RSF Association Finance Committee considers past, present, possible future of Osuna Ranch BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association Finance Committee heard a report on the history, current status and potential future of the Osuna Ranch at its Aug. 26 meeting. Kim Eggleston, chair of the RSF Finance Committee and director and treasurer on the RSF Association board, said that there needs to be some new financial analysis on how appropriate the Osuna property is as a community asset in today’s economic context. One possibility to be discussed is subdividing the 24.5acre Osuna Ranch, which is home to the historical adobe and a horse boarding facility. Eggleston said he’s all for preserving the adobe, but only 38 percent of the horse facility boarders are Covenant residents. “A lot of criticism (regarding) the facility is the outside users,” Eggleston said. At the RSF Association board’s Sept. 11 retreat, the board members plan to discuss the Osuna and some options for the property. Those include the Association subdividing the property and maintaining the adobe, or selling the lot with restrictions and losing control of the adobe. As Jerry Yahr, the chair of the Osuna committee and Association board director reported, the adobe is now protected and cannot be demolished because of achieved historical designations. He said some elevation changes may limit how the property can be subdivided and pointed out that the adobe also sits in the middle of the property and would make for some

RSF Finance Committee reviews $350,000 pool and fitness cost study BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association Finance Committee heard an update on the community pool and fitness center effort at its Aug. 27 meeting in preparation for an October community-wide vote to spend $350,000 on a professional planning phase. Should residents approve the planning phase, the RSF Association Pool and Fitness Committee would return to the community for a vote on the solid cost numbers and design plan. Pool and fitness committee member Mike Licosati said companies usually spend about 5 percent of their budgets on research and development — the $350,000 would represent 2 percent of the association’s budget. Funds have been expended in the past to study issues such as roundabouts, incorporation and utility undergrounding without community votes; and as finance committee chair Kim Eggleston noted, it’s well within the association board’s purview to spend money on planning. “A vote could be a risk,” Eggleston said. “‘No’ is really easy to say, especially when money is attached.” See STUDY, page 20

RSF Foundation expanding to help put more donor visions into action BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation is expanding and hopes to build on its efforts to connect local donors with organizations that make a difference across San Diego County. One year after the RSF Foundation’s move from the village to its new office space at Rancho Santa Fe Plaza, the Foundation is adding an 860-square-foot community event space. In August 2013, the foundation moved to its new 1,700-square-foot office after 15 years in the village in an 800-square-foot space that was generously donated by Union Bank. They have leased the vacant office space next door in the plaza, put in an adjoining door and refreshed the paint and carpet. Tables, chairs, big screen-mounted TV and a giant white board will make the space conducive to meetings and events. The foundation administrators hope the room will be used often, and they hope to start a series where they can introduce potential donors to a cause, bringing likeminded people into the same room and generate awareness, ideas, connections and support. “We are uniquely positioned to help donors really be as effective as they can be with their philanthropy,” said Sue Pyke, donor services director. “One of our slogans is ‘Put your vision into action.’ We have a lot of expertise and practical ways to take those visions and make them a reality.” The community room is not the only new addition to the Foundation this year. The Foundation refreshed its branding with a new logo in January, has a new website ready to launch, and recently hired Amanda Wiggs, an administrative assistant. RSF Foundation Executive Director Christy Wilson said Wiggs, who previously worked
with the San Diego Foundation, has been a great addition to the staff. “It’s really an exciting time for the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation,” Wiggs said. “There’s a lot of opportunity to reach newer families that have moved to Rancho Santa Fe. To get them involved in our work is our goal this year, to make information about what we do available to a wide variety of people.” Pyke said when paired with the generous and passionate people in Rancho Santa Fe, the foundation is able to accomplish some pretty incredible things. The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation oversees three kinds of funds: Discretionary funds, given by people who want the foundation to use them to address the greatest needs in San Diego County; donor-advised funds, which are invested on the donor’s behalf to facilitate grant making; and endowment fund monies that the foundation manages on behalf of nonprofits around the county. The foundation oversees endowment funds of about 70 organizations, such as the Rancho Santa Fe School Foundation, the Amigos de Osuna, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and the RSF Library Guild. They have developed a directory of 100plus organizations they have fully vetted, connecting donors with groups where their funds will have the most value. “Our role is connecting donors and people who have an interest in certain areas and causes with the best organizations working on those causes, and help come up with strategies to make their philanthropy more effective,” Pyke said. Wilson has been at the helm as executive director for 17 1/2 years. “It’s been an extraordinary journey,” Wilson said. “I was given a pretty wonderful opportunity to run this organization.”
The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation’s new community room opens this week. Photo by Karen Billing Two of the foundation’s biggest programs are The Women’s Fund and The Patriots Initiative. The Patriots Initiative, formed in 2008 as the Armed Forces Interest Group, focuses its efforts on supporting military organizations. The Patriots Initiative recently distributed $69,000 in grants to eight organizations in San Diego County. A second round of grants will be announced later this fall. The RSF Women’s Fund is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and has given more than $2 million over the past 10 years. In May, the RSF Women’s Fund granted $258,000 to 10 organizations, including $30,000 to Outdoor Outreach, an organization that provides an after-school Adventure Club to underserved youth at public schools in San Diego County. The foundation likes to able to shed light on the worthy organizations to which it provides grants. Members recently visited and photographed an Outdoor Outreach event that took students from El Cajon Valley High, many of them Iraqi immigrants, on a snorkeling trip. “The Women’s Fund does amazing work,” said Wilson. “One aspect of the foundation that’s significant is the idea of collective giving — people coming together around an issue. Philanthropic efforts can have more of an impact than they would have on their own.”

The foundation is making a big impact this year with its Impact Grants program, funded by donors who have contributed to unrestricted endowments. Each year, a specific focus is selected to benefit from the grants program. For the first time, the Foundation has embarked on a multiyear grant process focused on senior citizens. The RSF Foundation has partnered with Interfaith Community Services and Dreams for Change, and provided the initial funding for a pilot program that focuses on getting access to healthy food to seniors in Oceanside and along the SR78 corridor, and providing socialization opportunities. “This is about taking a deeper dive into an issue,” Wilson said. Wilson said a lot of research and feasibility studies went into the program, which they plan to hand back to the service providers after the six-month pilot program and help the program continue to expand. “The Foundation is not a service provider, we are grant-makers. We find the best people to do the work in the community and help them fund it,” Wilson said. Visit rsffoundation.org.

