RSF attorney wins $1.99 million settlement from city for clients BY JOE TASH Rancho Santa Fe attorney Steven McKinley has won a $1.99 million settlement for his clients, who alleged in a lawsuit that the city of San Diego’s redevelopment agency acted improperly when it sought to obtain their downtown property. The settlement, which was finalized July 24 when signed by Mayor Bob Filner, ends a legal saga dating back to 2004. At that time, the San Diego Redevelopment Agency — which is now dissolved — told La Jollans Chris and Margaret LaFornara that it wanted to buy their property at 14th Street and Market in the East Village, as part of a project to See ATTORNEY, page 28

Experts share key fire safety and prevention information at Rancho Santa Fe town meeting BY KAREN BILLING Wildfires have been long been a threat to the Rancho Santa Fe community. At a fire safety meeting on July 23, hosted by the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, longtime resident Tom Clotfleter told tales of the 1943 fire that came through Lake Hodges and burned all the way to Solana Beach. The experience of sheltering in place led Clotfelter to join a volunteer firefighting squad in the Ranch in 1949, a crew who protected the community in a metal-sided camper. The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District has more resources than campers these days, but it still needs RSF residents to be an active partner in making sure they are wildfire ready. There really is no “fire season” anymore — preventing vegetation fires is a year-round responsibility for all property owners in the district, according to the RSF Fire District. “It’s been six years since the 2007 fires, long enough for us to become complacent,” said Suzanne Johnson of the RSF Garden Club, who dedicated last week’s “Get Fired Up” town meeting to the 19 firefighters who were killed in the Prescott, Ariz. wildfire on June 30. Conor Lenahan, who has been the fire district’s urban forester since last June, spoke about how to create a defensible home, the little steps that can make a big difference when it counts.

RSF resident selected to appear on Disney XD’s ‘Disney TRYathlon’ BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident and Canyon Crest Academy sophomore Julia Domann will get the chance to show off her athletic skills to a nationwide audience as she will appear on Disney XD’s “Disney TRYathlon,” premiering Monday, Aug. 12, at 9 p.m. Julia was one of three “kid viewers” tapped to compete on teams with young Disney stars. Her video application was one of three selected out of over 500 entries. Julia was paired with Jake Short, who plays Fletcher on the Disney Channel’s “A.N.T. Farm” and Leo Howard, who plays Jack on Disney XD’s “Kickin’ It.” The show will air over two parts on Aug. 12 at 9 p.m. and Aug. 19, again at 9 p.m. on Disney XD. Julia, 15, was on the varsity track and field team as a freshman along with her identical twin sister Ava. Julia specializes in sprint events and broke the school record in long jump. She also stays highly active by surfing, skiing, riding horses, playing soccer, basketball and tennis. For three days of filming and competing, Julia traveled to Cali Camp in Topanga, Calif. The Disney TRYathon teams were named for the strengths of the “kid viewer” on the team, so naturally Julia’s team was named Team Sprint. Team Sprint competed against Team Bullseye and Team Knockout. Team Bullseye was composed of Bradley Steven Perry from “Good Luck Charlie,” Calum Worthy from “Austin & Ally” and “kid viewer” Javon, a 14-year-old football player and wrestler. Team Knockout included Spencer Boldman from “Lab Rats,” Olivia Holt from “Kickin’ It,” and

Both Howard and Kass appear on a series of “TRYit” interstitials that air on Disney Channel and Disney HD, teaching kids exercises they can do to stay in shape and tips on healthy eating. The “TRYathlon” was hosted by Tyrel Jackson Williams and Hal Sparks from “Lab Rats.” “The most fun thing was meeting all the actors,” Julia said. “Everyone was really nice.” While Julia’s goals include breaking the rest of CCA’s track and field records, the experience of filming reaffirmed her desire See DISNEY, page 30

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Former RSF mortgage broker charged with fraud BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A former Rancho Santa Fe mortgage broker was behind bars in Northern California July 25 following his arrest for allegedly running a bank fraud scheme for years while operating in San Diego County. Federal investigators took 56-year-old Donald V. Totten into custody at his Oakland home on July 24 on a warrant out of U.S. District Court in San Diego, according to the FBI. Totten allegedly obtained $2.2 million in mortgage loans using false information and siphoned off hundreds of thousands of dollars from the sale of properties while operating a brokerage business in his former hometown. From about 2002 until 2007, Totten operated under the business names Integrated Home Loans, Integrated Lending, Money World, Island Financial and Little Angels Living Trust, among others, soliciting borrowers by advertising on television in and around San Diego and elsewhere, according to the FBI. In or around early 2006, he arranged a series of real-estate transactions with a Chula Vista property owner who was struggling to make his mortgage payments, according to court papers. In a complicated set of transactions, Totten first entered into a partnership with an investor from Carlsbad, promising to share the costs of maintenance of properties and then split the proceeds from an eventual resale, according to investigators.

To purchase the real estate, Totten allegedly employed a straw buyer — his investor’s girlfriend — who never intended to live in the properties despite certifications to the contrary on her loan applications, prosecutors allege. In addition to providing significant down payments from his own funds, Totten allegedly falsified the straw buyer’s loan applications and, among other things, inflated her income and assets in order to induce the financial institutions to grant the mortgages. Totten and his loan processor, who worked for his brokerage business Money World, then allegedly sent false supporting documents to the mortgage lenders to bolster the bogus claims in the loan applications. The complaint further charges Totten with purchasing four homes for the same straw buyer simultaneously by intentionally failing to disclose to each lender that the borrower was in the process of buying multiple properties. Totten earned large commissions from the transactions and secretly arranged for the proceeds to be sent directly to his own bank accounts as kickbacks, according to the charging documents. He allegedly concealed his receipt of the payments from the lenders by directing them to Island Financial, a company he controlled, taking in almost $192, 000 in kickbacks alone from the four sales. According to the complaint, after the

Former bookkeeper to be sentenced for embezzlement

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Sentencing was postponed July 24 until Aug. 21 for a former bookkeeper who embezzled more than $545,000 from the Leucadia Pizzeria chain. Susan Dawn Seibert, 49, pleaded guilty last month to one count each of embezzlement and forgery and admitted an allegation that she took more than $500,000 from her employer. Judge David Berry is scheduled to sentence the defendant to four years in prison. Authorities said Seibert forged checks to herself during her four years with the company. The defendant quit her job last year when she learned that the restaurant planned to audit the books, according to Deputy District Attorney Anna Winn. The audit showed that Seibert had written 172 checks to herself from the Leucadia Pizzeria account, Winn said, adding that the checks were forged with an owner’s signature. Winn said Seibert covered up the embezzlement by listing legitimate vendors as the recipients of the checks. The prosecutor said Seibert told the Leucadia Pizzeria owners that she took the money to pay back a previous employer who had sued her for embezzlement. Leucadia Pizzeria has stores in Encinitas, La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe.

sales closed, Totten had the straw buyer sign over the deeds to the properties to a trust that he controlled, effectively obtaining ownership. Eventually, however, each of the four mortgages defaulted and the properties were foreclosed. The lenders and secondary mortgage purchasers, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, suffered losses as a result of the foreclosures, authorities said. The charges stem from an ongoing criminal investigation conducted by the FBI, Internal Revenue Service and Federal Housing Finance Agency, Office of Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego.

Rancho Santa Fe nonprofit builds school in Africa BY KRISTINA HOUCK At just 3 years old, Karen can sing the French national anthem. When her father comes home from work, she greets him with, “Bonjour, papa!” Karen’s father, Theodore, is amazed his daughter is learning how to speak and read French at such a young age, said Agnes Barrelet, executive director of Hands United for Children. Karen and 35 other children are able to count and recite poems in French because of the Rancho Santa Febased nonprofit. French is the official language of Burkina Faso, and understanding the language is necessary for children to succeed in school in the West African country. That’s why Hands United for Children is building a preschool for children in Sapone, a town located 30 miles south of the country’s capital, Ouagadougou. “Children are going to school for the first time at 6 or 7 years old, and they speak a dialect, not French,” Barrelet said. “It’s very hard for them to learn what they have to learn and learn the language at the same time. The idea of the preschool is to actually get them to learn the language prior to learning whatever they have to learn in first grade, so the children are more developed.” Hands United for Children raised $50,000 in 2012 to begin construction on Sapone’s first preschool. The first classroom, restrooms, kitchen and playground were completed last summer. In late June, Barrelet visited the school’s first class, which included 36 children ages 3-5. She also launched construction of the second classroom and lunch area by laying the first handmade brick. “It was just amazing,” said Barrelet, who has been executive director since June 2011. “Everybody there really wanted to show that they are doing what they are expected to do. The kids were very polite and showed me they could count to 17 in French. The teachers were so happy to show me the curriculum.” For 11 days, Barrelet visited with the students, who she said all wanted to hug her and hold her hands. She brought

school supplies and gave each of the children a teddy bear. The Rancho Santa Fe resident also met with village representatives and the parents of the children. A few of the parents who were able to speak French thanked Barrelet for providing a “safe haven” for their children so they could work. “By providing an education for the children, we also help their family to survive,” Barrelet said. “The preschool was designed because we wanted the moms to go back to work sooner instead of keeping their kids home until they are 6 years old. Now they have the ability to take their kids to school starting at 3 years old.” In addition to learning French songs and poems, students learn hygiene, colors, numbers and shapes. The school also provides lunch for the children, which is funded by Hands United for Children and the students’ parents. “The parents are motivated and feel like they are participating in the adventure,” Barrelet said.

