RANCHO SANTA FE — Animal rescue is something that pulls on heartstrings because it is a promise to look after those who need it. In Rancho Santa Fe, Laughing Pony Rescue, Inc., a nonprofit was established in 2009 to care for horses. “We rescue horses that have been abandoned or live in negative conditions, are bound for a slaughterhouse, or from a Premarin farm,” said Carol Ford, director of Laughing Pony

Standing ovations for Vivace at Community Concerts of RSF By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The sanctuary at The Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe was the perfect venue and kickoff for Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe’s (CCRSF) 16th season on Oct. 9.

The acoustics added musical depth for Vivace who sang arias and contemporary pieces. Classically trained in opera, the ensemble impressed concert goers with their robust vocal range. Through music, Vivace offered the audience a time to reflect both individ-

ually and collectively. Many who attended described the evening as a powerful and emotional journey through music. For those interested in the upcoming world-class season of CCRSF, please visit CCRSF.org or call (858) 248-0892.

Jose Aponte takes part in RSF Library patio dedication By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The new patio area of the RSF Library was framed with balloons and supporters who wanted to be part of its newtiered front patio dedication. The after-hours soiree was punctuated with “Music on the Patio” from saxophonist Adrienne Nims, words by the director of the San Diego County Library, Jose Aponte, and savories. Propped upon one of the outdoor tables was a plaque for all to see. The upcoming installation of this plaque in the patio area reads: Nan and Charles Werner Memorial Garden. Art Yayanos, the president of The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild welcomed guests and introduced Aponte. He went on to say how the library is indebted to him for all that he does. Aponte described the patio addition as significant to the library. “It’s very important that we build a sense of place that welcomes the world of the mind, ideas, creativity, and civics,” he said, adding how the lessons of civics and engagement are with neighbors. “And that’s what this patio represents. Ultimately that world of ideas and of engagement that is open to us every single time we walk into a library.” Aponte shared with the

crowd that this was his 40th year as a librarian. And 20 of those years he has served as a director. His mother was a librarian in Albany, New York. “So I’ve walk up the steps to a library a lot of years,” he said. For Aponte, a library is a destination where people can gather with ideas without a price tag. During the talk, Aponte reminisced about when he was choosing a college to attend and ultimately graduated from Bard. When he asked his mother where to start in picking one, she had a crystal clear answer for him. She said, “Joe, check out the library. When you get to the campus, you get in there and you look at the library because it’s the heart and mind of your community.” Aponte commended The Guild and the library for doing an extraordinary job. He went on to say that books, the idea of expression, and freedom of ideas is a sacred business. And the patio addition with Wi-Fi, he stated, was beautiful and knows folks will use it in their studies and enjoy it in their own world of ideas. “Thank you Art and to the guild members for your dedication, to the focus on this idea of altruism, giving beyond ourselves back to the community,” he said.

Critics oppose herbicide use, tree removal at Lake Hodges By Tony Cagala

ESCONDIDO — Tensions are rising in a Del Dios community over a project involving the removal of several trees and the spraying of herbicides around the Lake Hodges reservoir. A city advocate has had to step in to smooth “testy and personal” interactions between some residents and the nonprofit group leading the project known as the Oak Woodland Fire Fuel Reduction Project. The nonprofit Friends of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve has been in charge of the project, which has been removing eucalyptus trees and other non-native species from around the reservoir, a source of drinking water for the city of San Diego, residents in the Olivenhain Municipal Water District and the Santa Fe Irrigation District. Towards the end of September, residents and members of the nonprofit met at the southwest portion of the lake to mark a number of large remaining eucalyptus trees for removal. But the meeting became contentious when residents began questioning project organizers on the amount of trees that had come down already, the trees that would come down and the herbicides

being used near the water. Mike Kelly, a board member and conservation chair of the Friends of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, said the opposition first started when the big trees started being taken down. “This is the first of a whole series of projects like this — the first one that actually generated some opposition — and I think it’s

because these trees were in the view shed of people in the community and they didn’t like the fact that so many big trees were coming down,” Kelly said. New opposition arose recently over the use of herbicides, mainly glyphosate, a chemical found in weed killing products as Roundup, which is being sprayed to keep tree saplings from re-sprouting.

