R. Roger Rowe Robotic teams advance By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The R. Roger Rowe Robotic teams have a lot to be proud about. Recently, two of its teams made tournament strides at the Escondido Charter High School First Lego League (FLL) Qualifying Tournament. Team RSF Pi and Team RSF Solar Cyclers, formerly referred to as the MazeRunners, have secured a spot at the Southern California Championships at Legoland California Dec. 6.

“This is our fourth year in the robotics program and we’ve been fortunate enough each year to have teams, either one or two teams, advance to Legoland,” said John B. Galipault, Jr., science and robotics teacher at R. Roger Rowe School. “This year we have two teams out of our five teams that advanced.” Galipault called this a great accomplishment. It was also noted that the teams also walked away with their own set of recognitions.

Team RSF Pi was awarded with second place honors in Core Values. Judges acknowledged the team’s execution of an important FLL tenant: “Friendly competition and mutual gain are not separate goals and that helping one another is the foundation of teamwork.” Team RSF Solar Cyclers won Overall Second Place in the competition.

Fair board looks to partner with polo field lessee By Bianca Kaplanek

REGION — At the close of an Oct. 14 deadline, the city of San Diego received three bids in response to a request for proposals for a potential new tenant on a 120-acre site on the corner of Via de la Valle and El Camino Real best known as the polo fields. While the city did not release the names of the respondents, Steve Lewandowski, community relations director for the current tenant, the San Diego Polo Club, said that organization submitted a proposal.

The club has used the site for polo matches for nearly 30 years. According to a contract included in the agenda packet for the 22nd District Agricultural Association’s Nov. 10 meeting, it appears Surf Cup Sports may be seeking to take over the lease.

SFID customers miss water use target By Christina Macone-Greene

REGION — The Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) recently announced that in the month of October, its district did not meet the state mandated target of a 36 percent reduction. Instead, the decrease was calculated at 30 percent. According to Jessica Parks, public information officer at SFID, the area was impacted by the warmest October on record — 7.7 degrees above average. “This will, nonetheless, trigger the state to put the district on notice that its customers need to meet the 36 percent in the following months or face high penalties,” she said. “Since we

did not meet the target, we encourage our customers to re-double on their water conservation for November and the following months.” Parks went on to say that last week, Gov. Jerry Brown issued a new executive order concerning the drought in California. “This executive order keeps the existing drought proclamations in full force and calls for an extension of the restrictions until Oct. 31, 2016 should the drought conditions persist,” she said. “The previous order was set to expire in February 2016.” According to their records, the district successTURN TO WATER ON 15

Call for offers for historic RSF property on the horizon By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Three undeveloped parcels located in the historic area of Rancho Santa Fe Village have recently been listed for sale. Representing the property is senior vice president of Colliers International’s Urban Property Group and longtime resident of Rancho Santa Fe, Bill Shrader. According to Shrader, over 70 years ago the property was purchased by Russ Millar, a founding resident of the Ranch. Since that time, the property has been owned by the Millar Family. Located at the corner of El Tordo and La Granada, the three parcels calculate to 11,644 square feet. The parcels have been home to an array of nurseries, however, for the past five years, the property has remained vacant. “After 75 years, the family has decided to sell the property,” said Shrader, noting how Three undeveloped parcels located in the historic area of Rancho Santa Fe Village are listed for sale. Photo courtesy Colliers Interthey are marketing it toward po- national

tential investors. “It occupies a great corner and gives the potential owner the opportunity to create a new retail or office space in one of the most affluent communities on the West Coast,” he said. Within the short time the listed unpriced property has been on the market, Shrader has received substantial feedback. “There’s a lot of preliminary interest in the site. We are going to be running a ‘call for offers’ with offers due Dec. 11,” he said. “People are looking at it right now and see the value in this asset with the ability to create a legacy asset.” Shrader went on to say that the property offers flexibility for potential development as it is zoned for commercial and residential use, which is always the key and maximizes the value. While the Millar Family has owned the property for more than 75 years, Shrader said he is confident that the new buyer will own it for a long time, as well.

Alzheimer’s Association raises driver awareness By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The San Diego Alzheimer’s Association recently presented their lecture series about driver safety at the Rancho Santa Fe Library. Education and outreach manager Amy Abrams has assisted many family members who are at these crossroads. “Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia affect cognition in a number of key ways that relate to driving such as memory loss, changes in judgment and decision-making, disorientation to time and place, changes to one’s behavior and personality,” she said. Abrams also pointed out how physical symptoms can also emerge including changes to one’s vision, depth perception and hearing. “Some of the signs of unsafe driving include decreased confidence behind the wheel, driving at inappropriate speeds, an increase in minor accidents or scrapes/dings on the car, poor lane control, and becoming lost while driving to or from a familiar place,” she said.

Abrams also shared that when family members meet with a loved one for driving intervention, to remember that the safety of the driver, other loved ones, and the public is of vital importance. She also mentioned how coming into the discussion prepared is beneficial. Abrams went on to say how the San Diego Alzheimer’s Association is grateful with its RSF Library Guild partnership. She described the guild as generous in hosting this series. “We would not be able to offer educational programming throughout San Diego County without support such as theirs. It is invaluable to me to be able to reach people within their own communities, to hear from them directly about their concerns related to memory loss, and to have the opportunity to share information and answer questions,” she said. “All of us at the Alzheimer’s Association appreciate the library’s commitment to getting this important health information out to the residents of Rancho Santa Fe, and for welcoming other interested members of the San Diego community.”

ESCONDIDO — Students at Rincon Middle School went global on Tuesday. The middle schoolers took part in the Google’s Expeditions Pioneer Pilot Program. Using the Google Cardboard device, a cellphone encased in cardboard, the students use an app specifically designed for educational purposes to take them on a virtual tour of historical world landmarks. “Too often, kids don’t get the opportunity to go on field trips,” said Google Expeditions Program Manager Jen Holland. “Teachers can teleport their students to these places. Also, it brings these abstract lessons to life.” Google’s one-day program has chosen select schools in the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Singapore and Denmark. For RMS, though, the Escondido school was selected after sixth-grade humanities teacher Christine Hansen sent an application. She said it was a quick process — about six weeks from applying. RMS received word about two weeks ago and several Google employees came with the kits. The school was able to coax Google into supplying enough devices for each social studies/humanities classes so each of the 1,225 students could participate. “These are places that they’ll probably never to get to travel to, and we are bringing it to them,” Hansen said. “Using the cardboard with it, it makes it real and accessible.” The benefits, meanwhile, left Hansen, Principal Beth Crooks and Escondido Union School District Superintendent Dr. Luis Ibarra impressed. The trio said the virtual

