World No. 1-ranked junior Taylor Fritz, 17, of Rancho Santa Fe, captured the US Open boys’ tennis singles title Sept. 13, defeating countryman and No. 5 seed Tommy Paul, 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-2, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Fritz joins Paul, who beat Fritz in the French Open boys’ final in June, and Reilly Opelka (Wimbledon) as Americans to win Grand Slam boys’ singles titles this year. Fritz’s victory marks the first time since the US Open began hosting junior championships in 1973 that three different American boys won junior Slam titles in the same year. At a press conference after the match, Fritz was asked: After losing the second set, what did you tell yourself to get back in the match? Fritz said, “I just reminded myself that it’s the final of the US Open juniors. It’s my last (junior) tournament. I had to keep fighting. You know, once I just realized how important it was. I just couldn’t let myself down.”

Friends of San Pasqual Academy held a Team Penning event, “Teens, Jeans and Dreams,” Sept. 12 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds benefitting the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy. Team Penning is a timed competition where a team of three riders on horses attempt to put three of the same-numbered cows in a pen. The team that does this the fastest wins.

BY KAREN BILLING After last month’s Rancho Santa Fe School District board’s decision not to allow non-enrolled students to participate in school programs, the board set an official policy at its Sept. 11 meeting. “I’m in favor of the motion,” said board member Richard Burdge. “I think kids should be enrolled in the school to participate in our programs.” The vote to approve the policy was 3-1; Todd Buchner voted against it, saying he believes the school should be more open to the concept. Board member Marti Ritto was See POLICY, page 22

RSF School District parent forum Oct. 12 to tackle homework, tutoring, study skills BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District will host the second in a series of new parent forums at 8:05 a.m. Oct. 12. The first forum, held with the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation’s parent volunteer team, was held Sept. 8 and discussed

behavior and discipline. District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said she felt the forum worked very well. “I thought the format seemed very productive and constructive,” echoed RSF School Board Vice President Tyler Seltzer at the Sept. 11 board meeting. “I hope the

parents felt the same way.” The forums are the result of an effort to improve communication with parents and gather feedback on issues that parents want the district to “dig a little deeper on,” Delaney said. Each month’s forum will center on a specific top-

ic for a 90-minute discussion. Parents can fill out cards with comments or questions. Each forum will end with a district update. The topic of the Oct. 13 meeting will be homework, tutoring and study skills. The Nov. 10 meeting will be a discussion on

school board governance and budget. That meeting will start a little later at 8:40 a.m. and run to 10:10 a.m. because of the Veterans Day assembly. There will be no forum in December and 2016 forum topics are yet to be determined.

SB School District’s new progress reports RSF Education Foundation plans to receive positive feedback from teachers paint the town RED on Sept. 25 BY KRISTINA HOUCK With only slight revisions requested, teachers gave the Solana Beach School District’s new progress reports a passing grade. (Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe is part of the Solana Beach School District.) In light of the new Common Core State Standards, last year the district introduced new standards-based progress reports that use a numeric rubric. The old reports used a series of symbols to indicate student progress, with a letter grade for overall achievement for students in fourth through sixth grade. Approved by the school board last September, the standards-based progress reports assess student performance and measure student progress against grade level standards. They cover attendance, language arts, mathematics, science, social science, technology, physical education, other curricula, and life and career skills. Headed by Julie Norby, the district’s director of instructional services, a task force of teachers collaborated to create the revised reports over the summer of 2014. The new reports were used throughout the 2014-15 school year. Students receive progress reports three times each year, once per trimester. “The taskforce noted the rollout for the new progress reports was really quite smooth given what a significant change it was,” Superintendent Terry Decker said during the Sept. 10 board meeting. The task force, which included teachers

across all grade levels and from every school, reconvened over the summer to review recommendations from teachers. Teachers submitted their suggestions throughout the year and in a final survey sent to all teachers in June. After using the revised reports for a year, teachers recommended shortening the report to two pages rather than three. “Over and above everything else, that was our No. 1 mandate this summer,” Norby said. The task force shortened the report by revising language and including science and social science with technology, physical education and other curricula under a section called “additional curricula.” English language arts, mathematics, attendance, and life and career skills still have separate sections. Among other minor revisions throughout the report, the language in the “key to symbols” was revised. A “4” still means exceeding standard and a “3” still means meeting standard. A “2” now reads “partially meets standard.” It used to read “approaching standard.” A “1” now reads “does not meet standard.” It used to read “area of concern.” The board unanimously approved the revised progress reports for kindergarten through sixth grade. There were no changes to the transitional kindergarten report. The revisions require that the templates in the Report Card Maker software be reprogrammed. The cost for that service is $6,000, according to the board report.

Rancho Santa Fe will be covered in red as the RSF Education Foundation gets ready to kick off its Annual Giving Campaign with Red Envelope Day on Sept. 25. Amid red banners and festive balloons, parent volunteers will be on hand at R. Roger Rowe School all day, ready to accept contributions in the red envelopes that were distributed to school parents at the beginning of the year. The school band will be playing as volunteers hand out doughnut treats at morning drop-off and then popcorn at afternoon pick-up. This year, the day ends with an inaugural “Paint The Town Red” invitation-only evening reception for adults from 5:30-7 p.m., sponsored by and held at The Inn at RSF. “We want to celebrate the shared commitment of our school community and thank them for their support of the Foundation in a fun way,” said Foundation Co-Chair Alexia Bregman. The Annual Giving Campaign contributes five payments throughout the school year to meet the grant amount pledged to the district each year. Contributions from the Education Foundation ensure that the district can maintain the small class sizes, focused academics and enrichment programs that are the hallmark of R. Roger Rowe School. Class size averages 18:1 in K-8, versus 32:1 in the state. The amount pledged to the district for the 2015-2016 school year is $1.3 million, which the foundation hopes to

achieve through contributions received from 100 percent of school parents. The foundation encourages early contributions and pledges, since staff and programs for the year are already in place.

RSF Education Foundation hosts Scholars’ Circle Sept. 18 The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation will host an evening at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18 at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, for parents and sponsors of students at the R. Roger Rowe School in Rancho Santa Fe to learn about the foundation’s Scholars’ Circle. Scholars’ Circle plays a critical role in providing the base of fundraising for the Education Foundation’s Annual Giving Campaign. Scholars’ Circle members make contributions at significant levels, usually through multi-year pledges, which allow the RSF School District to plan for programs and attract the best teachers, knowing that some funding is in place. The Education Foundation is grateful for families who have the capability and desire to make these leadership contributions for the benefit of their children and all R. Roger Rowe School families. These philanthropic leaders are recognized at a special reception in the spring. There are 97 Scholars’ Circle enrolled families at the R. Roger Rowe School. This evening will start with cocktails and light fare where guests can mingle with fellow parents, including Scholars’ Circle members and school administration. There will be a brief presentation by Scholars’ Circle members and Superintendent Lindy Delaney. This is an invitation-only event for parents of the R. Roger Rowe School. For information about Scholars’ Circle membership, or to make your Scholars Circle contribution, contact Scholars Circle Coordinators Julie Buechler (jdbuechler@gmail.com ) or Shaunna Kahn (sksalzetti@sbcglobal.net), or Barbara Edwards at the RSF Education Foundation at 858-7561141, ext. 250 or edwards@rsfef.org.

Expert to discuss Native American pottery Oct. 3 at RSF Historical Society Native American expert Dr. James Kemp will discuss the pottery of Mata Ortiz from 10:30 a.m.-noon Oct. 3 at the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society. His talk at the Historical Society last fall on “Kachina Dolls and Dances� was to a full house. The pottery was crafted based on the ancient designs found in shards around the area of Mata Ortiz in Mexico, and today is collected and sold around the world, appreciated for its individual beauty and craftsmanship. Kemp, a resident of Julian, and a retired clinical professor at UC San Diego, became fascinated with Native American and other related cultures after moving to the Southwest from the East Coast. “I found a wealth of cultures only a day or two drive from San Diego,� he said. He will bring samples of the Mata Ortiz pottery in his collection to the presentation. Registration is required. Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for non-members. To register, call Sharon Alix, administrator, at the RSFHS Tuesday thru Friday, at 858-756-9291. La Flecha House, home of the RSFHS, is at 6036 La Flecha, Rancho Santa Fe, CA.

Torrey Pines students chosen for Pop Warner Scholarships Torrey Pines students Kailee Brashears and Roland Wheeler were awarded the prestigious Pop Warner College Scholarship for the amount of $2,500 each. This award is special because Torrey Pines Pop Warner only selected two applicants this year. The decision was Kailee Roland based on academic standing and an essay about what each Brashears Wheeler applicant would tell a 10-year-old child about Pop Warner. Kailee and Roland’s essays were moving and an amazing example of the inner and outer transformation that children can experience within the Torrey Pines Pop Warner program.

2007 fires, Heaven’s Gate among top challenges of RSF Patrol Chief’s 35 years • Having support of community, his family ‘makes the job easier,’ says Matt Wellhouser of his career BY KAREN BILLING In September 1980, Jimmy Carter was president, John McEnroe defeated Bjorn Borg to win the U.S. Open, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opened at Disneyland, “Les Misérables” premiered in Paris, and Matt Wellhouser joined the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol. Now serving and protecting as its chief, Wellhouser has been with the Patrol since he was a “young pup,” working his first day as a 23-year-old on Sept. 2, 1980. “They’ve treated me very well, and by and large, this is a place I look forward to coming to work,” Wellhouser said, reflecting as he marked his 35-year anniversary with the patrol. “I’ve really enjoyed working here. If you have a community that supports you, that makes the job easier.” Wellhouser grew up in Solana Beach and graduated from San Dieguito High School. He was still in college when he started his law enforcement career at the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department as a deputy in the weapons training unit, also working patrol and as a reserve deputy. Law enforcement seemed to be in his blood. His grandfather was a deputy sheriff in Montana in the late 1800s, riding a horse to patrol; and two of his second cousins are deputies in Oregon. While his father, Harry Wellhouser, worked the bulk of his career as an engineer and nuclear scientist with General Atomics, after he retired he was a reserve deputy sheriff for 10 years and helped start the Senior Volunteer Program. Harry passed away on June 30 at age 93, and Wellhouser now keeps his father’s badge on his office desk. While working at the sheriff’s department, Wellhouser heard about the opening for an officer at the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol, fairly new at the time, as it was founded in 1976. He was engaged to his future wife, Dawn (they married in November 1980), and was looking for a job with stability and benefits. “I thought I would stay here for a couple of years,” he said. “But this turned out to be a really good place to work; it kind of grows on you.” In 1980, homes in the Covenant did not have addresses, and Wellhouser and the Patrol worked off just people’s names. “For every single house in the Covenant, I could tell you their names,” he said. Internally, the Patrol assigned pin numbers to the homes, which made locating them a little easier; but it could still be a challenge finding homes in the night or in the fog. Street numbers wouldn’t arrive until 1984, when the 911 system came online in the Ranch. Five years after he started with the Patrol, he was promoted to sergeant and soon would take the reins as chief. The Patrol used to be run by both the RSF Fire Protection District and the Association, but in the late 1980s, the Association assumed full control. Then-Association Manager Walt Ekard promoted Wellhouser to chief. In his time at the Patrol, he served under RSF Fire Protection District Chiefs Jim Fox and then his son, Peter Fox, Association Managers Rea Mowery, George Parish, Ekard, Pete Smith, Acting Manager Ivan Holler and Bill Overton, as well as a new Association board almost every three years. “I don’t think I would’ve lasted this long if I didn’t have a really good relationship with the Association,” Wellhouser said. “I’m very lucky that my personality seems to fit in here.” He is also an active member of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary and served as president in 2012-13. Over the years, the biggest challenges he has faced were during the 2007 wildfires and the 1997 Heaven’s Gate incident, when the bodies of 39 members of a religious group were found after a mass suicide in a Rancho Santa Fe mansion. “The fires were just your worst nightmare, and we were fortunate that it worked out and no one was harmed or killed,” Wellhouser said of that stressful, sleepless time. In 1997, Wellhouser was coaching a Little League game when his pager went off. He used his primitive mobile phone to call and find out there had been a serious incident on Colina Norte. He arrived to find Lago Lindo closed off, cop cars everywhere and four helicopters circling the home. He recalls being briefed by the county sheriff’s lieutenant in his car as if it were a movie, the lieutenant casually eating his lunch while describing an extremely rare event for the Ranch. After the county administrators had left, Wellhouser was left to manage the some 40 news trucks and seemingly hundreds of reporters who remained. Through coordination with the county and California Highway Patrol, he gave them 20 minutes in front of the home before they were all forced to leave — Wellhouser’s main priority was representing the interests of the surrounding homeowners, to clear the area of the mass of invasive press. Working in Rancho Santa Fe has also given him plenty of experience with a menagerie of wildlife. He’s learned how to stop an escaped tortoise and has wrangled geese, ducks, pot belly pigs, horses, cattle and llamas. “Llamas are tough, that’s a challenge there,” Wellhouser said. “We’ve dealt with birds in houses, lizards in the stove, deer and coyotes stuck in fences.” The Patrol fields plenty of strange requests (which he would not disclose) and also helps put on the annual Fourth of July and Halloween Parades, a bigger job than one might expect.

