Board steps back from cell tower plan By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Days following the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s town hall meeting regarding cell towers in an effort to improve wireless coverage, the board reconsidered their former stance at their March board meeting. At the town hall meeting, the “Concerned RSFA Members Group” consisting of S. Todd Neal, Ann-Marie Weller, Lisa Bartlett, Susan Foster, Laurel LeMarie and Mark Leslie gave a passionate and informative presentation. They highlighted various issues including how the towers could have a negative impact and/or infringement on property values, its California historic landmark designation, Covenant restrictions, CC&Rs, and more. President Ann Boon was first to speak at the March 3 board meeting. She thanked everyone who attended the town hall meeting earlier in the week. “I especially want to thank those of you who spoke so eloquently of your concerns and worries. I think I speak for all of us

that in retrospect, the board members and the technology committee should have been the individuals that evening for the town hall meeting dialogue rather than the American Tower Company (ATC) and association manager. Boon said that the board and technology committee listened that evening and will incorporate what they heard as they move on. “I cannot emphasize strongly enough that no one on this board would ever consider taking any action that would violate our Covenant CC&Rs,” she said. “If members of the tech committee and the board can be faulted for anything, it is probably our overabundance of energy and enthusiasm.” According to Boon, the committee members who worked on the cell project met with many service proThe Rancho Santa Fe Association board continues to find ways and viders and did not arrive at locations to improve wireless coverage in Rancho Santa Fe.

RANCHO SANTA FE — Rancho Santa Fe continues its cleanup efforts following the powerful Pacific rain and windstorm that pummeled San Diego County on Jan. 31. Downed trees forced road closures. “That was the most damage I’ve ever seen from a wind event we had on that Sunday night,” said Arnold Keene, field operations manager at the Rancho Santa Fe Association (RSFA). Keene took part in a presentation at the last RSFA board meeting showing photos on how certain areas of the Covenant looked the following morning. “We had five roads closed Monday morning when I got here due to the trees falling over the road,” he said, adding how most of the power was returned that evening. “By Monday evening, all the roads were open” Keene told the board and members present that cleanup is still underway. Tree canopies are being assessed on whether or not they need to be removed for safety issues. The big goal the Association achieved was to reopen the roads as quickly as possible while keeping the community and staff members safe. On the topic of safety, RSFA board member Kim Eggleston addressed dead trees he notices when

He also described them as stressed properties. Eggleston wanted to know from Keene how residents of these properties could be contacted to reduce these potential fire hazards and take care of their trees. “We contact people when we see a dead tree, a fire hazard or when we receive a call or complaint,” said Keene, adding how the fire department is also very active especially in the springtime. Eggleston then wanted to know if the fire department could issue an order. Keene said that could be done and it is considered enforceable. “The fire department in the past has gone onto properties in what they call a forced abatement,” he said, noting how the cleanup costs are added onto a property owner’s tax bill. Eggleston voiced that he thought something should be on the Association website to alert members on the importance of tree maintenance. If El Niño turns out to be a bust coupled with another warm summer, Eggleston said, the threat of fire will be on the rise and residents should clear out their dead trees. “Because they’re affecting the safety for the entire community just by TURN TO STORMS ON 14

After American Tower Company (ATC) made their presentation on proposed towers at the San Diego County right-of-way locale at La Glorieta and RSF Association owned sites at Via de Fortuna and Lago Linda, voices of opposition then emerged. According to RSFA manager, Bill Overton, he received a call from a concerned group of Covenant members asking if they could be on the agenda. And they were invited. The “Concerned RSFA Members Group” was comprised of S. Todd Neal, Ann-Marie Weller, Lisa Bartlett, Susan Foster, Laurel LeMarie and Mark Leslie. All took their turn at the podium. Ann-Marie Weller was up first. She told the crowd that she has lived in the Covenant for more than 16 years and her residence was directly across the street from an intended cell tower location on Via de Fortuna. Weller conveyed that she was on the wireless master plan committee from 2003 to 2005. So, she wasn’t opposed to improved cell service. Her concerns were about the current proposal.

