First choice for all in San Dieguito district’s high school enrollment lottery Projected enrollment uses a formula that takes into account some level of attrition, Grove said: Some accepted students may never register, and some may register and not show up. CCA also saw 44 new students accepted into 10th grade, 47 into 11th grade and 21 joined the senior class. San Dieguito is projected to have an enrollment of 1,897 with a freshman class of 535. A total of 601 new enrollees were accepted into ninth grade, and classes grew at all grade levels: 43 students were added to 10th grade, 56 new students in 11th grade and 23 into the 12th grade. Torrey Pines High will have a projected enrollment of 2,606. The district enrolled 495 new students to the freshman class and is projecting to start the school year with a freshman class of 623.

Stump’s Market to move after 21 years in RSF village, according to landlord

BY JOE TASH For the second year in a row, directors of the Santa Fe Irrigation District have cut their own health benefits. On a 3-2 vote at their March 19 meeting, directors cut health benefits by $7,500 per year. Although all five members of the board are eligible for health benefits, only two opt to take them. Before Thursday’s action, the district anticipated spending about $29,000 on director medical benefits during the current fiscal year. The directors are elected to the board, which oversees a public utility district that provides drinking and irrigation water to Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. This year’s total district budget is $37.4 million, including $23.1 million for operations and $13 million for capital projects. The board took up the proposed benefit cuts at the urging of director Greg Gruzdowich, who joined the panel in 2012. Last year, the board limited directors to health coverage for themselves and one dependent; previously they had been eligible for coverage for their entire family. Thursday’s action was to cut benefits to coverage for only the director, with reimbursement

BY KAREN BILLING Stump’s Village Market will leave Rancho Santa Fe by the end of 2015. According to Susan Woolley, who owns Plaza de Santa Fe, which houses the 10,000-square-foot market, Stump’s move will mark the end of a 21-year run in the village. “We all wish the Stump’s family well in their new endeavor,” Woolley said. The move comes after years of legal battles between the market and the landlord. The first lawsuit concluded in 2010 and according to Mark Mulkerin, the attorney for Stump’s, it was “overwhelmingly” in favor of the market. A second lawsuit began about five years ago. Mulkerin said that Stump’s Market did not feel any issues were left open, but the landlord had different views. Franco Simone, the attorney for Plaza de Santa Fe, said the second lawsuit has been settled. A major area of contention in the lawsuit was over who was responsible

for common-area maintenance. “There’s no chance that they can stay,” Simone said. “They agreed to move out by the end of the year because we bought out their lease.” Mulkerin has not stated that the market will move or when that move could occur. He said they will know more in April, and from there they will be able to dictate their next steps. “We’re waiting to see if the landlord will perform under the terms of the settlement,” Mulkerin said. “At this juncture, we’re in a holding pattern.” See MARKET, page 28

March 26, 2015

BY KAREN BILLING All ninth- through 12th-grade students were accepted into their first-choice schools of Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito High School Academy last week. Michael Grove, assistant superintendent of educational services, said the district was thrilled to be able to accept all students this year. He reported at the March 19 board meeting that room was found primarily through the hard work of site administrators, who worked to expand capacity by using every space they could on campuses and by reviewing master schedules. Canyon Crest Academy will have a projected enrollment of 2,329 in the fall. The school has an enrollment of 1,900 after starting the year with just under 2,000. A total of 857 new students were accepted into the freshman class, and it is projected to start the school year with 729 students.

The board will choose the firm for the project at its April 2 meeting. • Focus groups have been held and communitywide Town Hall meetings will be held on April 16. Finally, I want to address some more challenging news. As some of you might have heard, and all of you need to know, in the course of conducting a full operational review of the accounting department and while instituting full accrual accounting for our financial statements, our outside accountants discovered an internal reporting error. According to the accountants, both restricted reserves and “free reserves” for all the entities within the Association (General Services, Golf Club, Tennis Club and Osuna Ranch) appear to have been miscalculated by approximately $1,600,000. At the moment, the

Nor do we know exactly how each entity’s fund balances will be impacted. I assure you, however, that every single member of your Association board is committed to transparency and accountability. You are all most welcome to attend our April 2 Open Session board meeting. Ann.boon@me.com

Man attempts to abduct girl near Solana Beach school On Monday, March 23, at approximately 3:25 p.m., during student dismissal at Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach, a man came on campus and attempted to abduct a 7-year-old female student. The child is safe and was not harmed. School staff members and parents witnessed the incident and responded quickly. The man ran to his vehicle and fled. He was reported to be Caucasian, 45 years old, 6’ tall, brown hair, scruffy chin stubble, carrying a baseball equipment bag and wearing a baseball jersey driving a black and silver Ford SUV. If you have any information about the suspect, please call the Solana Beach Sheriff’s Department at 858-565-5200 or if you see a person matching this description, please call 911 and provide the description of the suspect, time and the location of the sighting.

outside accountants have assured us that this appears to be the result of poor internal reporting practices over the years (the reason for our audit in the first place), not because of any malfeasance. The outside accountants are preparing a detailed report showing the balances for each entity, which they will present to the Finance Committee this week. The Finance Committee will then make recommendations to the RSF Association board. The RSF Association board will discuss the issue at our April 2 meet-

San Dieguito district hears from bus riders San Dieguito district delays taking on plan to eliminate school transportation position on bill to end vaccine exemptions BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District is gathering feedback on a proposal to eliminate middle school transportation and high school shuttles because of cost concerns and decreasing ridership. A survey went out to parents last week as the district considers re-deploying the fleet and drivers to support athletic field trips. At the board’s March 19 meeting, parent Marybeth Norgren and her son spoke during public comment about the district’s plan to end bus service for middle schoolers. “The lack of middle school bus service will make getting to work on time impossible,” Norgren said. “It’s disheartening that the district would choose to care more about transporting athletes than getting middle school students to their regular school day.” Norgren lives in Del Mar Heights and has a seventh-grader at Earl Warren and a freshman at Canyon Crest Academy. She said while her children’s schools are eight minutes apart, that represents about 30 minutes of travel time in the morning. Norgren said there is no public transit in the area and biking is not an option for students who live more than a mile from the middle schools, as the main thoroughfares are not bike-friendly — especially Lomas Santa Fe and Via de la Valle. Norgren’s son, James Cederstav, wondered how he would travel the 4 1/2 miles between his house and his school if there is no bus. “I’m in the Earl Warren band and I wouldn’t be able to take my instrument,” he said. “And I’m more likely to be late if I took my bike or rode with my parents.” Norgren requested the district consider

offering families the ability to pay a greater share or to consolidate multiple routes within neighborhoods. Bus ridership has been declining at district schools for the past few years, peaking in 2010-11 with 1,307 rider. But for 2015-16, it is projected to be at 696 district-wide. At Carmel Valley Middle School, ridership is expected to decline from 300 in 2014-15 to 247 for 2015-16. Earl Warren is expected to drop from 224 this year to 187 in the fall. There are 67 riders at Diegueno and 195 at Oak Crest. The district’s fleet of 22 buses is aging, and updating it would cost the general fund $3 million over the next five years. Athletic transportation is also supported by the general fund, and the district’s 4,000 student athletes take more than 1,700 athletic trips a year. School foundations cover roughly half the cost of athletic field trip transportation, and while athletic transportation donations have increased, the service is still heavily supported by the general fund. In 2014-15, $315,000 came out of the general fund and $325,000 from the foundation to cover costs. Associate Superintendent of Business Services Eric Dill said that the district has already received well over 2,000 responses from the transportation survey. Dill said many comments and varied opinions were expressed that will be helpful in decisionmaking. Dill said the district is also continuing to track Senate Bill 191 from Sen. Marty Block, which provides additional transportation funding for schools.

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board held off on throwing its “symbolic support” behind Senate Bill 277, which would eliminate the ability for parents to exempt their children from receiving immunizations based on “personal belief.” The board decided not to take action on a resolution after concerns expressed by a number of parents at its March 19 meeting. A group of parents objecting to the board’s support of the bill came to the meeting at Carmel Valley Middle School holding signs that read “No 277.” Eight parents spoke against the bill, including Canyon Crest Academy science teacher Ariel Haas and Carmel Valley resident Brian Stenzler, the president of the Cal-

ifornia Chiropractic Association, which has come out strongly against SB277. “While vaccines serve a purpose, they do not come without a risk,” Stenzler said. “We can’t say if there’s a risk, there’s not a choice.” Haas said taking away a parent’s right to make a choice would be a violation of religious freedom. “To me it’s not about pro or anti-vaccinations, but about a parent’s choice to make a medical decision regarding their children,” Haas said. After hearing from the parents, the board decided it would wait before supporting the bill, as many said they had not read it in its entirety. “I’ve heard a lot that gives me pause See VACCINE, page 29

District gives OK to second round of Prop AA bonds for school improvements BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District has adopted a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of its second series of Prop AA bonds, not to exceed $125 million. The vote at the March 19 district board meeting was 4-1, with board member Mo Muir voting against it because she did not agree with the bonds’ structure. The negotiated sale is similar in structure to the district’s first issuance of bonds. The funds will be used for construction and modernization of several school facilities across the district. Projects funded through Series B include the interim housing and reconstruction of the Earl Warren campus, remodel of the media center at Oak Crest, design of a two-story classroom building at Pacific Trails, HVAC and building remodel at La Costa Canyon, building See BONDS, page 29

