Special district elections fly below most voters’ radar By Joe Tash In the hubbub leading up to this fall’s mid-term congressional elections, races for three local government entities called special districts might attract little or no attention. The candidates who run for seats on the agencies’ boards will oversee critical services that touch on residents’ everyday lives: delivery of drinking water, sewage treatment, fire protection and maintenance of landscaping on public right-of-way. The agencies are the Santa Fe Irrigation District,
the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District and the Rancho Santa Fe Community Services District. Seats on each of the three boards that govern the agencies come up for election in November. The three agencies are among about 70 special districts in San Diego County, which provide a variety of different services, said County Registrar of Voters Michael Vu. In June, a candidate filing guide will be posted on the registrar’s web site, www.sdvote.com, which will list filing deadlines, rules and regulations
related to running for public office and other information. Candidates for special district boards must live within the district’s boundaries, be at least 18 years old, and file papers with the registrar’s office between July 14 and Aug. 8. The filing deadline is extended five days for races in which an incumbent does not seek re-election. Filing papers will also be available at local district offices, Vu said, although they must be turned in at the registrar’s office, 5600 Overland Drive, San Diego. Candi-
dates must pay a fee to include a personal statement in the ballot pamphlet. The irrigation district is divided into five divisions, and in November, three seats are up for election: Division 4, held currently by board president Michael Hogan; Division 5, held by Andy Menshek; and Division 3, held by John Ingalls. Residents of each division vote only for the seat representing them. Ingalls announced this week in a letter to the editor of the Rancho Santa Fe Review that, due to health concerns, he has decided

By Joe Tash Following the completion of its fall race meet in November, the Del Mar Fairgrounds will replace its synthetic racetrack surface with dirt at a cost of about $5 million. The 22nd District Agricultural Association board voted unanimously at its meeting on Tuesday, April 8, to request a permit for the work from the California Coastal Commission. Officials said they expect the commission to approve the request at their next meeting, based on discussions with commission staff. The project entails removing the top 13.5 inches of synthetic material from the track and replacing it with dirt. The current synthetic track was installed in 2007 and the track had a life expectancy of seven years. Josh Rubinstein, executive vice president of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, told the 22nd DAA board the track needs to go back to a dirt surface to be consistent with other tracks in Southern California, because having different types of surfaces can be a hazard to horses and their riders. “We want absolutely the safest surface possible and feel returning to dirt will allow us to do that,” Rubinstein said. This year, the Del Mar track will host two race meets, the first from July 17 to Sept.

By Karen Billing There’s a big difference between his backyard baseball haven at his Rancho Santa Fe home and the spacious Petco Park with its 42,445-seat capacity, but Santa Fe Christian senior Chase Bushor didn’t let the big league pressure get to him during a league match-up against Bishop’s at Petco recently. The 18-year-old pitcher tossed a no-hitter in a 8-0 victory over Bishop’s on April 4, a feat no Padres pitcher has ever accomplished, even in the pitcher’s park that is Petco. “It was unbelievable,” Chase said. “I will never forget that experience, it was everything I’ve ever dreamed of doing and hopefully it’s not my last time on that field.” Chase has been playing baseball for as long as he can remember, probably since he was 3 years old. Despite playing sports such as basketball and football, it was his time on the diamond with Rancho Santa Fe Little League where his passion for the game grew. When Chase was 10, his parents asked him and his sister what they most wanted in their backyard. While his sister picked a pool with a water slide, Chase picked a baseball field. His father, Ed, said
much appreciation and credit is owed to the Rancho Santa Fe Association for allowing the field to be built, which gave Chase the opportunity to pursue his dreams. “He was 100 percent developed on that Rancho Santa Fe backyard field,” said dad Ed. “It is a very special place to me,” Chase said, who has logged hours on the field nearly every day since it’s been built, working on hitting and fielding with his father, friends or just by himself. Chase was called up to the varsity squad at Santa Fe Christian at the end of his freshman season and has been a varsity starter since his sophomore year. The pitcher with the no-hitter under his belt says he’s primarily a shortstop but as a part of the team’s three-man rotation, it just happened that this was his turn to take the mound at Petco Park on April 4. When he took the rubber, Chase said he took the time to look around Petco and let it all sink in. “It was crazy,” he said. As he started fanning batters and innings crept by without a hit, Chase and his teammates became See NO-HITTER, Page AA2

Maurizio Seracini, ‘Master of Old Master Paintings,’ to speak at Viewpoints event in RSF Is it possible to find Leonardo Da Vinci’s most priceless and highly praised work of art, lost for centuries? And, in that quest, as he looks behind other artist’s masterpieces for the missing Da Vinci, will Maurizio Seracini find new perspectives on these artists and the masterpieces they created? These were the questions posed to Seracini more than 30 years ago by one of the world’s leading art experts. He took up the challenge, and is now world renown for his work spotting fakes and uncovering hidden masterpieces. With the backing of the National Geographic Society, the Smithsonian, and others, he has been able to search through more than 2,500 important works of art and architecture. On Wednesday, April 30, Seracini will take the community on a tour of what he has discovered underneath these famous works of art; incredibly beautiful under-drawings that allow us to see the artist’s creativity and his treasure trove of ideas.

Chase said he didn’t feel that his no-hitter game was ever threatened. “My infield made a lot of great plays, I was never really worried,� Chase said. In the game, Chase employed his best pitch, his curveball, and struck out 13 batters and walked two. When the last batter swung through the last pitch, Chase can barely put into words how he felt. “I fist pumped and I thought, ‘I just threw a nohitter at Petco Park’ and my team ran out to congratulate me.

Members of the 22nd DAA board requested a staff report and recommendation on the change of ownership, which the board will consider before voting on the issue in May.
Those in the horse racing community — including jockeys and trainers — generally support the change back to dirt, although there are some fans of a synthetic track surface, Rubinstein said. “The overall feedback from the industry is extremely positive that we’re going back to dirt.�

HBA Currently Accepting Students for Fall 2014 As High Bluff Academy evolved from a learning center into a fully accredited high school, its mission remained focused: Provide a highly specialized education that ďŹ ts the needs of each individual student. Today, HBA continues to offer supplemental programs while building a reputation as a rigorous – and successful – college prep school.

Families select the school for a variety of reasons - from wanting a more customized education to helping a student get back on track or out of an uncomfortable environment. “One size does not ďŹ t all so we are solution-oriented,â€? says Duoto, who graduated with honors from UC Berkeley. “Sometimes it’s helping to repair a teenparent relationship; others it’s understanding their special circumstances.â€? By focusing on the individual through highly specialized programs and carefully selecting its faculty, HBA successfully serves the needs of both high-achieving and struggling students. “I ďŹ nd it gratifying to observe a student who struggled through math classes at a larger public school, now helping her classmates to solve complex precalculus problems,â€? says Duoto. HBA has seen its students admitted to highly selective colleges, U.C. campuses and private colleges, with scholarships of up to $20,000 per year.
“Our students get the advantage of our outstanding teachers, small class size and beautiful facility, but students from neighboring schools can still join our classes during their school day and in our summer school� said Director Jill Duoto. Throughout Jill’s 30 years as an international educator working at schools in Japan, Singapore, Colombia, Brazil, and locally at Francis Parker, she came across families of all types. While each has a unique story, their goal remained the same. “They want their children to have an “We hold our students to high standards,� says Duoto, “but we give them the education that positions them for the college selection process and Principal Jill Duoto on a recent visit to China support they need to succeed.�
Why all students should attend summer school By Jill Duoto When I was a kid, only students who failed a class went to summer school. That is deďŹ nitely not the case any more. With the growing competitiveness of college admissions, students of all abilities are using their summers to gain an edge. Increasing the number of academic classes: Looking at admissions statistics for UCLA for 2013, 70% of all admitted students had taken more than 23 college prep classes. In high schools where students take only six classes a year, it becomes impossible for most students to take enough courses to be competitive without taking summer classes. Going beyond the minimum: Colleges want to see AP classes, but what if your child is not suited for these courses? Having an extra year of math, science or foreign language beyond the minimum requirements can really boost an application. Preparing for AP and increasing GPA: At HBA, advanced students are taking Honors Precalculus to gain the extra GPA point of this weighted class and to prepare for AP Calculus in the fall. Other advanced students are taking Chemistry or Physics to prepare for AP science classes next school year. The summer before 12th grade is the last chance for students to raise their GPAs for college admission.
Lightening the load: Students who are busy with sports, internships and clubs are taking a difďŹ cult class in the summer to lighten their homework load during the school year. Remediating low grades: Even if your child isn’t aiming for a highly competitive university, summer school may be necessary. Many students mistakenly believe that freshman grades don’t count for college. Unfortunately, a D grade in any academic class could render a student ineligible to apply to a four-year university. Meeting NCAA requirements: Student athletes preparing for admission to a D1 or D2 school must be especially careful to have enough NCAA approved courses. Many students gain admission to a school on a sports scholarship, only to ďŹ nd that they have not met the NCAA academic requirements. All courses at HBA are NCAA approved. SAT & ACT Prep: Summer is also the best time for juniors and seniors to take an SAT or ACT prep class allowing them time and focus that they don’t have during the school year. HBA guarantees results! High Bluff Academy’s summer schedule may be found on the school website: www.highbluffacademy.com. Scholarships are available for some group classes.

