Water district approves agricultural exemption from mandatory cuts

BY JOE TASH Commercial agricultural customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District have been granted an exemption from the severe cuts in water use facing the rest of the district’s customers.

Instead of having to cut 45 percent of their outdoor water use as residential customers must, commercial growers will have to cut

back about 15 percent, after a decision Thursday, June 18, by the water district’s board of directors.

“I think this is a goodnews story,” said district General Manager Michael Bardin.

Earlier this year, in an unprecedented move, Gov. Jerry Brown ordered state residents to reduce their water usage by 25 percent, as

San Dieguito Union High School District enrollment workshop slated for Aug. 31

BY KAREN BILLING A tentative date of Aug. 31 has been set for a workshop on how the San Dieguito Union High School District will enroll high school students in the future, including the possibility of drawing new boundaries. At that meeting, there will be a presentation on the options, limited public comment and board discussion with a recommendation on what they would like the district to do.

At the June 16 district meeting, Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district’s recent commitment to add more classes to La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines high schools in the 201617 school year may put a dent in the high school enrollment challenges facing the district.

One of the No. 1 drivers of students to the openenrollment academies of San Dieguito and Canyon Crest is the bell schedule and program options; Schmitt hopes that giving students more options will affect how people feel about high school enrollment.

Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services, said the district received 2,175 responses from their survey on enrollment, a 10 percent response rate. His summer reading assignment includes going through all of those surveys to ensure the board has all of the information needed to make a decision. The survey input will be paired with input from the six public meetings that were held.

With the district’s current enrollment practice, San Dieguito and CCA are open boundary schools. If more students select the school than See WORKSHOP, page 17

PRESORTED STANDARD U.S. POSTAGE PAID SAN DIEGO, CA PERMIT 1980

California endured the fourth year of an ongoing drought. State water regulators then ordered water districts around the state to cut their use by a range of 4 to 36 percent to meet the governor’s statewide target. Because Santa Fe has one of the highest per capita rates of water use in the state, Santa Fe was ordered to cut its usage by 36 percent.

However, regulators allowed districts to provide an exemption for agricultural growers.

Rancho Santa Fe residents Sara and Jim Buehner attended the meeting and urged the board to adopt the exemption. The couple have about 100 lemon trees on their three-acre property.

“If we don’t get the exemption … we’re definitely

going to lose the trees,” Sara Buehner said.

Last month, the Santa Fe District board approved water allocations, or rationing, for the first time in the district’s 92-year history.

Those who exceed their monthly allotment of water — or violate new restrictions, such as watering only See WATER, page 17

Raitt rocks Waitt gala concert for foster children in San Diego

The legendary Bonnie Raitt rocked the crowd at the seventh annual Promises2Kids “Dream On” concert June 8 held once again at the La Jolla hilltop home of board member Joan Waitt.

The event’s presenting sponsor was Kevin Prior, CEO of ICW Group Employees, working with gala chairs Waitt, Deborah Marengo, Abeer Hage, Lynda Kerr, Jolene Perry and May Zawaideh to raise funds for programs that serve more than 3,000 foster children in San Diego County.

The party included a VIP reception, sit-down dinner provided by Pamplemousse Grille, hosted cocktails, live and silent auctions, and a performance by the Grammy award-winning Raitt, who sang many of her classics.

High school district board approves 2015-16 budget, accountability plan

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board adopted its Local Control Accountability Plan and 2015-16 budget at its June 16 meeting. In the next school year, the district’s funding will transition from Basic Aid to the Local Control Funding For-

mula and is expected to see a 3 percent increase in property taxes and an increase in state funding as well as onetime discretionary state funding.

The budget projects revenues of $92 million with $87 million in expenditures and $21 million in reserves.

The budget was ap-

proved in a 4-1 vote with trustee Mo Muir opposed.

Muir said she still wants more counselors and lower class sizes and she has not seen that represented in the budget. She also still has concerns about the new associate superintendent position and the $30,000 increase in salary.

Superintendent Rick Schmitt reiterated that the new position and salary increase is cost- neutral because of the re-organization of the educational services department. Muir maintained that she does not believe it to be cost-neutral.

The Local Control Accountability Plan, a require-

ment of all school districts as a result of the Local Control Funding Formula, accounts for how the district will spend allocated funding from the state for the next three years.

Rancho Santa Fe Association Board Biz: Focus on water conservation — we can do this!

BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD Back in April, I wrote about the Water Savings Check Up offered to residents by the Santa Fe Irrigation District. This is a free consulting program designed to help residents analyze their water usage, especially irrigation use, and to find ways to reduce overall water usage. All residential users in RSF are now faced with Level 3 Mandatory Water Use Restrictions, and a mandate from SFID to reduce our water use by 45 percent from 2013 levels.

Most of us are seeking some guidance in attempting to reach that goal.

About three years ago, my husband and I began reevaluating our landscaping and use of water for irrigation. With the help of a professional landscaper, our first step was to take out some turf and overgrown vegetation.

Next, we began a complete overhaul of the irrigation system. This meant replacing old valves and becoming more vigilant about spotting and fixing leaks.

Over the past 2 1/2 years, we have replaced spray irrigation with drip lines where possible and installed new MP rotator sprinkler heads.

Landscapers and SFID rec-

Ann Boon ommend both as water-efficient irrigation tools.

And, of course, we continue to look at places to remove turf and to install more drought-tolerant plants.

When the Water Savings consultant came to our house in April, we had already seen reductions in our water use due to the efforts we had made over the past two years. He was able to offer us some fine-tuning tips.

• Install an upgraded rain sensor to our controller.

• Monitor the meter on a weekly or semi-weekly basis.

• Install a separate meter to monitor just the irrigation water.

• Keep up with preventive maintenance, such as replacing old irrigation valve diaphragms, defective nozzles, etc.

Since then, we cut our watering days and times to meet the new requirements

and we have been monitoring our water meter every week, not just to record our usage, but also to catch the first sign of any leaks. The turf that we have now is a little brown, but everything else looks healthy.

Meanwhile, I went online to sfidwater.org and found our historical usage for 2014 and 2013. When our bill arrived for April and May 2015, here is what I discovered: We had reduced our water usage by 40 percent compared with the same period in 2014, and a whopping 60 percent compared with the same period in 2013.

Were we overwatering in 2013? Probably. We were transplants from the wetlands of the Midwest and needed to be schooled in landscaping for the dry, Southern California climate.

It took us a few years to find educated professionals to help us. By conscientiously following the steps that SFID and others recommended, we have made a huge dent in our water usage. We will continue to make changes and hope to decrease our usage even more.

I know our case is just one small example. The steps we took were basic ones. Many of you have made extraordinary progress in cutting your water use as

well, often with much more drastic and creative measures to incorporate new landscaping than we took. I’d love to hear from you if you would like to share your experiences. (Perhaps we can convince the Rancho Santa Fe Review to write an article featuring you and your success stories.) Throughout the Covenant, we can see signs of less watering and more drought-tolerant landscaping.

Rest assured that the Association is trying hard to be a leader in reducing water consumption as well. Manager Bill Overton has directed staff to make water conservation a top priority. Ar-

nold Keene, director of Parks and Recreation, has made great strides in changing plantings and reducing water use for irrigation throughout all Associationowned and maintained properties.

Our Manager, in collaboration with Mike Bardin, general manager of SFID, is leading an Emergency Water Task Force to develop methods to meet this crisis. And, along with our neighboring communities, they will be working with CSD and other local agencies to find longterm reclaimed-water solutions to the ongoing challenge of water scarcity in our area.

In RSF, it is also critical that we find ways to use water wisely without increasing our vulnerability to wildfires. As Mike Bardin said last week: “We’re facing the challenge of a generation when it comes to water.”

I believe that if there are people anywhere in California who have the will and the ability to meet these challenges, they are the members of RSFA. I know that we can be leaders in protecting the environment and conserving our natural resources — especially water.

SD council renews joint funding for North County river park plan

BY DAVID GARRICK SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW Plans for a 55-mile hiking and bicycling oasis between Del Mar and Julian got a boost on Tuesday, June 16, when the San Diego City Council approved a new 50-year agreement to continue jointly funding the project with the county and four North County cities.

The agreement comes after San Diego officials had threatened to stop participating in the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, which was formed in 1989. Since then, 34 of the park’s planned 55 miles have been acquired and preserved.

The pact includes a long list of policy changes requested by San Diego, primarily related to control over the park’s financial decisions. The other cities involved are Escondido, Poway, Solana Beach and Del Mar. Tuesday’s approval was hailed as a key step forward by city and river park officials. “This important action will allow for continuing the completion of the 55-mile ‘coast to crest’ trail,� said Mark Ochenduszko, interim director of the JPA. “We are pleased that all the member agencies were

able to agree to a new 50-year agreement.�

Councilman Mark Kersey, whose district includes part of the park, praised the financial changes. “The amended contract safeguards the city from unknown liability, ensures the residents are getting what they’re paying for and helps protect our watershed,� he said.

Councilwoman Sherri Lightner agreed. “Significant effort was put into untangling the knots of the JPA budget,� she said.

The agreement creates a new funding formula based on population of a member agency and how much of the park’s land they control. It also calls for weighted votes on financial decisions, with San Diego and the county having more power.

San Diego and the county now pay $295,000 each, Escondido pays $119,000, Poway pays $92,000, Solana Beach pays $65,000 and Del Mar pays $55,000.

There is also a 5 percent cap on annual fee increases, but cities that stop paying — something San Diego did under Mayor Jerry Sanders — lose voting rights.

The agreement also addresses how the river park’s assets would be divided up if the JPA is ever dissolved.

‘Concerts at the Cove’ series kicks off in Solana Beach The city of Solana Beach and the Belly Up Tavern presented the first free summer “Concerts at the Cove� event of the summer June 18 at Fletcher Cove. Palominos performed.

Next up from 6-7:45 p.m. : •June 25: Billy Watson Band; •July 2: 1st Marine Division Jazz Combo. Concerts are held every Thursday at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach. For information, visit www.cityofsolanabeach.org or call the Parks and Recreation Department at 858720-2453.

Rancho Santa Fe’s Carolyn Nichols extends tennis dynasty that started on a farm

BY GIDEON RUBIN The Nichols family has over the years yielded a variety of crops ranging from cotton, sugar beets and alfalfa to the almonds and pistachios for which it’s better known today.

