R. Roger Rowe Middle School year kicks off with new principal Garrett Corduan enjoys helping others in a variety of ways. BY KAREN BILLING When new R. Roger Rowe Middle School Principal Garrett Corduan accepted his new job, he arrived at Rancho Santa Fe in the dead of summer, finding himself in a bit of a “ghost town.” As summer sped by, people trickled in and he was able to meet staff and community members but what he can’t wait most for is the

students, who arrived on the first day of school Aug. 26 (after this interview took place). “The place comes to life when the students walk in the door,” Corduan said. “That’s going to be really exciting,” The San Diego native comes to Rowe from the Murrieta School District, where he served as a middle

school principal. He said his philosophy as a school leader is the “servant-style” — it truly makes him feel good to help others with what they need, be it students, staff or parents. He said everything appears to be in the right place in Rancho Santa Fe and he wants to provide that assistance to help the district continue in the right direction, and assist teachers

and staff in making a smooth transition into the new Common Core Standards-based teaching. He said he is happy to join “an amazing staff” that is so professional and so well-prepared, and he can’t wait to see them in action with the students, bringing their learning and achieveSee PRINCIPAL, page 26

Class sizes remain small at Rancho Santa Fe School Delaney: District moving in ‘right direction’ BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said the district is well prepared for an “exciting school year” at R. Roger Rowe School. “The start of the school year feels good,” said Delaney at the district board’s Aug. 22 meeting. Enrollment for the 2013-14 school year stands at 695 students, up 22 students from last year with still 10 packets out. Class sizes will remain small at 16 to 17 children in most grades, with middle school in the 15-17 student range and a couple of 20-student classrooms. “We’re so very fortunate that the numbers are just enough to make classes small, allowing us to refrain from using combination classes this year. Being 20 students or less is a great place to be,” Delaney said. The district has hired a new

first- and fifth-grade teacher, a new advanced math teacher, and a literacy support teacher, spending more than they budgeted for, but Delaney notes that property taxes did come in higher than expected. Also this year the fifth and sixth grades will be going through their one-to-one iPad deployment and staff development for the new Common Core State Standards, which will go into effect next year and will continue with the kindergarten through fifth grade roll out of Common Core math. “We’re moving in the right direction at the right pace,” Delaney said. A lot is on the horizon in terms of math as the district enhances its program to encourage learning growth, allowing opportunities for advanced students and intervention for students who may need more help, Delaney said.

Concerns and support voiced for planned Via de la Valle widening project BY KAREN BILLING The planned widening of Via de la Valle, which will enlarge the existing twolane road to a four-lane road from San Andres to El Camino Real, is still a few years off but is inching closer to the final stretch. At its Aug. 22 meeting, the Carmel Valley Commu-

nity Planning Board heard an update about the widening’s status and was asked to provide a motion of support for the project. With a quorum of only nine of the group’s 16 members present, the planning board could not get a passing motion for the project. A motion in opposition to

the widening failed 2-6, with one abstention, and a motion to support the plan with conditions failed 7-2 with Christian Clews and Steve Davison voting against it. Clews expressed strong opposition to the widening for its impact on surrounding local businesses and the

Del Mar Horsepark, as well as for its necessity as the four-lane road will end in a two-lane road after El Camino Real and the county has no intention to widen the road at that point as it leads into Rancho Santa Fe. As the planning board serves solely in an advisory role to the city, it will send a

letter recommending its project conditions, such as making sure the road has as little pavement as possible; that all enhanced bike lane opportunities be explored; and that aesthetics such as weathered corten steel be used on the guardrails. In its current state, the city believes that Via de la

Valle is inadequate to meet transportation demands. The existing two-lane road is built for a maximum of 10,000 average daily trips (ADTs) but the current volume is almost double that at 17,000 ADTs, according to city traffic engineer Farah See WIDENING, page 26

Buzz: Update: Roundabouts and traffic lights BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD Another round for r o u n d abouts and t r a f f i c Ann Boon l i g h t s . About 10 years ago, RSF Association staff was continuously receiving complaints about motorists using local streets to bypass traffic coming from and going toward Del Dios Highway. In response, the Association began looking for ways to improve traffic flow on the Del Dios/Paseo Delicias corridor. The process began with the investigation of a myriad of alternatives, including various right-hand turn prohibitions, moveable barricades and traffic signalers (human and electric). The research efforts culminated with the County conducting a feasibility study on the use of roundabouts as traffic controls at three intersections along the corridor. Those intersections are: Camino Del Norte, La Valle Plateada/ Montevideo, and Via de la Valle. In 2004, the Association and the County contributed funds towards the design of roundabouts. Once the preliminary roundabout de-

signs were completed, the Association asked the County to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the roundabouts. Both traffic experts and community members needed more detailed information and analysis in order to understand the impact of roundabouts on traffic flow, neighboring residents and the community as a whole. The EIR would also provide a comparison of roundabouts with traffic signals. The Draft EIR was completed in early 2013. One of the conclusions contained in the EIR is that the installation of either roundabouts or traffic signals would greatly improve the functioning of the three intersections. Although the roundabouts performed slightly better than traffic signals in the analysis, the difference was not dramatic. On Feb. 7, approximately 140 residents attended a meeting of the Association board to hear the presentation on the Draft EIR. The duty of the board was not to approve or oppose roundabouts, but merely to oppose or not to oppose the EIR. After reviewing the staff report and listening to public testimony, the board voted not to oppose the EIR. Perhaps more importantly, the board decided to work with the County on a pre-

liminary design for traffic signals at each of the three intersections. Once we have this design, the aesthetics of traffic signals can be compared to that of the roundabouts. Currently, the Association is soliciting proposals from consulting firms for the design of traffic signals. In addition, the board is seeking interested members to serve on an ad-hoc Intersection Study Committee to work with staff and the consultant in preparing the preliminary designs for traffic signals. With the preliminary design in hand, the staff and committee members will review and compare all of the options, including roundabouts. The committee will then forward a recommendation to the board. Once the designs have been completed, we will hold another community meeting to review the designs for the roundabouts and traffic signals, as well as to hear the Intersection Study Committee’s recommendation. Ultimately, the Association will have the opportunity to ask the County to proceed with either option, based on whichever one would best serve the needs and desires of our Covenant and its members.

Fire damages home in Fairbanks Ranch At 5:41 a.m. on the morning of Aug. 22, firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, with mutual aid assistance from Solana Beach Fire Department, San Diego Fire Department, and San Diego Rural/Metro Ambulance, responded to the report of a structure fire in the 6000 block of Camino Saucito in the community of Fairbanks Ranch. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered an exterior wall of the house was on fire. The crew was able to quickly extinguish the flames. The residents, who were alerted to the fire by a smoke detector, were able to safely exit the home. Fire investigators determined the fire was caused by a barbeque grill next to the exterior wall being left on overnight. The wall suffered extensive damage while the interior of the home sustained minor water and smoke damage, for a total estimate of $25,000. No injuries were reported. “This incident highlights how important it is to practice fire safety in the home,” said Fire Chief Tony Michel. “Having a working smoke detector in the home made the residents aware of the danger early, providing them with the time necessary to safely exit the home. Test the batteries in each smoke detector in your home once a month to ensure they are function properly. It is also important to make sure all appliances, indoors and out, are turned off when not in use.” — RSF Fire District

Personal items stolen from veterinary surgeon’s SUV BY CITY NEWS SERVICE An iPad, bank information and other personal items were stolen Aug. 22 from an SUV belonging to a surgeon at Helen Woodward Animal Center’s 24-hour Equine Hospital, but images of the suspect may have been captured by surveillance cameras. The hospital is located in the Fairbanks Ranch area of Rancho Santa Fe. The SUV was parked near where the equine surgeon and other staff were working to save the life of a colicky horse, who would have died in 12-24 hours without medical intervention, according to Helen Woodward Animal Center spokeswoman Mindy Wright. About 3 a.m., surveillance cameras captured images of a man as he walked in the direction of the SUV, and again as he ran from the area with a bundle under his arm, Wright said. The surgeon later noticed that his iPad, banking paperwork and other personal belongings were missing from his SUV, she said. The ``person of interest’’ in the video may also be a suspect in recent burglaries at area schools in which computer equipment was taken, according to Wright, who asked anyone with information to call the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department at (858) 521-5200.

Next San Dieguito Planning Group meeting is Sept. 5 The regular meeting of the San Dieguito Planning Group scheduled for Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. will take place at the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Station (meeting room), 16936 El Fuego, Rancho Santa Fe (El Fuego intersects Linea del Cielo at the west end of the village).

