Relief for poor cellular coverage could be coming to Rancho Santa Fe BY KAREN BILLING A possible expansion of Rancho Santa Fe’s distributed antenna system (DAS) could improve wireless coverage within the Covenant. Several months ago, AT&T requested that the DAS provider ExteNet map out the biggest holes in coverage and field tests were conducted, according to RSF Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler. The Association plans to meet with ExteNet to discuss potential improvements on Sept. 18. At the Sept. 4 board meeting, Holler provided the board with some background on how they arrived at the DAS system. In 2003, the county adopted an ordinance dealing with wireless telecommunication facilities as they were concerned about a proliferation of carriers — the ordinance encouraged cellular facilities to minimize aesthetic impacts in the communities they supported. One component of the ordinance was the development of a wireless community master plan to identify a preferred design or preferred locations for cellular facilities. The Association crafted its master plan in 2006 and from various options selected the implementation of a DAS. The current DAS consists of a maximum of 53 antenna nodes located on existing utility poles throughout the Covenant. The system was designed to provide coverage along the roadways — which is why some areas away from the roads have weak reception, Holler said. Presently there are 46 nodes of the maximum 53 located within the Covenant and three carriers are on the DAS: AT&T, Sprint and R-Mobile. See CELLULAR, page 26
RSF health club and pool proposal to be presented to local groups BY KAREN BILLING The RSF Association Health Club and Pool Committee is making the rounds to several local groups’ meetings as it prepares for an October community-wide vote. The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s committee will present its preliminary plans and figures to the RSF Tennis Club members at the Tennis Club at 5 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 15. On Tuesday, Sept. 16, the committee will present its plans to the Public Interest Committee (PIC) at the RSF Golf Club at 8 a.m. and to the RSF Golf Club membership at 5 p.m., also at the club. The committee will ask the RSF Association board to approve the ballot language for the October vote at the RSF Association’s Oct. 2 meeting, which will be held at 6 p.m. at the RSF Association office. The community will be voting on whether to send the plan to a $350,000 professional planning phase. The members would have a month to vote, during which time there would be some community forums on the topic, tentatively scheduled for Oct. 16 and 17. RSF Association Director Rochelle Putnam said the key in balloting is making sure the community understands the revenues and expenditure assumptions. Health Club and Fitness Committee Chair and Association Director Heather Slosar said she agrees, but noted that until the facility is fully, professionally planned, the figures are just estimates. She said the committee is doing its best to stay transparent and keep the community informed throughout the process, gathering as much input as it can along the way.
ALS Bucket Challenge at RSF Golf Club The golfing ladies of Pauma Valley Country Club recently challenged the ladies of RSF Golf Club to the ALS Bucket Challenge, a fun and quirky campaign created by the ALS Association to raise funds for its research and fight against ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

San Dieguito Union High School District superintendent contract extended to 2017 BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board approved its new contract through 2017 for Superintendent Rick Schmitt at its Sept. 4 meeting, although it was not unanimous. Trustee John Salazar voted “no.” “It has nothing to do with performance,” Salazar explained, noting he gave Schmitt a very high evaluation and said that he enjoys working with him. Salazar said one of his reasons for voting against the contract is that with seven candidates running for three available spots on the board in November’s election, he thinks that the board should wait until after the election to approve Schmitt’s contract. Salazar also said he is opposed to public employees having contracts. Trustee Barbara Groth said Salazar’s comments were “interesting”— she said it sounded like his decision was based on personal philosophy while “based on reality, a three-year contract is a public show of confidence” and an appropriate thing to do. According to SDUHSD Board President Joyce Dalessandro, Schmitt received an outstanding evaluation and received the highest praise for a smooth transition in his first year as the district’s leader. “I was blessed to have inherited a district already on an incredible arc,” Schmitt said. Schmitt said his goals moving forward are to continue to keep the board well informed, to let his assistant superintendents run their departments, to listen to and engage the community, create the best educational plan for students, and continue to be conservative in budgeting. The assistant superintendents’ contracts were also renewed, again with Salazar voting against them.

RSF Association Board Biz: Preserving the beauty of the Covenant; Broadband roundtable BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD “To preserve and enhance the historic, rural character and ambience of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant community.� That is the mission statement for the RSF Association’s Board of Directors. I’m not sure when it was written, but I think it captures so well all of our hopes for the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant. While always being respectful of our history and tradition, we try to bring amenities to our community that will make it vibrant and attractive for generations to come. I have talked a lot recently about the amenities in the Covenant that we are considering adding or enhancing, such as cell service, high-speed internet coverage and health club. But the work of preserving our beautiful Covenant goes on every day in many important ways and I thought now would be a good time to talk about that. Our Parks and Recreation department maintains nearly 60 miles of trails, arguably our most desirable asset. And their work goes way beyond trails. In addition to maintaining the landscaping along all the roadways, the crews maintain over 100 acres of open space as well. That includes the Osuna Ranch, the Arroyo property and the Ewing Preserve. This summer, spurred on by the fires that broke out in May, the department has been working to clean up the river basin all the way from Zumaque to El Sicomoro, a distance of about three miles. As a regular annual project, the department head Arnold Keene works closely with the RSF Fire Department to target dead and dying trees along our major thoroughfares. These trees not only pose potential hazards in terms of fuel for fires but also threaten to block evacuation routes in case of emergency if one were to fall across a roadway. Arnold works every year with the CSD to procure funding for this big tree-removal project. This year, over 35 large dead-or-dying trees have been identified for removal. You will soon see the crews working along Via de la Valle, Linea del Cielo and La Granada. Such a big

water sources for the golf course. One of the highlights of the day will be our Broadband roundtable discussion in which we will be examining the options for bringing high-speed internet service throughout the Covenant. We have invited several Covenant members who are experts in the telecommunications world, as well as representatives from major service providers. The agenda for this meeting is posted. All members are welcome to attend. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at ann.boon@me.com.
RSF Fire District submits application to reorganize with Elfin Forest/Harmony Grove Ann Boon project takes about eight weeks every year. To protect our individual homes as well as the community, each one of us should be consulting with the Fire Department or a tree service to identify hazardous trees and other potential fuel for fire on our own property — and remove the hazards as soon as possible! Please call the Association office if you need any advice on how to proceed. 858-756-1174. On Thursday, Sept. 11, the RSF Association board will be holding its annual retreat. During this all-day meeting, we will be discussing important items such as: the future of the Osuna property; the proposed Health Club project; membership and financial issues for the Golf Club and the Tennis Club; and alternative
The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District Board of Directors, on behalf of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) and in cooperation with County Service Area 107 (CSA 107), which encompasses Elfin Forest and Harmony Grove, has filed an application with San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) requesting the two agencies be reorganized so that CSA 107 would be included in the RSFFPD’s service area. The reorganization would improve the delivery of fire protection, emergency medical, fire prevention, and public education services for all communities within service area. The Board of Directors directed Fire Chief Tony Michel to submit the LAFCO application to start the negotiation with the County of San Diego for the potential reorganization of the district. “It will benefit not only the residents of Harmony Grove and Elfin Forest, but also those residing within the Fire District as it exists now by improving fire prevention and safety services as well as creating opportunities for common community outreach, education and preparedness programs,� said
board member John Tanner. Fellow board member Tucker Stine added that “the reorganization of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District to join forces with Elfin Forest’s Volunteer Fire Department is truly a remarkable initiative. Not only can we increase our resources, lessen response times and combine our expertise, but it enables our residents much greater access to safer communities during fire seasons. We are looking forward to this endeavor.� Frank Twohy, Fire Chief for and longtime resident of Elfin Forest, agreed. “The Elfin Forest/Harmony Grove Fire Department and our Board of Directors have long felt that reorganization with the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District would be a very good thing. It is the next logical step in improving fire protection and emergency response to our communities. We could not have a better agency to become a part of than the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District.� The concept of merging CSA 107 with the Fire District has been discussed for years.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 - PAGE A3
High school district kicks off a variety of Popular TPHS athletic Prop AA-funded projects over the summer trainer may be reinstated BY KAREN BILLING “New and improved” is a description that can be applied to many San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) campuses after a round of projects funded by Prop AA took off this year. The school board held a facilities workshop on Sept. 4 to hear a project report on what the district accomplished during the summer — and the many more upgrades yet to come. “This was the busiest summer ever for this district,” said Eric Dill, assistant superintendent of business services. “There is over $47 million in ongoing projects right now.” Over the summer there were three media center remodels; technology upgrades across the board; work started on a new science building at Torrey Pines High School and on the new joint library space at Earl Warren Middle School; a new middle school in Pacific Highlands Ranch is under construction and they were even able to create space for new physical education facilities at Torrey
Pines High School. The district plans to issue its second bond draw, a total of $125 million, in spring 2015. As the district readies for Series B, Dill said they are looking to shift some of the projects in their construction timeline to address the highest priorities — some projects will move up to be completed earlier, some will be pushed back to later. “The focus is on academic buildings. (Projects such as) technology upgrades in classrooms, balancing enrollment demand with capacity at the academies and new and renovated science classrooms,” Dill said. “The idea is that academic classrooms really touch every student whereas specialty items are a little more limited. We thought it was important to get classrooms ready and focus on what Prop AA was really intended to do.” The original financing plan remains about the same for 2015, with $76 million worth of projects,
but in 2016 is where there is the biggest difference, from a proposed $5.8 million to a proposed $37.5 million, reflecting the moving up of the building expansion at Canyon Crest Academy and a new two-story classroom at San Dieguito Academy to address capacity needs. In 2016, the district also plans to design the second classroom building for Middle School No. 5, to be ready to construct if needed in 201719. Russell Thornton, the high school district’s chief facilities officer, gave an overview of the various projects that began this busy summer. Local school projects included: At Earl Warren Middle School, demolition of Warren Hall was complete in three days and they are digging footings now for the new data center. At Torrey Pines High School, the new weight room should be complete in November — the site of the old weight room will be the new science building. Over See PROJECTS, page 26
BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School parents were recently successful in lobbying for the reinstatement of their athletic trainer Christina Scherr. The San Dieguito Union High School District contracts out for its school athletic trainers and Scherr had been released by contractor Rehab United over the summer. Parents spoke out in support of Scherr, whom they believed to be a valuable and trusted member of the athletic program. At the Sept. 4 San Dieguito Union High School District board meeting, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Eric Dill reported that the district had worked with Rehab United to offer Scherr her position back. Dill said that on Sept. 3 he met with parent members of the Torrey Pines High School and La Costa Canyon Foundations, Torrey Pines High School Principal David Jaffe, several coaches, and Bryan Hill, the owner of Rehab United. “It was an opportunity for Mr. Hill to hear directly
the concerns the parents had. The conversation was very lively,” Dill said. At the conclusion of the meeting, Dill met with Jaffe and Hill, and Hill indicated that after hearing the parents’ voices he was open to reinstating Scherr. “Our head football coach Ron Gladnick was adamant in his support for Christina. Parents whose children had been treated by Christina over the years inundated the trustees, the district and the school with supportive emails,” said parent Tim Pickwell. “For now it appears that our concerns have been addressed and a well-respected member of the Falcon athletic community is going to be rehired. We’re very pleased.” According to Dill, the district and Rehab United are still working on some contract details and possibly removing some items from the contract that had been of concern to the parents. The funds to pay the trainers come from the Torrey Pines High School Foundation boosters and the district outsources the trainer
contracts. One big parental concern was that the district has never informed them that athletic trainers are contractually obligated to refer injured athletes to Rehab United. The athletic trainer contract with Rehab United includes an item on referrals, reading “in the event an injury screen or referral to physical therapy is necessary or advisable, the athletic trainer certified independent contractor will support Rehab United and refer students to the nearest Rehab United facility.” The contract states that Rehab United will pay the trainer 15 percent for referrals of certain services. At the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board’s August meeting, parent Carrie Pickwell said she would be appalled if anyone handed her a business card at the school. “It is highly unethical,” she said.

