Rancho Days
GLIMPSE
By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE —
The festivities in the Village
have been in full swing all
week. And more fun is to be
had.
On Oct. 8, the RSF Association Taco Fest had a turnout of more than 150 guests
in its quaint patio setting.
Everyone enjoyed a delectable menu of beef and chicken tacos freshly prepared
on site, with must-have side
dishes of beans, rice, guacamole and multicolor tortilla
chips. Skip Cox of “Cash on
Demand,” was on hand for
live Country music.
From there, many attendees took a stroll up the
gentle hill to The Country
Friends and The Prestige
Realty Group, at the corner
of El Tordo and Avenida de
Acacias.
Both share a courtyard
which offered an array of
savory sweets to satisfy any
dessert palate. Visitors had
the opportunity to relax in
the courtyard and then visit the Country Friends Consignment Shop.
The RSF Association
sponsored the Taco Fest
while The Country Friends
and The Prestige Realty
Group supported its desserts
and refreshments event for
the afternoon.

Days activities.

Paying it forward through the love of golf
By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE
— For many, the game of
golf becomes a lifestyle.
In Rancho Santa Fe, this
lifestyle transcends to residents who have volunteered
their time in making the
game enjoyable not only
for their community, but to
children who may not have
otherwise been afforded
such an opportunity.
There are many RSF
individuals behind this
philanthropic curtain.
And one is Ken Bien.
Having served as President of the Rancho Santa
Fe Golf Club during 2000 to
2002, Bien helped develop
the “short game practice
area,” in tandem with the
$3.6 million golf course renovation.
In the golf world, Bien
is the Vice President of
the California Golf Association, current President
of the Southern California
Golf Association, and former co-chair of the 2006
USGA Junior Amateur
Championship, which was
held at the Rancho Santa
Fe Golf Club.
Rancho Santa Fe is rich
with golf history.
“Golf in Rancho San-

ta Fe began with the golf
club being developed by
the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company in the
late 1920s with architect,
Max Behr, who was a close
friend of Dr. Alester MacKensie, the famed golf course
architect,” Bien said.
“The course became
famous with the Bing Crosby Invitational Pro-Am in
the Depression years when
the course hosted 6 Crosby
Pro-Ams from 1937-1942.
Since then, the course has
hosted the San Diego Open
in 1954 won by member
Gene Littler who at that
time was the USGA Ama-
teur Champion,” he said.
Bien continued, “The 2000
and 2014 SCGA Amateur
Championship, 2006 USGA
Junior Championship, 2008
California Amateur Championship and many USGA
and SCGA Championship
Qualifiers have been held
at the Golf Club.”
Bien wants people to
know the course hosting
these prestigious championships is a testament to
its ability to assess skills,
while challenging those
who compete at the highest
level in amateur golf. In his younger years,
while being raised in the
Kansas City area, golf
changed Bien’s life. He
said if it weren’t for golf, he
probably wouldn’t live in
RSF. His adeptness in golf
paved the way to a college
scholarship.
“Junior golf provided
me the life skills necessary
to achieve my life and professional goals.
My success in the game
during my youth provided
me with these attributes,”
he said.
It’s this very reason
why “giving back” to chilTURN TO GOLF ON 19

the fuel moisture in the

Mike Gibbs, deputy fire

Low Level Laser…
Naturally Enhances Health & Wellness
Did you know that most light in proper doses improves health and
wellness by enhancing your body’s ability to heal and replenish?
For example. Sunlight in healthy moderations gives you energy,
warmth and creates a photostimulation effect internally that
promotes natural restoration.
It empowers your body to work FOR YOU and is scientifically
proven to increase hormone production, reduce pain, lower blood
sugar (diabetes), eliminate toxins and stimulate your immune
system.
And now you can initiate that same “cellular” healing power
through low level laser therapy—safely from your own home. It
works to stimulate and fuel your body’s natural healing process,
similar to sunlight.
It’s 100% safe, effective and FDA approved.
Low Level Lasers Engage Your Body at the Cellular Level
You learned it in school—your body is composed of cells and
atoms. And those cells need energy to remain healthy. So when
you’re sick or injured, it means your cells are sick and injured too.
And their energy level is reduced to a sick, ailing state.
And this is exactly where the Low Level Laser works—at the
cellular and atomic level. Low level laser therapy enhances your
body’s ability to carry electrons that stimulate and re-energize sick,
injured, and damaged cells. And it helps improve cell permeability,
which means your cells are better able to channel the nutrients and
material they need for health.
Low Level Lasers Trigger Natural Healing
Medications and surgeries are invasive. They may introduce
infections and other complications while medications can cause
allergic reactions and produce side effects that require additional
medications as counter measures. And all the while add more
toxins to your body that bring a whole different set of problems.
Low Level Lasers naturally stimulate your body to empower itself
by engaging your immune system and energizing your cells to heal
themselves. They work WITH your body—not against it.
Low Level Lasers Are Safe For Home Use
You don’t need to special training to use low level lasers. They are
perfectly safe to use in the comfort of your home. Whether it’s a
nagging pain from overuse or a more serious medical condition, Low
Level Lasers promote relief, healing and overall improved health.
And they can be focused specifically on the area where you need it
most for pinpoint effectiveness—back, neck, hands,
knees—anywhere you suffer pain and injury, which is a cell problem.
So if you suffer from…
• Back/neck/joint pain • Tendonitis • Diabetes
• Arthritis/Rheumatism • Fibromyalgia • And more

