Update: Letter to board triggers legal war of words BY JOE TASH A letter sent to the Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors criticizing board member and former president Ann Boon — and calling for her ouster — has sparked a back and forth battle of attorney’s letters, which include discussion of potential legal action. The original letter was signed by 33 Association members and delivered to the board of directors on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14. The letter criticized Boon for what it called “poor leadership and governance,” and cited a number of issues, including “disrespectful behavior” towards Association staff and former manager Pete Smith,

who has since resigned. The letter also accused Boon of “hijacking” the Association board agenda for personal or political reasons, failing to adequately secure confidential or sensitive information and “arbitrarily” cutting off public comment by members who may be opposed to her views. About two weeks later, attorney Valentine Hoy, representing Boon — who was removed from the board presidency on Feb. 20 by a 5-2 vote of the Association board but remains a director — wrote to the signers of the original letter, requesting

Residents vote against proposed RSF Garden Club purchase BY KAREN BILLING In a close vote, the Rancho Santa Fe Association membership voted against the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s $2.4 million purchase of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. The official results are 638 votes in favor of the purchase, and 659 votes against the purchase. According to the RSF Association, 1,859 ballots

were sent to members and 1,297 votes were returned. While the voter turnout was high, it was slightly short of the highest ballot return on record, which was 1,314 votes. In April 2013, the community voted 85 percent in favor of the sale, with 667 people voting in favor of the purchase out of 786 ballots See VOTE, page 25

BY KAREN BILLING Former RSF Association Manager Pete Smith’s severance agreement was revealed at the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Annual Meeting on May 8. RSF Association President Philip Wilkinson spoke about the details of the agreement. Smith recently retired after nearly 20 years with the RSF Association. Wilkinson said he was sharing the terms of the severance agreement because he feels it is important to keep the membership informed, as there have been many requests for the board to have more transparency. Smith had a rolling two-year employment agreement, which was put into place in 1996, according to Wilkinson. On Smith’s separation

date, officially June 30, he will receive his final paycheck, including his accrued, unused vacation pay and sick leave benefit in accordance with the Association’s policies and applicable California law, all of which has been previously accrued and funded. For the period of July 1, 2014 through Dec. 31, 2015, Smith will be reimbursed for his health premiums. In addition, Smith will receive severance pay that represents approximately 85 percent of his annual compensation, paid out over the next two fiscal years. An initial severance payment of $20,000 will be paid on July 1 and the remaining severance will be paid out in 12 equal monthly installments See AGREEMENT, page 25

RSF Association President’s Corner: Updates, accomplishments BY PHILIP WILKINSON, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT At the annual homeowners meeting last week, which was well attended, I borrowed a quote from Henry Kissinger: “The smaller the pond the bigger the ripples.” Our hope is that on June 9, after the election, the ripples will subside and we will have two newly elected directors that will work in a meaningful way with the board to address all of the issues that face our community in a very informed, open, respectful and diligent manner. After more than 20 years of service, Pete Smith has announced that he is retiring as Manager of the Rancho Santa Fe Association, effective June 30, 2014. Pete will be missed! I echo the sentiments of Walt Ekard, the highly respected former Association Manager and Chief Administrative Officer for San Diego County, who recently had this to say about Pete: “The leadership of Pete Smith is a prime reason why Rancho Santa Fe is unquestionably one of the finest communities in the world. For nearly 20 years, Pete has managed the Rancho Santa Fe Association and its high powered and sometimes challenging personalities with a firm but respectful hand... I wish Pete and the Association the best of luck.” On the matter of the past president’s removal on Feb. 20, 2014: Many of you have asked me and other board members what really happened. In my 30 years of business experience I can tell you that five members of the board acted decisively together, based on their own knowledge and judgment, and without outside influence to remove the-then president Ann Boon after she surprised both her own board and the manager with the Form 990 accusations without prior notice or investigations. It was not because she shared compensation information that members are entitled to have. We, as a board, needed to proceed forward in a professional and respectful manner and to act in the best interest of the membership on the manager issue, and many other matters facing our community. As I approach the end of my first tumultuous year on the board, I have to remind myself that as a dedicated group of volunteers, working closely with the Association

Philip Wilkinson staff, we have accomplished a great deal. I’m proud to list, on behalf of both the board and the staff, some of the highlights. In the past year: • We upgraded the Association’s IT software and accounting system • Approved Golf Club membership rights for all condominium owners • We established a Compensation Committee, a committee which last month implemented changes to the vacation and sick leave policies which should reduce costs by $1 million over the next five years. We also introduced bylaw changes to formalize this committee and make it permanent. The board Compensation Committee is made up of three experienced business executives that have made cost controls a top priority. • Grew voter registration

from 63 percent to 77 percent today and will not stop until everyone is registered. • Developed a new Association web site: www.thecovenantofrsf.org • Worked to bring expenditures in under budget this year and hold costs down in the 2014/2015 association budget. Grew reserve funding to $6 million and the Community Enhancement Funds to $6 million. • Constructed new trail and landscaping at the entrance to the RSF Sports Field. • Replaced 7,000 feet of fencing around the Golf Course. • Changed the Art Jury name to Covenant Design and Review Committee. • Constructed new landscaping and improved the trail at the La Bajada entrance to the Ranch. • Applied to the National Historic Registry for the Osuna Adobe. • Worked to obtain outside funding for one more RSF Patrol officer. • Approved a Village Farmers Market trial run. Let’s continue to work together on solving the issues and challenges we face such as Broadband service, controlling costs, and providing more amenities. We need to continue to recruit qualified vol-

unteers for these projects to keep ideas and solutions flowing. There will always be ripples in the pond, but if there weren’t any ripples things would be stagnant and we don’t want that.

First R. Roger Rowe School Career Expo to be held Mayy 23 R. Roger Rowe Middle School and The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation will present a “Career Expo” May 23, from 8:15 a.m.10:35 a.m., to inspire, interest and inform Middle School students by giving them early exposure to various career possibilities through the real world experiences of the school’s parents. Students will rotate through four group sessions led by parents experienced in areas such as technology, healthcare, entrepreneurship, real estate, law and finance. They will get a brief introduction to these sectors, what workers do in them, how they came to be in them and what opportunities might lie ahead. The Career Expo provides students an opportunity to attribute new relevance and purpose to their studies and gives them a head start on gaining valuable perspectives that they may not get

for many more years. It can position students to better tie their current and future studies into potential career interests and make more informed career choices down the road. The sessions promise to be interactive and dynamic engaging the students in the process. The Middle School Career Expo is sponsored and organized by Greg and Rebecca Arnold and supported by the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation. The Career Expo is an exciting and dynamic experience for students, and is an excellent example of how the RSFEF contributes to the superior educational experience of the students of R. Roger Rowe. For more information, please visit the school website: www.rsfschool.net.

Tom Clotfelter honored posthumously with Community Service Award BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association posthumously honored longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident Tom Clotfelter with its Community Service Award at the RSF Association’s Annual Meeting on May 8. Clotfelter passed away in January at the age of 81 and his wife, Karen, and his sons, Chaco and Cutter, accepted the award on his behalf. Acting RSF Association Manager Ivan Holler told how Clotfelter, one of San Diego’s finest conservationists who helped preserve the rural nature of the Covenant, was born in 1932 at the Osuna Adobe and grew up exploring Rancho Santa Fe’s canyons and creeks. Chaco said that if Tom had been there at the meeting, he would likely have had dirt under his fingernails as he was always enjoying the outdoors. Tom Clotfelter also played big roles in establishing many of the social and cultural institutions in the Ranch, such as co-founding The Country Friends, the RSF Book Club, Library Guild, and Fourth of July parade. He also served on

Tom Clotfelter the Santa Fe Irrigation District board for 28 years. In addition, Clotfelter helped the Association purchase the McMorrow property, now known as the Arroyo property, as open space. “Thanks to Tom, that extraordinary piece of property has been preserved for generations,” Holler said. Nancy Herrington, who was also honored by the RSF Association for taking care of the Covenant by picking up garbage on her morning walks on the trails, mentioned how Clotfelter would often stop and offer to help dispose of some of the trash she had collected. “Tom was always thinking about Rancho Santa Fe,” Herrington said.

RSF resident brings professional tennis back to area with the San Diego Aviators BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Russell Geyser is bringing professional tennis back to Southern California with the San Diego Aviators. The Aviators are a part of the Mylan World TeamTennis League, co-founded by Billie Jean King in 1974. King, the legendary tennis player who won 39 Grand Slam singles including a record 20 titles at Wimbledon, appeared at the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa on May 5 for Geyser’s press conference to announce that “the Aviators have landed.” The Aviators will have a compact but exciting threeweek season starting July 7 against the Austin Aces, a team that features former professional tennis player Andy Roddick. All 14 regular season matches will be played at the Valley View Casino Center (formerly the San Diego Sports Arena). “It’s very important to me, personally, that there’s a team in Southern California and San Diego couldn’t be any better,” King said. “There’s no reason the city can’t have a successful team. This is the only professional tennis you will have in this area and we hope people will come and support it…We think San Diego will just love it. Your team is amazing.” At various times in the past, San Diego has had a professional tennis presence — from 1975-78 the city was home to the World TeamTennis Friars and, in 1981-85, the Buds played here. Geyser said he chased hard to bring tennis back to the city, purchasing the team in early 2014, encouraged by his close friend Lorne Abony who owns the Austin Aces — Abony moved the Aces to Texas last year from Orange County. Geyser is the founder of Geyser Holdings, an early stage venture capital, deal syndication and real estate acquisition firm. He is also a film and television producer and co-founder of an athletic apparel company, Ballstreet. For the last six years he has been the lead sponsor for the SES Tennis Chapter that benefits kids in Tecate, Mexico. Tennis has long been his passion. In purchasing the team, he knew he was getting a team without players but he reached out to a number of tennis re-

San Diego Aviators owner Russell Geyser with Mylan World TeamTennis CEO Ilana Kloss (left) and league co-founder Billie Jean King (right). Photo by Karen Billing lationships he had and was able to recruit and build an “incredibly strong team.” “The most important thing I can say about World TeamTennis and the owners like Russell is they want to win and the players want to win. It really is about competition, this is not an exhibition,” said Ilana Kloss, the CEO of Mylan World TeamTennis. The Aviators bring together marquee players, such as the Bryan brothers Bob and Mike, who have amassed 98 team titles and an all-time record 15 Grand Slam titles, as well as four-time Grand Slam champion Daniela Hantuchova, a Slovakian tennis player who is ranked 30th in singles and 55 in doubles in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and has 33 top 10 singles wins. The three-time Olympian has beaten nearly all of the top players in the sport, including Ana Ivanovic, Maria Sharapova and Serena and Venus Williams. The Aviators are rounded out by the number one singles player from India, Somdev Devvarman, who won back-to-back NCAA titles while competing for the University of Vir-

ginia; Raven Klaasen, a South African tennis player ranked 30th in doubles; and Kveta Peschke, who has won 26 career WTA doubles titles and one singles title, currently ranked number 10 in WTA doubles. “I think Russell has done an amazing job of drafting a high-quality team with a lot of experience,” said Kloss. “They have the potential to win the conference this year.” “With your players, you have a good chance (to win the championship),” King said. “Your team is kind of the envy of the league.” Geyser said convincing players to come live and play in San Diego in July was not a hard sell. Team matches include five sets with one set each of men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles. The first team to five games wins each set. One point is awarded for each game won and a nine-point tiebreaker is played if the set is tied at four-all. Geyser said the Valley View venue offers a great setting to watch the matchSee TENNIS, page 28

