New rules impose fines and penalties for water-use violations BY JOE TASH Customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District must cut their outdoor water use by 45 percent or face penalties and fines under a sweeping series of new regulations enacted by the district’s board of directors at its meeting on Thursday, May 21. The district provides water to about 19,400 residents in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. On Thursday, in response to a state mandate to cut its total water use by 36 percent by February 2016, the district established water “allocations” for the first time since it was founded in 1923. That means residents will be given a base allowance of water, and subjected to an escalating series of penalties if they use more than their allotment. In addition, residents

BY KAREN BILLING At the May 21 board meeting, San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt said he would like to have some direction from the board on how the district enrolls high school students by the end of this summer. If any substantial change is made to the enrollment process, Schmitt said that the district needs to begin work by December 2015 to be ready by the 2016-17 school year. A survey will be sent out in the first week of June to district parents and elementary school feeder district parents. Over the summer, Associate Superintendent of Educational Services Mike Grove will compile all of the information received in the survey, as well as from public workshops held earlier this year. Another public workshop will be held in August and at that point Schmitt would like to hear a discussion and recommendation from the school board. With the district’s current enrollment practice, San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy are open boundary schools. If a situation occurs where there are more students selecting a school than there are available seats, the district decides who gets in through a completely

will face fines for violating water-use restrictions, which include outdoor watering only two days per week, and curtailing such activities as washing cars in their driveways. “There’s a target on our back,” said board President Michael Hogan, regarding the state-mandated cuts. State regulators this month adopted a tiered system of mandated cutbacks for local water suppliers, ranging from 4 to 36 percent. Santa Fe Irrigation District is in the highest tier due to its high per capita water use. “There’s no soft landing in this process. There’s only a hard landing,” Hogan said. The required cutbacks flow from a directive issued by Gov. Jerry Brown, calling for an overall 25 percent reduction in water use by California residents to cope with

RSF Association Board Biz: More about transparency, inclusiveness and intersections BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD Last week, in recapping the accomplishments of this past year’s RSF Association board, I emphasized our focus on transparency and inclusiveness. The law that governs homeowners’ associations (HOAs) in California is known as the DavisStirling Act. This law, along with various other “sunshine” laws, creates a baseline for the transparency and inclusiveness a board must provide its members. I am proud that the RSF Association board has continued to operate far above this baseline. The Davis-Stirling Act, for example, addresses inclusiveness in its extensive rules on voting rights and election rules. The act requires that the board disclose annual budgets, financials and other information on a regular basis. It does not, however, require that a board include its members in every decision-making process. Doing so would create unnecessary delay and would defeat the very purpose of establishing an effi-
Ann Boon cient body of government. Nevertheless, the RSF Association board has provided a high level of transparency and inclusiveness by holding open discussions on nearly every contentious issue. Moreover, our board includes members in a wide variety of ways. First, there are the standing committees which historically have had input on policy decisions in their respective areas. These standing committees are the Covenant Design Review Committee (aka Art Jury), Finance Committee, Osuna Committee and Trails and Recreation Committee. In addition, over the past several years, we have created new ad hoc committees to help the Board address complicated issues. We
have many examples of ad hoc committees: Committee on the Natural Environment (CONE), Technology Infrastructure Committee, Legal Advisory Committee, Voting Rights Committee, Health and Fitness Club Committee (which has many sub-committees), Intersection Study Committee, and Community Awareness Committee. Dozens more RSF Association members have become involved in studying the important issues facing us all through these new committees. It is my belief that the most effective boards are those that choose to be transparent and inclusive, even in situations where it is not required by law. Each and every committee and department in the RSF Association is encouraged to be transparent in all their activities and to solicit the input and participation of community members, even when we are not required to do so. On April 29, we held a Town Hall meeting that was not required, but which we felt was essential to our decision-making process. It was an opportunity to discuss
the issue of traffic along the Paseo Delicias-Del Dios corridor and the question of what to do at the three main intersections — an issue that has been before the board for almost 15 years. This meeting came over two years after the board held the last public meeting on the issue, with approximately 140 people in attendance. At that 2013 meeting, the board discussed the same traffic problems and potential solutions that we revisited this April. In response to member input, the 2013 board directed staff to work with the county to prepare a design study of traffic signals at each of the three intersections, as an alternative to roundabouts. In the summer of 2013, the board established the ad hoc Intersection Study Committee (ISC) to work with staff and the engineering consultant to evaluate the designs. The board and staff were careful to make sure varying viewpoints were represented on the committee. The county agreed to temporarily delay action on the EIR until the Association had an opportunity to offer its input on both round-
abouts and signals. Then, at our March 5, 2015, board meeting, our staff presented the findings of the ISC to the community members in attendance. The findings presented three options for taking action on the traffic situation: build roundabouts, put in traffic signals, or “do nothing.” Rather than take action at that meeting, however, the board voted to hold one more public meeting for members to give input. On April 29, 2015, the board held a “Town Meeting,” which included a staff presentation and opportunity for member comments. Over 150 members attended. Although there were many passionate commenters on both sides, the majority of attendees favored traffic signals over roundabouts. Finally, at the May 7, 2015, board meeting, based on the ISC report and community feedback, the board voted unanimously to make a recommendation to the county to install traffic signals. This traffic issue has been before the RSF Association board for nearly 15
years because there is no “right” answer to whether we should install signals or roundabouts. So, for 15 years, previous boards kicked the can down the road rather than make a decision that some members of the community would inevitably be upset with. This board decided that the right decision was to act — to determine, after consulting with the members, what the likely best choice might be for the community, and convey it to the entity with the authority to act — the county. It is always difficult to balance the board’s obligation to act on behalf of the whole community with the policy concern that members’ opinions count. To that end, we must find ways to keep members informed and to ensure that their informed opinions reach the board during the decisionmaking process. I am proud to be a part of this RSF Association board, which has taken great strides in this direction, in the spirit of transparency, inclusiveness, and responsibility. ann.boon@me.com

RSF couple fund promising ovarian cancer study Ovarian cancer is notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat, making it an especially fatal disease. Researchers at UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center have now identified six mRNA isoforms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bits of genetic material â&#x20AC;&#x201D; produced by ovarian cancer cells but not normal cells, opening up the possibility that they could be used to diagnose early-stage ovarian cancer. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, several of the mRNA isoforms could be targeted with new therapeutics. The study will be published the week of May 25 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Iris and Matthew Strauss, Rancho Santa Fe-based philanthropists who helped fund the study, are also excited by the promise this finding holds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We created the Iris and Matthew Strauss Center for Matthew and Iris Strauss Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer in memory of our daughter, Stefanie Dawn Strauss,â&#x20AC;? said Iris Lynne Strauss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To further honor our daughter, we provided support for this study in an effort to help other women obtain early detection from this dreadful and deadly disease.â&#x20AC;? This research was also funded in part by the National Cancer Institute and Colleenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream Foundation.
District proposes new position of associate superintendent of administrative services BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt introduced a proposal at the May 21 board meeting for a new position: associate superintendent of administrative services. The position change is part of the re-organization of the educational services department, which has become necessary because Schmitt said the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work has quadrupled due to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;unprecedented scope and scaleâ&#x20AC;? of new education standards. The position change is cost-neutral. Schmitt said the new position would give Associate Superintendent Mike Grove the time to focus on curriculum and instruction and assessment needs. The new associate superintendent would provide leadership in areas such as construction, enrollment, program shifts, bell schedules, athletics, technology and summer programs. If approved on June 4, Schmitt said he would appoint Jason Viloria as the executive director of educational services effective July 1. Viloriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former position, executive director of instructional services, would be eliminated.
San Dieguito district prepares plan to spend state funds for 2015-18 BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District is in the process of finalizing its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), the plan for how it will spend allocated funding from the state for the next three years. The LCAP is a requirement of all school districts as a result of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) that first went into effect last year. With the formula, revenue limits and most state categorical funding are eliminated and the funding formula is based on the number, grade level and demographics of the students the district serves. The LCFF funding comes in base and supplemental formats. The base grant is the per pupil amount; supplemental grant is additional funding based on English learners, low income and foster youth. San Dieguitoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014-15 target for supplemental expenditures was about $950,000 and in the 201516 school year, the amount has grown to $1.6 million. Supplemental funding will be used to provide increased support for English learners, intervention courses for those performing below grade level, college readiness courses, professional development for teachers on strategies to support English learners and increasing course access for all students. The public hearing for the LCAP will be June 4, with final approval on June 16, along with the 2015-16 budget. The LCAP must include an update about progress made toward the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals and any adjustments that need to be made. According to Jason Viloria, executive director of educational services, the district is performing strongly compared with other