Why Six Californias
failed: It’s a lousy idea
California Focus
By Thomas D. Elias
There is little doubt
about why the putative “Six
Californias” ballot initiative that Silicon Valley billionaire Tim Draper hoped
to put on the 2016 ballot
failed: It was and is a terrible idea.
This measure appeared
to be a shoo-in to make
the next ballot for which
it was eligible. Draper had
almost limitless funds and
put petition circulators at
thousands of storefront
doorways in the present
California. The going rate
paid to circulators can run
upwards of $5 per valid signature. Draper put $5.2 million behind his measure to
fracture the nation’s largest
existing state.
And yet, it failed miserably. It was the worst
failure in the modern era
for any proposed citizen
initiative with respectable
financial support. Draper
needed 807,615 valid voter
signatures to get his measure onto the ballot. He
submitted more than 1 million in June, and it became
almost a foregone conclusion that his measure would
qualify.
But when county election officials around the
state reviewed signatures
at random to see how many
were valid, they concluded that only about 750,000
were really those of registered voters, the rest coming mostly from non-registered folks stopped by the
circulators who signed petitions just to end the pestering.
If the reviewers’ projection had come within 15,000
of the required number,
Draper would have gotten
an automatic canvass of all
signatures. But that won’t
happen now.
Why did the entrepreneur fall short? The best
guess here is that many
annoyed store customers
accosted by circulators had
seen or read a little about
the idea and realized it was
no good. So — in a resounding confirmation of the merits of the initiative process
— many refused to sign.
And the idea really
does — did — stink. Imagine for a moment what the
bidding for Tesla Motors’
new lithium ion “gigafactory” might have been like
if six Californias and not
just one had been involved
in the competition. As it is,
Anyone who thinks it’s
tough to get water policy
agreements from one
Legislature would
suddenly be faced with six.
Nevada will pay a bribe of
about $1.35 billion for the
privilege of hosting this
facility near Reno. What
might the proposed state of
Central California, home
to the existing California’s
proposed location in Stockton, have offered? If six Californias had become reality,
Central California would
have begun as America’s
poorest state. Had its new
officials topped Nevada’s
bid and offered more than
the $78,000 the Silver State
will pay for each new job
Tesla creates or spawns, it
would be even poorer.
What might West California, home to Los Angeles, have bid? Or the
desert-dominated
South
California?
That’s just one example
of how each of these regions
becoming a separate state
could have hurt them all.
The reality is that
Draper’s plan to fragment
California — and he says
he’s not giving up — is one
of the goofiest, dopiest ideas
ever seen in a state known
for nutty schemes.
Draper says he’s motivated by a belief that the existing California is “ungovernable.” But he wants to
create six sets of bureaucracies where now there is one.
They wouldn’t necessarily
have identical regulations,
and there’s no guarantee
any or all would enjoy the
property tax protections of
the existing Proposition 13.
Or the clean drinking water
assured under Proposition
65. Or the low auto insurance rates ensured by Proposition 108. Each new state
would set its own rules,
without regard to the others. So what could be built
in the Los Angeles County
city of Pomona might not
be legal in nearby Chino, in
San Bernardino County, for
just one example.
There would also be
the state of Jefferson, comprising a slew of counties in
California’s northernmost
region. This one would not
have even one University of
California campus, which
could leave residents paying $36,000 a year in tuition
if they attend a UC.
Anyone who thinks it’s
tough to get water policy
agreements from one Legislature would suddenly be
faced with six. Good luck.
How would any of this make
the land area that’s now
California easier to governable?
But Californians won’t
be facing these potential
problems and a lot of others anytime soon, because
many had the good sense
not to sign. Which is itself
a sign that despite its many
critics, the initiative system
actually can work very well.

RE: Recycled water
(In response to Coast
News Inland Edition article by Ellen Wright, Recycled water project underway, Vol. 28, Sept. 26, 2014,
page 1).
Escondido Water Director Mr. McKinney expressed concern about the
sodium content of water
that adversely affects avocado trees. Neither sodium nor fluoride belongs
in fresh pristine drinking
water.
But since 2005, sodium
fluoride has been added
into Escondido water and
since 2007 into Metropolitan Water. He has written
his belief that fluoride is a
“food” but admitted that
the fluorosilicic acid source
for fluoride needs to be
neutralized with sodium
hydroxide.
This contributes to the
total sodium content that
became harmful to the
trees in the first place.
He now wants to use
wastewater run through
reverse osmosis for agriculture to help solve the problem. RO does remove fluoride and sodium, but is he
planning to re-fluoridate
the water a second time, after it’s de-fluoridated with
RO, because he believes
fluoride is a food?
Or is he beginning to
understand that fluoride
is a toxic calcium chelator
and that the sodium contributes to harming avocados?
He also plans to use RO
wastewater for drinking
water. The safety of such
water of course is entirely
dependent on the source of
waste used as starting material, because RO does not
remove all chemical contaminants.
For example, RO is
useless at removing tritium water, herbicides, and
many small organic molecules.

RANCHO
SANTA
FE — A Rancho Santa Fe
man who founded a golf
program to help wounded
warriors return “to a somewhat normal life” recently
received a U.S. flag that
flew over the headquarters
of the Regional Command
Southwest and Marine
Expeditionary
Brigade
aboard Camp Leatherneck
in the Helmand province
of Afghanistan this past
Sept. 11.
Brig. Gen. Daniel D.
Yoo honored Tony Perez
with the flag, which was
flown for Perez as part of
a ceremony to commemorate the 13th anniversary
of the 9/11 attacks on this
country.
“What can I say but
that I am very moved and
(it) immediately brought
me to tears,” Perez said.
“The flag will forever remind me of those that paid
the ultimate price.
“And for those that
survived, it is my honor to
serve those that allowed
OGO to be a part of their
rehabilitation to get back
to a somewhat normal life
through golf,” he added.
Perez prefers not to
be lauded for his efforts,
insisting servicemen and
women, especially those
wounded in action, are the
“real heroes.”
“But this special flag is
one that I will always cherish for the rest of my life,”
he said.
In 2008, Perez started Operation Game On, a

