RSF stories to watch in 2014 BY KAREN BILLING The Country Friends celebrate 60 years Back in 1954, the Country Friends formed in Rancho Santa Fe to fulfill a need of helping San Diegans “one hand at a time.” The Country Friends has a constant presence in the village with its consignment shop, a white building with cheery green awnings on El Tordo. “It’s hard to pick one favorite thing about The County Friends, there are so many wonderful things,” said President Rhonda Tryon, making note of their volunteers that donate so much time and the fabulous finds in their shop that are sold for charitable funding. “I love seeing and feeling the joy our membership and volunteers have when we work together to make a difference for others in our communities. We really have a lot of fun in our group.” Proceeds from their shop, as well as from events such as their popular fall fashion show under the big tents on the lawn at The Inn, support a variety of local nonprofits — over the last year, for example, The Country Friends helped fund Canine Companions, supported a children’s nutritional health program at Mama’s Kitchen, the burn survivor support program at The Burn Institute, and helped purchase a new blood mobile for the San Diego Blood Bank. “The Country Friends is comprised of a group of dynamic women from the San

The new restaurant took over the old ballroom space, growing from about 130 to 260 seats spread among the scenic front patio, a luxe main dining area, inviting bar/lounge and private dining rooms. The Inn also opens its new day spa in July; the 3,000-square -foot spa took over space that was formerly offices and three hotel rooms. It has its own private entrance behind the hotel lobby.

Two local scientists honored by President Obama President Obama named 102 researchers as recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers Dec. 23, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. Government on emerging science and engineering professionals. The winners will receive their awards at a Washington, D.C., ceremony in the coming year. Two scientists affiliated with UC San Diego are included on that list: Dr. Quyen Nguyen from the Department of Health and Human Services, and Dr. Brian Head from the Department of Veterans Affairs. “The impressive achievements of these early-stage scientists and engineers are promising indicators of even greater successes ahead,” President Obama said. “We are grateful for their commitment to generating the scientific and technical advancements that will ensure America’s global leadership for many years to come.”

Assessor says most homeowners will see just ‘slight’ tax increases in 2014 — From County Reports When compared to the year 2012, single-family homes in San Diego County increased in market value by more than 20 percent in 2013. However, due to a limit imposed by Proposition 13, 71 percent of San Diego County residential property tax value will grow by less than one half of one percent. “I campaigned in 1978 when Proposition 13 passed. I support it because it limits value growth and in turn limits the unabated growth in taxes,” said San Diego County Assessor Ernie Dronenburg, Jr. “Under Proposition 13, values cannot grow more than 2 percent or the inflation rate, whichever is lower. The inflation rate for 2013 is less than one half of one percent. The factor is .454 of one percent. “This is the eighth time the inflation factor is less than the 2 percent limit and is the second lowest change since passage of Proposition 13 — 35 years ago.” He went on to say that if, for example, the assessed value of a home in this category is $350,000, then under the top adjustment factor of 2 percent, this homeowner would

be facing an increase in assessed value of $7,000. However, next year he will see an increase of $1,589 in assessed value. “There are more than 526,000 singlefamily properties in this Proposition 13 category in San Diego County,” Dronenburg said. Properties recently sold are not subject to an inflation increase. Also, properties that in the past have had assessments reduced below their Proposition 13 values, due to the fact their current market value was less than the Proposition 13 value, are evaluated annually. If the current market value as of January 1, 2014 is higher than it was in 2013, the property value will be restored to its former Proposition 13 value or to current market value, whichever is less. “This check on government easily converting inflation of home values to taxes is one of the most important parts of Proposition 13. It limits growth in taxes beyond a homeowner’s ability to pay,” Dronenburg said. For more information, visit www.sdarcc. com

Coast Guard seizes 7,100 pounds of marijuana and detains three smugglers BY JEANNE MCKINNEY The U.S. Coast Guard and its partner law enforcement agencies recently disabled another major marijuana smuggling operation for the second time in a month. According to a Coast Guard press release, on Dec. 10, a Coast Guard aircrew on a HC-130 Hercules spotted a 30-foot panga in international waters approximately 155 miles southwest of San Diego. Coast Guard Cutters Active and Edisto and a 45-foot Response Boat from Station San Diego pursued the fleeing panga, which refused to stop. A Coast Guard marksman from Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (operating from the Active) used warning shots, and then fired on the engines, obstructing the panga’s escape. Continuous aerial support was provided by an aircraft crew from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Air and Marine Multi-role Enforcement. Once intercepted, the 74 bales and three suspects were handed over to San Diego Marine Task Force law enforcement agencies. Capt Michael Eagle, 11th Coast

Several bales of marijuana seized from a panga sit on the deck of the Coast Guard Cutter Edisto Dec. 10 before being transferred over the San Diego Marine Task Force at Naval Base Point Loma. The 30-foot panga was intercepted approximately 155 miles south of San Diego. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Connie Gawrelli) Guard District Chief of Response, praised the successful operation, “In a little more than a week, Active has been involved in stopping two major shipments of illegal drugs.” On Dec. 2, Coast Guard crews interdicted a panga loaded with 201 bales of marijuana operated by two suspected smugglers. In both cases, Eagle said that Coast Guard aviators and boat crews “…used their law enforcement training, tools and techniques to safely apprehend five suspected smugglers and stop the delivery of more than six tons of marijuana.” Eagle adds, “The Coast Guard, along with our international, federal, state and local partners, will continue to work to counter these transnational criminal organizations and we will use every available resource...”

CCA student’s winning script to be RSF Foundation Annual Letter to the Community produced at Playwrights Project festival Letters to the Editor/Opinion

It has been our custom over the years to take this year-end opportunity to acknowledge and thank the many people and organizations in our community for the deep and profound commitment they have made to support the work of the RSF Foundation and the people we serve. The past year was a milestone for both the location and the growth of the Foundation. After 15 years in the center of the Village, we moved to our new offices in Rancho Santa Fe Plaza. It is with gratitude and appreciation that we acknowledge the generous donation by Union Bank of the office space that we occupied until this year. When we moved into the space, the RSF Foundation represented approximately $1.5 million in assets. Today, this number is nearly 80 times greater and growing. Without the support of the bank and a key presence in the Village, this would have been a much more difficult task. We salute the leadership of Union Bank, and Karen Moller and Gloria Barden in particular, for their vision over these 15 years. Another longtime partner of the Foundation is the Rancho Santa Fe Association. Based on a management agreement dating back to 1986, the Ewing Preserve has been cared for and maintained by the Association, on behalf of the Foundation. The Preserve is a 22acre parcel of open space named for long-time Rancho Santa Fe residents and donors. Daily use of the Ewing Preserve includes pedestrians, equestrians and mountain bikers … not to mention dogs. In partnership with the Association, the RSF Foundation has dedicated the Preserve as open space in perpetuity. We also want to recognize the value of the Rancho Santa Fe Review as our local source of news. With articles about the activities of the RSF Foundation, including the RSF Women’s Fund, The Patriots Initiative and charitable giving, The Review and its entire staff has supported the Foundation for more than three decades. We applaud their commitment to local news stories and reporting. But even with these three great organizations, it is the people of our community who represent the essence of the Ranch. People helping people, people bringing their time and talents to serve on nonprofit boards and all of those whose personal resources are committed to assisting those less fortunate than themselves … we salute you above all. It has been our privilege to work with the Rancho Santa Fe community for more than 32 years, and we are committed to continuing this work for generations to come. Robert Burns has been attributed with the words to the now famous last words of the year — Auld lang syne. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? We think not … On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff of the Foundation, we offer our thanks for your support in 2013 and extend our best wishes for happiness, health and prosperity in 2014. Christy Wilson, Executive Director

Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) student Devyn Krevat, 17, was one of the winners of the California Young Playwrights Contest for ages 18 and under. Playwrights Project will produce its 29th annual festival of “Plays by Young Writers” at The Sheryl and Harvey White Stage in the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center at The Old Globe on March 6-16. The festival will feature winning scripts from its California Young Playwrights Contest for ages 18 and under. Contest winners were selected from 165 submissions by students statewide. Four scripts will receive full professional productions, and five scripts will receive staged readings in this highly regarded festival of new voices. Devyn Krevat won a staged reading of her first play, “Case of the Missing Pencil Tips” in 2007, when she was in sixth grade. Now a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, she’s done it again. This time Devyn’s play “Fairy Tale” will receive a full production. In this smart and humorous tale, the audience sees what happens when a narrator fights for control as the characters hijack his story and these traditional fairy tale characters defy their prescribed roles. All contest submissions were evaluated by theatre professionals who volunteered their time and expertise. Final judges in the selection process included Deborah Salzer (founder of Playwrights Project), Martin Benson (founding co-artistic director of South Coast Rep), Stephen Metcalfe (director and screenwriter of films such as Pretty Woman and The Marrying Man), and Delicia Turner Sonnenberg (artistic director of MOXIE Theatre). Program Manager and Producer Derek Charles Livingston spearheaded the evaluation process, which focused on a sense of truth, imagination, fresh use of language, and grasp of dramatic structure.

