RSF Patrol reports burglaries down in area BY KAREN BILLING Burglaries are down in the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, according to the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol’s semi-annual report. Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser reported that there have only been four burglaries in the past six months, the majority of which were construction site thefts. Since there were close to 18 burglaries in 2014, Wellhouser said he hopes the downward trend continues throughout the rest of the year. According to the report, traffic collisions were up compared with the first six months of last year, with 17 collisions. There was a fatal accident in May on Via de la Valle, and Patrol officers assisted in saving a life after an accident on June 24. At 8:44 p.m. that evening, a rollover crash on El Camino Real near Calle Familia left a passenger trapped inside the burning vehicle. Two Rancho Santa Fe Patrol officers were able to help to put out the flames until the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District and other fire agencies arrived and safely extricated the driver. Wellhouser said the RSF Association’s supplemental California Highway Patrol (CHP) enforcement has foSee BURGLARIES, page 28

Rancho Librado backers tout benefits, but some opponents remain unmoved BY JOE TASH Backers of a plan to build 54 age-restricted homes on a 28-acre property at Calzada del Bosque and Via de la Valle hosted a presentation Thursday, Aug. 6, at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club including wine and hors d’oeuvres, but they failed to persuade some neighbors, who remain staunchly opposed to the project. The project proposed by Rancho Santa Fe resident Laura Mabee Boswell and her family — dubbed Rancho Librado — would include 50 “casitas” ranging in size from 3,200 to 4,800 square feet, as well as four custom homes of about 6,500 square feet. Mabee and former Rancho Santa Fe Association Manager Pete Smith, who has been hired by the Mabee family to help shepherd
the project through the county and Association approvals process, told the audience of about 100 that the development would provide an option for Ranch residents or family members who want to remain in or move to the community, but who don’t want the responsibility of maintaining a large property. “There’s a saying that you can do anything in the Ranch but grow old,” Boswell said. “I for one would like to help change that.” But some neighbors of the property, including Saiid Zarrabian, contend the project is out of character with the surrounding community, with its estate lots ranging from 2.5 to 15 acres. They are also concerned that if the county allows the general plan amendment See LIBRADO, page 28
Going for the green: RSF Association hopes painting timed parking spots boosts business BY KAREN BILLING The village of Rancho Santa Fe will soon have more green curbs, as the RSF Association board approved an additional 42 two-hour timed parking spaces at its Aug. 6 meeting. The aim of the new spaces is to increase visits to village retail and restaurants and ease potential customers’ frustration in having to endlessly circle to find a spot. The Association’s recommendation will now be forwarded to San Diego County to modify the parking ordinances and receive approval from the County Board of Supervisors. It will probably be 90 days before the green paint hits the ground.
The Rancho Santa Fe Association approved 42 new two-hour parking spaces, marked by green-painted curbs, in the village. Photo by Karen Billing RSF Association Planner Larry Roberts met with village merchants in July to hear concerns about the lack of parking in the village. Merchants said there is not enough parking to sustain any kind of retail, and their

Rancho Santa Fe Association Board Biz: A public thank you to the members of your board BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD We had a busy, productive and valuable week as the RSF Association board held its regular monthly meeting on Aug. 6 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and its annual Strategic Planning Meeting on Aug. 7 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. That’s a great deal of time for a group of volunteers. I would like to thank our board members publicly for their dedication. It’s important to note that those 13 hours are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what each board member contributes to your Association. Our board members’ commitment is even more impressive when you consider that all seven board members have had business careers, five currently run their own business, and one is CEO of five children. In addition, all have families, hobbies and philanthropic interests that could fill their free time, if they had any to spare. Please join me in
Ann Boon thanking them for contributing their most precious resource — their time — whenever you see them. In addition to board meetings and duties, our board members are also assigned to liaise with one or more Association committees, which is an additional commitment of time, energy and contribution. As the number of committees and projects has expanded over the past three years, board members’ duties have grown as well. Board committee liaison positions for the 201516 term were approved at our August board meeting and are: Finance Committee — Kim Eggleston, chair as RSFA Treasurer
Compensation Committee — Kim Eggleston, Philip Wilkinson, and Jerry Yahr (committee of three board members) Covenant Design Review Committee — Fred Wasserman Osuna Committee — Jerry Yahr Trails and Recreation — Philip Wilkinson Committee for the Natural Environment — Fred Wasserman Technology Infrastructure Committee — Kim Eggleston, Mike Licosati, Philip Wilkinson. Project leadership assignments are as follows: Broadband — Philip Wilkinson and Kim Eggleston Cell Phone Reception — Philip Wilkinson and Mike Licosati CDRC Process and Guidelines Review — Fred Wasserman Covenant Club — Heather Slosar (membership,) Jerry Yahr (design) and Mike Licosati (finance) Village Planning Task Force — Ann Boon and
Mike Licosati Governing Documents — Fred Wasserman. At Friday’s Strategic Planning meeting, we brought one another up to speed on ongoing projects and committees. The all-day meeting provided a venue to provide briefings, share strategies and offer valuable input on our many activities and efforts. In turn, we will provide you with detailed updates on each project at our regular board meetings. We also discussed several new initiatives being shepherded by our staff. Each member of our Association staff has important duties, and perhaps the most exciting activities will be led by our new Communications Manager, Christy Whalen. Christy has responsibility for creating a powerfully updated website and for enhancing member communications through various vehicles. She will also be lending her expertise to the Village Revitalization Team, which is part of the Village Planning project. Every board member ar-
rived fully prepared and ready to work. Some provided formal presentations. All listened intently, asked critical questions and offered thoughtful insights on each topic. I was humbled by how much work each and every board member has been dedicating to Association business over the past few months. I am honored to call myself their colleague. The intense and productive Strategic Planning meeting was made more pleasant because we met at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club and enjoyed a wonderful lunch prepared by Chef Brian Freerkson. If you haven’t had lunch recently at the RSF Golf Club, I highly recommend it. The menu is excellent, and the views over our course are gorgeous. All Covenant members have the privilege of dining at the club restaurant, even if they are not Golf Club members. Treat yourself to lunch, dinner or special holiday events at the Golf Club and enjoy the benefits
of Covenant living. The members of the Golf Club pay for the upkeep of the course and the buildings with their dues under an agreement with the Association. As an HOA in California, we operate under the Davis Stirling laws, which consider the club and course “common area,” that must be accessible to all homeowners. So you may use the restaurant any time. If you are not a frequent golfer but think you might want to play a few times a year, there are special packages you may take advantage of as a homeowner. You may buy a six- or 12-round package of golf without purchasing a full golf membership. Call the Association office for more information at 858-756-1174. I encourage you to enjoy the club. Have lunch and watch the golfers. Take in the sunset and shadows playing across the fairways over dinner. You may become inspired to pick up a set of clubs and perhaps become a Golf Club member. ann.boon@me.com

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - AUGUST 13, 2015 - PAGE A3
$275K Covenant Club architect contract approved for planning phase BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved a $275,000 architectural contract for the Covenant Club at its Aug. 6 meeting as the potential pool and fitness center facility moves through a professional planning phase. RSF Association Manager Bill Overton said the contract can be canceled at any time and has very specific phases. “I think it’s an excellent document to protect the Association’s interests,” Overton said. Several residents came to the Aug. 5 finance committee meeting asking members not to approve the contract. Resident Bill Johnson returned to the Association’s meeting on Aug. 6 to reiterate his concerns. “We are concerned that the contract moves very far on the path toward a large Covenant Club on this site or nothing. Some prefer nothing,” Johnson said, likening the board’s action to putting all their eggs in one cart and then putting the cart before the horse. Johnson said he hoped that the feasibility study would provide some alternatives to a potential 17,000-square-foot facility on the golf club campus. Preliminary plans place the facility between the RSF Golf Club’s player’s clubhouse and the RSF Tennis Club. Johnson said it is too soon to approve a $275,000 architectural contract when there are many critical feasibility questions that remain unanswered regarding the site. He said parking is a problem, a recent geological study has not been done and there has yet to be a study of the water underneath the club. He said it seems like the large facility is being “shoehorned” into the golf club campus and it is not a compatible use. “It should be located elsewhere,” he said. “With the approval of the contract today, you’re narrowing the options. The money is being spent on just one vision without investigating a smaller alternative or an alternative location.” In the 2014 advisory vote, 762 members voted for the planning phase and 713 voted against it. The board opted to bring spending $350,000 on the professional planning phase to a community-wide vote, although they weren’t re-

