RSF Association board to discuss tax form errors

By Joe Tash Discrepancies in the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s annual federal tax form will be discussed by the Association board in closed session Thursday, March 6, followed by a public statement on the matter by the board. (The March 6 meeting takes place after press time for this newspaper. Look for a report on the meeting in next week’s Review — March 13 issue — or online at www.rsfreview.com.) Each year, the Association, as a tax-exempt organization, must file a Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service. The form details an organization’s revenue and expenses, including compensation for employees earning over $100,000, along with other information. The Association’s three most recent Form 990s are posted on its web site. Discussion of the tax form comes against a backdrop of upheaval within the Association. Last month, the Association board voted 5-2 to strip the board presidency from director Ann Boon, citing a loss of confidence in her leadership. In addition, longtime manager Pete Smith went out on indefinite sick leave. The topic of the tax form discrepancies first came up at a recent board meeting, said Ivan Holler, who was appointed acting manager in Smith’s absence. The issue was discussed by the Association’s Finance Committee, which made a recommendation that will be considered by the Association board. According to Larry Spitcaufsky, an Association board member who sits on the Finance Committee, two apparent errors were discovered on the form covering the Association’s 2012-2013 fiscal year: one had to do with whether the Form 990 was distributed to the Association board before being filed, and the other regarding whether a compensation survey was conducted to establish the manager’s pay and benefits. The form indicated both things had been done last year, when they actually had not, Spitcaufsky said. (A compensation survey was conducted the year before, he said.) Newly appointed board president Philip Wilkinson wrote last week in a column in the Rancho Santa Fe Review that, based on opinions by legal counsel and the Association’s outside counsel, “the purported errors in the Form 990 filings appear to be merely clerical in nature; they do not have any effect on the Association’s finances and they do not appear to expose the Association to liability.” The Finance Committee basically concurred with Wilkinson’s assessment, said Spitcaufsky. “Based on the opinion letter from the attorney, this is not a thing to be overly alarmed about,” he said.

By Joe Tash The proposed sale of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club building to the Rancho Santa Fe Association for $2.4 million still has a number of hurdles to clear before it goes through, club members were told at an informational session on Feb. 26. “We’re not halfway there yet,” RSF Garden Club Executive Vice President Steve DiZio told the group of about 30 people who turned out for the meeting at the club building. Among the approvals still needed are a second vote by the Association membership, another vote by Garden Club members, and a sign-off by the state Attorney General’s office. Although Association members voted overwhelmingly in favor of the purchase agreement last year, a petition turned in on Thursday, Feb. 27, has triggered a vote on whether to overturn the Association board’s 4-3 approval of the deal on Feb. 6. The RSF Association has verified that the 100-signature threshold has been met, so a vote of the membership will be held. Date is still to be determined. Lisa Bartlett, who turned in the petition to the Association and helped gather signatures, said she voted for the proposal last year and has not decided if she would support it again. But she said members should make the final decision about the purchase once all the information is in, including an updated appraisal, which should be completed within the next couple of weeks. “When we’re talking multi-million-dollar deals, the membership should have a vote, rather than it be decided by the board of directors,” she said. Some of the 170 members who signed the petition actually favor the deal, some want more facts and some are opposed, Bartlett said. “I believe it’s a very mixed bag.” She noted that three of the seven Association board members also favored a vote by the Association members on the final outline of the deal. RSF Garden Club officials said they also must allow their members to vote on the proposal again, due to changes in the agreement since the last vote, when 92 percent supported the deal. “We want this to be transparent,” said Garden Club board member Fred Wasserman. The proposed purchase price was established following two independent appraisals. The third appraisal, now underway, will both assess the overall fairness of the deal and update the earlier appraisals. Supporters of the deal, including Garden Club officials, said the sale to the Association of the 6,000-squarefoot building, located directly across the street from the Association office, would preserve the building for community use, allow the club to focus on philanthropy instead of managing the property, and create a “Community Enhancement Fund” that could make grants to worthy causes. But some in the community have questioned whether the Association should spend its money on the purchase. Last April, 667 of 785 votes — or 85 percent — supSee CLUB, page AA2

‘Mardi Gras with the Beach Boys’ event benefits arts programs at Cathedral Catholic High School By Diane Y. Welch On Saturday evening, March 1, 500 guests at “Mardi Gras with the Beach Boys,” a fundraising affair to benefit the arts programs at Cathedral Catholic High School (CCHS) and Notre Dame Academy, sang along with, and danced to, a medley of music from the nostalgic hits of the Beach Boys with actor John Stamos as guest percussionist. Held at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, the event was a sell-out. (See more event photos inside.) Using a carnival theme, volunteers – led by event chair Janet Cruzon with Debby Rosenberger and Jennifer Kelly – set up dramatic table decor and arranged scores of silent auction items for a 5:30 p.m. reception, which was followed by dinner and a private concert in the Aragon Ballroom. Two members of the Beach Boys — Michael Edward Love and Bruce Johnston — arrived early in the afternoon while the event preparations were underway to rehearse and to meet and greet with the press. Love, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, who is a strong proponent of private schools and especially the arts in education, spoke about the event and why he was there. “My wife, Jacquelyne, and I often try to help private schools with their fundraising goals See BEACH, page AA3

Fire damages outbuilding in RSF On Sunday, March 2, at 1:24 p.m., firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District responded to a report of smoke in the area of Via De La Valle and Calzada Del Bosque. As they approached the scene, firefighters could see a column of smoke and upon arrival at the scene found a vehicle fully involved in flames under the carport of an outbuilding. Firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to the rest of the outbuilding, but the carport and adjacent bedroom did sustain some heat and fire damage. No one was in the building at the time. Crews remained on scene for about two hours performing salvage and overhaul work. Solana Beach Fire Department assisted on the call. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

CLUB continued from page 1 ported the deal. A new vote by Association members will cost about $7,000. Rich Cusack, who attended the Garden Club meeting, said the proposed deal is a “community win” because it allows local residents to have use of the Garden Club facility, provides additional parking for Association use and creates the charitable fund. “I think this is a critical asset, uniquely located, right in the heart of the village,” Cusack said. DiZio said he is disappointed by the opposition that has come up, but acknowledged that Association members must approve of the deal. “If the community doesn’t want it, we can’t force them to take it,” he said. Under the terms of the proposed deal, the Garden

TAX continued from page 1 In the future, Spitscaufsky said, outside auditors preparing the form must be sure to check the proper box, indicating whether the form was distributed to the board, and whether a compensation survey was conducted that year. But some in the community were troubled by the inaccurate information in the form. Association member Terry Peay said Boon had asked her fellow board members if they had received the Form 990, and none of them had. “Based on the public testimony of the board of directors, that information (on the Form 990) is inaccurate,” he said. Peay said he believes the Association should bring in an independent reviewer — rather than its long-standing legal and

Club would have priority use of the building for 14 days each year, and could hold additional events if space is available. The group would lease a basement area that houses its resale shop, and also be able to use upstairs office and storage space. A recently added provision would allow the Association to terminate the agreement with a majority vote of the membership. Proceeds of the sale would establish the “Garden Club Community Enhancement Fund” with the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, and a committee of Association, Garden Club and Foundation members would review grant requests. According to the presentation by DiZio on Feb. 26, if the deal goes through, the Garden Club would be able to spend between $80,000 and $300,000 per year on charitable causes. Bartlett said Asso-

ciation members need to weigh in on whether the money should be spent on the Garden Club, or other projects that have been discussed in the community such as a pool and exercise center, bringing recycled water to the golf course, or purchasing open space. She said she hopes that if the vote goes forward, members will receive a neutral analysis from the Association, along with pro and con statements by supporters and opponents. If the deal with the Association does not go through, DiZio said, the club could end up putting the building on the market, with the potential that it could come under private ownership, and cease to be available to the community. The club would also have fewer restrictions on using proceeds from the sale, he said.

financial advisers — to determine which information in the tax filing is incorrect, and why. The review would also look at how the manager’s compensation was set. Spitcaufsky said the compensation survey affects only the manager’s salary, so it doesn’t need to be conducted every year. The Association just needs to make sure that if a survey is not conducted in a given year, the Form 990 reflects that accurately, he said. As to the wider issues, Peay contends that Boon was removed from the presidency — she remains on the board — because she asked during a public meeting for information on employee compensation that should be readily available to both the board and Association members. “The board ought to have complete access to any employee’s contract and be

fully informed about any compensation paid to any of (the Association’s) employees. You can’t have good governance if that’s not the case,” Peay said. The Association collected $5.4 million in membership assessments for 2012-1013, according to last year’s Form 990. Eight employees earned salary and benefits over $100,000, including Smith, whose compensation was $271,181, plus non-taxable benefits of $18,983. Spitcaufsky denied any lack of transparency by the Association regarding employee compensation. “As treasurer, anything I’ve ever asked for I’ve received. I’m totally aware what the compensation is,” he said, and believes the other board members are as well. “It’s available. Quite frankly, I don’t understand what that concern is.”

