Art Guild celebrates ‘Summer in the Ranch’
By David Wiemers
RANCHO SANTA FE —
Dozens of art lovers and artists
gathered recently to celebrate
“Summer in the Ranch,” the
new show on display at the
Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild.
A wine and hors d’oeuvres
reception was held July 17, dis-
playing artwork at both the Art
Guild and across the street at an
escrow office.
Oil paintings, watercolors
and other mixed media includ-
ing tile works are on display and
available for purchase. The
“Summer in the Ranch” theme
was well-represented as many of
the art pieces reflected sum-
mertime activities, such as time
spent on the beach, surfing and
summer travel.
The exhibit will run through
Aug. 30 and the gallery is open
Tuesday through Saturday 11
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Rancho
Santa Fe Art Guild is a nonprof-
it organization and is always
welcoming new members and
donations for supporting the
arts.

seeks more
open space
By David Wiemers
RANCHO SANTA FE —“The
Association is always looking to
purchase more open space,” said
Tim Moore, chairman of the Parks
and Recreation Committee, dur-
ing an update to the Association
board at the meeting July 17.
The committee’s goal is to pro-
tect and maintain the common
areas owned by the Covenant.
There are currently 56 properties
owned by the Association, which
include the Arroyo property,
Richardson Park Picnic Area and
other park and recreational sites
around the Covenant. The acquisi-
tion of more open space was con-
firmed by Association Manager
Pete Smith. “We’re always trying
to seek out new opportunities,”
Smith said.
The Parks and Recreation
Committee is an outgrowth of the
Open Space Committee, which
was formed by the Association
board in 1985. The idea was to
acquire as much green around the
Covenant as possible to create an
insular effect for the community.
With development deals in place
and parcels of land difficult to
acquire, there is only so much the

By David Wiemers
RANCHO SANTA FE — For
the past six years, the California
Highway Patrol has sought to
increase its level of service and
enforcement in Rancho Santa Fe.
The Senior Volunteer and
Explorers programs have stepped
up to the plate to help achieve
these goals.
Both programs consist of vol-
unteers who donate time and even
provide their own uniforms to
help serve as a visual enforcement
deterrence, issue warnings and
assist in traffic control along with
other services. To show support
and help fund these programs, on
July 17 the Association donated
$3,000 to the Senior Volunteer
Program and $1,000 to the
Explorers program.
The Senior Volunteer
Program, or SVP, is headquartered
at the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol’s
office in the fire station on El
Fuego and is actively supervised
by the Oceanside California
Highway Patrol. The program con-
sists primarily of retired individu-
als who want to serve their com-
munity by periodically directing

Among President
Sarkozy’s recent moves to
trim the size of the French
government was the layoff of
half of the 165 physiothera-
pists at the taxpayer-funded
National Baths of Aix-les-
Bains. The pink-slipped
masseurs warn that the coun-
try’s health will be at risk if
people are unable to get the
mud wraps, thermal baths
and deep-tissue massages
covered by national health
insurance (along with subsi-
dized transportation and
lodging for the visits). In
fact, 27 of the physiothera-
pists immediately went on
sick leave for depression.

Compelling Explanations
Edward Defreitas, 36,
was arrested in Toms River,
N.J., in June and accused of
causing a three-vehicle colli-
sion that injured two men in
a car and sent two others
(paramedics riding in an
ambulance) to the hospital.
Defreitas told police that he
had been drinking and had
decided to drive around until
he sobered up: “He (said he)
was afraid to go home and
his mother finding alcohol
on his breath.”

was awarded the equivalent
of about $75,000 in June in

foot stepladder. Gower-Smith
claimed that he had not been
properly “trained” on how to
use it, despite his long-time
experience with such lad-
ders, and despite his signed
acknowledgment that he had
indeed received training,
and despite his having
blamed himself just after he

blame by saying that, at the
time, he was woozy and did-

Bacardi 151-proof rum
(which normally is consumed
without incident, but Hyman
had spit out the drink,
spreading flames to her head
and upper torso). Hyman
told the Tampa Tribune: “I’m
suing because I should not