Parent speaks to RSF School Board about language program
By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE
— During a RSF School
Board
meeting,
Linda
Leong, a parent whose child
attends the campus had an
opportunity to speak to the
board of trustees.
She shared a few minutes to convey the importance of language in the
classroom.
Already on the agenda,
board president, Richard
Burdge, invited Leong to
speak in open session regarding “Foreign Language
Instruction for K-5.”
While thanking the
board for their time, Leong
formally requested all to
consider a deeper look into
the program.
According to Leong,
middle school was afforded
foreign language which included Spanish and Mandarin. Leong has brought up
the subject before over the
last number of years, but
because the demographics
have changed, she believed
the interest in foreign language has increased with its
young families.
Leong said although
her youngest son is in fifth
grade and probably won’t
benefit from her request,
hopefully, other families
would.
“So far, I’ve collected over 60 signatures in
support of this,” she said,
adding how those numbers
were anticipated to climb
even higher.
While
Leong
has
broached the subject before
she has heard two valid objections from the elementary school. One of which
included there was just no
extra time during the day.
“I would agree because
we do have a packed schedule for our children,” she
said. “However, we can create it.”
Leong suggested possibly having the language
course first thing in the
morning before school
starts, or perhaps, after
school.
Another thought was
having a small language
class during lunchtime,
which was described as a
lunch club.
The other objection
Leong has heard in the
past referred to not having
enough finances.
“I think we can find the
money if the school board is
looking at the Garden Club
to purchase,” she said, adding how the district is also
receiving monies for undergoing energy efficient projects.
Leong suggested surveying parents and identifying which ones were already spending their own
private funds for language
lessons. She went on to say
that possibly they could
identify those families and
maybe bring in those dollars to the Education Foundation.
Following Leong’s open
session presentation, Superintendent Lindy Delaney
invited her to schedule a
meeting at her office so
they could talk.
“I think there’s a mis-
nomer about money, what’s
capital and operational and
what can we use,” said Delaney, thanking Leong for
her comments.
“I welcome a conversation at least to make sure
we’re all clear about what
we’re asking; and, sometimes that’s the best way to
get the information is just
to come in.”
Toward the end of the
meeting, board member,
Todd Frank, asked Delaney
when was the last time the
district surveyed parents in
terms of foreign language.
Delaney said to the
best of her recollection it
was about six years ago.
Frank thought it may
be a good idea to start asking parents general questions again in terms of the
different departments.
Delaney said she would
put this survey as a board
agenda item for November.
She continued, “I think we
have to be very thoughtful
in the survey and how we
proceed, and I would probably shoot for a survey in
January. The holidays tend
to be busy.”
Board member, Tyler
Seltzer was in support of
Frank’s idea. However, he
advised the survey should
be specific as possible.
Seltzer said a simple
question such as, “Are you
in favor of foreign language
K thru 5?” may be too
vague.
Getting into the details
was important, such as discovering if parents would
want foreign language for
their children weekly or
daily, he said.
Transcripts for students, alumni now free
By Aaron Burgin
REGION — Students
in the San Dieguito Union
High School District who
used to spend money on
fees for obtaining official
transcripts are getting
some relief.
The school district
recently announced that
students and alumni can
obtain transcripts free of
charge as part of a uniform
district-wide policy.
Previously, transcript
policies varied on each
campus.
San
Dieguito
High, for example, did not
charge for transcripts.
Torrey Pines, however,
charged $5 for students to
obtain transcripts.
At other campuses,
students and alumni could
obtain the first two transcripts for free, but paid a
fee for the subsequent transcript requests.
“There wasn’t any con-

sistency from campus to
campus,” said Rick Grove,
the district’s associate
superintendent of educa-
tional services. “We had
parents ask a very valid
question as to why there
wasn’t any consistency with
the transcript policy and
after review, we decided
this would be the best way
to go.”
The state’s constitution
allows for schools to charge
students only for the direct
cost associated with providing a copy of the transcript.
Grove said he believed
the fees that were being
charged were not violating
the law.
He said he believed
each of the schools had enacted varying policies as a
result of budget cuts and an
increased amount of workload associated with producing transcripts.
“I think what you saw
was that over time, students have gone from applying to maybe a handful
of colleges to as many as 20
or 30 colleges, and some of
the staff were feeling overwhelmed, especially in the
light of budget cuts,” Grove
said.
Grove said he believes
making all transcript requests free will alleviate
staff from having to keep
count of the number of requests an individual student has made, which can
be burdensome given the
number of students asking
for copies.
“The staff time associated with keeping count
could be better used elsewhere,” he said.
Students and alumni
wishing to obtain free official transcripts must order
them on campus.
Alumni who purchase
transcripts through the district’s contract third-party
transcript provider Parchment can purchase the first
two copies for free, but will
be assessed a fee for subsequent ones.
Unofficial transcripts
are free of charge both on
campus and through Parchment, Grove said.

Many area funeral homes have been bought
out by big corporations in far-away cities.
Mysteriously, the names on the outside remain
the same, but the ownership is a brand new
mystery.
As a local family owned and operated funeral
home, we have deep roots in our community
and a long history of personal service. If you
are looking for a funeral home with a strong,
compassionate commitment to our neighbors,
rather than the financial interests of distant
shareholders, give us a call.
Our family wrote the book on serving our

T he R ancho S anta F e News Alzheimer’s Association returns to RSF Library for another series
By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE
— For a caregiver, family
member or friend who is
struggling in communicating with a loved one who
has memory loss, the Alzheimer’s Association will be
presenting its next complimentary series, “Compassionate Communication,” at
the RSF Library Oct. 16.
Lynn Mullowney, associate director of Major and
Planned Giving at the Alzheimer’s Association, described its Compassionate
Communication curriculum
as one of the most powerful
tools available in caring for
someone with a memory
loss disorder.
When communicating
with a person who has Alzheimer’s or another form of
dementia, she said, all the
normal rules of engagement
change.
“Compassionate Communication rests on one
core tenet: You can’t control their memory loss, only
your reaction to it,” she
said. “Learning the art of
Compassionate
Communication helps caregivers
and family members understand how to respond to
frequently frustrating situations.”
Mullowney shared one
common behavior is repetition. She wants people
to know that a person with
Alzheimer's may do or say
something over and over,
such as repeating a word,
question or activity.
Mullowney
understands how this behavior
may cause tension for the
caregiver, but it’s important to be reminded that in
these instances, a person is
seeking comfort, familiarity, and above all, security.
The disease is causing
the behavior, she said, not
the person.
“In addition to affecting memory and other cognitive skills, Alzheimer’s
disease often affects the
way people feel and act.
Many people find the behavior changes caused by
Alzheimer’s to be the most
challenging and distressing effect of the disease,”
she said. Mullowney continued, “The chief cause of
behavioral symptoms is the
progressive deterioration of
brain cells.”
She also pointed out
that certain types of med-

series, “Compassionate Communication,” at the RSF Library Oct. 16.

