NSW's Nikki Garrett is in prime position to capture her first Club Car Series bonus pool title with two events to go.
Garrett, who won the opening event of the Series in Yamba, BWAC Regional Employment and Community Services Pro-am sits on top of the points table with 688.75. The two-time LET winner is 188.75 points ahead of Renault Ladies Pro-am winner Marion Ricordeau and American Beth Allen who took out the Pennant Hills ALPG Pro-am.
This year, the Club Car Series eligibility criterion has been amended to allow the ALPG's International Members to be eligible to be part of the Series and win the bonus pool. It has been a great success and certainly added another level of interest amongst the players.
Queensland's Bree Arthur, 463.75 and right in the mix, while New Zealand's rookie Liv Cheng is also in contention in 425 points. Ireland's Rebecca Codd is sitting in sixth place with 350 points. Victorian Stacey Keating is seventh with 338.75, NSW Emma de Groot is eighth at 327.05, while Rachel Hetherington is ninth 313.75 points.
The Club Car Series now heads to Victoria for the Oates Victorian Open, double points are on for this week's tournament and then for the final event in the first week of March, at the Bing Lee Fujitsu Women's NSW Open. With double points up for grabs the players will certainly be trying to win, or finish as high as they can in the top 10 to maximise the number of points they can pick up.

In an update to the previous post (Part 1), Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland filed a lawsuit last week on August 21 against the U.S. Treasury Department. This lawsuit would force the IRS to change its criteria for approval of organizations desiring 501(c)(4) status to what Congress had intended when it created that status and to enforce the law as written (click here for article). Specifically, an organization desiring 501(c)(4) status must be "operated exclusively for the promotion of public welfare." Congress never intended section 501(c)(4) to be used by political groups to gain tax-exempt status.
After Congress decided to reform campaign finance in the early 1970's with the passage of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) and its amendments, Congress created section 527 of the IRS tax code to deal with political groups in 1975. This section of the code has its own set of rules in qualifying for tax-exempt status. Political committees (Republican National Committee, Democratic National Committee, and all the various Senate and House fund-raising committees), PACs and Super PACs fall into the 527 category. These groups are regulated by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) because their purpose is political. Continue reading

AceShowbiz - James Corden has sent well wishes to his friend Louis Tomlinson following the death of his sister Felicite on Wednesday, March 13.
The One Direction star's 18-year-old sister passed away after suffering a suspected heart attack at her home in the Earls Court area of London.
After the tragic news hit headlines on Thursday, Louis' showbiz pals took to social media to send the British popstar their condolences.
"Such incredibly sad news today. You're not on your own in this @Louis_Tomlinson So many people are pulling for you and your family right now," chat show host James wrote on Twitter.

Singer Charlie Puth posted, "Prayers to Louis Tomlinson. I can't imagine how hard it is right now. Love to you brother I'm so sorry and my prayers are with you," while Olly Murs, who, like Louis, also found fame on "The X Factor U.K.", added: "Absolutely heartbreaking hearing the news of Louis sister Felicite (heartbroken emoji) sending my love to him & all his family right now! Awful news (upset emojis)."

According to The Sun, the aspiring fashion designer, known as Fizzy, collapsed at her home and the person she was with called emergency services. Two ambulance crews reported to her address and attempts were made to revive her but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The London Ambulance Service said in a statement: "We were called at 12.51pm to a residential address in SW5. We sent two ambulance crews, a single responder in a car and an advanced paramedic to the scene... Sadly, despite efforts of our medics, a person died."
Her death is currently being treated as "unexplained". A post-mortem examination will take place and toxicology tests will be carried out.
Her passing comes just over two years after she and Louis lost their mother Johannah Deakin in December 2016, following a battle with cancer.
The 27-year-old recently released emotional new track, "Two of Us", which he dedicated to the memory of his mum, and he was due to perform it during Britain's Comic Relief telethon on Friday, but has since pulled out.

