RSF residents voice concerns over proposed downsized housing project board’s Feb. 5 meeting to assert their opposition during public comment. Rancho Santa Fe Association Board President Ann Boon said the plan has not yet been submitted to the Covenant Design Review Committee. There will be at least four public submittals of the project once it is designed, two to the CDRC and two to the Association board, allowing many opportunities for public input
BY KAREN BILLING Some Rancho Santa Fe residents are concerned about a potential downsized housing project on the 29acre Mabee property on Calzada del Bosque. The project has been presented to the San Dieguito Planning Group and the Whispering Palms community and last came before the Rancho Santa Fe Association board in May 2014. Residents came to the

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved a new “sponsored member” category for the RSF Tennis Club, allowing non-residents to join as playing partners for members and pay a premium for the privilege of playing in the Covenant club. At the Association’s Feb. 5 meeting, RSF Tennis Club President Dave Van Den Berg said he hopes the new category will help membership bloom even more at the club, which has rallied from a low point of 189 members to 230 members as of last week. RSF Association Vice President Craig McAllister said that such an accomplishment in boosting membership should not be overlooked. He said 14 years ago, the club had a membership of 340 that steadily dropped as the years passed. “This is a turnaround that we haven’t seen in 14 years — that’s phenomenal,” McAllister said. Van Den Berg said some of the growth could be attributed to expanded membership categories that the Association approved in December 2014, which include golf club memberships, reinstatements, extended family memberships and social memberships. “We are really the most excited about making this a true asset to the community that will attract people to See TENNIS CLUB, page 30
on the project’s merits. The preliminary design on Calzada del Bosque and Via de la Valle consists of 55 age-restricted units and four custom estate lots that serve as a buffer between the adjacent property owners. The plan includes five acres of open space with ponds, gardens and walkways, and the large home on the property will be converted to a community center for the units, with the second floor featur-
ing two guest units for the residents that will not be for sale or for rent. The land is zoned “C,” which allows higher density developments. Of the four parcels on the property, only one is within the Covenant and will require an internal annexation. Neighbor Rick Nicholas said they may be called NIMBYs (Not In My Backyard), but he believes the project will affect everyone
in the Covenant. He said he has a petition with 120 signatures opposing high development at the gateway to Rancho Santa Fe. “Half of us use Via de la Valle every day, and it will be extremely difficult to mitigate the traffic impacts,” Nicholas said. “The project is beginning to pick up a little steam, and we want to let the board know there is a See HOUSING, page 30

in order to ensure a student’s needs are met. As parent Korri Ball stated at the Feb. 5 board meeting, the changes aren’t meant for students to switch on a whim, but only if there’s a clear personality conflict or if a teacher is not teaching up to the district’s
standards. According to Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services, the district does not allow students to move to a different teacher in the same class subject. Parent Anne-Katherine Pugmire said that there
needs to be a fair process in place that allows students to move laterally and that shows that the district’s top priority is providing the best educational experience possible. “We need to offer another alternative to get out of a class that is not provid-

RSF Golf Club resolution approved
Town hall meeting on health club, pool coming in March
BY KAREN BILLING A resolution formalizing the relationship between the Rancho Santa Fe Association and the RSF Golf Club Board of Governors was approved at the Feb. 5 Association board meeting after the two boards came together and found some common turf. The resolution includes language making it clear that the RSF Association manager is allowed to attend board of governor’s meetings and that the club’s general manager reports to the Association manager. At the January meeting, RSF Golf Club President Steve Dunn expressed concerns that the item was on the agenda for approval before the Association board and board of governors had a chance to meet and clarify a few issues. He requested the two boards meet before the resolution was approved and a meeting was held in late January. RSF Association President Ann Boon said both sides were able to express their concerns and the board listened to an “extremely detailed� presentation from the club. “It was very productive and collegial, and we did come to an agreement on the final language,� Boon said. “The most important thing was that we all felt this was the first of many meetings we will have on a regular basis.� RSF Golf Club board member Dottie Mulholland agreed that the meeting was very productive, open and honest. “I think we all learned a lot about each other’s perspectives,� Mulholland said. A resolution has been in place between the RSF Golf Club and the RSF Association since 1987, and it is reviewed every 10 years. It was last reviewed in 2007 and will be due for review again in 2017.
BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s health club and pool committee is starting to hold focus group sessions with members to get a feel for what kind of amenities they would like to see included in a potential facility. According to Heather Slosar, the RSF Association board’s committee liaison, the focus groups are scheduled to be held March 19, 20 and 21 and will be followed with a town hall meeting March 26. Slosar said once the information is gathered, they will be able to give the architects instruction on what amenities to include. Slosar said the committee is looking to put the facility to a community vote in the fall. At that time, they hope to have some pre-sale memberships so voting members know they won’t be saddled with something that would be a financial burden. These initial planning steps are part of the $350,000 professional planning phase approved by a community vote in November 2014. The tentative cost for the 15,000-square-foot facility between the RSF Golf Club and RSF Tennis Club is an estimated $10 million, but the professional planning phase will better shape those numbers. Costs for the project are proposed to be funded through a combination of Covenant Enhancement Funds, pre-construction membership sales, financing and also donations and fundraising. The Luddy family has committed to cover 10 percent of the project cost.

Scouts defend hike to nudists’ beach • Organization’s council says proper protocols were observed BY JOEL HOFFMANN, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW The local Boy Scouts of America organization is defending a Rancho Santa Fe Cub Scout pack after a nature hike exposed a group of young boys to a nude beach. The leadership of the San Diego-Imperial Council of the Boy Scouts of America issued a statement in response to the incident, saying leaders quickly changed routes to move the boys away from the “inappropriately dressedâ€? beachgoers. “Following the trip, both San Diego-Imperial Council and Pack leadership met with parents to discuss the events and determine if further action was needed,â€? said Karl Shelton, a spokesman for the council. “Together we concluded that proper protocol had been observed and appropriate steps were taken in this matter.â€? The Jan. 24 hike along Torrey Pines State Beach led the group to a state-owned stretch of Black’s Beach where a nude sunbathing group called Black’s Beach Bares often congregates. The California Department of Parks and Recreation does not strictly enforce rules that require beachgoers to wear clothing. “Clothing optional recreation requires constant defense, because people often misunSee BEACH, page 30

High school district clarifies use of leaseleaseback method for its construction projects BY KAREN BILLING At its Feb. 5 meeting, the San Dieguito Union High School District was set to approve the use of the lease-leaseback method for two upcoming district construction projects. Parent Steven McDowell objected to the lease-leaseback agreements being part of the board’s consent calendar. “You want to be more transparent to the community and give the public the opportunity to speak on it,” McDowell said. McDowell said he had concerns that the projects were using the lease-leaseback method and not going out for competitive bid. He said he hoped for a discussion on the pros and cons of the lease-lease back method versus a competitive bid process. The board agreed to pull the items from consent to be discussed. With the lease-leaseback method, a school district has the flexibility to select a contractor not just by the lowest bid, but on the ability to complete the project. The property is then leased to the contractor, usually for a low amount. The contractor then builds the project and leases the property back to the school district. Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, said that the district issues a request for proposals for construction managers and conducts a competitive process to select one. Dill said there is also a competitive process with lease-leaseback that is built into the contract, noting that the construction manager receives three to five bids per trade
contract. Dill said the biggest benefit of the lease-leaseback method is the guaranteed maximum price. Going into the program, the district agrees on the maximum amount they are going to pay and the construction management company has the incentive to get it done on time. With a contractor, the district assumes responsibility for delays and change orders that all must be board-approved and can cause a three- to four-week delay due to board meeting schedules. Dill said trades can back up and a six-month project can instead take 12 months. “With lease-leaseback, it’s all handled within the guaranteed maximum price, and the construction manager continues to move the project forward and keep it within what we’ve established will be paid,” Dill said. “The protection of the lease-leaseback helps make sure we do what we’ve set out to do and not burn dollars.” Board member Amy Herman said when she first began on the board, she had never heard of lease-leaseback, but has seen how effective it has been. She said she is glad it is an option for the district. “It’s worked really well,” Herman said. “Projects come in under budget and on time, and provide facilities for our students, which is our No. 1 priority.” The board voted to approve lease-leaseback agreements with Byrum Davey Inc. for athletic field improvements at the La Costa Valley site, expected to be complete in fall See PROJECTS, page 27
SDUHSD hires underwriters for next bond issue BY KAREN BILLING At its Feb. 5 meeting, the San Dieguito Union High School District board appointed two firms for underwriting services for their Prop AA series B issuance. Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, recommended that the district go with a negotiated sale, as it did with its first issuance, and use two underwriters rather than one. With two underwriters, Dill said he thinks that opens the market to a wider scope of investors. With the negotiated sale, the board also has control over the date of sale and can be reactive to market conditions. Dill said the district is also saving on underwriter costs by having an underwriting discount not to exceed .2 percent, rather than .6 percent. He said it would represent a savings of about $260,000.
The board approved hiring Stifel, Nicolaus & Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. The hiring of Stifel, Nicolaus was not unanimous; the vote was 4-1 with John Salazar voting against it. “You’ve certainly convinced me that a negotiated sale will be better,” Salazar said. “I think having two underwriters is a wonderful idea, but the other company invested in the bond campaign, so I’m stuck with not voting for (Stifel, Nicolaus & Company).” At a board workshop on March 5, the board is scheduled to discuss the size and structure of the proposed bond series, go over a financial analysis of total costs and review projects that will be funded within the issuance. The board is then slated to authorize issuing bonds at the March 19 meeting. The sale of the bonds is expected to occur in April.

Tycoon owner sentenced to prison for defrauding lenders and IRS Grant McCollough, a real estate investor and owner of Tycoon Investments, along with his wife, Marisa McCollough, a former Wells Fargo Bank employee, were sentenced Feb. 10 by U.S. District Judge Michael M. Anello for participating in a mortgage fraud conspiracy involving dozens of properties in Colorado and Maui, Hawaii. Grant McCollough was sentenced to 10 months in custody; Marisa McCollough was sentenced to four months. The court also ordered the couple to pay $25,746 in restitution to the IRS. The McColloughs pleaded guilty on Sept. 30, 2014, and admitted that as part of their conspiracy they recruited investors to act as “straw” buyers in real estate transactions. The defendants then arranged for false information to be submitted to mortgage lenders in support of the straw buyers’ loan applications. The McColloughs also fraudulently inflated the value of the homes and disguised the source of the down payments, in order to skim funds from the fraudulent transfer of property among their co-conspirators. They then hid their skimmed profits from the Internal Revenue Service. Nearly all of the fraudulent mortgages were arranged by co-conspirator Donald Totten, a mortgage loan officer and broker operating from Rancho Santa Fe. Totten was sentenced in October 2014 to 30 months in prison for his role in the scheme, which included mortgage fraud causing more than $20 million in losses to mortgage lenders, bankruptcy fraud, and filing a false tax return that failed to report more than $3 million in taxable income. Totten operated the businesses Money World and Integrated
Home Loans, and specialized in brokering a particularly toxic stated-income, stated-asset “negative amortization” loan product, which allowed borrowers to make monthly payments less than the interest charged over the same period and without paying down the principle balance, so that the monthly payments were low but the outstanding balance of the loan increased over time. Grant McCollough was not the only principal of Tycoon Investments involved in the conspiracy. McCollough’s business partner, Jason Kent, was also charged in the scheme. On July 21, 2014, Kent pleaded guilty to wire fraud, and admitted assisting Totten, Grant McCollough, Marisa McCollough, and others with carrying out this mortgage and “kickback” scheme. Kent’s case was transferred to the District of Hawaii and he is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 26 before U.S. District Judge Leslie E. Kobayashi. With Totten’s help, Marisa McCollough bought a $3.4 million oceanfront home in Lahaina, Hawaii. In order to qualify, she falsely claimed that she earned $90,000 per month, had close to $700,000 in savings, and made a down payment of $630,000. This was all false, and in fact she did not contribute any of her own funds to the purchase. The McColloughs lived in the home for several years, but never made the mortgage payments they owed. According to court documents, many of the fraudulently obtained mortgage loans subsequently defaulted, causing mortgage lenders and secondary purchasers, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to suffer significant losses as a result of the conspiracy. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are govern-
ment-sponsored enterprises with a mission to provide liquidity, stability, and affordability to the U.S. housing market. Both enterprises assist mortgage lenders by purchasing the loans they originate, enabling the lenders to replenish their funds to finance additional mortgage loans for American homebuyers. The statements that borrowers make in loan applications are an important factor in Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s determination whether to purchase a mortgage loan. — FBI press release