districts. In 2013-14, the percentage of English learners making annual progress was 73 percent, compared with Carlsbad Unified at 68 percent and 58 percent in San Diego Unified. The district also has high AP exam pass rates and graduation rates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 23 percent of SDUHSD have a GPA of 4.0 or higher. Of those students above 4.0 GPA, 1.6 percent are English learners and 2.7 percent are socio-economically disadvantaged. Viloria said the district had a 2013-14 AP exam pass rate of 85 percent, which is impressive, as SDUHSD is an â&#x20AC;&#x153;open accessâ&#x20AC;? district. The district saw a record number of students take AP tests this year compared with last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the biggest jump at La Costa Canyon. Part of the LCAP is â&#x20AC;&#x153;stakeholder engagement,â&#x20AC;? making sure parents, staff and students are involved in the planning process. Viloria said that the district is lucky that Superintendent Rick Schmitt doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to sit still and does a lot of engagement activities. For the LCAP, the district used feedback from more than 30 stakeholder meetings and more than 1,000 responses from a parent LCAP survey. The San Dieguito District English Learner Advisory Committee also gave input about having more options for English learners and working harder toward reaching proficiency. Viloria said 4.2 percent of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is classified as English learners, and while the district has seen a drop in those numbers, the population has much greater needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a great job in this district, and this is a great portrait of the work, but we always look to do better,â&#x20AC;? Viloria said.

Local surgeon, nurse heading to Nepal on humanitarian medical mission BY JOE TASH A local plastic surgeon and registered nurse are part of a medical team heading for Nepal to perform life-changing operations for victims of the recent devastating earthquakes in the impoverished country at the base of the Himalayas. Dr. Munish Batra, 49, of Rancho Santa Fe, and Amber Cheffins Gurung, 36, of Encinitas, will join a group of surgeons and nurses in performing dozens of operations for those who have suffered traumatic crushing or burn injuries in two massive earthquakes that struck April 25 and May 12. The first temblor registered 7.8, while the second struck at a magnitude of 7.3. More than 8,000 people are reported dead as a result of the two quakes. Batra, who practices at an office in Carmel Valley, said team members are concerned about the region’s volatility, and one surgeon canceled after the second quake. But he still plans to board the plane June 5 for the journey to Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital. “You just hope for the best … I feel like we’ll let down literally hundreds of people if we don’t show up. I feel like I can’t let them down,” said Batra, the father of two young children, who has been making such humanitarian medical trips for more than a decade. Cheffins Gurung, an experienced operating room nurse, said she was “a little nervous” after the second quake, but has been reassured by talking to people she knows who continue working in Nepal. She is part of an advance team that will procure supplies, set up the operating room and screen patients before surgeons arrive, and she planned to depart Tuesday, May 26. “I’m not scared enough not to go,” she said. Batra volunteers his surgical skills on humanitarian missions yearly, in countries ranging from his native India to Mexico. In some cases, the mission is in response to a disaster, such as the tsunami that struck India, Thailand and other areas in 2004. Other times, the team assists poor people who could not otherwise afford surgery. The patients’ ailments run the gamut, from cleft palates to severe fractures to disfiguring burns. On a recent trip to India, Batra operated on a woman who suffered debilitating injuries when her husband threw acid in her face. On the upcoming Nepal trip, the surgeons will be kept busy operating on people who were injured in the earthquakes. “They’re not necessarily life-saving (operations), but they are life-changing. It gets them back into a functional mode,” said Cheffins Gurung, who will assist in the operating room. Some Nepalese lost their homes, businesses and families in one brief, brutal convulsion of the Earth’s surface. “To go and do something good for them, give them some hope there is still good in the world and give them something to live for … it just feels right,” she said. Batra will be in Nepal for eight to 10 days. During that time, he expects to personally perform 25 to 30 operations in a series of grueling 18-hour days. “You get up, have your tea or coffee, and you just keep going until you’re too exhausted to operate,” he said. The team will perform operations at two different hospitals — one in Kathmandu, and

the other in the village of Helambu. The team members volunteer their time, and are raising money to pay for supplies. A “Go Fund Me” page has been set up to accept donations at http://www.gofundme.com/ asips. Any money raised beyond what is needed for this mission will be donated to relief groups working in Nepal, said Cheffins Gurung. When Batra and Cheffins Gurung are not traveling on humanitarian medical missions, they are kept busy at home. She runs her own business, Pacific Coast Triage, and also works as a surgical nurse. Batra works at his plastic surgery practice, and tries to keep up with his two young sons, a 2-yearold toddler and a 7-month-old infant. He credited his wife, Pooja, with supporting his volunteer work, helping him arrange his trips, and advising him on the best use of resources. Batra, who said he grew up in one of the poorest areas of India, feels blessed by his family and professional success, and wants to give back. “You can do an operation that will make a significant impact on someone within a couple of hours,” he said. “I’ve got to go back and do something for these people.”

Patriot Profiles: Meet Taya Kyle, an ‘American Wife’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY The story of Chris and Taya Kyle is a testament to heroism on the battlefield and a tribute to love at its deepest level at home. Not that long ago in 2001, Taya and Navy SEAL Chris were making eyes at each other at Maloney’s in San Diego’s Gaslamp District. Chris intrigued her with his idealism and romantic patriotism, saying, “I would lay down my life for my country.” How could a girl not fall for that? They married in 2002 and set out to experience “happily ever after.” Training is on-the-job for thousands of military wives (and some husbands) in Taya’s position. Becoming a Navy SEAL had built her husband up for the most terrible aspects of war — to survive and win against all odds or threats. Taya didn’t have a grueling training program, no jackhammered conditioning and pressure to become a ripped, “indestructible warrior.” Yet she had to become indomitable, somehow. Falling in love with a former Texas cowboy turned Navy SEAL in a time of war meant scares and separations — long ones.
Christopher Scott Kyle followed orders, and was deployed to Iraq multiple times. For days on end, he put his life on the line in major battles, while Taya fought to ward off overload at home — raising two children and keeping up with everything. While Chris was busy providing American fighters with covering fire, using his skills and faith to stay alive, Taya was covering up their two kids at night, using her faith and skills to reassure that Daddy would be back. The enemy’s bounty on Chris grew with his reputation of being the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. Taya fought the quiet battles. Her husband lived a life of danger in a foreign land and there was nothing she could do to change that. “I can be hard-headed and want to have control over my own destiny or fix things,” she said. “I feel like this is one way God broke me down to say, ‘You can come to me, because this is truly out of your control.’ I felt like my relationship and faith deepened through that process of being completely powerless.”

