RSF Golf Club turf removal project begins; water rebate coming BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is moving fast on a turf removal project after finding out that it can receive a $1,620,000 rebate for completing the water-saving procedure. At its Aug. 7 meeting, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved pledging up to $800,000 from the Covenant Enhancement Fund for the project. Originally, the turf removal was scheduled to be completed over the course of two years, but the RSF Golf Club became aware of the rebate program recently introduced by the Metropolitan Water District. In order to take advantage of the reimbursement, the club must complete the entire turf removal and replacement project within 160 days, a deadline of Dec. 24. The RSF Golf Club will be the very first commercial property to take part in this project, RSF Golf Club Manager Al Castro said. “This plan was already moving through the process without the rebate. Moving it up to take advantage of the rebate is smart business,” RSF Association Director Jerry Yahr said. According to Castro, the club’s plans include removing approximately 18.5 acres of turf and replacing it with lower water-use native plantings. Also, 84 trees will be removed and 105 replacement trees planted. The project’s estimated cost is $1,185,000 and as the rebate includes $2 per square feet of turf removed, there will be a net gain of about $400,000. “The biggest impact will be removing 18 aces of turf See GOLF, page 26

Racing resumes on Del Mar’s turf course without incident

‘SummerFest 2014 Gala: A Summer Celebration of Music’ La Jolla Music Society presented “SummerFest 2014 Gala: A Summer Celebration of Music” on Aug. 9 at “Casa Loma,” the RSF estate of Frances and Tom Powell. Among the guests were (above) Jeff Mueller, Sandy Redman, Denise and Bertrand Hug, Raphael and Marina Pastor. Guests enjoyed a chamber music concert performance featuring festival artists, performing works by Chinese-American composers Zhou Long and Sitson Ma, as well as audience favorites by Fritz Kreisler and Scott Joplin. Gala proceeds benefit La Jolla Music Society’s education, outreach and artistic programs. For more photos, see pages 20-21. Photos by Vincent Andrunas. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview.com.

BY JOE TASH Horse racing resumed over the weekend on the newly expanded turf course at Del Mar, after an eightday closure imposed after four horses were fatally injured in separate incidents during races on the grass track. No injuries were reported to horses or riders during races on Saturday, Aug. 9, and Sunday, Aug. 10, said Josh Rubinstein, executive vice president of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which runs the annual horse racing meets at the stateowned Del Mar Fairgrounds. Rubinstein provided the update to the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association at its monthly meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 12.

R. Roger Rowe School ‘Kindergarten Welcome Pool Party’ The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation hosted its “Kindergarten Welcome Pool Party” Aug. 11 at an RSF home. The RSF Education Foundation is hosting its annual Newcomers’ Welcome Pool Parties the week of Aug. 11 for new families to the Rancho Santa Fe School District to meet others and make new friends prior to the beginning of the school year.

BY JOE TASH Drones or other radiocontrolled aircraft will not be allowed to fly over the Del Mar Fairgrounds without express permission of fairgrounds officials, under a policy approved Aug. 12 by directors of the 22nd District Agricultural Association. The policy was needed to prevent potential security breaches at large events such as the San Diego County Fair and the annual horse racing meets held at the state-owned fairgrounds, said Tim Fennell, the fairgrounds’ general manager.

RSF Association Board Biz: RSF Association board delivering on promises of transparency, fiscal prudence BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD You asked for it, and we are delivering. You asked for transparency, and in several significant moves, we are delivering increased transparency to members. Most notably, the Covenant Design Review Committee has announced that all of its meetings, including deliberations, are now open to all members. No more closed doors for the committee (aka the Art Jury). The committee has announced several other steps to streamline the application process, with further changes under consideration. The RSF Association board appreciates the work of the entire committee and staff in this important area. Also, the RSF Association board has voted to record board meetings, beginning with the Sept. 4 meeting. The board is encouraging all committees to try recording their meetings as well. You asked for fiscal prudence, and the Finance Committee is addressing that in several important areas. First, it is reviewing all of the Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major vendors and outside contractors and getting new bids for all services, including legal counsel. Second, the Finance Committee is reviewing the operating costs of all Association departments. Third, it is analyzing all of our assets, beginning with the Osuna Ranch. At the Aug. 27 meeting of the Finance Committee, Director Jerry Yahr will be giving a presentation on the historical significance of the adobe and the development of a long-range plan for the property. Fourth, the Finance Committee will be working with the board and staff at the Golf Club to help them try to control the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating costs. The club is operating at a deficit that cannot be sustained long-term. Although last spring the Association board projected significant savings with the overhaul of health benefits plan, these savings were not realized by the Golf Club. The Finance Committee will be focusing primarily on the benefits issue and restaurant operations.

Ann Boon On a positive note, the Golf Club has qualified for a $1.6 million reimbursement from the MWD for their proposed turf removal project. As part of its Master Plan for the course, and in an effort to reduce water usage, the club was planning to remove 18.5 acres of turf over a two-year period. The newly funded reimbursement program requires that the entire project be completed by December 2014. To help the club accelerate the project, the Association board agreed to loan the club $885,000. This amount will be repaid to the Association as soon as the reimbursement is received from MWD or before June 30, 2015. You asked for increased participation in Association governance, and staff has

New RSF Association legal policy approved; legal services vendor to be reviewed BY KAREN BILLING In an attempt to help manage the Rancho Santa Fe Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal costs, the RSF Association board approved a new policy that limits board directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; access to legal counsel. Under the new policy, all requests for legal advice will be filtered through the RSF Association Manager. Right now, any board member can pick up the phone and call the RSF Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney to seek information and thus incur legal fees. The manager may be able to respond to legal advice without the need for counsel, saving time and money. The policy would also eliminate duplicate requests. Also, at its Aug. 7 meeting, the RSF Association board directed staff to issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) for a firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal services to make sure the quality and costs associated with the service remain competitive, The law firm of Musick, Peeler & Garrett has served the RSF Association for 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their service has been excellent, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still prudent to review the qualifications of other legal firms who specialize in providing legal services to Common Interest Developments and to look at the range of services offered and billing rates,â&#x20AC;? said RSF Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler. Musick, Peeler & Garrett would be included in the list of firms that would receive the RFQ. Once received, the RFQs would be reviewed and qualified firms may be invited to interview.

made great strides in streamlining the voter registration process and follow-up to make sure new residents get registered. Participation begins with voting. Please make sure that you are registered! You asked for improved infrastructure, in particular related to high-speed Internet and cell phone coverage. The board and staff are reinvigorating efforts to find solutions in both areas. On July 28, representatives of the board, plus Acting Manager Ivan Holler, met with executives at Qualcomm and several residents of the Covenant who are experts in the telecomm industry to discuss the technological challenges we face. The meeting was only an initial step toward addressing these challenges, but given the brainpower and experience in the room, it was a significant step! These experts will attend the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual retreat on Sept. 11 to discuss the telecommunication issues with the entire board. You will hear more about the upcoming retreat in the next issue of this column. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions or concerns for the board to consider, please let me know at ann.boon@me.com.

RSF Patrol reports 18 burglaries so far in 2014, mostly crimes of opportunity

RSF VILLAGE ROAD CLOSURE — La Granada in the RSF village was closed for several hours on Tuesday, Aug. 12, due to a broken utility. The utility broke just before midnight on Aug. 11, causing a spill. After clean-up and repairs were completed, the road re-opened around 1:30 p.m. Aug. 12. Photo by Jon Clark

RSF Association board to audio-record meetings BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board will use the lowest cost proposal to audio-record its meetings — and see whether anyone is listening. At the July 3 meeting, the board directed staff to investigate the cost of equipping the boardroom to record. RSF Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler reported at the Aug. 7 meeting that they received three bids, ranging from $350 for a handheld device with a directional microphone to a high of $4,500 with the installation of tabletop and overhead microphones and a dedicated laptop. The board opted to give it the lowest-cost option a shot and track the number of members who listen to the recordings once they’re posted on the RSF Association’s website. RSF Association President Ann Boon reiterated that recording the meetings is not meant to replace the official minutes, which will still be kept. The recordings would simply serve as a convenience for members.

BY KAREN BILLING Twice a year, Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser gives a crime report for the Covenant, and twice a year, his message is the same: Lock your doors; set your alarms. At the Aug. 7 Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting, Wellhouser gave his semi-annual report, charting incidents from January through June 2014. This year there have been 18 burglaries, which is one less than the same period of time in 2013. There were 11 residential burglaries, three commercial burglaries and four vehicle thefts. “It disturbs me that in over half of the burglaries, the crooks are just walking in the house,” Wellhouser said. “I remind everyone again to lock your doors and turn your alarm systems on … it certainly pays off at the end of the day.” For the first six months of 2014, the Patrol responded to 2,294 calls for assistance, which reflects a 2 percent decrease from 2013. There were 293 alarm calls, which represents a decrease in 35 calls from the same months last year. Wellhouser said alarms account for about 13 percent of total calls handled. Two alarms were actual burglaries and activated by the subject; 61 were accidental. The RSF Patrol also conducted 17,274 vacation checks for residents.

RSF Association seeks to make new residents feel more welcome BY KAREN BILLING RSF Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler said the Rancho Santa Fe Association continues to make strides toward welcoming new residents to the Covenant and getting them registered to vote right away. At the Aug. 7 board meeting, Holler said they have revised their welcome letter to include voter registration information and will also follow up within the next 30 to 60 days if the new members have not yet registered. When escrow changes, the RSF Association first reaches out to the residents, Holler said. Since January, 61 properties have been sold and of the 86 eligible to register to vote, 32 have completed registration. Holler said the association is also now offering a welcome basket for new members, which will include a bottle of wine and an invitation to the RSF Golf Club; a sleeve of tennis balls with a free lesson at the RSF Tennis Club; an equestrian directory of services; a flashlight with the RSF Patrol’s number; a trail map and rules; a 50 percent-off coupon for a class at the RSF Community Center; and a coffee table book on the RSF village.

Covenant Design Review Committee meetings will now be open to all Covenant members BY KAREN BILLING After receiving various suggestions from architects, builders and the real estate community, the Covenant Design Review Committee (previously named Art Jury) has opted to make some changes to the way it does business, hoping for a more open, faster process. “The CDRC has implemented some procedural changes which should help the process be more user-friendly for everyone, while still maintaining the goal of assisting applicants in achieving a ‘high artistic result’ as required by the Covenant,” said Robert Green, building commissioner. RSF Association President Ann Boon said she was grateful for the committee’s willingness to take another look at its process, and RSF Association Director Heather Slosar complimented the more streamlined and transparent CDRC. The first process change relates to deliberations: Previously, deliberations occurred without the applicant in the room. Now applicants and consultants will allowed to be present during the committee’s discussion and recommendations on the project. “Applicants were not present during a portion of the CDRC’s deliberations, which sometimes led to confusion on the part of the applicants and their consultants,” Green said. Also, the meetings will be open to all

Covenant members, not just the parties involved. In an effort to reduce the number of times a project must return to the CDRC for review, the final application step will now be performed administratively instead of at a scheduled meeting. “It should shorten the time by several days and result in cost savings for applicants,” Green said. Applicants will also not be required to go through the fire department review and approval process until the preliminary application step. “We’re at a point in time where most of the architects and designers know what the rules are, and there’s no need to filter projects as we have before,” Green said. Green said the fire department review typically added two to three weeks to the process, causing a major problem for applicants and the RSF Association. Allowing people to get through quicker will assist new buyers with short escrow periods. “We’re also looking at seven or eight additional changes that will all result in cost savings, a shorter review process and hopefully make the process easier,” Green said. “It is the CDRC’s hope that these changes will benefit the entire community and make the Covenant an even more desirable place to live.”