Naked truth: Author shares tales of raw food healing BY ASHLEY MACKIN Local native Diana Stobo said she’s made the switch from using food as “bad” medicine to using food as “good” medicine, and she’s on a mission to share her story. She is the author of “Get Naked Fast” and “Naked Bliss,” books about the “naked” lifestyle and diet, which is a subset of the raw food movement. Like many others, Stobo said she used food to soothe her in times of stress — especially as a child and teenager. She said eating comforted her in times of loneliness. “Whenever we are sad or confused, we tend to use some kind of stimulation or drug, and in my case, it was food,” she said. To escape being a “chubby teenager,” as an adult she said she began to eat in a way she thought was better. “I thought I lived a healthy life. I thought the foods I was eating were perfectly healthful and inline with F.D.A. requirements (because they were) low fat, low salt, low this, low that. I was doing all these things we think we’re supposed to be doing, and still I was sick,” she said. To help with chronic fatigue, weight gain, thyroid issues and ulcers, among other concerns, she took a variety of pharmaceutical medications. “I had to take a pill just to get

heated above 118 degrees,” she said. She also focused on eating foods with healing properties (turmeric, for example, helps with inflammation). While The Naked Diet is a mainstay for Stobo, she also began integrating raw foods into her diet. She said by eating raw foods and being on The Naked Diet, she has healed all her ailments and is not taking any medication. And that’s not with being on the raw food diet 100 percent of the time. She said she eats about 80 percent raw foods. For the average person, she suggests a goal of 50 percent. “If you increase (raw food intake) to 50 percent, you are doing your body a Diana Stobo’s book “Get Naked Fast” reveals how to implement The Naked Diet and heal the body with certain foods. (Diana Stobo is pictured on the book cover above.) out of bed,” she said. Unhappy with how many medications she was taking, Stobo said she began to study nutrition as a way to heal her body. She made a list of foods she wanted to remove from her diet, based on her findings. She cut out meat, dairy, wheat, sugar, caffeine and alcohol, which she calls “The Naked Diet.” “I took those (foodstuffs) out of my diet and lost 10 pounds in 10 days — without going into raw food, just taking those foods out of my diet. That alone detoxed my system,” she said. After eliminating those items she needed to replace them for sustenance, so she started eating raw foods, which “come from the Earth, are unprocessed, uncooked and never

She also has recipes for raw barbecue sauce and raw creamy carrot soup. She also coaches people through the change in diet and said that her clients tell her “live” food has made them “come alive.” “All these things we walk around with — fear, guilt, self-judgment, weight — it just falls off them,” she said.

RSF’s Vandeweghe defeats Kiick in La Costa Professional Tennis Tournament BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Coco Vandeweghe of Rancho Santa Fe defeated Allie Kiick, 6-1, 6-2, July 30 (just before presstime for this newspaper) in a first-round match in the $795,707 Southern California Open women’s tennis tournament at La Costa Resort and Spa between players with relatives who were also professional athletes. The 21-year-old Vandeweghe is the niece of former NBA player and executive Kiki Vandeweghe. Kiick, an 18-year-old from Plantation, Fla., is the daughter of former NFL running back Jim Kiick. Vandeweghe earned a spot in the 28-player main singles draw by winning three qualifying matches, including a 7-6 (3), 6-3 victory over Olga Savchuk of Ukraine Monday. Kiick received a wild card entry into the main singles draw. Vandeweghe is 199th on the Women’s Tennis Association rankings, 100 spots ahead of Kiick.

great healing service,” she said. Attaining a diet of 50 percent raw foods is surprisingly do-able, Stobo claims. Changes such as adding coconut milk to coffee instead of cream or making a smoothie at home with fruits and vegetables, ups the percentage. Alternatively, she said if people wanted to eat raw during the day, they could eat anything they wanted for dinner – moderation considered – or go out for drinks. Stobo has her own YouTube channel on which she offers free cooking demonstrations that use raw foods in common recipes. Her Waldorf Salad for example, uses apples, radishes (which

CCA teen participates in Student Leaders Program BY KRISTINA HOUCK Local resident Suzanne “Suzy” Eiffert will complete her first internship before she even begins college. As part of the 2013 Bank of America Student Leaders Program, Eiffert participated in a week-long summit in Washington, D.C. and is spending the rest of her summer as an intern for a local nonprofit. A recent graduate of Canyon Crest Academy, Eiffert was one of five San Diego-area high school students selected to take part in the program, which awarded 225 high school juniors and seniors from around the country with a trip to the nation’s capital and a paid eightweek summer internship at a nonprofit organization. Eiffert, 18, is interning at Community HousingWorks, a San Diegobased nonprofit that offers affordable housing, financial classes and coaching services, loans and other community programs. During her internship, Eiffert has developed activities and events for the Running Readers program, which aims to improve literacy skills in children. Running Readers is one of several programs offered at the organization’s 17 rental communities. “I get to work both in the office and with kids all across San Diego,” Eiffert said. “It’s fascinating to see how you can create something and then see it happen with the kids.” Although this is Eiffert’s first job and internship, she received some

Suzy Eiffert in Washington D.C. Courtesy photo training while attending the Bank of America Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., from July 8-13. Summit activities included a service learning project and a series of interactive workshops, including Capitol Hill briefings and sessions on financial education and leadership development skills. “It was nice to meet other kids from across the U.S. who were passionate about serving their community and giving back,” said Eiffert, who noted her favorite summit activities were the briefings and national monument tours. “I learned a lot about leadership, government and how important it is to serve your community.” Eiffert is an active volunteer in the community. For six years, she was a member of National Charity League, a mother-daughter membership organization that serves communities across the country. As a junior in high school, she began volunteering weekly at the Helen Bernardy Center for Medically Fragile Children at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. Her volunteer experience at the hospital inspired her to create the Helen Bernardy Center Club at school, which encouraged her peers to volunteer at the center. “I think that there’s so many issues in the community that with a little bit of everyone’s help, they can be solved so easily,” Eiffert said. “It’s important to give back and help out any way you can.” Eiffert, who plans to study math and Spanish at University of Puget Sound in the fall, encourages community-minded high school juniors and seniors to apply for the Student Leaders Program next year. “It is an amazing opportunity, and I think everyone should apply to it if they can,” she said. “I’m so grateful to Bank of America for all that they’ve done for us. It was an incredible experience.”

RSF Golf Club hosts ‘Future Legends’ Golf Tournament and fundraiser It was a festive day at the RSF Golf Club on July 22 as more than 100 golfers gathered for a fundraising golf tournament. The primary purpose of the event was to raise funds for the RSF Golf Club/Chuck Courtney Honorary Scholarship Fund. Last year’s scholarship recipients, Steven Sakara and Xylina Romero, joined in the festivities, as did this year’s scholarship winners, Said Shaba and Eugene Yang. Shaba and Yang will both be attending UC Berkeley in the fall. Another 50-plus people came for the evening program of silent and live auctions, dinner, and dancing to the music of Nancarrow. Maria Baker, Chris Baker, Bibbi Herrmann The level of support was overwhelmingly generous from businesses to private individuals. Bob Baker provided the initial “seed” money for the Fund and once again was participating. Dan Green was the Tournament Sponsor, in loving memory of his wife, Flo, and their beautiful marriage of 66 years. Many in attendance came for the “Flo Tournament & Dinner,” including family and friends, both local and from Philadelphia. Flo and Dan’s son, Richard, honored Flo before dinner, sharing favorite memories of his mother with the group. The day was a huge success in terms of fun for everyone; most importantly, at day’s end, the success for the Scholarship Fund was more than $105,000. Contributions were tax deductible, and all funds administered by the RSF Foundation, Christie Wilson, executive director. Photos/Jon Clark; Photos online at www.

RSF’s Dr. Sean Daneshmand and Miracle Babies latest winner in the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. Hometown Heroes Program The caring and nurturing spirit emblematic of the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. brand is once again being celebrated as its fans have selected RSF resident Dr. Sean Daneshmand and his non-profit Miracle Babies organization as the latest recipient of its Hometown Heroes program. For receiving the largest amount of votes in the April/ May competition, Bandai Co., Ltd. and Sync Beatz Entertainment will award a $5,000 contribution to Dr. Daneshmand and the San Diego-based group which he founded in 2009. The mission of Miracle Babies is to provide support and financial assistance to families with critically ill newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and to enhance the wellbeing of women, children and their families through education, prevention and medical care. As a perinatologist (high-risk obstetrician) working with a great number of brave, hopeful women and their

families, “Dr. D.” noticed that many were financially unable to be in the hospital with their babies every day. His efforts have provided over 600 families with financial assistance to pay for living expenses, transportation, medical equipment, prescriptions, baby supplies, and sibling childcare, which allows them to be with their baby while they receive critical care at the facility. As part of his further commitment to preventing premature births, Dr. D. launched “Healthy Women Healthy Children” this year, an additional Miracle Babies program dedicated to healthy weight management for women before, during and after pregnancy. To learn more about the work and achievements of the organization, visit http://www.miraclebabies.org/.

Bandai Co., Ltd. celebrates the latest recipient of its Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. Hometown Heroes Award with a $5,000 contribution to Dr. Sean Daneshmand, founder, and Kevin Robertson, executive director of San Diegobased Miracle Babies, a non-profit organization which provides support and financial assistance to families with critically ill newborns in neonatal intensive care.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Bicoastal architect William Georgis celebrates release of retrospective book BY PAT SHERMAN â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to shock,â&#x20AC;? says local- and New York City-based architect William Georgis in a recently published retrospective of his exterior and interior spaces. And shock Georgis does â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as evidenced by the arresting imagery in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make It Fabulous: The Architecture and Designs of William T. Georgisâ&#x20AC;? (Monacelli Press, $50). The book showcases an array of his high-end residential projects (several including eccentrically-appointed panic rooms), as well as galleries, restaurants and commercial spaces heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed (inside and out) through the years. The book concludes with a section on architect William Lumpkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1955 modernist La Jolla home, which Georgis purchased and redesigned several years ago with longtime partner Richard Marshall (a former curator of contemporary art at the Whitney Museum in New York City). Lumpkins (1909-2000), who began his career as an architect and painter in Santa Fe, N.M., and spent a decade living in the La Jolla house, is perhaps best known locally for designing the Athenaeum Music & Arts Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark rotunda building and the historic University House at UC San Diego (originally owned by William Black, the developer for whom Blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beach is named). â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents spent the last 20 years of their lives in La Jolla. I came and visited them frequently and just fell in love with it,â&#x20AC;? said Georgis, who holds a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in art history from Stanford University and a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in architecture from Princeton. While Georgis maintained the exterior integrity of Lumpkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house (which had fallen into disrepair), his interior re-imagining of the home employs his characteristic juxtapositions of the opulent and the outrĂŠ (or his application of â&#x20AC;&#x153;subversive intent,â&#x20AC;? a process by which he mines below the surface of his clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; initial request to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make it fabulous!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; exposing elements of their risk-taking natures as part of the larger design scheme). His La Jolla homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;powder roomâ&#x20AC;? (bathroom) features black fixtures, Japanese woodblock prints and bullet-riddled mirror panels, which Georgis says he shot up in the desert near Ramona (an element he also used in a New York apartment, whose owners deemed his original bathroom concept â&#x20AC;&#x153;too tasteful,â&#x20AC;? he said). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can imagine an aging Joan Crawford walking in,

