Two veteran politicians vie for County Board of Supervisors seat By Joe Tash Voters have a choice between two veteran politicians — both Republicans — in the June 3 election for the 5th District seat on the County Board of Supervisors. Incumbent Supervisor Bill Horn, 71, a Valley Center resident, is seeking his sixth and final fouryear term on the board. He is prohibited from running again due to term limits approved by county voters in 2010. His challenger is Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood, 66, who is serving his third term, and previously worked as an Oceanside police officer for 30 years. “I have a couple of projects I’d like to finish. Besides, I don’t play golf,” said Horn, explaining why he is running for one more term.

As for Wood, he said, “Certainly I’ve got public service in my blood.” The 5th supervisorial district stretches from the North County coastline east to Borrego Springs. It includes the cities of Oceanside, Bill Horn Vista, Carlsbad and San Marcos, along with Rancho Santa Fe. County supervisors earn an annual salary of $145,033. While both men belong to the

GOP, Horn has often sided over the years with development and landowner interests. One example was in 2010, when he was on the losing end of a 3-2 vote that rejected a proposed 2,700-home development north of Escondido called MerJim Wood riam Mountain. A year later, his was the lone vote against a long-awaited update of the county’s land-use blueprint. At the time, he objected to provisions in the new general plan that

“down-zoned” land in the back country, meaning fewer homes could be built on it. Wood, on the other hand, draws support from labor groups that are actively working against Horn’s re-election. For this year’s race, Service Employees International Union Local 221 has formed a political action committee named “Citizens Against Career Insider Politician Bill Horn for Supervisor 2014.” As of April 23, the group’s latest filing, it reported spending $20,875 on canvassing and phone banks. “Basically, (people) say there’s no representation for them and (Horn) is only interested in special See COUNTY, Page AA3

Two students at RSF School suspended for marijuana possession By Joe Tash Two middle school students at R. Roger Rowe School in Rancho Santa Fe have been suspended after being caught with a small amount of marijuana and paraphernalia on campus, school, Sheriff’s Department officials said. The incident occurred April 18 and involved two boys, one each in 7th and 8 grades, said Capt. Theresa Adams-Hydar, who recently took over as head of the Sheriff’s Department station in Encinitas. The students were not identified because they are minors. School officials initially discovered the students in possession of marijuana and called the Sheriff’s Department, said Adams-Hydar. The two students were arrested for simple possession of marijuana and released to their parents. The case will be handled in juvenile court, she said. The disciplinary action taken by the school was in accordance with the state Education Code and rules established by the Rancho Santa Fe School District governing board, said Cindy Schaub, acting superintendent during a medical leave by Superintendent Lindy Delaney. The incident was an extremely rare occurrence on campus, said Schaub, and that it was the first time she could recall students being caught with marijuana during her 10 years with the district. “There’s no indication this is a trend or widespread. It is an isolated incident,” Schaub said. Schaub said the district did not notify parents about the incident because it was determined, both by school officials and the Sheriff’s Department, that the safety of students was not affected. She said it is not common for the Rancho Santa Fe district, or other districts, to notify parents of such a disciplinary action. “If this was a school safety issue, we definitely would have informed our public,” Schaub said. Each year, the school holds a number of events during Red Ribbon week, to encourage healthy activities and discourage drug and alcohol use and smoking, she said. While school officials don’t believe there is any widespread drug problem on campus, Schaub said, “given that this happened, we will be even more diligent and watchful from this point forward.”

Del Mar Highlands Town Center to add parking structure, expand Cinepolis • Barnes & Noble set to close in July By Kristina Houck and Karen Billing To improve parking at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, a new parking structure is set to open by late 2015. Plans for the construction of the structure, as well as plans to expand Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas and renovate the south side of the shopping center, were unveiled during the April 24 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting. All but one of the center’s businesses will remain open during construction, which is set to begin in the fall. Most of the businesses

impacted by construction will be moved to temporary locations, but Barnes & Noble will close its doors when the store’s lease expires in July, according to Elizabeth Schreiber, vice president and general manager for Donahue Schriber, owner and operator of Del Mar Highlands Town Center. “We would love to have them come back when we finish this work,” said Schreiber, who noted the center doesn’t have another space to temporarily relocate the 11,000-square-foot store. “Who knows what the book business will be like by that time, but we’d love to have Barnes & Noble or any bookstore come back to the shopping center.” See HIGHLANDS, Page AA3

Scripps Encinitas Gala

he Scripps Encinitas Gala fundraiser was held April 26, with proceeds going to benefit the hospital expansion project at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. The event took place outside the hospital, and included a cocktail reception and tours of the new ER. Marking its 50th anniversary in April 2014, Scripps Encinitas is in the midst of the largest expansion in its history. Scripps is now twothirds of the way toward its $58 million philanthropy goal for expansion (having raised $39 million and needing another $19 million). In addition to philanthropy, Scripps is funding the expansion via borrowing and operating margin. Scripps Encinitas hosted the Encinitas Gala to celebrate the 50th anniversary and to help with current fundraising efforts for the expansion. The centerpiece of the current expansion is the Critical Care Building. The 61,643-squarefoot facility will house a 27-bed emergency department on the first floor, which will more than double the size of the current ER. The second floor will include 36 medical-surgical beds for patients recovering from surgery or acute illness. The new building will triple the current number of ambulance bay at the hospital, from two to six. The expansion also calls for the acquisition of new medical technology and the addition of two new surgical suites in the existing hospital building. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview. com.

TPHS student earns prestigious World Food Prize International Internship Nearly 1 billion people go hungry every day. As the world faces a growing population, climate volatility and other global challenges, the next generation will be charged with continuing the battle against hunger and finding new solutions to feed the world. This summer, an unprecedented number of American high school students – 23 students from 12 states — have earned World Food Prize BorlaugRuan International Internships and will delve into issues relating to hunger and poverty throughout the world during eight-week, all-expenses-paid summer internships at leading research centers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Eric Chen, a junior at Torrey Pines High School, is one of the 23 students who has earned an internship and will travel to Brazil this summer to work at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) in Londrina. “It is our hope that by engaging these young people in actual hunger-fighting research, they will be

interest friends in the development world and people from out of the area, that’s where he gets his money. He wants to build anywhere where there’s a piece of dirt,” said Wood. Horn said that in his last reelection bid, a local union spent $170,000 on an unsuccessful bid to unseat him. While he doesn’t begrudge employees’ rights to form unions, he doesn’t believe they should be “in control” of elected officials. “I know the union wants to get rid of me,” Horn said. “It didn’t work last time and I hope it doesn’t work this time.” Horn appears to enjoy a significant fundraising lead, at least as of March 17, the latest reporting deadline. The incumbent’s campaign had raised $234,460 for his re-election bid, compared to the challenger’s $53,135.

Both men accuse the other of distorting facts. For example, Horn said Wood has incorrectly stated that Horn supported the Gregory Canyon landfill, a controversial project proposed for east of Interstate 15. “He says I’m for Gregory Canyon. I’ve been against Gregory Canyon since the day it was initiated,” said Horn. However, Horn said public votes in favor of the landfill project have taken the matter out of the Board of Supervisors’ hands. “I’m not fighting phantoms here.” Wood called Horn’s denial of supporting the landfill, “bull.” “He’s on record, written record… that he supported the Gregory Canyon landfill,” said Wood. Another area of difference between the two men is their support, or lack thereof, by the Republican Party in San Diego.

Most Republican establishment officials, including North County mayors, support Horn. But Wood touts himself as a moderate who apparently doesn’t appeal to “right-wing” Republicans such as Horn. Many people are also put off by Horn’s style, said Wood, which some in the press have referred to as bullying. Elected officials have also privately told him that if they supported Wood, they feared retaliation from Horn, Wood said. On the Oceanside City Council, Wood often sides with Councilwoman Esther Sanchez, a Democrat, on the losing end of 3-2 votes. “He’s not used to dealing with a Marine, that’s all,” said Horn, regarding Wood’s bullying allegations. “In the Corps you’re taught to tell the truth or people die. So that’s just my nature.”