Michelle Heaton, a Del Dios resident since 1978, said she wasn’t in agreement with the nonprofit’s use of spraying glyphosate on the grounds, adding that they’ll have to spray it for several years to prevent saplings from sprouting. “This is not our land, we understand that,” Heaton said. “However, it’s been open to the public forever. This is a potable

source of drinking water. (They’re) using known carcinogenics next to and on the ground at the lake shore.” But according to Lan Wiborg, deputy director of long range planning with the city of San Diego, the city complies with state law regarding the use of herbicides near drinking water reservoirs. The city takes water

samples on a quarterly basis, Wiborg said, with the most recent testing being done on June 6. Samples are analyzed for glyphosate at the city’s water quality laboratory using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved methods, explained Wiborg. The laboratory detection limit is 10 parts per billion. Glyphosate, according to Wiborg, has not been detected in any of the samples, including the most recent sampling dates of Jan. 5, April 6, and June 6, of this year. “The most recent analysis revealed that no herbicides were detected,” said Wiborg. “The USEPA has set a maximum contaminant level for glyphosate in drinking water of 700 parts per billion. This level is judged to be protective of human health.” Around Hodges, the project is using two methods of applying the herbicides — the first is distributing glyphosate through a backpack sprayer and the other, by painting another herbicide called garlon onto tree stumps, a method known as “cut stump.” Lance Cottington has lived near the lake for about nine years.

RSF hears recent Haggen files motion to establish bid procedures broadband update By Steve Puterski

By Christina Macone-Greeene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Rancho Santa Fe Association manager Bill Overton brought members and board directors up to speed regarding the broadband and cell coverage in the Ranch. Overton described the broadband project as being in an exciting stage. Seven letters of intent following the board’s approval for a RFQP (request for qualifications and proposals) have been received. According to consultation recommendations, the RFQP was geared toward a public partnership model, which would be better suited for the Ranch. Generally, the solicitation process lasts 60 days. Considered a co-investment, this type of network model would provide a sharing of returns in where the provider would receive their amount while Rancho Santa Fe would receive any royalties. John Honker, president of Magellan Advisors, who submitted their comprehensive fiber optic feasibility study to the Association, decided not to take part in the “letter of intent” for bidding. “We discussed a month ago, that we might eventually discuss a waiver to allow Magellan to bid on their own,” Overton said. “They’ve decided not to bid. They would like to just continue as our consultant.” Overton went on to say

that this was Magellan’s idea and in no way did the Association pressure them into such a decision. “They cited they wanted to avoid any potential appearance of a conflict of interest,” he said. “They have a lot of industry relationships with major providers they want to protect.” Overton told the board that he thought it was good to continue working with Magellan as a consultant so that the relationship remains pure. “And quite frankly, we need them,” Overton said. “It’s so complicated that evaluating proposals to get the deal done is going to require some assistance. And I for one am very happy they’re still involved.” On the cellular coverage front, Overton said that staff was pedaling as fast is it could on improving reception. In the same breath, he admitted how they weren’t making progressive strides at the moment. “We turned over every rock, sporting every opportunity,” he said. It was Overton’s hope that staff comes back to the board and finance committee once they receive a solid recommendation which can drive this issue forward. Overton said he would like cell coverage to mirror how Magellan Advisors is handling the fiber optics project.

REGION — Shortly after Haggen Inc. disclosed it was closing more than 100 grocery stores, the company announced last Tuesday in a press release it has filed motions seeking the approval of a bankruptcy court to establish procedures for ongoing sales. The motions present global bidding procedures, stalking horse package bid procedures and a schedule of stores being sold. Of those Gelson’s Markets stores included are one in Carlsbad on El Camino Real and the Del Mar location on Via De La Valle. In total, eight Gelson’s Markets and 26 Smart & Final stores in California including one in Carlsbad and one in Las Vegas are up for sale. Haggen purchased 146 Albertsons and Safeway stores earlier this year. The stores were up for sale because Federal Trade Commission ordered them to be sold as part of the merger between the two grocery giants. According to analysts, the buyout could have cost Haggen $1.4 billion for the 146 Albertsons, Vons, Pavilions and Safeway grocery stores. Previous to that buyout, Haggen operated 18 stores in Oregon and Washington. The grocery chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection earlier this month. The chain will now fo-

cus around 37 stores in the northwest. Haggen is seeking a court hearing on Oct. 19, 2015, to hear the company’s proposal. Parties interested in participating in the sale of stores need to submit an indication of interest by no later than Oct. 26. The procedures provide for a deadline for submission of bids to purchase some or all of the assets by 2 p.m. PST Nov. 2, with an auction scheduled Nov. 9. The hearing to consider the results of the auction will be held Nov. 24. In the event no auction is conducted for a stalking horse package or if one of the stalking horse bidders

is successful bidder for its package after the auction and the contracts identified in the original bid have not changed, a sale hearing for those stores will be held Nov. 13 instead. All dates are tentative and subject to bankruptcy court approval. Haggen previously requested approval to begin going out of business sales in the identified non-core locations and will exit operations during the last weeks of November. The sale process has been designed to be fair and transparent in order to derive the highest bid for the stores and to maximize value for the estate and creditors in an orderly

process. Haggen also filed motions to approve two separate asset purchase agreements for stalking horse bidder packages. Gelson’s Markets signed an asset purchase agreement for eight stores in California and Smart & Final LLC signed an agreement for 28 stores in California and Nevada. Both agreements are subject to bankruptcy court approval. Sagent Advisors, LLC has been retained to coordinate the sale process for Haggen. Parties interested in learning more about the process can contact Sagent at (212) 904-9400.

