BY JOE TASH A committee that is proposing changes to the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s voting rules is encouraging members to comment on the proposal by the end of a 45-day comment period, which runs through Nov. 30. The proposed changes would expand the total number of potential votes on Association issues — such as election of the board of directors — from 2,112 to about 3,500, according to Fred Wasserman, an Association board member and chairman of the committee that has crafted the list of recommended changes. As part of the process of gathering input on the proposed changes, the committee held a town hall meeting at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club
on Oct. 22. About 40 people attended the meeting, where they heard presentations from committee members and asked questions. After the session, Wasserman said the purpose of the proposal is “fairness, simplification and equity.” The proposal would amend both the Association’s bylaws and articles of incorporation, which address voting rules, said committee members. The underlying Rancho Santa Fe Covenant would not be changed, they said, nor would assessment rates or methods be affected. Under current rules, Wasserman said, individual condominium owners are not entitled to vote on Association issues. Instead, each condo development is given two votes. Although the Covenant contains

Rowe robotics team creates solar phone chargers for Nov. 7 competition The Solar Cyclers, the sixth-grade robotics team from R. Roger Rowe School, are competing Nov. 7 in the FLL International Robotics Challenge in Escondido. More than 233,000 children from ages 9 and up compete in this challenge around the world. Besides designing a robot and competing on a robotics course with a garbage theme, the team competed in this year’s Project Challenge, called “Trash Trek.” They were tasked with identifying a problem with how garbage is managed, and then to design an innovative solution. The Solar Cyclers decided to design a solar telephone charger, made completely out of discarded garden solar garden stakes and discarded phone cords. They asked friends and neighbors in Rancho Santa Fe, many landscapers, and even friends on Facebook to send them their broken garden solar lights. They were surprised that so many people gave the team their broken solar items, and they were even more
The solar-powered phone chargers were made out of discarded solar stakes, phone chargers, and scrap. The Solar Cyclers are heading to the competition soon, but they plan to continue their project. They are asking anybody who would like to contribute their broken garden solar stakes or lights, old phones, or phone chargers to contact them at goluther1@hotmail.com.
The Solar Cyclers — Malcolm McDonough, Jake Malter, Dylan Powell, JT Young, David Scuba, Kanvar Soin, Brandon Powell — visited Interfaith Community Services in Escondido, where they donated solar chargers and performed a rap. Courtesy photo excited about how their concept worked! With this scrap, they built solar-based phone chargers and decided to distribute them to the homeless. They learned about voltage meters, amperage readers, and how to solder. They met with community mentors, including at the Waste Management robotic sorting facility, different electronics recycling facilities, a local patent attorney, and engineers from Qualcomm. The Solar Cyclers decided to take the project a step further. They made several solar phone chargers and presented the idea to Interfaith Community services, which provides various support services to the homeless. They dressed in costume and performed a rap, met with the Volunteer Services Coordinator, and came up with a plan for the solar-powered phone chargers to be accessible to their homeless clients.

Local company offers SEAL-style strategic skills training BY KRISTINA HOUCK Have you ever wondered what it would be like to train as a Navy SEAL? Thanks to a Solana Beach company, now you can find out. Strategic Operations Skills Training, or SOST, stems from The Jenks Group, a Solana Beach-based consulting company headed by local entrepreneur Sharon Jenks. The program was originally developed so executives could learn how to apply the strategic principles that keep special operations forces successful on the battlefield to their business. “Think about where you’re putting your time and your energy every single day,” said Jenks, who founded The Jenks Group in 1993. “Is it working?” Four years in development, the program previously collaborated with park rangers in Utah when the company was based in Northern California. After Jenks relocated to Solana Beach in 2013, the company brought former Navy SEALs on board. With instruction by retired SEALs, the program uses a realistic battlefield on a San Diego film studio lot,
complete with special effects to heighten the experience for participants. Through the two-day program, executives participate in physically and mentally challenging exercises modeled on successful military strategies, such as how to handle an AR-15 rifle and how to operate as a team to clear an area and subdue hostile forces. These challenges help executives close the six primary gaps that Jenks said are at the root of all corporate performance issues: discipline, focus, trust, training, governance and strategic effectiveness. “Because we’ve been doing strategic planning for so long, we have realized that over time, executive teams are becoming less focused,” said Jenks, adding that access to technology may be to blame. “It is creating disconnection with the teams. They aren’t fully present when they’re in the room.” The educational experience is tailored for every company. One-day programs are also now available for executives looking for a new, more effective approach to achieving corporate goals.
how to safely handle, load and fire a weapon. Participants are then placed in real-life scenarios, such as a home invasion, that develop self-awareness, decision-making and handeye coordination. Groups of friends and family members have gone through the program, even firefighters and sheriff’s officials, Jenks said. Participants must be over the age of 21 and have a valid U.S. passport. “It creates awareness so you can make sure you stay safe,” Jenks said. For more about SOST Training for executives, visit sosttraining.com; for more about the SOST Experience, visit www.sostexperience.com. A portion of the proceeds from both programs goes to the Navy SEAL Foundation. “I like helping people,” Jenks said. “When I started my business, it was because I wanted to help companies get better at what they did, I wanted to help individuals grow in their careers. With these programs, I’m able to help more people.”
Sharon Jenks, founder of Strategic Operations Skills Training. Courtesy photo “We’re very flexible because we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all for companies,” Jenks said. Because of the program’s success, Jenks has launched the SOST Experience, a unique self-defense course. A separate entity, the SOST Experience offers individuals or groups who want to test their knowledge, ability and skill in a hyper-realistic environment. Also led by retired SEALs, the full-day program promotes gun safety and shows participants

Best-selling ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ author comes home to San Diego • Tess Gerritsen to discuss new thriller, “Playing With Fire,” on Nov. 12 at Jewish Community Center BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ She’s received the NERO and the RITA awards, been nominated for the Macavity and the Edgar, and none other than Stephen King has said she is better than Michael Crichton — and invited her to play her fiddle in his Rock Bottom Remainders band. Her books have been published in 40 countries and sold more than 25 million copies. And her two most famous characters, Rizzoli and Isles, are now the leads in a hit TV show by the same name. Who is she? If you guessed Tess Gerritsen, you are right. At 2 p.m. Nov. 12, Gerritsen returns to San Diego to speak and sign copies of her new book, “Playing With Fire,” at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Join her for a discussion of the book and a performance of the musical piece, “Incendio,” that she wrote to complement the novel. An old friend of ours who has keynoted and taught at the La Jolla Writers Conference twice, Gerritsen recently sat down to answer a few of our questions.

