RSF Association moving forward with plans for ‘fast, reliable’ fiber-optic network BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board voted to take a big step toward speedier wireless connectivity at its March 5 meeting, approving a consultant contract with Magellan Advisors to work on building a fiberoptic network in the Covenant. “I think everyone can agree that fast, reliable internet connectivity, or broadband, is crucial to the enhancement of this community,” said board member
Philip Wilkinson, who served on the broadband committee. “We’d love to see the Covenant brought into the 21st century.” Networks made of fiberoptic cable are capable of carrying significantly more information at faster speeds than traditional copper-wire networks. Fiber broadband can deliver as much as a gigabit (1 billion bits) per second. Wilkinson said it’s more See NETWORK, page 26

RSF School District to survey parents on Spanish program BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board approved sending a foreign language survey out to parents, after several requests that the district find a way to work Spanish back into the K-5 curriculum. At its March 5 meeting, the board unanimously approved an estimate from Social Science Research Laboratory to conduct the survey, an amount not to exceed $6,000. The board expects to make a decision on the Spanish program by June. Superintendent Lindy Delaney wanted to make sure that the survey first educates parents on where the district is in terms of curriculum minutes in a day and what the effects would be in adding Spanish. “There’s going to be some trade-offs, because there’s only so many minutes in a day and only so much money,” Delaney said. To help craft the survey, Delaney said she would like to get a small committee together, including a couple of parents. See SPANISH, page 26

look like at the intersections at Via de la Valle, El Montevideo and El Camino del Norte. The board has the option of certifying the county’s environmental impact report, preserving both
roundabouts and signals as solutions, or recommending that the county certify traffic signals instead of roundabouts. As signals are less costly at $1.5 million versus the $6 million roundabouts, the funding for signals

Two important committees made significant recommendations BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD In the March 5 RSF Association (RSFA) board meeting, on behalf of the ad hoc Technology Infrastructure Committee, Philip Wilkinson and Kim Eggleston presented the findings of the Magellan Advisors feasibility study for building a community-owned fiber optic network. The study addressed technical specifications, related cost considerations, community sentiment and revenue potential and payback. Magellan recommended that RSFA build the entire fiber-optic network, including the fiber connections all the way to the home. By building and owning the core network, RSFA can maintain control of its technological infrastructure. Among other benefits, having this control would allow RSFA to: 1) keep the network “open” to competing providers; 2) lease the network to other potential users including cell phone tower companies and utility “smart-grid” providers; and 3) keep the power to update, modernize, and/or expand the network, rather than leave those activities to the discretion of a
Ann Boon major service provider’s bottom line. Magellan also recommended that RSFA not be in the business of providing the actual services in the home. Instead, by contracting with any number of service providers, RSFA would transfer the responsibility to service providers for customer service and “in-home” equipment such as modems and routers. Based on the findings in the study, the Technology Infrastructure Committee recommended that the RSFA board take the next step to contract with Magellan to develop an in-depth business model. The due diligence will include getting hard numbers from engineers and contractors, obtaining letters of intent from service providers, and understanding the permitting

process from the county and how various state legislation could impact this project. The board authorized $100,000 for Magellan to undertake this next step. The contract will be subject to review by the both the Technology Infrastructure Committee and the Finance Committee. We hope to have the results back in about 60-90 days. Also at our March 5 meeting, the board heard a report from the Intersection Study Committee. The history on this report goes back many years. About 15 years ago, complaints increased to the Association about motorists using local streets to bypass traffic to and from Del Dios Highway. In response, the Association began looking for ways to improve traffic flow on the Del Dios/Paseo Delicias corridor. Many alternatives were investigated: various right-hand turn prohibitions; movable barricades; and traffic signalers (human and electric). Eventually, the county conducted a feasibility study on the use of roundabouts as traffic controls at three intersections along the corridor. Those intersections are: Camino del Norte, La Valle
Plateada/Montevideo, and Via de la Valle. In 2005, after preliminary designs for roundabouts were completed, the Association asked the County to prepare an Environmental Impact Report. The draft report was completed in early 2013. One of the conclusions it contained is that installing either roundabouts or traffic signals would greatly improve the functioning of the three intersections. Although the roundabouts performed slightly better than traffic signals in the analysis, the difference was not dramatic. On Feb. 7, 2013, approximately 140 residents attended a meeting of the Association board to hear the presentation on the draft environmental impact report. The duty of the board was not to approve or oppose roundabouts, but merely to oppose or not to oppose the report. After reviewing the staff report and listening to public testimony, the board voted not to oppose the environmental impact report. In addition, the board decided to work with the county on a preliminary design for traffic signals at each of the three intersections. The board established an Intersection
Study Committee to work with staff and the engineering consultant to evaluate the designs for traffic signals. The ISC report last week reviewed the findings in the original environmental impact report as well as the comparisons between designs for roundabouts and signalized intersections. The committee evaluated the two alternatives with respect to impacts on adjacent properties, community character, and the overall aesthetic of the intersections. The ISC voted to recommend that the preferred project be roundabouts. However, with substantial input from members sup-
porting signals, the board agreed more community input is needed before the Board should vote on which alternative to pursue. We want to ensure that Covenant members understand the impact of both alternatives, and especially roundabouts, on traffic flow, neighboring residents and the community as a whole. To their credit, the county has agreed to temporarily delay action on the environmental impact report in order to incorporate additional input from the Association. We will schedule a community meeting in the next few weeks. Details to follow soon. ann.boon@me.com

CCA coach resigns field hockey post amid allegations of bullying Kingsbury will continue as head lacrosse coach; other parents come to her defense before board BY KAREN BILLING The Canyon Crest Academy varsity field hockey coach has resigned amid allegations of bullying from some players and their parents. Coach Rebecca Kingsbury announced her resignation from that post at the San Dieguito Union High School District’s March 5 meeting before a crowd of about 20 supporters. “Please understand that this is not any admission of wrongdoing or guilt,” Kingsbury said in a tearful statement to the board. “I honestly believe that I am a good coach who always has, and always will, put her kids before anything else.” Kingsbury, who led CCA to a CIF field hockey championship in 2014 and was also named the 2014 CIF San Diego girls lacrosse coach of the year, faced allegations that she exhibited negative behavior such as verbal abuse and bullying which some parents documented back to the 2013-14 season. “I have never claimed to be an ‘easy’ coach, but I have always promised to be a fair one. I expect my girls to perform at their own highest level every day,” said, Kingsbury, who has worked as a coach at CCA for seven years. “I raise the bar high, and I give everything of myself to help them get over it.” Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that the district has accepted her resignation
from coaching the field hockey team, and looks to move on. She will continue as head lacrosse coach. Rajy Abulhosn, a member of one of the six families who brought their issues with the coach before the board two weeks ago, said that Kingsbury not returning as field hockey coach is appropriate and “long overdue.” “We obviously know that these issues are not confined to one coach, one sport, one program or one district,” Abulhosn said. “We want to use this as an opportunity to help CCA and SDUHSD establish firm guidelines and policies that are followed each and every time so that if or when it occurs again, the school has procedures in place to help those students who have been affected.” Kingsbury said she had been aware of the allegations against her for several months as she had worked closely with the administration as they investigated the claims. She said Principal Karl Mueller “diligently investigated” every allegation, and they frequently discussed areas of improvement. Kingsbury said she worried about setting a bad example for her players by bowing out when things got hard, as well as setting a precedent for other coaches faced with similar challenges. But as she told Mueller and the board See COACH, page 24
MARCH
RSF District studies solar options on campus BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District is considering the possibility of going solar on its R. Roger Rowe campus. At a March 5 meeting, the board heard an update from Debra Vaughn-Cleff of Webb Cleff Architecture and Engineering on a couple of ways the district could approach a solar project at their school. One option would provide the school with a 10 percent offset and the other would aim for the “sweet spot,” a 60 to 80 percent offset. The “sweet spot” option comes at a cost of $750,000 to $1 million. Vaughn-Cleff said the district could decide to pay for the system and own it, or it could opt for a power purchase agreement in which the installation is owned and operated by the solar developer and the school pays the developer for the electricity produced by the panels. The funding for the solar project would probably come out of the district’s capital funds or operating budget, according to Superintendent Lindy Delaney. Vaughn-Cleff gave an overview of possible locations for solar installations. For the 10 percent offset option, Vaughn-Cleff said the best option for solar would be panels housed on the new two-story buildings. For the large amount of 60 to 80 percent offset, Vaughn-Cleff See SOLAR, page 26
Pool-health club committee seeks input BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Pool and Health Club Committee is seeking input from residents on the planning of a proposed facility for the Covenant. Residents are encouraged to sign up to attend three small, professionally guided focus groups to weigh in on the amenities they would like to see in the facility.

