magellan has also done projects in the states of Florida, Texas, Colorado, Missouri, Montana, Vermont, Ohio, and Washington. The study should be
completed before January 2015. Special thanks to Fred, Eoin and Todd. Your effort truly shows a desire to build community and is an example of really getting active! In another arena, the Covenant Design Review Committee is looking for two volunteers to serve on the committee, starting in January. Our residents are really making the job of the nominating committee easy — we have a great group of
volunteers already. The board will be interviewing candidates in our meeting on Dec. 4. Thanks to the members of the CDRC and all the volunteers. You are making big contributions to our community. One last word on community building: Whether you have voted “yes” or “no” on the ballot question to fund the planning of a proposed health club facility, I hope you will respect and thank the volunteers who worked so hard on the initial study. They expended enormous amounts of time and energy, motivated purely by their devotion to Rancho Santa Fe and by their desire to build community. A big thank you to all of them! I appreciate hearing from you. Let me know how you are building community at ann.boon@me.com.

Mortgage broker sentenced for mortgage, Armenian Church wins unanimous tax and bankruptcy fraud offenses approval for El Camino Real site — FBI press release Donald V. Totten — who had previously operated a lucrative mortgage business from his Rancho Santa Fe home — was sentenced Oct. 24 to 30 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Michael M. Anello for orchestrating a host of fraud schemes. Totten, who has been in custody since his arrest on July 24, 2013, pleaded guilty in February 2014 to four felony counts relating to his mortgage, tax, and bankruptcy frauds. According to court documents, Totten made millions at the height of the mortgage boom by running national TV commercials to recruit borrower clients to refinance their home mortgages. “Prosecuting people who have contributed to the mortgage meltdown is one of my top priorities because they have played such a significant role in our nation’s financial turmoil,” said U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy. “My office will not allow individuals to make themselves rich at the expense of the American people and the taxpayers. I am pleased to report that this defendant’s decade-long crime spree is finally over.” Using a variety of companies — such AS Money World, Island Financial, and Integrated Home Loans — Totten marketed the “adjustable rate negative-amortization loan,” which allowed borrowers to make low monthly loan payments that did not even cover interest charges or contribute to the outstanding principle balance. Although these loans had very low monthly payments, they increased the bor-
rowers’ outstanding principal loan balance over time. Totten also regularly pitched “stated income” loans, which did not require extensive documentation to support a borrower’s purported income. To deceive lenders into funding these loans, Totten and his staff routinely made up false financial information for clients so they would appear to qualify for loans which, in reality, they could not afford. From this endeavor, Totten took a hefty commission every time a loan closed. Totten also ran a separate scheme to skim inflated equity from real estate sales, including luxury homes in Hawaii and Colorado. Along with business partners Jason Kent, Grant and Marisa McCollough, and others, Totten recruited investors to act as “straw” buyers in the purchase and re-sale of property. The conspirators arranged for the buyers’ loan applications to include false financial information, using made-up bank accounts, fictitious employment, and exorbitant salaries — and supported these claims with falsified or fabricated documents. They misrepresented the source of down payments, pretending that the borrowers were contributing their own funds. And they obscured the true recipients of the sale proceeds, so the lenders would not know that Totten and his co-conspirators were the ones profiting from the sales. Once they acquired the properties, the buyers would transfer ownership to Totten without disclosing the transfer to the mortgage lenders. Totten and his co-conspirators used this scheme to ob-
BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Planning Commission unanimously approved St. John Garabed Church, an Armenian church planned for El Camino Real. Plans have been in the works for the past six years for the church to move from its overcrowded North Park facility to North County, where a large population of the congregation lives. The last step in a long process will be approval from the state Coastal Commission. For Commissioner Andrew Wagner, the most influential input they received was in the form of letters written to the commission from two young parishioners: Ani Kradjian, 9, and Mari Kradjian, 5, from Carmel Valley. In green marker, Mari wrote, “Please vote for our church because we are running out of room.” “That’s what your church is all about, the foundation of a young person and how that church can have a positive and significant impact on their

vices department, because the board has 16 voting members, the vote lacked a majority and counts as a “no vote.” Over the years, the project has faced challenges because of its closeness to protected lands in the city’s Multiple Species Conservation Program as well as issues of access on a busy stretch of El Camino Real. Marcela Escobar Eck, a principal with Atlantis Group (land use consulting), which represents the church, said all of the wildlife agencies have signed off on the project, as the church has have stayed out of the sensitive lands. But the access remained difficult — the neighboring Harvest Evangelical Formosan Church did not grant access through its property.

RSF’s Tanz family presents $1 million gift for Medical Research at Sanford-Burnham Gala San Diego’s philanthropic community was out in force at the annual Sanford-Burnham Gala, during which the Tanz family of Rancho Santa Fe gifted $1 million to fund research on neurodegenerative diseases. More than 200 attendees were on hand at the elegant event held Nov. 1 at the Estancia Hotel and Spa in La Jolla. The gift establishes a joint effort between Sanford-Burham and the Tanz Centre at the University of Toronto to find new therapeutic treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS. Contributors to the cause paid $1,000 each for the black-tie event. Sponsorship tables ranged from $10,000 to $50,000. The evening’s glamorous “Top Hat” theme came from Irving Berlin’s classic musical. The guest list included prominent charity donors from Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, Del Mar and Carmel Valley. The chairs for the event were RSF residents Karen and Stuart Tanz, along with Lisa and Steven Cassidy. They all expressed gratitude towards the participants of the sold-out event, stating that the future looks bright, thanks to warm and giving hearts.
Right: Gala Chair Karen Tanz of Rancho Santa Fe and Gloria Limas
Among the attendees was Congressman Juan Vargas, who said it was wonderful to see the outpouring of support for medical research: “What we are truly celebrating tonight is the generosity that our community has towards important causes such as neurodegenerative research. Events such as this gala tonight contribute greatly to the medical strides our next generation will benefit from.” This collaboration will bring together the cutting-edge resources of Sanford-Burnham’s drug discovery platform and drug optimization technologies with the Tanz Centre’s expertise in neurobiology and prototype therapeutic testing. The director of the centre, Dr. Peter St. George-Hyslop, says this landmark gift is a catalyst that will drive important research between the two organizations, leading towards improved treatment for millions of people who will experience a neurodegenerative disease during this lifetime. Sanford-Burnham is a nonprofit, independent institute that employs more than 1,000 scientists and staff in La Jolla and Orlando, Fla. www.sanfordburnham.org.

Former TPHS football star continues sports success on ‘thriving’ University of Arizona team BY ROB LEDONNE One of the biggest stars to come out of the Torrey Pines football program in recent years is RSF native Jacob Alsadek, the towering 6-foot-7-inch athlete who collected a variety of notable accomplishments during his time in North County, including being named one of the top 300 high school athletes in the country, helping his team win the Surf Cup, and being named a Union Tribune Scholar-Athlete. These days, Alsadek has managed to continue his charmed sports career as a freshman offensive lineman for University of Arizona’s Wildcats. “I feel good so far this season,” said Alsadek on a recent Wednesday morning from the University’s campus in Tucson. “You always want to do better, though. I want to get better and better as time goes on, so I’m never really satisfied.” It’s that defiant attitude which made Alsadek a standout during his time at Torrey Pines. However, Alsadek explains, playing college football is an entirely different experience from playing in high school. “I thought I was strong
Jacob Alsadek when I was in high school,” he said. “Then, I come out here and realize that everyone’s strong and big... I’m still one of the stronger guys on the team, but in high school I was able to completely overpower somebody without trying, and here I have to pay attention to my technique. Back in high school, I didn’t have to worry about any of that because nobody was as big as me!” Aside from the expanding physicality of the players, Alsadek also points out that playing for a club like the Arizona Wildcats, an NCAA team in the Pac 12 conference, involves a bit more dedication than what he was initially used to. “I’m at the next level

‘I thought I was strong when I was in high school,’ says Jacob Alsadek. ‘Then, I come out here and realize that everyone’s strong and big.” Photo by Arizona Athletics right now where all my hard work is paying off,” he explains. “Football means a lot more to me than it did back in Torrey Pines; now I put way more time, and more of my heart, into it.” Alsadek also quickly learned the difference between high school and college games. “I thought a lot
of people went to our high school games,” he said. “I recently had a (Wildcat) game up in Oregon, and it got so loud that my ears were ringing and the turf was shaking.” The past season for the Wildcats has been a notable one: Since the season began, the team has lost only a sin-
gle game (against USC on Oct. 11). Besides that blemish, the Wildcats have reigned victorious over Washington State, Cal, and the University of Oregon, leading to a recent Sports Illustrated headline that called the team “thriving.” Much of the credit goes to Wildcats
coach Rich Rodriguez and a rejuvenated team, which includes Alsadek. Alsadek acknowledged he has come a long way from his humble beginnings at Torrey Pines, especially from his first game as a freshman. One factor that helped him throughout his entire career, he said, were his parents, Sophia and Louay Alsadek. “Both my parents have been huge influences on me; my father works extremely hard and so does my mom. Because of that, it helped me develop as a person.” Another factor in his success is a pure love of the game, which shone through during his very first match as a Wildcat. “It was a highlight,” he recalled. ”Before I went out, I gave my mom a hug and didn’t say anything to her because I couldn’t talk, since I was so nervous. “I had so much fun being back on the field playing this sport that I love so much. To put in enough work to be able to play ... it means a lot to me, and I fully realize how special the opportunities I have are.”

