Preparation for wildfire in RSF critical, officials warn at community meeting BY KAREN BILLING Local firefighters are warning that the next big wildfire to threaten the Rancho Santa Fe community is not a matter of if, but when. To ensure that all residents are prepared for this year’s fire season, which unexpectedly began early this year in May, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District held a community readiness meeting on July 8.
“The fuel moisture levels we’re seeing are unprecedented,” Deputy Chief Mike Gibbs said. Sixty percent fuel moisture is considered critical. The district was below 60 percent about 2 1/2 months ago, when typically those levels are seen more in September and October. Drought plays a big role in those moisture levels, and Gibbs said depending on

BY KAREN BILLING Trustee Marti Ritto has decided she will seek reelection on the Rancho Santa Fe School District Board. “I’ve so enjoyed being able to help the school district expand the music programs as well as the robotics and technical programs these past four years,” Ritto said. “There are so many exciting things happening in the world of education these days!” Ritto’s seat is one of two up for re-election in November, along with Todd Frank’s. Monday, July 14, was the first day for candidates to file. As of press time, Frank’s decision on whether to run again was unknown. Candidates can file through Aug. 8. Three seats are also up for election on both the Solana Beach School District board and San Dieguito Union High School District board. Seats up for election on the Solana Beach board include Vice President Vicki King and members Debra Schade and Jeff Busby. Schade said she plans to run for re-election. The seats of John Salazar, Barbara Groth and Amy Herman are up for election on the San Dieguito board. Herman and Groth have both stated they plan to run. As of press time, it was not known if any other candidates will be running for the boards. After the Aug. 8 candidate filing deadline there is a five-day extension in races where no incumbents file for re-election. For more information, visit www.sdvote.com.

Gibbs said this is the first time in 100 years that most of the state is considered in extreme or severe drought conditions.

Pot-bellied problem: Aye, there’s the rub Even ‘hypo-allergenic’ pigs produce dander, so if you’re allergic, best choose another pet
Keeping Rancho Santa Fe safe As was reported last week, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board recently approved contributions to the California Highway Patrol’s Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP) and Explorers, a program that provides experience for youth interested in law enforcement careers. For the last three years, the Association has contributed $4,000 to the SVP and $3,000 to the Explorers, funds included in the budget that assist in the cost of maintaining the volunteer programs that help out in the Rancho Santa Fe community. This year, the Association granted a one-time additional $1,500 to the Explorers to purchase a trailer to haul equipment for traffic control operations. Among those who attended the meeting to thank the RSF Association board were: (Above) Scott Payson, Preston Keul, Carlos Lucas, G.

COURTESY PHOTO throughout Southern California, Utah and Arizona. But on July 7, a new arrival had staff members scratching their heads. A Vietnamese pot-bellied pig named Sherlock Hams stumped staffers when the “dog and cat only� adoption facility learned of his pitiful piggy “tail.� Now the center is sharing what it learned to help educate the community about the perils of making uneducated purchasing decisions and how these purchases lead to the overcrowded companion pet shelter situation every day. The “Teacup Pig� craze (also sold as “micro pigs,� “pocket pigs� and “Juliana pigs�) has seen an increase in recent years as the public learns of these creatures’ sweet temperaments, surprising cleanliness and renowned intelligence. The hype has led to an upswing in breeding pigs for pets at costs of anywhere from $750 to $3,500 per pig, with buyers able to choose everything from the pig’s coloring to the size of their ears. Unfortunately, breeders very rarely tell their buyers that while these pigs are “teacup� in comparison with their farm-bred brothers, who reach 600 and 700 pounds, “mini� pigs average 120 to 150 pounds, sometimes even 250 pounds. Also, despite being referred to as hypoallergenic, pigs do produce dander, and people may have the same sort of allergic reactions they would experience with other household pets.

‘Croquet on the Lawn’ rolls back to The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe
The main lawn of The Inn was refurbished, offering a clean, smooth surface perfect for croquet. A professional will be on hand to give lessons, followed by cocktails and light appetizers. Photos by Karen Billing.
Next date for croquet at The Inn at RSF is 5 p.m. July 24.
BY KAREN BILLING Give croquet a whack this summer at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe Croquet returned to the lawn at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe on Thursday, July 10. Players — dressed in fashionable, traditional whites and khakis — enjoyed learning the game from a pro while sipping on champagne cocktails or refreshing citrus water and noshing on small bites from The Inn’s restaurant Morada. The main lawn of The Inn was refurbished during The Inn’s $12 million renovation which was completed in July 2013, taking out the bumps and divots, and offering a smooth, clean surface perfect for croquet play. Gordon MacMitchell, general manager of The Inn, said that visitors to the village in the 1950s might remember the iconic scene of guests playing the game on the front lawn. “We want to bring back the innocent fun of the era and reintroduce a sport that anyone, from couples to friends to three family generations can play together,” MacMitchell
said. Professional croquet player John Delille taught the guests how to use their mallets to whack their wooden balls through the wickets. “Croquet is a sport that anyone — as long as they can swing a mallet — can play. This is what makes it fun. One does not need athletic ability, only strategic thinking, in order to do well in play. Croquet is more like chess than anything else,” said Delille. “I look forward to being a part of a long-standing history of croquet on The Inn’s magnificent lawn.” The July 10 games were just the beginning of a summer of croquet on the lawn. The event will return on July 24, Aug. 7 and Aug. 21, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The cost is $25 per person and that includes the games, instruction, cocktails and light appetizers.

Top author Daniel Silva to kick off 2014 Jewish Book Fair BY KRISTINA HOUCK In celebration of its 20th year, the San Diego Jewish Book Fair is kicking off its summer book fair July 24 with a special event featuring award-winning author Daniel Silva at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. “I hope it is an entertaining evening,” Silva said. “A writer spends months and months and months locked in a room working on something alone, and then you bring it into the world. You really have no idea what to expect. I enjoy this time of year when I get to spend a little time with my readers.” During “A Conversation With Daniel Silva,” Silva will chat about his latest novel “The Heist.” His 17th novel follows art restorer and sometime Israeli secret agent Gabriel Allon, a character featured in many of Silva’s novels. “Because of the nature of the character, the alliances that he has, the friendships that he has, he is called upon by lots of different people to do very interesting and very different kinds of jobs,” Silva said. “I think that’s how I keep it fresh.” In the latest tale of intrigue and espionage, Allon searches for a stolen Caravaggio painting. The story takes him from Italy and France, to London, Austria and Geneva. “I always wanted to write about this missing Caravaggio,” said Silva, who noted that the famous “Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence” was stolen in 1969 from Sicily. “It’s truly one of the most iconic stolen artworks in the world.” Although Silva’s thrillers are fiction, many of his story ideas are derived from facts — something for which he credits his journalism background. Born in Michigan and raised in California, Silva said he realized early he wanted to become a writer. While pursuing a master’s degree, Silva received a temporary job offer from United Press International to help cover the 1984 Democratic National Convention in San Francis-
Daniel Silva
co. Later that year, he joined UPI full time, working in San Francisco, then on the foreign desk in Washington, and finally as a Middle East correspondent in Cairo and the Persian Gulf. He later
worked for CNN. Silva released his first novel, “The Unlikely Spy,” in 1996. In 1997, he left CNN to pursue writing full time. “Every single day I write sentences or paragraphs or small scenes or exchanges of dialogue that I’m either very proud of, pleased with or just make me laugh,” Silva said. “I’m not sure there are many other jobs quite like that.” “A Conversation with Daniel Silva” begins at 7 p.m. July 24 at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla. Tickets cost $32. Jewish Community Center member tickets cost $27. Tickets include a signed copy of “The Heist.” For information and to buy tickets, call 858-3621348 or visit www.sdjbf.org.

De Anza DAR holds American history essay contest The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution announces its annual American History Essay Contest to celebrate America’s history. All fifththrough eighth-grade students in public, private, and parochial schools or those who are home-schooled are eligible to participate. Students may also independently submit essays directly to the judging committee. Marking the 125th anniversary of Ellis Island as an immigration station, the topic for the 2014-2015 academic year is “A Child’s Journey Through Ellis Island.” On a typical day, immigrants arriving on the island could expect to spend up to seven hours in processing activities intended to determine whether or not they were legally and medically fit to enter the United States. Essayists are asked to imagine they are a child traveling through Ellis Island in 1892 and how they would describe their experience to a cousin who had never heard of Ellis Island. Essays are judged for historical accuracy, adherence to the topic, organization of materials, interest, originality, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and neatness. The top winner from each grade will receive a medal, a certificate and a cash award from the De Anza Chapter as well as the opportunity to advance in the state and national competition. A colonial tea and awards ceremony will be held to recognize the winning students, parents, teachers and principals. Schools and individuals may contact the De Anza Chapter essay committee chairman Jennifer Anklesaria at 619-985-5440 for contest rules and a guide sheet. Essay submission deadline is Nov. 1. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, founded in 1890, sponsors the yearly essay contest with state and local chapters to carry out the injunction of President George Washington in his farewell address to the American people: “to promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge, thus developing an enlightened public opinion.” Visit www.deanza.org.

Soap opera actress Susan Flannery supports Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s ‘Day at the Races’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK American soap opera actress Susan Flannery helped raise awareness about lung cancer when her character Stephanie Forrester battled the disease on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Although she has since retired from the TV show, Flannery is still bringing attention to the disease by joining other lung cancer patient advocates, survivors and supporters at the Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s fifth annual “Day at the Races” event July 27 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “If my participation can help in any way, I’m happy to help,” Flannery said. An original cast member, Flannery portrayed Forrester on “The Bold and the Beautiful” from 1987 to 2012. The series was heralded for its authentic portrayal of lung cancer in 2010, when Flannery’s character was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and underwent treatments. On Feb. 7, 2011, during the 6,000th episode of the CBS series, the show featured several real-life lung cancer survivors, including the late actress Kathryn Joosten and Dr. Michael Weitz, a lung cancer patient advocate and lung cancer survivor since 2006. “The show got an enormous response,” said Flannery, who made her final appearance on the show in November 2012, when her character lost her battle with lung cancer. “We got a lot of thank-yous from fans and from people who viewed the show for the first time. “Daytime (TV) has always led the charge for dealing with medical issues, psychiatric issues or social issues — way before prime time or movies. It’s something everyone is very proud of in the industry.” Flannery also filmed a public service announcement, which aired after the episode, to direct viewers to www. lcfamerica.org for information. “It was a wonderful partnership,” said Kim Norris, cofounder and president of the Lung Cancer Foundation of America. “What was interesting was the actors, as the characters, were acting. The patients and survivors, they weren’t acting. They were just being themselves. It was very well done.”
said. “I think having Susan join us is just going to add that much more to the festivities.” “Day at the Races” will take place from noon to 6:30 p.m. July 27 in the Il Palio Restaurant at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Races begin at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $150 and include entry into the private Turf Club, a tour of the paddock area and a private betting window. The event will also feature a special “Breath of Life” race to raise awareness about lung cancer and support lung cancer research, as well as a silent auction and raffle drawing. To inquire about tickets or sponsorships, contact Cindy Iker at ciker@lcfamerica.org. For more about the Lung Cancer Foundation of America or to buy tickets for the event, visit www.lcfamerica.org.

