Just in Time honors RSF family for commitment to foster youth BY KAREN BILLING Just in Time for Foster Youth will honor the Livingston family, including Rancho Santa Fe residents Susanne and Brad Livingston and their daughters, for their dedication to making a difference in the lives of young adults at the organization’s March 14 Walk the Talk gala at Balboa Park. Through the family’s Livingston Foundation, they have supported the Just in Time organization since it began 10 years ago and started Living to Succeed for foster youth in 2011. For The Livingston Foundation, board meetings are held around a family dinner table headed by “Nonie and Pop.” Founded by grandparents Ron and Sandy Liv-

ingston as a way to involve their children and grandchildren in philanthropy, board meetings at the Thanksgiving table consisted of the younger generations pitching the philanthropic ideas that “tugged at their heart the most,” from local foster youth to Darfur. The board includes the McKay family in Orange County and the Livingstons in San Diego: Ron and Sandy’s son, Brad, and his wife, Susanne, and their grandchildren, Kristin (25) and Lauren (23). The family tends to shy away from the spotlight. They are humbled by Just in Time’s honor, but also see it as an opportunity to show the positive example set by

the Livingston grandparents, three generations committed to giving back. This will be Ron and Sandy’s legacy, said Susanne Livingston. “If everyone on the planet did this, the world would be such a better place,” she said. The Livingstons have lived in Rancho Santa Fe for a little over a year, after more than 30 years in Encinitas. Susanne and her husband, Brad, started Residential Wholesale Mortgage in 1994, a “community mortgage banker” that gives residential and retail loans to help people finance homes and investment properties.

New Scripps Prebys cardiac center to receive first patients March 8 BY PAT SHERMAN After years of planning, Scripps Health’s new $456 million Prebys Cardiovascular Institute will receive its first patients March 8, opening as the West Coast’s most advanced center for cardiovascular care. What Scripps Clinic’s chief of cardiology, Paul Teirstein (who is also medical director of the new cardiac center), praised last week as the building’s “arty, boomerang design” seems fitting. Just like a boomerang, the quality care Scripps has provided San Diegans through the decades came back in the form of $127 million in philanthropic gifts toward the new center. Donations came from more than 2,600 individuals, including $1 million from Scripps physicians, another $1 million from Scripps staff and $45 million from Conrad Prebys, a real estate developer and philanthropist for whom the state-of-the-art facility is named. Addressing hundreds of donors, physicians, staff and media during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Feb. 26, Scripps Health’s President and CEO Chris Van Gorder called Prebys’ donation “impactful” and “historic.” “We will always be grateful to you,” Van Gorder told Prebys and those in attendance. “It’s the single largest donation Scripps has ever received, and we believe it will help reshape heart care and health care in San Di-

RSF Association Board Biz: Technology Infrastructure Committee is prepared to make major recommendations BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD Over the past six months, you have been reading about the RSF Association board’s commitment to improve technology infrastructure. Finally, concrete steps are being taken toward reality! First, we can report that improvements are being made in the wireless area to improve cellphone service. AT&T has begun installing antennas on the building across from the Post Office, and Verizon has begun searching for locations throughout the Covenant to install beautifully camouflaged antennas. We hope to realize improved cell coverage over the next several months. Second, and even more important, we have an update on what is being planned in the area of broadband to improve the speed and reliability of our Internet connections. Our board is ready to start taking action on a major fiber-optic installation project.

Ann Boon In late 2014, an indepth feasibility study for building a communityowned fiber-optic network infrastructure for the Covenant was performed by Magellan Advisors, with funding provided by private residents of RSFA (Rancho Santa Fe Association). On Feb. 27, Magellan President John Honker presented the findings of the study to the ad hoc Technology Infrastructure Committee. The study focused on four key issues: • Technical specifications; • Related cost considerations; • Community sentiment;

• Revenue potential and payback. An online and offline survey of RSFA residents was conducted to help determine the community appetite and financial viability of building a network. The following results were noteworthy: • Of 1,700 homes, more than 500 total responses; • 97 percent of residents have Internet at home; • 80 percent of residents believe broadband Internet is critical; • On a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being the best), residents rate their services at a 1.9; • 48 percent have home-based businesses and Internet is critical. Magellan recommended that RSFA build the entire fiber-optic network, including the fiber connections all the way to the home. By building and owning the core network, RSFA can maintain control of its technological infrastructure. Among other benefits, having this control would allow RSFA to: 1) keep the network “open” to compet-

ing providers; 2) lease the network to other potential users, including cellphone tower companies and utility “smart-grid” providers; and 3) keep the power to update, modernize, and/or expand the network, rather than leave those activities to the discretion of a major service provider’s bottom line. Magellan also recommended, however, that RSFA not be in the business of providing the actual services in the home. Instead, by contracting with any number of service providers, RSFA would transfer the responsibility to service providers for customer service and “in-home” equipment such as modems and routers. Throughout the process, the members who funded the study instructed Magellan to use very conservative estimates for both costs and potential revenues. Magellan performed a comprehensive analysis of the cost considerations for the build-out, financing, and management of the network. Although the initial analysis did not include any

additional avenues for revenue, it would be reasonable to assume that RSFA could also lease access to the network to other providers, including cell tower companies, security companies, rapid response services, utility companies (smart grids, for example), and other potential companies that rely on new technology. These additional revenue streams would have the potential to be significant to RSFA. Magellan concluded that the viability of a community-owned fiber-optic network is extremely good and that any necessary investment would be recovered in a relatively short time frame. The network

would take approximately 18 months to two years from start to completion. At the March 5 meeting, the entire RSFA board will review the study and hear the recommendations of the Technology Infrastructure Committee. On another topic: On March 3, the Nominating Committee will be interviewing candidates who have volunteered to run for the RSFA board this spring. The committee will be announcing the candidates’ names by March 16. These are exciting times. Stay tuned for the next update. Ann.boon@me.com

RSF Library Guild features best-selling author Lisa See at March 12 fundraiser BY DIANE Y. WELCH The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, in partnership with Warwick’s of La Jolla, will host a special event, “Conversation and Lunch with Lisa See,� on Thursday, March 12. This is the guild’s main fundraiser. See, a New York Times best-selling author, will present a lively talk about her latest book, “China Dolls,� followed by a question and answer session. Tickets are available to members and non-members. The sit-down lunch will be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, where Chinese cuisine will be served and colorful Asian-themed decor will provide a fitting ambiance. Guests will receive a paperback copy of “China Dolls,� which See will be happy to personalize, said Susan Appleby, guild membership and development manager. The event committee — led by Ways and Means chair Susan Stone Hayes and board member Vivien U, assisted by Lisa See Suzanne Johnson, Susan Bailey Cowan, and Kathy Henry — organized the luncheon. Sponsorship for the event is being provided by Donald E. Johnson III of Wells Fargo Advisors, Rancho Santa Fe, and Realtor Eveline Bustillos of Coldwell Banker, Rancho Santa Fe. Appleby had been talking with Warwick’s about doing a fundraiser of this type for the past two years. “It was a case of getting the right author and the right timing,� she said. “Because we are the library, the board in the last two years has made it a priority for all guild events to be either educational or literary, so this is a great fit.� See was scheduled to speak at the San Diego Public Library on the evening of March 12 and was more than willing to talk at the guild’s luncheon on the same day, said Julie Slavinsky, Warwick’s director of events and community relations. The plot of “China Dolls� follows three young women from very different backgrounds who meet by chance at the glamorous Forbidden City nightclub in San Francisco. Set in 1938, as San Francisco’s world fair is preparing to open and a war is developing overseas, the girls become closely bound in friendship, relying on one another through life’s challenges and their respective changed courses in destiny. See’s earlier novels include “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan�; “Peony in Love�; “Flower Net�; “Dragon Bones�; and the memoir “On Gold Mountain.� She has received many acco-

lades for her skill at rendering the intricate relationships of women and the complex meeting of history and fate. In her talk she will include the background of how she develops a story, the writing process and her research, said Slavinsky. “Lisa also explains the real events that bring her fictional stories to life,� she added. The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild is a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose purpose and mission is to raise funds and provide support for the Rancho Santa Fe Library. This year represents its 50th year of support for the library and a special 50th Anniversary Endowment Fund Drive has just launched. Any donations to the fund will be fully tax-deductible. Tickets for the luncheon and talk are available at the guild’s website and start at $85 per person. Registration opens at 11 a.m. March 12, and seating begins at 11:30 a.m. The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is at 5827 Via de la Cumbre, Rancho Santa Fe. This event will sell out early; purchase tickets at www.rsflibraryguild. org or call 858-756-4780.

Accomplished RSF couple co-chairing Planned Parenthood anniversary dinner BY JOE TASH Between them, Bill and Marisa Rastetter pursue a variety of interests and endeavors. He sits on the boards of six biotech companies, and also takes photographs that are exhibited in two La Jolla galleries. She’s an attorney who represents underprivileged clients, and is an accomplished triathlete. One interest they hold in common — along with their devotion to each other — is support for the mission of Planned Parenthood of the Southwest, which provides a variety of health services for women and men in San Diego, Imperial and Riverside counties. “Planned Parenthood provides health care services to thousands of people,” said Bill. It is especially important to the couple, he said, that the organization is accessible to under-served populations, from teens who need information about contraception and sexually transmitted diseases, to adults who need screening for breast cancer. The couple, who maintain homes in Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla, were chosen as co-chairs of Planned Parenthood’s 52nd anniversary dinner, which will be held April 7 at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel in San Diego. Tickets are still available, and about 1,000 attendees are expected. The featured speaker at the event will be Jonathan Eig, author of the book, “Birth of the Pill: How Four Crusaders Reinvented Sex and Launched a Revolution.” The event is an important fundraiser for the group; last year, Planned Parenthood raised about $1.1 million from the anniversary dinner, according to spokeswoman Jennifer Coburn. Money raised by the event will go toward capital projects, such as new and remodeled health centers across the three counties served by Planned Parenthood of the Southwest, said Marisa. The group’s 20th center will open shortly in El Centro.

