RANCHO SANTA FE — Richard Lederer, Ph.D., brought some company at his recent visit to the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center. Lederer reminded everyone that 2016 celebrated 400 years since William Shakespeare passed
was only fitting that he, along with John Polhamus, who acted as the instrumentalist and singer for the day, took attendees through a Shakespearean journey of plays and sonnets. Guests thoroughly en-
the presentation, “Living Will: The Legacy of William Shakespeare.” Before the performance, Lederer held a brief book signing. Shoppers were hard pressed with the choices of books available since Lederer has authored well
over 50 of them, ranging from history, language and humor. He is the founding co-host of the KPBS radio show, “A Way With Words.” His column, “Looking at Language,” is syndicated in the nation both in both magazines and newspapers.
Staff to ‘take step back’ on proposed cell project By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE — At the last Rancho Santa Fe Association (RSFA) board meeting, the topic of improved cell service was addressed. Speaking to the board and Covenant members about the issue was Tom Farrar, the Association’s director of planning. Since the RSFA held its Feb. 29 town hall meeting in regard to proposed cell
towers to improve coverage in the Ranch, the focus has shifted. At the town hall meeting, the “Concerned RSFA Members Group” delivered a powerful presentation underscoring cell tower concerns consisting of infringement of property values, negative impacts, compromising the Ranch’s California historic landmark designation, CC&Rs, and more. Following the town hall
meeting, the board decided to “take a step back” from the proposed cell towers. Farrar addressed the board regarding the most recent update. “In response to the concerns voiced by many members, the board has directed the Association’s staff to ‘take a step back’ from the proposed cell tower project. We are researching all other possibilities and alternatives for enhancing cell
service for our community including the possibility of expanding the existing DAS (Distributed Antenna System) system and working with the county regarding existing right of way uses,” he said. Farrar explained that the goal was to facilitate an open exchange of information to all members. “I will be shepherding TURN TO CELL TOWERS ON 23
RANCHO SANTA FE — Pure concern emanated from a recent school board meeting regarding the health impact of artificial turf at R. Roger Rowe School. Amanda and Ali Shapouri, who have three children attending the school, delivered a powerful presentation in tandem with providing laboratory turf results from Geocon Inc., who used Advanced Technology Laboratories. Amanda Shapouri prepared a letter to the board as well as the lab results. The current lab results examined the shredded tires, also referred to as crumb rubber. Independently, the Shapouri family brought a sample to the laboratory for testing. She wrote, “My husband and I are concerned that our school’s football field may be exposing our children to toxins that could have irreversible health impacts not just on our children but all the children at the school as well as staff members.” The Shapouri family has directed the school to not have their children play on the field. In her letter, she also cited the following, “As indicated on these results our football field is made up of materials that contain numerous toxins. Although these toxins do not exceed the ‘acceptable level’ of toxic materials presence as established by our govern-
all agree any level of toxic materials around our children and staff is a major concern and it should not be allowed in our school.” Ali Shapouri told the board and those present that he understood that the artificial turf was done as a water reduction strategy. “We understand all of that, but sometimes environmental decisions have unpredictable consequences,” he said. Ali Shapouri went on to say that what they were proposing to do was to work with staff and a group of parents. He also believed they should go back to a natural field with organic fertilizer. A nearby property owner, he said, has committed to give an unlimited amount of ground of water in order to replace the grass field. “We would like to work on that plan,” he said, adding how a separate artificial grass blade testing was currently underway. “Let’s address this issue.” Superintendent Lindy Delaney said the school has undergone their own artificial turf testing but had not found any toxicity levels which generated an immediate cause of action. However, Delaney said they were meeting with the San Diego County Office of Education in TURN TO TURF ON 23

$25,000 grant helps with San Dieguito River restoration RSFA board commends
accounting department
By Christina Macone-Greene
REGION — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Partners for the Fish and Wildlife Program gifted a $25,000 grant enabling the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy to jumpstart the Fairbanks Ranch Invasive Removal and Stream Enhancement Project. The mission is to remove invasive plants while restoring the native habitat in the area of the San Dieguito River adjacent to Fairbanks Ranch. According to Jessica Norton, conservation manager of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, talks started in 2014 and the first phase of the pilot program was completed in a span of two weeks in Oct. 2015. Norton said they have about 10 property owners signed on with a potential of up to 45 residents. “We’re hoping that in this pilot portion of the project, when people see all the great progress that’s being made, that they’ll want to sign up and actually allow us onto their property to treat more areas,” she said. While work in the riverbed is currently being

halted during bird breeding season, restoration efforts will be relaunched for another phase once again after Sept. 15. As the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy is helping lead the way in these restoration efforts, other major partners include the Fairbanks Ranch Homeowners Association, San Dieguito River Park,
private landowners who are signing up to be part of the project, and the California Native Plant Society. Norton describes the California Native Plant Society as the “boots on the ground” who are helping with the actual invasive plant removal work. Another important group that volunteered last October in these efforts was
the American Conservation Experience (ACE). A total of 10 people pitched in for this project. “They (ACE) are like your local conservation core that actually brings in youth that are considering conversation as a career,” Norton said. “It gives them the firsthand experience TURN TO GRANT ON 23