Community Design Review changes so far are a success BY KAREN BILLING Changes to the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Covenant Design Review Committee process have already seen positive results and more improvements are on the way. Building Commissioner Robert Green told the Association board at their Sept. 4 meeting that since they have opened up CDRC members to the public, they had over 10 people for one item at their last meeting. The new process of having the applicant in the room during CDRC deliberations has also been well received. “I’ve noticed in the two meetings we’ve had there’s been a real feeling of collaboration because the applicants can hear everything that’s said. It’s helpful in their understanding (of the issues),” Green said. “This is not to say that the process before didn’t have desirable results.” Director Philip Wilkinson was complimentary of the increased collaboration of the proSee DESIGN, page 22

Traffic collision knocks out power to parts of RSF On Friday, Sept. 5, at 8:22 p.m., firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) and Encinitas Fire Department responded to the report of a traffic collision in the 1700 block of Via de Fortuna. When they arrived on the scene, rescue crews found a black sedan had collided into a utility pole, shearing it off at the base and cutting off power to the surrounding area. The vehicle sustained damage but the driver was uninjured. There were no other passengers. SDG&E was able to repair the pole and restore power to the area by mid-day on Saturday.
RSF Community Center provides support to RSF Fire District with recent donation
RSF Intersection Committee returns to work after long layoff BY KAREN BILLING In September 2013, the Rancho Santa Fe Association formed an ad-hoc Intersection Committee to work on evaluating conceptual designs for signalized intersections in the Ranch as an alternative the proposed roundabouts on Del Dios Highway/Paseo Delicias. Since that time, the committee has only met once and work was temporarily suspended due to staffing changes at the Association. As the Association has hired Larry Roberts to replace associate planner Chris Livoni, one of his first tasks was to get to jump-start the Intersection Committee. According to Roberts, design consultants are updating their drawings for the traffic signal alternatives at the intersections of El Camino Del Norte, La Valle Plateada/El Montevideo and Via de la Valle. He hopes that the committee will be able to meet to review the design progress sometime in September. The county continues to process the project’s environmental impact report.
RSF Finance Committee finally gets a charter BY KAREN BILLING After several years of the finance committee wanting a formal charter to provide guidance for how they operate, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved the committee’s charter at their Sept. 4 meeting. The charter details the composition, terms, purpose and general duties of the finance committee. Committee duties include reviews of the budget and investment portfolios, monitoring financial performance of the Association’s divisions and reviews of capital expenditures of $5,000 or more and acquisition or sale of real property. The committee’s regular, monthly meetings are open to members of the Association.
BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center recently made a donation to the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Department, with funds coming from the Community Center’s biggest fundraiser of the year, the Moroccan Fantasy Gala in May. The donation is pending approval from the RSF Fire District board and a specific amount will be announced in next week’s Review (Sept. 18). The contribution fits the Community Center’s goal as a nonprofit to serve and support the community, especially an important resource such as the fire department, according to Molly Wohlford, Community Center board president. “We were able to raise a nice amount of money (at the gala) and still be able to give back to the community,” Wohlford told the Rancho Santa Fe Association board at its Sept. 4 meeting. “We’re really proud of what we do at the center and we hope everyone will think about joining as a family.” Wohlford is in her third year as president of the Community Center board. She said she joined the board because she felt it was important to make a difference in the community as the center had done so much for her family when they moved to Rancho Santa Fe in 2009. She said her kids loved spending time at the center and she wanted to ensure there were programs for residents of all ages — she feels that they have accomplished that in the past few years. “This summer’s children’s programs had some of the highest participation we’ve ever had,” Wohlford said, noting some even sold out. “Our fall programs are skyrocketing.” Fall programs include dance, a variety of sports, art, kids’ yoga, surf camp and a new program called the American Food Tour, where children in kindergarten through fifth grade learn about food prep, whipping up American cuisine such as Navajo tacos and blueberry See DONATION, page 18

Top Paralympic skier to speak at Dia Del Sol fashion show benefit •Beach and Country Guild’s 45th annual Dia Del Sol will be held Oct. 14 in support of United Cerebral Palsy of San Diego County BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although she has modeled at the fundraising event in the past, this year Katrina Schaber is dropping the designer duds and sharing her success on the slopes during the Beach and Country Guild’s 45th annual Dia Del Sol on Oct. 14, which benefits United Cerebral Palsy of San Diego County. “It’s been amazing to be involved with Dia Del Sol,” said Katrina, who has cerebral palsy. From competing in local ski races to the World Cup stage, Katrina brought home six medals this season, including one gold. “It helps raise awareness about cerebral palsy and helps raise funds so that United Cerebral Palsy can continue to do research.” Katrina first skied when she was just 4 years old. Now 17, she recently placed in the top 10 in the World Cup circuit — her first endeavor — and is now ranked third in the United States Paralympic Alpine Skiing Women’s Standing Division. “It’s just been crazy this past season,” said Katrina, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy. “It’s been a whirlwind of adventures, and every time I click into my skis, I have a feeling I can do more and I can push it more.” With her eyes now on the Pyeongchang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games, Katrina is taking time off from studying and training to share her story during Dia Del Sol. “She is a huge proponent of Dia Del Sol,” said guild president Kristin Baldi. “She says wonderful things about the guild and how being involved in the fashion show gave her the confidence to pursue her dream. Now she’s on the Paralympic team and has won a bunch of medals.” The guild has supported United Cerebral Palsy for 45 years. From assisting someone in finding their first job, to creating support groups for families, United Cerebral Palsy’s mission is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people affected by cerebral palsy. “It is such a great organization,” Baldi said. “They are really focused on the cause and really impact people’s lives.

Courtesy photo Katrina is just one example of the many they have impacted.” With a “Speakeasy” theme, this year’s event will feature a gourmet luncheon, silent and live auctions, and a fashion show with several local designers and boutiques, including C. Wonder, Halston, Maggie B, Mister B, Max Mara, Nicole Miller, Scotch and Soda, and Ted Baker. There will also be a children’s fashion show, featuring children with cerebral palsy. Live auction items include a six-night stay at a Baja California resort, seven-night Mediterranean cruise, a jet flight and wine tasting experience in Napa Valley, dinner for six pre-
pared by Rancho Santa Fe Firefighters at the station, a cocktail soiree for 20, and more. “You get to have fun and you get to do something good,” Baldi said. Dia Del Sol takes place from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 14 at The Grand Del Mar, 5300 Grand Del Mar Court, San Diego. Tickets cost $150 for general seating and $250 for Champagne Circle seating.