Legendary conductor prompts students to see the world’s possibilities BY LOIS ALTER MARK “I want to tell you about two different worlds,” said Benjamin Zander to the students of Pacific Ridge School recently. “The first is a very familiar world I’ll call Downward Spiral, and it’s filled with worry, anxiety and pressure. The second is called Radiating Possibility, and it’s all about hope and dreams.” As the entire student body sat rapt, Zander flew around the room to make sure each of the 500 kids fully absorbed what he said next: “Every single moment for the rest of your life, you’re going to have to choose which world to speak from. Which one are you going to choose?” It’s obvious which one Zander chooses. At 76, the legendary conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra is the epitome of possibility. It’s why his book, the aptly named “The Art of Possibility,” has resonated Benjamin Zander was a with so many readers. “Possibility is not the same as positive thinking, which is guest speaker at Pacific basically just saying things are great when they’re not,” he Ridge School. explained. It’s creating something out of nothing, as his father did, starting a university in the English internment camp in which he was held after his family was killed in Auschwitz during World War II. To demonstrate his philosophy further, Zander shared the story of two shoe salesmen who went to Africa. One wrote back, “Situation hopeless. They don’t wear shoes.” The other wrote, “Glorious opportunity! They don’t wear shoes yet!” Zander encouraged the seventh- through 12th-graders to always think outside the box and ask themselves, “What assumption am I making that I don’t know I’m making?” To prepare them for those times when their efforts fail, he showed them how to celebrate their mistakes by lifting their arms in the air and, with a big smile, asserting loudly, “How fascinating!” He had the kids on their feet, laughing and practicing the move — and starting to believe the sentiment. He also had them starting to believe in the power of classical music. Zander treated the audience to pieces by Chopin and Mozart on a Steinway grand piano brought in for the occasion, and, after standing ovations, thanked the kids for paying such close attention. “It was a great gift that you listened so quietly,” he told them appreciatively. Because Zander is, after all, best known for his conducting, the three-time Grammy

nominee invited student cellist Joon-ha Bae onstage for a one-on-one master class. He led the junior through a series of exercises designed to push him to be his best, cheering him on all the way and proving to be the antithesis of the abusive music teacher portrayed by Academy Award-winner J.K. Simmons in the recent movie “Whiplash.” Zander suggested Bae look directly at audience members while he plays and imagine their faces when he practices. “The audience is rooting for you to succeed,” he said. “Because of deep love, we are courageous.” “I was nervous at first,” admitted Bae. “But as the performance went on, I felt more relaxed, and had a lot of fun. It was Zander encouraged student cellist Joon-ha an experience I’ll never forget.” Bae in a one-on-one master class. That seemed to be the general consensus among the students, who found themselves completely caught up in Zander’s enthusiasm and energy. Dozens of them stayed after the presentation to talk to him, ask questions — and for autographs — and to just get a hug. The man is a hugger! The students met in advisory groups afterwards to discuss Zander’s philosophy and how to approach school and social relationships with an eye toward the two worlds he discussed. “Benjamin Zander’s message fits very well at Pacific Ridge,” said Dr. Bob Ogle, Head of School. “We encourage our students to see possibility, to look for growth and to explore the many ways they can contribute. Hearing that message again from someone as accomplished and charismatic as Mr. Zander was inspiring.” Zander’s presentation was part of Community Life, Pacific Ridge’s weekly program designed to bring in speakers and activities that relate to the school’s concepts of ethical responsibility, global engagement and purposeful life. The recipient of a United Nations Caring Citizen of the Humanities Award, he was a fitting choice. And if, as Zander believes, success is measured in the number of shining eyes you can inspire, his presentation was definitely a triumph.

Scientist’s words resonate with TPHS students: Listen to, support each other BY LOIS ALTER MARK It says a lot about a school when its students gather around a scientist to sing his praises and eagerly ask questions as though he were a rock star. That’s what happened at Torrey Pines High School last week after Bradley Voytek, assistant professor of computational cognitive science and neuroscience at

Bradley Voytek and Don Collins at the assembly. UCSD, spoke to more than 2,000 students about stress

and the brain. His presentation was part of Torrey Pines’ Yellow Ribbon Week, the school’s annual campaign to raise awareness about suicide prevention and eliminate the stigma of mental illness. Led by Teacher of the Year Don Collins, the weeklong event featured more than 500 posters hung around campus, all highlighting 1-800-273-TALK, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. “By the end of Yellow Ribbon Week, there’s not a kid out of 3,000 who hasn’t seen the posters, heard the message and learned that help is available,” said Collins. “I hope they see the solution to troubled times is to reach out for support, not to end your life.” That message of support was the focus of both Voytek’s speech and Collins’ introduction. “The purpose of this week is to remind you it’s OK to ask for help,” Collins

told the packed gym. After pointing out that “you can be the deciding factor in someone’s life,” he asked each student to turn to the person next to them, look them in the eye and say, “I care about you.” Collins shared some shocking statistics: More than 5,000 junior high, high school and college students commit suicide every year, and a staggering 500,000 seriously consider it. More kids kill themselves than die in car accidents, and the number continues to grow every year. “Last week at San Dieguito Academy, a 14-yearold ninth-grader committed suicide,” Collins said. “I want this week to honor him.” He then introduced Voytek, who was back by popular demand after speaking at the school in December. Voytek started out by acknowledging the students’ stress level — which was met by a lot of nodding and nervous laughter — and shared his own story of walking away from a highlevel position at Uber in 2011 when it was a $20 million company on its way to

Your body responds unconsciously, often resulting in physical symptoms and full-fledged anxiety. He talked about a fascinating Stanford University study in which students were divided into two groups. One was

given a two-digit number to remember, the other was given a seven-digit number. The subjects were then asked to walk down a hall, where they were offered two snack options — a bowl of fruit salad or a slice of chocolate cake. Those who were asked to remember the seven-digit number were twice as likely to choose the chocolate cake. “This is why obesity is on the rise,” Voytek explained. “Stress causes us to make bad decisions.” Voytek shared some cutting-edge scientific advances in stress management, including nasoduodenal fecal transplantation, which had students in stitches because it involves, as he put it in layman’s terms, “implanting a healthy person’s poop through the nose of someone suffering from anxiety.” On a more practical note, he reminded students to put down their electronic devices and spend time with their friends. “Having friends is one of the best indicators in alleviating anxiety,” he said. He also revealed that, according to a National Institute of Health study, the No. 1 factor in keeping your brain healthy for the long term is exercise. Just 10 minutes a week can make a big difference. Voytek’s most powerful message for kids, though, was that scientific studies prove it will get better. “When you talk to people 20 years after a failed suicide attempt,” he said, “the thing you hear most often is See SCIENTIST, page 24

Community Emergency Response Training set to kick off in April, apply now The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) is looking for residents interested in becoming part of its Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Applications are now being accepted for the 2015 Spring session, which begins April 8 in Encinitas. CERT is a nationally-recognized program designed to train members of neighborhoods, community organizations, and workplaces in basic disaster response skills. During natural or man-made disasters emergency personnel are often stretched thin and may be unable to help residents in a timely manner. If a disastrous event overwhelms or delays the community’s professional emergency crews, CERT members may be called on to assist their own families as well as their neighbors by applying their skills learned in training. This CERT class is broken up into five sessions as well as sections that are web-based and can be completed at home. Topics include disaster preparedness, disaster medical operations, fire safety and extinguishment, CERT organization, terrorism, disaster psychology and light search and rescue. The complete schedule is as follows: Wednesday, April 8, 6:30 – 9 p.m. : Orientation and Disaster Preparedness Saturday, April 11, 9: a.m. – 2 p.m.: Fire Safety and Cribbing Wednesday, April 15, 6:30 – 9 p.m.: CERT Organization, Disaster Psychology, and Terrorism Saturday, April 18, 9: a.m. – 2 p.m.: Medical Part 1 and 2 and Search and Rescue Saturday, April 25, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.: Final Drill Sessions will be held in Encinitas, Solana Beach, and 4S Ranch.

Earl Warren student wins county spelling bee, will represent area on national stage BY MAUREEN MAGEE SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW Oona Flood’s pink hair and animated victory dances made her a crowd favorite at the 46th U-T San Diego Countywide Spelling Bee on March 19. Her ability to outlast 102 competitors and correctly spell “fuliginous” made her the spelling bee champion. “I studied a lot, and I’m just really into spelling,” said Oona, an eighth-grader at Earl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach. “I’m excited. I’m also a little apprehensive because I have a lot ahead of me.” O o n a was awarded a trophy, a new dictionary and an Oona Flood at a previous all-expensescompetition. paid trip for Photo by Jon Clark two to National Harbor, Md., where she will represent San Diego County in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in May. The county spelling bee is among the region’s oldest and most beloved academic

competitions, one of the few education events that remains relatively unchanged by technology. “It’s a nice reminder that even in a world where we’re all texting and tweeting, spelling is important,” said Nicole Shina, who coordinates the contest for the San Diego County Office of Education. The four-hour spelldown was held at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. Longtime Bee Master David Hay quizzed the competitors, drawing increasingly difficult words from two preapproved — and closely guarded — books of 500 words each. The contest lasted 10 rounds. It proved to be a nail-biter, as seventh- and eighthgraders spelled and misspelled words with humor, dramatic facial expressions and, at times, utter surprise. Some of the more-obscure words during the competition were “plumassier” (one who prepares or deals in ornamental plumes or feathers), “ledeburite” (the cementite-austenite eutectic structure in iron-carbon alloys or commercial cast iron) and “Malacca” (an often mottled cane obtained from an Asiatic rattan palm and used especially for walking sticks and umbrella handles). That championship word — “fuliginous” — means sooty, obscure or murky. An audience of family members and other supporters cheered and gasped with every turn of victory and defeat. The competitors took turns standing on stage in front of a microphone. They demonstrated their personal styles and techniques while spelling under pressure. Some used a finger to mock-write a word into the palm of their hand, while

Cepeda photo others stared off into space and avoided eye contact with judges and the audience. Oona’s repeated successes on the stage were marked by a fist-pump and spunky skip down the steps, sometimes punctuated with a “Yes!” “Everyone looks so serious, I decided I was going to have fun,” said Oona, who lives in Solana Beach. Her parents, Kevin Flood and Kiko Gladsjo, said they were thrilled with Oona’s performance but not entirely surprised.

