Farmers market may be coming to RSF Village Association to seek community input on proposal before giving green light
$150 annual charge applies to homeowners in rural areas BY JOE TASH Local residents are beginning to receive bills from the state Board of Equalization for a controversial new $150 annual fee that targets homeowners in rural areas of California, resulting in complaints to government and community organizations. Most of the homes in the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, with the exception of 4S Ranch and part of the Santa Fe Valley, lie within the State Responsibility Area, or SRA, and thus are subject to the new fee, said district Fire Chief Tony Michel. The district includes Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and surrounding communities, including the Crosby, Cielo and the Bridges. Residents of incorporated cities are not covered by the new state fire fee. Both the district and the county Board of Supervisors have voted to oppose the fee, which was approved by the state Legislature in 2011 and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. In October, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association filed a class-action lawsuit to block the fee on behalf of state residents. The $150 fee will be charged for each “habitable structure” within the State Responsibility Area, although residents of local fire protection districts such

BY KAREN BILLING Could fresh produce be hitting the Rancho Santa Fe village with a new Saturday morning farmers market? The Rancho Santa Fe Association is considering a proposal to bring in a weekly market and hopefully more bustling weekend business to village merchants. Organizers told the Association on Nov. 1 that San Diego County would be willing to approve the farmers market as long as it received approval from the RSF Association board. The RSF Association would like to hear what the public thinks of the idea before approving it and hopes to have it as an action item on an agenda in the coming

weeks. RSF Association board director Eamon Callahan said that the initiative started about nine months ago, with local village merchants meeting to discuss how they might better market the village and drive in more customers. Callahan said at first the group was very contentious, complaining mostly about parking, but they all seemed to come together around the idea of a farmers market. Callahan said local resident Janet Christ has taken the lead and several meetings have been held to decide what streets to hold it on and work out issues with See MARKET, page 26

New EMS contract could impact RSF ambulance service BY CLAIRE HARLIN Having emergency ambulance service is a standard of living that many may pay little attention to unless it’s not up to par, and in the case of County Service Area 17 (CSA 17), which includes Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Encinitas, 10-minute response time standards have been consistently met with shining colors over the years and residents have been content. But just as you may not have
been aware you were part of a special emergency medical service (EMS) district, you may not know that the county actually outsources EMS, just as is does with many other services, and counties nationwide are increasingly contracting with third-party providers to avoid high pension costs and other expenses. Rural Metro Corporation has provided EMS to both CSA 17 and the City of San Diego for 12 years, however, that could change
next spring, as the county is currently re-contracting for EMS service — and a change in provider could greatly impact CSA 17, whose cities have very different demographics and needs. “Right now we have great service,” said Barbara Cerny, who sits on the CSA 17 Advisory Committee as part of the Torrey Pines Community Planning Group. “What worries me, though, is that the county may go with the lowest bid and if
that means contracting with a new EMS provider, it may compromise service.” Cerny also said that a change in EMS provider means all the employees have to go from one company to another — that is, if they keep their jobs. As a former, decades-long fire department employee, Cerny understands the workings of CSA 17, which was formed by the Board of See EMS, page 26

Buzz: New playground, other updates Motorist who struck and killed BY ROXANA FOXX, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD PRESIDENT On S a t u r d a y, Nov. 3, our community Roxana Foxx came together to install the new play equipment at the soccer fields. Thanks to the efforts and persistence of Heather Slosar and the Trails and Recreation Committee, the children’s play area is now becoming a reality. Armed with ladders, drills and barbecues, about 12 members of the community and Association staff worked for the better part of the day to install the equipment. The actual Grand Opening for the equipment will be on Saturday, Nov. 17, at 9 a.m. The plan is to have the community children form a “bucket brigade� to spread the ground bark around the play area. That should take a good part of the day and could prove to be more fun for the children than actually using the play equipment. FIRE PREVENTION UPDATE: To supplement
the excellent work of our Fire Department, and with oversight from our Committee on the Natural Environment, the Association has begun work on the first phase of addressing the fire hazard created by dead and dying trees and dry brush. The initial work of removing dead vegetation from the roadways has been completed on La Noria and La Fremontia and will continue next week on sections of Via de la Valle. Thanks to special funding from our Community Services District, we will begin work on the removal of dead trees along Linea del Cielo next month. This is all part of what has become an ongoing effort to enhance the fire safety in our community. On another community enhancement note, the County will be resurfacing additional Covenant roads in the next few weeks. The roadwork will include Via de la Valle from Via de Santa Fe to Paseo Delicias, as well as Lago Lindo from Avenida de Acacias to Via de la Cumbre. Finally, in keeping with my commitment to highlight benefits available to Covenant members, I want to remind you about the option to pur-

chase a Limited Playing Privilege at the Golf Club. The opportunity to play golf at the club is open only to Covenant residents, and there are a couple of ways you may exercise that right. Members who want to play golf on a regular basis pay the enrollment fee and annual dues for full membership privileges and unlimited play. But an additional option is to purchase a Limited Playing Privilege. With this option, the enrollment fee and annual dues are waived, but your play is limited to six or 12 rounds per year. This playing option is popular during the holidays when friends and family are visiting. So if that new sonin-law or new daughter-inlaw is an avid golfer, this just might be the enticement needed to make RSF the place to visit during the holidays. The Limited Playing Privilege is also an excellent option for Covenant members who are considering joining the club as full members but want to test drive the course first. Give the Golf Shop (756-3094) or Jill at the Association office (746-1174) a call if you have any questions about the program.
bicyclist pleads guilty to hit and run BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A motorist who struck a bicyclist and left him to die along a Rancho Santa Fe Road pleaded guilty Nov. 1 to a felony charge of hit-and-run causing death. Jin Hyuk Byun, 19, faces probation on the low end and four years in prison on the high end of the sentencing scale when he returns to the Vista courthouse on Jan. 3. According to court testimony, Byun was behind the wheel of a black 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche that struck 18-year-old Angel Bojorquez, a grocery clerk at an Albertsons supermarket in Del Mar, sometime after 1 a.m. on July 6. Police and California Highway Patrol officers testified at a preliminary hearing last month that Byun was sweating when authorities showed up at his home to question him about the damaged SUV. Bojorquez, who lived in Escondido with an older brother and his aunt and uncle, was found dead in shrubs along a curvy section of Via De La Valle. He was riding without a light on his bicycle when he was struck, according to authorities. Deputy District Attorney Aimee McLeod said Byun knew that he had run into a person, noting “the amount of distance on that roadway that he would have been able to see a person in a reflective vest, that the location that the body struck the hood of the truck up above the headlight assembly, the fact that he pulled over to an area where no one would be able to see him, that he removed the tire, then drove home for five miles and hid the vehicle inside the garage. “Those are the reasons he knew he hit a person and failed to stop or do anything’’ she said after the hearing. Steve Bojorquez said he and his brother worked at the same store and often rode to work together. That Friday, however, Angel rode to work by himself. He had only ridden the 20 miles or so from work to home a few times, his sibling said. The victim was riding north near Paseo Delicias when a dark-colored SUV drifted onto the shoulder and struck him, according to CHP Officer Chris Parent. When questioned about damage to his SUV, Byun told investigators his Avalanche was garaged and had not been driven recently because of electrical problems, according to the CHP. CHP Officer Steven Jio testified that Byun started sobbing when he was questioned and eventually told the arresting officer what happened. “He thought he struck a mailbox, maybe a deer, maybe a dog, he wasn’t sure,’’ Jio testified. Jio said the Byun told him he reached to adjust the radio, heard a loud “clink� and noticed he had a flat tire.

‘First-cut’ in possible county-22nd DAA Two repaving projects to begin in RSF this month partnership expected in January BY JOE TASH County supervisors unanimously agreed Oct. 31 to study the possibility of the county taking on a leadership role at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, but no one knows yet what such a partnership might look like, or the financial impacts of a new model for running the state-owned property. Details should become clearer over the next few months, as county staff and elected officials talk to a variety of people around the county with an interest in the fairgrounds, and also examine the facility’s books to determine its financial health. In their 5-0 motion, supervisors directed the county’s chief administrative officer to study a potential partnership between the county and the 22nd District Agricultural Association — the entity that now runs the fairgrounds for the state — to share operational oversight of the 340-acre property at the mouth of the San Dieguito River. Along with the San Diego County Fair and an annual horse racing meet, the fairgrounds hosts hundreds of events each year from weddings to roller derby matches to home and garden shows. Supervisor Ron Roberts, who brought the issue before the board with Supervisor Greg Cox, said he expects a report to come back to the board in January, but even then it will not likely be a final agreement, but a “first cut” in examining the issues of a county-22nd DAA partnership. “Let’s make sure there’s not a poison pill to prevent us from getting deeper in the discussions,” Roberts said. One key concern is whether the county would be taking on any financial liabilities, such as unpaid bills, through an agreement
with the fairgrounds, Roberts said. His concern was echoed by other supervisors at last week’s meeting. But the board did seem supportive of the general idea of the county joining forces with the fairgrounds. “I’m cautiously optimistic about this proposal. In my opinion, it could be very helpful to the 22nd DAA and operations there to have some county guidance,” said Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, whose 3rd District includes the fairgrounds. “I just think we ought to be a part of it. We ought to have a voice there,” said Supervisor Bill Horn. Adam Day, president of the 22nd DAA board, initiated the discussion in an Oct. 12 letter to Roberts. “As you may know Governor Brown is encouraging state District Agricultural Associations to explore options for governance changes with the goal of bringing the oversight of DAA’s to a local level and providing more transparency and involvement to the communities they serve,” Day wrote. In an interview, Day said he has been in discussions with the governor’s office for the past several months about such a partnership. Various models have been considered, but he said it would be premature to discuss them publicly. However, he said the goals of a county22nd DAA partnership would include more local control of the fairgrounds, increased transparency in its operations, protection of workers at the fairgrounds, who are state employees, and flexibility and freedom from state bureaucracy and red tape. Currently, the 22nd DAA board is appointed by the See PARTNERSHIP, page 24
Rancho Santa Fe residents can expect slow downs on some local streets as construction will kick off on road repaving in the coming weeks. At the Nov. 1 RSF Association meeting, Assistant Manager Ivan Holler reported the dates received from the county for two repaving projects: •Nov. 9-16: Via de la Valle, from Paseo Delicias to Via de Santa Fe •Nov. 15-19: Lago Linda, between Avenida de Acacias and Via De La Cumbre
Another mountain lion spotted in RSF A mountain lion was sighted on Nov. 3 at approximately 8:45 p.m., in the side yard of a residence located in the 4700 block of El Mirar in Rancho Santa Fe. The animal was not aggressive and was traveling north through the property towards El Mirar. The Department of Fish and Game and the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department were notified (DFG reference number 212349338). Rancho Santa Fe is home to many species of animals, including coyotes, bobcat and mountain lions, according to RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser. “These animals are native to the area and can be attracted around homes by leaving pet food out, the presence of small pets, etc. State Fish and Game warn people to not leave food or pets outside and keep a close eye on small children, especially during early morning or late afternoon times,” Wellhouser said. “In addition, do not jog, bike or hike alone; do not approach a coyote, bobcat, or mountain lion. Sometimes the attraction of smaller wild animals attracts the bigger animals as well. “These animals are most active at dawn, dusk and at night. Often deer are attracted to the area because of food sources, same
with opossums, raccoons, and other prey. These animals are often prey for larger animals.” In the past, neighboring communities have had sightings as well. Mountain lions usually avoid humans; they are quiet, solitary and elusive. They can have a range of 200 miles. Please take precautions to avoid coming in contact with these animals, Wellhouser said. Below are referral numbers you can call for more information. Refer to the websites below. If you see a mountain lion or experience an attack, contact the numbers below. Fish and game would like to know of sightings to track the activity. •San Diego County Wildlife Services 1-800-486-0010 •California Fish and Game - San Diego office 858-467-4201 http://www.keepmewild.org/ http://www.co.san-diego.ca.us/awm/ wildlife_services.html •Patrol Dispatch 858-756-4372 Rancho Santa Fe Patrol PO Box A 16936 El Fuego Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067

