Vision of Children instrumental in funding groundbreaking research around the world BY LOIS ALTER MARK As it gets ready for its silver anniversary next year, the Vision of Children Foundation held a special luncheon at the Grand Del Mar March 24 to thank its longtime donors. (See event photos on page 22). The San Diego-based nonprofit has been a driving force in the quest to find a cure for genetically caused eye disorders for almost 25 years. Rancho Santa Fe’s Sam and Vivian Hardage founded Vision of Children when ophthalmologists told them there was no treatment for their son, who was born with ocular albinism type 1 (OA1), a rare and debilitating genetic eye disease. “I thought we’d get it done in six to eight months,” laughed Sam Hardage in his opening speech. “It’s been an incredible journey, and this is the year we’re going to celebrate success.” He thanked donors for being there “today, and always,” and talked about Vision of Children being pioneers in promoting research for hereditary vision disorders. “When we started out, we couldn’t find one researcher,” he said.

Determined to change that, Vision of Children has been instrumental in funding groundbreaking research around the world. The organization has been acknowledged in more than a dozen scientific articles, and is now supporting clinical trials being conducted by Michael Struck, MD, a researcher based at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Vision of Children has also hosted eight World Symposiums on Ocular Albinism and is directly funding five labs globally. All of this has made a tremendous impact. “We’re at cure point!” announced Gary Ostrow, MD, director of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus at Scripps, to wild applause from the audience. “We’re actually starting to repair genes and restore vision.” Although he didn’t want to get too “science-y” for the lay crowd, he described viral vector gene therapy as a breakthrough, and shared his joy about finally being able to offer hope to his patients. “I see 30 kids a week, and trying to help those with congenital eye disease has always been the least rewarding part of my job,” said Ostrow, who also serves on the Vision of Children board. “These children are slowly going blind on my watch, and it’s devastating. Now, I can honestly give them hope.” Also offering hope — with a big dose of humor — was keynote speaker Jeremy Poincenot. One day six years ago, as a 19-year-old sophomore at San Diego State University, Poincenot realized he had to squint in order to read a sign. He went for a check-up and, when he was See VISION, page 21

PRESORTED STANDARD U.S. POSTAGE PAID SAN DIEGO, CA PERMIT 1980

The Santa Fe Irrigation District released the following press release March 31: Worst Drought in California History. The lack of rainfall this year is apparent. Less obvious is that last year was the hottest ever recorded in San Diego dating back to 1895, and it is not letting up. The heat is making the lack of rainfall only worse. The result locally is concerning: the District has no more water in Lake Hodges because of low rainfall. The District will have to depend on imported water which has been impacted by extended drought and the lowest snowpack ever recorded of only 8 percent of average. Water Supply Will Be Cut. The situation statewide is so desperate that officials in Sacramento just issued a second round of mandatory conservation measures. As the extreme drought continues into a fourth year, the District’s water supply will almost certainly be cut by up to 15 percent or so this year and if it is dry next year an additional 15 percent or more. Despite the extreme drought situation, local water use is rising rather than falling. February was an unusually dry and hot month, and the amount of water consumed during this month was the highest it has been in the past decade! Reducing water use will not be easy in this unseasonably See CONSERVATION, page 20

BY ED ZIERALSKI SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW Right now, the sounds of trucks, tractors, graders and a rock-crushing operation fill the morning air at Del Mar, replacing the pastoral sound of running horses. It’s all part of the process to replace the controversial Polytrack with a new dirt track at the storied seaside oval. “The great experiment is coming to a halt,” Del Mar CEO and president Joe Harper said of the synthetic era in Southern California racing. Harper knows he’s opening himself up to critics who will scrutinize the switch from synthetic to dirt. “The fact is, statistically, if you look at the raw data, there are less catastrophic breakdowns on synthetics

RSF Association Board Biz: Keeping you in the loop on Health Club, roads and intersections BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD Health Club: During March we held several focus groups regarding the planning for the proposed Health Club and Pool project. On April 16, we will be holding two communitywide meetings to provide feedback and to hear more input from members regarding their feelings about size, scope, amenities and funding. At that time, we will present an organizational chart of the committee and subcommittee structure with member names; a bar chart schedule with all the various tasks; the feasibility study budget broken down with detail, which will include funds spent to date; a list of the expected deliverables that will be available to the community when we hold the Covenant vote. As of this week, the board has spent about $25,000 of the $350,000 that has been authorized for feasibility study and planning. Meanwhile, Association staff members have been reviewing the RFPs that we have received from four architectural firms. The RFP’s

Ann Boon address Programming (developing the desired list of elements), Site Analysis, Site Planning and Design Development. We have the soils report from when the Players’ Clubhouse was built, and will be updating it in conjunction with a preliminary grading proposal at a later date. This is based on our consultation with the civil engineer. The Finance Committee will review the RFPs at their April meeting and make recommendations to the RSF Association board, which the board will discuss at our May meeting. New teams of volunteers are being organized this week to study the various aspects of the proposed project. Jerry Yahr will be heading up the Design and Engineering team to work

with whichever firm is chosen. Heather Slosar will be heading up the Membership and Marketing team to study the level of member interest and financial commitment, including donations. Mike Licosati will be leading the Finance team, studying the various funding models. We are still aiming for a fall Covenant vote on the project. Please try to attend one of the community meetings on April 16 at the RSF Garden Club. One will be at 10 a.m. and the other will be held at 6:30 p.m. Roads: The Association office receives a lot of complaints every year about the condition of our roads. I have also received emails from members saying they think the Association should spend money on improving our roads rather than on other new projects. Unfortunately, the roads do not belong to our HOA. They are County roads and, as such, the County is in complete control of spending for maintenance. Association staff does work with the County, urging them to allocate funds every year to repave and repair our roads and prioritiz-

ing the roadwork for the County. Association staff actually spends a lot of time on this effort. At the end of the day, however, we are at the mercy of County funding authorities. If you are concerned about your road, you can call the County yourself and describe the situation. Your complaints may help the efforts of our Association staff. Call it the “squeaky wheel” effect. The direct number to San Diego County Road Ser-

vice Request is (877) 6848000. Intersections: At our last board meeting we discussed the Intersection Study Committee report regarding roundabouts versus stoplights at three intersections along the Paseo Delicias/Del Dios corridor. The board determined that before we vote on this issue, we want to hold one more community-wide meeting. Now that we, the board, have become educated on

the design, performance and environmental impact of roundabouts versus stoplights, we want to make sure the community is educated as well. We want all parties to have one more chance to voice their opinions and concerns. The meeting has been scheduled for April 29 at the RSF Garden Club. Notices with more details will be posted and will be run in this paper. Ann.boon@me.com

