Chicken debate roils Fairbanks Ranch

BY JOE TASH Feathers are flying in Fairbanks Ranch over the issue of whether residents of the exclusive gated community should be allowed to keep chickens as pets and as a source of fresh eggs in their backyards. On one side are a group of residents including former model Kelly Emberg, who has a home-built coop and screened-in chicken run in her backyard, and on the other are those who are concerned the birds will be noisy, generate odors and attract coyotes. In late January, the Board of Directors of the Fairbanks Ranch Homeowners Association, which encompasses more than 600 homes, deadlocked 2-2 on a motion to allow
chickens with some restrictions. Revisiting the issue at a special meeting on Feb. 4, the board instead decided to stick with an existing general ban on poultry, while agreeing to consider exemptions on a case-by-case basis. “I think it should be fine,” said Emberg, who has owned her 11 hens for about two years. “I hope that’s the end of it.” The issue generated strong passions on both sides. Jerry McDonald, general manager of the Fairbanks Ranch Association, said there is a large group of residents on each side of the issue. At the January meeting, as many as 100 people turned out, about four or five times SEE CHICKENS, A29

BY KRISTINA HOUCK According to a recent poll, a majority of voters would narrowly approve a general obligation bond for the Solana Beach School District, if the district moves forward with such a measure. The district includes Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe. Of the 300 people surveyed, nearly 59 percent said they would definitely or probably vote in favor of a general obligation bond on the ballot. Although nearly 30 percent said they would definitely or probably vote against a general obligation bond, almost11 percent said they were not sure. The district would need 55 percent approval to pass a bond measure. “We see a group that’s not sure,” Superintendent Terry Decker said. “That’s certainly an opportunity for us to give some information and help inform those people about what it is we’re working on.” The poll is the district’s latest step in exploring whether to place a general obligation bond on the ballot. The poll helped the district gather information about the community, identify community priorities and determine if a bond is feasible, Decker explained. “No set decision has been made at this point,” he said. “This was all part of our work to determine what we think might be possible, or what the options are for us.” SEE SCHOOL, A28

RSF resident’s dog competes at Westminster Dog Show BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe champion competed against the top dogs the Westminster Kennel Club’s 140th Dog Show on Feb. 15-16. The plucky, fluffy and affable Affenpinscher Tamarin True Grit, also known to owner Shannon Biszantz at home as Dillon, was invited to New York as one of the top six dogs in his breed in the country. “I feel honored that I was even invited to get to sit at the table with the best of the best and that is the biggest reward there is,” Biszantz said. On Monday, Feb. 15, Dillon competed in the
A
Affenpinscher group. From there, the top dog of the six moved on to compete in the toy dog group on national television. (Yarrow H-Tech Drills and Skills won the Affenpinscher group Feb. 15. Dillon won an award of merit from the judges.) Dillon is “shaggy but neat,” small yet sturdy. He loves to chase golf balls, he loves to ride around on the golf cart while Biszantz plays at Morgan Run Club & Resort and he loves to go for walks and see his “girlfriends”— a few fluffy white Bichon Frises and a Coton de Tulear that live on his street.

Mille Fleurs cuts back on lunch service due to lack of parking
Auerbach nominated to National Society of High School Scholars
BY KAREN BILLING Due to the persisting parking problems in the village, Mille Fleurs will close for lunch two of the four days of the week the restaurant has been open for lunch. Owner Bertrand Hug, who has run the restaurant for the last 30 years in Rancho Santa Fe, said he is fed up. “I’m closing for lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday because there is absolutely no business,” said a frustrated Hug. “Nobody can park in the village.” Hug said he is frustrated by the lack of movement on a solution proposed last summer after a meeting with village merchants and representatives from the Rancho Santa Fe Association, Rancho Santa Fe Patrol, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol. In August, the RSF Association board approved 42 new two-hour timed spaces in the village and forwarded its request to the county. The green curbs were slated for high priority areas along Avenida de Acacias, 19 spaces in front of Thyme in the Ranch, Mille Fleurs and Union Bank, 15 spaces on La Granada, and an additional eight spaces on the stretch of La Granada near John Matty Co. and Rancho Santa Fe Flowers & Gifts. “Nothing has happened,” Hug said of the project. “There’s no parking on the street. Zero.” Hug said he had been used to serving 70 to 80 lunches on weekdays but now he is down to a “measly” 10 to 20. He said it is upsetting to him to close and he feels bad that the “ridiculous” parking situation is affecting business not just for himself but for the rest of the village merchants. Hug said he would like to see more parking created as promised and that enforcement on existing timed spaces be stepped up. RSF Association Manager Bill Overton said the Association is working on the issue. “The parking issue continues to be a priority for the Association and Village Revitalization Committee. It is a very complex matter that is taking time to research, strategize and resolve. We will meet soon with staff, consultants and representatives from the county to address our village parking challenges,” Overton said. “We are certainly concerned with any negative impact that Rancho Santa Fe’s historic parking challenges may have on village businesses, and we are working hard to find a long-term solution.” The restaurant remains open for lunch on Thursdays and Fridays, 11:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Dinner is served seven days a week.

Penniman happy to return to role as president of fair board
BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the Breeders’ Cup headed to Del Mar and plans for other projects, the future looks bright for the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “One of my personal goals from way back when was getting the Breeders’ Cup here,” said Russ Penniman, board president of the 22nd District Agricultural Association. “It’s the Super Bowl of horse racing.” Now that the Breeders’ Cup is a year away, it’s an exciting time for Penniman to serve as president of the 22nd DAA, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds. Penniman was appointed board president in January. In preparation for the two-day event, Penniman attended the last two Breeders’ Cups at Santa Anita Park in 2014 and Keeneland in 2015. “I think we are going to be very competitive,” Penniman said. “San Diego is a destination.” The San Diego region might be a tourist destination, but Penniman has helped make the Del Mar Fairgrounds, specifically, a popular attraction since he was appointed to the board in 2003. And that is a challenge in the horse racing industry. At one point, the Del Mar racetrack was one of several options for horse racing throughout the state. Inglewood’s Hollywood Park Racetrack closed in 2013, however, and Pomona’s Fairplex horse racing was moved to Los Alamitos Racetrack in 2014. But the Del Mar Fairgrounds isn’t just horse racing. It’s home to the the San Diego County Fair and other events throughout the year.
“We try to make it an experience that’s more than just horse racing,” Penniman said. Attendance at last year’s San Diego County Fair was the second highest in the history of the annual event. The fair’s 25-day run, the longest ever by a day, attracted more than 1.5 million guests. “It makes us the largest fair in California,” Penniman said. Penniman also proudly pointed out that the Western Fairs Association recognized San Diego County Fair with 32 awards at the Western Fairs Association’s Convention and Trade Show in January in Anaheim. During the awards celebration, the 22nd DAA General Manager and CEO, Tim Fennell, was inducted into the Western Fairs Association’s Hall of Fame. The Western Fairs Association is a nonprofit trade association serving the fair industry in the western United States and Canada. “I think that speaks a lot to the quality of the operation that the group puts on,” Penniman said. “Tim has done a tremendous job.” The fair is an incredible draw, but horse racing remains an important focus of the Del Mar Fairgrounds. In 2014, Del Mar began hosting a second fall meet, in addition to its regular summer stand. The summer meet, Penniman said, is more social, particularly during the ever-popular Opening Day, while the fall meet attracts a more horse racing-centric crowd. “That’s a very nice season,” Penniman said. Penniman applied for the board partly due
KRISTINA HOUCK
Russ Penniman, board president of the 22nd District Agricultural Association. to his love of horses. His father was a Navy pilot and his stepfather was a professional horseman — and Penniman followed in both of their footsteps. A 1979 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Penniman was a naval aviator with more than 3,000 flight hours. After 15 years of active duty service, Penniman transitioned to the Navy Reserve in 1994. He last served as U.S. Pacific Fleet’s Reserve deputy commander, prior to his retirement in 2014, after 35 years in the Navy. Penniman, who has two adult children, is managing partner of Penniman & Associates, LLC, a financial services company. A Rancho Santa Fe resident, he was appointed to the 22nd DAA Board of Directors by former Gov. Gray Davis in 2003. This is his second stint
as board president. “This is a great facility,” Penniman said. “I didn’t have an appreciation for how significant this facility was before I came on the board.” Penniman has also served as chairman of the Del Mar National Horse Show since 2004. Additionally, he previously served as chairman of the State Race Track Authority and the State Race Track Leasing Commission. “Both my focus in the military and my focus here — it’s about mission and people,” Penniman said. “The mission here is just tremendous. There is so much going on here. “Although it’s work, it’s great fun to be a part of an organization that’s doing great things and doing them so well.”