RSF Association board candidates speak at Annual Meeting BY KAREN BILLING The four candidates vying for two seats on the Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors in this spring’s election made brief remarks at the May 8 RSF Association Annual Meeting (see below in alphabetical order). The ballots were mailed to registered RSF Association voters last week. Dominick Addario Addario has lived in the community for 30 years viewing the Association board functions from a member’s perspective, but now he finds himself running for a leadership position after being selected by the Nominating Committee. Addario, who practices clinical psychiatry, said he has experience serving on many boards and committees, and has a strong understanding of how best they can function. “My view is that a board is a team. It is not one person’s ideas alone that leads to a good outcome; it is cooperation and implementation,” Addario said, He said he has experience managing large administrative budgets and programs, including helping to get a program at the Department of Psychiatry at Scripps Mercy Hospital that was in the red about $2 million a year back in the black, in addition to improving the quality of service for the patients. Addario, who is a member of the RSF Golf Club, RSF Tennis Club and RSF Garden Club, said he has listened to a lot of input from members about the Association. He said that the pool and health center is an idea that has merit — he actually served on a group that studied the issue in 1984 and believes maybe now is the time to revisit it. He said the Association should continue to look at getting better wi-fi service; consider periodical evening board meetings so that more members can attend the meetings; and take strides toward fire prevention and water conservation, the community’s two most significant challenges. He said his intent as a board member would be solely to

provide a service to the members. “I come into this with no political agenda, only my devotion and respect for this community and to serve your needs in a civil and effective manner,” Addario said. Ann Boon Boon is aiming to serve her second term on the RSF Association board. She said the privilege of serving on a board is providing information to the people they serve so that there can be more meaningful discussions on how to allocate resources in the most efficient way. Boon said she had wanted to debate the issues with her fellow candidates, but more attention has been given as to why former RSF Association Manager Pete Smith retired and her role in his decision to retire. Boon referenced a letter written by Smith earlier in the year that was circulated to the community last week. “It’s too bad we can’t openly address how the board dealt with the letter,” Boon said. “Soon after the board members received Pete’s letter, they removed me as president.” Boon talked about how the board members stated at their last meeting that they had spent thousands of dollars to investigate Smith’s claims and she cannot say what the investigator found, but she stated she did not email Smith 300 times in the middle of the night as the letter claimed. Boon said she is not denying that Smith may have left because of her, but did express her “relief and happiness” that the situation has been resolved. She said she continues to campaign for open and honest dialogue, which may involve asking challenging questions like she has during her first term on the board, “My questions shed a light on previous lack of good governance,” Boon said. “I want to focus on the future of Rancho Santa Fe and the good work we can do together. I will keep asking questions and keep a critical eye on spending and work on a strategic plan that benefits all of the members of the community.” Susan Callahan Callahan, who works as the director of communications for International Relief Teams, a humanitarian organization that provides relief and services all over the world, has been a Rancho Santa Fe resident since 2000. Instead of her prepared written remarks, at the meeting she opted to “speak from the heart” and address the contentious atmosphere in Rancho Santa Fe over the last few months. “I don’t know what is going on here, everything is just crazy,” Callahan said. She said in her three years on the La Jolla Town Council

they accomplished a lot but they never had all the emotion that she is seeing in the Ranch. “I don’t understand how we’re getting to neighbor versus neighbor,” Callahan said, noting she has friends on both sides. She said when people ask what her platform is, she has taken to responding that she would like to help put the community back together and get the Association back in shape. “I just would like to see us all move forward,” Callahan said. “Let’s do it as a group and as a community and as a family of neighbors.” Kim Eggleston Eggleston has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for eight years and said he offers a fresh, independent and different perspective on how the Association should be governed. Eggleston remarked that he “never dreamed” his candidacy would evoke such hostility and the “flood of character assassinations” that has occurred — with an e-mail circulating last week from a group called Concerned Citizens for Rancho Santa Fe with several claims against him, which he said are untrue. “I applaud Susan for saying ‘Enough is enough’,” Eggleston said, sharing Callahan’s call for civility. “I never said any of those things (in the email).” Eggleston said he stresses the importance of transparency within the Association and having a system that makes community participation and involvement a priority. He thinks that to promote transparency and participation, meetings should be held later in the day so more members may attend and that meetings should be audio-taped so members can know what was discussed and what actions were taken. “We need to define the mission of our Association and the scope of its operation,” Eggleston said, referencing how the “contentious” proposal of the Garden Club showed how “tricky” it can be to purchase something using other people’s money. He said that the Association needs a strategic plan on how best to use its finite resources, such as improved cell service and letting the community vote on a swim and fitness center. “My intent is not to alter the Ranch lifestyle but to enhance it and prevent further erosion of home values by failing to implement plans for the 21st century,” Eggleston said. “Future residents will demand them and if we don’t have them, we risk becoming irrelevant while other residential alternatives thrive.”

RSF veteran visits World War II memorial BY KRISTINA HOUCK Seven decades after serving his country in World War II, Dale Nelson recently had the opportunity to visit the national memorial built in his honor. The 87-year-old Rancho Santa Fe resident was among 80 veterans who traveled to Washington, D.C. on May 2 to visit the World War II Memorial and other war memorials dedicated to their service and sacrifice. The allexpense paid trip was made possible by Honor Flight San Diego, a nonprofit organization that honors America’s veterans by helping them visit their memorials on the other side of the country. “It was emotional,” said Nelson, who has lived in the same Rancho Santa Fe house for 47 years. “It was a wonderful experience.” Nelson grew up on a farm in Lake Mills, Iowa. He joined the military immediately after graduating from high school in 1944. He was 18 years old. “Every kid in town could hardly wait to get in,” said Nelson, who enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps, the statutory forerunner of the U.S. Air Force. “We all wanted to fly.” Not long after he started training, however, German forces surrendered. “So my flying days never came,” he said. Instead, Nelson was sent to the Aleutian Islands, where Japanese forces occupied territory. It was consid-

Rancho Santa Fe veteran Dale Nelson recently visited the World War II Memorial as part of a trip paid for by Honor Flight San Diego. Photo by Kristina Houck ered an overseas mission because Alaska did not become a state until 1959. After serving as a private first class in the military for two years, Nelson went to the University of Minnesota, where he studied business and met his wife. The couple was married for 54 years and raised two children before Beverly died 14 years ago. His daughter has also since passed away. Nelson worked in the banking industry and most recently worked as an investment officer for San Diego Trust Bank before retiring 15 years ago. He currently serves as a board member for the Rancho Santa Fe Community Services District. He has previously served as president of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club and the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. When not in the garden, he enjoys spending time with his son, four grandsons and dog, “Puppy.” Although Nelson enjoyed every minute of his special two-day trip to the nation’s capital, his favorite moment was when he returned home May 4. Upon landing at Lindbergh Field, a crowd greeted Nelson and his fellow veterans with cheers and applause. “I broke up then,” said Nelson with a big smile and tears in his eyes. “The whole terminal was lined with people. There was everyone from older people to little kids, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts. They were shaking our hands and hugging us. I had a couple of ladies kiss me! “It was so emotional. I haven’t cried in years, but I couldn’t help myself. Even the thought of it now gets me.” For more information about Honor Flight San Diego, visit www.honorflightsandiego.org.

RSF mom heads top fundraising team in Miracle Babies 5K BY KRISTINA HOUCK A mother of two, Cami Rosso knows first-hand about the danger of high-risk pregnancies. Her oldest son spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit, and her youngest son was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. “We’re very fortunate that we can afford to have good care,” said Rosso, who moved with her family to Rancho Santa Fe from Del Mar two years ago. “There are other families with preterm babies and critically-ill babies who can’t afford good care. The thought of that is heartbreaking.” To support families with babies in the NICU, Rosso headed “Team M” in the sixth annual Miracle Babies 5K May 4 at San Diego’s Embarcadero Marina Park. It was Rosso’s first time participating in the event. As team captain, she led nearly 50 members. Team M raised more than $18,000, becoming the top fundraising team for the event. “It was the most phenomenal experience,” Rosso said. “A majority of our team members are mothers. They’re caring and kind and generous. It was so beautiful to share something like this. It was very moving.” Miracle Babies is a nonprofit organization that provides support and financial assistance to families with critically-ill newborns in the NICU, as well as enhance the well being of women, children and their families through education, prevention and medical care. Dr. Sean Daneshmand — who delivered both of Rosso’s children — founded the organization with his wife, Marjan, in 2009. Their daughter Natalie was born six weeks premature in December 2002. “On many levels, this is very personal,” Rosso said. “I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Sean Daneshmand for bringing my two children

into this world safely. My heart also goes out to families in need. I want to help them.” In addition to helping Miracle Babies, Team M also helped Rosso accomplish a personal goal. Rosso has a dream to one day climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and reach the peak of the 19,341-foot mountain. But because of a heart condition, her dream may never come to fruition. “The members of Team M — each and every one of them — are true beauties,” said Rosso with tears in her eyes. “Nobody knew this, but they helped me achieve my dream. It was my summiting Mount Kilimanjaro.” With a master’s in business from IMD business school in Switzerland and a certificate in marketing innovative technologies from Harvard Business School’s Executive Education program, Rosso previously worked as the CEO of three start-up companies. After the birth of her second son, Louis, or “Louie,” Rosso left the business world to be a full-time stay-at-home mom. Louie is now 3 years old, and Cameron recently celebrated his 5th birthday. Also a model for fashion apparel and consumer products, Rosso is a founding member of Miracle Babies’ Miracle Circle, a member of Las Damas de Fairbanks and a member of Rancho Santa Fe Community Center’s Moms and Tots group. With the 5K over, Rosso is now looking forward to attending Miracle Babies’ Casino Royale Masquerade Ball on Sept. 27 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine. “My hope is that if others see that a stay-at-home mom of two can do something like this, they, too, can do it,” Rosso said. “I hope people will be inspired to go out and do the same.” For more information about Miracle Babies, visit www.miraclebabies.org.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Two Scientists Walk Into a Barâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; As part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar,â&#x20AC;? the Grupo Cohiba Lunch Bunch recently hosted two physicists from the Ruben H. Fleet Science Center at the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly lunch at Mille Fleurs in RSF. At the head of the table were Dr. Heather Wilkens and Dr. Steven Snyder, executive director of the Center. Launched in March 2014, Two Scientists is designed to connect the public with San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large population of scientists. The idea is simple: two scientists are stationed inside a bar and everyone is invited to ask them their questions in an informal, relaxed setting. The scientists are easy to spot as they are near a sign that reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are scientists. Ask us anything!â&#x20AC;? At the official kick-off event that took place on March 20 (in conjunction with the San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering), 50 scientists were stationed at 25 different bars throughout San Diego County (two scientists/bar) and participated in informal Q&As with dozens of bar-goers. The next event will be held on Thursday, June 26, at several bars located across the county. More information, including a list of the participating bars, will be available soon (currently under construction) at www.rhfleet.org/events/two-scientists-walk-bar.