Patriot Profiles: ‘It’s like a human game of chess’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. By Jeanne McKinney A cleared, mud-walled compound serving as a battlement suddenly explodes with gunfire. A Marine Infantryman peers through the high-powered scope of his M-16 A4 rifle, but can only see so far across a field of dry poppies. He sees a person with a gun in hand on the roof of a concrete bunker. Senses skyrocket among a Marine platoon of Golf Company 2nd Battalion 5th Marines (2/5) as all position to return fire. Squad leader Sergeant Bryan Barrow has his hands full keeping his team in focus, not to mention protecting a civilian cameraman trying to get footage. “What’s going on right now, Sgt. Barrow?” asked the cameraman. “What’s going man? What’s going on is get down,” yells Barrow as he pulls the guy down behind a wall. “You can’t be doing that, brother. People get killed if you do that.” Such is real combat that was captured in National Geographic’s “Battleground Afghanistan,” a 2013 TV series. Barrow, along with six other Marine leaders of Golf Company 2/5, were picked to help detail taking the fight to the enemy during Operation Branding Iron. Their mission was to locate and destroy a certain list of Taliban insurgents and crush crucial opium operations that fund the war against America. Barrow says the hardest part was just as the series’ narrator said, “It was like chasing ghosts.” They knew the Taliban had a stronghold in Zamindawar, known as the most dangerous place in Afghanistan. “That’s why they [the command] wanted to send us there. Of course, we had the best CO to do that, Captain [Ben] Middendorf. He was all about it. We were mostly trying to take out their main command.” At age 4, Barrow was adopted in St. Louis, Mo., then in 1998 moved with his family to Bisbee, Ariz.

Exercise SSang Yong 2014. Photo by Cpl. Henry Antenor (USMC). After graduating from high school, “I saw everyone else going to college and I’ve never really followed the crowd,” says Barrow. He wanted a challenge and was curious. Family Marine Corps history helped influence his thoughts to sign up.“I wanted to make my adopted dad a little more proud of me.” Barrow didn’t want to join the Marine Corps to sit behind a desk. “I figured if you’re going to join what they say is the elite fighting force of the country, if not the world, why wouldn’t you join the fight?” says Barrow, adding, “Most people join the Infantry because they want to go to war. They want to do the gun fighting and come back home with honor and be able to tell their family all the crazy stuff they did.” Al Anbar, Iraq, 2007, was Barrow’s first deployment at age 19, “We got into one or two firefights that weren’t that heavy or crazy, but it was enough to make people think different than normal.” Exposure to combat, culture shock, and a different work ethic changed how he thought and operated from then on. “You have to think you’re already dead” is a mindset Barrow latched on to help take away the fear of dying. His first company commander explained, “If you already picture yourself as a dead man, it makes you that much more dangerous to your enemy.” He also told Barrow’s Bravo Company that while they are home on
leave before deployment, “Enjoy your time with your family, but I want you to think of what your enemy is doing right now. They don’t have vacation time — the whole time they’re preparing.” Preparation and testing were evident to Barrow and fellow Marines in Iraq. “They have ways to do about anything they want…down to as simple as throwing a rock at a soldier or Marine and see how they react. A main concern for us was vehicle-borne IEDS.” They would drive behind patrols and ignore orders to stop, pushing how far they could go before someone pointed a weapon or shot off a warning pyrotechnic. “We had to go through so many steps before we could fire one round — that’s how careful our command would always want to be utilizing rounds in civilian situations. This guy could simply be testing how close they can get to us…it helps them determine how big they want to make their vehicle-borne IED.” “They tested us every day,” Barrow said while thinking back to the time he was fighting the enemy. “They knew what the capabilities were of our scopes on our weapons. They knew about how far out we could see. They are always figuring out new ways to adapt to what we are doing. It’s like a human game of chess.” In “Battleground Afghanistan,” Barrow and his platoon were shown traversing open ground, exposed to the enemy who
are able to shoot through small openings in compounds called “murder holes.” Barrow says, “You really can’t worry about it. You’re scared, nervous, anxious, excited, determined – even thankful that after each step you haven’t lost a leg yet or seen anyone in front or behind you lose a leg or even hear about it over the radio happening to another person. You have to be confident in what you’re doing — if you’re not, the enemy will see that because they are always watching you.” Barrow, nicknamed “bulldog” in the TV series, affirms, “I’m not going to lose any guys.” Control can be hard-won for a squad leader. “Half the time you have to fight your own guys before you can fight the enemy,” says Barrow. “Once the chaotic atmosphere unearths itself – rears its face - you’re in what we call ‘the rush of things’ in enemy contact. Marines that aren’t so experienced can be a little all over the place — freak out. That’s why we do so much training before we go.” How much is skill and how much instinct? Barrow says, “It definitely fluctuates.” During their first Branding Iron engagement, his interpreter shared, “I have a bad feeling about this.” Platoon leader Lt. Neal Jones, who travelled with Barrow said, “How much do you want to bet we’re going to get shot at right now?” “I didn’t take the bet”, says Barrow, “Sure enough, a few steps later we got shot at.” “The most intense [challenge] is being shot at and not knowing where it’s coming from and not knowing when and if you can shoot back.” Barrow learned Arabic, enough to understand and get his points across. Yet he could never be sure if he was talking to friend or enemy. After two weeks of fighting “Taliban ghosts” Barrow’s platoon claimed mission success without any losses. There’s no better reward for Barrow than calling the people he serves with “brothers.” “I would do more for them than I would a blood brother, because of what we’ve done together and been through.” Barrow gets antsy talking about his life on the combat side with civilians who he says “hear him, but don’t understand him” and finds peace when talking with fellow Marines who do. He worries “about starting all over again. I’ve built a lot of rapport and respect. It means something over here.” Barrow’s achievement awards and trophies are passed forward, “The first thing I do when I go home is give them to one of my family members.” Barrow is currently deployed with the 31st MEU, which recently participated in Exercise SSang Yong 2014 in the Republic of Korea, building tactical alliances alongside South Korean Marines.

Juvenile Court Book Club honors RSF Historical Society sees boost longtime Rancho Santa Fe volunteer in demand for community tours By Kristina Houck For 18 years, Juvenile Court Book Club has offered books as an outlet to youth in San Diego’s detention facilities. And for nearly 18 years, Rancho Santa Fe’s Christina Fink has supported the entirely volunteer-driven nonprofit’s efforts. Currently serving as a founding board member and chair of the Book Selection Committee, Fink is also past president and site coordinator of Polinsky Children’s Center for the organization. Juvenile Court Book Club recognized Fink for her service with a Literacy Hero Award during its annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon on April 11 at the Bay View Restaurant in San Diego. “It’s very nice,” Fink said. “I’m very honored.” Founded in 1996, Juvenile Court Book Club offers literacy programs at San Diego’s youth detention facilities. Volunteers work with teachers, probation staff and other employees in the county’s Juvenile Court and Community Schools to create an annual book club curriculum to enhance the state’s public high school English curriculum. “There are a lot of book programs for detainees, but they entail donating the books to the facility and putting them on a cart and dragging them around,” Fink said. “This is different. This is a shared reading experience. You share community. You share ideas and concepts and discus-

(L-R) Captain Gisele Bonitz, honoree Christina Fink and Susan Leonard, supporter. Courtesy photo Students gather monthly with volunteers to discuss the books, which serve as a springboard for discussions of real-life challenges, experiences and issues that are relevant to students in detention. “The ideas that are embedded in them from having gone through this book is just like going through a therapy session,” Fink said. “When they enter a book and when they come out a book — they’re not the same person. And they’re going to re-enter the community as a different person. For those reasons, our books are carefully selected.” Fink began working with the organization as a volunteer reader when her daughter was 9 and her son was 7 years old. She recalled reading to and with her children as they grew up. “It was a wonderful connection with the kids. We were able to talk about stories and characters. Even now, they recommend books to me. It’s like anything else you share — it’s a shared experience, and I really enjoyed that,” she said. “That led me to realize that there were other kids that weren’t getting that shared reading experience.” Today, Fink’s children are out of college. They still share a love of reading, and she continues sharing her love of reading with other children through Juvenile Court Book Club, which serves roughly 140 students per month at four different sites. In addition to book club, the organization offers tutoring, independent reading libraries and college scholarships. “I’ve been a long-time volunteer. It’s just a part of what I do and a part of who I am,” Fink said. “I feel very, very lucky to have discovered this program where I live. It’s been life-changing for me.” For more information about Juvenile Court Book Club, visit www.juvenilecourtbookclub.com.
By Karen Billing There has been a recent boost in Rancho Santa Fe tourism, according to the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society. The group is putting its new walking tour brochures to steady use. The recently updated brochure features photos of what the buildings on the RSF tour looked like in the past and present, and a handy map of the 16 sites and destinations. “[The brochures] enable us to handle tours,” said Joanne Fishman, vice president of the Historical Society board. “Dana (Evanson, the society’s administrator) can take people on group tours but people can also go on a selfguided tour with the brochures. We’ve had an influx of tourism into the village which is exciting to see.” Evanson said they have had tour participants from Orange County and Los Angeles, snowbirds from Del Mar and even some San Diegans. One of the first stops on the tour is the home of the Historical Society itself, the La Flecha House built in 1923, one of architect Lilian Rice’s first designs. Visitors can also check out the original RSF Garden Club location, the board and batten building on the corner of El Tordo and Avenida de Acacias, and Rancho Santa Fe’s old post office, which is now the RSF Association’s office. Many sites, such as the Hilton House (current home of the RSF Senior Center) and The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, appear largely untouched and well
RSF Historical Society board members Joanne Fishman and Kathy McHenry, and RSF Historical Society administrator Dana Evanson (center) display the walking tour literature. Photo/Karen Billing preserved in their original state. Recent visitors have sent notes of thanks to Evanson. One visitor, Linda Sommer, stopped by the Historical Society and learned all about Rice before taking a tour with her friend. “We walked all over town and ended up eating at The Inn,” wrote Sommer. “We had a very leisurely lunch, which was lovely, and enjoyed looking at all the beautiful plants. I did end up buying two books at the library too.” Sommer wrote that she aims to visit the Covenant again with her husband, as well as other friends, one of whom is an architect and was interested in Rice. Evanson said another group of visitors from Redlands are planning a family reunion trip to learn all about the area’s history. The RSF Historical Society will again host its home tour on July 12 from 1-4 p.m. The tour will feature looks into the five “Row Houses” on Paseo Delicias. To arrange a group tour, visit rsfhs.org. To take a selfguided tour, simply stop by the Historical Society and pick up a brochure at 6063 La Flecha.

