American coots create problems on local links •Fairbanks Ranch Country Club uses both lethal and non-lethal means to deal with migratory birds, prompting some complaints. The Torrey Pines High School Foundation is preparing for its spring fundraiser, “Pump Up the Volume,” to be held at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on March 23 from 5- 8 p.m. The kickoff event for the spring fundraiser,“Toast to Torrey,” was held Feb. 1 at the Rancho Santa Fe home of Sophia and Louay Alsadek.

BY JOE TASH The Fairbanks Ranch Country Club and its 27hole golf course are home to some 150 different types of wildlife, including golden eagles, hawks, mallards and ospreys. But one species in particular, the American coot, a black water bird with a distinctive white beak, causes major headaches. “We’re dealing with a sanitation issue,” said Steve Wittert, general manager of the private club, which is on San Dieguito Road in Rancho Santa Fe. The migratory coot population, which can number in the thousands of birds each year, defecates on golf course greens and tee areas, making a mess and triggering complaints from club members. “There is pressure from all of our members to try to move the coots to areas that are out of play,” said Wittert. The problem is so bad that the club has applied for and received a “depredation

permit” from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which allows the use of lethal means to dispose of up to 350 coots per year. The club also has tried, and continues to use, a variety of non-lethal means to keep the coots away from high-traffic areas of the course, Wittert said. Club personnel use shotguns to kill the birds during their winter and spring migratory season, generally from November through April, and notify law enforcement each time, Wittert said. The blasts take place once a week or so, in the early morning, and have prompted sporadic complaints from neighbors. The San Diego Humane Society and SPCA have also criticized the practice. “We’re just trying to maintain a balance between happy members and a sanitary environment and happy neighbors. And it’s not the easiest balance at all times,” Wittert said.

Rick Emmerson, who lives on a bluff in the Rancho Del Mar neighborhood above the 274-acre country club, said he has been hearing the early morning gunshots for several years, and has spoken to club officials about it. He said the club was cooperative in agreeing to conduct its coot eradication efforts slightly later in the morning. Along with the noise, Emmerson said he is concerned about possible fire danger from the shotgun blasts, as well objecting on humanitarian grounds. “I don’t think there’s any good reason for a death sentence to be issued when there are non-lethal means available” to control the birds, Emmerson said. Emmerson contacted the San Diego Humane Society, which researched the issue and determined there were no regulations prohibiting the practice of shoot-

Rancho Santa Fe Review

The Buzz: Covenant residents: What you need to know now BY ANN BOON, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD PRESIDENT T h i s T h u r s d a y, Feb. 6, there Ann Boon will be a very important open meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors. It will be held at the Garden Club at 9 a.m. Item 1: The purchase of the RSF Garden Club building by the RSF Association. After months of negotiations, the RSF Association board and the RSF Garden Club board have reached an agreement. All the documents have been finalized. At our Thursday meeting the Association board will review all the transaction deal points for the public. The Association board will then vote to approve the formal resolution to purchase the Garden Club building. Once this resolution has been approved, in accordance with our Covenant bylaws, all the members of the Covenant will receive written notification

from the Association explaining the details of the final agreements. If Association members wish to challenge the purchase, they will have 30 days to deliver to the Association office a petition signed by 100 voting members of the Association. Such a petition would cause the Garden Club purchase issue to be submitted to a vote by all Association members. Item 2: Budget Goals Over the past five years, Association expenses have continued to grow while revenues remained basically flat. The Association is looking for ways to balance the needs of the community with revenues to avoid having to increase your assessment. For the past two years, your board has moved nearly $200,000 from the Community Enhancement Fees to the General Services Fees in order to balance the General Services budget. With guidance from the Finance Committee, the board has reviewed all expense categories to attempt to identify where reductions could be made without impacting the level of services you receive. An area that was identi-

fied was compensation, which takes about 70 percent of General Services revenues. The Association provides a very generous benefit package to virtually every employee from the Association Manager to the Parks & Recreation workers. This package comprises fully paid healthcare benefits, including dental and vision insurance, sick leave, paid vacation, and 401k contributions. In fact, if an employee does not use vacation during the year, vacation pay is accrued. There is currently no cap on the amount of vacation that can be carried over from year to year. Excluding the Golf Club, Tennis Club, and Osuna, for the fiscal years ending 2009 through 2013, salaries and wages increased $70,000 to $2,554,000. This is about a 3 percent increase. And on top of that, employee benefits, excluding accrued vacation pay, increased $75,000 to $596,000, about 14 percent. Accrued vacation expense now totals approximately $1,000,000. This brings us to Item 3.

Item 3: Compensation Committee Our current bylaws do not prohibit the entire board or the executive committee from performing the duties of a compensation committee but neither do they specifically call for the establishment of a Compensation Committee. This year our executive committee has acted as a compensation committee, studying all the components of compensation, including salaries and all employee benefits. The intention of the entire board is to bring costs under control so that salaries and benefits are fair to our employees while also remaining sustainable to our members. Our board recognizes that this important goal is an ongoing job. That said, we are proposing that our bylaws specifically authorize every board to create a Compensation Committee from its members. The Compensation Committee would be directly responsible for reviewing and evaluating salaries and employee benefits. The Compensation Committee would report its findings and recommendations to the entire board.

Item 4: Member access to employee compensation information. We will be discussing in open session the kinds of information regarding Association employees’ salaries and benefits that are by law required to be available to Association members. This issue should be clearly understood by all employees and all members. This topic is appropriate and required to be discussed in open session because we will not be discussing specific employee information by individual employee name. In general, according to the Davis-Sterling Act, the California law governing HOAs, with respect to employee compensation: Association members have the right to information concerning the compensation paid to employees, including the general manager, as long as the employees’ job classifications or titles, not the employees’ names, are used. I hope to see you all on Thursday.

Sheriff’s Department issues warning about suspicious phone calls The San Diego Sheriff’s Department (SDSD) has recently received several telephone calls from persons inquiring about suspicious telephone calls they have received. In these calls, a male individual identifies himself as a member the Sheriff’s Department. The caller, who impersonates a peace officer, claims that the person answering the phone or a family member has an outstanding warrant for their arrest, and that an immediate cash payment must be made to avoid arrest. Sheriff Bill Gore said that the SDSD will not call anyone seeking payment for outstanding arrest warrants. Persons are encouraged to report such calls to the Sheriff’s Department at 858-565-5200 or to their local police agency. Anyone with information about this case can call the Sheriff’s Department non-emergency line at (858)565-5200. Callers can remain anonymous and be eligible for up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Call Crime Stoppers at (888)580-8477.

Expert shares tips on Internet safety for teens BY KAREN BILLING As the SafetyNet director for the San Diego Police Foundation, Darlene Kanzler has given hundreds of talks about keeping teens safe online. Often, after hearing tales of best friends sharing incriminating photos, identity thieves, online predators and cyberbullies, both parents and teens remark on being left “scared.” Kanzler agreed that the Internet can sometimes be scary but said it also has value and is an unavoidable part of our lives today. “(Teens) are going to be online every day for the rest of their lives, they just have to be smart about it,” said Kanzler at a talk held at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar on Jan. 29. “They have to learn how to navigate this world.” The San Diego Police Foundation partnered with the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children task force to create the SafetyNet initiative, and in the last two-and-a-half years Kanzler has talked to more than 100,000 children in San Diego about staying safe online. According to a 2009 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, because of their ability to multi-task, teens are on some kind of media device 53 hours a week, and thanks to the Internet and smart phones, teens have unlimited access to their friends and drama. It used to be that when a kid went home for the day, they could get away from a possessive friend or boyfriend or a bully but as Kanzler said, “Now they can carry a bully in their pocket.” Cyberbullying can mean posting photos or rumors, forwarding texts or pictures that are meant to embarrass or posing as someone else online, which is illegal. Kanzler said a good thing for teens to remember is, “if you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say it online.” The best way to handle being cyberbullied or harassed is for teens to tell an adult. While Kanzler said 60 percent of teens say they would not go to their parents if someone was making them uncomfortable online out of embarrassment or fear of having privileges revoked, it’s important for kids to have adults they can talk to when a bad situation arises. “No kid wants to be a snitch but it’s not being a tattletale if someone is getting hurt,” Kanzler said. Adults can help handle cyberbullying situations by blocking communication, blocking the “friend,” changing

numbers or email addresses, saving the abusive texts or reporting abuse to the website. Kanzler said she has found YouTube to be the most responsive in taking down inappropriate material (especially teen violence), but Instagram and Facebook are a little more challenging. Social media savvy The biggest piece of advice Kanzler gives to teens is “Think before you post.” Once you post something to the Internet you do not own it anymore, it is officially out of your control. Kanzler said it’s important to remind children that there is no privacy online; they are not as anonymous as they think they are. “You will be judged for what you say and post so you need to put your best foot forward because people are watching and you don’t know who,” Kanzler said, noting it could be not just a fellow peer but a friend’s parent, a college admissions officer, a potential employer or a member of the general public. A group of teens realized just how true it is that there is no anonymity online in 2012 when they posted racist comments on twitter about President Barack Obama’s re-election. The website Jezebel took the most terrible tweets and researched who the kids were, easily finding them as their accounts were all connected to Facebook and other social media accounts. The site sent their tweets to the students’ schools and places of work. Several were suspended or expelled as they had signed code of conduct contracts at school, one lost a job, and another had a college scholarship revoked. “Remind kids to be respectful online because there are real life consequences for what happens online,” Kanzler said. Kanzler told another story about a kid in Santee who recently thought it would be funny to post a photo of himself posing as a gang member. Members of the gang saw the photo, found him and beat him up — his photo almost cost him his life. Teens need to know that taking and texting nude or explicit photos of themselves is considered child pornography and they can be prosecuted. It doesn’t matter whom the material is meant for, it often ends up in places you would not want it to.