The Central Valley farm also spawned an interest in tennis that’s grown into a seniors circuit dynasty.

Rancho Santa Fe resident Carolyn Nichols is among those who’ve made the biggest mark in the sport. Earlier this month, she helped lead the Alice Marble Cup team to a first-place finish at the ITF Seniors World Team Championships in La Baule, France.

She also won the ITF individual singles and doubles titles in the over-60s. The ITF tournament is considered the senior equivalent of the Davis Cup and Fed Cup competitions in tennis.

Nichols has been a nationally ranked player over a span of four decades starting in 1989, when she played on a No. 1 ranked doubles team (30s) and was the No. 1 singles

player (35s).

She is the daughter of Graydon Nichols, a nationally ranked player in the 85s at the age of 89.

Between the two of them, they’ve won over 85 championships.

“Hard work pays off,” Carolyn Nichols said of how the values passed from one generation on the family farm have tied to the success she and other family members have enjoyed in tennis.

“For me,” she said, “tennis doesn’t come easy.”

And it wasn’t easy starting a family tennis tradition in the first half of the last century in a rural community where the sport wasn’t played competitively.

Graydon, who was among eight siblings, learned to play from his older sister Lucille after the two of them persuaded their parents to let them clear a patch of dirt.

They found a net and balls and lined a makeshift court with ashes.

Lucille went on to earn No. 1 NorCal

C a r o l y n ’s mother, Virginia Nichols, also won an ITF world doubles title.

Graydon has won 50 USTA gold balls and seven ITF world titles. He’s played on 11 Carolyn Nichols has been a nationally ranked player Cup teams.

C a r o l y n for four decades, starting Nichols was in 1989. Right: Carolyn raised in a rural Nichols in action. Photo by area of Tulare Susan Mullane County between Hanford and Tulare (near the Kings County line), where the nearest tennis club was 50 miles away. She played Hanford High School, where she started on the junior varsity as a freshman and was the team’s No. 1 player her junior and senior years.

Her most recent victory was her 13th ITF World Seniors Team Championship. It was particularly satisfying, she said, because the United States lost the Alice Marble Cup last year in Turkey. Nichols was not old enough to play on the team last year, but was in Turkey as an ITF representative.

“It was important to bring it back to the U.S.,” she said.

Few things, in fact, are more important to Nichols than promoting a senior tennis circuit that she believes doesn’t get the coverage it deserves.

Nichols has promoted the sport, writing for the USTA National adult/senior, Senior International and ITF seniors websites, and contributed to several publications including Inside Tennis.

She was a 2008 SoCal media award winner for volunteer writing efforts.

“I try to promote senior tennis because it means so much to me,” she said. “The senior players really appreciate it and tell me as much.

“It keeps me going.”

Nichols’ passion for the sport has shown no signs of slowing down.

She’s also been USTA San Diego District Tennis Association board member since 2010, and a USTA Southern California Tennis Association board member since 2011. She’s been on the SoCa Adult/Senior Committee since 2011, and was a captain of the Women’s Intersectional 55s team from 2010 to 2011.

“I have such a passion for tennis; I love it,” she said.

Nichols laments the lack of coverage her sport gets in the mainstream press, noting that “senior players influence others to play, their children, neighbors, grandchildren, and also many teach tennis, so they reach more players than ordinary players.”

She considers travel one of the perks of playing competitive tennis. She’s played on every continent except Antarctica, with experiences that have connected her to different cultures and new friends.

Along the way she’s sampled some of the world’s finest eats, too, including breads from the bakeries of Germany as well as the famous cheeses and sausages of France. She’s gained an appreciation for other delicacies she’s learned about on her travels, such as the pide in Turkey (“it’s bread, cheese and possibly other toppings and shaped like a canoe, and there are restaurants devoted to it,” she said).

“It really makes me want to learn more languages,” she said, adding that she took audio lessons before her most recent visit to France.

But some things inevitably get lost in translation.

Such was the case in La Baule, when she said two American players who spoke no French packed what they assumed were fully cooked eggs for lunch (they were set out at their hotel next to an egg cooker with instructions in French).

“They broke, of course,” Nichols said. “You had to be there to see the expressions on their faces.”

RSF Boots, Bridles and Barns tour opens the gates July 11 to upscale equine estates

BY DIANE Y. WELCH In a break from tradition, the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society’s annual fundraising summer home tour has been transformed into a tour of five fine equine estates.

The Boots, Bridles and Barns tour will take place from 1:30-5 p.m. July 11. These equine facilities are some of the most upscale in the nation and are home to pleasure, hunter/ jumper and dressage horses.

The five locations, on multimillion-dollar estates in Rancho Santa Fe, are being kept under wraps until the day of the tour to add an element of mystery, according to Peggy Brooks, tour co-chairman. At check-in time, attendees will receive a tour booklet where all will be re- The estates on the tour are some of the most upscale in the nation, said Peggy vealed.

Each facility is architecturally designed. Brooks, tour co-chairman.

“I’ve been around horses all my life, and this (tour) takes the cake,” said Brooks. “These truly are five-star equine accommodations on magnificent properties.”

One of the facilities has a horse spa along with two treadmills, “because the horses like to look at each other while exercising,” said Joanne Fishman, Historical Society vice president.

Check-in begins at 11 a.m. at the Historical Society headquarters at La Flecha House, at 6036 La Flecha, in the ranch village. The early check-in time will give guests an opportunity to have refreshments or lunch first in nearby eateries before departure.

Designated buses will take tour guests to each barn, where volunteer docents will serve as guides and give the story of each facility.

The bus schedule is designed to fit the pace of each attendee, circulating back to La Flecha House to pick up guests along the way. The tour concludes at 5:30 p.m., but the event continues.

A “Hoedown” party has been planned in the village after the tour, where food and drink may be purchased, with live music, dancing and live and silent auction.

“We have some fabulous auction items,” said Fishman. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club donated a special package of 12 single-day admission tickets with VIP treatment that

Tres Palomas estate is one of five on the Historical Society’s Boots, Bridles and Barns Tour. Courtesy photo includes a table in the private Director’s Room, valet parking for six, private viewing of the early morning workout and breakfast with the horsemen, paddock tour and more.

Other auction items include riding lessons, dinner for four at Red Tracton’s Steak House, strands of pearls, a private dinner for eight on a horse property prepared by three local chefs, a signed watercolor painting and much more.

Tickets for the barn tour, which includes the Hoedown, are $45 for members and $50 for non-members with advance registration required.

Baby boomer seeking next stage of life finds it in writing book

BY KRISTINA HOUCK After losing both his parents and his older brother, local resident Rick Bava left a career in the corporate world in search of his life’s next stage. His curiosity led to him to chronicle the baby boom generation, which he covers in his debut book, “In Search of the Baby Boomer Generation.� “I started to travel around the country in search of myself,� Bava said. “When all was said and done, I found the answer to a generation.�

Released June 12, “In Search of the Baby Boomer Generation� takes an up-close look at the baby boomers, the post–World War II generation born between 1946 and 1964, to which Bava belongs. “Hundreds of baby boomers’ input is reflected in the commentary of my book,� Bava said. “The book really reads as if you’re sitting across from someone at their kitchen table discussing where you’ve been, where you are and where you’re going as a baby boomer.�

Born in Chicago in December 1955, Bava went to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, at the age of 16, on a tennis scholarship. While studying, he advanced to play tennis on a professional level and later became a tennis instructor.

Bava earned a bachelor’s degree in communications with an emphasis in business at UW-Madison and later went on to take graduate courses at Harvard University Extension School before beginning his business career.

He had a 30-year corporate career in computers, with many years in the computer services division of the Boeing Company. He later founded the Bava Group, a communications consulting firm that served Fortune 500 companies.

When Bava lost his parents and brother, he left the corporate world and began searching for an “encore career,� work that combines continued income, greater personal meaning and social impact. “When you look at my life since I left college, it really falls into three categories,� said Bava. “It falls in the category of a young tennis player, and then the corporate world, and now, the encore career. You do something not only for the benefit of making a living, but to make a contribution to society.�

While contemplating his next stage in life, Bava began traveling around the country in 2009. During his travels, he noticed a void in the way the baby boomer generation’s story was being told, so he began to seek out their stories.

For more than two years, Bava traveled the country and talked with hundreds of boomers. From baseball games to grocery stores, Bava talked with people at a variety of places across many states.

At one point, he took a train across the United States and talked with baby boomers in the dining car. He also met a Santa Barbara couple looking to rent a room in their home. He ended up staying with them for a month, and profiles the couple in his book. “That’s just one of many, many stories,� Bava said. “I immersed myself with baby boomers from all walks of life and socio-economic classes. I spent time with people in their

homes and I discussed the issues most germane to baby boomers. “The issues ended up being the same,� he added. “You could have been a millionaire or someone who couldn’t put two nickels together, and a lot of the issues became constant.�

After finishing his interviews, Bava launched a blog in 2011, at the suggestion of his best friend. The success of the blog eventually led to Bava’s first book.

He began writing the monthly column, “The Baby Boomer Corner,� in Today’s Carmel Valley author Rick Bava has written “In Search of Senior Magazine and became the Baby Boom Generation� (Motivational Press). associated with the nationally syndicated Boomer Nation! radio show. “When I got finished traveling around the country, I had a lot of data,� Bava said. “Between the columns and what originally was the blog, it just seemed like it was natural to lend it to a book.�

Published by Motivational Press, the 278-page book covers topics of importance to baby boomers and includes some of Bava’s most popular columns. Some of the topics include caring for elderly parents, Social Security and Medicare, health and fitness, second careers, retirement, estate planning and more.

As a baby boomer, Bava said he often agreed with much of what he was told. “I have my own unique experiences as a baby boomer, so that provided the baseline, and there’s a lot of my own storyline weaved into the book,� he said. “But I did find a consistency of issues.�

Bava hopes baby boomers will identify with what they read in his book. Although the book is geared for them, he added that younger generations have also expressed interest and gained insight from the book. “I’m proud of the book, and I’m hoping that baby Boomers, if they read it, they’ll be proud of it, too,� Bava said.

Philosopher discusses the Vedantic way to achieve purpose and direction in life

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Living is a skill that may be learned much like playing an instrument, according to the teachings of Vedantic philosophy.