RSF women co-chair fundraising gala for 50th anniversary of Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas By Kristina Houck Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas has a special place in Joanne Marks — and her family’s — hearts. After 16 years of fainting spells, doctors at Scripps Encinitas discovered why her husband suffered from syncope. His heart had been stopping. He has since been implanted with a pacemaker. A month later, her brother-in-law had a heart attack. He was also treated at the Encinitas facility. “We experienced wonderful care,” said Marks, who lives with her family in Rancho Santa Fe. “It’s a very significant comfort to know that the highest quality care of the nation is in your backyard.” Scripps Encinitas recently marked its 50th anniversary, having grown from a small convalescent center to a full-service hospital that cares for more than 80,000 patients a year.
To celebrate the occasion and raise funds for a hospital expansion project, Marks and three other Rancho Santa Fe women are co-chairing the Scripps Encinitas Gala April 26. “Nearly all people in the United States are going to use a hospital at the beginning of their life, end of their life or sometime in between,” Marks said. “If you want a hospital of quality, the community has to get behind it.” Founded as Encinitas Convalescent Hospital, the facility opened April 9, 1964, to provide long-term care for patients recovering from illness or surgery. Today, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas has 158 beds, more than 40,000 emergency room visits annually and delivers nearly 2,000 babies each year. “The doctors, the level of care — it is very high quality,” said Catherine Nicholas, another co-chair from Rancho Santa Fe. “It’s

Photo courtesy of Scripps Health. a leading facility.” “I like that it’s personal,” added co-chair Mary Miller. Three of the Rancho Santa Fe mother’s five children were born at the Encinitas facility. “This is a jewel. You go in and you’re not a number. They know you.” An almost 62,000-square-foot, two-story critical care building is set to open this summer. The building will house a 27-bed emergency department on the first floor, which will more than double the size of the hospital’s emergency room. The second floor will include 36 beds for patients recovering from surgery or acute illnesses. Scripps is two-thirds of the way toward its $58 million philanthropic goal, having
already raised $39 million for the project, which will also be funded by borrowing and operating margin. “From Del Mar to Rancho Santa Fe, and Carlsbad to Oceanside, this is something that unites all of North County,” Miller said. “They care for everyone.” RSF’s Franci Free is the fourth gala co-chair. The gala is sold out, but those interested can contact Emily Wilson at the Scripps Health Foundation at 760633-6888 or wilson.emily@scrippshealth.org to be added to the waitlist.

We encourage everyone to share ccagala. com with their friends and plan to expand the bidding through social media.” The auction will feature an exciting variety of categories, including sports, entertainment, vacations and travel, education prep, unique experiences, home, fitness, beauty and food, and dining.

By Rob LeDonne At the recent first annual Encinitas Student Film Festival, four students from Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Cinema department took home top honors and received the Award of Excellence, Award of Distinction, and People’s Choice Award for their short film “Milquetoast.” The film, about at a girl who can’t express her emotions facially, was the brainchild of senior Jason Phillips and classmates Richard Duan, Jennifer Smart and Andrew Boyles. “Getting congratulated and praised for ‘Milquetoast’ is an amazing feeling,” Phillips said. “We’re really honored and thankful that it was received so well and all the hard work we put into it paid off.” Added Mark Raines, the Envision Cinema coordinator at Canyon Crest: “I am so proud of how well our students did at the festival. The creativity and production value displayed in their work is awesome.” Canyon Crest had a total of nine films in the festival and they were produced by students in the Academy’s after-school program, Envision Cinema Conservatory. According to Raines, the conservatory is “a credited high school visual art course designed to train, prepare, and guide students in video and film production.” “I first got involved in the conserva-
tory through meeting other members,” said Phillips, who is planning to go on to study film production at USC in the fall. “It’s been an amazing experience to learn about film and start making these shorts. Plus, Mr. Raines is a huge mentor to all of us. He teaches teamwork and leadership, and I’ve learned so much about myself as a filmmaker from what he’s taught us.” Along with making short films, the students at Canyon Crest work on a variety of projects throughout the year, including editing TED Talks, producing minute-long short films, and two-minutelong documentaries. The submission to the festival was done through its official website. The chosen films were screened at the historic La Paloma Theater in Encinitas, and films were split up into two categories: the Junior Division (with films made by students who are between 1st and 8th grade) and the Senior Division (9th through 12th). Raines said that seeing his students succeed is one of the many perks of his job: “I have the amazing opportunity to create an environment that helps students find, discover, and explore an exciting visual art area that could lead to a career in video, film, or television, but I also really enjoy teaching students skills in a real world context that could help them in ev-

Plus, I’m extremely fortunate to work at a school where the administration empowers the staff and students to thrive and succeed.” For now, the students at the Conservatory will continue to hone their craft and perhaps set their sights on Hollywood. “After college, I hope to work in film somewhere,” said Phillips. “I’d like to direct and maybe act... but first I have to see where the world takes me.”

Hoax ads called for rape in revenge •Prosecutors say bogus postings amount to a crime; defendant says it was prank that got out of control By Kristina Davis, special to the Rancho Santa Fe Review Consumed with bitterness over losing her Carmel Valley dream home to a couple with a higher bid, Kathy Rowe found an outlet for her anger: revenge. But what she is calling a childish prank, prosecutors say was a perverse scheme to have a woman raped. The payback against the young husband and wife homebuyers started mildly enough, court records show. Putting a stop on their mail. Signing them up for catalogs
for incontinence supplies. Sending religious missionaries to their doorstep. It’s what Rowe did next that could send her to prison. She posed as the wife in online adult entertainment ads titled “Carmel Valley Freak Show,” inviting strange men over to the couple’s home for sex and describing scenarios of a rape fantasy to those who responded. The wife’s photo and address were included in the postings. “I love to be surprised and have a man just show up at my door and force his way

in the door and on me, totally taking me while I say no,” Rowe wrote to one man who responded. One man decided to follow up on the offer, but was thwarted once by a locked gate and a second time when the husband answered the door. A legal dispute is now brewing over the felony charges Rowe faces in connection with the postings. The state appeals court ruled on Friday that Rowe, 52, will have to answer to felony charges of solicitation of rape and solicitation of sodomy — two charges that a Superior Court judge had previously dismissed from the case. At issue is Rowe’s intent. Did she really mean for her to be raped? Does it even matter? Pranks Escalate Rowe, a county administrative analyst, thought she had found the perfect home for her family in 2011. It was a single story, to accommodate her severely disabled daughter, and had a pool, to provide exercise for her husband following a heart attack. But due to miscommunication with real estate agents, and a more attractive bid from the other couple, she lost the house. In a letter to a judge, Rowe described the moment as “devastating.” “The anger and grief over losing that house (and especially in the way we did) drove me to behave in a very childish way and to do what I thought were childish pranks to let off steam and ease the pain,” Rowe said. “I never intended for See REVENGE, page A20

Former Ross space in Solana Beach’s Lomas Santa Fe Plaza to remain empty for now By Kristina Houck Although it was previously announced HomeGoods would open a new location in the Lomas Santa Fe Plaza shopping center, a representative of the Solana Beach center said a lease has not yet been signed with the chain of home furnishing stores. “We’re still working through the lease process,” said Chris Sullivan of American Assets Trust, Inc., the plaza’s operator.
During a City Council meeting in February 2013, Councilwoman Lesa Heebner announced HomeGoods would open a store at the site, which is located at 961 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Ross Dress for Less was previously located at the space, which closed on Jan. 20, 2013, after its lease expired. Sullivan could not provide any other information as to why a lease has not been signed, or whether a different company would fill the space. “I have no other updates,” he said.