“Once it’s sent, you no longer have a choice as to what happens to it,” Kanzler said. Last year there was a sexting case involving 30 students at seven local schools reportedly including Canyon Crest Academy, Cathedral Catholic High and Carmel Valley Middle School. Kanzler said a dozen girls sent out explicit photos to their boyfriends, which led to the photos being distributed out to many different people. The photos were considered child pornography but criminal charges have not yet been filed. Kids use SnapChat to send photos of themselves, feeling secure in the app’s promise that the photos disappear in three seconds. But even Snapchat photos can be captured in a screen shot, saved and sent wherever, Kanzler said. People have figured out how to bypass the notification system that a photo has been saved. Facetime or Skype conversations can also be recorded and images captured. “There’s no delete in digital,” Kanzler said. Keep personal information private Scams come in all shapes and sizes online — through everything from quizzes to fake contests, thieves and online predators are looking for ways to mine personal information. Kids should know never to share information such as addresses or numbers online, and parents should make sure they understand the privacy settings on the sites they use. The best way to secure accounts is to have good passwords, Kanzler said, thinking beyond “12345.” Use special characters, upper and lowercase, and think longer, up to 15 characters. When playing online games, encourage kids to pick a user name that doesn’t give away their age or location, and to keep conversations with people they’re playing with just about the game because you never know who is really on the other side. New York State started an initiative to get sex offenders off online gaming sites in 2012 and, in one year alone, got 2,100 of them and that was only the ones who used their real names. SafetyNet eLearning is now available online for parents, educators and concerned adults. To view the guide as well as see more helpful tips, visit SmartCyberChoices.org.

RSF Women’s Fund welcomes David Risher of Worldreader.org as guest speaker at Feb. 26 event The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund will welcome David Risher, founder of Worldreader.org, as the guest speaker for its next General Meeting on Feb. 26, which will be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club from 1-2:30 p.m. Risher, a former executive with Amazon, decided to take his passion for books to a whole new level and work to eradicate illiteracy at the same time. The result is Worldreader.org, a nonprofit organization with the goal of placing an e-Reader in the hands of every impoverished student throughout the world. Richer’s inspiration came to him when he volunteered in an Ecuadorian orphanage. He noticed a padlocked building that was filled with books. When he asked why the books were locked away, the director replied, “I lost the key,” and added that the girls at the orphanage had begun to lose interest in those books and new books would take months to arrive. With his experience as an executive at Amazon and also at Microsoft, Risher had the solution for wiping out worldwide illiteracy by providing young readers access to current popular books and interesting reading material. Risher now heads up the nonprofit Worldreader.org. Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund member Star Lerach was present at the launch of Worldreader at the Kibera Girls’ Soccer Academy in Kenya. Worldreader.org has discovered it is faster and less expensive to provide e-Book readers than to ship boatloads of books around the world. The e-Books also provide dictionaries, increase font for sight impairment, text to speech for new readers, locally published books in the native language and even health information. The devices use the same 2G networks common to cell-phone use in the developing world. Also, these E-Book readers give the recipients the power to choose what they want to read. Thanks to the team at Worldreader.org and their corporate partners, a culturally relevant library can now be placed

Deputy Sheriff’s Foundation to host gala in Rancho Santa Fe The San Diego County Deputy Sheriff’s Foundation is holding “Support and Remember,” its first annual fundraising gala, on Feb. 28 at the Del Mar Country Club. The Feb. 28 event will raise funds to support the foundation’s core programs. Support & Remember asks donors to do just that, support and remember San Diego’s law enforcement community. The gala event honors Scripps Health President and CEO Chris Van Gorder for his outstanding leadership in the community, as well as, his benevolence and service worldwide following natural disasters and other catastrophes, such as Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti. Van Gorder also volunteers as a reserve commander with the Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Unit. Foundation President Matt Clay says that Van Gorder was very excited to get involved in this year’s event. “It will be an honor to have Chris as the big draw for Support and Remember as he has been a very big supporter of public safety throughout San Diego County,” says Clay. Others on hand for the event include Sheriff Bill Gore, bestselling author Joseph Wambaugh, the live sounds of recording artist Mario Olivaras and Latin Spice, internationally acclaimed winemaker Jean-Charles Boisset, Brent and Kelly King (parents of Chelsea King and spokespersons for the Chelsea’s Light Foundation), a host of San Diego elected officials, prominent physicians and business leaders, and other distinguished guests. The Deputy Sheriff’s Foundation, which is the nonprofit charitable foundation associated with the Deputy Sheriff’s Association of San Diego County, began in 2004 for the purpose of providing support to widows and children of law enforcement personnel who die in the line of duty. The foundation now provides sickness and distress assistance to San Diego County Sheriff’s Deputies and their families who are

Hugh Hewitt to speak at next Viewpoints event in RSF Are you often tired of hearing about politics and often wish you could hear about what makes interesting people tick? Then you will want to attend the next Viewpoints event to hear from someone who has interviewed over 10,000 interesting people from both sides of the isle and from various stations in life. Hugh Hewitt will be the one providing that perspective when he speaks to the community on Feb. 23. Hugh Hewitt is a lawyer, law professor and Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist. He is best known as the host of his nationally-syndicated radio show which has an audience estimated at more than 2 million listeners every week and is heard in more than 120 cities across the United States. Hewitt has been a frequent guest on CNN, Fox News Network, and MSNBC, and has written for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times. He has received three Emmys for his work as co-host of the Life & Times program, a nightly news and public affairs program that aired on the Los Angeles PBS affiliate, KCET, from 1992 until 2007. He is the author of a dozen books, including two New York Times bestsellers. Hewitt is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Michigan Law School, and has been teaching Constitutional Law at Chapman University Law School since it opened in 1995. Hewitt realizes that every single day we think about our happiness, or the happiness of those we’re close to. Hewitt’s reflections on those he has interviewed over the years – pundits, authors and government officials from both parties – has resulted in the realization that those who were the most enjoyable to speak with are those who are happy despite their station in life. It is his reflections on individuals such as Christopher Hitchens, Michael Dell, and Justice Stephen Breyer, as well as on those he has encountered in his personal life, that has resulted in a list that Hewitt suggests are keys to happiness. Please join Viewpoints to hear Hewitt speak in the Fellowship Center at the Village Church on Sunday, Feb. 23. The evening will begin with wine and light hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will include time for audience questions.

Local cancer survivor inspires others as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Captain Challengeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ironman competitor BY KRISTINA HOUCK Fourteen hours and 55 minutes. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how long it took Daniel Powell to finish the Ironman World Championship Oct. 12 in Kona, Hawaii. Although the Solana Beach triathlete had previously completed the endurance swim, cycle and run event in less than 13 hours, his latest Ironman World Championship was his biggest achievement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was two hours off my fastest pace, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the experience,â&#x20AC;? said 54-year-old Powell, who has lived in Solana Beach since 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very satisfying. It was my slowest time, but my most rewarding.â&#x20AC;? Powell competed in his first Half Ironman in 1994 and his first Ironman triathlon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which includes a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile marathon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 2000. A 15-time Ironman competitor, he finished 12 Ironmans in five years while in his 40s. In 2007, however, he was 17 miles into the marathon portion of an Ironman in South Korea when he found himself in too much pain. He quit. Three months later, he was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer. The Oct. 12 competition was a major milestone for Powell. It was his first time returning to the sport since he was diagnosed with cancer, had four surgeries and underwent more than a year of radiation and chemotherapy therapies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever compete to be in the top 10 or even the top 100, but just to be part of it was a celebration of life,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In life you get knocked down in many ways â&#x20AC;&#x201D; physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and with Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace and Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength, you carry on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discouragement is all around. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everywhere you look. If I can inspire just one person that may be diagnosed or is depressed or challenged in any way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfying. It was my slowest time, but my most satisfying just to be out there participating.â&#x20AC;? A San Diego native, Powell graduated from Point Loma High School. In 1991, he earned a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in business administration with an emphasis in entrepreneurship from USC Marshall School of Business. As a child, he played baseball. He was on the football

team in high school. But Powell didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start running until he was in college. In 1980, he competed in his first half marathon at 21 years old. At first, he ran just to compete. Then he became involved with the Challenged Athletes Foundation and began competing for charity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got involved because of the triathlon side of things, but I stayed involved because all the money that was raised was going to people who were in the shadows at the time,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. Established in 1997, the San Diego-based nonprofit organization helps athletes with disabilities achieve their fitness and sports goals. On Oct. 20, just eight days after finishing the Ironman World Championship, Powell participated in the nonprofit organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20th annual San Diego Triathlon Challenge. Nearly 300 challenged athletes from around the country participated side-by-side with able-bodied athletes in the one-mile swim, 44-mile bike and 10-mile run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have very good friendships now with several people that are blind, several people that are in wheelchairs, several people that are missing limbs,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve raced with them and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve raced alongside of them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great day in sports. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very inspirational.â&#x20AC;? A successful commercial property manager and investor, Powell serves as a board member for the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce. He ran for Solana Beach City Council in 2012. Yet he is most proud of his work with charities. In the nearly 20 years he has supported the Challenged Athletes Foundation, he has raised close to $900,000 for the organization. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often Captain Challenge who bikes, runs and swims for charity. Dressed in blue tights, a star-covered top hat and a cape, Captain Challenge is the superhero alter ego of Powell, a character he created in 2000 to help raise money for the Challenged Athletes Foundation and other local charities. He completed his latest Ironman as Captain