Mystical relationship between horse and human highlights ‘Valitar’ Show opens Nov. 16 at the DM Fairgrounds BY KELLEY CARLSON As a story of power and love told through the voice of the horse, the new “Valitar” show speaks volumes. Staged in a 45,000-square-foot big-top tent at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the production begins with imagery on a large screen that represents today’s world — fast city life, texting and cell phones — which transitions to a sky with pollution and a river filled with garbage. Then, a dramatic blackout ... followed by visions representing the elements of earth, wind, fire and water and the introduction of the stars of the show, the equines. “Valitar” — derived from the Latin word Validus, meaning strong, mighty and powerful — demonstrates the mystical relationship between horse and human in a 90-minute performance, beginning Nov. 16 and continuing through New Year’s Eve. About 50 equines of a dozen breeds and 25 performers partner for the energetic and dramatic presenta-

The crowd can expect to see bareback riding; “liberty” acts, in which horses are free of tack such as saddles and bridles; mountain boarders; acrobats and aerialists; contortionists; vaulting; and trick riders. “(‘Valitar’ is) the expression of how we all (horses and humans) interact,” said Tamara Hemmerly, director of marketing and publicist for the Solana Beach-based
production company Equustria Development Inc., in an interview. With all of its area connections, it’s natural that Del Mar was chosen as the location to debut the show. “We are honored to be launching the world premiere of Valitar in San Diego this November at the Del Mar Fairgrounds,” said Rancho Santa Fe resident and Equustria President Mark Remley in a news release. “As a locally based compa-

Local student wins world title in horse riding BY CLAIRE HARLIN Shannon McTaggart, 13, discovered her passion for horse riding three years ago, and she has already achieved world status in the sport. The Santa Fe Christian seventh-grader won both world and national titles in the Junior Classic Saddle Seat Equitation class at the Morgan Grand National and World Championship in Oklahoma City, which took place from Oct. 6-13. She competed against 12 other riders in her class, who qualified in youth shows from their hometowns all over the nation. “It’s super exciting,” said Karla McTaggart, Shannon’s mother. “It’s a lot of money and effort. We were there nine days and had to haul the horse out there. To put all your time and effort into this and then actually win — we were just overwhelmed.” Shannon has always said she wanted to ride a horse, Karla said, but she was a gymnast practicing three days a week and didn’t have time. When a friend invited her to a horse riding camp, Karla said “that was the end of the story” — or perhaps the beginning. She began taking classes several times a week with Anne Speck, a world-renowned trainer of decades, and her teenage life became very hectic. “Shannon had to choose between horse riding and gymnastics and she decided she wanted to ride horses,” Karla said. “She just loves it.” Karla and her husband also bought Shannon her horse, named Stonecroft Make A Wish, two years ago for Christmas. The horse, which Shannon calls “Wish,” accompanied her in the spotlight during the event, and especially on the last day of the competition, when Shannon made her victory pass around the arena decorated in ribbons. “It was such a neat moment,” said Karla, “It meant a lot to her, but she’s so humble. As her trainer says, she can go out there and get first place and be happy and she can go out there and get last place and still be happy.” Shannon is the granddaughter of Jerry McTaggart of Rancho Santa Fe.
R. Roger Rowe School kicks off its Community Service Learning Program ‘Acts of Kindness’ R. Roger Rowe School, assisted by Student Council Officers, kicked off its Community Service Learning (CSL) Acts of Kindness program by launching “Rachel’s Challenge Week.” Rachel Joy Scott was the first person killed in the Columbine High School tragedy on April 20, 1999. Immediately after the tragedy, her father Darrell began to speak and use writings and drawings from Rachel’s diaries to illustrate the need for a kinder, more compassionate nation. Today, Darrell and over 30 presenters honor Rachel’s life by reaching the nation with Rachel’s simple but profound message. Last year, the school began its Rachel’s Challenge partnership with an initial presentation by the Rachel’s Challenge Team. This inspirational message and the need to help out students become aware of the world around them, led to the development of an entirely new Community Service Learning Program. According to Assistant Principal Paul Coco, in charge of leading
this program, Rachel’s Challenge Week incorporated age-appropriate student assemblies, special student activities, and a kickoff for school-wide acts of kindness, “We wanted to reinforce and demonstrate how one simple act of kindness can contribute to a ‘chain reaction’ of random acts of kindness throughout the campus and community,” Coco said. Throughout the year, students will receive chain links for their acts of kindness. By the end of the school year, students earn enough links to create a long chain. This chain will serve to symbolize students’ ongoing commitment to treat others with kindness and uphold our Mission, Vision, and Values of being a Caring Community, according to Superintendent Lindy Delaney.

They also won the Chocolate Bowl hosted by Murrietta Hot Springs Pop Warner, and defeated the Hawthorn Falcons from Los Angeles in an exhibition game held at Torrey Pines High School on Nov. 3.

Local high school teams win a variety of sports events BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: Torrey Pines didn’t know if it would make the playoffs going into its regular season finale against a heavily favored La Costa Canyon team. The Falcons (in photo at right) emerged from what might have been a win-or-go-home game with new life. A stunning 24-17 upset victory over LCC in a nonleague game on Nov. 2 helped the Falcons secure a San Diego Section Division I playoff berth, and sent them into the postseason with the wind at Photo/Anna Scipione their back. The Falcons, who improved to 5-5 overall for the season, hope to carry that momentum into their first round playoff game against Escondido (5-5). The Falcons are scheduled to play at Escondido on Friday (Nov. 9) at 7 p.m. In the LCC game, Chase Pickwell scored on a run from the 1-yard line midway through the fourth quarter to break a 17-17 deadlock. Pickwell rushed for 118 yards on 26 carries to lead the Falcons. Mark Detrow contributed 39 rushing yards on six carries. Falcons quarterback Mike Ward completed five of six pass attempts for 41 yards including a scoring pass to Jack Bailey. Bailey caught four passes for 38 yards. The Falcons broke a scoreless deadlock midway through the second quarter when Collin Brown kicked a 25-yard field goal. Then after LCC tied the game, Ward connected with a 12-yard scoring pass to Bailey that sent the Falcons into the intermission with a 10-3 lead. ***** In a final tuning for the playoffs, Cathedral Catholic trounced Serra 55-7 in a nonleague game on Nov. 2. The Dons, who’ve won five consecutive San Diego Section titles, were awarded the No. 2 seed and have a first-round bye in the Division III playoffs. They will play on Nov. 16 against the winner of a first round game between Monte Vista and Serra (scheduled for Nov. 9). Josh Gizzi rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Dons, and Tony Johnson rushed for 96 yards and three touchdowns. The Dons took a quick lead when Connor Larkin returned an interception 20 yards for a touchdown on Serra’s first possession that set the tone for the win. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 8-2. ***** Santa Fe Christian concluded its regular season on a winning note with a fourth quarter outburst that propelled the Eagles to a 35-17 Coastal League victory over Francis Parker
Canyon Crest Academy’s Boys Water Polo team finished its 2012 Palomar League season with a three-way win over Poway High School on Oct. 31. Junior Varsity played first, with a solid 8-4 victory. Next played Varsity, which rallied in the second half to finish the Titans 15-13. Finally, CCA’s Novice team played the final game of the afternoon, breaking a 0-0 tie in the third quarter, then clinching the win 2-1 in the final 22 seconds of the game. Before the game, Raven seniors Casey Crocamo, Jerry Guess, John Guess, Alden Houzouri, Marcus McCloskey, Eric Schade, and Martin Vicario were honored at a team-building luncheon. After the game, the celebration continued. “This win is going to help our seeding for CIF,” said Head Coach Zach Wordes, who complimented the boys on great teamwork. on Nov. 2. The Eagles trailed 17-14 early in the fourth quarter before closing the game out with three unanswered touchdowns. Conor Keith rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Eagles comeback. Keith scored on a 70-yard run with less than 10 minutes left in the game to give the Eagles a 21-14 lead. Keith’s 35-yard run in the closing minutes gave the Eagles a comfortable 28-14 lead. Jake Bailey scored on a 50-yard interception return on Parker’s next possession to put the game out of reach. The victory concluded a perfect 5-0 league championship run and gives the Eagles momentum going into the San Diego Section playoffs. The Eagles were awarded the No. 1 seed in the Division V playoffs. They will play in the quarterfinals on Nov. 16 against the winner of a first round game between Tri-City Christian and Mountain Empire (scheduled for Nov. 9). Golf: Torrey Pines took another step towards what would be an unheard of third straight state championship. The two-time defending state champions breezed to a San Diego Section Championship at the two-day meet that concluded on Nov. 1. The Falcons shot a combined 750 on the 18-hold par-72 course at Coronado Golf Course to finish 52 strokes ahead of Rancho Bernardo, which placed second. Falcons standout Sandy Choi shot a combined 142 score to take first place individually. Minjia Luo was four-over par for the tournament to finish tied for ffith. The Falcons advanced to the Southern California Championships, a qualifying meet for teams and individuals that will be held on Nov. 8 at the Golf Club at Rancho in Murrieta. The state championships will be held on Nov. 13 at Red Hill Country Club in Rancho Cucamonga. Field hockey: Canyon Crest Academy bounced back from its first loss of the season with two decisive wins. The Ravens were coming off a 1-0 Palomar League loss to Poway when they defeated Rancho Bernardo 8-1 on Oct. 30. They went on to defeat Torrey Pines 3-0 two days later. Katie Carlson scored three goals and had one assist and Gabrielle De Petro added two goals and one assist to lead the Ravens. Ravens goalie Clara Belitz had two saves. Carlson and De Petro each scored one goal and had one assist to lead the Ravens in the Torrey Pines game. Haley Schroeder added one goal Belitz had three saves. The Ravens improved to 8-1 in league and 22-1 overall for the season. Water polo The Torrey Pines water polo teams completed a pool sweep last week with the varsity, junior varsity and novice squads all winning the Palomar League Championships. The varsity took the Palomar championship with a 9-6 win over Westview on Nov. 1. The varsity team was undefeated this year in league play. The junior varsity won their league championship, also with a 9-6 victory. The novice team went undefeated all season and won 10-2. Tennis Torrey Pines girls tennis team won their 23rd consecutive CIF Tennis Championship. The victory came under first-year coach Chris Numbers. Mariann Bukich finished first in the league, Kelsey Chen finished third and the doubles pair of Agostina Waisfeld and Sara Kikivas finished fourth. — Karen Billing contributed to this report.

