BY JOE TASH A standing-room-only crowd of about 500 people turned out Tuesday, June 23, for a town hall meeting put on by the Santa Fe Irrigation District, as officials sought to answer residents’ questions about the district’s imposition of steep, mandatory cuts to water use, which carry hefty fines and penalties for violations. The district’s territory includes large estates in Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch, as well as smaller parcels in Solana Beach, and its service area includes about 19,400 residents. The mood at Tuesday’s town hall at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club was generally polite, although applause broke out several times after questions and comments from audience members, regarding such topics as why small-lot owners in Solana Beach are facing the same cuts as the owners of larger Rancho Santa Fe properties, and why recycled water is not available for homeowners. Audience members also asked why San Diego County is facing draconian cuts when officials have stated repeatedly that the region is not facing a water supply shortage this year. SFID General Manager Michael Bardin set the stage for the discussion by noting, “This is the worst drought in state history. We’re in unprecedented territory.” In April, Gov. Jerry Brown declared a water emergency in California and ordered a statewide reduction in water use of 25 percent. Because Santa Fe has one of the highest per-capita water-use rates in the state, regulators have ordered the district to cut its use by 36 percent, or face potential fines of

BY KRISTINA HOUCK After more than three years with the Solana Beach School District, Superintendent Nancy Lynch bid farewell to board members, staff, parents and students during the June 25 board meeting. (Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe is part of the Solana Beach School District.) Lynch has returned to Northern California to serve as superintendent of a Bay Area school district. Her last day with the district was Tuesday, June 30. Terry Decker, the district’s former assistant superintendent of instructional services, started as superintendent on Wednesday, July 1. “I just thank you all so much for the wonderful opportunities that you’ve given me,” said Lynch, who now serves as superintendent of Reed Union School District. “It’s been an absolute pure delight.” Lynch joined the Solana Beach School District in April 2012. Under Lynch’s leadership, the district transitioned to Common Core State Standards and championed STREAM (Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) through STREAM-centered Discovery Labs.

Rancho Santa Fe Association Board Biz: Enjoy your vacation — we’ve got you covered! BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD Once again, Rancho Santa Fe will be celebrating the Fourth of July in oldfashioned style, with our annual parade and lots of fun for the whole family — clowns, face painting, fire trucks and vintage cars, honor guard, horses, live music and food. Meet up in the Village from 1-5 p.m. Lineup to be in the parade starts at noon! After the Fourth, many of you will head off to family vacations for a little summer R & R. Activity in the Village— and especially in the Association office — will remain bustling throughout the summer months. Your new board convened as of July 1, and we are all working hard on our many projects. BROADBAND: The members of the Technology Infrastructure Committee will be attending the Fiber to the Home Council convention in Anaheim on June 30. There we will hear the latest news in fiber technology and services. We will
Ann Boon hear presentations from several major providers as well. Look for an in-depth report on what we learned in the near future. WATER: Meetings and brainstorming sessions continue almost daily throughout the county and the Covenant. Association Manager Bill Overton is working with Director Mike Bardin at the Santa Fe Irrigation District. Along with the CSD, the two boards are pushing for long-term solutions to our water situation. We are even getting our state legislators involved. Brian Jones, California State Assembly member, will be attending our RSFA board meeting on Aug. 6. He will be filling us in on pending legislation that may impact us and will be listening to our concerns.

Water issues will no doubt top the list. You are all invited to attend. Look for announcements with more details on that meeting soon. On July 8, the Association will be hosting an informational meeting at the Garden Club starting at 6 p.m. Several speakers will be making presentations on water conservation and landscaping and will be available to answer your questions. VILLAGE MASTER PLAN: I am happy to report that the wheels have begun to turn on this project as well. Over the past few months, the board has heard concerns from many of you regarding the loss of “community� in our Village. You have asked us to find ways to bring back retail shops, to ensure there is a market and to provide parking to support the merchants. Board members agree that we must develop a plan that will encourage the commercial and residential elements necessary for a vibrant Village. To date, we have met with professional urban planners, developers of planned communities, Village property owners and members of the Village merchants’ group.
I believe that the process we will need to follow, in order to truly achieve the renaissance that we all desire, will require engaging the services of outside professionals as well as organizing our teams of volunteers. Things are still very much in the embryonic and visionary stage. At this point, we are forming a Village Master Plan Task Force, made up primarily of unpaid professionals who live in the Covenant. They will be charged with laying out the goals and the plan for board approval. Going forward, their main responsi-
bilities would include researching and pursuing the necessary legal moves that may be needed to implement the plan, e.g., zoning changes, public-private partnerships, etc. Collaborating with this task force will be the “Revitalization� Team and probably a Parking Team. In the short term, the Revitalization Team will be the lead group in gathering community input on what we all want to see in our Village. Over the longer term, we are hoping that the Revitalization team would organize events to keep the commu-
nity focused on and energized about the Village while the Master Plan Task Force tackles the longerterm, more complex legal issues. Over the next few weeks, the Task Force will be developing the goals and a plan to bring to the board for discussion. We will be looking for your input at every step along the way. Please stay engaged with us. We all must work together to develop a vision for the long-term vitality of our Village. Together we can make it happen. ann.boon@me.com
Traffic accident on El Camino Real sends 2 to hospital A traffic accident June 24 at El Camino Real sent two people to the hospital after their car overturned and caught fire. Firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District responded to the report of a traffic collision at 8:44 p.m. in the 16000 block of El Camino Real near Calle Familia. The battalion chief, who was first to arrive on scene, found an overturned vehicle off the road and on fire and called for additional resources, which included units from Encinitas and Solana Beach Fire Departments. There were two occupants in the vehicle, both minors. The passenger was able to extricate himself from the vehicle before the first responders arrived, but the driver was trapped inside the burning vehicle. Bystanders along with Rancho Santa Fe Patrol units attempted to extinguish the fire, which began spreading to nearby brush, until fire crews arrived. Once on scene, firefighters quickly extinguished the flames and safely removed the driver from the vehicle. Neither patient was burned; however, both patients were transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla with other traumatic injuries. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the wreck.

District nutritionist asks Congress to serve up flexibility on lunch programs • Rules are now so strict that students don’t like the results, and program costs are rising, expert testifies BY KAREN BILLING School lunch restrictions have gotten tighter across the country and the San Dieguito Union High School District has complied to ensure its food is nutritious as well as appetizing to middle school and high school students. However, complying with those standards has resulted in fewer students eating those healthy school lunches and rising costs are making a mess of the meal program budget, officials say. It is frustrating to Siri Perlman, district nutrition specialist, that the district can sell a pack of sour worms candy, but they can’t sell Sabra-brand hummus packs because they are too high in fat for the regulations. The federal guidelines are well-intentioned, she said, but what school districts need is a little more flexibility. As Congress prepares to reauthorize the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 this fall, Perlman was invited by the School Nutrition Association to discuss the impact of new nutrition standards on school meal programs in two congressional staff briefings June 11 in Washington, D.C. Perlman was one of six speakers representing lunch programs throughout the country. Nutrition directors from Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky and New York joined her before Congress. The group participated in two briefings, one with the Senate Agriculture Committee staff and select staff from the Senate and House Appropriations Committee. A second meeting was with the House Education and Workforce Committee staff. “It was an amazing opportunity, and I feel so Director of Nutrition Services Rick privileged to work with people from our field and adMariam and Siri Perlman, the vocate for change in areas we feel are inconsistent district nutrition specialist. with the end goal to provide healthy, nutritious meals to students,” Perlman said. “We support the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, but there needs to be more flexibility to in order to be successful both financially and participation-wise.”