Bob ‘Sully’ Sullivan passionate about accomplished radio career BY KRISTINA HOUCK When Bob “Sully” Sullivan talks, people listen. A San Diego native and longtime local resident, Sullivan is “a bit of a crusader” for his hometown on his KOGO-AM 600 radio show, “The Coalition with Bob ‘Sully’ Sullivan.” “I was born and raised here in San Diego,” Sullivan said. “I think I can make a difference. I’ve got a really good platform to make a difference. That’s why I’m a bit of a crusader for what goes on here.” Sullivan was a driving force behind the recall effort of former Mayor Bob Filner, who he nicknamed “The Emperor.” To collect signatures to get Filner booted from office, he hosted “Sully’s Petition Drive Thru” in August at the radio station. “We can fully take credit for planting that seed for Bob Filner and starting the Recall Bob Filner Campaign,” Sullivan said. “We had 2,000 people in front of the studio the day he resigned.” Sullivan also wasn’t shy about his support of Mayor-elect Kevin Faulconer. He urged his listeners to vote for the San Diego City Councilman and mayoral candidate. “For me, Kevin Faulconer was the right guy. Not because politically he’s the right guy — although I think he is — but David Alvarez is 33 years old. … He could have created 30,000 jobs in San Diego and been exactly down the pipe politically with me, but he is 33. You can swing a dead cow over your head and hit somebody that has more leading experience than a 33-year-old.” When he’s not live from 3-7 p.m. on KOGO, fans can also hear Sullivan on “The Big Biz Show,” a nationally syndicated show simulcast weekdays on about 1,500 domestic radio stations (as well as on the American Forces Network

Bob “Sully” Sullivan Courtesy photo heard in 175 countries and on ships at sea) while simulcast daily in 52 million television homes. “Business is kind of in my DNA. I look at everything through the lens of business,” said Sullivan, who co-hosts the business radio show with local broadcast personality and comedian Russ T. Nailz. “This show, even though it has a bigger audience, it’s easier for me because I don’t really have to prep this show. I’m already looking at it anyway.” Sullivan has been on the radio for nearly two decades. Before he got his start in radio, he worked as a newspaper publisher in San Diego in the late 1980s, then became active as an intermediary in the venture community and later became an investment-banking consultant. Becoming “somewhat of an expert in the stock market,” Sullivan was asked to be a guest on a radio program on KCEO, which was San Diego’s original business talk station. “A week later they asked me if I wanted to do my own morning show a couple days a week,” Sullivan recalled. Three months later, he landed an opportunity at KSDO. “In six months, I went from not being on the radio to being on afternoon drive in the eighth largest market — the luckiest radio career on the planet,” Sullivan said. From entrepreneurs Steve Jobs and Steve Forbes, to celebrities George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey, Sullivan has conducted countless interviews in his 18 years on the radio. Whether interviewing and talking about business on The Big Biz Show, or taking listener phone calls and chatting about San Diego on KOGO, Sullivan has one goal: to make his listeners smarter. “When you get to where you’re going after listening to me, I want you to leave smarter than when you started,” Sullivan said. “When somebody hears me on the air, it’s got to be, ‘OK, if he’s talking, I need to listen to this guy. I need to listen to what this guy has to say.’ And not because I’m always right, but because I can make you smarter.” Although he is proud of the longevity of his radio career, his greatest accomplishment is being the father of his 19- and 21-year-old daughters, Sullivan said. “I tried to raise them as boys,” said Sullivan. “Their mom and I did a great job. They came out as two beautiful, snarky ball-busters. They’re both unbelievable kids.”

SULLY continued from page 2 When he’s not on the radio or spending time with his family, Sullivan is often playing guitar and piano in his band, Blue-Eyed Soul. Sullivan formed the band with band mates Kevin Cooper, Tripp Sprague, Mark Hattersley and Ernie Becquer about seven years ago.

The goal is get straight ‘A’s’ across the disciplines,” said Laaperi. The Beach Boys celebrated their 50th anniversary with a tour in 2012. This spring marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the hits “Fun, Fun, Fun” and “I Get Around.” Next year will be half century anniversaries for “California Girls” and “Good Vibrations,” all songs which were part of the line-up for the evening’s concert, along with “Kokomo” which was released in 1988.

Joining the Beach Boys band on stage was actor and musician John Stamos, who has been a longtime fan of the group and has played with them since 1985 through six of his television series, said Johnston. Stamos — who initially found fame as lead character Jesse in the sitcom “Full House” — plays guitar, drums and other percussion instruments. Johnston had driven down from his home base in Santa Barbara for the event. He spoke of the timeless appeal of the Beach Boys hits. “Music has no wrinkles to it, it doesn’t age like we do,” he joked. Johnston, who has raised four children and has three young grandchildren, said that he misses being around kids, and fundraising events like these help him reconnect with them and make a difference.

From San Diego to Spokane, young sports anchor inspired by father’s legacy BY ROB LEDONNE It’s a Tuesday afternoon in Spokane, Wash., and Bryan Fenley has some rare time off. “My workdays are typically full of adrenaline,” said Fenley, who is the weekend sports anchor and a reporter for KREM, the city’s TV news affiliate. Fenley, who grew up in Rancho Santa Fe and only graduated from Santa Fe Christian High School in 2007, is the youngest person at the station. “When I was first applying for jobs, I thought I’d shoot big and send my tape out to some medium-size markets,” Fenley explained about his decision to submit to KREM. “My boss wound up liking my tape and voice, and he gave me my big break. I’ll be forever grateful.” Fenley covers both local and national sports in Spokane, and has a deep passion for his profession; a passion that stretches back to his childhood and is rooted in tragedy. When Fenley was just 11 years old, his father, Joe, was diagnosed with cancer. “My dad grew up so poor some nights he didn’t even have food on the table,” Fenley said of his family’s roots. “He battled through his upbringing, got a degree, and was able to become so successful he was in charge of a company (Gateway Freight Services) which, at its apex, had 1,000 employees.” His father’s illness turned Fenley’s family (which includes sister Grace and mother Gigi) upside down, and rocked his teenage years. “His sickness really affected us a lot, but it’s how I got into sports,” he remembers. “When he was ill, all I could do was watch sports with him. We were big local sports fans. Since my dad went to Ole Miss, we are big Ole Miss fans as well. We watched hours and hours of sports.” Even if Fenley didn’t know it at the time, a seed was planted and his interest in sports journalism grew from there. “My dad had to fight for his life growing up, and then fight with cancer,” said Fenley. “The will to fight to be successful has lived on in me since.” When Fenley was just 16, his father died from the dis-

ease and while the first few years were full of grief, he fought through it and realized he needed a new start. The new beginning he was looking for emerged in 2007, when Fenley joined the freshman class at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and a hobby hosting a show at the college radio station led to his current gig. “There was a producer from the local NBC station there, and I had this urge to get on the air so bad,” Fenley said. Fresh out of college, Fenley started writing sports copy for WXII in Winston-Salem, NC (a top market), and from there found himself in Spokane. “So many kids want to get into sports, and I can’t tell you how many people doubted me and told me I couldn’t make it,” says Fenley. “There were so many critics and I used that as fuel.” The critics that doubted Fenley must be having second thoughts now, as he has taken KREM by storm and is living his dream in the process. “Every day we’re shooting, writing, and editing pieces with the players, stars and coaches that me and my dad used to watch every day,” Fenley. said Throughout it all, Fenley said his mom, Gigi, has been nothing but supportive through the good times and bad. “She’s nurtured me through this process and believed in me,” he says. “She’s been my number one teammate through this battle, and is always on the frontlines fighting for my dreams.” For now, Fenley’s happy in Spokane but has lofty goals. “I took the terror, the heartbreak, and the moments of pain in my dad’s fight with cancer and used it to conquer my dreams,” Fenley sums up. “It all comes down to him.” Follow Fenley on Twitter @BryanFenley.

