RSF Library and Guild celebrating 50 years of service to the community By Karen Billing 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the RSF Library and its hard-working Guild. The first librarian, Fran Johnson, is 93 years old and still living in Rancho Santa Fe. She spent an afternoon reminiscing last week, looking at old articles about the library’s humble beginnings while the library’s current staff admired a sepia snapshot of Johnson in front of the stacks in 1964. Johnson had been an English major at Wesleyan University and is a lifelong lover of books. “You’re never bored and you’re never lonely if you have a good book,” said Johnson, who reads a newspaper every day and always has at least three books going. During World War II, Johnson worked as a sec-

She and her husband, Sam, moved to California after the war and to Rancho Santa Fe in 1959. They had been living in La Jolla but one day Sam had been killing time after a business meeting and took a detour through the Ranch with friends. Sam and his friends fell so in love with the area that they all bought land on the spot. Sam designed the house Johnson still lives in today, and he did all the landscaping — he was known around town as an expert in California natives and, for many years, people simply called Fran “Mrs. Sam.” Johnson got the job at the library having studied library science at San Diego State College. She had also catalogued the 350-volume library at Rancho Santa Fe School, a fact she did not remember until

By Karen Billing The membership of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club conducted their own internal vote recently on the RSF Association’s $2.4 million purchase of the facility and an overwhelming number of members were in favor of the sale. Votes counted on March 31 showed 96 percent of the members approved the sale and 4 percent were opposed, according to Helen DiZio, RSF Garden Club president. DiZio declined to release the exact number of people who voted but said it was well over half of the club’s members. “They think what we’re trying to do is good for the community,” DiZio said of the results. “We’ve thought this through over the past three years. We think the money that went into the facility was meant for the people of Rancho Santa Fe and the board of the Rancho Santa Fe AssoSee VOTE, page AA2

Principal selected for Solana Santa Fe The Solana Beach School District recently announced the appointment of Becky Gauthier as principal of Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe. Gauthier has served as interim principal at Solana Santa Fe School since Dec. 2, 2013.

Rancho Santa Fe couple’s Camp Erin featured in HBO Documentary By Kristina Houck At just 15 years old, Annalisa Albanese could not talk about the loss of her father with her friends. No one her age understood her pain until she went to Camp Erin, a bereavement camp for children. “There were other kids who understood the pain of losing a loved one,” said Annalisa, whose father died from kidney cancer on Nov. 10, 2012. He was 52. “Knowing that someone else feels the same pain makes you feel a lot better.” One in seven Americans lose a parent or sibling before the age of 20. Grieving children have an opportunity to share their story, express their feelings and memorialize their loved ones at Camp Erin. Founded by former Major League Baseball player, Jamie Moyer,

“One Last Hug (and a few smooches): Three Days at Grief Camp” features Camp Erin Los Angeles, one of 43 bereavement camps for children established by Rancho Santa Febased Jamie and Karen Moyer. Photo/Kristina Houck and his wife, Karen Moyer, the camp is featured in the HBO documentary, “One Last Hug (and a few smooches): Three Days at Grief Camp.” The film debuts April 14. “‘One Last Hug’ illuminates a child’s unique perspective on death,” said Karen Moyer in a

short speech before a private screening of the film on March 27 at UC San Diego’s Price Center Theater. “It’s a testament to the healing power of friendship.” The Rancho Santa Febased couple launched the Moyer Foundation in 2000 to provide comfort, hope and healing to children af-

fected by loss and family addiction. Camp Erin was created two years later in memory of Erin Metcalf, a Seattle Mariners fan who died from cancer at 17. The foundation now has 43 Camp Erin locations across the United States and Canada, including one See CAMP, Page AA2

LIBRARY continued from page 1 small lending library at Bill and Emma’s Café, a soda fountain on Paseo Delicias. “The old service was all right as far as it went but there were delays if Bill and Emma were busy in the kitchen or at the coffee counter and the choice of books wasn’t very large either,” Johnson said in a March 1964 article in the Evening Tribune. The Rancho Santa Fe Association began conversations with the County Board of Supervisors to establish the community’s own library to serve “3,000 highly literate people” in Rancho Santa Fe. The supervisors agreed to put the library on the Ewing property, the old Post Office building on La Granada and Paseo Delicias, settling on rent of $150 a month. According to an article written by longtime Guild member Ellie Johns, the rent was more than the county budget. Alice Ewing, with “her generous heart and civic spirit,” had lowered the rent from $300 but it was still too much for the county, leading to the formation of the Guild to supplement what the county could not provide. Helen Weddell was named the first president of the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild in 1963. “She was quite a power,” recalled Johnson of Weddell. It was Weddell who selected the name Library Guild over the more typical “Friends of the Library”

CAMP continued from page 1 in every Major League Baseball city. More than 10,000 children have attended the camps since the first Camp Erin took place in 2002, in Erin’s home state of Washington. In addition to Camp Erin, the foundation launched Camp Mariposa for children affected by addiction in their families. Both camps offer traditional camp activities, as well as education and support that helps children understand and express their feelings, and learn to process what they are going through. “Every one of these

Weddell was instrumental in gathering funds from charter members and the membership roll reached such proportions that they had to extend the dates for “Ranchoites” to sign up. There were over 450 charter members, their names inscribed on a commemorative scroll still on display at the library. “The remarkable thing is how the membership happened, with just word of mouth,” Appleby said. A committee of Rotarians, led by Rancho Santa Fe Fire Chief James Fox, went to work refurbishing the space for a one-room library, doing all the painting, tiling and replacing the plumbing in late 1963. The formal opening for Rancho Santa Fe’s new little library was held on Feb. 29,

1964. The library’s dedication had been postponed in deference to Ewing, who had passed away. An 18th century sofa table was selected to hold a plaque and a perpetual fresh flower arrangement in memory of Ewing. The table is still in the library today, just inside the front door. According to Rancho Santa Fe Times clippings, the library was a success from the day it opened. It had 3,000 fiction volumes to suit every taste “from dripping gore to rough and ready Western.” The other 4,000 volumes ranged from picture books for the very young to reference works for “the serious student.” The paper reported that on the first day of the library’s opening 115 books went out and a total of 435 books went out the first week of the opening — 218 by children and 217 by adults. Around 1965, the Guild became serious about looking for a site for a permanent library building. Roger Rowe, the superin-

kids fills my heart, and I’m thrilled that these camps exist for them,” said Moyer, a mother of eight. “Both camps are unique and super fun. These kids come together and they find positive ways to cope. It truly allows them to live on and live well.” In 2013, Camp Erin San Diego held its first session in partnership with San Diego’s Elizabeth Hospice. Annalisa was one of the 92 campers ages 6 to 17. Camp was especially difficult for Annalisa as it was held during her father’s birthday on June 8. “It was very emotional,” said Liz Sumner,

director of the Center for Compassionate Care at San Diego’s Elizabeth Hospice. Sumner sent brownies to Annalisa’s cabin, where she and her fellow campers lit candles and sang “Happy Birthday.” “It was an opening for her to start to find some healing.” Annalisa, now a 17-year-old junior at Excelsior Academy in San Diego, spoke about her experience at camp on a panel after the private screening. “Everyone understood,” she said. “Even though it was really sad, I had everybody there for me.” Camp is held once a year, with the next Camp

tendent of the school district, was very supportive of the Guild’s vision and in the Times Rowe was quoted as saying the vacant school land site would provide an “excellent opportunity for increased library usage by the school children.” Rowe sold the library site to the Guild for $1. In April 1968, the dedication for the new library on Avenida De Acacias was held with Weddell proudly holding the ribbon to be snipped. The library was built in a little over a year for $85,000, including $75,000 from contributions from Arthur Lindberg and Bill Evans, as well as 15 of their friends who remained anonymous. “A little bit was added to the library at a time which makes it’s so charming,” Miller said. “It’s like a house. It’s the most comfortable library to be in.” “People always ask if it used to be a home,” Appleby said. “That was the architect’s intent, to make it feel like someone’s home and not an institutional building.” Johnson didn’t serve as the librarian for long because she left to work at the UC San Diego Library where she stayed for 18 years. She said she loved working at the RSF Library because she was able to choose her own hours — only working four hours on Fridays so she could play tennis with her friend from the RSF Library, Ginny Dewey. Dewey retired from the library just two years ago. Fifty years since Weddell’s determination and drive, the Guild is still ex-

tremely active in funding the library for the community. “The Guild raises funds to meet the gap between what the county provides and the services and resources that our community expects,” Appleby said. The Guild still pays the salaries of the Children’s Library librarians, has purchased all of the books with gold spines on the shelves and while the county provides a portion of the periodicals, the Guild funds the rest — the latest magazines are always available. The Guild still relies on donations and fundraising events, and its recently remodeled Book Cellar serves as an important source of revenue. Appleby said the library plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary throughout the year with a variety of activities. A few improvement projects are also in the works, such as renovating the restrooms and parking lot in the back. The library has come a long way from that twiceweekly bookmobile. As Miller said, residents wanted and demanded a “real library” for their town and through the support of the Guild the library has been kept alive. “Rancho Santa Fe has always been distinguished by its strong sense of civic pride and responsibility,” wrote Ellie Johns. “The library is a prime example.” The RSF Library is located at 17040 Avenida de Acacias Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067; (858) 756-2512.

