BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY or Jacob Redmon, the theatre means breaking out of his shell and the stereotypes associated with Asperger's syndrome. For his sister, Rachael, it's a chance to stand up to bullying. The Carlsbad siblings' mother enrolled them in the Encinitas-based Positive Action Community Theatre (PACT) in 2008, at first as a way to help Jacob, then 11, with social skills and as a fun activity for Rachael, then 5. "I knew that improvisational theatre could help him because

it helps you with thinking on your feet and reacting quickly," said Sandy Redmon. Kathryn Campion, who founded PACT in 2008 with her husband, said the autism community reached out to her nonprofit shortly after it was founded. "[They] told us that theatre was the perfect vehicle to learn how to communicate and interact socially, the main challenges of those with autism," she said. "We were inspired by their love for their children and changed our focus to serving people with autism
through the performing arts." In the beginning, Jacob had difficulties taking on different characters and speaking in front of others. "I remember specifically there was a time when we did scripted theatre and we were playing characters," he recalled. "I was so angry at what my character was and saying this wasn't me, I don't want to be this. I refused to act like that. I was so fed up." But then — as more children on the spectrum joined and Sandy, who had experience both with autism and teaching, took SEE THEATRE, A23
BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Encinitas will continue to move to district elections, despite opposition from residents at the second public hearing on the subject Sept. 20. The Encinitas City Council voted unanimously at the meeting to approve staff recommendation to guide the creation of draft district boundaries and set a deadline of Oct. 18 for submissions of proposed district maps from the public. Prior to the meeting, in closed session, Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz and Council member Mark Muir opposed the move to district elections, but said during the public hearing they would support the transition and their colleagues. Initially, they said the city should take more time to weigh their options. Currently, Encinitas residents are asked to vote for two at-large candidates for city council and one candidate for mayor every two years. In the past, the mayor was a rotating position. The city received a letter July 20 from Santa Monica-based attorney Kevin Shenkman, who threatened to sue the city if it did not move to district elections. In his four-page letter, Shenkman said Encinitas is diluting the votes of minorities with its current at-large election system, thus violating the state's Voting Rights Act of 2001. He also accused Encinitas of being discriminatory against Latinos, saying the city has a long history of hostility toward Latinos as evidenced by the fact that its first mayor repeatedly made racist statements during council meetings in the late 1980s. In August, the city council declared its intent to move toward district elections to avoid litigation and is deciding SEE ELECTIONS, A21
High school foundation members defend themselves against accusations BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board heard from a room full of passionate boosters of its four high school foundations at its Sept. 14 meeting, speaking out after months filled with accusations about fundraising operations and claims from what one parent said was a “negative minority
who will always find a reason to be disgruntled.” “I’m here to tell you that they don’t represent me,” said Kristy Laliotis, president of the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, regarding statements made against the foundation by a pair of concerned parents. “We’re here for one reason and one reason only. We love our
schools, we love the families and the foundations that the families represent. We are united and we stand together to tell the board this evening that we’re tired of the distractions and the accusations. We have work to do so let’s get to it.” The board room was overcrowded with those who support the
foundations, the organizations that seek voluntary donations to bridge the gap between student needs and state and district funding for the district’s high schools. San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) Superintendent Eric Dill acknowledged that issues regarding SEE FOUNDATIONS, A22

Marijuana task force to meet Sept. 28 BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Residents will get the chance to share their thoughts about marijuana’s place in Encinitas when the city’s Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) Subcommittee reconvenes after a summer break on Sept. 28. At the public meeting at city hall, the subcommittee will continue its discussion on the possibilities of cultivation by local farmers, mobile dispensaries for medical marijuana, a scientific survey and the banning of edibles in areas like parks, said Encinitas City Council member Joe Mosca, who sits on the task force with Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz. Mosca said the goal of the meeting is to continue the discussion and receive feedback and input from the community. The last time the subcommittee met was in May. In past meetings, the Encinitas farming community has advocated for cultivation as a way to sustain their businesses, but naysayers have warned about possible dangers toward the youth and community overall. It was also suggested that some proponents did not live in the city and were just looking for monetary profit. Over the last several city council meetings, proponents and opponents have flooded public comment periods to share their opinions regarding marijuana. Because of the nature of public comments, the city council has not been able to respond during the meetings. Some speakers have suggested the city has already decided it is in favor of marijuana,