RSF resident named one of Jewish Family Service of San Diego’s ‘2014 Mitzvah Award Honorees’ By Karen Billing Rancho Santa Fe’s Karen Foster Silberman is one of Jewish Family Service of San Diego’s (JFS) 2014 Mitzvah Award Honorees. Foster Silberman is credited with single-handedly creating the “Sell Your Soul…Consign for a Cause” fundraiser at My Sister’s Closet consignment shops. She encourages people to donate gently used apparel for consignment with the proceeds going to benefit JFS’ Project SARAH (Stop Abusive Relationships At Home). Foster Silberman will be celebrated at the annual Heart and Soul Gala at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla on Sunday, March 9. “She is a true champion of our cause. She is passionate about Project SARAH’s mission and works tirelessly to educate the community about domestic abuse and spread awareness about the services we provide,” said Cheryl Bruser, JFS community outreach coordinator for Project SARAH. “We are so honored to have Karen as one of our ambassadors in the community and were thrilled that Karen has been selected as one of this year’s Heart and Soul Gala Mitzvah honorees.” Foster Silberman said she was extremely humbled to be recognized by JFS. “It’s not a comfortable place for me to be honored in any way but to shine light on Project SARAH is so important,” Foster Silberman said. Foster Silberman has been involved with Jewish Family Service of San Diego for more than 15 years, originally starting with the Mental Health Services Committee, now known as the Behavioral Health Committee. The committee provides resources for coping and living with mental illness and seeks to eliminate the stigma

sues. Foster Silberman still serves on the committee but for the past three years has been a force for Project SARAH. Domestic violence and violence against women have always been issues Foster Silberman has felt strongly about. Several years ago her sisters were involved in a carjacking incident and robbed at gunpoint. Additionally, her anti-violence stance comes naturally as her father, Stanley Foster, was a national trustee for Handgun Control Inc. and the founding chairman of San Diegans Against Handgun Violence. Foster Silberman calls Project SARAH a “warm line,” providing a safe and confidential place where women who are being abused can call for help. They can offer emergency help, health counseling, support groups, financial

and legal assistance, and assistance for people in shelters with observance or dietary needs. Project SARAH’s posters provide a very confidential way for women to carry their number on them to call when they need help. Project SARAH’s posters for teens don’t have cards but instead include a number for them to program into their phones. While they serve the entire community, Project SARAH does target abuse in Judaism as one in four Jewish women experience domestic abuse and will stay in an abusive relationship five to seven years longer than non-Jewish women. Bruser said Foster Silberman’s creativity and generosity have enabled JFS to offer annual programming about dating abuse for teens, including a healthy relationships workshop for high school stu-

dents and a special “teen screen” event at the San Diego Jewish Film Festival this year. The film screened, “Brave Miss World,” tells the story of an Israeli beauty queen, Linor Abargil, who was stabbed and raped two months before being crowned Miss World. She didn’t talk about it for 12 years but now through the film and speaking engagements, she is encouraging others to speak out. Foster Silberman said she was a little nervous because of the harsh subject matter, but the screening was very successful and more than 100 teens came to see it. “Karen doesn’t just generate the ideas, she takes action. She single-handedly developed and now coordinates the My Sister’s Closet consignment shop project and spends countless hours speaking at women’s

Accomplished author Meg Wolitzer discusses book â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Interestingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at RSF Literary Society event By Joe Tash â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Interestingsâ&#x20AC;? is a novel about many things â&#x20AC;&#x201D; jealousy, envy, talent and its pursuit, love, loyalty, secrets and lies. And over a period of more than 30 years, the reader watches the main characters grapple with these elements of their lives as they grow into themselves. New York writer Meg Wolitzerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel came out in 2013, published by Riverhead Books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my first â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; epic,â&#x20AC;? she said, although she has previously written eight books, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Uncoupling,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wifeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ten-Year Nap,.â&#x20AC;? In her newest work, Wolitzer, the featured speaker at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society luncheon on Feb. 20 at The Grand Del Mar Resort, tells the story of a group of teenagers who meet at an arts-themed summer camp in the 1970s. Over the next decades, Wolitzer follows the friends as they marry, pursue careers, have children, and decide what they want to do when they grow up. Some become fabulously wealthy, while others struggle both financially and emotionally. The author said in an interview that one of the themes she wanted to explore was talent, and what happens to it as we grow older. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing about talent, luck is a big part of it too,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did somebody throw some money your way so you could take a few months off to write? Did you know the right people? Connections and money do come into play.â&#x20AC;? The camp was important to the characters, said Wolitzer (who attended a similar camp in her teens), because it marked the point when they went out on their own into the world, and began to form their own identities. Young people can relate to the story even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize some of the cultural and political references, such as Richard Nixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation, because they experienced a similar transformation in their own lives,

Author Meg Wolitzer Photo/McKenzie Images she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming of age is about breaking away from your parents, finding your people, what you want to do,â&#x20AC;? Wolitzer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding your talent.â&#x20AC;? Finding oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent can also be a slippery slope, as Wolitzer portrays in her book. Wolitzer said she was encouraged to pursue writing by her mother, novelist Hilma Wolitzer, but, unfortunately, her mother didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive the same support from her own parents. The topic comes up in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Interestingsâ&#x20AC;? when Ash Wolf, a theater director and one of the main characters, participates in a question-and-answer session following a performance. A woman asks if she should encourage her daughter to study directing in graduate school, or to find a more practical career path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking about going into directing, she has to really, really want it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first thing.

Because if she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point in putting herself through all of this, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredibly hard and dispiriting. But if she does really, really want it, and if she seems to have a talent for it, then I think you should tell her, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Because the truth is, the world will probably whittle your daughter down. But a mother never should,â&#x20AC;? Ash tells the woman. Ashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend, Jules, another of the original group from the summer camp, had her own aspirations of becoming a comedic actress, which never came to fruition. Jules, who marries and becomes a therapist, harbors great envy regarding the lives of her wealthy, talented friends, Ash and Ethan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have flaws, this is one of her flaws,â&#x20AC;? said Wolitzer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If she never met these friends, her own life would be a lot more agreeable to her. She wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what she is missing.â&#x20AC;? Jules â&#x20AC;&#x153;canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that being a social worker and helping people is a talent. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuck in that original fantasy,â&#x20AC;? Wolitzer said. Wolitzer began writing at an early age, dictating stories to her first-grade teacher. She sold her first novel, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sleepwalking,â&#x20AC;? when she was a senior at Brown University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the most exciting day of my life,â&#x20AC;? she said of being published, and receiving $5,000 for her book. She lives in New York City with her husband, Richard Panek, also a writer, and the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two sons are in college. Wolitzer said she has started working on a new novel, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to discuss the details yet. She tries to find time to write at airports and hotels, as she has been on the road speaking and promoting â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Interestings.â&#x20AC;? She said she enjoys the chance to interact with readers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moving for writers to meet readers, people who really care about books,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people come out in large numbers to hear a writer talk about literature, I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic.â&#x20AC;?

RSF School wrestling team caps a great season The R. Roger Rowe School wrestling team just finished its best season in several years as each member of the team placed at the Big 8 League’s wrestling championships on Feb. 22. Rancho Santa Fe finished fourth out of five teams at the tournament, a big accomplishment given that its seven-member team was the smallest team in the competition — the top two teams had 30 or more members and the next smallest to Rancho Santa Fe’s team had more than 20 wrestlers. Teams gain points for having wrestlers at each weight class placing and RSF forfeits many points because its team is so small. R. Roger Rowe’s team needed great results from each wrestler and the team got them. Julian Shearer placed first in the 90 pounds class; Zach Kindel placed fourth in 100 pounds; Conrad Delgado placed second in 110 pounds; Nick Persico placed third in 110 pounds; Seth Rossier placed third in 128 pounds; Aidan McGeehan placed fourth in 135 pounds; and Danny Burns Brewster placed fourth in 155 pounds.

Interesting places. Walkable spaces.

Carmel Valley. Two words synonymous with an upwardly mobile, well-educated, high-achieving, unusually cultivated crowd. One place brings it all together. A new destination. And you can make it happen.

