RANCHO SANTA FE — The Association voted at its Aug. 5 meeting to proceed with a Covenant Modification for the Osuna Ranch property, modifying the zoning to accommodate a new patrol station, a passive park and the adobe as a museum.

Finding a location for the station has been in the works for some time.

More than five years ago, the Association began the process of locating and securing new facilities for the patrol.

“It has proven to be a very difficult task,” planner Ivan Holler said at the meeting. “The criteria for the site has been for a permanent location, function TURN TO PATROL ON A20

Because of contributions not arriving as expected, the performing arts center will be unfinished when school starts.

RANCHO SANTA FE — Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser reported to the Association the statistics for the first six months of the year at the Aug. 5 meeting.

Wellhouser told the Association that his numbers have not changed much since this time last year.

“Burglary is down a little and our overall volume is about the same,” Wellhouser said.

He said there were 1,598 calls dispatched and 278 alarm calls for the period.

“We had 13 burglaries, six were commercial burglaries where there were thefts and tools from construction

Construction on Rowe school nears completion

By Patty McCormac

RANCHO SANTA FE — It is crunch time for construction workers, trying to complete the new R. Roger Rowe School before school begins Sept. 7.

“We’re huffing and puffing, but we’re doing well,” said Tim Ireland, project manager.

Just before the school board meeting on Aug. 4, Superintendent Lindy Delaney led what would probably be the last official tour of the school before the school

year begins.

“It’s like a palace,” said board President Scot Cheatham upon his return from the tour.

“We still have some inside painting and carpeting that go like that,” Ireland said snapping his fingers.

Ireland told the board that most of the work will be done before the students arrive, but some will have to be finished on weekends, probably through October.

The project has not been

without problems, however, in these last days of construction.

“There are some striated panels in the administration building and they are not lining up properly,” Ireland said.

“These are expensive panels and we want perfection.”

Also, he said other panels don’t stay flush together in a lot of locations.

Ireland said they will reject the work and withhold pay from the contractor until the defects are repaired, which would be sometime

ODD Walk raises funds for Cancer Angels FILES

by CHUCK SHEPHERD

By Patty McCormac

LEAD STORY Woody Allen Joke Come to Life: Shirley Anderson, 71, is suing her son Ken, 46, in Vancouver, British Columbia, for parental support — even though she and his father had abandoned him when he was 15 (having one day just picked up and moved and, as in Mr. Allen’s joke, “left no forwarding address”). An archaic 1922 law in British Columbia obligates adult children to support “dependent” parents, and in 2000, Shirley sued, demanding $350(Cdn) per month each from Ken, who is a trucker, and his four siblings (three of whom were at least 17 when the parents left and not considered “abandoned”). A judge awarded token interim support pending a final resolution, which after years of paperwork and delay was to come in early August but has been postponed once again.

The Continuing Crisis — We Have Rules! A team of anglers from Hatteras, N.C., had first place wrapped up in the prestigious Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in June, salivating over their $1,231,575 prize money (including a bonus for single-largest catch), when judges discovered that one member of the Hatteras crew, Peter Wann, had not gotten a $30 North Carolina coastal recreational fishing license before their boat pushed off that day. Under the rules, the entire team was disqualified, and the runner-up, from Cape Carteret, N.C., got the money.

— They Don’t Make “Drug Lords” Like They Used To: Widely feared Jamaican drug kingpin Christopher “Dudus” Coke was arrested in June and extradited to New York City after being picked up wearing women’s clothes and a 1970s-style Afro wig too small for his head (with a pink wig on standby).

The Jamaica Observer reported that Coke wet his pants as he was arrested.

— “(A) new high point” in electoral politics in Philadelphia occurred this spring, according to the publisher of Philadelphia Gay News, when openly gay state Rep. Babette Josephs “outed” her primary opponent Gregg Kravitz as straight. According to Josephs, the heterosexual Kravitz was posing in Josephs’ gay-friendly 182nd District as bi-sexual. Kravitz said he is “attracted” to both men and women and found Josephs’ comments offensive.

RANCHO SANTA FE — Since David Angleton was diagnosed with cancer two years ago, he has undergone aggressive treatment that has left him too exhausted to work at his regular job as a construction worker.

Angleton, 42, has insurance that covers his medical treatment but does not cover anything else.

“If not for the Cancer Angels, I would be living in the street,” he said. “I could not survive in the street with my condition. The Cancer Angels have been a blessing.”

Angleton, who gets help with his rent from the Angels, was taking part in a fundraising walk on July 31 at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe. About 100 people turned out for the event on a beautiful sunny afternoon to raise money to help people like Angleton with Stage IV cancer who find themselves fighting for their lives and fighting to keep the lights on, food in the cupboard and a roof over their heads.

Eve Beutler founded the Cancer Angels in September 2007, when as a family therapist, one of her clients with Stage IV breast cancer didn’t SUPPORTERS Linda Rideout of Encinitas stands behind her friend know where to turn to meet Escondido resident Ramie Hoag, a cancer patient.

“I called everywhere and there was nothing out there for her,” Beutler said.

On behalf of her client she held a fundraiser at the Meritage Restaurant in Encinitas where $33,000 was raised.

“We were able to keep eight people in their homes,” she said.

Since then between 85 and 100 people have been helped with living expenses so that they concentrate on their treatment.

“It is a great cause,” said Burhan Oral of Rancho Santa Fe who had turned out for the event along with his dog Romeo.

“They (cancer patients) don’t get enough government help and that’s not right. We are here to help each other.”

The event began with people signing in with Peggy Lebo and Ginger Evans. Next they did warm-up exercises courtesy of Tiffany Ferrari, Shana Frey, Heidi Barajas and Bryce Beutler, all of Fitness on the Move, Inc. Then it was off for the walk.

Reality TV star Kip Locke, also the son of Beutler, drove a golf cart to ferry people back and forth from the parking lot to the event.

Citizen input sought on I-5 expansion draft EIR

By Bianca Kaplanek

Although Del Mar will comment on an environmental impact report for the proposed expansion of Interstate 5, the city has little money, if any, to do so and certainly nowhere near the $85,000 adjacent Solana Beach allocated to hire a consultant to help review the document.

So with council members in recess until Sept. 13 — about three weeks before the comment deadline — Planning Manager Adam Birnbaum is reviewing the document while staff is recruiting volunteers and trying to resurrect a 12member citizens committee that provided input last year

for the Del Mar Fairgrounds expansion draft EIR. Councilman Carl Hilliard, a council liaison for the fairgrounds project, said committee members may be hesitant to reconvene without help and guidance from the city attorney, which they previously had, but he is hopeful at least some will be willing to again share their expertise.

Meanwhile, the city manager is seeking ways to partner with other cities such as Solana Beach to share information, and the city attorney is putting together a cost estimate if her services are needed.

The California Department of Transportation is proposing

to expand a 27-mile stretch of I-5 from La Jolla Village Drive to Harbor Drive in Oceanside.

The project will have a major impact on at least six communities, but unlike most, it will not run through the center of Del Mar. “Our jurisdiction stops far to the west of the actual corridor, so we aren’t as directly impacted, but there are resources that we care about that will be,” Councilwoman Crystal Crawford said.

“So we need to figure out what position we, as a community, want to take on these issues and how we’re best going to weigh in on that in a way that we frankly can afford,” she said.

Following a presentation at the Aug. 2 meeting by Allan Kosup from Caltrans, the lead agency for the proposed expansion, Crawford said she needs more information before taking a position.

She reminded her colleagues that City Council opposed the Interstate 5/805 interchange in the late 1990s, a project that has helped congestion in Del Mar, especially along the Coast Highway.

Caltrans is holding a series of public workshops to provide and receive input on the approximately TURN TO EXPANSION ON A22

Residents question new neighborhood cell tower

By Alyx Sariol

City planners are reviewing a proposed wireless communication facility on Carlsbad Village Drive that has some local residents concerned about property value and health issues.

Planners Chris DeCerbo and Shelley Glennon held an informal hearing July 26 to review the proposed Sprint/ Clearwire project with both the applicants and residents.

Homeowner Max Perez requested the hearing during the city’s required noticing period.

“When stuff like this comes into our neighborhood, we take a big interest,” Perez said. “We don’t want our neighborhood to change — these projects aren’t making it any better.”

The project was initially approved by the city because it meets the requirements of Carlsbad’s Policy 64, which

requires projects be installed in preferred locations and meet FCC regulations.

Sprint/Clearwire proposed the project for installation on the REMAX building roof located at 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive. It includes wireless antennas and directional units to increase wireless coverage in nearby residential areas.

Antennas would be located at the roof’s edges and hidden by an enclosure that matches the style of the existing building.

“You can’t shoot over the roof because you’ll lose all the signal,” Sprint/Clearwire engineer Fernando Carranza said as he explained why the antennas couldn’t be located in the middle of the roof. “We have to make the best of what we have to design with.”

Residents in attendance at the hearing voiced their

concerns about loss in property value, health concerns and the visual appearance of the structure.

“Our neighborhood is bad enough as it is,” longtime resident Elizabeth Hickey said. Her house is located directly next to the proposed project site. “If I build up my house, I’ll be staring at it. Who wants to live with this?”

Due to the unique residential and professional zoning of the REMAX building, the project is closer to homes than usually permitted.

Clearwire representatives reassured residents that the location meets all the necessary requirements and close proximity to the antennas should not be of concern.