DMV reminds motorists of new 2014 laws The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is reminding motorists of some of the new laws that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2014 (unless otherwise noted). Bicycles: Passing Distance. AB 1371 (Bradford), known as the Three Feet for Safety Act, will require a motor vehicle driver passing a bicycle that is proceeding in the same direction to pass with no less than 3 feet between any part of the vehicle and any part of the bicycle or driver. When three feet is not possible, the motor vehicle must slow to a reasonable and prudent speed and only pass when no danger is present to the bicyclist. Failing to do so can incur a fine, regardless of a collision or not. This law will take effect Sept. 16, 2014. Clean Air Vehicle Decals/“HOV Stickers.” AB 266 (Yee) and SB 286 (Blumefield), together extend sunset dates for low emission, zero emission vehicles to operate in high occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV) without meeting occupancy requirements to Jan. 1, 2019. Commercial Driver’s License. AB 1047 (Linder) will allow the DMV to conduct the commercial drive test for the holder of an out-of-state commercial learner’s permit. The department would electronically transfer the information to the motor vehicle department in the applicant’s state of residence. AB 1047 also modifies the license class definitions to require a driver operating a bus weighing more than 26,000 pounds to hold a commercial Class B license and a driver operating a bus weighing 26,000 pounds or less to hold a commercial Class C license.

DMV Vehicle Registration Pilot Program. SB 806 (Hueso) authorizes DMV to establish a pilot program to evaluate the use of alternatives to stickers, tabs, license plates and registration cards, subject to certain requirements. It will also enable the DMV to experiment with electronic license plates, as well as facilitate DMV’s ability to explore cost-effective alternatives to California’s traditional metal license plate, plastic-coated registration stickers, and paper registration cards. Registration and Vehicle Transfers Between Family Members. AB 443 (Lowenthal) prohibits the transfer of ownership of a vehicle to a relative or a revocable living trust until all parking or toll-violation fines and penalties reported to the DMV are paid by the transferee. Teen Drivers. SB 194 (Galgiani) will prohibit a person who is under age 18 from using an electronic wireless communications device to write, send, or read a textbased communication while driving, even if it is equipped with a hands-free device. Veterans License Plates. AB 244 (Bonilla) Requires the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) to sponsor a veterans’ special interest license plate and requires the DMV to issue the veterans’ plate if CalVet meets the current statutory requirements. This law creates, in addition to the current Honoring Veterans design of the Veteran’s Organization Plate, a new program to reissue the Veteran design that was issued prior to Jan. 1, 2010. These plates are available to all vehicle owners. The Department of Veterans Affairs must secure 7,500 pre-

‘Naughty List’ released by North Pole Patrol— RSF native thriving as songwriter in Nashville

What happens when three hit country songwriters get together to write and record some brand new Christmas music? A fresh, big band sound that’s a cross between The Andrews Sisters, Ella Fitzgerald and Rosemary Clooney, of course. Rancho Santa Fe native Jennifer Denmark, Emily Shackelton and Melissa Fuller affectionately call themselves the North Pole Patrol. Their debut single, “Naughty List,” recently shipped to radio. Denmark is better known to locals as Jennifer Johnson, who attended the Ranch school from fourth grade to eighth, and then graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 1997. She moved to Nashville in 2007 to follow her dream to be a songwriter. She is currently enjoying that dream at Curb Records. “We all love Christmas, and particularly Christmas music, but we noticed that modern Christmas songs just sound like pop songs,” said founding North Pole Patrol member Denmark. “When we think of Christmas music, the greats like ‘White Christmas’ and ‘The Christmas Song’ come to mind. Our goal was to create modern Christmas songs with throwback lyrics and melodies to create that timeless feel similar to the songs everyone has been singing along with for decades. I think we did that.” “We also wanted to make the songs relatable to holiday traditions people actually practice,” Shackelton added. “Most people don’t roast chestnuts on an open fire, so we added catchy, sing-songy woo’s and ooh’s to sing along to while ‘Bakin’ Cookies.’” “Naughty List” was written by Denmark, Fuller

North Pole Patrol: (L-R) Emily Shackelton, Jennifer Denmark, Melissa Fuller. and Tim Jackson, and produced by Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer Chad Carlson (Taylor Swift, Trisha Yearwood, Jewel). Fans can add the single to their future Christmas collection at iTunes, Amazon, iHeartRadio, Spotify and other online outlets. North Pole Patrol released a six-song EP of original Christmas music in 2010 called “Season of Love,” which is available at Amazon and iTunes. A full album of original Christmas music is in the works, and will be released next year. Denmark, who co-wrote the new Hunter Hayes single, “Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me,” with Dave Brainard and Hayes, has been performing in trios since she was 13 years old. From doo-wop to country, she has played it all in three-part harmony. Her love of big band-era music stemmed from dinner at a steakhouse when she was 15 years old. “I remember hearing Ella (Fitzgerald) playing through the restaurant, and I was so enamored with her voice I had the waitress go find out who was singing,” said Denmark, who is currently ranked No. 42 on the Top 60 Country Songwriters Chart. By noon the following day, Denmark owned every Fitzgerald album Tower Records had on its shelves. Ten years later, Denmark found herself writing country music fulltime in Nashville. In November 2009, she wrote her first Christmas song, “Candy Cane Lane,” while in traffic on her way home from work. The song was recorded by hit Christian group Point of Grace in 2010 and became the catalyst for the creation of the North Pole Patrol.

RSF couple’s Moyer Foundation camps help children impacted by loss of a loved one and family addiction BY KRISTINA HOUCK Erin Metcalf had one wish: to visit her favorite team, the Seattle Mariners. In 1998, the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted her wish, and the 15-year-old cancer patient went to dinner with Jamie Moyer, at the time a Mariners pitcher and a Seattle fan favorite, and his wife, Karen Moyer. Erin died two years later, and the All-Star pitcher has since retired. But Erin’s memory lives on because of the Moyers. In 2000, the couple launched the Moyer Foundation to provide comfort, hope and healing to children affected by loss and family addiction. Named in memory of Erin, the foundation in 2002 created Camp Erin, a bereavement camp for children. “Jamie and I are the type of people who fulfill that wish, but then we’re also thinking, ‘How else can we help?’” said Karen Moyer, who now lives in Rancho Santa Fe with her family. “We did that as people and now we do that as a foundation.” The foundation now has 41 Camp Erin locations across the United States, including one in every Major League Baseball city. More than 10,000 children have attended the camps since the first Camp Erin took place in 2002, in Erin’s home state of Washington. In addition to Camp Erin, the foundation launched Camp Mariposa for children affected by addiction in their families. Both camps offer traditional camp activities, as well as education and support that helps children understand

and express their feelings, and learn to process what they are going through. “There are kids who are distressed because of grief and living with addiction under their roof,” said Jamie Moyer, who recently released his first book, “Just Tell Me I Can’t,” which was co-authored with Larry Platt. “How do you be a voice for yourself? We’re trying to be that voice and educate kids and adults about grief and how it can have a longlasting, sometimes detrimental effect on your life.” In 2013, Camp Erin San Diego held its first session in partnership with San Diego’s Elizabeth Hospice for 92 campers. Camp is held once a year, with the next session set for June 6-8, 2014. Run in partnership with San Diego Youth Services, Camp Mariposa San Diego held its first session in Au-

