San Diego’s mayoral runoff election set BY PAT SHERMAN Two San Diego City Council members (and San Diego State University grads) are vying to fill the vacancy left by disgraced former mayor Bob Filner in the Feb. 11 special runoff election. Republican Kevin Faulconer, representing Council District 2, received the most votes in the Nov. 19 special election (42.08 percent). Democrat David Alvarez, representing Council District 8, was the second-place finisher (at 27.13 percent). According to the city clerk’s office, the Nov. 19 election cost taxpayers nearly $4.7 million. The Feb. 11 mayoral runoff is estimated to cost an additional $4 million-$4.5 million. Of the 682,449 registered voters in the City of San Diego, 242,747 voted on Nov. 19 (or 35.5 percent). Though the race is technically nonpartisan, the candidates’ endorsements and financial contributions fall along party lines, with Faulconer receiving the lion’s share of business support (including former mayor and San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jerry Sanders) and Alvarez supported by the city’s labor unions and Democratic leaders (including former city councilmember and mayoral staffer Donna Frye, who first alerted media to Filner’s pervasive harassSee ELECTION, page 20

Mayoral candidate Kevin Faulconer outlines campaign themes during media meeting BY JOE TASH San Diego City Councilman and mayoral candidate Kevin Faulconer hit on his campaign themes of investing in neighborhoods, fiscal responsibility and public safety in a meeting with community journalists on Saturday, Jan. 4. The campaign for the Feb. 11 mayoral runoff election heated back up this week after a temporary lull during the holidays. Faulconer faces fellow Councilman David Alvarez in the runoff election to determine who

Kevin Faulconer will serve the rest of former Mayor Bob Filner’s term, following Filner’s August resignation in the midst of a sexual harassment scandal. Faulconer and Alvarez were the top two finishers in a November mayoral primary. “I’m someone who gets

things done and works with my colleagues on the City Council across the aisle. It’s about results,” said Faulconer, 46, a two-term councilman who worked for a public relations firm before his election to the council in 2006. Faulconer met with journalists in an informal session at one of his two San Diego campaign offices. By request of the campaign, journalists were permitted to take notes, but not use electronic devices to record the conversation. Faulconer is a Republi-

BY KAREN BILLING More than 50 people showed up at the RSF Association board’s Jan. 2 meeting after a request was made from some Covenant members to discuss the delay of the RSF Association’s purchase of the RSF Garden Club, which was announced last March. Last year the RSF Association announced plans to purchase the RSF Garden Club building for $2.4 million to preserve the “village gem” as the Garden Club has struggled with the costs to maintain it. Rather than the club selling the building to an outside source, the RSF Association’s purchase could keep the iconic facility locally owned. An advisory vote of the RSF Association membership in April reported an 85 percent approval of the purchase of the club by the RSF Association. Jack Queen, a former RSF Association board president who spoke at the Jan. 2 RSF Association board meeting on behalf of 120 members who signed a petition, said the group was con-

cerned about the failure to finalize the agreement made more than nine months ago and wanted to hear the progress of the sale in an open session rather than closed executive session. Queen said he was pleased to hear that the terms of the deal had recently been finalized. “We’re very excited that the deal is about to be done,” Queen said. “We think the purchase will be extremely positive to the entire community.” As RSF Association Board President Ann Boon explained, the board was not trying to derail the purchase as some people might have thought, but instead took its time to craft a deal that honored the concept the community voted on and to fulfill the board’s fiduciary responsibility to conduct proper due diligence. She said she learned in the process of making the deal that the devil is in the details.

The Buzz: Opening doors and letting the light in BY ANN BOON, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD PRESIDENT At the last meeting of the RSF Ann Boon Association board, the main item of interest on the agenda was the status of the negotiations for the purchase of the RSF Garden Club. Although, as an item of contract, the negotiations had been held in closed sessions, members requested a discussion in an open meeting. The board reported that an agreement has been reached with the Garden Club and now it is up to attorneys to draw up legal documents for the purchase and lease arrangements. We will be presenting the details of those documents in open session as we receive them. Every future open session will have an update on the Garden Club purchase until the transaction is closed. The most exciting thing for me about the last meeting was hearing how inter-

ested our members are in having items discussed in open sessions. As in the past, topics that will continue to be discussed in open session will include: the possibility of extending either access to golf club memberships or full Association privileges to condominium owners; the study of a pool/ fitness center; the water project at the RSF Golf Club; and the replacement of dead and dying trees at the Golf Club and throughout the Covenant. In addition, we will be providing more detailed updates from the Finance Committee regarding Association budgeting and expenditures. Although the laws governing homeowners’ associations permit certain topics to be discussed in closed session, the current board will be taking our members’ concerns about openness seriously. We will be discussing everything possible in open session. For example, the Compensation Committee has been reviewing the compensation and benefit packages for our Association employees. The committee has

examined salaries; sick leave and vacation leave policies; as well as medical benefits. The purpose of the review has been at least two-fold: (1) to compare the salaries and benefits that our employees receive to the “industry standards” and (2) to project the costs of various policies and packages to determine a level that is sustainable. Currently, our personnel costs represent about 70 percent of the Association budget. Some parts of the benefit package are growing at a faster rate than our revenues. We want to make sure that our compensation and benefits are fair to employees, yet are also sustainable for members at current assessment rates. We will be presenting a status report in open session to educate members and to receive your comments. Individual employee information, of course, will always be kept confidential and will not be disclosed in open session. Items relating to an individual member, such as assessment payments that are in arrears or property issues

that are in violation of Covenant rules and regulations, have historically been discussed in closed session. Many issues pertaining to an individual property can legally be discussed in open session. Since there is such a demand from our members for more openness and transparency, the board will consider discussing some of these issues in open session as well. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the Nominating Committee will be looking for a few good men and women to run for the Association board in the elections this spring. The three-year terms will begin July 1, 2014. If you are interested, please call the Association office (858-7561174) or email me at ann. boon@me.com.

Scholarship to be presented at RSF Garden Club Awards Night Jan. 14 The RSF Garden Club Awards Night will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 14, at the RSF Garden Club. Community members are welcome to attend the event. The event will begin at 6 p.m. with a buffet dinner and wine, followed by the awards ceremony and a review of the RSF Garden Club building purchase by the RSF Association. The RSF Garden Club has had a goal for several years to increase its Endowment Scholarship Fund to enable the club to present a $500 yearly scholarship to a student pursuing studies in horticulture or environmental protection. The scholarship the RSF Garden Club is presenting to Mira Costa College on Jan. 14 will ful-

fill that goal. It is the club members’ belief that a scholarship, such as the one presented by Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, can provide a strong impetus to a student’s determination to achieve. RSF Garden Club President Helen DiZio will make the presentation to Linda Fergeson, executive director at the Mira Costa College Office of Development and College Foundation. Please RSVP by Jan. 12 to LaVerne Schlosser at 858756-4529 or maryannejam@ gmail.com. The RSF Garden Club is located at 17052 Avenida de Acacias, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067; www.rsfgardenclub. org.

Next San Dieguito Planning Group meeting is Jan. 9 The regular meeting of the San Dieguito Planning Group scheduled for Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. will take place at the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Station (meeting room), 16936 El Fuego, Rancho Santa Fe (El Fuego intersects Linea del Cielo at the west end of the village).

RSF Education Foundation launches ‘Speaker Series’ program The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation recently announced the kick-off of its new “Speaker Series” program on Jan. 10 with National Geographic speaker Kobie Boykins. A dynamic young engineer at NASA‘s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Boykins is on the front line of Mars exploration. Boykins designed the solar arrays that power the Mars exploration rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. Landing on Mars on Jan. 25, 2004, Opportunity was designed to survive a mission lasting approximately 90 days. Remarkably, the rover continues to traverse the surface of Mars to this day, sending back valuable scientific data. Most recently, Boykins was responsible for the design of actuators on Curiosity, the Mars Science Laboratory, which safely landed on Mars on Aug. 6, 2012. Boykins’ other projects have included work on the Mars Pathfinder mission and the Ocean Surface Topography Mission, making measurements by satellite of the Earth’s oceans. In 2002, Boykins joined a team of young scientists for a public education tour — dubbed “Marsapalooza”— to raise awareness of the Mars Exploration Project. Four years later he was featured in the JASONProject Expedition “Mysteries of Earth and Mars,” bringing his passion for space exploration to students and teachers worldwide. An engaging public speaker who puts a fresh face on America’s space program, Boykins will recount the challenges and triumphs of the Mars exploration rover missions, sharing remarkable images and discoveries that continue to come to us from the Red Planet. The RSF Education Foundation is excited to launch this special new initiative with Boykins, stated Evan Malter of the Education Foundation. “I am certain that his passion for his work and for education will leave an impact on our children and teachers that will last not only through the school year, but, for many, it will last for a lifetime. That is what we wish to accomplish with each speaker that we choose for our new Speaker Series.” Grades K-4th students will attend a 30-minute presentation and grades 5-8 will attend a one-hour presentation in