You are an MD. How and why did you transition into writing? I knew I was a writer when I was 7 years old, but I come from immigrant Chinese parents who didn’t think that writing was a safe career. I chose my second-favorite career path, into the sciences. While on maternity leave from my work as a doctor, I wrote my first novel. A few novels later, I was published — and decided not to go back to medicine.
ist. The characters in your stand-alone books are often terrifying. What is it like to live with such characters for the months of writing a book? It’s a bit disconcerting. To understand an evil character, I really have to get inside his head, but that means he also gets into my head. It changes your perspective on the world. When you see it through the eyes of a predator, everything and everyone looks different.
There is a story that goes with your transition from romance to suspense. Can you share it, please? I had dinner with a homicide detective who’d been traveling in Russia. He told me that children were vanishing in Moscow, and Russian police thought the kids were being kidnapped and sacrificed as organ donors for rich patients. I was so horrified by the story that I knew it was my next book — and it was definitely not a romance novel. “Harvest” marked my debut on best-seller lists, and taught me that I really am a thriller writer.
You write both stand-alone novels and your “Rizzoli & Isles” books. What is the primary difference between writing stand-alone and series books? Now that I’m expected to write the “Rizzoli & Isles” series, my stand-alone books are my personal projects, the stories that I write for myself because they really mean something to me. “Bone Garden” was one story I loved writing, about the history of medicine and what it was like to be a doctor in the brutal era before anesthesia and antibiotics. “Playing With Fire” is another project I had to write, because the story held me captive until I did
Romance has the biggest market share. Why the transition to suspense/thriller genre? Even when I was writing romance, there was always a murder or two in my stories, so I know I was meant to write suspense. Also, I found many more readers as a suspense novel-

Local man aims to immortalize uncle’s civil-rights role via film BY KRISTINA HOUCK Like many other young Americans, Brian Jenkins learned about the civil rights movement in school. But he also heard firsthand stories from his uncle, John Witeck. Witeck’s journey to Selma, Ala., shaped his life. Now, in an effort to preserve an important piece of his family’s past, the local director is sharing the story in a new film called, “Answering the Call.” “It was crazy that somebody in my family, who I looked up to, witnessed a major piece of American history,” said Jenkins. “I knew that one day I wanted to make a film about his march in the movement.” John Witeck was only a second-year student at the University of Virginia when civil rights protesters clashed with police officers. He watched news reports from March 7, 1965, or “Bloody Sunday,” and witnessed protesters being beaten and bloodied. Inspired by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s call to action, Witeck, fellow students and members of the university’s religious community drove to Selma and joined the movement. Witeck attended King’s rally at Brown Chapel. And the day after the rally, Jenkins said his uncle was nearly killed by a group of men because of his support for the civil rights movement. Though the film will follow his uncle’s journey, the project has become Jenkins’ answer to his own call. An Indiana native, Jenkins started his career in music. As the owner of the record label Riot House Records, he helped develop a vinyl-collecting documentary called “Records Collecting Dust” last year.
“Answering the Call” marks his directorial debut. Jenkins said he was inspired by his uncle’s story at an early age. He recalled hearing the tale from his mother when he was in high school. “I always grew up hearing these stories about my uncle,” Jenkins remembered. “He’s the most kind and loving person I know.” Although Witeck was in Selma for just four days, the trip inspired his life’s work. After returning home and graduating from college in Virginia, Witeck studied Asian studies in Hawaii, where he also became involved in civil rights issues. “That was really the catalyst to what he would do for the rest of his life,” Jenkins said. “It’s something that I wanted to document for him to have.” Jenkins will begin shooting in the start of 2016. He plans to return to Selma with his uncle to retrace his steps. The film will also examine the state of voting rights in the United States. With a completion date slated for the end of next year, Jenkins plans to submit the film to festivals and also aims to release the documentary digitally and to theaters. To help cover the expenses, he’s established a Indiegogo fundraising campaign. “I hope people take a leap of faith,” Jenkins said. “You never know when you open your heart to something how it will change you.” For more about the film, visit www.answeringthecallselma.com.