Get Ready To

The Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School welcomes 27 new members of the Cum Laude Society At a convocation at St. James by-the-Sea Church in La Jolla, Head of School Aimeclaire Roche recognized 27 members of the Class of 2014 as having received membership in the Cum Laude Society. The Rancho Santa Fe students who received membership in the Cum Laude Society are Kamran Jamil and Jonathan Styrt. Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juniors and seniors, families of honorees, faculty and staff heard from new society member Jenny Chen â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14 and alumnus Patrick Hook â&#x20AC;&#x2122;01. Both Jenny and Patrick offered words of wisdom for the students who will be making the transition from high school to college in just a few short months. The Cum Laude Society was founded in 1906 for the purpose of recognizing superior scholarship in independent school students. The founding model was very much like Phi Beta Kappa at the collegiate level, which recognizes and encourages true academic scholarship. Today, Cum Laude has grown to 382 chapters mostly in the United States; over 350 chapters are in the independent school arena. Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapter was founded in 1956. Approximately 4,000 students nationwide will be inducted into the society this year. For more information, about The Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School visit www.bishops.com.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MAY 15, 2014 - PAGE A11

Local resident Gary Jones elected to Thoroughbred racing’s Hall of Fame BY JULIE SARNO Retired from training Thoroughbred racehorses since 1996, Gary Jones thought his days of glory in horse racing were over. Jones was elated when it was announced recently that he was elected to Thoroughbred racing’s Hall of Fame. The local resident will be inducted during ceremonies on Friday, Aug. 8, at the Fasig-Tipton sales pavilion in Saratoga Springs, New York. To date only 92 trainers have been honored with the distinction of being inducted into the Hall of Fame at the National Museum of Racing in Saratoga Springs. According to Equibase, a racing statistical database, there are 4,484 trainers currently active in North America. Hall of Fame criteria dictate that trainers become eligible after 25 years as licensed Thoroughbred trainers. Thousands work training horses, few are honored by election to the Hall of Fame. Jones and his wife, Joan, have been year-round Del Mar residents for nearly 20 years since Jones’s retirement following a heart attack. Before that, they spent summers during the Del Mar race meet in a condo they owned in Solana Beach. Jones is part of a Thoroughbred racing dynasty. His father, Farrell Jones, first was a jockey and later a successful trainer with eight training titles at Santa Anita and 11 at Del Mar. Gary won a total of 15 race meet titles, including four at Santa Anita, where he still ranks sixth all time in wins with 576. Son, Marty, 42, trains on the Southern California circuit. The couple’s other son, Davey, is an attorney. Jones was working for his father, Farrell in 1974, when Farrell suffered a serious heart attack, forcing him to retire. The younger Jones, then 29, took over his father’s stable. “He gave me a full string of horses ready to run,” recalled Jones. “He (Farrell) had a record of 44 wins at Santa Anita (1970-71 season) and I won 47 (still a single-season record at Santa Anita) races that first year. I had owners standing in line.” During his career, spanning from 1975-1996, Jones saddled 1,465 winners from 7,900 starters for an 18.5 career win percentage. His runners earned $52,672,611 in purses. Jones trained 104 individual stakes winners, winning 223 stakes races. His best runners included Turkoman, voted an Eclipse Award as Champion Older Horse of 1986. Under Jones’ tutelage, Turkoman won the $500,000 Marlboro Cup (G1), the Oaklawn Handicap (G2) and the Widener Handicap (G1). Turkoman raced for Corbin J. Robertson’s Saron Stable. “Turkoman did not care about running,” said Jones. “I had to breeze him an eighth of a mile the morning of a race to let him know he was going to run,” said Jones, reminiscing about the great horses he trained. “Best Pal was so dependable.” Jones trained Best Pal to victories in the Santa Anita Handicap, Hollywood Gold Cup and Charles H. Strub, all Grade 1 events. Local racing fans remember Best Pal for his victory in the very first Pacific Classic at Del Mar on Aug. 10, 1991. Jones had taken over training duties for Best Pal not long before the inaugural Pacific Classic, Del Mar’s $1 million race. Best Pal was only 3 at the time, competing against runners aged 4 and 5. Earlier that year, Best Pal had finished second in the Kentucky Derby, 1 3/4 lengths behind Strike the Gold, for trainer Ian Jory. Best Pal, who raced for the Golden Eagle Farm of John and Betty Mabee, was voted into the Hall of Fame in 2010. “Best Pal was a mean son of a gun,” recalled Jones. “If you went into his stall, he was going to try to nail you, either bite or kick you. He bit Marty’s fingernail off.” “They didn’t get much more intense than Gary,” said Mac McBride, director of media for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “When he zeroed in, he was in all the way. He learned from his dad (Farrell) and he passed it on to his son (Marty). Those Jones boys have quite a training and racing history in Southern California.” In Jones’ early years, training horses was a hardscrabble life. Racing was a rough, tough way to make a living. Jones recalls living in a trailer under the Los Alamitos Grandstand

with his parents and his sister. “My parents would drive a long way to go match Quarter horses on the weekends. If they won, it was worth $25 or $50. If they tied, the trainers went into a stall and settled it with a fist fight.” A horse Jones recalls fondly was Larrikin, winner of the 1975 Del Mar Derby: “Larrikin was a personal favorite. He was a mean old son of a gun. He would try to savage (bite) another horse if one came alongside him in a race. When he retired because of injury, I saw to it that he had a home for life.” Jones recalled top stakes winner Fali Time, winner of the Grade I Norfolk and Hollywood Futurity, then a $1 million race. Fali Time ran in the 1984 Kentucky Derby: “He was a little bitty horse. He was the only horse to benefit from a change of position in the Kentucky Derby finish. Fali Time finished fifth after being bumped by Gate Dancer during the stretch run. The stewards disqualified Gate Dancer and moved Fali Time up to fourth.” Jones also trained Kostroma. She ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:43.92 seconds on Oct. 21, 1991, in the Las Palmas Handicap at Santa Anita, setting a track and world record that still stands. “I think anybody who works in a profession strives to be in the Hall of Fame for that profession,” smiled Jones, interviewed at his Del Mar home. “To be mentioned in the same breath with Charlie Whittingham and Laz Barrera (fellow Hall of Famers) is really special.”

We care deeply about the future of our community and of the Rancho Santa Fe Association. That’s why we were disturbed by recent events that resulted in the premature retirement of the Association’s long-time manager Pete Smith, due to the actions of removed Association President Ann Boon. Over the last few weeks, there has been considerable speculation about the reasons for Pete Smith’s departure. Here are the facts:

• The RSF Association Board annually determined that Pete Smith’s compensation was NOT out of line and was, in fact, consistent with the peer group for that position and level of experience. • An independent HR consulting firm, recently hired by the Association, agreed with this evaluation of Pete Smith’s current compensation. • The very best evaluation of Pete Smith has been made by Walt Ekard, who is a former RSF Association manager and is widely recognized as one of the most capable executives in regional government. Here is his analysis: “The leadership of Pete Smith is a prime reason why Rancho Santa Fe is unquestionably one of the finest communities in the world. For nearly 20 years, Pete has managed the Association and its high powered and sometimes challenging personalities with a firm but respectful hand. The respect Pete enjoys among decision-makers throughout the region has been of lasting and immeasurable benefit to the community. Most importantly, Pete is a man of great character whose reputation for integrity and honesty is well known and beyond reproach. There are not a lot of Pete Smiths around who are capable of leading an organization with the high standards and expectations that are held by members of the Association. The Association was in business for 70 years before they found someone of Pete Smith's caliber. It may wait another 70 to find his equal.” Walt Ekard Former Chief Administrative Officer County of San Diego

Ann & Kim

for Rancho Santa Fe Association Board

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Ready to Take Responsibility Kim Eggleston and Ann Boon are running for the Rancho Santa Fe Association Board and pledge to work towards improving transparency, community engagement, and fiscal prudence.

What We Will Do:

What We Will Not Do:

Commit to Open Government 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.

We Will Not Raise Association Dues No homeowners dues increases. PERIOD. We need to get spending under control, then INVEST in critical infrastructure.

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. 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.

AnnBoon.com

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.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MAY 15, 2014 - PAGE A21

Dear Neighbors, If we all agreed on everything, there would be no need for governance at all. The purpose of governance, and the purpose of my candidacy, is to embrace the diversity of opinion, and work together toward consensus. Three years ago I was elected on the simple promise to preserve and enhance this special community. During the last three years I have worked diligently toward that goal. I have studied the finances of the Association, asked many questions and proposed ways to keep financial discipline and transparency a cornerstone for building a better future. I have advocated openness in all Board and Association activities. And this year’s Board has made great strides in that direction. With enormous help from members, we have registered hundreds of new voters over the past few months. Managing annual budgets seems simple if we allow ourselves to dip into Community Enhancement Funds to balance operating budgets. But it is not sustainable in the long-term, or prudent in the eyes of fiscal discipline. With proper planning, there is no need to raise association dues for ANYONE, EVER. Planning for the future involves more complicated issues and strategies. We have completed a thorough revamping of our employee benefit package and are close to creating a permanent Compensation Committee. Perhaps the next Board will work with members to craft a truly comprehensive strategic plan as several residents have proposed and as Kim Eggleston and I are advocating. Now, after a year of dramatic change, we are at a historic crossroads in RSF. The former general manager has chosen to retire. Some in the community blame me for his departure, saying that I was unprofessional toward the Manager and asked too many hostile questions. Others appreciate my willingness to ask the tough questions, even if my asking made him and others uncomfortable. Some members have expressed concern over the departure of the Manager. They say that our community is much worse off without him. Perhaps they worry that their own power is diminished. Others see his departure as an opening for a greater number of our members to get involved in Association governance. The most important task before the Board now is to find a new Manager. This is an opportunity to take Rancho Santa Fe in a new direction. This does not mean changing the rural nature of the Covenant. This means planning for the future in a proactive way. Let’s look forward together and positively. We need to focus on the future of this community and how we best deploy our resources. Let’s keep the doors open and not revert back to the closed-door boards we've had in the past. Let’s keep the newly registered, energetic younger members involved while still including the older members who have brought so much good to this community over the years. It is easy for Board members and candidates to say they are for transparency and inclusiveness. It is far more difficult for some to put talking points into practice. I have taken unpopular steps and I do not regret them. You deserve an open government that truly wants you to be a part. That is why this election is so very important. Kim Eggleston and I will always work for what is best for the future of Rancho Santa Fe, even if it means doing the difficult or the unpopular in the short term. Rancho Santa Fe will have a great future --- if we work together.

Ann Boon

“Kim and I are committed to openness and honesty. There are two openings on the Board this year. You can vote for two candidates. With your help, I believe Kim and I can make a positive difference.”