Andre and Thomas Ohno-Machado. Courtesy photo have I’ve gotten from them.� Ohno-Machado’s mission to raise awareness for autism can be traced to both the local and national level. While at Torrey Pines, he founded the Autism Awareness Club because when he arrived at high school, OhnoMachado “was thinking of doing something philanthropic,� he said. “I knew a lot of my friends hadn’t even heard of autism, and the ones that did didn’t know much. Plus, I view autsim as a sub-topic of the larger one of treating people equally.� The club was active throughout Ohno-Machado’s time at Torrey Pines, whether it was attending charity events, holding fundraisers, or volunteering. One highlight was bringing to TPHS guest speaker Peter Jensen, whose autistic son (who attended Torrey Pines) perished during the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. In addition, Ohno-Machado has traveled to Washington, DC, multiple times to meet with California Senator Barbra Boxer (D) to advocate for better government funding. “I was doing some research and saw that funding was a big issue; some of the numbers are absurd to look at,� Ohno-Machado said. “I wrote a bunch of emails to public officials and got some responses, including from Senator Boxer’s staff. The first time I met her was nerve-wracking for me, but this year my public speaking got a lot better. It was a great experience, but I’m still learning more about it every day.� Throughout his advocacy, Ohno-Machado is still helping his brother Andre (who currently attends the Institute for Effective Education in Mission Hills) cope with the disorder. “Andre has his ups and downs. Right now, he’s doing well and likes biking and swimming. We always try to keep him active and on a healthy diet.� As for the progress Autism Awareness has made in the past few years, Ohno-Machado says it’s “nice to see� but more can always be done. “The main reason for the extra awareness is that rates have been going up so quickly. More and more people are being affected by it,� he said. “There’s still a lot of progress to be made in the autism and mental disability area, especially with vocabulary and the way people are portrayed in the media. There’s more to be done, and I hope that happens sooner than later.�

By Rob LeDonne April is Autism Awareness Month and one person who no doubt is taking part in awareness activities is Thomas Ohno-Machado, a 2013 graduate of Torrey Pines High School, who is currently attending UC Santa Cruz. “Autism affects people who can’t help themselves and have no voice because it’s silenced by a great majority of people who don’t understand what they’re going through,� Ohno-Machado said. “It’s important because the rates are increasing and people will know at least one person in their lifetime who has autism. It’s the most common developmental disorder right now.� Autism is close to Ohno-Machado’s heart for many reasons, mainly because his middle brother, Andre, has the disorder. “He was diagnosed when he was just 1 and a half,� remembers Ohno-Machado. “I first learned about autism by attending group sessions for young kids with siblings that have it.� Andre’s diagnosis took the family by surprise, especially Andre and Thomas’ mother, Lucila, who is currently the associate dean for informatics for the UC San Diego School of Medicine, and professor and chief of the Division of Biomedical Informatics in the Department of Medicine. “It was a learning experience for all of us. There’s a big difference from studying something on the outside to experiencing it inside your own family,� Ohno-Machado said. “She was completely new to how things work. You can talk about numbers, statistics and medicines all day, but what it really comes down to is how autism impacts not only the person, but the people around them. My parents understand that well, and all the values I

By Kristina Houck Betty Ann Hoehn remembers riding in the back of the bus as a young child. It wasn’t by choice. She couldn’t sit in the front when she traveled with Corinne, her African-American nanny. Born in 1954, Hoehn grew up in Memphis, Tenn. The local author shares memories of her childhood in the segregated South in her newly released memoir, “One River, Two Oceans and Raindrops in Between: My Journey through Life, Love and Recovery.� “I was raised by a black woman. Even though it’s a memoir and touches on many topics of my life, Corinne is the spiritual thread throughout the entire book,� Hoehn said. “It’s a story of an abiding friendship that crossed racial lines — the unbreakable bond that we had.� Corinne raised Hoehn from the time she was 5 until she went off to college. “She was an educated woman. She had a college education, but because of her color, she could not get a job beyond being a nanny,� Hoehn said. “She was a very strong, amazing woman.� “One River, Two Oceans and Raindrops in Between� captures the pair’s relationship. It is the second edition to Hoehn’s first book, “Corinne and Me: An Unlikely Friendship,� which was released in 2011. In addition to a new title, the second edition includes roughly 90 extra pages. “I had never written
a book and really didn’t know what to do the first time,� said Hoehn, noting she used AuthorHouse, a self-publishing service that cut 70 pages of her original manuscript. “I just wasn’t happy with it. “The whole story was really important to me, and I thought it would be important to the reader.� The book, which Hoehn has worked on since 2007, also explores addiction and loss. For years, Hoehn watched family members succumb to alcohol addiction. After losing her mother and going through a divorce in the early 1990s, she also battled the disease. “It’s a story of unconditional love, it’s a story of hope, it’s a story of fighting and overcoming addiction, it’s a story of friendship,� Corinne said. “It’s a story of life and death.� Corinne raised Hoehn from 1959 to 1974. Hoehn went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Bowdoin College in 1976 and later earn a master’s from the University of Memphis in 1997. She moved to San Diego in 1977, and has lived in Del Mar since 1999. A former adjunct professor of art history at the University of San Diego, she currently serves as an art history guest lecturer at local museums, as well as the Betty Ford Center. Corinne died in the late 1980s. Hoehn last saw her nearly 30 years ago, in 1986, when she introduced her then 4-year-old daughter and nearly 2-year-old
rancho santa fe california Betty Ann Hoehn
son to her longtime friend. “It’s a story of Corinne’s influence on my life,� said Hoehn, now 60 years old. “It’s really through her spirit that I’ve overcome different obstacles in my life.� “One River, Two Oceans and Raindrops in Between� is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Piano prodigy Umi Garrett to perform at Rowe PAC April 27 A special, added performance to Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe’s (CCRSF) 14th season will feature piano prodigy Umi Garrett. Umi was recently awarded the great honor of being “A Young Steinway Artist� and, of course, will be playing on a Steinway Concert Grand. The concert will be held at the Performing Arts Center at Rancho Santa Fe, on the R. Roger Rowe School campus, 5927 La Granada, Rancho Santa Fe, Sunday afternoon, April 27, beginning at 3 p.m. Umi, now 13 years old, has skyrocketed to superstardom since her appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, in May 2009. She has thrilled audiences with her prodigious talent and youthful charm, performing on several continents and garnering numerous prizes. This past year she performed at the Perugia Music Fest in Italy, visited
several works by Chopin. This concert is sponsored by CCRSF to enhance performing arts presentations for the neighboring area and to spotlight this excellent venue, the Performing Arts Center at Rancho Santa Fe. The PAC was financed, in part, by a dedicated group of local residents, who raised about $2 million for that purpose. It has excellent acoustics, comfortable seating, and has been very adaptable to the needs and uses by the school. As a departure from the normal CCRSF productions, held at the newly renovated Village Church Fellowship Hall, this concert will feature light refreshments at intermission. However, donors will be hosted to a reception at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, immediately following the performance. Also, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe will offer a complimentary glass of wine, specially selected by the sommelier, for each adult ticket stub holder ordering a dinner entrÊe from the dinner menu in the Morada Restaurant (not applicable to the lounge menu). This concert will introduce a new venue to many CCRSF subscribers and showcase an amazing talent performing in a professional auditorium. As a reminder, tickets for CCRSF’s 15th consecutive season are on sale now. Additional information can be found online at the website, www.ccrsf.org or call Gail Kendall, president, at (858) 248-0892. The e-mail address is ccrsfmembership@gmail.com

By Karen Billing The Friends of Gonzales Canyon group is looking for local residents to come out and learn more about the resource that is right in their backyards. On Saturday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to noon, the Friends will host a clean-up as part of I Love A Clean San Diego’s Creek to Bay annual event. Volunteers will help remove some old chain link fencing from alongside the trail and thinning eucalyptus saplings from near the Sword Way trailhead. Freddy Arthur, the captain of the Friends of Gonzales Canyon, hopes people will attend the event and continue to stay involved. Young children can get involved with litter pick-up and light weeding, older kids and adults can assist with larger projects led by group leaders and park rangers, including repairs to trails and fencing. “We are looking for volunteers who want to come out to a really special place and spend at least three hours making it even better,” Arthur said. “We are looking for rare individuals that will take a leadership role in making Friends of Gonzales Canyon an active and effective group for stewardship and enhancement of the canyon.” The canyon pops with wildflowers in the spring and several trails wind through to provide a natural escape. Gonzales stretches from communities around Torrey Pines High School out to Old El Camino Real and east to Pacific Highlands Ranch. Arthur said Gonzales Canyon is special for its wide variety of habitats in a relatively small area. Plant communities include maritime succulent scrub and chaparral, all surrounding a lush strip of riparian woodlands with willows, sycamores and marshes that provide water for the abundant canyon wildlife. Arthur said trail users should
The Sycamore Trail in Gonzales Canyon. know there is some poison oak in the riparian areas, as well, and should learn what it looks like each season. “Several trails meander through the canyon and are open to dogs to leash, hikers, horses and mountain bikes,” Arthur said. The Torrey Pines Loop Trail, accessed off the trailhead near Torrey Highlands Park off Lansdale Drive, is the most challenging with 3.5 miles of sometimes steep terrain. The Sword Way Trail is about two miles of level trail and it can be extended by taking a detour to the Lagoon Trail that winds through the western end of the canyon. San Diego Canyonlands staff has been working with the city’s open space park rangers and community members to care for Gonzales since 2006.
“Our open spaces are a priceless resource in a rapidly developing area,” said Eric Bowlby, director of San Diego Canyonlands. “San Diego County has more threatened and endangered species than any other county in the contiguous United States and many of those species are dependent on our local canyons for habitat.” Bowlby said while park rangers keep an eye on these areas, they need volunteer help with trail improvements and restoration projects and to keep people aware of concerns within the canyons. There are over 150 canyons throughout urban San Diego and San Diego Canyonlands has several Friends groups that promote their mission to protect and restore the natural habitats by fostering education and community involvement, stewardship and advocacy. Last year, SDCL capped a three-year mission to get nearly 6,600 acres of city-owned canyons and open space dedicated for permanent protection, an act supported by the Carmel Valley, Del Mar Mesa, Torrey Pines and Torrey Hills’ Community Planning boards. Now that the canyons have become dedicated land, a city-wide vote must be held to use the land for non-park or non-open space purposes. As part of the dedication and planning for the future, the canyon has been going through a Canyon Enhancement Planning Program. “We will be focusing in the coming months to increase local knowledge about the canyon through guided hikes and to foster stewardship with monthly cleanup events, trail work days and restoration projects,” said Arthur. Two Mesa College interns are in the final stages of