Nonprofit harnesses power of music as a therapeutic tool BY JOE TASH On a recent overcast morning, Matthew Parker stood singing and playing his banjo with a group of other musicians in the courtyard of the Naval Medical Center near Balboa Park in San Diego. As Parker sang “Wagon Wheel,” a song co-written by Bob Dylan and turned into a hit by Darius Rucker, people passed through the busy courtyard on the way to lunch or medical appointments, and others gathered to watch. The performance was more than just an impromptu gig for Parker and the other musicians — they were part of the Semper Sound Band, made up of injured or ill active-duty service members and veterans who were participating in a music therapy program organized by Resounding Joy, a San Diego-based nonprofit. Parker, an Iraq War veteran whose “day job” is training military dogs, has post-traumatic stress disorder because of injuries suffered in combat and in two motorcycle accidents after his return. The music therapy program, he said, has been a “godsend.” “I love it,” he said. “It really takes me away.” Sam Abel, a former Navy corpsman who also was injured in Iraq, strummed an acoustic guitar alongside Parker at the courtyard concert. He has suffered from a traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Playing with the Semper Sound band, as well as at the Veterans Administration treatment center where he lives, forces him to meet people and allows him to express his creativity. “I feel like it gets me out of that trap of being depressed and isolated,” he said. The Semper Sound program began in 2010 as an outgrowth of some of Resounding Joy’s other programs for seniors and young children, said Barbara Reuer, the group’s founder and executive director. It began with a 90-minute program at the Naval Medical Center, and has since expanded to weekly one-on-one and group sessions at a number of military facilities in the county, including Camp Pendleton. Semper Sound is especially meaningful, said Reuer, because the concept of music therapy — now a widely accepted adjunct to other forms of psychological treatment and therapy — began with efforts to help World War II veterans recover from what was then called “shell shock” by bringing musicians to play for them in the hospital. “It’s come full circle with these men and women coming back (from Iraq and Afghanistan) with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder,” she said. The program includes a number of activities for participants, from guitar lessons to song-writing sessions, said Hannah Bronson, program director for Semper Sound, and a certified music therapist. The band plays at the medical center courtyard once a month. The musical interaction is intended to help the military members and veterans deal with the emotional and neurological aspects of their injuries, as well as physical ones. For example, patients who have suffered a hand injury might need assistance learning to play an instrument, Branson said.

Photo by Joe Tash “Music is such a dynamic way to help people,” she said. In addition to the work with military members, Resounding Joy also has programs for seniors, young children and teen moms, said Reuer. The program trains adult and youth volunteers to work with senior citizens in a variety of settings, from nursing homes to senior centers to in-home visits. The visits could include singing, playing instruments, listening to music or other music-related activities. Music can enhance the seniors’ memory and communication skills, said Reuer, includSee MUSIC, page 8

Local native’s novel examines today’s glorification of celebrity BY JOE TASH The main character in the new novel by Kevin Brass is a trendy, smart writer who gravitates towards TV cameras and celebritytracking websites like a gambler to a poker game. But Brass’s novel, “The Cult of Truland,” is also about places — Del Mar, Solana Beach and Los Angeles, the stomping grounds for Brass, a longtime journalist, as he grew up, attended Torrey Pines High School and worked in print and broadcast media. “The setting is very much a character in this book,” said Brass, who divides his time among San Diego, Miami, Barcelona, and other places where his journalistic works takes him, such as the Middle East. A local native, Brass said, “I love the politics, the conflicts and the drama” of the seaside town. “I love that it attracts characters.” The novel, published in 2014 by a company Brass launched, called Glowing Sand Media, chronicles the adventures of Jake Truland, who writes sensational novels as a way of attracting attention to himself. “The books are a tool for a larger goal, to be the most famous guy in the world,” said Brass, during an interview at an outdoor table at the Pannikin coffee house on Coast Highway in Leucadia on a warm, bright February morning. North County readers will recognize the descriptions of local hangouts, and appreciate Brass’s nod to the area’s laid-back vibe. “Del Mar was his escape hatch. It was a two-hour drive south from Los Angeles but technically out of the Hollywood sphere of influence. Several Hollywood types had homes scattered across the coastline. For years Ravi Shankar owned a house a few miles up the road, which is how Jake found himself discussing Mongolian meditation techniques with George Harrison one night, long ago. “But there was more to it. The lifestyle was part of him now — the beach, the early morning volleyball games in the cold mist, body surfing at sunset. It had changed him, altered his focus, his rhythm of life.
Kevin Brass with his novel, ‘The Cult of Truland.’ Photo by Joe Tash There was always a single fin tossed in the trunk of his car, just in case the waves were up. He had a special app to track surf reports,” Brass writes. Early in the book, Jake’s life is upended when his Del Mar beachfront house burns down in an apparent arson fire. Amid the official investigation into the mysterious blaze, the celebrity media machine cranks into high gear because of the main character’s status as a regular on talk shows, tabloids and gossipy websites. Jake schemes with his agent to make the most of the media attention headed his way. The book is meant to be a fun read, while also allowing Brass, a former media critic and commentator for the Los Angeles Times, to examine today’s celebrity-obsessed media, from TMZ to Buzzfeed to Access Hollywood, where he also once worked. “I do feel like I bring an insider’s perspective to this world,” Brass said. Another thread running through the novel is the way that the lines of demarcation between traditional media, such as newspapers and television news, and their celebritytracking brethren, have become less defined. “That line is blurring. You’re seeing the style and tone and thought process of celebrity coverage seeping into the traditional media,” he said. When Brass isn’t working on a novel, he covers such issues as development, urban planning, architecture and real estate trends for a variety of publications and websites, including the International New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Urban Land Institute and OZY.com. He recently spent a year and a half living and working in Dubai. “The Cult of Truland” was something he’d been thinking about for a while. “This was a book I felt I needed to write,” he said. “It’s been gestating for many years.” Brass will give a talk about celebrity journalism and his book at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the Del Mar Library, 1309 Camino del Mar, Del Mar. Admission to the event is free.

Local soccer star heads to University of Notre Dame BY ROB LEDONNE Hanging in Torrey Pines High School senior Ian Aschieris’ bedroom is a memento he’s kept since he was a child. “It’s one of those Thanksgiving frames that you paint in school and write what you’re thankful for,” he said on a recent Monday evening. “Mine says, ‘I’m thankful soccer.’ It doesn’t even include the word ‘for’ — that’s how young I was and how long I knew this was a path I wanted to go down.” Aschieris is well on his way down that path after a Solana Beach’s Ian Aschieris, about to kick the ball while lifetime of honing his skills on the field. Earlier this playing for the San Diego Surf, will take his soccer month on February National talents to Notre Dame come fall.

He’s been a part of a variety of teams throughout North County since he first started to play competitively at just 5 years old, and he hasn’t taken a break since. Aschieris climbed the athletic ladder until he was a freshman at Santa Fe Christian, where he was a part of the school’s varsity team, and then transferred to Torrey Pines his sophomore year to play varsity there. However, Aschieris knew that if he wanted to pursue the sport in a major way after high school, he had to transfer to club soccer. “It was a tough decision,” he said of why he left the Torrey Pines team and joined the ranks of San Diego Surf, which he’s still part of to this day. “I knew I needed to play academy and the transition made it a lot easier knowing this was going to help me get to the next level.” (Aschieris completes his North County soccer odyssey this coming June when his time with the Surf wraps up.) During a friendly match in 2013, the powers that be at Notre Dame came calling. “They
had seen me during a tournament and emailed me afterwards,” Aschieris recalled. “I responded, and we kept in touch throughout the year.” Aschieris liked everything he saw at Notre Dame, from their soccer team (which won the national championships in 2013) to academics as well, considering he wanted to study business and Notre Dame has a top business school. “One of the things they made clear is that academics is very important to them as well as athletics, which I liked,” he said. However, one wrinkle made him apprehensive at first: His entire family went to USC. “My mother was a gymnast there and my father studied there,” said Aschieris. “My brother goes there now and my grandparents even went there, as well as both of my

aunts and uncles on my dad’s side. Meanwhile, my cousins attend Notre Dame — so there’s a bit of a family rivalry going on.” Not wanting to pass up a good opportunity — and subsequent scholarship — Aschieris verbally committed to join Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish last July and thus broke ranks from the rest of his family. Despite that, Aschieris said he couldn’t be more excited for the chance to strut his stuff with the esteemed team. He recently returned from an unofficial visit to meet with longtime Notre Dame coach Bobby Clark and get a sense of what life is like in South Bend, Ind. “This is something I’ve dreamed of doing since I was a kid,” he said. “What more can I ask for?”

Patriot Profiles: ‘My dad had me on the range at a very young age’ • This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY A soldier must be ready when the time comes for him to fire his weapon. The U.S. military expertly trains and tests its forces before a weapon is placed in a fighter’s hand. Many who enter military service have never held a rifle, let alone targeted a human enemy who is aiming to kill them, their brothers in arms or innocents. Army Sgt. Cody A. Pultz is not one of those who had never held a gun. Pultz’s father, a competition shooter on the New York National Guard Rifleman Team, exposed Pultz to shooting. “My dad had me on the range at a very young age,” said Pultz. He remembers going out with his dad and shooting with .22s. Pultz tasted competition at age 10, when his dad enrolled him in a Small Bore Rifle shooting program. “It was here I learned basic rifle marksmanship skills and the importance of firearm safety.” By age 15, he was competing in nationally-ranked matches. “Biggest thing with him (Dad) was rifle safety, being aware and conscious of what you’re doing at all times.” Pultz graduated from high school in Mesa, Ariz., where the family had relocated. He jumped into some college courses, but noticed a transformation in some friends who had returned from Army and Marine Corps basic training. “I saw the way they carried themselves — with a sense of pride with what they’d already done.” He thought, “I think I’ll try something else. I like what they are doing.”

At age 18, Pultz began to train on a military shooting range, as an Army infantryman. He was a little frustrated at first. He’d learned from the “best of the best” and felt he was “ahead of the power curve.” Tasked to understand the Army way, he surmised there is a gap between civilian and military shooting worlds. He talked to Army shooters and rifle marksmen. “They taught me some new tricks for honing my skills with weapons.” Handling the M-4, Pultz says he’s strong in “the ability to be flexible and adaptable to the mission at hand.” Assigned to Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Aviation at Fort Hood, Texas, Pultz deployed to Afghanistan in 2011, serving as a CH-47 (Chinook) helicopter door gunner. The primary role for a CH-47 is troop movement, artillery placement and battlefield resupply. “We’d put guys on the ground, and then we’d hang out at various altitudes, and when they called for a pick-up, we’d go in and pick them up. I know they (the enemy) would get close, but most of our missions were conducted at night, so they could hear us, but they couldn’t exactly see us. It was an awesome experience and I miss it.” Pultz enjoyed aerial views from his gunner post — able to see the snow-covered Afghan mountains, while flying missions from Camp Marmal, in the city of Mazar-e-Shariff. Re-deployed to Fort Hood, Pultz served as an Air Assault School instructor, his most intense position. “I

ing those who have dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. “Especially in laterstage Alzheimer’s, to have a few lucid moments and have the person recognize them, is really meaningful” to family members, said Reuer, who has worked in the field of music therapy for 35 years. Other programs offered by Resounding Joy include 10-week music classes for parents and toddlers,