While the work has its lighthearted aspects, the job is a serious one. Wellhouser carries a weapon and understands that those wearing a uniform can sometimes become a target. “This job is inherently dangerous and you have to be careful,” he said, noting that over the years, RSF Patrol cars have been shot at twice, although thankfully neither incident resulted in an injury to an officer. “This is a very nice community, and knock on wood, there’s a very low crime rate.” As dedicated as he is to his post, Wellhouser is just as dedicated to his family. He is grateful for the backing and understanding given by his two children, Christina and Ryan, and his wife. “She’s been my rock,” Wellhouser said of Dawn. “All of the Patrol officers have missed holidays, birthdays, special occasions, and the wives have taken up the slack. They’re kind of like a military wife, and I think they get forgotten about.” Wellhouser got emoSee CHIEF, page 22

HAILING THE CHIEF • RSF Fire Chief Tony Michel: “We are very fortunate to have Matt in Rancho Santa Fe. He is a true asset to community and goes above and beyond, not only to ensure the safety of the residents but to make the community a better place as a whole. The Fire District considers it a privilege to have a partner like Matt.” • Jim Ashcraft, RSF Fire Protection District Board president: “Matt Wellhouser is not only Rancho Santa Fe’s most dedicated protector for the past 35 years, but he is a kind, friendly and respectful person. He is a good family man who has taken our community on his shoulders and been the first to respond when we need protection. We have been very fortunate to have Matt as a part of our community.” • Bill Overton, RSF Association manager: ‘The Association has been fortunate to have Chief Wellhouser serving and protecting the community for 35 years. Matt is a dedicated leader, a consummate professional and a great guy. He is respected by residents, co-workers and law enforcement colleagues alike. I’d like to thank him for his service and congratulate him on this milestone.” • Robert Green, RSF Association building commissioner: “Matt gets to deal with the real-life drama, and he and his team do so calmly and efficiently. It has been a real privilege to work with him over the years.”

Jennifer Brokaw to speak on ‘values-based’ medical care at RSF event At Oct. 1 Golf Club tea, daughter of TV’s Tom Brokaw to explain need for discussion before treatment begins BY ERIN WEIDNER Jennifer Brokaw, M.D., a board-certified emergency care physician, patient advocate and daughter of awardwinning television anchor and author Tom Brokaw, will speak at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club at 2 p.m. Oct. 1. (See ticket information at the end of this interview.) Her presentation speaks to the importance of having those important “What If?” conversations with our friends, our children and our own parents. Dr. Brokaw was invited to speak by Cora Tellez of AmazingCARE Network (ACN), an organization that encourages people to plan for, talk about, and thrive through the health challenges that we encounter “Your individual values, your persona, and your individas we move through our lives. uality should be taken into account when you are seekTickets are available for ing treatment,” says Dr. Jennifer Brokaw about the the event, an afternoon tea, movement for “values-based” medical treatment. Courat www.AmazingCareNet- tesy photo work.com or on Facebook/ amazingcarenetwork. Tickets are free for ACN members, $38 for a Friend of ACN or $50 for the public. Information is also available by calling 858-756-1480. Interviewer Erin Weidner has heard Brokaw speak before, has seen her TEDx talks on YouTube (search for Jen/Tom Brokaw, as there are several) and wanted to talk with her about her upcoming visit to Rancho Santa Fe. Her hope was that if RSF locals “have a better idea

about her topic, her presentation won’t be missed by those who so need to hear her message — to hear the terminology and structure we can use with our loved ones”: Can you tell us a little bit more about values-based medical care, and how this is changing the landscape? Brokaw: Value-based medical care has two meanings. The government now has a push for “value-based” medical care, not the “values-based” term that I’ve used. Value-based medical care is a term that is being bandied about, because Medicare is trying to change, or realign, the incentives for hospitals and physicians to give better quality of care. They’re not just paying for procedures, or for hospital days, they are actually paying for outcomes now. That is the general, “value-based” medical care term in use. Unfortunately, this has turned into more of a financial term, an economic tool to reimburse Medicare — a lump sum with penalties. It’s certainly related to values-based medical care, but quite different. When I am speaking about “values-based” medical care, this is the idea that your individual values, your persona, and your individuality should be taken into account when you are seeking treatment. Your provider, the people who are offering options for your medical treatment and care, should be aware of what you want to accomplish — what your fears are around your life and the direction your health may go; what compromises you would be willing to make; and what compromises you would not be willing to make. These decisions need to be made before any treatment plan is recommended, because we’re not (all alike). What bothered me a few years ago when the human genome was elucidated, was the talk about “personalized medicine.” This meant, according to the people who were coining the phrase, that you would be treating disease according to the genes that you have. San Diego is a hotbed for genomic medicine. Thankfully, this terminology has now shifted to a “precision medicine” label, which is much more appropriate. To me, personalized medicine means that you’re looking at the whole person, their values, their goals, their fears and their past experiences. You’re providing counsel and shared medical decision-making according to those values. And that’s well beyond what you can discover from looking solely at a genomic sequence. Yes, the person as a whole. Can you tell me about what a day might look like in your patient advocacy work? Brokaw: I am not currently doing patient advocacy ... so I am referring that to other practitioners. Good Medicine (my patient advocacy practice) was open for about 5 1/2 years. People usually came to me in a moment of crisis or urgency. It was either someone close to the patient, or the patient. It was often the caregiver for a loved one that would contact us. Generally it was around either a feeling the doctors they were seeing were not quite “getting it,” were not understanding what their goals were. The family felt like something was missing, and that is often what created the paranoia and fear within the family unit, around the quality of the medical care they were receiving.

‘I wanted to talk about things seldom talked about,’ says Jewel of new bio Singer to appear Sept. 24 in La Jolla for her book, ‘Never Broken’ BY ASHLEY MACKIN Jewel, known for her songs “Hands,” “You Were Meant For Me,” and “Who Will Save Your Soul” in the mid- and late ’90s, will discuss and sign her new book, “Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half the Story,” at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 700 Prospect St., La Jolla. Although she has written a book of poems and a children’s book, this is Jewel’s first long-form nonfiction. It was written to answer the question the singer said she is asked most: How did you go from moving out at age 15 and being homeless, to turning things around and getting where you are now? “I wanted to write a book showing people what my life has really been like, the side that people don’t know,” Jewel told this newspaper. “A lot of people know some general, broad strokes,

family home at 15, and found herself homeless by 18, living in her car in San Diego. “I knew statistically girls like me end up in a ditch or in an abusive relationship or addicted to drugs,” she said. “I realized if I didn’t turn my life around, I’d be in trouble, so I began writing songs about my worst fears and darkest secrets — the things you think make you unlovable. I knew if I turned to drugs it Singer-songwriter Jewel would ruin me, so I turned will sign her book “Never to writing and honesty, Broken: Songs Are Only which ended up giving me a Half the Story” on Sept. 24 career. “The songs were about at La Jolla’s Museum of the shift in my thinking, to Contemporary Art San how I am empowered and Diego campus. the architect of my own life.

Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach, and lived with singer Steve Poltz near La Jolla. Although she said she loved her time in town, many coffeehouses charged to perform, which was a stumbling block for the aspiring singer. “They thought I should pay for the exposure to an audience,” Jewel said. Unable to do so, and in need of a paycheck, she went with a proposition to a tiny place about to go out of business called Innerchange Coffeehouse on Turquoise Street in Pacific Beach. “I told them if I brought people in, I would keep the door money and they would keep the coffee sales. But then I had to find people who wanted to hear me sing, which was hard because I wasn’t known. But the audience built, two by two, then four, and then eight people, and then it was 20, and then 50, then standing room only, then two shows a night,” she said. Because she was singing from an honest place of facing adversity, her San Diego audience “saw themselves” in her songs, which are “the

snakeskin of my soul” and represent what she’s overcome and her hopes for the future. Psychologically abused by her father as a child and losing a job because she wouldn’t sleep with her boss as a young adult, Jewel said she’s experienced a lot in life, but didn’t want to share it in a salacious way. “I didn’t write it as a tell-all, there’s lots of things I left out, but I wanted to let people see (my struggles) in a transparent way, what I’ve been doing with my life, and how I kept picking myself up and finding resilience,” she said. “The conclusion is that it isn’t about avoiding problems, it’s about the spirit with which I faced my problems that allowed me to be open and capable of love and trust, when a lot of people make you feel quite broken. I don’t believe we can be broken; I don’t think a soul can be broken.” Although some content is shocking, Jewel said she didn’t write it to shock people, but to open up the discussion or encourage people to be open about their strug-

gles. In looking at the abuse she faced as a child, she said she learned that abuse is a “learned skill” and that she had to examine her situation — and write about it — to avoid perpetuating the cycle with her son Kase, now 4. “When you are raised in an abusive environment, you are going to abuse, unless you can learn to change that emotional language. And I was able to change it so I will never be abusive to my son, but nobody has that kind of conversation out loud,” Jewel said. “We blame people and they feel so ashamed they can’t talk about it or look at themselves honestly. So I wanted to talk about things that are seldom talked about. It’s a bracing book. But there is nothing bitter, angry or vengeful in it, it’s about taking ownership of what my life is. … That section was a hard part to write, and I didn’t share it to shock people or make them hate my dad.” Part of taking ownership of her life, she said, was nurturing her own soul so See JEWEL, page 22

Music of their era began in the mid 1920s with a form of a sweet and melodic jazz, often including violins. Among the artists were Paul Whiteman, Ted Lewis, Rudy Vallee and Fred Waring. Then in the 1930s a new movement in jazz took form and took off – “swing” with a new crop of musicians such as Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Artie Shaw. During and soon after World War II, Earl Hines, Dizzy Gillespie and Lionel Hampton introduced Bebop style to jazz. From the 1950s to the 1970s performers such as Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and Stan Kenton found their direction and added to the already vibrant vibe of 20th century music. The Rancho Santa Big Band is a 17-piece swing orchestra of the highest quality dedicated to the preservation and performance of the music of the “Greatest Generation” also known as the Swing Era. It was conceived by former band director, the late Professor Jack Wheaton, along with Dominick Addario, M.D., and the late John Feighner M.D., and is in its 14th year. Wheaton’s illustrious career included the International Association for Jazz Education and The Musicians Association of SD County of which he presided. He authored 15 books, 10 CDs and film scores; received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Jazz Educators of California; an Emmy for the Stan Kenton Collegiate Neophonic ABC Special; con-

This swing orchestra is big, bold and performs the remarkable vintage arrangements of the talented musician/ composers of the 1930s and ‘40s in a club atmosphere of tables and a bring-your-own appetizers. Conducted by longtime band member and bassist Dave Murray, the line-up includes some of the finest musicians in Southern California, including Bob Mathes, Les Keppics, Robbie Smith and Chris Klich. Some of the band’s members have played with Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Jimmy Dorsey and Glenn Miller, and have backed up greats such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, Peggy Lee and more. This non-profit organization has contributed to various San Diego charities, including the

Camp Pendleton Marine Family Food Drive, KSDS Radio, and local organizations in their home town. The band has performed on the greens at both the La Jolla Cove and Rancho Santa Fe July 4th concerts. Band vocalist and event coordinator, Marie Addario brings her soulful sound to swing. Having hailed from the NY metropolitan area, she has been playing and performing popular, folk, traditional (Dixieland) and swing music since her early teens. Dom Addario, producer and trumpeter of the RSF Big Band, performed with groups and orchestras on the east and west coasts throughout his musical career and does an exacting, crowd-exciting rendition of Louie Armstrong. (“It’s a bit confusing”, he said, “but a fan once told me that I did Louie, better than Louie. ) When not in concert, Dom is a forensic psychiatrist with a practice in San Diego, and Marie is the editor-in-chief of Gastronome, La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs National food and wine magazine.