Students shine experiencing ‘The Sparkle Effect’ Torrey Pines sophomore creates inclusive cheer team BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School cheerleader Juliette Dicken is the kind of teenager you can really root for. The big-hearted sophomore is responsible for starting “The Sparkle Effect” at her school this year, a cheerleading team that brings together students with and without disabilities. The team’s first performance took place during halftime at a Junior Varsity basketball game Jan. 19. “I really have a passion for working with people with special needs and I love cheer, I’ve been doing it for 10 years,” Juliette said. “I wanted to do something that includes both of the things that I love doing.” While cheering at the Pop Warner level, Juliette always admired the league’s Challenger Cheer program for individuals with special needs. In searching for a way to bring a similar experience to the high school level she found The Sparkle Effect, a nationwide program that started in Iowa in 2008, founded on the idea that “Inclusion is not so much an activity as it is a way of thinking.” There are over 150 teams in the country but Torrey Pines’ team is the first in San Diego and one of only three teams in California. In order to get The Sparkle Effect up and running at Torrey Pines, Juliette needed to get

the necessary approvals from the administration as well as a teacher to be the program’s advisor. She connected with physical education teacher Joy Kuemmerle at the advice of her counselor, Jayme Cambra. Juliette sent Kuemmerle a detailed Power Point presentation. “I chose to get involved because of Juliette,” said Kuemmerle. “Her maturity and her passion for launching this program was nothing I had ever come across from a student, ever. I have the privilege to help support a young woman who wants to do really good things for really good people.” The national Sparkle Effect program sent a trainer to run a half-day clinic to teach the
all-inclusive team,” Juliette said. “It’s fun because they all have such unique personalities and, a lot of the time, you don’t take the time to get to know kids with disabilities and be friends with them. It’s cool it to be on the team with the kids, to teach them, spend time with them and bond.” On game days, they meet up after school to go root for the home team and perform at Junior Varsity basketball match-ups. The Sparkle kids love doing the “Falcon Rock” and “Cardinal and White” cheers at half time and chanting “offense!” and “defense!” while sitting in the front row at games. “I know this is an amazing program because SEE CHEER, A28

Miracle inspires woman’s work with Miracle Babies BY KRISTINA HOUCK Miracle Babies has a special place in Tamara Lafarga-Joseph’s heart. She knows firsthand what it’s like to wish for a miracle. Her grandson was born at just 24 weeks. Max spent five months in the neonatal intensive-care unit, had several surgeries and 27 blood transfusions, and was on a myriad of medications. Today, he is a happy and healthy 13-year-old, whom Lafarga-Joseph lovingly calls “Miracle Max.” “It was probably one of the most traumatic, unanticipated type of experiences that just affects the entire family on so many levels — emotionally, physically and fiscally,” Lafarga-Joseph said. “I really gained an appreciation for what the baby goes through, what the families go through.” Max’s journey inspired Lafarga-Joseph to start working with Miracle Babies more than three years ago. The San Diego-based organization provides support and financial assistance to families with critically-ill newborns in the NICU. Lafarga-Joseph is a founding member of Miracle Circle, an auxiliary group that supports the work of Miracle Babies through fundraising, community outreach
and advocacy. “I’d do anything to help Miracle Babies,” said Lafarga-Joseph, who has resided in Rancho Santa Fe since 2004. She previously lived in La Jolla. Lafarga-Joseph has a long history of giving back to the community. Originally from Spain, Lafarga-Joseph came to the United States when she was 9 years old. She grew up in the Midwest and earned a bachelor’s degree in nutrition from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s in exercise physiology from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. In the 1990s, Lafarga-Joseph settled in San Diego, when she studied gerontological counseling at UC San Diego. For 20 years, she helped rehabilitate and train people, including professional athletes and Olympic stars such as basketball player Stacey Augmon, boxer Mike Tyson (Junior Olympics) and skier Tommy Moe. Specializing in hydrotherapy, she traveled the globe to speak on the topic. Lafarga-Joseph has also worked as a real estate investor and developer, paramedic, teacher and artist. Currently, she is focusing on her art. She works with a variety of mediums, from acrylics to ceramics.

Tamara Lafarga-Joseph “I’m in the renaissance of my life, I like to say,” she said with a laugh. “It’s the golden, wonderful years, where I have the time to focus on art and philanthropic work.” Lafarga-Joseph has donated much of her time and talents to philanthropy. After college, she taught health and nutrition for six months in Mexico. For two years, she also served as a health and nutrition missionary to the Mayan people in Guatemala, where she lived in a
mud hut with no electricity or water. She learned to speak K’iche’ or Quiché, a Maya language of Guatemala, and helped birth babies, immunize people, and teach others about nutrition and sanitation. More recently, Lafarga-Joseph has served on the board of the Foundation for Women and has served as an event chair and volunteer for the Moores Cancer Center, where she worked with terminal cancer patients. She has also coordinated events and supported Rancho Coastal Humane Society, St. Germaine Children’s Charity and Sharp HealthCare, among other local institutions and organizations. “I believe that we are here to

Sponsored by Stemcyte, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Breakfast will be served at 10:30 a.m., followed by the program with keynote speaker and CNN Senior Executive Producer Wendy Walker.

New General Manager/COO joins The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe The Bridges Club at Rancho Santa Fe recently announced the appointment of Lenny Fisher as General Manager/ COO. Fisher will be responsible for overseeing the operation of The Bridges Club, a world-class golf course and club. Prior to his appointment, Fisher served as General Manager of Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks. When he arrived at Sherwood, the club was in the process of transitioning from a developer-owned club to a member-owned club, just as The Bridges Club recently did. Throughout his eight years there, he coordinated numerous PGA events for the Tiger Woods Foundation. His attention to detail and leadership skills fortified Sherwood Country Club’s reputation as a world-class establishment. Before his successful tenure at Sherwood, Fisher served as General Manager for 15 years at the well-established Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. With 85 years of history and priceless stories that have been part of many books throughout the years, Hillcrest is among a small list of clubs with a quintessential brand in the Golf and Club industry.
As a graduate of the renowned Culinary Institute in Hyde Park New York, Fisher followed his passion in the food and beverage industry and began his career with the Hyatt Hotel Corp for six years. After valuable training with an industry leader, he moved to the Beverly Hilton as the Food and Beverage Director where he had the responsibility for overseeing the Governors Ball for the Academy Awards, The Golden Globes, Directors Guild and many Presidential and Dignitary visits over the years. Other experience included managing the complex of hotels at Universal and Managing Director for the historic Claremont Resort and Spa in Northern California. Of all the challenging ventures Fisher has experienced throughout his career he sees his new position at The Bridges Club as the most exciting and one of great compatibility for both him and the club. His proven expertise in his field will certainly influence his future success at The Bridges Club. Both Fisher and his wife, Nancy, are looking forward to relocating to the San Diego region. “We are excited to welcome Lenny to

This project, in partnership with the California Native Plant Society’s Invasive Plant Committee, Fairbanks Ranch Association and local homeowners, aims to remove non-native, invasive plants and reduce fire risk to the surrounding community. In October 2015, the project welcomed a 10-person volunteer crew from the American Conservation Experience (ACE) who helped remove giant reed, pampas grass and other invasive species over a
two-week period. The ACE is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing rewarding environmental service opportunities to youth aged 18–25 who are considering land management as a career path or potential course of study. It is through these types of strategic partnerships that the Conservancy has been able to help restore over 2,000 acres within the San Dieguito Watershed. This project will contribute to other large-scale restoration efforts both upstream and downstream of the project site, including San Pasqual Valley, Lake Hodges, Del Dios Gorge and the San Dieguito Lagoon.

Torrey Pines students stand up to hate BY KRISTINA HOUCK Three local high school students are standing up to hate, after participating in the Anti-Defamation League’s 18th annual Grosfeld Family National Youth Leadership Mission. Torrey Pines High School juniors Sophia Bond, Cole Chodorow and Sabrina Habchi joined more than 100 other teenagers Nov. 15-18 in Washington, D.C. to learn how to apply lessons learned from the Holocaust to their own lives and lead the fight against bigotry and hate at their schools and in their communities. “It was a really amazing program, honestly life changing,” said Sophia, 16. “When I came back, it was like I was looking at my high school through new eyes.” During the four-day trip, the National Youth Leadership Mission delegates spent time at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, where they learned about the persecution of Jews and other minorities during World War II. The students, who came from 132 high schools across the country, also examined contemporary issues of bigotry, extremism and genocide, and engaged in discussions about how they could play a part in fighting prejudice. Students shared their personal experiences with bullying and discrimination during breakout sessions. They also heard presentations from Holocaust survivors and a Rwandan Genocide survivor. “We learned to identify biases, bigotry and

It was just fun to get to know other
people outside of the bubble of San Diego.” With new insight on the issues, Sophia, Cole and Sabrina are now hoping to make an impact on their campus, where they have witnessed hate. “At my high school, there’s always slurs as jokes that people just toss aside,” Cole said. “You don’t really understand all the hatred
that is present on a high school campus,” Sophia added. “The little things that people say are brushed off. I’m now able to confront those. Saying one little thing can actually make a difference.” Working together, the three teens are planning a “No Place for Hate” Week March 7-11 at Torrey Pines. During the weeklong campaign, the students hope to spread awareness through informational posters, speakers and other activities. “I hope that students will think twice about the things that they say, and eventually step up to biases that they hear themselves and not be a bystander anymore,” Cole said. “I just hope that they gain the knowledge that I did and the awareness that I have now, so they know how to confront different situations and make a difference like me, Cole and Sabrina have,” Sophia added. “I hope that will spread throughout our entire campus and we’ll actually have a place for no hate at our school.” Founded in 1913, the Anti-Defamation League is an international organization that aims to fight anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defend democratic ideals and protect civil rights for all. The organization’s National Youth Leadership Mission was founded in 1996 and became a national program in 1998 to prepare students as role models against bigotry, hate and prejudice.

