William “Bill” Overton Jr.
Bill Overton begins work as new RSF Association manager BY JOE TASH William “Bill” Overton Jr., who has more than 25 years of experience in community management, community development and operations management, took over as manager of the Rancho Santa Fe Association on Jan. 28. Overton comes to Rancho Santa Fe from Scottsdale, Ariz., where he served as community manager for the Desert Mountain Master and Village Associations, a position he held for 12 1/2 years. “They’re both very big, very beautiful and very upscale communities,” said Overton, 57, said of Desert Mountain and Rancho Santa Fe, in an interview in his office the day after he started his new job. Desert Mountain, according to its website, is planned for about 2,400 homes, with some 1,700 homes completed, and nearly 200 more homes either under construction or in design review. The community covers some 8,000 acres. The Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, by contrast, has 1,900 homes and spans 6,730 acres. Overton succeeds former RSF Association Manager Pete Smith, who retired last year after 23 years with the organization, 18 as manager. Since Smith’s departure, assisSee MANAGER, page 24

Financial experts upbeat at Bridges Club event on U.S., San Diego economies BY JOE TASH Two well-known San Diego financial experts gave a sunny, upbeat economic prognosis for 2015 at a meeting of real estate professionals held Jan. 27 at the Bridges Club. The U.S. economy is a “bright shining light” for the world, although other regions of the globe — such as Europe and Asia — are experiencing economic difficulties, said Lynn Reaser,
chief economist of Point Loma Nazarene University’s Fermanian Economic & Business Institute. “It looks like the U.S. is doing pretty well and we can withstand the sea of turbulence outside our shores,” said Reaser, who spoke before an audience of about 50 at the breakfast meeting. The other speaker was George Chamberlin, the “Money Advisor” for NBC 7/39. Chamberlin
is also the business editor for KOGO Radio and host of “Money in the Morning.” Chamberlin said the stock market’s Dow Jones Average, which is one of the best indicators of economic health, has been up for six years in a row, one of the longest sustained increases in recent memory. Consumer confidence is also at its highest level in more than seven years, he said. See ECONOMIES, page 25

RSF Association Board Biz: The new Chief has arrived! BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD After months of conducting a national search and planning for transition, the RSF Association board officially welcomed Bill Overton, our new Association manager, into his position on Jan. 28. Already Bill has spent hours with the board and staff learning about the Covenant and our members. Bill’s energy and enthusiasm are propelling him quickly up the learning curve. We are all very impressed with his appreciation of the history of Rancho Santa Fe and the particular needs and goals of our members. Bill’s focus on team building and open communications has had a positive impact on staff and board members since the first day he walked into the office. Transitions can be difficult, but we are all sensing a rekindling of community spirit and a desire in all parts to work together. Someone said to me yesterday: “Bill is a breath of fresh air.” Over the next few weeks, you will be hearing from Bill directly as he describes his vision for our community. Be sure to look
Ann Boon for his letter in the mail and other communications via email. If we do not have your email address, please send it to daria@rsfassociation.org so you don’t miss out on any Association news. Many members have already asked about the new manager’s compensation. This is public information and details of the highest paid employees’ compensation will be available in 990 filings. Nevertheless, you are entitled to know our manager’s compensation now. I hope that some insight into how the board arrived at the compensation package will help you to put the manager’s salary and benefits into the proper context. In our search and interview process, we board members were looking for the most qualified and experienced candidate we could possibly find. We hired a firm to help us look nationally for
individuals with management experience in either HOAs or city governments. This search helped us to define an appropriate salary range for qualified candidates. As we determined the salary for our new manager, naturally the board wanted to find a salary amount that would reflect his experience and abilities. And just as important, the board wanted to be very sensitive to the community’s perceptions regarding the appropriate use of Association resources. Ultimately, we structured a package that we believe is fair to our manager and to the community. We established a package that provides strong incentives for performance. The manager’s employment is “at-will,” that is, there is no contract for a specific amount of time. The base salary is $215,000. The manager is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to a maximum of 15 percent, if he meets specific performance criteria as defined by the Association’s Board of Directors. Any bonus would be paid at the board’s sole and absolute discretion. Other benefits are those that are available to other members of the Association senior management team, such as vaca-
tion, health insurance and participation in the 401(k) plan. Bill knows that the board’s list of goals includes two very important ones. First: to operate the Association with sound business practices. In this fiscal year we have initiated or completed improvements and savings in payroll, liability insurance, health insurance, banking, accounting and financial reporting. Bill is committed to seeing all these initiatives through to completion. Second: to modernize the community infrastructure. Bill is as dedicated as all of us on the board are to maintaining the momentum we have gathered in the areas of
wireless and broadband. This “breath of fresh air” will need the strength of a tornado. We believe Bill has got the right stuff. All members of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant will have an opportunity to meet Bill and to hear about his goals and priorities from 5-7 p.m. Feb. 18. The event will be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. Look for details in the mail and in this newspaper. One final reminder: The Nominating Committee for candidates for the board has met and has already received the names of several volunteers. The committee has decided that we will not be eliminating any qualified candidates this year. All who are interested are welcome
to run. Nevertheless, we would like to meet with each candidate, as is customary, so that we can explain the process of the campaign and the job of serving as a board member. We would like to schedule those interviews during the first week of March, so if you are interested, please send in your name. You can simply call the Association office to get on our list: 858756-1174. And remember: Wednesday, Feb. 18, come to the RSF Golf Club to meet Manager Bill Overton and welcome him to our community. Send me your comments at ann.boon@me. com.

Writer’s Roundtable: RSF sports agent offers a different way to win in ‘Connected to Goodness’ BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Sports agent is a title that conjures up a winner-take-all attitude, and aggressiveness. But while Rancho Santa Fe resident and legendary sports agent David Meltzer, Esq., may have personified that in his early days, he shares an entirely different philosophy of success in his book, “Connected to Goodness: Manifest Everything You Desire in Business and Life,â€? a practical road map to defining, achieving, and maintaining success in life. Whether you are a student, parent, educator, athlete, or executive, you will find something of value in what Meltzer has to say. David Meltzer will be speaking at 3 p.m. Feb. 28 at Barnes & Noble in Grossmont Center. You are a legendary sports agent. What got you interested in this field? How easy or difficult was it to break into? I love sports and always dreamed of being a professional athlete, but being 5 feet 7 inches, Jewish, and born with more brains than brawn, I had a choice. With my amazing size and talent, if I wanted to be a sports professional, I either could be the commissioner of the NBA or a sports agent. As for the difficulty in breaking into the field, I don’t see things in terms of easy or difficult. Sports is a multibillion-dollar industry with tens of thousands of jobs. So there is no scarcity of opportunity. What I find is that there is a lack of resolve. That is the biggest hurdle for most people to overcome. At Sports 1 Marketing, you employ a host of interns. Why? And what do you see as the benefits of internships? My personal mission is to empower others to then further empower others, and the best way to do this is to take in young people and provide them with first-hand experience and knowledge in order for them to be successful. I am providing them with relationship capital in a very competitive industry and the situational knowledge on how to monetize those relationships. And when they do, I prove the most important reason to have so many interns is to be kind to your future self. They’ll branch out, be successful and empower others, and those that leave here will often approach me with business deals or vice versa. David Meltzer We tend to label many sports figures as “heroes.â€? How accurate or inaccurate is that and why? Within the realm of sports, all of these individuals are “heroesâ€? in the sense that it is so ultracompetitive and difficult to become a professional athlete. Labeling them as “heroesâ€? based on our foundational values like character, integrity, and giving is the mistake people commonly make. Personally and professionally, I look for those Hall of Famers, those winners of Major League Baseball’s Clemente Award, and the like ‌ those individuals who possess the athletic ability and character to truly be looked up to as “heroes.â€?

Your book is titled “Connected to Goodness.â€? What do you mean by goodness, and what role should it play in our lives? Goodness is a simple way of describing whatever it is that inspires us ‌ be it God, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad or whatever it is that you believe in. I use the concept of a personal “12th Man,â€? just as a football team with its 11 men on the field is inspired by the crowd or “12th Man.â€? What I try to avoid is to separating us by our beliefs. Instead, I attempt to bring us together by what we believe is good or decent. It should be our common guidepost to be good, kind, and decent. In what ways do you manifest goodness in your life? And how has doing so enhanced your life? Manifesting goodness takes a severalpronged approach. First we decide what it is we want; then we assess our goals in terms of contributions we can make to others and to society in general. After all, what good is achievement without greater purpose? In a practical sense, I follow the Principles and their supporting Key Elements from my book. I consciously think about what I want or want to achieve, and it becomes a possibility. Then I use my Imagination Principles — Foundation, David Meltzer has written ‘Connected Guideposts and Manifestation — to get into Goodness: Manifest Everything You spired, and the possibility becomes a probabiliDesire in Business and Life,’ a practical ty. Using the Action Principles of Discipline, road map to success. Strategy and Understanding, I’ll now take action to make the probability reality. In today’s electronically-oriented society, what are your two best tips for communicating with our kids? And for making them aware of goodness? We need to teach them accountability and effective communication ‌ which does not See AGENT, page 17