Horn said among the projects he’d like to see to completion are a proposed extension of the runway at county-owned McClellan Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, which he said would increase the range of corporate jets that could take off there, and also allow quieter jets to use the facility. Another big project, he said, is bringing a train station to Camp Pendleton to connect the base, and those who work there, to residential communities to the north and south. “I like getting things done,” said Horn. But he questioned Wood’s record of accomplishment. “What has he done in 12 years? All I’ve seen in Oceanside is chaos.” Horn pointed to what he said is the county’s strong financial position, evidenced by Triple A credit and bond ratings.

“Those things don’t happen by random chance. I think we’ve been very good stewards of the taxpayers’ money,” he said. Wood countered that he’s done plenty during his tenure as mayor and councilman. “Oceanside’s booming, no doubt about it,” he said. “When I got into office as mayor, my priority was to change Oceanside’s image from a crime-ridden military town from the ‘60s and ‘70s. I think you’ve seen that’s happened,” he said. Wood said he appeals to voters from a variety of political and ethnic backgrounds. “I’m very happy I get support from Democrats, Republicans and independents. That’s what makes a city, not one group,” he said.

RSF resident’s company horse to run in the Kentucky Derby By Julie Sarno A passionate devotion to Thoroughbred racing and a little bit of luck have put Aron Wellman at the pinnacle of the sport less than three years after founding Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. On Saturday, May 3, plans call for Eclipse-owned Danza to run in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Wellman founded Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners in August of 2011. He is president of the company which buys horses and puts together ownership groups. Located in Del Mar, Eclipse also has offices in Springboro, Ohio, where Lee Midkiff, co-founder and Chairman of Eclipse, is based, and Aiken, South Carolina. This is not Wellman’s first trip to the Kentucky Derby. In 2011, as vice president of Team Valor, Wellman was at Churchill Downs when Animal Kingdom won the Run for the Roses. Owned by Team Valor, Animal Kingdom finished second in the Preakness and sixth in the Belmont, the other legs of racing’s Triple Crown. Shortly after, Wellman struck out on his own. Though a younglooking 36, Wellman already has spent a lifetime at the racetrack. His family spent summer vacations in Del Mar where they still own a condominium. Wellman’s parents bred and owned Thoroughbreds. His father, Michael, was friends with Hall of Fame jockey Bill Shoemaker who, upon retiring from the saddle, became a trainer. As a child, Wellman spent summers mucking

As Wellman grew and became stronger, he was permitted to walk hots (cooling out hot horses after exercise). Then he became a groom – anything to be around the racetrack and the horses he loved. After graduating from University of California at Santa Barbara, Wellman went to Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. He became a litigator and lived in Los Angeles and worked in Orange County. Finally, the siren call of the track became too strong and he went to work for Team Valor, founded by Barry Irwin. With his knowledge and law degree, Wellman advanced quickly. When he left Team Valor and founded Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, his goal was to allow participants to experience racing at the highest level, in graded stakes races. “We want to be Saturday players,” said Wellman. “And the ultimate Saturday is the first Saturday in May.” On the first Saturday in May, Eclipse hopes to have Danza in the Derby and as many as four other runners competing in major races at Churchill Downs. Capo Bastone, a veteran campaigner in California and on the East Coast is aiming for the G2 Churchill Downs and Craftsman for the $250,000 G2 American Turf. Bajan is pointing for the G3 Eight Belles and No Surrender for an allowance race. Stable star Danza was sired by Street Boss. The colt was named for actor Tony Danza, best known for his role in the sitcom “Who’s the Boss?”, which ran from 198492. Danza was purchased as a yearling for $105,000 at the Keeneland September yearling sale in Lexington, Kentucky. At the time, the amount was more than twice what Wellman had paid for his other yearling purchases. Wellman sent the colt to Ocala, Florida, for early preparation and then to New York to trainer Todd Pletcher. Danza broke his maiden in his first start, July 12, 2013, at Belmont Park. A month later, he was 3rd in the G2 Saratoga Special. Danza finished third in an allowance race before surprising as the 41-1 longshot winner of the

$1 Million Arkansas Derby, a G1 race and key prep race for Kentucky Derby hopefuls. Danza has two wins from four career starts and earnings of $666,428. “We were hoping that Danza would outrun his odds and prove that he could compete,” said Wellman from his Del Mar office. Instead the colt dominated the eight-horse field and won by 4 3/4 lengths. Danza was shipped to Churchill Downs to acclimate and train the day after the Arkansas Derby. Jockey Joe Bravo again will handle the riding assignment. Eclipse currently has 35 horses. Wellman selects all the horses aided by longtime friend and mentor Eddie Delahoussaye, a retired Hall of Fame jockey. Wellman noted, “We both look at yearlings, but at the end of the day all of the acquisitions are on my shoulders. We work distinct from one another but it’s always good to have Eddie’s stamp of approval.” California runners are trained by Paddy Gallagher, former assistant to Shoemaker and mentor to Wellman. Trainers Simon Callaghan, Marty Jones and Michael McCarthy also train for Eclipse. Two-yearolds are with McCarthy, who is training in California after being the primary assistant to Pletcher on the See DERBY, page A26

By Karen Billing The votes on the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Garden Club purchase will be counted on May 6. The membertriggered election has featured a fair amount of campaigning on both sides of the issue, one of the most talked-about being a FedEx mailer in opposition of the sale. At the last RSF Association board meeting on April 17, some Garden Club members questioned the FedEx delivery of the anti-Garden Club purchase materials as well as it contents, with Garden Club President Helen DiZio asking RSF Association Director Craig McAllister how he could sign a letter that she felt was “11 pages full of lies.” The authors of the anti-Garden Club purchase package that was sent via FedEx, Mike Licosati and Alex Kaiser, have spoken out that they felt their package simply included important information members needed for the vote. “I took affront to (DiZio’s comment) because I don’t think there was 11 pages of lies in that letter,” Kaiser said. While Director McAllister did acknowledge one inaccuracy in the mailer regarding the pool and fitness center, Licosati said that is just one, not 11 pages full of inaccuracies. At Licosati and Kaiser’s request, DiZio went through the mailer and highlighted all of the statements she felt were misleading or damaging and found at least one on every page. Kaiser and Licosati also defended their decision to go the FedEx route, sending to members’ private home addresses — they did not want to mail through the Association to avoid what happened with a previous mailer. In March, resident Nick Krnich wanted to increase voter registration and raise awareness about the upcoming elections and said he requested that the Association distribute a letter to members. Krnich said the mailer was held up for two weeks and the Association attached a disclaimer that stated facts in Krnich’s letter were incorrect, as well as stating that the voter registration website the mailer directed residents to was not affiliated with the Association. A mailer in favor of the Garden Club purchase was also included in a disclaimer notice, but Licosati said it was not the same. “The reason we went with FedEx was because on the original mailer, they put a huge disclaimer that they couldn’t verify the accuracy of the letter. There were massive alterations to the standard disclaimer and HOAs aren’t allowed to alter a member’s message,” Licosati said. Licosati said that, according to California Civil Code Section 5105, a homeowners association may send communications on behalf of its members and can include a statement that it is not responsible for the content, but “shall not edit or redact any content from these communications.” Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler informed Krnich that they do not edit member mailings but his was unusual in that he created his own website for voter registration. Holler said he worked with Association counsel to See DEBATE, page A12

RSF philanthropists visit Rwanda Rancho Santa Fe philanthropists Harry Leibowitz and Kay Isaacson-Leibowitz have just returned from Rwanda where they joined international dignitaries – including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, and Rwandan President Paul Kagame – at the 20th Anniversary Commemoration of the Rwandan Genocide. “The genocide cost the lives of almost 1 million Rwandans at the hands of Hutu militia groups in just 100 days of incredible violence,” Kay said. The genocide began on April 7, 1994 ostensibly in reaction to the shooting down of an airplane carrying the President of Rwanda and the President of Burundi the prior day. However, this was just the final ignition of a long-simmering hatred of Tutsis by Hutus. As in so many such sit-

uations, the aftermath left more than 10 percent of the population as child orphans, and, unfortunately, the response to this disaster was slow in coming. “Today, it is a hard life for children in Rwanda, made even harder by the fact that more than 40 percent of the population is 14 and under, which puts tremendous strain on the educational system,” Harry said. “Children as young as 5 and 6 years old can be seen walking by the roadside carrying large loads of firewood on their heads, or jerry cans of water in their hands. They live in miserable conditions with no running water, no sanitary facilities and sleep three and four to a bed.” Nevertheless, Rwanda’s young population is rising to the challenge to build a better future for themselves, their communities and their country. “In spite of the difficulty of their lives the children we met and saw were See RWANDA, page A26