was under 21 at the time). If
I weren’t let in, none of the

RANCHO SANTA FE — La
Flecha House, the first house
built in Rancho Santa Fe and
currently home to the Rancho
Santa Fe Historical Society, is
threatened by underground
water that is being absorbed
into the structural walls of the
historic house. Costly repair
work is under way to repair
damage and install a “French”
drain that will divert water
from the structure and prevent
damage in the future.
Gene Magre, a Rancho
Santa Fe Historical Society
board member, is in charge of
the repair project and Flor
Landscaping is doing the work.
“We deduced it was under-
ground water that was doing
the damage,” Magre said. “It’s a
common problem in the Ranch
and even irrigation water runs
downhill, collects here and
seeps into the La Flecha
house.”
Magre explained that La
Flecha House, designed by
Lilian Rice in 1924, was made
of adobe, a very porous materi-
al. “When water is underneath
the house, the walls act like a
sponge, soaking up the water
Congressional hopefuls divided on drilling question
By Wehtahnah Tucker
ENCINITAS — The two can-
didates vying to represent the
50th Congressional district are at
odds over a federal proposal to
allow offshore drilling.
Democrat Nick Leibham, a
former criminal prosecutor and
teacher, is challenging
Republican Brian Bilbray who
defeated Democrat Francine
Busby in a special election in
June 2006, after longtime repre-
sentative Randy “Duke”
Cunningham resigned amid
bribery allegations. He defeated
Busby again by a wider margin in
the regular election in November
of the same year.
Leibham said he takes issue
with Bilbray’s opposition to a
decades-old moratorium on off-
shore drilling. In fact, Bilbray
voted to lift the ban in June 2006
and recently said he supports
President Bush’s position on
allowing states to drill off their
coasts. However, he does not sup-
port drilling off the coast of
California.
Water district takes measures to prepare for anticipated drought
ENCINITAS — The
Olivenhain Municipal Water
District board of directors
adopted a Drought Response
Conservation Ordinance at its last
board meeting.
The general manager simul-
taneously declared a Level 1
Drought Watch for the district’s
service area effective immediate-
ly. The board also ruled that new
service connections will be
frozen, if Level 2 is reached.
The district is continuing to
pursue additional recycled water
delivery options in addition to
already providing recycled water
for homeowners associations, golf
courses and other such common
areas. In August, the district will
begin delivery of recycled water
to the northwest quadrant
of its service area which includes
portions of Carlsbad and
Encinitas.
“The district is focusing its
efforts on conservation, recycled
water and desalination,”
Kimberly Thorner, district gener-
al manager, said. “As a partner

and causing damage,” Magre
said.
To remedy the problem, the
French drain, a ditch filled with
gravel rock that redirects sur-
face and ground water away
from an area, is being installed.
All repair work is being done
by hand — no heavy equipment
is being used — as a precau-
tionary measure to ensure the
integrity of the historic struc-
ture. A 2-foot ditch has been
dug around the perimeter of
the La Flecha house, and in sev-
eral places the ditch is as deep
as five feet. The drain is placed
at the bottom with a 4-inch per-
“Alabama and Mississippi
want to drill in the Gulf Coast,”
Bilbray said in an interview. “To
have the federal government tell
them no when Texas and
Louisiana have been doing it for
years is ridiculous.”
In June 1990, President
George H. W. Bush responded to
concerns about preserving the
ocean and coastal environment
with a directive ordering the
Department of Interior not to
conduct leasing or preleasing
activity in places other than
Texas, Louisiana and limited
parts of Alaska offshore until
2000. The moratorium affected
virtually all of the country’s other
coasts.
Bush’s directive expanded a
moratorium Congress imposed in
1982 that removed 736,000 acres
off the coast of Northern and
Central California from leasing
for oil and gas exploration and
production.The concern for possi-
ble environmental damage and

at the Oceanside City Hall.
Meetings are subject to change.

Meanwhile, a Level 1 condi-
tion calls out six voluntary use
restrictions. These same restric-
tions become mandatory and will
incur penalties if the district
moves to Level 2. Level 1 restric-
tions include not washing off
paved surfaces, not allowing
runoff from irrigation, watering
before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m., using
a shut-off nozzle on hoses and
repairing all leaks promptly. If 10
percent water reduction goals are
not accomplished in Level 1, a
forated PVC pipe wrapped in
special porous cloth and sur-
rounded by loose gravel. The
drain then strains and absorbs
water before directing it into
the street below where proper
drainage is already in place.
There are also surface drains
being placed around the
perimeter of the house to help
direct rainwater.
In the patio area behind
the residence, Mexican adobe
tiles have been torn up to make
way for the new drain.
Replacing the tiles has not
been easy. “These are custom
tiles and are being handmade
such as oil spills, resulted in local
pressure to prevent these possibil-
ities by removing areas from the
lease schedule. In 1998, President
Clinton extended Bush’s
Executive Order until June 2012.
Yet, with gas prices continu-
ing to rise and the price of oil sky-
rocketing, Congress is feeling the
pressure from constituents to
ease the financial pain of the situ-
ation. Bilbray said he views open-
ing up offshore drilling as a piece
of the energy puzzle. “What I fear
is that we have a blanket abolition
on oil exploration,” he said.
Leibham said he supports
the moratorium.“We’re not going
to drill our way out of this crisis,”
he said. Instead, he said he would
work to develop a comprehensive
energy policy. “We will work to
solve our energy crisis and
reduce our gas prices. I will be a