Superintendent Schmitt’s Monthly Update: Next Generation Science Standards Superintendent Rick Schmitt regularly updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through our local media with a monthly update. Topics may include academics, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on Next Generation Science Standards and the implications for teaching and learning in science classrooms across our district. What are the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)? Adopted by California in 2013, The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) describe the key scientific ideas and practices that all students should learn by the time they graduate from high school, and emphasize the importance of having a deep understanding of science concepts and engaging in scientific thinking and practices. At Rick Schmitt their heart, the NGSS advocate that all students should learn science by doing science. In contrast to former California Science Content Standards, the NGSS outline an “All Standards, All Students” approach in which all students in grades K-12 will learn about engineering, life, physical, and earth-space science. Developed by educators, scientists, and leaders in science and science education from around the country, the NGSS focus on the big ideas in science and emphasize the common practices that scientists use every day, such as planning investigations, developing models, and designing solutions. The intent is to help all students develop a scientific way of thinking that will prepare them to be informed citizens and ready for college and careers. They encourage students to learn the processes of science in a deep, meaningful way through first-hand, authentic investigations, instead of rote memorization of facts for a test. Why New Science Standards? The NGSS Executive Summary states, “Never before has our world been so complex and science knowledge so critical to making sense of it all. When comprehending current events, choosing and using technology, or making informed decisions about one’s healthcare, science understanding is key. Science is also at the heart of the United States’ ability to continue to innovate, lead, and create the jobs of the future. All students — whether they become technicians in a hospital, workers in a high tech manufacturing facility, or Ph.D. researchers — must have a solid K–12 science education. Through a collaborative, state-led process, new K–12 science standards have been developed that are rich in content and practice and arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education.” NGSS replaces the previous California Content Standard for Science, which were developed over 20 years ago and which emphasized memorization of content rather than investigation, scientific thinking, application, and problem solving. How were the NGSS developed?
The NGSS are based on the National Research Council’s (NRC) A Framework for K-12 Science Education. This framework is grounded in the most current research on science and science education and identified the science all K–12 students should know. The NRC authoring committee was composed of practicing scientists, including two Nobel laureates, cognitive scientists, science education researchers, and science education standards and policy experts. In addition, the NRC used four design teams (engineering, life, physical, and earth-space science) to develop the Framework for their respective disciplinary areas. The final draft was released in July of 2011. Since that time, education teams from 26 states (including California) led the development of the NGSS using this framework, with a 41-member writing team (many of them classroom teachers) and in collaboration with many stakeholders, experts, and partners. What are the Key Changes in NGSS? Like learning to ride a bike or play music, the experience of doing science is far more important than just reading about it in a book. The NGSS promote a way of teaching and learning that allows students to actively do and experience science in a deep, meaningful way, not just learn about it from a textbook or a lecture. The standards accomplish this by integrating three dimensions of learning: 1) science core ideas (the content, for example, biology), 2) practices (how science is conducted in the real world, such as carrying out investigations), and 3) crosscutting concepts (science ideas, like cause and effect, that permeate all sciences). The new standards also incorporate engineering principles, starting in elementary school. Most important, the NGSS set high expectations for all students, not just those planning to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers. Many of our San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) science teachers already incorporate components of NGSS in their classrooms. Last year, science teachers in our district focused on the implementation of two NGSS practices closely aligned with Common Core State Standards in their lessons: 1) arguing from evidence and 2) obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information. As we continue our transition to NGSS, science teachers will emphasize scientific exploration and experimentation, instead of delivering lengthy lectures and expecting students to memorize lists of facts. Engaging classroom experiences will feature students asking more questions, exploring and discussing possible solutions, investigating scientific phenomena, using argumentation, and being fully active in the learning process. This approach mirrors real-world science practices and engages students deeply in the three-dimensional learning process. The NGSS also emphasize the incorporation of engineering in all science courses, and thus problem-solving, design, and redesign will be key features of an NGSS classroom. How do NGSS relate to new English and math standards? The NGSS were developed independently and are not part of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) initiative. The CCSS initiative (released in 2010) established goals for what See SCHMITT, page 11

students should know and be able to do in mathematics and in English language arts (ELA) at the end of each grade and are now the California standards for those subject areas. While the ELA standards do include goals for reading and writing within content areas, such as science, they do not replace the NGSS, and instead work with NGSS to promote scientific literacy. The NGSS articulate the science content, practices, and concepts students should know at different grade levels and build coherently as they progress from kindergarten to 12th grade. The NGSS development team worked closely with the CCSS writers to ensure the science standards align to the mathematics content and make important literacy connections. How is SDUHSD approaching the transition to NGSS? Since the adoption of the NGSS by California in 2013, SDUHSD has taken proactive steps to support awareness of and transition to the new science standards. As with any curricular transition, we approach the transition to NGSS as a gradual, multi-year process involving educating our faculty and our community, providing extensive professional development, and ensuring that our instructional materials support student learning. In the Fall 2014, a science leadership team consisting of science teachers, principals, assistant principals, and district
administrators attended county and state NGSS symposiums and developed a multiyear transition plan. In the 2015-16 school year, all science teachers will deepen their understanding of our new science standards and will practice planning instruction and assessment that successfully integrate the three dimensions of content, practices, and crosscutting concepts. We will also engage in discussions about potential changes to course content and sequence in the SDUHSD science curriculum to ensure that our course content best meets the needs of our students and our community. To provide families with more opportunity to learn about NGSS, we will host workshops at our schools - dates and times for these opportunities will be announced in the spring. As with recent transitions to new standards for English and Mathematics, we are committed to a gradual and multi-year transition during which we communicate clearly and consistently with our community and provide our students and teachers with the support needed to ensure success. Additional information about NGSS Additional information about the NGSS can be found at http://www.nextgenscience.org/.