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF Education Foundation Scholars’ Circle enjoys record-breaking year BY RSF EDUCATION FOUNDATION Record numbers of Rancho Santa Fe families have pledged their support to the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation (RSFEF) through its Scholars’ Circle*. The 2013-14 school year has been a banner year for the Scholars’ Circle, welcoming 22 new member families and raising multi-year pledge commitments totaling over $1 million! A reception honoring and celebrating all current Scholars’ Circle members will be held on Feb. 22 at a private Rancho Santa Fe home. Scholars’ Circle supporters play a critical role in enabling enriched public education for all children at the R. Roger Rowe School. The multi-year pledge nature of Scholars’ Circle level giving brings long-term stability to the RESEF’s annual grant to the District enabling forward-looking budget forecasting. With Scholars’ Circle pledges now representing over 50 percent of all contributions to the RSFEF, this special group of philanthropists has a strong positive impact on the RSFEF’s Five-Star Education Program that seeks to provide every child with a first-class education through small class size, specialized teachers, literacy excellence, integrated science, and differentiated math. Of seminal importance to the Five-Star Education Program is class size. Each year over 96 percent of the funds provided to the R. Roger Rowe School through the RSFEF and its Scholars’ Circle go toward teacher salaries. Due, in large part, to the generosity of Scholars’ Circle members, R. Roger Rowe is able to maintain class sizes of under 20 children per class at a time when the majority of local public schools carry class sizes that exceed 30 children per class. Scholars’ Circle contributions also support staffing initiatives such as specialized teachers such as, literacy support, math, and science teachers. Contributions from the Scholars’ Circle also provide children at the R. Roger Rowe School with enrichment programs that go beyond the classroom. Students benefit from topnotch music and arts programs that include band, strings, choir, dance and drama. The school’s award-winning robotics program, through which students can grow their passion for science and compete with other robotics teams from around California, is another excellent program largely supported by RSFEF contributions. The RSFEF also introduced a new speaker series this year reinforcing the science and math concepts taught in the classrooms. The Scholars’ Circle tradition began in 1997 when a small group of dedicated families came together to provide substantial funds to supplement the Rancho Santa Fe School District’s annual budget. This year the Scholars’ Circle grew to 97 member families (approximately 20 percent of the 442 families with children attending the school are members of the Scholars’ Circle plus community partners Wells Fargo Bank, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, and Qualcomm).

The current Scholars’ Circle Class of 2013/14, proudly acknowledged with great appreciation, includes the following partial list of members (listed alphabetically): Adam & Richelle Aarons Fred & Genta Luddy Dan & Jenkie Arnold Mark & Marina Minasian Tom & Whitney Barton Tom & Robin Schreiber Ken & Julie Buechler (Class of 2005/06) Tyler & Liz Seltzer (Class of 2010/11) Jeffrey & Mariana Crevoiserat Ali & Amanda Shapouri Craig & Meredith Garner Robert & Vanessa Strickland Robyn Hudgens Jeff & Annette Symon The Kaminsky Families 4 anonymous donor families As this list of contributors demonstrates, the Scholars’ Circle message continues to resonate with members of the local community who care deeply about the R. Roger Rowe School. “For many parents in our community, the decision to join the Scholars’ Circle is a matter of priority as opposed to financial ability,” says Lynn Frank, chair of the RSFEF. “I would suggest that there is likely no greater priority to each one of us than the quality of our children’s education,” Frank continues, “and the Scholars’ Circle is the key to the longterm health of the RSFEF. These enlightened, committed and like-minded contributors support the RSFEF in an extraordinary way and enable R. Roger Rowe to truly deliver a Five-Star Education.” Vince Liptak, Scholars’ Circle co-chair, adds, “It is through the generosity of the philanthropic leaders who join the Scholars’ Circle that R. Roger Rowe is able to raise the bar on education for the benefit of our children. The superb academic and enrichment programs made possible through their generosity will continue to give our children the opportunity to grow into tomorrow’s leaders.” We have an outstanding school in our community that is widely regarded as one of the best public schools in the nation. The school’s position in the highest class is due, in large part, to the private funding contributed by generous families in our community. Given the significant economic challenges that continue to negatively affect public school funding in the State of California, Scholars’ Circle support becomes more critical every year. The RSFEF strongly encourages every member of the Rancho Santa Fe community interested in supporting public education at the R. Roger Rowe School to join the Scholars’ Circle at this time and be recognized as philanthropic leaders in our community. For more information on how to join the Scholars’ Circle, please contact Allison Oppeltz in the RSFEF office at (858) 756-1141, extension 208. All contributions to the RSFEF are 100 percent tax deductible. *Scholars’ Circle members contribute a minimum of $35,000 in a single contribution or multiyear pledge (three-five-year time period) to the RSFEF. Scholars’ Circle members are recognized by level – Cum Laude ($35,000+), Magna Cum Laude ($50,000+), Summa Cum Laude ($100,000+).

Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Center opens at Flower Hill Promenade •Free community event scheduled for Feb. 15 By KAREN BILLING The new Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Center opened at Flower Hill Promenade on Jan. 27. The center’s staff members arrived for their first day of work to warm greetings and gifts of Clementine oranges, ready to treat the first patients booked for appointments that day. The happy greeting into the sparkling, state-of-the-art new center was just another part of the “Sharp experience”— to keep employees happy by being the best place to work, the best place to practice medicine and the best place to receive care, according to Stacey Hrountas, chief executive officer. The Del Mar location is Sharp Rees-Stealy’s 21st in the region and helps reach its goal to expand its footprint in the North Coastal community. “Being located in Flower Hill Promenade is a little bit different for us, a lot of our offices are standalone buildings but we’re excited about it,” Hrountas said. “We’re excited about being in the community and offering the Sharp experience.” The center will offer family medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, onsite laboratory and radiology services, plus specialties including dermatology, endocrinology, musculoskeletal clinic and orthopedics. Many physicians are “doubleboarded” in internal medicine and pediatrics.

“What makes that exciting is that they can work with a senior patient about their goals for health care and then their next patient is a pediatric patient,” Hrountas said, noting it’s nice for the physicians to have the ability to take care of a broad spectrum of the community. The center is 29,364 square feet, which is more than four times the size of its Carmel Valley medical center. Some doctors and the entire OB/GYN department will be moving from Carmel Valley to Del Mar; the Carmel Valley location will continue to have family medicine, internal medicine/pediatrics and a laboratory. Patients can park on the third floor of the parking garage reserved for Sharp and, for the best patient experience, are encouraged to enter the garage the back way on Flower Hill Drive off San Andres. There is a main entrance to the center right off the garage or patients can opt to take the elevator entrance near Whole Foods Market. The theme of the new building is “nature and well-being” and that theme is incorporated into the design. A beautiful tree art installation lights up in the lobby revealing the words “nature” and “well-being” in the shadows of the branches on the wall. Hrountas said the aim is for the center to be a “calming, healing and comfortable” experience with an arts and crafts-beachy design with soft lighting, light woods and

stained glass accents throughout. There are lots of windows and cozy chairs throughout the waiting areas and there’s a wrap-around outdoor balcony that can be used for reception space with great Del Mar views and seats by outdoor fountains. Sharp further brings nature indoors with the use of Solatubes in the dermatology exam rooms that allow for abundant natural light. A new feature implemented at Sharp centers last summer is the self-check-in kiosks. Patients can check in for appointments on the kiosks as well as update their information or pay co-payment fees. Del Mar is Sharp’s 12th facility with check-in kiosks. A free community event will be held on Saturday, Feb. 15, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to introduce the center and staff to the public, as well as offer free health screenings with same- day results for blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose. Guests must RSVP at sharp.com on the events page. In addition, Flower Hill Promenade health and wellness tenants are offering a variety of specials on Feb. 15, including mini spa services and giveaways from Spa Gregorie’s, yoga demonstrations from CorePower Yoga, frozen yogurt treats from Yogurtland, samples from Nothing Bundt Cakes and healthy cooking demonstrations from Whole Foods Market. Guests can also enjoy live music, catered food and fun take-home bags.

CCA student Eric Chen rings New York Stock Exchange closing bell Auditions to be held for ‘America’s Got Talent’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK A Canyon Crest Academy student rang the New York Stock Exchange closing bell on Wednesday, Feb. 5 (after presstime for this newspaper. Look for a photo from the event next issue, Feb. 13). As one of the winners in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology, Canyon Crest Academy senior Eric Chen won a scholarship and the opportunity to ring the bell. “I found out a lot of celebrities and famous singers get to do it,” said 17-year-old Eric. “It’s really an honor.” Eric won the $100,000 grand prize in the Individual category for his discovery of potent influenza endonuclease inhibitors, which could be used to develop anti-flu drugs. He was also the grand prize winner of the Google Science Fair and a finalist in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. “The Siemens Competition participants were all students and they’re also incredibly intelligent,” Eric said. “I was very surprised to also win this competition.” Eric is the only winner from the West Coast. For their research on the ozone resistance of plants, New Yorkers Priyanka Wadgaonkar, Zainab Mahmood and JiaWen Pei received the $100,000 grand prize scholarship in the Team category. The three East Coast students also rang the closing bell. This was Eric’s first time visiting New York. When not doing schoolwork, working on his research project or sharing his work with others, Eric is looking forward to his future. He has already been accepted to Harvard University. “I’m not sure if I can top last year, but I’m really hoping to continue my work,” said

Eric Chen Eric, who wants to be a college professor or entrepreneur. “It’s still something I want to invest my time in when I’m in college. Hopefully, if I keep working on it, something really great will come out of it.”

