Memberships, revenue up at RSF Tennis Club By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club has healthy revenues and its membership continues to climb, according to a quarterly report presentation at the monthly Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting. According the Tennis Club’s Board President, Dave Van Den Berg, the club was profitable and they expected it to remain so. “In the past year and a half, we had over 80 new memberships, and I use the word ‘memberships’ specifically because memberships relates to the number of players that the club attracts,” Van Den Berg said. “And most of those memberships we get are annual memberships and most of them average about three players a family.” Van Den Berg also championed a RSF Tennis Director Derek Miller, left, with Tennis Club’s Board President Dave Van Den Berg.

“Don’t be a Hairy Beaver”

REGION — The Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) is reaching out to its customers informing them of their new automated metering program. At a recent Rancho Santa Fe Association meeting, Jessica Parks, public information officer for the water district, gave the RSF Association board and its Covenant members a short presentation. Also referred to as an Automated Meter Infrastructure (AMI), Parks explained that the district’s AMI program began in July 2016. She went on to share that the goal within the next five years was to replace 7,300 potable and recycled meters with automated meters. “The new meters will send meter reads via radio signal every hour to the district,” Parks said. According to Parks, these replacements will take place in six phases. To date, they are in phase two. The AMI project’s cost is $5.5 million. “All of the Santa Fe

Irrigation District service area will be completed by the summer of 2021. It will take five years for the district to replace all meters within its service area of Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and the city of Solana Beach,” she said. Parks also noted that starting Nov. 28, the SFID would begin to change current water meters to the automated meters in the northeast portion of Rancho Santa Fe. Customers will be notified ahead of time. “First, a letter will be mailed to the property at least two weeks prior to the installation of the new meter. Then a notice will be placed at the entrance to the property (front door, side door, garage door, gate) no less than two days prior to work being performed in the neighborhood,” Parks said. “Given that the district will be replacing multiple meters within a neighborhood, most notices will give information of the week

RSF Association approves a golf membership expiration extension By Christina Macone-Geene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Following a Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club and restaurant quarterly report, the topic of approving the extension of a golf member’s expiration date was discussed. According to Al Castro, general manager of the RSF Golf Club, he had a request from a golf club member that sold their property in the Covenant. Following Castro’s request on behalf of the member, the Association board approved it. According to Castro, the Golf

Club plan of operation had a protocol in place for the transfer of membership status. “A homeowner and Golf Club member who sells their property has 180 days upon closing of their sale to find another property to attach their membership to,” he said. “This is the first time we have had this request and it is not the first time that I’ve heard the concern for how difficult it is to find another property once they sell something here.” Castro indicated that this particular golf club member had been a

resident for three years and was interested in finding another property in the Ranch. This member’s 180-day window of opportunity closed at the end of December. “They are concerned that they may not have found another property in order for them to maintain their membership,” he said. Castro explained there was a concern that this member would be forced to resign their membership at the Golf Club. He went on to say how TURN TO EXTENSION ON 16

Osuna Ranch garners more attention By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At a November board meeting, the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s board of directors received updates on the improvements and happenings at the Osuna Ranch. The property, which is owned by the Association, houses a 180-yearold Adobe home and working horse ranch. Arnold Keene, who serves as

the Association’s fields operations manager, shared how he began overseeing the efforts at the ranch about six months ago. “There is good energy out there these days,” he said, referring to Osuna. Keene pointed out to the Board and Covenant members who were present that his responsibilities at Osuna were to offer a new set of eyes

— he looked at the existing practices, observing whether any changes needed to be made. Currently, one significant item in the works is going through a protocol to determine if the Osuna can acquire a national historical designation. “We just sent them some final

DEL MAR — Gun shows will continue at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. After about an hourlong public comment period at the Nov. 15 22nd District Agricultural Association board meeting, none of the eight directors present asked to move forward with a future action item to stop the events. Crossroads of the West has been hosting gun shows at the state-owned facility, which is governed by the 22nd DAA, without incident for 26 years. A group of local residents called Advocates for Gun Safety has been peacefully protesting outside the venue during the last few shows. Prompted partially by that and the addition of four new board members since the topic was last addressed — with the same result — in 2013, Director David Watson asked for a discussion to provide information and education. The 22nd DAA board was not scheduled to take any action at the recent meeting. About one-third of the approximately 30 people who signed up to speak oppose the gun shows, which are currently held five times a year and provide more than $600,000 of revenue to the fairgrounds. They offered statistics about gunshot deaths and the story of a woman who as an adult suffered panic attacks as a result of her father shooting himself and her mother with a firearm he purchased at a gun show. “Guns are weapons of mass destruction,” one speaker said. “If the fairgrounds keeps feeding guns into our community more people will use them.” Advocates for Gun Safety members insist they aren’t attacking the Second Amendment. “We’re not against people owning guns,” Wayne Dernetz said. “We are for laws that protect us from gun accidents and guns getting into the wrong hands.” “Ending gun shows at the Del Mar Fairgrounds is one way to reduce the gun culture,” he added. The group also believes the events are not appropri-

ate at the fairgrounds. “It seems as though you’re creating an atmosphere here that the gun shows are like the fair,” Solana Beach resident Kathy Murph said. “Kids don’t get it. They think it’s cool. … Anything that we can do to keep from glamorizing that guns are cool would be great.” Gun show supporters included a hunter education instructor, a single mother who purchased and learned to use a firearm after a seeing a prowler multiple times in her yard and Louise Abbott, a longtime Solana Beach resident. “Having a gun show does not glorify guns,” Abbott stated in a letter to the fair board. “To believe that could be true, one would have to accept that the use of the Fairgrounds for the county fair’s abundant supply of fried foods must glorify gluttony and possibly the various diseases associated with such a diet.” Two state Assembly members also weighed in. “While the legislature continues to chip away at the 2nd Amendment rights in this state, I would be grateful to see a successful and safe event continue to be held at the Fairgrounds for the law-abiding gun owners of Sand Diego County,” Brian Jones wrote in a letter to the 22nd DAA. “The Del Mar Fairgrounds is owned by the people of California,” a representative from Marie Waldron’s office said while reading a letter from the 75th District legislator. “Since there is no legitimate reason to deny use of this venue by the Crossroads of the West gun show, I respectfully ask you to allow the shows to continue.” According to a staff report from Pat Kerins, security manager for the 22nd DAA, Crossroads of the West is in complete compliance with all state gun show laws, which are among the strictest in the nation. People buying a weapon cannot leave the property with it. They are subject to a background check and must wait the required 10 days before taking possession at a gun shop from the TURN TO GUN SHOWS ON 16