Top: A student makes a healthy choice of fruit at the cafeteria. Left: Nutrition Services Assistant Corky Wilkinson shows off the healthful salad options, which Snack Smart challenges include garbanzo beans and red-pepper rings. Historically, San Dieguito’s reim-Courtesy photos bursable meal program has been subsidized through its a la carte food sales. With the new regulations that took effect in July 2014, a la carte revenue dropped significantly and the district anticipates a loss of $175,000 this school year. Under the federal government meal program, the district is reimbursed per full meal sold. For the meal to be reimbursable, students must take at least three of the five components offered, and one component must be a fruit or vegetable. Schools offer four menu items daily plus alternatives of a hummus pack, yogurt parfait or peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They are no longer allowed to sell the entrees from the combo meals a la carte unless they are under 400 calories and sold the day they appear on the reimbursable meal program menu, or the day after. If they’re not on the menu in that time frame, the items must be less than 350 calories with less than 35 percent calories from fat, and less than 35 percent sugar, and must meet several other restrictions. Snack food items must be less than 200 calories and meet many of the same restrictions. To meet those requirements, portion sizes have had to decrease, resulting in smaller bagels (and cream cheese or jelly are no longer allowed to be sold with them), smaller versions of the popular paninis, and four sushi rolls rather than eight (because of sodium content). Perlman said it’s hard to overcome the student customers’ perception that they are paying the same price for less. See LUNCH, page 26

Del Mar braces for American Pharoah • Triple Crowner will train on new dirt track, but will he race or appear on Pacific Classic day? BY ED ZIERALSKI, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW Del Mar’s opening day on July 16 is approaching, well, like American Pharoah rolling in the stretch. And anyone at Santa Anita over the closing weekend of The Great Race Place’s 39-day spring meeting couldn’t help but notice that horse racing is in full stride right now. A big part of that is the success of American Pharoah, the sport’s first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. American Pharoah put in his first work Monday, going three furlongs for trainer Bob Baffert. This came after a rowdy Saturday in which the colt was paraded through the Santa Anita paddock, winner’s circle and then on the track. Baffert was noticeably concerned about his champion in the winner’s circle when American Pharoah had trouble settling down for a photo. After a number of tries, Baffert finally waved his arms and said, “That’s enough. Get him out of here.” On Sunday, Baffert told reporters that the “petting zoo” period was over for his colt, and now it’s time to get him ready for his last race, the Breeders’ Cup on Oct. 31 at Keene-land. After that, he’ll stand at stud. Only Baffert and owner Ahmed Zayat know where American Pharoah next will race, but one thing is certain: The son of Pioneer of the Nile will van to Del Mar on July 13 and train here for his next race. A lot has been speculated about the Triple Crown winner’s next race. Baffert said Saturday that the Haskell Invitational at
Monmouth Park on Aug. 2 and the Jim Dandy at Saratoga on Aug. 1 were possible. And when asked about the TVG Pacific Classic, he didn’t rule it out, giving his usual mantra that the colt will let him know when he’s ready to go. “We’re on his schedule now,” he said. In the meantime, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club officials are trying to come up with a plan on how to deal with having racing’s superstar housed on the backstretch. Baffert made it clear that the colt is getting back to work, and surely Del Mar will respect those wishes. At Del Mar, it’s almost certain there won’t be nearly the fuss made over the colt’s arrival as there was at Santa Anita, where he was welcomed back as a conquering hero by adoring fans, TV stations and every form of media. As much as Del Mar would like to see it, this won’t be Cigar coming in for the 1996 Pacific Classic. Talk about a zoo. All Del Mar can hope for is that American Pharoah’s scheduled works will be announced ahead of time to allow San Diego’s horse racing fans to attend them in the morning, as they did for California Chrome last year. As for his appearances at Del Mar, if American Pharoah goes to the Haskell or Jim Dandy and wins without incident, Del Mar officials can only hope to parade the game’s 12th Triple Crown winner on Pacific Classic Day. Such an appearance by the best 3-year-old to race in 37 years would save a See PHAROAH, page 16
Del Mar resident sentenced to prison for insider trading while at Qualcomm BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A former Qualcomm executive who gained inside information about the company’s earnings and intended acquisitions and exploited it for personal gain was sentenced June 26 to 18 months in federal prison and fined $500,000. Jing Wang, 51, of Del Mar, pleaded guilty a year ago to insider trading, money laundering and obstruction of justice in connection with the three-year scheme. Wang, an executive vice president and president of global business operations for Qualcomm, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes. “Jing Wang was a powerful insider at one of the world’s top corporations, but he threw it all away to make a few hundred thousand dollars,” U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said. “While Wang has lost his power, his position and his freedom, the real losers here are investors who play by the rules, and our nation’s financial system, which is diminished with every one of these schemes.” After Wang used the inside information from Qualcomm for personal gain, he enlisted his stock broker and brother to cover it up, Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell said. In connection with his plea, Wang admitted he made three separate insider trades using a brokerage account in the name of his British Virgin Island shell company, Unicorn Global Enterprises. First, in early 2010, before Qualcomm’s announcement of a dividend increase and stock See TRADING, page 16
Woman killed in crash near Del Mar identified BY CITY NEWS SERVICE An 85-year-old La Mesa woman killed in a predawn chain-reaction accident involving four vehicles on Interstate 5 near Del Mar was identified June 26. June Takekawa Hsu died after her 1995 Nissan Sentra stalled in the far right-hand northbound lane of the freeway near Via de la Valle and was rear-ended by a 2008 Honda Accord shortly before 5 a.m. June 24, according to the county Medical Examiner’s Office and the California Highway Patrol. Moments after the initial crash, a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2015 Honda Accord plowed into one or both of the two vehicles, authorities said. The 40-year-old San Diego man behind the wheel of the older Accord had apparently minor injuries, and the occupants of the other vehicles were unharmed, according to the CHP. The crash left all but one northbound lane closed during the morning commute and led to gridlock as far south as the I-805 merge.

Accomplished RSF resident, 90, to participate in Fourth of July parade BY DIANE Y. WELCH Charles “Charlie” Eisleben, a sprightly nonagenarian, will be riding atop a white Porsche Carrera convertible in Rancho Santa Fe’s Fourth of July parade. The car belongs to his daughter, Barbi Krome, and her husband, David, who will be driving. Eisleben will be proudly wearing his naval officer’s dress uniform decorated with ribbons earned from his service in the South Pacific during World War II. He and his wife, Jean, moved to the Ranch in 2011 to be close to their daughter, “to live out our days” in a beautiful setting, he said. The couple’s story reaches back into a past that includes almost seven decades of happy marriage; they will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on Nov. 1. It also includes when they met at age 16 in 1941. Both were students at Roosevelt High School in St. Louis. Eisleben was on the school track team and Jean was the marching band majorette. As a teenager, Jean was selected to represent the state of Missouri for the Miss America Beauty Pageant in Atlantic City. “She doesn’t allow me to say what year that year was,” joked Eisleben. It was love at first sight. “I asked her to marry me the day after we had our first date,” recalled Eisleben, but marriage had to wait when the U.S. entered World War II in 1941. When Eisleben turned 18, he attended Engineering School at Missouri University but enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1943 and was sent to the Navy V-12 Officers Training program at Iowa State University in Ames. There he completed an accelerated course for his degree in mechanical engineering. He was then commissioned as an ensign and sent overseas, where he joined the ship USS PCE-886 operating out of Guam. The ship was a Patrol Craft Escort, 164 feet long with 35-foot beam, that carried 121 sailors and nine officers, said Eisleben, who served as engineering officer. In June 1946, he received orders to return to the U.S. and received his honorable discharge at The Great Lakes Naval Base, but continued to participate as a reservist, being promoted to lieutenant junior grade in 1957. After his naval service, Eisleben was hired by a company that made and installed critical piping systems in electrical petroleum refining plants. He moved with Jean in 1953 to California for a job beginning an engineering career that spanned 43 years. The couple moved to Bermuda Dunes, Palm Desert, after Eisleben’s retirement in 1987 “to enjoy the sunshine and the golf.” Together they have raised three children: Richard, Barbara and Nancy. Now the Eislebens have seven grandchildren; five are married and there are 11 great-grandchildren. “One of them is a Marine based in Okinawa, the oldest one, and the youngest one just arrived,” said Eisleben, who was born May 16, 1925. A native of St. Louis, Eisleben’s father was vice president of a store that he inherited from his father, in downtown St. Louis. Eisleben had an older brother who was also in the Navy. The three family members are now deceased. Eisleben ascribes the couple’s long, healthy lives to their devout faith. “The good Lord has been very gracious to my wife and I. We are still both very active and our minds are alert

Courtesy photos and our bodies are doing well,” he said. “My grandfather told me early on that the secret of marital success is, ‘Don’t ever both of you get mad at the same time,’ which is a little difficult to do, but it seems to work pretty good,” he commented. The couple are very proud that each of their adult children are still married to their respective first spouses, said Eisleben. “My parents have been steadfast role models to me, my brother and sister,” said Krome. about her parents’ commitment to each other and to their faith. “They still love to dance in the living room together, garden, and laugh with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren,” she added. Adapting to the changing times, the Eislebens use iPhones and spend plenty of time on their laptops each day, “even at a remarkable 90 years old!” said Krome.

A black-and-white photo shows the 16-year-old ballerina at her prime, mere months before her world would be destroyed. She is dressed in a bathing suit, smiling while performing a gymnastic Edith Eva Eger at 16. By the next year, she split. Eger says the portrait was taken by would be in a concentration camp. her first teenage crush: a Jewish boy named Imre. He, like so many others, would not survive the Holocaust. “I had my 17th birthday in Auschwitz,” Eger said. Seventy years later, Eger appears frail at first glance, until she astounds a new acquaintance by performing a dance kick that goes shoulder-high. The 87-year-old said her fondest childhood memories still revolve around dancing and training to compete for the Hungarian Olympic team as a gymnast. “But then I was told that I had to train somewhere else because I’m Jewish, and I do not qualify (for the Olympics),” Eger recalled. “My dream was totally shattered.” Eger’s appearance will be at a private RSF estate.