First phase of reconstruction under way at Earl Warren Middle School BY KRISTINA HOUCK As kids kicked back this summer, San Dieguito Union High School District kicked off the first phase of its complete reconstruction of Earl Warren Middle School. The $41 million project is made possible by the passage of Proposition AA. Voters approved the $449 million bond measure in November 2012, funding upgrades and repairs at the district’s North County campuses. Because Earl Warren is 60 years old, however, district officials opted to rebuild rather than renovate. “With Earl Warren being our oldest middle school, it presented the most challenges in terms of modernization,� said Eric Dill, district associate superintendent of business services. “It was determined that for the same or less money, we could demolish the school and build a brand-new one.� The district launched the project in August with the demolition of Warren Hall, the school’s multipurpose room, as well as the blacktop behind the campus and the cafeteria, known as “Lola’s Place.� Design plans are being finalized for Warren Hall, which will be repurposed as a student union and will feature wireless Internet and spaces for project-based learning as well as small group instruction, according to the school’s master plan. The 2,444-square-foot space will also offer two classrooms for physical education and supplement existing public library services. The blacktop area and cafeteria will become a data center.
In addition, the district is upgrading the school’s utility infrastructure. Currently, one utility pole on Stevens Avenue is supplying all power to the school, Dill said. “We realized that we needed to upgrade that because of all the work we’re going to be doing,� Dill said. “The power infrastructure is also 60 years old and inadequate. We’re getting a jump-start on that so the construction process and moving the kids to the portable classrooms goes much more smoothly.� The district is working with architectural firm Lionakis and San Diego-based construction company McCarthy Building Companies. The school’s master plan was created in 2011, but design, details and timelines are still being finalized, Dill said. Still, he expects the rebuild to take about two years. The second stage of construction is tentatively planned for fall 2015, when students will be moved into portables and classrooms will be reconstructed. The new classrooms will all meet the district’s new standard of approximately 1,200 square feet of space. “The original idea is that no more than half of the kids would be in portables,� Dill said. “In the first year, half the kids would be in the older buildings. In the second year, half the kids would be in new buildings and half the kids would be in portables. And after two years, we would have a brand-new school.� Set to be complete in fall 2017, the new

Photo by Jon Clark campus will total 56,120 square feet on the 20-acre site. According to the master plan, the school will enroll 500 students, down from the school’s more than 700 students. “It’s going to be a beautiful campus,� Dill said. “To have a brand-new middle school in Solana Beach that’s going to be comparable to our other middle schools is very exciting and something the community deserves.� For more about Prop AA and the district’s projects, visit www.sduhsd.net.

CCA senior making waves in world of surf photography BY ROB LEDONNE As Hurricane-turned-Tropical Storm Marie churned off the coast of Baja California, the resulting waves broke records, thanks to their immense size and scale. As onlookers gathered at the shores and only the most expert surfers dared to hit the water, in the midst of the action was Austin Schmid, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy who has discovered a passion for photographing the surf and is a local photographer for worldrenowned website Surfline.com. “In Newport Beach, the waves were the biggest they’ve been in 10 years,” Austin said. “There’s a place called the Wedge in Newport, and I went body-surfing with my camera. The waves coming in were at least 20 feet tall; it was definitely the most scared I’ve ever been in the water.” Austin’s passion and talent for surf photography lured him north to Newport Beach to chronicle the furious effects of Hurricane Marie, marking the latest highlight in a burgeoning career in photography. “I got the first GoPro (camera) when they came out a few years ago. I love both the ocean and photography, and (this hobby) joined the two of them.” One of the factors that sets Austin’s photographs apart from the pack is that he uses a homemade waterproof camera casing, essentially enabling him to wade into the surf with it. A manufactured camera casing was cost-prohibitive. “A lot of surf photographers will purchase professional camera housing, so I pro-
posed the idea to my dad to make one,” said Austin, whose father, Mark, is an engineer. “That’s been a big part of my photography. I’m known as the kid with homemade housing. It’s so cool; I can take pictures just like any professional.” Austin’s technical prowess and talent behind the lens caught the eyes of Surfline, the Huntington Beach-based website that launched in 1985 and specializes in surf reports, webcams, and exclusive photos and video. A go-to website for anyone interested in the sport, its familiar motto is, “Know before you go.” “There’s a ton of amazing photographers on there,” said Austin. “I saw they were considering new photographers and had an application on their website, so I applied. They wound up bringing me aboard, and it’s been awesome. I get to post my photos and even more people get to see them. It’s also great being a part of a community, and being able to meet other photographers. There’s a ton of talented people on there with inspiring work.” When it comes to snapping pictures, Austin says one of his favorite local places is in La Jolla. When he goes gallivanting, it’s with a friend or his 17-year-old twin brother, Garrett. And when he’s not holding a camera, Austin is an avid surfer, body boarder, and body surfer. Lately, however, his passion for photos is starting to take precedence over everything else. “I’m not sure where I’m going to college yet,” he says of his future. “I’m tak-

RSF couple’s Rolls wins at Pebble Beach Concours Ken and Ann Smith of Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla recently won a First Place award for their Rolls-Royce Phantom V Sedanca de Ville (by James Young Coachbuilders) at the famed Pebble Beach Concours on the Monterey Peninsula. The Smiths are no strangers to the concours world having participated on the La Jolla Concours every year from its inception, as well as other concours events across the country, with frequent wins for the cars in their collection. Previously, their 1929 Packard Dual Cowl Phaeton took a First Place at Pebble Beach Concours, as well. The James Young Sedanca de Ville coachwork features a hardtop that slides into the rear portion of the roof, leaving the front compartment completely open. A metal flap closes to conceal the retracted hardtop. Only seven examples exist worldwide. “We were highly honored to receive such a fine award, especially against such outstanding cars,� said Ken Smith. The Smith car collection includes various luxury brands, which changes from time to time, including Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Packard, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Corvette, and the prize member — a 1936 Delahaye 135 Competition Convertible by Figoni-Falaschi Coachbuilders, which has won numerous Best of Show awards across the country. Prior to the concours event, the Smiths participated in a Tour d�Elegance, an 80-mile drive that was led by race drivers Sir Sterling Moss and Sir Jackie Stewart. The tour covered parts of the famed 17-Mile Drive in Pebble Beach, and then to Laguna Seca Raceway for a lap before a 50-mile round trip along the scenic drive to Big Sur, returning to Carmel Village for a buffet lunch.

Canyon Crest Academy holds ‘Welcome Back’ receptions The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation held Welcome Back Receptions on Aug. 26 to kick off the 2014-2015 school year. The events were sponsored by The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. Close to 600 parents attended the receptions which provided CCA parents with the opportunity to speak with CCA administrators, including Principal Karl Mueller, teachers, and Foundation representatives. Representatives from Dollars for Scholars, Grad Nite, Science Olympiad, Robotics, QUEST, and Envision programs spoke with parents about the many opportunities for involvement in the coming year. CCA Foundation President Amy Caterina spoke to the crowd about the ways in which the Foundation continues to enrich the experiences of every student, every day. “Donations to the CCA Foundation are used to enhance athletics, arts, and science programs. All of the money that is donated
to the Foundation is used right here at CCA.” Dan Curran, of The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, gave an update on the progress of the much-anticipated project that is currently under construction, with an estimated opening in early 2015. In addition to Trader Joe’s, a pharmacy, several restaurants, and a gym will all be part of the center. Curran stressed that “The Village sees CCA as a community partner, and there are plans to incorporate student artwork and performances in our Village Square.” The Canyon Crest Foundation is a parent-led 501(c) (3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive. Your tax deductible donation to the CCA Foundation is vitally needed to continue our support of these programs. You can donate online at www.canyoncrestfoundation.org.