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Association board was impressed by how the Association’s controller, Matthew Ditonto, presented the accounting updates with three different financial statements. The first to compliment Ditonto was board member Fred Wasserman. He also acknowledged how Don May, the finance and operations manager was also involved in the improvements. “This is the standard that we expect from the accounting department going forward,” Wasserman said. “So this means you will have the numbers so that the people in the Association can see exactly how well the Association’s doing and ask questions regarding finances.” Board member Mike Licosati described the accounting improvements as a real quantum leap. By having a three-part financial statement, which the Association never had before, provided the board and members with a better ability to understand the financial aspect. As a professional financial analyst, Licosati described this as essential. “You cannot analyze a business without threepart financial statements, and having been on the finance committee in 2005 and 2006, I really never knew what was going on,” he said. Licosati continued, “And now, you know in ten minutes and really have a good sense of where we stand.” Licosati called the accounting efforts a real accomplishment and told May and Ditonto to keep up the good work. Board member Kim Eggleston chimed in next saying that accounting is sometimes a topic where people’s eyes just glaze over; and, member comments are generally about procedural items regarding meetings and issues. Eggleston went on to say that in regard to their accounting, there was an
ciencies, which had been remedied within a year. “And I applaud you for that,” Eggleston said. May thanked the board for the compliments. He also went on to say how the accounting issue when first addressed was best described as pervasive and it was significant. “We basically redid the entire infrastructure not only of the underlying backbone of the basic communication systems but also the report writing and the accounting systems,” he said. Also discussed was staffing. According to Ditonto, the Association was at a place where they have staff and facilities to handle the membership demand as well as running the day to day happenings at the Association. “We’re putting procedures in place so we can start running a business, and like a business, it just ticks like a clock; and, if anything comes up we have the capability then to handle excess work,” he said, Ditonto mentioned how the Association has three additional staff members including a fulltime human resources director, and her assistant, that also does payroll. “And Brooke (Nichols) has taken on a huge role especially now with the absence of Daria (Quay),” he said. “So we’ve done very well with planning our staffing and controlling costs.” President of the board Ann Boon then suggested if staff was at a point where cross-training of these positions could be done. She mentioned that this topic was brought up at a finance committee. “Absolutely,” Ditonto said. “And we are.”

A matter of ‘following the math’ By Marlene E. King
Minimum wage will worsen opportunity inequality By Patricia Bates
When Governor Jerry Brown recently signed a new law to increase the minimum wage 50 percent by 2022, it was hailed by some as an historic achievement that will reduce income inequality. But I fear that when the law is fully implemented, income inequality will remain virtually unchanged while making opportunity inequality even worse. The new law is a shortterm “fix” that will create long-term negative impacts. Although the new law gives businesses with 25 employees or fewer more time to comply, this “concession” merely delays the inevitable choices they may have to make — reduce hours, raise prices or cut workers — or all of the above. When the Legislature considered the minimum wage proposal, I received many calls and emails from concerned constituents and small business owners from North County and beyond. Some said they may have to move to another state with lower costs. My discussions with them confirmed my belief that raising the minimum wage is a false promise to those who are struggling to get ahead. Let me share what I have heard from businesses on Main Street. First, they have had to absorb higher costs from the Affordable Care Act and new sick pay mandates. They are also dealing with increases in the cost of workers’ compensation insurance and new costs for complying with various environmental regulations. And these businesses are still struggling to absorb increases to the minimum wage that the state mandated in recent years: a 12.5 percent increase in July 2014 and another 11.1 percent hike earlier this year. Now the minimum wage is set to incrementally increase from the current $10 to $15 in 2022, and perhaps more as it will be
indexed annually for inflation thereafter. If you ran a small business, could your budget absorb that kind of increase while keeping the same number of employees? When the California Restaurant Association and I held a roundtable discussion last October with local restaurant owners at Encinitas’ Roxy Restaurant and Ice Cream, they said that existing laws and regulations made it difficult for them to stay in business. Rising costs could force them to hire less. It is not just small business owners saying this. University of California, Irvine, economics professor David Neumark recently es-
at $4 billion annually by 2021. This is because the state employs many workers earning minimum wage. It is ironic that the governor once opposed increasing the minimum wage because it would hike government’s cost. But apparently he found an extra $4 billion each year to pay for the new mandate. Given that the governor is saying that the state does not have enough money to repair our deteriorating roads and bridges, his decision to add another $4 billion to the state budget is curious. This tells me that Sacramento has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
My discussions with them confirmed my belief that raising the minimum wage is a false promise to those who are struggling to get ahead timated that the minimum wage increase could cost 5 to 10 percent of low-skilled workers their jobs. One medium-sized business I spoke with, that currently has multiple locations, outlined the impacts that closing just one location will have: • 30 employees will lose their jobs, many of which are senior citizens supplementing their retirement incomes; • 25 sales representatives will have one less account to call on; • There will be one more vacancy in a community shopping center; and • There will be a loss in sales tax revenue to the state.
As a former social worker who worked in some of our state’s most troubled communities, I found that many people just wanted an opportunity to move up. Their goal was not to earn a higher minimum wage because they did not want to be stuck in a minimum wage job for life. What they wanted was a good education and the opportunity to pursue their dreams. California should be focusing on boosting educational opportunities for all and making it easier to invest in our state. Instead, California has just passed a mandate making it more expensive to create jobs, which may lead to a perverse result — fewer jobs.
Senator Patricia Bates This is just one example of the impact to the private (R-Laguna Niguel) represents the 36th Senate District in sector. But what about the the California Legislature, public sector?