The fog of war moved in on young lovers living in opposite realities. “I think the biggest challenge as I look back was knowing and feeling that he loved me and he meant it, and just because it wasn’t shown in the same ways it traditionally was for other couples, that it didn’t mean it was any less real for him. “I heard Chris say at one point, ‘We both just never gave up at the same time.’ I remember thinking, ‘I never gave up.’ I know I expressed disappointment at the way things were going and he understood it as maybe I was ready to ‘toss in the towel.’ My main thing was — the day I got married, I was promising my friends and family and God that Taya and Chris Kyle: “I heard Chris say at one point, ‘We both just never gave up at this was it for me,” stated the same time,” Taya Kyle recalls. The wife of the famed “American Sniper” has Taya. Things got better when written “American Wife.” Photos courtesy Taya Kyle. Chris got out of the military and channeled his passion to serve into supporting veterans and their families. Reality was the same now for him and Taya —the family was whole again. Then life took a shattering turn when Chris and his friend, Chad Littlefield, were killed while attempting to help a troubled veteran. “I go back to my faith, so when (something unexpected happens), I can still have faith that it’s going to be OK somehow, or I’m going to have the strength to go through it,” said Taya. “My friends and family — when you have good people around you and you get a little off track … they can bring you back to the core they know you are.” Taya helps her children be in the driver’s seat of life’s turns, “to be their own unique people and deal with their grief in their own way, because what I’m learning is that everybody handles it differently and there’s really no wrong way to do it. But you have to honor how you really feel about it.” How Taya really feels is detailed in her new book “American Wife,” telling her private story of love and “Papa” Doug Manchester, Taya Kyle, Geniya heartbreak, her own conditioning for a life of service, her Manchester at the “American Wife” book launch at the struggle with grief and the battle to protect her husband’s USS Midway Museum.

Local entrepreneur’s book details business of Bubba Gump restaurants BY ROB LEDONNE The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company chain of restaurants can be found all over the world — from Hong Kong to New York’s Times Square. To lift the chain into its current worldwide ubiquity took years of planning and strategy, and its story is being told for the first time in “Gumption: Taking Bubba Gump from Movie to Restaurant,” a book chronicling the restaurants’ success, written by former CEO Scott Barnett, a local resident. “People have been telling me for years I should write a book about this,” said Barnett. “When I started writing, it was originally going to be a case study for the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona. When I showed it to the dean, he said it should be a book, and that sealed the deal.” Barnett — a longtime North County resident — was originally the brains behind a chain of a successful restaurants called the Rusty Pelican. Barnett’s life soon changed, though, when his Rusty Pelican partner, Del Mar resident Gordon Miles, received a call out of the blue from the powers that be at Paramount Pictures. “They asked if we were interested in doing a restaurant based around the movie ‘Forrest Gump.’” Bubba-Gump Shrimp Company is the fictional company founded by the character Forrest Gump in the 1994 hit movie.
“We decided to go for it,” said Barnett, who agreed to a licensing agreement with Paramount. The first restaurant later opened in Monterey and it became a runaway success, paving the way for the restaurant’s global future. When it came to putting together the book, Barnett tried to remember the stories and anecdotes he collected along the way, to the method behind the brand’s immense success. “The book is for entrepreneurs or people in business,” said Barnett of “Gumption,” which follows the brand from its infancy. “I was writing 1,500 words a day for about 10 weeks. I had written things all my life and writing had always come easy to me, but writing the book is a totally different thing.” Throughout the rise of Bubba Gump restaurants, Barnett had to sometimes navigate tricky waters — which included opening its first international location in Osaka, Japan, and supervising the 2004 launch of the Bubba Gump location in Times Square. “Clearly, that was a massive thing for us,” he said of that restaurant, which has since become a landmark and nets a whopping $25 million a year. “People refer to Time Square as the crossroads of the world, so that was our first big milestone.” Barnett left Bubba Gump in 2010 and as of March is the interim CEO of Ruby’s Diners, a chain of 1940s-themed eateries. But with the Bubba-Gump Shrimp Compa-

ny ingrained in American culture and the book completed and released, Barnett rightfully looks at his accomplishments with pride. “I hope people like the book; I think it has a pretty fun and interesting story,” he said, adding with a laugh, “I’m the last guy to ask if it’s a good book, but I hope readers find it fun and informative.” “Gumption: Taking Bubba Gump From Movie to Restaurant” is available now.

Cathedral Catholic golf star advances in U.S. Open BY ROB LEDONNE It’s been a busy few weeks for Cathedral Catholic senior Ryan Bisharat, as his golf career is reaching new heights — all built on a bedrock of past successes in the sport. Along with wrapping up his time playing for Cathedral and continuing to advance with his high school time (with an as-yet-undetermined outcome), Bisharat was one of just five qualifiers to move on to the next round of the U.S. Open in a qualifying round held earlier in May. “I originally wasn’t even going to play in the qualifier,” said Bisharat, citing scheduling conflicts with his Cathedral Catholic matches. However, because of a series of events that ended up with his opponent becoming ineligible, Bisharat was freed up to trek to Lakeside’s Barona Creek Golf Course to face off against 88 other hopefuls all vying to advance. “I had never played a tournament like that before, so I had no expectation I was going to make it,” Bisharat said of the experience. “There was really no pressure on my end.” As a result, after bogeying his second hole, Bisharat managed to breeze through the course. “Once I hit the back nine, it started to hit me,” he noted. “I was adding up the scores in my head and knew I was going to be on the bubble. Thankfully, I was on the right side of that bubble.”
(Another North County player — Torrey Pines High School senior Jamie Cheatham — also advanced.) Bisharat’s success at Barona Creek was the cherry on top of years of accomplishments throughout his life in golf, including winning the City Conference Match Play Tournament this year — his second such win at the tournament. (Bisharat also came in first in 2013.) “I started playing tournaments when I was 8 years old,” he said of his beginnings in the sport, which was spurred by father Rod’s interest in golf. “After a while, I realized there was something there for me — that if I worked hard and stayed focused, I could make something out of this.” For the next few weeks, Bisharat has a lot to look forward to. After graduating from Cathedral Catholic this coming Saturday, his next focus is the next round of the U.S. Open in Newport Beach on June 8. “From what I understand, that tournament will be 36 holes in one day,” he said. “I’m not sure how many people advance from there.” As for the stress of competing in such high-stakes matches, Bisharat said he tries to take everything in stride and focus on the game. “I sometimes get nervous, but it depends on the magnitude of the tournament you’re playing. I usually play best when I just go out there trying to get a good num-