RSF resident’s orphanage in Baja gives medically fragile kids a chance BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Jerry McTaggart considers himself the father of 11 very special children, and it’s difficult for him to speak about them without his eyes filling with tears. The 11 children live at Catherine’s Kids, a home he founded for medically fragile children in Baja California in 2005. If anyone can relate to what the children go through, it’s McTaggart, whose mother gave him up to an orphanage when he was 8 years old because she could no longer care for him. He has dedicated his life to helping those who need it most and he says for everything he’s done, he gets 10 times back.

“They just want to love. Together they’re a family. When I was in a home, there was 68 of us and we became like brothers and sisters,” McTaggart said. “They help each other; it’s beautiful. They’re great kids.” McTaggart named his orphanage after his mother Catherine, who was never out of his life even when he and his brother lived in the orphanage — she visited every other Sunday. At age 17, McTaggart signed up for the Marine Corps and served four years before finding success in the corporate world as a financial consultant. He founded Credit Counselors of America Inc. in 1971, as well as the nonprofit Christian Credit Counselors. McTaggart first got the idea to support an orphanage after taking a mission trip with Horizon Christian Fellowship. The experience touched his heart and he began by supporting 12 orphanages in Baja. McTaggart saw that there was a special-needs population that was being underserved. Children with severe medical issues had no place to go, and Baja has no facilities that accept children with autism under age 12. He wanted to a create a “top-notch” facility in Mexico that would rival what one would find in the U.S. In 2005, he bought a three-building complex in a “sweetheart deal” from Calvary Chapel in Mendocino and has had help fixing it up from churches and volunteer groups who have traveled to Rosarito. The facility is now home to 16 employees and 12 volunteers, providing love, care, education, physical therapy and rehabilitation. The staff work with doctors who volunteer medical expertise, such as a liaison from Rady Children’s
Catherine Kids serves medically fragile children with various needs in Rosarito. Hospital. Catherine’s has a principal and teachers on staff, and the children attend school at the facility. McTaggart works closely with the orphanage’s director, Jan Platovsky, whom he calls a “gift.” Platovsky would say the same about McTaggart. “Jerry is a man with a heart that you commonly do not get to see in people. He knows true suffering and understands the needs of those who have been seriously neglected in our society,” Platovsky said. “Jerry’s commitment to the children has no limits, and begins with the love and care he knows we all need to provide for the kids.” Children at Catherine’s range in age from 1 to 8 years. There’s Adan, who is 6 and has spina bifida. Since coming to Catherine’s, he has learned to be more independent. Catherine’s recently hosted doctorate students from San Diego State University’s physical rehabilitation program who volunteered their time at Catherine’s. Adan had walked on his knees but flourished

Little Alex and Jose, whose mother used crystal meth while she was pregnant, were both born with deformed noses. Only 1 year old, Alex had surgery to open up his nose, which makes it easier to breathe. He also has heart problems.

While McTaggart said both children have a long way to go, Jose was one of three Catherine’s Kids who went to public school for the first time last week. “All three kids were thrilled, but Briana was a true revelation. She loves the school, was not shy and was immediate friends with everyone,” said Platovsky of Briana, who was born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. There’s Camila, a 3-year-old whose parents abandoned her in the hospital after she got sick. It is difficult for her to use one side of her body, but McTaggart said she is full of life: “She is the sweetest little girl you ever saw.” McTaggart said he doesn’t judge the decisions families down there must make to leave their children, like Camila. He said some families are trying to care for a special-needs child while making $1.25 an hour in minimum wage or living in extremely poor conditions. “People used to ask me, ‘Do you hate your mother for abandoning you?’ I told them, ‘Can you imagine how must it much have hurt to put me in there, because she couldn’t feed me?’” McTaggart said.

RSF’s Spirit of Liberty Foundation prepares for Christmas in Cuba (Photos at right) With the holidays approaching, a Rancho Santa Fe nonprofit is planning to bring Christmas to America’s armed forces in Cuba. In preparation for the trip, Spirit of Liberty Foundation founder Richard Rovsek and supporter Gary Bobileff visited the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base from Oct. 11-13. The Rancho Santa Fe residents plan to return to the base during the first weekend of December, along with Santa, presents and the Freedom Bell, a nearly 300-pound Liberty Bell replica. “Because our fighting men and women cannot make it here to be with their families and loved ones over the Christmas holidays, we want to bring a piece of Americana and Christmas to them,” said Bobileff, who with Rovsek, has also brought the spirit of Christmas to active and wounded U.S. servicemen and women in Afghanistan and Iraq.

New Parisi Speed School builds up kids’ athletic foundation, confidence BY KAREN BILLING Local residents Joe and Trisha Virga have brought the Parisi Speed School to San Diego, a training facility for youth that has groomed more than 700,000 athletes nationwide in the past 22 years. The Virgas opened their Sorrento Valley location on Nov. 1, just steps away from their kickboxing studio CKO Kickboxing. Joe Virga said while there is lots of sports-specific training available for kids, there’s a need to focus on athleticism as a whole, building the foundations of a great athlete. Parisi teaches kids ages 7 to 18 how to run faster, build strength and increase flexibility and endurance. “At the end of the day, you’re building confidence, and you hope you’re not making just better athletes but better people, which is so important to me,” said Joe, a father of three boys. “There wasn’t a program like this when I was growing up. I was too scared to play sports when I was younger. I wasn’t coordinated, and I was so fearful of all
sports because I didn’t feel capable of it. So now I hope to give kids an advantage and help change their outlook on life.” Bill Parisi founded the Parisi Speed School in 1992 in New Jersey. Parisi was an All-American in track and field athlete, and to prepare for the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials in the javelin throw, he traveled the world to learn the best training methods. He took what he had learned and started Parisi Speed School in a $500 van he drove from school to school to train young athletes. And he didn’t just work with young athletes — one of his first clients was New York Giants quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion Phil Simms. The first brick-and-mortar facility opened in 1993 in New Jersey, and in 2005 he began franchising. There are now 88 Speed Schools in 27 states — the Sorrento Valley location is one of only two in Southern California. Virga first witnessed Parisi’s method when visiting a friend who is the strength
conditioning coach for the UCLA football team. “It was a masterpiece, watching him train these kids with what he had learned at Parisi Speed School,” Virga said. A week later, fate seemed to arrive in his inbox — an email that Parisi Speed School representatives were coming to San Diego to do a presentation. Virga said “yes” to the opportunity to target the fastest-growing demographic in youth sports, became certified in the Parisi method and started scouting locations for his facility. Virga is a New York native, betrayed by his Brooklyn-tinged accent. He spent an extremely stressful 11 years on Wall Street before he realized he didn’t want to live that kind of unhealthy life. He discovered fitness and never looked back. The certified trainer said at 40, he’s in way better health, physically and mentally, than he was at 30, and admits that if someone told him then what he’d be doing today, he’d have said they were crazy.
Top: Joe Virga trains young athletes at the new Parisi Speed School in Sorrento Valley. Bottom: Joe and Trisha Virga. ‘There wasn’t a program like this when I was growing up,’ says Joe Virga. ‘I hope to give kids an advantage and help change their outlook on life.’ With Trisha, he bought his first CKO Kickboxing franchise in New York and they ran it for five years before he and his wife decided to move to San Diego in 2012. They started a CKO in Sorrento Valley — the noncontact fitness center has women hitting a heavy bag and doing strength training. At Parisi, Trisha will bring her
45-minute boot camp for adults featuring their TRX tools, medicine balls and push sleds. The two facilities are so close to each other on Miramar that the pair will be able to walk back and forth all day, switching off just as they do in taking care of their three little boys. “She does everything, I just show up,” Virga said of his wife and partner. “We’re very blessed to do what we love every day, and we wouldn’t trade that for anything.” The new Parisi facility is a clean, sharp-looking 5,000 square feet. They have a three lane, 25-yard track where they teach kids the mechanics they need to run properly. “You don’t have to be born fast to be fast — that’s a myth,” Virga said. “We can change one or two things about the way you run to get faster, it’s all in the mechanics.” Next to the track is a large artificial turf area where they work on change of direction movements — how to quickly move side to side without getting hurt. “Safety is the No. 1 thing we teach kids,” Virga See SCHOOL, page 24