Erin San Diego session set for June 6-8 at Camp Marston in Julian. The camp is still recruiting campers and volunteers. Annalisa plans to return to Camp Erin San Diego in June. She wants to eventually be a counselor at the camp. “Don’t be afraid,” Sumner said. “It’s a chance for you to be surrounded by people who really understand. You’re not alone.” Camp Mariposa San Diego, which is run in partnership with San Diego Youth Services, also held its first session in 2013. The camp is held five times each year in Pine Valley. The next sessions take place May 16-18, Aug. 22-

24, Oct. 17-19 and Dec. 5-7. It costs about $500 to send a child to camp. Camp sessions are free for campers, so the Moyer Foundation raises funds for programs and initiatives through special events, corporate partnerships and individual donations. The foundation also relies on volunteers. More than 80 volunteers supported Camp Erin San Diego last year. “It is our hope that this film will shed light on the need to raise awareness about childhood grief, and it will result in widespread advocacy and support all across this country,” Moyer said. “This documentary has no Hollywood. I would never, ever allow that.

VOTE continued from page 1 ciation understands the value of this building and would like to have the property available for the community.” The ballots for the community-wide election on the Association’s purchase of the club will be mailed April 4. Members will have a month to vote, with ballots due back by Monday, May 5, at 5 p.m. Last April, 85 percent of the community voted in favor of the sale. Since that time, the deal has been “hammered out” in negotiations but remains largely the same, she said. “It is identical to the talking points with one exception and that is it gives the people of Rancho Santa Fe the option of voting if they decided to change the use of the building,” DiZio said, noting that is an important point for Garden Club members who are also members of the community. “Of course, we would like to continue our mission to make improvements to beautify the community as we’ve been doing for many years,” said DiZio. “That’s what we’re all about, helping Rancho Santa Fe and making things better here.” Ballots in the community-wide vote will be counted on May 6 in an open meeting that any member is allowed to attend to observe the process. The votes will be counted at 2 p.m. in the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District board room.

These are real stories from real kids who come to our camp.” Directed by Academy Award nominee Irene Taylor Brodsky, “One Last Hug” offers an intimate portrayal of the three-day camp. The documentary, which features Camp Erin Los Angeles, will debut at 8 p.m. April 14 on HBO. To watch the trailer, visit youtu.be/uTTpCmMCLLE.

RSF native pursuing comedy hits milestone with YouTube channel ‘Totally Sketch’ By Rob LeDonne It’s happened to all of us. We’re sitting at our computers, and a friend or family member sends over the link for a humorous online video. “You have to see this,” typically reads the accompanying message, and once playing the video does its part to make you crack a smile and hopefully laugh. If this has happened to you within the past five years, odds are one of the videos was the brainchild of Michael Gallagher, a 2007 graduate of Torrey Pines High School who runs the comedic YouTube channel “Totally Sketch.” “It started pretty organically,” explained Gallagher, who’s currently celebrating his five-year anniversary of making funny web videos. Growing up in Rancho Santa Fe and as a student at Torrey Pines, Gallagher had a deep interest in comedy and has worked at pursuing it in the intervening years. Since the launch of Totally Sketch in 2009, he’s racked up the views to prove his success, and his large collection of videos has netted Gallagher over a million YouTube subscribers and hundreds of millions of hits. In fact, one of his most famous videos — a raunchy yet silly skit called “Interactive Sex” — has racked up 108,000,000 views alone. “That one probably has a lot of views because of its title, but we do a lot of videos in the ‘interactive’ series, and it’s set up kind of like a choose your own adventure book,” Gallagher explained from Los Angeles, where he currently resides. What sets Totally Sketch apart from the many other channels that flood YouTube is that while Gallagher has a hand in every video, each one’s cast of actors changes to fit the sketch’s demands. For example, if a video needs an elderly man, Gallagher will cast an actual elderly man, instead of dressing someone up to fit the part. “This is different from what ‘Saturday Night Live’ usu-

Michael Gallagher Courtesy photo ally does,” explains Gallagher of the holy grail of sketch comedy television. “They have a certain cast of actors, and I think that’s limiting. Though, it’s probably the filmmaker side of me that thinks that.” Gallagher’s filmmaker side can be traced back to his time studying at the Los Angeles branch of the New York Film Academy. While there, he cut his teeth on everything involved with movie production, right on the Universal Studios backlot. “I learned quite a bit there,” Gallagher explains of the program that gives each student all of the resources of a professional filmmaker. The experience led him to want to pursue show business as a career, and throughout the rest of his time at Torrey Pines and beyond, he’s held a variety of random odd jobs. “I was assisting on everything. One of my first gigs was directing a commercial/music video for Sha Na Na,” Gallagher notes of the group from the movie “Grease.”

Shortly after graduating Torrey Pines, Gallagher began working on a daily webseries for an internet upstart, and then created Totally Sketch in 2009. “What really helped us was that a lot of people in the tech world with millions of followers were tweeting out the links to my first few videos,” Gallagher said. “From there, we made our own audience.” In Totally Sketch’s past five years of internet videos, Gallagher has worked with countless people. Among them, Keith David (from classic comedy “There’s Something About Mary”); Roger Bart (the Tony Award-winning actor from “The Producers”); and the members of the Good Neighbor comedy troop whose members Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney (himself a 2003 graduate of nearby Scripps Ranch High School) are currently cast members on the aforementioned “Saturday Night Live.” In addition, Gallagher’s style of zany comedy has landed him highpowered Hollywood representation, as well as many fans in high places (including the actor Emile Hirsch, and Andy Samberg’s famed Lonely Island comedy troop). Gallagher is also a creative executive and co-founder of YouTube network Maker Studios, which just last week was purchased by the Disney company for $500 million. Explained Disney CEO and Chairman Robert Iger to The Hollywood Reporter: “Short-form online video is growing at an astonishing pace and with Maker Studios, Disney will now be at the center of this dynamic industry with an unmatched combination of advanced technology and programming expertise and capabilities.” Throughout it all, Gallagher realizes how lucky he is to have success in a career that genuinely interests him. “I’m doing what I love and having fun with my friends at the same time. What could be better than that?” Check out Totally Sketch’s Youtube page at: https:// www.youtube.com/TotallySketch

Prosecutor Terri Wyatt departed DA’s office to run for former boss’s seat

‘Have Trunk Will Travel’ elephants will not return to fair in Del Mar

By Pat Sherman The third and final candidate in the district attorney’s race, Pacific Beach resident Terri Wyatt, met with this newspaper group recently to talk about her more than 26-year career as a deputy district attorney in San Diego County, and why she believes she would be a better “top cop” than her former boss, three-term incumbent district attorney, Bonnie Dumanis, or fellow challenger, Robert “Bob” Brewer (a private-practice attorney). A graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law, Wyatt touts her experience working everything in the DA’s office from ground-floor traffic ticket prosecutions to high-level rape, murder and gang violence cases. The daughter of a California Highway Patrol officer and a registered nurse, Wyatt spent six years as a division chief (the highest level management job in the DA’s office), overseeing felony case issuing and extraditions. Wyatt touted her role in prosecuting 19 people currently serving life sentences for crimes such as first-degree murder, sexual assaults and a freeway shooting. She was head of the DA’s Lifer Hearing unit when former La Jolla socialite Betty Broderick first became eligible for parole in 2010. Broderick, currently serving a life sentence for the 1989 murders of her ex-husband and his second wife, was denied parole for 15 years. Robert Doyle, who was then commissioner of the Board of Prison Terms and delivered the decision to Broderick, has endorsed Wyatt’s candidacy. Hired in 1986 by now deceased district attorney, Ed Miller, Wyatt said she worked her way up the ranks by following Miller’s creed to “always do the right thing.” She likens her career trajectory to that of newly appointed police chief Shelley Zimmerman.

Have Trunk Will Travel, the organization that provided elephants for display, education and rides at the San Diego County Fair, announced March 27 that it will not be returning to the 2014 San Diego County Fair. This follows a successful engagement at the 2013 San Diego County Fair, including the San Diego community donating over $5,000 toward Asian elephant conservation and embracing the “Save A Species — Ride An Elephant” campaign. For the past 30 years Have Trunk Will Travel has been a part of the San Diego County Fair, providing an opportunity to see and learn about the plight of the endangered Asian elephants. Kari and Gary Johnson of Have Trunk Will Travel informed the 22nd District Agricultural Association of their decision March 27. “We were surprised at the news we received from the Johnsons not to return to the Fair this year, but respect their decision,” said Frederick Schenk, president of

the 22nd District Agricultural Association. “Having the elephants at the Fair has been a valuable tool in educating the public on the plight of the Asian elephant, which includes the threat of extinction because of the ongoing destruction of their native habitat, slaughter and the deadly herpes virus that kills baby elephants. “Have Truck Will Travel has an unprecedented conservation program, and an exceptional reputation in the industry. While the presence of the elephants has drawn controversy and criticism from those who oppose elephant rides, this decision will mean that the over 1.5 million visitors to the annual Fair will no longer have the opportunity to appreciate and experience these magnificent gentle creatures at the Fairgrounds.” For more information on the Del Mar Fairgrounds, visit www.delmarfairgrounds. com. — Submitted press release

By Pat Sherman Three-term San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, who was uncontested in her first two bids for re-election as the county’s top prosecutor, has competition this time as she seeks a fourth term in the June 3 primary election — among them, attorney Robert Brewer. This newspaper group met with both candidates recently to talk about their plans to protect the region if victorious. A third candidate, Terri Wyatt, a former prosecutor in the DA’s office, did not respond to an interview request in time for this feature. Her interview, which was held later, is on page A4. A former prosecutor, Brewer has surpassed Dumanis in fundraising with $482,000 to her $341,000 as of last month’s campaign disclosure reports (Wyatt has about $20,000). Dumanis holds the power of power of incumbency, and the backing of Mayor Kevin Faulconer, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore and all five county supervisors. Though voters historically turn out in smaller numbers for countywide races, Brewer said they should not take the district attorney’s race lightly. “No felony case is filed in San Diego County without the approval and review of a deputy district attorney — and there were 17,000 felonies filed last year in San Diego County,” Brewer said. “The district attorney also files 80 percent of the misdemeanors in the county. … The district attorney has the power to take people’s freedom away, and has the power to put people on death row. There’s no more impactful person in the county.” Dumanis said she’s used that power to unite a divided office after narrowly defeating former DA Paul Pfingst