field trips now make subject matter, such as Greek or Aztec ruins, tangible and not just words on a page. As for the students’ reaction, the first time a new location was introduced, a chorus of “ohhhs” and “ahhhs” filled the air. “This is exciting for us,” Ibarra said. “I see students fully engaged and they are going places around the world. It brings social studies to life. When you see this level of engagement, it brings a whole new level to it.” Working the device, meanwhile, is simple. A student places the cardboard, which has two eyeholes cut out to see the phone, over their face like glasses. From there, the teacher has a tablet, which is connected to a wireless Internet network, and can tap the destination. On the tablet’s screen, a series of smiley faces show the teacher all the students “on site.” In ad-

dition, the view is in 2-D and 3-D as Google’s team scoured the globe using 16 GoPro cameras to capture every angle possible of the destinations. “It’s a collection of a virtual reality pyramid,” Holland said. “We’ve built this, really, with the school and classroom in mind. For us, it really needed to be a seamless experience and we also didn’t want to rely on Internet constraints that schools may have.” In Kevin Hemingway’s sixth-grade class, where Hansen joined in assisting, students visited Aztec sites in Mexico such as Chichen Itza, the famous city of Teotihuacan and Teotenago Aztec ruins in New Mexico. Students also visited places such as the Coliseum in Rome, underwater adventures in the Galapagos Islands and Caribbean and even a trip to Mars. “It makes it feel like you are there and it’s a stronger reaction,” Hansen said.

As for the devices, RMS will not keep the ones used Tuesday, although Hansen, Crooks and Ibarra said they will discuss the availability with Google about securing the new tools in the coming months. “That would be so great about having just a class set for the schools because of the timeliness of it,” Crooks added. As for Google, the San Francisco-based tech company began developing what would evolve into Expeditions last year, Holland said. Coding began in January and the first pilot program started in several countries in March. In September, Google expanded the program leading to Hansen’s application. As for the future availability to schools, Holland said more data is needed before the company decides to allow sales to schools and districts. “We’ll really see later in the school year,” she added.

Firefighting doubletalk: More fodder for government distrust California Focus By Thomas D. Elias

any Californians now deeply distrust state government, and with good reason. Start with the Public Utilities Commission, proven to have decided multi-billion-dollar rate cases after lengthy private contacts and email exchanges between commissioners, their staff and utility executives. Then there’s the state Energy Commission, which handed tens of millions of dollars in “hydrogen highway” grants to a commission consultant who two years ago drew the map of where that money was to be spent, then resigned and formed a company which three months later applied for and got most of the available money. No member of either commission has been punished for this cronyism and favoritism. Nor have their procedures changed significantly. Now comes the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, caught in what’s doubletalk at a minimum on whether or not it has for years put violent criminals into situations where they could escape with ease if they chose. More than 1,400 such prisoners today work on firefighting crews sometimes overseen by officials of the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) rather than prison guards. The current type of “trusty” prisoner has produced an average of nine escapes per year over the last five years, all but one inmate escapee recaptured fairly quickly. The subject arises because last year’s Proposition 47 converted many drug violations and some other crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, cutting the num-

ber of non-violent criminals available for firefighting. The measure also allowed many former drug-related felons to resume normal lives unplagued by convictions that once put many jobs and other opportunities beyond their reach. Prison rules long stated that only non-violent criminals could be sent outside prison walls to fight fires. But no more. The change came to light after public opposition killed a corrections department plan to extend from five years to seven the remaining time allowable for sentences of criminals on firefighting crews. For sure, in this so-far extremely destructive fire season, work done by teams of convicts has been essential. But it turned out prison officials were untruthful for years about who was on those teams. Their website said no violent prisoner could serve on the crews. In pulling back their proposal this fall, department officials let slip the fact that they have long used inmates whose crimes are legally defined as violent. “Not all violent offenses represent violent behavior by the individual,” Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard told a reporter in a classic example of bureaucratic doubletalk. An example of what he meant, he said, was that robberies involving a mere threat of violence are different from those where victims are physically assaulted. Never mind psychological or emotional violence from being threatened, sometimes at gunpoint. It turned out the department’s website long said members of fire crews “must have no history of violent crimes.” This passage is now excised, and the department reported last month that 1,441 out of 3,732 inmates then in

fire camps were convicted of crimes legally defined as violent. Only doublethink could allow those convicts to be considered non-violent. Prison system spokesman Bill Sessa insists they may once have been violent, but aren’t anymore. “Having that on our website was a mistake, not an attempt to deceive,” he said. “We look at the very specific circumstances of every inmate before anyone is even allowed to be trained for this.” Even with the violent criminals, the number of convict firefighters is far down from previous levels of about 4,400, mostly because of a combination of Proposition 47 and prison realignment, which sees many inmates paroled or remanded to county jails in their home areas. Lowering the prison populace by tens of thousands over just two years created a manpower shortage. Nevertheless, said Sessa, “It would be ludicrous for us to put a dangerous inmate in that situation.” The prison system admitted to the Associated Press that inmate firefighters committed hundreds of assaults and batteries, indecent exposures and other crimes over the past 10 years, but later insisted all those incidents were in fire camps, not in surrounding communities or on active fire lines. Still, the corrections department’s “mistake” in leaving the “no violent criminals” pledge on its website for years after it was no longer in force renders its word unreliable. This makes at least three demonstrably untrustworthy major state agencies. Should anyone trust the others? Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com. For more Elias columns, visit californiafocus.net