RSF Garden Club readies for special events By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At a recent Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club quarterly meeting, executive director Erin Browne shared upcoming special events which the club is taking part in while inviting community wide participation. Both events mentioned will occur in April. First to appear on the calendar is The Village Tag & Craft Sale April 16 and April 17 at the Garden Club. According to Browne, this event has transformed and taken on various forms for more than a decade. “It started out as an annual rummage sale and has transitioned into a two-day sale, including professional retail sellers as well as homemade items and rummage sale type items,” she said.

Browne pointed out that this is an important two-day event because holding a 501c3 nonprofit status means that the club relies on fundraisers such as this, as well as its membership dues. The Tag Sale is one way it supports the organization’s operations, she said. And this is where the community plays a huge role in its success. “We’d love for the community to support the event by being a vendor and/or shopping at the event. There aren’t many opportunities like this for residents to get out and display their hobbies, talents, and treasures,” Browne said. “Garden Club members can rent a booth for $50 to sell their items and non-Garden Club members TURN TO GARDEN CLUB ON 14

It’s a jungle in there:

Park opens butterfly exhibit By Tony Cagala

ESCONDIDO — By Silas Hamernik’s count, at least 24 butterflies had landed on him as he walked through the exhibit. The 9-year-old, clad in a bright yellow shirt and jacket, seemed somewhat dismayed every time one of the insects would land on his arm, shoulder, back — even his shoe tops. And there were probably plenty more by the time he left. Last weekend marked the opening of the annual Butterfly Jungle exhibit at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The several week’s long exhibit allows guests an opportunity to walk among the butterflies, seeing 30 to 35 different species that have been imported from around the world. The exhibit receives anywhere from 6,000 to 8,000 butterfly pupa for the display, said Don Sterner, animal care manager of the bird department at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The pupa come mostly from butterfly farmers, which the park researches or from butterfly brokers that import the pupa and sell to the park. “It’s very specific on what we can import,” Sterner said. The USDA provides the regulations on what can be

imported, because, Sterner added, technically, the butterflies in the exhibit are considered an agricultural pest. Still, importing the pupa from butterfly farmers has a positive impact on the environment and supports a sort of eco-friendly business, Sterner explained. “It’s something that the local people, in say Costa Rica, are involved in,” said Sterner. “When they become butterfly farmers, they realize that the

rain forest around them provides these butterflies, which gives them an income. So they know not to disturb the forests.” But because the imported butterflies are considered pests, extra staff is brought in, in part to stand guard at the exhibit’s exit, and perform a quick screening, ensuring that no butterfly is hitchhiking on someone’s clothing. Park staff has also been receiving the butterfly pupa in the weeks leading up to

the exhibit’s opening, carefully inspecting them for parasites that could pose a risk to native species or for species that might have been mistakenly shipped and aren’t allowed under the USDA regulations. The pupas are received with such care, Sterner explained, and are unpacked in Plexiglass containers, almost as though staff was working with some sort of radioactive material. Adding to the complexity of putting on the exhibit is the discouraging of breeding between the butterflies. While there’s nothing to prevent them from mating, the exhibit doesn’t provide host plants for caterpillars to feed on once they’ve hatched. “We have to make sure the plants we have in here won’t encourage any sort of survivability of the caterpillars,” said Sterner. “That’s not to say they’re not going to breed and lay eggs anywhere, because that does happen, it’s just the fact that once the caterpillars hatch out they won’t have food items.” The Butterfly Jungle does contain plenty of butterfly-friendly plants and flowers, however — a part of the educational component of the exhibit, which TURN TO BUTTERFLIES ON 14

RANCHO SANTA FE — Members of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club invited Tomas Herrera-Mishler, CEO of the Balboa Park Conservancy, to their quarterly meeting on Feb. 24. While Mishler touched upon the history of the Conservancy, he gave members a glimpse into the future: the botanical building restoration project. Herrera-Mishler shared that upon first glance it doesn’t appear that the botanical building needs a reinvestment. However, if one looks more closely, there’s significant rust to the structural beams, termite damage, and an antiquated watering system. Herrera-Mishler said

tive, the plantings tend to be static so there is not a lot of reason for people to want to return on a regular basis. Realizing the needs of the restoration project, the Balboa Park Conservancy issued a RFP that included an enhancement for visitor experience, restoring the structure, and restoring the grounds around it including the missing pergola. “We selected an amazing world class design team,” he said, noting how the choice came down to RNT Architect. “They are a highly competent and a well-regarded firm.” The horticultural team was also savvy exTURN TO RESTORATION ON 14