RSF Association board wants finance panel to check out proposed pool-fitness center BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s exploratory pool and fitness center committee is targeting an October community-wide vote to begin a professional planning phase on the facility. The October vote would ask residents whether the Association should pursue the planning phase, at a tentative cost of $350,000. At its July meeting, the committee settled on a potential site between the Player’s Club of the RSF Golf Club and the RSF Tennis Club. The cost of the center could range from $10 million to $15 million, but committee liaison and Director Heather Slosar reiterated that those are very rough numbers, based on assumptions. Slosar said the professional planning phase would establish the cost and the financing method, but the preliminary source is a combination of debt, Community Enhancement Fund monies and member enrollment fees. The next pool and fitness committee meeting will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, at the RSF Golf Club. The RSF Association board will hear a project proposal at its Sept. 11 retreat, and a series of six open forums are proposed for the week of Sept. 15. Board members said they would like to see a finance committee vetting of the proposal after the Aug. 19 meeting, before it goes to the open forums. “In keeping with everything that transpired last year, the board shouldn’t be in the position of taking anything out to ballot until the finance committee says, ‘We bless this project,’” said RSF Association Director Jerry Yahr. Slosar’s timeline is for the RSF Association board to vote on the ballot language at its Oct. 2 meeting. As RSF Association President Ann Boon noted, that is a very specific timeline. “If we get to Sept. 11 and we have real concerns about finances, there is nothing to say we can’t push back the schedule,” Boon said. “I don’t think anyone wants to rush into anything. We want to be sure we and the finance committee have vetted it.” Yahr also said that it might be beneficial to have one of the open forums when the ballots are out so that any member questions or concerns can be addressed during the 30-day voting period.

Volunteers go to bat for foster youth through Voices for Children BY JOE TASH When the “random lady” showed up at Ashlee’s group home, the teenage girl was leery of her. “I was afraid of her leaving, coming in and being with me and then leaving,” said Ashlee, a former foster youth who was taken away from her parents at age 10, along with her 3-year-old sister, because of abuse and neglect. Ashlee was speaking of her “CASA,” a volunteer advocate from a nonprofit group called Voices for Children, which screens and trains adults to work with foster children. Although it was difficult for Ashlee to trust anyone, over time she grew close to her CASA and now thinks of her as her best friend. Ashlee was one of three current and former foster youths who spoke at a panel discussion on Thursday, Aug. 7, at the Encinitas Library. The event was organized by Voices for Children and hosted by Third District County Supervisor Dave Roberts, who has adopted five foster children with his partner. The event was intended

Current and former foster children spoke about their effect their court-appointed special advocates had on their lives at the Aug. 7 event held at the Encinitas Library. Photo by Joe Tash. to raise awareness of Voices for Children and its work, and attract new volunteers from throughout San Diego County to serve as CASAs, which stands for “court-appointed special advocate.” Volunteers go through a screening process, then 35 hours of online and classroom training before being assigned to one or more foster children. As CASAs, they attend juvenile court hearings on behalf of their foster children, write reports that provide crucial information to the court, and in general look out for the welfare and best interests of their charges. Typically, volunteers spend 10 to 15 hours per month on their CASA duties, including outings and visits with their foster children. Voices for Children has a waiting list of 165 foster children who need CASAs, said Sharon Lawrence, the group’s president and CEO. The group especially needs males and bilingual Spanish speakers to volunteer, she said. Ashlee, 17, Hayden, 17, and Rosie, 22, described for the audience some of their experiences with their CASAs, talked about what it was like to be in the foster system and living in group homes, and shared some of the painful experiences they had been through as foster youths. Their last names were kept confidential to protect their privacy. All three youths spoke of being on their own, and lacking a consistent, loving presence

in their lives. For example, Rosie said that during holidays, well-meaning donors would generously provide gifts for children in the foster system, but those presents didn’t fill their need for relationships. “If you really want to make an impact on a child’s life, be in that child’s life,” she said. The three young people also spoke about how their CASAs had helped them, from arranging for medical and dental treatment, to making sure they were able to attend good schools. Hayden credited his CASA with helping him get away from a school in a bad neighborhood, and into a better situation. The foster youth-CASA relationship also provides huge rewards for the adult volunteers, said Amy Roost, a local resident who attended Thursday’s presentation. Roost, who works as an administrator at a Solana Beach-based nonprofit, has volunteered as a CASA for the past 18 months. She decided to get involved after her own two sons graduated from high school and went off to college. “I want to be there for my (foster) child in a way that, one, he feels he can trust me; two, he knows I’m not going anywhere, and three, I will not judge him,” said Roost. One of the boys she worked with told her that his mother said it was his fault she had abandoned him, Roost said. Recently, she fought to get school district officials to do psychological testing on her foster child, leading to additional resources and flexibility in school to help him deal with learning disabilities, Roost said. Roost said she has gotten “so much back” from her work as a CASA. “What greater purpose is there than to be a guiding light for someone who is lost, to be by their side and help them figure things out?” she said. To volunteer as a CASA, or to support Voices for Children, visit the group’s website at Speakupnow.org, or call 858-569-2019. The group holds regular information sessions for potential volunteers, and several sessions are scheduled for August and September.

Lagoon Conservancy to seek public comments on restoration efforts BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having just released its draft environmental impact report outlining options for the restoration of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy is inviting the public to provide input on the reserve-wide project during two community meetings in August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times public meetings like this are agency-driven and mandated. They seem to be dog-andpony shows,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Gibson, executive director of the conservancy, which will administer the lagoon restoration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a community-based organization, and this is a community-based restoration effort.

40-minute presentation. Attendees will also have the opportunity to visit information booths, ask questions and submit comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to get as much information out to the public as possible, so that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comfortable enough to write their comments and add to the project through the process,â&#x20AC;? said Gibson, who first joined the conservancy in 1996. Founded in 1987, and based in Solana Beach, the conservancy is a nonprofit land trust and the premier stewardship organization for the San Elijo Lagoon. Owned and managed by California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks and recreation department, and the conservancy, the 979-acre reserve is located between Encinitas and Solana Beach, extending inland to Rancho Santa Fe. After 18 years of research and planning, Gibson said it is time for largescale restoration of the lagoon, which hosts more than 700 species of plants and animals, many rare and

endangered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at the reserve now, and you sort of go and look out from the trail, you may not notice what the problems are because it looks pretty healthy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to try to break that stigma. It is beautiful, but it has problems.â&#x20AC;? The lagoon needs restoration because of sedimentation and water pollution from historical and current infrastructure, such as Interstate 5. A restored wetland would re-establish the lagoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural water filtration, return fish nurseries, provide mudflat habitat for migrating birds, and create cleaner beaches, Gibson said. In May, the conservancy launched an online survey to ask community members whether they would be likely to participate in the planned summer meetings and what topics should be addressed. Gibson said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for the public to be involved in all steps of the process. The conservancy will look over and respond to

the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments, possibly incorporating some of the suggestions in the final version of the environmental impact report, which should be released in spring 2015, Gibson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought of something that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make it better,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can make a difference.â&#x20AC;? The first community meeting will run from 6-7:30 p.m. Aug. 19 at La Colonia Community Center, 715 Valley Ave. in Solana Beach. The second meeting will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. Aug. 27 at Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive. For information about the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, or to read the draft EIR, visit www.sanelijo.org. The document is also available at the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center, Cardiff-by-the-Sea Library, Solana Beach Library and the county parks and recreation department.

Off-duty Rancho Santa Fe Fire Captain provides CPR, saves a life One of Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (RSFFPD) firefighters helped save a life while off duty. On Aug. 4, Captain Greg Rainville and his wife, Monica, were driving on Park Blvd. near the San Diego Zoo when they saw a commotion just off the road, realized a person was down, and stopped to help. Someone had just called 9-1-1, yet none of the bystanders had started CPR. Rainville quickly assessed the situation and, recognizing the person was pulseless and not breathing, began chest compressions. He continued hands-only CPR until San Diego firefighters arrived on the scene, by which time the man had a pulse and was starting to breathe on his own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and was glad to be of assistance,â&#x20AC;? Rainville said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since none of the bystanders at the scene knew CPR, I encourage others to learn these simple, life-saving skills so they can quickly render aid should they find themselves in a similar situation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When sudden cardiac arrest happens, every second counts,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Murphy, emergency services coordinator for RSFFPD and other neighboring agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sooner someone can begin chest compressions, the better the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of survival.

RSF Village Farmers’ Market still going through County approval process

RSF Historical Society names Sharon Alix as new administrator

Although the RSF Association board voted on March 6 to permit a nine-month trial period for the Rancho Santa Fe Village Farmers’ Market, the process still needs to pass through the many agencies of San Diego County. All involved were hoping for a July 5 opening day, but delays with the required signage, traffic planning and road closure have pushed back the much-anticipated start. The market managers, organizing committee, corporate sponsors and philanthropic affiliate all have been working arduously to complete and submit an enormous amount of applications and paperwork connected with receiving the County’s approval for the market. The main challenge appears to be the fact that — unlike San Diego City locales — the County has never before been asked to grant permission for an ongoing road closure such as the one requested for the RSF Village Farmers’ Market on El Tordo between Linea Del Cielo and Avenida De Acacias. And although there are no residences or direct business access on the 160 feet of the subject site, such a change requires time intensive review prior to approval. “It is gratifying to encounter so many enthusiastic community members who are anxiously awaiting the start of our Village Farmers’ Market! Not a day goes by that someone doesn’t call or ask me in person about the opening date,” said Janet Lawless Christ, an organizer of the Village Farmers’ Market. “It took us over three years to gain approval from our Rancho Santa Fe Association board and we will stick with it until the County gives us the thumbs up as well!” For more information, please contact Janet Lawless Christ at 858-335-7700 or email janetlawlesschris@gmail.com.