“She’s always been a very exact kind of person,” Gladsjo said of her daughter. “Ever since she was a little girl, she has paid attention to details, and she has an incredible memory. She’s always felt free to correct you.” The bee culminated with six speedy rounds of back-and-forth with three other finalists: Emily Ince from Hilltop Middle School in Chula Vista, Karina Piu from Marshall Middle School in San Diego and Richelle Rimando from Ocean View Hills School in San Diego. Oona finally won when, according to the bee’s rules for final rounds, she correctly spelled two words in a row. San Diego County has a history of making a strong showing at the national level. In 2005, Anurag Kashyap, a student from Poway, won the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The local winner in 2012, Francis Parker School student Snigdha Nandipati, also captured the national championship. This year, Snigdha’s brother

Vegas comes to RSF with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Simply Sinatraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rare twin foals celebrate 5th birthday March 28 with party at Woodward Center Helen Woodward Animal Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Equine Hospital inviites the community to Sunny and Angelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5th birthday party, from noon-2 p.m. Saturday, March 28. Enjoy birthday cake and a chance to visit with Sunny, Angel and their mom, Lena. Sunny and Angel were born March 28, 2010, to their mom, Lena, a quarter horse who was having her first foal. On that cold March morning in Valley Center, twins were born. Twin births are very rare for horses, and are life threatening for all involved. Within five hours of their birth, Sunny and Angel came to the Helen Woodward Animal Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Equine Hospital to receive medical attention. Under the care of Dr. Rodrigo Vazquez and the staff, Sunny and Angel were monitored 24 hours a day. Twins have about a 1-in-15,000 chance of surviving past two weeks of age â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this is after beating the odds of even being born. Twin foals Sunny Sunny and Angel captured peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearts around the world and Angel will mark with their webcam, watched by many 24 hours a day, and a Face- their 5th birthday book page to keep followers up to date. A group of followers called March 28 at the Lenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foals fanatics was created, as was a Facebook page with that same name. These devoted followers are all friends, though many HWAC. never met each other except by social media. Some of these folks are coming to the birthday celebration from out of the country (Canada) and other states (Minnesota, Arizona, Nevada) to celebrate these miracle twin horses. There will be birthday cake for humans and horses, as well as opportunity drawings, merchandise and food for all. The center asks that in lieu of birthday gifts for the twins, please donate items on the Helen Woodward animal center wish list from Equine Hospital and therapy riding, on www.animalcenter.org. For details, call 858-756-4117, Ext. 325, or visit www.animalcenter.org. All proceeds benefit the Helen Woodward Equine Hospital.

Step 1: How to Choose What Jewelry to Keep The fine jewelry that you keep should be a mirror of your soul—one that reflects the interior design of your spirit. So before surveying your jewelry box, spend some time in quiet contemplation. Start by taking a financial and emotional inventory of where you are now in your life. Meditate on all of the things you love and why you love them. What do you still yearn for (financially & emotionally)? What in life continues to stir your passion in a positive way? Then think about what you dislike and the reasons for those feelings. After completing this personal meditation, slowly browse your fine jewelry box. While your entire collection may still be beautiful in your eyes, focus attention on your feelings. Take special note of those items which still excite you and bring a smile to your face—and which ones don’t. As you look at the jewelry from your past relationships or marriage, ask yourself what those items truly mean to you on the soul level. After a relationship has ended, an item like a diamond ring usually signifies a mixed bag of conflicting emotions: love & hate, joy & sadness, satisfaction & regret—all of which creates a dissonance that hinders our successful journey through life. Don’t let fine jewelry (or other expensive things) fetter you to the past when it is time to let go. It’s okay of course to keep mementos of old relationships to remind you of where you have been, but a photograph of a joyful moment can serve as a more vivid and useful reminder than fine jewelry. Let’s now turn our attention to your fashion-driven designer jewelry. Many professional women have a few items in their jewelry box which they view as “status” items. These are the earrings, necklaces, or bracelets that symbolize their full arrival into adulthood, successful careers, and mature relationships. Ask yourself whether these expensive accessories are still necessary to maintain your feelings of self-worth and accomplishment. Remember that life is a journey of evolution, not acquisition. Consider the wealth that is stored in your status jewelry, and whether or not you could use that money in ways that better fulfill your current dreams and aspirations. While taking inventory of the rest of your designer jewelry, remember that what you wear affects your experiences and how others experience you. Consider the style of the person you are today and the person you wish to be 5 years from now. The future “you” might include a return to past passions and interests—ones that were suppressed as you grew older. Therefore, you might decide that it’s the small, quirky, and inexpensive jewelry that you choose to keep, while the most expensive gold and diamond jewelry is placed on the sell pile.

Step 2: How to Sell the Jewelry You’ve Outgrown Step 3: How to Spend the Money From Your Jewelry Sale After selecting which jewelry to keep and which to sell, you may have second thoughts about some items. That is understandable. Selling fine jewelry with strong sentimental value is never easy. To let go of your jewelry gracefully and without regrets, you must pay respect to all of the emotions (both positive and negative) that are attached to them. Never try to side-step second thoughts by quickly selling your jewelry just to “get it over with and move on.” Your jewelry may be gone, but the emotions fettering you to your past have not. For example, quickly selling your engagement ring and wedding band after a divorce will not release you from the emotional baggage that was/ is attached to them. You must deal with everything that jewelry symbolizes and means to you before letting it go. To help this process along, pick up your jewelry and hold it for a while. Acknowledge and try to fully understand every emotion that is tied to it, especially the negative ones (otherwise those emotions will remain unresolved). If the jewelry is from a broken relationship, don’t look to assign blame or stew over regrets. Simply honor the past and all it has taught you. Then with a forgiving heart release these emotions to make way for your continued growth. Once you have paid respect to the jewelry you are planning to sell, it’s time to honor the fine jewelry you plan to keep. The best way to honor your jewelry is not by hiding it away in a box. But by displaying it in a manner where you can see it daily—this is especially true of heirloom jewelry which you may rarely (if ever) wear. Explore jewelry box alternatives like small glass cases for individual items (which can be placed on shelves), jewelry trees, and armoires. Honoring the jewelry you have kept in this manner will make it even easier to let go of the jewelry that’s now on the sell pile. When it comes to choosing a jewelry buyer and receiving a fair cash offer, the quickest rule of thumb is to work only with those buyers who have a strong reputation, are registered with the Better Business Bureau, and provide free jewelry appraisals. Contact several of these buyers for a free appraisal and cash offer. Then choose the buyer who provides you with the best offer and makes you feel the most comfortable. For more detailed advice and tips, please visit our website DiamondEstate.com, which is filled with articles on how to sell fine jewelry, diamonds, and luxury watches, as well as how to leverage these gift assets for a fast cash loan.

Once you have sold your jewelry, it’s time to decide how to spend that money in a way that will enrich your life and/or the lives of your loved ones. Every tree starts with a seed, and the money you received from selling your old jewelry is the seed money for your future prosperity—both internally and externally. We can’t enrich ourselves emotionally and spiritually while stressing over debt. So, if you have any financial problems that must be resolved quickly, do take care of those first. Once your financial house is in order, try not to make any impulse decisions. Wait a while and meditate on all the possible ways you can use your cash windfall. Taking an overdue vacation is one way that some people use the money from the sale of their fine jewelry. And that is perfectly fine. Sometimes a vacation is what we really need to rediscover ourselves and rejuvenate our spirits. But also think more deeply about the ways in which you can use this money to fulfill “the real” you. Make a list of your primary interests and passions. Think about the things that you’ve always wished to become better at or try for the first time. For example, maybe you’ve always wanted to play the piano, hire a fitness trainer, or go skydiving. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to take your children on a “helping others” holiday in the developing world. Push the boundaries of what you are doing with your life! By doing so, you’ll not only enrich yourself, but others too. If you are ready to leverage the wealth stored in your fine jewelry box, please contact Diamond Estate Jewelry Buyers for a private consultation and verbal appraisal of your items. Our jewelry appraisals are completely free of charge, with no strings attached.

Teen Volunteers in Action members aspire to leadership roles in future BY KRISTINA HOUCK From playing with children at Rady Children’s Hospital to feeding the homeless at St. Vincent de Paul Village, Teen Volunteers In Action is dedicated to making a difference in the community. “It is a rewarding experience,” said Canyon Crest Academy senior Danny Goldberg. “My parents have always taught me that when you have an opportunity to help others, you should seize that opportunity. If more kids in our community did this, it would make the world a better place.” The nonprofit develops young males into community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal development. Serving the north coastal communities, the founding San Diego1 Chapter of Teen Volunteers in Action (SD1 TVIA), has about 180 members in seventh through 12th grade. Now 18, Danny joined the organization as a seventh-grader at Carmel Valley Middle School. When he went on to high school, he took on more responsibilities, becoming a member of SD1 TVIA’s Leadership Council. The council offers high school students an opportunity to further develop their leadership and organizational skills. About a dozen students sit on the council. Council members are responsible for organizing philanthropic events, as well as communicating with members and reporting any comments, suggestions or requests to the parent-run advisement board. “We serve as a link between the members and the parents,” said Danny, who serves as chair of the council. With the board, TVIA members organize hands-on community service activities and events. The Leadership Council is represented at most events, wearing black T-shirts instead of blue like other members. Leading by example, the council encourages members to get more involved in the organization while furthering TVIA’s mission to develop community leaders. Torrey Pines High School juniors Blake Arnold, Jacob Burgess and Matt Hadley also sit on the council. Matt, whose older brother has also participated in the organization, got involved with TVIA in seventh grade to give back to the community. “I feel like I’ve been given so much already,” said 16-year-old Matt. “I was born into an affluent household. When I was 16, I got a car. So much has been given to me, so I feel like I should help out as much as I can.” For similar reasons, Jacob became a part of the Leadership Council when he was a