“In order to provide coverage to these residential areas, we need that location,” Clearwire’s project planner Danielle Goldman said.

City planners will review the project again to determine whether the project is right for the neighborhood.

They will release a decision within 20 days of the informal hearing.

“If it’s in a preferred location, stealth in design and meets the FCC regulations, then typically we don’t have discretion to say no,” DeCerbo said.

Should the project be approved, the residents have a right to appeal their case to the planning commission.

The residents plan to continue reaching out to their neighbors for support against the wireless facility.

“What they’re talking about putting in our neighborhood is like putting a spaceship and a martian in the countryside with a guy holding a shotgun and a beat up truck,” Perez said.

Church bingo delays vote on law

By Bianca Kaplanek

Say the word bingo and images of people sitting in church halls with letteredand-numbered 5-by-5 cards come to mind. But as council members try to create a law that will allow the game in Del Mar,it may be prohibited at the only quintessential bingo facility in the city.

Council members said they have no problem permitting bingo at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. They also agreed it would be appropriate in public facility areas that include sites such as the library, Powerhouse Community Center, Winston School and City Hall.

But they all had concerns when it came to allowing the game in a residential zone, which is where St. Peter’s Episcopal Church is located.

State law allows charitable bingo as a means to provide alternative funding for nonprofit organizations. It dictates maximum payouts, who can host the games and how much the city can recover — a maximum of $50 for processing fees and the costs to provide law enforcement and other public safety services.

Del Mar is the only city in the county that doesn’t allow the game.

Last year officials from the 22nd District Agricultural Association submitted a request to host bingo at the fairgrounds to help make up for a decline in satellite wagering at the Surfside Race Place.

Council discussed the issue at two meetings and in May of this year directed staff to create an ordinance.

Planning Manager Adam Birnbaum presented a draft ordinance at the July 26 meeting that outlined how, when and where the game could be played in Del Mar. He said residential zones were included specifically so bingo could be played at St. Peter’s.

One provision required a conditional use permit in those areas.

But efforts to accommodate the church proved to be problematic.

“I think making that exception for one organization opens the door to other bingo games in residential areas that we don’t want to deal with,” Councilman Don Mosier said.

“You’re much more likely to have adverse impacts on the local community in those residential neighborhoods,” he said. “To my mind the easy way to deal with that is just not have the CUP process and not have any bingo in the residential areas.”

Councilman Carl Hilliard agreed. “I am concerned about extending it into the residential areas,” he said. “While I don’t want to preclude the church ... they create a special problem.”

“Let’s not put it in the residential, even though we TURN TO BINGO ON A23

In case you hadn’t noticed, I hate single-use plastic. You might say it’s been my ‘PET’ peeve for the past decade. While there is growing concern in the public arena over plastic and Styrofoam, yes, petrochemicals, many people are still confused about or even unaware of their addiction to the bags and bottles that are fouling our precious land, streams and oceans.

I was recently at a UCSD event where I saw the same old, same old behavior ... PET bottles everywhere. What are they thinking? These young people are the hope of the future, cream-of-thecrop university students who we trust to bring about positive changes in the planet.

Now picture the boardroom of a local alternative energy company where a dozen experts were recently discussing wind power.

PET bottles all around, necessary I’m sure to prevent dehydration and certain death during an hourlong meeting. Green business leaders.

At my favorite sushi place, I can’t get a take-home container other than Styrofoam or plastic. I appealed to the owner that his business depends on the health of

the ocean and fish. He didn’t get it, then blamed the suppliers, the guys whose e-mails I receive from an organization that promotes great packaging solutions, which are plastic, of course, that ends up in the trash. Recycled? I doubt it.

Biodegradable packaging isn’t reliable yet, so I bring my own ceramic dish. If he doesn’t like it, I will do business elsewhere.

If you still aren’t convinced, go to www.algalita.org or “ The Gyre.” Did you see Katic Couric’s interview with the producer of “Tapped”? We are inundated with plastic in every venue from sporting events to outdoor concerts to gyms, fast-food restaurants, most coffee shops, every shelf in the supermarket or health food store ...Yikes! How do we avoid single-use plastic?

There is hope. Many people are carrying reusable bags and aluminum bottles. Many have installed home water filtration systems. The State Legislature is about to vote on AB 1998 (Bag Ban). The grocers and retailers are supporting it. California led the way with legislation banning cigarette smoking and we will do it again with this issue. This is all TURN TO NANNINGA ON A23

Cardiff sculpture garners nationwide attention Cardiff surfin!

The bronze surfer sculpture that has been the object of lottsa brickbats is still reaping attention a month after it was encased in the jaws of a papier-mache shark.

Unfortunately, city officials saw the need to destroy it when it was attracting a constant flow of onlookers and, yes, admirers. The statue made its debut in 2007 and remains but the shark is now history. There are scads of pix and videos being shown all over the country. Cardiffby-the-Sea’s reputation as the surfin’ capital of the universe has further been enhanced by some creative minds. How will the surfer appear next? Who knows. Recently a poem by the late The Coast News columnist Bob Nanninga engraved in granite was installed at the base through the efforts of Mike Clark and Keith Shillington.

MAEGA pays tribute to outgoing board members

By Bianca Kaplanek

As the Mexican American Educational Guidance Association, or MAEGA, celebrated 40 years of helping Latino students fulfill their college dreams, board members and scholarship recipients past and present honored outgoing officers Dick Wheelock and Bill Arballo during an anniversary dinner July 31 at the Encinitas Community Center.

“They are MAEGA,” said Caroline Matthews, chairwoman for the fundraising event. “They made it what it is today.”

Earlier this year the organization established scholarships in their names.

“It’s one way we can honor and remember their commitment,” said Anna Vallez, this year’s board president and a past award recipient.

Marilyn Voorhies began the tribute by chronicling the lives of Wheelock and Arballo as they grew up in Arizona and San Diego, respectively.

Voorhies went on to highlight their military service during the early war years, their successful careers — Wheelock as a physician and Arballo as a journalist — and their combined 70-plus years as volunteers for MAEGA. The men each received an autographed photo of this year’s scholarship recipients and board members.

founding members, has served as president for several years. He said the first year the group granted three $100 scholarships. At its annual reception this June 21, 73 students were awarded $68,900 in scholarships.

Sandra Morales, who will be attending the University of California Davis, received the inaugural William Arballo Scholarship. Ethel Gijon, the first recipient of t h e Dr. Richard Wheelock

Scholarship, will be a freshman at the University of California Riverside this fall.

Jorge Arciniega, a 1975 award recipient, couldn’t attend the dinner but sent a letter stating he was surprised and happy to hear the

“Bill and Doc receive much of the credit for its success and longevity,” wrote Arciniega, who went on to receive degrees from the University of California Los Angeles and Harvard Law School.

This unique program is currently in place and fully funded through the Pusan School Board in coordination with federal and provincial agencies.

DR. GOTT Second Opinion

Weight loss means gains in health, life expectancy Dear Dr. Gott: I just wanted you to know that I have lost 155 pounds using your no-flour, no-sugar diet.

I think I should be your spokesperson!

Seriously, I am a 56year-old female teacher, and I wanted to get in shape before I retired a year ago. I also wanted to be healthier and have a long retirement life. At my previous weight, I was unhappy, unhealthy and unfit to do anything physical, so I tried your diet plan. It worked and it has just kept on working.

It took me two years to get the weight off, and I still have around 27 pounds to go, but my doctor says I have probably added 10 years to my life. I used to be on three different highblood-pressure medications and had to use a c-pap machine every night because of sleep apnea.

Now I am medication-free, and my sleep apnea has disappeared.

I have taken up walking each day now, and last week, even at my age of 56, was able to walk 34 miles! I truly believe you have saved my life, so I wanted to send you my belated thanks. You rock, Dr. Gott!

Dear Reader: Congratulations! You have made a remarkable change in your life, and I commend your efforts. Making the decision to turn your life around and work toward better health is often the most difficult part of losing weight.

Healthful weight loss will not happen overnight.

It takes time to gain weight and it takes time to lose it.

You averaged a weight loss of about 1-1/2 pounds per week, which is appropriate.

I am pleased to hear that you are now able to be more active. If you continue to walk four to five miles a day, you will increase your muscle tone and further improve your health.

Keep up the good work and enjoy your retirement.

You deserve it.

I’m kind of worried about teenagers using them all the time like they do. I don’t think we’re meant to have something that receives cell signals so close to our brain all the time.

I would say besides the driving issue, the Bluetooth and everything they’ve instituted in California is for the better.

My husband is yelling at me to not use mine that much any more, so I’m going to say in excess I think they do.

Constant gray skies still have a silver lining No one is more excited than I that the sun has finally made a shaky appearance around here. Still, the summer of 2010 has pretty much JEAN given us the cold shoulder GILLETTE and I was royally displeased.

One of my true joys in Small Talk life is the freedom of slipping on sandals and light veins to the general public.

Until this week, I have worn sweatshirts and remained shod in tennis shoes. My toes felt claustrophobic in the extreme.

I longed for this cool weather as I was sweating through high school in El Cajon and later living in Palm Springs. Now, when my metabolism has pretty much shut down, the breezes stay brisk. Ah, fickle fate.

It seems the ocean water stayed chilly courtesy of La Nina, and until it hits the high 60s, the marine layer will not budge. June and July water temps hovered at a nippy 63 degrees.