RSF golfer Brooke Seay wins division at U.S. Kids Golf World Championship BY GIDEON RUBIN RSF resident Brooke Seay, 12, practices as hard as anyone in her age group preparing for elite golf competitions. But when she’s on the course and the pressure’s really on, it’s all about enjoying herself. “I really try to have fun,” she said. “Sometimes it’s tough when you get caught up in the game but it’s definitely helped me.” Her approach seems to be working. Earlier this month Brooke won the girls 12-year-old division at the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship with an even-par 216 total on Pinehurst No. 3. Brooke has won many tournaments, but the Kids Golf World Championship was her second big win on an international stage. In 2010 she won the Callaway Junior World Championship in the 10-year-old division at Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course. Winning at an elite level isn’t all fun and games though. Brooke attributes her success to hard work and determination. She’s coached by her father, Gordon, with a professional golf

coach occasionally chipping in. “I practice very hard,” she said. “I’m hard on myself and I always try to push myself to be better and I think that helps. Instead of being pushed, I push myself. I really want to be the best golfer I can be.” But having a good time along the way seems to be an integral part of Brooke’s ability to tap into her potential. She points to her showing at the Kids Golf World Championship, when she rebounded from a slow start. She attributes a 3-overpar 75 on the first day, in part, to butterflies, which she overcame as the tournament progressed. She fired a 3-under-par 69 the next day and secured the win with a 72 on the third and final day of the tournament. In Brooke’s division, there were 95 players from 15 countries. Brooke shot the low round of the tournament, and she went 27 consecutive holes without a bogey. “I was [nervous] and that definitely affected me on the first day,” she said. “I wasn’t playing relaxed. On the second day I felt as if I

Courtesy photos. took myself out of it so I was playing very relaxed, very calm, just trying to have fun. It paid off.” Brooke’s experience with handling the pressure of elite tournament competition paid off too. “Knowing that I could win really helped me with my confidence in this tournament,” she said. The win this year earned her a spot on the United States team at the World Cup match, a team event for the top finishers in the individual tournament. The top six 12-year-old girls from the United States, along with the top eight 12-year-old boys, competed against the International team’s equivalent top players on Pinehurst No. 2, a day later, where Team USA would win the World Cup, 5-3.

Brooke and her partner, playing a “best ball” format, shot the day’s lowest score of 66, which was a great score on next year’s U.S. Open & U.S. Women’s Open course. She returned to San Diego with wins in both the individual and team tournaments, and low scores in both. As memorable as this summer has been for Brooke, one of the highlights of her golfing career didn’t involve actual golfing competition. Earlier this year she fired the ceremonial first tee shot at the PGA Farmer’s Open golf tournament at Torrey Pines Golf

Canyon Crest Academy student selected as finalist in Google Science Fair •V ote for his project online BY KRISTINA HOUCK A local student wants to save lives, but needs the community’s help. Eric Chen, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy in Carmel Valley, was selected as one of 15 finalists in Google’s international science fair. The 17-year-old is asking online voters to vote for his project, which is to develop an anti-flu medicine to fight a deadly infection from a new strain of the flu virus that could cause an epidemic. “Current antiviral drugs are losing their effectiveness because resistant flu strains are emerging,” Chen said. “So there’s this need for new anti-flu medicine to hold back the pandemic wave while new vaccines are being developed.” Inspired by the 2009 flu pandemic, Chen has worked on his project, “The Taming of the Flu,” at UC San Diego and Scripps Research Institute labs since May 2012. He uses computer modeling and simulation combined with biological experimentation to speed up the discovery process of new drug can-

Eric Chen Photo/Kristina Houck didates, he said. He is working on finding compounds that inhibit a viral protein called the “endonuclease.” “I’ve always liked doing research as a way to contribute to society,” Chen said. “I was looking for a new science fair project and I remembered vividly how H1N1 went viral in 2009. San Diego had some of the first cases in the U.S. Since then, I’ve been keeping a tab on influenza news. The more I read about it, the more I saw it as an urgent issue.”

The Google Science Fair had thousands of entrants from 120 countries. Judges first selected 90 regional finalists, and then 15 finalists were selected, with five from each age group, ages 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18. All of the finalists will visit Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., to present their projects to a panel of international scientists for a final round of judging. The grand prize winner will receive a $50,000 scholarship, a 10day trip to the Galapagos Islands with National Geographic Expeditions and more. As part of the competition, Chen is also in the running for the Voter’s Choice Award. The winner with the most votes receives a $10,000 grant to fund their project. Voting is open through Aug. 30. “One thing I really like about research is that I get to feel like I’m really making a difference,” Chen said. “Even though I’m just in high school, I can say that. I’m doing work that will make the world a better place.” To vote for Chen’s project, visit www.googlesciencefair.com/en/2013.

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

Local teacher crowned Mrs. California International 2014 BY KRISTINA HOUCK A local teacher is returning to the classroom wearing an additional crown. The reigning Mrs. San Diego International, Staci Ortiz-Davis, was recently named Mrs. California International 2014. “I went in with the attitude to have fun, do my best and take it from there,” said 41-year-old Ortiz-Davis. “I was just thrilled. I still am. My head is just spinning to have the opportunity to focus on the benefits of education and how we should support graduating high school students.” In addition to a ceremonial sash and tiara, Ortiz-Davis will get to represent the state and promote higher education, a cause important to the English teacher and former TV news reporter. Last year, Ortiz-Davis launched the Josie Pearl Scholarship, a college scholarship fund for low-income students in honor of her late grandmother, whose dreams of higher education were sidelined by the Great Depression. “She grew up on a cotton farm in Paris, Texas, and because of the Depression, she had to drop out of school to support her parents,” said Ortiz-Davis, who worked at Torrey Pines High School for eight years. Now a teacher on special assignment, OrtizDavis coaches and trains other teachers in the San Dieguito Union High School District strategies for teaching English language learners. “She was bright, sharp, witty. She would have had a very successful career had she had access to higher education. That’s why I started this scholarship in her name. I know she would just be honored to help students like her who need that support to attend college.” The Josie Pearl Scholarship awarded $3,000 to a Torrey Pines High School senior in 2013. With her new title, Ortiz-Davis hopes to award a total of $10,000 in scholarships to California students this year. “I believe that the title will serve as a

microphone where I can connect with people and I can raise awareness, talk to them about my grandmother, my students and the need,” Ortiz-Davis said. “Education should not be a privilege. It should be a right. For my grandmother, it was a privilege and one that she did not have access to.” As former Miss Anaheim and Miss Orange County, Ortiz-Davis said the experience brought back her memories of competing in the Miss America pageant system nearly 20 years ago. “This competition was different because the competitors were matured, married adult women. That made a big difference,” she said. “The sense of competition and cattiness wasn’t there. It was a group of women that came together. We supported one another. We were eager to hear stories about

Staci Ortiz-Davis and husband David Davis COURTESY PHOTO children, careers, husbands, and what we were doing in our communities.” Sixteen women competed in interviews, fitness wear and evening wear during the pageant at Embassy Suites La Quinta Hotel and Spa. “It was a bit surreal and enlightening to be backstage waiting to go on stage and to look across and see my husband standing there,” said Ortiz-Davis, who is married to KUSI anchor David Davis. “It made me reflect upon the life that I used to have when I was competing in Miss America as a 19-yearold and how my life has changed and what I’ve become. It was really special.” For more information about the Josie Pearl Scholarship, visit www.facebook.com/ pages/Josie-Pearl-Scholarship/390469217718620 For more information about the Mrs. California International Pageant, visit www. californiaintl.com.

BY ROB LEDONNE Sárka-Jonae Miller was on the verge of giving up on her dream of landing a book deal and getting published. The Rancho Santa Fe author, who graduated from New York’s Syracuse University in 2003, first got the idea for her novel, “Between Boyfriends,” as a junior attending school and since then has been trying to get it off the ground. “At the time, I was working 30 hours a week while taking classes full-time,” she said. “It took me a good year and a half to write it. Like any author, all I was getting was [rejections] when I sent it out.” Miller knows well that rejections are a major part of being a writer in this day and age. With the publishing world shrinking and book stores closing every day, making a living as an author has become increasingly difficult over the past decade. “That’s what’s really changed since I got my start,” she explains. “With so many stores shutting their doors and people willing to spend less money on books than ever before, unless you’re an established, popular author you’re not going to sell a lot of paperbacks.” Sárka-Jonae Miller After that initial round of rejection, Miller’s novel (which East County Magazine calls the “ultimate chick-lit read”) underwent some major changes. “I made a significant rewrite, and I think it came out much better,” she says. But, after another round of submissions, she was met with more rejection. As a result, like many authors, Miller turned to the world of e-books and went about self-publishing her story. “Once you’ve exhausted all your possibilities, which I thought I had, self-publishing is pretty much your only hope. My goal when I self-published wasn’t to try to build a career... my goal was to make my book as successful and popular as I could to attract an agent.” Miller says self-publishing, while relatively cost-free, isn’t a walk in the park either. She worked tirelessly to promote “Between Boyfriends” in a variety of outlets, including blogs, and thanks to effort (as well as her critical praise) it rocketed up various best-seller lists on Amazon.com. writing, Miller also has her Then, after years of struggle, a tweet on Twitter changed hands in a publicity busieverything. ness that helps authors gain “Andy Roberts from a publishing platform named traction in the Wild West of Booktrope messaged me.