RSF Golf Club offers a variety of new dining options, upcoming family-friendly holiday events •C lub dining open to all RSF Association members BY KAREN BILLING Ever since Al Castro took over as general manager of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club on May 1, he’s set his focus on bringing more RSF Association members and their families in to enjoy the club. Not just the golfers. “I saw a need for us to do more family-friendly events,” Castro said. “One of the things I heard over and over was that so many homeowners were not aware that they have access to the club.” He hopes that the Golf Club will be able to draw more people in with new offerings at its Osuna Grill restaurant and a fun new lineup of events. Evidence that the family-friendly changes have been well received was seen at two recent events. For Rancho Days, they had a successful hoedown with all kinds of activities for the kids, hayrides and dancing. Last week for the first time they held a Halloween party for parents and children, complete with a costume contest, pumpkin carving, dancing and food. “It was a huge hit,” Castro said. “Not only were the little ones dressed up but grown-ups were too. Everyone had a blast.” During the party, the Osuna Grill still served the regular dinner menu so there was still something for everyone. Upcoming events hope to get Association members in the festive holiday spirit and hopefully start new family traditions. On Sunday, Dec. 2, the golf club will host a tree lighting in front of the club. The complimentary event will begin at 4:30 p.m. with hot chocolate, cookies and carolers. Also for the first time the club is offering a Christmas dinner on Sunday, Dec. 9, featuring a full dinner menu as well as a performance from the All-American Boys Chorus. The All-American Boys Chorus is a professional, touring group comprised of about 100 boys ages 8-15 based in Costa Mesa. “This will be a wonderful, wonderful Christmas program and reservations are strongly encouraged, we’re about halfway booked,” Castro said. Lastly for the holidays, the Golf Club will host Santa Claus on Sunday, Dec. 16, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Santa will arrive around 11 a.m. and the event will feature various children’s activities and games, as well as a brunch. Castro is very excited about the new hours and offerings at the Osuna Grill restaurant, especially as they are in
makes for a nice, relaxing dinner out with family and friends, Castro said. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings feature a happy hour from 4:30-7 p.m., with specialty pricing on wine, craft beer and cocktails, as well as live music on Wednesdays. “We get a lot of office people from the village who come and enjoy a cocktail after work and relax,” said Castro, noting that the bar is a great place to unwind with a view of the sun setting over the scenic golf course just outside. Yappy-hour events were started this year with a social happy hour for people and their pets. The three events the club hosted were very successful with treats for the pups and cocktails for the owners. As the colder season begins, the Yappy-hours are expected to return in January.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Q&A with Imam Taha Hassane, director of the Islamic Center of San Diego BY JOE TASH Recently, after a trailer for an anti-Islamic film called “Innocence of Muslimsâ€? was posted on You Tube, triggering violent protests in the Middle East, 24 religious leaders in San Diego County issued a joint statement condemning both the film and the ensuing violence. “Ironically, those who created the film and those who killed and harmed innocents seem to have much in common. Specifically, they neither accept responsibility nor Imam Taha Hassane do they respect the dignity of other human beings,â€? read the statement in part, which was signed by Christian, Muslim and Jewish clergy members. One of the signers was Imam Taha Hassane, a native of Algeria who serves as Imam and director of the Islamic Center of San Diego. Hassane also leads Friday services and lectures at the Muslim Community Center in Santaluz, which serves some 500 members, most of whom live in Rancho Santa Fe, Santaluz, Rancho PeĂąasquitos, Rancho Bernardo, Mira Mesa and other North County communities. Before immigrating to the United States with his family in 2001, Hassane taught high school for 10 years in Algeria, where his mother and many other relatives also were teachers. Hassane earned a bachelor’s degree in Islamic studies from the University of Algiers and a master of theology in Islamic studies from the Graduate Theological Foundation in South Bend, Indiana. Hassane is married and has four daughters, and his family moved to San Diego in 2004. Recently, this newspaper sat down with Hassane to discuss a variety of issues, including his reaction, and that of his fellow American Muslims, to the release of the film, the tensions of free speech vs. religious tolerance, treatment of women in Islam, and Hassane’s upcoming hajj, or pilgrimage, to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Following is that conversation in a Q&A format, edited for brevity. Q. What was your reaction to the film? A. The film itself was offending to Muslims all over the world. Portraying our Prophet, peace be upon him, in that way is not acceptable. It’s something that hurt all Muslims around the world. At the same time, I don’t see this offense to Muslims as justification or excuse for the violence that occurred right after that. I don’t believe the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, in Libya, was because of the film. I believe it was in re-
taliation from a group affiliated with Al Qaeda after the killing of one of their leaders. It had more to do with the 11th anniversary of 9-11. As we have seen in the media, the overwhelming majority of Libyans rejected that act and considered it an act of terror, and they asked law enforcement and their own government to go after those who committed this crime and bring them to justice. I believe as a Muslim the way people demonstrated and associated violence with those demonstrations (in such countries as Yemen, Sudan, Pakistan and Egypt) was not appropriate at all. It was against the teachings of Islam and against the character of the Prophet himself. Q. How do American Muslims reconcile freedom of speech vs. provocations such as the recent film that are insulting to Muslims? A. Maybe American Muslims are the best people to understand this concept of freedom of speech in the West and in the U.S. in particular. Muslims around the world, especially in the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia, it’s hard for them to understand the concept of freedom of speech because of the political regimes they have been living in their entire lives. In Islam, freedom of speech is considered very essential to the development of society and culture and civilization. We have to re-define and distinguish the line between free speech and responsible speech. In American culture we understand someone cannot scream in a theater, Fire, Fire! This person will be held accountable for every harm that might be caused to people or property. I look at this film the same way. I don’t believe freedom of speech is a license or a blank check given to people to say whatever they want even though their speech will cause deep and profound harm to other people. Especially when this freedom of speech defames or insults sacred beliefs and sacred objects and figures of different faiths. I think the problem in the world, especially the Western world, is the double standard. If something defames Islam and Muslims, it’s freedom of speech. It’s tolerable. But if you talk about other sensitive issues, for example, if you criticize Israeli politics or the Israeli government or you say something about the Holocaust or something like this, it’s not freedom of speech any more. Q. Over the past 25 years, on a number of occasions, portrayals of Islam or the Prophet Muhammad have resulted in violent protests. These have included Salman Rushdie’s book, “The Satanic Verses,� cartoons published in a Danish newspaper and the recent film. Undoubtedly there will be others. How can such violence be avoided in
the future? A. I addressed this question in the last sermon I gave on Friday. I said it’s not the first, it’s not going to be the last. What are we going to do? Do we have a strategy, have we bothered ourselves and thought about the right way to respond to this kind of stuff? Unfortunately, I don’t think so. I believe Muslims should develop a better way to counter this kind of stuff and when I say counter, stop reacting and being pro-active. For Muslims, especially in the West and North America, have to do serious efforts to reach out to the larger society and tell their story. We have a wonderful, non-told story‌ of who we are and what our faith is about.� All minorities went through a lot of hard times in this country. With continued work and effort to educate and reach out they achieved their goals and they became a very important part of this nation. We have to do the same. Now, especially after the tragedy of 9-11, it’s our turn as Muslim Americans to go through the same path as all the minorities, religious or ethnic. We have to work hard and struggle, it takes time. But I’m very optimistic and hopeful that one day, all what’s happening now becomes part of the history.� Q. Americans see that in some Muslim countries, women and girls are denied rights that men have, such as going to school, holding a job or even driving a car. How do American Muslims feel about this issue? A. We have to make a difference between the teachings of Islam regarding women, and the practices that exist in some Middle Eastern communities and societies. When you see in some communities in the Middle East or Southeast Asia, Muslim women are deprived from seeking knowledge, this is totally against the teachings of the Prophet himself, where he made seeking knowledge mandatory for Muslim men and women, and his own wife, Aisha, was a religious scholar. What we are hearing and seeing in the media about the very bad treatment of women, this is not because of the teachings of Islam, but this is because of running away from or negating or ignoring the teachings of Islam. I know for a fact that Muslim scholars, moderate scholars all over the world, have been speaking against this treatment and this mentality and they are still doing it. Q. I understand you are about to leave for the hajj, or pilgrimage, to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia, that this is your fourth time on the hajj, and you will be leading a group of American Muslims. Can you tell us about it? See DIRECTOR, page 26

