Designs on potential club revealed By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — A crowded room was the scene at the last Rancho Santa Fe Association board of directors meeting. Members in attendance were there to catch a glimpse of potential Covenant Club renderings. Leading the overview was Jerry Yahr, chair of the Covenant Club subcommittee, as well as board member of the RSF Association. Standing outside the boardroom were numerous members and both Yahr and Association president, Ann Boon, were concerned not everyone would be able to hear the presentation. Since every seat was taken in the board room, members were invited to find a seat on the floor and settle in. And they did. “The purpose of today’s meeting is really to provide an update to the board and to the community. We’re

a little bit late,” Yahr said. “We had actually tried to do this in November and then the agenda was pulled in December so now we’re doing it in January. It was originally scheduled to provide the board and the community with an update after the actual site selection was made to sit between the Player’s Club and the Tennis Club.” Yahr pointed out that although the agenda indicated that this was an action item, it was really only informational. No actions would be taken on that day. According to Yahr, committee members and subcommittee members are continuing to research and provide input in terms of technical issues and verifying codes. “In addition, we’re going through costing right now, and so we’re waiting on our consultant team which includes a cost estimator to analyze

these plans and bring forward their preliminary budget,” he said. Yahr went on to say that there would be a subtask force of the committee, which will work with the design team to understand those numbers. They will then present those calculations to the design committee. “So, we’re kind of in a work in progress right now, but I think it’s important for not only the board, but for the community to see where we are in the process and this is really where we are as of mid-late December,” he said. A schematic Covenant Club design was approved by the subcommittee last December which entailed a 12,2000 square foot facility sitting between the RSF Tennis Club and Player’s Club located at the RSF Golf TURN TO COVENANT CLUB ON 14

Overton re-addresses Association staffing levels By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At the last board meeting, Rancho Santa Fe Association manager, Bill Overton, revealed staffing changes and additions. During the January 2016 board of directors meeting, Overton provided a follow-up. While Overton is in the process of creating a staffing analysis, currently, he

had information to share with the board of directors and members. Overton noted that the topic of staffing was addressed following a response to concerns regarding the budget. A PowerPoint presentation revealed charts that were familiar to members and directors who were at the December meeting. Overton reiterated that two positions noted on the chart

in green were budgeted: communications manager and human resources director. “We have 150 employees. This is California. The employment law is intense and complicated,” said Overton, noting the need for an HR director. “We also needed a communications manager.” Overton then moved to two red boxes on the chart

Hope for better cell coverage nears By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Enhanced cell phone coverage in Rancho Santa Fe, a longtime topic, is beginning to take shape in terms of upcoming plans. At a Rancho Santa Fe board of directors meeting, board member Philip Wilkinson provided an initial update to fellow directors as well as members who were present. The Association’s tech committee has spearheaded the mission of cell coverage. According to Wilkinson, they are continuing to push closer to an agreement with a provider. Based on all of its studies, propagations and the maps of coverage, there would be greater cell coverage, he said. The board and members also learned that there are currently 45 antennas on telephone poles. However, they are designed to give users better coverage on the road.

“Once you get in your house, they do not penetrate very well,” Wilkinson said. “So we’ve got countless number of people that have complained to their providers and have talked to us on the technology committee about the lack of coverage in certain areas of the Ranch or in their homes. And it’s been very, very frustrating.” Wilkinson said that the tech committee has tackled this issue for nearly a year, have met with several providers, and also the companies who construct faux tree antennas to improve coverage. After meeting with the providers, Wilkinson said they are down to two choices. They are negotiating with Verizon and American Tower Corporation (ATC). It’s Wilkinson’s hope that the tech committee will have a recommendation for the board by February where they can TURN TO COVERAGE ON 14

Osuna Committe has vacant seat to fill By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At the start of the New Year, the Osuna Committee is offering a Covenant member the opportunity to serve their community. Currently, the committee has a vacant seat. Over time, this committee has provided continuity of preservation, direction and leadership. According to Jerry Yahr, who is the Osuna Committee Chair and Rancho Santa Fe Association board member, the Osuna Ranch is a 27-acre property upon which sits a historic adobe built in the 1830s and

also houses an equestrian facility. The property is owned by the RSF Association and Osuna is considered to be one of the oldest adobe residences in California, he said. “The Osuna Committee is charged with preserving the Osuna Ranch, guiding adobe restoration efforts and promoting use of the site to the community,” Yahr said. “The committee is an ideal one for residents who have an interest in and appreciation for the history of the community and for

those who would like to see residents enjoy this unique historic resource.” In terms of time commitment, committee members meet at 9:15 a.m. the third Monday of every month. Meetings take place for roughly an hour and a half in the adobe, Yahr said. In addition to the meetings, committee members also have the option if they like to offer more of their time. According to Yahr, this includes additional support to the committee via marketing, fundraising and community service efforts.