millions of dollars they currently
receive in tax breaks and reinvest

Level 2 Drought Alert could be
declared.
In a Level 2 Drought Alert
(up to 20 percent reduction
required) all water reduction
measures in Level 1 will become
mandatory and will incur penal-
ties.The district board decided to
diverge from the Regional
Ordinance by providing that no
new potable water service con-
nections will be allowed in Level
2.
“The Regional Ordinance
did not call for the discontinua-
tion of new service connections
until Level 3; however, the district
felt that we owed a duty to our
existing customers to take this
step earlier,” Mark Muir, the dis-
trict board’s treasurer and the dis-
trict’s representative to the San
Diego County Water Authority,
said. “If we start telling our exist-
ing customers they have manda-
tory restrictions and penalties, we
didn’t feel it was right to keep set-
ting new meters.” In response to

tion of a statewide drought,

supervising the restoration,
said. “These adobe tiles are
one-and-a-half inches thick, and
a new mold had to be made to
replicate the originals. But we
wanted to keep the integrity of
the original La Flecha House.
It’s been a very tedious
process.” Work began June 26
and will not be completed until
mid-August when the custom
tiles will be ready.
Priced at $60,000, the
restoration has been a costly
endeavor and the French drain
is taxing the reserves of the
RSF Historical Society. Magre
has asked residents of Rancho
Santa Fe for their support.
“Anybody who is interest-
ed in helping to preserve our
first residence, the home that
gave us our starting point, a
donation would be greatly
appreciated,” Magre said. “It’s
the home that helped make our
community such a magnificent

David Wilmot, president of
Santa Cruz-based Ocean
Champions, a group that focuses
on ocean users to help preserve
the ocean, said his organization
supports a more comprehensive
approach to crafting national
energy policy. “We are strongly
opposed to ending the moratori-
um and against any new (oil)
leases,” he said.
“We know this problem is
hurting a lot of us,” Wilmot said.
“It’s a complex problem, with
complex solutions but those are
known.”Wilmot said new drilling
sites would not yield oil reserves
for up to seven to 10 years, which
would have no immediate impact
on gas prices. “Offshore drilling
simply will not solve that prob-
lem,” he said. “The risks to our
coastal economies are just to

“The plain and simple of it is
that the entire state is in a

said. “We do not have the ability
to replenish those supplies as we

Restore the kelp,
restore the coast
It’s safe to say Southern
Californians take the ecosys-
tems and environments of
California for granted. How
else would you explain Los
Angeles and San Bernardino
county? Removed from their
very nature by a century of
growth and greed, human
populations have pushed
native habitats to the edge of
collapse, if not extinction, to
make more room for more
people willing to risk it all in
pursuit of the highly fabled
California dream.
Usually when talk turns
to endangered habitats and
the species that depend on
them for survival, people are
talking about coastal sage
scrub and the corresponding
riparian species. Native ter-
restrial species are rare in
coastal Southern California,
and have been for several
decades. Gnatcatchers, moun-
tain lions, lynx, mule deer,
horned lizards and all others
that predate Western civiliza-
tions are hard-pressed for sur-
vival because humans aren’t
big on sharing space or place.
Unfortunately, but not
surprisingly, coastal marine
ecosystems have been equally
degraded by the hand of man.
Out of sight and out of
mind, the coastal habitat
known as the California kelp
forest is perhaps California’s
most endangered ecosystem.
Diminished by hundreds of
human-induced impacts,
1,000 other species live
among the fronds of
Macrocystis pyrifera, the 200-
foot-tall “sequoia of the sea.”
Or used to.
Pollution, climate change
and coastal groins and jetties
contribute to the unrelenting
destruction brought about
by industrial deforestation.
Richer in minerals than any
known land crop, kelp is har-
vested for consumer products
including baby formula, salad
dressing, ice cream, Jell-O pud-
ding, cosmetics and beer. Kelp
products are also used in the
manufacture of livestock and
poultry feed, pharmaceuticals,
cosmetics and fertilizers.

North County coast. Re-estab-
lishing a healthy kelp commu-
nity will contribute signifi-
cantly to shoreline preserva-
tion and stabilization.
The interplay of sand and
kelp, beach and bluff are con-
nected at bedrock level hav-
ing evolved over several mil-
lennium. Over the last centu-
ry, starting with roads and
railways being built across
estuaries, and the beginning
of the industrial kelp harvest
around 1911 for use in gun-
powder production and fertil-
izer during World War I,
and the construction of
further impediments to
sand mid-century, combined
with unchecked population
increases, coastal habitats are
lucky to have survived at all.
Harvesting kelp does not
benefit the local economy, nor
does dredging estuaries to put
sand on the beach, or allowing
detrimental infrastructure to
remain in place. This is not
the answer. Costly, and ulti-
mately futile, sand replenish-
ment does nothing to restore
the processes that would
negate the need for costly
replenishment and shoreline
preservation boondoggles.
Coastal restoration will
happen when mistakes of the
past are undone.
Kelp reforestation is pos-
sible. Science and sensibility
suggest it can be done with
conservative restraint and a
commitment to restoring the
ecological processes of coastal
geology, hydrology and biolo-
gy. A restored kelp forest from
La Jolla to Leucadia will con-
tribute considerably to a
localized ecotourism econo-
my.
Kelp reforestation is the
answer.