Rodriquez, former chef at the Hotel Del on Coronado, excitedly talks about his two $41,000 “smart” ovens that do everything except serve the food. He enthusiastically pushes buttons on the wonder oven, explaining cooking cycles for beef, chicken, lamb and more — technology that makes possible near perfection in cooking.

“I don’t like to focus on one type of food,” Rodriquez tells us he cruises on past giant mixers, gargantuan stainless steel mixing bowls and a walk-in fridge and freezer. “We like to have a global focus.”

Rodriquez’ kitchen is the nerve center for all food preparation at the Laguna Cliffs, which reopened April 30 after a multi-million dollar renovation. All 378 guest rooms received a makeover that reflects its four-star status, and a stunning new lounge and patio overlooking Dana Point harbor have been added. Colorful flowers ring the expansive lawn where visitors can stroll, meditate, stretch or nap, and orchids throughout the hotel’s contemporary interior make for a serene and organic atmosphere.

The food alone would be reason enough to visit and/or stay at the Laguna Cliffs, but there are others.

For one, it’s but 45 minutes from coastal North County. For another, it offers expansive views of picturesque Dana Harbor (May through October is blue whale-sighting season), and also is adjacent to a city park, which visually and physically extends the property and is rarely crowded.

Don’t sign and don’t talk!

What the heck does that mean? It’s shorthand for advise I give to all of my clients in consumer protection cases: 1. Don’t ever sign anything without fully understanding what you are agreeing to.

2. Don’t ever talk to collection agencies on the telephone unless you are recording the conversation after getting their consent to the recording on the tape.

Otherwise, everything is by email, fax or letter. Period.

Following these two simple rules will make life a lot easier. Here’s the story of a recent case illustrating these two rules.

A relative borrowed some money from an elderly aunt for a down payment on an expensive RV. The aunt agreed, but insisted upon a written document promising a payback of the money. The aunt was legally blind.The relative told the aunt that the RV salesperson would come to her home with the papers to sign, guaranteeing the re-payment of the borrowed money, but only that and nothing more.

It seemed like she signed a lot of papers just to guarantee her loan to the relative.

The salesperson said they were “routine” and didn’t explain them. The relative stepped outside (conveniently) during the signing process.

Being legally blind, she obviously didn’t read what she was

J MICHAEL VALLEE The Law and You signing. Instead of simply a note guaranteeing her repayment, she signed papers actually buying the RV and being on the hook for an RV loan of tens of thousands of dollars.

The relative without any money was the co-buyer and got the RV. Naturally, the relative failed to make any payments on the RV loan. A collection agency soon called the aunt demanding money or they would “take everything she had,” “ruin her credit” and “she would lose her home.” It was only then that she realized that she’d been tricked into signing for the whole RV instead of just a note promising that the relative would repay her the money they had borrowed. Over a four-month period, she got more than 340 separate calls from the collection agency; some days she got up to six calls per day. She kept answering her phone and talking to them. She began giving them her credit card information to pay them just so they would leave her alone.

She finally had had enough and contacted us. We were able to not only get her off the RV title and loan, but requirement. (The cow must keep walking to avoid sliding down an incline.)

got her credit cleared, got all of her money back including the original loan, and got her a very substantial settlement for the cheating and harassment.

So, lessons learned: never sign anything without knowing what you are signing.

Should RV dealers go to an elderly, legally blind person’s home and have them sign legal documents without explanation? Of course not, but she shouldn’t have signed anything without having a trusted friend, advisor, or even an attorney check them out first. Secondly, if called by a collection agency for any reason whatsoever should you talk to them, try to reason with them, or try to work something out on the phone? Never (unless you have their consent and record the conversation).

Tell them not to call and follow that up with a letter or e-mail demanding that they not call, and that they need to put whatever they want to tell you into writing. Save all voicemails from that point forward. Always save copies of both your and their communications as evidence. Follow these two steps and things will go much easier on your stress level and your pocketbook.

Auto debt driving reader to bankruptcy Dear Bruce: The recession hit me hard, so I did a voluntary repossession on my automobile. My salary had been decreased, and the car payments became more then I could handle. I had the car for three years of a four-year loan. Since the repossession, I have been able to keep up with my other bills now.The repossession did appear on my credit report, but I am disputing the amount on there.The car was sold, but it said I still owed $15,000. How can that be? I had originally purchased the car for $35,000, and I only owed one more year’s worth of payments.

Since the car was sold, I have not had any contact with anyone about collecting “$15,000.” I had applied for a loan, and all of a sudden now I’m getting phone calls from debt collectors for this balance, and a lawsuit will be filed with an attorney if I don’t pay, etc. I have never wanted to file bankruptcy, but I also do not intend to pay this old debt, especially that amount. I have requested proof of what the car was sold for but have not received anything. Is there anything I can do? — B.R., via e-mail Dear Reader: Unfortunately, these types of things just don’t go away and can hang on for a long period of time. When you do a voluntary repossession, the lender will then sell the car,

BRUCE WILLIAMS Smart Money and whatever the deficiency is, you will be responsible for that.These types of debts get handed around from one credit company to another, and these debts ordinarily can be refiled and just don’t go away. I’d suggest that before you arbitrarily file bankruptcy, you discuss this matter with an attorney. Just bear in mind that it’s not going to go away by itself.

Dear Bruce: My parents were married for 50 years when my mother suddenly died. My father has since remarried a very lovely woman, who has moved into my parents’ home. Recently, my dad added her name to the deed. How is this going to affect the will, which states that when my father passes away, the house is to be divided between my sister and I? She has a son. Is he going to have an interest in our family home? — Reader, via e-mail Dear Reader: Depending on how this property was titled, the house may be entirely the husband’s upon your mother’s death. If the house is titled “tenants by the entirety” this means simply that when

either person dies, the other person owns the entire property. This is also true with joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. If the intention was for you and your sister to have the rights to the house once your father passes away, see an attorney.

Your father cannot now leave the property to you and your sister, as he now only owns half of the property. You should sit down with your father, alone, and go over this with him. If his intentions are still for you and your sister to have the house, this will need to get straightened out with the help of an attorney.

Dear Bruce: A friend of mine has been telling me about Internet banks. She claims they offer a higher interest rate on CDs. How safe are these Internet banks? Do you think it’s wise to get involved with a bank online, or are they scams like everything else on the Internet regarding money?

How do I know if they are legit? — S.T., via e-mail Dear Reader: The biggest thing you need to find out when dealing with an online bank is whether they are FDIC insured.

Baking cakes proves to be good for the soul MACHEL PENN SHULL Machel’s Ranch I’m not really one to rant on something.

Originally, I had submitted a different story for my column. What I had sent in was an opinion on “zip code snobbery,” which I’m sure none of you are really concerned about.

Sometimes sleeping on it is exactly what everyone needs to do. After reading it the next morning, I decided if someone wants to feel better about their zip code, what’s so terrible about that? You work hard, you slave, and if where you live makes you feel better about tackling this life, by all means indulge in those feelings. What makes more sense to share is what I recently discovered: I love to bake cakes.

When I went home to my sister’s wedding, I baked a whopping 9 cakes in a two week stretch. I blissfully slaved away mixing and frosting cakes for many hours with a smile just plastered across my face. Yes, I know...I’ve thought about it.

I may be having an early mid-life crisis. Mine just happens to be in the form of baking.

Last week I even offered to make the cake for a bridal shower for my inlaws. I think my husband’s family seemed surprised that I had volunteered for this most important task. I have, after all been with them for almost three years.

Their daughter-in-law by marriage for one year, and never once I have I offered to bake a cake. I think that seemed rather odd to them.

I’ve made salads, or brought side dishes or offered to pick up a pie. But never once have I offered to bake something.

With much delight, they said yes to my request. So imagine me baking a double layer white cake with strawberry rhubarb cheesecake filling. I made the decadent butter cream frosting. You might be wondering if I have ever made this recipe before.

No. Just whipped it up out

of thin air, like I had been doing it most of my life. Of course, I did receive a couple of important tips from my sister. She helped me narrow down my idea of how to make the rhubarb strawberry filling. How is it that I have now only discovered my love for making sugary white frosting, beating eggs and decorating cakes in my late thirties?

That’s part of the mystery in our journey. We must unearth those simple pleasures that add meaning to

our daily routine. Baking cakes just make me smile.

Stellar Scholar where futures are designed Ever wonder why even the sharpest kids don't always excel in school? We did, and after reviewing decades of research and applying years of teaching experience, Stellar Scholar owner, Dr. Nicole Wahab, came to this conclusion: Although teachers are doing the best they can, there is not enough time for the students to apply the new knowledge they acquire in the classroom each day, which is a miss-step in the learning cycle.

Students must have time to apply their knowledge in order to construct meaning. Without the APPLY step, students have a hard time recalling and understanding material when it is presented again or in a different way. There is an expectation that students

Dear Bruce: My husband and I have some extra money, and we were thinking of investing in a franchise. How do we go about finding a franchise? What do we need to do to get it up and running? — Reader, via e-mail Dear Reader: Brand identification is very important when looking for a franchise. If you are looking at a franchise that is popular in the Northeast but just starting up in the West, you may have some difficulty with the bank. Successful franchises that have been around for some time have a far lower failure rate than brand new startups. When you order French fries at McDonald’s you know exactly what you’re going to get.

