Local attorney brings cell phone privacy case to U.S. Supreme Court Pat Ford and other experts to examine how Fourth Amendment applies to smart phones

By Joe Tash Should police be allowed to search the smart phones of anyone they arrest without first obtaining a search warrant? That issue is at the heart of a case that a local attorney will soon bring before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Pat Ford has been practicing law in San Diego for three decades, and most of his work has centered on making appeals on behalf of those convicted of crimes in state and federal courts. On April 29, he will make his first appearance before the highest court in the land, on behalf of a young San Diego man convicted in a gang-related shooting.

At issue, said Ford and other legal experts, is whether the Fourth Amendment prohibition against

unreasonable searches and seizures requires police officers to obtain a search warrant signed by a judge before searching through the smart phone of a person who is arrested.

Ford contends that a warrant should be required, and the outcome of the Pat Ford case is significant on multiple levels — it could affect how police approach searches of smart phones and other digital devices throughout the United States, and also determine whether Ford’s client, David Leon Riley, re-

ceives a new trial. Riley is currently serving a sentence of 15 years to life in state prison for his conviction on charges including shooting at an occupied vehicle, along with an enhancement for gang involvement.

“This is a good chance for the U.S. Supreme Court to examine citizens’ rights to privacy in the digital age,” said Ford, 55, who lives locally and maintains an office in downtown San Diego. “Technology for all its benefits is not a friend of privacy and we have to continue to balance safety and privacy interests.”

“I think it’s going to be one of the most significant cases on Fourth Amendment rights in some time,” said Alex Kreit, an associate professor at San Diego’s Thomas

Jefferson Law School.

Since the 1970s, said Kreit, U.S. courts have recognized the right of police to search the “person” of an arrestee for weapons or contraband, even for an arrest on a traffic violation or other minor offense, without first obtaining a warrant.

That search would include looking through the detainee’s pockets or wallet, and items in his or her immediate vicinity.

The question is whether the same rule should apply to devices such as smart phones, which contain vast amounts of deeply personal information.

A search of a smart phone “is arguably a much greater invasion of your privacy,” Kreit said. ”Some-

Rancho Santa Fe Patrol to get new officer, vehicle Chief Wellhouser says this is the first staffing increase in 12 years

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Patrol will be getting a new officer as well as a new car.

The new officer could be on the job by July 1.

The new Patrol additions were made possible through the Rancho Santa Fe Association and Rancho Santa Fe Community Services District (CSD) working with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). As acting RSF Association Manager Ivan Holler reported at the March 6 Association meeting, LAFCO recently activated the Rancho Santa Fe CSD’s latent powers to provide security, in addition to the other services it provides.

The CSD currently provides residents with sewer collection, treatment and disposal services, as well as roadside landscaping for more than 60 miles of unincorporated county roads in the Covenant.

“The CSD now has the ability to expend funds for security services and we’ll be able to hire one additional patrol officer and purchase a vehicle through no cost increases to [Asso-

ciation] members,” Holler said.

RSF Association President Philip Wilkinson complimented Holler on the work with the CSD and LAFCO, resulting in wonderful benefits to the community.

According to RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser, the Patrol has not seen an increase in staffing for 12 years, since the 2001-02 fiscal year. The Patrol currently has a staff of 10 officers and one more member of the team will be a nice boost, he said.

“We needed some help on certain days of the week and to fill some holes,” Wellhouser said. “It will work out well for the Ranch, it will increase our eyes and ears on the Ranch and probably lower overtime shifts.”

The money to replace one of the Patrol’s Ford Explorers will also be a great help, he said.

They have one car with more than 140,000 miles on it, which Wellhouser said is more like 280,000 miles for the amount of idling and the kind of driving they do.

Eric Drummond co-stars on Animal Planet’s ‘Ice Cold Gold.’ COURTESY PHOTO

RSF geologist co-stars in reality show

By Kristina Houck A rock collector as a child, Eric Drummond never thought he would be doing what he loved on television. Now, the longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident co-stars in Animal Planet’s “Ice Cold Gold,” a reality show that follows seven gold miners prospecting and digging in Greenland.

“I couldn’t have imagined this happening,” said Drummond, who has lived with his wife in Rancho Santa Fe for 20 years. “This is a fantastic experience!”

Moxie Pictures claims its 29-member team is the first and largest television crew to produce a series in Greenland.

The country’s remote location, absence of roads, weather and 24-hour sunlight are just a few of the challenges the group faces throughout the series.

“It’s challenging. It’s very challenging,” Drummond said. “Prospecting is a

very risky business, but when you find something, it’s hugely rewarding.”

The second season kicked off March 6. For season two, the group returns to the “Red Zone,” a huge ruby deposit they discovered during the first season.

“I won’t go into detail, but I guarantee that [viewers] are going to see some amazing things — not just in what we find, but the culture, the areas that we prospect, the things we look for,” Drummond said. “It’s going to be a huge adventure.”

A geologist for more than 30 years, Drummond studied geology at New England College in New Hampshire. He started his career in the oil industry as a petroleum exploration geologist. He currently works as a Rancho Santa Fe-based consultant in hydrogeology, engineering See GEOLOGIST, Page AA2

PRIVACY continued from page 1 one just has to think about what’s on their own phone to really understand that.�

Ford said in Riley’s case, police could easily have obtained a warrant before examining his phone, because there was no threat to officer safety, or of destruction of evidence at the scene of the 2009 arrest in San Diego’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Riley was pulled over for having expired tags on his Lexus, and officers later determined his driver’s license was also expired. A search of the car before it was impounded turned up two loaded firearms. Based on text messages found on the phone and other evidence, police suspected Riley was a gang member, and they sought to connect him to a recent gang incident in which shots had been fired at an occupied vehicle, although no one was hit by the gunfire.

Photos and videos found in the phone were used against Riley during his trial, including an image of him standing in front of a vehicle believed to have been used in the shooting.

Ford said the prosecu-

tion’s case against Riley was weak, because none of the four eyewitnesses to the shooting could identify him.

But circumstantial evidence, including the material from the phone, was used to convict him.

The goal of the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is to get a new trial for Riley, “where they would have to prove his guilt without any evidence they got from the phone,� Ford said. “We think they’d have a substantially weaker case without that evidence.�

Ford declined to discuss his thoughts on Riley’s involvement in the shooting, or his possible gang ties. “(The case) is a statement that some things are more important than the truth,� he said. “We don’t want to live in a society where police can indiscriminately search our belongings and justify it after the fact by finding evidence of a crime.� “We’re looking for a finding requiring the police to apply for a search warrant before they search people’s cell phones,� he said.

geology and mining industries.

After being selected for the show, Drummond had to leave behind his wife, job, two cats and life in San Diego to film in Greenland for two months. He left it all behind for another two months this past summer to film season two. “It’s a huge commitment,� he said. “It’s a huge sacrifice to just leave your home. “But as a geologist, getting the chance to go to Greenland and explore and prospect is an opportunity of a lifetime. It’s something I felt was perfect for me. It was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.�

Drummond said he

hopes viewers, especially young viewers, watch the show and learn about geology. After all, he decided he wanted to go into the field when he was just a small child collecting rocks. “I hope they get an appreciation for what we’re doing and what Greenland is all about,� he said. “I’d like people to see us be successful in our endeavors and prospects, but also I’d like to see young people learn a little bit about geology, maybe spark an interest in some young people and make them want to study science. That’s the real reward for me.�

court. Ford will also attend the hearing.