Teen launches special-needs soccer camp Cardiff program is serving youth with autism, Down syndrome BY PAM KRAGEN Dominic Pasqueralli loves soccer. He also loves dinosaurs. And every Saturday afternoon, the 9-year-old Encinitas boy can indulge both passions with the Champions League. The just-launched soccer camp was developed to give special-needs youth like Dominic a hands-on sports experience without the restrictions and demands of traditional league play. During the league’s second session recently, Dominic was able to kick around a soccer ball, run the field and claw playfully at his companions as if he were a soccer-playing Cretaceous creature. "Activate raptor running power!" he shouted gleefully as he drove an oversized ball toward the goal with the help of his 13-year-old volunteer "buddy" Aidan Cohen. Then, as he lined up to shoot the ball into the net, he cried: "Activate gallimimus kicking power!" Watching happily from the sidelines were Dominic’s parents and grandparents. His mom, Natalie, said she’s thrilled there’s a program for kids like Dominic, who is on the autism spectrum. "Dominic has always wanted to play soccer, but we were nervous about how he would fit into a typical league," she said.
BILL WECHTER
Champions League player Sean Suarez, 8, right, practices with buddies Mikey Lothringer, 16, and Julia Honda, 15, Saturday at Ada Harris Elementary School in Cardiff. The new soccer program is designed for children with special needs. "This has been a wonderful experience for Dominic, and Aidan has been so great with him. He plays along with the dinosaur thing, and they have a lot of fun together." The Champions League, which meets weekly at Ada Harris Elementary School in Cardiff, was founded by 16-year-old Quincy Erturk. The Canyon Crest Academy junior has volunteered for the past four years with the special-needs Champion League baseball
program in Carlsbad, and she wanted to create a similar program in her community for soccer. "It’s just something I thought would be fun. I really like the feeling it gives me to volunteer with these kids," she said. Quincy plays varsity soccer at Canyon Crest Academy and has played club soccer for nine years. Through those connections, she was able to pull together a low-cost,
six-week program that kicked off Jan. 23. A dozen boys and girls signed up for the inaugural season, which she said still has room for more players. The program is co-sponsored by the Cardiff Mustangs soccer league and TOPSoccer, a La Jolla-based outreach program for young athletes with disabilities. Quincy also worked with Cal South, the California State Soccer Association, which donated the goal nets, balls and training equipment. Buddy T-shirts and player jerseys were also donated. Since the program is all-volunteer, families paid just $7.50 to participate. The program participants, mostly boys, range in age from 5 to 15. One boy has Down syndrome; the rest have autism. Because the players have varying degrees of disability and soccer experience, traditional games aren’t possible. Instead, each child is paired with one or two teen buddies, and they work together on a series of drills and kicking games. Under threatening skies recently, the hourlong practice began with several kicking drills, followed by a running and dribbling game called "red light, green light" and finally goal-kicking practice. One of the most experienced participants is Timothy Woodmansee, 15, of Del Mar. Timothy has Down syndrome and has been playing in TOPSoccer for the past four years. His mother, Jennifer, said that TOPSoccer is a SEE SOCCER, A14

Local resident training next generation of scientists at SDSU SDSU’s Bridges Stem Cell internship program earns $3 million grant BY KAREN BILLING The Bridges Stem Cell Research Internship Program (BSCRIP) at San Diego State University recently received $3 million in funds from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to continue the program. The funding helps to support young scientists as they get the experience they need to launch their biomedical careers. “The program has been a monumental success in recruiting highly competitive and diverse students here at SDSU to begin a scientific career in regenerative medicine,” said local resident Ralph Feuer, Ph.D., the program’s director and an associate professor at SDSU. Feuer has been a member of the faculty at SDSU since 2006 and has taught a number of courses in the biology department at all levels, from undergraduate courses to the cell and molecular biology joint doctoral program. He additionally runs his own research lab at SDSU studying heart and brain diseases, training a number of Ph.D, master’s and undergraduate degree candidates as they complete their degrees. As an educator, he said it is a privilege to be able to train the next generation of researchers. Feuer has been the BSCRIP program director since 2011, taking over from the program’s founder, Dr. Christopher Glembotski. Susan Kaiser has been involved as a program administrator since the beginning and has
Ralph Feuer, program director of SDSU’s Bridges Stem Cell Research Internship Program. made major contributions to its success, according to Feuer. “It’s a program that picks very talented and very competitive undergraduate and master’s students at SDSU. We only pick 10 students,” Feuer said. The program is innovative in training and providing job opportunities for interns and, according to Feuer, is in many ways similar to the German style-apprenticeships endorsed by President Barack Obama. “The paid internship ensures that we attract the best students but also ensures that they have plenty of time to complete their training…it alleviates stress so they can really concentrate on completing a successful
project,” Feuer said. Students participate in a lab course that provides hands-on experience in stem cell research techniques and then take on a 12-month internship at host institutions such as UC San Diego, The Sanford/Burnham Institute for Medical Research, Scripps Institute for Research and various local biotech companies. “It’s not just a matter of giving them money, but also of giving them good mentors who can help train and guide them, of giving them meaningful engagement with patients and patient advocates, so they have a clear vision of the impact the work they are doing can have on people’s lives,” said C. Randal Mills, Ph.D.,
the president and CEO of CIRM in a press release. Students in SDSU’s progams have achieved great individual success, going on to careers in research, at biotech companies, earning doctorates and pursuing medical degrees. After completing his internship at the Salk Institute in Dr. Fred Gage’s lab, student Ian Ladran graduated from SDSU, started his own lab in New York City studying stem cells, and then co-founded a diagnostics company, MiRNA Analytics, based on micro-RNA technology. “We would like to see the program grow,” said Feuer. “The program is valuable not just for SDSU but also because the students that have gone through this program are going on to much bigger and better things. The role of the program is to attract the next generation of researchers and technicians that are interested in pursuing stem cell research and developing therapies for changing diseases and injuries of humans. This program is about finding those students and allowing them to pursue their dreams.” Feuer is grateful for CIRM, which invested more than $40 million for internship programs at 15 California campuses this year to help cultivate the next generation of scientists. “The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has put California on the map for stem cell research,” Feuer said. “California is the world leader in research and training for stem cell research and it’s the hope that the state and the public taxpayer will continue to support this highly worthwhile program.” For more information, visit www.sci.sdsu.edu/scip/

been good for his son’s interpersonal skills. Jack's autism causes problems with anxiety and social interaction. "Sometimes when you have a kid with special needs, it’s a challenge to find things for them to do," he said. "The buddy system I really like, because it brings him together with young people closer to his own age. He doesn’t have problems interacting with adults, because he’s always surrounded by them, but this is a different dynamic." Caldwell said he drives Jack all over the county to play soccer because it has helped his coordination and "pulled him out of his shell." "His teachers at school made a comment about how much he’s improved, and I give a lot of the credit to soccer," Caldwell said. While many of the participants have played in other soccer
programs, it’s a new experience for 8-year-old Sean Suarez. At the beginning of the recent session, he wouldn’t let go of his mother’s hand and cried whenever his buddies touched him or got too close. But by the end of the hour, Sean was holding hands with his buddies, laughing and running freely across the field, kicking the ball ahead of him. That’s the kind of transformation that has made the hard work of organizing the league worth it for Quincy, who said she plans to continue building the program for another season next spring. For more information, email Quincy at champions@cardiffsoccer.org or visit the league’s website at: cardiffsoccer.org/mustangchampions-league/. Kragen writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

BY BRYCE MILLER As a fan barks “C’mon Falcons!“ on a crisp and comfortable Friday night at Torrey Pines High School, Stephan Baere tilts his smart phone and thumbs through the images. First, it’s the X-rays — the ones that show the missing section of 16-year-old son Jackson’s skull from surgery. Then it’s the marble-sized spot of disturbing, life-altering darkness on the teen’s brain. More scrolling reveals photos of the crescent-shaped scar tracing the hairline above Jackson’s right eye. This is the Baere family’s past, the one filled with questions and restless nights and tears in quiet parking lots. The future is running around the field in front of them, diving to the ground at that very moment in a scrum cap to chase down a rugby ball. As players from rival Cathedral Catholic rush in, the father explains how everything changed when a godsend of a concussion led the Baeres down a medical road none
anticipated. As he talks, a Cathedral player inadvertently plows into Jackson’s head. The family fails to notice as he pops up and sprints away. “He plays all out, all the time,” Torrey Pines coach Matty Sandoval said. “He puts his body in peril more than he should, probably.” At a time of unprecedented concerns about contact sports, when concussions thrust the letters CTE into our vocabularies, one family was forced to decide whether a boy should be ripped away from the game that was shaping him. What they knew: Jackson loved rugby. What they also knew: The sport provided a gift that was impossible to repay. Three moments led a boy who played baseball his whole life to a different sport at a different school and an injury that birthed both a scar and second chance. If any it had unfolded differently, a gregarious teen would be racing around with a