but Mosca said that is not the case. “I don’t think the fact that we’re looking at and exploring cultivation — because the city council asked us to — means that we’ve made up our minds,” he said. “I, for one, have not made up my mind, and I don’t believe the process has been biased in any way. I don’t know if I’ve heard anybody say exactly where they stand on this issue. That conversation is still yet to be had.” He also added that while some people have advocated for storefronts in the city, council members have not appeared in favor of such establishments. He said the introduction of a citizen initiative — which was filed Aug. 22 and aims to earn enough signatures to let the voters decide how the substance should be handled in Encinitas — is a “bit of a game changer.” The San Diego-based Association of Cannabis Professionals will have to obtain about 6,000 signatures from Encinitas voters to quality for an initiative on a special election ballot or about 4,000 signatures for a general election initiative, Mosca explained. “This issue is now going to be addressed by the residents of Encinitas,” he said. “As a council member, you’re always trying to understand what is the will of the residents and what’s in sync with what they want. If the issue is actually heading for the ballot, well, they’re going to tell us how they feel.” The AUMA Subcommittee will meet Sept. 28 at 6 p.m. in the city council chambers at city hall, 505 S. Vulcan St., Encinitas.
Special education parents ask for ‘impartial’ task force facilitator BY KAREN BILLING As the San Dieguito Union School District is in the process of forming a special education task force to help improve the outcomes of students with disabilities and develop a strategic plan, several parents spoke out against staff’s choice for a group facilitator at the Sept. 14 board meeting. After listening to public comment from parents, the board agreed to find more candidates for the facilitator. San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) Associate Superintendent Mark Miller had recommended the facilitator and was concerned that not moving forward with his selection would delay the process — the first task force meeting was scheduled for Oct. 11 as they work toward recommendations for the 2018-19 school year. “If the process was delayed a month but if they knew that it was a real partnership, I think parents would be OK with that,” SDUHSD board trustee Mo Muir said. “I want this to work. We want their buy-in. We want them to on board with this and to start in good faith.” Since August, Miller said that he has worked to form an inclusive task force representing various viewpoints to come up with the best strategic plan to serve special education students. “Staff has been working diligently to get the task force up and running, taking into consideration feedback,” Miller said. “It became extremely clear that due to distrust of
district staff, that there needs to be an independent person to lead this process.” His recommendation for the independent facilitator is a recently-retired, “highly respected” Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) director in Orange County. She was an assistant superintendent overseeing special education and student services who also oversaw the transformation of an Adult Transition Program in Garden Grove. The parents argued that the facilitator will only work if he or she is impartial. The parents said that as the selected facilitator had worked previously with Miller and as a special education administrator, she could not be impartial. “I wonder whether the end product in this new model for special education has already been decided and that the task force is really going to be just providing cover for the final report,” parent Janet Schenker said. “This is how you’re being perceived.” Schenker said the composition of the task force is “lopsided” with just five parents and 17 district representatives and with the selected facilitator having an administrative background, “it appears to some parents that you’re stacking the deck.” “All we’re saying is pick somebody impartial who hasn’t been involved in administration,” said parent Ellen Montanari. “They don’t have to have experience working within schools at all. A good facilitator just makes sure everyone is heard. That’s it.” SEE SPECIAL ED, A21

‘Kook’ statue battered by waves of late-night decorators