Just getting the court to hear the case was a major accomplishment, because each year, the court receives tens of thousands of petitions and only accepts a couple of dozen cases, Ford said. “It’s an unbelievable coup.�

In his written brief — which has been joined by 11 supportive “friend of the court� briefs by a broad range of organizations — Ford wrote that the framers of the Constitution drafted the Fourth Amendment in response to an “odious�

Stolen money funded Rancho Santa Fe lifestyle •Feds: Former wireless CFO used the money for a lavish house, vehicles, jewelry and travel

By Susan Shroder, special to the Rancho Santa Fe Review The chief financial officer of a San Diego-based company pleaded guilty March 11 to stealing nearly $2.5 million from the firm to fund a lavish lifestyle that included a Rancho Santa Fe house, golf club membership and luxury vehicles, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Alfonso Fierro, Jr., 41, of Rancho Santa Fe, was CFO of WSA Distributing, Inc. The company, founded in 1999, is an authorized distributor for wireless handsets and accessories for companies, including Samsung, Kyocera, and LG, according to its website.

Fierro pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to mail fraud, U.S. Attorney Laura E. Duffy said in a statement. “As revealed today in court, Fierro used the stolen funds to catapult him instantaneously into the lifestyles of the rich and famous,� Duffy said.

According to court documents, Fierro became WSA’s corporate controller in 2008 and in 2012 was promoted to chief financial officer.

The criminal activity, investigated by the FBI, occurred from September 2011 until December 2013.

During that time, Fierro forged signatures on 110 checks totaling about $2.5 million and then falsified company books and records to cover the thefts, prosecutors said.

He also submitted a forged letter purportedly signed by the company’s chief executive officer to obtain two mortgages to buy a nearly $3 million Rancho Santa Fe house, prosecutors said. The letter claimed he earned an annual salary of $450,000 plus a $200,000 annual bonus. His actual salary was $125,000.

Forged checks were used for a $54,000 membership at San Diego Country Club; $90,000 in luxury vehicles; $185,000 in fine jewelry and watches; and $67,000 for a private jet to Hawaii and hotel accommodations.

Fierro faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He also will be required to pay back the stolen funds. Sentencing is scheduled May 4.

portions of the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The club sued the California Coastal Commission in January, alleging that the commission violated state law when it approved two permits for the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds.

At issue is whether the fairgrounds can continue to use part of a dirt lot — called the east overflow lot — along Interstate 5 for parking, seasonal pumpkin and Christmas tree sales and other activities. The Sierra Club and other environmental groups believe a portion of the east overflow lot should preserved as wetlands.

But the 22nd DAA, in a deal with the Coastal Commission, agreed to spend $5 million to restore its south overflow lot along Jimmy Durante Boulevard to wetlands habitat, in exchange for being allowed to continue to use the full east overflow lot.

The commission approved the agreement and necessary permits in November.

On Thursday, March 13, San Diego Superior Court Judge Katherine Bacal denied the Sierra Club’s request for a stay and temporary restraining order regarding those Coastal Commission permits. “We were pleased (by the ruling) because the judge recognized that there wasn’t an imminent threat to sensitive resources,� said 22nd DAA board member David Watson. “We believe the permits were issued correctly and the Coastal Commission did the correct analysis when they issued the permits.�

The Sierra Club’s attorney could not be reached for comment.

The next hearing regarding the lawsuit is set for July 25.

Inaugural ‘Lifetime Patriot Award’ presented to RSF philanthropists Blaine and LaVerne Briggs •The Patriots Initiative bestows its highest recognition for the Briggs’ lifetime of service and support to America’s military community — active, retired, wounded and fallen — and their families, Recognizing their extraordinary service to this nation and their continuous support of America’s military warriors and their families over the past 70 years, longtime Rancho Santa Fe residents Blaine and LaVerne Briggs have been named by The Patriots Initiative as the inaugural recipients of the “Lifetime Patriot Award.” The award was presented March 12 during a celebratory reception at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. The Lifetime Patriot Award recognizes exceptionalism exhibited by a lifetime’s body of work serving the nation, and its core values of self-reliance, philanthropy, free enterprise and defending freedom both in and out of uniform. Military service is not a prerequisite for being nominated, although it is anticipated that many recipients of the Lifetime Patriot Award will likely be veterans.

The award is given to a recipient selected from a comprehensive list of highly qualified, vetted nominees by the Advisory Board to The Patriots Initiative (TPI), the military -focused outreach program at The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation.

TPI’s Chairman, Greg Hillgren, cited the following

during the ceremony honoring the Briggs for their lifetime body of service and philanthropy: •Both Blaine and LaVerne are members of “the greatest generation,” and Blaine served with distinction in the Army Air Corps during WW II. As a young, B-24 lead navigator, Lt. Briggs was shot down over the Austrian Alps during his 27th mission in 1944, captured, interrogated

by Gestapo and imprisoned in Stalag 3 until liberated by Patton’s forces in 1945.

•When he returned to Des Moines, Iowa in 1946, he and his wife, Laverne, started and built several successful printing and medical records businesses. Every single male employee hired by those companies over three-plus decades were veterans or individuals preparing for future military service.

•After actively retiring to California in 1980, the Briggs have extensively supported many programs and causes that assist the military service community before, during and after deployments, including: •The Laverne and Blaine Briggs Rehabilitation Program at Scripps Encinitas Hospital provides important

physical rehab which, in many cases, has allowed service members to return to active duty.

•Leadership financial support for development of equipment that will enable paralyzed persons – mostly veterans – to walk.

•Either Blaine or LaVerne has served as Directors of The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, Charter Members of the RSFF Legacy Council, the RSF Women’s Fund, and the TPI Advisory Board.

•They continue to support their alma mater, Drake University and the Blank Children’s Hospital and Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa.

•The Briggs sponsor the La Costa Glen programs for “Boxes Overseas” sent to deployed military personnel and chair several of the Veterans Day and Memorial Day programs there, as well.

The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation’s Executive Director, Christy Wilson, says of the couple, “they both possess an unqualified ability and desire to share the blessings of their life with others who have been less fortunate.”

Q&A: Major General Mel Spiese weighs in on 2015 defense budget cuts

By Jeanne McKinney Rancho Santa Fe resident Major General Melvin G. Spiese understands the business of being a military superpower. Spiese, who recently retired as deputy commanding general of 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, spent more than 36 years leaving a lasting footprint, labeled “visionary” and “impactful.” He assesses the impact of the realignment and downsizing of all U.S. military services announced by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel from the Pentagon on Feb. 24, 2014.

Question: Secretary Hagel stated, “We are entering an era where American dominance on the seas, in the skies, and in space can no longer be taken for granted.”

How do you read Sec. Hagel’s statement? Is this indicative of a military in decline?

Maj. Gen. Spiese (MGS): “No, it’s indicative of a proliferation of ever increasing threats. We’ve seen massive proliferation of anti-aircraft weapons now as a consequence of some of the things that have happened in Libya.

We could see weapons of mass destruction make their way out of Syria. The Iranians are looking at long-range, antiship weapons – we know the Chinese have been working very hard at anti-access, area denial capabilities. As we’ve increased military capability…[our] adversaries have been doing the same thing. We haven’t yet developed all the weapons and capabilities and systems to put ourselves back in front in every respect.”

Question: On March 01, 2013, steep and abrupt automatic spending cuts were imposed on DOD under Section the mechanism of A sequestration. This amounted to $37 billion in more cuts. Can you explain how sequestration targets our military and redefines our ability to maintain dominance?

MGS: “We saw sequestration hit at a time we were trying to manage a reduction in the budget anyway. We simply weren’t able to plan for it. There are certain things in the budget that are just impossible to work around and it took a lot of latitude and flexibility away from our leaders to manage things. For example, we have to pay manpower bills, period. These unforeseen reductions come from what are referred to as hard currency accounts…and those happen to be typically readiness accounts.”

Question: In your Marine Corps tenure, how have defense spending cuts reduced or enhanced the success of military operations?

MGS: “Generally speaking, those [operations] have been funded OK because those are the people who are out on the line. What ends up happening, is everybody behind that suffers and that’s where we start getting [decreased] ability to train – even to maintain our manning levels inside the services.”

Question: Secretary Hagel said, “In the short term, the only way to implement sequestration is to sharply reduce spending on readiness and modernization, which would almost certainly result in a hollow force, one that is not ready, one that is not capable of fulfilling assigned missions.”