RSF Fire District, Association join forces to clear brush, trees for improved fire safety The Rancho Santa Fe Association and Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District have teamed to help make the community safer while providing important training for firefighters. Over the past few months, firefighters have spent time on the Association’s Arroyo Property clearing diseased and non-native trees and brush from the riverbed. The goal is to help minimize the fire threat in the riverbed while firefighters earn their tree faller certification. Overgrowth and diseased eucalyptus trees have been a concern for over 10 years. The RSF Fire District and the RSF Association saw an opportunity to address these while providing firefighters with valuable training. The Arroyo Property was agreed upon because of its heavy fuel load. The project began in January with 32 hours of classroom training for each of the firefighters. Capt. Chris Mertz, who attended a tree felling class in Prescott, Ariz., was the instructor. Topics included the proper use and maintenance of chainsaws, felling techniques, and safety precautions. After the classroom instruction, fire crews applied what they learned in the field. Before the practice, Urban Forester Conor Lenehan scouted the area and identified trees to be removed. “By thinning out diseased and smaller, non-native trees, we are able to reduce the fuel load in the riverbed while giving the healthy and larger trees more room to grow,” he explained. Lenehan also pointed out that native trees such as oaks and willows See FIRE, page 20

Rancho Santa Fe doctor to be inducted into UCLA Hall of Fame Dr. Fred Wasserman of Rancho Santa Fe is being honored by the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health on April 1. The UCLA Fielding School of Public Health Alumni Association is honoring its 2015 Alumni Hall of Fame inductees at the 41st Annual Lester Breslow Distinguished Lecture from 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, April 1, with a reception to follow. The event will be at the UCLA Neuroscience Research Building Auditorium, 635 Charles E. Young Drive South, Los Angeles. Wasserman formed a group practice of community physicians in Hawthorne, Calif., in 1973 and developed one of the early federally qualified HMOs. The HMO grew to 2 million members in 26 different states and created the model that is now known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accountable Care Organization.â&#x20AC;? During this time, he introduced family and ob-gyn nurse practitioners, nutritional counseling for pregnant patients, prospective review and quality assurance programs, and established a research program focused on quality and satisfaction with care in an HMO setting. Wasserman, along with his wife Pamela, also taught the first class on HMOs at the Fielding School. He served on the Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advisory Board for more than 20 years and is a member of the Board of Directors of the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology.

Dr. Fred Wasserman Wasserman graduated from the Fielding School with a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in public health degree in health policy and management in 1972, and a doctor of public health degree in 1976.

Roots of Middle East turmoil stretch back to WWI land grab, author contends BY JOE TASH Furious battles rage across the Middle East as insurgents capture territory in Iraq and Syria. Jihadists with tribal allegiances challenge government troops for supremacy. While this could be a snapshot of today’s Middle East, the hostilities described above actually occurred some 100 years ago during World War I, as detailed in the book, “Lawrence in Arabia,” by Scott Anderson (McClelland & Stewart, 2013). Anderson, a veteran war correspondent, novelist and non-fiction author, was the featured speaker at the March 19 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at the Grand Del Mar Resort in Carmel Valley. Anderson’s book focuses on the exploits of T.E. Lawrence, a low-ranking British officer who became internationally famous as a battlefield commander for Arab rebels in clashes with soldiers of the Ottoman Empire — based in what is today Istanbul, Turkey — and helping to bring down that centuriesold imperial power. Lawrence, an archaeologist with no formal military training, captured the public’s imagination through his wartime adventures, his later writings and such films as “Lawrence of Arabia,” the Oscar-winning 1962 biopic by director David Lean. One theme of the book is that Britain and France, which greedily grabbed territory in the Middle East after the WWI Allied victory despite promising independence and autonomy to the Arab fighters who supported their war effort, created the conditions that led to today’s discord in the region. “The modern Middle East was largely created by the British,” wrote Anderson. “It was they who carried the Allied war effort in the region during World War I and who, at its close, principally fashioned its peace. It was a peace presaged by the nickname given the region by covetous Allied leaders in wartime: ‘the Great Loot.’” Essentially, argues Anderson, Britain urged Arab rebels to rise up against the Ottomans, to fight and die for the Allied cause, in exchange for a promise of an independent Arab state after the war. At the same time, however, Britain and France made a secret pact parceling out the same land between themselves. France was to get Syria and modern-day Lebanon, while Britain laid claim to Palestine and Iraq. The resentments sparked by that betrayal carry over to this day, Anderson contended in an interview before his Literary Society speech.

“It created a culture of grievance throughout the Arab world against the West that’s never gone away,” he said. As for Lawrence, who dressed in Arab garb and embedded himself with the rebels, he made two main contributions, said Anderson. “I think if Lawrence hadn’t been there, the Arab revolt would have collapsed,” he said. Also, “He foresaw disaster if the British and French tried to impose their Western, Christian imperial rule on the Muslim-Arab world.” But his warnings fell on deaf ears. “He’s the siren that wasn’t listened to,” said Anderson. In seeking to avert disaster and achieve his own vision of Arab autonomy, Lawrence went so far as to commit treason by telling his Arab counterpart, Emir Faisal ibn Hussein, about the secret accord between Britain and France, according to Anderson’s book. The book also touches on Lawrence’s own strange personality traits, such as his emotional coldness, even toward his own family members. After the war, Lawrence refused a knighthood offered by the king and queen of England — literally walking out of a ceremony staged in his honor at Buckingham Palace — and reportedly enjoyed placing one of the medals he had won around the neck of his friend’s dog, and walking the animal around his Oxford neighborhood. At the end of the war, Lawrence held the rank of lieutenant colonel, but, seeking obscurity, he changed his name and re-enlisted as a private. He died in 1935 at age 46, just a couple of months after retiring from the military, from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident. Anderson said he decided to write the book after spending much of the past 25 years as a correspondent in the Middle East. Whenever he had a conversation about the roots of today’s turmoil in the Middle East, he said, invariably people pointed to the peace terms and borders imposed by the Allies at the end of World War I. Even the terrorist group Islamic State or ISIS has stated that it wants to undo the borders created by the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the secret land-grab deal between Britain and France, Anderson said. Mainstream Muslim groups may fear and loathe ISIS, said Anderson, but they’d probably agree with the terrorist group’s position on Sykes-Picot. “It touches a chord in people,” he said.

WE’D LIKE TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU, MANY TIMES OVER.

To the many thousands of Carmel Valley residents who studied the facts and supported us all through the approval process, a heartfelt thank you. We’re excited about moving forward and creating something amazing, and contributing to the quality of life and abundance of choice here in coastal North County.

Parents of accused Colorado shooter focus on prayer as they await his trial BY JOE TASH Arlene Holmes started writing in her prayer journal in 2013, as a private way of dealing with the stress in the months after her son, James, was arrested and charged with fatally shooting 12 people and wounding dozens more in a Colorado movie theater. But she decided to make her prayers public — in a self-published book called “When the Focus Shifts” — as a way of drawing attention to her opposition to the death penalty, especially for the mentally ill, and her advocacy for improved treatment for those with severe mental disorders. The slim volume, taken almost verbatim from the pages of her handwritten journals, contains her prayers and pleas on such topics as sympathy for the shooting victims, her own feelings of guilt and the sleepless nights she has endured since that fatal day nearly three years ago. The book was published March 9, and is available in print and digital form on Amazon.com and other websites. Proceeds will be donated to support mental health services.