R. Roger Rowe 4th grade students add sparkle to Camp Pendleton Holiday Party Just as the holiday season was kicking into full gear, all four 4th grade classes at R. Roger Rowe School â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with their teachers and some parent volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; took time from their busy schedules to hand-cut hundreds of sparkly red and silver snowflakes. The snowflakes were used to decorate 50 white tablecloths which were in turn used to adorn dinner tables for the Camp Pendleton Exceptional Family Mem-

ber Programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (EFMP) annual holiday party on Dec. 21. This was one of many service activities sponsored by the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kind to the Core service learning program in December. Each grade from K-5 has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;service theme.â&#x20AC;? Fourth graders focus their attention on supporting the military. Winona Britt, EFMP training, education & outreach specialist, was thrilled to receive the tablecloths. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The table-

cloths were absolutely gorgeous and matched everything perfectly! They made our dĂŠcor!â&#x20AC;? To learn more about the Exceptional Family Member Program, visit www.mccscp.com/efmp. For more about the RSF Education Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kind to the Core Initiative, visit: www.rsfef.org.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

‘Book Cellar Angels’ appreciated for invaluable contributions BY MARY E. LIU, RSF LIBRARY GUILD When a customer comes into the Book Cellar to browse our shelves, they are often unaware of all the “angels” who work to make it as organized as it can be. Originally they were dubbed the “Book Cellar Slaves,” but a wise person changed the name to the “Angels” which is certainly more apropos. The Angels work in the Sorting Room where all the donated items come through to be categorized and priced. Some of our more valuable books are set aside, looked up online and sold on Amazon. Everyone is assigned a section which is their specialty (i.e. cookbooks, classics, nonfiction, trade size fiction) and the Angels sort accordingly and then shelve the books. Two angels by the name of Janie and Terry run the operation and keep things clicking along. Terry is our wonderful craft person and she makes all those gorgeous cards/crafts that we sell – come check them out! The primary reason I’m writing about the Angels is one of them is leaving us because she has finished building her new home and is sadly leaving us. Elaine has been a delight to work alongside and she has greatly improved the look of the Cellar with her innovative ideas.

ƪȯȼȱȶȽΎƫȯȼɂȯΎƞȳΎƪȳȯȺΎƝɁɂȯɂȳ˶Ύ̱̯̰̲ΎƫɃȻȻȯɀɇ Rancho Santa Fe real estate (defined for the purpose of this analysis as all attached and detached residential properties listed with the San Diego Multiple Listing Service for the 92067 and 92091 zip codes) continues to appreciate. Overall median sold price rose from $2,090,750 in 2012 to $2,147,850 in 2013 while annual sales rose 15.6%, from 262 properties to 303 properties, respectively. Average marketing time also declined year-over-year from 270 days to 192 days, almost a 30% decline. All of this occurred under more volatile 2013 inventory levels than those of 2012.

This newer, Hacienda-style estate, located in the Covenant in Rancho Santa Fe, spans 7,235 square feet with 4 bedrooms all en suite, plus an extensive master suite. Designed for the ultimate in indoor-outdoor living, the residence features many inviting alfresco areas, terraces and courtyards. There is a stunning pool with water features and spa and a lounging terrace with fireplace. The property sits high on 4.05 acres, and is very private. In addition there is a one bed/one bath guest casita with kitchenette, laundry and patio.

Original Listing Price: less than $3 million This submarket of Rancho Santa Fe real estate had the largest median sold price appreciation. 2013 median sold price was $1,775,000, 6.0% more than the 2012. Helping to support this price appreciation was a 6.5% declining inventory with sales increasing 14.8%. There appears to be little slowing demand over supply in this price segment.

The perfect single story, 5 bedroom, 3 bath classic Covenant estate on 2 tranquil, private and all usable acres. Located close to the RSF Covenant village with expansive views of the mountains and lush countryside. Recently updated with stone baths, granite kitchen and beautiful distressed wood flooring. The property is fenced with a pool and spa, fire pit, built in BBQ and wonderful gardens. There is a 3 car attached garage and a one car detached garage.

Original Listing Price: $3 million - $5 million This market had an outstanding 2013. The number of properties sold in this submarket for 2013 was 51.0% more than 2012. 51 properties were sold in 2012 while 77 properties in 2013. Not only did 51% more properties sell in 2013, but they also sold 21.3% faster on average. Better yet, they also created a 4.2% higher median sold price than that of 2012. Median sold price went from $3,000,000 in 2012 to $3,125,000 in 2013.

Original Listing Price: $5 million or more When assessing this submarket’s 2012-2013 performance, everything looks positive except its 41.4% sales decline. The number of properties sold in 2013 dropped to 17 from 29 properties in 2012. While this was a large relative decline in sales, the decline was to a prior year level. 2011 sales were 16 properties; 2010 were 19; 2009 were 19, 2008 were 14. It appears that 2013 simply failed to continue the crest of 2012. However, the rest of this submarket continues unshaken. In 2013, median sold price climbed 4.8% to $4,875,000 from $4,650,000 in 2012. Average marketing time also declined 30.5% from 596 days in 2012 to 414 days in 2013. The consistent, steady pace of improvement in this submarket should not be understated.

Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club and RSF Proposed sale of RSF Association boards reach agreement Garden Club to the RSF

The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club is pleased that recent actions taken by the boards of the RSF Garden Club and the RSF Association have resolved the outstanding issues related to the partnership and ownership of the Garden Club property. These latest developments augment the original agreement which was designed to preserve the iconic Garden Club building and parking lot for the community of Rancho Santa Fe and help pave the way for the Garden Club organization to return to its roots as a charity whose mission is to support our local community, particularly in its beautification and conservation efforts. “We envision a much greater community utilization of the building once the Association owns it, as it will be available for use by the entire community rather than just the Garden Club” said RSF Garden Club President Helen DiZio. “We can imagine town hall meetings, school events, concerts, art shows, fitness classes and, of course, the continuation of Cotillion and Roger Rowe School graduation.” A Covenant membership vote on the outline of this partnership was held last spring and achieved an unprecedented 85 percent approval of the Covenant members. The Talking Points distributed to everyone, included: (1) that the Association buy the building at a price determined by independent appraisal, (2) that the proceeds from the sale be put into a Community Enhancement Fund to be utilized by the community for projects benefiting the community, (3) that the Garden Club continue to use the facility in its historic manner — while freeing up 96 percent of building time and the parking lot for utilization by the community and, (4) that the Garden Club lease back a portion of the building — thus covering part of the operating cost of the facility. A point which was unresolved at the time of the Covenant vote had to do with the utilization of the building in its “historic manner.” At issue was the use of the building for the life of the Garden Club, without considering that some future potentially better use for the facility might arise which would conflict with the Garden Club’s rights. The boards have agreed that, if in the future there is a proposed change in the use of the Garden Club property which would not allow the Garden Club membership to continue its use, the change in usage would be permitted if approved by a vote of the Covenant membership. While there has been no change in the basic agreement, allowing flexibility for possible future change is a positive addition. The next steps are to complete the documentation and necessary government approval processes to finalize the agreement as previously envisioned. — Submitted by RSF Garden Club

RSF Garden Club property sale to RSF Association: Why is this happening? First off, I have to ask why this is happening? The RSF Garden Club property was donated and it is free and clear, they have a half-million dollars in the bank, and suddenly there seems to be a rush to sell the property, lease back the space for the Shoppe and get 15 days a year to operate events for some undetermined amount of term, set up an endowment with the sale proceeds and then distribute the earnings each year to other local charities. Sounds like the end of the Garden Club to me. Why not just lease the facility to the RSF Association or someone else who wants to manage the property for 350 days a year; the Garden Club would keep title to the property and use the rents to help pay for the expenses of maintaining the property along with the proceeds from the Shoppe and any other events for the 15 days they requested? A boost to their membership would help too. The details of the agreement between the RSF Association and the Garden Club are still largely unknown except to know that the lease requested by the Garden Club for 15 days of use in perpetuity was nixed and a new deal was recently signed by both board presidents that doesn’t define any lease term for the 15 days of annual use requested for office space upstairs except to say it is for $1 per year. The Shoppe space and the garage will have a 10year lease at some undisclosed amount payable in advance each year with details on renewal and cancellation of the lease with penalty. This is what you get for selling the building, the sole tangible asset of the Garden Club. The proceeds from the $2.4 million sale are to be given to the RSF Foundation for an endowment as requested by the RSF Association and then they want to help distribute the annual funds from the endowment to other local charities. Can anybody else make sense of all this? The sole property asset is gone and now you’re a tenant for 15 days a year upstairs and market rents for the Shoppe and garage downstairs, and all future Garden Club use of the property will be subject to change by mutual agreement between the RSF Association and the Garden Club. If the Garden Club board is not in agreement with the changes in use of the building/property, the RSF Association board will seek a vote of the RSF Association membership and both boards will abide by the simple majority of the voting membership. Good luck on that one. Again, why is this all happening? If the volunteers are tired of running the Club, hire a development person to run it. Just renting out the parking spaces at the rear of the property would probably pay for that. If the RSF Association wants the space and usage so badly, let them lease it for awhile and see how that works out. The current “agreements” are certainly not in the best interest of the Garden Club who end up with no building, no property, no endowment income and very limited use on undetermined leases. Marion Dodson Member of the RSF Garden Club and RSF Association