UC still deciding who it will belong to California Focus By Thomas D. Elias

he question of who the University of California will be serving when it reaches the third decade of this 21st Century remains one the elite system’s administrators year after year refuse to confront. Will UC and its 10 campuses belong primarily to the California students they were built to serve? Or will they become the de facto property of wealthy out-ofstate and foreign parents and governments eager to send their children to what has ranked for 75 years as the world’s leading public university system? One thing for sure, UC today is more dependent than ever on the $24,700 extra each out-of-state student pays in tuition and fees above what any in-state resident pays. Another thing for certain: California high school graduates have become less and less welcome over the last 15 years as the state’s politicians reduced the flow of tax money to the university. To maintain academic standards and retain most of the faculty who have won its 51 Nobel prizes, UC needs big money. Hence the impulse to replace California tax dollars with out-of-state and foreign student tuition and fees. How strong is that impulse today? Final university enrollment figures for this fall are not yet official, but last spring, fully 45 percent of admission offers at UC Berkeley went to non-Californians. Out-of-staters got 42 percent of admission offers from UCLA, 39 percent at UC San

Diego and 35 percent at UC Davis, to name some of the system’s most-desired campuses. It’s not yet certain how many took up those offers. But the result is that more and more California parents and kids are coming to believe that what was supposed to be their university has gotten beyond reach of most. It’s not just the push for out-of-state tuition money, but also the increases for instate tuition and fees, which tripled in the last 12 years to $9,139 this fall. Costs of

Riverside and Merced, both smog- and heat-ridden locales where few out-of-staters want to spend several years. Two years ago, Merced had just 1.2 per cent non-Californians, Riverside 6.9 percent. The logic also ends when you consider there are many more Californians today than earlier, so admitting roughly the same number as 20 years ago means thousands of excellent, deserving students will be left out. The influx of foreign students that’s a big part of this picture has had other effects,

Will UC and its 10 campuses belong primarily to the California students they were built to serve? books, room and board are added to that. Yes, UC offers plenty of scholarships to California kids, but full rides are rare for anyone who can’t dunk a basketball or tackle a swift 220-pound running back. So UC today is almost as expensive for in-state residents as top private colleges were a mere 10 to 15 years ago. Inflation does not account for nearly all of this. Recall where UC came from: Back in the early 1960s, the state’s education master plan stipulated that everyone in the top one-eighth of a California high school class would be offered a slot on at least one UC campus. That policy has been tweaked a bit over the years, but campus officials like to point out that “UC has not reduced the number of Californians it admits.” True, anyone in the top 9 percent of a California high school class today will be admitted, but many are offered slots on low-demand campuses like

both positive and negative. It certainly increased diversity on the most popular campuses. But some critics also say it has helped fuel a documentable rise of corrosive anti-Semitic incidents and rhetoric on campus, both from students and faculty. Another effect of high tuition and out-of-state enrollment is a greater emphasis on attending much-more-economical community colleges, from which thousands transfer to UC each year. The bottom line: It’s no wonder that for many parents of California high schoolers, the biggest worry today is not drought or home prices or the possible onslaught of floods this winter, but whether their children will be able to attend the elite universities which once were a matter of course for the best students.

With the fall semester back in full swing, students use every opportunity they have to take a break from studying or working to have fun with their friends. But a night of fun could easily go bad if they are caught hosting parties with underage drinking. Social host ordinances, in effect throughout San Diego County, hold party hosts responsible for providing a place, such as a house or other property, where minors have access to alcohol. Violations can include being cited or arrested, fined up to $1,000, and/or being billed for the cost of any law enforcement services. Party hosts of any age can be cited, regardless of whether or not the property owner is home. In fact, of the more than 400 citations written countywide between 2008 and 2014, the vast majority (69 percent) were issued to young adults (aged 18-25), and another 15 percent were written to juveniles under the age of 18. Such laws are important to help prevent underage drinking because minors often get their alcohol from older friends or family members. A recent study by the University of Maryland School of Public Health found that out of 755 current or recent college students of drinking age (22 to 26) sur-

veyed, nearly 85 percent had provided alcohol to minors at least once. And, fear of legal consequences was a primary reason given for not providing alcohol to minors. So what’s the big deal? First, allowing underage drinking in your home is both unsafe and against the law. In addition, many young adults believe that house parties are a safe drinking environment as long as they don’t allow people to drink and drive. But this just isn’t the case. Data from 92 social host citations between January 2011 and December 2013 from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department shows more than 90 percent of social host violations were initiated by a disturbance call from nearby residents impacted by noise, fights or other disturbances. In many of these cases, parties were out of hand. Half of the time, deputies found guests severely intoxicated or unable to care for themselves — and 91 percent of those requiring medical attention were minors. In addition, an average of 46 minors (ages 14 to 20) are taken to emergency rooms in San Diego County each year because of alcohol poisoning alone, according to admission data from 2008 to

2013. To avoid suffering the consequences from social host violations, know your legal responsibilities when having a party at your home: verify the age of all guests, control access to alcohol to those under 21 and supervise minors. With so many other things to worry about — exams, jobs, extra-curricular activities, etc. — why get involved in providing an environment for underage drinking, and take the risk of getting in trouble with the law?