Local company’s drone flight a Hollywood first BY JARED WHITLOCK When Aerial Mob’s drone took to the sky last month, the local company made television history. Aerial Mob flew a drone legally Dec. 15 for first time on the set of a Motion Picture Association of America production, marking a new era for filmmakers. Treggon Owens, an Encinitas resident and the CEO of Aerial Mob, said “there was tons of pressure” to deliver great shots given that Hollywood has been fighting to allow drones on U.S. shoots for years. Movie and TV studios favor drones for aerial footage because they’re less expensive and safer than helicopters. Not to mention, they’re nimble, letting filmmakers pull off tricky shots. Aerial Mob, for instance, captured a close-up from the ground and then an aerial view of a forest in one sweeping take. Look for the footage to air Feb. 18 in the season finale of the TV show “The Mentalist.” “It started out low and we got an intimate facial shot of policemen,” Owens said. “And then it swooped up about a half-block away to the bad guys getting away. We wanted to show in context how close the good guys and bad guys are in proximity to each other in a single shot.” Owens added the forest was too dense to get such a shot via a helicopter. Drones aren’t necessarily new for Hollywood. The technology captured a chase scene in the James Bond movie “Skyfall,” for instance. However, those productions had to
go outside the country to get that footage. “It was, quite literally, the first time many of them had seen this technology used on set,” Owens said of “The Mentalist” shoot. “Our goal was for them to walk away wanting to use this technology again.” For years, the FAA (Federal Aviation Agency) prohibited commercial drones. That is, until last September, when the FAA granted exemptions for six filmmaking companies, Aerial Mob included, to use drones on shoots. At that time, the agency said such drone operations don’t pose a threat to airspace users or national security. “It’s the perfect test bed for the FAA to try out the legal use of drones,” Owens said. To date, 13 companies are exempt, with a real estate photography company and an agriculture business earning the latest exemptions. Obtaining the exemption demanded Aerial Mob, located in Carlsbad, stop client shoots for about two months as a show of good faith to the FAA. The setback was worth it, Owens said, because the company realized it would have to work within the FAA’s rules to succeed. “There are so many people doing it on the gray market who don’t have as many options,” he said. “At some point, you have to be legal.” Even with the waiver, Aerial Mob has to follow quite a few regulations. Notably, its drones have to fly on closed sets. The production has to have a script. And while drones are able to follow a pre-programmed See DRONE, page 24

Author to offer advice, encouragement at CCA Writers’ Conference BY LOIS ALTER MARK Horror writer Jonathan Maberry may be the busiest man in the business. Not only has the Del Mar resident written dozens of best-selling, award-winning books, short stories, articles and comics — many of which are now in development for TV shows and films — but he is also a teacher and in-demand speaker who will be giving the keynote address Feb. 21 at the Canyon Crest Academy Writers’ Conference on Feb. 21. We interviewed Maberry when he first moved to Del Mar a couple of years ago, but thought we’d catch up with him to see what the students can expect. • You’re going to be the keynote speaker at the CCA Writers’ Conference this year, which will be a real treat for the students. Why did you want to get involved in this event? It’s important for writers who have gained some measure of commercial and artistic success to share with those who are on the way up or trying to break in. No one ever succeeded without help and advice, and events like the CCA Writers’ Conference allow for that kind of sharing of tips, guidance and encouragement. • Many of the attendees will probably be fans who have gobbled up your books. What do you enjoy about writing for kids? Although I started out writing for adults, about half of what I’m currently writing is for teens, and I’m writing in several different age ranges. I find that teen fiction allows for greater creative freedom. Kids are so much smarter than most adults think. • Can you give us a little preview of your speech? I’ve been traveling around the country giving keynote speeches, and for the most part, they are variations on a very important theme: positivity and cooperation. It’s a waste of time to focus on the downsides or to be stifled by fear. I prefer to inspire and encourage writers to work together to build a mutually supportive creative community. And to learn how the business works, because although writing is an art, publishing is a business that sells art. They’re not the same thing, and writers prosper when they grasp that and learn to work with the publishing world rather than coast the fringes. I came from rough beginnings and grew up in a violent household where education and reading were discouraged. I was determined, however, to “write my way out.” I pursued education and sought guidance from those who had achieved some measure of success. I met some great folks along the way — teachers, librarians, booksellers, published authors — and it was their support and encouragement that helped me rise above my home life and become a best-selling author. • What message do you particularly want to impart to the kids? My core message is that anything is possible. No one has proof that they can’t until they’ve utterly failed, and utter failure isn’t common. Most often, people become discouraged and accept that as failure. It isn’t. I like to share strategies for celebrating and usefully exploiting the creative potential in the next generation of young writers. • What are the differences between talking to teens who want to become writers vs
Author Jonathan Maberry will speak Feb. 21 to fans and would-be writers at the CCA Writers’ Conference. Right: Cover of one of the books in ‘The Nightsiders’ series. Courtesy photos adults who want to become writers? Many of the adult writers have already begun to lose faith in their own success or in their skills. Teens don’t have that problem, and maybe some encouragement will help them jump that hurdle. They’re more open-minded, more creative, and they haven’t yet been inundated by the negativity about publishing that so often stifles adult writers. Also, there are some things they can do now, as teens, to sharpen their skills, their focus and their business acumen so that they’ll have the best chance of coming out of the gate at a full gallop. • Your first novel came out in 2006, and you’ve had 20 more since then! How do you write so prolifically? I’ve always been a high-output creative person. I like the fast lane, and I write my best stuff when I have a tight deadline. Currently I’m writing three- to four thousand words a day. This is the busiest time of my career. • What is it about horror and science fiction that attracts you? See AUTHOR, page 12

Two mice test positive for hantavirus in Fairbanks Ranch area San Diego County environmental health officials are reminding people to be careful whenever they find signs of rodents living in homes, sheds and garages after two western harvest mice tested positive for the potentially deadly hantavirus. The rodents were trapped in routine monitoring in the Fairbanks Ranch area. Officials said hantavirus is common in the county, but people have very little chance of being exposed to it as long as wild rodents remain out of people’s living spaces. Infected rodents shed hantavirus through their saliva, urine and feces. Officials said people should never try to sweep or vacuum up rodent nests or droppings in homes and work places because it could stir hantavirus into the air where it can be breathed in if rodents are infected. “The best way to protect yourself is to avoid being exposed to rodents, by keeping them out of the areas you live in and work in,� said Elizabeth Pozzebon, county director of the Department of Environmental Health. “But if you have to clean an area, be sure to use ‘wet-cleaning’ methods — ventilate areas, spray them with bleach solutions or disinfectants and use sponges and mops.� People who inhale the hantavirus can develop hantavirus pulmonary syndrome,
which starts with flu-like symptoms but can grow into severe breathing difficulties that can kill. There is no vaccine or cure for hantavirus. The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that hantavirus kills nearly 40 percent of the people who get it. Tips to avoid exposure to hantavirus: • Seal up all external holes in homes, garages and sheds larger than a dime to keep rodents from getting in. • Eliminate rodent infestations immediately. • Avoid rodent-infested areas and do not stir up dust or materials that may be contaminated with rodent droppings and urine. • Do not sweep or vacuum infested areas. Clean up rodent droppings and urine using the wet cleaning method: Use rubber gloves, pray a 10 percent bleach solution or other disinfectants onto infested areas and let the disinfectant stand for at least 15 minutes before cleaning. Clean with a sponge or a mop. Place disinfected rodents and debris into two plastic bags, seal them and discard in the trash. For more information, contact the County Department of Environmental Health (DEH) at (858) 694-2888 or visit the DEH hantavirus Web page. — Submitted press release

‘Hearts, Hats, Heels’ fundraiser to show love for former racehorses BY KELLEY CARLSON Ex-racehorses will be getting extra love this year, thanks to a Valentine’s charity fundraiser planned in Rancho Santa Fe. Proceeds from the third annual “Hearts, Hats and Heels” will benefit After the Finish Line, a Toluca Lake-based group that assists in the rehabilitation and care of former racehorses until they are adopted, saving them from slaughter and neglect. “Hearts, Hats and Heels” — which consists of a fashion show, a luncheon, and silent and live auctions — is slated from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, 5827 Via de La Cumbre. Founded in October 2007 by Dawn Mellen, who has a home in Rancho Santa Fe, After the Finish Line contributes funds to thoroughbred rescue and retirement organizations across the country. In 2014, the nonprofit spent nearly $100,000 helping about 300 horses. “After the Finish Line continues to be the founding organization rescue organizations call upon and rely upon to help their rescued ex-racehorses,” Mellen said. Through charity events, “we’re able to maintain our ability to help horses in need,” she said. Mellen noted that people in the community may have previously attended one of After the Finish Line’s fundraisers during the Del Mar race meet, but this is the first time the organization will benefit from “Hearts, Hats and Heels.” Those who attend this Valentine’s event will be treated to a day of glamour and shopping. A fashion show will feature clothing by local retailers Satori Designs, Jessie Georgina, Peaches En Regalia and Deja Vu Love Boutique. Tables will be set up for guests to buy apparel from these vendors, with items in varying price ranges. “There will be something for everyone,” Mellen said. She noted that After the Finish Line will receive 20 percent of the sales. Also, there will be silent and live auctions. Among the items up for bid are gift certificates and gift cards for restau-
Dawn Mellen is founder of After the Finish Line. A charity fundraiser is planned Feb. 12 for the group. rants, beauty and spa services, hair salons, fashion retailers and rounds of golf at local country clubs; equestrian and horse racing items; bottles of champagne (such as Dom Perignon); art; and jewelry. Lunch will also be served. The main dish is an Asian chicken salad with grilled chicken, pea pods, mandarin oranges, bean sprouts, crispy wontons and cashews; however, there will be options for vegetarians, Mellen said. The meal will wrap up with dessert.
Alyrob, right, once a successful racehorse who competed in the Kentucky Derby, is one of many who have been helped by After the Finish Line. The fundraiser’s format is free-flowing and unstructured, according to Mellen. Guests are welcome to bid on items during the fashion show, and peruse the boutique fashions at their own pace. “This is a very happy, leisurely, enjoyable type of event,” she said. Tickets are $75, available at www.afterthefinishline.org/fundraiser.htm. Mellen asks people to RSVP by Feb. 6. She noted that “Hearts, Hats and Heels” has sold out in previous years.
People who are unable to attend but still want to support After the Finish Line are welcome to donate, Mellen said. “I’m looking forward to expanding our donor base,” she said. “I look forward to meeting more people who want to support ex-racehorses, and meeting people who in the past didn’t know that we existed and want to come support us. “We’re here to save racehorses, and rehome (them) for a second career off the racetrack,” she emphasized. “Many (people) don’t realize the horses are up for adoption. “The horses are full of fire and race fast, but … they’re truly gentle, loving, wonderful companions that can be your best friends.” For information about “Hearts, Hats and Heels,” which is sponsored by FINE Magazine, or After the Finish Line, contact Dawn Mellen at dawn@afterthefinishline.org or 858945-1371.