“I think it was very courageous of Arlene. It’s a very personal book for her. I’m hoping it helps other people who have kids with mental illness,” said her husband, Bob Holmes. The Holmeses, who live in Rancho Peñasquitos, granted their first media interview recently to discuss the book, their fervent hope that their son does not receive the death penalty, and how they are coping with the tragedy of the Colorado shooting and their son’s role in it, as his capital murder trial approaches. Opening arguments are expected to begin April 27 in Arapahoe County District Court in Colorado. Among the prayers contained in the book is one for prosecutors who are handling James Holmes’ case. “I do not know what you have been through in life. I do not know why you want to pursue execution of a mentally ill man. But I pray for you, so that you will find peace in your life. I pray you will change your mind. Please stop this quest for death so you may focus on those who are alive,” Arlene wrote. In another, she wrote that she prays for the vic-

Arlene and Bob Holmes Photo by Joe Tash tims daily: “Please, victims, please, feel my prayers. I pray for you by name.” The couple turned to their church immediately after the 5:30 a.m. call on July 20, 2012, when their lives changed forever as they learned about the shooting from a reporter. Before that day, they had lived a normal life in the northern San Diego suburb, working and raising their children: son James and daughter Chris. Bob, 64, retired in 2014 after a career as an analytic scientist with a financial services firm. Arlene, 60, is a registered nurse, and continues to work parttime at a North County hospital. Their daughter is a college student. On that morning in 2012, Arlene said she thought, “Who can I call, who will drop everything and come and do something, help us cope? I knew if I called the church

The Holmes family in 1994. Courtesy photo they would come.” Along with support and prayer, she said, her church is taking up the cause of improving care for the mentally ill. “This is starting to be a mission for churches in general,” she said. Arlene and Bob know the trial will dredge up painful memories for the victims, relatives of the dead and themselves. Even so, they are determined to attend. “He is our son. We will go,” she said. But they continue to hold out hope that the district attorney will change his mind and accept a defense offer of a guilty plea in exchange for a sentence of life without parole, which they said would spare everyone the ordeal of a trial expected to last until Labor Day. “He (the DA) could do it right now, to-

day,” said Arlene. “This would all come to a grinding halt if (James) could plead guilty, and the DA would accept the plea for life without parole.” A trial and subsequent potential appeals, said Bob, “delays the healing process for years and that’s what can be avoided … a lot of pain and suffering by the victims.” The potential death penalty makes it even worse, the couple said. “My basic feeling is it’s immoral to have a state kill its own citizens, no matter what they did,” Arlene said. “I’ve always thought it was wrong. Now I’ve had a lot of time to think about it, and how much it hurts people.” As the trial approaches, the couple continue to agonize over what, if anything, they could have done to get help for their son and possibly prevent the shooting. “That’s some of the guilt we have, that we didn’t recognize he was ill and needed treatment,” Arlene said. Since the shooting, she said, she has tried to educate herself about mental illness, and one of the things she has learned is that brain disorders start early. While they are limited in what they can say about their son before the trial, Arlene said, “Our kid was quiet, compliant, obeyed all the rules. He never bothered anyone, he never harmed anyone. That’s a teacher’s dream. So they’re not going to earmark him as a problem child.” Growing up, James showed no affinity for guns, according to his parents, although news reports said he was heavily armed at the time of the theater shooting. “We never owned a gun and (James) showed no interest in guns,” said Arlene. “This was definitely a function of his mental illness,” said Bob. Once the trial is over, said Arlene, she would like to speak at college campuses about the need for more effective mental health services. For now, though, the family is bracing for the trial. “I’m trying not to dread it, but it’s just looming there,” said Bob. “I’m just trying to get through each day.” Arlene said she will look to prayer to get through the pain and anguish of the legal proceedings, as well as seeking comfort for the victims and her own family. “Because so many people like to blame the parents if a child is mentally ill, we have to reaffirm to ourselves every day that we were good parents and good people, and this still happened anyway,” she said.

Omens takes a lot of inspiration from her deep connection with nature, focusing on the spiritual meanings behind animals and sharing messages about environmental issues. After attending art school in the 1970s, Omens thought she might have a hard time making a living, so she became a flight attendant with American Airlines. She became a stay-at-home Rancho Santa Fe artist Annie Omens specializes in digital art.

Layers of pieces in the show include images of butterflies, passion flowers from her backyard, textured fabrics, the face of an antique Japanese mask, an agave plant drenched in the bright colors of Mexico, and a lizard she found in her front yard. “I like putting a mysterious and spiritual aspect to my work,” Omens said. “I just have fun with it and combine things.” Many of her photos were taken in her treasured Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, where she used to live in Murrieta. “There’s so much nature there, and the nature is not intimidated by people,” Omens said. She recalls photographing a still bluebird from 10 feet away, and snapping a shot of a rattlesnake in the front yard, standing on a rock over the snake. “My heart was pounding,” Omens said.

Local charter sailing business prepares to cast off BY KAREN BILLING A local couple is getting ready to launch their new charter sailing company, Espiritu Santi Luxury Catamaran Tours. Patty Zamora and Santiago Becerra hope to take people out on their 57-foot catamaran Espiritu Santi for bay cruises, corporate outings, photo shoots and even overnight trips to Catalina. Zamora is a former communications executive who worked for CNN, Qualcomm, Novatel Wireless and Life Technologies (now Thermo Fisher Scientific), and Becerra is a software development executive at MeLLmo in Solana Beach, with a background in video game development. He developed Angelo Studio, which was acquired by Rockstar Games, and then founded a business software development company that was purchased by the French company Business Objects. Becerra has lived in his local home since 2006, but the pair have been in San Diego since 1990, when they were both attending UC San Diego. They dated in college but didn’t reconnect until four years ago, after both had been married and divorced. “We picked up right where it left off, and we were married last July,” Zamora said. Zamora has gotten more into sailing since being with Becerra, enjoying being out on the ocean, sailing to spots like Cabo San Lucas and taking their three children, Sophia, Nicholas and James, on snorkeling adventures. “(The boat) is really special,” Zamora said. “Santi always had a dream of having a boat.” After leaving the video game industry, Becerra had a boat all picked out, but he did not have the funds yet. He called the designer and asked him to send the blueprints, vowing he would buy the boat one day. The blueprint was framed in his office as he worked on his start-up software development company. When he got lucky and sold the company four years later, he gave the designer a call. At the time, the designer was building out of a South African shipyard, but it had collapsed because of economic distress. Because it was very expensive to build in the U.S., Becerra suggested a boatyard in Chile. The boat designer loved the suggestion and paired with the builder in what would be a fruitful relationship: They built eight more boats together after Espiritu Santi was completed in 2007. The boat has four queen-size berths (bedrooms), two heads (bathrooms), and a fully equipped galley (kitchen and lounge). “It makes for a very relaxing retreat,” Zamora said. “It’s very comfortable.” In 2011, Becerra challenged himself by racing in the Transpacific Yacht Club’s Transpac Honolulu Race, an intense 12-day sailing from California to Hawaii, the longest trip he’d ever done. He and his six-member crew ended up winning their class in the race. In the middle of their increasingly busy lives and raising their children, last year the couple considered selling the boat. They even had a buyer lined up. But at the end of 2014, they had the “a-ha moment” — whenever they took people out sailing, they always had