Robert Brewer

in 2002, going on to cut the office’s budget by $14 million and increase diversity. “When I was a deputy DA in the office there were only six women out of more than 60 deputy DAs,” she said. “Now , a little over half are women.” Dumanis highlighted her office’s role in the prosecution of sexually violent predators, working to craft and assure passage of Jessica’s Law (designed to reduce sexual offenders’ ability to re-offend), as well as her office’s role in prosecuting the killer of teenagers Amber Dubois and Chelsea King. Dumanis also touted “gutsy moves,” such as going after unlicensed contractors who prey on wildfire victims, and an ongoing suit against former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for violating victim’s rights by reducing the

prison sentence of a political ally’s son by more than half (without giving the family a chance to argue against the commutation). Both Dumanis and Brewer say that, if elected, they plan to crack down on elder abuse, identify theft and human trafficking, all of which are on the rise. Dumanis met this month at the U.S.-Mexico border with Attorney General Kamala Harris (who has also endorsed her) to discuss her initiative to combat sexual exploitation and the trafficking of human labor. “We’ve just begun to see the enormity of it,” Dumanis said. Dumanis, whose office boasts a 94 percent conviction rate, said San Diego County has the lowest crime rate in 30 years. “We’re one of the safest urban counties, public safetywise,” she said. “I think people know me. I’m tested and trusted. As I go into the community, they like what we’re doing in the DA’s office.” Brewer, who underscored his leadership serving in combat during the Vietnam War, and role in successfully prosecuting a deeply embedded KGB spy during the Cold War, said his primary goal will be to “regain the confidence of law enforcement,” which he says Dumanis has lost. Dumanis attributed the loss of support to “holding people accountable.” “That includes police officers,” she said. “We prosecute where necessary and sometimes they don’t agree with those decisions.” Dumanis said her office meets monthly with police chiefs and assistant chiefs from cities around the county, See ATTORNEY, page A26

Dale Steffen Dale Steffen, the “bird man of Rancho Santa Fe,” entered two wood-carved bird sculptures in The California Open, the 41st annual international carving competition on Feb. 15 and 16 in San Diego. Steffen’s entries included a miniature and full-sized roadrunner. The larger one, “Sanctuary,” won first place and finished second best of show out of more than 20 sculptures in the decorative life size division, birds of prey, game birds and songbirds categories. Bird sculptures come to life from a lengthy process of love of birds, observation, study, and special attention to detail and composition. Multiple sketches to determine the correct attitude of each bird is important to identify not only the species, but also the story or action of the sculpture. Steffen started his winning carving when his daughter became interested in roadrunners. Cathy would jog in San Diego’s East County, in areas occupied by snakes, lizards and roadrunners. Six sketches and a decade later, Steffen

PAY YOU THE STATE REBATE MONEY UP FRONT!* Steffen’s entries included a miniature and full-sized roadrunner. The larger one, “Sanctuary,” won first place and finished second best of show out of more than 20 sculptures in the decorative life size division, birds of prey, game birds and songbirds categories. Courtesy photos decided to make a roadrunner eyeing a San Diego alligator lizard. The sculpture became a “sanctuary,” or a place of refuge, he said. To create his sculptures, Steffen uses modeling clay to make a scale model of a large bird or fullscale of a small bird. This technique helps him make the bird’s proportions and feather groups accurate. Unlike clay, he noted wood is unforgiving. Once wood is removed from the block, it can’t be added back on.

Steffen uses Da Vinci oils for the final painting. He uses acrylics for the habitats. “Sanctuary” became a life-like wood sculpture where the roadrunner is looking for a lizard lunch under a dead tree stump. The miniature roadrunner is shown having caught a lizard by its tail. In addition to sculpting, Steffen enjoys making oil paintings and pastels of birds. His work can be viewed online at www.sdvag.net.

By Kristina Houck From Aconcagua in Argentina to the Himalayas in Asia, Ake Lindstrom has hiked some of the highest mountains in the world. Most familiar with Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the avid adventurer has reached the peak of the 19,341-foot mountain 50 times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kilimanjaro represents something truly amazing,â&#x20AC;? Lindstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing destination, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also amazing in terms of the impact it has on many lives. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful thing.â&#x20AC;? As the tallest mountain on the African continent and the highest freestanding mountain in the world, approximately 25,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro each year. Born in Kenya, raised in Sudan and educated in England, Lindstrom founded Summits Africa in 2007. The company provides a variety of set departures and professional outfitting services for adventure trips in East Africa, specializing in Kilimanjaro climbs. Lindstrom first climbed the mountain in December 1997 when he was 20 years old. He reached the top in six days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time I went up, I was young and cocky. I went up it like a bull in a china shop, and by the third day, I was as sick as a dog. I realized that taking things easy is the best way. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best secret.â&#x20AC;? Since his first trek to the top, Lindstrom usually chooses a seven-to-eight-day hike, which he also recommends for his clients. Kilimanjaro has six starting points and three different routes to reach the summit, ranging in difficulty. He has led hikers ages 12 to 76 up the mountain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the middle of the African Plains,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a beautiful country surrounded by wildlife and really beautiful people. â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one of those amazing mountains, that if you set your mind to it, is doable by anyone.â&#x20AC;? Solana Beach-based Aardvark Safaris has worked closely with Lindstrom for 15 years. The local company, which arranges custom safari trips, coordinates Kilimanjaro climbs with Summits Africa every month. Lindstrom talked about his experiences climbing and leading hikes during a March 30 event hosted by Aardvark Safaris at a local residence.

Ake Lindstrom Courtesy photo

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of those clients return impressed by the quality, professionalism, safety standards and comfort of their climb,â&#x20AC;? said John Spence, owner of Aardvark Safaris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopeful climbers contact us from all over the U.S. seeking an ethical, responsible and, above all, safe climbing partner. When we work with Ake â&#x20AC;&#x201D; having climbed with him ourselves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we know that our clients are in the best possible hands.â&#x20AC;? Spence noted that the standards set by Summits Africa sets the company apart from similar businesses. With about 400 employees, Summits Africa serves roughly 1,000 people

We Are Buying ...Immediate Cash Paid

each year. Summits Africa provides free bi-annual training for its employees. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business model enables team members to start off as porters and advance their careers to

become camp crew members, trainee guides, assistant guides, head guides, and eventually, trip leaders. Every guide at Summits Africa is a certified Wilderness First Responder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People get a lot of training and opportunities in the Western world. In East Africa there is a lot of exploitation and opportunities are lacking,â&#x20AC;? Lindstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heavily invested in East Africa. My mother and father live in Tanzania. I live in Tanzania and my wife is Tanzanian. This is our home. This is the place we love. This is where we live and where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll die. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our way of being part of the fabric of our community and trying to make things better.â&#x20AC;? Although Summits Africa specializes in Kilimanjaro climbs and Lindstrom believes everyone is capable of climbing the mountain, he recommended prospective hikers research the trip and train beforehand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sort of mountain that if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serious about it, you can get there and most likely get to the top â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as long as you prepare well and make a sensible selection on who you climb with,â&#x20AC;? Lindstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an empowering experience. You take yourself to a whole different place.â&#x20AC;?

The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Walter J. Zable/San Diego Chapter held its 42nd Annual Scholar-Leader-Athlete Banquet March 28 at the Scottish Rite Center in Mission Valley. Among the local athletes honored at the banquet were: Peter Hollen (Torrey Pines), Cole Needham (Santa Fe Christian), Brett Sarem (Cathedral Catholic), Tanner Aiono (Francis Parker) and Zach Schmid (Francis Parker). These athletes joined a group of past NFF Scholar-Leader Athletes from San Diego, including the late Junior Seau and former Helix High stars and current NFL players Reggie Bush and Alex Smith. Oakland Raiders linebacker and former San Diego State star Miles Burris was a recipient of a Scholar-Leader-Athlete Award from the NFF-Walter J. Zable/San Diego Chapter two years. All of the Scholar-Leader-Athlete Award winners received a $1,000 scholarship. Coaches receiving awards are Matt Oliver of Christian High School (Coach of the Year) and John Morrison of Francis Parker (Meritorious Coach of the Year). Scholar-Leader Athletes were nominated by their coaches based on a combination of their performance on the field, grades in the classroom and volunteer work in the community. The some 100 nominations were looked over by the NFF-Walter J. Zable/San Diego Chapter board members and of those 28 were selected. The NFF-Walter J. Zable/San Diego Chapter is sponsored by many in the community, including the San Diego Chargers, Higgs Fletcher and Mack, Union Bank and the Zable Foundation. naB, Twyman), Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 100 Free (Liu), Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 500 Free (Leblanc), Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 500 Free (SantanaA, Li), Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 200 Free Relay (Li, SantanaA, Marxer, Zhu), Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 100 Back (Liu), Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 100 Back (Schmid, SantanaB, Thomson), Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 100 Breast (Yang), Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 400 Free Relay (Chen, Liu, Shao, Yang), Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 400 Free Relay (Schmid, SantanaA, Kang, Harrison).