ications, medical issues or
environmental factors may
exacerbate those symptoms.
In the early stages,
Mullowney said, individuals with Alzheimer’s disease may undergo changes
such as depression, anxiety,
and irritability.
As the disease progress-
es, other levels of behavior
and personality changes
may include, agitation, anger, verbal or physical outbursts, sleep disturbances,
restlessness, and emotional
distress.
While the disease advances, the caregiver’s approach must be altered, as
well.
Cindy Schaub gives teary goodbye
By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE
— During a recent RSF
School District board meeting Superintendent Lindy
Delaney, invited her former assistant superintendent, Cindy Schaub, to give
her official farewell to the
board.
Schaub accepted the
position of assistant superintendent of educational
leadership at the South Bay
Union School District.
Schaub served the RSF
School District for the last
10 years.
“We wish Cindy the
best of luck,” Delaney
said. “We miss her and she
knows that, but she’s not
that far, and we’ve called
her a few times.”
Schaub told the board
that she felt bad her job
transition happened in such
a way that she wasn’t able
to come back to say “thank
you” and “good bye” at the
last board meeting.
Her new district had
their board meeting on the
very same day so there was
a conflict.
As Schaub continued
to speak, she became emotional.
“This is so hard. I am
not good at this. I always
get a little teary,” she said.
Schaub wanted the
board to know how impressed she was with their
stability.
In the past 10 years, she
never wondered if they’d
ever have support from the
board in doing something.
“We knew that you
were so fully committed to
doing what’s best for students; and, that’s a nice
place to be when you’re an
administrator in the district,” she said.
She knew that many
members of the board were
aware that she had a “calling.”
South, many years ago, just
after desegregation.
Working in that particular district all those years
ago taught her a lesson
about those students, families and their particular
needs.
Since that time, she
always had a desire to go
back to those in need. And
then the opportunity arrived with the South Bay
Union School District.
“There was a moral
calling,” said Schaub, choking up a little. “My ten
Cindy Schaub givers her farewell as years here have not just imassistant superintendent after 10 pacted the kids in this disyears with the RSF School District.
Photo by Christina Macone-Greene
For a couple years, she
was deciding to either end
her career or spend the last
third of it with students of
higher need.
Schaub said she started her career in a district
that had about 50 percent
high wealth and the other
half with very high poverty.
She worked in the
trict, but they are making
a difference for 8,500 kids
that deserve just as high
quality of education as the
kids here do.”
Schaub went on to
say that for her to be able
to take that gift to another district and know what
really stellar teaching already looks like, so many
other children will benefit
from it.
“Thank you for allowing us to do that work
while I was here, and now,
for me being able to take
that somewhere else,”
Schaub said.
“Changes in behavior
can be challenging, but we
have resources to help families and caregivers through
each stage of the disease,”
she said. “By consistently
using Compassionate Communication, caregivers can
significantly improve the
quality of life for all involved.”
During the class series,
attendees will be given tips
for effective communication.
For Mullowney, asking
a person with Alzheimer’s
to remember is like asking
a blind person to see.
“Reminders are rarely
kind. They tell the person
how disabled they are ––
over and over again,” she
said. “Refer only to the
present or the future.”
In example, Mullowney
pointed out if the loved
one is hungry, a caregiver
should refrain from reminding them they ate an hour
ago. Instead, plan a time
for a light snack within that
hour.
Attendees will also
be taught what to do when
asked a question repeatedly.
“Graciously respond as
if it’s the first time. Some
days they seem normal, but
they’re not. They live in a
different reality. Reminders won’t bring them into
yours,” she said.
During this educational series, also highlighted will be the “Do’s and
Don’ts” of Compassionate
Communication.
Mullowney said that
Alzheimer’s is on the rise
and its being called the epidemic of this generation.
“It threatens to double
by 2030, to over 120,000
people in our area alone and
over 10 million throughout
the country. Even in the
face of such large numbers,
Alzheimer’s is an incredibly
isolating disease and people need to know that we
are here to help,” she said.
While the Oct. 16 free
venue will be held at the
RSF Library at 4:30 to
6:30 pm, Vista Gardens, a
Memory Care Community,
will provide refreshments.
Please RSVP to (858) 4924400.
The next series, “The
Latest In Alzheimer’s Research” is slated for Nov.
13. Call (800) 272-3900

are on a six-hour winery
tour with Stagecoach Co.
Wine Tours that will take
us to four wineries on the
west end of the Santa Ynez
Valley.
Located north of Santa Barbara, the valley is
perhaps best known as the
setting for the movie "Sideways." Actors and production crew spent 10 weeks
there filming in 2003; the
movie was released the next
year. As longtime fans, it's a
happy coincidence that this

Kurt Kummerfeldt, a tour guide
with Stagecoach Co. Wine Tours
in Santa Ynez Valley, explains the
pros and cons of various types
of corks and screw tops. He is a
wealth of information on the art of
making wine, local wineries and
vineyards, and food-and-wine
pairing.
Dr. Jack Lockwood offers visitors at Bella Cavalli Farms & Vineyard a
sample of its unique white cabernet. The vineyard makes only 1,600
cases a year, and tastings are by appointment only. Bella Cavalli in Italian translates as “beautiful horses.” The vineyard’s owners also raise
and board show horses. Photos by Jerry Ondash
film’s debut.
“This is a tour for people who enjoy wine, so
there’s no room for snobbery here,” declares Kummerfeldt, a member of the
Guild of Sommeliers. “Basically, we want to showcase
what we have here in the
Santa Ynez Valley and how
good wines can enhance
your life.”
We agree that this
sounds like a good plan.
“You also should know
that no one will be insulted if you choose to use the
dump bucket during the
tastings,” our guide adds.
"If you drink everything
you taste today, you will
have consumed a bottleand-a-quarter."
Judging by the passengers' reactions, this doesn't
seem to be bad news.
Stagecoach
selects
their destination wineries
based on “whether the staff
likes the wine, customer
service, the ambiance and
ultimately, guests’ feedback,” Kummerfeldt explains.
Size matters, too.
Stagecoach likes to
focus on the smaller wineries that produce just a
few thousand cases a year
Actress Virginia Madsen (left), who starred in the 2004 film “Sideways,”
chats with photographer Merie Weismiller Wallace, who took the stills
during the filming of the movie. They met Oct. 4 at the Elverhoj Museum of History and Art in Solvang where a collection of Wallace’s
photos are on exhibit through Nov. 2. The exhibit marks the 10th anniversary of “Sideways,” which has attracted many visitors to the Santa
Ynez Valley where the movie was filmed.
(some vineyards produce up
to 250,000 cases), and there
is no shortage of choices. In
1993, there were 24 tasting
rooms in the valley; today
there are 220.
Part of the reason for
the growth is a change in
the business model.
“You don’t have to buy
land, buy equipment, plant
vines and wait 10 years to
bottle the wine,” Kummerfeldt explains. “Now you can
buy fruit from a vineyard
and use their equipment or
a custom crush facility for
$10,000, and within a year,
you can be selling wine.”
We visit Mosby and Dierberg tasting rooms, enjoy
a gourmet box lunch, then
head to Bella Cavalli, a private winery behind electric
gates. Visits are by reservation only. Like a scene from
a Tuscan family vineyard,
we settle into chairs around
oversized wooden picnic tables thankfully situated under large shade trees.
Dr. Jack Lockwood, a
retired obstetrician and father of the owner, recounts
stories of his military days
in between sampling six
wines. Soon everyone is contributing tales about their
parents' military service.
Kummerfeldt
finally extricates us from this
bucolic setting, and it’s no
surprise that we are behind
schedule for our last tasting
at the Loring Wine Co. Later we visit the Elverhoj Museum of History
and Art in Solvang to see
the exhibit of photos taken
by Merie Weismiller Wallace during the filming of
“Sideways.” (The film received five Academy Award
nominations; it won for
best screenplay.) We are

Sales of pinot increased
by as much as 45 percent.
“I moved here in 2005

Chargers reeling off wins, won’t look too far ahead
By Tony Cagala
SAN DIEGO — Raiders
quarterback Derek Carr
said on Sunday after their
game against the Chargers that he completes that
throw — a deep pass to the
left corner of the field —
100 out of 100 times.
And when asked at a
press conference on Monday, Chargers rookie cornerback Jason Verrett, who
intercepted that pass from
Carr during the dwindling
minutes of the fourth quarter, how often he makes
that catch — he said100 out
of 100 times.