As a sitting member of the Santa Fe Irrigation Board of Directors, I would like to take this opportunity to correct a statement reported to be made by Michael Bardin, general manager, SFID. He was quoted as saying, “Some folks may see a very slight increase. And some folks may see a very large increase.” (April 15, “SFID proposed rate increase discussed at Association meeting”). That statement is true, but it is not a complete answer, and certainly not a transparent answer. What the general manager neglected to say was that 30 percent of the Single Family bills will receive a -4.6 percent decrease. (Cost of Service Study, Table 7-1, p. 53.) sfidwater. org/2016coss. I attended the first of the Community Forums designed to inform SFID ratepayers of both the revenue needs of the district and the proposed rate increases. Again, Mr. Bardin did not state the complete facts of the Single Family rate proposals, leaving out the
significant fact that almost a third of the Single Family customers will receive a decrease in their rates. I heard Mr. Bardin state: “these things have moved around a little bit… it’s a matter of following the math.” I agree. Please do follow the math. Click on the Cost of Service Study, page 53, and read for yourself exactly how “following the math” results in a wide range of rate changes. Changes range from a 46.8 percent increase for the customers who use the very least amount of water, to a 23.2 percent increase for customers who use the highest amounts of water. (These percentage increases are for the first year of a three-year increase…rates for years two and three will be compounded, another fact omitted in the “Notice of Public Hearing”.) The reason customers were mailed out the eightpage “Notice of Public Hearing” is the California Constitution requires this notice, requires ratepayers be made aware if a majority of ratepayers submit written protests before the end of the May 19 Public
Hearing, the board is prohibited from implementing the proposed new rates. California Constitution Article XIIID, SEC.6, Section 5. Liberal Construction, states the following: “The provisions of this act shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purpose of limiting local government revenue and enhancing taxpayer consent.” Customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District deserve a direct, candid, comprehensive discussion of the entirety of the rate proposals. The California Constitution gives customers the right of “enhanced taxpayer consent” via written protests. Find out exactly how the proposed water rates and the proposed drought rates will impact your bill, and then evaluate if you wish to exercise your Constitutional right to submit a written protest by May 18 to block the proposed rate increases. Marlene E. King is an SFID Board Member, Div. 3 (Fairbanks Ranch and large portion of Covenant).
Letters to the Editor Regarding the Cardiff Kook: The poor Kook never had a chance. Having surfed for 53 years I know surfers are some of the most opinionated people in the world. When the Kook was erected, there was going to be an outcry from some faction of the surfing populace. Since the Kook had an effeminate stance it united all factions. How dare he not be Macho? Amazingly a miracle happened.
EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Jim Kydd MANAGING EDITOR Tony Cagala
The creative residents began decorating the Kook with elaborate settings ranging from Jurassic Park to a Giant Great White devouring him. The Kook became cool! Calendars and Facebook documented these endeavors. Sadly the Kook has gone full circle. Now he is trashed with balloons and ribbons announcing birthdays, homecomings and graduations relevant to nobody but a few misguided individuals. Sorry, I don’t
care that Sally turned 7. I don’t know Sally, Tyler, Alex, etc. Also balloons are an ecological disaster. What’s next garage sale signs? Please leave the Kook alone unless you are going to go the extra mile and entertain the masses. Please leave your balloons and messages on your mailboxes. The Kook paid his dues, show some respect.

President of RSF Faculty Association speaks up By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE — On April 14, the Rancho Santa Fe School District board meeting was filled with both parents and faculty members. During the public comment portion of the meeting, teachers spoke to the board in regards to better pay, benefits, as well as other matters. The Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association is in the middle of contract negotiations and teachers wanted their voices to be heard. Also there was president of the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association and fourth grade teacher Amanda Valentine. She spoke about
“teacher concerns” which have emerged since board policy 4100. This policy pertains to rules of conduct by certificated employees. Valentine told the board she was hoping that their organization and the board could work together regarding these newly instituted work policies. “The school board passed two more policies that have lowered teacher morale and created unnecessary division between teaching staff and administration,” Valentine said. “Resolutions Q and R involve all unilateral changes to the dress code policy that afforded faculty virtually no input before its institution by
the board. As professionals we deserve a voice in determining policy changes that impact us.” According to the rules of conduct of resolution “Q” issued by the board, effective on March of 2016, “…all employees shall not display any temporary or permanent tattoos, scarifications or brands while they are acting within the scope of employment. This Board Policy does not prohibit them, but only prohibits displaying them during the scope of employment.” Resolution “R” underscored clothing, shoes and jewelry that underscored professionalism in a work environment. This also includ-
ed piercings. “Because the board continues to hold meetings during the course of the school day, our teachers are unable to share their concerns in a meaningful manner before the implementation of policies that may adversely impact teachers and students,” Valentine said. Valentine also told the board that meetings which are conducive to the schedules of both parents and teachers build community relationships as well as trust. Another issue Valentine addressed was the renewal of board policy 4111 entitled: “Enrollment of Children Whose Parents or Legal

worldwide effort including dozens of colleges and universities that strive to educate students to use their knowledge and skills to make a significant impact in other nations. “This is a wonderful opportunity to hear about Bishop’s efforts to encourage positive development in communities and educational institutions in more than 80 countries.