When you drive up to XYZ’s Drive-in, you’re not necessarily sure. The downside is that you will have a partner for life. You are not allowed the individuality that you would have in your standalone enterprise for obvious reasons. What makes a franchise successful is uniformity, and if the franchisers allowed your unit to put Swiss cheese on hamburgers, then that departure would dilute the value of the franchise. There is a franchise magazine, and I’m sure there is a wealth of information about franchises on the Internet. Just do your homework. Be aware of the licensing requirements in your state, and be certain to check credentials of the franchiser very carefully.

Substantial amounts of money are required upfront from the established franchisers. Understand that while you have a far better chance of success than a brand new start-up, there is no guarantee of success.

Established franchises can and do go down the toilet.

Rotary Clubs give a hand to homeless vets Members of the Del Mar and Solana Beach Rotary Club handed out 6,000 bottles of water to military veterans and volunteers at Stand Down San Diego 2010 during the long weekend of July 16 through July 18.

A group of 25 Rotarians, spouses and friends stood three-hour shifts to man the Rotary water tent during the threeday event. Many vets and volunteers who frequented the water tent said that the bottles of water were what kept them going.

Stand Down is an annual support and intervention event specifically for homeless veterans. It is held in a temporary tent city created on the athletic fields of San Diego High School. It was started in San Diego in 1988 by the Veterans Village of San Diego and continues to grow, with hands-on and financial assistance from the Veterans Administration and many other organizations.

Because the veterans and their dependents generally stay at Stand Down over the three days, civilian volunteers and active duty military personnel, approximately 3,000 strong, came in shifts to set up and break down the facilities and assist the veterans.

For more information about Stand Down San Diego, call Darcy Pavich, chaplain and Stand Down coordinator, Veterans Village of San Diego at (619) 497-0142 or e-mail darcy.pavich@vvsd.net.

The Del Mar and Solana Beach Rotary Club is a service club of business, professional, and volunteer leaders who belong to the 1.2million-member Rotary International. The club meets at the Doubletree Hotel in Carmel Valley Friday mornings from 7:15 to 8:30 a.m. For more information about the Del Mar and Solana Beach Rotary HELPING VETS Members of two teams manned the Del Mar and Solana Beach Rotary Club water tent, Club, contact President Jan including, from left, front row, Jan Parsons, Mimi Miller, Susan Hennenfent and Pat Miller, with, from left, back Parsons at (858) 699-4841, erow, Charles Foster, Nick Hennenfent, George Sousa and Mark Hennenfent.The teams handed out more than mail jaypars@aol.com or 6,000 bottles of water at Stand Down San Diego 2010.

Holler said that during the past two years, the search has been intense.

After evaluating many locations for the new station, the Association agreed that a part of the Osuna Ranch would be ideal, Holler said.

“The Association owns it, it is flat and it is large enough for sufficient parking,” he said.

would be constructed with an entrance that would not detract from the adobe, which by the zoning change, would be designated as a museum.

In the new patrol facility, work space will be provided for the CHP and sheriff’s department which the current facility does.

“It has proven to be a very successful program to increase visibility and deter crime in the community,” he said.

After determining the site would be a good one the staff and members of the Osuna Committee began meeting with neighbors to get a feel for how they would feel about having the patrol in that area.

“For the last six months we have met with neighbors out there and their response has been very, very favorable,” Holler said. “They like the idea of having the patrol close by.”

To gain approval for the Covenant Modification, twothirds of the surrounding property owners within 500 feet must give their written

approval.

John Ingalls spoke to the board about the proposed use of the property.

“It seems to be against the preservation (policies) of Rancho Santa Fe to forever change the entrance (of the Osuna Ranch),” Ingalls said.

He asked the board to continue their search for property and explore the possibility of non-covenant property, rather than to “take a step in the wrong direction.”

The Osuna property was purchased by the Association in 2006 as a way of preserving open space.

The plan was and still is to restore the adobe and make it available to the community and continue its existing horse keeping operations.

The Osuna Ranch is currently zoned “A,” residential. The new zoning “L” which would match its existing use, Holler said.

The Covenant Modification is only the first step. It still must go through the county process for final approval.

sites and seven were residential burglaries with forced entries,” he said.

He said there was one home robbery.

“He confronted the homeowner, asked for money and left,” he said.

The homeowner was not hurt.

There also was a homicide, which is still under investigation.

The body of Dr. Robert Frank Stonebreaker was found in the driveway of a home on Paseo Delicias on Jan. 16.Wellhouser said the incident was first called in as a traffic accident, but further investigation revealed he had been killed.

“There is no news on that and it is still an active case,” Wellhouser said.

He said the number of traffic accidents is about the same.

“Speed and driving under the influence,” he named as the major factors.

He said 22 percent of the calls are initiated by the patrol itself, those being a suspicious person or vehicle, being flagged down by a citizen, or discovering an unlocked door at a business.

“It’s a myriad of different things,” he said.

He said 99 percent of alarm calls are false.

“It’s an equipment problem, or they didn’t turn off the alarm when they came in,” he said.

The majority of auto burglaries were the result of people not locking their car doors.

Wellhouser reminded everyone to lock their doors and turn on their alarms when they leave their house and the same goes for cars.

He also advised residents that if they are looking to buy a home alarm system, they should choose one that is no more trouble to arm than setting a DVR. He said if it is too difficult, people will not want to deal with it and leave their home unprotected.

The patrol assisted the CHP three times, the fire department 336 times and the sheriff’s department 164 times.

In other Rancho Santa Fe Patrol news, Wellhouser said his people and the CHP will begin cracking down on weekend bicycle riders who ride in packs of as many as 150 occupying traffic lanes and clogging streets in the area.

He said after he and the CHP met with leaders of bike clubs whose members ride locally, no change in attitude has been forthcoming.

“We will begin issuing citations,” Wellhouser said.

Wellhouser, a bike rider himself, said that everyone should practice a little tolerance and share the road.

therapies, may be useful for acne management.”

Dr. Eichenfield adds that kids need to be aware of the dangers of sun exposure, which continue after they’ve returned to school.

“For uncertain reasons, there is an increasing rate of melanoma in children and adolescents,” he said. “It is appropriate to protect the skin from the sun throughout the year.”

One other thing parents need to be vigilant about are moles that begin to look different than other moles. When in doubt,he recommends a trip to the doctor’s office for an evaluation.

Also from Rady Children’s Hospital, Dr. Eric Edmonds will be addressing the subject of school athletics injuries.

Dr. Edmonds is assistant clinical professor, assistant director sports program (pediatric and adolescent) at the hospital.

He was also a “jock” himself growing up in San Diego, participating in soccer, baseball, hiking, camping and Boy Scouts.

“In junior high school I ran up to 90 miles a week so I have empathy with kids who have shin splints, knee pain DR. ERIC and ankle EDMONDS sprains,” he said.“I injured my knee during the San Diego Half Marathon so I also understand the emotional angst of not being able to hang out with my friends.”

Dr. Edmonds will address questions parents have including,“My parents never worried about me playing. Why should I be so concerned about my own kid?”

“Times have changed and the idea back then was if you joined a soccer team you’d play for three months, then not play for half a year until softball season,” he said. “Nowadays in Southern California you can play year-round. If you want your kids to excel at a sport, they have to do it all the time.

That causes major stress to their growing skeleton that could have been prevented if they rested.”

In short, Dr. Edmonds says parents need to treat their kids as if they were professional athletes mindful of injury and overuse prevention, maintaining musculoskeletal health and encouraging healthy habits at a young age.

“These ideas change depending on the age of the

“The teachers and the students are learning from each other, unlike most teaching programs, this program doesn’t just inform the teacher about how to teach English to native speakers, it allows the teacher to learn the strategy and then immediately try it with the students,” Dr. Wahab said.

The highlights of this

Hillier added that,

Another dental misconception is that cavities only occur in older children. “New statistics show that 30 to 40 percent of 3-year-old children has at least one cavity,” Dr. Davis said. “And by the time children reach elementary school the number of children with at least one cavity jumps to 50.”

good news for business, for the individual, and for the planet, but why do I still hear about changing the light bulbs, keeping the tires inflated, and driving a hybrid car as if that’s all we needed to do? Yes, of course I have replaced my lawn with a rock garden and I love it! And, yes, we need to reduce our dependency on nonrenewable resources like oil. Plastic is an oil byproduct, which is shipped on tankers fueled by oil.

There are so many reasons why we must address our plastic addiction. How about reduce, rethink, refuse, recycle? How about some closed-loop marketing, producer responsibility, more public school education about the seriousness of marine debris in the watershed and the oceans, and the truth about the failure of recycling?

Oh dear, another crisis to ruin your day! Am I sounding sarcastic and mean? Do you remember the editorial sass we used to get from Bob Nanninga?

I found him to be abrasive much of the time, but he was respected for telling it like it is. He cared about the planet and objected to the damage we are inflicting on it. Regardless of your politics, he wanted us to think about this stuff. He’s watching us.

Work on phase one grading should begin this month. Phase two building renovations will start once funding goals are met. The estimated cost for the first two phases is $490,000.

“For you to say they can just operate at that location doesn’t become fair in a zoning perspective.”