31-28 win for the Chargers
against their division rivals
the Raiders in Oakland on
Sunday.
The
interception
marked the first of Verrett’s
career.
It was a “tough” win,

he said because the Raiders threw some schemes at

fast.

ing like veterans, including
rookie running back Branden Oliver and Verrett, said
Floyd.
Floyd said he knew Verrett’s play at the end was
huge, because if the Raiders intended receiver Brice
Butler made the catch, the
Chargers would’ve been in
trouble.
“That was (Sebastian)
Janikowski’s range right
there, and if we didn’t get
that pick we were in trouble of going into overtime,”
Floyd said.
“The most important
thing in the fourth quarter,
we needed a big stop, we got
the three and out and then
we created the turnover,”
said head coach Mike McCoy.
“The great thing during
that game, too, at the fourth
quarter there was no panic,” McCoy said. “We had
a lot of confidence that we
would find a way to win it
and that’s what we did.”
The Chargers are entering week seven having won
five in a row. They’ll be facing another division rival in
the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium.
But Floyd said the locker room isn’t keeping track
of the win streak.
“I think we just got to
continue to focus and not
lose track of what we’ve
been doing as a team. We’ve
been doing a good job of going in every game focused
on that week, the schemes,
breaking down other teams
and game film, and that’s
all been carrying over into
the game,” said Floyd.
“We can’t look too far
ahead,” adding, “we have to
take it one week at a time.”
He was rockin’ a nifty
mustache, sporting sunglasses and his hair color
matched his last name.
Bud Black was rolling through Kansas City’s
streets, back then, and my
what a long way from Rancho Santa Fe.
“I remember the parade because the turnout
was so great,’’ Black said
from his RSF home. “That
and we had a minimal
amount of sleep.’’
There’s a buzz in the
baseball playoffs thanks
to the Kansas City Royals as they open Friday
against the Orioles in the
American League Championship Series.
Not since 1985 did the
postseason include the
Royals, the same year of
their only world title.
A peek at Royals
games in K.C. come with
an appreciation of an exuberant fan base going
bonkers.
“It’s been nearly 30
years,’’ Black said. “That
is a great sports town that
is very loyal to its teams.’’
Black knows.
As a 28-year-old lefthander he started on
opening day and 32 other
games for the ‘85 Royals,
following up his 17-12 season with a 10-15 mark.
Bret Saberhagen was
at the top of the rotation,
one of four pitchers, including Black, throwing
200 innings.
Saberhagen was the
Cy Young Award winner
— Dan Quisenberry, a
force as the closer.
In ‘85 the Royals were
the first team to trail 0-2
and win the World Series.
Before that they rallied
from a 1-3 deficit for the
AL title against the Blue
Jays.
That squad oozed with
camaraderie and there’s
no doubt something special happens whenever
KC-85 gets together.
“Anybody will tell you
whether it’s football, basketball, baseball, when
you win a world championship that bond that
is created, that forms, it
never leaves,’’ Black said.
“If you’re a pretty
close-knit group as it is,
that bond is even stronger. To this day, when we
see each other, it’s like
time has never passed.’’
Black said clocks

George Brett enters any

Gretzky,’’ Black said of
the Brett, a Hall of Famer.
Brett remained with
the Royals as Black’s
playing career took him
to Cleveland, Toronto,
San Francisco and back to
Cleveland, ending there
in 1995.
As a skipper, Black
recently got word he’ll return for his ninth season
with the Padres.
Black longs for the
day when the Padres concoct the winning recipe of
the current Royals: solid
pitching, good defense,
situational hitting and
savvy base running.
It’s not only how K.C.
does it on the field, but off
it as well.
“The Royals have
done a nice job out of the
draft,’’ Black said, before
rattling off numerous core
players. “A lot of their
guys are homegrown.
“They don’t have a
really high-priced player,
although they did spend
a little money on (James)
Shields, a frontline pitcher.
“But their situation is
not unlike ours as far having the younger players
produce and theirs have
done that. In a division
that has star power, the
Royals’ model is something that is very similar
to what we can do.”
Fresh Padres general
manager A.J. Preller is
bent on getting there.
A busy offseason includes rebuilding an offensively deprived roster
that negates strong pitching and defense.
Preller has one decision behind him in bringing back Black — a good
move.
If Preller’s keen,
maybe the future gets so
bright Black reaches for
those shades, circa 1985.
Black is all in on that.
The mustache? Not so
much.

WATERBOY, the superior brand of water
By Conrad Rios
In this ever changing
world, the need for conservation of resources has never been more important in
our daily lives, especially
those pertinent to maintaining life itself.
It is an understatement
to say our need for quality
water in every aspect of
daily life is critical to our
existence.
Being that water is the
most important resource,
it’s important to understand
the best way to manage our
use of water by insuring
affordability while maximizing quality for everyday
use.
As with many things,
“quality” is often circumvented when it comes to
“affordability,” but in the
case of water, many wise
consumers have discovered
an incredible option that
delivers the best of both
worlds; a home or business
water filtration and conditioning system.
The key word is “filtration,” but it’s not as simple
as choosing just any of the
available systems — by
no means do they perform
alike.
“Our customers are
very educated nowadays
and they want an environmentally safe water solution that also protects the
pipes in their homes, says
Elaine Montemarano, general manager for Superior

chemicals that are put into
our environment.
The WATERBOY is all
natural and great for the
plants and pets.
The WATERBOY provides fresh water the way
it was meant to be while filtering out the unwanted impurities, both natural and
man-made.”
The exceptional process is what makes the WATERBOY unique and can
be utilized in any setting;
single-family households,
multi-unit
condominium
complexes, or within any
type of office or commercial
facility.
The WATERBOY system begins by running in-
coming water through a
three stage award winning
carbon filtration, internal
sediment filter and bacteria
static filter.
Once completely filtered, the water is conditioned through an industrial 4th stage module that
truly sets the WATERBOY
apart from the competition.
The WATERBOY has a Reversing Industrial Fields
Module that conditions the
water non-chemically by
literally restructuring and
realigning the polarity of
mineral molecules without
removing them from the
water, while descaling the
existing limescale in the
pipes.
The end result is a
superior quality of water
that tastes great, silkier on
the skin, and completely
non-corrosive.
Clearly, the WATERBOY stands alone in delivering the best quality water
affordably with over 17,000
satisfied customers since