Local researcher searches for cures in the sea

BY KRISTINA HOUCK From the peaks of the Himalayas to the swamps of Bangladesh, researchers have scoured the Earth’s land looking for medical breakthroughs. Soil actinomycetes and fungi were major sources for antibiotic discovery, Dr. William Fenical explained to attendees at Del Mar Foundation’s Speaker Series event Jan. 24. But more than 95 percent of the underwater world remains unexplored. “This is 70 percent of the Earth,” said Fenical as he pointed to a projected image of the ocean during his talk at the Del Mar Powerhouse. “They never once thought about exploring the world’s oceans. There was always someone as a naysayer.” As a distinguished professor of oceanography at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and director of the Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine at Scripps, Fenical explores the world’s oceans in hopes of discovering marine-derived compounds for the treatment of cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer’s and other diseases for which there are limited treatments and no cures. “We focus on the discovery of drugs that we desperately need,” he said. “We hope one day we will cure these.” Since joining Scripps in 1973, Fenical has studied the chemistry of marine plants, microorganisms and invertebrate animals. In 1983, Fenical discovered a sea whip off the Bahamas. From the sea whip, he isolated an agent that acted as an anti-inflammatory in humans. The university patented the substance, known as pseudopterosin, and Estee Lauder purchased the cosmetic rights for use in skin-care products. Today, the Solana Beach-based research scientist and his team collaborate with the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at UC San Diego, the Moores Cancer Center and a number of other scientists. In the last year, a team at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, led by Fenical, discovered a new chemical compound from an ocean microbe that shows early promise of combating anthrax and other ailments such as methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus. With federal grant support dwindling and public frustration about the perceived lack of progress from the scientific community growing, Fenical said he wants to educate the public, encourage donations and expand collaboration.

Dr. William Fenical He invited community members to learn more about the work at Scripps Institution of Oceanography by visiting the facilities. “The skepticism of science is destroying our ability to maintain our premiere lead in science and innovation in the United States,” he said. “People making fun of something they don’t know, they don’t understand, is horrible in terms of impact. “Without continual investment, as we should be doing, our competitiveness worldwide is really being challenged. If we don’t do something about it, China will outstrip us in scientific discovery in the next 10 years. I don’t want to see what that looks like.” For more information about the Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine, visit cmbb.ucsd.edu.

From the NBA to the NCAA, TPHS coach John Olive has rich basketball history BY ROB LEDONNE For those that follow high school hoops, it goes without saying that this season has been an impressive one for the boys at Torrey Pines High School. Their varsity basketball team has only lost (at presstime) four out of a whopping 23 games so far, and year after year the varsity players continue to show off their basketball skills in an efficient manner. Perhaps the reason for this efficiency is longtime head coach John Olive, a staple in the Torrey Pines sports scene since he was hired in April 1997. Prior to that, Olive was a force in both the NBA and college basketball and all of his prior experience is on full display every winter in North County. Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career in basketball began in the Northeast. Born in Philadelphia, Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family later to moved to New Jersey where he first discovered his knack for the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a youngster, I was very tall,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father and others just pushed me to go to open gyms to hone my skills practicing.â&#x20AC;? His first foray into organized basketball didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occur until Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshman year at Bishop Eustace Preparatory School in Pennsauken, New Jersey, and he surprisingly had a tough time at first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first began playing, I was new to the game and just uncoordinated,â&#x20AC;? he remembers. Olive inevitably learned the ins and outs of basketball throughout his high school years, and as time went on he gained a reputation in New Jersey as a star player. So good, in fact, that he began playing in high-caliber, all-star games during his summers off, and competing against the best players in the United States at that time. Said Olive, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of a sudden, I was getting recognition I never anticipated. At the time, I was performing at a very high level.â&#x20AC;? His basketball prowess brought him to Villanova University after college, which led him to be drafted for the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Philadelphia 76ers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; certainly a coup for any player. However, Olive had other plans and decided to play professional basketball in Europe for a year after graduating from Villanova. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being there was just another chance to work on my game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was nothing else required of me to do than just practice basketball. I loved it; it was a great learning experience.â&#x20AC;? Once back from Europe, Olive jumped into the NBA again, this time playing for the San Diego Clippers, (the team would later move to LA and is now known as being the hometeam of current basketball stars Blake Griffin and Chris Paul). However, during Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stint with the Clippers, a new passion started to develop. He transitioned from player to college scout, and then Olive says he began to reevaluate what he wanted to do: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realized I wanted to coach to satisfy this competitive part of me I was missing.â&#x20AC;? As a result, Olive left the Clippers and joined the coaching staff back at Villanova University in April 1985. At the time, Villanova had one of the hottest basketball programs around after winning the NCAA Championship that same month. Olive spent seven successful years at Villanova (he was later inducted into the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Athletic Hall of Fame), and then five seasons coaching at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. He then became head coach for Torrey Pines High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball program in 1997, a position heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held ever since.

Coach John Olive (center). Photo/Anna Scipione Compared to his years in college and professional basketball, Olive says his stint at Torrey Pines is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot less stressful. The only stress I have is the stress I put on myself. Your job and family income isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the line every year. With my career, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been helpful knowing what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like at the upper levels of basketball, and to have developed players at that high level. To be able to look at a high school player and let him know what he needs to do to get better is valuable.â&#x20AC;? Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach at Torrey Pines seems to be working. He was voted Coach of the Year seven times, and the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s varsity basketball program last won a CIF championship in 2012. After also running successful basketball camps and coaching other teams for various organizations (including USA Basketball), Olive says he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier with the trajectory of his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the biggest thing is that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thank goodness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I realized at a young age that I should follow a career I enjoyed doing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love coaching.â&#x20AC;? Torrey Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regular season wraps up later this month. For more information, and a full game schedule, check out www.torreypinesbasketball.com.

Torrey Pines Varsity Rugby Club finishes season undefeated with 41-12 victory over La Costa Canyon BY TIM PICKWELL A physical La Costa Canyon Varsity Rugby team took its first loss of the season, 41-12, Feb. 2 at the hands of a more experienced, tactical Torrey Pines Varsity Club. Torrey Pines trailed for the first time all season, after LCC Flanker Jake Galloway scored over the middle five minutes into the match (kick failed). But, Torrey Pines Head Coach Matty Sandoval patiently used the skills of Senior Fly Half Alec Mills who connected on four consecutive penalty kicks over the next 20 minutes to put Torrey Pines ahead, 12-5. Mills dealt with swirling winds at the Torrey Pines Football Stadium to nail kicks

of 25, 32 and 25 yards, along with a pointblank shot between the posts. The Torrey Pines squad is 6-0, and the No. 1 seed from the San Diego County “White Division” in Southern California Youth Rugby. Torrey Pines will host the No. 2 seed, Long Beach Wilson, next week in the first round of the playoffs. LCC (5-1-1) will face Desert Sands (7-0). The Southern California Youth Rugby High School Championships for all divisions (Red, White, Blue) will be held Saturday, Feb. 15, at Cathedral Catholic High School. For more see this story under “Sports” at www.delmartimes.net.

Torrey Pines JV Rugby Club knocks undefeated LCC off perch BY TIM PICKWELL The Southern California High School Youth Rugby League, with 35 teams, is still in its infancy. Recognizing a need to attract players and to teach inexperienced older players about the game, League rules permit “Junior Varsity” squads to play up to five juniors, and even inexperienced seniors. The Torrey Pines JV, on the other hand, carries 21 freshman and sophomores — which led to its first loss in four years at San Pasqual in January, when the shorthanded Falcons played a 10 v. 10 match, and half the Eagles team was juniors. The Falcons barely lost, 2219, but the lesson was learned. The well-stocked Torrey Pines Varsity then sent three reinforcements to round out the JV

ranks for the final two matches of the season: juniors Jaun Pawluszek, Gunnar Moseman, and Dylan Fetzer. Would it be enough against undefeated La Costa Canyon on Feb. 2 at Torrey Pines Stadium? LCC plays five juniors, and had whacked San Pasqual by 40 points two weeks earlier. Yes. With Torrey Pines JV’s sophomore leader Brandon Cole scoring and breaking long runs up the middle, the junior additions played key roles in shoring up the JV ranks, and helped the squad defeat LCC, 21-19, in a nail biter. Cole was named “Man-of-theMatch.” Freshman flyhalf Lucas Cruz had three conversions (point-after-attempts) — which turned out to be the difference in the tough match.