MAY 1, 2014 - RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW

New documentary reveals how rock and roll music helped end the Cold War By Joe Tash Valery Saifudinov clearly remembers his first exposure to rock and roll music. He was 10 years old and walking down the street in his native Riga, Latvia (then part of the former Soviet Union) when he heard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock Around the Clock,â&#x20AC;? by Bill Haley & His Comets blaring from a window. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was standing there and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move,â&#x20AC;? said Saifudinov. That was around 1960. Just a couple of years later, Saifudinov, now 63, and an Escondido resident, launched what one Russian rock critic has called the first Soviet-era rock band, The Revengers. Later this year, a documentary called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free to Rock,â&#x20AC;? will be released, which tells the story of Saifudinov and his early efforts to play rock and roll music in spite of a government ban. The documentary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which Saifudinov conceived with Del Mar musician and venture capitalist Nick Binkley, founder of PSB Records, and a third friend, Doug Yeager â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also makes the case that rock and roll helped end the Cold War and hasten the downfall of the Soviet Union. A clip from the film will be shown May 6 at a CD release party at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. The party will celebrate releases by Saifudinovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band, Elektrik Tank, Binkley (100 Parts of Heart) and Mark Hart. The event begins at 8 p.m. (with doors opening at 7 p.m.). Rock and roll records could not be sold in stores or played on the radio in the Soviet Union of the early 1960s, but Saifudinov and other youth were able to trade for vinyl discs with sailors who visited Rigaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s port. They also listened to pirate radio stations, Saifudinov said.

Courtesy photo â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effective polity of the Ministry of Culture of the Soviet Union was no rock and roll,â&#x20AC;? said Binkley, 68, who co-produced the documentary along with the director, Jim Brown, who is based in New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They discovered that kids were learning English by listening to and playing rock and roll.â&#x20AC;? That was a problem, because Soviet officials wanted the entire Soviet Union to speak only Russian as the official language. Rock music also became a form of â&#x20AC;&#x153;soft powerâ&#x20AC;? in

subsequent decades, which helped change the hearts and minds of Soviet citizens, and erode the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control of the population, Binkley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe rock and roll infected the youth of the Soviet Union and it spread like a virus,â&#x20AC;? Binkley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no going back.â&#x20AC;? The two men spoke in the control room of Saifudinovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Escondido recording studio, which he has run since the mid-90s. Although authorities tried to quash rock and roll music, enterprising youth used their ingenuity to circumvent the ban. Young people exchanged â&#x20AC;&#x153;bone records,â&#x20AC;? which were recordings made on used X-ray film that would only play four or five times before wearing out. They also made electric guitars using plywood, old acoustic guitar necks, and pickups made from parts purloined from public telephones. The practice was so widespread that in major cities such as Moscow and Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), it was difficult to find a working pay phone, Saifudinov said. Saifudinov said the band made a bass guitar using piano strings that were so rough, they caused the bass playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finger tips to bleed, until he taped up his fingers. By the mid-1970s, Saifudinov had had enough of Soviet repression of his chosen art form, and he emigrated to the U.S. The documentary, which was originally called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the Kremlin,â&#x20AC;? features a number of prominent politicians and musicians from both the U.S. and former Soviet Union, including Mikhail Gorbachev and Jimmy Carter, Billy Joel, the Beach Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mike Love and Andrey MakarevSee DOCUMENTARY, page A26

By Jared Kuritz and Antoinette Kuritz John Lescroart (pronounced “less-kwah”) is a big believer in hard work and single-minded dedication, although he’ll acknowledge that a little luck never hurts. A New York Times bestselling author whose books have been translated into 16 languages in more than 75 countries, Lescroart wrote his first novel in college and the second one a year after he graduated from Cal Berkeley in 1970. He didn’t even try to publish either of these books until 14 years later, when finally, at his wife Lisa’s urging, he submitted “Son of Holmes” to New York publishers — and got two offers, one in hardcover, within six weeks. Lescroart never looked back, and with 18 New York Times bestsellers to his credit, he continues to write novels with char-

John Lescroart acters readers want to know more about and stories that compel readers to keep the pages turning. You can meet Lescroart and hear him talk about writing and his new novel, The Keeper, at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore at noon on Saturday, May 10 (7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., Suite #302, San Diego, CA 92111; 858-268-4747). Lescroart recently took the time to chat about the art, craft, and business of writing. When did you know

you wanted to be a writer, and then when did you actually start writing? I knew that I wanted to be a writer, in a general kid-like way, from about the 8th grade, when my teacher sent one of my homework assignments – “What Is Democracy?” – to the local newspaper and they published it. I thought it was one of the coolest things in the world. Shortly after that, I started a “newspaper” called “The Daily Blab,” chronicling the goings-on of my friends in high school. So I was writing pretty regularly just for fun all during high school. Then as a junior at Cal Berkeley, I wrote my first novel, and just after I graduated I wrote another one, a Sherlock Holmes pastiche that I called “Recipe for Murder,” but which Donald I. Fine published a mere 14 years later, when I was 36 years old, as “Son of Holmes.” Since then, I’ve been coming out with

about a book a year. Thriller, suspense, mystery. People often confuse the three. In which genre would you place your books and why? Actually, these labels overlap tremendously. To me, they are mostly tools for publishers (and authors) to market books. In a general sense, I do think that suspense isn’t really its own genre, since every book that makes you want to turn the page has an element of suspense. The main difference between thriller and mystery is that, while mysteries can be and often are thrilling, there doesn’t have to be a “who-dunnit” element to thrillers. How did you chose your genre – or did it chose you? I just kept trying new things until something paid off. My first novel was “literary.” Then I wrote the two “Holmes” books. Then I wrote two straightahead mysteries featuring

Dismas Hardy. That’s five publications with total sales of about 95 or 100 books, which really didn’t pay the bills. Obviously, something had to change, and fortunately I had created Dismas Hardy as an ex-lawyer. So I brought him back to the law in a “legal thriller”/”courtroom drama” and the rest is history. So I’d have to say, my genre chose me, and I’m very glad that it did. I know you wrote second shift at the beginning of your career. How many published books did you have before you could write full time? Second shift? Try fourth shift? Even after I was publishing regularly, my daily workload included getting up at 6:30 a.m. and writing for two hours in my garage. (We had babies, and working in the house with Barney the Dinosaur on in the other room wasn’t very conducive to concentra-

tion.) Then I worked fulltime as a word processor in a law firm, after which I went around to the other law firms in downtown LA and did pick-up typing and word processing until 10:30 or 11 p.m. I only did that for six years, publishing my second through fourth books. Then, after an 11-day coma due to spinal meningitis, we moved to Northern California, and I wrote three more novels before I had a hit and was able to write full-time. So, short answer – seven books until overnight success. So often friends, family, spouses of aspiring authors don’t take them seriously, considering writing a mere hobby. What is your response to that? My answer is that the proof is in the pudding. If you’re putting in the hours, doing the work, and producing product, you’re a writer. If you’re lucky and you start actually making

2014 Boston Marathon an inspirational experience local runners will never forget By Karen Billing A total of 40 local athletes from Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach competed in this year’s Boston Marathon, by all accounts a magical, inspirational race where Boston came roaring back stronger than ever after last year’s bombing in which three people were killed, hundreds injured and 16 people lost limbs. For the first time since 1983 an American man won the race and he just happened to be San Diego’s own Meb Keflezighi. The fastest local male finisher was 33-year-old Todd Brehm of Del Mar who raced his first Boston in 2:55:33. The fastest local female was just a hair off Brehm’s time —Carmel Valley’s Angela Moll, 37, finished in 2:55:44 and cracked the top 100 finishers in her gender and division. Moll was the 76th in her age division and 90th in her gender. The youngest participants were 29-year-old Del Mar resident Jessica Sebor who finished in 3:18:13 and 29-year-