Local doctor shares his views on dangers from electromagnetic radiation

By Lillian Cox

Dr. Dan Harper, M.D., was among the first to arrive at the Encinitas City Council meeting the evening of July 21. Carrying a 12-inch stack of medical journal articles about the health risks of electromagnetic field, or EMF, radiation, he was there to speak on behalf of his patient, Michael Schwaebe.

Schwaebe was appealing the placement of WiMAX towers on the site of the former Cabo Grill at Coast Highway 101 and La Costa Avenue. WiMAX is often referred to as “a cell tower on steroids.”

Harper directed his initial remarks to the Sprint Clearwire representatives in attendance when he quoted author Upton Sinclair: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon him not understanding.”

Harper said he was frustrated, but not surprised, that he was unable to complete his presentation.

It would have been illegal.

The wireless industry is protected by Article 704 of the Telecommunications Act

DOCTOR’S IN After the Encinitas City Council defeated an appeal on July 21 to place WiMAX towers on the site of the Cabo Grill in Leucadia filed by his patient Michael Schwaebe, Dr. Dan Harper, M.D. remarked: “My heart sank as I saw big business once again put the FCC knife to the throats of the City Council and tell them they would have to sit and watch as they raped and ravaged the community and there was nothing they could do,” he said. “Every citizen is being blasted at a cellular level by this radiation. It may take two or three decades to manifest the cancer or dementia, but it is adversely affecting us all.” Photo by Lillian Cox

signed by President Clinton in 1996 which prohibits arguments of potential health risks from communications towers to be made at public hearings, even if they are legitimate.

Consequently, Schwaebe and his fellow presenters were forced to fall back on a secondary argument, declining property values as a result of placement of the WiMAX towers.

Had Dr. Harper been able to complete his speech, following are points he would have made.

Today, there is an indisputable parallel between the wireless and the tobacco industry, which was not required to post warning labels on cigarette packaging and in advertising until 1965 — after generations of families suffered from respiratory illnesses, cancers and even death due to smoking.

“It took 50 years to get warning labels and they are still selling the product,” Harper wrote in his notes.

In addition, he would have cited studies since the 1970s that show an increase

Dr. Dan’s advice Dr. Dan Harper offers a few tips on how to protect yourself from EMFs: • Purchase a Trifield Meter to measure EMF radiation in your home. The price is about $125 online.

• In homes, make sure the grounding is done correctly at the junction box of the circuit breaker and of the switch box inside that grounds to the hot water. EMF-sensitive patients have to have a 3-foot section of nonmetallic pipe between their water meter and the house, or all the grounded negative energy comes from neighboring homes into their house and onto them when they shower or do dishes.

• Keep children more than 4 to 5 feet from the front of the TV and away from any alternating current devices such as air filters, computers and stereos.

• Use a large computer monitor, with a corded mouse and key pad that can be set 3 to 4 feet away from the monitor and tower to prevent the strong EMFs from entering your body.

Stay away from laptops.

• Turn off electrical equipment at the surge protector when not in use. Turn off routers on wi-fi and computers so EMF radiation is not shot through the house and neighborhood.

• Don’t use a cordless phone. Get a speaker phone or land line.

• Limit cell phone texting and talking, turning off the phone when not in use. If it is kept turned on, it is broadcasting microwaves into the tissues of the person carrying it and those around them. Second-hand radiation is more dangerous than second-hand cigarette smoke in my opinion. The further one gets from the cell tower, the stronger the cell phone blasts into the tissues trying to reach the tower. The closer one gets to the tower, the more the tower blasts the person there, whether they have a phone on or not.

• Bluetooth phones triple the amount of negative energy entering your body.

• Finally, don’t live near a cell tower unless you have your life insurance policy and your medical insurance covers cancer, autoimmunity, dementia (including Alzheimer’s and presenile dementia), heart disease, diabetes, and a large number of so called chronic diseases that have been shown to increase in the presence of harmful EMFs at low doses.

Spending revolt bus stops in Solana Beach

By Bianca Kaplanek

Without a doubt, Americans agree to disagree when it comes to politics. But from Sacramento to Washington, D.C., there seems to be consensus in at least one area.

“Government is spending too much,” U.S. Rep. Brian Bilbray, who represents the 50th District, said when the Americans for Prosperity spending

revolt bus stopped at his Solana Beach office Aug. 5.

“It’s gone beyond what’s conceivably responsible,” he said.

Americans for Prosperity is an organization of grassroots leaders committed to educating citizens about economic policy.

The bus started in Las Vegas in late July, made its

way to Northern California, traveled down to Southern California and then headed out to zigzag across the country before reaching its final destination in the nation’s capital.

Along the way it is making strategic stops to allow people to sign their names or leave messages.

“It’s a way for people to

express their opinion and frustrations,” David Spady, the California director of Americans for Prosperity, said.

“More than any other message, this bus symbolizes that Americans don’t trust the government,” Bilbray said.

“Only when government has earned that trust does it have the right to ask for one more cent.”

Rare twin foals are out of intensive care RANCHO SANTA FE — Sunny and Angel, a pair of extremely rare twin foals that overcame amazing odds against their survival and are now four months old, have moved out of Intensive Care at Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe. They had been living in the ICU stall of the Equine Hospital since they were born March 28. As of July 30, the foals and their mother, a maiden mare named Lena, were moved to a “horse condo.”

The Quarter Horse/Arabian mix foals, an extremely rare twin birth, attracted worldwide attention during their time in the Intensive Care stall in the Equine Hospital at Helen Woodward Animal Center. The mare’s owner didn’t know Lena was expecting twins until they were born. Tests indicated that there was one colt (male). But when Sunny came out there was another foal in the same placenta. This is called an “ “eclipse” birth and the chances of both Sunny and Angel surviving more than two weeks was one in 10,000.

The foals went to full term, however, which is also very rare for twins.

Shortly after birth, veterinarian Rodrigo Vazquez discovered that Angel’s left front knee was damaged and needed a plastic splint created at HWAC. Vazquez said that the birth of twin foals is very rare because it can be extremely dangerous for the mare and the foals. Most twin pregnancies are interrupted around the second week of gestation to prevent a midterm abortion.

Helen Woodward Animal Center has set up live, streaming video at www.ustream. tv/channel/sunnyandangel twinfoals.

watched as the doctor, assisted by Equine Hospital Manager and Registered Veterinary Technicians Christen Hanley and Linda Blair, used a portable radiograph unit to view the bones in Angel’s knee, then wrap the knee and apply a splint,” Helen Woodward spokesman John Van Zante said. “It ran from her shoulder to her hoof.”

Vazquez has also occasionally applied splints to compensate for Sunny’s growth spurts. The splints were put on to fix the bones in Sunny’s legs, which had grown faster than the tendons. The tendons were keeping his legs from growing straight. His braces forced the legs to stay in the proper position and

an SUV had lost control of the vehicle and rolled several times, hitting a bicyclist in the process. Both the driver, a 17year-old female, and the bicyclist, a 29-year-old female, were transported to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido for evaluation of their injuries.

vent her legs from bowing, a much different reason than Sunny’s. Angel’s bones were not completely formed, causing her knees to buckle outward. Her braces held the legs in place until the bones could form and calcify. She then graduated from the splints to thick bandages around her

legs, allowing her to bend her knee and gain strength in her front legs. Vazquez also created shoes for Angel, specially designed to keep her fetlock aligned and her front hooves from tipping up. The shoes were made from wooden splints and helped her bones align correctly.

RANCH HISTORY Schools

Lillian Rice was the first supervising architect for Rancho Santa Fe, the first member of the Art Jury and served on the Rancho Santa Fe School Board.

She designed most of the commercial buildings in the Ranch and more than 50 estate residences before her death in 1938.

Pictured below is a photo of the first school building and her rendering of the Rancho Santa Fe School group.

The Rancho Santa Fe School Group buildings were designed by Lilian Rice, a strong advocate for education. The ensemble of church-like buildings stretched the length of Paseo Delicias from Avenida Acacias to La Granada. Rice was, among many roles, on the school board and directed their planning. Unfortunately, only the north half of this rendering was ever built. In the beginning, the school attempted to provide education for grades one through eight, but was later reduced to grades one through six. When the children reached these grades, they were sent off the ranch to Oceanside or Escondido High School or the newly constructed San Dieguito High School in Encinitas, which Rice also designed.

The first school building was modeled after a pueblo architectural style and was the least ornamental of Rice’s renderings. It housed a total of 10 students for all eight grades. The first graduate was Ivy Fidero in 1924. Even though the more monumental part of the school group was never built, the school grounds were used for outdoor recreation, pageantry and events.

New designs hoped to make passing trains less noisy

By Bianca Kaplanek

Plans to reduce horn noise from trains as they pass through Del Mar made significant progress Aug. 2 after City Council authorized the necessary steps to move the project into the design phase.

After researching a variety of ways to decrease the noise level at the city’s only crossing on Coast Boulevard, a committee of residents determined an automated wayside horn system would be the most economically feasible solution.

Permanent directional horns strategically mounted at the crossing will provide an audible warning to motorists and pedestrians that a train is approaching.

The sound mimics a train horn and stops once the train enters the crossing.

The noise, which complies with federal regulations, is more consistent and not as long or loud as when a conductor sounds the train horn.

With help from Quiet Zone Technologies, a company that provides safe and quiet alternatives to train horns, the committee tested the system at the crossing on April 22. No negative input was received.