“This committee does not require excessive time commitments as some other committees may and would be a good initial experience for those who have not served on an Association committee,” Yahr said. He added, “Serving on RSF Association Committees is a way for residents to give back to the community, share their unique talents and help shape the future of Rancho Santa Fe.” For additional information, Covenant members are invited to call the RSF Association at (858) 756-1174. ​

RANCHO SANTA FE — Rancho Santa Fe School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney presented detailed information to the board of trustees regarding the school gym quandary. Delaney indicated that her research and work with Debra Vaughn-Cleff, of Webb Cleff Architecture and Engineering helped ensure due diligence. To date, a facilities needs assessment has been completed as well as the study of a future facility with court variations. Delaney first presented the renderings of a two-court gym at 17,600 square feet. It would house a lobby, restrooms, storage, ticketing and concessions, wrestling, dance and changing rooms as well as an elevator and bridge connecting building 400. “After doing some work with a couple other construction companies taking down some of the cost, we feel like we would probably get the two-court done for about $16.2 million,” she said. A three-court facility, however, would cost $19,050,000. The other option is “do nothing” in terms of keeping the current gymnasium but do repairs. The building was built in

aney, repairs would be roof replacement at $243,000; existing beams repair at $320,000; refurbishing and maintaining floors at $35,000; and other repairs totaling $25,000. On hand was VaughnCleff who conveyed that any structure modifications to the existing gym could potentially generate mandated upgrades from the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). Also discussed was how the current gym had an approximated shelf life of five to 10 years if the district chose not to do any repairs. For new gym construction, Delaney wanted the board to know that private funding was an option for consideration, which would necessitate a capital campaign. “I’d like to see if we could do some research about possible private funding, and then maybe come back to the board in February,” she said. Delaney added, “We might need some special board meetings in the next two months.” The other option would be a general obligation bond. Delaney told the board she would gather more data for their upcoming meeting in February.

Measure A deserves ‘yes’ vote By Greg Nelson

Motor voter law: Don’t expect mass election fraud California Focus By Thomas D. Elias

C

alifornia’s new “motor voter” law has now taken effect, even if it’s not yet in massive use, and so far the sky has not fallen. That was the prediction from many Republicans the moment Gov. Jerry Brown signed the new measure into law last fall, with many GOP activists predicting it would lead to “state sanctioned voter fraud” and flood the voting rolls with non-citizens. But it has not happened yet, and probably never will. That’s because the same rules that prevent undocumented immigrants from receiving the same type of California drivers license as citizens or legal residents will apply to everyone automatically registered to vote during visits to Department of Motor Vehicles offices. The new law registers every eligible Californian who goes to the DMV to get a drivers license or renew one. Once Secretary of State Alex Padilla has set up specific procedure to be followed in all offices, every eligible person who doesn’t opt out will be registered. The opt-out option will be offered to everyone qualified to vote. The fears of many Republicans stem from the fact that many new drivers license applicants today are Latinos and their participation rate in the last few elections has hovered just above 15 percent, the lowest for any ethnic group. Asian-Americans are next lowest. The GOP knows that Latinos who do vote have long gone mostly Democratic, one reason some Repub-

licans give for opposing a path to citizenship for the undocumented. The subtext of that opposition is simple: Make citizenship available to undocumented Hispanic immigrants and then make voting easy for them and the existing huge Democratic voter registration pluralities in California and elsewhere will become even more pronounced. This is one reason Republicans in many other states have made voter registration and voting itself more difficult for everyone, requiring some kind of official photo identification before even registered voters can get a ballot to fill out. California’s new law also requires photo ID, something GOP critics of the new law — passed without Republican support in the Legislature — ignore. A quick visit to the DMV’s website reveals that besides passing written and road tests, recipients of new legal-resident drivers licenses must show a Social Security card and prove their “legal presence” in California and the nation. That proof can be a birth certificate, a passport, an immigration green card or even Border Patrol crossing cards and Mexican consular IDs. Only those whose identification proves they are eligible to vote will automatically be registered. That’s why Padilla could confidently say after Brown signed the new law that “We’ve built the protocols and the firewalls to not register people that aren’t eligible. We’re going to keep those firewalls in place.” In fact, they’ve been up for years. But the Tea Party and other conservative organizations that oppose making voting easier for eligible citizens ignore all this. “The law…will guarantee that non-citizens will

participate in all California elections going forward,” Linda Paine, president of the Election Integrity Project of California, told a reporter. The new law, her website added, “facilitates noncitizens to register and vote with prosecutorial immunity and will break down the integrity of California’s election process to the point that it cannot be repaired.” But the DMV rules make it easy for any clerk to tell who’s an eligible voter, and Padilla promises the procedure he’s still setting up will ensure even more security. Registering to vote has always required showing some of the same documentation needed for a driver’s license. Forged versions of those documents are no easier or harder to obtain now than before. Which means that voter fraud — a negligible phenomenon in California up to now — figures to remain at about the same very low levels as ever. And yet, conservative Republicans who have long asserted — with no proof — that the undocumented vote in large numbers, insist there will be much more fraud. “This assures corruption of our elections,” Stephen Frank, former president of the California Republican Assembly, wrote on his blog. “Our elections will look like those of Mexico and other corrupt nations and honest people will stop voting since illegal aliens will outvote them.” In other words, Frank and other conservatives insist the sky is falling — but a quick look outside demonstrates that’s just not so.

I love Carlsbad! I have lived here since 1959, own a business in the Village, and have invested my life in this community we cherish. As a longtime resident, I believe the 85/15 Plan, now Measure A on the Feb. 23 ballot, is one of the most important projects I have seen. Measure A deserves our “yes” vote. A yes on Measure A vote will truly improve our city in several ways. First, something commercial will be built on the nearly 50 acres of land on Cannon Road. Whoever builds on that land does not have to do all the things the Caruso team is offering to do, like buy all 203 acres, build on only 26.7 and donate the remaining 177 acres to an independent trust to manage.