TPHS girls tennis celebrating 25 straight years of dominance BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Pines High girls tennis team has quite the racquet going. On Thursday, Oct. 30, the team impressively won its 25th consecutive CIF championship at the Barnes Tennis Center. The undefeated Falcons won 17-1 in the Open Division against La Jolla Country Day, with all of the girls dominating their matches. “Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon are such fierce rivals, we were expecting to play LCC in the finals,� said senior CC Schwab, who was team captain with senior Kelsey Chen. “Somehow in the seminfinals, La Jolla Country Day got by LCC. At the finals, it was unbelievable — all the LCC girls had ‘Go TP’ shirts on. I don’t think that’s ever happened in the history of LCC and TP to have our rivals cheer for us.� CC noted that the 17-1 score doesn’t reflect the good competition La Jolla Country Day gave them and said they had a lot of respect for the team and their coach, Jocelyn Burkett. “This may be the best team Torrey Pines has ever had,� said Coach John deLille, who is in his first season as varsity coach. He was the girls junior varsity coach last year and also coaches the boys varsity tennis team. “They all impress me.� The girls celebrated by giving Coach deLille a Gatorade shower. Nationally ranked The depth of the girls squad is shown by the endless combifreshman Hannah Zhao. Photo by Anna nations in the lineup, said CC, who posted wins with close to 10 different players in matches throughout the season. Scipione “It’s been so much fun for me to be a captain of our team. Every single girl on our team is a fantastic player in her own right,� said CC. “We knew that based on talent and numbers, we could win CIF. Our challenge has been to keep the team united and to try to learn from each other. It hasn’t always been easy, since we’re a group of teenage girls, and I’m so proud that our team came through and won the 25th consecutive CIF for TP.� The team still has work to do, prepping for the state championships, which begin Nov. 18. As deLille said, the biggest challenge ahead will be keeping everyone focused on the task at hand and not letting outside distractions get to them.

CCA girls win first CIF team tennis championship In their fourth final in as many years, the Canyon Crest Academy Girls tennis team, at long last, won its first CIF Team Championship by a score of 10-8, defeating Bishop’s Knights in a tense, hard-fought Division 1 battle. The dual match was secured when the Ravens’ No. 3 sophomore team, Emma Burton and Juliann Li, won their set 6-2 over Bishop’s No. 2 team. The dagger came when senior Hayley Scarano and sophomore Amanda Schiffman, the Ravens’ No. 1 team, won the final set of the day 6-3 over Bishop’s No. 3 team. Special praise to freshman Charlotte Alexander for holding down her No. 3 singles position on the team. Last, to freshman Jordan Voytilla, sophomore Lily Richard, and to junior Madeline Snigaroff for their contribution in the team’s overall success. Both seniors, Otilia Popa and Madison Ross, won two of their three sets by overwhelming their opponents in businesslike fashion, helping CCA win the first CIF tennis title in Canyon Crest’s 10-year history. The Ravens were jubilant in being able to secure the title, as this would be the last chance seniors Popa, Madison, and Scarano would have to bring home the top prize and earn a banner for the school’s gym. In post-season play, the Lady Ravens swept through Patrick Henry High School, Coronado High, and Westview High on their road to the final. Coach Larry Belinsky gave his team much praise and credit for being focused and steadfast throughout the competition. “They never lost sight of the prize in front of them,� he said. “I am so happy for them.�

Making drug free choices is what matters
Why Be Drug Free
BY STEPHEN MARREN On all of the fifth grade classroom doors, there are baby pictures of all of the students. The door says “Born to be Drug Free.” It’s cute to see all of the babies on the classroom door, but not all babies get off to a good, drug free start. Our family has taken care of 33 foster babies. Many of them are with us because the parents took or are taking drugs. The parents made the wrong choice and so the babies are with us in a temporary home not with their permanent families. These babies won’t have as many baby pictures to put on the door of their classroom. People spend so much money on drugs, although there is no reason. First, drugs are extremely bad for your health. For young people, whose bodies are still growing, this is especially bad. Drugs can cause brain damage, heart problems and damage other internal organs. Some drugs can even cause a heart attack, even in a kid. Although alcohol and cigarettes are legal, if you have too much it can be dangerous. Cigarettes can lead to lung cancer or even death. Why would you take drugs if they could kill you? While using drugs, people are also less able to do well in school, sports, and other activities. Drugs often make it harder to think clearly and make good decisions. If you were taking a test you could lose focus and the answers fog up in your mind. In sports, it could hurt your hand-eye coordination making it harder to catch something or hit a ball. Drugs can cause you to make stupid decisions, that could be dangerous. In life, some people don’t get a chance to start drug free. That isn’t the important thing. What matters is what they do, if they make good drug free choices that’s what matters.
BY MIKKO KOHNKESUNENSHINE Why be drug free? You can harm yourself and others by using drugs the wrong way. Drugs are a choice, and it is your decision on how much you use or don’t use. I will be discussing alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana. One of the most commonly talked about drugs is alcohol. The adults of our society drink it on many occasions and it is used in some religious ceremonies. Alcohol is one of the drugs that are ok, taken responsibly. If you abuse it, your mind and body gets confused and sick. If one decides to drive drunk they are jeopardizing their own life, as well as others. Alcohol doesn’t have to be bad it is what you choose to do with it and how much you choose to drink. Another drug is tobacco found in cigarettes. There are many people who smoke them all around us. To start smoking someone had to make that choice, although
knowing it can kill them. In my research, I found there is no positive in smoking and in fact second hand smoke can cause the same harmful diseases to a nonsmoker. That makes it an irresponsible, unhealthy choice, not just for yourself but also for others around you. One more drug I would like to talk about is marijuana. Marijuana is a dried leaf, flower, and stem from the plant Cannabis sativa. Marijuana contains an ingredient called THC that makes you feel high. It is less common to see people smoking mari-
juana because it is illegal. Even so, marijuana is proven to be helpful in some illnesses. Yet, it is highly addictive like cigarettes. If you take it you can put yourself at risk of it controlling your life instead of you running your own life, being drug free. To be drug free you empower yourself with the right choice. To stop or begin, to be “cool” or not, to find real happiness or live in fake happiness is your decision. We are the people who start it, who stop it, who change it.