Georgis stands beside the bar of his La Jolla home, where he said cocktail hour begins at 5 p.m. Photo/Pat Sherman looking into the mirror, and pulling a mother-of-pearl-handled pistol out of her clutch to obliterate the lies,â&#x20AC;? Georgis writes in his book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guests have asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My God â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what happened in here?â&#x20AC;? Themes repeated throughout Georgisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; projects include: rugs designed from splatter patterns of ink, paint or blood; animal accents like taxidermy (including an upright rabbit on the table of Georgisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Upper East Side townhouse and a bobcat perched in the rafters of a log home in Big Sky, Montana); rugs, upholstery and pillow covering fashioned of goat, rabbit and skunk pelt; and the skeletons of marine mammals and other small creatures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each lending a sort of a feral whimsy to his spaces. Taxidermy and skeletons evoke the items in a Renaissance-era cabinet of curiosities, and sometimes play â&#x20AC;&#x153;supporting roles in domestic dramas,â&#x20AC;? Georgis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the same way that I might mix a Roman torso of Herakles with a corpus and Jacobean table, I also mix textiles,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animal prints introduce a savage element akin to a leopard print bikini on the beach.â&#x20AC;?

For his La Jolla home, perched above Torrey Pines Road with an awe-inspiring view of La Jolla Shores, Georgis and Marshall filled the rooms with some of the eclectic furniture theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been storing in New York warehouses through the years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Egyptian Revival-style furniture and a 17th Century Coromandel screen procured at Sothebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in New York, and several Art Deco settees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been collecting furniture all my adult life,â&#x20AC;? Georgis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea when we came here was to use a lot of those furnishings. In a way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an eclectic mix, but it also tells the story of who we are moving across the country with all of our belongings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Often people come into La Jolla from somewhere else and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the character of the people bringing their personal history with them.â&#x20AC;? Though at present Georgis and Marshall use the La Jolla residence as a vacation home, Georgis said he just started a residential project near La Jolla Country Club, and hopes to spend more time here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New York can get in your face â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really aggressive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming here, I feel like I can relax.â&#x20AC;?

One Block North of Moonlight Beach

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN When mind-body medicine man and spiritual guru Deepak Chopra, M.D., aligns with the venerable power team at UCSD’s Center for Integrative Medicine, you get a holistic prescription for healing from the inside out. Chopra recently spoke at an event hosted by the Integrative Center to launch a collaborative association. (Other healing partners include Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and Bastyr University.) The fare served illustrated Chopra and his associate’s determination to walk their talk by nourishing guests with organic and vegetarian delights of red quinoa succotash, assorted gazpacho shots of Heirloom tomatoes, carrot, honey ginger and avocado cucumber, seven colors of the rainbow marinated veggies from orange cauliflower and purple carrots to golden and ruby beets, tapenades of roasted garlic, artichokes and mangoes to spread on multigrain crackers, washing it all down with biodynamic wines from the Organic Wine Exchange. Attention-getting highlights of Chopra’s presentation (reminiscent of a spiritual stand-up comedy routine) began with a navigational tour through the shoals of the five buckets of total wellbeing: physical, community, social, financial and career balance. Chopra also thrilled the audience with assurances that most inherited weaknesses can be overcome (only 5 percent are set in stone like Angelina Jolie’s BRCA1 wired for breast cancer) by reprogramming genes through modifying eating habits and lifestyles, so they don’t behave badly and trigger disease. Chopra said, “even biomarkers for aging can be reversed as genes’ activities are constantly being influenced by breathing, thoughts, desires, drives and eating.”

Hindu Indian-American physician, holistic health/ New Age guru and alternative medicine practitioner Deepak Chopra and the Kitchen Shrink. The Center’s ultimate goal is to transform the health industry into a more holistic-focused lifestyle system. Integrative physician Gordon Saxe, the Center’s director of research, and executive director Gene “Rusty” Kallenberg, M.D., the original architects of UCSDCIM, are still operating on the enthusiastic level of space explorers. Their work infuses the community with a hopeful message of better health through common sense and self-control. The Integrative team put its proselytizing into practical action with acupuncture, a stress reduction program, group classes in tai chi and yoga, osteopathic manipulation, and a series of natural healing and cooking classes. Lauray MacElhern, educator and healing cooking virtuoso is co-founder of the program, which uses a “food as medicine” approach for various classes. This Hippocrates ethos for prevention and wellness is embraced by an eclectic patient body from those with cancer, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune conditions and diabetes to concerned parents, vegetarians looking for nutritional balance and “the worried well,” who want to boost their health and ward off any future conditions. According to Saxe, the camaraderie of the groupbased educational setting is more fulfilling, fun and effective than a one-on-one in a sterile office. The program offers a series of eight interactive classes at the teaching kitchen of Casa de Luz

in North Park. Participants enjoy easy, breezy, tasty, organic plant-based meals, while learning healthful techniques for dialing up the powerful properties and flavors of foods, herbs and spices as they break GMOfree bread with friends. In his three decades of studies, Saxe said he learned about food’s remarkable potential not only to prevent, but even reverse many diseases, including some notorious ones. He advocates a whole food, primarily plantbased diet that is balanced, organic, seasonal and dairyfree with a mother lode of whole grains (quinoa, kasha, farro), cruciferous and brassica vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts), beans and legumes.

Green Bliss Smoothie The Integrative Center contributed this cool summer sip to invigorate your spirits and soothe your soul. Namaste! Ingredients 3 large kale leaves 2 celery stalks Juice and zest from 1/2 lemon 1 1/2 cups of non-dairy milk (almond, hazelnut, hemp) or apple juice 1 cup of grapes (red or green) 1 inch piece of ginger or 1 tablespoon grated 1 frozen banana 1 handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) optional 2 pitted dates Method: Grate ginger, toss in blender with nuts and dates. Purée, then add non-dairy milk, kale and celery. Process, adding extra milk for desired consistency. Add grapes, lemon juice and zest, and frozen fruit. Blend until smooth. Garnish with lemon twists.

Horse racing another challenging but fun business for local resident David Batchelder BY JULIE SARNO Horse racing is a tough business. Local resident David Batchelder is used to tough businesses. He chooses to own racehorses as a way to have fun and relieve stress. Batchelder is a partner in Bloom Racing Stable LLC. He and his wife, Sylvia, own part of 12 racehorses. Batchelder serves on the Board of Directors of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. He had dabbled in ownership with West Point Thoroughbreds, where family friend Jeff Bloom served as a vice president and regional manager, prior to forming Bloom Racing Stable in 2011. Once Bloom Racing Stables was formed, Batchelder became more involved. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first horse was Majestic City. Batchelder bought an ownership interest in Majestic City prior to his first race in July of 2011. Majestic City won his first, the Hollywood Juvenile Championship (G3), and finished second in his next start, the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity, an impressive beginning for the handsome chestnut son of City Zip. In November of 2011, Majestic City raced in the Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup (at Churchill Downs that year), which is to racing what the World Series is to baseball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went to the Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup with Majestic City,â&#x20AC;? recalled Batchelder of his first Bloom Racing runner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There, we saw people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in racing their entire lives waiting for a horse good enough to be in those races. And we were there with our first horse.â&#x20AC;? Batchelder and his Bloom Racing partners received a dose of reality when Majestic City finished next to last in the Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup. Partnership members sometimes change, but Batchelder continues to own part of Majestic City, now 4. Majestic City finished fourth in the Bing Crosby on July 28 at Del Mar. Batchelderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business is investments. He is the founder and principal of Relational Investors LLC, a $6-billion in-

David Batchelder vestment fund based in San Diego that specializes in strategic block investments. He deems the company an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Activist Investor.â&#x20AC;? Internet source Investopedia defines an activist investor as â&#x20AC;&#x153;An individual or group that purchases large numbers of a public companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shares and/or tries to obtain seats on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board with the goal of effecting a major change in the company. . .â&#x20AC;? Examples given were Carl Icahn and Kirk

Kerkorian. In the past, Batchelder has gone on the boards of companies to help revitalize them. Batchelder has served on the boards of 10 companies, many of them Fortune 500, including Intuit, maker of Quick Books and Turbotax. An example he gives is Home Depot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We invested in Home Depot and I went on the board to work with management to revitalize the company,â&#x20AC;? said Batchelder of his 2008-2010 stint as a Home Depot board member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work with the companies to help correct what is causing their undervaluation in the market â&#x20AC;&#x201C; problems which cause your stock to trade at a discount. With a shareholder on the board, it makes a difference.â&#x20AC;? The owner credits his involvement in racing to Jeff Bloom. Bloom, a former jockey, and his family lived near Batchelderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter and her family. Bloomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters, Hannah and Ashley, are friends of Batchel-

derâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandchildren. Racegoers at Del Mar know Bloom as the emcee for Breakfast at Del Mar each Saturday and Sunday during the race meet. Bloom founded and manages Bloom Racing Stable, LLC, in 2011. He has horses with trainers Ron Ellis in Southern California and Gary Contessa in New York. Many owners choose to own racehorses in partnership, a more affordable option than individual ownership. In addition to the purchase price of a Thoroughbred racehorse, the costs for maintaining one range from $35,000 to $45,000 annually. The acquisition cost of a horse coupled with the feed, training, shoeing and veterinary expenses make partnerships more palatable. Batchelderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife enjoys equines as well and he readily acknowledges she is more knowledgeable than he is when it comes to horses. She is a dressage rider. The couple own Los Robles, a ranch near Santa Isabel, where they

have nine horses, including two former racehorses. Sylvia enjoys the process of converting them into dressage horses. The couple have three grown children and two grandchildren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we have a horse in to race and Sylvia comes to the track, she goes to the barn, then to the paddock.â&#x20AC;? said Batchelder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She watches the races close to the track and then goes back to the barn with the horse.â&#x20AC;? Batchelderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other racehorses include two named by his wife, who puts a lot of thought into the process. One is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cackle the Cuda,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; named in honor of drag racing champion (and Rancho Santa Fe resident) Don Prudhomme, who was known for his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda and the throaty engine noise it made when he revved it. Another is â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Red Tie Dayâ&#x20AC;? named for husband Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tendency to wear a red tie when he has a potentially contentious business meeting on his calendar.