Is Encinitas for sale? By Sheila S. Cameron

No increase in student to teacher ratios at SDUHSD By Steven McDowell

The San Dieguito School Board has recently voted and approved salary increases for its teachers that included assurances the certificated staff will be the highest paid in the county. This binding, voted and approved agreement, the administration has indicated will not result in higher student to teacher ratios to offset its increased cost. The interim budget, being presented to the board to approve on Thursday, indicates otherwise. Page 166 of the current board packet shows an additional increase of 201 students to the previously forecasted increase of 133 in 2017 that was

already on top of 255 new students next year. That’s an increase of 589 students, based on the 12,214 for this year going up to the new total of 12,803 for 2017. Additional students, mean more revenue, somewhere around $8,000 for every new student based on the LCFF formula. That would be fine with all the new buildings, if the forecast also reflected 10 to 20 more teachers to keep the district around the same staffing ratios, it does not. Based on pages 161, 181 and 184 of the board packet, teachers and staff levels are basically the same for the next three years. Having already ex-

pressed my concerns about the prior increase of almost 400 students, this addition of 201 more students to the forecast makes me even more worried that the student to teacher ratios are going to go up and/or there will be higher deficit spending then want is being forecasting. Some of the members of the board are also worried and they should be. If you are also concerned, let the board know. Ask them to put it in writing and put to a vote that the student to teacher ratios will not be raised. Steven McDowell is a Del Mar resident and former candidate for the SDUHSD school board.

Letters to the Editor Put it on the ballot Dear Mayor and Del Mar Councilmembers, In our small city, the massive Watermark development should be placed on the ballot for the voters to decide its fate. When the zoning of our Community Plan is being changed from one zone to another with such a drastic effect on our quality of life, it should be left to the voters to decide. Encinitas passed Prop A and it is working very well. That proposition simply says that when there is a proposed change in zoning, density or height, the people get to decide if the change goes forward and becomes law. Please put Watermark on the ballot, or, ask the voters to approve all future major zone changes, including the zoning change

needed for Watermark. This seems the best way to protect our Community Plan and quality of life. Let the people decide, yes or no.

Is everything in our City for sale? Even our integrity? Why is it that the rich can pay their way onto any building — whether it is a library, community park, or ball field? Is this not what is partly wrong with Congress today? Lobbyists and people of means can give money and own people as well as places? I never thought I would see this in Encinitas, but why not? We are merely a microcosm of the larger picture of the way government unfortunately operates in this country. Franklin D. Roosevelt, former president of the United States put it this way: “Government by Organized Money is as dangerous as government by an Organized Mob.” The Encinitas Library went through a controversial ballot initiative over the site for our library. The current site was chosen overwhelmingly by 66 percent of the voters. During the construction phase of the library, tours were available to people who paid $500 each for the privilege. Over $50,000 was raised, along with many other personal generous donations to help make this library a reality. The grand opening of the library took place in February, 2008. The Encinitas Library, the citizens’ library, is the “Jewel on the Hill” in our city with a 180 degree view of the Pacific Ocean that can be enjoyed by all who visit it. Our library has become the second most used library in the county. The building belongs to us, and is staffed by county library employees!

It had many hoops to jump and obstacles to overcome, but always the citizens of this city were behind it, in support of it, celebrated with joy at its opening, and enjoy its use today.

Overton navigates Town Hall meeting The Coaster Life By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Despite a passionate town hall meeting hosted by the Rancho Santa Fe Association regarding potential cell towers, Association manager Bill Overton set a welcoming tone, inviting all to lend their perspectives on an interesting exchange of ideas. On Feb. 29 at the Garden Club, Covenant members were present to share their views and listen to a presentation from American Tower Company (ATC) on their multifaceted approach of constructing a total of 3, 95-foot faux eucalyptus tree cell towers in Rancho Santa Fe. A map of the proposed locations was handed out which highlighted RSF Association owned properties at Via de Fortuna and Lago Lindo, and a San Diego County right-ofway location at La Glorieta. Before opponents expressed their concerns, Overton said that he wanted to give everyone an opportunity to speak and share their opinions whether or not they agreed with the proposed project or not. Overton said that on the previous week, a concerned group of Covenant members