RSF Historical Society acquires Covenant founder’s ledger; To be unveiled at ‘Coffee On the Patio’ The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society has acquired the ledger of Barton Millard, which dates back to the 1920s, and will unveil it at Coffee On The Patio Saturday, Sept. 20, at 10:30 a.m. at La Flecha House. Millard was a founding member of the Rancho Santa Fe Association, co-wrote the initial CC&Bs, and served four terms as its president. Millard’s grandson, Pete Ragan, will discuss his recollections of his grandfather, who also worked on laying out the Rancho Santa Fe golf course with Olympian Jim Thorpe. The original Barton Millard house, designed by Lilian Rice, was located on 16 acres overlooking the reservoir. The 14’x 10” ledger covers the two-year period when Millard was building his house starting in 1927 as well as 53 years of grove records. “We are delighted to add this intriguing reference to our archives from one of the Covenant’s founders,” said John Vreeburg, RSF Historical Society president. “lt offers a unique perspective of life in the ranch at that time.” The ledger will be on display at La Flecha House, the Historical Society’s headquarters at 6036 La Flecha and Historical Landmark #1 in the village of Rancho Santa Fe.

DreamKeepers Project celebrating 10th anniversary of providing support for Family Recovery Center •Community encouraged to attend annual Chocolate Event Oct. 13 in Fairbanks Ranch BY KAREN BILLING This year the Rancho Santa Fe-based nonprofit DreamKeepers Project is celebrating its 10th anniversary helping women help themselves. Since 2004, DreamKeepers has been raising funds and awareness for the Family Recovery Center in Oceanside, a residential substance abuse treatment facility that allows women in treatment to keep their children with them as they recover and rebuild their lives. More than just funds and donations, the DreamKeepers provide hope, confidence and a second chance. “The joy you bring me from day to day keeps my dreams alive,” read a thank-you note from one FRC resident. DreamKeepers co-founder and vice president Pat Gregory said the gratitude they receive from the women just pushes the organization to do more. “It’s just grown and grown and grown,” Gregory said of DreamKeepers. “A lot of people are very passionate about the center and it’s amazing how generous people are.” The organization will be hosting its annual Chocolate Event, a membership thank you from 10 a.m. to noon on Monday, Oct. 13, at the home of Jeannie Ranglas in Fairbanks Ranch. The event will feature a cooking demonstration by Chef Claire Allison, owner and executive chef of Claire’s on Cedros in Solana Beach, as well as the organization’s “famous and fabulous” raffle baskets, vendors and an assortment of quiches and
sweets. The Chocolate event is always free for attendees but they do suggest that people bring a donation for the babies and moms at the Family Recovery Center. Suggestions include diapers, baby food, baby books, sippy cups, infant and toddler socks and gift cards to Babies ‘R’ Us or Walmart. DreamKeepers began 10 years ago when Gregory volunteered to bring a clothing donation to the Family Recovery Center. Once she experienced what the center was all about, she wanted to do more. “I wanted to give something back,” Gregory said. She ended up teaching parenting classes at the center and started to see how many needs for basic necessities the center had. She encouraged her friends and neighbors to clean out their closets for a fundraising drive. Those grassroots efforts led to the founding of DreamKeepers with her friend Vera Campbell to keep the project going. Gregory’s friend Sandi Chenoweth got involved at the start and now serves as president of the nonprofit’s board. “I felt like it was a good way to give back to an organization that really needed it,” said Chenoweth, who has been friends with Gregory since they were TWA flight attendants together years ago. “I really loved helping the women and children.” Typically there are 55 women and 40 children under the age of 12 at the Family Recovery Center. The women are usually in rehabilitation for about eight to 12 months. Over the years through DreamKeepers’

They provide educational scholarships, community college classes and a GED program and donations of clothing to Marjorie’s Closet for women to wear for court dates and employment interviews. They’ve provided funds for much-needed maintenance, such as painting, flooring and asphalt repairs with the work done by a volunteer group from North Coast Church as well as provided heartwarming things like layettes for newborns, scrapbooks for moms to preserve memories, shoes for youngsters heading back to school and a storybook hour for the children at the home, a program that has since been taken over by National Charity League See DREAMKEEPERS, page 18

Rocker Steven Tyler to perform at Ronald McDonald House’s annual gala •RSF resident Jennifer Gramins is chair of the Sept. 20 Le Cirque du ROMP BY KATHY DAY Talk to Jennifer Gramins about Ronald McDonald House’s annual gala, Le Cirque du ROMP, and you’ll have no doubt she’s excited about the sold-out event featuring Steven Tyler as guest artist. Yes, that’s Steven Tyler of rock and roll fame, the always spirited leader of Aerosmith and former “American Idol” judge, who will be fresh off the band’s Let Rock Rule”World Tour stop in Nova Scotia when he plays for the fifth annual ROMP fundraiser. Gramins, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and the gala chair, had just left the private club in La Jolla where the Sept. 20 party will be held when she shared details about the gathering of 400 supporters of Ronald McDonald House located across from Rady Children’s Hospital. The event is the largest fundraiser for the facility, which gives families a spot to rest or stay for free while their children are facing life-threatening illnesses. Last year the event brought in $690,000, and Gramins said the goal is always to raise more than the prior year. At this point in the party planning, she says she’s optimistic they’ll achieve that. In the last year alone, Ronald McDonald House served 125,000 family members and was full 96 percent of the time with families who were lodged in private guest suites, according to CEO Chuck Day. Some stay for a few days, which others stay for months at a time. On top of that, the Family Care Center served 150,000 meals and provided a place for a break from the hospital between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. All of the visitors receive not just meals or a spot to cook their own meals, but access to a computer room, rooftop courtyards, recreation areas and exercise facilities. Ronald McDonald House also offers educational programs and classes for both parents and siblings of the ill child. There’s
Steven Tyler Photo courtesy of www.rmhcsd.org also a chapel and a free hair salon. “To me, what Ronald McDonald House does is beyond words,” Gramins said. “I have a healthy child and realize how lucky I am. If there’s anything I can do for those not so lucky, I will.” She’s been involved with the gala for four years, but this is her first time chairing it, with Rebecca Moores and Jennifer Moores as honorary chairs. Pulling together a party for 400 takes a lot of work, but with so many volunteers and sponsors who return each year, the job is a bit simpler. “The staff helps us so much, and the support we get is wonderful,” Gramins said, acknowledging “there are a lot of moving parts.” From planning a VIP meet-and-greet with Tyler before the main event and lining up “an amazing chef” and auc-
tion items, the event takes many hours and tons of dedication. But picking a theme came naturally, she said, because “we have a tent.” So the cirque/circus theme was given to the event designer who has been running with the creative details, though Gramins concedes she’s given some ideas to the designer. “We picked the theme early so it gave us time and leeway to do something with a different flair,” she said. Tyler just adds that extra flair to ROMP, which will also feature other entertainment that is still being finalized. As the date approaches, Gramins said selling out wasn’t a concern but being in an “oversold” position was a bit of a concern. The entertainment isn’t the only excitement of the night. Guests also can bid on an array of silent auction items and live auction treats, such as a Kona Estate getaway for 29, the chance to have a “Ferrari of your very own … for a weekend” and a private jet to Napa and dinner for six at the French Laundry. Gramins, who learned about Ronald McDonald House while living in Chicago, met Mary Drake when she moved to Rancho Santa Fe. Drank chaired the event in 2011 and has recruited many in her footsteps to make ROMP an evening to remember — and one that goes a long way toward helping Ronald McDonald House in its mission to be a “home away from home for families with critically ill or injured children in local hospitals.” For those who haven’t bought a ticket but want to help, ROMP is accepting auction donations until Sept. 18.

ALS Bucket Challenge at RSF Golf Club The golfing ladies of Pauma Valley Country Club recently challenged the ladies of RSF Golf Club to the ALS Bucket Challenge, a fun campaign created by the ALS Association to raise funds for its research and fight against ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease). The challenge is to be doused with a bucket of ice cold water and pay $10 to the ALS Association, or you would have to pay $100 to the charity if you chose not to be doused. This challenge was sent by video to the RSF Golf Club members, and they responded accordingly. The Pauma ladies doused each other with little buckets of water. However, the RSF Golf Club ladies enlisted the club’s cart guys to participate in the dousing. They took fiendish delight in filling large buckets filled with lots of ice and water! Brrrrr! Good fun for a good cause. Check out www.alsa.org for more information. Photos by McKenzie Images. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview.com.