The Cambridge School now WASC accredited

Games, chairs, books, dollhouses and glassware are only a few of the items available at Orphaned Objects.

Helen Woodward Animal Center opening new resale shop, ‘Orphaned Objects’ Helen Woodward Animal Center kicks off its next exciting venture Aug. 3 at 10 a.m. The animal welfare organization with 10 unique programs, dedicated to the mission of “people helping animals, animals helping people,” is adding an 11th to its list of businesses. A brand new resale shop, Orphaned Objects – located on Center grounds – will offer visitors an additional must-stop spot. Whether, taking home an “awww”-inspiring new pet or an awe-inspiring antique table, treasure-hunters are sure to find something perfect to brighten up their home. Best of all, funds from the resale shop go directly to the orphan pets at Helen Woodward Animal Center. Orphaned Objects celebrates its Grand Opening this Saturday, Aug. 3 at 10 a.m. with food, fun, fuzzy friends and shopping. Over the past several months, Helen Woodward Animal Center staff and volunteers have been hard at work cleaning, painting, prepping, and sorting donation items, at the former Center Animal Hospital for the summer premiere of Orphaned Objects. The resale shop will offer an abundance of must-have, gently-used items such as furniture; bicycles; jewelry; sporting goods; pet supplies; artwork; books; housewares; designer clothing; high-end antique items; and a kid’s corner with games, toys and doll houses. The idea of turning the former animal hospital into a resale shop grew out of the incredible success of previous years’ Wags to Riches Rummage Sales. Helen Woodward Animal Center’s annual one-day rummage-sale has always been a terrific fundraiser, with hundreds of bargain-shoppers lining up, bright and early, in hopes of discovering the very best treasures throughout the Center’s giant pavilion. “People love finding bargains and knowing they’re helping orphan pets too,” stated Helen Woodward Animal Center Development Manager Laurel Crump. “We thought the idea of letting our supporters do that all year long sounded like a good one.” The Orphaned Objects Grand Opening Party will include refreshments, exciting feature items brought out throughout the day, visits from Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet Encounter Therapy Pets, Center Adoptables and a fun treasure hunt for $5 gift certificates. Dog and cat animal statues, hidden throughout the store, will hide these valuable coupons as prizes to those who find them first! (One coupon per customer, please.) After the Grand Opening Party, Orphaned Objects will close for two days in preparation to reopen its doors for good, starting Wednesday, Aug. 7. Regular business hours will be Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Sundays, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Donations will be accepted during store business hours. Due to the value and fragile nature of many of the specialty items and antiques, pets are not allowed inside the store. Orphaned Objects respectfully requests that all parents leave their fuzzy family members at home while they shop. “Opening a brand new resale shop has been a gigantic project but we’re willing to do the hard work if it can help us save more lives,” said Helen Woodward Animal Center vice president of development Renee Resko. “We’ve been so touched by all the wonderful donation items we have received. It’s been a lovely way for individuals to give to our orphan pets, even when they can’t provide a home for them.” For information on Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Orphaned Objects Resale Shop or to donate items, click on www.animalcenter.org/orphanedobjects, call (858) 756-4117 or stop by Helen Woodward Animal Center at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. The Orphaned Objects Resale Store is located next to Club Pet on the Center grounds.

The Cambridge School is “delighted and thankful” to announce a major milestone in the life of the young school. In only the seventh year of the school’s existence, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) has recognized the excellence of The Cambridge School and has granted the school accreditation for six years. The WASC Commission noted “many laudable aspects” of the school and congratulated Cambridge on the quality of instruction provided to its students.

OBITUARIES

Jean O. Stulbarg 1920 – 2013 Jean Stulbarg, formerly of Rancho Santa Fe, passed away peacefully July 3, 2013, at age 92, in Vancouver, WA. She was born October 26, 1920, to Helen and Henry Orton in Hollywood, CA. The majority of her life was spent in Cincinnati, OH. Jean attended Tulane University until WWII broke out and she met the love of her life, Milton Stulbarg. Married in 1941, they were together for 63 happy years. Jean loved having a family and being the mother of three boys. Her most important task was being a caring mother and grandmother, “the most important day in your life are when your children are born.

Education Matters/Opinion

Transgender equality rights in schools BY MARSHA SUTTON A bill some say is long overdue and others Marsha Sutton call controversial has passed both the state Assembly and the full Senate and is expected to be signed into law soon by the governor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pupil Rights: Sex-Segregated School Programs and Activitiesâ&#x20AC;? (AB 1266, sponsored by state assembly member Tom Ammiano, Democrat from San Francisco), states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A pupil shall be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs or activities, including athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s records.â&#x20AC;? This would require that a public school student in grades kindergarten through 12th be allowed to use school restrooms and locker rooms and participate on sports teams of the gender

they identify with, regardless of their biological sex. According to a July 5 Associated Press story, the bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;sparked an impassioned debate on the Senate floor about when transgender studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; right to expression might conflict with other studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; discomfort and right to privacy.â&#x20AC;? A challenge to the bill failed. Mike Grove, associate superintendent of educational services for the San Dieguito Union High School District, said AB 1266 is a one-sentence addition to an existing law that already prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. This bill simply spells out in clearer detail the rights of transgender students. Grove said the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language was taken almost word-for-word from a policy the Los Angeles Unified School District enacted several years ago, and he said three other states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Washington, Connecticut and Massachusetts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have similar state laws. Although some have raised concerns about transgender rights conflicting

with the privacy rights of other students, Grove anticipates few problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I doubt itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to create major issues,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably scaring some people initially based on what they perceive could be issues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of the what-ifs.â&#x20AC;? The fear, he said, is that a biological boy, for example, will wake up one morning and suddenly decide heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a girl and demand to use the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locker room. But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen that way, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in other states is they have a process put in place where the student has to kind of formally declare their gender identity,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that one day they decide theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to walk into the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locker room.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a formal process by which the student asserts his or her gender identity and therefore their rights related to that decision, and that generally involves the family and is not a casual determination that happens overnight, he said. Once a discussion among the student, the family and school officials takes

place, and the student decides to be identified as the opposite of their biological sex, then the school will ask the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preference about facility use. Many times the transgender student is not comfortable using the restrooms or lockers rooms of the gender they identify with, Grove said. But the student gets to choose. Some districts have provided a private restroom, both for the privacy of the transgender student as well as for other students who might not be comfortable with the situation, he said. But that can be problematic if the transgender student is made to feel isolated. Privacy issues are complicated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dicey, because you obviously canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell everyone that this student is transgender and will be in the locker room with you because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private information for that student,â&#x20AC;? Grove said. Thorny social issues According to a July 9 column by Thom Senzee for The Huffington Post, San Diego transgender rights ac-

tivist Connor Maddocks says self-identification is key. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get to decide who I am, according to the state of California and a growing number of other states,â&#x20AC;? Maddocks is quoted as saying. Although many teens are confused about their sexual identity, transgender children can struggle for years and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suddenly decide to change their gender identity at the flip of a switch. So this kind of decision is not one made lightly. But pitting the rights transgender students deserve against the privacy rights of students who object to sharing a bathroom, locker room or shower with a student who is biologically a member of the opposite sex sounds like a perfect storm of legitimate rights vs. legitimate rights. On the other hand, as a friend said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have to learn not to freak out about differences.â&#x20AC;? Educators getting by on minimal funding to teach traditional lessons in history, math, science and writing may end up spending dwindling taxpayer money on lawyers over challenges to the bill. With limited public money, are these the kinds of issues school districts

should devote their time and public money to? Yet schools as the proper place to sort out these thorny social issues has historical validity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schools are a microcosm of our society, so these social issues have always been a part of our schools,â&#x20AC;? Grove said, referencing the civil rights and free speech movements from the 60s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schools have always been a place where these issues can be volatile because you have this community of all these differing beliefs and political views,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They play themselves out in schools.â&#x20AC;? But he said having students personally involved in movements that raise social consciousness can produce profound changes in awareness and understanding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids can read about civil rights in a textbook, but this is where they see it playing out in real life,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I believe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational for kids and beneficial.â&#x20AC;? Transgender students at San Dieguito San Dieguito has had one or two high school students every few years who identify as transgender, said Grove, who noted that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s See TRANSGENDER, page 30

Foster teens of San Pasqual Academy to benefit from ‘Teens, Jeans and Dreams’ equestrian event Sept. 7 Don’t miss an evening of excitement and thrills on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 5 p.m. at Del Mar Fairgrounds. Put on your jeans and western boots and join in the fun. Friends of San Pasqual Academy is organizing a Team Penning Event,”Teens, Jeans and Dreams,” to benefit the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy. Chairpersons for this event are John and Gina Daley and Jeff and Jenna Daley. Committee members include Lois Jones, Ann Boon, Monica Sheets, Teri Summerhays, Patty Brutten, Kathy Lathrum, Andrea Reynolds, Heidi Hollen, Karen Ventura, Connie Mc Nally, Bill Mc Nally, Jennifer Dunn, Joanie Spence, Debby Syverson, Bob 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, Northern Trust, The Ecke Family, John and Gina Daley, Bill and Connie Mc Nally and Gene and Karen Ventura. What is team penning? This is a very exciting and fun activity to watch that involves horses, western riders and cows. It is a timed competition, where a team of three riders on horses attempt to put three of the same numbered cows in a pen. The team that does this the fastest, wins! Unfortunately, it is not as easy as it sounds. There are 30 numbered cows in a herd and each team must cut three specific cows that have 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! The event will be held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in the Del Mar Arena on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 5 p.m. Cost of a ringside VIP Sponsor box is $1,200, which includes dinner and beverages for six people, a VIP wine reception and a silent auction, which is coordinated under the direction of Karen Ventura. There is a limited supply of VIP boxes and they must be purchased in advanced by calling 858-759-3298. General admission tickets are $30 for adults, $15 for children, 12 and under. A “Calcutta” will start at 6 p.m. before the competition begins. This provides the opportunity to purchase a team that one feels 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.