sophomore. Blake joined the council last summer. “With bigger responsibility comes bigger impact,” Blake, 17, said. “I’m very lucky to be able to help out the less fortunate,” added Jacob, who is also 17. “I also wanted to be a part of the Leadership Council because when you are in seventh and eighth grade, you look up to the council. You aspire to be one of the leaders at the events. Now, I’m one of those people.” Founded with one chapter in 2000 by RSF’s Franci Free and Terri Matthews, Teen Volunteers In Action has since grown to four chapters. The San Diego-based nonprofit often works with a variety of local institutions and organizations, including Helen Woodward Animal Center, Meals on Wheels, Miracle League of San Diego, North County Solutions for Change and Rady Children’s Hospital, among others. Jacob has most enjoyed working with San Diego-based Sudanese American Youth Center, a nonprofit focused on mentoring Sudanese youth. “It’s cool to go to an event where you can see the change, you can see the smiles on people’s faces,” he said. “That really makes you feel good. It lets you know you’re making a difference.” Matt’s favorite TVIA memories stem from volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul Village. “Every time, you get to meet some of the people, listen to their stories and hear their life lessons,” he said. “You get a whole different perspective on life. It gets us out of our little bubble.” Now recruiting new volunteers, SD1 TVIA recently held a meeting for prospective members at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe. TVIA accepts membership applications from teens entering seventh through 10th grade. Applications are accepted in March through April 1 for the following school year. Prospective applicants may apply to only one chapter. Chapters are not geographically bound and all serve philanthropies located throughout San Diego County. “TVIA helps you learn leadership and responsibility skills — skills you need later in life,” Blake said. “It’s been a very positive experience,” added Danny. “TVIA has really helped me develop as a person and find out about who I am, my strengths and weaknesses. It’s been a very fun journey.” For more about Teen Volunteers In Action, visit tvia.org.

Seltzer family donates $30K to CCA Foundation Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s “Catch the Wave of Giving” 2015 fundraising campaign is off to a strong start with a donation of $30,000 from the Seltzer family. The campaign, which is designed to encourage donations to the Raven’s Fund, CCA Foundation’s unrestricted giving category, is hoping to raise more than $60,000 for this coming year. The Seltzers’ gift is being used to build a baseball clubhouse. Their gift and involvement with Canyon Crest Academy is multigenerational and includes Wayne Seltzer, his son, Trent, and daughter-in-law Theresa, and grandson Trever. Trever, a senior, is a CCA baseball player. The family has a deep and long standing passion for baseball, dating to the semi-professional leagues of Colorado in the 1900s, through today as proud members of the San Diego Padres ownership group. Making their donation to the CCA baseball program through the Raven’s Fund, Wayne explained, “was in alignment with our passions — family and baseball.” Wayne discussed the motivation for the donation: “The CCA baseball program has been on a grassroots development path, primarily due to limited funding and budgeting restrictions. In contrast to most schools in the region, the team had no home field in 2014, requiring them to play all of their games on the road. In spite of this impediment, the team developed and performed very well. The new field will be ready for the 2015 season; however, there was no funding available for a clubhouse. We have felt that the clubhouse is a large part of team and program building. Providing the donation for the Clubhouse was our way of supporting not only the program, but supporting the school and the team. Knowing that this donation will support the future CCA baseball players and teams in the future provided further incentive.” While the goal of the Catch the Wave of Giving campaign is to raise general funds for the school’s Raven’s Fund, there are many opportunities to donate to one’s passion, as the Seltzer family did. Raven’s Fund donations can be designated toward Athletics, Envision, or Quest. To learn more about how your donations can benefit CCA programs, contact CCA Foundation Executive Director Joanne Couvrette at 858-350-0253, Ext. 4005, or joanne.couvretty@sduhsd.net.

BY RANDI CRAWFORD This may seem unlikely, but lately, Uber seems to be making its way into conversations I have with friends for reasons that might blow your mind. It turns out that Uber has become the new “norm” for shuffling teenagers around town. My niece hung out with a friend last summer, and one day she pulled up to her house and got out of an Uber ride. My sister had no idea that her daughter had “Uber’d” home with a friend. Apparently, that’s how she gets around when her mom can’t drive her (which begs the question, why didn’t my niece call my sister – but that’s no fun). One friend told me that she was out of town for a week ... so naturally she downloaded the Uber App onto her daughter’s iPhone, and that’s how she got to all of her after- school activities. “Hmmm,” I thought to myself, trying to remain cool, calm and collected, as if that’s something that I’d honestly consider, “that’s one way to do it.” I think it takes a pretty sophisticated and somewhat street-smart teenager to be able to rely on Uber for a week and have no problems getting around. I was impressed. When you have more than one kid, and they need to be in two different places at the same time, what’s a mother to do? It used to be that you asked a friend for help and carpooled, but in 2015, just call Uber. But this whole concept is taking on a creepy tone. This has also become the new norm: You allow your teenager to go to a party, but you also have dinner plans, so they take Uber home. Now I don’t know about you and your parenting style, but this does not sit well with me. Someone recently asked me, “Randi, what if you are out drinking with friends, wouldn’t you rather have an Uber driver take your child home?” To which I answered, “Hell, no. If my freshman is at a party, then I won’t make plans to go out drinking on that particular night because I want to be the one to bring them home.” What ever happened to that “in-between step” where you pick up your child from a party, kiss them

on the cheek and check out their condition to be sure everything is cool? That’s a huge step that kids get to bypass when you add Uber into the equation. Not to mention, the car pool is where you gather at least 90 percent of your information on what’s actually going on in your child’s life. Now that’s gone. I can (sort of) understand the need for a service during the week when you are juggling different kids who have to be in different places at the same time, and you have an impossible schedule. But having Uber drive your kid home from a party ... Really? Let me ask you this question: Whom are you going to call to complain? Uber is a technology company; it’s not a physical address where you can go and speak with someone in person about a bad experience. Its function is strictly to arrange for its customers to get from point A to point B. By the way, I have no beef with Uber or their drivers. I’ve never personally used the service, but I think that we as a society are so preoccupied with convenience that we have no problem giving up our privacy. While I love technology, it’s starting to get uncomfortable. Everyone wants what he or she wants, when they want it. This is Direct TV. Who watches live television anymore? With the touch of your finger, you can literally have someone at your physical location, within 15 minutes. An Uber driver knows where you live. They know that a cute 15-year-old girl lives at X address, and they have her cellphone number. That’s entirely too much information about my children in the hands of strangers that I’m not willing to give away for convenience. What say you? Are you an Uber parent?

About the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant Health Club and Pool Questionnaire: • As stated last year in RSF Association board presentations (http://www.rsfassociation. org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/RSFA-Health-Club-Present-Professional-Planning-10.7.14. pdf), the swim and health club would be a focal point for the community and would thereby increase the value of our property by making it attractive to young families. At meetings, when questioned, we were assured that only families who joined would pay fees and dues. There would be no general assessment. The assumption for this was 600 joining members. • Now we are asked to fill out a questionnaire that appears to make the assumption that agreement for the swim and health club is a done deal, and that we are now simply deciding on the amenities. The board seems to be asking us how we should arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic, and we haven’t set sail yet. • In addition, the promise of no general assessment seems to have fallen by the way, as there are two boxes on the questionnaire for general assessment requiring ranking 1-5, no opportunity to respond with no general assessment. The questionnaire appears biased toward general assessments for all of us. The Addario and Ashcraft letter (March 12) offers a solution to this. • The board tells us we can discuss all this in Town Hall Meetings, led by special facilitators. Who are these facilitators and why are they there? • The swim and health club will not increase the value of our property. Young families are not interested in buying 40-year-old properties that will require expensive renovations and that do not have close neighbors for their children to play with. They want properties in new developments where other young families are living. Many are two-wage-earner families, and they have more than enough to do. They do not want houses requiring high maintenance. Most of us have been there; we can empathize with their needs. • The board has apparently rethought the assumed 600 members for the swim and health club. There is no history to justify the board’s assumption of 600 members to pay for this project. This kind of assumption of new members for the golf club to justify expensive renovations did not pan out. My sense is that a well-financed few are the drivers here, and they assume that the rest of us are simply not clever enough to figure it out. The Gruber logic. Respectfully, Pat Amtower Rancho Santa Fe

how thankful they are that it didn’t work.” Voytek’s presentation resonated with the students, dozens of whom were late to lunch because they wanted to stay and talk to him afterwards. “I’ve overcome challenges myself, and Professor Voytek’s speech was really important,” said sophomore Madison Sayre. “It’s good that we’re talking about this subject.” Sophomore John Bae agreed. “I thought it was great when he said not to tell people who are suffering from anxiety to get over it, that there’s nothing to worry about. Sometimes you just have to listen to them and acknowledge their feelings.” Collins is hopeful that Voytek’s words and Yellow Ribbon Week will change students’ lives for the better. “Even if they don’t need these resources now, they may in the future,” he said. “Given the number of students struggling with despair and suffering, it’s our job to let our young people we care about them, and we want them to live their lives to the fullest. It may be stormy now, but it can’t rain forever.” Voytek is among five UC San Diego faculty members being honored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation with Sloan Research Fellowships for 2015.

