Proposed water rate hike moves forward, despite split board BY JOE TASH A proposal to raise rates for customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District a maximum of 9 percent per year over the next three years continues to move forward, even as a split board of directors debates the plan’s pros and cons. Based on a decision by the board to delay sending out legally required customer notices about the proposed increase until after the first of January, the earliest the proposed rate hikes could take effect would be March 1, 2016, according to district staff. The board voted 3-2 at its Oct. 1 meeting to move forward with the rate hike proposal. Discussion continued at the board’s meeting on Thursday, Oct. 15, although another vote was not taken. Directors Michael Hogan, Augie Daddi and Alan Smerican voted for the rate recommendation by district General Manager Michael Bardin, while directors Greg Gruzdowich and Marlene King voted against it. Also at Thursday’s meeting,

a number of district customers who have lemon groves on their property argued in favor of a special, lower water rate for agricultural users, which the Santa Fe district does not offer. The district provides drinking water to about 20,000 residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. Santa Fe directors are elected by division, and the split between the board on the rate increase proposal appears to follow the lines of the district’s geographical boundaries. Hogan, Smerican and Daddi represent divisions on the west side of the district, which fall mostly within the city of Solana Beach, where residents typically have smaller lot sizes. Gruzdowich and King represent the district’s eastern service area, including the communities of Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch, which have larger estate lots. The district’s largest water users generally are found in the eastern service areas. The district’s rate increase proposal changes the way charges are assessed to customers, usSee WATER, page 26

RSF student’s heartfelt drawing wins Rady Children’s Kids’ News Day contest BY KAREN BILLING R. Roger Rowe School held a surprise assembly on Oct. 14 to celebrate second-grader Kate Schneider’s winning entry in the Captain True-Heart contest that supports Kids’ News Day, a benefit for the hospital. Kids’ News Day this year was held on Tuesday, Oct. 20, and for her winning drawing, Kate received an iPad Mini live on NBC 7 News that morning. “Out of hundreds of drawings, yours floated to the top and was one of the best,” Mary Reynolds from the Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary told a thrilled and shocked Kate in front of her classmates. “What I liked best was that Kate thought Captain TrueHeart was a girl.” After finding out she had won, Kate had a huge smile on her face and said that her See CONTEST, page 26

BY KAREN BILLING The Covenant Club design subcommittee voted on a design program for the proposed health club and pool facility, opting for a 12,200-square-foot facility between the Rancho Santa Fe Golf and Tennis Clubs. The facility will include combined resort and lap pools and two new tennis courts, with construction phased so that there will always be 12 active courts at the club. Architect Kirk Mason will now further develop and refine the design plan for the club, aiming to present the plan at the subcommittee’s Nov. 2 meeting (3 p.m. at the RSF Golf Club). The design group also aims to present a plan to the RSF Association board possibly at its November or December meeting. The vote on the club design was not unanimous, with RSF Golf Club liaisons Dottie Mulholland and Deb Gustafson issuing no votes. Mulholland said she could not endorse any of the plans, especially after hearing the results of recent tennis and golf club surveys. The subcommittee had heard the results of the golf club survey as they were released that day. From a 50 percent survey response (441 respondents out of 887 surveys sent), 75 percent voted that they did not want a health club to be located on the golf and tennis campus. The tennis club’s survey of 158 respondents showed that while the club was split on the concept of the Covenant Club, 61 percent of members voted against putting the facility on the golf and tennis club See COMMITTEE, page 26

SDUHSD joins coalition fighting increased electricity costs for schools BY KAREN BILLING As a result of rate shock, the San Dieguito Union High School District board voted at its Oct. 15 meeting to join a collation of 38 other San Diego County districts to protect state funding being diverted to pay for escalating electricity costs. Associate Superintendent Eric Dill said county schools have been facing “massive increases” in electricity costs — an average 39 percent surge as a result of the General Rate Case approved by the California Public Utility Commission (PUC). Countywide, it is estimated that this escalation will cost public schools more than $25 million. While San Dieguito’s overall electrical consumption was flat last year, its annual bill went up by more than $300,000. Dill said these higher costs diverted nearly 20 percent of the state’s Local Control Funding Formula base grant toward paying electrical bills rather than its intended use of providing educational opportunities to students. “Unlike businesses, which can pass increased costs of doing business on to their customers, schools do not have the ability to generate revenue to absorb utility increases,” Dill said. “We cannot adjust our business hours, we cannot relocate and we cannot close the doors on our children.” By joining the coalition of 38 school districts in the county, the board is asking for solutions like enacting legislation to create a separate rate class for school districts, capping costs, providing a guaranteed bill credit or grandfathering rates for schools to help preserve state funding from going to public utilities rather than to education.

RSF Association adds $30K to effort to develop water source for golf club BY KAREN BILLING At its October meeting, the Rancho Santa Fe Association approved contributing $30,000 toward efforts to bring an independent water source to the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The club will also be contributing $30,000. The Association expects that a potential solution could be presented at its Nov. 5 meeting, whether it is to use reclaimed water or to use the well on the golf course. RSF Golf Club Manager Al Castro said the funds will get the club to the point where viable options will be defined, and they will be able to put budget numbers on the alternatives to bring water to the course. The additional work includes studies of hydro and geological services, testing of the well and water quality, and more research on brine disposal, development of a potential reverse osmosis system, and treatment facility upgrades that would be necessary. “It’s important to note that this is the first time since the well was drilled that we are working on defining a realistic resource for brine disposal,” Castro said. The club has been working with the Santa Fe Irrigation District and the RSF Community Services District to explore partnerships for water solutions. “This benefits the whole community, not just the golf club,” RSF Association President Ann Boon said, noting that the course serves as a community greenbelt, and if hydro-geological studies indicate there is enough water from the resource, it could be used on the Rancho Santa Fe sports fields as well.

Fairgrounds officials call Kaaboo Festival a hit with merchants, despite noise complaints BY JOE TASH Del Mar Fairgrounds officials gave high marks to the first-ever Kaaboo music festival which was held at the stateowned property in September, and said they are looking forward to the event’s return next year. The comments came Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the board meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, the agency that oversees the fairgrounds. Kaaboo’s director of community relations, Julie Coleman, was at the meeting to make a presentation to the board. Earlier in the day, she met with officials from Del Mar and Solana Beach. “This was a home run,” said fairgrounds general man-

ager Tim Fennell of the music, food and arts festival, which was held Sept. 18-20. “Everybody who came had a fabulous time.” Kaaboo officials have declined to release attendance figures for the three-day festival, which included seven stages and more than 100 musical acts such as headliners No Doubt, the Zac Brown Band and the Killers. “We’re a private company. We try to keep things close to the vest,” Coleman said. Apparently, the festival’s organizers did not even share attendance figures with 22nd DAA officials, which prompted board member Stephen Shewmaker to request the infor-

DreamWorks Studio chief talks business to Bishop’s students BY JAMES PALEN Students at The Bishop’s School had an opportunity to talk one-on-one with DreamWorks Studios Chief Operating Officer Jeff Small recently, taking back to the classroom a message promoting hard work and hope for those dreaming of careers in the film-making industry. Small, who joined DreamWorks in 2006 and works there under director Steven Spielberg, was invited to the school Oct. 15 as part of The Bishop’s School’s Endowed Leadership Lecture Series, which dates to 2003 and DreamWorks Studios COO Jeff Small addresses an ashas included such speakers as sembly at The Bishop’s School. “If you decide it’s what famed San Diego Padres’ you want to do, I have no doubt that you’re going to do pitcher Trevor Hoffman and it,” he said of finding careers in the film industry. Photo former Secretary of State by James Palen Condoleezza Rice. After a light-hearted and joke-filled presentation about his rise from working at Walt Disney Studios to his role at DreamWorks today, Small fielded questions from the curious crowd of sixth- through 12th-grade students, who wondered about everything from what his favorite movie was to how a studio knows when to take a chance on a little-known actor. One of those students was senior Dylan Rohn, who said that while he used to tell himself he wanted to be a filmmaker, he’s realized he already is one. “I’ve pretty much been making films as long as I can remember,” Rohn said. “I’m making one right now. I keep increasing my levels of professionalism.” Known in the area’s filmmaking crowd as a rising young producer of multiple short documentaries, Rohn has been involved in the Teen Producers Project since before he started high school. His projects, including the 7-minute film “Problem Solved” — written, directed and edited by Rohn — have won awards and have at times been featured on the KPBS

Rohn asked Small how industry professionals can find a balance between the moneydriven business side and the part that drove them to enter it in the first place — their passion — while minimizing any conflict between the two. “I’m looking at it from the artistic perspective,” Rohn said. “This is something that really brings a level of joy to my life that nothing else can approach.” Small said the basic economics of filmmaking make for a symbiotic relationship between artistic and financial motivations, making little need for a filmmaker to compromise See DREAMWORKS, page 23

San Dieguito district breaks ground on new Earl Warren school in SB BY KRISTINA HOUCK Earl Warren Middle School may be San Dieguito Union High School District’s oldest school, but it will soon be the newest campus in the community. More than 60 years after the school opened in Solana Beach, officials, stakeholders and community members celebrated the complete reconstruction of Earl Warren with a groundbreaking ceremony Oct. 16 at the site. “Today’s an exciting day for the San Dieguito Union High School District, Earl Warren Middle School and our community as we begin the process of rebuilding the new Earl Warren Middle School campus,” said Earl Warren principal Adam Camacho. “The entire Earl Warren Middle School community could not be more excited for what is to come. The new campus will be undoubtedly beautiful and a true reflection of the Solana Beach community.” The project is made possible by Proposition AA. Voters approved the $449 million general obligation bond in November 2012, funding upgrades and repairs to the district’s North County campuses. Because Earl Warren opened more than six decades ago, however, district officials decided to rebuild rather than renovate the school. “When our Prop AA projects are completed over the next three to eight years, each school will be finished, modernized and built to capacity, as our community has grown,” said Superintendent Rick Schmitt. “Our community is growing quickly. “Communities are never more vibrant and successful than when the community invests in education and infrastructure. This is a great example of that,” he added. “Thanks to each of you for your support in our students’ education and the infrastructure that serves them, as we are planning this new campus and getting ready to build another fabulous Earl Warren Middle School that will last for generations like the old campus did.” Board members, administrators and staff members from the San Diego County Office of Education, San Dieguito Union High School District, Del Mar Union School District and Solana Beach School District reflected on the school’s history and welcomed a new era for the site during the ceremony. Demolition started in early October, so much of the campus had already been torn down. A few buildings, including the front office, was left standing, but a portion of the building came down at the end of the event to mark the milestone. “I never thought tearing something down could be so beautiful,” said San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts. Four of his six children will go on to the new Earl Warren Middle School. “This is a moment we have been waiting for,” he added. “It’s truly our future. We need to treasure it.” Current and former Earl Warren principals and teachers also arrived for the occasion, including retired teacher Jay Williams, who helped open the school in 1954. A longtime Cardiff resident, Williams taught at Earl Warren from 1954 to 1982.