What is gold saying about Trump? Editor’s note: This article first appeared at Forbes.com. By Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson

Amidst the larger drama of the election last Tuesday, the financial markets staged their own little drama. When the Dow futures plummeted by hundreds of points as it began to look as though Donald Trump would achieve a surprise victory, some people hastily jumped to the conclusion that financial markets feared a Trump presidency. Not so. While markets were momentarily spooked by an outcome that they had not anticipated, it didn’t take long for market participants to recalibrate their expectations and surmise, at least temporarily, that economic prospects under a President Trump were favorable. Stocks reversed their plunge in a matter of hours and have since charged to several record highs. Conversely, the price of gold fell from a momentary spike above $1300 an ounce to as low as $1211 per ounce. Economists have different theories about the significance of the price of gold; mine is that gold is primarily a barometer of confidence in the dollar. That confidence is affected by a number of factors, among which are: the outlook for the future purchasing power of the monetary unit; whether the economic policies appear more

Record spending is no guarantee of proposition victories California Focus By Thomas D. Elias

ith more than 8,400 donors giving record amounts of money totaling more than half a billion dollars to campaigns for and against the 17 propositions on this month’s state ballot, one thing has become very clear: As the Beatles came close to saying in their classic song, “Can’t Buy Me Love,” money alone can’t buy you votes for or against an initiative. Sure, it’s always nice to have money, but you need a good idea and the advertisements you buy must be at least partially truthful, or you just won’t win. Example A this month was what happened to Big Tobacco on Proposition 56, which won by close to a 6040 percent margin despite its advocates being outspent more than 5-1. Part of the problem was that the moment voters looked at both the anti-56 ads and the actual proposition, they could see there was little evidence for oft-repeated tobacco company claims that adding $2 to the cost of a pack of cigarettes would somehow cheat schools out of $600 million. They don’t get that money now and won’t get it under Prop. 56, so it was hard to see how they could be cheated out of anything. Then there were voters simply offended by the fact tobacco companies like Philip Morris USA and R.J. Reynolds were — oddly enough — the big bankrollers of the campaign to fight off a big tax on their sometimes deadly products. The No side on this one spent more than $90 million. “I saw the tobacco companies were against 56 and Big Pharma against Proposition 61 and vot-

ed yes for both,” said one Torrance voter aged in his mid-70s. His views were apparently not unique. Money did win for big pharmaceutical companies, whose no-on-61 campaign wasn’t as totally groundless as the tobacco industry effort against Prop. 56. Big Pharma spent even more than Big Tobacco —

any tough-on-criminals measure. Californians also went against what they perceived as censorship, voting down the Prop. 60 requirement that performers in hard sex movies use condoms on camera. Not much was spent for or against this measure, so it ended up as a referendum on what voters want

Money’s effects turned out to be largely unpredictable, as the bigger spenders lost about as many campaigns as they won. more than $120 million by the time all reports are in. That money came from companies like Pfizer, Amgen and two-dozen others, often in chunks of well over $1 million and it was enough for a narrow victory. In fact, self-serving donors like these abounded in this election season, as they often do, and their results were mixed at best. There were, for example, big plastic bag makers headquartered in Texas, New Jersey and South Carolina, which put up more than $20 million trying to preserve what was left of their California market by defeating Proposition 67. As Election Night wore on, the bag makers were in a seesaw contest despite vastly outspending plastic ban opponents. A contrarian example of relatively big money winning came with Proposition 57, Gov. Jerry Brown’s plan to ease parole of convicts guilty of non-violent felonies, as defined in the criminal code. He spent almost $6 million from his personal political war chest on that one, and it won handily as Californians continued to recoil from their onetime proclivity to vote for almost

in their off-color movies. There was also Proposition 64, which will bring major change to California by legalizing recreational marijuana use, whether the federal government likes it or not. Federal agents might still conduct raids on pot-growing plots, but most likely they now won’t get much help from local law enforcement. Then there was the death penalty, apparently still a popular cause in this state. Voters handily turned down Proposition 62, which would have ended the ultimate punishment and then approved Proposition 66, which speeds up the process. The bottom line on all these results: Money’s effects turned out to be largely unpredictable, as the bigger spenders lost about as many campaigns as they won. That’s something political consultants, who often get a cut of whatever their clients spend, won’t want anyone to remember two years from now. Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

conducive to strong economic growth or stagnation; and geopolitical factors. In regard to geopolitics, the dollar price of gold tends to rise (that is, confidence in the dollar falls) when the United States is perceived as becoming weaker. Demand for the currency of a fading power falls. Despite much of the anti-American rhetoric that the media amplify, the world in general wants a strong America. Our country and our currency lose a lot of respect when we have presidents like Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama who seem passive, befuddled, appeasing, and just plain weak on the international stage. Carter kissed Leonid Brezhnev and essentially gift-wrapped Iran for the ayatollahs. Obama wouldn’t stand up to Vladimir Putin, supported the ascendancy of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (since reversed by the Egyptian army) and, depending on your point of view, either passively acquiesced to or actively assisted in increasing Iran’s influence in the Middle East. One possible interpretation, then, for the fall in gold’s dollar price in the last week is the perception that under President Donald Trump, the United States will be more likely to stand up strongly for its interests and not be so feckless in dealing with lesser powers. Apart from geopolitical

perspectives, another possible reason for the post-election selloff in gold has been the perception that opportunities for dollars to make more dollars are improving. The initial reaction in the gold market to the Trump victory indicates an increase of optimism about the economic prospects of the United States with a President Trump compared to what would have been likely with Hillary Clinton in the White House. It would be premature to place too much emphasis on short-term price movements. We certainly can’t make any long-term predictions either about the direction of the price of gold or the success of Donald Trump’s presidency. All we can say at this time is that markets seemed to indicate a cautious optimism that America will prosper — be made great again — under President Trump. That optimism, and the corresponding confidence in the dollar, is bound to wax and wane over the coming months. The price of gold will reflect those changes of mood. For the sake of our country, I hope the price of gold is lower four years from now that it is today. Dr. Mark W.