SEAL–Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation event raises over $1 million Philanthropist Madeleine Pickens and The Del Mar Country Club have announced that more than $1 million was raised at the March 22 benefit to support the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation. The fundraiser — sponsored by TaylorMade, American Airlines, Bumble Bee Tuna, Wells Fargo Bank, The Pangaea Group of Morgan Stanley and others — attracted 135 golfers at the annual Scramble Golf Tournament, and 400 attendees at the spectacular evening gala. The third annual event was organized by Pickens and co-chair Dominique Plewes to thank the Navy SEALs and their families for their military service and to honor fallen heroes. The event featured comments from keynote speaker Robert S. Harward, Jr., Navy SEAL and former deputy commander of the U.S. Central Command;

Dorothy Woods, whose husband, Ty Woods, a Navy SEAL, was killed during a terrorist attack in Benghazi in September 2012; Michael Thornton, retired Navy SEAL and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient; and Kimberly Dozier, author of “Breathing Fire.” The event welcomed distinguished guests, including New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees; former San Diego Chargers linebacker Donnie Edwards; former boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard; professional golf coach Hank Haney; Johnny Walker, who guided and interpreted for U.S. Navy SEALs on various missions in Iraq and has written a new book “Code Name Johnny Walker”; James and Lauree Moffett, Jennifer Moores, Corky Mizer, Jenny Craig, actor Scott Elrod from “Lone Survivor,” and Jessica Sanchez of “American Idol,” who performed

the national anthem. The event also received generous support from John Matty, the Pamplemousse Grille and Chef Jeffrey Strauss, the San Diego Padres and the San Diego Chargers. “We are very thankful for the extraordinary level of support that the San Diego community demonstrated through this event for our Navy SEALs, and their families,” said Pickens and Plewes. “The funds raised will go directly to support the critical programs that the foundation provides our brave warriors and their families. This financial support will strengthen the Naval Special Warfare community to maintain a resilient, sustainable, and healthy force during this era of frequent deployments.” For more information or to make a donation, visit www.sealnswff.org

•Author Laurie Itkin to speak at Carmel Valley Library April 15 By Kristina Houck Laurie Itkin became a millionaire before she turned 40. It all started when she decided to invest her $1,600 inheritance. “I was 24, totally broke and living in Washington D.C.,” Itkin recalled. “I had nothing. I had no car. I lived in a tiny apartment. … But instead of spending the money, I invested the money.” A local resident since 2004, Itkin details her story in her newly released book, “Every Woman Should Know Her Options: Invest Your Way to Financial Empowerment.” The book aims to educate and empower women to become successful investors. “I saw that money grow and I felt really empowered,” she said. “Knowing that I had been laid off twice, you can’t count on an employer to take care of you.” A Pittsburgh native, Itkin first became interested in investing by watching her “Pop-Pop.” With no more than an eighth-grade education, her grandfather built his wealth by investing his money. “He took nothing and built it into something through investing,” said Itkin, who noted he read The Wall Street Journal every day. Itkin went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in economics with a concentration in finance from University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. Today she works as a financial advisor at Coastwise Capital Group in La Jolla. Itkin’s passion is teaching women how to grow the money they earn. Women earn more than their husbands in 40 percent of American families with children, according to a study by the Pew Research Center. Yet fewer than 10 percent of women are “extremely confident” in their ability to invest, according to a Wells Fargo survey. “A lot of women hold off on investing because they’re scared. They don’t want to make a mistake. They don’t want to lose any money,” Itkin said. “Investing has risks. You will lose money sometimes. But over time, if you’re really diligent, you will grow your money.” Also known as “The Options Lady,” Itkin shares information and resources on her website, theoptionslady.com. She also wrote her book geared toward women. “All these books are written by men for men. Very few women are inclined to pick them up and read them because they’re not using language that women can relate to,” she said. “That’s where my book comes in. I wanted to fill that gap between broad personal finance and taking the next step in getting women smart about how to effectively invest their money in the stock market.” In addition to sharing Itkin’s story, the book provides tips on investing. She explains how women can begin investing even with little money. “Women of all ages come to me and say, ‘Laurie, no one has ever explained this to me in a way I could un-

That means I’ve empowered a woman to have the tools and skills to grow her money.” Itkin will talk about her book from 6:30-7:30 p.m. April 15 at the Carmel Valley Library, located at 3919 Townsgate Drive, Carmel Valley, 92130. A portion of book sales at the event will benefit the Friends of the Camel Valley Library. “I just want other women to be able to do what I did,” Itkin said. “I really think they can.” For more information about Itkin and to purchase her book, visit www. theoptionslady.com.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Is the changed RSF Garden Club property purchase a good deal? Underlying the upcoming vote on the RSF Garden Club property purchase is the following issue: Can we trust what our manager and elected representatives have been telling us about this transaction? At a Feb. 6 Board of Directors meeting the following occurred: 1) the Association Manager stated the Garden Club transaction had not changed since an April 2013 membership survey vote approving the deal. A number of directors agreed; and 2) those in attendance learned the manager put off director inquiries as to executive compensation with the statement it was too time consuming for staff to respond. The first statement is inaccurate; the second is deceptive. A review of the transactional documents posted on the Association’s website reveals an addendum to the lease giving the Garden Club possession of a garage in addition to the basement Thrift Shop. It also reveals permissive use licenses for the office and attic. Neither were described in the original deal. Leases and licenses on real property being conveyed create encumbrances. An encumbrance is a restriction on the buyer’s use of and/or title to the property. Like easements, a license can impair the owner’s right to fully occupy the premises. A license giving use privileges to another may affect the purchase value of the property.

It is unclear under what circumstances these leases and licenses can be terminated. I have questions as to how difficult it might be for the membership by majority vote of a 75-member quorum to unilaterally terminate the lease and/or licenses. Further, might there be damages the Association has to pay for termination? Perhaps the pros and cons will address these issues to assist us in voting on this proposed purchase. As to the compensation inquiry, IRS Form 990 is a required disclosure for nonprofits. The Association’s filings, available on the IRS website, encompass employee compensation data and referenced market salary survey studies. Both were to be provided to our directors. When asked if a copy of Forms 990 for the past several years had been provided them by management, most of the directors answered “No.” Tell me, how can directors make good decisions when management does not give them information to which they are legally entitled? With this remarkable lack of candor, one has to wonder as to the credibility of statements coming from management and what other information has been withheld from our directors.

Rant with Randi: ‘The Princeton Mom’: Sane or insane? BY RANDI CRAWFORD I’m all over the place on this one. Yesterday, I read a story about Susan Patton, otherwise dubbed “The Princeton Mom” and I was 100 percent Team Patton. She’s a Princeton alum, who was on campus for a Women and Leadership conference discussing career, resume writing and interview techniques with a group of undergrads. During a breakout session, she asked the female undergrads if they wanted to get married and have children. Apparently, the girls were reluctant to answer and seemed worried about being critically judged for admitting that they wanted

families. This interaction led Susan Patton to pen a letter to the Daily Princetonian, urging female grads to snatch up a husband before they graduate. In her letter, she states, “For most of you, the cornerstone of your future happiness will be inextricably linked to the man you marry, and you will never again have this concentration of men who are

worthy of you.” Her letter went viral and received over 100 million hits on Google in three days, creating a huge debate and infuriating women all across the globe. (I’ll still never understand how things go viral like that, but good for her.) I thought to myself, you do meet great guys at college (I did). In Texas, there’s a saying, “A fertile field for plowing,” and that’s what she’s saying – “Ladies, this is a great opportunity, don’t blow it.” I was reminded of my girlfriends, who graduated college, moved to New York, got fantastic jobs on See RANDI, page A24

Alchemy in Rancho Santa Fe!

Alchemy: (al-kem-me) ... an experiment to transmute lead into gold. Our Association is going to invest approximately $2.5 million in a “must keep” corner of the Village, the Garden Club. But our investment, “the lead,” doesn’t disappear into an outside developer’s pocket, which will happen if we don’t purchase the Garden Club. No! Because of our investment, “the lead,” turns into gold!!! The $2.5 million becomes a local, philanthropic community enhancement fund to be administered by our community for our community and we will own the “must keep” corner. Now that is modern day Alchemy at its best! Jack Queen Rancho Santa Fe

RSF Garden Club purchase agreement Everyone should read the “purchase agreement” on the RSF Garden Club sale to the Rancho Santa Association. You can find it on their website at www.rsfassociation.org. It is a long document that contains things like “Fairness Appraisal” – not really another current market appraisal (originally $2,369,250) as was promised; a “Restricted Account,” which is not really an Endowment Account; the Lease and Addendum for the Shoppe that has some really interesting Addendum provisions; the Donor Agreement for a non-endowment fund with the RSF Foundation and its distribution of funds by an “Advisory Committee,” which is really only advisory; and the restrictions on use of sales proceeds that really broadly define and expand the terms “charitable and educational horticultural and conservation activities” in the Garden Club charter. The net result of the sales transaction is that the “sale” is not really a sale but really a gift to the RSF Association, and the “endowment” to the RSF Foundation is not really an endowment as we all have been told over the last year, but a non-endowment fund. Additionally, we have not really seen a pro forma of costs to run the newly acquired Garden Club facility aside from the estimate of $50,000, a year we see in the proposed budget for the RSF Association. The Garden Club is gifting the property and building and getting what in return: A market rate lease for the basement Shoppe use for 10 years; nonexclusive license to use small office space in the attic for an unknown period of time; and the use of the main meeting hall in the facility for 15 days a year. And finally, only two votes on a purely advisory committee of five board members that suggest to the RSF Foundation which fund applicants should receive consideration of the Garden Club monies. This Advisory Committee is just that – advisory only! The RSF Foundation has sole determination on who receives the Garden Club sale proceeds and interest as per 6.3 of the Charity (RSF Garden Club) Non-Endowment Fund Agreement. “The Charity acknowledges that the Foundation is under no obligation to accept or follow the advice of the Advisory Committee.” Wow, who makes up these terms?? And then who agrees with them? Would you?? Marion Dodson RSF resident and Garden Club member

• This is a prudent investment of the Association’s Open Space/Community Enhancement Fund, which was established to make just such a purchase. The Fund has the resources to make this purchase, and is currently growing at the rate of about $1 million per year, so money used for this purchase will be replenished in approximately 3 years. • The purchase of this property will not result in any increased cost for Association members and does not preclude any other Association projects, such as construction of a community pool or fitness center. • The alternative – sale of the property for commercial development – would eliminate the Garden Club auditorium as a community asset, could result in commercial development of the site that would negatively impact the Village, and could result in the loss of over 30 off-street parking spaces for community use.