MEETING continued from page 1 Proper landscaping is a big part of having defensible space. In the first 50 feet from your home, plants should be types that are fire resistant and the area should be well irrigated. The area should also be cleared of dead materials like weeds that can act as lighter fuels in a wildfire. The fire district recommends mulch be pulled back at least 12 inches from a structure as embers can land and smolder and transport into the wall of a home. The district recommends using pea gravel, river rock, decomposed granite or bare, mineral soil in that 12 inches of space. In the second zone, 50 to 100 feet from a home, native vegetation may remain but Lenahan said the “fuels” should be thinned by 50 percent or every third plant. Again, it’s important this area is well-irrigated and dead plant material removed. Residents should also clear their gutters of dead leaves, needles and debris, and prune trees back 10 feet from the roof. Beware of “ladder fuels”— having dense and taller shrubs that creep all the way into canopies of trees. To avoid creating ladder fuels, Lenahan said to “skirt up trees” by trimming low hanging tree limbs six to 10 feet from the ground level, creating space between shrubs and trees. One tree that residents should take care to maintain is palm trees. The skirt of dead palm fronds at the top of the tree should be removed as embers can land, spark and ignite the whole tree. “There’s a common misconception that palm

SCHOOL continued from page 3 driven organization, Hands United for Children was founded in 2006 to provide education, shelter, health and individual welfare to underprivileged children. “The organization is small,” said Barrelet, who is the nonprofit’s primary donor. “We are only volunteers. I try to keep the costs down so all the money that we raise goes to the programs.” The $80,000 preschool will feature three classrooms when construction is completed in 2014. In addition to building the school in Sapone, Hands United for Children is currently raising funds and recruiting

trees are fire resistant and we used to believe that until 2007 came by,” Lenahan said. “They are an ember trap.” Lenahan said another potentially dangerous tree is Rancho Santa Fe’s signature tree, the eucalyptus, many of which are in declining health. Chief Tony Michel said the tree is a “hard and touchy subject.” “We were aggressively active with the eucalyptus problem 10 years ago and we got a lot of kickback, that we were taking away the character of Rancho Santa Fe,” Michel said. “We’re at the point now where many of the trees are very stressed and unlikely to come back. It’s an ongoing issue.” The fire department recommends deep soaking the healthy trees with water and thinning out the smaller, ailing trees to allow an opportunity for stronger trees to flourish. Michel said they are in no way advising clearcutting eucalyptus trees, they are just advising how to reduce the threat of the diseased and dying trees. Lenahan said it’s also important to make sure roadways into a home are cleared so it’s easily accessible by emergency vehicles. Thin driveways that only allow one vehicle to pass at a time and dense vegetation around those roadways make for challenging conditions in an emergency. Emergency vehicles need a vertical clearance of 13 feet by six inches. Address markers should also be in clear view with four-inch high numerals on a contrasting background. Lenahan said to maintain addresses annually and make sure no numerals are missing or hidden from view. Evacuation readiness When planning for evacuation, residents should make sure they have two volunteers so O’Farrell Charter School in San Diego can open a health clinic. “I really wanted to give back, and I always wanted to do something for the health and education of children,” Barrelet said. “I’m blessed to be doing this. “Hopefully, our organization will grow and people will get to know us so we’ll have more funds and impact in San Diego and around the world.” For more information about Hands United for Children and to donate to the organization’s projects, visit www.handsunited4children.org.

ways out from their property and try to pick roads with two-way traffic. Make a list of all important items, have a plan for horses and pets, and prepare an emergency supply kit. RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said that there are safe, secure websites where people can upload important documents so you don’t have to worry about them when leaving your home. Wellhouser said when leaving, don’t forget essentials like medications and gathering sentimental items is OK, but it’s most important to get out and ensure you and your family’s safety. “Stuff is stuff,” Wellhouser said. “Nothing is worth your life so be prepared to leave.” Lenahan said it’s a good idea to build a network of neighbors to rely on in case of a fire. “Talking to your neighbors is huge, especially in Rancho Santa Fe where people are really spread out,” Lenahan said. Neighbors can develop a phone tree to keep each other posted with information during an emergency and building a network will also help identify neighbors who may need assistance, such as the elderly. If residents have time before evacuating, they should close windows and doors, turn off heating and air conditioning, move furniture and draperies away from windows, and move combustibles away from the exterior of the homes. Residents should also close garage doors and disconnect the electricity to automatic garage door openers. Manual gates should be left open and unlocked, and the motor for automatic gates should be disconnected. During an evacuation, Lenahan said people should expect to see disorienting heavy smoke, embers in the air, a high volume of cars and some panicked drivers. Chief Michel and Lenahan said the RSF Fire District has learned a lot since the 2003 Cedar and Paradise Fires. “When we call for an evacuation, we’re going to call early,” Chief Michel said. “If at any time you feel threatened, go. It’s better to leave too early than when it’s too late.” Early evacuation was something that was useful in 2007 — Michel said they did not have panicked drivers trying to get out during heavy smoke conditions and the seven engines tasked with protecting 6,000 homes did not have to worry about other vehicles on the road. If for some reason resi-

dents cannot escape in time, Lenahan recommends staying in homes or vehicles. “Don’t attempt to outrun a wildfire,” Lenahan said. He said fire fronts can take five to 15 minutes to pass and people should stay calm and stay together. RSF Fire will complete fire inspections of homes and properties to ensure they are fire ready.

ATTORNEY continued from page 1 build a mixed-use residential and commercial development over a full city block. Rather than pursue the acquisition, however, the redevelopment agency put its efforts on hold for about five years, leaving a cloud over the property and preventing the LaFornaras from selling to anyone else, said McKinley. In 2011, the LaFornaras lost the property to foreclosure, and the redevelopment agency then bought the property from the bank at a reduced price, McKinley said. “So they never took my client’s property. They negotiated with my client in bad faith and kept him strung out for six years until he lost the property to foreclosure,” McKinley said. The two-phase trial began last December before Superior Court Judge William Nevitt. In March, Nevitt issued a tentative ruling siding with the LaFornaras. In a tentative ruling, Nevitt wrote that the redevelopment agency’s behavior “constitutes coercive precondemnation tactics and unreasonable precondemnation conduct.” A second phase of the trial to determine damages to be paid to the plaintiffs was set for this October, but instead, the city and the LaFornaras agreed to the $1.99 million settlement, McKinley said. Of that amount, $647,000 is for attorney fees. In essence, McKinley said the redevelopment agency announced it sought to acquire the LaFornaras’ property, then failed to move forward, causing the property to lose value. One potential buyer was willing to pay $3.4 million for the property, but backed off after learning of the redevelopment agency’s plans, McKinley said. The agency did offer the LaFornaras $1.2 million for the property in 2010, which, according to court documents, was less than its value as determined by the agency’s own appraisal. In his written ruling, the judge said the agency had made a “lowball offer” intended to “compel or induce an agreement on the price to be paid for the subject property.” Deputy City Attorney Carmen Brock, who oversaw the settlement for the city, declined to be interviewed for this story. She referred

a reporter’s inquiry to the office of City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, which did not respond to a request for comment by press-time. Attorney Andrew Rauch, who represented the city as outside counsel in the case, also did not respond to a request for comment. More than 400 redevelopment agencies were established across the state in past decades. Their job was to eliminate blight from urban areas by promoting new development. Among their powers was to acquire private property, through negotiation or eminent domain, and then sell it to private developers for new projects. The state of California dissolved all of the redevelopment agencies in February 2012. Successor agencies were given the task of wrapping up their affairs, such as completing projects and paying off debts. In San Diego’s case, the city became the successor agency, according to the redevelopment page on the city’s web site. The city has “assumed the former agency’s assets, rights and obligations… subject to some limitations,” said the statement. In an email, Brock stressed that the settlement will be paid from the funds of the former redevelopment agency, and not the city’s general fund. The settlement was approved by the San Diego City Council, as well as state officials who are in charge of monitoring the dissolution of the redevelopment agencies and the state Department of Finance, said McKinley. Under state law, redevelopment agencies received a portion of the property taxes generated through new development in redevelopment areas, called “tax increment.” When Gov. Jerry Brown began the push to abolish redevelopment agencies, he argued that they diverted muchneeded property tax revenue from other agencies, such as schools and cities. According to McKinley, the settlement should serve as a lesson for government officials about the proper use of their powers of eminent domain. “I just think it’s a huge vindication of property owners’ rights,” he said. “So often, these government agencies get carried away with the enormous power they have, there’s a tendency to abuse the power.”

TRANSGENDER continued from page 26 rare at the middle school level “because most kids aren’t ready to be that public with their gender identity at that age.” He said there may be more, but currently only two students have had formal interactions with the district. Typically, it’s a student transitioning to a new gender identity and living an active life as a transgender, he said. Some students have been in the process of or moving toward undergoing sex change operations. “We have had those situations on our campuses, and it really hasn’t ever been an issue other than making sure they aren’t getting bullied,” said Grove, who has worked in the district for 24 years. Facility use has been a non-issue to date because the students “were comfortable going to whatever their biological gender facility was,” he said. “We haven’t had any big controversies where they’re asking for anything that we weren’t able to very easily accommodate without impacting others.” To date the district has

Rancho Santa Fe Review not had requests by transgender students to play sports on teams they genderidentify with, and is waiting to hear from the California Interscholastic Federation for guidance. “It’s all going to be dictated by CIF rules and policy,” Grove said. Current policy and law, as Grove understands it, is that a boy, for example, who identifies as a girl must be allowed to participate in girls’ sports. And vice versa. “CIF is going to be very concerned about that,” he said. “In order for that student to be eligible to play on that team, they’re going to have very clear criteria.” Grove said he would not be surprised to see some litigation around the athletics issue. This bill focuses on K-12 grades only. But – more unintended consequences – what happens if it is applied to college sports, or even professional athletic competitions including the Olympics? Grove said there have been isolated incidents across the country, including one case at the Olympics, associated with this conundrum. “It’s going to have to get sorted out,” he

said. Not a big deal The law already prohibits discrimination based upon gender identity or sexual orientation. “All this [bill] did was make it very explicit,” Grove said. Once the bill is approved by the governor, it becomes law at once. But how it is implemented will take time. “What happens after that is the California Department of Education will come out with guidance for school districts about how you legally implement this in the school setting,” he said. He expects unanticipated quandaries. “We’ll come up with how we think we’re going to do it, and then a scenario will come up that we hadn’t anticipated and we’ll adjust,” he said. When new laws affecting education are passed, the CDE generally provides guidelines, and then San Dieguito reviews its current policies and regulations related to the new law to see if adjustments are needed. “I doubt we will have to make anything formal in board policy, but in terms of our practices we will definitely come up with something specific in writing so

our schools know how to handle the situation,” Grove said. So far he said there has been no communication or resistance from parents or staff on AB 1266. “I don’t anticipate it being that big a deal,” Grove said. Perhaps one high school student I asked about this said it best. He was completely comfortable with the idea, but backed off a bit when carefully considering how to implement the specifics. His thoughtful comment after considering all aspects was this: “The bill is important because it will help people recognize that transgender people deserve equal rights and full respect, just like everyone else. The details are sticky, and implementation will be a trial. But the overall point may be to change the way people think. And for that, it will be worth it.” On that I hope everyone can wholeheartedly agree. Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san. rr.com.