quired to do so. They chose to do so in the spirit of transparency. “The costs are required in order to answer those questions you’ve asked,” said Director Jerry Yahr, the design committee chair for the Covenant Club. “We can’t solve the questions without understanding what’s the right program.” Yahr said the committee is analyzing whether a 15,000-square-foot or 17,000-square- foot facility will work, and the architectural contract will help with the size of the facility and the parking required, as well as what will be possible on the site. “These questions will be answered. It’s a process. This contract allows us to answer those questions,” Yahr said. Yahr said the committee is committed to following the schedule it outlined in April at a town hall meeting — that at the end of the program and site analysis, members would come back to the community with another informational town hall, likely to be at the end of August or mid-September. A vote on whether to build the Covenant Club would probably come in early 2016. “We’re not deviating from what we said to this community. We will offer periodic updates, ending with the full package that the community can get their arms around, and then they will have the opportunity to vote,” Yahr said. “The cost to get us there is $350,000 and that’s the path we are on. You all need to let this process follow through.” Yahr said he appreciates the community’s input and passion, but the committee has been tasked with delivering a consensus plan and the contract is a way to deliver that plan and make sure the Association is protected. RSF Association President Ann Boon said that Yahr was not a random selection to chair the design committee, as he has years of experience managing projects like this one. Boon said Yahr has “gone beyond the call of duty” to ensure the promises to the community will not be violated and that the process remains inclusive and transparent. Resident Pat Newmark said she was sorry that the issue has faced such adversity within the community. “We know we voted for the feasibility study, but we just want to make sure the big picture is kept in mind and not

all the money is spent on one spot,” Newmark said, adding that she was pleased to hear that the contract will have built-in “stops.” “That reassures us that the process is following the good path.”
RSF Association reports revenues up BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board reflected on a positive fiscal year at its Aug. 6 meeting, a year in which the accounting and financial departments and Association banking relationships underwent a complete overhaul. According to Don May, Association controller/CPA, the Association’s total revenue for 2014-15 was $17.6 million, up $572,000 over the prior year. Overall expenses only increased $33,000 to $14 million, leaving a $3.4 million surplus. The surplus does include the one-time rebate of $1.6 million from the Metropolitan Water District for the golf club turf replacement project. “This is a good indication of the solid ground the Association is on in terms of financing,” said board member Fred Wasserman. Assessment revenue increased $296,000 or 5.4 percent, which May said is a reflection of increased property values and sales. One resident in attendance inquired about the status of the Community Enhancement Fund. As a member, the contribution to fund is 18 percent of the total assessment bill. Two cents of the 14-cents-per-$100 assessed valuation goes into the fund, which comes to close to $1 million a year. This year, $1.1 million went into the fund, which has a balance of $6,850,000. Two projects drawing from the fund are the Covenant Club feasibility study and the broadband consultant contract to find solutions for a fiber-optic network in Rancho Santa Fe.

Water-saving mandate from Gov. Brown for area unnecessary, says local activist • Financial analyst urges irrigation district to fight order, says county has plenty of water in pipeline BY KAREN BILLING Solana Beach resident Don Billings wants to change the message being sent to consumers regarding California’s drought. At a community water talk held at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club on Aug. 7, Billings said residents have been asked to cut water use, lose their lawns and choose between taking a shower or saving a tree — all because of a mandate from Gov. Jerry Brown that he believes to be “arbitrary and capricious” and not based on evidence or fact. “There is a drought in California, but there is no water supply shortage in San Diego,” Billings said. He said residents are being hurt now by these restrictions and they should act, contacting the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) board and asking them to consider suing the state as the city of Riverside did over water-saving drought rules. Riverside has argued that it has been unfairly ordered to cut water use by 28 percent, even though it has adequate supplies and does not rely on imported water. Billings said SFID could make the same argument, that San Diego is actually a model city for preparedness, distribution and developing an independent supply. And for the short-term, Billings said he wants residents to voice their opposition to the electronic signs posted around Rancho Santa Fe spreading what he contends is a false message about the shortage and ruining the community’s reputation. “Take those signs out, those signs have got to go,” Billings said. Rancho Santa Fe resident Rick Nicholas organized the community water talk, which was attended by about 25 people. Billings, a financial analyst and consultant for Promontory Financial Group, shared his insight from having served two four-year terms on the city of San Diego’s Independent Rates Oversight Committee. Billings referred back to April, when Gov. Brown delivered his mandatory order to cut water use by 25 percent in front of a dry Sierra slope to build a public case for his emergency declaration. Billings said the cuts were based on 2013 consumption and were “one size fits all,” not based on region-by-region findings of shortage or surplus. “If Brown came to the Carlsbad Desalination Plant or the city of San Diego’s water recSee WATER, page 28
RSF Association board overrules finance committee, appoints Kaiser BY KAREN BILLING On Aug. 6, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board voted unanimously to appoint Alex Kaiser to an open seat on the finance committee. The board’s decision to support Kaiser was in conflict with the finance committee’s recommendation as the board members said they sought to bring more diversity to the committee. The finance committee interviewed two candidates for the position: Philippe Charat and Alex Kaiser. The committee voted 4-1 in favor of appointing Charat, and Treasurer Kim Eggleston represented the one vote for Kaiser. Eggleston said he voted for Kaiser because he’s a member and past president of the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Cub and is actively involved in business. Eggleston said Kaiser owns a small business lending company and analyzing finances is what he does every day, making him an ideal fit for the committee. “I’m a big proponent of Alex,” Director Mike Licosati said, echoing Eggleston’s endorsement. Licosati said Kaiser is a 13-year resident of Rancho Santa Fe, a father of four who has been very involved on the Association’s broadband committee and volunteered to serve on the Association board, although he was not selected as a nominee. “The finance committee includes five golf club members currently, which is not representative of the community,” Licosati said. “Seventy-five percent of the community doesn’t belong to the golf club … we want more diverse views.”
He said there is a large group of people in the community who are like Kaiser — who have children and jobs and may not always have time to attend meetings and volunteer. “I think it’s very important not to disenfranchise those members,” Licosati said. Some residents in the audience objected to the board’s decision to overrule the committee’s recommendation. One resident questioned why the finance committee even voted if it would not be considered. The resident also said it seemed unfair that no one got to speak on behalf of Charat’s qualifications. Eggleston said the interview portion was very brief, and the resumes the board received were truncated. He said he thought Charat was selected over Kaiser because Kaiser mentioned resigning from the Big Brothers Big Sisters board to focus on other issues, and the committee looked upon that negatively. Residents also had concerns that Kaiser has been a strong proponent of the Covenant Club, but Eggleston assured people that the finance committee is “apolitical.” Director Fred Wasserman, whose departure from the finance committee created the open seat, said both candidates were very good and that Charat has an extremely successful business record. “Alex does provide some balance to the finance committee, representing an age group that has not been represented,” Wasserman said.

Scripps Encinitas seeks sponsors for Healing Arts Collection pieces • Public invited to preview, underwrite artwork at Aug. 27 event: ‘Art has a healing aspect to it’
Rendering of a tile mosaic for the Scripps Encinitas Healing Arts Collection. Courtesy photo Scripps Encinitas. “When I was younger, I didn’t care about hospitals or medical care. You’re invincible. You’re never going to die. As you get a little older, you realize health care actually is important. “I’m glad to be involved then and I’m glad to be involved now.” By sponsoring a signature piece of the Healing Arts Collection, donors will support the addition of new, inspiring artwork for the hospital as well as its expansion efforts. Sponsorship for each piece begins at $25,000. Solana Beach artist Christie Beniston specializes in creating art for public spaces, such as her large-scale mosaics and sculptures along Highway 101 and at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, Flower Hill Promenade and Rady Children’s Hospital. She also designed a fountain mosaic at Scripps Encinitas. Listed at $200,000, Beniston’s proposed piece for Scripps Encinitas is another fountain mosaic called “Endless Knot.” The abstract pattern weaves in and out of a diagonal “knot,” representing continuity, longevity and resilience, she said. “All throughout my career, but especially at this point, it’s been really important for me to create work with meaning,” said Beniston, who has lived in Solana Beach since 1995. “Public art changes the space and the way you feel about the space that you’re in. I think in a healing environment, it’s so important to create those areas where you can just be and reflect.” Encinitas artist Deanne Sabeck creates sculptural installations of light, using glass that is bent, cast and sometimes etched with text or imagery. Already funded for $50,000, Sabeck’s glass and steel sculpture will feature an infinity See ARTS, page 28