RSF family helps fight son’s diabetes through Christopher’s Foundation •Second Tee’d Off for a Cure tournament set for Sept. 15; pre-tournament wine event to be held Aug. 27 BY KAREN BILLING The Schillings of Rancho Santa Fe are rallying for Type 1 diabetes awareness, research and an eventual cure after a life-changing diagnosis rocked their family two years ago. In 2012, Christian and Sue Schilling’s son, Christopher, was diagnosed at age 7. They did not sit idle long, educating themselves and immediately starting Christopher’s Foundation to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation San Diego and find a cure for juvenile diabetes. “What the foundation is all about is connecting,” Christian said. “Connecting to a cure, connecting families and friends, and making people more aware.” The connections have started young — 9-year-old Christopher has found strong support at his school, R. Roger Rowe, where last Halloween his classmates pooled all of their Skittles from their trick-or-treat haul because they knew the straight-sugar candy is perfect for when their friend’s blood sugar gets low. At the end of the school year, when students paper the hallways with their goals and dreams, many of them touchingly included wishes for Christopher’s diabetes to go away. The community awareness is a big first step. Now Christopher’s Foundation is looking for support at its second golf tournament. The Tee’d Off for a Cure Invitational Golf Tournament will be held Monday, Sept. 15, at Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. A $250 entry fee includes golf with a cart, range balls, live and silent auctions, a raffle and dinner. All players also receive a free swing analysis and a Peter Grimm hat. A pre-tournament wine event, Uncorked, will be held at Sublime Tavern from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27. Rancho Santa Fe resident-owned wineries Two Plank and Gen 7 will be at the event, as well as Fallbrook Winery and Rip Current Brewery, and Sublime will serve up a craft beer and wine pairing dinner. (Sublime Tavern is at 3790 Via de la Valle, #301, Del Mar.) Access to the event requires attendees to bring a bottle of wine rated at 90 points or better, which serves as a donation for the silent auction held at the golf tournament. Every day, 40 children are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in the United States — during the time spent playing a round of golf played in Christopher’s golf tournament, approximately eight children will be admitted to the hospital with Type 1 diabetes. Before Christopher was diagnosed in June 2012, the warning signs were subtle. He was drinking a lot of water, and he kept having to wake up at night to use the bath-

Nine-year-old Christopher Schilling of Christopher’s Foundation was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2012. The foundation’s second Tee’d Off for a Cure tournament will be held on Sept. 15, preceded by a wine event on Aug 27. Courtesy photo room. Christian thought it was normal, Sue was certain it was not. “I just knew that something was wrong, I had a gut feeling,” Sue said. She took Christopher to the hospital and after checking him out, they said Christopher needed to be admitted immediately to be stabilized. He was testing positive for diabetes because his blood sugar was very high. Christian said their minds were racked with questions. No one in their families had Type 1 diabetes. Where was this coming from, and why did it just come out of the blue? “There’s no answer. It’s the unfortunate thing; it just happens,” Christian said. Christopher stayed in the hospital for about a week while he and his parents became educated about how to manage his diabetes. “I was just not ready; I couldn’t even talk about it,” said Sue of the emotional time. “I cried. All I did was cry. But I didn’t allow it to define us or stop our family from doing anything.” She became determined to do something to help, reading up on nonprofits and fundraising. It became a family effort, because the diagnosis affected everyone, including Christopher’s twin brother, Matthew, and older brother Thomas.

RSF School District to host Newcomers’ Welcome BBQ and Orientation on Aug. 22 The Rancho Santa Fe School District and Education Foundation will host their annual Newcomers’ Welcome BBQ and Orientation on Friday, Aug. 22, to introduce all new families to the R. Roger Rowe School. The event will be from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the RSF School Performing Arts Center. The welcome is at 10:30 a.m. At 10:50 a.m. a tour will be held, and the BBQ will begin at 11:35 a.m. This is an ideal opportunity for newcomers to walk the wonderful campus, get an overview of the school, learn about the school and its history, and most important, meet the school administration and staff, along with making new friends. The delicious BBQ is a perfect way to finish the event and top off a great summer. Parents will be welcomed by the District Superintendent and introduced to the teaching staff. Parents will be provided information about specific Foundation programs for the upcoming year, understand the benefits of contributing early, and encouraged to participate in activities throughout the year. On the orientation tour, new students can become familiar with the school campus before the first day of school. This year’s event is sponsored by Wells Fargo. The Education Foundation volunteers and the Ranch Hands, a group of parent and child volunteers, will conduct campus tours and provide dessert and drinks. Newcomers’ events are organized by parent volunteers and made possible by donations through the RSF Education Foundation. The Newcomers Chairs for 2014-15 are Tracey McCotter, Lisa Kelly, Jan Bortree, and Nicola Kowalchek.

“It’s therapeutic,” Sue said of the foundation. “The only thing you have control of is to help with research that will make his and others’ lives easier.” Thanks to the “very calming” Dr. Thomas Kelly at Rady Children’s Hospital and resources provided by JDRF San Diego, the Schillings have gotten a handle on Christopher’s diabetes. “Diabetes hit a child in our family that is strong enough to handle it. He’s a mature guy. He’s a numbers guy, and diabetes is a numbers game,” Christian said, noting how Christopher’s blood sugar must kept in balance in a range of 80 to 180. “I’m incredibly proud of him because of the way he’s handled it. He’s been very positive, very focused, and he’s very disciplined.” That’s not to say there haven’t been hard days. There are days when he gets tired of the monitoring and days of birthday cupcakes he just can’t have. The monitoring is required for his health. Christopher typically must prick his finger eight times a day to test his blood. His parents test him during the night while he sleeps. If his levels are too low, they have to awaken him to have some juice or to rub raw sugar on his cheeks; if the levels are too high, he has to get a shot of insulin. He takes two insulin shots a day, and when he’s in school, he frequently checks in with the school nurse. “There are days that are really difficult, but for the most part, those days are few and far between,” said Christian. “I feel like I’m fighting it,” said Christopher, who was an all-star in baseball last season and is a “phenomenal” basketball player. He admits it feels great to see all the people come out and support him the way they did at last year’s tournament. While the tournament is not open to children, Christopher will take the first drive this year to kick off the round of play. With Christopher’s Foundation, the Schilling family aims to do one fundraising event each quarter, and next year they would like to grant a wish for a local child with diabetes. They are proud to be affiliated with JDRF San Diego, which recently hosted a Promise Ball Gala that raised more than $1 million. Research is ongoing and San Diego company Dexcom is even working on an artificial pancreas. “Hopefully, Type 1 will become Type None and that’s the day that we’re eager for — when diabetes is cured,” Christian said.

Roger Rowe School Administration in the Performing Arts Center from 9:10-10:10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 25, the first day of school.

Donation helps TPHS Foundation buy new helmets for varsity football team â&#x20AC;˘To raise the remaining funds for the helmets already purchased, the foundation is hosting a tailgate party Aug. 23 at Del Mar Shores Park. BY KRISTINA HOUCK While Torrey Pines High School football players have been preparing for the season, their parents have been fundraising for their safety. The Torrey Pines High School Foundation recently bought 80 new helmets for the varsity team. The Schutt helmets were delivered to the campus at the start of August, in time for the final weeks of practice before the season begins at the end of the month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to get to a place where no helmet is older than five years,â&#x20AC;? said head football coach Ron Gladnick, who noted the helmets are listed at roughly $420 each. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 years at most schools.â&#x20AC;? An estimated 67,000 diagnosed concussions occur during high school football games each year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11.2 for every 10,000 games and practices, which is twice the rate of college football, according to a 2013 study conducted by the Institute of Medicine and funded by the NFL. To prevent concussions, the foundation bought 60 new helmets last year for the varsity team, which will now go to the junior varsity players. After this latest purchase, about 80 percent of the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helmets are less than two years old, Gladnick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a head coach, you always want to do the best you can do within the budgetary constraints that you have,â&#x20AC;? said Gladnick. He was hired as head coach in March after being head coach at Clairemont High School for the past two seasons, where he led the Chieftains to their first playoff victory in 20 years. He previously was assistant coach at Torrey Pines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a head coach, it makes you feel good to be in a position where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done everything you can to make sure the kids have the safest gear. I feel very, very fortunate because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to do so because of the support we have.â&#x20AC;? On behalf of his law firm, Cardiff-by-the-Sea resident Jordan Cohen donated $10,000 to kick off the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising in June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Helmet safety is a concern for all parents,â&#x20AC;? said Craig

Kelley, a parent liaison with the foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just a wonderful, generous gift from the Cohen law firm. We, as parents, are grateful for their support of Torrey Pines football and the safety of the boys.â&#x20AC;? As founder of the Cohen Law Firm, Cohen represents professional athletes in California workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation cases, including former NFL players who have suffered head injuries during their careers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, he feels so strongly about the safety of the kids, looking at ex-NFL players,â&#x20AC;? said Carmel Valley resident Jackie Cohen about her ex-husband. Their son, Harrison Cohen, is a varsity football player at Torrey Pines High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purchasing new helmets is incredibly important for the safety of the children and the prevention of concussions and future problems,â&#x20AC;? she added. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program has approximately 180 students. Foundation board member Sophia Alsadek said football is â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty much a parent-funded sport,â&#x20AC;? and it costs

about $1,200 per player per season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay to play, so we have to fundraise for everything,â&#x20AC;? Alsadek said. To raise the remaining funds for the purchased helmets, the foundation is hosting a tailgate party from 6-10 p.m. Aug. 23 at Del Mar Shores Park, on Ninth Street in Del Mar. Tickets to the event cost $75 and include gourmet tailgate fare, craft beer and wine, and live music. There will also be an opportunity drawing, as well as a silent and a live auction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The foundation does an amazing job of supporting our school,â&#x20AC;? Gladnick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone in the community who would like to help Torrey Pines can do so through the foundation. It does a great job of making sure dollars go to where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most needed to help the most kids. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing to have in a public school environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re blessed because not every school has the things we have. We have those things because of our foundation.â&#x20AC;? For details, email tphsfundraiser@gmail.com. To buy tickets, visit www.brownpapertickets.com/event/789409.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - AUGUST 14, 2014 - PAGE A11

TPHS alum and author releases second book of epic ‘Ronin’ saga BY ROB LEDONNE Hot on the heels of the release of his debut novel, “The Knife’s Edge,” Torrey Pines High School graduate Matthew Wolf is eagerly anticipating the release of his second book in two years, “Citadel of Fire.” The novels are the first two installments of Wolf’s epic fantasy series dubbed The Ronin Saga, which he explains as a sort of “Lord of the Rings”-style story combined with elements of “Knights of the Round Table.” “I wrote 8 1/2 hours a day, nonstop,” said Wolf of his busy schedule in order to complete “Citadel of Fire,” which famed book reviewer Kirkus recently summed up as “a richly detailed, complex fantasy universe populated by intriguing characters who will continually surprise readers throughout the briskly paced tale.” The rave review comes as no surprise, considering Wolf tweaked his story thanks to the guidance he received from the release of his first book, “The Knife’s Edge.” “I was reading every single review I got and trying to see what people loved about the story, and what I personally loved about the story,” explained Wolf. “It was a cool moment to fill in the gaps, especially having the characters and dialogue evolve.” Fortunately for Wolf, the release of “The Knife’s Edge” (which began when the budding author was attending Torrey Pines High and took nine years to complete), yielded plenty of sales and reaction. “I had high expectations, and in some ways we’ve met a lot of them,” Wolf said. “In the first month of sales, we hit the top 2,000 of all books on Amazon.com, and at one point we were in the Top 5. Some of the reactions I’d love, and others I would not. When I first started reading the reviews, they could either make or break my day.” Now, no longer a new face to the literary world, Wolf is an established author and has the fans to prove it. He recently attended Comic-Con and says it was the first time he “didn’t really have to sell anyone on the book.” “It was weird for me to have a line of people wanting to buy the book,” he said. “I was used to giving a whole rundown of what the series was about, but this time we had a flood of people walking up to the table.” Wolf says “Citadel of Fire,” scheduled for release on Thursday, Aug. 14, answers many questions that “The Knife’s Edge” left ambiguous. “My problem at first is that I tried to hide a lot from peo-

Matthew Wolf ple,” he says. “Book One had a lot of questions, and Book Two answers these questions and explores a whole new world. It takes place in a land of magic, where mystical creatures abound. It’s a kingdom of fire.” Now that “Citadel of Fire” is complete, don’t expect Wolf to slow down anytime soon. He plans to make The Ronin Series a nine-part story, which means that the final book won’t come out until around the year 2022. Until then, he’s basking in the glory of completing his latest release. Said Wolf, ”I couldn’t be more happy with how it came out.” For more on Matthew Wolf, “Citadel of Fire,” and the Ronin Series, visit www. RoninSaga.com.