Artistic director celebrates 10 years at Solana Beach theater

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK North Coast Repertory Theatre has been a staple of Solana Beach and North San Diego County for more than 30 years. The theater’s continued success is thanks in large part to David Ellenstein, who has been artistic director for a decade. From choosing plays and hiring directors, to meeting with donors and board members, Ellenstein is responsible for “setting the theater’s tone.” “I like being the person who is responsible for making sure the experience of coming to North Coast Rep is a satisfying and fulfilling one,” Ellenstein said. “Seeing people have that experience makes me really happy that we’re doing a good job and a good thing.” Committed to promoting theater arts, North Coast Repertory Theatre produces seven main stage productions each season. The nonprofit organization also offers a holiday show, offnight events and a theater school. “I like to say we’re not a community theater; we’re a theater for the community,” Ellenstein said. “We create the best possible thing,

“My Name Is Asher Lev”

drawing from the best local talent and the best national talent.” A longtime actor and director, Ellenstein directs three of the theater’s plays each season. The 56-year-old also acts in at least one play every year. “I still love being a director and I still love being an actor. I’ll always love that,” said Ellenstein, who lives with his wife and two sons in Carlsbad. “If I ever stop being an artistic director, I’d still act and I’d still direct.” Born into a theatrical family, Ellenstein is a veteran of more than 200 theatri-

cal productions. He has been on the stage since he was 4 and began working as a paid actor by 17. “I grew up in it,” said Ellenstein, who is the son of the late Robert Ellenstein, a well-known actor, director and artistic director. “At 4 years old, I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to do what my dad was doing. He was having so much fun doing it; that’s what I wanted to do.” Although his film and television credits include more than three dozen roles, Ellenstein has always enjoyed theater more than film and television.

“Really, what I much prefer is the life,” said Ellenstein, who noted Hamlet has been his favorite role. He’s played the title character in three different productions at three different venues. “When you’re working in the theater, you spend your time doing what you love. When you’re working in film or TV, you spend your time looking for the jobs.” Before joining North Coast Repertory Theatre in January 2003, Ellenstein simultaneously served as artistic director for the Los Angeles Repertory Company, which his father co-found-

ed, and the Arizona Jewish Theatre Company. When the curtains close on Aug. 11 for the comedy “Perfect Wedding,” it will mark the end of North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 31st season and Ellenstein’s 10th anniversary. Already planning the 33rd season, Ellenstein is looking forward to next season’s lineup. “I’ve got seven really great plays that people may not have seen before,” Ellenstein said. “I’ve got two musicals, two plays that involve history, three comedies, one dark play, one intellectual play, two San Diego premiers and two other world premiers. “It’s really going to be an eye-opening season for people because they’re going to be seeing a bunch of stuff that they’re not familiar with — it’s really good stuff!” When Ellenstein became artistic director 10 years ago, two of his three goals were to establish North Coast Repertory Theatre as a professional-grade operation, and join the Actors’ Equity Association, which promotes fair pay, working conditions and benefits for actors and stage managers. Ellenstein achieved these goals within his first two years at the theater, but still has a goal to build a new home for the organization, which is currently housed in a 194-seat venue at Lomas Santa Fe Shopping Plaza. Ellenstein said North Coast Repertory Theatre has “a very attractive offer” to build a new theater on the property from American Assets Inc., which owns the shopping center. Until enough funds are raised, however, Ellenstein said he will continue to push the theater forward artistically. And while North Coast Repertory Theatre attracts roughly 50,000 people per season, Ellenstein wants to raise its visibility in the local community. “So many people in this community have heard of North Coast Rep and have never been here,” Ellenstein said. “I just ask them to come try it once. “We’re the best kept secret to some of the people that live around here.” To learn more about North Coast Repertory Theatre, visit www.northcoastrep.org.

‘AmateurPianists’ organization promotes the joy of music, live performances BY KRISTINA HOUCK From graphic designers to teachers, the diverse members of AmateurPianists have one thing in common: their love of music. Based in North San Diego County, AmateurPianists is a membership organization for amateur pianists of all professions who want to perform in front of a live audience. Local resident Monique Kunewalder helped the group reserve the recital hall for its recent fundraising concert at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. “I will do anything to promote music and the joys of playing music,” said Kunewalder, who plays piano and sings in the choir at the church. The 78-year-old has been a member of the group since it launched in 2011. A former piano music page-turner for La Jolla Chamber Music Society, Kunewalder is pleased to have a forum for amateur pianists of all ages. “Many people have heard me play, but I don’t care. I care to promote,” Kunewalder said. “I care to endorse and encourage young people to play music, and I try to give them an opportunity to perform. “We want to enjoy playing music. It’s a great activity to be involved in.” More than 330 amateur pianists have joined the group since it launched two years ago. Membership is free. AmateurPianists has held a number of performances at a variety of venues, including recital halls, churches, public libraries and private residences. The group also offers lectures and master classes on performance practice, the history of classical music and more. “We’re pianists who spend hours and hours learning a piece, but we don’t have people to play for except our own friends and family,” said Glenn Kramer, founder and board chair of AmateurPianists. “The whole purpose is to provide members opportunities to perform live in front of audiences like the professionals do.” In addition to providing performance opportunities, Kramer said AmateurPianists enables local musicians to network and become better performers. “We all love to play piano, and we’re all very supportive of each other,” said Kramer, a graphic designer who performs at business receptions, weddings and other special events. “You can really feel that warm energy when you attend a recital. Everybody is rooting for each other.” With membership continuing to grow, Kramer hopes to organize an international amateur piano competition next year in San Diego to bring even more amateur pianists together. “The organization is flying fast forward,” Kunewalder said. “Glenn’s idea to have an amateur piano competition is also something very special. I think it’s wonderful that Glenn is interested in doing something in San Diego that is necessary and will be highly appreciated.” For more information about AmateurPianists, visit amateurpianists.org.

Kettle Corn battles to victory It was a three-way battle down the stretch to the finish between Kettle Corn, Paynter and Batti Man in the Grade II $200,000 San Diego Handicap on July 27 at Del Mar, with Kettle Corn (outside) prevailing by a half-length at the end. The popular Paynter (middle), who was returning to stakes competition for the first time since his life-threatening battles with colitis and laminitis last year, was second, while Batti Man (inside) came in third. Kettle Corn, ridden by Victor Espinoza, completed the 1 1/16 miles on the Polytrack in 1:41.83, and will run next in the Grade I $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Aug. 25. The 6-year-old horse is owned by CRK Stable and trained by John Sadler. Photo/Kelley Carlson

Miss Cougar Del Mar The Del Mar racetrack crowned its fifth Miss Cougar Del Mar on July 26: Debra Olson from Eureka, Calif. Olson was chosen by a panel of judges from five finalists and 12 total nominees. She presented the trophy to Joe Talamo — the winner of the Cougar II Handicap (right) — in the Winner’s Circle. Judges included Marlo Jordan from MissCougarLife.com; Mighty 1090 and U-T TV personality Scott Kaplan; and Billy Koch, general manager of Little Red Feather Racing. The Miss Cougar Del Mar contest is named for the Cougar II Handicap - Del Mar’s longest stakes race. Women at least 35 years of age were encouraged to submit their best cougar photo with a one-sentence explanation as to why they should be crowned Miss Cougar Del Mar 2013; third parties were also allowed to nominate their cougar friends. Online voting determined the five finalists, and a panel of local celebrity judges selected the winner.

West Steak & Seafood features farm-to-table freshness BY KELLEY CARLSON rom locally-grown ingredients to globally-inspired cooking techniques, West Steak & Seafood aims to offer the best of both worlds through its cuisine. Owned by Gary and Mary West of Rancho Santa Fe, the restaurant provides a farm-totable experience with produce selected daily by Executive Chef Eugenio Martignago from his nearby three-acre property. “Food sources, freshness and destination farming are becoming more important to people,” Martignago said in a news release. “Increasingly, guests are asking more questions about local sourcing to determine its quality and freshness.” West Farm — less than four miles away — flourishes with edibles such as heirloom tomatoes, zucchinis and bell peppers, and is nurturing trees that will eventually boast peaches, apples, oranges and other fruits. With such produce on hand, Martignago and Chef de Cuisine David DiSalvo are constantly concocting new dishes and keeping up with the latest cooking trends from chefs in Los Angeles, New York and other culinary capitals. Martignago’s style blends traditional Italian and French influences from his days growing up on a farm in Italy. DiSalvo, a graduate of The French Culinary Institute in New York City, has a more contemporary

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week’s recipe:

West Steak and Seafood’s Heirloom Tomato Carpaccio with Hamachi approach. “Together, we make a pretty good match,” Martignago said. And the duo collaborates to offer a sizable menu for West guests. Customers can get a taste of the restaurant’s seafood selection through the Sea Bass Ceviche, Salmon Tartare and Ahi Poke appetizer, which is served with toast points, wasabi aioli, pickled ginger and mini-vegetable crudités. Or there’s the unique Uni Tagliolini and Caviar, which features buttery house-made pasta served in a spiky sea-urchin shell.