All were up-to-date with their vaccines except

Jamie and Karen Moyer with campers. Courtesy photos gust 2013. The camp is held five times each year, with the next sessions Feb. 7-9 and March 14-16, 2014. “When you have the history of 12 years of camps and you have the privilege to visit camps, you know the magic that happens at camps,” Karen Moyer said. “It happens immediately when the kids arrive and they come basically as strangers. No matter how tragically they lost their loved one, they bond and empower each other, and are immediately learning and growing, healing and coping with life.” “It’s great to have been able to create the camps, but I for the ill person in Rancho Bernardo, according to the HHSA. A typical case of pertussis starts with a cough and runny nose for one to two weeks, followed by weeks to months of rapid coughing fits that sometimes end with a whooping sound. Fever, if present, is usually mild. Antibiotics can lessen the severity of symptoms and prevent the spread of disease to others. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children get vaccine doses at the following ages: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months, and 4 to 6 years. Health officials also

recommend that preteens and adults get a booster. The ultimate goal is to prevent deaths that can result as a complication of pertussis. Infants younger than a year old are especially vulnerable because they do not have the full five-dose series of pertussis vaccinations. Parents can obtain the vaccine series and the booster shot for themselves and their children through their primary care physicians. Local retail pharmacies offer vaccinations for a fee, and anyone who is not covered by a medical insurance plan can get the shot from a county public health center at no cost.

think it’s even greater to see the kids benefitting from the camps in a positive way,” Jamie Moyer said. “It’s exciting watching them grow and learn, and share and make friends — all the things that take place at camp.” It costs about $500 to send a child to camp. Camp sessions are free, so the Moyer Foundation raises funds for programs and initiatives through special events, corporate partnerships and individual donations. The foundation also relies on volunteers. More than 70 volunteers supported Camp Erin San Diego this year. The public will have the opportunity to witness “the magic” in “One Last Hug (and a few smooches): Three Days at Grief Camp,” a short film exploring how children grieve. The documentary, which features Camp Erin Los Angeles, is scheduled to air on HBO in 2014. “You get a real sense of what happens — the magic,” Karen Moyer said. “You see these kids before camp and you see them six months after camp and it’s beautiful. “The Moyer Foundation and our mission is strong and powerful, helping lots of kids here in San Diego and all across the country. It will be for a very, very long time.” For more information about the Moyer Foundation, visit www.moyerfoundation.org.

R. Roger Rowe is ‘Kind to the Core’ this holiday season!

And the winner is... By Marnie Burnett Usually when one thinks of school pride and competition our mind goes to the sound of screeching shoes on the gym’s wood floor, the swish of the basket and the sound of the buzzer. I see in my mind the goalie that dives to make the amazing save or the volleyball player who jumps high and spikes the ball straight down. We are used to competition in school and know that familiar taste of school pride that comes with victory. This holiday season, I have experienced a new type of school pride resulting from competition. Our school adopted a “Kind to the Core” slogan this year and our student body recently got together and brainstormed ideas on how to become more “kind to the core.” Together, we decided that collecting cans from our school families and donating them to the San Diego Food Bank would be a fun and meaningful opportunity for not only the student body, but also our community. We announced our drive and made posters to get our students excited. We asked students to bring as many cans they could to their first period classroom. From there, the student council went from room to room collecting the donated cans. After the first few days, we had the idea of a competition with a 1st place prize to increase donations. To get more cans, we needed a prize for the students to look forward to, so we decided to promise the winning class InN-Out burgers. After this announcement, our average canned food donation raised dramatically. Impressive bar charts were hung in the hallways to clearly show which class had the lead. At the end of the week, we tallied up the total cans collected. We counted over 3,000 cans! Mrs. Schnyder’s class came in first place with around 800 cans. This was very eye opening to the student council to see how much fun we could have with a competition to be kind. This week-long, fairly simple competition produced thousands of meals for the needy people in our community. Not only did the results impress our student body, but it impressed the San Diego Food Bank, as well. The Food Bank told us that we had donated more cans of food than they had ever seen from a school. That was a great moment of school pride for me. In sports there is always a winner and loser as the champion brings home the trophy and pride to the school. Our trophy in this experience was knowing the impact we had on the community with just one week of focusing our efforts in service. Everyone came out a winner. We hope our school triggers a chain reaction of the same! On this page are photos of R. Roger Rowe students preparing donated food for pick-up by the San Diego Food Bank (San Diego Food Bank representative in photos below).

Award-winning author Jonathan Maberry thrilled with new lifestyle on West Coast

By Joe Tash After spending most of his life in Pennsylvania, author Jonathan Maberry absolutely loves his new digs in Del Mar. He receives “hate mail” from his friends back home when he posts photos of himself and his wife walking on the beach, and is reveling in the Southern California lifestyle. “On Christmas Day, I was watching whales and dolphins from my living room. I’m pretty sure I like it a whole lot,” Maberry said. Maberry, 55, moved to Del Mar in late October from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, where he grew up in a tough, urban neighborhood. Not only did they desire a warmer climate, but the couple wanted to be close to their son, who moved to Pacific Beach after graduating from college, and to be near the movie and television industry. Although he’s been writing full time since 2006, his resume is anything but typical for a literary type. For many years, he wrote freelance magazine articles while working at such day jobs as a bodyguard, bouncer and self-defense instructor. His first novel, “Ghost Road Blues,” was published in 2006, and he’s now working on his 20th novel. He’s written across such genres as horror, science fiction, mysteries and thrillers, for audiences ranging from children to teenagers to adults. He’s also written comic books, and two of his novels have been optioned for movies. A comic book series he conceived, called “V Wars,” is being considered for a television series. Along the way, he’s picked up accolades such as the Bram Stoker Award for horror writing, and his books have been sold in more than two dozen countries. His childhood was anything but smooth — he and his siblings were physically abused by their father, and Maberry said he turned to martial arts to defend himself. He also read voraciously as a means of pulling himself out of poverty. “I wanted to get tough enough to survive it and smart enough to get out and that’s what I did,” he said. He credits a middle school librarian with introducing

Jonathan Maberry

him to a writers group, where he met authors Richard Matheson and Ray Bradbury, both of whom advised and encouraged him. Matheson, in particular, told him to “know more than you are taught,” which led him to hone his critical thinking skills, useful both in life and in his writing. While Maberry did study journalism at Temple University in Philadelphia, he dropped out of college to care for his ailing father, in spite of the abuse he had received as a child. He never went back to complete his degree, but instead continued his educa-

tion on his own, haunting bookstores and “reading everything.” “Code Zero,” the next novel in Maberry’s Joe Ledger series, comes out in March, and he is planning an event at the Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego to mark the occasion. He’s also attending a book signing for a short-story anthology, “Dark Duets,” on Jan. 24 at Mysterious Galaxy, and his new comic book series, “Bad Blood,” was published Jan. 1 by Dark Horse Comics. Patrick Heffernan, operations manager at Mysteri-

ous Galaxy, said in an email that Maberry is a “great guy,” whose books are quite popular with the store’s customers. “We are proud to now call ourselves his hometown bookstore,” Heffernan said. Maberry’s books are available in print, e-book and audio editions at bookstores and online booksellers. He writes every day, usually for eight hours, taking regular breaks to post on social media sites. He estimated that he writes about 3,000 words per day, which adds up to about one million words for publication

each year. “I believe writer’s block is a myth. You never meet a journalist with writer’s block,” he said. Maberry weaves elements of his own life into his work, as well as scientific themes. To research his books, he’s been known to go on ride-alongs with law enforcement, consult with military officials, and interview scientists. “People know my science is hard core and it’s accurate,” he said. When he’s not typing on his computer or iPad, he enjoys walking on the beach with his wife, Sara Jo West, and the couple’s rescue dog, Rosie. He’s also on the road a lot, speaking at writers conferences, school libraries, and conventions for fans of horror, fantasy, science fiction and mystery books. He hopes to participate in next year’s Comic-Con event in San Diego, one of the largest gatherings of its kind in the U.S. Visit Maberry’s website/ blog and sign up for his free newsletter at www.jonathanmaberry.com; www. facebook.com/jonathanmaberry; www.twitter.com/ jonathanmaberry

Music Machine: Local resident Nash Howe produces and records debut album BY ASHLEY MACKIN When local resident Nash Howe started at UC San Diego he was a declared biology major. He had never sung or played music before. But with a simple and unexpected gift from a friend, his life changed direction. He released his debut album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lake Water Stillâ&#x20AC;? on Dec. 13, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My friend gave me this large-diaphragm AKG Condenser microphone and while I was playing with it, I wanted to see what sounds I could make with it,â&#x20AC;? Howe said. Over the span of six months, he recorded different sounds; melodies, using instruments such as guitar and piano; and lyrics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to be anything except me playing around, but it grew into this 11-track album,â&#x20AC;? he said. A lot of what ended up working came at the hands of trial and error. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I probably recorded 50 songs, some were good and some were bad.â&#x20AC;?