Visuals take center stage in ‘The Book of Life’
By Noah S. Lee

Shimabukuro: ‘The
Hendrix’ of the ukulele
By L. Kent Wolgamott
Ukulele is booming.
Stores are selling ever more
of the four-stringed, guitar-like Hawaiian instruments. Billionaire investor
Warren Buffett has taken
up the uke. So have musicians like Pearl Jam’s Eddie
Vedder, giving it even more
visibility.
But Jake Shimabukuro,
the world’s most famous
ukulele player, refuses
to take credit for the uke
boom.
“I have been noticing a
growth in popularity, especially among younger and
younger people,” Shimabukuro said. “I think it’s
absolutely fabulous. I’m
just a big fan of the ukulele.
When I see more and more
people picking it up and enjoying it, it makes me happy. It’s a great instrument
and brings joy to so many
people.
“I don’t take any credit for any of that. I just love
playing. I’m just amazed
I’m able to be a traveling
ukulele player. When I
was kid growing up in Hawaii, there weren’t a lot of
touring ukulele players out
there.”
Born in Honolulu, the
37-year-old Shimabukuro is
no overnight sensation. He
has been a star in his home
state and Japan for over a
decade. And he’d been playing for close to 20 years before he got noticed there.
“I started when I was
about four years old,” he
said. “My mom was a ukulele player, so I always heard
it and there were always
ukuleles around. She was
my first teacher. She taught
me a few chords and I tried
to figure out how to play it. I
just fell in love with it.”
Unlike most kids who
start out playing instruments that young, Shimabukuro stuck with it.
By his 20s, Shimabukuro was playing around
Hawaii, putting out records
in Japan, and on his own
label, in Hawaii. Then, in
2006, a YouTube video of
him playing George Harrison’s “While My Guitar
Gently Weeps” went viral,
breaking him on the U.S.
mainland.
“I don’t know who put
it up on YouTube,” he said.
“But whoever did, I owe
them a few dinners.”
“Ukulele
Weeps,”
which has now been viewed
more than 12 million times,
launched Shimabukuro to
places no ukulele player
had gone before — touring
with Jimmy Buffett, performing on late night and
morning TV shows (most recently on “The Today Show”
last year), touring the world
eight months a year and
putting out internationally
distributed records.
He’s been called the
“Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele” for taking the traditional Hawaiian instrument to a
new, likely unmatchable dimension. Like Hendrix, his
playing transcends genres,
incorporating elements of
traditional Hawaiian music,
jazz, funk, blues, classical
and, especially in his cover
songs, rock.
“I had a lot of different influences growing up
and I’ve added a lot more.
There’s much out there,”
he said. “ I just try to find
things that fit together, that
fit with how I feel and how
the ukulele sounds. I want
to make the ukulele something completely different
than what you’d expect.”
The unexpected is
part of what makes Shimabukuro connect, live and
on record, and is most often
found in his covers of songs
from Adele’s “Rolling in the
Deep” to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and Sting’s
“Field of Gold.”
“They’re just songs
I grew up listening to or
songs I love or I’ll hear it
on the radio and go ‘I think
it’ll sound good on the ukuTURN TO SHIMABUKURO ON 19
Rife with glorious animated artistry and solid
vocal talents, “The Book of
Life” is a delightful Day of
the Dead-oriented gem.
When it comes to forming your own identity, it’s
important to follow your
heart, for what better way
is there to live your life
than to be true to yourself? This is especially true
in the case of animation,
where the core is the guiding hand that holds everything together; therefore,
what’s on the inside affects
what’s on the outside.
Which is exactly the
kind of situation that Manolo Sanchez (Diego Luna), a
torero with a guitar and a
pair of swords, finds himself in when the path he desires to walk clashes with
his father’s expectations.
Further complicating matters is the love he feels
for Maria (Zoe Saldana),
whom his charming friend
Joaquin (Channing Tatum)
is already wooing.
All this is part of a
wager between the underworld spirits La Muerte
(Kate del Castillo) and
Xibalba (Ron Perlman) to
determine which man will
become Maria’s lover. Before deciding which life he
wants to follow, however,
Manolo has to embark on a
fantastic journey spanning

deepest insecurities.
All it takes is one
glance at the face of “The
Book of Life” to recognize
its inner radiance, powered
by a heart blessed with a
wonderful pulse. And the
simple mention of Guillermo del Toro’s name is reason enough to give it a shot,
given his knack for producing quality projects.
Such splendor manifests in the form of vibrant
animation and striking
artwork. Under the lively
direction of Jorge Gutierrez, there is this zesty
beauty within the settings
and character designs that
adds to the film’s distinctive personality. And if you
think the world of the living is interesting, then you
have no idea what imaginative possibilities await
you in the three realms of
the dead: the Land of the
Remembered, the Cave of
Souls, and the Land of the
Forgotten.
From what I’ve seen,
the old saying “It’s the
heart that counts” perfectly describes the visual style
they opted for, and I think
Gutierrez and his teams of
artists and animators deserve extra points for embracing their creative brilliance to realize the film’s
unique appearance.
And it is due to their
enthusiasm and diligence
that the audience gets to
participate in an enjoyable
folk tale-esque story set
against a Day of the Dead
backdrop, one that is rich
in romance, adventure, and
humor. Children and adults
will find much to appreciTURN TO BOOK OF LIFE ON 17

The ideal small school campus.
The Grauer School is a leader in Small
School college preparation and founder
of The Small Schools Coalition. After a
quarter-century, we know our learning
culture gets results. Eighty nine percent
of Grauer seniors are accepted to their
first choice college. More important, they
become remarkably well balanced adults.
We are now completing a beautiful and
safe permanent campus, painstakingly
designed to support curiosity, academic
mastery, and discovery. Visit our Open
House-Under-Construction. You might
find that our small school enclave for
Grades 7–12 is ideal for your child.