The fate of Taiwan Life Insurance Co (台灣人壽) remains in limbo yesterday as a board meeting to discuss a merger agreement that was scheduled for 2pm yesterday had not begun as of last night. The meeting was called to consider extending a deadline for a merger with CTBC Financial Holding Co (中信金控).
The insurer signed a deal with CTBC in October last year to join the conglomerate through a share swap, but is reconsidering after a more generous suitor entered the scene.
As of 9pm yesterday, Taiwan Life had not filed a stock briefing on the board's decision, while the Chinese-language Economic Daily reported without citing sources that board members were unable to enter the meeting room at 7pm.
CTBC's failure to realize the deal before the deadline on Sunday enables Taiwan Life to call a board meeting and terminate the merger agreement.
The 10-member board is divided on the matter, as Long Bon International Co (龍邦), a Greater Taichung-based hotel service provider and the largest shareholder with four seats, has made clear its desire to end the deal.
State-owned Taiwan Financial Holding Co (台灣金控), the second-largest shareholder with three seats, prefers to maintain the deal in the absence of compelling reasons to change it.
That leaves three independent directors a decisive say. Chung-Hua Institution Economic Research (中華經濟研究院) president Wu Chung-shu (吳中書), one of the three, said by telephone at 6pm that he was in the meeting, and could not be reached later.
Taiwan Life approached potential buyers over the last one-and-a-half years, saying its major shareholders prefer to be purely investors rather than operators amid an increasingly difficult business environment.
Taiwan Life shares fell 1.84 percent to NT$24 yesterday after closing down by the daily limit a day earlier, while CTBC shares ended down 0.51 percent to NT$19.35, Taiwan Stock Exchange data showed.
The insurer's flip-flop reportedly has to do with Hong Kong businesswoman Maisy Ho (何超蕸), who has offered to buy a majority stake in Long Bon, local Chinese-language media reports said.

I am the director of The Natural Child Project , a psychologist, and author of The Natural Child: Parenting From the Heart. I envision a world where all children are treated with dignity, understanding, and compassion.
When asked about the notorious teen years I am often interrupted midway through my statement, "My son is 15 and has brought me nothing but …"
No, my son is 15 and has brought me nothing but joy!
"You're kidding! How did you do that?"
I am proud of my son but I really can't take all the credit. His father and I were simply fortunate enough, after some missteps at the start, to read insightful parenting books and magazines, and be able to network with knowledgeable and compassionate parents. Today he is the most caring, thoughtful, and generous person I know.
"Tell me, please! What did you do?"
Well, we did everything we were told by society not to do … He was never punished, threatened, bullied, or teased, and was allowed to express anger as well as happiness.
"Oh, you spoiled him?"
Well, let's examine that word. The dictionary defines "spoil" as "to cause to demand or expect too much by overindulgence." In my dictionary, this is the third definition. It mirrors the common usage of this word in our society. This definition denotes a cause and effect: overindulgence, it says, causes spoiling. But is this belief true? Or does this definition merely represent a widespread misunderstanding of the true nature of children's behavior? A definition that would be accurate in terms of the way children actually learn and react is the first one listed: "to damage or injure, to destroy."
What actually spoils a child, what actually damages, injures, and destroys vital qualities in the child are the other choices of parental behavior: punishment, separation, and rejection. These experiences spoil a child's inborn sense of trust, capacity to love, creativity, and potential for joy. Robbing a child of these treasures is surely one of the most harmful acts a human can perform.
"So the proof is in the pudding?"
Exactly. Adolf Hitler was frequently and severely abused in childhood. As an adult, he expressed the anguish and pain of those years in ways that brought about misery and suffering for millions. By comparison, Albert Einstein was cherished by his parents. His mother was accused of "spoiling" him. Yet Einstein became not only one of the world's greatest scientists, but a most gentle, caring man, deeply concerned about social issues.
"Where do I find the kind of information that helped you?"
Read Compleat Mother, Empathic Parenting, or Mothering magazines. Talk with midwives. Meet with caring mothers in La Leche League and other breastfeeding support groups. Read books by Alice Miller, Joseph Chilton Pearce, Tine Thevenin, and John Holt, and especially Raising a Free Child, by Rue Kream. Meditate and listen to what your heart tells you. Truly believe that your baby will let you know what is right … and what is wrong.
"How can a baby tell me this?"
Babies come into the world with perfect love and trust. They do not suspect, mistrust, play mind games, doubt motives, or in any way cloud communication unless and until this trust is betrayed by such painful experiences as punishment, rejection, and separation. A baby's smiles and tears are the most potent form of communication on this planet.
"What about the mistakes I've already made?"
There are no perfect parents. While we have all made mistakes, punishing ourselves is no more effective or reasonable than punishing our children. Loving ourselves and understanding that we have done as well as we could have with the information and inner strength we had at that moment, is as important as loving and understanding our children. All we can do is put forth the love that we feel, recognize the critical importance of parenting, and continue to discover compassionate ways of relating to the children we are blessed with.
"What are the most important things a parent should know?"
Two things: First, in our society, it is assumed that children and adults, for some unexplained reason, operate on two separate and distinct principles of behavior. We adults know that we behave at our best toward those who treat us with kindness, patience, and understanding. Yet children are presumed to behave in the opposite way; that is, behave best toward those who threaten, punish, and humiliate them. If we try to pinpoint the age at which this mysterious transformation from "children's principles of behavior" to "adult principles of behavior" occurs, we are at a loss, because there is no such transformation. There is no difference between the "operating principles" of children and adults: we all behave as well as we are treated.
The second important consideration is that so-called "bad behavior" is really a blessing in disguise, as it affords the best opportunity for learning about life. If punishment is introduced at that point, this golden opportunity is lost, because the child's attention is taken away from the matter at hand, and drawn into feelings of humiliation, anger and revenge. Further, superficial "good behavior" obtained through threats and punishment can only take place until the child is old enough to fight back; angry teenagers do not fall from the sky. But trust, kindness and empathy, kept intact within the child from birth, and strengthened by parental examples of those qualities, will last a lifetime.
"I see. It's a matter of trusting children, of recognizing that children may be less experienced and smaller than we are, but that they are equally deserving of being treated with dignity and respect?
Precisely. From newborns to centenarians, all human beings behave as well as they are treated. In parenting, as in all human relationships, let us give only love and love is all we will receive.
Jan Hunt, director of the Natural Child Project, is also the B.C. Coordinator for the CSPCC (Canadian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children), and Editorial Assistant of the Society's quarterly journal Empathic Parenting. Her columns, including, "Ten Reasons Not to Hit Your Kids" have been widely published. Jan is the parent of a 25-year-old son who has homeschooled from the beginning with a learner-directed approach.