‘Healing and Prevention Through Integrative Medicine’ author to speak June 4 at RSF Library BY DIANE WELCH As part of the health-related lecture series hosted by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, the Rancho Santa Fe Library will host Dr. Charles A. Moss for a presentation and book signing at 11 a.m. Thursday, June 4. Titled “Healing and Prevention Through Integrative Medicine,” the presentation builds on Moss’s earlier lecture held May 12 at the library. Moss — who provides alternative medicine, acupuncture, thyroid disease treatment, chronic fatigue treatment and more — will explain what integrative medicine is, how he practices it, and how he approaches his patients by looking at the whole person. Known as the “terrain” of the person, this approach was invented by 19th-century French physician Claude Bernard. “We look at why someone may develop a certain problem or why they are prone to it, so we look at nutrition, certain tests to measure vitamins and minerals, and we also test to see if the person may have had any exposure to toxic heavy metals, and we look at the digestive tract — it’s the big picture,” said Moss, who has been in practice since 1978. On a cellular level and a personal level, each of us is adjusting to changing circumstances, explained Moss. “Even in ancient Chinese literature, they talk about life as being a constant state of adaptation,” he said. Patients who end up having health problems are not adapting well, either to stress or to poor environment or diet, according to Moss. Moss has written two books: “The Power of the Five Elements,” with a focus on acupuncture, and “The Adaptation Diet,” which homes in on epigenetics, which highlights the effects of environment, diet and stress on health. Signed copies of both books will be available for purchase at the presentation. Moss’s talk will focus on the concept of adaptation and how individuals are affected by stress and other factors. Food allergies, for example, can be very detrimental to health. “I’ve seen so many patients who drop a certain food item from their diet, like soy, corn or wheat and their headaches or their pain goes away, or they can sleep better,” said Moss. Hormonal imbalance may also affect health. If deficiencies are detected, bio-identical hormone therapy may be used to correct the imbalance. “As we get older there’s a lot of evidence showing that you can maintain a higher level of well-being, if it’s appropriate, by using the right form of hormone therapy,” Moss explained. If a patient goes to the doctor with high blood pressure, the medical model is to prescribe medication. Moss’s model is to look at patients’ diets and at their stress levels. For example, magnesium deficiency is often linked to high blood pressure. Also, the accumulation of heavy metals like lead, arsenic and mercury may be an indicator, so these are tested for, he said. “The average American has over 200 chemicals in their system, according to a Food and Drug Administration study in 2009, but they didn’t make much out of it because none of them
were high enough in certain levels to make you sick. But they also didn’t say, ‘Well, all of these things together may make you sick,’” said Moss. Moss’s message ultimately is that it is up to people themselves to stay healthy. “People have to take control (of their health) and they have to be empowered by having information so that they can stay healthy,” he said.

a statewide drought now in its fourth year. Some residents asked for more time to learn about the new requirements before the fines and penalties take effect, but the board moved forward, citing a state penalty of up to $10,000 per day for water agencies that fail to meet their targeted reductions. “We have a very short period of time in which to react, unfortunately,” said Paula de Sousa, the district’s general counsel. Along with the allocations, which were approved by the board on a 4-1 vote, with director Greg Gruzdowich voting no, the board also voted to move to a Level 3 drought response, which entails tighter water-use restrictions. That decision came on a 5-0 vote, as did the adoption of a series of rule changes, including the doubling of fines for water-use violations. The maximum fine for a fourth violation in a oneyear period went to $1,000 from $500. Gruzdowich said he had two objections to the allocation plan: that it was a “onesize-fits-all” approach, which failed to take into account those who have already cut back their water use; and that people are being penalized before they’ve had a chance to fully understand the new rules. He compared the change to a cellular telephone contract: “You’re in a new plan but you don’t know what it is.” “I think that’s fundamentally unfair,” he said. Director Alan Smerican agreed the statemandated cutbacks are unfair, but said the district is bound by them. After the responsibility of delivering clean drinking water to its customers, he said, the district’s highest

ENROLLMENT priority is to avoid the potential fines of $10,000 per day. The district adopted mandatory wateruse restrictions under a Level 2 drought response in September, which included a three-day per week watering schedule. Residents did comply with directives to cut water use in previous droughts, reducing consumption by 20 percent between 2007 and 2013. However, this time around, district officials said use has actually gone up in six of the eight months since the latest mandatory restrictions were put in place. “We’re not seeing the reduction in demand that we anticipated,” district General Manager Michael Bardin said Thursday. “Currently, we’re going in the wrong direction.” Therefore, staff recommended the tighter restrictions of the Level 3 response, as well as the allocation plan and higher fines for violators. The new restrictions take effect June 1, while the allocations begin July 1. The first bill on which customers could see a penalty for exceeding their allocation will be in September. Under an example prepared for the board, a household’s bimonthly water bill would increase to $660 from $541 for using 25 units of water (each unit contains 748 gallons) over its allocation. “That’s a very strong message to send to the community and it changes the playing field for us,” Bardin said. Smerican, though, wondered if the district should impose even tighter restrictions. “Everything we’ve done to date has failed, regarding conservation. Is this See WATER, page 21
random lottery. No preference is given to proximity. All 9th through 12th grade students were accepted into their first-choice schools of Canyon Crest and San Dieguito this year, primarily through the hard work of site administrators who worked to expand capacity by utilizing every space they could on campuses and reviewing master schedules. The options for the district include: boundaries for all schools, eliminating all boundaries, a mix of boundary and non-
boundary schools (the current situation), small boundaries around each academy and small boundaries around each school, and no boundaries for the remainder of the district. Grove said the challenge with the survey is getting informed feedback. “There is a general recognition that each option is going to leave some people unhappy,” Grove said. “It’s about making a decision about what’s best for the greatest number of students that we can. continued from page 1
SUPERINTENDENT our schools and the programs we have in place,” said Decker, a Carlsbad resident. “I know where we’ve been and where we’re going. I’ve been a big piece of that progress in the last few years, so I think we can take everything that we’ve done, continue the progress and move forward.” The school board’s decision was unanimous. The board is expected to officially approve Decker’s contract at the June 4 meeting. “Mr. Decker possesses the values, skills and experience to lead Solana Beach School District and ensure our continued success,” said board president Vicki King in a letter to parents on May 21. “He has a genuine appreciation for the work of our teachers, administrative team and support staff. He values the culture of collaboration, collegiality and community engagement that makes Solana Beach School District such a remarkable place. Above all, he holds an unwavering belief that all students can learn and succeed.” Lynch joined the district in April 2012. Under Lynch’s leadership, the Solana Beach School District has transitioned to Common Core State Standards and championed STREAM (Science, Technology, Re-
search, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) through STREAM-centered Discovery Labs. In the fall, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Because Decker has played an integral part in the district’s recent successes, he said the change in leadership would be a “seamless transition.” “One of the most important pieces is for us to continue the very positive trajectory we’re on,” Decker said. “I look forward to everything we’re going to be able to accomplish together with our staff and our families in the years to come.” Lynch’s last day with the Solana Beach district will be June 30. On July 1, she is expected to start as superintendent of Reed Union School District. Decker’s first day as superintendent will be July 1. “Dr. Lynch has done such a wonderful job in these last three years,” Decker said. “To have the opportunity to step into that role and continue the great work that’s been done over the last few years is just an honor. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity.”

‘Dig’ Day American history came alive at Diegueño Country School in Rancho Santa Fe on May 1 for the school’s annual “Dig” Day. This culminating event was the school’s annual cultural, historical, and geographical celebration that followed extensive coursework. Through “Dig” studies, students develop a thorough knowledge of an ancient or present day country, world culture, or civilization. For this year’s Dig study, the Diegueño students celebrated a broad span of American history from its first people to the 20th century. Each class took a piece of the timeline (from the Pilgrims to Western Expansion and on through the Civil War). Throughout the spring, students have been engaged in research, hands-on projects, field trips, guest speaker presentations, and historical re-enactments to gain a deep understanding of American history. Following the academic presentations in each classroom, students performed a spectacular show: The Creation of a Nation, a seamlessly integrated visual and musical display that solidified their meaningful studies. At the end of the show, the students and parents were given the rare opportunity to ride in a Wells Fargo Stagecoach pulled by four well-trained horses. Experiences like “Dig” at Diegueño help make history lovers out of everyone. Photos by Jon Clark. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview.com.