Senior catcher Garrett Stubbs was awarded the prestigious Johnny Bench Award, given to the nation’s top collegiate catcher, it was announced recently by the Greater Wichita Sports Commission. Stubbs, a graduate of Torrey Pines High School, joins 2005 Trojan Jeff Clement as the second catcher out of Troy to win the award. USC is the first school to have two award winners. He is also the third Pac-12 catcher all-time to take the honor. “I am excited and humbled to be selected for this prestigious award,” Stubbs exclaimed. “Bringing this honor back to USC and its storied baseball program, which my team returned to prominence this year, means a great deal to me.” Garrett Stubbs becomes Stubbs, who was recently drafted by the Houston Asthe second Trojan to win tros in the eighth round, has racked up the postseason honthe Johnny Bench Award. ors, as he was named ABCA/Rawlings First Team All-AmeriPhotos courtesy USC can, Baseball America First Team All-American, Gold Glove Athletics. honoree, Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, First Team AllPac-12, Pac-12 All-Defensive Team and ABCA/Rawlings First Team All-West Region.

Best-selling author Winslow tells grim tale of drug cartels at RSF Library event BY DIANE Y. WELCH At a recent lunch reception held at the Rancho Santa Fe Library, New York Times bestselling crime novelist Don Winslow gave an entertaining talk on a grim subject: the drug cartels of Mexico. His presentation — hosted by Warwick’s bookstore of La Jolla and the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild — coincided with the official release date of his latest book, “The Cartel,” a sequel to his 2005 novel “The Power of the Dog.” Winslow, who lives in Julian but also splits his time between Solana Beach and Rhode Island, spoke passionately about the long-running wars of the cartels and the drug issues facing the U.S. and offered his personal opinions about the outlawing of street drugs, which is making drug cartel leaders more violent and more wealthy, he commented. His fascination with the drug cartels stemmed from an interest in the escalation of reported incidents that Winslow began to document out of interest. At the end of that process, he had 127 single-spaced pages that became the “spine” of his new book. He included his two main characters from “The Power of the Dog” — Art Keller and Adán Barrer, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent and a Sonora cartel kingpin, respectively. “Then I took significant events that became the muscle and the bone around the spine,” Winslow explained. He looked at about 20 significant events and wrote them out and had a rough road map for the novel’s plot. Winslow was able to gather facts from social media. “Criminals used to hide their crimes, now they proclaim them,” he said. Using newspaper reports, Internet clips, talking to DEA and law enforcement and directly with drug traffickers, he rounded out his research. His informal presentation included an exchange of questions and comments from the audience. “Do you think that legalizing drugs will make any difference?” someone asked. “Yes, without doubt!” answered Winslow. “If you criminalize drugs, only criminals can sell them. If only criminals can sell them, (then) when there is a conflict, there is no recourse of the law. If there is no recourse of the law, there is only recourse to the violence. If there is only recourse to the violence, then eventually the most violent will rise to the top,” he stated. Marijuana is still the cartel’s biggest cash pile, said Winslow. They are already buying land in California and Oregon in anticipation of its legalization, he said. But they will still maintain high profits from heroin, cocaine and meth. “With your research on both sides of the border, have you been invited to Mexico by cartel leaders?” someone inquired.
“I have had contacts,” Winslow admitted, “but I’m not going to go any further than that.” “Is it part of the cartels’ business model to outdo each other in terms of their brutal reprisals, and does it work?” came another question. “Yes, it does, “ Winslow replied. “Violence almost always escalates.” “If all drugs were legalized, would cartels switch then to human trafficking?” someone asked. “Probably. Some cartels make more money from human trafficking , kidnaping and extortion than they do from drugs. Their income accounts from 8 to 12 percent of the Mexican economy,” said Winslow. Another question: “For the average family in Mexico, are they safe in any way from this business, or is ev- L-R: Julie Slavinsky, Don Winslow, Susan Appleby. Photo eryone involved?” by Diane Y. Welch “It depends on the area and the time,” answered Winslow. “There was a period of time in Juarez where no one was safe at any time. And in the past 30 days, for example, there have been over 100 murders in Tijuana alone.” For Winslow, writing about the Mexican cartels was at times depressing. “You spend time with videos and atrocity photos and autopsies, but in an odd way some of the story was inspiring and hopeful in terms of the women,” he said. This hope stemmed from women taking over in Northern Mexico as mayors, social acSee AUTHOR, page 26

Patriot Profiles: Predicting the unpredictable stops terror on the move This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY “Every military, whether it’s us or the terrorists, tries to be unpredictable,” said Maj. BJ Grass, a Marine Corps Intelligence officer, recently returned from the Anbar region in Iraq. As part of Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force — Crisis Response — Central Command, Grass served with Task Force al-Asad, helping to develop and integrate strike packages and assist in the planning of Iraqi ground operations in the region. Predicting the movement of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), as they battle for control over the land and its people, is a tenacious task laced with peril. The militants have caused more than a million Iraqis to flee their homes. Families are torn apart, cities lie in ruins, and priceless culture is destroyed in a land once freed by American fighters who gave their all. Grass and Task Force al-Asad serve under Operation Inherent Resolve. According to U.S. military officials, that name is intended to reflect the unwavering resolve and deep commitment of the U.S. and partner nations to eliminate the terrorist group ISIL and the threat it poses to Iraq, the region and the wider international community. The threat of ISIL is anything but secret. As senior intelligence officer with the Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force, Grass advises the commander on all things intelligence-related, everything from “collections to processing and disseminations, and analysis of information and trying to turn that into an accurate picture of what the enemy is doing, or what the geo-political situation may be across the Central Command (CENTCOM) area.” In late 2014, U.S. troops started training Iraqi security forces at al-Asad Air Base, despite regular harassment fire from Islamic State militants. Grass took on more of a schoolhouse role; it was back to teaching, coaching, and mentoring he did previously in 2006-2007. In 2006, the U.S. troops and Iraqi Army partnership began by training 1st and 7th Iraqi Divisions in western Anbar province. Grass was an intelligence adviser on an 11-man team, each of whom brought a wide scope of military skills to the table, including operations, intelligence, communications, administration, logistics and basic infantry. “The Iraqi 7th Division is who’s out there right now (2015) in Anbar. It’s one of the units that have held their ground, and they still maintain battlespace in western Iraq,” said Grass. For those who trained the Iraqi 7th, “We’d like to think that some of (their success) is because of the blood, sweat, and tears that we provided during training in 2006 through 2010.” Growing up just outside of Milwaukee, Wis., Grass made his mother sew “camos” for his Cabbage Patch doll. This fell right in with GI Joe in uniform, fighting imaginary enemies. Grass said his mom would predict he was going to be in the military. “It’s always been something that interested me. You’re giving back to your country … and that’s what made me join.” Preparations to join the battlefront, to unravel the designs of evil, can start at a very young age. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Platteville, Grass started his military career as a logistics officer at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. After his adviser tour in Iraq, 2006-2007, he did a tour in D.C. at the Defense Intelligence Agency as intel officer for 1st Battalion 5th Marines. He then spent a year at the Drug Enforcement Administration, followed with a year at the National Counterterrorism Center. Command and Staff College preceded his coming out to 5th Marine Regiment and the Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force. There, Grass manages a host of intelligence collectors and analysts who focus on both Inherent Resolve and being poised to conduct crisis response anywhere across CENTCOM’s area of responsibility. “It’s 20 countries spread from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, all the way east to Pakistan and to the other ‘Stans’ up north. “When we look at ‘striking the enemy,’ we talk about the ‘Find, Fix, and Finish’ mantra. My job is to find the enemy — ‘Where is he at?’ Our fire team, the operations guys, work the ‘fixing and finishing’ piece.” Grass said technology makes the “finding” piece both “easy and hard,” through various intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms and websites. “The sheer amount of information that’s out there right now both helps and hurts us in this line of work,” he said. “We sift through and understand as best we can.” And we civilians think keeping up with our emails is challenging. To Grass, the hardest part of the strike cycle is the targeting cycle. “We strive to know and understand the enemy — his long- and near-term goals. I develop different courses of action that I think he’s going to execute. From there, we plan collection operations to get information that says what he is doing. Finding that enemy is tough because he’s hiding amongst the population — he wears the same clothes. Until you can differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys with 100 percent certainty, we’re letting that guy go, until we come back in a day when we are 100 percent certain that is the enemy.

As an officer, I want to be the best leader to Marines assigned to my charge. I recognize they are husbands and wives, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters of our counterparts across the globe.

The challenges that are thrown to me or the challenges I throw at the Marines that you think are undoable — these guys and gals can accomplish — and routinely accomplish — generally better than you ever imagined it would happen. The teamwork ‘piece’ is an experience I’ll take with me. “As the Intel guy, I like to think (intelligence) helps a ton to determine the battle.” Grass knows to his core the better he can anticipate and understand the enemy, the more helpful he is to his commander in determining the outcomes. “We’ve got such an amazing force; we’re able to have success, even if I fail.” Success happens when the enemy is least expecting it. You can count on Maj. BJ Grass and today’s Marines to be fiercely ready for that.