Author and award-winning broadcast journalist shares keys for happiness at Viewpoints event By Diane Y. Welch Students dressed in Reality Changers T-shirts welcomed guests to the Viewpoints speaking event at the Fellowship Hall of the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe on Sunday evening, Feb. 23. A wine and hors d’oeuvres reception preceded the evening’s presentation and the hall soon filled to capacity. The big draw for the Reality Changers — students who will be the first generation in their respective families to go to college — and for the 175 people in the audience was guest speaker Hugh Hewitt, invited to appear by Connie Pittard and Paige Vanosky, both Viewpoint committee members. Hewitt is an attorney, law professor, author and an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist, best known as the host of his nationally-syndicated radio show which is heard in more than 120 cities across the United States. Relaxed, in an informal setting on stage, Pastor

Jack Baca led the conversation with Hewitt who created an uplifting atmosphere. With wisdom and humor, Hewitt recollected people, places and events from his life in the media and gave sage advice to the audience about how to achieve happiness. During his lengthy career Hewitt has interviewed more than 20,000 people, many of them globally acclaimed, such as the Pope, the Dalai Llama, Buzz Aldrin, A-list actors, famous politicians, and more. His reflections on these interviews led him to publish, “The Happiest Life: Seven Gifts, Seven Givers and the Secret to Genuine Success”– a book that describes seven simple habits that anyone can adopt: encouragement, energy, enthusiasm, empathy/patience, good humor, graciousness, and gratitude. The book’s message formed the platform for much of Hewitt’s speech. Seven key relationships further help forge happiness, said Hewitt. A spouse,

Hugh Hewitt Photo/ McKenzie Images parents, teachers, family members, friends, co-workers, and church members comprise the list. “If you practice these seven habits in these seven contexts — unless you are stricken with illness or disaster — you will almost certainly be happy!” Hewitt said. Highlighting his chapter on teachers Hewitt recollected his interview with Academy Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss.

When Hewitt asked Dreyfuss if he had any regrets about his career Dreyfuss answered that he really wished he’d been a high school teacher in Indiana. Hewitt praised Dreyfuss’s value placed on teachers and told the audience, “Teachers get levels of satisfaction out of what they do that are off the charts for happiness levels.” Hewitt also talked about developing a family GPA – ranking your relationships within an extended family – and how improving this grade will also improve happiness. Being humble and displaying gratitude will make you a happier person, too. Hewitt recalled his conversations with Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, Carol Burnett and Andy Williams who, despite their riches, never forgot their roots and were grateful to those who opened doors for them in their respective careers. “People will give you breaks,” commented Hewitt, especially directed to the students in the au-

dience. “Be open to what comes along and you will find yourself doing extraordinary things.” Hewitt shared that he was hired, as a 22-year-old in 1978 to help Nixon with the Presidential Library in Yorba Linda. An audience member asked, “What did you really think of Richard Nixon?” Quick to respond he said, “The best boss I ever had!” Hewitt said that Nixon was a genius, who was brilliant in foreign affairs, and a key figure in 20th century history, despite his notoriety. Hewitt’s strong opinions on politics brought laughter from the audience, “Snowden should be executed... after a fair trial”; Ronald Reagan was “misunderestimated and Biden has perfected it” and “Bill Maher is rotten and corrosive,” he joked. In closing, Hewitt advised everyone to commit to lifelong learning, to choose good friends and to read a lot. And in following his own advice “to give” he

MITZVAH continued from page 2 events, encouraging others to donate their clothing,” Bruser said. “Not only has this been a very successful fundraiser that directly benefits our clients, but a great way to raise awareness about Project SARAH.” Foster Silberman calls Sell Your Soul her “baby” and she spends many of her days picking up and sorting clothing. While people can donate directly to My Sister’s Closet locations in Costa Verde and Encinitas, Foster Silberman will also do donation pickups and drop-offs herself — her children’s bedrooms of her now empty nest are often filled with clothing. Any clothes My Sister’s Closet cannot resell are donated back to JFS for other projects they serve. Foster Silberman’s dream is for JFS to have its own consignment or thrift shop, to serve not just Project SARAH but all of the JFS community programs. “I’m just so proud to be a part of Project SARAH. The committee is just the greatest committee I’ve ever been a part of, we’re a small but mighty committee and everybody shows up to every event and it’s the greatest group of women I’ve ever worked with,” Foster Silberman said. “This award is for all of us because everyone is Project SARAH. They’re all equally dedicated and devoted to this project as I am.” For more information, visit www.jfssd.org.

BY ROB LEDONNE Alec Mills was in eighth grade when he first discovered the sport of rugby, and it was almost by happenstance. “I was playing Pop Warner football at the time,” Mills said. “Our coach recommended we go to a rugby clinic, so I went and picked it up from there.” Since that clinic, Mills has devoted his life to the sport and has the results to show for it. Currently a senior at Torrey Pines High School, he just wrapped up his time with the school’s team. In Mills’ humble words, the season “went pretty well. We won the Southern California Championships.” Mills credits his team’s championship to one simple concept: longevity. “Most of us on the team have been playing for four years, which is more than other teams. Many others are first-year players; in terms how of we play the game, that’s why we beat our opponents.” Earlier this month, the team’s last game of the season (and Mills’ last game of his Torrey Pines career) was an intense one against Torrey Pines’ biggest rival: the guys from Wilson High School in Long Beach, Calif. “It was emotional because that team has been our chief rival for the past four years,” explained Mills. “Last year they killed us in finals, but this time we beat them — and it was all the more awesome since it was our last game.” Dating back to his first season with Torrey Pines as a freshmen, Mills realized rugby was his sport. “The first season I started playing, I knew it’d be something I’d stick with. It’s unlike most other sports, everyone gets to play. There’s no special positions,” he explains. With only two practices a week, the training that comes with playing rugby doesn’t sound strenuous, but it’s actually quite brutal. Said Mills: “On Monday, we’d have a conditioning practice with a former Green Beret. Almost all of the players lift weights and run outside of practice. You need to be in shape to be good at it.” Despite the thrill of playing for Torrey Pines, Mills says high school rugby works as more of a precursor to club season; Mills currently plays for the Mustangs, which is a part of the San Diego Youth Rugby Club. “The Torrey Pines season is about getting new players into the game. We introduce them to the form with high school rugby. Then, when high school playing ends, we go into club season,” explained Mills. Mills’ club team is currently number three in the nation, and it’s a reputation the team would like to uphold. “It’s all about trying to win Southern California, then the nationals,” Mills says of his team’s goals for the season. “Last year we finished fifth, but we’re hoping to do much better this year.” Mills and his teammates give full credit to the Mustang’s team of coaches, including Maddy Sandoval, Bill “Chief” Leversee and David Poole among others. “These coaches take the time to teach us the values and strategy of the game and emphasize teamwork and sportsmanship above everything else,” Mills said. “It’s a bonus that we are a winning team as well!” Once club season wraps up and Mills graduates high school, he isn’t sure where life is going to take him next; he’s currently in the midst of waiting on word of acceptance into the prestigious US Naval Academy after receiving a nomination from California Congressman Scott Peters.

Rancho Santa Fe Bistro features newly renovated patio By Kristina Houck In a little more than a year, restaurateur Mozy Jahanguiri has completely renovated Rancho Santa Fe Bistro. Formerly The Pantry, Jahanguiri changed the village eatery’s name, menu and dining area after purchasing the restaurant in January 2013. He recently finished upgrades to the patio, the latest phase of the renovation. “I did it all myself,” said Jahanguiri as he pointed to various features of the courtyard. “I built this wall. I ordered this pot from Italy.” The expanded patio now has 16 tables decorated in green-and-white checkered tablecloths. Potted flowers and plants line the courtyard, which also features fruit trees, a fountain and an archway to a path leading to the entrance of the restaurant. In addition to expanding the patio and planting the garden, Jahanguiri also installed a fire pit and created a sitting area on the left side of Rancho Santa Fe Bistro. He plans to hire a classic guitar player to perform in the courtyard during dinner service. “This is all new,” Jahanguiri said. “Nothing was here before. It looks much better.” Jahanguiri has worked in the restaurant industry since he was a 16-year-old living in Chicago. In 1978, he opened his first restaurant, Toulouse, in his hometown. He went on to open and operate several restaurants in Chicago, Minneapolis and Dallas. Awards, news clippings and photographs from his past successes are framed on the walls throughout his latest venture in the village of Rancho Santa Fe. After retiring from the restaurant business, Jahanguiri went back to school to obtain his master’s degree and become an advisor for Southern Methodist University.

Formerly The Pantry, Rancho Santa Fe Bistro has undergone many changes since Mozy Jahanguiri purchased the restaurant last year. Photos/Kristina Houck He decided to re-enter the industry when he relocated to California from Texas to be closer to his 25-year-old son, Sam, who served two tours in Afghanistan as a special forces Marine. After purchasing the restaurant, Jahanguiri began renovating the inside. He installed new restrooms and a wood wine cellar to house more than 2,000 bottles of French and American wines. “The reason I opened it here is because I don’t want to be a tourist,” said Jahanguiri, 65, who resides in Carlsbad. “I want to know the locals like I did at my other locations.” Located at 6024 Paseo Delicias in Suite C, Rancho

Santa Fe Bistro is open for brunch 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. The restaurant is open for dinner 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. From an array of salads, to duck breast and steak, Rancho Santa Fe Bistro offers a variety of menu items. “We have good, healthy food for good value. Everybody feels comfortable and at home,” Jahanguiri said. “I want to make it the best I can.” For more information about Rancho Santa Fe Bistro, call 858-756-1221 or visit ranchosantafebistro.com.