I love how you can tell very important stories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and get large numbers of people to read them and consider the underlying metaphor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if you wrap them in a ripping yarn. Fantastical storytelling is our oldest form of writing. Even â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hamletâ&#x20AC;? is a ghost story. â&#x20AC;˘ You moved here a little over a year ago, which seems like the perfect place for you, because San Diego is the home of Comic-Con! Have you gotten to attend? I was a guest at San Diego Comic-Con last year and will be again this year. It was a blast. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the New York Comic-Con several times, and although that matches SDCC in terms of attendance, San Diego has a different feel. Much more fun, less aggressive, and spread out enough so you can catch your breath. I had a terrific time. I was hosted by IDW Comics, a San Diego-based comic company that is now the fourth largest in the world. â&#x20AC;˘ Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one best piece of advice you would give an aspiring writer? Learn everything you can about your craft; and learn everything you can about the publishing industry. Do those two things and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be way ahead of the pack. And another thing: Have fun. Even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work, have fun with it. Always.

The 47th annual San Dieguito Half Marathon will affect several Rancho Santa Fe roads on the morning of Sunday, Feb. 8, but fewer roads than in past years. The new course will mainly affect San Elijo and La Granada, but will stay off El Montevideo and Lago Lindo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less impactful to residents,â&#x20AC;? said RSF Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler. The race will affect the roads from 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on race day. The half marathon begins at San Dieguito Park, and roads will be closed from La Orilla to San Elijo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; runners turn around before El Montevideo. Participants will double back and head on an out-andback on La Granada, turning around before Avenida de Acacias and running back to the park. Residents are encouraged to use alternate routes during that time, on El Camino Del Norte, Paseo Delicias and Linea del Cielo. There will be additional traffic control volunteers at various intersections throughout the route. More information on the race can be found at kathyloperevents.com. See race route on map at right. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Karen Billing

The Detroit Underground will headline again this year and the foundation welcomes back professional auctioneer Steve Hamann for the live auction. TPHS parent and KUSI news anchor Sandra Maas will emcee the event. Resurrection Radio, a local classic alternative cover band with TPHS Assistant Principal Rob Coppo and alumnus Scott Williams will get the party started with music from The Clash, Devo, R.E.M, U2 and more.

The bank opened Jan. 12 and was still adding some finishing touches to the sleek lobby, including black and white portraits of iconic Rancho Santa Fe and San Diego scenery. An ATM is expected to be operational toward the back of the building in the coming weeks. The Rancho Santa Fe branch was one of the latest Banc of California locations to open, along with one in Santa Barbara. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to have opened these new locations in Rancho Santa Fe and Santa Barbara and expand our reach to serve clients in these communities,â&#x20AC;? said Executive Vice President Gaylin Anderson, Banc of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief retail banking officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These markets are an integral part of our plan to serve the needs of private businesses, entrepreneurs and homeowners across Southern California.â&#x20AC;?

Community service and volunteer work are important to her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked with Challenged Athletes Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, and the San Diego Food Bank, to name just a few. Smart said she is proudest that she has been named a court-appointed advocate for a 7-month-old foster child through Voices for Children. Banc of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to community and nonprofits is one of the reasons she chose to work for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a community bank and focused very much on local residents and businesses within the community,â&#x20AC;? Smart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as big as a major bank, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to get things done and provide the best service for our clients.â&#x20AC;?

mean text messaging. It means making sure that we all understand one another. We also need to teach them gratitude and empathy. Gratitude is teaching them to be thankful for what they have, and empathy is teaching them to be able to forgive themselves for the mistakes that they will make and, in doing so empowering them to forgive others. What three things can both parents and executives learn from the best coaches? Strategy, discipline, and understanding. They need to understand all of the underlying Key Elements to these Principles as spelled out in “Connected To Goodness” in order to manifest or attract everything they desire in
life to be happy. How do you define success? Quite simply, success is happiness. I look at my journey as “successive events” … there are no successes or failures. Everything will come in the right way at the perfect time, but our main mission needs to be staying focused on connecting to goodness and being happy. Who is your personal hero? Why? Despite being surrounded by Hall of Famers such as Warren Moon, Troy Aikman and Steve Young, my personal hero is my mother. She empowered me with gratitude and empathy, and no one else has believed in me or sacrificed more for me than my mom …
and she loves the San Diego U-T, so I know she’s reading this. Hi, Mom. Thank you and I love you! What do you hope readers take away from “Connected to Goodness”? I hope they come away with a pragmatic approach to look at faith and fact … a simple way to first prioritize and then manifest or attract everything they desire or want in life accurately and rapidly. I hope they’ll be able to turn possibilities into probabilities and then make this their perspective or realities.

Ask the 2015
Current Incentives This is the second in a series of five articles focused on the benefits of installing solar photovoltaics on your home in 2015. In this piece, Will Hobbs, owner of Native Electrical Construction, Inc., provides expert insights on the importance of project timing and current incentives, specifically how they relate to this year. Be sure to check back for next week’s feature on financing, purchasing and leasing options for your solar project. The time of sizeable rebates for equipping your home with solar photovoltaics may be coming to an end. Customers with solar capabilities are now paid retail rates for the power they deliver back to the grid. This structure is set to expire once the quota of nameplate generation capacity for each of California’s three investor-owned utilities is met, or in mid-2017. WHICHEVER COMES FIRST, IT’S OBVIOUS THAT THE TIME TO GO SOLAR IS NOW! “There is a general consensus amongst those in the industry that the utilities could very well meet their quotas by the end of 2015,” said Will Hobbs, president of Native Electrical Construction, Inc., in Ramona. Hobbs has directed photovoltaic (PV) projects since founding his company in 2005.
is currently being written and proposed that will influence economical decisions associated with supporting renewable energies. California State Assembly Bill 327, for example, addresses current legislation associated with renewable energies. “I strongly urge those considering renewable energies, such as solar, to review Assembly Bill 327,” Hobbs said. There are many current rebates and incentives currently being offered (see charts included within this article). Program eligibility depends on a multitude of factors, including your meter’s classification within San Diego Gas & Electric. The location of your property, the type of property you own and personal tax information are other dynamics that can determine which programs are specifically available to you. Check in with SDG&E to find out more information. Another resource to consider when making your solar decision is the The California Solar Initiative website (www.gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov).
His experience spans the planning and execution of complex water, waste water treatment and cogeneration plants projects. Throughout his career, he has seen the industry take off.
Are you considering an electric vehicle or energy efficiency upgrades for appliances, lighting and or equipment at your property? Be aware that there are current rebates, incentives and credits for these installations, as well.
A movement has formed, he says, based on society’s commitment to future generations and a growing awareness about the negative impact of too many fossil fuels.
Hobbs has a simple message for those on the fence about installing solar: Do your homework.
“To be on the forefront of this movement is both exciting and invigorating,” he said. “Solar is definitely not a trend and is here to stay.
“Take a little time to research the incentives and programs associated with the renewable energy or energy efficient upgrade project you are considering,” he said. “It could result in a much greater return on investment.”
“Both state and federal initiatives have mandated the acceptance of this relatively new industry, and as a direct result have propelled the growth into possibly being the main focus of this generation and many generations to come.”
Established in 2005, Native Electrical Construction Inc. is a full service, family-owned and operated electrical contracting firm with a staff properly trained in the electrical and renewable energy industries.
Hobbs said that many federal and state incentives that were initially offered have now been exhausted. Additionally, many current state and federal incentives are nearing the end of their course. Legislation

Letters to the editor/Opinion
Education Matters/Opinion
Re bond payment extension: high school district should not change its current policy
Questioning legality of San Dieguito Union High School District boundary group meetings
The San Dieguito Union High School District administration is asking for approval from its board to extend the current payment period of 25 years to 30 years on Coupon Interest Bearing Bonds. If a majority of the board votes “Yes,” it will cost at least another $12 million in interest charges and could be as high as $20 million on the $100 million they are about to place. Additionally, once the change to the policy is approved, it is possible another $40 million in interest charges on the almost $200 million drawn that still remains to be issued from the AA bond could happen. Interest we could find ourselves making payments on past 2050. Twenty years ago, La Costa Canyon High School was opened. Over $15 million of the AA bond is being used to update this fairly new facility. Twenty-five years from now it is likely all the schools in our district will need upgrades again. If the board approves this change, millions that could have been available for those upgrades, will instead be needed to pay interest. Interest that could have been avoided if the district kept to its current policy. Please tell the board to stick to the policy they already have and to stick to the recommendation that came from our own Tax Collector, Dan McAllister, about not have any bond maturities beyond 25 years. Please join me in asking the San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees to vote down increasing the number of years to pay its bonds to ensure we leave some money for future generations to spend versus paying interest on the obligations we created today.