Camp participants having fun at a Waterpark.
RSF Community Center Summer Camps focus on fun The Recreation Leaders at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center take their jobs seriously but that doesn’t mean they don’t have fun. In fact, fun is the focus of the center’s summer camp program. Program Director, Michelle Shah, says, “We all remember what a blast summers were as kids and we provide that feeling of spontaneity and adventure to our campers. Even though we have an ambitious schedule of outings, they have lots of opportunities to use their imaginations, make friends and just play.” Linda Durket, executive director of the Community Center says “Our Recreation Leaders take campers on a new adventure each day and they make sure everyone has a great time. The first thing parents ask when they pick their child up at the end of the day is, ‘Did you have fun?’ Our goal is to have every camper say, Yes!” The Community Center is proud to offer a 5:1 child to adult ratio maintaining small numbers and focusing on quality and safety. Durket says, “Our campers become like family; they really enjoy the support of being with friends and staff who care so much about them.” Exciting trips are planned Monday through Friday to locations such as Legoland, SeaWorld, Wild Animal Park, Boomer’s, Petco Park, paddle boarding, the beach and more. Pricing per camper for a full week is $325 or $90 per day. Hours are 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. with extended care offered from 8 – 9 a.m. and 3 – 5 p.m. at $10 per child. In addition to staff-led field trips, week-long enrichment classes at the center are also offered including computer game design, Legomation, 3D art, dance, multi sports and more. Registration is open to children in grades K-5. The RSF Community Center is a non profit 501(c)3 organization that has provided summer camps and after school programs since 1972. Camps fill up fast and space is limited. Make sure your child is registered early by calling 858-756-2461 or visit www.RSFCC.org to sign up online
RSF Library presents July 8 workshop on reverse mortgages, home equity Rancho Santa Fe Library’s Financial Health Series presents, “What You Need to Know About Reverse Mortgages and Managing Your Home Equity” with Monte Howard and Dr. Lara Magallon from Castle in the Sky Productions. The workshop is at 11 a.m. July 8 at the library, 17040 Avenida de Acacias, Rancho Santa Fe. Call 858-756-2512. Optimizing cash flow and preservation of assets are two of the most important issues for anyone who is at or near retirement age. Whether your home is owned free and clear or mortgaged, the equity in your home is likely to be your greatest underperforming asset. Financial and retirement planners are generally not prepared to advise on or actively manage this very important resource. An FHA-insured HECM reverse mortgage or a Jumbo reverse mortgage may be an ideal way to manage home equity as a retirement planning resource or to improve retirement cash flow by eliminating a mortgage payment. The speakers have worked with retirementage clients and their financial advisers for 14 years to incorporate home equity management into their planning, often with dramatic results. Besides giving an overview of the benefits and limits of the available reverse mortgage programs, they will discuss the power of reverse mortgages with the newer Reverse Home Purchase option. Monte Howard is a nationally recognized authority on home equity management in retirement. Topics will include Reverse Mortgage 101, Facts vs. Myths, Optimizing Retirement Assets, Reverse Home Purchase, and HomeKey: an exciting new non-mortgage program for equity management.

repurchase, Wang bought company stock valued at about $227,000. Wang also admitted that, in December 2010, while attending Qualcomm’s Board of Directors meeting in Hong Kong, and hours after the board approved a non-public offer to purchase Atheros — a developer of semiconductors for wireless applications — he purchased stock in Atheros. The defendant further admitted that, just a few weeks later, he directed his stockbroker, Gary Yin, to sell the Atheros stock for about $481,000 and purchase Qualcomm stock one day before the company announced record earnings. Wang additionally admitted creating a false cover story in which he and Yin would blame Wang’s brother, Bing Wang, for the insider trading and ownership of the Unicorn account. Yin pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct justice and launder money and is scheduled to be sentenced July 17. Bing Wang, who lives in rural China, has been charged in connection with the scheme and is wanted on an international arrest warrant.

race that right now looks light in the haunches, considering the depleted state of the older horse division. As many have speculated, the Pacific Classic, a $1 million race and signature event in the summer for Del Mar, would be the equivalent of a walkover for American Pharoah should Baffert decide to make that his next race. Throw in a $5 million bonus from an insurance company if he should win the Pacific Classic, the Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita and the Breeders’ Cup Pacific Classic, and maybe that will be enough to keep the colt at the beach for the summer. Del Mar can only hope at this point that American Pharoah thrives here and maybe isn’t quite ready for an Aug. 1 or 2 race. American Pharoah in the Pacific Classic would be one of this city’s biggest sports days ever, but a lot will have to happen to make that go.

USC-bound Dillon Paulson grows into leadership role at SFC BY GIDEON RUBIN Asked about his most memorable experiences at Santa Fe Christian, former Eagles baseball standout Dillon Paulson instantly recalled the thrill of the perfect game. Teammates hugged. Then they celebrated on the pitcher’s mound in a giant dog pile. “A perfect game is such a team thing that you do,” Paulson said. “It was amazing to be able to do that with my friends.” Paulson, a pitching standout in his own right, didn’t actually throw a pitch in that game. On that day it was his teammate Cole Acosta, who shone. But the fact that the two-time Coast Conference Player of the Year, who will play for USC next year, counts a teammate’s accomplishment ahead of his own impressive body of work over three years on the varsity, points to the type of player Paulson has become at Santa Fe Christian. And it is his team-oriented focus that separates the USC-bound Paulson from other baseball standouts at his level, said Eagles baseball coach Don Mitchell. “He’s grasped that,” Mitchell said. “You get superior athletes and they don’t always grasp that, but he did.” It wasn’t always that way for Paulson, who came to the program with an abundance of talent and an intensely competitive spirit, but without a full understanding of what his coaches expected of him as a teammate, Mitchell said. He’s grown into a much different player. “He came in as a high-profile athlete, a very good baseball player. We knew that about him when he came in, but we wanted to mold him into that team unifier and get him to do the things that really make Santa Fe Christian the successful (program) that we are,” Mitchell said. “He’s accepted that role, and he’s excelled in it. That’s one of the things I’m most proud of about him.” It’s one of the aspects of Paulson’s game that he takes the most pride in, too. “I think at Santa Fe Christian, since it’s such a small school, you see your teammates around school all the time,” he said. “Everybody knows everybody in a small school like that.”

He also credits his younger brother, Ethan, an up-and-comer in the Eagles program who’ll be a sophomore next year, with pushing him. Paulson has come to exemplify the essence of what SFC’s program is about, according to Mitchell. “When he gets into a game situation, he’s so mentally focused that it’s very difficult for an opponent to beat him,” Mitchell said. “That rubs off on the team, because they see that in him and they recognize that if they want to excel, they need to be that same way.”

Rendezvous In The Zoo 2015 The 32nd annual gala Rendezvous In The Zoo (R*I*T*Z), this year with the theme “Party Animals,” was held June 20 at the San Diego Zoo to benefit San Diego Zoo Global. Since it began in 1984, R*I*T*Z has raised more than $15 million for exhibits and facilities at the San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research. Proceeds from R*I*T*Z will benefit a new seashore habitat for critically-endangered African penguins, which will be located in the Conrad Prebys Africa Rocks area at the zoo. The evening began with lavish hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and music near the flamingo lagoon. Exotic animals, including a cheetah, a koala, and tropical birds as well as their trainers, mingled with party-goers. In addition, guests were treated to a special animal presentation by conservation ambassador Joan Embery. A gourmet dinner created by the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina followed in the dining area, where guests were immersed in the whimsical world of party animals. Colorful murals depicting party animals at their wildest — including penguins and other furry and feathery African critters — set the stage for a fun and memorable evening. Throughout the gala, revelers danced the night away to the music of Wayne Foster Entertainment. Photos by Vincent Andrunas. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview.com.

