By Karen Billing Rancho Santa Fe Association board member Ann Boon may take legal action unless she receives a retraction from 33 Covenant members for comments made in a letter submitted to the RSF Association board on the afternoon of Feb. 14. Boon was removed from her role as president of the Association board on Feb. 20 by a 5-2 vote of her fellow board members. “The board lost confidence in Ann’s leadership and felt she was no longer the right person to run the board,” RSF Association Vice President Rochelle Putnam said at the Feb. 20 meeting. At the March 6 RSF Association meeting, two Covenant members spoke during public comment about receiving letters from Boon’s attorney in response to their own letter submitted to the Association on Feb. 14. The Feb. 14 letter was signed by 33 Covenant members and, according to public comments at subsequent meetings, questioned Boon’s leadership as well as her treatment of staff. (The letter was not available at the RSF Association for media review.) All of the people who signed the Feb. 14 letter submitted to the RSF Association received letters from Boon’s attorney, according to Bill Hinchy, one of the signees. At the RSF Association board’s March 6 meeting, Hinchy said the letter stated that Boon has retained counsel and is prepared to file an extensive lawsuit unless the 33 people sign an enumerated retraction form. “Her interest as a member of the board of directors and her interest as a litigant may come into conflict with each other,” Hinchy cautioned the board. Nancy Hillgren, another Covenant member who received a letter from Boon’s attorney, also spoke in public comment at the RSF Association board’s March 6 meeting. Hillgren said they are being threatened to be sued unless they cease their criticisms of Boon. She said that the removal of a president and the threatening of lawsuits against members are “two new lows for Rancho Santa Fe.” “Why can’t you work cooperatively to bring the community together for healthy solutions rather than cause animosity?” Hillgren said at the March 6 RSF Association board meeting. Boon submitted a press release statement in response to the revelations at the March 6 meeting: “As Association members and board members we are all neighbors and volunteers. Sometimes we may hold strongly divergent views about issues that come before the board. Especially when controversies arise, it is always important to treat one another, and our hard working staff, respectfully. Recently, the Board of Directors received a letter signed by thirty-three members about me. I consulted with legal counsel about certain things that were said about me in the letter. I have asked the authors to retract certain statements in the letter. I am hopeful that the authors will agree with me that the statements should not have been made. I respect the right of every member to engage in spirited debate over the issues and I am not afraid of fair criticism of my views or my actions. I am hopeful that this matter can be quickly resolved and we can all move forward in a mutually respectful manner.”

RSF community encouraged to register to vote By Karen Billing Voter registration continues to be a hot topic at the Rancho Santa Fe Association on the verge of two big upcoming community votes — one on the Association’s $2.4 million purchase of the RSF Garden Club and the other vote to elect two new directors to the RSF Association board. The winning candidates will take their seats on the RSF Association board in July. Currently, of the potential of 3,200 voters in the RSF Covenant, about 1,800 are registered to vote. “The fact that only half of the community is registered to vote is a big concern of ours,” RSF Association Board President Philip Wilkinson said. On Feb. 27, the RSF Association received a petition signed by the number of people necessary to trigger a vote on the RSF Garden Club purchase. A vote in April 2013 resulted in 667 of 785 votes in favor of the Garden Club purchase, but the petition signees believed that the deal had changed enough during the last several months of negotiations to warrant another vote. The last day to register to vote on the RSF Garden Club purchase item is March 24. The language for the RSF Garden Club vote will be approved by the RSF Association board at its March 20 meeting and mailed April 4. The deadline to return ballots will be May 5. At its March 6 meeting, the RSF Association board appointed Bruce Bishop as an election inspector for the vote. The board will also appoint two members to assist Bishop in the ballot count. The count will be held in an open meeting where any member is allowed to attend and observe the process. RSF resident Lisa Bartlett requested that pros and cons comments be included in the ballot mailing, as well as a listing of potential other uses of the Community Enhancement Fund money. RSF Association Director Larry Spitcaufsky said it’s not the board’s job to weigh pros and cons, but simply to state clear bullet points on what the deal is without any filters. The last day to register to vote for the election of the new RSF Association board See VOTE, page AA2

Seven candidates will vie for two seats on the RSF Association Board of Directors in the spring election. The three-year terms of RSF Association board members Ann Boon and Larry Spitcaufsky will expire at the end of June. The seven candidates competing for the two seats are: (alphabetical order) Dominick Addario, Ann Boon, Daniel Bunn, Susan Callahan, Kim Eggleston, Alex Kaiser and Steven Sansone. The last day to register to vote for the election of the new RSF Association board members is April 25. Ballots will be mailed on May 8 after the RSF Association’s Annual Meeting and the election will close June 9. For more information, call the RSF Association at 858-756-1174.

RSF Association board approves trial run for RSF village farmers market By Karen Billing A farmers market will soon hit the village streets as the Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved a ninemonth trial run at its March 6 meeting. The market aims to bring a sense of community along with items such as fresh handmade pastas, gluten-free goodies, raw cold pressed juices, local honey and artisan chocolates. The board approved the trial run in a 6-1 vote, with director Craig McAllister abstaining. The market will be held on El Tordo, between Linea Del Cielo and Avenida de Acacias, on Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. RSF Association Board Vice President Rochelle Putnam said in the three-plus years the market has been discussed there’s been enough “rope-a-dope”— every objection possible has been raised and reviewed by the board. She said the board has considered all of the potential locations for the market and has moved the possibility of a market location away from residences and off the lawn at the village parks, and the board has responded to concerns that the market might interfere with the Secret Car Club that also meets in the RSF village on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. “I believe that the Secret Car Club and the farmers market can co-exist beautifully,” Putnam said, before making the motion to approve the trial run. RSF Association Director Ann Boon complimented the commitment of the market’s planner, local real estate agent Janet Lawless Christ, comparing her to the Energizer Bunny or a toy that keeps bouncing back up after taking a flurry of punches. Boon said she took her “nub of an idea” for a market and kept working at it because she knew it would be something good for the community. “If it works, it works. If it doesn’t the community will

RSF teachers looking for consistent salary increase as negotiations begin

By Karen Billing The Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association made its initial presentation to the Rancho Santa Fe School District Board of Trustees on March 6, requesting a bump in salary as sunshine negotiations begin for 2014. The teachers have not had a salary increase since 2009. Last year the teachers settled on what amounted to a one year-bonus for the current year of 2 percent of their current salary. It is the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association’s belief that the district has the resources to improve the teachers’ compensation, providing a consistent salary increase. Third grade teacher Janel Maud addressed the board on behalf of the faculty association and many teachers were in the audience, introducing themselves and saying how long they had been with the district. The longeststanding RSF teachers present were Dave McClurg, who has been at the school 24 years, and Linda Tan, who has been there for 22 years. Maud talked about how the teachers take great pride in providing a “five-star” education for their students and have been committed to professional development for the Common Core State Standards. “As a parent I’m not only concerned with academic progress but with developing a love for learning. If you walk into any classroom, you can see it. Rancho Santa Fe teachers are building a love for learning,” said Maud. “We are committed to challenging their brains and nurturing their hearts as well.” As negotiations begin between the faculty association and the district, Maud said they are looking forward to a “substantial and permanent outcome.”

MARKET continued from page 1 let us know,� said RSF Association Director Larry Spitcaufsky. Lawless Christ said the market provides some much-needed vitality to the village on the weekends, creating a community gathering space. In addition to the products and social aspect it offers, Lawless Christ said the market could also enhance foot traffic through downtown, boosting awareness and potential revenue for retailers, restaurants and The Inn. “If it is unpopular or a problem, it can be stopped at any time but I believe the joy and vitality it will bring will be worth it,� Lawless Christ said. Lawless Christ feels the selected location is ideal as it does not disturb the Secret Car Club, is not contiguous to any residential properties and still allows for easy traffic flow. Brandon Janiss and Tasha Ardalan, who run the Welk Resort Farmers Market and the Encinitas Farmers Market, will handle the management of the market. Proceeds from the mar-

ket will go to the Veterans Valor Fund, which grants scholarships for returning veterans to obtain agricultural education training with the Veterans Sustainable Training Program at Archi’s Acres in Escondido. Nature Designs, a landscape design company, has signed on as a sponsor to underwrite expenses of liability insurance, permits, signage and traffic control planning. “It’s a great opportunity to enhance the livability and walkability of town and invite people to visit our merchants and restaurants,� said Kelly Fore Dixon of Nature Designs, a new Rancho Santa Fe resident. Many residents spoke out at the March 6 meeting both for and against the market. Robert Wood, a resident since 1972, said the RSF Association should consider the redundancy of markets in the area with nearby Chino Farms, markets in Solana Beach, Del Mar, Del Rayo Village, Carmel Valley, Encinitas, as well as the Lemon Twist produce stand on Del Dios Highway. Wood also voiced concern about consequences

such as compromising the safety of property owners, the noise of set up and take down, “neglected canine excrement,â€? leftover trash, increased traffic and lack of village parking. “None of us, absolutely none of us, think this will do anything to promote or stimulate business in town,â€? said Bill McNally, of The McNally Company Antiques, speaking for village merchants. “I just think this is a terrible idea.â€? Supporters shared an alternative view, that the market will bring a missing element to the community. They said they were excited about the market providing an experience in town and a way to interact with neighbors besides bumping into them at the post office. “The center of town is adorable but it’s basically an empty shell, there’s nothing bringing the community together,â€? said resident Sarah Neil. “A farmers market is a great way to bring the community together and I’m excited to hear there’s a charitable organization that the funds will go to‌It’s worth a try.â€? A date for the opening of the RSF Farmers Market is still to be determined.