Or worse. “I think rugby saved my life,” Jackson said. ‘Oh, no — not this again’ Jackson Baere is a junior at Torrey Pines. He owns a 3.8 grade-point average, a cheek-to-cheek smile and a mop of hair that makes its own decisions. He aced an Advanced Placement course last semester in World
History and peppers discussions about Ancient Greece with the “likes” and “dudes” you might expect from someone that age. Stephan Beare — pronounced STEFF-an bear — needles his son as they walk off the pitch after the big 25-21 win over the team’s Del Mar Heights Road rival. Jackson is chatting about history when his father chides: “Was Genghis Khan a chick?”
“Really, dad?” Jackson grins. “Really?“ Sandoval, Jackson’s varsity coach, said the flanker and team’s top kicker has missed one practice, asking permission to study for two AP tests looming the next day. Jackson is among a group of players who find Sandoval after practice to shake his hand. “They thank you for your time SEE RUGBY, A28

Torrey Pines Rugby win streak continues BY TIM PICKWELL High school rugby plays a truncated, six-game season. There is no room for error. Every match counts. In the season opener in mid-December, the Torrey Pines Varsity was tied, 12-12 with rival La Costa Canyon, when a Falcon player was ejected. Playing a man-up, the strong Maverick back-line quickly exposed some Torrey Pines deficiencies, scored three tries in 10 minutes, and won, going away 40-12. The worst loss in years for Torrey Pines Rugby. Incredibly, in the week following the match, Head Coach Matty Sandoval told his team, “Fellas. I believe we are a championship team. We’re just going to have to work really hard to get there.” The quantity and quality of practices got bumped up, and Sandoval started tinkering each game with the line-up, eventually settling on a young squad that starts three sophomores and as many as six juniors. Scrum halfs became centers, fly halfs dropped back on defense to become fullbacks, fullbacks became wings, several subs pushed starters out of the way for playing time. The result is a five-game winning streak, including a victory Friday night, Feb. 12, at Torrey Pines High School over St. Augustine, 28-7, to cement a rematch in the final against La Costa Canyon (6-0). “We got better and better every week,” said Prop and Senior Team Captain Benny Ruffolo. “We were tired after every practice, we were pushed every week, but we knew if we just went out there and played, we’d improve.” Improve they did. Rebounding from the LCC loss with a 17-7 victory over Poway. Then beating a tough Fallbrook team on the road, 41-36. Then putting complete games together and knocking off Del Norte and Cathedral Catholic in nail biter, back-to-back home contests. The wire-to-wire win over St. Augustine was the rare contest where the team never trailed. The teams were testing each other early, when Saints No. 8 Andrew Alves made a punishing long run (one of several on the night) down to the Torrey Pines 5 meter line. Saints cycled out the ruck, and were spreading the ball out, when Falcon Senior Wing Max Lyle intercepted the ball and went untouched, 85 meters for

A few minutes later, Falcon Blake Richards-Smith collected a ball out of line-out, and reached over for another try. He nailed the conversion kick for good measure, and Torrey Pines led at half, 14-0. Saints star Alves had a strong run early in the second half, and James Downey hit the conversion to make the score, 14-7. But, Ruffolo added a cushion (Richards-Smith with the conversion) to put Torrey Pines up, 21-7. Midway through the half, Falcon Fly Half Matthew Goena made a nice inside flip to Center Tanner Dearham, who caught the Saints defense heading the wrong way. He knifed through the line for a 20-meter score. Jackson Baere hit the conversion to finish off the scoring, 28-7. Torrey Pines (5-1), earns a rematch with the Mavericks on Feb. 19, at La Costa Canyon. Time TBD. A remarkable turn-around for a Falcon team that started 0-1, with a 28-point pasting. Explaining the turnaround, Sandoval simply said, “The best group of boys that I’ve ever coached.”

Real Estate & Construction
Growing & Building North Coast An overview of North County Coastal’s Economic Landscape Housing market in 2016 looks similar to previous year, experts say BY JOE TASH In terms of new home construction and sales, the housing market for 2016 in coastal North San Diego County is expected to be similar to last year, said several industry experts. Across San Diego County, permits were pulled for about 10,000 residential units during 2015 (a 9-year high), and a similar number is expected in 2016, said Borre Winckel, president and CEO of the Building Industry Association. “We will expect a very similar year to last year,” said Winckel, with about 25 percent of the new homes being detached single-family residences, and the other 75 percent consisting of attached condos and townhomes. Roughly two-thirds of the activity will occur within the city of San Diego, which includes Carmel Valley. Coastal North County - defined here as an area from Encinitas south to La Jolla and inland to Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe - will continue to be the most expensive and sought-after housing “sub-market” in San Diego County, said Russ Valone of Market Pointe Realty Advisors. “I think what you are going to see is continued rapid appreciation in the North County coastal sub-market because of dwindling supply and restrictive policies which will inhibit the processing and development of new supply in the coming years,” said Valone. The current inventory of new homes in coastal North County is 368 units, down from a year earlier, according to Valone. “The inventory is tightening up,” he said. Developers are seeking approval to build 4,200 more units, including both single-family and attached housing. In all, he said, there is supply for about 2.5 years, based on sales in the previous year. The average price for new homes in coastal North County in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $1.14 million, according to statistics from Market Pointe. Pardee Homes has three residential housing projects currently selling in the Pacific

Pardee Homes has three residential housing projects, including Canterra (above), currently selling in the Pacific Highlands Ranch area of Carmel Valley. Highlands Ranch area of Carmel Valley. One project, called Canterra, includes 89 homes and should be sold out by May, said Liz Ramirez, Pardee’s director of marketing. The other two current projects include about 200 homes total, and the company is anticipating that two additional projects will be coming on-line in Pacific Highlands Ranch. “Our projections (for 2016) are very similar to 2015 in regard to sales and closings,” Ramirez said. “We still see a very strong market, especially in Carmel Valley. It’s very desirable, and it’s coastal close.” Dove-tailing with the housing market, inventory is also down in the commercial office market in coastal North County. “2016 will have a very short supply of affordable, quality office space in the North Coastal Office markets,” said Ron Miller of Colliers International.
There will be pockets of “functionally obsolete space” that will sit vacant for several months until landlords decide either to remodel their property or offer rent concessions, Miller said. Carmel Valley attracts business tenants in such sectors as law, technology, life science, mortgage, financial/wealth preservation and healthcare, Miller said. Coastal North County and Carmel Valley are expected to have the highest rents and lowest vacancy rates in San Diego County for the next several years, he said. Among the constraints facing the housing market, particularly in coastal North County, experts said, are the high costs of permits and regulatory compliance, and a reluctance to approve higher density housing. In addition, of the new housing that is built, said Winckel of the Building Industry Association, it is concentrated at the lower
and upper ends of the market, with little housing built for consumers in the middle income ranges. That’s because of the high regulatory costs and fees, which make it difficult for builders to profitably build and sell homes for less than $500,000. Winckel referred to a study released in 2015 by Point Loma Nazarene University, which found that, on average, the cost of regulation in San Diego County amounts to about 40 percent of the price of a new home. Those costs include fees for building permits, as well as for schools, sewer lines and water connections. Other costs are related to the approval process, the report found. The approval process can be particularly challenging for multi-family, or attached, housing, Valone said. “It’s difficult to get a lot of density pushed through in this market,” he said.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Tackle the ‘3-4-50’ with Healthy Living Program BY ATHENA PHILIS-TSIMIKAS, M.D. hat do heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and respiratory disease have in common? They’re all serious chronic diseases, and they’re among the most prevalent in California. The California Department of Public Health estimates that 14 million Californians are living with at least one chronic condition, and more than half have multiple chronic diseases. Unlike an acute illness such as pneumonia which lasts for several weeks, a chronic condition lasts for months or even years; in some cases, it can last a lifetime. In addition to being among the leading causes of death, chronic diseases can lead to disabilities and decreased quality of life. Diabetes, for example, can cause blindness or amputations. Heart disease, which includes high blood pressure, can trigger a debilitating stroke. While a family history of disease and other factors may increase your risk of these chronic diseases, your lifestyle can play a major role in preventing them. To help you take steps to reduce your risk, Scripps is launching Healthy Living, an interactive education program to help the San Diego community tackle the 3-4-50: three behaviors (smoking, diet, physical activity) that contribute to four chronic diseases (cancer, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease) that cause 50 percent of all deaths in San Diego and throughout the U.S. Healthy Living is a series of three educational sessions that help you learn practical ways to improve your health habits. The fun sessions provide lots of opportunities to practice your new skills and make them part of your lifestyle. The program is free, offered in both English and Spanish, and open to all residents of San Diego
W
County, including at the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute in La Jolla.
Session One: The Basics of Healthy Eating In the first session, you’ll learn the basics of healthy eating by using MyPlate, a program developed by the USDA to help you identify the healthy eating style that works for you and build it into your daily routine. We’ll also teach you how to translate the new USDA Dietary Guidelines and read nutrition labels. Plus, we’ll review the risks of smoking and secondhand smoke, as well as the new ways tobacco is being used and the dangers they present, including vape pens, electronic cigarettes, and more. If you’re using tobacco, we’ll provide resources to help you quit. Finally, you’ll learn how to make lasting, meaningful changes by taking the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time bound) approach to reaching your goals. Using small, practical steps, participants set a SMART goal at each session and report on their successes and challenges at the following session.
Session Two: Making Healthy Eating a Habit In the second session, we’ll offer practical suggestions on how to maintain healthy eating habits when eating out – even at fast food restaurants – and learn to put together a low-calorie, low-fat meal using a fast food menu. You’ll also practice “mindful eating” to help maintain lifelong healthy eating habits, and
RANT WITH RANDI BY RANDI CRAWFORD
Help!
I
’m going back to a classic rant today. While I love to praise the positive things I witness going on around me in the community, I can’t let this go...we are getting so crazy over political correctness that let’s just say, it’s 100 percent determined which way I’m going to vote!
We are so screwed up today. Our values are in the trash and I’m done not saying anything about it. I’m just simply done. Seeing as it’s impossible to pick a place to start, I decided to start with the Super Bowl. And there’s no rhyme or reason to why this particular issue put me over the top, but it
did. Who doesn’t love to go to a party, eat everything in sight, drink “Budweiser” (Nod to Peyton), and watch the main event – the commercials? Without question, two of the best ads during the entire game were the Doritos and the Hyundai ads, and wouldn’t you know,
learn tips to manage “social cues” that can make it difficult to stick to a healthy eating plan, such as holidays, parties, and food-laden coffee breaks. Lastly, we’ll explore the relationship between calories and activity, and discuss strategies to achieve or maintain a healthy weight.
Session Three: Physical Activity Targets With a focus on physical activity, the third session introduces the target of 150 minutes per week of physical activity. We’ll cover how to achieve it through activities that you enjoy and strategies to get around common barriers to meeting physical activity goals. We’ll even get up and moving to demonstrate how we can contribute to our 150 minutes anywhere, anytime. We’ll also discuss how stress can interfere with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and practice a few simple and quick stress management techniques. Healthy Living sessions are offered throughout the community in English and Spanish. Morning, afternoon, evening and Saturday classes are available.

NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League) sent out several angry live tweets bashing them. The first ad was the Doritos commercial where a semi-clueless dad-to-be is eating Doritos and the baby is reaching to get it. Finally the mom-to-be throws the chip across the room and it’s implied that the baby propels itself right out of her to get it. During the commercial, the female doctor says, “And there’s your beautiful baby.” OMG the doctor said “baby!” Yes, apparently baby is not approved NARAL language. They use the word fetus and not baby because the word
baby “humanizes” the unborn child. What? They tweeted, “#Notbuying it – that @Doritos ad using @antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight. #SB50”. Can we not just watch something funny and laugh for the sake of laughing anymore? Does everything have to be about political correctness? I’m fairly certain that not one single person I was with thought – hmm, that is offensive as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore! How dare they imply that dads are dopes, SEE RANDI, A29

FROM SCHOOL, A1 Encinitas-based True North Research conducted the poll throughout December. Of the 19,433 registered voters in the district’s boundaries, 300 people were randomly selected to participate in the poll. Interviews were conducted over the phone, with 40 to 50 percent of respondents on cell phones. A computer-assisted system called CATI, or Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing, was used to conduct the interviews. The system alerts interviewers to data entry errors, navigates skip patterns and randomizes appropriate questions. Interviews were conducted from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. Interviews averaged 17 minutes. Those surveyed were asked about the importance of seven different issues. Of that list, respondents ranked maintaining the quality of education in local public schools at the top, with nearly 88 percent. Maintaining local streets and roads came next at 74 percent; followed by protecting the environment at 69 percent; improving public safety at 66 percent; maintaining local property values at 65 percent; and repairing and upgrading aging school facilities at 59 percent. Preventing local tax increases ranked last with almost 54 percent. “It is important for us to know where the priorities fall within our district,” Decker said. Respondents were asked to rate the quality of education provided in the Solana Beach School District. Of the 300 participants, more than 70 percent rated the quality of education as good or excellent. Nearly 7 percent said fair, less than 2 percent said poor, and less than 2 percent said very poor. Nearly 19 percent said they were not sure. Those surveyed were also asked whether they would favor spending money on various programs and projects, from repairing outdated buildings to replacing portable classrooms. Of the dozen options, respondents ranked providing modern facilities and equipment needed for core courses in math, science engineering, arts and technology at the top, with close to 81 percent. The next highest priorities included improving campus security; repairing or replacing leaky roofs, old plumbing, and electrical systems; repairing and upgrading outdated classrooms, science labs, libraries and buildings; and removing hazardous materials such as asbestos or lead paint from older schools. Of the lower ranked programs and projects, creating a centralized kitchen to improve quality, nutritional value meals ranked last with 52 percent. “Those types of projects are really a solid match to what’s in our facilities masters plan,” said Decker, in reference to the top-ranked programs and projects. “That helps us know that there’s some alignment between the kinds of things that our community is interested in seeing us do and what we have in our facilities master plan.” Respondents were also asked for reasons why they would or would not support a bond measure. The top reason in support of a measure was that there will be a clear system of fiscal accountability, including a citizens’ oversight committee and independent audits. Other reasons included protecting the quality of life and local schools; money would stay local; older schools need repairs; and the measure would help support continued high student achievement. Of those who said they would not support the measure, just over 21 percent said they had no particular reason, 21 percent said the money could be mismanaged, and nearly 19 percent said taxes are already too high. Just over 14 percent said they needed more information, 10 percent said the schools are OK, and nearly 9 percent said the district has enough money. Founded in 1925, the Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools and a child development center. In 2014, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School, in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other schools, however, opened decades ago and need to be updated. Skyline School, for example, was constructed in phases between 1955 and 1961 and was modernized in 2000. In preparation for a potential bond measure, the district is currently working with architects and engineers on improvement projects for the schools, including identifying areas of need and determining project timeframes. If the district moves forward with a bond on the November ballot and the measure passes, the district would need to submit its plans to the Division of the State Architect by December 2016. The Division of State Architect provides design and construction oversight for K-12 schools, community colleges, and various other state-owned and leased facilities. Construction could then start as early as summer 2017, according to district staff.

When (an aneurism) ruptures, two out of three people die before they reach a hospital. Of the third that reach the hospital, a third of those patients die. And another third don’t return to (their normal self).