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Q.E.D. — Proving it true in 13 days Straight Talk: Author and readers hardly imagined my “Straight Talk” letter (May 1) would be proven true in 13 days. The “Propaganda In Covenant” group proved once again that “retaining power and control was sometimes more important than community.” Sometimes? Always? Elections involve choices, qualifications, and issues. How we discuss issues says everything about us. Some have knowledge, others have presumed greater knowledge. PIC has controlled everything here for decades. Do they now talk of all the community enhancements they torpedoed in the past, issues, or plans for our future? No, they proved once again they must retain power. Hundreds of Covenant voters were recently emailed important election information: PIC decided you need to see legal papers and accusations from a contested divorce 15 years ago involving a candidate. A new low in dirty Covenant politics, that screams: “stay out, do not get involved.” Management: Only seven people in RSF supervise our manager. That relationship is private, sacred if you will. No member can direct staff or the manager, only the board. That relationship is so private that during my two years as VP, my oversight was limited to a brief read of the contract, notes prohibited. The president usually notified the board of a raise of x percent without discussion. Who knows the recent oversight? But only the seven directors are included in the manager-board relationship. Until See DAYS, page 23

Dereliction of Duty? The RSF Association Bylaws (Article 7) are very clear on the power and duties of the Association Manager. Section 7 regarding Compensation is also very clear in that “The Manager shall receive such compensation as the Board of Directors shall fix from time to time by agreement or resolution.” Board action is required for an agreement or resolution and they are all recorded in the board minutes of all meetings. It is not the responsibility of anyone except the board to make decisions on salaries and all other financial considerations. It may have advice from the Executive Committee or the Finance Committee, but the final say is the Board of Directors. If the minutes of prior board meetings do not show any official action taken on compensation matters, they have no approval. If there are considerations made without board approval, they are either invalid and/or possibly illegal. The primary function of the board is to be fiscally responsible. The board should also be aware of all matters of the Association business and their employees conduct. As our fiscal representatives they are also accountable for these matters. If the public wants to know about salaries, contracts, etc., they are entitled to that information. Remember this is our association and we pay the dues that run it. While people have asked for information on salaries See DUTY, page 23

Hubris

Hubris, pomposity, arrogance, presumption – call it what you want, but if the shoe fits, wear it. No, not if the shoe fits, but when the shoe fits! And it fits perfectly those few dog-walkers on the RSF golf course trails that feel although they pick up their dog’s excrement, they are too good to lug those little baggies to a proper disposal receptacle. The impression they give is that they must have somebody that they erroneously consider subservient to them – that follow them around and flush their own toilets for them. Crude? I don’t think so! Factual and imploring for something a little more sensitive to the environment, emphatically yes. Oh, by the way, to those so haughty, thank you for at least bagging the stuff. Robert M. Wood, DVM, Dr.PH RSF

Pete Smith: One member’s opinion In regards to Pete Smith’s salary I wanted to add a little past history and one person’s opinion: I served on the RSF Association board from 2008 through 2011 and as President in 2011. The great recession was in full bloom. During that time period Pete Smith volunteered not to have his base salary increased. This despite his long-standing contract that provided for CPI increases. Although there was no formal “compensation committee” in 2009/10, a committee was established to review Association employee salaries. In fact, a temporary freeze was placed on certain higher salaried employees. It was also determined that Pete Smith’s base salary was in line with most of what was considered to be his peer group (smaller city managers within San Diego County). We must also remember that many of these City Managers receive generous pension plans for life. While the Association contributes to a 401-type plan we do not have pension obligations once an employee is no longer employed by the Association. There was never an issue about having access to any and all information the committee (or members of the board) requested from the Association staff for the review. I firmly believe Mr. Smith served the Rancho Santa Fe Association with distinction and also worked above and beyond the requirements of the job. To witness him being maligned at the end of his career is totally unjust. All of us who served on the Association board since Pete was employed as Manager in 1996 had something to do with his salary review. I have zero regrets for my part. In my book Pete Smith earned every paycheck. Tom Lang

Pete Smith’s leadership has helped make RSF one of the finest communities in the world With the recent retirement of longtime Association Manager Pete Smith, I thought I would share some thoughts as a former Association Manager myself. The leadership of Pete Smith is a prime reason why Rancho Santa Fe is unquestionably one of the finest communities in the world. For nearly 20 years, Pete has managed the Association and its high powered and sometimes challenging personalities with a firm but respectful hand. Pete is bright, creative, highly motivated and probably the nicest and most sincere individual I’ve ever met in the public arena. The respect Pete enjoys among decision-makers throughout the region has been of lasting and immeasurable benefit to the community. Most importantly, Pete is a man of great character whose reputation for integrity and honesty is well known and beyond reproach. There are not a lot of Pete Smiths around who are capable of leading an organization with the high standards and expectations that are held by members of the Association. The Association was in business for 70 years before they found someone of Pete Smith’s caliber. It may wait another 70 to find his equal. I wish Pete and the Association the best of fortune in the days ahead. Walter Ekard Former Chief Administrative Officer County of San Diego

Long overlooked issues need to be addressed Our Association board is tasked with making prudent decisions with our money, hopefully with our best interests in mind. Board members must represent the membership and not their own agenda. Sometimes this doesn’t happen. The Osuna Ranch purchase is a case in point. As much as I treasure old adobes, I personally would not have voted to spend millions to buy one. The good news is that there was only one for sale at the time. How about the Garden Club? Currently we have the chance to either increase the board’s transparency or maintain what some might consider the good old boy mentality. Should a candidate’s endorsement by the Public Interest Committee (PIC) be reason enough to put an X next to their name? After all, PIC has been used to getting its way for years. I wouldn’t want anybody asking me pointed questions about high salaries or benefits or questionable Association investments either. Speaking of pointed questions, why would a board member in such a thankless position want to make waves or stir up trouble? This evidently happened after they ruffled some feathers and allegedly caused Pete Smith to lose 8 pounds. Don’t people have anything better to do? Maybe the boat of status quo needs to be rocked and issues too long overlooked addressed. After all, increased accountability and transparency can only be a boon to our overall success as a community. On a final note, I applaud Pete Smith for his speedy recovery from his mental anguish. I had no idea that he was so traumatized until I received a copy of his letter the PIC recently sent out along with an endorsement of their two candidates. You really can’t expect the responsibilities of an Association manager making only $290,000 to include dealing with lively discussions and uncomfortable situations. I do give him kudos for walking away from his job and taking a few months of paid medical leave with no notice. After all, he has put in his 23 years of service and deserves everything he can get. Fortunately I was pleased to read that he is putting his sick time to good use training for the upcoming America’s Finest City Half Marathon in August and the Carlsbad Triathlon this summer. May his event times be as quick as his recovery. Scott Jordan

Property tax bill error: what happened, what next BY MARSHA SUTTON Following last week’s column on the property Marsha tax bill erSutton ror caused jointly by the San Dieguito Union High School District and the county of San Diego, left unsaid was how it happened and what’s in place moving forward to ensure it never happens again. San Dieguito’s $449 million general obligation bond, which passed by a narrow margin last fall, promised a maximum tax of $25 per $100,000 in property value. But the tax bill issued to all property owners in the San Dieguito district assessed $37.50 per $100,000. The amount that would have had to be refunded, had the county and district not managed to revise and mail corrected tax bills before the due date, would have been about $7 million. The error on the original property tax bill, mailed last fall, was first discovered and reported in this column on Oct. 24. Rick Schmitt, SDUHSD superintendent, explained in an interview that the bond instructions for the county as the fiscal agent called for $160 million to be transferred to the school district and $8 million in premiums to stay with the county. Instead, the county transferred the $8 million to the district along with the $160 million, and the $8 million sat unnoticed in a special school district account for six months. Schmitt said mistakes were acknowledged on both sides. SDUHSD should have seen the $8 million and realized it was in the wrong place, and district staff didn’t read the bond instructions properly. The county, for its part, erred by sending the $8 million to the district in the first place, and county staff should have noticed it and asked for it back, he said. “This [$8 million] was transferred to us but should have gone into the sinking fund on the day of the closing,” SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services Eric Dill said, calling that “an oversight on our side where we could have caught this in advance.”

Also, when the county asked the district where the funds should be transferred to, Dill said he didn’t realize that also meant the premium. “I believe they should have known where to transfer the funds because it was in the closing instructions,” Dill said. “But when the funds were received by us, we should have noticed that and we didn’t. “That ultimately was how they calculated the higher amount, because the funds weren’t sitting in the county treasury for them to consider as available.” Dill in an understatement called it “a long and complicated issue.” Two departments at the county were involved in discussions on the issue – the auditor/ controller’s office and the tax collector’s office. “While there is clear duty to check and recheck and double-check and triple-check numbers, sometimes the processes don’t happen,” said county Treasurer/Tax Collector Dan McAllister, whose department issues property tax bills based on numbers provided by the auditor/ controller. “We’re a large organization; the school district’s a large organization,” he said. “To think that mistakes don’t sometimes get made is sadly not true.” Looking ahead Both the county and the school district are anxious to focus on the future and how to use this unprecedented debacle to improve and streamline the property tax assessment process going forward. Dill said he and the team at the county had many conversations working through what happened, how it happened, “and most importantly how to make sure this doesn’t happen again.” In an email, Dill explained that the county is working on a standardized agreement for all districts to use, rather than each district drafting its own and negotiating the language with the county. “That will help standardize how they interpret and handle funds as they flow in and out of the county treasury,” he wrote. “That should also save legal fees.” A prior notification to each agency in advance of setting the tax rates to cover debt service will give agencies the chance to review the proposed tax bill before it is acted on by the board of supervisors, Dill said. He said his district’s incorrect billing could have been prevented had he seen the tax rate in advance before it was calculated, printed and mailed. “They now realize that it is a good practice to implement a notice to each one of the public agencies that they will be taking tax rates to the board of supervisors for approval, so that we have a chance to review that before the board of supervisors sees it,” Dill said. Also, he said the treasurer’s office is creating standardized forms, “because they realized that every single bond issuer out there … they all create their own documents. They’re all different because they’re created by different attorneys.” The purpose is to provide consistency and a standard template. This will save the district money, Dill said, because San Dieguito won’t have to pay to draft everything from scratch. When the district issues its next series of bonds, “it will save us some legal fees,” he said. Dill said the county “is flipping it around, saying, ‘If you want us to be your paying agent, here’s our standard form. If you need to make changes, we can talk about that. But let’s just start with something that we all know and understand.’ So that’s a good thing.” Part of the difficulty, McAllister said, is that the general obligation bond process is too complex and cumbersome, as new language for each iteration is added by attorneys to avoid prior problems. “It’s fed by mistakes from the past,” he said. “I think things could probably be done more simply in many instances.” “That’s why I think you need checks and balances,” McAllister said. Although the county and school district agreed to share blame for this error, McAllister suggested that perhaps it’s not only the agencies that are responsible. “I would suggest that there is a responsibility on the part of taxpayers to check their bills, read their bills, and understand what they’re getting billed for, particularly in this era of more and more special districts issuing bonds for a variety of things,” he said. McAllister was pleased that systems would soon be in place to prevent similar problems in the future, for all the county’s public agencies, not just San Dieguito. “That’s one of the great byproducts of this whole exercise,” he said. Positive relationship Schmitt acknowledged that the district made mistakes, and supported the district’s payment of $80,000 to the county to partially pay for the $183,000 total cost associated with generating letters, refunds and corrected tax bills. “It was an oversight on our part,” Schmitt said. “We need to take responsibility for that.” But he applauded the SDUHSD and county staff for amiably working together to sort out the problems and find solutions. He said this collaborative interaction has cemented a positive relationship between the school district and the county. “I see government agencies arguing with each other, suing each other, blaming each other,” Schmitt said at the May 1 school board meeting where the payment to the county was discussed. “Our community expects us to work together and collaborate. “Most of our energy was spent working with the county for our community and for our taxpayers. It took a little bit of effort, a little bit of time, and quite honestly as you’ve heard tonight a little bit of money.” Dill also commended the county staff and McAllister in particular, saying, “We had a very good relationship with the treasurer’s office before, but it is much stronger today, having gone through this together and come out the other side.”