22nd DAA continues to seek new uses for struggling Surfside Race Place BY JOE TASH Officials with the 22nd District Agricultural Association, the entity that operates the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds, describe the property’s 91,000-square-foot satellite wagering center as “beautiful,” “fabulous,” and one of the finest such facilities in the nation. The Surfside Race Place, which was completed in 1991 at a cost of about $12 million in state funds, contains enough space for as many as 5,000 customers a day to watch and bet on televised feeds of live horse races from around California, the United States and even the world. But in recent years, attendance and revenue at the center have plummeted. According to statistics provided by the district, 108,000 people visited the Surfside Race Place in 2010, and that number had dropped to 62,068 by last year. A recent district staff report pegged average daily attendance at 300 to 350. Net revenue has also dwindled from $471,771 in 2010, to $128,489 in 2014. District officials say changes in the industry, such as the rise of Internet gaming, Indian casinos and other types of gambling and entertainment options, have fueled the decline, which has hit satellite wagering centers across the state. As far back as 2010, the chairman of the California Horse Racing Board was quoted as saying that satellite wagering “doesn’t appear to be a sustainable business model any longer.” According to published reports, a number of satellite wagering centers in California have closed their doors. Del Mar officials don’t plan, however, to shutter the Surfside Race Place. Instead,
they are looking at alternative uses for the building to complement satellite wagering. “We need to turn that (building) into an income-producing property for us,” said Stephen Shewmaker, a 22nd DAA board member who sits on a committee charged with finding new uses for the Surfside Race Place. “So it’s not only standing on its own two feet, but providing us with a revenue stream as well.” The question, though, is what to put in the building that would be consistent with the fairgrounds’ mission of promoting agriculture, education, entertainment and recreation, while not conflicting with such major events as the San Diego County Fair, summer and fall horse racing meets, and other activities throughout the year. For the past two years, the district has been actively researching potential new uses for the building, but has hit some snags. The district declined, for different reasons, to embrace proposals for a high-end movie complex, a bowling and entertainment center, and a micro-brewery to be operated by a subsidiary of beer giant MillerCoors. Last fall, a request for proposals from local brewers to build a craft brewery generated no bids. Tim Fennell, the fairgrounds’ CEO and general manager, insists that a craft brewery remains a possibility, as well as a beer tasting room, restaurant and entertainment or music venue. “Nothing is off the table,” he said. He acknowledges, however, that the district must find additional, revenue-generating uses for the building, because of the decline in satellite wagering, which appeals mostly to an “older demographic.”
One fair board member acknowledged the Surfside Race Place satellite wagering center is “dramatically underutilized.” Courtesy photo “There are opportunities, in my opinion, that would complement what we do on the grounds and fall within our mission statement,” he said. As for a timeline, he said, “I would be very disappointed if, by this time next year, we didn’t at least have a good solid plan going forward,” Fennell said, if not seeing some new elements already up and running. On a recent Friday morning, Surfside general manager George Bradvica and supervisor Kevin Buenafe took a reporter on a tour of the building. On the ground floor is a general admissions room including rows of tables, multiple TV screens and betting windows. Next door is a theater, where customers can gaze up at races on big-screen TVs, or use smaller monitors mounted into consoles at their seats. Upstairs, a members-only club (which horse racing enthusiasts can also access by paying a day-use fee) offers another place for relaxing, betting and dining from a full menu.
The Surfside Race Place also has a number of large spaces that can be rented for private events, such as an outdoor patio overlooking the horse racing track, and an enclosed room with a bank of windows above the adjacent Del Mar Arena. In May, the groundfloor room will be used for a major horse auction, and the animals will be led in and out of the building through large roll-up doors. That will be the first return of horse sales to Del Mar since the early 1990s, Bradvica said. The facility also hosted this week’s 22nd DAA board of directors meeting, which Shewmaker arranged so his board colleagues could get a first-hand look at the facility. In the past, the building has been used for meetings where large crowds were anticipated, such as a 2011 debate over whether elephant rides should continue to be offered at the San Diego County Fair. Although the Friday morning crowd was sparse, Bradvica said business would pick up in the afterSee PLACE, page 23

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ONE PASEO. The 1Kid organization brings art kits and classes to children in need. Taylor Austin, Tori Austin, 1Kid founder Micaela Roy and Sam Parkes led a recent arts and crafts workshop at the Ronald McDonald House.
RSF teen’s 1Kid fundraiser March 28 supports art in hospitals, schools BY KAREN BILLING The 1Kid nonprofit, an organization founded by Rancho Santa Fe teenager Micaela Roy, will host its first big fundraiser, “The Starry Night Art Show,” on Saturday, March 28, at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. 1Kid seeks to help children in low-income schools and hospitals use art to develop creativity and identity, and find healing through self-expression. Both high school and professional artists have donated art for sale at the event and guests will enjoy desserts, wine and live music performed by Torrey Pines High musicians. The evening begins at 7 p.m. Micaela, a 17-year-old junior at Torrey Pines High School, is an artist herself and had the idea of building art kits to bring supplies to schools that were lacking. She also wanted to extend the kits to children in hospitals, giving them something to do that would brighten their days. She approached her parents with the idea of 1Kid, and they helped her set it up as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Then they got out of the way and let Micaela steer.
“We think it’s awesome that she has been so driven to do this, and that she keeps on looking for ways to improve her organization, ” her mother Lita said. 1Kid Clubs have formed at Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest Academy. Micaela gets help at Torrey Pines from co-vice presidents Victoria Austin and Kaitlyn Garber, and Mikayla Chang is the president of the CCA club. Each group raises funds and pools resources to provide art classes and art kits to kids in need. After donating kits to low-income schools in Tijuana and Indonesia and to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Micaela connected with Rady Children’s Hospital. Rady encouraged 1Kid to work with the families at Ronald McDonald House. Last month, a group of 1Kid volunteers was able to do arts and crafts with the young siblings of Rady patients living at Ronald McDonald House, providing a creative and fun vehicle for psychological healing.

Lecturer aims to put Russian actions into historical perspective BY JOE TASH Reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has a psychological disorder don’t hold water, according to a veteran Canadian diplomat who spoke recently at a public forum in Rancho Santa Fe. “I don’t think he’s nuts. I think he’s extraordinarily vain,� said Jeremy Kinsman, who met the autocratic Russian leader in 1995, when Kinsman was Canadian ambassador to Russia, and Putin was deputy mayor of St. Petersburg. “He’s a showman.� Kinsman retired from the Canadian Foreign Service in 2006 after a 40-year diplomatic career. In addition to his service as ambassador to Russia, he was his country’s top representative in London, Rome, Brussels and a number of former Soviet republics. A resident of Vancouver Island with his wife, Hana, Kinsman has continued to lecture and write about foreign policy since his retirement, and has served as a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley and Ryerson University in Toronto. Kinsman spoke at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe as part of the View-
The Rev. Jack Baca introduces Ambassador Jeremy Kinsman. See more photos on page 7. Photos by Jon Clark points lecture series, which is co-sponsored by the church and the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. An audience of 240 listened raptly to Kinsman’s talk, which touched on a century of Russian history as a window to understanding the current mindset and motivations of the country and its leaders. During a question-and-answer session after Kinsman’s talk, the retired diplomat discounted rumors that Putin was behind the recent assassination of a prominent opposition figure. “(Putin) didn’t order the killing of Boris Nemtsov,� Kinsman said. “I think he was shocked by this. He’s a control freak, and this is something he doesn’t control.�
According to Kinsman, Nemtsov was marginalized, and didn’t pose a direct threat to Putin, at least in part because he didn’t have access to television networks, which are heavily controlled by the state. More likely, Kinsman said, Nemtsov was killed at the behest of ultra-nationalists who objected to his protests regarding Russian military action in the Ukraine, Islamic jihadists focused on his Jewish heritage or his comments about terrorist killings in France, or possibly even rich Russian businessmen infuriated by his anti-corruption stance. Whoever was behind the killing, said Kinsman, a well-organized hit can be arranged fairly cheaply and easily in Moscow. Nemtsov was shot in the back near the Kremlin on the night of Feb. 27 as he walked home from dinner with his girlfriend. Russians endured many traumatic and destabilizing events during the 20th century, including a communist revolution, two World Wars, repression and genocide by dictator Josef Stalin, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s. As the Cold War ended, Kinsman said, “Russians felt like losers.� Putin came to power in 2000 promising to restore stability and security, and “he delivered,� which is why his approval ratings still stand at 85 percent among Russians. Although Putin is highly intelligent, “He does have flaws that Shakespeare would have gone after like red meat for a new play.� For example, although the Russian leader is very competitive, he doesn’t want people to compete with him, which is why he cracks down on opposition leaders. Regarding Russia’s military aggression in response to unrest in Ukraine, Kinsman said,
YOUR OWN PRIVATE JET
“He saw (the protests) as being mostly stimulated by outside forces to try to remove Ukraine from Russian influence,� and was concerned such protests might migrate to back to Russia. Essentially, he said, neither side — Russia or America — understands the other. Going forward, he said, Russia and Putin — or his successor — will have to decide whether or not to engage with the West on such issues of concern as Syria, Iran and Islamic State terrorism. Among the audience at Kinsman’s talk were Bill and Kathryn Gang of Rancho Santa Fe, who lived in the former Soviet Union around the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall in the late 1980s, when Bill Gang was part of a joint U.S.-Soviet business venture. The Russians are “wonderful people,� Bill Gang said, but “It was a hard place to live. You couldn’t buy food.� The couple were fortunate to be able to order supplies from Helsinki, Finland, during their stay. Kathryn Gang said she appreciated how Kinsman put current events in historical context. “He was trying to give a perspective of why the people are like they are,� she said. “It makes sense if you understand their history.� The Viewpoints series was launched four years ago, and three or four lectures are held each year, said Christy Wilson, executive director of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. Kinsman’s talk was timely, and on point with the objectives of the lecture series, Wilson said. “The mission is to inform, inspire and impact. This was a really good example of that mission,� she said.