Officials, stakeholders and community members celebrated the rebuild of Earl Warren Middle School with a groundbreaking ceremony Oct. 16. Photos by Kristina Houck “I spent a lot of time in these buildings with a lot of great teachers and a lot of wonderful students,” Williams said in an interview. “I have a lot of attachment.” Said Schmitt, “Even though today’s ceremony happens to be about tearing down an old school and building a new one, schools are only as good as their teachers. What will carry on in our new Earl Warren Middle School is the spirit, leadership and quality of our Earl Warren teachers.” Schmitt noted that sixth-graders in local elementary schools will move into Seahawk Village next year as seventh-graders, and become the first eighth-grade class at the new camSee EARL WARREN, page 23

Local surgeon brings patients new options to face the future • Besides regular practice, Dr. Robert Ferdowsmakan does pro-bono work at Rady Children’s, Fresh Starts BY KAREN BILLING Dr. Robert Ferdowsmakan, the founder of Torrey Hills Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Carmel Valley, has volunteered his time over the past five years to treat hundreds of patients with facial injuries free of charge at Rady Children’s Hospital. Ferdowsmakan has found it incredibly rewarding to provide life-changing surgeries to children who are uninsured or underinsured after treatment for severe injuries or trauma. A Phoenix native, Ferdowsmakan is the past chief of oral and maxillofacial surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and is the secretary/treasurer of the San Diego County Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Club. He is also a general anesthesia evaluator for the state of California. Ferdowsmakan opted to go into the specialty of oral surgery after his first week of dental school at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1996. It just took one lecture from an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for him to “fall in love” with the specialty. He graduated from dental school with top honors and received his medical degree from the UC Los Angeles School of Medicine. He completed his surgical training and residency at UCLA Medical Center. In 2005, he opened his own practice. “I always wanted to have my own private practice. We just reached our nine-year anniversary and we have grown tremendously since the first year,” Ferdowsmakan said. “We started out with no patients when we opened the doors. I met with dentists and physicians in the community, and fortunately it progressed quickly.” The most common office-based surgeries Ferdowsmakan performs in his state-of-the-art center are impacted wisdom teeth, dental implants and corrective jaw surgeries. Most minor surgeries can be done in the office, but more complex surgeries, typically trauma-based ones, are done at the hospital. He is on staff at Rady Children’s, Scripps Memorial and Sharp Mesa Hospital in Kearny Mesa. One of the treatments he has a true passion for is corrective jaw surgery — for people with severe under- or overbites, and people with facial asymmetry. “It’s a very gratifying type of surgery I can provide, to really make instantaneous benefits and changes for patients,” he said. “I describe it as life-changing, because it really is changing people’s lives for the better.” To see someone fall in love with their new smile or see their face restored and confi-

CCA Envision cinema students win big at New York festival BY GLORIA LIMAS Canyon Crest Academy Envision Cinema Conservatory students won awards in multiple categories at the All American High School Film Festival in New York City, the largest high school film festival in the world. “The All American High School Film Festival was a great experience for our students,” said CCA Envision Cinema Coordinator Mark Raines, who noted that it speaks to the caliber of students in the Envision Cinema program. “To have nine Canyon Crest Academy Envision Cinema Conservatory films in the world’s largest students TJ Gascho, Julia Eliju, Chris Razniak and high school film festival is Thomas Wade. Courtesy photo quite an accomplishment for one school program.” Filmmakers Julia Elihu, Erin Bentel, Daria Miller and Danny Sandler won the Overall Audience Choice Awards under the Teen Indie Awards with their film, “Celine & Simon.” The film was also named a finalist for Best Drama, Best Direction and Best Screenplay. The film “Lily’s Journey” was named a Best Documentary finalist. It was produced by Julia Elihu, Andrew Boyles, Gabrielle de Boucaud, Thomas Wade, and Akeel Najimudeen. Julia Elihu was named a female rising star finalist for the featured films she co-directed, “Lily’s Journey” and “Celine & Simon.” The festival also recognized her as a finalist in the Rising Star category, an award for up-and-coming female filmmakers. “Winning the Audience Choice Award was really exciting, for myself personally and for the Envision Cinema Conservatory program at CCA as a whole, because the honor came from the largest high school film festival,” said Julia. “It really demonstrated to me how my film was not only able to affect people in my local community but also people from all across the country and from other parts of the world. It was also powerful to see how people were able to relate to the film in different ways.” Raines said more than 1,400 student films were submitted to the festival from 48 states and 31 countries. CCA had nine films selected to be featured in the more than 300 films screened at the festival. The student filmmakers traveled with teacher Mark Raines to the awards ceremony in New York.

Jean and Charlie Eisleben at their wedding 70 years ago (left) and (right) today.

Eislebens to celebrate 70th anniversary Nov. 1 On Nov. 1, Jean and Charlie Eisleben will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary. In 1945, Charlie had just finished his training to become an Ensign in the U.S. Navy when they were married at the Compton Heights Baptist Church in St. Louis, Missouri. Jean’s sister, Anita, attended the bride and Charles had his father substitute for his only brother, Roland, who was overseas in the Navy at the time of the wedding. Their reception for 200 guests was held at the Edgewater Beach Country Club overlooking the Mississippi River. Charlie and Jean spent their honeymoon in Kansas City, Mo. where he received his commission and officer’s uniform. They were separated for eight months while he served in the South Pacific Theatre. After World War II, the couple was first blessed with two children, Richard and Barbara, and then a third child, Nancy, at the time of their move to Downey, Calif., in 1954. Charlie spent most of his business career at Associated Piping and Engineering and Jean was active as a stay-at-home mom and volunteer in church and school activities. After Charlie retired they spent 25 wonderful years in the desert of Bermuda Dunes, Calif., playing golf, bridge and building sweet memories with special friends. They now reside in Rancho Santa Fe. Jean and Charlie, once high school sweethearts, now both 90, will celebrate this special anniversary with their family at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club.

‘Whatever It Takes’ class will give teens a chance to positively impact their communities BY KAREN BILLING The teen leadership and entrepreneurship program Whatever It Takes (WIT) is bringing its successful formula to Carmel Valley this November. Over the past few years, WIT students in classes in University City and at the downtown Central Library have taken advantage of a program that not only gives them a chance to achieve social change, but to take a college-level course and receive credit from UC San Diego Extension. The deadline to apply for the new Carmel Valley class is Oct. 30. WIT founder Sarah Hernholm knows a little bit about doing whatever it takes, building her program from the ground up five years ago. “There is nothing better than to be able to live your dream come true,” she said. “To me, I have the best job on the planet.

Ruh comes to BU from Pacific Ridge High School, where he was a U.S. Lacrosse AllAmerican as a senior in 2015.

TPHS students participate in Spirit Day to raise LGBT awareness STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School students took part in the nationwide Spirit Day, coordinated by the school’s PALS (Peer Assistant Listeners) and Gay Straight Alliance Clubs. Students were encouraged to wear purple to show support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth and to speak out against bullying and to promote acceptance. “A big part of GSA’s goal is to create a community on campus. A lot of people don’t even know about the LGBT community,” said GSA President Amal Lamb. “Events like these just help open up that circle to the rest of the school and help keep students informed and educated about things they don’t understand, creating a nicer campus in general.” As part of Spirit Day, students added their name to a poster that read: “I pledge to do my part to make Torrey Pines High School more welcoming to the LGBT+ community. I promise to stand up for LGBT+ youth who may be bullied or discriminated against. I will achieve this by treating my fellow students with respect and appreciation to ensure that everyone feels safe on our campus.” The club members also encouraged students to pose for photos with white boards to help spread more awareness on social media platforms.

Following successful showings in the past two seasons, Village Viewpoints will offer a reprise of “Thinking Shakespeare Live!” on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. at Village Church, 6225 Paseo Delicias. “Thinking Shakespeare Live!” is a fast-paced, funny, and fascinating guide to the language of Shakespeare created by Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein who National Public Radio called “one of the country’s leading Shakespeareans.” This special program provides audiences a unique opportunity to learn the methods Edelstein imparts to professional actors in the rehearsal room. As he and three skilled actors demonstrate these techniques live on stage, this entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the creative process offers a primer on the tools used to hear and understand Shakespeare. With humor and insight, “Thinking Shakespeare Live!” brings audiences into the Bard’s world and shows how his masterful poetry can come to life for everyone. “San Diego’s Shakespeare audience is devoted to the Bard, and the Globe, one of the country’s great Shakespeare theatres, always looks for innovative ways to serve it,” said Edelstein. “We created ‘Thinking Shakespeare Live!’ to help our audience have fun while making new connections to Barry Shakespeare.” Viewpoints is co-presented by the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation and the Edelstein Village Church. Doors open at 6 p.m. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served with the program beginning at 6:30. Seating is limited; advance purchase is recommended. Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for students. Tickets may be purchased at www.villageviewpoints.com or by calling (858) 756-6557. Tickets at the door the night of the event will be $30.

way. WIT will be in Austin, Texas, in September and then in New York City in 2016. “We will keep growing to wherever there are teenagers, which is everywhere,” Hernholm said. “I just think this is what I was put on this planet to do, to advocate for teenagers and make sure they have a platform for their voices to be heard.” WIT classes meet once a week for a 30week course. The teachers are all entrepreneurs, and they guide the students through lessons in personal leadership development and business development. Hernholm still remains active as a WIT instructor. As part of the class, students must start a business or project, and it has to address a social issue in a unique and sustainable way. The teenagers may fail or mess up, but that is all a part of launching a business. “WIT gives them the space to fail; there’s too much at stake at school,” Hernholm said. “This gives them a chance to build resilience and grit. They have to take a risk, fall and get back up. They can learn to see failure as feedback and keep moving.” WIT San Diego classes have tackled everything from teenage self-esteem to loneliness in the senior community. Shivali Joshi, a Bishop’s School graduate who now attends Claremont McKenna College, was involved in one of the most successful WIT projects, Choose You. Choose You is a project to eliminate childhood obesity through teen mentorship. The teens provide elementary school youth in lower-income areas with the tools to live healthy, active lifestyles. As a result of Choose You’s success, WIT teens were invited to pitch their program to the American Medical Association in Chicago in 2014; and through a sponsorship with the AMA, Choose You has operated at Bayside Community Center and Kit Carson Elementary School in San Diego with second- and third-graders. One San Diego teen wanted her WIT

project to educate the public about the harassment she receives while taking trolleys downtown. The project brought together a student from Bishop’s and a student from the Preuss School, a charter school for low-income students — two very different walks of life. Through WIT projects, the teens learn about other people, cultures and communities they might have never been exposed to otherwise. “In the real world and in college, these kids will have to work with people from different walks of life and they can come off (as) elitist, ignorant or both. This gets them started building bridges and can have a significant impact on how they work in the world,” Hernholm said. “We do a disservice when we isolate our children.” As part of the WIT curriculum, a big “Pitch Night” is held in November in front of 10 judges (no parents allowed). The students present their projects in attempts to receive funding. As Hernholm said, WIT is not fake work, it’s real work, and the program is very clear about its expectations of the students. So far, she has seen that the teens are willing to do the work to live up to those high expectations. “I love doing what I do. Teens are willing to have tough conversations and as a result, they become committed to making the world a better place,” Hernholm said. “It’s awesome that I get to do this for a living.” Students can apply to WIT by filling out an application, available online. (Class location in Carmel Valley was still being finalized at presstime.) All applicants must undergo an interview, usually by a WIT graduate. It is a tuition-based program, but students can apply to receive financial aid. One-third of WIT students receive financial aid provided by corporate sponsors like the Moxie Foundation in San Diego and individual donors. Visit doingwit.org.