Local resident heads Parkinson’s Institute and Clinical Center BY JOE TASH When Carrolee Barlow was appointed CEO of an organization that researches and treats Parkinson’s disease earlier this year, it was a chance for her to bring together the skills, education and experience she has accumulated over her career. “It’s very much of a coming home for me,” said Barlow, 50, a local resident, of her appointment as CEO of the Parkinson’s Institute and Clinical Center, which is located in Sunnyvale, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Barlow, who has a medical degree from the University of Utah, as well as a Ph.D. in molecular and developmental biology from the Karolinska Medical Nobel Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, has extensive experience in research, drug development and clinical trials. At the institute, she wants to make a difference in the field of neurological diseases, focusing specifically on Parkinson’s disease, which is a progressive, degenerative condition that affects a part of the brain where movement is regulated.
Carrolee Barlow Photo by AmyAnne Photography “To me, the largest unmet medical need is finding solutions for (diseases of) the brain,” she said. “It’s a daunting challenge.” The nonprofit institute that Barlow now heads was founded 25 years ago, and is unique, she said, because its focus is strictly on Parkinson’s, from research, to patient care, to clinical trials. The institute funds its $12 million annual budget through donations and from payments for patient care through private insurance and Medicare, Barlow said. Each year, the institute’s clinic sees about 1,000 patients from the U.S. and for-
eign countries, including some residents of San Diego County. “We’re sort of the Mayo Clinic for Parkinson’s,” she said. Among the most promising avenues for treatment of the disease is development of better measures of the progress of Parkinson’s, which can in turn help in creating drugs to slow down the disease’s march, Barlow said. While she and her colleagues at the institute are excited about research in Europe on treatments that involve transplants of healthy cells into Parkinson’s patients, Barlow was more cautious about an experimental transplant project now underway at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego. Scientists and doctors have harvested skin cells from eight Parkinson’s patients and, through a complex process, converted them into brain cells that produce a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine helps the brain regulate movement in the body, and in Parkinson’s patients, the brain cells that make dopamine die off. The goal of the Scripps project is to in-
ject the dopamine-making cells back into the brains of the Parkinson’s patients. Barlow said researchers need to know more about the potential long-term impacts of this process. “We still don’t know enough to make sure we’re doing this safely,” she said. Parkinson’s disease affects an area in the center of the brain called the substantia nigra, which initiates movement. According to Barlow, researchers aren’t sure exactly what causes the disease, but there are apparently both genetic and environmental factors, such as toxins that can cause damage to the brain. The disease also destroys other types of nerve cells in the body, which can affect patients’ sense of smell, their gastrointestinal
tract, and even their hearts, Barlow said. A number of famous people — such as actor Michael J. Fox and former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno — have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, which has helped focus attention on the disease, said Barlow. In addition, following the suicide in August of comedianactor Robin Williams, Williams’ wife revealed that her husband had recently been diagnosed with early stage Parkinson’s. While many may think of Parkinson’s as a disease that affects the elderly, in fact, the average age of diagnosis is in the early 50s, Barlow said. The good news is that effective treatments do exist, including a synthetic version of dopamine. “With really good care
and intervention, you can have a long and productive life with Parkinson’s,” she said. Although she has headed the institute since mid-February, Barlow continues to split her time between Sunnyvale and Solana Beach, where she resides with her husband, researcher David Lockhart. The two met at the Salk Institute in San Diego, where both were working at the time. Along with her work at Salk, Barlow has also worked for Merck Research Laboratories, and also as chief scientific and chief medical officer for BrainCells, Inc., a biotech company she founded.

volunteers. They’ve provided dishes and blankets for transitional housing, paid for day camps for the children this summer and made sure there’s enough turkey on Thanksgiving. “We’re just kind of the backup,� Gregory said. The Chocolate event is the only event they do all year but on Mother’s Day they also do a direct mail appeal with a focused need for the facility. This year the focus was building up a computer lab that helps prepare women to enter the workforce. Last year they raised funds for a play park for children under 2 at the facility. There are a lot of babies born while women are at the center and they had no place to really be outside, Chenoweth said. The DreamKeepers revamped an old storage area that wasn’t used and transformed it into a play space with a rubberized surface and artificial turf, a ball pit, a caterpillar
climbing structure, benches and picnic tables. The group raised $10,000 for the park and received a generous matching donation from the Bertha family, who had found out about the group at a Chocolate event. The park will be named in her honor at a dedication ceremony on Sept. 17. The park took much longer than they expected to accomplish but they are very happy to see it finally opening so the kids will have a place to play. “It’s beautiful,� Chenoweth said. “It’s our pride and joy this year.� The community is encouraged to attend the Chocolate Event, to meet the DreamKeepers board and hear more about their mission. RSVP by Oct. 8 for the event at 858-756-6993 or email contact@Dreamkeepersproject.org. Find out more about DreamKeepers at dreamkeepersproject.org.
pie. Other new programs for fall include Little Kickers soccer for preschool and kindergartners and mountainboarding, a cross between snowboarding, skateboarding and mountain biking. For adults, the center offers yoga and Jazzercise classes and Friday, Sept. 19, marks the return of the Adult Dodgeball Tournament, which Wohlford said is a lot of fun. Adults have the opportunity to get out a little red ball-aggression and enjoy food and drinks included in the individual and team entry fees. On Friday, Sept. 26, the center will hold its youth version of the dodgeball tournament for third through sixth graders, which includes pizza and drinks for all players. The center is also gearing up for its 21st annual All Fore The Community golf tournament on Monday, Oct. 27, at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The golf tournament is its second biggest fundraiser of the year, helping the center run all of its
programs and maintain its staffing levels. A $350 entry fee includes a round of golf, cart, lunch, swing analysis, prizes, after-party dinner and a hosted bar. Wohlford said that while the RSF Community Center shares a parking lot with the RSF Association, it does not receive any funding from the RSF Association nor does the Community Center receive any federal or state funding. All of the money the nonprofit makes is due to fundraising, sponsorships and memberships. “We work really hard to sustain where we are,� Wohlford said. RSF Association President Ann Boon recently toured the RSF Community Center, visiting youth programs her own children didn’t have a chance to partake in as they didn’t grow up in Rancho Santa Fe. “I’m absolutely amazed at what you do, it’s such a great asset for the community,� Boon said. “The contribution to the fire department is above and beyond the call of duty.� To learn more or register for upcoming programs and events, visit rsfcc.org.
Two stories of adventure coming to RSF Viewpoints event Two men from very different circumstances will share their dramatic stories on Sunday, Sept. 28, in the Fellowship Center of the Village Church. Alepho Deng, one of the “Lost Boys of Sudan,� survived genocide in his native Sudan, nine years in a Kenyan refugee camp in Kenya and a 1,000-mile trek through wartorn Africa before coming to the United States. In America, he has managed to thrive in an environment as foreign to him as his Sudanese background would be to us. Deng is now a best-selling author, speaker and actor. His experiences and insights will both inform and inspire as he shares his life’s journeys. Dr. Jeff Salz’s life as a mountain climber has led to careers as a professional expedition leader, a cultural anthropologist, and a consultant to numerous Fortune 500 companies. In the course of leading extreme climbs and expeditions for the past 40 years, Salz has discovered many things about himself and the world around him. Through humor and poignancy, he will enthrall the audience as he also shares his most important discovery. Deng and Salz often speak to sold-out crowds, and the church is fortunate to be able to welcome them. Together they will entertain as they also share what their journeys have taught them about encountering change and differences in culture, and about surmounting life’s adversities. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served beginning at 6 p.m. The program will begin at 6:30 and will include time for audience questions. Advance ticket pricing of $20 will be available until 5 p.m. Sept. 24. After that, tickets will be $25. Student tickets are available at $10. Tickets may be purchased online at www.villageviewpoints.com or by calling 858-381-8070.

BY MARSHA SUTTON I can’t believe I’m writing about this again. My fourth Marsha Sutton column, written in October of 2003, focused on the mountains of scientific research showing conclusively that early school start times for middle and high school students are harmful for teens. Since then, I’ve written two more columns on the subject, in 2010 and 2013, and referenced the insanity of early start times in numerous other columns, all the while expressing exasperation at the deafening silence from education leaders. But, at long last, change in the San Dieguito Union High School District may be afoot, precipitated by the Aug. 25 release of a yet another study on the subject, this one by the American Academy of Pediatrics. “The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes insufficient sleep in adolescents as an important public health issue that significantly affects the health and safety, as well as the academic success, of our nation’s middle and high school students,” The AAP’s Abstract begins. “[T]he evidence strongly implicates earlier school start times (i.e., before 8:30 a.m.) as a key modifiable contributor to insufficient sleep, as well as circadian rhythm disruption, in this population.” The 24-hour internal body clock, each person’s circadian rhythm, shifts during puberty and alters adolescent sleep settings. This natural shift in teens, according to the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center, is called “sleep phase delay” which delays the urge to sleep. The AAP reported that moving start times later “will align school schedules to the biological sleep rhythms of adolescents, whose sleep-wake cycles begin to shift up to two hours later at the start of puberty.” This change in natural sleep cycles makes it difficult for teens to go to bed early enough to get the recommended nine hours of
sleep they need each night, if they have to contend with an early school start time. According to Mayo Clinic, more than 90 percent of teens in a Journal of School Health study reported sleeping less than nine hours a night and 10 percent of teens reported sleeping less than six hours a night. “A substantial body of research has now demonstrated that delaying school start times is an effective countermeasure to chronic sleep loss and has a wide range of potential benefits to students with regard to physical and mental health, safety and academic achievement,” the AAP report stated. The AAP recommends that school districts adopt later start times, which would help improve the physical health of teens, reduce the risk of obesity, lower rates of depression, improve mental outlook, reduce drowsiness which can result in driving accidents and poor decision-making, increase alertness, raise academic performance, and enhance the overall quality of life for teenagers. San Dieguito reaction “We’re totally aware of this,” said Jason Viloria, SDUHSD’s executive director of educational services. “This is not the first time this recommendation has been made.” Vilora said the AAP report has been shared with all the district’s principals, who have been asked to begin a conversation about the issue with their communities – faculty, parents and students. The report, he said, is “somewhat timely in that all of our schools are looking at different options moving forward.” He said this was a priority even before the AAP study was released. “We can’t just push aside what research says,” he said. “Research says that this is a very important piece of what we should do in education.” The goal is to offer students flexible start times, meaning students can choose to start earlier or later. Under this scenario,
schools may offer a full school day with start times as early as 7:30 a.m. and possibly as late as 9:30 a.m., according to SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt. “This is a big topic of conversation that’s obviously front and center for us, to provide students and families that option,” Viloria said. There is no over-arching policy or position that the district or the school board is adopting, he said. Rather, these decisions are being left up to individual schools. “Right now we want the schools to work with their community stakeholders to figure out what works best for them,” he said. “It’s important that we don’t just say this is what it has to be.” Flexible start times may be implemented by next fall, he said, depending upon how each school site decides to proceed. “I guarantee that there’s going to be a change at each site,” said Viloria, although he wouldn’t say when those changes might happen. He pointed to Diegueno Middle School in Encinitas as a good model for having developed a system of flexible start times that works well.