RSF Golf Club lands prestigious Kosta Browne, Peter Michael winemaker dinners The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is bringing top-rated wineries Peter Michael and Kosta Browne to Rancho Santa Fe for exclusive winemaker dinners on May 7 and June 25. The wine dinner series will pair some of the finest wine selections with cuisine from Executive Chef Brian Freerksen. Both evenings will begin at 6 p.m. with a reception, followed by a four-course dinner. According to RSF Golf Club Manager Al Castro, the wine committee at the club has been working on bringing both wineries to the Ranch for the past 18 months. The May 7 Peter Michael Winery dinner will feature Paul Michael, son of winery founder Sir Peter Michael.
Peter Michael’s cabernet sauvignon blend Les Pavots and estate chardonnays such as La CarriÊre and Ma Belle-Fille routinely earn top ratings from Wine Spectator. More recently, Peter Michael’s pinot noirs from the Sonoma Coast, such as Le Caprice and Clos du Ciel, have been successful. The June 25 dinner with Kosta Browne will feature winemaker and winery founder Michael Browne. Kosta Browne has emerged as one of California’s top pinot noir producers and has earned top reviews from Wine Spectator. Their intensely flavored and balanced wines come from the finest regions in California. Seating is very limited for both events. For reservations, call 858-756-1182.
RSF Golf Club considers ‘extended family,’ ‘significant other’ membership categories BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is considering two new membership categories granting playing privileges to significant others and extended family. The Rancho Santa Fe Association board gave feedback on the proposed categories at its March 5 meeting. RSF Golf Club Manager Al Castro said the “extended family� membership targets those who have not used their membership for several years, but do not intend to move out of the Covenant. Rather than cancel their membership, it would allow their children or grandchildren to continue using the membership. “This provides a method for the Golf Club to keep a membership active and avert a cancellation, particularly when there is not new ownership on the new parcel,� Castro said. The designee pays a transfer fee of $10,000. The “significant other� membership is for the number of golf members who are unmarried or divorced but living with a significant other. Only one request may be submitted per fiscal year and only one significant other is allowed, which prompted a few chuckles at the meeting. The golf club is also cleaning up its “former resident member� category by eliminating the resident associate member category. Resident associate members are those who were Covenant homeowners for at least 10 years who no longer own property in Covenant, yet have the same rights as a regular member, including the right to vote. These members will be folded into the “for-
mer resident� category: 10-year club members who no longer own property in the Covenant, do not have voting rights and pay 10 percent additional dues. The board was strongly in favor of this change as well as the “significant other� category, but less enthusiastic about the “extended family� membership. Board members remarked that the volume of different membership types being created was confusing, and that the emphasis always seems to be allowing more people who live outside the Covenant to participate. Board member Kim Eggleston encouraged the golf board to think more “globally� and more “long-term,� such as how the club will survive if it gets down to 350 members (membership stands at 499). He said dues are kept relatively low in comparison with other clubs, and yet there is a barrier to join with the $50,000 entry fee. One of the fastest-growing categories has been the junior executive membership, which allows younger members to join and pay $50,000 in installments. He said even if they doubled their monthly fees, they would still be “incredibly competitive.� Eggleston said they should consider offering a menu of entry fees, to allow people to join at a lower up-front cost but pay more in monthly dues. “I’d like to see a more long-term perspective instead of this Band-Aid approach,� Eggleston said. Vice President Craig McAllister agreed that the emphasis should be on lowering the barrier of entry to all members of the community, rather than allowing more nonCovenant residents to participate.

TOP PRODUCING AGENT It must have been my lucky day when I listed my house with Janet Lawless Christ. Janet didn’t just put my house on lock box and rely on brokers seeing it on the multiple listing service. She SOLD my house by bringing buyers and brokers to the house in carefully arranged circumstances. The result was multiple offers and a good selling price within three weeks of the “for sale” sign going up. Janet guided me through every step of the process. Her knowledge of the market is only exceeded by her truly caring attitude. When we started searching for a new home, Janet was equally hard working, astute, and caring. She told me that three things were important to her. She wanted a house that would suit my family, one with a good resale value, and one I was happy with. All three goals were achieved, although it took a lot of work on her part. She held my hand every step of the way. She made me feel valued and important. The result was two smooth transactions, and I learned a lot about real estate. Thank you so very much, Janet.

CCA’s TEDxYouth event brings ideas to the table March 29 BY DIANE Y. WELCH For some Canyon Crest Academy students facing global issues and starting a conversation about solving them cannot come quick enough. CCA’s TEDxYouth organizers have created a short-format event that will be held at the school campus on March 29 to bring the conversation into the present. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events devoted to ideas worth sharing. The free event, “We Can’t Wait: Conversations That Matter,” will feature three TEDx expert speakers and a music performer, who will address some of the issues affecting the young generation, according to Sonia Rhodes executive producer, licensee and curator for TEDx youth San Diego. It will be attended by 400 high school students from all over San Diego, who applied to participate. In November, when talks first started Students at a previous TEDx event. about the event planning, grim news domi- Courtesy photo. nated the media. “The Ferguson riots had erupted, the campus sexual assault crisis was all over the news, teen suicide was ramping up, there was a global crisis of a magnitude that started to feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, we are this young generation and we want to be the ones that change everything. How can we if we don’t engage in these conversations?’” said Rhodes. With the aim of cultivating empathy and widening circles of compassion, the threehour engagement is a mini-version of CCA’s signature November TEDx day that is also in the planning phase. The idea came from topics — shared among student organizers — about current affairs that directly affect high school students and their immediate futures. The “We Can’t Wait” theme has a dual meaning. “On the one hand, there’s no time to waste — we have to talk about these issues now,” explained CCA junior Annika Patton, one of the organizers. “But also it is the sense of excitement and being so thrilled to be able to tackle these issues, and that we are the ones to positively impact the future.” Annika and CCA senior Nick Ravazzolo have been working hard behind the scenes to make the event happen. Seventeen students are on committees, paired with business or educational mentors who have the skill-set matched with each committee role. Committees include video and tech teams, a speaker team, a sponsor team, a hospitality team and more. Annika — on the speaker team — said she had to become an “expert at sending a lot of emails ... and tweeting.” But more so, her main job was to foster the relationship with each speaker. “We help them shape their talks, to pinpoint what ideas they can share with our audience, and to make sure what they are saying is relevant to our lives.” Nick — on the hospitality team — learned about business strategy, communication and rejection. “It’s easy to say ‘no’ to an email or phone call, but when you have a group of kids physically in your store, it’s a lot harder to say ‘no,’” he said. Added Annika, “It’s a great sense of pride for us — we get to have our hands in everything. The adult mentors guide us and push us to be independent and make it happen so we are learning very valuable life skills.” The event speakers, whose names have yet to be released, include a college professor, a civil rights leader, and an urban educator who will talk about new ways to imagine current event crises not generally addressed in schools, along with a singer-songwriter who has written a song specifically for the event. “The talks aren’t meant to necessarily prescribe something to fix these issues, but more to create a dialog between the attendees and the speakers to make all the students more cognizant about what is going on around them,” said Nick. As an innovative short-format TEDx event, it is hoped that TEDxYouth will serve as a model for others to replicate, said Rhodes. “It will also allow students to rapidly create a forum of dialog if more pressing topics comes up.”

Local residents co-hosting Bali yoga retreat as fundraiser BY KRISTINA HOUCK Two local yoga instructors are teaming up to raise more than hope for City of Hope. With City of Hope’s fifth annual Yoga for Hope set for June 13 at Petco Park, yoga instructors Stacy McCarthy and Heidi Shurtz are planning a unique fundraiser to raise awareness about the benefits of yoga, as well as funds for research, treatment and education programs: For one week in July, the pair will be hosting a yoga retreat to Bali. “It really goes hand-inhand,” said McCarthy, who has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for 17 years. “Yoga for Hope and City of Hope connects, renews, inspires and cures. That’s much of what we’re doing on a retreat.” Every year, McCarthy co-leads the master yoga class during Yoga for Hope. Having participated in the event since it first launched, she has helped make it the success it is today. Last year’s event raised more than $80,000 for City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading centers for cancer treatment and research, through more than 70 dona-
where she and her now-husband trained as yoga instructors for almost three months. “I was not expecting to come out of it wanting to change my career path,” said Shurtz, who has a degree in landscape architecture. “But I fell in love with teaching yoga.” Now a Carlsbad resident, she returned
to the island in 2011 and hosted her first Bali retreat in 2012, with another one the following year. “I wanted to find a way to bring people to Bali,” she said. “It’s just such an amazing place. The impact that it had on my life was so profound.” Although McCarthy has never been to