FROM RUGBY, A15 and investment,” he said. “That’s pretty impressive.” The rugby-crazy kid is a bundle of commitment — focused, responsible, respectful and, at times, disarmingly mature. One time, he invited coaches to meet him over coffee to discuss his health situation. He can be fearless on the pitch, but a gentle breeze off it. “If he’s a bear,” Sandoval said in reference to his family name, “he’s one of those Grateful Dead dancing bears. He’s a little goofy.” That’s how Jackson felt last spring as he tackled an opponent during the final junior-varsity game of the season. As he wrapped up low, a teammate zoomed in higher — planting his knee squarely on Jackson’s head. At first, he balled up on the grass. Then, he wandered off the pitch in a haze and sat down by a light pole. “He was crying, emotional, repeating himself,” said Mandi Baere, Jackson’s mother. “He was not OK.” Stephan drove his son to a nearby hospital. He had suffered a concussion, clearly, but a CT scan revealed something else. There was something, a dark splotch, resting on the right frontal region of Jackson’s brain. There was a pause, then an overwhelming flood of concern that washed over them. Is that a tumor? On his brain? One minute, a family worried about a concussion. The next, time twisted and intensified in a fog of questions lacking answers. Jackson’s thoughts rushed back to the tumor in his left leg as a sixth-grader that had pushed the family to those same dark corners. The tumor proved to be benign, but it made this moment sharp and disturbingly familiar. “I was like, ‘Oh, no — not this again,’ “ he said. “I kind of shrugged it off, though — ‘When can I get back? When can I play?’ “ First, the scare. Next, the game. Then
FROM CHEER, A6 I am privileged to see firsthand some of the effects it has on the students involved. I get to see the smiles, the laughter, the friendships forged, the high fives, the hugs, the cheers, the excitement, the hard work of planning and practices, and even the response from the crowds when we perform our cheers,” Kuemmerle said. “It’s exciting when the loudest cheers at the JV basketball games are those from the crowd after TP Sparkle performs at halftime!” Juliette said that she has definitely noticed a change in team members — some kids who wouldn’t even talk to her in the beginning now feel comfortable holding her hand. She loves to see the confidence the kids have gained to
and always. What about rugby? he asked his parents. What about rugby? he asked doctors? Follow up testing showed Jackson had an aneurysm, a weakened blood vessel that could burst and be fatal. The silent condition could have been a sudden killer. “When one ruptures, two out of three people die before they reach a hospital,” said Dr. Michael Levy, the UCSC professor of neurosurgery who performed the May 11, 2015, surgery at Rady Children’s Hospital. “Of the third that reach the hospital, a third of those patients die. And another third don’t return to (their normal self).” The honest medical appraisal was chilling. “It’s always better to find them,” Levy said, “before they find you.” Decisions change life forever Jackson, who attended a private school when he was younger, was faced with the decision about a high school to attend. He considered Torrey Pines, Cathedral and Santa Fe Christian. Santa Fe started earlier than the other two, so he was forced to decide as he drove to the annual summer camp in Colorado he attended. He narrowed the choices to Santa Fe Christian and Torrey Pines, but had warmed to the idea of trying public school. When he arrived at Torrey Pines, he learned the school offered rugby and joined a team in the fall. When spring arrived, he had to choose between the club rugby season or baseball — the sport he’d played his entire life. “I fell in love with rugby,” he said. “I’m like, ‘Alright, I’m going all in on this.” At the end of the spring, he suffered the concussion that nudged into motion a medical road that possibly saved his life. So many things had to happen for the chain to form and and for it to remain unbroken. If he had chosen Santa Fe Christian — a school that had not yet launched a rugby program — he might
not have connected with the sport. If he decided to stick with baseball, he would not have been on the pitch that day. And if he friend had decided against tackling an opponent, tackling him high and arriving at the exact moment and position to strike Jackson, no CT scan would have been performed. If, if, if … What if any of those ifs never happened? Jackson stopped to consider something a teenager never should. “Any one of those decisions probably changed my life forever,” he said. Boy reunites with special sport The three-hour surgery was a success, repairing the aneurysm without complications. The complicated part, the family soon learned, would be conversations about a contact sport that owned a kid’s heart. The family felt lucky. Would they be willing to push that luck? Levy cleared Jackson medically, labeling him “fully cured” from the aneurysm. The bigger question was the durability of the skull in the area of the surgery. The doctor felt the risk was minimal. “The doctor was awesome, the coaches were awesome,” Stephan Baere said. “It was totally our decision. When we got the doctor’s clearance, Jackson did a lot of research and talked to everyone. He was very thorough. “Without that clearance, though, we would have big-time hesitations.” Jackson waited until the final day of the deadline for athletic papers to play this season, milking every possible day to research and discuss. The family’s fears lessen, but always linger. A week before the win against Cathedral, Mandi winced at the sight of Jackson’s blue, swollen nose — a trophy from another game. They all know, though, that rugby offered something invaluable. “It was meant to happen,” Jackson said. Bryce Miller is a sports columnist for the San Diego Union Tribune
perform out on the court in front of the crowd. Juliette’s buddy for adaptive PE and Sparkle Effect is Riley Pathman. “Our son Riley loves doing Sparkle cheer with his friend Juliette,” said Lisa Pathman, Riley’s mom. “Riley is practicing cheer moves with his physical therapist and always looks forward to it. Our family believes in inclusion and we appreciate like-minded people like Juliette who help create opportunities for people with special needs to have a wonderful school experience.” A pep rally is being planned for the end of the month and Juliette would like to organize a team pizza party. She also hopes that Sparkle Effect can get involved cheering at Miracle League games or maybe even at football games next season. She has high goals to make
Sparkle Effect its own class period instead of just existing within the adapted PE class. “I hope it becomes an every-year program,” said Juliette. “I want to make sure it carries on after we all graduate.” Kuemmerle is definitely rooting for Juliette and Sparkle Effect’s continued success. “Juliette is amazing. For her to see beyond herself and want to create a cheer program to foster inclusion for those with disabilities is a joyous thing. As my daughter would say, ‘It makes my heart warm’,” Kuemmerle said. “The biggest lessons I have learned from my experiences over the years — but especially this year — are that one, we are all more alike than different, and two, anyone can be a friend to another person.”

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - FEBRUARY 18, 2016 - PAGE A29
FROM DOG, A1 Biszantz’s first breed was a much larger dog — she used to compete internationally with German Shepherds in a sport called Schutzhund. The sport tests the dogs’ traits and characteristics in agility, obedience and protection. “I’ve always enjoyed being in the ring competing with dogs but it was completely different than what I’m doing with (Dillon),” Biszantz said. A love of animals runs in the family — Biszantz’s parents, Gary and Betty, are the founders of Cobra Golf Company and Cobra Farm, an 82-acre thoroughbred horse breeding facility in Lexington, Kentucky. Biszantz became intrigued by the Affenpinscher, with its “big dog behavior, Curious George attitude and fun loving spirit” all wrapped up in a toy dog. The breeds’ popularity peaked when Banana Joe won Best in Show at Westminster in 2013. The dogs are judged on their “monkey-like” look, the expression of their little mouth and eyes. Biszantz researched and met with breeders of Affenpinschers all over the world in Finland, Arizona, Florida and New Hampshire. She was drawn to Terry and Jackie Stacy, owners of Tamarin Kennels in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, breeders of some of the finest Affenpinscher lines in the world. Biszantz sent many inquiries and pursued Jackie Stacy — knowing Stacy was judging a show in Del Mar, Biszantz persisted until she was able to get in front of Stacy for a meeting. She was then invited to fly to North Carolina for an interview — only one to two dogs are born in every breeding cycle and Tamarin is very selective about the owners.
Dillon on the competition circuit. Part of the contract with a superior breeder is that the owner can never sell the dog and the owner is required to get a championship title on the dog. Biszantz took Dillon to the world’s number one Affenpinscher handlers Jorge and Susie Olivera, who had recently re-located to San Marcos from Arizona. Biszantz had just been looking to get Dillon a championship but when he started showing in fall 2014, Dillon got his first title within a few months and then earned a Grand Championship Bronze from the American Kennel Club before he was even 14 months old, which was a rarity. "Dillon acts like he should, ‘a moustached little devil’ who can stare you down, as a monkey does from a tree, is full of comic seriousness, keeps you laughing, is loyal and affectionate to his family and friends, is alert inquisitive and gamey,” said Stacy. “His medium-sized round black eyes are
FROM CHICKENS, A1 the attendance of a typical meeting, Emberg circulated a petition in favor of allowing chickens which drew more than 100 signatures. Another resident sent out a letter to her neighbors, warning of consequences, such as loose chickens in the community, and the potential of opening the door to more intrusive livestock such as pigmy goats or pot-bellied pigs. Resident Gary Eastham, who has lived in Fairbanks for 15 years, said he is opposed to any rule change allowing chickens because, in the past, the homeowners association has not had a good record of dealing with problems caused by animals, such as barking or loose dogs. “I have no confidence that if there was a problem with the chickens, the smell, or they got out, I’m not confident it would be resolved,” Eastham said. “It doesn’t seem very well thought-out,” Eastham said, “We have a proven history of dealing inadequately with issues between animals and residents.” But Emberg said her birds don’t
near perfection. Then add sound legs, level topline and proper size and what do have? Dillon. We call him a real one.” When you get a dog like Dillon, who gets his championship and then judges are really starting to look at him as one of the top one or two dogs in his breed, Biszantz said then comes the tough decision of whether to campaign and competitively show the dog. “Dillon was really a fantastic specimen of the breed. Dog shows are really for breeders’ purposes, to get the best dogs with the best temperament and qualities and breed them to create a better dog,” Biszantz said. “I could have been very selfish and want the dog to just stay home with me but he was so fantastic that we felt we owed it to the fanciers to get the opportunity to see Dillon and how good he really is.” After letting Dillon grow up a little at home, he went out to compete last May at the
bother anyone, including her direct neighbors. She doesn’t keep roosters, which are much noisier than hens, and she maintains her coop properly so there is no smell. She said coyotes already live in the area, feeding on a variety of plants and small animals, and that chickens would not result in more coyotes in Fairbanks. Emberg, who posed during her career for the covers of such magazines as Glamour, Cosmopolitan and Sports Illustrated, has in recent years taken up gardening in a big way, and even launched a web site, called “The Model Gardener,” and hosted an internet radio show of the same name. Keeping chickens is an extension of her desire to grow fresh food for her family. She also loves the birds as companion animals. Emberg and her husband, attorney Mike Padilla, own a property with about 3.7 acres. Most of the homes in Fairbanks are on lots of one to three acres. “If we buy a property in an area where nature is all around us, why can’t we keep a few chickens?” she said. “If it doesn’t bother my neighbors, why would it be an issue?” During the summer, at the height of
Affenpinscher Club of America’s Nationals. To her surprise, Dillon took second to the world’s #1 Affenpinscher and Biszantz made the decision to make a “run for the Garden” at Westminster. A run for the Madison Square Garden is a long road — only the top six dogs of that breed are invited, based on a point accumulation. The run also involved Dillon living full time with his handlers. “It broke my heart to drop him off at the Olivera’s home,” Biszantz said. “I cried for what seemed like forever.” To keep her company while Dillon was away, Biszantz relied on her other Affenpinscher Tapper, also from the Tamarin Kennel. Tapper is just 14 months old and takes his job as a companion seriously, sticking close at all times and snuggling into her side on the couch. Dillon’s daily routines during his competitions and leading up to
laying season, her hens produce between six and eight eggs each day, she said. Her home-grown eggs taste better and are healthier than those sold in stores, she said. More and more people are opting to grow their own food, she said, which is evidenced by such trends as a move by Williams-Sonoma, a retailer of upscale kitchenware, to offer chicken coops for sale on its web site. “Mary’s Tack & Feed (a venerable Del Mar equestrian and pet supply store) has a chicken section now. There’s a reason for that,” Emberg said. Emberg said she is aware of at least a few other Fairbanks residents who have chickens on their property. Based on the HOA board’s decision at its February meeting, those who want to keep chickens will have to get approval from the board. For her part, Emberg said she will submit a requested plot plan that shows how far her chicken coop stands from neighboring properties. And she has no plans to expand her menagerie. “I’m not going to get a cow or a pigmy goat or a pot-bellied pig. It’s not on my list,” she said.
Westminster with his handlers involved regimented exercise on a treadmill, proper nutrition, training for the ring, grooming, nail clippings and more grooming. From May 2015 through February, Biszantz flew and drove to see Dillon compete in shows — places such as Santa Barbara, Arkansas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Texas, Montana, Colorado and everywhere in between. Biszantz, who works as a realtor, admitted that her clients thought she was a little crazy but it was important for her to be at the competitions. “I think I’ve seen inside every (small town) hotel that you would never want to see inside,” Biszantz said, noting her lodgings in New York City were an upgrade — for Westminster, she stayed at the New Yorker. As a show dog must feel that the handler is its owner, Biszantz always had to keep her distance from Dillon, which was extremely difficult. “If he saw me, he’d want to come home, that’s the hard thing,” Biszantz said tearfully. “I’m so emotional that he’s coming home this weekend for good.” Dillon’s biggest win in 2015 was at the Eukanuba Nationals in Florida in December, which was followed by the coveted, official invite to Westminster — the biggest reward for a year’s worth of sacrifices. Biszantz had a lot of nervous energy going into New York but it was paired with some sense of relief and excitement. She can’t wait to have both of her boys by her side when Dillon “retires” and go back to just being a dog. Couch cuddling and golf balls await Dillon’s return from the show circuit.
FROM RANDI, A27 moms are uptight and babies are babies! The next best ad, in my humble opinion, features Kevin Hart acting as an overprotective father, lending his car keys to his daughter’s date so he can use the GPS to stalk them. NARAL’s tweet “Hey @Hyundai – taking away your daughter’s autonomy and stalking her on a date isn’t funny. @NotBuyingIt @SB50”. Umm, call me crazy but it wasn’t just funny, it was awesome. And I’m pretty sure that most dads could totally relate. This is exactly why “I can’t say the name, but you know who” is killing it in the polls. Because everyone is getting sick of not being able to speak up and call BS on the PC police! People are just simply done, as am I. Let’s switch gears and look at the University of Oregon. It’s almost impossible for me to wrap my brain around this one. The student body is actually considering removing the iconic quote from Martin Luther King Jr., from their student union building for fear of being racist? So now in this screwed up world we live in, you are telling me that even Martin Luther King Jr. is not inclusive enough…What? “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream.” Apparently this isn’t adequately promoting diversity and inclusion. One student said, “Diversity is so much more than race. Obviously race still plays a big role. But there are people who identify differently in gender and all sorts of things like that.” MLK isn’t including the “Caityln Jenners” of the world, so now it’s not inclusive enough? Help. Wow. Wow. Wow. No words. Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.