No longer ‘Invisible’: Actor depicts stories of 10 homeless people BY JOE TASH The man’s hands shook from alcohol withdrawal when he approached Jerry Hager one evening to ask for a handout. Hager was so moved by the man’s honesty — he candidly admitted he would use the money to buy liquor — that Hager gave him some cash and chatted with him for a few minutes, as his family waited nearby. That experience resulted in a vignette Hager will perform on Sept. 13 and 14 at the Vine Theater in Rancho Bernardo as part of “Invisible,” a one-man show depicting the lives of 10 different homeless people. The performance marks the final weekend of the theater’s annual summer series, now in its seventh year. Artistic Director Faith Jensen-Ismay uses the summer event to bring a variety of different dance troupes to the intimate theater on the grounds of the Bernardo Winery. “Jerry’s work involves body language and how the body moves. It complements what we do,” said Jensen-Ismay, who also oversees the Mojalet Dance Collective, a school and dance company. Hager, a mime, performance artist and story-teller who has entertained for decades around San Diego County, including work with schools and a long-running engagement as a roving performer at the San Diego County Fair, is returning to the Vine summer series for the fourth time. In “Invisible,” Hager uses masks, cos-
tumes, voice, movement and music to tell stories of his characters, some of which are based on real people, and others who are purely fictional. “It’s a subject that had been lingering in my heart and my spirit for some time,” said Hager of the upcoming one-man show. “Sometimes we will walk past people and we don’t see them … because of ideas that we think they are.” While many homeless people do suffer from mental or physical disabilities, or drug addiction, their stories actually go much deeper and defy stereotypes, Hager said. “I’m not really doing a show to address the homeless issue. I don’t have the answers to that. I’m doing a show about 10 people and who they are. I’m trying to take the cover off the book and get into the pages.” The hour-long show centers on a developer who leaves his cellphone and keys on a rock while examining a potential building site, only to come back and find they’ve disappeared. A homeless person approaches and offers to lead him back to his belongings. Hager said the story is based on an incident that a family member experienced. The characters include Penny, a 15-year-old runaway; Mitch, a man with cerebral palsy; George, who is mentally ill and possibly dangerous; and Jimmy, a paranoid thief. The show also includes an older woman who lives in a homeless encampment and acts as a motherly figure for
Jerry Hager describing a character from his show, as he holds up the mask for that character. Hager and Vine Theater Artistic Director Faith Jensen-Ismay. Mitch. Using a collection of half-masks and his skills of vocal impression, Hager will transform himself into each of the characters. “I can give each one a personality, their own voice in words, their own sound and their own look through the mask,” he said. “They are real people for me.” The theater seats 48, and Hager will perform the show three times — at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, and at 2 p.m. Sunday. Hager ordered the masks for this show from a Chicago mask-maker. “There’s a power of mystery and magic that goes with masked theater. It really gets the juices flowing for me,” he said. He and Jensen-Ismay, the theater’s artistic director,
have known each other since the late 1980s, when they worked together on an artistic program for local schools. They have since collaborated on a number of shows. “It’s something about the simplicity and authenticity that makes Jerry’s work so great,” she said.

Next Village Viewpoints event to be held Sept. 28: Two lives of adventure; One surprising discovery 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 1000-mile trek through war-torn 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 co-authored a best-selling book, popular among students and adults alike, which has become the basis for a soon-tobe released movie starring Reese Witherspoon. 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 about the world around him. Through humor and poignancy he will enthrall the audience with his story as he also shares his most important discovery. Salz and Deng will be speaking on Sunday, Sept. 28, at a Village Viewpoints event in the Fellowship Center of the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe (6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067).

Golfing greats get together
Gene Littler, Gunn Yang
Two golfing greats recently came together at the Grand Golf Club at The Grand Del Mar. After Gunn Yang, a Korean-born San Diego State golfer recently won the U.S. Amateur Championship, he was inevitably compared to legendary San Diego golfer Gene Littler, who was the first SDSU alum to win the U.S. Am 61 years ago. Yang’s coach, Glen Daugherty, set up a golf summit between Yang and Littler — who is in the World Golf Hall of Fame with 29 PGA Tour victories — at The Grand Del Mar recently. Together Yang, 20 (right), and Littler, 84 (left), tested their considerable talents, with Littler holding his own on the resort’s challenging course. It was a milestone in the 114-year history of the U.S. Am: a game between winners from the same college who won their titles more than six decades apart!
Auditions to be held Sept. 8 for Village Church Community Theater’s ‘Saga of Sagebrush Sal’ The Village Church Community Theater announces auditions for “The Saga of Sagebrush Sal,’ a Gay Nineties comedy Western melodrama, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Sept. 8 at The Village Church, 6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe. Roles are available for approximately 20-25 actors. The melodrama tells the story of Sagebrush Sal, who decides to take over the busiest establishment in town, The Bloody Turnip, owned by Jake the Snake. Much of the action is mimed by the actors to lines read by a narrator with exaggerated pantomime, farcical action, and broad, blatant satire. Performances will be Sunday, Oct. 5, Friday, Oct. 10 and Sunday, Oct. 12. For information: villagechurchcommunitytheater.org or margiew@villagechurch.org.
Scripps president, CEO makes list of most influential in health care Scripps Health President and CEO Chris Van Gorder has been named No. 65 on Modern Healthcare’s annual ranking of the nation’s 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare, which was published in the magazine’s Aug. 25 edition. This is the sixth time that Van Gorder, a Carmel Valleyresident, has landed on the prestigious list. Van Gorder oversees almost 14,000 employees at five acute-care hospital campuses and 25 outpatient clinics. Since becoming president and CEO in 2000, he has been instrumental in positioning the organization among the nation’s leading health care institutions. Joining Van Gorder on the list is Dr. Eric Topol, chief academic officer of Scripps, who is ranked at No. 94. A world-renowned cardiologist and scientist, Topol leads Scripps’ efforts to test and validate genetic and wireless health technologies that promise to improve patient outcomes, individualize treatments and potentially lower the cost of health care. Distributed nationally, Modern Healthcare is one of the nation’s largest health care trade publications. Nominations for the recognition program were accepted from March 17 through April 18. Readers submitted more than 15,000 submissions. The final ballot of 300 candidates was based on those receiving the most nominations. Readers then voted for their top five candidates from May 5 to June 13. More than 31,000 ballots were cast, representing 155,000 votes for individual candidates. Readers’ votes, combined with the opinion of the senior editors at Modern Healthcare, determined the final ranking. In January, Van Gorder was honored by the American College of Healthcare Executives with the Gold Medal Award, the organization’s highest honor. Last year, he received the Innovation Award from Press Ganey, a national firm specializing in patient experience improvement. Board-certified in health care management and an American College of Healthcare Executives Fellow, Van Gorder also served as 2010 chairman of the association, an international professional society of more than 40,000 health care executives who lead hospitals, health care systems and other health care organizations.
Chris Van Gorder In 2010, Van Gorder launched a new direction for Scripps. In anticipation of dramatic changes in health care, he “turned the organization on its side,” creating a horizontally matrixed management structure to identify and significantly reduce unnecessary variation in patient care and health care operations. The new “One Scripps” approach led to $141 million in performance improvements in 2011 and 2012, and more than $79 million in performance improvements in fiscal 2013. Van Gorder’s forthcoming book, “The Front-Line Leader: Building a High-Performance Organization From the Ground Up,” to be published in November, chronicles Scripps’ turnaround and Van Gorder’s journey from police officer to CEO of a major health system.

