BY JOE TASH Residents across California are looking at the prospect of higher water rates and tighter restrictions on water use as the state grapples with an ongoing drought now in its fourth year. The Santa Fe Irrigation District, which serves residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch, will be required, along with water agencies

around the state, to tighten its water-use policies and strengthen enforcement of violations. On top of the anticipated new restrictions, customers are likely to see higher water rates. “From where we sit right now, there’s no silver lining,” said Santa Fe general manager Michael Bardin. “People in the future will use less water and pay more for it. That’s where the state is headed.”

At its meeting on April 16, the Santa Fe board of directors authorized Bardin and his staff to begin working on a series of measures to comply with state-mandated water cuts, and “drought rates,” which are intended to help maintain the district’s operating revenues in the face of anticipated declines in water sales. The board will discuss specific recommendations put forward by Bardin at a See WATER, page 26

Comments pour in during town hall session on proposed pool and fitness center BY KAREN BILLING As the Rancho Santa Fe Association continues the professional planning phase on a potential pool and fitness center, some residents worry whether the community can spare the water. As Rancho Santa Fe weathers the worst drought in California history, RSF Association Manager Bill Overton said several people have written to the Association and requested them to put an immediate halt to the pool project. At the April 16 pool and fitness town hall meeting, resident Ole Prahm said it is foolish to talk about building a pool that will take 280,000 gallons of water to fill when everyone has been asked to conserve water and he has 2 1/2 acres of lemon trees dying. He referred to how those in Rancho Santa Fe have been “castigated” as water wasters, and said that it’s now up to them to set a good example for the rest of the city. “Put this on the table and bring it up again when we’ve got water,” Prahm said. With the drought, some California cities and water districts are banning filling pools or restricting new pool construction, such as in Montecito. However, Overton See POOL, page 26

RSF lawyer pleads guilty to wire fraud San Dieguito Union High School District board OKs BY KRISTINA DAVIS, SPECIAL TO THE RSF raise for new executive director position in 3-2 vote REVIEW A Rancho Santa Fe attorney known for winning large verdict amounts, arguing high-profile cases and representing sometimes notable clients pleaded guilty April 14 to a scheme that put his clients’ personal injury cases up as collateral without their knowledge, admitting he forged their signatures to persuade investors to advance him millions of dollars, federal prosecutors said. Todd Macaluso gained some notoriety as part of the defense team of Casey Anthony, the young Florida mother acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter in 2011, in a case that drew international attention and marathon cable news coverage. The spotlight briefly focused on San Diego County when Anthony was released from jail and there was wide speculation that she had been spirited away in Macaluso’s private plane, which was based in Carlsbad. He also represented former San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman in a battery case involving reality star Tila Tequila. Macaluso, 52, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Mitchell Dembin April 14. His lawyer declined to discuss the case. Court records allege that Macaluso used fraudulent funding agreements to keep his downtown San Diego-based law practice running, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. Investors would advance Macaluso money and, in return, they would have claim over a portion of winnings in his clients’ personal injury cases. The agreements were done mostly without the knowledge of the clients. To make

the deals possible, Macaluso admitted in his plea agreement that he had forged his clients’ signatures, as well as the notary stamps and signatures of notaries public who purportedly witnessed the legal execution of the documents. He admitted defrauding victims out of more than $70,000 in such agreements from July 2012 to November 2013, his plea agreement states. “Individuals who have suffered a personal injury should not have to worry about being victimized by their own advocate,” U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said in a statement April 14. The FBI investigated the case. This isn’t the first time he’s admitted to misusing client funds. In 2009, the State Bar of California filed disciplinary charges against him concerning about $170,000 that he was supposed to keep in a trust account for clients, but checks drawn on that account later bounced for insufficient funds, bar records show. He also paid about $60,000 out of his client trust account to cover his personal and business expenses, according to bar documents. He did not contest six counts of misconduct, including misappropriating client funds, failing to maintain client funds in trust, issuing client trust account checks against insufficient funds and missing his client account. The bar found that a mental health condition contributed to the misconduct and referred him to the bar’s alternative discipline program. Upon completion, the bar gave him a six-month suspension and put him on three years of probation. A change.org petition was posted about See LAWYER, page 26

On April 2, the San Dieguito Union High School District Board approved a reclassification of the district’s director of planning services to executive director of planning services. The new class description comes with a change in salary schedule, and trustees John Salazar and Mo Muir voted against a $23,000 raise, which would bring the director’s salary to $140,000 a year. Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the new classification reflects the job that the director is actually doing — he said the job is unique and hard to fit. Although neither the board nor the superintendent used the employee’s name during the meeting, the director is John Addleman, who has been in the district since 1999. “For me, what makes this process interesting is that in order for a classified employee to be eligible for reclassification opportunity, they have to work out of their class for two full years,” Schmitt said. Schmitt said for 23 months, Addleman has been working under-class, doing a “phenomenal amount of work” in finance and planning and working with the Prop AA bond. “This individual makes the bond program work,” Schmitt said. “I always looked at his salary and thought, ‘I hope he doesn’t leave.’” Management does not have step-and-column salary increases like other district employees, Schmitt said. Salaries increase as management moves from step one through four, and once they reach the fourth step, their salary does not increase. In voting against the raise, Muir said, “Not just one person is working hard,” and that district staff is always going above and beyond. She advised that the district be very careful in giving money away. — Reported by Karen Billing

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - APRIL 23, 2015 - PAGE A3

RSF resident sounds alarm about problems with 911 cellphone call accuracy BY KAREN BILLING If you’re using a cellphone to call 911, you’d better know your address. As Rancho Santa Fe resident Linda Leong knows all too well from tragic personal experience, the system has not caught up with modern technology, and there are troubling location accuracy issues for first responders. Even more troubling to Leong is that the funding to properly upgrade the system is questionable. “Our 911 system is broken,” said Leong, who testified at the California State Assembly’s Select Committee on Local Emergency Preparedness hearing on April 9 in Sacramento. In November 2007, Leong was at the Rancho Santa Fe Soccer Field when her husband, Richard Scuba, suffered cardiac arrest while playing soccer, and emergency services could not locate them. Her two children, Daniel and David, were 5 and 3 at the time and witnessed their father’s death. “My boys lost their father that day, and the 911 delays might have factored into Richard’s lower chances of survival,” Leong said. “I want them to know that I’m doing my best to help fix the 911 system so unnecessary delays will not take place in a true emergency such as ours.” The 911 system was developed in the 1970s for use with landlines and has not fundamentally changed since then, even though 40 percent of all households nationwide are wireless and more than 70 percent of 911 calls originate from cellphones. At least four members of the eightmember Select Committee on Local Emer-

gency Preparedness have had constituents die because emergency responders could not find them after dialing 911 from a cellphone. The committee chairman, Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez (D-Pomona), speaks for Michelle Myers, a 26-year-old from his district who was shot in her San Bernardino apartment in July 2014. She called 911 to report injuries, but because she couldn’t talk, she could not give her address. It took more than 20 minutes for emergency services to locate her in her apartment complex, and by the time they found her, she had died. Rodriguez, who has a background as an emergency medical technician, said the lack of a reliable system has resulted in too many Californians being denied timely care and is “unacceptable and must be resolved immediately.” Back in 2013, Leong went to share her concerns about the 911 system with Assemblymember Brian Maienschein as soon as he took office, his name plate not even on the door yet. Now he sits on the emergency preparedness committee and introduced Leong before she spoke on April 9. “Our 911 system is aging, and it needs to be closely examined to determine the best way to incorporate the cellphone technology that most of us carry with us all day,” Maienschein said. “It is extremely worrisome that using a cellphone in times of crisis may lead to disastrous delay in emergency resources reaching the scene.” As Leong testified, shortly after Scuba fell to the ground that day, she called 911 on her cellphone and was put on hold for