BY BARBARA HENRY The near-daily, illicit decorating stunts on Cardiff’s popular boy surfer statue have taken their toll, leaving the famous “Kook” in a sorry state of late. Middle-of-the-night pranksters often use the metal surf spray around the boy’s board as climbing holds and that’s worn them to the breaking point. The statue’s granite base has been scratched by wires used to hold illicit decorations in place, and all over the famous piece there are remnants of tape bits and other gummy substances left from the many costuming stunts. “We’re looking into it right now,” Encinitas Arts Administrator Jim Gilliam said recently after visiting the Coast Highway 101 icon and taking photographs to document the years of wear and tear. The city will likely ask the artist — Hemet resident Matthew Antichevich — to do the repair work on what’s formally titled “The Magic Carpet Ride,” Gilliam said. “I would be happy to repair it, but this time it’s going to cost some money,” Antichevich said. He said he no longer works in the foundry where he created the piece a decade ago and he used up his extra metal surf piece castings when he last did repairs on the statue in 2012. If the city wants to return the wave splash area to pristine condition and replace

Pedestrian dies after being hit by vehicle in Encinitas BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A woman who died after she was struck by an SUV on Sept. 15 in an Encinitas crosswalk was identified three days later as Carmen M. Gonzalez. Gonzalez, 61, of Encinitas died at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla about two hours after the crash, which was reported at 6:05 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15 at the intersection of Encinitas Boulevard and Balour Drive, according to the San Diego County medical examiner's office. She was crossing Encinitas Boulevard in a marked crosswalk when an SUV drove around another vehicle that had stopped for Gonzalez and struck her, San Diego County Sheriff's Deputy Oscar Butler said. The woman driving the SUV remained at the scene, and alcohol was not a factor in the crash, Butler said. It wasn't immediately clear if she was cited. This investigation is ongoing by the San Diego County Sheriff’s North Coastal Station, Traffic Division. Anyone with information about this collision can call the North Coastal Traffic Division at 760-966-3512.
Man’s body found in hot tub at Leucadia home BY KAREN KUCHER The body of a man in his 50s was found in a jacuzzi behind his Leucadia home Tuesday morning, Sept. 19, but a sheriff’s official said there was nothing to indicate it was a suspicious death. The county Medical Examiner’s Office will try to determine how the man died, authorities said. The man was found around 9:15 a.m. by his housekeeper when she arrived for work at the home on Fulvia Street near Hymettus Avenue, said Encinitas Fire Batallion Chief Jim Mickelson. The body was in the jacuzzi in the backyard. It appeared the man had been dead for awhile, Mickelson said. “It sounds like it was a medical issue and (he) just happened to be in the jacuzzi,” said sheriff’s Lt. Matthew Glisson. — Karen Kucher is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune.
statue was unveiled — Antichevich said the city wouldn’t have a repair problem if decorating discontinued. “Make a couple of arrests and then it will stop,” he said. “It breaks my heart that they do that.” Technically, it is illegal to put costumes on the statue and people who have bragged publicly about doing some of the more extensive, late-night stunts have been issued warning letters telling them to cease or face vandalism charges. Artist Bryan Snyder, who admitted to transforming the statue into the painter Vincent Van Gogh years ago, received one of these letters. However, there hasn’t been a move at City Hall to place sheriff’s deputies around the statue all night to prevent pranks from happening. Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear said that the City Council hasn’t considered doing that. A Cardiff resident, Blakespear admitted she’s enjoyed some of the statue’s transformations. The famous stunt years ago when the surfer boy looked like he was being eaten by a great white shark was particularly creative, she said. “I really liked that one,” she said. The city’s arts administrator said that over the years the intensity of decorating stunts has diminished. “The days of the really spectacular
installations seem to have passed,” Gilliam said, adding maybe that’s why an annual calendar featuring photos of recent Kook decorating stunts is no longer published. Nope, that’s not the reason, calendar creator Fred Caldwell said. He stopped publishing the calendar several years ago for financial reasons, not artistic ones, he said, mentioning that he hates “asking people for money” and he needed sponsors each year to pay the printing costs. “I actually have not run out of good photographs,” he said. “There are a lot of great costumes that have gone on it and some even recently.” One great recent stunt transformed the statue into Alice in Wonderland complete with magic mushrooms at the base. That could be featured in a 2018 calendar, Caldwell said, mentioning that he’s toying with the idea of doing one for the coming year. While the calendar’s taken a hiatus, photographs of the Kook’s costumes regularly post on the internet. Caldwell said he likes checking out cardiff.kook.org, which offers photographs submitted by passersby of the latest decorations. This week, the site’s photo display included the recent Little League, Lion and Spider-Man costume stunts. – Barbara Henry is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.