Visit ‘Kingdom City,’ where culture, censorship collide BY DIANA SAENGER In “Kingdom City,” premiering Sept. 4-Oct. 5 at La Jolla Playhouse, the playbill proclaims “a 20th-century classic inspires a 21st-century showdown.” When displaced New York director Miriam finds herself in Kingdom City, Mo., she reluctantly agrees to direct a high school production of “The Crucible.” As the students fall deeper into their roles, the play unlocks their own unspoken desires, creating a firestorm in this small, predominantly Christian town. Written by Sheri Wilner and directed by Jackson Gay, “Kingdom City” stars husband and wife Todd Weeks (Daniel) and Kate Blumberg (Miriam). “Kate had the audition first, so I went with her to New York and found myself interested in the play,” Weeks said. “I thought it had a good part for me, too, and I realized I worked with the director, Jackson Gay before. We rooted for each other to get the part, and it happened.” Blumberg said she sees the play’s message as questioning how much the outside world should interfere with personal decisions. “Exactly how much do you want to shelter teenagers?” she asked. “That’s an open discussion for plays like this — ‘The Crucible,’ ‘Grease’ and ‘Rent.’ These plays deal with the elephant in the room in regard to things that teenagers have to face at their age like drugs, sex and rock ’n’ roll, so to speak. There’s a lot of therapy in plays and productions. They are venues in high school for teenagers to be able to involve themselves, and maybe talk about issues they can’t talk about at home. “This play really spoke to me, especially the discussion of how much we should acknowledge what education should be, and in allowing educators to do their jobs. I think people should go to a school that has their sensibility. If they want religion, go to a school that focuses on that. Otherwise, go to a school that embraces it all.” Weeks agreed. “I love this play. I grew up in North Carolina and Florida, where there was a very strong conservative Christian religious community. I would often experience other churches with friends, but now I’m Jewish. So in regards to this play, I feel like I have my foot in both worlds. “Kate and I have two little girls, so the play is speaking to me. Whether you’re on the artistic educational side or the religious side, it’s complicated. Both sides are trying to do what’s best in their minds for the kids. I like that both sides are trying to leave a positive mark in the world and help other people — they’re just coming about it through different points of view.” Weeks’ character, Daniel, is a writer who has an early triumph when his short story wins an O. Henry award. Now he has pressure to expand it into a novel. “Daniel has ascended the ladder of success but finds himself stuck and almost paralyzed,”

Sheri Wilner’s ‘Kingdom City,’ directed by Jackson Gay, premieres at La Jolla Playhouse. Weeks said. “He’s afraid of letting people down and not fulfilling the expectations that have been placed on him.” Of her character, Blumberg says, “Miriam claims by trade to be a theater director, but she’s never had the opportunity to direct a play. When she gets the opportunity at a high school in a Midwest town, it’s not for the excitement of the process of directing, it’s more about making a point about doing the play she wants to do, which the school does not want. Eventually, she gets lost in that process and has to face her inner demons — her fears of failing as a director.” The couple are excited to work with director Gay. “She’s fantastic and a director that allows an actor do what he or she wants to do — take big risks, or fail if you need be,” Weeks said. “She’s supportive, clear, firm and encouraging at the same time.” The creative team for “Kingdom City” includes Playhouse Artist-in-Residence scenic designer Robert Brill, costume designer David Reynoso, lighting designer Paul Whitaker, sound designer Nick Drashner and dramaturg Gabriel Greene. In a press release advancing the production, Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley writes, “I am in awe of how playwright Sheri Wilner explores both sides of a culture war between artistic freedom and religious values with such honesty, humor and intelligence.” If You Go: “Kingdom City” runs Sept. 4-Oct. 5 in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, on the UCSD campus. Tickets start at $15. Call 858-550-1010; visit LaJollaPlayhouse.org.

Pacific Ridge School students perform at Edinburgh Fringe Festival More than 30,000 performers from around the world descend on Edinburgh each summer to take part in the world-famous Fringe Festival. This August, a group of actors from Pacific Ridge School joined their creative ranks, including RSF’s Megan Thode. Eleven Pacific Ridge students, accompanied by theatre instructor Allison Trattner, made the trip as members of the American High School Theatre Festival. The prestigious program runs in conjunction with the Fringe Festival, allowing the nation’s top high school drama groups to showcase their talent and gain valuable experience at an international level. The students performed “From Up Here,” by Liz Flahive, four times during their two-week stay in Scotland. The play tells the emotional story of family members struggling to put together the pieces of their broken lives after a jarring scenario. The character-driven narrative allowed for simplicity in terms of scenery and props — a necessity for the transatlantic flight as well as the unique requirements of a Fringe performance. The actors had just 15 minutes on either end of each performance to move set pieces and props in and out of an unfamiliar venue. They also had to stick to a strict, 90-minute running time, or face having the lights turned off mid-show. As preparation, the group performed “From Up Here” multiple times for the Pacific Ridge community before the trip. Not only did they spend months rehearsing lines and scene transitions, but also packing and unpacking their
entire set into a few suitcases. Besides performing, students were responsible for attracting audiences to each of their performances. The task of making their act stand out among 3,000 other shows clamoring for attention was made more challenging by the language barriers of a global crowd. The students relied on their creativity, finding ways to pass out fliers and interact with passers-by without breaking character, during a 20-minute pitch performance on the stage of Edinburgh’s famed Royal Mile. When they weren’t busy promoting, rehearsing or performing at the festival, students had the opportunity to explore. From the University of Edinburgh dormitories where they stayed, the group ventured to Dumbarton castle, watched the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and climbed Arthur’s Seat — a looming hill with panoramic views of the city. However, most of the students’ free time was spent taking advantage of all the Fringe had to offer. “There was this buzz … this tangible sense of excitement,” said senior Megan Thode. “Every alley, path, and crack in the mortar was plastered with posters for compelling shows. It was a great feeling knowing that inside every tiny theater and church basement, there was a creative production going on.” The students saw a multitude of diverse performances — from a one-man show to a South African gospel choir, from an improv troupe that creates musicals on the fly to a

‘San Diego Writers Ink Fall For Writing’ conference to be held Sept. 12-14 Writers have a chance to increase their skills at the third annual San Diego Writers Ink Fall For Writing conference Sept. 12-14. Classes and workshops run the gamut from fiction, memoir and poetry writing, to collage and marketing classes. When asked what benefits she thought writers would get from attending a writers conference like this, Judy Reeves, a writer, teacher and “writing-practice provocateur,”
said, “The variety of topics means there’s something for almost every writer, and the short duration gives writers an opportunity to get a taste of something they might like to study in depth through a longer workshop or class. With so many instructors leading workshops on so many different subjects, participants get a chance to meet instructors they might want to work with in the future.” For a fraction of what it would cost to attend a class or
two, the San Diego Writers, Ink (SDWI) is offering a full weekend of classes, workshops, and parties at the third annual Fall For Writing Conference. Preregistration is $120 for members or $140 for non-members for up to 10 sessions. At the door, it’s $5 more for each, or $25 a class. Membership is $35 a year. SDWI is a 501(c)3 nonprofit.