Pierre Pretorious drags three La Costa Canyon players during the Torrey Pines Varsity Rugby Club’s 41-12 win over LCC. Photo/Aubrey Hill. Cruz was also instrumental with a deceptive run and a “dummy” (i.e. fake) 20 minutes into the match, which allowed him to pitch to Pawluszek for the team’s first try. Moseman helped shore up the wing position on the other side, but it was the play of flanker Dylan Fetzer that impressed Head Coach William “Chief” Leversee. “He was hard-nosed and aggressive all day. Dylan was a real defensive force for us in the middle. We’re glad to have him.” Sophomore center Alec Packer also scored for Torrey Pines, while big (230 LB) sophomore prop Cole Maes-Valley was a big force in the rucks and scrums for the Falcons. The Torrey Pines JV finishes No. 2 in the San Diego White Division to LCC, however. Both teams finished, 5-1, but LCC won on standings points, 26-25. Torrey Pines will Palos Verdes (the No.1 seed from Los Angeles) next week for the first round of the playoffs, while the LCC Junior Varsity will probably face

undefeated Desert Sands. (Los Angeles Section is waiting for the results of an important match Tuesday, Feb. 4 to determine seedings).

Canyon Crest Academy Envision to tackle Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK Last spring, actor Jason Maddy toured San Diego County middle and high schools as an actor in The Old Globe’s production of William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” Now, the local actor and instructor is launching his own version of the comedy Feb. 28 at Canyon Crest Academy in Carmel Valley. “It was fresh in my mind, and I thought it would be a good challenge for the kids that I get to work with,” Maddy said. This is the second time Maddy has served as a guest director at Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision, which offers day classes and afterschool programs for cinema, dance, digital and fine art, instrumental music, theater, and vocal music. He directed one of Shakespeare’s early comedies, “Love’s Labour’s Lost,” last year. “It is interesting to get a chance to work with the students on two different eras of Shakespeare,” said Maddy who is directing several of the same students. “You get to see his growth as a writer. The characters are richer. They’re more realistic. They’re much more human. The text is way more complex.” A tale of unrequited love and hidden identities, “Twelfth Night” has been performed countless times around the world. The earliest recorded performance of the play was in 1602. Still, Maddy’s adaptation is set in the

I love finding motivation for the characters, especially when working with younger actors. It gives them something to grab onto.” Maddy and Amy Blatt, Envision’s theater coordinator, selected the play as a stark contrast to Envision’s second spring production, “Les Misérables.” In collaboration with the school’s vocal music conservatory, Blatt will direct “Les Misérables,” which will run March 21-29. “I like playing around

with Shakespeare,” said Maddy, who has starred in productions in several local theaters, including The Old Globe, North Coast Repertory Theatre and Cygnet Theatre. He has also served as a teaching artist at The Old Globe, North Coast Rep and La Jolla Playhouse. “My goal is to make it relatable to us 400 years later. I’m real excited about it.” “Twelfth Night” will run Feb. 28 through March 8 at Canyon Crest Academy’s Black Box Theater, located at 5951 Village Center Loop Road in Carmel Valley.

Frank R. Warren 1922 – 2014 Frank R. Warren, of Del Mar, loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away peacefully at Scripps Memorial in La Jolla on Sunday, January 26, 2014. Frank was born on March 14, 1922, in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was married to Joanne Warren on March 1, 1957. In 1926, his father, William Warren, founded Warren Properties in New Orleans. In 1937, Warren Properties was relocated to Southern California. Frank assumed management of the business in 1956 and grew Warren Properties into a successful apartment construction and

management operation which now consists of over eleven thousand apartment units across sixteen states. In his sixty year career, he was a founding member of Rancho Santa Fe Savings Bank and La Jolla Savings Bank. Along with Joanne, he was a patron of the arts and a major philanthropist in the San Diego area. His Warren Family Foundation has given millions of dollars to local charities. Frank had a fascination with animals and a soft spot in his heart for the San Diego Zoo. His frequent donations led to the Zoo naming a baby gorilla, “Frank.” Frank, the gorilla, now resides in the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. He was predeceased by his son, John Warren, in 2007. Frank is survived by his wife, Joanne; his son, Bruce (Eileen) Warren; daughters, Lisa (Eric) Campbell, Carol Warren, and Tracy (Stephan) St. Amour; and eleven grandchildren. The memorial service was held at the Church of the Nativity in Rancho Santa Fe, on Saturday, February 1, 2014. In lieu of ﬂowers, the

Glenn Wetherby Preston 1922 – 2013 Glenn Preston, son of the late Elmer and Nora Preston, died Saturday, December 28, 2013. Born in Welch, WV, and raised in Hamden, CT, Glenn graduated from Hamden High School. His studies at Trinity College were interrupted by service in the U.S. Navy during WWII as an aviator and radar operator. After completing his B.S. in mathematics and physics at Trinity, he attended Yale University, where he obtained an M.S. in physics.

To your health: Minutes matter in heart attack treatment BY MARTIN CHARLAT, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH When a heart attack strikes, what happens in the next few minutes can make a critical difference in both the immediate and long-term health consequences. Each year, about 1.2 million people in the United States have heart attacks. A heart attack results when the flow of blood to the heart is suddenly cut off, often due to a build-up of plaque in the arteries caused by coronary heart disease. Left untreated, the plaque eventually becomes so thick that it prevents blood from getting through. Blood carries oxygen to the heart; if blood flow is not quickly restored, the heart is deprived of oxygen and begins to die. If enough of the heart muscle is damaged, the heart attack can be fatal. According to the National Institutes of Health, about 50 percent of those who suffer heart attacks don’t survive. Within this group, about half die within an hour of their first symptoms. That’s why it is vital to get medical attention immediately if you believe you or someone else may be having a heart attack. The sooner you get treatment, the less likely the damage to the heart muscle. Immediate intervention by a medical professional such as a paramedic or physician is critical to getting the block artery opened and restoring blood flow to the heart muscle. Time is crucial: If treatment is received within several hours, long-term damage can often be minimized or avoided. Once five or six hours have passed without treatment, the injury tends to be more severe. After 12 hours, heart damage is likely to be permanent. Recognize the symptoms The first step to getting the right care for a heart attack is to be able to recognize the symptoms. For men, the typical warning sign is an intense feeling of pressure, pain or squeezing around the chest. The discomfort may radiate down one or both arms or up to the jaw, neck or shoulders. Sudden and profuse sweating may also occur, as well as shortness of breath, a lightheaded feeling or nausea. However, these symptoms are not always present — some people may have only mild discomfort or just feel short of breath. Women often have very different heart attack symptoms than men, and they can be less predictable. Research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) indicates that women often experience new or different physical symptoms as long as a month or more before experiencing heart attacks. The most commonly reported symptoms included unusual fatigue, sleep disturbances, shortness of breath, indigestion and anxiety. More than 40 percent reported no chest pain before or during the heart attack. Call 911 immediately If you suspect you’re having a heart attack, don’t write it off as indigestion or wait to see if you feel better. Call 911 immediately and tell the operator you are having symptoms of a heart attack. Too often, people wait to seek medical care because they don’t want to “look silly” if it isn’t a heart attack after all. We would much rather you err on the side of caution than not seek care because you aren’t sure if you need it. Delaying care can be deadly. Chew and swallow aspirin While you are waiting for the paramedics to arrive, chew and swallow an aspirin (unless your physician has told you otherwise or you are allergic to aspirin). This can help thin your blood and possibly get more blood flowing to your heart. Once the paramedics arrive, they can begin professional medical treatment to open the blocked artery and restore blood flow. Remember, immediate professional medical care can make the difference between life and death or long-term damage. Know the signs of a heart attack, and never hesitate to get help if you suspect you need it. Martin Charlat, MD, is a cardiologist with Scripps Health. Join Charlat for a free presentation on heart attack prevention and new treatments and techniques from 6-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20 at Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA, 200 Saxony Rd. in Encinitas. Call 1-800-SCRIPPS (727-4777) to register.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Q&A: Rebecca Fox’s goal is to inspire women to dignity, beauty, faith Rebecca Fox is editor and founder of the online “Eve’s Crown Magazine.” After graduating from Barnard College at Columbia University, Fox worked in public relations and finance in New York City. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 18, she struggled with mental illness and substance abuse for a number of years. In early 2000, Fox left the business world and the hustle and bustle of New York City for a quiet cabin in the woods to pursue natural healing and social work. Over the next 10 years, she pursued a program of recovery and worked with women in the areas of domestic violence, parole, foster care and substance abuse. After a severe relapse nearly claimed her life, she said she was restored to “dignity, beauty and faith by God’s abundant love.” She now commits her life to helping women from all walks of life. What inspires you? People who serve and mentor others, inspire me. Mother Teresa is at the top of my list. It is my dream to write about the Mother Teresa Home for the Dying in Calcutta. I heard a story about a Swiss banker who gave up all of his worldly pos-

sessions to volunteer at this home, changing the bedsheets of the penniless patients within its walls. Karin Donaldson, Pam Farrel, and Christian vocalist Mary James all inspire me. I am blessed to be surrounded by women who inspire and mentor me. I have been taught to turn around and do the same. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Jesus, Camille Claudelle (one of the greatest female sculptors of all time), Sherizhade (for she lived to write and she wrote to live), Dostoyevsky (it goes without saying), Maire Jaanus (one of my favorite professors at Barnard; I took four of her classes and she was my thesis advisor. Never have I seen before such a collision and collusion of art, culture, philosophy, literature, metaphysics and linguistics all in one lecture, one thought and one book), my mother, Joyce, my brother, Nathan, and his girlfriend, Angel. What are your five favorite movies of all time? “Mozart & The Whale,” “Overboard,” “Princess Bride,” “Enchanted,” and “The Man from Snowy River.”