MGS: “That’s a very accurate assessment.”

Question: In what ways will a sharp reduction in readiness and modernization affect our ability to project U.S. power?

MGS: “I worry about the size of the Army. Ground combat has become very complicated. We’re equipping the forces with far more complex high-tech systems, whether it’s communication systems or weapons — how they integrate on the battlefield. I don’t believe that generating ground combat power overnight is easy. Those days are long gone, because the Infantryman is a weapons system, not just somebody who picks up a rifle and goes forward.”

Question: What happens if things heat up with Russia, Syria, Iran, China or North Korea involving the U.S.?

MGS: “There aren’t a whole lot of scenarios we can come up with where the United States would commit itself to a major war. Iraq and Afghanistan, especially during the surges, took everything we had out of the ground forces and a heck of a lot out of our air forces. That’s what we’re living with today and has nothing to do with sequestration. The problem of the budget going forward is recovery from this [in] all the services.”

Question: Are Americans and their safety against attack caught in the crosshairs of political budget wars?

MGS: “The security of the nation isn’t at risk, but certainly aspects of our livelihoods and our quality of life could be at risk if we see adversaries become more powerful and start restricting.”

Rattlesnake calls in the county triple with warmer weather The number of rattlesnake calls to the County’s Department of Animal Services (DAS) has more than tripled compared to the same time period last year. Since Jan. 1, DAS has received 78 calls from the community. Last year, only 24 calls came in during that time frame.

“Our very mild winter and several heat spells are drawing the rattlesnakes out of their dens a little earlier this year,” said DAS Director Dawn Danielson.

The more you know about snakes, the better prepared you will be for any potential encounters. The RSF Fire Department offers the following advice: How can rattlesnakes be identified?

Rattlesnakes have a powerful body, thin neck, and a well-defined triangular or arrow-shaped head. In comparison, a non-poisonous snake tends to look more like a snake a child rolls out of clay: the head, neck and body have more-or-less the same diameter. (Please note: This is true only of snakes native to California and does not apply to exotic snakes or snakes imported into California from elsewhere.)

What types of snakes are common in San Diego County?

There are four species of rattlesnakes found in San Diego County. The most common species is the Southern See SNAKES, page A14

Fair board bans e-cigs, hears from opponents of elephant rides

By Joe Tash Don’t plan on firing up an e-cigarette after downing a cinnamon roll, deep-fried Twinkie or slice of chocolate-covered bacon at this year’s San Diego County Fair.

The board that oversees the state-owned fairgrounds voted unanimously at its meeting on Tuesday, March 11, to ban the use of e-cigarettes and other similar devices during the San Diego County Fair. Last year, the 22nd District Agricultural Association board outlawed smoking tobacco cigarettes during the fair.

About 10 people spoke in favor of the e-cigarette ban at Tuesday’s meeting, and there were no speakers against the action.

“I just encourage the board to seriously consider banning e-cigs,” said Ray McEdward, who said his asthma is aggravated by the vapor from the electronic devices. “They’re not the harmless items everyone thinks they are.”

E-cigarettes are battery-powered cylinders containing a nicotine-infused fluid that turns into vapor when heated. Some critics of allowing their use in public places, such as Barbara Gordon, who spoke before the fair board Tuesday, said the devices are being marketed to young people by flavoring the vapor like cotton candy, bubble gum or watermelon.

“This is out of the Big Tobacco playbook,” she said, noting that tobacco companies own e-cigarette product lines.

Fair board member Adam Day said the agency set a “great standard” by becoming the first county fair in the state and one of the largest in the nation to go smoke-free.

“E-cigs weren’t on our radar a couple of years ago when we did that,” he said, but allowing their use during the fair “sends the wrong message to children and youth.”

Board member David Watson said it would be confusing to the public to allow the electronic devices while banning tobacco cigarettes.

In prohibiting e-cigarettes from the fair, the 22nd DAA board adopted similar language as an ordinance also approved Tuesday by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. That ordinance expanded the definition of e-cigarettes to include electronic pipes, hookahs and other similar devices, in a larger ordinance intended to restrict access to tobacco products by minors and limit the public’s exposure to second-hand smoke.

Melero Boutique & Gallery closes its doors at Flower Hill

By Kristina Houck A year after opening a second store at Flower Hill Promenade near Del Mar, both Melero Boutique & Gallery locations are now closing its doors.

Ruth Melero opened the first Melero Boutique & Gallery in Little Italy more than four years ago. She opened her Flower Hill store last March, which also offered a variety of women’s apparel and accessories. She announced the closing of both locations early March. “We appreciate your eternal support these past five years,” read a March 5 post on the company’s Facebook page. The same message was sent to the company’s email list on March 6. “Both our locations will now be closed and all merchandise is now on sale at our Little Italy location.”

Calls and emails to Melero were not returned by press time.

The Flower Hill store has already been closed. The phone number still works for the San Diego store, which is located at 1918 India St., but calls go straight to the answering machine.

Local mosaic artist featured at Oceanside Museum of Art

By Kristina Houck It wasn’t a chapel or a beach, but four couples exchanged vows in a giant Hershey’s Kiss on Valentine’s Day. The 12-foot tall art piece, which smells like chocolate, is a part of the latest exhibit at the Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA). Local artist Jean Wells [Hamerslag] was there as the couples got married in her creation during the opening of “Jean Wells: Icons of Desire” on Feb. 14.

“It warmed my heart,” said Wells, who had to reduce the piece from its original 18-foot size for the exhibit. “It made me so happy because what I like to do with my art is bring pleasure to the viewer.”

About 700 people attended the opening of the exhibit, which coincided with the museum’s Art After Dark: Vintage POP! event, said OMA Executive Director Daniel Foster.

“We’ve been getting quite a response from the community,” Foster said. “It is one of the most popular and well-attended exhibitions in our history.”

The exhibit features more than 60 life-size, pop-infused mosaics — some of which Wells had to borrow from her collectors. In addition to the Hershey’s Kiss, other popular pieces include a full-size operating Smart car, a 15-foot-tall lipstick, a Coke bottle and hamburger, and a Tiffany box.

One of Wells’ favorite pieces is “planted” outside in front of the museum. The 17-by-11-foot “Urban Fruit Tree” is topped with items such as ice cream cones, hamburgers, Coke bottles and Hershey’s Kisses.

“As you go through my show, you can see the humor,” said Wells, who grew up in Seattle and has lived in North San Diego County for about 20 years. “I like to poke a little fun, even though it’s serious work and hard work. I

(L-R) Oceanside Museum of Art Executive Director Daniel Foster with artist Jean Wells. Courtesy of OMA; Wells’ Urban Fruit Tree in front of the museum. Courtesy of Jean Wells like to have a special surprise for everybody that’s viewing.”

A third-generation mosaic artist, Wells served as an apprentice to her father when he worked on a large-scale Byzantine-style mosaic at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Seattle.

Wells went on to study graphic design at the University of Washington and worked in the advertising industry while raising her two children. Once her children were grown, she devoted more time to her art and held her first solo show in 2007.

“It’s a highly genetic predisposition and I thoroughly enjoy what I do today,” she said. “This is probably the most exciting part of my career.”

Although she is trained in the art of classical mosaics, she has developed a vision distinctly her own. Inspired by pop culture, all of Wells’ creations are sparkly and most are larger-thanlife.

“I love to take something that we see every day and turn it into something spectacular,” she said.

This is the first time her work has been installed at OMA, which is located at 704 Pier View Way in Oceanside. Her work is also currently on display at Boca Museum of Art in Florida as part of “Pop Culture: Selections from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation.”