The acreage will be used to expand the strawberry fields, create biking and hiking trails and picnic areas, and enhance open space that currently is privately owned and off limits to the public. And Rick Caruso is going to pay for all the improvements and upkeep! Second, yes on Measure A will add approximately $2.6 million tax income to our city’s general revenue fund as well as create approximately 4,800 construction jobs and 2,400 new full time jobs when the project is complete. And finally, even the city’s in-depth traffic studies have said that YES on Measure A will give Carlsbad improved traffic flow because of the almost $10 million in road improvements and investments in synchronized traffic light technology that the measure requires from the

builder. Plus Caruso has committed to working with Village businesses to develop transportation enhancements that benefit all of Carlsbad’s shops, restaurants and entertainment destinations. I encourage fellow Carlsbad voters to get the facts. To get the best information—information you can trust, go to the city of Carlsbad’s website at carlsbadca.gov/cityhall/clerk/ voter.asp or visit the Community Information Tent, set up at the strawberry fields on Cannon Road at Interstate 5, where you can see the project more clearly for yourself. And after you get the facts, please vote yes on Measure A. Greg Nelson is a Carlsbad Resident and Village business owner.

Letters to the Editor Elevate the dialogue I moved here with my family nearly two years ago and we treasure our new community and its unique qualities as much as any long-term resident. Since our arrival, we have been consistently impressed by the level of commitment all residents seem to have to the Ranch and preserving its many treasures. Rare is the Rancho Santa Fe resident who does not happily volunteer time or contribute funds to the many good causes that are well-supported here. Unfortunately, this spirit is not to be found on the opinion pages of our local newspapers. I find the level of discourse there disappointing and inconsistent with the quality of the individuals I have encoun-

tered. The reality is that many of the subjects currently under debate in our community are the product of several individuals volunteering their time, energy and finances in furtherance of a goal they sincerely believe will improve life for all of us. Some of these folks have literally spent years in pursuit of their initiatives. Their leadership and goodwill should be appreciated whether or not one agrees with the result. While civil society certainly thrives in an environment of thoughtful, constructive debate, it should be just that…civil. Sniping at fellow residents who are sincere in their efforts to foster progress erodes the debate and discourages others who

might take up the cause of bettering our community. If you disagree with a proposal or project, by all means voice your opposition or better yet, offer a thoughtful alternative. But before you blithely dismiss something as a “three-ring circus,” “Disneyland” or a “monstrosity,” you might stop to consider that the subject of your ire is likely the product of someone who worked tirelessly in support of something they truly thought would improve the community. Let’s try harder to elevate the dialogue, offer solutions and set a better example for our younger residents. Sincerely, Lea Clay Park, Rancho Santa Fe

Broadband update for covenant members and board of directors By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At a recent Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting, both the board of directors and members who were there received current broadband updates. As the project continues to move forward, board director Philip Wilkinson, who is also on the tech committee presented an overall glimpse into the progress. Following a request for proposal quote (RFPQ), the Association received a response from 11 companies of interest. From there, they shortlisted their bidders down to two companies: Verizon and American Tower Corporation (ATC). Wilkinson then introduced an associate of Magellan Advisors, Chad Peace of IVC Media LLC, to

bring attendees up to speed as to future timelines. From an industry standpoint, Peace said bringing fiber optic to Rancho Santa Fe was a unique project because it was being done with an innovative approach. It’s an infrastructure which needs to be built in a lot of communities around the country, he said. “As you know, the infrastructure out here is outdated,” he said, referring to the Ranch. “I don't have to explain that to you guys.” Peace pointed out that by putting a fiber optic network into a community, whether or not one uses it, home values would immediately increase. What made the area of Rancho Santa Fe distinct was that major providers

By the end of February, we anticipate having responses from both of the bidders..” Chad Peace IVC Media LLC

looked more to higher densities which Rancho Santa Fe didn’t have. “So that left the board with the difficulty of how do you attract somebody to come and build the infrastructure,” he said. Following due diligence which was done at the start of negotiations in 2014, he

said, important background information was gleaned regarding where the industry was at. “And the conclusion was the industry wasn’t going to come into Rancho Santa Fe unless we paid them a lot of money to come here and paid a really high premium,” he said. Next, they began exploring other alternatives in February 2015. The most attractive alternative, Price said, was affording Rancho Santa Fe to have a partnership with the potential provider. And Rancho Santa Fe has ownership and control over the network. The RFPQ helped filter which providers would consider that Rancho Santa Fe had enough density, which triggered their interest. Peace said they were

Financial statement review spurs IT talk By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — On the heels of the Rancho Santa Fe Association manger’s financial statements update for November 2015, Overton’s previous staffing analysis still appeared to be on the minds of the board of directors. After Overton delivered how they were right on budget year to date, and how the Association did appropriate some additional monies to “finish out” the Village VIBE Committee and the Village Task Force Consulting, the topic of IT emerged. And it was board director Mike Licosati who brought the topic into the spotlight.

We’re still hosting our own email server which I think is sort of an antiquated way to handle it.” Mike Licosati Board Director

“Going back to the personnel, I think at some point we need to get a director of IT because we have a new website, we have e-blast ca-

pabilities and we’re going to have fiber optic,” he said. Licosati added, “We’re still hosting our own email server which I think is sort of an antiquated way to handle it.” Licosati recommended how the board needed to determine how to incorporate this IT position, describing it as a significant role. “We’re going to need it at some point,” he said. Director Jerry Yahr agreed with Licosati. Yahr said that during Overton’s staffing analysis update, he had some ideas and thoughts on how the work chart should appear. And one of his columns was IT.