Association president speaks candidly about issues in the Ranch By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — During a recent update to members and the board, Rancho Santa Fe Association board president Ann Boon was candid about current issues in the Covenant. She told those in attendance when she began writing notes for her delivery, she wondered if she or anyone could ever lead the community to real progress. “As president, I strive on every project we’ve worked on to conduct the process where all stakeholders can have a say in the process to contribute to the outcome,” she said. Her objective in every single proposed project, she said, was to build a consensus within the community along with board member votes. However, this intent has encountered hindrances. Nevertheless, as projects go through their committee process issues have changed the original course. Boon shared, “Just when progress seems to be happening, one or two individuals or a small group seem to hold the process up so that their particular interest can be satisfied.” She added, “Staff members are reluctant to champion a particular course of action forcefully because they’ve learned that arrows can come soaring at them from any part of the community.” One project that is moving forward is high speed

Internet. Boon wanted everyone to know that following 15 months of working on a “fiber to the home” project, the Association has now issued a bid through a Request for Qualifications and Proposals. It’s estimated that proposals will be completed by Nov. 1, and after this, the tech committee will review them. Boon said if a proposal(s) meets their objectives it will then be funneled to the finance committee and board. “I’d like to say that we can have a contract by the end of December, but unforeseen hurdles could pop

up, or one disgruntled member could raise his hand protesting that we did not study this enough,” she said, adding how she was hesitant to deem a secure date. However, with the hesitancy, Boon said this particular project was moving swiftly compared to others due to their capable consultants. As far as the outlook on cell coverage, although efforts have been in place, improvement in this area she described as dismal at this point. While staff and board members have dedicated years and hours communicating with providers,

response time has lapsed before engaging in them once again. “But this board tried to hire a consultant as many HOAs and municipalities do who can negotiate with all the providers as well as the county and the property owners to add antennas in order to improve and expand our cell coverage. The consultant’s contract would provide for revenue sharing with the association,” she said. “So we would not only have better coverage, but revenue we do not currently have.” Boon said she would like to convey that they are

Association board agrees to possible amendment Boon addresses By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — During the latest Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting, Director Fred Wasserman presented an in-depth overview in why amending some of the Associations bylaws and articles of incorporation should be up for consideration. Wasserman made it perfectly clear that no amendments were being approved on that day. What was up for consideration was approving the process. And the board did. While Wasserman serves as the chair in the Governing Documents Committee, other members with legal background include Judge David Moon, John Blakely, Mike Licosati, Kris Charton, and Allen Finkelson. One of the leading efforts behind this development is to make changes to the bylaws and articles which would allow for a better and fairer voting system in the Covenant. According to Wasserman, owners of building sites will be entitled to two votes; and, condominium

units paying the Association’s annual dues shall be entitled to voting rights. “For example, right now there’s roughly 790 people that have two votes. There’s 500 plus people that only have one vote,” he said. “Some of those 500 people actually are entitled to two votes. They were never reclassified.” Wasserman then noted that there are 425 individuals who are not registered in the Association’s voting system. “When we’re through here, we’re proposing that everybody who owns a piece of property here, and whose deed we can verify ownership, will have two votes,” he said. And if any changes in a household take place such as divorce, the proposed amendment will keep that two vote rule. Losing a vote in cases such as this Wasserman called absurd. “The intent is that the voting goes with the property,” he said. Members of the Covenant can expect a mailing of these “projected revi-

sions” by the middle of October. A 45-day window for review and feedback will also be offered. During this timeframe, a town hall meeting has been slated for Oct. 22 at 6:30 pm. Wasserman also pointed out why condominium owners were part of this proposed voting amendment, describing it as another issue. “You condominium people pay association dues. Some of the condos in here are $2 million. I mean why should condo owners be discriminated against?” Wasserman told the board and members. “We can’t find any reason or any rationale for that.” So the proposal, Wasserman said, would be that condo owners receive the same voting privileges as other homeowners inside the Covenant. Wasserman also wanted everyone to know that any bylaw changes being made would be done so they are consistent with the Davis-Stirling Act. “The Davis-Stirling Act is the law that regulates

the operation of Homeowner Associations,” he said. “So these will be technical changes for the most part to make our bylaws comport with the law.” The 45-day timeframe and town hall meeting is an opportunity to exchange ideas. “Once all the comments are in, then we will have an opportunity to look at those comments,” he said. “Then the committee itself will sit down, take the input from the community, and then make a recommendation to the board,” he said.” Following this review process, it’s anticipated that any amendment changes will be presented at the Association’s Dec. 3 meeting and then funneled to a Covenant member vote in 2016. Wasserman said any final amendment changes following the community wide vote would be effective in July 2016. To keep apprised of current meetings regarding this issue, contact the Association for updated times and dates.