“We want it to be inviting,” Wilkinson said. “We want to find a way to say yes.” The CDRC will also soon be implementing a new methodology to track projects through the review system from submittal to final decision. “This system is part of an ongoing effort to improve service to members,” Green said. The new system will track the time for staff analysis and CDRC review and track the time that the application is back with the applicant for revision. Green said many jurisdictions track this kind of information to provide an accurate picture of the total processing time. He noted that the Association already does provide a unique service in that upon submission of a project, a hearing date is guaranteed. “No other jurisdiction does this to our knowledge,” Green said. “The hearing date is always either 10 days or 21 days from the date of submission of a project.” Steps and times differ for different types of project, which can be from an entire house to a swimming pool. The new tracking system will allow staff to assess whether a project has cycled through the CDRC application phases more than is typical. “The tracking gives an opportunity to see who’s been back and forth a lot and maybe we can step in and help them,” said President Ann Boon. Acting Manager Ivan Holler said in the event that if an applicant has cycled through more than three times a meeting can be scheduled to sit down and assist the applicant with how to respond to revisions requested by the CDRC. “It wastes everybody’s time to go through this process several times,” Holler said, noting that the CDRC already does make the effort to step in if there are multiple cycles but the tracking process will make it easier to identify when its occurring. Green said that they have only had one or two projects that have done through more than three times.
Rant with Randi: ‘Throw like a girl’ BY RANDI CRAWFORD In the midst of all the terrible news lately, comes a really awesome story. It’s about Mo’ne Davis, pitcher for the Philadelphia Taney Dragons, and the first girl to pitch a shutout in a Little League World Series, ever. She’s the sixth to get a hit in LLWS history, and the first to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Can you say stud? Tons of people have told me they’ve never even watched the LLWS until they heard about Mo’ne. Now, everyone is tuning in to see how far she can take her team. Unfortunately, their winning streak ended last week against Jackie Robinson West, a team from Chicago, but they came in third out of 7,000 teams. I asked my son what he thought about Mo’ne and his response was probably typical, “I wouldn’t like it because she gets all the attention. Do you even know any of the names of the other players, mom?” Okay, I’ll give him that. I don’t know their names, but I do know that this young lady has changed what it means to be “Like a girl” forever. When I was young and played baseball, I was the only girl on the team. The coach, a dad who wanted no part of a chick on his team, quickly traded me to the worst team in the league. My family could have fought to keep me on his team, but we decided that I would be better off where I would be appreciated. If you like a fairy-tale ending, you got it. Because when we played against them, I knocked it out of the park hitting a triple. I never played in Little League after that, because it was just too much pressure with all the dads heckling our team for playing a girl. People back then weren’t tolerant of change and didn’t accept a girl in a “boy’s game.” We, as a society, talk about the “different world” that our kids are growing up in today, but this is a completely different take on that statement. Usually, we’re referring to technology and social media and its impact on our youth. But this story is putting a spotlight on change that’s very positive for our society. We are more tolerant, overall, and that is why Mo’ne was able to shine and show her talents to the world. I don’t believe that opportunity existed 30 years ago. I was on a lacrosse trip this spring with a kid who grabbed a yogurt from the buffet table that was marketed toward women. For some stupid reason, I made the comment, “Oh no, now you’re going to play like a girl.” I’m not sure why I said it, but I immediately felt guilty because I knew it was an insult to girls and it make me sick that I would put down girls for no reason. His father, was quick to say, “What’s wrong with playing like a girl?”, making me feel even worse! A few months ago, I watched a viral video called, “Always#LikeAGirl.” The director brought in kids ages 10 through high school and asked them to perform certain actions. She asked them to run, fight, punch and throw “like a girl.” The older girls mocked themselves, showing weakness and silly behavior. When the younger girls were asked to perform the same actions, they kicked butt. They ran as fast as they could, threw and fought like little beasts. When the director asked a young girl what the statement, “Throw like a girl” meant, she replied, “I’m not sure but it sounds like you are trying to humiliate someone.” When the director pointed this out to the older girls, they felt ashamed and asked if they could have a do-over. Why does a girl’s confidence wane, as she gets older? Is it because she adapts to society’s expectations, while the younger girls don’t know any better so they just do the best they can? Where does that confidence go and how can we get it back? While some will argue that the media are exploiting Mo’ne, I want her message to come through loud and clear. Girls are allowed a seat at the table too. Love this story. Thoughts? Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail. com. LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

“We’re not recreating the wheel here,” he said. “There are plenty of schools out there that have made some shifts toward flexible start times for students.” SDUHSD’s Faculty Association is involved in the process, Viloria said, noting that teachers at Diegueno were on-board with the change, with some wanting to come in early and others preferring to start and end later. Influence of athletics programs After-school activities, particularly athletics, can present a major obstacle to later start times. When sporting events schedules and travel times to away games force students to miss classes at the end of the day (priorities here?), many parents and student-athletes become fiercely resistant to any change that would result in later dismissal times. If parents would apply the same zeal to the need for later start times that they display when they mobilize and lobby intensely over trainers, coaches and other sports issues, imagine what would happen. Viloria said the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF is the governing body for high school sports in California) has left the is-
RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 - PAGE A23
sue of school start and end times up to each school. “I get the sense that CIF doesn’t really want to enter that area,” he said. Clearly that’s the case. By not taking a studentcentered position on the issue and refusing to recognize the problem, CIF has had an undue influence on bell schedules. One student who spent a year in Europe on an exchange program commented on-line on the issue, writing, “Perhaps other countries don’t have as big of a problem with teenager sleep issues in part because other countries don’t overvalue sports in the educational system.” One school district cannot go it alone against CIF on this issue. But there’s hope. Coincidentally and fortuitously, Torrey Pines High School principal David Jaffe is San Diego County’s CIF North County conference president this year, and he said he plans to bring up the issue at upcoming meetings with principals and athletic directors. “Now that this is forefront, it’s a great conversation to have with the group, and I’ll do exactly that,” Jaffe said. “I’ll agendize the item and have a conversation with north county principals regarding that.” Jaffe said there are three or four CIF sections in San Diego County. The north county region encompasses all
high schools north of Scripps Ranch, which includes Poway, San Marcos, Vista, Escondido, Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Dieguito and other communities. Jaffe said his first meeting with the CIF group is this week, Sept. 9. He said he will share the AAP study with the group as background reading material to discuss at a future meeting. “David will advocate for the changes that he needs to help support his school site, as well as our district,” Viloria said. “I think it’s a really important topic,” Jaffe said. Not far enough Flexible start times may be a noble goal, but it doesn’t go far enough. The district’s board – which has historically been silent on the issue, if not downright hostile – needs to take the lead on this. Trustees should make it clear that they at last recognize the conclusive body of evidence showing that later start times are a critical ingredient for higher academic achievement and student health and well-being. San Diego County superintendent Randy Ward could – and should – take a leadership role on this topic as well, directing all county middle and high schools to implement start times no earlier than 8:30 a.m., as recommended by the AAP. But as of press time, Ward has not responded to a call last week for
a statement on this issue. According to SDUHSD’s website, start times at the district’s four high schools currently are: 7:40 a.m. at Torrey Pines, 8 a.m. at Canyon Crest Academy, 7:50 a.m. at San Dieguito Academy, and 7:40 a.m. at La Costa Canyon. Start times for middle schools are: 8:30 a.m. at Carmel Valley, 7:40 a.m. at Earl Warren, 8:30 a.m. at Diegueno, and 7:40 a.m. at Oak Crest. Start times at Torrey Pines many years ago were once an outrageous 7:15 a.m. Determined parents, armed with petitions and solid research, pleaded with trustees to move the start time later, while special interests lobbied to maintain the status quo. Trustees offered a compromise, voting to move the start time to 7:45 a.m. Disappointed parents wanted 8:15 a.m. but settled for a measly 30 minutes after a longfought effort that left them drained of energy and battlefatigued. Torrey Pines now starts at 7:40 a.m. Canyon Crest had an 8:15 a.m. start time until 2010 when school leaders and parents met quietly and decided to move the start time back to 8 a.m. Ostensibly, this was because of traffic issues, but the impetus behind this effort was clearly sports. If traffic
was really the driving force (so to speak), the group would have moved the time forward to 8:30 a.m. The over-riding factor was that the 3:15 p.m. release time forced student-athletes to miss too much of their fourth-period classes in order to arrive at their athletic events on time. Despite the evidence, the board voted 5-0 to support the decision. One board member thought so little of the matter that she didn’t even want it discussed, proclaiming the request “totally reasonable.” Canyon Crest now starts at 8 a.m. Indisputable facts Research indicates that students at schools that start at 8:30 or 9 a.m. are more alert and attentive, perform better academically, test better, have more positive attitudes, are happier, have fewer delinquency and behavioral problems, have decreased rates of illness and tardies, and are less likely to engage in risky behavior after school since school ends later in the afternoon. Some students do well with early start times, certainly, but decades of overwhelming evidence has proven decisively that the majority of teens would reap significant benefit from later start times and more morning sleep. And that includes student-athletes. Early bedtimes and early morning risings are scientifi-
cally shown to be difficult for teens. Delaying school start times is the single, simplest action schools can take to improve student achievement. “Chronic sleep loss in children and adolescents is one of the most common – and easily fixable – public health issues in the U.S. today,” said pediatrician Judith Owens in the AAP report. Owens is the lead author of the policy statement “School Start Times for Adolescents” published in the Sept. 2014 issue of Pediatrics. “The AAP is making a definitive and powerful statement about the importance of sleep to the health, safety, performance and well-being of our nation’s youth,” she said. Yet no amount of proven scientific data seems able to convince reluctant education leaders to take a firm stand on this. This public health issue can only be addressed when courageous leaders find the political will to enact sensible education policy and make a simple change in a system resistant to change that puts student health and academic interests first. Flexible start times are a beginning. Good for San Dieguito staff. At least it gets the conversation going. A mandate from the board is now what’s needed to give the effort some muscle.