To your health: ‘Belly Button’ hysterectomy now a reality By Bruce Kahn, M.D., Scripps Health One inch. Now that’s all it takes to perform a hysterectomy. Thanks to recent improvements in robotic surgery technology, it is now possible that an entire hysterectomy—surgical removal of the uterus— can be completed through a one-inch incision hidden in the belly button. This new technique, referred to as “single-site” hysterectomy because only the single incision is needed, will truly provide “scarless” surgery for many patients. Hysterectomy is the most common gynecologic surgery in the United States; by age 60, more than one third of all women will have undergone the procedure. This is due to the fact that hysterectomy is often the recommended treatment for numerous reproductive issues when more conservative treatments, such as medications, have been unsuccessful. Hysterectomy may be necessary for conditions including uterine or cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, menstrual disorders or severe endometriosis, a painful condition which occurs when uterine tissue grows outside of
the uterus. In the U.S., approximately 600,000 women have a hysterectomy each year. In the past, a hysterectomy traditionally required open surgery with a large incision in the lower abdominal area, a minimum of several days in the hospital, and an extended recovery period that included several weeks of rest. Pain could be significant and, as with any open surgery, there were greater risks of complications such as bleeding and infection. In many cases, traditional open surgery has been replaced by laparoscopic (and robotic) surgery that requires several small incisions placed in the abdomen instead of a large incision. Several thin instruments, along with a video camera attached to a telescope, are inserted through the incisions. The camera transmits an image of the internal organs onto a television monitor, and the surgeon uses the image as a guide. This type of minimally invasive surgery has fewer risks than open surgery and provides additional benefits such as reduced length of surgery, less pain, less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay and re-
covery time, and lower cost. However, it does result in several small scars. Single-site robotic hysterectomy provides all of the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, but in most cases will leave no visible scar at all. Robotic surgery provides several other advantages over traditional laparoscopic surgery as well. These include a true 3-D view of the surgical field and more precise replication of the surgeon’s hand motions. Single-site robotic technology uses curved tubes which allow surgeons to operate from several angles using just one insertion site. In traditional laparoscopic surgery, this approach would cause the surgeon to have “crossed hands”; the surgeon’s left hand would operate the instrument viewed on the right side of the surgical field and vice versa. This is very difficult to do and is the main reason single-site surgery has not been more widely used until now. The robotic computer system can “flip” right-hand and left-hand instrument control, so that during surgery, the instrument viewed on the right can now be controlled by
the right hand and the instrument on the left can be controlled by the left hand. When the surgeon is operating at the robotic console, it is truly like having tiny hands in the operating field. This allows more precise and safer tissue dissection, and is one key to allowing the surgery to proceed smoothly. As the technology continues to improve and more surgeons are trained in robotic surgery, single-site hysterectomy should become more widely available, but it is not yet an option for every patient. For example, patients who have significant scarring, adhesions or large fibroids may require several small incisions instead of just one. However, as this technology matures, more surgeons and more patients will be able to take advantage of this procedure. Bruce Kahn, M.D., is an OB/GYN with Scripps and director of the Scripps Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

REVENGE them to be hurtful.” The couple, as well as their lawyer, did not respond to a request for an interview. According to detailed court filings in the case, Rowe first tried to buy the home from the couple, sending them a letter offering them $100,000 above the asking price. It was declined. Then weird things started to happen. The husband testified during a preliminary hearing that about a month after he and his wife moved in, people came by the door interested in a “for sale” posting on the real estate website Zillow. By Christmas, mail had stopped coming to the house. A stop had been issued in his wife’s name. A strange assortment of books and magazines also started to appear in their mailbox. In February 2012, the husband learned that Valentine’s Day cards had been sent in his name to many of the wives in the neighborhood. After getting a strange call about his property taxes, he did a Google search for his wife’s name. What he found was shocking. There was his wife’s photo with ads for “Carmel Valley Adult Entertainment.” “Adult entertainment of all types when my husband is not home. Not for the faint of heart,” one posting read. Further searches found a posting for a high school New Year’s Eve party at their house, and a Fourth of July Mexican fireworks giveaway. He called police.
continued from page A3 Explicit emails The postings left the couple frightened, and mystified. “They were definitely terrified,” said Deputy District Attorney Brendan McHugh. “They went out and got all kinds of security.” The prosecutor even requested police do extra patrols by their home. Law enforcement traced the computer address of the online postings to Rowe. A search of her Carmel Valley apartment turned up a number of explicit emails to two men who had responded to the ads. “Just stop by any Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. I like the element of surprise,” Rowe had written one of the men. When one of the men actually went to the house, but found a locked gate, Rowe wrote him back and encouraged him to try again, court records show. The man did later that day, but was surprised when the husband answered the door. “I had to make an excuse for why I was there,” the man wrote Rowe back later. Rowe stopped communicating with the men after that. She said she became disturbed when one of the men sent her a nude photo. By July, the Rowes had found a new home that fit their needs, and she turned her focus elsewhere. “While I am ashamed of my actions, I did not do things which I thought were harmful or scary,” Rowe said in a letter to the judge. She said if the couple had contacted her, she would have stopped.
“But because I never heard from anyone, I never knew if these activities were noticed or the impact they were having on the family.” She said the scheme was an outlet of sorts for her, as she was coping with being the sole caretaker for her teenage daughter, who has a genetic disorder that gives her the intellect of a 4- to 5-year-old. She described the constant care for the girl — sleeping in a chair at her bedside each night and driving her to 100 doctor appointments each year — while still holding down one to two jobs to pay for the medical costs. Both she and her husband suffer health problems of their own. The devotion to her daughter earned Rowe recognition in 2006 as one of the county’s top 50 Moms of the Year in a contest sponsored by Time Warner. Friends and colleagues have also weighed in, writing supportive letters to the judge. Intent questioned Rowe was arrested in October 2012 and charged with the solicitation charges, as well as four counts of identity theft and one count of misdemeanor harassment. After a preliminary hearing, San Diego Superior Court Judge Runston Maino dismissed the two solicitation charges, ruling that he didn’t have a strong suspicion that Rowe intended the men to actually rape the homebuyer. He called the men who responded to the ads “wimpish guys who didn’t appear to intend to go through with a rape, a scenario they thought would be consensual.” Maino also reduced the four counts of
identity theft to misdemeanors. Superior Court Judge Joan Weber reviewed the decision at the request of the District Attorney’s Office and upheld it. Prosecutors, in their appeal, said the language Rowe used in her emails couldn’t have been more clear in the intent. They said Rowe’s instruction to the men “is not only the product of a deeply disturbed mind, it is also the description of forcible rape.” A divided three-judge panel of the state appeals court agreed, ruling prosecutors had met the burden of proof to allow the solicitation charges to be argued at trial. Solicitation becomes a crime when a verbal request is made with criminal intent, the judges said. “The harm is in the asking, and it is punishable irrespective of the reaction of the person solicited,” the court said, quoting case law. Justice Alex McDonald penned a dissenting opinion, saying the evidence in the case concerns consensual sex. Even the language suggesting force is done in a manner to make the consensual encounter “more exciting,” he said. Rowe’s attorney, Charles Sevilla, said Tuesday that he agreed with the dissenting opinion, that Rowe had “no felonious intent for these men to commit sex crimes.” Sevilla said he plans to petition for a rehearing by the appeals court, or appeal to the state Supreme Court. If Rowe loses, then the felony charges will be added to her misdemeanor case.

I still keep tabs on the games, but I wish I could go back to see them more often.” These days, Cash’s time is consumed by her hectic volleyball and academic schedule at Pepperdine (where she’s a film major). “When I was first looking at schools, I had a list of every single college I was thinking about and weighed them based on how their academics and volleyball was,” Cash says. “They were one of the schools that had both. I was intimidated at first, but my first season was one of the dream seasons you hear about. We went all the way to Elite 8, and traveled to Hawaii for the championships.” Pepperdine didn’t end up taking home the main prize, but at the end of the season Cash was named the West Coast Conference’s “Freshman of the Year.” “I don’t know why, but throughout the years I seem to get better at playing,” Cash explains. “I was the kind of girl that would always go to extra practices, and I was a gym rat.

it makes you want to continue and push harder.” From here on out, Cash has lofty goals. After taking this upcoming summer off to live with her sister in France (in what will be a rare break from playing), she’s looking forward to her senior year playing for Pepperdine which starts in August. However, once her senior season ends she doesn’t want that to be the last of her time on the court. “My life goal is to graduate, go play professionally, then win a gold medal at the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020,” Cash explains. “Based on my age and timing, that could be my best shot at making the team.”

By Rob LeDonne Samantha Cash was only 11 years old when she started playing volleyball, and during those early days she freely admits now she had little skill. “When I first started playing, I was so bad,” she remembers. “The team I was on was absolutely terrible. We were last in the county, and barely won a game. However, it was a great experience because we were all having fun.” Cash, a 2011 graduate of Canyon Crest Academy, has come a long way from her humble beginnings playing the sport. She’s currently not only a star player for Pepperdine University’s volleyball team, but can currently be found in the Pepperdine record books. “I don’t pay attention to any of the accolades, but I’m pretty sure my mom does,” she said from the school’s Los Angelesarea campus. As a middle blocker for the team, Cash has a hitting percentage of .322, a feat that ranks her tied for eighth in the Pepperdine record book. “My hitting percentage I do follow, because I’m always trying to beat it,” said Cash. “I’ll beat it next year.” Cash honed her volleyball skills all over North County; she’s played for various club teams (including Coast Volleyball Club), and was also a major part of Canyon Crest’s women’s volleyball team. “School volleyball (compared to club) is so much fun because as competitive as it is, it’s a social thing,” Cash explains. “You see your teammates every day at school, and then you practice and