Linda Leong Photo by Jon Clark one to two minutes. “That’s a long time when you’re dealing with life or death,” she said. When the dispatcher got on the line, she asked for the address, which neither Leong nor the 25 other people on the field knew. She informed the dispatcher she was in the middle of an open soccer field, the only field in Rancho Santa Fe. They were a mile from the fire station, and although Leong gave the street name and cross

streets, the dispatcher said she could not send an ambulance without the address. Leong asked her to triangulate her location from her cellphone, which the dispatcher also could not do. Leong then asked whether she could transfer the call to the North County Dispatch JPA or North Com, the local dispatch next to the fire station on El Fuego — but the dispatcher said she could not make the transfer, either. Leong was frantic. She said her husband was turning purple, and she began to administer life-saving efforts. An ambulance eventually reached Scuba after someone called the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol, whose personnel ran next door to the fire department. It was nearly 20 minutes after Leong placed the first 911 call before an ambulance finally arrived. Leong said she often wonders what would have changed if her call had been routed directly to the North Com PSAP (primary service answering point) instead of to the California Highway Patrol. Five years later in 2012, Leong would experience another situation with 911’s location problems when she was hit by a car while riding her bike. She was in front of R. Roger Rowe School, at Avenida de Acacias and La Granada, when she was struck by a car, smashed into the driver’s windshield and knocked back 20 feet into the street. Two good Samaritans stopped to assist her, and one called 911 from his cell. He was placed on hold. After a second call was put on hold, he got in his car and drove the two blocks to the fire station, knocked on the door and asked them to send an ambulance. “On both occasions, the 911 system failed me. If this could happen to me not once, but twice, it could happen to anyone,” Leong said. At the hearing, Assemblymember Das Williams (D-Carpinteria) said the committee benefits from the knowledge that these delays happened to Leong twice — even though, as he said, she is “cursed with it.” See 911, page 25

Holocaust-inspired â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Defiant Requiemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brings its hopeful message to San Diego BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize it at the time, Murry Sidlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path changed when he picked up a book at a Minneapolis bookstore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music at TerezĂnâ&#x20AC;? told the story of Rafael SchĂ¤chter, a prisoner at the TerezĂn concentration camp in what is now the Czech Republic. Though imprisoned, SchĂ¤chter taught about 150 of his fellow prisoners to sing Giuseppe Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Requiemâ&#x20AC;? and led them in several performances at the camp. The story is the inspiration behind Sidlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defiant Requiem: Verdi at TerezĂn,â&#x20AC;? a multimedia concert-drama that makes its San Diego debut May 7 at the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Center. From Israel to Germany, the piece has been performed around the world, including in TerezĂn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that this was a very, very significant Holocaust story,â&#x20AC;? said Sidlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to bring it to light.â&#x20AC;? In the two decades since Sidlin picked up the book, he has conducted nearly three dozen performances of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defiant Requiem,â&#x20AC;? which blends Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music with video testimo-

nies from surviving members of the original TerezĂn chorus, actors embedded in the orchestra, and original Nazi propaganda film footage made at the camp. The concert-drama has been featured at the Kennedy Center in D.C., Lincoln Center in New York City and Symphony Hall in Atlanta. It has also been performed in Jerusalem, Budapest, Prague, TerezĂn and most recently in Berlin. Thanks to the local chapter of the Anti-Defamation League, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defiant Requiemâ&#x20AC;? is coming to San Diego. Conducted by Sidlin, the concert-drama will feature the San Diego Symphony Orchestra and Master Chorale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concert-drama has been done at some of the finest institutions,â&#x20AC;? said event chair Caryn Viterbi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very excited, and the ADL is very proud to be able to bring a performance of this quality in nature to a large San Diego audience.â&#x20AC;? For months, Viterbi planned the event with her late mother-in-law, Erna Viterbi. The longtime Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist, who survived the Nazi invasion of the former Yugosla-

Murry Sidlin will conduct â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defiant Requiem: Verdi at TerezĂnâ&#x20AC;? on May 7 at Copley Symphony Hall. Photo by Josef Rabara via, died Feb. 17 at the age of 81. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother-in-law was an incredible woman of great compassion,â&#x20AC;? said Viterbi, a former Del Mar resident who now lives on the border of Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For her, this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a Holocaust story. It was a lesson for all humanity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so we would remember and learn that hatred and bigotry should never be our guide, and that silence is never an option in the face of suffering.â&#x20AC;? Like her late mother-in-law, Viterbi is also very involved in the community. She serves as a board member of the San Diego chapter of the Anti-Defamation League and sits on the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive committee. Founded in 1913, the Anti-Defamation League is an international organization that aims to fight anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defend democratic ideals and protect civil rights for all. The San Diego regional office has

served San Diego and Imperial counties since 1978. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the story of TerezĂn,â&#x20AC;? Sidlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The responsibility of getting people interested in this story and getting them enthusiastic made me go further with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These incredible prisoners of TerezĂn would not take this lying down. They insisted on performing, on lecturing, on teaching â&#x20AC;&#x201D; continuing human development and responding to the worst of mankind with the best of mankind.â&#x20AC;? About 2,200 people are expected to attend â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defiant Requiemâ&#x20AC;? May 7 at the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Copley Symphony Hall, 750 B St. in San Diego. The event starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $30-$175. All ticket sales, sponsorships and funds raised for the event will benefit ADL San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Endowment Fund, Lessons from the Holocaust: Changing Hearts and Minds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope people will come for a very meaningful and inspiring performance, knowing that the proceeds will ensure that future generations will be educated to understand the dangers of hate and prejudice,â&#x20AC;? Viterbi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to hear the voices of our past and reflect on lessons for our future.â&#x20AC;?

Rainbow Week at Torrey Pines High focuses on LGBT acceptance ºBY KAREN BILLING At lunchtime on Friday, April 17, a large group of students at Torrey Pines High School were uncharacteristically quiet. As part of the school’s Rainbow Week, planned by the Gay-Straight Alliance, students were participating in the national Day of Silence, vowing to remain silent for all or part of the day to raise awareness about anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) behavior. Staying quiet illustrated the silencing effect of bullying and harassment on LGBT students. Milena Chakraverti-Wuerthwein, a member of the GSA who spoke the day before, said students could opt to participate just at lunchtime, but others like herself planned to stay silent all day. “It’s to show solidarity, to show people who are bullied that they do have a voice and they do matter, and that we won’t tolerate any kind of bullying on cam-

pus,” said Milena. “In the past, GSA hasn’t had much of a presence on campus,” said Amal GebaraLamb, club president. “It was important to have a week to show that people who are questioning their identity feel like they have someone they can talk to.” Principal David Jaffe honored the leadership of the GSA, including Amal, Milena, Emily Zhi and Haley Browning, for taking the initiative to plan the week of awareness and activity for the students. “This is an example of the power you all have,” Jaffe told students in an April 16 assembly. “It wasn’t on my radar to have a Rainbow Week, but it is such an important issue — it’s really about acceptance for us all.” One of the Rainbow Week speakers, Matt Stephens, talked about two transgender teenagers who committed suicide in the past month as a result of being bullied.

“The message is that you have the power to save lives simply by being kind and listening and accepting someone for who they are,” Jaffe said. “On this campus, what I’ve seen is generally supportive — but I’ve also seen some elements of homophobia and racism, and that doesn’t stop until you make it stop.” He encouraged students not to participate in that kind of bullying behavior, both at school and on social media. As part of Rainbow Week, the GSA invited a panel of guest speakers including Stephens, a UC San Diego lecturer on sexuality, gender and law; Susan Guinn, a lawyer and community leader who has championed LGBT rights around the world; and Dr. Amy Parish, a biological anthropologist and primatologist who has taught at University of Southern California in the gender studies and anthropology departments. Parish spoke about diversity in sex and sexuality in the animal kingdom, such as the same-sex pairings observed in dolphins, penguins, bonobos and seagulls. Parish said there is all kinds of fluidity in the animal kingdom, such as with Goby fish, who arrange themselves in a social situation of one male in a harem of females. When the male dies, the most dominant female changes into a male. When asked by Principal Jaffe whether any of the animal species harasses its members because of their sexual preferences, Parish said there were none she could think of. “It’s a good reason for us to aspire to be like other animals,” she said. Guinn recalled her youth growing up as a lesbian is a small Colorado town. She said they would have to run to their cars from the gay clubs, because people would be waiting in the parking lots to hurt them. She said while the situation has certainly improved,

Guinn helped start the St. Paul’s Foundation for International Reconciliation, which is focused on human rights, health and faith, and helps provide resources for grass-roots organizations to advocate for inclusiveness for marginalized groups of people around the world. One of St. Paul’s efforts was in Uganda, where they had a “Kill the Gays” law. In Uganda, if a person knew someone was gay and didn’t turn them in, they got five years in prison. If a gay person was caught, they got 14 years in prison, and “repeat offenders” faced a lifetime in prison — or execution. To help repeal the discriminatory law, the organization worked with churches, the United Nations and the World Bank, which postponed aid to the country unless the law was removed. The law was ruled invalid in 2014. “In the U.S., we don’t kill people for being gay, right?” asked Guinn, and the answer wasn’t as clear-cut as one would assume. Guinn referenced the ballot initiative started by a Huntington Beach lawyer this year calling for gay people to be killed by a “bullet to the head” or “any other convenient method.” The lawyer would need to collect 365,000 signatures in 180 days to put it on the November 2016 ballot. Guinn said she was saddened that he felt the climate was appropriate to bring the initiative forward. Recently, Indiana was in the news for a “religious freedom” law that would allow businesses to deny services to gay people. Guinn said all states that have marriage equality have a religious exemption, meaning a church can’t be forced to marry gay people; but the difference with the Indiana law was that it broadly allowed businesses to decide who they did and did not want to serve.