“I’ve shown my work all over the world, but I haven’t really shown it in San Diego County. I really am happy to be able to share my work with a lot of my friends here in the area,” Wells said. “I love the Oceanside museum beSee ARTIST, page A22

MARCH 20, 2014 - rancho santa fe review

By Karen Billing Rancho Santa Fe Village Preschool student Kayden Storm had a surprise waiting for her when she came in from the playground on March 14: Her father, Trent, who had been away on a seven-week deployment with the U.S. Coast Guard.

Trent was part of the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Sherman, which returned to San Diego on March 14 after a patrol conducting frontline maritime drug interdiction.

Fresh from his deployment, Trent perched expectantly on a chair in the corner of the classroom waiting for Kayden to come in with a flood of other youngsters. As soon as she passed the door frame she spotted him and with a shout of “Daddy!” rushed into his arms for a hug.

Kayden is the granddaughter of Sue and Gordon Bartow, longtime Rancho Santa Fe residents.

Kayden’s mom, Michelle, grew up in Rancho Santa Fe and attended the Village Preschool herself, and the family now lives in San Elijo Hills.

As part of the Cutter Sherman crew, over the last 50 days Trent had patrolled the international waters off Central and South America,

Planning to buy or sell in Rancho Santa Fe or on the Coast?

Psychologist, researcher and author Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., (second from left), spoke recently on the “Science and Practice of Happiness Across the Lifespan” at the UCSD Stein Institute for Research on Aging. With her are Dr. Dilip Jeste, director of the Institute, Suzanne Angelucci, whose endowment sponsored the lecture series, and her daughter Barbara Giammona. Photo/Linda Hutchison happy all the time and that there is no magic formula. We have to work at it and realize that what we think will make us happy doesn’t always — or not for long.

Mind the Matter One of her central themes is the importance of having a prepared mind — a mind prepared to make reasonbased, healthier decisions, to think instead of acting on gut-based reactions. She admits that these initial reactions are often more compelling, such as “Take this job and shove it!” but rational second and third thoughts are more productive. When we think something through more carefully, we leave ourselves open to more ideas and opportunities.

Another finding of her research is that while certain events can make us very happy – a new marriage, job, home ,promotion, for example — our happiness doesn’t usually last. That’s because as humans, we quickly adapt to circumstances. Lyubomirsky refers to this as hedonic adaption, and also as creeping normalcy, insidious habituation, taking things for granted and boredom. When this sets in, we feel something must be wrong with us and that we are not happy. But there are tools we can use to head off or minimize this feeling, such as enjoying nature, introducing variety and surprises into our lives, meditating, exercising, eating well, writing and reflecting (without falling into ruminating), practicing gratitude and kindness and pursuing meaningful relationships and goals.

Lyubomirsky refrains from suggesting any one-sizefits-all formula for increasing happiness, but says that we can use our prepared minds and tools throughout our lives and view crisis or turning points as opportunities for growth. According to her research, approximately 40 percent of how we feel is within our control, with approximately 50 percent genetically determined and 10 percent influenced by circumstances.

Mature Happiness Although older people may face some different challenges (health problems, loss of friends and family, feelings of lost opportunities), they also have many advantages, according to Lyubomirsky. “Older people have more perspective, are emotionally wiser, know what makes them happy and avoid situations and people that don’t,” See LECTURE, page A14

By Linda Hutchison Is it possible for us to become happier people – that is, to experience happiness more often and throughout our lives?

Yes, it is, says Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., who recently spoke on “The Science and Practice of Happiness Across the Lifespan” at UCSD’s Stein Institute for Research on Aging.

A professor of psychology at UC Riverside, Lyubomirsky has spent more than 20 years developing a science of happiness, investigating how and why people are happy, and how they can become even happier. Her research has been awarded several prizes and grants and has been featured in hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles and television shows around the world.

In addition to her research, teaching and lecturing, Lyubomirsky is the author of two bestselling books on the subject: “The How of Happiness” and “The Myths of Happiness.”

How does she define happiness? “It has two components,” she said.

“The emotional component means we experience more positive emotions, such as joy, curiosity, appreciation and we want to increase the frequency.

The cognitive component means we are aware that life is good, we are satisfied with our progress toward goals, for example, and in other ways.” The two components are intertwined.

Americans are happiness oriented, she points out. After all, “the pursuit of Happiness” is included as an unalienable right in our Declaration of Independence, right up there with Life and Liberty.

The Country Friends celebrate 60 years of philanthropy and fashion this fall when they present the annual Art of Fashion at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. The nonprofit announced recently that it is honored to partner for the 10th straight year with South Coast Plaza, an international destination known for luxury shopping, personal service and upscale amenities. Proceeds from the fashion show and luncheon, featuring boutique shopping and the Après Affaire wine tasting, benefit more than 30 San Diego County charities, including Angels Foster Family Network, Casa de Amparo, Community Resource Center, Kids Korps USA, Promises2Kids, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, and many more.

The Country Friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; President Rhonda Tryon also recently announced that Andrea Naversen will serve once again as Art of Fashion Chair, a role she held in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled that Andrea will chair our organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature event and largest fundraiser for a second time,â&#x20AC;? says Tryon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year is especially important because it marks The Country Friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 60th anniversary. Andrea is a proven leader, and has assembled a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dream teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to help make this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event truly the best ever.â&#x20AC;?

Naversen, a former television anchor and the longtime Editor-at-Large of Ranch & Coast Magazine, was named a 2013 Woman of Dedication by the Salvation Army for her philanthropic service, and was a finalist in the San Diego Business Journalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Women Who Mean Business awards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to celebrating The Country Friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; six decades of service, providing crucial funding for dozens of San Diego County charities,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so proud to work with an organization that has long been committed to helping others.â&#x20AC;?

Art of Fashion will begin with the runway show, highlighting the 2014 fall/winter collections of South Coast Plazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned international designers and retailers, followed by a luncheon and the opportunity to shop South Coast Plaza mini-boutiques offering the latest in clothing, handbags, jewelry, eyewear and accessories. The event concludes with wine and dessert at Après Affaire.

The historic Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, which completed a $12 million renovation in 2012, including a new restaurant and spa, once again serves as the charming venue for this annual fall homage to fundraising and fashion.

Grand opening for San Dieguito River Park’s ‘Birdwing’ open air classroom expected to be held mid-May

By Karen Billing The San Dieguito River Park’s “Birdwing” open air classroom is taking shape near the lagoon in Del Mar; construction continued quietly last week to a soundtrack of the wetlands’ singing birds.

The facility borrows its name from the wing-like design of the rustic metal shade structure that covers rows of concrete bench seating for environmental education; the open air affording scenic views out across the carefully restored wetlands.

According to Dick Bobertz, executive director of the San Dieguito River Park, finishing touches on the classroom off Via de la Valle will be in place by April and it will open to the public in mid-May. It is already scheduled for numerous events for the first several months and a grand opening ceremony has been set for Tuesday, May 13, at 10 a.m.

“The Birdwing will be the River Park’s first permanent venue for group presentations and will greatly expand our public education program capacity,” Bobertz said. “One of our most important objectives is to help kids make a physical connection with the environment, so we will be bringing school classes to the Birdwing as much as possible.”

The classroom is being built with $330,000 of donor funds, $112,000 of which coming from the county and former Supervisor Pam Slater-Price. The Birdwing phase of the project broke ground in October 2013, with Southwest General Contractors of Escondido doing the work.

The classroom is carved out of a slope in between two trails, the upper and lower portions of the Coast to Crest Trail through the lagoon. Four curved rows of concrete seating terrace down to a “stage” area at the bottom. The classroom can accommodate 80 people with its permanent seating but with temporary chairs on the stage area, it could hold 120 people.

New wood bridges built on the trail will lead into the classroom and salvaged boulders will be placed on the edges. Some of the boulders are already in place marking the trail.

Volunteers were hard at work last week planting the surrounding areas with shrubs, Coastal Sage Scrub mix and riparian trees.

A parking area is also in the works. About 60 spaces in the decomposed granite lot

SNAKES

continued from page A2 Pacific rattlesnake, which can be found in prairie or sage scrub areas as well as housing developments, parks, and even the beach.