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The days of the white-walled hospital are long gone, as research has shown art can help patients and families in the healing process. Looking to bring more color to the hospital and raise funds for expansion efforts, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas is inviting the community to view renderings of artwork and sponsor the pieces on Aug. 27, during the Healing Arts Collection at Scripps Encinitas, held at Make in Carlsbad. Once completed, the art pieces will be displayed in family waiting areas and corridors at the Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion at Scripps Encinitas. “Any kind of stress that our patients experience is not good,” said Dr. Randall Goskowicz, anesthesiologist and medical director of the operating room at Scripps Encinitas. “All of these works will be from artists that are concentrating on local themes. That’s going to enhance people’s sense of comfort when they come into this facility.” From carvings and paintings to mosaics and sculptures, the collection includes 29 original installations showcasing images of nature and serenity that are reflective of North San Diego County scenery. “When you’re in the hospital, you’re usually under a lot of stress, whether you’re a patient, family or friend,” said Encinitas philanthropist Paul Ecke III. “Art has a healing aspect to it. There’s already artwork at Scripps Encinitas, but this would bring a whole bunch more. Artwork is a positive for the hospital and the hospital grounds.” Ecke has a long history of giving back to Encinitas and the greater San Diego region. He became actively involved with the campaign for Scripps Encinitas about five years ago, championing fundraising efforts to support the construction of what is now known as the Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion. Opened in 2014, the critical-care building includes a new 26-bed emergency department and inpatient rooms at Scripps Encinitas. The 72,321-square-foot Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion is the centerpiece of the hospital’s $94 million second phase of expansion, which also includes a new central energy plant, new medical imaging technology and various infrastructure improvements on and around the medical campus. After a close friend of Ecke’s had a heart attack and was treated at Scripps Encinitas, Ecke remained involved in the hospital’s fundraising, now with an even clearer purpose in mind. “Those are the kind of things that open up your eyes,” said Ecke, who serves on the community advisory board and the kitchen cabinet of the community advisory board at

Foundation, wounded Marine honor military with Freedom Bell in D.C. BY JOE TASH Representatives of a local organization dedicated to supporting past, present and future members of the U.S. military traveled to Washington, D.C. in July to take part in a ceremony honoring veterans of the Korean War. The locally-based Spirit of Liberty Foundation was represented during events at the Korean War Memorial on the National Mall by founder Richard Rovsek, former U.S. Marine Sgt. Kaleb Weakley, and Daniel Rakers, who handles public relations for the nonprofit. Weakley, who was wounded in combat in Afghanistan in 2012, assisted veterans and passers-by as they rang the Freedom Bell, a smaller version of the Liberty Bell that was commissioned by the foundation two years ago. Participants can ring the bell in honor of specific service members, or for other personal reasons. “It’s a humbling experience to hear people from all over … the only thing they want to ring it for is for freedom, or for our armed forces,” said Weakley, 25, a San Diego resident. “People tell me they want to ring it for freedom or America or our President. When they ring it, it’s for a cause and to Left photo: Spirit of Liberty Foundation founder Richard Rovsek and Maj. Gen.

EVERYBODY NEEDS A HOME “While expecting our first child, my husband and I decided to leave the beach to settle in Rancho Santa Fe. Janet became instrumental in our search; her knowledge of the Ranch is only surpassed by her eagerness to serve her clients. Personable and fair, Janet went above and beyond for our family, showing an uncanny ability to think outside of the box and to get things done.”

Local artist Jan Trabin finds beauty inside the ordinary BY DIANE Y. WELCH Wearing an apron and surrounded by industrial-engineered tools in her workshop retreat in rural Encinitas, Jan Trabin continues to find — and create — beauty in the discarded everyday materials that she has collected over the decades. Most recently, Trabin was juried into the Art Walk NTC at Liberty Station that takes place during the weekend of Aug. 15-16, along with just four other North County artists. Trabin’s daughter, Lisa Flores, will join her. The two artists find joy in repurposing the prosaic and have exhibited their artworks together for many years. In the 1960s, when Flores was a child, Trabin took several of her daughter’s childhood drawings and applied them to her own collages, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that evoked an innocence. These pieces were published at the time in Better Homes and Garden magazine and appeared in an article published in the Los Angeles Times. Flores also worked for her mother’s Los Angeles-based showroom — JTA (Jan Trabin Associates) — which Trabin founded in 1980. “We have spent all of our lives sharing artwork,” Trabin remarked. Trabin studied art at Long Beach City College from 1956-1960, then graduated from UCLA’s art department with a degree in fine art, followed by working as an interior designer. Her Los Angeles-based high-caliber clients included such notables as entertainer and movie star Olivia NewtonJan Trabin has worked with art for her entire career.

Riders are practicing at San Pasqual Valley Ranch for the upcoming team penning competition for Teens, Jeans and Dreams. This is an exciting event that will be held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on Saturday, Sept. 12, at 5 p.m. Funds raised support the current foster students and former graduates of San Pasqual Academy.
Local riders to support ‘Teens, Jeans and Dreams’ equestrian event Sept. 12 Don’t miss an evening of excitement and thrills on Saturday, Sept. 12, 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 to benefit the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy. Chairpersons for “Teens, Jeans and Dreams” are Patty and Marc Brutten. Committee members include Lois Jones, Karen Ventura, Teri Summerhays, Roblee Valentine, Kathy Lathrum, Andrea Reynolds, Heidi Hollen, Mary Beth Oblon, Gregor Connors, Kelly Wislar, Pia Jensen, Crosby Bennett, Kasey Bennett, Jenn Marun, Carole Markstein, Ken Markstein, Gina Daley, George Scott, Joanie Spence, Debby Syverson and Joan Scott. Sponsors of Teens, Jeans, and Dreams are Ken and Carole Markstein, Markstein Beverage, Art and Catherine Nicholas, Bill and Donna Herrick, Roblee Valentine and The Ranch EQ, Marc and Patty Brutten, Julie Klaus, Paul Ecke, Coleen Freeman and Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry, Buck and Kay Bennett, EZ Cars 101 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. 12 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. 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.