Covenant Club in president’s message By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — During a comprehensive board president’s message, Ann Boon touched upon many subjects, including the Covenant Club, which has become a fueled topic in the Ranch. She shared how different groups have become pitted against one another. “Some people are so upset they’ve started new groups. Well, some of that is good. We invited input from all stakeholders, and so we do welcome all input,” she said. “However, what isn’t so good is that so much fight is being waged to defeat a project even before all the facts and numbers are in.” Boon went on to say that fellow board directors Jerry Yahr and Heather Slosar have dedicated numerous hours to this study, an architect has been paid, so time is needed for this phase to be completed. This next stretch is to design the

proper facility for the Covenant. “The space we have is ‘the campus,’ as some people have begun calling it, which belongs to every single member of the Rancho Santa Fe Association and not just to members of the existing golf and tennis clubs,” she said. “The community voted to spend the money for the design and planning phase. The financial models cannot be built until that phase has been completed and until all sources and funds have been accurately researched.” The area of “the campus” is within the property scope of the golf and tennis club. Once additional information is available, Boon said, the material would be up for public review and debate. “I can only ask that TURN TO BOON ON 15

Rancho Santa Fe Association’s controller receives promotion to finance and operations manager By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At the start of the meeting, Association Manager Bill Overton announced

that its current controller, ations. May’s new title is FiDon May has been promoted but will still be oversee- nance and Operations Maning the finance department ager. “Don’s doing a great and taking part in the oper-

job,” said Overton, adding how they are currently in the interviewing stages for a new controller. “We hope to have a new controller in place in the next two to three weeks.” Overton said that the financials from last month were in good shape overall. Because the Association was on budget, there was no need to offer a variance report. “We had a discrepancy with how we were reporting golf dues deferred revenue that we discovered that has to do with our accounting program,” said Overton,

adding how double entries were being made due to the software. Overton said this would be corrected. “No money is missing. Nothing is wrong. It’s just that we need to get the computer talking to us in the right manner,” Overton said. The Association manager also wanted everyone to know that they have begun the audit process. While it is roughly a couple weeks behind schedule, he said, a finance committee meeting is slated for Oct. 14 at 8 a.m. “Immediately thereafter, we will have a special board meeting so the auditor can meet with the finance committee. The subset of the finance committee is the audit group and the board,” he said. While Overton said that it was suggested he should have one meeting, he decided on two due to the subset of the finance committee who may want

to meet with the auditor privately. Following this, all will reconvene with the full board for a final presentation of the audit, he said. Overton then broached the subject of streets conditions. “County roads maintenance, you know, shouldn’t have had to be brought to staff’s attention that the roads in Rancho Santa Fe are in bad shape, but I was reminded of that,” Overton said. “Recently, we have created a kind of internal task force to address that with the county and get better service.” Overton also reported that the Association’s communication manager, Christy Whalen, intendeds to launch their new website within the next month. “We’re really excited about the E-Blast capabilities so that we can email everybody with updates, et cetera, going forward,” Overton said.

hat tidal wave of wedding plans I saw looming last May, as my daughter’s wedding day approached, has hit the shore. No fatalities have been reported. After a couple of weeks of recovery time, I am still dog-paddling out of the rip tide, but my water wings are still inflated and I am smiling. Like every wedding, there were a zillion glitches, but none large enough to stop us or even make us blush. Basically, I am stone, cold broke, but inside I will be beaming for some time. My daughter’s wedding was a six-month-long version of the last party I helped her throw. By that, I mean that my creative child has no problem channeling Martha Stewart and putting in days and days of work and preparation to achieve a few hours of the vision she has in her head. She really needs a staff. Instead she has me. Nevertheless, the result was all that, to the 10th power. To my great astonishment, it all worked. OK, 90 percent of it worked and it required many gracious, ready-tohelp friends and relatives. But it was wonderful. She was the most beautiful creature I have

ever seen as she walked down that aisle and I do not remember ever seeing her as happy. That right there made all the madness worth it. The rest of the event was great fun, and all my favorite people had a good time, making wonderful memories. In hindsight, it felt like an out-of-body experience. Sensory overload, if you will. I still have decorations in the backyard that I may never take down. I have décor we didn’t even manage to get put up. We have lengths of faux ivy and flowers, tulle, aisle baskets, teapots, tea cups, leftover candy, leftover champagne and leftover cupcakes. The way I was raised, that makes you the perfect host, so all is well. Everybody danced with some abandon and there were laughter, hugs and toasts to touch the heart. In spite of my desperately wrong directions from home to wedding to reception, everyone found us. While it was a rather warm day, it did not rain, shade could be found and no one dissolved. Coming back to reality is a tad bit boring, but I am very ready for boring and will enjoy boring and predictable for some time to come. My daughter is already planning her first anniversary party, just so she can wear her wedding dress again. Jean Gillette is a freelance writer with a cupcake hangover.