WATER continued from page 1 rest of the district’s water is purchased from outside sources, and is more expensive than local water. The agreement was needed to clarify the two district’s water rights after Lake Hodges was connected to the regional aqueduct system as part of the County Water Authority’s emergency storage project. The two districts sued the city of San Diego in 2008 over the water rights issue, and the lawsuit was later set aside. Since then, the three parties have been working on an updated agreement. “It has been at the top of our priority list to resolve this issue,” said Santa Fe board President Michael Hogan. “It’s very important to the ratepayers of our district. It secures our local water rights in a way that we can better manage our long-term water supplies, and reduce our reliance on imported water.” Maximizing the use of local water allows the district to control costs and keep rates down, said Hogan. Santa Fe also expects to save about $70,000 per year in operating and maintenance costs for the Lake Hodges reservoir, because those costs will be shared more equitably with other agencies. The other agreement approved by the board Wednes-
day involves “cathodic protection” systems, which use an electrical current to prevent corrosion of steel water pipes. The agreement is between Santa Fe and its neighbors, the San Dieguito and Olivenhain water districts. According to a district press release, the partnership will save each district about $100,000 in capital costs, as well as small ongoing savings over the 20-year life of the contract. The agreement arose from a tri-agency committee set up in 2013 to explore a range of partnership opportunities among the three water districts, including consolidating key functions. The committee identified a number of short- and longterm projects that provided opportunities for collaboration and cost-sharing, said Hogan. “This is the first one that’s actually resulted in a mutual agreement between the three agencies that will result in cost savings,” said Hogan. “It’s a direct result of the agencies getting together to see how they can leverage assets and resources to be more efficient and control costs.” Also on Oct. 29, the board recognized General Manager Michael Bardin’s 10th anniversary with the district, and re-appointed Hogan as the district’s representative to the board of the County Water Authority.

lives he has changed and the culture of spirit, respect and caring he has created at TPHS.” A memorial will be held for Chodorow at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16, at the high school. Chodorow held an annual cheer camp during the summers, so his influence reached even further, to young Torrey Pines Pop Warner cheerleaders who looked up to him and hoped to cheer for him when they got to high school. Principal David Jaffe said he loved Scott as an educator, father, colleague and friend and his passing has profoundly affected him. “It is a very sad time right now, but in the spirit of Scott we will come together to celebrate his life and grow even closer as a school,” Jaffe said. Jaffe said counselors would be made available this week to help students cope with their loss. After the news broke over the weekend, many students took to social media to express their grief. “Mr. C has been a huge part of my high school experience and life. I will nev-
er forget him,” wrote Scotty Gange, a sentiment that would be echoed by many students who named Chodorow as an inspiration, a role model and father figure. “You have taught me to work without the expectation of appreciation from others and how one person can make a difference in someone’s life,” wrote senior Brandon Hung, who said he had Chodorow as a teacher since he was a freshman. “I wouldn’t have the confidence in myself and the leadership I have learned over the past four years without your guidance and example … You tried your hardest to never show weakness and would never accept anyone’s pity which showed me how strong someone could be no matter the circumstances of life.” In lieu of flowers, or if people would like to help the family at this difficult time, an account has been opened at San Diego County Credit Union in Chodorow’s name.

Commercial groves in Rancho Santa Fe, Olivenhain and other parts of San Diego County have been treated for the pests for some time, said Badger, but untreated backyard citrus trees could provide a foothold for the pests. “It’s the backyard trees that haven’t been treated at all for weevil or psyllids that have us concerned,” said Badger. Badger and officials with the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District have recently addressed the Committee on the Natural Environment, part of the Rancho Santa Fe Association, to raise awareness about the pests. Changes in weather patterns have given the pests traction, allowing them to spread more rapidly, said Bill Beckman, chairman of the environmental committee. “We need to respond to shifts in the weather … and do the right thing to reduce the fire hazard and the spread of diseases, and consider the aesthetic impact of dead and dying trees on our beautiful community. People need to be thinking about these things,” he said.
Treatment to control both pests costs about $6 to $8 per tree, said Badger. A twice-yearly regimen of treatment is recommended to control both the root weevil and Asian citrus psyllid, said Enrico Ferro, a Valley Center avocado grower who serves as grower liaison for San Diego County for the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Those treatments, in late winter and late summer, together not only reduce the spread of psyllid, but kill other pests, and improve the health and appearance of backyard citrus trees. “It really knocks out all the bad guys before the spring flush,” when new leaves sprout on citrus trees, Ferro said. Some companies offer a reduced price when a number of homeowners in a neighborhood have their trees treated at the same time, Ferro said. The Asian citrus psyllid is particularly dangerous because the bacterium that it can carry kills trees, and is not curable. In Florida, he said, HLB has wiped out more than half of the state’s citrus groves. “It’s important to everySee INSECTS, page 24

Making minor food swaps can create major health benefits BY ATHENA PHILIS-TSIMIKAS, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH “Eat a healthy diet.” You’ve probably heard this advice over and over again, and you probably know the basics: Consume less fat and sugar, make more nutritious choices, add more fiber to your meals. But how do you actually implement these recommendations day in and day out? It can feel overwhelming to think about changing the way you eat — especially if you are planning and preparing meals for your whole family. Yet you may find it surprisingly easy to make a few small substitutions. Over time, these can add up to significant health benefits, such as lower blood pressure and better cholesterol levels. Swapping one food for another similar but better option can help you consume more vita-
mins and minerals, and may make it easier to manage your weight. Plus, if you’re living with Type 2 diabetes, or are among the 86 million Americans with high glucose levels bordering on diabetes, replacing foods that send blood sugar skyrocketing for others that keep them in check can make a significant difference in managing or even preventing the disease. Here are six simple substitutions to try: 1. Replace refined white grains with whole grains. Refined grains, such as white rice or white flour, are whole grains that have had their husk, bran and germ removed — along with most of the fiber and important nutrients. Research has shown that eating whole grains can lower your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes by 20 to 30 percent. And, because whole grains are more filling than refined grains, you’ll feel full longer. Instead of white rice, try brown See FOOD, page 24

rice, quinoa or barley. Instead of white bread, choose bread with a whole grain listed as the first ingredient. 2. Replace iceberg lettuce with darker greens. Iceberg lettuce provides water and some fiber, but that’s about it for nutrition. Substitute dark leafy greens such as spinach, arugula, kale, Swiss chard or collard greens, and suddenly you have a lot more nutrition as well as fiber. Darker greens are excellent sources of vitamins A and C, as well as magnesium and potassium, which can help control high blood pressure. If you need to make a gradual switch, start by adding more dark greens and less iceberg to your salads. 3. Replace fried chips with baked. Craving a crunchy bag of chips? Many types of conventional snack chips are now available in baked versions that contain less fat. Try baked potato or baked tortilla chips instead of fried. Popcorn chips provide
the same crunch as potato chips with less fat and calories. For an even healthier option, try baked kale chips. 4. Replace fruit juice with whole fruit. A glass of juice may be more convenient, but eating the whole fruit is a better option. Apple, orange and grape juices do not contain the fiber-rich skins and pulp of the fruit, which slow down the absorption of sugar and prevent insulin from spiking. Because juice has all of the sugar without the fiber, insulin levels rise and drop more quickly — exactly what you don’t want, especially if you have diabetes. Instead of buying juice, eat the whole fruit. Also, bypass the smoothie shops that use a lot of juice and make your own at home with whole strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and almond milk or low-fat yogurt. Toss in a handful or raw kale or spinach — you’ll get the benefits without even tasting it. 5. Replace breakfast cereal with steel-cut oats. Many boxed cereals are made with refined grains and can be low in fiber and
high in sugar. Switch to oatmeal instead and increase your fiber intake. Instant oatmeal may take less time to prepare, but steel-cut oats are higher in fiber and will cause insulin levels to rise more slowly. If you are short on time, prepare several servings of steel-cut oats over the weekend and reheat them for breakfast in the morning. Mix in almonds, walnuts or low-fat yogurt for a protein boost. 6. Replace oil with applesauce. Instead of making brownies, cakes and banana breads with oil, use an equal amount of applesauce. In addition to reducing fat and calories, substituting applesauce makes baked foods lighter and moister. Choose natural, unsweetened applesauce with no added sugar.