Lung cancer is the nation’s top cancer killer, yet it ranks near the bottom in research funding. To raise awareness of lung cancer and funds for research, Norris co-founded the nonprofit in 2007 with David Sturges, an attorney in Minnesota, and Lori Monroe, a registered nurse in Kentucky — both lung cancer survivors. After a 12-year battle with the disease, Monroe died in 2013. After losing her husband, Roy, to lung cancer in 1999, Norris devoted her life to being a lung cancer patient advocate. She remains a volunteer with the organization, which has raised about $1.3 million for lung cancer research since it first launched. “Day at the Races” is one of the foundation’s annual fundraisers. “This event is a fun day for a very great cause,” Norris

Local residents gather for Summit4StemCell project fundraiser to help battle Parkinson’s disease Fundraising deadline is Nov. 4 to continue research for groundbreaking treatment BY STACEY PHILLIPS A small group of San Diego residents diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease have the opportunity to take part in a cutting-edge treatment using cell replacement therapy that could be the first of its kind worldwide and revolutionize the way other life-threatening diseases are treated. Doctors, scientists, Parkinson’s patients and their friends and families gathered July 9 at a private local residence for a fundraiser to learn more about the Summit4StemCell project and help raise the $2.5 million needed by Nov. 4 to continue the research. (See more event photos on page 9.) Nearly $1 million was raised at the event, which was hosted by Jeffrey
Strauss, the executive chef and owner of Pamplemousse Grille in Solana Beach, and Ray and Jenifer Raub. Ray said his wife, Jenifer, was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and the Summit4StemCell project is giving them hope. “We believe in the project, we believe in the science. We think it works,� said Ray Raub. “We truly have hope and think this is going to work.� The Summit4StemCell research is based on taking adult skin cells and transforming them into useful cells that could replace lost or diseased ones. This concept was discovered by Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka in 2007 and received the Nobel Prize in

Pat and Sharon McDonnell, Jerry Henberger (Executive Director of the Parkinson’s Association) Medicine in 2012. The San Diego research team includes Dr. Jeanne Loring, director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla; Dr. Andres Bratt-Leal, Ph.D., the senior scientist for the project in association with the Parkinson’s Association; and Dr. Melissa Houser, director of the Movement Disorder Center at La Jolla’s Scripps Clinic. “Every single patient I’ve seen over nine years got worse,� said Sherrie Gould, a nurse practitioner at the Movement Disorder Center who works with Houser. “We have an opportunity to change that. What we are doing is going to change history.� Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system. It is mainly due to the loss of a single cell type: dopamine-producing neurons. Dopamine is the chemical that helps regulate movement and concentration. Treatments for Parkinson’s include medication and brain surgery, both of which have limitations. Over the past couple of years, scientists have devel-
oped methods to use a patient’s own skin cells to produce “pluripotent� stem cells, which are stem cells that can form any cell type in the body. These are matured into dopamine neurons, the same cells lost in Parkinson’s disease. The next step is to inject them back into Parkinson’s patients to treat their symptoms, which requires FDA approval and further clinical studies. “We could be the first ones in the entire world to use these new types of stem cells, so we can actually treat patients with their own cells, their own induced pluripotent stem cells,� said Bratt-Leal, the senior scientist working on the project with a team of four others in Loring’s lab. Since the stem cells come from the patient’s own skin cells, there is less chance of rejection by the patient’s immune system. Rancho Santa Fe resident Chris Whitmer, diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2007, is one of eight Parkinson’s patients of Houser’s who have volunteered for the clinical pilot trial at Scripps Clinic. All the
Tom and Beth Joyce, Sherrie Gould patients are from California, and seven are from San Diego. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be one of the eight chosen for the clinical trials,� said Whitmer. “It’s scary and exciting at the same time. This is the future for treatment of Parkinson’s and many other diseases.� He said that over the past seven years, his symptoms — shaking of his right hand, arm, leg and foot, stiff muscles, impaired balance, as well as problems sleeping — have become worse. He said that before he learned about the Summit4StemCell project, his outlook was pretty bleak. “It will give me and my family my life back free of this crippling disease.� Scientists have already been able to successfully create the dopamine-producing neurons from eight of Houser’s Parkinson’s patients, and tested the neurons in the lab and in animals. Bratt-Leal said they have cured Parkinson’s disease in rats in their first preliminary study. “The excit-

ing part is that we’ve done that with our own patients’ cells and now we can move forward and finish the studies that we need to do for the FDA,� he said. The Summit4StemCell team is looking to raise $2.5 million to apply for a matching grant from the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine in La Jolla. Bratt-Leal said the $5 million would be used to finish the studies to support an application for FDA approval. The institute would also provide funds for overhead costs. All donations are tax-deductible, and 100 percent of the money will go toward research for this project. “The sooner we can through the FDA and get our eight patients going, the sooner that the procedure is going to be available to everybody,� said Raub. The cell replacement therapy will also pave the way to help other untreatable disorders such as diabetes, macular degeneration, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and ALS. Bratt-Leal said that the Summit4StemCell is a unique project because people have donated their time, skills and money to support it. “I think it has really become a community project that San Diego can be proud of and excited about,� he said. “This is a San Diego research project that really has a chance to change how we do medicine.� Find more information about the Summit4StemCell project, upcoming fundraisers and how to donate at http://www.summit4stemcell.org/.

Noted dressage trainer joins team at Valenti Equestrian Club Irene Valenti, founder of the Valenti Equestrian Club, announced recently that Lena Nordlof-Davis has been appointed as the club’s Dressage Trainer effective July 16, 2014. The VEC boarding-training facility is renowned as a top equestrian facility in Rancho Santa Fe. A native of Sweden, NordlofDavis has served as the dressage trainer at the Fairbanks Riding Club in Rancho Santa Fe for the past 13 years and received the 2013 Trainer of the Year award from the San Diego CDS Chapter. She will be relocating her dressage training business to the VEC, accompanied by two assistants. Nordlof-Davis, who successfully competed at the Fédération Equeste International (International Federation for Equestrian Sports) Grand Prix level, acquired a passion for horses at a very young age. She lived near a facility in her Swedish hometown where top European dressage riders would train. “I remember fondly my experience as a child when the horses would arrive during the summer months; they were magnificent animals,” Nordlof-Davis remarked. “For me, I’m not just riding horses — I am on the back of nature, seeking balance and living my dream. I experience a closeness to the environment when I work with horses and exercise patience with my students as well as their equine partners … both deliver superior results given the appropriate amount of time.” Nordlof-Davis manages 20 horses with the capacity to increase her client base. Many of her students compete and have earned their Silver and Bronze medals as
Guillermo Obligado and the Valenti equestrian staff.” The VEC is situated on more than 16 acres with direct access to the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant riding trail system. It offers private boarding, professional hunter/jumper training, dressage, grooming, ample access for large trailers and is close to the Del Mar
Racetrack. A limited number of boarding stalls and tack rooms are available. Visit www.valentiequestrianclub.com http:// www.valentiequestrianclub.com or call 858759-9239 for information on boarding, or contact Nordlof-Davis directly regarding dressage training at 760-822-7483 (school horses are available for lessons).

well as several State CDS Championship wins, numerous High Point awards, and Circuit Championship awards. On her appointment to the VEC, she said, “I’ve always admired the Valenti Equestrian Club facility. It has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere and the grounds are stunningly gorgeous with a beautiful dressage arena. I’m honored to fill the post as the new Dressage Trainer and look forward to working with Hunter/Jumper Trainer
Final preparations are being made for the 2014 Summer Theater Camps for kids in grades 3 through 6 and students in grades 7 through 12 at the Village Church Community Theater, at The Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. A few places are still available for both camps, held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. the week of July 21-25. This year’s focus will be on improv and comedy. Applications are available at The Village Church office or at villagechurchcommunitytheater.org. Tuition is $105 per student with a discount for more than one sibling. Campers in the elementary school age camp will create scenes from “The Berenstain Bears Meet God” from what they are learning in the workshops and scene rehearsals. Students in the middle schoolhigh school camp will create scenes that will include music, dance and comedy. Both camps will conclude the week with a final showcase performance at 7 p.m. Friday, July 25, to which the community is invited.
The theater camp staff directors are: Theresa Layne who is on the MiraCosta College Theater faculty and the MiraCosta Actors Academy. She is also a professional actor (Old Globe, Colony Theater, North Coast Theater, New Village Arts, Moonlight Stage Arizona Rep.) and TV (Discovery Channel), and is a film and theater director. Ariana Arant is a recent UCLA graduate who has attended the summer theater camp since eighth grade and more recently, as a stage director and choreographer. She has appeared in several Village Church Community Theater productions, most recently as Mary in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” and was the assistant director to Margie Wood this past season. She has performed in MiraCosta College productions and worked with groups such as Moonlight Stage Productions and the Broadway Theaters. Tamara Rodriguez, professional actor, singer and dancer, has been the musical director and vocal coach for recent Village Church Community Theater productions. She will teach musical theater and acting See CAMPS, page 18

TOP PRODUCING AGENT “It must have been my lucky day when I listed my house with Janet Lawless Christ” “Janet didn’t just put my house on lock box and rely on brokers seeing it on the multiple listing service. She SOLD my house by bringing buyers and brokers to the house in carefully arranged circumstances. The result was multiple offers and a good selling price within three weeks of the “for sale” sign going up. Janet guided me through every step of the process. Her knowledge of the market is only exceeded by her truly caring attitude. When we started searching for a new home, Janet was equally hard working, astute, and caring. She told me that three things were important to her. She wanted a house that would suit my family, one with a good resale value, and one I was happy with. All three goals were achieved, although it took a lot of work on her part. She held my hand every step of the way. She made me feel valued and important. The result was two smooth transactions, and I learned a lot about real estate. Thank you so very much, Janet.”