OBITUARIES
Dr. Jack William Wheaton 1932 – 2015 Dr. Jack William Wheaton, following a long illness, passed away Sunday, January 25, 2015. He was 82. He is survived by his wife, Jeannie; two sons; and six grandchildren; as well as the countless number in his “family” of fellow musicians who came to know and love Jack during his distinguished career in music. Among those musicians came these remarks: “It’s very sad to lose such a great musician, inspiratory and friend. I hope we never lose sight of his vision and direction”; “Jack was a good friend to the many musicians of San Diego. I learned a great
deal about the structure of big band arranging from him.”; “His enthusiasm for music and arranging sparked my interest in trying to arrange music for both the big band and the concert band”; “The music in San Diego is a bit sadder now.” The achievements Jack was most proud of included: recording ten CDs; authoring fifteen books; Past President of IAJE (International Association for Jazz Education) 4 yrs.; past President of The Musicians Association of San Diego County, Local 325, AFM, 6 yrs.; awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Jazz Educators of California; an Emmy® for the Stan Kenton Collegiate Neophonic ABC Special, “Neophonic Spring” recently conducting the Stan Kenton Collegiate Neophonic for the LA Jazz Institute; training 84 pianists for the Gershwin® segment of the 1984 Olympics; and his film scores for House on the Sand (1962), Cat in the Cage (1978), Guns & Fury (1981) and Penitentiary 2 (1982). On the local level he headed up the 17 piece Rancho Santa Fe Big Band Swing Orchestra, now in
its 12th year, and he also performed at a variety of social events and venues in San Diego County. We will miss him on and off stage, in and around the Ranch, and especially his fantastic sense of humor, and stories about the bands and band leaders of the 20th Century’s Great American Song Book. Jack would be the first to tell us to “keep the music playing.” Jack was an elder in the Presbyterian Church and an avid researcher and bible teacher. His memorial service will be held on Sunday, February 15, 2015, at 2:00 PM at the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church, 120 Stevens Avenue, Solana Beach, with a celebration of his life immediately following in the church hall. His friends will be performing a jazz session in his honor, and all who have shared the stage with him are welcome to bring their instruments. In lieu of flowers, send any contributions to Helen Woodward Animal Center, PO Box 54, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ ranchosantafereview.

BY MARSHA SUTTON T h e fourth meeting of San Dieguito Union High Marsha Sutton School District’s “study group,” created to consider changes in high school boundaries, will meet Feb. 17. This meeting, as with the previous three, will be closed to the public. Illegally closed, I believe. All these meetings should have been open to the public, under California’s open meetings laws. So agrees Terry Francke, founder and general counsel for Californians Aware. CalAware (www.calaware.org) is a nonprofit, open government advocacy organization founded to help citizens and journalists understand their rights regarding the First Amendment, California’s open meeting Ralph M. Brown Act, and other laws ensuring transparency in government. “If the task force was created by the school board, then it must meet openly and with notice to the public,” Francke said in an email Jan. 26. Calling it a task force or a study group, or any other name for that matter, makes no difference. What matters is that the school board, composed of elected officials, authorized the creation of this committee. Although trustees did not take a formal vote, the board nonetheless clearly gave the go-ahead to staff to create the study group. According to the minutes from the June 19, 2014 meeting, “The board asked staff to form an ad hoc task force that would make a recommendation to the board” on the question of the district’s boundary policies. Whether a formal vote was taken or general assent was given, matters not. According to the law, the Brown Act applies to legislative bodies of local agencies and their subsidiaries, including boards, commissions, councils, committees, “or other bodies of a local agency that are created by charter, ordinance, resolution, or ‘normal action’ of a legislative body.” “This applies regardless of ‘temporary v. permanent’
and ‘advisory v. decisionmaking.’” Francke offered further evidence that the district is in violation of the law regarding open meetings. In the 1993 California Frazer v. Dixon Unified School District case, which refers to section 54952 of the California education code, the issue was whether “the board ‘created’ the advisory committee by some type of ‘formal action.’” The prevailing legal opinion states that boards may create advisory committees (call them what you will) “to assist with ‘examination of facts and data,’ and that the mechanisms by which such advisory bodies are created will be equally varied. We must give that section a broad construction to prevent evasion.” [ italics mine] The opinion further states that “adoption of a formal, written policy calling for appointment of a committee to advise the superintendent and, in turn, the board (with whom rests the final decision) … is sufficiently similar to the types of ‘formal action’ listed in section 54952.3.” The legal conclusion that applies in this case is that advisory committees are covered under the Brown Act, and to exclude the public from the meetings is in violation of Ed Code. Reluctant to speak openly Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent for educational services, said the study group is only making recommendations to the school board after reviewing and exploring all possible courses of action, and he justified the closed meetings because “no decisions are being made.” But, as stated before, advisory groups are to be regarded the same as decisionmaking. After my challenge, Grove consulted with lawyers who, not surprisingly, supported the district’s position that it has the right to keep the study group’s meetings closed. I’ve asked the district numerous times over the past week to provide written legal justification for this opinion, but have not received any as of press time. Grove said that opening up the meetings would inhibit the free flow of infor-
mation and members would be reluctant to speak openly. “It would be difficult to have productive, honest conversations,” he said, and would bring a different dynamic with the press and public present. “It’s difficult to be productive when the press is there,” he added. To which I say, “Tough.” Transparency in government and open meetings are just so darned annoying and inconvenient. Opening the meetings may make group members uncomfortable, but that’s no excuse for breaking the law. As the law states, “The Brown Act embodies the philosophy that public agencies exist for the purpose of conducting public business, and the public has the right to know how its ‘collaborative decisions’ are being made.” Closing these meetings violates California’s Brown Act which guarantees the public’s right to attend and participate in public meetings. Grove noted that the initial meetings provided members with background information and legal constraints concerning school boundaries, and subsequent meetings built upon the previous ones. So if parents come to one meeting without hearing an earlier one that detailed critical data that limited possible courses of action, he said they wouldn’t have the background needed to form viable opinions. That may be true. But it doesn’t outweigh the legal requirement to make the meetings public. Costly facilitator For more evidence that this committee was legitimately authorized by the school board, trustees at their Oct. 2, 2014 meeting formally approved a contract with consultant Leonard Steinberg at the rate of $350 per hour to facilitate the meetings. The contract, which is open-ended, was approved by a vote of 4 to 1, with board member John Salazar opposed. Salazar’s request to fellow board members to consider a cap on the facilitator costs was rejected. When he asked for a not-to-exceed See EDUCATION, page 25

San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monthly Update Superintendent Schmitt plans to update the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through our local media with a monthly update. Topics covered will include curriculum, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s update focuses on middle and high school enrollment. 2015-16 High School Enrollment SDUHSD will employ its current enrollment practices for the 2015-16 school year with the High School Selection process, which began on Feb. 2, 2015. Each incoming 9th grade student is required to select the school he or she would like to attend in the 2015-16 school year. In order to participate in the SDUHSD High School Selection process, the student must live within the SDUHSD boundaries. The High School Selection window closes at 4 p.m. on Monday, March 2, 2015. Current SDUHSD 8th grade students who make no high school selection will be automatically enrolled in their school of residence (LCCHS or TPHS). Students already enrolled in SDUHSD high schools need not make a high school selection for 2015-16 unless they want to change schools. If more students apply for enrollment in a school than capacity can accommodate, we will conduct a random lottery to determine which students are enrolled. While we cannot guarantee that every student will get into his or her first choice school for 2015-16, we are committed to doing our absolute best to enroll as many students as we can in their first choice school and we have a history of success with this effort. For more information on 2015-16 high school enrollment, please visit www.sduhsd.net/Parents--Students/High-SchoolSelection/index.html. High School Enrollment Study Group In the summer 2014, the SDUHSD Board of Trust-
Rick Schmitt ees asked staff to establish a group of parents, students and staff members to explore various options for enrolling students in our high schools. The group was established due to concerns expressed by community members about the lottery enrollment process at two high schools and due to the need to examine long-term high school enrollment projections and demographic shifts in our community. Participants for the group were solicited in the early fall of 2014 and the group was established as the High School Enrollment Study Group (HSESG). The group is not a decision-making body, but rather an information gathering effort focused on the following tasks: â&#x20AC;˘ Examine the long-term demographic and enrollment projections that could influence HS enrollment in SDUHSD â&#x20AC;˘ Examine current district enrollment practices and relevant state law in order to arrive at a list of potential ways we could enroll students in our high schools â&#x20AC;˘ Analyze each potential option to identify benefits and drawbacks of each option â&#x20AC;˘ Share these options, along with benefits/drawbacks, with the broader community and seek feedback on each â&#x20AC;˘ Report findings to the school board The group has met three times to date and will begin seeking input from the broader community this spring. While the exact timeline is unclear, the group expects to report its findings to the school board late in the spring or summer of 2015. Given this, it is im-
portant to realize that should the board decide to make changes in how we enroll students in our high schools, these changes would take place beginning with the 2016-17 school year, not the 2015-16 school year. For more detailed information about the work of the HSESG, please visit the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s webpage at www. sduhsd.net/Parents--Students/High-School-Selection/index.html. Summaries of each of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meetings are posted here as well as information about community forums and other community input opportunities. Middle School IntraDistrict Transfers Students who will attend SDUHSD middle schools in the 2015-16 school year have the opportunity to apply to attend a school other than their school of residence. Beginning Monday, Feb. 2, 2015, incoming 7th and 8th grade students can apply for intradistrict transfers. The intradistrict transfer window will close March 2, 2015. After this deadline, we will grant transfers on a space-available basis. If more students apply for transfer to a school than capacity can accommodate, we will conduct a random lottery to determine which transfers are granted. Historically, each of our middle schools has accommodated all transfer requests with the exception of Carmel Valley Middle School. There has never been the need to conduct a middle school lottery. Students accepted on an intra-district transfer are responsible for their own transportation. Detailed information on district schools is available via our district website (www. sduhsd.net) and further information about intra-district transfers is available at www.sduhsd.net/Parents-Students/High-School-Selection/index.html.