The Rancho Santa Fe board promised us a new beginning. The RSF Intersection Committee reviewed engineering drawings, overlays of roundabouts vs. lights, declining traffic counts, and timing of construction. The committee recommended roundabouts by a 6-1 vote. The RSF board had their own ideas. At the information meeting, 150 people showed up, many not even residents of The Covenant, and got counted as light advocates, as Bill Overton subtracted those in favor of status quo and roundabouts from 150. My neighbors got counted and they moved away six years ago. The Village Church complained about losing parking spaces, but failed to mention that there is a signed agreement by the county and RSF to give the church land for parking spaces if roundabouts are built, according to a resident who has a copy. Roundabouts have low lights, 40 percent less pavement, continuous traffic flow and country feel. It seems that after voting for undergrounding utilities, a school, a community center, and health club, roundabouts should be decided by community vote. If traffic lights prevail, we will support that. Where is the transparency advocated by the new board? Covenant members may sign a petition to cause the Association to have a vote by going to www.rsfroundabouts. com. Richard Carlson, Member, RSF Intersection Committee
Board’s decision on lights is well-researched Response to Mr. and Mrs. Siino’s letter “Decision to add traffic lights will affect RSF’s rural feel” (May 21): The recent decision by the RSF Association board to support the county’s installation of traffic signals on the Paseo Delicias/Via de la Valle corridor, is honorable and deserves respect from members. Over the last 15 years, our board has appointed committees, researched alternative solutions, reviewed and considered the countyprepared EIR (environmental impact report) on roundabouts, and held several town hall meetings for members to get involved in the decision process. Finally, after many years of controversy and consideration, the board made a well-informed decision on this difficult issue. The facts are: 1. The traffic problem began nearly 30 years ago when Highway 680 was removed from the County Circulation Element. 2. Stop signs do not effectively manage the excessive traffic on the Paseo Delicias/Via de la Valle corridor, according to the EIR. 3. Commuter traffic
“spills over” and uses “shortcuts” through the Ranch to avoid the stop signs and congests several other roads. 4. Signals can provide safe traffic management consistent with the remainder of the County corridor. 5. The RSF town hall meeting on April 29 invited every member to attend. 6. 156 members attended and 76 percent supported traffic signals. 7. The best traffic remedy (Highway 680) is no longer an option. The Ranch has been my home for nearly 40 years. The character of Rancho Santa Fe is defined by our village, its historical origins, the school, equestrian trails, the golf course and tennis club, and excellent yearround climate, not by traffic and stop signs or signals. I am pleased to see progress on this issue after all this time. I commend our Association board and staff who have worked hard, performed due diligence over a long period of time and taken many steps to assure transparency in their actions to represent our community. Thank you for your time and effort. Daniel R. Bunn
LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged. Submissions should include a full name, address, email address (if available) and a telephone number for verification purposes. We do not publish anonymous letters and there are length limits (about 400 words maximum). E-mailed submissions are preferred to editor@rsfreview.com. Letters may be edited. The letters/columns published are the author’s opinion only and do not reflect the opinion of this newspaper.
There is a myth that “traffic lights will severely impact the rural look and feel of RSF.” The fact is that we have had a traffic signal in our community for over 17 years at Calzada del Bosque and Via de la Valle. Where is the outcry over that intersection? County records show that in the recent five years, at that intersection only two accidents have occurred there. Whereas at the three stop sign intersections along the Paseo Delicias corridor, the County Environmental Impact Report (appendix E3, page 4), cites that in a five-year period, 27 accidents were recorded: 13 at Via de la Valle, seven at Montevideo, and seven at Camino del Norte. These are recorded facts, not fiction or opinions. With regard to community voting on the Roundabouts/Traffic Lights issue: The Association staff did a stellar job on informing the entire Covenant of an important meeting to hear the pros and cons on the issues. The overwhelming majority, 76 percent of the 150 people present, favored traffic lights. Two years earlier at a similar meeting attended by over 100 people, 34 members spoke. Seventy-six percent favored traffic lights, 15 percent wanted no change, and 9 percent favored roundabouts. One week after the most recent community meeting the board of directors voted 7 to 0 to approve the traffic light installations. I believe the board and staff, with all the facts in hand, did a very thorough and honest job in selecting the best solution for the community. The association followed the Articles and Bylaws in every way and the board acted within its authority. This debate has been going on for over 15 years and now is the time to implement a solution. The community has had more than enough time to express their factual views. Sam Ursini
Board proceeded in an orderly, legal manner As a 27-year resident of the Ranch, I am aware that finding a solution to the infernal traffic along the Del Dios/Paseo Delicias corridor, where I live, is a long-standing issue. The County Board of Supervisors believe that the time has to come to act and solve this issue for the well-being of all who transit this corridor. Before making their decision, the county has extended the Ranch the courtesy to voice its choice of a solution. To that end, the RSF Association Board of Directors proceeded in an orderly and legal manner to study the problem and to listen to the wishes of its constituents. The RSF Association is composed of home owners within the Covenant and represent the interest of all. The members elect a board of directors who act on behalf of the Association. The directors are chosen from and elected by members of the community. They are known by the community to be knowledgeable, ethical, and trustworthy leaders who will and do act in conformity with the laws and by-laws of the statues of our Association. The board, after studying the careful investigation of the issue and alternative solutions prepared for them by the staff and after hearing a legal, loud and clear wishes of the members, responded to the county’s invitation to make the Ranch’s wishes known to them. A state-ofthe-art light system. I have not been given reason to doubt the validity of the actions taken by the board nor the faculties they used. I have no reason to doubt the validity of the decision of the board on the basis of innuendoes. I am outraged, not because someone used their right to dissent, even if it is extemporaneous, but the means chosen to dissent. On what basis that should we “maybe” “be advised” of a list of violations taken from the index page of the statutes? After reading the dissent published in the Review, I take the gravest of exception and feel offended to the listing and therefore suggestion, under the cover of just saying “maybe,” that there might be Self-Dealing Contracts (although it is on the index, on this issue there are no contracts by the Ranch rather the county) and violation of standard of conduct by people we know and trust. No to maybes. Proof, please!. I vote no to innuendoes and all that follows from them. Philippe Charat
Traffic signal decision based on responsibility, transparency, inclusiveness and 15 years — isn’t that long enough? The most appealing reasons to live in the Covenant are: a 5-star public school, a rural lifestyle that includes riding horses, playing golf, and warm-hearted people with a one for all and all for one attitude. Meanwhile, the horrible traffic is hurting lots of people, especially the residents along the corridor of Paseo Delicias. They need to go to work and send children to school five days a week when the traffic is heaviest. For 15 years the RSF Association has put off making a decision as to whether to go with signals or roundabouts. The county was going to wait no longer. We love the “dark sky policy” but we are obliged to choose either for signals or roundabouts by the county. The Stop sign is the history! Traffic signals will allow residents to get in and out of their driveways safely. With the current Stop sign, quite a number of cars don’t even stop. Some drivers are reckless, like a crazy dog being held in a dark room for three days! It is very difficult and dangerous for those parents with children to fight like a soldier those “two hours”(referring the letter by the Siinos of May 21). There have been several accidents along the road in the last few years! The residents along Paseo Delicias know the lines are certainly more than 10 minutes. When a person even feels “a significant inconvenience to wait for a light to turn outside peak hours” — which is only a couple minutes waiting — can we empathize with those residents who are struggling for much longer time? Roundabouts would require the taking of private land and could result in adverse condemnation lawsuits. That will hurt our principle of harmony! The decision by the RSF Association board was based on countless meetings, investigations and discussions that have gone on for 15 years! The current board members treat people like family. I was surprised and deeply moved to find out Rochelle Putnam had spent quite some time, during peak traffic hours, observing the traffic. This board, just like Ann Boon said in her May 21 “Board Biz,” is responsible, transparent, and inclusive on all the key issues. This board is really serving the community with its time, heart and soul! Isn’t it long enough for a decision made out of 15 years? Wei Zhang

enough?â&#x20AC;? he said. On the other hand, district customers asked the district to take a less aggressive approach, at least until people get up to speed on the new rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This should be more about education and less about punishment,â&#x20AC;? said Rancho Santa Fe resident Nick Dieterich, who urged the board not to implement the fines and penalties until after a concerted outreach effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to be cognizant that there are other needs than just inside the house. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut off my outdoor use entirely,â&#x20AC;? Dieterich said. Next steps could include a moratorium on adding new water meters, and a freeze on annexations. Neither step would be justified, said Bardin, unless the district declared a â&#x20AC;&#x153;water shortage emergency,â&#x20AC;? under which water would only be available for health and safety and firefighting purposes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there yet,â&#x20AC;? Bardin said. That said, the district still faces a challenge in meeting the state-mandated reductions. A series of town hall meetings intended to educate the public about the new rules is being planned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a drought. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being asked to cut a lot of water (use) and everyone is going to have to sacrifice for that,â&#x20AC;? said district spokeswoman Jessica Parks.