President Ann Boon suggested bringing the work chart topic back following a talk in executive session. Overton who was on hand thought the suggestion was fabulous noting how staff would agree about doing something about an IT position. “I look at the staffing moves that we’ve made this past year so far as phase one,” he said. “As the new manager, there were a lot of changes, and we’ve stabilized that.” Overton said it was time to slow down and continue to be thoughtful for the future needs of the organization.

Yahr, Licosati and Directors ponder tennis club promotion Eggleston appointed By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Following some discussion, most of the Rancho Santa Fe Association board of directors considered the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club’s January 2016 holiday gift more as a promotion. “In the month of January, for Covenant members only, they can come in and try out the facility,” said Barbara McClanahan, president of the RSF Tennis Club. McClanahan went on to say that their plan was to offer complimentary clinics and to give Covenant members a “kick start” to see if they enjoy the game. Interested individuals could also have a private lesson with the club’s pros at half price. Those who take part in this also have the opportunity to attend social events at the club. “But it’s only for the month of January. It doesn’t extend beyond that,” she said. It was McClanahan’s hope that they could potentially attract a few new members. McClanahan went on to say that this January pro-

motion was much like they have done in the past with Rancho Days in where Covenant members were invited to stop by for complimentary visits. She compared this current promotion as the same type of introductory trial. Board director Jerry Yahr said if the Club was giving away free memberships for a year than that would be a different matter. What the club was offering was a short-term promotion to gain new membership. In 2015, the RSF Tennis club signed on 70 new members and now has more than 200 players. It was also named as the United States Tennis Professionals Outstanding Facility of the Year. Additionally, board director Phillip Wilkinson commended McClanahan and former president David Van Den Berg for doing a fabulous job in terms of adding membership. “It’s a totally different club,” Wilkinson said.

RANCHO SANTA FE — At the Jan. 7 Rancho Santa Fe Association board of directors’ meeting, a new committee was formed to study the Covenant Enhancement Fund. President Ann Boon presented the agenda item for a motion and all directors were in favor. New committee members are Jerry Yahr, Mike Licosati, and Kim Eggleston. Boon explained to Covenant members who were present that during the last board meeting, the Association’s new audit firm recommended that the Covenant Enhancement Fund undergo an as-

possibility of restructuring this fund would also be taken into consideration. Boon shared that the committee of three members comprised of Yahr, Licosati and Eggleston were currently directors of the board and had volunteered. This new committee will study the Covenant Enhancement Fund and arrive with a proposed policy and procedure for the board, Boon said.

excited to receive the 11 responses that ultimately have left them with Verizon and ATC. “These two bidders that we selected have very different approaches,” Peace said. Peace and the remainder of the team have now crafted a term sheet, which is essentially the next step of the project. “This term sheet goes through all the important points for the ownership and control, to warranties, to expected revenues so that from both of those providers we can get a common response, and that’s the next stage,” he said, noting how it was a negotiation process. Peace added, “By the end of February, we anticipate having responses from both of the bidders.”

Those responses will help leverage what’s needed for cross checking and comparisons. Peace went on to say that it was their goal to have something tangible for the board to review and sign by February or at the very latest, March. “From there we expect preconstruction and activity to take anywhere between three to nine months which will mostly be permitting and pre-due diligence. And then once that period’s done, the construction schedule is about 12 to 15 months,” Peace said. He added, “So it’s our goal that in a year and a half to two years that you will have gigabyte to the home, to capability to every single home in Rancho Santa Fe.”

RSF Association undergoes committee appointments By Christina Macone-Greene the full round of inter-

RANCHO SANTA FE — During a recent Rancho Santa Fe Association board of directors meeting kicking off the New Year, it was also a time to decide on committee appointments. Vacant spots to be filled included the Covenant Design Review Committee (CDRC), Trails and Recreation, and Osuna. First up was the CDRC. Robert Green, building commissioner for the RSF Association told the board and members that a few individuals were recommended for the vacancy. “The process from there is that the board would look at those names, perhaps endorse them as nominees, and then you as president would make the selection,” he said, addressing Boon. Boon noted that in past years, the CDRC approached the board with several recommendations of nominees that were interviewed and then a decision was made. This year, Boon said, the CDRC recommendation was very strong for one person. “I’ve chosen to skip

views and go with the committee’s recommendation,” Boon said. The person chosen was Tim Parillo. Boon thanked Parillo for volunteering as well as the CDRC for the strong endorsement. Phil Wilkinson then made a motion to add Tyler Seltzer as the new member for the Trails and Recreation committee. Seltzer also currently serves as board president for the Rancho Santa Fe School District. “I don’t know how many of you know Tyler,” asked Wilkinson, adding how Seltzer also ran the baseball league in town. “He’s incredibly smart, rational thinker, very professional, and very straightforward. I can’t endorse this guy enough.” The entire board of directors was in favor of Tyler Seltzer who will be fulfilling a three-year term. Director Jerry Yahr then addressed the Osuna Committee and one vacancy needing to be filled. Currently, this spot is in the recruiting phase as names and interested parties are collected.