Association a win/win for all The proposed sale of the RSF Garden Club property to the RSF Association is a great idea for both organizations and 85 percent of us polled have agreed. A win/win situation is tough to come by, but in our little community it is a frequent visitor. We have seen such compromise and forward thinking between the school, the library, the community center, the fire department, the Sheriff’s office, the golf club, the foundation, and were seeing it again. Over the past few months, the fine points have been discussed in depth and resolved, and all are ready to proceed. Congratulations to both the Association and the Garden Club for orchestrating this joint use agreement. It benefits us all, and is further evidence of Rancho Santa Fe community cooperation, and good common sense. Marie Addario. Past President, RSF Association

Covenant members who moved to RSF within the past 10 years needed to serve on the Association board Dear Fellow Covenant Members, If you have moved here within the past 10 years, you pay around 75 percent of the RSF Association fee revenues. That’s correct. Your neighbors who have lived here longer, especially those who have resided here for 20-plus years, pay $200 to $800 annually while you pay $2,500 to $8,000 annually. Now, who is represented in most years on your Board of Governors? Well, some may correctly guess, those who pay little and demand much. If you all board your horses at Osuna and frequent the dinner and dances at the Garden Club you are getting your money’s worth. If, however, you use the Community Center with your children or want additional ball fields or want a pool or fitness center for you and your children, your Association fees don’t support those activities. Oh, in the case of the pool and the fitness center, they do not exist! You can change that. Like some of last year’s board candidates, all you need to do is go to the Association office and place your name on the ballot. You probably will not get a call from this year’s nominating committee, which has three members from “old” boards and two members from the current board. This system of nominating candidates for future boards perpetuates the current system of representation. If you sit at home and don’t volunteer, you will continue to have your Association fees used to purchase garden clubs and old adobes. You may even have your fees increased to fund the maintenance of these facilities. Please get involved. Jim Boon Covenant resident of eight years.

Local researchers study complicated grief BY KRISTINA HOUCK Everyone mourns differently, but some people are unable to heal. Complicated grief may affect as many as 1 out of 10 individuals who have lost a loved one, said Julie Avanzino, research coordinator for the San Diego site of a four-site complicated grief treatment study called “Healing Emotions After Loss,” or H.E.A.L. Complicated grief occurs when acute grief is prolonged, causing distress and interfering with functioning. Healing does not occur. “Our team feels that grief is a natural response to bereavement. It never completely goes away for anyone, but it’s a process,” said Avanzino, a Carmel Valley resident. “It begins acute, and as time progresses, eventually there’s acceptance. In this manner, acute grief becomes integrated and recedes into the background. You still experience it. It might come up again during

Researchers involved with the “Healing Emotions After Loss“ study are still accepting participants who think they may be dealing with complicated grief. the holidays, a birthday or an anniversary, but it doesn’t consume your day-to-day life.” For many years, the mental health community treated grief as depression. There is still some confusion about the condition in the mental health field, said Sidney Zisook, the principal investigator of the study’s San Diego site.

Although research centered on complicated grief began in the 1990s, mental health professionals are just now identifying it as a condition. In 2013, the condition was included for the first time in the DSM-5, the American Psychiatric Association’s guide to mental disorders. To further study the condition, H.E.A.L. launched

in New York, Boston, Pittsburgh and San Diego roughly four years ago. Researchers at Columbia University, Massachusetts General Hospital, University of Pittsburgh, UC San Diego and the San Diego VA Medical Center set out to compare the effectiveness of antidepressants alone or in combination with complicated grief treatment in individuals who have been grieving at least six months and who meet criteria for complicated grief. Symptoms include a preoccupation with the person who has died, longing and yearning that does not substantially subside with time, and difficulty reestablishing a meaningful life. “This is, by far, the largest study of its kind ever done,” said Zisook, who serves as a distinguished professor of psychiatry and director of residency training at UC San Diego, and a research scientist at the San Diego VA Medical Center. “It’s a condition that very little is known about because it hasn’t really been recognized for very long, so it hasn’t been studied very much. It’s now being increasingly recognized as a chronic and debilitating condition for which there is help.” The study is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and American

Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Researchers hope to recruit roughly 600 participants, Zisook said. Half of the participants are given complicated grief therapy, while the other half are given the therapy plus citalopram, an antidepressant also known as Celexa. The treatment phase lasts for 16 weeks, with follow-up assessments afterward. Although the study is still ongoing, researchers have already recognized several risk factors. Complicated grief is more common in women than men. People who lose someone suddenly or by suicide are also more susceptible, Zisook said. Parents who lose a child are at high risk. “Our hope is this will lead to treatments that are going to be used and available to help thousands, if not millions, of people worldwide,” Zisook said. “There’s lots of interest in this area and in this study.” The San Diego site is still accepting participants. If you are struggling from complicated grief and are between the ages of 18 and 95, you may be eligible to participate. If you are interested and think you may be eligible, call 858-552-7598.

Accomplished CCA teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing career continues to flourish BY KRISTINA HOUCK Playwright Devyn Krevat will soon see her script come to life. And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 17 years old. The Canyon Crest Academy seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fairy Taleâ&#x20AC;? will debut in March during Playwrights Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29th annual Plays by Young Writers festival, which features winning scripts from its California Young Playwrights Contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so rare to get something put on stage,â&#x20AC;? Devyn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a crazy opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Playwrights Project received 165 contest submissions from students across the state. Four scripts will receive full professional productions, and five scripts will receive staged readings. All contest participants who requested feedback received individualized written critiques. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting because winners get their play produced in a professional theater with professional actors and professional designers,â&#x20AC;? said Program Manager and Producer Derek Livingston,

Devyn Krevatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fairy Taleâ&#x20AC;? will debut in March at the Plays by Young Writers festival. Courtesy photo who spearheaded the evaluation process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get to go through the whole process of playwriting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; writing a play, having it chosen, sitting in on production meetings, working with the director, watching it in rehearsal and ultimately seeing it on stage in front of an audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no greater chance for a playwright of any age to develop as a writer than to go through that process. To do so at such a young age is tremendously helpful.â&#x20AC;?

The roughly 20-minute play, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fairy Tale,â&#x20AC;? features a narrator who fights for control as traditional fairy tale characters defy their prescribed roles. Devyn wrote a 10-minute version of the play two years ago, during a writing camp at Stanford Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Education Program for Gifted Youth. She submitted a revised version to Playwrights Project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The narrator is trying to tell the story, but his characters are acting out against him because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

not happy with the situation that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re placed in,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of tired of it.â&#x20AC;? Founded in 1985, Playwrights Project reaches as many as 15,000 people each year through a variety of programs for children and adults. Devyn discovered her passion for playwriting when the nonprofit organization held a writing workshop at Solana Pacific Elementary School. Then a sixth grader, she won a staged reading of her first play, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Case of the Missing Pencil Tips,â&#x20AC;? in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theater is the only art form where you have that connection with the audience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to have them present and responding,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool to write a play and then see it put on.â&#x20AC;? Devyn is founder and president of her schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creative Writing Club, which launched its annual CCA Writers Conference in 2012. In addition to writing, she enjoys playing piano and guitar. She plans to study mathematics and

playwriting in college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devyn is a very bright young woman,â&#x20AC;? said Livingston, who has worked in theater for 25 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She really knows and has a sense of when things are working and when the story isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being told quite the way she imagined or hoped. It is very exciting to watch her because she is almost a professional at this point, having done this process before.â&#x20AC;? The festival will take place March 6-16 at The Sheryl and Harvey White Stage in the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center at The Old Globe. General admission tickets cost $20. Discounted tickets for seniors, students and military cost $15. Opening night and reception tickets cost $50. To purchase tickets, call 858-384-2970 or email write@playwrightsproject. org.