One of the music world’s most outstanding compositions will be performed free on Sunday evening, Feb. 28, at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe when a full orchestra and choir present the Lord Nelson Mass by Franz Joseph Haydn. Building on the church’s reputation for presenting many of San Diego’s finest musical programs, this virtuoso Mass from 1798 will feature four of Southern California’s brightest up-and-coming soloists and the accomplished pianist David Bergstedt also performing J.S. Bach’s Klavier Concerto No. IV in A Major. “It’s exciting to offer the community such an exquisite example of the Mass from the Classical period that features virtuoso soloists,” said Village Church Director of Music Ministries Juan Carlos Acosta. “The Lord Nelson Mass is a dramatic setting of some of the most familiar texts in sacred music and shows Haydn at the height of his maturity harnessing a dramatic work for choir, orchestra and soloists.” In addition to noted pianist Bergstedt, the evening’s performers include: Village Church Chancel Choir; Village Community Chorale; Katie Walders, Soprano; Elly Roseberry, Mezzo-Soprano; Alvin Almazan, Tenor; and Nicholas Newton, Bass-Baritone. The program begins at 6 p.m. and childcare is available. The hour-long concert is free and open to the public; donations are welcome. Juan Carlos Acosta is active as a conductor, singer and educator. In addition to his role at the Village Church, he is associate artistic director of the San Diego choir SACRA/PROFANA, and has sung with many of the region’s finest ensembles including the San Diego Opera, San Diego Master Chorale and the La Jolla Symphony Chorus.

Allison Minick, David McBean and Kern McFadden in ‘Now You See It,’ at the North Coast Repertory Theatre.
‘Now You See It’: A farce on foibles of love BY DIANA SAENGER This seems to be the season for farces with several playing around town. The North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) has staged its share, and is in rehearsal for another one, the U.S. premiere of “Now You See It,” directed by Bruce Turk. Written by French farce favorite Georges Feydeau (1862-1921) and translated by British playwright Kenneth McLeish, the story promises audiences a jealousy-fueled evening involving a philandering husband, a spurned lover and a scandalous discovery. Allison Minick (“Being Seen,” “Macbeth,” “Oklahoma”) said she’s thrilled to take on the only female role. “I love the play,” Minick said. “I read the script before auditioning and it was so funny and poignant. I heard great things about the North Coast Rep and director Bruce Turk. I love San Diego as I have family there I often visit.” Minick said she finds her character Marie-Louise fun to play, but also challenging. “She suspects her husband is having an affair because she discovered her previous husband had affairs and escapades with several women,” Minick said. “She’s convinced that all men have that inkling in their blood, but MarieLouise learns to navigate in a world where men have the power to take charge. She knows she doesn’t have as many rights, but she’s strong and experiences a huge amount of growth throughout the play as she fights for her power. “It’s a rich role because she’s stuck in a society where she’s pushing against the confines in restraints that her husband and society put on her.” After getting acquainted with each other, Minick and the four male actors
COURTESY
— John Greenleaf, David McBean, Kern McFadden and Ruff Yeager — are now in rehearsal, learning their lines, some songs and changes that Turk might make. “It’s very exciting that Bruce has created a way for us to go deep and discover what drives our characters in their transformations,” Minick said. “All the characters are funny in their own way, and succinct, smart and dealing with all the shenanigans that are happening. At times, it’s like a drama to make sure the characters are rooted in a real situation, and play the role even bigger. It took a lot of dramaturgical work to figure out our backstories and to work on a piece with no preconceived notions. We are all so passionate about this extremely funny play with crazy characters. We know the audience will really enjoy it.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Now You See It,” runs Feb. 27-March 20 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $39.

Photographer to present 2016 Axline Lecture FROM MUSEUM REPORTS The San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) in Balboa Park will present internationally renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado as featured speaker for the 16th annual Axline Lecture, 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25 in the museum’s auditorium. SDMA will also have a selection of works by Salgado, from its permanent collection and from the collections of Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Museum of Photographic Arts, on view Feb. 20-May 17. The Brazilian-born artist’s black-and-white photographs are among the most influential images of modern time, capturing the grim realities of industrialization in developing countries, the toll of warfare and the degradation of the natural environment. Salgado is known for working on long-term projects featuring large collections each with hundreds of images from around the world. His quest to capture nature in its unspoiled original state culminated in 2013 with the publication of “Genesis,” a portfolio of 200 black-and-white photographs. The artist and his work are the focus of the Oscar-nominated 2014 documentary, “The Salt of the Earth,” directed by German filmmaker Wim Wenders and the artist’s son, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado. SDMA will host a screening of the film 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19 in its auditorium. Tickets can be purchased at SDMArt.org and include entrance to the exhibition. Since 2000, SDMA and MCASD have partnered to present the annual Axline Lecture in honor of Jackie and Rea Axline, longtime trustees of both museums. Hosted in alternate years by each museum, it offers an opportunity to say thank you to supporters. A limited number of lecture tickets are available for $5-$10. ■ IF YOU GO: The San Diego Museum of Art is at 1450 El Prado in Balboa Park, downtown San Diego. (619) 232-7931. sdmart.org

RSF Women’s Fund present ‘Blanco & Bubbles’
T
he Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund recently held a festive “Blanco & Bubbles” event at the home of Mary Schuiman. The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund was established in November 2004 as a way for women to join together in the Rancho Santa Fe community in meaningful and engaging ways to give back to the greater San Diego community. The power of many women participating in “Collective Giving” has helped the organization multiply its impact and make a significant difference in community-wide needs with focused, collective grant-making. The RSF Women’s Fund, a donor advised fund of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, has 120 members and, since its inception in 2004, has awarded grants totaling nearly over $2.6 million. The Blanco & Bubbles event was a huge success. Over 50 women joined the party to socialize and welcome new potential members. For more information, visit www.rsfwomensfund.org.