Former Santa Fe Christian pitching standout Nolan Gannon enjoying breakthrough year in pro ball BY GIDEON RUBIN Baseball prospects are mostly rated by numbers. Their measurable skills are graded by scouts, and their performances evaluated by statistics. Former Santa Fe Christian pitching standout Nolan Gannon is doing just fine in those categories. But Gannon attributes one quality that doesn’t show up in box scores and can’t be measured on a stopwatch to what so far has been a breakout year in the Tampa Bay Rays minor league system. “Maturity,” said Gannon, who’s in his third year of pro ball since being selected by the Rays in the fourth round of the 2012 draft out of Santa Fe Christian. “Maturity comes along with the development,” he said. “If you’re mature, you’re able to see what you’re doing wrong and what you’re doing right and be able to separate the good from the bad. If you don’t have maturity, you’re either thinking you’re the worst or you’re thinking you’re the best without a realistic point of view.” It’s hard to argue with the results. The 20-year-old right-hander is 5-2 with a 2.68 ERA pitching for the Hudson Valley (N.Y.) Renegades in the Class-A New York-Penn League. Gannon’s command has been especially impressive. Through 47 innings, he’s struck out 43 batters and allowed just five walks. The parent club has already taken note of his exceptional command. “He’s a strike thrower,” said Renegades pitching coach Jorge Moncada. Gannon says trusting his stuff helps him keep a fast game simple. He says learning to pitch to contact enables him to keep his pitch count down and go deeper into games. “That’s basically it,” Gannon said, “just not overthinking.” It all comes back to maturity, he said. “I’m becoming more mature and starting to understand my body and my mind more,” he said. “Definitely, the coaching has a big impact on that as well.”

Nolan Gannon Photo by Bill Richmond Gannon believes his experience at Santa Fe Christian played a big part in his development, too. His prep career culminated with him leading the Eagles to a 4-3 victory over Madison in the San Diego Section Division IV finals at Tony Gwynn Stadium. Gannon struck out 14 batters and allowed three runs on six hits and one walk as the Eagles won their second consecutive state sectional championship.

He credits the Eagles coaching staff with helping him prepare for the challenges of professional baseball. “They treated us like men,” Gannon said. “They put a lot of responsibility on us and they definitely expected a lot from us — but in return they gave us the respect as young men that we deserved. “They didn’t just talk to us like we were young boys.” He acknowledged, however, that adjusting to the rigors of playing professional baseball for nearly seven months straight — in hot and humid weather, with few off days — is challenging. Especially for an 18-year-old drafted just out high school in 2012. “Basically, your job is baseball,” he said. “Having baseball every day, running every day, throwing every day and working out every day, it’s a grind physically. That was probably the biggest adjustment I had to make from high school to pro ball.” Gannon’s adjustment has impressed the Rays. “He’s a smart kid,” Moncada said. “He’s always open to learning. Sometimes you find guys that you need to sell the information to, but with Nolan, it’s so easy to work; he’s always open to work.” The Rays also like his upside. Gannon features a three-pitch fastball-curveball-splitter repertoire. His fastball topped out at 94 mph in spring training and regularly reaches into the low 90s. He projects he’ll have even more velocity once his lean, 6-foot-5 195-pound frame fills out. Though the Rays are a small-market franchise, Gannon knows opportunities abound with the club. “Being in an organization such as the Rays definitely gives us extra motivation, knowing that the organization that we’re in pulls from their own system,” he said. “They like to develop pitchers, especially, and have their own (players) playing for the Rays instead of going out and buying (free agents). “That’s definitely encouraging, knowing that I’m playing for an organization that does that.”

Mitchell Thorp Foundation fundraiser ‘Pillars of Hope’ to honor top medical professionals •Foundation supports families with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders BY KRISTINA HOUCK Brad and Beth Thorp lost their 18-year-old son Mitchell to an undiagnosed illness nearly six years ago. For five years, the family searched for answers, and when the community learned of their story, it offered support. Since then, the Thorps have given back to the community through the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, which supports families with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders. To raise funds for families in need, the foundation is debuting its Under the Tuscan Sun Charity Fashion Show, “Pillars of Hope,” on Sept. 6 at Cielo Village in Rancho Santa Fe. During the inaugural event, the Mitchell Thorp Foundation will honor top doctors, educators, therapists and practitioners. “They go over and above their call of duty to help families with these life-threatening conditions,” said Beth Thorp, co-founder and director of Mitchell Thorp Foundation. This year’s honorees are Dr. Mark Drucker with the Center for Advanced Medicine, Dr. Seth Pransky with Rady Children’s Hospital, Ruth Westreich, president of The Westreich Foundation, and Kim Schulte, a certified nutritionist with Biodynamic Wellness. Pransky, Thorp said, is treating a foundation-supported child who suffers from a rare condition. “He’s now training others across the world on how to treat this condition,” she said. “These are the kind of doctors and people we want to honor with what we’re doing. These stories are encouraging.” Mitchell was in seventh grade when he started experiencing severe headaches. By the end of his five-year battle, he could no longer walk or talk, and he had difficulty seeing. The pain in his head was so severe he suffered from seizures. Medicine did not help. Mitchell’s medical bills multiplied as the Thorp family

(Above and right) Mitchell Thorp Courtesy photos traveled across the country looking for answers. To help cover some of the costs, Carlsbad baseball leagues organized a walk-a-thon to raise money for Mitchell’s treatments. Inspired by their son’s strength and the community’s support, the Thorp family founded the Mitchell Thorp Foundation in 2009, which has since supported about 100 families by paying for medical, living and transportation costs. “Mitchell was a bright light. He had a very kind, gentle spirit,” said Thorp, whose family has lived in Carlsbad for 20 years. Mitchell grew up playing baseball in the community, following in the footsteps of his fa-

ther, who played minorleague baseball for the Dodgers. “He loved his family, friends and baseball,” she said. “He was the strongest, bravest young man.” Thorp noted the foundation’s logo features pillars to recognize her son’s strength, which is how event organizers decided on the name “Pillars of Hope” for the event. “This keeps Mitchell’s memory and spirit alive,” she said. “When Mitchell passed, it was very difficult. But we felt, ‘There’s nothing out there like this.’ We wanted to form a bridge and help families have a place to

come to. “His spirit radiated through him, through us, through the foundation — and it continues to do that with whoever we touch.” The inaugural “Pillars of Hope” event will feature an awards presentation, Tuscan cuisine, wine and beer tasting, fashion show, a live and silent auction, health and beauty vendors, and live entertainment. The event runs from

5:30-9:30 p.m. Sept. 6, at Cielo Village, 18029 Calle Ambiente in Rancho Santa Fe. Tickets cost $75 per person, $125 per couple, with VIP seating at $150 per person and $200 per couple. After Aug. 15, tickets will cost $100 per person, $150 per couple, with VIP seating at $200 per person and $250 per couple. For details or to buy tickets, visit mitchellthorp. org.

Animal medium Brent Atwater and ‘Friend,’ her dog, who sports a “B” on his bottom. Atwater is donating readings at a Readings for Rescue fundraiser at the Helen Woodward Animal Center on Aug. 23.

Helen Woodward fundraising event showcases animal medium Aug. 23 Paddle ‘Pawers’ classes in August let you enjoy waves with your pup

For anyone who has ever looked into the eyes of their furry family member and sworn they have a deeper connection with that pet than anyone else on earth, Animal Medium Brent Atwater can tell you why. Atwater has been touching the lives of pet owners across the world with her books, blogs, social media and radio shows, all directed at the question of animal life after death. Now the world-renowned medium is donating her spiritual gifts to Helen Woodward Animal Center with a very special Readings for Rescue fundraiser from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23. At the age of only 5 years old, Atwater’s intuitive gifts were discovered by Dr. J. B. Rhine at Duke University, the founder of ESP. In the years that followed, she devoted decades to researching animal life after death, pet reincarnation and human, animal, spiritual connections. Her books (translated into multiple languages), blogs, radio shows and global Facebook groups skyrocketed her to the top of the list as a leading resource for pet loss grief and animal afterlife questions. In 1987, Atwater founded the Just Plain Love Charitable Trust, dedicating her special gifts to raising funds for children, pets and “other worthwhile causes.” Her ability to see and talk with living and dead pets helps heal hearts, answer unresolved questions and ultimately raise funds for the needs of animal welfare and pet rescue organizations across the country. Helen Woodward Animal Center is honored to welcome Atwater as she kicks off her 201415 season of Readings for Rescue. “I’ll be traveling the world filming live shows where we select audience pet photos and do readings (like the ‘Long Island Medium,’ John Edwards, James van Praagh-style) for living and deceased pets,” said Atwater. “Tax-deductible audience ticket proceeds go to the sponsoring organization. It’s my way of giving back with my Gift.” Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Readings for Rescue event will be from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23 with a special VIP Meet and Greet following the reading from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $37 for general admission and include an entry into a drawing for a free 3.5-hour full reading for your pet, along with an autographed book. VIP tickets are $99 and include the main show plus entry into the after-show Meet & Greet event. VIP tickets also receive a second chance to win a free reading and autographed book, plus photo opportunity with Atwater and Helen Woodward staff. All attendees are encouraged to bring a printed photo of your current or past pet, as pet readings will be chosen at random. For more on the upcoming event or to buy tickets, call Helen Woodward Animal Center at 858-756-4117, ext. 350 (please RSVP by Wednesday, Aug. 20) or visit www.animalcenter. org.

This Sunday, hopeful Stand Up Paddle “Pawers” will head down to dog beach in Del Mar to try out the hottest new dog sport hitting the water! Helen Woodward Animal Center, known for their annual Surf Dog lessons, is offering classes for the “pup-”ular new canine craze. Perfect for dogs that prefer smooth waters to whitewater surf, dogs and their owners have the opportunity to learn from one of the best. Laura Nativo, pet trainer and host of Hallmark Channel’s Emmy-nominated series, “Home & Family,” also happens to be a standup paddleboarding semi pro and this Saturday’s class instructor. Those who wish to try the latest doggie sport can enroll to receive instruction on Sunday, Aug. 17 or Saturday, Aug. 23. All classes begin at 8:30 a.m. Considered one of the leading voices in animal-related entertainment, Nativo leapt into the pet-world spotlight on the CBS hit reality show, “Greatest American Dog,” alongside her Pomeranian pup, Preston. She and Preston finished in the top seven. Since then, she and Preston have hosted a live, interactive show for dog lovers, “Preston’s Planet L!VE”; traveled the country to work with other amazing dogs and their humans filming “The Adventures of Laura & Preston”; hosted a dog competition one-hour special for the Game Show Network, “Dog Park Superstars”; and much more, ultimately landing on Hallmark Channel’s lifestyle series, “Home & Family.” Through it all, Nativo has been passionate about promoting the importance of the human-animal connection and volunteering with pet-focused charities around the country. In her spare time, she has established herself as a semi-pro paddleboarder and she and Preston bond “on board.” The Helen Woodward Animal Center, a longtime friend of Nativo’s and grateful recipient of her dedication to the animal welfare world, has asked the team to serve as Paddleboard Ambassadors at the center’s upcoming Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon, sponsored by Blue Buffalo, on Sept. 7. The annual canine surf competition is the largest of its kind and has earned a reputation for attracting four-legged athletes from up and down the coast. This year, for the very first time, the beloved event will feature a Stand-Up Paddle Paws Parade, as well. Nativo and Preston will lead that parade. All Helen Woodward Animal Center Stand-Up Paddle Boarding lessons are limited to five dogs per class and run 70 minutes. All classes cost $45 with a $10 discount offered off any additional lessons and include the required canine life-vests and paddle boards. Dogs that prefer to “hang twenty” can enroll in Helen Woodward Animal Center Surf Dog lessons, which run on the same dates as the paddleboard classes. Surf Dog classes are limited to 10 dogs per class and run 50 minutes. Class times are 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and noon on Aug. 17 and 23. Dogs who take to the waves are encouraged to register for Helen Woodward Animal Center’s ninth annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon on Sept. 7. All proceeds from the classes and the annual competition go towards the animals and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center. For details, questions or to register, go to animalcenter.org or call 858-756-4117, ext. 350, or stop by Helen Woodward Animal Center at 6461 El Apajo Road, in Rancho Santa Fe.