“That kind of stuff is still here in the United States, so we still need to be talking about LGBT issues, racial equality and all of the issues of our time,” Guinn said. “Your generation will decide what’s OK moving forward … the people who decide what kind of world you would like to live in are you guys. Make it better day to day, decide whether you want to be a person of action, who will stand up for personal values and will stand up to protect others.” She spoke about a Panama City, Fla., gang rape that happened on a beach full of people over spring break, captured by video that went viral. Hundreds of people saw what was happening to the young woman in broad daylight — and nobody did anything to stop it. Guinn said that is an example of the troubling “mob mentality,” in which everyone assumes somebody else will do something — but no one does. She encouraged the students to be individually responsible and stand up for those who are bullied — because by being silent, they become part of the problem. Accepting those who are different and making Torrey Pines a safe place for people of all genders and sexualities was what Rainbow Week was all about. “You have a wonderful opportunity at Torrey Pines to work on your skills as leaders and to find your voice,” Guinn said. “Whatever your voice is, find it and start using it here in high school.”

RSF author examines how environment influences our success in life, business BY KRISTINA HOUCK As the author or editor of nearly three dozen books on business, Marshall Goldsmith knows what he’s talking about. After all, the Rancho Santa Fe resident has worked closely with some of the world’s top men and women in business, including executives at such large companies as Ford, Pfizer and Walmart. In his latest book, “Triggers: Marshall Creating Behavior That Lasts — Becoming the Person You Want to Goldsmith Be,” Goldsmith examines the environmental and psychological triggers that can derail people at work and in life. “As we journey through life, we create the world around us, and at the same time, the world around us is creating us,” said Goldsmith who has lived in Fairbanks Ranch for 25 years. “‘Triggers’ talks about our relationship with the environment and how we often unknowingly are influenced by the environment in ways that we don’t understand.” Available May 19, “Triggers” includes stories from Goldsmith’s work with some of the

Beach and Country Guild’s ‘Regale in the Ranch’ benefit to be held May 8 The third annual “Regale in the Ranch,” hosted by the Beach and Country Guild, takes place from 6-10 p.m. May 8 at a private Rancho Santa Fe estate to benefit United Cerebral Palsy of San Diego. The Casino Regale opens at 7 p.m. with blackjack, craps and roulette, as well as fine food and drink. Tickets are $100; to purchase tickets, visit www.beachandcountry.org.

most successful chief executives and power brokers in the business world. It also outlines how readers can overcome the trigger points in their lives and enact meaningful and lasting change. “It’s about creating behavior that lasts and becoming the person you want to be,” he explained. Originally from Kentucky, Goldsmith didn’t become an author until later in life. He was in his late 40s when he published his first book, “The Drucker Foundation: The Leader of the Future.” At the time, he was a board member of the Peter Drucker Foundation. Today, Goldsmith is the author or editor of 35 books, which have sold more than 2 million copies, been translated into 30 languages and become best-sellers in 12 countries. His books are inspired by his work as an executive coach. Goldsmith, who has a Ph.D. from UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, teaches executive education at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. He has worked with more than 150 major CEOs and their management teams. As an executive coach, Goldsmith said he first thought that coaching and the client were the key variables for success. He later realized that the environment also played a mayor role, prompting the subject of his latest book. “I talk about how to understand the various solutions that we have in life, and I talk about how to read the environment and how to become sensitive to the environmental influences that are impacting us as we go through life everyday,” Goldsmith said. “My goal is to help my readers become closer to the person that they want to be.” “Triggers” will be available on Amazon and in bookstores beginning May 19. An audio book voiced by Goldsmith will also be available. For more about Goldsmith, visit www.marshallgoldsmithlibrary.com.

RSF Historical Society to honor longtime volunteer May 2 with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rea Mowery Gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society will honor Rea Mowery for his contributions to the community and the historical society at a reception commemorating the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rea Mowery Gardenâ&#x20AC;? at 10:30 a.m. May 2 at La Flecha House. One of the historical societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest volunteers, Mowery was instrumental in obtaining the historically significant La Flecha House for the society in 1988. Located at 6036 La Flecha in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe, the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first residents were Sydney R. Nelson, the Santa Fe Land Improvement Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager, and his wife, Ruth, and son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will forever be indebted to the contribution Rea Mowery made to the historical society and to the community,â&#x20AC;? said John Vreeburg, president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rea was involved in creating and nurturing so many of the organizations in the ranch. lt is to thank him for his foresight and spirit that we will be honoring him.â&#x20AC;? La Flecha House was designed by Lilian Rice and built by the Santa Fe Railroad in 1923 to house the Nelsons as the railroadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Santa Fe Land Improvement Company started to develop what is now the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant. ln 1960, E. I. (Bud) and Marguerite Reitz bought the property, which Bud used as an office for his lumber business. When they later decided to dispose of some assets, the couple initially offered the building to Mowery, who instead suggested they donate it to the historical society in 1984. ln 1989, the Covenant received California historical landmark status for the community as a whole, and La Flecha House was recognized as Landmark No. 1. Mowery, who died at the age of 91 last year at his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Whittier, came to the ranch in 1968 as a cartographer for the Rancho Santa Fe Association after retiring as a U. S. Marine Corp. chief warrant officer and

Marine gunner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of interesting to come from Da Nang (Vietnam) and four days later start working in Rancho Santa Fe,â&#x20AC;? he once said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best tour of duty I ever had. I came here and never |eft.â&#x20AC;? Because of a lapse in record-keeping during the lean years of the Depression and World War II, the association found itself with some 500 homes with no street addresses. Mowery was given the job of updating and coordinating the Covenant and San Diego County records. Another part of his job was to codify the Covenant and explain the rules to homeowners. He later became building commissioner, manager of the association, and then a founding officer of the Rancho Santa Fe National Bank, serving for 21 years as vice president and director of community relations. When the bank held its grand opening celebration, he persuaded the board members to donate the funds they would have spent on the party to the newly formed Rancho Santa Fe Foundation instead. Mowery also was a 35-year member of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club, where he served as president and on the board of directors. ln addition, he served on the boards of the Rancho Santa Fe Library and Garden Club. When active in the Rancho Community Center, Mowery helped to start the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center. He even was behind the beautifully landscaped median strips on Paseo Delicias in the Village. Moweryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteer efforts also included Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, Boy Scouts of America, and the American Red Cross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important is being able to help somewhere,â&#x20AC;? he once said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to live, and live happy, participate. Participation is the key to the whole thing.â&#x20AC;? For reservations to attend the tribute, please call Administrator Sharon Alix at 858756-9291.

Step by step: Hiking gives local woman strength to battle cancer BY JOE TASH For Patti McCarthy, hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from Mexico to Canada, was the ideal way to keep her sanity and perspective during a recent battle with breast cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something that gave me peace of mind. I felt like I was defeating cancer when I was out there,â&#x20AC;? said McCarthy, 53, a nurse and longtime local resident. Hiking might not be for everyone, she concedes, but those fighting the disease can improve their quality of life by doing things they care about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Find a passion so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just focusing on cancer all the time,â&#x20AC;? she said. McCarthy put down her thoughts and observations in a self-published book, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hiking Cancer,â&#x20AC;? which she co-wrote with her husband and hiking partner, Lynn Shapiro, 54. The book came out in October, and was drawn from blog and journal entries written by the couple, as well as essays by McCarthy on such topics as losing her hair and capacity to taste food during chemotherapy and radiation treat-