Torrey Pines varsity repeats last-minute win at homecoming BY WALTER BAYS It was homecoming at Ed Burke field when the Falcons hosted the El Camino Wildcats, and the homecoming king announced at halftime was none other than quarterback Ben Spitters. So it was fitting that just as in the previous week against Oceanside, Spitters led his team to a comefrom-behind victory in the final minute of the game. It was an exciting contest between two evenly matched teams, with the lead changing hands repeatedly. Torrey Pines had more offense, 250 yards versus 192 for El Camino, but also lost two fumbles. Both teams struggled to make sustained drives, thwarted either by the other’s defense or by penalties, but striking quickly on big plays. The Falcons got on the board first. After a tackle by Jared Rosen and then a big sack, El Camino had to punt from their 15, giving Torrey Pines excellent field position near midfield. Jacob Montes ran 26 yards and kicker Luc D’Arcy split the uprights from 42 yards to make the score 3-0. As the second quarter
Ben Spitters hands off to Luke Duerr for a 25-yard gain. Photo by Anna Scipione got underway, the Wildcats blocked another field goal attempt and then drove downfield, scoring on a 26-yard run to go ahead 7-3. Torrey Pines came back 80 yards with Matthew Feeler running 27 and 35 yards, scoring a touchdown. Falcons 10-7. In the third period, a fumbled punt return gave El Camino the ball on the Falcon 44. They moved down to the 3 but couldn’t punch it in, settling for a field goal to tie the game. Another fumble set up the Wildcats on the Falcon 23 and things looked bleak. But the Falcon defense held firm, defensive back Beau Morgans prevented a completion on 3rd and 19, and El Camino settled for another field goal. Wildcats 1310. With under two minutes in the game on his own 38, Spitters looked for receivers as the pass rush closed in. He got the pass away as he was being hit, dumping it off to Feeler, who took it 13 yards for a vital first down. Spitters hit Feeler again for 19 yards, Michael Gadinas for 19 yards, and Gadinas for 7 yards, making it second and 3 from the Wildcat 9-yard line with 17 seconds left on the clock. It was Spitters to Gadinas in the end zone, another D’Arcy extra point, and Torrey Pines took the win 17-13. This week the Falcons play at Mt. Carmel.

write it. Jane and Maura are very real to both your readers and to viewers — and their friendship is a huge part of that. To you, what is the most important aspect of their dynamic? That they are both strong, capable women who are the best at what they do — and they respect each other. “Rizzoli & Isles” is now a successful TV series. What makes a writer willing to turn her characters over to others to bring to the screen? When a producer offers to turn your books into a television series, it’s pretty hard to say no! In my case, the producer (Bill Haber) had a strong respect for the heart of the series: two women professionals who also happen to be friends. There’ve been changes in the characters themselves, but that relationship and that competence has been key. How much input do you have in the development and writing of the series? None. While the pilot episode was based on my book “The Apprentice,” the episodes since then are written by their own writing team, and they’ve felt the freedom to veer away from the books. The premise of your new book is fascinating. Tell our readers a bit about it. The idea came to me in a nightmare while I was in Venice. I dreamt I was playing my violin while a baby sat nearby. The music was strange and disturbing, and the baby suddenly transformed into a monster! Shaken by the dream, I spent the day walking the narrow streets of Venice and I ended up in the Jewish quarter, where there are memorials to the 246 Jews who were deported to death camps. In a flash, the whole story came to me. “Playing With Fire” is about Julia, a violinist who buys a yellowed sheet of handwritten music called “Incendio” in a Rome antique store. Back home in Boston, every time she plays it, her 3-year-old daughter goes berserk. Now Julia’s terrified of her own child, and her husband thinks Julia’s go-
ing insane. To save her family, Julia must delve into the history of “Incendio.” Where does the music come from? Why does it seem to carry such terrifying power? Her search takes her to Venice, and to a dark time in Italian history: WWII, when thousands of Italian Jews lost their lives. Woven into the book is the tragic love story of Lorenzo and Laura, who find that history stands between them. It’s the music “Incendio” that links both past and present, and the long-lost secrets Julia uncovers will threaten her life. A little-known fact about you is that you play the fiddle. Tell us about the music you wrote to go with the new book. It is a compelling piece. While writing “Playing With Fire,” I described “Incendio” in such great detail that it must have worked its way into my subconscious. I woke up one morning with the melody itself in my head. It took me six weeks to compose the 98-bar piece (for violin and piano). I shared the piece with a London music producer, and he immediately suggested some internationally renowned violinists who would want to record it. Yi-Jia Susanne Hou, prize-winning concert violinist, had both the fire and passion for the project, and she even contributed her own violin cadenza to the composition. The 7-minute recording of “Incendio” is now available on iTunes and Amazon. What one piece of advice would you share with aspiring authors? Wait for your characters to speak to you. Sit in a quiet room. When they finally start talking, that’s when you start writing. What’s next from Tess Gerritsen? I’m working on the 12th “Rizzoli and Isles” novel. It should be out next year. Antoinette Kuritz and Jared Kuritz are the team behind both Strategies Public Relations and the La Jolla Writer’s Conference (www.lajollawritersconference.com).
Medicare 101: What you need to know to sign up, make changes during open enrollment BY MARC REYNOLDS While it has been around for half a century, Medicare is still something new for thousands of Americans who turn 65 every day and become eligible to enroll into the national health insurance program. So, if you’re eligible for Medicare, be ready to learn Medicare terminology before deciding on a plan that best fits your health needs. For initial enrollment, you can sign up during the seven-month period that begins three months before the month you turn 65. If you don’t sign up when first eligible, you may have to pay a late enrollment penalty for as long as you have Medicare If you’re already enrolled, be ready to go over that glossary again, especially if you’re thinking of switching Medicare plans. If you’re reading this now, don’t wait too long. Open enrollment for Medicare runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7.
Learn the Medicare plans, study your options Medicare coverages can be very confusing. For example, do you know the difference between Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplemental Insurance (Medigap)? Here is a list of terms to learn and steps you can take to better understand your options and make sure you get the most from your health plan benefits. First, there are two main ways to access Medicare, either through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. It is also important to know about prescription drug coverage and supplemental plans. • Original Medicare is made up of two parts. Part A provides your hospital insurance. Part B provides medical insurance for things like doctor visits and checkups. Everyone can have Part A, regardless of whether you’re still emSee MEDICARE, page 20

We are RSF Homeowners Group. Who are we? We are 300-plus of your friends and neighbors. In several recent articles, our group has been mischaracterized as “PIC Folks” that are trying to regain power in Rancho Santa Fe. Nothing could be further from the truth. Even if the PIC group were trying to regain power, less than 5 percent of our Steering Committee members, the driving force behind the RSF Homeowners Group, are associated with PIC, and less than 10 percent of our overall 300-plus members are associated with PIC. Instead, we are a nonpolitical and diverse group of residents concerned about the proposed Covenant Club. That is our common bond. Certainly, we have no political agenda as a group. We agree with those who would like to attract more young families to the Ranch. But in the process, we don’t want to risk what brought us to the Ranch in the first place. We don’t want to be Santaluz or Crosby or Fairbanks or the Bridges. Many of us are against the Covenant Club facility on the RSF Golf/Tennis Club campus. But some of us are OK with it, especially if it is paid for entirely by its members. Very few of us want to pay for something we won’t use. We all believe that there are higher priorities in the Ranch. And, above all, we want to make sure that the eventual vote on this project reflects the true feelings of well-informed neighbors. We don’t want to wake up some day with an expensive, underutilized asset and ask, “How did that happen?” We are RSF Homeowners Group. Come to rsfhomeownersgroup.com and join us.