Until then, along with About “Between Boyfriends” Like Jan Weston, the main character in her debut novel, “Between Boyfriends,” Rancho Santa Fe author Sárka-Jonae Miller is single, grew up in San Diego and worked at various times as a pet groomer and massage therapist. But she doesn’t consider her novel autobiographical, because she doesn’t share her protagonist’s obsession with men and relationships, nor her self-centered view of the world. Rather, Jan is a composite of a number of people Miller met while earning a degree in magazine journalism at Syracuse University, and from her high schools days. While she and most of her fellow students focused on their classes and other aspects of their lives, Miller said, certain people spent all of their waking moments thinking about their current or future boyfriends. “That’s all they ever talked about,” she said. That got her thinking about what would happen to these young women if they just stopped dating cold turkey, which is what Jan Weston does after suffering through a particularly traumatic breakup. The novel chronicles Jan’s life as she works hard at staying away from dating and also to become financially independent when her wealthy parents cut off her living allowance. See AUTHOR, page 30

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local mom and panini food blogger’s first cookbook to be published in September BY KAREN BILLING A panini press is one of the most common wedding registry gift items — a machine also known as a sandwich maker or griddle that heats food from the top and bottom. “A lot of people make one ham and cheese sandwich, put it on a shelf and never touch it again,” said Kathy Strahs, author of “The Ultimate Panini Press Cookbook.” The local mom, food blogger and first-time cookbook author is determined to get people to take that press off the shelf and put it to good use. She has put her panini press to work making everything from chicken cordon bleu paninis to ice cream cones – she can even bake a miniature birthday cake on it. “I think people will be really excited to learn there’s a whole lot more that they could be doing,” Strahs said. Her cookbook, featuring over 200 recipes for the countertop grill, will be published on Sept. 10 by the Harvard Common Press, the end result of Strahs leaving behind a marketing career six years ago to pursue her passion for food. She now writes two food blogs, the panini-driven “Panini Happy” and “Cooking On the Side,” where she tries recipes from the sides of food and product packages, and inserts. Strahs found there are hidden gems of recipes to be found on almost everything — a tag around a bunch of asparagus yielded a recipe for asparagus torta; a recipe for chicken, caramelized onion and mango quesadillas was picked off a three-pound bag of white onions. “I do cook with an oven and skillet too and I’m a huge baker,” Strahs said. “I wanted to do a blog about all other kinds of cooking I do and I think I found a unique niche.” Strahs has always been interested in cooking and food, noting her beginnings watching her mom in the kitchen. She said her mother was a really good cook who took on the challenge of making the best-ever chocolate chip cookies — Strahs and her sisters served as official taste testers. “I really got into cooking more in earnest after my daughter was born,” said Strahs. “I was watching a lot of Food Network and not going out to eat, but we still needed to eat.”

Author Kathy Strahs A few months after her daughter was born, Strahs’ sister gave her a panini press for Christmas. Strahs had been in search of a project to throw herself into in her time away from work so she put the press in action. “I was afraid I would put it on a shelf and use it really rarely so instead I took it as a challenge to see what all I could do with it,” Strahs said. “I made very simple classic sandwiches, but it wasn’t too long before I was trying a whole lot more… There’s almost no limit to what you can cook on there.” She tried to come up with good, legitimate uses for the press — “they’re not all intended to be gimmicky, it’s more about how to look at this tool in a different

way,” she says. She came up with healthful meat and fish recipes, recipes to use up leftovers and vegetarian options like the kale, grilled garlic and cheddar panini. She found ways to whip up breakfast on the machine, such as strawberry, banana and Nutella paninis or bacon breakfast burritos. Then she began to tackle desserts — coming up with the idea to make ice cream cones with the press just like they do at the ice cream parlor. At one point she thought she could probably bake on the press as long as she had something small to bake items in. She thought of ramekins — another popular wedding gift item and

out popped a mini layer cake. “You just have to be willing to mess up a little bit,” Strahs said of her experiments. “I am willing to make a mess of my grill, the point is to push your limits and see what you can do.” She started her Panini Happy blog in January 2008 and had been logging recipes for three and a half years when she was approached by a few different publishers, one of them Harvard Common Press, which does a lot of single subject cookbooks. While her blog has more recipes on it than she’s been able to tally (her celebratory 100th recipe was a pumpkin duck confit and feta panini), the cookbook will feature at least 100 never-seen-before concoctions. Strahs set off on the challenge of writing the new recipes for the cookbook while continuing to maintain her two blogs and being a busy mother to a 5-year-old and a 3-yearold. “It’s been a full two years and I’m very excited to hold the first copy in my hands,” said Strahs, who additionally did all the food photography for the book. “The whole thing is me. I have my hands all over it and that makes me feel proud even though it was challenging.” The cookbook weighs more than 2 pounds and is over 400 pages long — there’s a whole lotta panini sandwiched in there. There’s no way a person could justify making just ham and cheese paninis with that many recipes to try. She is now on her second press of the brand she received from her sister that fateful Christmas and has also purchased other versions so she is better versed on how they all work for her blog and cookbook. With hope, her first cookbook will not be her last — Strahs said she has ideas for books two and three in her head. “I learned a lot in this process. I was really curious to see what it is to write a book; a friend told me it would be the hardest thing I’d ever attempt to do and she wasn’t wrong,” Strahs said. “Next time there’s a few things I might

Accomplished hairstylist opens full-service salon Voilà Hair Atelier in Fairbanks Village Plaza BY DIANE Y. WELCH Hairstylist Luis Angel has cultivated a unique approach to hair, make-up and beauty by training at the top stylist academy in England “Toni&Guy.” He is now bringing his signature skills to his own salon, Voilà Hair Atelier, which recently opened at Fairbanks Village Plaza, in Building #1 - Suite 13. This is Angel’s first venture into owning his own business and the grand-opening of the salon is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 19, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. There promises to be a party atmosphere at the opening, with a champagne and wine reception and gourmet cheese plate. From 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. entertainment pairs a hair show with professional salsa dancing to Cuban music. The evening’s event will wrap up with the award of raffle prizes. The full-service salon has a high-caliber team of hair and make-up stylists with a combined training background with Paul Mitchell, Vidal Sassoon, and Toni&Guy, said Angel. “We offer here facials, skin treatments, manicure and pedicure, and for hair, color treatments, precision cuts, styling, highlights and hair extensions.” Everything is custom-based for each client and wedding party services are also available.” While the planned opening will be high-energy, the salon’s daily atmosphere is unhurried. “We want our clients to relax while they are here,” said Angel. The music even hits the right note with the retro sounds of Frank Sinatra and soothing jazz or classical favorites being played. Interior decor – designed by Angel – echoes this relaxation with a palette of soft

natural earth tones. “It’s in good taste creating an elegant and sophisticated vibe,” he said. For sale in the salon are high-end hair products: Oribe, Number Four and L’Oreal Professional are favored lines of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products available for purchase. There is also hand-crafted jewelry for sale. The salon location, in the heart of Fairbanks Ranch, is a far cry from Angel’s humble roots, having been born and raised in Havana, Cuba where his burning desire to style hair came at a young age. As a 14-yearold, Angel would follow his mother to the salon to see how the process was done. He determined then that this was his passion and future career path. Ten years later Angel moved to Europe to realize this dream. He trained with Toni&Guy in its salon in the heart of London city on Bond Street, learning the fine craft of precision cutting and color treatments. Angel relocated to San Diego in 2001 where he studied to get his U.S. license, further training with Vidal Sassoon in Santa Monica, and Martin Parsons of Los Angeles. He attended make-up artistry training classes at the Institute in Burbank, where he received his Make-Up Designory. Angel’s unique fusion of make-up skills paired with hair styling, brought him into the world of fashion where he worked at prestigious fashion events in Los Angeles and was featured in LA Fashion Week Magazine. This recognition gave him the confidence to take his skills to the next level. “My dream was always to open a salon