Lynn Shapiro, left, and Patti McCarthy on the Pacific Crest Trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like I was defeating cancer when I was out there,â&#x20AC;? said McCarthy, who now has trekked 750 miles on the trail since cancer treatment ended in 2013. ments, and also information about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. McCarthy received her diagnosis during a phone call from her doctor in October 2012. She recalled that he never used the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;cancer,â&#x20AC;? but instead told her she had a carcinoma, a term she was familiar with from her job.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I heard anything he said after that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really threw me for a loop.â&#x20AC;? The couple had already hiked some sections of the Pacific Crest Trail at the time of her diagnosis, and McCarthy was determined to continue their quest to eventually trek over every portion of the 2,650-mile trail, even during her cancer treatment. That decision caused friends, family and even Shapiro to worry. Although Shapiro was concerned about the hikes during McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illness, he said he knew how important it was to his wife, and, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt confident whatever trouble we got into, I could get us out of it.â&#x20AC;? During treatment, the couple hiked a total of 256 miles on the trail, and since McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment ended in 2013 and she was declared in remission from cancer, they have brought their total to 750 miles. In hindsight, Shapiro said, the decision to keep hiking during treatment was the right one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The strength Patti got from the hikes â&#x20AC;Ś proved to be an important part of her recovery,â&#x20AC;? he said. Maintaining a sense of humor was also important. Thanks to her radiation treatments and diagnostic X-rays, McCarthy earned the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glow in the Darkâ&#x20AC;? among the Pacific Crest Trail hiking community. One hiker and blogger they met even organized a nighttime hike in McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor in which about 20 participants carried glow sticks along the trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That simple act did a lot for me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It put me on Cloud 9.â&#x20AC;? One lesson she learned, said McCarthy, is that cancer patients donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to stay up-

beat and positive all the time, as many people urge them to do. Instead, she said, there were days when she needed to cry or indulge in an angry rant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, the only thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m positive about is that cancer sucks,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, I learned that support comes in the most unusual places, where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect it, so you need to be open to that.â&#x20AC;? Among the support she did count on was that of her husband, and the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three children, who are all in their 20s. The couple said that people who have read the book have said it resembles a love story because of how the experience brought them together. When he was a child, Shapiro said, his mother had breast cancer, and he tried to model his own behavior after that of his father, who was very supportive during his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was always there for my mom,â&#x20AC;? Shapiro said. So when his wife became ill, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stayed with her. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy away from the process.â&#x20AC;? McCarthy is back to working as a nurse part-time, visiting patients in their homes to help them stay healthy and out of the hospital. The couple are planning their next Pacific Crest Trail hike for August or September. As for her ordeal with cancer, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what got me through is my stubbornness.

10th Annual Circle of Life Distinguished Achievement Award Celebration

Honorees: Mary Miller, Joanne Marks, Franci Free, Catherine Nicholas

Almost 200 guests attended the 10th Annual Circle of Life Distinguished Achievement Award Celebration on April 15 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The event recognized Franci Free, Joanne Marks, Mary Miller and Catherine Nicholas for their remarkable leadership and commitment that inspired the community and raised over $2 million for Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas at its gala last April. The event featured a sneak preview of the new Healing Arts Collection at Scripps Encinitas. Guests enjoyed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art, Food and Wineâ&#x20AC;? pairings and mingled with some of the artists whose original pieces are being offered for sponsorship to be included in a new permanent collection in the hospital to promote the healing of patients and the wellbeing of their families and caregivers.

Honoree Sue Swenson

Jen Nation, Patti Roscoe

Sue Salka and Susan Swenson of Rancho Santa Fe were honored as Girl Scouts San Diego’s Cool Women 2015 during a luncheon and ceremony at the Del Mar Country Club on April 14. Girl Scouts San Diego board members Julie Dubick and Lori Walton chaired the 15th annual event. Luncheon proceeds will help support Girl Scout program outreach for girls in homeless shelters, the Girls Rehabilitation Facility and schools in underserved neighborhoods. Each award recipient was introduced by a Cool Woman from a prior year. Salka was presented by community volunteer Elizabeth Copley, a Cool Woman of 2010. Salka is president and CEO of AMN Healthcare. Under her leadership, AMN has become the nation’s largest, most diversified healthcare staffing company. Last year, Forbes ranked AMN in the top 100 most trustworthy publicly traded companies. Salka serves on SDSU’s Campanile Foundation board and as a guest commentator for CNBC’s “Mad Money.” Named Director of the Year for Corporate Citizenship by the Corporate Forum last year— and Woman of the Year by San Diego Magazine — the former Girl Scout is a role model for future female executives. During the event, Salka made a generous, $10,000 personal donation. Guests met her challenge to collectively match that amount. Swenson’s presenter was Cool Woman 2013 Arlene Harris, a wireless industry pioneer. Swenson — described by industry leaders as one of the most powerful people in wireless — has shaped the telecom world for nearly four decades. Her background includes stints as CEO and/or president for Sage Group, T-Mobile USA, Leap Wireless International, Cricket Communications, Cellular One and PacTel Cellular. The Girl Scout alumna was recently appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce as chair of FirstNet, a federal agency developing the first nationwide high-speed wireless broadband network. A vital national priority, the multibillion-dollar system will allow emergency responders from local, state and federal jurisdictions to orchestrate responses to disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes and terrorist threats. This year’s Cool Girl was Girl Scout Ambassador Elena Crespo. The Del Norte High School Junior recently developed a computer lab for a school in Panama. Elena, who served as a delegate to Girl Scouts’ national convention, is completing her Girl Scout Gold Award project. Cool Women 2015 honorees also included Karen Archipley, co-founder See WOMEN, page 23 Photos by Jon Clark

Frederick William Steese 1951 – 2015 Frederick Steese, a noted North County CPA and a former president of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club, died April 15, 2015. The cause of death was an apparent heart attack, he was 63. He was born in Burbank on October 17, 1951, graduated from Granada Hills High School and earned his undergraduate degree at San Diego State University and was a Certiﬁed Public Accountant

in California. Fred was outstanding in golf and baseball in high school. A local newspaper in the San Fernando Valley dubbed him “Slugger Steese” for his boxing skills. Steese joined Leaf and Cole, a public accounting firm in San Diego, shortly after graduating from SDSU. He later joined with Dick Wehmeyer to form Wehmeyer & Steese, a public accounting firm in Rancho Santa Fe. Following Wehmeyer’s retirement, Steese later opened his own firm, Frederick Wm. Steese, in Encinitas in 2002. “To know Fred was to love him. He was fun, engaged and a marvelous raconteur. He could cite sports statistics and dates faster than anyone I’ve ever known, “ said Bob Page, a former owner of the Rancho Santa Fe Review, and a longtime personal friend. He was an Aztec for Life whose love for San Diego State was contagious. If you asked him to name the starting lineup for any

Aztec basketball team, no matter how many years ago, he could. He always said statistics came easily for him, “after all, I spend my life in numbers!” The irony of his death on America’s tax day seems hard to fathom. True to his dedication to his clients, he resisted his friends and wife Vicki’s insistence that he check himself into a hospital as he was struggling with chest pains. Unfortunately, he put work before his health. “Fred was the ultimate Aztec. He loved his alma mater,” said Steve Thomas, a Rancho Santa Fe resident who shared season tickets with him. Mike Phillips, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and longtime client of Fred’s, said Fred was “a consummate professional, wonderful friend, and perennially frustrated Aztec, Charger and Padre fan.” He took great pride in Vicki, his life partner for 30 years. When she returned to school to earn her Masters

degree in marriage and family therapy, he was so proud of her. And when he needed assistance in the ofﬁce, Vicki was always there for him. In addition to Vicki, he is survived by his sister, Jackie (William) Dahlgren of Saline, Michigan; nephews, Michael Dahlgren and his daughter, Scarlet, of Saline, and Eric (Erica) Dahlgren, and their son, Jonathan, of Chicago; and cousins, Rick Farrell, Tom (Diane) Farrell, Carol Farrell, Gloria (George) Windrum and Diane (Art) Barry. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Mary Jane Steese. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe on Saturday, April 25, 2015, at 4 p.m. Donations in Fred’s name may be made to the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

for the Covenant community

Please support a Health Club for our Covenant community! The Covenant is a special place. We all love the privacy, the nature, the homes and the history. But with the acres comes disconnection. The Health Club will foster a sense of community, which many of us are missing. A number of our neighbors have tennis courts, golf areas and/or horses in their backyards. They still enjoy coming together at the Tennis Club, Golf Club or Riding Club with other neighbors. Some of us have swimming pools in our backyards or exercise equipment at home. Like our tennis, golf and equestrian neighbors, we would like to gather with neighbors and enjoy what we love to do. It’s much more fun together. There’s something magical about coming together at a Club with your neighbors: a chance to build community, a chance to meet each other or get to know each other better. For old friends or new friends — a Club is a special place to enjoy playing tennis, golf, riding horses, swimming and exercising together. In truth, unlike a golf club, a tennis club or even an equestrian club, where the very young and the very old may not be able to fully participate, swimming is an activity we all can enjoy, at any age. A Health Club with a community swimming pool, an exercise facility and a casual dining area will bring us all together, as no other community enhancement currently does. When I spoke at one of the Health Club Town Hall Meetings last week, a small contingent of our neighbors made it difficult for many to hear me. It was a stark example of our disconnection from each other as neighbors. We can all be great friends, and we can love our neighbors as ourselves. We simply need a place to get to know each other: a place where people of all ages are welcome and comfortable in a casual setting. We will build this sense of community together when we build a Health Club for the Covenant! It is critical we all have a voice in these important matters. Please confirm you are registered to vote by calling the Rancho Santa Fe Association at 858-756-1174, or please visit www.rsfregister.com to register now. In gratitude and kindness as your neighbor, Meredith Garner