The more you learn about life and the more you practice the guidelines set down

by Vedanta, the more you will live a life of action and peace ultimately reaching the goal of self-realization, it affirms.

Acclaimed speaker Sunandaji Leelaram gave an intimate presentation about Vedanta on June 12 at the local home of Manish and Shital Parikh, devotees of the ancient Indian philosophy.

Sunandaji Leelaram is the daughter-disciple of Leelaram world-renowned Swami Parthasarathy, founder of the Vedanta Academy, a residential learning center on the outskirts of Mumbai, India. Opened in 1988, it educates young people — from age 15 and up — about the Vedantic philosophy, regardless of their race, culture or religion.

Her talk, “Attachment: An Eclipse on Life,” focused on the negative effects of attachment, whether to wealth, family, religion or ideology, and how critical thinking and intellectual development may combat it.

Before her presentation, Leelaram spoke to this paper about Vedanta’s ancient wisdom in contemporary thought.

“We are spreading the word not because it is ancient, not because it is Indian, but because it is a science of life and living and is little known,” said Leelaram.

It is especially important for young people to gain this knowledge before they enter into the mainstream of their own lives, she added.

“When you go to traditional schools or universities, you learn just about anything and everything, except to live. What I’m doing now is to bring this knowledge, in a little capsule, to the people here in the U.S.,” said Leelaram.

Vedanta is derived from two words: “veda,” or knowl-

edge, and “anta,” the culmination of knowledge.

The path to achieving the Vedantic way of life is simple, practical and logical. It aims to create a stress-free life for devotees by developing a strong intellect through exercising the faculty of questioning and reasoning.

At the residential academy, students receive materials that account for about 1 percent of their instruction, with 99 percent dedicated to self-directed efforts “to reflect on the various methods that we employ to ensure that they have the time to digest and assimilate the knowledge,” Leelaram explained.

Gaining knowledge is not in itself difficult, but bringing about the transformation that creates the conversion — from knowing the philosophy to actually living it — takes time.

“My father has spent over 60 years researching the subject and presenting it into a way that anyone over the age of 15 can understand,” said Leelaram.

Parthasarathy, 89, a former businessman turned eminent modern philosopher, has written many books on Vedanta. He has been featured on the cover of Time Magazine, Forbes and Business Week, and has spoken at several international business schools.

Based on the Vedas — the sacred scriptures of India — Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul and the harmony of religions.

In modern society, it is a common goal to be successful, dynamic and progressive, while also striving to be peaceful, happy and content. “But we see celebrities that seemingly have everything they want, yet they are lost — and on the other hand we see cheerful, happy-go-lucky people who are by no means achievers. It seems idealistic to say, ‘How can you be successful and happy at the same time?’” asked Leelaram rhetorically.

The Vedantic philosophy aims to bring that about, rendering one free from negative emotions while providing clarity of purpose and direction in life.

“You’ve got to investigate it and find out if there is any

truth in the statement that this is a whole philosophy that gives you the technique of right action so that you can be successful and at the same time find peace within yourself,” said Leelaram.

As an introduction to Vedanta, Leelaram recommends four books written by Swami Parthasarathy: “The Fall of the Human Intellect,” “The Holocaust of Attachment,” “Governing Business and Relationships,” and “The Eternities: Vedanta Treatise,” famed for being the seminal work on Vedantic philosophy.

There are also classes held by academy alumni in San Diego and Los Angeles and newly introduced e-learning online courses, along with the three-year residential course in India.

Transparency is one of the favorite words being bandied about by the supporters of the pool and fitness center now named the Covenant Club. What is more and more transparent is that the plan being put forward is backed by a small, dedicated, well-meaning group, but is financially flawed, community-divisive, environmentally inappropriate, overreaching and should be stopped.

The finances of the Association are now in such good shape mainly because our predecessors required special purpose groups such as the Garden Club, Tennis Club and Golf Club to be self-funding and sustainable. In the near past, the Golf Club needed several million dollars to renovate the clubhouse. The Association Board required, rightfully so, that the Club members raise the necessary funds without burdening the Association. The Garden Club and Golf Club have been and are self-funded, requiring no Association contribution. (The previous major exception to such policy was the Osuna Ranch purchase. Not a good precedent.)

However, the supporters of the Covenant Club require a gift of at least $4,500,000 from association members, plus a guarantee of another $10? million just to build the club. For the first five years, the Covenant Club will have projected losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars. After that, the operating costs require substantial annual fees to support the club. What happened to the pay-to-play principle initially espoused by the group promoters and in conformity with Association history? Transparently not possible.

The projected site of the Covenant Club is on land owned by the Covenant, but for generations, an important and integral part of the Tennis Club and Golf Club. The proposed project will have a major impact on both clubs’ members. Those club members were not even asked if they agreed with the proposed location, or wished to have a reasonably sized fitness center as part of their responsibility, or wished to have a pool on the very entrance of their grounds.

After paying an initiation fee recently priced at $50,000, as well as thousands in annual dues, should not those members have a priority say in the location and size of the facility?

As recent articles in national and statewide media have focused on water consumption of Rancho Santa Fe residents, is it wise policy to build such a large pool (or is it two or three pools) in the Ranch that already contains a large number of pools? Will there not be repercussions? Today’s environment is not the time to start such a project, even if we can afford it.

And lastly, who believes that building such a facility will increase our property values? Come on! It is time to call a halt to the process. It is too big, too expensive, too divisive, and too overreaching. Transparent.

When the RSF Association board voted, I don’t think all of the facts were on the table.

In my view, safety is clearly the most important consideration.

Federal, state and independent studies reveal that roundabouts are far and away the safest intersection control alternative. Consider that 44 percent of all traffic accidents occur within controlled intersections. The worst of these are head-on and T-bone collisions, resulting in injury and/or death. Roundabouts replace the center of the intersection, known as the “kill zone,” with a landscaped center island. With roundabouts, there are 75 percent fewer injury collisions, 90 percent fewer fatal collisions and 40 percent fewer pedestrian collisions at intersections where stop signs or signals were previously used for traffic control.

Installing roundabouts in place of traffic signals can also reduce the likelihood of rearend crashes and their severity by removing the incentive for drivers to speed up as they approach green lights and by reducing abrupt stops at red lights.

When collisions do occur in a roundabout, they are at a reduced speed and most often result in property damage only. Roundabouts improve traffic flow/capacity 30 percent to 50 percent, are environmentally friendly, reducing emissions and fuel consumption, and they are esthetically pleasing.

There are now thousands of roundabouts in the United States, many of which replaced traffic signals. Some states, such as New York and Virginia, have adopted “roundabout first” policies requiring that roundabouts be considered a preferred alternative when building new intersections or upgrading older ones.

The bottom line for me is that safety is the overwhelming reason to choose roundabouts. I strongly encourage the RSFA board to change their position or at least let this decision come to a community vote after the residents of the Covenant are fully informed.

Health club or community pool/gathering place?

As a long-time citizen of Rancho Santa Fe I have closely followed the proposal for what was first referred to as a health club/fitness center in RSF. The concept sounded reasonable, and as a physician, I am very aware that regular exercise contributes to overall good health.

Working out locally would be an advantage for many of us (although many public and private fitness centers are only minutes away).

I attended one of the community outreach sessions on the topic — held at the RSF Garden Club — and learned from both presenters and audience discussers that health club/fitness center is not an accurate term for what is being proposed. Instead, several speakers gave support to what sounds like a community swimming pool and social gathering place for families. (Since that meeting, the more neutral but rather pretentious “Covenant Club” has been adopted for the project.) Clarification of purpose will allow a better decision on this proposal.

There are important differences between these two concepts which merit discussion.

We previously lived in a Texas city with a community swimming pool that offered great relief from the summer heat. The park and pool, established in the 1950s, were built on a property adjacent to an elementary school — thus, the neighbors were accustomed to the noise associated with an outdoor swimming pool. When I say noise, I mean joyful shrieking. Parents and children enjoyed life at the pool, and our four children happily expressed their exuberance, as they should.

So what is a health/fitness center? I have been a member of such clubs (including LA Fitness locally — which includes an indoor pool) and have noted an environment quite different from what has been proposed for RSF. Health clubs are generally quiet, serious places for members to get intensive, often aerobic exercise that improves their fitness. Also, various classes are offered, but the overall atmosphere is generally calm, in keeping with the attendees’ goals of maintaining/improving their health.

The current golf and tennis club property seems to provide the correct density of both humans and cars for our calm rural environment, and the two sports are consistent with this spirit. A fitness center could work on this site, but may not be a “good neighbor” if it includes an outdoor pool with its guarantee of associated noise. Also, with a new building on the property, parking would likely become a greater problem since even now the lots are often full.

We should consider all issues before choosing this site for a center whose original purpose was for better health but seems to have been reconfigured into a community center/ swimming pool. I fear that the latter will detract from the peacefulness that drew most of us here.

Raitt rocks Waitt gala concert for foster children in SD The legendary Bonnie Raitt rocked the crowd at the seventh annual Promises2Kids “Dream On” concert June 8 held once again at the La Jolla hilltop home of board member Joan Waitt.

The event’s presenting sponsor was Kevin Prior, CEO of ICW Group Employees, working with gala chairs Waitt, Deborah Marengo, Abeer Hage, Lynda Kerr, Jolene Perry and May Zawaideh to raise funds for programs that serve more than 3,000 foster children in San Diego County.

The party included a VIP reception, sitdown dinner provided by Pamplemousse Grille, hosted cocktails, live and silent auctions, and a performance by the Grammy award-winning Raitt, who sang many of her classics. Visit www.promises2kids.org.

WATER two days a week — face fines and penalties.

Without the agricultural exemption, said Sara Buehner, the couple would face “scary big bills.”

The board approved the agricultural exemption on a 4-0 vote.

District spokeswoman Jessica Parks said that some 150 of the district’s approximately 7,000 customers may qualify for the agricultural exemption. Roughly 400 acres of land within the district — which covers Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch — is cultivated for commercial agriculture.

To qualify for an exemption, she said, a property owner must sell at least $1,000 worth of produce per acre, per year, and have a commercial agriculture license. She said customers must fill out an application to be considered for the agricultural exemption.

While the agricultural exemption won’t affect the district’s mandate to cut 36 percent of its water use, the action will lower the district’s per capita consumption, because water used for agriculture will no longer be counted against the district’s usage.