The group then sought and received council approval to move the project forward with the understanding that no city funds could be used. At the time, Quiet Zone Technologies told the committee it would cost about $160,000.

But the North County Transit District, which will install and maintain the stationary horn system, gave a preliminary estimate of $276,770, an amount that includes a 30 percent contingency of $63,880.

NCTD officials said the contingency was initially set high because this is the first wayside horn system to be installed. They told committee members a more firm estimate would be available

once the design is complete.

“They intimated to us the cost can only come down,” committee leader Hershell Price said.

The group has raised all but $48 of the $17,548 needed for the design, which is expected to take between four and six months to complete. In addition to design and installation, the committee will be required to fund ongoing maintenance, which has been estimated at $3,000 to $5,000 per year.

“I haven’t seen those figures,” Price said. “There may be little or no maintenance.”

NCTD said it may eventually be able to absorb the maintenance costs.

The group must also cover city attorney fees to draw up and review all necessary legal documents. Leslie Devaney said it could take 15 to 25 hours to create the three required forms, for a cost of $4,000 to $6,000.

“I haven’t seen any paperwork on this so I’m just

giving you my best shot this evening,” Devaney said at the Aug. 2 meeting.

Price said he expected the committee would be required to pay the legal fees, but he was surprised at the amount.

The construction agreement, which would be the final document, would likely be the most time-consuming and costly. Some council members suggested fronting the committee the money for the first two documents so the project could move forward until council meets next on Sept. 13.

“I want to remind everybody that when we started down this road ... we wanted to support this and be involved and help with this as long as there was no cost to the city — period,” Mayor Richard Earnest said.

“Now all of a sudden we’re being asked to participate in a financial way and that was never part of the equation,” he said. “So while

I enthusiastically want to support this thing, we can’t go down that slippery slope or pretty soon we’re going to be paying for a lot more than we ever intended to pay and can’t afford.

“I don’t mind doing seed money to begin the legal process,” he said. “But where the rest of it’s coming from I don’t know.”

To help keep legal costs down, Price offered to create the initial donor form and within days had a draft copy for Devaney to review.

“I want to do everything I can so that we can get this project completed as soon as possible,” Price said. “It was easy to raise the $17,500.

Another $260,000 — that’s when the hard work starts.”

If the group can’t raise enough money to fund the project, none of the money used to pay for the design will be refunded. Donors will be required to sign a form stating they understand that risk.

Students to produce a benefit concert Fifteen North County high school students are on a mission to make a wish come true. Students from La Jolla Country Day, La Jolla High School and Westview High have come together to join forces and plan a musical celebration titled the Concert For Wishes, a benefit concert for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego.

The Aug. 14 event will be held at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theater of the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive. It will be emceed by CW6 Anchor Marc Bailey with a special appearance by musician Jessie. Other musical guests include Parker Ainsworth, Regime, Wil Reed and Tom Grote, The Nate Jarrell Quartet, Todd Lineback and Chris Sexton. For tickets, call (858) 362-1348 or visit http://tickets.lfjcc.org.

“Our goal is to raise enough to send a child with a life threatening illness on a Disney vacation,” said Matthew Friedman, a senior at La Jolla Country Day School.

Amid demanding academic pressures and required extracurricular activities, these selfless students have made time in their busy schedules to contact some of San Diego’s best local talent in hopes of raising at least $7,000 to donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego; ensuring a child who is battling a life-threatening medical condition is able to go on a dream Disney vacation.

With some luck, Friedman was able to reach the Feeding the Soul Foundation, an organization that brings community together in creative generosity. The foundation promotes local artists, foundations and businesses that make a positive difference by creating events that draw attention and opportunity to their talents and intents.

Feeding the Soul was able to provide the students the musical talent they had been seeking.

The goal is to have a sellout performance to reflect the efforts that these students have dedicated to making a brave child’s greatest dream come true.

Not only have these students devoted their time to locating talent and a worthy venue, but they have also taken it upon themselves to reach out to corporate sponsors and companies to donate items for an accompanying silent auction.

If you’re going to dream, your dream better be bigger than life; at least that’s the philosophy of high school senior Matthew Friedman, whether he realizes it or not. Music has always been a passion of his; TURN TO CONCERT ON B10

Volunteers still needed Locals head back to Kenya to build success for advisory boards

By Bianca Kaplanek

City Council named six residents to three advisory committees at the July 26 meeting, filling only about half of the existing vacancies.

For a variety of reasons, other positions are now open, basically putting council back where it started from, seeking volunteers for 10 vacancies on six committees.

There were three applicants for three openings on the San Dieguito Lagoon Preservation Committee.

Bill Michalsky, Alice Brown and Bob Blanchard were named to four-year terms, making that committee and the Planning Commission the only two without vacancies.

Karen Lockwood, a Del Mar resident since 1966, was appointed to a four-year term on the Parks and Recreation Committee. One volunteer is still needed for that group, which was expanded from five members to seven in June.

In 2008, a year rife with recession, rising unemployment and innumerable foreclosures, Cory Glazier of Vista did the unthinkable: he started a nonprofit. Glazier trusted in America’s charitable giving and created a Sustainable and Comprehensive Humanitarian Assistance Planning, or SCHAP, model.

Like many bright-eyed, Western college graduates, Glazier traveled to Africa and upon arriving in Matoso, Kenya, he was struck by the intense poverty.

From here the creative wheels were set in motion and Glazier codified his approach to sustainable humanitarian assistance in the form of SCHAP. Glazier maintains that, “it’s more than just the name of our organization but it’s the name of a new humanitarian ideology: humanitarian work that revolves around sustainable and comprehensive solutions as opposed to just giveaways. And assistance and planning are the most critical components because it’s not about us just bringing in a cash donation or food. It’s relatively easy to be able to drop ship some corn or some clothes or some books. But in order to be able to create lasting, stable changes, you have to get your hands dirty; you have to wrap your mind and your heart around the concepts that are affecting the

In the long term, the composting will continue to offer more stable farming conditions; the land-fills will keep their community clean for another hundred years; and the micro loans were used to purchase boats for a fishing company to make a profit whilst serving as a stable food source to the hungry masses.

After raising the necessary funds and carefully planning with Matoso’s leaders, four SCHAP team members traveled to Kenya where they spent the next few weeks addressing Matoso’s problem areas through a comprehensive multi-tiered scheme.

They built a community center equipped with donated computers run by solar panels, promoted health education, instituted a waste management system including

community receptacles, land fills and composting pits, and established a micro-loan program.

The Magnificent 7 now at Thornton Winery FRANK MANGIO

Taste of Wine Success in any endeavor these days, no matter what the product or service, is measured by a number of different yardsticks. Image means a lot in any enterprise, but in the wine world, product is first and foremost.

In the Temecula Valley, Thornton Winery’s 22 years making acclaimed wine seems a lifetime compared to the recent flurry of new wineries that have come on board or have aspirations. A recent drive-thru revealed six colorful “coming soon” vineyard and winery signs.

In 1988, a prominent San Diego family, John, Sally and son Steve Thornton, made the decision to purchase an existing winery and opened Thornton Winery at the gateway to the Temecula Valley.

They concentrated on award-winning and premium varietal wines. Using a process called Methode

Champenoise to make sparkling wine/champagne, the awards and medals quickly followed, in a burst of fame from this traditional French method of production.

Their Brut Reserve is considered one of the finest classically made Methode Champenoise in the country.

This varietal got so much of a reputation that for a while, Thornton was considered a “one trick pony,” a winery that was known for this one style of wine. No more.

Under Steve Thornton’s direction, the winery smartly diversified into the French RhoneItalian style that has uncorked a magnificent seven new releases, mostly 2007 vintage wines. They are: 1. 2008 Viognier for $28.

My favorite white. Floral notes with a tropical underbelly of coconut and tangerine.

2. 2007 Thorny’s Coast Red for $18. What’s a complex wine like this doing with a value price like that? A blend of nine vineyards with a combination of Syrah, Grenache, Barbera and Sangiovese.

3. 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon for $30. Native grapes

with Zinfandel. Balanced flavors and lowered alcohol. A “delicate monster,” raves the winery.

6. 2007 Nebbiolo for $34.

My personal favorite of the seven. The grape backbone for the famous Italian twin towers: Barolo and Barbaresco. Rich, visceral red fruit and mocha on the palate.

A sell-out every year.

7. 2007 Estate Petite Sirah for $40. Complex and big, color and structure reaches new heights. California style wine, grown on the property.

So there it is, a five-star lineup of new, exciting wines from the proven cellars of Thornton. Other features to be familiar with are the wine clubs and their special pricing and benefits, and the Champagne Jazz and Supper Club Concerts that run every weekend through September.

RANCHO SANTA FE — The occurrence of several small fires within the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Prevention District within the last couple of months has fire officials asking for the public’s diligence when it comes to fire prevention.

While the fires do not all appear to be related, they do serve as a reminder that attentiveness is important during fire season.

The first two incidents were grass fires. One happened May 24, burning 1.5 acres near Lake Drive and Ash Lane in the Del Dios area. The other occurred June 29 in a vacant lot along Artesian Road, just outside the community of 4S Ranch, and burned 2.2 acres. The third fire, which took place July 1, charred a small area of vegetation along the 9700 block of Del Dios Highway.

The most recent incident, which involved an outbuilding near Albert Avenue and Camino San Thomas in 4S Ranch, happened on July 14. None of the incidents resulted in any injuries.