Rant with Randi: Bad manners at Mass BY RANDI CRAWFORD It all started Easter morning. This year was a bit strange. For the first time in my “mom” life, our daughter was out of town, and not with us, which was just plain weird. Plus, our kids are teens and don’t want to sit on the Easter Bunny’s lap any more (boo). So there was no Easter egg hunt or family brunch. But one thing that has remained constant on Easter, is that our family goes to Mass. And it’s always very special, springy, and happy. So I couldn’t wait to attend Mass this morning, in keeping with one Easter family tradition. It was a beautiful morning and the three of us headed to church. Usually, it’s impossible to find parking because it’s such a popular day to attend Mass, so we have to walk a few blocks, but not today. We scored a key parking spot right up front, which felt like a sign that today was already shaping up to be good. I especially love watching all the little girls in their Easter dresses and their moms walking into church. And the little boys are adorable walking in with their hair gel and blue blazers matching their dads and acting grown up. It’s so festive and Spring-y. Easter Mass always puts me in a good mood. But today, as soon as I walked into the church, I experienced something that immediately put me into a bad mood. When we walked in, the last pew was virtually empty. So you can imagine my surprise when I went to sit down, and a man pointed to an orange scarf (I’m so mad that I didn’t bring my cellphone so I could have taken a picture), and he very abruptly told me that he was saving the entire pew. I thought to myself, that’s pretty rude behavior, but I decided to let it go. Once we took our seats by friends, it became clear to me that someone was saving the entire pew directly in front of us. Oh no, not again. I was horrified. Shortly after we sat down, a high school-age special needs boy walked over and tried to take a seat. But a woman in the row in front of him looked him in the eye and told him that he couldn’t sit there because it was saved for her whole family. How dare she? I watched as about four more “groups” of people walked over to sit down

and were turned away. Sure, send the specialneeds kid and the elders to stand in the back? The irony of this situation is that the actual people they were saving the seats for, showed up late and barely even took up half the pew. I’m sorry, but this is so rude and wrong and shouldn’t be allowed. It’s Easter Sunday Mass. Here’s what I’d like to know from the people saving entire pews: Why are you even there? What prompted you to get up, put on your nice spring clothes, and go to church, if you are going to behave like that? I truly don’t want to be judgmental, but isn’t the whole idea of Easter Sunday and the overall message of the Catholic Church to treat others as you would have them treat you? The people saving seats don’t seem to be following this Golden Rule. Why, on the “holiest” day of the year in the Catholic Church, are people behaving in such an elitist and rude fashion? I don’t think if Jesus showed up at church that morning, he would be happy with this behavior. When and where along the line have people learned that their needs are greater and more important than society as a whole? What is making everyone so self-important today? John Kennedy once said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Today, that quote might sound like this: “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what else your country should be doing for you.” The behavior that I witnessed at Easter Mass is turning into our everyday way of life. I think it’s very sad to watch the evolution of community to self. What say you? Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.

911

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - APRIL 23, 2015 - PAGE A25

continued from page 3

“It is particularly alarming to me that even after that tragedy, there is no mechanism to ensure (that a call sent to) that tower so far from the freeway is not being routed to local PSAP,” Williams said. Williams said he had “empathy and alarm” that this is happening to people in his district and to people all over the state. “It is the state’s responsibility to bring the 911 system into the 21st century and provide reliable, accurate location information,” he said. “We have responsibility to the constituents of California to preserve life and public safety, and we are not doing enough to do that.” When a 911 call is placed from a cellphone, the signal goes to the closest cell tower to process the call. The tower determines to which PSAP dispatch center the call is redirected. If the tower sends the call to CHP, but the person hasn’t been in a freeway accident, CHP has to redirect to a local dispatch, which can take seconds or minutes — or not happen at all. “People die if 911 calls are not accurately located,” Williams said. “It’s happened in my district and others too many times.” In the late 1980s, Leong worked for San Diego County Emergency Services as an analyst tabulating all statistical results for 911 calls in San Diego. The crucial information that was not collected then or now, she said, includes: when the call is made to the PSAP to determine where to route the call, how many calls are put on hold, how long that hold time is, and whether the call is transferred or not. “When you call, there’s a 50-50 chance that the tower-routed call is to the correct PSAP,” Leong said. “Why can Uber find you quicker than an ambulance can?” The car service Uber uses a device’s Internet protocol (IP) address to locate riders who call it.

Leong’s big concern is that not only has the 911 “legacy system” based on landline calls not evolved with the times, but neither has the funding model, based on an “antiquated code” for assessing fees on interstate calls. She was encouraged that Assembly Bill 911 resulted in the 911 fund assessment of prepaid phones in 2012. But in the meantime, wireless carriers have sold “family” packages that can combine four lines into one, so there is one bill versus four bills paying into the 911 system. Leong said that must change. The state’s Next Generation 911 plan, which will provide for better cellphone accuracy using IP addresses rather than cell towers, as well as allow uses such as 911 texting, will cost $300 million to $500 million to make necessary upgrades. Leong said the missing piece is the mechanism to pay for it. In 2011-12, the total resources for the state’s emergency telephone number account were $153 million, and in 2013-14, that number dipped to $118 million. The reserve for economic uncertainty was at $54 million in 2012 and in 2013-14, it was $2 million. By 2016-17, the fund will be running a deficit. “The more I look into it, the more I realize how precarious our 911 system is today,” Leong said. She is not alone, as the Assembly committee continues to address the 911 deficiencies that put every Californian using a cellphone in an emergency at risk. On April 8, the day before the hearing, the Assembly Committee on Governmental Organization passed Assembly Bill 510, co-authored by Rodriguez and Williams, which seeks to eliminate these unnecessary delays in 911 calls. “It is a sad commentary on our ability to summon emergency aid when Uber can find you faster than 911,” said Rodriguez in a statement after the hearing. “It’s unacceptable.”

special workshop session at 6 p.m. May 7, and the panel could vote on the measures at its regular meeting on May 21. On April 1, Gov. Jerry Brown issued an executive order, calling for a statewide 25 percent cut in water use. This past Saturday, the State Water Resources Control Board issued draft emergency regulations intended to carry out the governor’s mandate. Under the proposal, the state’s 411 water agencies would be required to cut their water use by varying amounts, from 8 percent to 36 percent, depending on their per capita water usage. The Santa Fe district would be required to cut its water use by 36 percent because it is at the higher end of per capita use in the state. State regulators will make a final decision on the required cuts in May. In the meantime, the Santa Fe district will work on its own drought response plan, which will probably include new water-use restrictions, higher fines for violations, more staff time dedicated to enforcement, and higher water rates. While Bardin said Santa Fe customers will have to cut water use, particularly for outdoor watering, he said the severe cuts proposed by the state water board do not take into account the 20 percent reduction in water use already achieved by the district’s residents since 2007. The problem, he said, is that the cuts will be required from a baseline of the average use in 2013, after Santa Fe customers had already made big strides in conservation. A better method, he said, would be to base the cuts on a 10-year average of water use. “Basing it on 2013 does not take into account the effort and good work our district and all of San Diego County has done … that 20 percent doesn’t count now. We’re saying that needs to be taken into account,” Bardin said. Although district customers have cut back on water use over the past eight years, since mandatory water-use restrictions were re-introduced in 2014, the district has not seen increased conservation. “We’re not seeing the response from the community to take that next step of really sacrificing,” said Bardin. “What we need folks to do is to stop watering their lawns.”