Photo courtesy U.S. Army. was one of the youngest guys in the cadre (and) the lowest ranking, so I had to climb the rings, learn all the material, and then apply everything to all the noncommissioned officers I was working with.” It took eight months to earn the title of “Black Hat” (instructor). “The biggest concern for the students was predominantly safety.” Pultz worked in Phase III, teaching soldiers to rappel off a 53-foot tower, dealing with extreme heat, high winds and cold. The exercise offered a challenge while simulating an air operation. “We definitely find out who are afraid of heights once they get up in a helicopter at about 80 feet.” A good marksman has to understand the fundamentals of aim, alignment, trigger pressure and breathing. Practice builds confidence, which Pultz had spent a lifetime gaining. In situations where there are many unknowns, the sure shot may be vague and confidence can be tried. When Pultz deployed to Liberia in October 2014, he would join in Operation United Assistance’s efforts to help the Liberian government control Ebola. A clear view of what he would face was not in his sights. He was happy to see he was not “in the middle of a jungle” but met with civilized society. “I was expecting nowhere near the amount of infrastructure and the various government programs in effect here.” Pultz serves at Division Non-Tactical Vehicle Dispatch office — the primary control center for Barclay Training Center, a hub of activity. His job includes facilitating, managing, and maintaining accountability of all vehicle movement in and out of the BTC. “I and even birthday parties, Reuer said. Reuer also runs a forprofit music therapy practice called MusicWorx, Inc., which works with hospitals, nursing homes, schools, substance abuse centers and other facilities. The common theme, she said, is using music to help people. “We all respond to music,” she said. “It can be a very powerful therapeutic tool.” For information about Resounding Joy, visit resoundingjoyinc.org.
arrange trips, coordinate drivers, and get times and locations to get the missions done. “ All the driving is done by Liberian nationals. Pultz describes one of his best drivers, Milton Lomax, a local militiaman, who had experienced war and tragedy. “He’s the definition of selfless service. He’ll go out of his way to make anything happen.” Lomax is an electrician, student, music producer, mechanic. “Every Sunday, he cuts hair for all the U.S. Army personnel.” Being the middle man for Army personnel and local drivers created an “aha” moment for Pultz. “Even though I was trained to do one thing (infantry), I found myself in many different situations. I still came out on top and made all the missions happen, no matter what section I was working in. “I’ve had good days and bad days, same as everyone else. But the biggest thing is how you recover from the bad days,” said Pultz. The Liberia deployment caused him to miss a one-year wedding anniversary. “That was a little rough on us, but she (his wife) is coping with it very well. She’s just waiting for me to get home.” Good days are remembered with his father. “We were on the same range — we had the same stage for one of the big competitions. One of my favorite memories was working with him — seeing how he’d conduct business and how I would conduct business.” The skills a doting dad taught go out with this infantryman on every battlefield. Sgt. Cody A. Pultz is prepared to fire his weapon, when the time comes.

Silver Tea toasts RSF Library Guild benefactors PHOTOS AND STORY BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild celebrated its most consistent and generous library benefactors on Feb. 6 at its Donor Recognition Silver Tea. Attendees sipped tea and enjoyed treats like sandwiches, desserts and Valentine candy hearts. The Guild had one of its most successful fundraising years in a long time, said Susan Appleby, membership and development chair. One of the largest donations came from the family of Nan Werner, a longtime volunteer who recently passed away. Werner was a Guild president and treasurer, and for more than 25 years dedicated herself as a volunteer to the library and Book Cellar. The gift will be used for landscaping and benches in the new Nan and Charles Werner Patio and Garden at the library entrance. “It will really set the front of the library up as a place where people can gather and visit,� said Susan Stone Hayes, the Guild’s ways and means chair. As she poured tea, Stone Hayes reflected on her years with the Guild. When she moved to Rancho Santa Fe 30 years ago, they were redoing the Book Cellar. She volunteered to help. “Here I am, 30 years later, still on the board,� she said. The rest of the Werner gift established the Nan and Charles Werner Fund to support Guild personnel. The Guild has several funds named for members, such as the Ellie Johns Scholarship for communications majors, and the Virginia Dewey Memorial Fund for the future of Guild collections at the library. Stone Hayes said Dewey was a “fabulous friend� with whom she served on the book-buying committee. Stone Hayes brought in purple heather to decorate the tea tables in memory of her friend, who loved all things Scottish. Visit rsflibraryguild.org.

The Pageant seeks to elevate Baby Boomer women as well as senior women, encouraging them to “stay vital and connected with life” and to be role models for their peers and younger generations. The pageant evaluates four areas: an interview, modeling an evening gown, sharing a philosophy of life statement, and talent. We have a tremendous amount of talent in the San Diego area and talent comes in many different forms. We’ve had comics, pianists, singers, dancers, public speakers, and the list goes on from there. (There is no bathing suit competition. Whew!) The three top contestants from each preliminary will advance to the State Pageant on June 14 to Joyce Schumaker of San compete for the title of Ms. Senior California at the Joan Kroc Diego was first runner-up Peace Studies Theater at the University of San Diego. in the California State Women interested in competing in the San Diego Area Pageant in 2014.

Ms. Senior San Diego 2014, Joyce Schumaker from San Diego, went on to be the first runner up in the California State Pageant in 2014. “Several of our preliminary pageant winners have said ‘I’ve never been in a pageant before, but then I heard about this pageant for women over 60, I decided to put it on my bucket list and just go out and do it!’” said Pamela Wheeler, former CEO of Ms. Senior California of America and herself a Ms. Senior California title winner.

The event will be held from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21, at Canyon Crest Academy. Best-selling authors and many other writing professionals will provide inspirational and educational workshops to students of San Diego-area high schools.

Conferences of this caliber normally cost hundreds of dollars, so this is a unique opportunity for San Diego teens. Pre-registration is required. This year’s keynote address will be provided by Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author, four-time Bram Stoker Award winner, and comic book writer. Several of Ma- Sandra Maas berry’s novels are in development for movies and TV including “V-Wars,â€? “Extinction Machine,â€? “Rot & Ruin,â€? and “Dead of Night.â€? Recent additions to the speaker line-up are: • Dr. Adam Lowenstein, UCLA professor, author, and currently vice president of counseling and enrollment at Summa Education, will present “If Dickens Had a Podcast: The New Old Art of Writing a Serial.â€? Lowenstein will dissect the serial to discover what it is about this weirdly addictive narrative style that has been so deliciously compelling for the past two centuries. • Kathy Aarons, author of the best-selling “Death Is Like a Box of Chocolates,â€? first in the Chocolate Covered Mystery series by Berkley Prime Crime, will discuss “The Road to Publication,â€? a look into what happens once you get your book contract and what to expect when your book hits the shelves. • Chris Hamilton, founder of Hamilton College Consulting, will present “Why William Faulkner and James Joyce Wouldn’t Get into Berkeley: Storytelling in Your College Essay.â€? Hamilton has helped literally hundreds of students gain access to Ivy-level universities, and thousands find a path to colleges of all descriptions.
• Sandra Maas, weekday primetime co-anchor of the KUSI News and award-winning journalist, with more than a dozen Emmy nominations, will present “Getting It Write on Television News — A Workshop for Future Journalists.â€? The Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore will be selling speakers’ books, with a portion of the proceeds going to the conference.

Temecula horse/animal rescue needs funds for new home by April Monika Kerber and Louise Gardner have rescued more than 180 horses and brought them to Villa Chardonnay Equine and Animal Sanctuary in Temecula over the past 11 years. In their care, the horses have regained hundreds of pounds, received medical care and have the permanent home they deserve until the end of their days. The equine safe haven has grown and cares for an incredible 140 abandoned horses, eight rescued donkeys, three goats, more than 50 homeless cats, 14 rescued dogs and three turkeys. The waiting list is long for animals seeking a home at Villa Chardonnay. Now Villa Chardonnay, one of the largest and most reputable sanctuaries in North America, must leave its home. “Help us protect them all. We have committed the rest of our lives to them and their care. Each one is unique and has special needs. We are urgently reaching out to animal lovers throughout the country for help,� said Kerber, CEO and caregiver/rehabilitator at the facility. A larger facility will provide a better home for the animals and offer additional programs for the children and adults of Southern California. A location has been identified that has enough land for the horses, equestrian facilities for programs including equine therapy and helping people with disabilities, and room to grow alfalfa for feed. Villa Chardonnay has launched a national capital campaign to raise funds for a down payment and the physical move. Additional costs will be financed through a mortgage, as a property required for this many animals costs into seven figures. The deadline to raise the funds is by April 2015. Learn more about the capital campaign and corporate sponsorship opportunities at www.villachardonnay.org, or mail donations to 42200 Calle Barbona, Temecula, CA 92592. To participate, contact Louise Gardner at Louise@VillaChardonnay.org. Villa Chardonnay, Horses with Wings, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit.

Letters/Commentary/Opinion
Village’s parking problem needs a solution Parking issues in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe have been discussed for the last 30-plus years, and we still have a problem waiting for a real solution. We have many charming older commercial properties that were built without today’s current parking requirements. Finally, in the commercial district, after many years of discussion, a few curbs were painted green designating two-hour timed parking. Our real need is to have green curbs within the entire commercial district and enforce two-hour parking on both sides of the streets. This will create a turnover of parking to better facilitate shoppers, diners and customers for all of the village businesses. Right now, we have about half of the commercial bordering streets without green curbs, and guess what happens? People park there all day with no turnover and thus limiting places for customers to park. The problem is really two-fold: When everyone who works, manages, etc., in a local business parks all day within the commercial district, customer parking is greatly reduced. So where can employees, managers, agents, etc., park all day? Answer: We need a real satellite parking lot for them to park outside of the commercial district and not on residential neighborhood streets. Can you just imagine what a difference there would be for customers and visitors by freeing up available parking within the village as a result of this satellite parking lot? In the past, there were some places that were used for weekday parking, which were paid for either by private parties or sponsored through a consortium. Ideally, a local governmental agency would be the provider of the solution for us, or in our case, a homeowner’s association that hopefully understands the need to help retain local businesses and customers by providing adequate parking. We need attention to this old problem that keeps getting worse while we see local businesses shrink or disappear. How many times do you have to drive around the streets before you give up and go elsewhere? Let’s make it a priority to solve this parking problem for the Village of Rancho Santa Fe. There are solutions and we deserve better! Marion Dodson
Foreign language debate at R. Roger Rowe again Is the relationship with R. Roger Rowe School’s introduction of foreign language on again? In a world where two languages are often spoken, along with the growing demand to know a second language, it has become a necessity to function in our global economy. We cannot ignore the fact that an early introduction to a foreign language when a child’s brain is more open to linguistic development can benefit our children’s future. For parents on each side of the debate, a program with clearly defined goals and desired educational outcomes could put most parents at ease. It’s encouraging to see parents come together for a viable solution. The key is to know what will benefit our children for the future and produce a basic understanding of what the next level of education is requiring. There is a spectrum of learning, and foreign language can be introduced based on a continuum of goals by grade level. Some elementary schools begin with exploratory programs that explore the language and the culture as a general concept where proficiency is not a goal —to total immersion programs working toward full fluency by middle school and high school. School administrators need to consider: • Setting realistic program goals A total immersion program may prove too difficult to accomplish at the primary grade level and thought should be given to a sing and speak, partial immersion, content-based or enrichment program options. • Program design The program type, goals, and percent of class time spent per week need to be clearly defined by grade level. • Teaching methodologies for young
students As with most core subjects, it is critical to build knowledge and skills from grade to grade. • Coordination and materials across all levels of instruction Programs must link to higher grades to build the long sequence of instruction with age- appropriate materials. Most important is program evaluation and effectiveness. Teachers, parents, and students should all provide input on the effectiveness of the language program goals and desired results to make recommendations to achieve success. We know in the past that foreign language as an elective did not work well. As far as our school conducting an elective survey, I bet foreign language will again fall to the bottom. Foreign language simply cannot complete with other extracurricular activities, such as art, music, and robotics, if treated as an elective. More discussion is needed on where success has been seen in other schools around the country. Time commitment also seems to be an issue. Is there enough time in our kids’ schedule to add another program? So the amount of class time spent by grade level needs further inspection. One thing is clear: It will take parents, teachers and school administrators all working together to achieve success. Will the school board task a committee made up of volunteer parents, foreign language teachers, classroom teachers and school administrators all working together to research, examine, explore and evaluate foreign language programs ? It’s unknown, but it could help determine the best model for our school. By working together, anything is possible. Lorraine Kent Longtime resident and parent