Realtor selected for Balboa sale

By Bianca Kaplanek

Going once. Going twice.

The contract to sell a piece of city-owned property by auction went to Del Mar resident Steve Uhlir of SURE Real Estate Group during the Aug. 2 City Council meeting.

SURE was one of eight firms to submit bids following a July 16 request for proposal to sell a 22,215gross-square-foot panhandleshaped lot at 2160 Balboa Ave. Companies were evaluated on their approach to marketing the property, technical competence, experience with high-end properties, past performance and cost.

Staff narrowed the choice to three vendors — Bob Angello of Willis Allen Real Estate, San Diego’s Finest Real Estate and SURE. “Ultimately, the review team selected Steve Uhlir

SURE Real Estate Group based upon his firm’s specialty in marketing properties for auction,” the staff reports states.

“We’re very excited,” Uhlir said. “We feel it’s in our wheelhouse. That’s our niche.”

Uhlir said he began receiving inquiries about the auction within days of being awarded the contract. “I think there will be strong demand for it,” he said.

“Finding a buildable view lot in Del Mar is like finding a needle in a haystack.”

The lot, currently vacant and zoned for residential use, offers ocean or mountain views from any direction.

The city is seeking to sell the site and use the proceeds to retire the debt on a 5.3-acre lot known as the Shores property it bought from the Del Mar Union School District for $8.5 mil-

lion in 2008. A balloon payment of about $3.245 million is due Nov. 13, 2011.The principal balance payoff as of July 1 is $3.480 million, according to a chart on the city website.

City officials hope the Balboa sale will net enough money to pay off the Shores debt and provide some funding to replace the aging 17th Street safety center, a $2.7 million to $3 million project.

The city attorney recommended selling the Balboa property by auction. It is tentatively scheduled for noon on Sept. 22, possibly at Powerhouse Community Center.

Uhlir said auctions normally take place on site, but because the lot is on a cul-desac, it may not accommodate the expected crowd. Uhlir said a September auction TURN TO BALBOA ON B10

Candles are lit inside bags bearing the person’s name.

Throughout the event, teams take turns walking around the track, with at least one team member in motion at all times.

Last year 176 participants on 21 teams raised

nearly $16,000. At press time, 25 participants on 9 teams had pledged $2,300.

“It’s a time and an opportunity for our community to come together and share their emotions, share their feelings,” David Carroll, president of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, said.

“We have such a wonderful, special community here,” he said. “I hope that it touches the hearts of each and every one of us who have experienced cancer in our lives because this is an opportunity for us to stand up and say, ‘I will fight back.’”

Outlet shopping secrets By the Editors of Consumer Reports

Even if you’re usually a really smart shopper, it’s easy to go overboard at the outlet mall. There are so many stores, so many temptations, and everything is a great deal — right?

To find out when it really pays to shop the outlets, ShopSmart, the shopping magazine published by Consumer Reports, had its secret shoppers buy the same items in the designer’s retail store, in a department store, and at the outlets.The results: some big variations in price.

The outlets often save you lots of money — more than 70 percent in some cases!

But remember that outlets don’t always have the best selection of sizes and colors. If you see an item you love in a boutique or department store, you might be smart to snap it up. And if you have a coupon or tap a great sale, you might be able to get a better deal at a retail store. For instance, ShopSmart found a Juicy Couture shirt on sale at a Juicy Couture store for $89.

That’s 29 percent cheaper than the shirt its shoppers bought at the Juicy Couture outlet. And that’s not taking

into account the gas and tolls you’ll need to pay for to get to the outlet.

“The trick to outlet shopping is knowing how to spot the best deals — and knowing when to leave something on the rack,” said Lisa Lee Freeman, editor-in-chief of ShopSmart. “So we did the legwork for you, sending out secret shoppers to see how the prices compared.”

Smart Outlet Shopping Tips

Before you go: 1. Have a plan of attack.

Check the outlet mall’s website for maps, printable coupons and special promotions.

It will be a live auction subject to seller confirmation, meaning the city can decline all bids if its desired minimum offer is not submitted. Uhlir said by choice he hasn’t asked for the appraised value of the lot. He also wasn’t yet sure what the starting minimum bid would be.

“People who are serious can read between the lines,” he said, adding that using comparable sales in the area wasn’t an appropriate way to determine where the bids should start.

“The truth is, there are no comps,” he said.

Del Mar purchased the Shores lot, located on the southwest corner of Camino del Mar and Ninth Street, because it is a rare piece of open space in the city. A citizens group raised more than $5 million for a down payment, but donations have dropped off significantly since then.

The city negotiated a

short-term bank loan to avoid high payments to the school district. The current 2 percent interest rate expires in November.

Friends of Del Mar Parks initially made the approximately $75,000 quarterly payments and is still holding events to raise money and awareness, but the group is no longer advancing funds to the city, Barbara Mandel Pache, the campaign coordinator, said.

For the fiscal year that ended this past June 30, Friends of Del Mar Parks gave the city $108,000, which includes $35,000 forwarded in January. The group doesn’t have enough to cover a full payment so the city has been using money from the open space fund.

“We continue to be dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the park,” Mandel Pache said,adding that money will be needed for park development and improvements once the debt is retired.

The city bought the Balboa lot from Del Mar Utilities in 1965 for $250,392. At the

time,it housed a pressure treatment plant and cement water reservoir tank. Eventually deemed obsolete, the plant and tank were demolished in 1992.

At the Aug. 2 meeting, council members also authorized the use of $36,000 from the open space fund. Of that, $20,000 will go to SURE for marketing and consulting services. The remaining $16,000 will be used for a preliminary title report and property survey which must be done in advance. Both are not-toexceed figures.

Council members previously approved the $20,000 marketing fee and had hoped to pay that after the sale. But all eight proposals expected payment for their marketing efforts prior to and not contingent on the sale, City Manager Karen Brust said.

A 10 percent buyer’s premium will be added to all top bids. At the close of escrow, SURE will rebate half of that so the city is guaranteed to receive 105 percent of the accepted top bid, according to the staff report.

Riding Club still going strong after more than six decades

By Patty McCormac

RANCHO SANTA FE — In 1945, a group of friends and neighbors were invited to the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club to celebrate the birthday of Hollywood director John Robertson, at a party given by his wife Jo. Food was still being rationed because of World War II, so no one turned down an invitation to din-

ner at the time. The guests soon learned that Robertson, who had been a resident since 1928, had another motive for bringing them together other than for a birthday celebration.

He had planned to see who was interested in starting a riding club. Robertson said that after dinner, he called for attention by rap-

ping against a water glass.

“I just want to ask you one question. Do you want a riding club?”

Connie Clotfelter wrote in her 1985 book “Echoes of Rancho Santa Fe.” “It was unanimous,” she said. “Hands and voices all indicated a willingness to work together.”

Clotfelter’s book said that the first meetings of

the club were held at the golf club where they had barbecues, moonlight rides, costume parties and breakfasts to raise money.

The fundraisers attracted so many people that organizers began to look into finding a permanent home for the club. In 1946, the riding club acquired 10 acres on Rambla Del Las Flores from the Santa Fe

Irrigation District. Club members cleared and prepared the land, Clotfelter’s book said.

“They did it themselves,” Clotfelter said.

“They cut down eucalyptus trees and dragged them over to make fences and jumps.”

“Robertson was at the club daily and often found several young riders cutting

loose on their horses, attempting to copy what they’d seen on Westerns,” Clotfelter wrote. “He would read the riot act to these roping, jumping young things so often that he thought it would be a good idea to have a resident trainer at the stables.

Realtor gathers stats on Cover bands at end-of-summer bash countywide home sales Rick Unger of Keller Williams Realty has compiled the monthly real estate update for San Diego County. Unger explained that the data does not apply to any other area and is a macro picture for local conditions.

Detached homes: There are currently 8,132 homes on the market as compared to 7,669 a month ago and 7,057 on June 1. This is an approximate increase in available properties of 15 percent over the last 60 days. There were 1,645 new escrows that opened in July as compared to 1,802 in June and 1,677 in May. Unger believes the most accurate indicator of a real estate market’s health is the turnover time, meaning how long will it take to sell the entire current inventory at current sales rates.There are now 4.9 months of supply versus 4.3 last month. In addition to the 1,645 units that went into escrow (some equity sales, some short sales that received approvals) another 2,345 units went “contingent” (short sales that accepted an offer but

need to wait for the lenders to approve).

Combining these two numbers means that 3,990 detached homes went off the market in July of the total 8,132 that were available.

This shows us a 2.04 month supply overall which is still in the seller’s favor.

Attached homes: There are now 3,916 detached units on the market as compared to 3,640 last month and 3,360 two months ago, about a 20 percent increase during the last 60 days. Eight hundred and fifty-eight new escrows opened in July versus 875 in June and 876 in May. Using only the pending sales as a measurement, there are 4.6 months of supply, a neutral range.

During July, another 1,771 homes went “contingent” as compared to 1,892 the month prior. Combining the new pendings and new contingents shows that 2,629 detached units went off the market to buyers in July.

Dividing this into the 3,916 units on the market shows us 1.49 months of inventory and TURN TO SALES ON B12

Natural meats now at Carlsbad Village Farmers Market Carlsbad Village Farmers Market will now carry grassfed, free-range meat at its Saturday market, with SonRise Ranch meats as its newest vendor.