TASTING NOTES: Deep red colour with hints of purple. Expressive on the nose with notes of ripe black fruits, violets, and tobacco. Long finish.
Bodega Norton Reserve Malbec 2015
Region: Bodega Norton
Founded in 1895, Bodega Norton is the most awarded Argentine wine brand in the US. Bodega Norton combines a modern, state-of-the-art facility with rich heritage and old world charm. The average vine age of its five vineyards is between 30-80 years old, driving richness and depth across the entire portfolio. Bodega Norton produces exceptional wines at appealing price points and has enormous potential to grow consumer mind share and popularity in the United States.
David Bonomi – Chief Winemaker
Part of a new generation of young, innovative winemakers causing a stir in the industry, David first discovered his passion for wine working in his father´s vineyard. Born in Mendoza, Argentina, to a family of Italian immigrants with winemaking heritage, David explains: "The relationship with wine, in our family, was always our livelihood." As his enthusiasm for the wine world grew he decided to study a degree in Winemaking at Don Bosco University and Juan Agustín Maza University. Since then, David´s wines at Bodega Norton have been awarded more than 95 points, recognized by critics as among the best in the world. And in 2017, Decanter magazine included David in its list of the Top 10 Best Winemakers in South America.

The New York Times recently ran a story about chicken eating with this image:
unusually provocative", only proving once again that words have no meaning to these people.
On cue, PETA became outraged:
"It's down-right offensive, not just to people who care about animals but almost to everyone. It's a plucked, beheaded, young chicken in a young pose." - Ingrid NewkirkThere is a lesson here. The Socialist, above all, is against things and rarely for anything, other than forcing other people to bow to the whims of the Socialist that change with the seasons. Just browse through a few articles by folk who are self identified social liberals and how they describe the chicken picture. Sexy, erotic, sensual . . . It does not even look like it is oiled up!
Something PETA, the New York Times, Greenpeace, and others have in common is a hatred for American industry and the free choice of people to buy from industry. However, they do love certain things so they look the other way when their particular choice is supplied by an industry. In this case, they all find themselves looking the other way and right at each other. One group does not want us to eat a healthy, omnivore diet, another wants food to be chased down for consumption rather than grown on farms (the free range advocates), yet another has a fit if we use fire.
As for describing the chicken as posed like a sexy woman prepared for eating and cooking as some sort of corporate carnivore propaganda designed to lure the otherwise vegan natured human into sins of the flesh, I submit that Dolcett images are a lot closer to those descriptions:

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Alberta Premier Jim Prentice on Tuesday called an election in Canada's wealthiest province, the largest source of U.S. crude imports, as he looks to extend his party's 43-year reign even as weak oil prices threaten to push the economy into recession.
Prentice, a former investment banker and federal minister who took over the leadership of the ruling Progressive Conservatives in September, dissolved the provincial legislature and called an election for May 5 as he seeks to add another majority on top of the party's 12 straight election victories.
Though his party controls 70 seats in the 87-member legislature, recent polls suggest the Progressive Conservatives' popularity is about on par with the opposition Wildrose Party after Prentice last month introduced a deficit budget heavy on tax hikes and user fees as the government tries to replace revenue from the hobbled oil industry.
"We face major challenges because of plunging oil prices which have created such a shock, not just in Alberta but really around the world," Prentice told a gathering of party supporters in Edmonton, the provincial capital. "... Tough choices need to be made."
The province usually relies on payments and royalties from its energy industry to fund nearly a fourth of its annual budget. However with oil prices down by half since June, the Prentice government expects revenue from the sector to fall under C$3 billion this year from C$8.8 billion in 2014.
Prentice also faces rising unemployment as thousands of workers in the province's oil sands, the world's third-largest crude reserve, have been laid off from projects operated by Suncor Energy Inc, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Cenovus Energy Inc and others as they slash capital spending to cope with weak prices.
The province's unemployment rate, which stood at 4.4 percent in November, rose to 5.3 percent in February, with 14,000 jobs lost in the month, according to Statistics Canada. However despite the losses, Alberta's rate was still well below the 6.8 percent national average.
The economic headwinds have some forecasters, including the Conference Board of Canada, predicting the province of four million people will fall into recession this year. However other forecasters and the government still expect the economy to grow in 2015, though well below the estimated 2014 rate of 3.8 percent.

Hand of Fatima, Suri Tondo, north summit. In February Eliza Kubarska and I, from Poland, arrived beneath the famous sandstone towers known as the Hand of Fatima. Our main objectives were a new route on one of the main towers that make up the Hand and look for new possibilities in lesser-known areas. As the best time for climbing in this region ends in February, when temperatures rise considerably (on one day we experienced 56° C), we were the only climbers in the area.
Our presence was only possible thanks to Salvador Campillo and his family, especially his wife Miriam Dicko and her son Yaye, who run the climbing campsite in Daari village. Together with friendly Moussa they arranged frequent water supplies. Dehydration is the main concern in desert climbing, and each day we approached the climb with eight liters of water.
After a reconnaissance we realized that the big northeast face of Suri Tondo only had two routes. The line we decided to try seemed to be compact and relatively long, so we weren't sure if we had enough ropes and bolts; we came prepared only to try something short.
Our original idea was to climb through the immense roofs high in the center of the wall. However, the higher we got, the more we realized that the rock in these roofs was loose, and huge blocks might collapse if we climbed on them. We decided to slant right and bypass the overhangs on a solid part of the face. In doing so we found excellent rock. In fact there is only one place on the route where the rock is dubious, at the level of the big roofs. A ledge there looked dangerous to me. It could have formed a good hold, but we decided not to touch it and instead found a more bouldery alternative.
While we were climbing, the infamous Saharan wind, the Harmattan, started to blow, covering everything with a thick layer of dust, from fixed lines on the wall to filters inside my camera bag. After a few days of this wind, vision decreased to 100m. The only advantage of the dry Harmattan is that it lowers the temperature.
After six days we finished the line. Before the redpoint ascent we removed ropes and installed independent rappel anchors. This descent is probably the easiest way to rappel from Suri Tondo's north summit. We redpointed our line on March 15, naming it Krolestwo Sepa or Royaume de Vautour (Vulture Kingdom, 450m, 7b, 6b+ obl). Our line is partly equipped with bolts, but some crack sections required traditionally placed protection in the form of Friends. During the climb we watched, and were watched by, huge vultures (and marabouts, local Muslim hermits), which sometimes flew only 5m from us. The birds didn't seem to be bothered by our presence and luckily we didn't climb through their nests.
After repeating some established routes on the Hand of Fatima, we drove around the main massifs that make up the Hombori Mountains. The potential for new routes seems almost infinite: hundreds of kilometers of unclimbed walls 200m to 300m high. Massifs such as Sarniere, Dyounde Plateau, the cliffs above Boni village, and many remote towers await future ascensionists.