ORPHANAGE continued from page 6
“There’s no blame; it gets you nowhere. The kids need help. It doesn’t matter why they’re there.” Some families, like McTaggart’s mom, remain present in the children’s’ lives. Ana Karen’s grandmother, who struggled to take care of her grandchild with severe cerebral palsy, visits whenever she can. McTaggart keeps tabs on his kids constantly. He has remote cameras linked to his phone so he can always check in, and he visits the orphanage every week — he laughs when he tells how the kids call out “Jerry! Jerry! Monica!” when he comes with his wife. “They just love us. Of course my wife wants to bring them all home,” he said. McTaggart encourages people to visit the orphanage and love them; he has never forgotten the visits he received when he was a kid. Platovsky can help organize service trips and visitors. “Anyone who visits Catherine’s in Rosarito leaves completely changed,” Platovsky said. “There is something happening here that cannot be put in words — it needs to be experienced. Everyone that visits agrees.” McTaggart said the experience can be especially affecting to teenagers, who may forget their daily worries when they see a child
who is unable to stand on his own. “You get such an appreciation of what we take for granted, when you see what these little kids have to do just to get up in the morning,” McTaggart said. The orphanage has 11 children right now, but McTaggart said it could get four more children this year. While the average child costs about $200 a month to care for, the medically fragile children at Catherine’s require about $2,000 a month. McTaggart has been taking on about 90 percent of the expenses, but he is looking for more people to get involved. The nonprofit recently held a fundraiser at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. There is so much need, he said — hundreds of kids need care like Catherine’s provides, and he would love to see more children given a chance to thrive. “What we need is sustainability. I’m not going to live forever, I’m not going to have this income forever,” said McTaggart, now 73. “Even God doesn’t want me to do it all. When you meet them you’ll see, you’ll be hooked. They don’t know that anything’s wrong with them … there’s no teasing, they’re always laughing. “If you’re missing this, you’re missing everything.” Visit CatherinesKids.org or call McTaggart at 760804-8520.

St. Garabed Church meets in North Park, in a facility it has outgrown. Spokesman Harry Krikorian said the church purchased the property in 2008 to fulfill dreams for a new church campus and applied for a conditional use permit back in 2011. Church officials have since worked “diligently” to create a plan that makes sense for their congregation while also respecting the land and the concerns of residents. “We look forward to realizing our dream of a new church campus,” said Steven Kradjian, who has attended St. John Garabed for more
than 20 years — it’s where he met his wife Lisa. “It will be a beautiful and faithful testament to iconic Armenian churches … it’s the legacy we wish to leave for our children and grandchildren.” Many supporters came to the commission, all dressed in white. But not everyone who spoke was in favor of the project. Nancy Novak, who is on the Carmel Valley planning board but spoke as a resident, expressed her concerns about the project’s bulk and scale. She said the land where the project will be built is supposed to be a relief from urbanization and should stay open space, or with a very low-density use. Representatives from the Harvest Evangelical Formosan Church also came forward with concerns about the size, 50 feet taller than their church campus, and the safety of the access road. “El Camino Real is a

tain a $3.4 million oceanfront home in Lahaina, Hawaii, where the McColloughs lived for several years without making any mortgage payments. Totten used several of the properties he acquired to fraudulently shelter $3.4 million in taxable income from the Internal Revenue Service. In his tax filings, Totten claimed that he earned deferred, non-taxable gains when in fact, as he knew, the income was taxable. As a result, Totten cheated the IRS out of more than half a million dollars in unpaid taxes. Totten’s wealth diminished with the real estate crash, and in 2012 he filed for bankruptcy in the District of Hawaii. Totten used the bankruptcy case as yet another opportunity to shelter money that did not belong to him, hiding nearly $100,000 in income he earned by renting out one of his fraudulently obtained Hawaii vacation homes. Totten arranged for his associates to collect the rental income for him, so that the trustee charged with control major thoroughfare and there’s a lot of traffic. Most of the time it’s congested and people are driving 50 miles per hour down the hill, very fast,” said William Nguyen from Harvest. “I see this design as definitely creating a hazard.” Commissioner Douglas Austin agreed that he is concerned about safety, as a close friend was killed in an accident on this curve of El Camino Real. City traffic engineer Farah Mahzari said city staff shared those concerns with the location of the driveway, but they feel the problem will be resolved with the addition of a 140-foot-long right-turn lane as an entrance into the project and a 900-foot-long acceleration lane exiting of the project. Commission Chairperson Tim Golba said that is a very fast road, but he is satisfied by the acceleration and deceleration lanes as a solution. Golba noted he is often in the area for Surf

I am pleased to report that this defendant’s decadelong crime spree is finally over.” The McColloughs both pleaded guilty to participating in the conspiracy on September 30, 2014. They are scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Anello on Jan. 5, 2015. Jason Kent pleaded guilty to wire fraud on July 21, 2014, and admitted assisting Totten, the McColloughs, and others in carrying out the mortgage and kickback scheme. Kent’s case was transferred to the District of Hawaii and he is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 26, 2015, before U.S. District Judge Leslie E. Kobayashi. Totten’s employee and loan processor, Shellie Lock-
ard, pleaded guilty to participating in the conspiracy to defraud mortgage lenders. According to her plea agreement, Lockard processed fraudulent loans for Totten, and earned commissions of approximately $1,000 per loan. She was sentenced on Sept. 15, 2014, by Judge Anello, and ordered to serve six months in home detention. According to court documents, many of the fraudulently obtained mortgage loans subsequently defaulted, causing mortgage lenders and secondary purchasers, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to suffer significant losses as a result of the conspiracy. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government-sponsored enterprises with a mission to provide liquidity, stability, and affordability to the U.S. housing market. Both enterprises assist mortgage lenders by purchasing the loans they originate, enabling the lenders to replenish their funds to finance additional mortgage loans for American homebuyers. The statements borrowers make in loan applications are an important factor in Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s determination whether to purchase a mortgage loan.

Commissioner James Whalen said as the church will be “visually very prominent,” he encouraged them to use stone as much as possible, even though he understands cost will be an issue. Commissioner Austin agreed. “If it’s true to what you are looking to do, I think it could be a rich addition to the neighborhood,” Austin said. “I encourage you to really go the extra mile on material, colors and details.” “The goal and hope is to make it as authentic as possible,” Escobar-Eck said. As part of that authen-
tic vision, the church will also have a memorial plaza to honor next year’s 100year anniversary of the Armenian genocide, in which 1.5 million Armenians lost their lives. Member Mary Ann Yaghdjian grew emotional when speaking about the church as a whole and what it means to the roughly 3,000 Armenians who have been in San Diego since the 1920s. “We are a small people and a lot of our culture has been lost … We’re doing our part to pass it on to the next generation. It’s culturally significant to everyone,” said Yaghdjian. “We are grateful to this country for opening the door to us in our darkest times.”

‘Globe for All’ program tours with ‘All’s Well That Ends Well’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER The heart of most theatrical teams goes beyond merely entertaining. Educating, inspiring, and providing a respite from daily life are usually part of the goal. The Old Globe Theatre has continued to excel in these endeavors since its beginning. Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein has brought new ideas and outstanding work to this theater, most recently with the program “Globe for All.� It’s a professional production Shakespeare tour to serve communities throughout San Diego by collaborating with a diverse range of organizations, including Naval Base San Diego, Veterans Village, George L. Stevens Senior Center, Morgan Kimball Towers, Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation Celebration Hall, San Diego Central Library’s Shiley Special Events Suite, Father Joe’s Village, Centinela State Prison, and the Globe’s Hattox Hall. Eric Louie, a Globe associate producer, was in on the planning. “Along with our director of education, Roberta Wells-Famula, we’re overseeing those putting the tour

Photo by Mike Hausberg. together and all the venues for community outreach to audiences,� Louie said. Edelstein chose Shakespeare’s “All’s Well That Ends Well� and is also directing. “He’s worked on this play before and loves it,� Louie said. “It’s a great piece to launch this new initiative. It’s a romance with a sense of magic and wonder, it’s funny, and at the same
time deeply moving, about a young woman from a lower economic bracket who falls for a man and how they come together.� The cast includes recent Old Globe/USD M.F.A. Program graduates, Old Globe/ USD alumni, and local favorites. In keeping with Edelstein’s belief that theater belongs to everyone, he and
his team focused on the community to determine where this production would take place. “There were certain communities we knew we wanted to reach,� Louie said. “We identified audiences that were not traditionally ones we see here at The Globe, people who don’t have access to theater populations like homeless,
veterans, and those currently incarcerated.� One venue on that list is Centinela State Prison in Imperial. As imagined, the Globe team has some extra hoops to jump through for this to take place. “They’ve been wonderful to work with,� Louie said. “We did a site visit to work through logistics. At the Globe we have an entire system in place, but in performing at places like cafeterias, gymnasiums, multipurpose rooms and a prison that are not used to having a live performance, there were things we had to figure out.� Although not a full per-
formance of the play, Louie confirmed that the prisoners would see high-caliber Shakespeare, simply staged with no theatrical lighting, but still with sets, props and costumes. “Everything must fit into a van and is built with a keen eye on having it feel like a full production, but without all the bells and whistles,� he said. “The focus is on the acting and language. Globe associate set designer Sean Fanning, along with Barry, created a conceptual idea of suitcases as the main focus element; things from the cases transform into other things. Michelle Hunt Souza has designed wonderful costumes. There is live music — a soundscape by Kevin Anthenill.� As with the success of the Globe’s Community Voices program, Louie said they are already getting corporate and community involvement in Globe for All. “Some of the venues getting the free tour offer a chance for a handful of their audience members to see this show and write their See GLOBE, page B21