Fe, which has 70 villas, 281 semi-custom homes and 70 custom home sites, according to its website. Crosby General Manager Ed Sanabria deferred questions to the corporate office of Escalante Golf, whose spokesman was not immediately available. The lawyer for the club did not immediately return a

Residents are allowed to water their landscaping three days a week, for a maximum of 10 minutes at a time, unless they have water-efficient devices such as drip irrigation systems. The district may tighten its restrictions to fewer watering days per week, Bardin said, and also increase fines for violations. The district also will reassign staff and hire temporary workers and interns “to get more boots on the ground out there carrying the message” of conservation, and to enforce the tighter rules, Bardin said. On the revenue side, the district will consider imposing higher “drought rates,” designed to maintain revenue in the face of reduced sales. The district’s finance staff has estimated that Santa Fe revenue could drop by as much as $4.5 million. Because many of the district’s costs are fixed, the district may need to raise rates to compensate to maintain its operations, Bardin said. The district would have to hold a public hearing before the drought rates could be imposed. At Thursday’s meeting, one Rancho Santa Fe resident challenged the idea that customers need to stop watering their landscaping. Instead, said Vahe Guzel, smart meters and smart water controllers can help people conserve and avoid water waste by catching leaks quickly. “I think you’re approaching it the wrong way. You’re trying to get people to let their citrus die and their turf die, when all you have to do is conserve water, and it’s easy to do,” Guzel said. Bardin said the district is earmarking $500,000 in next year’s proposed budget on a pilot project to install smart meters at some locations, which will provide customers and the district with additional data on water use, which can in turn be used to increase conservation. But technology such as smart meters is only one tool of many needed to deal with the state’s water shortage, which Bardin said is the worst he’s seen during his 35-year career. “We’re facing the challenge of a generation when it comes to water in California,” Bardin said. “The state is plowing new ground. At the end of the day, we’ve got a problem with water in the state, and we all have to use less water.”

four years ago asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate Macaluso’s business dealings and finances, noting the past bar discipline. The petition got about half of the 200 signatures required before being closed. Macaluso, raised on the East Coast and trained in law in Detroit, built his early career on aviation-related cases and became an experienced pilot. He also specializes in product liability, personal injury and medical malpractice litigation. He has tried cases throughout the country, and at one point was retained by the families of two victims of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In 2008, he won a $55 million verdict for the families of four Marines who were killed in a helicopter crash on Camp Pendleton. A jury determined that San Diego Gas and Electric, which owned the utility tower that the helicopter struck, was negligent and acted with malice because no safety devices were installed. He was also one of the first lawyers to sue SDG&E on behalf of several people who lost their homes in the 2007 wildfires, blaming the power company for not clearing brush around its utility lines. Macaluso is to be sentenced on July 13 and is expected to be ordered to pay restitution to his victims. He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.

call seeking comment. Since 2009, the Crosby has been owned and operated by Escalante, purchased from the original developer Starwood Capital.

POOL noted information from experts that says even without a pool cover, which cuts water loss from evaporation, a pool uses less water over three years than a turf lawn of the same size. Pools are significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as drought-tolerant landscaping. According to pool and fitness committee member Tim Parillo, a four-lane dedicated lap pool plus a generous recreation area for uses such as water aerobics or children’s play equals a total evaporation rate of about 230 gallons a day, which is one-third of the average daily consumption in Rancho Santa Fe. Resident Sarah Neal offered that a community pool facility might entice people to stop filling their backyard pools or not to build any. Overton said that the concerns about water are being heard and the Association’s Committee on the Natural Environment (CONE) is working on a task force with members from the Santa Fe Irrigation District and Community Services District. “The Association has taken the continuing drought very seriously and CONE has been very active on all environmental issues, including water conservation,” Overton said. As with other concerns about the pool and fitness center, from location to cost, Overton encouraged people to let the planning process play out. “We’re making an effort to be open and transparent, and we’re going to the community every step of the way,” he said. As pool and fitness committee member Mike Licosati said, the Association chose to proceed in this effort in an open and transparent way when they could opt do the planning and spending all behind closed doors. The decision to spend $350,000 on this professional planning phase was even taken to a community-wide vote, passing in a narrow 762-713 vote. “In the past, the Association would have spent $3 (million) to $12 million without any community input,” Licosati said, noting instead they are embracing the divided community. “This is a vastly improved process, and I think the board should be congratulated for that.” On April 16, the Association held a morning and evening session for the pool and fitness center town hall meeting. About 60 people attended the morning session and 100 were at the evening one. The next steps will include the design team working with the architect and coming up with a site plan, rendering and elevations. The finance team will work on the development and construction budget as well as the financing plan and operational budget. Another town hall presentation is expected in August or September, with the community-wide vote expected to take place in early 2016. At the town hall, Rick Coyne from ClubMark went over the results from the recent survey and focus groups. The group had 557 respondents to the survey on potential amenities for the facility. The most wanted amenities were cardio

continued from page 1

equipment (91 percent), free weights (88 percent) and strength training equipment (87 percent). Both a lap pool and cardio classes received 79 percent of the vote. The least-valued amenities were an enclosed pool (37 percent), spa services (55 percent) and a hot tub (58 percent). Coyne said the community seems to be split 50-50 on the pool with people “vehemently for it” and “vehemently against it.” He said younger families want to use the facilities, while golfers tend to be more against the project. Some have opinions that fall somewhere in the middle — that the facility could be a good thing as long as it doesn’t “destroy” the golf and tennis club and what makes Rancho Santa Fe so special. Some members said they travel to gyms such as LA Fitness to work out, but would prefer to have a place close to home that they could walk or bike to, a place where they could get to know their neighbors. One Rancho Santa Fe resident of 18 months said it’s important to remember that people moving into the community are younger and younger and want a place to go with their families. Another resident, Meredith Garner, said, “The beauty of the health club is everyone can use it. It pulls us all together in a positive, community way.” Through their numerous meetings and focus groups, the committee has heard many concerns about parking as well as soils and the water table at the site. A soil study is expected to be complete in June or July, and if it is not feasible to build there, the pool effort could end at that point. Another recurring issue is “keeping the rural nature of Rancho Santa Fe,” Coyne said, referring to the quietness of the golf course and the tennis club. “Once a proposal is developed, it will be more feasible to address these issues.” Many questioned why the golf and tennis campus is the only possible location for the pool. Board member Heather Slosar said the Osuna Ranch is often brought up as a potential location. As Slosar explained, the Osuna is zoned residential and the only way to change the zoning is to gather signatures from 68 percent of surrounding residents. In the past, the Association tried to gather that 68 percent for a park and a home for the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol and were unsuccessful. The only property zoned for recreation is the tennis and golf club campus. In the past, there was an attempt to rezone the soccer fields, which was not possible. Slosar said it was hard enough just to get 68 percent approval for the play structure there, and Overton said they also frequently get complaints about the restroom building on the field property. “There’s a lot of neighbor sensitivity, which makes it very problematic to pursue rezoning,” Overton said. “We’re going to see if we can make it work on the golf and tennis campus. We may not be able to, but that is the task ahead of us for the next few months.”

BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ The road to becoming a writer is different for every author, but for most there is a catalyst that makes them finally sit down in a chair and write. For career counselor and University of San Diego adjunct faculty member Gina DeLapa, a love of writing that started in childhood became a book as a result of bits of advice written in a journal for her nephew — which turned into the successful “Stuff You Already Know' series, which includes “Stuff You Already Know” and “Stuff You Already Know — And Every College Student Should.” Aspiring writers will find inspiration in what DeLapa shares about her process. And with graduation around the corner, bring your high school or college students to meet her and learn how to maximize their educational experience at 1 p.m. May 9 at Barnes & Noble Grossmont Center and 7 p.m. May 15 at Bookstar in La Jolla. For more on DeLapa and her books, check out www.stuffyoualreadyknow. com. Q: You are the author of the “Stuff You Already Know” series. If we already know it, why write the books? Ha! Great question. The shortest answer can be found in my tagline: “Life’s Ultimate Reminders.” We do know this stuff, but sometimes we all need small reminders to keep us moving in the right direction. Q: What kind of Stuff will readers find in “Stuff You Already Know for College Students”? All the stuff they’ll wish they had known in hindsight — from creative ways

to choose a major to how to get rid of Camping Carl, the guy who drops by the dorm room and won’t leave. Most of all, students will discover practical ways to maximize the return on their college investment, both inside the classroom and far beyond it. Q: What was your inspiration for the series? It really started with the desire to share a few words of wisdom for my non-biological nephew Adam, who was just starting high school. There was “stuff” I wanted him to know, to make his life easier. I’m proud to say that first book has since been enjoyed by people of all ages, from middle schoolers to folks in their eighties and, of course, by Adam, who’s now a junior. Q: Writing figured in your life since you were a child, and you even edited two national newsletters. But what made you finally sit down and write a book? I guess I have a lot of opinions! The deal with Adam started as a collection of notes —mostly one-liners — in a red leather journal. The more I surrendered the whole thing, the more my enthusiasm grew, and the more people flooded into my life to make it something bigger than I could have envisioned on my own — first, a book, and then a series. The cool thing is, the store where I bought that red leather journal, Bookstar at Costa Verde, now carries my books! If I can throw in a quick, shameless plug, I hope to see as many people as possible at the store event on Friday, May 15. Or at the B&N in Grossmont on May 9. Q: You have a master’s

I see so much good in the twentysomething generation. They’re so full of life, so witty, and optimistic. On a good day, they bring out those qualities in me. And I venture to say readers will see those qualities reflected in my writing. Q: Family has been a huge part of your life. How has family influenced your books? As a kid of maybe 3 or 4, I remember taking family trips to the public library. I loved books, even just the smell of them. My mother and older brothers taught me how to read before kindergarten. So I think that planted the seed for my love for words. When I was in high school, my dad and I would read poetry together. Some of it was really sappy, but it really brought us together. Beyond that, as the youngest, I probably did a lot of observing. And as a young adult, my mother inspired me by her example to keep a “Lessons Learned” journal. Without that, I don’t think there would be a “Stuff You Already Know” series. Thanks, Mom! Q: What is the easiest part of being a writer? What is the most difficult? I get paid to affirm and encourage other people — and to get them to laugh and maybe see life in a different way. It’s an awesome privilege, because let’s face it, life can be hard.