For the next series of bonds, Dill said the district has a good partner at the county. Although the error was certainly embarrassing and unfortunate, it appears the situation generated an improved relationship between San Dieguito and the county of San Diego and will result in better methods for property tax calculations and streamlined procedures with much-needed checks and balances. And since I discovered and reported the error, many property owners, and not just from the San Dieguito district, have contacted me to say they plan to examine their tax bills more closely in the future. So it is true that, as a result of this fiasco, many taxpayers have taken a closer look at their bills, are questioning the various charges, and are comparing current bills with past bills. So I suppose that can be counted as another positive development. Despite the encouraging outcomes, this was an unprecedented occurrence that could have resulted in a major financial and political mess for both the school district and the county. Yet both agencies speak almost exclusively about the upsides and sound as if they were almost grateful it happened. The spin on this near-disaster has made me dizzy. One would think it’s almost as if this $7 million mistake were a good thing … but not quite. Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

DAYS continued from page 22 now. Confrontation Politics: Also emailed this week to Covenant residents was a handwritten letter from the manager to a board member on Feb. 10; the same day the ex-president asked the manager for his compensation information. Q.E.D. – That letter along with the ugly “demand” letter of Feb. 12 proves a violation occurred. The violation? A board member and/or the manager violated the private nature of the board-manager relationship and brought in over 30 non-board members into the matter. That is when things spun out of control. That is the mismanagement. Asking for information is doing one’s job. Summary: Since February we have heard a drumbeat about “confrontation.” The confrontation in February was created by those using it now for political gain. Instead of the matter being discussed and quietly handled by the seven board members having that responsibility, a pack was brought into an Executive Session matter. The PIC pack should not have even known that issue was pending. That is bad management. “We can do better.” Bill Strong (Strong was on the RSF Association Board 2001-04, two years as VP

over the years, nothing has been forthcoming. Now we are wondering if there is any documentation of approval for salaries, and why wasn’t there any accountability if that was the case? Board members have a serious job much like any other publicly elected official. If you assume everything is running okay and not asking questions, you probably are either naïve or inept. If something is broke, we try to fix it. Well, we need some fixing in Rancho Santa Fe so let’s get it done. Enough of thinking that being on the board is a social function, let’s get some real answers and get the job done by people with management skills, accountability and reliability. P.S. What we don’t need are the nasty name-callers and self described investigators to dig up dirt. If you can’ t say something nice, don’t say it at all. This is a small town, let’s keep it friendly.

Portions of Rancho Santa Fe were also being evacuated at that time, according to area agencies. ***** The Del Mar Fairgrounds opened its stables to horses evacuated due to a wildfire that broke out near 4S Ranch in North San Diego County on May 13. Fairgrounds general manager Tim Fennell said about 200 horses had been moved to stables on the horse park property, which is east of the main fairgrounds, as of Tuesday afternoon. Thousands of homes had been evacuated from communities, including 4S Ranch, Santaluz, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have horses on the way,â&#x20AC;? Fennell said during the board meeting of the 22nd Agricultural Association on Tuesday afternoon. The 22nd DAA operates the stateowned fairgrounds, which has been used as an evacuation center for horses and other livestock during previous wildfires. Fennell said only a limited number of horses could be sheltered at the horse park property because of a major horse show underway at the facility. But he said the stables at the main fairgrounds property â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where the annual horse racing meet is held â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were also being opened for livestock evacuations. The annual San Diego County Fair will be held at the fairgrounds beginning June 7. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reported by Joe Tash

Mother’s Day With the Brown Padres BY JACKSON SLOSAR, AGE 6 Last Sunday, it was awesome because it was Mother’s Day. It was a strange day for a baseball game, but we played anyway. I’m on the Brown Padres. I can’t remember who we played or what the score was, but I’m pretty sure we won. My sisters had a Mom spa for our Moms with back massages and a foot thingy. My other sister served Moms food, sushi, chips and drinks. At the end of the game, we played baseball against our Moms. That was fun, but we didn’t get to bat so that was no fair. Just the Moms batted. We gave our Moms roses and a signed baseball. We hope our Moms had fun. Courtesy photos

es. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We drafted very personable players, we picked people that we thought would interact on a more intimate level and make it fun for fans,â&#x20AC;? Geyser said. Geyser said he recalled his days growing up in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tennis worldâ&#x20AC;? and stressed that the Aviators are a way to keep that going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important) to build a local following so kids can come out and dream of playing for their hometown team,â&#x20AC;? Kloss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want this team to be a part of the community year-round.â&#x20AC;? King said that was what it was like for her as a young tennis player in Southern California, getting to see the pros play up close. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I saw Althea Gibson play as a child, I wanted to be number one in the world. I saw her and knew how good I had to be,â&#x20AC;? King said.

To develop more U.S. champions she said there really needs to be more highlevel tennis in this country, and World TeamTennis and owners like Geyser are truly investing in the sport and building its future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to help our delivery system at the grassroots level,â&#x20AC;? King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get rid of the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lesson.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Put kids on a teamâ&#x20AC;Śit creates a whole different relationship with players, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special bond that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the individual. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Kloss said the innovative league really mirrors Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy in life, of men and women working together as a team. After opening against the Aces, the Aviators will host the Philadelphia Freedoms (Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team) on July 8 and will have a special ceremony to honor her. All matches begin at 7 p.m. except for the July 20 match, which begins at 5 p.m. For tickets or more information, visit sandiegoaviators.com.

LETTER continued from page 1

a retraction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, your letter crossed the line by making false and defamatory statements about Mrs. Boon,â&#x20AC;? wrote Hoy. The letter went on to discuss laws regarding libel, and noted that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of specific import to your letter, opinions that carry with them the implication of acts of misconduct are actionable.â&#x20AC;? It concluded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of Mrs. Boon you are requested to retract your false statements about her. A retraction letter is enclosed for your signature. Mrs. Boon will take no legal action based on the Feb. 12, 2014 letter to the Board against any co-author who signs and delivers the enclosed retraction.â&#x20AC;? A number of the people who signed the original letter to the Association board then hired their own attorney to respond to Hoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter. Attorney S. Todd Neal wrote on March 7 that Boon, by assuming the position of Association board president, was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;public fig-

ure.â&#x20AC;? Therefore, to prevail in a libel action, Boon would have to prove â&#x20AC;&#x153;actual maliceâ&#x20AC;? by those who wrote the letter to the Association, meaning the authors had â&#x20AC;&#x153;knowledge, or reckless disregard, of the falsityâ&#x20AC;? of their statements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In light of the obvious legal defects attendant to Mrs. Boonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threatened claims, it would be a serious and grave error for her to initiate legal action because she will lose and she will end up paying the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fees and costs of approximately twenty-five defendants,â&#x20AC;? wrote Neal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are extremely confident that a court would find that our Clients were engaged in constitutionally protected free speech by virtue of signing the letter to the Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Directors.â&#x20AC;? Two people who signed the original letter to the Association, former Association board members Bill Hinchy and Jim Ashcraft, said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to sign a retraction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe we have the right to express our opinion on things we see our elected officials do, without the threat of some-

one suing us. It has to do with our Constitution, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as simple as that,â&#x20AC;? said Hinchy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will not bend on threat of a lawsuit to change my opinion,â&#x20AC;? said Ashcraft. Hinchy said he would like Boon to say whether she intends to pursue the matter further. On March 5, her attorney wrote in an email to Neal that said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs. Boon has not withdrawn her demand for a retraction and has no intention of doing so. We look forward to receiving your response.â&#x20AC;? That is the last communication that he or other signers of the letter have received, Hinchy said. The situation is causing anxiety for those who received the letter from Boonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney requesting a retraction, Hinchy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bothersome thing to know someone out there is threatening to sue you, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, or they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to do it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a floating piece of trouble,â&#x20AC;? Hinchy said. Boon, who is running for a new three-year term on the board in this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association election, said

she is limited in what she can say about the issue, and noted she has already made public statements about the original letter to the Association board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their letter had false statements in it. And I thought the inaccuracies should be corrected, which is what I said,â&#x20AC;? Boon said. In spite of the potential for legal action implied in her attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter, Boon said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not suing and I am not threatening to sue.â&#x20AC;? When asked, however, what she would do if the letterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign retractions, she reiterated that she would not add to what she has already said publicly on the matter. Ashcraft said he believes the letter by Boonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney was intended to silence a part of the community critical of Boonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance on the board. But he said the effort at intimidation is not working. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this. We may not agree, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we sue people over a difference of opinion,â&#x20AC;? Ashcraft said.

Nick Krnich

May 13th, 2014

Dear Neighbor, A number of folks have asked who I support for the HOA Board. While I did not originally intend to give an endorsement, recent personal attacks and negative campaigning have convinced me to share my sentiments. Our Covenant deserves civility. Unfortunately, two of the candidates are inextricably tied to a small group of members who have exercised power over this community through secrecy, fear, and smear. The other two, Kim Eggleston and Ann Boon, have called for a more open and inclusive Rancho Santa Fe.