contacted him to ask if it was appropriate to get on the agenda. He told the crowd that he thought it was an excellent idea because the Town Hall meeting was an opportunity to share an exchange of ideas for everyone. “I understand there are

improving internet and cell phone services. “The board set goals then, and tonight, we are having the first public meeting in how to improve cell service in the community,” he said, noting how the goal was to address current service inadequacies. “I hear a lot about

passionate feelings about this and that’s okay,” he said. “But let’s have a really constructive and collegial neighborly meeting tonight regardless of the varying opinions.” Before the presenters, Overton highlighted the cell service topic. A few years before he became Association manager, he said, there was a survey conducted on what needed to be improved in the community. The two top items were

safety issues in the form of poor 911 service and coverage in many areas.” According to Overton, not everyone had to agree on all the points. However, the board listened to the feedback of the community and knew these issues needed improvement. They were responding to a community need. “This has been a top priority since before I started,” he said, adding how in 20152016 a technology committee

had been formed. When meeting with various companies, Overton said that they unanimously heard from everyone that the Ranch faced challenges due to low density, grade, and topography issues. After Overton set the collegial stage, one by one, everyone conveyed their concerns, wishes and suggestions. The most resonating presentation was from the Concerned RSFA Members Group who had spoken to Overton the week before. They recommended that the Association not go into a contract with ATC, but instead, slow down and take a step back. Overton described their presentation as excellent. The group outlined polished arguments against cell towers including Rancho Santa Fe’s historic designation, concerns about declining property values, an overview of land classifications, Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), health impact, and more. “Thank you very much for a very positive meeting on a very challenging issue and it speaks highly of this community,” Overton said.

Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club reiterates mission By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Members of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club listened to a financial update from their co-president Fred Wasserman. After Wasserman told the crowd that it was their policy not to have meetings that went on for too long, a copy of the organization’s balance sheet appeared on a large screen for attendees to view at their Feb. 24 meeting. “We have almost $3 million in cash and we have virtually no liabilities so the club is very, very solvent,” Wasserman said. Wasserman went on to say that the funds they have available are in sync with the RSF Garden Club’s mission to provide grants to community organizations on an annual basis, which fit the objective of their own organization.

According to Wasserman, on a year-to-date basis, the club experienced a little bit of loss for eight months accumulating $21,000. One reason for the loss, he said, was that the club cannot quite cover the entire operation out of their store because they just don’t volume. And to date, the club has not had any events. “Last year we had a $50,000 contribution which went to our bottom line and so we actually had a profit last year,” he said. Wasserman noted that moving forward their executive director, Erin Browne, continues to do a good job in terms of getting grants. And the RSF Garden Club was a place that members could still be incredibly proud of, he said. Wasserman shared that the Rancho Santa Fe Gar-

den Club has transformed over the years. “It’s not like it was in the past. It isn’t like the 1,500 members that existed here in the 1970s when this was the social center of the community,” he said. “I mean we can’t be that kind of club anymore so our club has to be focused on particular things that we can do best.” One of these avenues was the number of grants

servatively, especially considering they lived through the “dreaded depression.” Being an advocate for the “greatest generation” is very different from being an advocate for the current 70 year old in America. I define being an advocate as someone who is a responsible party or durable power of attorney for someone who truly needs a health care advocate. Our market research

ow do you get around North County? For most of us, car ownership is required for daily work commutes, running errands, and enjoying life in our part of the region. Still, I would ask, is car ownership a way of life for you? There’s a strange car culture here in San Diego. I joke on social media about how often I see San Diegans, sitting in parked cars. Eating food. Doing daily tasks. Or just staring out their windshield at passersby. I know I’m not the only one who’s observed this. It’s a bizarre social phenomenon that I’ve only found here. Back to car ownership. I’ve never been a big car guy. After buying the car of my dreams six years ago, I have been getting far less enjoyment out of it. I just find it tedious to drive everywhere, deal with traffic, and pay more in routine maintenance as the car ages. After I moved to Carlsbad, I got in the habit of driving to my office in Torrey Pines, but Interstate 5 is such a crap shoot at rush