The Carmel Valley resident who launched her new website, Midlife at the Oasis, last summer, recently won the global writing competition which is considered the premier contest for bloggers. “This was the most competitive year yet,” said Heather Reese, of My Husband Ate All My Ice Cream, who founded Blogger Idol in 2011. “More than 220 bloggers auditioned, and the judges rated them based on originality and how well they stood out.” Mark made it into the original Top 13 in September, and spent three months completing weekly assignments with prompts like “Reveal a secret you’ve never told anyone” and “Write a eulogy for yourself.” “Blogger Idol was a challenging, exciting and stressful experience which totally pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to write about topics that were very different for me,” Mark said. “I was really touched by the outpouring of support from my readers and was so proud to have ended the journey with Jennifer Schario Hicks, of Real Life Parenting, who is a great

‘To be a Jew’ in modern society topic of next Rohr Jewish Learning Institute course in RSF The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present “To Be a Jew in the Free World: Jewish Identity Through the Lens of Modern History,” the institute’s new six-course Winter 2014 session. Rabbi Levi Raskin of the Chabad Jewish Center of Rancho Santa Fe will conduct the classes at 7 p.m. Mondays starting Feb. 3 at Morgan Run Resort. “A recent Pew study exposed that 22 percent of Jews identify as ‘Jews with no religion,’ and for many, this is a clear indication that the landscape of Jewish identity is changing rapidly,” said Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s headquarters in Brooklyn, New York. “Our objective with this course is to initiate a discussion about Jewish identity, why it is still relevant, and what we can do to make it something our children and grandchildren will cherish for generations to come.” In “To Be a Jew in the Free World,” participants will confront questions of allegiance and issues in which Judaism and contemporary society appear to be in conflict. Looking into the past, the course explores a series of fascinating case studies, such as arguments made in the 1650s to persuade Oliver Cromwell to readmit Jews to England and how Ulysses S. Grant’s 1862 expulsion of the Jews became a defining issue in his presidential election. “To Be a Jew in the Free World” is unique in that it will likely represent the first nationwide effort to bring the Jewish community together to address these important issues since the findings of the Pew report were released in October. “The subject of identity is close to the hearts of many in our Jewish community, yet it’s a subject that is rarely discussed nowadays.” said Rabbi Levi Raskin, the local JLI instructor in RSF. “The course provides a rare opportunity to address this issue that will benefit the wider community of RSF, and we invite everyone to attend.” Like all JLI programs, “To Be a Jew in the Free World“ is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-756-7571 or visit jewishrsf.com for registration and other course-related information. JLI courses are presented in RSF, CA in conjunction with the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Education Matters/Opinion

Evolutionary revelations B Y MARSHA SUTTON When I received this email message from my Marsha Sutton cousin – “We’re doomed; we’re just so utterly doomed.” – I figured it was his usual cynical hyperbole. But after clicking the link and reading the article, I confess I share some of his gloom. The Pew Research Center’s recent survey on evolution found that 60 percent of Americans accept the principle of evolution of the human species while 33 percent don’t. [The remaining respondents were undecided.] The question was phrased to ask whether respondents believed humans have evolved over time or existed in their present form since the beginning. [http:// w w w. p e w f o r u m . org/2013/12/30/publicsviews-on-human-evolution/] The difference in opinion on this issue between Republicans and Democrats is striking. In 2009, 54 percent of Republicans and 64 percent of Democrats embraced the principle of evolution. Today. it’s 43 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats. That means the majority of Republicans and onethird of Democrats don’t believe humans have evolved over time. Of those who identify as Independents, 28 percent reject evolution. Women are 10 percentage points more likely than men to disagree with evolution, with 55 percent accepting and 38 percent rejecting (65 percent of men accept evolution and 28 percent reject it). Pew also found that the older one is, the less likely they are to support evolutionary science. Saying humans have evolved over time are 68 percent of those 18-29 years old, 60 percent of those 30-49, 59 percent of those 50-64, and 49 percent of those 65 and older. Education is also a factor. Saying they agree with evolution are 72 percent of college graduates, 62 percent of those with some college education, and 51 percent with a high school diploma or less. The survey was based on telephone interviews of 1,983 adults 18 years or old-

er, from all 50 states, between March 21 and April 8, 2013. I want to attribute the unsettling findings to the notion that scientifically-oriented people don’t respond to anonymous telephone surveys. But I’m grasping at straws. Another straw, that the margin of error might be unusually high, is also just as flimsy, because it’s only the standard 3 percentage points. So what are we to make of this survey? Just a theory? As we move to implement the new national Common Core standards in our schools, which seek to address the deficiencies in America’s education system, one wonders how educators plan to improve the academic achievement of our children when so many among us believe it’s acceptable to reject overwhelming scientific evidence about human origins in favor of an allegorical creation story. We’ve heard the argument that evolution is just a theory; therefore, it is not proven. But disputing the theory of evolution is like disagreeing with the theory of gravity. Asking people if they “believe” in evolution betrays a bias in the question itself. Would you ask someone if they “believe” in gravity? This is the definition of the word “theory,” according to LiveScience.com: “When used in non-scientific context, the word ‘theory’ implies that something is unproven or speculative. As used in science, however, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena. “A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step – known as a theory – in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.” The news over the years is peppered with reports of biology textbook controversies in state after state – notably and most recently in Texas, where self-described creationists on the state Board of Education are objecting to biology textbooks that teach evolution, Charles Darwin’s findings on the origin of our species, natural selection, DNA and fossil evidence, and the geologic age of the earth. Because Texas is so large, and its adoption of textbooks has ramifications nationally, it matters, even to far-away states like ours. When we teach our children to respectfully challenge notions that have not been rigorously substantiated and verifiably supported with well-founded scientific evidence, then we are teaching kids how to respect their natural curiosity and to be good scientists. But when we teach our kids to ignore science and reject meticulously-tested evidence, in favor of personal beliefs unsupported by any logical or objective methods, we are teaching them to disregard truth, embrace unscientific ideology, and close their minds to the reality of the world around them. As we try to elevate the intellectual power of our youth, religious convictions in fact-based science textbooks are contra-indicated for success. With Darwin’s theory of evolution universally accepted by the scientific community, teaching children alternate versions of reality is not teaching – it is indoctrination. Locally, in the San Dieguito Union High School District, we can thank trustees, the superintendent, principals, and department chairs for ensuring that science is taught, religion is respected, and both can co-exist peacefully – just not together in the classroom. God’s timepiece Americans are a deeply religious people. But that doesn’t mean religion and science have to be incompatible. According to the Pew poll, of the 60 percent who said humans have evolved over time, 32 percent say evolution is “due to natural processes such as natural selection” while 24 percent say God or a supreme deity played a role in evolution. Of all Pew’s findings, this one is the most encouraging, because it indicates that a large segment of the population (well, 24 percent of 60 percent) is able to distinguish between science and faith, and have both co-exist, each in its

PURCHASE continued from page 1 Boon said that what was written to members in the ballot materials and the intent of the sale were “not clearly one and the same” and that disconnect was at the heart of the discussions had with the RSF Garden Club last year. “The Garden Club expected access to the building and to keep the office space in perpetuity,” Boon said, noting it was a surprise to the board and they couldn’t agree to buy a building that was encumbered in that way. Hitting that stumbling block of the terms “in perpetuity,” the RSF Association went back to the RSF Garden Club to arrange a compromise to lease the office space and that if any future RSF Association board wanted to change the club’s use of the building, it would have to go to a vote of the membership and the club would be given a year to vacate. “I don’t know if I’ve clearly stated how difficult this was,” Boon said of the process to work through all of the outstanding issues. “It took a long time to do it.” Now that the negotiations have ended, RSF Association Director Heather Slosar made a motion to have another community-wide vote on the purchase. It failed 3-4 with only Slosar, Craig McAllister and Boon voting in favor of another vote. Boon said that the community voted in April on just the “skeleton concept” of the deal and now that there’s more flesh on it, the community should be allowed to vote again rather than give the community members personal assurances that the agreement is faithful to what they voted on. “I do feel it’s important to have the community vote on the specifics and not just the concept,” Boon said. RSF Association Director Larry Spitcaufsky disagreed and said the letter of intent spelled it out accurately and not one change has been made to the deal other than the eight days per year that the club would like to use the building being upped to 15. RSF Association Director Jerry Yahr said the board did stumble over the terms “in perpetuity” but everyone worked tirelessly to come up with a solution. “The current deal on the table satisfies our conditions and fairly represents what the community voted on last April. I don’t believe