Realtors gather to discuss ways to make the RSF Covenant even better BY KAREN BILLING A realtor’s roundtable was held on Tuesday, July 8, with local real estate experts who gathered at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club to pitch suggestions on how to make their “fabulous” community even better and get more buyers to choose to move to the Covenant. The roundtable featured realtors Catherine, Jason and Laura Barry and Ryan McGovern from Barry Estates, Orva Harwood with Coldwell Banker and K. Ann Brizolis with Pacific Sotheby’s. Bill Gaylord, a local mortgage broker and past chairman of the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation moderated the discussion. The roundtable was organized by Alex Kaiser, vice president of Encore Leasing Group. Gaylord said the group of “elite” realtors are great ambassadors for Rancho Santa Fe and have had their boots on the ground for many years. As much as anyone, he said they could reflect on how the Covenant can attract more buyers. “It’s such a unique area that’s spectacular,” said Jason Barry. “The Covenant has an opportunity to address these issues and adapt to the future…the rural nature of the community is part of the allure and charm of Rancho Santa Fe, but we need to match the infrastructure with today’s technology.” A recent independent analysis by First American Title compared home values in the Covenant to home values in The Bridges between 2004 and 2013, revealing a 16.7 percent decrease in home values in the Covenant over the same 10-year period in which The Bridges increased its home values by 12.9 percent. Gaylord questioned why the realtors think people opt to buy outside the Covenant. “There’s alternatives to the Covenant, it’s not the only game in town anymore. Thirty years ago it was either the Covenant or Fairbanks Ranch, but the outlying areas have allowed people to have choices,” Brizolis said. Jason said other communities boast better technology — no slow Internet, no cell phone issues. As McGovern noted, people these days want to have all the conveniences of their office in their home as well.
Participants in a recent realtor’s roundtable included Jason Barry, K. Ann Brizolis, moderator Bill Gaylord, Catherine Barry, Laura Barry, Orva Harwood and Ryan McGovern. Photo by Karen Billing “Improvements in technology would be a value add, as would a pool and health facility. There’s no question it would benefit the community,” Jason said. The realtors believe that the pool and fitness center, which is currently being reviewed by an RSF Association committee, could become a “social hub” for the community. McGovern said he often speaks with buyers who feel like it’s intimidating to buy into the Covenant because they feel isolated, having a social hub may build a stronger sense of community — as was experienced at the recent July 4 parade. Laura said offering a “five star resort” experience at the pool and health club could allow the Ranch to be more competitive. Catherine said it’s often like there is one foot in the past—she said they need natural gas, cable, wi-fi and sewer systems to come in line. Both Catherine and Brizolis said that the pool is not a “magic bullet,” but it is a step in the right direction.
“It’s not that easy,” Brizolis said about the pool and fitness center. “ It’s the infrastructure (that needs to be improved).” Another big issue the realtors said may be affecting buyers is the Covenant Design Review Committee (CDRC) process, which they said can be “arbitrary.” “It’s more difficult to get things through,” Catherine said. “I think buyers are concerned about how restrictive it is,” Laura said. Laura said they hear claims that a home built 20 years ago couldn’t be built today because it was “A different Art Jury” and that is a problem as the process should be more consistent. “We’ve lost a lot of very expensive homes that would’ve been built because of the restrictions,” Brizolis said. “The system is very frustrating,” Jason said, noting it should be more like a concierge experience at the RSF Association office, focused on helping residents to find a way to get what they want.

Joe Harper talks racing season, Breeders’ Cup and more at local Rotary meeting BY KRISTINA HOUCK Just a week before Opening Day, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club President and CEO Joe Harper talked about racing season, the Breeders’ Cup World Championships and more at the July 10 Del Mar Rotary meeting. The racing season kicks off on Thursday, July 17. From fancy hats to celebrity sightings, Opening Day is one of the area’s biggest social events, expected to draw more than 45,000 people, according to event organizers. “Opening Day is the easiest day to market,” Harper said. “They just show up.” The 36-day summer meet runs through Sept. 3. This year, the track will debut its new turf, featuring a wider racing surface that accommodates more horses. The track will replace its synthetic Polytrack with a dirt surface over the next year, Harper said. Forty-three stakes races are scheduled. The main event will once again be the $1 million Grade I TVG Pacific Classic, set for Aug. 24. But Del Mar racing doesn’t end when school begins. For the first time, the track will also host a fall meet. “It’s going to be completely different,” Harper said. The 15-day fall meet begins Nov. 7 and runs through Nov. 30. The theme will be Hollywood, with horses and races named after celebrities, Harper said. “We’ve got a great brand in the summer,” Harper said. “We’ve got pret-

Sherlock Hams was a Del Mar Fair “Swifty Swine Race” participant. The San Diego resident woman who purchased him had hoped to give her daughter a teacup pig as a present, but couldn’t afford the prices of local breeders. When she inquired about the cute black potbelly chasing Oreos around the pen, she was told she could take him home for $200 if she returned on Sunday when the fair was closing. She did and, only hours later, Sherlock Hams was snuggling into his new bed and wagging his piggy tail when spoken to. But by morning, the woman who had purchased Sherlock was realizing her mistake. Completely congested and itching, she discovered that she was allergic

We can’t go with the summer dresses.” With the Rotary meeting taking place just a couple weeks after the announcement of the Breeders’ Cup coming to Del Mar in 2017, many members wanted to hear about the big event. “The Breeders’ Cup is the biggest day of racing,” said Harper during the meeting at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. “It’s going to be great here.” It will be the first time the Breeders’ Cup will be held in Del Mar in the event’s 30-year history. The Breeders’ Cup will also be held for the first time at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., next year. In 2016, the Breeders’ Cup will return to this year’s location, Santa Anita Park in the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia, according to Breeders’ Cup officials. “They (Breeders’ Cup officials) were blown away by the hotels, the restaurants, the racetrack itself,” Harper said. The two-day event is set for Nov. 3-4. The Breeders’ Cup is expected to draw a crowd of 75,000 to 100,000 people and an estimated $70 million in event revenue. The Del Mar track opened 77 years ago on July 3, 1937. Over the years, the track has not only established a reputation for outstanding racing, but for all-around entertainment, Harper said. “We’ve marketed Del Mar very successfully over the last 20 years,” he said. “You’ve got to have an enjoyable experience, even if you don’t care about racing or don’t know how to make a bet. “No one does it better than San Diego.” For more about the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, visit www.dmtc.com.

to the new resident. She had never owned a cat or dog because of her allergies, but had believed the hypoallergenic myth of this newest fad in pets. “We see this every day,” said Helen Woodward Animal Care Supervisor Amy Barnes. “An enormous percentage of our orphan pets were in someone’s home at one time or another. People think it sounds fun to have a pet, and they enjoy looking at the cute pictures, but they don’t do the proper research to really figure out if a pet is right for them.” “This is why Humane Education is so important to us,” said Education Manager Heather Disher. “Helen Woodward founded the Center by starting with adoption and education. She knew that we really needed to change the perception of our responsibility
to every living creature. We can’t be careless with the lives of the orphan pets we take into our homes. We put their lives in jeopardy if we decide we can’t care for them anymore.” As for Sherlock Hams, he stole the heart of (nonallergic) Center AniMeals Supervisor Erin Odermatt who has agreed to take him as her own. It seems this little piggy will finally go “all the way home” for good. Helen Woodward Animal Center is a “dog and cat only” adoption facility.

BY ED ZIERALSKI, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW This California Chrome stuff with Del Mar reached a ridiculously feverish pitch Sunday, five days out from Del Mar’s summer season opener on Thursday. Because of that, I spoke Sunday with Perry Martin, who co-owns California Chrome with Steve Coburn, the colt’s trainer, Art Sherman, and Craig Dado, executive vice president of marketing with the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. I have utmost respect for all three, but after speaking to them, I realized there are a lot of misunderstandings here, communication breakdowns that are hurting California Chrome’s legacy and people connected to him. Perry is blaming Del Mar for trying to manipulate him and Coburn to parade their colt at Del Mar during Pacific Classic day by leaking information about the failed deal to the media, but he’s putting blame in the wrong place. California Chrome returns to Los Alamitos Thursday from a layoff after a fourth-place finish in the Belmont Stakes on June 7 cost him the Triple Crown. He wasn’t going to run in the Pacific Classic, but Del Mar hoped to get his owners to bring him to Del Mar to share him with the Pacific Classic fans. Perry’s demand of $50,000 ended that deal. Perry is angry with Del Mar. He said in a press release that California Chrome not only won’t parade at Del Mar, he’ll never, ever “set foot at Del Mar.” “I don’t trust the management there, and if I can’t trust them, our horse won’t run there,” Martin said. Del Mar never issued any announcement or tipped media (not me, anyway) about the possibility of Chrome appearing at Del Mar. Trainer Art Sherman shared the news with Steve Andersen of the Daily Racing Form and me that he was considering it because it would be good for the game. Andersen and I wrote stories saying it could happen. When Perry nixed it, Dado said Del Mar sent a letter to Perry and Coburn wishing them and the colt well and said they hoped to see the colt next year as a 4-yearold at Del Mar. When I arrived at Del Mar earlier this week, I was told California Chrome wasn’t coming to Del Mar. No one gave me any specifics, and I can’t stress that enough, oth-
er than to say a deal couldn’t be worked out. I called Martin to see if he would fill in those details. He did that and more. I respect his honesty. What I don’t respect is this: On Sunday, Martin issued an off-base press release blaming the media (I assume Andersen and me) and Del Mar for trying to manipulate him and Coburn, the self-proclaimed Dumb Ass Partners. According to his release, he and Coburn would get $10,000 each from the $50,000 appearance fee. Team Sherman would get $20,000 to split with the barn and $10,000 would cover insurance and expenses. When I called Martin on Sunday, I tried to show him that Art Sherman and him combined to put out the news of Chrome’s appearance at Del Mar, how blaming Del Mar was wrong. I honestly see Martin’s side. California Chrome is a race horse, not a parade horse. I’ll go as far as to say I believe it’s humiliating for a colt that nearly won the Triple Crown to be subjected to a parade at the Pacific Classic, where his rival, Jim Rome’s Shared Belief, likely will run and win. But I see Del Mar’s side, too. The track is in the entertainment business. Showing off California Chrome on Pacific Classic Day would have pumped up attendance. Not as much had Chrome been healthy enough to run, but thousands more would have shown up to see this incredible runner, this charismatic, superstar colt. Now, Martin said Los Alamitos and the media are starting to do the same thing to him that Del Mar did, trying to force him to run the colt at his home track in a Breeders’ Cup tune-up race at Los Alamitos. As far as I know, Los Alamitos owner Dr. Ed Allred hasn’t said a word about it. Art Sherman, as he should, had the final word Sunday, saying that no decision has been made on where California Chrome will race next. “Let’s see how he comes back from the layoff and injury,” Sherman said. “They haven’t even written up the race here (at Los Alamitos). I’m just concerned about getting my horse back on the race track so he can compete.” Chrome needs to start running again under the watchful eyes of Art and Alan Sherman. The rest will take care of itself. Ed Zieralski is a sports reporter for UT San Diego.