You have a great mission statement that reads, â€œConservation Beyond Boundaries, Beyond Politics, Beyond Limits, But Not Beyond Reach.â€? Tell me about ECOLIFEÂŽ and its primary purpose and who it benefits. ECOLIFEÂŽâ€™s mission is to integrate adaptable solutions to global habitat imbalance by actively strengthening and preserving the vital connection between people, wildlife and the ecosystems on which we all rely. As critical imbalances around the world endanger delicate cultures and resources, we stand committed to actively providing

simple, creative and culturally adaptive solutions to correct them. Weâ€™ve seen many conservation efforts become ineffective by becoming confrontational. But we understand that our supporters want to make a difference thatâ€™s true and lasting. Thatâ€™s why, as ambassadors for both natural and human cultures, we are unwaveringly dedicated to adaptable and integrative sustainability by way of education, and to helping leave the tiniest footprints as we make greater strides toward healthier natural communities. Our two main programs are aquaponics (at home and in the classroom), a sustainable agriculture technique, and fuel-efficient cook stoves. In the past three years, we have supported over 400 classrooms, reaching thousands of students. We also hold monthly workshops about using aquaponics at home. Since this gardening technique uses 90 percent less land and water than traditional farming, it is growing in popularity throughout our parched state. Cook stoves in Mexico and Uganda: Making dinner shouldnâ€™t be fatal, but millions of people in the developing world die each year from illnesses connected to inhaling smoke from open cooking fires in their homes. For every $150 donated toward our stove program, ECOLIFEÂŽ builds and installs a highly efficient wood burning stove and enters the stove into a health and monitoring system.

ECOLIFEÂŽ works: The Patsari stove is 60 percent more fuel-efficient than cooking over the traditional open fire and reduces respiratory ailments by at least 35 percent by decreasing hazardous smoke emissions. The fuel efficiency of the stove means that 60 percent less wood is needed and, consequently, fewer trees are destroyed. You have some serious culinary talent participating in this event. Tell me about who you have this year and their affinity for ECOLIFEÂŽ Weâ€™re extremely fortunate to have a close relationship with Trey Foshee from Georgeâ€™s at the Cove and Galaxy Taco. In 2013 we partnered with him to create a team of chefs to prepare the meal for our gala and it has become a tradition ever since. Every year we have grown in attendance so we have added chefs. Both Trey and Jason Knibb from NINE-TEN have been a part of our lineup all three years. Matt Gordon from Urban Solace, Solace & The Moonlight Lounge and Sea & Smoke, joined the team last year and was happy to help again this year.

Potential Olympic hopefuls compete in world junior surf contest

It’ll be a busy offseason for Preller and Padres

sports talk

By Tony Cagala

OCEANSIDE — Sunday marked the opening of the Vissla/ISA World Junior Surfing Championships — and this year’s event in Oceanside is potentially historic — historic, because the young surfers competing in this U18/U16 event might just become the first class ever to compete for Olympic gold in 2020. Last month, the International Olympic Committee selected surfing to be on the short list of modern sports considered for the 2020 summer Games in Tokyo. The IOC is expected to make a final decision next August. The opening ceremony on Sunday did have an Olympics-like feel to it, down to the parade of nations, which isn’t too surprising given that the ISA, for the past 20 years, has been working to have surfing become a part of the Olympics. “This is like the Olympics,” Fernando Aguerre, president of the ISA, said of the event. The contest, which is boasted as the largest junior championship in the

ty to all athletes,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re from a rich country or a poor country, big country, small country, which religion or which color of your skin…for us that is irrelevant. The ocean doesn’t make differences — (it) doesn’t discriminate and we don’t discriminate.” Team USA riders Tia Blanco and Colt Ward said surfing for their country is a great honor, especially being able to do it in front of their home crowd. “It’s very prestigious for us to be on this team and representing our country,” said Blanco, who lives in Oceanside. And the camaraderie between all of the surfers from around the world is “really nice,” she said.