single-family custom home sites

“To the west, these rare
ridgeline properties showcase

vice president of project admin-
istration for Rancho Cielo

Cielo, said. “To the east,
Montagna at Cielo overlooks
the Olivenhain Dam and Lake
Hodges.”
“We are extremely excited
by the response of our very first
limited selection of custom

Developer praised for smart growth
DEL SUR — Fred Maas,
president of Black Mountain
Ranch LLC, developer of the
master-planned community of
Del Sur north-
east of Santa
Luz, has been
named the
Smart Growth
Champion of
the Year by the
Urban Land
Institute, San
Diego/Tijuana
chapter. FRED MAAS
The Smart
Growth Champion of the Year
honor has never been previous-
ly bestowed by the institute,
but was deemed the most fit-
ting to recognize Maas’ many
contributions, according to
organizers. Nearly two decades
before green building strate-
gies and sustainable design
gained widespread attention,
Maas began planning Del Sur,
which has become the most
environmentally conscious
community of its kind in San
Diego.
“Smart growth incorporat-
ing sustainability, mixed use
and mass transit have been
guiding Maas for years,” said
San Diego architect Mark
Steele, chair of the ULI award
program. “Maas not only pro-
motes smart growth, he invests
in smart growth and builds
smart. He is a true champion of
smart growth.”
Located on 1,800 acres of
long-vacant, historic ranch
lands just north of SR 56, Del
Sur eventually will include
2,500 market-rate homes, 469
low-income affordable housing
units, nearly 1,100 acres of ded-
icated open space, a town cen-
ter with business and retail
space, two schools and a fire
station. It is the final phase of
the 4,600-acre Black Mountain
Ranch property, which Maas’
group purchased in 1988.
“I am deeply honored by
the ULI’s award, and I share it
with the dedicated design
team of planners, environmen-
tal consultants and community
groups that have participated
in making Del Sur an environ-
mental asset to the region,”
Maas said. “We’ve demonstrat-
ed that green building prac-
tices and sustainability not
only make environmental
sense, they make economic
sense, and they are the only
sensible course for the future
of housing.”
Under Maas’ require-
ments for builders, Del Sur
incorporates some of the most
progressive applications of sus-
tainable development avail-
able, including solar energy for
at least 20 percent of homes,
tankless water systems and
water-saving landscape irriga-
tion systems.
A first-of-its-kind plan in
San Diego has recycled more
than 92 percent of construction
waste as part of a community-
wide program.
Based on government,
industry and manufacturer
estimates of average home
energy and water use, and par-
ticular savings estimates of
specific types of sustainable
products used as part of Del
Sur’s core set of green features,
the community at build-out
will save more than 100 million
gallons of water each year; and
more than 5 million kWh of
energy each year, the equiva-
lent of nearly 9,000 barrels of
oil.
Maas also is the founder of
the Del Sur Ranch House, the
community’s information
center, which is San Diego’s
only Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design
Platinum certified building,
the highest ranking possible
from the U.S. Green Building
Council. The Ranch House is
actively promoted as an educa-
tional resource to encourage
prospective homebuyers and
the public to commit to envi-
ronmental responsibility.
Under Maas’ leadership,
Black Mountain Ranch was one
of the first and largest private
contributors to the Multiple
Species Conservation Program,
with more than 1,900 acres set
aside to support threatened
habitat and endangered
species. This has created an
open-space buffer larger than
Balboa Park. Del Sur, along
with its sister community
Santaluz, also incorporates an
18-mile network of trails for
hiking, recreation and wildlife
viewing.
Maas helped lead the
coalition that resulted in the
completion of SR 56, and BMR
was one of the first private
projects in California to con-
tribute millions of dollars to
interstate freeways 15 and 5.
He also has contributed
$500,000 toward a mass-transit
education program.
Del Sur has been honored
with numerous awards, includ-
ing California’s highest envi-
ronmental recognition, the
Governor’s Environmental &
Economic Leadership Award,
presented in 2007 for compre-
hensive land use planning. The
community also was named
Mixed-use Development of the
Year at the 2008 National
Green Building Awards pro-
gram of the National
Association of Home Builders.
The Smart Growth
Champion award was present-
ed to Maas on June 26 during
the ULI’s fourth annual Smart
Growth Awards.

of sustainable, thriving com-
munities worldwide.

Beautiful mountains.