Author will compare surfing to meditation at Wills book reading BY COREY LEVITAN If you’ve ever sensed something deeply mystical about surfing, you’re not alone. Jaimal Yogis has published his second memoir connecting the pursuit of the perfect wave with the pursuit of enlightenment. The 37-year-old surfing enthusiast and Buddhist teacher, who lives in the Bay Area, will read from “All Our Waves are Water: Stumbling Toward Enlightenment and the Perfect Ride” (Harper Collins) at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23 at D.G. Wills Books, 7461 Girard Ave., La Jolla. “There are so many parallels between surfing and meditation, I don’t even know where to start,” Yogis explained. “In Buddhism, meditation is not just sitting there. Sitting meditation is just one form of mindfulness. The Buddha was very clear about this. You should also be mindful when walking, when lying down, when speaking. And so, everything is really an opportunity for mindfulness practice. “But there are certain things that lend themselves to being present more than others, and surfing is really high on that list because the ocean is so dynamic that it requires hyperpresence,” he said. Raised a military brat in the Azores and Sacramento, Yogis — who says his last name is Lithuanian and only sounds coincidentally spiritual — ran away from home at age 16. “My parents had divorced and I was rebelling,” he said. “I got into a lot of trouble.” On his own in Hawaii, Yogis began to learn to surf and practice Zen Buddhism. Upon returning to California, he studied to become a monk at a Zen monastery, but ultimately decided to attend college instead of getting ordained. It’s the period Yogis covered in his 2009 book, “Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer’s Quest to Find Zen on the Sea,” which Yogis also turned into an autobiographical 2015 documentary. “All Our Waves Are Water” picks up the story as Yogis treks from the Himalayas to Indonesia to New

York, in his 20s, to seek a truth that was inside him the whole time. “The point is that nirvana is not something to achieve but is right here, right now, in your ordinary life,” he said. Yogis’ visit to La Jolla will be one of a few he makes each year to visit a cousin who lives here. “The water’s beautiful and the people seem ridiculously happy,” Yogis said. “If there’s anything wrong with (La Jolla), it just seems like it’s too perfect.” ■ ON THE WEB: jaimalyogis.com

‘For Your Sweetheart’
Local resident raises awareness about diabetes’ connection to heart disease
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe Attack’s Malcolm Tovey is taking part in For Your Sweetheart, a national campaign to raise awareness about the critical link between type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Tovey, a type 2 diabetic, was unaware of the link until he discovered he had two blocked arteries and would likely die from heart disease if he did not make a healthy lifestyle change. The For Your Sweetheart campaign, which was developed and sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company, also encourages people with type 2 diabetes to learn more about their risk factors for the sake of their “Sweethearts,” the people they love. “Ever since I found out about the link between diabetes and heart disease, I’ve done everything to make positive lifestyle changes,” said Tovey, who received assistance from his own Sweethearts, daughter Briana and girlfriend Angelyn. “I’m very careful about my diet, I’ve increased my exercise and dropped 50 pounds.” Due to the complications associated with diabetes, such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure and obesity, cardiovascular disease is a major complication and the leading cause of death associated with diabetes. People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than people without diabetes. Approximately 50 percent of deaths in people with type 2 diabetes worldwide and approximately two-thirds of deaths in people with type 2 diabetes in the U.S. are