It’s a phenomenal thing.” Scheduled to co-lead the class again this year, McCarthy has looked for new ways to raise funds for the event. In previous years, she has hosted donation-driven yoga classes. This year, she and fellow yoga instructor Shurtz are traveling to Bali with a group of yogis July 12-18. A portion of the proceeds from the retreat will benefit City of Hope. “We want to give back to our retreat members, but we also want to give back to the community and help raise awareness,” Shurtz said. This is Shurtz’s third time hosting a yoga retreat to Bali. She and her husband, Jason Shurtz, lead retreats through their local business Yoga Retreats Bali. A Carmel Valley native and Torrey Pines High School alumna, Shurtz has been a yoga instructor for more than four years. After college in 2010, Shurtz traveled to Bali,
The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation is proud to support the annual Science Discovery Day at R. Roger Rowe School, to be held from 8:15 a.m.-3 p.m. April 3. Exploring science is an exciting and wondrous part of a child’s life and this day is focused on providing the students with fun learning and discovering opportunities. To ignite the sparks of curiosity, the well-tuned program will include these workshops: • Magnificent Magnets: Explore the magic of magnets and watch how they work. • Fun with the Sun: Build your own working UV necklaces that harness sun power! • Watershed Wonders: Guided by the pros at San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum, gain an understanding of watersheds and how they work. • Fantastic Forces: Interested in how a roller coaster works? The Fleet Science Center will explain how laws of motion are used to make that happen. • Gel Electrophoresis: Led by the talent-
ed scientists of the Salk Institute, conduct experiments with DNA by running gel electrophoresis. One highlight of this year’s Science Discovery Day is a visit from the one-and-only 17-foot-tall robotic electric giraffe, “Russell.” This artistic and impressively engineered robot has been busy traveling around the country and was even present at the White House Maker Faire with President Obama. The Maker Faire event was created because, as the president stated, this country needs to focus on math and science education to help the manufacturing industry in our country. Students will work with the brains behind the “Raffe” to learn how these large-scale robots are built. It’s sure to be something the students talk about (and find inspiration in) for days to come. Volunteer opportunities are available for friends and family. Contact Science Discovery Day chairs Lisa Russeth lisarusseth@ yahoo.com.au or Ken Buechler Kenbuechler@gmail.com to find out how to participate.

Historical Society’s annual Home Tour this year will become its first Barn Tour. Called “Boots, Bridles & Barns,” the tour is scheduled from 1-4 p.m. July 11. The tour will feature six different barns in Rancho Santa Fe that represent various aspects of horsemanship. “We are delighted with the reaction from members and barn owners. Their enthusiasm for such a tour is wonderful,” said Peggy Brooks, co-chairman of the Peggy Brooks, Jane Carlin and Helen DiZio of the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society are firming up plans for the tour. With more than 50 2015 Barn Tour. Courtesy photo miles of horse trails weaving through some 10 square miles and its proximity to the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Del Mar Horse Park, the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant is a community that is home to equestrian enthusiasts. “Our annual tour is the historical society’s biggest fundraiser,” explained John Vreeburg, president. “And we depend on the money raised to support our mission of preserving our history and educating others.” The historical society currently is working towards digitizing the material in its archives to make them more accessible to the community as well as students. It also is developing a program for Rancho Santa Fe schoolchildren to enhance their required study of their community and its history. Brooks says the group has developed a program to enable sponsor participation and will be reaching out to local businesses for support. Advance registration is expected to begin next month.

Chabad Jewish Center of RSF hosts ‘Purim: A Royal Affair’
Sarah and Miriam dressed as Queen Esther
The Rancho Santa Fe Jewish community gathered March 4 to celebrate the holiday of Purim in style at an event, “Purim: A Royal Affair,” presented by the Chabad Jewish Center of Rancho Santa Fe. The Grand Ballroom of the Morgan Run Resort and Club was transformed into a royal palace — all were welcomed by a very regal King Achashveirosh and Queen Esther. A royal masquerade of children in Purim costume was led on the red carpet by the RSF Bar Mitzvah club. Gragger Sounds were heard as the Megillah — the story of Purim — was
read aloud in its ancient scroll and tongue. Young and old, enjoyed the lavish dinner and triangular Purim treats, called Hamantashen. The event concluded with royal entertainment — a magnificent hypnotist show.

BY RANDI CRAWFORD In case you haven’t already figured it out, we are one messed-up society. My daughter and I went to Las Vegas last weekend for a cheer competition, and experienced more than the 3-minute cheer routine she had to perform. She’s a big fan of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” which plays a role in our experience and my shock at our societal values — and especially her generation. There’s a character on the show, Scott Disick, and apparently he’s the baby daddy for one of the Kardashian sisters. I’ve seen the show about five times (bonding moment with my daughter — I’ll take it however I can get it), and this guy, in particular, does nothing. I stand corrected: He drinks, has anger-management issues, and is incredibly arrogant. So I’ve asked my daughter, “Why does anyone like this guy? He’s not even a good dad!” This is assuming that I think Kim Kardashian, her sisters and their mother are worth watching. As it turns out, Scott Disick does do something. He shows up at nightclubs and hangs out. He doesn’t perform or sign autographs; he just gets paid to show up. Imagine my excitement when I found out that he was going to be at a nightclub on Saturday night. So while my daughter and I were enjoying a nice breakfast together, she insisted that I go clubbing so I could meet Scott Disick, since she was too young to go herself. Now I don’t know about you, but my clubbing days are somewhat behind me. Not to mention, I was there for a cheer competition and didn’t exactly have any clothes that would remotely make the cut. But when I saw how excited she was, I did what any idiotic mother would do, and decided to figure out how to get on the guest list. I managed to get two friends and myself on the list, and the first thing the host said to me after staring me up and down, was, “I’ll get you in, but you are aware that there is a strict dress code and you must be in a dress and heels, right?” I assured her that I had it under control. (Gulp)! After a full day of shopping for something to wear that evening, my friends and I were ready for a night on the town. We arrived to the club around 11:30 p.m. and were told that Scott
should be there by midnight. It soon became 12, then 12:30, and by 12:45 we decided that it probably wasn’t meant to be. (Sixinch heels aren’t really my thing.) But when we started walking out of the club, we noticed movement. Bouncers were on their radios, and the vibe was electric. The line to get into the club had grown to more than 100 people, and it was pure chaos. You would have thought Brad Pitt was in the building. The doors to a private entrance opened, and sure enough, it was lights, cameras, and action. Out walked Scott Disick and his entourage as if he had just won an academy award. This is what I don’t understand. Who is Scott Disick and why was everyone going nuts? They were shouting his name (OK, I did too, because I needed a picture for my daughter), jumping up and down, and dying to get into the club to be with him. This is our youth’s generation. These are the people they look up to. I honestly think that the Kardashians are more famous than famous people. I bet if Meryl Streep were in the building, there wouldn’t have been the same reaction. What is that about? Let’s look at the Kardashians: There’s the infamous sex tape, kids out of wedlock, an insane mother/ manager, and a former Olympic champion for a stepdad who is publicly transitioning into being a woman — who incidentally just caused an accident that tragically killed someone. Scott Disick didn’t hit 40 home runs last year, he hasn’t negotiated world peace, he isn’t an Academy award-winning actor or a best-selling novelist. He isn’t even a barista at Starbucks. Who is Scott Disick, and why do we care? It’s a Kardashian world and we’re just living in it. Thank you, reality TV, you have re- shaped our pop culture. God help our children. What say you? Email me at www.randiccrawford. com.
Members of the RSF Association have recently received a Covenant Health Club and Pool Questionnaire in the mail with one of the questions asking our opinion on how this proposed project should be funded. These are the choices listed: 1. Community Enhancement Fund 2. Conventional Loan 3. Community assessment 4. Donations 5. Some Combination of the Above It is our opinion that the project should be built and financed by covenant members who vote for it and assume responsibility for it, just like our golf and tennis clubs. Of 1,475 covenant members who voted whether or not to spend $350,000 to study this project, 762 voted for it and 713 voted against. If the final vote to approve this project comes in this close using a community assessment would be unfair and self-serving, and using the Community Enhancement Fund in total or part would be a breach of community intent because most of the $6 million was collected in the name of its former self, Open Space. A much better use of that $6 million would be to help connect those of us to the internet who have poor service which severely impacts covenant home sales, or undergrounding the unsafe and ill-placed utility poles around town, or calm our traffic woes on Paseo Delicious and El Camino Real and La Noria — issues that affect us all.

COACH continued from page 3
last week, if her presence became a bigger distraction for the program than it was a benefit, she would have to make the decision that was right for the girls, even at her own expense. When the matter was made public, Kingsbury said her kids were placed in an “impossible position” where they had to choose between their teammates and their coach, and she did not want that to continue. “As I’ve often told the girls, sometimes it’s just not your turn. It doesn’t mean you aren’t a good player, it doesn’t mean you aren’t a good person. Sometimes it’s just about chemistry and what makes sense on the field that day,” she said.
“There are going to be days when you are too tired, too hurt or too distracted to give 100 percent, and there is no shame for asking for a turn on the sidelines. I want to see CCA field hockey succeed in the future, and I’m willing to sit on the bench if that gives us the best possible chance.” Many parents took the opportunity to speak in Kingsbury’s favor, after players and parents had spoken out against her at Feb. 19 board meeting. Parent Rebecca Schmitt said she thought the situation came down to a disagreement over a coach’s behavior that is very typical of varsity sports. She said Kingsbury’s behavior was very much in line with that of other coaches, and if that is not acceptable, perhaps it is a community-wide issue
where all coaches, male and female, need to be held to the same standard. Several parents remarked that varsity sports are a “tough business” that require commitment, passion and mental toughness. Doug Rafner said his freshman daughter was on the sidelines a lot as a backup goalie, and said while she observed a lot of passion and desire to win, nothing gave her trouble with the way the coach was acting. “This is varsity competition at the highest level. Of course it’s going to be difficult. Of course it’s going to be grueling. But it’s going to be rewarding,” Rafner said. Several parents whose daughters played both field hockey and lacrosse under Kingsbury spoke on her behalf — saying that through six seasons of sports, they