Local author Alan Mindell proves â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;life begins at 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122; His first novel â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Closerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appears on several of Amazon.comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestseller lists BY JOE TASH To Alan Mindell, the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;life begins at 70â&#x20AC;? is much more than a pithy saying. Since entering his eighth decade, Mindell has published his first novel, won gold medals in the Senior Olympics, cheered as his thoroughbred horse won races and led group tours for the travel company he founded. For his next venture, he plans to give motivational talks to seniors at local community centers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up. Just keep going. Good things can happen, you never know,â&#x20AC;? said Mindell, a trim 72-year-old who moved to this area nearly a decade ago. Mindellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, a story about both love and baseball called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Closer,â&#x20AC;? was published June 30 by Sunbury Press. Since publication, he said, it has been listed on several of Amazon.comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestseller lists, including reaching No. 1 paperback bestseller in new sports fiction. A self-described existentialist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which he said is a person who searches for meaning in life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mindell was influenced by writers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus during his days as a college student at UC Berkeley, where he also played on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s varsity baseball team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perseverance is key to life

and life begets life. The more active you are, the more life comes to you. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an existentialist thought, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what is,â&#x20AC;? Mindell said. The lives of Mindell and his main character in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Closer,â&#x20AC;? knuckleball pitcher Terry Landers, do have parallels. Mindell spent 15 years trying to publish a novel, while Terry Landers spent 15 years in the minor leagues before getting his chance in â&#x20AC;&#x153;the show.â&#x20AC;? Early in the book, Terry is feeling sorry for himself after a bad

outing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As he neared the door to the bungalow, his smile turned to a frown. What else did he have besides this place and the clothes on his back to show for fifteen years in professional baseball? Not much. Wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it time to face facts? His baseball career had been a failure and he was wasting his time staying with it any longer.â&#x20AC;? As the story progresses, though, Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luck changes, and he finds himself on a Major League team in a pennant race. He also befriends a woman and her three children, which transforms his personal life as well. Mindell wrote an unpublished novel while in his 20s, but then stopped writing as he focused on his travel business. When he sold the company about 15 years ago, he picked up the pen again, and wrote three novels. He opted not to self-publish, instead seeking a traditional publisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt my work was good enough to do that,â&#x20AC;? Mindell said. As to the success heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoyed in various endeavors since turning 70, Mindell said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maybe a little magic.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider myself very lucky,â&#x20AC;? he said, and that publishing his first book was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a dream come true.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now focused on updating and editing another novel about horse racing, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The B Team,â&#x20AC;? which he also hopes to publish. Mindell said his prospects for publishing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Closerâ&#x20AC;? may have been boosted by the success of R.A. Dickey, a knuckleball pitcher who won baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest honor for pitchers, the Cy Young Award, while pitching for the New York Mets in 2012. This year, Dickey plays for the Toronto Bluejays. A knuckleball has been described as a slow pitch with very little spin, which causes an erratic motion as it approaches the batter. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Closer,â&#x20AC;? Mindell writes that Terry Landers throws a certain type of knuckleball called a diver, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because it suddenly dove toward the ground. At its best, it would sink from above the strike zone to a spot below the knees. When batters did make contact, the standard result was a weak grounder.â&#x20AC;? Mindell said he writes for at least an hour a day, using the oldfashioned method of a pencil and note pad. When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not writing, training for an upcoming race or leading a tour for his former company, he enjoys swing and zydeco dancing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a book out doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt my appeal to the opposite

Rancho Coastal Humane Society gala a ‘Celebration of Second Chances’ for animals BY KRISTINA HOUCK Riley Ross frequently brings cheer to patients in local hospitals and nursing homes – many of whom are elderly and lonely. The 7-year-old beagledachshund mix and his owner, Allison Andrews, are volunteers with Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s Pet Assisted Therapy program, which will be highlighted at the organization’s annual Celebration of Second Chances gala Sept. 7 at the Del Mar Country Club. “People love him; he’s a hit,” said Andrews, a longtime donor and volunteer and a new board member of Rancho Coastal Humane Society. “It’s pretty incredible what the power of a dog and somebody who cares and doesn’t pass judgment can do for somebody.” Riley began his pet-assisted therapy training just after his first birthday. At 2 years old, he was fully certified and began volunteering as a therapy dog.

“Dogs, just like people, have innate gifts and different personalities,” said Andrews, who is one of more than 40 volunteers in the program. “From day one, Riley has been a special little healer. He loves everybody. You can have tubes coming out of you and there can be hospital-beeping sounds, and he treats you just like he’d treat anybody else. He’s very good at it. He knows what he’s doing. He’s meant to do it.” The Celebration of Second Chances helps support all of Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s programs and services for people and animals, including the Pet Assisted Therapy program, Animal Safehouse program, animal camps, dog park and more. One of the organization’s newest programs is the Community Pet Food Bank, which provides food and other supplies for people on fixed incomes, the sick and disabled, working families that struggle finan-

cially, and the homeless. The food bank, which launched last November, serves about 140 people per month. Last year’s gala raised more than $80,000, for the organization, which found homes for 800 dogs, cats and rabbits in 2012. “Your penny goes further at Rancho Coastal. It really has a big impact, and you can really make a big difference,” Andrews said. “This organization goes beyond just helping animals, we’re helping people in the community as well.” Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s Celebration of Second Chances begins at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at the Del Mar Country Club, 6001 Clubhouse Drive, Rancho Santa Fe. Tickets start at $175. For more information about Rancho Coastal Humane Society and to purchase tickets to Celebration of Second Chances, visit rchumanesociety.org.

Snooze to open Sept. 6 at DM Highlands Town Center BY KAREN BILLING Snooze, the new breakfast eatery coming to Del Mar Highlands Town Center, has announced community partnerships with San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation and Helen Woodward Animal Center. As with all of the Snooze restaurants (five in Colorado and one in Hillcrest), 1 percent of total sales go toward local community organizations. “Our opening partners at Del Mar are three awesome organizations that totally kick butt for good things,” said the restaurant’s general manager John Paul Daniel. He said the Conservancy was selected as it supports a “vital area for the coast.” “Many people have volunteered and made a difference in making this land safe again for birds, fish and hey, let’s face it, humans,” Daniel said. Daniel said Snooze admired Helen Woodward’s no-kill facility that helps so many types of animals and people, and he praised the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation for raising money for needed school programs in art, music, PE, science and technology. “These people work really hard to make a better community and we couldn’t be happier to be partnered with them,” Daniel said of the Foundation. The restaurant is set to open on Sept. 6. For more information, visit snoozeeatery.com/ Delmar-san-diego.

Proceeds from the twoday 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 Empty Cradle, a San Diego non-profit organization that helps parents cope with the loss of an infant before, during or after birth. There are currently 300 children enrolled in free tennis lessons at the SES Tennis Center, which has grown since inception in 2004 to include four regulation-size tennis courts. SES Tennis Center student and rising youth tennis champion Eugenio Gonzalez has been enrolled at the SES Tennis Center in Tecate, Mexico for four years (beginning at age 7) and is 11 years old. Through free tennis instruction, equipment and tournament transportation provided by the SES Tennis Center, he has risen to the rank of #2 in the 12-and-under category in Mexico and #1 last year in the 10-and-under

SES Tennis Center student and rising youth tennis champion Eugenio Gonazlez. category in San Diego. According to SES Tennis Center Founder Eduardo Sanchez, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thrilled with Eugenioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments under the guidance of our tennis center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we established this facility to foster both tennis and life skills in underprivileged youth and his success is a living testament to us fulfilling our mission. The annual Pro-Am we host every year at Rancho Valencia is our only source of funding and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tremendously grateful to our sponsors and volunteers who make this event

possible.â&#x20AC;?

Rancho Santa Fe Review

August 29, 2013

RSF Garden Club’s upscale Resale Shoppe knows its ‘stuff’ RSF Garden Club events In the spring of this year the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club’s Upscale Resale Shoppe was voted by Ranch and Coast Magazine readers as their favorite resale shop in the county. It’s no wonder, this hidden gem in the lower level of the club has become the place to go to find fabulous and unusual treasures. Every day of the year Rancho Santa Fe residents drop off incredible items behind the rustic little unassuming gates at the corner of Avenida de Acacias and La Granada. “We never know what is coming in from day to day, it’s fascinating” said Manager Maria Murphy. “Once, when we were organizing our storage garage we wished for storage shelves in our heart of hearts, within an hour two huge shelves like they sell at Home Depot appeared at our door. Stunned, we all looked at each other and the tune from the twilight zone was heard coming from someone in the group. It was like someone heard our conversation. “Not only serviceable items appear. Volunteers see silver, gold, precious gems, crystal, china, and designer cloth-

ing donated from homes in Rancho Santa Fe. We’ve even found gold teeth among our donated items. Research is the key to what we do. We would be remiss if we didn’t thank some of our friends in town, Bill and Connie McNally of McNally Company Antiques, and Coleen Freeman at Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry who help us research items with which we are dealing.” “When I first started working in the shop I discovered the value of doing our homework,” said Club President Helen DiZio. “I was sorting through some scratched up old silver plate items. A particularly large silver platter was unusual so I priced it at the ‘high’ amount of $19. After closer inspection and checking with Connie we realized the platter was hand hammered sterling silver by a famous designer. The plate sold immediately for $1,000 to a knowledgeable dealer. Recently, a wedding gown by Givenchy, Paris was purchased by a young girl who knew that is was very valuable. Its so See SHOPPE, page 30

PRINCIPAL continued from page 1 ment to the highest levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kids are very fortunate to have whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available to them at the elementary and middle school,â&#x20AC;? Corduan said. Corduan comes from a long line of educators but he himself didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t initially set out to have a career in education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a realization of sorts when I volunteered in a second grade classroom and I had a moment where I knew exactly what I wanted to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. He taught second and third grades in Poway,

WIDENING continued from page 1 Mahzari. City traffic engineers are projecting 27,000 ADTs by 2030 and a fourlane road has a capacity for 30,000 so they are hoping that the widened Via de la Valle will be able to carry that capacity to and from the freeway. According to Dale Greenhalgh of Black Mountain Ranch, LLC, the project will next go to the hearing officer in September and then is about two years