Bill and Marisa Rastetter pursue a variety of interests, including support for Planned Parenthood of the Southwest. They are chairing the 52nd anniversary dinner, to be held April 7. According to the group’s annual report for 2012, Planned Parenthood handled 304,000 medical visits during that year, with about 5 percent for abortion-related services, and the other 95 percent for cancer screenings, gynecological services, contraception and STD treatment or screening. The organization accepts Medi-Cal and private insurance, and offers treatment to non-insured people on a sliding scale based on their income. “Whether the patient is insured or uninsured, Planned Parenthood is there to help them,” said Bill. Planned Parenthood provides an important option to women as many states enact new laws restricting reproductive choice, Marisa said. “You think the fight is over, that women get to choose what they do with their bodies, and unfortunately it’s not.” The couple met in the swimming pool at the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla, and have been married for nine years. They still swim together, as Marisa prepares for upcoming triathlon competitions. Although she suffered a herniated disc in her back and can’t ride a bike right now, she is training for a 54-mile ultra-marathon to be held in South Africa in May. She also hopes her back injury will be healed in time for a World Championship triathlon competition set for September in Chicago. Professionally, Marisa volunteers with a San Diego legal group, representing relatives of abused or neglected children in custody cases. Bill, who holds degrees from MIT and Harvard, joined IDEC Pharmaceuticals at its founding and helped grow it to a multibillion-dollar company as its chairman and CEO. His passion for photography began when his mom gave him a Kodak box camera at age 11. He now pursues his art “whenever the inspiration strikes me,” he said. The work he exhibits at two La Jolla galleries includes a series of seascapes in which the camera shutter was left open for as long as 10 minutes. Another series, which he calls “mash-ups,” consist of two images superimposed over each other, including shots of street graffiti photographed during a trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2014.

Local organization is creating big change for world’s ecosystems BY KRISTINA HOUCK Though small, a Del Mar nonprofit is making a big impact on the world. Since 1997, Nature and Culture International has helped protect millions of acres of endangered ecosystems in Latin America. “We work directly with local communities and governments to develop a vision for conservation and a better life for the people living around conservation areas,” said NCI President Byron Swift. Although it was more than 20 years ago, NCI founder Ivan Gayler, a Del Mar native, vividly recalled the day his tears moved him to action. While flying over South America in the early 1990s, Gayler looked down at the Amazon rainforest and saw a lattice of logging roads and land-clearing fires. Perhaps better known locally as part of the Del Mar Partnership that built Del Mar Plaza, Gayler, a

longtime developer, decided to concentrate on conservation more than 15 years ago with the launch of NCI. “That transformed me,” said Gayler, who co-founded Del Mar Partnership with business partner David Winkler in 1979. “The world’s last great ecosystem was disappearing before my very eyes.” With Gayler still serving as co-chairman of the board and president of the company, Del Mar Partnership donates office space to NCI. And Winkler, co-chairman and chief executive officer of Del Mar Partnership, previously served on NCI’s board. When Gayler first launched the foundation, he used his own funds to help build the San Francisco Scientific Station on the northern edge of Podocarpus National Park in Ecuador. There, the German Research Foundation runs what is described as the largest tropical forest research program in

the world, while offering training to locals. Since then, NCI and its partners in Ecuador, Mexico and Peru have conserved 13 million acres of critical ecosystems, ensuring the survival of countless species, through land purchases, community reserves and government reserves. This includes directly supporting the creation of 6.5 million acres of protected areas, and three United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) biosphere reserves spanning another 6.5 million acres. “San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties combined are 4.5 million acres,” Gayler noted. “It’s larger than that.” Gayler attributes much of the organization’s success to his strategy of working from the ground up. Though founded in Del Mar, the organization has only six staff members locally, while 150 staff live and work in Ecuador, Mexico and Peru. NCI’s local staff members develop relationships within their communities to better understand and protect the local ecosystems. “Local people love their forest and want to protect it,” Gayler said. “They just don’t have the resources, so we help them.” “Our way is working with the local people,” added Silvia Usuriaga, NCI’s program coordinator and chief of staff. A native of Peru, she directed NCI programs in the Peruvian Amazon for three years before joining the U.S. office. “We are helping them grow in their way, while conserving the forest they depend on.” This bottom-up approach is also what attracts NCI’s local and global supporters. After years of supporting the organization, Del Mar City Councilman Dwight Worden traveled to Ecuador in June to witness NCI’s work firsthand. During the 10-day trip, Worden, with his longtime partner, Betty Wheeler, Gayler and NCI staff, visited several NCI field research stations, beginning with a trip to Loja, the capital of Ecuador’s Loja Province, where NCI has an office. “It’s life-changing,” said Worden, a retired attorney, who specialized in land use, environment and government law for nearly 30 years. “To actually go in the field and see the environmental battlefront — beauti-

Photo by Charles Smith ful rainforests and critical dry forests with big swaths that have been deforested — and see NCI working right there, trying to turn the tide and preserve it, is incredible.” Of the many NCI projects Worden has learned about over the years, one that stood out, he said, is how the organization helped the community of Catacocha rehabilitate an ancient water system that sustainably supplied water to the town and its fields. The canals and ponds, which captured water from the nearby hills, were discovered by archaeologists but were gradually covered over by soil and left unattended for many years. NCI helped the town restore these canals to their original function, while conserving and reforesting the forested watershed areas that are the water source for the irrigation system. Until this project, which began in 2012, the rural farming community did not have sustainable agriculture. “It’s truly grass-roots, which is why they call it Nature and Culture,” Worden said. But NCI has even larger goals. The organization aims to save 20 million acres by the year 2020. “We feel this is the defining issue of our time,” Gayler said. “But we can’t grow without more funding.” The organization works in 15 regions. It costs NCI about $50,000 annually to open and operate a regional office, Gayler said. Over the next few years, the organization aims to triple the territory it covers,

The Andes-Amazon region of Latin America is a global hotspot for biodiversity, making it a top priority for conservation. Photo by Charles Smith extending from southern Colombia through Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia. To accomplish this, NCI hopes to establish 45 new regional offices while building the capacities of its existing ones. “If you believe that life on Earth is important, begin now to conserve it,” said Gayler, noting that according to current projections, the world is losing 2.5 percent of its rainforests every year. “We have a time limit,” added NCI president Swift, a Solana Beach resident and environmental lawyer who joined the staff in 2003. For more than three decades, he has worked to improve land and resource conservation and environmental policy, working with more than 50 groups in 12 countries. “We’re trying to save one of the most important resources on the planet.” The Andes-Amazon region of Latin America is a global hotspot for biodiversity, making it a top priority for conservation.

Not only is it home to an extraordinary array of plants and animals, but the region is also critical to the planet’s life-support systems, including the natural cycles that produce and renew air, water and climate. In recent decades, however, the tropical and dry forests of Latin America have withered under pressure from farming and logging. “Everybody has a sense of community,” Worden said. “For some people, their sense of community ends at their front door. For Ivan and NCI, it’s the whole world. “People need to take a look at their personal sense of community and recognize that it really should be the world. What goes on in Ecuador and South America is directly related to their quality of life, and the quality of life for their children and grandchildren.” For more about NCI or to donate, visit natureandculture.org.

TPHS grad helped call the plays for Arizona’s Super Bowl BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Jay Parry grew up in San Diego County’s smallest city, her career led her to the biggest arena in television sports. A Del Mar native, Parry served as president and CEO of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. The group worked with Arizona stakeholders and the National Football League on Super Bowl XLIX, which set a record as the most-watched show in television history. “It was really an opportunity for the state to shine,” said Parry, who weeks later, is still recovering from the festivities, but found time to talk with her hometown paper. “Having an opportunity to work on something that has such a positive impact for Arizona was really exciting to me.” The Parry family home was on Ocean View Avenue, where Parry and her two sisters grew up and attended local schools. Parry’s father, the late William Parry, worked as a reporter and an editor for U-T San Diego, starting with the paper when it was still the Union. Her mother, the late Gloria “Brooks” Parry, was active in Del Mar politics and served on the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which oversees the San Diego County Fair and Del Mar Racetrack. Although Parry no longer lives in Del Mar, her sister Robin lives in San Diego and her sister Piper recently moved back to the region from Australia. “We definitely think of Del Mar as the homeland,” said Parry, who graduated from Torrey Pines High School. After high school, Parry earned a bachelor’s degree in finance with a minor in marketing from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She began her career in San Francisco at Young & Rubicam advertising before moving to Bank of America, where she had a 17-year career, holding a series of executive roles in San Francisco, San Diego, Phoenix and Dallas. Her last position with Bank of America was as executive vice president of the 10-state Central Region. Beginning in 2004, Parry served seven seasons as president and chief operating officer of the Phoenix Mercury, a professional basketball team in the Women’s National Basketball Association. She helped lead the organization to two WNBA championships in 2007 and 2009. In 2010, Parry was hired as senior vice president of brand and business development of the National Basketball Association franchise the Phoenix Suns, where she oversaw marketing, ticket sales, and digital and social media. After two seasons, Parry left the Suns in 2012. Months later, she was named president and CEO of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. “It was exciting because it really suited my background of business and professional sports,” Parry said. Super Bowl XLIX was the state’s third Super Bowl, following the 2008 Super Bowl at the