The Red Diamond rattlesnake is the largest species in the county and prefers to live away from developed areas; however, as communities spread into open land, sightings are becoming more common.

Southwestern Speckled rattlesnakes are very shy and avoid populated areas, making them the least common species to be seen in Southern California.

Found only in the desert, the Colorado Desert Sidewinder is the smallest species in the area. Photos of these species can be found on our website at www.rsffire.org/safety/rattlesnake. html.

What if I see a snake?

If you see a snake, the best thing to do is leave it alone! Do not attempt to touch it or pick it up. If you are in an open or wilderness area, let the snake be. That is its home. If the snake is near your house, especially if you have children or animals, you can call your local fire department or animal control agency to come and remove the snake for you. If you live within the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, or when in doubt, call 9-11 and they will send help your way.

What can be done to prevent a bite?

Hands, feet, and ankles are the most common sites for rattlesnake bites. Using some common sense rules can prevent most snake bites.

•Never go barefooted or wear sandals when walking in rough or unpaved terrain.

•Always stay on paths.

•Always look for concealed snakes before picking up rocks, sticks or firewood.

•Always check carefully around stumps or logs before sitting.

•When climbing, always look before putting your hands in a new location.

• Never grab “sticks” or “branches” while swimming. Rattlesnakes are excellent swimmers.

•Teach children to respect snakes and to leave snakes alone.

•Always give snakes the right of way!

What if someone is bitten?

A snakebite emergency plan should be developed before it is needed. Initial treatment is relatively simple: •Call 9-1-1 immediately!

•Try to calm the vic-

The “Birdwing” open air classroom in the San Dieguito River Park lagoon is expected to be finished in April, with a grand opening celebration in May. Photo/Karen Billing adjacent to the site will serve trail users, the classroom and a future lagoon nature center.

A public design process for the nature center was completed in 2009 and it is proposed to be located about halfway between San Andreas and the Birdwing. According to Bobertz, the capital program to get the funds necessary for the nature center is expected to begin in May. For more information, visit sdrp.org

tim.

•Gently wash the area with soap and water.

•Apply a cold, wet cloth over the bite.

There are several things that should not be done as they will not help and can actually be more dangerous to the victim: •DO NOT apply a tourniquet.

•DO NOT pack the bite area in ice.

•DO NOT cut the wound with a knife or razor.

•DO NOT use your mouth to suck out the venom.

•DO NOT let the victim drink alcohol.

she said. “They know they have less time, so they use it more wisely and effectively, are less likely to ruminate. They know they will get through the day.”

If older people can learn anything from younger ones, it would be to take more risks, she added. Instead of sticking with the comfortable, have lunch with someone new or try a new activity.

“Younger people are risk takers, they want new experiences and opportunities. Neither approach is right or wrong, both have advantages.”

Lyubomirsky even thinks those who have been chronically unhappy can learn to start an upward spiral with such simple steps as helping others.

“Acts of kindness can help people feel really good, can snowball, attract new friends,” she said.

Lyubomirsky says her own greatest sources of happiness are her family (she is married with four children, ages 10 months to 14 years) and her work.

She first noticed a difference in happiness levels at the age of 9. Newly arrived

in Boston from Russia, Lyubomirsky was struck by how much happier Americans appeared strolling down the street, smiling and saying hello, than Russians. (Today, she adds, younger Russians are happier.)

Her interest in studying happiness sparked on her first day of graduate school.

While walking around the Stanford campus with her new bachelor’s degree from Harvard and her graduate advisor, they began discussing what makes people happy, even though his area of expertise was conflict and negotiation. This conversation led to their first research studies.

In the future, she would like to conduct more long-term studies that follow people for many years as well as analyze how positive actions work, how to alleviate depression, the role of genetic make-up and how to measure behavior more objectively beyond self-reporting.

By Gail Kendall, President, CCRSF Community Concerts of RSF is so pleased to present our 2014-15 Season. Tickets will go on sale beginning March 21 at the concert featuring Yang & Olivia Liu. As usual, all concerts will be held at the newly renovated Fellowship Hall of the Village Church. Please visit the Community Concerts website for online credit card sales and event information: www.ccrsf.org. Tickets may also be purchased by mail: Community Concerts of RSF, P O Box 2781, RSF 92067.

We have an exciting line-up of season concerts, plus one, sure to please all.

On Sept. 19 we begin with the exciting new popopera star, Fernando Varela. Fernando has been mentored by the best in opera, including Placido Domingo, and is described as an opera star, the likes of Andrea Bocelli and even Pavarotti in his younger years. However he is equally comfortable country, pop, and Broadway.

Susan Egan performs on Oct. 24. Susan is a veteran of the Broadway stage, winning critical acclaim as Broadway’s longest-running “Sally Bowles” in Cabaret, and, most notably, has received both Tony Award and Drama Desk nominations for “Best Actress” as the original “Belle” in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Egan has a vast array of concert experience as well. She’s adorable, her voice and stage presence is beyond fantastic.

We present Alex DePue with Miguel DeHoyos on Jan. 23, 2015. DePue, a world-renowned violinist/fiddler, leads the duo through an array of styles – Classical, Bluegrass, and Rock – with blazing virtuosity and emotion.

They are a supercharged, accessible, genre-crossing repertoire. Together, they produce an unparalleled sound—music that can speak to anyone’s soul.

Good Company is on our stage Feb. 27, 2015 to close out our “season” on a great high. Their new production, “Under the Influence of Great American Music,” explores the music that has inspired their own individual sound and approach, backed by a dynamic four-piece rhythm section. This incredible outfit exhibits the essence of Nashville’s songwriting, youthful Rock and Roll passion, and the exuberant spirit of Gospel-inspired sweet Southern Soul.

We are so excited to bring you the sounds of the Great American Songbook with Simply Sinatra, featuring Steve Lippia and his 10-piece orchestra. This is a non-series performance on Saturday, May 9, 2015. Steve Lippia has become one of the most prominent, in-demand vocalists and has quickly established his place among the finest interpreters of the “standards” and traditional pop music in the nation. CCRSF will present this show also at the Village Church Fellowship Hall – a Saturday “date night” performance. Simply Sinatra on sale date for tickets TBA. Community Concerts Season ticket prices remain the same, starting at $200 for the Early Bird pricing through June 30, $225 after. Single tickets will also be available at $75 per ticket. Community Concerts is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. And all donations are tax deductible.

The current proposal for the RSF Garden Club purchase/transfer of ownership seems like an okay deal except that the proceeds from this transaction do not go directly to the Garden Club and neither do the use of the funds that come from the proceeds invested in a permanent endowment.

The proceeds from the property sale are proposed to go to a Garden Club endowment fund set up at the RSF Foundation and then the annual investment proceeds from that fund should go to the Garden Club but no they don’t. The annual earnings are proposed to go to an Oversight Committee made up of three parties: the RSF Association, the RSF Foundation and the Garden Club to decide on disbursements to other organizations or projects in Rancho Santa Fe.. Why isn’t this solely the decision of the Garden Club as to where their endowment fund proceeds should go?

The Garden Club, as a 501 3c organization, in its Articles of Incorporation documents states: “The specific purpose of this corporation is to further the development of charitable horticultural and charitable conservation activities, both within and outside the community of Rancho Santa Fe.” Why do they need to accommodate other wishes from other organizations that have other designs on what is the Garden Club’s earnings from their endowment? Are there other organizations in RSF that have this arrangement with the RSF Association and the Foundation? Let’s keep it simple and let the seller decide on how they want the monies to be used and not the buyer. That would make some sense. Would you allow someone else to tell you where you can spend your proceeds from a real estate transaction? That’s what is proposed and needs to be changed.