(Above) Nash Howe; (Right) The cover for Nash Howeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selfproduced debut album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lake Water Still.â&#x20AC;? Courtesy photos

Because his music is personal, he said his biggest challenge has been getting the final product exactly how he envisioned it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew how I wanted it to sound and then heard how it actually sounded,â&#x20AC;? he said, learning an important lesson in accepting imperfection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music will never be perfect.â&#x20AC;? Though imperfect, Howe was still proud of his work, and wanted to share it with friends. So he organized the album on ReverbNation.com, a site for unsigned musicians to showcase their work. Through Reverb Nation, his songs have been played more than 69,000 times, his videos 37,000 times, and he has some 800 registered fans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all in less than a month. To use Reverb Nation, 50 percent of all sales must go to charity. Howeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity is Love Hope Strength, which uses concerts to enlist bone marrow donors. Donors have their cheeks swabbed to determine tissue type. From there, the data is entered into the National Marrow Donor Program registry in anonymous form, so doctors can search for a donor for their patients. To date, Love Hope Strength has listed more than 52,000 donors and matched 764 of them with patients in need. Sorting artists by area, Howe is ranked (as of press deadline) the No. 2 artist in La Jolla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lake Water Stillâ&#x20AC;? is classified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;electronic jazz with easy listening guitar melodies,â&#x20AC;? and is available for free download (as a complete album or by song or purchased to help Love Hope Strength) at ReverbNation.com/NashHowe

The track â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Road,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is about my change from a biology major at UCSD to singing on my own and making music and finding what I really love to do. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the road you are on and there is the road you want to be on. For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, but for somebody else, it would be something else.â&#x20AC;?

Author has 10 steps for writing a memoir; Book signing to be held Jan. 26

By Linda Hutchison If you’ve ever thought of writing your life story, but don’t know where to start or if anyone would want to read it, then local author and teacher Kay Sanger has written the perfect book for you. It is called “Write Your Memoir in 10 Steps: From First Ideas to Finished Book.” After teaching memoir-writing groups for 10 years, Sanger said she decided to pull her many ideas together. “I had many students ask me to write things down, to be more explicit,” she said. “My book is really practical, a hands-on approach. When people pick it up, they think, yes, I can do this.” Sanger’s book helps would-be memoirists determine why they want to write, what they want to write about, how to deepen their stories, then revise and publish. The 10 steps are backed up with exercises, examples and encouragement. “Writing a memoir helps both the writer and the reader,” Sanger explained. It helps the writer to recover memories and then to reflect on them, put them in perspective. “You can find out a lot about yourself by writing a narrative, more so than just thinking,” she said. And it helps the reader by offering inspiration and a connection with the past. “Many people don’t think others would be interested in their stories, but to them I say, wouldn’t you just love to have a memoir written by your grandmother? What was life like then? What family stories could she have told that would shed light on your parents’ personalities and your ingrained values?” By writing a memoir, we can leave something behind for our children, grandchildren, even our community and business colleagues. Sanger is more than well-qualified to help others uncover their memories and find their voices. Her illustrious career spans 40 years and includes teaching deaf children to

Kay Sanger

speak, writing travel articles and guidebooks, setting up museum exhibits and uncovering artifacts as an archeologist. She has written seven books, including “Easter Island: The Essential Guide,” “Southern California for Kids,” and “Discovering Prehistoric Rock Art.” Inspired early by Helen Keller’s memoirs, Sanger earned a bachelor’s degree in speech/communications from Purdue University, then a master’s degree in education from USC for before teaching deaf children in Los Angeles, Sydney, Australia and London. While living in Sydney, her husband, journalist Tom Sanger, encouraged her to write about her experiences and so began a 30-year freelance travel-writing career. Her love of other cultures was further fueled by a threeand-a-half-month trip she and her husband took by bus from Kathmandu, Nepal to London in the early 1970s. The Overland Route followed the steps of Alexander the Great and stopped in several countries, including India, Iran, Af-

ghanistan, Turkey, and Greece before the Sangers bought a car in Germany and headed to London. After a brief stint in London, Sanger and her husband returned to Los Angeles, and had a daughter and a son. Fascinated by all the cultures she’d seen and written about, she returned to college, earning a master’s degree in anthropology/archeology at UCLA. She has participated in several archeological projects on Easter Island and in Costa Rica, Mexico and Central California. She also worked for two major museums in Los Angeles – the UCLA Fowler Museum and the J. Paul Getty Trust – writing public relations and marketing materials, and running educational workshops. In 1997, Sanger and her husband moved to La Jolla, where she has continued to write and teach others how to write. In addition to “The World I Live In” by Helen Keller, Sanger says her favorite memoirs are “The Road from Coorain” by Jill Ker Conway, and “Wild: From Lost to Found in the Pacific Crest Trail” by Cheryl Strayad. That book inspired her to complete several long-distance hikes, including a recent 70-mile walk on England’s Cotswold Way to celebrate her 70th birthday. As for writing her own memoir, Sanger has two in mind: one about her career, and another about the trip she took 40 years ago from Kathmandu to Europe, where she especially enjoyed the people and sights in Afghanistan. “I took plenty of notes, but at the time no one wanted to know about those areas, they were too remote to sell,” she said.

Local author shares how to ‘grow healthy thoughts’

By Kristina Houck The “Triangle House” is perhaps Del Mar’s most famous home. Located off Coast Highway, the uniquely shaped structure has been featured in national magazines and television programs, including HGTV’s “Extreme Homes.” But it hasn’t always been easy living in the 688-square-foot home, according to Del Mar resident Marlene Dominy. Her husband, architect Lewis Dominy, designed the house. “It was his dream to have this house on this little tiny lot,” said Dominy, who has been married for 47 years. The couple has two adult sons and one grandson. “We were only going to be here for a couple of years. Now, after all these years, we’re still here. That, in part, gave birth to my book.” Recently published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, “Growing Healthy Thoughts” is a self-help book that reminds readers about their potential and their acceptance by God. A Los Angeles native, Dominy moved to Del Mar with her husband in 1972.

valuable children of God,” she said. “We decided somehow that we get our value from where we live, what we drive and how much money we make. I’ve seen people become very disappointed when those things do not happen in their life. “This is the book I needed to read. I was starting to go down that negative road myself.” “Growing Healthy Thoughts” is Dominy’s first book. The 184-page book is available at tatepublishing.com/bookstore, barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com. “I wrote it as a help for people,” she said. “You can’t always change your circumstances, but you can change the way you think about them. “If you know people who are struggling and going through a tough time and need a booster shot, I think it can be helpful. I didn’t do this to make money. I did this because I needed it, and I believe there are other people out there that could benefit from it.”

Marlene Dominy As the wife of an award-winning architect, Dominy always dreamed of a big home where she could have room for art and crafts, and space to entertain her family and friends. The couple moved from a large Del Mar home into the Triangle House when it was completed in 1997. With little space for hobbies, Dominy began reading. She also began “plucking pearls” from her readings and started a journal.

Photo courtesy of domusstudio architecture “Oftentimes I would find the same things repeated coming from different directions and different sources,” said Dominy, a longtime member of Solana Beach Presbyterian Church. “My faith is a Christian faith, but I‘ve realized it doesn’t really matter where you’re coming from. There are certain universal truths out there.” From issues with her home to the daily stresses of life, Dominy used journaling as therapy. Most of the time, she said, it is easy for people to get sidetracked and distracted from the true meaning of life. “We’ve really lost the ability to see our true identity as

Local kicker Ryan Sanborn selected to play at the 2014 Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl All American Games (AAG), Football University (FBU), and Eastbay Sports, recently announced that kicker Ryan Sanborn, who plays for Torrey Pines Pop Warner and Francis Parker Middle School, has been selected to play at the 2014 Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl, taking place Sunday, Jan. 5, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Sanborn was presented with his official game jersey at Francis Parker Middle School on Dec. 20, 2013. Sanborn was perhaps one of the finest kickers on the field this past year. Sanborn has the physical attributes to play much beyond his current age group and is the nationally top ranked 7th grade kicker as per the National Camp Series rankings. He can be a difference maker on special teams. For the past three years, the nation’s top 7th, 8th, and 9th graders have joined in the activities of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl to compete in the Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl. The Eastbay Youth All American Bowl already has become the most important youth football all-star event in the country, and it was recently the focus of the nationally-syndicated sports show “Sports Stars of Tomorrow.” Many of the top players in the Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl have already received college interest and national attention from media outlets.