Rant with Randi: I just don’t get it BY RANDI CRAWFORD I’m not going to write about #deflategate after the fact, because that’s yesterday’s news. But I’m compelled to write this article. My husband has the strongest set of values of anyone I’ve ever known. I’m certain that if I did something illegal, he’d be the first person to report me to the police. He’s just “that guy.” For fairness purposes, you should also know that his favorite NFL team is the Patriots. It’s a toss-up between the Pats, the Celtics and the Red Sox, but let’s just say he drinks the Boston Kool-Aid. The last part of this puzzle is that I’ve never liked the Patriots. And more specifically, I’m not a fan of Tom Brady. Needless to say, it doesn’t make for pleasant dinner conversation. When “#deflategate” went down, I didn’t rub it in his face, but I did ask him about it. I didn’t get much of a response and didn’t push. I waited a few weeks, did my own research, and then cycled back around. It took two whole weeks for my husband to actually say the words out loud, “I think Tom Brady and Bill Belichick knew about the balls. Nothing happens on that team that Belichick doesn’t know about.”
I almost passed out. For him to admit that his team did anything wrong is nothing short of a miracle. Naturally, I asked what their punishment should be, and this is where “I just don’t get it.” My husband, with his unbreakable values, doesn’t think it was a big deal. To quote him, “The punishment needs to fit the crime.” And in his mind, the Pats crushed the Colts and would have done it with or without deflated balls. Hmmm. You see, to me, they cheated. And while I know that it’s incredibly naïve to think that the Colts should move up and play in the Super Bowl, I simply can’t understand how my husband, and frankly all the Pats fans, doesn’t seem to have a problem with the fact that they deflated the balls, which See RANT, page 27
Action needed to resolve issues concerning Black’s Beach The letter below was sent to San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner and to this newspaper for publication. Dear Mrs. Lightner, In view of nationwide concerns of a BSA Scoutmaster leading a group of Cub Scouts into Black’s Beach without parents’ consent, I am pleading with you to help your community and the general public’s concern by addressing the current inability of individuals to use “Common Sense” conduct. The goals are to relieve concerns of Black’s Beach while ensuring the rights of naturists to allow for their right of enjoyment, to ensure appropriate civil conduct with minors, to ensure consent of all parties involved of entry into the clothing optional-nudist beach area. Points to resolve issues concerning Black’s Beach: • Restrict the entry with legislative addendums and signage of hikes, outings, beach combing, picnicking, etc., from families, civil, community, school, and church groups of two or more that include children under the age of 18 without written consent of a parent or legal guardian. • If violated, would be considered a misdemeanor and a fine up to $5,000 to the person who violated the restriction as well as the organization that sponsored the violator. This is an excellent opportunity to show your immediate great leadership by showing true concern of your community, minors, and nationwide general public while the issue is in public awareness. Diane Lekven Parent of BSA Cub Scout P.S. I encourage others to write to the San Diego Mayor and/ or La Jolla Town Council in support of a positive change.

Education Matters/Opinion
San Dieguito’s boundary quandary BY MARSHA SUTTON The decision by the San Dieguito Union High School District last Marsha Sutton spring to create a task force to study the district’s boundary policies was billed as an effort to be inclusive and give all stakeholders a voice. But in reality, not only did it cut out of the process many stakeholders but it also delayed by one full year any changes in outdated policy. It also fueled a firestorm of protest among parents frustrated by the secretive meetings and outraged over the $350-per-hour price tag for a controversial facilitator. If the school board had simply made a decision last year, after considering all the demographics and legal constraints, there would be a new policy (or perhaps the same old policy) in place for this fall. Either way, at least we’d know. After all, trustees were elected to make those hard decisions. But now, because of the delay, nothing will change, if anything changes at all, until the fall of 2016, leaving parents of this year’s incoming ninth-graders stuck with the same antiquated system. Worse yet, this fall’s admittance levels may be more restrictive than ever before, because last year the district, under political pressure, admitted every student on the waitlist for both San Dieguito Academy and Canyon Crest Academy, overfilling both schools and leaving fewer seats open for this fall’s incoming class. What a school has space for, and thus requires a lottery for, seems to be a moving target. Until protests erupted last spring, both academies were classified as full and 190 students were waitlisted. But when the noise got so loud, room was magically made for all 190 waitlisted kids – 65 at SDA and 125 at CCA. Apparently, a school is full … and then suddenly, based on some obscure administrative calculations, it’s not. After last year’s over-enrollment, it’s doubtful we’ll see the same sort of magic at the academies this fall. Outdated policy The boundary problem came about because, last spring, incoming ninthgrade students choosing San Dieguito Academy were placed in a lottery, per district policy, and many living
within walking distance were not chosen. A policy on boundaries that is 18 years old has outlived its usefulness, clearly. There are two hard boundary schools – kids who live in the northern part of the district are assigned to La Costa Canyon High School, and kids in the south go to Torrey Pines High School. The two so-called academies – San Dieguito in the north and Canyon Crest in the south – are open boundary schools, meaning any student in the entire district can apply to go there. Because demand has exceeded supply at both academies, lotteries are in place. Last spring, there was a near riot, from parents not just of incoming ninth-graders but those with younger kids who could predict the future. Kids who can’t attend their neighborhood schools – schools they can walk to, for heaven’s sake – is unacceptable. Thus, the study group, which is closed to the public, was created. The goals of the study group, according to the district, are to examine the long-term demographic projections that could influence high school enrollment, review current district practices and relevant state law, analyze each potential option, identify benefits and drawbacks of each option, share the information with the community, and report findings to the school board. The group is composed of 43 individuals, all of whom had to submit an application for acceptance, which was reviewed by district staff. There were many more applicants than the number selected. Eight are students (two from each of the four comprehensive high schools), 15 are parents, and 20 are district employees. Of the 20 district employees, 13 are teachers, three are counselors, two are principals (Tim Hornig of San Dieguito Academy and David Jaffe of Torrey Pines High), and two are district administrators. Teachers are on the committee “primarily because they lend some insight into schools [that’s] different than parents have,” said Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent for educational services, who serves on the committee. Another reason, he said, is that any change “would impact them and has the potential to change the core curriculum and the way
they teach.” Also, Grove said, faculty is involved when any major policy change is being considered. “That’s how we operate,” he said. “We include our teachers in all big decisions.” Teachers in the study group are as much all over the map as parents are, Grove said. The ones at Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon “have some real interest in some change,” while those at the two academies “like the choice aspect.” Grove said teachers are not over-represented in the group because only about half of them come to the daytime meetings since they need to be in the classroom. “So we overloaded the number of teachers to account for all the absences,” he said. But Grove previously claimed that one reason members of the public should not be able to observe the closed meetings is that, if they can pop in and out, they would not have the benefit of the background provided at early meetings. So why are teachers given a pass when the district knew they wouldn’t be attending all the meetings? Is there not a commitment to show up if one submits an application? How are teachers to make informed recommendations if they have missed some of the background meetings? Neighborhood schools The district plans to have its fourth meeting of the study group on Feb. 17, after which Grove said the district will hold a number of town hall meetings, although there is no set schedule yet – no dates, locations, or even the number of meetings. “We will see how it goes before setting a schedule,” he said. If there is demand, more will be scheduled. If certain areas of the community seem more interested, more meetings will take place there. After all the town hall meetings, members will regroup to finalize recommendations to present to the school board, which Grove hopes to do by June. Working backwards, incoming ninth-grade students need to make their choices by next Feb. for the fall of 2016. So boundaries need to be finalized by Feb. 2016. And there’s a lot of work to change policy, Grove said, which means backing up at least six months, which brings us to this Aug. or Sept. for a final decision from the school
board. Any policy change for 2016 would affect current seventh-graders and those in lower grades. According to reports from the last three meetings, brainstorming discussions have resulted in five possible options, not all of which, Grove said, are viable: 1. Status quo. 2. Draw traditional boundaries around all four high schools. 3. Eliminate all boundaries and enroll students based on choice and a lottery if necessary. 4. Maintain existing boundaries for LCC and TP but allow for geographic priority for the two academies. 5. Eliminate all existing boundaries for all four high schools and guarantee enrollment for students within a specified radius of each school, opening enrollment up to other students outside that radius if seats are available. Options 4 and 5 are hybrid models that allow students within walking distance to attend their neighborhood schools. Grove said the purpose of the meeting on Feb. 17 will be to narrow down the five options to three. He said having no boundaries for any of the four high schools was not a viable option, and having four hard
boundaries is problematic because it eliminates choices and forces students within the set radius to accept the programming distinctions of their neighborhood school, whether they want that or not. Because CCA and SDA have adopted the 4x4 schedule, and TP and LCC have not, this matters to many students. Grove said the best options are to keep the system as is, adopt four distinct boundaries, or a hybrid approach that allows for geographic proximity around the two academies. This last option would mean that students living near SDA or CCA will be pleased with the policy but students living just across the street from the geographic radius might not be. The group recognizes that any option will leave some families unhappy, Grove said. Boundary changes are one of the most contentious topics any school district confronts. But a policy that allows kids to attend their neighborhood school is about fairness and common sense. It’s just that simple. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.
OBITUARIES
Norma Mattalía 1940 – 2015 La Jolla resident, Norma Mattalía, was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, on April 15, 1940, the only daughter of first generation Argentineans Toto Mattalía and Lucia Gomez. She was the mother of long time La Jolla residents, Fernando and Santiago Aguerre. She passed away on Feb 3, 2015, at UCSD Hospital. Norma married at 17 and at 19, she was a full time mother of two, while attending Law School. She had been a beach and ocean lover at a very early
age, as were her parents. Her love for all things oceanic was passed on to her children, Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, residents of La Jolla since the early 80s. While raising teenagers and practicing law, she was always near her two boys, from an early age, mentoring their love for surfing and entrepreneurship and passing on her kindness, love, and passion for a better world. In 1978 she teamed up with her sons to fight back a ban on surfing imposed by the military dictatorship, supporting their activities, including Fernando’s presidency of the local surf association. In 1979 they succeeded in ending the ban. The very same year they partnered and opened Ala Moana Surfshop, a legendary retailer in Mar del Plata, still in business today. After her two children moved to La Jolla, California, in the mid 80’s she became a co-founder of their San Diego based surf brand Reef. By 1986, at age 46, interested in working in an area closer to her heart, she quit her law practice, went back to college and five years later received a Master degree in psychology. She immediately started teaching and opened a mental health clinic. With her children and their families
firmly established near Windansea in La Jolla, in 2002 she decided it was time to move her home to be near all of them. She settled in a home near her two sons, and her eight grandchildren, enjoying her life as a grandmother and a tango dancer, her passions in the last part of her life. She also went back to college, this time to improve her English skills, which she spoke fluently besides her native Spanish. She was also fluent in French, Italian and Portuguese. Norma was very happy in the “endless summer” weather of Southern California and being near her family, but she started with the symptoms of an illness that would affect the last five years of her life. She’s survived by her two children and their spouses: Fernando Aguerre and Florencia Gomez Gerbi and Santiago Aguerre and Cecilia Aguerre; and her grandchildren, Jakue, Kaila, Tiare and Gina Aguerre, and Marina, Alani, Emilia and Luken Aguerre. A memorial and spraying of the ashes ceremony will be held at Windansea beach in the near future. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

makes it easier to catch and throw the ball, period. I realize that the Patriots didn’t need deflated balls to win the game, so why did they do it? I know that nobody has stepped forward and admitted to deflating the balls, but you’d have to be pretty naïve to think that 11 out of 12 balls just mysteriously deflated on their own. And more important, why are there no consequences? As parents, we use sports to teach life lessons, so can someone tell me what is this lesson? During our conversation about it, he brought up “George Brett’s corked bat” that Gaylord Perry took away from a Royals game against the Yankees, and the steroid controversy with the baseball players. Does this make it right? He argued that the NFL is a business and that they were probably elated to have the Pats playing with their huge fan base. Who is this guy? I’m curious. Do you believe that professional athletes have a responsibility to the people who pay to come see them? Remember the infamous Nike ad, “I am not a role model. I am not paid to be a role model. I’m paid to wreak havoc on the court. Parents should be role models. Just because I dunk a basketball doesn’t mean that I should raise your kids.” I knew that ad never felt right, but after having kids of my own, I’m blown away. Kids look up to athletes on and off the “court/field.” We watch “our teams” play every week; we buy tickets to go to the games, purchase jerseys and the shoes the athlete supports. I haven’t even mentioned the video games we buy (Madden, NBA, Fifa, etc.), and we sign up our own kids to play these sports. It’s safe to say that sports is a huge part of our culture and a phenomenal way to teach our kids values, sportsmanship, and how to be a good competitor. So when the Pats deflate 11 out of 12 balls, what are we saying to our kids about winning? What say you? Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.