University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale and the 1996 Super Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. The state has also hosted several college championship football games, three NBA All-Star Games, two WNBA All-Star Games and a Major League Baseball All-Star Game. “Arizona is an expert at hosting mega-events,” Parry said. Although Arizona has hosted a number of big events, hosting a Super Bowl is no small feat. Parry oversaw all aspects of the planning and execution of the 2015 Super Bowl. She recruited and led a 22-member full-time staff, as well as 10 interns, who worked on the Big Game for roughly two years. The group raised $30 million from the private, public and tribal sectors to execute Arizona’s plan to maximize media exposure and create economic impact. Jay Parry “Building a team from the ground up and really creating this team of all-stars, I would say, was really exciting for me,” she said. “I really loved the teamwork aspect in collaborating with my staff and all of the stakeholders in Arizona ... to make sure that Arizona really (shone) on a global media stage.” Because the group also set out to ensure a lasting legacy for the state, the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, in partnership with the NFL Foundation, gave $2 million to 27 Arizona nonprofits. Funding benefited education, health and wellness, sustainability and overall community enhancement programs to improve the lives of local youth and families. The city also achieved a 73 percent waste-diversion rate at the Verizon Super Bowl Central festivities, a first in the city’s history of hosting high-profile events. “It was the first time an event of this size had been undertaken,” Parry said. “We think that was a really good benchmark for future events and activities associated with the Super Bowl.” This year, the state also hosted the Pro Bowl, which in recent decades has taken place in Hawaii. “The Super Bowl gets bigger and bigger every year,” said Parry, who observed the games in New Jersey and New Orleans the previous two years. “The host committee acts as a hub and the catalyst to bring everybody together, galvanize the local stakeholders and work in partnership with the NFL. There are a lot of moving parts.” After two years of hard work, Parry felt “huge relief” when the big day finally arrived on Feb. 1. See BOWL, page 18

Two simple steps can save a life: RSF Fire Department San Dieguito Union High School District enrollment encourages residents to learn Hands-Only CPR workshops to be held throughout district in March When someone suffers cardiac arrest, every second counts. The longer a patient goes without Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), the less likely their chance of survival. Unfortunately, that is what happens all too often. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), 70 percent of Americans feel helpless during emergency situations and hesitate to act. To help ease fears and increase the chances of patients getting the assistance they need, the AHA has developed HandsOnly CPR. Hands-Only CPR involves two simple steps: 1. Call 9-1-1 and 2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest. “Too often bystanders do not offer aid to a patient because they can’t remember all the steps to traditional CPR, are afraid of doing it incorrectly, or are wary of giving mouth-tomouth breaths to a stranger,� said Mary Murphy, emergency services coordinator. “The goal of hands-only CPR is to simplify the process and encourage more people to attempt life-saving measures in emergency situations.� First, call 9-1-1 or assign someone to do so. Second, place one hand on top of the oth-

er, interlacing the fingers and push hard and fast in the center of the chest using the heel of the hand. To help CPR givers deliver chest compression at the correct intervals, the AHA recommends doing so to the beat of the song “Stayin’ Alive,� which is the equivalent of 100 beats per minute. Continue giving compressions, two inches deep, until help arrives. If possible, switch off with another person every two minutes. CPR is tiring and the longer you do it, the less effective your compressions will be due to fatigue. “It cannot be stressed enough that doing something is better than doing nothing,� said Murphy. “Even incorrect chest compressions are more effective than no chest compressions.� The RSFFPD also provides Hands-Only CPR instruction to community groups, homeowners associations, schools, churches, etc. To schedule a Hands-Only CPR training session for your group, please contact public education coordinator Julie Taber at 858-7566008. For more information about Hands-Only CPR and other life-safety information, please visit www.rsf-fire.org.

In spring 2014, the San Dieguito Union High School District asked a group of parents, students and staff members to examine various options on how to enroll students in local high schools and to seek public input on these options. The High School Enrollment Study Group met throughout fall 2014 and developed several options. The group is now seeking public input and feedback on the options. A series of workshops will be held on this topic from 6-8 p.m., and the public is invited. Workshop dates: • Monday, March 9, Earl Warren Middle School • Tuesday, March 10, Oak Crest Middle School • Thursday, March 12, Carmel Valley Middle School • Wednesday, March 18, Diegueno Middle School These workshops are not intended to discuss high school enrollment for the 2015-16 school year, nor will 2015-16 enrollment be addressed. Any changes in high school enrollment processes that may result from this process would not take effect until the 2016-17 school year at the earliest and would not affect any students already attending high school in 2016-17. Because of the interactive nature of these workshops and space restrictions, attendance is limited and registration is required to attend.

RSF Garden Club supports ‘Petals for Patriots’ at Camp Pendleton Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club members LaVerne Schlosser, Mary Jam and Shirley Corless participated in the Petals for Patriots program at Camp Pendleton. Through the program, local garden clubs donate their time and resources to provide flower arrangements and fruit baskets to the Wounded Warriors project in San Diego. Garden Club members met the morning of Feb. 19 to prepare the flower arrangements and fruit baskets. That afternoon, Schlosser and Corless drove them up to Camp Pendleton to be delivered. “The Marines are so appreciative that we remember them and so friendly when they meet us to receive their gifts,” Schlosser commented. The flowers used in the arrangements were generously donated by Dos Gringos Flower Company in Carlsbad. The RSF Garden Club donated the fruit baskets and rounded up the volunteers to put the packages together. The Garden Club will be delivering packages again in November and December. All those interested in supporting local Wounded Warriors are welcome to join the effort. The mission of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club is to further the development of charitable horticulture and charitable conservation activities, both within and outside the community of Rancho Santa Fe. For more information on club membership benefits and grant and scholarship programs, please call 858-756-1554.

Kerry Traylor, CEO and founder of College Strategy Experts, has teamed with the Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund committee to present a free community workshop on “How to Survive the High Cost of College” at 7 p.m. March 24 at the Torrey Pines High School Lecture Hall. The workshop is open to the community and will provide information about college admissions and financial aid that parents need to become informed consumers. To sign up visit www.tphssf.org. The Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund is a nonprofit that provides merit scholarships to TPHS students at the two- or four-year college, trade or vocational school or any accredited post-secondary education of their choice. “College costs have risen over 1,200 percent in the last 20 years, escalating more than those of any other U.S. good and service,” said Traylor. “In 2003, only two colleges charged more than $40,000 a year. In 2015, well over 100 colleges and universities are charging more than $60,000 a year. These institutions are bankrupting a generation of parents and students, and I am so honored to be able to help the TPHS students.” Since 1987, the scholarship fund has provided Torrey Pines seniors with scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,000. “Today, the volunteer, community-based scholarship organization raises an average of $30,000 per year,” said Mary Stromitis, co-president of the fund. Formerly known as Dollars for Scholars, the organization became independent in 2013. “This year, the nonprofit reaches its $1 million mark — having raised $1 million in scholarships since it was founded more than 28 years ago,” Stromitis said. A mother of three college-bound teens attending local schools, Traylor is well acquainted with astronomical college costs. As a graduate of Williams College and Tufts and Harvard universities, she uses her professional writing and editing skills to help students perfect their college essays. “Those essays translate into merit aid dollars,” she said. “They are the No. 1 tipping point in college admissions.” However, she finds that helping parents understand the complexities of financial and merit aid is also critical to reducing college costs. The aid systems have become so convoluted, she said, that “they tend to defeat even the most savvy parents and students. You wouldn’t ask a ‘Do-It-Yourself-er’ to wire a house because the stakes are so high. The same applies to financial and merit aid.” For every family attending the March 24 workshop, College Strategy Experts will donate $25 to the scholarship fund. “Our group’s mission is to provide scholarships for seniors,” said Karin Lang, co-president of the fund. “So whatever fundraisers we can hold that can help our students are a winwin. These kids are our future, and they deserve an affordable college education.” To register for the workshop, visit www.tphssf.org.

Bishop’s student hoping comedy stardom lies behind ‘Curtain’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK A longtime fan of “Saturday Night Live,” Liam Gaarder-Feingold hopes to one day star on the late-night comedy show. Until then, The Bishop’s School senior is getting his start on his high school’s stage. “I’m a big fan of ‘SNL,’” Liam said. “I’ve always had a fascination with writing comedy and thought, ‘I can do that.’” Along with his friend, senior Jack Kimmel, Liam began cowriting and co-directing a sketch comedy last spring. “Behind the Polyester Curtain” made its debut Feb. 27, with two additional shows Feb. 28 at the La Jolla school’s Black Box Theater. “This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this,” Liam said before the opening. “It’s been interesting.” Having written jokes and sketches since he was an eighthgrader, Liam began creating his own stand-up comedy routines two years later. Since then, he has performed stand-up comedy six times at the school’s talent shows. Now that he’s 18, he hopes to perform at The Comedy Store in La Jolla. “My stand-up comedy focuses a lot on my self-deprecating humor,” he said. “I talk about me and the things I do. My sketches are more absurd or outlandish. I go for the shock valLiam Gaarder-Feingold ue.” The roughly 90-minute show featured 14 sketches and one musical number. Planning for the show began last April. In August, Liam and Jack recruited a 12-member cast, including six male and six female students from The Bishop’s School. All are sophomores, juniors or seniors. “We were looking for people who could be creative, who were enthusiastic, and who could think on their feet,” said Liam, who makes cameo appearances in the show, along with Jack. The script was under constant revision until three weeks ago, Liam said. Since December, the troupe met weekly to fine-tune the sketches and rehearse. While a lot of the jokes were meant for students, teachers and parents of The Bishop’s School, some were also written for the greater public. One sketch, for instance, is about a student who studies abroad in England for a semester. When she returns, she has a British accent. “I hope the audience thinks it’s funny,” Liam said. “I also hope it inspires others to follow their passion, and do something new and creative.” Although his sights are set on sketch comedy, Liam is very involved in several programs

Cast of ‘Behind the Polyester Curtain.’ at his school. An honor roll student, he is a varsity water polo player and a member of the mock trial team. He has also been a member of the student government and remains active in the school’s theater program. “I’ve always enjoyed making people laugh,” said Liam, who has been in a number of school plays since he was in seventh grade. “I tend to feed off the audience.” After high school, Liam hopes to go to college in Los Angeles, where he plans to audition for The Groundlings, an improv and sketch comedy troupe and school that launched the careers of such performers as Jon Lovitz, Lisa Kudrow, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell and Taran Killam — one of his favorite “SNL” cast members. “It’s a totally new experience for me, but it’s something I definitely want to try to do in the future,” Liam said about the show. “I’m very passionate about it. Eventually, the big dream is to go on ‘SNL.’”