Delicious food. Mediterranean
climate.
If you were told all of these
features can be found in central
Italy, you’d probably think
Tuscany.
Guess again.
These words describe
Abruzzo, a region in Chieti
Province southeast of Tuscany
and on Italy’s Adriatic coast.
And in the words of travel
writer Jordan Clary of
Encinitas, “Abruzzo has every-
thing Tuscany has to offer but
for less money.”
With the value of the dollar
down against the Euro and costs
of traveling up, that’s what we
like to hear.
“I would say that this is a
part of Italy well-worth visiting
for a number of reasons,” she
said. “One, of course, is econo-
my. It’s more affordable than
some other areas, and it’s a very
authentic experience. I think
the Abruzzo region still feels a
bit like Old Italy.”
Other excuses — um, rea-
sons — to visit this lesser-known
region is its “rich combination
of history, art and stunning nat-
ural wonders,” Clary said.
What made Clary’s October
2007 Abruzzo tour unique was
her mode of travel — a vintage
Fiat 500, which “looks a little
like a brightly colored metal
mouse. It’s a classic icon of
Italy.”
Clary took the trip at the
invitation of a group of Abruzzo
promoters who also have a thing
for the Fiat 500s. She was cho-
sen for the trip because she
writes for several different mag-
azines, including some that
reach Asian audiences.
Any trip to anywhere in
Italy is made with great expec-
tations for a fine gustatory expe-
rience. Was the writer disap-
pointed?
“The food was simply amaz-
ing,” Clary said.
Her favorite discovery?
“That’s hard to say. When
you’re wining and dining
through Italy, what’s not to
like?”
But pressed for an answer,
Clary named Villa Maiella

But what you may not know is
this is one of the most malevolent
films my eyes have ever seen.You
may not know that you are going
to witness an 8-year-old with a gun
to his head by a good guy turned
bad.
You may not know that this
film’s plot has absolutely no pay
off for the viewers who managed
to sit through two and a half hours
of a gruesomely dark movie, filled
with so many twists that they
don’t add up when the credits roll.
You may not know that you
will walk out of the theater literal-
ly feeling “beat up” by one of the
many bad guys that flank the
screen.You may not know that the
hero Batman may not be as
instinctive, clever, and smart as he
should be.
I would never ever let my son
see this movie, except maybe
when he turns 18. I am so sad-
dened by the fact that this is what
draws crowds to the theaters these
days.
I’m more of a PG girl, honest-
ly. I think I’ll stick to Disney
movies. And, even those can be a
bit gruesome at times.
Hollywood may need to re-
think their standards of exactly
what a PG-13 means. If it means
watching a woman be tied up to
barrels of explosions,the good guy
turning bad and an 8-year-old
with a gun being pointed to his
head in front of his mother, count
me out.
Now as a movie viewer who is
supposedly the target audience to
view these types of films, I was
completely disgusted and upset
by all of the cheap twists and turns
in “The Dark Knight.”
I was fortunate enough to
study plot development at UCLA
many eons ago, and one of the
main ingredients is that a twist in
a plot must be justified, plausible
for a reader (a viewer in this case)
to accept the change of sequence
of events. What this movie does is
keeps you feeling “on the edge of
your seat” for all of the wrong rea-
sons. When the lights come up,

you actually feel grateful a bullet
didn’t graze your seat inside the
movie theatre.
When I walked out of the the-
atre I actually felt concerned and
afraid for the future of our coun-
try. Is this what we want to see?
During a time when recession is
being whispered across America,
when gas prices have hit over $4
dollars a gallon and a price of
matinee is $8.50, I am utterly
shocked and ashamed at the lack
of sophistication in the average
movie goers.
You can’t blame Hollywood and Allison Lent pause for a photo recently at Sky Dive San Diego. Courtesy photo
for making violent nasty movies
that portray the hero-turn-literal-
ly-gruesome holding an eight year
old hostage if we are willing to pay

I can’t even imagine how
much worse the next film will be,
but you can bet I won’t be there to
support the Dark Knight’s terror
at the box office next summer cap-
italizing and setting bad examples
for the lives of so many impres-
sionable young adolescents who
are looking for an actual hero to
emerge and save the day. I think I
will stick with the 1980 version of
“Superman,” when heroes really
existed and good always did over-
come evil at the end of your basic
comic book strip movie.
Around Town
On July 13, I jumped out of
an airplane! This is my third time
to try and my second successful
jump. A few months ago I had
gone down to Sky Dive San Diego
with a few of my friends to only
experience a bad case of clouds,
30 minutes of circling and a land-
ing in a small aircraft I would
rather forget. Luckily, I had a
“refund” that day and managed
to drum up some courage this
month and retry skydiving. You
know that saying, “The second
time around it’s always better”?
But after a scary plane landing,
and a third time in the sky, I have
to admit my knuckles were white.
I was the girl who looked pan-
icked sitting next to her instruc-
tor. However, as my feet left the
plane and I fell from the sky the
second time, I can see why people
become skydiving junkies. How
wonderful to find yourself free
falling with the wind echoing in
your ears. This is worth every bit
of the money. For less than $200
you can discover why the view