I support Ann and Kim's dedication to transparency, inclusiveness, and fiscal responsibility and am endorsing their candidacy for Rancho Santa Fe Association Board. I started getting involved in communicating to our community because of the strange voter registration requirements. My simple efforts to correspond with my neighbors were subjected to censorship and ridicule. Now, I see hurtful and personal attacks on Kim Eggleston and Ann Boon. My news website will remain an open forum for all community members to use, subject to basic rules of etiquette. http://ranchosantafeassociation.com/ But as a matter of transparency and sincerity, I am publicly announcing that I endorse Ann and Kim for the Board. The fact that Ann and Kim are independent and not "interviewed and pre-approved candidatesâ&#x20AC;? is refreshing and a determining factor in my decision. Best Regards,

Expert discusses advances in methods to distinguish between authentic and fake art

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Authenticating works of art, and sometimes revealing fakes, sounds like the basis for a dramatic movie plot. For Florence native Maurizio Seracini, it’s his business. Through his company Great Masters Art Authentication, LLC, Seracini – a scientist and art expert – analyzes paintings and architecture using state-of-the art technology to not only distinguish the genuine from the fake, but to also show iterations that a work of art or a building often undergoes. On Thursday April 30, Seracini gave an informative presentation on these findings at Rancho Santa Fe’s The Village Church as guest lecturer in the Village Viewpoints series (presented by the Village Church and RSF Foundation). Seracini focused on Renaissance masterpieces by Da Vinci, his “ Adoration of the Magi” and “The Last Supper,” and Botticelli’s “Allegory of Spring” illustrating graphically how much is hidden under the surface. Using multi-spectral diagnostic imaging artworks reveal secrets not apparent to the naked eye. In many cases, the artists’ under-drawings are visible providing clues to his creative process, explained Seracini. “This technology can change not only our understanding, but especially our appreciation, of these masterpieces,” said Seracini in an interview after the presentation. It can also reveal forgeries or how much restoration has been done and what has been lost in the process. “Maurizio was able to show that oftentimes restorers change the painting so that portions of the original artwork are replaced with other images,” said Paige Vanosky, who attended the lecture and is co-chair of the Viewpoint’s program. “When they do keep the original art often the same paint hue isn’t used, and coatings used to preserve the work often change the colors that eat into the art,” she added. There were over 20 Advance Placement art history students from Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) in the Viewpoints audience. “They told me afterward that Maurizio’s presentation greatly enhanced their perception of the artists and the work that they were studying in class, and that they were going to dig deeper into it,” said Vanosky. Seracini sees his relationship with his student audiences as an opportunity for him to not only share his knowl-

(L-R) Ava Domann, Angela Jackson, Maurizio Seracini, Julia Domann. Photo by Diane Welch edge, but to also feed his own passion and to feel that he is not “fighting a lost battle” with his findings. A week after his Viewpoints presentation Seracini gave a lecture in CCA’s Proscenium Theatre. He was invited to speak by twin sophomore students Ava and Julia Domann who introduced him. In part of this lecture Seracini showed the latest technology of soft-touch pressure tablets where an art or architectural image may be touched by finger pressure to erase the upper layers to reveal the secrets beneath. “Rather than being a passive viewer you can now appreciate and understand the art first hand as it was created,” he told students. Since the mid-1970s, Seracini has pioneered the science of art diagnostics, employing a

wide array of technologies more common in the biomedical field. That’s when he began the “Leonardo Project” to locate Da Vinci’s long-lost fresco “The Battle of Anghiari,” an endeavor that still remains a personal passion. This treasure hunt has been temporarily halted by the City of Florence where the famed fresco is purported to be hidden in one of the interior walls of the Hall of 500 in the Palazzo Vecchio. “It is so important that we continue to search for this ultimate icon as it is the most important masterpiece ever conceived by Da Vinci. It is an absolute symbol of beauty and is the highest expression of his genius,” said Seracini. A world traveler, with strong ties to San Diego, Seracini has taught audiences from kindergartners to adults. His lectures to children are a way “to generate some sparks in their mind, to feed their imagination, to raise their curiosity” he said. “It’s rewarding for me, more than you might think.” On the broader specSee ART, page B26

If you Snooze, you’ll never lose BY KELLEY CARLSON hen Snooze opened in Del Mar last fall, it didn’t take long for locals to wake up and take notice. On a typical day, this mainly breakfastoriented eatery is buzzing with activity, as people relax over steaming cups of organic java and a hearty meal. Some bring their dogs and soak up the sun on the patio; others find comfort in the “retro-future” dining room’s crescent-shaped booths. Guests won’t find much in the way of “standard” morning fare here, though. “We do a creative twist on food compared to the everyday breakfast,” General Manager JD explained. For instance, there’s the classic Eggs Benedict dish, but in six variations, all with house-made Hollandaise. One is the savory Southwestern-themed Chilaquiles Benedict, which features layers of thick tortillas and ranchero sauce that’s piled with shredded barbacoa beef, roasted poblano Hollandaise, pico de gallo, cotija cheese and poached, cage-free eggs — a fiesta of flavors. There are a number of other egg entrees, as well. Three-egg omelets are up to one’s imagination, filled with vegetables, meats and cheeses. A staff favorite is the Green Eggs

■ This week’s recipe:

Snooze’s Green Eggs and Hamwich and Hamwich, a ciabatta roll filled with Niman ham, eggs scrambled with spinach and herbs, and melted Swiss. It’s served with Dijon hollandaise and hash browns. Yet another example where Snooze’s creativity shines is the pancakes. The chefs dream up something new on a daily basis, ranging from rich and decadent (such as Oreo Cream and Peanut Butter Cream) to fruity (Apple, etc.). Or, there are mainstays, which include the signature Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes with caramelized pineapple

The Pancake Flight includes three flavors: Peanut Butter Cup Pancake, Caramel Apple Pancake and OMG! French Toast.

Green Eggs and Hamwich consists of a ciabatta roll with ham, scrambled eggs, spinach, melted Swiss and Dijon hollandaise sauce. chunks, vanilla creme anglaise and cinnamon butter. Patrons who think everything sounds delicious can find satisfaction in the Pancake Flight, which includes three flavors of their choosing. One sweet trifecta is the Peanut Butter Cup; the Caramel Apple, akin to an apple pie on a pancake with cinnamon apple slices, crumbles and a pat of butter; and the OMG! French Toast, featuring brioche stuffed with mascarpone that’s topped with salted caramel, vanilla creme and agave-soaked strawberries, and

garnished with toasted coconut. There are a few brunch options, as well. Among them: the Peter Paul Rubens sandwich, composed of corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and house-made Thousand Island dressing, stacked in a plump pretzel roll; and the Winter Greens, a combination of prosciutto, Gala apples, goat cheese, candied walnuts and apple cider vinaigrette. The restaurant even puts unique touches on its beverages. Snooze infuses its own vodkas for use in its Bloody Marys, and customizes “barista cocktails” that range from dirty chais and flat whites to lattes and cappuccinos. There are mimosas concocted with house juices, and an Orange Snoozius with vodka, orange liqueur, orange juice and whipped cream. Yet, traditional drinks are available, too, such as the house-blend coffee that is made from beans grown in Guatemala. Along with such innovative cuisine, JD attributes Snooze’s friendly atmosphere as a reason customers are drawn to the eatery. “We like to treat our guests like they’re family members,” JD said. “The food is also above and beyond what is required from guests. We feel like Snooze is doing the talking for us.”

Guests can choose to dine in Snooze’s bright and airy dining room or outside patio in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON

Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theatre Department to present six unique one-act plays BY ROB LEDONNE The theater department at Canyon Crest Academy has been buzzing with anticipation over its upcoming show dubbed “S’plantation,” which consists of six one-act plays written and directed by senior members of the school’s Conservatory Theater Department. “It’s an exciting time for these students with all they’re accomplishing,” said Amy Blatt, the Envision Theatre coordinator and a drama teacher at Canyon Crest Academy. “We do this festival every May, and it’s very intensive. It gives the students directing experience, since the majority of the conservatory program is focused on acting training.” The odd name, “S’Plantation,” is a nod to Carmel Valley’s Souplantation eatery. “I asked the six senior directors what they wanted to call the festival,” explained Blatt of the name’s origins. “They figured Souplantation was a hub of inspiration, since they’ve had many meetings and brainstorms there. So they ran with it.” This year’s collection of one-act plays are each between 10 and 20 minutes long, and span multiple genres, including comedy, drama, experimental, musical, and even the existential. “Audiences should definitely look forward to a variety of diverse performances,” Blatt said. “Not one of the six oneacts are like another. The only common theme throughout all of them is that you’ll be entertained.” The festival has been a work in progress throughout the year for the Envision Theatre Department at Canyon Crest Academy. Members started brainstorming ideas

months ago, held auditions, and had nights of arduous rehearsals to fine-tune every moment. Actress Annika Patton, a sophomore at Canyon Crest, appears in senior Grace Condon’s play “Friendzoned Anonymous,” a comedic one-act which centers on a group of people who’ve been “friendzoned” (which is slang for the dreaded limbo period in between a friendship and relationship). “I play a character named Ruth, who’s not getting the love she wants. As a result, she falls in love with a man who works at a donut shop,” explained Patton of the role, which Condon wrote with her in mind. “It’s very funny. As a student here, we have the opportunity to appear in the senior shows. I’ve known Grace since last year, and I feel really lucky to be in her one-act.” Overall, Patton reports rehearsals have been going “great. We’ve been at it for about four weeks or so. It’s so much fun working with Grace; she’s a great director. We do a lot of improv exercises as well (during rehearsal), so it makes for some laugh-outloud moments.” Aside from “Friendzoned Anonymous,” other shows include Troy Lingelbach’s “Fingerpaint” (an experimental one act about “human contact through the elements”); Ben Sutton’s capitalism musical “Down Wind and Out of Sight”; Jerrin Padre’s friendship dramedy “The Adventures of Finn and June”; Nicole Belinsky’s comedy “Maybe We Should Go”; and “It’s Nearly Finished” by Mark Steitz, “An existential exploration of the absurdity that would ensue as a result of apocalyptic desolation and the relationship dynamics that keep people to-

gether in dialogue.” The overriding point to the one-act shows is to send graduating seniors off with one final taste of the camaraderie at the Canyon Crest theater department. Blatt estimates that most (if not all) of the students featured are going on to study various forms of entertainment at college in the fall. “I’ve been observing the rehearsal process, doing rotations and seeing how they’re exploring and discovering how to become directors,” said Blatt. “From everything I’ve seen so far, I’m just really proud of them.” The Canyon Crest Senior One-Act Festival “S’Plantation” takes place on May 23 and 24, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at CCA’s Black Box Theatre.

Cedros Avenue to launch new website in time for summer BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to encourage local residents and tourists to sip, sample and shop on Cedros Avenue this summer, the Design District is ramping up its social media presence and launching a new website. “There are so many different things on the street,” said Cindy Cruz, who serves as president of the Cedros Avenue Merchant’s Association, of which nearly 50 of the more than 85 businesses on the street belong. “There’s something for everyone.” Home to architects, builders and designers, Cedros Avenue Design District in Solana Beach also features two-and-ahalf blocks of boutiques, galleries, cafes, salons and day spas. With a website at www.cedrosavenue.com and a presence on Facebook and Twitter, Cedros Avenue has a new account on Instagram. In the coming months, the Cedros Avenue Merchant’s Association is launching a new website at www.shopcedros.com to attract even more visitors to the North County destination. The new site will inform visitors about the history of the street and showcase new shops. It will also include a directory of the shops, with direct links to the businesses. “We want everyone to see who we are,” said Cruz, who owns Leaping Lotus. Located at 240 South Cedros Ave., the 21,000-square-foot store features more than 120 merchants. In the early 1950s, the street was home to defense contractor Bill Jack, who built the Quonset hut structures that now house businesses on Cedros Avenue. In 1974, Dave Hodges opened the Belly Up Tavern, which helped put South Cedros Avenue on the map and has continued to be the area’s premier live music venue. Sidewalks were installed in the early 1980s, and in 1997, the street’s signature arches were designed and installed to echo the curved silhouette of the Quonset huts on Cedros Avenue. The Cedros Design District Association formed in the early 1990s, bringing together property owners and merchants. “Cedros has kept hold of the charm that it’s always had, but it’s changing every day, too,” Cruz said. “It’s really a

neat place to stroll.” Over the years, mainstay businesses have helped the avenue retain its character, while new shops have helped the street keep up with the latest trends. Formerly a roller-skating rink, the Antique Warehouse was transformed in 1982 into a 15,000-square-foot mall of antiques, collectibles and memorabilia. One of the oldest

shops on the street, Solana Beach Art & Frame, has served the community since 1992. The avenue’s eateries include locally-inspired menu items at Lockwood Table and a variety of vegetarian options at Zinc Café. Carruth Cellars launched its Solana Beach winery and tasting room on the street four years ago. Culture Brewing Co. opened its microbrewery and tasting room just last year. From 1-5 p.m. on Sundays, the Solana Beach Farmers Market offers locally-grown fruits, vegetables, fresh-cut flowers and more at the south end of the street. The market’s food court opens for lunch at noon. “It’s not just a community of businesses; it’s a community of personalities and people who are our neighbors,” Cruz said. “We all care for each other and support what everybody’s doing.” For more information about Cedros Avenue, visit www. cedrosavenue.com, www.facebook.com/CedrosAve, twitter. com/CedrosAvenue and instagram.com/cedrosavenue.

Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s ‘Day at the Races’ returns July 27 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Promising a fun-filled day at the racetrack for a good cause, the Lung Cancer Foundation of America will host its fifth annual “Day at the Races” event July 27 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Tickets cost $150 and include entry into the private Turf Club, a tour of the paddock area and a private betting window. The event will also feature a special “Breath of Life” race to raise awareness about lung cancer and support lung cancer research, as well as a silent auction and raffle drawing. “It’s just a really fun event for a really good cause,” said Kim Norris, co-founder and president of the Lung Cancer Foundation of America. Lung cancer is the nation’s top cancer killer, yet it ranks near the bottom in research funding. To raise awareness of lung cancer and funds for research, Norris co-founded the nonprofit organization in 2007 with David Sturges, an attorney in Minnesota, and Lori Monroe, a registered nurse in Kentucky — both lung cancer survivors. After a 12-year battle with the disease, Monroe died in 2013. After losing her husband, Roy, to lung cancer in 1999, Norris devoted her life to being a lung cancer patient advocate. She remains a volunteer with the organization, which has raised about $1.3 million for lung cancer research since it first launched. “Lung cancer kills twice as many women as breast cancer and three times as many men as prostate cancer, yet it only gets a fraction of the funding,” said Norris, who previously worked as a management consultant for Fortune 500

Photo by Semantha Norris companies for 30 years. “Not only am I proud of the money we have raised and the research we have funded, but almost more so, I’m proud of the role that we play within the lung cancer community.

California State Button Society Annual Show & Sale to be held May 17-18 The California State Button Society Annual Show & Sale will be held Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, May 18, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Town & Country Hotel & Convention Center, 500 Hotel Circle North, San Diego. Button dealers will have thousands of buttons for sale, and there will be exhibits by button club members. For more information visit the CSBS website at www.cabutton.org.

We’re kind of a connective tissue between the lung cancer research community and the lung cancer community of survivors, families and the general public.” Former Rancho Santa Fe resident and lung cancer survivor Paula Friendly, a longtime supporter of the foundation and horseracing enthusiast, started “Day at the Races” five years ago. Her late husband, Hollywood producer Ed Friendly, was a founding member of the National Thoroughbred Association and established the Thoroughbred Owners of California in 1993. Last year, actress and lung cancer advocate Valerie Harper attended the event, which attracted about 80 people.

“To make a difference, we need people to get involved and engaged,” Norris said. “This is a wonderful way to learn more about lung cancer and learn more about ways you can get involved with like-minded people who have been through the same thing.” The “Day at the Races” event will take place from noon to 6:30 p.m. July 27 in the Il Palio Restaurant at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Races begin at 2 p.m. To inquire about tickets or sponsorships, contact Cindy Iker at ciker@lcfamerica.org.

Internationally-recognized as lead guitarist in Paul McCartneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Band, Wings, Laurence Juber has played with three of the Beatles. Juber, known to his fans as LJ, has released 22 solo albums. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under an Indigo Sky,â&#x20AC;? his most recent is a jazz/ blues-tinged studio album that was mixed at Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legendary Capitol Studios and first released only on vinyl. His concurrent release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Catch LJ Live!,â&#x20AC;? is a two-disc combo that captures one exciting solo concert performance in 5.1 video and on CD. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LJ Plays The Beatlesâ&#x20AC;? was voted one of Acoustic Guitar Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time Top Ten albums.

SUMMER CAMPS 2014

First summer robotics camp for elementary school students offered at Canyon Crest Academy BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy will offer its first robotics camp for elementary school students this summer, led by alumni and student volunteers. The camp will run in five weekly sessions from June 30 through Aug. 4. The camp idea came from brainstorming CCA robotics team members and alumni mentor Tyler Carter, who five years ago was a founding member of the Aluminum Narwhals robotics team. For the last three years, Carter has volunteered as a mentor for CCA’s robotics teams. “We want to inspire fifth and sixth graders to be interested in science, technology engineering and math,” said Carter. He said many students that age don’t get the chance to be exposed to robotics in school so this is a way to introduce them and get them prepared and excited for the next level. Throughout the week, kids will work together to build “awesome” robots that can complete intricate tasks and compete against each other in competitions. Campers will also work with mentors to build a high school-style robot, learning new scientific and engineering principles, as well as have fun creating something that can fire off tennis balls. Around 18 student volunteers from CCA’s robotics program are signed up to help Carter and fellow lead mentor Garrison Price, another CCA graduate who is pursuing computer science at San Diego State University. Price was the student mentor for the Narwhals, as well as CCA’s FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team, de.evolution, that competed in the world championship robotics tournament in St. Louis in April. The camp is being run through the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, with profits going back into the school’s science, technology, engineering and robotics

Mission Bay Aquatic Center Watersports Camp The Watersports Camp, held at SDSU and UC San Diego’s Mission Bay Aquatic Center, is a YMCA-sponsored camp offering exciting and educational camps, including wakeboarding, surfing, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, marine science and stand-up paddling.

Spring break camps run March 31-April 11 and summer camp starts June 9. Full-day and half-day camp options are available. Register online at watersportscamp.com or call at (858) 539-2003.

Canyon Crest Academy sophomore Maya Ziv and alumni robotics team mentor Tyler Carter will be part of a new robotics camp at the school this summer. Photo by Karen Billing programs. Since Carter’s days at CCA, the robotics program has steadily grown. CCA has about 120 students involved in robotics across campus — they have four FIRST robotics teams as well as a robotics course where students in the course learn how to design, build and program robots on the NXT-Tetrix program. Carter’s interest in science started when he was young — since he was 13 years old he has been a computer programmer and had multiple job offers before he even graduated high school. He is currently in the midst of pursuing a degree in business administration and after that will consider getting a computer science degree or his teaching credential.

Tax Strategies That Can Save You Money If you are not waiting for K1s from private investments, most likely, you just ﬁnished your 2013 taxes; the last thing you want to do is start thinking about next year’s taxes. However, now, at the beginning of the year, is a good time to start thinking about your 2014 tax return because it’s possible that you can start implementing some practices that can save you money. After all, according to one estimate, the U.S. government retains an additional $1 billion each year because of mistakes made by tax ﬁlers. Unclaimed refunds alone in 2010 added up to $760 million. How many of you were looking forward to a

nice tax refund? The truth is that it’s actually better not to receive a tax refund. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but a refund means that you withheld too much money, allowing the government keep your money interest-free for the whole year. Instead of withholding money so that you can receive that refund, you should adjust your W-4 so you receive more money in your actual paycheck. You don’t want to adjust it so much that you actually owe taxes either— the money-smart thing to do is have your withholdings match your tax obligations. You also don’t want to miss out on any possible deductions. For example, there are many more deductions you can get from your home than just the interest on your mortgage. You can deduct all the points paid to get your mortgage, and depending on your income, you may be able to deduct your mortgage insurance premiums. You may also be eligible for tax credits for any energy-saving home improvements you make, such as solar panels, insulation, and energy-efﬁcient windows. When you sell your home, your taxable gain isn’t simply the sale price minus the purchase price. You can also subtract certain closing costs and selling costs. Selling costs may include real

estate broker commissions, title insurance, legal fees, advertising costs, administrative costs, escrow fees, and inspection fees. You can also subtract certain purchase expenses, the cost of capital improvements, any depreciation, and casualty losses or insurance payments. But most of all, if you and your spouse sell a home you have lived in for two out of the ﬁve years you have owned it, you can shelter up to $500,000 in taxes on the sale of the home ($250,000 for single home owners). There are also deductions for starting a family, college, retirement, divorce, and running a business that you should discuss with your tax planner if applicable. Most investors automatically reinvest mutual fund dividends. By using that strategy, your money is quickly reinvested and does not sit idle. In addition, you are effectively dollar cost averaging which can reduce volatility. But you will pay taxes twice on those dividends if you don’t remember to increase your tax basis for that mutual fund. You ﬁrst pay taxes when the dividends are paid out. If you don’t increase your tax basis, you pay taxes on the dividends again when you sell your shares. So keeping track of dividend payments is essential. If you are starting a business this year, you

will definitely want to talk to your tax planner about setting it up so that you can avoid double taxation on dividends. When profits are distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends, the corporation has already paid taxes on that profit, but the shareholders are also taxed on those profits on the individual level. Setting your company up as an LLC or S corporation might be your solution. Many investors have burned through any carry-forward losses and deductions from the recession and may now be looking for new ways to offset ordinary income. One strategy, if you are investing in startup businesses, is to become more actively involved in the business to benefit from any deductible expenses. If you have any investment-related debt, properly tracing the interest on the debt to specific investments could allow you to deduct the interest as investment interest expense. At Cornerstone, we care about your financial freedom, and we are more than happy to work alongside your tax planner or offer you an expert from one of our alliances. The strategies outlined in this article may not work for you and are no substitution to consulting with a tax professional.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MAY 15, 2014 - PAGE B25

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review: Piano prodigy dazzles at Community Concert in RSF Dr. Jack Wheaton, USC What a surprise...a 13-year-old girl â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Umi Garrett â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stepped on stage on a Sunday afternoon, April 27, at the Performing Arts Center at the R. Roger Rowe Middle School and astonished everyone with her piano playing. We should have known by her credits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Young Steinway Artist (the youngest ever to receive this honor), winner of the International Chopin contest, and other important trials and challenges. Her performance had not a blink, not a fearful note! A winsome young girl in a lovely evening gown, in a charming voice, told the audience what she was going to play on the 12-foot Steinway Concert Grand Piano that had been specially ordered for her concert. Was she going to play simple classical ditties or was she going to get tough â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and try to climb the mountain of Beethoven, Chopin and Gershwin? She chose the latter. It all started with the first note, bam! Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pathetiqueâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a concert selection few artists mess with. It is a tough, in-your-face classical piano, and she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there. Did she look scared? Did she make a few mistakes? (She would have been forgiven.) But, no, she moved to charm the audience out of their seats by her adolescent innocence, along with her music toughness! She loved it; she conquered Beethoven like a rocket-propelled climber of Mt. Everest. Beethoven has always been a challenge, even to the most experienced keyboardist. She mastered every note â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dynamics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perfect!, tempos â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perfect!, interpretation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perfect! Interpretation was particularly challenging since Beethoven ran the gamut from anger to adolescent love with a remembrance footnote in the last few bars. Umi continued her program with Chopin, who was sometimes called â&#x20AC;&#x153;moodyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;yet an artist of divine inspiration. Did Umi flinch, blink, or appear to be apprehensive about playing these two selections, Nocturne in E major and the Ballad No. 2? Not on your life! The Chopin Ballad is angry and aggressive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you cannot play it like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.â&#x20AC;? The three Gershwin Preludes closed the first half of her program. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played the preludes many times. They require a knowledge of jazz for a correct interpretation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in other words, you have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;swing.â&#x20AC;? Did she? Without a blink. After a short intermission Umi changed into another lovely ball gown, reminding herself of her recent

Umi Garrett trip to Japan to bring the joy of music to the hearts of the tsunami victims. The concert continued with Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moonlight Sonata,â&#x20AC;? followed by Debussyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever-popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clair de Lune.â&#x20AC;? The concert closed with one of the most difficult Chopin selections, his Etude Op. 10, No 4; it requires incredible technique and aggressive interpretation. The conflict in images of this winsome, soft-spoken pianist and her level of musical artistry can only mean we have a budding genius with much to look forward to! What a way for the Community Concerts of RSF to close its season! The 2014-15 season can be seen online at www. ccrsf.org. Tickets may be purchased by mail with check or credit card: Community Concerts of RSF (CCRSF), PO Box 2781, RSF 92067.