Ryan Sanborn — 2014 Eastbay Youth All-American. In January 2014, the Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl will consist of three games: an East vs. West 7th grade game; 8th grade game; and 9th grade game. The games are played in the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, the same field that the U.S. Army All-Americans play on one day before. The Youth Bowls are webcasted live on www.footballuniversity.org and www.allamericangames.tv. Prior to game day, the Eastbay Youth All-Americans’ week consists of practices, a skills competition, and breakout sessions with Hall of Famers, as well as current and former NFL stars and celebrities such as legendary high school football coach Herman Boone.

Joy of Christmas at Horizon Prep

The Horizon Prep 1st-6th graders and Middle School Performing Arts Electives students rang in Christmas with song and dance with “The Giving Nativity Musical.” The script was written and directed by Horizon Prep Music Teacher Dawn Zurcher. The storyline: What happens when a group of middle school students get together in the Student Ambassador Leadership Team room to volunteer for a service project? Their imaginations come to life as they try “to figure out what gifts Jesus would have received from the animals who were at His birth. Their day dreams lead them into discovering the reality that Jesus is the Gift of all Gifts!” Visit www.horizonprep.org; Courtesy photos

Coach Hargreaves said he feels that the program has a great deal of young talent coming through the ranks in spite of the fewest number of freshmen trying out for TP Soccer in his 17-year tenure as head coach. “A winning start is always the dream way to begin the season and having all three squads start as champions is awesome,” Hargreaves said. Coach Hargreaves went on to say that, “All three levels have talent and our program always prides itself on team chemistry and a winning mentality.

The World Circus Comes Alive at Diegueño Country School

Diegueño Country School students performed a spectacular show Dec. 20 — The World Circus, the first circus performance in Diegueño’s 40 years of operation. All of the classes joined together to present an extravaganza of intricately choreographed ringmasters, acrobats, dancers, singers, jugglers, clowns, and impressive acts. In essence, the performance was a child’s version of the Cirque with unicycles, juggling balls, hula hoops, spinning plates, and an enthralling magic show. Guided by the coordinated direction of Bonnie Johnston and Penny Hawkins, the school’s theater and music directors seamlessly integrated all elements of theatre into an extraordinary elementary school production. Their devotion to a supreme product and a meaningful learning experience for the kindergarten through sixth-grade students was evident. In addition to rehearsing for weeks while continuing their advanced academic studies, the students had specialized training by the school’s dance teacher and two circus professionals. The children were very excited to entertain a captive audience with a sophisticated and delightful show. The school is currently enrolling for the 2014-2015 school year. Private tours are available by appointment. Photos/Jon Clark; For photos online, visit www.rsfreview.com

In the CCA game, Thomas Mackey scored off assists from Jake Heilbrunn and Austin Nicholson to lead the Falcons. Koeneke had two saves.

Local student publishes collection of short stories

BY KRISTINA HOUCK While other kids are watching television or playing video games, Amrita Vetticaden is writing short stories. The local girl has been dreaming up characters and plots since she first learned to write. “When I learned how to write, I started writing little short stories,” said Amrita, a seventh grader at Carmel Valley Middle School. “When I learned how to type, it was like a whole new world. There’s like 1,000 stories sitting inside the computer.” Now 12 years old, Amrita is sharing her favorite tales in her self-published book, “MooMoo the Grass Hunter & Friends.” From heroic cows to goats in spaceships, the collection of short stories contains 88 pages of adventures. Using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Amrita also illustrated the pictures. “It’s mainly about animals doing heroic things such as climbing Mount Everest and saving the planet,” Amrita said. Passionate about animals, most of Amrita’s short stories feature critters, big and small. Proceeds from the book will benefit the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, as well as UNESCO’s Programme for the Education of Children in Need. “I really love animals,” said Amrita, who has a betta fish named Clowny. “I would like to help the animals that are without a home because they deserve homes. It’s not right for animals to be out there without any care.” “MooMoo the Grass Hunter” is Amrita’s favorite story in the book. The last and longest piece is about heroic cows named MooMoo and Mooey McMooson. She started writing the tale when she was just 7 years old. “Writing is just so fun,” she said. “There’s not any set thing that you have to do. For math, there’s only one right answer. For writing, you can do whatever you want. It’s limitless.” When she’s not writing, Amrita likes to read, draw,

to put it to good use,” said Santosh Vetticaden, Amrita’s father. “I think it’s wonderful that she can spread happiness in the world by using her books as an instrument.” For more information about “MooMoo the Grass Hunter & Friends,” or to purchase the book, visit xlibrishub.com/wd/us/142798/

Amrita also enjoys spending time with friends and family, including her 9-year-old sister Divya and her 7-yearold brother Vinay. Already writing her second book, Amrita plans to be a physician and best-selling author. She also hopes to have her own farm. “She’s always loved writing,” said Sonia Vetticaden, Amrita’s mother. “When I saw the book, tears came to my eyes. I know she’s happy with it and it makes me happy because it’s something that she really enjoys doing.” “I’m delighted that she has this ability and she wants

REVIEW

continued from page 1 resign in August, replaced by interim Mayor Todd Gloria. August •Horizon Prep becomes the only high school in Rancho Santa Fe. The private Christian school completed a major renovation to its campus on El Apajo, graduating from the charming green and white cottage portables of its old campus into the new campus of Santa Barbara-style buildings. In March, Horizon’s signature portables left the site for good as grading began on the next phase of the campus. Construction began by the end of the year on the last two classroom buildings. • Rancho Santa Fe’s Cielo Village reinvents itself as an event center. It is the hope that the Italian-style village that has been largely vacant since it was completed nearly seven years ago will become a new spot for weddings, corporate events and catering. A renovation of the site included the creation of a new executive suite, chapel, ballroom, restaurant and café. The café, Cielo Bistro, is open to the public, serving coffee, breakfast and lunch. September • The Country Friends’ 58th annual Art of Fashion show was held on Sept. 19, featuring an after party with the event’s first beer garden. All proceeds from the event benefited 30 local charities such as the Burn Institute, Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center and YWCA’s Becky’s House for victims of domestic abuse. • The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation launches The Patriots Initiative (TPI), a military program formerly known as The Armed Forces Interest Group. TPI will focus on identifying the most promising and most productive charitable agencies that help enlisted military personnel, wounded warriors and their families. “The RSF Foundation has been actively engaged with this philanthropy for years, and saw the need to simplify this process for inspired donors who want their gifts to be truly meaningful,” said Christy Wilson, RSF Foundation executive director. • The Santa Fe Irrigation District holds a workshop to discuss merging with an adjacent water district to save money. An adhoc committee is formed to explore consolidation and meetings are scheduled with the San Dieguito Water District and Olivenhain Municipal Water District. In November, the water board learned that San Dieguito is not interested in a merger at this time, while Olivenhain is open to the full range of potential collaboration,