MANAGER
DRONE
continued from page 1
tant manager Ivan Holler has served as interim manager. With Overton’s arrival, Holler returns to his former position. Overton said he was happy working at his job in Desert Mountain, when he was contacted by a recruiter regarding the Rancho Santa Fe job. He came to the Ranch to meet with the Association board, and “everything just naturally fell into place there. It felt like a really good fit.” One of the things that impressed him, said Overton, was the list of projects that the Association board is working on, such as improved cellular service, expanding broadband service to every lot in the Covenant, and research into the costs and feasibility of a community swimming pool and fitness center. Another was the board’s emphasis on communication and transparency, which he shares, Overton said. “The board is committed to open and transparent communication on all issues at all times,” he said. Among the ways he plans to improve communication with members, he said, are to enhance the Association’s website, and expand its email list to be used for everything from sending out information on upcoming issues to emergency notifications for wildfires and other incidents. Overton also wants to launch a quarterly newsletter or magazine to keep members informed, similar to a publication he started at Desert Mountain. Last year, Overton won a “Manager of the Year” award from the Arizona Association of Community Managers. In a farewell letter to residents of Desert Mountain, he listed as among his proudest accomplishments the construction of a trail system funded almost entirely by owner donations. In Rancho Santa Fe, Overton will oversee an organization that provides a variety of services, such as a security patrol, maintenance and development of the community’s pri-
vate system of hiking and equestrian trails, parks and recreation and development review. The Association also owns and manages a golf and tennis club. Although Rancho Santa Fe is officially part of the unincorporated area of San Diego County, and comes under the jurisdiction of the county government, the Association functions much like a local government agency. Overton’s tenure as manager comes after a tumultuous period in 2014, when Smith left amid criticism from some residents regarding his annual base salary of $247,000, which totaled $271,000 with his annual bonus and taxable benefits, according to Association tax documents. The Board of Directors removed Ann Boon as president of that body, and she was subsequently re-elected to a new three-year term, and also reinstated as board president. In her column published in today’s Rancho Santa Fe Review, Boon said Overton will receive an annual base salary of $215,000, plus an annual performance bonus of up to 15 percent, if he meets specific performance criteria established by the board. Overton will also receive vacation, health and retirement benefits, according to Boon. “Ultimately, we structured a package that we believe is fair to our manager and to the community. We established a package that provides strong incentives for performance,” Boon wrote. Overton, an avid cyclist, said he is looking forward to hitting North County’s scenic roadways. He and his wife, Gabriela, have three children; the youngest is a freshman at Arizona State University. He encouraged residents to email him at bill@rsfassociation.org, or call him at 858-756-1174 with questions or concerns. “I’m here to help,” he said.

route, a technician with a pilot’s license must manually operate them during shoots, according to Owens. Also, Owens said preparing for scenes demands completing stacks of detailed safety paperwork. “80 percent of the job is done off set,” Owens said. He said the demand is skyrocketing for drones in television, movies and commercials. And drones are poised to take off in other industries. John McGraw, a private aerospace consultant and former deputy flight standards director for the FAA, said more businesses are turning to drones, for everything from monitoring crops to inspecting bridges. “They’re a lot safer in many cases,” McGraw said. However, McGraw said most drone companies are currently operating without FAA approval, potentially limiting their growth. But, he said the FAA exemptions signaled the agency is close to rolling out a draft of uniform rules for small drones. Facing pressure from drone manufacturers, the FAA is expected to announce proposed standards in the next month or so for legalizing drones that weigh less than 55 pounds. Still, it could be around two years before such rules take effect, McGraw said. “Regulations have been slow to catch up to the technology,” he said. He added the FAA has a tough job because it has to navigate safety concerns and other issues when crafting regulations. Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, an industry group, anticipates drone businesses could generate $14 billion in economic activity in the U.S. from 2015 to 2018. In a June press release, the group stated uniform FAA rules and training procedures, rather than individual exemptions, would unlock the industry’s potential. In the meantime, “it’s really exciting to be on the cutting edge of this industry,” said Kate Bedingfield, spokeswoman for the Motion Picture Association of America. The association facilitated the first round of FAA exemptions. Bedingfield said the organization would push for more filmmaking waivers when appropriate in the near term. “There are really tremendous creative and safety benefits,” Bedingfield said.

amount, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they all said no,â&#x20AC;? Salazar said at the time. Grove said last week that Steinbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company has billed the district just over $12,000 for his work to date, to prepare for and facilitate the three meetings. He called Steinberg â&#x20AC;&#x153;productive and objectiveâ&#x20AC;? and said it was good to have him lead this effort. Grove said the decision was made to select an outside consultant to do the work rather than use someone from inside the district, to avoid the appearance that the district would be controlling the process and come to a predetermined conclusion. But the district traded one potential misperception for another, very real one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; widespread, valid objections over the high-priced contract and the amount of taxpayer money being spent on the facilitator. Paying big bucks for someone to lead a task force might be more palatable if the purpose of the group was to explore options for something so complicated and impossible to sort out
that no board member or staff administrator could wrap their heads around it. But this is not one of those issues. When demand for a school exceeds supply and a lottery system is used that does not offer preferential status to kids who live close to the school, the obvious solution is to give first priority to students within a certain geographic radius so they can attend their neighborhood school if they choose to do so. If more seats are available after that, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open to the entire district via a lottery. Recommendation to the board, and done. Salazar supported this approach and opposed the formation of a task force,
but district staff and the board decided instead to create this cumbersome 43-member committee to study the issue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a move that has delayed for one full year any change in current policy. And then district staff decided to close the meetings to the public. This is a highly contentious and emotionally charged issue, with hundreds of parents anxious about the deliberations. Discussions should not be kept secret. There have already been three illegally held meetings. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not see a fourth. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@ gmail.com.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just feel really good about things,â&#x20AC;? he said. Other good signs, said Reaser, are growth of the economy at near 3 percent, more job creation, low inflation and a lower unemployment rate, although she acknowledged that many people have stopped looking for work, and wages havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increased. Closer to home, Reaser said California and San Diego in particular are doing well, and she noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the jobs are not all going to Texas.â&#x20AC;? San Diego saw the creation of 44,000 new jobs last year, said Reaser: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Biotech is on fire.â&#x20AC;? Other sectors, such as tourism, the military, construction and health are also growing, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think San Diego is on a good track,â&#x20AC;? Reaser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably outperform the state and the nation again in 2015.â&#x20AC;? One of the biggest economic developments in recent months, she said, was the drop in oil prices, which have led to gasoline prices in San Diego hovering at a little over $2 per gallon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plunge in oil prices by more than 50 percent

is just unprecedented,â&#x20AC;? she said, and has prompted a â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge shift of wealthâ&#x20AC;? from oil-producing nations, such as Venezuela, Russia, Mexico, Canada and Saudi Arabia, to oil consumers, including the United States, India and China. Reaser also focused on such topics as interest rates and the local housing market. Economists expect the Federal Reserve to gradually begin raising interest rates this summer, and that mortgage rates may hit 4.5 percent by the end of the year, Reaser said. She predicted increases in sales and inventory in 2015, as well as moderate increases in housing prices of 4 percent to 5 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this will be a good year for real estate.â&#x20AC;? Last year, the housing market settled down after a price spike in 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone took a breath and things got back to normal,â&#x20AC;? she said. Today, she said, the housing market is fairly balanced, with no real advantage for sellers or buyers. First-time home buyers will be coming back into the market, and more people may also decide to put their homes up for sale, as they try to move up into larger, more expensive properties, Reaser said. One constraint on San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing market, she said, is the regulations put in place by local governments. Such regulations can drag out the approval process for projects on available residential land, which is already scarce. Reaserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic team at Point Loma Nazarene is working on a study of the impact of regulations on housing prices in San Diego County, and the report should be coming out in the next month or two, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty scary,â&#x20AC;? she said. Also at the Jan. 27 gathering, officials with the Bridges Club announced that the club would soon be transitioning to member ownership. In a written statement issued Friday, club general manager Sean McCune said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As of January 30, The Bridges became a true member-owned Club.