Rancho Santa Fe Review we need another vote at this time,” Yahr said. “It takes a long time to put these transactions together… I personally feel we’re ready to move forward.” RSF Association Director Rochelle Putnam said they went into a bit of a “rabbit hole” on the office space issue but it has now been resolved and she doesn’t believe there is anything new in the deal that the community hasn’t already voted 81 percent in favor of. The purchase documents will next be submitted to attorneys for a fairness appraisal; then the documents must be approved by the Attorney General of California. It is the hope that the approval and close of escrow would be complete by April. During public comment, people shared opinions on both sides on whether a new vote was necessary. Dean Curtis, a member of the RSF Association Finance Committee, said in the interest of full disclosure, if the terms of the deal have changed then it needs to be brought back to the membership for an honest report of what’s going on. Some wondered if the vote was taken too soon, before all the deal’s wrinkles were ironed out. Many argued that the lease is a strong enough point and that the community should re-vote. Other Covenant members felt it was time to move on. “This deal, this opportunity to buy this corner and preserve it for Rancho Santa Fe and future generations is one of the most positive opportunities we’ve had since the Covenant Enhancement Fund started,” said former board member Anne McCarthy, urging the board to get the deal done. RSF Garden Club President Helen DiZio wanted it to be clear that by purchasing the building, the RSF Association is not “saving the Garden Club.” “What we are is a charitable foundation but it hasn’t been able to be that charitable organization because of the building… We’ve spent a lot of time taking care of this building and that’s not what we’re about.” The RSF Garden Club once had more than 2,000 members, but now has around 300 members and some Covenant members say it no longer makes sense for the club to have a building of that size. “[The building] makes sense for the community as a whole, it should be main-

tained for the community,” Dizio said. The club will continue to use the building for events 15 times a year, utilize the office space and run The Upscale Resale Shoppe, under a 10-year lease with the RSF Association. As stated in last year’s letter of understanding between the RSF Association and RSF Garden Club, proceeds from the purchase price will be deposited into a special Community Fund at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation and an oversight panel will be in charge of awarding grant monies to Rancho Santa Fe’s nonprofit organizations. The average net annual return on funds at the Foundation for the last 10 years has been a very positive 6.4 percent, according to RSF Foundation Executive Director Christy Wilson. Based on a 6.4 percent payout rate, the amount of funds available to community groups annually could be $152,000. The projected net annual cost of operating the club, including reserve requirements, is $55,000 and will be covered from funds allocated to the Covenant Enhancement Fund, which is 2.5 cents from the 14-cent assessment rate. In the current fiscal year, that fund will generate $958,000. As far as how the RSF Association board communicated the status of the deal to the public, former RSF Association Board President Bill Hinchy noted it’s a lot more difficult to let people know what’s going on when the board meets only in executive session and now meets only once a month. RSF resident Deb Plummer said she recently read that the RSF Association staff is busier than ever and yet there are 50 percent fewer open meetings, giving the appearance that things are being done behind closed doors. Boon said she agreed that they should have had more public conversations but said the board chose to keep the discussions in executive session. “I’m a very big proponent of transparency of the board and discussions that are open to all points of view,” Boon said. “We’ve done a less than perfect job communicating to members and I hope we can correct that.” Boon also said they had hoped that having one meeting a month would help out the staff but admitted it’s been difficult to conduct business and might not be the best way proceed going forward.

FAULCONER continued from page 1

can and Alvarez is a Democrat, although the mayor’s office is officially non-partisan. Faulconer said he can appeal to a broad range of San Diegans due to his ability to work with members of both parties to achieve the city’s goals. But he faces a demographic challenge, as Democrats enjoy a substantial registration advantage over Republicans in San Diego. According to the county Registrar of Voters office, 39 percent of the city’s 652,429 registered voters are Democrats, 26 percent are Republicans, and 28 percent indicate no party preference. “It’s not about being a Republican or Democrat, but what’s best for San Diego. That’s how you win elections,” Faulconer said. Faulconer does enjoy an advantage in one statistical measure — campaign funds. Recently filed campaign statements showed Faulconer raised $1.4 million in 2013, compared to $524,000 for Alvarez. During his tenure on the council, Faulconer said he has worked to make the city more financially stable, including efforts to reform employee pensions and require city employees to compete for contracts against private firms, a process called “managed competition.” Pension reforms have included a 2012 ballot measure, in which city voters approved the elimination of guaranteed pensions for new city workers other than police officers, replacing them with a 401k-style retirement savings plan. Still, the city’s pension costs continue to climb. This year’s city pension contribution is $275 million, from a $2.8 billion total budget. When he took office, said Faulconer, the annual pension contribution was $165 million. The city has also moved to implement managed competition and, according to Faulconer’s staff, will save $10 million per year thanks to the five competitions held so far, all won by city employees, including such services as fleet maintenance and printing. Additional competitions are planned for such services as trash pickup. Another priority if elected, said Faulconer, is streamlining the development review process so that plans for new construction and remodeling projects, whether for businesses or residents, are reviewed with-

in a set period of time. Too often, he said, projects have been unnecessarily delayed due to ponderous processing by city departments. Amid an electrifying playoff run by the San Diego Chargers, Faulconer said that as mayor he would support a proposal for a new Chargers stadium if it makes financial sense, and if it is approved by voters, possibly at either the city or countywide level. He would not commit to being either for or against the use of public funds to help pay for a new stadium. “I’m not convinced we need to use public funds,” he said. “My priority is using public funds for our neighborhoods, and not for a new stadium.” Another priority, Faulconer said, is increased staffing and retention for the San Diego Police Department, which he said is short by 130 officers. On the contentious issue of medical marijuana dispensaries, Faulconer said he supports access to the drug for people who need it, along with protections for San Diego neighborhoods. He said a revised medical marijuana ordinance is expected to come before the City Council soon. Faulconer did not offer a position on One Paseo, a controversial proposed mixed-use development in Carmel Valley, but said the city should weigh community concerns with clearly delineated development rules in an open and transparent process. And he also would seek to resolve the issue of noxious odors caused by animal waste in and around La Jolla Cove, which led to a lawsuit filed against the city last month by frustrated business owners. Any solution must make sense for both the environment and neighbors, he said. “I’m not sure what that is but we need to be creative and figure that out,” he said. Faulconer criticized a steep hike to the city’s “linkage fee,” imposed on developers to pay for affordable housing, which was approved by a divided City Council in November. Alvarez supported the measure and Faulconer opposed it. “We should be making it easier for businesses to expand,” Faulconer said. “The damage it will do while we are trying to create jobs is a huge reason I was opposed to it.” Note: A feature on candidate David Alvarez will run in an upcoming issue of this newspaper.

REVELATIONS continued from page 21 own realm. A Catholic nun I once met told me she fully endorsed the theory of evolution as fact, based on all the incontrovertible scientific evidence. But she also said that science and religion need not be mutually exclusive. Although she firmly believed that God made the world and all things in it in six days of creation, her way of reconciling the two positions was this: “We just don’t know what kind of a watch God has.” However, George Coyne, a Roman Catholic priest and former director of the Vatican Observatory who holds a Ph.D. in astronomy, issued a statement in 2005 about what’s called “intelligent design,” saying it “isn’t science even though it pretends to be. If you want to teach it in schools, intelligent design should be taught when religion or cultural history is taught, not science.” Many religious schools teach evolution as part of their science curriculum and teach the biblical stories of creation in classes on religion. The hoped-for result is that students come away with a scientific understanding of the universe and how life on earth was formed, and are able to successfully integrate their faith-based beliefs to complement rather than undermine the science. I’m reminded of famous astronomer Carl Sagan who, when speaking about the majesty of the universe, said the beauty of the cosmos and the laws of nature allow space for a belief in God. However, Sagan also said, “It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.” Evolution need not threaten religious faith. But let’s not allow religious beliefs to threaten instruction in science. Teach our children science in biology classes – and leave religion for theology lessons and for churches, synagogues and mosques. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local dance icon celebrates birthday with a unique show

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT For 40 years, from the groundbreaking Three’s Company to the multi-dimensional San Diego Dance Theater, Jean Isaacs has been a major force on the local dance scene. Now the award-winning choreographer is celebrating her 70th birthday with a dance extravaganza on the UCSD campus where she taught for 25 years. “There the Dance Is,” coming to the Mandell Weiss Theatre Jan. 17-19, offers a mix of stylish and impish choreography, live choral and cabaret music, and features students and colleagues from Isaac’s long and productive life in dance. Onstage, along with eight company members from SDDT, whose artistic director Isaacs has been since 1997, will be six UCSD dance department alumni. Besides Isaacs’ own choreography, the program will include a new piece by Monica Bill Barnes, a New Yorkbased performer/choreographer, who studied dance with Isaacs two decades ago while working toward her B.A. in Theater and Philosophy. Barnes, whose work celebrates the humor and theatricality of everyday life, expanded her fan base last year when she toured with NPR’s Ira Glass in “Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host.” She calls San Diego her

San Diego Dance Theater artistic director Jean Isaacs, rehearsing with her assistant Blythe Barton in 2012. (Photo/Kira Corser) “second home, artistically,” and maintains a close relationship with Isaacs, contributing pieces to Isaacs’ annual “Trolley Dances” and teaching summer classes at SDDT. Her new piece, which will kick off the show, is set to a trio of songs sung by Judy Garland. Following Barnes will be something completely different: an Isaacs piece set to the soaring

sounds of “O Magnum Mysterium,” sung by the 24-voice choral ensemble SACRA PROFANA. The second part of the program will be a selection of Isaacs’ “Cabaret Dances,” reimagining a pre-WW II cabaret in Berlin. One of the highlights will be a solo “on pointe” by Dance Theater‘s Trystan Loucado, just back from an 18-month tour with

music will be all Kurt Weill, including such favorites as the “Whiskey Bar” song from the 1930 Brecht/Weill opera, “Mahagonny,” and “September Song,” from the 1938 Broadway musical, “Knickerbocker Holiday.” Musical accompaniment will be provided by pianist Steve Baker — dean of arts at Grossmont College and SDDT’s music director, who also happens to be Isaac’s husband — and local jazz singer Rachel Drexler. The show is a happy return to the UCSD campus for Isaacs, who retired from the dance department in 2007, but is still going strong at the helm of SDDT. “I’m resurrecting some of my old pieces and creating new ones,” Isaacs said. “I feel privileged to be able to be able to sustain the energy to do it this long.”