5 smart back-to-school tips for parents Ogilvy & Mather creates strategic TO YOUR HEALTH: BY MARK SHALAUTA, MD For many San Diego County students, summer break is coming to an end. If you’re a parent with school-age kids, now is a great time to make sure they are ready to go back to the classroom. The following tips can help your family prepare for a safe, healthy start to the school year. 1. Schedule a check-up. Before school is back in session, schedule a physical exam for your child, especially if he or she plays sports. Discuss any concerns you have about your child’s health, such as nutrition or weight problems. It’s a good idea to let your child have time alone with the doctor to talk about personal matters and ask questions that they may not feel comfortable bringing up with a parent in the room. Also, make sure your child’s school has updated medical records that include any current conditions such as diabetes, asthma or allergies, as well as special dietary needs and medications. The school also should have contact information for your child’s pediatrician or family physician. 2. Make sure immunizations are up to date. In California, children are required to receive certain immunizations in order to attend public and private elementary and secondary schools, child care centers and other educational programs. You may be required to show an immunization record before your child is admitted. Talk to your child’s physician about any coming changes in vaccination or immunization requirements. A new law that is scheduled to go into effect in 2016 eliminates personal and religious belief exemptions for vaccines. The law allows an exemption for children who have a medical reason to remain unvaccinated (such as an immune system disorder) and requires parents to provide a doctor’s note recommending against vaccination. Vaccination requirements vary by age. Immunizations required to attend kindergarten include: •Polio • DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis or whooping cough) •MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) •Hepatitis B •Varicella (chicken pox) The varicella vaccine is recommended at ages 1 and 5. All students entering seventh grade will also need proof of an adolescent pertussis (whooping cough) booster immunization (Tdap) in order to begin school. Although not a requirement for middle or high school, the meningitis vaccine is recommended at ages 11 and 16. This will help protect your child after high school as well, when they are also at high risk. Finally, we also recommend the Gardasil vaccine series at age 11 for prevention of several types of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus)-related cancers. While we understand that many parents feel 11 is too young to be concerned about the HPV virus, it’s important to understand that the vaccine is most effective if all doses are given long before any potential exposure. The vaccine will not eradicate disease in someone who has already been exposed and infected. Talk to your child’s physician about any vaccine concerns you may have. 3. Get back on schedule. Summer break often means staying up later and sleeping in. In order to help kids transition back to a school schedule, have them start going to bed and waking up at times more in sync with the school calendar. This can be especially helpful
partnership with RSF resident’s company
Mark Shalauta, MD for teens, whose natural circadian rhythms make them more prone to being night owls than early birds. 4. Pack lightly. Along with shoes and clothes, kids can outgrow their backpacks. A backpack that is worn out, doesn’t fit correctly or is just too heavy can strain a child’s neck or back and may cause injury. Check straps for signs of wear and tear, and adjust the fit of the backpack to accommodate body changes. If it’s time for a new one, choose a lightweight backpack with two wide, well-padded shoulder straps, a padded back and a waist strap. The pack should fit snugly against the child’s back but not pull on the shoulders. Evenly distribute books and other contents on both sides of the pack, and aim to keep its weight below 20 percent of your child’s. 5. Don’t overdo activities. Extra-curricular activities like sports and clubs can be great ways for kids to socialize and learn new skills, but be careful not to overdo it. Too many after-school obligations can make it difficult to fit in other activities such as homework, family time and rest. This can create stress and anxiety, and affect both academic performance and health. Also, remember that
Ogilvy & Mather North America, one of the largest marketing communications companies in the world, recently announced a strategic partnership with HundredX, an award-winning technology company that provides enterprise-level, people-driven diagnostic solutions. This partnership introduces a unique solution for Ogilvy & Mather’s clients to receive and activate insightful data that will help business leaders make informed decisions about their products and services — and ultimately, increase bottom line performance. Over the past 50 years, the U.S. economy has undergone a major transformation — shifting focus to human capital and the hiring of highly talented individuals to usher in a new era of innovation, invention and consumer connection. According to the Temkin Group’s annual “State of Customer Experience” report, even a modest improvement in customer experience can result in an approximate 37 percent increase in revenue over three years. Employees have become the most sought-after and competitive assets that companies have. As a result, companies seek new ways to attract, retain and incentivize employees in order to remain competitive — which is a $49 billion business in itself. “Our clients recognize the shifting focus to human capital and the need for
Rob Pace next-generation consumer and associate connection solutions,” said John Seifert, chairman and CEO of Ogilvy & Mather North America. “Our partnership with HundredX is just the latest example of how our company will continue to innovate in order to meet the changing needs of our clients.” Founded by Rancho Santa Fe resident Rob Pace, a former Goldman Sachs Partner and National Advisory Board Chairman of the Salvation Army, HundredX provides Express Feedback solutions for enterprise that are highly customizable and can be integrated into existing apps, websites, or as stand-alone solutions. With these solutions, businesses have the opportunity to use consumer feedback and recognition to improve products and services as well as strengthen customer connection, employee retention and organizational cultures. The company’s consumer-focused Expresit app (formerly the
Goodsnitch app) uses Express Feedback technology and provides a free solution for cities, nonprofits and small businesses. A 2015 study commissioned by HundredX found that a majority of Americans (86 percent) believe that companies should regularly do more to publicly recognize individual employees for good work. This underscores a new opportunity that businesses have to use digital consumer feedback to not only strengthen the customer connection, but also create a positive framework for talent management. “Turnover is now estimated at 21 percent of wage cost, so the stakes are very, very high,” commented Seifert. “At HundredX, we seek to multiply positive outcomes. It is hard to overstate the potential of emerging fast and real-time customerand associate-sourced feedback in terms of accurate diagnostics and corporate cultural benefits,” added Rob Pace. “We have invented a unique way to source and organize this information. Our partnership with Ogilvy will integrate, activate and scale our technology in transformational ways for their clients. We believe the future lies at three key intersections — human and digital, customer and associate and doing business with a purpose.” For information, visit http://www.ogilvy.com, or follow Ogilvy on Twitter at @Ogilvy and on Facebook. com/Ogilvy.

BY RANDI CRAWFORD I’ve tried really hard, all week, to find a good rant to write about that didn’t include the words “Cecil” or “Walter Palmer.” But this one is unavoidable. For those of you who want to tell me that I wouldn’t even know about Cecil, and all the other endangered animals that are murdered in their own environment, if it weren’t for the media, you are correct. Everything I rant about comes from stories that are in the news. There are so many injustices in the world, but this one royally pissed me off because it’s so unnecessary. Cave men killed because they had to. They used every single part of the animal for survival. If you need to feel satisfaction in Africa, go climb Mount Kilimanjaro! My father is a hunter. But there is a huge difference between hunting (eating what you kill), and “trophy hunting.” I used to hunt with my father. He hunted for dove and quail (birds), and deer. Once the animals were shot, they were cleaned and eaten. I’ll never forget sitting with my father for hours one Saturday morning when I was 15 years old. We dressed in camouflage and sat in a tree house, waiting to see a buck. The second I spotted those antlers, I instinctively made a loud noise to scare it off and my father was too shocked to scold me. We had been waiting for nearly four hours in the wee hours of the morning, and this was his one chance. But for some reason, this was very different from
TIPS
shooting birds, and I wanted no part of it. I couldn’t sit back and watch that beautiful buck get shot. So when I initially heard all the stories about Cecil the lion, I felt awful. Then, a few days went by and I started to feel badly for the dentist, Walter Palmer, because it became a public shaming and witch-hunt for the man, and that turned me off. But recently, I was in a debate with friends, and they asked me how I define killing Cecil the lion, versus killing cows, chickens, and fish. There is no comparison. We eat meat, chicken and fish. If we eat what we kill, it’s not the same thing. So then they asked me, “What’s the difference when the exterminator comes and kills mice and rats, since we don’t eat them?” No, we don’t eat the mice and rats, but this is not the same argument. They kept pushing me to explain how I define some killing to be OK, and other killing completely unacceptable. It’s just like when my kids go fly-fishing with my father in Colorado. They catch a fish and immediately throw it back in the river because they don’t like to eat fish, but they enjoy fly-fishing. They don’t catch the fish, throw it on land,
watch it die, and then hang it on the wall. There is a naturally occurring cycle of life, and in the wild, animals kill each other to stay alive. I don’t enjoy watching that either, but it’s necessary for survival. When you kill an animal simply to hang on your wall, it isn’t about survival; it’s about your ego. I went back to my computer to do some research. And the images that I found made me sick. I felt elated that Walter Palmer has been publicly shamed and wondered how his equally disturbing wife, Tonette, was let off the hook. After all, she provides the money for these expeditions, is also a “trophy hunter,” and furnishes her home with the skins and heads of these exotic animals as well. On the heels of Walter Palmer are pictures all over twitter of Sabrina Corgatelli. She is a “trophy hunter” who has several posts with dead animals, including a giraffe wrapped around her legs. She said, “Everybody just thinks we’re cold-hearted killers, and it’s not that. Giraffes are very dangerous animals. They could hurt you seriously very quickly.” Last time I checked, there hadn’t been any giraffe killings. They eat plants, bushes and shrubs — not humans. Is she for real? Why would anyone post numerous pictures on social media, bragging about the majestic animals they’ve killed unless they need to point out what a huge nobody they really are? What say you?

Step-down housing, senior housing addressed in Village Master Plan Ten years ago, I helped work on the Village Master Plan for Rancho Santa Fe. Reviewing our current document, you will find some very interesting comments about our Village. One that I would like to point out is under the heading of Senior Housing: “Although limited in number, the smaller sized Village residences are also important in that they provide an opportunity for covenant members who are ready to ‘step-down’ from the responsibility of maintaining larger estate-sized lots but still wish to remain within the community. Not only are the smaller residences easier to maintain, but they are also located in proximity to the senior center, market, post office, and other services and amenities. “After considering several options for providing senior (aka ‘step-down’) housing on larger parcels in other parts of the Covenant, the Association’s Planning Committee has recognized the role that Village housing plays, and has identified the Village as the preferred location for Covenant senior housing.” Additionally, under Village Density, the following is stated: “To provide for a variety of housing choices, including senior housing, and to enhance the vitality of the Village by increasing usage of its range of goods, services and amenities, the Planning Committee has identified additional areas adjacent to the Village, particularly to the southwest, where density increases should be encouraged and supported. Toward this end, the County, at the Association’s request, is proposing to rezone the commercially designated areas of the Village with a C-5 ‘mixed use’ zoning designation. “Additionally the Association has proposed a “Village Limit Line” that establishes where future mixed use projects and higher densities are desirable (Exhibit 5). Support for future re-zonings (Covenant Modifications) in these areas, if approved, will facilitate the goals of adding to the inventory additional housing types, including senior housing, casitas and condos, as well as the opportunity to expand the Village’s mixed-use character. To ensure that these goals are consistent with the County of San Diego objectives, the concepts of the ‘Village Limit Line’ and increased Village density need to be included within the San Dieguito Community Plan as a part of the County’s General Plan Amendment (GP 2020).” The Village Limit Line was created to show the walking distance that would provide a safe and convenient walking time to get to the Village center, from any point in both the residential and commercial portions of the Village area. All of these issues need to be considered for projects proposed for Rancho Santa Fe, especially those requesting changes in density, step-down or senior housing. There is currently a well-thought-out plan in place that addresses all these issues and a location that is desirable, convenient and clearly designated in the Village Master Plan. Marion B. Dodson