RSF Association staff members help find missing engagement ring

VOTE continued from page 1 members is April 25. There are currently seven candidates for two seats: (alphabetical order) Dominick Addario, Ann Boon, Daniel Bunn, Susan Callahan, Kim Eggleston, Alex Kaiser and Steven Sansone. Ballots will be mailed on May 8 after the RSF Association’s Annual Meeting and the election will close June 9. Wilkinson did note that voter registration is making a move in the positive. He said in the last week, about 30 members had come in to register to vote. “We’d like to see that continue,� Wilkinson said.

By Kristina Houck A woman has found her missing engagement ring, thanks to staff at the Rancho Santa Fe Association. While training in the parking lot at RSF Sports Field about five weeks ago, Park and Recreation staff were asked to halt their exercises by a woman looking for her lost ring. “A lady pulled up and asked if we could stop. We were driving big trucks around there,� said Field Operations Manager Arnold Keene. “She said, ‘I lost my engagement ring the prior evening and I was going to look for it. I’m afraid you guys are going to run over it if it’s out here.’� The roughly dozen crew members immediately stopped training to help the woman look for her ring, Keene said. “We all lined up arm-to-arm across the entire parking lot and started walking,� Keene said. “Sure enough, about two or three minutes into it, one of the guys found it and handed it to the lady. She was happy and drove off, and we went back to our training.�

Next San Dieguito Planning Group meeting is March 20 The regular meeting of the San Dieguito Planning Group scheduled for March 20 at 7 p.m. will take place at the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Station (meeting room), 16936 El Fuego, Rancho Santa Fe (El Fuego intersects Linea del Cielo at the west end of the village).

RSF Association tax return errors an ‘immaterial’ administrative omission, treasurer reports By Karen Billing According to Rancho Santa Fe Association Treasurer Larry Spitcaufsky, the organization has addressed and reviewed the issue of discrepancies on its federal tax returns that were brought to light during a Feb. 6 board meeting. He discussed the issue during committee liaison updates at the March 6 board meeting. Every year the RSF Association must file a Form 990, which details the organization’s revenue and expenses, including compensation for its highest-paid employees. Errors were found on the form; boxes were checked on the form stating that the board had received a copy of the 990 before it was sent out and that a compensation survey had been completed although neither had happened. Spitcaufsky said the Finance Committee’s most recent four-hour session went over a variety of issues, one of them being the 990 discrepancy and how to fix it. He said the issue was an “immaterial� administrative omission, has no impact on finances and there is no liability to any Association board member. “The responsibility falls fully and 100 percent to me, it goes no further than my desk,� said Steve Comstock, RSF Association chief financial officer of the clerical error. Comstock said he and the committee discussed procedures to be put in place prior to filing, to ensure the board and finance committee see the 990 document before it goes out.

RSF School teacher survey shows technology effective at school, future needs By Karen Billing The use of iPads and other technology uses at R. Roger Rowe School are causing a spike in student engagement, according to a technology survey given to Rancho Santa Fe School District teachers. Seventy-nine percent of teachers reported they feel technology has had a high impact on student engagement and 21 percent feel it has had some impact. No teachers voted that the impact was minimal or none. Cindy Schaub, RSF School District assistant superintendent, presented the results of the survey to the school board on March 6. In the survey, 57 percent of teachers felt that technology has had a high impact on student learning and 43 percent voted that it has had some impact. Students in grades kindergarten through fourth have access to 10 iPads and seven computers per classroom. Grades fifth through eighth have one-to-one iPad deployment and seven desktops per classroom. The iPads are being used to access literature and e-books and as a tool for research, presentations and publishing. Schaub said the district has also continued to widen the range of classes and electives for enrichment in computer science, such as digital animation, graphic design using iMovie for the school’s Eagle News broadcasts, music production and writing commands for robots in the robotics program. The iPads and SMART boards are the most used technology, followed in the rankings by document cameras, desktop computers, multimedia projectors and microphones. YouTube is the most widely used resource, which Schaub said relates to the Common Core State Standards’ emphasis on multi-media sources. Kindergarten through fifth grade teachers say what they need the most are literacy and math apps or software with progress monitoring. The survey showed they are also looking for fluency apps or software for reading and more e-books and digital content. Middle school teachers most need content area apps or software and multimedia apps that allow students to create and communicate. The survey showed that some of the limitations with iPads are that sometimes they are less effective than a pencil and paper for certain tasks, there are concerns with cases and keyboards, it’s difficult to work with multiple apps and some sharing of information has been a problem. From April 14 through May 16, students will be taking the new Common Core assessment test from the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium — a 100 percent computer- based test as required by the new standards. “It’s a penalty-free test and a test of our systems,� Schaub said, noting that the district’s systems are “good to go.� While they are iPad-compatible, the test will likely be taken by students on desktop machines in the computer lab. “The experience on the iPad is less efficient,� Schaub said.

TPHS graduate and accomplished software developer gives inspirational presentation during TPHS Yellow Ribbon Week

Torrey Pines Yellow Ribbon Week speaker Oliver Miao with his 12th grade AP English teacher at Torrey Pines, Barbara Swovelin. Courtesy photo Miao grew up in Del Mar and was a student at Del Mar Heights, Earl Warren Middle School and Torrey Pines High School. He went on to attend Stanford University, graduating in 1997. Miao talked about his memorable days at Torrey Pines with teachers such as Barbara Swovelin, who is still teaching there. He talked about his fellow classmates: the cheerleader who went on to be a professor at Yale University; the class clown that used to write papers with references to bodily functions who is now a brain surgeon. A person who never played any sports or was part of any club went on to do customer outreach at GoPro. A member of the Torrey Pines academic team who helped Miao and the team win two national championships is now a sports anchor on the local news. “The point is that we all change. Who you are in high school doesn’t have to define who you become,” Miao said. “You have a whole future after school that will define who you can be.” Miao was a self-described “nerd” who overcame some cruel bullies in his younger years. In Del Mar, while in elementary school, he was one of few Asians but didn’t realize he was considered “different” until being picked on by older kids. He recalled coming home from school crying after being picked on for his last name, Miao, and when students mocked him by pulling their eyes. His mom helped teach him that his name was unique and that it was better to laugh along with people making fun of him than to get angry in return. In seventh grade he had a terrible experience with a bully who used to pick him up and dangle him over a trash can or put him in a headlock. What he hated most was the helplessness he felt. Miao said one of the biggest regrets of his life was

becoming a bully himself and teasing another student. The student then passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm and Miao felt horrible that he never apologized for the way he treated him. “Some of the last things I said to him were making fun of him for something he should’ve been proud of,” Miao said. “It’s natural to tease friends or people you don’t know but next time, think about how you would feel if that person is no longer with you the next day. I hope you won’t have those same types of regrets.” Miao talked about being an engineer who didn’t like talking to people, but then he got very lucky with his game designs and had to go outside of his comfort zone to expand his business. The guy who in high school couldn’t even say “yes” to a girl who asked him to leave a football game was suddenly taxed with having to speak to people he didn’t know to make business connections. He willed himself to go to conferences and speak to everyone he met — two of those people happened to work for companies such as Sega and Sony, companies he ended up working with that helped grow his business. After becoming a father to twins, Miao felt like he wasn’t making enough of a difference in the world and wanted to make some kind of impact.

Speaker Oliver Miao of learning and education in a fun way, he also used his game to promote diversity and acceptance and counteract cyberbullying and other high school issues. He partnered with Cybersmile Foundation, a cyberbullying charity and has raised more than $100,000 for the group. Unexpectedly, a user contacted the game through the support system to tell them she intended to kill herself. Miao and his team sent her messages to let her know that they cared and found resources for her to get help. After a week, she told them she was going to get help. “We wrote the game to entertain people and it ended up saving a life,” Miao said. Miao and Hollins told the students that as much pressure as they may feel or whatever they are going though, each one of them has the power to set their intentions and make decisions that can change their lives or the lives of others. “We all have the survival instinct. I think we’re naturally wired to keep on going,” Miao said. “The best lifeline you have is your friends and I really encourage you to look out for your friends.” As Yellow Ribbon Week came to a close, a PALS member received a text from a senior that showed just how powerful the week can be. The text read: “I just wanted to talk, I am not usually the one to be moved by spirit weeks but the last video that we watched of the girl who committed suicide really spoke to me. I did not think it was important to talk about the thoughts that I was having and the damage I was doing to my own body because of the depression I went through because of the things that I went through and having to live with the people who did them to me. But now I know that I have people to talk to and I can be helped without being judged. I don’t know what to say right now, I guess I just need someone to vent to.”

By Karen Billing The yellow posters were pasted around the Torrey Pines High School campus like advertisements in a coffee shop, “Take what you need” it read, but instead of a telephone number to tear away, there were words: Love, hope, patience, understanding, a chance, laughter, healing. All of the tabs on one poster had been torn away and kept, leaving just the quote on the poster: “Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day.” The yellow posters were part of the high school’s Yellow Ribbon Week, a week devoted to suicide prevention and removing the stigmas of mental illness, encouraging students to not be afraid to ask for help and support each other. “The most important resource for suicide prevention is each other,” said Don Hollins, Peer Assistance Listeners (PALS) advisor. Throughout the week, students watched PSA videos made by their peers and heard from a lineup of speakers, including Dr. Paul Sargent, the psychiatrist for all of the Navy SEALS, and Torrey Pines graduate Oliver Miao, the CEO and co-founder at Pixelberry Studios. Miao founded Centerscore with three friends and sold his company to Electronic Arts (EA). Through Pixelberry, he released the game “High School Story.” The game has seven million downloads and about 10 percent of high school students in the country have it on their phones.