Tenor Fernando Varela to sing at Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe event Sept. 19
High Holiday Services offered to all at Chabad Jewish Center of RSF
Community Concerts of RSF will present tenor Fernando Varela at the Village Church on Friday, Sept 19. Doors open at The Fellowship Hall at 6:15 p.m. for wine, sponsored by Northern Trust, and light supper selections catered by Whole Foods, plus Yummy Cupcakes and other treats for dessert during intermission. Varela will perform in the Village Church Sanctuary, taking advantage of its beautiful acoustics, though all other festivities of the evening will be in the Fellowship Hall. Varela was discovered on YouTube by hit-maker and 16-time Grammy Award winner David Foster. Ultimately, he won Foster’s “Born to Sing” contest, culminating in a guest appearance with David Foster and Friends at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. His performance was reviewed as a show-stopper and has been followed by numerous appearances with Foster, singing alongside an incredible list of superstars including Barbra Streisand, Lionel Richie, Neil Diamond, Babyface, Keith Urban and so many more. His earlier experiences included Central Florida Lyric Opera, with performances in more than 16 fully staged operas and hundreds of concerts. His favorite role remains “Madama Butterfly’”s Lieutenant Pinkerton in a production directed by Metropolitan Opera legend Licia Albanese. She has said of Varela, “At 20 years old he is better than Pavarotti (at that age).”
In 2004, he joined the Resident Artist Program with the Palm Beach Opera, which led him to work with Maestro Placido Domingo, an incredible experience that drastically changed his career. His global performances span more than 31 countries in which he has won critical acclaim. He has performed for 50,000 guests in India and debuted his orchestral pops concerts in Canada and Florida. More recently, he was David Foster’s guest with the National Symphony at The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Each concert has been met with rave reviews from his presenters and the media. Varela also enjoys “crossover” music, singing beautifully orchestrated songs from “Orbison Medley” to John Denver’s “Annie’s Song,” and numerous other exciting titles. 2012 closed out with an Asian tour of five countries with David Foster and Friends, inspiring standing ovations for him on every occasion. Single tickets are $75 each, the all-4 Concert Season ticket is $225. Tickets are by mail only: PO Box 2781, RSF 92067. (Include w/ payment: name, address, phone and email) Your check is appreciated and we also accept MasterCard and Visa. There is no charge for children accompanied by an adult ticket-holder.

awkward lots. “The consensus of the (Osuna Committee) group is that we’d like to see the whole property stay in its natural setting,” Yahr said. “The horse operation creates a nice mix with the adobe because it’s really how the property operated in the past.” The adobe is the oldest in California that sits in its natural setting and links Rancho Santa Fe to the early history of California and San Diego. For the past couple of years, it has even become a field trip destination for R. Roger Rowe School students, who visit to make adobe bricks as part of their
studies of early California. The Loomis horse facility on the site was one of the first horse facilities in Rancho Santa Fe, a nod to the area’s equestrian heritage. The adobe was first constructed in 1831 and remodeled in 1925 by Lilian Rice; she removed the long porch from the front, added the fireplace to the living room and added a barrel-tile roof to replace a thatched roof. A kitchen and enclosed porch were added in the 1930s. In 2005, an eight-lot subdivision on the Osuna property was under review by the Covenant Design Review Committee. In the subdivision plan, there was no protection provided for the adobe. Yahr said at the time that the RSF Association felt
the opportunity would be lost to preserve the adobe and the open space if the subdivision moved forward, driving its acquisition of the property in 2006. The intent to purchase the property went out in April 2006, and members had 30 days to file a petition to trigger a vote, but no member objected. Yahr said Osuna was appraised twice — in March 2006 for $14 million and in May 2006 for $12 million, which became the purchase price. The purchase was made with $7 million from the Covenant Enhancement Fund and $5 million from a bank loan that was fully repaid in 2010. Last year, some residents raised questions about the purchase, arguing that it had

never been vetted by the Finance Committee and that the intent to purchase the property lacked critical facts. A lot split was completed for the property and the single-family home was sold for $1.6 million. The horse facility is permitted to board 50 horses. The stables are run by Grand Prix champion Hap Hansen and managed by RSF Association staff member Daria Quay. Since the acquisition of the property, the horse ranch has been operating at a profit, Yahr said. The ranch collects rent from boarders ranging from $790 to $1,140 a month. In 2007, the ranch had a profit of $23,325 and as of June 2014, the revenues were $501,597 and expenses were $443,893, resulting in a $57,705 profit. The Amigos de Osuna was founded with the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation to raise money for work moving forward on the adobe. Work already completed in-

Licosati said the committee wants to take it to a vote because members believe they should add another layer of transparency. Heather Slosar, board director and chair of the pool and fitness committee, gave a brief update on the work they have completed so far and the tentative numbers and plans they are looking at. To build the fitness and pool center has been estimated at from $11.8 million to $15.5 million. The pro-
cludes stucco removal and structural and adobe repairs. Future plans include the adobe renovation, which Yahr said will recognize the various levels of history — the façade will reflect the 1800s, reconstructing the long porch; the bedrooms, the 1830s; and the living room left untouched as a tribute to Rice’s contributions. The non-historical kitchen and enclosed porch in the back will be removed, and the Rice-era tile floors will remain in the living room, but the rest of the adobe will be restored to wood floors. Yahr estimates the cost of the restoration to be about $350,000. Plans also include an event lawn, an outdoor kitchen, picnic and passive areas, and open space trails. All the work planned for the site, including the restoration, grounds and community facilities and segregation of the horse operation from the adobe grounds, is estimated to cost around posed location is between the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club players’ clubhouse and the RSF Tennis Club clubhouse, and preliminary plans include an adult pool, family pool, splash pad and spa, plus a 15,000-squarefoot fitness center. By comparison, the player’s clubhouse is 13,500 square feet. Rather than a big upfront initiation fee, Slosar said there would be a $1,500 processing fee, plus $190 monthly membership dues. They anticipate selling 650 memberships in the preopening months, about 30 percent of the community. Greg Gruzdowich, a fi-
$875,000. “The Amigos de Osuna is attempting to raise all of the funds,” Yahr said, noting there is the option of tapping the Covenant Enhancement Fund. But the Osuna Committee members understand there is a lot of demand for use of that money, so they have placed it at the bottom of their list of funding possibilities. Yahr said the committee members are eager to get the restoration going: All they need is the funds. Eggleston said one option is for the RSF Association to sell some of the Osuna property land; some of that money could be used for the adobe restoration, with the rest returning to the Covenant Enhancement Fund. Yahr noted that if the RSF Association board elected to take a different approach with the property, the committee would have to contemplate the future of its historical asset.
nance committee member, wondered whether those were enough data points to go out for a vote on the project without spending the $350,000. Slosar said they would rather have the design drawings and real costs for the community to vote on the project. Finance committee member Ken Bien agreed that it is a prudent approach. Slosar said they would seek the advice of the finance committee on where the $350,000 should come from — most likely from unrestricted reserves.