Chopra will join ing in 2014. She is expanding Guarneri, president of the Academy of Integrative Health integrative health care into and Medicine, as the keynote speaker for “People, Planet, large systems, including the Purpose,� the academy’s annual global conference for U.S. Veterans Health Admin- health care professionals, from Oct. 25-29 at Paradise istration, by teaching hospital Point Resort & Spa in San Diego. Courtesy photo staff at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. Locally, at Guarneri Integrative Health at Pacific Pearl La Jolla, she created a membership model combining MDs with naturopathic doctors (NDs) and internal medicine, cardiology and psychology. It features a comprehensive assessment with an MD/ND team and has acupuncture, healing touch, massage, bodywork, hypnotherapy and skin-care providers. What brought you to this area? I came to La Jolla in 1994 to train in interventional cardiology. Stents were pioneered by Scripps cardiologists Paul Teirstein, MD, and Richard Schatz, MD, and I came as a Fellow to work with them for a year. I found La Jolla a revelation after winters in New York and
knew I’d stay here. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? An instant change would be wonderful. I recognized the need for a more comprehensive, holistic approach to cardiovascular disease and opened the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine 16 years ago. My wish would be to fully transform the way medicine is practiced to be more pro-active, focusing on body, mind and spirit with prevention as the foundation. La Jolla would be a national model for optimal health and community wellness. Who or what inspires you? Visionaries inspire me, of which La Jolla has many, such as Martha Longnecker-Roth and Ellen Browning Scripps — people who identify a challenge and seek effective solutions to make our world a better place. What are your favorite kinds of books and movies? I am reading “Reading Lolita in Tehran� by Azar Nafisi. I was an English major and am an avid reader. My favorites are true, inspirational stories that bring out the best in human nature and speak to the power of the human spirit. Recent favorite movies are “McFarland, USA� and “The Hundred-Foot Journey.� If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? My dinner party theme would be Spirituality and Health, and guests would include His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama; Mahatma Gandhi; Jesus; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Sri Narayani Amma; Dr. Deepak Chopra; Dr. Wayne Dyer and Paramahansa Yogananda. What is it that you most dislike? I am deeply saddened by intolerance. What is your most prized possession? My most prized possessions are my relationships, my health and my spiritual life. What do you do for fun? For me, fun is traveling, hiking and spending time at WindanSea Beach. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Do unto others as your would have them do unto you. What would be your dream vacation? My dream vacation would be traveling the world and studying spiritual sites and traditions.

sought by the Mabee family, it would pave the way for other higher-density development. As of Monday, he said, 899 people had signed an online petition opposing the project. Zarrabian said in an interview after the presentation that he had searched far and wide for a community such as Rancho Santa Fe, which is close to the ocean and urban centers, but also has a rural ambiance. “These guys are talking about changing it,” Zarrabian said. “It starts at the edges and creeps in.” During the presentation, which took about two hours, including a question-and-answer session, Boswell, Smith and planner Ali Shapouri detailed what they say are the project’s benefits. Along with meeting a “long-established need,” the project’s backers said it will provide $213,000 in additional revenue each year to the Association, and $150,000 per year to the Rancho Santa Fe School District. The project would also provide open space, trails and allow more than 110 Covenant homes to hook up to the community’s sewer system, according to the presentation. The Rancho Santa Fe Covenant is governed by rules established by both the Association and the county of San Diego. According to Smith and Shapouri, the project is allowed by Association zoning, but an amendment to the county’s general plan would be needed to make it dovetail with the Association’s zoning. Under the existing county general plan, minimum two-acre lot sizes would be allowed on the Mabee property, for a total of 14 homes. Smith sought to dispel rumors, such as that project proponents are trying to side-step the Association’s rules. “There is no back door,” he said. Following a multiyear approval process at the county and Association levels, he said, the project’s backers favor a community vote on the proposal. “We believe that’s an important thing to have happen,” Smith said. Zarrabian disputed that the Association’s zoning allows the project, contending that in their presentation, the project’s backers left out language that says projects must meet county requirements as well as Covenant rules. “The county trumps the homeowners association,” he said. He and other project opponents believe that if the county grants the requested general plan amendment, it will be more difficult to turn down future requests. “That’s what happens. It’s that first one we think is opening the floodgate,” he said. Smith said the Mabee family wants to put the facts about the project on the table and allow the community to make its decision after weighing the pros and cons.

cused more time on parking enforcement at the request of village retailers, and over the past few weeks has received positive feedback. Wellhouser said that while the CHP has overtime units working on parking enforcement, the CHP does want to balance the officers’ service with other life and safety issues throughout the community, such as speeding enforcement. In the first six months of 2015, Wellhouser said the Patrol completed 15,000 security and vacation checks. He encouraged residents to contact the RSF Patrol if they are going out of town — vacation check forms are available on the website at rsfpatrol.blogspot.com. For the RSF Patrol dispatch, people can call 858-756-4372.
PARKING
continued from page 1
at the end of the year. The majority are real estate offices and bank spaces. Roberts said they looked at making all of the central village streets two-hour timed parking zones but that would result in the displacement of 87 cars. “All 87 cars will end up in other areas. All that would do is push the problem from one spot to another,” Roberts said. The solution Association staff came up with was displacing just some of the cars by adding two-hour spaces in the high-priority areas along Avenida de Acacias, 19 spaces in front of Thyme and Milles Fleur restaurants and Union Bank, 15 spaces on La Granada, and an additional eight spaces on the stretch of La Granada near John Matty Co. and Rancho Santa Fe Flowers & Gifts. Director Philip Wilkinson asked about different lengths of time for the timed parking, such as one-hour zones or 15-minute zones to allow just enough time for people to run in and get their dry cleaning, for example. RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said in his 35-year history with Rancho Santa Fe, a concern of a mix of parking spaces has been the amount of signage that would be needed to accompany them. Historically, people have not wanted the village to be cluttered with signs. He also said the mix of time limits also poses a challenge for enforcement — Rancho Santa Fe doesn’t have full-time paid parking enforcement officers like the city of Del Mar. Enforcement of these timed spaces is always a big concern. “It truly doesn’t matter what you put on the curb if there is no one there to enforce it,” Treasurer Kim Eggleston said. The Rancho Santa Fe Patrol is not authorized to write parking tickets — that is left to the Association’s supplemental enforcement provided by the California Highway Patrol. “Matt has been working with the CHP’s supplemental patrols to focus a little bit more on enforcement, and the feedback we’ve received from merchants is that it’s had an impact,” said RSF Association President Ann Boon. Boon said the board realizes that this step of painting the curbs is only a short-term solution and is only one piece of a long-term parking plan that the new Village Planning Task Force will be considering. “We’re just trying to help our merchants as much as we can, and this just happens to be the tool that we have at hand,” Boon said. Ideally, as village landlord Marion Dodson pointed out, there needs to be a place for employee parking, as those are the cars that tend to fill up the village spots. She said she was glad to see the Association approve the new timed spaces at least as a short-term solution for a significant problem.
WATER