JUST IN!!

Rebecca Fox What is it that you most dislike? Abuse of a human being in any way shape or form. What is your mostprized possession? My 6-year old dog, Sky. I adopted her from a pound in Utah. She has been my love ever since. She has this amazing gift for giving hugs just when you need them. She is a Britney Spaniel who surfs and kayaks. She has one blue eye and jumps for joy always! What do you do for fun? I try to have fun all day. I love to laugh and joke. When I have time off, I’m always working or creating or connecting. But in my down time, I love to kayak, sail, jog … soon I will be ice-skating. In fact, if a friend of mine were to suggest something ac-

tive to do, I would most likely be up for it! What is your motto or philosophy of life? Life is truly a Blessing! What would be your dream vacation? Hmmm … my friends have a sustainable yoga retreat on an island in Panama, where I once stayed in a hut covered in palm fronds. That sounds really good right about now.

Superintendent Rick Schmitt plans to update the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through our local media with a monthly update. Topics covered will include curriculum, facilities, budget, safety and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on 2014-15 SDUHSD budget information, possibilities and concerns. With the release of Gov. Jerry Brown’s budget proposal for the 2014-15 school year, I thought this would be a good time to give an update on our current budget and an early outlook for the next year. The path to recovery, which began with the passage of Prop 30’s temporary taxes in 2013, continues into 2014 as we approach the second school year without the threat of state cuts looming over our heads. In fact, the gov-Rick Schmitt ernor has proposed increasing funding to Proposition 98 as the general economy continues to slowly climb out of this most recent recession. However, the overall increase in state education funding will benefit those public school districts that are funded via the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) rather than Basic Aid districts like the San Dieguito Union High School District, which are funded primarily through local property taxes. This will be important to keep in mind as you read and hear about the increases in funding allocated to many other San Diego County school districts. As the state moves forward with phasing in the LCFF over the next eight or more years, each district’s demographics and how far away they are from reaching their target level of funding will drive how much additional revenue those districts will receive. With San Dieguito, any improvement in our income will be based on increases in the property taxes paid within our boundaries. Perhaps our biggest disappointment with the governor’s proposed budget is the lack of ongoing funding for implementation of Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The state provided one-time funding this school year for professional development, purchase of instructional materials and technology associated with CCSS. The transition to CCSS will take many years and our needs to provide more training and purchase new instructional materials aligned with CCSS will not expire with the one-time infusion of state money. I have personally met with our local state senator and assemblymember to express this concern. The challenges we will face as we approach the next school year include: •Projecting our property tax revenue as the housing prices improve, but sales volume remains low. •Determining whether or not increases in state funding will outpace our property tax revenue, causing us to become an LCFF district and whether or not that will be stable over time. •Preparing for an influx of students from the remaining housing development in the southern part of the district and providing teachers, staff and classroom space for that enrollment. •Meeting the needs of English learners and lower income students as mandated under new state regulations without any additional state funding tied to those programs. •Continued transition to Common Core State Standards without sufficient ongoing funding for this initiative. •Closing the deficit that still remains between our revenue and expenditures that resulted from the loss of state and federal funding.

Rant with Randi: Really Mr. President? BY RANDI CRAWFORD How about a quote from the leader of our country, President Barack Obama: “As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don’t think it is more dangerous than alcohol.” Hmmm, marijuana is a Schedule 1 substance, classified by the Drug Enforcement Agency, which is in the same category as heroin, LSD, Ecstasy and crystal meth. Unlike alcohol, smoking marijuana causes permanent brain damage to adolescent teens that smoke it, as well as lowers their IQ, yet the President doesn’t warn people not to follow in his footsteps. There are approximately 17.6 million people in this country that abuse alcohol, so is the President saying that we should double that number and it’s really no big deal? This statement is so irresponsible that I can barely comprehend it. The White House website states, and I quote: “The Administration steadfastly opposes legalization of marijuana and other drugs because legalization would increase the availability and use of illicit drugs, and pose a significant health and safety risks to all Americans, particularly young people.” Is that statement going to magi-

cally disappear now? This is also personal for me. Someone very close to me has been doing drugs since he was a teenager. He has the mental capacity of a 15 year old, if that. I remember coming home from college during breaks and he was always getting high. He kept his “stash” in the “Donkey Kong” machine in his bedroom. He attended Villanova University, a school filled with Irish Catholic, beer- drinking kids, yet he managed to find the only deadbeats on campus that sat around smoking pot all day. He was kicked out his first semester. He started out smoking pot, as an adolescent, and the next thing I knew he was taking crystal meth. If you’ve never experienced anyone taking crystal meth, let me enlighten you. It’s scary as hell. Meth users get what I like to call “Scary eyes” and, trust me, you do

RSF Garden Club Sale Giveaway The sticking point for me on this whole proposed Garden Club sale and lease-back deal has been the Oversight Committee created to control the property sale proceeds. The terms of the deal require an endowment to be set up at the RSF Foundation. Let me explain. The distribution from the earnings of the Endowment of $2.369 million (based on a sale price of the two-year-old appraisal) would be about $140,000 per year based on 6 percent earnings minus administration fees. The proposed sale lease-back terms create an Oversight Committee of five members consisting of: two sitting members from the RSF Association board, two sitting members from the Garden Club board, and the remaining member to be a current member from the RSF Foundation board. Questions and problems as I see it: First, how are the sale monies being transferred from the buyer (RSF Association) to the seller (the Garden Club)? Second, the Garden Club is forever giving up its right to its sale proceeds of $2.369 million and its earnings on that money in exchange for a 10-year unknown market rate lease for the Shoppe, an unknown lease term on the small office/ garage space, and only 15 days per year use for Garden Club events, and if the Association decides to change the Garden Club future use, i.e. availability or non-availability of the facility, only the RSF Association, members would vote and the Garden Club will have no say and will have to vacate within 12 months. What happened to the Garden Club’s usage of the facility in perpetuity? Third, the endowment and its earnings are the Garden Club’s funds, so why shouldn’t it be the one solely deciding on the endowment’s annual distribution? Fourth, what are the terms of the endowment? Is this a permanent endowment or non-permanent? Fifth, there is a major problem with the language that was proposed regarding the Oversight Committee. The Oversight Committee has a direct conflict of interest in that you cannot have board members of one entity that are also members of any of the other entities involved on the committee. i.e. The Garden Club board members are almost all RSF Association members, the Foundation board members may also be members of the RSF Association, and the RSF Association board members may be members of the Garden Club and/or the RSF Foundation. I don’t know who is coming up with these proposals but this is wrong. We need to see the financial data and cost projections to understand the fiscal impact to the residents and show everyone the money trail so they can see the entire transaction of this sale…long overdue. Marion Dodson RSF resident and Garden Club member

not want to be around them. Their physical appearance goes to pot...literally. He used to be gorgeous. Today, if you saw him walking down the street, you would switch to the other side to get away from the creep with the dirty feet and horrible smell. He has been in and out of nearly every top rehab facility in the country. He has lived on the street and in his car (when he owned one). The one time he had his own place, his “friends” stole everything he had. Today, he lives in Hawaii, in a tent, with no running water, no electricity, and no family. Recently, we spoke on the phone (one he borrowed) and I tried explaining to him that no girl wants to date a guy who has no home, no steady job, and no cell phone, who doesn’t wear shoes, doesn’t shower, and washes his clothes in the ocean. He honestly didn’t “get me.” I can’t begin to explain the “invisible” collateral damage that drug abuse creates for everyone in his or her circle. It’s a pain that’s impossible to describe unless you know and love someone who is an addict. I believe that pot is addictive, and it’s a gateway drug, not to mention, there are significantly more carcinogens in pot than in cigarette smoke (which I don’t condone either, but that ship has sailed). Anyone who has a loved one who started with pot and ended up an addict should send his or her story to Barack Obama. Maybe Obama can send them his selfie? Do I believe that marijuana should be legal for recreational use? Absolutely, positively, not. Your thoughts? www.randiccrawford@gmail.com

COOTS continued from page 1 ing coots, said spokeswoman Kelli Schry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, as terrible as it is thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing we can do to regulate it,â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Schry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would absolutely encourage using nonlethal methods. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t encourage any kind of harm to any animal, domestic or wildlife.â&#x20AC;? Eddie Owens, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sacramento office, said a number of golf courses in San Diego and Riverside counties have depredation permits issued by his agency, specifically regarding American coots. The permits are good for one season, and must be renewed each year. Golf courses and other property owners that obtain permits must demonstrate they have used and continue to use non-lethal means to control the birds, and that killing the birds is a last resort, Owens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You must have a wildlife hazard management plan in conjunction with this depredation permit. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a permit you can get and go on a shooting spree, you must have a

Rancho Santa Fe Review program that utilizes a variety of non-lethal techniques in conjunction with your lethal removal,â&#x20AC;? Owens said. The Fairbanks Ranch Country Club has received a depredation permit to kill American coots for all but about three of the past 13 years, Owens said. Wittert said the club has spoken to a university professor to learn about the coot, and conducted its own research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have tried everything that has been available that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever read about,â&#x20AC;? said Wittert, including dogs, falcons, pyrotechnics, scarecrows, mylar balloons, pictures of coyotes, and remote-control boats and airplanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of them has been effective.â&#x20AC;? Along with the eradication efforts, on any given day, up to six club employees are assigned to walk toward the coots and shoo them away from playing areas and toward the water. â&#x20AC;?You can imagine how expensive that is,â&#x20AC;? he said. The coot population â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is not an endangered species, according to Owen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; varies from year to year, but has been particularly bad in recent years, Wittert said. Some 5,000 birds mi-

grated to the golf course last year, and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is about 1,000 birds. Owens said the numbers may be down due to a relatively mild winter in Northern California, so the birds donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t migrate as far south. Wittert said Fairbanks Ranch isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only local course dealing with the birds. The superintendent of one local course, who asked not to be named, said his course does have issues with coots and their feces, but does not have a depredation permit. Officials at other North County courses did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Fairbanks Ranch prides itself on environmental stewardship, and has been certified by the Audobon Society for water conservation, wildlife and habitat management and environmental planning, said Wittert. Emmerson said he understands the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need to deal with the sanitary issues caused by the coots, but urged the organization to use only non-lethal methods in the future.

Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His desire is to encourage others to do something that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never done before â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and if you really want to step it up, do something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been done by anyone before. Everyone has this capacity.â&#x20AC;? In addition to participating in organized competitions, Powell established his own events to raise money for charity last year. On Sept. 11, he rode his bike from Salton Sea to the Pacific Ocean to support the Challenged Athletes Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Operation Rebound, a sports and fitness program for American military personnel, veterans and first responders with permanent physical disabilities. Less than two weeks after the 133-mile â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sea to Shining Seaâ&#x20AC;? bike ride, Powell biked from Yuma, Ariz., to Solana Beach to raise funds for charity. He plans to do both rides again this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Captain Challenge encourages others to give of their time and their treasury to help people achieve their

dreams and support worthwhile causes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a grown man will wear bright blue tights with bright yellow stars and run around, hopefully people will say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not taking himself too seriously, but he is actually helping raise money for charity. Maybe I should help.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? For more information on the Challenged Athletes Foundation, visit www.challengedathletes.org.

Oceanside Museum of Art to unveil second exhibition in Del Mar BY KRISTINA HOUCK A regional museum is once again bringing art to the community. Oceanside Museum of Art is kicking off its second exhibition Feb. 7 at its new satellite location in Del Mar. The Artist Alliance II exhibition will feature 66 pieces from 64 artists. All artists are members of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly 200-member Artist Alliance. The group regularly meets at OMA for critiquing sessions, panel discussions and other artist-oriented events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to be an exciting group show,â&#x20AC;? said OMA Executive Director Daniel Foster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show will highlight many of the best artists in our region. It also supports an important artist membership group of our museum and gives them an opportunity to be more visible.â&#x20AC;? More than 80 artists submitted a total of 184 entries to the show, which is juried by Wendy Wilson, director of the Escondido Arts Partnership. EAP operates the Escondido Municipal Gallery, a 6,000-squarefoot community art space highlighting Southern California artists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Artist Alliance group and committee, in partnership with Wendy Wilson, have produced what I think will be a really outstanding quality show of diversity from our talent in this region,â&#x20AC;? Foster said. The Artist Alliance II exhibition is OMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second exhibition in Del Mar.

OMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Del Mar satellite site launched Oct. 5 at the Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair. Courtesy photo Located at 704 Pier View Way in Oceanside, OMA has offered art exhibitions and programs since 1995. Originally housed in a 1934 historic Irving Gill building, OMA expanded in 2008 to a 26,000-square-foot, three-story space with five museum galleries. OMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Del Mar satellite site launched Oct. 5 at the Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair with a show featuring paintings by the late Turner and photographs by the late H. Montgomery-Drysdale. Both artists lived in Del Mar. About 300 people â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

including San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts and then-Del Mar Mayor Terry Sinnott â&#x20AC;&#x201D; attended the opening, Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opportunity to go into Del Mar and serve the audiences there was extremely attractive to us,â&#x20AC;? Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know there is a need and a very strong, educated, sophisticated, cultural population that is underserved by quality venues bringing forward the best artists of the area, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our driving mission. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received outstanding support from local citizens and leaders.â&#x20AC;?

The OMA/Herb B. Turner Galleries in Del Mar will present quarterly art exhibitions, receptions, educational programs and events, which will often highlight local and regional artists. The third exhibition is being planned for June, Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strongly believe in collaboration as a way of sharing and finding new audiences, and so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been pretty aggressive about collaborative exhibitions and education programming,â&#x20AC;? said Foster, who joined the museum about a year and a half ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to reach out into targeted communities that are in our primary area â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Carmel Valley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to bring programming into their local settings and create opportunities to connect for the first time with many art patrons.â&#x20AC;? The Artist Alliance II exhibition will be on display Feb. 7-May 11. The free opening reception will take place 6-8 p.m. Feb. 7 at the OMA/Herb B. Turner Galleries, 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd. in Del Mar. OMA is open 10 a.m.4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 1-4 p.m. Sunday. General admission is $8. Admission is $5 for seniors and free for students and military. OMA offers free admission on the first Sunday of every month. For more information about OMA, call 760-435-3720 or visit oma-online.org.

This fun event is taking place on Saturday, Feb. 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is a great way to support local businesses in the community as well as Canyon Crest Academy, while having a great time.

Much will be new in this Shakepeare ‘Tale’ at Old Globe

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER The Old Globe’s artistic director, Barry Edelstein, will make his Old Globe directorial debut this month with Shakespeare’s mesmerizing “The Winter’s Tale.” The show will also be the first time in more than a decade that a Shakespearean production will take the Globe’s indoor stage. Edelstein, a stage director, producer, author, educator and recognized authority on the works of Shakespeare in the United States, is very fond of this particular Shakespeare play. “I love being around ‘The Winter’s Tale’ because it’s so magical and moving,” Edelstein said. “And being here for a while now, I get a sense the community is really interested in getting a look at Shakespeare under artificial light.” Due to its mix of humor and drama, “The Winter’s Tale” is labeled one of Shakespeare’s “problem plays.” It centers on the King of Sicily, Leontes, suspected affair between his wife, Hermione, and his best friend, Polixenes, the King of Bohemia. Could Leontes be so cruel as to imprison his pregnant wife and order the baby killed? Luckily, there’s much comic relief in the acts that follow this dramatic cliffhanger. “ ‘The Winter’s Tale’ has been my favorite Shakespeare play for a long time,” Edelstein said. “It’s redemptive and a magical ending is

Also, it has so many things I love about Shakespeare — there’s the tragic serious drama, then the second act is a light, beguiling and funny comedy as things come together and bring us to a third place that’s different than anything else he wrote.” This production of “The Winter’s Tale” has a new musical score by composer Michael Torke, who’s scored everything from plays and operas to music for the Olympics. “I directed this play before in New York and commissioned Mi-

chael to write the piano score for it then,” Edelstein said. “I asked him to come back and develop it, and he made some changes. He’s a big deal in the world of classical music. It’s fun to welcome him to the Globe and deal with Shakespeare music from such an unusual perspective because it’s not conventional, theatrical, incidental music; it’s much more complex and rich.” The cast for the play includes a mix of seasoned Globe resident artists, some new actors to the Globe and actors from the Old

Old Globe artistic director Barry Edelstein Photo/Joseph Moran Globe/USD M.F.A program. Noted stage and screen actor Billy Campbell (TV’s “Killing Lincoln” and SyFy’s “Helix”) returns to the Globe following his previous appearances in “Much Ado About Nothing” and “The Comedy of Errors.” Taking a production usually presented in an outdoor venue to an indoor stage could have been a problem for some companies, but not the Globe, Edelstein said. “As a director, I’ve always been deeply involved and a collaborator with my design team,” he said. “The Globe stage is not quite

as big as the outdoor festival stage, but it’s enormous enough to do all those big musicals we do indoors. Wilson Chin’s design is going to look very handsome. He’s done an imaginative job creating a sparse and very clever design.” Edelstein said he looks forward to bringing Globe Shakespeare patrons from the outdoors inside for several reasons. “This is a rarely produced play, so it’s wonderful opportunity to see a production that’s not offered as often as ‘Midsummer’s Night Dream’ or ‘Macbeth.’ “Those who have an interest in exploring all parts of the Shakespeare cannon should see it. Also, this is my first show as artistic director and I know people want to get to know me. The production really presents my taste and sense of theater and humor as an artist in a comprehensive way. I’m hoping those who are curious about the new guy will come check me out.”