• Proceeds from this sale for a price established by two independent outside appraisers will be held in trust by the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation as a permanent fund to benefit the community. This fund can be used to support the Roger Rowe School, community organizations like the Historical Society, Senior Center and Community Center, and beautification and conservation projects – such as water reclamation and conservation at the Golf Club – through the Garden Club. • Costs for maintenance and operations of the property – previously managed by Garden Club volunteers – will be entirely covered by ongoing income from long-term rentals. • The purchase agreement commits the Rancho Santa Fe Association to preserving the auditorium and maintaining access to it by community organizations, but gives the community – by vote of Association members – control over these uses. We strongly urge you to vote YES to approve the purchase when you receive your mail ballot from the Association. It is a prudent and necessary investment in preserving and protecting our community.

• The Rancho Santa Fe Association Board and their Finance Committee thoroughly vetted and approved the entire financial package, and our community overwhelmingly approved this purchase with an 85% affirmative vote last year.

RANDI continued from page A22 Wall Street, and worked their way up the corporate ladder. These girls would go to the gym at 9 p.m. and out to dinner at 11 p.m. I thought their lifestyle was insane, but they all loved it and thought I was lame. Well, they loved it for the first few years, and then it got old and lonely. They wanted to meet a guy and have a family, but living in the city, working around the clock, and meeting guys at bars was not working out for them. It does get lonely coming back to your studio apartment, alone, cooking for yourself, and dating guys that never call you back. And some of these gals did find themselves in their early 30s with no family. So, when I read the letter from The Princeton Mom to these undergrads, I agreed with her. In fact, I applauded her for stating the obvious.

Her article generated so much debate that she wrote a book titled “Marry Smart.” This is why it’s always good to do your research before publicly supporting someone. Let’s just say that after I read a few excerpts from the book, I’m no longer 100 percent Team Patton. Here are just a few quotes: “Invest 75 percent of your energy on finding a partner and 25 percent on professional development. If you’ve struggled with obesity through most of your teen years, then maybe surgical intervention is a good idea for you. If you’re going to go the route of cosmetic surgery to ensure you are ‘as socially successful’ in college as possible, do it early enough to feel comfortable in your new body before going away to school.” And finally, “When she enters college, your daughter will never again be as young, as beautiful, as attractive to men, or as fertile. Encourage her to make the best use of this

time.” Huh? Look, if you’re single, and you want to meet a great guy, then go out and live your life doing what you love. If you drink espresso at midnight, go to your local coffee house and someone else who likes to drink espresso at midnight might just be there too. In my opinion, this book completely devalues women and has them thinking that they will be old, ugly spinsters if they don’t nail down a husband in college. I’m not sure how I didn’t get that the first time around but I was far off the mark. I believe that college is a place to grow up, have fun, meet interesting people, get in a little trouble, work hard, and if you meet a great guy along the way, more power to you. I’d love to see Gloria Steinem’s face when she reads this book! The Princeton Mom, sane or insane, what say you? www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Clara Cetel, my loving grandma.

Silly faces with seniors!

Smiling children and smiling seniors, what could be better! Sometimes, just sometimes, one’s wishes are lucky enough to come to fruition. With an idea in mind, determination, and the right people, a thought on paper can go a long way. I am happy to say, that an idea I had a couple years ago is finally coming to the surface and couldn’t be done without the help of Devorah Raskin, co-director of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF, the women in her community and her beautiful Hebrew School students. One of the biggest keys to longevity, and you don’t have to take a gerontology class to realize this, is social interaction and connection. It became apparent to me through the course of visiting my grandma at her retirement community that we were one of the families that visited the most frequently and on a regular basis. I would get comments from my grandma’s friends how they wanted to adopt my sister and I as their own personal grandchildren...and here in lies the spark that started this whole idea! What if, seniors could form ongoing relationships with an individual from the community? My hope is that this interaction would grow to become more than just a companion to a senior, but more like an adopted family member. So here we go, an idea with no means of getting to my goal. At the end of November 2013 I unfortunately lost my grandma. The news hit me very hard, and although no one wants to see a loved one go, it reminded me the importance of the idea I had come up. I reached out to Devorah Raskin from our local Chabad Center, who has been a very good family friend of ours. I told her now, in my grandma’s honor, I wanted to start my “adopt a grandparent idea.” The first kick-start event was held on March 11 at the RSF Chabad Headquarters. Devorah, myself, and women from the community attended our “Loaves of Love” gathering. Essentially, we baked challah bread to bring to those in need of some extra love. The stories that came back were heartwarming and gave me even more motivation to continue to make this project succeed! The next event we held was at my grandma’s residence before she passed away. Devorah brought her Hebrew School students to perform for my grandma’s community. At the end of their performance, there was a smile to be had on everyone’s face. Smiling children and smiling seniors, what could be better?! I knew, that if this small encounter could put a huge smile on everyone’s face, imagine what a little more individual time with seniors could do! I could not be more thankful for Devorah Raskin for helping me push forward with this idea, the loaves of love volunteers and the RSF Hebrew School students for taking time out of their day to do something special for others! This is a program for seniors of all cultural backgrounds. If you are interested in volunteering, or donating to the cause, please contact AdoptagrandparentSanDiego@ gmail.com. With lots of love and gratitude (and a huge special thanks to Devorah and Chabad RSF), Lizzy Weiss Rancho Santa Fe

By Kristina Houck At just 14 years old, Naomi Murray knows more about birds than most people. A graduate of Free Flightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junior Docent Program, Naomi shares what she has learned with visitors of the exotic bird sanctuary in Del Mar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how smart they are and how much personality they have,â&#x20AC;? said Naomi, a freshman at University City High School in San Diego. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ridiculously intelligent, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just amazing.â&#x20AC;? Naomi is one of 20 children and teens who have graduated from the program since it launched two years ago with a grant from the Del Mar Foundation. The Junior Docent Program kicks off its third year during the week of July 21. During the five-day program, staff members teach children ages 12-16 about bird handling, nutrition and general care, and bird behavior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come in not ever handling a bird before and now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the docents helping people handle the birds,â&#x20AC;? said Theresa Rij, Free Flightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s avian specialist, education project manager and grant writer. Established in 1981 as a boarding and breeding facility, Free Flight evolved into an exotic bird sanctuary where birds and people interact, becoming a nonprofit organization in 2009. Located at 2132 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Free Flight aims to shelter, nurture, educate, advocate and celebrate parrots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the only open sanctuary in Southern California,â&#x20AC;? Rij said. Being open to the public and offering programs such as the Junior Docent Program not only educates the com-

munity about birds, it socializes the parrots, Rij said. There are as many as 40 resident birds at the sanctuary at a given time. All need interaction with people, especially those Free Flight attempts to rehome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What really delights

the birds are people who get them,â&#x20AC;? Rij said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing to have people in wonderment in front of them, but to have them actually know them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the Junior Docents come in.â&#x20AC;? When Naomi first came to Free Flight last summer, she was a shy and quiet girl, Rij recalled. Today, Naomi visits Free Flight every Sunday to care for the birds, help staff and talk with visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I regularly tear up when I leave on Sundays,â&#x20AC;? Rij said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how far they come. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone from being a student to a contributor. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way of the world. It sets them on the right foot going forward.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the Junior Docents, Free Flight is offering Parrot Day Camps and Parrot Summer Camp this year. Geared for children 9-16, camp sessions teach campers the basics about parrots. Naomi, who is also an artist, is helping Rij design the art component of the camps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited,â&#x20AC;? said Rij. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be able to replicate the success weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen with Junior Docents and possibly, in the future, offer an advanced Junior Docent Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be able to reach more people with all abilities and find a way to have their life touched by birds as well as

have the birds be touched by them.â&#x20AC;? In addition to volunteering at the sanctuary, Naomi is also collaborating with Rij on a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book series that will benefit Free Flight. Currently in talks with publishers, Rij is writing the books and Naomi is illustrating the pictures of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abby and Friends.â&#x20AC;? Named in honor of the sanctuaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16-yearold hyacinth macaw, the series will educate children about parrots with proceeds going toward the nonprofit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free Flight has shown me a whole new group of really cool people and made me more brave to try new experiences,â&#x20AC;? Naomi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you like animals, you should definitely consider it.â&#x20AC;? Parrot Day Camp takes place 10 a.m.1 p.m. April 1, 2, 3 and April 8, 9 and 10. Sessions cost $25 per day, $45 for two days and $65 for three days. Parrot Summer Camp takes place 10 a.m.-1 p.m. the week of June 23. Camp is $125 for five days. The Junior Docent Program takes place 10 a.m.-1 p.m. the week of July 21. Camp is $125 for five days. All proceeds support Free Flight.