Letters to the Editor Thank you to voters Well elections are over and the people in Del Mar have spoken. I want to congratulate Ellen (Haviland), Dave (Zito) and Sherryl (Parks) and wish them well in their role as City Council members. This was Del Mar’s first contested election in 10 years. While there can be negative aspects of contested elections, I think some positive things came out of this election. The election brought to light a number of issues facing Del Mar — creating a vibrant community, adequate law enforcement, short-term

rentals, beach and bluff access, etc. The issues were thoroughly and publicly discussed. Residents became aware of these issues and the candidates positions — a very good thing. Through Meet & Greets and candidate forums, residents and candidates had the opportunity to discuss issues and outline their positions. We saw candidates who had certain positions at the beginning of the campaign change their position in response to hearing what residents actually wanted — another very good thing. As I said in my last

email, this was an important election for all of us. I want to thank everyone, whether you supported me or not, for being involved and caring about our community. Now we need to support our new City Council members and work together to solve the issues facing our community. Please get involved — attend City Council and committee meetings. I look forward to seeing you there, and out and about in Del Mar! Thank you and Goodbye for now. T. Pat Stubbs, Del Mar

Resident rolls out the welcome bench By Bianca Kaplanek

SOLANA BEACH — When Pat Feldman decided to convert to drought-tolerant landscaping, little did she know she would be creating opportunities to meet her neighbors and in turn allow them to get to know each other as well. “My house is set back and the front door doesn’t face the street,” the 23-year Solana Beach resident said. “But my pool does. When I was remodeling that area I was arranging some Adirondack chairs and my neighbors saw me out there and waved. “That was such a great feeling,” she added. “It reminded me of when I was growing up. We had a front

porch where people would sit and chat. I thought, ‘This is what I want, to create a front porch.’ And that’s what I did.” Since she couldn’t extend the road to her home, she brought a front porch to the sidewalk. The 4-foot square area includes a bench with the word “Welcome” worked into the wrought iron. Feldman said she purposefully added the “patio” around the bench to make the area inviting. “I didn’t want people to think they couldn’t walk on the landscaping,” she said. “It invites you to step up and sit down. “It’s such a beautiful feeling to go out there ev-

ery day,” Feldman added. “I just met some people on my street who have lived here for 12 years.” She also learned about a neighbor’s mother who had passed away and met a woman who many years ago volunteered for and met former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. “It’s amazing the things you don’t know about the people who live around you,” Feldman said. “People who live a few blocks away have been stopping by. Kids riding their bikes sit there. That’s what I want.” Feldman said she believes the timing is perfect, given the recent divisive election. “But we don’t talk pol-

itics,” she said. “It’s a place where you can have moments to relax. Anyone can come sit down, have coffee and enjoy it.” The day after the election she walked outside to find County Supervisor Dave Roberts, who lives near her home on San Lucas Drive, sitting there chatting with another neighbor. “I had just read that he was re-elected and there he was,” she said. “I didn’t know what to say. I was so grateful I took a picture. I was a little choked up.” Feldman said she went inside and called her daughter. “I told her it’s working,” she said. “This is my way to further our sense of community. This is my dream.”

Farrar updates Board on code enforcement efforts By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Board of Directors learned through Tom Farrar, the Association’s interim building commissioner, that while there continued to be an uptick in project applications, there was also an increase of activity in their code enforcement. Farrar commended their new senior planner Roger Scherer on his code enforcement efforts. Currently, the Association had 40 active cases. Farrar said if he was asked how many code enforcement cases they had two months ago, he would have answered about three. Farrar called the upswing in active cases good news. “I think we’re out there actively getting things done correctly,” Farrar said. “Roger has really done a fantastic job since he’s been here and I have to say that for the record. He’s closed 18 of his cases already.” When asked the general nature of these cases by the Board, Farrar explained how they varied. He first mentioned a few grading issues, be it new or not being done in conformance with the plans. Farrar noted the importance of keeping these cases a priority since it was relatable to erosion control, storm water and more. The other nature of cases Farrar shared had to do with signage varying from real estate and security to construction. While there was a system in place for construction signs, there was a bit more work to be done in reference to realty signs. Farrar mentioned how there were plans to schedule a meeting to discuss some modifications on

this.

“Security signs are allowed in the protected Covenant, but there is a certain number you can have and places where you can have them,” Farrar said. The efforts in this area were to review the placement of security signs and making certain they were all consistent. Farrar shared that trashcans being left out for long periods of time were another impetus for Covenant members to reach out

to the Association office. When Farrar’s presentation covered project applications, he pointed out while some were new others were resubmittals. “It’s been very busy and staff is very busy reviewing these to ensure that they meet the Protective Covenant and they meet all of the regulatory building requirements,” he said. Farrar also shared the significance in resubmittals. “They’re probably just as important, if not more important, than the new project submittals because the resubmittals are interactions we have with applicants in modifying their plans to meet our guidelines or to meet state guidelines,” he said.

Revised Watermark to be revealed Dec. 3 By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — The developers of Watermark Del Mar will hold a workshop to present a scaled-down version of the multifamily complex proposed for the southeast comer of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive. The event to garner additional public input will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Dec. 3 in the rear courtyard on the third level of the Del Mar Plaza. The recent alternative was created in response to community comments received during outreach efforts earlier this year. Preliminary plans revealed in 2013 featured 54 one- to four-bedroom apartments and townhomes on the approximately 2.3-acre lot. The following year City Council approved a specific plan for the proposed development, which eventually was downsized to 48 units in one- and two-story buildings. The council action prompted a group of residents to circulate a petition that would require a vote on projects larger than 25,000 square feet

that allowed a density bonus, specific plan or zoning change, all of which apply to Watermark. While the group gathered signatures for what was to become Measure R, which failed to pass in the Nov. 8 election, the development team was working to modify Watermark in response to continual public input.