Rancho Santa Fe Review where he met his wife of 18 years Terri, a fellow teacher. Corduan said they had their first date on a weekend and by Monday he was so sure she was the one that he proposed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they got married three months later. When the pair decided to start a family, the Corduans moved to Temecula and he went to work as a fourth grade teacher in the Murrieta Valley Unified School District and Terri was a stay-at-home mom to their two daughters, one now a freshman at Del Sur High School and the other a seventh grader at Oak Valley Middle School. Terri will also be join-

ing the staff at R. Roger Rowe in the elementary school as a math teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing for both of us,â&#x20AC;? Corduan said. At Murietta, Corduan became an elementary school assistant principal in 2005 and was then selected to open a new visual and performing arts middle school, Dorothy McElhinney Middle School, as its principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot of fun, opening a new place and developing a new culture. It was fun to design things from scratch, building and putting pieces together for a great campus,â&#x20AC;? Corduan said. It was a lot of work to

open up a new school, but Corduan said he learned a lot about himself and how to make a successful system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a teacher I loved the connections you make with students and what you can provide them. As an administrator, you can do the same thing with more students and that was what appealed to me,â&#x20AC;? Corduan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can lead larger groups and initiate greater change.â&#x20AC;? He said he loves working with middle school students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as I stepped on campus and started interacting with middle schoolers I knew that is

where I belonged,â&#x20AC;? Corduan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an age group that you can have adult conversations with students that are ready for itâ&#x20AC;Ś it can be a strange time but you can push students in the right direction at a time when choices can have some serious weight to them.â&#x20AC;? The decision to leave Temecula and the Murietta district that he called home for the last 10 years was not an easy one, but he was influenced by the RSF School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation and by his wife, Terri, who had worked in Rancho Santa Fe years ago as a teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant in the science department.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;She knew the school and knew how special and unique this place is,â&#x20AC;? said Corduan, who noted her insight helped him to make the â&#x20AC;&#x153;life-altering changeâ&#x20AC;? for his family, perfect timing with his oldest daughter just beginning high school. He said the change has definitely been worth it so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a depth to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being offered to students thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than just the basics of education,â&#x20AC;? Corduan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re preparing students for life, not just preparing them to take a testâ&#x20AC;Śwho wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a part of that?â&#x20AC;?

away from the beginning of construction, with a year tagged for Coastal Commission approvals and a year on engineering. The project goes back 10 years when it was originally submitted to the city. Concerns from the planning board and other agencies were always about keeping the roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footprint as narrow as possible through the environmentally-sensitive corridor that includes the San Dieguito River Park. As a result, although the road will be widened to two lanes in each direction,

the road will be 60 feet wide, smaller than the city standard of 84 feet from curb to curb. There will also be a four-foot-wide median and a new six-foot-wide bike lane on both sides of the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a massive improvement from whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there,â&#x20AC;? Greenhalgh said of the widened, safer bikeway. The majority of the road will be widened on the south side due to the steep bluffs on the north side. On the south side there will also be a decomposed granite walking path in the park-

way, a 10-foot area behind the curb, adjacent to the bike lane. There will also be a new signal with the widening at Via del Canon. There are several projects planned for this region, including undergrounding numerous utility lines along Via de la Valle, and the widening and realignment of El Camino Real, which includes a project alternative of a roundabout at the intersection of Via de la Valle. Just a few years ago, the projects were working independently of each other and board member Anne Harvey said the â&#x20AC;&#x153;disjunctureâ&#x20AC;? didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any sense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the planning board urged all of the area projects to come together, which they now are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled to death that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all talking to each other and actually doing a complete project,â&#x20AC;? Harvey said. At last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, planning board member Christian Clews voiced â&#x20AC;&#x153;serious concernsâ&#x20AC;? about the widening. He said the area is home to the most horses per capita than any other in California and the widening could have an extremely negative impact on the showpark horses. He said

that he felt the different trainers who lease space from the state-owned 22nd Agriculture District showpark are not aware of the widening. Greenhalgh said they are working very closely with the Ag. District and that they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard opposition from the manager who represents the different trainers and owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ag District is not happy about [the widening] but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re continuing a dialogue with them,â&#x20AC;? Greenhalgh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with us because they know the road needs to be done.â&#x20AC;? Clews also expressed concern about impacts to Via de la Valle-fronting businesses, such as Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tack and Feed and All Creatures Animal Hospital, saying it was too much encroachment on their properties. In addition, he lamented the loss of the large Torrey Pines trees along the road. Clews said all of the impacts do not justify the widening because he contends traffic is only bad during the fair or soccer tournaments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why build something that is a highway to a dirt road? Where is the logic in that?â&#x20AC;? Clews asked.

Greenhalgh said while buildings like those at Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be closer to the road, no actual land will be taken from them as the project remains within the confines of the existing right of way. He said All Creatures, Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the proposed senior living facility Rancho Del Mar (proposed for the dirt parking lot adjacent to the San Diego Polo Club fields) have all been a part of project discussions. Local Via de la Valle residents spoke in favor of the widening, arguing that it will improve traffic in the area that one resident called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a nightmare.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traffic isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just bad during the fair or the Surf Cup, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad all the time,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Chunyk, a resident of the Santa Fe Downs community located in between San Andres and El Camino Real on Via de la Valle. Kevin Arner, another Santa Fe Downs resident, said he was disappointed to hear that the concerns of the horse people were more important than residents. He was in support of the widening plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like it, we love it, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have everything we wanted but it has enough,â&#x20AC;? Arner said.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Frontline: Cancer

Lung cancer screening guidelines can save lives BY DR. SCOTT M. LIPPMAN Lung cancer is the deadliest of all cancers, killing more people than all other cancers combined. Several factors make it so lethal. For one thing, lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both women (after breast) and men (after prostate). And, unfortunately, most cases aren’t discovered until the disease has advanced to a late stage. The leading cause of lung cancer is smoking and the easiest way to lower one’s risk of lung cancer is to simply not smoke – or to quit. Now there may be an approach to earlier, effective detection in people at high risk for lung cancer: Low-dose computed tomography (CT) screenings of the lungs. Recently, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued draft recommendations urging annual low-dose CT lung scans for smokers. It’s a significant step. The recommendation is based, in part, on research performed at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center by Eric Goodman, M.D, and colleagues, who were part of a multi-center clinical trial funded by the National Cancer Institute. The purpose of the National Lung Screening Trial was to compare lung cancer death rates in participants receiving low-dose CT lung scans versus traditional chest X-rays. Trial participants were all current or former smokers between the ages of 55 and 74, with at least a 30 “packyear” history. (A pack-year is the number of cigarette packs (20 cigarettes) smoked daily times the number of years. A patient who smoked a pack a day for 30 years would have a 30 pack-year history. Someone who smoked three packs a day for 10 years also has a 30 pack-year history.) Trial findings reported a 20 percent lower death rate from lung cancer among participants who received lowdose CT scans, largely because they received earlier diagnoses of tumors at more treatable stages.

Dr. Scott Lippman That’s important to note. Virtually all recent advances in lung cancer treatment have been in non-smokingrelated lung cancer. Smokingrelated lung cancer remains a major clinical challenge, which makes the need for effective early detection even more urgent. CT scans have been used in clinical practice since the early 1980s, with steady improvement of the technology and image resolution over the years. The latest generation of CT scans can see lung abnormalities as small as two millimeters – the thickness of a nickel. Still, actually detecting evidence of lung cancer remains a daunting task for radiologists. The vast majority of tiny “spots” seen on lungs are not cancer. Far more often they’re things like scarring related to an old case of pneumonia you may not remember. To rule out cancer, follow-up CT scans are ordered to look for subsequent growth. If a spot gets bigger, a biopsy may be needed to confirm diagnosis. There is, of course, concern about radiation exposure. As their name suggests, low-dose CT scans use the minimum radiation levels necessary to produce a viable, informative image. A typical screening is the equivalent of six months of exposure to naturally occurring background radiation. And radiation risk markedly declines after age 50 – when these scans are most likely to occur. The question patients and their doctors must ask is obvious: Does the benefit outweigh the risk? For smok-

ers, the answer would seem to be an unambiguous yes. The task force recommends an annual low-dose lung screening test for people who have a 30 pack-year history of smoking or who have quit within the past 15 years. It’s currently recommended only for this group of people to minimize the limitations of false positive exams and radiation exposure. There are, of course, other risk factors that a diagnostic clinician should take into account as well, such as exposure to asbestos or radon, prior history of radiation and conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. And, of course, the screening should be conducted at a center with high expertise in CT scans. One of the biggest benefits of lung cancer screenings is the venue and moment. It’s an opportunity for the screening team to talk with a patient about smoking cessation. This is not a trivial point. Even with a 30 packyear history, it is never too late to quit. A smoker who quits by age 50 can escape up to half of the health consequences of smoking. Quitting by 65 years can still avoid over 20 percent of the health consequences of the person who continues to smoke. We know that quitting is hard but the long-term payoff is indisputable. At a minimum, all smokers getting a low-dose CT scan should also call the California Smokers Helpline (1-800-NO-BUTTS). The original work showing the effectiveness of the Smokers Helpline came from research at our own cancer center. It is never too late to quit the habit and reduce your chance of getting lung cancer. Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in the La Jolla Light the fourth Thursday of each month. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ ucsd.edu.