RSF Association President’s Corner: Update on several issues BY PHILIP WILKINSON, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT Our March 6 Board of Directors meeting was another well attended and lively open meeting with a lot of input from members. The main takeaways from that four-hour meeting with your all volunteer board were: 1. The Finance Committee Chair and Treasurer Larry Spitcaufsky explained that on Feb. 27 the Finance Committee met and found that the Form 990 issue was an “administrative oversight” and immaterial with no liability exposure to the Association or the board. This conclusion was based on an “opinion letter” from the Association attorney and finding of the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee recommended that a letter be placed in our auditor’s file requesting a specific timeline for future reporting periods to provide the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors a draft of the Form 990 before filing the fiscal year-end tax document. Obtaining a comparative compensation survey each year was also recommended. 2. After many months of discussion and debate, a Farmers Market, which will operate on a nine-month trial basis on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the Village, was approved by a vote of 6-0-1. The market will be held on El Tordo, between Linea del Cielo and Avenida de Acacias. We are excited about this trial run and we believe it will be a complement to the Secret Car Club’s weekly events. We hope to see you there. 3. The RSF Garden Club purchase decision will go to a full vote of the membership and, therefore, the board approved the election schedule and the election inspector. Ballots will be mailed on April 4 and are due back by May 5 at 5 p.m.

Philip Wilkinson 4. Your Board of Directors expressed its commitment to increase the RSF Association’s voter registration. As of March 1, roughly half of the eligible voters were registered to vote in the upcoming elections. This is unfortunate and we are asking that those members that are not registered to vote on Association matters please visit the Association office and register. If you are a Rancho Santa Fe Covenant property owner and, therefore, a member of the Association you must register (one time)

roadside landscaping maintenance, community buildings and other services. The staff does a very good job of serving our membership so please be sure to let them know how much their hard work is appreciated when you speak with a member of staff. It’ll go a long way. Lastly, the Covenant has a rich history dating back to the late 1920s and I believe it is one of the finest places on earth to live and raise a family. Let’s all try to focus on protecting that lifestyle and the traditions of this wonderful community.

Sprinkler system minimizes fire damage to commercial building On Tuesday, March 4, at 9:39 a.m., firefighters from the cities of Del Mar, San Diego, and Solana Beach and the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District responded to the report of a structure fire in the 3000 block of Via De La Valle in Del Mar. Upon arrival they discovered that a fire in a back hallway of Sublime Tavern had been extinguished by one sprinkler head. “Fortunately, the fire protection system worked as it was designed to,” said RSFFPD Battalion Chief Chris Galindo. “The single sprinkler head provided the occupants with time to safely evacuate the building and kept the fire from spreading and causing further damage. Three suites in the commercial building were affected and the total estimated damaged is $50,000. The cause is under investigation but appears to be accidental in nature. — RSF Fire Department

By Karen Billing The Secret Car Club is perhaps the worst kept secret in Rancho Santa Fe, as many people are big fans of the collection of beautiful classic cars that converge on the village every weekend. On Saturday mornings, Avenida de Acacias and Paseo Delicias is lined with a variety of cars, from a 1910 Maxwell to the newest Mercedes. Motorcycles too. The cars may be flashy but the club is not—it’s lowkey and all-inclusive, according to founder Chris Erickson. “We’re here for the love of the cars,” Erickson said. Erickson is a realtor with Willis Allen who has been working in the area for more than 21 years — the last six years his office has been on Paseo Delicias. The idea of the club started after talking about cars with several of his clients. “With a lot of car clubs there’s so much politics and the car world can be very clique-ish,” Erickson said. “We just wanted to start something casual with some of our friends and get together on Saturdays.” It started with just four car enthusiasts meeting up on a Saturday in the Ranch, but then it kept growing week by week. The weekly meeting event started to become a destination, attracting everyone from classic car owners in Los Angeles to residents wandering into the village from a Saturday morning walk on the trails. Erickson said the club has become a really interesting mix of people, free of politics, where everyone is on the same page. It doesn’t matter if you’re a millionaire or a mechanic. One week they had a Minerva, a car from the early 1920s that was sold for nearly $2 million. Erickson said the car was stunning, with its “sweeping fender” and khaki tan canvas top.

Secret Car Club in Rancho Santa Fe attracts a wide variety of car lovers at weekly event

The Secret Car Club meets in the Rancho Santa Fe village on Saturday mornings. Courtesy photos While the cars can stun, there’s more to the group than just the cars. One Rancho Santa Fe teenager used the club to pick the brains of fellow car lovers to help restore an old Land Rover. Another Rancho Santa Fe couple’s grandson takes his grandfather’s Model A car out to the club whenever he’s in town from college. It’s an opportunity to give the car some exercise and the entire family comes out for the morning. “It’s grown into a social group more than anything

else,” Erickson said. The club has a lot of women as well, women who race cars, who can turn a wrench and are just car-lovers who want a venue where they can hang out and not feel like the odd-woman out. “This is somewhere that they can fit right in,” said Erickson.

Parents “furious� over dismissal of SAT prep school CEO

Compensation Committee bylaw change language to be reviewed

By Joe Tash Parents of students who attend a SAT prep school based in Carmel Valley are demanding the reinstatement of the school’s former CEO and co-founder, who said he was fired abruptly Feb. 28 with no explanation. “All the parents are furious about this issue,� said Shirley Wang, of Torrey Hills, who has enrolled her daughter in a SAT prep course this summer at a cost of nearly $3,000. The decision by management of Summa Education to part ways with CEO Chris Hamilton was announced in a March 1 email to families. The school has locations in Carmel Valley and Rancho Bernardo, and current enrollment is 883 students. The school’s action has led to the establishment of a Facebook page called “Bring Back Mr. Hamilton!� as well as an online petition asking the school to change its decision. On Sunday, disgruntled parents met with new CEO Lori Todd and other school officials at the school’s Carmel Valley office. According to a Facebook post about the meeting, some 100 parents and students crammed into the lobby, and over the two-hour meeting, they “pleaded loudly and passionately to bring back Mr. Hamilton in any capacity! It was made abundantly clear by the new CEO that Mr. Hamilton would NOT be returning to Summa. No reasons were proffered for his departure except for ‘business issues’ that surfaced over a 3 month period.� Todd acknowledged that what she had to say to families Sunday was “not what they See SCHOOL, page 22

By Karen Billing A bylaw change to establish a Compensation Committee will be discussed at the March 20 Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting. Staff has coordinated with legal counsel to prepare the draft language regarding the bylaw change, as well as write the committee’s charter, but at the RSF Association board’s March 6 meeting, the board directors stated they needed more time to review the language. An ad-hoc compensation committee was established in August 2013 to review all human resource (HR) issues, such as salaries, benefits, vacation accruals and best practices for hiring and termination. Directors Ann Boon and Larry Spitcaufsky spearheaded the creation of a permanent committee to review those HR matters, as well as take a deep look at issues such as who approves compensation and how contracts are approved. “I don’t think we’ve ever had this kind of exhaustive review of HR practices in the recent past, maybe never,� RSF Association Board President Philip Wilkinson said.

Director raises issues with RSF Association board meeting minutes By Karen Billing The Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting minutes were called into question at the March 6 board meeting.

RSF Association Board Vice President Rochelle Putnam said in her time on the board they have rarely made any changes to secretary Daria Quay’s minutes, save for small punctuation mistakes. RSF Association Board President Philip Wilkinson reiterated several times that the minutes are meant to be a summary rather than a verbatim recording, but Boon objected to the way her comments during the Feb. 6 meeting were portrayed. “Minutes should not slant or misrepresent what a member said,� Boon said. “I personally take issue with the way they were written and the way board members were quoted.� See MINUTES, page 18

The Country Friends members gather for special memorial for longtime volunteer Jean Newman By Karen Billing For more than 35 years, Jean Newman had a presence in The Country Friends organization and even more so in the last 10 years at the village Consignment Shop as its lively manager. The dedicated community volunteer passed away on Dec. 8, 2013 and the loving Friends she left behind held a memorial for her at the shop on March 5. “I worked with her for a year and a half, I was her shadow,” said Yvette Letourneau, the consignment shop’s new manager. “I miss her laughter.” Country Friends President Rhonda Tryon said it was true, you could hear their laughter trickling down the stairs at the shop as they worked side by side. “She had such a sense of humor and her laughter was very infectious,” said Letourneau. “I’ll always remember that and how she loved coming here every day. This was her life.” For many years, Newman volunteered at the shop alongside her daughter, Suzanne. As a member of The Country Friends, Newman was also involved in events such as The Country Friends’ popular annual fashion show. Fellow Friends remember Newman for her sharp wit, her “kindness and lovely grace” and as “a true gem” and beloved mentor, committed to serving others in the community. Tryon said that Newman was also admired and appreciated for her knowledge in the shop, she knew the history behind items and would know just who to call if an item came in that she thought someone might like. “Yvette has big shoes to fill but Jean did a beautiful job

RSF resident’s new business offers a secure and discreet place to keep high-end vehicles By Joe Tash Charles Butler is betting that Southern California’s love affair with all things car-related will translate into a hit for his new venture, a storage facility for high-end classic and exotic cars. The Rancho Santa Fe resident has run a successful manufacturing business near Palomar Airport Road for more than 20 years, and found himself with some extra warehouse space on hand. He decided to use it to launch Rancho Santa Fe Motor Storage, what he calls a secure and discreet place to keep high-end vehicles. The facility, which opened this month, will allow car enthusiasts a place to keep their rides, and also hang out with fellow car buffs. “We’re catering to the automotive lifestyle. It’s like an automotive country club,” said Dean Liebowitz, a classic car expert who serves as the new facility’s general manager. Along with the secure vehicle storage areas, the facility includes a lounge where members can have a drink, conduct a conference call, watch TV or even shower after a spin in their vehicle. Service will include trickle-charging batteries, tire pressure checks and regularly starting engines if customers request it. Also available will be pickups and drop-offs from nearby McClellan-Palomar Airport, and car detailing, among other services. Members will even have a cigarsmoking room on the premises. “My client wants to be pampered,” said Butler. “This is for people who want to keep their car secure,