SOHO receives major bequest from former longtime RSF resident’s estate
La Jolla Cultural Partners
Save Our Heritage Organisation, the region’s leading preservation group, has received an estimated $750,000 bequest from the estate of Phyllis Paul, a longtime SOHO member and prominent preservationist of Rancho Santa Fe over four decades. “SOHO is honored by Phyllis’ generosity and vision in providing unrestricted funds to continue our preservation work. We already deeply miss her dedication, energy, and passion,” said SOHO Executive Director Bruce Coons. “As one of Rancho Santa Fe’s earliest and most ardent preservationists, she was rightly called ‘the conscience of the Ranch and its history.’ We were privileged to join forces with her to assist the acquisition and preservation of the 1836 Osuna Adobe in the center of Rancho Santa Fe.” Phyllis Hammond Paul was born in Berkeley. In 1931, Phyllis Paul she was selected for a pioneering lifelong study of 250 children by the Institute for Human Development at UC Berkeley. In 1943, she graduated from Stanford University with a bachelor of arts degree in art and architecture. Paul moved to Rancho Santa Fe with her husband and children in 1974 and soon became involved in preserving the village’s history and architectural character. Her first project for the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society was a crucial one: a survey of historical homes and commercial buildings, mostly designed during the 1920s by master architect Lilian Rice, in the planned civic center. The survey led to some of the buildings being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Paul continued to lead surveys of additional significant buildings and the monitoring of historic properties after she founded the Historic Preservation Committee of the local governing body, the Rancho Santa Fe Association. Paul was instrumental in the association’s 2006 purchase of the endangered Juan María Osuna Adobe (1836) and its surrounding 28 natural, rural acres. One of California’s oldest adobes, it still stands on a knoll in the heart of what is now Rancho Santa Fe. During the Mexican period, Osuna was the first alcalde, or mayor, of the pueblo of San Diego, and he divided his time between Old Town San Diego and this rancho. In 2007, SOHO honored the Rancho Santa Fe Association, including Paul, with a People in Preservation Award for acquiring the Osuna property from a developer to ensure its preservation and restoration. Paul co-edited the book “Rancho Santa Fe: A California Village,” published in 1993 and
now in its fifth edition, and wrote a guide to the Ranch’s historic homes and buildings. In 2011, she received the Ben Dixon Award, the highest honor the Congress of History of San Diego & Imperial Counties bestows on an individual, for her leadership and advocacy of historic preservation in Rancho Santa Fe. She was 91 when she died in June 2013. Since 1969, the nonprofit SOHO has raised awareness and appreciation of our region’s architectural, cultural and environmental heritage. SOHO is nationally recognized as a preservation leader, known for effective community organizing, forged partnerships, negotiating skills, and legal expertise. Among the many landmarks SOHO has saved are the Hotel del Coronado, the Santa Fe Depot, the Villa Montezuma, and Horton Plaza’s Irving Gill-designed fountain, which is on SOHO’s logo. More recently, SOHO successfully led a three-year battle to save Balboa Park from a proposed massive roadway, overpass and parking structure that would have destroyed forever the park’s century-old historical heart. For information on SOHO’s special exhibitions, tours and events that commemorate the centennial of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition all year, visit www.SOHOsandiego. org or call 619-297-9327.

In commemoration of the centennial anniversary of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition held in San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Balboa Park, the fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Fair to Remember, A Celebration of Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fairs and Balboa Park.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real fitting tribute for the county fair to acknowledge this very historic moment with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme,â&#x20AC;? said San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer during a press conference and fair preview on May 20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps to celebrate Balboa Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, it elevates the centennial to a truly regional event and it promotes San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crown jewel on a whole new level.â&#x20AC;? Set to open June 5, the month-long fair will feature â&#x20AC;&#x153;It All Started at a Fair,â&#x20AC;? an exhibit that celebrates Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fairs and their contributions to global culture over the past
165 years. The exhibit will emphasize the Panama-California Exposition, which celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal, as well as highlighting inventions that were first introduced at fairs, such as the bicycle, telephone, ice cream cone and Ferris wheel. The fair will also demonstrate how agriculture was, and still is, at the core of fairs and expositions. The 22nd District Agricultural Association, a state agency that operates the fairgrounds, sponsors the fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The San Diego County Fair is proud to honor the mission of the 22nd District Agricultural Association by bringing together our agricultural heritage with family-friendly attractions and exhibits,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The San Diego County Fair is a premium value, providing entertainment and fun that gives families a reason to visit the fair year after year, numerous times during the 25-day run.â&#x20AC;?

ty and one of the top 10 fairs in the United States and Canada, the San Diego County Fair attracts more than 1.4 million fairgoers each year. With nine stages of entertainment, Fennell predicted this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair would break attendance records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Due to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme and this oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to partner with our friends from Balboa Park and the city of San Diego, I predict, in 2015, we will make history and we will break all records,â&#x20AC;? he said. The nightly Summer Concert Series opens June 5 with KC and the Sunshine Band. Other artists include Gary Allan on June 6, Peter Frampton and Cheap Trick on June 10, Colbie Caillat on June 13, Christina Perri on June 17, Switchfoot on July 19 and Little Big Town on June 24. Comedian Dana Carvey will perform on the Fourth of July. In addition to animal exhibits, car shows and rides, the fair will also include the San Diego International Beer Festival, the Toast of the Coast Wine Festival and the new Distilled Spirit and Cocktail Festival. Of course, salty, sweet and unusual foods will also be available. Fair favorite Chicken Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food stand is back, and this year heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frying something for everyone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even the â&#x20AC;&#x153;health-conscious.â&#x20AC;? Among Chicken Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new creations is a deep-fried Slimfast bar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big fan of the bars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I truly am,â&#x20AC;? said Charlie Boghosian, admitting he struggles with his weight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every once in a while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll deep-fry one to treat myself,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my favorite things is deep-fried Oreos and this tastes just as good.â&#x20AC;? Boghosian has served fried food at the
fair for 32 years, 20 years as the owner of the famous Chicken Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This is the first time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back since he opened FryBQ in Clairemont last fall. Although fans can get their hands on some of their fried favorites at the restaurant, its focus is on barbecue food, including ribs and chicken and waffles. Last year, Boghosianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top seller at the fair was a triple cheeseburger on Krispy Kreme doughnuts instead of buns. He said he sold about 24,000 triple-decker burgers, which are back on Chicken Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu this year. Another new concoction for the fair is the deep-fried peanut butter pickle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a hollowed pickle filled with peanut butter and then deep-fried in pancake batter and topped with chocolate syrup, powdered sugar and sprinkles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy the people, the smell, the sounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the food,â&#x20AC;? Boghosian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing better. Where else can you go to se this kind of variety? From the baked to the fried, all the different varieties are unbelievable.â&#x20AC;?