San Diego International Airport sits on the edge of a city that sits on the edge of a continent. Surrounded by mountains, desert and the world’s largest ocean, is it any wonder San Diegans were among the first to master air travel? In November, we celebrate National Aviation History Month. As Board members of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, we’re proud of our region’s rich aviation heritage. From John Montgomery’s history-making flight over Otay Mesa to Glenn Hammond Curtiss’ pioneering seaplanes to T. Claude Ryan’s first-ever regular passenger airline, the San Diego region can lay claim to a who’s-who list of aviation pioneers. Then there was Charles Lindbergh, of course. While he wasn’t a San Diegan, his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, was built in San Diego and made numerous test flights over the region before embarking on its historic nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Lindbergh made the impossible, possible. Just like Montgomery, who

proved you could build and fly a heavier-than-air machine two decades before the Wright Brothers made their much more famous flight. Just like Curtiss proved you didn’t actually need a runway, or even dirt, to launch and land an airplane. Then there were the countless Naval aviators trained at North Island, and the fearless captains of industry who made San Diego the center of defense manufacturing in the runup to war. San Diego was literally built by people with their heads in the clouds. Today, San Diego International Airport also plays a key role in promoting the region’s prosperity and protecting its quality of life. In fact, SAN has emerged as one of the region’s biggest economic engines, generating more than $9 billion in total annual economic impact. The Airport Authority, in addition to operating SAN, plans for the region’s future air transportation needs. And it promotes public health and safety through responsible landuse planning around all 16 of the county’s airports,

including McClellan-Palomar Airport. SAN is committed to meeting the region’s current and future demand for air travel through ambitious and sustainable multiyear capital projects. The recently completed Green Build was an award-winning, $820 million improvement project designed to keep the airport working efficiently for the region into the foreseeable future. The next phase of improvements, which is collectively called the Airport Development Plan, will envision a replacement for Terminal 1 and further maximize efficient use of the 661-acre site. Here in our corner of the continent, air transportation is an integral part of our economy and way of life. And we believe that way of life should be inspiring, innovative and sustainable. Mark Twain said: “Explore. Dream. Discover.” Given our history, that could be our region’s motto. Lloyd Hubbs and Jim Desmond represent North County on the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority board.

Letters to the Editor Cost of doing the city business I have not fully participated in the many opportunities to give my input in the City Hall project, but after reading the staff report for the City Hall project budget, I have to give the following opinions: 1. Do we need all that is included in the proposed plan? I don’t think so. In 1959, when the city was born, the city business was carried out in one room in the old Del Mar Hotel, and the city business got done! 2. That location was followed by an office above

the 7-Eleven, then, where Rusty’s is today, and the city business got done. 3. Like all the property owned by the city today, I believe it was acquired, not because we needed it to do the city business, but because it was for sale — the Powerhouse Park, the Shores Elementary School site, the entire block of the existing Catholic Elementary school site, the Catholic Church site — did we really need them, or could the city business get done without them? 4. The council is considering the budget for the

new City Hall at a projected cost of $17.9 million! You and I are going to have to pay for it, and that is way more than I think we need to do the city business! 5. Do we really need a catering kitchen to handle up to 250 people — who and for what? 6. If you think, as I do, that $18 million is more than we need to spend for facilities to do the city business in, then let the City Council know at cityhall@ delmar.ca.us.

Helen Woodward’s Hope Telethon raises over $500,000 thing we get to do,” she said. Gercke extended a warmhearted thanks to all of their incredible donors and sponsors who came forward and offered items to encourage people to donate. “It’s so sweet that so many businesses that care and want to see the programs at Helen Woodward prosper, donate towards that event to make it exciting for people when they make their donations,” she said. “We really appreciate what the businesses do around here.”

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Helen Woodward Animal Center and its avid supporters have something to be excited about. Not only did their Nov. 8 Hope Telethon mark its milestone ringing in its tenth year, but their fundraising efforts raised over $500,000. Public relations manager Jessica Gercke for the Helen Woodward Animal Center described it as a record year. Last year, they raised over $400,000 so the jump this year was significant. Gercke attributes the leap to the vignette films they run, highlighting each of their programs. “What’s really lovely is that we get to personalize them,” she said. Gercke went on to say how one of their vignettes highlighted a special girl by the name of Nelly Nuno who adopted a dog and took part in their therapeutic riding program. “We were able to include Nelly when we did the film about adoption, our therapeutic riding and about how these programs provide health benefits to the people that we work with. And she has done very, very well,” Gercke said. Nuno, 11, was also interviewed on the telethon. “Nelly was really able to speak to our viewers

about how significant these programs are,” she said. Gercke added, “So I think things like that really touch people’s lives as they can see a real first-hand example of not just talking about these programs, but it’s actually seeing the people that it’s helping.” Over the years, the telethon has changed in special ways. One which stands out to Gercke is how they are able to share any new program launched at Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Gercke added that when people hear about Helen Woodward Animal Center they immediately conjure up the idea of an adoption center because that is what they are well known for. When Helen Woodward founded the adoption center in 1972, she then began to add educational programs and taught children about the humane treatment of animals. “Since 1972, we now have 12 different programs all dedicated towards the

mission of people helping animals and animals helping people,” Gercke said. “So one of the things that’s really exciting on the telethon is we get to go through each of those programs and show how those programs impact people’s lives.” Every single year, the Center has been sharing more exciting news about the different programs they developed such as pet encounter therapy, therapeutic riding to AniMeals. “Our AniMeals Pro-

gram, for instance, is a wonderful program that’s been around for quite a while and brings food and pet donations into the homes of homebound elderly and handicap people,” she said. Gercke shared that people have heard about their AniMeals Program and now they are helping other rescue organizations across the country start their own similar programs. “Helen Woodward is expanding our reach, and that’s a really thrilling

After 25 years Delicias closes its doors By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — After more than two decades, a staple in the Ranch has ended its chapter. Delicias restaurant officially closed its doors this month. A somber time for patrons, many also wonder if another restaurant will take its place. According to Bill Shrader, senior vice president of Colliers International, there will be another restaurant to occupy the 5,800-square-foot spot. Shrader represents the Millar Family who has owned the property for over 70 years. “Twenty-five years is a long time in the restaurant business. From an ownership standpoint we consider ourselves fortunate that we had Delicias for that time,” he said. “We are looking forward to the next restaurant that’s going to come in and hope we have another 25 year run.” Shrader went on to say that Delicias was owned by two families for its business duration. It was originally built by Paulo Parviz and he ran it along with his son-in-law Kevin Mabbut for the first 15 years. They worked diligently to create their brand. In 2006, Owen Perry purchased it. According to Shrader, Perry continued the tradition that was started by the original owners, while adding

his own flair. Shrader went on to say that it was essential to the Millar family to keep a restaurant in this locale. “We feel that it’s important for the Village to have multiple restaurant operations that appeal to everyone living in the greater community,” he said, adding how to date they have been in conversations and negotiations with several potential restaurant operators.

The goal is to not only serve residents of the Ranch, but for the restaurant to attract surrounding communities such as Delicias did. It’s Shrader’s hope that a new restaurant transaction could be put together in the next 30 to 60 days. “It could be delayed because of the upcoming holiday,” he said. “But we would definitely like to have a new restaurant opening its doors maybe in the early spring of 2016.”