Village Church preschoolers learn about being germ-free Dr. Kelli Karches visited the Village Church Preschool and talked to the preschoolers about being germ-free. She demonstrated why hand washing is important, and showed how hand sanitizers can be an alternative when water is not available. The children also had fun learning how to use the stethoscope to hear their heartbeat. At the end of Dr. Karches’ visit, the audience took home goodie bags with emergency germ-free kits. Village Church Preschool is now enrolling. For information, contact director Pamela Miller at 858-756-2394 or email to pamm@villagechurch.org.

Former Falcons lacrosse star to visit TPHS with teammates for clinic BY GIDEON RUBIN Former Torrey Pines lacrosse sensation Lucas Gradinger is coming home, and he isn’t coming alone. Gradinger, now a sophomore midfielder for perennial national Division I collegiate power Maryland, will be joined by his Terrapins teammates who will spend a day at Torrey Pines High teaching their craft to local middle school students who hope to someday follow in their footsteps. The Terrapins, who will be in the area for a national showcase game against North Carolina that aims to promote the sport on the West Coast, will hold the clinic on the Falcons’ practice field. They’ll also use the facility March 21 to prepare for this year’s annual Pacific Coast Shootout at Santa Ana Stadium. Maryland will be on the Torrey Pines campus for their clinic and practice on March 19. Torrey Pines coach Jono Zissi, who is from Boston, brainstormed the idea for the clinic and practice at Torrey Pines with Maryland coach John Tillman, whom he knows from his own lacrosse playing days on the East Coast. Zissi said the Terrapins had already planned to tour the local Navy SEAL base earlier in the day, which made the visit to the Torrey Pines campus seem like a natural fit. That Gradinger plays for Maryland made the idea a slam-dunk. Gradinger concluded his distinguished Torrey Pines prep career in 2013 as a twotime All-American and was the 2013 U.S. Lacrosse Western Region Player of the Year. He tallied 291 points in four years on the varsity (144 goals, 147 assists) during his four-year varsity career. “He’s one of the most legendary players to ever come through Torrey Pines

High School, and for him to come back and for all our kids to visit with him and see how well he’s doing — that’s pretty special,” Zissi said. The Pacific Coast Shootout game will showcase a sport that’s grown exponentially in Southern California, and in San Diego County in particular, since it was introduced to the high school sports scene barely 10 years ago as a club sport and an officially sanctioned game shortly afterwards. Last season’s LaxMagazine.com final Top 10 for the West region featured two local teams (No. 5 Cathedral Catholic and No. 8 La Costa Canyon). Foothill of Santa Ana was the region’s top-ranked team. “Why do a clinic? It’s just a captive audience,” Zissi said. “These kids are so thirsty for these kinds of role models, this kind of instruction. “They read about them on the Internet, they know all the Maryland kids, the Duke kids, the Notre Dame kids (Duke and Notre Dame played in last year’s Pacific Coast Shootout) — so to actually bring that to them in our backyard for our Torrey Pines feeder program, it’s pretty special.” The Pacific Coast Shootout figures to attract lacrosse fans from throughout the Southland from Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire to the Mexican border, Zissi said. The game features two teams ranked in the NCAA’s top 25. North Carolina is ranked No. 4 and Maryland No. 10. “Just to bring the game to an area that’s dying to see high-level lacrosse is pretty special,” Zissi said. “Now that the game’s growing so much out here, a lot of Western kids are starting to go back (East) to play the sport in college, and this makes something that

OBITUARIES

Philip Louis Palumbo 1941 – 2015 Philip Palumbo, beloved father, grandfather and friend died on Presidents Day, February 16, 2015, with his family by his side as he ended a long battle with non-alcoholic liver disease while awaiting a liver transplant at Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital. He is preceded in death by Phyllis, Philip and

Thomas Palumbo. He is survived by Nanette Schwartz, his significant other; Carol Palumbo, mother of his three children, Jodie Palumbo, Philip R. (Kim) Palumbo and Jamie (Joey) Straza; and Phil’s pride and joy was being “Papa” for the last 18 years to his six grandchildren, Natalia, Jack, Philip, Julia, Bella and James. Phil was born on April 16, 1941, in Chicago, Illinois, and attended DePaul University as a member of Alpha Phi Delta Fraternity. He worked with his father and took over as partner of Rubber Right Products until 1977 when he ventured west to be a Swenson’s Ice Cream Franchise owner in Orange County, CA. In 1979, Phil moved to San Diego and opened his first McDonald’s in El Cajon. He, together with his family, grew to own and operate 34 McDonald’s franchises throughout San Diego

County. During his time as a business leader in San Diego, he served on the Ronald McDonald House Board of Directors and supported local schools and sports teams throughout the county. A Mass in memory of Phil Palumbo will be held by Father Mike Ortiz on Saturday, March 7, 2015, at 1:00 pm at Cathedral Catholic High School in the Saint Therese Chapel, 5555 Del Mar Heights Road, San Diego, CA 92130. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider a gift to Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, 2929 Children’s Way, San Diego, CA 92123, ww.rmhcsd.org or The American Association for the study of Liver Disease at www.aasld.org.

Former Torrey Pines standout Lucas Gradinger now plays for the Maryland Terrapins. He’ll return to Torrey Pines on March 19 when he and his teammates hold a clinic for local middle school students. Photo by Anna Scipione they’re all striving for tangible; it’s in their backyard and they can see basically what their dream is.” Kids on the West Coast have limited options to see high-level lacrosse live, Zissi said, noting that there is just one Division I collegiate program on the men’s circuit (University of Denver) west of Ohio State. The dearth of West Coast collegiate programs presents tough choices for athletes, Zissi said, noting that in addition to committing to the grueling demands of a Division I sport, they also have to commit to moving far away from home. “It’s crazy,” he said. “For all these kids coming out of high schools who want to play college lacrosse, you have to make two big decisions now: Do you want to play college lacrosse, and are you willing to move back east?” Lacrosse was recently added to several Pacific-12

schools on the women’s circuit, but men’s programs have yet to find funding for the sport, which Zissi said costs about four times as much. More-expensive helmets, gloves and shoulder pads are needed for the men’s game, which is much more physical and involves contact that closely resembles football and hockey. The women’s game, he said, is more similar to basketball and soccer. Title IX regulations present an uphill battle for the Pacific-12 Conference bringing in men’s lacrosse, Zissi said, noting that University of Michigan, which recently added the support, is requiring the sport to be self-funded at the cost of $7 million annually. Zissi believes the sport’s popularity will eventually drive the Pac-12 to adopt men’s lacrosse. “I’ve got to imagine that bubble’s going to burst sooner than later,” he said. “Between Stanford, USC, UCLA and Oregon, I can’t imagine five years from now that that’s not a Division I league.”

BY DR. SCOTT LIPPMAN When the director of the National Institutes of Health and the director of the National Cancer Institute speak with one voice, it’s time to listen. When they echo the words of the President of the United States, it’s time to act. In his State of the Union address, President Obama debuted his $215 million “Precision Medicine Initiative,” intended to accelerate progress toward a new era in medicine in which disease treatment and prevention are based upon each patient’s particulars, whether it’s minute differences in their DNA or variables in biological processes, such as how their immune system works. The initiative would “bring us closer to curing diseases like cancer and diabetes,” declared the president. Precision medicine promises to deliver “the right treatments at the right time, every time, to the right person,” he said. NIH director Francis Collins, who led the gamechanging Human Genome Project, and NCI director Harold Varmus, also a former NIH head and a Nobel laureate for his cancer research, could not agree more. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, they took note of the president’s enthusiastic support for precision medicine, discussed its challenges and debated its ultimate goal: to give everyone the best chance at good health. Such rhetoric might give one pause. The history of science is well marked by grand ambitions that have fallen short, and curing complex diseases is a decidedly difficult and daunting business. So it’s reasonable to be skeptical, to wonder about the feasibility of an idea like precision medicine. Can such a thing really be done? These are early days. Much remains to be done, such as collecting and interpreting the genetic information of 1 million Americans and translating basic discoveries into clinical benefit. But in some cases — and in some places — the future has arrived. For cancer research and treatment, specifically, precision medicine has become practiced medicine. The past

Dr. Scott Lippman decade or so have seen incredible, even radical, advances in the depth and breadth of our understanding of cancer. At the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, for example, the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy already performs advanced clinical-grade molecular diagnostics on any patient with advanced cancer where the physician feels such information may be relevant to the patient’s care. A weekly Molecular Tumor Board brings together doctors of multiple specialties, basic scientists, geneticists, bioinformaticists and experts from the San Diego Supercomputer Center to discuss patients with difficult cancers and how best to formulate the singular treatment most suitable for each of them. “If we examine tumors from patients with metastatic disease,” said Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., director of the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy, “we find that no two patients have the same portfolio of molecular/ biologic abnormalities. Patients have metastatic tumors that are ‘malignant snowflakes.’ Not only do they need drugs that target their tumor abnormalities with precision, each patient also needs therapies that are personalized for their particular tumor.” Last year, UC San Diego and La Jolla-based Human Longevity, Inc. began a collaborative effort to sequence the genome of every consenting Moores Cancer Center patient. HLI was cofounded by J. Craig Venter, Ph.D., a UCSD alumnus best known for his central role in sequencing the human genome. (Venter and Collins at the NIH are generally credited as being the primary drivers of that effort, with Collins directing a publicly funded program while Ven-

ter headed a company focused on the same effort.) Recently, Venter was invited to the White House to hear President Obama further elaborate upon the precision medicine initiative. He said the scene was evocative of his visit to the White House in 2000, when it was announced that the human genome had been successfully sequenced. It was inspiring. It felt like something big was happening. “Maybe bigger,” Venter said. “This was the president speaking. It was a larger stage. There were more players involved, including the FDA, and a bigger buy-in.” Often in science, the more you learn, the less you seem to know. Answering one question provokes 100 or 1,000 more. Such ought to be the case with cancer, but Venter believes we have reached a particular moment of profound opportunity. This next decade “will be the biggest decade of discovery in medical history,” he said. It remains true that the more we learn about cancer, the more we learn about what remains to be learned — the known unknowns, so to speak. But Venter argues persuasively that we have developed sufficient tools to do a job unimaginable just a few years ago, from highthroughput sequencing technology to managing massive amounts of Big Data that would boggle the mind. “Advances in genomics and other ‘-omics’ are going to sort out a lot of basic questions,” he said. “The costs and time of sequencing the human genome have dropped dramatically from $100 million and nine months when I sequenced the first human genome to less than $1,000 and one day. We can do a lot of things faster and cheaper.” The president’s initiative marks a beginning, especially in terms of treating and preventing cancer. At Moores Cancer Center, we’ve already started. — Scott M. Lippman, MD, is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.