Butler took a reporter around the facility on a recent afternoon, showing off the various levels of security, from a perimeter gate, to the coded entries for the lounge and storage areas, to the battery of cameras that will be monitored around the clock. A smartphone app will even allow car owners to see their vehicles at any time, like a high-tech nanny cam. When the facility is closed at night, concrete and steel posts will be installed in front of the roll-up doors as an extra precaution. To maintain privacy, Butler doesn’t promote the facility’s address; rather, he invites people interested in his services to call for an appointment. On the day of a reporter’s visit, three high-end cars were on display in the warehouse —two classic Porsches, and a 1930 Isotta Fraschini, an Italian-made roadster nicknamed “the Flying Star,” said Liebowitz. The latter vehicle is a one-of-a-kind model worth more

RSF resident Todd Neal elected Head of Litigation Department at Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch Rancho Santa Fe resident Todd Neal was recently elected to serve as the Head of the 56-attorney Litigation Team at Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch, LLP. The firm, formed in 1946, is San Diego’s largest law firm with more than 140 attorneys in San Diego. Neal’s practice focuses on business litigation matters involving disputes pertaining to contracts, financial fraud, trade secrets and securities matters. He represents public and private companies and over the past 20 years has served as lead trial counsel in numerous high stakes disputes tried in federal and state courts across the United States. Neal has been recognized as one of the “Top Attorneys” in Southern California by Super Lawyers, San Diego Magazine and Los Angeles Magazine. Additionally, he was named as one of the Top 50 Attorneys in San Diego in the 2014 edition of Super Lawyers Magazine. A graduate of Torrey Pines High School, Neal spent much of his teenage years on the RSF golf course and won the individual CIF and Palomar League golf titles when competing as a Falcon. He lives in Rancho Santa Fe with his wife, Sarah, and their children, Nicholas, Chloe and Brady.

than $1 million, he said. “It’s the type of car we’re looking for,” Butler said. Barnaby Brokaw of Carlsbad, a collector who owns eight or nine classic cars, had brought over his 1965 Porsche 356c for the afternoon. “This car would definitely be right at home here,” he said. “This is for the guy who’s been bitten hard and likes different types of cars,” Brokaw said of Butler’s new storage facility. The chance to hang out and talk cars is part of the attraction of a facility like Rancho Santa Fe Motor Storage, he said. “I love the people, the people are as much fun as the cars.” Butler estimated the facility will hold about 125 cars when full, or a combination of cars, boats, motor homes and motorcycles. Along with car storage, the facility will offer affiliate memberships for those who want to use the lounge and kibitz. The storage center will also be available for private functions, he said. Normal hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, but owners can get their cars at any time of the day or night with three hours’ notice, Butler said. While there are probably a half-dozen similar facilities in Southern California, this will be the first in North County, Liebowitz and Butler said. They expect it to catch on with local high-end car buffs. “The automotive lifestyle has become a big, big thing,” Liebowitz said. “Cars have become more valuable than Picassos.” For more information, visit www.RSFMotorStorage.com, or call 760-3058938.

Saratoga WarHorse Foundation’s Marilyn Lane honored for work supporting veterans’ rehabilitation By Julie Sarno Marilyn Lane of the Saratoga WarHorse Foundation was recently honored by the Women’s International Center (WIC) with a Living Legacy Award. Living Legacy Awards celebrate women and each year honors groundbreaking individuals from around the world who are making a difference. WIC is based in Rancho Santa Fe. “The mission of the Women’s International Center is to acknowledge, honor, encourage, and educate women all around the world,” said local resident Bridget McDonald, Ph.D., president and executive director for the Center. “That is what we have been doing for 30 years.” Lane was honored for her work as a horsewoman supporting veterans’ rehabilitation at Saratoga WarHorse. Lane serves as director of Thoroughbred Industry Relations and Development for Saratoga WarHorse near Saratoga Springs, New York. The WarHorse Project provides a three-day program for returning veterans who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Lane has been part of Saratoga WarHorse since its inception in 2011. Her father and four older brothers served in the military. Lane was interviewed during her time in San Diego for the award ceremony. “With PTSD, the problems get worse for 10 or 12 years after the veterans return,” said Lane. “Time Magazine reported in July of 2012, that there is one suicide every day. In World War I, it was called Shell Shock. World War II called it Battle Fatigue. Now it’s PTSD.” “Horses bring people back to a calm place,” continued Lane. “There is a strong link between horses and the military.” Lane told the story of the Saratoga WarHorse Project. It was founded by Bob Nevins, a retired pilot. Nevins served in the army in the 101st Airborne. During Vietnam, he flew a Medevac helicopter and was wounded in 1971. He also served in the New York National Guard. His love of horses, his military service and his desire to help the many veterans returning with PTSD gave him the idea for the project in 2008. When he retired after 24 years as a commercial pilot for American Eagle in 2011, he devoted his efforts to bringing veterans together with former racehorses. The project received national publicity when a documentary film made by HRTV (Horse Racing Television) won an Eclipse Award — Thoroughbred racing’s equivalent of an Academy Award — in January. The award-winning video and more information is on the organization’s website, www.saratogawarhorse.com. “It was heart-warming to watch the video and see the reaction of the veterans,” said Del Mar resident Joe Harper, president and chief executive officer of Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “It’s an experience that is so positive. It’s pretty emotional for them. I’m very impressed with Saratoga WarHorse, and not just the results. They’ve done so much work to get the program organized.” Lane described the three-day program. Participating veterans fly in on a Sunday evening. They meet with a nurse practitioner. After breakfast on Monday, they go to the farm. They spend the morning in a classroom with instructor Melody Squier, who will work with them throughout the three days. According to Lane, Squier is a lifelong horsewoman. According to the WarHorse website, she “developed ‘Equipoise’ natural horsemanship techniques and communication skills to create respect and understanding.” Initially, Squier uses a Powerpoint presentation and talks about herd behavior, longlines and the visual field of a horse. One powerful classroom exercise has participants describe themselves without using language: “How am I

Then they all set up a round pen, as a team-building exercise. The veterans are paired with horses by temperament. A veteran enters the round pen and stands in the center. The horse he has been paired with enters the round pen. “There is a mystique to being in a round pen with a galloping horse,” said Lane. “There is no escape. ‘Is he a trustworthy leader?’ is what the horse is trying to discover.” Once the horse recognizes that the veteran displays body language showing that he is a trustworthy leader — not a predator waiting to eat him for dinner — the horse approaches the veteran in the center of the round pen. The horse demonstrates his trust in the human. After viewing the documentary and other videos on the website, Del Mar Director of Media Mac McBride, a former Marine and Vietnam veteran, said, “It’s remarkable to see the way those young vets just melt in the horses’ final presence — it’s like a great weight has been lifted from them. I believe that Bob Nevins sets the stage perfectly through his understanding of both sides of that equation.” “The amount of trauma someone carries makes for a stronger connection,” said Lane. “The veterans respect the retired racehorses. The horses have clamored out of the starting gate and done battle. They’ve made the transition from being a racehorse to ‘civilian’ life.” Lane said the first goal is to fully develop Saratoga WarHorse in Saratoga, beginning with training other instructors. There are plans for a satellite operation in Aiken, South Carolina, spurred by the efforts of prominent Thoroughbred owner and board member Anne Campbell. Lane said donations have increased since the organization was granted not-for-profit or 501(c)(3) status. Lane met with Harper during her time in San Diego. Following the meeting, Harper said, “It makes a lot of sense to have a program like this here, because of the number of military in the area. We’ve also got a whole lot of horses. The WarHorse Project has done so much groundwork. Use the experience they have and take the next step.” Rancho Santa Fe resident Joseph Boscacci also met

Boscacci was in the U.S. Army for 32 years, retiring as a Colonel. He spends his time volunteering with Heroes to Hire, part of the Yellow Ribbon Program. A Vietnam and Gulf War veteran, Boscacci said, “I find animals have a calming effect. They help when you flashback. The use of horses is a wonderful thing. It helps people to get through the memory of what went on.” “The Saratoga Warhorse program does not change yesterday,” said Lane. “It simply makes it so the veterans can jump that track and take on tomorrow.”

Maya Relief Foundation to hold fashion show and silent auction benefit in RSF •Funds raised will be used to buy stoves and water filters that will benefit indigenous families in the highlands of rural Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. By Stacey Phillips Imagine making a difference in a family’s life in just an hour. That’s all the time it takes for the Maya Relief Foundation to improve the quality of lives for Maya families in Guatemala by providing a fuel-efficient stove and water filter. Randie Reinhart, who started the foundation with her husband Leon on July 4, 2002, said they hope to provide stoves to more than 100,000 families within the next five years. “There are seven-and-a-half-million Maya families out there out of a population of 15 million,â€? she said. “We need to touch as many of these families as we can.â€? Based in Rancho Santa Fe, the Maya Relief Foundation is holding a fashion show and silent auction to raise money to purchase the stoves and water filters that will benefit indigenous families in the highlands of rural Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. The show will be held April 26 at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center starting at 5:30 p.m. Standing room tickets are $35 and cover the cost of one water filter; general seating is $70 and will pay for two water filters; and VIP front row seating is $110 and will cover the cost of a fuel-efficient stove. “One hundred percent of the ticket sales is going directly to help these people,â€? said Jenny Donaldson, a volunteer from the Maya Relief Foundation who is coordinating the fashion show called FLOW. Professionally directed by Gia Nina Bodarocco, the show features Harper’s Bazaar models presenting apparel from local boutiques. Hor d’oeuvres will be served prior to the fashion show beginning. There will be a silent auction and local accessories vendors with items to purchase, all contributing to the foundation. San Diego singer/songwriter Trevor Davis, who has released seven albums and was a recent contestant on the television show “The Voice,â€? will perform. The Maya Relief Foundation was established as the Reinhart Family Foundation 12 years ago with the intent of serving the humanitarian needs of the poor in Latin America. Soon after, the Reinharts decided to focus on ways to assist the Maya with their health and well-being as well as help them become self-sustainable. After living abroad in mostly developing countries for 30 years, the family relocated to San Diego in 1996. They had lived in Iran, Panama, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Bahrain, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and Mexico. Reinhart said she always felt a special connection with the people in these countries and wanted to do something to help them. “Since day one we tried to come up with good solutions to the problems of the Maya indig-