THE TIME OF YEAR TO HAVE THE TIME OF HIS LIFE.

t took a herculean effort to import fresh water to San Diego County in the early 20th century. If past is prologue, we may soon find ourselves needing to channel that same spirit of ingenuity and ambition. Last week, I participated in a Colorado River Aqueduct System Inspection Trip, paid for by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and co-hosted by the San Diego County Water Authority. It was an eye-opening experience to learn firsthand how our region gets a large share of its water. The two-day excursion took me, along with about 30 other participants from San Diego and Orange Counties, from the Whitsett Intake Pumping Plant on Lake Havasu, where Colorado River water is first pumped up into the Aqueduct, to the Diamond Valley Lake in Hemet, which is the largest reservoir in the distribution system. Along the way, Aqueduct staff and water policy experts were available to answer questions and explain the dynamics and history of importing water to Southern California. It was hard not to be impressed by the Aqueduct — it’s a 242-mile technological wonder built in the middle of the desert during the Depression. And it still works. Construction on the Colorado River Aqueduct began in 1933, and began

its first water deliveries by 1941. The system was built with expandable capacity to adjust for future, larger deliveries. Tunnels, pipelines, siphons and open canals all interconnect across state lines, under mountains, and through barren valleys. The Aqueduct has a capacity of delivering 1.3 million acre feet of water annually, and now serves approximately 19 million residents throughout the Metropolitan Water District. The Aqueduct is a critical source of water for San Diego; the San Diego County Water Authority, which serves our region, imports roughly 80 percent of our regional water supply, of which the Colorado River makes up the largest share. We also depend on recycled water, groundwater, and local surface water for our regional supply. Under our historic drought conditions however, the need to diversify our water portfolio has grown, and innovative solutions will bring us closer to a sustainable water supply. The Carlsbad desalination plant will be online later this year, and interest in expanding the “purple pipe” network of recycled, non-potable water in North County has grown. The U.S. Marine Corps are currently evaluating the potential for a desal plant located at Camp Pendleton. Reclaiming more of our discharged treated wastewater from the Pacific Ocean is also now technologically possible. In 2014, the city of San Diego unanimously approved the indirect use of potable, purified wastewater for the city water supply. Direct use is also another tool in our solution tool belt. If North County is to secure its water supply through historic drought conditions, it will require us to embrace visionary and controversial solutions. Such steps would be following those of our forefathers, whose political will and sheer determination secured drinking water for North County generations ago.

In my original column (from 1997), I was whining, having heard the book was going healthy, doing away with some of its older selections and, horror of horrors, replacing butter in many recipes. I insisted this was a bad idea. It turns out they agree. The changes I first wrote about, had long ago been reconsidered and the cookbook I was raised on does, still, contain classic recipes with the classic ingredients. A man after my own heart, Becker wrote, “Butter is an essential, life-giving substance in our household. We call for it in our recipes all the time.

While collecting donations for orphaned pets at the Helen Woodward Animal Center, they are inviting the community to stop by with their children and friendly pets to take complimentary professional photos with Santa, be part of free opportunity drawings for gift cards, and enjoy some holiday savories. Helen Woodward’s orphaned pets are in need of dog and cat toys, as well as pet beds prior to placement in their forever homes. Executive director of Extraordinary Conceptions, Mario Caballero, was drawn to helping animals this holiday season through a special festive collection drive. His team members are all avid animal lovers. “I wanted to do this because we can help be the voice for animals in need,” Caballero said. “I have a strong desire to help animals because they depend on us.” Caballero who lost his beloved dog more than a year ago described her as sassy. For him, there is an unconditional love that a dog brings to the lives of others. “You can just feel it,” he said. Renee Resko, vice president of development at Helen Woodward Animal Center, shared how they are very grateful for their partnership with Extraordinary Conceptions.

f there ever was a perfect fit of a chefâ€™s style and a location, itâ€™s whatâ€™s happening in Leucadia at The Lanai. Chef-owner Doug Moric and his wife Cortlyn Jade Moric have taken over the former Haggoâ€™s Organic Taco location and his island fusion cuisine is right at home in this funky cool spot. I say island fusion because chef Moric has a combination of Hawaiian plate lunch, poke, and other cuisines like Vietnamese that all work together. Lanai translates into â€œpatioâ€? and thatâ€™s what we have here, an outdoor oasis surrounded by bamboo and connected to The Plant Lady, my go-to source for plants and fun accessories. Before we get into the food, itâ€™s worth knowing Dougâ€™s back-story and why this is such a great fit for him. He is a first generation American as his family emigrated from Croatia in the 1970s.

teurs in Arizona and owned a family restaurant called the Adriatic where Doug got his first experience in the culinary world. His first move when he left home was to Encinitas then to Kona, Hawaii. He fell in love with the amazing cuisines, culture and beauty of the Island and immersed himself in the restaurant scene there and was inspired by the likes of Chef Alan Wong and Roy Yamaguchi. Through this inspiration, he knew he wanted to

be a chef and devote his life to the profession. After that stint, Doug moved back to Encinitas after the resort he was working at, the Hualalai, began a long-term remodel. He became Executive Chef of Le Papagayo for six years on and off and was able to bring his love of island fusion cuisine to the restaurant and really enjoyed it. As the restaurant world goes, he was offered a job as executive chef of a new project on Princeville, Kauai at Hanalei Bay Resort but

the restaurant caught fire in 2011 and still has never opened. While in Kauai for that gig, he ended up working for a luxury vacation company, called Pure Kauai, as a private chef for the rich and famous and has some great stories from that job. Shortly after that, Doug was offered a personal chef position on a yacht for a retired scientist and traveled the South Pacific. He was given the amazing TURN TO LICK THE PLATE ON 18

Richard J. Powell November 5, 2015

Richard John Powell, fondly known as RJ to his peers, passed away peacefully at his home in Rancho Santa Fe, California with his wife Gloria and beloved Labrador MY at his side. The son of Otto and Anna Powell was born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas and was active in the Boy Scouts of America under the leadership of his father. He rose to the rank of Eagle Scout, and with his interest in aviation also became a member of the Civil Air Patrol and an Air Scout in affiliation with Trans World Airlines. Upon graduation from Paseo High School he entered Kansas State University as an architectural student and pledged membership with ATO fraternity. He was called up into the Army Infantry as a 2nd Lieutenant, and was transferred to the Army Air Corps where he was promoted to the rank of Captain. He served five years as an Air Force Flight Instructor during WWII, and maintained a lifelong passion for B-17s and B-29s. Following service to his country he met and married Edythe Mart of Kansas City in 1946. His love of aviation and expertise in the air led him to fly commercially as a pilot for Continental Airlines, a career he eventually left to return to K State and further his studies in engineering. He joined The Marley Company in 1949 as a draftsman. His talent and aptitude for the business world allowed him to absorb every aspect of the international industrial cooling tower industry. His