Local author’s book aims to help children cope with divorce BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although divorce is never easy, a Del Mar doctor is helping make a difficult topic easier for children to understand through a new book. Written by Dr. Azmaira Maker, “Family Changes: Explaining Divorce to Children” tackles a complicated topic in compassionate, child-friendly terms. “It’s not the divorce that can permanently harm children, even though it’s shocking and upsetting. It’s how we do the divorce that can have an impact,” Maker said. “This is really about how we do it well so kids can bounce back and move on.” “Family Changes” is Maker’s first book, but she came up with the concept while she was still in college. With 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical psychologist, Maker earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Vassar College in New York and both a master’s and doctorate degree in clinical psychology from the University of Michigan. She completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan Hospital. Throughout her career, Maker has worked as a clinician, Azmaira Maker professor, supervisor and researcher, nationally and internationally. Her clinical expertise includes work in inpatient and outpatient hospitals, outpatient clinics, schools and counseling centers. She has also consulted internationally with non-governmental organizations. About eight years ago, Maker opened her private practice in Carmel Valley, where she works with children, adults and families. “I enjoy helping people,” said Maker, who is originally from Pakistan. She previously lived in Carmel Valley before she and her family recently relocated to Del Mar. “Helping

&

someone feel better, do better, be happier — that feels so good.” While studying at the University of Michigan, Maker participated in a yearlong internship at the law school’s family law clinic, where she often worked with children. Having worked with children ever since, she discovered a need for a children’s book on divorce, specifically for children ages 4 to 8. “I’ve always wanted to use a book to help kids better understand,” said Maker, who also uses art, puppets and playtime when working with children. “I really wanted a tool as well as a guide for parents.” With a cast of colorful characters, “Family Changes” features a young bunny named Zoey, who struggles with her parents’ divorce. She has questions and feelings that children are likely to share. Illustrated by Polona Lovsin, the informational and interactive children’s book includes a comprehensive note to parents and a list of child-focused questions. “It’s helpful for parents to know what kids will ask,” said Maker, who is writing several other books. “Parents can think about those questions in advance. I recommend both parents have the same responses so they don’t confuse the child. It’s most effective when both parents are on the same page.” Approximately 40 to 50 percent of all marriages in the United States end in divorce, probably affecting more than 1.5 million children each year, according to an article in the Scientific American Magazine. With that divorce rate, the book isn’t intended only for parents, but therapists, social workers, mediators, lawyers and teachers — anyone working with children. “It opens up the dialogue,” Maker said. “Divorce is not an uncommon factor in our lives. Children are living with it. This can help children understand it. “I hope people use it in the best interest of the kids,” she added. “I think it can be very helpful.” “Family Changes” is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and on Maker’s website.

review what was being done medically for our clients, it was spot-on. It was a rare thing for me to find that someone was actually negligent, very rare. They needed the comfort of knowing that someone who “knows what’s going on” is taking a look at it, and thinks the care was appropriate, a confirmation? Brokaw: Yes, but the breakdown was really in the communication, not the care. I think that most physicians have not had formal training on how to communicate well with families and patients around difficult topics like a serious medical illness, or end-of-life issues. Communicating a prognosis or guidance to families needs to be at the right time, when they are ready and able to hear it. That’s just not taught in medical school, so most physicians are not skilled in it. This leads to the breakdown in communication and trust. This is where people feel like they need a physician advocate, when really what they need is a communication facilitator. That’s a lot of what I did. What are you doing

now? Brokaw: I am speaking quite a bit. I’ve had a couple of high-profile talks, one in 2010 at TED and then I was invited to Chicago Ideas Week two years ago, their version of TED, and gave a talk there. I’ve subsequently been invited to do a lot of speaking. My dad and I were just the featured speakers at Chautauqua Institution, a 100-year-old academic retreat in the Berkshires. We somewhat repeated what we’d done in 2010, but in the interceding years my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and has written a book about his experience (“A Lucky Life Interrupted: A Memoir of Hope”). We had an updated conversation on stage in front of about 1,500 people. We spoke about his illness and his journey, my role as an advocate, and what I feel every family should be doing before illness strikes. The “What if?” conversation? How have you seen this important conversation change lives? Brokaw: I feel evangelical about this message. I’m also working on a web-based platform to give people access to advocacy and advo-

cates, so this is where ACN and my efforts dovetail nicely. My focus is to help people get organized for care, and we’re getting them to local providers of services. We’re getting them to geriatric care providers, an elder care attorney and financial advisers to help families get organized around care and be able to execute their wishes in calm fashion; to be able to take control early on and not find themselves in a hair-on-fire moment. While they’re dealing with the trauma of a diagnosis and an illness? Brokaw: There’s an article in JAMA in 2013 that looked at 1,000 people who were admitted to the hospital over age 55, and the findings were dramatic. Within 48 hours of getting admitted to the hospital, almost half of these patients needed help with a major medical decision; of those, another half needed help with that decision, they were unable to make that decision for themselves; and a quarter of those seniors needed every decision made for them. Those figures really reflect my experience in health care (as an emergency room physician). I felt that JAMA article alone was

a call to action. I use it as my personal motivator to get this platform functioning. I think people are unprepared to make decisions, and when they have to make decisions on behalf of someone else, it’s an incredibly emotionally packed decision — with lasting ramifications for the decisionmaker also, not just the patient. I’m really clear that we need to do a better job of helping families and caregivers make those decisions. Let’s face it, it’s always the women. Seventy-five percent of the time it is the woman who is put in that position, and usually it was a daughter. I agree that we need to begin to have these conversations, and I am excited for others to hear you. Brokaw: I’m an OK speaker, but the topic is so rich, what I find is that the interaction with the people listening, there are always such good questions and people offering insights that always enhance what I have to say. What do you hope attendees will take away from the tea, from the afternoon? Brokaw: I hope that

people will walk away feeling more engaged, more empowered with their health care, and motivated to take the steps needed to get organized, or at least review what directives they have in place often for decades. Maybe take the time to augment those directives, make them a little more meaningful for the decision maker, to review who their medical decision maker is. I’m going to speak to what makes a good medical decision maker. I think a lot of people have named their spouse, and often as we age, our spouses are aging with us and that person is not necessarily going to be the best able to make decisions. We’ll walk through the criteria for what makes a good “agent,” as I really want people to think about who their decision maker is, beyond what is written on their living will, often a document written with their attorney many years or decades ago. I hope I motivate people to write a letter or a note to their decision maker that incorporates some of the important facets people need to make clear, in the case of their inability to make their own health care decisions. My last question is

personal. As a daughter of a dad who watches my work as well, I wanted to ask you, what does your dad think about the work that you do? Brokaw: Oh, he’s unbelievably proud. I think he’s taken it on himself, particularly since he’s become ill, to use his disability, and his stature, to get the message out. He’s been truly incredible and opened the door to great opportunities. When he published his book, he talked about the work I do when he was being interviewed in a national forum. I’m truly grateful to my dad for having the courage to expose his own fragility and his ordeal in a way that has humanized this for a lot of people. Hopefully, it will motivate people to think about what they would want. Tickets are available for the 2 p.m. Oct. 1 Afternoon Tea at the RSF Golf Club online at www.AmazingCareNetwork.com or on Facebook/amazingcarenetwork. Tickets are complimentary for ACN members, $38 for a Friend of ACN or $50 for the general public. Additional information is available locally by calling Erin Weidner at 858-7561480.

From the Open Space Fund to the Covenant Club

Covenant Club: It’s the ‘vision thing’

Through the years, Association boards have made a lot of important decisions on our behalf. One that they make every year is an assessment on each property owner for what was called the Open Space Fund, now the Community Enhancement Fund. That assessment today is 2.5 cents of every dollar of property value. Doesn’t sound like much, does it? Well, the fund is over $6 million and the Association is collecting over $1 million a year from it. For what? Therein lies the rub. As I understand it, the fund started with very good intentions. The board wanted to protect our trails and felt that they needed some financial discretion to do that. Some time later, as could have been expected, the purpose was expanded as a way to protect against unwanted traffic. Then, that morphed into the protection of the historic heritage of our village. All the time the fund grew. Each year the board reviewed it, they made a conscious decision to keep the cash flowing. Then, along came Osuna Ranch. A lot of things factored into that decision, but I think it was driven a lot by a “what the heck, we’ve got the money” attitude. It is only human nature. Which brings us to the Covenant Club. There is a kind of natural progression from the Open Space Fund to the Community Enhancement Fund to the Covenant Club. When the purpose of the Open Space Fund kept changing and house values skyrocketed and the name of the fund was changed to the Community Enhancement Fund, it wouldn’t have taken a brilliant prognosticator to know that even good-intentioned people would begin to see it as free money that they needed to spend. Primarily, our boards are charged with protecting our home values and managing our shared assets and lifestyle as efficiently as possible. They should be trying hard to reduce our mill rate and to run our village as inexpensively as possible. But, with $6 million in the bank, I wonder, can something as extravagant as the Covenant Club proposal be far behind? It isn’t the fault of those who want it and are proposing it. They honestly believe that it would be a good way to spend the money we have in the bank, But why is our board promoting it? I understand infrastructure things like high-speed Internet, or water, but a community pool? Now? The intent of what is now the Community Enhancement Fund was to protect our quiet, bucolic way of life. That is certainly one of the things we elect our board to do as well and to make changes that are necessary for us to be a viable place to live. But, I’m afraid we have collected too much money over too long a period time to think that the money will be spent wisely. Bill Johnson

Although much of the conversation about the Covenant Club revolves around process, design and costs, the basic disagreement between the groups proposing the project and those opposing is their differing vision of the character and future of Rancho Santa Fe. The proponents’ proposal is not just a large pool(s?) and fitness center, but a family gathering place where parents and children can meet other families; where moms can safely drop off children for several hours while shopping or attending to other issues; a central sports location for lawn games for children and adults; and golf and tennis facilities. It’s a vision which they see in action in planned communities and suburbs around the U.S. The problem is that many of us have a different vision of Rancho Santa Fe. We believe that the Ranch has and must keep a small-town rural character and ambience — a sense one feels when first entering the Ranch and continues through the neighborhoods, golf/tennis club, and village. It is a rare combination in the U.S. Most of us are fortunate in that we can live wherever we wish and don’t want the suburban, planned community or Pasadena experience. We believe the Covenant Club is an assault on that vision. Why? Because it is too big — too overwhelming — in the wrong location, and infringes on the jewel of the ranch — the golf and tennis experience. And that’s before the objections to costs and financing. The Association board’s mission statement, published on their website, reads they are to “Preserve and enhance the historic, rural character and ambience of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant Community.” Hard to see how the board’s promotion of this project fulfills that mission.

to RSF, not a pool project I found Marion Dodson’s comments on reclaimed water interesting. She addressed an issue that should be a priority for this community: How long can we sustain the loss of lawns, trees, and plants that are resulting from restrictions on our water supply? Ms. Dodson and I are in full agreement. We need to get away from potable water, for our public lands, our large properties, and our golf course. She says that our golf course is “very green looking,” but closer inspection reveals broad sections of brown areas that weren’t there before the drought, especially in our roughs. The fairways and greens are hanging on because of the Herculean efforts of golf course Superintendent Tim Barrier and his experienced crew. They have removed turf, changed watering practices, and reduced water consumption by 45 percent, virtually everything possible to preserve this valuable asset to this community. The golf course is our park, home to joggers, walkers, horseback riders, as well as golfers. We have to keep it as healthy-looking as possible. Its appearance reflects very positively or negatively on our community. It is my understanding that we have a group of advocates for a pool project, which they are promoting as making our community more attractive to potential buyers, and therefore increase property values. They have received authorization to spend several hundred thousand dollars for a study and have estimated the project will cost several million more to build and sustain. However, unlike the golf club and tennis club members who paid for their clubhouses, they want to use our Community Enhancement fund to help construct and sustain their project. It is my understanding that the Community Enhancement Fund, which is really a tax we all pay, was meant to benefit the entire community. I join Ms. Dodson when she suggests we move ahead on reclaimed water. The attractiveness of our community will be greatly affected if we fail to solve our water problem. I would further ask that all of our community join together in requesting our Association Board to earmark the Community Enhancement Fund to bring reclaimed water to this community and to sustain its cost for the benefit of all of our members.

Roundabouts work beautifully in Sedona Obviously, traffic discussions have been going on for sometime in Rancho Santa Fe, and the discussion has come down to whether traffic lights at key intersections or roundabouts make more sense. We bought our first home in the Covenant in the 1990s and love it here. Years ago we owned a home above Sedona, Ariz., and visit there annually. Sedona installed several “roundabouts” years ago, and they have worked beautifully at keeping traffic moving, slowing traffic to safe speeds and largely eliminating T-bone crashes. For the record, Sedona has 4 million visitors annually, and the roundabouts keep the traffic flowing. This is a personal observation, but my wife and I also think roundabouts seem in keeping with the natural beauty of Sedona, and we both feel the proliferation of traffic lights won’t seem in character with the rural beauty of the ranch. Regardless of the outcome, we will make Rancho Santa Fe our home and want the best for this wonderful place. Robb Dalton LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

The letters/columns published are the author’s opinion only and do not reflect the opinion of this newspaper.