Jean Isaacs, in 1974. (Photo/Jim Coit) Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, the all-male company famous for its parodies of classical ballet. Another notable solo will be Isaac’s “White Dress,” originally created for Terry Wilson, now professor of dance at City College, who re-set the piece on Isaac’s daughter, Liv Isaacs-Nollet. “It’s exciting to pass the dance on to the next generation,” Isaacs said. The cabaret will be emceed by recently-retired UCSD theater professor Jim Winker, and the

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Mainly Mozart’s 26th season to kick off in Rancho Santa Fe Jan. 24 Mainly Mozart’s 26th season includes concerts by some of today’s most exciting chamber musicians. Beginning Jan. 24, Mainly Mozart will present seven performances at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club (the series is also held in La Jolla and Carlsbad). One of San Diego’s leading producers of chamber music, Mainly Mozart has produced its Spotlight Chamber Series since 1996. The Spotlight Chamber Series evenings take place January through June in three venues throughout San Diego: the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, Rancho Santa Fe; The Auditorium at TSRI (formerly The Neurosciences Institute), La Jolla; and St. Elizabeth Seton Church, Carlsbad. During the 2014 festival, Spotlight concerts take place in May and early June. Mainly Mozart’s 2013-2014 Spotlight Chamber Series is overseen by series curator Anne-Marie McDermott, internationally renowned piano soloist and artist of the famed Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. This series offers memorable chamber music concerts ranging from solo recitals to trios, quartets and quintets, and conversations with top artists. The 2014 Mainly Mozart Festival, which opens May 9 with the Spotlight series and concludes June 21 with the final Festival Orchestra concert, continues with the new Festival Series format that met with much success in summer 2013. Offering concerts and events in five different series, the festival features the crown jewel, the Mainly Mozart Festival Orchestra, the sought-after Spotlight series, and three new series introduced by the organization this past season: Mozart & the Mind, Chamber Players and Evolution.

Chandler’s Falafel Crab Cake

Chandler’s outdoor patio provides an ocean view.

BY KELLEY CARLSON handler’s is a standout in south Carlsbad. First, it is the only restaurant in that part of the city that faces the Coast Highway (aka Carlsbad Boulevard). As part of the Hilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Resort & Spa, it offers guests an opportunity to dine on coastal regional cuisine and imbibe specialty cocktails, such as the Espresso-tini, while watching pictureworthy ocean sunsets. Second, the establishment is fairly spacious with 200 seats among the Craftsman-style dining room and outdoor patios. Walk-ins can usually be accommodated, but reservations are still recommended, especially on weekends, according to Executive Chef Pascal Vignau. People enjoy gathering around the outside fire pit and fireplace, and many are lured by local artists playing lively music from 5 to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Another unique aspect of Chandler’s is its menu. The French-born Vignau (former owner/chef of Savory in Encinitas and executive chef at Four Seasons Resort Aviara) specializes in simple “comfort” foods that are contemporary. Dishes change seasonally, based on the available ingredients. Daily breakfast items range from egg dishes and cereals to breads and smoothies, while lunch focuses on light fare such as soups, salads, flatbreads and sandwiches. Among the midday standouts are the Chicken Noodle Soup, a blend of broth, chicken and pasta; the Baby Kale Salad with strawberries, julienne of green apple, avocado, cacao nibs and a sunny-side up egg, dressed with red wine vinaigrette; the moist, gluten-free Falafel Crab Cake in a lemon caper aioli; and the sauce-free White

The dining room and bar at Chandler’s features a contemporary design mixed with wooden beams in the Craftman’s style. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON Flatbread with toppings of artichokes, goat cheese, spinach, mozzarella, parmesan flakes and garlic. For dinner, there’s the soft and buttery Porcini-Dusted Diver Scallops with heirloom potatoes, artichoke hearts and Bloomsdale spinach, covered with smoked almonds and a peppercorn beurre blanc; the tender CrabCrusted Sea Bass on a bed of spinach and mushrooms in buerre blanc; and the AirDried 12-oz. Rib-Eye Steak with parmesan truffle fries and a peppercorn sauce. Dessert options include the Crunchy Salted Caramel Chocolate Bar consisting of layers of chocolate mousse, salted caramel chocolate ganache and a crispy bottom; and the Creme Brulee of the Week in flavors such as coffee, amaretto, ginger and vanilla.

Chandler’s aims to make weekends special with Saturday afternoon tea and Sunday brunch. Tea time is observed 1-3 p.m. Saturdays, as patrons sip on classic varieties and exotic blends, ranging from Earl Grey to Green Mango Peach. To accompany the hot drinks, there are buttery scones with Sultana raisins that are baked as needed and served warm with Vignau’s lemon curd and rose petal jam, along with bite-sized desserts. Reservations are required. Among the specialties of the plated Sunday brunch (11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) are the signature Bloody Marys (including the BLT), Duck Confit Hash, Fresh Daily Quiche, 92011 CA Poached Eggs and the Monte Cristo. ◆

Young musician to play at Museum of Contemporary Art BY KRISTINA HOUCK Kayla Iwane turned to music when she and her family had to flee Japan to escape the effects of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Now a part-time local resident and a senior at Idyllwild Arts Academy, the 18-year-old will perform alongside her classmates Feb. 2 at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music very much helped me,â&#x20AC;? said Kayla, who has played the violin for 13 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time I feel lost, music is the only thing that keeps me going.â&#x20AC;? Born in Japan, Kayla was attending Interlochen Arts Academy boarding high school in Michigan when the Fukushima facility started releasing radioactive material in March 2011. To be closer to her family, she returned to Japan and enrolled in an arts school in her hometown of Wakayama. Less than 400 miles away from the plant, the city wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t devastated from the nuclear accident. Nevertheless, Kaylaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Cathy Iwane, found high levels of contamination in fish and trace elements of contamination in milk. Using a Geiger counter, a tool that measures ionizing radiation in the atmosphere, she tested her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food for a year before she and her husband decided it was time to relocate their family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was affecting all the food, so

Kayla said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really sad because I lived in Japan for 16 years. All my friends are there. I came here without knowing anybody in San Diego. It was hard in the beginning.â&#x20AC;? Kaylaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and 14-year-old sister, Alyssa, live in Del Mar. An activist for safety, Cathy Iwane fought the effort to restart the San Onofre nuclear power plant. Kaylaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father still lives part-time in Japan, where his company is based. Kayla is one of 300 students enrolled at the boarding arts high school in Idyllwild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love performing because of the adrenaline,â&#x20AC;? said Kayla, who enrolled as a junior at the academy in September 2012. She plans to attend a music conservatory after high school.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like that feeling and reacting to the audience. I just love it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my favorite thing to do.â&#x20AC;? Featuring Kayla and her peers, the Idyllwild Arts Academy Orchestra is set to perform a selection of concert pieces, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeo and Julietâ&#x20AC;? by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prelude and Scherzoâ&#x20AC;? by Dmitri Shostakovich during a free concert on Feb. 2.

Athenaeum hosts reception for two new exhibits Matthew Hebert creates works that deal with technology and its effects on the environment and the human sense of place. His latest exhibition, “Cover to Cover,” will be shown Jan. 11-Feb. 15 in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery and the North Reading Room at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, 1008 Wall St, La Jolla. An opening reception will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10. Hebert’s awardwinning work has been shown internationally. In “Cover to Cover” (on loan from the collection), he presents a new body of work that draws inspiration from artists’ books in the Athenaeum’s collection. Developed during a period of study at the Athenaeum, Hebert found sources for sculptural interventions within the library. These interventions incorporate lighting, motion, and sound in an effort to represent and/or reinterpret the original materials. In addition to these site-specific interactions with the Athenaeum, Hebert will exhibit six

Jeanne Dunn, “Entwined,” oil on canvas, 36 x 80 inches, 2013.