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK From preschoolers in Africa to high schoolers in San Diego, Hands United for Children helps underprivileged children around the world. To fund projects at home and abroad, the Rancho Santa Fe-based nonprofit is holding its fourth annual fundraising gala May 29 at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. “It’s wonderful to make an impact,” said Agnes Barrelet, executive director of Hands United for Children. “We are growing and want to make an even bigger impact in the future.” Founded in 2006, Hands United for Children aims to provide education, shelter, health and individual welfare to underprivileged children. Since Barrelet became executive director in 2011, the organization has built a preschool for children in Agnes Barrelet, right, is executive director of Hands Sapone, a town in the West African country United for Children, which has built a preschool for of Burkina Faso.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vegas Pugs,â&#x20AC;? and organizers are expecting some of the most creative costumes yet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; showgirls, Rat Pack, perhaps Elvis? The annual event also boasts a shopping boutique with pug-friendly vendors. Popular contests for pugs and their parents will be held through the day such as costume-themed competitions, the Wet T-Shirt Contest, the Cupcake Chomp, Pug Talent Show and the recognition of the Most Distinguished Senior Pug. There will also be a raffle of more than 20 beautiful baskets with gifts and unique items any recipient would love. Pug-friendly services are also available throughout the day, such as pawticures, pug massages, facials and more. There will be an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask the Vetâ&#x20AC;? session to address pug-specific concerns, and a professional photographer will provide portraits, a feature many pug parents look forward to year after year. All proceeds go to Pug Rescueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts. In 2014, volunteers from Pug Rescue took in more than 150 pugs. According to the organization, nine out of 10 pugs that enter Pug Rescue need some sort of medical attention.

Jewish Learning Institute explores origins of Judaism starting May 6 The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute will present “Judaism Decoded: The Origins and Evolution of Jewish Tradition,” a six-week spring course that will uncover the formula that has sustained Jewish tradition for millennia. Rabbi Levi Raskin of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the course sessions at 7 p.m. Wednesdays starting May 6. “Just as science follows the scientific method, Judaism has its own system to ensure authenticity remains intact,” explained Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s New York headquarters. “We wanted to shed light on the mystery that surrounds biblical interpretations. This really is an eye-opening course.” With the world changing at a rapid pace, “Judaism Decoded” tackles the intricate questions of whether rabbis can unilaterally change Torah, and how Jewish tradition reacts to new circumstances and modern-day dilemmas. “Judaism Decoded” is “an extraordinarily sophisticated examination of Talmudic methodology, tackling the toughest questions about the nature and legitimacy of rabbinic law,” said Dr. Eugene Kontorovich, a law professor at Northwestern University and contributor to the influential Volokh Conspiracy law blog. The course, he said, combines “high academic rigor with fundamental rooting in Jewish tradition.” “Judaism encourages us to question,” added Rabbi Levi Raskin, the local JLI instructor in RSF. “Torah law is built on a complex source code, and we’re going to examine it in detail. But we’re going to reach back even further: How do we even know the Torah is true in the first place? “This course is going to address these controversial questions head-on. I don’t think anyone will want to miss this.” Like all previous JLI programs, “Judaism Decoded” is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-756-7571or visit jewishrsf.com for registration and other course-related information. JLI courses are presented in Rancho Santa Fe in conjunction with the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF.

Village Church Community Theater holding auditions May 28 for ‘Amahl’ The Village Church Community Theater announces auditions for the role of Amahl in the production, “Amahl and the Night Visitors” (fully staged with live orchestra). The auditions will be from 4-7 p.m. May 28 at the Village Community Church, 6225 Paseo Delicias in Rancho Santa Fe. Amahl is the lead role for a boy soprano, approximately 10-12 years old. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 4 and 5 p.m. Dec. 6. Audition requirements: Perform a memorized 1to 2-minute song of your choice and a musical excerpt from the opera. An accompanist will be provided if needed. For audition information, which will provide the excerpt for the audition and an appointment, contact: margiew@villagechurch.org or call 858-756-2441, ext. 128. Gian Carlo Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors” is a retelling of the story of the Magi from the point of view of a crippled boy named Amahl who lives in poverty with his widowed mother near Bethlehem. He sees a bright star in the sky one night and tells his mother to go look, but she brushes him off, buried in concern over their bleak future. That night, three kings come across their meager hut and seek shelter, for they have traveled long and far following the star of which Amahl has spoken. They bring with them treasure and gifts to give to “the Child” who has just been born and will reign over all. Blinded by the lure of their gold and what it could do for her family, the mother attempts to steal just a bit of the treasure, but is caught. What no one expects is a gift far greater than gold: Blessed by the Child, Amahl finds himself suddenly cured of his disability. A vivid and accessible tale originally created for television, “Amahl and the Night Visitors” is a perfect family one-hour opera.

The project is expected to be complete by July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done bits and pieces, but this is a substantial remodel to modernize everything,â&#x20AC;? Mulvany said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived inside the confines of the structure, and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making the structure work for us.â&#x20AC;? With an emphasis on preventive medicine, All Creatures Hospital offers annual wellness exams, puppy and kitten health care packages, immunizations, senior pet programs and microchips. The animal hospital also features dental and surgical suites

for in-hospital procedures, and after the remodel project, will now offer boarding services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever we do, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the best interest of our patients,â&#x20AC;? Mulvany said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the best that we can do, then we can go home at night knowing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the right thing.â&#x20AC;? All Creatures Hospital is a family-owned and operated business. Mulvany joined All Creatures Hospital in 1984, one year after it opened. A Carmel Valley resident, he graduated from veterinary school in 1983. After a oneyear medical and surgical internship at a 17-doctor hospital in Santa Cruz, he joined All Creatures Hospital and became the sole owner in 1997. His wife and son both work at the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like working with the clients, and I like seeing the patients,â&#x20AC;? said, Mulvany, a San Diego native who began volunteering at a veterinary clinic when he was a high school student in Point Loma. Open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, including weekends and holidays, All Creatures Hospital offers 24-hour hospitalization. A total of six veterinarians and about two dozen staff members work at the hospital.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - APRIL 23, 2015 - PAGE B11

To Your Health: 5 things to know about new weight-loss procedure BY MARK TAKATA, M.D. Nearly 79 million adults in the U.S. are significantly overweight. If you’re one of them, you probably know that carrying excess weight can contribute to serious health issues such as diabetes and heart disease. You may even have tried various diets, drugs and other tactics to lose weight without much success. Now, another option is available. Recently, the FDA approved VBLOC vagal blocking therapy, a new weight-loss technique that uses an implanted device to control appetite without medications or traditional bariatric surgery. Scripps Clinic Center for Weight Management is the only medical center in San Diego offering VBLOC. Here’s what you need to know about it. 1. Vagal blocking therapy is a unique type of weight loss technique. Unlike diets, drugs or bariatric surgery, vagal blocking therapy essentially works like a pacemaker for your appetite. A small, laparoscopically implanted device sends electrical impulses to your vagal nerve, which runs from your brain stem all the way to your digestive system and controls sensations of hunger and fullness. By intermittently blocking the vagal nerve, the device blocks hunger signals sent to the brain. Your brain believes you are full, which decreases your appetite to help you eat less and lose weight. Of course, vagal blocking does not give you permission to eat whatever you want. You still need to eat sensibly, and vagal blocking therapy is designed to make it easier to do so. 2. Vagal blocking therapy is designed for patients who need to lose a significant amount of weight. More than one-third of U.S. adults are obese, which is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or