Education Matters/Opinion: Bonds that bind BY MARSHA SUTTON At the Oct. 8 Solana Beach School District board meeting, trustees unanimously approved a not-to-exceed contract for $68,000 with marketing strategist Tom Shepard of Public Policy Strategies. The purpose, according to the board packet, is to “provide election opinion, community outreach and polling for consideration of a district General Obligation bond.” “This contract will be to conduct a community opinion survey in order to understand community sentiment related to projects, tax, and terms associated with a 2016 General Obligation bond,” it reads. The district, operating seven elementary schools, has long Marsha Sutton been making noises about placing a GO bond on the 2016 ballot, which requires 55 percent voter approval. SBSD has hired a law firm to provide legal advice on the potential bond measure. And, according to an article published last week in this newspaper, plans from four architectural firms have already been received and are under review, for work on several district schools. San Dieguito Union High School District passed a GO bond measure, Proposition AA, in 2012, but with support barely over the 55 percent mark. In some kind of domino effect, the Del Mar Union School District also seems to have been inspired by San Dieguito’s success and is likely to try again (after failing before) to pass a GO bond in 2016 as well. Property owners in Solana Beach and Del Mar, both part of San Dieguito, are already being charged annually up to $30 per $100,000 of assessed property value through Prop. AA for the next umpteen years. If bond measures pass for these elementary school districts, property owners will pay extra taxes on top of the San Dieguito assessment. Solana Beach and Del Mar are two of the most affluent communities in the county, if not the state, and each has independent foundations that raise even more money for their schools through charitable contributions. It’s not like local schools don’t already get huge sums of money through the county’s property taxes. According to the county tax assessor’s office, for the 2013-2014 fiscal year, 42.9 percent of individual property taxes paid went to schools. That’s the highest piece of the pie chart by far than any other recipient. The next nearest is the county, which gets 13.2 percent, and cities, which receive 12.6 percent. Pre-determined outcome Was there ever a time when a marketing firm hired to discover if the public would support a bond measure came back with a “no” answer?

Solana Beach wants the bond and has made that clear, and the district is paying a polling firm a lot of taxpayer money to come back with the right answer. The outcome seems pre-determined. About 300 people will be polled now through November, with results available in December. We’ve seen in the past that questions can be coyly phrased to elicit the “correct” responses, calling lists can be manipulated, calls can be timed to affect the outcome, and the interpretation of results can be far from neutral. One task of the pollsters is to see just how much voters would sit still for: “Would you support $20 per $100,000 of assessed property value? Ten dollars? Five? For how many years? Twenty? Thirty?” Eventually, those polled are worn down, and pollsters will settle on a number they can report to the school board that voters would tolerate. One piece of information it’s doubtful will be shared by the polling firm when calling targeted people is the amount of money already in SBSD’s reserves. According to SBSD Superintendent Terry Decker and Carlos Estrella, assistant superintendent for business services, the district holds $17,630,068, or 43.75 percent of its total budget, in reserves. The state requires 3 percent, which for SBSD is $1,209,242. Then, the school board has designated a Basic Aid contingency reserve on top of the state’s mandated one, which the board has set at 40.75 percent, or $16,420,826 this year. “Those funds are designated to protect the district from uncertainty created by the state and the economy, and to cover any operational deficits,” Decker said. Reserves at the Del Mar Union School District currently are $11,328,694. That’s 23 percent of the district’s budget, according to Cathy Birks, DMUSD’s assistant superintendent for business services. Although Solana Beach’s rainy day funds are almost twice Del Mar’s, both are considered exceedingly healthy reserves. Gather facts Voters in Solana Beach and Del Mar will likely be presented with bond initiatives on their 2016 ballots. And aggressive marketing campaigns will push for passage. Because the system permits large donations to support these measures, what happened in San Dieguito is sure to happen in Solana Beach and Del Mar. In San Dieguito, as in most other districts with GO bonds on the ballot, major construction, architectural and support firms donated vast amounts of money to marketing efforts that “educate” voters, in order to promote passage. Knowing they are likely to get the business once the bonds pass, those firms have found these donations to be a good investment indeed. Strong test scores and high achieve-

ment for students in both districts, by the way, would seem to indicate that kids are unaffected by one school being prettier than another. Property owners should gather all the facts before deciding whether to approve more local taxation. ***** On another subject, parents in the Solana Beach School District need to know that the money they purchase for their children’s “lunch card” is refundable or can be transferred to another child if unused. SBSD uses the MySchoolBucks system, which allows parents to set up an account for school meals. The account is debited when the student purchases a meal. SBSD Supt. Decker said the system is owned and operated by MySchoolBucks, and the district does not control or monitor the money in the accounts. Parents, he said, can access and view account balances through MySchoolBucks.com. Because there’s been some confusion about what happens to this money when a child does not use all the money on the card or leaves the district, Decker provided clarification. “When a student leaves the district, the parent determines what they want to have happen with the funds in the account,” Decker wrote in an email. “The parent may transfer funds to another child if they have other students in the system, or they can get a refund,” he said, but the money is never transferred to the district. “The funds simply stay in the account,” he said, adding that the district can only debit the account for meals and can facilitate refunds or transfers when requested. Decker said there is no time limit on getting refunds, noting that people have come back four years later for refunds. “Other than needing our help with refunds, the parent is in control of the account,” he said. For a refund or transfer of funds, parents need to contact the district directly. The district does not contact parents asking what to do with leftover lunch-card money. “Parents can set up e-mail notifications in the system to assist with account management,” Decker said. The inquiry prompted Decker to say he will “push up our communications” to notify parents about leftover money in their accounts. “We’re going to add information to our district website to explain the process of requesting a transfer or refund,” he said. “We’re also looking to add something to our end-of-year communications to remind parents to check their accounts if they are leaving the district.” — Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

Roundabouts offer of recycled option would be win-win safety, beauty to area

The following comments are the personal thoughts of the undersigned. Although I’m a member of the Board of Directors of the Rancho Santa Fe Community Service District (CSD), my comments should not be construed as the positions of the CSD Board of Directors. I was very encouraged by the fine work of the committee appointed by the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club (RSFGC) to study and make recommendations relating to the future of water for the RSFGC. The issues are complicated, but they have decided on two possible solutions, or variations thereof. The first is use of well water from a well on the course. The second is use of recycled water from the CSD combined with water from the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID). Both possibilities have need for further study and resolution of some issues. Should the committee elect to use the well option, there will be an opportunity for the Rancho Santa Fe Association (RSFA). The cost of bringing recycled water to the golf course, including a holding pond and pump station, is about $6,000,000. The amount of recycled water per day is about 250,000 gallons. This would provide enough water for all plantings along La Granada and Rambla de las Flores, the two baseball fields and the soccer field, the riding club and possibly the school field. Also, most important, it would provide a secondary solution to the RSFGC, should the well solution become unusable in future years. The cost of the recycled water would be very inexpensive if the RSFA provided the $6,000,000. For the RSFA, it would be an excellent investment to solve one of their stated goals of helping solve our water problems. In addition, it would resolve a major issue relating to the Community Enhancement Fund (CEF). CEF violates the Davis-Sterling Act and our protective covenant, and threatens our Internal Revenue classification. Such an investment would not only resolve the above, but it would avoid threatened litigation relating to the continuation of CEF. The benefits are too many to ignore. They are 1) elimination of the CEF problem; 2) a long-term supply of water to our recreational facilities; 3) beautiful roadways along two of our main roadways; 4) reduced water costs for our association; 5) a backup plan for the RSFGC. The RSFGC water committee is scheduled to make its recommendation by the end of the year. The RSFA should now prepare to act if the opportunity presents itself. The recycled water is going to be produced by the CSD and my hope is that Rancho Santa Fe will be the beneficiary. If not, some other area will enjoy the benefit of the recycled water. Bill Hinchy, Rancho Santa Fe

It’s Groundhog Day in Rancho Santa Fe It looks like Groundhog Day all over. Some of the PIC folks are back, under the umbrella of the Rancho Santa Fe Homeowners Group, fighting to regain power and still trying to defend the purchase of Osuna Ranch. They are still attacking the new board members who replaced them, and now the proposed Covenant Pool and Health Club before all the facts have been presented. Like many folks in the Ranch, I have my own pool and gym and our children are grown. Right now, I am unsure how I will vote on this proposal. I am waiting until the final proposal and all the facts are shared with the community before I decide. At first I was against the roundabouts, but after listening to the arguments and discussions, I changed my mind. It is ready, fire, aim for some of the members of the RSF Homeowners Group. Many of them are the same group of folks that held control of the Association for the past 20 years. Where was their leadership on improving our cell and Internet services? Where was their leadership on approving the purchase of Osuna Ranch without it being vetted by the Association’s finance committee? Let us hope that the same folks who behaved so badly during the past election, disclosing private personal information on candidates to the public and removing campaign signs over and over again, are not in positions of leadership in this new organization. The negative recurring voices of various folks that compose the PIC/RSF Homeowners Group are quick to criticize the current board at every turn and use words like transparency and good governance, when this is the very reason they lost the last election. Let us make sure we do not give them another chance in the upcoming election. I am sure there are some well-intended people who are members of the RSF Homeowners Group, but so far the folks who have spoken up on their behalf have not demonstrated that sentiment. Try to keep an open mind on the issues facing the community until all the facts are in. Terry Peay, Rancho Santa Fe

Poll of the Week at www.rsfreview.com Last week’s poll: Are you in favor of the state’s new right-to-die law? YES: 85 percent NO: 14 percent This week’s poll: Should Joe Biden run for president? Yes or No?