BOWL

continued from page 7

A record number of people watched the New England Patriots defeat the Seattle Seahawks in the 28-24 game. NBC set a U.S. television record with 114.4 million viewers — up 2.2 million from the previous record, set at last year’s Seahawks-Broncos matchup. “Start to finish, the experience, the entertainment, was fantastic,” Parry said. “The game was also one of the most exciting Super Bowls of all time, so that was nice icing on the cake.” Although the game is now one for the books and the NFL season has long since ended, Parry and her team are still tying up loose ends. The Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee is conducting an economic impact study with Arizona State University. Based on an economic impact report from Super Bowl XLII in 2008, the committee estimates the event had an economic impact of more than $500 million in Glendale. The study should be completed by May, June at the latest, Parry said. At the same time, Parry is helping her staff find new jobs. She is also looking forward to her next chapter. “I’m just open to whatever comes next,” she said.

Succeed with the help of Casa in Orange County. More than 25 foster youths are involved in the scholarship program and have gone on to become successful college students. Learning to Succeed recently launched locally in San Diego with Voices for Children, and six students are on their way to achieving their scholastic dreams. Throughout the years, the Livingston Foundation supported a variety of organizations such as Stevens Cancer Center in San Diego, Casa de Amparo and Second Chance. They’ve worked with the Warwick Foundation to provide scholarships for students to attend Santa Fe Christian School and built homes in Tijuana. “There are so many great causes in San Diego, so each year we took our allocation and gave to those causes,” Susanne Livingston said. “Foster youth became a real passion starting in 2011.” The Livingstons found out about Just In Time through their business 10 years ago, when the organization was just starting up. A local real estate agent asked whether they had any donations of gently used furniture to help emancipated foster youth set up their first homes. The Livingstons had become familiar with foster youth issues through their support of San Pasqual Academy and their daughters’ participation in National Charity League. While San Pasqual helped guide foster teens though high school, Just in Time was covering that next step, for youth ages 18 through 26. Their involvement with Just in Time began with their College Bound program, where foster youth get Target gift cards to help outfit their dorm rooms and prepare to go off to college. The Livingstons went on a shopping spree with a girl named Veronica and built a relationship with the young student, who had an aptitude for numbers and aspired to be an accountant. They were able to hire Veronica as an intern for Residential Wholesale Mortgage while she was in school at Cal State San Marcos. After graduation, she was hired to work with them full time before she got a job using her accounting degree. Veronica just moved into her first home with her husband and newborn baby girl. Susanne Livingston said it is very rewarding to play a

The Livingston family. Courtesy part in helping a foster youth. “It’s not always a hand out, it’s a hand up, to help them live a better life,” she said. “If we can change the life of just one person at a time, it really makes a difference.” Just in Time helps young adults take care of themselves financially, and provides professional connections and mentorships as well as helping with basic needs or emergencies, such as when a car breaks down or help is needed to put down a deposit for a first apartment. Approximately 300 foster youth emancipate from the foster care system each year in San Diego County. Without financial or emotional support, 50 percent will become homeless during their first two years after exiting foster care; 60 percent of girls become pregnant within a few years after leaving; and 50 percent leaving foster care become unemployed. Livingston said that 70 percent of emancipated teens say they would like to attend college, but less than 50 percent graduate from high school — that’s what makes organizations like Learning to Succeed and Just in Time so important. “It’s all about developing a relationship with the kids and letting them know that people really care about them and want to help them achieve their educational dreams,” she said. “It’s important to have a community there that can support them, to support these kids when they need our help.” Just In Time provides a number of classes and programs, Livingston said, but it’s really about putting the young people in touch with role models and mentors who can start relationships that carry on for a long time. In the Livingstons’ case, they attended the wedding and baby shower for the “bright, energetic, capable” young woman they met that day at Target. And they weren’t the only mentors to have an impact on Veronica’s life — her baby’s godmother is another Just in Time mentor. Livingston’s daughter, Lauren, still exchanges text messages weekly with a foster youth named Tasha who got a scholarship to UC Berkeley while she was enrolled there. “It’s all the little pieces that really help. Sometimes you don’t know the extent of your help and what it’s done, but it can mean so much to them,” Susanne Livingston said. She said Just in Time does a “tremendous” job — but what really has made an impact in San Diego is all of the organizations working together for the benefit of all youngsters in foster care. “It’s pretty amazing,” Livingston said. “The community has really come together to help San Diego foster youth.” There are many ways to get involved, from serving as a mentor or participating in the College Bound program as Livingston did.

ego for the 21st century.” The new center has 108 private patient rooms, 59 intensive-care beds and six operating rooms, including two hybrid operating rooms and three cardiac catheterization labs, with room to add three more. (Catheterization is a procedure by which a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in a patient’s arm, upper thigh or neck and threaded to the heart to conduct diagnostic tests and heart treatments.) On floors three through seven are 17 negative-pressure (isolation) rooms that prevent cross-contamination between patient areas. The rooms are used to isolate patients with airborne contagious diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, chickenpox or Ebola. During his speech, Van Gorder paid homage to La Jolla benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps, who in 1924 established the original Scripps Hospital on Prospect Street. “I can absolutely tell you that Miss Ellen is smiling down on us today,” Van Gorder assured everyone. The center will continue Scripps’ more-than-three-decade collaboration with Kaiser Permanente cardiologists. Scripps’ 166 cardiovascular specialists serve about 76,000 heart patients per year, making Scripps the largest heart care provider in the region. Addressing the audience Feb. 26, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said the new center is a testament to San Diegans coming together to achieve great things. “The research and the teaching that is going to go on here is going to save thousands and thousands of lives across this country and indeed across the world, because of the techniques and technology to be pioneered here,” Faulconer said. The building’s design was shaped by input from more than 200 doctors, nurses, administrators, architects and staff. “That work is done,” Van Gorder told the crowd, “and now we hand it back to … these highly skilled people to start taking care of patients literally a week from now.” Van Gorder said completion of the Prebys Center fulfills a vision he had when he joined Scripps Health in 2000 “to see cranes on all the campuses,” heralding expansion of the Scripps Health system. The new center is a crucial component of a 25-year master plan unveiled in November 2010 that is transforming the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus. The master plan also calls for the replacement of the hospital to comply with California earthquake safety mandates. Other additions are the Scripps Clinic John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion, a $130 million medical building being constructed next to the institute, to be completed in March 2016. San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner, a La Jollan who gave birth to all three of her children at Scripps hospitals, said Scripps was one of the first outside parties to pay her a visit when she joined the City Council in 2008, to share plans for its cardiac center and its other La Jolla projects. “I am proud that Scripps continues to grow, invest and thrive in San Diego,” Lightner said, noting how Scripps’ expansion will create an array of jobs in the region and promote economic growth. “Once completed, this entire area will be a wonder to behold. … I can’t wait for the rest of the buildings in the master plan to come forward.” The new facility combines the cardiovascular programs of neighboring Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and Scripps Green Hospital, located next to Torrey Pines Golf Course. The nearby John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion will be linked to Prebys Cardiovascular Institute by two enclosed, elevated walkways. The Anderson pavilion will include doctors’ offices, patient exam rooms, four cath labs and 12 recovery rooms. Cardiologists practicing in the Prebys Center will have offices and see patients in the adjacent pavilion. Surgical facilities in the Prebys Center will be available, if needed, to patients undergoing procedures in the Anderson cath labs. Heart disease is the nation’s leading cause of death for men and women, claiming about 600,000 lives each year and accounting for 1 in every 4 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In San Diego County, nearly 4,000 people die of heart disease each year. For more information, visit scripps.org/SPCI