Mark Takata, M.D. more. While bariatric surgical procedures such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy can be viable options, only about 1 percent of people who are candidates for bariatric surgery actually have the procedure. Vagal blocking therapy offers another alternative. Vagal blocking therapy is intended for people with a BMI between 35 and 45 who have at least one obesity-related medical problem, such as diabetes, sleep apnea, or high cholesterol. People who have pacemakers or who may need an MRI may not be able to use the device. In addition, people considering this procedure should have first tried to lose weight by diet and exercise in a supervised program within the past five years. 3. Vagal blocking therapy is completely reversible. Vagal blocking therapy does not involve dividing, restricting or rearranging the stomach or intestines in any way. The device is implanted with minimally invasive techniques through four or five small incisions, and is generally performed on an outpatient basis, with patients going home the same day. The physician programs the vagal blocking therapy device to send electrical impulses according to each patient’s individual needs, and can increase or decrease the intensity over time. Vagal blocking therapy is designed to be a long-term, permanent weight loss tool, not a cure for obesity. It can be deactivated or completely removed if desired, but pa-

tients are more likely to gain the weight back if this happens. 4. Vagal blocking therapy has been proven effective. In clinical trials, people who had the procedure lost an average of 25 percent to 30 percent of their excess weight, enough to result in significant improvements in cardiac-related conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Results will vary depending on factors such as intensity of treatment, patient motivation and follow-up care, but this is considerably more than the 10 percent to 15 percent weight loss generally associated with approaches such as diet, exercise and medications. 5. People who want to lose weight should explore all the options available and find the best fit. Successful weight loss depends on finding the treatment that fits your goals and your lifestyle, and it is important to work with a specialist who can offer the right medical options to help you get and stay fit. Comprehensive weight loss treatment centers offer a full range of options, including behavior modification, meal replacement plans, support groups, pharmaceuticals and bariatric surgery; Scripps Clinic Center for Weight Management now offers VBLOC vagal blocking therapy as well. Mark Takata, M.D., is a general surgeon with Scripps Clinic Medical Group who specializes in advanced laparoscopic and bariatric surgery and is among a small number of surgeons in the country with experience implanting the VBLOC device. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Aesthetic Center of La Jolla: New face, new you without surgery BY MARTI GACIOCH raditional invasive facial surgery is not the only way to improve facial appearance or repair skin damage. Dr. Roy David, MD, FACS, is expertly trained in many new medical alternative technological treatments for improving skin and appearance. Dr. David, a board certified facial plastic surgeon and medical director of the Aesthetic Center of La Jolla, established his medical spa 10 years ago to offer patients these new nonsurgical treatments. The center specializes in new medical technology, including ultrasound devices and radio frequency devices to rejuvenate skin by tightening loose skin and providing people with long lasting results. Injectable fillers are used to add volume to the face, and by doing a combination of volumizing and tightening the skin and deeper tissues, long lasting results are achieved that can hold off the need for surgical intervention. His nurses use Botox to relax wrinkles and prevent deepening facial lines and perform medium-depth chemical peels and medical grade facials (1-3 days recovery time). While there may be flaking and exfoliation, some patients can return to work immediately, while others prefer to take time off to allow the skin to recover. The center also offers laser hair removal and photo facials to remove red spots and brown spots with no down time, and Exilis (radio frequency) for skin tightening and/or fat reduction.

Dr. R Dr Dr. Roy oy yD David a id av d

Ultherapy (advanced ultrasound device) is used to tighten the deep layers of tissue over the facial muscles and can cause lifts and tighten the face. Vanquish (advanced radio frequency device) can reduce fat noninvasively over the stomach and love handles in 30 minutes. Dr. David has performed thousands of procedures, but facelift is his most requested surgery, including his new La Jolla lift procedure, which has been featured on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Doctors.â&#x20AC;? Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) is also popular. Dr. David primarily has female patients, but more men want facial procedures because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying in business longer and want to look as good as they feel. Patients range in age from people in their mid 20s to 70s. Young adults with sun damage come in to correct brown or red spots, which is easily done with fractional laser peels and micro grade chemical peels or micro dermabrasion. Dr. David is a graduate of UCSD and the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. â&#x2014;&#x2020; â&#x2013; Free consultations are available by contacting Aesthetic Center of La Jolla, 3252 Holiday Court, Suite 206, La Jolla.

Laughing Pony Rescue celebrates ASPCA’s Help A Horse Day April 26 Laughing Pony Rescue will be taking part in the national celebration of The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ Help A Horse Day on Sunday, April 26, and competing for a chance to win up to $10,000 in grant prizes to help protect horses. To celebrate the day, Laughing Pony Rescue will open its ranch to families and friends. Pony rides will be offered along with horse-related crafts and games.

This nationwide competition is for equine rescues and sanctuaries to raise awareness about the lifesaving work they do year-round to care for at-risk horses in their community, who have often been abused or neglected. Horses have been central to the ASPCA’s work since its founding 149 years ago, when Henry Bergh stopped a cart driver from beating his horse, resulting in the first successful arrest for the mistreatment of a horse on April 26, 1866. The event is from 12:30-3 p.m. April 26 near the Bridges in Rancho Santa Fe. Address will be sent upon registration. Reserve to events@laughingponyrescue.com.

A Tree House Finds its Roots My husband Charlie grew up in The Bronx in New York, no doubt surrounded by brick and concrete, and one day he told me that he had always dreamed of having a tree house. I am happy to say that we are ﬁnally giving him that dream. Thanks to the great work of the designers and landscapers at www. naturedesigns.net, my family and I have decided to transition our backyard to make it completely sustainable and eco-friendly: a

real life tree house! We realized that living in Rancho Santa Fe is such a beautiful privilege that we wanted to give back to not only the community, but the environment as well. Over the coming months, we will be improving our irrigation system to maximum efﬁciency while creating a colorful yet low-water landscape. We want to surround ourselves with beautiful, native, drought resistant plants, while maintaining an outdoor living space that welcomes guests and dogs alike. We will be improving the soil by adding compost and mulch to retain moisture. These are just a few of the additions and changes we will be making to our yard, and we welcome others in the community to follow in our footsteps. Below are some tips for making your yard

sustainable and environmentally happy. Irrigation -- Monitor water usage weekly and check the irrigation system regularly for water runoff, leaks, and overspray. -- Program three start times per watering day. Run zone should only run as long as the water soaks into the soil. Once run-off occurs, stop watering. Wait 1-2 hours, then run that zone again. Then repeat. This allows the water to saturate deeper into the soil and reduces run-off. Plants are able to grow roots into the deeper moisture which strengthens them. --Once established, native and drought tolerant plants will need very little irrigation. Make sure to adjust according to their needs. -- Adjust timing seasonally to account for

heat and cooler temperatures, and dormant months. -- Use a Smart controller to make programming easier to adjust. -- Consider installing a greywater system. Pools -- Add a pool cover if possible to reduce evaporation. -- Install solar heating. -- Replace inefficient and loud single speed pool pumps with high-efficiency, quiet, variable speed pumps. -- Convert to a salt system, UV, ionic, or oxidation water quality system.

The North San Diego County Association of Realtors will host a free First-Time Home Buyer Workshop from 9-11:30 a.m. May 2 at the Escondido Chamber of Commerce, 720 N. Broadway, Escondido. Free coffee and doughnuts. Registration is recommended at http:// goo.gl/745kXC. The workshop provides valuable information on down payment assistance programs and includes a wealth of resources to help buyers become purchase-ready. First-time home buyers will receive answers to questions, as well as information on how to become a homeowner, such as: • The benefits of buying a home versus renting • Special home ownership grants and programs for single parents • How using a Realtor can help you achieve your homeownership goal • How previous homeowners may still qualify as a first-time home buyer • How much is needed for a down payment • Getting finances in order to prepare for home ownership • Whether you need credit to buy a home • How much home can you afford • And much more! The workshop is funded by a grant from the National Association of Realtors’ Housing Opportunity Program to support and expand affordable housing opportunities and activities, including consumer education.

we find ourselves telling stories we’ve never shared with anyone, including ourselves — for example, when I wrote (in the first book) about my friend Susie, under the banner of, “Don’t make death harder than it is,” it ripped my heart out to relive that experience. But in the end, the story offered hope and redemption. I would not have left it in the book had it turned out otherwise. Q: As you became a published author, what was the most important lesson you learned along the way? Maybe just to get over myself! This really isn’t about me — it’s about passing along what I’ve learned, in the best way I know how, and trusting God with the results. I’m very careful in all my books to tell the reader, “Filter this through the lens of your own experience, and keep and pass along only what is helpful.” Q: What was the best piece of advice you were given as a writer?

AUTHOR

A guy named Hugh Aaron, a businessowner-turned-author, reminded me that writing itself was its own best reward. “Good thing,” he added, “because it’s tough to sell your wares.” Then he summed up with, “You want to write? Then write.” Q: What is the most important bit of Stuff you would pass along to aspiring authors? Honor your own writing style — whether it’s literary, journalistic, or just pithy one-liners. When someone tries to stop you or discourage you — as they will — use it as rocket fuel. I’m serious about that. And to paraphrase my old friend Hugh Aaron, if you want to write, write. Use your writing to make the world better, and writing truly will be its own best reward. Antoinette Kuritz and Jared Kuritz are the team behind both STRATEGIES Public Relations and the La Jolla Writer’s Conference (www.lajollawritersconference.com).