Dear Beautiful Roads Committee, I have been a resident of Rancho Santa Fe for almost 20 years and use the corners being considered for roundabouts. I had an office outside of London for five years. While I never kept track, I would guess this translated into 40 or 50 days of driving in and around London using roundabouts every day. Personal recollections: • In/Out: It was always easy to get in and out, whereas traffic signals often required waiting when there is nothing to wait for. • Safety: While I am no expert, I do not think I ever saw or heard of a major accident associated with a roundabout; and yet you often read about the horror of running the signal, floating through the stop sign, etc. • Community Appeal: I can remember vividly the attractiveness of several of the roundabouts near our office and neighborhood. They almost looked like they were part of the natural setting. This is obviously in sharp contrast to the stark and basically ugly “signal and stop sign habit” in the United States. • Speed: I remember someone from the U.S. commenting to me to the effect: “Everyone goes through the roundabout at a reasonable speed … there is no crazy person trying to beat the signal.” It’s true. • Walking: We had two roundabouts near our office and we would cross them before/after lunch. My one memory was coming to understand that I only had to look one way, and that most of the time that simple check allowed me to go right ahead rather than wait (even when there were no cars). • Property Values: Again, I am not an expert, but it is difficult to imagine that property values are enhanced with the addition of signals. In fact, I would think roundabouts would enhance value and signals would decrease value. In summary, I can’t imagine why we would impose the “almost-guaranteed-to-be-ugly” traffic signal solution versus what can be a substantial beautification and property value enhancement to our community without compromising safety. Fred Port, Rancho Santa Fe

Kudos to Finance Committee and Association board As a member of the Association, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the Finance Committee and the Association board in their diligent preparation of this year’s budget and audited financial statement. I was especially glad to see at their last meeting, the Board approved leaving the assessment rate at 14 cents, with 11.5 cents going to the operation of the Association and 2.5 cents going to the community enhancement fund. I won’t comment on the CEF allocation, but it was reassuring that we are almost to November in our budget cycle and the Board feels confident that we will end the year on budget at 11.5 cents. I was also interested to hear that the treasurer of the Finance Committee is extremely pleased with the new accounting firm and that the “reign of errors” that we experienced with the last firm is over. I was not aware of a reign of errors, but I am glad that it is over. I am not a financial expert, but I do know how to balance a budget. I see a lot of special programs being undertaken, many new faces around the office, and it seems there are a lot of legal issues going on that I was concerned that we were not living within our means. I am glad to know that is not the case. Suzy Schaefer, Rancho Santa Fe

Letters to the editor/Opinion

Don’t endanger our RSF social setting Ann Boon has stated: “The space we have is ‘the campus,’ as some people have begun calling it, which belongs to every single member of the Rancho Santa Fe Association and not just to members of the existing golf and tennis clubs.” Does she really think that only the golf and tennis clubs use this parcel? Every time I visit the campus, I find a vibrant social setting where friends meet for meals, groups gather for bridge, local clubs conduct their meetings, and charities hold successful fundraisers. The snack bar often has diners who have ridden in on horses and hitched them in the paddock, or people who have stopped by while walking their dogs. Nearly everyone who now uses our campus has experienced the frustration of trying to find a parking place during busy times. The trek up and down the hilly parking lot can be difficult for our elderly or infirm Association members. Eliminating the lower parking lot by shoehorning new buildings and pools into its footprint will make this situation worse. Yes, they will add some new parking areas, but they will be farther up the hill. There are other sites in the Covenant that could be used for a beautiful, full-service fitness club, with dedicated pools and playgrounds. Jerry Yahr, chairman of the Covenant Club’s Design Committee, has stated that zoning was not the issue preventing them from building at Osuna Ranch. I question why the Covenant Club seems so intent upon overcrowding a site that now works so beautifully for such a large segment of our Association members. Their objectives state that it’s to increase community engagement. I fear that it will have the opposite effect. Patricia Newmark, Rancho Santa Fe

DREAMWORKS

his passion as his main source of motivation. “The joke is that movies don’t make money unless they’re good,” Small said. “It all starts with a great story. It all starts with a great filmmaker. And very few filmmakers make movies because they want to make money. They really don’t. At some point, they do want to make money — let’s be honest — but they really make it for the reasons that you say.” Spielberg’s movies, Small added, are made because the stories speak to him creatively, and that artistic connection to a film is what would give it a greater shot at economic success, he suggested. During the roughly 45-minute all-school assembly, Small referred to the various roles any of the students interested in the film industry could fill if filmmaking was their passion. “I got into the movie business, and I came from a long way away in Marietta, Georgia,” Small said. “This is not the rubber tire business; it is the movie business. But if you decide it’s what you want to do, I have no doubt that you’re going to do it.” Discussions arranging Small’s appearance at The Bishop’s School began more than a year ago, he said, after separate planning had begun for him to participate in the school’s annual auction to raise money for student financial aid and faculty growth. School spokeswoman Keri Peckham didn’t reveal how much the “Lunch With Jeff Small” auction item raised, but staff said it raised enough to help with scholarship programs. The idea of bringing Small in for an all-school assembly as a part of the package seemed natural, Peckham said. “We realized in speaking to him (about the auction) that he would be a great candidate for the Endowed Leadership Lecture Series,” she said. After the assembly, Small met for lunch with the auction winners, and later attended a private reception and pre-release screening of the DreamWorks film “Bridge of Spies,” starring Tom Hanks, at La Jolla’s new luxury cinema, The LOT.

EARL WARREN pus the following year. Also located on the site, Seahawk Village is the temporary space where students will attend school until the new campus is complete in fall 2017. Local fifth-graders will be the first class to finish two full years at the new middle school. The site is also home to the Solana Beach Library. The branch opened in 2001 on the campus of Earl Warren as the county’s first “shared-use” library. As a shared facility, the library serves the middle schoolers with extra hours and a specially trained library technician during the school year. Among other community members and stakeholders, San Diego County Library Director José Aponte, staff from the Solana Beach Library and volunteers from the Friends of the Solana Beach Library attended the event. As part of the project, the district is rebuilding Warren Hall, a multipurpose room shared by the school and library, and rebuilding some of the library’s interior space, which will be paid by a combination of Prop AA funds, county funds and contribu-

tions from the Friends of the Solana Beach Library, according to Eric Dill, the district’s associate superintendent of business services. “These youngsters are connected to a world-class library,” said Aponte, who noted that the planned improvements include new carpet, paint, shelving, study rooms, a staff workroom and an expanded bookstore. Lionakis, the architectural firm that designed the district’s new Pacific Trails Middle School in Pacific Highlands Ranch, also drew up plans for the new Earl Warren. The reconstructed school will be two levels, with the upper level featuring the majority of the classrooms. The campus will be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and include air conditioning, improved Wi-Fi and a better drop-off and pickup area. The new school, Camacho said, “will be another amazing learning facility that will serve our students well for years and years to come.” The overall budget for the project is at almost $52 million, which includes close to $43 million for the campus reconstruction.

Rant With Randi: What does it mean to be ‘eating clean’? Eating clean — what does that even mean? How many times have your friends told you that they are going to start a “cleanse,” and they want you to do it with them? It happens to me all the time, and I always have the same answer: “No, thanks, I’m not interested because after I finish cleansing, I’m so hungry that I eat everything in sight and end up gaining all the weight back.” I’m not anti-cleansing; I just personally can’t exist on vegetable juice that I have to gag down in the first place to lose a few pounds. Trust me, I want to be healthy, but giving up everything I love to eat and drink just doesn’t work for me. But lately, I can’t seem to avoid the term “eating clean.” So I did some research, and here is what I’ve learned about the “thinking” behind the “eating clean” movement: There are “layers” of toxins surrounding us in our everyday environment. Most of us think about “toxic” in terms of eating junk food, but the ninja food gurus are referring to everything else. They discuss toxic in terms of the air we breathe, the lotion we apply to our skin, the chemicals we use to clean our homes, and finally the food we ingest. So when “the food ninjas” talk about “clean eating,” they want you to detoxify everything from the inside out. The book I just read made so much sense that it got me thinking about all of it at a much deeper level. With regard to the eat-

SURGEON

ing portion, the author wants you to “eliminate” several food groups from your diet for 21 days, so that when you start introducing these foods back into your diet, you can see what’s causing you inflammation and discomfort, if any. I decided to give it a whirl. Basically, my diet consists of fish and chicken, fruits (no bananas) and vegetables, and almond butter. I’ve also started taking probiotics to build my immune system. My daughter and I both just celebrated birthdays, and I ate more cake than I normally would in an entire year. I was definitely ready to “get clean.” The two hardest habits to give up are drinking coffee and wine. I’ve been a coffee drinker since I was a little girl. So for me, giving up coffee makes giving up wine feel like amateur hour. Waking up and preparing my coffee is part of my morning routine, and without it, I feel like I’m not starting out my day right. The first week I did this program, I had so little energy that I could barely make it to my daughter’s back to school night. But the second week, with the help of liquid B-12 vitamins, I felt much better.

My husband decided to support me in this effort, and is trying to eat clean with me. He’s doing everything but giving up coffee. I’ve seen him give up eating Philly cheesesteaks, cheeseburgers, fries, pizza, steak, and a host of foods that he loves. I don’t care what anyone tells you, eating clean is not easy. You can’t just go out and get food. You don’t want to go to your favorite restaurants (during the 21 days), because of all the temptation. And my husband needs to eat a lot. So I can’t lie — he’s been very irritable most of the time. We did “break” three nights during the 21 days and have a glass of wine, because I thought that if we didn’t, he would implode. I have two children, and they don’t eat “clean.” One night, I started yelling at them for eating Oreos and ice cream, until I realized that I’m the one who buys the Oreos and the ice cream. This is a major mental and physical shift. I’m almost through with the 21 days and now I think long and hard about what I eat before I put it in my mouth. This causes you to stop before you “finish off” your kid’s uneaten pizza crust, peanut butter sandwich or French fries. Here’s to hoping that my family can continue on a road of relatively healthy eating without deprivation. This is doable — it’s just not easy. What say you? Email me @ www.randiccrawford@ gmail.com.

juries, falls from bicycles and scooters, and unfortunately, victims of violence. “One stands out in my mind, a dog bite injury recently,” Ferdowsmakan said. “It’s something that I don’t think I’ll ever forget.” The victim was an 11-year-old boy, and there were a lot of emotions at play after the attack by a family dog. “He had a great result and a good recovery,” Ferdowsmakan said. “It’s a very dramatic experience as a surgeon to reassure a child that they will be OK, and that you will do your best to get them back to where they were.” Another patient at Rady had been assaulted at school by older students. Ferdowsmakan helped repair his broken jaw. At Rady, a high number of patients don’t have medical insurance, but Ferdowsmakan does the surgeries whether they can

afford it or not. He writes off the surgeries and continues to see the patients in his office for post-op care. “I do it just to be a part of the overall community, and do my small part to give back a little bit,” he said. Besides his pro-bono work at Rady, for the past five years Ferdowsmakan has also volunteered with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, an organization founded in San Diego in 1991 to perform surgeries on children who can’t afford the medical attention they need. “It’s very rewarding,” Ferdowsmakan said. “They are both great organizations, and I hope to continue working with them for a long time.” Visit torreyhillsoms.com or call 858481-8248.