Education Matters/Opinion Bond money and vaccine controversy BY MARSHA SUTTON Money talk A contract not to exceed $34,000 was approved by the Solana Beach school board March 12 for the Fairfield, Calif. firm Total School Solutions, to provide “efficiency, operational and organizational study services in the areas of business services operations,” according to the board report. Spending $34,000 to learn how to improve cost efficiency sounded counter-intuitive, but SBSD superintendent Nancy Lynch said several people have retired recently and the current structure has been in place for many years. Marsha Sutton “We haven’t really made changes in those departments since we were a much smaller district,” Lynch said in an email. “It is a good practice to look to see if there are different structures, processes, efficiencies or staffing levels to enhance the support we provide to our schools. “An external consultant can often provide a fresh perspective and has knowledge of recommended best practices from districts across the state.” Speaking of spending money, taxpayers should pay close attention as both the Solana Beach and Del Mar school districts may be preparing to place a General Obligation bond on the 2016 ballot. If approved, this would be in addition to the $449 million GO bond approved (barely) by taxpayers in 2012 for San Dieguito, which is charging property owners a maximum of $25 per $100,000 of assessed property value. General Obligation bonds require a 55 percent voter approval and are limited on what can be done with the money. GO bond money cannot be spent on teacher salaries, devices with short life spans (iPads, ChromeBooks, etc.), to backfill the general fund, or on expenditures unrelated to facility construction and renovation. Look for Solana Beach and Del Mar to present detailed facilities plans in advance of submitting bond language. And please read those plans carefully to ensure they meet the stringent requirements of the law. DMUSD’s failed attempt in 2012 to pass a GO bond did not. San Dieguito’s board authorized the issuance of its second series of bonds March 19, amounting to $117 million, not to exceed $125 million. This was approved by a vote of 4 to 1, with trustee Maureen Muir opposed. This follows the first series of bonds in the amount of $160 million, issued in April 2013. Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, called this the culmination of several years of work. He said the focus of the money will be primarily academic and “will help us meet enrollment demands.” Major projects include: $41.4 million to reconstruct the Earl Warren Middle School campus, $24.5 million to build and furnish an art, English and social science building at San Dieguito Academy, $21.2 million to renovate Building B and the front entry at Torrey Pines High School, and $11.4 million to construct and furnish another classroom building at Canyon Crest Academy to accommodate increased enrollment. Dill said the structure of the bond meets three primary conditions: it honors the commitment not to exceed a tax rate of $25 per $100,000 of property value, no capital appreciation bonds (CABs) are included, and it limits the repayment term to no more than 25 years. Dill said two factors are driving the decision on how much to issue and when: the district’s strong assessed property value and historically low interest rates. SDUHSD trustee John Salazar, who has kept a critical watch over the district’s bond program, said he was very pleased with the bond structure. “The overall payback to the taxpayer is extremely reasonable,” said Salazar, complimenting the district for not using CABs. Due to savings from the first issuance, the district has about $5 million remaining from Series A, which cost taxpayers $23.11 per $100,000 in property value. Series B is estimated to be more, but remain under the $25 cap. Series C is projected to be issued in 2018, and Series D in 2024. Bonds will be sold in $5,000 increments. However one may feel about the $449 million bond, it’s hard to criticize Dill and his staff who have worked hard to structure the bond well within both legal and ethical boundaries. Vaccine controversy Senate Bill 277 – the proposed repeal of the personal belief exemption for school immunizations – has been discussed in local school districts this past month, with mixed results. The resolution supporting the repeal was approved March 12 unanimously by the Solana Beach School District’s board of trustees, with no speakers and no dissention. The effort to support the repeal was sidelined, however, at the March 19 San Dieguito Union High School District’s board meeting, after eight speakers rose to oppose the bill. Parents with kids in tow showed up to speak in favor of the personal belief exemption (PBE), holding signs against SB 277. Parent Brian Austin said the push to repeal the PBE “smells of corporate greed” and argued about the risks of forced injections upon children. Parent Michele Rooney said the bill removes all educational options for children because it would prohibit any child from attending public, private or even home schools without the required immunizations. “Our children are being experimented on,” said Karen Lund, arguing that no state has the right to force medical procedures on its citizens. Paul Paez said all parents should have the right to choose and care for their own children in the way they best see fit. “If there’s a risk, there must be a choice,” said Brian Stenzler, president of the California Chiropractic Association. Stenzler said his organization has taken a position against the bill. “I’d rather my children get measles, I’d rather my children get chickenpox,” said Jennifer Kidd, mother of an infant, sixth-grader and eighth-grader, all present at the meeting. Ariel Haas, biology teacher in the San Dieguito district, also spoke against SB 277, saying the issue is not pro- or anti-vaccine. “It’s about choice,” Haas said, asking the board to delay the vote until trustees had more time to read the bill thoroughly and study the issue.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MARCH 26, 2015 - PAGE A25

SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt noted that a vote on the resolution was only symbolic, but four trustees were inclined to table the motion to allow more time to review the bill. Only trustee John Salazar spoke in favor of the resolution, saying students must meet certain requirements for the privilege of attending a public school. He also said the board only heard from one side. “I’m ready to vote and vote tonight,” he said, to no avail. The motion was tabled until a future meeting. Interestingly, on the SDUHSD March 5 agenda was an item updating board policy, with the heading, “Health Examinations.” It read, “All employees must obtain a tuberculosis skin test or X-ray verifying freedom from active tuberculosis prior to employment and a subsequent test once every four years while employed.” Employees are required to undergo medical procedures, on a regular basis, to ensure the safety of others … but students aren’t?

The City of Solana Beach, the Solana Beach School District and the Solana Beach Sheriff’s Department are cooperatively working together on this incident. Stranger Danger Tips: Please discuss “Stranger Danger” and safety procedures with your children. The Sheriff’s Department has given us the following suggestions to share with you: •Make sure your children are walking to and from school in a group and/or with an adult supervising. •Remind your child to never talk to strangers. If someone approaches them in any way, they should not talk to the person but immediately scream loudly and run to the school, nearest adult they know, neighbor’s house, etc. •Do not take shortcuts or different routes to or from school. Have a plan and make sure your children know you expect them to walk with friends and a certain route every day. •Report any unusual occurrences to the school office. If you see a vehicle or an individual that looks “out of place” or suspicious, write down the license number and a brief description of the car and person. The police do follow-up on this information and they need the community’s help.

OBITUARIES

Donna Lee Holcombe 1938 – 2015 Donna Lee Holcombe was a remarkable woman. She was creative and lent her artistic touch to everything she did. She was beautiful, talented, and very stylish, and was fun-loving and had a great sense of humor, delighting all who knew her. She was born May 18, 1938, in Youngstown, Ohio, and spent her early childhood in Metamora, Indiana, a town her relatives founded in the early 1800’s. Her family moved to California, where Donna attended San Dieguito High School. She was a cheerleader and it is where she met the love of her life, Robert Holcombe. They were married for 53 years.

She is survived by her husband; two sons, Jeffrey and Timothy; daughters in law, Katie and Cheryl; grandchildren, Rachel, Nathan, Christine and Kimberly; greatgrandchildren, Noah, Caleb, Leah and Riley; and brothers, Nick Laytart and Ben Laytart. Donna and her husband had a very successful career designing and building beautiful homes in Rancho Santa Fe that have been featured and celebrated in many magazines and television home shows. Her sons have carried on the design and construction business that Donna and Bob are renowned for. Donna loved to paint and she loved books. At one time she owned a bookstore in Rancho Santa Fe. She was a great cook and was known for her wonderful parties. She loved nature and the outdoors, and she and her family went on many camping trips, often with friends, to Baja Mexico and the Arizona desert. She was an avid gardener and a member of the RSF Garden Club, and for years was in charge of the Art Dept. of the Garden Club Annual Rummage Sale. Donna was very loving and

compassionate towards animals and helped to place many pets into forever homes with her friends. She loved to play cards with her friends and had several groups she played with for over 50 years. Her memorial service was held at Meadowlark Church in San Marcos, and a party celebrating her life was hosted by Carole Warren and Shawn Primer at their home in Rancho Santa Fe, ﬁttingly in the garden Donna designed several years before. Her son, Tim, a musician, performed beautiful gospel hymns that Donna loved with Peter Pupping assisting at the memorial service. She will be dearly missed but is in our hearts forever. She is off to her next great adventure! Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ ranchosantafereview.

worth, and so forth. It was modern exploring. The least fun was the long plane rides, inevitably in a middle seat in tourist class. But I got a lot of reading done. â&#x20AC;˘ At this point, do you think of yourself more as a businessman or a writer? I hope that I am more of a writer, but I have a large amount of â&#x20AC;&#x153;businessmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinkingâ&#x20AC;? thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s useful, and that applies to the business of writing and publishing. â&#x20AC;˘ What, to you, is the most difficult part of being a writer? The easiest? The writing itself is really the easiest. If writing doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come naturally for you, then you might not want to be in the writing business. Personally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be point guard for the Celtics, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really need a short, slow guy who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot to fill that position. The hardest part is getting your message out, trying to get what you have written into wider distribution and acknowledged by others. Just about everyone who has read this book, including people who are not my relatives, has liked it a lot. And I am still waiting for the New York Times book review editor to call. â&#x20AC;˘ What advice would you give to aspiring authors? The best advice I have ever seen came from Nora Roberts, although it is also attributed to others: â&#x20AC;&#x153;ass in the chair.â&#x20AC;? If you want to be a writer, you have to write. â&#x20AC;˘ What do you hope readers take away from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dust Tea, Dingoes & Dragonsâ&#x20AC;?? I hope that they laugh out loud at least once in every chapter, and then show their companion what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading, and then have a fight about who gets to read the book first. â&#x20AC;˘ What are you working on now? A definitive biography of St. Thomas Aquinas, set to hip-hop music. No, just kidding, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set to ecclesiastical music.