lamation facilities, he wouldn’t have been able to tell that story,” Billings said. “This community is not the origin of the drought in California, and it can’t be the solution to the drought. Even if we tear out every blade of grass in Rancho Santa Fe, it would not add a gallon of supply to Northern California.” Billings said the perception is that there’s a single tub of water in California in which every region sticks its straw. But in San Diego, there are different pots of water. After the last major drought, Billings said the county invested $3.5 billion to diversify water sources and become water secure. When the desalination plant is running, expected in the next 60 to 90 days, the largest plant in the Western hemisphere will produce 50 million to 60 million gallons a day, Billings said. The city is reconfiguring reclaimed-water plants to produce potable reusable water, starting at 30 million gallons a day and ramping up to 90 million a day, representing 40 percent of the city’s water supply, according to Billings. Water transfers from the Colorado River will provide 180,000 acre-feet to the San Diego region this year, and the El Nino weather system has passed the point of weakening, Billings said. He added that weather forecasters are predicting above-average precipitation throughout the Southwest, the states that feed the river. Also, San Vicente Dam is up 50,000 acre-feet of water when typically in the summer months the water is drawing down, according to Billings. “There are a lot of investments in place and in progress that are putting us in the position to be truly water secure and independent,” he said. Despite these efforts to gain reliable water supplies, residents are still being forced to cut water use, Billing said. “Why are water agencies hiring water police to tell us what days we can use water and how we can use our water?” he asked. “And even if we do cut back, they are going to raise our rates by 40 percent.” He said the water agencies say they have to do this because the governor says so, but there is a question of legality with the government’s actions. They say if they don’t cut back, they could be fined $10,000 a day, which would amount to $3.6 million
ARTS symbol “signifying the infinite wisdom and connection of the mind, body and soul to heal itself.” “I firmly believe that art has a lot of power in helping people keep a positive attitude, which is really important for any kind of trauma or healing,” said Sabeck, a 25-year Encinitas resident, who has previously installed art at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. “The mind-body connection is really significant when dealing with health issues.” With the event just weeks away, doctors, nurses and staff are also getting involved. Goskowicz, who has been an anesthesiologist at Scripps Encinitas since 1999, has participated in the hospital’s philanthropic efforts for years. He also helped raise funds for the critical-care building. “Now that we’re raising money for the operating room, which is nearer and dearer to my heart, it’s an obvious choice to be involved,” he said. Goskowicz’s medical group, Anesthesia Service Medical Group, is sponsoring one of
a year when SFID sells $20 million a year. Billings said they need to “break the psychology,” and he encouraged residents to talk to the board members, ask them to file a lawsuit and get rid of those signs. The next SFID meeting will be held at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 20. When some of these issues were raised by Billings in a previous story by reporter Joe Tash for this newspaper, Michael Hogan, president of the Santa Fe Irrigation District board and a member of the San Diego County Water Authority board, said San Diego County water agencies have invested in many different projects to enhance the local water supply. As a result, San Diego County can now provide for 30 percent of its annual water needs, compared with 5 percent in the past. The percentage will continue to increase, he said, but the county still imports most of its water. “The truth of the matter is that, looking out beyond one year, with regard to available supplies, they’re greatly threatened in the following years,” Hogan said. “We have to manage this from a multi-year approach. Conserving now under the governor’s mandate allows us the opportunity to manage our water supplies more effectively; that will reduce more severe cutbacks in the following years … and have the least impact on residents and businesses and ultimately on the economy.” Water agencies have embraced technology, either adopting or studying a number of options, from water-efficient devices for homes, to recycling wastewater, which can be treated, blended with water in reservoirs, and then purified for household use, he said. “That’s what the (county) water authority and member agencies have been doing already, and there’s been a lot of progress,” Hogan said. “This doesn’t happen overnight.” He rejected calls for the district to ignore the state mandates. “That’s not an acceptable approach with the current board of directors, and I know of no agency that’s taking that approach,” Hogan said. “It would be contrary to my duties as a sworn public official to not make every effort possible to comply with the directives from the state. “It’s a crisis, and I think people need to realize that,” he said. continued from page 6
the paintings, which will be displayed near the operating room. “We are a community hospital. This is our place,” said Goskowicz, a Carmel Valley resident whose children and parents have been treated at the hospital. “My goal has always been to not lose that close community-feel to our facility, while at the same time, enhance our capabilities.” The event will take place from 5-8 p.m. Aug. 27 at the Make office campus, formerly the Floral Trade Center, at 5600 Avenida Encinas in Carlsbad. Registration is required for the event. “This is a way for people to get involved,” Ecke said. “People don’t always think about hospitals and emergency care. But when you need the medical services of your local hospital, which for me and many of my neighbors is Scripps Encinitas, that’s the only thing that matters. That’s why I’m passionate about it. I don’t ever want to go there as a patient, but boy, am I glad that they’ve got great facilities and great staff.” To RSVP, call 760-633-7772 or visit www.scrippshealingarts.com/rsvp.

Oh, brother! It’s a comedy of errors when long-lost twins reunite at The Old Globe
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER The Old Globe’s Summer Shakespeare Festival 2015 continues with the Aug. 16 opening of “The Comedy of Errors.” Scott Ellis directs the fabulous farce, which is Shakespeare’s shortest play, written in 1594. In it, two sets of identical twins who were accidentally separated at birth are about to embark on a zany adventure. Antipholus of Syracuse (Glenn Howerton) and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse (Rory O’Malley) each have twin brothers they cannot find. As they travel to Ephesus, things become very strange — because there dwell their twin brothers. When they’re seen in town, mistaken identities fuel disasters! Actor, writer and producer Glenn Howerton (Antipholus of Ephesus, Antipholus of Syracuse), stars as Dennis Reynolds on the FX comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” which he Glenn Howerton is Antipholus of Ephesus and Antiphoco-created, writes and pro- lus of Syracuse, while Rory O’Malley plays Dromio of duces. He also starred in FX’s Ephesus and Dromio of Syracuse in “The Comedy of ErEmmy- and Golden Globe rors.” Photo courtesy of Jim Cox Award-winning drama “Fargo,” appeared in Fox’s second season of “The Mindy Project,” many films, and the premiere of “The Credeaux Canvas” at Playwrights Horizons.
“My background is theater, but I spent years in film and TV,” Howerton said. “I missed the stage, and when I did a reading of ‘As You Like It,’ I was overwhelmed with being back on stage performing live — and more specifically — with Shakespeare. “I auditioned for Scott Ellis right out of college. I wanted this role because Scott studied Shakespeare, but never directed it. He wasn’t bringing any preconceived notions about how Shakespeare should be played to the rehearsal process, so I knew it would be really fresh.” Rory O’Malley (Dromio of Ephesus, Dromio of Syracuse) received Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations for Broadway’s “The Book of Mormon.” He also starred in Broadway’s “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” “Little Miss Sunshine,” and several TV shows. “I love this play, this part, and the chance to work with Scott Ellis again,” O’Malley said. “He’s an awesome director. When I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, I auditioned for several plays at The Old Globe, but never got any roles. I’m excited to finally be here. I enjoy Balboa Park and its gardens.” The challenge for the actors is playing two different characters who look exactly alike. “What’s difficult is that I would love to create two distinctly different characters,” Howerton said, “but the entire play is predicated on everyone mistaking each brother for the other brother, so I have to make subtle choices that draw distinctions between them.” O’Malley added, “I’ve played multiple roles before, but usually you have completely different costumes and looks to help create those characters. Here, it’s up to me to create a difference in these two men. Maybe they sound a little different, walk differently or have different relationships with their masters.” Howerton and O’Malley agree they have a great chemistry together, but each has a different favorite scene in the show. “Mine is the first scene, where we meet Antipholus of Ephesus,” Howerton said. “He’s just been locked out of his house by his wife, who thinks he’s lying about who he is because his brother is inside having dinner with his family. It’s really funny.” O’Malley offered, “My favorite is where I’m telling my master that the kitchen wench at this house where we just showed up says I’m betrothed to her. She’s chasing me, and I have no idea who she is. It gets to be really crazy.” Both actors agree this production will appeal to a wide audience. Said Howerton, “As Shakespeare, it’s less complicated than a lot of his plays. It’s much more of a physical play. There’s not a lot of the flowery language. It’s great fun and silly.” Said O’Malley, “It’s 90 minutes of nonstop laughs and a wonderful way to end a summer day — outdoors in a great theater.” “The Comedy of Errors,” runs through Sept. 20 at the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

Sweet success: Nothing Bundt Cakes franchiser opening seventh store in PHR BY KAREN BILLING For the past nine years, Mara Fortin’s life has been Nothing Bundt Cakes. As she prepares to open her seventh bakery in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch in October, Fortin reflects on years of baked goodness, of hard work swirled with fun and a whole lot of cream cheese frosting. Fortin was the first-ever franchisee for the brand in 2007, and the Pacific Highlands Ranch bakery will be the 188th location nationwide. Fortin owns the most franchises in the company, including her small shop in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade. (The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch is located between Interstate 5 and State Route 56 at Old Carmel Valley Road and Del Mar Heights Road, across the street from Canyon Crest Academy and near Cathedral Catholic High School.) “I think this bakery will do very well because there are a lot of young families moving in here and there is a lot of new development,” said Fortin, who is buying a home in Pacific Highlands Ranch neighborhood. “This
is all our demographic — I couldn’t pick a better fit for what we offer.” Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz founded Nothing Bundt Cakes in 1998 in Las Vegas, where Fortin was living at the time and working a very busy life as a medical malpractice attorney. The “ridiculous hours” were taking a toll and as she was preparing an argument in front of the Supreme Court of Nevada with a 2-month-old at home, she decided she had hit the breaking point. A native San Diegan, Fortin began crafting a recipe for a new life, drawing on her undergraduate degree in business. “I started thinking about this really great bakery I loved that had an amazing buttercream frosting,” Fortin said. “Would they let me take the idea to San Diego?” After about a year of working with the founders, she opened her first bakery in Poway in 2007. “I was completely starting over — I walked away from my career cold turkey,” Fortin said. “The first couple of years were really scary — it was a tough transition and
Mara Fortin, above left, will open her seventh Nothing Bundt Cake location in the Village of Pacific Highlands Ranch. “I love talking to people and hearing how much the cakes (have) made a difference in their lives,” she says. Courtesy photos I had a lot of anxiety. I was raising two young children and starting a business, and people would ask me, ‘Bundt cakes? You know you’re in healthy San Diego, right?’ They thought I was joking. People told me I was going to be out of business in a year.” Fortin stayed confident that the business would work and after two years, the bakery started building up its base and people loved the cakes. She opened her second bakery in Flower Hill in 2009 and it took off “pretty much right away.” At the time, Del Mar was the 15th franchise location. Fortin opened Mission Valley in 2011, which continues to be the top two bakery in California. “In four years I had built three bakeries, but here I was thinking I’m invincible and not knowing my limitations,” said Fortin, who between October 2013 and October 2014 opened four more bakeries and closed one. The new locations were in Chula Vista, Carlsbad, San Marcos and Santee, and it was an exhausting yet satisfying time. The bakery Fortin closed was Poway, her first, in September 2014. The bakery was profitable, but she had to make a business decision to close it in order to open a better location.