Therefore, the amount of water used per district resident will be about 3 percent lower, officials said.

Also at Thursday’s meeting, the board approved a $33.7 million budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. The budget includes a cash infusion of $3.174 million from the district’s rate stabilization reserve

fund, but no rate increase.

That could change later this year, however, when a “cost of service study,” which looks at the district’s financial requirements and expenses, is completed.

“There’s going to be a rate increase, we just don’t know when or how much,” said director Augie Daddi.

In rainy years, the district obtains as much as 50 percent of its drinking water from Lake Hodges. This year, that figure is closer to 10 percent, meaning the district must buy more expensive imported water from the San Diego County Water Authority to serve its customers. Rate and fee increases imposed by the county water agency will raise the Santa Fe district’s imported water costs by about 10 percent starting on Jan. 1, according to a district staff report.

At Thursday’s meeting, director Alan Smerican said many of his constituents don’t understand that the mandated cuts were triggered by the governor’s order.

He suggested an outreach effort to let the public know who is behind the drastic water cutbacks.

“Let them know it’s the governor forcing this unfair mandate on them and not the district,” he said.

Bardin said the district would seek to make that point clear in future written communications with customers.

there are available seats, the district decides who gets in through a random lottery. No preference is given to proximity.

Residents of West Encinitas, Leucadia and Cardiff by the Sea, surrounding San Dieguito Academy, have been gathering signatures over the past month on an online petition to get the district to change the open enrollment policy to ensure that students can attend their neighborhood school.

PLAN dents and call out details for students designated as the most at-risk in California, such as low-income English-learners and foster youth.

The Local Control Funding Formula funding comes in base and supplemental formats. The base grant is the per-pupil amount; the supplemental grant is additional funding for those three groups. San Dieguito’s 2014-15 target for supplemental expenditures was about $950,000 and in the 2015-16 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.

Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that the LCAP is the culmination of a year’s worth of work by Jason Viloria, associate superintendent of administrative services, including surveys and meetings with various community groups.

Manny Aguilar, president and board chairman of one such group, the La Colonia

continued from page 1

de Eden Gardens Foundation, addressed the board about the LCAP. The community Aguilar represents in Solana Beach recently underwent an assessment in partnership with the National Latino Research Center at Cal State San Marcos, which determined that education was the No. 1 priority for the residents.

Aguilar said he wanted to ensure that his community continues to have the opportunity to provide input for the district.

He said parents have concerns about their children’s transportation to school and low graduation rates. He said they want a parent center, creation and implementation of effective communication strategies, and potentially, a community liaison funded with state money — “the Spanish-speaking element, that’s what’s missing right now.”

“I think there are a lot of opportunities to figure it out,” Aguilar said. “The community really does want to be a part of the solution.”

Schmitt said that Viloria would continue to work with stakeholder groups like Aguilar’s and work on incorporating suggestions.

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFP®

Are You Financially Organized?

Pictured: Keegan Slomba, Caleb Kobiashi, Laird Tassara, Jay Sonthalia, Gavin Lemkul, Joshua Alcantara, Colin Blunt, Liam Saben, Ky Quackenbush, Daniel Gerlach, Mitchell Lake, Tobey Sova, Braden Mesirow, Axel Nyman, Coach Huerta, Manager Tiffany Quackenbush.

U11 Boys Surf team wins Kickin’ It Challenge The U11 boys Surf Academy soccer team with Coach Huerta won the Kickin’ It Challenge on June 21. Proudly wearing pink to support the charity tournament’s mission to “Unite in the Fight” against breast cancer, the Surf boys went undefeated over the weekend without allowing any goals. The final game was played against a tough Cardiff Mustangs team and went into an exciting penalty-kick shootout. Congratulations to all the teams that supported the tournament. More information at kickinitchallenge.com.

OK, this question conjures up a number of images and questions.

The initial answer is, “I don’t know. I’m not sure…what is being financially organized anyway?” If the question were asked, “Would you like to be physically fit?” We know the answer.

Let’s explore what being financially organized is all about. It’s all about your assets – how they are created and how they are protected. Everyone wants to have more money, create wealth and be happy. It’s just not easy. We have busy lives with family and work – and time just slips by each day and many times our financial dreams start fading away just like those New Year’s resolutions we make each year. Let’s reduce the question to some financial basis: Your Investments: Do your investments match the stage of your life? Younger can be more aggressive – in or nearing retirement more conservative. Are your investments structured for income or growth? Are your investments diversified with cash, stocks, bonds, real estate and alternatives? Do your investments cause you to pay excessive taxes?

Retirement: Are you taking advantage of all the plans available? You should. When do you plan on retiring? How much income will you need to enjoy it? What will be the source of your income? Years ago, I taught classes at a local university and had a student ask, “Mr. Morrow, when should I start planning my retirement?” My answer was “now.” Think about it.

Income Taxes: Check your most recent Federal & California income tax returns to see how much you paid last year. Federal is Form 1040 (see line 63) and CA is form 540 (see line 64). Total and divide by 12 to see what you paid, on average, each month last year. Have your Kleenex box nearby. Proper planning might save taxes. Taxes aren’t taxes… taxes are dollars.

Risk Management (Insurance): Are you properly insured for life insurance, disability, health, long-term care, auto, homeowners, casualty, Umbrella? Best time to know is before it’s needed.

Estate Planning: When was the last time you reviewed your wills, trusts, powers of attorney for health and legal?

Debt: Do you have debt? Check the rates as interest rates are historically low. Do you have good or bad debt? Should you pay off debt or have a mortgage?

Everyone should strive to be financially organized. It just makes good financial sense. If you would like to learn more and how to get started in getting financially organized, visit www.MoneyTalkRadio. com website. We can provide a 10-page booklet, Are You Financially Organized? and an Initial Planning Guide. It’s time you take control of your financial life.

Education Matters/Opinion

Filling Doug Perkins’ shoes

BY MARSHA SUTTON “Former Del Mar Union School District trustee Doug Perkins has resigned his position on the San Diego County Board of Education, after suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke in February.”

That opening sentence Marsha Sutton in reporter Karen Billing’s story in this newspaper last week is heartbreaking.

According to his wife, Perkins is making progress in his recovery. Nevertheless, she wrote in her online journal that she made the difficult decision to resign him from his District 5 seat on the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) board, effective June 8.

Perkins, who served for seven years on the Del Mar Union School District board, won his SDCOE seat in 2014 after a hardfought campaign against an opponent endorsed by the American Federation of Teachers and supported by AFT money.

Perkins’ improbable win was a resounding defeat for the union-backed candidate, and represented a victory for those voters who rejected questionable campaign tactics and instead chose to support a candidate whose track record was one of strong fiscal oversight, fairness and nonpartisan decision-making in the best interests of students.

The resignation means the District 5 seat is open, and applications are now being accepted. Applicants must reside within District 5 (which stretches from Del Mar, east to part of Poway, and north to Fallbrook) and must submit applications by noon July 1.

County board members will interview candidates and appoint a new trustee at their July 8 meeting. If trustees do not appoint someone 45 days from the day Perkins resigned, which would be July 23, the county Board of Supervisors will make the appointment.

Here’s where this gets interesting.

Lyn Neylon, SDCOE board member from District 2, also resigned, effective June 30. So the five-member board will be down to three members who will appoint Perkins’ replacement. The appointment to replace Neylon will come a few weeks later.

We already know who one applicant will be for Perkins’ seat: Neylon herself.

“It’s my intention to throw my hat in for District 5 because I’m moving back to North County,” Neylon announced at the June 10 SDCOE board meeting.

Her resignation letter is effective June 30, and the deadline to submit an application for Perkins’ seat is noon July 1. Tricky timing.

The issue of residency Peg Marks, SDCOE legal services analyst, spoke to board members at the June 10 meeting, advising them on the proper procedure for the appointments. She noted the following details: •Vacancies on the SDCOE board must be filled by appointment. There is no option for an election, unlike for school districts.

•Rules regarding the filling of vacancies for the county board of education are governed by the San Diego County Charter and not by California Education Code.

•The applicant interviews, board discussion and appointment are subject to the Brown Act and must be public.

The applicable government code (section 240-245) states the following rules for establishing residency: •It is the place where one remains

when not called elsewhere for labor or other special or temporary purpose, and to which he or she returns in seasons of repose.

•There can only be one residence.

•A residence cannot be lost until another is gained.

Music Watson, SDCOE’s chief communications officer, said it’s not a requirement to have lived in the district for a prescribed period of time, although board members may choose to take that factor into consideration when appointing Perkins’ replacement.

A candidate must, however, live in the district at the time the application is submitted.

As of press time, Neylon had not responded to my requests for an interview, to clarify the timeline for her move. But as of the June 10 board meeting, she still resided in District 2 and was the District 2 representative on the county board.

Also as of press time, no candidate has applied to fill Perkins’ seat — only Neylon has publicly stated intentions to do so.

Increased monthly stipend The San Diego County Office of Education provides services for the county’s 42 school districts, 119 charter schools and five community college districts. This includes 774 schools and about 504,000 students, including more than 11,000 children educated each year through SDCOE’s Juvenile Court and Community Schools.

County Schools Superintendent Randolph Ward was hired in 2006, replacing former Superintendent Rudy Castruita who served from 1994 to 2006.

To see a map of the five SDCOE districts and read trustee bios, see: http://www.sdcoe. net/Board/pages/board-members.aspx.

The application to fill the vacancy in District 5 can be found here: http://www.sdcoe.net/Board/Pages/board-vacancies.aspx.

The appointee will not serve the full four years of Perkins’ term, which expires in January 2019. Rather, he or she will serve until the next general election in 2016. At that time, voters will elect someone to fill the two years remaining in the term. Then another election will be held in 2018 to select someone to serve a full four-year term.

As an aside, board members recently voted to increase their monthly stipend 5 percent, and gave themselves a raise effective July 1, 2015, to $536.03 per month. The last raise they approved — again, 5 percent — was last July 1, 2014.

An annual 5 percent increase seems to be the trend. Board members also receive a generous benefits package.

Basic Aid districts Neylon appears to be an intelligent, dedicated, energized trustee who might very well be an excellent District 5 board member. Still, it’s reasonable to question her qualifications to fulfill the needs of District 5.

According to Neylon’s bio on the SDCOE website, she grew up and lives in the South Bay area. Her school districts in District 2 include Sweetwater, South Bay, Chula Vista, National City and San Ysidro — the communities at the southernmost edge of San Diego County.