RSF physician puts the ‘family’ back in ‘family doctor’ BY CLAIRE HARLIN Going through some boxes recently, Dr. Donald Brandon found an old paper from the sixth grade in which he wrote that he wanted to be a doctor when he grows up. The decades-old relic didn’t come as a surprise, however, it was a reminder that he’s doing exactly what he’s meant for. “When I was very young I wanted to be a football player and a pilot, and at some point I decided I wanted to be a doctor and I stayed fixated on that course and never strayed. In school, I was pre-med from day one,” said Brandon, who in March started a personal physician practice in Rancho Santa Fe, an effort to bring more inter-personal care to patients amid a rapidly changing healthcare climate. Brandon grew up in a medical family. He’s been a doctor for 20 years, and some of his first impressions of the field came from watching his favorite show, “Marcus Welby, M.D.,” a 1970s TV medical drama about a much-loved family doctor with a kind bedside manner. His dad also had a family practice in San Diego for decades, where Brandon ended up working alongside him for many years. “The show reminded me so much of the atmosphere I was growing up in,” said Brandon, a father of four boys and a sports aficionado. “My dad was everyone’s doctor and patients were like family. That’s what being a doctor is all about.” Brandon’s new practice is a reflection of his desire to return to the traditional values of offering warm, individualized care — of being both a doctor and a member of the family. Instead of taking care of several thousand pa-
tients, as many doctors do, Brandon’s practice is limited to only 100 to 150 patients and he offers constant oversight. “I get to know my patients,” he said. “Instead of just looking at a patients’ charts when they come in with a problem, I’m looking at their charts regularly and contacting them every month or two. I’m always looking for new ways to better treat them, and if something comes up I contact them.” Over the past few decades, doctors have increasingly become conduits of regulation, Brandon said, meaning that insurance companies essentially decide what doctors can and can’t do. With recent governmental changes to the healthcare system, Brandon added, that interference has accelerated. “We’re handcuffed,” he said. “You can have the best doctor in the world and still that doctor is controlled by a third party.” That’s why Brandon said there is a growing need for the healthcare model he offers — one that operates free of insurance and Medicare. That doesn’t mean patients can’t have insurance for major emergencies, hospitalization and expensive tests — and Brandon’s got a team of insurance consultants that can help patients get on the right plan for them — but when it comes to their primary and preventative care, there’s no regulation. “I am not regulated by anyone but the patient,” Brandon said. In a regimented system, there are certain protocols that must be taken, regardless of the doctor’s orders. For example, an insurance company may only allow treatment with specified medications, and even if a certain medication is not the doctor’s choice, he or
“My dad was everyone’s doctor and patients were like family. That’s what being a doctor is all about.”
DR. DONALD BRANDON
Dr. Donald Brandon in March started his personal physician practice, a “family doctor meets concierge physician” model. PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN she must administer it first as a trial and show proof of adverse effects before using an alternative medication. A doctor, may apply for an exception, however, the paperwork process can delay treatment and the insurance company still may not grant the exception, he said. “In this practice, I can just give the patient whatever medication I think is best,” he said. Another motive for bypassing the insurance system is patient privacy. Brandon said the electronic medical records system has become a regulatory tool used by insurance companies, which can gain access to records at any time. “I think that’s an intrusion into the patient’s privacy,” said Brandon, who keeps his electronic records with him at all times on a portable drive. “The insurance companies aren’t looking at records to help patients; They are saying, ‘Let’s see where we can bump their premium up or ration something.’” Brandon refers his patients, when need-
ed, to specialists he has known for decades working as a doctor in San Diego — specialists he said he uses himself. “I recently referred one of my patients who is having a baby to the obstetrician who delivered my four sons,” Brandon said. In the case of hospitalization, Brandon follows the patient all the way through the process as a supervising physician at the hospital, working on a team with the hospital physician and being involved in all the discussions on protocol. “In most practices the physician doesn’t go through hospitalization with the patient and that actually gives relief to primary care doctors that have many, many patients,” said Brandon. “The problem with that, though, is that the continuity of care gets broken.” For more information, email inquiries@ altormedicus.com or call (858) 756-4749. Brandon’s practice is located at the Fairbanks Village Plaza, 16236 San Dieguito Road, Suite 22, Bldg. 5, second floor, 92067.

VALITAR continued from page 4 grew up riding in all types of disciplines, from dressage to barrel racing, were inspired to create their own production after attending some shows in Las Vegas. Combining their passion for horses with the entertainment concept, the Remleys began assembling a team that included riders and “horse whisperers,” and of course, the equines. Special consideration was taken when matching horses and riders, such as their discipline and personalities, and rehearsals began nine months ago. One of the performers is Sylvia Zerbini, also director of equestrian affairs for “Valitar.” Zerbini, a ninthgeneration performer, orchestrates about 10 horses at once during her “liberty” act, using sounds and hands to control her charges. “Everything is done in as natural a way as possible,” Zerbini said. “Horses ... help us pay attention to life a little more,” she added. “They sense when we’re sad, happy, upset.” Additional key crew members include Artistic Director Bernard Quental, who has performed for Cabaret Equestre, Opera Equestre and Chimére with Zingaro;
Rancho Santa Fe Review and Production Manager Louis Cote, who has more than 25 years of experience with large-scale productions. To enhance the show, “Valitar’s” team worked with Marc and Shanon Parker of Parker Brothers Concepts to include props such as a 9-foot-tall iron horse and a 20-foot-tall trampoline wall that is more than 28 feet long. Each prop is utilized by performers, including contortionists and acrobats. “We were intrigued when we initially got the call from the team at ‘Valitar’ as they described their unusual request for these amazing props,” said Marc Parker, creative director at Melbourna, Fla.-based Parker Brothers Concepts, in a news release. “We typically design motorized concepts that push the creative and technological envelope, and these props do just that. A trampoline wall pulled by horses is definitely not your typical project.” The props and performers are being brought together under the largest aluminum clear span tent in the world. The 225,000-square-foot “Valitar Kingdom” at the fairgrounds also has tents for concessions, warm-up and makeup facilities for the stars, a VIP area and stables, where special attention is given to horses in terms of their diet, grooming, shoeing and comfort.
Seven shows are planned per week, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, and matinee and evening showings on Saturday and Sundays, through New Year’s Eve. There are 14 acts, and each horse is in a maximum of two acts per show. Once “Valitar’s” run is finished at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, it will travel to five cities throughout 2013. According to Hemmerly, there are international plans for 2014. Ticket options for “Valitar” include general admission starting at $39 for children and $65 for adults, as well VIP. The VIP Lounge includes hosted appetizers and cocktails 60 minutes before the show, premier seating, desserts during intermission, a commemorative program, and a behind-the-scenes tour with a one-on-one meet-and-greet with the cast — humans and horses. Also, according to Hemmerly, about $1 per ticket will be donated to Helen Woodward’s Equine and Large Animal Hospital, as well as its Therapeutic Riding Program. Tickets for “Valitar’s” world premiere in Del Mar are available at www.ticketmaster.com. For more information about “Valitar,” email info@ valitar.net, go to www.valitar.net, or find it on Twitter and Facebook.
PARTNERSHIP continued from page 3 governor. He insisted that the county would not incur any financial or legal liability. “We’re confident that can be achieved,” he said. A partnership with the county would ensure more local control of the fairgrounds because it represents the entire San Diego County region and its residents, Day said. “I’m almost as excited today as on opening day of the fair and the races,” said Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the fairgrounds. “I see this as a wonderful opportunity that will sustain the future of the fairgrounds for my grandkids and my grandkids’ grandkids.” The issue of who will own and operate the fairgrounds came to the fore in 2010 when former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reached a tentative deal with the city of Del Mar to sell the property to the city. Under Gov. Jerry Brown, that option has been taken off the table. “We have no intention of selling the (Del Mar) Fairgrounds,” said Jim Houston, deputy secretary for legislative and public engagement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, which oversees the state’s 52 fairgrounds and its agricultural districts.
The state does want fairgrounds to enhance their relevance and sustainability in the communities they serve, Houston said. Local control and support of fairgrounds became more important this year as the state cut all funding to fairgrounds throughout California due to budget constraints. The 22nd DAA is in a different situation because it did not receive any state money, even before this year’s budget cuts, and is considered the most financially successful fairground in California. But encouraging more local control is still a priority, Houston said. “We’re very encouraged that the county voted unanimously to engage in this. We appreciate Mr. Day’s leadership and the rest of the directors in pursuing this partnership, and want to make sure we all work together to form something that is for the betterment of the community,” Houston said. Houston said he does not anticipate the dissolution of the current 22nd DAA board. One possibility of a new governance model might be Antelope Valley, where a joint powers authority was formed between that area’s DAA and the city of Lancaster. A JPA was also one of the potential models suggested by Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard. Del Mar has a close interest in the operation of the fairgrounds, since the majority of the property lies within its city limits. The city has long had a contentious relationship with
the fairgrounds, and last year joined with Solana Beach and the San Diego River Park JPA in suing the 22nd DAA over its master plan. Hilliard and Councilman Terry Sinnott spoke in favor of the partnership idea at the Board of Supervisors meeting, but wanted to make sure that the city’s interests are represented in any agreement. “It only makes sense that a representative of Del Mar is part of the decision-making body that is proposed. That’s something we would encourage the supervisors to consider,” Sinnott said. Coming up with a new governance model will be a complex task with lots of moving parts, said Hilliard, but it can be done. “All of the parties are going to have to come to the table if it’s going to work. And the county is key to bringing everybody together,” Hilliard said. Roberts said there is a “significant level of interest” by the Board of Supervisors in pursuing a partnership with the 22nd DAA. “What is the future of this resource going to be and how is it going to serve all of us?” Roberts said. “Let’s look at this as a region, put out heads together, and have an open political process, where we bring a lot of different ideas into one coherent plan.”