Only hours after a devastating tornado tore through Joplin, Mo., on May 22, 2011 killing more than 160 people, the first team of AmeriCorps volunteers arrived in the community.
Ultimately, more than 300 AmeriCorps volunteers, lead by Kelly Menzie-DeGraff, director of disaster services for the Corporation for National and Community Service, would come to Joplin and help with everything from cleanup and rebuilding to serving meals to residents, all while coordinating more than 60,000 unaffiliated volunteers.
In recognition of their efforts, the Partnership for Public Service named Menzie-DeGraff and her team finalists for the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals honoring federal employees. Menzie-DeGraff, along with 32 other finalists, will be honored in Washington Wednesday as part of Public Service Week. The finalists are in contention for nine Service to America awards to be announced Sept. 13.
The EF-5 Joplin tornado, the deadliest in nearly 60 years, destroyed more than 7,000 homes and businesses. John Huff, Missouri's insurance commissioner, estimated the total insurance payout could total more than $2 billion, making the tornado the costliest in the nation's history.
Nearly a year later, Joplin is still recovering but making significant progress. NPR reports that the Joplin high school has been temporarily relocated inside the nearby Northpoint Mall but voters recently approved more than $60 million in bonds for the construction of four new schools. President Barack Obama will personally address graduating seniors at this year's graduation ceremony.
According to the Service to America Medals' website, volunteers coordinated by Menzi-DeGraff and the AmeriCorps team provided nearly 580,000 hours of service and "contributed to $17.7 million of donated resources to more than 2,000 households."
Despite the chaos in the hours following the tornado, officials say the AmeriCorps team wasted no time in helping out wherever they could.
"Kelly and her team reacted so quickly and so dramatically," said John Gomperts, the former director of AmeriCorps. "It was an enormous, extraordinarily coordinated response."
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon told reporters at a press conference in June 2011 that the team was instrumental in coordinating the tens of thousands volunteers that streamed into Joplin looking to help.
"AmeriCorps has played a really lead role in making sure that volunteers have come in and have tasks at hand that are safe and doable," Nixon said.
The team's work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during the tornado's aftermath and at other disaster sites led to the creation of FEMA Corps, a new AmeriCorps unit devoted entirely to disaster response, according to the Service to America Medals' website.
As a finalist, Menzie-DeGraff is in the running for Federal Employee of the Year, one of the nine Service to America medals.

In Berserk's manga, TV series and full-length movies, the sword-wielding heroine Casca has traditionally been depicted with dark skin and short, black hair. Today, in Berserk's second episode of the anime's new rendition, she appeared extraordinarily pale. It's gone over about as well as you'd expect.
This year's Berserk anime series has already garnered harsh criticism from fans for its stylized CGI and rushed approach to the manga's storylines. Casca's new look isn't helping to redeem it:
I have no explanation. Casca is still an amazing female character, but she used to be one of the only dark-skinned women in popular anime. I liked being able to point to her and say, "There's one of us!". Oh well. I'll just rewatch Michiko & Hatchin.

The Flaming Lips at The Fillmore
The Flaming Lips hit Philly for a sold-out show on Saturday, March 4 at The Fillmore. If you didn't already check out our interview with frontman Wayne Coyne from earlier this week, stop reading and go check that out right now! All caught up? Good, let's continue.
The show opened with a set from experimental rap group, 'Clipping', who consists of rapper Daveed Diggs and producers William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes. Many of you might know Diggs as a Tony Award winner for his roles as Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the Broadway smash hit 'Hamilton'.
The crowd didn't seem to know exactly what to make of Clipping, so the reaction was somewhat mixed, but overall people seemed to enjoy their set and at the conclusion the jam packed venue was ready for the main event.
With The Fillmore packed to the gills with fans of the Flaming Lips, Wayne Coyne and company took the stage to a roar of cheers, opening with 'Race For The Prize'. With their atypical party/ticker-tape-parade atmosphere that in unlike anything else we see in music today, The Flaming Lips took fans on a magical journey though sight and sound during their thirteen song set.
The stage, fronted by a hanging curtain of dancing LED lights, with guest appearances from inflatable characters, was as much a part of the show as the music.
As Coyne he mentioned in our interview, the energy and love that the band gave to the sold-out crowd was reciprocated ten-fold. One of our favorite moments of the show came half way through their set when they performed a cover of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity', a beautiful ode to the late, great Ziggy Stardust. They closed out their set with 'A Spoonful Weighs a Ton'.
After a raucous round of cheering and chanting the the band's name, The Flaming Lips returned to the stage for a two song encore of 'Waitin' For a Superman' and 'Do You Realize??'. It was a fantastic night of music, and one that we, and the rest of those in attendance, won't soon forget.