2016, and Erickson Hall Construction Company for phase two of work at Torrey Pines High. The vote for Erickson Hall was not unanimous, with trustees Maureen “Mo” Muir and John Salazar voting against it because of the company’s “massive contributions” to school bonds, which they felt represented a conflict of interest. “It makes it seem sleazy and ‘pay to play,’” said Salazar. “It makes it hard for me to vote for Erickson Hall because of that.” Dill said he has no knowledge of the private businesses that choose to donate to bond campaigns; they have hired two construction managers since Prop AA and he said donations weren’t a factor in their evaluations.

Financing, Purchasing or Leasing Your Solar Project This is the third in a series of ďŹ ve articles focused on the beneďŹ ts of installing solar photovoltaics on your home in 2015. In this piece, Will Hobbs, owner of Native Electrical Construction, Inc., provides expert insights on the payment options for your new system. Be sure to check back for next week’s feature on information regarding the actual installation process of your solar project. There are three primary options available for consumers when it comes to purchasing a solar system for their property: Leasing, ďŹ nancing and purchasing. It is important to consider your ďŹ nancial situation as well as the long-term implications of leasing or ďŹ nancing your systems, as opposed to a straight-up purchase. THE LEASE Although solar is an outstanding environmental investment, leasing your system is not the most effective ďŹ nancial investment. A lease simply lowers the monthly charges associated with your electrical usage for a certain period of time and provides you no ownership in the end. “You cannot go wrong choosing to install solar on your property, however I urge you to be very cautious if a lease is your only option,â€? Hobbs said. There are major factors to consider, according to Hobbs: s 9OU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO THE PERCENT &EDERAL 4AX #REDIT BECAUSE THE COMPANY INSTALLING your system will reap that beneďŹ t s 3HOULD YOU ELECT TO SELL YOUR HOME DURING THE COURSE OF YOUR LEASE POTENTIAL BUYERS WILL HAVE to agree to the terms of the contract you signed, or you will be penalized for defaulting on the terms identiďŹ ed within your contract s !T THE END OF YOUR LEASE TERM YOU DO NOT OWN THE SYSTEM NOR THE EQUIPMENT AND WILL HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO NEGOTIATE NEW TERMS WITH THE OLDER OUTDATED EQUIPMENT NEGOTIATE NEW TERMS TO INSTALL NEW EQUIPMENT OR RETURN TO PAYING THE UTILITY “Be sure to select a reputable company that you have conďŹ dence in being around for the life of YOUR LEASE v SAID (OBBS WHO DOES NOT OFFER LEASES AS AN OPTION TO CUSTOMERS 3HOULD YOU CHOOSE TO LEASE (OBBS RECOMMENDS "AKER %LECTRIC 3OLAR LOCATED IN %SCONDIDO OR 3ULLIVAN 3OLAR 0OWER located near Miramar Road.

voice of opposition to this project.” Over the years, the 29-acre parcel has been considered for many things, from a proposal for 80 casitas to a new Rancho Santa Fe School District campus. Longtime Covenant resident Larry Mabee purchased the property seven years ago intending to develop a horse training facility. Mabee passed away in 2013 and his family began exploring other development options. Rob Langford, who has lived slightly north of Calzada del Bosque for the past 30 years, urged the board to have a clear voice against the proposed density on the property. “Density on this site would really violate the (Covenant’s) master plan and violates what we thought we would be living around,” Langford said. Neighbor Saiid Zarrabian said he was especially concerned that when the plan was presented to the San Dieguito Planning Group, the developer representatives presented the minutes from the May Association meeting that stated the board was pleased with the concept and fully in support of the project. RSF Association board member Philip Wilkinson clarified that the board was unanimous on the need for downsized housing, as it has been stated as a priority of many residents. “We were favorable in that light, but they still had to go through the county process,” Wilkinson said. “There were no guarantees, and the project did not get approval,” added RSF Association Board Vice President Craig McAllister. Wilkinson said whether downsized housing happens on the Calzada del Bosque property or with The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe’s proposal has yet to be determined. Last June, The Inn revealed a proposal to add three neighborhoods to the 21 acres owned by The Inn in the village. The Inn’s initial proposal included demolishing 14 of its 99 units and adding 30 units of 2,000 to 3,000 square feet for a total of 115. Residents such as Langford said they feel that type of dense downsized housing as proposed by The Inn is where it belongs — in the center of town.

move here,” Van Den Berg said. “We are turning this club into an active, vibrant club.” The new sponsored member category would allow a regular member in good standing to sponsor a non-resident member as a Tennis Club member. The member must be approved by the Tennis Club board, and if approved, would pay an enrollment fee and $1,000 extra in dues a year. The category would be limited to 25 members and the membership would be for only a one-year term with the possibility of being renewed. The new membership targets a problem inherent to many tennis clubs, where there might not be an adequate player base of similar skill levels. Unlike golf, where players of different skill levels can play together, Van Den Berg said tennis is most enjoyable when players are evenly matched. “The No. 1 reason people join a tennis club and the No. 1 reason they quit is that they don’t have someone to play with,” said Van Den Berg. “I’m on a mission to not only increase the membership, but increase a certain kind of members.” RSF Association board member Heather Slosar took the most persuading to approve the new category, worrying that it set a precedent: What if the golf club came in next month and asked for the same type of membership? “If we start allowing outsiders into our Covenant amenities, we’re going to start watering down our brand,” Slosar said. RSF Association board member Rochelle
BEACH
Putnam said she initially was against the proposal as well, but said essentially these are playing partners — sponsored guests that Covenant members are responsible for. Rather than paying $5 in guest fees, they are on the hook for monthly dues. Van Den Berg also expressed his excitement that the RSF Tennis Club was recently named the 2014 Outstanding Facility of the Year by the U.S. Professional Tennis Association, San Diego Division. “It’s an unbelievable achievement, and a very prestigious award that is the culmination of a lot of hard work by our board,” Van Den Berg said. The RSF Tennis Club’s junior tennis program is a particular source of pride, as it boasts 18 players in the top 40 in the country and five of the top players in the world. There are more than 60 youths in the middle school tennis program partnership between the Tennis Club and the Rancho Santa Fe School District, and Saturday men’s tennis groups are swinging, having climbed from eight to 26 players. Van Den Berg said he aims to build the club up to 349 members. It has been hard work, but he is starting to see results. “It’s like dragging a bag full of concrete blocks through the mud … I work at this every day. I know what our potential is,” Van Den Berg said. “I hope it gets so busy and filled with kids and activities. I want the Tennis Club to be a place where people come and have a great time.”

class.” Ball shared the experience of one of her four sons while he was in seventh grade at Diegueno Middle School. He had a math teacher “he did not see eye to eye with,” and upon meeting with a counselor, it was found there was a mutual dislike between teacher and student — but there was no option to change out of that class. “A teacher has the ability to motivate a student to excel, and on the flip side, it can severely diminish a student’s confidence and cause them to shut down,” Ball said. Even though her son, now older, was an AP student in several subjects, he had to drop to a lower level in math and continued to struggle. “I think the teacher had a serious impact on his confidence in this subject,” Ball said. Now she has a student who is bored in his eighth-grade honors English class and she doesn’t want to see the same thing happen with him that happened with her other child. With a new teacher instructing the class, for the first six weeks of class they have written paragraphs in journals, they’ve read one book and written one essay. While reading “The Diary of Anne Frank,” students were told they didn’t have to read the middle of the book because it was boring and repetitive. Ball was told her child’s only option is to move down to a regular English class. Vita Lee Slaidins said that as a district parent at Oak Crest and Diegueno, her children have had many exceptional teachers, but she feels it’s obvious her seventh-grader is not getting the rigor he deserves from his honors English class. Lee Slaidins said that he has only done short written assignments with no feedback, which doesn’t help in the learning process. “His class had only read half of one book while others had completed four,” Lee Slaidins said. She said after one parent approached the teacher about the rigor of the class, the student was singled out in class as the teacher polled the students on whether they thought the class was hard enough. The experience has made more parents reluctant to come forward. Again, her only option is to move her student down a level. “That option doesn’t serve the needs of the student, and it just isn’t right,” Lee Slaidins said. She made it clear her intention is not to vilify one teacher, but to make sure the issue is brought to light. Ali Berger, the board’s student representative from Sunset High School, shared insight from her experience as a transfer student from Cathedral Catholic High School. The school had an add/drop policy and she said it was beneficial for her to be able to switch laterally — she felt she worked much better with the new teacher. Melanie Farfel, the student representative from Canyon Crest Academy, also endorsed the parents’ suggestion. “I am completely in favor of this,” Farfel said. “I haven’t had an experience like that, but I know students who have and have suffered from it.” She said they only have to be careful that students aren’t transferring to get an easier class. “You don’t want students just dropping because nobody wants the hard teacher,” she said. In her 11 years in the district, Pugmire said that her children have been motivated and inspired by several high-quality educators. She said much can be learned from different teachers and their styles, but in the case where her child is “suffering beyond repair” in a critical honors English class, remaining with the teacher will only decrease educational results. “It’s unacceptable to me that to get out of a class, you have to go down a level,” Pugmire said. “It sends the wrong message.” Districts such as Poway Unified and Vista Unified have a process that allows changes. Pugmire said Vista’s is a three-step process, and she was told very few parents and students opt to go through it, but those who do feel that their students’ needs are addressed. Trustee John Salazar said he sympathized with the parents, as he has experienced it personally. “Ninety percent of the teachers are really excellent,” said Salazar, noting he has come across some “horrible” teachers. “To tell a parent that they don’t have this option is horrendous. This is a very, very big problem and I would hate to see it get shoved off. I would like to see it fixed.” Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district takes all parent concerns about teachers seriously. “I don’t think we shove anything off,” he said. “We do welcome feedback and we do listen to the community. I appreciate the parents noticing all the good, but like any organization, there are areas we can improve, and this may be one of them.” Schmitt said the district would bring back recommendations at a future meeting.

derstand and try to outlaw it,” the nudist group says on its website. “Black’s is not a perfect beach, but we try to make it better. We like our beach to be litter free. We like to be able to reach a clothing optional environment without excessive risk to our lives.” The group also notes on its website that there are “no easy ways” to get to the beach. It has published step-by-step directions and a photographic guide to reaching the beach by land and water, including a route through Torrey Pines State Park.
The clothing-optional stretch of Black’s Beach is approximately 2 miles south of the park entrance, and it’s about a mile long. The route to the beach includes a “disputed area” known as Mussel Mesa, according to the group’s guide. “If you don’t cover the usual body parts in this area, you risk a citation,” the group notes. Beachgoers can take off their clothes after they pass a steel buoy 100 yards from Mussel Mesa. The Boy Scouts council had not responded to U-T San
Diego’s questions about why the hiking route was chosen by the time this story was written. Lloyd Johnson, known informally as the mayor of Black’s Beach, said he sees no problem with the hike. He told the U-T he has seen a lot of wildlife at the beach, including birds and fish and squirrels. “There are even fossils on the beach,” he said. “I think it is a great place to take Boy Scouts.”

Audiences will find intrigue in ‘The Twenty-seventh Man’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER Actor Hal Linden and Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein pool their talents for the West Coast premiere of “The Twenty-seventh Man” opening Feb. 15 in Balboa Park. The play, which deals with the grim fate that befalls a group of Jewish writers in Russia under Stalin’s brutal rule, is written by award-winning novelist Nathan Englander and directed by Edelstein. The cast also features Ron Orbach, Robert Dorfman, Eli Gelb, James Shanklin and Lowell Byers. Linden plays Yiddish writer Yevgeny Zunser. The actor, who gained fans from his television roles on “Barney Miller,” and recently, “2 Broke Girls,” has apYIDDISH DEFINED peared on Broadway in “Cabaret,” “The Gathering,” “The Sisters Rosensweig” and “I’m Not Rappaport.” His credits The term ‘Yiddish’ is deoff Broadway include “Visiting Mr. Green,” and “A Christrived from the German mas Carol.” His films include “Out to Sea,” “A New Life” word for ‘Jewish.’ The and the upcoming “Stevie D.” most accepted (but not Linden is also a singer and musician who has earned the only) theory of the three Emmy Awards and a Tony Award.