ATTORNEY

as well as the U.S. attorney. “We’re always looking to improve,” she said. “There is a process by which any issues that come up are addressed. Recently they’ve expressed some concern about how cases have been handled when (officers) are injured and we looked nationwide at how those are handled.” While in her 2006 bid for re-election Dumanis garnered unanimous support from San Diego County law enforcement, Brewer now boasts the endorsement of 98 percent of local law endorsement — including the Deputy Sheriff’s Association of San Diego County, San Diego Police Officers Association, San Diego County Probation Officer’s Association and police associations in Carlsbad, Coronado, Oceanside, Escondido and other cities. “They’re sick and tired of her being a politician, they’ve told her that, and that’s one of the reasons why they didn’t endorse her in 2010,” Brewer said. “Then … she’s sworn in and 70 days later she announces the most political thing she could do — she runs for mayor.” Brewer claims Dumanis’s unsuccessful 2012 mayoral bid and history of making endorsements has politicized the district attorney’s office. (Her endorsements include Carl DeMaio, whom she backed in the 2012 mayor’s race after she came in fourth in the primary, and, more recently, the re-election of San Diego County Clerk Ernie Dronenberg, who has also endorsed Dumanis’s bid for reelection.) Brewer said he believes that, like the U.S. attorney — who is barred from engaging in partisan political activity (including endorsements and fundraising) under the Hatch Act, the district attorney should also not make endorsements. “I will never endorse anyone for any office — ever — when I’m the district attorney, and certainly never run for another office,” he said. Brewer said the district attorney holds an important responsibility to apply state law to politicians. “When you become too close to the politicians, when you become a politician, you create layers of conflicts of interest — and this present district attorney, in 2011, 70 days after she was sworn in for a third term … became what she was supposed to be policing: a politician.”

her rivals, Wyatt may appear the dark horse — garnering far less money and high-level endorsements in the race — she said she has more experience as a prosecutor than Brewer (also campaigning on his prosecutorial experience). Brewer, who also graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law, went on to spend seven years as a prosecutor in Los Angeles (including stints as a deputy DA and as an assistant U.S. attorney). However, Wyatt noted, after that time Brewer returned to San Diego to enter private practice, where he defended white-collar criminals such as Nancy Hoover, girlfriend and convicted co-conspirator of J. David Dominelli, whose La Jollabased company, J. David & Co., bilked investors out of

more than $80 million. Dominelli spent a decade in prison for his Ponzi scheme. Hoover served two and half years of a 10-year sentence for tax evasion by cooperating with prosecutors. (U-T San Diego reported last week that Hoover — now known as Nancy Louise Fletcher — donated $700 to Brewer’s campaign, a contribution Dumanis’s campaign has said Brewer should return.) “(Brewer) spent over 30 years in this county, in this community, representing high-level, very sophisticated fraud defendants,” Wyatt said. “I don’t think that’s the mindset people in the community want as their district attorney.” Wyatt — who retired from the DA’s office last fall to run for Dumanis’s job — notes that she “worked really hard” to help get Dumanis elected when she first ran for DA in 2002.

Brewer argues that Dumanis’ mayoral quest precluded the DA’s office from prosecuting disgraced ex-San Diego Mayor Bob Filner during last year’s sexual harassment and assault scandal. “The entire district attorney’s office was disqualified from investigating him … (and) infected with her bias against Filner because she spent 17 months running against him and because she endorsed Carl DeMaio,” Brewer said. “Not true,” Dumanis maintained. “Endorsing, by its very nature, does not require you to recuse yourself or not to handle a case. In this particular case … I proactively saw that there was going to be a criminal case, way before it got to be criminal. I called the attorney general’s office and the U.S. attorneys’ office so that we could talk about who the best prosecuting agency and the best police agency would be.” Though San Diego Police would normally work with the district attorney’s office on the case, Dumanis said reports of potential federal charges against Filner made the offices of the U.S. attorney and attorney general seem “a more appropriate agency” to handle the case. “We all decided together that the sheriff, as opposed to San Diego Police Department, would handle the investigation and the attorney general would handle the prosecution,” she said. “We helped with that in terms of giving advice and Mr. Filner was held accountable.” When forming her Public Integrity Unit in 2007 to root out political corruption, Dumanis said she would no longer endorse political candidates. However, she made an exception for races impacting public safety that Brewer said he considers too broad. “Once you make a commitment for no endorsements and then you qualify it, you’re on a slippery slope,” he said, noting that even Dumanis’ habit of endorsing judges could prove problematic. “If that judge gets elected, invariably, (Dumanis) will have employees of hers appearing before that judge. I think the optics of that are terrible.” Dumanis said the DA’s office is not political, and that making endorsements is necessary. “I am in a political office, where I am elected, and whether we like it or not, we have to raise money, as my opponents are, and we have to get endorsements. We also have to endorse if we want to have a leadership role in the

state on what I consider public safety issues,” she said. Dumanis, who also boasts the endorsement of the San Diego Police Chiefs’ and Sheriffs’ Association and the San Diego Deputy District Attorneys Association, said making endorsements helps her office gain a foothold in Sacramento. Following the lead of Sheriff Gore, Dumanis dedicates someone from her office to work on legislative affairs in Sacramento. “We’ve been very effective in getting laws passed and stopping laws that would be bad for public safety,” she said. “It’s about relationships, not politics. … As the district attorney I have created strong relationships in Sacramento, in Washington and in San Diego and those have benefitted the public safety of San Diego.” Dumanis said she believes Brewer’s hard-and-fast noendorsement vow would tie his hands as district attorney. “I’m not sure he’ll be able to get much done. I don’t know of any other DA or any other elected official who does no endorsements,” she said, noting that the state attorney generals and former San Diego County district attorneys Ed Miller and Paul Pfingst also made endorsements. “My opponent (Brewer), who works for a law firm and is taking money from people in law firms, will have a conflict built in there as well … if he takes money from people who may be defense attorneys practicing in criminal cases,” she said. “By the way, it’s the court that makes the decision — if it’s raised — as to whether or not the office should be recused.” Brewer also noted Dumanis’ involvement in an ongoing financial contribution scandal in which the federal government has indicted four people — two of whom worked on Dumanis’ mayoral campaign and one who funneled $200,000 in foreign contributions to an independent expenditure supporting her candidacy. Federal law prohibits foreign nationals from donating to U.S. political campaigns. “There could be an incredible number of state violations in those transactions — money laundering, conspiracy, disclosure,” Brewer said. “Again, her office can’t look at them, because she’s in the middle of them.” The answer, Brewer contends, is a change of leadership. “I’m a firm believer in term limits,” he said. —To read more of this interview, visit lajollalight.com

“When Bonnie first came in, the office was in a very divisive way,” Wyatt recalled. “Bonnie came in and did a really good job at bringing people together, smoothing out kind of the ruffled feelings and brought in some very good leadership models.” However, Wyatt said she watched the district attorney’s office become increasingly politicized under Dumanis’s leadership (a criticism Brewer is also campaigning on), pointing to what she considers inequitable treatment by her office in the South Bay, particularly when it comes to investigations of political figures. Wyatt also points to Dumanis’s decision to prosecute San Diego Police officer Frank White for the shooting and wounding of a woman and her young son during a 2008 roadrage incident. It was the first time in 13 years that a law enforcement officer had

Monroy was transferred to a low-profile job as liaison for the narcotics task force. Wyatt claims other division chiefs who’ve spoken up in similar meetings have faced retaliation and relocation by Dumanis and her deputy DA. “So the message becomes, just keep your mouth shut, go along with the program,” Wyatt said. “All the lawyers feel that they have to be very careful what they say all the time, and that impacts public safety, because you want deputy district attorneys not worrying about politics. You want them concentrating on prosecuting their cases and doing it in the right way.” Wyatt said she was also disappointed when Dumanis decided to run for mayor. “I thought highly of Bonnie … (but) I don’t think our district attorney should be drawing down a

been charged with a crime for shooting someone while acting under the police authority. (White was eventually acquitted). “The Oceanside driver was under the influence of drugs and alcohol,” Wyatt recalled. “It was very controversial within the district attorney’s office as to whether criminal acts occurred, and whether there was enough evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to charge this police officer with using deadly force.” At the time, Wyatt recalled, division chief of the Special Operations unit, Richard Monroy, vocally opposed the decision to file a criminal case against White. “The feeling was that the decision was made for political reasons, that the DA wanted to appear to the public that she’s tough on police officers even, tough on crimes,” Wyatt said. Within months of opposing White’s prosecution,

big salary countywide, from tax dollars, and be spending time out running around in city politics. … The district attorney’s job is supposed to be about seeking and obtaining justice. We are responsible for the most serious criminal activity in this county.” If elected, Wyatt said she wants to shift resources away from trying to rehabilitate adult prison parolees to add additional investigators to the DA’s Elder Abuse unit and Juvenile Branch (where there is currently only investigator apiece). “Once somebody’s already an adult and they’re in and out of the prison system, it’s very difficult to rehabilitate them,” Wyatt said. “Gang conduct starts in junior high and high school. … You don’t want them turning into hardcore gang members. You don’t want them to end up on (a list) of people who are in prison for life.”

Butterflies & Beyond: A moving exhibit comes to Gotthelf Gallery By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt The Butterfly Project was created in 2006 to memorialize the 1.5 million children killed in the Holocaust. This month, in collaboration with the Project, the Jewish Community Center’s Gotthelf Art Gallery in La Jolla invited 24 San Diego artists to explore the theme of transformation and the idea of the butterfly as a metaphor for the human spirit. More than 100 viewers, including most of the artists, filled the gallery at the March 12 opening of “Transformations: Butterflies & Beyond.” Many of the pieces were striking interpretations of the theme, with interesting stories behind them. Shana Lew’s dried-flower sculpture “It All Depends on How You Look at It” began with a book of drawings and poems by Jewish children in the Czech concentration camp, Terezin. One of the poems, “I Never Saw Another Butterfly,” was the inspiration for The Butterfly Project. “I took a teeny drawing from the book and used it as the basis of my piece,” Lew said. Stacy Mann wrote a poem to accompany her watercolor “Flight,” which was pinned to the wall with the kind of pins used for mounting butterflies. “Breathe in,” the poem began. “Transformational in body and blood/Fire and ash rising on the wind...” “I started with lungs, which transformed into wings and became a Holocaust piece,” Mann said, pointing out the

crouching figures in the lower corner of her painting and the smoke rising at the top. In “Chrysalis II,” Cheryl Tall used different types of materials — fired clay, tree branches, and bits of an antique handkerchief — to show the fragility of life and the endurance of the spirit. James Watts enclosed three treasures in “Beauty Within”: a heart and brain made of alabaster and a painted tin brain, each almost life-size, in its own metal container. “I wanted to show that beauty’s on the inside, like a butterfly in a cocoon,” he said. “And this piece is two-thirds of the Wizard of Oz!” Patricia Frischer talked about her “Butterbear”: “I was at Berkeley in the 1960s when we put flowers in the soldiers’ rifles. This guy’s rifle is tipped with a butterfly made of Popsicle sticks, and the whole thing is covered with metal. The figure is a German art deco war piece, and on top there’s a child’s teddy bear being saved by an inner tube. The idea is: You need to be a bear to survive, and you need metal covering for protection.” Sandra Berlin-Kroll said her ceramic “Chrysalis” was actually three chrysalises in one. “One is in the shape of a heart, whose colors go from dark to light. The red is the murdered children, with their halfbroken wings, and the third is a barbed wire form with a butterfly-shaped hole in it.”