“For me, personally, that was very difficult to close because that was my baby,” Fortin said. “It was where I earned my stripes and learned to be a big girl, and where I learned to accept all the risks of being a small-business owner.” As she expected, the location she decided to open in Santee has become one of the top- selling bakeries in the region. Fortin’s clear understanding of the Nothing Bundt Cake demographic landed her a position as the chairwoman of the Franchise Advisory Board. As she was the first franchisee and owns the most franchise units in the system, she has a strong voice in the company. It was Fortin who approached the founders and persuaded them to keep red velvet cake on the menu year-round. The best-selling cake used to be available only seasonally in February. Now the “velvety rich” cocoa and buttermilk cake with the secret weapon of chocolate chips folded into the batter is available daily See BUNDT, page B18

UCSD Theater grad stars in award-winning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Violetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at San Diego REP BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT â&#x20AC;&#x153;Violet,â&#x20AC;? which opens Aug. 26 at San Diego REPertory Theatre, is based on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ugliest Pilgrimâ&#x20AC;? by Doris Betts, a gifted Southern writer who specializes in short stories about plucky outsider females. The original off-Broadway production won the New York Drama Criticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Circle Award for Best Musical and a special Obie for composer Jeanine Tesoriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music in 1997. Revived on Broadway last year, with Sutton Foster in the lead, the show was nominated for several Tony Awards and hailed by the New York Times as one of the top ten plays of 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Violetâ&#x20AC;? is the story of a young North Carolina woman disfigured by a freak childhood accident, who dreams of becoming beautiful. Believing that a Tulsa televangelist can help her with a miracle, she gets on a bus to Oklahoma, a 900-mile road trip that leads to her discovering what true beauty really is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story about faith, healing, and the desire for transformation,â&#x20AC;? said director Sam Woodhouse, now entering his 40th season at the REP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Violet is a pilgrim in search of salvation from the pain of being an outsider, and the play is almost a fairy tale of self-discovery,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set in the South in 1964, a time of great changes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the year the Civil Rights Act was passed and Martin Luther King won the Nobel Peace Prize. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a musical, with a mix of American roots music, gospel and honky-tonk rock. That search for higher ground plus the historical resonance and the music make the show deeply attractive.â&#x20AC;? Another attractive element in the show is Hannah Corrigan, who plays Violet. The recent recipient of an MFA in Theater from UC San Diego, Corrigan swept away all competition during the audition process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She immediately distinguished herself as a top-shelf singer and actor with the tremendous amount of spunk the
character needs,â&#x20AC;? Woodhouse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She sight-read the music, and the quality of her dramatic fire made us all say: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our Violet!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Corrigan said she never planned to audition for the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just graduating from the MFA program, and was about to leave for New York to showcase scenes for agents and managers there,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was busy packing when I got a call from Korrie Paliotto, the music director of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Violet,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; who was music director of the last show I did at UCSD. When she asked me to audition, I told her I had no time to prepare, but she said to come anyway. So I went in and did a cold reading, and I guess it worked.â&#x20AC;? Corrigan said years of training in improvisational comedy trained her to get up, unprepared, in front of an audience and not be scared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes your timing better, too,â&#x20AC;? she noted. Her varied background also includes training in Shakespeare, clowning, freestyle rapping, dialects, and playing the ukulele. Performing in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Page-To-Stage production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chasing the Songâ&#x20AC;? at La Jolla Playhouse made her a member of Actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Equity; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Violetâ&#x20AC;? was her first Equity audition, and her first audition after grad school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great to try out for the title role and hook it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an honor, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited about playing Violet, a character whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terribly scarred, but so brave.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ A Musical Note: In 2000, with lyricist Dick Scanlan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Violetâ&#x20AC;? composer Jeanine Tesori wrote songs for the stage adaptation of the 1967 movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thoroughly Modern Millie.â&#x20AC;? It premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse and went on to Broadway, bringing Tesori a Tony nomination for Best Original Score and a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music. This year, the often-nominated Tesori finally took home a Tony for the score of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fun Home.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Violetâ&#x20AC;? plays through Sept. 13 on the Lyceum Stage, San Diego REPertory Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza.

‘Tee It Up for the Troops’ fundraiser is Aug. 31; charity marks a decade of raising funds for military families BY GLORIA LIMAS “Tee It Up for the Troops,” the fourth annual appreciation golf tournament and charity fundraiser, will take place at the Santaluz Club on Aug. 31. “Tee It Up” was founded a decade ago when the family of a soldier serving in Iraq asked him what he needed. His response was “Forget about me; do something for the soldiers and their families back home.” The organization was then established to honor that selfless request. Since those humble beginnings, the 501(c)3 charity has hosted more than 300 fundraising events at more than 60 golf clubs in 30 states. Locally, more than $230,000 has been raised to help with the care and rehabilitation of wounded veterans. Nationally, donations exceed more than $1 million annually. “Tee It Up” founder Phil Galchutt said the goal is a simple one. “I became involved because I wanted to help those who Julie Wente and Marcela Smith Terry and Stath Karras, Lori and Brian Weaver have given so much and asked for nothing in return. Many more than $35 million in veterans have suffered horrendous injuries, those seen and unseen. They need the help of others to find their road to recovery and return to an improved lodging costs alone. It has also helped more than 4,000 veterans restore their sense of self, quality of life.

Hillary Clinton guest at fundraising breakfast at Jacobs home in La Jolla Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton was in La Jolla Friday, Aug. 7, for a fundraising breakfast at the home of Qualcomm co-founder and Clinton supporter Irwin Jacobs and his wife, Joan. Former Congressmember and La Jolla resident Lynn Schenk and Marcy Krinsk hosted the breakfast, reporting tickets went for $1,000 up to $2,700, for a pre-breakfast VIP â&#x20AC;&#x153;meet and greetâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the maximum contribution for an individual donor. Schenk said she was Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton with happy to have Clinton in event co-chair and former Congressmember Lynn San Diego so early in the Schenk. Courtesy photo campaign. She said that typically in the last few days before a political fundraiser, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;frantically calling people to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comingâ&#x20AC;? with check in hand, but Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s La Jolla breakfast, which drew more than 250 people, was sold out days before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of [people at the event] â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Democrats and Republicans,â&#x20AC;? Schenk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing these things for a long time and would rate it a 10 out of a 10. Everybody was in a great mood.â&#x20AC;? Schenk said the former first lady and Secretary of State spoke for about 45 minutes â&#x20AC;&#x153;without notes, as usual,â&#x20AC;? touching on â&#x20AC;&#x153;every major domestic policy issue we are facing,â&#x20AC;? and some foreign policy issues, such as her support for the Iran nuclear deal. She also touched on Obamacare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She talked about how good it is, but there obviously are fixes that need to be made and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking to work on that.â&#x20AC;? Schenk said Clinton didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the event to take jabs at the Republican presidential contenders, who held their first televised debate the evening before. The fundraiser was Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first public appearance in La Jolla since announcing her candidacy in April. Last summer she signed her memoir, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hard Choices,â&#x20AC;? at Warwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bookstore. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pat Sherman

For SB’s Second Wind, first attempt at Transpac race yields victory BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although the Solana Beach yacht “Second Wind” has competed in several races, it didn’t truly hit its stride until co-owners Dean Fargo and John Chamberlain took home a trophy from the 48th annual Transpacific Yacht Race. Fargo and Chamberlain’s Swan 651 was the Division Six winner of the Transpac, a biennial offshore yacht race that was established in 1906. “We entered it with a goal of finishing. To win is unbelievable,” said Chamberlain. “This is the first time we’ve done Transpac. To be a rookie and to win is pretty remarkable.” Originally named Lady Godiva III, Second Chance was built in 1984. The yacht placed third in the Whitbread Round the World Race the following year. Now called the Volvo Ocean Race, the race spans thousands of miles and takes about nine months to complete. In July, Second Wind got a second chance with the Transpac, a 2,225-mile voyage from Los Angeles to Honolulu. “This is like the second go-around and race program with this boat,” Fargo said. “It’s a second chance, a second wind for this boat to win a big race.” “We’ve continued the legacy,” added Chamberlain, president and chief executive officer of American Assets Trust, a San Diego-based real estate investment trust. “It’s in the record books once again.” Fargo began racing when he was 16 years old. He and On the 13-member crew were Jim Kirkpatrick, Jay Davis, Jim Smith, Alex Jacobs, Cole Fargo, Dave Gould, Dean his family purchased Second Wind in 2005.