ing a formula of tiered water prices that go up the more water each customer uses. Another part of the bill contains fixed charges, and does not change with the amount of water consumed. While the average proposed rate increase would be 9 percent, the specific increase facing a customer on his or her bimonthly bill depends on how much water that customer uses, and the customer’s classification, such as single-family, commercial or multi-family. A small number of customers would actually see their water bills go down, according to district officials, while most would see an increase. Gruzdowich said Thursday that the split on the board results from that discrepancy — that in his opinion, the proposed rate increase, as structured, would unfairly impact those with larger properties, who use larger amounts of water. Higher users, he said, “will pay way more than 9 percent, and some people will get a free ride and have no increase. That’s not right.” Bardin said the rate proposal was crafted with the help of a financial consultant, and is intended to spread the district’s costs fairly and equitably, based on each customer’s use of district resources. He said the plan is also designed to follow state regulations and be defensible in court if challenged. Gruzdowich’s fellow directors objected to his characterization of the reasons behind the split vote. “I take exception to that. I represent the whole district,” said board president Michael Hogan. “I have never voted on how something affects the division I live in, but for the district as a whole,” said director Alan Smerican. “We have to create a process that is legal. Everything else comes after that.” At the beginning of the discussion, Bardin, the general manager, told the board that raising rates is one of the hardest decisions they will make as directors. The rate increase is needed, he said, to keep up with rising wholesale water costs and inflation. Two common misconceptions, Bardin said, are that the district can cut costs to avoid a rate increase, and that

CONTEST

the need to raise rates stems from the fouryear California drought. The district has not raised rates for two years, Bardin said, and has covered increased costs through budget-cutting and taking money from reserves. “We’ve done all we can to reduce costs. At this point, there’s no more room to cut,” Bardin said. “We are raising our rates to do the mission of the district.” Before the rate increase proposal can be considered for final adoption, the district must hold a public hearing and consider written public comment as required by state law. Each of the three years covered by the proposal, the board will have to vote on whether to raise rates by the maximum 9 percent or a lesser amount. Several district residents — mostly lemon growers — also urged the board Thursday to adopt a lower agricultural rate, rather than requiring them to pay the higher residential rates now under consideration. “I ask you to give us an agricultural rate. It’s essential to our survival as lemon producers,” said resident Sandra Johnson. With water rates poised to increase steeply for growers, said resident Herb Engel, “You’re going to see people abandon their groves and dead trees all over the place. I don’t think that’s what you want.” Only about 150 of the district’s approximately 6,500 customers are classified as agricultural users, and their total annual water usage is about 300 acre-feet, compared with the district’s total water sales this year of 11,200 acre-feet, wrote district spokeswoman Jessica Parks in an email. During a current cost of service study that is near completion, the district considered adding an agricultural rate, “but it was determined that there is not sufficient justification at this time to create a separate (agricultural) classification based on current State law and Cost of Service principles,” Parks wrote. A now-expired program offered by the Metropolitan Water District, Southern California’s water wholesalers, allowed farmers to purchase water at a lower rate, with the proviso that they would be the first to face cuts during a water shortage, Parks wrote.

“heart was pounding.” R. Roger Rowe School has always been a big supporter of Kids’ News Day and of Rady. For the past seven years, Rowe third-graders have been a part of Rady Children’s Miracle Makers fundraising efforts and donated thousands of dollars’ worth of books, games and art supplies for children receiving cancer treatment in the Acute Care Pavilion. “Rady Children’s Hospital has a special place in our students’, parents’, teachers’ and administrators’ hearts. Rady has treated many of our students for illnesses and broken bones,” said librarian Stacey Halboth. This year, parent Liz Seltzer brought the Captain True-Heart essay contest to the school. The superhero is in reference to Rady being one of the few hospitals nationwide that performs pediatric heart transplants. Reynolds said that they received hundreds of entries — kids in grades kindergarten through second grade drew pictures, and students in grades third through fifth wrote essays about Captain True-Heart. Kate’s drawing showed Captain True-Heart flying through the clouds, her ponytail and cape fluttering in the wind, showering purple hearts down on the city. Kate’s caption read: “Her heart grows bigger every time she saves someone.” For being the teacher of the winning student, teacher Jessica Henke also received an iPad Mini.

COMMITTEE

campus, and 80 percent of members voted against having a facility on top of the club’s current footprint. “The members have spoken loudly … it really compromises this campus,” Mulholland said. “(The subcommittee) was never offered any other site alternatives … From the get-go, this subcommittee was solely focused on pushing (the Covenant Club) into a space that we know really has not worked for a large portion of people who are currently using it.” Mulholland stressed that she is not anti-Covenant Club, and that she would love to see these facilities in the community; but she believes the committee is backing a plan that does not respect the history of the Covenant or the members of the golf and tennis clubs. Chair Jerry Yahr pointed to the results of the November 2014 Association vote, in which 762 people voted in favor of studying the site as a location for a fitness facility, which is what they have been tasked to do. “There will always be differing opinions and we respect that, and ultimately the community will get a chance to vote when the whole analysis is done,” Yahr said. “This committee is trying to do its best job to deliver the best site plan for this location.” At the Oct. 13 meeting, the design committee first took a vote on the location of the facility, whether it was autonomous from the golf and tennis clubs or located between the two sites. Seven favored the location between the clubs, two favored a separate site and two subcommittee members did not vote. The committee also reviewed the results of a parking study, conducted over six weeks in July and August, which included the high-demand weekend of the Clambake Tournament. “Parking is a big challenge for us, even

KAABOO far away as Carmel Valley and Del Mar Heights, she said. “We’re working with the team to reduce those noise impacts for future years,” she said. All outdoor music and amplified sound ended promptly at 10 p.m., and that will continue next year. In addition, the festival’s organizers will increase sound monitoring equipment, analyze stage locations and install more sound “blocking and diffusing elements,” in order to decrease the number of noise complaints, Coleman said. Next year’s festival is planned for Sept. 16-18, and organizers, although pleased with the first-year attendance, expect more people to turn out in 2016, Coleman said. She added that they will be prepared to deal with the traffic and security issues that come with larger crowds. While some nearby residents may not have liked the sounds emanating from the fairgrounds, the event was a big hit with local businesses. Representatives of two Del Mar hotels told the 22nd DAA board Tuesday that the event boosted revenues during what is normally a slow month, and they want the event to come back. “We’re excited about the future, we’re excited about next year. We see nothing but upside for the community,” said Bob Harter, director of sales and marketing for L’Auberge Del Mar. According to Coleman, the average age of attendees was 38, and average household

now,” said resident and golf club member Vearl Smith, who shared concerns about what would happen if the golf club membership were to grow. “I’m here a lot more than I should be, and I find it very difficult during the day to find a parking space.” According to the study, during the highest demand time 164 of the 200 parking stalls were filled, or 82 percent of the lot. On non-tournament days, the average peak demand was 123 spaces filled. At the peak day time, 88 to 192 stalls were filled; and at the non-peak daytime, 78 to 124 stalls were filled. “Even at what we’ve found to be the peak, we’ve never hit 200 stalls filled,” Yahr said. Based on the study by the KOA parking consultant, an additional 85 spaces will be needed to serve all three clubs. A minimum of 285 spaces would be required, but in the chosen program, 300 spaces is the target. In selecting the design program, the subcommittee had looked at a range of options over the past few months, including a 16,400-square-foot facility that would require six new tennis courts, but all 12 would be maintained to avoid disruption. The ultimate decision was a hybrid of two different options — featuring the slightly reduced footprint of 12,200 square feet, combined pools that still maintained a separate lap pool area for adults (a minimum of four lanes) and a resort pool and an adequate buffer to alleviate noise concerns between the pool and neighboring tennis court. As Yahr noted, the community will have ample opportunities to discuss the financing and other input at future meetings before the decision to build the club goes out to a community-wide vote in 2016.

income was above $100,000. The composition of the audience was 43 percent male and 57 percent female, according to her presentation. The event generated an estimated $218,000 in sales tax on merchandise, food, beverages and vending, while local hotels were sold out for the weekend, generating transient occupancy tax of more than $65,000, Coleman reported. A report on the 22nd DAA board agenda said Kaaboo received favorable reports from the Sheriff’s Department and there were no security or traffic issues. Among the festival’s attractions were a Sunset Cliffs stage, which included a beach, boardwalk, volleyball court, swimming pool, cabanas, beach chairs and “elegant, air-conditioned portable restrooms,” said the report. The festival also included an art show, premier wine tasting, gourmet food and vendors. Fennell said the 22nd DAA will net between $800,000 and $900,000 from the event, including rent, parking fees and other sources of revenue. Among the issues raised by board members was that people who called to complain during the event were only able to leave a voice-mail message. While Coleman said festival staff returned all calls by the next day, director Russ Penniman said it would be better to have the calls answered by live staff. “Somebody needs to actually be there. People get frustrated when they hear the machine,” Penniman said.

‘End of the Rainbow’ promises sincere, sober look at Garland late in career

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Intrepid Theatre Co. of Encinitas recently announced its next presentation for Season Six, a San Diego premiere of Peter Quilter’s “End of the Rainbow.” The production will be staged at the Lyceum Space Theatre in Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego, opening Nov. 1, running through Nov. 29. An Olivier Award and Tony Award nominee, “End of the Rainbow” is a musical drama based on iconic star Judy Garland’s comeback concerts in Christmas 1968 that portrays the singer/actress as she struggles to rekindle her career after failed marriages, suicide attempts and addiction. The comedic drama features an ensemble of Garland’s famed hit songs and displays both the glamour and the melancholy of stardom. Acclaimed international actress Eileen Bowman — recent recipient of the Craig Noel Award for playing Adelaide in Lamb’s Players’ “Guys and Dolls” — performs the lead role of Garland. In the show, Garland is 46, and with the most recent love-of-her-life, Mickey Deans, at her side, she attempts to recapture her youthful magic and find lasting happiness. “It’s very exciting to be playing Garland,” said Bowman. “I’ve never played anyone who has actually existed,” she added. “It’s a daunting task, you want to get it right.” Bowman has an “uncanny ability to capture the humor, beauty and reckless nature of this infamous silver screen icon,” said Intrepid’s artistic director, Christy YaelCox.

Fascinated with Garland as a child, Bowman watched her in “The Harvey Girls” and “Meet Me in St. Louis” and was so intrigued with the star that she did a book report in grade school based on Garland’s biography. “I remember thinking her life was so traumatic, even back then, and that no one should have to go through what she went through,” said Bowman about the abuse that Garland suffered as a product of the film industry. As an actress, Bowman feels that vulnerable pain. “We’ve been doing some very heavy scenes in rehearsals. You go to a place that can be very dangerous, so you have to know when to pull out.” There is also a depth of despair in the character. “To play that, I really have to navigate myself to a safe place to protect myself,” Bowman stressed. The show hits highs and lows emotionally. “Judy Garland was hysterically funny and had a cutting sense of humor,” said Bowman. “But when she got drunk or got high on something, that sense of humor would cut right to the bone.” In the show, Garland is depicted with the duality of her inner child contrasting with her professional persona. “So we see her humor, but also witness her awful, awful potty mouth. She cursed like a sailor, but that’s who she was,” said Bowman, who commented that the challenging role will be a pivotal one. “I feel like I’m growing up playing this role,” she added. Yael-Cox’s approach to the show is one of subtlety; her direction as a woman brings a sensitivity to the role of Garland by peel-

Founded in 2009, Intrepid has become an integral part of the city of Encinitas, where the company is working in conjunction with the city to build its first permanent theater home. It is the winner of the 2014 Don Braunagel Award for Outstanding Work by a Small Theatre Company and the Craig Noel Awards for Outstanding Dramatic Production.