engineering logic, communication skills and accountant’s appreciation of the world of finance found him rising to the rank of President and CEO in 1964, and Chairman of the Board in 1975. He added 13 companies including Wylain to The Marley Company, and spurred its growth into the world market with offices and subsidiaries in North and South America, Canada, Mexico and Asia. He took the company public on the American Stock Exchange in 1967, and the New York Stock Exchange in 1971. Among his many accolades was being featured on the cover of Midwest Industry’s January 1970 edition because he represented the wave of the future and the flavor of young people and young ideas. He was named Mid America’s Industrialist of the ‘70s. Under his astute direction The Marley Company became a leader in environmental control, largely the dispersal of heat and water pollution. He was a pioneer in recognizing that recreation cannot exist where streams and rivers are contaminated, and embraced sensible environmentalism long before it became fashionable. In 1977 he received Financial World’s Chief Executive of the Year Award for those companies in the environmental control business. He has been a Director of both the First National Bank of Kansas City and Mid-America Truck Lines, and a past Trustee of Midwest Research Institute and Research Medical Center in Kansas City. Despite his brilliance and great success, he was a modest man who shunned personal attention and was reluctant to accept the fact that to all outsiders he was The Marley Company. He was an avid and accomplished golfer, scoring a hole in one at Indian Hills Country Club where he was a member during his residency in Kansas City. He was also affiliated with the Carriage Club there, and Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas. Following a 30 year career with Marley he retired in 1983, moved to

Tucson, Arizona, and continued to enjoy his time on the fairways of both Skyline and Tucson National Golf Clubs. He was a major donor to The Pima Air and Space Museum. He left the desert in 1987 and headed west to Rancho Santa Fe, California where he served on the Rancho Santa Fe Community Service District Board and was a member of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. It was in Rancho Santa Fe that he met former San Diego City Councilwoman and Deputy Mayor Gloria McColl. They married in the Rancho Santa Fe Village Church 2004. Together they moved to “the other ranch” in Roseburg, Oregon, enjoying 10 years of rural life along the banks of the beautiful North Umpqua River. They returned to Rancho Santa Fe in 2014 to be closer to family. He was preceded in death by his first wife Edi Powell Pierson of Tucson, Arizona, sister Jackie Craig of Texas, and youngest son Doug Powell of Del Mar, California. He leaves behind wife Gloria McColl Powell, son Greg Powell and his wife Barbara of Laramie, Wyoming, daughter-in-law Karen Powell of Del Mar and her daughter, his only grandchild, Skylar Powell of San Diego. Also missing him are Ian and Anna McColl of Encinitas, California, their two daughters Eden and Kirra, Corrinne McColl of San Marcos, California, and Gavin and Tina McColl of Montana, and their son Liam. The brilliant, unassuming and modest businessman, talented craftsman, acclaimed artist, master story teller, and true gentleman walked through life with the simple and calm self-assurance of a man who knew he had proven himself to himself, and he will be sorely missed by those he left behind. Private inurnment services will be held at Greenwood Memorial Park, and a celebration of his most remarkable life is planned for December 12th in Rancho Santa Fe. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to the Wounded Warrior Project or charity of your choice.

Sometimes this may be the only time all year the entire family gets together in one place.

Fairgrounds COO, deputy GM moving on By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — After more than 20 years at the Del Mar Fairgrounds — most of them as deputy general manager — Becky Bartling is leaving the seaside facility effective Dec. 1. “This is a very, very special place, and I don’t know that there’s anywhere else like it,” Bartling said at the Nov. 10 meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association when her departure was announced. “I’m definitely going to miss everybody, and I appreciate everything everybody’s done for me.” Bartling was hired in January 1994 as the first full-time box office manager. Her initial task was automating the antiquated ticket system. A few years later the 22nd DAA, which oversees the fairgrounds, created a haunted house now know as The Scream Zone. General Manager Tim Fennell said Bartling was instrumental in helping to get the event off the ground, earning her the nickname “The Queen of Scream.” In 2000 she was named event coordinator. Three years later she was promoted to deputy general manager and a few years ago was named chief operating officer. Bartling oversees interim event activities, with

four departments and the Del Mar Horsepark equestrian facility reporting directly to her. She is also responsible for administering the district’s master plan, supervising the senior environmental planner and booking all grandstand acts during the San Diego County Fair. Her memorable moments throughout her nearly 22 years include the facility being used as a wildfire evacuation site in 2003, 2007 and 2014. With the experience she recently helped the Napa County Fairgrounds Association during the Valley Fire in Northern California. Bartling also recalled the day the paid parking program started in 1994. “It was pouring rain and we didn’t have any ca-

mor about the situation.” Bartling had nothing but praise for everyone associated with the fairgrounds. “This is truly an amazing board (of directors),” she said. “Tim is an amazing, amazing man to work for. Our team — there’s nothing like it in the industry. “We have an amazing team that is dedicated and is talented and will do anything to make this facility successful, which you can see in our bottom line,” she added. “It’s not like most fairs’ bottom line.” The San Diego County Fair is consistently rated among the top 10 fairs in

the country. Board President Fred Schenk said Bartling is “highly regarded” in the industry and performs at “a level that is unmatched by anyone else.” “We appreciate what you’ve done for us,” he said. “I not only consider Becky a good friend,” Fennell said. “She’s been a great business partner, and I’m probably going to miss her more than anybody. I wish her all the best. I know she’s going to be successful wherever she goes. “We’re going to leave a light on for her in case she comes to her senses and changes her mind and decides to come back,” he added. “I will be back to enjoy the fair,” Bartling said. After working with the organizers of the inaugural KAABOO three-day music festival, which was held at the fairgrounds in September, Bartling was offered a position with that company. She said she turned that down for another job, which at press time she was unable to disclose. Her replacement has not been named.

Downtown offers shopping spree contest ENCINITAS — Of course, you don’t need a passport to come to Encinitas — or to shop in Encinitas. But it might help. Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association has organized the Passport Shopping Spree to ask shoppers to put their money where their hearts are this season –– in the community they love. Shift your shopping and you might win a $1,000 shopping spree by simply shopping at local stores and getting stamps in your passport along the way. “Keeping your money local contributes to easing the burden on the environment, boosting our standard of living, and increasing tax revenue that can be devoted to local neighborhood infrastructure improvement and sustainability, and even

creating jobs,” said Thora Guthrie, executive director of the Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association The Shopping Spree Passports can be picked up now at participating retail stores along S. Coast Hwy 101 in Encinitas, as well as in some locally-owned stores in the rest of Encinitas. Shoppers need to get 15 stamps to be entered to win the Shopping Spree. Most of the businesses do not even require a purchase in order to get your stamp. Stamped passports must be turned into the Encinitas 101 MainStreet office or any of the participating businesses by E101’s Third Thursday meeting, Dec. 17. The winner will be drawn and notified Dec. 18.