Almond joy: Nutty aphrodisiac for Valentine’s Day The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Tying first place on the A-(phrodisiac) List, knocking the lowly oyster (loaded with mercury, cadmium and PCB’s) out of the running, and neck-and-neck with bittersweet chocolate is the divine, heart-healthy, nutrient-dense almond. Here are this beaut’s sexy little secrets to help revv up your sweetie’s engine for Valentine’s Day and always. Kudos to the seductive little seed with its sensual shape and heady aroma that has been arousing passion

since Biblical times, being one of the earliest cultivated foods. Samson pursued Delilah with almond branches, and although he picked the wrong girl, this ill-fated romance did not tarnish almonds’ reputation as a love charm or symbol. Ancient Romans still showered newlyweds with the elliptical nut as a token of fertility. The aromatic almond has been praised by scribes throughout history, including Nefzawi, the 13th century author of “The Perfumed Garden of Sensual Delight,” who prescribed 20 almonds and 100 grains of pine tree blended with a viscous glassful of honey as a bedtime love tonic to boost sexual energy. Almond’s aphrodisiac appeal stems from the mother lode of heart-protective, fertility enhancing Vitamin E and zinc, along with phosphorous and dietary fiber for a euphoric sense of well-being. As an

added boon, almonds contain the monounsaturated “friendly” fats, phytonutrients like magnesium and calcium for strong bones, the same anti-inflammatory resveratrol found in red wine, antioxidant, cancerpreventive alpha-tocopherol, and provide a protein and Vitamin B powerhouse to endow one with an oomph of vitality on V-Day. This super food has also been found to put the skids on hangover symptoms if a handful is eaten before imbibing (and that’s always a plus for passion). For your special honey on Feb. 14 whip up some delightful almond dishes throughout the day. • For a flirtatious breakfast or brunch, serve a frothy almond mango smoothie or frozen mocha almond shake, almond ginger pear scones, honey almond cream with fresh berries or almond lavender crème brûlée French toast. • For a playful lunch, make heart-shaped almond

ON THE MENU: NEW DELIGHTS WITH AN OCEAN ON THE SIDE. VALENTINE’S DAY

butter and jelly sandwiches, an almond jade shrimp stir fry, Greek spinach and almond salad or a bowl of refreshing muscatel grape and almond gazpacho. • Plan a seductive dinner with almond-encrusted baked salmon and a side of Portobello mushrooms stuffed with toasted almonds, quinoa and pomegranate seeds, or pounded

chicken breasts rolled and filled with ground almonds, lemon zest and mascarpone cheese. • Snack on them straight up, raw or roasted, sweet or savory dressed with sun-dried tomatoes and Italian herbs, cumin and lime, honey glazed with sea salt or au natural. • Dip warm pita bread into exotic almond dukkah

(a Moroccan blend of nuts, herbs and spices). • For blissful desserts, tease the palate with hearthealthy dark chocolate almond brownies with 60 percent or more cocoa content, amaretto and roasted almond cheesecake or cranberry almond biscotti with a nice dollop of almond gelato.

Chocolate Almond Joy Butter Ingredients 2 cups raw almonds 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate 1 teaspoon honey (clover, blossom, your choice) A few drops of coconut extract 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Method: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Spread almonds on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool. In a food processor, grind the chocolate into tiny pieces. Add the nuts and sea salt, and continue processing until desired smoothness is reached. Blend in honey and flavorings. For chunky, toss in a handful of nuts at the end. Cook’s tip – Nut butters get hard when refrigerated, so soften at room temperature before eating. —For additional Chinese New Year recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

New Carmel Valley fitness studio pairs indoor cycling with yoga classes BY KAREN BILLING Fitness studio Bonaventour opened in December in Carmel Valley, offering San Diego’s first combination indoor cycling and yoga classes. Its signature class, “Pedal to Nirvana,” is a 40-minute high-intensity cardio ride followed by a 30-minute yoga session designed to balance out the body and calm the mind. The studio is located in Torrey Del Mar Plaza on Carmel Valley Road. Founders Esteban Rodriguez and Eduardo Padilla have been friends since they were children, and cycling and outdoor enthusiasts for just about as long. They grew up in Tijuana and San Diego and are very proud of their bicultural roots. They have always loved nature, sports and competition, but Padilla also got very into yoga and fell in love with the benefits of what it does for the body. Pairing cycling with yoga seemed to them a unique and winning combination. “It started with a crazy idea. We love REI (Recreational Equipment Inc.) and the idea was to make an REI gym with indoor cycling and yoga and mountain climbing,” Rodriguez said. “We decided to start with 10 bikes and yoga.” The bikes used in the studio are “Real Ryders,” which tilt and lean like a real cycle, creating the experience of being out on the road and engaging muscles unlike any other indoor cycle. Bonaventour is only the second studio in San Diego to offer them.

New fitness studio Bonaventour. Courtesy photos “As a cyclist, I can’t be on a regular indoor cycle because it just doesn’t feel real,” Rodriguez said. “Nothing beats being outside but this at least mimics that and gives you the feeling of freedom of movement.” The studio’s look is classic and clean, with a separate cycling area and yoga studio stocked with mats, blocks and straps. A small retail area has workout attire and healthy nibbles. Rodriguez likes the boutique-gym feel, a place that is unintimidating to come to and a place small enough where they can accommodate their customers’ varying fitness goals. Rodriguez and Padilla don’t teach

any of the classes, instead they opted to hire “the best of the best” cycling and yoga instructors. Their schedule so far includes Pedal to Nirvana combination classes, as well as a 60-minute cycling class and a 60-minute yoga class. Rodriguez aims to build the class offerings around what the community wants as far as times and ability levels so they encourage input from their riders and yogis. The first class is free and all pricing information and class sign-ups are available on bonaventour.com. The studio is at 13857 Carmel Valley Road, San Diego, 92130, and can be contacted at (858) 365-7416.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Horizon Prep in Rancho Santa Fe brings Christ-centered classical education to San Diego BY KRISTINA HOUCK Lauren Bothe didn’t feel like she could freely express herself in public school. Now an eighth grader at Horizon Prep in Rancho Santa Fe, Lauren is able to share her faith with others. “I wasn’t able to talk about my Christian faith. I wasn’t able to pray with the students or the teachers,” said Lauren, 13, who transferred to Horizon Prep when she was in fifth grade. “I can do that here.” Founded in 2000, Horizon Prep is an extension of Horizon Christian Fellowship church in Rancho Santa Fe. “All my super close friends go there,” said Lauren, whose family has attended Horizon Christian Fellowship since she was 2 years old. “We’ve just grown up in the church. Having the transition from the church to the school and doing both has been nice.” The private Christian school serves nearly 500 preschool through high school students. Horizon Prep welcomed freshmen to its campus this fall and plans to add a grade level each year through 12th grade. As a Christ-centered school, Horizon Prep integrates a Christian worldview into all subjects. “It helps you not only with the concepts of what you’re learning, but being able to incorporate it with everything you do helps you realize that God is everywhere,” said Lauren, who is currently enrolled in English, algebra, science, history, logic, Bible, Spanish, Latin and drama courses. “God is in history and English — even math. He is everywhere and everything we do is with Him.” In addition to offering a Christ-centered education, Horizon Prep follows a classical teaching model, focusing on grammar for elementary students, logic for middle school students and rhetoric for high school students. By adhering to this model, first-year Horizon Prep teacher Chris Maiocca said the school is a Christ-centered

school that strives for academic excellence. “I have never seen a Christian school where love for Christ has been united with a true commitment to academic excellence like at Horizon Prep,” said Maiocca, who has worked as a teacher in classical Christian education for six years. “In a lot of Christian schools, it tends to be either or — a high focus on academics but the love for the Lord seems to wax cold, or a great love for the Lord but not really a commitment to academic excellence. This school, I think, is unique. I see both very, very explicitly.” Maiocca, who teaches English, history and Bible classes, explained the differences between classical education and traditional education by comparing television shows “Iron Chef” to “Chopped.” “If you watch the show “Chopped,” many chefs don’t know what to do with the food. They’re simply stumped. A lot of it is because they’ve never been classically trained. They’ve learned how to make dishes. In other words, they’ve learned the subject, but they’ve truly never learned the art of learning,” Maiocca said. “But if you watch ‘Iron Chef,’ it doesn’t matter what the secret ingredient is. They know immediately what to do with it. That’s because those chefs have been classically trained. They simply haven’t been taught how to make a dish, they’ve been taught the grammar, the logic and the rhetoric of the culinary world. “We’re really trying to teach students the tools of learning, not simply just subjects.” Located at 6365 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe, Horizon Prep is hosting Open House events at 5 p.m. on Feb. 6, and at 9 a.m. on March 6 and April 10. An Open House at 9 a.m. on May 8 will focus on early education. For more information about Horizon Prep, call 858-7565599 or visit www.horizonprep.org.

Expert Kelly Griffin to speak on ‘The Wild World of Succulents’ Feb. 10 at Del Mar Fairgrounds The San Diego Horticultural Society will present expert Kelly Griffin at its February meeting. Griffin will speak on “The Wild World of Succulents, Out of the Wild and into the Gardens” on Monday, Feb. 10, at Surfside Race Place at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The event will be held from 6-8:30 p.m. (the presentation starts at 6:45 p.m.). Griffin presents some of the strange, beautiful and wonderful plants (mostly succulent) that he has had the good fortune to see in his travels, sharing his passion to observe plants in the wild in order to understand how they grow, and under what conditions. He will share insights into the plants and habitats that are not well known. Griffin is manager of Succulent Plant Development for Altman Plants, the largest producer of succulents in the country. His inclination has been towards agaves, aloes and echeverias, but there are many more plants that have garnered his attention. As part of his life’s work, he has introduced more than 100 succulents and created many cultivars that have been nudging their way into gardens and patios. Griffin holds a degree in applied physics, but his love of plants continued to steer him towards horticulture as a career. Prior to his current position with Altman Plants he was curator of Xerophytes at Rancho Soledad Nursery where he was responsible for finding and creating new and different plants that could be utilized in garden settings. He has travelled extensively worldwide documenting plants and collecting seeds for propagation. Members free, guests: $15; Parking is free for everyone. Register/pay at the event checkin.