Rancho Santa Fe Review from a merger to partnerships on specific projects. •Canyon Crest Academy dedicates its new track and athletic field, SDUHSD’s first major project completed with Proposition AA funds. In October, work begins on new baseball and softball fields, lacrosse and soccer fields, concession stands and the school’s brand new stadium, to be finished in time for the beginning of the 2014-15 school year. Altogether, the improvements represent a $20 million undertaking. October •RSF School District earns its highest district Academic Performance Index (API) score in a year in which 82 percent of San Diego school districts saw drops in their API results. For 2012-13, RSF had a district-wide API of 957 which, although it represents a three-point drop, places them ahead of neighboring Del Mar Union School District’s API of 954 and Solana Beach School District’s 936. The elementary school’s API dropped six points, coming off a 13-point growth in 2011-12. The middle school, however, scored its highest API ever with a 957. • The RSF Association received the results of the Club Mark survey conducted earlier in 2013, which aimed to measure demographics and opinions of the RSF Covenant and RSF Golf Club, and help both develop a road map for the future. The main strategic implications from the survey were that 29 percent of the demographic is over 70 years old, and in 10 years or less 61 percent will be over 70; there is a decline in golf membership (from a peak of 680, it is now down to 512) and a decline in capture rate for new members. The survey also showed that younger members of the community want lifestyle amenities at the RSF Golf Club, such as a fitness center, spa or pool. November • The RSF Association board votes to change the Art Jury name to the Covenant Design Review Committee to help soften its image and give it a more modern name. The Art Jury (and its name) was established in 1927, overseeing building, landscaping and grading permits, and sticking closely to the Rancho Santa Fe Protective Covenant’s bylaws, regulations and guidelines. Those regulations will remain the same. • The RSF School District board approved a proposal from Public Policy Strategies to gather feedback on the possibility of building a new school gym, making room for additional courts and space for wrestling and dance programs. A new facility, depending on how big it is, would cost

about $10-15 million, or $20 million for a more elaborate design. A district-wide survey would help gauge interest and whether a general obligation bond to help pay for the construction would be feasible. • Planning for a farmers market on La Gracia and in the village park hit a roadblock when the RSF Association found out that a market would not be a permitted use in the park. The board asked Janet Lawless Christ to come back with an alternative location, such as Avenida de Acacias, but they learned in December that the market would conflict with the Secret Car Club that meets there on weekends. Yet another location and logistical concerns need to be worked out before the RSF Association would approve the market. • The RSF Senior Center celebrated 25 years of service to the community. The RSF Senior Center had humble beginnings —starting in 1988 at a metal desk in the corner of the Rancho Santa Fe Library. By 2000, the Senior Center had outgrown its space in the basement of the library and through donations were able to purchase its current Lilian Ricedesigned home, the ColleyHilton House on La Gracia in 2002. • The RSF Association board went from its traditional twice-monthly meeting schedule to just once a month. The decision was made due to the recent limited agendas and the time required for staff to prepare for each meeting. The board reserved the right to hold a second meeting when necessary. • As 12 organized bicycle events came through the Ranch this year, including close to 800 bicyclists in April’s Tour de Cure race, the RSF Association contacted the county to have more advance notice of events, and more input on potential routes for participants’ safety and to limit impacts on residents. In November, the county held a meeting with race organizers and RSF Association representatives with the goal of improving the planning and notification process. December • The Patriots Initiative released The Directory, a “milestone event for philanthropic donors that changes the way charitable support will be directed to assist America’s armed forces members.” The Patriots Initiative is The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation’s focused outreach program for inspired giving by its donors supporting American armed forces’ needs. It has established itself since 2008 as a recognized clearinghouse for knowledge, facts and philanthropic resources support-

ing the nation’s military families and veterans, alike. Reflecting the dynamic nature of this field of interest, TPI will routinely update The Directory as new programs and unique causes arise locally, regionally and nationally, or as agency reevaluations need to occur. To see The Directory and to learn more about The Patriots Initiative, visit the website www.thepatriotsinitiative.org or call (858) 7560358. Follow TPI on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ thepatriotsinitiative on Twitter at www.twitter.com/ TPI2013 and on Pinterest at www.pinterest.com/TPI2013 • The RSF Association discusses the possibility of changing the RSF Golf Club and voting membership rights for condo owners. Currently, there are two voting and Golf Club memberships allowed per condo development. There are 82 units in the Covenant and 34 have voting rights. Of the 34 condo owners who are eligible for Golf Club memberships, 18 have them currently. The change would require a modification of the RSF Association’s Articles of Incorporation and would be subject to a member vote. •The RSF Fire Protection District names engineer Nick Brandow the “Firefighter of the Year.” Brandow has been with the district since 2004 and serves on the Emergency Medical Services Committee and the RSF Firefighters Association’s executive board.

continued from page 1 Diego community that volunteer their time and resources to raise funds to assist over 30-plus non-profits,” said Anna Waite, a board member for eight years and chair of the 2013 Art of Fashion show. “Our board of directors spends time throughout the year visiting these charities that we fund to see firsthand how our donations are being utilized.” Tryon said that The Country Friends members are excited to celebrate their 60th year with their annual luncheon in May, the Sept. 18 fashion show and, as a new event, they will be part of the San Diego International Wine Show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in April. The Friends ended 2013 on a sad note, with the passing of Jean Newman on Dec. 8. Newman was a past president, a dedicated volunteer and manager of the consignment store for more than 35 years. “She was such a mentor to me and responsible for recruiting me into The Country Friends,” said Waite. “I feel the community of Rancho Santa Fe has truly lost a treasured friend.” The Country Friends plan to have a celebration of

life and memorial for Newman at a date to be announced. Donations can be made in her honor at thecountryfriends.org The RSF Golf Club One of the biggest topics on the Ranch last year were the trees at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, as residents reacted to the club’s plans to remove a net loss of 102 dead and dying trees to improve the golf course’s playability. After a lively public meeting in April, the RSF Golf Club and RSF Association resolved to work together in developing the club’s master plan. In December, the master plan was presented to the Green Committee and the RSF Golf Club’s board for input and the club plans to schedule an open session sometime early in 2014. Last year the RSF Association also used the Club Mark survey to measure the RSF Golf Club’s demographics and how satisfied members are with the club. Through the survey they learned that in 10 years or less 61 percent of members will be over 70, there is a decline in Golf Club membership, and a decline in capture rate for new members. The survey also showed that younger members are looking for lifestyle amenities, such as a fitness center, spa or pool. The RSF Association is taking the initial steps in the process of considering a pool and fitness center, which involves getting input from the community, as well as exploring the capital expense and operational costs. Any project would require a communitywide vote. At an early 2014 board meeting, the RSF Association board will consider a consulting contract with Club Mark to assist them through the process. Canyon Crest Academy 2014 will be a big year for the San Dieguito Union High School District high school as it celebrates its 10-year anniversary. Since opening, the school has proven excellence in academics, the arts and athletics. Already on the books is a celebration gala event on May 16 called “Across the Universe,” which will include an “Envision Showcase featuring songs from the Beatles.” CCA’s most humble beginnings date back to 2004 when 364 students attended school in 19 trailers in the parking lot. Now CCA is a campus of about 1,800 students and the campus keeps on growing and improving. Last year the school opened its new track and athletic field and, in 2014, student athletes will play on new baseball and softball fields, lacrosse and soccer fields. The class of 2015 will be the first to hold graduation in the new stadium,which starts construction next year. CCA has become wellknown for its Envision arts program and next year figures to be big as its talented students will take on “Les Miserables.” Rehearsals are already underway for the spring pro-

duction. Torrey Pines Hoops Heading into January, the Torrey Pines Falcon basketball team is ranked number three in the county and (at presstime) has only lost one game, to the number one team, St. Augustine, by just 5 points. The Falcons have returned an entire team from last year, a team that was league champions and made a deep playoff run, losing to El Camino in the semi-finals of the CIF Championships. “We were very good last year and expect to be good again this year,” said Coach John Olive. The road to a championship this year won’t be easy as for the first year in CIF there will be an open division where the top eight teams will compete. “We’ll be playing teams that we’ve never seen before and everyone will be very, very good,” Olive said, The Falcons have two senior starters and the rest are underclassman. You can’t miss the team’s sole freshman player — Jake Gilliam tops out at 6’8”. Brandon Cyrus, a Canadian import and only a sophomore, is attracting a lot of attention from coaches in college programs across the country. The Falcons have developed a bit of their own Lob City, often with junior Dominic Hovasse tossing the lofty pass and Brandon slamming it home — Olive said the boys developed this bit of trickery on their own time and have gotten a knack for it. In addition, 6’5” senior forward Sam Worman is attracting the attention of college recruits — “he does a little bit of everything for us,” Olive said. In more than 17 years of coaching at Torrey Pines, Olive has had a lot of special players come through and this team is no different. “I love them,” Olive said of his team. “They’re good kids and they get along well together, follow directions, they’re coachable and I enjoy being around them.” Students have taken to calling the Torrey Pines gym “The Olive Garden” as a tribute to the longtime coach and Coach Olive just has to laugh at how it’s catching on. “That’s wonderful,” he said. The Village The finishing touches are being placed on the RSF Village’s new commercial building, Plaza de Acacias. Key tenants for the building on Avenida de Acacias include Union Bank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. In 2014, the community will also find out whether or not there will be a farmers market in the village on Saturdays. In December, the RSF Association board gave organizer Janet Lawless Christ one more month to find a location that would work for the market as previous spots cannot be utilized for various reasons.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings now open in Encinitas BY KRISTINA HOUCK Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings opened just three months ago in Encinitas, but owner Mark Matheson has been in the furniture business for more than 20 years. After working at a Los Angeles-based furniture store for several years, he opened his own store, Metropolis, in San Diego in 1993. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a really good reputation and we were around for years,â&#x20AC;? Matheson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people know us from that store.â&#x20AC;? The furniture business was one of the industries hit hardest by the recession. Metropolis, which first opened in Hillcrest and later opened in Encinitas, closed its second store by the beginning of 2010. When the economy began bouncing back, so did Matheson. In 2012, he opened Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings in North Park. Named after his 10-year-old daughter, Grace, the store relocated to Encinitas in the fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There seemed to be a niche that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being filled: a price-driven store that was style driven as well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most moderate- to low-end stores look moderate- to lowend. I wanted to give the feel of a high-end store with moderate pricing.â&#x20AC;? The new showroom is larger than 5,000 square feet. Specializing in bedroom, living room and dining room furniture, the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceilings have been stripped down to the rafters to highlight the collection featuring distressed metal, exotic wood and other hard surfaces combined with fabrics. With the catchphrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;Style You Can Afford,â&#x20AC;? Matheson enjoys looking for trends and arranging the pieces on the floor.