With all Covenant land owners receiving a ballot in the mail in the coming weeks, the time has arrived to decide the future of the Ranch. In a previous OpEd, I stated that I was “anti-traffic light,” not “pro-roundabout.” Given the information below, I am now unequivocally “pro-roundabout.” Widening of Via de la Valle and Paseo Delicias to four lanes • In 2006, County staff recommended widening the Via de la Valle/Del Dios corridor to four lanes; • A new four-lane expansion is already approved for Del Dios at Via Rancho Parkway; • Widening has already occurred at: Morgan Run, Polo Point, Casa Palmera, Cielo and Crosby; • A former Traffic Committee chairman noted, “All you need to do is connect the dots.” • Traffic lights will facilitate widening, while roundabouts will stop future widening efforts.

Traffic Flow • Roundabouts eliminate waiting at red lights, and give immediate access to roadways; • Roundabouts facilitate a slow, steady pace, moving traffic through 20 percent more quickly and efficiently. Safety • Roundabouts are nine times safer than traffic lights for injury and fatal accidents; • Roundabouts reduce speed and have traffic-calming effects, improving safety for horses, cyclists, and pedestrians. Beauty • Roundabouts are more beautiful and in keeping with the rural aesthetics of our his-

toric Ranch; • Roundabouts are in compliance with its dark-sky mandate.

Environment • Unlike traffic lights, the carbon footprint of roundabouts is close to zero; • Roundabouts significantly reduce light, noise, emissions, and fuel consumption. Cost • Covenant residents and the Association will pay nothing; • Roundabouts are eligible for federal funds from the National Environmental Policy Act; • The County states each of the roundabouts may cost as little as $1M each. Eminent Domain • Covenant residences will only lose 0.09 acre (9/100th) in total over the three intersections; • The non-Covenant vacant lot on El Montevideo will lose 0.12 acre; • The RSF Association will lose the most land — a total of 0.294 acre; • Each landowner will be paid fair market value for the land — tax free; • The Village Church will not lose land. The parking spaces it reportedly will lose were already given to the County in 2008, in exchange for a variance to build a larger sanctuary; • In addition, a 2008 signed agreement grants Association-owned land to the Church to replace any lost spaces. Supporting documents can be found at: www.rsfbeautifulroads.com. Glen Griffin Beautiful Roads Group

Roundabouts would be a safer choice San Diego County’s Right of Way Standards for RSF state: “Traffic signals are highly destructive of the area’s scenic roadways. They shall only be allowed where safety concerns can not be otherwise mitigated.” Federal studies reveal that when roundabouts replace traffic signals there are: • 90 percent fewer fatal collisions; • 75 percent fewer injury collisions; • 40 percent fewer pedestrian collisions; • 37 percent fewer overall collisions. There are three reasons for these statistics: 1. Roundabouts eliminate deadly broadside and head-on collisions. They replace the center of the intersection, known as the “kill zone,” with a landscaped center island. 2. At roundabouts, there are fewer rear-end collisions due to fewer sudden stops. 3. When collisions do occur in a roundabout, they are at a reduced speed and most often result in property damage only. In addition to safety, roundabouts: • Will reduce cut through traffic. • Have a 30- to 50-percent increase in traffic capacity. • May eliminate the need for future four-lane roads. • Reduce noise, resulting in quieter neighborhoods. • Reduce emissions and fuel consumption by 30 to 40 percent. • Have a longer service life — 25 years vs. 10 years for signal equipment. • Have lower annual operational costs, requiring less maintenance and electricity. • Function when traffic signals malfunction. • Are aesthetically pleasing. • Calm traffic by reducing speeds (remember, speed kills). • Are safer for all drivers, especially age 70 and older. • Provide substantial savings for society by reducing injury and fatal collisions. Safety is my overwhelming reason to choose roundabouts; however, there are many other benefits to installing roundabouts. M. Kent Lemarié, M.D. Emergency physician and 39-year Covenant resident

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - SEPTEMBER 17, 2015 - PAGE A19

Education Matters/Opinion: High school testing, college acceptance, and middle school desperation BY MARSHA SUTTON Looking at local schools’ test scores, released last week, reminds me of a classic Steve Martin routine on how to be a millionaire. “First,” he says, “get a million dollars.” How to get top-notch test scores is to first start with smart kids. Then savvy school districts add foresight to see what’s coming, resources to provide extended and early teacher training, and a focus on parent involvement for buy-in of the roadmap. Marsha Sutton Voila! You have what we see today: Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and San Dieguito at the top of the heap. The new Smarter Balanced tests, designed to align with California’s Common Core State Standards, were administered last spring to public school students in third through eighth grades and 11th grade. For the first time, the exams were all computer-based, an unfamiliar medium for achievement tests for many students. The tests were also adaptive, which means that follow-up questions were dependent upon how students answered each question. The state has said the scores represent only a baseline for achievement, because Common Core standards are newly implemented this year and teacher training is still ongoing. As a result, parents have been warned not to place too much significance on the results, to be prepared for lower than expected scores, and to not compare with previous state assessment scores. To no one’s surprise, the results state- and county-wide, released Sept. 9, indicate lower mastery of subject matter than demonstrated in previous years. For California students, 34 percent reached targets in math and 44 percent reached targets in English. Not too good. For the San Dieguito Union High School District, results were well above state and county averages. For overall achievement in mathematics, SDUHSD results are as follows:

Std. exceeded Std. met Std. nearly met Std. not met

45% 25% 19% 11%

37% 27% 19% 18%

43% 26% 19% 13%

Results for mathematics were sorted into three categories: Concepts & Procedures, Problem Solving & Modeling & Data Analysis, and Communicating Reasoning. For overall achievement in English language arts and literacy, results are as follows:

Std. exceeded Std. met Std. nearly met Std. not met

7th grade

33% 46% 15% 7%

Results for ELA and literacy were sorted into four categories: Reading (demonstrating understanding of literary and non-fictional texts), Writing (producing clear and purposeful writing), Listening (demonstrating effective communication skills), and Research/Inquiry (investigating, analyzing, and presenting information). SDUHSD high school results (11th grade only) for Canyon Crest Academy, La Costa Canyon, San Dieguito High School Academy, and Torrey Pines are as follows:

The Los Angeles Times also provided excellent data analysis and user-friendly charts. Obstacles to California colleges Anyone interested in knowing why their child did not get accepted to a UC or CSU college that they thought was a safety school will find this article from the Aug. 20, 2015 issue of the Hechinger Report informative and enlightening: http://hechingerreport.org/californians-increasingly-cant-get-into-states-public-colleges/. The Hechinger Report, a nonprofit, independent, education-focused news organization, reviewed college acceptance rates for California residents that affirm what many of us have personally experienced.

Titled “Californians increasingly can’t get into state’s public colleges,” the article provides distressing evidence that the two higher-education school systems in California, once the envy of university systems worldwide, no longer live to serve the state’s citizens. Money matters now more than the original mission to provide a world-class education for California’s kids. According to the report: “[B]etween 2007 and 2012, California trimmed $2 billion from the Cal State and UC budgets, essentially cutting per-student funding in half. At the same time, it gave more spots to out-of-state and international students who pay the full cost of their educations while turning down ... thousands of other qualified Californians. “At UC campuses, California residents pay $14,000 in tuition and fees per year, compared to $38,000 for nonresidents. Californians pay $5,472 for the Cal State system, while nonresidents pay an additional $372 per semester unit or $248 per quarter unit, which works out to at least $8,928 extra per year for full-time out-of-state students. “California once showed the world how a state could guarantee a college education for nearly every resident, but then it failed to provide the long-term funding to do it, said Martha Kanter, a former U.S. education undersecretary and California community college leader. “Rather than a beacon, she said, it has become a warning: States without long-term plans for funding public colleges and universities run the risk of watching them deteriorate. “‘California is a harbinger of what’s to come,’ said Kanter, now a visiting professor of higher education at New York University.” Disappointed, rejected students who thought they were doing everything right get burned because they live in the right state but in the wrong decade. And that … is just wrong. Middle school woes I first heard UCLA psychologist Jaana Juvonen about 10 years ago, and was astounded by her research on the culture of middle schools and how the experience can negatively affect young teens. Her series of lectures and our interview afterwards confirmed my suspicions: that taking students out of a comfortable, secure, elementary school environment just when they were beginning to struggle with social pressures, body changes, self-esteem issues and emotional turmoil was a recipe for disaster. A July 28, 2015 article in EdSource highlights the work researchers have done to show how the anxiety middle schoolers face can lead to what has been called “the middle school plunge.” According to the article, “In some of the strongest evidence to date, a 2011 longitudinal study of 2,300 Los Angeles middle school students by UCLA psychologist Jaana Juvonen and others found a direct relationship over three years between being bullied and having lower grades.” “The path to dropping out very often has its roots in the middle school,” said Maurice Elias of Rutgers University. “It’s safe to say we have underemphasized the potential impact of the middle school climate.” From the article: “Fear of being publicly embarrassed or even physically hurt is widespread among students who are entering middle school, according to research studies.” The story cites a 2015 survey that ranked top middle school concerns: getting undressed in front of others for physical education class, coping with peer pressure, dealing with bullying and opening a combination lock. (Since no lockers are available at local middle and high schools, students are spared this last trauma. But the trade-off is that they are instead saddled with debilitating backaches from lugging around heavy, over-stuffed backpacks all day long.) “Kids need to feel safe in school before they can learn,” said Juvonen, a longtime researcher on the culture of middle schools. “It’s as fundamental as recognizing that kids can’t come to school hungry and learn.” Juvonen reiterated in the EdSource article what she said in her lectures and our interview several years ago: that a fundamental problem of middle school is its grade configuration, which she said “is not appropriate for young adolescents.” According to the story, “Students who attend K-8 schools for 6th, 7th and 8th grades do better both academically and socially than their peers who attend middle schools, which typically serve 6th- through 8th-grade students, according to a comprehensive 2004 report by the Rand Corporation, which Juvonen authored.” Rancho Santa Fe did it right, years ago, when the community decided to keep its kids through eighth grade, instead of sending them off to other communities for middle school just as puberty was about to wreak havoc on their sense of security and well-being. After my exposure to Juvonen’s research, I suggested in a column that the two schools west of the freeway in the Del Mar Union School District, at the time struggling for more students, consider making one a K-4 or K-5, and the other a 5-8 or 6-8. Of course that went nowhere. I still love the idea, but budget concerns, politics and adult considerations trump kids’ interests every time. I lump this into the same heap of columns (you know where that pile sits now) that called for the Del Mar and Solana Beach school districts to unite, along with Cardiff and Encinitas which should clearly become one district. (You can’t unite Rancho Santa Fe with any other community, so I didn’t even bother to go there.) So much taxpayer money could be saved if the overhead of double the staff and superintendent salaries is eliminated. As long as I digress, going one step further, imagine the money that could be saved if all five elementary school districts threw in the towel and all of us united to become the K-12 unified San Dieguito district. Alas, it makes too much sense.

Letters to the editor/Opinion

CCA Foundation discovers, halts unauthorized Internet website using its logo The following is a submitted press release from the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation: The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation discovered an unauthorized website using the CCA Foundation logo on Aug. 26. Using the CCA Foundation’s logo, the website purported to be accepting money on behalf of Canyon Crest Academy by providing a donation portal for accepting contributions via credit card. The website appeared to be taking donations on behalf of about half a dozen local nonprofits, including a major university alumni organization. The CCA Foundation discovered the website while investigating the unauthorized access into its email account by a (now) former board member. The website was not authorized by the school district, or the CCA Foundation. According to Executive Director Joanne Couvrette, when the website was discovered, she immediately notified CCA Foundation board members and a school district representative. The CCA Foundation consulted with local law enforcement and was advised to both shut down access to its online programs, including email, and to immediately consult an attorney to commence actions to shut down the website. The CCA Foundation reports that the solicitation links for all the nonprofits on the deceptive website were shut down upon the receipt of a cease-and-desist letter. The ownership of the site was not a mystery, as it featured a photograph of its

founder. The CCA Foundation is not aware of any monies collected on behalf of the other charities involved on the website and confirms that no monies allegedly collected from the website were given to the CCA Foundation. As advised, the board instructed the webmaster to temporarily restrict access to the CCA Foundation’s email accounts and to conduct a security review of their domain. Following this review, an emergency board meeting was called, which resulted in the removal of a board member. “I commend the CCA Foundation and the district for doing everything right. First of all, they were just one of several nonprofits targeted in this scheme, and by no means the biggest. For them to have discovered this and to have shut it down is a tribute to a dedicated, professional staff and to a smart, effective board, led by President Carolyn Cohen. Their number one duty is to protect donors and they did their investigation, and took decisive action,” commented Jen Fry, CCA’s former Grad Nite chair. “This is a great opportunity for us to remind the community to be alert on making donations to sites that seem suspicious,” advises Couvrette. “Our website is canyoncrestfoundation.org. When you access our donation page directly from our domain, you can rest assured that you are on our secure CCA Foundation payment portal.” The CCA Foundation has also been informed that other suspicious domain names, unrelated to the foundation, have

We will use this as a learning experience, for both our organization and our community. We will continue in our efforts to assist CCA in offering a world-class learning environment for our students.” The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive.