Restaurateur Gruber living the ‘Americana’ dream in Del Mar • Plans include opening an ice cream bar on same street BY KRISTINA HOUCK Americana Restaurant has been serving American classics in Del Mar for 15 years. The eatery, which offers Mediterranean-influenced American food, first opened in October 2000. “It’s a nice accomplishment,” said Americana chef and owner Randy Gruber. “I’ve worked hard and I try to make people happy.” Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, Americana features American classics, from tasty cheeseburgers to warm apple pie.

Designer’s life as colorful as her hair: Reflections from Zandra Rhodes BY MICHELE PARENTE, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW To hear her tell it, Zandra Rhodes’ life is like a bolt of plain muslin fabric — muted, ecru, oh-so-dull. Evidence to the contrary, the British-born fashion designer’s life has mirrored one of her heavily textured, ornately patterned silk kaleidoscopic prints. She is a walking explosion of Technicolor, and not just because of her bold, fuchsia bob and theatrical teal blue eye shadow. Over four decades, Rhodes’ outsized client list has included Princess Diana, Jackie Kennedy, Diana Ross, Freddie Mercury, Debbie Harry, Shirley Bassey, Lauren Bacall and Elizabeth Taylor; she has counted architect Frank Gehry, Diana Vreeland and Divine among her friends. One of the first designers to send clothes down the runway with slashes and safety pins, Rhodes was dubbed “The Princess of Punk,” and is credited with helping put the London fashion scene on the map. Last year, she was bestowed the title of “Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire” by Queen Elizabeth herself. Hollywood royalty. Fashion royalty. Real royalty. Very dull. Yes, insists Rhodes, now 75. The part-time Del Mar resident says she’s a homebody who likes to put a pot of soup on the stove for her friends and shops for her favorite shade of Maybelline red lipstick at the local CVS pharmacy. “I am so boring,” she said recently at her Solana Beach design studio, with no trace of false humility. To that, her assistant Sharlene Borromeo looked up from her computer screen (where she had been trading email with Brian May, of Queen, about the introduction Rhodes is writing for his upcoming book), and cocks one eyebrow. “Zandra,” she said, “is so not boring.” ‘Little village’ Rhodes, a self-described workaholic, is as active — and relevant — as ever. She just came from showing her latest collection at London Fashion Week (for the first time since 2007), to good reviews. Last week, she was in Seattle putting the finishing touches on the costumes she designed for the Seattle Opera production of Bizet’s “The Pearl Fishers,” which opened Saturday. And on Thursday, she will hold her annual fashion show at San Diego’s Westgate Hotel. When she’s not in London overseeing production of her custom-made garments or tending to the Fashion and Textile Museum she founded there, Rhodes lives most of the year here, by the beach, with longtime partner Salah Hassanein, 94, a former president of Warner Brothers. Hassanein, a native of Egypt, retired 20 years ago, decided he wanted to live by the sea in Del Mar, and persuaded Rhodes to join him.

A riot of color encircles the work, and life, of British-born designer Zandra Rhodes. Hayne Palmour IV “That’s how I wound up here,” she said. “I never knew I’d end up living in this little village. That’s what it seemed like to me when I first got here.” As she recently recounted to an audience at the Old Globe after a performance of “Full Gallop,” about Vreeland, the legendary Vogue editor, Rhodes burst onto the fashion scene in 1969 with her very first collection. Arriving in the U.S. as a textile designer “who needed to find a job,” Rhodes rang Vreeland up and won the notoriously discerning editor over. “We have to show these,” Rhodes quoted Vreeland as saying. An ensuing spread in Vogue featured famed photographer Richard Avedon behind the camera and a young Natalie Wood as the model in front of it. “There it is,” she said, pointing to a photo in the book “The Art of Zandra Rhodes” showing Wood spreading the wings See RHODES, page B22

Puppy abandoned on 10th floor of Grand Davidson Communities and Thrive Animal Rescue Hyatt San Diego now ‘checked in’ at RCHS team up for dog adoption event in RSF Oct. 25 A tiny shepherd-mix puppy abandoned on the 10th floor of San Diego’s Grand Hyatt Hotel has been transferred to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) in Encinitas, where it is expected to be available for adoption in about a month. The puppy was found wandering the 10th floor of the hotel last week. When an elevator door opened, the pup tried to board. A quickthinking guest who saw that the puppy wasn’t going make it in time blocked the door to keep the pup from being crushed. Hotel officials checked with every guest on the 10th floor. None Hyatt will be put of them claimed the puppy. They nicknamed him “Hyatt Hound,” and up for adoption he stayed in an office at the Grand Hyatt for two days, giving the ownat the RCHS. er an opportunity to claim him. In a Facebook post, the Grand Hyatt stated, “Thankfully, we are a pet-friendly hotel and therefore have all the means to love and care for him while we find him a good home.” When nobody came forward, Hyatt Hound was taken to the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services, then transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the FOCAS program on Oct. 15. He is expected to remain in private foster care until he is 8 weeks old, then become available for adoption. “As close as we can tell, little Hyatt looks like he might be a German shepherd mix,” said RCHS Foster Care Coordinator Kelly Peters. “He weighs 2 1/2 pounds and appears to be between four and five weeks old. He will get a complete medical examination and he will have up-to-date vaccinations and be neutered before he is adopted. He will also have a registered microchip. That will assure that he can be identified if he ever goes wandering again.” “In spite of the circumstances, Hyatt is a lucky puppy,” said Kathy Zerkle, vice president of adoption services at RCHS. “Unfortunately, puppies get abandoned every day. This is the first time we’ve ever had a puppy abandoned on the 10th floor of luxury hotel.” For information about Hyatt puppy and other dogs, cats, and rabbits that need forever homes, or to make a donation to help pay for Hyatt’s care, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza St. in Encinitas, call 760-753-6413, or visit www.sdpets.org.

RC Humane Society celebrates ‘second chances’ at annual gala Nov. 14 in RSF “Give. Love. Grow,” will be the theme when your Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) hosts its annual Celebration of Second Chances at 5 p.m. Nov. 14 at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Premier tickets at $285 include a cocktail reception with RCHS President Jim Silveira. The reception for the $185 level begins at 5:30. All guests will be treated to dinner, drinks, entertainment, and raffle and auction items. CBS News 8 reporter Jeff Zevely and his wife, Heather, will once again host the Celebration. The evening will also feature the world premiere of the “Give. Love. Grow” video by Emmy Award-winning producer Zoya Popova. Silveira said this year’s Celebration is a step into the future for the 55-year-old animal shelter. “When Rancho Coastal Humane Society opened in 1960, this was a rural area with cows, coyotes, and crows. We still operate out of the little yellow house where it began, but today we’re surrounded by a thriving community.

Davidson Communities is hoping to help find forever homes for a group of former shelter dogs when it teams with Thrive Animal Rescue for its first public adoption event at Enclave Rancho Santa Fe from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25. Located at 7915 Silvery Moon Lane in Rancho Santa Fe, Enclave is easily accessible off Del Dios Highway by turning onto Bing Crosby Boulevard and proceeding to the private gates on the left. Because of street parking constraints, valet parking will be provided for all guests. “Davidson Communities has a long history of community service and philanthropy, and this partnership with Thrive felt like a perfect fit,” said Bill Davidson, president of Davidson Communities; a popular local homebuilder building forever homes for local families since 1978. In reaching out to Thrive Animal Rescue, Davidson learned that its biggest need, in addition to monetary donations, was reliable foster homes. “This is where we knew we could help. By connecting with past and present homeowners, we are able to network on behalf of these former shelter dogs,” added Davidson. “By creating public awareness that the shelters are filled with great dogs who’ve been abandoned for reasons having nothing to do with health or behavioral issues, we can help change the way people look for a new family dog.” The host site for the Oct. 25 adoption event, Enclave Rancho Santa Fe, is an intimate neighborhood of 13 luxury residences behind private gates with panoramic views of the golf course at The Crosby.

The Freedom Frontline coalition recently hosted a foreign affairs and national security discussion with the longest serving United States spokesperson to the United Nations, Richard Grenell. Radio host Mark Larson (1170 AM), emceed the local gathering, featuring Grenell, an international communications strategist and frequent contributor to the media, from Fox News and Wall Freedom Frontline’s President Ursula Kuster, Mark Street Journal to Al-Jazeera Larson and Richard Grenell. Courtesy photo and Huffington Post. Topics ranged from international politics to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails. Emphasis was given to the current relationship between the U.S. and the U.N. Grenell said that America’s historic leadership role has been abdicated under the current administration, leaving a vacuum of leadership in both the U.N. and NATO. Israel has never been allowed to serve on the U.N. Security Council and has always relied on U.S. support. In an unprecedented move by the White House, U.S. Ambassador Samantha Powers was instructed to sit out Bibi Netanyahu’s recent address to the world’s body. It is also unprecedented, he said, for the U.S. president to lobby Congress via the U.N. Grenell said he believes there has been a fundamental shift in American foreign policy: concern for being liked rather than being respected on the world stage. Two examples given by Grenell: The Obama Administration didn’t address the Iran nuclear situation for more than 18 months, and communications with Soviet President Vladimir Putin have netted negative results in Syria/Middle East and appear to have ushered back a Cold War footing with Russia. According to Grenell, the U.S. Ambassador seems to care most about giving and attending the best parties. He went on to say that assessment funding based on a country’s reported GDP results in the U.S. supporting 22 percent of UN funding, while Russia and China combined represent less than 2 percent. All 193 countries of the United Nations have the same voting power: one vote. On the email issue, Grenell said he feels a Clinton indictment is inevitable. He described, as a former employee, the rigorous enforcement of State Department security protocols, which involve two separate computers — one dedicated solely to classified information — and the nightly lock-up of the secure computer’s “guts” in the combination safe provided in each office. Obviously, the former Secretary of State flouted these rules. When underlings have gone to jail for far less, including Gen. David Petraeus, said Grenell, it’s hard to believe she has done nothing wrong. Visit www.freedomfrontline.com. — Submitted press release