Although research is not conclusive on whether e-cigarettes encourage teens to move on to tobacco cigarettes – or whether e-cigarettes are less harmful than cigarettes – a number of health organizations have advocated for restrictions on their use.

voted last year to oppose the use of e-cigarettes in all areas where other tobacco products are banned, according to a report included with Tuesday’s 22nd DAA board agenda.

Also at Tuesday’s meeting, a number of people opposed to elephant rides at the San Diego County Fair addressed the board during the public comment period. The issue has proven controversial in recent years, as animal rights activists argued that the rides should not be allowed, while others want them to continue.

Jane Cartmill, president of San Diego Animal Advocates, praised the board for banning e-cigarettes, but said it should also end its contract for the elephant rides. “I think the dangers of little children riding on elephants is considerably greater.”

Rant with Randi: Thank you Chelsea

BY RANDI CRAWFORD I don’t even know where to start. Four years ago, I received a call from a friend, whose dear friend needed our help. Her daughter had gone jogging and wasn’t home at her usual time and, within minutes, her family knew something was terribly wrong. My friend asked if I would help to put up flyers around Poway to look for Chelsea King and so I jumped right on it. I remember how the community immediately sprang into action and people from all over San Diego were there to help.

My friend told me that Brent King would never stop fighting for his daughter until the day he died. While I believed her then, I never would have believed what that family has accomplished in the four short years since that tragic day when a monster took her life. They established “Finish Chelsea’s Run” to literally finish the run that Chelsea never got to finish herself. From what I understand, they were expecting 100 people to show up for that first race. Instead, they were showered with 3,500 people the very first year.

I’m not a runner, and I definitely don’t like getting up at the crack of dawn. But this year my daughter convinced me to register us for Chelsea’s Run because it really meant a lot to her. It rained all week and the weather channel said, “100 precipitation Saturday”... it didn’t say “chance” because 100 percent means there is no chance. This was going to be a wet, and cold race, but I still committed to my daughter and agreed that we would go unless there was thunder and lightning. (You know I prayed for thunder and lightning, right?) My sister and her daughter ran with us, which made the experience incredibly special.

And then the most magical thing happened. My alarm went off at 5:30 a.m. and there was no rain. I thought I must have still been sleeping because it had to be raining, but there was none. So I prayed for it to just hold off a little more, at least until the end of the race, chugged two cups of coffee, and headed out the door.

When we arrived, it was gorgeous outside. The sun was shining, the skies were blue, and it hit me harder than I had imagined. The only way to explain it is that you just felt Chelsea’s presence all around. It was an intensely emotional experience. The next thing that bowls you over is the magnitude of people. They announced that it was close to 10,000 supporters this year, and again a flood of emotions took over my body. While we were lining up for the run, Brent King started talking, and he told us to “Jump in all the puddles because that’s what Chelsea

would have done,” and by now the swell of emotion was enormous. I wish that I could better describe the feeling that takes over your body, because it’s almost an out-of-body experience.

You just want to hug every single person that you see running alongside you.

When I looked around, there were so many smiling faces, young and old, teams, groups, schools, and volunteers, and it was so uplifting, knowing that you’re all there for the same reason. While I was running, a teenage boy put his hand out to give me a “high-five” just because, and I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. My sister knew some of the volunteers and it made me so proud of all the kids, who inspired us and cheered us on along the way.

I may stink at running, and my legs almost fell off my body, but I can honestly say that experience was one of the best days ever.

And to all my doubters, there were no paddy wagons carting me to the finish line, I got there all on my own. We have an amazing community and it was a huge honor to be a part of something so special.

May God bless the families of Amber Dubois and Chelsea King, and I hope to see you next year at Finish Chelsea’s Run, I’ll be there with sunflowers in my hair.

What say you? Email me at www.randiccrawford@ gmail.com.

Alison Stanley of the League of Humane Voters addressed fairgrounds general manager Tim Fennell. “You cannot have safety and security as a No. 1 priority and continue to have elephant rides. It’s not possible.”

Board member Watson reminded speakers of the panel’s vote – in 2011 - to revisit the issue of the elephant rides after the upcoming 2014 fair. The timing is related to new guidelines from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, taking effect this year, that advise trainers and handlers to avoid direct contact with elephants and instead work with them from behind barriers.

A Republican from San Bernardino County, he was elected to the California Legislature in 2010 to represent the 33rd Assembly District.

This event, from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m., will provide the opportunity to learn more about Donnelly, his record and the direction he would like to take the state.

â&#x20AC;˘Newsom faces re-election challenge in November The Rancho Santa Fe Democratic club announced recently it will host Gavin Newsom, Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 49th Lieutenant Governor, on Thursday April 3 at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club for a 6:30 p.m. reception; 7 p.m .presentation followed by a question and answer session.

Newsom started more than a dozen businesses prior to entering politics as appointee to San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parking and Traffic Commission in 1996. He was subsequently elected to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Supervisors where he served until he was elected San Francisco Mayor in 2003. In 2004 he made national headlines when he defied state law by granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He served two terms as San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor, helping cast the city as a hub for biotech and clean energy. He also established a universal healthcare program (years before President Obama did), as well as paid family leave and universal childcare.

In 2010 he was elected Lieutenant Governor where he has endorsed full-scale legalization of marijuana and recently broke with the Democratic Party in calling for redirecting funds for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned high-speed rail to other programs.

No matter where we were and no matter what presented itself to us, she just saw the goodness in everything.”

Two days after returning from their threeweek trip, the pair began planning their next adventure. In 2008, they traveled to Italy, followed by a trip to Spain in 2011.

Last summer, they visited Amsterdam and returned to Paris.

Jennifer Coburn with her daughter, Katie.

Courtesy photo “We’re so busy. We had soccer practice, then there’s homework. There’s such a treadmill of our suburban middle class existence,” said Coburn, who has published four novels and is a contributing author to four anthologies.

“This has really forced us to leave our environment and be somewhere new and depend on just each other for everything.”

“We have such hectic lives at home,” added Katie, a junior at Patrick Henry High School. “We get along very well at home, and we love each other, of course, but we don’t really get to spend as much time as we’d like just together. The trips allowed us to just be with each other

24/7.”

While the book is centered on Coburn and her daughter’s trips to Europe, the memoir also references Coburn’s childhood in New York and shares memories of her father, Shelly Coburn. In his honor, she is donating the royalties from the book’s first 1,000 preorders to the American Cancer Society.

The mother-daughter duo hopes the book encourages readers to venture out into the world and make their own memories.

“If they want to travel but they are waiting for the right time, I hope that they will just say, ‘I’m going to find a way to do this. If she can do it, I can do it,’” Coburn said.

Traveling is doable, but you have to make sacrifices, Coburn noted. They used their frequent flier miles and brought big packs of granola bars.

“We had to choose between experiences or stuff.

By Kristina Houck Jennifer Coburn was just 19 when her father died from lung cancer. He was 49 years old.

“I’m sad that he missed this part of my life,” said Coburn, a San Diego-based author, mother and wife. “I would have liked to have had more memories with him. I would have liked to have traveled with him.”

With a fear of also dying young, Coburn has always been determined to make lasting memories with her 16-year-old daughter, Katie. Set for release on April 8, “We’ll Always Have Paris” chronicles the pair’s four trips to Europe.

“I’ve always been nervous of dying young and I’m getting around that age where my father died,” said Coburn, 47. “If I go young, I really just want to cram her mental photo album with lots of memories.”

Leaving dad at home, the mother-daughter duo embarked on their first trip to Paris and London in 2005.

“I was terrified because she was just 8 years old,” Coburn recalled. “I remember landing and thinking, ‘What have I done?’”

One of Katie’s favorite memories stems from this trip.

She and her mother had slept overnight at Shakespeare and Company Bookshop in Paris.

“There were cots all over the place,” Katie recalled.

“You can stay the night for free if you work a couple shifts or you’re an author.”

The pair stayed in the “Writer’s Suite,” what they described as a small room with bugs in the sink and an old box of Ritz Crackers on the floor. Katie’s bed was a table with a yoga mat as a mattress. Her mother “slept” on a door, which was on top of a set of file cabinets.