Holy Week events at the Village Church The week leading to Easter is considered by Christians to be the holiest time of the year. This Holy Week, the Village Church of Rancho Santa Fe will host a Maundy Thursday worship service from 7-8 p.m. Thursday, April 2 , where communion will be celebrated. Large crowds are expected for the annual Easter services on Sunday, April 5, to be held at 7 a.m., 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. New to the Easter services will be a simultaneous gathering at the church’s Fellowship Center for school-age children called “Children’s Jubilee” during the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services. Child care for toddlers and infants will be provided for all services. The Children’s Jubilee will feature an age-appropriate Easter service, crafts, and snacks. “We welcome everyone this Holy Week to the Village Church as we celebrate that Jesus Christ is the risen Savior and Lord of the world,” says the Rev. Dr. Jack Baca, senior pastor of the Village Church. “Maundy Thursday and Easter are special, holy gatherings to receive God’s love, to renew our hope, and to share faith. Easter is always jam-packed, with thousands coming to the church campus to celebrate the good news of God. Come join us!” All events will be at the Village Church’s campus, 6225 Paseo Delicias in Rancho Santa Fe. For more information, visit www.villagechurch.org or contact (858) 756-2441

Why not consider doing it as a business? “Having the business will give us a good reason to get out on the boat more often,” Becerra said. Since January, they have been in the lengthy process of starting the charter business. Becerra had to get his U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s License, and Zamora became ordained to do weddings on the boat. “If I can get through it … I might be the one crying!” she said. To start, they will be limited to six people; but as their certification is completed with the Coast Guard, they will be able to take up to 30 people. As the business gets ready to launch, interested parties can get on the mailing list and request advance bookings for the summer. For information, visit espiritusanti.com or call 888-488-SAIL.

Capt. Mike Shore retires from Rancho Santa Fe Fire Department after 30 years After 30 years of serving the communities of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, Capt. Mike Shore has retired from the RSF Fire District. His last day with the district was Feb. 3, 2015. He will be taking a position with the Valley Center Fire District. Shore began his firefighting career in 1985 as a volunteer with the Solana Beach Fire District, which was part of a joint powers authority with the Rancho Santa Fe district at the time. A licensed contractor, he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planned on pursing a full-time career in the fire service, but he started to feel something was missing from his life. Nick Pavone, who was a captain at the time and later became fire chief before his retirement from the district in 2010, persuaded Shore to apply for a student position with the fire district. He officially joined the district in September 1985. Pavone recently commented that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in the fire service is a result of his ability to utilize his life experiences, knowledge, and personality to analyze situations and take the best course of action. He has a great personality, (is) very motivated and has numerous contributions to the district during his years of service.â&#x20AC;? His first assignment was at the Village Park Station (now an Encinitas station), and over the years, he eventually worked out of each fire station within the district. He was promoted to engineer in 1990, a position he felt was a really good fit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a passion for driving,â&#x20AC;? Shore explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and for 20 years as engineer I got to drive.â&#x20AC;? He eventually relinquished the

wheel to another engineer when he was promoted to captain in 2005. During his career with the district, Shore went above and beyond the day-today duties associated with being a firefighter. Perhaps one of his popular and public accomplishments was starting the annual pancake breakfast in 1989, a tradition that continues today. More behind the scenes, he served as the president of the firefighters association; oversaw the DMV program; was responsible for hose testing, maintenance, and inventory; ran the engine company inspection program; and conducted background investigations on potential employees for the fire district, as well as for the Encinitas, Del Mar, and Solana Beach fire departments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mike was a huge help with the background investigations, especially having a background in law enforcement,â&#x20AC;? stated Battalion Chief and Training Officer Bret Davidson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He also built the sand table which we use in training quite frequently.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was our project guy,â&#x20AC;? added Deputy Chief Fred Cox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Construction, electrical, remodels, you name it. If there was a project that needed to be done, Mike would step in and make sure it was done and done well.â&#x20AC;? For his efforts, Shore was named Firefighter of the Year in 1991 and again in 2011. Shoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to retire from the district was not easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no plans to retire, but an opportunity to help grow an established department under a new management team came up. Going to Valley Center is a good chance to use my experience to

help another district grow.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mike Shore was a great asset to this district and the community, and he will be greatly missed,â&#x20AC;? said Fire Chief Tony Michel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His talents, energy, and humor all contributed to his success at the district. Fortunately, the fire service in North San Diego County will continue to benefit from his talents and skills as he continues his passion of serving, just in a new community.â&#x20AC;? Added Deputy Chief Mike Gibbs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mike was always my go-to guy. No matter what the project or task, he was always there to help or take the lead in its organization or implementation. Mike left his mark in the community and on the culture of our organization; he will be missed.â&#x20AC;? Formed in 1946, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District now spans approximately 38 square miles and protects more than 29,000 citizens. The fire district operates out of four full-time fire stations and serves the communities within and around Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, and 4S Ranch.

California water crisis discussion to be held at RSF Democratic Club meeting April 9 The Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club will present a panel of experts at its next meeting April 9 who will address the severity of the California drought, its impact on the environment, the potential economic implications, and our political and personal options.

Two take honors at RSF Toastmasters

The Grand Del Mar, one of the county’s most luxurious resorts, will undergo a change of ownership and be overseen by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. UT File photo

Grand Del Mar hotel to be sold, rebranded BY LORI WEISBERG, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW The Grand Del Mar, one of the county’s top five-star resorts, is being sold this week to the Fairmont Hotels chain and a Northern California investor, although owner “Papa”Doug Manchester will retain a minority stake. The deal is expected to close March 31 (after press time for this newspaper), said Manchester Financial Group President Dick Gibbons. Manchester is also publisher of U-T San Diego. As part of the change in management, the hotel will be rebranded as the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. While the actual purchase price was not disclosed, Gibbons said that together, financier Richard Blum’s private equity firm, Blum Capital, and Fairmont’s parent company, FRHI Hotels & Resorts group, will be acquiring an 88 percent share of the resort, valued at $230 million. Manchester, who opened the 249-room Carmel Valley hotel in October 2007, will retain a 12 percent interest. “This represents a diversification of our investments and is an opportunity to invest with Blum Capital and Fairmont,” Gibbons said. “The affiliation with Fairmont’s world-

wide marketing efforts is a strong contribution, and the relationship with Blum Capital is a strong one for this transaction and future transactions.” Blum, husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., partnered last year with FRHI, which operates Fairmont and other luxury brands, to purchase the Claremont Hotel Club & Spa in Northern California. “The acquisition of the Grand Del Mar, one of the most revered luxury hotels in the United States, aligns with our investment strategy and perfectly complements Fairmont’s unrivaled portfolio of hotels in the California market and abroad,” said Blum, president of Blum Capital. “We look forward to showcasing this remarkable asset to an even greater audience and working with a celebrated brand like Fairmont to further enhance the property’s award-winning reputation.” Fairmont will also be managing Manchester Texas Financial Group’s new 1,066room convention hotel in Austin, due to open in June. Manchester Texas Financial is a subsidiary of Manchester Financial Group. For more on this story, visit www.utsandiego.com/news/2015/mar/27/tp-granddel-mar-hotel-to-be-sold-rebranded/