Rancho Santa Fe marathoner Dan Minteer at the Boylston Street finish line the day before the race. Courtesy photo old Rory Golden of Carmel Valley, who got in under-three hours with a time of 2:57:08. Bob Hubbard of Solana Beach was the oldest local participant. At age 71, he completed his 10th Boston Marathon and of the 31,805 people who finished the marathon this year, Hubbard was one of only 298 participants that were over the age of 70. Last year Hubbard was at mile 23 when he was halted on the course due to the bombings. His most immediate concern was the safety of his wife, Marilee, who had been waiting for him near the finish. “The biggest problem and source of anxiety was the inability to communicate to verify each other’s safety,” Hubbard said. Hubbard is also a triathlete and he likes to use Boston as a way to begin preparing for the competitive triathlon season (he will compete in the World Duathlon Championships in Spain on June 1). It has become tradition for him to participate. “Every year is different at Boston and there is always the unexpected. I have run in perfect as well as extreme weather conditions, including heat waves of 95 degrees and heavy rain storms,” Hubbard said. Last year’s challenge was unexpected for all involved. To find his wife, Hubbard had to parallel the course working back to the finish area to a restaurant where he had planned to meet up with Marilee and others for a post-race celebration. By the time he eventually reached her, he had covered about 30 miles that day. “A few members of our group who were near the explosion received some minor scratches but nothing serious.” Hubbard said. “All have experiences that they will not soon forget.” “I will never forget walking back to my hotel immediately after finishing the race this year,” said Craig Zelent of Carlsbad, who trains with Hubbard and completed his 12th Boston Marathon and his wife, Laurie, her completed her 18th Boston Marathon. “I listened. I heard all the sounds that should be heard after the race. I heard no sirens. It was just about the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.” Carmel Valley’s Deanna Lyle, 47, was also kept from finishing last year — as she was making the final turn on

Boylston Street, .3 miles from the finish she saw police officers running at her telling her she needed to stop. “I heard the bombs go off but didn’t know what they were,” Lyle said. “It was really crazy with people running and screaming to get out of the area.” It was really important for Lyle to come back this year and finish the event that she wasn’t able to last year. Her co-worker at the Rush Studio in Carmel Valley, Sheri Matthews had already qualified for 2014 and Lyle was determined to get there too, holding a charity spin class to benefit the Boston Fund for Challenged Athletes Foundation, helping to purchase a running leg for a bombing victim. Both crossed the finish line last week, pushed by the spirit and support of the crowd. “This was my third time running the Boston Marathon and by far the best time ever,” said Lyle. “I was overcome with emotion when I crossed the finish line this year.” ***** Last year Jessica Sebor had finished her first Boston Marathon and was recovering in her hotel room when the blast occurred. “I remember hearing a loud sound but I assumed it was nothing serious, scaffolding falling perhaps,” Sebor said. “When I heard what happened I immediately tried to locate my friends and colleagues who were running and watching. The hotels went on lockdown, cell phones didn’t work and everyone was in shock as we tried to piece together what had happened.” Sebor, who is the editor-in-chief of Women’s Running Magazine, re-qualified for the race at Boston and hadn’t planned on returning but after the tragedy she knew she had to go back to support the sport and the city she loves. She was glad that she did — it was an emotional experience that she said she is still trying to fully grasp. “There were easily twice the spectators as normal and the crowds cheered like it was their job,” Sebor said. The city came alive again — little girls handed out blue and yellow friendship bracelets, frat guys passed out beers, and families with homes on the course offered water and orange slices. “This race wasn’t just about the runners, it was a true community effort, a show of strength,” Sebor said. “My friend, who was near the finish line last year, said the crowds were so loud she was sure her ears hadn’t rang in the same way since she heard the explosions in 2013. I think that’s a really beautiful parallel to show how the city of runners fought back.” ***** Carmel Valley’s Randy Rechs, 45, completed his fourth Boston Marathon this year as part of Team Hoyt, the father-son team of Dick and Rick Hoyt. Since 1977, Dick has pushed his son, Rick, who has cerebral palsy, in a wheelchair through 1,100 athletic events and more than 30 Boston Marathons. Last year was supposed to be Dick’s last Boston Marathon, as he neared age 74 and Rick was age 52, but they never got the chance to finish due to the bombings. Rechs had traveled to Boston last year to support his team but was unable to run the race due to an injury. Fifteen minutes before his plane landed in San Diego, the bombs went off and he watched the reports on CNN on his plane’s TV. “Twenty-five of my dearest friends were in that grandstand area where I was supposed to be,” said Rechs, who had left on Marathon Monday to get home to coach his daughter’s softball team.

help prepare language in the disclaimer. “We clarified some of the facts and that the web site mentioned in the letter was a third party web site and not affiliated with the RSF Association,” Holler said. The Association’s executive committee reviewed the other clarifications; Krnich said he had wanted the opportunity to make the clarifications himself. The FedEx method allowed the opposition to avoid the disclaimer and any potential edits. “It got people’s attention,” Kaiser said of the FedEx decision. “And it prompted a large number of new residents to go get registered.” The opposition feels that the purchase is “an enormous waste” of Association money that adds nothing to the value of the Covenant and uses resources that would be far better used elsewhere. Licosati said he is not against the Garden Club. “The Garden Club is great, we love the Garden Club. We just don’t want to buy an outdated, overpriced building,” Licosati said. “The Association is not in the property management business, let’s stick to what the Association is good at… this is way beyond our mission.” Licosati said he is also concerned that the purchase was never vetted by the RSF Association finance committee, which he also believes to be true of the Association’s last big purchase, the Osuna property.

Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler has stated that the Garden Club purchase was discussed by the finance committee at several meetings, although not always formerly agendized. The purchase was on the February finance committee agenda. Those in support of the Garden Club purchase, like DiZio, feel that the building helps define the community and is a key amenity to preserve. It has been difficult finding volunteers to maintain and manage the facility but DiZio and her husband, Steve, took over to help turn the club around and get it on strong financial footing. However, in order to protect the clubhouse as a valuable community asset, the club could no longer afford to go it alone. DiZio said the only major change from the original talking points for the purchase is a benefit to the Association, not the Garden Club. The original talking points imply that the club should be able to use the building in perpetuity, with no method to remove the club. The deal is now structured so that if Association members feel the building should be used in another way it would take a vote to do so. The Garden Club can terminate the lease only by giving a two-year notice and the Association can terminate the lease and all other rights of the Garden Club at any time just with a vote of the member-

ship. The mailer alleges that the transaction was “cloaked in secrecy” and spun by those who have an interest in the sale going forward. DiZio said there were two town hall meetings called, several Garden Club meetings and a mailing with extensive information before they spent time and resources developing the transaction. “There is no secrecy associated to this deal. All involved did not take a step without first asking for a vote of the community. We have been more open with respect to this deal than any previous deal in Rancho Santa Fe,” DiZio said. The opposition also takes issue with the fact that the Garden Club members say how they care about the community and yet threaten to sell the property to commercial interests that would “denigrate the community.” “The Garden Club is not threatening to sell to commercial interests. The club has spent considerable time and money to try and craft an agreement which meets the governmental requirements and keeps the facility as a community asset. It is a fact that the property can be sold and used as a private club with party rentals every night of the week, which makes it a commercial operation and a denigration of the community by definition,” DiZio said. “If the community decides they do not want the facility, the Garden Club will have no option except to sell to the highest bidder, who might likely be a commercial entity.” Licosati and Kaiser said they believe better use of the Association’s Covenant Enhancement Fund monies would be to spend it on projects that would increase the value of Covenant homes and offer similar amenities to that of surrounding communities. “Are we better off spending money for Osuna and fixing an old unused adobe? Or building high-speed internet? Or improving cell phone coverage? Or supporting a community center?” the mailer asked. The opposition believes that rushing into a Garden Club purchase would prevent an open debate on how else they could use the funds to invest in the community, such as building a pool and fitness center. “There is no evidence the community wants a pool and fitness center. There was one survey done by ClubMark in which 1,700 members were surveyed and fewer than 175 voted in favor of a pool,” DiZio said, “Fewer than 300 voted in favor of a fitness facility and no costs or financials were included. This topic is something to muddy the waters and confuse the voters.” DiZio said following the purchase, the Community Enhancement Fund would be See DEBATE, page 21

Potential grant recipients address RSF Women’s Fund

he Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund (RSFWF) held an event April 24 at the RSF Golf Club where potential grant recipients had an opportunity to share their unique approach to solving needs in the local community with the full membership of the Women’s Fund.