Letters to the editor/Opinion
Education Matters
Making ‘the list’ BY MARSHA SUTTON In a note referencing my column two weeks ago about the $25 “fee” the C a n y o n Crest Academy Founda- Marsha Sutton tion charged for physical exams for high school athletes, a parent said this was the tip of the iceberg. Her concern centered on the strong-arm tactics some schools use to raise donations from parents. It’s not just the nickeland-dime approach – $10 here, $25 there – that irks many parents. It’s the bigbuck pleas, the ones that make less well-off parents feel ashamed that they can’t afford to give. “In many different ways, the foundations urge you to pay, and shame you if you don’t,” this parent wrote. “We are now known as the ‘poor’ family, because we can’t afford to attend functions with price tags in the hundreds of dollars so that the school can buy supplies. “It’s public school, so why are we constantly bombarded with fees and costs? Thanks for shedding some light and holding people accountable.” To be fair, I also received letters from parents saying, essentially, “What’s the big deal? It’s only $25.” “Are we seriously wasting the time of dedicated volunteers and principals over a $25 charge or even the wording to charge?” one local letter-writer said. “I realize it is the wording that has everyone in cahoots and it needs to say volunteer donation, but give me a break ... education needs to be free, not sports physicals.” This parent said low-income parents “are just happy the schools have so much to offer.” Under her name, she identified herself as “a friend to many low-income families.” I see her point too. Less affluent families move into these districts, many sacrificing a great deal, to give their kids an opportunity for an excellent education. And indeed, many tolerate the little charges here and there, just grateful to have their children receive the benefit
of the stellar education local districts provide. Nevertheless, there are principles – and laws – that must be followed, to adhere to the requirement for equal access to public education, and that includes all the extracurricular activities schools offer. In the Solana Beach School District, I was told that two schools – Solana Highlands and Solana Pacific – listed the names of donors at school entrances, on school websites, and in emails and letters sent home to families. The foundation, a parent said, asks parents to donate a suggested $375 per child and that her family “was publicly shamed by not having our names on that list, because there was no way we could afford it.” SBSD superintendent Nancy Lynch told me these practices are not unique to those two schools. Lynch, who resigned July 1 to take a position in Northern California, said that all SBSD schools do this, some in different ways, but that family names are listed publicly, to recognize and thank donors and to encourage others to give. However, Lynch said the amounts donated are not listed, and that anyone who gives any amount is recognized and their names are included on the list. “If anyone donates even a dollar, they get recognized publicly like everyone else,” Lynch said. It shows “they’ve got skin in the game.” Lynch said she had no objections to the practice of listing donors’ names as long as no amounts or levels of contributions are shown, noting that this is common practice for many nonprofit organizations. Feeling embarrassed When compared to the Del Mar Union School Dis-
trict, Solana Beach’s approach seems tame. The DMUSD’s foundation lists what’s called its “honor roll” – which names donors who have contributed $250 or more each fiscal year. Going further, the foundation lists the names of donors in bold who have given $800 or more. The names and donations are connected to particular schools, so anyone can check the list to see who at their school has given – and by extension, who has not. One can also see the disparity between levels of giving. The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation asks families to join its “Scholars’ Circle” – featuring three contribution levels: $100,000 or more, $50,000 to $99,000, and $35,000 to $49,999. Contributions, the website states, can be paid over a one- to five-year period of time, and donors receive permanent inscription on the Scholars’ Circle Giving Tree. “Traditionally, the RSF Education Foundation sent out mailers with names of donors by giving levels,” one former RSF parent wrote. “Everyone loved to see who was where.” Canyon Crest Academy’s foundation also lists names and levels of giving for each fiscal year. The website lists donors all the way back to the 2005-2006 school year. Names of corporations and individuals are provided, categorized by the following levels: $10,000 or more, $5,000 to $9,999, $2,500 to $4,999, $1,000 to $2,499, and $500 to $999. Torrey Pines High School’s foundation also lists names of donors, the most recent in its April/May 2015 newsletter, although blessedly no amounts are attached to the names. Although we’d like to think that no one would ever search for who’s missing and silently make judgments about them, those who cannot afford to donate at these levels often feel “outed” and embarrassed – labeled as either poor or selfish. Sensitivity needed No one questions that the work of foundations in local schools helps make great schools even better. Without the generosity of donors, much of what happens in local public education would not exist. They deserve recognition and public thanks. Volunteers who help run foundations and coordinate the events they sponsor to raise money also deserve credit and our gratitude. However, it’s a fact that it’s easier to give when you are financially comfortable than when you’re not. And it can be natural for lower-income families to feel the sting of rejection, real or imagined, by others who are afflicted with what my father used to call “affluenza.” It’s not private school – it’s public. And that means taking care to ensure that all families, no matter their socioeconomic status, feel welcomed and respected – and that they have been treated fairly and been given equal access to all that public education has to offer, regardless of how much money they can donate. It’s important to be mindful of how these lists make less-affluent families feel and understand that sensitivity is needed when soliciting for dollars. That’s why wording and phrasing are important, and that’s why care must be taken to ensure that schools are inclusive and accepting of families of all cultures and income levels.

Rant With Randi: ‘The ball doesn’t lie!’ and other stupid things parents scream at lacrosse tournaments BY RANDI CRAWFORD I just returned home from a fantastic week of lacrosse in Colorado, where the weather was nearly perfect and my group of friends/lacrosse parents put a smile on my face daily. We had one day at home to rest and then hit it again here in Del Mar this past weekend. Basically, our summer consists of lacrosse, lacrosse and more lacrosse. Therefore, the most important thing to know about being on a travel team with any youth sport is that it is critical that you are surrounded by great parents and great coaches. You are going to spend a lot of time with these people, and you want it to go as smoothly as possible. In fact, one might say that it’s a huge bonus to be able to have a damn good time with this group. They will see you at your best and your absolute worst, because the days can be very long. Sometimes you might even get fed up with your own kid and say things you regret, and your teammates (and their parents), are there as witnesses, gulp. The people with whom you hang your hat can make or break the experience. I like to take pictures during games, so I don’t sit down much. Generally speaking, I’m standing by parents on the opposing teams. Boy, is that fun — not. When I tell you that I want to smack most of them, that wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Seriously, the things people scream at these tournaments are so insane, that they could almost be construed as funny. Here are some of my favorite moments and the summer has just begun: The dad with the big fat belly who stands on the sidelines with his arms crossed, screaming to his son, “Move your feet. Go faster!” And it’s almost as if the fatter the belly, the louder that dad screams. Here we are, in Colorado, dealing with the altitude which makes it difficult to breathe just standing still, and these kids are getting yelled at for not moving fast enough by guys who probably sit on their butts drinking beer all day. Classic. One time we had an early morning game, and a
dad was sitting comfortably in his new tournament chair drinking his Starbucks, screaming at his son to “Wake up and start playing lacrosse!” Really? Can I pour the Starbucks on your head so you will shut up? An opposing team lost a game and the father ran up to his son and screamed at him, “You better not have committed to going out with your team after this game. You lost, period. You are going to review film tonight.” He seemed like a nice guy — not. And then you get the parents who are so intense and freak out on the refs. No matter which way a play is called, someone always goes postal. “Come on, what game are you watching?” “That wasn’t a push, that’s just lacrosse.” “Since when is choking considered a flag?” “Let the boys play” (while a kid is lying on the ground unable to move). It might seem like I’m picking on the dads, but there were a lot of moms that I could have done without as well. They are the moms who believe that they know the game of lacrosse better than the coaches. These women are pure Crazytown. They keep track of all the stats and start screaming out plays over the coaches. They want to be sure that their son knows to shoot the ball, because they only have 3 minutes left in the game and someone needs to get the job done. I read a quote: “On a scale of one to lacrosse mom, how crazy are we talking?” Yup, that pretty much sums it up. Trust me, it is funny if you don’t have to stand next to these whack jobs. I might buy a muzzle for the next tournament just to keep my mouth shut before I say something that will get me killed! I’m on the edge, people. What say you?

In 2014, the Rancho Santa Fe Association members approved $350,000 from the Community Enhancement Fund, to evaluate the feasibility of building a Health Club. Of 1,475 votes cast, it passed by 49 votes. No estimated initiation fees or dues were stated at that time. After nine months of community response, with many objections to both size, and location of the Pools and Health Club, the steering committee is considering a 15,000-squarefoot building and three pools, named The Covenant Club. This proposal would “shoehorn” the Covenant Club and Pools between the Golf Club, Tennis Club and Horse trails. The iconic Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is ranked 34th among 866 golf courses in California by the USGA. The golf course is Rancho Santa Fe’s Central Park, offering a tranquil setting for golf, walking, jogging, or horseback riding. The understated character of the area would be changed forever. The projected cost of the Covenant Club is $10,900,000, based on using $4,500,000 from Community Enhancement Funds, and the balance from membership sales and financing. Membership sales are based on 250 Golf Club members, 50 Tennis members, and 250 Health Club members joining for an estimated initiation fee of $1,500, and $180 monthly dues. This seems overly optimistic at best. Why the shoehorn? The Association owns the Osuna Ranch, 24.5 acres, purchased for $12,000,000. The property includes the historic Adobe and a 50-horse facility, and only 38 percent of the horse facility boarders are Covenant residents. A committee called Amigos de Osuna has a Vision Statement: “It is our vision to preserve and enhance this valuable Covenant asset in a manner respectful to its historic past, while creating a vibrant community resource for current and future generations.” This is a well-thought objective. In viewing their Conceptual Master Plan for the Osuna Ranch and Adobe, there is ample space to set aside 2 acres for a Covenant Club, pools, little league baseball fields, picnic area, and snack bar that would serve the broader value to our community. See more about this at: www.rsfassociation.org/osunaadobe, see PDF file. When the question of utilizing the Osuna property for the fitness center is asked, the response from the Health Club Steering Committee has been that it is not zoned properly, and abutters would object. What about abutters to the Golf Club? Isn’t it worth the effort to investigate rezoning the Osuna property? There is discussion that the Association board is looking at subdividing the Osuna Ranch property and maintaining the Adobe (a registered national historic building). Even with a subdivision, there could be space set aside for a Covenant Club. Robert Mulholland, Rancho Santa Fe

