Foundation readies for Halloween By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — For decades, the Halloween Carnival at R. Roger Rowe School has been a staple and an event many children look forward to. Yet again, the RSF Education Foundation is hosting an incredible event not to be missed. And it’s a venue where the kids can fashion their costume picks of the year. The Halloween Parade and Carnival will kick off a little after noontime Oct. 31. First on the fun agenda is a Halloween parade, where everyone can cheer on the kids while they pad through the Village. Once done, the other slice of fun begins at the Carnival. Halloween Carnival co-chair, Jennifer Levine, said this Carnival is to support and celebrate the holiday for the children. Other co-chairs include Jan Castonguay and Nina Kottler.

RANCHO SANTA FE — At the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, James C. Clad, the former U.S. Deputy Assistant of Secretary Defense and current international energy consultant, spoke to the San Diego Committee on Foreign Relations. Following the Oct. 15 dinner, Clad approached the podium and addressed a well-attended crowd. Clad’s main topic of focus was on shale energy and how it’s perceived to afford the U.S. with economic benefits.

Also known as hydraulic fracturing, fracking is the method of removing natural gas within shale rock. Fracking has entered a manufacturing renaissance era, since attempts in the past were moot because shale rock lies deep in the earth, and was unattainable. New technology has now unleashed fracking. “Fracking is here to stay,” said Clad.