BY WALTER COYLE, M.D. It’s not something most people want to talk about, but by age 50, everyone should have a conversation with their doctors about colorectal cancer. Here’s what you need to know about this serious, but often preventable, disease. 1. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in the United States. This is true for both men and women. Colorectal cancer will affect about 1 in 20 people. Women have a slightly lower risk than men of developing the disease. The American Cancer Society estimates that 93,090 new cases of colon cancer and 39,610 new cases of rectal cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year. 2. Colorectal cancer develops slowly, with few early signs or symptoms. Colorectal cancer almost always starts with an abnormal growth known as a polyp in the colon or rectum. Not all polyps are malignant, but those that are tend to grow slowly, often taking 10 years to become cancerous. This is why there are often few symptoms during the early stages of the disease. As it progresses, symptoms may include blood in the stool, rectal bleeding, or a change in bowel habits that lasts for a few days or more, such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool. If you notice any of these symptoms, call your doctor. Other conditions may cause these symptoms, so it is important to identify the cause and get treatment. 3. Screening may prevent colorectal cancer. Because polyps in the colon or rectum grow so slowly, the goal is to find and remove them before they become cancerous. There are several types of colorectal screening tests; some detect only potentially cancerous growths, while others detect and remove them. A colonoscopy is considered the “gold standard” of colorectal screening. The procedure is performed while you are sedated, so you do not feel or see anything. The doctor inserts a flexible tube with a small camera into the rectum to examine the entire length of the colon; if precancerous polyps are found, they often can be removed during the procedure. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a similar procedure that uses a shorter tube to view

only the lower third of the colon. Medicare and most insurance companies cover these tests for people age 50 and older. Because the colon needs to be empty for these procedures, you must drink only clear liquids for 24 hours and take laxatives while drinking large amounts of liquid. If you have difficulty with this, your doctor may be able to reduce the amount of liquid you need to drink. A fecal immunochemical test (FIT), analyzes a stool sample for signs of cancer. No prep is necessary; however, this test is not as thorough as a colon exam, and if cancer is suspected, a colonoscopy may be needed. Stool DNA testing has received a lot of media coverage recently and is now covered by Medicare. This test is better than the FIT stool test for detecting colon cancer and does not require any prep, but it is expensive and is falsely positive 10 percent of the time. Further study is required to determine how we are going to use it in clinical practice. Some tests, such as a virtual or CT colonoscopy, are not covered by Medicare or most insurance health plans. 4. Everyone should be screened by age 50 — or earlier. An initial colonoscopy screening is recommended for everyone at age 50; about nine out of 10 people diagnosed with colorectal cancer are at least 50 years old. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or risk factors such as inflammatory bowel disease, your doctor may recommend having your first screening at a younger age. For African-Americans, who for unknown reasons have a 20 percent higher risk for colorectal cancer, the American College of Gastroenterology recommends a first screening at age 45. For most people, colonoscopy screenings should be repeated every 10 years. 5. A colonoscopy can save your life. Unfortunately, only about 60 percent of people in the United States who should be screened actually have the test. Many may be put off by the preparation required. However, it is a small price to pay for a procedure that can be life-saving. According to the American College of Gastroenterology, cancer risk is reduced by 90 percent after a colo-

noscopy and the removal of precancerous polyps. In addition, a national study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine found a 53 percent lower death rate from colorectal cancer among people who had a colonoscopy and a precancerous polyp removed, compared with the general population. Many patients were followed for 20 years. Talk to your doctor about when you should be screened.

CONSERVATION

dry, warm weather. Even though the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many large properties require significant amounts of water, customers must find ways to reduce use compared to previous years like everyone else in the state. The collective failure to cut back water use in large portions of the community is attracting statewide negative attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saving water means saving our property values,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Bardin, general manager of the SFID. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The District is working on creating new local water sources, but before they can come online, local residents must conserve our limited supply to preserve this precious asset. Water savings is in our hands. Thinking conservation and converting to drought-tolerant landscaping is critical.â&#x20AC;? Customers must comply with the Level 2 mandatory water shortage requirements. These include assigned days for watering (ODD addresses on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and EVEN addresses Monday, Wednesday, Saturday) as well as limitations on irrigation time on lawns to 10 minutes for each watering station, no washing of hard surfaces, prohibition of overspray and waste, including runoff, and more. The Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing conservation rules already cover most of the state requirements, except for the mandate to not irrigate within 48 hours of measurable rainfall. Please see the Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website for details of the mandatory conservation measures: www.sfidwater.org. Contact the District to obtain a free Water Saving Checkup, which can help customers reduce water waste by 20 percent or more. To help customers meet the Water Savings Challenge, the District offers numerous programs, including a new Water Sav-

FIRE

ings Checkup focused on helping those with large properties use water more efficiently. But there are also water savings programs for commercial, multifamily, industrial, public or smaller single-family properties. The Water Saving Checkup program sends certified landscape professionals to check irrigation systems and other water use, and provide detailed estimates of repairs and water efficiency upgrades. There is no cost or obligation and the report provides everything customers need to save water. For more information about all the Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water conservation programs or to apply for a free Checkup, please visit www.sfidwater.org/checkup. If some residents are not conserving with the hope that they are positioning themselves for better water allocations if the drought continues, please understand that if the District were to go to allocations, the basis would not be water consumption for this year. The District is undertaking a comprehensive drought and water supply program. The program includes: 1) evaluating recycled water supply options with other local agencies; 2) undertaking an Advanced Water Purification Study, which will evaluate the feasibility and cost of taking recycled wastewater and treating it to potable water use levels; 3) conducting a rate study that will consider new tiers to promote water conservation and identify the rates needed to fund alternative water supply efforts. The District will provide extensive outreach on these programs as they progress, as well as provide numerous opportunities for the public to learn more and provide input.

were not being removed. Once the trees have been felled, the Association is removing them either as firewood or chipping them into mulch, which in turn allows the Fire District to do more felling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had to remove the wood, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to do as much training,â&#x20AC;? said Mertz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really appreciate the Association splitting the work load with us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were happy to work with the Fire District to clean up areas of the Arroyo Property,â&#x20AC;? said Arnold Keene, field operations manager for the Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both organizations want a safer community and this was a way to accomplish that while benefiting the Association, the Fire District, and the environment.â&#x20AC;? The training was completed in mid-March, before the start of bird nesting season. Firefighters will then receive their Federal Class A Faller certification. This will allow them to serve as tree fallers on major wildland fires.