BY MARSHA SUTTON I t would be easy to assume, after Marsha Sutton the last few columns, that the staff at the San Dieguito Union High School District deserves condemnation. Recent stories highlighting what may be unlawful student fees have been critical. The schools’ nonprofit foundations have not always followed the rules, the district dropped the ball by improperly charging for graduation attire, and district policy to charge students for parking privileges is being challenged. What were once requests for money have over the years escalated into a sense of entitlement. Topping everything was the property tax bill overcharge debacle last fall. Flaws have been exposed, but this is no Sweetwater. Maybe they let a few things slide, or didn’t follow through when they should have, or communicated the wrong message. But I’ve worked with many educators in 18 years covering local districts, and SDUHSD has some of the finest. The district is topnotch, peopled generally by honorable administrators with integrity who are gracious in accepting responsibility and respect principles of transparency. SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt and his team always respond to my questions openly, are generous with their time, and are quick to admit mistakes. That said, Sally Smith, the education advocate who filed a Uniform Complaint against San Dieguito last May, also deserves applause for bringing the subject of illegal student fees front and center. Pitting student rights activist Smith against a district staffed by decent administrators has no winner. No question that Smith is a champion who fights heroically for the rights of students, particularly low-income families. But that San Dieguito may have violated some equal access principles in no way implies a systemic, deliberate intent to circumvent the law. The issues raised by Smith have hopefully triggered some serious review of
policies and procedures inside the district. Certainly this public discussion has prompted questions from outside. One byproduct of these stories has been inquiries from readers about other practices, such as paying for yearbooks, dances, uniforms for band and choir, art and photography supplies, field trips, club and academic team competitions, and other fee-based activities. Guidelines generally state that no fees can be charged if it’s an educational activity for which attendance is taken or a grade is given. Karl Mueller, principal at Canyon Crest Academy, said the distinction is whether it’s enrichment or a mandatory component of the school. If it’s part of the educational program, it must be inclusive and funded either by voluntary donations or by the school, he said. “Access and equity are critical to me,” he said. “If it’s part of an enrichment experience and it’s optional, that is where I have always understood that line to be.” But the line sometimes blurs. If athletic teams and school clubs represent their schools when they travel to competitions, should funding be different than for strictly on-campus extracurricular activities? There is clarity in other areas. It is prohibited to charge for uniforms or clothing for band or choir, or supplies for art and photography, if these are classes where grades are given. On the other hand, yearbooks, dances and sporting events are voluntary and are not required to be funded. Particularly costly and not affordable for many students is Senior Week, when events for graduating seniors during the last week of school can include trips to Disneyland, breakfasts, evenings out together, boat rides and other activities planned by the school’s students. Senior Week can cost $100 or more, but the district does not provide funding for this. Eric Dill, SDUHSD associate superintendent for business services, said Senior Week is optional, with activities sponsored and planned by students and sometimes parents. Senior Week is not driven by the school but by the class, unlike the graduation
ceremony, he said. Sally Smith acknowledged that yearbooks and dances are optional and not required to be funded, but disagreed about Senior Week, calling it “an educational activity for an identifiable group.” “All the seniors should be included in the activities,” she said, adding that all should go or none go. “No school activities should be so expensive that students cannot participate.” Cap-and-gown contracts Smith rejected the district’s response to her Uniform Complaint which denied any violations of the law, and she plans to pursue her fight for equal access and equity. “I have appealed the San Dieguito school district decision because its legal analysis puts it on very shaky ground,” Smith wrote in an email June 19. Regarding the San Dieguito cap-and-gown fees that were illegally charged to students and are being refunded, Smith wrote, “State superintendent Tom Torlakson sent an advisory to all school districts in October that fees were not to be charged for graduation, so there is no excuse for charging for the caps and gowns.” After the district received the CDE notice last fall, all high school principals were advised of the new regulation, Dill said. But not one school informed students and parents of the new policy. “In the end it just didn’t translate,” he said. “Messages sometimes don’t get communicated well.” The cap-and-gown agreement with vendor Jostens Inc. for Torrey Pines High School was a scant one-page “contract” that even Dill thought was iffy. “I’m not sure this is a good contract,” he said. The latest agreement, signed by then principal Brett Killeen, is dated Nov. 19, 2009, and Dill said it is probably still active. “We do have lots of agreements that roll over unless otherwise cancelled,” Dill said, adding that this one “is probably the shortest.” The agreement states that Jostens will supply the cap-and-gown unit for $30 each for the 2009-2010 school year and that the school will receive a flat fee of $3,000 in “rebates/contriSee FEES, page 27
Rant with Randi: Empty Nest Blues BY RANDI CRAWFORD About a month ago, I received a text from a frustrated friend. She said that once your kids start getting serious about sports, especially at the high school level, there’s no time for anything else in your life. She wrote, “Our lives have become ridiculous. The only time I see people is when I go to weddings or funerals. We don’t ever hang out with friends because our life is consumed with our kids’ sports. I want to make a concerted effort to change that and start living the way our parents did, and spending more quality time with our friends.” My first reaction was that I agreed with her. Everything she said was accurate. Our family is totally consumed by youth sports. Everyone in my “bubble” is generally on a sports team with our kids, and while I have non-sports friends, I rarely hang out with them. What’s wrong with that picture, besides everything? It’s wrong that it should be so difficult to hang out with people you enjoy because you are too busy with youth sports. I’m not even sure when this transition took place, but gradually, over the years, it’s become our only way of life. In other words, without sports commitments on the weekends, we’re pretty much lost. This week, I experienced a real empty nest. While planning the “Club Sport Summer Tour,” we didn’t realize that we had an overlap of both kids being gone at the same time. My husband and our son were on the East Coast for a tournament, and my daughter was invited to go on vacation with a family friend. And behold, I was left alone (with two dogs), for four nights and five days. Moms, can you even begin to imagine? At first I was like a kid in a candy store. My head was spinning with freedom and a serious lack of responsibility. I didn’t do laundry, cook or clean until the day they were all coming home. If you know me, you would think an alien invaded my body and hijacked my brain. I’m a laundry ninja. And my house is always stocked. It was one of the most surreal weeks of my life (at least my life since having children). Here is just some of what I did when left alone: I actually went out for a GNO (girls night out) and had fun, imagine that? I watched Netflix into the wee hours of the night. (Can’t do that when my husband is home.) I slept in, worked out, read an entire book by the pool, perfected my tan, did some writing, got my hair cut and colored, and even worked in a 90-minute massage. I mean seriously, this was epic. But on the fourth day, it got weird. By Saturday, I wanted my family home. I got lonely. I woke up, looked around, and nobody was home. I even missed the fighting. I know, I can’t believe it either, but it was so quiet that I started to seriously freak out. My husband being gone added to the weirdness of the situation, but if this is what an “empty nest” feels like, yikes. How are we (moms) supposed to go from full speed to zero? It’s just so unnatural. When your kids need you, that’s natural. Yes, it can be exhausting, but it makes us tick. So this got me to thinking about the text from my friend last month, when she referenced that our lives are too revolved around our kids and their sports. Without my kids home and sports to drive them to, after a few days, I was seriously questioning my sanity. I even went to watch my nephew play lacrosse, and he was wondering why I was there if my own son wasn’t in town. I spoke with a friend and she admitted that she would have no idea what to do without her family home. Balance is a boring and overused word, but so true. We have to find balance so that when we do experience the “empty nest” for real, we don’t lose our minds with the silence that lingers in the house. Have you experienced empty nest this summer with kids at camp? Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update Superintendent Rick Schmitt updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through local media with a monthly update. Topics covered include curriculum, facilities, budget, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on facilities, specifically related to enrollment at our high schools. BY RICK SCHMITT The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) is proud to offer our students and families the choice of four unique and amazing high schools. Each year we strive to ensure that every student is able to attend his or her first choice in high schools, and we’ve been highly successful in this effort over many years. Recently, community members have asked the district to review current high school enrollment practices in response to concerns that some students who live nearby our two nonboundary schools (San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy) were not admitted through the lottery process. As you may know, two of our district high schools are boundary schools (La Costa Canyon HS [LCC] in the north and Torrey Pines HS [TPHS] in the south) and two of our high schools are non-boundary schools (San Dieguito HS Academy [SDHSA] and Canyon Crest Academy [CCA]) , which are open to all students in the district on an equal basis regardless of where a student may live within our district. Each year high school students declare which high school they want to attend the following school year. While all students are guaranteed enrollment at their boundary schools as determined by their residence, they may still apply to attend any of our
four outstanding comprehensive high schools. As long as there is space available, all students who apply are admitted to their first choice school. If demand for enrollment exceeds capacity at a particular school, students are admitted through a random lottery as required by California law. We are proud that under this High School Selection system over 98 percent of incoming 9th graders were admitted to their first choice school over the last Rick Schmitt eight years. SDUHSD’s practice of allowing families choice in selecting their high school has been popular over the years. We also recognize that our community has grown and changed since we adopted our school choice practices and the demand for attendance at our two academy schools has increased over time, so a thoughtful review of our enrollment practices is appropriate at this time. As a result, we will engage with the larger SDUHSD community to inform residents about high school enrollment options and to seek input on how we should proceed with high school enrollment in the future. To accomplish this review in a timely and constructive fashion while also ensuring input from all current and future stakeholders, we have decided to establish a districtwide task force which will include parent and student representatives from across the district, along with teachers and board members. The Task Force will: • Examine enrollment capacity and demand at our schools • Review short and long-term demo-
graphic and enrollment projections • Explore short, intermediate, and longterm solutions to match demand and available space at our high schools • Educate our community on the issues • Discuss current high school enrollment processes • Seek additional input from the community • Make recommendations to the board regarding high school enrollment policies Parent and student participation on the task force will be solicited via an email to all SDUHSD families and a subsequent application process. For the last year SDUHSD has examined a variety of potential program modification options at LCC and TPHS which have the potential to draw enrollment to these boundary schools. These options include bell schedule revisions, increased academic and elective offerings, along with flexible scheduling choices. We will continue to examine these and other options for possible implementation in the 2015-16 school year with the knowledge that increased enrollment demand at LCC and TPHS will result in corresponding decreased enrollment demand at SDHSA and CCA. Our district’s goal has always been, and will remain, to allow each student to attend his or her first choice in high schools. We’ve been very successful in achieving this goal since establishing SDHSA as a non-boundary school in 1996 and CCA in 2004. The issues related to enrollment practices, boundaries, and choice in schools can be complex. Any constructive solution will require a clear understanding of the issues and input from all members of our educational community. Any changes to district enrollment practices
will impact each of our current and future students and revising high school enrollment boundary options will be a long-term process, as the impact on elementary and middle school boundaries remain unclear and are complicated. Making hasty changes to a popular school choice program without full consideration of implications and input from parents, students, and staff would certainly be unwise. Our district has a history of successfully managing both our facility and enrollment needs. SDHSA’s enrollment has grown from 976 in 1996 to a current enrollment of 1,600 and CCA has grown from an enrollment of 1,200 in 2008 to a current enrollment of 1,900. None of this would have been possible without parental support for our schools and the Proposition AA facilities bond which our community recently approved. Proposition AA has allowed our district to incrementally increase enrollment at SDHSA and CCA and also includes plans for long-term capacity solutions with new buildings scheduled at each school. With this strong foundation in place, along with our ongoing commitment to listen and respond to community input, we will arrive at appropriate short, intermediate, and long-term solutions to best meet the academic and social needs of students. I will keep our greater SDUHSD community updated as we look for enrollment balance at all four of our incredible comprehensive high schools. Updates will be available via our SDUHSD website, Facebook and Twitter accounts. You can follow Superintendent Schmitt on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/sduhsd, and Twitter, https://twitter.com/SDUHSD_Supt.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 17, 2014 - PAGE A25