(Above) The showroom at Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings in Encinitas. Photo/Kristina Houck â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have a feel for it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being able to put the whole picture together that works for me.â&#x20AC;? Matheson didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always work in the furniture business. He worked as an analyst at a Certified Public Accounting firm for five years before he transitioned to the industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like being an analyst at a CPA firm. I wanted to be an entrepreneur,â&#x20AC;? Matheson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met this guy just out of happenstance. He had a very successful store, but he needed help organizing it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was very talented design-wise; he just needed help-business wise. He taught me the furniture industry and I taught him how to run his business better.â&#x20AC;?

After six years at Los Angeles-based Civilization, Matheson returned to his hometown of San Diego to open his own furniture store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I learned about numbers because it helps me run this business and it kept me open longer than most of the stores in the 2008-2009 period,â&#x20AC;? said Matheson, who lives in Mission Hills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m passionate about this business.â&#x20AC;? Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings is located at 1044 North El Camino Real, Suite B in Encinitas.

‘Who Am I This Time?’ unfolds in fun and romance at North Coast Rep Speaker to discuss ‘From the

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER In 1961, Kurt Vonnegut had a short story published in the Saturday Evening Post.

When he meets a female fellow actor, who is much like himself, they find a mutual attraction. Andrew Barnicle directs the show. “Andrew has a great track record and is of the

Cuisine as fresh as the sea and sky at Board & Brew BY KELLEY CARLSON oard & Brew is more than 30 years old, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, the sandwich shop (with locations in Del Mar, Carlsbad and San Clemente) will soon be expanding into Rancho Santa Margarita and Scripps Ranch. The flagship site in Del Mar continues to draw crowds, from business executives and professional athletes dressed casually to students and locals just in from the beach. About half of them call or text in their orders and pick them up to go, many opting for a picnic in the scenic community, according to founder/owner Tom Powers. The rest gather on the front and back patios and inside the restaurant decorated with wood paneling and surfboards. Tables are high demand, so Powers recommends having a person save a seat while another orders at the counter. Perhaps one reason Board & Brew has become a staple in Del Mar over the years is due to its use of fresh ingredients. There are no processed meats, according to Powers — the roast beef is top-of-the-line certified Angus and cooked on-site. Chicken is brought in each day and marinated overnight in a special blend of herbs and spices.

Guests place their orders at the counter.

Board & Brew’s House Potato Salad Specially made breads from local bakers are also part of the daily deliveries. And care is taken to obtain high-quality vegetables, such as vine-ripened tomatoes; green leaf lettuce; hothouse cucumbers; Hass avocados; and strong, spicy jalapeños that aren’t canned. Among Board & Brew’s specialty sandwiches is its signature Turkado, composed of a thick stack of turkey breast and jack cheese,

Powers’ favorite is the California Delight, featuring turkey breast, cream cheese, sunflower seeds, mayo, tomato, lettuce and sprouts on slightly sweet squaw bread. There are hot sandwiches served on toasted baguettes as well, such as the Chicken Club with bacon, melted jack cheese, mayo, tomato and lettuce.

The Green Salad consists of lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, eggs and grilled chicken.

Powers said the spicy Baja Chicken is the restaurant’s best and most unique sandwich — it’s topped with grilled onions, jalapeño peppers, melted jack cheese, mayo, tomato and lettuce. House salads are also offered at Board & Brew, including a Caesar with grilled chicken breast, parmesan cheese and homemade croutons; and the colorful Green Salad that combines green-leaf lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs, croutons and a choice of grilled chicken or tuna. A special house-made, creamy “sweet and sour” sauce (not to be confused with the type used in Chinese cuisine) can be used to dress both the sandwiches and salads. At first taste, it’s sweet, but there’s a bit of a tangy aftertaste. It’s the most requested item at Board & Brew, Powers said. To accompany the sandwiches and salads, there are several options of sides: the house potato salad and assorted flavors of “dirty” potato chips (in which the potato slices are not washed) and chocolate-chip cookies. And don’t forget the beverage: Board & Brew sells fountain drinks, freshly brewed ice tea, an array of juices, and bottled beers from Mexico and the San Diego-based Ballast Point. ◆

Abandoned cat left at Helen Woodward Animal Center on Christmas Eve

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Employees at the Helen Woodward Animal Center found an abandoned cat Dec. 24 and named him George Bailey, after the lead character of the beloved Christmas movie ``It’s a Wonderful Life.’’ The feline, a male black domestic short-hair, was left in a crate outside the facility’s horse stables. The crate contained a note that said the owner was no longer able to care for the 7-yearold feline — but assured staff that he was up-to-date on vaccinations as of last year. ``It is always emotional for us when we see an adult family pet that is given up without any real explanation,’’ said Ed Farrelly,

George Bailey the animal services manager at the center. ``You can see the sorrow and confusion on George’s face. It really hits us all so close to Christmas.’’ Staff at the facility were giving George a medical check-up and will go through a normal two-week waiting period before he becomes available for adoption. The center said anyone who wants more information on the cat, or to adopt him, can contact the Adoptions Department at (858) 756-4117, ext. 1; visit www.animalcenter. org or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Carmel Valley Skatepark’s popularity continues after ﬁve years of great rides BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Skatepark recently celebrated a sick ride — the five-year anniversary of the park being open in Carmel Valley. On a recent Saturday the facility on El Camino Real grinded to life at 10 a.m. with skaters of all ages on the park’s various features, from its banks and steps to the unique deep bowl. Dad David Nelson waited in his car, keeping watch on the young skateboarders he’d ferried to the park, his son and his friends. “The kids love it, I think it’s a really good community, the kids are really friendly and considerate to each other,” Nelson said. “They definitely feel safe and welcome here even though they’re younger.” Decked out in the required helmets, the kids practiced tricks and took photos as teenagers skated on other obstacles and adult skaters worked inside the bowl. “I’ve been coming here for a year and every time it keeps getting better and better,” said Jonathan Polarek, a sixth grader at Torrey Hills Elementary School. “My favorite feature is all the drop-ins, it’s really fun to get wind in your face while you’re going super fast down hill.” Fifth grader Andy Nelson said the first thing he does is go over to the park’s ramps and grinds the rails. He said he feels that the place is safe and kept clean. “The main reason there’s no graffiti is because of the police station next door, that might have a lot to do with it,” Andy Nelson said. It’s hard to imagine that the facility that buzzes with activity in the afternoons and early evenings under the lights could be the visitor center the land was originally tapped for. In 2007, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board heard from skatepark enthusiasts that the board should use its Facilities Benefit Assessment funds to build a park instead; launching a series of public work-

A big advocate for the park throughout the process was Carmel Valley skater Mark Takahashi. “I drive by the skatepark almost every day, and I see that it gets a lot of use,” Takahashi said. “It really makes me happy to see kids and adults enjoying the skatepark on a daily basis. I’m proud of the work and devotion that all of the early supporters gave so many years ago.” The park has also played host to skateboarding contests — in March it was a stop on the Transworld Skateboarding’s Come Up Tour and in August was the site for the Skate-

The two had picked up boards again after about a 30year layoff. “This is the only place I go.” Mark likes the depth of the bowl, which ranges from 6 to 11 feet, one of the deepest in San Diego. Even more than the bowl, he said he likes that there’s a lot at the park for all levels of skateboarders from beginners on up. A fellow CV Skatepark enthusiast, young skater Chris Novascone, agreed, giving a strong endorsement. “It’s the best park ever,” Chris said.