Fortunately for Brooke, her ability to calm her nerves helped her make the most of the moment. “I ended up hitting the fairway,” she said. “My driver is one of my strengths so I tried to just hit it like any other shot on the range or any other tournament. It was big relief actually.” Brooke started playing golf when she was 4. She was first introduced to the sport tagging along with her father when he attended adult weekly clinics.

Brooke’s stunning resume, however, hasn’t come at the expense of other endeavors. She plays soccer and tennis, and plays piano and violin. She’s also involved in an after-school arts program that includes painting, drawing and sculpting. Brooke believes her artistic pursuits have benefited her golf game. “It does help me sometimes,” she said. “Sometimes you have to be technical on the range and get your swing right, but on the course you just have to do whatever you can do to get your shot how you want it, where you want it.

Over the course of the book, Jan, who is in her early 20s, begins to grow as a person and even strikes up a true friendship with a man, a first for her. “Something I was adamant about, it had to be realistic, she had to change and grow at a realistic pace and everything was not going to get resolved by the end of the book. But she makes a lot of progress and definitely becomes a more likeable person. She’s someone you’d want to be friends with by the end of the book,” Miller said. — Reported by Joe Tash panini party at Venissimo Cheese at Flower Hill Promenade.

fun to see what comes in and who is wise enough to shop here. Our customers know what they are doing and are often seen checking prices on their cell phones. Often we learn from them. We keep saying we should have a ‘what the heck is this?’ contest each week. Some items totally stump us. We do enjoy what we do. It’s such a pleasure to work in this friendly environment, It’s like having our own little Antiques Road Show. “Often we get items that have never been used and still have tags attached. Part of our success is due to our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/RSFResale, where we upload photos of items for sale. Periodically we receive items that are better suited for sale at other charities in the country so we sort and research everything that comes to us. If it does not sell in our shop we make sure the items go to an organization that can use them. Every week for years the trucks from Father Joe’s Mission pull up to our doors and take loads to their stores. Our success allows us to donate to other charities. This spring we gave $10,000 to Solutions Farms of Solutions for Change, an organization that works to solve homelessness. “The shop is run by a small group of dedicated volunteers who sort, research, price, display, cashier and learn all aspects of a charity retail business. They were honored this year by the Board of Directors of the Garden Club for their dedication to service. Our ‘regulars’ love to come see what is going on and to visit with our staff. We have our fingers on the pulse of the Ranch, of course we always know who is moving in or moving out.

North Coast Rep kicks off 32nd season with ‘Man with a Load of Mischief’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK While other kids listened to Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, director Rick Simas said he played tunes from “Man with a Load of Mischief.” Now Simas is kicking off North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 32nd season with the off-Broadway musical. “I’ve known this musical since the late ’60s,” said Simas, who co-directs San Diego State University’s master’s program in musical theater. “This was one of those rare finds that people who collected the recordings of musicals would look for because it was a fairly obscure musical and there weren’t a lot of copies of the album out there. I fell in love with the songs and played it over and over.” Set in the early 19th century, an accident to a coach brings a nobleman, his lackey, a lady and her maid to a wayside inn in England. The musical explores themes of class, equality and first appearances, Simas said. “I just love the music so much,” he said. “The

‘Man with a Load of Mischief’ cast members Randall Dodge, Robert Yakko and Jacquelyn Ritz COURTESY OF NORTHCOASTREP.ORG music is really quite romantic; there’s a lot of intrigue to it. I think the story is interesting.” With music by John Clifton, “Man with a Load of Mischief” originally opened in 1966 off-Broad-

way. The musical starred Reid Shelton, who later portrayed Daddy Warbucks in “Annie,” and Virginia Vestoff, who was most famous for her role as Abigail Adams in the original Broadway production of

“1776,” a role she reprised in the film adaptation. Simas, who has directed more than 100 productions, first produced “Man with a Load of Mischief” in 1991 while teaching in the Bay Area.

“I’m probably the only person in the world who has directed two productions of ‘Man with a Load of Mischief,’” Simas said. “ I really loved it and had a great time with it. Audiences really enjoyed it. It was a great experience for all of us who worked on it.” Opening Sept. 7, “Man with a Load of Mischief” is Simas’ eighth show at North Coast Repertory Theatre. The San Diego resident said he is excited to launch the local theater’s new season with one of his favorite musicals. “I feel really quite privileged. It’s my pleasure to introduce North Coast audiences to this piece,” Simas said. “I’m particularly excited to see how audiences respond to it here because I haven’t done it in 22 years. I had a good experience with it and audiences really liked it, but if there’s no name recognition, if you’re not going to see “The Sound of Music,” “My Fair Lady,” “Oklahoma!” or any of the other well-known shows, they

don’t come with an expectation. “I think a lot of people go to musicals because they know the title. They go in knowing the story. I’m interested to see how the audience will respond to this piece not knowing anything about it.” “Man with a Load of Mischief” plays through Sept. 29 and stars Robert Yakko as “The Man,” Jacquelyn Ritz as “The Lady,” Ron Choularton as “The Innkeeper,” Annie Hinton as “The Innkeeper’s Wife,” Randall Dodge as “The Lord,” and Tatiana Mac as “The Maid.” For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.northcoastrep. org.

Michael ‘Boss Man’ Hardin is the owner of Hodad’s.

Summer Sensation: Hodad’s and Padres at Petco Park BY KELLEY CARLSON here can a person go to revel in America’s favorite pastime while eating at one of the country’s topranked burger joints? Hodad’s at Petco Park. Situated behind Section 205 on the Toyota Terrace level, this laid-back eatery is an offshoot of the famous Ocean Beach location and offers the same quality. Owner Michael “Boss Man” Hardin is at the Petco site each game day to ensure that Hodad’s standards are met, from the ingredients purchased from local mom-and-pop distributors to the friendly employees. Those standards are pretty high — CNN recognizes Hodad’s as one of the top five burger joints in the nation. It’s also a favorite of Guy Fieri, star of “Diners, Driveins and Dives” on the Food Network. Having been featured on episodes of “Diners,” Hardin is often recognized by customers. He has tattoos on much of his body, including a burger on his leg and “BOSS MAN” etched on his knuckles; wears earrings and sports a blond “soul patch.” Patrons enjoy chatting with Hardin, who obliges when asked to pose for photos. His casual, happy-go-lucky approach carries over into his restaurant, named for “a non-surfer who spends time at beaches masquerading as a surfer.” There’s no reason to be hasty here; as the slogan points out, “It’s not life or death, it’s lunch or dinner.”

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

Hodad’s Single Bacon Cheeseburger Baseball fans won’t miss any of the game; there are seven flat-screen TVs around the dining room and bar area. If the Chargers are playing, one or two monitors may be dedicated to the NFL action. Hodad’s has its fair share of Padres logo paraphernalia on display — including surfboards that hang from the ceiling — but it also exhibits keepsakes from customers, namely license plates. In one corner is a bus that’s converted into a booth — the place to sit, Hardin said. During daylight hours, nearly every table has views of San Diego Bay and the San Diego-Coronado Bridge. When it comes to the Hodad’s cuisine,

Hardin is a seasoned pro, a secondgeneration “Burgermeister,” who has been in the business since his parents opened an eatery in El Cajon in 1969. As the website states, there have been “under 99 gazillion (Hodad’s burgers) sold.” He guarantees the food is fresh. In fact, “my dad (Byron) would say, ‘If these burgers were any fresher, I’d slap them,’” Hardin said with a chuckle. All of them are dressed with mayonnaise, mustard, onion slices, ketchup, pickles, tomatoes and lettuce, unless otherwise specified, and grilled onions can be added. The sizes of the juicy patties vary, from the Mini Cheeseburger to the Double Bacon

Cheeseburger. The latter is so huge, employees warn customers about its enormity. But many people are up for the challenge, anyway. They arm themselves with a stack of napkins and a fork, and possibly a partner. “My dad told me that 90 percent of your taste buds are in your eyeballs,” Hardin said. Part of what makes a Hodad’s burger unique are the bacon patties (rather than strips) that top the beef. The bacon is boiled for 1.5 hours to remove the fat and then cooked until crispy. Another specialty is the Guido Burger, inspired by Fieri. It’s a pastrami burger covered with ketchup, pickles, Swiss cheese, grilled onions and spicy brown mustard. Not a meat eater? There’s grilled cheese or a Veggieburger, aka Unburger, which consists of all the toppings but no beef. For those who prefer no bread, lettuce wraps instead of buns are available. For sides, customers can order large stacks of crispy, golden onion rings and thick-cut fries with a hint of spice. Beverages include sodas, beer, wine and shakes covered with whipped cream and a squirt of chocolate. While many guests are content to lounge in Hodad’s, they’re welcome to sit down at a table, order, and then take their meals back to their stadium seats. PCL Bar & Grill also serves Hodad’s fare.