“It’s a really fun experience.” As for the opportunity to surf for their country in the Olympics in the future, Blanco and Ward said they’d love for it to happen. “It’d be a dream,” Blanco said. “I think the sport has a universality that is practiced in one of the few places left that is open to everybody — there are private beaches,” Aguerre said, “but there’s no private ocean. The ocean belongs to all of us and having the ocean available, we should use it. We should take advantage of it, and then we should look after it. And that’s what we surfers do.” The contest runs through Oct. 18 at the Oceanside Pier.

presence, somebody that has energy, somebody that can get our players to play at a high level,’’ Preller said of what he needs in a skipper. “Someone the players will respect and want to play for. Someone the organization can rally around and can establish a culture. Those are factors.’’ That job description is a given. But reading between the tealeaves reveals the bunch Preller collected didn’t have much want-to. It says his players under performed. It says his players didn’t appreciate their superiors and their performances reflected just that. That doesn’t shine a positive light on Preller as he didn’t consider chemistry. Or if he did, his beaker was a bit askew. Yes he acquired wellknown players; no he didn’t build a team. So the manager’s role will include building camaraderie as much as a pitching staff — of constructing a winning atmosphere as much as assembling a lineup. If Preller decides continuity is the way to go, Cardiff’s Dave Roberts is ready. He played in the majors at the highest level, he’s coached first base and he’s been a bench coach for the last two Padres managers. Roberts is a classic overachiever — drafted lower than Johnny Manziel — and would demand his players put out inside of acting like they are being put upon. Or Preller could go for some proven fire and can anyone match what’s in Ozzie Guillen’s belly? The Venezulean would be a great fit, speaking the language of many of the Latin American players. But his words, no matter the language, would be delivered with conviction. Hire one of those two guys. Then get busy moving parts or talking the owners out of more dough. It’s encouraging the Padres had a record $108 million payroll, but that remains chump change in the NL West. It’s inherent that Preller trades his way back to contention, with very little in the minor-league pipeline. Preller has to decide how to form a playoff team when four players will gobble up $66 million: Craig Kimbrel, Matt Kemp, James Shields and Melvin Upton Jr. There’s much to do for the All-Star season in 2016. Preller has to continue to shoot for the moon, even if his first launch fizzled on the pad.

The Padres are done and no, this wasn’t written in mid-summer. Although it could have been and that’s the biggest disappointment in a season with many. After suffering through insufferable baseball for four years, 2015 was to be different. General manager A.J. Preller tore apart the Padres’ roster and presented a new-and-improved version. Nearly everyone bought it but there was never a payoff. Instead the season to remember morphed into more of the same. The Padres finished underwater for the fifth straight year and for the ninth, the playoffs are held without them. We give Preller high marks for being bold. In many ways, his aggressive approach worked as attendance was up, ratings were improved and the Padres were a slight diversion from 24/7 Chargers stadium talk. But the chatter now is how to fix this mess? First up is naming a manager. Following his swing-and-miss in the grand interim manager Pat Murphy experiment, Preller needs to hit a home run. Preller knows the golden rule of being a GM: you seldom get two shots at a full-time manager. If Preller fails on this one, there’s no guarantee he’ll be around to hire the replacement. There was little news in Preller’s year-end briefing. He’s determined to select someone who’ll bring a winner to San Diego. In other headlines, there was another spiffy sunset outside Preller’s home near Encinitas’ Moonlight Beach. But Preller can’t dilly or dally in naming Murphy’s successor. With so many teams seeking a new leader, if Preller stalls, the best candidates could be off the market. Still, Preller gave no time frame. He didn’t tip his hand on whether he wanted experience or a newbie. He didn’t say if the team sought a screamand-holler guy or someone warm-and-fuzzy. More than speculating on the type of manager, Preller made it clear his players let him down.

Tour highlights Prop. AA improvements around county schools By Bianca Kaplanek

REGION — Parent representatives, the board of trustees, members of an oversight committee and staff from the San Dieguito Union High School District

received onsite updates describing how money from voter-approved bonds is being spent during a Proposition AA fall 2015 projects tour on Oct.8. This year’s tour was

limited to Torrey Pines High and Earl Warren and Pacific Trails middle schools, all located in the south end of the 10-school district. The group started at

Torrey Pines to view the new chemistry classrooms, student store and weight room. They also got a peek at special education classrooms that were built in collaboration with teachers to accommodate student needs. Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, said they are the first classrooms in the district designed and built specifically for special education students. “Normally we retrofit older classrooms,” he said. They include special quiet rooms, meeting rooms and furniture. The main campus at Torrey Pines was built in 1974, with the main B building expanded in 1980. Enrollment jumped from 1,800 students in 1995 to 3,600 in 2003. A 40-classroom structure was added in 2004. The current project includes some “modern” amenities such as air conditioning, a restroom in the health office, new classroom projectors, more bandwidth and improved Wi-Fi. The chemistry classrooms are larger and include flexible furniture that can be reconfigured to accommodate labs. There is also a prep room for teachers, which allows them to better collaborate lessons, Assistant Principal Garry Thornton said. “It’s a wonderful area