This letter is a response to that of Catherine Fox, RSF Association Pool and Fitness Committee member, in Opinion/Letters to the Editor, Aug. 28. In last week’s RSF Review letter to the editor by a member of the RSF Pool and Fitness Committee, the committee member’s response to concerns raised about the pool and fitness center did not fully address the opposing view about the need for these facilities. First, the letter addressed the financial defense of the expense by saying that the funds are already available so there would be no need to raise fees. The letter did not point out that the money would come from the Association fees that we have all paid, including those of us who will not be using the pool and fitness facilities. The extra funds are there because the Association doesn’t budget properly for necessary maintenance activities or for bringing in services that the community has asked for. This is a priority issue, not a funding issue. There are many more important uses for the money as discussed below. Second, you say the expense for the pool and fitness center is justified in your larger vision of having a community hub. We already have a successful community hub. It is the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, which has introduced very popular programs that are well attended (Luau Party, Mother’s Day and Easter Brunch, Holiday Party for Kids, complimentary tastings, Sunday Night Family BBQ, Yappy Hour, a restaurant, moonlight dinners for couples, a book club, guest lecturers, to name a few). Simply owning a house in the Ranch gives access to all of these activities and opportunities for the community. Membership in the pool and fitness facilities can be no more a community hub than the Tennis Club and Riding Club. Third, the goal of the project is to enhance property values by having a pool and fitness center. I fail to understand this logic. The pool and fitness center will require an initiation fee and monthly fees, same as the Tennis Club and Riding Club. No buyer will decide to pay more for a house so that they can join a pool and fitness center, any more than they will pay more so they can join a Tennis Club or Riding Club. What would enhance values is having the Association do those things it should have been doing all along: maintain the landscape and roads, reduce fire dangers and road hazards, provide cell phone and Internet coverage. Why not clean up the dead and dying vegetation areas along all of the roads? The drought is taking a terrible toll. Repair all the rustic fences as promised last year. Clean up the shaggy eucalyptus trees, dead palm frond skirts, dead brush, broken branches, leaf debris everywhere in the ranch. These are, after all, a fire hazard to the entire community. Pick up the tossed beer bottles (I counted seven on just one block of road) and other trash, as well as the junk pile building up at the Riding Club. Fix the falling down fence on the backside of the Riding Club (something more attractive than the plank fence that is braced by two by fours). Underground the utility lines (sometimes as many as six) that crisscross major evacuation corridors. The Association says it would be too expensive, to underground them all, then at least underground the ones that provide a hazard (not to mention an eyesore) should the poles come down in an earthquake. Some poles are braced by multiple structures just to keep them upright. Clear the weeds out of the drainage ditches alongside the school; the ditches are, after all, there for a reason. The crumbling roads are another serious issue. The county should be asked to go in with the Association to repair roads sliding down hilly curves.

the cost of bringing residents the communication services of the 21st century First impressions count for a potential buyer. When a community looks dilapidated, its road crumbling, its fences sagging, and then the seller has to explain about lack of communication services, most buyers look elsewhere. The Ranch no longer looks rustic, it looks neglected. Prospective buyers obviously feel the same way. What potential buyer could get beyond the appearance of the Ranch and lack of services to care that there is a swimming pool and fitness center…. somewhere? This project will not enhance property value and will not provide a community hub. The letter was correct in saying that the Association had plenty of money. Unfortunately, the board, driven by a few members with vested interests, has a painful history of using Association dues for ill-conceived projects that benefit only the few at the expense of the many. Pat Amtower Rancho Santa Fe
The RSF Garden Club gone? I was stunned to read in the last Review that the RSF Garden Club Board of Directors had put the Garden Club up for sale. The obvious potential buyer for the property is the school. School authorities have indicated the property would become a parking lot. The problem is that once the school takes possession, the Art Jury cannot control what the school does with the property. Control reverts to the California State Architect. The school could build a 20-floor high rise on the site and the Ranch would have no recourse. As I remember, Plan “A” was to sell the building to the Association and donate the sale proceeds to the RSF Foundation for community enhancement — a noble idea before Ranch residents rejected it. There could be a Plan “B” — give the Garden Club to the RSF Foundation, along with the $500,000 bank account. Agree to raise money, which would allow the Foundation to remodel the end of the building into offices for itself. An employee of the Foundation could be designated as on-site part-time manager, negating the need and expense of a full-time manager. In this way the Garden Club could function as it has since 1926, the Foundation would have a place to hold its soirees, be back on the Ranch where it belongs, in a building of its own and without any rental obligations. A win-win deal all around. There is, however, one problem. The Foundation has recently occupied a new office off the Ranch and may for various reasons not want to move. The Ranch has been very generous to the Foundation and perhaps it is time for the Foundation to step up to the plate. After all, isn’t the mission of the Foundation the enhancement of the Ranch? The Foundation can always sub-lease its present office space when the new facilities are completed. David S. Herrington 40-year resident

‘Uncorked’ kicks off golf tournament fundraiser for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation The Schillings of Rancho Santa Fe are rallying for Type 1 diabetes awareness, research and an eventual cure after a life-changing diagnosis rocked their family two years ago. In 2012, Christian and Sue Schilling’s son, Christopher, was diagnosed at age 7. They did not sit idle long, educating themselves and immediately starting Christopher’s Foundation to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation San Diego and find a cure for juvenile diabetes. To help raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Christopher’s Foundation is holding Tee’d Off
for a Cure Invitational Golf Tournament on Monday, Sept. 15, at Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. A $250 entry fee includes golf with a cart, range balls, live and silent auctions, a raffle and dinner. All players also receive a free swing analysis and a Peter Grimm hat.