San Diego Musical Theatre presents ‘Ain’t Misbehavin” BY KRISTINA HOUCK Swing into the Harlem Renaissance with San Diego Musical Theatre’s production of “Ain’t Misbehavin’: The ‘Fats’ Waller Musical Show,” opening Sept. 27 at Birch North Park Theatre. Capturing the golden age of jazz in 1920s and 1930s Harlem, the musical revue features the tunes of Thomas “Fats” Waller, a jazz pianist, composer and singer from the era. “I’d love for the audience to take away a piece of our African American history and music, which is a dying platform,” said director and choreographer Ron Kellum, who has worked in the entertainment industry for 25 years. “Whether you know

Waller’s music or not, you’re going to hear music that has inspirat i o n , great stor ytelling a n d m o v e s the soul. I want to introduce Rufus Bonds Jr. or reintroduce COURTESY PHOTO the audience to the African American songbook that we don’t get to hear often.” After a stint at the Manhattan Theatre Club, “Ain’t Misbehavin’” opened on Broadway in 1978 at the Longacre Theatre. The Tony Award-winning musical features more than two-dozen song-and-

dance numbers. “Every community has a story,” said Kellum, who is currently directing “Chicago” at Wells Fargo Pavilion in Sacramento. “It dials us into being more open, understanding and appreciating our diversity. That’s what theater does. It really helps us look at things in a way we may not have seen them or heard them before.” This is Kellum’s second time directing the musical. He first directed the show seven years ago in Los Angeles. San Diego Musical Theatre’s production of “Ain’t Misbehavin’” features five actors, including four Broadway stars. “They really have to be triple threats — amazing

Feel Like You’re Walking on Nails? Do you suffer from: • Pain when you walk • Numbness, Prickling or Tingling Sensations or Burning Pain in the feet or hands • Difficulty Sleeping due to leg and foot discomfort • Extreme Sensitivity to touch • Sharp Electrical-like Pain • Leg or Foot Cramping These are common symptoms of

dancers, incredible actors and great movers. Their responsibility is to translate this music through song and dance,” Kellum said. “We took our time to really find the right five. It’s all about their chemistry and their synergy. I’m excited to work with this caliber of amazing talent.” Kellum has worked with a few of the actors before, including Rufus Bonds, Jr., who plays Ken. The pair collaborated on a production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” in the early ’90s and have been friends ever since. “I’m very, very happy to be working with him again,” said Bonds, Jr., who has starred in “Rent,” “Once on This Island” and

“Parade” on Broadway, and performed in national tours of “The Lion King,” “The Color Purple” and “Miss Saigon.” “It’s going to be a blast!” Bonds, Jr. first portrayed Ken in “Ain’t Misbehavin’” in the 1980s. “The music is very upbeat; it’s a lot of fun,” he said. “It’s a feel-good musical. People leave feeling wonderful. It’s a time when

we need that.” With musical direction by Don LeMaster, San Diego Musical Theatre’s production of “Ain’t Misbehavin’ also stars Sylvia MacCalla as “Nell,” Jenelle Randall as “Charlaine,” Amber Mercomes as “Armelia” and David LaMarr as “Andre.” “Seeing these five incredible singers on stage singing great music with an incredible jazz component is sort of a love letter to that catalog and to that period,” Kellum said. “Ain’t Misbehavin” opens Sept. 27 and runs through Oct. 13 at Birch North Park Theatre, 2891 University Ave, San Diego.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Mossy BMW of Vista celebrating anniversary with special offers, services • New 3 Series Diesel recently introduced BY KATHY DAY Anniversaries always make for special occasions, so leave it to Mossy BMW of Vista to ramp up the celebration. Through Labor Day, the dealership is marking down every vehicle on its lot at 1715 Hacienda Drive – including the new 3 Series Diesel, which just came out on Aug. 15. Brian Kennedy, general manager of the Mossy dealership that opened a little more than a year ago, calls the car “revolutionary.” “The 3 Series has been on Car and Driver’s 10 best list for 22 years,” he said recently, adding that the newest model brings a diesel engine that gets 45 miles per gallon – “equal to a Prius” – and the performance and handling BMW drivers seek. While Kennedy can talk with great knowledge about the new model and those on the horizon, including an allelectric Bimmer in seven to eight months as well as a 5 Series diesel and new X5s and 4 Series cars, he gets quite animated talking about BMW of Vista’s customers. “We have had a really surprising number of repeat customers,” he said. “For only being open a little more than a year, we’ve had some buy two or three cars already. It’s because of how they’re treated.” The staff of sales and service people – which has expanded in the past year to keep up with demand – prides itself on getting to know their customers by spending a lot of time with them. “We’ve had a good response to our complimentary car washes that we offer Monday through Saturday,” he added. “It gives us a chance to stay in contact with customers, some

They can also take part in regular customer appreciation events that give them a chance to share stories with other BMW drivers and get to know the staff. And now that Mossy customers around the county are learning that the company has BMW in its family, they are drawing prior Mossy buyers to the North County location. This week, as the anniversary celebration continues, customers can enjoy food from San Diego’s best food trucks and enter drawings that include a grand prize trip to BMW Performance Driving School in Spartanburg, S.C., which is also home to the carmaker’s SUV manufacturing facility. Other prizes include golf goodies and “all sorts of fun stuff,” Kennedy said. While Kennedy loves being at work, he also enjoys being involved in the community, he said. “We do quite a bit of charity work in Vista as well as in Rancho Santa Fe.” North County’s Solutions for Change, which helps homeless families, is a major recipient of their efforts while Congressman Darrell Issa’s children’s foundation is another. Kennedy is also involved with Rancho Santa Fe’s youth soccer program. BMW of Vista is located adjacent to Highway 78, where buyers can find hundreds of new and pre-owned cars in inventory. It is part of the Mossy family of dealerships, a business that began in 1921 in New Orleans and came to San Diego in 1982. Visit them at 1715 Hacienda Drive, Vista 92081 or go to www.bmwofvista.com.

Series puts van Gogh and Cezanne in the spotlight Art historian Linda Blair will present a four-lecture series titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vincent van Gogh & Paul CĂŠzanne,â&#x20AC;? 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Sept. 10, 17, 24 and Oct. 1 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. The discussions will examine their art, the role of art in their lives, and the possible relationship between their burdened personalities and the art they produced. For both artists, Paris was the crucible where they defined their artistic vision and refined their technical skills, yet ultimately the tumult and temptations of the city forced these two psychologically fragile painters to flee to the south of France, and there, in the sunbaked towns and lavender fields, each produced his greatest art. Despite the shared geography of Provence, Van Gogh and Cezanne distained each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, and indeed, their art differs dramatically â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in color, form, treatment of space and brushwork. Both artists shed light on the creative process â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Van Gogh due to the vast documentation provided by his letters, and Cezanne due to his stark and limited personality. The series is $50 for members, $70 nonmembers. Individual lectures are $14/$19. Register at (858) 454-5872 or ljathenaeum.org/lectures

As many dismiss the artist as a penniless madman, a frequenter of prostitutes, and a soon-to-be-forgotten artist of trifling quality who took his own life in a moment of insanity, his brother Theo (Jean-Michel Richaud) tells his own version of the story in an attempt to set the record straight.

BY ROB LEDONNE When you have one of the most ubiquitous last names in music and your father is considered a legend, it stands to reason that it would be tough to carry on such a potent legacy. Ziggy Marley, however, has carved out a niche for himself over the past few decades as one of the most familiar and successful faces in reggae music today, dominating the genre up to present day. “Love is my religion. That kind of wraps up who I am,” Marley explained of his continued success from his Southern California home, which also happens to be the title of one of his most famous songs. Today, he’s gearing up for what’s becoming an annual seasonending performance at the Del Mar Racetrack on Aug. 31. “We always get a big crowd in Del Mar. I love performing in Southern California; this is where I met my wife, after all.” Family has been a major component of Marley’s life, which goes against the cliched grain of hard-partying performers who lead a hectic life on the road. “I have six children. My youngest is 2 and the oldest is 24. I was very young

when I had my first child, so I have learned a lot since then,” Marley said. By all accounts, Marley is a devoted father who spends as much time as he can with his kids while touring North America. “This past summer, they all came up to Canada and Mexico with me for my shows. They’ll be coming to Del Mar too; when they’re out of school they like to tag along,” Marley notes, saying that even his youngest is aware of his father’s fame. “They know, they see me up there on stage and join me

sometimes, which is fun.” Marley’s children have made a major mark on his creative endeavors as well. This past March, he released his first children’s book titled “I Love You Too,” which is also an extension of his love mantra. In addition, Marley has also become something of an entrepreneur. His website, www.ZiggyMarleyOrganics. com, features a plethora of Ziggy-branded items such as coconut oil and hemp seeds. That’s not to forget his music, which has earned Marley five Grammys and counting; this past February, he performed on the telecast alongside Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Sting, and his brother Damien in tribute to his late father Bob. “I still really enjoy performing live,” explained Marley, who has been rocking out on stage since he was a kid as part of The Melody Makers. “It’s the best forum for me to express myself.” Lately, Marley has also found social media to be a turning point in expression for his career and the music industry in general. “I like Twitter. It gives me more forms of commu-

nication to create more friendships with my fans around the world, and to share things with people,” Marley says. “ I don’t go crazy on it, but it definitely brings us all closer together. Especially for me being an independent artist, I’m not on TV or in popular magazines all the time, so expression through social media is important.” Marley also has a monthly radio show on Sirius to express himself. “It’s pretty awesome, but I’m so shy about it because it’s so different than making music,” he says of the talk show where he plays reggae tunes. “I took it on because I was afraid of it.” Next year, Marley is releasing a new album of tracks that him and his band are recording right now. “I just really like the music we’re making, it’s a very exciting thing what’s happening now in reggae music,” he notes. “We’re trying to push the envelope.” Catch Ziggy Marley and his band perform at the Del Mar Racetrack on Saturday, Aug. 31.