Artists explore how the deaf experience sound in ‘LOUD Silence’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY WILL BOWEN Art can be of great value in helping us look at concepts like “difference” and “equality” in new ways. It can even speed the process of our social evolution. The Calit2 gallery on the UC San Diego campus (California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology) is one place where people are not afraid to do this, and that makes it worthy of our attention. Calit2 is a place that can help us grow. Its curators and artists make our humanity “bigger.” The latest show at Calit2 is called “LOUD silence.” It’s about sound and hearing, and explores the question, “What do the deaf really hear?” The artists in this show collectively attempt to loudly explode the myth of a silent deaf world. They aim to build a pathway that will help eradicate any oppression of the deaf and lead to new ways of thinking about sound and silence. Social scientists Carol Padden and Tom Humphries say people with deafness actually know a lot about sound, and sound informs and inhabits their world just as much it does the next person. It’s just that the deaf hear more viscerally — through vibrations and sensations. They may even see sound. Music theorist Joseph Straus says that for the deaf, “Hearing can be a much more multisensory experience.” The opening night of “LOUD silence” Jan. 22 was a very moving and uplifting experience, seeing people gaily bantering in American Sign Language. A large group of the hearing-impaired showed up for Christine Sun Kim’s “FingerTap Quartet.” Kim presented her performance piece both in ASL and by typing on a computer with her words displayed on a linked bank of 20 large-screen TVs. She shared four prompts about sound that she asked Jamie Stewart and his musical group, Xin Xin, to vocalize. The first prompt was to make “a sound that you like and think is good.” This produced vowel sounds like oh, ee and ah. The second prompt was to make “a sound that you don’t like and don’t think is good.” This lead to sounds like nasty laughs, coughs, and backward-spoken words. The third prompt was to make “a sound that you like but suspect might not be good.” This led to yawns and rapping rhythms. The fourth prompt to make “a sound that you don’t like but know is good,” produced foghorns, doorbells, telephone rings and babies crying. After the performance, show curator Amanda Cachia, a grad student studying art history, theory and criticism at UCSD and who is also a dwarf activist, was joined on stage by Kim, Lisa Cartwright and Brenda Brueggemann for a panel discussion about the performance and gallery exhibition. The panel explored deaf people’s conceptions of sound and the distinction between art and identity in deaf soundworks.
The wall of digital prints in the Calit2 gallery on the UC San Diego campus for the exhibit ‘LOUD Silence.’ An audience member asked Kim what a deaf person’s experience of rhythm was like. Kim said that she was exploring rhythm by watching a metronome swing back and forth at different speeds, but had not yet come to any conclusions. After the panel, patrons strolled over to explore the Calit2 gallery proper, which featured things like a performance video by Shary Boyle titled “Silent Dedication”; an installation by Darrin Martin called “Radiolarian”; some drawings of sound scoring by Kim; and a set of sculptures titled “Breathing Instruments,” by Alison O’Daniel. The gallery plans to host additional events with speakers and performances related to the show, which will be posted at http://gallery.calit2.net. The show runs through March 1. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Class project becomes book series for young author
Paint class offered Feb. 21 at Del Mar Highlands Town Center
BY KRISTINA HOUCK What began as a fifthgrade assignment has turned into a children’s book series for Liana-Melissa Allen. Now 19, the young author and illustrator has recently self-published “Donkey’s Kite: A Horse Valley Ad- Liana-Melissa Allen with one of the books in her series, venture,” the second book of ‘Donkey’s Kite: A Horse Valley Adventure.’ Courtesy “A Horse Valley Adventure” photo series. “I just love to enter other worlds,” said Allen, who graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 2014. “I love to create imaginary characters and write about their worlds. It feels like the characters are alive when I’m drawing them and writing about them.” A creative child, Allen grew up drawing and writing. Her imagination stemmed from her love of reading, which was instilled in her as a young girl by her father. Every evening she sat in his lap in their “Big Chair,” where he read to her. By second grade, Allen created a cast of characters that later starred in her first book. “I had adventures with them,” she recalled. “I’d go places, and they’d go with me. It was something that captured my childhood. When I’m in that world, I’m kind of like a kid again.” Fast-forward to fifth grade, Allen wrote and illustrated “The Three Little Horses and the Big Bully Donkey,” a spin-off of “The Three Little Pigs,” for a class project. Her father, who read weekly to children at Del Mar Heights Elementary School, shared the story with students. “They just loved the stories,” recalled Paul Allen, who volunteered at the school for 13 years. “It was so exciting to see kids get inspired to read.” As a 17-year-old high school junior, Allen self-published her first book. Since then, she has published six books, including a Spanish version of “The Three Little Horses and the Big Bully Donkey.” Allen, who is also a pianist, is planning on releasing audio books for her series. She is also working on animating the characters for a YouTube video. In addition to delving into young adult fiction, she has plenty of ideas for “A Horse Valley Adventure” series. “I’ve got quite a few characters to have fun with,” she said. “I have a very talented daughter,” her father added. “I’m very proud of her.” Allen’s books are available at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.

2015 Go Red For Women Campaign kicks off Feb. 5 The American Heart Association’s annual Go Red For Women Campaign kicks off Thursday, February 5, with local landmarks and supporters “Going Red.” Over 25 San Diego landmarks/businesses are Going Red in February, including UC San Diego Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, UC San Diego Medical Center, La Valencia Hotel and the US Grant, to name a few. In addition, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors has declared Friday, Feb. 6 as Wear Red Day in San Diego County. National Wear Red Day and American Heart Month are just one portion of the American Heart Association’s yearlong Go Red For Women campaign. The campaign is a national call to increase awareness of heart disease in women that inspires women to take charge of their heart health, and stress the importance of knowing their numbers (i.e. blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and body mass index). Since the movement was launched a little over a decade ago, more than 650,000 women have been saved from
heart disease. Yet there is still much to do as nearly 1,100 women are still dying each day. For information, visit www.goredforwomen. org.

‘2015 Go Red For Women Luncheon’ to be held Feb. 27 The 2015 Go Red For Women Luncheon is Friday, Feb. 27, at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina. The luncheon is the celebratory event for the American Heart Association’s annual Go Red campaign. For many, the luncheon is a life-changing experience. The luncheon focuses on three areas to support the fight against heart disease in women: heightening awareness of the issue, creating a passionate call-to-action, and generating funds to support education and research. The 2014 luncheon drew over 650 people, raising almost $750,000 for heart disease and stroke research. The 2015 event is expected to surpass those figures. Organizers expect the event to be a complete sell-out. New to this year’s luncheon is renowned aerialist Tania Holt. Luncheon registration begins at 10 a.m. The American Heart Association will also honor its 2015 Legendary Women of the Heart at the event. This year’s Legendary Women are Dixie Unruh, Karen Cohn, Gaby Sulpizio, Sally Thornton, and Ronne Froman Blue. This year’s campaign chair is Debbie Turner. Barbara-Lee Edwards of KFMB-CBS 8 will again serve as Go Red For Women Luncheon Mistress of Ceremonies. Local Go Red For Women sponsor UC San Diego Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center will provide free health screenings to attendees. Screening include Body Mass Index, hypertension (blood pressure) and cholesterol.

Local sisters hoping line of travel accessories will go far BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having frequently traveled for business and pleasure, sisters Shelli Pelly and Vickie Nezat saw a need for functional, stylish travel gear for women. Looking to meet that need in the marketplace, the pair launched women’s luxury lifestyle brand, Jessie Georgina, in mid-November. “You should demand more from your products,” said Pelly, co-founder and chief operating officer of Jessie Georgina. “You should demand they fit and suit your lifestyle.” Jessie Georgina’s debut collection, “Solana Beach,” features five products, including a travel tote, four-in-one belt bag, twoin-one wallet and clutch, two-in-one cosmetic and toiletry bag, and toiletry bag. One of the line’s most popular items is the Wind-n-Sea toiletry bag, which offers extra space for products, while still adhering to the Transportation Security Administration’s 3-1-1 liquids rule. After all, it was designed by Nezat, who worked for the TSA after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. “She comes up with a lot of these really cool organizational features and figures out how to make them work,” Pelly said. “With this design, you can fit more products.” Another popular product, Pelly said, is the four-in-one Trestles belt bag. With a removable strap, it can be used as a belt bag, cross-body, clutch and wallet. “Some of the pieces will grow on you because you don’t realize how ineffective and non-functional a lot of your pieces are until you have something that is actually
specifically made for you,” said Pelly, a longtime San Diego resident who lives near the Rancho Santa Fe polo fields. “We get so used to things not really working for us and making do.” Originally from Seattle, Pelly and Nezat grew up in a military family, with their father a member of the U.S. Coast Guard. Pelly, who’s just a year and a half older than Nezat, graduated from the University of San Diego with a bachelor’s degree in mass media communications. After earning her degree, she spent 15 years in the corporate sector as a director of sales in telecommunications and Internet technology. Nezat earned a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Oregon, and spent 11 years working for the government. Living in Carmel Valley, she works as a consultant in addition to serving as co-founder and chief creative officer of Jessie Georgina. Although the sisters worked in different sectors for most of their lives, they have always dreamed of building a business together, especially one that would cater to women, Pelly said. “We always knew at some point we were going to go into business together, and it was going to be something that would help make women’s lives better and easier,” Pelly said. “It’s something that’s just been positive. I don’t know that I would have done it with somebody who wasn’t my sister.” The pair formed the business in 2011, naming it after their late grandmother, Jessie Georgina. Nezat created the initial designs, See TRAVEL, page B22