Oil Rig Explosion in Gulf Coast
Posted on Friday, November 16th, 2012 at 11:52 am by Williams Hart
An oil and gas rig operated by Black Elk Energy Co. in the Gulf of Mexico, off the Louisiana coast line, exploded into flames on November 16, 2012. The incident occurred during what the Louisiana governor's office described as a maintenance operation, and reports indicate that no oil has so far been spilled into the Gulf as a result of the incident.
According to early reports from KHOU-TV, four people who were on the platform at the time of the explosion had to be airlifted off the rig for treatment and two remain missing following the accident. Additionally, some sources have reported that there were two deaths, but the Coast Guard has not been able to confirm this. No further details have been provided at this time, as an investigation of the cause of the accident and extent of damages has yet to be concluded.
It is our sincere hope that those who did suffer injury will make a full recovery. Our thoughts go out to the victims of this incident and their families.

Current Owners: The Waite family
Listing Price: $10,900,000
Beds: 8
Baths: 10
Casa Bonito Del Rio is a Spanish-style estate encompassing nearly 13,000 square feet of living space on a 9.9-acre equestrian parcel within the historic and exclusive Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe.
Boasting eight bedrooms and ten baths, the residence at 17585 Ranchito Del Rio was designed in 2006 by "internationally recognized architects Bassenian Lagoni," who, according to listing materials, worked to create "a classic Andalusian estate with an authentic floor plan that is characteristic of this region of Spain and its rich, eclectic history."
Modern technologies and classic luxuries are found throughout the home, which is equipped with solar electric and water-heating systems as well as "smart home" technology with controllable Lutron lighting, multiple heating and cooling systems, an indoor/outdoor whole-house music system, and closed-circuit security cameras. Solid walnut flooring and cabinetry, "etched and tumbled Italian travertine," solid alder wood interior doors, exposed-beam loft ceilings, and custom mosaic tile designs are features to be found throughout the property.
An entryway and hand-chiseled rotunda opens up to the home's interior spaces, including a formal dining room, office, and parlor room, "each with its own fireplace."
Beyond lies a great room, game room, and "exhibition kitchen," with an adjacent prep kitchen. In addition to a "walk-in island," the main kitchen boasts "multiple pairs" of high-end Viking appliances. There's another outdoor cooking island by the pool deck.
Present on the home's main level are six en-suite bedrooms in addition to the multi-room master suite, which includes a wet bar and a bath with two steam showers in addition to the spa tub. The bathroom also has its own fireplace.
The home's lower level features another two-bedroom suite, plus a dine-in wine cellar and a movie theater with a snack bar and seating for ten.
Outside the home is a large lagoon-style pool with rock waterfall and more than one outdoor seating and entertainment area, two grass lawns, and an equestrian facility with a four-stall barn, tack room, riding arena, and groom quarters. A two-bedroom guest casita also sits nearby, and the property provides access to miles of horse trails through the Rancho Santa Fe countryside.
17585 Ranchito Del Rio, Rancho Santa Fe
Public records show the owners of the property to be the Waite family, which has held ownership of the land dating back years prior to the current home's construction. Lance Waite is a real-estate developer and children's book author — the Reader's Matt Potter noted last October that his firm, Integral Communities, had invested heavily in last year's political races amid a controversial push to build 284 apartment and condominium units in eastern Chula Vista.
Casa Bonito Del Rio has been offered for sale once before, when it was listed in February 2009 with an asking price of $13,995,000. By the time the listing expired that September, the price had been dropped to $11,900,000. It stayed off-market until late April of 2014, when it was re-listed with a new asking price of $10,900,000, which remains unchanged to date.