and May Santa Ana winds broke the highest-ever wind speed records for the county. Hot weather, big winds and dry brush make for a dangerous combination. “We’re seeing more fires developing faster and rapidly,” Gibbs said. “I’m anticipating a fire season that’s very long, I don’t see a pause.” Evacuation tips Renee Hill, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District’s new fire marshal, led the discussion on how community residents can ready themselves before the next fire. Hill said a good first step is to register with Ready San Diego’s reverse 911 system at readysandiego.org to be notified of evacuations via cell phone. Landlines are already registered. Make sure to use your home address, and not your P.O. Box. Prepare a disaster kit with a three- to seven-day supply of water and nonperishable food (don’t forget the can opener), flashlights with extra batteries, blankets, clothing for about three days, a first-aid kit, medications, supplies for pets and important documents. Make note of the location of sentimental items that are irreplaceable so they can be easily grabbed when evacuating. Identify and become familiar with at least two ways out of your neighborhood to evacuate in the direction away from the fire. Locally, that would be: • La Granada into Encinitas • El Camino Del Norte into Encinitas • Linea Del Cielo into Solana Beach • Via de la Valle into Del Mar • Del Dios Highway into Escondido Before evacuating, close all windows and doors, shut off air conditioning and heating units, close fireplace doors and move combustibles such as patio furniture away from the home’s exterior walls. Disengage automatic garage doors before closing them, leave automatic gates in the open position and leave manual gates open and unlocked. “Evacuate as early as possible,” Hill said. “We don’t want you on the road in smoky, unsafe conditions.” Find information on evacuations and road closures on social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook: • Rancho Santa Fe Fire: @RSF_Fire on Twitter, facebook.com/RSFFire • San Diego County: sdcountyemergency.com, @SanDiegoCounty on Twitter, facebook.com/sandiegocounty. The SD Emergency app is available free in the Apple App Store and on Google Play. • Calfire: @CALFIRESANDIEGO on Twitter • RSF Patrol: rsfpatrol.blogspot.com Evacuating large animals, such as horses, is also a big concern in Rancho Santa Fe. Hill said the key is planning as much as possible and getting them out early. One resident said it was very difficult finding a place to take horses during the Bernardo Fire — many places were not ready to take in horses during the evacuation. Lt. Jason Rothlein of the Encinitas Sheriffs Department said the Bernardo Fire was a unique situation in that not all of the typical evacuation centers were available: There was a horse show in Del Mar, a rodeo at Pala and an event at Lakeside. He said county emergency services predesignates spaces for large-animal evacuations, and if that situation happens again where centers are not ready or open, then people should contact the sheriff’s department.
Once an area is evacuated, one resident had concerns about the safety of the neighborhood and its homes. Capt. Theresa Adams-Hydar of the Encinitas Sheriff’s Department said once the evacuation is complete, they shut down the roads and stop any car trying to return. The Sheriff’s Department deploys a squad to patrol for suspicious activity such as looters or “fire bugs” looking to start another fire. “We’re always there, 24-7,” Adams-Hydar said. “There are opportunists and we know that.” She added that during the Bernardo, Cocos and Carlsbad fires there were no reported incidents of home burglaries. Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said there was one burglary on a construction site on Zumaque in which tools were taken. Adams-Hydar said the community is fortunate, because this is one of the best-coordinated law enforcement groups in California that works closely in partnership with the fire department. “This command is very locked-on. We coordinate, practice and train all of the time,” she said. Hill said that if you are unable to evacuate, you should remain calm and prepare your home. Call an out-of-town relative or friend to notify them of the situation. Hill said to make sure to give them your street address, as many may only know the P.O. Box address. Call 911 if assistance is needed with nonambulatory residents. The importance of defensible space Maintaining at least 100 feet of defensible space around all structures increases the chance of homes surviving the threat of wildfire, said Conor Lenehan, the fire district’s urban forester. “In the Bernardo Fire, we did not lose a home and I was shocked,” Gibbs said. “Defensible space had a direct impact. A lot was what homeowners did to protect their homes.” The first 50 feet around the home should be well-irrigated and planted with fire-resistant material such as succulents. “We’re very fond of succulents in Rancho Santa Fe. They retain a lot of water, and it takes a lot of heat for those things to burn,” Lenehan said. The fire district has a landscaping guide available, and the district can send someone out to discuss how to make your property more fire-safe. Lenehan said trees such as eucalyptus, pepper, juniper and acacias have a higher flame rate and should be set farther away from structures, preferably 30 feet. Mulch should be kept at least 12 inches away from a structure. Lenehan said they’ve seen even stucco homes burn because the mulch was directly against the side of the house. He recommends pea gravel, decomposed granite or another non-combustible material within that first 12 inches. Keep trees trimmed 10 feet clear of the roof, as Lenehan said dense tees overhanging a roof can drop leaf litter onto roofs or gutters where even the tiniest embers can land and potentially ignite. It’s important to clean gutters as well as to trim trees. Lenehan said that trees should also be trimmed 6 to 10 feet from ground level, to avoid acting as “ladder fuel.” Remove any dead and dying vegetation, and stack firewood neatly 20 to 30 feet from the home. In the second 50 feet from your home, Lenehan said vegetation should be thinned

by 50 percent; this includes having good road clearance on driveways. If people have orchards or groves, Lenehan said to use bare mineral soil within the groves and recommends a 10-foot firebreak free of combustible materials between the grove and any structure. “I can’t tell you how critical that is for us to do our job,� Gibbs said of all the defensible-space precautions. “With large fires, we don’t have an engine at every house, so whatever you can do to make your home stand alone, it’s to your benefit.� Should I stay and use my garden hose to fight fires? Residents at the meeting had several questions about extra steps they can take to protect their homes. One resident asked about purchasing a pump to use water from the backyard swimming pool to fight an approaching fire. “We’d rather you not do that, because we don’t want you in harm’s way, but it is your home and you have the right to defend it,� Gibbs said. “We prefer you to not go that route, but do all the things fire prevention is telling you to do, plan in advance and leave.� Another resident asked about using garden hoses, and Gibbs said that the amount of water that the hoses put out is not going to help that much and will probably evaporate in the heat. Gibbs said there are firefighting gels that are effective that homeowners can apply to structures and landscaping. The gels retain water and act as insulation from a
fire, and depending on the product, can remain hydrated and effective for more than six hours. Gibbs said many times they find homeowners have the gels but don’t have time to apply it. They leave it in front of their homes for the fire department to use (the fire department carries its own gel). Barricade or FireIce are two brands Gibbs recommended, noting all brands can be found by searching “firefighting gel� on the Internet. Some insurance agencies will provide gel application as part of a policy, but Chief Michel said companies will only enter a fire area if it is safe; there might not always be time for them to do so. The safety of propane tanks in a fire was also questioned. Gibbs said they are not that big a concern, as they are designed to withstand a lot of heat and to self-vent. But to be safe, homeowners can make sure that vegetation around the tanks is cleared. Reducing the threat of the Ranch’s signature tree: eucalyptus Residents had many concerns about dead and dying eucalyptus trees around the Covenant — they have seen them along the Ranch roadways and on Association-owned open space property such as the Arroyo (88 acres off El Vuelo) and Ewing Preserve (a 20acre parcel off Linea del Cielo). One resident asked what to do about a neighboring property that has been sold three times in the past five years with vegetation that is a danger and needs to be cleared. Lenehan said this year, the fire district
has been very proactive about sending notices to residents about infected eucalyptus trees that are defoliating and unlikely to return to health. “We’ve been working on this situation for the last 10 to 15 years ‌ it’s been a struggle,â€? said Hill. “We know that they (the infected trees) are not coming back, and we know they’re not going to be healthy. We don’t want to clear-cut, but if we can reduce the trees by 50 percent, that would help, and, additionally, the dense underbrush underneath. We’re trying to reduce as much as we can as soon as we can. “The Ewing preserve is a concern,â€? Hill said. “We’re looking for cost-effective ways to help mitigate that area and get the eucalyptus trees thinned out ‌ We are seeing progress.â€? Arnold Keene, Association field manager, said that the Association has been doing a lot of work clearing trees at the open space properties and also said a priority has been placed on evacuation routes. He said crews recently removed at least 30 to 40 trees at the Arroyo property.

took steps earlier this year to make the process more “welcoming� by changing the name from Art Jury to the Covenant Design Review Committee. In the 2013 Covenantwide survey conducted by the Association, the Art Jury had a 69 percent satisfaction rating and some residents said it was “impossible� to remodel and that the Art Jury was “capricious� and had personal agendas. At the July 3 Association board meeting, the issue of the CDRC was raised during public comment by resident Terry Peay. “There’s no clear objectivity,� Peay said. “I think there’s a need to develop clear, objective guidelines.� When asked for comment, Candace Humber, the president of the CDRC, stated “We appreciate the opportunity to comment but we want to wait and see what is said in the article first so we can prepare a full
response.� RSF Building Commissioner Robert Green said, “We do have booklets, written guidelines and objective standards in a code and we are happy to share those. We are also open to comments from the community that help improve the process for everyone’s benefit.� One of Brizolis’ suggestions is that the CDRC offer some kind of follow-up after homes have been built. She said in some cases — after 20 to 30 years — homes have fallen into disrepair and can become a bit of an eyesore. Gaylord asked the realtors why people are selling their homes in the Covenant and for the most part the roundtable said it’s just for transitional reasons; Catherine said often people with large lots are looking to downsize due to water and maintenance costs. Harwood said that many residents who sell are looking to buy again within the Covenant. “You’re living here, you’re living in paradise,� Harwood said.