Courtesy photo enous people,� she said. “We could see what was the most beneficial thing for the most needy people.� The Reinharts and their son Rob work full-time for the foundation and other family members assist when they can. Alex Ingersoll from the Maya Relief Foundation said that Maya women’s lives revolve around cooking and they usually stand in front of huge fires built on a wooden pallet called a polleton inside their homes. The families breathe in toxic fumes from the fires, which cause eye irritations and respiratory problems. In order to address this, the foundation replaces the Maya’s open cooking fires with a fuel-efficient EkoStove. “It radically changes these people’s lives,� said Ingersoll. The cleaner burning stove emits little smoke and allows the women to cook in substantially less time. In addition to having cleaner air, Reinhart said their respiratory illnesses decline dramatically due to the decreased amount of smoke. The stove also has a flue that carries any excess smoke or gases out of the house. Because the stove uses 70 percent less firewood, the women do not have to spend as much time looking for wood but instead have time to make handicrafts they can sell in the marketplace, which is a source of income for them. “The women like to have beauty around them and when you have a dirt floor you have to create beauty in a

A portable Ektofiltro water filter is also given to the families by the foundation, which provides clean water. The families no longer have to collect wood to boil their water and intestinal illnesses due to poor water quality are substantially decreased. Reinhart said, “It’s very moving, you feel a loving feeling that you have given a little kid a cold glass of water.� In addition to the stove and water filter, both made in Guatemala, the foundation works with families in other ways to help improve their lives.

They assist them with planting a garden so they learn to vary their diet. The garden provides them with cash crops the families can sell or barter with. The foundation also supplies the women with multi-nutritional vitamins donated by the Kirk Humanitarian Foundation. Finally, the Maya Relief Foundation pays a local social worker from the village to help families maintain the stove and water filter for a year, as well as teaching them basic health lessons. A year ago Reinhart formed a group in San Diego called Women 2 Women to help support the needs of the foundation. “It’s powerful for our ladies here to see the ladies there,� said Reinhart. “They really are kindred spirits.� There is a Teen 2 Teen component of this group that plans fundraisers like lip-syncing contests and a mother-daughter tea. “There are great needs around the world and we, with an abundance, sharing just a modest amount can make such a difference in a family’s life in the Third World,� said Reinhart. Ticket to FLOW can be purchased on-line http:// www.flowfashionshowmyevents.com or at the event.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

What more can one say about the Garden Club deal? Is anyone accountable? While watching the Academy Awards last week the RSF Garden Club deal came to mind. (Is that normal?) As I watched the nominations for best picture it occurred to me that the drama playing out right here in our idyllic Rancho Santa Fe would make a good movie: maybe, “The Rancho Santa Fe Buyers Club,” or “12 Years A Deal,” or “The Wolf of La Granada.” I thought about the actors we have in our small town. Who is our Glenn Close or Sandra Bullock or Matthew McConaughey? (Sorry, nobody came to mind) It amazes me that such a simple idea as transferring the Garden Club building to the RSF Association could have such remarkable plot twists, unique characters, and ever-changing endings. Whatever you think of the deal or best picture you can’t say the actors haven’t worked long and hard on this project to craft the perfect screenplay with our community’s best interest in mind. Many of you have lived here long enough to recall other controversial pictures (purchases). The producers of RSFGC Pictures didn’t want to take on any new roles without careful resident consideration and direction. You may remember before they ever shined the klieg light onto the silver screen of Garden Clubdom they asked for guidance. The Garden Club and the Association asked for a vote of confidence and sent out a ballot based on their vision for the future of the “back lot” at the corner of La Granada and Avenue de Acacias. The vote was clear, 85 percent of the voters

asked them to go forward. Dahling, for 11 months it has been in production, our people talking to their people and now, as we say in the biz, the film is in the can. The deal is inked and we’re proud to say those of us working on this production have been true to the original idea and to the script. You can review the fine points on the Association website and you will be receiving your ballot in the mail soon. All of us who have spent so much time rehearsing and presenting this epic drama hope you will grant us an Oscar, by giving the proposal a “yes” vote so the GC building will be saved for the use of our community, the village will gain valuable parking space for the movers and shakers in this two-bit town, and a charitable fund will be established with the sale proceeds to help with charitable projects in these here parts. I will look forward to seeing many of you at a concert, seminar or party over the next few months as homeowners make more and better use of the facility. We think the winner is…Rancho Santa Fe! I realize this article is making light of a very serious topic, but I think we need a little lightness in RSF right now. Whatever the outcome we will all still live in a great place and I, for one, will finally get to ride off into the sunset. We’re far from perfect here in Rancho Santa Fe, but by working together we can continue to make it ever better. I give us two thumbs up. Helen DiZio President RSF Garden Club

Open letter to the Board of Directors, Rancho Santa Fe Association

I read in a recent article in the UT that: “Asked who approves manager pay, association officials said in a statement that the board — or the executive committee consisting of three out of seven members — determines compensation in executive session.” Article VII of the RSFA bylaws , Section 7, states that the Board of Directors shall fix the manager’s compensation. This would lead one to understand that any recommendation of a three-person committee must go to the entire board for approval, unless there was a formal delegation of the decision to a committee of the board. Many of us would like clarification on what the past practice has been. In the past, has any group smaller than the full board approved the compensation of the manager? If so, can you tell us when that occurred and whether the board voted to delegate authority to that committee to approve the manager’s compensation? If not, can you tell us when and how the full board has approved the manager’s compensation in recent years? Presumably, there would be documentation in the form of meeting minutes or other evidence of any action taken to approve the manager’s compensation. Likewise, there would be documentation of any action by the board to delegate its authority to approve the manager’s compensation to a committee. Would you be willing to tell us what evidence exists and share any documentation with members? I would like this issue to be placed on a future open agenda to discuss past authorization and evidence. Or, if no past authorization or evidence of such exists, I would like to hear the board plans for corrective action. If this letter is insufficient to get an item on a future agenda, I would like a response from the board outlining specifically what steps must be taken by members to get an item on an agenda. I want to be very clear that by asking for this information I am not criticizing a decision of the board or casting any aspersions on anyone. I am merely asking for an open session discussion of an important issue and for information to inform the membership about the process of approving manager compensation that has been used in the past. James Boon, Covenant resident

I’ve read with dismay about our recent local government upheaval and the removal of our current association president, Ann Boon. I’ve also read the letter submitted by many past presidents of our RSF Association, as well as other “Letters to the Editor” regarding this series of events. I have called Rancho Santa Fe my home for the past 20 years, and currently serve as a board member of the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID). When I moved here, the cost of water was a fraction of what it is today, and I believe that the same is true of the salaries for our RSF Association Manager and our Golf Club General Manager. Today’s higher water rates and RSF Association salaries are not due just to inflation; I understand why our water costs have risen, but not our RSF Association compensation. As an SFID board member, you may know of me as a fiscal conservative. I don’t believe that anyone wants to pay more for safe, reliable water than is reasonable. I also believe that many feel the same way about our costs associated with running the RSF Association; we should pay what is reasonable for quality management. At the SFID, we review the performance and salary/ benefits of our General Manager yearly as an entire board. I believe that this is one of our highest fiduciary responsibilities, since the General Manager is in essence our CEO. I believe that the same should be occurring at our RSF Association, and am alarmed that this has not been the case for many years. If our salary structure at the RSF Association is not appropriate, or if there are more fiscally prudent structural alternatives for how we manage our Association, then I believe that our current and past Association board members are accountable. As I’ve seen firsthand at our Santa Fe Irrigation District meetings, there can be major disagreements among board members as they grapple with issues. If we don’t continually challenge the way we conduct business in our water district or our RSF Association, then we ourselves are solely accountable. The solution is not to suggest that people move away if they aren’t happy, but to get personally involved to make things as good as they can be. First, we have to admit that we can do better.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

RSF Association employees have loyally served the Association through dangerous times and deserve their compensation The compensation for our employees has been under attack lately and I wanted to remind my fellow residents about a situation that existed here that you may have forgotten or were not aware of… Dolan-King vs. Rancho Santa Fe. The Dolan-Kings moved here in 1998 and wanted to build a wrought iron fence around their property and add on to their home. When they were turned down by the Art Jury, they went to court, and lost. During the appeal, they built the 5’ wrought iron fence anyway. One of our employees, Mike Meeker, who testified in court for the Covenant, wrote letters asking that they remove the fence. One Sunday, he answered his door to find a young man wanting him to sign for a package. When Mike took the clipboard, he was, “cold-cocked” and as the man ran off he yelled back, “Tell Pete he’s next!” Pete Smith was then asked by security to carry a gun and he was given protection for the rest of that crisis. Another employee was threatened at his home by four thugs. To give you an idea of how dangerous this was, Richard King had his fingerprints removed surgically and is now in jail for drug trafficking. The cost to the Association in fees, time and unrest was tremendous. In all those years, and they were many years, our employees stood fast. They stayed even when it became so dangerous for them and their families... most others would have left. They not only kept doing their jobs but did so much more in their efforts to protect us and the Covenant. Remember the fire and who stayed here the whole time? Pete Smith. So I am sure you agree with me when I say they deserve their compensation and I hope they will continue to be compensated generously. Patty Queen Rancho Santa Fe

OBITUARIES

Norman L. Sobel 1925 – 2014

Edward “Red” John McCrink 1921 – 2014 Ed McCrink left this world to go home to our Lord on Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2014, surrounded by his loved ones, his loving wife of 66 years, Dottie, and his six children. Ed was born on January 17, 1921, in Newark, New Jersey, to Irish immigrant parents, Joseph John McCrink and Agnes Doogan. Ed was a WWII United States Navy