Breast Cancer Detection I am one of the 47% of women who have dense-beast tissue. Mammograms can miss up to 50% of all invasive cancers. Why? Because dense-breast tissue shows up white on the mammogram. So does cancer! Doctors can’t SEE it! It’s even worse for women who have breast implants. The technology that can see through dense-breast tissue and implants is SonoCine Automated WHOLE Breast Ultrasound. I have to drive to Pasadena to have this exam. It’s saving lives all over the country but, NOT in San Diego! SonoCine AWBUS has no radiation or compression like mammography. It uses ultrasound or sound waves which is safe so you can have it at any age. The exam is painless and removes human error because it’s computer controlled. It’s the cost of a trip to Costco. Other Ultrasound exams can’t compare, period. We need this in our area. Sue Glaze Cancer Survivor

Bait, set and trap to all those rats small talk jean gillette

O

But these critters broke my cardinal rule of wildlife survival. Stay outside and I’ll share. Step across my threshold and you have a target on your back. So my husband brought me some fresh, new traps and I learned how to repeatedly get my fingers slammed in them. I finally mastered the art of baiting and setting and it wasn’t long before I got results. It made me feel like a medieval hangman. As I lay abed one night, I heard the distinct wham of a trap going off and then got to listen to the 30 seconds of struggle and death throes. Gag. As much as I hate rattraps, I hate them more when there is a dead rat in them. I reset two more traps today, although I have had no further clumsy R. rattus victims. I swear they can nibble the bait without setting them off, but based on the number of times I have bruised my fingers trying to set the traps, I marvel at how they manage it. My only joy is the absence of skittering feet sounds in the attic. But I am not confident that they are gone. I think they may have made silent, fluffy boots from the insulation.

K, I know we are all God’s creatures and that “eve r yb o dy ’s got to eat something,” but it just isn’t a level playing field. It turns out that rats can pop out a litter in about 24 days. Moreover, I can’t find any good reason for them in the big scheme of things. Our rats are the lucky ones that proliferate in Southern California where something edible is bursting forth all year round. We may host both types (Norway rat and roof rat) at the Gillette 24-hour rat buffet — aka our backyard — where we serve macadamia nuts, avocados, grapes, plums, apples and more. I had previously only heard thumpings and bumpings across the roof from the back bedroom, and that could have been raccoons or cats. Well, it could have. But I recently began sleeping in the bedroom underneath the attic and could Jean Gillette is a freelance no longer deny the very clear scampering of little rat feet writer with back-up traps, lots above my head. While they of peanut butter and a grudge in her heart. Contact her at stay outside, they remain my gardener husband’s problem. jgillette@coastnewsgroup.com.

Delaney updates board By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Inside the Performing Arts Center at the R. Roger Rowe School, Superintendent Lindy Delaney shared various updates to the board of trustees. One of which was how she and Marti Ritto, clerk for the board of trustees, attended a meeting hosted by the Legislative Action Network. Delaney said the event was an opportunity for superintendents and school board members to talk to those in government about what is important to them. “I was instructed to talk about teacher tenure,” Delaney said. Ritto described the

meeting as very interesting adding how valuable it was to have the opportunity to garner the attention of legislators on significant issues. “It was remarkable, actually,” she said. “I was real surprised that was no dissension on almost all of the topics.” Delaney also updated the board on how the school is taking a focus on the upcoming 2016-17 school year. Programs are being discussed as are previews. Delaney said that discussions with the education foundation are also on the list as well as other items as things progress and move forward. In regards to the heavy rains earlier in the month, Delaney said that their facilities weathered the storms with exception for a few leaks. “We were very lucky,” she said.

FACE Foundation readies for fundraiser By Christina Macone-Greene afford the high costs of

RANCHO SANTA FE — While the FACE Foundation is hosting its 6th annual Bags & Baubles silent auction May 1, there are plenty of preparations on their task list. This silent auction is a much anticipated fundraiser which helps local pets who require critical veterinary care. FACE is turning to its special community members for its annual donations to help animals in need. “FACE is now accepting donations of new and ‘gently loved’ high-end designer handbags, jewelry, accessories, and sunglasses for this year’s much anticipated Bags & Baubles event,” said Brooke Haggerty, executive director of FACE. “Donating an item to Bags & Baubles is the perfect way to do a little spring cleaning while simultaneously giving animals in our community a second chance at life. “Donated items are fully tax-deductible and will be auctioned to provide grants to local families who are unable to

treatment for their critically injured or sick pets. FACE is happy to arrange pick-ups of any donations.” Haggerty said that to date, hundreds of handbags have been donated. Top designers already collected are Kate Spade, Fendi, Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Rebecca Minkoff, Stella McCartney, Salvatore Ferragamo, Prada, Coach and so much more. “An array of marvelous jewelry pieces, collection of accessories and designer sunglasses have also been donated from brands like Tom Ford, Ray Ban, and Dolce & Gabbana,” she said. “We are requesting the public’s support to pull this off, and individuals interested in donating to this event are urged to contact FACE. We are also seeking volunteers to lend a helping paw.” Haggerty went on to say how this special 6th annual afternoon soiree is being held at a special venue: a private estate in Rancho Santa Fe. According to Haggerty, FACE was founded in 2006 by a group of veterinarians and concerned community members. Headquartered in San Diego, FACE Foundation is considered a pioneer and the first of its kind in the nation. Over the years, Haggerty said it has partnered with 117 veterinary hospitals saving more than