Raven supporters appreciated for helping CCA thrive Canyon Crest Academy is an amazing place that our entire school community should be proud of. In celebrating CCA, most tend to highlight the academic, the arts and athletic success of our students and staff. We often neglect to honor and appreciate the support and contributions of so many CCA families, whose kindness and generosity help define the experience CCA students receive each day. Through the CCA Foundation, CCA families donate time, resources and expertise to help ensure students thrive. A special thank you to the CCA Foundation parent leaders and staff for remaining laser-focused on helping to connect parents, ideas, equipment, and programs with students. In spite of one individual’s actions, the CCA Foundation is as strong as it has ever been. Thank you, Raven supporters, for your role in making Canyon Crest such an amazing school!

Letters to the editor/opinion

Updated simulation shows roundabouts work

Let county’s experts decide traffic issue

We had the fortunate opportunity to engage a national leader in roundabout engineering to perform an updated simulation using the latest standards and procedures. Here are the results for your enjoyment. Analysis of Traffic Light Group’s Report According to Kittelson Associates Inc. (KAI), a national leader in roundabout engineering, the traffic light group’s report is not fully consistent with the current state of modern roundabout planning and design. For instance, with regard to: • Lane Imbalance: Older roundabout guidance in the U.S. has included the generalized notion that roundabouts operate poorly under unbalanced traffic flows. This notion has not been corroborated in any of the recent research on the performance of roundabouts in the United States. • Capacity: Synchro 8 and other software packages implement a version of the HCM 2010 capacity models, which is now considered out of date and overly pessimistic in terms of capacity. These have been updated based on research for the Federal Highway Administration with publication pending in 2015. • Vehicle queues: A queue analysis considering access control mitigations is not provided in the traffic light group’s report at any project intersection. Management of vehicle queues is a critical performance measure when evaluating intersection improvements and the overall performance of the transportation system. The roundabout at Via de la Valle will provide superior flexibility to access nearby streets and driveways, such as La Fremontia, compared to a signal alternative. The signal design will likely limit access in and out of nearby streets and driveways or will require that additional lanes be constructed beyond those identified in the current signal analysis. KAI Report Summary • The roundabouts on Paseo Delicias will provide less delay compared to traffic lights. These results are consistent with the current national research being conducted by KAI for the Federal Highway Administration. • For the existing traffic condition, single-lane roundabouts operate with approximately 10 seconds of delay with LOS A/B. • For the 2030+ project condition, single-lane roundabouts operate with 21 seconds or less of delay at Via de la Valle and El Monte Video. Congestion at El Camino del Norte could be mitigated by adding a simple westbound right turn lane for morning congestion and a second eastbound lane for 200 feet in each direction for afternoon congestion. KAI Credentials KAI is a national leader in the research, planning, and design of roundabouts with over 800 across the U.S. and Canada. KAI helped research and develop the roundabout design guidelines and roundabout capacity models that all Departments of Transportation and engineering firms use for roundabout planning and design in the United States. Bill and Vida Siino

The RSF Association board decision to have a survey relating to the traffic issue may only cause the community to split and hurt the harmony among the residents. The RSF Association will have the survey to decide for either signals or roundabouts. I am no expert in the traffic field. I have no special expertise to judge or decide which is better or worse. Both sides seem only pick up the facts or data which are favorable to their argument. If the data provided is not presented in a scientific manner, how can I use this data to make a right decision? The board should have never approved any type of survey or vote for this kind of technical issue. As to either signals or roundabouts, that decision should belong to the county traffic department! ... That is what the county did years ago for the installation of traffic signals at Calzada del Bosque and Via de la Valle without a community vote. The decision to do the survey will only cause a split in the community! That should be the biggest concern! The residents along Paseo Delicias must have their basic needs, their safety issue and normal life respected and well protected! It is just not reasonable to have the whole community, based on their preferences, decide on basic needs of others. The board should simply tell the county to make the final decision on either traffic signals or roundabouts! ... The fight for the traffic issue really hurts (our) image ... When so much heated debate on such a simple issue (is) known everywhere, can we draw more new buyers to this town? Traffic is a very important factor for a new buyer! The board should be very cautious about the “noise” on any issues. It is not wise to vote 7-0 in support of the signals today and then change your opinion the next day, voting 7-0 to overrule its old decision. And then it simply chooses the “sitting-on-the-fence” approach and not even daring to talk to its residents! The board is the government. You need to express your position very clearly, because that is the role of the government! Otherwise, people will naturally ask, what is the purpose of us electing a board?! I agree with what Ann Boon, president of the RSF Association, said in the RSF Review: “I don’t mind being second-guessed or attacked; that comes with the territory. But I don’t think it does this community any good to go on for months and months on an issue when we have other things to deal with.” To find a better way for the traffic issue is just like doing surgery on a patient. When a person finds a cancer in his body and decided to have surgery, let the doctor decide how to do it! It is as simple as that! Life is just too short! Wei Zhang

Life Tributes

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Thomas Albert Greubel, M.D. August 8, 1927 - September 8, 2015

RANCHO SANTA FE — Born to Joseph and Florence Greubel on August 8, 1927 in PittsburgI, PA, Tom entered eternal life on September 8, 2015 in his home surrounded by Marge, his devoted wife of 61 years and their children. Raised in Derry, PA, he was a standout basketball and football athlete and valedictorian of his high school class. Accepted on a full academic scholarship, he attended his beloved St. Vincent’s College in Latrobe, PA, though shortly after beginning his studies in pre-Engineering was drafted into the Army during WWII. He returned to St. Vincent following his military service switching his major to Architecture, then Chemistry and finally to Biology as a pre-Med student during his junior year. He then went on to graduate from the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola Marymount University in Chicago. He interned at Los Angeles County General and then following his residency on the east coast moved west to begin a family practice in Orange County. To accommodate a growing patient population he was instrumental in the development and building of West Anaheim Community Hospital and was a founder of Mission Hospital in south Orange County where he served on its board for 20 years. A devout servant of the Lord, Tom dedicated his entire life to serving others while instilling in his children and grandchildren the importance of working hard and giving of yourself with a compassionate heart. He emanated kindness and goodness with the warmth of his smile and gentle hand.

His insights, his humor and visionary leadership as a patriarch, mentor and friend could only be matched by the profound love, passion and dedication he had for the family he knew with certainty was his greatest blessing. A lifelong photography/ car enthusiast and real estate investor, Tom always found great pleasure taking family vacations with his beloved Marge. One of the endeavors for which he was most proud was the 20 years he spent volunteering at Father Joe’s Village in San Diego where he offered medical services to the less fortunate. He is survived by his loving wife, 7 children: Susan (Glen) Turner, Thomas Jr. (Kathy), Jerome, Philip (Lisa), Lise Brick, Paul (Christine), Nancy (Kevin) Jones, 21 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Funeral mass was celebrated on Tuesday, 9/15 @ Holy Family Cathedral in Orange. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Vincent College, Office of Institutional Advancement.

POLICY absent. During public comment, parents addressed the board about its Aug. 20 decision. Beth Nelson, who made the initial request to allow her formerly enrolled son to participate in the robotics program, said she didn’t understand how her simple request had been elevated to such a high-profile board decision, with research by district lawyers, when non-enrolled students have been allowed to participate in school programs in the past. The Nelsons have had a child in R. Roger Rowe School for 10 years, and Nelson spent seven years on the RSF Education Foundation and three on the board. She helped get the MUSE performing and visual arts group up and running, and her husband, Mark, spent most every Saturday for the past three years coaching robotics. They have spent “hundreds, if not thousands,” of hours volunteering at the school and given financially as well. “We had a horrible sixthgrade year, and despite repeated attempts, no one here seemed interested in giving us the support and help we needed. So we had no choice but to leave for academic reasons,” Nelson said. “In short, the school failed my son; now the school board has failed him as well.” Nelson said the arguments and comments for the Aug. 20 decision were “weak at best, and even downright ridiculous.” She said Rowe is a public institution and funded through the taxpayers, so they have a responsibility to educate district children. “To cite budget concerns over a potential handful of non-enrolled students joining after-school programs also

strikes me as ridiculous,” Nelson said. “The cost of a couple students in the programs is a drop in the bucket of the overall budget. This board approves items left and right every month without so much as any discussion about the costs.” She referred to an item on that day’s agenda to pay a school parent $20,000 to coordinate design of the district website. (The item was later pulled from the agenda by Superintendent Lindy Delaney because the contract was not complete.) Former Rowe parent Matt Golden also spoke during public comment, requesting that his no-longer-enrolled son be allowed to participate in orchestra. He accused the board of having already decided to approve the policy in a “back room.” “The personal attacks are not called for,” said RSF School District Board Vice President Tyler Seltzer, echoed by President Todd Frank, who said he did not appreciate the innuendo given in public comment. “Obviously, it’s a highlycharged, emotional issue,” Seltzer said. “I think we’ve just reached a point of ‘agree to disagree’ with the families involved. I believe it is the best interest of students in this school to not allow nonenrolled students to go here. I don’t take this decision lightly … it’s hard to turn away kids and families that we know.” Frank said that he believes there are valid issues on both sides, but his biggest concern is to have a fair and even application of the rules, which is why he is in favor of implementing the new policy.

tional speaking about how she has supported his career for 35 years, through the long hours and during events such as the 2007 wildfires when he didn’t see her for more than five minutes for about a week: “She’s a good gal,” he said. For years, he has called himself “The Hood Ornament” of the Patrol, deflecting praise and attention to his team of officers. “Out of all of these guys, I’m like the punk kid,” he said, noting that his officers come from various law enforcement backgrounds like homicide, SWAT, narcotics, motorcycle units and military service. “We’re very fortunate to have the kinds of people who work here … their maturity and professionalism comes through to the membership and that’s important because a lot of people don’t go to Association meetings or even know where the Association office is and their only contact with he Association is us. So our first impression and how we interact with the membership ... it’s important that it’s a positive experience. “That’s what I’m proud of. I’ve worked here for 35 years and to get to that point, we’ve been very picky with who we’ve hired. The Patrol gets very positive ratings in Association surveys and good feedback; it’s rare that I get complaints … People in Rancho Santa Fe are so nice and very supportive, and we get compliments all the time. It’s a good thing.”

she could be happy. “Some of what I had to ask myself was: If my nurture wasn’t positive, can I re-nurture myself? If I wasn’t taught happiness in my household, could I learn how to be happy? And how do I avoid becoming a statistic? How do I find empowerment in my life when all I’ve known is something that would make me feel like a victim?” “Never Broken” includes the story of how she did just that. “I included lyrics and short poems when I wanted (the message) to hit your heart and hit you hard,” Jewel said. Familiar with poignant, tug-at-your-heartstrings shortform writing, she said writing something long-form was an “unnerving” challenge. “My goal as a writer is to have a lot (of emotion) in very few words. At first I thought I was a bad writer because I was writing so much, because in songwriting, you shouldn’t say that much, there shouldn’t be so many words. I had to get comfortable with the fact that I had to include some history and really explain my story.” In addition to “Never Broken,” Jewel is planning the release of her next album, “Picking Up the Pieces.” She said it will be folksy, self-produced and poetic, much like her debut album “Pieces of You,” which sold more than 12 million copies.

Blattenbauer explained to the TVIA youth in attendance that Miracle League is all about inclusion and acceptance, and baseball is simply the platform they use to reach these kids and provide an opportunity that otherwise would not exist for them to play an organized sport. “Once I started volunteering and helping out the kids in Miracle League, I realized what I did not know,” said Blattenbauer. “And that is that true compassion and joy come from helping others.” Many of the TVIA members volunteer throughout the season at the Miracle League Games acting as “buddies” for the disabled youth. Blattenbauer encouraged all of the members of TVIA and their families to come out and watch the Miracle League games. 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 youth participate in numerous community service events throughout the school year. At the event the TVIA members brought donations of diapers for the Camp Pendleton Jewish Families Services.