Grauer School open house is Nov. 15
The Grauer School
will host an Open House
event for prospective families Nov.15, on its Encinitas campus from 11 a.m. to
2 p.m.
Tours will be conducted every 20 minutes and
interested families are encourged to tour the facilities and meet with faculty,
administration, matriculated students, and current Grauer families.
“This year, we are
continuing to offer an online registration option on
our website that allows
families to simply checkin and queue up for a tour
rather than having to wait
in line to register the day
of the event. At the Open
House, visitors will be
guided through the campus by Grauer students
and will be introduced to
faculty, who will explain
our academic and extra-curricular programs,
including all-seasons athletics, performing arts,
robotics, film, leadership,
and community service,”
states Sandy Merten, associate director of Admissions.
“Our programs attract families who are
looking
for
academic rigor coupled with
teachers who truly care
about the success of each
individual student.
“We also offer outstanding support for independent athletes who
need a customized schedule.”
The Grauer School is
a grades 7-12 college preparatory school that is
the regional leader in the
small schools movement.
As a small school by
design, with approximately 150 students total, The
Grauer School emphasizes
relationship-based teaching that stems from its
small class sizes with a
student to teacher ratio of
7 to 1.

adding that getting them

The songs are primarily

“With the ukulele, the
tuning is very strange,” he
said. “You’ve only got four
strings. You don’t have any
bass strings and your lowest notes are on the middle
strings. The high strings
are on the outside.
That throws a lot of

Bien is involved in
two youth organizations:
Pro Kids Golf and Youth
on Course, from the SCGA
Foundation Program. Likewise, many RSF residents
are avid supporters, he
shared.
Bien said these two
organizations provide the
youth of Southern California affordable access to
golf courses and skill building opportunities.
“The game of golf
teaches many of the life
skills necessary to be successful in life such as honesty, respect for yourself and
others, trust, confidence,
etiquette, manners and
many other attributes,” he
said.
“We’re not only providing a venue for Championships, but also in other ways
as providing access to the
course to youth, providing
scholarships to Youth on
Course and Pro Kids youth,
and encouraging youth to
participate in golf,” Bien
said. He continued, “For
example, Pro Kids Golf was
the recipient of the excess
proceeds from the 2006
USGA Junior Amateur at
Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club
of over $200,000.”
In 1994, Pro Kids was
founded by Ernie Wright,
a former player for the San
Diego Chargers.
Since his passing, the
reins of Pro Kids have been
tional Museum in Balboa Park. Tickets on the door are $10, and students
free.
“These annual Concerto Competitions present the chance for SDYS’s most advanced students from
the Ovation Program to showcase
their talent in an intensive and collaborative soloist competition. From
the preliminary round, nine finalists
have been selected to perform at the
Mingei International Museum,” said
Jeff Edmons, SDYS music director.
The winner is awarded the opportunity to take center stage as the
soloist at San Diego County’s top concert halls including California Center for the Arts in Escondido and the
Jacobs Music Center’s Copley Symphony Hall.
and a traditional Hawaiian
song almost always turn up
in Shimabukuro’s shows.
The rest of his set is made
up of songs that he writes.
“I’ll start with a melody that I hear in my head
or a cool chord progression,
play it over and over until
it evolves into something
interesting,” he said. “I always try to base it around
some technique or a concept, something I like, that
can say ‘this is kind of
cool.’“
Shimabukuro’s latest
album, 2012’s “Grand Ukulele,” even features a full
orchestra. But you won’t
hear that on his tours.
“I couldn’t afford to
bring a full orchestra everywhere,” he said. “I will

Howard Wright.
“For my father, golf
was the hook at Pro Kids
and education was the payoff,” Wright said.
According to Wright, a
RSF resident, they currently serve 1,600 kids at its
Colina Park Golf Course in
City Heights, and up to 500
children at its new Oceanside site, Ely Callaway Golf
& Learning Center. Its
Oceanside Honors Course
was presented by TaylorMade.
Wright wants people
to know that Pro Kids isn’t
just about golf. Since its
inception, it has endowed
nearly $2 million in scholarships. And the list of colleges the children from Pro
Kids have attended is quite
impressive.
The children have
earned the right to attend,
Wright said, and they have
underwritten as much as
possible. Majority of the
children come from an annual household income of
$25,000.
In his heart, Wright
knows the kids leaving
their program are going to
be famous, not for their golf
skills, but for their career
and moral choices.
On a day-to-day basis,
Wright shared, all Pro Kids
are given the opportunity
to have academic tutoring, mentoring, life skills
coaching, computer lab
time, leadership training,
college preparation, and
more.
Wright said that his

Shimabukuro generally plays big clubs, theaters
or concert halls, which he
said are his favorite venues.
“I love playing in a
concert hall or some place
with a good sound system,”
he said. “When you’re at
home, it’s fun to play acoustically.
But it’s such a rush
when you’ve got a good
sound system behind you
and you can crank it up.
You feel like a rock star.”
That’s fitting for the
Hendrix of ukulele.
father changed the course
of his own life. “My father
had a sense of purpose. He
was able to impose his will
and bend the arc of poverty in our family, and then
obviously through creating
Pro Kids, trying to build
onramps to success for all
these other kids, of every
color, and every nationality.”
Kevin Gigax, executive
Director at SCGA Youth
on Course, describes their
organization as unique,
because they are trying to
supplement what already
happens in junior golf.
“Our programs are focused on complimenting
local junior programs by
creating affordable golf
opportunities for kids to
practice outside of formal
programming,” Gigax said.
“The primary way we accomplish this is with the
Golf Pass, which gives more
than 3,000 kids access to
145 golf facilities during
off-peak hours for just $1
to $5.”
At the end of the year,
Gigax said, it’s estimated
that Youth on Course will
have supported children
playing more than 30,000
games and more than
40,000 buckets of balls.
“We also provide educational outings, college
golf summits, and other opportunities for kids to practice, play, and advance,” he
said.

Earlier this week,

Donovan said this is

action by putting water on
the fire, there’s a direct
impact.
“Aerial support helps
on every fire, irregardless
of terrain. The work that
the air tankers do and that
the helicopters do directly
support the actions that
are taking place on the
ground on any type of vegetation fire,” he said.
The contract SDG&E
has with Helistream Aviation, the Costa Mesa-based
aviation company which
owns the helicopter and
whose pilots will operate
it, will last through the
end of November.
Donovan added that
SDG&E will reevaluate at
the end of the year whether providing these aircraft
for firefighting purposes
is something they’ll be
able to continue to do. In
September, SDG&E also
contracted for the use of
an Erikson Ari-Crane helitanker.
Contracting for the
helicopters is a costly
endeavor, yet the power
company and the county
of San Diego have established a Memorandum of
Understanding,
setting
a $300,000 budget for
fire season, according to
a press release from the
power company.
SDG&E, the release
stated, would cover the
cost of operating the helicopters during the first
two hours of flight of any
new fire, and the county
would cover the second
two hours of flight. That
money would come from
the county’s aerial fire
protection fund.
By having it up here in
the North County, obviously it’s closer to incidents,
so there’s less flight time
coming from Gillespie
Field in El Cajon (where
the helicopter will be
staged on non high fire risk
days), Gibbs explained.
“It’s not only important for us to meet our mission in the District, but it’s
a regional air asset that’s
available to the entire
county and for that matter,
all of North County,” he
said.

are waiting for you if you are detailed
and earnest. If you make the necessary
preparations to launch your ideas, you
will achieve your dreams.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t follow
the crowd. Show off your unique abilities, personality and assets. A charitable
agency will benefit from your physical
contribution.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be cautious of what you say to whom. A remark

be discreet. You must act professionally

and you will attract all sorts of favorable
attention from the people you encounter.
Romance is highlighted, so enjoy it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t be

reflecting upon and tweaking your next
move.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will be
energized and ready to go. Make use of
your enthusiasm and take on as many
tasks as you can. You will make a new

at the October 4 opening in
Frosinone.
On Oct.24 a delegation
from the Oceanside Museum of Art is scheduled
to travel from Tuscany to
Frosinone to celebrate the
exhibition before it returns
to the US.
California Dreaming
will be on exhibit at Oceanside Museum of Art for over
three months from Dec. 6,
to March 29, 2015. A major public reception will be
held at OMA, Dec.6, 2014
from 6 to 8 p.m.