Torrey girls help take gold at Disney In the best-ever performance by a California field hockey team, three Torrey Pines players helped the San Diego Rush earn a gold medal at the prestigious Disney Showcase tournament in Orlando, Fla. With Gabi Jimenez at midfield, Shannon Yogerst at forward and Farah Farjood in defense, Rush won all eight of its games in the Under 19 division. This included victories over national No. 4 Saints (Virginia), No. 12 Windy City (Chicago), No. 13 Carolina All-Stars (North Carolina) and No. 21 Key State (Pennsylvania). Rush also allowed fewer goals (one) than any of the 96 teams at Disney. The team went into the tournament ranked No. 31 in the nation. But the victory will probably boost them into the top 20 and possibly even the top 10. Rushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Under 16 team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with Falcon players Brynn Froehlich and Ryan Poe in the lineup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also had an outstanding tournament. The younger girls won four games against tough East Coast opponents and lost just twice, both times to No. 1-ranked WC Eagles (Pennsylvania).

to have the lowest enrollment of the four high schools, with 1,827 students. The school saw a total of 382 new enrollees to the freshman class and it is projected to start the school year with a class of 448. Nearly 600 students participated in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle school intra-district transfer program, and all were accepted into their choice schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were even able to accept students to Carmel Valley Middle School for the first time in over a decade,â&#x20AC;? Grove said, noting that there was room at the school because of the opening of Pacific Trails Middle School this fall. Grove said they are projecting Pacific Trails to have an opening enrollment of 237 students. As they continue to look at the best ways to enroll high school students, the district plans to hold more workshops with elementary school families in April. A survey is expected to go out to parents in late April or early May, with staff expected to present options to the board by early summer.

MARKET

Mulkerin said his client has greatly enjoyed serving the Rancho Santa Fe community as a family-oriented business for more than 20 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would love to continue to operate the market, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become clear that the landlord is very much intent upon getting Stumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market out of that location,â&#x20AC;? Mulkerin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wish the lawsuits werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult for them to continue to run the market with the animosity theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had with the landlord over the past five years.â&#x20AC;? The marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure will mark the first time there has been available space to rent in Plaza de Santa Fe since 1974. The building owner is interviewing six or seven potential replacement markets, according to Woolley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is expected that in 2016, Rancho Santa Fe will welcome a new market,â&#x20AC;? Woolley said.

equal to the lowest-cost plan offered to district employees. Also last year, the board cut per diem payments, which directors receive for attending meetings, to $150 from $200. Gruzdowich â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who has not accepted health benefits or per diem payments during his time on the board â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said it is important to set an example in a year when the district will be negotiating a new labor agreement with employees. In addition, the district is conducting a cost-of-service study, which could result in a rate increase for customers in 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an opportunity to be a leader in San Diego,â&#x20AC;? said Gruzdowich. Gruzdowich was joined in voting for the reduction in health benefits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which will take effect in 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by board president Michael Hogan and director Marlene King. Directors Alan Smerican and Augie Daddi opposed the motion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a political issue. It has to do with getting the five best people to be directors in our district,â&#x20AC;? said Daddi. Smerican, who receives health coverage for himself and his wife, said directors are elected officials, and entitled to compensation for their service. Over the past two years, he said, his health benefits and per diem payments have amounted to about $12.50 per hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worth $12.50 an hour, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any reason to change anything,â&#x20AC;? he said. The cost of director health benefits is â&#x20AC;&#x153;insignificant,â&#x20AC;? said Smerican, and has no effect on rates. Board compensation and benefits have totaled about $85,000 a year over the past three years, according to a district staff report. In his contacts with constituents, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody cares about the compensation. No one ever brings it up,â&#x20AC;? Smerican said. Hogan, who also serves on the boards of the San Diego County Water Authority and Southern Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Metropolitan Water District, balked at Gruzdowichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original proposal to limit director health benefits to 80 percent of the cost of the lowest plan offered to district employees. Hogan receives coverage for himself through the Santa Fe district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spend a lot of time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a full-time job,â&#x20AC;? Hogan said. Gruzdowich said the issue is one of fairness, and also setting the tone for upcoming labor negotiations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I were an employee, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get the signal youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to cut my pay,â&#x20AC;? Daddi said. In an interview after the meeting, Gruzdowich said the total of pension, health care and salary offered to district employees is â&#x20AC;&#x153;richer than it needs to be,â&#x20AC;? and he will advocate cutting labor costs during upcoming negotiations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, the signal is, I think that (compensation) package needs to be reduced,â&#x20AC;? Gruzdowich said. The cuts to director compensation and benefits, he said, are consistent with his position on employee compensation levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at this as symbolic leadership of how we are going to fiscally manage our district,â&#x20AC;? Gruzdowich said. During the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discussion of director health benefits, Smerican countered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the business of symbolism, and you get what you pay for.â&#x20AC;?

when we consider this symbolic gesture,” said board member Amy Herman. “I’d be more comfortable waiting until we get more information.” California is one of only 18 states that allows parents to enroll their children in school unvaccinated through the personal belief exemption. According to the district’s report on the resolution, health officials believe an immunization rate of 95 percent is critical to minimizing a potential health risk of a disease outbreak. As use of the personal belief exemption has risen, so has the incidence of disease. A measles outbreak at Disneyland this year particularly heightened concerns. In February, State Senators Dr. Richard Pan and Ben Allen introduced the bill, which prohibits children from attending any public elementary school or child care center unless they have been fully immunized against a list of 10 various diseases including measles, mumps, and pertussis. It also includes any other disease determined appropriate in the future. The Solana Beach School District board approved a resolution supporting the bill in a 4-0 vote on March 12. “What they’re proposing with this bill is that parents who have made a religious or philosophical decision not to vaccinate their children be forced to do something that is against their beliefs or else be truant or move out of the state or country,” parent Ann Austin said. Austin said there is a misconception that exemptions mean that the student is not vaccinated — she said most delay or do selective vaccinations, such as opting not to do the hepatitis B vaccine for infants in their first year of life. Austin and other parents said the bill will negatively affect families — students would be unable to attend schools in the district or participate in sports programs. “Please do not support a bill that infringes on our ethics, on informed consent and our right as parents to choose what is best for our kids,” said Austin. Many parents referred to the January 2014 implementation of the less restrictive Assembly Bill 2109, which requires parents who request immunization exemptions to obtain signed documentation from a health professional that they have been informed of the benefits and risks of immunizations. Since that law took effect, 20 percent fewer parents have used the personal belief ex-

BONDS

emption. “That bill is working; why are we trying to introduce another?” asked parent Karen Lun. “Let’s let AB2109 do its job.” Many local parents take advantage of the vaccination opt-out. All of the district’s feeder school districts exceed the threshold established by the state of 2.5 percent for unvaccinated children. The Del Mar Union School District has a total of 4,405 students in grades K-6, and about 3.8 percent, or 166 students, opted out based on personal beliefs. Seven out of the eight DMUSD schools exceed the state threshold. At the Solana Beach district, 3.3 percent have personal belief waivers and four out of seven district schools exceed the state threshold. The Rancho Santa Fe School District, which enrolls a total of 695 students, has 56 students — about 8 percent — who have opted out of vaccinations. Encinitas Union has the highest vaccine refusal rate. For the district’s nine schools, the average was 11.6 percent last year. Olivenhain Pioneer had the highest rate of personal-belief exemptions in the district, with waivers for 19 out of 122 kindergartners, or about 16 percent. Parents questioned why the legislation is directed at California schools when the outbreak originated not at schools, but at an amusement park. Parent Brian Austin said the outbreak was hardly so, infecting only 131 people in a state of 30 million. Brian Austin expressed concerns about the where the bill is coming from, saying it “smells of corporate greed.” He said he was uncomfortable with corporations influencing public policy and wondered how the bill seeks to profit medical and pharmaceutical companies. Student representatives on the board were given an opportunity to weigh in by trustee Mo Muir. “On the one side, vaccinations can help all children stay safe and keep people from getting sick, and I think everyone should be vaccinated,” said Courtney Walsh from San Dieguito High School Academy. “But (the bill) is unconstitutional in a way and kids shouldn’t not be able to attend school because of their religious beliefs.” Trustee John Salazar said that he believes in individual rights, but attending public school is a privilege, not a right; certain requirements must be followed in order to attend.

and front entry renovation at Torrey Pines, and the design and construction of new classroom buildings at Canyon Crest and San Dieguito Academies. Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, said staff worked closely with the bond underwriters and finance team to take the board’s requests into account. “The plan honors our commitment to keeping the tax rate below the cap of $25 per 100,000 of assessed values, there are no capital appreciation bonds in this series of bonds and they were kept to a repayment term of 25 years, more restrictive than the law would allow,” Dill said. Trustee John Salazar said he was very happy with the plan, as original talks about 30-year bond terms and the use of capital appreciation bonds made him very cautious. Trustee Joyce Dalessandro also complimented the staff for a job well done, recognizing the “tremendous” amount of work it required. “I think we’ll have no trouble selling these bonds,” Salazar said. As explained by Dill and the district’s financial adviser, Adam Bauer, the financing plan only uses current interest bonds, and the true interest cost is estimated at 3.69 percent. The projected yearly assessed value growth is constrained to 4 percent during the 25-year repayment term. The principal amount of $117 million

will be repaid over the course of 25 years, and from the period of 2019-2026 will be interest-only, to allow for the growth of assessed value and to accommodate future issuances. Very close to Series A, Series B will have a payback ratio of 1.74:1, which Salazar remarked was very reasonable and better than what most people do with their homes. Muir had concerns about eight years of paying interest, not premium, and that the structure resembled a “balloon payment.” She worried whether taxpayers would be paying more about 25 years from now. Bauer said he did not believe that to be the case. “It works a lot like home mortgages. I wouldn’t characterize it as a balloon payment,” Bauer said. “You’re paying more interest and less principal in the early years, and as it amortizes, the formula flips.” The bonds are expected to trade above their par value, creating a premium that the market is demanding, Bauer said. Typically, a bond will trade at a premium when it offers a coupon rate that is higher than prevailing interest rates, as investors want a higher yield and will pay more for it. The amount gained by selling at a premium will be used to reduce debt service and for issuance costs. “I’m very confident that the structure in front of you is the most cost-effective way to sell bonds,” Bauer said.