for teachers that doesn’t take up any instruction space,” he added. Building a new weight room wasn’t part of the initial plans but construction forced its relocation. It was originally slated to be housed in portables, but because the facility really only required “four walls, a roof and a slab,” building a new one was less expensive than leasing temporary structures, Dill said. Hallways in the B building now feature skylights, solar lighting and polished concrete rather than carpeting. The second stop on the tour was in Solana Beach at Earl Warren Middle School, which is in the process of being razed and rebuilt. Principal Adam Camacho walked the approximately 35 people around the interim campus created with 35 portable classrooms over the summer. He said the temporary classrooms are a “vast improvement” over the old campus, which was built 60 years ago. He described it as “safer and cozier,” with limited access points that are locked down once school begins — a security feature not possible at the old campus. “Our academic delivery has not been sacrificed,” Camacho said. “It’s TURN TO TOUR ON 15

actually improved.” About 600 students are now enrolled at Earl Warren. That is down from just over 700 last year, not as a result of the construction, Camacho said, but because the district opened a new middle school in Carmel Valley. Dill said it was more cost effective to demolish and rebuild Earl Warren rather than renovate the original structure, which was not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The new school, which is expected to be ready when classes begin in fall 2017, will be on two levels rather than five. It will also include air conditioning, improved Wi-Fi, the ability for full lock-down and a better drop-off and pickup area. “Our oldest middle school will soon be our newest middle school,” Camacho said.

I don’t see how you can do that.” He added: “We feel the trees definitely need attention. The whole place needs to be attended to. It needs to be attended to in a proper forestry manner.” “The trees and other plants being removed around the reservoir are invasive and not native,” said Wiborg. “The presence of these non-native plant species affects the health of the reservoir.

invasive and non-native plants such as eucalyptus, palm trees, pepper trees, Arundo, and acacia within a 90-acre project area around the reservoir. A significant project benefit will be that the restored drainages around the reservoir will attenuate urban runoff flows and remove pollutants, thus, helping to protect water quality in the city’s reservoir.” Cottington said that he and other residents feel the city of San Diego, which owns the reservoir, has neglected its duties in taking care of its water resources for years. San Diego officials said the city maintains the property, in part, through the Department of Public Utilities’ invasive plant control program as well as through annual brush management on property adjacent to residences for fire fuel reduction. According to Wiborg, partnering with non-governmental organizations makes good sense for Public Utilities and the water rate payers.

“When other entities are awarded funding to perform management activities on city property, this represents a savings to the water rate payer,” Wiborg said. “The Friends of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve has a 25-year proven record for habitat restoration projects and their goals are in alliance with those of Public Utilities.”

The nonprofit has received grants from the Natural Resources Conservation Service for the project. At this time, there’s no schedule set for any of the band of big eucalyptus trees to come down on the southwest portion of the lake until significant fire dangers have passed, Kelly said.

dance that volunteer leaders of this proposed project will present what they deem to be the best design for their community. And then it can be voted on. “But they may never reach what they deem to be the best design if we do not let them do their job. If we as a community bully them into designing a white elephant, we may in the end have a white elephant on our hands,” Boon said. She continued, “The bottom line is no more money will be spent, no dirt will be moved unless the community votes for it. That is when the fat lady will sing and the final votes are counted.”

Afternoon CALENDAR benefits horse rescue RANCHO SANTA FE — Mark your calendar now for the upcoming benefit for abused horses with Laughing Pony Rescue. The afternoon luncheon and fashion show will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 12 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, 5827 Via De La Cumbre. It will be a full afternoon followed by a Texas Hold’em poker game, hosted by wordsmith and poker expert Richard Lederer. Along with entertainment by Country-Western singer Cowboy Jack from 11 a.m. to noon, there will also be an appearance by professional trainer and jockey Celia Sciacca. News anchor Graham Ledger will be master of ceremonies. The day also includes a silent auction and a live auction by Larry Wight offering a Cabo San Lucas vacation, original artwork and prizes. For tickets and information, visit laughingponyrescue.com. Laughing Pony is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation in Rancho Santa Fe, dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating sick, abused, and abandoned horses of any breed. The organization focuses on helping horses that are adoptable once they are healthy and trained. The rescues primarily come from: — Premarin farms - mares are impregnated and kept in stalls during the last 6 months of pregnancy so their urine can be collected. — Feedlots - these are lots where horses are stored before being sent to the slaughterhouse. If they are too skinny, they are fattened up until ready to send to the slaughterhouse. Rescuing requires paying current slaughterhouse prices, transportation fees and any other applicable fees. — Neglect - when an owner cannot take care of the horse due to finances or inexperience or other situations that will put the horse's health at risk, they can donate the horse.