EMS continued from page 1 Supervisors in 1969, and is watching the process closely — mainly because she has concerns ranging from mutual aid to a lack of public input on the process. The competitive bid process provides an opportunity for the county to evaluate its EMS service and include any new guidelines in its request for proposal (RFP), a detailed “job description,” so to speak, that goes out to EMS providers wishing to bid on the some $5 million contract. Before the RFP goes out, the county is to hold a request for information (RFI) meeting to allow the public to voice any concerns, and officials may also order a third party to conduct a formal analysis of EMS performance in an effort to steer guidelines set forth in the RFP. A special public meeting was held in late August and an RFI meeting was
MARKET continued from page 1 the county. “We’re almost there,” said Callahan. “I personally think this will be a great thing for the village, it will infuse some life into it.” Tentative plans are for the farmers market to be held on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on El Tordo, between Avenida de Acacias and La Granada. Christ said the market would include produce, bread, basil, oils — no clothing or “tsotchkes.” “We’re encouraging local merchants to have a presence as well,” Christ said, noting that no vendor would be selected that would compete with a vil-
DIRECTOR continued from page 12 A. Pilgrimage is one of the five pillars of Islam, a mandatory act of worship upon Muslim men and women who are able physically and financially to make it. It is mandatory at least once a life. I do it once a year. Pilgrimage for me is an extraordinary spiritual experience. Spending a few days in the holy mosque where the Prophet Abraham, and the Prophet Ishmael and the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them, all spent time and walked. Every time I’m there my mind goes back centuries and cen-
Rancho Santa Fe Review held on Sept. 6, however, members of the public were present at neither. Representatives from a handful of interested EMS companies were present at the RFI meeting, however, and Cerny said the county’s failure to inform the public about the so-called “community forum,” leads her to believe the meeting was geared more toward potential bidders than the public. American Medical Response (AMR), the company San Diego County contracted with prior to Rural Metro had a “big presence” at the meeting, said Cerny, and they are also winning new contracts in other parts of the state. Marcy Metz, the county’s EMS director, said there were no local advertisements for the meeting, and the only prior outreach was via flyers passed out to advisory board members and a posting on the county’s BuyNet website — an online interface for purchasing, contracts and e-commerce that, although public, is not
highly visible to the everyday local resident. In addition to thinking there should have been more public input on the process, Cerny said the county should have done a formal study on CSA 17, analyzing response times and ambulance placement amid changes in population, traffic and other factors. Last time the county contracted for EMS in 2006, officials did two studies that cost more than $50,000, but no new study has been done since. At the request of the advisory committee, however, officials at the two recent meetings still presented an in-house comparison between current conditions and those from the 2006 study, and some concerns were noted. One major issue is that Del Mar Heights, which is technically part of San Diego but was annexed into CSA 17 in 1976, is nearly entirely reliant on mutual aid from the City of San Di-
lage business. She said she hopes there could be things like flowers from Rancho Santa Fe Florists, coffee from Caffe Positano, cookies from The Pantry or stationary from Plume. “The whole idea is to underscore our existing community and existing merchants and promote awareness that they’re here,” said Christ, adding that she hopes the market would create a walking district where people would wander over to Thyme for a bite or into Country Squire Gifts to shop. Christ said they have been in discussions with all the building owners for them to sign off on the market. They have received support from the Culver family,
the Woolleys and Dr. George Groth, who owns the medical building and has offered up his parking spaces on Saturday mornings. They have not yet touched base with the owner of the Rancho Santa Fe Pharmacy building, but Christ said if the owner has a problem, they could have the market end before the pharmacy parking lot. Most of the residents the committee has spoken to have been supportive of the proposed market, Christ said. Christ said it’s important to note that there is no longtime commitment or contract for the market. They can try it for a while and if it doesn’t work or issues arise, the market can be stopped at any time.
turies and centuries ago, to remember what happened over there, to remember the revelation that was sent down in that place. Pilgrimage is a time to feel the equality between all the people. When you find yourself among three million people from all over the world, wearing the same garments, and doing the same things, sitting in the same place, whether you are the president of a country or you’re a beggar, you are all the same in the sight of God. Q. Any final thoughts? A. I would like my fellow citizens to understand American Muslims are their neighbors, their friends, classmates and co-workers.
We have chosen to live in this very diverse society to be part of the American social fabric. We are doing our best to contribute to the betterment of our nation like everybody else. We are not requesting any special treatment as Muslim Americans, we are just seeking respect and positive understanding. Come and visit us, whether the Islamic Center or any mosque in (North County). Go and ask about Islam. Share your concerns. We welcome everyone and we are very glad to open channels of discussion with everyone, no exceptions.”
ego, which also uses Rural Metro but is re-contracting as well. Without response from San Diego’s ambulances, standard response times in Del Mar Heights were only met between zero and 50 percent of the time, according to county documents, however, they were met 90 to 100 percent of the time when mutual aid was factored in. “CSA 17 has to be selfsufficient,” said Cerny, adding that residents of Del Mar Heights have been lucky that San Diego also uses Rural Metro and can provide mutual aid without additional costs. “If any other companies win the bid then San Diego is out of the picture.” Despite the reliance on mutual aid, Metz said there is no connection between San Diego and CSA 17 in their contracting processes, however, “bidders can be innovative in how they propose to provide service.” “We provide the framework, and they come up
FEE continued from page 1 as Rancho Santa Fe will receive a $35 discount, bringing their fee to $115, Michel said. Cal Fire, the state’s firefighting agency, shares responsibility for fighting wildland fires in the SRA with local fire districts such as Rancho Santa Fe. County Supervisor Bill Horn, whose district includes Rancho Santa Fe, said he received his bill this week. Horn said he believes the fee was imposed to help the state deal with its spiraling pension costs and budget gap, and amounts to double taxation, because residents already pay for fire protection through their property tax bills. “They’re out of money, they need more money and they’re taking the money from us. On the street we call that robbery but when the state Legislature approves it there’s not much we can do about it,” Horn said. Horn, a Valley Center ranch owner, said he’s heard plenty of grumbling about the new fee at his local post office, and from other residents of unincorporated communities in his district. The supervisor said he would support the county joining in with the Jarvis association lawsuit to fight
with a way to operate,” she said, adding that there could be higher transport fees if mutual aid is used between two different companies. “Our goal is that it’s fair, competitive and remains objective going through the process.” Metz said the most important thing for the community to know is that the response time standard of 10 minutes, 90 percent of the time, will not change for CSA 17. There’s a two-year review period that can end the contract, said Cerny, however, she said the advisory board also suggested implementing penalties if guidelines are not being met. Winston McColl, San Diego County’s director of purchasing and contracting, said standards set forth in the RFP cannot be discussed before it opens for bidding, but the RFP will “probably be similar to the current contract.” The RFP will most likely post this month, he said, the fee. Complaints have also come in to the Rancho Santa Fe Association office, said Association Manager Pete Smith. Over the past 10 days, at least a half-dozen Covenant residents have called about the fee, which Smith said indicates a high level of interest in the community. Most of the callers do not understand the origin of the fee and believe it was imposed by the local fire protection district, Smith said. His staff has explained that the local fire board opposed the fee, and directed callers to a state website set up to provide information about the fee, www.firepreventionfee.org. According to the state website, the fee must be used for fire prevention, such as brush clearing and public education. That is another point of contention for opponents, because the fee can’t be used for firefighting equipment or personnel. The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District already has a fire prevention bureau that conducts defensible space inspections, education and other activities designed to reduce the risks posed by wildfires, said Michel. “It’s an unfair tax for citizens of Rancho Santa Fe, because the district is not going to see any benefit from those taxes for the
and the entire process takes about six to seven months. The county’s Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) will choose members to be on the selection committee, which will choose which company will be awarded the contract. The committee is anonymous and usually consists of voting members and nonvoting technical experts. He said a member of the public may sit on the selection committee, however, that’s up to HHSA. “They may enter negotiations with the top one or two or they may go straight to No. 1,” he said, adding that price is not the driving factor. “Many things are considered, from staff resumes, to training to past performance.” More information about CSA 17 can be found on the county’s HHSA website at www.sdcounty.ca. gov/hhsa. To contact someone on the CSA 17 Advisory Committee, call (619) 2856429. foreseeable future,” said Michel. An average of 6 percent of the annual property tax bill paid by residents of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District— $600 for a $1 million home — goes to the district to pay for fire protection services, Michel said. In addition, district residents voted in the early 1980s to approve an annual fire protection fee of about $100 per household. The new state fee is in addition to the other taxes and fees, Michel said. Some 65,000 properties with dwelling units will be subject to the new state fee in San Diego County, according to a county staff report. (Statewide, about 825,000 properties are subject to the fee.) “Based on the current estimates of the number of eligible structures it is estimated that roughly $10 million will be collected from the San Diego region, but it is unknown if $10 million will be reinvested back into San Diego for fire prevention efforts,” said the report. Horn said he plans to pay the fee, and advised county residents to do the same to avoid additional penalties. If the fee is struck down, he said, the state will have to return the fee to residents.

Des McAnuff returns for rock extravaganza premiering at LJ Playhouse with psychedelic rock arrangements. It’s visually told through a real team effort of choreography, set designs, puppets, a great cast and wonderful projection-artist Sean Nieuwenhuis (“Jesus Christ Superstar”). He does some great things with Robert Brill (“Creditors,” “The Wiz”), my longtime scenic designer, and Basil Twist (“A Midsummer Night’s Dream”), one of the county’s most eminent puppet artists. “Music Director Ron Melrose, who worked with me on ‘Jersey Boys,’ is very inventive and imaginative, but faithful to The Lips’ songs. I’m also thrilled to have cast members Paul Nolan who played Jesus in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ at the Playhouse, and Kimiko Glenn, who was the princess here in ‘The Nightingale.’ ” Beginning at the Playhouse in 1983, McAnuff has directed 30-40 productions. His resume also includes work on films, TV and Broadway. He’s earned more than 200 awards, including two Tonys as Best Director (Musical) for “Big River” (1983) and “The Who’s Tommy” (1993), and he
Des McAnuff rehearses the cast for la Jolla Playhouse’s world-premiere of ‘Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots,’ story by Wayne coyne and Des McAnuff. PHOTO/SANDY HUFFAKER “I played it in the car several times and gradually got some notions about it,” McAnuff said. “I met with them and Wayne, and I bounced a lot of ideas around; it was an eccentric process. I extracted story ideas and themes from three of their albums — ‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots,’ ‘The Soft Bulletin,’ and ‘At
War with the Mystics.’ Wayne gave me feedback and his blessing. He’s a terrific songwriter, a very theatrical artist, and he responded to this in a positive way.” The story of acceptance, love, optimism and conformity centers on Yoshimi (Kimiko Glenn), a young Japanese artist fighting for her life who needs excep-
tional power and help. She enters a fantasy world as a Japanese warrior and pink robots become a manifestation of her illness. McAnuff said the story is sung all the way through with very little spoken dialogue. “It’s a contemporary story that takes place in our world and is multi-layered

McAnuff is currently winding up five years as the Artistic Director at Canada’s Stratford Shakespeare Festival. He said walking the stage once again at the Playhouse brings back many memories, but at the moment, he’s all about “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.” “I think the audience will find it an inspiring story with a lot of heart. People seem to have a strong emotional reaction to it. I think Wayne and the band will capture that in this production. It combines science and art in a fresh way and belongs here in the 21st century.”