She likes to frequent zoos and botanical gardens and exotic-animal reserves, like one she found in Ramona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take photos through the fences and bring back them back to life by putting them into a believable environment or not, one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more fantastical or mystical,â&#x20AC;? she said. Omens has come a long way since her art school days, working in a black room to develop her photographs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The darkroom is a very romantic kind of place, with the red lights and bubbling water,â&#x20AC;? Omens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I appreciate not working with the toxic chemicals anymore, and I can get so much more done faster. (Digital) is a very elegant way to work, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very efficient way to work.â&#x20AC;? She happily trades toxic chemicals for carpal tunnel, converting hours to minutes. A longtime equestrian, for many years Omens trained for competitive horse shows in jumping and dressage, although she recently retired. Omens is also a collector of ancient Tibetan bowls, she has led Mandala circular art classes where she plays the ancient bowls while participants work in a meditative, artful experience. Most of all, she enjoys the work in her studio, graduating from her makeshift studio in her daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; old rooms to the spacious guest house of her Rancho Santa Fe home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked really hard all my life to finally be able to produce a body of work to show and sell,â&#x20AC;? Omens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like a complete circle, or a wonderful second beginning almost. I just like getting my art out there.â&#x20AC;? The show at the Encinitas Civic Center is at 505 S. Vulcan Ave. To view her work, visit annieomens.com.

nearly $5 million project and tends to any issues that come up. This is a veteran track man who has put in dirt surfaces all over the world, at Hollywood Park, in Cyprus and Saudi Arabia, and scores of training tracks for private ranchers. But clearly, this is the big one for Tedesco. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacing a synthetic surface and all of its complex infrastructure with El Segundo sand, all done at sea level. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a track that sports a 2 percent grade on straightaways, 4 percent grade on turns, with horizontal drainage as opposed to vertical drainage required by the flat Polytrack. For this dirt track, drainage is a big issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Believe me, if you dig a hole out here and leave it overnight, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have water in it the next day,â&#x20AC;? Tedesco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have such a high water table. We found spongy areas weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to protect. But we took care of all of them. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not worried about them now.â&#x20AC;? Tedesco saved money by having anyone who wanted the Polytrack haul it away. He put an ad on Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s List and put up fliers around horse country in North County, advertising the free synthetic. He also took the rock base used for drainage under the Polytrack and turned the material over to the contractor. The contractor is breaking it up into three different sizes, the smallest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; decomposed granite or DG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is being used under the new track. The other two sizes of rock will be sold. Tedescoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline to have this track complete actually is much sooner than when the many strings of horses arrive for the summer meeting in July. Next month, horses will start treading on part of the new track for the 70th annual Del Mar National Horse Show that starts April 19 with Western Week. On May 28, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Barretts May Sale, and the entire track will be used for previewing horses. And finally, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the arrival of a couple of thousand horses for the big show, the Del Mar summer meeting. The 2017 Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup is more than two years away, but Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scope clearly is focusing on those two big racing days in November 2017 when Del Mar will sport a dramatically different look. That starts this summer with the El Segundo sand contrasted by the greener turf course, a year older with deeper roots and lusher color. Tedesco said the infield will be improved greatly by Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup in 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even put pipe in for all the TV and communication lines and everything they need for the Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup and beyond for big racing days,â&#x20AC;? Tedesco said, pointing along the outside rail along the trackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to raise the track, especially back at the far end (1 1/4-mile starting gate). Our carpenter, Corky Rimer, has done a great job with that.â&#x20AC;? Tedesco said the Del Mar winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle will be raised this year to match the track, but it will be redone on a larger scale before the Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup. Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s El Segundo Sand is the same surface used at Santa Anita Park. And with Los Alamitos having a dirt track, horses will be training and running on dirt, not going from one kind of synthetic to another or from synthetic to dirt.

VISION

told to cover his left eye, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I assumed Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d need big Steve Urkel glasses,â&#x20AC;? said Poincenot, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been OK because Martin Scorsese makes them look cool.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, glasses werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the answer. And after a number of misdiagnoses, Poincenot was told he had Leberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hereditary optic neuropathy, a rare and untreatable disease that occurs in 1 in 50,000 people. Within two months, he went from having perfect vision to being declared legally blind. Poincenot no longer had any central vision, and he compares this condition to a doughnut: he can see peripherally, but nothing in the middle. He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive, distinguish faces or read without assistive technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt completely sorry for myself and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get out of bed,â&#x20AC;? he remembered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was happier in my dreams, where I could still see perfectly, than when I woke up to the harsh reality of being legally blind.â&#x20AC;? Everything changed when Poincenot heard about a small-plane crash, in which the pilot survived and the rest of his family died. The pilot asked, during a TV interview, whether anyone could help him learn how to move forward after this tragedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a huge reality check for me,â&#x20AC;? said Poincenot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This man lost his whole family, yet he still wanted to go on.â&#x20AC;? Around the same time, Poincenotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother learned about Vision of Children and about the U.S. Blind Golf Association. Both were life-changing for Poincenot. As someone who was on the SDSU varsity golf team for three years and who bonded over the game with his father every Sunday, not being able to play was devastating. The pair entered their first tournament, where, Poincenot said, he took credit for the good shots and blamed his dad for the bad ones. When he met fellow golfer John Casolo at the National Championship, he experienced another reality check. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I shot a 97 and John shot a 324! That is outrageously bad,â&#x20AC;? said Poincenot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he just said he had a great day and was happy. Now, whenever Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m upset, I always think, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How would John handle this?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? With his dad as his guide, Poincenot went on to win the World Blind Golf Championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We won it as a team,â&#x20AC;? he insisted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was such a thrill, everything was a blur. No pun intended.â&#x20AC;? Poincenot also won over the audience as he marveled over the opportunities he is thankful to have received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been flown to Japan and China to raise awareness,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I was featured on a segment of 20/20 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is kind of ironic, if you think about it.â&#x20AC;? His warmth and relatability make him an inspiration to kids going through similar challenges â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and make him the perfect Vision Hero Ambassador for Vision of Children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to appreciate what I have rather than dwell on what I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have,â&#x20AC;? said Poincenot, causing the audience to rise to its feet. Not one to end on a mushy note, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonder if the people in the back are thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Does the blind guy even know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m standing?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Vision of Children Foundation hosts Donor Recognition event The Vision of Children Foundation (VOC) hosted a special event March 24 at The Grand Del Mar to thank its long-time donors. VOC is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization based in San Diego that has been a driving force in the quest to find a cure for genetically-caused eye disorders for nearly 25 years. The Foundation also aims to improve the lives of visually-impaired children and their families. By featuring young people who have overcome their vision challenges through its recently launched Vision Hero Series, the foundation hopes to inspire children to dream big and never give up. The keynote speaker at the March 24 event was VOCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vision Hero Ambassador â&#x20AC;&#x201D; San Diego native Jeremy Poincenot. See story on page 1 of this newspaper.

Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental, physical health part of Hoehn Motorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; maintenance program BY KELLEY CARLSON Hoehn Motors not only maintains vehicles, it maintains employees, too. The family-owned and -operated company â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which has 12 stores in Carlsbad Car Country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; provides a wellness program for its approximately 450 staffers. The offerings are designed to benefit employees physically and mentally, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yoga classes or a making a call to the corporate chaplain for support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (Bill and Bob Hoehn) always real cognizant of the fact that when employees feel appreciated and valued, they tend to be the most productive,â&#x20AC;? said Josh Sherman, Hoehnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive manager and marketing director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I go to managers meetings, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m constantly hearing my father-in-law (Bill) ask if employees are flourishing. â&#x20AC;Ś He always encourages our managers to do things to make the employees feel more appreciated.â&#x20AC;? This often involves trying out new ideas and continuing with the ones that click with workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to be progressive in what we do, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a large corporation,â&#x20AC;? Sherman noted. One of the most recent ideas implemented involved Hoehnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increased representation in the Carlsbad 5000, held March 29. For the third consecutive year, the company was an event sponsor, but 2015 marked the first time that it actively encouraged its employees to train for the race. Two staffers stepped up and agreed to be coaches, and others rallied around the idea of exercising together. Several other employees man-

aged the workouts, developed race T-shirts, coordinated a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gear eventâ&#x20AC;? for employees with a local running store, and communicated race-day logistics with their co-workers, Sherman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we had employees who liked to run, but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that by empowering them to organize (the training) internally ... it would have a wildfire-spreading effect,â&#x20AC;? he said. On any given afternoon leading up to the Carlsbad 5000, he said employees could be seen running around Car Country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Training for the Carlsbad 5000, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost 20 pounds, my blood pressure is down, and mentally, I feel super-fantabulous!â&#x20AC;? said Brandy Darr of Hoehn Mercedes-Benz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been great training with my co-workers. Just being able to encourage one another to push a little harder and go a little further has forged strong relationships. I feel very blessed to have such amazing people that are so encouraging in my life.â&#x20AC;? More than 85 Hoehn workers signed up, which is 15 percent to 20 percent of the employee base, Sherman said. While the Carlsbad 5000 is an annual event, employees can participate in various other physical activities throughout the year. For example, they can relax and become centered through yoga and Pilates classes that are taught at Hoehnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various locations. Also, once each month, Hoehn workers are invited to go on a ride with the Swamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cycling Club, which the company helps sponsor. While keeping physically fit is important, Hoehn also places a strong emphasis See HOEHN, page B17

Hearty laughs ahead in ‘Buyer & Cellar’ at The Globe

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER “Diva” has a lot of different meanings, all of which a young man who gets an opportunity to be close to a megastar experiences, and no one can anticipate the thrills and perils of such an unequal relationship. The comedy unfolds in Jonathan Tolins’ “Buyer & Cellar,” a hit Off Broadway, which continues The Old Globe’s 80th Anniversary festivities as part of the Balboa Park Centennial Celebration. Ron Lagomarsino directs David Turner in this funny one-man show. Lagomarsino has helmed everything from Broadway and regional theatrical productions to more than 40 TV films and shows, including “Ally McBeal,” “The Unit,” “Homefront,” “The Fosters,” “Pretty Little Liars,” and “Picket Fences,” for which he garnered a Directors Guild of America award. He had several reasons for wanting to direct “Buyer & Cellar.” “I’ve done a lot of comedy in my career, as well as drama, and this is such a funny and wonderful play,”

Ron Lagomarsino (left) directs David Turner (right) in Jonathan Tolins’ ‘Buyer & Cellar,’ April 4-May 3 at The Old Globe. CREDIT: Jim Cox Lagomarsino said. “It also aligned me with The Old Globe for the first time.” Lagomarsino collaborated with Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein for casting. He wanted someone who was really funny, really smart, and a great actor. Edelstein looked to one of the Globe associate producers, Eric Louie, and they agreed it would be a great role for David Turner. Several candidates were in the running, but after Lagomarsino met Turner, he knew Turner was the one for this role. “I felt pretty darn lucky,” Turner said. “It’s actually the first time in my life I’ve been asked to do something just on faith, and I’m very grateful for that. Once I saw the play, I was dying to do it.” Turner (Broadway’s “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever,” “Sunday in the Park with George”) plays Alex Moore, an out-of-work actor who lands a job that turns out to be far more than he expected. He’s employed by Barbra Streisand

to work in her collection of memorabilia shops in the lower level of her Malibu home. “I play all six characters in the story,” Turner said. “It’s not much different than the work I’d do for any play, but instead of doing it once, I have to do it six times. I don’t change costumes, so I have to figure out where these people are from, what they are like, and tell the story in the clearest way possible.” Lagomarsino added, “The challenge is, he has to turn on a dime and carry on a dialogue between these different characters. It’s a real tour de force for an actor, and that’s part of the challenge in telling this story, but also part of the fun in creating the illusion.” Turner likened the play to a radio drama. “Because what you’re really doing is calling on the audience from the very beginning to activate its imagination. I tell them right off the bat, ‘You will be needed to see things and hear things that are not here. I will do my best, but you are the missing piece of this fantasy and you need to do the work.’ That’s what makes the play so fun and exciting … people see what we ask them to see, and it’s more real than if you had a Barbra Streisand impersonator here.” Despite the laughs, Turner said the play looks at why people are so fascinated by celebrities. “And not just from our point of view, but the pressure it puts on celebrities as well,” he said. Lagomarsino said he didn’t want anything to be literal, so set designer Erik Flatmo created sort of an “L.A.-scape,” a cool vibe so the audience can see David describing the characters. “Although this is a work of fiction, we want the audience to feel it’s actually true,” he said. “Buyer & Cellar,” runs April 4-May 3 at the White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

CCA students create art for T’bird convention As president of the San Diego chapter of the Classic Thunderbird organization, Alan Cutsinger is responsible for helping to organize the 2016 International Thunderbird Convention, which will take place in San Diego from Sept. 13-18, 2016 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Mission Valley. The bi-annual convention, which draws thousands of members from over 15 countries, has never been held in this city. When Cutsinger was tasked with finding a logo for the convention, his wife, Kate, immediately thought of contacting art The winning entry, by Jennie Wang. students at Canyon Crest Academy. “My son, Ben Bush, graduated from CCA in 2014. He was a sound tech for the theatre department when he was a student there. We have seen how talented the kids at CCA are, and we just knew they’d be able to create something really special for the Thunderbird Convention.” They felt that working with CCA students would be a great way to give the students an opportunity to publish their artwork, and for the Cutsingers to give back to the school. Alan Cutsinger contacted Rachel Edwards, art instructor at CCA, to propose a way for students to enter their original artwork into a competition. Students were given specific requirements for the artwork; a Thunderbird needed to be featured, along with a San Diego landmark. Eleven students submitted their original art. “There were a lot of oohs and aahs by the committee when they saw the artwork,” Kate Cutsinger said when the winner was announced. “It was very difficult to decide on a winner.” Sophomore Jenny Wang’s image, of a Thunderbird being launched off the aircraft carrier USS Midway, received $100. Her entry will grace the cover of the convention program, and will be featured in the marketing materials. The Cutsingers also donated $100 to the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation. Alan Cutsinger also told the students that all of the art submitted would be published and displayed. “The artwork was too good not to share with everyone.”