San Diego REP embarks on 40th season with mission to showcase ‘unique people’ More than 125 fans and friends of San Diego REPertory Theatre attended its Season 40 announcement party March 9 at The Westin Gaslamp. Guests were treated to beverages and bites on the rooftop terrace before being ushered into the ballroom for sneak-peek performances from the artists involved in selecting a six-play season line-up designed to excite the mind and curious spirit in all. “Our 40th anniversary season is upon us and our plans are ambitious,” said Sam Woodhouse, co-founder and artistic director. “San Diego REP has produced 286 productions since 1976, and with this season lineup we intend to celebrate our historic milestone with carefully curated artistic works that represent our commitment to stories that showcase unique and special kinds of people, ideas, music, philosophy, stories and quests in the contemporary world, as well as trumpet the search for a higher ground — justice, equality and a voice at the table for all Americans.” San Diego REP’s 40th season at the Lyceum Stage offers: • “Violet,” Aug. 20-Sept. 13. Tony-nominated musical and winner of the Drama Critics’ Circle Award, “Violet” is a modern fairy tale filled with show-stopping anthems of the 1960s American South. • “My Mañana Comes,” Oct. 1-25. Playwright Elizabeth Irwin explores the hopes and struggles of four busboys in a swanky restaurant. • “The Oldest Boy,” Nov. 12-Dec. 6. This delicate comic drama weaves music, dance, puppetry, intimate moments and infinite meanings when a young American mother finds two crimson-robed strangArtistic Director ers, a monk and a lama, at her door. They are on a mission to meet her Sam Woodhouse 3-year-old son, Tenzin, a child who is wise beyond his years whom they believe is the reincarnation of a high Buddhist teacher. • “Outside Mullingar,” Jan. 21-Feb. 14, 2016. A Tony Award Best Play 2014 nominee, this comedy is from the pen of the Pulitzer Prize-, Academy Award-, and Tony Award-winning writer of “Doubt” and “Moonstruck,” John Patrick Shanley. It’s an unabashed reminder that it’s never too late to take a chance on love. In a tiny village in rural Ireland, Anthony and Rosemary are 40-somethings who haven’t got a clue when it comes to love. • “R. Buckminster Fuller: The History (and Mystery) of the Universe,” March 10-April 3, 2016. Ron Campbell, praised equally as a lead clown for Cirque de Soleil and a classical actor on the American stage, plays Bucky Fuller, a man who has been called the Leonardo da Vinci of the 20th century. Engineer, architect, poet, mathematician, philosopher, futurist, innovator and visionary, Bucky was one of the first true global thinkers.

Q&A: Stage-struck software engineer Larry Alldredge directs SD Rep Larry Alldredge hails from Indiana, where he was the first in eight generations not to be a farmer. He caught the theater bug as a kindergartener, where he was cast as one of the Little Red Hen’s chicks. The 5-year-old Larry would have preferred instead to produce his own version of “The Wizard of Oz.” He taught computer science at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. He enjoyed working at Community Theatre of Terre Haute, Ind., as an actor and designer. After arriving in San Diego in 1988, he worked at Telesoft, designing and consulting on software engineering systems, primarily for the defense industry. He met his future wife, Dawn Moore, when she interviewed him for a job at Qualcomm. He got the job, and later, the wife, and they were Larry Alldredge married on a glacier in Alaska. Alldredge made the natural career progression in 2008 to become managing director of San Diego Repertory Theatre. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Any group of eight artists from the many great theaters in town. What are your five favorite movies of all time? “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” “Heavy Metal,” “Howl’s Moving Castle,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Trainspotting.” What is it that you most dislike? When people don’t play together well. What is your most prized possession? I collect experiences more than things. There have been several times in life where I have gotten rid of all my things because they were getting in the way of new experiences. What is your philosophy of life? Be adventurous. Experience many choices.

La Jolla Cultural Partners

What clothing item in your closet will you never part with? I have a couple of sentimental neckties from my father. Even though I rarely wear ties, I like knowing they are there.

What are your favorite comfort foods? I begin almost every day with a soy latte from Goldfish Point Café. Other than that, I like to eat almost anything, especially foods or drinks I have not tried before. What would be your dream vaca-

tion? One that never ends. Every time we travel, we meet new and interesting people who add 12 more places to the list of future vacations. This fall, we are going to South Africa and Zimbabwe for the first time. I’m really looking forward to that new experience. Antarctica is high on the future list. As is anywhere with great scuba diving!

Plight of African bonobos gets support in North San Diego County BY JOE TASH A Congolese womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for rescuing bonobos, a member of the great ape family with close genetic ties to both humans and chimpanzees, has generated support throughout the world, including North County. Two local women, Debbie Sandler and Ashley Stone, sit on the board of Friends of the Bonobos, a nonprofit group that supports the Lola Ya Bonobo sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or DRC. Claudine AndrĂŠ, founder of Lola Ya Bonobo, was in San Diego recently, and met with a reporter to discuss her work, the plight of the bonobos, and the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts. Lola Ya Bonobo was founded in 1994 to rescue orphaned bonobos whose mothers were killed by poachers involved in the bush meat trade, in which exotic animals are slaughtered for their meat, which is then sold illegally for thousands of dollars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a business,â&#x20AC;? said AndrĂŠ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can make a lot of money.â&#x20AC;? At the sanctuary, located on 75 acres near the Congolese capital of Kinshasa, the orphans are raised until adulthood, then released to the wild in a remote section of the country. AndrĂŠ plans her third bonobo release this summer. The sanctuary houses about 75 bonobos. On April 23, a French documentary about AndrĂŠ and her work, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beny: Back to the Wild,â&#x20AC;? will be released in English in the United States. After a premiere at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lincoln Center, the film will be available for streaming on Netflix, said Sandler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her story is about to become well-known in the U.S.,â&#x20AC;? said Sandler, who has visited the bonobo sanctuary in the DRC twice, in 2012 and 2015. Her passion, said Sandler, is education and advocacy for the bonobos, which are found in the wild only in the DRC, and are listed as an endangered species. Stone also is involved in advocacy, and has founded a new nonprofit, The Bonobo Project, to raise awareness about the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plight and generate support for Lola Ya Bonobo and other conservation groups. Stone also has visited the Lola Ya Bonobo sanctuary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bonobo is, in my opinion, the underdog of all apes,â&#x20AC;? said Stone, because there are so few animals left in the wild (estimates range from 10,000 to 50,000), and they are not as familiar to people as the other great apes, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans. Along with public education, said Stone, she hopes the new group will be able to convene annual summits for bonobo stakeholders, and strengthen ties with the San Diego Zoo, which is one of only seven zoos in the U.S. with a bonobo collection. The five-member Bonobo Project board includes Kim Livingstone, lead keeper for the San Diego Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primate department, and Jingzhi Tan, a postdoctoral associate with Duke University, who has conducted research at the Lola Ya Bonobo sanctuary. According to the World Wildlife Fund website, bonobos are smaller, darker and leaner than chimpanzees. Their groups are considered more peaceful than chimpanzees, and they are led by females. Therefore, said Stone and Sandler, bonobo society can serve as an inspiration for humans, their close genetic relatives.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe bonobos offer hope to humanity, because they resolve their conflicts peacefully,â&#x20AC;? said Stone. As AndrĂŠ has pursued her work with the bonobos, she has enlisted the aid of Congolese people, seeking to educate them not to use bonobos as a source of food or keep them as pets. To encourage their cooperation, she said, her nonprofit has provided schoolbooks, medicine and agricultural assistance, and has also hired locals to track the animals after they are released into the wild, and to undertake anti-poaching patrols. AndrĂŠ and her husband, who runs a transport business, have five children, and her daughter, an attorney, recently took over daily operations of Lola Ya Bonobo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an alliance of females, like the bonobos,â&#x20AC;? she said. The release site, called Ekolo Ya Bonobo, is several hundred miles north of the sanctuary. To reach it, AndrĂŠ and her staff must fly partway, then complete the final portion of the journey by canoe on the Congo River. Although the DRC has suffered from armed conflict between government forces and insurgents over past decades, AndrĂŠ said most of the fighting is confined to the eastern part of the country, near Rwanda. Travel to the release site is not dangerous, she said. Efforts to preserve the bonobos are important not just for them, but for humans, too, said Sandler: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to keep these guys around so we can continue to learn from these apes.â&#x20AC;?