Singer-songwriter brings passion for folk music to event in Encinitas BY ROB LEDONNE He’s been praised by the likes of Johnny Cash and Pete Seeger, and come March 21, singer-songwriter John McCutcheon takes his folk act to the San Dieguito United Methodist Church in Encinitas. “The luxury of being a soloist is that I can take these short trips around the country whenever I want,� McCutcheon said from his home in Smoke Rise, Ga., which is just outside Atlanta. “Also, I’m able to keep my shows fresh. I can ad-lib and ‘When I get out of bed every morning, I can’t wit to do take requests, and that makes it more fun for the audience my job,’ says singer John McCutcheon. Courtesy photo and more fun for me.� McCutcheon should know how to keep it fresh. In his 43rd year as a professional singer-songwriter, he has navigated a changing music industry while retaining the same amount of passion he had when he was first starting out. “When I get out of bed every morning, I can’t wait to do my job,� said McCutcheon, who besides performing folk is also an accomplished producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and passionate consumer of music history. “Even though I’m on the verge of releasing my 37th album, I feel like I have never written, performed, or played better than I am now. I still feel like that 20-year-old college student.� It was when McCutcheon was attending a small university in the Minnesota area that he asked his college adviser if he could go on a three-month sabbatical performing music. His advisor said yes, and those three months turned into an entire career. “It was a three-month adventure to meet people who played the banjo as a way of life, not a hobby,� McCutcheon said. “I was blessed with the audacity of youth.� His latest album, which isn’t officially released until May but will be on hand as an exclusive preview during his show in Encinitas, is meant to honor the late Joe Hill, who was one of the first satirical lyricists in music history. “He wrote for an early 20th-century labor union,� McCutcheon said of the late folk singer, who died exactly 100 years ago this November. “Pete Seeger used to sing some of his songs, and I thought that since it’s been a century since he passed, someone should honor his memory.� As a result, McCutcheon poured “hundreds of hours� into the production of an album that rerecorded Hill’s music for an entirely new audience. “Most people don’t know him at all, but working in music isn’t always about hitting the right notes,� McCutcheon said of keeping Hill’s legacy alive. “It’s more than that.� McCutcheon is no stranger to performing in North County. For many years, he regularly appeared at the Old Time Cafe, a mecca for folk music formerly located in Leucadia, which closed in 1987. Since then, the organization San Diego Folk Heritage has continued holding folk shows in place of the legendary cafe. “The core of the audience in San Diego knows me well,� McCutcheon said. “I’ve played for the same group of people for 30 years. The reward for traveling to San Diego, and around the country, is that you get to play music. “

Let’s Review: ‘Chapter Two’ takes playful poke at love on its second time around

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY LOIS ALTER MARK North Coast Rep opened a four-week run of “Chapter Two,” Saturday night, the play that launched the Solana Beach theatre company back in 1982. There’s something ironic and fitting about the company going back to its roots with this aptly named production 33 years later. The Neil Simon classic debuted on Broadway in 1977 and was nominated for four Tony awards, including Best Play. Two years later, the playwright’s semi-autobiographical story was turned into a movie starring James Caan and Marsha Mason — who, as Simon’s second wife, was actually the inspiration for the female lead and who was nominated for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for her performance. According to North Coast Rep Artistic Director David Ellenstein, who stars in and co-directed “Chapter Two” with Christopher Williams, “There has been a ‘rediscovery,’ as it were, of the comedic skills, dramatic situation and great dialogue that propelled Neil Simon to become perhaps the most-produced playwright of the 20th century. There seems to be a full-out comeback for Mr. Simon’s canon of work.”

Maybe it’s a longing for a simpler, preInternet time when people actually spoke to each other and their sentences contained more than 140 characters. Both the story and the time period hold a cherished place in the hearts of a generation, and this new production brings its audience right back to 1979, evoking a sense of nostalgia that baby boomers in particular will appreciate. In the four-character play, George Schneider (Ellenstein) is a recently widowed New York City writer whose press agent brother, Leo (Louis Lotorto), is determined to get him back out into the world — and into the dating market. On the other side of town, actress Jennie Malone (Jacquelyn Ritz) has just gotten divorced, and her best friend, Faye (Mhari Sandoval), is trying to get her to move on and find someone new. Although neither George nor Jennie has any interest in meeting each other, they accidentally end up talking on the phone — and, after a choppy start, that’s when the story really comes alive. It gets to the audience and keeps them hooked through the ups and downs of the pair’s whirlwind romance, fast marriage and subsequent problems. There’s no question that the play itself feels dated. George writes on a typewriter and talks about spending $50 an hour for therapy and having a Fresca in the TWA lounge. Jennie’s Pucci print dress would now be considered vintage, and Simon’s one-liners have an old-fashioned Borscht Belt charm. In fact, on opening night, the biggest

David Ellenstein and Jacquelyn Ritz star in Neil Simon’s ‘Chapter Two’ at North Coast Repertory Theatre. laugh came when Lotorto tripped over the cord of George’s desk phone and, on his way out the door, turned around and ad-libbed, “Hey, and buy a new cordless phone, OK?” It was as if he had addressed the elephant in the room, and everyone could now just sit back and enjoy. The four actors — all of whom NCRT regulars will recognize — are excellent. Ellenstein and Ritz have a natural rapport best showcased during the couple’s initial phone conversations, which are warm and funny and set the foundation for their future together. Those scenes work especially well thanks to a fantastic set design by Marty Burnett, which splits the stage into his and her Manhattan apartments. The ’70s are powerfully brought back to life through the dead-on details provided by lighting designer Matt Novotny, costume designer Alina Bokovikova, sound designer Chris Luessmann, properties designer/set dresser Benjamin Cole, hair and wig designer Peter Herman and scenic artist John Finkbiner.

Dealing with love, grief and second chances, Simon’s story is timeless and universal. Despite technological advances and sites like Match.com, dating hasn’t changed much in all these years; and audiences will relate when George and Jennie agree, “No matter how old you get, this never gets easier.” They’ll also empathize with George’s inability to stop mourning the loss of his wife and will understand when he says, “Let’s take it one night at a time.” “Chapter Two” is certainly enjoyable and will probably appeal most to an older audience. If you’re looking for a modern touch, though, well, that only comes before the show starts, when everyone is asked to turn off their cellphones. You can bet that never happened during the original production. “Chapter Two” runs through March 29 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Local filmmaker focusing on women in music industry BY KRISTINA HOUCK Local filmmaker Meredythe Dee Winter is hoping her latest project will rock the planet. For two years, Winter has captured interviews with some of the most talented women in the music industry. Dozens of hours of footage later, she is now creating a television series called “She Rocks The Planet!� “Music is a universal language,� Winter said. “That’s why our show has something for everyone.� The pilot episode features Grammy-nominated singer, drummer and percussionist Sheila E. Other highlights include an interview with then-11-year-old “Hit Like a Girl� drum competition winner Alexey, and the history of Zildjian drums. “I am so thankful for the opportunity to create something that’s a little different,� Winter said. “This is the first series featuring women in the music industry. It’s never been done before.� An Encinitas native, Winter is an alumna of San Dieguito Academy, then called San Dieguito High School. She studied at MiraCosta College and Palomar

College before earning a bachelor’s degree in communications and visual arts at UC San Diego. Winter later earned a master’s degree in creative arts interdisciplinary studies at San Francisco State. As a child, Winter grew up acting, singing dancing and playing piano. She didn’t try her hand at filmmaking until she was a 17-year-old student at Palomar College. Her first film, “A Day in the Park or Bethena and the Tramp,� won first place at the California Student Media Festival. “That took me in a whole different direction,� she said. In the 1980s, Winter worked in Hollywood on various feature films, television shows and music videos, both behind and in front of the camera. She also developed an art education program for homeless and underserved youth at St. Vincent de Paul Village in San Diego. One of Winter’s most successful projects is “Planet X Television,� a syndicated TV show that launched in early 1995 on Prime Sports, now known as Fox Sports Networks. Winter was one

of the original creators of the show, which covers international action, alternative, adventure and extreme sports. “I love to create television; it’s one of my passions,� she said. “I’m a TV junkie and proud of it.� Winter first developed the concept for her latest television series after attending Women’s International Music Network’s 2013 Women’s Music Summit in Hollywood. After meeting founder Laura B. Whitmore and spending three days with female artists, she thought, “I think there’s a TV show here.� “It was the most remarkable three days with the most remarkable women,� she recalled. Since then, Winter has attended Women’s International Music Network’s second and third annual She Rocks Awards at the NAMM Show in Anaheim, filming honorees, present-

ers and performers. Winter shot initial interviews at the 2014 show, capturing about 30 hours of content in five days. She recently shot another 50 hours of footage at the third annual show in January. Using the footage, she plans to create 13 to 26 half-hour episodes. “I just love what I’m doing,� Winter said. “It’s very unique and it just makes me feel really good.� Each episode will feature a wellknown artist, an up-and-coming artist and a child prodigy, Winter said. Some of the artists she’s interviewed are Lisa Loeb, Lita Ford, Malina Moye, Orianthi and Vicki Peterson. Although the series is still in the works and hasn’t been picked up yet, Winter has no doubt it will be. “I’m so thankful that we’ve got a great show, we’re up on YouTube and people are

paying attention,� she said. “I just know we’re going to get a great deal.� The roughly 48-minute special, which premiered in October on YouTube, has so far won eight awards and has been selected for numerous film festivals. Winter also entered the premiere episode in the 36th annual People’s Telly Award, which honors the best film and video productions, Web commercials, videos and films, and local, regional and cable television commercials and programs. People can help choose the winners online at www.tellyawards.com/peoplestelly. “I have no idea exactly where everything’s going to go,� said Winter, who was recently selected as one of 300 producers to participate in Cannes International Film Festival’s Producers Workshop, a program designed for producers who have little or no experience with the festival or the international festival scene. “I’m going intuitively to create this show, and it just seems to be working.� For more about Winter and “She Rocks The Planet!� visit www.sherockstheplanet.tv.

Anthony Cerruti, Alex Lillian and DJ Nelson received an award for the Best CodeDay game program.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MARCH 5, 2015 - PAGE B5

Stephen Clark, Nicholas Clark and Ryan Nemiroff received the award for the Best Overall CodeDay application.