Vista Adobe in need of repairs before El Niño By Dean Patterson

VISTA — Discovery and exploration of North County leads to many hidden historical gems and the Rancho Minerva Adobe building, home to the Vista Historical Society and Museum, is no exception. Started back in 1911 when the area was a sparse Vista, pioneers Nick and Bessie Huntalas established an agricultural ranch on a 420-acre parcel when you could still buy vast tracks of land in the San Diego area — hard to imagine. The project culminated into a 3,400-squarefoot, two-story adobe ranch-style house and was completed in 1934. Excavation of the home’s basement/cellar provided the necessary building ingredients including soil and organic materials such as sand, silt, clay and straw combined with water. The materials were mixed to create a workable consistency similar to thick pancake batter, poured and precisely molded into wooden brick-shaped frameworks. These were then sun baked to fashion one of the earliest building materials throughout the earth, the adobe brick. The structural walls are 14 inches thick, the floorboards chopped and milled into wooden slats and architecturally, the building resembles a Spanish hacienda. Originally it had no running water or electricity. Cooking was done on a potbellied wood burning stove in the kitchen, which also delivered household heating, and illumination came from a fuel lantern. Access to the property back then was one way via a dirt road and the nearest neighbors lived an astonishing two miles away. Agricultural production in the home’s early years was labor-intensive, backbreaking work that produced beautiful and California renowned avocados, oranges, lemons and innumerable vegetables. Back then these crops fueled the local economy much as California agriculture does today. Visiting the site nowadays you’ll find a two-story abode with a sparkling white stucco exterior counterbalanced by a red tiled roof and well-manicured green lawn. Inside an impressive 18-foot-tall living room ceiling awaits your gaze with the majority of the surrounding rooms displayed amid memorabilia of early Vista heritage and its pioneer residents. Surprisingly enough the surrounding area is a much-changed landscape. Homes have sprouted up on all sides, the old dirt road is now a paved thoroughfare and in 2007, the Vista School District opened Rancho Minerva Middle School across the way. Over the years, the home has welcomed many visitors and hosted diverse

social happenings, and yet time has marched on taking with it no less than a toll on this aging historic beauty. “We discovered after one day of heavy rain this summer, that there are vital repairs that are urgently needed to maintain and restore the adobe,” Carolyn Chiriboga, president of the Historical Society said. “Therefore we have established a building restoration fund.”

With this year’s predicted El Niño fast approaching and heavy rains soon to strike some quick restoration is needed. Some fast track projects on the list of necessities include improved drainage in areas affected by water runoff pooling along the building. Windowpane and framework repairs are needed to prevent further damage, as is selected roof tile replacement, interior

walls need to be dry walled and lastly installation of storage shelving. Interested parties who wish to help with these vital repairs on this historical building can send donations to the Vista Historical Society P.O. Box 1032 Vista, CA 92085. Donations are tax deductible. For more information or to learn about volunteer opportunities, visit vistahistoricalsociety.com or call (760) 630-0444.

Maximizing your Social Security benefits The Social Security Act of 1935 ensured that hard working Americans would have income to support them during retirement. Over time, Social Security may have reduced worries about retirement to the point that many people don’t give their Social Security a second thought. With a little planning, you can receive more in Social Security benefits than expected as well as learn how to leverage other sources of income for retirement.

Inaugural Tip-Off Classic looks to become top tournament Staff report

CARLSBAD — The Coast News and Army and Navy Academy are teaming up to host a major highschool basketball tournament that looks to become a destination for top high school teams in years to come. The paper has signed up as title sponsor for The Coast News Tip-Off Classic, a 10-team varsity and junior varsity basketball tournament hosted at sites throughout North and Central San Diego County, Southwest Riverside and South Orange counties. The semifinals and finals of the varsity division will be held at the Duffield Sports Center, the academy’s state-ofthe-art facility. The tournament is the brainchild of Army-Navy assistant coach Sam Eshelman, who organized the inaugural tournament — formerly known as The Coastal Tip-Off Classic — as a high-level junior varsity basketball event while he was the head coach at Sage Creek High School. “We think we’ve put together a very competi-

tive year for the first season with varsity teams,” Eshelman said. “We also believe it is a very diverse field, and whereas some tournaments will only draw from one area, we have been able to attract teams from multiple sections and different regions.” The field is broken down into two five-team pools. In Pool A, the host school Army-Navy is joined by Dana Hills, La Costa Canyon, Rancho Bernardo and Temecula Valley high schools. Pool B includes Del Norte, which will host the JV division finals, El Camino, Scripps Ranch, San Diego Serra and Westview high schools. Each team will host two home games and play two road games. The two teams with the best records from each pool will advance to the semifinals held Dec. 10 and the semifinal winners will play for the championship Dec. 11. General admission to games is $5 and $3 for students. This marks The Coast News’ second foray into high school basketball in re-

cent months. The paper was a sponsor of the 3P Creme of the County, a high-level basketball showcase organized by one of the paper’s own, reporter Aaron Burgin Eshelman said the paper’s engagement in high school basketball is exciting and will fill a void of local basketball coverage. “I think it is tremendous that they are improving and increasing their presence in high school basketball, there is a need in this market for someone to step forward with in depth basketball coverage and promotion,” Eshelman said. As for the tournament, Eshelman envisions being able to attract top teams from each of the participating regions and make it a destination tournament. He says the beautiful location, proximity to neighboring regions, and Duffield’s gym are all big draws for teams and their fan bases. “We feel the location of Army Navy is key in being able to attract teams from the city, from our northern neighbors, and Duffield Sports Center is a top-flight

high school facility, so we feel it is a great destination for fans to come and watch a high school basketball game,” Eshelman said. “We’re also trying to get the Village of Carlsbad on board, because there are tons of places for fans to go have dinner and then come and watch a ball game, and I believe that is a big selling point. “We are trying to make it a true community event, and we feel it would provide fans an opportunity to see quality high school basketball, which has great entertainment value at a reasonable price,” Eshelman said. Top Players: Who are some of the players to watch at The Coast News Tip-Off Classic? We have your answers: Richard Polanco, 6-7 junior forward, Army-Navy: The flashy point forward is one of the top basketball recruits in the county, boasting offers from USC, Nevada and San Diego. Aziz Seck, 6-7 senior forward, Army Navy: The Northern Arizona signee is a freakish athlete and a formidable defender and rebounder. Ed Fenzi, 6-0 junior guard, Army Navy: Heady point guard locks down opposing point guards, knocks down shots from mid-range and deep. Parker Romo, 6-1 senior guard, Dana Hills: Smooth shooting guard and twoyear captain leads a much improved Dolphins team. TURN TO CLASSIC ON 18