TURN TO FOUNDATION ON 14

RANCHO SANTA FE — A light-hearted competition is ready to sizzle at the Rancho Santa Fe Library. The first annual “Great Chili Cook-Off” Jan. 28 is being presented by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild and it’s everyone’s hope that this will become an annual event. What inspired this event was the Guild’s monthly Kitchen Hack series, which has grown more popular with each passing month. The Kitchen Hack has offered a platform for chefs to walk participants through the preparations of savory meals and desserts. RSF library and guild staff has also taken on this role by sharing their favorite recipes. Being that January is National Soup Month, the Guild thought a Kitchen Hack cooking twist by way of an informal chili cookoff would be fun. Susan Appleby, Guild membership and development manager, mentioned so far a few submissions have already been received by staff and they are welcoming community submissions, as well. Participants are invited to prepare a small crock-pot of their chili and bring it the day of the event, which will take place in the community room at the library. However, if more guests participate, the event will be

the accommodation, she said. “We ask that everyone make a copy of their recipe and we’ll make extra copies for them to share,” Appleby said. “And then we have several board members, and possibly a few community leaders, who’ll be judging.” Appleby said the community is invited to either make a submission or taste the chili for this special debut. According to Appleby, they have room for 10 cooking participants. Since there are a limited number of spaces, staff encourages those interested to call the Guild office or stop by the library for information. Appleby admitted she is personally taking part in the chili cook-off by preparing chicken chili. Submissions can be a variation of all type of recipes including traditional, poultry and even vegetarian. “The chili can be prepared any way you want it to be,” she said. Appleby pointed out that there is no cost to participate or drop by for the tasting. “If this takes off, it would be fun to do this annually,” Appleby said. For more information about the First Annual RSF Library Great Chili Cook-Off Jan. 28 at 12:30 pm, call the Guild office at (858) 756-4780.

RSF School Board ponders solar power By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The topic of solar is still in the discussion stages for the Rancho Santa Fe School District. Superintendent Lindy Delaney has been providing updates over the months to the board and did so once again during a Jan. 7 board meeting. Delaney described the solar research project as now being at a fork in the road in terms of where they are because of their different options. And if the board decided to move forward, Delaney recommended having it constructed over the summer months. “The first thing I would like the board to consider is leasing, not purchasing,” she said. Delaney noted that some of the cons for a direct purchase were the upfront large out-of-pocket expense and responsibilities for repairs and maintenance. On the other hand, the pros for a lease, also known as a power purchase agreement, would provide less cost upfront, keep monies in the bank, and help mitigate maintenance risks for the entire lease term of more than 20 years.

Delaney is in favor of a lease and told the board that she thought it was the way to go. The District could sidestep a large investment in purchasing solar and instead house a system which is owned by the provider through a lease. “We’ve also identified four phases,” she said, referring to solar panel sites. Also at the meeting was Debra Vaughn-Cleff, representing Webb Cleff Architecture and Engineering. The four phases Delaney and Vaughn-Cleff underscored were phase one of a structure mounted array located at the lunch and play areas; phase two array on building 400; phase three of a structure mounted arrays on Dacus lot where there is staff parking; and, phase four structure mounted on a potential new gym roof during its construction. During Delaney’s presentation, the Dacus lot site would require an Environmental Impact Report with a price tag of $100,000 to $150,000. The timeframe procedure may last up to a year.

adults. The two casts will rehearse separately and each will perform twice over the performance weekend of March 4 through March 6. Note that this means families with adults and children, if cast, would have separate rehearsal schedules and perform in different shows.

Charles M. Schulz in his comic strip “Peanuts.” In this play, we see Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, Snoopy and others as they experience a day in the life of Charlie Brown. Originally written and produced Off-Broadway and then on Broadway in the mid-1960s, the stories of friendship, growing up, and the love of a dog remain timeless.

Where the 101 Artists Colony eats around town

I

t was just after I arrived in Encinitas, around 1997, that the Artists Colony was born and I thought from the beginning that they were a perfect representation of the artistic side of this area. The people involved were talented, cool and funky and their events were always memorable — and still are. I have a one-of-a-kind baritone trumpet fountain in my backyard and several paintings on my walls that represent the area that were purchased at their events. While the development and gentrification of Encinitas is somewhat inevitable,

Combined, these two entrepreneurs are setting the bar high with their ideas for a new and greater Witchcreek. As Coomber describes it, “Mayur and I have a growing friendship. One day last summer he called me with this opportunity and wanted me to be a partner and build on the current legacy of Witchcreek. We both agreed that it was a solid business as the oldest urban winery in Southern California, (20 years at the Carlsbad location) with a young and passionate winemaker in Ryan Scott, who had come in from the MiraCosta College wine program as an intern in 2011 and taken charge in 2013. “He has been producing 24 different wines a year, with about 19 varietals sourced from throughout California and the Guadalupe Valley in Mexico. Mayur is adding Master Sommelier Gino Campbell from PAON to advise, along with Steve Barr for operational help.� I asked him what improvements he sees on the horizon. “We need better lighting along with bigger bar space. We have a 7-foot chandelier on its way, along with much more table space inside and out for wine education, tasting and small bites, along with space for us to produce and build on our current 750 member wine club.

Winter author talk welcomes Bohjalian By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Every seat was taken at the Winter Author Talk at the Rancho Santa Fe Library on Jan. 11. Hosted by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, guild members were both intellectually and emotionally moved by Chris Bohjalian, the author of “The Guest Room.” Before Bohjalian stepped up to the podium, a light lunch was served for Guild members. Bohjalian then gave his presentation followed by a question and Chris Bohjalian, author of “The Guest Room,” speaks to members of the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild on Jan. 11.