Leave the fireworks to the professionals With the 4th of July just a few days away, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District would like to remind everyone that fireworks, an exciting and traditional part of our Independence Day celebrations, are best left to the experts. Aside from professional displays, all fireworks are illegal in San Diego County. This includes, but is not limited to, firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, Roman candles, sparklers, snap caps, and poppers. Legal firework shows done by professional pyrotechnicians can be viewed throughout San Diego County. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an estimated 17,800 reported fires were started by fireworks in 2011. These fires resulted in an estimated 40 civilian injuries and $32 million in property damage. In addition to those fire injuries, thousands of people, including children and teens, are injured every year while using consumer fireworks. Even something as “harmless” as a sparkler, which burns at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, can cause critical injuries and pose a serious fire hazard. Due to the high risk of injury and fire presented by these items, especially with the current drought conditions, possessing fireworks in San Diego County is a misdemeanor. In addition, any individual who starts a fire through the use of illegal fireworks may be required to pay for the firefighting efforts. By leaving the fireworks up to the professionals, we can all enjoy a happy and safe 4th of July. Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District

The schools are also no longer allowed to sell Gatorade, which Perlman said they weren’t too sad to see go, although that has caused a major hit in their revenue. “The new Smart Snacks regulations have not had the intended effect in our district,” Perlman says. “Many students are upset that healthy reimbursable meal entrees can no longer be sold a la carte, and that some popular options like hummus and pretzels are off the menu. With a la carte choices so limited, many students go off campus for fast food, soda and sugary snacks. “Allowing reimbursable entrees to be sold a la carte every day would provide students with a larger variety of nutritious choices and help to restore our financial solvency. Food is only nutritious if they eat it.” The business of nutrition Perlman, a registered dietitian, has been working in wellness for 10 years. Before joining the district two years ago, she served as the coordinator of nutrition education and PE programs in the Lawndale Elementary School District. At Lawndale, she was the site coordinator for the Network for Healthy California for five years and the Physical Education Program grant for two years. Perlman is also president of Chapter 34 of the California School Nutrition Association, which has re-established last September after having been dormant for 10 years. Her invitation to visit Congress was unexpected. Rick Mariam, the district’s director of nutrition services, had been interviewed for an article in the Los Angeles Times. But his thoughts were not included in the resulting article, and Perlman took issue with the fact that their concerns were lumped into being portrayed as the “lunch lady lobby.” “To be characterized as the ‘lunch lady lobby’ and not nutrition advocates was very frustrating,” Perlman said. She wrote a letter to the editor, and a firm working with the School Nutrition Association reached out to her about joining SNA members in expressing her concerns to Congress. As Perlman said, SDUHSD’s nutrition program runs like a small business — it has to make money to pay for its operating costs and avoid dipping into reserves or the district’s general fund. Food costs have increased because of the ingredient requirements. As a dietitian, Perlman loves that they are serving whole-wheat lavash bread, brown rice sushi and fresh fruit, but those items do cost more. Unfortunately, the price increases have been passed on to the consumer. Just last month, the board approved increasing school lunch prices from $3.75 to $4.25, the first price increase in seven years. “The feedback we hear from some students are that the prices are too expensive,” Perlman said. “High schoolers can go offcampus at lunch, so at schools like San Dieguito, you’ll see a mass exodus at lunch. Imagine us trying to provide a Greek salad or a whole grain burrito with barbacoa, and students are going off getting a Frappuccino.” At San Dieguito, students flock to the convenience store down the road on Santa Fe Drive, where they have had to institute rules of no more than 10 students in the store at a time because of the lunchtime rush. Across from Canyon Crest Academy, students can now walk to the growing Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, where lines at Starbucks now stretch out the door onto the sidewalk. “We’re getting healthier, but we’re losing
our students to those places,” Perlman said. She said the intent of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act is admirable — but the unintended consequence is that it renders their program financially unsustainable. “If we lose our customer base and prices go up, how can you sustain that?” Perlman asked. “And how would the community feel if we have to dip into the general fund?” Making health teen-friendly For their part, Perlman is proud of how innovative the district has been to come up with ways to meet the regulations and keep the food exciting for students. The regulations mandate that 100 percent of grains served are are 50 percent whole grain, so the district has worked hard with its bakery to develop a whole grain-rich sourdough bread that students like. They are looking to find a macaroni and cheese dish with whole grain noodles and low-sodium and low-fat cheese sauce that students will like. The chicken Caesar wrap on wholewheat lavash is a top seller, and they serve unique sides like roasted garbanzo beans. The district also worked with students as they developed a pupusa, an El Salvadoran dish. Students helped rename it the more teen-palatable “stuffed bean and cheese quesadilla,” and they advertise it on campus with posters touting the house-made curtido slaw that tops it. Many of the food items are prepared at the central kitchen at Canyon Crest, then trucked to the sites. The other items are made in individual school kitchens. Perlman said her kitchen staff takes pride in their work and are always interested to see how the students like what they make. They carefully layer the granola in the yogurt parfaits, hand-roll the burritos and stack the turkey sandwiches just so. A lot of labor goes into all these new items — but unless they get student buy-in, they’re a loss and they have to be pulled from the menu. Besides lunch service lines, each high school has its own school eatery: At La Costa, it’s The Calf-A, San Dieguito has the Mosaic Café, Torrey Pines has the Corner Café and Canyon Crest has The Nest. The district has tried to keep the café environments fun and inviting, and students take ownership by running the cafes through Regional Occupational Program business classes. “With limited staff and funding, we’re doing the best we can to get buy-in for all of the healthy choices,” Perlman said. The tweaks Perlman advocated in Washington were to allow a la carte items to be sold at any time, for the initial requirement of 50 percent whole grains (instead of 100 percent) to be restored, and to increase the per meal reimbursement by 35 cents because the full meal reimbursements are not covering their costs. She said if they can get help in those areas, it would go a long way toward recovering lost participation and allow them to remain fiscally solvent. “As someone who only now is getting involved with our national organization, I was so impressed with the professionalism but down-to-earth nature of the SNA staff, and meeting and working with all the representatives from other states,” Perlman said. “I felt really good about our field and all the positive work that we’re doing. It inspired me and reinforced the work I’m doing at San Dieguito.”

In the fall, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School in Pacific Highlands Ranch. “Nancy was taken away a little too early from us,” said board member Richard Leib. “I was part of the group that selected Nancy. There were a lot of good, qualified candidates, but we felt that she had the leadership qualities and a lot of other really great qualities to bring to the district. I think she has shown that very much.” With thanks and a few tears, board members presented Lynch with a group gift and several personal presents in a gift basket. Board member Debra Schade, who also helped bring Lynch on board, said she took the district “to the next level.” “One of the things that I admire the most is your ability to empower,” said Schade, adding that Lynch has put people in positions that have allowed them to flourish and become leaders in the district. Other board members thanked Lynch for her personal guidance. “I have looked my whole life for positive female mentors who lead people in a positive way,” said board president Vicki King. “As a woman my age, it hasn’t always been easy

$10,000 per day. To achieve its targeted cutbacks, the district in May approved new mandatory water-use restrictions, including a two-day-perweek landscape irrigation schedule, and it began rationing water for the first time in its 92-year history. Santa Fe Irrigation District is also the only water agency in San Diego County to impose allocations. Under the “water allocation” plan, each household and business in the district will have a base allowance of water for indoor use, and will be required to cut outdoor use by 45 percent. The district is working on guidelines that will require less stringent cuts for commercial agricultural growers. Fines for violating the water-use rules, and penalties for using more water than the allocated amount, will be imposed. “These are severe financial penalties. We’re not interested in penalizing people, we’re just trying to get the demand down, and these are the tools to do it,” Bardin said. Under questioning by audience members, Bardin said San Diego County is not forecasting water shortages this year, because of such measures as expanded storage capacity and an ocean water desalination plant in Carlsbad set to begin operation this fall. But the governor’s order leaves local water agencies no choice but to make the cuts. “It is not fair. All of your efforts and our efforts (to conserve water) up to 2013 are being ignored. We can’t change that,” Bardin said. Officials denied that anyone is receiving favorable treatment under the new rules because every property will have the same base allowance for indoor water use, no matter how large the parcel. Bardin also said that water sources such as recycling and desalination — although costly — will help, but can’t completely overcome the effects of the four-year drought. Desalination, he said, “is not a silver bullet.”
However, Catherine Dickerson, a Solana Beach resident who has started a website, www.watersandiego.org, said San Diego should be held up as a model for how to deal with lower-than-normal rainfall, rather than be forced to slash its outdoor water use. “The governor is not a dictator. Because he says ‘Jump,’ we do not have to say ‘How high?’” she said. Bardin told the crowd that because of the drought, California will need to transform its landscaping habits, moving away from thirsty green lawns toward droughttolerant plants. Some in the audience agreed. “We’ve been using water that we shouldn’t expect to have. We have to make changes to live with the current realities,” said Milt Herman of Solana Beach as he left the meeting. Carol, another Solana Beach resident who declined to give her last name, said, “There is no choice. Rather than wringing my hands about something I can’t change, I am thinking about how I can comply,” she said. “And I’m praying for rain.” In an interview, Dickerson disagreed with the contention that San Diego must stop watering its lawns and gardens. “It’s like a dirty secret that San Diego has enough (water),” she said. Scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs can solve the problem with technology, whether it’s more desalination plants, expanded use of recycled water, or some other method, according to Dickerson. “I have a beautiful garden that gives me great joy, and people tell me it soothes their soul,” Dickerson said. “The governor says, ‘No. Dirt and rocks for you.’” Jessica Parks, a spokeswoman for the Santa Fe district, said more public meetings will be held on the new water-use rules and the district’s drought response, and the district will post a FAQ page on its website based on questions asked by the public at Tuesday’s town hall meeting.