La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER It won’t be the first time the theater world embraces a rock band for a production, but La Jolla Playhouse’s world-premiere of “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots,” with the music of The Flaming Lips, promises to be the most interesting. The Playhouse and San Diego theater fans welcome back former Playhouse Director Emeritus Des McAnuff, who is directing the musical, the idea for which was “born” in 2005, during McAnuff’s last year as Artistic Director. “I was aware of the album and listening to it during those months,” McAnuff said. “I spoke with Chris Ashley about it then, but only got serious about it two years ago, and he was very enthusiastic about it.” McAnuff was not only very attuned to the music of The Flaming Lips, but the band performed “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” at the opening of “Jersey Boys” on Broadway in 2005. Eventually, The Lips’ Wayne Coyne approached McAnuff to imagine it as a theatrical piece.

Contemporary Japanese flavors in the mix at Eda-mami BY KELLEY CARLSON rom neighboring residents to corporate employees, couples on dates to families with children, Eda-mami offers something for everyone. Described as “modern Japanese with traditional elements” by Sales and Events Coordinator Sandy Choi, the restaurant is casual by day, as beachgoers and businessmen and women from the nearby corporate center drop by for lunch. During pleasant weather, many of them sit outside on the two patios, shaded by umbrellas and surrounded by plants, while observing some of the wildlife from the nearby Los Peñasquitos Lagoon. At other times, patrons opt to sit in the earth-toned main dining room or family room, which are naturally lit by the sun’s rays filtering in through the large windows and simply decorated with artwork depicting foliage. At the sushi bar, guests are entertained by watching the chefs prepare food, finding the latest sports scores on the TV, or overhearing the latest Top 40 hit. But the atmosphere alters at night, as the light dims. Couples frequently sit on the patios, which glow from the fire pits and icicle lights, providing a romantic ambience. The traffic along Carmel Valley Road slows, and the environment becomes more

Families often relax and enjoy leisurely dinners, as their children create artwork with crayons and paper that will later be hung by the host’s desk. “We encourage them to draw pictures,” Choi said. “A lot of them have favorite servers (whom they draw).” The restaurant’s employees often get to know the customers, as there are a number of regulars, some of whom live in the neighborhood. “A lot of servers know the guests’ names, and vice versa,” Choi noted. And regardless of the time of day, it’s always “happy” at Eda-mami, with daylong specials on certain appetizers and sushi, and $3 beer, wine and sake.

Some additional special rolls include the Caterpillar Roll with crab meat, cucumber, eel and avocado; and the Ninja Roll, combining spicy tuna, crab meat, cream cheese, avocado, jalapeño and soy paper. Not a sushi fan? No worries. “If you’re not a sushi eater, we have a really big kitchen menu,” Choi said. There are all types of fare, from salads and vegetarian items to chicken and fish entrees -- offerings that are very similar to those at Eda-mami’s smaller Tierrasanta location. For starters, there’s the Heart Attack, a deep-fried combination of jalapeño, cream
cheese and spicy tuna; or the healthier Edamame soybeans. The salads consist of options such as Seaweed and Grilled Chicken, while lunch and dinner entrees vary from BBQ Beef Short Rib to Sesami Chicken, and Tonkatsu, a breaded and deepfried pork cutlet. There are also a half-dozen noodle dishes, including Yakisoba. Finally, patrons can wrap up their meal with a dessert such as Green Tea Ice Cream or the Full Moon Night, consisting of mascarpone and layers of infused almond coffee sponge cake. From the children’s menu, kids are able to select an entree such as Salmon Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu, Bulgogi and Tempura, and receive sides of gyoza, rice and miso soup.

Popular Carmel Valley Swirls to offer unique holiday flavors BY KAREN BILLING The holidays are coming and so are the holiday flavors at Carmel Valley Swirls. Owner Evan Wilensky has some delicious frozen yogurt fare in the works for his newest location at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. While the creamy pumpkin flavor is already available, customers can keep an eye out for peppermint, egg nog and gingerbread cookie in the coming weeks. “This is a really fun place to come, kids and adults really enjoy it,” said Wilensky. “I want the customers to have a great experience, which we provide here.” Wilensky, a graduate of Torrey Pines High class of 2002, is the CEO of ESW Investments Inc. and opened his first Swirls shop in Del Mar in 2008. After the Del Mar Swirls shop became such a success, he went on to open Encinitas Swirls in 2009 and Carmel Valley in January of 2012. At Swirls, there are 52 flavors in the mix and 12 on tap on a daily basis. Carmel Valley always has a non-dairy flavor and a no-sugar added flavor. Most of the yogurts are non-fat; there are just a handful of flavors that are low fat. “Yogurt is super healthy,” Wilensky said, pointing out that he keeps yogurt’s health claims to fame posted on the wall. It’s a good source of protein, can help lower cholesterol, improves digestion, increases metabolism and stimulates the immune system, Wilensky said. In the self-serve style, customers can fill their cup however they want, as well as sample flavors before they commit. There are always a variety of 24 toppings in addition to fresh fruit prepared daily. Wilensky ensures that his stores are kept “surgically clean”—if a dollop of yogurt misses the cup or a hunk of cookie dough gets separated from the rest they are swiftly cleaned up by the staff. Wilensky said he knows the customers appreciate the cleanliness as well as the taste of his frozen yogurt. He was grateful to be voted number one favorite Best Yogurt by this paper’s Readers’ Choice Best of North Coast 2012 contest, as well as third in the Best Dessert category. “I want to thank the readers for voting us best frozen yogurt,” Wilensky said. “I love interacting with the customers and serving up a healthy, quality product.” Learn more about Swirls at CarmelValleySwirls.com.

The event is FanFaire Foundation’s double celebration of the first anniversary of its popular music program for kids, “KIDS Playing For KIDS,” and the street release of the program’s first CD album: “Classical N Jazz by kids who love music and science.” The album, which contains 13 tracks of music for piano, as well as for cello and violin, features 10 of the program’s young artists playing original works by composers by ranging from Bach to Badelt, Chopin to Joplin. It also includes an original composition by the program’s Pizarro Brothers. The pianists among the kids played on a Bösendorfer Model 290 Imperial grand piano and a lute-harpsichord (Lautenwerk) by Steven Sorli. The CD was professionally recorded in Rancho Santa Fe by Dr. Hiroyuki Ikezi under the sponsorship of the Ikezi Music Foundation. The concert on Nov. 11 features selections from the CD album performed by 10 of the program’s 30 talented young artists who participated in the recording. The program is an eclectic mix of very enjoyable classical and jazz pieces ranging from Bach’s “Inventions” and “Partita” to Badelt’s “Pirates of the Carribean” and from Chopin’s “Nocturne” to Joplin’s “The Entertainer,” as well as pieces performed by other equally gifted KIDS Playing For KIDS team members. Light refreshments will be served following the concert. Admission is free and open to the public.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Local entrepreneurs turn closet raiding into dress shop concept BY CLAIRE HARLIN Solana Beach resident Lisa Harrison often attends parties and philanthropic events, and, like many women, she believes you must look your best and you can’t wear the same dress twice. “It’s fun to have great dresses, but it’s not fun to spend $500 or $1,000 on a dress for a one-time event,” said Harrison, a mother and philanthropist who has 30plus years of retail and wholesale experience. So after going through some friends’ clothing collections and borrowing dresses to prepare for three formal events in a row, Harrison landed a handful of amazing dresses, and she even wore two at one event — taking photos and dining in a long, silk charmeuse gown and then changing halfway through into a shorter ensemble for dancing. When she told her friend, Mindey Morrison, about her successful closet shopping adventures, a light bulb went off in Morrison’s head and the two teamed up to start the Del Mar Dress Company, a shop that opens only on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday and allows women to rent, buy, sell, and trade their dresses. The ladies said the response has been huge — and incredibly positive — since the shop opened its doors on Sept. 22 at 324 S. Cedros. For Morrison, the new business venture is quite a shift from her day job. She’s gone from being a financial advisor at Del Mar’s Efficient Market Advisors during the week to being a fashion advisor on the weekends, counseling shoppers on fit, style and color. “I’ve never had someone walk in and say, ‘What a great idea,’ in the financial world, but that’s what people say when they walk in here,” said Morrison. “We’ve had amazing feedback, and a lot of people have been bringing us their dresses.” The shop has seen a lot of traffic in recent weeks from women outfitting for the Marine Corps Ball, and the ladies said they expect to provide many options come prom season. They are even partnering with other local shops to sell off-season items for a fraction of the retail cost. Morrison and Harrison are
dedicated animal activists and support a number of charities, so they also wanted to incorporate that into their business. When women come in to donate a dress, they may choose to send a check to the charity of their choice in lieu of receiving cash. Otherwise, sellers get 30 percent of the dress’s resale price in cash or 50 percent in store credit. The women are also partnering with charities by offering to give a percentage of sales to nonprofits when people buy a dress for that organization’s event. For example, for every dress bought to wear at the Junior League’s Jingle Bash Bachelor Ball, Del Mar Dress Company will give 20 percent of that sale back to the Junior League. The shop is also partnering with its neighbor, Carruth Cellars, to offer a “happy dress hour” on Fridays, in which shoppers can enjoy hors d’oeuvres and wine. The weekly event begins at 3:30 p.m. and ends at 6 p.m. — or as Morrison says, “’til the wine runs out.” Often dress shops only carry formal attire, but Morrison and Harrison want Del Mar Dress Company to be a go-to spot for a vari-