Verizon does not participate in the DAS, although it does have a facility on top of the RSF Fire Station and some just outside the Covenant. The DAS is provided through a memorandum of understanding with ExteNet and that MOU is in place through 2017. At that time, Holler said the board would have the opportunity to review if the agreement is still appropriate. Holler said to improve reception, new nodes, either on existing utility poles or new structures. Per the MOU, once the nodes hit the maximum number of 53, ExteNet has to come back before the board for approval of any additional nodes.

LAFCO recognized the service connections and dependencies between the Rancho Santa Fe FPD and the neighboring Elfin Forest/Harmony Grove CSA almost 30 years ago. In 1987, the Commission placed CSA 107 under the sphere-of-influence of the much larger RSFFPD; subsequent LAFCO approvals and studies, which methodically reaffirmed the relationship between the two fire protection agencies, established a de facto plan for improving regional fire protection services by combining the two agencies according to the original LAFCO vision.�

Dill said parents should be able to go and seek any treatment for their children as they deem appropriate and that they district always suggests treatment begins with the family’s personal physician. SDUHSD Trustee Amy Herman said the referrals shouldn’t be so prescripted and perhaps some disclosure was warranted. “The whole experience did educate many of us to the nuts-and-bolts of how athletic trainers are hired and managed in the district,� Tim Pickwell said.
Pickwell suggested that the district convene a meeting with athletic directors, trainers, coaches and assess the best way to deliver athletic training services, study how other districts do it and whether SDUHSD’s contracts should be adjusted. Dill said that it is a good idea because the level of service has changed since they began the athletic trainer program, including the scope of services, the size of the athletic programs and a dramatic increase in the number of athletes they were serving. He said the district would take a fresh look at the program, much like it is
doing with the enrollment at the academies. Several parents said they were told not to attend the Sept. 4 SDUHSD board meeting to discuss the Scherr issue as a resolution was close. During public comment, Mo Muir, a candidate for the SDUHSD board, said she was glad the district met with parents but she felt it would’ve been more appropriate to have had a larger forum, such as a community meeting, where more parents could attend. She reiterated the need for the district to continue looking into the athletic trainer contracts.
PROJECTS continued from page 3 the summer they completed work on a new fire lane, stadium lights and on the PA system — it works so well they already heard from several neighbors about hearing all the action from Friday night’s football game. At Torrey Pines, the district was able to find new PE space “out of nothing� when they worked on cutting the access road and dug out $20,000 worth of soil. Instead of spending $20,000 to haul away the dirt, they were able to fill a slope and pick up a halfacre of land. It will be enough room for a whole new play field, Thornton said. Addleman said they are also working on making Del Mar Heights Road the official entry for Torrey Pines High School with better student access and a landscape renovation. At Canyon Crest Academy (CCA), the big summer project was the balance of the stadium and athletic fields. A new play field is expected to be complete in two weeks, By October CCA will have prac-

tice baseball fields and the varsity baseball fields will be complete in February. At neighboring Middle School 5, Thornton said it changes daily as work progresses quickly on the new 22-story classroom building that will be ready to welcome students by fall 2015. During public comment, Steven McDowell, a candidate for the SDUHSD board, challenged the board about a San Diego County Grand Jury Report that seeks to establish criteria to help voters on bond financing. “Voters need and deserve clear, concise school bond information from the school districts in order to make informed decisions concerning what projects they need to be funded and whether or not the school district is making sound fiduciary decisions,� McDowell said. He was looking for information such as the exact upper limit of the amount borrowed, the maximum interest rate and the repayment schedule. He said the district has also failed to indicate whether it intends to issue bonds again at a premium. At the meeting, Dill
said the district would follow all the rules in place in response to the Grand Jury Report. He reported that Series B would have a debt service of $242 million and a payback ratio of 1.93:1. Dill said that assessed property values leveled out during the recession but saw an uptick in 2013. The highest tax rate projected for this year is $25; the average tax rate is $24.73. “The San Diego County Property Tax Services told us that the tax rate is sufficient to cover our debt service,� Dill said. Next steps for the district include reviewing proposed projects, reviewing assessed value assumptions and determining bonding capacity for the next and future series. A first step will be preparing request for proposals for its financing team. “We want to make sure with every issuance we have the most qualified firms at the best price,� Dill said. After bonds are issued in the spring, the district hopes to start construction on another busy summer in 2015.

Winning start for TPHS freshmen football team BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines Falcon freshmen recently hosted the Mission Hills Grizzlies. Both teams came into the game off of big wins last week, Torrey Pines 41-0 over Sweetwater, and Mission Hills 25-7 over perennial powerhouse Cathedral Catholic. Torrey Pines defense shut down the Mission Hills offense and came up with the big plays when they needed them, while the Torrey Pines offense was unstoppable. The Grizzlies received the opening kickoff and went three and out. Then on the Falcon’s opening drive they were intercepted and Mission Hills had the ball back on their own 38. After a screen pass was stopped short by #42 Zach Friedland, the Grizzlies had third and long. On a read option their back broke free for a long TD run and Mission Hills was on the board first, 7-0. The Falcons struck right back with good runs by #29 Ryan Ramirez and #11 Sully O’Brien, before O’Brien broke loose for a 67 yard TD to tie at 7-7. On the ensuing kickoff Mission Hills #10 Trevor Davis bobbled the ball but then recovered to run 75 yards for a touchdown putting the Grizzlies ahead 147. Starting from their own 36 the Falcons kept their poise and ground out a long drive with Ramirez and O’Brien picking up 8 or more yards per carry, capped with a quarterback keeper by #4 Jackie Plashkes to tie the game again at 14-14. Facing 3rd and 14 on their own 40 the Grizzlies went to the air, but #15 Jack Nelson delivered a big hit just as the ball arrived, the pass fell incomplete and Mission Hills had to punt it away. #34 Gaston Schenk ran for 14 yards, a penalty made it 1st and 15, then O’Brien swept left for 14. Then on 2nd and 1 #42 Zach Friedland popped through for a 33 -yard TD, and the Falcons took the lead for the first time 21-14, a lead they would not lose. Perhaps wary of the Grizzlies breakaway return threats, Torrey Pines opted for an onside kick. It was recovered by Mission Hills on the Falcons 40. They could not capitalize on their good position, as they were stopped on the ground for a short gain by #69 Jacob Raab and then passed in-