Guardians are Permanent Full-Time Certificated Employees of the District and Who are Not Residents of the District.” Certificated faculty members are voicing concerns that this item could be withdrawn or reworked during negotiations. Valentine pointed out that this board policy has been proven to be divisive, and due to its renewal may have a connection to the process of negotiations. She also described it as encouraging compliance over interest. “For the amazing teachers whose children attend our school, it is in the district’s best interest that such grade students are a
part of the Rancho Santa Fe School District. It is a mutually beneficial policy that attracts and retains gifted educators,” Valentine said. “Why is it now used as a tool to create division and worry among our fellow educators?” Valentine closed her statement by saying that it was her hope that the board would see that their organization is advancing teaching and learning within the community. And by doing so, “…cultivating working conditions that are attractive and accessible to professional educators who in turn will create the best learning condition for our students,” she said.
2015 was a good year for San Diego craft beer Northbound vince vasquez
E
very year, as part of my full time job as a think tank analyst, I survey San Diego County’s craft brewing industry and develop economic reports based on my findings. This last year had some surprising results, with implications for North County. Overall, 2015 was a good year for industry growth in the region; jobs, establishments and sales all increased on a year-toyear basis. In all, 114 breweries and brewpubs operated in San Diego County at the end of last year, generating $851 million in gross annual sales, and employing 4,512 workers. This was an increase of $125 million over 2014 levels. Of the 19 new breweries and brewpubs that opened their doors in 2015, only five of them are based in North County. The lion’s share instead opened in the Miramar and Kearny Mesa areas. Still, 2016 is already shaping up to surpass last year’s numbers — five of the 11 breweries and brewpubs that have opened thus far this year are based in Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista. Most surprisingly, industry wages have fallen in San Diego County. Previously, I reported that San Diego industry establishments offered the highest average industry wages among craft brewing regions. By 2015, however, that wage gap has closed. Data from Quarter 3 2015 indicates that wages in Portland and Boulder are now nearly identical to that paid in San Diego ($36,608, $36,400, and $36,816, respectively). It’s unclear why this happened. With North County’s
high cost of living, these wages put the need for more affordable housing and smart growth development in focus in our part of the region. Industry training programs based in North County may also be something worth considering, as part of workforce training and retention efforts. Most industry workers receive on-the-job training, or learn industry knowledge through hobbyist and competitive home brewing. However, formal industry education is a growing trend, particularly in San Diego, where there are now three major industry education programs — the San Diego State University (SDSU) College of Extended Studies Business of Craft Beer Professional Certificate, the University of California — San Diego (UCSD) Extension Brewing Certificate, both founded in fall 2013, and the Cal State San Marcos Professional Certificate for the Wine, Beer, and Spirits Specialist. Key to understanding the direction of the craft brewing industry is learning about the challenges and concerns of industry participants, and measuring those viewpoints in a quantitative way. As part of our survey, we asked respondents: “Looking towards future growth for your business, please rank only the top five issues that are impediments to growth.” We offered nine major policy categories to select from, based on prior surveys in other markets and interviews with industry participants. Overall, “access to capital” was the clear top choice among survey respondents, followed by “land/space/available real estate” and distribution. Taxes, state and federal regulations ranked lowest on the index scale. As the industry footprint grows within North County, so too has the inTURN TO NORTHBOUND ON 22

Candidates trade barbs at supervisor forum By Steve Puterski
RANCHO SANTA FE — In a spirited and at times heated forum Thursday, candidates for District 3 of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors engaged in attacks along with highlighting their own achievements at Morgan Run Club & Resort. Perhaps the biggest question, though, was whether Democrat incumbent Dave Roberts would comment on the recent decision of the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office to not file criminal charges stemming from a 2015 scandal and lawsuit involving three former employees. The former employees accused Roberts of, among other things, misusing county resources, creating a hostile work environment, having an unprofessional relationship, although not sexual, with a staffer, campaigning on county time and bribery. Roberts defiantly did not comment as to whom was on the hook for the $310,000 settlement, while Escondido Mayor Sam Abed and Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, both Republicans, each jumped on the first-term supervisor’s actions. Roberts said personnel matters are confidential, but when pressed about the settlement, he said to ask the county council. “My district knows me well,” he said. “The Board of Supervisors made a decision (the settlement) that I strongly disagree with. Throughout

all this, I have and will continue to provide leadership. This election is going to be about where the candidates stand on the issues. We’ve moved forward.” Roberts was steadfast in his defense and reiterated he hired the “wrong people” and continues to disagree with the county’s decision. He questioned critics of his ethics, saying he has since been appointed numerous leadership roles within the board’s range, including the Pres-
ident of California State Association of Supervisors out of 276 candidates. “The DA put out a statement and the statement speaks for itself,” Roberts said. “I took immediate responsibility and I took immediate action. I now have a team that is working with me working each and every day to solve the issues that the constituents want us to work (on).” Abed admitted the scandal was TURN TO CANDIDATES ON 23

Welch publishes new Lilian Rice book By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE — Considered an authority on master architect Lilian J. Rice, novelist and award-winning journalist Diane Welch has published her recent book, “The Life and Times of Lilian J. Rice, Master Architect.” It is the companion piece to her debut book, “Lilian J. Rice: Master Architect of Rancho Santa Fe.” Her first novel garnered much praise including winning first place in the San Diego Book Awards for biographies. Welch, an official biographer of Lilian Rice, continues to strive in making Rice a national figure. In the 1920s, Rice took part in overseeing the master-planned community of Rancho Santa Fe, while creating architectural masterpieces for high profile individuals and celebrities. While homes designed by Rice are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, other creations are deemed county landmarks, and the American Institute of Architects has honored Rice for her accomplish-
ments. What inspired Welch to write the companion book, a literary journalism genre, was that the entire story of Rice had not been told. “As I was doing the research, there were a lot of characters that came into play that were important characters in history that were going to get lost in history,” Welch said. “Some of them were really famous people like Bing Crosby, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, Sr.” Welch went on to say that there were other local heroes and characters that she wanted to focus on, as well. And this book served as the perfect literary venue. Welch describes her second book different from the first in that she is actually in the narrative. Framed within the story is Welch’s discovery. “It is rock-solid research, but I put myself in the narrative so people can kind of see how things unfolded to me,” Welch said. And it is investigations such as this which calls TURN TO AUTHOR ON 22