JUST IN!!

Artist Shana Lew Photo by Maurice Hewitt

Carol Korfin’s glass-and-metal butterfly tree was one of the first pieces in the show to be sold. “I just started glass art six years ago, after I retired from insurance sales,” she said. “I dabbled in art before then, but after one class in fused glass, I said: ‘That’s it! I’ve found my passion!’ ” In her piece, she explained, “One butterfly repre-

sents the Jews of Israel, the other is the Jews of the Diaspora, and there are 18 Jewish stars — 18 is ‘Chai,’ the symbolic number for life — representing the souls of all the Jewish children who died in the Holocaust.” Vivian Ressler, who with her husband, Jeffrey, co-sponsored the exhibit, showed a watercolor of two girls who died at Auschwitz. “They were my first cousins,” she said. “We have a photo of them. My family left Hungary for Cuba in 1936; my father’s relatives who stayed behind were all killed. I left the painting of these girls unfinished because they never got to finish their lives.” “ Tr a n s f o r m a t i o n s : Butterflies & Beyond” is on view 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday-Friday (closed Saturdays) through May 28 at Gotthelf Art Gallery, Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla, 92037.

Photo/Aaron Rumley and or directed more than 30 productions in San Diego. She is also the founding artistic Director of the Chequamegon Children’s Theatre in Northern Wisconsin. “Jane is a polite and genteel English lady who gardens, and when this elderly Jewish man comes to stay for a while in a very gregarious house, it’s a clash of two temperaments and cultures,” Dukakis said. “I just love Rosina, who is outspoken and feisty and she portrays Jane exceptionally well, especially when Jane is backed against the wall.”

The conflicts are provocative, but there is also some humor. In addition to an entertaining evening, Dukakis believes those leaving the theater will reflect on, “The human drama between two people who are total opposites but who find a common understanding and acceptance of each other.” If you go: “Mandate Memories” is on stage at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, April 10-May 4.

By Diana Saenger History and human drama share the intentions of playwright Lionel Goldstein’s “Mandate Memories,” making its World Premiere at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) in Solana Beach. David Ellenstein, artistic director of NCRT, directed what’s called a two-hander – just two actors play the show. Apollo Dukakis takes on the role of Gustav Frolich, an 80-year-old Jewish Holocaust survivor, who in his youth was a Jewish Freedom Fighter. He has come to England from Israel to call on Jane Stirling. She’s played by Rosina Reynolds. Gustav informs Jane he has something to share with her. She is not too receptive of him since the father she never knew was killed by Jewish terrorists during the days of the British Mandate for Palestine. Brother Apollo and his sister, actor Olympia Dukakis, share a long history in theater. She started a little before Apollo. They lived in Massachusetts, and when she went to New York, he followed a few years later. “This was before regional theaters had come about; there was just Broadway,” Apollo Dukakis said. “Eventually, in the 1960s that changed and we started a theater in New Jersey that lasted 19 years. I would direct her, or she would direct me, or we would act together.” In addition to performing in the Shakespeare and Company in Lenox Mass. as Gonzalo in “The Tempest” and the Chaplain in “Mother Courage,” both opposite his sister, Dukakis is a co-founder and was Associate Artistic Director, actor, and teacher with the Tony-nominated Whole Theater of New Jersey for 15 years. He’s appeared in many productions, TV shows and film, and earned L.A. Drama Critics and Ovation award nominations. Although Dukakis was certainly interested when he received a call from Ellenstein about the role of Gustav, he was also not sure what to expect. “As I started to read the script, I immediately became interested in the events of the play, its history and background,” he said. “Learning about the characters and what they had gone through, and what they wanted from each other, was very moving. I knew I wanted to do it even though it has more dialogue than any play I’d ever done.” Dukakis said he was very impressed with his costar, Reynolds, who has performed

RSF residents mingle with ‘Siren’ cinematographer at San Diego Film Festival 2014 VIP Screening Rancho Santa Fe residents joined the San Diego Film Festival’s patrons and ambassadors to kick off the 2014 VIP Screenings on March 24 at the Arc Light Theaters in La Jolla. VIP guests started the evening with champagne, appetizers and photos on the red carpet before entering the theater for a special viewing of this month’s featured film, “Siren.” Before the screening, guests had the opportunity to mingle and meet the film’s cinematographer, Ross Richardson. “Siren” is a unique, dark, modern-day fairy tale, about a girl with an unusual curse: every man who meets her falls madly in love with her. Following the screening, guests participated in a 20-minute question and answer session with the Richardson and the San Diego Film Festival’s Vice President, Tonya Mantooth. The

next VIP Screening is scheduled for April 14, 2014 and screenings are free to San Diego Film Festival pass holders and patrons. “We are very excited to host our VIP screenings because it offers a chance to meet the creative minds behind a series of outstanding films, ask questions directly and learn about what goes into making a film,” said Dale Strack, chairman, San Diego Film Festival. “We have premiered two Oscar award-winning films for the last two years: ‘Silver Linings Play Book’ and ‘12 Years A Slave’ at the San Diego Film Festival. Our pass holders really have a unique opportunity to see and learn about some of the year’s best films before they are released to the public.” To attend the VIP Screenings and the five-day festival, two levels of passes can be purchased: Festival Pass and VIP Passes.

Classical pianist Umi Garrett to perform at special Community Concerts of RSF event Tickets are on sale now for international piano prodigy Umi Garrett. Umi will be performing April 27 at 3 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center at R. Roger Rowe Middle School. Community Concerts normally has a four-concert series but the opportunity to bring Umi Garrett to Rancho Santa Fe was too good to resist. Umi’s concert is a very special single performance concert for CCRSF at the acoustically wonderful Performing Arts Center at RSF. Umi has been playing piano since the age of 4. In May 2009, 8-year-old Umi Garrett appeared on NBC’s The Ellen DeGeneres Show as her first public broadcast performance. It will probably go down in history as one of the cutest musical performances to ever be televised. Since then, she has been receiving requests to perform worldwide and appearing regularly with symphony orchestras in the U.S. and around the world. She played in RSF with the San Diego Chamber Orchestra when she was 9 years old. Now, at age 13, Umi’s most recent accomplishments in 2012 include winning the first place prizes at The 13th Osaka International Music Competition in Japan, The Chopin International Competition in Budapest, Hungary, and Bradshaw and Buono International Piano Competition in New York. In 2011, Umi was the Grand Prix winner (highest award given) at The Chopin International Competition in Hartford, Conn., and was subsequently invited to perform at Carnegie (Weill) Hall. This concert is made possible as a rather large commu-

Easter Egg Hunt • Petting Zoo Balloon Artist • Photo Booth • Crafts

By Diana Saenger The many mega fans who tune into the hit British TV series “Downton Abbey” Sunday nights prove that poignant dramas about eventful lives are quite entertaining. Such is J.B. Priestley’s period classic “Time and the Conways,” full of sumptuous scenery and classic costume on stage at the Old Globe Theatre through May 4. Globe’s Artistic Director Barry Edelstein is a huge fan of the play and invited Rebecca Taichman to direct this revival, remarking that she is a gifted master of craft “with a real wit and a deep soul.“ Of the script, Taichman said, “I have long been a fan of Priestley’s work and this is a moving story with several elements.” It begins in 1919. The Conway family, at home in their English countryside, consists of a war-widowed mother and six children. The family plays charades and dreams of a bright future, and then the story switches to 1938 by which time Mrs. Conway’s income is spent and her children must face a harsh reality. “Priestley’s idea here was for us to see how we understand time,” Taichman said. “It’s about time fluidity and looking at family through different periods of their

lives. We made some minor edits to the original script, but nothing significant, and the audience will enjoy some different dialects.” The production has a cast of 10 actors with very impressive resumes. “They are all wonderful and whipped into shape quickly,” Taichman said. “I find them playful, open hearted, and they have taught me some things, which is great.” The Conway children include a feckless drunk, would-be novelist, tabloid journalist, utopian reformer and a harassed teacher. Priestley’s intention through their story is to take a look at the driving forces of human existence — love, ambition, and most of all, time — and through them show the seeds of the family’s destruction, but also show that time is an abstract concept containing past, present and future. “I think this play will touch people in different ways,” Taichman said. “It’s deeply moving for people to think how time operates in our lives and that in a spiritual way, grief, and things like our jobs, can come together to engage us. We have a nature core of feelings that are foundational. Life can be mind-boggling, but also full of hope … and if we lose hope, there is still