The International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF) is launching a global essay contest to erase the stigma associated with mental illness through education. The contest is part of the foundation’s mission to address the impact of bipolar disorder and is open to all high school students. “Our hope,” said Muffy Walker, chairman and co-founder of IBPF, “is that students will be interested in winning the prize and thereby research stigma in order to write the essay. In so doing, we will be educating a lot of young people and hopefully changing their perception about mental illness.” The first-place winner will receive $500, and the second-place winner will receive $100. Students may choose one of the following topics: •How is mental health perceived and addressed in your community, both culturally and socially? •How can you support a friend or loved one who may be dealing with bipolar disorder? •How does media impact the stigma of bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses? Entries will be judged by a panel of authors who write about bipolar disorder and mental illness. The winner will be announced in May, which is Mental Health Month. High school students throughout the world are invited to participate. For more information about the International Bipolar Foundation or to receive the essay rules and registration form, contact Ashley Jacobs at ajacobs@ibpf.org

Frontline: Cancer

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Dr. Scott Irwin on the important things BY SCOTT M. LIPPMAN A diagnosis of cancer changes everything. It portends coming days and months of challenges. Most obvious perhaps are those related to treatment: What therapy, drug or approach is most likely to succeed, to eradicate the cancer and return that person to health? But the physicality of cancer is just one aspect of a larger picture. Every facet of a person’s well-being must be addressed. It can be a task made more daunting if the prognosis is not good. Scott A. Irwin, M.D., Ph.D. is a colleague. He is director of psychiatry and psychosocial services and patient and family support services at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and director of palliative care psychiatry for the UC San Diego Health System. He has spent his career working to improve psychiatric and psychosocial assessments and treatments for patients with progressive, potentially life-limiting illnesses, as well as support and care for their families. I asked him to talk about the idea of “whole person care.” Dr. Irwin: Some questions I often ask the people I care for are — What is most important to you? What brings you joy and makes you feel fulfilled? — many people respond with answers of family, friends, good health, work, contributing to society and spirituality. There are many, many other answers. Next I ask: What if you were told you only had a few months to live, how might that change your answer? What now would be most important to you? What would bring you joy and make you feel fulfilled? Some responses might

Dr. Scott Lippman remain the same, but often they would be different. Patients frequently reply that what they care about most is family, friends, mending fences, leaving a legacy, controlling symptoms, being able to care for themselves, engaging in pleasurable activities for as long as possible and maintaining mental clarity. You’ll note most of these answers are not “medical” in nature; nor are there any effective “high-tech” interventions for them. These are desires that make us human. They define us as persons. They are unique to each of us. They are the important things. Whole person care is a concept that has been around for a while. It best describes care that is mindful of the things that matter most to us, as individuals with unique points of view and needs. At its essence, whole person care addresses every important facet of our lives – as individuals, as members of families, as parts of social circles and beyond. Comprehensive whole person care must seek to check-in with, bolster, and, when necessary, address distress in all domains of our lives that are important to us. Many issues qualify. Among them: How will the illness will be man-

Common sense please The recent action of the Rancho Santa Fe Association board needs to be addressed. As with any business, organization or agency, attention needs to be paid to all financial matters and, in the case of any board, fiscal responsibility heads the list of required duties. Ultimately, the board members are responsible for all actions taken by the board. Issues may be assigned to a committee to research. While some legal and personnel issues are privileged, the substance of all matters when assigned to a committee is not the exclusive domain of the committee. Additionally, all staff works at the pleasure of the board to provide service and professional advice. Both committees and staff members are resources to the board. The entire board, as part of its responsibility and sole discretion, needs to review committee and staff findings and recommendations and then take action on all matters, financial and otherwise. If this hasn’t been done in the past, it needs to be corrected now. There is nothing more important, in my opinion, than open disclosure in the role of board membership to the community. The board needs to be the “watchdog” for the membership on all financial matters, provide leadership in enforcing the governing documents, plan for needed improvements in the community and provide safety measures. In light of recent events there definitely needs to be a very clear financial picture of all transactions, past, present, and future of the Rancho Santa Fe Association. We should not have to hunt through the internet to find out the details and neither should RSF board members! Marion Dodson Rancho Santa Fe

Rant with Randi: The Evolution of Prejudice BY RANDI CRAWFORD We have lost the opportunity to be a great individual in this country and I’m going to use a recent example to make my point. It used to be that you hated me for my color, religion, gender or sexual preference. Today, you love me and show deference for the same reason. Whatever happened to letting me be me and you liking or hating me because of me? I believe that we’ve overcorrected for our sins of the past. I just read the story about University of Missouri defensive end Michael Sam, who told The New York Times and ESPN that he is gay and that he plans to become the first openly gay player in the NFL. “I am an openly, proud gay man,” he told ESPN. So I ask myself: “Why does Michael Sam need to announce his sexuality to the world?” I don’t have a problem with his sexuality. What he does is his choice, but why does it

have to become a political issue? I just don’t get it. Does he realize that he’s no longer going to be looked at as Michael Sam, a defensive end eligible for the NFL draft, but rather the gay NFL player? There’s a Texas sportscaster, Dale Hansen, who gave a phenomenal speech on-air in support of Sam. He was pointing out how as a society we accept disgraceful behavior from other athletes (i.e. abusing women, drugs, etc.), yet we continue to look up to them and take them as top picks in the NFL draft. But, he said, “You love another man, now you’ve gone too far. It wasn’t that long ago when we were being told that black players couldn’t play in our games.” While Hansen is spoton in his assessment of how we idolize and reward disgraceful behavior from

professional athletes, I still can’t stop asking myself why. Why did Michael Sam have to make this announcement? Until recently, if you were a gay person, you were hated for being gay without the other person ever knowing you. (Disgusting.) As that (gay person), you must ask, “Why do you hate me when you don’t even know me?” Then the evolution took place. Today, we like you and tread water around you because you are gay, even though we do not know you. If we look past our prejudices (gays, Italians, Irish, blacks, Jews, Mexicans, Muslims, women, etc.) and look at the person: We love you, like you, or hate you because of the person you are, what your values stand for and your personality. The evolution is complete when we get to that stage. We are not there yet. We are not even close. Today, I read part of a speech by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He said, “Americans today are too sensitive about race.” He was speaking to a group of college students

By Karen Billing The LPGA 2014 Kia Classic is returning to the Park Hyatt Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad, March 24-30. The fanfriendly tournament will feature a $1.7 million purse and a field of 144 LPGA golfers. In 2013, 49 out of the top 50 players on the LPGA Tour participated in the event and they are expecting a high-quality field again this year, including defending champion Beatriz Recari. Recari won last year in dramatic fashion, in a two-hole playoff over Rancho Santa Fe’s I.K. Kim. Recari, the golfer known as the “Iron Woman,” made an 18-foot birdie putt from the fringe to capture the tournament. “I’m looking forward to coming back to Carlsbad and defending my title at the 2014 Kia Classic,” said Recari. “I have great memories of last year’s win and look forward to competing against the best players in the world at this year’s event.” Tournament director Dennis Baggett said a lot of players love to come to the Kia Classic because of both the scenic San Diego course and the tournament’s position on the schedule, which is one week before the tour’s first major, the Kraft Nabisco Championship in Palm Springs. The Kia Classic field will feature exciting players such as Lydia Ko, the 16-year-old rookie from New Zealand currently ranked fourth in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, and local pros such as Rancho Santa Fe’s Kim, Jennifer Johnson of Carlsbad and Tiffany Joh, a Rancho Bernardo High School graduate. In addition to the $1.7 million purse, the winner will

Kids under-17 years old can get in for free as well as members of the military. All of the practice rounds are open and free and Wednesday’s pro-am tickets are $10. Any day grounds tickets are $15 for adults and a weekly grounds ticket is $30. “It’s very affordable family entertainment,” he said. “To come out and be able to interact with the players is

really a highlight…you can get right up close and personal with some of the best golfers in the world.” They will have a variety of vendors in the tournament expo, as well as a scavenger hunt, autograph sessions and a junior clinic on the driving range on Family Day, March 29. Juniors must pre-register for the 3 p.m. clinic on the tournament website. This is the tournament’s fifth year and its second at Park Hyatt Aviara. The only San Diego course designed by Arnold Palmer, Aviara overlooks the Batiquitos Lagoon ecological reserve and has a par-72 coastal layout that stretches 7,007 yards. “It’s a great golf course, it’s recognized as the number one golf resort destination in San Diego,” said Baggett. “It’s a great test of golfers but the ladies love to play it.” About a month out, Baggett said they are still prepping the course but the conditions are great and they were especially looking forward to last weekend’s forecasted storm. “A lot of players have been here for practice rounds and have commented on how good the course is,” Baggett said. Kia Classic fans can follow the tournament through social media on Facebook (search “Kia Classic”) or follow their Twitter feed, @LPGAKiaClassic. Exclusive photos will be posted as well as various contests to win Kia Classic tickets or other prizes. To purchase tickets or sign up as a tournament volunteer, visit kiaclassic.com.