Rancho Criminalizing parenting Santa Fe Review BY RANDI CRAWFORD In case you were wondering, it turns out you can’t parent however you want in 2014. A 46-year-old woman was recently jailed for letting her 9-yearold daughter play in the park, unsupervised, while she was working. This story comes on the heels of the homeless woman who was arrested for leaving her kids in the car during a job interview. (Sort of ironic, since her home was her car.) The 46-year-old’s daughter had been accompanying her to work for most of the summer, bringing her laptop and keeping herself entertained. Then their home was robbed and the computer was stolen. The daughter asked if she could go to a local park to play while her mom worked. The park was a 6-minute walk from her house, so her mother agreed. She gave her daughter a cell phone in case of an emergency, and her daughter was fine for two days. On the third day, a stranger questioned the girl about her mother’s whereabouts, and then called the police when they realized that she was alone. The mother was arrested on “abandonment charges.” This woman was arrested, and her daughter was taken away from her, because her daughter was playing in a crowded park while she worked? First of all, if this “stranger” was so concerned, why didn’t they call the girl’s mother? What made them call the police? This morning, they reported that a mom in Florida was arrested after her 7-yearold son was found walking to a park alone. The park was a 15-minute walk from his home and he also had a cell phone. A stranger called the police when they saw the boy unsupervised and the police escorted him home, where they arrested his mother for child neglect. What is going on here? Since when did an unsupervised child playing or walking to a park become against the law? Is that even a law? How are kids supposed to learn to take care of themselves and have any independence? Onehundred years ago, these kids would be working on a farm from sun-up to sundown, and today they can’t play without a helicopter parent lurking over them? I used to ride my bike to the lake — 2 miles away — swim all day, and then ride my bike home when it was dinnertime. I don’t recall anyone ever calling the cops and arresting my mom because she wasn’t with me. We all did. I’m truly at a loss as to what law is being broken and how these kids are in such grave danger. We expect people to support themselves, but when single mothers do whatever they have to in order to survive, they are criminals? Look, would I send my 9-year-old to the park all day by herself? Probably not. But I have family, friends, and money to pay a babysitter or an Xbox so my kids can stay at home and be entertained. I have options. These moms don’t have options. They are limited in terms of what they can do with their kids, especially during summer. Summer is supposed to be fun and means no homework and freedom from getting up early, making lunches and having to be at school all day. But for single working parents who have minimum-wage jobs, summer isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. What kids want to sit in McDonald’s all day while their mom works? Seriously, when did we start criminalizing parenting? This mom isn’t giving her 3-year-old beers in a sippy cup. She isn’t sexually abusing her child or using him/her as a punching bag. This is a mom doing her best to support her family on the money she earns, and giving her child a little freedom along the way. Why aren’t the cops spending their time going after the real scumbags? Lord knows we have enough of them. When did we become the “Nanny state”? And why do strangers immediately want to dial the police rather than help? Why do we jump to demonize someone before knowing any of the facts? I’m outraged, and I hope you are, too. Do you think these moms should be arrested for abandonment?

from irrigation,” Castro said. “It won’t affect the quality of play on the golf course, generally the areas are on the edges of the cart path and trails.” Upon approval, the club intended to get started right away “chewing up the turf” to meet that Dec. 24 deadline, Castro said. Temporary funding for the project would come from a combination of $300,000 of RSF Golf Club free reserves and up to $800,000 from the Covenant Enhancement Fund. The obligation to repay the reserves and Covenant Enhancement Fund rests solely with the golf club. Reimbursement by the MWD is expected 90 days after the project completion, in late March or early April 2015. RSF Association Treasurer Kim Eggleston had some concerns that the cost of the project seems to have changed frequently, originally starting at $900,000. Castro said they hope to get it done for under $1.1 million, and noted that the project cost includes a 20 percent contingency. The RSF Association board members said they are also wary that the MWD rebate confirmation had only come via email — they want to ensure that the rebate is actually coming. RSF Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler said that the email is fairly typical and that is the extent of approval that MWD provides. Eggleston questioned where the excess in funds from the rebate will land, wondering whether they should go back to the RSF Association. RSF Golf Club President Steve Dunn said they strongly believe that the excess funding should be put back into the club’s free reserves for future projects, such as a re-do of the club’s 30-year-old sprinkler system. “We’d like to re-enhance our reserve balance, and roughly $400,000 would give us a little bit of a cushion,” Dunn said. Eggleston said when the money materializes in the spring, it would be prudent for the RSF Association board to discuss at that time where the funds should go.

state. The fairgrounds has two horse racing tracks: a larger course with a synthetic surface, and the smaller turf course located inside the synthetic course. Last winter, the 22nd DAA spent $3.7 million to widen the turf course so that more horses could race at one time, and also to enhance safety, officials said at the time. The newly widened course was used for the first time during this summer’s horse racing meet. However, officials took the unusual move of suspending all racing on the turf course after the spate of horse deaths. Rubinstein said the turf course was judged safe by state regulators and representatives of trainers’ and breeders’ groups before it was used for racing. “Everybody in the industry thought it was a safe course from Day One,” he said. As to the four horse deaths, he said, “We do think it was a statistical anomaly.” Necropsies of the horses

will take 60 to 90 days, and the results will be analyzed by the Thoroughbred Club and the state Horse Racing Board, Rubinstein said. In all, eight horses have died at Del Mar this year: four on the turf course, one on the main course, and three from natural causes, Rubinstein said. In the wake of the horse deaths, the club has eliminated shorter, faster “sprint” races, and also prohibited “claiming” horses from racing on the turf track. That means only the “best of the best” horses can race on the turf course this year, Rubinstein said. Track officials also have instituted aggressive watering and aerating schedules to make the turf track softer, and are requiring four checks of every horse by a veterinarian before racing begins. “Any horse that they have the slightest bit of concern about should be withdrawn from the race,” he said. After this fall’s racing meet, track officials plan to replace the larger track’s synthetic surface with a natural dirt surface, Rubinstein said.

buzzed the midway during this summer’s county fair, Fennell told members of the 22nd DAA Board at their meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 12. The 22nd DAA and its board oversee operations at the fairgrounds. “This becomes a safety and security issue,” Fennell said. The policy, approved unanimously by the board, requires written permission for drones or other unmanned, radio-controlled aircraft to fly over the fairgrounds. The prohibition includes the airspace over the property, up to a height of 500 feet. The airspace above that level is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration, officials said. The policy would allow drones if approved by 22nd DAA staff. An example would be a radio-controlled aircraft used for aerial filming of an event at the fairgrounds. The fairgrounds promotions department has its own drone, and Fennell said it could be used to film events for groups that rent out fairgrounds facilities for events. Fennell said he was unable to find other facilities with similar policies regarding drones. “We may be the tip of the spear at this point.”

Operation Game On Golf Classic The seventh annual Operation Game On Golf Classic was held Aug. 11 at Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. About $130,000 was raised during the event, which included a Presentation of Colors, shotgun play, awards, dinner buffet and raffle. “The whole community jumped in on this,” said Tony Perez, founder and president of Operation Game On, a nonprofit organization that builds confidence in injured troops one swing at a time, using golf as a form of mental, emotional and physical therapy. “They were blown away by the passion of our organization.” During the event, Operation Game On announced it is in discussion with a major partner to hold a fundraiser in Scottsdale, Ariz. Perez’s son, PGA Tour player Pat Perez, will host the event sometime in November to honor veterans for Veterans Day. “It will be an annual event,” Perez said. Operation Game On works in partnership with the Naval Medical Center San Diego and Wounded Warrior Battalion West, Camp Pendleton to equip and instruct hundreds of injured troops and their spouses for a game that lasts a lifetime. “It’s unfortunate because we have a lot of troops who came back injured,” Perez said. “I created this to give them an outlet to get them back to a somewhat normal life through golf.” The organization was founded in 2008 with four combat-injured troops. Since then, more than 350 troops have participated in the program. For more, visit www.operationgameon. org, email pgapop@gmail.com or call 858832-1836. Photos by Jon Clark.

San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy seeks more docents to share programs • ‘This has opened up a whole new world for us,’ says one volunteer of the experience BY KRISTINA HOUCK When Norma and Steve Chodos retired and relocated to Solana Beach from Los Angeles four years ago, it didn’t take them long to get involved in the community. With their new home overlooking San Elijo Lagoon, the couple applied to be docents to learn more about what’s beyond their backyard. “We knew nothing about the lagoon,” Norma Chodos said. “We were curious,” added Steve Chodos. Today, the duo co-lead walks through San Elijo Lagoon, nearly 1,000 acres of coastal wetlands between Encinitas and Solana Beach, extending inland from Pacific Coast Highway to Rancho Santa Fe. Norma, a retired English teacher, and Steve, a retired physicist, lean on each other’s strengths to teach children on field trips. “Steve has a Ph.D. in physics, so he usually handles the harder parts of the tours. Being an English major, I handle the descriptive beauty of what we’re seeing,” said Norma Chodos with a laugh. “It’s a good balance.” “She’s better at controlling the class,” added Steve Chodos, as he smiled at his wife of almost 47 years. Launched in 1995, the docent program is funded by San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to the conservation, interpretation and public enjoyment of San Elijo Lagoon. The nonprofit has 40 docents, including local resident Sally Stoffel, a two-year volunteer. Stoffel decided to volunteer at the lagoon after retiring from UC San Diego, where she worked for 35 years. “With raising kids and working, I never really had time to learn about what was around me,” said Stoffel. “We would hike the lagoon, but I didn’t know about

I took it a second year to learn even more.” The eight-week training course covers the history and ecology of San Elijo Lagoon. Docent training also offers practical interpretive techniques and tips on how to lead groups of students and adults. “Now we keep a pair of binoculars nearby, and we can easily identify many of the plants and birds in the lagoon,” said Norma Chodos. “This has opened up a whole new world for us.” About 4,000 students and adults of all ages visited San Elijo Lagoon last year to participate in school and public programs, which include academic field trips, family days and nature walks. The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy is recruiting new volunteers to lead guided walks and field trips, and help raise awareness about the wetlands. There are 15 openings

The Chodos and Stoffel encouraged those interested in volunteering to apply online at www.sanelijo.org/docenttraining. “It’s important to teach the kids,” said Norma Chodos. “Maybe they’ll go home and teach their parents, and they’ll become more aware of how important it is to keep the wetlands. It opens their eyes to nature.” “It’s very rewarding,” added Stoffel. “You get as much out of it as you give.” Training is held 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday mornings, as well as two Saturday mornings, Sept. 30 through Dec. 2 at San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center, 2710 Manchester Ave., Cardiff-by-the-Sea.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - AUGUST 14, 2014 - PAGE B3

Longtime RSF resident Ruth Giffin Godley shares a life of literary adventure in new book

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Times have changed dramatically in the world of the written word. With the global reach of blogs and social media, everyone, it seems, is a writer. For Rancho Santa Fe resident and longtime professional wordsmith Ruth Giffin Godley, 94, these changes have not fazed a lifelong career using her literary talent. Taking advantage of modern self-publishing tools, Godley has documented her personal odyssey in a book that retells stories of her life and career as a freelance writer. Godley compiled her memoir, “Life, What Have You Got for Me Today?: 88 Years of Adventure at Home and Abroad” in partnership with her daughter, Janice Giffin, who edited the book and provided its foreword. The adventure starts with the first story titled, “The Ten Pound Tootsie Roll.” Born in Lawrence, Mass., 10-year-old Ruthie Drosos — as Godley was known then — won a prize of a gigantic Tootsie Roll from the local pharmacy. Neighbors were invited to enjoy a slice of the sticky candy: “Even Grandma and Grandpa Shufelt took out their false teeth to enjoy some,” wrote Godley. The tale is one of many memories that Godley recalls about her childhood, growing up in the small New England community with her mother and her grandparents but no father, which was a mystery that she lived with most of her life. That mystery is solved and retold in the last story of the book, “Back to Beginnings: My Kalomira Family.” After a rocky beginning in 1937, writing an unproofed newspaper advertisement for silk hosiery, Godley started on her career path in promotions. As a young woman, she had attended the Leland Powers School of the Theatre in Massachusetts, where she honed the chatty skills for radio advertising, a talent that would ultimately have her talking her way into the glamorous world of television and travel.