hour. Slowly, I began to take the Coaster to work, as an escape from the traffic. At first it was once a week. Now, I take it every day. It was an adjustment to take the train; I’m dependent on its schedule to get around. But over time, I have found that dependence to be liberating. I now read and listen to podcasts on my way to work. I take photos of the ocean from my seat on the Coaster, and post them on social media. The Coaster trains are quiet, clean, courteous, and filled mostly with working professionals like myself. I’m more relaxed. Gone are the days of driving downtown to see friends, and scrambling to find a parking spot (and dealing with the inevitable parking tickets) — I just take the Coaster down to the Santa Fe Train Depot. As a craft beer enthusiast, I inevitably have a couple beers when I’m there. If you enjoy beer too, taking the Coaster back to North County is the safe and responsible way to go. Also, when I want to skip out early from a downtown event or social function, I can just blame the train schedule and leave without giving any other excuse.

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Osuna Committee recently announced that

it has new members that have shown interest in being part of the committee. Rancho Santa Fe Association (RSFA) board member and chair of the Osuna Committee, Jerry Yahr, recently shared the news at a RSFA board meeting. “We have four new members,” said Yahr, noting how one was renewing their term. Yahr made a motion to approve the five new members and the board did so unanimously. Current Osuna Committee members include Yahr, Kate Williams, Stuart Schouten and Jack

was in his MFA program in Connecticut. “Sarah is a fiction writer and has published a number of short stories recently,” he said. For his newest piece, “Resting Places” is about a middle-aged woman who has lost her only son in a car accident. “The novel begins about a year after she learns of his death, and she’s been having great trouble overcoming it. Her marriage is suffering and there was a mystery surrounding his death,” he said, noting at least the mother sees it as a mystery. The accident occurred in New Mexico. In a “chance meeting,” the mother, Elizabeth, meets a man who is at a roadside memorial remembering the death of his own wife. This is Elizabeth’s impetus to journey on a cross-country trip in an effort to find out what happened to her son. Along the way, she finds spiritual solace and the hope for better days.

writing this piece came from visiting roadside memorials. “I finally stopped at one, and I looked at what was written and what was left there,” he said. “And it really was telling a story.” From start to finish, “Resting Places” took a couple years to craft. White writes in a renovated small cabin which used to be a chicken coop. In the woods, he writes in the morning with his two Labradors resting nearby. When White visits guests at the RSF library for his reading, he hopes that people leave the event with enhanced sense of meaning. “What I think I’d like people to take away from reading the novel is that we all experience loss, and we have to go through it,” he said. “And we can learn to deepen our feelings, deepen our love for the lost one, and deepen our understanding for the lost one.” “Resting Places” is a story of inspiration.

The celestial beauty of the Sonoran Light exhibit

he sun will not be hurried as it moves toward the Phoenix horizon, but I would if I could. It’s hard to wait for a more intense darkness here at the Desert Botanical Garden in north Phoenix. As the daylight slowly fades, the eight light-based installations by British artist Bruce Munro gradually reveal themselves, growing brighter by the minute throughout the garden. We are standing at one of the installations called Water Towers. The 20 structures consist of circular wooden flats supporting recycled plastic liter bottles (216 in each tower) filled with water and feathery light filaments. As the sky darkens, the colors, which

This installation, called Water Towers, includes 20 6-foot towers. Each structure contains 216 recycled plastic bottles (4,320 in all) that filled with water and fiber optic threads that change colors against a background of African and classical music. Photo by T.E. Lucier

melt from one into another, grow brighter. The transformation is set against a soundtrack that includes music from South Africa and some classical selections. Visitors mill about, not wanting to leave before they are sure they have experienced the lights at their brightest. It is positively celestial. Other worldly. Interplanetary. Fun. We can’t linger too long because we have yet to see

Munro’s other seven, larger-than-life creations that are fashioned of steel, glass, plastic bottles, wood, acrylic, copper, ceramic, light and hundreds of miles of glowing fiber-optic filaments. Called Sonoran Light, the exhibit came to life after two years of planning; five weeks of installation (Field of Light alone took three weeks to install, and when you see it you’ll know why); the help of more than 100 members of the Munro team and untold garden staff and volunteers; and the placement of more than 30,000 luminescent spheres and hundreds of miles of glowing,

The Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix has more than 2,600 specimens – some commonplace, some exotic. They are planted more closely than they appear in nature and are irrigated (with recycled water), so are not subject to the perils of drought. This is peak season for blooms.