Martin/Brickell musical ‘Bright Star’ to shine on Globe stage
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER Excitement rocketed like a streak of lightning through The Old Globe rehearsal hall last week as actor, author, composer Steve Martin and singer/songwriter Edie Brickell showed up to tout the premiere of their musical “Bright Star.” “We’re here for a sneak preview of the show,” said Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. “The score is new, the story is new, and we’ve been involved with the project for a little over two years now, since Steve told me about this extraordinary collaboration with Edie Brickell, another giant in this business.” Although they knew each other for 20 years, it wasn’t until Martin (“Picasso at the Lapin”) and Brickell (“Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars”) ran into each other at a function that she told him she would love to write songs for him. He played her a tune; she wrote a vocal. He liked it so well he sent her more tunes, and eventually they had a 13-song bluegrass album, “Love Has Come For You.” At the 2014 Grammy Awards, the title track won for Best American Roots Song. “We discussed how much we love the musicals we came up with,” Martin said. “We had affection for those melodies and confidence in them. We just needed a story.” Brickell happened to come across a 100-year-old newspaper article that sparked the idea for the story of “Bright Star,” so she and Martin began to work on the 25 songs in the play. The action takes place in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina between 1923 and 1945. Billy Cane (A.J. Shively), a young soldier just back from World War II, is happy he’s home. When he meets Alice Murphy (Carmen Cusack), the editor of a southern literary journal, a powerful secret changes their lives. Martin, excited about his Globe collaborators, said, “We are working with the A-Team — Walter (Bobbie, director), Rob (Berman, musical director), Josh (Rhodes, choreographer) — and the cast and crew in this place are wonderful. The Old Globe has been such a rich experience. Along with Barry’s contribution and energy, the backstage people are so talented and great.” Brickell added, “We love working at The Old Globe. It has elevated everything we brought in. It’s opened new doors in the world that shocks and thrills me.” Rhodes — whose choreography was so fun to watch — calls the musical “a rather interesting piece.” “It’s very funny and the style of music moves around as it navigates our lives between who our parents want us to be and who we want to be. As a metaphor, there is the bright beacon of a star that helps us find our own Bright Star.” Treated to snippets of a few scenes, the story and music was enticing. When a radio announcer (Scott Wakefield) says in a booming voice, “Folks, we got us a young soldier just back from victory, who wants to say hello to his mama in Hayes Creek,” one instantly feels the era. The face of Billy Cane (A.J. Shively) is jubilant as he addresses his mother, “Hey mama, it’s your boy, Billy,” he says. “I know you’re listening cause you always are. I know what I

Photos by Diana Saenger. want to do now that I’m home, and I can’t wait to tell you.” Cut to another scene where two of Alice Murphy’s (Carmen Cusack) co-workers are inviting her to go bowling. She declines, even when told soldiers returning from war are asking about her. “All they want to do is swing dance, and I don’t know how,” she says, and then she breaks into a beautiful song, “Way Back in the Day.” Every
heartfelt word tells the story of pain and loss. When she starts to move in her memory, someone gently slips the shoes off her heels as she steps, then sails, across the stage into a white dress. It’s a magical moment in what promises to be one of many in this show. If you go: “Bright Star” runs Sept. 13-Nov. 2 at 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
‘Moms Making Six Figures’ helps moms stay at home while still having a career Angie Gange had a successful career in mortgage banking. Then the recession hit. With her oldest son soon entering college, the local mother of three began looking for a new job. “I needed to replace my income, but I also needed to have control over my time,” recalled Gange, adding that her husband, Paul, travels a lot on business. “Although our boys are not little ones anymore, I didn’t want to give up being available for them.” That’s when Gange’s friend introduced her to Moms Making Six Figures, a San Diego-based marketing company that allows women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income. She started with the company in 2011. “It’s probably the best decision I ever made,” Gange said. When Gange became part of the Moms Making Six Figures team, her sons were 17, 14 and 11. At the time, all three of her boys played baseball. She recalled attending more than 100 baseball games in her first five months with the company. “Our kids come first for us,” Gange said. “Moms Making Six Figures has helped me remain a stay-at-home-mom while still making a six-figure income.” Local resident Heidi Bartolotta founded Moms Making Six Figures with two other women in December 2009. For 12 years, Bartolotta had worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative. But after having two daughters, she no longer wanted to work late and travel. She wanted to be home. To stay at home and also have a career, Bartolotta launched the company, which represents a U.S.-based manufacturer. Since then, the marketing company has grown to nearly 400 team members across the country and around

Team members come from different backgrounds, education levels, work experience and locations. “It’s really rewarding,” said Bartolotta, whose daughters are now 8 and 10 years old. “It’s all women who have been able to control their lives.” Today, Gange’s oldest son Charlie is a senior at San Diego State University. Her younger two boys, Christian and Scotty, attend Torrey Pines High School, where they both play football. “Moms Making Six Figures has been a blessing for me because I really do get to be a mom first,” said Gange, who has a bachelor’s degree in business. “But I’m an entrepre-

Jewish Community of RSF welcomes second Torah Sunday, Aug. 24, marked a historic day of celebration as the Jewish Community of RSF welcomed its second Torah. Jewish tradition says that a new Torah is to be welcomed into a community just as one welcomes a bride and groom. After the scribe completed its last letters, a group of upcoming bar mitzvah students dressed the new torah with its custom-made torah cover by famous Judaic artist Micheol Muchnik and silver crown, joyous dancing took place as the torah was paraded to its new home. According to Rabbi Levi Raskin, director of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This scroll is a very appropriate addition to the RSF Jewish Center, as it represents the unbroken chain of Jewish tradition and survival. The ancient wisdom contained in this scroll is the essence of our identity as Jews. Possessing a second Torah now enables complete and proper Judaic worship in our Synagogue and is the cause for great pride and celebration. We are very grateful to Mrs. Ellen Marks and our many community members who participated in this generous gift and remain grateful to Dr. Robert Shillman for his donation of our first Torah.â&#x20AC;? Chabad Jewish Center is celebrating its eighth year of offering a home to all, regardless of background, affiliation or level of observance. No membership is necessary to participate in its many programs. The Chabad Center hosts community Shabbat dinners, services, classes, Hebrew School, holidays and many more events.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Amenities at Remington Club make senior living easier, elegant BY DIANE Y. WELCH Conveniently located within walking distance of the upscale Rancho Bernardo Shopping Plaza, yet enjoying scenic views of Rancho Bernardo close to a 72-hole golf course, is the award-winning Remington Club. The luxury continuing-care retirement community is part of the acclaimed Five Star Senior Living Group, a national health care and senior-living provider, one of the nation’s leaders in senior retirement facilities with more than 200 communities in 30 states. In artfully landscaped grounds with amenities to meet all the needs of residents — from the active 55-plus set to those who require skilled nursing care — Remington Club was voted the Pomerado News Reader’s Choice for senior living in 2013 and has been awarded five stars by Medicare for excellence. This year marks 26 years since it celebrated its official fall opening, and since then the community has consistently been top-rated — not only for its high quality of living, but also for its medical expertise, according to Executive Director Kirsten Kearnaghan, who said that she “is very proud” of Remington’s continued excellence. Services offered include assisted living, full-service independent living, respite or shortterm stays and skilled nursing care with 24-hour supervision. All residents enjoy the sophistication of a multilevel retirement community with the assurance that they are prepared for the future with skilled and friendly staff on site. The Remington Club comprises four buildings built on 17 acres along Hierba Drive and has about 400 residents in total, with 246 independent living apartments, 100 assisted living apartments, and skilled nursing accommodations for 59 residents. It also is home to a toprated health care center, and is the only one within a nine-mile radius with a Five Star Medicare rating, said Kearnaghan. “The health center specializes in short-term therapy stays and is convenient for residents, but is also available to the greater community of Rancho Bernardo,” said Kearnaghan. It serves those who need care after a hospital stay, or when family members may need a short respite break from daily caregiving with the advantage for residents that they are already familiar with the staff, she added. More like a five-star resort, the Spanish-style architecturally designed campus, with colorful Mediterranean plantings, shaded walkways and relaxing outdoor patios, has two elegant dining restaurants with two executive chefs, overseen by a manager ensuring the finest quality of cuisine is prepared that caters to all dietary needs. The community follows a hospitality model similar to that of a hotel offering many services included as standard, with custom services tailored for individual needs for an affordable fee. There is an active social calendar — in August there was a scheduled trip to see the La-