Falcons scored three times through the air and four times on the ground Photo/Claudia Perrone complete under pressure from #77 Connor Nichols. After a penalty and recovering their own fumble the Grizzlies facing 4th and 25 got off a short punt and Torrey Pines took over again from the Mission Hills 36. O’Brien rambled 16 yards and then #34 Gaston Schenk scored to make it 28-14 Falcons. The Falcon defense was relentless and on their next series the quarterback was sacked by #50 Blake Gagen, causing a fumble recovered by Torrey Pines on the 32 yard line. #34 Gaston Schenk ran for 17 yards to put the Falcons in the red zone. On 2nd and 8 from the 13, #14 Chris Temby passed to #88 Joe Anthony for 10 yards. On first and goal Ramirez bulled inside the 1, and then #22 Beau Morgans scored the TD to put the Falcons up 3514 with still 8:06 to go in the 2nd quarter. If there was any doubt before now it was clear this would be a very long night for Mission Hills. Mission Hills fumbled the kickoff, caused by #18 Jace Evans, and the ball was recovered by #50 Blake Gagen to start the Falcons again in Grizzlies territory on the 30. The Grizzlies defense held firm, but then on 3rd and 18 #42 Zach Friedland ran for 25 yards off a draw play, and on 3rd and 11 another TD pass put Torrey Pines up 42-14. Starting from their own 40 the Mission Hills offense was again shut down and when they faced 4th and 3 they pretty much had to go for it. The pass was incomplete and the Falcons took over. The doughty Mission Hills defense stepped up and stopped the powerful Falcon offense. The Falcons lined up to go for it on fourth down and Mission Hills pulled their coverage in tight. The pitch was to #24 Matthew Goena who drove a punt deep into uncovered territory. On 4-18 Mission Hills got off a squib kick, retrieved by the sure hands of #21 Jacob Leone. On the Falcons next series Plashkes connected with #35 Ryan Cesari for 23 yards, and with #22 Beau Morgans for 9 yards. #24 Matthew Goena ran 5 yards for the first down, and then #42 Zach Friedland made a 15 yard TD reception to make it 49-14. Mission Hills had a good drive picking up 3 first downs but stalled with incomplete passes including a crucial one defended by #35 Ryan Cesari, leading to another turnover on downs. The Falcons moved down the field on the ground with runs by #24 Matthew Goena, #10 Ben Simsiman, #16 Cole Mihalinec, and #21 Jacob Leone. Then #57 Jadon Cotton carried into the end zone to make the score 56-14. The Grizzlies put together another long drive with a good mix of running and passing, and this time took it into the end zone to climb back to 56-21. On the final series Torrey Pines kept it on the ground, with almost every play another first down, featuring #57 Jadon Cotton, #6 Gunnar Braun, #30 Jacob Wise with back to back 12 yard carries, and #16 Cole Mihalinec threatening the Mission Hills goal line as time ran out with a final score 56-21. Torrey Pines’ record is now 2-0 while Mission Hills falls to 1-1. On Sept. 11 Torrey Pines faces Cathedral Catholic at home, while Mission Hills hosts Bonita Vista. Both games kickoff at 5 p.m.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
North County Interiors has been helping residents beautify homes for almost 40 years BY KAREN BILLING North County Interiors has been providing high quality flooring and window coverings in Encinitas for 38 years. The company has become well known for its products, design, installation and customer service. Since taking over the company just six months ago, new owner Kenneth Smith has spent time making sure the exterior of North County Interiors looks just as attractive as the inside. The business is located in an iconic gas station building west of the freeway on Manchester Avenue. Smith refreshed the orange paint with a modern, pleasing teal and paired it with green awnings and wood and steel planters full of succulents. A matching wood and steel fence and gate surround the property, designed by Smith’s son. “It’s been a lot of work renovating, getting the new website up and keeping up with the business walking in the door,” said Smith. “It will be nice now to just focus on the business walking
(Above) North County Interiors has had a dramatic exterior overhaul in the last six months. (Right) Owner Kenneth Smith shows off North County Interiors’ stocked showroom. Photos by Karen Billing in the door. Some know exactly what they want and we get it for them, others take a little more time. It can be overwhelming if you don’t have someone to help you and talk to you about different styles and price points.” Former owner Rod Gould started the business in 1976. Smith, who has a background in real estate development and design, had been looking for a small company to purchase and couldn’t resist when North County Interiors went up for sale — it fit his particular set of skills and the location especially couldn’t be beat. Smith said it’s so central, close to the freeway and easy for everyone to get to. He runs the showroom along with Gayle Baker, who has been in the industry for 18 years and knows the inventory backward and forward.
“I wouldn’t have purchased the business if Gayle had not have promised to stay with me,” Smith said. The company specializes in redesigning living spaces. “For a lot of people, buying flooring is a huge decision, they may only do it once in a lifetime so there’s a high fear factor of ‘Am I choosing the wrong thing?’” Smith said. “We work with them on coloration and price and make sure it fits within their budget. We bring down a lot of the anxiety that comes with such a big purchase.” With their free in-home consultations, Smith said they aim to make sure people put the right flooring in the right area. As an example, a family with high traffic — such as three kids and two dogs — might want to steer clear of a house full of white carpet. “When I get into the home I can get a feel for the family lifestyle and their deSee INTERIORS, page B22

Emmy-winning women’s health advocate and breast cancer survivor Carol LeBeau will lead an expert panel to help attendees answer important breast health questions. “When it comes to breast cancer awareness, one fact is obvious—there is a lot of information swirling around that is less than factual and can be very confusing to women,” said Laura Farmer Sherman, executive director of Susan G. Komen San Diego. “When we engage and empower each other to be our own health advocate, it doesn’t have to be scary. Sharing the facts so that the women of San Diego can be educated about their breast health is the core of Komen’s mission at this event.” The evening will consist of a reception, dinner and an engaging, upbeat and entertaining discussion about the breast health facts that can keep San Diegans informed and healthy. The panel of experts will include Ardy Arianpour, Chief Strategic Officer at Pathway Genomics, Dr. Jennifer Purdy Mayberry, M.D., Diagnostic Radiologist and Women’s Imaging Specialist at San Diego Imaging and Chandini Portteus, Chief Mission Officer for Susan G. Komen. Lorraine Hutchinson, Komen San Diego 2014 Honorary Breast Cancer Survivor, will also share her story. Marriott Del Mar: 11966 El Camino Real, San Diego, CA 92130.

To your health: Sorting through prostate cancer predicament BY CARL ROSSI, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH September is national Prostate Cancer Awareness month, a time to sort through what has become one of the most confusing areas for men to navigate in health care. With controversial screening guidelines, uncertainty about whether to undergo treatment and multiple medical procedures from which to choose, there are more questions than ever about how to approach prostate cancer. This year in the United States, approximately 233,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 29,000 will die of the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. It is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men aside from skin cancer and is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men. Q: Is prostate-specific antigen screening worthwhile? A: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has recommended to end routine prostatespecific antigen screening for all men. But regular PSA testing has led to earlier and more sensitive detection of the disease. And the cure rate for prostate cancer has increased significantly since widespread use of PSA testing began in the early 1990s. Despite conflicting interpretations on the benefits of screening, these tests should not be abandoned. PSA screenings save lives. Men with a strong family history of the disease (father and one other first-degree male relative) and African-American men should get PSA screenings annually starting at age 40. Men with significant urinary symptoms should also undergo screenings as appropriate. Men without symptoms should talk with their doctor about getting regular PSA screening starting at age 50. Q: What’s the better choice, treatment or surveillance? A: We know that overall, a significant percentage of men diagnosed with prostate cancer may never physically suffer from it, and as a result don’t need treatment. We also know that in some cases, some treatments can cause unwanted side effects, and that overtreatment is a problem in this disease. But that doesn’t mean surveillance is the right solution for everyone. Men should know that the predictability of prostate cancer progression becomes much fuzzier on an individual patient level. Patients who choose surveillance over intervention need to know that their cancer can change during their period of “watchful waiting” and that their “cure window” can possibly close without their knowing about it. It’s important for men to meet with their physician to discuss the benefits and risks of each approach, both physiologically and psychologically. Q: Which prostate cancer treatment is really best? A: There are many treatment choices for prostate cancer — open surgery, robotic surgery, X-ray radiation, proton-beam radiation and others. Patients should take two to three months to explore all of their options, unless they have a high-grade tumor that requires immediate treatment. Men should explore the pros and cons of each treatment, and confer with family and physicians to arrive at an informed decision that is best for the individual patient. For example, if a patient chooses radiation treatment, will he be worried knowing his prostate gland is still in his body? If so, surgery might be an option. But with surgery comes other possible concerns, like the potential for incontinence. And if a patient chooses watchful waiting, he needs to know that his cancer may change over time and become more problematic to treat at some point. Q: What are the key points I know about prostate cancer? A: 1) Talk to your doctor about getting screened regularly 2) If diagnosed, take time to explore all options (interventions and surveillance) 3) Map out pros and cons for each option 4) Consult with physicians and family 5) Decide on individual course of action Carl Rossi, M.D., is a radiation oncologist with Scripps Health and is medical director of the Scripps Proton Therapy Center. Scripps invites the public to a free educational lecture on prostate cancer from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Oct. 7 at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. For information, call 858800-3117 or visit scripps.org/protonpr.

Want to Sell Your Home? Make a Great First Impression Earlier this summer, I wrote about the secrets of successful home sellers, and one of the mantra’s I shared was “the first impression is the only impression.” If you want to sell your home quickly and get top dollar for it, I cannot stress this enough. In Rancho Santa Fe you can’t even put up a “For Sale” sign, so just listing your property in the MLS and trusting that everyone dreams of moving to the San Diego area is not enough. Here are four easy but important ways in which you can guarantee that your first impression is a lasting one. 1. Wow with Curb Appeal If we’re talking about first impressions, it
doesn’t get more “first” than the curb appeal. You might have an immaculate interior, but if your exterior doesn’t entice potential buyers, they’ll never make it to the front door. * Be sure the lawn is freshly mowed and the landscaping is neatly trimmed and free of debris, toys, etc. * Give your front door, garage door and gutters a fresh coat of paint. * Clean all windows until they are sparkling. * Make sure your address numbers are in place and polished. * Check to see if the roof needs any repairs, even if they are cosmetic. * Pay attention to details: add a new welcome mat or hang a wreath on your door. 2. Spruce up the Interior Once the exterior has wowed potential buyers and they are requesting to see the inside, you have the opportunity to make a whole new first impression. First of all, clean the inside from top to bottom, and yes, that means even dusting all the hard to reach nooks and crevices. * Clear away any clutter, and if you have too
much furniture, put some of it in storage. Cabinets and shelves should also be sparse and well-organized to give the impression that they are spacious. * Remove excess personal knickknacks and family photos that make the house look like your home. You want the potential buyers to be able to easily imagine the space as their home. * Wash away smudges from walls and doors, and touch up paint as necessary. * Get your carpets cleaned and then vacuum them each morning. * Wipe down all appliances, including the inside of the microwave. Buyers will look everywhere. * Hang fresh towels in the bathroom, and add a beautiful centerpiece to your dining table. * Place potpourri in key spots, especially if you have pets or a smoker in the house. 3. Assess Your Evening Appearance It’s important that you not only nail your curb appeal in the daytime, but ask yourself how your house looks in the evening. You want to be sure that the ambiance at night is just as impressive. Be sure the walkway is well-lit and
that the address numbers are visible. There should be outside lighting that enhances the home’s appearance. Also, be sure to replace any indoor light bulbs as necessary and leave on decorative or track lighting so that your house does not seem dark upon entering. 4. Make All Necessary Repairs This might seem obvious, but it is important to change all the little things that need repair as well. This includes cabinet doors that don’t close properly and faucets that drip. You want to be sure that you are presenting a clean, attractive home that is free of problems. You don’t want potential buyers to be thinking of any work they’d have to do. They should leave your home seeing nothing but potential. Don’t underestimate the power of a strong first impression. It could be all your need to get those offers rolling in. If you’re interesting in selling your home in the Rancho Santa Fe area and are looking for a real estate agent who knows how to make the right first impression and attract potential buyers, please give me a call at 858-759-6567 or visit http://www.janetlawlesschrist.com.