It’s not every day that a
lifelong dream comes true.
During my first visit
to Rome at age 18, I vowed
that some day I would have
more than simple tourism
as my reason for returning
to the magical land of Italy.
An idea was initiated
in 2012 by a personal invitation from Alfio Borghese member of the noble family
of art patrons dating back to
the Italian Renaissance - to
partner on an art exchange
between Italy and Southern
California.
I was faced with a
daunting challenge: how
to carry out this project —
which had potential of being grand– with appropriate
importance, dignity and
scale.
Over the past year,
Oceanside
Museum
of
Art (OMA) has partnered
with me in developing this
multi-faceted project, which
has matured into California
Dreaming: an International
Portrait of Southern California — an exhibition of 54
artworks selected by three
prominent jurors that will
travel to three notable venues before culminating in
July 2015.
A double exhibition
of work by San Diego area
artists is scheduled to follow, to be held concurrently
at OMA and L Street Fine
Art in San Diego’s Gaslamp
Quarter.
Through multiple calls
for entries, artists were
invited to explore the celebrated lifestyle, influences,
and environs of Southern
California while creatively
interpreting Southern California’s iconic culture. From
900 submissions, the jury
process resulted in California Dreaming: An International Portrait of Southern
California — a collection of
54 works by 54 artists from
Southern California and beyond illuminating a broad
range of perspectives on the
California Dream.
OMA’s Executive Director Daniel Foster says,
“I think this exhibition
has been interpreted by
the three jurors in a very
contemporary and updated
manner that directly challenges the nostalgic and

T he R ancho S anta F e News Odd Files Death Cafés address topic that shouldn’t be scary
By Chuck Shepherd
By Bianca Kaplanek
SOLANA BEACH — It’s been
said there are only two certainties
in life, one of which most people
would prefer to not pay. The other
they’d rather not talk about.
While the first action is not
legally recommended, discussing
death is something Encinitas resident Tiffany Fox is hoping to encourage when she hosts her first
Death Café Oct. 18.
“The goal is to provide a
safe, nonjudgmental space to talk
about death, something that usually has a negative connotation,”
Fox said.
Death Café is an international movement created by Jon Underwood, who held the first discussion group in his East London
home in September 2011. Since
then about 1,150 Death Cafés
have formed.
According to the website, the
objective is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their
(finite) lives.”
There are no other objectives, themes or agendas. In fact,
Bionic Shoes
Police in Japan’s
Kyoto Prefecture raided
a shoe manufacturer in
July and commandeered
a list of about 1,500 purchasers of the company’s signature “tosatsu
shoes” — shoes with
built-in cameras.
Investigators have
begun visiting the purchasers at home to ask
that they hand in the
shoes (but, out of fairness, said they would not
cause trouble for customers who could produce a legitimate reason for needing to take
photographs and video
by pointing their shoe at
something).
The
seller
was
charged with “aiding
voyeurism” and fined
the equivalent of about
$4,500 under a nuisance-prevention law.
The Entrepreneurial
Spirit
Doris Carvalho of
Tampa, Florida, is raising venture capital to expand her hobby of crafting high-end handbags
from groomed, recycled
dog hair (two pounds’
worth for each bag).
With investors, she could
lower her costs and the
$1,000 price tag, since
it now takes 50 hours’ labor to make the yarn for
her haute couture accessory.
Among the suggestions of the Brisbane,
Australia, company Pets
Eternal for honoring a
deceased pet (made to
a reporter in September): keeping a whisker
or tooth or lock of hair,
or having the remains
made into jewelry or
mixed with ink to make
a tattoo.
Overlooked was a
new project by the Houston space-flight company Celestis, known for
blasting human ashes
into orbit (most famously
those of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry).
Celestis, working with
a California company,
will soon offer to shoot
pets’ remains into orbit
($995) or perhaps even
to the moon ($12,000).
the only requirement is that cake
is served at each gathering, making the event “less of a serious
discussion and more of a celebration,” Fox said.
At 38, Fox said she was one of

chairwoman
and Rancho Santa Fe resident Jennifer Gramins, a
longtime supporter of the
Ronald McDonald House,
brought the event to life, incorporating circus-themed
elements and corporate and
community philanthropists.
Honorary chairs of the event
were Rebecca and Jennifer
Moores, who each contributed to the gala’s fundraising
success.
“So many people came
together to make tonight
an overwhelming success
— our honorary chairs Rebecca Moores and Jennifer
Moores, the Hoehn family,
the dedicated event committee, including former event
chairs Mary Drake and Fernanda Whitworth.
“We would also like to
say thank you to our headliner Steven Tyler. He was
extremely generous with
his time and kind to ev-
ally,” she added.
She said her Death Café will
begin with a brief introduction.
Participants will then break into
small groups and be given optional discussion topics such as the
importance of having one’s estate
in order or experiences people
have had witnessing death.
But each group can discuss
whatever comes up, she added.
The meeting will end with reflections from each group — and
cake.
People who are currently
grieving a loss are dissuaded
from attending, but David Miller,
minister at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito,
where the event is being held,
will be on hand for support, Fox
said.
Death Café will be held from
2 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 18 at 1036 Solana Drive in Solana Beach. The
event is free but donations are
accepted to cover the cost of cake
and beverages.

which she said she is fully expected to recover and survive.
“Death doesn’t have to be
scary or dark,” Fox said. “I’ve always been interested in discussing death because it didn’t scare
me, not even as I was contemplating death with the disease.”
As a yogi, Fox said she considers death part of life’s natural
cycle that shouldn’t be feared.
“To live deeply means contemplating death and one’s own
mortality,” she said. “With Death

About 40 people attended the

Fox said. “Clearly there is a need.