BMW Encinitas offers top-rated sales, service as well as support for community
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANE Y. WELCH The new season of BMWs will launch in October with revolutionary updates to the world-class 7 Series flagship luxury sedan that are so innovative and technologically advanced that during its recent Las Vegas preview, no cellphones or cameras were allowed because of its top-secret design and engineering. Darrin Fetterolf, general manager of Encinitas BMW since 2011, was at the show with his wife, Lisa. The couple will also attend a special launch of the vehicle in Munich, Germany, from Oct. 8-11, such is its acclaim. Until the new 7 series, along with the 2016 models of X1, the i3 and the i8 — which gets an impressive 94 mpg — find their way into the showrooms, the dealership, conveniently located on Encinitas Boulevard, has plenty of inventory of what is known universally as “The Ultimate Driving Machine.” In its current stock, the dealership carries more than 300 new cars, including the X4, X5M and X6M models and the 45 mpg D3 series sedan that also comes in a wagon. It also carries more than 100 certified pre-owned vehicles that come with a six-year or 100,000-mile warranty. “Certified pre-owned is an easy way to enter into the luxury brand, with special financing and no-cost maintenance,” explained Fetterolf. The dealership offers a top-rated Service and Collision Center that is open Monday through Saturday with an onsite dog park, free Wi-Fi and free Starbucks coffee, and a large loaner fleet.

At charity events, the Fetterolfs will often buy out tables and have BMW staff present. “We always have a ‘BMW genius’ present on site to answer anyone’s questions about the cars that are on display,” said Lisa Fetterolf. Many of the dealership staff are long-term employees, some have been there 25 to 30 years. Darrin Fetterolf, born and raised in Los Angeles County, has been in the car business for more than 30 years. Recently, a folder surfaced that contained drawings of cars that he had done when he was 8 years old. “There was a picture of Darrin that he drew, in a sports Lisa and Darrin Fetterolf, general manager of Encinitas car, and it said, ‘I love cars!’” BMW, annually support many charities.

Fairmont Grand Del Mar celebrates launch as newest member of global luxury chain BY DIANE Y. WELCH As the sun was setting over the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve on a recent evening, the scene from the newly named Fairmont Grand Del Mar looked less like San Diego and more like a secluded Andalusian enclave. Enjoying the serene view from the terrace just beyond the Manchester Salon — along with a fine spread of lobster, jumbo shrimp, tenderloin and rack of lamb, paired with blush champagne — was an exclusive guest list that included representatives from local media and several top executives from Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, now the parent company of Fairmont Grand Del Mar. The occasion worthy of the lavish affair was the official launch party for the resort, the newest member of a global luxury hotel collection that comprises more than 65 hotels globally. Its flagship landmarks include Fairmont San Francisco, The Plaza in New York and The Savoy in London, along with AAA Five Diamond properties Fairmont Mayakoba in Mexi- Seafood bar at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar patio. co’s Riviera Maya and notable California hotels, including Also present at the soiree Fairmont Miramar Hotel and Bungalows, Santa Monica, and Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn were Jennifer Fox, president, and Spa.

iPalpiti Festival returns for July classical concert series in Encinitas BY DIANE Y. WELCH Returning to Encinitas in July is the world-famous iPalpiti Festival of International Laureates. Its artists will perform classical solo, ensemble and orchestral concerts in the community room at the Encinitas Library and at San Dieguito Academy. It is the city’s most prominent music festival, bringing young, virtuoso artists to the beach town for rare performances in an intimate setting with the ocean view as a backdrop. This is the fourth year that iPalpiti has chosen Encinitas as its summer venue outside of Los Angeles, and unlike in previous years, this season of live performances spans a two-week period from July 9 through July 18. The artists are some of the nation’s top-ranked, award-winning musicians. This summer, 25 international laureates will arrive in Los Angeles from 22 countries including Azerbaijan, Ecuador, Spain, Norway, Finland, Turkey, Italy, Denmark, Germany and Brazil. There will be five soloist concerts at the library on four consecutive evenings beginning at 7:30 p.m. July 9 through July 12, and on July 15. Each one will be different, said Jim Gilliam, City of Encinitas Arts Administrator. Soloists are violinists Kreeta-Julia Heikkilä from Finland and Yury Revich from Austria; violist Midori Maruyama from Japan; cellist Francisco Vila from Ecuador; and pianist Svetlana Smolina from Russia. The first week of soloists is followed by a week-long residency, with the entire orchestra rehearsing at the library for a free grand finale performance of the “Fun for All Community Concert.” That will be held at San Dieguito Academy amphitheater at 4 p.m. July 18. “It is their way of saying ‘thank you’ to the community of Encinitas for being such welcoming hosts,” said Gilliam. The public can get a sneak peek at the artists as they rehearse at the library for this concert. These free public rehearsals will be held twice a day, from 10 a.m through noon, and 2 p.m. through 5 p.m. July 13 through 17. Making the festival possible is the nonprofit iPalpiti Artists International, founded in 1997 by Eduard and Laura Schmieder, internationally renowned violinists and music educators. With the support of renowned adult musicians, iPalpiti discovers and promotes talented young professional artists from around the globe and is dedicated to their artistic career advancement. The organization also promotes peace and understanding through music. iPalpiti (pronounced ee-PAHL-pit-ee) is Italian for “heartbeats” and alludes to music being the pulse of the soul. The iPalpiti Orchestra, founded by Schmieder in 1991, became the flagship ensemble of iPalpiti Artists International. Its humanitarian mission of cultural exchange created a universal network of more than 200 artists from all over the world, promoting cultural understanding through music. Each summer, iPalpiti brings 25 to 30 of these exceptionally gifted professional musicians to its home base in Los Angeles. Encinitas is the kickoff for the annual California festi-
Soloists from the 2014 festival. Photo courtesy Bill Dean val. The musicians, often referred to as the “Musical Peace Corps,” have been honored with more than 100 international competition awards and are internationally recognized for their performances in Japan, Israel, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy and more. “Classical music is the spiritual factor which brings people together and unites them irrespective of religion and culture, appealing to sublime senses,” stated Schmieder. Visit http://www.ci.encinitas.ca.us and click on the Arts link, then follow links for information on the soloists and their repertoires and to purchase tickets. Individual concerts are $15 each or a festival pass may be purchased for $70. The “Fun for All Community Concert” at San Dieguito Academy is free; musical selections will be announced from the podium. Bring blankets and low-backed chairs.

A party was held June 24 at the home of Betty and Dennis Williams in RSF to thank sponsors and barn owners for their help with the RSF Historical Society’s Boots, Bridles and Barns fundraiser to be held July 11. In a break from tradition, the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society’s annual fundraising summer home tour has been transformed into a tour of five fine equine estates. The Boots, Bridles and Barns tour will take place from 1:30-5 p.m. July 11. These equine facilities are some of the most upscale in the nation and are home to pleasure, hunter/jumper and dressage horses. The five locations, on multimillion-dollar estates in Rancho Santa Fe, are being kept under wraps until the day of the tour to add an element of mystery. A “Hoedown” party has been planned in the village after the tour, where food and drink may be purchased, with live music, dancing and live and silent auction. Tickets for the barn tour, which includes the Hoedown, are $45 for members and $50 for non-members with advance registration required. To register, attendees should visit http://www.rsfhs.org/ or mail a check to P.O. Box 1, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067, made payable to the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society. Photos by McKenzie Images.