Ruth Giffin Godley and Janice Giffin. Photo by Diane Welch Tired of the harsh East Coast winters, Godley’s thenhusband, Ralph Giffin, decided to move to California in 1953. “I despised it,” said Godley of San Diego. The family – five children (which later became six) and the dog — moved into a small apartment off El Cajon Blvd. “Every-

thing seemed hopelessly wrong!” she said. A house-hunting trip to Lemon Grove had Godley lost and the car running out of gas. The navigational error had a silver lining, as she landed in Rancho Santa Fe and immediately “fell in love with it.” She impulse-bought an acre of land for $2,750. Godley’s adventures soon took wing. She starred in television commercials, became public relations director for the fledgling community of Rancho Bernardo, and founded Rancho Santa Fe Living Magazine in 1964. Her fate was sealed when a representative from British Airways asked her whether she was interested in a weekend flight to England. It was 1971, and BOAC’s (British Overseas Airways Corporation) inaugural flight from Los Angeles to London was being promoted. It would turn into Godley’s inaugural travel assignment, as the trip represented the first of many adventures that would take her around the world as a travel writer for the magazine. “I had arrived!” she said. In later years, she would fly on the Concorde, attend the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, and visit far-flung destinations such as Korea, India, Moscow and more, “without spending a dime.” An easy read of 55 humorous short stories, organized in four parts, the book takes the reader along on Godley’s life journey, which spans many generations. She compiled the book now “to make a statement,” said Godley, who will be 95 this October and whose Chit Chat column used to run in this newspaper. She wants her stories to be preserved for future generations and for others to enjoy. The book is available from Amazon.com as ebook or paperback. There will be a local author display of the book at the Rancho Santa Fe Library and an author’s talk with Janice Giffin soon. Check the library event schedule for date and time.

BY KELLEY CARLSON Bar has been delighting ‘Diegans for two years as a dessert, drink and dining destination. Located in the heart of Hillcrest, the restaurant is a hub of social activity, in a space worthy of a regional architectural Orchid Award. Guests dine under high ceilings and skylights, but when it comes to seating, the 30-foot-long dessert bar — where patrons can watch pastry chefs prepare tantalizing confections — is the icing on the cake. “We’re trying to create a comfortable, personal dining experience,” said Executive Pastry Chef Keegan Gerhard, who owns D Bar with his wife, Lisa Bailey. “We want a place where people can let their guard down, relax and create fond memories.” D Bar’s menu complements such a setting, featuring comfort foods with a fun twist. One appetizer that has been offered since Gerhard and Bailey opened their flagship location in Denver is the D Bar Dates, comparable to bacon candy. Another favorite — a simple summertime “go-to” that pairs well with a glass of chilled wine — is the Dressed Avocado, seasoned with cracked pepper, sea salt, mirin, extra virgin olive oil and lime, and served with a salad. Other small plates include the Duck Confit Nachos, piled with meat, cheese

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly / menurecipes

■ This week’s recipe:

D Bar’s Southern Fried Belgian 2.0 sauces and corn pico; and the Crüe Fries, covered in cheeses, bacon, chives and ranch. One of the beloved entrees is the Southern Fried Belgian 2.0, which has been featured on ABC’s “The Chew.” A lightly fried chicken breast is sandwiched between a “fun bun” of waffles dressed with Tillamook cheddar, accompanied by sweet potato fries. Among the other popular dishes are Pizza Salad Sandwich, Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese and Kobe Sliders on house-made brioche. However, patrons haven’t fully experienced D Bar until they’ve had a dessert. Gerhard is a master of the craft, having been named one of the nation’s top pastry chefs on multiple occasions, and Bailey has also been

lauded for her culinary prowess. Their signature is the Cake and Shake, which can easily be a treat for two. The generously sized slice of cake contains 64 percent Madagascar chocolate, which has a tropical, fruity undertone and comes with a mini milkshake (or malt) topped with crunchy chocolate pearls. There are also fruit-filled fantasies, from the Poco Coco Loco (a passion fruit-andcoconut parfait with basil), to the Strawberries ‘n’ Cream with vanilla bean sponge cake, oven-roasted strawberry ice cream over candied almonds, and vanilla Chantilly. If it’s hard to narrow the choices, there’s A Little Sumpin’ Sweet with an assortment of delectables, such as salted caramel French macaroons and haystack candy. Desserts can also be transformed into cocktails. How about a Birthday Cake Shot, instead of a slice? The bartenders can custom-blend just about anything one’s heart desires. For those who prefer non-alcoholic beverages, a must-try is the D Bar Signature Vanilla Lemonade — it’s sweet, but not overly so, and the vanilla bean neutralizes the acidity. Additionally, there’s an afternoon tea where for $30 per person, patrons can sip on Allegro teas while nibbling on savory bites, scones and pastries.

Two DMCV Sharks teams to tour soccer sites, see games in England Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks are sending two of their elite boys teams from the SDDA Academy division to England. Coach Roy Ashcroft and his BU13 Academy and BU14 Academy teams are headed out to tour England this month. The boys have worked hard all year, both on the field winning more than six tournaments this past year, as well as fundraising for the trip. Each boy set a goal to raise the funds for the trip through a variety of activities, and as a group had great success in earning the majority of the funds. They start their trip in the north of England in Manchester and travel southward down to finish in London. They will tour three stadiums, Anfield, Old Trafford, and the Emirates and train and scrimmage with EPL Academy teams along the way. The boys will also attend two Premier League games to share the excitement and local flavor of true English football.

Sophie Tucker biopic gets Jewish Film Festival off to ‘red-hot’ start BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Sophie Tucker. The name isn’t exactly a household word now, but I remember seeing her on television when I was growing up. She was a hefty, white-haired woman in her 70s by then, and her bawdy style was sanitized for TV, but she was still a star, called “The Last of the Red-Hot Mamas.” Bette Midler named her daughter Sophie after this roughtongued singer-comedian, who was one of Midler’s early inspirations. The child of Russian-Jewish immigrants, Sophie Kalish (her better-known last name came from her first husband) started entertaining in her parents’ Connecticut restaurant, and made her first appearance on a New York stage in 1907 — in blackface. Two years later, wearing her own face, she went on to The Ziegfeld Follies; by the roaring ’20s, she had become a huge recording star whose success spread to Europe and EngSinger Sophie Tucker land, where she sang for King George V and Queen Mary. In the 1930s, she had her own radio show, and continued (1887-1966), as she performing all the rest of her life. Today, you can hear her looked onstage in 1917. singing her breakout hit, “Some of These Days,” on YouTube, COURTESY PHOTO but better still, on Thursday, Aug. 14, you can see a whole movie about her life and times at the JCC in La Jolla. The premiere of “The Outrageous Sophie Tucker” will be the kickoff event for the San Diego Jewish Film Festival, which celebrates its silver anniversary next Feb. 5-15. The film features Barbara Walters, Carol Channing, Michael Feinstein, Tony Bennett and many others, and of course, includes archival footage of the Red Hot Mama herself. Producers Lloyd and Susan Ecker, who spent seven years digging up inside stories about Tucker’s 60-year career, will be at the screening, and will lead a discussion afterward. Their source material was a stash of scrapbooks Tucker had meticulously kept all her life. These provided not only enough visuals to flesh out a movie, but enough information for a book titled, “I Am Sophie Tucker,” which they will introduce and sign later in the evening. The festival’s Craig Prater, who formerly headed the Palm Springs International Film Festival and is now in his second year as festival director here, talked about why he chose “Sophie Tucker” to kick off the Silver Season. “I always like to start with a film that’s fun and entertaining and makes people feel good,” he said. “Even if you’ve never heard of Sophie Tucker, you’ll know everyone who’s

Proceeds from the two-day event will provide the children of Tecate, Mexico, with access to free tennis lessons, tennis equipment and cross-border tournament transportation while also supporting the efforts of the Empty Cradle, a San Diego nonprofit that helps parents cope with the loss of an infant before, during or after birth. Rancho Valencia has underwritten and hosted the event at the resort for the past 10 years. Four-hundred children are enrolled in free tennis lessons at the SES Tennis Center, which has grown since 2004 to include four regulation-size tennis courts. Through free tennis instruction and under the direction of SES Tennis Center coach Jorge Benitez, Eugenio Gonzales, 11 (who has been receiving tennis instruction from the SES Tennis Center since age 7), and his doubles partner, 12-year-old Hernan Olivas, 12, most recently won a gold medal in the doubles division at the 2014 Mexico National Mini-Olympics in Veracruz, Mexico, in May. Only the two top tennis players were selected to represent each state in Mexico from 32 states, and Eugenio represented Baja California on behalf of the SES Tennis Center in Tecate. A highlight of the two-day event is a Sponsor Party on Friday, Sept. 12, that will be hosted by Jamie Carr at her private Rancho Santa Fe residence. The party includes a buffet dinner, silent auction, and entertainments. Reservations are $85 per person to attend the Sponsor Party from 6-9:30 p.m. Sept. 12. The tennis tournament, from 1-5:30 p.m. Sept. 13 at Rancho Valencia, includes a barbeque and trophy presentation for $85 per person (children under 10 are $40 each for this family-friendly event). A combined price of $150 is available to attend both events. Eduardo Sanchez, head tennis pro at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa who is organizing the fundraiser, was born and raised in Tecate, Mexico, and accomplished a lifelong dream to construct public tennis courts for

Docent training available at SD Botanic Garden Registration for the Fall 2014 Docent Training Program at San Diego Botanic Garden is under way and will continue up to the first day of class on Thursday, Sept. 11. Eight classes covering a wide variety of topics will be held from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. every other Thursday, Sept. 11 through Dec. 18. All docent classes will take place in the San Diego Botanic Garden at 230 Quail Gardens Drive in Encinitas. What separates the Botanic Garden’s docent training from others of its type is the enormous diversity. Covering 37 acres and encompassing more than 3,300 varieties of plants, the garden’s topography creates a variety of microclimates from a desert environment to a tropical rainforest. “With the breadth and depth of plant and animal life here, the docents are the first ones to get inspired. Their enthusiasm is contagious — it spreads to everyone they meet,” explains Docent Training Coordinator Linda Stewart, herself a docent and San Diego Master Gardener. “That helps us support the goals of the Garden, to inspire people of all ages to connect with plants and nature,” she adds. Registration for Docent in Training classes is $50. To be eligible for the Fall 2014 courses, individuals only need to complete 10 hours of volunteer training at the Garden and contact Michelle Kinney at 760-436-3036, ext. 206, or mkinney@sdbgarden.org.