The entrees run the gamut, from the vegetarian English Pea and Carrot Ravioli to Skuna Bay Salmon and Wagyu beef imported from locations such as Japan and Australia. One popular combination is the Filet and Maine Lobster: eight ounces of a broiled Angus-beef tenderloin in a port balsamic demi-glace and a butter-poached, six-ounce Maine lobster tail in beurre blanc. The dish is presented with sides of sweet potato au gratin, French beans, baby carrots and cipollini agrodolce. If everything sounds delicious and it’s difficult to make a decision, a three-course sampling menu is available each evening, which consists of the chefs’ favorites. Those who are adventurous can opt for “A Night with Chef,” a six- to seven-course meal of chops, steak, fish and pasta, created around freshly picked ingredients from West Farm. Martignago presides over the Tuesday menu, while DiSalvo selects the Thursday dishes — each incorporates his own cooking style and personality into the fare. To participate in “A Night with Chef,” 72-hours notice is required and it must be prepaid. Another special menu at West Steak and Seafood is the slow-cooked Sunday Supper. Guests begin the meal with either Corn Chowder with crispy bacon, cheddar cheese

and fresh basil; or the West Mixed Greens Salad with roasted tomatoes, Gorgonzola cheese, balsamic vinaigrette and tossed with caramelized walnuts. For the entree, there’s an herb-crusted Prime Rib garnished with au jus and horseradish cream, or Petite Filet Mignon, charbroiled to one’s preferences. And patrons can select two sides: creamed spinach, portabella fig balsamic mushrooms, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, mac & cheese, ratatouille or truffle french fries. “Growing up in northern Italy, it was a family tradition to gather and enjoy a meal that had been slowly cooked all day,” Martignago said. “I wanted to re-create that experience for our guests and continue the tradition.” The cost of Sunday Supper is $36 per person. In addition, West Steak and Seafood hosts wine dinners about four times annually; the next featured winery will be Cakebread Cellars on Sept. 24. All of these dining experiences are held in an elegant setting. Reddish-orange lights cast a soft glow from wooden beams high above, and candles flicker on tables draped in white cloth. Lights that emphasize the stained-glass windows slowly change color — deep shades of pink and purple, reds and blues — the intimate booths are lit by blue fiber-optic lighting panels.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

George Athan leads the team creating Audi fans BY KATHY DAY When George Athan III graduated from the University of Southern California in 1994, he took a job selling cars in Kansas City, figuring it would be a good summer job. Now, nearly 20 years later, he’s still in the business as an equity owner and general manager of Audi San Diego. After six years at a Toyota dealership in Kansas City, where he met his wife, he said he decided to head west again, taking a job with AutoNation. He began at its dealership in Cerritos before moving to AutoNation locations in Phoenix, Las Vegas and the Orange County. His success caught the attention of Kuni Automotive Group when the Vancouver, Wash., firm purchased Pioneer Centers’ three San Diego dealerships – Audi, Porsche and Land Rover — and two in Denver in December 2011. Moving to San Diego was an easy decision, he said, since he spent his early years in Oceanside where his parents went to high school. He got his first taste of car sales when his dad worked at Team Nissan in Encinitas. His new role as an operating partner gives him the ability to manage as he sees fit for the local market, which stretches from Highway 56 to the border and east to Palm Springs. When Kuni assumed ownership, Audi San Diego was the 94th largest Audi dealership of the 250 in the country; in 2012, it jumped to 39th largest, with 100 percent growth in sales, he said. An interesting point he raised: 20 percent of people buy a car on their first visit to the dealership. Athan and the other new Kuni dealers focused on growing the “import highline” market, which in San Diego is a large percentage of registered owners as a percent of the population. “We want people to drive cars they like,” he said. In Audis, the variety is great – and growing with July’s introduction of diesels in the A6, A7, A8, Q5 and A3. “The diesel is a home run,” Athan said, noting that

George Athan III, equity owner and general manager of Audi San Diego.

Audi chose to go with a clean diesel versus a hybrid model. “These aren’t the diesels of the past. You could start one up here in the showroom and not even know it.” Customer service is Athan’s – and Audi’s — byword. Saturday service and later weekday hours were added after Kuni took ownership. Athan also added a fleet of 95 Audis that customers can use while their cars are in the shop instead of rental cars. They even have a concierge service to pick up a customer’s car and leave a loaner, and a technician on call overnight, who can go out to assist a client in need. Audi San Diego was a sponsor of the recent In Concert for Cancer aboard the USS Midway Museum and is involved with two upcoming events for wounded warriors. And Del Norte and Cathedral Catholic high schools have also been beneficiaries of Audi’s involvement. Athan said he just worked out a deal that has the world’s No. 8-ranked pro surfer, Josh Kerr, as a brand ambassador, and signed a deal with Saint Archer Brewing Co., which opened in May not far from Audi San Diego’s Miramar Road location. Audi also provides cars to the Lodge at Torrey Pines for guests and has Audi magazines in the rooms. The local ties – and “steering toward a younger demographic,” as Athan puts it — are indications of how marketing cars has changed and will continue to change as dealers recognize the power of the Internet. “Our virtual lot gets more looks than our brick-andmortar lot,” he said. With full disclosure on prices and availability now immediately accessible, it is simplifying the negotiating process, Athan noted. It’s all a part of what the carmaker calls “creating Audi fans.” —Audi San Diego, 9010 Miramar Road, San Diego, 92126. Sales: (866) 980-4112. Service: (866) 981-2165. Parts: (866) 980-3423.

Inaugural paddleboard race to honor late local lifeguard BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach lifeguards will catch waves in memory of one of their own during the inaugural Iron Mike Paddle Aug. 10 at Fletcher Cove. The four-mile paddleboard race and surfing festival is in honor of late Solana Beach lifeguard Mike McKay, who died when he was 23 in an avalanche at Mountain High Ski Resort in January 2008. “Mike was a natural leader who led by example,” said Solana Beach Marine Safety Sgt. Greg Uruburu, an Encinitas resident who worked with McKay. “He was a genuine guy and really wanted to see people succeed and be happy in life.” A longtime resident of Wrightwood, Calif., McKay was an emergency medical technician, lead ski patroller and lifeguard. He was pursuing his master’s degree in psychology at National University in La Jolla at the time of his death. Always outdoors, McKay was an avid soccer player, surfer, hiker, mountain bike rider, rock climber and skier. Uruburu said he couldn’t think of a better way to honor and remember his friend than an event like the Iron Mike Paddle. “We have his lifeguard family honoring him with an ocean going race, a board swap to promote sustainability and recycling, and family, friends and community uniting to celebrate someone who truly cared about all the things just mentioned,” Uruburu said. Although McKay was only a Solana Beach lifeguard for one season, he made an impact on the department and was honored in 2007 as the “Rookie of the Year,” Uruburu said. Recipients of the annual award, now called the “Mountain Mike Rookie of the Year” in memory of McKay, receive a $500 scholarship from the Mike McKay Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit established by McKay’s family. Proceeds

from Iron Mike Paddle will benefit the foundation, which awards roughly $3,500 in scholarships each year. “All of our scholarships tend to be a pat on the back from Mike — that’s the way we look at it,” said McKay’s father, Vince McKay. “It’s a nice way of remembering him.” Organized by the Solana Beach Lifeguard Association and Rerip, a nonprofit that supports recycling old surfboards, Iron Mike Paddle will feature art, live music and a surfboard swap along with eco-friendly vendors.

In addition to McKay’s fellow lifeguards, his family and friends, including his Labrador retriever, Daisy, will gather from 8:30 a.m.1:30 p.m. on Aug. 10 at Fletcher Cove Park in Solana Beach to celebrate his life. “It’s five years after his death, and they still remember Mike and honor his memory by doing this,” Vince McKay said. “That’s a testament to the respect that they had for him and their friendship.” McKay’s mother, Laura McKay, added, “Mike just loved this group of guys. They clicked. To have them do this in honor of Mike is really incredible.” For more information about Iron Mike Paddle, which is open to all ages, visit rerip.com. To register for the paddleboard race, contact Uruburu at 858-3531394 or guruburu@cosb.org. To learn more about the Mike McKay Memorial Foundation, visit mikemckaymemorial.org.

MAURO

P E RUC CHE T T I

MADISON GALLERY is pleased to present London- based artist Mauro Perucchetti with his solo exhibition: “The Power of Love”

Born in Milan in 1949, Perucchetti has come to his art from a background in design, architecture, and extensive travel. Mauro Perucchetti matches social critique with Pop aesthetics in his art, and his work demonstrates his astonishing skill, style, and wit. A pop artist for the 21st century, Mauro incorporates familiar icons of today’s culture. Both a master craftsman and a social commentator with his ﬁnger on the pulse of contemporary society, Mauro produces innovative and beautifully executed work with a message. His experiments with resins put him at the cutting edge of contemporary art and he is one of very few artists confronting some of the most fundamental issues of our day. Perucchetti’s use of quotidian objects refers back to the artists of the 60’s; to Warhol’s Brillo Boxes and Jasper Johns Targets and Beer Cans. His work shifts away from the commercialism of Pop Art, employing a process that is more oblique; moving the object from a functional role into that of a work of art. In this way he also has links back to the commodity artists of the 80’s such as Jeff Koons. At the same time the sparseness of form and the repetition of modular elements in his work seen especially in his abstract piece “Nothing Stands Still”, places him ﬁrmly in the tradition of minimalist sculpture with an emphasis on the symbolic value of objects.