multi-colored fiber optics. One other number: And as of March 1, more than 87,500 visitors had come to the garden see this amazing meld of the desert and manmade and recycled materials. The Desert Botanical Gardens, amazing without these massive works of art and technology, seems so naturally suited to them. As a whole, Sonoran Light is magical, with each piece evoking different emotions, but it is difficult not to see the installation titled Field of Light as downright mind-boggling. Many workers over many days (three weeks, to be exact) managed to create what might be compared to a giant lava flow of fiber optics, lights and luminescent globes cascading down a nearby mountain and onto the desert floor. Seeing this awe-inspiring installation, spread over many acres, is the reward for making it uphill to the farthest section of the garden. An overlook allows visitors

to survey all that is light and holy. This, of course, is high-season for desert visitors and for good reason; it’s also high season for The Big Bloom. Because all growing things in this Phoenix garden are lovingly attended and carefully hydrated (using recycled water), the cacti, succulent and trees here need not be concerned with drought. Visitors will see some of the more familiar plants, but many unfamiliar ones, too. For instance, the newest member of the garden family is a 37-foot, Seussian-looking Boojum tree, a member of the ocotillo family. (You’ll see the resemblance in the leaves and spines.) Another reason you’ll want to come in daylight hours is to see Arizona’s trademark, the magnificent giant saguaro. The garden has what are probably the largest specimens you’ll ever encounter.

Women’s retreat at the Village Church

DRAGONS HEAD FOR REGIONALS Two R. Roger Rowe Middle School robotics teams compete on Feb. 27 at a regional FTC Robotics Championship Tournament, against 36 teams. The Rancho Santa Fe Intergalactic Dragons — Conrad Delgado, Lucas Luwa, Clara Ritto, Daniel Scuba and Justin Yu — were part of the first-place alliance team and qualified, as one of four teams in the region headed for the Super West Regional Tournament in Oakland March 24. The school’s RSF Portal Pounders — Katherine Arnold, Taber Ball, Arielle Sanford and Caneel Young — placed first in the Think Award, which is given to the team that best reflects the journey the team took, as they experienced the engineering design process during the build season.

perts. He told the Garden Club to keep their eyes on the project as well as the progress it makes. “I think you’ll be very excited to come down and visit.

RANCHO SANTA FE — Women from across San Diego are invited to spend March 12 at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe to explore ways to share God’s gift of encouragement to help others through life’s difficult times. The one-day retreat “Encouraging One Another” will run from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fellowship Center, 6225 Paseo Delicias. Breakfast, lunch and childcare are provided. Tickets are $30. Women can register online at villagechurch. org or on the church patio Sunday mornings. For more information contact Kathleen Nassi at kahini7@gmail.com or (619) 972-9526.

Original drama presentations followed by small group discussions will offer community and conversation that focuses on living a life of significance. Keynote speaker Nicole Franco, a film and television producer from Encinitas, will present “The Power of Your Story to Encourage Generations.” “This retreat is a time for women in our community to enjoy being with other women who follow a living God, who take the time to engage with one another and who are committed to learning practical ways to live a life of encouragement,” said the Rev. Jan Farley, associate pastor of the Village Church.

that this too will be a process.” Next, RSFA board member and member of the technology committee Phillip Wilkinson spoke who was in attendance at the town hall meeting. “The committee recommends that we respond to the feedback we received and step back from the current plan of pursuing 90-foot towers in the Ranch and consider additional alternatives

that may be better suited for the community,” Wilkinson said. According to Wilkinson, the committee will revisit the DAS system, look at utilizing shorter faux tree towers, and other technology to gain better cellular coverage. “In the meantime, we continue to push forward with our efforts to bring fiber optic broadband Internet service to every home in the Ranch,” he said.

from Canada to Mexico. Sterner said they didn’t expect to receive any Monarch butterflies this year, but staff was surprised when they started showing up in the aviary. Despite the short life spans of the butterflies, some will make it past the exhibit’s four-week long display. Last year was the first time that the park began working with a botanical garden in Tucson, Ariz., sending the remaining surviving butterflies there once the exhibit closed. They hope to do that again this year, said Stern-