from the sky is always better than

Lent, Jamie Willson, Jill Drouin
and I were the only ones who
made it from that infamous pic-
ture of the group of skydivers
“bound for the ground.” Fact: It is
more dangerous to drive to the
airport than fall from the sky (of
course, depending on the dis-
tance to the airport).
On July 15, I meandered into
Mille Fleurs, my local hangout,
where I discovered Scott Kaplan
hosting a Pre-Opening Day party
in the courtyard to celebrate his
horse running in the second race
on the most celebrated day in
San Diego. I snapped a quick
photo of him with trainer Doug
O’Neill and Suzie Robinson on
the night of their festive occasion

hated depending on which direc-

to be driving up I-5 for a client of

her friend actress and producer

enough to snag the soughtafter

By Randy Kalp
OCEANSIDE — A 43-
year-old woman pleaded not
guilty July 18 to her fourth
driving while intoxicated
charge in less than one year.
Tammy Dee Evans is
charged with a felony DUI
after two concerned
teenagers reported her to
Oceanside police on the
evening of June 25.
“They said, ‘She
appeared to be drunk,
smelled of alcohol and didn’t
appear to be acting normal,”’
testified Officer Dana
Darling at the recent prelim-
inary hearing.
In addition, the teens
told police Evans had said
she was going to the beach to
party, Darling said.
Darling testified she con-
tacted Evans approximately
an hour later on the beach
with a cooler filled with dirty
water, shrimp, a bottle of
cranberry juice and a water
bottle full of vodka.
The defendant was
adamant she hadn’t been
drinking on the beach,
Darling said. The officer said
because the water bottle
filled with vodka was still
full and no alcohol had been
added to the juice she felt
Evans’ story checked out.
Evans had a blood alco-
hol content of .21, more than
twice the legal limit, Deputy
District Attorney Nicole
Roth said. She was convicted
in January for three DUIs, in
one of which she had a .32
BAC and in the other she had
a .34 BAC.

At Carlos Eduardo

Several hours later, Perez said
he caught Ramirez back in the

“It looked like he was

Master Sommeliers the rock stars of wine world Vista man to

FRANK
MANGIO
Taste of Wine
I have had the pleasure of
getting to know a few Master
Sommeliers in my world of wine.
It’s like meeting rock stars! I mar-
vel at their vast knowledge of the
“who, what, where and when” of
wines.
The term sommelier is a
French one going back to the
17th century when individuals
were entitled when they stocked
food and wine for trips and kept
these items in a carriage called a
“somme.” They also had to
ensure the condition of these per-
ishables by tasting them before
presenting them to the master of
the house. If they contained poi-
son, they were the first to know
about it!
Todays’ sommeliers achieve
that certification by going
through rigorous training before
they can covet the title.The mod-
ern American version sometimes
prefers to be called a wine stew-
ard. He or she chooses the wines
in the restaurant, stocks the cel-
lar, conducts training for the staff,
works in the dining room and rec-
ommends wines to customers. A
few of these individuals aspire to
attain the title of Master
Sommelier, awarded in the Court
of Master Sommeliers in London.
The process of multi-day tastings
and testings is exhaustive. Only
87 in the U.S. have attained this
highest level of sommelier.

wanted for allegedly criminal-
ly receiving metals.
Four individuals have
been arrested as a result of the
operation and charged with
receiving stolen property
and/or failing to obtain identi-
fication from a person selling
scrap metal.
The operation, which
investigated recycling busi-
ness that were operating as
‘fences’ for stolen scrap metal,
arose because of the burgeon-
ing theft of metal, in particular
copper wire, around San Diego
County.
“Just as those of us in law
enforcement attack drug deal-
ers and drug users — we’re
aggressively prosecuting both
the copper thieves and the
recyclers who knowingly buy
from them,” District Attorney
Bonnie Dumanis said in a
press release. “These crime
have a ripple effect, threaten-
ing public safety in our com-
munity by interrupting utili-
ties and the 911 call system.”

SAN MARCOS — David

CARLSBAD — “A dazzling

described the Palomar Orchid
Society’s auction last year.
This year’s auction will be
held at 11 a.m. Aug. 9 at the
Carlsbad Women’s Club. The
auction is the society’s main
fundraiser for the year, and will
feature up to 200 orchids from
around the world.
The public will have an
opportunity to bid on and pur-
chase orchids not usually seen in
local nurseries and home
improvement stores. “One of
the things this auction provides
is a chance to own a unique
orchid,” said John Kidwell,
Society member and auctioneer
at this year’s event.
The public will be able
to preview the orchids beginning
at 11 a.m., and the bidding will
begin at noon. Expect to see

Sentencing Ranch teen wins two titles in second beauty pageant

school bomb
threat caller
By Randy Kalp
SAN MARCOS — A
Superior Court judge granted
a continuance July 16 in the
sentencing of William M. Hall
II, a former Palomar College
student convicted of calling
in multiple bomb threats to
the campus last fall.
“In light of the serious-
ness of the case, I’ll grant the
motion … but it will not be
continued after that,” Judge
Joel Pressman said.
A Sept. 10 hearing date
was set, at which time a new
trial could be scheduled or
the sentencing will take
place.
Hall has hired a private
attorney to review his case to
determine if there’s suffi-
cient evidence to file a
motion for a retrial.
If he’s sentenced in
September, Hall could
receive up to nine months in
prison.