never saw her behave in a way that was over the line. Parent Kimberly Carlson said her daughter graduated last year and now plays field hockey at Cornell. “I never once saw bullying exhibited by this coach in six seasons,” Carlson said. She said sometimes players have to serve as “understudies” and may not get the playing time they want. But, she said, it is not the coach’s job to make all players happy — her job is to help them develop their strengths to become better athletes and people. Abulhosn reiterated that the six families’ concerns were never about playing time.
He said it was unfortunate that they felt compelled to speak out in a such a public setting, but he felt it was one of the factors that helped the CCA administration, the board and the superintendent understand the severity of the situation. “Some seem to have a perception that this is a ‘victory’ or that there is a sense of happiness with this result. I can assure you there is nothing further from the truth. This has been a very stressful and difficult situation, especially for the brave student athletes who chose to come forward,” Abulhosn said. “I am not sure the word ‘happiness’ or ‘victory’ can be used at the end of a
process filled with feelings of self-worthlessness, inadequacy, torment and intimidation.” While no longer a part of the field hockey program, Kingsbury remains the head coach of CCA’s lacrosse team. “I’m confident that my girls know how hard I fought for them, and I’m hopeful that in stepping away from field hockey, I can teach them there is more than one way to be strong,” Kingsbury said. “I will continue to support the program in any way possible and will always be proud to be part of their family.”

than just allowing people to run their businesses from home, watch movies online or allow children to do their homework with Internet that moves faster than a snail’s pace — there are many services that can apply when you have fast broadband, such as emergency services, data storage and encryption. Wilkinson himself has a Nest thermostat in his home that can be controlled through an Internet connection. “The world is going this way, and it’s so important to have reliable, fast broadband in this community,” Wilkinson said. After conducting a feasibility study independently funded by Covenant residents Fred Luddy, Mike Licosati, Alex Kaiser, Eoin O’Shea, Todd Mikles and John Ryan, Magellan recommended that the Association build and own the entire $14 million fiber-optic network, allowing Rancho Santa Fe to maintain control of the technological infrastructure. It was also recommended that Rancho Santa Fe not be in the business of providing the actual service to homes. Wilkinson said this could be done though Internet service providers, any number of which could participate and give a “door fee” or royalty back to the Association for access to its infrastructure. Based on current and industry standard fees, the retail broadband provider could generate about $3.1 million a year based on 1,700 homes paying $140 month for the “triple play” (home phones, Internet and TV) and 100 businesses paying $250 a month. For a 10-year payback, Rancho Santa Fe would need to collect $1.4 million a

Bali, she has traveled around the world and has more than 20 years of teaching experience. In 1991, she helped launch the original Frog’s Athletic Club in Solana Beach, bringing yoga classes to the health club the next year. She began teaching in 1994. McCarthy and Shurtz met years ago at Pacific Athletic Club, now Bay Club Carmel Valley, where McCarthy is an instructor and Shurtz is a member. “We want to have an experience where people who practice yoga with us have more time, so we can really deepen our connection,” said McCarthy, who holds private classes and
year. Another option exists whereby the Association could grant entitlements to a developer to complete and manage the project. This would be at no cost to the Association; the risk would be transferred to the developer and the Association would still receive the revenue. The board voted to engage Magellan to complete the next steps as a consultant for $100,000 from the Covenant Enhancement Fund. Magellan would identify vendors, gain preliminary commitment from residents to perfect the revenue model, meet with the county and assess right-of-way issues for trenching or coring, write requests for proposals for qualified engineers, and most important, identify the revenue stream and revenue share with providers. “We can’t make an informed decision until we refine the business plan and determine if it’s something we want to build ourselves and pay for,” Wilkinson said. “We know there’s a need … but we can’t determine if we should own it or someone else should own it until that business plan is defined.” The network would take approximately 16 months to two years from start to completion. Wilkinson said Magellan’s feasibility was very positive and helpful. The study confirmed that it would be an expensive venture: $75,000 per mile and almost 100 miles in the Covenant that would need to be cored or trenched to build a backbone for broadband. Wilkinson said it was important that it be an open system, so multiple providers could be on the same system, and they wanted it to be “future proof,” since technology is ever-evolving. As part of their study, Magellan also completed a survey in which 500 Rancho Santa Fe residents responded. The survey found 97 percent of residents have Internet at home, and those residents rated the current service an average of 1.9 on a scale of 1 to 5. The survey showed 47 percent of residents have homebased businesses and 79 percent said they would be willing to pay a premium for quality services. “If we had sent the survey to the banks and real estate offices in town, we would have 100 percent positive response in ‘need for broadband in the community,’” Wilkinson said. Companies like Time Warner and Cox have said they would do the project for $30 million — the Association would pay, and they would come in and get the subscribers and all of the revenue. Broadband committee member Kim Eggleston said doing the project on their own is a way for the Covenant to no longer be “held hostage” by these large companies who don’t like Rancho Santa Fe’s sparse population demographics. For less money, the Association could build its own system and own it, or lay off the development rights and still participate in the revenue. “It’s a complete no-brainer to do it,” Eggleston said. “As a community, we’re castigated in the San Diego area as being ‘behind the times’,” said Eggleston. “This would allow us to leap-frog over the rest. We would be the community at the forefront of technology … people would want to locate here for that reason alone.” wellness retreats through her business, Yoga NamaStacy, which launched in 1999. She is also a yoga teacher and faculty member at MiraCosta College and offers classes on SprioFIT, a live, on-demand online fitness network. “It’s a very bonding and very spiritual area, where they will get away from their everyday life and also deepen their connection with their inner selves. We’re there to foster that and cultivate that.” The one-week retreat features daily yoga classes and cultural excursions. Up to 20 spots are available. “Being in a place like Bali lends itself to a transformative, deep and emotional experience,” Shurtz said. “It’s also a place to reconnect and refocus,” said McCarthy, noting that husbands and wives, as well as mothers and daughters, have signed up for the retreat. “Yoga does that.” Single occupancy rates are $3,400 and double occupancy rates are $2,600 per person. Group discounts are available for three or more people. A portion of the proceeds will benefit City of Hope. The last day to book is June 1. “Make time for yourself,” Shurtz said. “It’s important to take care of yourself. “If you really want to go, make it happen. You wont regret it.” For information or to register for the retreat, visit www. yogaretreats-bali.com.
SPANISH
continued from page 1
Delaney said she would also like to do a survey with the K-5 staff as well as the parents, to make sure teachers’ voices are also heard on what might not be taught if Spanish is added. The survey would include five options for a Spanish program. Trustee Richard Burdge said that he agreed with Delaney’s point on parent education. He said that the survey questions needed to be well prepared, including what will have to be taken away to make room for the program and what the costs will be. “It’s not like we’re swimming in money,” Burdge said, wondering whether adding Spanish will mean the amount asked per parent from the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation will need to increase to help supplement the program. Burdge said that they need to be mindful of costs, as the district is budgeting for zero property tax increases. Delaney added that the district is also facing a $200,000 increase in their contribution to employees’ California State Teachers Retirement System benefits. If the district opts for five-day-a-week Spanish, the cost is estimated at $250,000 and Delaney is not sure where the funding would come from. “I don’t think we can go into reserves for foreign language,” Delaney said. “There needs to be a real funding mechanism for a long time if we’re going to do it. I’m committed to doing it right, not to doing it just for the sake of doing it.” Delaney said she expects an informational letter will go out to parents on April 13, with the online survey to follow.

has not yet been identified, so construction may not occur for at least five or six years. Residents expressed frustration in how long the process has taken and didn’t want to see this board “kick the can down the road,: “stick their heads in the sand” or “drop anchor.” “The people living on these roads are impacted by excessive traffic every morning and afternoon,” said resident Daniel Bunn, noting that the roads most affected are El Camino del Norte, Lago Lindo, Mimulus, Avenida de Acacias, La Granada, Via de Santa Fe, and La Valle Plateada. “Roundabouts are a time-consuming and unrealistic burden to approve, fund and complete if selected …Wasting more time imposes a serious penalty to those living with this traffic problem at the end of their driveway every day. Please support installing traffic signals and get prompt closure on this long-overdue issue.” A town hall meeting within the next few months would allow the board to gauge the community’s current sentiments and hopefully build consensus, said RSF Association President Ann Boon. “This is a huge decision for the board and the community,” Boon said. “The decision that we make as a board will have a permanent impact.” The Association last held a meeting on the subject in February 2013. A large crowd attended as the board decided its response to the county’s draft environmental impact report on the roundabouts. At that meeting, the board took a “passive position” of not opposing the certification of the report with the recommendations that the county reduce the diameter of the La Valle Plateada/Montevideo and the Via de la Valle roundabouts and do a complete study of traffic signals at those intersections. The Association also voted to form the ad hoc intersection committee to work with the county on traffic signal design, as the alternative was never studied or designed in great detail. At the 2013 meeting, the community was divided over the issue, without a clear consensus to approve signals or roundabouts. Some favored roundabouts and some were strongly against them. Many said they would like to see traffic signals; others said traffic signals would set a bad precedent in the effort to keep the Ranch rural. At last week’s meeting, no one spoke in favor of roundabouts, and several community members present strongly urged traffic signals. Don MacNeil, who said he has attended every meeting on the subject for the past 10 years representing the interests of the Village Church, reiterated the church’s opposition to roundabouts as they will result in the taking of their property through eminent domain and the loss of 23 spaces from their parking lot. RSF resident Lisa Bartlett said roundabouts would drastically alter the face of Rancho Santa Fe forever; and while no one really wants traffic signals or roundabouts, the signals are far less intrusive for everyone who lives in the community. Speaking on behalf of resident Gerald Parsky, attorney Lisa McGee said traffic signals are a cost-effective solution that doesn’t intrude onto private property next to the intersections. Parksy urged the board to “expeditiously recommend” traffic signals as a solution to a problem that has been in existence for too many years, “I’d like to see it done while I’m still able to drive,” agreed resident Linda Hahn.
SOLAR continued from page 3
said they would look to do roof-mounted solar on the campus’ two story-building and solar canopies on the back of the campus, replacing the lunch structures and continuing on to the swing sets so the swings would be in the shade under the canopy.
Delaney said the district’s SDG&E bill is $14,000 to $20,000 a month and has substantially increased this year. Vaughn-Cleff said with the solar projects, the district could see a 30 percent reduction in its bill. President Todd Frank said it was a little shocking that they could be producing 80 percent of their own energy and reduce their bill only by 30 percent, but Vaughn-Cleff said that is because of the way SDG&E charges with demand. Delaney said if the district opted for the solar project, it would hope to have it implemented during summer 2016. The next step would be having a solar company come to the board for a detailed presentation.