Local club members win awards for programming at CodeDay BY VIC WINTRISS Twenty-two teams of eager young programmers (more than 120 kids) gathered recently at CyberHive San Diego, a shared workspace incubator that delivers business and technical support to early-stage cybersecurity and high-tech companies. They gathered for CodeDay, a nonstop 24-hour sleepless sprint to produce the best computer program as determined by a team of local, professional judges. CodeDay consists of a series of student programming events held around the world, in 32 cities this year. It’s the world’s largest educational programming marathon. The teams are mostly made up of high school and college students with a few middle and grade school students. The League Of Amazing Programmers, a Carmel Valley after-school program that teaches kids the Java programming language starting in the fifth grade, entered five teams. The League teams came away with two of the three CodeDay awards presented, one for the best game program and the other for the best overall application. Anthony Cerruti, a sixth-grader from Palmquist Elementary School in Oceanside teamed with sixth-grader DJ Nelson and eighth-grader Alex Lillian, both from Rancho Santa Fe Middle School, to write a secret-door program to win the Best Game award. “The Door Game” requires a player to move around the screen with keyboard

control and find secret tools to unlock a door. Dramatic sound effects add sparkle to the game. “It was really fun to write,” said 11-year-old Anthony, who stayed up all night working on the game. Ryan Nemiroff, a 10th-grader at Sage Creek High School in Carlsbad, Stephen Clark, a senior, and his brother, Nicholas Clark, a seventh-grader both attending La Jolla Country Day School, worked as a team and won the Best Overall trophy for their “Grocery Guru” application. This app examines grocery receipts to predict when more items are needed for a particular recipe. It consists of an Android application for scanning receipts and receiving alerts and includes an SQL database for storing purchasing data. The students worked tirelessly all night to finish the job in time for the judging. “It was a great learning experience,” said Nemiroff. Clark has been accepted at Carnegie Mellon, MIT and CalTech for the fall semester. He plans to attend MIT and will be studying computer science. Other League teams made a website for learning HTML, a cellular automaton simulator, and a first-person adventure game using skills they learned by attending weekly classes at The League.

Earl Warren Seahawks win championship The Earl Warren seventh-grade boys Seahawks defeated Diegueno Middle School from Encinitas, 49-46, in the championship game of the San Dieguito Boys and Girls Club ‘Big Eight’ tournament on Feb. 26.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Encinitas prosthodontist’s work restores smiles to patients’ faces BY DIANE Y. WELCH Dr. Edward B. Coffey has such a longtime presence in Encinitas that loyal patients who have moved away from the area often come back for appointments, traveling from points afar to take advantage of his pain-free dentistry. A big factor in Coffey’s edge over other dentists is that he is able to offer his services in a facility that is comfortable, rather than clinical, and very calming for his patients while still being on the leading edge of dental technology. “I have all the toys,” he joked. These high-tech toys include digital X-ray machines, a microscope that allows both doctor and patient to see details clearly, and a 3-D CT scanner. In each operating room, video monitors broadcast satellite television and play music for patients to relax them, resulting in an ambiance that diminishes any anxiety that patients may be feeling. It’s all part of Coffey’s commitment to quality, which has found him serving more than 15,000 patients who have entrusted their dental care to him. A prosthodontist who has been restoring teeth for 35 years, Coffey holds a philosophy in his work founded in scientific evidence, historical success and keeping up to date with advances in his field. He has recently begun to offer patients the option of dental implants, which is an added convenience for his clients. “I am doing the surgery myself, so the patient doesn’t have to go to another surgeon’s facility to get the tooth implanted. It is all done here,” Coffey explained. Implants are the latest treatment option included in his specialty prosthodontist services, which include full-mouth restorations, bridges, root canals, and dentures. For health, appearance and self-confidence, Coffey offers teeth-whitening treatments, inlays and onlays, dental crowns, dental bonding and porcelain veneers. In addition, he provides the more traditional services of fillings and extractions, deep cleanings and routine preventive care, as well as sleep apnea appliances and nightguards Fluent in Spanish, Coffey was born in Boston, but raised in Guatemala City, Guatemala. After graduating with his DDS (doctor of dental surgery) from the University of San Carlos, Guatemala, in 1979, he continued his education at the University of Michigan, where he was awarded a full-ride scholarship because of his academic excellence.

In 1981, Coffey graduated with a master’s of science in prosthodontics. After graduation, he worked at the University of Michigan as an assistant professor teaching junior and senior dental students the art of fixed and removable prosthodontics. Coffey came to Encinitas in 1984. His first office was east of I-5 on Encinitas Boulevard. In 1992, he expanded his office when he moved to his current location at 1445 Encinitas Blvd. Dedicated to excellence in general and cosmetic dentistry, Coffey’s integrity with patients is paramount, he said. He will often treat patients who have made appointments expressly to get a second opinion. “I’m pretty straight with clients. I’m not going to sell them something they don’t really need,” he said. “For example, many times patients have been told that they need several fillings, then in reality end up only needing one.” Coffey is married with two adult daughters and three Dr. Edward B. Coffey grandchildren who all live in Encinitas. A private pilot, he enjoys camping and cars and is an avid golfer. When he’s not in his office, he can be found on the links at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, and with an upcoming residential move to Rancho Santa Fe, will probably be spending more time at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, he said. Respected by both his professional peers and his patients, Coffey credits his longtime success to his loyal client base who appreciate his practice of the art of painless dentistry. “When I give you a shot, you don’t know you have gotten it. It’s all about being considerate,” he said modestly. Visit www.encinitasdentalart.com to find out more about Dr. Coffey and Encinitas Dental Art or call 760-942 7272 to make an appointment.

The Village Church Community Theater presents “A Curious Savage,� a thought-provoking comic tale that will challenge you to discover again the values of kindness and affection lost in a world that seems motivated at times by greed and dishonesty. Ethel Savage, a new widow, has been left with a substantial fortune. Her three grown children — a senator, a judge and a gold-digger of a daughter — are intent on keeping her from disposing of it as she chooses. So they conspire to have her committed to a private sanatorium known as The Cloisters. There, Ethel is left to work out how she will deal with her spiteful offspring, while getting to know the colorful characters who live in the facility. “The Curious Savage,� by John Patrick, is a play filled with heart where the neglected virtues of goodness have not been entirely lost. It’s perfect for audiences teen through adult. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 20; 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 21; and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 22.

March 26 Spring Xposure fashion show to benefit Shelter to Soldier Shelter to Soldier will be the recipient of funds raised from the fourth annual Spring Xposure Fashion Show Event from 5-8 p.m. March 26 at Cielo Village in Rancho Santa Fe. The event will feature San Diego’s top fashion designers, from Nordstrom as well as local retail boutiques, for a celebration of fine fashion; gourmet food from select vendors; and live music by Wayne Foster Entertainment. Jagger and Kristi from Magic 92.5 will MC the event, and Nine10 Photo will document festivities. All proceeds will benefit Shelter to Soldier. The event will be hosted by FINE Magazine and Schubach Aviation. Shelter to Soldier is a California 501(c)3 nonprofit that rescues dogs from local shelters and trains them to become psychiatric service companions for post-9/11 combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain in-

jury and/or other invisible wounds associated with combat. Every day on average, 23 U.S. veterans commit suicide, according to the Department of Veteran Affairs. In the past year alone, the number of diagnosed cases of PTSD in the military jumped 50 percent, and this represents cases that have been diagnosed. Studies estimate that 1 in every 5 military personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan is suffering from PTSD. “We’re honored to be the recipient of funds from this extraordinary event that brings together a collection of dedicated sponsors and media partners to heighten awareness for animal rescue, the battle our troops face on the home front post-combat and our charity that directly benefits military veterans,” said Shelter to Soldier Founder Graham Bloem. “Our nonprofit organization is solely supported

COMMUNITY PHOTO CONTEST Junk Bonanza vendors sell only products that are 40 years or older, or goods upcycled or created with items of that age. Courtesy photo

Junk Bonanza bringing vintage pieces to Del Mar Fairgrounds from March 20-22 Junk Bonanza, a unique event for purveyors and shoppers of vintage finds, beautiful antiques and artisan-repurposed pieces is coming to the Del Mar Fairgrounds March 20-22. Juried Bonanza vendors sell only products that are 40 years or older or goods upcycled or created with items of that age—no other vintage show adheres to that standard. Founder Ki Nassauer has brought his show from humble garage sale beginnings to a twice-yearly event in Minnesota that attracts more than 12,000 visitors from across the nation. Nassauer is thrilled to be expanding and bringing this unusual event to California vintage fans. Vendors will stage artful vignettes with their merchandise including furniture, lighting, clothing, architectural salvage and inventively repurposed castoffs. Featured booths include a vintage wedding lab curated by Found Vintage Rentals’ Jeni Maus and celebrity wedding and event designer Jo Gartin, and a free workshop with Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan where attendees can get hands-on experience using the clay-based paint prized by DIY-ers and furniture refinishers. To celebrate the first non-Minnesota Junk Bonanza, there will also be memorabilia on display from the California Surf Museum and a gathering of vintage Volkswagen buses. The Bonanza will be held in O’Brien Hall at the Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. A special $25 early bird ticket can be purchased online that allows entry two hours before the general opening on Friday. Early-bird entry tickets are $30 at the door and regular admission is $10.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MARCH 5, 2015 - PAGE B17

Two new exhibits at SD Museum of Art The San Diego Museum of Art announces the opening of two exhibitions starting March 28: “Divine Desire: Printmaking, Mythology and the Birth of the Baroque,” and “Lalla Essaydi: Photographs, 2005–13.” “Divine Desire: Printmaking, Mythology and the Birth of the Baroque”: Featuring more than 70 exquisite engravings produced in Northern Europe and Italy in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, this exhibition features prints by leading artists of the era including Hendrick Goltzius, Jacob Matham and Albrecht Dürer. Each print features moralizing and instructive imagery that revolves around the mythology of classical antiquity and the romantic entanglements of Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. Printmaking was a highly used medium for artists in the late 16th century because its portability and mass-production offered the rare opportunity to reach a broad audience. “Divine Desire” explores these creative achievements and what led to the development of the Baroque Age in Northern Europe. The exhibition is composed primarily of works from The San Diego Museum of Art’s Permanent Collection, home to a high-quality printmaking collection; on view from March 28 to June 30. “Lalla Essaydi: Photographs, 2005-13”: This show features 10 large-scale photographs from Moroccan-born, New York–based photographer Lalla Essaydi. The internationally acclaimed artist is known for her work exploring the issues surrounding the role of women in Arab culture and their representations in the Western European artistic tradition. The photographs are based on 19th-century Orientalist paintings, but work to subvert those traditional stereotyped and sexualized representations. Each image requires weeks of preparation, as the architectural backdrops are carefully constructed, the text is composed and fabrics are dyed to match the setting. The entire field of the almost life-size photographs appears in sharp focus, a result of her use of a large-format camera and traditional film. Ten works from three different series by the artist — “Les Femmes du Maroc,” “Harem” and “Bullets Revisited” — will be shown throughout the museum. Several will be on display in a dedicated gallery, while others will be in the Museum’s Permanent Collection next to related European paintings and examples of historic Middle Eastern tilework and calligraphy; on view from March 28 to Aug. 1. Visit www.SDMArt.org.