Depending on the amount requested by each organization in their grant proposal, eight to 10 organizations will be able to put a new program into action, expand a program that is working well or hire more people to continue the great work that they have been doing. The mission of the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund is to educate, inspire and increase the number of women committed to philanthropy in order to strengthen the community and impact lives through informed, focused, collective giving.

Kim Eggleston & Ann Boon for Rancho Santa Fe Association Board

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Ready to Take Responsibility What We Will Do:

What We Will Not Do:

Commit to Open Government

We Will Not Raise Association Dues

We are a diverse community. Everyone has a right to participate in its government and to know how their money is being spent. Questions will be encouraged and answers will be provided in a transparent manner.

Ensure Fiscal Prudence

Most of us have no idea how much of our dues are spent on overpayments, excessive compensation, and unsound investments. We will treat our budget with the same diligence that we handle our personal finances.

www.rsfreview.com

Update Our Infrastructure

We are, collectively, a community of successful people. There is no reason why our infrastructure, technology, and community services canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a first-class attraction. We will invest in our infrastructure with an eye on our home values.

No homeowners dues increases. PERIOD. We need to get spending under control, then INVEST in critical infrastructure.

We Will Not Act Without Consensus

The diversity of our community comes with a diversity of opinion. From pools to big purchases, our future should be discussed in an open forum.

We Will Not Make Personal Attacks

We all have opinions. But we believe that the purpose of government is to resolve conflict, not to disparage opposing views.

We Will Not Compromise Our Historic Roots We moved to the Ranch because we love the culture and the ranch lifestyle. We will protect its history and beauty.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Straight Talk Here is straight talk about PIC after years of thought. My opinions are from firsthand knowledge, and my wasted three years of attempted service. PIC has controlled everything for decades. They and their endorsements say so. PIC thinks having the same 30 people in key positions is proof they know best. But it is a weakness; theirs and ours. PIC tactics can harm our community. Many fine individuals and some positive service. But demonizing opposing thought, overturning elections, and other harmful strategies reveals PIC’s hidden agenda of absolute power and control. Is absolute control harmful? Lord Acton (UK) said in 1887: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” What problems have we seen here? Divisiveness, dishonesty, destruction, discouraging participation. Retaining power and control was sometimes more important than community. During elections we start hearing awful things about the non-PIC candidates. Ugly whispers come from the group that “doth protest too much methinks.” (Shakespheare 1602). Let’s discuss qualifications, issues, and facts without personalization. Long ago three “unofficial” candidates were elected overcoming considerable opposition by PIC and the board. Members democratically spoke clearly. Then PIC launched two years of turmoil, causing a decade of damage to avoid losing control. Issues then remain today, 10 years after Pres. Bueno said: “Now we can get some things done,” after recalling a 39-year resident. During the PIC-generated turmoil community enhancements were rarely discussed, and none approved. If PIC was truly interested in community they would not have opposed all 20 positive proposals. The boardroom AV projector was the only gain then because the issue was PIC retaining power. When PIC collects debts from supported candidates, honest people get pressured to look the other way, and avoid their fiduciary responsibility. I saw this happen in several “independent investigations.” The person being investigated arranged and was sometimes present in the witness interviews with the investigator, who still owes his employSee TALK, page A21

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ but it could be much better A recent letter to the editor titled “It’s a Wonderful Life” contained one accurate statement. Who would disagree that “It’s a Wonderful Life” and RSF is a great place, but “it could be much better!” With Regal Imperium the recent *PIC letter claimed opponents were using many “innuendo(s), falsehoods and rumors.” But that Op-Ed offered no supporting facts, and was loaded with more than a dozen “innuendo(s), falsehoods and rumors.” The most outrageous claim: “They don’t like what we have here and I am wondering why they moved here, aren’t you?” Translation: “No questions allowed, and if you don’t like the way things are done in RSF then leave.” That Op-Ed even charged opponents of “nasty negativism,” again without supporting facts. Is this a mature discussion of issues? Or, is it another instance of the self-appointed elite telling us to pay up, but not to speak up, as they question our motives again and again. Why does this secret group always resort to maligning those raising legitimate issues, as they continue to assert their unbridled power and totalitarian tactics? Are we in the U.S. or someplace else we really don’t want to be? More members than PIC realizes deeply love RSF, want to make it a better place and are tired of absolute control by a self-appointed few. Why are only a handful of us qualified to serve and the rest of us are “malcontents”? Soon PIC will tell us to vote for spouses of former board members in order to retain absolute control. Do we really want to continue the reign of Imperial Leadership, stifle or eliminate open discussion and be controlled by PIC? Do we want to continue to live in a community where people are afraid to speak up because they might need to go before the Art Jury/CDRC, or don’t apply for positions on the RSF Association board and its committees because of fear of being attacked, or they know they will not be appointed or will be, if PIC’s “screening process” fails and someone “accidentally makes

Whistleblower critics indeed Since when does asking questions and finding answers let some others condemn a RSF board member in public, in the press with a character damnation edict like the one written in February signed by some 30 self-described community leaders? We elect people to be the caretakers of our community and their biggest duty of all is fiscal responsibility. When we ask questions about finances, we need answers, not excuses, delays or no response. I would hope that our elected board members would want to know that all procedures are being done correctly and openly. We elect people to represent us, the residents, not just listen to one recommendation, or another person’s decision. The board has the ultimate authority. We expect our board to do their job, be open about what needs to be done and spend our assessment monies wisely. That hasn’t always been the case. The manifesto that appeared on Feb. 12, 2014 signed by people who have served on the board, committees of the board, or community organizations is one of the ugliest things I have ever read. If this is what you think is the proper way to condemn someone, you did a good job and also reached a new low point for Rancho Santa Fe decorum. Who’s going to be the next victim to be stoned by the mob? I also think this whole unbelievable tirade shows us that this community definitely needs some changes in leadership. We need people who think for themselves, who ask questions of staff and committees, who know what fiduciary responsibility really means, and looks to make changes, if needed. Our representatives need to be accountable to all the residents without being chased down by the angry folks who think they did better. It is time to clear the air, get back to reasonable behavior, stop calling names and acting like a self-appointed higher authority. Lambasting and name calling someone in public like this is cruel and an apology of huge proportion is in order to stop this behavior or it will fester even further. Besides which, next time you call someone’s name specifically out in print to reprimand them openly in the press, better think twice about the legal ramifications. Why not have a private meeting to discuss your differences, which could have been more constructive. P.S. I did attend the meetings in February and March. I was there and witnessed what went on. The whistle blower called it like she saw it – it’s called transparency and well overdue!

The FedEx mailer proposes that the Association is overpaying for the property and Licosati said the $2.4 million appraisal is missing the “massive encumbrances” in the 73-page lease. He said the Garden Club gets use of the office and retail space for free. DiZio said that the Garden Club desired no lease and would have been “delighted” to rent the basement on a month-tomonth basis. She said the Association board sent a letter to the club requesting an option to purchase the facility at the appraised value with no rights attached, no club use or lease. DiZio

said the club was prepared to sell with no strings attached, but the board chose to enter into the present agreement rather than give up its control of the proceeds and its financial benefit from the lease. Licosati also questions why the Garden Club’s financials were never disclosed. He showed that the club has a large surplus and almost $500,000 in cash. “The Garden Club is spinning that they need to sell because they can’t support it financially, but it sure looks like they can support it,” Licosati said. “Why was this information not disclosed before? It’s critical information.” DiZio said while they did not give the data to the opposition directly, it has always been available for anyone who had the interest and took the time to look it up. “It’s an immaterial issue in the decision to sell the building,” DiZio said. “The Garden Club has made the decision to sell.” The opposition does not like that the purchase will result in an “incredible transfer of wealth and control to the Garden Club with little community input.” DiZio said that there is not transfer of funds to the Garden Club. The funds will be managed by the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation and distribution from the fund will be under control of a five-member advisory committee consisting of two Association directors, two Garden Club directors and one RSF Foundation director with four votes required for approval. Licosati said he didn’t like that the two Garden Club See DEBATE, page A26

ment to the person being investigated. PIC everywhere and participants remained silent. Each time contradictory facts arose, the investigator crafted a different exculpatory out. PIC got the votes and an impossible conclusion several times as the board hid behind investigations they knew were not “independent.” Boardus Defensus? Another time the Association attorney told me it was “only politics” as I insisted the issue was honesty again. Any skill set for directors must include absolute honesty. Character and integrity is too vague. Our community was damaged by past PIC involvement and pressure. Nothing else explains what I saw. Independent directors are needed. Decide for yourself which candidates are truly independent. PIC should/must become an inclusive “community” organization instead of being a “political” organization.? This would be an “Open System” (page 21 at right) solution instead of winning at any cost. Bill Strong (RSFA Director 2001-04)

There are lots of very talented, civic-minded members who could contribute tremendously to our community, if we had a culture of inclusive governance.