LA artist shows ‘alchemical paintings’ at La Jolla Gallery from July 11-Aug. 22 The R.B.Stevenson Gallery in La Jolla announces the opening of “Silver Deposit,” the third solo exhibition of new work by Los Angeles artist Jimi Gleason. Opening reception for the artist will be from 5-8 p.m. July 11 at the gallery, 7661 Girard Ave., Suite 201. The exhibit runs through Aug. 22. Gleason combines his unique style of alchemical paintings with rigid geometric forms that merge Hard-Edge aesthetics with Light and Space ideals. Much like the California Light and Space Movement, Gleason is interested in exploring the metaphysical possibilities of art. His silver deposit surfaces act as enigmatic mirrors that are activated by viewers and the environment they are situated in. To achieve his luminous surfaces, Gleason uses industrial materials — silver nitrate, to be exact — in a process he’s been investigating and applying for more than a decade. Gleason treats acrylic-coated canvases with a chemical mixture, which he then sprays with silver nitrate solution, transforming the surfaces into sterling sheets of light. Gleason was born and raised in Southern California. He graduated with a BA in Fine Art from UC Berkeley in 1985, later moving to New York City. Upon his return to California, he worked as a studio assistant for renowned abstract painter Ed Moses. Gleason’s work can be found in the permanent collection of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, the Eli Broad Collection, private and permanent collections in Las Vegas, collections in the United States, Europe and Asia. Visit www.rbstevensongallery.com.

Local Juice Co. ready to blend in with new elixir bar in Flower Hill BY KAREN BILLING With his new Local Juice Co. elixir bar, owner Justin Gittelman wants to spread the joy of juicing to North County San Diego. Once available only at La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe farmers markets and private orders since May of last year, Local is now serving up its ultrapremium cold-pressed juices, tonics and elixirs in a corner of Café Cantata in Flower Hill Promenade. “We know we have the best juice on the planet because we focus on quality and consistency,” Gittelman said. “We don’t take short cuts.” In starting Local Juice, Gittelman combined his passion for juicing with his entrepreneurial spirit. He was raised a vegetarian by his mother, building a great foundation for eating natural healthy foods. He grew frustrated spending $20 to $30 a day on juices but not finding the level of quality he desired. The reception for his concoctions has been “phenomenal,” he said, as he uses unique ingredients in innovative ways and finds just the right flavor profiles. “Our mission is to evolve the traditional juice and smoothie industry into tonics and elixirs,” Gittelman said. Elixirs are a combination of healthy ingredients that work to enhance energy and longevity, he said, and tonics are like liquid supplements, an infusion of ingredients meant to cause a reaction in the body. Gittelman’s favorite tonic on the menu is Change Agent, which combines turmeric, ginger, lemon, pineapple and sea buckthorn, a super-fruit with a dense citrus flavor that is rich in essential fats. He calls the powerful taste “nature’s tequila” and the four-alarm formula promises multiple health benefits. While high-pressure processing eliminates essential enzymes and vital nutrients in juice, the cold-pressed method used by Local is the optimal level of juicing, leaving a higher level of nutrients and enzymes and a more refined taste, Gittelman said. Renew, Local’s first green drink, has spinach, kale, celery, cucumber, aloe vera, turmeric and pineapple. “We wanted to get good greens in and a pleasing aftertaste that is more enjoyable for the average person,” Gittelman said. Their most popular drink is Sustain, which combines watermelon, aloe, cucumber, mint and drops of goji and schizandra herb. Schizandra increases stamina, cleanses the liver and provides a boost to the immune system, as well as many other healthful benefits. “The yogis come out of class like they’re walking out of the Sahara and Sustain is the perfect recovery juice,” Gittelman said, referring to neighboring CorePower yoga studio. Two unique items on the menu are the Turmeric Latte elixir and the Green Soda. The Turmeric Latte has no espresso and no caffeine, but a rich antioxidant and cold-pressed organic turmeric and herbs. The Green Soda is an effervescent green elixir served cold over ice. “Having established the line of cold-pressed juices and tonics, the new elixir bar has allowed us to become even more creative, with an expanded menu offering more drink and snack items,” Gittelman said. The bar serves up faux ice cream and acai bowls like the Positive Vibes bowl, made of frozen acai, kale, spirulina, raw honey, almond milk and seasonal fruit and topped with ba-
Justin Gittelman opened Local Juice Co. on June 13 in Café Cantata in Flower Hill Promenade. Photo by Karen Billing nana, coconut flakes and cacao-kale granola. Local Juice Co. is also the first to bottle cold “bulletproof” coffee. Local’s Cold Proof pairs Bird Rock Roasters coffee with organic ghee, MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil, organic almond milk and toffee-flavored stevia. While Local doesn’t have a website, they do have a presence on Instagram and Facebook and have become known for their glass bottles. “No plastic is used. There’s a sea of plastic already floating in the Pacific, and Local Juice will not contribute to plastic waste,” Gittelman said, noting the bar will buy back bottles from customers to re-use. Gittelman, a San Diego native who lives in La Jolla, spent the past 15 years working in organizational development and management consulting. As an executive coach, he worked with CEOs on how to put their visions to work and consulted on ways to increase productivity of staff and increase revenue. He brings those elements of his former business life in to Local Juice’s core goals and mission. “We want to empower, inspire and make a positive impact on the community,” Gittelman said. It is his hope that he has concocted the perfect blend to find success, create happy and healthy customers and to “lift the vibe” of his corner of Flower Hill. Visit www.flowerhill.com.
SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.994.9263
Why Varicose Veins are a Medical Condition Living in Southern California, we are all too familiar with the popularity of cosmetic surgery. From large invasive surgeries to small botox injections, we are inundated with people wanting to alter their appearance to achieve a more attractive look. And for many decades, varicose and spider veins were viewed in this same way: as cosmetic only. And while
yes, the treatment of varicose veins will greatly improve the look of your skin, there are bigger concerns here that should not be ignored. Varicose veins, or venous insufficiency, can actually lead to much larger, more serious problems. One of the biggest concerns with varicose veins is thrombosis, which is a clotting of the veins. If this continues to worsen, it can lead to DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) which is a clotting of deeper, larger veins, generally found in the legs. As you can imagine, this can result in more severe complications with your legs, skin, and circulatory system. Additionally, if let untreated, varicose veins can also lead to external bleeding from these damaged veins. One of the main problems in the diagnosis and treatment of venous insufficiency is that all-too-often, the patient simply ignores the
symptoms. The most common symptoms may include achy or swollen legs, itching, heaviness, throbbing and heat over the veins, and of course the visual indication of varicose veins. But many times, patients do not seek treatment because there is no “pain” attached to the symptoms. And the thinking is that if there is no pain, then there is no serious medical condition. But this is not necessarily the case. Even without great pain, those other symptoms are warning signs. But just like with other medical conditions, the earlier a diagnosis is made, the earlier treatment can begin, and the greater the chance of preventing further complications. And the beauty of seeking treatment early is the simplicity and ease of the process. In the past, treatment of varicose veins was associated with uncomfortable compression
socks and invasive “stripping” of the vein. But now a quick, painless injection or laser ablation can take care of the veins and have you back to your daily activities the same day. If you were at risk or had symptoms of hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol, you would not think twice about seeking treatment. But nearly 35-40 million Americans are suffering from venous insufficiency. Don’t be one of the them who waits too long to heed the warning sings. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, be proactive in seeking treatment. It is no longer something to be afraid of. If you’d like to take advantage of one of our experienced and skilled doctors who perform all of the procedures themselves, don’t hesitate to contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

Coulter, Mitschele to perform at dual Switchfoot Bro-Am kicks off with album release July 9 at Belly Up concert Restaurant Week specials July 6-12 Lee Coulter and Dawn Mitschele, two acclaimed local San Diego artists, are releasing new albums with a joint release concert at 7:30 p.m. July 9 at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. Doors open at 7 p.m. Mitschele will release “All of Our Days,” and Lee Coulter will debut his album, “People Like You.” San Diegians are invited to enjoy an exclusive show tracks never heard before. Lee Coulter Dawn Mitschele “‘All of Our Days’ is one of my most intimate albums so far,” said Mitschele, “so it means the world to me to be able to share this special collection of stories with my fans. Some of the songs on the album were written years ago and are very dear to my heart. I’m happy to finally be sharing them.” “All of Our Days” is also a tribute to Mitschele’s lifelong friend Matthew, who unexpectedly passed away. Coulter’s latest album, “People Like You,” captures a wide variety of feel-good sounds— from folk and reggae to blues and acoustic stylings. More than catchy tunes and crafty lyrics, the album also addresses social issues and gives voice through song. Coulter’s favorite track and music video, “Boss Señorita,” is packed with feminist punch, featuring three-time U.S. Women’s Boxing Champion Danyelle Wolf. The duo will be accompanied by two-time Los Angeles Music Awards winner Michael Tiernan, who just released his fifth album, “Inside Your Head.” Tiernan seamlessly blends folk, reggae, bluegrass, blues and modern pop rock into his brand of acoustic guitar-centric music. The Belly Up Tavern is at 143 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach. General Admission $8 online and $10 at the door.