Community Enhancement Fund a ‘slush fund’ The assessments for the RSF Community Enhancement fund are illegal. The Davis-Stirling Act governs our Association and all other homeowner associations in California. Section 5600 (b) of the Davis-Stirling Act states, “An association shall not impose or collect an assessment or fee that exceeds the amount necessary to defray the costs for which it is levied.” Our Community Enhancement Fund (“CEF”) is really just a slush fund. It is not a “reserve” fund as defined in the Davis-Stirling Act in sections 5510-5570, as it does not comply with the stringent requirements for restricted reserve funds designed to provide funds to repair or replace depreciating property of the Association. In fact, the CEF assessment is levied each year even though the Association doesn’t know specifically for what it will ultimately be used or even when it will be used. Under this circumstance, it can hardly be argued that the amount of the CEF assessment is “necessary to defray the costs for which it is levied.” If we don’t know specifically for what the CEF assessment will be used, we can hardly calculate the “cost” of this use, and we certainly don’t know what’s “necessary” to assess to pay for this “cost.” This must be exactly the type of assessment that Section 5600 of the Davis-Stirling Act was enacted to prohibit. Homeowners in the Covenant should be required to pay what is needed to maintain our beautiful community, but not be required to contribute to a slush fund that will be available to the constantly changing whims of our Directors. In the most recent budget sent to the membership on May 1, 2015, the CEF assessments are not even included in the budget (making it illegal for yet another reason). Basically, our Association has been taxing our members, not assessing them for the amounts needed to defray our operating expenses. We assume this taxing mentality was caused years ago by the fact that our assessments are based on the assessment roll of the County Assessor, but it is fundamentally wrong for us to assume that we have the same taxing authority as the County. We can’t tax; we can only assess, and then only as limited by Davis-Stirling. We’ve requested our Directors to refund the CEF to our members or use the CEF to pay the ordinary operating expenses of the Association until the CEF has been exhausted, thereby drastically reducing our annual assessments for a year or so. We’ve also asked our Directors to amend immediately the assessment bills that we’ll receive in November, because those assessments also include this illegal tax, and to refrain from spending the CEF on anything until this issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, without good reason, our Directors have failed and refused to comply with our requests. If you agree with our requests, please tell our Directors. Unless our Directors soon admit the impropriety of the CEF assessments, we’ll file suit to ask a judge to declare the CEF assessments illegal. If you have any thoughts on this subject, please let us know. John Blakely Allen Finkelson rsfunite@icloud.com
Correction In a recent article about the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club’s study of additional sustainable sources of water, it was suggested that the Ad Hoc Sustainable Water Committee could make a decision and recommendation by Nov. 5. That is not correct. The committee is chartered to make its recommendation by the end of this calendar year. Bill Weber, chair of the Ad Hoc Sustainable Water Committee, said the committee expects to meet that commitment.
‘Think Big’ The Covenant Club is proposing many features and amenities. It was recently brought to my attention that in a “spectacular community” “in a park-like oasis” in South Florida (Miami); the amenities there include an ice skating rink, bowling lanes, a Flow Rider-wave simulator, five pools, outdoor pool table(s), etc. Here I had been thinking that the Covenant Club proponents might consider adding a skate park and a zipline for our “Campus.” Has anyone suggested taking some of the adjoining properties by eminent domain? Oh yes, the FL Club Car is a Rolls Royce. I hadn’t even thought about a Covenant Club car (and driver), but I guess it could come in handy. Maybe when Mom-Dad is too busy to pick up the kids. This is getting exciting! Barack Obama’s goal was to “fundamentally transform the United States.” Ours? To fundamentally transform the RSF covenant — this very unique village? Isn’t that why we all moved here? Still my favorite horse of all time: Arewehavingfunyet. Brett Dieterich, 32-year RSF resident

ployed. If you’re still working at 65 and are covered by your employer’s health insurance, then in most cases you don’t need to sign up for Part B yet. Once you stop working, you’ll have a special enrollment period of eight months after your employment ends in which to sign up for Part B. • Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Plan C, are typically HMO (Health Management Organization) or PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) products. These insurance plans combine the benefits of Part A and B, and in most cases, include prescription drug coverage (Part D) and may include extra benefits and services for an additional cost. These plans usually require the patient to access a limited physician network for services. • Prescription drug coverage. Medicare Part A and Part B do not cover prescription drug benefits. For prescription drug coverage, you can enroll in a prescription drug coverage or Part D plan. • Supplemental insurance (Medigap Plans): This coverage is an alternative to Medicare Advantage plans and allows individuals to customize their health plan coverage. These plans help fill “the gap” by partially or fully covering expenses that would normally be payable by the patient under original Medicare. Supplemental plans are only available to purchase for people who are enrolled in original Medicare. People with a Medicare Advantage plan cannot buy Medicare supplemental insurance. Once you have evaluated your choices, choose the Medicare plan that is the best fit for you and complete the enrollment process. You may be able to sign up in person with a broker, through the mail, over the phone or online. Already enrolled but thinking of switching plans? If you’re enrolled already, you’ll need to decide whether or not you want to change your coverage before the Dec. 7 deadline. Review your existing health and drug benefits, and pay attention to any changes announced for the coming year. Your insurance provider will send information to let you know what, if any, changes will be made to your Medicare coverage in 2016. Review these carefully to ensure the providers, services and medications you need are covered and at what cost. Check your premiums, coinsurance, co-payments, deductible and out-of-pocket limits, and ask yourself whether another plan would better suit your needs in 2016. If you have employer or union coverage, check with your plan’s benefits administrator before making any changSee MEDICARE, page 21