Last spring through fall, there were late night northbound Friday and Saturday trains scheduled weekly. I’m hoping it’s the same this year too. Before your next big trip or night out, consider taking public transit to get to your destination. It’s fun, good for the environment, and your peace of mind.

of the Garden Club for a personal tour. As an organization, he said, once a week they are hosting a one-hour tour and Herrera-Mishler is the guide. While visitors look at the different landscapes and buildings, they’ll also hear about the future of Balboa Park, including the botanical building. “The tour is only an hour. And it’s our way of introducing people to our mission and to see what we’re trying to accomplish,” he said. The goal is to rediscover Balboa Park. Herre-

ra-Mishler also hopes that people will be encouraged to become short-term ambassadors and invite others to take part in the tour. “It’s really important for a young organization like ours to have an opportunity to just share what we’re doing with people,” he said. “Everybody loves Balboa Park.” Herrera-Mishler said that many people believe that Balboa Park could be better and that is precisely why the Balboa Park Conservancy was formed. “That’s what we are all about,” he said.

Zoos in the old days were about entertaining guests, now it’s to educate guests as to how wonderful animals are and the plight of animals and get people involved, Sterner explained. “Bugs are animals, too,” he said. “They really are. People don’t think of it that way, but we’re trying to promote that.” The Butterfly Jungle is open until April 10 and is included with the Park’s admission.

sheer neglect,” he said. RSFA Board member Fred Wasserman said that the “tree issue” is considered a serious one and they are looking at some rules and regulations in terms of unkempt properties. While discussions are taking place with the Committee on the Natural Environment, the topic will also be on the July agenda when the governing documents

property value loss if this particular cell tower project were to move forward. “In the 1920s, Rancho Santa Fe became one of the state’s first planned communities unified by a single architectural theme, the Spanish colonial revival. In 1928, the community adopted its protective covenant,” she said. Weller said that by referring to their community as the Covenant, it demonstrated a level of commitment that property owners undertake in the awareness of aesthetic and asset protection. In 1989, the Covenant received California historic landmark designation number of 982. And in 2004, an amendment was issued for its cultural landscape. “When historic properties are modified they may lose historic value and their historic designation. The 95-foot fake cell tower trees are completely disproportionate in size to anything else in the community and will have a negative impact on

committee convenes again. “That’s on our agenda, and also the co-committees from looking at this tree issue as well. We’re very con-

our cultural landscape,” said Weller, adding not to replace their signature eucalyptus trees with fake ones. Weller wanted those in attendance to know that the RSFA board has the responsibility of preserving, protecting and maintaining property values in addition to community aesthetics. According to Weller, she did not believe that the Association provided proper notice about the proposed tower sites. Weller went on to say that the placement of these towers would create a burden among those neighbors who have paid their dues and contributed to the community for a number of years. “Other communities fight to keep cell towers out. Our association seems to be fighting to bring them in,” Weller said. “The fox has been invited into the hen house.” S. Todd Neal told attendees how there were restrictions contained within their protected Covenant. He highlighted how their CC&Rs did not permit cell towers for the pro-

posed locations. Neal asked the board to follow the process that was required by their wireless facility’s master plan. Neal also added to include all technically feasible alternatives before any decisions were made. “Something this important cannot be decided in darkness,” Neal said. “This cell tower plan needs to be reworked. This is a fight for everyone’s rights. No one should have a cell tower next to their home when we have alternatives, and we cannot in good conscience try to solve a community problem by imposing a disproportionate and severe harm on a limited group of homeowners.” If the proposed plan pushed forward, Neal said, people were going to have to take action. He told the board that he wanted them to protect the interest of all Covenant members. “I know this board has worked hard to be fiscally responsible and transparent, but it would be a very fiscally irresponsible decision to invite a lawsuit by not abiding by your own CC&Rs,” Neal said.

Prose event. “We are very excited to be collaborating with the RSF Library Guild to offer a youth variation of the Rancho Days tradition, Petals and Prose. “For the first time ever, children will have the opportunity to select a book and create an artistic representation using items found in nature to capture the spirit of the book,” Browne said. The event is slated for

April 28 at the RSF Library. Browne said that advanced signup is required and children can pick up their books at the library located at the Children’s Library Desk. The RSF Garden Club is thrilled with the Petals and Prose partnership and looks forward to the blooming of young creative minds.