Trampoline champion on his way to accomplishing several goals BY KAREN BILLING If one didn’t know any better you might think the teenager soaring high into the air off a trampoline inside the Flip Force San Diego gym was on a collision course for the ceiling. But the high-flying Christopher Lucio is in complete control, executing mid-air moves with power and style. The local resident and incoming Cathedral Catholic High School freshman recently won the gold medal in trampoline in his division at the USA Gymnastics Trampoline and Tumbling Championships in Louisville, Ky. He also took home the bronze in power tumbling. “They didn’t display the scores until we were walking out, we were all nervous. It was disbelief for me,” Christopher said when he finally saw his scores, the accomplishment he is most proud of in his career so far. In trampoline competition, there are two rotations. The first is a compulsory set by USA Gymnastics where every athlete performs the same skills; the second gives the athlete room to create their own routine as long as they perform 10 skills. Judges grade the gymnasts on sticking to their routine, their technique, and they also get points for the amount of time spent in the air. At nationals, Christopher racked 14 seconds of hang time on one of his skills. “The biggest move I pulled was a double layout, backward, and I landed it,” Christopher said. This is Christopher’s third year competing in trampoline and tumbling and his second trip to the nationals — in 2013, he won the level nine 13-14 boys division in power tumbling. For five years, Christopher competed in artistic gymnastics, which includes the standard disciplines of rings, bars, pommel horse, vault and floor exercise. Some of his team members started making the migration over to trampoline and tumbling and he followed to check it out. What made him stick? “Besides jumping on a trampoline?” questions Christopher. “You go pretty high and the air time and flipping on trampolines is fun, it feels like you’re flying.” In power tumbling, Christopher takes off down an elevated spring runway, executing acrobatic tricks in a flurry along the way. Dedicated to his sport, Christopher is in the gym Tuesday through Saturday, three to four hours each day. He sacrifices his Saturday mornings and fits in practice around his schoolwork. Watching Christopher bound, twist and soar into the air during a recent practice, grandfather Everett remarked that Christopher could spend hours in the gym and would probably sleep there if given a bed. At the gym, he works with head competitive trampoline and tumbling coach Ivan Flores and assistant coach Misha Yordonov, a pair with distinguished backgrounds. Flores is the owner of Flip Force, competed on the Mexican Na-

Yordonov is a former member on the Bulgarian National Team for power tumbling. “It’s fun, I don’t think I’d be better at any other sport,” said Christopher, who also does parkour with a team of friends called Raven Krew, jumping off and flipping over urban obstacles. Despite all of his daredevil tricks, Christopher has yet to be seriously injured, just fracturing a wrist in tumbling and suffering basic scrapes on his hands and limbs from his parkour adventures. This season was Christopher’s last competing in the 13-14 division, next year he moves up to level

Annual Harvest for Hope benefit set for Sept. 7 The Emilio Nares Foundation presents the 11th annual Harvest for Hope from 1-4 p.m. Sept. 7 at the San Diego Wine and Culinary Center. Harvest for Hope is a food and wine fundraising event bringing together some of San Diego’s finest chefs to create dishes with selected wineries from all over the world. The result is a beautiful, fun afternoon of great food, wine, music and friendship benefiting the Emilio Nares Foundation. The foundation was created when Richard and Diane Nares lost their only child, Emilio, to cancer. Turning tragedy to hope, the Nares family created the foundation. Richard Nares was named a 2013 top 10 CNN Hero for his work. The foundation provides information, programs, and services for low-income, underprivileged families whose children are battling cancer in San Diego. The “Ride With Emilio” program ensures no child misses cancer treatments because of lack of transportation in San Diego. The evening’s emcee will be Carlo Cecchetto, KFMB/CBS 8 Evening News anchor. This year’s honoree will be Xavier-the-Xman (Xavier Soriano) with Magic 92.5. The San Diego Wine and Culinary Center is at 200 Harbor Drive, #120, San Diego. Tickets are $125 per person or $1,000 for 10 people. Reserve online at www.EmilioNaresFoundation.org. For sponsorship opportunities, contact Heidi Cramer at 760-310-9467 or email enf.development@att.net.

10, the 15-16 age group. His goal is to make the Junior National Team next year and eventually reach the junior elite level, the next level after level 10. Athletes have to be 16 to become a senior elite, able to compete at World Championships and Olympic competitions — the Olympic dream always has a spot on his mind. Thinking smaller and more local, Christopher also hopes to get a trampoline and tumbling team up and running at Cathedral, where they only field a women’s artistic gymnastics team. He hopes he can expose more gymnasts and people to his sport, see it take off and really fly.

Leader instrumental in conservation role of U.S. zoos receives prestigious award Charles Bieler, the man who served as executive director of the Zoological Society of San Diego (now San Diego Zoo Global) for 12 years and set the stage for a new-century approach to conservation, was awarded the Conservation Medal Advocate award at a ceremony held Aug. 7 at the Hotel Sheraton and Marina. Bieler was recognized in a ceremony replete with zoo aficionados and experts, including Joan Embery and a host of others. During Bielerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure with the organization, the Zoological Society of San Diego took a leadership role in conservation; in partnership with noted scientist Kurt Benirschke, Ph.D., he founded the Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species (now the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research). Bieler was also instrumental in starting the San Diego Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s koala population, and he set the stage for ground-breaking conservation efforts with California condors and pandas. Bieler served as executive director of the Zoological Society of San Diego from 1973 until 1985. After 1985, he continued his work to support the organization, meeting with influential people in San Diego and developing a network of support for its continued efforts. The San Diego Zoo Global Conservation Medal has a long history of recognizing significant efforts to protect endangered species and their habitats. In past years, the Zoo has honored Betty White, Joan Embery, Jane Goodall, George Schaller, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and E.O. Wilson. Photos by Vincent Andrunas.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Super Tastyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 5K benefit walk returns Sept. 6 to Solana Beach At least 20 restaurants are expected to join the third annual Super Tasty 5K, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 6 in Solana Beach. The event is a fundraiser for Promises2Kids, a San Diego nonprofit working for children in foster care. Nichole Peterson, executive Director of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, helps plan the event with organizers of the Giro di San Diego Gran Fondo, a two-day celebration of cycling, held Sept. 6 and 7 at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach. Participating restaurants are Carruth Cellars, Crush, Juicerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, The Curious Fork, Wild Note CafĂŠ, and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always trying to help bring business to Solana Beach,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the Super Tasty 5K, we get to showcase the unique restaurants here by providing a sampling of what each has to offer.â&#x20AC;? Giro organizer Carrie Panek, looking to enhance the fun of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest gourmet walk,â&#x20AC;? conducts a raffle and awards prizes to individuals and teams in two categories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a non-competitive 5K, but we like to keep it interesting,â&#x20AC;? says Panek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are awards for the top fundraising team, best individual costume, and best team theme costume. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fundraising is important to us, so we encourage people to register today, form a fundraising team, and start soliciting donations.â&#x20AC;? The Giro di San Diego Gran Fondo San Diego is a two-day

event celebrating cycling, food and San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Coast. It features three mass-start road cycling routes, two mountain bike routes, a two-day Bike & Fitness Expo, and the Solana Beach Super Tasty 5K Restaurant Walk. Promises2Kids, founded in 1981 and formerly known as the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation, assists roughly 5,000 foster children yearly through programs including The Polinsky Center, Camp Connect, Guardian Scholars, and Foster Funds. Tonya Torosian, chief executive officer of Promises2Kids, applauds the efforts of Panek and the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are over 3,000 children in foster care in our county. I am thrilled to partner again with the Super Tasty 5K to raise awareness and support for them.â&#x20AC;? The Giro di San Diego Gran Fondo will donate $5 of every registration, along with 100 percent of all online donations and other funds raised by participants, to Promises2Kids. Until Aug. 23, registration for the Super Tasty 5K is $35 for adults and $20 for kids. Family packages are $90 and group registration is $35 per member.

Weather cancels Jewel Ball, but can’t dampen crew spirits PHOTOS/STORY BY VINCENT ANDRUNAS Although Las Patronas had to cancel its 68th annual Jewel Ball, “Moonlit Mambo,” at 5 p.m. Aug. 2 — due to persistent rains that caused danger from wet electrical wiring, slippery floor surfaces, and the threat of lightning — the food was sent back to the Hyatt (frozen), and later distributed to a charity called “So Others May Eat.” Las Patronas ladies and their husbands (the “Lost Patrons”), who had by then finished about 95 percent of the Cuban-themed ball setup, began to tear it all back down. Organizers paused for a little reception, 6-8 p.m., at which they were joined by guests who were either unaware of the cancellation, or (in most cases) received the call but wanted to come and see the décor and support those who worked so hard to make the event hap- John Shane and Dee Johnson pen.

Sound relief: Local resident’s idea for documenting sign language marks 40 years BY ASHLEY MACKIN It is a common misconception, says Valerie Sutton, that American Sign Language is a gesture-based literal translation of the English language. “American Sign Language is nothing like English, and it is not ‘English on your hands,’ ” she says. “Sign languages are sophisticated languages with their own syntax, grammar and structure.” So when it comes to reading (or writing) for the millions around the world who use ASL as their primary language — such as those born deaf or to deaf parents — learning English is really like learning a second language. “There are all kinds of deaf people with varying levels of ability, but those who never learned written English had been totally cut off from the literature they deserve,” she said, noting that sign language was the only language without a form of documentation. But for the past 40 years, there’s been an alternative, a method of reading and writing sign language Sutton developed and calls “SignWriting,” which has spread and been adapted around the world. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of its development, Sutton hosted the inaugural SignWriting Symposium online July 21-24, with representatives from 12 countries presenting how SignWriting is being used in their lands. Get the picture? SignWriting uses graphics to depict hand placement and movement, as they would occur when someone is signing. For example, an open hand palm up is portrayed with an outline of a rectangle with a triangulated point, like a post on a picket fence. An open hand palm down has the same shape, but is filled in. If the hand is turned to the side, it is half filled in. An asterisk above a symbol represents signs that involve the hands touching, and arrows indicate the direction hands might move for a certain sign. UCSD adjunct ASL professor Adam Frost,

who has been deaf since birth, explained via email, “ASL and English are two very different languages just like English and Spanish are. Sure there are some things that can be easily translated between the two, but then there are things that are just lost in translation. Any bilingual will tell you that.” Coming up through the English-based education system, “There were several concepts that I just could not grasp because English is based on sounds, which are not accessible to me. I ended up trying to find connections on my own from what I did understand about languages from ASL.” For Frost, discovering SignWriting allowed for better documentation of his thoughts. “Since ASL and English are different, it was very difficult to be able to take what I expressed in ASL and write that into English,” he said, noting that he still has difficulty from time to time. Frost used to video-record his thoughts in a visual journal and then attempt to translate them into English. Country by country Frost and Sutton collaborated with other chairpersons to host the SignWriting Symposium, through which 40 presentations were given, explaining how SignWriting is being adopted for sign languages worldwide. “SignWriting is blowing up in Brazil,” Sutton said. “It is becoming a requirement for teachers who want to teach Brazilian Sign Language to learn SignWriting. At the Symposium, there were 12 presentations from Brazil given by 16 presenters, and half of them use sign language as their native language.” One of the presentations from Brazil detailed the long process of having a SignWriting dictionary published. Another, by co-chair Nancy Romero of Poway, listed the 48 Wikipedia articles now available in SignWriting and her experience translating the entire New Testament of the Bible into SignWriting. In Tunisia, software is being developed