To Your Health: Injured? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tough It Outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Arnold Cuenca, D.O., Scripps Health Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a few days since your last run, and that twinge in your knee still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone away. Or maybe you took a blow to the head while surfing, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything to worry abut. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common for men â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially weekend warriors who try to get in as much playtime as possible before the workweek starts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough outâ&#x20AC;? the discomfort of an injury rather than get it checked by a physician. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually a bad idea. Common sports-related injuries include stress fractures, muscle sprains and strains, head injuries and lacerations. While many of these seem like they can be treated at home, it can be difficult to tell how serious an injury really is. By delaying needed treatment, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re much more likely to end up with complications or a chronic condition. Stress fractures occur over time from repeated stress on the bone, such as from running or basketball, and most often affect the feet or legs. Stress fractures may not cause pain at first; however, as the fracture becomes more severe, the pain may increase every time weight is placed on the injured bone, and the area may become swollen. Though rest is usually the main treatment for stress fractures, they should be diagnosed by a physician to ensure there is nothing else going on with the bone or surrounding tissue. Sprains are often confused with strains, but they are different injuries. A sprain occurs when a ligament, a band of connective tissue that joins one end of a bone to another, is stretched or torn. Sprains can range from a minimal stretch to a complete tear, and are characterized by tenderness or pain, bruising and swelling. Sprains often cause instability or immobility in the affected area as well. Unless a sprain is minimal, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to get medical attention. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always tell right away if an ankle, for example, is sprained or actually broken, and the sooner a broken bone is set, the more likely it is to heal correctly without complications. Even if there is no break, severely stretched or torn ligaments may heal more quickly if they are immobilized or supported with the proper brace. A strain is a pull or tear of a muscle or a tendon that connects muscle to bone. Strains are usually caused by overstretching; symptoms include pain, muscle spasm, and weakness. If your symptoms are anything but minor, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write it off. A se-

vere strain that is not correctly treated by a medical professional can lead to long-term damage and loss of function. Sprain or strain, never try to â&#x20AC;&#x153;shake it offâ&#x20AC;? or play through an injury. Pain is your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of telling you to stop. Listen to the warning and you may avoid more serious problems later. Unless you are sure an injury doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need treatment, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to err on the side of caution and get a professional opinion. Always see a physician if a sprain or strain causes severe pain, swelling, or numbness, or you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put weight on the injured area. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any of these symptoms, you may be able to treat the injury at home with RICE: rest, elevation, compression and elevation. Ibuprofen can help with pain and swelling. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, seek medical care. Injuries to the head should almost always get medical attention, sooner rather than later. A blow to the head may seem like no big deal, but we are learning more every day about the debilitating long-term impact of concussions on brain function. If you are hit in the head, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled into thinking youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re okay because you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass out. Contrary to popular belief, most people who suffer a concussion do not lose consciousness. There is no such thing as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;minorâ&#x20AC;? concussion, and you should not try to determine the seriousness of your injury. Call a physician right away or go to a hospital emergency room for evaluation. Lacerations are another type of injury that is too easily ignored. Deep cuts may require stitches to stop bleeding, prevent infection and speed healing; a bandage wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always do it. Plus, you may be due for a tetanus shot. Fortunately, most sports injuries can be treated effectively, and you should be able to return to your activities. By taking the right precautions, such as properly warming up, using safety equipment and not pushing too hard, you can help prevent injuries.

Rep. Peters introduces bipartisan ‘National Mental Health No Stigma Week’ resolution

Congressman Scott Peters (CA-52) recently introduced bipartisan legislation, as part of his efforts to promote wellness, to designate the first full week of May each year as “National Mental Health No Stigma Week.” As of introduction, 54 Members of Congress have signed on as supporting co-sponsors of the bill, and 34 medical, academic, and professional associations have stated their support. “Our mental health is often something we take for granted, but millions of our neighbors, friends, family members, and colleagues are working through mental illness issues every day,” Peters said. “It’s time to work together to end the stigma attached to mental illness and focus in on increasing awareness and prevention. A National Mental Health No Stigma Week would give this effort the recognition it deserves and would save lives.” Mental illness affects millions of Americans each year, including 20 percent of teenagers, but stigmas around mental health often prevent treatment – only half of young adults believe that treatment can help return those with a mental illness back to a healthy life. Given that more than 300,000 Americans attempt suicide each year, with fear of stigmatization listed as among the top factors for preventing the mentally ill from seeking help, there is clearly much work to be done toward acknowledging this problem. Saul Levin, M.D., M.P.A., American Psychiatric Association, CEO and Medical Director, said the following about the bill: “Because of stigma, only about one third of those who need mental health treatment seek help. Unfortunately, the fear of stigma is based upon unfair discrimination against people with mental illnesses. Stigma leads to broken families and other relationships, loss of employment and even housing discrimination. One of the most important goals of all mental health organizations should be to dispel the unnecessary stigma that so unfairly inhibits people from getting the help they need. All in this country should, if they have a mental health need, be able to get early intervention, treatment and wrap around recovery services - just as they should if they have diabetes, or hypertension, or other physical illnesses. ” “The stigma surrounding mental health is causing mental illness to go untreated far too often,” said Pamela Greenberg, CEO of the Association for Behavioral Health and Wellness. “Mental Health No Stigma Week will help turn whispering about mental illness into productive conversations about mental health. It is important that we work to stamp out the stigma unfairly associated with these illnesses.” “As the mother of a son with bipolar disorder, a psychiatric nurse, and co-founder of International Bipolar Foundation, I am acutely aware of the damage stigma causes to the millions of people affected with mental illnesses,” said RSF’s Muffy Walker MSN, MBA; chairman of the International Bipolar Foundation. “Breaking down this barrier will open the door to understanding mental illnesses for what they are; disorders of the brain - another organ in the body.” For more information, visit http://scottpeters.house.gov/sites/scottpeters.house.gov/ files/MHNSW%20Recap.pdf — Submitted press release

Major catastrophe was barely avoided as one of the Ken-Barky Derby contenders leapt into the stands at the recent 3rd Annual Ken-Barky Derby at Helen Woodward Animal Center. With over 75 schoolchildren from Solana Santa Fe Elementary School cheering on their favorite puppy – all wearing newly-crafted “spectator” hats and toting derby fan signs – 2 month old, Terrier blend “#15/Tapiture” opted for his chance at a forever home over a trip to the finish line. Asked about his unique strategy, Center Customer Service Lead Shannon Bush commented, “I like his style. Let’s face it, there were 20 puppies out here today, all of them adorable, and Tapiture knew he had to do something to really stand out. The kids loved it!” As of this report, Tapiture’s strategy paid off. Puppy #15 didn’t win the race but he went home in the arms of a loving new family only one hour later. Even more exciting, it seems that Snacks the Mini Horse had some inside scoop on Tapiture’s happy fate when she picked carrot #15 for the win! With Solana Santa Fe Elementary 3rd and 4th graders looking on, this year’s top KenBarky Derby runners were Vinceremos in 1st place, followed by California Chrome in 2nd and Candy Boy in 3rd. However, it was indeed Tapiture who reached his new home first and the other Ken-Barky Derby competitors will be right behind him. Each adopter of a Ken-Barky Derby Puppy will be automatically entered to win a KenBarky Derby, rose-themed gift basket. Visit www.animalcenter.org.

trum Seracini sees his diagnostic technology for art as a tool to help understand humanity and preserve cultural values. And when this technology is used to authenticate masterpieces it can make an ethical stand against crime. “The sale of fine art is a huge business with large amounts of money passed from one hand to another based solely on the opinion of a scholar which is so sur-

prising to me, yet it is trusted fully,” he commented. The next wave of technology in Seracini’s tool box of authentication includes how to date artworks through chemical analysis of the decaying process of the pigments used in the oil paints, a far more accurate process than current methods. “This can give objective refined answers to possible forgeries,” said Seracini. “I would strongly suggest for art owners to be aware that today it is not a matter of trust if you want to invest in art it is a matter of science,” he stressed.

Last Crosby production lots in Rancho Santa Fe sold for $6,270,098 The San Diego office of Colliers International recently announced the sale of the Crosby Enclave, a planned residential development on 8 acres, located at the intersection of Del Dios Highway and Bing Crosby Boulevard, Rancho Santa Fe, CA(92067) for $6,270,098. David Santistevan, Gunder Creager, and Ciara Layne-Trujillo, of the Colliers International Land Team represented both the seller, Crosby Enclave, LLC and the buyer, Davidson Communities. The planned residential community, located at the entrance of The Crosby development, will feature 13 homes on approximately 7,000 square foot lots.

ROBOTICS continued from page B17

Working with and inspiring students in science is something he greatly enjoys. “They’re awesome,” he said of the CCA students he works with. Maya Ziv, one of the student volunteers for the camp, just joined the robotics team this year at the urging of her friends. “It was the best decision I’ve made,” Maya said. “The people are all fascinating, intelligent and they love to build things and solve problems… it’s the highlight of my week.” Maya said her involvement has led her to start seriously thinking about engi-

neering and science as a career choice when she hadn’t before. Carter breaks into a huge smile hearing her say this. “This is the stuff mentors live for,” Carter said. In addition to having a great time tinkering with and building robots, Maya’s team has also been rewarded for its efforts. At the San Diego Regional competition this year, her team won a creativity award for innovative design — they were the only team who designed a circular robot. Carter stresses the summer camp won’t be all work and be all indoors — students will be provided lunch and will get outside for breaks to play games such as ninja tag. Carter also emphasized

that no power tools will be used in the robot construction and when students are working on the high school-level robots they will wear safety glasses, but mostly just to encourage good habits. “The biggest thing is we want to get kids excited because during the week we can’t teach them everything but we can get them interested in science and technology and that’s our goal,” Carter said. Maya said she hopes the camp will show the youngsters all the opportunities they will be able to pursue and will, hopefully, “get a lot more scientists into the world.” To register for camp or learn more, visit team3128. org.