Arnold Wiesel, who led the Measure R effort, said he has seen the newly revised plans. “They will modify and modify it until they can get something that’s acceptable, and I think that’s the process they’re in,” Wiesel said. “It TURN TO WATERMARK ON 16

These rules are followed when running an election. “So we have up for your review a set of election rules,” Wasserman said. “We want you to review these election rules.” Members can find a copy posted at the post office, the RSF Association office and is also available on the Association’s member side of its website. Covenant members have until Nov. 30 to submit their input. It was Wasserman’s hope that Covenant members read the election rules and provide

comments. “We need those,” he said. Wasserman went on to explain that once the election rules are approved, the law provides a 15-day window of opportunity for its members. If members don’t agree with the rules after they have been adopted, he said, they can petition the Board to rescind or change a rule(s). “Rules that are to be adopted have to follow this process — 30 days approval and then a 15-day window for members to challenge the rule,” Wasserman said. According to Wasserman, he noted how a member’s input regarding the election rules was best to be done in writing. Wasserman also shared how the rules were sent to the Association’s election inspector for their professional feedback. “We definitely want to hear your comments,” Wasserman said.

Little library built for former gang members earns scout Eagle honors By Ken Harrison

Special to The Coast News REGION — Sixteen-year-old Carlsbad resident, Dylan Langer, readily admits he was in culture shock when he and his dad stepped off the Amtrak at L.A.’s Union Station, and took a

short walk through a gritty neighborhood. Langer was there to pitch an idea to tattooed former gang members, some just out of prison, at the nearby Homeboy Industries. Langer, a junior at Carmel Valley’s Cathedral Catholic High School,

was looking for an organization to serve for his Boy Scout Eagle project. Normally Eagle Scout candidates may rehabilitate a trail, build park benches, or create a community garden. But he chose inner city Homeboy Industries instead.

“I thought maybe I could help them love to read books like I do,” said Langer. Homeboy Industries produces numerous food products, sold commercially throughout SouthTURN TO LIBRARY ON 16

Bricks support Don Diego scholarships DEL MAR — Pondering what to buy that special someone this holiday? The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation offers a gift as special and unique as the recipient: a customized brick, permanently installed at the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ Legacy Fountain. Prices begin at $150 and a replica brick can also be purchased to embellish home or office. Information and a secure online purchase can be made at dondiegoscholarship.org. Since its inception in 1986, the Foundation has awarded approximately $797,000 in scholarships to 177 students and in agriculture education grants. A Legacy Brick, personalized with text and/or images, not only commemorates a person or occasion; it also includes the recipient in the iconic history of the Fairgrounds, and San Diego. The San Diego County Fair harks back to the 1880s; the Fairgrounds to the 1930s; the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation to 1986.

Hundreds of Legacy Bricks decorate the pathway to the Fountain. Together, they tell a story of cherished family times, great days at the Fair and (“Thank you, Zenyatta!”) memorable racetrack wins. We invite you to add your chapter to the ongoing story. According to Don Diego Executive Director Chana Mannen, the brick purchase is a tax-deductible donation. “What better way to help Don Diego celebrate our 30th anniversary than by enabling us to continue building a better San Diego, one scholarship at a time,” Mannen said. The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation was named for Don Diego, AKA Tom Hernandez, who served as the Fair’s welcoming goodwill ambassador from 19471984. Information on Don Diego’s history and the foundation’s current programs and donation opportunities is at dondiegoscholarship. org and facebook.com/Don DiegoScholarship.

RANCHO SANTA FE — United Way of San Diego County has honored Rancho Santa Fe resident, Kenneth H. Weixel, with the “Volunteer of the Year” Naish Award, for consistently outstanding community leadership and volunteerism. The award recognizes an individual who has made a significant and sustained contribution to United Way as a volunteer and commemorates the commitment of Jack Naish, a former board member and creative leader. Weixel has been an advocate for United Way since joining the board in 2014. In his current role as United Way’s Campaign Cabinet chair, he helps build stronger relationships with companies across the region. In this, Weixel instituted a new “peer-to-peer” outreach technique, often reaching out to other managing partners and CEOs of large companies to engage them in giving to United Way directly. Weixel also chaired United Way’s CEO search committee this spring. As a member of the Tocqueville Society (created in recognition of UW’s major donors and philanthropic leaders), he sets an example for others to invest in United Way’s work. Weixel is the San Diego managing partner for Deloitte LLP and has been one of the leaders of Deloitte’s life sciences and health care industry practice. He started his career with Deloitte more than 35 years ago and focuses

exclusively on providers, health plans and life science companies. Weixel has had many national leadership roles, including serving as the U.S. managing partner for audit and advisory services for the life sciences and health care industry groups. He is a founding member of the board of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions based in Washington, D.C., and regularly makes presentations about the impact and implementation of health reform and the transformational change occurring in the health care industry. Weixel is a member of the Century Club, a board member of Biocom and served for eight years on the board of trustees of Capital University. He is also a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Business Leadership Development Program and the Wharton School of Executive Leadership Program.