Patriot Profiles: ‘I’m grateful I had an opportunity to give back to Liberia’
Students in the Ebola Treatment Unit Course diagnose a potential patient for symptoms of the Ebola virus during training at the National Police Training Academy in Monrovia, Liberia, in November 2014. Photo by Staff Sgt. V. Michelle Woods.
This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” The words of John F. Kennedy ring true as the United States sends up to 4,000 men and women in uniform to help free Ebola-stricken nations. According to the World Health Organization, “The current outbreak in West Africa (first cases notified in March 2014), is the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976. There have been more cases and deaths in this outbreak than all others combined.” For U.S. Navy Lt. Prince Kwaku Tailey, born and raised in Liberia, the return to his homeland to join the fight was an emotional one. The challenge for him and other military members was not just the disease. As WHO describes it: “The most severely affected countries, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, have very weak health systems, lacking human and infrastructural resources, having only recently emerged from long periods of conflict and instability … Community engagement is the key to successfully controlling outbreaks.” Tailey supports the U.S. Department of Defense’s Ebola Training Team and is responsible for coordinating movement for Mobile Training Teams. “Any logistical issues they run into — we make sure all of that happens. We become the background force, so the training teams can carry on their missions.” Tailey leads a 23-member Navy team, part of Task Force Eagle Medic that supports the Ebola Training Team. The team’s trainers were taught by WHO (concentrated in Monrovia) to be flexible in the field. During the training, Tailey, as operations officer, sat in with a group of Ebola survivors they referred to for “expectations.” “There are about seven people on the panel, and each of them gave their experiences from before they got infected, when they got infected and the training and treatment they received in the Ebola Treatment Unit. It was very interesting and heartbreaking at the same time. “There was one lady — it started with her kid,” he continued in his West African accent. “She and her husband took him to the hospital — the ETU. In that process, her hus-
band got infected as well. The lady contracted the disease taking care of her son and husband … She lost her son first and then her husband … She survived the treatment through the ETU. “Every one of those individuals that gave their story said great things about providers and the nurses that catered to them during their time in the ETU,” he continued. “Our contributions did a lot because we exposed (the populace) to what they needed to know to take care of themselves and their family members. Almost all the remote areas are now covered as far as training goes, for running ETUs and all of that.” Growing up in Liberia, Tailey said, he “was not privy to a lot of things.” He joined the Marine Corps in 1998 and served 10 years, reaching staff sergeant, E-6. His longtime interest in health care steered him towards the Navy Medical Service Corps. In 2008, he was accepted into the Sailor Procurement Program, a way enlisted Marines and sailors can become officers. Running with military edu-
Liberia, 2014. Lt. Prince Kwaku Tailey. Photo courtesy U.S. Navy cational opportunities, he also earned a master’s degree in health care administration from Baylor University in 2010. As a health care administrator, Tailey supports all aspects of managing a naval medical facility. An affinity for health care came from Tailey’s granddad, a registered nurse. These footsteps he’s followed have taken him to far-off places and back. In 2011, Tailey deployed to Afghanistan, as a combat adviser during Operation Enduring Freedom. “I advised the budget director to the surgeon general for the Afghan National Police. They had their own medical police hospital, so we trained their hospital staff how to run it. Through our efforts, the police and Army hospitals have been fully operating throughout Afghanistan. You can see we’re not in combat missions anymore. Everything is now headed by the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police.” Tailey feels fortunate to be part of health care machinery — working with a diverse group of people. “I’m grateful I had an opportunity to come and give back to Liberia. To see the great progress that has happened since I’ve been here See PATRIOT, page B15

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS ‘Beautiful You’ offers a variety of cutting edge, anti-aging skincare treatments • Owner Kimberly Ceballos passionate about “making a difference” in her clients’ lives For years, Kimberly Ceballos suffered from acne. Now, a licensed medical aesthetician, Ceballos has dedicated her life to helping others feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. “I was so insecure for so many years,” said Ceballos, owner of Beautiful You. “When I started getting skincare, it was like an unveiling.” Because skincare changed her life, Ceballos set out to transform the lives of others by studying skincare at Poway Academy of Beauty and Spa, now called Bellus Academy. She opened Beautiful You in 2004. “I named my business ‘Beautiful You’ because I truly think everyone is beautiful,” she said. “I see beauty in everyone, and I want each and every person that walks in here to feel loved and beautiful.” Located in Carmel Valley, Beautiful You offers a variety of cutting-edge, anti-aging treatments. Blending science and nature, Ceballos treats her clients using advanced technologies and organic products. One such method is DNA Health Institute’s CryoStem Cell Therapy. The flash frozen serum, which contains fresh stem cells, helps restore skin at the cellular level, Ceballos said. Another popular method, often used in conjunction, is LED Light Therapy, which Ceballos explained was developed by NASA for plant growth experiments and wound treatments. LED Light Therapy triggers cellular regeneration, collagen, elastin and fibroblast production while eliminating bac-

Quality of Service is Our Finest Treasure Your Valentine Deserves the Best
“A lot of treatments that we do today, we started off treating wounds,” Ceballos said. “We found that anything that helps to heal the skin, helps the cells to rejuvenate, will also be anti-
aging.” Other Beautiful You services include diamond microdermabrasion, vibradermabrasion, cryotherapy, broken capillary removals, age spot removals, skin peels, facials, and more. “I love to be able to deliver really amazing results,” Ceballos said. Having started her career as a massage therapist 20 years ago, Ceballos incorporates massage therapy, relaxing music and other techniques to make her clients comfortable. Ceballos never leaves the room, spending quality, oneon-one time with all her patients, she said. “For me, it’s about quality, not quantity,” said Ceballos, who studied massage therapy at Mueller College of Holistic Studies. She still works as a massage therapist, specializing in trigger point therapy and neuromuscular therapy. “I spend a lot of time with each client.” With business growing, Ceballos recently expanded Beautiful You, opening a new, larger location at the same office building. “I’m not here just to make a buck,” Ceballos said. “I really want to make a difference.” Beautiful You is located at 12264 El Camino Real, Suite 115, in Carmel Valley.

e’ve all heard the question “but what is really financial planning?” First, focus on the term “planning.” I like to analogize financial planning much like having a medical check-up — one of those really thorough physical check-ups. After which, our doctor receives the report from all those tests we were given and then we receive the news. Maybe some pointers to lose weight, get that cholesterol under control and to exercise more. Now, have you ever had a thorough financial check-up? A comprehensive fiscal exam will involve helping you create a personal investment and retirement portfolio to match your goals and objectives, and provide strategies to reduce your income taxes. By the way, how much did you pay in income taxes last year? Check your federal tax return 1040 and see line 61, then CA form 540, line 64. Both show what you paid. Now, total and divide by 12 to show you just how much you paid — on average — each month last year. Proper tax “planning” may help reduce those extra taxes paid. When was the last time you reviewed your wills and trust? Have your plans changed? We will review your estate plan along with a review of all the insurance you currently own vs. what you actually need — that is included in a comprehensive plan. Our services include an initial “get acquainted” meeting to determine if we can be of assistance and explain our planning process. A fee is based on your needs. Our plan includes a written report, unlimited visits and phone calls to create, revise and implement your customized financial plan. Our annual reviews are planned each year after April 15. While the New Year is fresh, maybe having that fiscal check-up can be added to your New Year’s resolutions. Get started by ordering our booklet, Are You Financially Organized?, and complete the Initial Planning Guide at www.MoneyTalkRadio.com or at (858) 597-1980 in preparation for your complimentary interview. Becoming financially organized is just good common sense. Do you feel financially organized? Let us help.

SDCCC hosts speaker on ID theft Feb. 17 The San Diego Coastal Chambers of Commerce will host a community event regarding identity theft from 11:45 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17, at the Fish Market in Del Mar/Solana Beach. Jesse Navarro from the San Diego District Attorney’s office will be the guest speaker. ID theft has been called the fastest-growing crime in America. It remains, however, difficult to quantify for a number of reasons. Many states do not have a specific ID theft statute. Even when such a statute exists, as in California, the definition of ID theft often varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The format of crime reporting can easily overlook cases, and many victims never report it to police. Lunch will be served. Cost is $25 prepaid or $35 at the door. For tickets, visit www. sandiegocoastalchamber.com.

Deborah Sims presents ‘Engaging Women in Wealth Introductory Workshop’ Deborah Sims and the Estate Management Group held the launching of “Engaging Women in Wealth Workshops in 2015” Jan. 28 at the RSF Golf Club. “We are thrilled so many women have responded with such enthusiasm.” The Jan. 28 Introduction Workshop sold out and there are limited seats for the Feb. 11 Introduction Workshop from noon-2 p.m. at the RSF Golf Club.

is tremendous.” He was able to sit through high-level meetings and see the synchronization between DoD and the U.S. Agency for International Development (the lead) and all the other components. “It was awesome to see how these different agencies can come together and operate — set an example for future missions.” At the end of a hard day, it’s time to alleviate stress. “One of things I look forward to every evening is calling my wife back in the States — getting to talk to her and asking her how her day went and how the kids are doing at school. “It’s easier for the military member to leave, but the folks we leave behind — the wives, husbands and significant others — they are the ones that have to do everything. I just want to take my hat off to them, because they are actually the heroes and do the hard work compared to what we do.” Home-based at Naval Hospital Pensacola, Fla., Tailey is assistant department head for materials management. “Everything they use in the hospital has to come through my department, so we order the supplies and get the contracts in place for doctors and nurses. The hospital wouldn’t operate without materials management. “Once I’m retired, my plan is to work for the State Department in some capacity. I hope I’ve done great things as a military member and that my experiences can impact young sailors and anybody I encounter, based on everything I’ve gained.” “Giving them my background, (I) hope it will be an inspiration for them to do greater and better things, because I definitely came from nowhere to where I am at today.” With Lt. Prince Kwaku Tailey, health care starts in the heart and reaches out with a hand — May the people of Liberia find some comfort here.