Can a new resident of District 5 have the necessary depth of understanding of the unique needs of the North County coastal school communities in District 5, many of which are classified as Basic Aid? Because they are financed mainly through local property taxes rather than the state, Basic Aid districts — Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Rancho Santa Fe, San Dieguito, among others — are funded entirely dif-

ferently than any of the school districts in District 2.

And this matters a great deal.

The concerns are different, the needs are different, the demographics are different. Not better and not worse — just fundamentally different than the non-Basic Aid school districts.

Board members with two years’ experience may understand how SDCOE operates, but without the indepth knowledge of the local school communities they will be representing, is that board experience enough?

The second concern is that Neylon, according to reports in the San Diego Union-Tribune, won her seat in 2012 with heavy backing from the American Federation of Teachers.

By choosing Perkins in 2014, voters in District 5 rejected Perkins’ opponent, who was also supported by the AFT. The San Diego UnionTribune noted that the other three SDCOE trustees, the three who will choose Perkins’ replacement, are all backed by the same teachers union.

Perkins was alone among the five SDCOE board members, the only one not AFT-endorsed.

In picking a successor to Perkins, will board members consider that voters in District 5 chose a non-AFT candidate in 2014 to represent them? Or will the board feel an unspoken obligation to support Neylon, as a fellow AFT-backed trustee, for District 5, and simply shuffle the seating arrangement in the boardroom?

Tragic loss There are so many reasons why Perkins’ stroke is tragic; the loss of his presence on the county board of education is one of them.

He would have been a wonderful addition to the board, and the public has been denied the benefit of his intelligence, passion, wisdom and charm.

Hopefully, the remaining three county board members will have a number of highly qualified candidates applying to fill the seat, and one hopes they choose someone aligned with the positions and issues that were important to Perkins — issues apparently important to voters as well.

Perkins cannot really be replaced on the board; the most that can happen is that board members fill the vacancy. Let’s hope they do this in a way that best honors Doug and all he gave to his community as a devoted public servant.

Letters/Opinion Editor’s note: During this past year, students in Annika Mizel’s eighth grade English class wrote editorials and created their own magazines. A few of those editorials will be published in the RSF Review over the next several weeks. The second one is below.

Lucasfilms and Disney: A good purchase?

BY JASMINE KING, R. ROGER ROWE 8TH GRADE STUDENT Disney is no longer the basic entertainment company it once was. Instead of just being limited to princess movies and even live actions, it is expanding to include Lucasfilms (“Star Wars”) and Marvel Entertainment.

On Aug. 31, 2009, the world was shocked. The Walt Disney Co. had just announced that they were going to purchase Marvel Entertainment, a comic book and action hero company, for $3.97 billion. In return, Marvel shareholders would receive $30 per share in cash and 0.745 shares of Disney for every one share they had in Marvel.

Little did everyone know, this deal would allow Disney to own the rights of over 5,000 characters and turn them into movies, TV shows, and other forms of merchandise. It would soon become clear to the world what was happening. Marvel was taking over the world.

But has this change not made a difference? With almost six years of Disney owning Marvel, do they regret the decision and wish they had spent the $4 billion on something else? The answer to both these questions is no. With the first two movies under the Walt Disney Motion Pictures name, “Marvel’s The Avengers” and “Iron Man 3” making over a billion dollars each, it’s safe to say that Disney is not regretting their decision. Buying Marvel has been a great investment for Disney, who made the money back from the productions within the next four movies. It has also introduced more people to the Marvel brand, with adults and teenagers alike going to see the new Marvel films. Perhaps this is why Disney decided to try again and buy Lucasfilms.

Personally, I believe it’s all the good luck from Marvel that has driven Disney to buy Lucasfilms from George Lucas for $4 billion. Lucasfilms, like Marvel, was a risk, with people potentially criticizing the decision of remaking beloved and classic movies from their childhoods. Having only owned the studio for less than three years and releasing the first movie, and seventh installment, in mid-December of this year, fans of the “Star Wars” films are anxious and excited about what’s to come.

Buying these two studios, however, is not the first deal Disney has made. It started out by buying Capital Cities/ ABC for $19.7 billion in 1995, then Fox Family for $5.2 billion in 2001, and finally Pixar from Steve Jobs for $7.6 billion in 2006. All three of these companies have been extremely successful, bringing in a large portion of Disney’s profits every year. Despite the success of ABC, Fox Family, Pixar, and Marvel, I can’t help but feel skeptical about Disney’s new additions to the “Star Wars” movies. Not only are they continuing the current storyline, which the majority of Disney customers have not seen, but they are neglecting to fully introduce a new cast for us to love and commode to the originals. By choosing to keep Harrison Ford as Han Solo and have a huge age gap between him and Carrie Fisher, who plays Princess Leia, movie-watchers will be confused throughout the movie, taking away the sentimental value of the movies.

In the end, all we can do is wait. I hope with all my heart that Disney proves me wrong, but at this point, seeing the cast and released synopsis, I have little expectations. Hopefully, this deal will turn out as successfully as Marvel so that Disney does not rethink its decisions.

Section B

Patron Party held for upcoming Patrons of the Prado gala The Patrons of the Prado are preparing for their annual gala, coming up July 18 at the historic Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park. Titled “Masterpiece,” it’s an especially big gala this year, celebrating the centennial of the 1915 PanamaCalifornia Exposition. Dramatic building took place for that event, creating much of the park’s present-day look and feel.

To recognize the generosity of the sponsors and patrons of “Masterpiece,” gala chairs Arlene and Richard Esgate and Jack McGrory also chaired a special Patron Party recently at Balboa Park’s Museum of Man. They were joined by gala cochairs Reena Horowitz and Lynne and Dr. Steve Wheeler, presenting sponsor “Papa” Doug and Geniya Manchester, and a host of other supporters.

Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and delectable small plates served throughout the evening. Attractions included a silent auction with extraordinary treasures, a jazz performance by saxophonist Jim Weiss, an operatic aria sung

by Hope Carlson, and an exciting performance by Panamanian dancers. But most unusual was an opportunity to tour the California Tower, attached to the Museum of Man but closed since the 1930s and only recently re-opened for visits by the public. The climb to the viewing level rewarded guests with fabulous vistas of the Prado and the institutions along its length, which the Patrons of the Prado help support with funds raised at their grand annual galas.

It’s ‘Twelfth Night’ at Old Globe for lunacy, laughter and love

BY DIANA SAENGER What happens when a ship wrecks off the rocky coast of Illyria is fun, intriguing and proves some will do anything for true love.

Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night� returns to The Old Globe, directed by Rebecca Taichman, through July 26.

Viola (Rutina Wesley), disguised as a boy, Cesario, was on the ship with her brother, Sebastian (LeRoy McClain).

Once on land she finds a job, a friend and a new beau — her boss, Duke Orsino (Terence Archie).

Bliss soon fades as Viola realizes Orsino is pursuing a young beauty named Olivia (Sara Topham). But things really get topsy-turvy when Olivia sets her eyes on Cesario, not knowing he is really Viola.

There’s more mischief about as servant Maria (Amy Aquino) decides to partner with drunkard Sir Toby Belch (Tom McGowan) to get revenge on Malvolio (Robert Joy), another servant whom Maria finds presumptuous.

Wesley said she’s always wanted to play a character like Viola because “Viola is incredibly witty, and disguised as a man, she’s as good as the next guy and always has a comeback. She’s strong, yet she can be incredibly vulnerable. She’s a survivor who has a lot of heart and is a voice of reason. “One of my favorite scenes is when Cesario is making moves toward Olivia, and I’m on scene as Viola. It gets very confusing, but it was so fun to do. Almost every time we rehearsed there was something different happening.

“The costumes are beautiful, the set design is wonderful, there’s lots of different scenes and crazy stuff, and the cast is just amazing,� Wesley said. “Rebecca has been wonderful guiding us, but above all, it’s Shakespeare. I just adore his work, and it’s a pleasure to just dive in and do it.� “Twelfth Night,� runs through July 26 at the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park. Tickets from $29 at 619-234-5623; visit TheOldGlobe.org.

Four Shakespeare ‘gems’ to screen at Old Globe

This summer, The Old Globe will present a series of free, Monday night films relating to Shakespeare through the eras to celebrate the Balboa Park Centennial and the theater’s own 80th anniversary.

Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein and Beth Accomando, of the KPBS blog “Cinema Junkie,� will alternate introducing the films.

On June 29, it’s “Henry V,� which was directed by Laurence Olivier in 1944, screening at 8:15 p.m. in the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. It will be followed by ‘Henry V,’ directed by and starring Sir Laurence Olivier Orson Welles’s 1965 classic in 1944, will screen 8:15 p.m. Monday, June 29 as part of “Chimes at Midnight,� at 7 the Globe’s summer film series. p.m. July 13 and Joss Whedon’s 2012 “Much Ado About Nothing,� at 7 p.m. Aug. 3 — both on the Shiley Stage in the Old Globe complex.

The series concludes with Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins’s groundbreaking 1961 New York City riff on the Bard’s “Romeo and Juliet,� “West Side Story,� screening at 8 p.m. Aug. 24 in the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre.

Admission is free, though reservations are recommended at 619-234-5623. Seating is by general admission.

Writing nonfiction more compelling than a great thriller for author

BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Sometimes fact can be even more exciting than fiction. And when W. Craig Reed writes, that is always the case.

More than five decades ago, the world was brought to the brink of destruction when Soviet President Nikita Khrushchev sent four Foxtrot submarines toward Cuba. Each one carried a nuclear torpedo. Officers aboard all four vessels, when backed against the wall by President John F. Kennedy’s naval forces, came within a breath of firing their torpedoes andstarting World War III. W. Craig Reed was the first author to bring the entire AUTHOR chilling story to light in his New York Times best-selling APPEARANCE: book, “Red November: Inside the Secret U.S.–Soviet SubmaW. Craig Reed will rine War.” For the first time in print, he revealed why sign and discuss his Khrushchev really backed down and removed his missiles books at: from Cuba.

The ace was a new technology invented by scientists at the Naval Research Labs in Washington, D.C., and deployed worldwide by Reed’s father, U.S. Navy Lt. William Reed.