RANCHO SANTA FE —
Firefighters from the Rancho

District responded to a garage
fire in the 18000 block of Via
Catania the evening of July 17.
The garage was equipped
with a sprinkler system, which
activated. While the sprinklers
did not put the fire out, it did
slow the fire down which con-
fined it to the garage.The alarm
from the sprinklers also alerted
the resident of the danger and
allowed him to safely exit the
home and call for help.
Upon arrival they found a
golf cart inside the garage of the
home completely engulfed in
flames. The fire had also begun
to spread to other items in the
garage including the structure
itself.
“The sprinkler system was
definitely a factor in this inci-
dent,”Fire Marshal Cliff Hunter
said. “If there had not been a

Whenever I get the chance, I
love having my 17-year-old god-
daughter for a few days. It is
always enlightening in one way or
another.
This time, it involved the
kitchen. First let me say she is an
extraordinary cook and baker and
she always cooks at least one meal
for us when she stays. Taking the
high risk of sounding ungrateful
and never getting another tasty
meal from her, I still have to say
this is a mixed blessing. My
kitchen and I just don’t see that
much action very often.
To me, a clean kitchen says
“This kitchen is relaxed and
peaceful. It’s resting and requires
absolutely nothing of you, thanks
just the same.” For this child, a
clean kitchen is almost an insult
and certainly a challenge. It says
to her, “This kitchen is underuti-
lized. This kitchen needs some
attention and love! This kitchen is
not living up to its potential!”
Vista man faces attempted murder charge for stabbing
By Randy Kalp
VISTA — A 19-year-old man
tried to kill another partygoer
after the two men got into a fight
over a broken aquarium, prosecu-
tors said last week.
Deputy District Attorney
Robert Eacret on July 23 argued
that Matthew Alan Leidle’s actions
last month warranted an attempt-
ed murder charge. Leidle had ini-
tially been charged with assault
with a deadly weapon for alleged-
ly stabbing Rafael Guadarrama 11
times with a knife.
Following Superior Court
Judge Timothy Casserly’s decision
to bind over Leidle on the attempt-
ed murder charge, he ordered the
man back to court Aug. 6 for an
arraignment on the new charge. A
trial date may be set at that time.
The incident occurred in the
early evening of June 8 at a house
party in the 500 block of Palm
Drive in Vista after Guadarrama
accidentally broke an aquarium
that was laying in the yard, wit-
nesses testified.
Guadarrama testified the
fight was only between him and
Leidle, and that he never saw a
knife. He suffered 11 wounds to
the left side of his body and spent
eight days in the hospital.
“I felt like all my insides were
going to come out,” Guadarrama
said.

Because Rafalovich was young,
Ted and Janet Rafalovich thought
it would be interesting to have
their daughter go into pageantry.
Rafalovich went into her first pag-
eant, the Miss Greater San Diego
Pageant, thinking there was no
way she would win because it is a
rarity for first-timers to place. She
was fourth runner up,and no train-
er can be credited with the accom-
plishment.
In June, Rafalovich secured
the title of Miss Rancho Santa Fe
Teen USA. Judging was based
upon a photo and a brief blurb on
what the contestant likes to do.
“They sift through the photos and
choose 100 people for a phone
interview,” Rafalovich said. Then
there are the in-person interviews.
“There are so many thing you
can and can’t do (during the inter-
view),” Rafalovich said. Everyone
has their theory as to how to win
over the interviewer, but
Rafalovich advises against walk-
ing in and shaking their hand.

been asked, “Who is your role
model?” “(Interviewers) are look-
ing for fluidity of sentences and
maturity,” Rafalovich said.
Currently, Rafalovich is
preparing for Miss Teen California
USA 2009 and she plans to,“Come
in there and rock it.”Set for Nov.21
in Palm Springs, the pageant will
be based on swimwear, evening-
wear, an interview and beauty.
“They look at everything, your
sponsor, your attitude, how
involved you are.The inner beauty
speaks for itself,” Rafalovich said.
Rafalovich said she realizes it
is not about winning the crown.
“It’s about winning confidence
and poise,” she said. Should she
win, Rafalovich plans on being an
advocate for change. “I am not a
follower. There is no drinking, no
drugs (for me).”She said she wants
to bring awareness at the high
school level.
Aside from her beauty,
Rafalovich has both brains and
brawn. She spent her freshman
new corners to hide in.
I am the first to agree that cre-
ativity is never tidy and she does
eventually clean it all up.
Nonetheless,it is always traumatic
for me to see my reasonably order-
ly kitchen in such chaos.The obvi-
ous struck me, belatedly. Do you
think this is one of the many rea-
sons I don’t cook much? Ummm,
yes.
I suddenly realized that hav-
ing a lovely, clean, uncluttered
kitchen is downright therapeutic
for me. It is, it seems, more impor-
tant to me than almost any meal I
can think of. Unless I had several
sous chefs on hand, wiping coun-
ters and washing, drying and
replacing every utensil immedi-
ately after it’s used, I’m going to
chafe. I’m not proud of it, really,
but there you are. And do I really
need to tell you I don’t want to be
that sous chef?
I know I need to just chill and