‘Christians, Muslims and the World Today’ is topic Sept. 27 at Village Church The many efforts by individuals and organizations to work toward peace in the Middle East will be the focus of a discussion and reception at 6 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. With three international experts on Islam and Christianity, the program will help people learn more about Islam, the status of relationships between Muslims Dr. John Marilyn Borst Dr. Sasan and Christians, and the growth of the Azumah Tavassoli Christian church in Iran and across the Middle East. “The Christian Church is undergoing severe persecution in certain parts of the Middle East, and moderate Muslims are also endangered. For the sake of peace, it is vital that we all gain a deeper understanding of our varied and shared beliefs,” said the Reverend Dr. Jack Baca, senior pastor of the Village Church. “We are excited to offer three uniquely gifted and experienced speakers to address one of the most pressing topics of our current age.” The program features the Rev. Dr. Sasan Tavassoli, former Shiite Muslim and now Christian pastor and evangelist who oversees a satellite teaching ministry focused on Iranian Christians; the Rev. Dr. John Azumah, a native of Ghana and associate professor of World Christianity and Islam at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Ga.; and Marilyn Borst, who works with Christian organizations throughout the Middle East in her role with The Outreach Foundation, a global mission agency.

Del Mar-based organization to present Diabetes Conference & Health Fair Sept. 26

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK It’s based in the county’s smallest city, but a local organization is having a large impact on the diabetes community here and across the country. For two decades, Del Mar-based Taking Control of Your Diabetes has educated and empowered thousands of people with diabetes. “We help people with diabetes live their best life,” said Jennifer Braidwood, the group’s manager of outreach and continuing medical education. “Diabetes doesn’t have to be a death sentence.” More than 29 million Americans have diabetes, including TCOYD’s founder and director. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was a teenager, Dr. Steven Edelman went on to study medicine at UC Davis, fulfill his internal medicine training at UCLA, and complete a clinical endocrinology fellowship at the Joslin and Lahey Clinics in Boston, as well as a research fellowship at UC San Diego. Edelman, who lives in Del Mar, serves as a professor of medicine at UCSD and the director of the Diabetes Care Clinic at the VA Medical Center in San Diego. “He’s dedicated his medical career to teaching people to learn how to get the most upto-date, cutting-edge information on diabetes care and management,” Braidwood said. In 1995, Edelman founded TCOYD, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to educate, inspire, and motivate people with diabetes. Since then, TCOYD has conducted 165 conferences and health fairs in more than 60 different cities across the United States, inspiring more than 200,000 individuals with diabetes to take control of their lives. “If you can control your disease and you have the right tools to manage it day in and day out, you can live a super-normal life,” Braidwood said. “Through these conferences and what we do here in San Diego and around the country, we teach people how to do that.” TCOYD scheduled nine conferences across the country this year. From coast to coast, the daylong programs offer important information for patients, as well as valuable resources for providers. The national conferences and health fairs feature exhibits, small group sessions and workshops. The next San Diego conference will be Sept. 26. “We’re unique in the fact that we’re the only organization of our kind that’s actually bringing patients and providers together within the same space,” Braidwood said. “A few times throughout the day, the doctors and the people with diabetes will interact — they’ll attend some of the same workshops and they’ll have lunch together. It really opens up communication between people who have the disease and the doctors who treat people with the disease.” In addition to conferences, TCOYD offers a series of lectures in San Diego. Hosted by Edelman, topics cover an array of issues that affect people with diabetes. The evening events are held from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on scheduled Wednesdays throughout the year, with the next lecture, “Surviving the Holidays,” slated for Nov. 18 at the Preuss School in La Jolla. “Diabetes can be complicated. Whether you have Type 1 or Type 2, it’s something you have to deal with every day,” Braidwood said. “We’re important because we give you the tools in order to figure out what you need to do to be able to deal with it everyday.”

The 21st annual Taking Care of Your Diabetes conference is set for Sept. 26 at the San Diego Convention Center. The program draws about 2,000 people every year. Courtesy photo The 21st annual San Diego conference is set for Sept. 26 at the San Diego Convention Center. The program draws about 2,000 people every year. “People walk away from the event with a lot of hope and encouragement to really take control of their condition and live well,” Braidwood said. “It’s a really exciting day.” Registration opens at 7:30 a.m., with the conference and health fair taking place 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The conference costs $30 per person or $25 per person when registering two or more people before noon on Sept. 23. Day-of registration costs $35 per person. The price includes a healthy mid-morning snack, sit-down lunch and dessert. Financial aid is available.

From track to track, Train keeps the music moving forward BY KRISTINA HOUCK More than two decades in, Train is still on track. Although “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” and “Hey, Soul Sister” will always be two of the band’s most iconic tunes, Train continues to churn out hit songs, including “Angel in Blue Jeans,” which cracked No. 8 on Billboard’s Adult Top 40 chart as the lead single from the band’s seventh studio album, “Bulletproof Picasso.” With singles stemming back to the ’90s, it won’t be hard to fill the set list when Train takes the stage Sept. 20 during Kaaboo, a three-day music festival at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “It sounds like a cool festival,” said Pat Monahan, lead singer and songwriter of the Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum-selling band. “There’s going to be a lot of cool people that go.” Train formed in 1993, but frontman Monahan started in music several years earlier. Born and raised in Erie, Pa., Monahan began his musical career singing with cover band Rogues Gallery in the late ’80s and early ’90s. After the band broke up, Monahan relocated to San Francisco, where he met singer-songwriter Rob Hotchkiss. The acoustic duo played at clubs and coffeehouses before forming a full-fledged rock band in 1993. Train released its self-titled debut album in 1998. The album went platinum. “I didn’t have a successful song on the radio until I was 28,” Monahan said. The band’s even bigger break came in 2001, with the release of Train’s second album, “Drops of Jupiter.” As Train’s first major label record, it’s the band’s best-selling album to date. The album’s title is derived from “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me),” its lead single, which was inspired by Monahan’s late mother and became an international hit. The single won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 2002. Train released its next two albums, “My Private Nation” and “For Me, It’s You,” in 2003 and 2006, respectively. After a three-year hiatus, which included a solo album from Monahan, Train’s “Save Me, San Francisco” debuted in 2009. The album included the chart-topping hit, “Hey, Soul Sister.” Monahan admitted he didn’t expect the song to become the group’s biggest hit, which, he said, is why he doesn’t play a large part in picking singles. “I just always feel like I’m better at doing the writing and singing,” he said. “I’ll leave all that other stuff up to other people. That’s like picking which child you’ll give a hug to.” Since then, Train released “California 37” in 2012 and “Bulletproof Picasso” last September. “This past album, I think, is the best work we’ve done,” Monahan said. “It was a fan favorite, but it certainly didn’t have any hits on it.” With the band’s summer tour over, Train is working on new projects. The band is set to debut its first Christmas album, which Monahan said will include 12 covers and three original songs. Monahan also recently launched “Train Tracks,” a SiriusXM show on The Pulse. Fans shouldn’t expect a greatest-hits album anytime soon, however. “They scare me because when you hear, ‘We made a greatest-hits record,’ congratula-

Photo by Pamela Littky tions, your career is over,” Monahan said. Train’s Kaaboo appearance comes about four months after the band stopped in sunny San Diego, at the start of summer. As part of a 45-date tour, the May show featured The Fray and Matt Nathanson at Sleep Train Amphitheatre in Chula Vista. “This is the most successful tour we’ve ever been on,” Monahan said. “It was a lot of fun.” With nearly 90 minutes slated for Kaaboo, Train is sure to share some of the band’s biggest hits as well as new material. Although the band is still finalizing the set list, Monahan said fans should expect to have a good time. “We play things from every record,” he said. “I know there’s going to be a lot of people that are going to come from all over California to San Diego to see us, just because that will be the last time they can see us for the year,” he added, noting that fans can join Train on the sea for the third annual “Sail Across the Sun” cruise Feb. 11-15 from Miami to Jamaica. Train is set to take the Zuma Stage at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 20, the final day of Kaaboo. For more about Train, visit savemesanfrancisco.com.

‘La Cage’ visits San Diego with local actor at the forefront BY DIANE Y. WELCH San Diego Musical Theatre (SDMT) is presenting the third production of its 2015 season, “La Cage Aux Folles.” Run dates are from Sept. 25 through Oct. 11, and it will be staged at Spreckels Theatre. Playing co-lead is Carmel Valley resident Robert J. Townsend, starring as Georges. He plays alongside David Engel as Albin (who was in the original “La Cage Aux Folles” cast on Broadway). Local actress Debra Wanger plays the role of Marie Dindon. “La Cage aux Folles” was a 1973 French play, then a 1978 French movie. The 1983 Broadway musical was written by Harvey Fierstein, with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. That stage production inspired the 1996 movie “The Birdcage,” starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Townsend said that he didn’t have to audition for his role, as director Larry Raben selected him specifically to be cast alongside Engel, Townsend’s reputation having preceded him. An award-winning actor — honored with an Ovation Award for best actor in a musical for his title role in “Jekyll and Hyde” — Townsend has traveled nationally and most recently appeared in “Mamma Mia!” on Broadway. His national tours include roles in “Jersey Boys,” “Camelot,” “Grease” and “Radio Local actor Robert J.

Cygnet Theatre takes Noel Coward’s ‘Hay Fever’ and ‘The Vortex’ for a spin BY DIANA SAENGER Cygnet Theatre continues its tradition of shows performed in repertory with two plays by Noel Coward, “Hay Fever,” directed by associate artistic director Rob Lutfy, and “The Vortex,” directed by artistic director Sean Murray. “The two plays are very different,” Lutfy said. “ ‘Hay Fever’ is very much a comedy, and ‘The Vortex’ is a drama. Pairing them together works well on several elements: The actors who perform in both plays get paid more, it helps the theater, and subscribers get to see two shows sooner than normal.” Lutfy said he finds it exciting to watch the same actors play different parts on similar sets, and the designers set two very different moods. “For me and Sean, it’s also a challenge directing two different shows on the same stage during the same run. It’s problem-solving and artistic compromises and putting the pieces together.” “Hay Fever” revolves around the eccentric Bliss family. Each member invites a guest for the weekend not knowing the others did, too. The guests end up leaving the house, and the Bliss family doesn’t realize they’ve all left. “ ‘Hay Fever’ is part farce and part comedy of manners,” Lutfy said. “It’s set in the 1920s in the English countryside. Coward (1899-1973) wrote the play off his experiences in Ameri-

‘HayFever,’ plays with ‘The Vortex’ in repertory at Cygnet Theater from Sept. 23-Nov. 8. Courtesy photo ca with actress Laurette Taylor. It was scandalous for its time, but a moneymaker for a drawing-room high comedy. Coward talked about relying on good material for high comedy, which means it’s about the language, the wit.” Murray has set “The Vortex” in 1968. It focuses on sexual vanity and drug abuse among the upper classes. The play was Coward’s first commercial success. Lufty pointed out that “The Vortex” was close to being shut down by the censors of the day, because of its “flagrant drug use, homosexuality and loose morals.” “Coward wasn’t going to say he was gay, but he implied it in the play. Actress Elaine Stritch was a good friend to him, and she said

he was the saddest man she ever knew, so with ‘The Vortex,’ we’re seeing that side of him. He had to be in the closet nearly his entire life, because at that time it was illegal to be a homosexual.” The casts consist of Rosina Reynolds, Charles Evans Jr., Rhona Gold, AJ Jones, James Saba, Richard Greatham, Lauren King Thompson, Jackie Coryton, Rachael VanWormer, Jill Van Velzer, Myra Arundel, and Paul Eggington. “It’s a real challenge for them to go from a ridiculous comedy to a relentless touching drama,” Lofty said. “One is larger than the other and the styles are very different. In ‘Hay Fever,’ I like the scene where all the guests show up and fight about who gets what room to sleep in. One is sent to the Japanese room — the most beautiful in the house — and, of course, she doesn’t like it. All the guests, who don’t quite fit together, play this really silly game. They create lots of laughs. “The bottom line for both plays is amorality versus morality, what’s socially acceptable with a rebellious class … also note, they are both kind of naughty plays.” Cygnet Theatre Company’s “HayFever” and “The Vortex,” run Sept. 23-Nov. 8 on Old Town Stage, 4040 Twiggs St., San Diego.