FEES continued from page 22 butions” by Oct. 1 of the following school year. Some contractors, like photography and cap-andgown vendors, give money back to the district in exchange for their contracts. Dill said they work on commission and the schools receive “a few dollars per student” from contractors for exclusive rights to sell their services as the preferred vendor. It’s not exactly a kickback, but is certainly incentive for the district to renew the contracts year after year. It took Dill nearly three weeks to find the 2009 Jostens TPHS contract, and he has yet to uncover the agreement with Canyon Crest. Next year the district’s purchasing department needs to consolidate the individual school contracts and “get involved and do something that is coordinated” to receive a better price, he said. This year students paid $40 to $55 for their graduation apparel (money the district is now obligated to refund), when some vendors charge only $13 per unit in bulk. But the idea of traditional graduation attire may need re-thinking altogether, Dill said. In eighth-grade middle school promotion ceremonies, he said students simply wear nice clothes. And at this year’s high school gradua-
tions, he noted that many gowns weren’t zipped, exposing casual clothes underneath, making a dress code for graduation ultimately unenforceable. Dill said the district’s principals all agree that students refusing to wear a cap and gown could walk at graduation anyway. “The principals all said, ‘If kids didn’t want to wear it, that wouldn’t be a hill I would die on,’ on the last day of school,” Dill said. He said a handful of kids every year choose not to even walk at graduation, and that’s permitted because participation in the ceremony isn’t required for a diploma. It’s a tradition to wear a cap and gown but not required, said Dill, calling it a free speech issue. “This is a question we’ll have to consider before we go out and get proposals for a district-level cap-and-gown contract,” he said. Foundations over-reach Nonprofit school foundations are established to raise donations to support school programs, but sometimes they over-step their bounds. For instance, Smith objected to the Sports Physical nights offered each spring by San Dieguito’s foundations. Since CIF rules require physicals before athletes can participate in high school sports, foundations have for years charged a nominal fee for these physicals as a fundraising opportunity. But Smith believes this is not legal. “The San Dieguito founda-
tions are charging for sports physicals, but charities are supposed to ask for donations, not charge fees,” Smith said in an email. “These foundations are not complying with IRS laws.” “While CIF has mandated sports physicals, it is not an authorized fee in the education code,” she said. “CIF rules do not override the state constitution.” Smith was critical of the district’s focus on fundraising, saying, “Instead of being grateful for the immense financial support of parents, the district has sought ways to extract even more money from parents because they do not know the laws.” She referenced the San Dieguito Academic Honesty Policy: “Honest behavior is an expectation for all students in the San Dieguito Union High School District.” “Staff should emulate the behavior it expects from teenagers,” Smith said. Over-zealous school district? Or an over-zealous education activist? School districts and education foundations are becoming more aware that the public is watching and holding them accountable, and the public is growing more cognizant of its rights. Regardless of how these individual issues are resolved, these are good conversations to have. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@ gmail.com.

Riders to compete at ‘Teens, Jeans and Dreams’ to benefit San Pasqual Academy foster youth
La Jolla Cultural Partners
Friends of San Pasqual Academy is organizing a Team Penning Event to benefit the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy. This evening of excitement and thrills starts at 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6 at Del Mar Fairgrounds. Put on your jeans and Western boots and join in the fun. What is team penning? This is a very exciting activity to watch that involves horses, riders and cows. In a timed competition, a team of three riders on horses attempts to put three of the same numbered cows in a pen. The team that does this the fastest, wins! But this isn’t as easy as it sounds. There are 30 numbered cows in a herd and each team must cut their three specific cows with the same number out of the herd. They must bring these cows down to the other end of the arena and put them in a corral. If more than four cows cross over a designated line, the team is disqualified. Many amusing things happen trying to accomplish this feat! Among the riders scheduled to compete are Crosby Bennett, Art Nicholas, Gene Ventura, John Kratzer, George Scott, Melisse Mossy, Travis Mossy, Philip Wilkinson, Jasmin Stair, Luis Cardenas, Megan Fleming, Suzie Kaplan, Roblee Valentine, Sara Barnett, Danielle Cotner, Briant Howes, Steven Hyde, Hap Hansen, Kelly Fielder-Davis, Jenn Marun, Joe Herrick, Lynn Devenport and Joan Scott. Chairpersons for “Teens, Jeans and Dreams” are Peter and Sandy Mossy, and Honorary Chairpersons are Crosby Bennett and Kasey Mac Farlane. Committee members are Lois Jones, Karen Ventura, Monica
Sheets, Teri Summerhays, Kathy Lathrum, Andrea Reynolds, Heidi Hollen, Ann Boon, Mary Beth Oblon, Roblee Valentine, Briant Howes, Gayle Valentino, Gina Daley, George Scott, Connie Mc Nally, Joanie Spence, Debby Syverson and Joan Scott. Sponsors of “Teens, Jeans, and Dreams” are Ken and Carole Markstein, Markstein Beverage, Art and Catherine Nicholas, Bill and Donna Herrick, The Ecke Family, Roblee Valentine and The Ranch EQ, John and Gina Daley, Doug and Pia Jensen, Bill and Connie Mc Nally, EZ Cars 101 and Gene and Karen Ventura. The event will be held in the Del Mar Arena at the fairgrounds. Cost of a ringside VIP Sponsor box is $1,200, which includes dinner and beverages for six, a VIP Wine Reception and a silent auction. Boxes are limited and must be purchased in advance by calling 858- 759-3298. General admission tickets are $30 for adults, $15 for children 12 and younger. A “Calcutta” will start at 6 p.m. before the competition begins. This provides the opportunity for guests to “purchase” a team they think will win the competition. The purse is shared by the highest bidder of the team that wins the Team Penning event. Friends of San Pasqual Academy is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that enriches the lives of foster teens of San Pasqual Academy. For information, call 858-7593298 or visit www.friendsofsanpasqualacademy.org. Donations can be sent to P.O. Box 8202, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

RSF resident’s OMO Child nonprofit subject of national news story TV journalist Ann Curry and NBC Nightly News aired a news story July 13 about Omo Child, a nonprofit organization co-founded by RSF resident John Rowe and Lale Labuko. Omo Child rescues and cares for Mingi children from the Omo Valley tribal region of Southwest Ethiopia. The term Mingi refers to children who are marked as cursed by their tribes. According to Rowe and Labuko, the secretive, taboo practice extends back generations among tribes of Ethiopia’s Omo River valley. Among those labeled as cursed are children born out of wedlock; twins; and those whose top teeth grow in before their lower teeth. Tribal elders fear the mingi children can bring famine, drought and disease. To get rid of the curse, the Mingi children are killed, either by drowning in the river, or being left to die in the bush. For Ann Curry’s report, visit www.nbcnews.com or www.nbcnews.com/news/world/ breaking-brutal-tradition-young-tribesman-fights-babies-lives-n139716 Rowe has recently been in Ethiopia. Via email, he reported, “We had the wife of the Canadian Ambassador to Ethiopia join us to see 21,000 people in the Hamer Tribe end Mingi about three weeks ago. We rescued a child suffering from acute malnutrition who was starting to ‘shut down.’ The Italian Embassy has announced they will bring clean water projects to three Kara villages (5,000 people) on the Omo River.” For more information and to donate, visit omochild.org.

Local middle school student publishes first book, ‘The Champions of Zairon: Cave of Mystic Dreams’ BY KAREN BILLING In her first novel, 12-year-old Sahana Kumar has created a fantasy world inhabited by shape-shifting sphinxes, orbs, enchanted candy and encounters with many things both monstrous and magical. Sahana, an imaginative incoming eighth-grader at Francis Parker School just published her first novel, “The Champions of Zairon: Cave of Mystic Dreams” about three teenagers with special powers. To help launch her book, Sahana had a book signing at Warwick’s in La Jolla on June 15 and has one scheduled for Aug. 23 at the Gallery Bookshop in Mendocino and a couple of more in San Francisco in late summer. The book is available for purchase on Amazon.com and download on iTunes, Nook and Kindle. Fifty percent of the proceeds from her book sales will also go to the Association for India’s Development,, a nonprofit that supports grassroots efforts such as setting up schools in impoverished areas. “I always really liked making up stories in my head and telling stories to my little sister, Sanjana,” said Sahana, a local resident. “When I was 9, I started writing novels. Some I stopped after a few pages, some after 50 pages, but with this one I felt like I could keep the plot going, there weren’t any holes and it was fun to write.” The book tells the story of teenagers Claire, Jason and Zac, who get pulled into the world of Zairon and have to go on a quest, fighting off evil to find a mystic cave. Pages are filled with monsters and magic, potions and poignant moral dilemmas, said Dr. Holly J. Bauer, a literature professor at UC San Diego, one of the book’s reviewers. “Kumar’s first novel will impress you in its own right and even more so when you discover the author is a 12-year-old middle school student,” Bauer said. “Kumar is a natural storyteller and her richly drawn characters and intriguing setting will delight all who enter her mystical world.”
Local student Sahana Kumar, 12, just published her first book, “The Champions of Zairon: Cave of Mystic Dreams.” Courtesy photo Gretchen Taylor, a fellow Francis Parker student, said the book is adventurous, funny, dark and creative. “Kumar’s work is exciting and engaging, one relevant to the interests of middle grade readers. It also serves as the foundation for a complex and thrilling series of books to come,” Gretchen said in her review. Sahana has always loved to read and likes to write “anywhere and everywhere,” clicking away on her laptop while lounging in the family room, killing time in the car on road trips and even on the beach. “She reads a lot,” said her father, Prem. “To try and make sure she was reading the right books, we would read them too and try to keep up with her, but we couldn’t keep up with her.” Her parents, both engineers, knew that Sahana had been writing throughout the summer of 2013 but had no idea that she’d created a 228-page novel.
“We were very impressed when we read it,” Prem said. “For her to suddenly write a book was phenomenal.” Prem immediately started researching book publishers to find the best way to put Sahana’s story before more readers. He selected Telemachus Press, a company with a lot of experience helping small authors publish books in a professional manner. The book went through six rounds of editing, taking about four to five months. “They didn’t take away the 12-year-old charm of the book,” said her mother, Vanitha, of the copy editors. “They preserved the way kids talk and took care to make sure to not alter the style.” “It was really hard,” Sahana said of the edits, which she would tackle after finishing her homework in the evenings. A straight-“A” student, she spent the entire year working on completing the book, crammed into a busy schedule that included Science Olympiad, taking Indian classical music lessons, and playing the violin in the New Youth Orchestra. She also maintains her blog, SPKumarBooks.com, which includes posts of short stories and poems. While Sahana said the extensive editing was not as much fun as the writing part, she was happy with the finished product. “I was really excited,” she said of first seeing the published, bound copy. “It’s really different seeing it on an ereader than actually holding it.” Sahana believes that “Cave” is just the beginning of the Zarion series, and she is already pretty far along on the next book. “I want to keep writing, but not as a career, because ever since I was little I’ve wanted to be a doctor,” Sahana said. “I will keep writing as a hobby.” To learn more about “Cave of Mystical Dreams” or buy the book, visit SPKumarBooks.com.