Her interest in rescue organi-

why horses would need to be res-

That’s where Mellen first
learned that thousands of horses
are slaughtered every year, and
the meat is sold for consumption

“At that point I became

Mellen said. “I found the main

step in and help … save a horse
from a cruel fate.”
Last year, according to the
Animal Welfare Institute, more
than 100,000 horses, including
about 15,000 Thoroughbreds,were
slaughtered in one of three for-
eign-owned facilities in Texas and
Illinois.
“While a handful of horses
are purposely sold into slaughter
by irresponsible owners, most
arrive at the slaughterhouse via
livestock auction, where unsus-
pecting owners sell the animals to
slaughterhouse middlemen
known as ‘killer buyers,’” accord-
ing to the Animal Welfare
Institute Web site.
Although the three U.S. facil-
ities, which annually exported
about $42 million of horse meat,
have been shut down, “that hasn’t
stopped the slaughter of our hors-
es,” Mellen said.“They just go far-
ther for that fate. Now they’re
shipped to Mexico and Canada.”
The sale and consumption of
horse meat is illegal in California
and Illinois. The American Horse

Clary dined at Azienda
Agrituristica in Rosello, about 25
miles due south of Pescara.
“It has a warm ambience —
dark with heavy wooden tables,”
Clary said. “The place is lively
and, as in all of Italy, the wine
flows freely.”
Clary came to travel writing
circuitously.
The transplanted Ohio native,
who has lived in several California
cities over the years, went to
China in 2004 to teach English.
She eventually began writing
about the country of two billion
for airline magazines. When she
returned to the States in 2007, she
was a regular contributor to those
magazines and others. She now
works almost full time as a travel
journalist and also teaches col-

Representatives but failed in the

Actress and animal rights
activist Bo Derek, who was recent-
ly appointed to the California
Horse Racing Board by Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, launched
a campaign earlier this year in
Canada to stop horse slaughter in
that country.
Mellen said her goal is not to
shed negative light on the sport.
“There are a lot of positives in rac-
ing,” she said. “There are many
trainers and owners who support
their horses when they’re finished
racing. But for those that are not
supported when their racing
careers are over, here is After the
Finish Line to step in.
“There’s a lot more life to a
horse when they’re done racing,”
Mellen said. “They give of them-
selves on the racetrack. These
horses do this because we ask this
of them. It’s our choice for them to
race even though they were bred
for it. But some horses could have
no injuries.They are just too slow.
there was the shopping.
“In the small town of
Pescocostanza, you’ll find gold-
smiths who craft a delicate 18-
karat gold pendant called a pre-

piece resembles a star and is sur-
rounded by filigree arabesques. In
the center is either a single heart
or two hearts joined by a crescent
moon and symbolizes eternal
love.”
Goldsmiths have been in busi-

Middle Ages, and many of the
local goldsmiths have been follow-
ing the family tradition for gener-
ations.
Another favorite stop was the

“It felt like a very much like a

At the preliminary hear-

arguments with Lovell.
His former girlfriend,
Lazelle T., who was a minor at
the time, testified at a
February preliminary hear-
ing that Lovell made her and
her friend work for hours a
day as prostitutes at various
hotels in Southern California.
“I felt forced, pressured
into it,” she said. “I felt I
would be kicked out on the
street if I didn’t do any-
thing.”
Kacylen D. said the cou-
ple recruited her during a
trip she took with them to
Six Flags. After less than a
year of prostitution, she said
she didn’t see the “bright
side” of it and wanted to get
out.
During her time with
Lovell, Kacylen D. said she
had nonconsensual sex with
him multiple times out of
fear of abuse.
According to the two
women, Lovell made thou-
sands of dollars a month sell-
ing them to clients that were
partly established through
Craigslist.org.

MAKING YOUR DREAMS A REALITY...
Creating gardens with a 'sense of place', and a philosophy that
every landscape in our vast world is unique. It is important
when we create gardens to first 'read the landscape' and learn
from what we see. Your garden should reflect your own
individual personalitiy, with the realization that your garden
can be both theraputic and healing in nature. Gardens, above
all, can teach us to see what is really important, and
can help us slow our lives down!