sign tastes,” Smith said. The home consultations are also helpful because Smith said most people have no idea how big their homes are — he knows budget is always an issue and once he gets into the home, he can have honest conversations about square footage and cost. “I understand a lot about the building process and contractor issues and I get a lot of questions when I get into people’s homes — they start talking to me about complete renovations,” Smith said. In addition to helping people choose the right kind of flooring, Smith has even given suggestions on countertops and bedroom paint colors. According to Smith, the business is moving away from carpet and more toward hard surfaces, such as wood floors, laminate and luxury vinyl tile — known as “LVT.” “Laminates have come a long, long way,” Smith said, noting the new laminates realistically mimic different styles of wood and stone looks and are super
durable. This is not to say carpet isn’t still in — people are still carpeting bedrooms and living rooms, Smith said. The trends in carpet are textures such as lines and patterns, lower piles and carpets that are super-soft to the touch. Dupont’s Smartstrand has become quite popular for its stain-resistance and its silky softness, according to Smith. “Every company is coming out with a version of super-soft fibers. It’s really fun and it’s wonderful if you have a room where people spend a lot of time on the floor,” Smith said. For more information, visit northcountyinteriors.com or call 760-436-5552.

For the love of opera: San Diego company opens its 50th season in triumph over disaster
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO San Diego Opera has embarked on its 50th year this month after coming to a crossroads and choosing the road less traveled — to preserve the cultural icon through new leadership and a fresh business plan. On the brink of collapse in March (when longtime CEO Ian Campbell and the San Diego Opera Board of Directors voted 33-1 to shut the company down for financial reasons after the final performance of the 2014 season), new leadership headed by former board secretary Carol Lazier took the reigns. Lazier, a major donor to the opera’s 2014 season, gave the company an additional $1 million to explore its options and “encourage the board to rescind the dissolution vote.” The result? A new board emerged; opera offices moved to new, smaller digs; interim artistic advisor Bill Mason was brought in from the Lyric Opera of Chicago; and the Company launched a crowd-funding campaign that resulted in an unprecedented $2.2 million in public donations. In May, after two months of deliberations and analysis, San Diego Opera announced its 2015 season — three operas “La bohème,” “Don Giovanni,” and “Nixon in China” performed at the San Diego Civic Theatre, and special Gala Concerts of favorite arias, duets, ensembles and choruses with the San Diego Symphony at Copley Symphony Hall. “Clearly there are people committed to saving the San Diego Opera — the third largest cultural institution in the city — and they seem to be making strides in engaging stakeholders and the broader community in the conversation,” wrote Eileen Cunniffe in the April issue of Nonprofit Quarterly. The company’s new offices occupy the fifth floor of the Centre City Building — 7,000 square feet, down from the 15,000 square feet of office space the company previously occupied. In addition to the move, which will save the company $400,000 per year in rent, the San Diego Opera reduced 13 staff positions and employees have taken a 10 percent pay cut across the board.

Courtesy photo Opera Board President Lazier states in a press release that the Company “continues to look at cost-cutting measures and efficiencies as it moves forward. These cuts have helped reduce the 2015 budget from $17 million to around $11 million.” William and Evelyn Lamden, and Randolph and Carol Lamden Corby, granted Centre City Building’s three-year lease, which represents, a $300,000 gift to the opera company. “Our support of the Opera in its efforts to continue producing great operatic events reflects our desire to see a thriving arts community in San Diego,” Bill Lamden said at the time. Of his vision for the San Diego Opera Company, interim director Mason said, “San Diego opera lovers can confidently look forward to a future of continued artistic excellence and innovation as the Company embarks on its 50th season. “I urge the community to continue to support the company by attending performances, donating as generously as possible, and spreading the word about the beauty and life changing power of opera.”
San Diego Opera is not alone in its struggle to survive. With great hope, its new path will save it from the fate of other opera companies that have gone out of business recently — New York City Opera, Opera Boston, Opera Cleveland, Baltimore Opera, San Antonio Opera, Lyric Opera San Diego and Opera Pacific in Orange County. Season 50 Schedule: •Dec. 11: Stephanie Blythe and Craig Terry present “We’ll Meet Again: The Songs of Kate Smith,” 7 p.m. Balboa Theatre, 868 4th Ave, Downtown San Diego. •Jan. 24, 27, 29 and Feb. 1: “La bohème” by Giacomo Puccini, 2 p.m. Sunday, 7 p.m. other days, San Diego Civic Theatre, 1100 3rd Ave., Downtown San Diego, House debuts of tenor David Lomelí as Rodolfo, soprano Alyson Cambridge as Mimì and soprano Sara Gartland as Musetta.

Teen Volunteers in Action kickoff event The founding SD1 Chapter of Teen Volunteers in Action (TVIA) held its yearly kick-off event on Sept. 7 at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. The annual event is an opportunity to introduce the Chapter’s leadership council, comprised of a dozen teens, and launches the year of community service events for the volunteer group of approximately 180 young men, grades 7-12. This year’s kick-off event featured a motivating presentation by Sarah Hernholm, founder of “Whatever it Takes” (WIT). WIT was founded in 2010 with the goal of inviting youth to share their ideas for how to improve their communities and turn their ideas into reality. Over the past four years, WIT has grown and evolved into the only college-credit high school entrepreneur program. Teens accepted into the WIT program learn how to design, launch and sustain social enterprises. Hernholm opened her lecture by thanking the TVIA boys for their commitment to community service. She then challenged the group to show up at each of their community service events with a sense of giving instead of getting. “Instead of just showing up to your events, shift your thinking to what can I give to each community event,” said Hernholm. Hernholm closed her lecture by posing for a “selfie” with the young men who were clearly inspired by her speech. Many members of the group remained after the event to talk with her about WIT and their shared passion for community service. Serving the north coastal communities of Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas and Carlsbad, TVIA is an organization of young men grades 7-12, committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal growth. The

Earlier this year, Gemma was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, which was recently determined to be non-malignant. Despite the good news, the road ahead remains a challenge, as Gemma is 10 weeks into a minimum one-year chemotherapy regimen. Patrick and Teal Guion arrived at Morgan Run in 2009. Patrick is the club’s tennis director, and Teal was one of the club’s golf professionals from 2009 to 2012. About 150 people attended the fundraiser, all wearing red, which is baby Gemma’s favorite color. The day’s events included a World Team Tennis format round robin, an exhibition Pro-Am match and dinner, followed by live and silent auctions. The evening concluded with live music. One court was transformed into an oversized dance floor. “My wife and I could not be more grateful and appreciative of the support we have received from everyone at Morgan Run,” said Patrick Guion. “Everything about the event was beyond even our wildest expectations. A lot of hard work and long hours were put in over the last several weeks and I just can’t say ‘Thank you’ enough.” To learn more about the Guion family, visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ golferteal.

BY HALEY KWON, BRANCH MANAGER, RSF LIBRARY Throughout the month of September the Rancho Santa Fe Library will exhibit 10 canvases by fine art muralist and painter Mona Mills. These paintings range in symbolic themes and intergenerational inspirations, and include Magic Child’s Flower Garden, Saving Horses from Fire and Many Selves, October Fire, I’ll Fly Away, Myself as a Painter of People, Glad Morning, Resurrecting Ophelia, Finding Ophelia and Grandma was a Reader. The public is invited to meet Mills at the artist’s reception from 3-5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25 at the Library, 17040 Avenida de Acacias, Rancho Santa Fe. Conversation, collaboration and community will be offered alongside light refreshments. The conversations surrounding Mills’ collection of original artwork began 15 years ago between the artist and her Grandma Kay, a thinker and writer who said, “We must describe the creative process and write it down.” The following is the artist in her own words about her personal process in front of the canvas. “My visionary painting begins with my placing the empty canvas in a room. I walk by, on my way in and out, glancing at the canvas but not thinking. Anything near the canvas can act as a catalyst and make a suggestion. There, I have an idea. I take a loaded paintbrush and gesture a figure onto the canvas. I draw and paint the figure without models or photos, as easily as I breathe. The human figure is my main vehicle of visual expression. There, an abstraction of an environ-
ment comes out of the surrounding space. The abstracted forms are only space holders for more fully realized images. “The painting itself drives the way toward more fully realized figures, objects, values, and colors. I tell myself ‘ease and grace’ over and over again. A struggle means I am going the wrong direction, and I take another path. My paintings come from outside of myself and from some place around me, from synchronicity as well as the painting itself. Indeed the “ease and grace” aspect suggests automatism and stream of consciousness. “I know my visionary process is personal and I am curious about the methods of other truly inspired artist from all fields. I would like to talk with others who sense that their art is a calling.” In one conversation I had with Ms. Mills, we articulated how the experience and inquiry into art and beauty is an inalienable human right, both as artist and audience. The access to interior worlds of the emotional and spiritual realms intersects in the very physical participation and practice of the chosen medium. The mastery or naivete of original artwork does not affect its value. There is value in art at every phase of realization towards its public life. This current exhibit of portraiture as colorful vision was created for public enjoyment rather than private sales. The public is cordially invited to meet Mona Mills at the Artist’s Reception on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 25, at the RSF Library from 3-5:30 p.m. Conversation, collaboration and community will be offered alongside light refreshments.