Plein-air visions of San Dieguito River Park on display at Conservancy fundraiser BY KAREN BILLING The Plein-Air Painters of America (PAPA) will return to San Diego for their second art exhibition and sale from March 22 through May 3. “Art in Nature: Legacy of the Land” will feature more than 120 paintings by 20 members at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. The artists will be painting for several days before a gala fundraiser on March 21 that will benefit the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. Their “wet paintings,” along with studio works created from earlier visits, will document a variety of coastal, rural and urban scenes along the 55-mile Coast to Crest Trail. The gala will also include a lecture on collecting art by Jean Stern, author of “California Light” (2009) and director of the Irvine Museum. Last year’s gala raised $45,000 for the Conservancy, and Plein-Air Painters of America President Gil Dellinger hopes that they can pass that total this year. “We are honored to once again represent visually the many habitats that comprise this magnificent landscape, including its inland and beach park areas,” Dellinger said, adding that a percentage of each work of art sold goes to the Conservancy. “This is a win-win event — as artists, we get to paint in a dynamic landscape (and) art collectors get to enjoy that landscape through evocative paintings in their homes, while contributing to its protection and sustainability now and into the future through the efforts of SDRVC visionaries.” The exhibition is being presented by The Art in Nature Alliance, a partnership of the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, along with the Plein-Air Painters and the Conservancy. Several Rancho Santa Fe community members have become involved in the “Legacy of Art” show, including Martin and Carol Dickinson and Suzy Schaefer. For several years, a much-loved PAPA show was held on Catalina Island before being discontinued. Bringing the show back to life in San Diego was the result of a fateful dinner atWilliam Griffith’s “In Laguna Canyon.” tended by the Dickinsons, Conservancy board member Chris Khoury, his wife, Linda Corey, and her relative: plein air artist Ralph Orberg.

Martin Dickinson, an art collector, has been very active with the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, helping put on the prestigious Prix de West art show.

‘Curious Savage’ set to play March 20-22 CCA students play in Pacific at Village Church Community Theater The Village Church Community Theater presents “The Curious Savage,” a thought-provoking comic tale that will challenge you to discover again the values of kindness and affection lost in a world that seems motivated at times by greed and dishonesty. Ethel Savage, a new widow, has been left with a substantial fortune. Her three grown children — a senator, a judge and a golddigger of a daughter — are intent on keeping her from disposing of it as she chooses. So they conspire to have her committed to a private sanatorium known as “The Cloisters.” There, Ethel is left to work out how she will deal with her spiteful offspring, while getting to know the colorful characters who live in the facility. “The Curious Savage,” by John Patrick, is a play filled with heart where the neglected virtues of good-

Topics covered will include curriculum, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and more. Today’s update focuses on Prop AA building projects.
Prop AA Building Projects When the San Dieguito Union High School District placed Proposition AA on the ballot, we made many promises to the community. We promised that the improvements to our schools would prepare students for 21st-century colleges and careers. We also promised that we would use the bond funds in a responsible, costefficient way. I am proud to say we are keeping those promises. We are nearing completion of a new science building at Torrey Pines HS, we will be starting a new math and science building at San Dieguito High School Academy this summer, media center upgrades are coming to Oak Crest Middle School, and we will continue to expand our network and wireless bandwidth throughout the district. Pacific Trails Middle School will open this fall in Pacific Highlands Ranch to meet the growing population. One elementary school just opened nearby, with another planned. Over the next two
Rick Schmitt years, we plan to rebuild Earl Warren Middle School (our oldest middle school) and renovate the 40-yearold academic classrooms at Torrey Pines High School with modern, energy-efficient infrastructure. We will also begin design and construction of the final classroom building at Canyon Crest Academy to expand its enrollment capacity due to a rapidly increasing student population in the southern portion of our district. A new two-story English, social sciences and arts building at San Dieguito High School Academy is also in the works. All of the projects we have completed so far have been on-time and at or below budget — a tribute to the efficient work of our staff and the competitive processes we have in place to drive down costs, award contracts, and hold contractors responsible. I would also like to thank the members of the Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee who hold us equally accountable to our community.
We are working on issuing our next series of bonds to fund all of the work mentioned above. We will not be issuing capital appreciation bonds that other districts have used that drive up interest costs. The current market conditions are favorable, and we expect to keep the payback ratio below 2:1, as we did with our first series of bonds issued in 2013. Our commitment to honor the estimated tax rate promised to voters is solemn. Our Board of Trustees will consider the issuance of our next series of bonds at its meeting at 6:30 p.m. March 19 at Carmel Valley Middle School in the Media Center, 3800 Mykonos Lane, San Diego. Once we have completed the bond sale, I will report back to you on the results.
SPECIAL HS Enrollment Important Announcement On Wednesday, March 18, at exactly 3:30 p.m., the San Dieguito Union High School District will tweet (Twitter) information regarding the 2015-16 High School Selection requests. A follow-up Facebook post will be made exactly at 3:45 p.m. Later in the week, specific details will be sent via email to each family. You can follow Superintendent Schmitt on Facebook, (https://www.facebook.com/ sduhsd), and Twitter, (https:// twitter.com/SDUHSD_Supt).

Shared Belief runs away with Santa Anita Handicap Shared Belief, with Mike Smith aboard, blew away his rivals in the $1 million, Grade I Santa Anita Handicap on Saturday at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. Moreno was 4 1/4 lengths back in second, with Catch a Flight a head farther back in third. “I was watching the TV from the quarter-pole to the wire, and I feel bad to say this, but I was trying to not win by so far,” Smith said. “It was a handicap, I was wanting to not do that. As they say — don’t squeeze a lemon if you don’t have to.” The 4-year-old Shared Belief — carrying high weight of 125 pounds — covered the 1 1/4 miles in 2:00.67, and now has 10 wins in 11 starts. He is trained by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer, and owned by Jim Rome’s Jungle Racing, Jason Litt, Alex Solis II, George Todaro, KMN Racing and Hollendorfer. The gelding — who was the 2-year-old champion male in 2013 — was bred by Marty and Pam Wygod of Rancho Santa Fe. Hollendorfer said in a radio interview on Sunday morning that Shared Belief will most likely run next on April 11 in the Grade II Oaklawn Handicap at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas. Photo by Kelley Carlson

Succulents are far from dry subject for SB nursery owner turned author BY KRISTINA HOUCK After selling succulents for more than two decades, Solana Beach’s Jeff Moore is finally sharing his tips and tricks with the greater community. The owner of Solana Succulents nursery released his first book on succulents last fall and is working on the follow-up. “I love what I do,” Moore said. “I thought I could bring a really good book to people. After all, I’ve been doing it for 22 years.” Published in October, “Under the Spell of Succulents,” offers an overview of succulent plants and details how collectors, growers, landscapers and others engage with them. The 244-page book features more than 800 vivid photos, almost all of which Moore has captured over the years. Moore first built the book on Blurb, a self-publishing platform, and then hired a graphic designer to redesign and fine-tune the copy and formatting. He started the project more than three years ago, after friends and customers repeatedly asked him to write a book on the diverse and colorful plants. “I felt I had it in me. I have a library, and I thought I could do better than most of these,” said Moore as he gestured toward his books at his nursery off Highway 101 in Solana Beach. Born in Newport Beach, Moore and his family moved to Solana Beach when he was 6 years old. A succulent enthusiast for more than 30 years, the Torrey Pines High School alum has owned and operated Solana Succulents since 1992. Moore started off as a collector in the mid-1980s. His first purchase was a succuMoore owns Solana Succulents off lent bonsai. Highway 101. “I thought they were really weird and cool,” said Moore, who first spotted the plant at a Del Mar Fair exhibit. “So I went and got a couple of those plants. And as collections go, you end up with more and then your patio is full. It just happens that way.” Today, it’s Moore who holds exhibits at the San Diego County Fair. He has had an exhibit every year at the fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for more than 20 years. One year, he created a garden that looked like a coral reef. It was such a big hit, he brought the exhibit back the following year and also took it on the road to the Philadelphia Flower Show. In the mid-2000s, he also installed a permanent undersea-themed succulent garden at Encinitas-based San Diego Botanic Garden, formerly Quail Botanical Gardens. “That’s how a lot of people know me,” he said. The collector-turned-nursery owner has also become the go-to speaker on succulents for

He travels around the county and across the state giving presentations at garden-focused associations and organizations. So it was only a matter of time before he wrote his first book, which he also self-published. With only 1,500 copies printed, more than half have already been sold. Wanting his words to inspire, Moore hopes the book creates new succulent enthusiasts. “It’s either going to reaffirm what they love, or hopefully, it will convert some new people who are just getting started,” said Moore, who is completing his second book, which is focused on aloes and agaves. “Under the Spell of Succulents” is available at Moore’s nursery, Solana Succulents, and on his website at www.solanasucculents.com. Copies are also available at Courtyard Pottery and SoLo on Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach, as well as Warwick’s in La Jolla, San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas and Cuyamaca College in El Cajon.