“But she loved it,” Coburn said. “That was the thing that I really admired about Katie through all of the trips.

Pacific Ridge students and faculty perform the Pata Pata.

Pacific Ridge School breaks world record while breaking ground Pacific Ridge School broke a Guiness World Records record on Feb. 28 when 504 students and faculty performed the world’s largest African dance during a groundbreaking celebration for a new middle school building and arts center.

The record-breaking attempt speaks to one of the independent school’s core mission elements – global engagement. During 7th grade music class, Pacific Ridge students learn the “Pata Pata” – a South African song and dance made famous by songstress Miriam Makeba – as part of an Arts curriculum that encourages students to become aware of their roles as members of a global community. Pacific Ridge’s global engagement program is built into the curriculum and includes a global travel program available to all students at the end of each school year.

The groundbreaking event marks the beginning of the school’s next phase of campus development, supported by Breaking Through, a $25 million dollar campaign. The campus expansion includes a new middle school building and arts center that will provide students ample space to learn, create, and collaborate. The new middle school will feature state-of-the-art science labs, seminar-style classrooms, a reading room and a town center space for middle school gatherings. The new arts facilities will boast 2D and 3D visual arts studios, a technology design center and a community hall, as well as studios and practice rooms for music, dance, and theater arts.

“Today’s event exemplified the spirit of togetherness and enthusiasm that we have come to expect from the Pacific Ridge community,” said Head of School Dr. Bob Ogle.

“We’re launching our Breaking Through Campaign with that same spirit, and look forward to growing our campus.”

Doors to the new 29,691 sq. ft. middle school building and 23,589 sq. ft. arts building are expected to open in Spring 2015.

Since its opening in 2007, Pacific Ridge School has experienced a dynamic expansion of campus facilities on par with the steady and robust increase in its student population.

A full-size turf athletic field was installed in 2009, an energy-efficient high school building was opened in 2010 and a state-of-the-art 35,236 sq. ft. Athletic Center followed in 2011.

By Antoinette Kuritz and Jared Kuritz One of the few people in the world to play two flutes at once, David Young’s music is considered some of the most beautiful in the world. With the ability to heal and engender balance, it is used in wellness centers, spas, hospitals, and alternative healing facilities throughout the world. With more than one million copies of his CDs sold, Young is a Grammy nominee who received a standing ovation from Sir Paul McCartney. But it is his at first reluctant channeling of George Harrison that has truly set Young apart. Young recently sat down with us to discuss his music, his relationship with George Harrison, and his March 29 event at Seaside Center for Spiritual Living in Encinitas, Calif.

When did you first become interested in music?

I started in third grade. Everyone learned to play the recorder in third grade. I wasn’t very good at it, but I just kept on working at it. Then we were given another shot at it in fourth grade – a bit of a miracle. And by the fourth grade ended I was really good at it. I am a reminder of why music programs are so important in schools.

What made you stick with it?

I listened to the radio a lot, and the radio would play the same songs over and over again. I found myself playing by ear, and playing by ear it is playing from the heart.

And it just felt good.

What generated your interest?

I started playing name that tune on the school bus – and the kids couldn’t stump me and it was fun. So I kept on playing.

When did the idea of playing two recorders at once hit you, and how did you become so gifted at the art of playing them?

Well, I really didn’t attempt this until I was an adult.

And it came about because I was playing at Venice Beach

David Young

with a woman who limitedly played the harp – a six-song repertoire. To break up the monotony, I tried playing two flutes, and it became a challenge and then my unique trademark.

What unique quality do recorders bring to music?

When you play two at once, it creates a tri-harmonic tone in which a third note actually occurs which sounds like a buzz, adding extra vibration to the music and thus affecting us more deeply.

Rather than pop or rock or soul, or any of the genres that produce superstars, you chose healing music as your mainstay. What led you in this direction?

Once I started playing two flutes at one time the music just started taking off, and it was such a powerful visual as well as a beautiful audio sound, I started getting hired to do events (Barbra Streisand, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Taylor). It was the early ‘90s and spiritual music was just starting to take off. This music came so naturally to me – I had been meditating for 20 years – and once I realized the impact of the music, it became my genre.

There is no doubt that music has an incredible impact on us. How would you describe the energy behind your music? What effect do you hope it has?

From what I’ve been told, many people have had healings and out-of-body experiences with my music. I think perhaps it is my background in meditation that facilitated this – the energy I have developed through years of spiritual searching. I hope that my music opens the doors in people’s minds to the spiritual possibilities.

Who are the two musicians who most influenced you and why?

Andreas Vollenweider who plays the electric harp showed me that you could make music that was spiritual and uplifting and have it be interesting. And when I was a kid, Jethro Tull because he was the craziest, most high-energy flute player ever.

For the past few years you have been channeling George Harrison – yes, the George Harrison. What was your first response when you realized it was George coming through?

I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t know why he chose me. I wasn’t a big Beatles fan, I didn’t believe in channeling. And I was afraid of just the idea of ghosts. Now I do believe in channeling, I am no longer afraid of ghosts. And I have a far-greater appreciation for the Beatles.

Why do you think he chose you?

A lot of reasons. Because he has great taste in music! But actually, he has explained See AUTHOR, page B11

Santa Fe Christian students ranked among top students Cathedral Catholic student Jenna Nastrini worldwide in mathematics problem solving to receive Soroptimist award for service Santa Fe Christian students, Bryce Aggasid and Luke Vandertie, scored in the top 5 percent of all students worldwide in the American Mathematics Competition. The American Mathematics Competition is a worldwide math exam taken by approximately 200,000 of the world’s best math students and is designed to identify students with exceptional math talent. The two students also received a $1,000 SFC scholarship for their top scores.

In addition to the AMC, Santa Fe Christian Schools’ Math Team competes in many top national and state math competitions each year. Kelly Hoffman, SFC senior, was one of only 500 girls in the nation invited to compete in the “Math Prizes for Girls” at MIT. The team also competes in the Cal

Bryce Aggasid and Luke Vandertie Tech Harvey Mudd Math Competition, Mandelbrot Math Competition, UCSD Honors Math Competition and the California Math League, where the SFC Math Team ranked number one of all California religious affiliated schools in

2013.

The 2014 Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award will be presented to Jenna Nastrini, a senior at Cathedral Catholic High School, at Soroptimist International of La Jolla’s annual luncheon, Saturday, April 5, 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Roetter Hall in Good Samaritan Episcopal Church, 4321 Eastgate Mall.

Author Mimi Kirk will be the keynote speaker, addressing “Timeless Beauty from the Inside Out.” Named after the president of the first Soroptimist club, the Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award honors girls who are making a difference through volunteer service.

During her high school years, Nastrini has been involved with Build A Miracle, a non-profit organization based in Scripps Ranch, which has built more than 170 homes for needy families in Tijuana, (buildamiracle.net).

She is also captain of Cathedral Catholic’s varsity dance team and is involved in the school’s Campus Ministry program.

In 2013, she singlehandedly raised more than $14,000 to build and furnish a three-bedroom home for the Vasquez family of seven, who were living in a one-room makeshift shack with a dirt floor and no doors, warm water or plumbing. Nastrini started the fund with $1,000 she earned by giving dance lessons to young girls. She then received 60 donations from family, teachers, neighbors, coaches and classmates.

“Thanks to the kindness and support of so many people who were eager to help, one family’s wildest dream became a reality,” she said. “This was the most meaningful experience of my life.”

Jenna Nastrini Luncheon tickets, $50, are available by calling Judy at (619) 980-5517 or visiting www.soroptimistlj.org Proceeds will go to charitable organizations that aid women and girls.

RSF Garden Club creates ‘Petals for Patriots’ The Horticultural Committee of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club has been participating in a county-wide program called Petals for Patriots. For the past four years the club has been assigned two months each year when the Horticulture Ladies are responsible for putting together several large floral bouquets for display in the hospital at Camp Pendleton.