serve more in an investor role than in an operator role. But, as the recession hit, the team he had joined could no longer stay, so Perry stepped up his involvement. It was a challenge at first, running the restaurant while living outside of the country in Mexico. After having a fourth child six years ago, the family moved to Rancho Santa Fe and became fully entrenched in the community. The restaurant was a frequent host for school and charity fundraising events, and Perry got to know a lot of his neighbors and customers. “We’ve really enjoyed the experience, but the restaurant business is the type of business that takes a certain amount of effort to please the people that come in,” Perry said. “I’ve always taken that very seriously, and if I can’t give 110 percent I’d rather not do it.” Over the years, Perry said, he saw the community change. As there are fewer stores and more real estate offices and banks, Delicias had to shift to stop offering lunch. Perry said that he, as much as anyone in Rancho Santa Fe, would like to see the village revitalized. “I hope someone takes over the space,” he said. “I would love to see a new restaurant too.”

88 condos, collectively, their owners receive only 19 votes, even though they pay full assessments to the Association, as do the owners of single-family residences. The proposed rules would give condo owners individual voting rights. In addition, single, divorced or widowed property owners, who receive only one Association vote, would get two votes, the same number accorded to properties with two or more owners. Finally, some of the voting rules would be simplified. For example, the rules call for members to fill out a lengthy registration form and obtain notarized signatures in order to be able to vote. The proposed changes would do away with the registration requirement, and all property owners would automatically be eligible to vote. Wasserman said that would bring the Association’s rules in line with other local HOAs, such as Fairbanks Ranch, which does not have a similar registration requirement. The Association’s registration requirement, said Wasserman at the town hall meeting, is “probably overkill.” One rule that won’t change under the proposal, committee members said, is that members who own multiple properties within the Covenant will continue to receive a maximum of two votes, the same as those who own a single property. Committee members said they were directed by the Association board not to propose changing that rule because they did not believe it would be accepted by the membership. On hand at the town hall meeting, along with Wasserman, were committee members David Moon, John Blakely and Kris Charton. Committee members Allen Finkelson and Mike Licosati did not attend. Some of the proposed changes are intended to bring the Association in line with current state law, such as the Davis-Stirling Act and the California Corporations Code, which regulate homeowners associations in the state. The committee has spent an estimated 200 hours working on the proposal, including monthly meetings, and plans to meet at

least three to four times more before the issue is decided, Wasserman said. Members can submit comments in written form by dropping them off or mailing them to the Association office, or by fax, email or through the Association’s website, www.rsfassociation.org. (The online comment form is expected to be available by early November.) Among the questions from attendees at the meeting was whether the committee will obtain a written legal opinion on whether the proposed rules conform with state law, and how the Association will prevent the owners of multiple properties from obtaining more than two votes. On the latter issue, committee members said they don’t think that will be a major problem, but that such evasion is also possible under the current voting rules. “If somebody wants to cheat, I’m not sure there’s a way to prevent it,” said committee member Charton. In 2005, a committee made similar proposals to change the Association’s voting rules, but those changes were not enacted. This time around, the Association is allowing members to review the proposal for 45 days before it is considered further, which Wasserman said has not been done in the past. The purpose, he said, is to allow as many members as possible to provide comments and suggestions. Once all the comments have been received, the final recommendation will be posted on the Association’s website around mid-December, and presented to the board on Jan. 7. Ballots will then be mailed to Association members, and counted at an open board meeting. If approved, the new rules would take effect on July 1, 2016. Pending elections, such as the planned ballot on the Covenant Club, a proposed pool and fitness center, would be governed by the existing rules. Wasserman said the Association’s bylaws were originally adopted in 1927, and have been amended 35 times, most recently in 2014.