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Each Covenant property owner As the pieces to this strange puzzle of nasty negativism start to fall into place, I am reminded of the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.” It seems we have a Henry Potter here in our midst. Remember him? He was the wealthy, compassionless, selfish character who wanted to buy out the town and used any means to try to do so. Who are the people behind all the $$$$ being spent on the many paged and misleading Fed Ex/UPS mailings, the deceptive website that is imitating the RSF Association, blogs and Facebook pages? These efforts at deception are to make people think that the negative information is coming from the Association, which it is not. It is believed that “Potter” and his cronies want the Garden Club vote to fail and guess who could purchase it? Do they want their candidates to get on the board so that they can take over the Ranch by having a majority on the board to implement their agenda? I have heard that one of their agenda items is to replace all our Association staff with an outside management firm. They don’t like what we have here and I am wondering why they moved here, aren’t you? It has been claimed that we need… openness, fiscal prudence and inclusiveness…when innuendo, falsehoods and rumors are being spread. Another claim is that the Association has deliberately kept people from registering to vote. Anyone has been able to go to the Association for any information, any time and it is available to all residents unless prohibited by law. The information on registering to vote is in the welcome package from the Association given to all new homeowners. Don’t be fooled, take the time to check out where these claims are coming from, who is behind it and why. Do you really want to make Rancho Santa Fe like every other community or do you want it to remain the rural, lovely, unique place that you have come to love and enjoy? I have lived here for 16 years, have served on many committees, belong to the Golf Club, Garden Club, Senior Center, Library and Historical Society, walked the trails, enjoyed Rancho Days, been in the 4th of July Parade, hosted many events at our home, enjoyed the friendship of many residents and seeing everyone at the Post Office. What a great place this is! Protect it! Patty Queen (with help from George Bailey)

RSF Garden Club giveaway proposal Since the RSF Garden Club receives next to nothing in the “sale” agreement, why not just gift Garden Club property to the RSF Association? This requires no use of assessment monies, just a change of title. In the current agreement the Garden Club would receive no monies, and really only receive from the “sale” the use of the small office in the attic, 15 days of use in the meeting hall space of the building, and a lease back to rent the Shoppe space for $3,400 per month for 10 years maybe. Just give the Rancho Santa Fe Association the See PROPOSAL, page A27

should have equal voter rights We need to get voter registration much higher prior to a significant capital outlay for the RSF Garden Club building. Having attended the March 20, 2014 RSF Association board meeting, the board estimated nearly 100 percent of those property owners eligible to vote have registered. This is wrong. Most people would accept a vote of the community as to whether or not this building should be purchased, but we still have 40 percent of our residents not registered to vote. The board was self- congratulatory about the recent rush to register, believing their “outreach” program had sparked Covenant residents to register to vote. They are badly mistaken. As 10-year Covenant residents (Avenida Maravillas), my wife and I were informed only weeks ago that we were required to register to vote. We had always assumed it was automatic with our property purchase and the payment of our HOA dues, as it is in every other community with which we are familiar. We were not notified by the board’s
“registration outreach” program, but by other neighbors who were equally shocked to learn of this registration process. We have serious concerns about the board’s governance, direction and transparency (let alone the massive wrong to Ann Boon). Covenant residents have rushed to register by concern bordering outrage. Additionally, each Covenant property owner should have equal voter rights, whether it be one or two votes per property. I own two Covenant properties and pay significant 2x RSF HOA dues, but only get to vote for one property. Where is the equality of ownership? What is democratic or equitable about that policy, let alone legal? Giving property owners equal voting rights will also increase the actual voter registration. Let’s have a complete drive for voter registration prior to deciding whether we want this large capital allocation. A small minority of residents shouldn’t be allowed to decide on their own how to spend our money. Scott DeGoler
Does history repeat itself ? Historians say “Yes,” because human nature does not change. Angel-watchers say “Yes” if the same 1 percent keep rotating through all Covenant power positions. (See “Thinking Philosophically” Review, May 2002, which contrasted “Open” and “Closed” systems.) Do we need angels? Is history relevant in RSF now? A March Op-Ed said staff loyally served “through dangerous times and deserve their compensation.” Now that “their compensation” is known thanks to sacked ex-President Ann Boon, all members can form our own opinions. Should raises be given because Richard King filed off his fingerprints, and built a wrought iron fence rapidly covered with vines? Apparently the ex-Art Juror author has no problem spending $1 million to deny King a fence type existing all over the Covenant, and even at a President’s house, or letting Art Jury consultants solicit applicants. Then the author dug up the past with a variety of hearsay claims. A former RSF Association employee and Notary backdated an easement, generally abused his position, and was suspected of rigging RSF Association bids for friends. The backdating was admitted behind closed doors, but the RSF Association publicly discredited whistleblower Rick Heidt and made several false statements. Is that the government we want or deserve? Colorful Heidt ran for the board and later claimed PIC “ran the Covenant from bunkers beneath their houses.” Wow! What is PIC?
When I was a young naïve board candidate, an ex-president wrote an Op-Ed saying that “PIC (Public Interest Committee) Should Stay Out Of RSF Elections.” Someone said it meant “Probable Investigation Cover-up,” or maybe “Permanent Iron Curtain,”or maybe “People Into Control.” Another said it stood for “Permanently Imploded Civility” or “Public Interest Crushed.” Not easy to find out about this secret group that calls opponents “malcontents.” Others said they “PICked” candidates for most RSF Association positions, then pulled invisible strings. An old bird told me it meant “Partisan Inflammatory Cabal,” which created two years of turmoil and a decade of damage, by showing that directors PIC dislikes can be recalled if one of their children lives in the family guest house, while another board member was renting their guest house to a non-relative. If voters want a “Permanent Iron Curtain” here, listen to PIC (“Plotting Insider Caliphate” or “Pleads Innocence Constantly”), and watch their divisiveness return. That old president was correct. “PIC Should Stay Out Of RSF Elections” and remain secret and invisible. Fewer members are drinking their 1 percent Cool-Aid, so unhealthy for 99 percent of us. Don’t let history repeat itself. This election matters. Bill Strong Bill Strong was an RSF Association Director from 2001-04, and vice president for two years, then sailed 40,000 miles on the seven seas.

They’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on slick mailings, emails and FedEx packages filled with inaccurate and deceptive claims. • They attack the motives of the Garden Club and its members, but fail to mention that proceeds from the sale of the RSF Garden Club will be used by the Garden Club to create a fund named the RSF Garden Club Community Enhancement Fund at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. • They support construction of a community pool and fitness facility without providing estimates of the cost to residents, but fail to mention that purchase of the Garden Club property in no way precludes investment in these or other projects. • They question the legitimacy of a previous community vote in which 85% of residents supported purchase of the Garden Club, but fail to mention that the procedure for conducting that election was the same one our community has used for years, and which is mandated by a previous court settlement.
• They attack the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s dues structure, but fail to mention that structure is mandated by state law and consistent with the requirements of Proposition 13. • They question cost estimates for operation of the Garden Club facility, but fail to mention a thorough financial analysis was performed by the RSF Association Board and Finance Committee, which determined there would be no additional costs to the Association for operations and maintenance. • They created a bogus website – www.RanchoSantaFeAssociation.com – designed to mislead residents into thinking it’s the Association’s official site, when in fact the official site is www.RSFAssociation.org. Go to the websites and see for yourself.

Chaired by Debby Jacobs, the sold-out event began with a festive cocktail party, featuring signature spirits and savory treats. Guests then enjoyed a specially-prepared, dinner-by-the-bite menu catered by Chef Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille. After dinner, Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley and Managing Director Michael S. Rosenberg presented an overview and video of the Playhouse’s illustrious production history season over the past 30 years, including 24 productions that transferred to Broadway, earning 35 Tony Awards. Taking the stage as the Gala’s headline entertainment were six award-winning actors, performing songs from favorite Playhouse productions over the past three decades, including Kimiko Glenn, star of the world-premiere Flaming Lips musical Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots; Melissa Hoff, from the Playhouse production of Zhivago; Tony Award nominee Chad Kimball, who originated the role of Huey Calhoun in the Tony-winning musical Memphis; Elizabeth

(Vine is a social media App that let’s you take 5-second videos). I do and she does. A few weeks ago, my daughter shoves her cell phone in my face and asks me to input my credit card information as fast as I can because we only have a few seconds to buy tickets, and I blindly did so. Apparently, we were buying MAGCON tickets and this was a huge coup because

don’t know about you, but I’m not that mom. Let’s talk clothes. The girls were wearing short shorts with their cheeks hanging out, strappy sandals and half shirts with their bellies showing. Nice job moms? The security guard was screaming at us for no reason and I felt like a cow in the herd waiting to be zapped with a cattle prod. We waited for at least an hour. Why weren’t they letting us go in already? I had absolutely no idea what I was in for. Was this a concert? Were these kids going to perform? It took me a good 6 hours to figure it all out, but I finally dialed in. I learned that MAGCON stands for Meet and Greet Conference. We walked into a gigantic ball-

room with a tiny stage. On the stage was Mahogany the DJ who jammed tunes all night while thousands of girls danced their booties off having the time of their life. The first thing I did was walk to the back of the room and sit on the floor (carpeted), by one of the few other moms in the joint, and we became fast friends. The two of us kept waiting to see what was going to happen, and nothing ever did. I finally saw a mom who looked like she knew something so I walked over to her and here is our conversation: Me, “Can you tell me what we are doing here�? Her, “Just go with it. I’m Jack and Jack’s mom.� Me, “You have two sons named Jack�? Her, “No, Jack and Jack have been best friends since they were continued from page A15

We’re from Omaha, Nebraska, and the boys’ videos went viral and now they have 3 million followers and they’re famous.� Me, “What exactly do they do?� And then her entourage called her away. Apparently the “parents� of these Vine kids are just as famous as their sons and the girls want to take pictures with them too. How did this all happen you ask? A brilliant promoter realized that these charismatic teenage boys had millions of young girls following them, and found an ingenious way to cash in on it. If you paid $170 dollars for a VIP ticket your daughter could actually stand in a line for over an hour just to get a shirt signed or snap a picture with these boys. Oh, and every hour and a half, the boys got to take a break... from doing nothing! I was starving because there was no food, just a water cooler. By the end of the night, I was sitting on the floor, eating a bag of peanuts that I bought from the gift shop, questioning my sanity. Mother of the Year award better have my name on it. Wait, there’s more good news. I just found out they’re coming back in November.