EXHIBITION: August 24, 2013 through September 24, 2013

OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, August 24, 2013 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

UNICUM - In his new body of artwork, Perucchetti has manipulated his staple resin material resulting in new, sculptural ways of displaying his art. These sculptures are individual testaments to the medium from which they are formed – matchless in their chemical composition, form, color, texture, and size. Yet together, they exemplify a serious achievement for the artist, cementing his place within the canon of Contemporary Art. “A celebration of color, form, and technique, elements which are present in all art, UNICUM has a very unique ﬁngerprint.” – Mauro Perucchetti

Perucchetti’s work also parallels with the Young British Artist, Damien Hirst, in the way he uses common objects to such dramatic effect. Hirst’s fascination with component parts, pills, butterﬂy wings, and cigarettes, systemically arranged in neat patterns are echoed in Perucchetti’s use of rows of brightly colored pills and apples. Perucchetti responds to the bright attractive side of Hirst’s work, its formal rhythms and vibrant colors and, more obliquely, to its darker streak. As with Hirst, an ironic sense of humor runs through his work, but while his humor seems lighter it avoids their destructive, gritty, visceral element by deliberately maintaining impeccable aesthetics and a sense of clinical order that belies something colder and impenetrable. The late 1960’s saw artists rejecting the restrictions of canvas and conventional sculptural practices and have since come to work with a huge variety of media but Perucchetti’s use of polyurethane resins is pioneering. It has taken him years of experimenting to get to the stage where he can make this volatile liquid stable enough to use on such a large scale. Resin has an innate instability and is even more difﬁcult to control when foreign materials are bedded within it. Like prehistoric insects captured in the sticky ooze of the amber resin that killed them while preserving them, Perucchetti entraps his objects for all time.

The Rush Indoor Cycling Studio opening in Carmel Valley Aug. 10 BY KAREN BILLING In a darkened studio where the only light is a few candles and glow-in-the-dark shoes spinning fast on a cycle, music vibrates loudly and instructor Lindsay Birtcil is motivating a room full of riders up an imaginary incline. The climb would seem endless without the drumming beat of the music and Birtcil’s energetic encouragement to keep pushing. This is The Rush Indoor Cycling Studio in Birdrock, a new fitness facility that is coming to Carmel Valley’s Torrey Corner center on Aug. 10. The Rush specializes in providing challenging workouts with “top notch” instructors in a non-intimidating (hence the darkness), boutique studio environment. “Every single class will be the best class you’ve ever taken,” said co-founder Corey Spangler. Spangler opened The Rush with business partner Tim Suski, who has been his best friend for over 14 years, dating back to high school in the Pasadena area. “We have a long history and it makes running a business together more fun. We find the humor in things, we both have strengths and weaknesses, and when we come together we make a perfect team,” Spangler said. They had always wanted to be entrepreneurs and run their own business but after graduating from college, Suski got a job in sales and Spangler worked for an insurance company in risk management. Although Spangler loved his job, it could be very stressful. As a way to de-stress, he started taking spin classes about four times a week. “In that one-hour class I would burn 1,000 calories, I sweat more in that class compared to running or weight lifting and it was actually fun with the music,” Spangler said. “The instructor’s enthusiasm brought me to a new level. Leaving there I would have an endorphin high, it would almost re-start my day.” Thinking out loud with Suski, he pitched the idea of a boutique fitness studio that just did cycling, similar to New York’s Soul Cycle. They met up, hashing out their business plan over coffees, scribbling in notebooks. The two were committed and moved forward, found the funding and opened the La Jolla studio on Jan. 29, 2012. “I’m very happy we did it,” Spangler said. “It’s a lot of fun, working in the fitness industry and building this brand

The Rush Studio, opening in Carmel Valley Aug. 10, was founded by friends Corey Spangler and Tim Suski. Courtesy photo has been awesome. I think it’s been really well received and we want to continue to grow. We’re moving so fast because we just want to be ‘It’. We want everybody to know about us.” From the very beginning they knew they wanted to open three studios and they were lucky that Birdrock did so well. “The reason we want to go to Carmel Valley is because it is just the perfect clientele. Our whole vision is to go into affluent communities where people are very fit,” Spangler said. The studio uses high-end Keiser M3+ bikes – the “Ferrari of spin bikes” — with a lever instead of a knob to control the resistance. Each bike has a mini-computer which charts and displays resistance levels, RPMs (Revolutions Per Minute), calories burned, and can sync up to one’s heart rate monitor. The bikes accommodate clip-in shoes and Spangler said they really push using the clip-in shoes for a rental fee of $1—“it just makes such a huge difference for the ride, it’s much safer and more efficient and you’re able to burn more calories.” The atmosphere of the studio is designed to be spa-like and class instructors are hand-picked to be the very best in

skill and personality. “People won’t come back if you don’t have great instructors,” Spangler said. “Our current team is just awesome, we got really lucky.” As part of The Rush brand, the lights are off during class. “We want the studio to be a very non-intimidating place,” Spangler said, noting beginners don’t have to feel nervous about what they look like. “Dimming the lights gives people a private space but when you look up you can get inspired by the class because there’s a lot of energy and you’re close together. The energy in the room elevates our abilities.” Once the music is cranked, it’s a “party on the bike” atmosphere and everyone can adjust to their own level; their mantra is that they don’t leave any rider behind. Classes are 45 minutes to an hour long and scheduled throughout the day — the earliest class offered during the week is at 5:45 a.m. and the latest scheduled is 7 p.m. The early morning classes tend to be a little more technical, Spangler said, with a lot of triathletes taking advantage. “Not everyone wants to hear Katy Perry blaring at 5:45 a.m.,” he said. Spangler said they have learned a lot from Birdrock, where classes often sell out. Carmel Valley’s studio will have nearly double the number of bikes of Birdrock with 44 to a studio. They will also have a full slate of classes, 10 more classes a week than Birdrock. For its opening, The Rush will offer free classes from Aug. 10 through Aug. 18. The weekend of Aug. 17-18, The Rush is partnering with Searsucker, Suja Juice, Nika Water, and Sculpt Fusion Yoga for its opening celebration festivities. Packages for The Rush run from one class drop-ins to one month unlimited passes. The introduction package comes with a one week unlimited pass and free shoe rental. The VIP package includes six months membership and a free pair of Shimano cycling shoes and a free bottle of Nika water for each ride. Learn more at therushstudio.com. The Rush in Carmel Valley is located at 11130 East Ocean Air Dr., San Diego, CA 92130. The Rush in La Jolla is located at 5628 La Jolla Blvd, La Jolla, CA 92037; (858) 255-8457.

Kids Korps Summer Volunteer Camps an invaluable experience BY LINDSEY LOY The Kids Korps La Colonia Volunteer Camps 2013 were an incredible success this summer. There were two camp sessions, one held in June and one in July, with a record number of participating campers and counselors. Between the two weeks, we volunteer at six different community organizations. At the San Diego Food Bank, counselors and campers sorted over 3,000 pounds of food for local distribution to the food insecure. We made cupcakes and decorated signs for the families of the patients at the Ronald McDonald House. The San Diego Military Outreach Ministries hosted us, where we assembled food bags and blankets for needy military families. At the Senior Community Center in San Diego the kids spent time with the seniors, decorating birdhouses with them and serving their lunch. Through San Diego Coast Keepers, we did beach several clean-ups at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. The North County Community Gardens had us mulching, watering, and harvesting vegetables in their community garden. Lastly, we visited the therapy dogs at Paws’itive Teams, learning the special tricks that they can do when they visit patients or veter-

ans. The camp also had smaller scale projects held on our own camp site. Some of these projects included decorating quilt patches for quilts given to veterans though Soldier’s Angels, making seed balls for canyon restoration through San Diego Canyon Lands, and creating blankets for foster children. We also made sandwiches and bag lunches for the Bread of Life soup kitchen in Oceanside and learned CPR from Rancho Santa Fe Fire Department representatives. The camp allowed our campers and counselors to give back to many different facets of San Diego. While the time and helping hands donated to the different organizations was outstanding, it really is the camp itself that is special. The camp is a special experience because it gets kids excited to volunteer. The enthusiasm that campers typically bring to summer camp is applied to our volunteer projects and with our teen leaders as counselors; campers have great role models leading them in community service. As a result, the impact of the camp on the kids is invaluable, getting them to understand the importance of and excited about helping others. The energy and enthusiasm of kids and teenagers is a powerful force when engaged in giving back to the community. Thank you so much to The John and Mary Rainsford Charitable Foundation, The Carol and Kent Landsberg Foundation, Santa Fe Christian Schools, Macys Corporate Services Inc., and the City of Solana Beach for your generosity, we wouldn’t be able to do our volunteer camps without you.

CCA student to hold summer concert ‘Building with Energy’ to raise funds to build home for a Tijuana family Building a home for a family in Tijuana is the dream of local student Kirsten Chaplin. To help reach her goal, the Canyon Crest Academy sophomore is organizing a summer concert, “Building with Energy,” on Aug. 24, at 6 p.m., featuring local San Diego musicians, The Lovebirds and Dawn Mitschele. The event will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. Providing a home for a family in need has been a goal for Kirsten since learning of a friend’s Bat Mitzvah project through Casas De Luz. Kirsten recently took part in building a community center in Tijuana, which inspired her even

more to take on her own project. Kirsten was particularly amazed at the sense of community in the area and the obvious impact that it has made to those who have benefited from having a safe and sturdy home. Now she is hard at work to make the summer concert and a home a reality. Kirsten is working closely with Casas de Luz, a nonprofit social action project currently based out of

the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito (UUFSD) in Solana Beach. The organization is dedicated to transforming individuals, families and communities on both sides of the San Diego/Tijuana border, and creating self-sustaining change through youth em-

powerment, cross-cultural relationships, leadership development, and environmental sustainability. The recently-completed community center was the brainchild of the recipient of a home in Tijuana, who is working to improve the lives of the community through providing a breakfast club and a safe place for children to do their homework. Come and enjoy a magical night of music on Aug. 24 featuring The Lovebirds and Dawn Mitschele and help make Kirsten’s dream a reality. The Lovebirds are a folk/pop duo featuring award-winning San Diego songwriters Lindsay White and Veronica May. Their sound is complemented by that of Dawn Mitschele, best known for her angelic vocals and smooth acoustic style. They will provide a fun and inspiring way of spending a summer evening in the beautiful setting of UUFSD in Solana Beach. The summer concert will be held on Aug. 24 at 6 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m., concert begins at 7 p.m.) at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito, 1036 Solana Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Tickets are $25 and include dessert. If you are unable to make it please show your support for this great cause by making a donation.

This is an incredible accomplishment.” “It is such an honor to be recognized by Prudential California Realty and The Wall Street Journal. I am very proud of my team and all that we have accomplished together,” says Brizolis. “This would not have been possible without the dedication of the incredible clients we’ve worked with in the Rancho Santa Fe community and surrounding areas.” With more than 3,200 sales associates located in 62 offices across Southern California and the Central Coast, Prudential California Realty is one of the top five brokerages in the nation.