continued from page 14 in Palm Beach. “My sadness is that we are probably today more race- and difference-conscious than I was in the 1960s when I went to school. To my knowledge, I was the first black kid in Savannah, Georgia, to go to a white school. Rarely did the issue of race come up. Now, name a day it doesn’t come up. Differences in race, differences in sex, somebody doesn’t look at you right, somebody says something. Everybody is sensitive. If I had been as sensitive as that in the 1960s, I’d still be in Savannah. Every person in this room has endured a slight. Somebody has said something that has hurt their feelings or did something to them — left them out. That’s a part of the deal.” Sometimes I feel like the only safe thing to discuss with people is the weather, so I don’t offend someone. I can’t wait until the pendulum swings back around and we can actually like each other for our val-

ues, and not what someone deems politically correct. What say you? Email me at www.randiccrawford@ gmail.com.

FRONTLINE continued from page 14 aged and with what interventions? How will physical symptoms be dealt with, from pain to nausea to fatigue? In what ways will emotions like joy, sadness, depression, fear or anxiety emerge? How can resilience be reinforced? There may be social consequences to address as well, such as a patient’s standing in the community, interactions with friends and accounting for the role work has played in the person’s life. Let’s not forget the practical issues, too, such as making sure bills are paid, wills and advanced directives are completed and care is provided for dependents. Whole patient care includes making sure the last days and hours of life are carefully considered and planned. What will hap-

pen? Where will it happen? Who will be present? How will suffering be addressed? Grief and bereavement needs to be noted and honored – for the person with the illness who has lost an anticipated future and for the family and friends for whom that future has now changed. And, of course, there is a need to understand how spirituality – religious or not — colors and interacts with the patient’s experience. Whole person care involves attending to each of these dimensions, and possibly others, based upon the person’s needs and desires. When we are on our life’s trajectory, most of us seek predictability and a planned future. Potentially life-limiting illnesses like cancer knock us off of that path, injecting volatility, instability and its attendant anxiety. It is – or should be – the job of care providers to return us to a predictable path, as much as possible. It may not be the path that we had hoped for or planned, but it should be a path that minimizes distress, including that of unpredictability. I often sug-

gest to those I care for to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. No single person can do this alone. It takes a team: family, friends and social support networks working with nurses, doctors and others who care for those with progressive, potentially life-limiting illnesses and their families. When needed, this can include additional support from experts in psychiatric and psychosocial support, as well as palliative care. If you or a loved one confronts a potentially life-limiting illness, you should – and must – demand that every aspect of your life be recognized, honored and, if needed, assisted by those providing care and support. These are the important things. Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in the La Jolla Light the fourth Thursday of each month.

Casa de Amistad fundraiser to be held March 15 Casa de Amistad is holding a “Sowing Seeds of Success” fundraiser on Saturday, March 15, at the Del Mar Country Club. The event will be a champagne brunch and silent auction in support of Casa de Amistad, the Solana Beach organization dedicated to fostering education and character development for disadvantaged students in North Coastal San Diego. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the club, on 6001 Clubhouse Drive in Rancho Santa Fe. Through its Study Companions program, Casa de Amistad volunteers serve as tutors and mentors for K-12 Latino students in the community. Students and their mentors meet twice a week throughout the school year at their donated space at Solana Beach Presbyterian Church. Students also have access to a computer lab for schoolwork, where most of the equipment has been generously donated. The purpose of the March 15 benefit is to help build on the organization’s new “STEM” (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) campaign. “The move is in keeping with federal and state reforms that have elevated STEM education to a national priority and elementary standards that have lifted the reading focus for elementary students from fiction to non-fiction STEM-related topics,” said Casa de Amistad Director Nicole Mione-Green. “We want our participants to be able to keep up and be competitive with their peers.” Casa also hopes to raise funds to build a library of STEM-focused books. “Our goal is to push disadvantaged students — most dual language learners normally tracked for basic courses and high school graduation — toward college-prep STEM coursework and STEM college readiness,” Mione-Green. Tickets for “Sowing Seeds of Success” are $100. For more information on the fundraising event or volunteer tutoring, visit casadeamistad.org or contact Nicole MioneGreen at director@casadeamistad.org or call (858) 509-2509.

TPHS Varsity lacrosse team holds ‘Surprise Birthday Party’ for special young man; Pediatric Brain Cancer fundraiser to be held March 7 In celebration of Jose Montaño’s 13th birthday (March 1), the Torrey Pines High School Varsity boys lacrosse “teamed up” with ULTRAZONE on Sports Arena Blvd. on March 2 to give Jose a “Surprise Birthday Party” that he will never forget. Jose Montaño is a 13 year old young man undergoing chemotherapy treatment for brain cancer. He has been battling Medulloblastoma (a rare type of malignant cancer) for 34 months. Since he was diagnosed in April 2011, he has had brain surgery to remove a tumor, 30 cycles of radiation and is currently on his 26th chemotherapy cycle. Over his 13 years of life he has taught his family, friends and everyone around him the true meaning of having faith, looking at the bright side of life, unselfishness, giving from the heart, never losing hope but, most importantly, believing in himself. TPHS Boys Lacrosse would like to thank ULTRAZONE for helping to make this dream come true. ULTRAZONE’s passion to help in the community really shines in everyone’s eyes. “Jose’s love of ULTRAZONE Laser Tag is what drives us to help you make this event happen as we are so flattered by his passion for our game.” On Friday night, March 7, TPHS Boys Lacrosse will play Cathedral Catholic High School at 7 p.m. at TPHS. This will be a special evening because the night will be focused on raising awareness for Pediatric Brain Cancer. All donations will go to the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation and the Jose Montano Foundation. Both of these organizations are focused around raising awareness and a cure for brain cancer. It will also be one of the famous “Taco Nights” so come hungry, support Jose Montano, Pediatric Brain Cancer Awareness and TPHS boys lacrosse.

Les Misérables cast members rehearse the barricade scene. Photo/Daria Sheik, CCA student atre, La Jolla Playhouse, Starlight Civic Light Opera and more. At the beginning of the school year Whattoff and Blatt discussed a unique collaborative presentation between Envision Theatre and Vocal Conservatory with Les Misérables being a top choice because of its operatic style and potential for an expandable cast, said Blatt, who had praise for those who auditioned and made the cast. “These students’ voices are second to none and having Cameron Chang cast as Valjean, who can beautifully hit the notes, is a rare find at the high school level.” Cameron — who is a member of J Company Youth Theater outside of CCA — said

that his role came with great responsibility. “I’m basically carrying the weight of the show on my shoulders. And if my performance doesn’t work, neither does the show.” But the show is a team effort and Cameron has plenty of support with a cast of 50 vocalists and 27 musicians, Technical Director/Set Designer Jeremy Sewell, Costume Designer Janet Pitcher, Lighting Designer Nicole Davison, Stage Manager CCA Student Beatriz Pereira, about 20 student stage crew and technicians, and dozens of parent volunteers coordinated by Nancy Coker, with public relations courtesy of Susan Farese.