RSF advisor ‘Engaging Women in Wealth’ BY KAREN BILLING Engaging Women in Wealth founder Deb Sims is living out something she has always wanted to do. As more women are becoming the primary financial decision makers, whether they are widowed, divorced, single mothers or business owners, they may be confronted with financial situations that they are unfamiliar with — that’s where Sims comes in, a trusted advisor to help women feel confident and empowered. “I always wanted to have an office in Rancho Santa Fe, particularly to serve women, as a way to give back,” Sims said. Three years ago she opened her cozy boutique office on Via de Santa Fe where she hopes to provide clients a warm and welcoming environment to learn the language of wealth management — topics include: investments and asset management, retirement and estate planning. As part of Engaging Women in Wealth, Sims hosts workshops on a monthly basis at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club “for the gals.” She keeps things simple and makes it fun — past takeaways for participants have included Kate Spade polka dot notebooks, Ted Baker bags with jewels and bows, and Tiffany wine glasses — along with arming attendees with helpful financial knowledge. Sims has worked in financial services since the mid-1980s, beginning her career with Dean Witter in downtown LA. As her career thrived she was eventually promoted to Vice President of Great Western Financial Services. Sims moved to Rancho Santa Fe in 1994 and raised her three daughters — her oldest daughter, Devon, is now her executive assistant and has worked with her for the last seven years. “She’s absolutely fantastic, the clients love her and I couldn’t do what I do if she wasn’t
there,” said Sims. For the last 15 years, Sims has been practicing as a Wealth Advisor with Estate Management Group. Her unique approach is centered on being a good listener — she can relate to many of her clients’ experiences as she’s walked in a lot of different shoes. Sims prides herself on her quality customer service and solid investment choices. As an advisor, Sims said she is really a problem-solver, helping clients figure out where they want to be and how she can help them get there. “It’s really about you, what you want out of life, what your passions are,” she said of her conversations with clients. Sims said that it’s her job to help figure out the finance part, pair it with client goals and help them build their retirement because, really, it’s a blink away. “It takes a lot of planning but we can get there, it’s just about getting started,” Sims said. As an added bonus, her Estate Management Group works closely with a network of estate planning attorneys, certified public accountants and mortgage brokers to provide her clients with quality outside specialists. Monthly workshops have tackled topics such as making sense of financial statements and estate planning. Next month’s workshop, “Retirement — Unlocking Your Full Potential,” will be held on March 9 from 12-2 p.m. at the RSF Golf Club. Estate Management Group is located at 16906 Via de Santa Fe, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067.

Wedding surprise held in RSF
F
OX5 San Diego’s morning show segment, Mansions on the Market with Abbey Gibb, hosted a surprise wedding on live TV in RSF Feb. 12, just before Valentine’s Day weekend. The show captivated its viewers as the bride, Caitlin Lawless Christ, thought she had flown in from Berkeley, Calif., to support her mom, Janet Lawless Christ, who is a Realtor affiliated with Coldwell Banker’s Rancho Santa Fe office. Janet was being featured on the show all morning giving viewers a tour of her listing at 4540 Los Pinos in Rancho Santa Fe. What started as a typical real estate
Newlyweds Tashi MacMillen and Caitlin Lawless Christ
segment, ended in a romantic surprise wedding with tears from the bride and cheers from wedding participants and the FOX5 San Diego anchor desk. By Monday, the wedding had aired worldwide. The Mansions on the Market segment started at the luxury, $6,999,999 million listing in the first segment with Janet giving viewers a tour and history of the estate, highlighting the elegant staircase and formal dining room, followed by an interview with the groom, Tashi MacMillen, who had been planning the surprise wedding with Janet. Janet explained that her daughter

wanted a civil ceremony prior to her formal wedding so that she could have her married name on her medical school diploma. During the second segment, Janet’s daughter, Caitlin, cried when her fiancé surprised her with news of the wedding, and the dress she had selected for her civil ceremony. Gibb assured the bride all details had been covered, as Coleen Freeman of Rancho Santa Fe Jewelers provided a wedding band for MacMillen to use for the ceremony. Doug Smith, with Healthy Locks, styled the bride’s hair and officiated the wedding, and Landscape Designer Kelly Fore Dixon had staged the property for

Material Choices: When Building a Home When building a home, there are many choices to be made, from selecting your builder and architectural team to deciding what style of home you want. Once you have all this behind you, your project is in gear and you realize your choices have only just begun. Researching and selecting materials are an important part of building a home.
Material choices, whether compiled by your architect, designer or yourself, are crucial to a successful project.
specifying materials, there are a myriad of products and costs to be considered. So how do you choose?
Building materials can be divided into categories. Working from the outside in, primary materials such as roofing, gutters, windows, doors, and exterior siding are all subject to choices that will define the overall look, quality and function of your home. Establishing the integrity of the home is the intent behind these choices. Simply put, when selecting these primary materials, functionality, longevity and durability are the ruling characteristics. The style of your home has already been defined and cost allowances have been established, but when you get down to
Cost may or may not be your primary concern, but it is still an important factor. Where do you cut corners? Our practice at GDC Construction is NOT to cut corners when selecting these primary materials. Quality products that button up the home and will stand the test of time are a priority. Interior components including flooring, walls, and counter tops include a vast assortment of materials such as tile, stone, wood, metal, and composites. Architectural trim, cabinetry, hardware, fixtures and appliances are integral to the quality and style of the home but are not critical to the integrity of the structure.
Interior materials do however reflect your choices more overtly, and they visibly define your relationship to your home. This personal selection process makes for huge quality and cost fluctuations and should be carefully considered in the initial budgeting phase of your project. In our next column, we will talk about the criteria for selecting interior materials, sources for finding top quality materials at the best price, and purchasing practices, which will enhance the value of your property. For any questions or comments regarding your new build or any construction project, please contact us at www.gdcconstruction. com, or come see us at GDC Construction, 1031 Silverado Street, La Jolla, CA 92037 858-551-5222.

CCA Creative Writing Club announces 'Jonathan Maberry Inspiring Teens Award' Canyon Crest Academy’s Creative Writing Club recently announced the creation of the Jonathan Maberry Inspiring Teens Award. This award will be presented to Jonathan Maberry at the 5th Annual Canyon Crest Academy Writers’ Conference on Saturday, Feb. 20, at Canyon Crest Academy. As the reputation for the CCA Writers' Conference continues to grow for its excellence in speakers and enthusiasm of student attendees, the CCA Creative Writing Club has decided to give this award annually to a professional writer who is dedicated to inspiring San Diego teens to: •pursue their artistic endeavors with heart, enthusiasm and integrity •give back to their community •actively improve their art The Club is naming this award after Jonathan Maberry because of his inspirational keynote and enthusiasm for the previous
conference, and his reputation in the industry for sharing knowledge with others. Maberry notes, “When I was a teen I had the great good fortune to meet and receive mentoring from a pair of literary giants – Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson. They not only encouraged me to always seek to become better at the craft of writing and the business of publishing, but they encouraged me to help other writers. Writers, they told me, should always help other writers. I took that lesson to heart. We should support one another, offer encouragement, share ideas and solutions, and help each other over the hurdles on the path to publishing success. “I’m always excited to meet young writers. I can’t wait to see what they’ve written and watch them evolve into the next generation of powerful storytellers. “Receiving this award is incredibly humbling. It is a shared celebration of the
creative drive and the power of community, and I am deeply honored.” The Creative Writing Club will also be honoring three authors who have spoken at all five writing conferences: T. Greenwood, Courtney Kilian and Laura Preble. They will be given the CCA Writers’ Conference Super Star Award. The CCA Writers’ Conference is the only free writing conference for high school students in the country. Because of the generosity of Gold Sponsors Chipotle and Summa Education, Silver Sponsors Hamilton College Consulting and Wells Fargo, and Conference Sponsor High Bluff Academy, as well as extensive fundraising by the Creative Writing Club, student attendees will receive a program, handouts, pen, paper and even a free lunch by Chipotle. Sponsorships and fundraising also covers stipends, travel expenses for out of
town speakers, facilities, and more. Ginny Beneke, CEO, Summa Education says, "For the past four years, Summa Education has been proud to support the CCA Writers Conference, as it shares our vision of inspiring students to further their passion for writing and literature." Chris Hamilton, CEO, Hamilton College Consulting explains, “I sponsor the CCA Writer's Conference because writing books is just as important as writing code.” The conference will take place in the Proscenium Theater and Media Center, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Feb. 20, at Canyon Crest Academy, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130. The event is for high school students only, and is free. High school students can learn more about the conference and pre-register at www.ccawritersconference2016.weebly.com.