5 Housing Predictions for 2015 As we get ready turn the calendar to a new year, it’s a good time not only look back at how the housing market did in 2014, but to use that information to try and predict what is in store for 2015. And while real estate can never offer assurances, here are 5 trends that we might safely expect to see in the coming year.
1. Rising home values The idea of a “housing market” is actually a localized concept. The market trends may be increasing in some areas of the country, while decreasing in others. Even with that being said, you can look at overall national averages to get a general idea of where trends might be heading. And if you look to these national averages, home values have been steadily rising for quite some time. The S&P/CaseShiller Home Price Index published a report in October that revealed that prices have risen nationwide by 5.6% over the last year. And by all indications, this trend will continue into 2015. 2. Double-digit gains Zillow, one of the nation’s top real estate information companies, uses a forecasting
tool that can be adjusted based on projected increase (or decrease) in home values. And according to their data, California (and the Southwest in general) is the only area that will see double-digit increases. In much of California, Zillow predicts 10-15% gains through 2015. These predictions are based on Zillow’s own pricing models, actual sale prices, and other housing trends. So although it is just a prediction, it is based on solid statistical data. 3. Mortgage rates around 5% Again, in looking at predictions based on strong housing data, Freddie Mac projects mortgage rates to hang somewhere around 5% in 2015. Freddie Mac performs weekly mortgage rate surveys, and based on this information, they predict rates to gradually rise over the next 12 months. While probably
hovering just below 5% for most of the year, the projected average rate assigned to a 30-year loan could go just over 5% by the end of 2015. 4. Foreclosure decline When the housing market crashed several years ago, you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing a slew of foreclosures. Over the last couple of years, however, the number of foreclosures has steadily declined which reflects a normalization of not only the housing market, but of the economy as a whole. In fact, financial data firm, Core Logic recently reported that foreclosure inventory has declined for 31 straight months.

Community Concerts of RSF presents Outreach musical program at The Cambridge School BY GAIL KENDALL As part of its charitable Outreach efforts, the Community Concerts of RSF sponsored a musical program with Alex DePue and Miguel DeHoyos for the students of The Cambridge School, a school offering a classical education with a Christian worldview. (www. cambridgeclassical.org) Many of these students consistently won first place for several years in a musical contest that was sponsored by the San Diego Chamber Orchestra, and their continued education and enthusiasm for good music still showed through during the Outreach. Alex DePue later that evening told the Community Concert audience he thought he was dealing with college students, although the students present were from 3rd through 8th grade!
Alex DePue and Miguel DeHoyos Alex and Miguel love to have fun with their skills and their music and the students were right with them, laughing, applauding, and clapping in rhythm. Alex would try to stump them with questions about genre, technique, etc., but the students delighted in keeping right up with him with on-target answers. He purposely made mistakes; they weren’t fooled, but it did elicit peals of laughter. He taught them improvisation, the differences in genre, the importance of practice; mostly, they were thrilled with the level of skill and entertainment offered by these two fine gentlemen and excellent musicians.
DePue-DeHoyos deliver a versatile, vibrant concert full of surprises BY BIBBI HERRMANN CONNER A chance meeting south of the border melded the talents of Alex DePue and Miguel DeHoyos, two stellar musicians, each known in their separate countries for their fiery performances. Rancho Santa Fe’s Fellowship Hall lit up as this sizzling, dynamic duo set the sold-out crowd on fire. But DePue is a trickster. He fooled the audience by opening the concert with a crackling violin solo of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” though it didn’t take long for us to realize why he was our National Fiddling Champion — twice! And sitting beside him to complement the strings with his own set of strings? Miguel DeHoyos — the most extraordinary flamenco guitarist you have ever had the privilege of listening to. Put these two unique yet uber-talented men together, and they can take the pace from fabulously frenetic to sensual in seconds! I watched in awe as DeHoyos effortlessly squeezed sounds out of every fret on his guitar. DePue boasted the same versatility on his violin by simulating birds whistling during a spunky rendition of “Over the Rainbow.” If you think that was neat, he later treated us to the sounds of sirens, car alarms, a flock of seagulls and a bomb! Segues were always laced with humor and sometimes included the endings for Bugs Bunny and Warner Brother cartoons — a silly surprise that always brought laughter from the responsive crowd. Alex DePue mentioned that he even lived in RSF for a while, which thrilled the crowd because most of the performers usually travel to our concerts from far-away places. Miguel DeHoyos is from Monterrey, Mexico, and treated us to a song from his region called “La Vecina.” He remarked that any restaurant in Mexico is always happy to play this song for you — for the right price. Ha! DePue and his supernatural trills on the
violin kept the audience in awe and one particular gentleman spontaneously kept yelling out “Yes!” after many a song. Then they played “Fragile” — by Sting! Really? Wow. An unusual red rectangular thing was attached to the top of DePue’s violin — a piece invented by his brother (an inventor, of course). You see, DePue tends to use his violin as percussion (stealthily hits it at the top). He affectionately named it the “Bow Block” — preventing him from destroying fiddles now and again. That resonating “click” adds a wonderful Latin flair. You expect flamenco dancers to take over the stage and strike dramatic poses with every swipe. No matter what genre they are playing — their music moves you! Their glorious version of “Stairway to Heaven” took me back decades! Without us even realizing it, they smoothly transitioned into “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas, then seamlessly into “Hotel California” by the Eagles. I’m not certain whether everyone in the audience recognized that this was classic rock, as it took on a mesmerizing, melodious and at times dramatic tone. Simply beautiful. They started the second half with a snippet of classical, then magically channeled some Kentucky bluegrass. There is nothing their instruments can’t play! And do you like Gypsy music? Well, pretend you are in a band of Gypsies. After a long day, you may imagine yourself around the campfire listening to “The Charnoff” while the wind is whistling through the trees. I know my father (who was in the audience) had a tear in his eye as they played this — whistling wind and all. It was transcendent. Now how do you play “Dueling Banjos” with a guitar and a violin? Well DePue and DeHoyos did it effortlessly, so to speak, then continued on (after very long applause) to the “William Tell” overture by Rossini (aka See CONCERT, page B22

“The Lone Ranger” theme). Incredibly difficult piece with strong instrumentals. Their fingers must be made of rubber! The “Libretto” from “The Phantom of the Opera” was a popular Broadway surprise...especially as it magically morphed into Santana’s “Black Magic Woman” — what? “Yes!” They closed the show with an original co-written by both of them titled, “No Se.” It was a blend of an upbeat Irish sound infused with Latin riffs. Hints of an Americana twist ended this fast-paced song, which seemed to hit every note possible. The encore was a finger-twisting piece by Mozart, “Rondo alla Turca.” The speed and clarity took our breath away! Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe continue to outdo themselves — again. Yes! The next Community Concert is Friday, Feb. 27, with Good Company. For information, visit www.ccrsf.org.

while Pelly selected the materials and colors. “It took on a life of its own and we both started coming up with ideas,” Pelly said. “Then it evolved to changing things that we didn’t like in the marketplace and making them better.” Because many customers have adapted the travel pieces for everyday use, the sisters plan to launch another collection geared for businesswomen. The collection, which will debut in late June or early July, will feature a tote and a portfolio, among other products. “We want to cover the gamut of travel, business and everyday,” Pelly said. Jessie Georgina is available online and at Madison Leather & Luggage at the Flower Hill Promenade in Del Mar. Four other shops in San Diego and Orange counties plan to carry the products in the spring, Pelly said. Besides collaborating on their second collection, the sisters are also looking at ways to give back to the community through Jessie Georgina.
Jessie Georgina will be the exclusive bag and accessory designer showcased at the “Hearts, Hats and Heels” charity luncheon Feb. 12 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. (See page 10 for a story on the event.) At the event, 20 percent of proceeds will benefit After the Finish Line, a nonprofit that contributes funds to organizations that rescue, rehabilitate and find new homes for thoroughbreds. The company is also donating 20 percent of its online “ATFL” promo code sales throughout February. The sisters are also donating Jessie Georgina products for “Date Night for a Cause,” a March 20 benefit for Rady Children’s Hospital at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, as well as an upcoming Challenged Athletes Foundation fundraiser. “We’re very committed to giving back and giving back within the community,” Pelly said.” Visit www.jessiegeorgina.com.

Robyn Raskind of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties marks 35 Years of Award-Winning Customer Service Robyn Raskind, a REALTOR - Sales Associate in the Rancho Santa Fe-Del Rayo office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, is celebrating the 35th year of a career that has consistently been marked with excellence. “Robyn has maintained a stellar reputation with her clients and ranks among the top agents in the nation in sales volume,” said office manager Diana Rubottom. “She has bought, built, and sold real estate along the North County coast, bringing her signature brand of marketing expertise, negotiation, and top customer service to every client. We are privileged to have her with our office as she enters her 35th year in the real estate profession.” “I’m like the Nordstrom of real estate. Customer service is everything,” said Raskind, who specializes in fine residential properties in La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Santaluz, the Crosby at Rancho Santa Fe, Carmel Valley and North County golf communities. Raskind won the Five Star Best in Client Satisfaction Award from San Diego Magazine multiple times, as well as Prudential California Realty’s prestigious Legend Award, thanks to her tenacious energy, expertise and commitment to client satisfaction. The San Diego real estate market has entered a rare window of opportunity, she said: “In all my experience, I’ve never seen a better market for both buyers and sellers. Due to low inventory, sellers are getting a good price point for their homes. Buyers, though, are getting loans at interest rates I’ve never seen. I tell these buyers, ‘This is not going to last forever. Now is the time.’ “San Diego coastal properties are still affordable compared to Orange County, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