Challenged Athletes Foundation Gala honors legacy of Robin Williams The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) held its first “A Celebration of Will, A CAF Gala” event March 7 to honor the legacy of actor and philanthropist Robin Williams. The event, held at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa, paid tribute to Robin Williams, a longtime CAF supporter. Each dollar raised will be matched by an anonymous donor and placed in the Challenged Athletes Foundation Endowment in memory of Robin Williams, with the goal of funding $2 million to help thousands of challenged athletes over the years to come. More than $3 million ended up being raised at the Gala. Highlights of the gala included dance performances by Amy Purdy, CAF athlete from “Dancing With the Stars,” sports legends, a live auction, and a moving tribute to the film and comedic career of Robin Williams. The event offered personal interaction with challenged athletes, allowing attendees to experience firsthand how their generosity truly changes lives.

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFP®
Do trees really grow to the sky? Do escalators only go up? Melissa Collins-Porter and Craig Young are the co-producers of “Aging Out,” a documentary that will look at the challenges faced by people with autism when they become adults. Photo by Pam Kragen
North County duo seek funding for documentary on autistic adults • Film will explore the challenges facing those with the disorder as they try to live meaningful, productive lives BY PAM KRAGEN SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW Liam Porter loves wall calendars. Whenever the La Costa eighth-grader needs to sit quietly and focus, his mom hands him an oversize datebook and he’ll spend hours filling it with handwritten schedules and plans for his future. But the calendar pages for what happens after the 14-yearold finishes high school are ominously blank. Liam is part of the “autism tsunami,” a fastbuilding wave of teens with autism Liam Porter of La Costa is who will 15 1/2 and moderate on soon enter the autism spectrum, says adulthood his mom. — Melissa with limited Collins-Porter educational, employment and living options. Rather than wring her hands over her son’s uncertain future, Melissa Collins-Porter is looking for creative and positive solutions. With Del Mar filmmaker Craig Young, she is developing a documentary film called “Aging Out,” which will look at new ways that adults with autism spectrum disorders can have meaningful, productive lives. “I’ve had to chip away at all things I hoped for him — college, marriage, kids … To me, the only thing that matters now is that he’s happy,” she said. “He tells me he wants to live independently, go to college and have a wife or girlfriend, and I want to help him achieve those things. Nobody wants to be warehoused or locked away and
stuck in front of a TV. He deserves so much more.” Liam’s autism is moderate on the spectrum, which means that he can seem pretty normal most days. But when things don’t go according to plan, he can have very bad days, Collins-Porter said. He attends the autism-focused TERI Campus for Life Country School in San Marcos and has told his parents that when he graduates, he plans to go to UC Berkeley. That and some of Liam’s other goals may be unrealistic, but it’s a common thread of conversations Collins-Porter and her husband, Rob Porter, have had with other parents of adolescents with autism. Figuring out what comes next is a growing priority for the national consortium Advancing Futures for Adults with Autism, which says that of the estimated 1.5 million Americans with an autism spectrum disorder, roughly 80 percent are under age 22. Collins-Porter, who has taught film studies for the past 12 years at MiraCosta College, said she came up with the idea to tell this story on film last fall after reading a New York Times article about Sweetwater Spectrum. The Sonoma campus, which opened in 2013, is a supported-living community for adults with autism where residents can live independently, work in a community farm and take part in on-site recreational and cultural activities. The community was conceived by parents of autistic adults who wanted them to have an independent and more productive future. Today, the majority of adults with autism live with parents, are on 8- to 10-year waiting lists for group homes, or are living in assisted care or nursing homes that are not adapted for their needs. Collins-Porter said she was rocked to the core when another mother told her she was taking vitamins so she could outlive her child. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism is the fastest-growing disability in the country, affecting 1 in 68 chilSee AUTISM, page B22

hat do the stock market, trees and escalators have in common? Only two have gone up since 2009. This year should be OK (but it won’t last forever). Here’s why: Imagine you received a credit card with a $50,000 limit. Even better, you’d pay 0 percent interest for the next three years. What would you do with that credit card? A lot of people would say, “Oh boy! Glory, hallelujah! Let’s go!” And they would run up $50,000 worth of credit. If you did that, your personal economy would look really good while you were spending all that money. After all, your family would be out buying a sofa and a TV and a fancy vacation. Once that 0 percent interest grace period is over, however, you have to pay the credit card company back. But you don’t have $50,000. Now you have to make high payments. Those payments take money away from your living expenses, so you have to cut back on your grocery bill. Maybe you even have to move out of your nice big house and rent a smaller place for a while. What does your family economy look like now? Pretty lousy, right? Our government has been acting just like your fictional $50,000-spending family. The stimulus was like a gigantic credit card, and our country has run up trillions of dollars in debt. Eventually, we’ll have to pay up, and I think our economy could be very badly hurt. Right now we’re still in the “free money” phase. While it continues, I think it’s OK to be invested in the market. I believe you should be in the market when it’s going up, and out of the market when it’s going down. That’s where having an exit strategy comes in: It is intended to give you an opportunity to ride the market up as long as you can, and get out before the bad times come.

Float North County is open in the Lomas Santa Fe Plaza. Some people use flotation tanks to relieve physical pain; others employ the technique as therapy for mind and body. Courtesy photo
NORTH COUNTY’S FINEST PREVIOUSLY OWNED CARS EZCARS101 IS
RUN BY WOMENWE GET STUFF DONE!
‘Tanks for the lift’: Flotation therapy center making waves in Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although flotation therapy has been around for decades, it is finally available in Solana Beach. Equipped with four float rooms, Float North County opened its doors late February in the Lomas Santa Fe Plaza. “The benefits are so great and so widespread,” said owner Glenn Stokoe. “A lot of people can benefit from floating.” The new float center features one Float Pod and two — soon to be three — spacious Ocean Float Rooms. Each tank holds about 12 inches of water heated to skin temperature and 1,200 pounds of Epsom salt. Before stepping into a tank, floaters take a shower and put in earplugs. Then they float. The magnesium sulfate, Stokoe said, helps calm nerves and muscles and also benefits people who are magnesium deficient. With no light or sound, sensory deprivation allows the mind to enter a deep state of relaxation, and gravity reduction by 80 percent allows the muscles and joints to relax. Studies show that floating can improve circulation, performance and focus, Stokoe said. “Because there’s essentially no gravity, there’s no external stimuli, your body gets to rejuvenate and restore itself,” he said. An Encinitas resident, Stokoe worked in commercial real estate for 15 years before beginning the construction of the four-tank center about three months ago. Stokoe has practiced meditation since he was a teenager. So when he first read about flotation therapy in an article a year
and a half ago, he had to try it for himself. “The sense of no gravity allowed my muscles to completely relax,” said Stokoe, who visited a float center in San Diego. “I went into a meditative state much deeper and much quicker. It was a very relaxing experience.” Stokoe decided to bring floating to North County so more people could experience it. Although Float North County has only been open a few weeks, it’s already created a buzz, he said. “North County is a health Mecca,” Stokoe said. “I saw an opportunity to bring this to people around here. People are just very excited about it.” While some people float to relieve physical pain, others use it as a therapeutic tool for mind and body. Researcher John C. Lilly first used isolation tanks in the 1950s to test the effects of sensory deprivation. In the 1960s and 1970s, such tanks became popular for meditation and relaxation and in alternative medicine. Now, floating therapy is making a comeback. “I think it’s for everyone,” Stokoe said. Float North County is at 991 Lomas Santa Fe, Suite D, in Solana Beach. The center is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. First time 60-minute floats cost $55. Memberships and packages are also available. Call 858-925-6069 or visit www.floatnorthcounty.com.