No. 21 was always No. 1 among Chargers fans sports talk jay paris In a Chargers season that is so unforgettable, we remember the unbelievable. LaDainian Tomlinson, the spotlight is yours. Tomlinson, the Chargers’ icon, got his due last weekend. The reeling Chargers (2-8) played out the string against the Kansas City Chiefs (5-5) but Tomlinson was Sunday’s real draw. The shifty running back with moves, moxie and a mind-set focused on success is being honored. He becomes the 38th Charger entering the club’s Hall of Fame, but more impressively, just the fourth player to have his number retired. He joins other Chargers legends in the club’s version of Mt. Rushmore. It’s hard arguing about a carving that includes Lance Alworth, Dan Fouts, Junior Seau and now, Tomlinson. (A quick pause here: that celebrated Chargers tackle Ron Mix, the second AFL player behind Alworth inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, hasn’t had his No. 74 placed in the rafters should be an embarrassment to the Chargers’ organization.) Back to L.T. and that’s always a pleasant place to return. Tomlinson’s was sensational in San Diego, scoring touchdowns and setting records with the regularity of another stunning San Diego sunset. He was the focal point of a Chargers era in which they advanced to an AFC Championship Game and won five AFC West titles. The chant of “L.T., L.T., L.T.,” which once ricocheted Qualcomm Stadium remains a soundtrack, which thankfully won’t

fade away. That John Butler didn’t let Tomlinson get away is how his Chargers stay began. Butler, then the general manager, orchestrated a blockbuster trade on the eve of the 2001 draft, which brought Tomlinson’s spectacular talents to American’s Finest City. Butler’s swap had a lot of moving parts, but the main pieces ended up being Michael Vick to the Falcons and Tomlinson to the Chargers. The Chargers had their worst year in franchise history in 2000, but with L.T. aboard, the future got brighter. “It was the building of the organization, the foundation that was set in place early on,’’ he said. “When I got here, the previous year they were 1-15. But walking into the locker room, Junior Seau and Rodney Harrison are present. Guys that have played at a high level and had been leaders of teams.’’ Mr. Butler, rest in peace and thank you again for your keen football vision in adding Tomlinson to the mix. It was clear Tomlinson saw things on the field that others struggled to see on film. His anticipation of where the crease was going to be instead of where it was separated him from other backs. We know the phrase “stop on a dime” was around before L.T. But after he did it while cradling the football, he would jump into an open area, often not stopping until reaching the end zone. With Marty Schottenheimer as coach, the Chargers made no qualms about being a running team. While the league was morphing into the pass-happy product it is today, the Chargers played “Marty Ball” and why not with L.T. carrying the goods. Nothing trumped 2006, when Tomlinson had a season for the ages. He scored a record 31 touchdowns, while also setting the mark with 28 rushing scores. He led the league in rushing and he even added two touchdown passes. He was the NFL’s MVP as Mission Valley rocked on Sundays like TURN TO JAY PARIS ON 18

From locker room to dark room After an injury cut short Ty Schmitt’s pro football career, he turned to photography

By Tony Cagala

ENCINITAS — The more Ty Schmitt played football, the more serious he became about the sport — always in the weight room and constantly eating to put on pounds enough to compete with the bigger players. “It kind of takes over your life in a sense,” Schmitt said. “It defines you as a person.” Having started playing as a young child, Schmitt didn’t really know anything different from it. As he progressed through high school the game took over more of his focus. He’d had thoughts of playing linebacker for whichever college would have him. But, instead, Schmitt received several offers from colleges, including San Diego State University, to become a long snapper. Schmitt seized the opportunity to leave his hometown of Phoenix, Ariz., and come to San Diego. As an Aztec, Schmitt never missed a game and his skills as a long snapper were being touted as “irreplaceable.” Despite his skills, there were naysayers though, telling him he wouldn’t be drafted by an NFL team — that long snappers never get drafted. Those messages only served as motivation for him and come the 2008 NFL draft, Schmitt was chosen 23rd in the sixth round (189th overall). At that time, it was the highest a long snapper had

ever been selected in the draft and was the first time the Seahawks drafted that position in the organization’s history. It seemed all but certain for Schmitt that he was on the road to having a long, distinguished career in the league. However, during training camp, Schmitt suffered two herniated disks in his back, which would require multiple surgeries to fix. He spent his entire rookie season on the team’s injury reserve list. Even after his first rehab effort, Schmitt wasn’t able to gain the weight back he needed to perform in the league. The Seahawks would ultimately release him the following year.

He attempted one more comeback effort to play professionally in the sport he’d been a part of since he was 5 years old, but after another back surgery and tearing a pectoral muscle, he knew his window was gone. “After two more surgeries, I said, ‘this is a sign. This is it,’” he said. He never got to start or appear in an NFL game. That would leave Schmitt in a bad way, falling into a deep depression and a time period where everything just went wrong for him, he said. It was a loss of identity, he explained, the end of a relationship with his girlfriend at the time, and the

during the San Diego County Fair and possibly other events for an estimated annual cost of $75,000. The approval is contingent on Surf Cup “successfully acquiring a lease agreement” with San Diego, the contract states. The district has been looking for more parking opportunities for many years and has “always been interested in the possibility of leasing” the parcel, according to the document. With the permanent loss of 1,250 parking spaces beginning with the 2016 San Diego County Fair, “the search for additional parking has become even more critical.” The parking loss is a result of a legal settlement between the 22nd DAA and the California Coastal Commission, the adjacent cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach and the San Dieguito

likes of Argyle, Francis Ford Coppola, Ferrari Carano, Franciscan, Jackson Family, Joseph Phelps and a close-to-the-top favorite of mine, Laetitia Winery, makers of big-time Pinot Noir. Here’s the take on this remarkable winery. It is located in southern San Luis Obispo County overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Originally known for sparkling wines and still producing seven different styles, it is now known for its handcrafted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Their fruit comes from the Arroyo Grande AVA. French founders started planting at Laetitia in 1982. They found the land to be very similar to their homeland. The winemaker for these 600-plus acres of vineyard land is Eric Dickey along with his brother Dave. Buy the Laetitia Whole Cluster Pinot Noir ($42). Whole cluster is the process of fermentation when the bunch or cluster of grapes, including the stem, is used in alcoholic fermentation. It is old world, French Burgundy style Pinot Noir, at its best. At the festival, Bravo TV’s Top Chefs were out in full force, led by Rick Bayless,