SonRise Ranch farms 43 acres in Monterey County’s Carmel Valley just north of Big Sur. SonRise Ranch uses ranching methods in which the cows, pigs and chickens are raised in a rotational micro-ecosystem. This system demands very little from the environment and produces naturally raised meats.

Carlsbad Village Farmers Market is in the public parking lot at 2930 Roosevelt St. between Carlsbad Village Drive and Grand Avenue. The markets run every

Wednesday and Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m.

Producing the natural meat starts with California sun and fresh water pumped from wells to irrigate the native grass pastures.

The ranch uses no pesticides on the grass. Instead the chickens roam free to feed on the bugs that eat the grass during the day.

At night, the chickens stay in portable chicken tractors (a type of coop) to protect them from predators.

These tractors are rotated around the farm so that the chicken waste is dispersed to add nutritional value to the ground. This natural fertilizer helps the native pastures grow healthy grass, which they then feed to the cows.

SonRise cows feed mostly on this pasture grass, sometimes hay, but never corn.

Cows who feed on grass produce a rich milk in large quantities, far more than their calves can drink.

The excess milk is then fed to the pigs, who also live in the pastures where they root around and till the land where the grass grows.

The milk-fed pork, raised humanely in open spaces, are also fed pre-consumer waste (like cut produce leftovers from restaurants).

None of the animals are given antibiotics that would interfere with their natural growth and the entire rotational micro-ecosystem is codependent on the earth, the sky and the natural habits of

these animals. As a result, humanely raised, free-range, natural meat is grown.

SonRise Ranch is increasing awareness and recognition of grass-fed and free-range products by bringing their natural meats to local farmers markets.

Carlsbad Village Farmers Markets has added SonRise Ranch meats.

As customer demand increases, SonRise plans to expand into the Wednesday market as well.

in many cancers of those living within 300 meters of power lines. “Despite being a class 1B carcinogen, they are still building schools and houses on cheap land under power lines,” his notes read.

He would have made the argument that if we post the addresses of sexual predators, then why can’t the location of concealed or stealth cell tower antennaes also be posted.

Harper is a proponent of the need to develop safe neighborhoods for chemically sensitive and EMF-sensitive individuals like Michael Schwaebe by burying powerlines, having no wi-fi in a minimum of a half-mile radius, and no cell towers or pesticides or herbicides sprays in the area.

Finally, Harper would have made an argument that the EMF radiation controversy should actually be a state’s rights issue.

“Even though the FCC has said to ignore the potential health risks to humans and have a 150-day limit on the request to locate their wireless units, you are the wall of protection,” he wrote in his comments to City Council. “This is a federation of states with the states regulating the insurance, medical, dental and mortuary industries.The sheriff of this county has more rights of executive power than the FBI since the sheriff is elected and accountable to the voters.”

Who is Dr. Dan Harper?

He graduated magna cum laud from Baylor College of Medicine, which today ranks No. 13 in research behind Stanford and before UCLA according to www.MedSchool100.com.

He is board certified in holistic medicine and family medicine; and board eligible in emergency medicine with more than 35,000 hours of ER experience.

Before moving to San Diego five years ago he was licensed in Oregon, Wyoming, Montana and Texas.

Currently he’s licensed in California and Arizona.

It was changes he noticed in his own system and in his patients in his Solana Beach medical practice that prompted him to investigate environmental factors that impact health here on the coast.

“I did not have problems in Montana since no cell phone towers were there at the time,” he said. “I got here and things were blazin’ hot and people were ill due to the EMFs.There was catatonic schizophrenia, depression, autism, arrhythmias of heart, seizures — all related to EMF exposure. I hit pubmed.com (National Institutes of Health research website) and the Internet to find out why.”

He also took several courses on EMFs offered through the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and studied under Dr. William J. Rea, who is considered one of the fathers of environmental medicine.

Harper learned that San Diego is the second-highest radiated city in the nation, behind Washington, D.C. “There is 10 million

AUG. 13, 2010

RANCHO SANTA FE NEWS times the background radiation in San Diego compared to 1970,” he said.

“It is caused by technology such as cell towers and high-powered transformer lines; military telecommunications; Doppler radar and sonograms shot into earthquake faults,” he said. “It is also generated by wi-fi communications for computers and games, SDG&E smart meters and transformers on poles and on the ground of local neighborhoods (camouflaged) as green boxes.”

Harper warns that he belives EMF radiation even interferes with meditation at the Self Realization Fellowship.

Ultimately, he says this is leading to a generation of older Americans with presenile dementia being cared for by a younger generation with a disproportionate amount of brain cancer.

Beyond our own world, he warns that extremely low frequency, or ELF, radiation used to communicate with submarines is impacting ocean life.

“They interfere with the vestibular apparatus of the brains of the whales,” Harper said. “It messes up their navigation and seems to impair cognition.”

Frustrated, Dr. Harper walked out of the council meeting on July 21 after a woman representing the wireless industry said she had no closing remarks except to say that the city of Encinitas had no legal leg to stand on.

“My heart sank as I saw big business once again put the FCC knife to the throats of the City Council and tell them they would have to sit and watch as they raped and ravaged the community and there was nothing they could do,” he said. “Every citizen is being blasted at a cellular level by this radiation. It may take two or three decades to manifest the cancer or dementia, but it is adversely affecting us all.”

He said that 3 percent of the population is severely and rapidly affected with symptoms such as headaches, confusion, tachycardia, anxiety, skin burning and hives.

“Sixteen percent will only feel the fatigue, insomnia, ‘brain farts’ and memory issues, and the other 81 percent will look at that 19 percent and recommend a good psychiatrist until 30 or 40 years down the road (medical) articles will begin to report that cell phones and wi-fi are more dangerous than cigarettes, asbestos and leaded gasoline put together,” he said.

After members of the Encinitas City Council explained that they had no choice but to deny the appeal, for fear of losing money in legal bills in a futile battle with the federal government, Deputy Mayor Maggie Houlihan called on citizens to write their congressmen and senators to demand that Article 704 be repealed.

The Coast News contacted Rep. Brian Bilbray and his opponent Francine Busby to ask if they would lead such a movement to repeal Article 704. To date, neither had responded.

“We’re seeing a lot of families and a lot of parental involvement,” he

said.

He said that many times parents come to watch their child ride and then get involved themselves.

“Once it’s in your blood, it’s in your blood,” Milligan said.

He said one of the best parts of his job is seeing children get on a horse for the first time and then a short time later the child being ready to seriously compete.

“It’s fun to watch,” he said with a huge smile.

The club is known for its annual horse show generally held in usually held in May and is its major fundraiser. They have a social events for members frequently.

John Robertson would be proud. After his death at age 86, an obituary on Nov. 15, 1964, in the Rancho Santa Fe Times, said that Robertson was sure that if children grew up with horses and were taught to respect and properly care for them, their lives would be fuller and happier.

considering only the new escrows opened. But it is in a fairly strong range when the new contingent sales (some of which will close, some won’t) are included.

Of the 12,048 total detached and attached homes now on the market the MLS indicates that 2,339

are short sales and 955 are bank-owned properties.

Because about 25 percent of the inventory is distressed currently, Urich believes it fair to say that the number of bank-owned properties is down, as lenders try to do short sales instead but that any seller who is serious

about selling must still price their property to compete with the best distressed properties.

The highest priced short sale now on the market is an ocean view home in La Jolla that was originally offered at $14,900,000 but is now down to $8,500,000.

Now 65 years later, the Rancho Santa Fe Riding Club is still going strong with 140 members and its stables filled with 110 horses, which are boarded there.

“We have room for more members, but not more horses. We’re full up,” said Bill Milligan, who has managed the club for the past 17 years.

The byword of the club has always been “family.”

BIG NATE by Lincoln Peirce

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Once you establish a definite objective, you won’t have any trouble coming up with a profusion of ideas as to how to achieve it. Your mental faculties will be sharper than usual.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Not only are you likely to have the ability to generate larger or extra earnings, you’ll have the wisdom to handle these funds wisely. Do your stuff and grow as much as you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Don’t negate your own success by delegating to others assignments you’re far more capable of handling yourself. There are certain things that should not be left up to others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - If your ears are tingling, it is likely because of all the nice things others are saying about you. When people with whom you’re closely involved tell you about it, act surprised.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Just because certain associates feel your present desires are a bit outlandish, don’t lower your expectations or discard your dreams. What they are capable of is far different from what you can do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -

Take enjoyment in all that you do and you will find that everything will go more smoothly for you, even those tasks that are of a serious nature. It’s good advice to whistle while you work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You have a natural knack for understanding the complicated ideas of others and determining their worth. Put to work the suggestions you find worthy.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Dame Fortune is likely to put you in the right spot to benefit from something you had no hand in originating, but whether or not you’ll take advantage of it will be up to how well you read the situation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Your cooperative spirit is the secret to your success, and by taking the trouble to set a good example, everyone you encounter will respond in kind and even try to outdo you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Take some time to express your creative and artistic urges, and all that you do will not only please you, but also impress everyone else who witnesses your work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Enjoy what each of your friends has to offer, untainted by financial strings. If you want to simply have a pleasant experience with some of your pals, stay away from anything commercial.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Once you overcome your fears and beard the lion in his den, several matters that have been difficult to finalize will work out quite smoothly. It’s amazing what a little faith will do.