should have been able to write this column a year ago, soon after my dear friend died. But very occasionally, we lose someone who simply remains with us. Intellectually, you know they have passed, but every time you think about them, there is a brief pause before your brain reminds you they are well and truly gone. It is always a bit of a surprise. For me, that person is Willy Ginaven, the woman who brought libraries to life in the Encinitas Union School District. She was the matriarch, and was more than just alive. She was that someone who rocketed through life, keeping more balls up in the air than you even possessed. There are lots of busy people, but very few who manage to multi-task with absolute grace. I love to say I am racing through life with my hair on fire. I flatter myself. Willy went at thrice my pace, and her hair was never even

singed. She had the kind of energy and drive everyone covets, but eschews as they hit that snooze button one more time. Looking back, I wonder just how much the woman actually did sleep. She buzzed through life, making good things happen, whether at work, at church, with her walking group or her grandchildren. Anyone who had the great fortune to work with her, learned how to love their job and do it better. I can’t think of a more valuable gift. No matter where you fell short, her only response was to make time to drop everything and help you. When you succeeded, she glowed for you. The library at Ocean Knoll Elementary School has been dedicated to her memory, and I know it is where her soul resides. There, where she began her career, I can hear her voice in my head, and easily see her sitting on the floor with a group of enthralled youngsters, or hustling up to me for a hug. As I listened to so many speak of her friendship and accomplishments, I could so clearly see her grin crookedly, and say, “Oh, stop now.” I could easTURN TO SMALL TALK ON 16

A rts &Entertainment ‘Origami Guy’ hopes wishes come true through tree arts CALENDAR By Tony Cagala

VISTA — One thousand wishes are the goal — and if that happens, then, according to legend, all those wishes will come true. It’s an ancient Japanese tradition called “Senbazuru,” which promises that should a person fold 1,000 paper cranes, their wish will be granted. And so enter Vista’s “Origami Guy,” the artist who wishes to remain anonymous, though continues to strive to make an impact on his (yes, it can be confirmed he is a he) community through “creative vandalism” and the folding of thousands of paper cranes. The folding of those cranes is underway as the Origami Guy readies to usher in the fourth year of the Merry Tree of Wishes. The tree goes up Nov. 25 at Lush Coffee & Tea Lounge in Vista (324 Main St.) and will remain there until it comes down Christmas Day. The idea for the Merry Tree of Wishes was borne out of the annual World Tree of Hope, which is set up in San Francisco each year. After meeting with the Tree of Hope’s organizer one year, the idea that the Origami Guy could do something similar locally

One of the many crane ornaments appears on the Merry Tree of Wishes at Lush Coffee & Tea Lounge in Vista. It’s an art project from the anonymous “Origami Guy” in Vista, which allows people to write a wish on an origami crane and hang it on the tree. Courtesy photo

Tree of Wishes has seen a steady increase in the amount of wishes that get put on the tree. “That first year, we

emerged in the form of his Merry Tree of Wishes. And ever since its inception four years ago in the coffee shop, the Merry

probably got about 75 to 100 (wishes). The next year it doubled. And last year we had 638,” the Origami Guy said. And so for this year, their goal is to get 1,000 wishes to hang on the tree. “What I tell everybody is, ‘we get a thousand cranes and a thousand wishes, everybody’s wish comes true.’” It’s free to participate in the wishes tree. He said simply visit Lush, pick out an origami crane, write a personal message on it the wish tag, and hang the crane on the tree. He explained that his interest in origami came about eight years ago when his daughter was dealing with some health issues. His wife began folding the paper cranes in the hopes their wish would come true, and he joined in the folding efforts. After the couple had finished folding the 1,000 cranes, he realized the meditative outlet it provided him. “I found it to be very relaxing,” he said. He’s folded so many that he can now fold the cranes blindfolded, if he had to, he explained. While many people know the artist’s true identity, for these projects TURN TO WISHES ON 16

Cardiff’s Roberts rides Coast News Classic boasts strong field rookie wave to become NL Manager of the Year By Aaron Burgin

sports talk jay paris

he votes were in, the numbers tabulated and a surprising choice came out on top. Make the Dodgers Great again? Something like that but Dave Roberts’ coronation as the National League Manger of the Year came with little backlash. Instead Roberts, a Cardiff resident, was the unanimous winner among his colleagues after leading the Dodgers to the NL Championship Series in his rookie season. “I’m humbled,’ Roberts said repeatedly. “I’m speechless.’’ Good things don’t happen to good people? That cliché is one that Roberts’ doesn’t wear. The optimistic and personable Roberts has few — any? — detractors. Instead he treats everyone with respect, demands accountability, and oh yeah, knows a thing or two about baseball. We can hope the same can be said about the Padres’ brain trust. Roberts, once the Padres’ bench coach, was brushed off last November by the locals when seeking San Diego’s vacant managerial post. The former major-leaguer not only didn’t get the job, he didn’t get a sniff. But the Padres’ snub offers a picture into Roberts’ life. This San Diego Hall of Champions member has consistently overcome obstacles to reach the pinnacle of his profession. As a three-sport standout at Rancho Buena Vista High, he wrecked his knee before his junior year, only to return stronger. At UCLA, he arrived to play baseball without a scholarship. Told to stick around with no promises, he became the Bruins’ starting center fielder and all-time stolen base leader. When the draft came, Roberts’ name wasn’t called until the 28th round. To put that in perspective, the Padres squandered a 24th-round pick on Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel. “I can’t believe he went four rounds ahead of me,’’ Roberts said, with a laugh. Players in those rounds seldom see the big leagues. Instead, the undersized Roberts maximized his skills — thanks goes to Dodgers legend

Maury Wills for his guidance — and he would ultimately swipe the most famous bag in baseball history. Roberts’ steal of second base in the 2004 postseason fueled an improbable comeback, which led to the Red Sox’s first World Series title since 1918. After his playing career ended, Roberts beat back cancer. So instead of getting his nose out of joint after a closed Padres door rammed into it, Roberts kept searching for the right fit. That it came in Los Angeles, where Roberts, an ex-Dodger, blossomed, so be it. He made the commute, made the Dodgers a team and made good on a promise that seemed unlikely in spring training. Roberts, 44, knew the Dodgers’ record payroll was well north of $200 million. But the savvy Roberts also was aware that money can’t buy you love. So Roberts bought in on being a hands-on manager. Literally. “I wanted to reach out and touch each of players every single day, that’s true,’’ Roberts said. “When you get through September, that gets to be a challenge.’’ Few politicians match Roberts in pressing the flesh. Especially considering the Dodgers had a clubhouse with a revolving door, as a record 28 players landed on the disabled list. That was among the reasons Roberts made more than 600 pitching changes in his maiden season. That didn’t matter to the man known affectionately as “Doc.” A Roberts handshake a day helped keep the doubters away. “I remember what it is like to be a player,’’ Roberts said. “And when a TURN TO JAY PARIS ON 16