La Jolla Cultural Partners

By Diane Y. Welch Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) Envision Theatre has taken a bold step in its choice of presentation of the worldacclaimed musical Les Misérables. Boublil and Schönberg’s classic musical will take the audience on an epic journey of passion and destruction set in 19th century France. CCA will present the school edition, specially adapted and licensed by Music Theatre International and Cameron Mackintosh Braun, which is shorter in length than the original score. Directed by CCA Envision Theatre Coordinator Amy Blatt, with music direction by Envision Creative Director Anne Whattoff and Instrumental Music Coordinator Amy Villanova, the spring show will be staged later this month by an all-student cast in CCA’s Proscenium Theatre. The plot of the show is set in the dark days of the French Revolution with main character convict Jean Valjean (played by Cameron Chang) hunted by the policeman Inspector Javert (played by Mark Steitz) for breaking his parole. Valjean leaves his past behind and keeps his vow to raise the young orphaned Cosette (played by Alison Norwood). With the revolution gaining strength and Javert closing in, Valjean has no choice but to join the fight and sacrifices everything by saving the life of a young man, Marius (played by Steve Macario) who is in love with his adopted daughter. It’s a classic tale of redemption and love overcoming adversity and is Blatt’s all-time favorite musical. “It was always playing in my house growing up. The score is so beautiful and the story is so sad and touching,” said Blatt, who came to CCA in the fall of 2013 having stage managed productions at San Diego Repertory The-

Find Italian fare without the flight to Italy at Rosina’s BY KELLEY CARLSON he dining experience at Rosina’s Italian Restaurant gives guests a taste of owner Rosina Gangale’s home life. Set in a simple-yet-elegant space in Piazza Santaluz, the eatery is designed to be comfortable and welcoming to everyone, from couples and families indulging in an authentic Italian meal, to customers casually dropping in for a glass of wine. “You feel like you’re in my house,” Gangale said. “There’s no pretension here.” Gangale is no stranger to the kitchen, enjoying cooking as much as she loves interacting with people. She has passed her culinary skills along to her sons Giancarlo and Gianfranco, who take turns as chefs at Rosina’s Santaluz and Oceanside locations. She strives to be a gracious hostess, constantly greeting guests and getting to know them. “I take pride in serving good Italian food,” Gangale said. “It’s as good as it gets without flying all the way to Italy.” Like a typical Italian meal, the dining experience at Rosina’s is encouraged to be experienced at a marathon pace, rather than a sprint. Meals begin with a basket of ciabatta delivered to the table, accompanied by a dipping sauce that’s a blend of sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Parmesan, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

People who want something lighter may opt for the Insalata alla Siciliana, a mixture of avocado, English cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and ricotta salata cheese tossed with red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. When it comes to main dishes, Gangale notes with pride that her pastas aren’t drowning in sauces. The slightly spicy Alla Vodka contains morsels of sautéed pancetta ham, onions, vodka, crushed tomatoes and a splash of cream over penne. There’s also Funghi e Pisilli, in which nearly every creamy forkful of pasta has peas and wild mushrooms. Seafood enthusiasts may select the Mare e Monte, with shrimp, scallops and calamari sauteéd

Besides pastas, there are also crespelles (the Italian equivalent of crepes), the Pesce del Giorno (fresh fish of the day), and chicken and pork entrees. Wednesdays are Gourmet Pizza Night — pies with the traditional thin crust — and on Thursdays, Rosina’s Lasagna is in the spotlight. Not all items are on the menu, but guests should ask about the availability of dishes such as the cioppino; pasta with wild boar ragu; and the Eggplant Della Nonna, featuring savory sausage wrapped

Among the libations are six craft beers on tap, and California and Italian wines. There’s no corkage fee on Mondays. Rosina’s offers a Girls’ Night Out at 6:30 p.m. the first Thursday of each month, in which $25 covers dinner and a glass of wine. Additionally, there are occasional wine dinners that pair Rosina’s cuisine with vintages from growers such as Temecula’s Wiens Family Cellars.

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Canyon Crest Academy’s Creative Writing Club held its third annual Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) Writers Conference on Saturday, Feb. 22. Best-selling authors, agents and other writing professionals addressed countywide high school students, leading inspirational and educational workshops. The event was free for attendees due to generous support from Gold Sponsors: OSIsoft, Summa Education and Chipotle, and Silver Sponsors: Entangled Publishing, DoubleTree Hotels, and Wells Fargo. The conference, founded by CCA senior Devyn Krevat, drew almost 200 students, she said. Krevat served as emcee, introducing the first keynote speaker of the day, Kristin Elizabeth Clark, author of the novel “Freakboy.” Clark’s talk focused on how to tackle a controversial subject matter bravely and dodge the “bumps and bruises we’re likely to encounter from coming face to face with the tough subjects that choose us,” she said. Using the metaphor of a protective helmet, she urged the audience to chant, “No more helmets” to express a willingness to “write without fear in order to bring light to difficult topics.” Clark’s novel spotlights transgender, a subject matter that she said chose her. She also gave highlights from the work of fellow authors Ellen Hopkins, who wrote “Crank” about her daughter’s drug addiction, and Laurie Halse Andersen, author of “SPEAK,” who writes about sexual assault and depression. By writing these difficult edgy works authors are “holding up mirrors to what is out there” so that issues may be faced head on and possible solutions found, said Clark. In closing, Clark advised aspiring authors to “write what chooses you and create light!” After the opening speech, students broke out into separate workshop sessions on several aspects of writing, including freelance magazine writing, self publishing, flash fiction, crafting great plots, point of view, stage plays, fan-

Lissa Price, the second keynote speaker, talked passionately about her award-winning dystopic thriller series “Starters” and “Enders,” and gave tips on how to write page-turning novels with memorable characters. A panel of agents gave candid advice on the benefits of having an agent and tips for aspiring agents on how to intern with a literary agency. Natalie Lakosil, Thao Le and Kelly Sonnack spoke about their roles in the publishing world and how they are there to springboard authors to success by taking care of the contractual details and the selling of a manuscript, leaving authors free to focus on their next book. Advice on how to submit to an agent was covered, what genres are still hot, resources to find an agent and the importance of reading extensively and writing daily.

“You have to carve out that time every day, even if it means getting up really early in the morning,” said Sonnack. Kelly advised, “Write from the heart and be true to yourself,” and Le told the audience, “Stand out by having a terrific book.” Aiden McGeath, a junior at High Tech High, appreciated the advice from the agent panel. Although he is not currently working on a book, he said it was good to hear what the requirements are. “Five years down the line I might actually write something,” he joked. Krevat, whose play “Fairy Tale” was one of the winning entries in the Playwrights Project and will be staged at The Old Globe this month, said that the conference was founded primarily to inspire students. “It’s really a thrill to be around these people who care so much about writing and it’s great to come to a place where you get such specific information to do it.”

Photo/McKenzie Images everything that I love in a story, and this African-American artist who saw nothing but beauty in the world, he only got a truckload of woes,â&#x20AC;? Palmedo-Smith said. Rancho Santa Fe resident Gigi Fenley held a fundraising event for the film at her home in February (see photos at left, page B8). She said Palmedo-Smith is part detective, part storyteller, unearthing facts to weave a compelling tale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This particular project is captivating. The subject matter has a lot of merit, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that needs to get out, people need to know about it,â&#x20AC;? Fenley said. Ruleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings are â&#x20AC;&#x153;playful and childlike and primitive, but eloquentâ&#x20AC;? at the same time, said Fenley. He used the materials at hand, and one painting is done on an card table, she said. Published reports about his work said that he used ordinary oil-based paints from his local hardware store, and during his lifetime, he attracted little attention, occasionally selling a painting for as little as $15. In the mid-1990s, about 60 of Ruleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings were collected for a traveling exhibit that stopped at museums around the United States, including the San Diego Museum of Art. Fenley said she hopes Palmedo-Smith gets the backing he needs to complete his documentary on Ruley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does amazing things with low budgets,â&#x20AC;? Fenley said of Palmedo-Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one of those creative people. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a boatload of money. He can do a lot with a little.â&#x20AC;? Palmedo-Smith, who said he is now splitting his time between California, Arizona and China, as he works on various film projects, has another fundraising event tentatively planned for April 12 in Rancho Santa Fe. Along with artistic interest, law enforcement authorities are also taking a fresh look at events surrounding Ruleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, including the earlier, suspicious death of Ruleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son-in-law, and the burning down of Ruleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house after his death. There has even been talk of exhuming the bodies of Ruley and his son-in-law, Douglas Harris, to examine them for sign of foul play, Palmedo-Smith said. Palmedo-Smith said he hopes the film and a reissue of his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discovering Ellis Ruley,â&#x20AC;? will bring new attention to the artist and his work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a major thing, it will be on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radar for a few weeks and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream for me to have happen,â&#x20AC;? he said.