SPONSORED COLUMNS NORMA NELSON-WIBERG RSF Home Loans 858.354.4777

Buying a Home? Build a Financial Team Thanks to low mortgage rates, high net-worth buyers have recently found great success in purchasing luxury homes, especially over the last six months. For example, according to Bloomberg, in the second quarter of 2014, banks approved more than 15,000 mortgage loans ranging from $1

million to $10 million. And these numbers have continued into 2015. Wealthy buyers are seeing the opportunity with these mortgage rates to jump on lucrative properties. This is coming at a time when many ﬁrst-time home buyers are still struggling to get a loan. The main difference is that, “high net worth borrowers don’t have to borrow. They choose to, so they’re very strategic about what, why and when to borrow,” says Erin Gorman, managing director at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. If you ﬁnd yourself in a similar situation and are looking to strategically take advantage of the currently low mortgage rates or are simply looking to move your family to a luxury home in a beautiful

location, it is important to plan correctly from the outset. For any large financial decision you most likely have a “financial team.” This may include your CPA, your attorney, and your financial planner. The key, however, when purchasing a home, is adding a trusted loan officer to that financial team. Here are some reasons why adding a loan officer to your plans from the beginning can help: Financial health. With a trusted, experienced financial team in place, you can ensure that you won’t be making an emotional purchase, but rather one that is smart for your financial well-being, both in the present and the future. Price range. With a loan officer on board,

your team can wisely arrive at the proper price range in which you should be looking. The right mortgage. Your loan officer will know which type of mortgage is best suited for your financial situation in conjunction with the price range your team established. Vested. Your loan officer also has the experience to make sure that the mortgage is vested correctly. Approved. If included from the very beginning, a loan officer can ensure that you are fully approved to buy the home even before you select a real estate agent. http://www.ranchosantafereview. com/news/2015/feb/14/buying-ahome-build-a-financial-team/

Cultural Day at The Nativity School A celebration of the rich heritage of different world cultures has been a tradition at The Nativity School since its opening 19 years ago. This year the campus was recently transformed to depict the cultures of Mexico. The sights and sounds of The Nativity school campus were alive with the excitement of handson learning that brings greater appreciation and understanding of a diverse population. As the students rotated through the educational centers they learned about Mexico through a Multiple Intelligence approach, which is the core of the educational philosophy at Nativity. Experiencing the depth of cultural traditions included the ancient Aztec and Mayan cultures, the Pyramids of Teotihuacan, Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, Basílica of Guadalupe, whale and monarch butterfly migrations and silver mining. The school’s courtyard was transformed into a Mexican Plaza with a cen-

tral gazebo surrounded by stands that teach about Mexico. Included was the story of the battle for independence of México from Spain (Sept. 16); the battle of Puebla against France (5 de Mayo); Dia de los Muertos, a day honoring all family ancestors and the symbolism of the Mexican flag. Entertainment included Ballet Folklorico, Lucha Libre wrestling, and a cowboy charro rope demonstration. Nativity is a Preschool-8th grade school that teaches Christ-like values in a nurturing environment that is academically strong and rich in the spirit of life and love. The Nativity School is located at 6309 El Apajo Road, Rancho Santa Fe, near Fairbanks Ranch. Please call the school office for a school tour appointment or for more information, visit www.thenativityschool.org. Photos by McKenzie Images. For photos online, visit www.rsffreview.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund members De Anza Daughters hear different learn about Navy SEALs at meeting ways to publish family histories In keeping with its 2015 Grant Cycle focus on nonprofits supporting services for women or the military, the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund hosted an active-duty Navy SEAL speaker at its February meeting, held at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The audience was captivated as the guest speaker shared the structure of the U.S. Special Operations Command. Out of 63,000 total members, only 2,500 are designated Navy SEALs. He discussed their initial training where, in 63 intense weeks, only 10 percent of the applicants typically move on to receive their final 27 weeks of training before successful completion of the program. One might believe that only the incredibly strong and physically fit could endure the rigorous training to succeed in such a program; however, if you are an intelligent, competitive team player, with critical thinking skills, who is also a strong-willed non-conformist with the ability to reinvent yourself and adapt to a surrounding culture, you may want to apply. Since its inception in 1965, there have only been 12,000 Navy SEALs. The audience came away with added respect for this branch of our country’s military service. Furthering their vow to provide support to the local military, the RSF Women’s Fund will join for a hands-on volunteer opportunity from 8:30 a.m.-noon April 18 distributing food to military families through a local organization, San Diego Military Outreach Ministries. This volunteer event provides a meaningful way for the RSFWF to say “thank you” to our active-duty, junior enlisted military families and to honor their sacrifice and commitment to their country. Food donations can be dropped at the RSF Women’s Fund, within the offices of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, 162 S. Rancho Santa Fe Road, Suite B, in Encinitas until April 16. Food requested (all canned and boxed; no glass) includes Chicken Helper, canned chicken or tuna, instant pudding or Jell-O, instant potatoes, pasta or rice, canned spaghetti sauce, canned fruit and vegetables, pop tarts, boxed cookie or cake mixes. For information, contact womensfund@rsffoundation.org.

The De Anza Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution welcomed three speakers who have published their family histories at the monthly luncheon held March 7 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in Solana Beach. After 15 years of research, retired USAF Lt. Col. Wayne Andersen published two family history books, the first 200 pages with 1,000 family members and the second 525 pages covering 2,500 members, using a publisher and editor that would ensure the book was available on Amazon. “I wanted a legacy for my family,” said Andersen. Bruce Dillon, a retired history teacher Veterans Chair Linda Unrue, Vietnam and previous recipient of the DAR Outstand- veteran retired USAF Lt. Col. Wayne ing American History Teacher award, has two Andersen family history books in print, one targeting children as readers, a second on his wife’s family, and a third in progress on his own family line. Using a different approach, the books were limited to 100 pages with emphasis on family photos and self-published at low cost using Costco. Dillon said that his elderly parents look at the books every day. “Don’t be the person who doesn’t share the family stories and photos. Liberate those photos. Write, preserve and share!” he said. Realizing the significance of her last grandparent’s death, Jeanne Bednorz, 1st Vice Regent, began researching her family history in 1976. Using yet a third approach, Bednorz wrote and self-published a 765-page book on Speakers Jeanne Bednorz, 1st Vice her mother’s line, sourcing approximately Regent, Bruce Dillon, Wayne Andersen 4,000 direct ancestors up to 14 generations. Using an IbiMaster comb-binding machine at home, Bednorz was able to produce each book for a cost of $14. In conjunction with the Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Commemoration, Linda Unrue, Service for Veterans Chair, recognized Lt. Col. Andersen or his service in the Vietnam war. DAR has partnered with the federal government to participate in a 13-year program to pay tribute to this generation of patriots.

River Valley Conservancy taking applications for 2016 nature program The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy is taking applications for its popular “Exploring Our Sense of Place” (ESP) 2016 program. This eight-session program makes it possible for participants, guided by experts, to experience the San Dieguito River Valley in all seasons, to follow the path from mountain to sea, to encounter plant, animal and human inhabitants, and to connect to the River Valley with their heart and minds. It includes a reception, seven excursions, and a special “reflection time.” This program, which sells out quickly, was created by Chris Khoury and Linda Corey of Escondido to provide an opportunity to get to know and grow to love the exceptional biodiversity of this region. Sponsored by the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, more than 175 Explorers have graduated from the program, all of whom are now able to participate in ESP Alumni hikes and educational experiences. “At the final excursion of each seminar series, Explorers are asked to evaluate their ESP experience. The average of these responses has been 4.7 out 5. Many ESP Explorers comment that ESP has been a life-changing experience,” said Trish Boaz, Executive Director of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy is a non-profit 501(c)3 dedicated to preserving, protecting and restoring natural and cultural resources within the 55-mile-long San Dieguito watershed. The headwaters flow from springs on Volcan Mountain north of Julian and meander some 55 miles through conifer and oak woodlands, grasslands, and chaparral to the San Dieguito Lagoon, between Del Mar and Solana Beach. The Conservancy practices sustainable natural and cultural resource management and provides recreational activities and environmental education to the greater San Diego community. The tuition is $250 and includes two texts, course materials, and lectures by local experts. Participants provide their own brown bag lunches, hiking supplies and equipment. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants in order to maximize the experience for participants, who must be San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy members.

Taste of Leucadia to be held April 2 An eclectic array of Leucadia restaurants, San Diego’s best craft breweries, wineries and local musicians bring North Coast Highway 101 alive April 2 for the Taste of Leucadia. For the third straight year, the Leucadia 101 Main Street will host the best party of the year drawing 1,000 ticket holders for the evening. “Festivities start at 5:30 p.m. and last until 8:30 p.m., with many attendees continuing the merriment at our local bars and restaurants once the event is over,” said Leucadia 101 Main Street President Nick Winfrey. “This year, we will have a record number of tastes and beverage sips available to ticket holders, with 18 local restaurants participating and 13 San Diego craft breweries and wineries sampling the finest of what they have to offer.” Those without tickets are welcome to come down and enjoy the live music, which is free at several locations along the culinary trail, plus live poetry in Leucadia Roadside Park. Taste of Leucadia Tickets are $20 in advance ($25 event day), and tickets with Sip Stops (craft beer/wine tasting included) are $33 in advance ($40 event day). “This year the event will be eliminating waste by giving each Sip Stop tickets holder a commemorative tasting cup that they can take home as a souvenir,” said Leucadia 101 Main Street Vice President William Morrison. “This will eliminate over 8,000 disposable tasting cups that were used in prior years. “Additional green elements include an eco shuttle that runs on biofuel which will transport attendees from the upper parking lot of the Encinitas City Hall (505 S. Vulcan) to the heart of the event. The shuttle also eliminates a parking hassle, and we highly recommend taking advantage of it!” Call 760-436-2320; buy tickets at Leucadia101.com.

It’s the perfect setup for a laugh-filled evening at the theater: an embezzling mayor, his female accountant who can’t stay dressed, two undercover cops, nefarious hit men, and of course, videotape. In “Unnecessary Farce,” playwright Paul Slade Smith has reinvented the in-one-door innuendo, and out-the-door comic shtick for North Coast Repertory Theatre. It’s a zany San Diego premiere that will leave you howling with laughter starting April 18. Matthew Wiener directs a stellar cast: Ted Barton, Dagmar Fields, Jessica John, David McBean, John Nutten, Jacque Wilke and Christopher M. Williams. Previews begin April 15; opening night at 8 p.m. April 18 includes a post-show reception. There will be a special talkback on April 24 with the cast and artistic director. Shows will be at 7 p.m. Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and 7 p.m. Sundays through May 10. North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach. Tickets start at $37 with discounts for seniors, students, military. Call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org to purchase tickets.