Is RSF Open or Closed? An ideological dispute has raged for ﬁfteen years behind the RSFA elections, meetings, Minutes, and activities. It sometimes erupts visibly with Recalls or spreading ugly rumors about candidates. My May 9, 2002 Review Op-Ed offered a philosophical framework, still relevant today. Where do you feel we are now? Where do you want us to be in the future? Open or Closed? It is our community.

it” onto the board or a committee and turns out to be a “malcontent,” “dismissed” for failure to comply with their “rules”? Many know a discussion of priorities and sunshine are needed more now than ever. If the RSF Association track record on property acquisition was transparent and disclosure was complete, there would be no issue about the Garden Club now. Because the Osuna purchase netted the seller a quick $3+ million profit, and was never vetted by the Finance Committee or the voters, many question the Garden Club deal. Where, exactly, in the minutes of the RSF Association Finance Committee and/or board does it show that the Garden Club deal was vetted by the Finance Committee? Shouldn’t we stop recycling the same small group of people, shuffling them from the RSF Association board, to board committees and the CDRC, to the school

money, the “hobby” moniker goes away pretty fast. But just for the record, people who belittle your passion aren’t adding much to the world, and you’re trying to. So what side of that equation would you rather find yourself on? Hardy and Glitsky appear in so many of your books. How real have they become to you? What do you think makes them such a good pairing? These guys couldn’t be any more real. They’ve got their own lives and their lives visa-vis each other. I think they’re such a good pairing because a) they’re funny with each other; b) they care, basically, about the same things; c) they have a long history with both

of their families; and, d) in many ways, they couldn’t be more different: Glitsky doesn’t A25 drink, he doesn’t swear, he plays by the book, whereas Hardy drinks, is irreverent to the max, and is very much a loose cannon. These guys shouldn’t get along at all, and yet they’re the best of friends, and that makes, I think, for fun reading. Many of your books have at their core a timely, newsworthy, relevant premise. What is at the at the core of your newest book, “The Keeper?” Without giving away too much of the plot, let’s just say that San Francisco has had some very interesting recent history surrounding the office of the Sheriff and the running of the jail. That history figures prominently in “The Keeper.” What person, event, or writer has most influenced you as a writer? Most? That’s one of the major questions. Persons include my father and my wife Lisa Sawyer. Events? Not so much. Influential writers: Conan Doyle, John D. MacDonald, Hemingway, Elmore Leonard, and Lawrence Durrell. You have 18 NY Times bestselling books to your credit. How does being a bestselling author inform your writing process? It’s a responsibility, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. There’s an expectation that you’re going to come out with a “big” story that will be widely read and, hopefully, enjoyed. I think it’s important to respect that expectation. Over the years you have seen the publishing industry evolve dramatically. What has stayed the same? Ironically, in my own career, the basic ebb and flow of producing books has remained remarkably the same. I’ve been extremely fortunate to be under contract for the past 16 or 17 years, and I hand in an outline in September, write the book through the winter, hand it in come June or July, promote last year’s book and the paperback of the two-yearsago book, and then hand in the next outline the next September. With all the upheaval in the industry, producing the next actual book remains pretty much a constant. What is the best advice you ever received as a writer? Writer’s block is simply a failure of nerve. What is the best bit of advice you give aspiring authors? Finish something. Anything. A poem, a short story, a novel. Just get to the end of whatever you’re writing, because that’s where you learn how to do it. Oh, and I have one more: Try to write one page a day. If you can’t write one page a day, sorry, but you’re probably not a writer. But if you can and do, you’ll have a book within one year.

continued from page A2 as resilient as any,” Harry said. “They have hopes and they have ambition and even the smallest children gathered at the roadside as we passed in a car.” In 2009, the couple’s nonprofit, World of Children Award, honored Jessica Markowitz, founder of a high-impact girls’ education program in Rwanda. Jessica’s program, Richard’s Rwanda IMPUHWE, has supported the primary and secondary education of 40 girls in Rwanda. During their trip, Harry and Kay had the chance to visit Richard’s Rwanda and meet girls who have big dreams for the future. “Jessica and Richard’s Rwanda are changing the lives of these girls,” Kay said, “giving them hope when there was no hope, making them strong women, allowing them to dream of a future that was unimaginable.” Harry and Kay also visited a children’s village in rural Rwanda that is now home to 500 children who were orphaned by the genocide or who became orphans after their parents died of HIV or other diseases. This was built on the model developed by Chaim Peri in Israel, honored by World of Children Award in 1998.

“The result is an amazing haven in the middle of a terribly impoverished part of Rwanda,” Harry said. “Here, 500 teenagers live and learn together. All orphans, they live in beautifully designed buildings called Home.” Today, 20 years later, Rwanda is making great strides in trying to put its past behind and build a new society based on tolerance and inclusiveness; but it is not easy. “Rwanda was supposed to be a failed state,” said President Paul Kagame at the Commemoration Event. “Rwanda could have become a permanent U.N. protectorate with little hope of recovering a national identity. We could have been engulfed in a never-ending civil war with endless streams of refugees and our children sick and uneducated, but we did not end up like that. Instead we chose to stay together and we passed a new inclusive constitution.” For Harry and Kay, the children at Richard’s Rwanda and Agahozo-Shalom are validation of President Kagame’s optimism. “This is what is so heartwarming — no matter where in the world they are, no matter the extreme conditions they face, no matter the degree of difficulty of their lives, they are, after all, children,” Harry said.

“They can smile, they can play, and if we give them a chance they can and will learn. And who knows, perhaps the next Nobel Prize winner for 2050 was standing by the roadside as we passed, barely dressed in dirty clothes and without shoes, but with hope in their eyes.” — Press submission

MARATHON continued from page A6 working, he found out through Facebook updates that everyone was OK. “The team made the decision immediately to go back the next year and take back the finish line,” Rechs said. It was an “emotionpacked” race as not only was Boston coming back strong but it was Dick’s last race with Rick. This year Team Hoyt was able to raise over $20,000 for the Hoyt Foundation for children with disabilities and for the Boston Children’s Hospital. “This year was bigger, better, more electric,” Rechs said. “The crowds were amazing…The crowd carries you. When you’re in trouble and struggling and your leg is cramping, the crowd is always there to pick you up…They take their marathons seriously.” As the Hoyts start two hours ahead, the rest of

the team has to try and catch up to them. This year, Rech caught up at mile 23 and 20 members of the team crossed the finish line together. Next year, Rick will run again with team member Bryan Lyons taking over for Dick. Rechs plans to return as well. “It’s the best race I’ve ever done,” Rech said of Boston. “After I ran my first marathon, (Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego in 1999) I vowed I would never do another one, but when the opportunity came up to run for the Hoyt Foundation in 2010, I took it and I’ve been at it ever since.” Carmel Valley resident Bernie Sidney, 50, recalls passing Team Hoyt while she ran a very emotional marathon in Boston. Sidney had qualified for Boston running Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego in 2013 on no sleep and little food, two days after the father of her two children passed away. Boston’s loss felt like her loss, she said, and while she primarily races Ironman-distance triathlons, she had to be part of the historical event this year. “People were cheering from mile one to mile 26.2, the town was like one. I was trying to remember every single thing at this race, I don’t ever want to forget it. I started the race crying and as I passed the Hoyt family, I lost it completely,” said Sidney. “I felt like I was running in front of my family cheering me on. I loved every step I took on that race, it seemed like it went too fast for me.” ***** As he watched the horrible events unfold on TV in 2013, it never occurred to Rancho Santa Fe’s Dan Minteer that he would ever run the Boston Marathon, much less run it the very next year. “I had only run a single marathon and I was nowhere near qualifying,” said Minteer, 64. He ran the June 2013 Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathon with no goals of qualifying for Boston but found out that he had. “When I found out later that I had qualified, I wanted to be part of the Boston Marathon and play a small role in showing the world that acts of terror will not destroy what is great in this country.” Minteer said the running community and the city of Boston came together and sent a message loud and clear that the Boston Marathon had not only survived but had come back even stronger than before. “It was a wonderful experience in Boston. People thanked you for coming; I thanked them for putting on such a great event.” Minteer said. “The roar of the crowds as the runners went through the course was unlike anything I had ever experienced. The people of Boston and their marathon are back. It was a special treat that an American man won for the first time in 31 years — a runner from San Diego no less. I was honored to be there.” Other Rancho Santa Fe finishers: Omar Bouhaddou (57) and Heidi Nevin (40).