After introducing himself, Bohjalian admitted how “dread” was something he wanted to convey in his newest book. This emotion has its own rhythm of trepidation. “’The Guest Room’ I hope is rich with dread,” he said, noting how a key character, Alexandra, a young woman who is emotionally scarred, is punctuated through strength and courage. An author of numerous books, Bohjalian said “The Guest Room” had its origins in 2013. It was at a time when Bohjalian, his wife and daughter were vacationing in Armenia. Also accompanying them was his daughter’s friend. The friend was leaving a day before the rest of the family. “She was on a 6 a.m. flight to Moscow,” he said. Bohjalian added, “Because I’m a dad, I told her to meet me downstairs in the lobby at 3:30 in the morning so I could bring her to the airport, get her checked in, and get her to security.”

JAN. 22, 2016

And being a father, Bohjalian was in the hotel lobby 20 minutes early because he didn’t want this young woman to be alone. When he arrived, he noticed another young woman around his daughter’s age who was with an older man and quickly determined she was an escort. “We’ve all seen escorts in nice hotels in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York, but this was particularly heartbreaking for me, first of all because I’m an Armenian and this was in Armenia, and secondly because I’m a dad of a daughter. And I began to wonder is there a story in a girl like this? And what is the kernel of truth that is worth expanding into a book?” Bohjalian said. According to the International Labor Organization, human trafficking was at $44 billion back in 2005. In 2014, those numbers swelled to $150 billion. Bohjalian wanted to TURN TO AUTHOR ON 14

oin the Art for Barks parade of artists, authors and veterinarians who lend their talents to improve the quality of life for family pets. Recently, Art for Barks has partnered with San Diego Humane Society in a new program, “Art to the Rescue,” to assist in the adoption of more animals. Previously, Art for Barks created the nation’s first collection of Service Dog Fine Art inspiring people to understand the profound contributions they make in improving the life of humans. The Art for Barks website includes dogs, cats, horses and wildlife in its celebration of animal art. Today, we will tell you a story why dog art has been popular for so many centuries. The earliest dog art images appeared about 6,000 years ago. Humans identified with dogs because they display a similar range of emotions. Yet, it is the “unconditional love and loyalty” dog’s display that make them man’s best friend and a favorite subject of art. In early art the dog took on spiritual qualities, such as a deity, a guardian of the deceased soul by the Egyptians and an ancestor of man in Native American people and in Central Asia. Genghis Khan traced his heritage back to the union of a grey wolf and a white doe and named his four greatest generals the “Dogs of War.” In Roman mythology, Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome were nursed by a she-wolf. The Greeks and Romans created the constellations after the great dog “Canis Major” and the lit- Lynn Moon is founder of Art for Barks. tle dog “Canis Minor.” Ear-

San

ly Greek and Roman Art shows dog images clearly related to modern breeds, such as the Greyhound and Mastiff. In the Middle Ages, sleek Greyhounds were symbols of prestige and the Mastiff became a war dog and guardian of livestock. Little dogs were guardians of the Buddhist faith and deemed symbols of good luck throughout Asia. In Christianity, the dog became a symbol of faith. In Europe between the fifth and 14th centuries, hunting dogs were extremely popular in art as a prized family possession. During the Renaissance, working dogs became the favorite art subject: pulling carts, herding animals, guarding property and competing in sporting events. Edwin Landseer’s (1802-1873) painting of a dog with a flowing red cape rescuing a traveler from the water was an early, popular depiction of a service dog. In the 18th century the individual dog portrait became a popular genre for the wealthy. Today, talented Art for Barks artists will paint a portrait of your family dog for an affordable price. By the 20th century, a distinct change occurred in the depiction of the dog in art. New styles evolved as artists strove for individuality and a depiction of new concepts. Lincoln Seligman’s “Art Lover” (2010) humorously displays a black Lab appreciating Pop art symbols created by Andy Warhol (1928-1987). From ancient times to the modern era, the visual representation of man’s most loyal friend remains popular. Find stimulating art at ArtforBarks.org and volunteer at artforbarks@gmail. com

with steam rooms for both female and male members. Also in this building, plans of a fitness shop and administration offices have also been discussed. Pathways from the main building lead guests to a café, two movement studios, and fitness studio. During the presentation, Yahr also showed members the four-lane resort style pool, the situation of cabanas, and an area to order meals and drinks from the café when outdoors. A water area for children deemed as a splash pad and a five-stall family bathroom was showed in the design. Both are in close proximity for convenience. The architectural rendering provided great in-

sight, however, the site plan, pool layout and buildings may undergo future modifications. Following the presentation, a wave of applause was given to Yahr. He was quick to point out the dedication that his fellow subcommittee members have put into this project and that it was a true team effort. Yahr told the board and Covenant members that the timeline for a finalized design was scheduled in a couple months. Members can also expect to receive a 3D model rendering and in-depth overview packet by spring in preparation for an upcoming vote. At minimum, Yahr also estimates one more town hall meeting.

erating year. Overton described his actions as an association manager as hiring more efficiently and noted how he didn’t fill vacant positions immediately. “The most important number to me in this chart is that if everything stayed the same exactly as it is today, we would end the year $40,000 under budget for payroll. Now, part of that is because we haven’t filled the planner position yet,” Overton said. He went on to say how he was in the process of interviewing potential planners and weighing options.

Overton said regardless of what he does with that position he will bring the Association under budget June 30. While faces have changed in the Association’s office, Overton said it has been done with a very keen eye on the budget. He also welcomed more discussion and looked forward to reporting back to the audience and board regarding the staffing analysis. “I appreciate the input and the scrutiny during the last month or so making sure that we’re paying attention to budget,” he said.