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Rancho Del Mar Physical Therapy focuses on individual care programs No matter the time or day, Tracey King is committed to providing one-on-one care at Rancho Del Mar Physical Therapy. That’s why she opened a private physical therapy and rehabilitation center nearly two years ago. “We strive to provide good quality of care,” King said. “Our goal is to give personalized care where we can actually focus on the individual instead of getting as many patients in here as possible.” Combining manual techniques with exercises, King works individually with every patient to improve quality of life in an energetic environment. The clinic features specialized equipment for optimal rehabilitation of the lower extremities, whether rehabilitation is needed because of overuse, stress injury or joint replacement. Among the center’s specialized equipment is the AlterG’s Anti-Gravity Treadmill. Used by professional athletes and sports teams, the weight-adjustable treadmill allows patients to exercise without pain — even while they are recovering from injury or surgery. Runners and triathletes often use the treadmill at the clinic, whether they are recovering from injuries or simply aiming to reduce the impact on their joints, King said. “It’s a great tool for everyone,” she said. The clinic offers other cash-based, costeffective services, such as a screening and exercise education program for golfers so they can improve their game. King’s love of sports and passion for

helping others led her to a career in physical therapy. Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, King grew up swimming and playing field hockey, squash and tennis. She came to the United States for college, earning a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in pre-physical therapy in 2006 at San Diego State University. In 2009, she graduated from the University of Colorado with a doctorate in physical therapy. Throughout her career, King has worked at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Colorado, Naval Medical Center San Diego and various outpatient orthopedic clinics, where she’s participated in sports rehabilitation and functional, vestibular and balance training, in addition to treatment for individuals with Parkinson’s disease. After working at a North County outpatient orthopedic clinic for two years, she decided to open her own practice, working one-on-one with individuals of all ages and needs. With a need for a physical therapy center in Del Mar and the surrounding communities, King opened her clinic in June 2013 on Via de la Valle. She often welcomes patients from Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe and other areas. “It’s a convenient location,” King said. “I’ve enjoyed helping people and seeing people heal and go back to what they enjoy. That’s what’s most rewarding.” Rancho Del Mar Physical Therapy is at

Pacific Ridge School senior Tyler Chen is one of just three students from San Diego County to be honored as a 2014 Kyoto Prize Symposium scholarship winner. The Kyoto scholarship is awarded to the six students (a companion scholarship is awarded to three students from Tijuana) who best demonstrate not only academic excellence, but also an active pursuit of the betterment of society.The student scholarships are offered through San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kyoto Symposium Organization. Each year, the prestigious Kyoto Prize is given to three individuals worldwide to honor their significant contributions to humankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scientific, cultural, and spiritual development. As part of the student scholarship application process, students are asked to submit an essay Tyler Chen describing what inspiration they draw from the life and work of one of the 2014 Kyoto Prize laureates. Chen wrote his essay on Dr. Edward Witten, a leader in the dramatic evolution of superstring theory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I admire Dr. Wittenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique ability to see connections, and his appreciation for the beauty of the universe around us,â&#x20AC;? said Chen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The work he has done is truly inspiring. He effectively unified five competing string theories into a grander theory, M-theory. M-theory explains our universe in such a simple and elegant way that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think we are nearing the creation of the theory of everything.â&#x20AC;? Chen, who hopes to pursue nanotechnology and entrepreneurship in college, had the opportunity to meet Dr. Witten at the Kyoto Benefit Gala on March 17. Chenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s additional achievements include recognition as a 2015 National Merit Finalist, membership in the National Honor Society, Chinese Honor Society, and varsity Academic League. Chen is captain of the robotics team, an editor of the Quanta Science Journal, and a Pacific Ridge student ambassador. He also holds a third-degree black belt and is a Level 2 Taekwondo instructor.

Both pieces will be auctioned during the live auction. Around 25 8x10 paintings created by EVA Conservatory students will be available on the gala online auction. The CCA Comedy Sportz team has been collaborating with CCA Alumni and professional writers Matt Herman and Nick Scutti. They are working with Envision Theatre Arts students to write and perform sketches for the gala. Students from each Envision discipline will be represented at the gala, with a house band providing music, and cinema/theatre students creating “shorts” for the show. Hilary Patton, VP of Envision and SNL@CCA gala auction chair, was enthusiastic about the opportunity for gala attendees to experience the work of CCA students: “We are thrilled to be able to showcase our students’ work while raising money for the programs that help them thrive at CCA.” For gala tickets, donations, and sponsorship opportunities, visit www.ccagala.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $2,972,806.01 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown

on mental health. The company has a full-time nondenominational corporate chaplain, Roy Inzunza, who has provided spiritual comfort and counseling services for more than seven years. On call 24/7, Inzunza’s entire job is to assist employees, whether it’s to take them to Mexico so they can build houses for charity work, or to serve as a marriage or grief counselor. “Having a chaplain to serve the emotional needs of our employees is awesome,” Sherman said. “It’s a great thing for morale. As employees go through different circumstances, he really helps them get back on their feet.” Hoehn also boosts people’s attitudes with its Employee of the Month celebrations, which are held at each store. Workers have a chance to nominate their peers for the award;. At the event, comments are read aloud, and everyone also has a chance to hear the latest news about their location. “We want employees to feel energized about what’s going on at their dealership,” Sherman said. “Our family believes it is paramount that everyone from the general manager to our newest lot porter is able to provide input on continually improving our business operations and ensure we are providing the best customer experience possible.” Providing such programs seems to be paying off at Hoehn. “When employees are actively involved in services that we provide, we find that they are firing on all cylinders,” Sherman said. “I think it’s great that the Hoehns offer the health (and) fitness classes and all the other fitness activities,” Darr said. “It makes you feel that you aren’t just an employee to them, but more like a family member, because they are saying, ‘We want you to stay healthy.’ Work life can be very stressful, so having an outlet that’s so positive both mentally and physically is wonderful.” “Every employer cares about their employees,” Sherman added. “You can’t be a profitable business and not care about them. (Businesses) need to be really understanding in how to serve their employees. It takes being conscientious to what their needs are.” Visit www.hoehnmotors.com.

What Rancho Santa Fe Residents Need to Know About the Current Water Restrictions Rancho Santa Fe Residents are now required by the Santa Fe Irrigation District to conserve water. We are currently at a Level 2 stage of water restrictions which means most of the focus is on saving irrigation water. In order to comply with these restrictions, here’s what

you need to know: If your street address ends in an even number, only irrigate your landscape on these days: Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday If your address ends in an odd number, you’ll water only on these days: Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday Are you doing your part to conserve? Here are 10 ways in which you can reduce your water usage: 1. Check your water meter monthly for undetected leaks. If the dial is moving while no evident water is in use, start checking for leaks. Call your irrigation expert or a leak detection company if you suspect subterranean leaks so you can repair immediately.

2. Eliminate runoff onto curbs, patios and walkways. Adjust your sprinkler heads’ spray pattern and adjust spacing between sprinkler heads to insure head-to-head coverage. 3. Change your irrigation nozzles to low precipitation rate nozzles. 4. Make sure your water pressure does not exceed the sprinkler manufacturer’s recommendations. Excessive pressure will cause fogging, possible damage to the sprinkler, and loss of water to evaporation. 5. Irrigate between midnight and 7am to minimize water loss due to evaporation and wind. We suggest splitting your spray zone application into three or four shorter cycles (no more than 5 minutes each) and spacing those run times an hour or two apart so that water soaks in more deeply while minimizing

runoff. 6. Install an automatic irrigation controller and adjust the timing as needed. Find your indicator plant (the thirstiest one in your landscape), and check it daily. Only turn your irrigation system on when indicator plant begins to wilt. 7. Broom-clean all paved surfaces instead of hosing off. 8. Add a positive shut-off nozzle to all garden hoses. 9. Shut down ornamental fountains unless using reclaimed water. Column continued at www.ranchosantafereview.com/ news/2015/mar/26/what-ranchosanta-fe-residents-need-to-know/