In his new book, “Cold War III: How the U.S Navy Can Defeat Putin and Halt Climate Change,” Reed once again gives readers the experience of a thriller in a nonfiction read.

You have served in the military and been enormously successful in the tech industry. When did you decide to also become an author, and with what genre did you begin and why?

My father was an author and ghost-wrote movie director John Huston’s biography. He and I collaborated to write “Tarzan, My Father,” for Johnny Weissmuller Jr., and “Crazy Ivan,” a nonfiction submarine book. That encouraged me to begin writing my own books.

You write fiction and nonfiction, thrillers and business books. Which do you find easier, fiction or nonfiction, and why?

Non-fiction, as novels require much more imagination and characterization and setting and plot design. On the other hand, nonfiction requires much more research and digging for facts.

How much research goes into the writing of your non-fiction? Your fiction? And do you do your own research, or do you have an assistant?

I do an extensive amount of research and leverage contacts and friends in high (or

sometimes low!) places with “inside” knowledge. Usually they must remain anonymous, and they also check my facts.

You are a New York Times best-selling author.

How does membership in that lofty club change or enhance a writing career?

It does help with validation, although I’ve met some writers who I think are far better than I am who are not on the list.

Learning novel and thriller techniques has been invaluable in creating a more compelling nonfiction book that reads like a thriller.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Rancho Santa Fe Autos offers luxury wheels, enjoyable car-buying experience Under new ownership, a longtime Rancho Santa Fe dealership is continuing the tradition of being the best place in the neighborhood to buy, sell and consign luxury and highline cars.

New owner Adam Holeman purchased Rancho Santa Fe Autos (formerly Rancho Santa Fe Motors) in January 2015. The store has been located in Del Rayo Plaza for more than 15 years, and it’s the only licensed dealer in Rancho Santa Fe. The store now carries more than 20 cars and is looking to expand its inventory in the near future. Holeman said they are actively looking for a local warehouse or indoor storage facility to store cars offsite.

While they specialize in luxury and exotic cars, they do carry quite a few cars under $20,000.

“We are one of the largest consignment stores in San Diego County. Rancho Santa Fe residents have been allowing us to retail their cars for years. Most of our clients have multiple cars, so most of our cars are lightly driven and well maintained,” Holeman said.

“We usually have several exotic or extremely rare cars due to our relationship with Rancho Santa Fe residents who allow us to sell their one-of-a-kind cars for them.”

RSF Autos also prides themselves on listening to the needs of their customers and making the car-buying or leasing experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.

While Holeman said the showroom is full of special cars, they do have some unique wheels, such as a 2015 Bentley with 500 miles on it and a 1974 Lotus Europa.

They are selling Ferraris, Bentleys, Mercedes, Aston Martins, Porsches and Land Rovers.

Holeman said what he enjoys most about working in Rancho Santa Fe is the people.

“Everybody I’ve met has been more than welcoming,” he said. “And they have great taste in cars!”

Rancho Santa Fe Autos is at 16077 San Dieguito Road. The showroom is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays, and by appointment only on Sundays. For information, call 858-759-7723.

Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

‘What’s better than surfing, rock ‘n’ roll, and doing it all for charity?’

• Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest and concert rolling in July 11 to Moonlight Beach in Encinitas

BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diego’s Switchfoot might be a Grammy-award winning band that’s sold millions of albums and toured thousands of cities around the world, but the band’s favorite time is when they give back to their hometown through the annual Switchfoot Bro-Am. “It’s the best day of the year for us,” said the band’s guitarist, Drew Shirley. “What’s better than surfing and rock ’n’ roll and doing it all for charity? We do it because we believe in the cause.”

Benefiting the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation, the Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest and concert is back again this year and promises to be better than ever. The July 11 lineup at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas includes Needtobreathe, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, Colony House, and of course, Switchfoot.

The event typically brings more than 10,000 people to the beach.

“I’ve watched it grow from this little organic surf contest and concert on the beach that we dreamed up 11 years ago, to a community event that’s embraced by not just the surfing and music community, but by everybody in San Diego,” said the band’s drummer, Chad Butler. “I think it’s indicative of the heart that our community has. People in San Diego know that we are so blessed to live here, and people are looking for ways to give back. This is a fun beach day that gives some really deserving causes the spotlight.”

The annual event launched in 2005, after the band decided to do something to give back to their hometown. Over the past decade, artists such as Jason Mraz, OK Go and Chris Shiflett from the Foo Fighters have headlined the show.

“We’re a rock band, we travel the world and play music, but we have a heart for our own community,” Shirley said.

“We get to visit some really cool places around the world playing music, but we always love the feeling of coming home to San Diego,” added Butler, who grew up in North County like his band mates.

“As kids growing up, we felt so lucky that surfing and music kept us out of trouble,” he said. “We looked for a way to involve our two favorite passions in one day, to do something bigger than ourselves, to do something good and rally the community together.”

Since its inception, the Bro-Am has raised more than $1 million for San Diego-based children’s charities. Last year’s event was the most successful to date, netting $140,000 for 2014 beneficiaries.

“That’s the San Diego community, and the generosity of people that have gotten behind the event,” Butler said.

“We owe this event to the community for making it what it is today,” added Shirley.

The 2015 events will benefit the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation, which the members of

Switchfoot plays at the Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest and concert on July 11: “We’re a rock band, we travel the world and play music, but we have a heart for our own community.” Photo by Chris Burkard Switchfoot recently created to continue their mission of giving back to the local community through music, surfing and youth development programs throughout the year.

Some of this year’s beneficiaries include A Step Beyond, which offers dance education, academic support and family services for underserved youth and their families, as well as Doors of Change, which provides free music lessons to homeless youth. Event proceeds will also benefit the Encinitas Youth Scholarship Program, Surf Industry Manufacturers Association and StandUp for Kids.

“This is a really fun way to get involved, and raise money and resources for these organizations, but also awareness in the community,” Butler said.

Ancient world of the Maya unfolds at San Diego Natural History Museum

BY LINDA HUTCHISON The mystery of the Maya — how they built, and then abandoned, up to 40 stone cities in the jungles of Mexico and Central America — has fascinated people for close to 200 years.

Now, thanks to “Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed,” a new exhibit at the San Diego Natural History Museum, we can see how explorers and archeologists dug into and uncovered those ancient, beautiful cities. And we can dig in ourselves, learning more about what has emerged.

At 10,000 square feet, this is “the largest Maya exhibit to tour the United States and the first on the West Coast,” explained Michael Hager, president and CEO of the museum.

According to Hager, the museum partnered with science museums in St. Paul, Boston and Denver to develop and finance the exhibit. It appeared in those cities first, and was planned to be part of Balboa Park’s 2015 centennial celebration (along with the “King Tut” and “Coast to Cactus” exhibits).

“The Maya culture has always fascinated me,” said Hager. “It was a very advanced society, with multiple calendars that intersected (including lunar and solar), advanced mathematics, great astronomers, excellent craftsmen, beautiful designers and spiritual beliefs.”

The earliest Maya settled around 1800 B.C. in what is now the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico, as well as the Central American countries of Belize, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. During their golden era, or what is called the ClasA blood-letting bowl is sic Period (250 A.D to 900 A.D.), they reached an estimated one of hundreds of Maya population of 2 million.

Despite having no large wheels, horses or oxen, the artifacts in the exhibit.

Maya managed to erect stone buildings and monuments for the ruling class, surrounded by smaller homes for those who farmed, fished, traded or made goods, such as wood tools and weavings.

They also developed an intricate writing system and were the only fully literate Native American people.

“This New World was as complex as the Middle East or Europe,” explained Hager. “The Classic Period rivals Europe, the time of King Arthur in England, the Roman Empire, when Mohammed was born and died. They were among the great cultures of the world, even if not as well known.”

Many of the Maya who lived in coastal areas became excellent seafarers and maritime traders, according to Dominique Rissolo, an archaeologist with the Center of Interdisciplin-

Rissolo has spent 20 years studying the caves and sinkholes prominent in the coastal region, which the Maya used for rituals and fresh water.

In approximately 900 A.D, many Maya began migrating away from the large cities. By the time the Spanish arrived in the 1600s, the Maya culture had survived, but most Mayans were living in small villages.

The Spaniards had no idea that great cities lay under the vast tropical forests. It wasn’t until the 1830s that explorers began uncovering them.

There is still much to learn and many questions to answer.

For example, what caused the Maya to leave? Was it a collapse, as it has been called, or a series of events?

‘It’s how we do it in Brazil,’ says owner of Natura Waxing Lounge’s specialty

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Born in Brazil, Rafaela Chagas has become a local expert on Brazilian waxing. With three shops, including a new Solana Beach site, “Brazilians� are Natura Waxing Lounge & Spa’s specialty. “The real Brazilian technique, the real Brazilian recipe, the real Brazilian way of doing Brazilians — it’s how we do it in Brazil and it’s what we offer here in Solana Beach,� said Chagas, owner of Natura Waxing Lounge & Spa. Located in the Boardwalk shopping center, Natura Waxing Lounge & Spa opened in Solana Beach mid-April. The roughly 1,200-square-foot store offers a variety of health and beauty services, including airbrush tanning, facials, massage and full face and body waxing for men and women.

But the Brazilian wax is the shop’s claim to fame.

Chagas learned the technique in her native country and has been working in waxing ever since she came to San Diego 12 years ago. “I have passion for waxing and skin care,� Chagas said. “I like making my clients happy. They leave feeling beautiful.�

In 2010, Chagas founded Natura Waxing Lounge & Spa in Pacific Beach, opening a second location two years later in La Mesa, where she lives with her family. Chagas recently brought the chain to Solana Beach for her North County clients. “We wanted to expand up north because we have clients from [this area] who used to drive all the way to PB,� said Chagas, adding that she and her family frequents the area for dining, shopping and visiting the beach. “It’s a beautiful area,� she said. “I’ve always had a crush on this area. I’m glad we’re finally here.�

With her own clients at all three locations, Chagas frequents every store throughout the week. She also personally trains her aestheticians so they know the “real Brazilian technique.�

The real technique, she said, is to use three types of wax: hard, soft and natural wax.

She and her husband make the natural sugar wax at home. The hard and soft waxes are also

natural. “That’s why the Brazilian wax is our specialty,� Chagas said. “By mixing all the different types of wax, we can provide you with the best results.�

The Solana Beach store is at 437 South Highway 101, Suite 104. It is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and closed Sundays.