“The Reagans” for Showtime. He commissioned Egloff to write “Ether Dome.” “It’s amazing to work on a play that is set in this time of 1846 and explores the moment in our history when they were doing amputations, tumor removals and vasectomies without any kind of anesthesia!” Wilson said. “It’s hard to grasp how people could endure the pain, and of course the answer to that is, they often couldn’t. Sometimes people would die of shock on the operating table.” “Ether Dome” has many layers that touch on far more than treatment to eradicate pain, and how a doctor and his student play out an epic battle between altruism and ambition. “The play has a parallel exploration of substance abuse as we particularly see in Horace’s case ... The explorations of these gases lead him to find them exhilarating and ecstatic, not unlike recreational drugs today,” said Wilson. “That became a way for him to alleviate his own emotional and psychological pain at the loss of being betrayed by his young ward, William Morton, who stole
his discoveries, giving him no credit. This was someone Horace thought he loved and treated like a son or brother.” The cast has 16 actors, including Michael Bakkensen (Playhouse’s “Light up the Sky”) as Horace Wells, William Youmans (Playhouse’s “Hands on a Hardbody”) as Dr. Jackson, and Tom Patterson (Playhouse’s “Sideways”) as William Morton. The play highlights many characters in its multiple themes. “There are father-son and teacher-mentor relationships, and if you’re not interested in medical diseases, surgeries or dentistry, I think we all had mentors or teachers like the one that called me at 5:45 this morning,” Wilson said. “‘Ether Dome’ explores responsibility to those relationships, and the reality that is often a blurred situation for many people, as the lines can cross between exploiting and honoring. “Liz is asking some pretty big questions with this play that delve into personal responsibility in medical ethics, dealing with how our health care doles out — whether based on needs or means.” “Ether Dome” runs through Aug. 10 at the Mandell Weiss Forum at La Jolla Playhouse, UCSD campus. Tickets: From $15 at 858550-1010, LaJollaPlayhouse. org.

BY DIANA SAENGER Director Michael Wilson, who is staging “Ether Dome” at the La Jolla Playhouse, is enjoying the fruits of his labor; he is relishing his collaboration with playwright Elizabeth Egloff and Playhouse’s creative team. In addition, on the day of this interview, his TV movie “A Trip to Bountiful,” was nominated for an Emmy award. “My music teacher from sixth grade was watching the announcements and called to congratulate me,” Wilson said. “That was very sweet. The buzz about the nominations will add more buzz to the play’s run at the Ahmanson Theatre after the Emmy awards.” “Ether Dome” is a look back at the idea of an inhaled form of anesthesia — nitrous oxide or ether — as a way of relieving pain during surgery. Wilson said when he was the artistic director of the Hartford Stage, he went looking for something for playwright Egloff to create and came upon a statue of Horace Wells in a park. “In Hartford, Wells is perceived as the discoverer of ether,” Wilson said. “But in Boston, it’s a different story. That’s where they have ‘Ether Day’ every year at a hospital to honor William Morton, who also claimed to invent ether. “I started thinking, ‘These two stories don’t line up.’ In my research, I found that Horace’s life inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,’ so I thought, ‘There’s a play here!’” Wilson learned that Egloff was from Farmington, Conn., outside Hartford. Her father was a doctor who went to Harvard Medical School, which factors heavily in the play. And she was nominated for an Emmy for her work on the script of

Local resident looks to expand programs as head of the Burn Institute BY KRISTINA HOUCK Growing up can be difficult when you look different, but a local camp is giving burn survivors the chance to see beyond their scars. Every year, the Burn Institute in San Diego invites children with burn injuries to participate in Camp Beyond the Scars. About 60 campers ages 5-17 are expected to attend the Ramona-based camp during the last week of July this year. “It’s a really healthy environment for the kids to feel support, get some special attention and have the time of their life at summer camp,” said Susan Day, executive director of the Burn Institute. The nonprofit health agency is dedicated to reducing the number of burn injuries and deaths in San Diego and Imperial counties through fire and burn prevention education, burn care research and treatment, and burn survivor support services. A local resident, Day joined the institute in January. Since then, one of her goals has been to expand
the organization’s programs, including Camp Beyond the Scars. “My hope is that I can take the Burn Institute to a new and different level,” she said. “It needs to stay relevant, and it needs to stay flexible. I’m hoping to just continue to evolve the organization.” Camp Beyond the Scars is the institute’s most notable burn survivor support program. The camp was established in 1987 and San Diego’s local Camp Beyond the Scars launched in 1994. For some, camp is the first time they see another child with burn scars, Day said. In 2013, more than 60 children attended the local camp. “We try to raise their self-esteem and give them self confidence,” said Day, who noted many of the camp volunteers are former campers, adult burn survivors or off-duty firefighters. “The wonderful thing is kids naturally help support each other.” In addition to camp, the institute educates children about fire safety and

In 2013, the institute reached more than 10,000 children in the classroom and sent safety information home to share with their families. With assistance from volunteers, the Senior Smoke Alarm Installation Program brought more than 1,200 homes up to fire code with more than 5,000 smoke detectors last year. The institute’s Juvenile Arson and Explosive Research and Intervention Center program offers mental health counseling to children. As the only court-approved and court-mandated juvenile firesetter diversion program in San Diego County, the program served nearly 200 children at no cost in 2013. The Burn Institute also partners with the UCSD Regional Burn Center. From gas cards to lodging assistance, the in-
stitute provided financial help to 50 families with loved ones in the hospital last year. “I’m just really impressed with the unique programs that we offer,” Day said. “There’s a huge feeling of contentment knowing that you’ve helped somebody, knowing that your programs are easing their pain.” A Michigan native, Day joined the institute after seven years as president of Combined Health Agencies, where she worked with 23 local health charities, including the Burn Institute, to improve the community through individual and corporate giving. She previously worked as the vice president of sales and marketing of the Better Business Bureau for a decade. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business with an emphasis in marketing from San Diego State University. “I’m honored to be part of the Burn Institute team,” Day said. Founded in 1972, the Burn Institute helped open the area’s only regional burn center at University Hospital the next year. During its first year of operation, the burn unit treated 89 patients, including 22 children. Today, the Burn Institute reaches out to thousands of children and adults each year. With six full-time employees and a few part-time employees, Day said the institute’s programs would not be possible without its roughly 160 volunteers, including a 29-member board whose president is Solana Beach City Manager David Ott. The institute also partners with UCSD Regional Burn Center, corporate sponsors, foundations and donors. “This is our hometown. This is our neighborhood. This is our community. I think that keeping everyone safe is so important,” Day said. “The Burn Institute provides me and others a unique opportunity to serve San Diego.” To donate or learn about volunteer opportunities, visit www.burninstitute.org.
The Del Mar Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary brings back the historical event ‘Hats Off to Children’ The members of the Del Mar Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary are tipping their hats to the recent success of Hats Off to Children, held on July 9 at Cucina Enoteca in Del Mar. Ladies gathered from near and far for Hats Off to Children, a luncheon hosted by Cucina Enoteca and a fashion show put on by TRE Boutique, at Flower Hill Promenade. Hats and fascinators designed by Jennifer Buckley were being snapped up to be worn at Opening Day of the Races to be held July 17. Over 15 years ago, the 1st Annual Hats Off to Children was co-chaired by Andrea Naversen Wait, Karen Powell and Suzy Westphal at the former Scalini’s, located across from the polo fields. The theme for the fundraiser was centered on finding the perfect hat for Opening Day to the Races, with several hat designers at the event. High-profile ladies donated “Hats with a History,” fabulous, gently-worn designer hats which were sold at auction. Photos by Jon Clark; For photos online, visit www.delmartimes.net.

Rock band OK Go on viral success, chart-topping hits, and playing at the Belly Up BY ROB LEDONNE When rock band OK Go rolls into San Diego to play a July 24 gig at Solana Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Belly Up Tavern, it will mark the latest in a string of memorable shows in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played in the area a handful of times,â&#x20AC;? said bassist and vocalist Tim Norwood from his home in Los Angeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once, the night we released our second-ever record, we made our debut on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Tonight Show,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; then drove down from Burbank to play at (downtown venue) the Casbah. Maybe 50 people show up,â&#x20AC;? remembers Norwood with a laugh. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star has risen exponentially since those early days, largely due to a string of indie rock hits, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here It Goes Again,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Is Not Lost,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Too Shall Pass.â&#x20AC;? Aside from their music, the band has become known for creative and intricate music videos, many of which become viral sensations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of bands donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t or wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy making them, but we like the experience,â&#x20AC;? Norwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love to make videos that excite people and inspire wonderment, joy, and fun. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of stuff people enjoy watching and playing for their friends.â&#x20AC;? The band, which started in Chicago, first gained national prominence when the video for its 2005 single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here It Goes Againâ&#x20AC;? (which featured the members jump-
ing around on treadmills) took off during the early days of viral Internet videos (it boasts nearly 22 million views on YouTube), and later won a Grammy award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky enough to come up in a time that the Internet has become a showcase space, like an art gallery, where you can make and share things,â&#x20AC;? Norwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that people like our videos is certainly encouraging.â&#x20AC;? The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;likeâ&#x20AC;? is probably an understatement. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest video, for the single â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Writingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s On The Wall,â&#x20AC;? was posted to YouTube on June 17 and in the past month alone has garnered 9 million views and attention around the globe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The song is about a couple breaking up and seeing their relationship two different ways,â&#x20AC;? said Norwood of the video, which consists of a variety of elaborate optical illusions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The song and video focuses on perspective and seeing things in a lot of different ways.â&#x20AC;? The band members originally had the idea to produce a video with optical illusions and forced perspective four years ago. They reached out to a New York-based production company. From there, it took months to hatch a feasible plan, construct a set, and make their unique vision come to life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day, (lead singer) Damien Kulash had seen an advertisement on BBC 4 which