Veteran. He and Dorothy (Fleishman) met at The College of Fine Arts in 1946 and they married on August 30, 1947, in Carlstadt, New Jersey. Edward whisked his bride away to Chicago, IL, for a new beginning, where he attended The Chicago Art Institute. While attending school, Ed drove a taxi at night, learning all the streets and shortcuts throughout the Chicago area. Ed got his first sales position at Salkover Metal Heat Treating Company. Edward’s sparkling blue eyes, charismatic smile, and humorous wit helped him excel at sales. After four years he ventured off to start a company named “Hi Temp”. Much like his father, Edward was an inventor and he went on to form two other heat treating companies, TruTemp and Steele Treating. The group of companies had great success,

becoming the largest metal heat treating company in the Midwest. Eventually, Ed sold them to Beatrice Foods. He later started other new businesses in the fire safety field as well as special alloy metal tube manufacturing, which is still in operation today. During his years of success in business, he and Dottie had also built a beautiful family during the years 1949 through 1963, they had six wonderful children. In 1971 something inside Ed said, “Go West, young man.” He wanted to retire and golf more! He relocated his family to Rancho Santa Fe, CA, where he soon invested in many land development deals. Ed was an avid golfer for many years, participating in numerous Celebrity Pro Am Tournaments in California and Florida. Throughout their 66 years of marriage, Ed and Dottie gave back to the community generously

donating to many worthwhile charities, foundations, educational institutions, and hospitals. Ed is survived by his wife, Dottie; six children, Jim (Violy), Laurie, Edward John Jr. (aka Ned), Joe (Mina), Katie (Ken) Shull, and Charlie; eleven grandchildren, Molly (Walter) Berninger, Saralinda, Edward John III (aka Max), Joseph, Benjamin, Robin, Natalie, Juliette, Ryan, Nicholas and Megan; and one great-grandson, Otto. He is pre-deceased by his loving parents, Joseph and Agnes McCrink, and six siblings, Joe, James, May, Alice, Frankie and Eileen. Services for Edward will be held on Monday, March 17, 2014, at 3:00pm at The Church of the Nativity, 6309 El Apajo, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92091.

MINUTES continued from page A4 While the board accepted one change, the board did not support other deletions and additions. Putnam said she felt Boon was trying to incorporate her written statements from the meeting into the minutes, which Putnam said was inappropriate. Quay said she was being put in a very awkward position and couldn’t take everything down in that way. Parliamentarian Bruce Bishop was in attendance at the meeting and said that the minutes do not have to be so detailed. “From a parliamentary perspective what you’re required to do is memorialize the actions taken by the board and only actions,” Bishop said. Bishop said as Quay suggested, any attempt to memorialize the character

of statements made just invites problems and is just too “burdensome” on the secretary. A motion was made to attach Boon’s board-unapproved comments to the minutes to get it on record, but the motion failed 4-3 with Putnam, Wilkinson, Jerry Yahr and Larry Spitcaufsky voting against it. During public comment, one member suggested that in the interest of transparency, up-to-date meeting minutes should be emailed to members.

By Pat Sherman It’s been more than two decades since local resident and New York Times bestselling author Bill LaBarge penned his last book. Now, the former Top Gun is back in top literary form with a new political thriller based on the controversy surrounding Iran’s nuclear weapons program. “This was probably the hardest book I’ve written due to the research (required),â€? said LaBarge, who spent 23 years in the Navy and two decades after as a pilot for Southwest Airlines (from which he retired last summer). His previous books, including “Sweetwater Gunslinger 201,â€? “Hornet’s Nestâ€? and “Road to Gold,â€? were largely based on his real-life exploits as a Navy fighter pilot involved in the Iranian hostage crisis and other covert operations in the Persian Gulf. For his latest, “Lightning Strikes Twice,â€? LaBarge had to get up to speed on combat drones and dry deck shelters — removable modules attached to a submarine that allow divers to covertly enter and exit the vessel while it is submerged. LaBarge traveled to Creech Air Force Base in Clark County Nevada (near Las Vegas) to learn how combat drones are operated remotely. “I have a friend who flies the drones that attacked the targets in Afghanistan ‌ so I had to go up there and talk to them to make sure that my facts were on target,â€? he said, noting that he also worked with Navy SEALS to learn how dry deck shelters work, and pored over declassified (though not widely available) files related to the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant and Iran’s uranium enrichment program. Construction on the plant began in 1975, but was suspended following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, eventu-

perform ground attack, reconnaissance and air defense missions. “I was waiting for something to kind of get my juices flowing again,â€? LaBarge said of the F-35C, to be introduced in December 2015. LaBarge, who will read from his book at 7 p.m. March 29 at D.G. Wills Books, 7461 Girard Ave., La Jolla, played some 30 professional baseball games with the Philadelphia Phillies prior to his military career (as a non-contract walkon player during the Vietnam War). LaBarge said he wore so much cologne that, upon walking onto the field, teammates dubbed him “Sweetwater Willie,â€? a nickname that has stuck with him. A native of Dexter Maine, LaBarge holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s in international relations. He has sold movie rights to three of his other books, and served as a technical advisor on movies such as “The Final Countdownâ€? and Top Gun,â€? and the TV Series, “JAG.â€? His advice for aspiring authors? “Unless you’re doing a family synopsis that you don’t plan on putting out to the world, you have to have something that is going to attract a whole genre of readers — and it’s got to be interesting and unique if it’s going to sell.â€? In addition, he advised, “Get yourself on a high protein diet so that you can concentrate. ‌ You’re not going to get much sleep, because you’re working overtime. Many times during this whole process I probably didn’t sleep more than four hours a night because I’d wake up thinking of things and ‌ go to the computer.â€?

By Kristina Houck Nearly 400 people are expected to gather and raise funds for military families during the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation’s third annual fundraiser March 22 at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Founded in 2008, the nonprofit organization supports Navy SEALs and their families. “San Diego is such a military town with the Navy and Marines,” said Dominique Plewes, who is co-chairing the event with her mother, Madeleine Pickens. She noted that the cause is also personal as her father, Robert Richter, served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. “We’ve always been very pro-military and want to help our military,” she said. Although the fundraiser has always taken place at the Del Mar Country Club, which is owned by Pickens, this is the first time the mother-daughter duo is chairing the event. “This foundation came to the Del Mar Country Club and I met a lot of the families — the wives, the children and the husbands,” said Plewes, who now serves on the foundation’s board. “I just felt very moved to see what this foundation can do to really make a difference in their lives.” Recording artist and “American Idol” finalist Jessica Sanchez will sing the National Anthem at this year’s fundraiser. Born and raised in Chula Vista, the 18-year-old’s father is a Navy veteran and currently serves in the Navy Reserve. “She is bringing her mom and dad to the event,” Plewes said. “I’m very excited. She has an amazing voice.” The fundraiser will kick off with a scramble golf tournament, followed in the evening with a cocktail reception, live and silent auctions, and dinner and entertainment.

tions, including NSWKids, a nonprofit that provides funding for educational testing and tutoring to families in the NSW community, and The Rosie Network, an online search tool that promotes businesses owned by veterans and military spouses. Plewes hopes this year’s golf and gala fundraiser will raise $1 million. Although tickets are already sold out, she encouraged people to donate online and attend the May 3 fundraiser at the Jonathan Beach Club in Santa Monica.

The school has offered refunds to those who have already enrolled and, so far, no one has actually asked for their money back because of Hamilton’s departure, Todd said. “It is the same Summa with one absence — it is a key absence — but Summa is not one person,” she said. Wang and other parents, however, attributed much of Summa’s success to Hamilton, who ran the school and also worked directly with students as a teacher and counselor. Since the school was founded in 2011, Hamilton said, 27 Summa students scored perfect 2400s on the SAT college admissions test. He said students who have gone through Summa’s program boosted their SAT scores by 500 to 700 points, or even 1,000 points, and also were admitted to prestigious universities. But Hamilton’s influence seemed to go beyond test scores. “What appeals to me the most about (Hamilton)

is his role as a mentor in a child’s life,” said Hema Krishnamurthi of Carmel Valley, who sent her two sons to Summa. “He has an amazing ability to connect with them. A child walking out of his office feels motivated to read a lot of books, and do better in their studies, and has a better sense of self-worth.” Sharon Lee Rhodes, a Carmel Valley resident, said all four of her children have worked with Hamilton, either for SAT prep or college guidance counseling. Rhodes, who is also dean of economic development at the San Diego Community College District, said the decision to dismiss Hamilton was “an awful mistake.” She credited Hamilton and Summa with helping to “place (San Diego) on the map with a lot of the elite colleges.” Her three older children — including a son at Yale who was also accepted at Harvard and Princeton — are now in college, and her younger daughter is in high school. “I hope the leadership at Summa realizes what a bad choice of executive management decision they made and I hope they’ll reverse it,” Rhodes said. Hamilton, 44, said he was informed by the school’s administration that he was fired on Feb. 28 and told not to come back to the office. He said he was not given a reason for the decision. Before co-founding Summa, Hamilton worked for another SAT prep program called Elite Educa-

tional Institute, and also taught at UCLA, where he earned graduate degrees. Following his departure from Elite, the rival company sued Hamilton and Summa, and according to published reports, won a $3 million judgment. In its lawsuit, Elite alleged that Hamilton stole proprietary information, including client lists, and recruited key Elite staff for his new business. Hamilton said the judge later overturned part of the verdict, and that the judge’s decision bodes well for an appeal of the remaining verdict. He denied the allegations in the lawsuit. Hamilton said he is “shell-shocked” from his firing, but touched by the outpouring of support from parents and students. “This whole thing for me is a great sense of personal loss. It’s sad I’m not allowed to continue my work at Summa. I would come back in a heartbeat,” Hamilton said. Even Todd acknowledged Hamilton’s rapport with students, which she described as “magical.” Two of her own sons worked with Hamilton both at Elite and then Summa. While she is an attorney, and not an educator, she said she was brought in by a group of investment partners last fall to save the school. “I was hired by my partners to go in and make this business work. And that’s what I’m doing,” she said.