Returning to the private Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe, the evening will include a lavish cocktail reception, gourmet dinner by Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille, dancing to Something Simple, one of San Diego’s top local bands, and one-of-a-kind live auction items. The live auction items include a trip to the 2015 Master’s Golf Tournament, NCAA Final Four Championship tickets, and a stay at the historical Waldorf Astoria in New York City. In addition, there will be an exciting lineup of a silent, super-silent, and premium wine auction. With the support of the community, Casa de Amparo is able to raise significant funds to continue its programs and services. “What truly keeps me 100 percent motivated is raising money for Casa Kids and not wanting to see them hurt anymore,” said Kayleen Huffman, co-chair of Crystal Ball Gala. “I appreciate the opportunity to be part of helping Casa Kids envision a brighter future.” To book tickets and sponsorships, visit www.casadeamparo.org/events/crystalballgala. For information or to donate auction items, contact Anna Leyrer at aleyrer@casadeamparo. org or 760-566-3560.

There are five categories: Soup/Entrée, Salad, Side, Appetizer and Dessert. A previous winner was a chocolate lima cake, so be creative, think outside the bean pod! Remember, the beans have to taste better than when your mother made them. To participate as a chef in either the amateur or professional divisions, please register at www.sdheritage.org or call 760-632-9711 with questions. You will be vying with other chefs in your division for cash prizes and the coveted Lima Bean Trophy! The battle is on — the Lima Bean against all the other dry beans.

Architect’s rendering of Phase III at the Grauer School in Encinitas.
Grauer holds Phase III groundbreaking The Grauer School celebrated groundbreaking Aug. 23 for Phase III of campus construction that will become the updated home to 10,000 square feet of ecofriendly classrooms, including new spaces for the English and Mathematics departments. Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, former Encinitas Mayor Theresa Barth, Encinitas Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz, and Encinitas Chamber of Commerce Director Bob Gatinella were among the more than 150 attendees. Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, Arc Campaign Chair Carol The Grauer School is a Higgins, Grauer Board of Trustees Chairman David Meyer, small school by design, with and Founding Head of School Stuart Grauer shovel the first approximately 150 students round of dirt at The Grauer School’s groundbreaking. in grades 7-12. The update to the 1500 S. El Camino Real campus is not an expansion; rather, it is a conversion of temporary facilities into permanent structures. The Loewy Family Foundation has already funded the Loewy-Linz Innovation Lab, which will house The Grauer School’s award-winning FTC Robotics Team, Shockwave Robotics. Naming opportunities still exist, among which is the opportunity to incorporate sustainable design elements that will go toward achieving the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold standard by the U.S. Green Building Council. Architect Scott Thomas of Zagrodnik and Thomas Architects looks forward to incorporating green elements as well as special features into the campus. “We are planning for LEED Gold certification. Specifically, we hope to include solar panels, recycled materials, and energy efficient lighting and mechanical systems.” The new buildings will have 13 new classrooms, including four seminar rooms,, and new restrooms and locker rooms. Outdoor elements include a water element in a new central courtyard, a gazebo gathering space, and a new entry trellis/arbor to help identify the main entry to the campus. San Diego-based Pacific Building Group is providing preconstruction and general contracting services. This summer, it took the initial steps of helping relocate portable temporary classrooms to The Grauer School’s field, so classes can remain in session throughout the construction of the new permanent facilities. The anticipated completion date is Spring 2015. The school’s community of current and alumni families has internally raised more than $2.35 million. The $4 million project will be funded by a combination of naming opportunities, internal and short-term financing, or an angel gift. The Grauer School in Encinitas is a private college preparatory school balancing academic rigor with expeditionary learning. Grauer focuses on relationship-driven education and Socratic-style teaching and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and is a member of the California Association of Independent Schools, and the National Association of Independent Schools. The Grauer School is the only school in the region to be honored as a designated UNESCO school.

Lighting the Way to the Most Dramatic Home Theater in San Diego Lights! Camera! Action! It’s no wonder that a great production needs the right light to set the tone. Your home theater is no exception. Outstanding indoor lighting is one of the best ways to distinguish your home theater, and thanks in part to a recent article at CE Pro, here are the best ways to create ambiance and accentuate your space with sensational lighting.
1. Temperature Did you know that lighting temperature can significantly alter the quality of your home theater? Lights should ideally be set at 6,500 Kelvin. When light temperature is too strong, it can lead to off-set colors. For example, certain temperatures can change the fidelity of the screen, setting hues offbalance. Dimmable LED lighting is the ideal choice for lighting your home theater. Click here to see some examples of how we’ve used light to create the perfect ambiance using just the right temperatures. 2. Lighting Automation It goes without saying that watching Jurassic Park is completely different than tuning into the 6 o’ clock news. Your lighting should reflect the mood appropriately and automation can set that dream into motion. For example, when you watch the news, your lighting can be programmed
to illuminate into a bright setting. On the other hand, when you’re ready to watch a movie, the lights can dim to perfect theater level. Automation makes lighting incredibly easy. 3. Zoned Lighting In many cases, it makes sense to zone lighting controls. Depending on how your room is set up, you’ll want to take into consideration which part of the room deserves the greatest amount of light versus the area of the room that ought to be dim. Create light installations on unique circuits to customize the look even further. We’ll help you map out a lighting plan that best suits your home theater. 4. Accentuate with Light We work with many San Diegans who want a custom home theater. Regardless of the style you choose, you’ll want to use light to accentuate the space. We can use lighting to draw attention to any facet of the room
– a tiered ceiling, awesome speakers, movie posters or architectural details. Wall sconces, overhead LED lighting and backlighting are all great ways to draw attention to various aspects of the room without detracting from the main show. 5. Themed Theaters You can do so much with proper lighting. From setting the tone to creating a theme, lighting can make or break the space. In one of our recent projects, we used light to theme a Star Wars home theater. Imagine this space without any light at all! It would have instantly fallen flat. This project utilized automation, distributed audio and perfect lighting to create the perfect home theater theme. Get the right lighting in your home theater today.