Accomplished actor Richard Dreyfuss to open up onstage at NC Rep benefit Nov. 9
‘Miracle Worker’ adds ASL to production by Theatre School at North Coast Rep
North Coast Repertory Theatre proudly presents an evening with actor Richard Dreyfuss, in which “Richard Dreyfuss Tells You the Truth!” This one-night event will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 9. This is your chance to sit in an intimate space with Dreyfuss, an Academy Award-winning actor, film star, and community leader — and ask him anything! Dreyfuss’ acting career includes such classics as “American Graffiti,” “Jaws,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “The Goodbye Girl,” “Down and Out in Beverly Hills,” “What About Bob?” “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” “Let It Ride,” and many more. Tickets are $100 to benefit North Coast Repertory Theatre and The Dreyfuss Initiative, a nonprofit formed to revive,elevate and enhance the teaching of civics in American public schools. Expect tickets to sell out fast. Buy them at http://www. northcoastrep.org/tickets/index.html or call 858-481-1055. North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, in Solana Beach.
“The Miracle Worker,” presented by the Theatre School at North Coast Repertory Theatre, follows the story of American Helen Keller, who lost both her sight and hearing at a very young age. So it’s understandable why making the play accessible to the deaf community is a priority for director Siobhan Sullivan Crews. What might be surprising is that Sullivan Crews is making the show deaf-friendly not only for the benefit of the deaf community, but for her young actors as well. “To me it is very important,” she said. “I really want our young actors to have an awareness of the challenges people have and see that they can be proactive in both understanding and action … We want to respect the deaf community in our efforts.” The play, based on Keller’s autobiography, follows how she managed to break through her isolation with the help of her teacher, Annie Sullivan, who shows her how to communicate through hand signals. In this production, a character has been added who will act as a storyteller, translating Annie Sullivan’s lines to American Sign Language for the audience. Three of the cast members are fluent in ASL, and the rest of the cast is learning basic ASL with the help of expert Sara Ahlquist.

Both the ASL instruction and learning about Keller’s life provide a learning opportunity for students. “She is an amazing role model for our students — she lived with integrity, strength and conviction,” said Sullivan Crews. “I am inspired by Helen Keller and have been for as long as I can remember,” she added. “She was such a strong woman who not only conquered what others viewed as disabilities, but embraced those challenges to change the world for the better. She is so much more than what we discover in ‘The Miracle Worker.’ She was a strong proponent of women’s voting rights and helped found the ACLU. She was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and has been inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.” “The Miracle Worker” opens Nov. 20. Performances are 5 p.m. Nov. 20, Nov. 22 and Nov. 23, 7 p.m. Nov. 21, and 2 p.m. Nov. 22 and Nov. 23. North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach. Tickets are $16 for adults and $12 for children 17 and under. To buy tickets, call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep. org.

Solana Santa Fe students ‘Sock It to Drugs’ Solana Santa Fe Elementary School students recently wore their craziest socks to a “Sock It to Drugs” event held Oct. 28 at the school. That event and others — such as “Extreme Fun and DJ Dancing and Games” — were held as part of Red Ribbon Week, a national campaign promoting drug, tobacco and alcohol abuse prevention and awareness in youths and their parents. This educational campaign encourages students of every age to choose to live healthy and positive lives and provides parents with the tools to help. Photos by Jon Clark.

Local connections part of Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup For the third consecutive year, Santa Anita Park in Arcadia hosted the Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup World Thoroughbred Championships from Oct. 31-Nov. 1. Several horses with local connections competed, including fan favorite California Chrome, trained by Rancho Bernardo resident Art Sherman. Chrome â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who won this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ran in the $5 million Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup Classic. He rallied in the turn for home, but just missed catching 1-2 finishers Bayern and Toast of New York and finished a neck back in third. Part-time Del Mar resident Mike Pegram was represented by two horses in the Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup: Secret Circle, who fell a half-length short of catching Work All Week in the $1.5 million Xpressbet Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup Sprint and winning the race for a second consecutive year; and Tiz Midnight, sixth behind likely 3-year-old filly champion Untapable in the $2 million Longines Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup Distaff.

Donations sought for sleeping bags to aid homeless veterans in S.D. San Diego Veterans For Peace have begun their fifth year of handing out sleeping bag sets to homeless veterans in downtown San Diego. In December 2010, the San Diego chapter of the national Veterans For Peace organization began the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compassion Campaignâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an outreach to help displaced homeless veterans. Ignited by conversations with many homeless veterans on the street in downtown San Diego, the chapter membership determined that the lives of homeless veterans and nonveterans downtown could improve significantly if given basic equipment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like a sleeping bag â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as many were sleeping rough on hard pavement each night with only a light blanket, their jackets, or nothing. Bag sets are now purchased directly from the Coleman Company in Colorado and are ordered in quantities of 50 or 100 as donations arrive. The Coleman Company generously provides bag sets at tax-free wholesale prices and pays the shipping charges to San Diego. The cost of a set is $33. All administrative costs for this program are prepaid through the financial help of a generous donor. Every dollar donated buys gear. With the amazing generosity of the public, as of October 2014, more than 2,300 sleeping bag sets have been purchased and handed out individually downtown by veteran and associate members of SDVFP. The need is still there, and donations may be made online (www.SDVFP.org) with a credit card or PayPal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or checks made out to â&#x20AC;&#x153;SDVFPâ&#x20AC;? can be mailed to: SDVFP, 11685 Scripps Lake Drive, San Diego, CA 92131. Each donor receives a card of thanks and a receipt for tax purposes, as SDVFP is a 501(c)3 veterans educational organization. For information, contact Gil Field at GField@san.rr.com or 858-342-1964.

Options students with their peer mentors at Cathedral Catholic High School.
ALL EZ CARS ARE REPAIRED AND RECONDITIONED*
Options Peer Mentor program ensures that all are part of Cathedral Catholic family The first Catholic high school in California to host students with intellectual disabilities, Cathedral Catholic High School begins its Options Program with a promising start. With the help of nearly 40 Cathedral Catholic student Peer Mentors, the Options students receive constant attention, integration, and interaction within the CCHS community. These mentors, who encompass the skills necessary to act as tutors, friends, and ambassadors, are chosen through a rigorous application process involving essays, teacher recommendations, and an interview. The students, who were chosen from a pool of around 75 applicants, exhibit leadership skills, respectfulness, attentiveness, and compassion — qualities necessary to make the experience valuable and rewarding for students entering the inclusion program. Through the program, the Options students are able to thoroughly participate in a faith-filled learning environment otherwise unavailable to them. Taking a range of classes from Earth Science to Catholic Faith 9, the Options students engage actively in the core academic life of their peers. Beyond the classroom, they are able to experience extracurricular activities and social opportunities around campus, such as lunchtime festivities, clubs, and ASB events. When asked about his first week at Cathedral, one Options student responded, “It’s been awesome. I’ve made a whole lot of new friends, I’ve met a lot of nice teachers, everyone has been very nice to me ... I feel like it’s my home now.” While affecting the Options students, the program also inspires the entire Cathedral Catholic community through its lessons of awareness and acceptance. The Options Program aligns perfectly with the mission of Christ by creating opportunities that exemplify God’s love and appreciation for all. As the program grows over the coming years, Options students will continue to embody what it means to attend Cathedral Catholic High School, and, alongside their peers, they will be Dons for life.

Play for Pink The Bridges’ annual breast cancer awareness tournament nearly doubled in size from last year, with 70 players participating in the Oct. 29 event. Now in its fourth year, this event has raised over $100,000 for the Play for Pink organization. Always keen on camaraderie, this is a stress-free event for beginners as well as long-time golfers. In fact, the first place team was a class of recent graduates from Pro Steve Wilson’s Golf 101 and have only been playing for two months! Congratulations to Natalie Yount, Alice Brewer, Ronda Stracka, Alejandra Sanchez, Annie Sahm and Ros Lebrija. “Pink” surprises included pink flamingos in select bunkers; anyone who drove into that bunker was allowed to throw out their ball without a penalty. Men dressed in pink were scattered throughout the course and for extra donations, would hit drives, second shots and putts. The morning started with pink doughnuts from VGs in Encinitas.