The Spice Way aims to make cooking easy, fun and even more healthful BY DIANE Y. WELCH If you’re tired of preparing routine meals for your family and feel that your culinary fare is past its sell-by date, The Spice Way can help. Located in the Vons Shopping Center, on El Camino Real in Encinitas, the newly opened store is brimming from wall-to-wall with aromatic spices, healthy herbs, flavorful fruit blends, olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar and more, along with kitchenware and creative recipes to make cooking easy and fun. The store is celebrating its grand opening from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 7. During the family-friendly opening, there will be a live cooking demonstration, giveaway products, free recipes, tasty samplings, opportunity drawings for kitchenware, teaware and spice racks with spices, coupons, introductory pricing and special activities for kids. Owner Debbie Kornberg will also demonstrate how fresh tahini is made from sesame seeds, using a mechanized grinder. Various flavors of halva — the dessert version of tahini — will be available for tasting. Integrating hundreds of years of knowledge with modern-day know-how, the concept behind the store’s unique product lines is based on a simple premise: that using spices and herbs enhances health and well-being. “Everything we have here has some health benefit to it,” Kornberg explained. “Whether it’s spices and herbs that we combine in blends to add to meat, poultry or seafood, or gourmet blends for potatoes, pasta, rice, salads and dips, everything is all-natural and nonGMO.” The store carries a variety of ethnic blends using Mediterranean, Italian and Asian spices. “We also carry the spices individually, whole or ground, like cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, garlic and more,” said Kornberg. Tea comes in loose green and black tea-leaf blends, long known for their anti-oxidant benefits, and colorful fruit infusion blends. “These are really unique,” said Kornberg. These dried fruit blends include wild fruit, rosehips, citrus, melon, pomegranate and tropical fruits. The Spice Way is the first store to open in the United States of what will soon be a national franchise. Kornberg, a longtime Carmel Valley resident, was introduced to the business idea by a colleague while she worked at the Jewish Federation of San Diego County. Kornberg’s husband is senior rabbi at Carmel Valley’s Congregation Beth Am, and they are both active in the Jewish community. Like many working moms, Kornberg still prepares the family meals for her husband and two teenagers, and was looking for healthy creative options in the kitchen. The Spice Way solved her problem. “Their products really lend themselves to getting a healthy meal on the table, using spices and herbs to get you there,” Kornberg said. You don’t have to be a gourmet chef to have fun in the kitchen and that daily question,
Debbie Kornberg will be demonstrating how to make tahini at the grand opening June 7 of The Spice Way in Encinitas. Photo courtesy Del Rio Studios “What am I going to do for dinner tonight?” is easily solved, she added. Getting dinner on the table quickly spoke to Kornberg, as her son is vegetarian and she makes dinner twice. “Now I can use the same blends on the chicken or meat dish and also on a tofu-based dish for my son.” The Spice Way grows, dries, and blends its own herbs and spices. A huge variety of high-quality products is attractively displayed in the store, with informational signs explaining how to use them. The Spice Way staff shares its extensive knowledge with visitors, offering helpful suggestions on how to use the herbs. For more about The Spice Way, visit www.thespiceway.com or like its Facebook page, facebook/The Spice Way-San Diego. Call 760-634-9709 for hours. The store is at 260-B N. El Camino Real, Encinitas.

Program aims to put youngsters on track to successful animal training BY DIANE Y. WELCH For local young animal lovers, a unique summer program is being offered — “Junior Animal Trainer.” Encinitas-based animal expert Britta Wilson is heading the program. This is its pilot year, but Wilson said she hopes to offer the workshops year-round in the future. Children will learn to train animals using positive reinforcement and clicker training techniques proven to be effective for training dogs and other pets. Workshops, held in a private Leucadia residence, are designed for students 11 through 14 years, and 14 through 18 years, who may want to work in the animal field someday as caregivers or trainers. Classes for the younger group will be held from 9-10 a.m. Tuesdays on June 30, July 7, 14, 21, 28 and Aug. 4. Classes for the older group will be held from 9-10 a.m. Thursdays on July 1, 9, 16, 23, 30 and Aug. 6. There will be home assignments to practice new skills, and the last class will be an opportunity for students to showcase their techniques and the new behaviors their dogs have learned. All students will receive a Junior Animal Trainer Certificate, and the dogs will receive a graduation present. “I’m expecting children to bring their family dog to class, so the dogs must already be friendly and social,” said Wilson. “I’ll send out a questionnaire to students ahead of time and have them fill it out to make sure that their pet will be able to attend the class, too.” The clicker training she offers may be generalized to any animal. “So you can learn
The
with your pet dog, but you can train any animal that can perceive a cue, even your pet turtle, guinea pig or cat,” Wilson explained. The method uses a clicking sound that lets animals know that a treat will follow when they are compliant with the handler’s request. “Eventually, that sound becomes more reinforcing than the treat itself and it’s something the animals really enjoy. It’s a fun way of training and is mentally stimulating for the animal,” Wilson explained. Unlike some training methods, clicker training doesn’t involve any kind of corrections, dominance or punishment for the animals. It’s all voluntary, said Wilson. “You are working with their minds. I see animals blossom with this type of training.” The workshops offer a rare opportunity for young animal lovers to have hands-on learning with Wilson, whose background includes a lifelong love of animals and certified credentials through the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior. It is the same type of training that Wilson used when she worked as a zoo keeper, an endeavor that she undertook starting in 1993 when she was an intern at the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park in Santa Ana. She graduated from Long Beach State University that same year with a bachelor of arts in psychology, a minor in biology and an emphasis in animal behavior, and was offered a full-time position at the Santa Ana Zoo. From there, she held various positions at San Diego’s Wild Animal Park and the San Diego Zoo. In 2003, she transferred to the San Diego Zoo’s Shows Division, training, handling and caring for exotic animals, which included cheetahs, an arctic wolf,

Horizon Prep celebrates young authors From the festive table decorations and flip-flop shaped cookies to the beach buckets filled with jelly beans, summer was the theme of the final Author’s Tea of the school year at Horizon Prep. The Author’s Tea honors students in grades 1-8 who write above grade level or who have greatly improved in their writing skills. “Author’s Tea is only held four times a year,” said Horizon Prep Librarian Kelly Hendrickson, “so it is an honor to be chosen.” Sixteen students read their selections to a supportive crowd of friends and family. Afterward, everyone was given an opportunity to socialize with the young authors and enjoy the summer-inspired treats.

Courtesy photo live DJ and face painting with boba tea stand and other concessions for purchase. This is the club’s first year on campus, founded by freshman Sarah Teruya, who lost a close friend to cancer two years ago. The club’s goal is to provide a greater understanding of cancer and it hosts weekly informational lunchtime meetings. They hold fundraising bake sales and support off-campus cancer organizations such as the American Cancer Foundation, Relay for Life and Susan G. Komen San Diego. In November, the club participated in San Diego’s Light the Night Walk. The experience prompted members to host their own community event. “So many people are affected by cancer in the world, and this walk allowed us to connect to each other and realize that we aren’t alone in this journey. This walk made us realize that life is fragile and we cannot take it for granted,” wrote club member Rachel Fu on the club website. “The survivors inspired us to stay positive and thankful for what we have and to take care of ourselves. This humbling experience made us warriors to help and support cancer patients and their families.” Pre-registration is encouraged at ccacancerawareness.weebly.com.

Let’s talk about something retirement communities hardly ever mention. Accreditation. Because having the confidence and peace of mind of accreditation is important. So, let’s talk. La Vida Del Mar is accredited by CARF International. It’s an independent organization that sets exceedingly high standards for care and service. It’s a lot like an accreditation for a hospital or college. Or a five-star rating for a hotel. But like most things in life, you have to see it to believe it. So, let’s talk some more at a complimentary lunch and tour. Please call 858.345.2521 to schedule.