excited about the home’s possibilities. And while the excitement remains, Brooks knows there’s still a lot of work left to be done. The group moved in late last year and they’ve been getting the feel for the house and what potential it has before they re-embark on their cultural odyssey full time. Inside the house, members of the artful nonprofit, including Lianne Mueller, Dan Fauchier, Brooks and a host of volunteers have been working on their hands and knees, tearing up floors, demoing walls and doing whatever else they felt necessary to make the four bedroom, four baths home their own. And then there’s the “backyard” — a forest-like
area, complete with two walking bridges, hiking trails, birds and wildlife, and a natural stream that flows year-round, which Brooks said is 1,000 years old. The day Brooks saw the house listed online, was the day they went to see it. “We just jumped all over this, because it had a lot of what we wanted. It has the woods, it has the park, it was in our price range — so, we did it,” he said. The experience of finally moving out of the Del Mar house they’d been leasing and where it all began six years ago, Brooks described as “weird” and “emotional.” Owning a house now is also a big weight off their shoulders, he explained. “The whole thing of not knowing if we were going to stay or not and what the future (was) — we kind of have a clear picture of the future and we’re very excited about it,” he said. Brooks said there were a lot of things in the works for the new house, though he couldn’t go into detail on most. But he did mention their hopes of building a recording studio for bands and musicians, creating an organic garden and partnering with Felicita Park officials. Their first artists in residency are a trio of Europeans going under the name 1+1=3. The group, comprised of neuroscientist Stephen Whitmarsh, artist Per Huttner and musician Jean-Louis Huhta, makes music
through brainwaves — done through what they call an EEGsynth. That melding of music with the neurosciences seems to be a running theme with the Ship founders, including their Rhodopsin — a sensory experience art installation from sound artist Greg Smaller, neurobiologist John Reynolds and Brooks. “Art and science and perception is a big part of what we do,” Brooks said. “And with the house and this domestic environment — and that art’s not just in box galleries and institutions — that it’s in everyday life and your domestic space.” The house at 3007 Felicita Road was built in 1954. The previous owner, Brooks said, was an arborist that had planted some of the property’s many trees and plants. “It’s pretty rare to find something like this,” Brooks said. The house gives the artist the opportunity to interact with the environment to see what can be created from it. “I think it’s a very creative environment,” said Brooks. “We’ll like having to share this with everyone.” The group plans on doing three to four house shows a year and will put on more events elsewhere. They’re anticipating June 4 as the tentative grand opening date for the public. Check shipinthewoods.com or their Facebook page for more details.

World War II history flies into Carlsbad By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — A taste of history is flying through San Diego County. And next week, the Wings of Freedom Tour will cut through the air above Carlsbad and North County. The tour began this week at Gillespie Field Airport in El Cajon before moving to the Ramona Airport on Wednesday running through today. The final destination, however, begins April 28 at the McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad. The Wings of Freedom Tour features the World War II vintage Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress “Nine O Nine” heavy bomber, the Consolidated B-24 Liberator “Witchcraft” heavy bomber and P-51 Mustang fighter. The B-17 is one of only eight in flying condition in the United States, while the B-24 and P-51 Mustang are the sole remaining examples of their type flying in the world. The tour is organized by the Collings Foundation, a non-profit educational foundation, devoted to “living history” events allowing people to learn more about their heritage and history through direct participation. In its 27th year, tour visits average 110 cities in over 35 states annually. Since its start, tens of millions of people have seen the B-17, B-24
Iconic World War II planes as the B-24, foreground, and the B-17 will be on display at the McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad beginning April 28. Photo courtesy the Collings Foundation
and P-51 on display at locations everywhere. The tour travels the nation as a flying tribute to the flight crews who flew them, the ground crews who maintained them, the workers who built them, the soldiers, sailors and airmen they helped protect; and the citizens and families that share the freedom that they helped preserve. The B-17, B-25 and B-24 were the backbone of the American effort during
the war from 1942 to 1945 and were famous for their ability to sustain damage and still accomplish their missions. Despite the risks of anti-aircraft fire, attacking enemy fighters, and the harrowing environment of sub-zero temperatures, many B-17s and B-24s safely brought their crews home. The P-51 Mustang was affectionately known to bombers as “Little Friend” — saving countless crews from attacking Axis fight-
ers. After the war, many aircraft were scrapped for their raw aluminum to rebuild a nation in post-war prosperity and therefore very few were spared. The rarity of the aircraft and their importance to telling the story of WWII is why the Collings Foundation continues to fly and display the aircraft nationwide. At each location, the foundation encourages local veterans and their families

Train where you want: concierge personal trainer makes house calls By Hanna Laukkanen
“I can see that you have more strength left,” says Rachael Stoltz, personal trainer. “Six more!” Stoltz is training with me in my gym, which is the place I wanted to work out. The training is very efficient, and I truly can feel the fat burning. Stoltz explains that building lean muscle will burn fat and increase my strength. Meanwhile, Stoltz’s business idea is founded in availability — to come where her customer wants to work out. “When I come to wherever they want to, they don’t have any excuse left not to train. In many cases, people don’t have time to work out or they can’t drive to the gym,” Stoltz says. She helps older people train in their homes. Seniors want to maintain their ability to move and do regular stuff like go to the grocery store or walk their dogs. Some of them want to exercise in a safe environment, maintain their bal- Personal trainer Rachael Stoltz offers personal training wherever the customers want to work out: at home, at parks, at the office, at beach, at gym.