Diegueño Country School Peace Run Diegueño Country School held its fifth annual Peace Run on Oct. 10 in celebration of International Peace Day. This annual fundraiser supports Diegueño Daughters, a school of 30 girls in the village of Mewat, India, established by Diegueño and overseen by IIMPACT— a foundation developed by MIT graduates to promote education in India. Diegueño Daughters continues to be supported by the school’s chapter of Roots and Shoots, a program founded by renowned anthropologist and humanitarian Jane Goodall to help children know they can make a difference in the world. Through their desire to promote a love for learning, the students at Diegueño are helping to create a brighter future for these deserving children who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to receive an education. At Diegueño Country School, children learn to have global awareness as they become confident communicators who remain curious, ask questions, and are comfortable with challenges. Please join Diegueño for an Open House from 10 a.m.-noon Nov. 15. Tour the school and meet teachers, students, and alumni.

Tax-Smart Investment Strategies Many investors might wait until November or December to begin considering tax-saving strategies, but it’s not too early to start thinking about ways in which you can ease your tax burden. With some careful planning, you can legally reduce taxes owed to the IRS on investment gain. 1. Increase contributions to taxadvantaged accounts Putting money in retirement accounts that carry tax advantages will benefit you twice over. You’ll be saving money for your retirement while potentially lowering your tax bill. For example, the contributions you make to a 401(k) are taken out of your paycheck before you are taxed on those earnings. Likewise, with a traditional IRA, your contributions may be tax deductible, which can further reduce your taxable income. These tax advantages might also drop you
into a lower tax bracket which doubly helps because it also lowers the amount you have to pay on gains from the sale of assets held under one year (short-term capital gains). Finally, you benefit from these accounts in that the dividends and interest earned are only subject to taxes when you withdraw money in retirement. So as long as you keep the money in your plan and follow the rules, you likely won’t have to pay taxes on any returns until it comes time to withdraw. 2. Focus on asset location Asset location is just as important as asset allocation. Due to the tax advantages of retirement accounts, they are also a great place to keep bond funds or other income generating investments. The income these investments gain will be tax free until you withdraw. Another recommendation to decrease your taxes on bonds is to buy municipal bonds. These are debt issued by state and local governments to fund projects and are usually exempt from federal and state taxes. By putting municipal bonds in your taxable account, you can get exposure to bonds without a big tax hit. You wouldn’t want to place these bonds in your retirement account, though, because you couldn’t capitalize on the tax-exempt benefits of these bonds since the interest and capital gains in the retirement account are already
tax-deferred. It is better to take advantage of the tax-exempt nature of municipal bonds in a taxable account. Another strategy is to transfer an aggressive investment into a Roth IRA. After you make the transfer, you have until October 15th of the following year to monitor the investment and re-characterize it if necessary to avoid paying the taxes on a loss. Yet, if the investment pays off, you could have a large gain that will never be taxed. 3. Sell losers, keep winners If you have an investment that is down, don’t be afraid to cut your losses. Not only are you ridding yourself of a sinking ship, but you are also lowering your tax burden as it will offset the gains you’ve realized from your winning investments, which means fewer gains to report to the IRS. And if you have losses on your stocks, you may be able to take up to $3,000 in losses to deduct against your ordinary income. You can also carry forward any losses on investments incurred over $3,000 from earlier years. The easiest way to lower, or at least delay, your taxes is simply by not selling your winning investments. Or if you do, at least wait until you’ve owned the shares for one year. Longterm capital gains are taxed at significantly lower rates than short-term capital gains.
For example, if you have owned a stock for ten months and it has appreciated, but you think there is even more potential, it would behoove you to hold on to it for at least another two months to lock in that long-term rate. Conversely, if you think the stock has over-achieved or reached its max potential, it might be best to lock in profits, regardless of the tax consequences. 4. Distributions in retirement Once you reach retirement, there is a profound shift in risk exposure. The main reason for this is the shift from positive to negative cash flow. Despite this increased volatility, there are things you can do to guard against it. You can affect your tax rate by strategically picking where you take your distributions from. If you want to avoid moving into a higher tax bracket, take more distributions from your Roth IRA, which is tax-free. On the other hand, if you are in a lower tax bracket, do not take from the Roth that year. In the long run, having such flexibility can make a big difference. It is never too early to consider the tax implications of your portfolio. And following just these few steps can make you more taxsavvy, which in the end, means more money in your pocket.

Father Joe’s Village, one of the largest homeless shelters in the county, created buttons they wear around the shelter that say, ‘Ask me about Globe for All.’ ” Louie is pleased that the efforts of this program are already changing lives. “This is not only Barry’s passion to bring live theater into the community; there’s a real commitment from the staff here as well,” he said. “In essence we’re feeling an excitement about live theater coming to areas of our town, and we’re excited because it’s in our home.

Tony-nominated actress/singer visits CCA Acclaimed Broadway stage and screen star Susan Egan delighted Canyon Crest Academy Envision and Conservatory students, faculty and parents on Oct. 23 with a performance and master class in the Proscenium Theater on campus. (Egan was also in town to perform at a Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe event. See review at right.) Egan, who was nominated for a Tony and Drama Desk award for originating the role of “Belle” in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” on Broadway, performed songs from this and other shows she starred in, such as “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “Cabaret.” Egan was accompanied by pianist and musical director Christopher McGovern. While Egan may be best known for her work on Broadway, she boasts an illustrious film career, voicing Megara in Disney’s “Hercules,” and Lin in the Academy Award-winning “Spirited Away.” She has also been seen on film in “13 Going on 30,” “Gotta Kick It Up,” and countless independent films. Egan shared anecdotes about her early career, revealing that the same week she auditioned for the role of Belle, she was rejected A student with Susan Egan; Susan Egan for roles in “Grease,” “Carousel,” and “My performing (below). Fair Lady.” Photos by Simone Camilleri “In order to be successful,” she said, “you have to learn how to deal with rejection and how to prepare for the next audition.” She estimated that she auditioned for, and was rejected for, approximately 100 roles before being cast in “Beauty and the Beast.” One of the afternoon’s many highlights was when Conservatory student Estevão Macário took to the stage and sang “Blue Skies.” Egan gave him feedback: “Why are you singing this song? Who are you talking to?” She explained that singing a song denotes a higher sense of emotion in a story, and that understanding the motivation of the character at that point in the story is one of the most critical elements of a performance. Egan also fielded a number of questions from the students in the audience, who asked about her experiences on stage and in auditions. Egan’s master class was made possible by the CCA Foundation.