The club has also had the opportunity to get involved with the community. They were able to loan some classic cars to the RSF Community Center for its Great Gatsby gala fundraising event last year. The club is also looking to get involved with the RSF Fire Protection District’s pancake breakfast.

Erickson encourages the community to come out and visit them. “It’s a fantastic group of people and cars that you be hard-pressed to find in a museum,” Erickson said. “You never know who is going to show up and what they’re going to bring, that’s what makes it special.” For more information on the Secret Car Club, find them on Facebook or call Chris Erickson at (858) 775-2161.

(L-R) Canyon Crest Academy senior Ali King reviews her menu plans for the gala with Principal Karl Mueller; Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is hosting its annual gala May 16 at CCA’s Proscenium Theater. Courtesy photos the gala at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. By holding the event on campus this year, the foundation is investing in the school. The foundation has already purchased portable, multi-colored, computer-controlled lights for the Proscenium Theater, as well as other equipment, that students can use for years to come. “That’s why we’re here,” Caterina said. “This is our job — to support the school.” Holding the gala on campus also gives the foundation an opportunity to increase student involvement in the event. From event posters to gala entertainment, students are involved in every aspect of the occasion this year, Couvrette said. “When people see the students’ involvement, they understand why they need to

donate,” Couvrette said. “They are a shining example of why you should donate to promote the programs the students benefit from.” CCA senior Ali King serves as the student lead of the gala’s food committee. Through the school’s ROP Business Management class, King helps operate NEST, the student-run café at CCA. Using her restaurant experience, King is developing the appetizer menu for the gala and will train a team of students to assist with the appetizer table at the event. “It’s been nice to get the experience of being at a meeting, communicating with other people and coming up with ideas for the appetizer table,” said King, who wants to be a chef. “You can really be creative in the kitchen.

By Kristina Houck Canyon Crest Academy opened in 2004 with 364 students in 19 trailers in a parking lot. Today, the Carmel Valley school has grown to 1,880 students and a full range of academics, athletics and arts programs made possible by the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the school, the parent-led organization is hosting its annual gala May 16 at CCA’s Proscenium Theater. “The school’s growth in the community, academic achievements, cultural achievements, sports achievements — everything — has exceeded my expectations as a community member,” said Amy Caterina, president of the foundation’s board. “The school is very successful.” With “Across the Universe: A Tribute to the Beatles,” as this year’s theme, the gala will recognize the 10th anniversary of the school and the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ debut in the United States. In the style of an old Hollywood opening night, guests will walk the red carpet, pose for the paparazzi and feast on Beatles-themed treats as they make their way through an “Octopus’s Garden” to the show. The musical, theatrical and artistic extravaganza will feature songs from the Beatles and students from CCA’s Envision programs for cinema, dance, digital and fine art, instrumental music, theater, and vocal music. “We wanted to really throw away the old model of a gala and not do something offsite where we spend our money at a hotel,” said Joanne Couvrette, the foundation’s executive director. “We wanted to spend money at the school and make the event centered around our students.” Last year, the foundation spent thousands holding

Cathedral Catholic’s dynasty is into its third decade and still going strong. The Dons (in photo above) won their third consecutive San Diego Section title after defeating Scripps Ranch 2-0 in the Division I championship game on March 8 at San Diego Mesa College. The Dons have won divisional championships in 10 of last 14 years and have appeared in title game in all but two of the last 26 seasons. Their most recent championship sends the Dons to the Southern California Regional championships. They were scheduled to open the tournament against St. Joseph of Lakewood on March 11 (after presstime for this newspaper). Alyssa Fiddes and Audrey Hegardt each scored one goal to lead the Dons. Kelsey Irwin and Olivia Elrbeck each contributed one assist. Dons goalie Hanna Macaulay was credited with the shutout. The title game victory followed a 3-0 semifinal victory over Patrick Henry on March 4 in which Sunny Dunphy, Tamara Gomez and Fiddes each scored one goal and Olivia Erlbeck contributed two assists. Macaulay was credited with the shutout. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 23-3-3. — Report by Gideon Rubin. Courtesy photo

BILY San Diego offers parents a way to a peaceful home County Supervisor Dave Roberts recently visited BILY (Because I Love You), a San Diego County non-profit parent support group dedicated to supporting parents with children of any age. BILY was first established in Los Angeles by Dennis Poncher in 1982 and in San Diego by Mymy and Steve Cade in 2011 to assist families whose parents are struggling or in crisis due to the behavioral problems of their children (offering support for adult children as well). Supervisor Roberts observed first-hand the tremendous need for the program the group offers. He heard from parents whose children are exhibiting behaviors such as disrespect, defiance, drug abuse, sense of entitlement, trouble with the law, truancy and poor work ethic. BILY offers support and guidance so that parents can make fundamental changes that

The effectiveness of the BILY program and organization is best described through the testimony of parent participants: Before BILY: “...we were completely lost and confused and exhausted.” After BILY: “Our confidence as parents is growing. Our children are growing up, learning to own their own problems and figure out their own solutions.” Before BILY: “Our house was controlled by negativity, shouting, door slamming and arguing.” After BILY: “We are learning how not to emotionally engage and are seeing amazing results in our family life…BILY offers a way out of the chaos…” BILY San Diego meets Monday evenings, 7 to 9 p.m., Seacoast Church, 1050 Regal Road, Encinitas. Meetings are non-denominational, open to the public and free. Reservations are recommended but not required.

Don Diego Scholarship Foundation issues a tribute to special scholar Rachel Dawson •Rachel’s parents will also establish a foundation in her honor All of the Legacy Bricks honoring Don Diego Scholarship Foundation recipients are as special as the scholars they represent. The bricks of scholars, board members and contributors embellish pathways at the Don Diego Legacy Brick Fountain in the Plaza de MĂŠxico at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. No brick is more special than that of Rachel Dawson, who received a scholarship in 1996 as she graduated from the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. Rachel qualified for the $5,000 scholarship by exhibiting a prize-winning family quilt at the San Diego County Fair. She received additional scholarships, all totaling $17,000, enabling her to earn a BFA in Costume Design from Cal Arts after attending the Rhode Island School of Design and Pasadena Art Center. She was an Old Globe costume intern, worked for Disney Imagineering, designed puppets, painted portraits, sold hand-cut stationery and was planning a career in fabric and surface design. Rachel passed away from leukemia at age 34 on January 20, 2013. This serene and incredibly talented young woman accomplished much in her brief life, says her mother, Donna Dawson. “She was like a comet, impressing people with her creativity, kindness and generosity, and then suddenly was gone. Two months after Rachel died, I received a beautiful bouquet of birthday roses from her. She had ordered them way ahead of time, in case she would not be here to give them to me herself.â€?

His cousins also run their own store. The

first family business was in existence around 1850 in Florence and was run by his great-great-grandfather, Bellini said. Although he wanted to continue the family business, Bellini wanted to open his store overseas. “I realized that dream,” he said. “If you ever watched an Italian movie and liked what you see in the movies, how their houses were warm and charming, you can find the same feeling here,” Bellini added. “My goal is to bring here the best of Italy.” Bellini’s Antique Italia is located at 117 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach. The shop is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more information,

GRAHAM BLAIR

By Kristina Houck A fifth-generation Italian antique dealer, Jacopo Bellini grew up searching for hidden gems. “It’s fun,” Bellini said. “It’s treasure hunting. There’s always something that I fall in love with.” Born and raised in Milan with ancestral heritage in Florence, Bellini shares his culture through the Italian antiques he brings to his store. Located in Solana Beach’s Design District, Bellini’s Antique Italia offers 17th century to mid-20th century modern Italian antiques, as well as contemporary décor pieces. Hand-picked for their master craftsmanship, every piece has its own story. “Sometimes you can tell the story because you bought it from a family that has owned the piece for a long time,” Bellini said. “With 20th mid-century pieces, there is a story related to the designer who designed the piece.” Bellini relocated to the United States in 2000. For two years, he worked as an antique buyer and restorer before opening his own store in Solana Beach. “Coming from Italy, I’m used to people walking the streets,” he said. “La Jolla, Little Italy and Solana Beach were the only three places where I saw people walking.” Bellini’s Antique Italia opened in 2002 at the corner of Cedros Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive before it moved to its current, more visible location across the street about a decade later.

To your health: Proton Therapy arrives in San Diego – What does it mean?

Community Concerts of RSF Outreach Program brings Locust Street Taxi to UC San Diego’s Preuss School

www.rsfreview.com

A key element of the Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe season is the educational outreach program offered before most concerts. Before its evening concert, Locust Street Taxi spent the morning at UC San Diego’s Preuss School playing mostly its novel and humorous original songs and interacting with the students while demonstrating various instruments and fielding lots of questions. One question from the students was just how did the group’s members go about writing a song? Well, there was no simple answer to this, as there are lots of ways a song comes about, but the musicians demonstrated one way by challenging the students to come up with a title, any title, and they would create a song about it within minutes. The students came up with about as silly a title as they could think of. To their delight, Locust Street Taxi quickly came up with a song about the “Chartreuse Ostrich” that generated lots of laughter and giggles. The outreach peaked, actually, once the music stopped. The children at the program were from the drama arts, guitar and orchestra classes and were immediately crowding around the Locust Street group asking more questions, getting autographs on CDs given as gifts, and playing their instruments. The teachers almost had to drag them away to their next class. The Preuss School UCSD is a charter middle and high school for lowincome, highly motivated students who strive to become the first in their families to graduate from college.