‘Wine Women & Shoes’ fundraiser benefits Voices for Children Voices for Children recently held its annual “Wine, Women & Shoes” fundraiser. The event raised a record-breaking $225,000, which will provide many more foster children in San Diego County with the caring support of a Court Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA volunteer.

The event was held at the Mission Hills home of Marina Marrelli, a former board member and long-time supporter of VFC. Though held in Mission Hills, many of the guests came down from the “Ranch” to enjoy wine tasting, shopping, fashion vignettes, and a live auction. The top seller in the auction was a pair of up-close floor tickets to the Rolling Stones and an overnight at the Manchester Grand Hyatt; the package sold for $8,000. Event décor and florals were by Janice Dodge, stylist Kristi Brooks created the vignettes, and fun was had by all.

Voices for Children’s next big fundraiser, Starry Starry Night, will be held at the Polo Fields in RSF on Sept. 19. Co-chairs for Starry Starry Night are Del Mar residents Stephanie Bergsma and Dwight Hare.

$ Betty’s Pie Whole Saloon makes the rounds from sweet to savory

BY KELLEY CARLSON For the past 1 1/2 years, Betty’s Pie Whole Saloon has been offering up a slice of Americana to local residents.

The bakery is owned by Betty Hunt (née Elizabeth Harris), who describes herself as a “pie-wrangling, karaoke-singing Southern lady.” It’s the “naughty” sister of another popular Encinitas bake shop, Elizabethan Desserts. But like many siblings, the two are as different as night and day: While Elizabethan has a classic, “girly” ambience, Betty’s is cheeky and has a rustic theme, complete with swinging saloon-style doors.

Betty’s may also soon start drawing lively evening crowds, as Hunt said she hopes to put the restaurant’s outdoor stage to good use with live entertainment or karaoke.

What truly sets Betty’s apart from other eateries is its focus on pies. These consist of buttery crusts made from scratch, filled with savory and sweet ingredients that are sourced as locally as possible. And there’s no ordering by the slice (hence the name “Betty’s Pie Whole”) — customers either order individual-portion pies or 9-inch delights to share with friends and family.

Some of these pies can serve as meals, stuffed with meats (poultry products only), vegetables and cheeses. To kick-start the day, patrons can feast on Boyd’s Break-the-Fast Pie —named for Hunt’s brother — with eggs, potato, turkey bacon, smoked poultry sausage and cheese in a biscuit crust. For a midday or evening course, there’s selections such as the Mama Jo’s Meatball Pot Pie and the Get-Along-Kielbasy, and a Mac ’n’ Cheese Pie that “you can stuff your feelings with,” Hunt said.

But Betty’s signature is Grandma Lucy’s Chicken Pie. Guests can catch whiffs of the parmesan herb pastry before it’s even placed on the table. As they cut through the flaky crust, juices erupt through the surface. And each forkful is chock-full of free-range chick-

en, diced baby carrots and zucchini, and peas.

Of course, Betty’s has its sweet pies, too.

Varieties include Apple Crumbly, Apple Lattice and Strawberry Rhubarb Lattice. Chocoholics can satisfy cravings with the gooey Mississippi Mud Pie, featuring a crumbly chocolate crust replete with layers of chocolate pudding and whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate, and dotted with mini marshmallows. Customers can further enhance it with freshly churned homemade vanilla ice cream.

Betty’s also has specialty pies throughout the year, including a hearty Thanksgiving Pie with roasted turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, a buttermilk sage biscuit crust and cranberry chipotle sauce on the side. It can be ordered with five days’ notice.

In addition, Betty’s has themed pie nights: Spaghetti and Meatball Pie Monday, Tamale Tuesday and Turkey Burger Wednesday.

While Betty’s primarily caters to pie lovers, there are a few other food options, including Hunt’s Chicken Chipotle Chili, and dips such as the smoky Gold Rush Cheddar Beer Dip, perfect with Triscuits and other party “poppers.”

Among the “sips” is the refreshing Southern Peach Sweet Tea, presented in a mason jar.

Customers can also buy tubs of homemade Sweet Betty’s Butter in flavors such as maple, honey and cinnamon.

Betty’s Pie Whole Saloon, at 155 Quail Gardens Drive, is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday.

The pre-K class at the Village Church Preschool had a demo on how to properly use nails and hammers on a wooden board.

The youngsters marked where they wanted to place the nails, and decided they would make a weaving board. The children selected phone wires to be their thread, and made interesting designs with them.

The Village Church Preschool is now enrolling for summer camps. Call Pamela Miller at 858-756-2394 or email pamm@villagechurch.org.

The young carpenters use their handmade weaving boards.

MAYA

Village Church Preschool kids tackle carpentry

Chase wears safety goggles while working on the board.

Most probably the latter, said Hager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a huge population, overused natural resources, deforesting, soil depletion, drought and warfare. Something, like a slight variation of climate, tipped the balance. It happened everywhere, even Iceland. There is a lesson in this for us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that if we are at the edge of our resources, even a slight variation of climate can tip the balance.â&#x20AC;?

Hager said he hopes families on both sides of our border will come and enjoy learning about the Maya, and maybe some budding archaeologists will be inspired. All parts of the exhibit are in English and Spanish, and in keeping with school curriculum for all grade levels.

The exhibit includes 238 genuine artifacts, including vases, vessels, plates, incense burners, masks, figurines, clothing, jewelry, an inkwell and a rubber ball. The Maya loved their ball games and in some, the losers were sacrificed.

Other instructive elements of the exhibit include videos and interactive activities such as exploring a tomb, deciphering glyphs (language symbols), understanding Maya math and astronomy, building an arch, and exploring temple walls, altars and monuments. Up to 60 team members contributed to developing and setting up the exhibit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very impressed with how everything is communicated,â&#x20AC;? said Rissolo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Complex topics have been made accessible in very innovative ways.â&#x20AC;?

As both he and Hager explain, the mysteries of the ancient Maya are still being unraveled, while an estimated 6 million to 8 million modern Maya survive today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Maya did not disappear; they continue to flourish and continue their traditions into the present day,â&#x20AC;? said Rissolo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are so much alive today in Central America and Mexico and live in ways not dissimilar in architecture, ideology, world view â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a living tradition.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed,â&#x20AC;? is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily to Jan. 3, 2016, at the San Diego Museum of Natural History, 1788 El Prado, Balboa Park.

Sharp Mary Birch hosts women’s luncheon benefiting Neonatal Research Institute Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns hosted its second Women’s Luncheon on May 27 at the Del Mar Country Club to benefit the hospital’s Neonatal Research Institute. The event, organized by the Sharp Mary Birch Women’s Philanthropy Council, raised nearly $50,000 to support research for newborn infants.

More than 150 people attended the event, which included a champagne reception featuring boutique shopping from 12 different vendors. Each vendor donated 25 percent of sales to the institute.

Dr. Anup Katheria, director of the Sharp Mary Birch Neonatal Research Institute, shared a beautiful story of Leona Beauchene and her parents, Heidi and Scott. Leona’s birth was a challenging one, but she is now a thriving 18-month-old thanks in part to the innovations identified at the institute.

Christina Jordan, director of development for Sharp Mary Birch, shared an update on the institute’s successes. Since it was launched in 2013, more than 300 babies have been enrolled in research trials, seven papers have been published, and more than $1 million has been raised through grants and philanthropic partnerships.

Lighting the Way to the Most Dramatic Home Theater in San Diego San Diego Home Theater Experts, Modern Home Systems, on lighting your home theater properly. Lights! Camera! Action! It’s no wonder that a great production needs the right light to set the tone. Your home theater is no exception. Outstanding indoor lighting is one of the best ways to distinguish your home theater, and thanks in part to a recent

article at CE Pro , here are the best ways to create ambiance and accentuate your space with sensational lighting.

Temperature Did you know that lighting temperature can significantly alter the quality of your home theater? Lights should ideally be set at 6,500 Kelvin. When light temperature is too strong, it can lead to off-set colors. For example, certain temperatures can change the fidelity of the screen, setting hues offbalance. Dimmable LED lighting is the ideal choice for lighting your home theater. Click here to see some examples of how we’ve used light to create the perfect ambiance using just the right temperatures.

Lighting Automation Dramatic home theater, San Diego, La Jolla It goes without saying that watching

Jurassic Park is completely different than tuning into the 6 o’ clock news. Your lighting should reflect the mood appropriately and automation can set that dream into motion. For example, when you watch the news, your lighting can be programmed to illuminate into a bright setting. On the other hand, when you’re ready to watch a movie, the lights can dim to perfect theater level.

Automation makes lighting incredibly easy.

Zoned Lighting In many cases, it makes sense to zone lighting controls. Depending on how your room is set up, you’ll want to take into consideration which part of the room deserves the greatest amount of light versus the area of the room that ought to be dim.

Create light installations on unique circuits to customize the look even further. We’ll help

you map out a lighting plan that best suits your home theater.

Accentuate with Light We work with many San Diegans who want a custom home theater. Regardless of the style you choose, you’ll want to use light to accentuate the space. We can use lighting to draw attention to any facet of the room – a tiered ceiling, awesome speakers, movie posters or architectural details. Wall sconces, overhead LED lighting and backlighting are all great ways to draw attention to various aspects of the room without detracting from the main show.

Youth theater group presents ‘Spring Awakening’ at Lyceum Theater in SD The award-winning California Youth Conservatory Theatre (CYC) is proud to present a special engagement of “Spring Awakening,” July 3-19 at the Lyceum Theater in Horton Plaza.

Winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, “Spring Awakening” is based on the 1891 play by Frank Wedekind, and features a book and lyrics by Steven Sater and music by Duncan Sheik.

“Spring Awakening” follows the unforgettable journey of a group of students in late 19th-century Germany as they move from adolescence into adulthood. Facing both the devastation and the wonder of sexuality and self-discovery, the characters navigate through their coming-of-age despite parents and authority figures who are intent on withholding information and suppressing thought and expression.

Banned in its time, this modern masterpiece is an exhilarating fusion of morality, sexuality and rock ’n’ roll.

Producer/Director Shaun T. Evans has assembled an impressive team,which includes the area’s very best high-school and college performers.

San Diego powerhouse Leigh Scarritt is choreographing the show, which features some impressive and high-energy choreography. The cast also had some special instruction and preparation by the acclaimed stage and screen actress Karole Foreman.