Owner shuttering Cedros Gardens after more than 20 years in SB BY KRISTINA HOUCK Located in the heart of the Cedros Design District, Cedros Gardens first planted its roots in Solana Beach more than two decades ago. With the ongoing drought, however, the local nursery is closing its doors. “For the last seven years, it has been kind of difficult,” said owner Mia McCarville. “And then this drought. People are not planting as much, and I sell plants.” McCarville was born and raised in Japan, where her parents shared a passion for plants. As a small child, she helped her mother in the vegetable garden and later learned about horticulture from her father, who studied agriculture in school. “My parents were totally organic, not knowing the phrase ‘organic gardening,’” said McCarville, noting that both parents were teachers. “It was in me.” After high school, she studied English literature and went on to teach at the American School in Japan, where she met her future husband and business partner, Michael, in the Mia McCarville is closing 1970s. Cedros Gardens (right). After a brief stint in Colorado, the couple moved to Encinitas in the 1980s. McCarville spent time selling real estate Because of the drought, in the region, running a Japanese import store in La Jolla and she says, “People are not owning a gift shop at Sunshine Gardens in Encinitas before planting as much, and I she decided to establish her own nursery on Cedros Avenue sell plants.” Photos by in Solana Beach. Kristina Houck Cedros Gardens opened in 1992, before the street was busy and the closest business was half a block away. “I just happened to see the ‘for rent’ sign in the front here,” McCarville recalled. “For the first few years, it was kind of a struggle to let people know I was here.” As business started to blossom, McCarville took over adjacent lots when they became available, growing into the 1-acre property where Cedros Gardens sits. Although she started by selling unique perennials, the pesticide-free nursery eventually offered different varieties of plants, trees and products. Some of the most popular items have been drought-tolerant plants and fruit trees. “I enjoy talking with people about plants and solving their problems,” McCarville said. “When you are here for 23 years, you see customers bringing their kids, and now you see the kids as parents bringing in their kids. Time flew.” Cedros Gardens was first hit hard with the recession. With the ongoing drought, the business has never been able to bounce back.

The shop will close at the end of September. Until then, everything is up to 50 percent off until inventory is sold out. “I will miss being around plants and interacting with the customers,” McCarville said. Now 60, she is looking forward to a short break. Still, her love of gardening will go on, with plans to work as a garden designer and landscape consultant. “I’ve always thought gardening is better than psychotherapy,” said McCarville, who has her own garden at home. “I really appreciate my customers for their support and patronage,” she added. “I’ll miss them all.” For more about Cedros Gardens, call 858-792-8640 or visit cedrosgardens.com.

Bingham (Kevin Bailey) and Dickie (Brian Salmon), directors of the opposing country clubs, enter the room where silly talk transpires between them as club board member Pamela (Jacquelyn Ritz), sashays her way through the room. “Golf and sex are the only things you can enjoy without being good at them,” she tells the audience. Shortly after Justin and Louise are alone in the clubroom, he proposes to her. Louise accepts and gleefully jumps into his arms just as boss Bingham enters the room. Disturbed by their behavior and considering they both work for him, he weighs firing Justin, but the couple charm him against it. The next occurrences snowball to create challenges for Bingham. Dickie has made a bet with him that involves property owned by Bingham’s formidable wife, Muriel (Roxane Carrasco). Bingham is sure his club will win, as it has the best pro player. Then Dickie reveals that overnight, he has signed that player to his team. The cast is amazing. Sorrell energetically depicts Justin’s highs and lows with his stuttering, nervous tics and ambitions to do the right thing for the boss and his girlfriend. Ritz plays Pamela’s sultry ways and flirtatious moves with Bingham so well, they could have been the sole characters and drawn raves. Salmon infuses Dickie with a naughty way for tricking his friends and foes into agreeing to anything. Stults portrays Louise as a giggly, naïve girl whose emotions are worn on her sleeve — just what playwright Ludwig intended. All bets ride as Muriel (Roxanne Carrasco), who has anger issues with both Dickie (a former lover) and her husband, Bingham (who has eyes for Pamela), enters the scene. Her golf cart is ready to roll over all of these fallible folks! Fore! “The Fox on the Fairway” runs through Oct. 11 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $39; call 858-481-1055, visit northcoastrep.org.

HOW TO USE SMART DESIGN FOR A HEALTHY HOME ENVIRONMENT

I take great pride in knowing that we as Americans are trying hard to make this a better world to live in. We are focused on the environment around us, endangered wildlife, our parks, water and forests. And while these are major steps of stewardship that this world needs more than ever before, maybe it’s time to turn more of our attention within our homes, as well. With decades of experience designing comfortable, sophisticated interiors for my residential clients, I strike a balance between aesthetics and sensibility. I also work tirelessly to incorporate healthy design options. Why is this so important? Consider these facts from the Environmental Protection Agency:

s -ORE THAN OF !MERICANS HAVE SOMEONE IN THEIR FAMILY AFFECTED BY POOR INDOOR air quality. s .EARLY OF OUR COUNTRY S CHILD POPULATION SUFFERS FROM ASTHMA Those two facts alone are enough to motivate my staff and I to lessen our carbon footprint one design at a time. Due to various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in our materials, the air within our homes is more polluted than outdoor air. Through my various sustainability trainings, I have learned that VOCs are present in furniture components such as adhesives, ďŹ nishes and sealers. We as homeowners must be aware of how our indoor materials are harvested, processed, manufactured or transported. These factors all play a part in keeping both our indoor and outdoor air safer to breathe. What if I told you we could overcome many of these indoor air quality problems with more strategic interior design? Just as many Americans have taken to eating healthful, organic foods, it’s time to take the same approach to home construction and design. Building a home? If you are in the process of building your home, this is the perfect opportunity to make some healthier choices for your construction materials. Here are a few examples: Ecor board in place of plywood, LED lighting, low-ow faucets and toilets for water conservation, natural stone, solid hardwoods and water-based ďŹ nishes. When you work with Barbara Lee Grigsby Design Associates, we initiate the design process by discussing what is important to YOU. From the direction and feedback you give us, we develop the overall design plans and begin to prepare any necessary drawings. Along the way, we are able to seamlessly integrate materials that can make a big impact on the quality of your indoor air. And we work with you to choose what types of materials ďŹ t with your budget and tastes. If you are concerned about the additional costs for more sustainable materials, consider that some things in life are just worth it. When it comes to our health, I think we can all agree that you can’t put a price on it. Here are some ways we can help you incorporate more healthful strategies into your home design: ReďŹ ne Your Space with Hardwood: Hardwood oors are gorgeous and work with any interior design style. You can’t go wrong with the air of natural wood as the focal point of your home. In terms of indoor air quality, hardwood greatly reduces allergens that

can collect in carpet. They are also much easier to maintain, and under normal wear and tear possibly may need reďŹ nishing at some point, but usually never need to be replaced. Practice Smart Buying Habits: When selecting new fabrics, bedding, upholstered furniture and case goods, be sure to inquire about not only the VOCs, but the other harmful products. Doing so can help protect yourself, your family and the environment. Barbara Lee Grigsby Take into consideration regional certiďŹ ed woods, recycled metals, organic foams and always ďŹ rst try to buy local and American made. Rely on Local Companies: You may be surprised by the number of miles a piece of mass-produced furniture travels to get to your door. If possible, source your furniture manufacturers close to home. This supports the local economy, all the small crafts-people and decreases the cost of shipping that impacts the environment.

Design with Energy EfďŹ ciency in Mind: Add window treatments that signiďŹ cantly reduce your energy output while improving and softening the aesthetics of your rooms. If you are not a fan of drapes, perhaps nice simple woven grass shades, blinds or shutters WOULD DO THE TRICK .O MATTER THE PREFERENCE THEY ALL CAN MAKE AN IMPACT ON YOUR MONTHLY energy bill. Infuse the Beauty and Health BeneďŹ ts of Houseplants: The beneďŹ ts to having houseplants are many. They not only add beauty and greenery, but when appropriately placed, they also greatly attribute to the reduction of the VOCs in your home. Plants REMOVE TOXINS FROM THE AIR UP TO PERCENT OF THE 6/#S EVERY HOURS ACCORDING TO .!3! RESEARCH WHICH ALSO DISCOVERED THAT PLANTS PURIFY TRAPPED AIR COMMONLY FOUND IN modern climate-controlled spaces. Indoor plants have a soothing, calming quality, they take very little water and if properly maintained can bring years of pleasure to your interior space. Additionally, consider fabric protection in terms of both a strengthening application and a warranty. -OST CARPETS FABRICS AND LEATHERS HAVE LIMITED PROTECTION WARRANTIES WHEN PURCHASED By having an additional protection applied, you will not only make your environment healthier by eliminating the need to use harmful chemicals, it will give you some piece of mind that you are greatly increasing the life of the products you are protecting. Fabric protection in the form of an actual application can strengthen the fabric ďŹ bers and therefore create better wear integrity. It has also been proven to help protect from UV fading. We all need to be mindful about our approach to how we use our resources, not only our energy but the materials as well. By doing these simple things we can design aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces, creating luxury that is not only beautiful, but healthy, organic, renewable and recyclable.

CNN Hero shows world what wheelchairs mean to those who lack them • Richard St. Denis, creator of World Access Project, is guest at North Coast Fellowship in Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach churchgoers had an opportunity to meet a true hero Sunday. Richard St. Denis, who was honored as a CNN Hero in 2011, spoke to the congregation at North Coast Fellowship about pursuing their life purpose. “There is nothing better than to serve God and help others,” St. Denis said to the crowd at the Solana Beach church. In 1976, St. Denis went on a skiing trip that forever changed his life. The then-21-yearold fell while skiing in Lake Tahoe, resulting in a severed spinal cord, a hospital stay, multiple surgeries and the rest of his life in a wheelchair. “I lost my ability to feel and move my body below my waist,” he said. After the accident, St. Denis also lost his faith. At the time, he was a few months away from transitioning out of the U.S. Air Force. He had been accepted to Bible college, planned to become a missionary and was engaged to be married. “I was not willing to serve a God who would not heal my severed spine,” said St. Denis, who attempted suicide while in the hospital. “I was not willing to serve God unless I was able to walk. I was angry.” Months later, while St. Denis was still in the hospital, his fiancée was struck by lightning while horseback riding. She and her horse both died. “That was it,” he said. “I turned my back completely on God.” St. Denis went on to become an attorney in Colorado. He eventually skied again, as a member of the U.S. Disabled Ski Team, ranking third in the world in downhill skiing in 1990. “All that was wonderful on the outside, but I knew something was missing on the inside,” he said. St. Denis eventually renewed his faith, and in 1997, his life changed again when he was asked to speak in Mexico. “A pastor friend invited me to go to Mexico with him. He asked if I could take a wheelchair with me,” St. Denis recalled. “Why? Why would I need to take a wheelchair to Mexico? I grew up in the United States. I didn’t realize people with disabilities in other countries don’t have wheelchairs.” The single wheelchair went to a 17-year-old girl named Leti. She had polio and had never walked a day in her life. Her mother carried her daily. But St. Denis met other people with disabilities who came to the event by using branches as crutches, being pushed in wheelbarrows, even crawling. “That day, I realized why I was born,” he said. Once a year from 1997 until 2004, St. Denis would bring 10 to 15 donated wheelchairs to Mexico to distribute them to people with disabilities. In 2002, he created a nonprofit

The World Access Project, founded by Richard St. Denis, second from left, recently donated wheelchairs in the Mexican town of San Mateo Atenco to those who are young and active and to older retired people. Courtesy photo called World Access Project, and later permanently moved to the country. Based in Temascalcingo, about three hours northwest of Mexico City, World Access Project donates wheelchairs, walkers, crutches and canes to impoverished people with disabilities throughout Mexico. The nonprofit teaches them how to use these tools and maximize their quality of life. Last year, World Access Project donated 1,200 wheelchairs to people. “The world, for many people with disabilities, is the four walls of their house. They can’t get out, they can’t move, they can’t walk,” St. Denis said. “Their world is the four walls of their house. We want to make the entire world accessible for them.” Solana Beach resident Joel Harris, a member of North Coast Fellowship, connected St. Denis with the church. The pair met at the VA Medical Center in La Jolla, where Harris, an artist, offers bedside therapeutic drawing lessons for patients. Like he and Harris, St. Denis encouraged the crowd to use their skills and passions to benefit the community. “God’s got a plan for your life, too,” St. Denis said. “If you haven’t found it, today might be the day. But today is certainly the day to start looking for it.” For more about World Access Project, visit www.worldaccessproject.org.

‘Never bet on me doing the same thing twice’: Justin Townes Earle has his own voice • Singer looking forward to gig at Kaaboo festival Sept. 18-20 in DM BY KRISTINA HOUCK He’s the son of country rocker Steve Earle, but singersongwriter Justin Townes Earle has made a name for himself. With the Kaaboo music festival just days away, Earle talked with the Rancho Santa Fe Review about his start, his sound and what he has in store for the three-day event at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Kaaboo is new in town Justin Townes Earle will be performing at the Kaaboo and getting a lot of buzz. festival. Photo by Joshua Black Wilkins Are you excited to be part of the inaugural festival? Absolutely! Festivals are always an interesting gatherings of people. You can have trouble on stage from festivals, but the people watching is worth every minute of it, and as a musician, I’ve done Kaaboo my entire life growing up in the East. I am definitely looking forward to this. Your family has a musical background. When did you realize you wanted to be a musician? How old were you when you got your start? I was probably about 14 years old. I’ve never been the kind to wait; I’ve always made very rash decisions, so I decided I wanted to be a musician at 14 and started writing songs, took off on the road at 15. Always thought it was better to do it and fake it until you figure the rest of it out. Have any artists influenced your sound? What about your father? My father, of course, has influenced my sound. I have heard his music more than most and heard it the earliest, so it would be impossible to say he didn’t. How? I have no way to tell you except that we are both story songwriters, but still approach it different ways. There’s a lot of them, though: Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Marvin Gaye. There’s all kinds of things that go in, that I try to fit into my music, because I see a connection between jazz, rock ’n’ roll, blues and country. They are all a product of the southeastern United States.