REGION — A year ago, The Coast News partnered with Army and Navy Academy and then-assistant Coach Sam Eshelman to put on the The Coast News Tip-Off Classic, a 10-team high school basketball tournament that pitted some of North County’s top teams against other teams from Riverside and Orange counties. Flash forward to today and Eshelman is now the head coach at Carlsbad High School, but he and The Coast News have once again teamed up for the second installment of the Tip-Off Classic. Eshelman believes the tournament will surpass the inaugural event. “I think we have a lot of great teams who play the right way and play hard, and there is a lot of individual talent,” Eshelman said. “I think people will be really impressed with the quality of basketball.” The tournament also doubles as a junior varsity tournament for the 10 schools participating — Army Navy, Carlsbad, El Camino, La Costa Canyon, Mission Hills. Mission Vista, Santa Fe Christian. Scripps Ranch, Temecula Valley and Westview high schools. This also allows attendees to get a glimpse of many of the future stars in the respective programs. The Coast News has your preview of the tournament, which kicks off Nov. 29.

from Duffield Sports Center to Lancer Gymnasium at Carlsbad High School, where Eshelman was named head coach over the summer. Eshelman said Carlsbad’s main gym, which has hosted the Under Armour Holiday Classic in previous years, will give his program a chance to showcase its facilities and the upstart program to the rest of North County and beyond. Additionally, the tournament format has changed with the elimination of a semifinal game, meaning that the top teams in each of the fiveteam pools will play for the championship. Last year, as a result of CIF Southern Section rules that bar their teams from playing in more than five games in a single tournament, Temecula Valley was unable to participate in the title game after winning its semifinal. Eshelman said the change allows for teams from the Southern Section to participate in the tournament both now and in the future.

Who is the favorite in Pool A? Last year, you could point to star-studded host Army Navy has the clear favorite, but this year the field is much more wide open, with several teams capable of taking home the title. From pool A, expect Army Navy or Temecula Valley to make a push for the finals berth. If it were January, the clear favorite would be Mission Hills, as they have two very significant players sitting out after transferring: former Escondido F Warren Washington and former Army Navy PG Ed Fenzi. The Grizzlies do have two other transfers, Chris and Josh Olave from Eastlake HS, who are both solid basketball players but have a much higher profile as football players. With that said, Army Navy boasts perhaps the top player in the field in senior F Richard Polanco, who is considered to be a mid-major Division 1 prospect. Temecula Valley is undersized, but has a senior-heavy team with very experienced guards who can shoot the ball, spearheaded by PG Shaun Mitchell and F Bryce Denham. Expect most of the games in Pool A to be very competitive, but if push comes to shove, the Golden Bears have to be considered as the slight favorite to emerge.

and Army Navy headlining the field, but the favorite might be a surprise to some: Santa Fe Christian. The parochial school from Solana Beach has the most experienced team in the field, and can beat you in a variety of ways. Point guard Owen Aschieris is one of the region’s most underappreciated talents, and senior post Charles Dudley, who recently announced a commitment to Bryant University, is a bruiser down low with post moves reminiscent of his father, former NBA standout Chris Dudley. Add into the mix an intriguing junior wing in TJ Askew, and Santa Fe Christian might be favored to win the entire thing. In fact, mark them down as the favorite. What will be the best games to attend? The action starts almost out the gate with a Nov. 29 tilt between Army Navy and Mission Hills at Mission Hills. A Dec. 2 matchup between host El Camino and Santa Fe Christian will also be an intriguing matchup. On that same evening, Army Navy travels to Temecula Valley in a rematch of what was arguably the tournament’s best game last year. A Dec. 7 game between Scripps Ranch and Westview features two of the top shooters in the county in Falcons senior G Baturay Koyuncu and Wolverines senior W Ben Okhotin.

What is the same? Pool games are played at the host team’s site and all begin at 7 p.m. This gives teams an opportunity to play home games before their conference season and serves as a nice fundraiser for the respective sites, Eshelman said. All games on the final days of play, Dec. 8, 9 and 10 will be held at Carlsbad High School. The varsity Who wins Pool B? championship will be held What’s new this year?

Assistance League Rancho San Dieguito gets kids to camp ENCINITAS — The average cost for Encinitas sixth-graders to attend Camp Marston is $250, which can be prohibitive for some. The outdoor, overnight camp is a tradition for the students, and Assistance League Rancho San Dieguito (ALRSD) recently presented the Encinitas School District a check for $14,650 for scholarships. The sixth-grade teach-

ers who accompany their students to the camp say that the students leave camp “more responsible, more self- aware,” and have learned to work collaboratively together. In addition to outdoor classes, the students engage in numerous social activities such as rock wall climbing, canoeing and archery. To learn more about ALRSD, visit alrsd.org.

people,” he said. “As to the demographics, we also have put together programs that attract people who can’t run 60-yard dashes. This is why we started programs like Pickelball, which is one of the fastest growing racquetball sports in the world.” Van Den Berg pointed out how the Tennis Club has been paying a lot of attention to membership so they can continue to stay ahead of the curve. “The good news about all that, is the average age of

our membership is dropping, and dropping considerably, especially with the addition of the 80 memberships,” he said. While the Tennis Club is involved in a number of community outreach programs, about once a month, it also hosts a major event. From an internal perspective, Van Den Berg noted its new accounting procedures. The Tennis Board is also considering a remodel at the club. “The Tennis Club hasn’t

really been remodeled since it was built. It’s looking just a little bit tired, so we are looking at remodeling all of our bathrooms,” he said. “We’ve also just hired somebody to run our pro shop so we’re looking at remodeling the pro shop, and while we’re doing that, we’re looking at remodeling the entryway to the Tennis Club.” The last item that Van Den Berg pointed out was their proposed plan to institute a fitness program at the Tennis Club.