RSF Literary Society learns about luxurious Paris hotel as setting for wartime intrigue BY JOE TASH During the Nazi occupation of Paris in World War II, the Hotel Ritz was an island of neutrality, a kind of Switzerland in the middle of a city under the yoke of a brutal regime. But the hotel was also a place of luxury and intrigue: Wealthy socialites, celebrities and top Nazi officials dined at sumptuous banquets while spies and members of the Resistance plotted. The story of this legendary hotel, founded in the late 1890s by Swiss hotelier César Ritz, is contained in the pages of “The Hotel on Place Vendôme” (HarperCollins 2014), by Tilar J. Mazzeo, the featured speaker at the May 15 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at the Grand Del Mar Resort in Carmel Valley. The cast of characters who lived at or frequented the hotel during the early 1940s —while France was occupied by German troops — included such luminaries as American novelist Ernest “Papa” Hemingway, designer Coco Chanel and philosopher/writer Jean-Paul Sartre. Also on hand were top Nazis, including Reichs-
marschall Hermann Göring and Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel, one of the ringleaders of Operation Valkyrie, a failed attempt to assassinate Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Film stars from France and America, well-known journalists and even members of British royalty rounded out the cast of characters in Mazzeo’s book. Mazzeo said in an interview that she began the book after coming across numerous mentions of the hotel, and some of its wellknown inhabitants, while reviewing wartime documents from the French and British governments. She became fascinated by the interactions of the wide range of people who passed through the hotel during the occupation. “It’s kind of the ricochet effect,” she said. Among the objects of her interest were members of the hotel staff, who had a unique vantage point from which to observe the goingson. At least four separate Resistance groups operated out of the Hotel Ritz, including one involving the head bartender, Frank Meier. Both Claude and Blanche Auzello, the chief director of the hotel and his wife, ran Resis-

Blanche Auzello was even known to sneak down into the hotel basement to open blackout curtains, to help Allied pilots refine their targets during bombing raids. After the Nazis arrived in the French capital, the hotel was divided in two — one part for the German officers, the other for the rest of the guests. A certain civility reigned in spite of the war raging just outside its walls. “In the dining rooms of the grand hotel, the outward trappings of the war and its treacheries were suspended — at least on the surface. German officers during the occupation set aside their uniforms and, more often than not, French was the language of conversation. The Parisians who dined with them adopted a pose of studied neutrality in exchange for their pleasures. Over ‘roundtable’ luncheons, the economics of collaboration were hammered out among designers, industrialists, diplomats and politicians. The conversations at the Hotel Ritz laid the foundations for the establishment of today’s European Union,” Mazzeo wrote. While the Parisians who remained in the Hotel Ritz
during the occupation got along well with the occupiers, things were much less cozy after the Allies chased the Germans out of the capital in 1944, as the tide of the war turned. Those who had had anything to do with the Germans — including women who engaged in sexual relationships with Nazi officers — were subject to scorn, abuse and imprisonment. The term for such women, said Mazzeo, was “horizontal collaborators,” and punishment was exacted, even if the women had acted out of desperation to help their families. Crowds of vigilantes shaved the heads of such women, marched them through the streets in their underwear, and in some cases, carved or tattooed swastikas on their foreheads, Mazzeo said. The prevailing view in France in the years immediately after the war, Mazzeo said, was that, “if you didn’t resist and you had any kind of contact with the Germans, that was a kind of collaboration.” Mazzeo’s book is rich with detail, from the champagnefueled parties Hemingway held in his room, to the fur rugs and silk designer sleeping bags kept for the guests’ comfort in the hotel’s underground bomb shelter. In one scene, Coco Chanel’s servant follows her into the shelter, carrying her mistress’s gas mask on a satin pillow. The hotel is closed for renovations and is set to reopen later this year. Before it closed, though, Mazzeo soaked up atmosphere in the Ritz’s famous bar, although she didn’t stay at the hotel — the cheapest rooms went for about $1,100 a night, she said. At the conclusion of her book, Mazzeo wonders whether the remodeling project will launch a new age of glory for the fabled hotel, which originally opened in 1898. “And on the Place Vendôme, for the third time in its 115-year history, the Hotel Ritz is reopening, this time after another cutting-edge, $164 million renovation. Perhaps for a second time, it will bring a new generation of global expatriates back to the always beautiful city of Paris.

Buying a Home? Build a Financial Team Thanks to low mortgage rates, high net-worth buyers have recently found great success in purchasing luxury homes, especially over the last six months. For example, according to Bloomberg, in the second quarter of 2014, banks approved more than 15,000 mortgage loans ranging from $1 million to $10 million.
And these numbers have continued into 2015. Wealthy buyers are seeing the opportunity with these mortgage rates to jump on lucrative properties. This is coming at a time when many first-time home buyers are still struggling to get a loan. The main difference is that, “high net worth borrowers don’t have to borrow. They choose to, so they’re very strategic about what, why and when to borrow,” says Erin Gorman, managing director at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. If you find yourself in a similar situation and are looking to strategically take advantage of the currently low mortgage rates or are simply looking to move your family to a luxury home in a beautiful location, it is important to plan correctly from the outset. For any large financial decision you most
likely have a “financial team.” This may include your CPA, your attorney, and your financial planner. The key, however, when purchasing a home, is adding a trusted loan officer to that financial team. Here are some reasons why adding a loan officer to your plans from the beginning can help: Financial health. With a trusted, experienced financial team in place, you can ensure that you won’t be making an emotional purchase, but rather one that is smart for your financial well-being, both in the present and the future. Price range. With a loan officer on board, your team can wisely arrive at the proper price range in which you should be looking. The right mortgage. Your loan officer will know which type of mortgage is best suited for your financial situation in conjunction
with the price range your team established. Vested. Your loan officer also has the experience to make sure that the mortgage is vested correctly. Approved. If included from the very beginning, a loan officer can ensure that you are fully approved to buy the home even before you select a real estate agent. Assets verified. Everything will go much smoother down the road – like verifying assets for the transaction – if the loan officer is able to do this from the outset.

Board of San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority announces new executive director The board of directors of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority announced the selection of Kevin McKernan as its new executive director. McKernan has more than six years of experience as executive officer of two state conservancies, and as a program director with the Conservation Lands Foundation. He has also served as an environmental director and planner for two Native American tribes. McKernan’s most recent position is as the executive officer of the San Diego River Conservancy. Among his new responsibilities with San Dieguito River Park will be directing the JPA’s operations, which include managing 11 employees involved in planning, constructing, and maintaining the park’s trails, habitat and improvements. McKernan will start his new position on June 29. “The San Dieguito River Park is pleased to select Kevin McKernan for this leadership role,” said Board Chairman Don Mosier. “We believe Kevin will continue the great progress being made by the park. He brings a strong background in conservation management and outdoor recreation, and a real passion for and commitment to his profession.” McKernan assumes a position held for 16 years by Richard Bobertz, who recently retired. The San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority manages more than 55 miles of habitat and trails for hikers, bicyclists, and equestrians that stretch from Volcan Mountain in northeast San Diego County to its ocean outlet at the beach in Del Mar. More than 70 miles of trails exist within the park, of which the primary feature is the Coast to Crest Trail. The San Dieguito River Park is a joint powers agency among the cities of Del Mar, Escondido, Poway, San Diego, and Solana Beach, and the County of San Diego. The long-term mission of the JPA is to finish the planning and construction of the Coast to Crest Trail from Del Mar to Julian, of which two-thirds is already complete and available for public use.