In February 2014, San Diego County’s first proton treatment center opened its doors for patient care. Carl Rossi, M.D., medical director of the Scripps Proton Therapy Center, offers a glimpse into how this advanced treatment can benefit cancer patients. Q: What makes proton therapy different from other current forms of radiation? A: Proton therapy is the most precise form of radiation treatment available today. Conventional X-ray treatment beams penetrate well beyond the tumor, but protons can be controlled to conform precisely to the shape of the tumor and to release most of their energy within the tumor. Protons stop where the tumor stops. Q: How do patients benefit from this precision? A: The accuracy of protons enables doctors to treat tumors with a substantially lower total radiation dose to healthy tissue, compared to the latest X-ray therapy. The beam stops at the tumor, which helps preserve normal tissue. By minimizing harm to healthy tissue, patients tolerate their treatments better and are less likely to have problems in the long run related to their treatment.

Q: What’s the harm in low-dose radiation from X-rays? A: At some level, you will always create damage by irradiating healthy tissue. As we get better at curing cancer and people are living longer after treatment, there is cause for concern about long-term side effects. For example, a 2013 report in the New England Journal of Medicine analyzed the records of thousands of breast cancer patients who received X-ray treatments to their left breast. The report found these women developed a higher risk for heart disease, which was directly related to the volume of the heart that was irradiated during treatment. Q: What types of cancer can proton therapy treat effectively? A: Proton therapy is best suited for solid tumors that are 1) localized (i.e., have not spread); 2) situated near sensitive normal tissue; and 3) require high doses of radiation. Specific tumor sites well-suited for proton therapy include breast, lung, prostate, spine, head, neck, brain, gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system, among others. Proton is also recognized as the preferred form of radiation therapy for many pediatric cancers. Because children’s bodies are still growing, they are extremely

lution welcomed two new members at its monthly luncheon meeting held March 1 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. A record number of 15 new members, four transfers-in and one reinstated member joined the De Anza Chapter in 2013. De Anza 1st Vice Regent and membership chairman Marti Meiners and Chaplin Joanne Dudek inducted Amy D’Lima and Shirley Sayer, whose patriot ancestors saw battle during the Revolutionary War. Shirley’s ancestor, John Jacob Speck, was born in Pennsylvania in 1753 and was a weaver by trade. At age 27, he enlisted in the Third Battalion of York County Militia. He was killed in 1780 during the devastating Battle of Camden, North Carolina, a major British victory, and buried in a mass grave, leaving a widow and three children under age 5. Amy’s ancestor, Jonathan Sheppard, who enlisted at age 15 in a Maryland regiment was taken prisoner by the British at the battle of Fort Washington and shipped to England. After a prisoner exchange between the colonies and England, he reenlisted and fought at the Siege of Yorktown. He survived the Revolution, married and settled in what is now West Virginia. The event’s guest speaker, De Anza Librarian Katharine Dixon, MD, is a psychiatrist who directed the Ohio State University Eating Disorders Program during her tenure on the College of Medicine faculty. Katharine spoke about women’s health issues, specifically, diabetes. She has been a runner, swimmer, cyclist, weight lifter, equestrian, ice skater, racquetball player, skier, spelunker, trekker and a high-altitude mountain climber in South America and the Nepal, Indian and Bhutan Himalayas. She shared that she was diagnosed as pre-diabetic about a year ago, in spite of her active lifestyle. Since then, she followed dietary management to prevent further progression of this disease to type II diabetes. She explained in simple language what happens when we eat carbohydrates, the mechanism of insulin resistance, potential risk factors and the deleterious effects of diabetes. Katharine recommended consultation with a physician for further screening when risk factors for metabolic syndrome or diabetes are present, as well as nutritional information through The Center for Science in the Public Interest: www.cspinet.org. The attendees came away with good knowledge to use to in the prevention of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes. Junior member Alli DeFrancesco shared that she is a survivor of Non-Hodgkins’ Lymphoma, in remission since a bone marrow transplant.

By Diane Y. Welch On Friday evening, March 28, about 1,000 people are anticipated to convene at the Spreckels Theatre in downtown San Diego for a charity debut event that will directly impact the most vulnerable people of war-ravaged Afghanistan: its orphaned children. “The House of Hope International Concert & Ball” has been initiated and organized by Samir Zakir, 23, founder of the benefitting charity, Peace In Afghanistan (PIA), and owner of the movie production company Zakir Pictures, which is supporting PIA. The event will feature a musical show that spotlights Afghan and Persian singers, musicians, and dancers. Authentic Afghanistan food will be provided by Hillcrest’s Khyber Pass. Stars from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” television reality show will be present, along

Samir Zakir Courtesy photo with many other surprise celebrity guests, said Zakir. Monies raised from sales of tickets and a silent auction will benefit an orphanage and adoption project. “Currently these Afghan children are housed in a non-financed facility that is rundown and sorely inadequate,” said Zakir. “This new home, in Kabul, will be a safe house for these beautiful children who don’t have a dollar to their names and no family to take care of

them. They literally have nothing.” Zakir learned of these vulnerable children through his grandfather, Shafi Zakir, who is the vice president for a San Marcosbased charity, the Afghan Family Development Organization (AFDO). It provides financial means and other resources to Afghanistan’s war-devastated and destitute individuals and families, according to its website. More recently, AFDO partnered with the Afghan Prenatal Relief Project, donating $60,000 for the building of two prenatal clinics in remote parts of Afghanistan, facilities that are run by women and employ female doctors and nurses. “The hardships for some Afghanistan women is inhumane. It’s not unusual for them to die giving birth because their husbands won’t allow them

Olive Tree Fruit Prevention! Do you have an olive tree that produces nuisance fruit? Olive trees have been treated successfully for fruit prevention for years by spray treatment. Timing is important for fruit prevention. Treatments need to be made prior to or at the beginning of the flowering stage (mid-March through the first week of April).

to see a male doctor. It’s very sad,” Zakir explained. “Many of these babies then end up as orphans. With the PIA foundation we can now house them and make the adoption of these beautiful children possible.” The past year found Zakir faced with his own hardship when the grips of a seven- month-long depression caused him to withdraw from daily life. “I couldn’t go to meetings, I literally couldn’t talk to anyone. I had lost my focus. It was the worst experience of my life,” he said. When he sought treatment the underlying cause came to light. “I had been in a six -year relationship with my girlfriend and it didn’t allow me to develop and grow as a person. We were too young and the long relationship took its toll,” Zakir explained. By January, with his recovery and renewed energy, Zakir was able to finally focus on his two parallel passions: the movie

business and his foundation. Zakir Pictures has received financing, primarily through European connections, to move forward with the production of two films, “Money, Power and Everything Else” and “Facade,” both thrillers that are slated for release next year, according to Zakir. And in April, Zakir will travel to Kabul — protected by 13 bodyguards — to allocate the funds raised from the charity event that will finance the new orphanage. Tickets to “The House of Hope International Concert and Ball” are available at www.peaceinafghanistan.com and cost $200 each. Guests should arrive at 6:30 p.m. for a black tie, formal, red carpet entry, followed by a silent auction with luxury items that include $300,000 worth of art pieces donated by Celebration Fine Art Gallery, and precious jewelry and gemstone pieces. Event sponsors include Coca Cola, Rolex, Heaven Sent Desserts, Royal Maui Jewelers, Zakir Pictures and more.

Locust Street Taxi: Entertaining! Innovative! Creative! Challenging! By Dr. Jack Wheaton, Community Concert review Locust Street Taxi featured four very talented musicians, three of whom doubled on other instruments, and all four sang. Franco Bertucci was the guitarist and bandleader as well as the lead vocalist. Nathan Benjamin Geyer played trombone, trumpet, synthesizer, and sang vocals from rap, African pop, reggae, calypso, Motown, early rock, blues and unusual vocal solos in the scat tradition. James Porter was on bass guitar and vocals, and Sam Stockard played drums. This band was talented — high-energy, humorous and well-rehearsed. The program moved right along, closing with the Beatles tune “Hey Jude� sung reggae-style, which generated enthusiastic audience participation. The opening half often sounded like well-known musical stars, such as Paul Simon and the Beach Boys. The first number also got everyone’s attention with Geyer’s onstage antics. There were three-way vocals, synthesizer licks and an active stage presence. The second selection was fast and furious, with scat singing, jumping up and down as they played, and audience participation. Pre-song dialogue was very funny. The third number was Latin rock with Crosby, Stills & Nash harmonies as well as solos, and scat-singing a la Louis Armstrong. If that’s not boundless enough, the song fit in a style resembling Harry Belafonte along with a sudden change to calypso. For the fourth number, the drums came to the front, backed by an unusual vocal trio. Their imagination in musical styling was endless. You never knew what these guys would do next. They had the audience from the get-go. You might call these guys the Marx Brothers of music — a laugh a minute as well as playing good stuff. The group did 17 songs, with a short intermission. The second half saw more Latin jazz, “calypso rap,� and

Locust Street Taxi. Photo/McKenzie Images synthesizer madness. The choreography was great too. Geyer, the trombonist, was like a kid on one of those high-energy drinks — he never stood still. The climax of their program occurred when Geyer selected a new tune title from the audience, one that Geyer and the boys would spontaneously put a melody, chords and lyrics to. You just know that someone had to think up an impossible title; yes, the challenge was to create a song from the title “Rhino Blossoms.� Amazingly enough, the group came up with the chords and Geyer came up with a quick lyric that had everyone laughing. As mentioned earlier, the last selection was the Beatles’ “Hey Jude� in reggae rhythm. What a great ending. This ensemble: Entertaining! Innovative! Creative! Challenging! Congrats to our committee for picking this musical madness for Rancho Santa Fe. The next concert will be March 21 with Yang and Olivia Liu. See page B6 for more details.