The beautiful, colorful, fresh flowers enhance the common areas of the hospital where wounded and sick military men and women are being treated. In addition to the flowers, the group also provides large baskets filled with fresh fruits, bananas, citrus, apples and other seasonal produce. The fresh fruit gets taken very quickly, the flowers help to “dress up” the hospital setting while reminding the patients that there is still beauty in the world and, most of all, that they are thought of by grateful Americans.

Other garden clubs in the San Diego North County provide the flowers at Camp Pendleton the remaining months of the year while garden clubs in South San Diego participate in Petals for Patriots for the Naval Hospital at Balboa Park.

This year the Garden Club is responsible for March and April. It is a privilege and honor to do this effortless task for those who have done so much. — Ginger Bord

By Kristina Houck About nine years after first opening in the Rancho Santa Fe Plaza, Mister B boutique is being revamped. The store, which currently carries a variety of men’s clothing lines, will exclusively carry Robert Graham starting in April.

“It’s going to be great,” said owner Maggie Bobileff.

“We’ll be the biggest Robert Graham collection in the area.”

After owning a boutique in her native Switzerland, Bobileff opened Mister B in Rancho Santa Fe Plaza. The success of Mister B led to Maggie B, a women’s boutique, which opened three years later. In July, the Rancho Santa Fe resident opened two new locations in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade.

The launch of her newest Mister B and Maggie B locations, which offer a variety of men and women’s apparel and accessories, led to the revamp of her oldest store.

“After I opened up an-

other store in the Flower Hill Mall, it was just confusing for the customers,” she said. “And Robert Graham is just an amazing brand.”

The Rancho Santa Fe Plaza locations will drop the Maggie B name and keep the Mister B name, but Bobileff might add something more to the name of the store, she said.

“I’m very excited,” Bobileff said. “It’s going to be very nice.”

All current stock is on sale to make room for the new merchandise.

Mister B is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.

For more information about Mister B, call 858-7565099 or visit misterbclothing.com.

George, I was always a bit lonely, and now that he is with me, an invisible friend who acts in essence as producer manager – someone who loves me as a brother and who I love back – I am no longer lonesome.

What has knowing unequivocally that there is another plane, that there is life beyond this, brought to your life? How has it influenced you?

It changes the whole program. Knowing that life is an ongoing experience, that when the physical stops life still continues, gives you a greater sense of responsibility and of joy.

How do you think this kind of knowledge influences lives in general?

I thing it gives people hope and a greater sense of purpose.

As a musician, as an artist, how are you evolving?

I’m learning more

about the beauty of simplicity. And this simplicity is bringing greater poignancy to my music.

What’s next from you…and George?

We’re sharing love, peace, and greater understanding through our music, and we’re changing the way people look at life after death, so they think about it more as life after life. And he is using me as an example that everyone can connect with loved ones who have left this plane. This experience has shown the world what amazing things can happen.

continued from page B5 to me that we have had many past lives together.

We both started out as rock and roll guitar players and ended up getting into spiritual music as we got older. We both dedicated our lives to sharing peace, love and understanding through our music.

In what ways has George directly influenced your music?

Well, we write music together, and when I’m recording in the studio, it’s like we are recording together – and we both love the same kind of spiritually uplifting music so it is like we are working toward the same goal. And he has really helped my lyrics.

In what ways has he influenced your life?

He’s turned my life upside down.

By Rob LeDonne Disney’s Wild World of Sports is an immense athletic complex located within the famed Walt Disney World Resort and, along with the usual cast of animated characters, today it’s home to the Notre Dame softball team. The team members are at Disney’s practice facilities preparing for a pair of games against the University of Central Florida and Florida International University, which happens to be smack in the middle of their season.

“Our season isn’t officially done until the end of April, but we don’t exactly know when we’ll finish playing,” said pitcher Rachel Nasland of RSF. “We started out the season very strong this year compared to previous years, so we’re hoping we can continue to keep our record up and go very far.”

One of the main reasons the Notre Dame team could go all the way this year may be because of Nasland herself. A 2013 graduate of Torrey Pines High School, she was a standout on the school’s softball team when they won back-to-back CIF championships (a first for the softball team), and Nasland personally received the honor of being named the 2013 All-San Diego Softball Player of the Year — among a variety of other accolades.

“That was a nice way to close that chapter of my life,” explains Nasland while walking back to her team bus after practice in the southern Florida humidity. “I still miss playing in high school; it was a fun time in my life.”

Fun is probably an understatement: Torrey Pines softball was so successful, it was widely considered to be the best in the country.

Nasland’s passion and expertise for softball stretches back to when she was only 6 years old. “My mom kind of played softball when she was younger, so when I was really little I signed up like any kid.” Within a year, she decided to become a pitcher — a decision that rested on

Rachel Nasland Photo/Steven Robitaille the responsibility of the position. “I loved being on the mound and being a big part of every play.”

As the years went by, Nasland discovered she had a knack for pitching and continued to pursue the sport well into middle school, and then high school.

“It’s a huge transition between playing middle and high school softball,” Nasland says. “You start playing opponents who are older than you, and I definitely had to fight for

my position on the mound. It was definitely a bigger jump.”

At around that time, Nasland also started to get more serious concerning various outlying aspects of her game, including her diet, workout routines, and generally putting “much more time into pitching and practicing. I was definitely preparing for playing at the college level early on.”

While on the winning Torrey Pines team coached by Jon Moore, Nasland chose to attend Notre Dame in the February of her sophomore year — almost three years before throwing her first pitch at the school’s campus in South Bend, Indiana.

The school has a rich athletic history, and while its football team may be the school’s claim to fame, Notre Dame’s softball team is chock full of the best players in the U.S.

and is considered one of the best of its kind.

“They were the first coaches I spoke to and the first school I ever visited,” Nasland explained. “I loved that Notre Dame had both great academic and athletic programs. When I first got the offer to join the team, I called my sister Alexa (another former TPHS softball player) and she started crying she was so excited. My whole family was so excited; there were lot of tears.”

Nasland’s not sure how long the current season will go, but from all accounts the team is in the right hands.

Said Nasland, summing up her passion for the game: “My first time pitching at the mound just at practice felt like everything I ever wanted and worked for was finally paying off.”

SPRINKLERS!

DID YOU KNOW? It is said that, in 1941 the Ford motor company produced an experimental automobile with a plastic body composed of 70% cellulose fibers from hemp. The car body could absorb blows 10 times as great as steel without denting. The car was designed to run on hemp fuel. Because of the ban on both hemp and alcohol, the car was never mass produced.

Willis Allen Real Estate, the local brokerage that is celebrating 100 years of service in San Diego, recently announced that it is helping bring WoMen in Relocation, a New York City-based national organization of relocation professionals, to the West Coast.

Willis Allen’s Ashley McEvers, business development manager, will lead the endeavor. WoMen in Relocation was founded by Silvana Malpelli, executive director at Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales in New York City. It supports individuals and small communities in need of housing assistance. In the past WoMen in Relocation has assisted groups in the Northeast, such as The Bridge Fund of Westchester, Shelter our Sisters and Homes for our Troops.

WoMen in Relocation has members from as far away as Germany. With this expansion the group hopes to help even more small organizations that need housing assistance on the West Coast.

“We are delighted to support the efforts of WoMen in Relocation. It is inspiring to see relocation specialists work together to support their local communities,” said Hall F. Willkie, president of Brown Harris Stevens.

Willis Allen’s President and Owner Andrew E. Nelson says his company has a long history of helping those in need. “Community service is one of the trademarks of the Willis Allen brand,” says Nelson. “Each year our agents give hundreds of hours to charities that mean the most to them – from Wounded Warriors to Special Olympics and many more. As a company we support a number of worthy causes, including the Arbor Day Foundation, Rady Children’s Hospital and Meals on Wheels, just to name a