During the presentation, Parks highlighted the benefits of automated meters, such as increasing the amount of water usage data from only six meter reads a year to 8,760, early leak detection notification, improved accuracy of water

bills, and enhances staff safety in terms of lessening potential injuries such as spider bites, bee stings and more. “The district will have an online customer portal which will allow customers to review their water usage,

set up alerts on water usage patterns, and enhance the customer’s ability to manage their water usage,” she said. Parks added, “And even with the increase in meter reads that the District will receive, customers billing will continue to be bi-monthly.”

information that they requested. We met with the lead architect out there three weeks ago, and this is a process to bring the entire property under the national historic designation,” said Keene, adding how this would raise Osuna to a whole new level of significance. The Osuna has a building that is circa 1830, he noted. “It’s one of the oldest buildings in California, so this is a very important issue we’re working on,” he said. According to Keene, other moving parts that have been addressed pertain to the equine portion.

effect that it impacts not only our community but our immediate neighborhood,” he said. “They’re in a process and I think it could be a good project but they have to do it in a way that they don’t offend and destroy and build within what is acceptable and reasonable.” Because Watermark would be located in the north commercial zone, several legislative changes and discretionary permits must be approved before residential units are allowed.

Such land-use modifications require Community Plan and Local Coastal Program amendments and a new zoning map. The development is slated to include seven affordable units, four of which will be deeded at no cost to a nonprofit benefit corporation selected by the city that will keep all the rental income. The affordable units will help the city meet the state-approved requirements of its housing element.

While feed vendors have been switched, jumping arena changes have been made, including hauling in fresh sand as well as a new piece of equipment that has made the arena safer, he said. Keene also pointed out the $15,000 grant they received from the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. According to Keene, the grant enabled them to landscape the entire perimeter of the adobe that was compatible to its historic theme. “With the landscape and with the materials we were able to purchase, our crew installed boxes and plants and irrigation systems for landscaping,” he said. “There’s a whole different feel when you go out there.”

As for happenings, Keene said that Celebrate Osuna, which took place in June, was a great event, describing it as one of the biggest events they’ve ever had out there. Other events included Rancho Days and the Farm to Table outdoor dinner that sold more than 100 tickets and raised $12,600. “Half of that will go to the Osuna Fund for future restoration and the other half of that goes to the Garden Club for some of their future projects,” Keene said. Keene also commended his crew for their work behind the scenes for these special events, which included the setup and planning. “They deserve a shout out,” Keene said.

to appreciate it, he said. “I don’t know if the city always appreciates it,” he added. Regardless, the Merry Tree of Wishes, he said, can offer people a “cleansing” of sorts, allowing them to write things that they know might never happen, but it’s a way of them accepting reality. And despite the country’s political climate following the election, the Origami Guy said people always need this kind of outlet. “I read every wish on the tree, when I take it

down,” he said. “And I look at them as they go up and I laugh and I cry every time I read them because there’ll be somebody who will wish for a threesome, and that’s totally fine with me, and then there’ll be somebody who wishes that they find a cure for dementia, because they want their dad to know them again.” Once the tree comes down, he said none of the crane ornaments or their wishes goes to waste either — the cranes usually become part of a special project that will get auctioned off.

Now he’s part of a special group. The Dodgers’ first minority manager joins Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda as the only Los Angeles skipper to be selected the National League’s top manager. “Everybody just really bought into the process,’’ Roberts said.

The payoff for Roberts came with a distinguished award, more than 200 congratulatory text messages and a kiss from his wife, Tricia, on national television. “I’m sure I’m going to get some ribbing,’’ Roberts said of the smooch. After hugging his players all season, Roberts deserved it. Contact Jay Paris at jparis8@aol.com.

tainment and education, is beneficial to the community. “The fairgrounds hosts the county fair, music festivals and horse races,” she added. “Holding gun shows in the same venue is akin to a pediatrician renting his office to a tobacco shop. The health crisis created by the proliferation of guns is exactly like the health crisis created by cancer-producing cigarettes and secondhand smoke. “Yesterday, the gun lobby had the loudest voice, as they often do,” Sharp said. “That is why it will take bold leadership on the parts of all public boards of state facilities to help reduce death by guns.”

The 700-item collection was assembled by authors Joshua Foer and Dylan Thuras and editor Ella Morton, who spent four years giving a consistent tone to each of the entries. An Australian native who came to New York City seven years ago, Morton is a nonfiction writer who was hosting a web show that spotlighted the city’s underground oddities. She came across the Atlas Obscura website, founded in 2009 by Foer and Thuras, just when they needed an editor for their upcoming book.

“Atlas Obscura” gives slight mention to Salvation Mountain, five miles east of Niland, Calif. Leonard Knight, a focused man of simple faith, transformed a portion of the Chocolate Mountains into a monument to his love for Jesus. Before Knight died in 2014, thousands visited the Technicolor hills, his multicolored motor vehicles and architecturally unique ancillary buildings. (Think domed rooms constructed of discarded car doors and tree limbs.) A volunteer group currently is watching over the mountain. Photo by E’Louise Ondash

Authors Joshua Foer and Dylan Thuras and editor Ella Morton have created what they consider to be a catalog of people, places and things that “inspire our sense of wonder” – the kind of things that don’t make it into traditional guideground Gardens — hand- meteorite (the largest to hit books.