Many actors can research their roles from historical events, but that was not something Linden could do for this project. “I’ve been working on it,” he said. “There’s no research that speaks about this event to
my knowledge. I don’t have to be accurate historically, just true to the script. The subject is about the death of Yiddish, and you don’t have to research that too far; it’s almost gone … so few speak or write it anymore. More to the point, this play is about how you face impending doom, and find the humor in death, if you can. “When Barry and I talked about this sometime back, we went over some of the questions I had. My character is dying and Yiddish is dying. He has to come to terms with that, and (the reActor Hal Linden (right) plays Yevgeny Zunser in the alization) is passive, and pasWest Coast premiere of Nathan Englander’s ‘The Twensive does not generally work ty-seventh Man,’ at The Old Globe.

Let’s face it; rehearsal is the only place where an actor can come to life as a character, because somebody else wrote the play and someone else tells you how to say it and what to do.” Linden added that he is “very excited” to work with Edelstein and have the playwright there as well. “It’s in the rehearsal process that the discovery goes from ink to flesh,” Linden said. “And I love to work with directors because they have minds of information and possibilities, if they’re good. When you have a director that delves, digs and probes, it’s great.” With its message about tyranny and creativity, Edelstein and Linden both agree “The Twenty-seventh Man” resonates with today’s news headlines. “This is just the right play for ‘our’ audiences,” Edelstein said. “They compose people who value intelligence and a story with good, wide appeal.” Said Linden, “When I first read it, I kind of considered it a niche play that the audience might not have cared about, but with what’s going on in our world, it’s very relevant.” “The Twenty-seventh Man” runs matinees and evenings from Feb. 14-March 22 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

Sharing life with bipolar disorder helps local man help others BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although World Bipolar Day is March 30, Roger Alsabrook raises awareness about bipolar disorder to eliminate social stigma every day. As the founder and leader of a Del Mar-based, peer-facilitated support group for those with depression or bipolar disorder, Alsabrook offers advice to people living with mental illness. He also encourages them to share their stories with their family and friends. “This is my story, but I’m encouraging people with bipolar to come out and participate,” Alsabrook said. “Tell people about having bipolar. See how much you can help others.” Originally from Dallas, Alsabrook was misdiagnosed with major depressive disorder when he was in his 20s. For about two decades, he tried roughly a dozen different antidepressants that didn’t work. Alsabrook wasn’t properly diagRoger Alsabrook of Del nosed with bipolar disorder until he was in his late 40s. “When I finally got bipolar meds, my mood went from Mar: ‘Tell people about being very low and very manic to in the middle,” said Alsa- having bipolar (disorder). brook, now 68. “That’s where I’ve stayed ever since, and my See how much you can life changed.” help others.’ Before he was properly diagnosed, Alsabrook said he struggled financially, lost friends and alienated family members. Once he started taking the correct medications, he was able to make sound investments and ask for forgiveness from his family. “They needed to know my pre-medicated actions were because I was bipolar,” said Alsabrook, who worked in the oil and gas industry. After he retired, Alsabrook and his wife permanently moved to their Del Mar vacation home, where they’ve lived for almost a decade. “Now than I am medicated and have been medicated for a long time, I am a functioning part of society. I just think people need to know there are functioning, medicated people with bipolar.” Although Alsabrook was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago, he spent most of his life hiding his diagnosis from extended family and friends. At 65, he decided to change that. “I kept it hidden. I never brought it up because of the connotation,” said Alsabrook, who has two adult children and seven grandchildren. “Finally, I said, ‘I’m too old. I’m not going to hide it anymore. I’m not going to keep it in.’” Alsabrook began sharing his story with others. People positively received his revelation
and had questions, he said. “It was such a relief,” he recalled. “It has helped me so greatly, and I’ve helped other people by doing something that was hard.” Today, Alsabrook is someone others struggling with depression or bipolar call for support. When actor and comedian Robin Williams, who had a long history of depression, committed suicide in August, a few people reached out to Alsabrook for advice. At one time, he too, struggled with suicidal thoughts, he said. “It’s important to have somebody to call,” he said. “I might have saved two or three lives.” Four years ago, Alsabrook discovered the San Diego chapter of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, which meets from 6-8 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays at the VA San Diego Medical Center in La Jolla. Alsabrook soon became a board member and trained facilitator. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance has North County groups in Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, San Marcos and Vista. Last year, Alsabrook launched a group for Del Mar and surrounding communities. He said he started the group because few people from Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley and the surrounding communities participated in the San Diego group. “I know there are people in North County who need support,” Alsabrook said. “Depression and bipolar affects many people.” Major depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. In 2012, an estimated 16 million, or about 6.9 percent of American adults, had at least one major depressive episode. Bipolar disorder affects approximately 5.7 million, or about 2.6 percent of American adults. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance was created for and is led by individuals living with mood disorders to support others living with mood disorders.

Local singer hoping more will take note of ‘Jazz on Cedros’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the Belly Up Tavern a Solana Beach staple for more than 40 years, Cedros Avenue has become a music mecca. Local singer Anna Danes is hoping to attract even more music enthusiasts with her ongoing series, “Jazz on Cedros,” at Carruth Cellars. “Solana Beach has a very vibrant cultural community, especially Cedros Avenue,” said Danes, a Solana Beach resident, who lives on Cedros. “I can’t think of a better location.” In collaboration with Carruth Cellars, “Anna Danes Presents” launched Jazz on Cedros in December. Described as a “sophisticated Happy Hour,” the Dec. 5 event featured singersongwriter Rosemary Watson and Jonathan Belanger, lead singer of San Diego art pop band The Mosaic Quartet. The Jan. 30 event featured crooner David Patrone, as well as jazz vocalists Carmelia Bell and Arnessa Rickette. “The first two events were very well-received,” said Danes, who emcees every event and performs a selection of songs. “We sold
out in a matter of hours and had waitlists for both.” Slated for March 13, the next Jazz on Cedros event will feature Danes, jazz singer Kendra Tucker and soul singer Ayanna Hobson. A male vocalist is also being scheduled for the event. “It’s a really fun way to experience new music and discover talent,” Danes said. Danes herself is relatively new to the music scene. Born in Gdansk, Poland, Danes was 10 years old when her family escaped Communist rule and fled to Sweden. The family later settled in Canada after her father landed an engineer position in Ottawa. While adapting to a different culture and learning English and French, Danes also struggled with her parents’ divorce. She used music to escape and joined a Polish church choir in Ottawa. Until recently, that was the only music experience she had. Danes earned her bachelor’s degree in ancient history and archaeology from the University of Ottawa and studied law at the University of Windsor. She practiced family and estate law
Last spring, Danes released her debut album, “Longing,” which features mostly jazz covers and two original songs. Since then, she has performed at local venues and planned Jazz on Cedros. Because the series has been so successful, she hopes to collaborate with artists from other genres and bring the series to other local venues. “Because people have been really receptive, we’re looking to grow the idea,” said Danes, who is also working on her second
album. “We want to keep people entertained and the show flowing all night.” The March 13 event takes place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Carruth Cellars, 320 S. Cedros Ave., Suite 400, in Solana Beach. Tickets cost $10. To purchase tickets, visit jazzoncedros3. eventbrite.com. For information about Danes or to buy her album, visit www.annadanes.com.
‘Chapter Two’ lights up stage at North Coast Repertory Singer Anna Danes. Photo by Jon Clark as an attorney in Toronto before relocating to California 14 years ago. Since then, she has become a business owner and mother. A few years ago, when her then 7-year-old daughter refused to sing during the voice lessons she purchased at an auction, Danes stepped in. That’s when she realized music was her true passion.
North Coast Rep promises audiences plenty of laughs and a few knowing sighs when the lights come up on “Chapter Two,” written by America’s favorite playwright, Neil Simon. Based on events in Simon’s life, this charming comedy revolves around the recently widowed George and his neighbor, the recently divorced Jennie. Neither of these bruised souls is eager to reconnect with the opposite sex. Their journey of meeting, dating and forming a relationship is laced with Neil Simon’s golden touch. Romantic, rueful, touching and funny, this play is certain to delight and entertain. Reserve your seats now for the play The New York Times called “snappy, funny and movingly honest.” Artistic Director David Ellenstein is wearing two hats for this production — as co-director with Christopher Williams and as the bewildered George. The stellar cast includes Jacqueline Ritz, Louis Lotorto, and Mhari Sandoval. “Chapter Two” previews begin Feb. 25. Opening night at 8 p.m. Feb. 28 includes a post-show reception. The show will play at 7 p.m. Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 2 p.m. matinees Saturdays and Sundays, and at 7 p.m. Sundays, through March 22.There will be a special talk-back on March 6, with the cast and artistic director.

Artist to showcase international paintings in Solana Beach home BY KRISTINA HOUCK From the California coast to the French countryside, John Modesitt travels across the country and around the world to paint scenic surroundings. “I get restless and need new scenes,” said Modesitt, who has lived with his wife, Toshiko, in Solana Beach for more than 20 years. “There’s a lot to see.” Beginning Valentine’s Day, Modesitt is holding a five-day exhibit, his first since his weeklong September show. The latest exhibit will feature about 50 new paintings, inspired by his late fall and early winter excursions. Modesitt recently spent about a month traveling through France. He painted the French countryside and canals from the Loire Valley to Burgundy, and from the French Alps to the Swiss Alps. After returning to the U.S., he spent two weeks painting the coast of California and the mountains of Colorado and Montana. “If you like Impressionism, you’re going to love this show,” Modesitt said. “It’s going to be a major exhibition.” Modesitt developed his love of Impressionism at an early age. Although his father worked as a nuclear physicist, he was passionate about art and had a poster collection of French impressionist paintings, which fascinated Modesitt as a young child. He went on to spend decades studying Impressionism, a 19th-century art movement Solana Beach artist John Modesitt painting in France. that originated with a group of Paris-based artists. “Impressionism is all about the light,” Modesitt said. “Painting outdoors and the impressionist techniques that I use — it’s the only way you can get a feeling of light and atmosphere.” Modesitt began studying art at Santa Barbara City College under painter Robert Frame. By the early 1980s, he had moved to the East Coast to learn about the work of renowned Impressionist painters featured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Art Institute of Chicago. Since then, Modesitt’s work has also been displayed on walls across the world. His
‘Burgundy Canal Boats’ is one of dozens of new paintings by Solana Beach artist John Modesitt. paintings have been featured at the Butler Institute of American Art Museum, the New Britain Museum of American Art, and the auction rooms of Christie’s in New York, London and Paris. Modesitt’s paintings are on display in the Waterhouse Gallery in Santa Barbara. His work is also featured in a group show at the Olaf Wieghorst Museum in El Cajon. Modesitt’s favorite time of year, however, is when he welcomes the public to view his work at his studio, which is in his Solana Beach home. Modesitt typically holds two homebased shows each year. His latest will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 14-18. “These paintings have never been seen before,” he said. “This show has a lot of color and energy and hope.” At 3 p.m. on Valentine’s Day, he will do a painting demonstration, relying mostly on his imagination. The painting will be available for auction with proceeds benefiting the winning bidder’s charity of choice. If you are interested in seeing the collection, call Modesitt at 858-232-8906 or email him at paintings@sbcglobal.net.