Jeanne Dunn works on installation piece for her Athenaeum show. Courtesy photos opaque displays. These are sculptural objects that house mechanical dioramas depicting works of postminimalist art. These pieces will serve as an introduction to Hebert’s work and set the stage for visitors’ subsequent experience within the Athenaeum. Hebert received his B.A.

in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley; and his MFA at California College of the Arts. He has taught at several schools including the University of Wisconsin — Madison, CalArts and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is an Associate Professor of Furniture at San Diego State

University. Also showing Jan. 11– Feb. 15 and sharing the opening reception is Jeanne Dunn’s “Wild Walk,” in the Rotunda Gallery. “Wild Walk” is a painterly examination of the simultaneous fear-and-thrill of going into the wild. “My canvases and drawings explore the

ambivalent response we have to untamed nature,” Dunn writes in a press release. “Setting out in pursuit of a perfect day’s journey, we discover that tree limbs can truly be limbs, especially when they reach out to snare, caress, irritate or slap. Amidst the verdant beauty at hand, there is also foreboding, fear, alarm and distrust of the senses. “The visual drama of up-close trees and thick underbrush tell contradictory stories of nature’s danger and its primordial pull, paired with the promise of solace and wisdom.” Dunn received her B.S. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and her M.A. from San Diego State

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Locally-based Moms Making Six Figures goes international It started as a local business. Heidi Bartolotta quit her job and founded Moms Making Six Figures with two other women in December 2009 to allow women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income. Four years later, the San Diego-based company now helps moms work from home across the United States and overseas. “It’s amazing what’s happened in that amount of time,” Bartolotta said. “I knew there were other women like me, but I didn’t realize how many.” Bartolotta worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative for 12 years. After having two daughters, she no longer wanted to work late and travel. She wanted to be home. “Women are looking for different avenues,” said Bartolotta, whose daughters are now 7 and 10 years old. “There are so many women that would like the flexibility to have their schedule be their own schedule.” Moms Making Six Figures represents a U.S.-based manufacturer. The marketing company has grown to more than 100 team members, about a third working full time. Team members come from different backgrounds, edu-

cation levels, work experience and locations, Bartolotta said. Although the company launched in San Diego, there are now team members across the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom and Australia. “We’re all really very much the same, no matter which country we’re in,” Bartolotta said. “We all have the same desires to make our family our priority. A mom is a mom, no matter which country we’re in.” Looking to expand her team at home and abroad, Bartolotta encourages interested women to contact her by filling out a form on the company’s website at www.momsmakingsixfigures.com/contact. “You just have to be willing to learn something different because it’s different,” Bartolotta said. “Take a leap of faith.” For more information, call 858-837-1505 or visit momsmakingsixfigures.com.

Director Harvey Hubbell will be in attendance at the event for a question and answer session following the movie. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to discuss his interviews and interactions with some very famous dyslexic profes-

sionals and some renowned researchers in the fields of dyslexia/reading disorders, learning and brain development,” said Steven Mayo, the director of the NewBridge School and a member of the executive board of directors of the San Diego branch of the International Dyslexia Association. “Dislecksia” seeks to raise awareness for individuals of all ages who are unnecessarily struggling to thrive and be understood, and to discuss dyslexia as a learning difference, not a learning disability. The film weaves together class-

room footage, interviews with neuroscientists and educators, as well as business leaders and high profile celebrities with dyslexia who are advocates of Hubbell’s beliefs. Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance at dislecksiathemovie.bpt.me Cathedral Catholic High School is located at 5555 Del Mar Heights Road, San Diego (Carmel Valley), 92130.

Local girl honored in float during Rose Parade BY KRISTINA HOUCK India Phillips died two years ago, but her kidneys helped another person live. The Solana Beach girl was honored for her organ donation during the 2014 Rose Parade in Pasadena. “It is quite an honor,” said India’s mother, Kim Phillips, prior to the New Year’s Day event. India was a happy and seemingly healthy 4-year-old, but fever and leg pain on Halloween 2011 prompted a visit to Rady Children’s Hospital. On the way to an MRI, her heart stopped. She was revived, but died 36 hours later from Group A Strep. Because of the damage from the bacterial infection, most of India’s organs went to research. But her kidneys went to a woman in San Diego. “Tragedies happen,” said Phillips, who lives in Solana Beach with her husband, Jeff, and their 8-year-old daughter Trinity. “If you don’t need your organs, why wouldn’t you give them away?” The Donate Life Rose Parade float has served as a memorial to organ and tissue donors and a platform for donor families, living donors and transplant recipients since 2004. This year’s float remembered 81 donors, including India, who represented San Diego. India’s parents and sister decorated her part of the float along with dozens of other families on Dec. 21. Using organic materials, such as spices, seeds and crushed flowers, India’s loved ones created a “floragraph” portrait of her beautiful blonde-haired, blueeyed face.

According to Donate Life, 18 people die each day in the United States waiting for an organ transplant. Last year, 76 San Diegans died waiting because there weren’t enough donors. To honor India and raise awareness of organ donation, the Phillips family created a foundation in her name. Through the India Phillips Foundation, her family, friends and supporters have donated gifts and hosted birthday parties for children at a local homeless shelter, as well as provided wheelchairs to children and adults in the U.S. and abroad. A running group called Team India runs in her honor and raises funds for the foundation. The group donates half of its funds to Donate Life. “You just hope that nobody forgets your child,” Phillips said. “Donate Life is such a gift because it saves lives.

Sow some wild ones for National Oatmeal Month The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN In January more oatmeal is consumed than any other time of year (and not just by horses and livestock), honoring the cereal with its monthly food holiday. Not just a modern quick-fix breakfast, oats have been unclogging arteries of the ancient Greeks and Chinese for thousands of years. Today oatmeal accounts for 10 percent of all breakfasts across the land, and is slipping into savory dishes and desserts. Here’s a primer to get the best out of this low gluten, blockbuster grain. Feel Your Oats Not all oats are created equal. After raw oats are harvested, different processes produce assorted products. Here’s the grain line-up: Hearty, whole oat groats are minimally processed, removing the hulls, while preserving the nutrient-rich bran and germ. Although these have the longest cooking time, they are

your friends with the most benefits, including the highest fiber content. Irish oatmeal or steel cut oats are from groats that have been thinly sliced with steel blades creating a chewy, dense textured cereal that cooks quicker than whole oats. Scottish oatmeal is made from groats that have been stone ground to create bits and pieces making a creamy, softer porridge. Regular old-fashioned rolled oats are created by steaming the grain then rolling into flakes. This process increases the surface area for quicker cooking. Instant rolled oats are even thinner than old-fashioned, and steamed for a longer period, slashing cooking time. Oat bran is derived from the outer layer of the grain beneath the hull, for a cholesterol-busting oomph. Oat flour is made by grinding rolled oats into a fine powder used as a soup thickener or flour substitute for baking. The Perks of Porridge Oatmeal and oats are soluble-fiber powerhouses packed with folate and protein, iron, bone boosting calcium and phosphorus, manganese and magnesium to stabilize insulin and glucose levels, blood pressure and jumpy nerves, and Vitamin E, selenium and zinc providing immune boosting antioxidants. The venerable Mayo Clinic ranks oatmeal

amongst the top five foods to lower LDL (bad cholesterol). The grain has also been credited with reducing breast cancer risk, along with Type 2 Diabetes, and as an added boon prevent weight gain. Finally, although oats contain a small amount of gluten, studies have shown them to be well tolerated by those with gluten sensitivities. A Germ of an Idea Expand your oatmeal horizons with an explosion of flavors in your breakfast bowl. Try a tropical blend with coconut milk (or a splash of coconut rum), mango, pineapple and toasted macadamias. Do a Canadian riff with wild blueberries, cranberries and maple syrup. Or for savory palates crumble crispy turkey bacon and a sprinkling of smoky salt. Whip up a strawberry, banana and oatmeal smoothie to wash it down nicely. Some savory dishes include a sweet potato casserole with a crumbled oats, pecans and brown sugar topping, and oatmeal scallion pancakes with ginger soy sauce. Add toasted oats to burgers and meatloaves as a binding agent. For sweet tooths use rolled oats or oat flour in quick breads, muffins, pancakes, apricot bars and almond biscotti. Or try my family’s favorite oatmeal date cookies for a healthy hidden dose of the super grain.

Wholesome Date and Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies • Cookie ingredients 3 cups rolled oats 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 cup canola oil 1/2 cup almond milk 4 drops almond extract 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice • Filling Ingredients 1 pound dates Juice from half a lemon or orange Method: Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add the melted butter, oil, milk, extract and juice to form a dough. Flour a board. Roll dough into a 1/4-inch thick layer. Cut cookie shapes with the rim of a juice glass dipped in flour. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and bake cookies until golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool. To prepare the filling combine dates, one cup of water and juice of your choice in a small saucepan. Cook on low and stir until melted and smooth. Spread the filling on one cookie and top with another making a sandwich. For additional sleep-aid recipes e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Penn State’s Sandusky scandal to be reviewed at Jan. 11 event in San Diego Franco Harris, a NFL Hall of Fame running back who played at Penn State University, will host “Upon Further Review: Penn State Two Years Later,” on Saturday, Jan. 11, in San Diego. The town hall meeting will examine the handling and coverage of the child molestation scandal involving former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, who was convicted of 45 counts of child sexual abuse in 2012. Under review will be the Freeh Report, sanctions by the NCAA on the Penn State football program, the university’s crisis management, the mainstream media’s reaction and the impact on the legacy of former head football coach Joe Paterno and the Penn State football program. The free meeting will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, 1 Park Boulevard in San Diego. Doors will open at 10 a.m. and attendees are encouraged to arrive early to ensure seating, which is on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will be streamed live at new. livestream.com/hyperboyfilms/ events/2666882. “From the charges of the Freeh Report to the sanctions of the NCAA and the decisions of the Penn State Board of Trustees,

the ongoing debate over Coach Paterno has had a dramatic effect on Joe’s legacy and the Penn State football program,” said Harris in a statement. “I’m eager to host a panel of experts to give the audience the latest information on the situation.” Harris has consistently defended Paterno, telling various news outlets that it was wrong of the PSU Board of Trustees to fire the longtime head football coach and to turn its back on the university. “After reading the Freeh Report and absorbing all the facts in the last two years, I feel even more strongly about Joe and about his noninvolvement in any type of cover up,” Harris said. “There was no cover-up by the athletic department or the football program. No way would Joe ever cover up anything like this, and there’s no way Joe would protect Sandusky to protect the football program.” This view was recently corroborated by Frank Fina, the Sandusky Prosecuting Attorney, who came out on “60 Minutes Sports” saying that his investigation found no evidence that Joe Paterno was involved in any sort of cover-up.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Commentary/Opinion