Fashion designer gives De Anza DAR a glimpse into classic chic
T
heater and historical fashion designer Jean Showalter delighted the De Anza Daughters of the American Revolution with custom-tailored historical gowns at the organization’s monthly luncheon meeting held April 5 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. Showalter, owner of Jean Showalter Bridal and Historical Couture in Carlsbad, wore a mixed lace Edwardian coat that required six weeks to make as each piece of lace was hand stitched onto netting fabric. Models wore gowns made by Showalter featuring designs from medieval through Edwardian periods. A restored 1907 antique wedding gown that involved reworking of the existing Battentburg lace and 6,000 beads was worn by Showalter at her own wedding in 1988. The Daughters celebrated the 80th anniversary of the founding of the De Anza Chapter which originated in Calpatria, Calif. by 13 ladies and moved to Encinitas in 1965, presently with 113 members. Martha McCarter, a former Fairbanks Ranch resident now living at La Costa Glen, was recognized for 40 years as a DAR member during which she was Regent of the Pasedena chapter. In line with the meeting theme of women and history, Martha Gresham spoke to a curious but practical wedding custom from Saxon times brought to New England by early settlers who abided by English Common Law. As all property, debts and liabilities were transferred to the husband at the time of marriage, the bride came to the wedding with nothing, not even clothing on her back. If modesty demanded, she wore a simple smock, draped a sheet, or surrounded herself with handmaidens. One account described a bride mar-
ried while standing naked in a closet with a hole cut in the door through which she extended only her hand to join her groom’s hand. Astronaut Judith Resnik, who perished in the 1986 Challenger disaster, was honored as she would have celebrated her 65th birthday on the day of the luncheon. De Anza member and aeronautical engineer Beth Jurecki spoke on the remarkable career of Dr. Resnik, the first Jewish woman and second American woman to fly in space with her first mission in 1984. Jurecki was one of the team leads on the Challenger accident investigation for the final report to NASA, relating the task was important as “lives had been lost, lives were at stake, and I didn’t want this to happen again.” De Anza 1st Vice Regent Marti Meiners and Chaplin Joanne Dudek welcomed new inductees Ann Carmel, Mary Castro and Kim Miller, and transfer from a St. Louis chapter, Pam Brown. Ann’s ancestor, Thomas Holden, was a Brigadier General with the Rhode Island Militia. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890. Its members are descended from patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. With more than 165,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations. Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership. De Anza Chapter members live in the North County coastal communities from Carmel Valley to Carlsbad.

North Coast Rep. A two-person drama set in an old house in Berkshire, England, “Mandate Memories” follows Gustav Frolich, an 80-year-old Jewish Holocaust survivor, and Jane Stirling, a 62-year-old English widow. Frolich wants to share something with Stirling, but she isn’t receptive because Jewish terrorists killed the father she never knew during the days of the British Mandate for Palestine. While the play is set in 2009, its title is derived from the era of Middle East history just before the 1948 founding of Israel. Although its characters and story do not come from his own memories, the play somewhat brings Goldstein full circle to his childhood. As a child, he and his family evacuated London several times during World War II. “The play is really about redemption and how people react when they’re confronted with completely different circumstances — when ordinary people are changed by extraordinary events,” Goldstein said. This isn’t the first time Goldstein has worked with the Solana Beach-based theater. North Coast Rep’s Artistic Director David Ellenstein directed Goldstein’s
Actress Rosina Reynolds and playwright Lionel Goldstein. Courtesy photo “Halpern and Johnson” at the local theater, in addition to productions in Maine, Miami and Portland. “Mandate Memories” was also presented as a reading at North Coast Rep a few years ago. “It’s such a delight,” said Goldstein. “It’s extremely pleasant. It’s a very dedicated and competent team.” Although he didn’t want to be a playwright initially, Goldstein has grown to love collaborating with others on stage. What he enjoys most about his career is creating something that gives others an opportunity to also create.
“The thing I enjoy most is it gives people employment,” he said. “Once I did some scenes in a London underground train station, complete with a train and everything. There were loads and loads of people for that day’s filming. That gave me a big kick that I had written something that gave employment to loads and loads of people. That was nice.” “Mandate Memories” runs through May 4 at North Coast Rep, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. “Enjoyment — just the same as with everything else. That’s what I hope the audience takes from this play,” Goldstein said. “That’s why I write.” For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.northcoastrep.org.

By Kristina Houck Lionel Goldstein never wanted to be a playwright. In fact, he spent decades being just about everything but a playwright. From electrician and hairdresser, to antique silver dealer and slot machine repairman, Goldstein held a series of jobs in multiple fields before entering the arts. “I didn’t want to do it at all,” said the 78-year-old British writer, whose “Mandate Memories” made its world premiere April 9 at North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. Goldstein started writing short stories at age 19. He wrote his first novel in his 20s, and three more in his 30s. He reluctantly became a playwright when executives at the BBC asked him to adapt his second novel, “The Executioner,” into a play for television. “I sent them an outline and they wanted me to write a play,” he recalled. “I resisted. I said, ‘I don’t have a play, I don’t want to write a play and I’m not a playwright.’” After a bit of persuasion, he eventually took on the job. The BBC produced the play in 1980. Nearly 35 years later, Goldstein, 78, recently introduced his latest work to

Queenstown offers a not-so-common taste of New Zealand BY KELLEY CARLSON t might not be an Italian restaurant, but the Kiwi-themed Queenstown Public House is very much a part of the Little Italy neighborhood. Set up in a 1902 Craftsman-style building that’s just a short walk from the hub of the district, Queenstown is a funky, casual eatery that has become well known among the locals in the year it has been open. The unusual décor is generally noted by the patrons — upside-down stuffed sheep suspended from the parlor ceiling, a canoe hanging behind the bar, Maori sayings emblazoned on mirrors and assorted knickknacks on display that were unearthed from underneath the house. And they love to hang out on “The Porch” with their dogs on a sunny day. “It’s a great place to unwind,” Chef Reco Yanez said. It’s also a place to try cuisine that’s different from the norm. Much of the fare is New Zealand influenced, from the lamb entrees to the house-made sauces. “We

■ This week’s recipe:
Queenstown’s Hoisin BBQ Sauce strive to offer the best possible food we can,” General Manager Darren Roach said. One of Queenstown’s standouts is the Bare Lil Lamb Burger. The imported meat from New Zealand is topped with mint jelly, shoestring beets, crumbled bleu cheese and a slow-cooked tomato chutney; and it’s all captured between slices of focaccia with rosemary. Those who order
it with a side of seasoned Matchstick Fries (which can be dipped in wasabi aioli and red pepper aioli), along with a pint of beer, often come away from the restaurant feeling more than satisfied. Another true Kiwi entrée is Sheila’s Cracked. According to Roach, it’s exactly what one gets if they order a burger in New Zealand: a beef patty with a fried egg, Edam cheese and shoestring beets on grilled focaccia. Other dishes include the Fish ‘N’ Chips with beer-battered haddock and steak fries; and the Porch Caesar Salad with Romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing made from scratch, anchovy, capers, croutons and Parmesan cheese; which can be served with steak, salmon, ahi, shrimp or chicken. Patrons in the mood for appetizers may consider stopping in during the weekday happy hour, where they can get “slider” versions of sandwiches for $3, and pair them with $8 flights of beer, wine or sangria. The majority of the suds on tap are from Western breweries and nearly a
half-dozen New Zealand brands are offered by the bottle. The wine list is heavy with California vintages, but among the international offerings is a sauvignon blanc from Kiwi country. Whether stopping by midday or at night, guilty pleasures await, including Sheila’s Guilt: cinnamon rolls with roasted apples, vanilla ice cream, candied pecans and caramel. Brunch is available on weekends and the consistent top seller is the Oink with jalapeño cornbread, hoisin BBQ sauce pulled pork, poached egg, jalapeño cayenne hollandaise and garlic kale. Yanez also touts his Prawn & Grits as some of the best in town — it includes yellow organic stone-ground grits with peppers and bacon, topped with poached egg and has a hint of spice. Additional items include the Lamb Hash with meat braised in red wine; and The Cure, a hearty meal of biscuits and gravy, tots, scrambled eggs and a choice of sausage or fried chicken.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
U.S. Bank Home Mortgage makes dream homes a reality in Rancho Santa Fe Expert to speak at RSF When buyers can’t find their dream homes, they turn to John Hicks and Nathan Jones. Specializing in lot and construction financing, the pair have helped build eight custom homes and financed more than $2 billion in loans. “We’ve developed a niche,” said Jones, who works alongside Hicks at U.S. Bank in Rancho Santa Fe. “We understand the language. We understand our clients’ needs.” As mortgage loan originators for U.S. Bank, Jones and Hicks offer a variety of mortgage products and work with clients throughout San Diego County. Because of their experience with lot and construction financing, as well as jumbo home loans, the two have particularly built a client base in Rancho Santa Fe, 4S Ranch, Carmel Valley and surrounding communities. “It can be a very complicated process, especially when you’re doing a construction loan,” said Jones, who has been with U.S. Bank for three years and in the industry for 11 years.