members on the board controlling the fund would be husband and wife. The opposition takes issue with the fact that many of the arguments to support the sale relate back to the fact that 85 percent voted in favor of the sale in the April 2013 vote. Licosati said because the vote represented 667 people of 3,200 potential voters, the vote represents more like 20 percent of the community. “We’re told that this was one of the largest returns of votes for any election in the Ranch,” DiZio said of the 786 ballots returned of 1,700 cast. DiZio said that the 3,200 number used by the opposition is misleading since people in the Ranch vote, not properties. Those who own multiple properties don’t get multiple votes. Thanks to voter registration outreach, about 72 percent of the Covenant community is now registered to vote, a total of 1,945 members with 241 new registered voters have been added since Feb. 28. Licosati said the “antiquated” voter registration pro-

More than $1 million was spent making the film, including a $550,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and his own private funds, Binkley said. Recent tensions between Russia and its neighbor to the west caused Saifudinov’s band to scuttle plans to perform in Ukraine this spring. The tour was being planned by Del Mar resident Sasha Alex Bach, Elektrik Tank’s drummer. More than 50 years after his first encounter with rock and roll, Saifudinov remains an ardent fan and practitioner of the genre. His band’s new album, “Go Go Boom Boom” features 11 original compositions. “It was fresh, it was new, it was exciting, it was incredibly powerful,” Saifudinov said of his early impressions of rock music. “We owned the place. Let people work and build socialism, but we wanted to have fun.” For more information on the May 6 event, visit www.bellyup.com.

“Chasing the Song” runs through June 15 at La Jolla Playhouse. Courtesy photo from spring of 1963 to ‘64 — and how she achieves success and then what happens when the Beatles arrive and that changes the business overnight.” DiPietro said he is a history buff and loves writing historical pieces — an interest that triggered his desire to work with Bryan on a play about the American history of rock ‘n’ roll. “I grew up on rock ‘n’ roll in the 1970s and always thought that theater should reflect the popular music of the day on the radio,” DiPietro said. “When I started collaboration with David on ‘Memphis,’ I was so excited that he was a real rocker. He has a real theatrical sense and a story-telling sense, so I was thrilled that we could do traditional story-telling but with a rock ‘n’ roll vocabulary.” The suggestion that the pair must have had to add an extra room to their homes for

all the awards they’ve won, brings a smile to DiPetrio’s face. “We are just two Jersey guys who have the same backgrounds and that helps. We get along and are good friends. I really love rock ‘n’ roll and wanted to bring it to theater, and David also wanted to bring what he does to the storytelling, which has made my stuff a little hipper, and my story kind of grounds him.” In addition to great music and a superb cast (many with Broadway experiences, some local favorites, and a few from the UC San Diego M.F.A program), DiPietro said he hopes theater-goers will see that like in life, you never know if a song will become a hit or a flop. “We kind of think of ourselves as the rock ‘n’ roll Rogers and Hammerstein, and I’ll be nervously watching from the back of the theater hoping audiences see our show as one made See PLAYHOUSE, page B22

La Jolla Cultural Partners

By Diana Saenger Speaking with Tony Award-winning playwright and lyricist Joe DiPietro is almost as fun as watching one of the terrific productions he’s behind — like the Tony Award-winning “Memphis” or “The Toxic Avenger.” DiPietro has a great sense of humor that pops up often when talking about his career and his excitement over his current project, “Chasing the Song,” opening May 12 at the La Jolla Playhouse. Directed by Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley, “Chasing the Song” was a Page to Stage Playhouse workshop production last year from the “Memphis” team, and features book and lyrics by DiPietro, with music and lyrics by David Bryan, Tony-Award winning composer and lyricist for “Memphis” and Grammy Awardwinning keyboard player and founding member of the rock band Bon Jovi. It was during the workshop that Ashley invited DiPietro and Bryan to produce “Chasing the Song” at the Playhouse. “It’s exciting to bring this show to the Playhouse,” DiPietro said. “This is an 18-person musical so it’s very complicated, and because you learn things in rehearsal, I’m always re-writing and tweaking; I’m fully in it mind and soul.” “Chasing the Song” centers on the Brill Building in New York City where the sound of the music charts changed in the early 1960s through artists such as Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Bobby Darin, Neil Sedaka, Carole King and others. “It’s a fictional story about the first female music publisher in the Brill Building,” DiPietro said. “It takes place during one tumultuous year in her company —

By Kristina Houck How do you define “one?” That’s a question Del Mar filmmaker Sue Vicory asked all 25 people she interviewed for her latest documentary. “One” explores global humanity and our individual significance and impact within it. “It looks at one person in the midst of 7 billion people,” Vicory said. “It seems so big and overwhelming, but when you really look at it, we’re all the same in so many ways.” From San Diego to South Africa, Vicory traveled the globe interviewing people of different ethnicities and religions, ranging in age from 9 to 90. In her interviews, she asked everyone how they define “one,” if they feel they are a significant piece of humanity, if they feel they’ve made an impact on humanity, what act they feel has changed someone’s life and what they want their legacy to be. Although all of her subjects came from different backgrounds, she discovered their answers were not that different. “It was so interesting to see a common thread that people talked about,” said Vicory, who noted every individual talked about the importance of love. “One” is Vicory’s fourth film. Vicory began her filmmaking career more than a decade ago after her youngest of two daughters went away to college. Having worked at her family’s business for 20 years, she wanted to follow a new passion in the second half of her life. After deciding she wanted to be a documentary filmmaker, she signed up for a film class in New York. Vicory released her first documentary in 2005, a short 10-minute film called “Homelessness and The Power of One.” “It really struck a chord on the impact one person can have on another person’s life,” she said. In 2011, she completed her second film, “Kansas City Jazz and Blues: Past, Present & Future.” The feature-length documentary covered the history of jazz and blues in Kansas City and later aired on PBS. Her third film, “1898: The W.F. Norman story,” explored her family’s hand-pressed tin ceiling business. “I love giving birth to an idea,” said Vicory, who previously lived with her husband in Kansas City before the couple relocated to Del Mar two and a half years ago. “Once it’s complete and out there in the world — it would have never existed before it came

Sue Vicory. Courtesy photo through me.” The idea for her fourth film came while on a flight home from Kansas City in October 2012. She was typing “one” on her iPad when the word “resonated” with her. “It seemed like it was so wide open,” she said. “I could take it whatever direction it meant to go.”

Two months later, Vicory conducted her first interview for the film. Within a year, the film was in post-production. Living in Del Mar throughout the process, Vicory collaborated with other locals on the project. Carmel Valley voice-over actress Sariann Monaco co-produced and narrated the film. Del Mar artist Maidy Morhous was one of Vicory’s subjects. Since then, Morhous created “Humanity,” a bronze sculpture inspired by the film. La Jolla musician Nash Howe created original music for the film. “It’s such an honor for me to collaborate with people I never knew before I started this project,” Vicory said. “Now we’re woven together forever.” There is also a companion book for the film, which was written and illustrated by Vicory’s daughters. Tracy Vicory-Rosenquest, 34, is a playwright. Katy Vicory, 32, is an illustrator. Both the film and book will be available on Vicory’s new website, which launches on May 5, her 60th birthday. “My Power of One” brand will also feature apparel and accessories with a portion of the proceeds benefiting organizations that support children, women, animals, art and the environment. “It’s come full circle,” said Vicory, who noted her latest project connects to her first. “‘My Power of One’ is a social statement. We all are impacting someone.” For more information about Sue Vicory, visit suevicory.com. For more information about My Power of One, visit www.mypowerofone.com.