American Idol winner David Cook to perform at Belly Up Feb. 23 BY ROB LEDONNE It’s a Wednesday afternoon in Nashville, and David Cook is wrapping up rehearsals for his upcoming American tour, which takes him to Solana Beach’s Belly Up on Feb. 23. “Today’s kind of a getloose day,” he explained. “We’ve been doing a lot of tech stuff. Adding visual elements like lighting — stuff that makes us look cooler than we really are.” In reality, Cook doesn’t have to try hard to be cool. As the winner of the seventh season of the Fox favorite “American Idol,” Cook beat thousands of competitors to join a select few as the best singer in the land. “I won when I was 25,” he remembered of his run on the show in 2008. “I still don’t know if I’ve gotten used to whatever has happened since. From age zero to 25, I had one life, and then boom, it changed. I had to completely rewire from scratch. I’m eternally thankful it happened.” In the past seven years, Cook has maintained a good relationship with the show and still has fond memories of his experience. “They’ve been great about being open as a platform,” he explained. “Everyone from the show has this incredible connection that will last for the rest of our lives. From on the stage to behind the scenes, it’s a small-family vibe.” Winning the popular series propelled Cook’s music career into the stratosphere, from smash hit songs (like the Top 40 “Light On”), to two hit albums, and a variety of tours. Throughout his success, Cook has found plenty of inspiration for new material, including moving to Nashville from his home in suburban Kansas City.
OPERA’S ULTIMATE BAD BOY!
‘American Idol’ winner David Cook performs Feb. 23 at the Belly Up Tavern. “I’ve lived in both Kansas and Los Angeles,” he said. “While I loved them, I’ve found that Nashville has a mix of things I need for work and reminds me of Kansas as well. From the Southern vibe to good barbecue, and the fact that the creative community is more open as well.” Along with writing and recording material for himself, Cook is also supporting a side career as a blossoming songwriter for other artists. This past November, a song he wrote for country music singer David Nail called “Kiss Me Tonight” was included on Nail’s latest album. “I’ve always wanted to write for other people,” Cook said. “When I first came out here, I wrote ‘Kiss Me Tonight’ during my third writing session and it’s snowballed from there. Wearing different hats fulfills me creatively.” When Cook rolls into the Belly Up come Feb. 23, fans should expect a mix of his hits, songs he’s written for other artists, and some brand-new material from his next album, which is set for release later this year. “We wrote and recorded in my home studio and every day was enjoyable and fun,” said Cook of the as-yet-unreleased tracks. “Even if we didn’t come up with anything, I knew I was at least going to have a good time doing it. What I love is that there’s a song on this new record for everybody. I wanted to make a creative album I can be proud of, and I think we accomplished that.” As for performing at the Belly Up, Cook has a fondness for the venue — and San Diego in general. “When I was living in Los Angeles, whenever I had down time, I would take the trip downstate to San Diego,” he says. “The weather’s great and the people are fantastic, so I’m really looking forward to coming back.” According to Cook, the arduous lifestyle of touring becomes worth it when everything comes together. “As a performer, there’s nothing better than walking into a well-puttogether venue. A good band, a good show, and a good crowd is a really addictive combination.” The doors open at 7 p.m. on Feb. 23 and the show begins at 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.bellyup.com or www.davidcookofficial.com.

Painter serious about infusing humor into his work BY JOE TASH David Wiemers came to painting later in life, after a successful career as a producer and writer of TV shows in Hollywood. But when he began to interact with the art world, he found things a bit stuffy and highbrow, such as the label of “fine art� tossed around liberally by galleries and websites. As he was designing his own website, Wiemers said, “Fine art didn’t seem like it was me at all. I thought, we’ve all got to lighten up a little bit. I crossed out ‘fine’ and put ‘pretty good.’ And I was comfortable with that.� His approach, said Wiemers, is to bring humor to his art and to the way he promotes his work. “Everybody with their fine art, they take themselves too seriously. I’m gonna be the guy who cuts up a little bit,� he said. Last month, the 61-year-old La Jolla resident opened a one-man show at the Encinitas Community Center, called, “I Dare You Not Artist David Wiemers calls his work ‘pretty good’ art instead of ‘fine’ art.

‘West Side Story’ revival at Spreckels Theatre to hit some different notes BY ROB LEDONNE “West Side Story,” the renowned New York City-set musical that centers on the epic rivalry between the Sharks and Jets street gangs and features a host of familiar songs, is coming to San Diego in an all-new interpretation by the San Diego Musical Theatre. Kicking off Feb. 13 for a three-week run, the production is the nonprofit’s first of the year, taking place at its new home in the Spreckels Theatre. “I’m very excited about this,” said Jessica Soza, who plays Maria in the musical. “This is Broadway-level in every regard. The acting is unbelievable and the dancing is crazy good. This is how you want to experience it.” Soza should know. As a San Diego Musical Theatre’s production of ‘West Side former resident of Fontana, Calif., who is a graduate of Story’ will run from Feb. 13 to March 1 at the Spreckels Los Angeles’ American Musi- Theatre. Jessica Soza (top, center) is shown above with cal and Dramatic Academy, some of the show’s cast members. she’s reprising her role in San Diego after going on the musical’s international tour last year. “I was so excited that this was coming to San Diego, since a lot of my family couldn’t see me do the show while I was in Europe,” she said. “This production is probably the best collaboration of people in Southern California. It’s such a high standard of quality. Plus, other than the dancing and singing, I think people will be moved by the message of the show.” For Soza, being cast in both the international and San Diego productions of the musical couldn’t have come at a better time. “Before I auditioned, I was ready to give it all up,” she explained of the difficult world of being an actress. “Luckily, I landed the part and it wound up changing my life. It’s good to be home now and ride the coattails of this show. It’s the only one I have no problem doing over and over again.” It didn’t hurt that Soza had months of performances of the international version under her belt when it came time to audition for the San Diego production. “I had a lot to bring to the table since I was playing this part for so long,” Soza pointed out. “At the same time, I was ready to strip the part down and learn a new way of doing it.” The first-ever production of “West Side Story” hit Broadway in 1957, and since then the show has been revived numerous times, most recently in 2009. Audiences perhaps best know the 1961 film version, which starred Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno and won 10 Academy Awards that year, including Best Picture. Soza notes that the movie version differs from the Broadway show. “I haven’t seen the movie in a long time because I wanted to find my own character,” she said. “But there was some editing to the story and songs in the movie that the musical expands on and will be neat for people to experience.” After weeks of rehearsals, she said she and her cast and crew are ready. “I can’t wait,” Soza said. “I’m so grateful for this opportunity.” San Diego Musical Theatre’s production of “West Side Story” runs from Feb. 13-March 1.

La Paloma hosts world music March 1 with Yemen Blues and Ravid Kahalani The Center for Jewish Culture in collaboration with the House of Israel and A Culture of Peace will present Yemen Blues — with Ravid Kahalani in a San Diego premiere performance. The show, sponsored by the Leichtag Foundation, will be at 7:30 p.m. March 1 at the La Paloma Theatre in Encinitas. Hailed by Time Out Chicago as “one of the most exciting bands in world music right now,” Yemen Blues creates a joyous sound that mixes Yemenite, West African and jazz influences. Yemenite vocalist and composer Kahalani leads a rare combination of musicians from New York, Uruguay and Tel Aviv to produce thoroughly original music that ranges from blues to funk and mambo to African soul. Yemen Blues is about creating what Kahalani calls “moments of soul,” swooping from clear falsetto into a gravelly baritone, switching from Yemenite Arabic to Hebrew to Haitian Creole. Tickets are on sale now through the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. Visit www.sdcjc.org/pas or call the box office at 858-362-1348. The La Paloma Theatre is not selling tickets for Yemen Blues. Tickets are $20 for JCC members and $25 for the general public. La Paloma Theatre is at 471 S. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas.

To Your Health: Leading cause of death among women not breast cancer, but heart disease BY PAUL TEIRSTEIN, M.D. It’s the leading cause of death among women, and it’s not breast cancer or any other type of cancer. It’s heart disease, and it takes the life of one woman in the United States every minute, according to the American Heart Association. Yet many women worry less about heart disease than cancer— even though nearly twice as many women die from heart disease than all forms of cancer combined. Women may underestimate their risk because of the common misconception that heart disease primarily affects men. While it is true that more men than women die from heart disease, the death rate among men has steadily declined during the past 25 years. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for women. In fact, women age 45 and older are more likely than men to die within a year of their first heart attack, according to the American Heart Association. So why does heart disease affect men and women differently? There are a number of reasons why heart disease affects the sexes differently, and we are learning more about them every day: • Hormones, especially estrogen, may play a role in protecting women from heart disease since a woman’s risk for heart disease increases after menopause. • Heart size and strength may be another factor. The right ventricle of the heart is responsible for pumping blood to the lungs to collect oxygen. If the right ventricle becomes weakened, the risk of heart problems increases. According to a study reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, the right ventricle is smaller in women than in men, so it may be more vulnerable. • Research also tends to overlook gender differences. Women traditionally have been underrepresented in research studies, and cardiovascular clinical trials report sexspecific results only about 25 percent of the time. As a result, it can be challenging to determine how gender may influence results. Do women have different heart attack symptoms from men? Yes. Both men and women may feel chest pain or break out in a cold sweat during a heart attack, but that is where most of the similarities end. The differences are most evident in the symptoms leading up to the heart attack and women tend to have subtler symptoms. These may begin up to a month before a heart attack and include: • Fatigue or weakness • Pain, pressure, or tightness in the center of the chest • Pain that spreads to the upper body, neck or jaw
• Unusual sweating, nausea or vomiting • Sudden dizziness • Shortness of breath • Problems sleeping Because many of these symptoms can be associated with common illnesses such as the flu, women are more likely to brush them off or assume something less serious is going on. If you experience these symptoms, don’t ignore them. Play it safe and call 911. The sooner you get treatment, the greater the chances of recovery. How can women lower their risk of heart disease? From making smart lifestyle choices to working with their doctors, there are a number of steps women can take to reduce their risk. You hear a lot about eating a “hearthealthy” low-fat diet and managing your cholesterol levels, but what does that really mean? There are two types of cholesterol: LDL and HDL. • LDL stands for low-density lipoprotein and is the “bad” cholesterol that can clog your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease. Saturated fats like those in beef and full-fat dairy can increase LDL cholesterol, while polyunsaturated fats from plants like avocados and walnuts can help lower it. • HDL cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein, is the “good” cholesterol that helps remove LDL cholesterol and protect the arteries. • Build your diet around foods that help keep HDL high and LDL low, and talk to your doctor about how often to have your cholesterol levels checked. Other helpful tips: • Exercise can also help lower LDL cholesterol and strengthen your heart. Aim to get about 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. • Obviously, avoid tobacco smoke. • Finally, partner with your physician. Follow his or her recommendations for diet, exercise and medications, if needed, to help ensure your heart is as healthy as possible. Paul Teirstein, M.D., is director of the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute, opening in March on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, 9888 Genesee Ave. The public is invited to the free grand opening celebration from 10 a.m.2 p.m. March 1.

Parents gather to toast upcoming Vineyard Knights The Bishop’s School Vineyard Knights Wine Reception was held Jan. 25 at the La Jolla home of Abbaseh Samimi and Kaveh Kohani. Guests donated bottles of fine wine for the upcoming Vineyard Knights silent auction April 18. Held on the school campus, the gala is a benefit for the school’s student need-based financial aid and faculty professional growth programs. “The setting overlooking the La Jolla Country Club was ideal,” said co-chair Susie Piegza. “We had a beautiful sunset followed by a star-filled evening sky. It was a wonderful night in which the Bishop’s community was able to get together in a relaxed atmosphere. We truly appreciate the wonderful vendors who helped to make the evening perfect. … If this of indication of what’s to come, we cannot wait for the main event, Vineyard Knights!” Photos by studio m la jolla

The Grauer School presents Twain farce ‘Is He Dead?’ The Grauer School’s High School Drama Department will be performing Mark Twain’s play, “Is He Dead?” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, Friday, Feb. 20, and Saturday, Feb. 21. “Is He Dead?” recounts a fictional story of the non-fictional painter, Jean-Francois Millet, who succumbs to pressure from his friends to stage his own death in hopes of increasing the value of his paintings. The devious plot is fully realized with the aid of mistaken identities, cross-dressing, a funeral and a kind of madness that is almost surreal, yet is based on real premises. Erin Langen, theatre arts program director for The Grauer School, explained why she chose this particular piece: “When I read ‘Is He Dead?,’ I knew that I had a group of actors ‘Is He Dead?’ recounts a fictional story of that would not only have fun with this script, a nonfictional painter who stages his but would also be up for the challenge of perown death to inflate the value of his forming a farce.” Langen has a theater arts degree from the paintings. University of San Francisco and previously taught at Guajome Park Academy in Vista, where she created a Middle School Theatre Arts program before accepting a position at The Grauer School in 2011. During her time at Grauer, she has directed productions of “Much Ado About Nothing” and “He Who Gets Slapped.” This year’s cast is the largest to date with 15 cast members and support from the entire Visual and Performing Arts Department. All showings of “Is He Dead?” are open to the public and appropriate for all ages. Tickets will be on sale at the door for $5. The Grauer School is at 1500 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas.