‘Wheel’ thing comes to Village Church Preschool Olivenhain artist Alex Long brought his potter’s wheel to the Village Church Preschool on Feb. 25 and showed the children how to “throw” their own clay pieces. The pottery will now need to dry, and then it will be fired in the kiln, glazed, and refired. The children will be completing the entire pottery process in coming days, and the finished work will be on display at school in the near future. Alex Long has a pottery studio in his home. Contact him at 760-6886250 or email alexlongArt@att.net. The Village Church Preschool is now enrolling. Call Pamela Miller at 858-756-2394 or email pamm@villagechurch.org. Courtesy photos

Lighting the Way to the Most Dramatic Home Theater in San Diego San Diego Home Theater Experts, Modern Home Systems, on lighting your home theater properly. Lights! Camera! Action! It’s no wonder that a great production needs the right light to set the tone. Your home theater is no exception.
Outstanding indoor lighting is one of the best ways to distinguish your home theater, and thanks in part to a recent article at CE Pro , here are the best ways to create ambiance and accentuate your space with sensational lighting. Temperature Did you know that lighting temperature can significantly alter the quality of your home theater? Lights should ideally be set at 6,500 Kelvin. When light temperature is too strong, it can lead to off-set colors. For example, certain temperatures can change the fidelity of the screen, setting hues off-balance. Dimmable LED lighting is the ideal choice for lighting your home theater. Click here to see some examples of how we’ve used light to create the perfect
ambiance using just the right temperatures. Lighting Automation Dramatic home theater, San Diego, La Jolla It goes without saying that watching Jurassic Park is completely different than tuning into the 6 o’ clock news. Your lighting should reflect the mood appropriately and automation can set that dream into motion. For example, when you watch the news, your lighting can be programmed to illuminate into a bright setting. On the other hand, when you’re ready to watch a movie, the lights can dim to perfect theater level. Automation makes lighting incredibly easy. Zoned Lighting In many cases, it makes sense to zone lighting controls. Depending on how your
room is set up, you’ll want to take into consideration which part of the room deserves the greatest amount of light versus the area of the room that ought to be dim. Create light installations on unique circuits to customize the look even further. We’ll help you map out a lighting plan that best suits your home theater. Accentuate with Light We work with many San Diegans who want a custom home theater. Regardless of the style you choose, you’ll want to use light to accentuate the space.

Good Company student outreach at UCSD’s Preuss School
Community Concertgoers in Good Company!
Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe sponsored Good Company for the students at UCSD’s award-winning Preuss School for a musical/educational outreach program. Good Company performed for the Drama and Music Arts students, interspersing a bit of education on writing music, the history of music with different styles through the years, etc. They also discussed harmony, in particular as it relates to the success of a group: not just harmonic notes, but playing together, much as a sports team must do for success, with a hilarious example to drive home the lesson! The favorite part of the program for the students, of course, was listening to the lively music of the group, which compelled them to leave their seats and dance, dance, dance!

BY BILL WEBER The Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe presented a fun, energetic, and eclectic celebration of American music by the sevenpiece band Good Company. The diverse program presented Feb. 27 at the Village Church’s Fellowship Hall spanned several distinctly American genres, including jazz, rhythm and blues, country, soul, and rock and roll.

AUTISM
Begin with the stairs to the beach for a day of Pacific Ocean experiences and end on the huge brick patio overlooking the surf and sunsets for the beginning of your lifetime of sun kissed memories. This 2 bedroom 2 bath beach cottage was last designed by the architect Steve Adams and features lift and slide doors to the oceanfront deck to give total inside-out living, a Jacuzzi off the master, an oceanfront patio with a firepit and enclosed glass fireplace area, and an additional deck with a zen garden featuring a plumeria tree. With a premier location north of Beacon’s Beach and a surf break, a rocking Encinitas downtown area, and a relaxed lifestyle home, this is paradise.

dren. Yet while autism affects cognitive, emotional and communication skills, it does not reduce life span. “I’ve had those same thoughts myself,” Collins-Porter said. “Will I have to outlive my son? Will he ever live on his own? It’s a fear many of us have.” Before she started teaching, Collins-Porter was a film editor for a local company that makes commercial and industrial films. That’s where she met Young. Last fall she sent him an email and pitched the idea of collaborating on a documentary. Young has an extensive background producing sales, promotional and training videos for the travel and auto industries. He agreed to sign on as the volunteer co-producer, and they quickly applied for a grant to make the movie. “I could see this was a story that needed to be told, and I wanted to be involved,” he said. They have yet to hear whether the grant was approved, but last month they launched a $10,000 campaign on Kickstarter, which is now about halfway to its goal. Collins-Porter said most of the donors to the Kickstarter page (“Aging Out by Melissa Collins-Porter”) are fellow parents in the autism community. “They see the importance of this. This isn’t just my story, it’s everybody’s story,”
she said. If the Kickstarter campaign is successful, the money will be used to fund production of a promotional trailer. The 5-minute video, which will be filmed this June, will be used for other grant applications. Young said he believes the film can be made for about $80,000. If they get the money they need, they’ll begin filming next year with a goal of completion in 2017. Young and Collins-Porter said the film will profile several adolescents with autism who are approaching their 18th birthdays and will also feature interviews with parents, teachers, advocates, social workers and caregivers. It will profile communities like Sweetwater Spectrum and TERI Campus for Life, and it will cover the history of the Lanterman act, a landmark 1969 California law that extended state services to adults with disabilities. While other documentaries have been produced about adults with autism, CollinsPorter said “Aging Out” will avoid what she calls the “tragedy and triumph” clichés of how autism is usually depicted on-screen. It will be honest and unflinching, she said, but it will be positive. “I don’t agree with the mindset that autism is a scary and horrible disease,” she said. “My son is not sick. He doesn’t need a cure … I love him just the way he is.”

Red Nose Run raises $23K for charities Enthusiastic members of the Low and Slow Running Club looked on Feb. 11 as Al Bernotas, founder, presented Valentine checks to representatives of the The Semper Fi Fund Fresh Start Surgical Gifts. The club’s successful 23rd Annual Del Mar Red Nose Run, held Dec. 19 on the beach, generated $23,000 benefiting the two local organizations. Representative Selena O’Brien of the Semper Fi Fund and Katherine Hsia of Fresh Start Surgical Gifts wore beaming smiles as they expressed their gratitude. “Thank you to the Low and Slow Running Club and all the participants for your enormous support for the Semper Fi Fund,” said O’Brien. “I look forward to this event every year as an important fund raiser and awareness of our two charities. The great enthusiasm of the participants especially our Injured Marines is incredibly heart warming.” Hsia added, “We at Fresh Start Surgical Gifts can’t begin to express our gratitude to the Low and Slow Running Club and to all the merchants, sponsors and participants; you transform lives one child at a time through this amazing annual event. The monetary gifts we receive are vital to the children in desperate need of a fresh start through reconstructive surgery and medical care.” The popular Poseidon beachfront Restaurant provides patio space and delicious buffet hors d’oeuvres every year, prepared by Executive Chef Jamal Mourad. “It is important to our dad and family to give back to our community,” said owner Tom Ranglas Jr. “The Red Nose Run is an exciting event and a pleasure for us to support.” General Manager Stephan Turonbarre added, “All our staff look forward to this fun holiday fundraiser. We are ready for December 2015!”

to live and paint here. “A lot of the environment we enjoy here in San Diego is threatened and being encroached upon by development,” Dickinson said. “I think it’s important to preserve this stretch of land, which the Conservancy is. Mixed in with the art, we wanted to support” this event.” Dickinson said he thinks it’s important that the show succeeds: It replaces a type of show that has been missed by art collectors since it was canceled on Catalina, and also because of the money that can be raised for the Conservancy. “The first year was a success, and we anticipate it being as successful this year,” Dickinson said. “Hopefully it continues to grow.” Like Dickinson, Schaefer has a deep interest in the arts. An artist herself, she is on the board for the Prix de West show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum and has become friends with many of the artists who have done the show and past PAPA events. “To have this show in our own backyard in a lovely facility in Escondido, it was a nobrainer to get involved,” said Schaefer, who will host a visiting artist in her home. “It supports such a good cause and there are wonderful artists involved.” Participating artists are: Ken Auster, Laguna Beach; Kenn Backhaus, Robesonia, Pa.; John Budicin, San Bernardino; Lorenzo Chavez, Parker, Colo.; Gil Dellinger, Bend, Ore.; Kathleen Dunphy, Murphys, Calif; Lynn Gertenbach, Calabasas; Raleigh Kinney, Mesa, Ariz.; Joan LaRue, Tucson, Ariz.; Jean LeGassick, Silver City, Nev.; Robert Lemler, Phoenix; Joseph McGurl, Cataumet, Mass.; Ned Mueller, Renton, Wash.; Ralph Oberg, Montrose, Colo.; Ron Rencher, Canyon Lake, Texas; Ray Roberts, Angels Camp; Randall Sexton, Vallejo; Matt Smith, Scottsdale, Ariz.; Kate Starling, Rockville, Utah; and Brian Stewart, St. Paul, Minn. “All the participants are incredible artists,” Schaefer said. “They’re all extremely accomplished and paint beautifully.” She said there is so much more substance to the paintings with the knowledge that they were done locally. Seeing the artists’ interpretations of local nature will encourage people to say, ‘Let’s go to the lagoon’ or ‘Let’s go to Lake Hodges’ to see the scenery for themselves, Schaefer said. “Legacy of the Land” will be complemented by an exhibition of early California painters who documented the area before World War II, as well as plein-air artworks by high school students from the Escondido School District. There will be related events during the run of the exhibition, including a talk by Richard Louv, author of “Last Child in the Woods” and “The Nature Principle.” The talk is titled “The Importance of the Human-Nature Connection.” Admission to “Legacy of the Land” is $8. Museum hours at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Tickets can be purchased online at artcenter.org/museum/.