‘Belle’ and accompanist ring in a hit evening for Community Concerts event REVIEW BY DR. JACK WHEATON Lights dimmed, the piano-accompanist emerges from behind the curtains to sit in front of the piano keys. A movement of activity shakes the curtain and out emerges Susan Egan (pictured in photos in story at left), dressed in a beautiful shimmering black cocktail dress. As soon as Susan signaled the pianist, we are mesmerized, hearing her bell-like Broadway show voice. Susan has a fantastic repertoire of favorite film, Broadway, and Hollywood songs. She launches into her first song, a high-energy NYC number from the Broadway show “West Side Story,” followed by “I Could Have Danced All Night” and other Broadway show materials. During the evening, the RSF audience heard a wonderful basketful of songs, most from Broadway, Hollywood, and other sources of audience favorites. Between songs (usually two or three in a row), Susan tells the audience about her background, beginning with her childhood, including meeting Jimmy McHugh and Frank Sinatra while visiting her grandparents. What an inspiration! There were other humorous anecdotes of plays in which she starred, but especially about the 787 performances as “Belle,” the “Beauty and the Beast” starring role she’s best known for. She was attractive, with high-energy delivery, great presence, and a wonderful sense of humor. Susan and Christopher McGovern, her accompanist, performed together in a smooth, appropriate piano and vocal style in a wide range of tunes made famous by earlier artists such as Sarah Vaughan’s recording of “Send in the Clowns” and other Sondheim songs, plus a great rendition of Liza Minnelli’s “Cabaret.”
Beyond her performances, recordings, and academics in the educational world, she had time to compose many songs, including “Nina Doesn’t Care,” a darling reflection on her first-born daughter who much prefers Ariel, the “Little Mermaid,” to “Belle” — and Susan is the original Belle, plus the recorded Belle! from “Beauty and the Beast.” Comedy was a natural to Susan. The women in tonight’s audience laughed uproariously at times, particularly when Susan dissected the human male brain with her hilarious stories about her own encounters with the same in her single days. She finally found the perfect partner to comfort her, dine with her, keep her company — her dog. Her final encore included the tune from “William Tell Overture” — with hilarious original lyrics describing the calamities of raising children — a classical piece hard to play, let alone to sing and not miss a note! Standing ovations for all. It was a perfect conclusion to the Rancho Santa Fe portion of Susan’s “Mommy Tour.” Should we book them again? You bet your bippy! Community Concerts’ next concert is Friday, Jan. 25, featuring Alex DePue with Miguel DeHoyos. The final series concert of the year will be Good Company on Friday, Feb. 27. An extra, and very special, concert is being presented Saturday, May 9, “Simply Sinatra,” with Steve Lippia singing the favorites from the Great American Songbook. All concert tickets are available by mail: CCRSF, PO Box 2781, RSF 92067. Checks are appreciated, and Master Card and Visa are also accepted. Please include cc# plus security code, name, address, phone, and email address. Visit www.ccrsf.org or call Gail Kendall, president, CCRSF, 858-248-0892.
‘Tulipmania’ blossoms at art show Nov. 6-9 Award-winning fine art photographer David Leaser will present his critically acclaimed “Tulipmania” series, a collection of groundbreaking large-scale tulips, from Nov. 6-9 at the Art San Diego Show. Using innovative space-age technology, Leaser features richly detailed images of botanicals in a way they have never been seen before. His “bee’s-eye” close-ups highlight details that traditional photography has been unable to capture until now. Leaser developed his leading-edge technique by combining technology from NASA and Nikon. He compresses dozens of layers of photos together for each image, then enlarges them enormously. He then uses another innovative process to produce the final work: polished aluminum. He infuses the images into specially treated aluminum panels with heat and pressure. “When you combine this photographic technique with this new medium, you get a piece of artwork unlike anything you’ve seen before,” he said. “The detail and rich colors are intense. It’s the difference between a high definition TV and a standard TV.” Leaser launched his “Tulipmania” series earlier this year at New York’s premier Architectural Digest Show, where the collection on display sold out in 48 hours. “Tulipmania” series features exotic tulips, including heirlooms grown from bulbs collected 500 years ago during the tulip craze in Holland. Several images, with their distinctive blood-red flames, are similar to Semper Augustus, once the world’s most sought-after flower. At its peak, Semper Augustus was worth the price of a city block of houses in 1600s Holland, sparking the world’s first economic bubble which burst when prices became overinflated and dramatically fell. “Tulipmania” makes its California debut at Art San Diego at Balboa Park Activity Center in San Diego. See http://art-sandiego.com/ for details. The Art San Diego Show showcases the best in contemporary art and is committed to promoting San Diego’s art scene.

Grauer School hosts open house Nov. 15 The Grauer School will host an Open House for prospective families from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, on its Encinitas campus. Tours will be conducted every 20 minutes and interested families are encouraged to tour the facilities and meet with faculty, administration, matriculated students, and current Grauer families. “This year, we are continuing to offer an online registration option on our website that allows families to simply check in and queue up for a tour rather than having to wait in line to register the day of the event,” said Sandy Merten, Associate Director of Admissions. “At the Open House, visitors will be guided through the campus by Grauer students and will be introduced to faculty, who will explain our academic and extra-curricular programs, including all-seasons athletics, performing arts, robotics, film, leadership, and community service. Our programs attract families who are looking to balance academic rigor with the personal development of each individual student. We also offer outstanding support for independent athletes who need a customized schedule.” The Grauer School, grades 7-12 college preparatory, is the regional leader in the small schools movement. The Grauer School focuses on college preparatory rigor balanced with expeditionary learning and Socratic teaching. As a small school by design, with approximately 150 students, The Grauer School emphasizes relationship-based teaching that stems from its small class sizes with a student-to-teacher ratio of 7 to 1. Admissions applications are due Jan. 30. To learn more about Admissions Timeline and The Grauer School experience, visit www.grauerschool.com or call 760-274-2116.

Mossy Nissan Oceanside donates repairs, labor to Oceanside Fire Department Mossy Nissan in Oceanside recently gave back to the Oceanside Fire Department by donating more than $4,000 in parts and labor to upgrade the Fire Department’s Community Events Trailer. The Oceanside Fire Department Event Trailer is used to support local events in Oceanside, such as fire safety events, CPR courses and feeding the homeless. “When we visited the Oceanside Fire Department to discuss attending our Kids Safe Zone Event, we realized their community outreach trailer was in need of some serious TLC,” said Mossy Nissan Oceanside General Manager Matt Seamark. “The trailer was in desperate need of dent, rust and hole repairs. We knew the Oceanside Fire Department used this trailer frequently to host and support events in the community. We wanted to give the fire department an upgraded trailer that was safe and matched their fire trucks when transporting to each event.” Mossy Nissan Oceanside got to work and made the repairs, as well as giving the trailer a new paint job and lettering. Mossy Nissan Oceanside and Oceanside City officials presented the upgraded trailer to the Fire Department on Oct. 31 at Mossy Nissan Oceanside. Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood and Deputy Mayor Esther Sanchez were also present. Besides donating the repaired and upgraded Fire Department Trailer, Mossy Nissan Oceanside hosted a kid-safe afternoon of trick-or-treating on Oct. 31. All kids and family members enjoyed plenty of fun-filled activities, including jump houses. The Oceanside Fire Department was on site with its fire truck ,passing out candy and Jr. Firefighter hats to kids. Mossy Nissan Oceanside is one of seven Mossy Nissan dealerships in San Diego County. Mossy Nissan Oceanside has been serving the San Diego community since 1999, offering quality used cars, new vehicles, superior service and parts. Visit www.mossynissan.com.
SMITH continued from page B4 gomery and Supervisor Bill Horn’s Chief of Staff Dustin Steiner. Bill Hinchy and Bill Beckman, former Association board presidents, presented Pete Smith with a hand-crafted box donated by Bill Beckman and inscribed with this sentiment: “In Grateful Recognition to Pete Smith For Your 23 Years of Service to the Rancho Santa Fe Association As Manager of the Rancho Santa Fe Association you have created and led an outstanding staff. Your professionalism, dedication, and personal touch will be greatly missed. We thank you for being such an extraordinary friend to our community. Best wishes on your retirement. From the Many Friends and Fans of Pete Smith
November 1, 2014” The program was highlighted by a song “A Not so Unusual Day” emphasizing the many hats Pete has worn around town as he interacted with the various RSF clubs and organizations during his tenure and ended with the words “for your very engaging, 23 years of hectic and tiring, always inspiring, not so unusual day!” written by Marie Addario, former Association board president, accompanied by Jeff Brown, and performed by the ladies of the planning committee — all former RSF Association board and committee officers: Deb Plummer, Anne Feighner, Midgie VandenBerg, Kathy Stumm, Patty Queen, Franci Free, Roxana Foxx, Suzie Schaefer and Candace Humber. The planning committee also included former board presidents Bill Beckman, Bill Hinchy, Jim Ashcraft and former Golf Club president Vearl Smith. In keeping with the his-
toric community’s ranchero theme, a delicious Mexican buffet was served and colorful arrangements of fall flowers by Franci Free with colorful scarves decorated the tables. A Mariachi band provided by Anne Feighner McCarthy roused the crowd. Smith thanked all present for making his career in the Ranch a beautiful memory and hinted of his professional plans for the future. He then thanked his family and especially his wife Deb and presented her with a bouquet of fall flowers. Someone said upon departing, “It was just a great feeling to be able to honor Pete, in the way he should be honored for his dedication and service to our community, and a reminder how many of us are committed to keeping the congeniality and fellowship alive, well and living in the covenant.” Photos by Jon Clark and McKenzie Images