Stoltz always brings her equipment with her — yoga mats, click weights, balls and ropes — so that the customer can try different workouts. San Diego resident Stoltz is originally from Poway and has a kinesiology degree in physical therapy and more

than 12 years of training experience. I want to get more muscle. Stoltz shows me simple moves to develop my abs, biceps, triceps and shoulders and to help my sore neck. She is very patient and knowledgeable. Stoltz helps clients work out how they want; training depends on what they want to achieve.
“It’s great if something truly motivates a customer to train,” she says. “The real reason to work out has to be something that they value in life, for example to be able to play with your grandkids or maintain the relationship with your significant other or live longer. “The results are incredible. I have an 82-year-old client that tripped and caught himself with only his hands in a push up position. His knees never touched the ground. Your body doesn’t care how old you are. You can build strength and lean muscle at any age.” Stoltz’s life goal is to help people live healthful lifestyles by creating balance and joy in her customers’ lives. “Outside shows what is inside,” she says. “I want to deal with forgiveness and guilt and get the problems inside solved.” Stoltz offers a free initial workout and consultation.

Mike Grgich turns 93 — makes more wine history taste of wine frank mangio
T
he evening of April 2 at La Quinta Resort will always be a special time and place. Miljenko “Mike” Grgich, my wine hero and world renowned Napa Valley winemaker, considered to be the pioneer of Napa Valley wine excellence, invited me to be with him for his gala celebration. He was being honored for several milestones: his new biographical book launch “A Glass Full of Miracles,” the 40th anniversary of his smashing victory over French chardonnays at the Paris Tasting of 1976, (of which there are plans for a major movie on this event) Mike Grgich, center, the Napa Valley King of chardonnay, with long-time Croation friend Nikola Vrdoljack, and most importantly, to left, and wine columnist Frank Mangio, right.

documented in the new book “A Glass Full of Miracles,” now available at grgich.com. It traces his childhood in Croatia, his arrival in the U.S. to make wine in the Napa Valley 50 years ago and the miracles and fame that followed. Grgich continues his journey in wine as he guides Grgich Hills Estate and plans for its future with his daughter Violet Grgich and his nephew Ivo Jeramaz. “My father had a rule he taught me,” Grgich said. “Every day do your best, learn something new, and make a friend. The winery keeps improving. It now farms 366 acres from the original 18 in Rutherford. “It is now organic, farmed naturally with no artificial fertilizers, pesticides or fungicides. All of the wines are estate grown, produced and bottled. Occasionally I will run across a reader or two that declares winemaking should only concentrate on what is happening now in the industry, and bypass the legacy. I say, those that ignore or mock history, are least prepared for the future. Congratulations Miljenko “Mike” Grgich. Keep showing us more miracles.

The School of Rock difference
Odd Files By Chuck Shepherd That’s Entertainment! One notably hypersuccessful YouTube channel (700,000 subscribers) features Mr. Lauri Vuohensilta of Finland pulverizing various objects (such as a bowling ball) in a 100-ton hydraulic press. (Said Vuohensilta, “I think it’s built into every person — the need to destroy
something.”) That channel is free of charge, but other entrepreneurs have created 24-hour pay-per-month websites and apps offering similarly specialized programming, e.g., “Zombie Go Boom” (actors taking chain saws to things; $5 a month), “Hungry Monk Yoga” (posing in orange robes while teaching martial arts; $15 a month), and “Lather Fantasies” (clothed people “excessively shampooing each other’s hair”; $20 a month). (An
April Wall Street Journal report noted that the “lather” channel “sounds kinkier than it actually is.”) Recurring Themes Restaurants in Tokyo continue their vigilance for unique, attention-demanding animal themes to attract diners. Eateries showcasing tableside cats, rabbits, owls, hawks and even snakes have tried their hands, with the latest being Harry, offering food and drink — and 20 to
At School of Rock, we believe the best way to learn music is to play music. Through our performance-based approach to music instruction, School of Rock students are more inspired to learn, more motivated to excel, and more confident as a result. We combine weekly private music instruction with group band rehearsals to prepare students to take the stage in front of live audiences in a concert setting. Our Performance Program introduces teamwork and collaboration into mu-
sic instruction by grouping students together to put on real rock shows at real music venues. Students learn musicianship and how to perform in an authentic rock show environment. Each season, students hone their music skills by learning some of the greatest songs in rock and roll history. In our Rock 101 program, kids just starting out will learn the fundamentals of playing a musical instrument in a fun and interactive group environment. Songs are chosen to
build a strong foundation on a respective student’s musical instrument. Our Summer, Winter and Spring Break Camps are designed for musicians of all skill levels who play guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and vocals. Honing music performance and ensemble skills in a fun environment, students work in a hands-on atmosphere that includes learning the nuts and bolts of live performance, interacting with other musicians, Rock & Roll music appreciation, and a LIVE rock show!
30 teacup-size hedgehogs for diners to fondle while awaiting meal service. The equivalent of $9 brings an hour of cuddling rights. Smooth Getaway: The December burglary of the Halifax bank in Sale, England, drew attention even though the hour was just after midnight — because Jamie Keegan and Marc Shelton (both age 33) had tried to haul away an ATM, but it fell out the back of their van, producing calam-
itous noise (and sparks in the road). (Also, the ATM had an “out of order” sign on it, raising still another question about the efficacy of the crime.) In February the Minshull Street Crown Court sentenced the pair to 40 months each in prison. (Bonus: In court, Shelton helpfully corrected the legal record by reminding officials that the pair’s crime was actually “burglary” and not, as written, “robbery.”) The most recent sus-
pect to have the bright idea to try biting off his fingertips (to avoid identification) was Kirk Kelly, wanted in Tampa for violating probation and picked up by police in February in Akron, Ohio. While being detained in Akron, he had begun to chew the skin off his fingers. Even if he had succeeded, he was easily identified as Kirk Kelly because of his body tattoos (“Port Tampa” and “813” — Tampa’s area code).