RSF Senior Scene: De-cluttering and downsizing BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR After many years of living in one location, possessions tend to accumulate, often leaving homes packed with items that are no longer useful and lessen enjoyment of the home. For safety’s sake, it is important to get the general clutter under control as items that have been placed and forgotten may cause an accidental fall. Walkways should be clear and tables and shelves should not be piled high with items that may shift and cause an accident. Important paperwork, medications, and household supplies should be kept in easy to reach locations and out-dated items discarded. De-cluttering living spaces Terrie Litwin can improve a sense of physical and mental well-being. Whether remaining in the home, or moving to a smaller residence, this often means tackling the daunting task of parting with some possessions in order to live more comfortably or fit into the new space. Parting with heirlooms, travel-acquired treasures, special gifts, knick-knacks, or memorabilia – not to mention the home itself, can often arouse so much anxiety that de-cluttering or moving is postponed indefinitely. However, there may come a time when the satisfaction of enjoying the familiar space and objects is outweighed by the need to live in a more manageable setting whether for safety and health reasons or practicality. De-cluttering in a meaningful way is key to a successful transition from one stage of life to the next and will allow the individual to let go of some possessions in order to enjoy the future. The goal is to prevent possessions from becoming impediments to change. Organization is vitally important as decisions are made regarding what to keep, what to sell and what to give away as donations or gifts. If the process of de-cluttering or downsizing becomes too overwhelming, there are many professionals who can advise and assist with the process. Please join us on Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 10 a.m. for “How to De-clutter & Downsize,” presented by Linda Diller. She will share valuable tips on how to make the process as efficient and stress free as possible. Linda’s resourcefulness, organizational, and problem solving skills were honed as manager of the concierge and conference service departments at the Grand Pacific Palisades Resort and Hotel. Prior to that, she opened the concierge department at the Four Seasons Aviara and was recognized as one of the Employees of the Year at this prestigious property. She is now the owner of Senor Move Masters, a company that specializes in assisting seniors with de-cluttering, downsizing, and moving. It was in overseeing the moves for her own family members that Linda recognized the need for a service such as Senior Move Masters. She is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau, the California Care Planning Council, and NASMM, the National Assoc. of Senior Move Managers.

Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the first major competition of the academic year, in which students worked furiously for 30 minutes, racing to answer 100 problems in a variety of mathematical topics. With so many questions and so little time, competitors must not only have strong mathematical skills, but also be able to quickly decide which problems to solve and which to skip. After results from students across the nation were processed, several Canyon Crest Academy students received individual awards, helping their team to place 3rd in the nation. In the 9th-grade division, Zilu Pan placed 3rd, Jason Ke and Eshaan Nichari tied for 5th-place, Tristan Pollner placed 11th, and Bhairav Chidambaram was 15th.

No meal over 475 calories is the premise of local chef’s new UTC restaurant Seasons 52 to open on Nov. 19 in UTC BY CLAIRE HARLIN Local resident Steve De Barril, 27, just moved to town to bring the ever-expanding Seasons 52 concept to UTC. Known for its menu containing only dishes with 475 calories or less, the restaurant has been a hit in Orange County as well as on the East Coast, and Barril’s franchise — the first in San Diego — is set to open on Nov. 19 at 4505 La Jolla Village Drive. The concept began with the vision of Clifford Pleau, who started Disney World’s California Grill in Orlando in the 1990s, so even though Seasons 52 also got its start in Orlando, it’s truly a “California-born concept,” De Barril said. “It’s really in line with the West Coast values,” De Barril said. “It’s so produce and seafood driven.” The San Diego opening is one of four Seasons 52 openings in California and about 10 nationwide. Simply put, the concept — fresh, healthy and upscale yet inexpensive — has taken off and this is a period of major growth for the restaurant chain. “In all our cities, people have been amazed by what we do and the food and the value,” De Barril said. “It’s fast growing, but we’re not expanding too fast because we
want to make sure we do each one right and are very thorough with each restaurant.” Seasons 52 manages to keep all its menu items under 475 calories by using natural cooking techniques. De Barril has been training his UTC kitchen staff on the wood stove, and teaching how to cook with no butter, cream or deep fryers. “It’s easy that way,” he said. “You just let the food and seasons speak for themselves.” By seasons, De Barril is talking about the restaurant’s menu, which changes four times a year. In addition, a new mini-menu is put forth each week — hence the restaurant’s name — featuring brand new items like soups, flatbreads and fish dishes. Seasons 52 is also known for its signature “mini-indulgence desserts” that only cost a couple of dollars and are served in shot glasses. The restaurant features nine desserts at any given time, and the selection is brought to the table after dinner for guests to choose. “Guests say it’s really the next level of a dining experience, while maintaining pocket books and still being figure conscious,” De Barril said. De Barril has been on the opening management team of several Seasons 52 locations, including Illinois, Orange County and Phoenix, from where he recently relocated. His passion for restaurant life began at age 15 when he started working as a dish-

He quickly moved up the ladder to working as a cook, and he loved the fast-paced feel of the kitchen. “I have this huge sense of accomplishment from working in the kitchen,” he said. “The same sort of feeling people get from racing cars or sky diving.” De Barril said his favorite part of being a chef is the teamwork that ensues in the kitchen. “People are having a fantastic experience in the dining room, but they have no idea what’s going on in the kitchen,” he said. “It’s a high intensity environment, and on top of that, you are working with so

For the Belly Up, a rich musical legacy BY ROB LEDONNE It goes without saying that Meryl Klemow loves her job. As the Promotion and Hospitality Manager at the Belly Up in Solana Beach, Klemow is an ardent fan of music and the business that compasses it. “When I first applied, I told them I would do anything, even if meant scrubbing the floor. I stepped in as a receptionist, then did website work, then ticketing, leading up to my position today.” For fans of live entertainment in the North County area, not many places compare to the unique nature of the Belly Up’s legend and rich history. First opened in 1974 by entrepreneur Dave Hodges, it was named the Belly Up because everyone told him a live music joint in Solana Beach would fail and go “belly up,” even though “most people think he got the name from the term ‘belly up to the bar,’” says Klemow. Throughout the rest of the ‘70s and ‘80s, the Belly Up gained a reputation as the go-to spot for a fun night on the town. The first incarnation of the venue featured such staples as a ping pong table (which the staff is asked about to this
day), and a now-infamous disco theme on Monday nights, which drew in excess of 600 people every week during the genre’s heyday. “We tried to recreate it with a weekday RubA-Dub Reggae night, but it just wasn’t as successful as the disco night. Though I have to wonder if that was just a different time. Back then, people in their 20s used to go out every night, but now I don’t know anyone that’s hitting the town every day.” As popularity of the club remained steady, ownership changed hands from Hodges to Steve Goldberg and Phil Berkovitz, two restaurant industry entrepreneurs with an eye for the entertainment industry, who are nearing their nineyear anniversary heading the venue. Goldberg and Berkovitz, who also own the Pacific Coast Grill in Cardiff, expanded the team at the Belly Up and have managed to keep up with an everchanging music industry and economy. Explains Klemow: “Steve and Phil really wanted to keep the same model of booking lesser known local bands and national acts, as well as bigger known locals and smaller
national artists. We get them in every single category.” Helping out with booking is musician Chris Goldsmith, a five-time Grammy winner whom the staff calls their “musical guidance counselor.” “He gives us advice on everything from what bands are hot, making deals and offers, and how to be more efficient. He’s the most knowledgeable about the business because he’s out in the field performing,” said Klemow. “We wouldn’t be where we are without him.” The range of shows the Belly Up books, both past and present, range from legendary artists like Etta James and B.B. King, to buzzedabout newer acts such as AWOL Nation and Delta Spirit. Countless artists also performed at the Belly Up way before hitting it big, such as the Black Eyed Peas. “They were here when they were much smaller,” remembers Klemow. “Everyone thought they were great, but it wasn’t a sold out crowd at the time.” The most popular shows from Belly Up history can be judged by how fast tickets sell out, and Death Cab for Cutie holds the record after every ticket was
gone after two minutes on sale. “Everyone thought the ticketing link was broken on our website. I called up our ticketing system, and they said ‘no, you sold out.’” However, sometimes lesser known bands are most impressive. “One act I really liked was Concrete Blond,” says Klemow. “Their female lead singer is so good; I thought she was going to blow the roof off the place. She totally dominated the audience. Working with them behind the scenes, where you see what artists are really like, she was extremely nice with both us and the fans. Life on the road is hard, and some people don’t act like that, but she did.” Looking into the future, the bookers at the Belly Up have a packed schedule this upcoming winter. Among the highlights: a holiday show courtesy of Chris Isaak on Dec. 8, Justin Townes Earle on Dec. 12, Ra Ra Riot on Feb. 15, and Kenny Rogers in March. Said Klemow: “If we really want a band we’ll book them as far out as can be, because from October through April we seem to have more bands than (available) days.”
The Belly Up in Solana Beach
Thousands of performers have taken the stage at the Belly Up throughout the years, including Pete Yorn shown here in 2010. For now, Klemow and her team will continue to keep an eye out for new acts and extend the reign of the venue in Solana Beach. “The Belly Up is special because of the way we get everything done. We are so laid
back, but we know how to work hard. I think it has something to do with being so close to the beach.” For more information on the Belly Up, check out its website: www.bellyup. com

Horizon Prep Spirit Bowl Eight teams, 14 games, hundreds of spectators and whistle-blows, and the Spirit Bowl 2012 Championship game all comes down to this: A battle between next door neighbors, The Nativity School and Horizon Prep! For the first time in the nine-year history of Spirit Bowl, Horizon Prep is keeping the trophy at home. “This Spirit Bowl Championship has been nine years in the making,” says Horizon Prep Head Football Coach Matt Roy. “We fought hard, we played as a team, and we give all the glory to God.” Tournament teams included: The Nativity School, St. Joseph, Maranatha, Calvary Christian, St. Mary Star of the Sea, The Grauer School, Horizon Prep (A), and Horizon Prep (B). The annual Flag Football Tournament is a fundraiser for Camp Julian Oaks, a mountain camp for abused and neglected children. Totals are still being tallied, but this year’s Spirit Bowl is expected to add more than $5,000 to the $17,300 raised for Camp Julian Oaks since 2004. “Our sponsors really stepped up this year,” says Middle School Athletic Director Jeff Sutherland, “In addition to tremendous support from parents and students, McDonald’s supplied all the burgers for lunch sales and The Guiltinan Group sponsored our T-Shirts. This fundraiser really is a team effort.”