Understanding SignWriting

SignWriting inventor Valerie Sutton shows the sign for “perspective” while standing next to the SignWriting graphic for the same word. that uses virtual avatars to interpret SignWriting, which creators will call TuniSigner. Other countries represented were Germany, Honduras, Paraguay, Canada, France and Italy. Hoping to make the digital gathering an annual event, Sutton said presenters have already signed up for the 2015 Symposium. SignWriting by Sutton The concept for SignWriting actually started internationally. When Sutton was studying ballet in Denmark in the early 1970s, she developed a way to document body movement to assist with the language barrier, using graphics similar to those of SignWriting. After its success, the University of Copenhagen Sign Language Research Lab called her in 1974 to see whether she could develop her dance writing system to record the movements of sign language. When she returned to the United States, she brought SignWriting with her and began working with deaf people here. Hosting the Symposium and seeing how

Arguing that SignWriting is not a new language, but rather a way to write down pre-existing languages, creator Valerie Sutton said the symbols used are similar to the alphabet. “It’s international in the same way the Roman alphabet is international — the same symbols (letters) are used to spell out words, but they are in different languages. With SignWriting, the movements may be similar, but they do not always mean the same thing. It has to be applied to the language you already know,” she said. In American Sign Language, for example, the sign for “cook” is a flipping motion, as if flipping a hamburger patty or a pancake. In other countries, the sign is a stirring motion, as if stirring a pot. But because the graphics do not correlate with any one verbal language, they could be adapted to any sign language. On the Web • SignWriting.org: Find all of the symposium presentations (with English captions), as well as free instruction material.

far it has come since then, she said, was “enough to make you cry, it was just so amazing.” To continue the online Symposium, Sutton said donations to pay for sign translators and IT support would be helpful. Sutton pays for their services herself. Contributions to the 501(c)(3) nonprofit can be made by calling 858-456-0098 or visiting SignWriting.org/donate.

Why Hire a Licensed Landscape Professional? The old saying – “if something seems to good to be true, it probable is” – is quite ﬁtting when it comes to hiring a contractor for your home or yard construction project. While it is smart to shop around, get quotes, etc., don’t fall into the trap of trusting an unlicensed contractor promising a great price. More times than not, the “cheapest” contractor will actually end up costing you the most in the long run. Here are some important things to consider when looking for a contractor. Licensing First, make sure that your contractor has the appropriate licensing (it is actually illegal for a contractor to provide services or products over $500 without a license). This is proof that he or

she has met certain industry training standards and is allowed to work in your area. It’s also important that your project meets all of the proper local building codes and obtains the necessary permits. Each contractor is required to list their license number on their website, trucks, business cards, and all marketing materials. If you don’t see this, ask them why and have them provide their number, then check the status of their license and insurance coverage on the Contractors State License Board website: https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/ CheckLicenseII/CheckLicense.aspx Disputes Working with someone who is licensed also gives you an avenue of grievance should a dispute arise. The contractor is held accountable by the Contractor’s State Licensing Board, so the contractor has incentive to do things the correct way, and you have an authority to contact if they do not. Working with a contractor who does not have the proper license and therefore cannot get the appropriate permits can severely hurt your property value. When a house is sold, certain facts must be disclosed to buyers. If it

is revealed that something was not done to code or was done without a permit, this could negatively affect your home’s value and you may be the one to pay for improvements to meet code standards. Insurance Licensed contractors are required to insure their work and their workers. Contractors should carry two types of insurance: liability and worker’s compensation. Liability will protect you in the event that the contractor causes damage to your home, and worker’s compensation will cover an injury that occurs on your property during construction. Don’t be mistaken by thinking that your homeowner’s policy will cover these mishaps. Most policies are voided if the project is being done by an unlicensed contractor. It’s not hard to imagine how catastrophic it would become if you were liable for the damaged property or injured worker. Bonding Many people confuse bonding with insurance, but it’s important to understand the difference. A bond is intended to act as a guarantee that the contractor will perform the work. It is secured money that can be

distributed to the homeowner should the contractor fail to perform the proper work. This covers things like a leak that goes undetected and causes damage to your home or even an employee stealing personal items. Ask to see proof of the bond and be sure to understand its coverage. Trust Lastly, when dealing with a large, or even small, scale job on your property, you want to be sure you can trust those who are doing the work. If the contractor is cutting corners in attaining the proper licensing, you have to wonder where else they are willing to cut corners. Unfortunately, there are thousands of unlicensed contractors working in your area. Your only reassurance is to verify their license, insurance, and bonding to reduce any risk. Here at Nature Designs, we have over 30 years of experience in design, construction and maintenance of high-end landscaping here in San Diego. It is important to us to provide the top professionals in the ﬁeld, licensing, insurance, and bonding to give you the conﬁdence and trust you deserve.

CROSSWORD

To your health: 5 questions to ask your new doctor BY LAWRENCE SCHLITT, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH At some point, nearly everyone will need to choose a new physician, perhaps because of a change in insurance, a move to a new city, or simply a feeling that it is time to make a switch. Your relationship with your physician is perhaps one of the most important in your life, and you want a provider who is not only highly knowledgeable and experienced, but also understands your needs and communicates effectively. Asking a few important questions like the ones below can help ensure you will feel confident and comfortable with your new doctor. 1. What are your qualifications? Medical school is only the beginning of a physician’s education and training; an internship, followed by a residency in the physician’s area of specialization, also are required. Some physicians go on to complete a fellowship, which is another period of specialized medical training or research. Ask about board certification. A board-certified physician has gone beyond basic licensing and met nationally recognized standards for education, knowledge, experience and skills in a specific medical specialty. Studies have shown that board-certified physicians provide higher quality care and have better patient care outcomes. Ask whether the physician has any special areas of expertise. A primary care physician, for example, may enjoy working with amateur athletes, or may have an interest in complementary treatments such as acupuncture or herbal medicine. Some gynecologists specialize in treating the challenges of infertility or menopause. Many physicians participate in research studies as well, or teach at local universities or medical schools. 2. To which hospitals do you admit patients? If you should need surgery or hospital care, ask where the physician will send you. Ideally, you want to go to a hospital, clinic or surgery center that has undergone a rigorous on-site evaluation against established quality and safety standards, such as that provided by The Joint Commission. Also, make sure your insurance plan covers care at the hospital with which your physician is affiliated. 3. How do you like to work with patients? Good communication is key to a strong relationship between physician and patient. Some physicians take a more authoritative approach to care, and tell patients exactly what to do rather than discussing various options with them. This approach may be welcomed by patients who want the doctor to make all the decisions about their care. Other physicians may offer several options and make a recommendation. For example, “You can reduce the sodium in your diet or take medication to control your blood pressure. I would recommend the medication.” Still other physicians may explain all of the treatment options, discuss the pros and cons of each, and leave the final decision up to the patient. Decide how involved you want to be in your treatment decisions, and find a doctor with a similar approach. 4. Who can I call if I have questions? If you have a question about your care, who can you contact for information? Physicians generally cannot come to the phone every time a patient calls. Often, calls are handled by a nurse or physician assistant, who may be able to return your call sooner than the doctor could. If they cannot provide an answer or you really need to speak with the physician, ask how long it will take for him or her to get back to you. Some physicians may answer questions by email as well. 5. What if I need care on short notice or after office hours? If you are sick or injured, will you be able to be seen within a day or two? Some physicians make time for lastminute appointments or have their physician assistants or nurse practitioners available to handle them. Also, know what to expect if you call after hours, such as in the evening or on a weekend. If there is no physician on call, you may need to go to an urgent care center or emergency department. Knowing what to expect from a new physician can help build trust, confidence and satisfaction. Remember, you and your physician are a team, and the better you work together, the better you will feel about your care. Lawrence Schlitt, M.D., is a family medicine physician with Scripps Health. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps Health.

Mainly Mozart 2015 announces artist lineup for concert series Mainly Mozart recently announced its artist lineup for the 2015 Spotlight Series, beginning Feb. 6, 2015. The 19th winter-spring chamber music season will take place throughout the San Diego area, at venues in La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, and Carlsbad. The popular intermission-free Spotlight 2015 series presents some of the world’s leading musicians performing some of the world’s beloved classical works. “In her fourth year at the helm, Spotlight Curator Anne-Marie McDermott has imbued this series with a carefully cultivated combination of longtime favorites from Mainly Mozart’s family of artists and spectacular new faces who we are thrilled to have and who will be performing for us for the first time,” stated Nancy Laturno Bojanic, Mainly Mozart executive director. “We invite you to join us for memorable concerts and conversations with our artists around the San Diego area, including our new Rancho Santa Fe home at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.” The season’s six engagements begin Feb. 6-8 with a trio of concerts featuring violinist Erin Keefe (concertmaster of the Minnesota Orchestra), cellist Ronald Thomas (Mainly Mozart Artistic Partner for the Chamber Players series in June and Artistic Director Emeritus, Boston Chamber Music Society), and pianist Adam Neiman. They will perform Mozart’s Sonata for Violin and Piano, No. 26 in B-Flat Major, K. 378 and Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 50. Next up, from March 6-8 are violin virtuoso Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and series curator/pianist Anne-Marie McDermott (these two dazzled at Mainly Mozart’s Amadeus Gala last April) to perform Ernest Chausson’s Concerto for Violin, Piano, and String Quartet in D Major, Op. 21 in a program that also features The Miami String Quartet. McDermott’s Opus One cohorts — violinist Ida Kavafian, violist Steven Tenenbom, and cellist Peter Wiley — play a program March 27-29 that consists solely of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, wonderfully transcribed by Dmitry Sitkovetsky for string trio. Mother’s Day weekend, May 9-10, brings a feat that will surpass Mainly Mozart’s June 2008 Balboa Theatre program, which included Mozart’s Concerto in F for Three Pianos, K. 242 (as performed by Jeremy Denk, Adam Neiman, and Anton Nel) — besting that outing by a full 88 keys! The Four Piano Spectacular will showcase 352 keys — one key for every seat in the Auditorium at TSRI. Anne-Marie McDermott, Pedja Muzijevic, Anton Nel and Stephen Prutsman will join forces for Carl Czerny’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in C minor, Op. 148 and J.S. Bach’s Concerto for Four Pianos in A minor, BWV 1065. (Note: The Sunday evening performance will be held in a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe and not at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.) A week later (May 16-17) three members of the New York Philharmonic — violinist Sheryl Staples, violist Cynthia Phelps, and cellist Carter Brey — will perform a program with pianist Shai Wosner that will include Mozart’s Duo No. 2 in B-Flat Major for Violin and Viola, K. 424 and Dvorak’s Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 87. Staples and Phelps will also be in San Diego on Nov. 15, 2014 to play Mozart’s Sinfonia

It’s Beatles vs. Stones at Belly Up on Aug. 22 The debate over the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since they first crossed paths on the charts 50 years ago. The argument at the time, and that persists, is that the Beatles were a pop group and the Stones were a rock band: the boys next door vs. the bad boys of rock. So who’s better? Tribute bands Abbey Road and Jumping Jack Flash will engage in an onstage throwdown — a musical “shoot-out,” if you will — between the two bands’ sounds at 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Tickets are $16 and may be purchased online at www.bellyup.com or by calling the box office at 858-481-8140. The Belly Up is at 143 S. Cedros in Solana Beach 92075. The show is 21+.