ENCINITAS —Characterized by unearthly, metallic-looking, deep turquoise blooms that are punctuated by bright orange anthers, the Puya alpestris, commonly known as the Sapphire Tower, looks like nothing else in the plant world. This striking flower is now in bloom at the San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas. A native plant of South America, this Chilean species is a member of the pineapple family, with flowers measuring 2-inches across with a number of
them blooming up an 18inch spike (or tower) over a two to three week time frame. It has been two years since this Sapphire Tower, located in the South American Desert Garden, has bloomed at San Diego Botanic Garden. According to former Horticulture Director Dave Ehrlinger, these specimens were most likely planted by Ruth Larabee, former owner of the property that now houses more than 4,000 species of plants in 29 uniquely themed gardens over 37 acres.

Educational Opportunities MiraCosta College to offer bachelor’s degree in biomanufacturing MiraCosta College is set to take a huge step forward in becoming among the first community colleges in California to offer a bachelor’s degree as it prepares to accept applications this fall for its inaugural cohort of students. The biomanufacturing program is aimed at setting students up for state-of-theart work in the thriving manufacturing sector of the biotechnology industry, including technical, quality assurance and quality-control related positions. MiraCosta was among one of just 15 community colleges that in 2015 secured the green light from the California Community Colleges’ Board of Governors to host a pilot bachelor’s degree program in career technical fields. “This is an historic time not just for California’s community colleges, but also for MiraCosta College,” said MiraCosta College Superintendent/President Sunny Cooke. Students who have already earned an associate degree and are applying to the new biomanufacturing baccalaureate degree program will be notified as early as next spring if they will be among the first cohort of up to 30 juniors to enroll in the fall of 2017, said Mike Fino, MiraCosta College
interim dean of math and sciences, who is heading the program. The biomanufacturing degree builds upon the MiraCosta College’s existing biotechnology program, which already offers three certificates and one associate degree. Upper-division course work will comprise two primary areas of concentration: biomanufacturing science & technology and biomanufacturing quality. “The biomanufacturing baccalaureate program will help fulfill an unmet workforce need for the greater San Diego region,” said Dr. Cooke. “It builds on an already exemplary Biotechnology Program and is responsive to the local need for trained manufacturing and production technicians in North County. Due to our location and our relationships with local biotechnology companies, MiraCosta College is uniquely positioned to meet this biotechnology workforce need.” According to the 2014 Talent Report on California Workforce Trends in the Life Science Industry, most positions in the biomanufacturing industry require a four-year degree, and manufacturing positions in biotechnology were second only to research and development hiring over the previous two years. Sev-
eral biotechnology companies in the area supported MiraCosta College’s bachelor’s degree program – including Genentech, Gilead Sciences, Inc., and Thermo Fisher Scientific. “There's no better statement of our commitment to being a conscientious community partner than pursuing this degree on behalf of our local industry to provide an unmatched educational experience that speaks directly to their workforce needs in biotech manufacturing,” said Fino, who noted the total tuition cost for the fouryear bachelor of science degree will be about $10,000. A full-time counselor will work with students in the program, and MiraCosta College will contract with graduate students and alumni to provide high-level tutoring. The projected starting hourly wage of students completing the baccalaureate is nearly $23. Experienced workers advancing into management positions have the potential of earning an hourly wage of more than $59. “This is a remarkably worthy degree program that is industry-responsive with well-paid, in-demand career paths within an industry segment that is one of the largest in the nation,” said Fino.

I’m intrigued, too, by “Stung,” by Bethany Wiggins, a sci-fi version of “Sleeping Beauty.” I have to recommend several of our newer arrivals that delighted me, and are favorites of the fifth and sixth graders as well. “The Neptune Project” tells of youngsters whose DNA is altered allowing them to breathe under water. “A Mango-Shaped Space” is a story of a child with synesthesia, or seeing

In the Beaumont family, each child grows into a special power when they turn 13. They don’t know what their power will be, and they have to learn how to control it. It’s a very clever way of addressing the issue of growing up. I also love “Music of the Dolphins” by another terrific author, Karen Hesse. Hesse’s specialty is histor-
ical fiction about adolescent kids, but “Dolphins” is a modern but wonderful premise. A toddler survives a plane crash and is then raised by dolphins. She is later found by humans, who work to civilize her. Interesting ending. OK, I’ll stop now, though my list goes on. “So many books, so little time.” Happy reading.