Nature ambassadors needed: San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy announces fall docent training Thousands of people explore the trails of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve each year. Many of these visitors are guided into nature with trained volunteer naturalists. Naturalists reveal the beauty and mysteries of wetlands: pointing out a fanciful butterfly, mule deer rustling in streamside habitat, or identifying the call of an endangered bird. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy announces its Docent Open House on Sept. 8 and Fall Docent Training for leading science-based school field trips and public walks in 2014. The eight-week training covers the ecology and history of the reserve. Docent training also offers practical tips in interpretive techniques and how to lead groups of students and adults. “San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy’s environmental education program is expanding and we need volunteers to join our core of docent-naturalists,” said Doug Gibson, executive director and principal scientist with the conservancy. “We are extremely grateful to our dedicated docents. These volunteers are ambassadors of environmental stewardship by connecting people of all ages with one of San Diego’s largest and most diverse coastal wetlands.” Since the founding of San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy more than 25 years ago, docents have interpreted the wonders of San Elijo Lagoon for visitors from around the world. The conservancy is a

non-profit organization dedicated to conservation, interpretation, and public enjoyment of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. The reserve of nearly 1,000 acres is located between Cardiff-by-the-Sea and Solana Beach, extending inland from historic Pacific Coast Highway to Rancho Santa Fe. The Docent Open House will be held on Sunday, Sept. 8, from 3-5 p.m. Learn about the 2014 docent-naturalist program, see photos and tools of interpretation, and meet current and prospective volunteers. Refreshments will be served. Free. San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center is located at 2710 Manchester Avenue, Cardiff-by-the-Sea. More information and to RSVP: SanElijo.org/Docent-Training. How to Apply Apply by Sept. 20: Applications are online at SanElijo. org/Docent-Training.

The Bridges reaches milestone of Letters to the Editor/Opinion Non-profit organizations only 10 memberships remaining When a golf course has challenged the likes of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and Ernie Els in epic golf “battles” on international television, not everyone can picture that clubhouse as a casual daily gathering place for friends and family. Nor might you imagine that course as a place where grins and handshakes after the final putt mean more than any scorecard. But that warm neighborly camaraderie is the very reason The Bridges in Rancho Santa Fe has experienced a recent surge in new members that has brought the Club close to completing its goal of selling all available equity memberships. “We’re down to our final 10,” said The Bridges General Manager Sean McCune. “Our members have created a welcoming

Again this year the RSF Community Center held their “Community Connection Day” (Aug. 26), bringing information of the many non-profit clubs in the village to our residents. The RSF Republican Women, Fed., established in May 1960, has a mission of education; knowing that the form of government a country has determines the freedoms you may or may not enjoy. We called the Community Center to ask if our group could be included as we, too, are a non-profit. We were welcomed to join other organizations including: RSF Rotary; RSF Library Guild; RSF Foundation; Country Friends; RSF Toastmasters and others for the Connection Day. Hours later, we were politely disinvited and informed that the Community Center’s bylaws did not allow them to permit any political or religious organization to participate in Community Center functions such as the gathering on Monday.

with school parents attending Connection Day. They have the most at stake in helping to determine the future of our country for their children. We do believe that, as Americans, we deserve the form of government for which we are willing to work, that being as Benjamin Franklin said in 1787, “A republic… if you can keep it.” Many people may remember when “Religion” or “Politics” were taboo subjects in polite society. Many may also remember the days before cell phones and 21st century cutting-edge technology. Some can recall reading about our unique Constitution, our Bill of Rights —something about freedom of speech. Most of us well know the countries past and present where the mere discussion of politics and/or religion (if different from the government’s view) would put your life in jeopardy. That fact is a driving force in the RSF Republican Women, Fed. club. Our organization, open to all Republican women and men, is celebrating its 53rd year in the Ranch. We inform our event attendees about issues facing our country by bringing notable speakers such as: Astronaut and former Ranch resident Wally Schirra; Medal of Honor recipient Walter Ehlers; Adm. Elmo Zumwalt; Gen. Victor Krulak; MajGen Charles Bolden; LtCol. Oliver North; Representatives Bachmann, Duncan & Duncan D. Hunter, Hyde, and Shadegg. Additionally, Ward Connerly; Carol Jean Jordan (Past Chairman, Florida Republican Party); Art Laffer; Millie Limbaugh; Phil Mickelson; Star Parker; Anthony Principi; and Mark Mix; as well as other notables have inspired, informed, and entertained us. We also provide indepth vetting of candidates with our annual “Best Party In Town: Candidates’ Forum,” Sunday Oct. 13; and discussions of ballot resolutions. Further, we register voters at the post office/ Stumps breezeway and for 25 years at the County Fair. During election times, we conduct precinct walks in the Village and throughout the county. Also, our board members are certified poll observers through the “Election Integrity Project”: a non-partisan entity that helps assure your vote is

privileged and protected. For the past 19 years, the RSF Republican Women have honored our military past and present at our annual “Salute to America” Memorial Day function. Our club established a RanchVeterans’ Day tribute in 2010. On Nov. 11, we will host a non-political tribute — 11 a.m. at the RSF Golf Club. All veterans, family and friends are welcome. What else? We have for 20-plus years assembled over 100 gift bags each year at Christmastime for women at the SD Rescue Mission. For many years we have cooked and served Easter and Thanksgiving dinners and facilitated in egg hunts at the downtown U.S.O. Additionally, we have donated to the Wounded Warrior Project, the National Right to Work Cmte., the Neil Ash U.S.O., the Navy League and the Military Outreach Ministry. Since 1985 we have donated books to schools and sponsored scholarships. Non-profit? We are definitely. After expenses, monies made from our events go back towards educating/informing citizens; community outreach. We believe in a limited government — “We the People,” not we the government. Further, we believe in our capitalistic economy and republican (small “R”) form of government. Please find out about the RSF Republican Women (and men). You’ll probably feel right at home. While the RSF Community Center states they don’t wish to be associated with political or religious groups, many of their current members and founders are (were) also members of the RSF Republican Women, Fed. club and are affiliated with area churches. That’s a cause for celebration! A thank you to Republican Supervisor Bill Horn who has provided to the Community Center three beautiful white vans. The Center had no trouble in accepting them. Thanks Bill for your military service and your Patriotism. Thank you also to the many Ranch and regional non-profit organizations that continue to make a positive impact on our unique community. Brett Dieterich and Barbara Fullwood, Co-Presidents, RSF Republican Women, Fed.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

BRIDGES continued from page B22 Diego from Toronto and Mexico City, as well as Miami and Dallas.” Combined with one of the best climates in the world, and a classic golf beauty that can only be carved from a land of deep canyons and bold hills near the ocean, The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe has built its reputation as a pinnacle golf experience. Recently Golf Digest honored it with a 2013/2014 “Best in State” ranking, placing it as the top golf venue in San Diego. Yet this excellence hasn’t altered the daily golf experience for members who wish to play whenever

they want, primarily because The Bridges has kept a tight limit on memberships so that walk-on play is not an issue. “And because of our level of privacy, and perhaps the best practice area imaginable, some of the game’s most notable players come to The Bridges to work on their games,” said Director of Golf Steve Wilson. Members also enjoy giving back to the game. Their own sons and daughters hone their game here, and last month The Bridges hosted the American Junior Golf Association’s (AJGA) 2013 Wyndham Cup, an annual competition that attracted the nation’s top 40

junior golfers in an east-versus-west team match-play tournament. Players, their families, and tournament officials enjoyed four days of friendly competition and mixing with residents and members of The Bridges. In addition to the last 10 Equity Golf memberships, The Bridges offers a limited number of Social and National memberships, as well as the new category of Junior membership for those under the age of 40. “All of these complementary categories are enjoying robust growth as well,” noted McCune. For membership information, contact Gordon Cooke at 858-756-8055.