Community Concerts opener a big hit with Canadian vocalists Vivace

ROC awaits POTUS at the beach, makes its own waves instead BY LAIRD NAMATH AND JOE HAMILTON The RSF Outdoors Club (ROC) spent the previous weekend at the beach for its annual Surf Camp. Given the hot weather, the timing was perfect. The weekend was packed with the usual beach fare, but this year was special. Given the uncertainty of President Obama’s San Diego schedule, ROC prepared for POTUS. The Wagner family, confused from the outset, were Dads offer surfing tips while the kids wait to jump into under the impression that the water. Courtesy photo Friday was spelled “Fry Day,” and fried everything, whether it was food or not. They also don’t know the word “small.” This was counterbalanced by the Malters, whose schedule seemed tuned for maximum fun and minimal work, given that they would leave camp for some imaginary event, only to return at the precise moment the final dish was being washed. As a Navy SEAL stated, “Consistency is a rarity these days, and this level of exhibition cannot be coached. It is given from above.” Saturday rebounded to “Wagnerian” levels with the Jacobsens and their homemade sourdough pancakes. The carbo-loading was required, as the Golden boys got everyone ready for surfing. Noting the waves were over 8 feet, all kids were directed into the water. Most dads looked on passively, indifferent to the violent crashing of waves, surfboards, and children on the boulder-strewn beach. After being reloaded with burgers a la Sansone, sandcastle building started. As this devolved into a massive 7-foot pit, rumors spread that POTUS was near. So preparation began for the clambake. With kids assigned sous-chef duties, playing gleefully with vegetables and knives, the Barton family readied the steamer with lobster, crab, mussels and stew. While the food was steaming, the annual “Crush Their Spirits” football game commenced, the point of which is to extend the fanciful glory days of the dads. Professor Barton made his presence felt by going medieval on most kids. And as required by game rules, at least one participant was bloodied and tearful, but this injured dad salved his wounds with an elixir. However, the game will need to institute a review policy: • Can the cameraman catch touchdowns? • Is it illegal to carry an opposing player in possession of the football into his own endzone? How is that scored? Safety, a touchdown? Retiring to the clambake, and anticipating POTUS, pound after pound of lobster and crab were demolished before ending the evening with a Scary Story contest. The lazy Sunday morning was interrupted by the Brandrups celebrating Leif Ericson Day by stuffing us with 60 eggs and assorted meats. With POTUS a no-show, ROC slowly left the idyllic beach for the boiling hinterlands of RSF. Note: The Slosar family was also in attendance, but did nothing worth reporting and added little value to the event.

REVIEW BY DANA WHEATON The 2015-2016 season of Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe began Oct. 9 at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe with a performance by Canadian vocal quartet Vivace. For those of you who only want to know whether they were good or not — they were superb! Vivace is a Canadian vocal quartet with Melody Courage, Tiffany Desrosiers, Marc Devigne and special guest Brett Pruneau. They were accompanied by pianist Trevor Hoffmann. Vivace performed at the opener of the 2015-16 season They opened with Deviof Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe. Courtesy gne walking out on stage singing “Unchained Melo- photo dy,” the Righteous Brothers’ hit. One by one, the others joined him. The arrangement was made more lush by Hoffmann using a laptop computer to play additional tracks. “A Thousand Years,” the Christina Perri hit, was next. Devigne’s solo song needed a woman from the audience who had to act as if she wasn’t interested in him. Considering that all four of these performers are very attractive, that was some splendid acting that triggered a ripple of laughter from the audience. All four singers are classically trained and they showed their talent when Courage and Desrosiers asked that the microphones be turned off for their performance of Delibes “Flower Duet” from his opera, “Lakmé.” This duet lives atop the waves. And to raise the bar higher, Courage sang, “O mio babbino caro” from Puccini’s “Gianni Schicchi.” If this aria doesn’t make you tear up, something is wrong at home. Then it was the boys’ turn. Devigne and Pruneau performed Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young.” Desrosiers sang “The World to Me,” the closing track on her self-titled debut album. A contest ensued between Courage and Pruneau vs. Desrosiers and Devigne on the Neapolitan song, “O sole mio.” The first duo sang it a little bit classical, while the second duo sang it a little bit pop. They asked the audience to vote after the concert. Vivace received the first of three standing ovations at the end of the first half. Desrosiers’ next song was the Elvis hit, “It’s Now or Never.” I was definitely impressed when they performed Handel’s “Sarabande,” used in the Stanley Kubrick film “Barry Lyndon.” Young people love mashups, so they did one with Ariana Grande’s “Love Me Like You Do” and Ellie Goulding’s “Something in the Way You Move.” At this time, it was the accompanist’s showcase. Hoffmann asked the audience to give him a two-measure melody. People called out, “Rhapsody in Blue” and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.” Hoffmann comically backed down, saying he was born in 1995, so Desrosiers provided a unique tune. For those of you that love Solfège, the pitches were: sol, do, mi, re, do, ti, do and sol. Hoffmann created quite an impromptu with that handful of notes. Desrosiers performed a beautiful rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” The next piece held special significance for me. As some of you know, I’m writing this review to continue what my dad, Dr. Jack Wheaton, did so well. Approximately 13 years ago, my father visited where I was teaching so that I could show off the sound system and movie projector. I showed him “Requiem for a Soldier” by Michael Kamen from the HBO series, “Band of Brothers.” He was touched by its reverence, as I was touched Friday night by the reverence of Vivace for this beautiful theme. Something light was necessary and they encouraged a singalong on “Fools Rush In.” Next came Jimmy Webb’s “All I Know.” Vivace closed with “The Face,” written by Mark Masri (yes, another Canadian), and featured on their debut album. However, the standing ovation compelled them to do an encore, Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye,” whereupon they received their third standing ovation. Dana Wheaton is a professor of music at Orange Coast College.

Horror Unscripted Variety Nights at NC CCA Envision offers three November plays The Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre Arts department presents three producNovember: Rep offers one-night-only show Oct. 26 tions• in“Keep Your Pantheon,” by David Mamet, will play at 6 p.m. Nov. 6, 7 and 14; at 7 Tired of seeing pop-up Halloween stores everywhere? Bored watching “Halloween” or the “Scream” films on TV? Check out Impro Theatre’s Horror Unscripted Variety Nights at North Coast Repertory Theatre, at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 26, when the performers take a “stab” at creating an entire play in the style of 1980s horror films on stage, right before your very eyes! Get your throats ready, because screams of laughter will be leaping out as you experience this completely improvised, side-splitting, nightmare-inducing spectacle. The play you will witness has never been seen before and will never be seen again. Fair warning: it cannot be unseen… Founded as Los Angeles Theatresports in 1988, Impro Theatre has evolved from a successful short-form improv troupe into a critically acclaimed theatre company. Impro creates completely improvised, full-length plays in the styles of the world’s greatest writers, and every performance is unique. Tickets for the one-night-only performance are $25/$22 (senior, student, military). To order tickets, visit the website at northcoastrep.org, or call 858-481-1055. North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

p.m. Nov. 12; and at 4:30 p.m. Nov. 13, at the outdoor amphitheatre. An impoverished acting company on the edge of eviction is offered a lucrative engagement. But through a series of riotous mishaps, the troupe finds its problems have actually multiplied, and that they are about to learn a new meaning for the term “dying on stage.” * Parental guidance is suggested for “Keep Your Pantheon” due to the mature content. • “The Women,” by Clare Boothe Luce, will be performed at 7 p.m. Nov. 6, 7, 13 and 14; and at 4:30 p.m. Nov. 12, in the Proscenium Theatre. The themes of love, loyalty, gossip, vanity, marriage and divorce are all covered in this fast-paced semi-parody about a diverse group of women living in 1940s Manhattan. It will be up to the audience to decide who has been wronged and whose behavior has been justified as they navigate gray areas that exist throughout the story. • “The Good Woman” plays at 7 p.m. Nov. 12-14 and Nov. 20, and at 4:30 Nov. 19 at the Black Box theater. In the walled city of Kowloon, life is tough and the citizens are too concerned with survival to consider the values of good and evil. All except one, Shen Te, a penniless prostitute, who would like to be good but must sell herself to survive. An inspector from outside the walled city, disguised as three popular gods is searching for signs of righteousness in a corrupt city. Shen Te, the good woman, takes her in and shows her kindness. Shen Te earns a monetary gift from the gods, that leads to her downfall. This musical leaves the audience pondering poverty, gender equality, and what it means to be a good person.

Jewish Learning Institute offers course on spiritual side of existence Some questions are universal to the human experience. Is there life after death? What happens to the soul after we die? What is it like for those who have traveled over to the Great Beyond? These are but a few of the questions addressed in the newest course from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI). Beginning Oct. 26, JLI will present “The Journey of the Soul,” the institute’s new six-session fall 2015 course. Rabbi Levi Raskin of the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the six-course sessions at 7 p.m. Mondays. “There’s a significant amount of confusion in the Jewish community about what happens to us when we die,” said Rabbi Naftali Silberberg, the lead editor for the course from JLI’s headquarters in New York. “Many ideas that originate in other religions and belief systems have been popularized in the media and are taken for granted by unassuming Jews. In ‘Journey of the Soul,’ we clear up these miscon-

ceptions and introduce an authentically Jewish approach which is both surprising and refreshing.” “Journey of the Soul” provides spiritual insight into the soul’s journey through life, death, and beyond, as well as ancient Jewish wisdom that sheds light on the philosophical, emotional, and practical aspects of coping with death and mourning. “Science knows very little about the soul and what happens to it post-mortem,” said Rabbi Levi Raskin, the local JLI instructor in Rancho Santa Fe. “It’s about what is truly valuable and meaningful in life, which is relevant to everyone, and many in RSF have expressed their curiosity to learn about the topic, so we’re expecting a good turnout.” Professor Sheldon Solomon of Skidmore College who co-wrote the book “The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life,” commented: “This course strikes me as a very fine juxtaposition of ancient theological wisdom with

contemporary empirical science. My sense is that this will be an interesting and rewarding educational and personal experience.” The course is being offered in joint sponsorship with the Washington School of Psychiatry, enabling medical and mental health professionals to earn up to 7.5 AMA, APA, CBBS, and ASWB continuing education credits for their participation. Like all previous JLI programs, “Journey of the Soul” is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any 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. Register to 858-756-7571 or www.jewishRSF.com.

Pulitzer Prize-winning ‘Become Ocean’ to open season at LJS&C

‘Diablo,’ ‘India’s Daughter’ top San Diego Film Festival’s jury awards

FROM LJS&C REPORTS The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) will present the first concert of its 61st season, “Soundscape San Diego: Exploration and Remembrance,” at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 31 and 2 p.m. Nov. 1 in Mandeville Auditorium at UC San Diego. The musical program will offer works by Brahms, Varèse, and the regional premiere of John Luther Adams’ “Become Ocean,” winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music. “As I devised the programs for this season, I thought about the notion of exploration and considered our home, San Diego, a vibrant and complex city where exploration across a spectrum of technology, business and art is our daily business,” said Music Director Steven Schick. “I also thought about our perch at the edge of the continent and how the sea has been a highway for exploration throughout history. “I also thought about San Diego as a military town. That’s where remembrance comes in, as we’ll hear later in the season with works by Copland and Bartòk, written at the end of WW II, now exactly 70 years ago, that help us honor that and celebrate the men and women of the greatest generation.” The season opener begins with Edgard Varèse’s short and wry commentary on orchestras and audiences, “Tuning Up.” This “un-music” before the concert start fascinated Varèse, and by adding a few of his typical touches — marching percussion figures and the inevitably low siren — he created a whimsical and perfect overture to a symphonic concert. Next, pianist and UCSD Distinguished Professor Aleck Karis will perform Johannes Brahms’ massive Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor. Brahms combines piano with orchestra as equal partners in this work, leading some to refer to it as a symphonic-concerto. “Become Ocean” was commissioned by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and first performed in 2013. The single-movement work was inspired by the oceans of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, where John Luther Adams lived for three decades before moving to New York City. In its 45 minutes, the work does one thing: It generates waves. Three groups of instruments — winds, brass and strings, each with a percussion instrument or piano activating surface rhythms — get louder and then softer in the inexorable patterns of surf that we on the coast know so well. The single moment in the piece in which all three waves culminate at the same time is magisterial and titanic. Adams will attend the concert weekend. The conductor offers a pre-concert lecture one hour before the show. Concert tickets are $15-$29 at 858-534-4637 or lajollasymphony.com. Parking is free.