upon Welch to speak at architectural organizations, historical societies and more. While Welch takes readers on a journey to yesteryear, she dives directly into the controversy that surrounds Rice. “There are some people who think that she lied about her role in Rancho Santa Fe as a lead designer,” Welch said. Rice was employed by Richard Requa of the Requa and Jackson Architectural Firm. Some critics believe since the firm received the commission to design and develop Rancho Santa Fe that they should be given credit from 1923 to 1928 since Rice had not obtained her architectural license then. “However, I beg to differ in the fact that she The Coastal Artists’ Group will be exhibiting original artwork at “Spring ArtFling ‘16” from May 1 to June 30 at 3919 Townsgate Drive.

didn’t have an architectural license does not negate her from being the architectural designer of those homes,” she said. Rice received her license in 1929, Welch said. Rice designed countywide and it’s estimated that she designed 64 buildings in Rancho Santa Fe. Another controversy is the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe formerly known as the Guesthouse. Critics say that Rice lied about doing that design work, Welch noted, to garner more commissions from new residents moving into Rancho Santa Fe. “My argument is that she actually did do the design work,” she said. “All the drawings are in her hand.” Throughout her research, Welch has come to highly respect Rice. “I admire that she
was a professional in a man’s world. She ran her own business which was very unusual back in the 1920s,” Welch said. “And she thrived during the Great Depression and I think that’s pretty incredible.” It is Welch’s hope that those who read her newest book walk away with a new level of understanding. “I would like people to believe like I do that Lilian Rice is a national figure of great importance and that she should be revered,” she said. While the Rancho Santa Fe Pharmacy and Gift Store are selling signed copies of “The Life and Times of Lilian J. Rice, Master Architect,” Welch will also be presenting her book at the Rancho Santa Fe Library May 19 at 11 a.m. For more information visit DianeYWelch.com.

to actually conduct some of this work themselves and learn about why it’s important.” Since more monies are needed in completing this project, Norton pointed out that moving forward all the grants written are including ACE. While invasive plants are being weeded out, as well as the biomass, fire safety is also playing an important role. Norton shared how their organization attended some of Fairbank Ranch’s fire safety meetings to support them and heard how a couple of homeowners were really concerned about the invasive plants and wanted them cleaned out of the riverbed. “So they were seeking help and how to actually move forward to get some of this work done,” she said.

the reason for him joining the race, while Gaspar said it was a factor for her as well. On numerous occasions, Abed has railed against Roberts for the scandal and Thursday was no different. He said Roberts’ actions have broken the public’s trust and shows a lack of integrity. “I am the first one who called for Supervisor Roberts’ resignation because it’s not right to lose the public trust,” Abed said. “The taxpayers wrote a $310,000 check because he could not manage his staff. Integrity matters in this campaign. Supervisor Roberts is disqualified to be supervisor. It’s corruption. You don’t have to go to jail to be disqualified as supervisor.” Gaspar, meanwhile,

The major intrusive plant primarily being targeted is the Arundo Donax, also known as giant reed. “A lot of people mistake it for bamboo,” Norton said. “Not only is it a major fire concern, but it causes a lot of flooding because when it comes into an area, it completely takes over and pushes out all your native plants and then you have just one monoculture of this horrible plant.” Norton pointed out that the giant reed does not provide any habitat for native species. The giant reed does not offer any food value and bird nesting cannot happen with this plant species. Norton said the generous grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was “seed money” to get the ball rolling. Norton wants people to know that this project is part of other major resto-
ration projects performed in areas such as Del Dios Gorge, San Dieguito Lagoon, Lake Hodges and San Pasqual Valley. Norton hopes that 100 acres will be treated for the Fairbanks Ranch Invasive Removal and Stream Enhancement Project which equates to 2.5 miles of the riverbed. And the project is slowly expanding. “I’d also like to say that this project is not just about invasive removal,” Norton said. She continued, “A big part of it is about education and we really want the local residents in the community to know not only why we’re doing this project, but how they can create fire safe landscapes around their own home and preferably using native species if they can.” For residents who want to learn more about this project, contact Norton at (858) 755-6956 or email her at jess@sdrvc.org.
level of toxins. RSF School District board president Tyler Seltzer said he wanted to hear from more experts as well as seeing what local schools that installed artificial turf will be doing next. While mentioning his involvement with Little League and the safety of the kids, he also wanted to gather more information about the topic to become better educated. Ali and Amanda Shapouri wanted to continue the discussion but were over the 3-minute timeframe. Frustrations started to
rise because they wanted to continue the dialogue. RSF School District board vice president Todd Frank told the Shapouri family that the board was agreeing to further studies. “My children are out there, too. I am not any less concerned about that than you. In fact, you don’t know if I could be more concerned,” he said, noting how the board needed to take their approach with a chance to respond in a professional way. “By us saying we don’t want to hear more from you today does not mean that we’re not concerned.”

Farrar wanted to make certain that members knew that he would be accessible to them regarding this important topic. He also told the board and staff that no decisions regarding the improved cell coverage project would be made until members have proper notice and new information
would be heard more in future board meeting agendas. His description was a pragmatic one. Farrar asked that members contact him at the Association office as the project moves forward.
said the $310,000 payout is probably closer to $500,000 when adding the time and money paid to county staff during the investigation. She related it to her business, which she said would force her to close her doors. “It certainly represents poor management of the workplace no matter how it came to be,” Gaspar said. “It’s tough when you don’t have elected officials accounted for in that way. That’s a half-million dollars not going somewhere else.” However, Abed was later challenged about issues stemming from a parking lot he owns in Escondido and avoiding stormwater control system laws. The second-term mayor brushed off any insinuation of a scandal. He installed the system after a state investigation. “It’s a non-story, a non-issue,” he said.