Athenaeum to host special spring concert series Violinist Victoria Martino will present a series of distinctive concerts in March at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. At 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 6, Martino and pianist James Lent will perform “Johannes Brahms: The Complete Works for Violin and Piano,” including the three canonical sonatas in G major, A major, and D minor, the fiery C-minor Scherzo from the “F-A-E” Sonata, and the composer’s rarely heard transcriptions of the two clarinet/viola sonatas in F minor and E-flat major. Tickets: $30 for members; $35 nonmembers at ljathenaeum.org/specialconcerts.html Also, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays starting March 17 through April 14, Martino will host a five-week lecture/ concert series with the Musica Pro Arte Ensemble titled “Art and Music of the Baroque: From Ecstasy to Enlightenment.” The concerts are themed as follows: • March 17: 1580-1620 in Italy, Germany and the Netherlands Painters Michelangelo da Caravaggio, the brothers Caracci, and Peter Paul Rubens found their musical counterparts in the composers Claudio Monteverdi, Giulio Caccini and Heinrich Schütz. • March 24: 1600-1700 in Italy The art of Gian Lorenzo

‘Polish nobleman’ (1637) Rembrandt. National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Bernini, Guido Reni and Pietro da Cortona was matched by the music of Claudio Monteverdi, Dario Castello, Girolamo Frescobaldi and others. • March 31: 1600-1660 in Holland Rembrandt represents the rise of the individual in an environment dominated by religious fervor. His countryman, the blind organist Jakob van Eyck, absorbed the popular music of England and the European continent, transforming simple melodies into complex and elaborate sets of variations. • April 7: 1650-1700 in France and Germany The 17th century marked the ascendancy of France under the reign of

Louis XIII and Louis XIV, becoming the dominant cultural force in Europe. At the same time, the German Empire gained new strength through conquests in Eastern Europe. French artists such as Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain were paralleled by composers Denis Gaultier and Louis Couperin. Jean-Baptiste Lully was a great innovator in the realms of opera and ballet. In Vienna, international composers like Marc Antonio Cesti and Jakob Froberger were active in the court. In the North, the Protestant Church rose to prominence, producing composers such as Dietrich Buxtehude. • April 14: 1680-1750 in Europe The works of painters Johann Quirin Asam, Antoine Watteau, and Sebastiano and Marco Ricci reflected in visual terms the musical discoveries of Georg Friedrich Händel, Johann Sebastian Bach, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Domenico Scarlatti, and Antonio Vivaldi. Through the arts, one could experience the new self-assured image of humanity arising from the previous century, and creating the foundation for the coming Enlightenment. — Series tickets are $90 for members and $115 for nonmembers. Individual tickets are $20 for members, $25 for nonmembers at ljathenaeum.org/lectures.html. Call 858-454-5872.

How the Strong Dollar Affects Investments The US. dollar has been steadily on the rise lately, reaching 4-year highs as it continues to gain value against foreign currencies. As an example, Barclays predicts that the value of the euro will drop to $1.10 sometime this year, as compared to its $1.35 value last July. The reason the dollar

is so strong right now is not necessarily a result of what’s going on with our economy, but is more due to the struggling economies in the rest of the world. And while historically, the fluctuation of the dollar has not drastically affected the stock market, it is a good idea to be conscious of what dangers might come if the dollar continues to strengthen and also to be aware of what great opportunities might be in front of you. The Cons Taking the biggest hit are the large, global companies based here in the U.S. Converting their foreign profits back into US dollars is resulting in declining profits. For example, 3M said recently that the

strong dollar will result in a reduction of total sales in 2015. Converting foreign sales back to dollars is like selling their products at a discount. Coca-Cola, McDonalds and Philip Morris are among other multinational companies that are expected to suffer from missed earnings estimates. In fact, any U.S. based company that relies heavily on exports is being affected. The strong dollar makes their goods and services more expensive compared to foreign competitors, and overseas consumers will undoubtedly respond to the price difference. Therefore, companies where a majority of the business occurs outside the U.S. will likely see reduced returns.

Other markets that will be negatively affected are commodities, the energy sector, and technology. In general, a strong dollar is bad for commodities, like oil and steel for example, because it makes them more expensive. Energy and materials companies, like Chevron and Sonoco (which does consumer packaging) will feel the affects of more costly commodities. And just as with the forecasts for energybased companies, technology stocks have also seen lowered expectations as both industries are focused internationally.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MARCH 5, 2015 - PAGE B19

3-day music festival hits wrong note with Del Mar City Council, some residents BY KRISTINA HOUCK A three-day music, food and drink festival is headed to the Del Mar Fairgrounds — and the city of Del Mar had no clue. Announced last week, the inaugural Kaaboo Del Mar festival features seven stages and more than 100 music acts and performances over the weekend of Sept. 18-20. But when the public first heard about the star-studded lineup, so did Del Mar. “We weren’t aware of it, and we weren’t happy with it either,” said Mayor Al Corti, in response to residents who have questioned why they didn’t have a heads-up. Concerned about noise, traffic, safety and other potential impacts, Del Mar resident Robin Crabtree asked the council to protect the community. “I’m a little disappointed that this is already going,” Crabtree said. “It’s already out there, you can already buy tickets and this is the first that the Del Mar residents are hearing about it. “I look to you, council members, to please protect us.” City Manager Scott Huth said he received a call from a festival representative on March 2, seeking to set up a meeting with a council member and city staff the following Monday, March 9. Huth said he has also talked with sheriff’s Capt. Theresa Adams-Hydar about the city’s safety concerns. “We really don’t have a lot of information,” Huth said. “That’s our problem. That’s our issue with the fairgrounds and the Kaaboo organizers.” The 22nd District Agricultural Association Board approved a $1.95 million contract with HorsePower Entertainment, the festival’s organizer, at its Feb. 10 meeting. At that time, Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the association, said that after expenses for security and other services, the district should generate more than $1 million in revenue from food and beverage sales, parking and other sources. Also, he said the festival would provide an economic boost for local hotels, restaurants and other businesses. “There are impacts to our community, and we’re not seeing the benefit,” Corti said. “To the extent they can sit there and say, ‘We’re going to get a couple extra hotel rooms and a couple of people in the restaurants,’ doesn’t cut it from my perspective.” Corti, who now serves as a council liaison on the 22nd District Agricultural Association Community Relations Committee, noted he attended his first meeting the day before the festival was announced, yet the event was not discussed. Council members from Del Mar and Solana Beach, and representatives from the district sit on the committee. “That bothers me,” Corti said. “There doesn’t seem a desire, on the fair board, to have this discussion with the community. “It continues to go on. They continue to have whatever events they want. They deal with the impacts as they see fit. And they say, ‘By the way, we’re coming into your community.’ I just don’t think that’s right. I don’t know how to fix it, but I know by being silent about it, it’s not going to get addressed.” Corti plans to address the issue at the next Community Relations Committee. He or another council member will also join city staff in a meeting with the festival promoter next week. Corti and city staff plan to update the full council on the matter at the next meeting on March 16.

What will the music festival offer?

According to a press release, the lineup includes over 100 musical acts including No Doubt, The Killers, Zac Brown Band, Snoop Dogg, Foster the People, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Spoon, The Roots, Sheryl Crow, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and Slightly Stoopid. The KAABOO comedy club will feature comedians such as Joel McHale, Lewis Black, Anthony Jeselnik, Jeff Garlin and Tim Meadows. “KAABOO aims to be more than just a typical music festival: It hopes to be a new kind of arts and entertainment “mixperience” designed around comfort, quality and good times. Created by music lovers for music lovers, the festival provides an “adult escape” with worldclass music, dancing, incredible cuisine, craft libations, inspiring contemporary art and personal indulgences. “Every detail is designed for a clean, comfortable festival experience with fewer lines, ample seating areas, restaurants and service plazas. A Sunset Cliffs main stage will offer premium cabanas for rent and an elevated view of performances with a beach zone, exclusive bar and beach volleyball court. Posh Nosh, an upscale food plaza, will offer gourmet graband-go foods. Featured eateries and wineries have yet to be announced. “KAABOO indulgences include henna tattoos, massages and hair and nail services. People can enjoy a glass of handcrafted small-batch bourbon, drive golf balls on a simulator or do some virtual surfing. A contemporary art fair will feature regional and national artists, and a dance venue will host a late-night dance party from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. for guests 17 and up. One dollar from every pass sold will be split among Feeding America San Diego, the San Diego Music Foundation, Operation Amped, and Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter. Attendees can make an additional charitable contribution when purchasing their passes. KAABOO will match every additional contribution made, dollar for dollar. Ticket packages are now on sale from general three-day access passes to VIP passes. Visit kaaboodelmar.com.”