Rant with Randi: The Good Old â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Affluenzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Defense BY RANDI CRAWFORD Holy smokes! I thought that I had heard it all until I read this story. Sadly, this is no joke. On June 15, in Ft. Worth Texas, an intoxicated 16 year old lost control of his pick- up truck and killed four people. Not only did he kill four innocent people, but he injured two others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of them is brain damaged and paralyzed and can only communicate by blinking. This wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just any accident! The horror is that a juvenile court judge sentenced this kid to 10 years of probation for his crime. OMG. This one leaves me nearly speechless. This kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit when he caused the crash, and he also had traces of Valium in his system. The defense that his lawyers used is called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;affluenza defense.â&#x20AC;? What the he** does that even mean? His lawyers claim that it meant he was blameless for driving drunk because his condition stemmed from having wealthy privileged parents who never set limits for him. They said that this kid is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;victimâ&#x20AC;? of affluenza- parenting. Poor little spoiled brat. Apparently he was compensated with cars and material gifts whenever he did something wrong, so who can blame him? Can you see me vomiting all over my house right now? OK, I need to stop here for a minute. Has the entire world gone insane? This takes my theory of entitlement and parents not parenting to an entirely new level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a level that actually allows one to commit the act of killing another human being, or four for that matter, and getting away with it. The judge clearly decided to take part in the affluenza parenting by â&#x20AC;&#x153;affluenza sentencingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; giving him no consequences and, instead, sending him to a $500,000 dollar a

year facility that literally mimics one of my favorite places in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Miraval. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically going to a spa where his schedule will include â&#x20AC;&#x153;equine therapyâ&#x20AC;? (which means he gets to ride and work with horses), yoga, mediation, cooking classes, one-on-one nutritional classes, and martial arts. Ummm, is this a punishment or a year-long vacation? This is just about the most absurd form of â&#x20AC;&#x153;punishmentâ&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever heard of in my life. But it was argued, after all, that this kid wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the things that really mattered to him such as his Xbox, alcohol, drugs, and access to cars and girls. Wow, now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking hard -core punishment...no Xbox, how is he going to survive? Where is the justice? Obviously rich kids have more resources at their disposal for their crazy teenage behavior, which is scary to any parent, especially ones who have kids going to high school. These kids have access to money, cars, drugs, alcohol, and basically anything they want. And, they have parents who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what they do. This is ap

Catch some zzz’s with these sleepy bites The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.” — W. C. Fields

bedtime snack for a peaceful slumber. Other tryptophan powerhouses that might help you sleep tight (especially with a generous side of carbs) include turkey, notorious for causing Thanksgiving naps, elk and crustaceans. Whip up a pot of seafood cioppino, lobster cocktail, scallop stir-fry or Spanish paella, and dream on. Green sleeping machines Some mighty leafy greens are packed with calcium, which stimulates the brain to use tryptophan for the manufacture of snoozeinducing melatonin. So go green with a warm wilted spinach salad, sweet and sour mustard greens, kale confetti with pomegranate seeds and toasted almonds, or an arugula pesto for burger toppings. …Or turn over a new leaf with lethargic-triggering lettuce leaves containing lactucarium to lull you to sleep. Liquid lullabies Your grandma’s triedand-true sleep remedy — a warm glass of milk before bedtime — still does the trick, since the calcium and tryptophan in dairy products help dial up melatonin. A soothing cup of chamomile tea will also trigger a restful night by boosting the body’s glycine, a natural sedative to relax tense nerves and muscles. Passion fruit tea will accomplish sleep-like-a-baby slumber thanks to the Harman alkaloids found in the tea’s flowers. Tart cherry juice, too, has been found to hike melatonin levels for putting the skids on insom-

nia. Sweet dreams, honey Some of the natural sugars in honey, including glucose, fructose and maltose boost insulin levels, which in turn enable tryptophan to flow into the brain with greater ease. Dissolve a spoonful of honey in a cup of chamomile tea for a double dose of drowsy. Calming carbs Studies have shown that certain carbs contribute to some serious shut-eye, especially jasmine rice, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, pretzels and corn chips. Once again, these moderate to high-glycemic foods hike insulin levels, prodding tryptophan to enter the brain bringing on zzz’s. Bedtime B’s Crank up your B6s, such as wild caught salmon, halibut and raw garlic to manufacture melatonin and serotonin. Cheesy garlic toast, teriyaki salmon burgers or a halibut fillet dressed in aioli sauce will do the tranquilizing trick, too. Nighty Night Nuts Load up on assorted nuts before retiring for the night, especially hearthealthy tryptophan and magnesium-rich almonds, walnuts rife with tryptophan and melatonin, flaxseeds, an omega-3 mood elevator, and pistachios, a B6 powerhouse. Mellow yellow A bedtime banana is a perfect package with muscle-relaxing magnesium, and mellowing melatonin and serotonin. Slice on a piece of whole-what toast slathered with almond butter for a soothing, hit the sack snack.

Living in a stress-filled electromagnetic soup has created a nation of insomniacs. According to the Centers for Disease Control, between 50 and 70 million American adults suffer from sleep disorders. If you’re among them, consider making the new year the time to muffle the static in your head, ease tense muscles, trigger sleep hormones (serotonin and melatonin) to flow freely and get your long overdue beauty sleep. Let’s toss the sleeping pills and indulge in soporific foods. Pleasant dreams. Hit the hay with hummus Chickpeas, the main ingredient in hummus, contain a load of tryptophan, an amino acid your body uses to make the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep and circadian patterns. So chow down on some whole-wheat pita chips and hummus as a For dinner enjoy this Mediterranean mix of arugula, chickpeas and honey that’ll ease you into la la land like an edible lullaby.

Mediterranean Lullaby Salad 14 ounces (2 packages) wild arugula 1 cup chickpeas, drained 1/2 red onion, diced 1 teaspoon honey 1/4 cup champagne vinegar 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/4 cup walnut, almond or olive oil 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder 1/4 cup roasted pecans or walnuts, chopped Sea salt and pepper to taste Method: Sauté the onion in the oil until translucent. Add the chickpeas, vinegar, honey, lemon, mustard powder, salt and pepper, and heat on medium until warm. Sprinkle the nuts on arugula, and toss with the warm dressing. Serve immediately.

U.S.S. Bishop’s, the 2014 auction co-chaired by current Bishop’s parents Alice Hayes of La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe residents Dawn Calvetti and Margot Kerr. Held on the school’s campus April 12, 2014, the school’s annual auction is certain to be a night to remember. The auction season will launch on Jan. 25, 2014, during the school’s tastings party, an evening of delicious food and wine from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe home of Bishop’s parents Tricia and Raymond Faltinsky. Guests are asked to donate $100 per couple or bring a premium bottle of wine (95 points or higher) for admission, which will be offered in the wine section of the event’s silent auction. All Aboard!

RANT continued from page B11 palling. Did I mention that this kid and his buddies stole beer from a WalMart earlier that day? First he’s a thief, next he’s a drunk, then he’s a drunk driver and his grand finale is killing four people and injuring two others. And he gets away with it because he’s a victim of idiotic parenting. This is so disturbing that my brain isn’t processing it. This judge needs to be taken off the bench immediately and this sentence overturned. Let’s talk about the

message that we are sending to our youth. Seriously? What is this judge telling our kids? That it’s OK to drink and drive and all you need is money to buy your way out of it? The enormity of this is so not lost on me. Four people died that day and this kid will never feel the consequences of his actions. I’m so angry about the level of injustice that it’s hard for me to even talk about. This was a very bad day indeed for our legal system, our youth, for parents and for the entire country. Outrageous.