Art San Diego in seventh year connecting collectors, enthusiasts BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diego may have a growing art scene, but there’s only one time each year where art collectors and enthusiasts can enjoy work from more than 500 artists at one place, along with art labs, museum exhibitions and other events. Back for its seventh year, Art San Diego is expected to attract more than 15,000 people Nov. 5-8 at Balboa Park. “It’s the only kind of show like this in San Diego,” said Del Mar resident, Ann Berchtold, the show’s founder and director. “It’s become this once-a-year opportunity to find really great art in San Diego.” Art San Diego got its start in 2009. “Black Pine” studio carving by David Bardwick and Before establishing the event, Berchtold managed L Street, a David Alan Collection.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Del Mar’s All Creatures Hospital to unveil updated look at Nov. 15 open house • Community invited to open house from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. BY KRISTINA HOUCK All Creatures Hospital has cared for the community’s animals for more than three decades. Now that the Del Marbased clinic has been completely remodeled, the hospital can continue to provide the best quality veterinary care for many years to come. “We finally have the facilities to match our level of practice,” said Dr. Michael Mulvany. All Creatures Hospital opened in 1983. Although the hospital has been refreshed over the years, this was the first time it was completely revamped. The modernization project launched last November and was completed in August. In that time, the two-story, nearly 5,000-square-foot building was completely updated, from the Top: Registered veterinary ceilings to the floors. Everything is new, from the building’s technician Brittany Garcia electrical and plumbing to the hospital’s equipment. “We turned it into a new building,” Mulvany said. “We with Bella. Right: Newly fixed it up so it’s a stronger building that will hopefully last modernized All Creatures Hospital has been open another 25 or 30 years.” Although the building is the same size, hospital staff can since 1983. Courtesy photos now more effectively use the space. The building was originally designed as a small animal and equine hospital. Now, it’s fit for the dogs, cats and pocket pets All Creatures Hospital serves. “We’ve never been able to fully utilize the footprint of the hospital like we do now,” said Mulvany, noting that the hospital gained about 2,000 square feet in usable space after the building was updated. “There was a lot of wasted space.” With an emphasis on preventive medicine, All Creatures Hospital offers annual wellness exams, puppy and kitten health care packages, immunizations, senior pet programs and microchips. The first floor of the hospital now features an updated waiting room, treatment room, pharmacy and four exam rooms, which is one more than the hospital previously had. The hospital also offers dental and surgical suites for in-hospital procedures, and now that the remodel is complete, ample space for new boarding services. Offices are on the second floor. Open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, including weekends and holidays, All Creatures Hospital offers 24-hour hospitalization. Six veterinarians and about two dozen staff members work at the hospital. “We see a lot of great dogs and cats,” said Mulvany, who has a yellow Labrador named
Finn. “They’re all individuals.” All Creatures Hospital is a family-owned and operated business. Mulvany joined the hospital in 1984, one year after it opened. A Carmel Valley resident, he graduated from veterinary school in 1983. After a one-year medical and surgical internship at a 17-doctor hospital in Santa Cruz, he started with All Creatures Hospital and became the sole owner in 1997. His wife and son both work at the hospital. “It’s an enjoyable profession,” Mulvany said. “I’ve been doing it for a long time, and I’m glad I still enjoy it.” To unveil the new look, All Creatures Hospital is hosting an open house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 15. There will be tours, raffle prizes and refreshments. “Now we have something we can show off,” Mulvany said. “Anybody who wants to come is welcome.” All Creatures Hospital is at 3665 Via de la Valle in Del Mar.

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Rancho Santa Fe collecting donations for Rancho Coastal Humane Society Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Rancho Santa Fe office is now collecting “wish list” items for the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS), a nonprofit, charitable animal welfare organization located in Encinitas, Calif. Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Rancho Santa Fe office first became involved with RCHS through the 2015 national Coldwell Banker Adopt-A-Pet initiative. Independent sales associates at the Rancho Santa Fe office are also volunteers at the shelter. “We realize that not everyone is able to adopt a homeless pet but many people would like to help the shelter in some way,” said Steve Salinas, branch manager. “With that in mind we are reaching out to our community and inviting them to make their contributions to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society at our office. We will have a collection bin at the front desk.” RCHS was founded in 1960 by a group of volunteers led by Maria K. Lloyd with the goal to care for the homeless animal population of San Diego County and educate the public about pet over-population and responsible companion animal care. RCHS is a professionally managed humane society that provides quality shelter care, adoption services, education programs and an animal safehouse program for the survivors of domestic violence. The public can support RCHS by making a donation in person at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Rancho Santa Fe office located at 6015 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. Donations will be accepted from Oct. 20 to Dec. 4 during regular business hours. To see RCHS’s wish list, visit rchumanesociety.org/?page_id=129. To learn more about RCHS, visit rchumanesociety.org.

Local designer’s Keep the Peace Bedding helps couples rest easier BY KAREN BILLING Local interior designer Renae Farley has created a new product that helps couples sleep better together and stop fighting over the blanket. Understanding that not many pairs sleep at the same temperature, she created Keep the Peace Bedding, which uses a unique zipper to split comforters that individualize warmth for a better night’s rest. A San Diego native, Farley has lived and worked in North County for 30 years and launched Keep the Peace six weeks ago after years of enjoying her own customizable comforter with her husband. “It’s just been great; everybody’s just loved it,” Farley said. “It’s been fun to finally get it out there and see what people think about it.” Farley has been interested in design since she was 12 years old. Her father built the family’s house, and she helped her mother decorate and make it a home. A certified interior designer, she has her BFA in interior design from the Design Institute of San Diego and has spent the past 30 years doing high-end residential design, mainly with clients in Rancho Santa Fe. The idea for Keep the Peace started after she was married seven years ago and experienced the struggle many couples face at night. “I had always slept under a down comforter because I’m always freezing, and all my husband needed was a sheet or light blanket,” Farley said. When he would be “roasting” under the comforter, he would throw it off and onto Farley. Then she would be too warm because she had double the comforter on top of her. Lots of tossing and turning ensued. “For four months, neither one of us was sleeping,” Farley said. Since she had always done custom bedding for her interior design clients, she cut her comforter in half and connected a down comforter and a lightweight cotton blanket with a zipper. The marriage-saving solution seemed to be the greatest invention ever. Farley’s husband looked into getting a patent for the bed covering, but it was not patentable. So they just used it themselves, with him all the while pushing her to get it on the market. Over the past year, Farley decided to go for it and set off on a long process of finding just the right products and materials to bring Keep the Peace to a larger market. The bedding comes in full, queen, Eastern king and California king sizes, and in four different products: cotton, bamboo, down and synthetic down, because Farley realized many people are allergic to down. The zipper makes it possible to fold back or completely remove one side of the comforter without affecting the person on the other side. “I created Keep the Peace bedding as a blank canvas,” Farley said. “It’s designed to be used under a decorative coverlet or quilt so couples can still make their sleeping haven their own.”
Left, local interior designer Renae Farley created Keep the Peace Bedding. Above: An example of a custom quilt, structured with two different styles. Courtesy photos Two years ago, Farley battled breast cancer and dealt with medications that brought on complications such as night sweats. The zippered bedding came in handy for dealing with her temperature changes. She realized that was a whole other market to be reached by Keep the Peace bedding, as many people experience sleep-related discomforts associated with life states such as menopause and aging, and health issues such as allergies, pregnancy, and cancer. “Our health is everything to us, and sleeping is one of the most important aspects about our health,” Farley said. For October, she contributed a portion of her sales toward breast cancer. Moving forward, Farley said she would love to see her product used in the hotel industry so couples can continue to have a good night’s sleep while traveling. Besides design, Farley has many other passions and keeps very busy. She is an advocate for the breast cancer cause and she has also become an advocate for early-onset Alzheimer’s, the disease that took the life of her dear friend and sister, Diane, after she was diagnosed at 49. One in 8 women will get breast cancer, she said, but 1 in 6 will get early-onset Alzheimer’s. Farley has done speaking engagements on the subject and wrote a book in her sister’s memory called “All We Need Is a Happy Ending.” Visit Keepthepeacebedding.com.