The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) has announced its 2014-2015 season — a 60th anniversary celebration that includes six concerts of premieres and groundbreaking works. “We’ll start with Mahler’s glorious ‘Fifth Symphony,’ and ramp it up from there,” said LJS&C Music Director Steven Schick, whose 60th birthday coincides with that of the ensembles. “The season will include Beethoven’s ‘Ninth,’ performed on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, where upon the ruins, Leonard Bernstein led an international ensemble in a performance in December 1989. In March, we will perform one of the grandest musical statements of them all, Berlioz’s ‘Requiem.’ “Sprinkled among the masterworks you will find the kind of progressive programming that has put us on the map. We have commissioned New York-based composer Nathan Davis to create a work for LJS&C and the percussion group ‘red fish blue fish.’ This year’s Thomas Nee Commission recipient, YeungPing Chen, will write an Internet-based piece that will allow a group of soloists to be channeled into Mandeville Auditorium through telematics technology. “We will also welcome back one of our best friends, the extravagantly gifted cellist Maya Beiser for a performance of Osvaldo Golijov’s ‘Azul.’ ” As with past seasons,

Tickets are $20 for adults, $16 for children 17 and under.

tional Outreach. Desha Crownover directs a cast that includes Beverly Baker as Lucy; Sean Boyd as Linus; Benjamin Cole as Charlie Brown; Leif Corbeil as Schroeder; Tatiana Mac as Sally, and E.Y.

Total Career Makeover winners Gaston Farinas and Lamia Merabet. contests in other cities, as well as those that support The Boardroom San Diego, were invited to vote for who they felt were most deserving of a makeover. The winners will receive personal coaching in how to handle phone and in-person interviews, a copy of Kohut’s book “Absolutely Abby’s 101 Job Search Secrets” and access to five teleseminars. They also got a physical makeover – including hair styling and clothes to wear at job interviews with tips on how to dress – that was unveiled at the La Jolla event. After announcing the winners and showing the “before” photos, Kohut brought them out post-makeover and introduced stylist Melissa Murray. Hoping to help all those in attendance, Murray explained what she did to their looks and why. After the makeover unveiling, Kohut proceeded to offer general advice to everyone in attendance. However, Farinas and Merabet will receive individual attention to address specific behaviors that might be hindering them in their job search. For Merabet, who reported having five multipleround interviews at UC San Diego in the clinical trial science and medical writing fields, the training will focus on a change in confidence. Despite having a master’s degree in Pharmacology, a MBA in Healthcare Administration and experience in clinical research, she has had no luck landing a job in three years. Merabet said she took a parttime job in Orange County, and the three-hour commute that came with it. Even with her credentials, she reports feeling “awkward and obsessed” with her appearance and Algerian accent. Kohut said she hopes to help Merabet “be comfortable in her own skin.” For Farinas, who spent much of his career working in telecommunications management, the focus will be “getting his mojo back,” Kohut said. Last year, Farinas lost his job due to reorganization, and said he needs to learn how to present himself at interviews. After experiencing his job loss, he said in his entrance statement, “I have focused on family, spirituality and community relations, I feel I am a stronger person that can bring even more to a company. My will and determination to succeed and build bridges over barriers has been amplified. It is now my turn to land my dream job.” The Boardroom San Diego meets 8 a.m. Tuesdays with a speaker focused on different job-landing skills at the La Jolla Presbyterian Church, 7715 Draper Ave., La Jolla. More information at TheBoardroomSanDiego.org

By Ashley Mackin Local resident Gaston Farinas is one of two winners in the San Diego Total Career Makeover contest. He was recognized at an April 8 seminar at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. During the contest, launched in January, San Diegans having difficulty gaining employment applied for a makeover that includes new clothes to wear to job interviews and individual training on how to land a job. The second winner is Lamia Merabet of San Diego, who often applied for jobs at UC San Diego. Abby Kohut, a corporate recruiter of almost 20 years, created the contest in 2011 and hosts them in cities across the United States. To find local makeover applicants, she partnered with The Boardroom San Diego, a jobsearch resource, support and networking group for those experiencing a job loss and/or career change. The Boardroom meets Tuesdays at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. “I’ve hired 10,000 people in my career,” Kohut said. “But you know what a recruiter will tell you after you don’t get a job and call to ask ‘why didn’t I get the job?’ Nothing. So for 18 years, I’ve been telling people nothing. I knew why people weren’t getting jobs and I wanted to tell them (why).” So she started the contest in New Jersey with the intent of giving participants tools to improve upon the specific things that were preventing them from getting a job. The first two winners landed a career one month and two months after their makeovers, respectively. She has since held the contest in more than 20 cities. Those from San Diego hoping for a career makeover submitted statements and photos online. Those that have participated in career makeover

Tune-Up Your Irrigation System in Time for Summer We all know the saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;April showers bring May ďŹ&#x201A;owers.â&#x20AC;? However, because we are experiencing a drought, April showers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely this year. Therefore, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our irrigation systems that will be yielding the May bloom and helping to maintain the overall health of our gardens and lawns. Did you know that for every 1,000 square feet of Fescue lawn you have, it takes approximately 35,000 gallons of water a year to keep it healthy? And like most
plants, it requires even more water in the summer months. In other words, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be depending even more on your irrigation system this summer. In order to conserve water, Nature Designs recommends an irrigation tune-up. The following are steps you should take to make sure your irrigation system is working as efďŹ ciently as possible: s 2UN YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM AND CHECK each zone for overspray, misaligned heads, timing, leaks, and run off. s #HECK FOR LEAKING VALVES 7ATER WEEPING from the lowest head on the line can be a symptom of a leaking valve. s #HECK YOUR SOIL FOR GREEN OR BLACK MOSS mushrooms, or dusty appearance. s %LIMINATE WET AND DRY AREAS BY ALWAYS having the same type of irrigation head within each zone (donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix different types of heads) to ensure a more uniform
precipitation rate. s )NSTALL DRIP IRRIGATION IN SMALL PLANTING spaces to direct water ďŹ&#x201A;ow precisely to plant roots. Drip irrigation can also minimize nutrition loss, runoff, soil erosion, damage to your home and weed growth. s #ONSIDER INSTALLING A PRESSURE REGULATOR if you are experiencing water loss due to fogging (water that ďŹ&#x201A;oats away from the intended site). If you notice fogging, the water pressure is too high. Pressure regulators also help mitigate damage done to irrigation systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pipes, heads and valves caused by excessive water pressure. s )F YOUR IRRIGATION CONTROLLER IS MORE THAN 5 years old, consider replacing it with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; controller. There are some smart controllers which can be programmed remotely with a phone application or personal computer. Smart controllers have the capability of automatically modifying
your watering schedule to allow for changes in water needs throughout the year. For example, it will automatically reduce the amount of water your garden receives as the weather gets cooler, when less water is needed. As the weather begins to warm up, it will increase the amount of water. Nature Design offers expert irrigation maintenance service. We can check your irrigation system weekly which includes inspection for proper operation and adjusting the irrigation controller. A zone map is also prepared for each property we maintain, and an irrigation technician is available for larger repairs and emergency calls. To learn how we can help save you water, money, the planet, and your garden by increasing the efďŹ ciency of your irrigation system, log onto http:// naturedesigns.net/ or give us a call at (760) 945-4321.

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation chapter hosts luncheon
T
he Cystic Fibrosis Foundation San Diego and Imperial Counties Chapter held the chapter’s sixth annual “65 Roses” Ladies Luncheon at the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa on April 10. This year’s event merged “the creative forces of art and fashion at an outdoor Chelsea-style gallery showing.” The event was sponsored by Katherine Cosmetics and included an afternoon of shopping, art, fashion and champagne. “65 Roses” is what some children with cystic fibrosis call their disease because the words are much easier for them to pronounce. The phrase was coined in 1965 when Mary G. Weiss, a CFF volunteer made it her mission to help her three young sons who had been diagnosed with the disease. After countless telephone calls, her 4-year-old son, who did not know he had cystic fibrosis said, “I know what you are working for… you are working for 65 Roses.” Since then “65 Roses” has been used by kids of all ages and has become a registered trademark for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. Visit www.cff.org. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview. com. PHOTOS/JON CLARK

Encinitas 101 Mainstreet presents All That Jazz, solo exhibition by local artist Cheryl Ehlers Through May 13, the Encinitas 101 Mainstreet Association presents a solo exhibition, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All That Jazz,â&#x20AC;? by local artist Cheryl Ehlers. The bold and dynamic, musicallythemed art is created in watercolor and acrylic mediums. Sharing a palette of vibrant color, this series has traveled to the Brubeck Institute and been hosted by the Villa Musica in San Diego. Ehlers is an award-winning, published artist that paints in an array of styles. Her choices of impressionistic, contemporary art are eloquently executed and sparked by imagina-
tion reflecting a passion for painting in the moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art, for me is a celebration of life, a way to create an appreciation for the simple joys that surround me,â&#x20AC;? states Ehlers.

Art was the one item that did not have to be left behind, because it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit into a suitcase. She represents that joy in her art. Come meet Ehlers and â&#x20AC;&#x153;All that Jazzâ&#x20AC;? at an artist reception hosted on Thursday, May 1, from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Encinitas 101 Mainstreet Association, located at 818 S.

To learn more about this event, visit www.ywcasandiego.org In addition to the sale of these luxury properties, the Colliers land team also completed a deal to bring the Lusardi Creek Preserve to the community. Upon listing the property, the team sought out the County of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department to purchase the land and keep it as open space rather than become a residential development in a two-year-long process. With county approval, the 31.5 acres now known as the Lusardi Creek Preserve, where the San Dieguito River and Lusardi Creek intersect, has been designated as open space.