During the PowerPoint presentation, Yahr discussed a redesign of the current parking lot in order to provide more slots. “We are analyzing two different parking schemes right now,” he said, noting how two tennis courts may be relocated.

Likely site options may consist of two potential areas owned by the Association, one privately owned and the other in a right-ofway locale. Target areas will be potentially located on the north side, southeast side, and on the west side of town.

This asset to our community features menu items named after our local Caminos, and offers them accompanied by predominantly California-sourced beers and wines. “While the food at Pandora has never disappointed, I have to add that the experience of dining here just might be outshone by the exceptional service! “The mindful acquisition of genuinely kind and considerate staff at Pandora’s has nurtured a welcoming environment that makes one instantly comfortable and at home. “My favorite dishes here include the Penthos salad, ripe with berries and fresh greens, the Jupiter pizza (Lemon zest is a game-changer, if you didn’t already know this!), and — for when I’m feeling especially gluttonous

He agreed that Verizon and ATC were two concrete proposals, describing them as boilerplates, which needed some minor refining to end the negotiation process in preparation for the February board meeting. “We’re confident we’ll be able to get through that process relatively smoothly. We only have a few minor changes,” May said. He continued, “We need cell towers and cell reception locations within this community to provide not only safety for emergency response, but we also want to bring out as many multiple carriers as possible so that you’re not controlled by whether you only have one cell service.” Following the choosing of a vendor, the next step will be a nine-month long

major use permit process with the county in order to be able to start the construction progress, he said. May also noted that whichever vendor is selected, they will take on a leadership role. May shared that Covenant members should expect many public and town hall meetings in order to introduce this project to the community. May then reiterated this particular board meeting did not have any action items. They topic of conversation was purely informative. Following May, Wilkinson added how the faux tree antennas are done incredibly well and admitted that he even had a hard time determining if they were real or not.

The owners are there on-site and along their children on occasion. On top of that I am warmly recognized upon each visit which just adds to the charm.” OK, I am so there.

fter a long day of travel to New York City, I was craving a hot shower. I turned on the water and waited … and waited … and waited. No hot water.

I started to panic. We were going to be in this hotel for three days — we worked hard to find a good location for “only” $200 a night — and I was in a bit of a panic. I called the front desk and heard what you’ll never hear in a California hotel: “Just let the water run for at least 10 or 15 minutes and it will eventually get hot. You’re on the 11th floor, you know.” Huh? I was horrified to think about all that water going down the drain, but I finally

realized that things in these Manhattan hotels are just not the same as they are in California. Many NYC hotels are old, have ancient infrastructure, and sit in a city that must support 8.4 million residents and 54 million tourists a year. That’s a lot of toilets flushing, sinks draining and hot water surging through pipes and a sewer system which, miraculously, work OK most of the time. So I did what I had to do Many people are surprised to come upon the Lily Pond in Battery Park — turned on the faucet full- at the southern tip of Manhattan, a short walk from the One World Trade blast and waited. The hot Center. The pond, which sits next to the Hudson River, was restored in 2005 and provides a serene escape within the metropolis of 10 million.

est building in the Western Hemisphere. Security is understandably tight, and the 100thfloor One World Observatory (opened in May 2015) is accessible by a separate entrance and a pricey ticket — $32. (Don’t waste your money if it’s not a clear day.) Perhaps the most incredible thing about the visit to the center, other than getting hot water on the 100th floor, is the entry tunnel to the elevator and the ride to the top. Huge digital screens that line the walls of the tunnel tell of the people and the process that built the tower, and in the elevator, the digital show tells of the city’s history. A time-lapse process speeds elevator passengers through the centuries as passengers are whooshed to the top in less than a minute. The ride was so fast and smooth, and images of the New York City skyline so engaging that I had no sense that we were being transported 1,776 feet above the ground. My sensitive ears didn’t

water eventually reached our room and I more than enjoyed that shower. The next day, I noted that there was no problem getting hot water to the 100th floor of the new One World Trade Center. Located just north of the former site of the Twin Towers, the glass and steel structure opened October 2014 after more than a decade of solving political, design, emotional and financial challenges. Some still believe that this new tower shouldn’t have been built to replace the two World Trade Center towers that were attacked by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001. Economic realists, however, understand the value of Manhattan real estate, and that sadly, it’s often all about the money. There is no arguing, however, that the One World Trade Center is an architectural and technological wonder, and is arguably more beautiful than the Twin Towers. And at 1776 feet tall, the new Freedom Tower, as some call it, is the high-

1/8/16 3:58 PM

The One World Trade Center stands 1776 feet tall on a 16-acre site just north of where the Twin Towers once stood. Construction began in 2006 and was completed in 2013. The building’s design went through several evolutions because of public disapproval. The tower is built on a 185-foot-tall windowless concrete base, designed to protect it from ground-level attacks, and features 73 elevators.

even pop. The ads for the observatory say that you can “see forever” and the view does come close. On a clear day, Manhattan and its bridges, the Hudson and East rivers, Central Park, the other boroughs, Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and New Jersey fill the floor-to-ceiling windows. The metropolitan area looks like an architectural model, orderly and pristine. I couldn’t help remembering that passengers on the two flights that crashed into the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, had this same view. What wasn’t part of the landscape on that infamous day were the National September 11 Museum & Memorial just south of the trade center, built in remembrance of this terrible event and those who died that day.