By Joe Tash Ellis Ruley may not be a household name, but Glenn Palmedo-Smith aims to raise his profile. Ruley was a black artist who died under mysterious circumstances in 1959 in Connecticut, where he had lived his entire life. Palmedo-Smith, 62, a long-time local resident, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and writer, is fascinated with stories of people and events either forgotten or under-appreciated by society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every project Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done, every book, is the voice for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak for themselves,â&#x20AC;? said Palmedo-Smith. Palmedo-Smith has long been interested in Ruleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story; he wrote a book about the artist in the 1990s, and later shot principal footage for a documentary. The project was shelved for other endeavors, but now PalmedoSmith hopes to complete the film in time to air over public television stations during Black History Month in February 2016. He is seeking to raise $500,000 to complete the film, which would then be donated to PBS for airing across the country. Ruley was a laborer who had no formal art training and came to painting in his late 50s. His frozen body was found on his driveway in 1959, and authorities ruled the death an accident. Palmedo-Smith said troubling signs, such as an unexplained head injury, suggest foul play might have been involved.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Abartis Chemical Company offers effective treatment program for the restoration of abscisic acid in plants, especially the Canary Island Date Palm By Kristina Houck Living in snowy Minnesota, Alfred Alyeshmerni dreamed of living in a sunny paradise. He finally got the chance when he landed a job in San Diego. “I came to Southern California because of these palms,” said Alyeshmerni, who moved to San Diego in 1978. “I love these palms.” Equipped with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and inspired by his love of palm trees, Alyeshmerni eventually decided to leave the laboratory. Founded in 1989, Abartis Chemical Company has pioneered a number of cuttingedge treatments for plants. With a background in science, Alyeshmerni designed and refined an effective and economical treatment program for the restoration of abscisic acid in plants, especially the Canary Island Date Palm. The treatment has proven to be most effective in palms affected with Fusarium disease, a fungus found in plants. Symptoms include wilting, premature leaf drop, browning of the vascular system, rotting, stunting and damping-off. Infected pruning tools, poor soil and other environmental stressors may infect palms with the disease. “I’ve really dedicated most of my time in trying to save those palms,” said Alyeshmerni, who noted “abartis”

(Above left, before treatment and, above right, after treatment.) Courtesy photo means healthy and strong in Greek. “I was determined to find a solution.” Alyeshmerni has focused on reviving palms in the San Diego region and throughout the state for nearly two decades, since developing the long-lasting treatment program in 1996. Initially, he developed the product and sold it to farmers. Today, he mostly works with professional tree care associations, landscapers and homeowners. “Nothing is as great as watching customers so happy when their palms turn around,” he said.

San Diego Jewish Academy students organize third annual ‘Walk to End Genocide’ March 23 By Kristina Houck After learning about the genocides in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo in his eighth-grade Jewish studies class, Zander Cowan wanted to do something to help. Now a junior at San Diego Jewish Academy, Zander is once again organizing a walk to raise awareness, support and hope for survivors of genocide. “We want to bring across a powerful, yet positive message about spreading genocide awareness,” said 17-yearold Zander. He and his classmates, Ilana Engel and Naomi Suminski, are planning the third annual Walk to End Genocide on March 23 at Nobel Park in La Jolla. More than 6 million people have lost their lives to the genocide and mass atrocities in Sudan and DRC, according to Jewish World Watch, which is sponsoring the walk. After studying the Holocaust and learning about ongoing genocides in eighth grade, Zander and his fellow students raised $1,700 for JWW by selling blue rubber bracelets stamped with the words “Decide to End Genocide.” “We said, ‘We’re not just going to sit around and get really upset about this issue,’” he recalled. “We wanted to do something about it.” As freshmen, Zander, Ilana and Naomi organized the first walk at their campus. The inaugural walk had 100 walkers and raised $5,000 for JWW. Last year, the trio expanded their efforts by reaching out to other high schools and religious institutions. About 175 walkers raised $7,500 during the second annual walk at Ocean Air Community Park in Carmel Valley. “Genocide is not just a one religion, one race issue. It affects a broad base of faiths and ethnicities,” Zander said. “We reached out to church groups and other ethnic groups and clubs. That’s how the walk grew.” With Congresswoman Susan Davis as honorary walk

Organized by San Diego Jewish Academy students, the third annual Walk to End Genocide is set for March 23 at Nobel Park in La Jolla. (Above, l-r) Naomi Suminski, Zander Cowan, Ilana Engel. chair this year, organizers hope to raise $10,000 and increase participation to 300 walkers. Davis or a representative from her office is scheduled to speak. Other speakers are still being confirmed, Zander said. Proceeds will fund JWW programs. Founded in 2004, the nonprofit organization educates others about genocide, and establishes relief and development projects to empower and alleviate the suffering of survivors.

Women and girls who have fled the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, are particularly vulnerable to rape while collecting firewood for cooking. One of JWW’s projects equips refugee women with solar cookers so they can use energy from the sun to heat meals and avoid the often dangerous walks to collect firewood. It costs $40 to supply one family with two solar cookers. The cookers will be on display during the walk. “It’s really exciting because you sow the seed that’s your idea. It can only be grown and nurtured and turn into this tree after a bunch of other people have embraced it,” Zander said about the walk. “It gives me hope to see a lot of other people are passionate and as engaged in this as I am.” The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 23 at Nobel Park, located at 8810 Judicial Drive in La Jolla. Registration includes a T-shirt and costs $20 for adults, $15 for students and $5 for children ages 5-11. Children 4 and younger walk for free. This year’s event will include two one-mile walks at 10:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. Beginning at 11 a.m., a rally and action fair will feature informational booths and hands-on projects. One of the projects is SDJA’s butterfly project. Through the educational art program, the school aims to create 1.5 million ceramic butterflies to represent the number of Jewish children killed by the Nazis during World War II. “The walk is a local grassroots student-led event,” Zander said. “It would be great to get as much local support as possible.” For more information and to register for the walk, visit walktoendgenocide.org.

In her latest talk, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cymbidiums Orchids: How to Select, Grow and Divide,â&#x20AC;? Welsh will share and demonstrate how to care for the flowers, which she said are perfect for gardens in Southern California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take great joy in explaining these orchids to people, and sharing tips and hints for growing them,â&#x20AC;? Welsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell people how easy it is and how to do it.â&#x20AC;? Cymbidiums require little water, which Welsh noted is important as Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state drought emergency in January. Having designed her own halfacre drought-tolerant garden, Welsh often highlights native and drought-tolerant plants, which she believes should â&#x20AC;&#x153;become the backboneâ&#x20AC;? of every garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why struggle when there are so many things that grow wonderfully here?â&#x20AC;? Welsh said. Welshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk begins at 10 a.m. March 24 at the Powerhouse Community Center, located at 1658 Coast Blvd. in Del Mar. Following the lecture at 11 a.m., the club will sell plants and garden art from the gardens of Del Mar Garden Club members. Proceeds will benefit the club, which works to beautify the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope people get a shot at the joy of gardening and learn that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really easy,â&#x20AC;? Welsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my main message â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the joy we can take in gardening.â&#x20AC;? For more information about Welsh, visit www.patwelsh.com.

Local gardening expert to speak at Del Mar Garden Club lecture and plant sale By Kristina Houck Pat Welsh doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only have one green thumb. With more than 80 years gardening experience, every finger of the longtime Del Mar resident is green. Welsh will teach community members how to select, grow and divide cymbidiums orchids during a talk March 24 at the Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center. Hosted by the Del Mar Garden Club, the educational lecture will be held in conjunction with the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plant sale. A member of the club since it was first established in 1991, Welsh is often asked to speak at group functions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to be there to answer everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions and celebrate my joy of living in this wonderful town and the joy of gardening here,â&#x20AC;? said Welsh, who has lived in Del Mar since 1955. Born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, Welsh began tending to her parents and grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gardens at 3 years old. After her family immigrated to the United States in 1939, she grew up on a farm in Bucks County, Penn. She watched as her parents attempted to plant a traditional English herbaceous border in their new garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They failed, but they tried,â&#x20AC;? said Welsh, as she laughed at the memories. Planting the seeds in Welsh, her childhood experiences led to a lifelong love of gardening and an ever-blooming career.

The Athletes Saving Athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relay the Messageâ&#x20AC;? walk/run was held at Cathedral Catholic High School on March 2. The event was open to all ages of the public to see how many laps they could walk or run in an hour, and raise funds and awareness about Advocates for Injured Athletes and the importance of athletic training. At the event there were also demonstrations on CPR and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Athletes Saving Athletes was created by Advocates for Injured Athletes, an organization co-founded by Beth Mallon and her son Tommy after Tommy suffered a life-threatening neck fracture in 2009 while playing lacrosse at Santa Fe Christian School. For more information, visit injuredathletes.org. Photos/Jon Clark; More photos online: www.delmartimes.net.

‘Academy Awards Luncheon Party’ Newcomers II of San Dieguito held an “Academy Awards Luncheon Party” Feb. 20 at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. The event was organized by “Girlfriends,” a committee of four ladies within Newcomers who plan events and functions for the members (see more, page B17). Andy Friedenberg served as the Academy Awards guest speaker. Friedenberg started the Cinema Society in San Diego 30 years ago at the old Flower Hill Promenade theater in Del Mar with 30 people. Now, years later, it’s 800 strong and has moved to the new ArcLight theater at UTC in La Jolla. Event attendees dressed as their favorite movie star, dressed for the red carpet, dressed as a fan, or wore top hats and tails. Photos/Jon Clark; For photos online, visit www.delmartimes.net.