Rant with Randi: Behaving Badly BY RANDI CRAWFORD I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season. My family went to Colorado, where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent Christmas for as long as I can remember. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like the fresh mountain air, skiing all day with a frozen face, drinking hot cocoa in the lodge and waking up to a white Christmas. And I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave out singing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve at the Prince of Peace Church, where my husband and I were married 17 years ago. But this year, one conversation kept creeping up on a daily basis: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you have to be so rude to people in order to amass an such an incredible amount of wealth, or is it acquired once you become wealthy because of the way other people treat you?â&#x20AC;? It felt like everywhere we went this year, people were behaving badly (the ski lodge, on lift lines, renting ski equipment, in stores, or in restaurants). Example: I was in a retail store in Aspen buying something small for the lady who watches our dogs, and mid-purchase, a woman (dripping in perfume, fur and her entourage) came up, threw down a $20 bill on the counter and told the sales clerk to give her change immediately. It was reprehensible of her to think that this sales clerk would drop what he was doing for me and give her change at that exact moment, but it made me wonder what makes her think that people will drop whatever they are doing to help her. In other words, was she always this rude or did she become this way because people have treated her differently knowing that she can be a huge customer and can keep the economy booming with all her wealth? This type of behavior happened everywhere on this trip. Sometimes it affected me directly, and sometimes I just people watched and sat in awe.

By my last day in Aspen, I had encountered one too many of these gals, and decided that I was done. My family was at the Aspen airport waiting for our flight, along with a lot of other people all crammed into a tiny airport. At one point, I decided to stand up and move around before we boarded, and I started a conversation with a very nice young lady. After 15 minutes, my family all got up to join me. I was enjoying the moment, waiting to board, when a guy came up from behind me and very rudely said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you ever going to move?â&#x20AC;? What? And it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even the rudeness of the statement, but the way he said it. It took me a moment to realize that he was talking to me. So this time I turned around, I looked him in the eye and told him to stop being so rude. He then proceeded to argue with me and tell me that I was being ridiculous. And no, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it go. I told this guy to get a clue and stop being a jerk. And yes, my entire family wanted to disown me. But I had put up with this self-centered behavior for a week, and sometimes, enough is enough. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one for causing a scene, but

January 9, 2014

people need to realize that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all about them all of the time. Once we were on the plane, my family members all agreed that the guy was a total jerk and could have said something much nicer if he wanted me to move. But, they also said that I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have said anything for everyone in the airport to hear. Sorry guys, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not who I am. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the deal -- if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a scene, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a jerk. For the record, I believe that you do need to have the â&#x20AC;&#x153;meâ&#x20AC;? attitude in order to become successful, but that should never mean being rude to anyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ever.

Jonathan Worsey, M.D., as the new chief of staff of the 318-bed facility. Worsey took over as head of the 900-member physician team on Jan. 1. During his two-year term, Worsey will serve as medical staff liaison to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jollaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative staff and Scripps Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors. Worsey will play a key role in driving continuous quality improvement in the delivery of health care services to the more than 125,000 patients cared for annually at the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Worsey brings to this position strong leadership and sound judgment, and has been a passionate supporter of Scripps La Jolla through the years,â&#x20AC;? said Gary G. Fybel, the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will continue to be a central figure in the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future growth and pursuit of world-class status.â&#x20AC;?

He will also provide medical staff input into the major expansion and renovation projects under way on the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus, including the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute, which is scheduled to open for patient care in 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great honor to be chosen to lead the world class medical staff that we have here at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and to follow in the footsteps of the Dr. Evans and the other distinguished chiefs of staff that preceded him,â&#x20AC;? said Worsey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The changes and challenges facing health care providers, both physicians and hospitals, are perhaps greater now than at any time in a generation. I am looking forward to representing the medical staff in their continued collaboration with Scripps leadership to adapt to and thrive in this new environment so we can continue to provide the best medical care to our patients.â&#x20AC;? Worsey has been a member of the medical staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla since 1999 and has held numerous medical staff leadership positions, including chief of surgery.

Ricochet is the only dog in the world that surfs as an assistive aid to those with physical, emotional and psychological disabilities. Ricochet surfed with retired Staff Sergeant Randall Dexter who served two tours in Iraq and now suffers with PTSD. “Surfing with Ricochet definitely helps with my symptoms. She has a way of making me feel completely at ease. It’s not just surfing with a dog, it’s more of a spiritual connection,” said Dexter. Ricochet and Randy have also created the PTSD Battle Buddy Initiative to help other active duty service members and veterans with PTSD http://

Gina has autism and first met Ricochet at a surfing event where she found the courage to stand up on the board while riding with Ricochet. After that session, Gill left a comment on Ricochet’s Facebook page all the way from Afghanistan, “Ricochet, I’m Gina’s Dad, thank you very much for surfing with her again. She loves it! I only wish I could have been there to see it in person.” Gill’s wish finally came true! Ricochet also surfed with many other people with disabilities.

Accomplished TPHS volleyball player Reily Buechler ready to bring her outstanding skills to UCLA BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High volleyball player Reily Buechler is having a senior year to remember. The 6’2’’ outside hitter was one of only 100 players nationwide to be named as an “Under Armour First-Team All-America,” which meant she was one of just 24 first team athletes invited to Seattle to play in the Under Armour All-America Volleyball Match and Skills Competition on Dec. 20, 2013. In 2013, Reily was also named the All-San Diego CIF Volleyball Athlete of the Year coming off a season in which her Falcons team won the open division CIF championship, her third championship during her tenure at Torrey Pines. She has committed to play for UCLA in the fall. “Reily is a great ball control outside hitter who has the capabilities to come in and compete for a spot immediately,” said UCLA Coach Michael Sealy in a press release. “She has a high volleyball IQ and a passion to compete. Her court presence can make an immediate impact.” Buechler was also a MaxPreps Preseason All-American this season and was named the Most Valuable Player of the Durango Classic in Las Vegas for the second straight year, as TPHS again won the tournament championship. Now playing with her WAVE Volleyball team through the summer, Reily and her team hope to qualify for the Junior Olympics. Reily has been living and breathing volleyball since she was 9 years old. She tried other sports such as soccer, tennis and basketball (which her father, Jud, played professionally in the NBA for 12 years, winning three championships with the Chicago Bulls) but volleyball was the one that stuck. “I just loved it,” Reily said. Volleyball is a bit of the family sport as her father was also an All-American in volleyball at Arizona and her mom, Lindsey, was a standout setter there and still ranks in the school’s top 10 in assists and digs. Sister Brynn played on Torrey Pines’ JV squad last year. Reily started on the varsity squad as a freshman and of all the Falcon championship runs, this year’s was the best as she was able to stay healthy and play a big part on the team. “This year’s championship was the most memorable for me because I was a senior and I had a leadership role and the team was really good,” Reily said. Right before this year’s CIF tournament, Reily found out she was named a Under Armour All American, an amazing and surprising honor. “It was incredible,” Reily said of the trip to Seattle, where she and her fellow athletes attended team bonding

The always-competitive Reily was frustrated that she was one hit away from making the finals in the skills competition, but she recognized the amazing talent that surrounded her. “They hit the ball pretty freaking hard,” she said. “They were all so good, it was cool to play with the best in the country and to see what it will be like and who I’ll be playing in college.” While Reily was courted by Stanford and USC for her collegiate career, she ultimately picked UCLA. “UCLA was just more of a fit for me,” Reily said, noting not only was it close to home but the team also includes four WAVE players, two of whom she played with on teams for years. “It was kind of like a natural home for me. It’s really special (to have her WAVE teammates there), I’m lucky that I will be comfortable right away going into it.” As Reily has always played up an age division, most of her teammates that she played with for the last eight years have moved on from WAVE and she is on a new team this year.

“We have a really good team chemistry, we just have to work through some kinks,” Reily said of her new team. Reily plays volleyball three times a week and is working out the other four days. She admits it’s a lot of work, playing and practicing so hard but she does occasionally take some time to relax. It doesn’t always feel like work though, because she is so passionate about the game. “I love it, it’s basically my life and what I’ve wanted to do my whole life,” Reily said.