A Brief Guide to Starting Your Building Project San Diego Home Theater Experts, Modern When starting a building project, choices are always site-specific. Some projects are simple, while others are complex. There are custom homes, remodels, and historic renovations. Some jobs are created out of necessity, while others are long-anticipated dreams. There are many styles to consider and a multitude of materials and finishes to choose from. Your home is undoubtedly your largest asset, so when starting, it’s important to identify and articulate your vision to help define the choices that will lead to the
results you want. Visions are as diverse as people, yet a systematic process will unify a project of any scope, scale or style. Here’s a helpful guide to follow when embarking on a building project: The Contract. When working with any professional in the trade, a well-considered contract will identify problems early and prevent unforeseen issues. A contract should include: • Terms – Language that clarifies the terms, conditions, cost and payment schedules. • Specifications – Language that specifies the materials, costs and delivery dates. • Compliance – Language that includes disclosures, legal and insurance criteria. The Plans. The design and building plans are visual instructions to inform and direct the builder. Plans are drawn by architects, designers, engineers and “design-build” firms. A plan set includes: • Site Plan – Shows the property
setbacks and topography contours. • Foundation Plan – Shows the underpinning structure of the home or building. • Floor Plan – Shows the layout of the rooms, doors, windows, fixtures, cabinets and built-ins. • Framing Plan – Shows the structural features to include, such as walls, joists, trusses and beams. • Roof Plan – Is a top view of the entire roof system, including ridges, hips, valleys, rakes and eaves. • Mechanical Plan – Locates the electrical, plumbing and HVAC details. • Plan Elevations – Is a flat, straight-on view of the front, side and rear exteriors of the house. • Cross-sections – Show the hidden details of the house bisecting through walls, floors, ceilings and roof. • Details – Highlights specific details of construction to show how to construct the structure. • Schedule – The key on all drawings
to specify and locate all doors, windows, fixtures and hardware. Once your plans are submitted, approved, and on file with the building department, coastal commission and/or your Home Owners Association, a set of plans is made for both you and your builder of choice. Bids and Proposals. With your direction established, the bid process is up next. If you choose to work with a general contractor (and it is typical to employ a GC when building a home), the common rule of thumb is to secure three bids. A general contractor does charge a fee to manage the building process for you. As a general contractor, our bids include: • Interview – Telephonic and on-site interviews with tours of previous work completed.

The David Alan Collection, which is based in Solana Beach, will also be at the art fair. Located in the heart of Cedros Design District, the 15,000-square-foot store features furniture and woodcarvings. “We are excited to be presenting over 50 pieces in our two booths, ranging from our ‘Lindu and Friends’ selection of life-affirming painting, to several pieces of our exquisite contemporary art furniture,” said owner David Bardwick, who opened the shop in 2003. “I want people to leave this show inspired, both about life itself and about art and the possibility of having beautiful objects surrounding them in their everyday lives,” he added. With this year’s theme of “Metamorphosis,” Art San Diego aims to honor the artistic history of San Diego’s past and present while looking toward the future. In addition to exhibitors, the art fair will feature art labs and special exhibitions, including The Timeline Project, a wall installation 120 feet long and 8 feet high, built by San Diegobased ECOR Noble Environmental Technologies, with the graphic design by students from the Media Design School of Digital Arts at NewSchool of Architecture and Design in San Diego. “It’s been a very interesting journey,” Berchtold said. “It’s gotten very large and I think it’s become an anticipated local event. There’s so much to see.” Art San Diego will take place Nov. 5-8 in the 60,000-square-foot Balboa Park Activity Center. General admission costs $25 online and $30 at the door for a three-day pass, or $20 online and $25 at the door for a one-day pass.

FACE animal charity hosts golf tourney Nov. 2 The Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) will host its fourth annual golf tournament on Monday, Nov. 2, to benefit local pets in need of emergency care and assistance. This dog-friendly event will be held at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club and will allow golfers to bring their canine friends to the course. Players will also be joined by special VIP guests and MLB legend Fred Lynn and PGA Major Tour winner Corey Pavin, who have supported the foundation since its inception in 2006. This year’s tournament will honor San Diego’s service men, women, and dogs. FACE was established to combat a terrible, but increasingly common occurrence called “economic euthanasia” — when loving pet owners are forced to euthanize sick or injured pets because they cannot afford the medical care for expensive but treatable conditions. FACE is an organization that strives to save lives, reduce economic euthanasia, and increase the wellness of San Diego’s beloved pets every day. To date, FACE has saved the lives of nearly 1,300 pets in the San Diego community. All proceeds from the Golf Tournament will help sick or injured pets and their families during a time of need. Service men and women are also often faced with unaffordable veterinary emergencies. Luckily, FACE has been there to aid more than 100 military families and veterans to provide necessary assistance. “I am speechless,” said a FACE recipient. “Words cannot express how appreciative we are for the help. I am a Marine Corps combat veteran; I do not know what I would have done without FACE Foundation.” This year’s Invitational Golf Tournament will be joined by a veteran grantee and his dog, Myles.