Knorr Candle Shop to showcase Artisan Marketplace vendors at Spring Fling event April 12 By Diane Y. Welch Tucked away off the main road at 14906 Via de la Valle stands the Knorr Candle Shop. The Del Mar-based business, founded in 1928 by Ferdinand Knorr, is a unique retail store that stocks a myriad of colors, textures and sizes of candles and honeycomb wax sheets. It is also home to the factory where Knorr’s famous dripless 100 percent beeswax candles are artfully created, an enduring craft that has been passed down through three generations. A recent addition to the store is the Artisan Marketplace. Opened in the fall of 2012, it’s an opportunity for local crafts people, artists and artisans to lease space where they may display and sell their merchandise. It’s a symbiotic relationship that has added a new element to the vintage business and one that is helping it compete in the modern market, said Karin Johnston, one of Knorr’s longtime employees. The sales staff take care of the retail transactions and through the website the company helps promote the merchants. To build further awareness, on Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., the candle shop will showcase these vendors in a celebratory Spring Fling event. Free and open to the public, there will be light refreshments and some of the merchants will give demonstrations of their crafts, said Johnston. Jewelry artist Linda Melvin will demonstrate the delicate art of silversmithing; Dennis Wymbs, owner of Eros Galleries, will show how he creates works of art by painting with beeswax; and there will be tasty samplings of Sue Thomas’s jams and jellies, from her business Fruits of my Labor. Eleven local vendors will showcase their products at the event. Other items include hand-made bird boxes, floral arrangements with sculpture, hand-thrown pottery and a variety of candles. Local beekeeper Laurie Decker,

Knorr Candle Shop is located at 14906 Via de la Valle. Courtesy photos owner of California Bee Works, will have jars of her honey for sale alongside her sculptured beeswax creations. Struggling to compete through the difficult recent recession, the business, Knorr Beeswax Products Inc., and the physical property were sold last year. With a long-term lease, the Knorr family is able to stay in the business. Third generation Steve Knorr is now running general operations, with Susan Prickett — who has been with the company over 15 years — employed as store manager. Steve’s father, Henry, recently turned 93 years old. “Every year we make Henry’s favorite food for his

birthday,” said Prickett, “Homemade chicken enchiladas and, of course, a cake from the French Gourmet Bakery.” Henry still helps with the candle machines in the factory and brings in the mail each day, said Prickett. “Most mornings you can hear the sound of a staple gun at 8 a.m. clicking away up at his house, as he still builds all the bee boxes that we sell to bee keepers.” Knorr candles are a result of the industrious efforts of thousands of bees. According to the Knorr Beeswax website, 160,000 bees must travel 150,000 miles to collect the necessary nectar to produce 60 pounds of

honey that yields only one pound of beeswax. When the candles were first developed they were initially sold to local gift shops, but now the factory produces more than 1 million candles each year and is a global business, said Johnston, who has been with the family business since 1978 when Henry was in charge. The current success is largely due to the collective team effort of family, staff and local vendors. “With our combined skills and ideas it all works. I think the arrangement will take us into a more stable future,” Johnston said. Visit www.knorrbeeswax.com or call 858-755-2051.

By Karen Billing An artisan jewelry maker who plays on the ordinary beauty of the penny; a former Canyon Crest Academy art teacher who makes textile masterpieces; a young father who found a way to repurpose his son’s baby food jars into a full-time gig; a handful of shop owners and artisans who treasure the local and unique, both the traditional and the eclectic: This is the Row Collective at Flower Hill Promenade. As part of its renovation over the last year, Flower Hill has carved out a part of the bottom floor of the center to serve as the Row. The management’s mission has been to find vendors with a certain type of vibe for this “artisan and curated” section of the mall. “It’s nice to have like-minded people in this space,” said Julie Rais, the former San Dieguito Union High School District art teacher turned-owner of Rais Case. The Row is made up of the stores Lone Flag, Van De Vort, Rais Case and Mr. B’s Luminaries. Three new stores have joined them and opened this month: Studio Penny Lane, Pink Soul and A Ship in the Woods’ WSOHOIDPS. The Row stores are connected by an open patio filled with wooden tables and seating areas with string lights dangling from the level above, book-ended by Sea and Smoke’s outdoor patio and a few empty storefronts for future Row denizens. Pink Soul opened its doors officially over the weekend, although owner Heidi Lund was making sales even while she set up shop, a “perfect” little location with wood floors and an eye-catching light fixture as a centerpiece, a flea market find that was given new life by a coat of hot pink paint. “I need pink,” Lund said. Lund specializes in yoga gear and “fancy loungewear” as well as unique accessories at a variety of price points. She likes to stock her store with the funky and the local, you can find Mia Brazzilia workout wear designed by local martial arts instructor Kaneta Harmon and local designer Ashley Ann Bennett’s leather painted earrings and cuff bracelets. The Flower Hill store is Lund’s second location with the first Pink Soul on High-

way 101 in Encinitas. “I had looked at the mall before but I thought it was old and tired,” Lund said of the pre-facelift Flower Hill. “I saw the changes that were taking place and I really like what’s going on with the center. I think it’s going to be a fun, happening type of place.” Studio Penny Lane had its soft opening on March 25, with a grand opening planned sometime in May. Owner Laurie Libman-Wilson said her focus lately with her three-year-old business has been more on wholesale, she jumped on the opportunity to move into Flower Hill. “It’s just become such a great place that I couldn’t pass it up,” Libman-Wilson said. She was impressed by all of the renovations, the addition of Whole Foods as an anchor and the popular draw of the Cucina Enoteca restaurant and what they are trying to do with the Row section she will be in. “It’s going to be a cool little enclave of stores there, I’m really excited for it,” said Libman-Wilson. Libman-Wilson used to have a retail space on Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach, but she hopes her Flower Hill spot will be more of a workshop. “I won’t run any of my wholesale business out of there, I will probably do things like letting people be involved in the process of creating a piece,” LibmanWilson said. One of her most popular items right now is her gratitude apothecary jars that promote a daily practice of gratitude. “Every time you see a penny, acknowledge something you’re grateful for,” said Libman-Wilson. As it says on the jar: “A life lived in gratitude is a quiet joy.” A Ship in the Woods opened recently, moving from a residential home in the hills of Del Mar. Its name at Flower Hill is WSOHOIDPS, a word puzzle where the words A Ship in the Woods all appear. The founders, Kiersten Puusemp, RJ Brooks and Dan Fauchier, are all artists and creators. Puusemp works in installation, mixed media and performance; Brooks has a background in film studies and photography; and Fauchier is a pro-

Wild for Life Foundation benefit held at local estate

ild for Life Foundation’s “Charity Spring Benefit Wine Tasting Reception” was held March 29 at a local estate. The festivities were hosted by Lisa and Scott Harris. Titled “Celebrating Life, Horses and Healing and Honoring our Veterans,” the event’s honorary co-chair was actor Ken Wahl, who is best known for his Golden Globe award-winning lead role in the hit television series “Wiseguy.” Sean Kelly, a popular standup comedian and a Desert Storm veteran, was the event’s emcee and auctioneer. Other guests included wildlife ecologist and wild horse expert Craig Downer, members of the horse and entertainment industry, Native American council members, U.S. governmental representatives, and more. In addition, active and retired military from Camp Pendleton involved in the program attended the event. World-renowned tenor Anthony Kearns was the featured entertainer at the event. Funds raised at the event will benefit Wild for Life Foundation’s Equine Sanctuary Center in North County, which “provides programs where people and horses are partners in healing and therapeutic relationships.” Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity dedicated to protecting, saving and preserving wild and domestic equines.

RSF Community Concert Outreach at The Cambridge School: Music and Mandarin take Center Stage As part of its mission in serving the community, Rancho Santa Fe Community Concerts is committed to bringing music education and unique musical experiences into local schools. In accordance with that outreach philosophy, international virtuosos Yang and Olivia Liu met with students at The Cambridge School* prior to their March 21 Community Concerts program. After a brief introduction by Head of School Jean Kim, the Lius began by talking with the students about the importance of music in their lives and then introduced Yangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful 372-year-old Guarneri violin. When asked how many of the students liked classical music, virtually everyone raised their hands. The introduction continued in Mandarin, with some dialog with second- and third-graders who had joined them on stage. Yang then tested the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; musical knowledge by playing brief excerpts of classical music and then asking for the name of the work and/or the composer. The format is similar to that used in the Music Memory program, established in San Diego by the late Frances Hunter. Here the students, who consistently earn firstplace awards in the city-wide competition, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint. The second- and thirdgraders quickly identified Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fifth Symphony after hearing only the first four notes. The entire student body over-

came some initial shyness and proceeded to identify Debussyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clair de Lune, and Vivaldiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring from the Four Seasons. After he and Olivia played an excerpt from the first movement of CĂŠsar Franckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sonata for Violin and Piano, Yang asked the students, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you feel when you hear this music?â&#x20AC;? Thus began a lively discussion about what a composer may intend for his audience, and how they (the audience) may actually interpret it. The students responded to his first question with such words as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;peace,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;joy,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;optimism.â&#x20AC;? Similarly, they cited â&#x20AC;&#x153;excitementâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;motionâ&#x20AC;? after an excerpt from the second movement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;fearâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;dangerâ&#x20AC;? after the third, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;brightnessâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;hopeâ&#x20AC;? after the fourth movement. These impressions seemed remarkably perceptive for this young audience after Yang told the students that Arturo Toscanini had characterized those same four movements as signifying â&#x20AC;&#x153;birth,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;life,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;death,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;rebirth.â&#x20AC;? The Lius closed their program by playing Brahmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hungarian Dance No. 5 and, sensing that the younger children might appreciate an opportunity to interact with the music, Yang invited them to â&#x20AC;&#x153;move in time to the music.â&#x20AC;? This they did with gusto, bringing a rich musical experience to a spirited close. The kids wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t soon forget this virtuo-