Fairgrounds officials agreed to convert an overflow parking lot just south of the state-owned venue back to wetlands in exchange for continued use of a parcel east of Jimmy Durante Boulevard for year-round parking and temporary events such as the pumpkin patch and Christmas tree sales. When San Diego released the request for proposals, fairgrounds staff members and Director Russ Penniman toured the property but opted not to submit a bid. Instead they met with the owners of Surf Cup, which has been using the field for soccer for years. “The discussion centered around the 22nd DAA and Surf Cup Sports creating some kind of alliance that would provide parking for the San Diego County Fair, fair trailer storage and potentially parking for other large events” at the fair-

grounds, the contract states. Should San Diego award the lease to Surf Cup, the city would also have to approve the use of the property for parking. “District management believes this is the best arrangement to achieve needed parking inventory and at the same time not take on the responsibility of operating another facility,” according to the contract. The 22nd DAA is also considering Del Mar Horsepark, the equestrian facility across the street from the polo fields that it oversees, for additional parking. The RFPs are currently in the review process. Once that is complete, a recommendation will be made to the Smart Growth and Land Use Committee before a final lease agreement is authorized by the San Diego City Council. At press time calls to Surf Cup requesting comments were not returned.

Whalen went on to say that the website offers a wealth of information regarding guidelines, forms, and applications. Residents have access to downloadable information including voter registration information. Also available is material on regulatory codes, articles of incorporation, and bylaws. Whalen described segments of the website as a huge resource even for those wanting guidance for a possible “add on” to

Whalen is delighted in how the website offers user-friendly tools for residents and how it genuinely reflects the entire community.

it and is a perfect fit for the location and the community. The menu is broken up into sandwiches (Sandos) with six fabulous options, nine preparations of poke, plate lunch with pork, chicken or fish, a rice bowl of the day and a bunch of sides. We sampled the fish sandwich which is always based on a fresh catch and topped with pickled ginger slaw, pineapple lomi tomato, avocado and garlic aioli. It’s on a Sadie Rose bun and it’s really good. The loco-moco is one of their heartier dishes with a sizeable beef patty, two fried eggs, onion gravy and steamed rice. This could be the best hangover dish ever — not that we’re hung over! The plate lunch is solid as well with your choice of Kalua pork, chicken, chicken katsu, teriyaki chicken, or fish.

They come with white rice, mac salad, bok choy kimchee and are available with brown or fried rice. And while this entire menu is solid, the poke is the star of the show here. As I said, there are nine ways to do it, all served with rice and veggie chips. Trust me on this one; it’s good stuff and a sizeable portion. I’ll be back to try each and every one of them.

He described the session as a delving deep within himself to find what it was he truly wanted to do with his life. “I was open to everything, and that’s when I found landscape photography,” Schmitt said. “It just popped at me and I didn’t second guess it. I just trusted it. And ever since that day, I picked up a camera and just started traveling.” On Saturday, Schmitt had his works on exhibit to the public for the first time ever at Bliss 101 in Encinitas. As a self-described “mid-wife” to local artists, Helen Zeldes, owner of Bliss 101, said showcasing Schmitt’s work fit within her idea of helping to promote and give artists an opportunity to get their works out to the community. Zeldes had heard about Schmitt’s work through employees of hers. And one day, Schmitt came in with some of his photos to show. She said

she was just blown away by them. “Sharing local art helps people feel part of the community,” Zeldes said. Schmitt, a La Jolla resident, said it was crazy to see his new dream come into the physical world, especially as a self-taught photographer. That transition from football player to photographer wasn’t easy one, he tempered, but now he feels like a completely different person. “I knew through the NFL, what it took to be the best,” Schmitt said. “So I felt like I had a little jump. So once I started getting into photography I immediately started hanging out with the best … landscape photographers and learned from the best right away.” Schmitt said he’s always looking to do something better in his work. “You’re never completely satisfied with a photo,” he said. Bliss 101 is at 553 S. Coast Highway 101.

Odd Files By Chuck Shepherd The Patient Will See You Now Professional patients now help train would-be doctors, especially in the most delicate and dreaded of exams (gynecological and prostate), where a becalming technique improves outcomes. One “teaching associate” of Eastern Virginia Medical School told The Washington Post in September that the helpers act as “enthusiastic surgical dummies” to 65 medical colleges, guiding rookie fingers through the trainer’s own private parts. The prostate associate might helpfully caution, “No need for speed here,” especially since he will be bending over for as many as nine probings a day. Latest Religious Messages American Sharia: (1) U.S. parents have a right to home-school their kids, but are subject to varying degrees of regulation, with Texas the most lax, and one El Paso family will have a day before the Texas Supreme Court after one of its kids was reported declining to study because education was useless since he was waiting to be “raptured” (as described in the Bible’s Book of Revelation). (2) U.S. courts increasingly allow customers to sign away state and federal rights by agreeing to contracts providing private arbitration for disputes rather than access to courts — even if the contract explicitly requires only religious resolutions rather than secular, constitutional ones. A November New York Times investigation examined contracts ranging from Scientology’s requirement that fraud claims by members be resolved only by Scientologists — to various consumer issues from home repairs to real estate sales limited to dockets of Christian clerics. Leading Economic Indicators First-World Spending: According to estimates released by the National Retail Federation in September, 157 million Americans “planned to celebrate” Halloween, spending a total of $6.9 billion, of which $2.5 billion would be on costumes, including $350 million dressing up family pets. At a ceremony in Kabul in November, prominent Afghan developer Khalilullah Frozi signed a $95 million contract to build an 8,800unit township and was, according to a New York Times dispatch, toasted for his role in the country’s economic rebirth. However, at nightfall, Frozi headed back to prison to resume his 15-year sentence for defrauding Kabul Bank of nearly $1 billion in depositors’ money. Because he remains one of Afghanistan’s elite, arrangements were made for him to work days but spend his nights in prison (in comfortable quarters). Said one Western official, laconically, “(I)f you have stolen enough money, you can get away with it.”