Photo by Gus Powell featured camera tricks where, at certain angles, the same thing looks different,â&#x20AC;? remembers Norwood of the videoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genesis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought we could do it on a bigger scale, and make a cool video.â&#x20AC;? The video, single, and Belly Up gig are all in support of their album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hungry Ghosts,â&#x20AC;? which comes out Oct. 14. Until then, Norwood and his bandmates are continuing to think of eye-popping new video ideas and are, of course, going to enjoy the Southern California weather.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090
The Loss of Work in the Aftermath Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect every facet of life, from memory to physical ability to performing every day functions like speaking and eating. Unfortunately, it goes without saying that TBIs are one of the most catastrophic forms of injury. And when it comes to recovery, restoring full brain function is often rare. In this sense, returning to work after a traumatic brain injury is generally difficult, if not impossible. In a recent report, we learn of one woman’s struggle with traumatic brain injury after she fell backward in a snow storm, landing head first onto icy pavement. “My feet went out from under me and my head just hit the pavement,” said Carey Gelfand, a Glencoe, Ill. resident who said she
was on a business trip in New York when the accident occurred. Although she brushed off the accident at first, a cognitive fog soon developed. Once she returned home, she began forgetting crucial details and lost the ability to focus at work. Exhaustion overtook her body and she was often plagued with debilitating headaches. “My boss [wanted] to take jobs away from me. I was very diminished in my position. I was just so frustrated and I had such poor sense of self,” said Gelfand. Although most TBIs occur as a result of car accidents, some may occur in the most unfortunate and yet ordinary ways such as a trip or fall. Seeking medical attention as soon as a TBI is suspected is essential when it comes to recovery and possible prevention of further injury. “It is important after a brain injury see a neurologist who can administer the proper tests,” the article noted. “Not doing so means it could be weeks or years before the injury is diagnosed.” Gelfland said her job suffered considerably in wake of her TBI. Though she did not lose her job, she struggled to keep up with
demands. Fortunately, she is able to talk about her experience, striving to create awareness for this surprisingly prevalent injury (TBIs affect at least 1.5 million Americans each year). Although Gelfland has maintained her work, most people are not as fortunate. One small study found that low income and unemployment were quite common in the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, leading many into difficult financial positions. There is one bright aspect: psychologists, doctors and other healthcare practitioners are working together to increase head injury awareness. “I think we are in… one of those ‘ah ha!’ [moments]. We know better now,” said Chicago-based psychologist Morgan Wolin. “But, if we know better, will we do better? Will human resources say, ‘Okay concussions are a real thing, let’s take it more seriously?’” As for employee accommodation, most human resource (HR) departments are willing to accommodate individuals with TBIs. For the most seamless transition, employees affected by traumatic brain injury are urged to work with their employers and HR departments to find a reasonable solution.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, individuals with a TBI may need special accommodations such as: SCHEDULE CONSIDERATIONS. You should work with your employer to accommodate shorter work days and/or an increase in breaks. Resting is the key when it comes to recovery. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS. Operating vehicles, heavy equipment or lifting heavy objects are generally prohibited once TBIs are diagnosed. It’s important to keep activities light while promoting rest. For more information on traumatic brain injury and returning to work, click here. Individuals in need of legal help after TBI diagnosis are urged to call 1-800-655-6585 for a free consultation.

M-Theory Music celebrates vinyl in Flower Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Row BY KAREN BILLING A new vinyl record shop has spun into Del Mar with M-Theory Music in Flower Hill Promenade. The store officially opened on June 14, but held a grand opening party on July 12 with live performances from the bands Island Boy and Ditches in Flower Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lively Row Collective courtyard. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scene included outdoor ping-pong matches, and the Rowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Makers Market was held on Sunday with homemade goods and do-it-yourself crafts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Collective down here has a lot of great people,â&#x20AC;? said Rick Tyner, general manager of M-Theory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to be a part of something up and coming.â&#x20AC;? The space definitely stands out in the Row Collective, as local artist Celeste Byers painted the exterior and interior of the store with her uniquely bright designs. On Saturday night, the store teemed with people flipping through new and used vinyl records of everything from new rock to the very rare. M-Theoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of cassette tapes also evoked plenty of nostalgia from browsers. M-Theory also sells turntables and other audio equipment, music books, posters and artwork. This is the record shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second location; the first is in Mission Hills. The store is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beatles vs. Stones at Belly Up on Aug. 22 The debate over the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since they first crossed paths on the charts 50 years ago.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 17, 2014 - PAGE B19
Beach volleyball camp enters 10th year as sport gains punch BY GIDEON RUBIN Ariel Haas launched the San Diego Volleyball Camp a decade ago which was — in terms of the evolution of beach volleyball — an entirely different era. The sport that once sat on the fringes has surged into the mainstream, with major colleges offering scholarships for what within the last year has become an officially sanctioned NCAA sport. Haas will hold the longest-running nonprofit beach volleyball camp in San Diego County for a 10th straight year starting later this month. Haas, the camp’s director, is Canyon Crest Academy’s girls’ volleyball coach. “My goal was to bring out all the indoor kids to learn the beach game,” he said. “This was before colleges started to create and add sand programs and local clubs started to add sand programs.” Times have changed since Haas started the camp in partnership with the Association of Volleyball Professionals in 2005, but his objective hasn’t. The two-week camp is
open to girls ages 12 to 18 of all skill levels. Haas said the participants will be split into beginner, intermediate and advanced divisions. The camp will be held in separate segments from July 21-25 at Del Mar Dog Beach and from July 28 to Aug. 1 at Pacific Beach (South Mission Volleyball Courts). Participants can sign up for either or both segments of the camp. And Haas insists that the camp offers something for all participants. For those with limited experience, the camp offers basic instruction. For advanced indoor players, it offers a an opportunity to develop a more well-rounded skill set playing two-on-two than they get in the indoor game, with six players on each side. Perhaps more important, the sand game provides year-round players a much-needed break from the unforgiving hardwood floors that have led to staggering numbers of knee and foot injuries in recent years amid the proliferation of a club circuit that’s understood to be a requirement

for those aspiring to play at the collegiate level. “Sand is a very nice way over the summer to let your body recover and to build a lot of the stability muscles around your joints to improve your health and your longevity indoors,” Haas said. “You can play on the sand until you’re 70, because it’s so soft on your body.” The camp was sponsored by the AVP when Haas started it in 2005 through the league’s grass-roots program, designed to promote the sport, until it folded in 2010. It is now sponsored by Wilson Sporting Goods, KindaGood. com, Volleyball Magazine, and Style Science Sport Optics. The camp typically attracts participants from as far away as Colorado, Washington and Canada. “We expose the kids to a lot of (beach) volleyball in a fun atmosphere,” Haas said. “Many of them enjoy coming back.” Camp participants will have no shortage of opportunities to apply what they learn.
“It’s the best way to learn volleyball in the summer, because you get so many more contacts and repetitions,” Haas said, noting that beach volleyball’s two-on-two format provides much greater involvement than the indoor game’s sixon-six format, which also involves rotations. “You could play three points in a row indoors and you might never touch the ball,” Haas said. “On the sand, you will touch the ball every single point. That’s the one advantage or difference that the sand game has. It’s far more interactive for players, and it’s going to be maybe a little bit less boring for the player because you’re always involved.” The camp’s past participants include former CCA standout Samantha Cash, who graduated in 2011 and now plays on the sand and indoor circuits at Pepperdine. She played on a Waves team that earlier this year won the inaugural NCAA national sand championship. CCA alumna Delaney Sullivan (2013), who went on to play college ball at Azusa Pacific, is a former camp participant who continues to volunteer for the event. She believes the sand game and her involvement in the camp contributed to her development in the sport. “Playing outdoors is really similar — but it’s really different,” she said. “You have to take up much more of the court, so you’re responsible for everything — so you have to (develop) new skills. If you’re a passer, you have to hit no matter what, and if you’re a hitter, you have to try setting. “You have to get used to (playing) all positions, basically.” Volleyball can get monotonous when it’s played indoors, but outdoor play keeps it fresh, Sullivan said. She’s considering transferring to a four-year school that has a sand volleyball program. “It makes it feel like it’s a new sport,” Sullivan said. “It’s so different, it doesn’t make you feel like you’re doing the same thing as you’re used to.” Visit www.sandiegovolleyballcamp.com/welcome.html, or contact Ariel Haas at arielhaas@yahoo.com.

BY KAREN BILLING The new boutique mani-pedi spot 20 Nail Lounge opened Friday, July 11, in Del Mar Highlands Town Center. General manager Shani Smith was busy at work ensuring that the first customers felt pampered and wonderful in an ultra-clean and cool environment, the experience that is the company’s brand. The company is undergoing a transition, combining the 20 Nail Lounge brand with Marilyn Monroe Spas. The Del Mar Highlands location is one of two in California; the other is in Cardiff. The brand also has two nail boutiques in Scottsdale, Ariz., one in Miami and one in Orlando, Fla., as well as two Marilyn Monroe “glamour rooms” in Florida that do hair and makeup as well as nails, and three Marilyn Monroe resort spas at the Hyatt Times Square in New York, the Hyatt Maui and the Hyatt Monterey. The crisp-looking, clean space sports wood floors and white all over — including a long white nail bar in front where customers perch in high-backed white leather chairs, and a pedicure area in the back where toes are treated while guests kick back on padded benches with red blankets and pillows for their comfort. “We want to be fun and flirty, but sanitation is the key,” said Dan ShackletonJones, the chief operating officer of Marilyn Monroe 20 Nail Lounge.

Its design is still relevant for today’s beach-style living, but also offers a unique opportunity to refresh or rebuild and create a new chapter in this rare oceanfront location. The home, which is listed at $17,000,000$20,000,000, features a large beachside patio, three bedroom main residence, pool, cabana/guest house, private green courtyards, and ample guest parking, all just a few steps from the sand.

Celebrating the dynamic art culture in Carlsbad Village and the surrounding areas, the event attracts thousands of residents and a diverse selection of fine artists, sculptors, photographers and craftsmen. Starting at 9 a.m., visitors can browse exhibits and listen to live music along State Street and Grand Avenue in the heart of the Village, just blocks from Carlsbad State Beach. “The CVA started Art in the Village as a way to draw attention to the local art community, which was largely under the radar until that time,” said Doug Avis, chairman of the Carlsbad Village Association’s board of directors. “We’re pleased to see its success over the years and growth from a small market to a large yearly event that includes artists from all over North County.” As an added feature this year, guests who bicycle to the event will be offered a free valet service staffed by the San Diego County Bike Coalition in partnership with the San Diego Association of Governments and the city of Carlsbad. The valet service will provide secure, supervised bicycle parking so cyclists can enjoy the events without having to hunt for an ideal place to lock up their bikes. Art in the Village will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 10. Artists who are interested in participating should call Show Manager Brian Roth at 760-945-9288 or email info@kennedyfaires.com.