Local rowers bring home gold, silver and bronze medals High school girl athletes of the San Diego Rowing Club (SDRC) won gold, silver and bronze medals at the Long Beach Invitational Regatta where top junior teams from the western U.S. competed in advance of regional and national championships. Mariko Kelly rowed her way to three gold medals. She was joined by SDRC teammates Sarah Hoskin, Marissa Gibson and Jillian Renly in winning the women’s quadruple sculls division, which featured a race distance of 1,100 meters with seven teams vying for gold — among them, last year’s national champions, Long Beach Junior Crew. The SDRC Junior Women’s Varsity 4-seat boat victory was one of many highlights during two days of racing by the SDRC Juniors Team April 12-13 at the Long Beach Marine Stadium, site of the 1932 Summer Olympics rowing venue. More than 20 teams from California, Arizona and Utah raced in multiple divisions featuring boats with 8 rowers, 4 rowers, 2 rowers, single rowers, and coxswains (in the 8-seat and 4-seat boats) who are responsible for steering, speed, timing, and fluidity. The Long Beach Invitational Regatta is considered a “tune-up” before the US Rowing Southwest Junior District Championships May 2-4 in the Sacramento area on Lake Natoma. The Southwest Junior District Championships are a qualifier for the US Rowing Youth National Championships, which will also be held on Lake Natoma June 13-15. Nearly two dozen rowers competed as part of the SDRC Junior Women’s Varsity Team at the recent Long Beach event, which also saw strong racing by the SDRC Junior Women’s Novice Team of first-year rowers. The SDRC Junior Novice Men had a solid performance with gold medals in the 4-seat boat; silver and bronze medals in the singles; and a bronze medal in the 8-seat boat. Kelly, of Del Mar, is an 11th-grade student at La Jolla Country Day School and has been rowing for SDRC for 3 years. Hoskin is a senior at the Academy of Our Lady Peace in San Diego and heads to Fordham University on a rowing scholarship next year. Hoskin was joined by Evelyn Hall, a senior at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, to win silver in the lightweight women’s double boat. Gibson, a senior at La Jolla High School, shared two gold medals with Kelly—one in the quadruple sculls division, the other in the women’s pair division. Gibson this fall will attend the University of Wisconsin on a rowing scholarship.

San Diego’s most popular culinary and social event, “Mama’s Day,” returns to the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine on Friday, May 9, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The extraordinary culinary poolside affair is a major source of funding for Mama’s Kitchen, a local nonprofit organization which cooks and delivers hot, nutrition-specific meals free of charge to men, women and children affected by AIDS or cancer throughout San Diego County.

Guests enjoy music, food and fun throughout the evening, as well as bidding on an extensive silent auction, entering an opportunity drawing for outstanding prizes, and a Wine Vault, with a chance to win more than $1,000 worth of premium wines.

events at the RSF Community Center SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Upcoming BY LINDA DURKET, RSF COMMUNITY CENTER, Change the way you interact with water at North County Wavejet Brad Vanderlip, owner of North County Wavejet, recently described how his unique business evolved: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When my friend developed and patented a personal system water propulsion system for surfboards, I bought my first Wavejet and it changed how I surfed and never went back to regular surfing. I could go where no one else could go and spend more time riding the waves. So, when my friend Mike offered the chance to open the first retail store in California I jumped at the opportunity and opened the North County Wavejet store in south Oceanside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The really unusual thing about my store is my 81-year-old mother, her 84-yearold husband and a 24-year-old cousin helped me develop and open the store. I think this might be a first for three generations to open a surfboard store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first sale started with a man from Malibu flying to Palomar Airport in his jet and coming to my shop and buying two Wavejets. I delivered the Wavejet to his oceanfront home in Malibu. I also had a lot of interest from Camp Pendleton Marine base for soldiers with injuries. I did a lot of demonstrations and rentals with them. What a rewarding experience to help someone enjoy surfing again! â&#x20AC;&#x153;This month of May our shop will be selling and demonstrating the first kayak with a water propulsion system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come by the store and see the revelation in surfing and kayaking.â&#x20AC;? North County Wavejet is located at 1935 South Coast Highway, Oceanside Calif., 92054; 760-254-5848; www.northcountywavejet.com.

Month, which is marked each year in 80 countries and by more than 1,000 events in North America, centered on World Fair Trade Day, Saturday, May 10. The goal of the day is to celebrate and raise awareness for fair trade justice for farmers and artisans. Currently 1.3 million producers benefit from Fair Trade around the world. Local retailer Fair Trade DĂŠcor will host two free World Fair Trade Day events at its Del Mar location May 10 and 11. Alebrijes fantasy animal carver Saul Aragon and his wife and painter, Alma Arreola, will be at the store both days from 12 - 6 p.m. demonstrating this internationally-respected Mexican tradition. The first alebrijes originated with Pedro Linares in the 1930s. Linares fell very ill, and while in bed, unconscious, Linares dreamt of a strange forest. There, he saw animals suddenly turn into fantasies. He saw a donkey with butterfly wings, a rooster with bull horns, a lion with an eagle head, and all

New board working to keep SD Opera open San Diego Opera Board Acting President Carol Lazier has announced that Ian Campbell, general and artistic director and CEO of the San Diego Opera, and Ann Spira Campbell, deputy general director, have been placed on leave. On April 18, after hearing from a Special Committee of the Board, the newly reconstituted board announced its intention not to close the opera on April 29, as had been previously reported. The board voted at a four-hour meeting on April 17 to stay open until at least May 19 and to explore opportunities to continue the Opera Association’s mission. “We are now very focused on reshaping the San Diego Opera and following a fiscally responsible path,” said Lazier. In light of this news, San Diego Opera has announced that fundraising options for the company’s 2015 season, its 50th, are now available to the public after the creation of an escrow account approved by the Board of Directors. This account enables the company to begin collecting funds that are restricted to the production of a 2015 season. If the 2015 season is not announced, or the $1 million goal is not met by May 19, 2014, donations will not be released to the company and will be returned to the donor. The creation of this account allows the company to explore moving forward while protecting donor money and giving supporters the security that their gift

is being applied to the future of San Diego Opera which is now actively analyzing sustainable business models and various plans for future seasons. “The public support for San Diego Opera’s future has been overwhelming,” shares Lazier. “People could not accept their beloved opera was disappearing and took to the streets in protest. We heard you. And we’re proud to say that the future of San Diego Opera will celebrate its legacy of artistic excellence. But now it is up to you. The new San Diego Opera will not only depend on large gifts, but the community’s engagement and support. Every gift is needed — large, small and in between. From an acorn we will grow a mighty tree.” Tax deductible donations restricted to the 2015 season can be made online at www.sdopera.com/moveforward (anytime) or by phone at 619-533-7000 (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.). San Diego Opera is also accepting unrestricted tax deductible donations for the 2014 season. The Board of Directors will still need to vote on producing a 2015 season pending the outcome of fundraising efforts and also would need to vote to rescind the decision to close the Company which is now scheduled for May 19, 2014. Once a 2015 season has been approved, the Company will announce the season schedule and open subscription sales. Visit www.sdopera.com. - submitted press release

After a recent study conducted by Harris Poll EquiTrend, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices was named Real Estate Agency Brand of the Year. Over 40,000 people responded to the survey, which measures consumer perceptions of a brand’s familiarity and quality. “This is gratifying recognition because it represents the honest feedback and opinions of our clients,” notes David M. Cabot, president and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. “This terrific honor by consumers is a tribute to our powerful brand-whose namesake is the world-renowned Berkshire Hathaway Inc.-and the top-quality affiliates and agents who represent it,” says Earl Lee, CEO of HSF Affiliates LLC, which operates Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. Stephen Phillips, president, adds, “We are humbled by the honor, particularly since our brand was not even a year old at the time of the study.” As the first affiliate to adopt the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand, the agents, leaders and staff at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties have a reason to believe their efforts played a substantial role in the brokerage being named Real Estate Agency Brand of the Year. “We believe that brand reputation is essential to our business,” explains Cabot. “This achievement shows that when a client chooses one of our agents to represent them when they sell or buy real estate, they are confident that they will receive the support of a local expert with a backing of an industry leader. It also proves that our sellers realize they will benefit from our worldwide referral network, as well as the service of an agent with access to exclusive marketing opportunities.” To contact the best qualified Realtor, or for information about career opportunities, please visit Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties on the web, at www. bhhscalifornia.com.