You’re a Nashville native, correct? Do you live there, or are you still in New York? Has living there influenced you as a songwriter? Yes, I was born in another Nashville, long, long past. I’m actually living in an undisclosed location, nearly as far west in the U.S. as you can go, in the middle of the woods. I just got sick of a lot of things. The music business is tiring after a while. You still enjoy playing the shows, but you don’t want to talk about it all the time. That’s real common in cities like Nashville — people always want to talk about their projects and things. I just need a break and never wanted to leave New York, but found good reason to. Living in these places has greatly influenced me. I think, in my time in Nashville, we learned how to not be songwriters more than we learned how to be songwriters. My dad’s time was a different story in the 1970s, with Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt around, but by the next generation, it had turned to flop. In that way, yes. New York had a major influence on me; I still can’t seem to get it out of my songs. Have you ever performed in San Diego? If so, what did you enjoy about playing here? I’m not sure exactly where the areas I’ve played, but I’ve played the Casbah several times and the Belly Up several times. I’ve never spent much time in San Diego. The only things I can really say that I’ve experienced that I enjoyed are not the kind of things you talk about in public. We will keep it kid-friendly and we won’t put a blight on the face of San Diego. Your latest album, “Absent Fathers,� was released not long after your previous album, “Single Mothers.� How are the two connected? What was the inspiration behind them? (Released in January, “Absent Fathers� is the companion album to “Single Mothers,� which came out last September. Also comprised of 10 tracks, “Absent Fathers� was recorded alongside “Single Mothers� as a double album, but as Earle began to sequence it, he felt each needed to make its own statement, and they took on their own identities.) “Single Mothers� was written in a darker period. I started to find my way out of that as I wrote “Absent Fathers.� There was some time between because I got out of my record deal with Communion, so I had about a year between writing each record. My position in life had changed and I always do my best to represent where I stand. What’s next? Are you working on any new projects at the moment? I’m working on several new projects and writing a new record. There are a few other things I’m not talking about yet. God only knows what the future will bring. I’m as fly-bynight as they come, and I have a beautiful wife that can lead the way. What can fans expect at Kaaboo? Will you be sharing a lot of material from your latest album? Most likely will be going heavily off of the newest records, but I never make any promises. If you want to bet on something, never bet on me doing the same thing twice. I might, but it still isn’t a safe bet. For more about Earle, visit www.justintownesearle.com.

Daily Harvest Express brings the garden to your home or office BY KELLEY CARLSON No time to go to the farmers market? No problem — there’s one that will come to you. Daily Harvest Express LLC delivers organic fruits and vegetables from local farms to customers’ front doors, businesses’ break rooms and schools. It also has a mobile farm truck cart service that visits companies throughout San Diego County. To get on board with the service, all you have to do is go to the company’s website, www.dailyharvestmarket. Above, a typical fall veggie box; right, Daily Harvest com, set up an account, and Express LLC owners Ivonne Ganss, Rafael Garcia and select from themed boxes. There’s everything from Janis Garcia. Courtesy photos the Fruit & Veggie Medley and the Juicer’s Detox Box to the Assorted Seasonal Fruit Box, or people can build their own boxes. Customers can also purchase items such as eggs, artisan cheeses, sea salt, mini pies, coffee, honey, nuts, olive oils and spices. There are no account set-up fees, and there’s no commitment — people can order once or arrange regular deliveries, whatever fits their needs. And if there is a set schedule, items can be held during vacations, and customers are only charged upon delivery. The family-owned and -operated company is overseen by Rafael and Janis Garcia, and their daughter, Ivonne Ganss. The idea first began to take root when Janis Garcia, who has a background in marketing for pharmaceutical and biotech companies, found herself out of work in 2010. She was invited to work for a small farm in Encinitas, Go Green Agriculture, to help with their marketing. During her yearlong employment, Garcia helped the company enter big market chains such as Whole Foods, Sprouts and Jimbo’s. Meanwhile, she also became acquainted with other members of the local farming community, and learned that their primary source of income was farmers markets. “They don’t have the resources and the capacity to go into large retailers,” she said. Garcia was inspired to help these small farmers find additional outlets. So with her family, she started Daily Harvest Market, a fruit-and-vegetable stand at Sunshine Gardens in Encinitas, in November 2012. But not long afterward, Garcia was diagnosed with melanoma. With her daughter Ganss’ help and encouragement, the family changed the business model in 2013 — they moved their base to an old greenhouse at 712 Clark Ave., and became an e-commerce company. Besides allowing Garcia to recover, the shift let the company become more efficient and create less product waste. “Very quickly, we saw a very positive change,” Garcia said. Initially, the company mostly focused on businesses, bringing fresh fruit to break rooms around San Diego County. Daily Harvest Market’s popularity grew, as employees began making personal requests, and the company added home deliveries to its services.

In August 2014, the county of San Diego invited the company to set up a mobile farm stand at its main location in Kearny Mesa and then travel to its multiple affiliated locations as part of a wellness program. This past April, the company added a mobile farm truck cart service and changed its name to Daily Market Express, setting up in parking lots and hosting Lunch & Learn sessions for employees several days a week. Today, Daily Harvest Express — a member of the San Diego Farm Bureau — receives organic products from about 25 vendors, including Suzie’s Farm, Sage Mountain Farm and Dassi Family Farms, and is constantly adding more. The company receives most of its products on Mondays and Tuesdays, so everything is delivered fresh. The farm boxes are wellrounded and stocked with family-friendly, “familiar” foods, Garcia noted. “We rarely get (people asking), ‘What is it?’ ” Ganss said with a chuckle. To help customers with preparation ideas, Daily Harvest Express posts recipes on its web and Facebook pages. The company delivers to individuals on Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout San Diego County. Its boundaries are south Oceanside to the north, downtown San Diego to the south, and from the coast to Interstate 15. It will drop off at a client’s front door, work or home. Delivery is $5 for orders under $25, or free for larger orders. Customers are also welcome to pick up their orders at Daily Harvest Express’ location on Clark Avenue. However, because the property is being sold, the company will be moving Oct. 1 to the Gateway Business Center off El Camino Real in Carlsbad. Daily Harvest Express also has delivery arrangements with several schools, in which parents order online and then pick up orders at the campus. The company gives back 5 percent of proceeds to the PTAs of participating schools. At the end of the week, any leftover perishables are donated to the Encinitas Community Resource Center, Garcia said.

American Heart Association’s 24th San Diego Heart and Stroke Walk is Sept. 19 Recently, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a call to action to promote walking. “Walking is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to build physical activity into your life. You don’t need a fancy gym membership or a set of skills. It’s something all of us can do,” he explained. An average of 22 minutes of daily moderate physical activity — roughly about 2 1/2 hours a week — could significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Regular physical activity also can reduce symptoms of depression and mental illness. The American Heart Association encourages the public to join them, along with almost 9,000 other San Diegans, on Saturday, Sept. 19, at the 24th Annual American Heart Association Heart & Stroke Walk to learn more about the health benefits of walking and to get started down the path toward a healthier heart. The Heart and Stroke Walk, in Balboa Park, inspires participants to embrace a renewed commitment to heart-healthy living through walking and other healthy habits. The American Heart Association is focused on getting San Diegans up and moving, while hoping to raise more than $1 million to invest in research to discover new ways to treat and prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke. The non-competitive 4.1 mile route features teams of employees from local companies as well as community teams. Friends and family members of all ages are invited to join. Heart disease and stroke survivors will receive special survivor caps to distinguish them from the rest of the pack. There will also be a special one-mile course for survivors. Participants are invited to stick around for the Expo to enjoy Subway sandwiches, healthy snack samples, entertainment and other wellness booths and activities, including free health screenings provided by UC San Diego Health. The San Diego Heart and Stroke Walk is part of San Diego’s “My Heart. My Life.” campaign and is presented locally by Union Bank and nationally by Subway. “Our goal is to share lifesaving heart and brain-health information and to increase awareness of the health benefits of walking,” explained Union Bank Managing Director Anthony Perez.

Lux Art Institute Fall Fest Lux Art Institute held its first Fall Fest Sept. 12. Fall Fest combined the viewing of art with the creation of art. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about Lux’s art classes through hands-on workshops with visiting artists. Included at Fall Fest was the opening of the Max Greis exhibition in the Artist Pavilion. While in residence at Lux, Greis will use footage he recorded on the train ride from New York to California to construct a detailed video landscape projected on top of hand-painted panels. The event also featured art demonstrations, a local art market, live music and food trucks in the Education Pavilion. Visit www. luxartinstitute.org. Photos by McKenzie Images.

END OF SUMMER SALES EVENT 2015 VW Jetta S Lease for The Sept. 11 game included a pre-game tribute, “Salute to America.” Photo by Anna Scipione

Cathedral Catholic tops Falcons, 28-14; deals defeats to freshman, JV teams BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines vs. Cathedral Catholic isn’t a cross-town rivalry; it’s a cross-street rivalry. So turnout, spirit, and crowd volume were high as the Dons defeated the Torrey Pines Falcons, 28-14. But both sides came together in a pre-game 9-11 tribute to America’s first responders and military. San Diego police and firefighters, and Marines participated in the tribute, to raucous acclaim from the crowd. Cathedral drove the opening kickoff 71 yards for the game’s first score. Adam Eastwood ran for 18 yards, and quarterback Tate Haynes threw 16 yards to Antoine Lee for the touchdown. After holding the Falcon offense, the Dons were driving again when Falcon Thomas Stearn picked off a pass. Torrey Pines came up short on 4th and 1, and the first half settled into a defensive struggle, ending with Cathedral up 7-0. In the second half, Hogan Irwin broke free for a 44-yard touchdown run to put the Dons on top 14-0. Then a 20-yard pass to Jack Thompson set Cathedral up for a 6-yard TD strike to Patrick Brown. Dons 21-0. A fumbled snap caused a short Falcon punt, giving the Dons the ball again deep in Torrey Pines territory, and they capitalized quickly to take a 28-0 lead. Torrey Pines never gave up, and Michael Perrone separated a receiver from his catch and grabbed the fumble. On the next snap, Luke Duerr rambled 21 yards to make

it 28-7. Despite good gains by Jack Lewis breaking tackles, the Torrey Pines defense stiffened and forced the Dons to punt. Starting on their own 25 with just 4:25 remaining, the Falcons moved downfield behind the running of Duerr and Jacob Montes, scoring on a 17-yard strike from Caden Kelly to Michael Gadinas, who barely got his feet down in the corner of the end zone. Torrey Pines recovered the onside kick, but the formidable Dons defense sacked Kelly twice, and time ran out. The Dons won 28-14. Earlier, Cathedral had dealt both younger teams their first season losses, defeating the freshmen 41-0 and the JV 26-0. Cathedral JV took a 13-0 lead in the first quarter. Falcon Peter Nelson and Don No. 10 traded back-to-back interceptions. Pass completions to Parker Williams took the Falcons down to the goal line where, after much confusion by the officials regarding the game clock, it was announced the half was over. In the second half, Torrey Pines still couldn’t move the ball. Meanwhile, despite some impressive tackles by Falcon Louis Bickett, Dons Christopher Calhoun and Colin Myers each ran for long gains and touchdowns. Dons 26-0. The Falcons threatened after a 38-yard scramble by quarterback Chris Temby, but again were stopped in the red zone. This week Torrey Pines takes on Westview, while Cathedral plays Helix.

Lighting the Way to the Most Dramatic Home Theater in San Diego San Diego Home Theater Experts, Modern Home Systems, on lighting your home theater properly. 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.

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. Lighting Automation Dramatic home theater, San Diego, La Jolla 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. 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. 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. 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.

On October 16, 2015 at 09:00 AM, Entrance of the East County Regional Center, East County Regional Center, 250 E. Main Street, El Cajon, CA 92020, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on February 27, 2007 as Instrument No. 2007-0130602 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County, California, executed by IRENE E VALENTI AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of WASHINGTON MUTUAL BANK, FA as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 16275 VIA DE LA VALLE, RANCHO SANTA FE, CA 92067 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $9,658,729.15 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidd l h

ding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner: The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08004312-14-2. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