All in all, by the time you reach rick. The final crew member was Cole Fargo, Fargo’s 19-year-old son. The 19-year-old is a the finish line, its quite a thrill.” “All of our hard work paid off,” added Fargo. “This is by far the most prestigious win.” member of UC Berkeley’s sailing team.

SPONSORED COLUMNS STEVE JACOBS Nature Designs Landscaping 760.945.4321
A Letter to All Rancho Santa Fe Residents As a landscape professional for the past 32 years, I have seen everything from huge, rapid growth to deep recession. In the 80’s, mass amounts of money were spent on poor quality construction using large visual impacts such as grottos, water falls, large swimming pools, Koi ponds, and formal rose gardens. Then, in the early 2000’s, homeowners experienced inflated property
values allues a and nd d man many chose h tto o rrefinance efinance fi and d use their equity to invest in landscape projects. Again, low quality, big impact. Now with the current water restrictions and a four year drought, along with the repairs and upgrades to the poor construction and design quality that was previously developed, it’s evident that smarter choices are necessary to improve property values and to look forward to sustainable solutions. Understand that Nature Designs has provided solutions all along the way, advising our clients in the best way possible how to invest wisely in their property and how to improve their personal enjoyment of their outdoor spaces. Twenty-five years ago (1990), Nature Designs won the first-ever “Water(Less!) Garden Award”. As part of a conservation promotion campaign, the San Diego County

Out of all of the awards we’ve received through the years (over 50!), that is the one I am most proud of. It is evident that many RSF residents hire unlicensed, uninsured, and uneducated landscape staff. We run into this often when we are hired to improve an irrigation system or to renovate a property where the landscape has become a declining asset. It’s sad to tell homeowners that their large and expensive palm trees have an incurable disease that could have been prevented with proper management. It’s even more difficult to share with them that their beloved gardener is costing them thousands of dollars of damage each year due to improper fertilization, poor pruning, lack of disease control, excessive use of water, improper

Most often what we explain when we are introduced to new homeowners and their property is that there are numerous hidden costs of unskilled but well-meaning landscape care. And yes, your gardener will tell you he has been a landscaper all of his working life. That said, there is no amount of on-the-job training that can substitute for the hours of water use calculations, pipe sizing and irrigation design that makes the most efficient irrigation system. There is no substitute for the months of study it takes to pass the Certified Arborist or Certified Landscape Technician exams.

3rd annual Iron Mike Paddle set for Aug. 15 The Solana Beach Lifeguard Association, local business Paddle Planet, and city of Solana Beach are gearing up for the third annual Iron Mike Paddle. The community event — held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach — will include a five-mile paddleboard race (prone and stand-up paddleboards), Grom O’ Rama kids surf contest, a board swap (used surfboard/SUP/Paddleboard buy, sell, trade), live music, food, shaved ice truck, and beer garden from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., sponsored by BeerWorks in Solana Beach. Created in 2013, the Iron Mike Paddle was inspired by the Solana Beach Lifeguard Association to honor Mike McKay, a fellow guard who passed away before his time. Known for his strength, friendliness, and positive attitude, McKay died at age 23 of injuries from an avalanche at Mountain High Ski Resort in January 2008. Proceeds from the event go toward the Mike McKay Memorial Foundation, a fund awarding several scholarships every year in outdoor, life-saving endeavors in fields affiliated with McKay. To sign up for the Iron Mike Paddle and Grom O’ Rama, visit https://racemill.com/iron_ mike_paddle.
Taste of MainStreet to be held Aug. 18 Seven new restaurants will be participating in the 27th annual Taste of MainStreet, to be held Aug. 18 and sponsored by the Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association. This year’s event will be held from 5:30 8:30 p.m., along Coast Highway 101 in downtown Encinitas. For a $35 ticket, participants can enjoy tastes from at least 40 restaurants, sample wine and beer at 20 Sip Stops, and listen to live music at seven venues. Buy tickets online at www.encinitas101.com or at the Encinitas 101 office, 818 S. Coast Highway 101. The $35/person advance ticket price includes all 60+ food and beverage choices. Same-day tickets are $45/person, but the event is expected to sell out early. GoodOnYa Deli, whose tagline is “every ingredient matters,” is known for organic and GMO-free food and beverages. Sonima Wellness offers freshly cold-pressed organic juices, “superfood” smoothies, and naturally sourced foods. The soon-to-open Taco Stand, serving handmade corn tortillas and freshly made guacamole and salsa, is the offspring of the highly acclaimed La Jolla restaurant of the same name. The popular San Diego URBN Restaurant Group recently made Encinitas its first coastal location, bringing its New Haven-style pizza to this “Downtown by the Beach.” Three other new restaurants — Better Buzz Coffee, Ironsmith Coffee Roasters, and Vallarta Express — will also take part in this year’s Taste of MainStreet.
Doggie Street Festival to be held Aug. 22 at NTC Park at Liberty Station Meet Ginger, pet of the week at Helen Woodward Animal Center (6461 El Apajo, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92091). For more information call 858-756-4117, option #1 or visit www.animalcenter.org.
San Diego’s home-grown Doggie Street Festival, set for 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Aug. 22 at NTC Park at Liberty Station, is a chance for pet lovers to have a great time with their dogs — or an excellent opportunity for two-footed attendees to find a four-footed companion from one of the more than 40 city, county or individual breed-specific rescue groups in attendance with adoptable dogs and cats. Last year, an estimated 15,000 attended and more than 200 animals found new homes at the San Diego Festival. New this year, the seventh annual Doggie Street Festival will have a Kids Stage with invited guests to “shout out” for pet adoption. Another highlight will be the presentation of Local Hero Awards. Among the honorees will be KUSI-TV broadcast meteorologist Dave Scott and San Diego VCA Hospital Manager Vilen Vlasov. This celebration provides a shopping experience with great deals and free samples from more than 100 specialty vendors offering the latest in pet foods, services, fashion, accessories, dog training and more. As always, there will be music, food and auction prizes. NTC Park at Liberty Station is at 2455 Cushing Road, San Diego, CA 92106. Visit www. doggiestreetfestival.org.

BUNDT
continued from page B4
at the bakeries. As much as she understands the demographic, Fortin understands the cake just as well. She talks with the bakers as they’re swirling raspberry into white chocolate raspberry cake batter, offering tips about the best way to swirl without overdoing it and making sure there is raspberry in every bite. She is always reviewing what works and what makes the best product, aiming for high quality and consistency. “I can look at a cake and tell if it’s overcooked or if too little pan spray was used,” Fortin said. “It’s in my DNA. Being around cakes for nine years, I’m one with the cake. I just know.” Nothing Bundt Cakes is known for the thick, frosting petals that top each cake, some cakes adorned with colorful flowers as an added decorative touch. Cakes can be sold in eight-inch, 10-inch and tiered varieties. Customers can get their fix with individually sized “bundtlets,” and bite-sized “bundtinis” are sold by the dozen. The bakery always has nine permanent flavors, including carrot, marble, white white chocolate, cinnamon swirl and of course the top-selling red velvet and chocolate chocolate chip. And there is always a seasonal selection — this summer’s flavor is a lemon raspberry. When the Pacific Highlands Ranch location opens in October, Fortin will celebrate not only its grand opening, but the birthdays of all San Diego Nothing Bundt Cakes, as they all opened in the August-toDecember time frame. The opening will have a special giveaway of a free bundtlet every month for a

year, which Fortin said people go bananas for. She said when she opened her Mission Valley location, two women were waiting at the front of the line to win the free bundtlets. When she opened San Marcos, there they were again, asking whether she remembered them. Of course she did. “The relationship part of the business I love. I love talking to people and hearing how much the cakes (have) made a difference in their lives,” Fortin said. She has heard how her cakes have been used to brighten people’s days for special occasions and even sad occasions, such as after the 2007 wildfires, when she received a thank you from a firefighter who said the cake was the only thing that made a woman who lost her home smile. People use the cakes to say “thank you” or “feel better” and to celebrate school events, wedding or baby showers. “I clued in early on how important the cakes are as a community relations tool and a way to give back,” Fortin said, who regularly donates proceeds to Susan G.