“We started with places that Josh and Dylan had come across, then opened it up to others,” Morton said in a telephone interview from her Brooklyn office. “We currently have about 10,000 attractions. There are 700 in this book and there will be future books.” Readers can open any page and begin reading entries that are categorized by continents, countries and regions. Southern California’s entries, among others, include Slab City, community of artists and misfits near Niland; California City (“the largest city never built”), an hour southwest of Death Valley; and Fresno’s Forestiere Under-

carved catacombs where a citrus grove thrives. (Who knew?) If you prefer to get your kicks indoors, there are museums listed that are dedicated to asparagus (Schrobenhausen, Germany); jewelry made from human hair (Kansas City, Mo.); voodoo (New Orleans, of course); male genitalia (you’ll have to go to Iceland for this one); and frogs and guns (yes, in the same building; “… the relationship is not clear,” say the authors.) “Atlas Obscura” reminds us there are so many things to see in the world and so little time. There are coffins hanging from a cliff in the Philippines; a 60-ton

My second pick is “Cuba’s Car Culture: Celebrating the Island’s Automotive Love Affair” (Quarto Publishing Group; $35). Everyone knows of Cuba’s vintage cars but not much of their history. Writer Tom Cotter, photographer Bill Warner and automotive historian Wellington Morton give us page after page of glorious color photos and

This 1951 Pontiac is one of the better maintained vintage cars in Cuba. Cubans keep these cars in running condition not out of love, but because there are no alternatives, say the authors of “Cuba’s Car Culture.” Because official Cuban-American relations are improving and the number of American visitors is already ballooning, Cubans are working hard to upgrade their 60-year-old cars.

easy-to-digest narrative on the history of Cuba’s cars, the country and its proud people. Within the narrative are gems that make the island nation’s story come alive. For instance, during the 1950s, money was so plentiful in Cuba that more Cadillacs were sold per capita than any place in the world. “And since many of (former President Fulgencio) Batista’s followers owned Caddys, some of the cars on the road today may have a direct lineage to the controversial leader’s regime.” And there’s this: “During the actual revolution, (Fidel) Castro drove a green 1959 Oldsmobile equipped with a V-8 engine, a Hydramatic transmission, and power steering.” Younger brother Raul Castro drove a 1951 Chevy, and Che Guevara’s vehicle of choice was a 1960 Chevy, now on display at the Deposito del

Automovil car museum in Havana. Just how many pre-1960 road relics are on still cruising Cuban roads? About 60,000, say the authors, mostly in Havana and Santiago de Cuba. About half of the cars were made in the 1950s, a quarter in the 1940s, and amazingly, a quarter in the 1930s. “We even saw some 80-year-olds — Model A’s and 1935 Fords — that were still operating on a daily basis,” writes Cotter. “Compound that age with incredibly rough roads, poor gas quality, and an almost complete absence of correct spare parts, and you’ll begin to appreciate just how ingenious the Cubans are.” Visit QuartoKnows. com.

TURN TO TASTE OF WINE ON 23

The simple, yet elegant Margherita pizza, is a perfect example of the Pappalecco mantra of utilizing fresh, quality ingredients to create fabulous food. Photo by David Boylan

Pappalecco brings a taste ofTuscany to Cardiff tions in the works for the area? Del Mar will be next. We’ll be open in a month or so. Tuscany is very likely the most famous region in the world. There should be ‘Your Tuscan Home’ in every neighborhood all over the world.

uthentic can be a term tossed around loosely these days but there are certain situations where it really rings true, and the new Pappalecco in Cardiff run by brothers Lorenzo and Francesco Bucci is one of those. I had an opportunity to eat my way through a good portion of their menu and can attest to the quality and freshness of the ingredients. The pizzas are especially good and the gelato is amazing. I wanted to get the backstory on Pappalecco so I sat down with Chef Lorenzo Bucci to learn more.

There is strong Tuscan connection going on at Pappalecco and also evident in your Italian last name. Can you elaborate on that connection and how it influenced the restaurant? I love to create, within the framework of the Tuscan tradition. I include my ideas in some of our creations, especially when it comes to gelato and pastries. But everything is and remains a Tuscan product. Nobody taught me anything else but being a Tuscan chef, now it’s in my blood and I love it.

There is an emphasis on quality fresh ingredients; can you elaborate on that philosophy? The means to perfection is simplicity. It is much easier to control fewer and genuine ingredients, ingredients that one knows, than to put into the mix crazy things that the human palate is unfamiliar with.

It always turns out better when you keep it simple. Always keep in mind two words: Mother Nature.

The pizza is fabulous and you have so many options, tell me what makes your pizza stand out? Simplicity, that’s what stands out. Simple, genuine, as close to Mother Nature as it can be. This is what I learned in Tuscany. Less is more! Mother Nature made many miracles and she created everything we need. A great chef should keep what Mother Nature offers. Mather Nature is an endless experience of discovery. Do you know how many ingredients are in our pizza? Just five: Flour, water, yeast, salt and… love.

You also have a nice selection of Panini’s and salads, were those created based on Tuscan influences as well? Yes, the foundation for all of our food is Tuscan based. Simple, genuine, with the best This is a family endeavor ingredients possible. This is correct? Who is involved and what I learned in Tuscany. Less is more! what are your roles?

It was a masterpiece ($38). The wines were generously California chosen, but with an added Guadalupe Valley Mexican wine list that I had not seen before in such a premium restaurant like Coasterra. This is the work of esteemed Cohn Restaurant Beverage Director Maurice DiMarino. This Cali-Baja connection couldn’t be paired better than with Coasterra’s menu. DiMarino even has a custom made south of the border blend called Costa Terra, with help from one of the leading wineries in Guadalupe, Santo Tomas. Coasterra now has a Happy Hour from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Enjoy $7 appetizers and sip on $7 cocktails or house wines and $5 select draft beers.

The Italians put on a ‘Molto Bene’ Wine Show “Brunello,” in Italian means “nice dark one” and it’s Italy’s most sought after wine, made in the hills and valleys of Montalcino, in Tuscany.

The 2011 vintage is the current one, released in the summer of this year after four years in barrel and one year in bottle. But the most excitement at the recent San Diego Kobrand Tour d’ Italia was for a 2010 Brunello from Tenute Silvio Nardi ($63). For Brunello, 2010 was a brilliant year. Every once in a decade, Italy has flawless weather for peak flavor of its 5,200 acres devoted to the glory of Brunello. Some 400 wineries patiently wait the years of required five-year maturation before releasing its wines to an impatient, adoring public.