In its 11 short years of programming, CYC has already sent three of its “native sons” to Broadway, and is celebrating the third CYC alumnus to appear on “American Idol.”

This show opens at 7 p.m. July 3 at the Lyceum Theatre. All patrons will be treated to a free champagne and dessert reception after the show. Tickets range from $18 to $32, with discounts for students, seniors and military personnel. Visit www.cyctheatre.com or call 619-944-7574. To order tickets directly, call the box office at 619-544-1000.

The Lyceum Theatre is at 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego. Performances are daily during the run except Mondays and Tuesdays. Matinee performances are on Saturdays and Sundays.

Local youth appearing in the play are, L-R: Cameron Chang, Sammie Lurie, Constantine Mickens, Steve Macario, Megan Spector, Annika Shamachar. Not pictured: Riley Cavanaugh.

DM track to host pre-race Fashion Trifecta July 12 AUTHOR Fans and fashionistas will have the opportunity to peruse this season’s most ornate, whimsical and over-the-top styles on July 12 at the Fashion Trifecta at the Track. The first ever pre-race fashion event will be held at Del Mar in preparation for Opening Day, which takes place July 16.

From bow ties to bold jewelry, this trunk show will be a one-stop shop for everything needed to get race-day ready and preview the summer’s latest trends.

The event will feature more than 15 pop-up vendors with models showcasing cocktail to couture offerings from boutiques such as: Del Mar Hat Co., Jill Courtemanche, La Femme Chic, Sweet Bling, Cedros Soles, Lux Ave Boutique, Maggie B & Mister B, and more.

The event will be held in the Turf Club Courtyard area near the Paddock from noon to 4 p.m. Guests will not only experience specially selected fashions, but there will also be an opportunity drawing featuring a grand prize awarded to one lucky shopper. Proceeds from the drawing and boutiques will benefit the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

The free event is open to guests and the public. No registration required. For information, call 858-755-1141 or visit www.delmarscene.com.

The Del Mar summer meet opens on July 16 and runs through Sept. 7. Racing takes place Wednesday through Sunday with post time for the first race at 2 p.m. on most days.

On Fridays, first post is shifted to 4 p.m. Follow the Del Mar racetrack on Twitter and Instagram @DelMarRacing or become a fan on Facebook at Facebook.com/DelMarRaces.

SURFING

continued from page B5

Because the event is free, most of the funds will be raised three days earlier, during the annual auction night soiree at a private Olivenhain estate. The evening will feature a live performance by Switchfoot, silent and live auctions, opportunity drawings, and food and drinks.

“It’s really a fun gathering of the community,” Butler said. “It’s just an incredible evening.”

As in recent years, this year’s surf contest and concert will be streamed online, allowing viewers around the world to tune in and catch the Bro-Am action live. For the first time in Bro-Am history, however, an online auction will allow fans to bid for unique items. The online auction will run June 28 to July 11.

“There’s a chance for people all over the country and around the world to get involved, donate and bid on some really cool packages,” Butler said.

Tickets to the auction night soiree cost $185. VIP tickets cost $260 and include a meet and greet reception with Switchfoot.

The surf contest will take place 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 11 at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. The concert will run from noon to 5 p.m.

A free shuttle will be available from San Dieguito Academy. Parking is also available at Encinitas City Hall.

wrote “Red November.” My father spearheaded the deployment of and training for a new technology used to locate Soviet submarines and briefed President Kennedy and the ExComm Group at the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy used the technology to locate the four Soviet submarines threatening the Cuban blockade, and he forced Khrushchev to back down.

How much and in what ways does your military service inform your writing?

Tremendously, as I am able to leverage my experience and contacts to discover facts others miss, and bring those facts to life in vivid color, so to speak.

“Cold War III: How the U.S. Navy Can Defeat Putin and Halt Climate Change,” made its debut this spring. Without giving away the whole book, tell us a bit about the premise of it.

Putin has led Russia through a major economic boom due to profits from oil and gas.

He is motivated to protect his people from economic harm, and when the U.S. tried to get Ukraine to join NATO so they could control half of Russia’s gas pipes that feed Europe 33 percent of its gas, Putin invaded. He is trying to lock up more oil and gas in the Arctic to supply his new customers — China and Japan — and wants to move the world off the U.S. petrodollar and over to the Russian petroruble. If he does, it will devastate the U.S. economy.

The U.S. is fighting back by getting Saudi Arabia and OPEC to create an oil glut and devalue the Russian ruble, but it can’t last long. The U.S. energy industry, which accounts for almost 100 percent of the U.S. GDP growth, is already hurting from this move. Due to climate change, resources are becoming more scarce in populated areas and more accessible in the Arctic, which is why Putin is focused on owning this region. All of this sets up potential conflicts or even wars within the next few years.

The U.S. has a secret weapon that most politicians don’t know about — an invention made in the Naval Research Labs — that can solve the world’s energy needs while actually lowering carbon emissions. If deployed, it could pull the wind out of Putin’s sails, improve the U.S. economy, and mitigate climate change. Unfortunately, government officials appear clueless and are not funding or focusing on this potential world-saving technology.

How timely is the information in this book, and how did you become privy to it?

It is extremely timely given the situation with Russia, Ukraine, climate change, the Arctic, and the U.S. economy. I was the only author invited by the U.S. Navy to visit the ICEX training camp in the Arctic in March 2011 and spent several days aboard a nuclear submarine under the polar ice cap. It was there that I learned about the potential resource wars brewing in the Arctic, and through years of subsequent research, uncovered what Putin’s real motives are and how technology invested in by the U.S. Navy can stop him and mitigate climate change.

How and why is or isn’t the American government dealing effectively with Putin and his aspirations?

They are trying by getting Saudi Arabia and OPEC to create an oil glut and devalue the Russian ruble, but this is a temporary measure. They can’t do it for long as it will also hurt the U.S. and Middle East economies. Also, Russia has plenty of reserves and can weather the storm. The only way they can muzzle Putin is to control his supplies of oil and gas, which is what they tried to do in Ukraine and why Putin felt he was forced to invade.

In what way, if any, is Putin a danger to the world?

Only one way really counts: He is trying to move the world off of the petrodollar standard and onto the petroruble standard. If he does, it will create an economic crisis in the U.S. not seen since the Great Depression.

What do you see in Putin and Russia’s future? Is he as unstoppable as many in the Western world seem to think he is?

He is trying to lock up three key areas in the Arctic to ensure he can keep his oil and gas reserves high enough to meet future demand (after signing a $400B gas deal with China). He is also trying to increase gas profits and lower dependency on oil profits, at least until he can get Saudi Arabia to stop backing the U.S. petrodollar. Obama is playing into his hands by angering the Saudis with his Middle East policies. Putin is only stoppable if the U.S. and E.U. can keep him from controlling all of the Arctic’s resources, including the sea lanes, and use that control to keep him from moving the world over to the petroruble.

What do you hope readers take away from your books?

Knowledge that they will not get from our shallow and biased media, knowledge that will help them motivate world leaders to take proper action before it’s too late.

What is the best advice you received as a writer?

To write with passion and do it for the love of writing and the desire to inform and entertain others, and for no other reason.

What one piece of advice would you give to aspiring authors?

Everyone says this, but it’s true — rejection is your friend. Embrace it, learn from it, and use it to motivate you to improve your craft. It’s all about making progress, not about attaining perfection. Also, marketing is just as important as writing. Know who you are writing for, and what they will love, and then reach them with your books.

Five powerhouse mother-daughter real estate teams share their success secrets Working with members of your family often seems to have its challenges, for a number of reasons. It can either be the start of an incredible partnership or can potentially damage some of your closest relationships.

Just when you think pulling it off would be impossible, five mom-daughter real estate teams from Willis Allen Real Estate prove otherwise. These daughters were inspired to follow their mother’s careers and took it one step further by forming strong teams together. Here, each team shares their insight on how they manage to maintain a healthy and loving bond while successfully taking on the competitive real estate world here in San Diego.

Mother: Olga Stevens Daughter: Olga Lavalle The Olga duo has more than 35 years of combined experience in the real estate industry. Stevens, who has been listed and recognized in the Top 200 Realtors by the Wall Street Journal, along with her daughter, Lavalle, both handle real estate for Coronado residents. They have been known as the “Number One Team” in listing and sales at the Coronado Shores for the past five years.

Lavalle was inspired to begin her journey in real estate by watching how dedicated and successful her mother is in this industry.

Stevens believes that one of the benefits of working with a family member is that you already have a core understanding and relationship with one another, making it natural to work and learn from each other.

Mother: Terry Holladay Daughter: Tasha Holladay This dynamic duo, better known as “Homes by the Holladays,” both love the aspect of being able to help friends and new clients navigate the purchase of their first home. They have been in this industry for more than 47 years combined and currently work within the Encinitas community.

Mom and daughter came together to create a healthy work-life balance for one another and believe that honesty, integrity, patience, reliability and a sense of humor are important quality traits a Realtor should possess.

Terry Holladay, a former American pro-

fessional tennis player, and Tasha Holladay say that one of the benefits in working with a family member is “being able to trust and rely on your partner.”

Mother: Cristina Gee Daughter: Summer Crabtree One of the influences that drove Crabtree to join the same career as her mother is seeing firsthand how she was able to spend time with family while still maintaining a thriving career. Gee loves working with both buyers and sellers, as well as helping friends and new clients find the perfect home. This powerhouse team has established credibility in the real estate community by being honest and trustworthy.

In their spare time, both enjoy spending quality time with family and experiencing the outdoors.

Mother: Nancy Anderson Daughter: Jennifer Anderson In the home of the Andersons, family dinners did not consist of typical conversations; their discussions involved negotiation strategies, communication styles, marketing techniques, market trends and most important, how to foster impactful client relationships.

“Instinctively we know each other’s strengths and who will take the lead. We have found that through the transaction process, no detail is left unaddressed, which ultimately provides the best experience for our clients.”

Mother: Sandy Collins Daughter: Wendy Collins Wendy Collins was inspired to follow her mother’s career footsteps and knew it was only a matter of time until she would pursue a career in this industry, too.

Sandy Collins said her daughter and she are able to really help homeowners go through their homes and make decorating changes to get a quick sale and the maximum sales price. “We really work together to help the seller achieve their goals, whatever that may be,” she said.