Sailing in crisp fall conditions the Dons were lead by Varsity Askipper Patrick Snow (senior)/crew Molly Pleskus (junior) and B skipper Storm Brown (junior)/ crew Robbie Culkin (sophomore). “This is a great way to start off the year and I am happy to see that our hard work so far has paid off,” said CCHS Sailing Coach Brian Stanford. “We still have room to improve though and will have a number of teams out there who are eager to beat us at the next regatta, so we have to keep working hard to stay on top.” Cathedral Catholic High School returns to the water Nov. 9-11, in Alamitos Bay for the ISSA Singlehanded Nationals.

Alternative Christmas Market to be held Nov. 18 Gifts benefit people in need at home and around the world Looking to protect the Brazilian rainforests or provide Yak milk for rural orphans in China? Or maybe you really want to purchase a bicycle for the holidays – a bicycle for healthcare workers in Namibia. Holiday gifts that will make a difference for people who live around the world from Ethiopia to Burma to Solana Beach can be purchased at the Alternative Christmas Market. Now in its 27th year, the Alternative Christmas Market (ACM) is open to online shoppers at www.alternativechristmasmarket.org. The live market with 32 different organizations is Nov. 18 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Solana Beach Presbyterian Church, 120 Stevens Ave., Solana Beach. All of the continents, with the exception of Australia and Antarctica are represented by the organizations, some of which are faith based, some aren’t. “All of them are well-known entities who have stellar track records of effective work,” Tom Theriault, outreach pastor, said. “Many people not part of our church find the ACM to be a very meaningful way to give gifts that count.” Over the course of nearly three decades, Theriault said the ACM has raised more than $2 million, and raised $100,000 last year. “This translates to hope and opportunity for tens of thousands of people here in San Diego and all over the world,” Theriault said. Local projects represented at the market include educational support programs, medical and dental programs for the working poor, help for the homeless, holiday presents for foster children, and support of local military. International projects range from protecting the environment to training midwives in Israel and Palestine to rescuing girls
from sex traffickers in Southeast Asia. Gifts start at $5. For example: $5 buys one concrete block for an Ethiopian school or a bag of nails for a new home in Tijuana; $30 buys a bag of groceries for a local family; $20 buys 10 chicks for a rural family; $25 buys anti-malaria medicine for four pregnant women in Burma; $11 buys a share in a yak – or you can buy the whole yak for $440. Theriault said it’s difficult to choose his favorite project among the many represented at the market “like choosing you’re favorite child or grandchild.” Two he highlighted, however, are the Council for Military Chaplains and Casa de Amistad. “Since the Revolutionary War, America’s fighting forces have gone into combat accompanied by chaplains,” Theriault said. “Chaplains hold the hands of bleeding soldiers and comfort the hearts of surviving families. The Council recruits, trains and supports chaplains for the Pentagon.” Casa de Amistad, a non-profit organization in Solana Beach, provides educational support and character development to 150 Hispanic children. Theriault said San Diego principals rave about the impact of the program on the test scores of Hispanic students. One school official told Theriault that students who come through Casa arrive at school with confidence and motivation to succeed.

RSF jeweler donates to the Friends of San Pasqual Academy Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry, located at 6024 Paseo Delicias in Rancho Santa Fe, will be donating 10 percent of all sales proceeds through Dec. 31, 2012 to the non-profit organization, Friends of San Pasqual Academy. Friends of San Pasqual Academy assists foster teens of San Diego County in their endeavor to become confident, productive, educated, successful adults. Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry specializes in a variety of services, including expert cleaning, re-sizing, jewelry and watch repair, custom jewelry design, pearl re-stringing, appraisal, and acquisition or consignment of gold pieces, diamonds, estate, antique, designer/gemstone jewelry and watches. According to owner Coleen Freeman, “We recently hosted an Open House event celebrating 30 years of operation in Rancho Santa Fe where we donated a portion of our event sales proceeds to Friends of San Pasqual Academy; it was such a gratifying experience that we decided to extend our philanthropic component throughout the holiday shopping season. Our contribution will help support San Pasqual Academy and their dedicated staff provide a safe, stable academic environment for deserving Rancho Santa Fe Estate and foster teens. In the spirit of giving during the holidays, we Fine Jewelry owner Coleen hope to make a difference.” Freeman with “Sophie.” The Friends of San Pasqual Academy organizes a variety of fundraising events throughout the year, including “Teens, Jeans and Dreams” held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in the fall, scheduled next year for Sept. 7, 2013, and “Tee it Up For Foster Teens” a golf tournament in the spring, which will be held on April 22, 2013, at the Santaluz Club. Visit www.friendsofsanpasqualacademy.org or call 858-759-3298. With regard to the acquisition of jewelry, Freeman said “We have very good connections with Sotheby’s in New York and Los Angeles where we can facilitate items for disposition. We once had a rare gold piece brought in for appraisal and ended up helping our customer sell it through Sotheby’s auction house because it was so unique. We also operate on the highest level of discretion and our customers value the confidentiality we maintain; one of our regular clients is a descendant of a high-profile celebrity that drives down from Hollywood to liquidate jewelry that she no longer wears because she has trust and confidence that her transactions will always be private and her compensation will consistently be honest and fair. I enjoy helping people and we also welcome pets in our shop.” Visit www.ranchosantafejewelers.com for store hours and appointments, or call 858756-4047.

Your Family Matters: Curbing entitlement in kids BY DR. KEITH KANNER Just exactly what is entitlement? Entitlement is when a child assumes that he or she is deserving of something that they have not earned. In other words, they assume they should receive Dr. Keith Kanner something for the mere fact of being who they are. Within this paradigm, there is not a causal relationship between good effort and reward. The unfortunate outcome of a child who feels entitled is that he or she does not follow the same rules as everyone else and frequently ends up lonely and disappointed when interacting with the outside world. Entitled children also give off a flare of superiority that often makes others uncomfortable and their attitude is often very self-serving and lacks the sense of reciprocity expected in normal interpersonal relationships. Like with any other personality characteristic, the building blocks of entitlement began in childhood and societal trends often guide the current parenting trends. For example, we have been experiencing the “me” generation for the past 20 years now. Here, the focus has been on making children feel important and special more than ever. On the one hand, this is a vital part of parenting. On the other hand, taken too far can lead a child to feel “too important” giving rise to entitled tendencies. Balance is always best. Any loving parent will also tell you that it pains them to bring dismay or pain to their child which is almost always guaranteed each time you say “no” to your kid, which goes back to the time when they began walking and talking. Parents who are afraid of upsetting their kids, which is what saying “no” does, often say “yes” too much
giving the child the sense of omnipotence. If this becomes systemic, then you may be on your way breeding an entitled adult. The two most common parental traits which contribute to the development of entitled children are guilt and fear. Guilt-ridden parents are prone to overindulge their children. They seem to feel as though they owe their child something. You don’t. They need to accept things sometime. The child’s ability to tolerate frustration is a vital learning lesson and builds a solid character. The other group are the fearful parents who worry that they kids won’t like them anymore if they say no. Your kids love you but also like and dislike lots of things about you. This is fine. They aren’t going anywhere if you say “no” when you need to. They need you too much. Getting out of an entitled condition involves changing things. The parent needs to learn how to say “no” and demand compliance and it involves the child accepting that they can tolerate not always getting what they want and everyone survives just fine. This is a process, however, with bumps along the way, if there has been a history of giving in too much. As a parent, you may not only need to say “no” but also set some sort of a limit or take something away to help your child realize that you are serious. But, the good news is that children and adolescents are still in a state of personality formation so making changes during the years they are home can make a world of difference.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
New franchise brand known as Berkshire Hathaway Home Services created BY KATHY DAY Look for the Berkshire Hathaway name to join those in the local real estate market. A new franchise brand known as Berkshire Hathaway Home Services will bring Del Mar-based Prudential California and Rancho Santa Fe-based Real Living Lifestyles under the new banner. The joint venture, announced Oct. 30, unites HomeServices of America, an affiliate of Warren Buffett’s Omaha, Neb.-based company, and Brookfield Asset Management, a global alternative asset manager with a Residential Property Services division that includes Prudential Real Estate and Real Living Real Estate. Leann Iacino, chief operating officer of Prudential California, said the venture is particularly significant since it is the first time Berkshire Hathaway has given its name to one of its subsidiaries. “We feel it is the biggest game changer in residential

real estate in decades,” she said. “There is no better name in business.” The transaction follows existing industry models of real estate companies having a number of different brands under a single banner. Prudential and Real Living affiliates can retain their respective brands for the length of their franchise agreements, some of which extend through 2024, according to Caroline Underwood, a spokesperson for HomeServices. They also have the option to switch over sooner. No changes in leadership at Prudential California’s Del Mar office or Real Living’s local operations are anticipated and there will be no impacts on the local agents, Underwood said.

president of Real Living Lifestyles which operates eight offices in San Diego County, said his company will retain its name, but now will be known as a division of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. In the case of Prudential, which has more than 25 offices in the county, Iacino said they “will co-brand both company names” for an unspecified period of time. In a press release, Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said, “I am confident that these partners will deliver value to the residential real estate industry, and I am pleased to have Berkshire Hathaway be a part of the new brand.” The joint venture will munication can take your relationship to an even deeper place.

be based in Irvine. Iacino said that local agents’ reactions have been extremely positive given the stability of the Berkshire Hathaway name.” She and Rodgers both noted that their clients stand to benefit from the distinctive luxury brand, stability, integrity and international exposure the Berkshire Hathaway name brings. The venture will also give agents more access to sales tools, including social media sites and global networks, through the combined strength of the companies, Iacino added. Rodgers also said that because of the combined companies’ strengths in the relocation market, Real Living will “benefit in a big way.” Brookfield is known for its real estate franchising experience while Irvine-based HomeServices brings its operational expertise to the table, Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield Asset Management, said in the press release announcing the new franchise brand. More than 53,000 Prudential and Real Living agents across the U.S. will join the more than 16,000 HomeServices agents as the new brand is rolled out. In San Diego, Real Living Lifestyles will bring about 400 agents to the mix, while Prudential California adds about 1,000 agents. tion, they can become distant from each other.