The De Anza chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution held a presentation ceremony for the local student awardees of its American History Essay Contest on Feb. 7 at the Church of the Nativity in Rancho Santa Fe. The ceremony was followed by a Colonial Tea. The ceremony included some elements of Ellis Island, as this year’s essay prompt was in honor of the 125th anniversary of the opening of the immigration processing facility at Ellis Island in 1892. As guests arrived, they were greeted by signs in foreign languages “directing” them, along with helpful “agents” speaking to them in incomprehensible tongues. This part of the event was designed to give the students some sense of what arriving in America may have been like for non-English speakers. During the Tea, the students tried to match the signs with languages and translations. The event also included Ellis Island trivia questions for students to answer during the ceremony, with chocolate bar rewards for correct answers. Photos by McKenzie Images.

Ten Smart Ways to Reduce Your Water Usage Even though in Rancho Santa Fe we’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy some muchneeded rain, we are still in a serious drought. This means water conservation is still a high priority, and water restrictions continue to be in full force. Not only do plants need less water now that we are experiencing cooler temperatures, there are also items you can
implement now that will conserve water and ensure that your landscape is being watered at maximum efficiency. 1. Perform an irrigation audit. Check each sprinkler head for proper coverage, alignment and spacing, and adjust to eliminate overspray. 2. Check for leaks. Turn off all water and look to see if the water meter is still running. Even the slightest movement in your water meter will indicate a leak. The most common leaks are irrigation valves that don’t completely shut off, dripping faucets, and toilets that run. 3.Convert to drip irrigation. Using a drip system in your planting beds is a quick and easy way to conserve water. Drip systems are commonly 50%-75% more efficient than a conventional spray system.
4. Convert to low precipitation rotor heads. These low-flow heads will reduce runoff which saves water. 5. Add a pressure regulator. If your water pressure is higher than your sprinkler system is designed for, you will benefit from a pressure regulator. Without one, you may be wasting gallons of water to “fogging” each time you irrigate. Fogging occurs when high pressure causes much of the water to be too light to fall on the lawn or planter bed and evaporate as mist, or to be carried off in even a light wind. Additionally, if your water pressure is too high, it may be causing excess wear and tear on your pipe, valves and sprinkler heads. 6. Mulch planting beds. Adding mulch to your planting beds will reduce loss of soil
moisture due to evaporation. A 2-3” layer of mulch will keep your soil cooler and also hinder weed seed from germinating. 7. Adjust your irrigation schedule. To do this, turn off your irrigation system altogether, and only turn it on again once you start to see wilt in your thirstiest plants. The thirstiest plants become your “indicator” plants. Repeat this process and then reset your irrigation schedule to match only what your plants need. You may find that three, or even two times a week is too often for most wellestablished plants.

It is rated G and includes songs you will recognize from the movie such as ‘I Know Things Now,’ ‘Giants in the Sky,’ ‘Steps of the Palace’ and ‘Stay with Me.’” The pre-show features children as young as 5 performing beloved songs such as “Reflections” from “Mulan” and “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” from “Frozen,” she added. “Into the Woods Jr.” features Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairy tale that brings together Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk), and the Witch, performed by the theater school’s teen actors ages 11-18. Tickets for the shows (2 p.m. Feb. 14 and 6 p.m. Feb. 15) at North Coast Rep in Solana Beach are $20 for adults and $16 for children age 17 and under, with group rates available. A portion of the proceeds will fund the school’s community outreach, like their Behind the Mask program, which provided acting and writing workshops to San Pasqual Union Elementary School students, and supported a bullying awareness program at Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach. “Funding has been scarce for these programs, so we are hoping to be able to expand our offerings to the schools,” Sullivan Crews said. Supporting a cause or issue related to the theme of each theatre school production is a critical part of the school’s mission. Productions have supported literacy, Holocaust remembrance, the deaf community and girls’ education in the Middle East. “Our young actors need to know there is more to life than the stage, and my hope is that they all realize they can use their gifts to create change in their homes, communities and around the world,” said Sullivan Crews. “It amazes me to think that if each one of our 30 actors changes just one person’s perspective, gives one person hope, it can begin an avalanche of helping.” North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach.

Local sculptor creates tribute to Sojourner Truth at UCSD BY WILL BOWEN Isabella (Bell) Baumfree (1797-1883), who took the name Sojourner Truth when she became a leader in the anti-slavery and women’s suffrage movements of the early 19th century, has been immortalized in bronze with a statue in her honor at Thurgood Marshall College on the UCSD campus. AfricanAmerican artist and educator Manuelita Brown, a long-time admirer of Truth, created the work. Truth born Sculptor Manuelita Brown was into slavery at work on ‘Sojourner on a Dutch Truth.’ Photos by WC farm in Brown. Swartekill, New York, in 1797, where she spoke only Dutch until she was 6 years old. She grew into a muscular, 6-foot-tall woman on the farm. Her physical strength, which rivaled that of men, was honed by performing hard work, such as plowing and hoeing fields. At some point in time, she lost her right index finger in a farming accident.
In 1826, at age 29, Truth escaped from slavery with an infant daughter, who was one of five children she bore. Another one of her daughters had already been taken from her and sold into slavery. After her escape, Truth was able to retrieve a son from the farm through a court case, making her the first black woman to accomplish this. Truth soon joined the company of abolitionists and woman’s rights advocates and became a speaker on tour for these causes. One of her most famous speeches, titled “Ain’t I A Woman,” was given in May 29, 1851 at the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. In this speech, she lobbied for equal pay for equal work for women. In another famous speech, Truth called for the vote for women, noting that as a woman she could own land and pay taxes, but could not vote. At another speaking engagement, she bared her breasts to the audience when a heckler accused her of being a man in disguise. During the Civil War, Truth recruited black soldiers for the Union Army. After the war ended, she lobbied for land grants for freed slaves. Her activities were so important that Abraham Lincoln invited her to visit him at the White House. The commission for the Truth installation came about by happenstance. Manuelita Brown’s husband, Willie C. Brown, a UCSD professor emeritus in the biology department, was meeting with UCSD literature professor Jorge Mariscal. Mariscal mentioned that his students in the “Dimensions of Culture” series were lob-

bying for a sculpture of Sojourner Truth on campus. Brown said his wife was working on just such a sculpture in her Encinitas studio, and a deal was struck to bring it to campus. Manuelita Brown has other sculptures on campus. She did the Triton Fountain in front of the Price Center in 2008, and before that, a small bust of Chief Justice Marshall that stands in front of the Marshall College Administration Building. Brown also created the eight dolphins in the fountains at the UTC Westfield Mall in 1999, and more recently, a sculpture of a young girl, which is located in Encinitas.
About the artist Brown grew up in Vienna, Va., on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. Her father, a cab driver, died when she was 16, leaving her mother, a civil service worker, to support her and her two sisters. She said her first encounter with prejudice came when her Girl Scout troop was denied permission to march and carry the American flag in a parade at the Capital because the troop contained black members. Brown sold her first work of art, a bottle she painted, for 50 cents when she was 8 years old. Recently, the owner of the bottle returned it to her as a keepsake. But even though she had artistic sensibilities, Brown said she dreamed of becoming an engineer to build bridges and roads. After high school, she was given a scholarship to Virginia State, but since it did not have an engineering major, she elected to study math. At college, she met and married Willy Brown, her husband of 54 years. After his graduation, they moved to Oregon so he could pursue a master’s degree at Oregon State, which is where Brown finished her B.A. in math. After a stint in the military, the Browns returned to Oregon State where Willy completed a Ph.D. in microbiology. After a post doc at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, he was hired to teach at UCSD. While her husband taught at UCSD, Brown taught high school math at Torrey Pines and San Dieguito high schools and completed a master’s degree in psychology at UCSD. Although Brown stills dreams of building road and bridges, she’s chosen sculpture as an avocation because “it lasts!” Her inspirations are artists Rodin and Malliol. Brown first creates her sculptures out of clay or wax. The figures are then sent to the foundry where molds are made and molten bronze poured into them. Usually a sculpture is made in parts, then welded together and painted with special chemicals to bring out different colors. Besides pursuing her artwork, Brown is very keen on the importance of education. “I believe in public education,” she said. “That’s the only way to have a good society. You can not have a good society if you reserve education only for the well-to-do.” UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla said Brown’s “Sojourner Truth” statue is an important addition to the campus because it will “serve to stimulate conversation about who she was and what she stood for and the need to continually address racial and gender equality.” Brown thinks her sculpture will “remind people of what they can accomplish with a superior education.” For more information about Manuelita Brown’s work, visit manuelitabrown.com.

Concierge Auctions returns to RSF to sell ‘Casa Del Sol’ family compound Casa Del Sol, a masterplanned family compound located on over eight pristine acres within the community of Rancho Santa Fe, will sell at auction on Feb. 26 through leading luxury real estate auction firm Concierge Auctions. Previously listed for $36.5 million, the stunning estate — comprised of four home structures, including a full Roman spa — will be sold to the highest bidder without reserve in cooperation with K. Ann Brizolis of Pacific Sotheby’s International and Markus Canter and Cristie St. James of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “Set on eight acres of lush tropical landscape, and accented with waterfalls and fragrant fruit trees, Casa Del Sol is a oasis of tranquility and refinement,” Brizolis said. “Amenities overflow here, and its ornate details are equally as exquisite as they are unique. This auction presents an unprecedented opportunity to acquire a Rancho Santa Fe trophy property at your own bid price.” The Casa Del Sol auction marks the third in the Rancho Santa Fe community for Concierge Auctions in less than six months. In August 2014, the firm sold El Milagro, a nine-acre estate with award-winning golf course access and private hiking and horseback riding trails, for $14.3 million. And in November 2014, Rancho Las Brisas, a 10,000-acreplus, gated community residence, sold to the highest bidder for $5.032 million. Located just four miles from Pacific Ocean beaches and 30 minutes from downtown San Diego, Casa Del Sol enables entertaining on
a monumental scale. Disguised amidst lush palms, fruit tress and rose gardens are four unique structures: a 9,000-squarefoot main residence; a 2,500-square-foot guest home; a 2,500-square-foot Roman spa and steam room; and a 1,500-square-foot staff residence, along with two pavilions housing a fitness center and loggia. All are designed in a perfect mix of elegant European grace and effortless indooroutdoor living that defines the Rancho Santa Fe lifestyle. In addition to floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views, soaring ceilings, multiple fireplaces and collapsing walls that truly bring the outdoors in, Casa Del Sol boasts a 13-seat movie theater, an entertainment room with a bowling alley, a fitness center and a dog grooming station. Outdoors, a pavilion awaits, complete with a resort-style pool and cabana, a kitchen, fire pit and Buddha bar and lounge. Two 1,000-foot-long driveways also lead way to a 10-car garage. The compound was built to accommodate large parties, as evidenced by its live outdoor performance stage. The palm court lawn, which is surrounded by a rose garden, seats up to 500 guests, and, when tented, the north-south facing tennis court seats an additional 500, if needed. All of this in addition to elaborate gardens, lagoons, waterfalls and walking paths that can be found throughout the property. Rancho Santa Fe, one of the wealthiest communities in the world, has been described as the definitive “best kept secret” of luxury residential areas – comparable to other beachside communities like the Hamptons and Malibu in quality of life, but without the crowds and temperamental weather. It is home to the top school district in the San Diego area, just miles from the beach, ocean and the world-renowned Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, a par 72 course designed by master architect Max Behr. Residents also enjoy just a 10-minute drive to the world-famous Del Mar Race Track, and world-class shopping and restaurants that rest at the center of Rancho Santa Fe. For those who prefer participating, Casa Del Sol is part of The Covenant, a private community within Rancho Santa Fe that has access to a riding club, garden club and 60 miles of horse trails that weave throughout the rolling hills of this community. “Casa Del Sol is a one-of-a-kind — a true Southern California oasis. It’s sophisticated, grand, and nothing short of an entertainer’s paradise,” said Concierge Auctions Founder and President Laura Brady. “We pioneered the auction space for one-of-a-kind, ultra-luxury homes and are accustomed to identifying buyers at this price point. Plus, having sold two other Rancho Santa Fe homes in recent months, it’s clear that savvy clients in this market understand and trust our platform. We look forward to yet another success as we find the next owner of Casa Del Sol.” The auction of Casa Del Sol, located at 15651 Puerta Del Sol Road, will be held live on Feb. 26. A 2 percent commission is offered to the buyer’s representing broker. The property will be open for preview daily from 2-4 p.m. and by appointment. See Auction Terms and Conditions for full details.