BY JEANNE FERRIS After five days of screenings and VIP parties, the San Diego Film Festival announced the Jury award winners which is judged by the industry: • Best Feature: “Diablo” • Best Documentary: “India’s Daughter” • Best International: “Victoria” • Best Family: Operation: “Neighborhood Watch!” • Best Military: “No Greater Love” • Best Short: “Sub Rosa” • Best Animation: “Soar” • Kumeyaay Award: “For Blood” • Chairman’s Award: “Kidnap Capital” “For me, the highlight of the festival was the Variety’s Night of the Stars Tribute,” said Tonya Mantooth, director of programming, SDFF. “While everyone is on the red carpet or at the Chairman’s Reception, I’m running final rehearsals and editing the show script. The one thing I try to do is create an awards show that is entertaining and intimate. And there was an intimacy to the evening that was magical. The message that came back to me was that each of the honorees thoroughly enjoyed the evening.” Adrien Brody (Cinema Vanguard Award), Geena Davis (Reframed Humanitarian Award, for an individual who dedicates time and efforts to fighting for equality and against intolerance through the use of film), Brit Marling (Auteur Award, the ability to give a film his/her personal stamp regardless of the author), John Boyega (Rising Star Award) and Jack Robbins (Chris Brinker Award, given to a director not afraid to push the envelope in cinema) were all in attendance to receive their awards at the Tribute, which was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. The Audience Choice is voted on by attending film enthusiasts: • Best Feature: “Moments of Clarity” • Best Documentary: “Return to Dak To” • Best Short: “Gunfighter” • Best Studio: “He Named Me Malala” The Chairman’s Award was recently established to cele-

Felipe Rodriguez (director of Kidnap Capital) and Johnathan Sousa (actor in Kidnap Capital) with the Chairman’s Award. Courtesy photo brate a film that was groundbreaking in its storytelling. “Because ‘Kidnap Capital’ was based on real events, which is absolutely happening in border states, people need to become aware of this atrocity,” said Dale Strack, chairman of SDFF. “No matter where you stand on the immigration issue, this film puts a human face on the issue and the human spirit and drive to build a better life for themselves and their families.” Visit sdfilmfest.com.

Lighting the Way to the Most Dramatic Home Theater in San Diego San Diego Home Theater Experts, Modern Home Systems, on lighting your home theater properly. Lights! Camera! Action! It’s no wonder that a great production needs the right light to set the tone. Your home theater is no exception. Outstanding indoor lighting is one of the best ways to distinguish your home theater, and thanks in part to a recent article at CE Pro , here are the best ways to create ambiance and accentuate your space with sensational lighting.

• Temperature Did you know that lighting temperature can significantly alter the quality of your home theater? Lights should ideally be set at 6,500 Kelvin. When light temperature is too strong, it can lead to off-set colors. For example, certain temperatures can change the fidelity of the screen, setting hues offbalance. Dimmable LED lighting is the ideal choice for lighting your home theater. Click here to see some examples of how we’ve used light to create the perfect ambiance using just the right temperatures. • Lighting Automation Dramatic home theater, San Diego, La Jolla It goes without saying that watching Jurassic Park is completely different than tuning into the 6 o’ clock news. Your lighting should reflect the mood appropriately and automation can set that dream into motion. For example, when you watch the

news, your lighting can be programmed to illuminate into a bright setting. On the other hand, when you’re ready to watch a movie, the lights can dim to perfect theater level. Automation makes lighting incredibly easy. • Zoned Lighting In many cases, it makes sense to zone lighting controls. Depending on how your room is set up, you’ll want to take into consideration which part of the room deserves the greatest amount of light versus the area of the room that ought to be dim. Create light installations on unique circuits to customize the look even further. We’ll help you map out a lighting plan that best suits your home theater. • Accentuate with Light We work with many San Diegans who want a custom home theater. Regardless of the style you choose, you’ll want to use light to accentuate the space. We can use lighting

to draw attention to any facet of the room – a tiered ceiling, awesome speakers, movie posters or architectural details. Wall sconces, overhead LED lighting and backlighting are all great ways to draw attention to various aspects of the room without detracting from the main show. • Themed Theaters You can do so much with proper lighting. From setting the tone to creating a theme, lighting can make or break the space. In one of our recent projects, we used light to theme a Star Wars home theater. Imagine this space without any light at all! It would have instantly fallen ﬂat. This project utilized automation, distributed audio and perfect lighting to create the perfect home theater theme. Get the right lighting in your home theater today. Log onto http:// ModernHomeSystems.com or give us a call at (858) 554-0404. Dramatic home theater, San Diego, La Jolla

AMERICANA

HALLOWEEN

continued from page B4

At the time, the site housed a branch of San Diego-based Café 222. Interested in the corner spot, Gruber contacted the restaurant owner and learned she was going to list the location for sale. “I was lucky,” he said. Gruber’s general contractor helped transition the eatery to Americana almost overnight. The restaurant opened for business during the day, and at night, the team installed new floors and kitchen equipment. He proudly displays his first customer’s check on the wall in his office. “It turned out to be my dream and better than I thought it would ever be,” Gruber said. “I got really lucky and I worked really hard. The harder you work, the luckier you get.” Offering indoor and outdoor seating, Americana has space for about 140 people. The restaurant is busiest on the weekends and during the summer. “It’s a dream that’s come true and I’ve been able to maintain it for 15 years,” said Gruber, who has a 50-year lease. Serving seven days a week, Americana opens at 7 a.m. everyday and closes at 9 or 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, depending on the time of year. The restaurant closes at 3 p.m. Sundays and Mondays. Living just down the street, Gruber is at the location on most days. “I live here in town and I’m a member of the community,” said Gruber, who has named dishes after his wife, a local physician named Caron, and their children, 13-yearold Lina and 12-year-old Dylan. “Even on the days I take off, I still come by and make sure everything is going OK,” he said. As if his schedule weren’t busy enough, Gruber has plans to open another shop on the same street in the Village of Del Mar. The shop will be Americana’s version of an ice cream parlor, located at the former site of Mariposa Boutique and named in honor of the late shop owner, Margaret Ann Young. The store will offer shakes, sundaes, smoothies and other treats, including baked goods from Americana. “I think it will be a nice addition to Del Mar,” said Gruber, adding that the shop’s name might be Maggie’s Malt Shop or Maggie’s Milk Bar. “I feel lucky,” he said. “My life is rich. I’m lucky to be living in this town, doing what I’m doing.” Visit www.americanarestaurant.com.

of a yellow felt butterfly coat. “Here’s one based on that,” she said, pulling a recent baby blue version off a crowded rack in her studio. “I do new things, and I go back and visit the old.” She turns to a page in the book, “Zandra Rhodes, A Lifelong Love Affair with Textiles,” displaying Mercury, the late lead singer of Queen, draped in a voluminous, white pleated cape dress. “It might be the one outfit that crystallized who Freddie Mercury was — much more than that vest from The Village People,” she said, with a slight sniff. Another dishy aside: “That safety-pin dress by Versace (famously worn by Elizabeth Hurley)? It was just like a dress I had made years before.” Though she hasn’t seen Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld since the funeral of Princess Diana (“Who has time to go to Paris?”), she calls him a friend and considers him one of the great fashion talents working today. Ditto Parisian haute couturier Jean Paul Gaultier. “He’s amazing, but he doesn’t get the P.R. he should. It could be he doesn’t pay for (magazine) ads,” she said. “It’s all gotten so commercial,” Rhodes said of the current fashion industry. “There’s a entire block in Tokyo with nothing but stores selling Michael Kors bags. How many Michael Kors handbags do you need?”

‘Just a few friends’ Rhodes thinks her hair color is why she was chosen to create Mercury’s white cape in the ’70s. “When you have pink hair, everybody thinks you’re hip. I didn’t even know what kind of music he played,” she laughed. Like an evolving rainbow, her hair has been blue, pink, green, red, pink blue, and back to pink, where it’ll stay. “Now that I’m gray.” Not everyone thinks a 75-year-old woman with pink hair is hip. One of Rhodes’ longtime friends, Joan Agajanian Quinn, former West Coast editor for Andy Warhol’s Interview, said the shocking hue causes people to underestimate Rhodes. “People look at her and think she’s this punk princess, but she’s very conservative, in the way she thinks,” Quinn said. “She doesn’t advertise it, she lives it. ... “I come from a pretty politically conservative background, and people would always wonder how I could have a friend like that— until they’d meet her, and then they’d want to be her friend.” Quinn and La Jolla food writer (and Union-Tribune contributor) Jeanne Jones described Rhodes as loyal, supportive, and one of the least pretentious people they know. “She’s an amazing friend. Even with all the international accolades she’s had, she is totally unaffected by them, which is just awesome,” Jones said. “She is so trustworthy,” Jones added. “There are just some people that if you’re in a pinch, they’d do anything to help you and would never repeat something you’ve told them.” Her friends described her as a funny raconteur, quick with a quip or a well-woven tale. “And you know, honey, she’s very, very smart,” Jones said. “You know all of the jokes about the dumb blonde? Well, with that hair, everybody thinks you’re a bit of a ditz, and because of that she probably gets away with a lot of things.” Jones met Rhodes about 30 years ago in the London shop the designer used to have there. (Rhodes said allowing her shop to close because she was too busy traveling is her life’s one regret.) Jones bought the first of her 20 Zandra Rhodes pieces, a yellow and gray sari dress, and the two became fast friends. Years later, in San Diego, Rhodes invited Jones over for dinner. The invitation was woven with a British penchant for understatement. She made it sound like it would be, well, a little dull. “She said, ‘Why don’t you come around for dinner. I’ll just have a few friends and I’ll do dinner and I’ll do all the cooking.’ And here she is, by god, doing the dinner. She’s the chef and the hostess. And, oh honey, that little party had 40 people there,” Jones remembered. “Forty of the most interesting people, fabulous people, designers, artists. ... Even the designer who did Diana’s wedding dress. That’s her.”