When Tovey looks back, pre-diagnosis, there weren’t that many overt signs that he was diabetic. He sometimes lacked energy and had gained weight but he led a very active lifestyle — he has been with Rancho Santa Fe Attack soccer for 20 years and is the current director of coaching, he’s a PE teacher at The Nativity School and the varsity soccer coach at The Bishop’s School. “Diabetes is a silent killer, it just creeps up on you slowly and you don’t even realize it’s happening,” Tovey said. “When I was diagnosed, it was quite a shock.” Tovey said he didn’t take his diagnosis seriously and he didn’t have the information he needed to make the correct choices. It was
hard for him to grasp that he was a diabetic — after all, he was an athletic coach and teacher and he exercised nearly seven times a week. He ignored the diagnosis and didn’t do the right things to take care of himself. “That was my first mistake, I was completely in denial,” Tovey said. About 13 years ago, Tovey was in the hospital for a broken leg when the doctors discovered he had two blocked arteries and would have to undergo an immediate cardiovascular surgery to put in stents. The blocked arteries were attributed to complications from his type 2 diabetes. He had plenty of time in the hospital to think about the choices he’d made as he had to wait for three days after the stents were put in before surgery to repair his broken leg. “The broken leg may have saved my life,” Tovey said. The experience made him completely re-evaluate the way he treated his disease and motivated him to take his health and wellbeing seriously. But he didn’t do it alone. “My daughter has been very influential in helping me,” Tovey said of Briana. “I have a sweet tooth and I call the little princess the fridge police.” Both Briana and Angelyn help keep him on track, unhealthy food never lasts long in the household. Tovey said his Sweethearts took the diabetes diagnosis seriously from the start and encouraged him to speak with his doctor to get more educated — “You don’t want to mess with them,” he said. This year Briana and Angelyn purchased a 24-hour blood
glucose monitor that registers Malcolm’s blood sugar online. If the results get too high, alerts can be sent to his family members. “They’ve been a wonderful support mechanism,” Tovey said. “External support is massive but you really have to intrinsically buy into the program yourself for it to be truly effective.” The reformed chocoholic said as much as possible he now makes the right food choices and, as a coach and PE teacher, works to share that message with his young players and students. With the For Your Sweetheart campaign, he wants to educate even more people, to raise awareness of the risks and to encourage people to talk to their healthcare providers. The sooner people know the risks, the sooner they can take steps to reduce those risks, he said. “If I had known about the link between heart disease and diabetes I would’ve been more engaged in working with my doctor from the beginning,” Tovey said. “My reaction when I was diagnosed was embarrassing. If you are diabetic, know about the link to heart disease and get educated early on to get on the right track. Diabetes doesn’t have to be a death sentence.” Visit ForYourSweetHeart.com to take the Heart You Quiz and sign up to get a customized discussion guide to team up with your doctor and your sweetheart to learn about heart disease risk. For everyone who signs up, Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company will donate $1 across leading patient advocacy organizations.

Encinitas educator elected to Internet Hall of Fame BY GARY ROBBINS Encinitas educator Yvonne Marie Andrés was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame on Monday, Sept. 18 for her pioneering work in developing e-learning programs that have been used by students and teachers worldwide. Andrés was one of 14 people selected this year for induction to the Hall of Fame, which was created in 2012 by the Internet Society. The hall’s members include such luminaries as Vint Cerf, who is often called the “Father of the Internet” for co-designing its early protocols, and Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. Andrés work dates to the mid-1980s, when she was teaching middle school in Oceanside. She developed a program in which students shared their writing, which proved to be very motivational, especially when material was distributed by computer. “We wanted to use technology to connect young writers with an audience, or with other students so that they could collaborate on projects,” Andrés told the Union-Tribune. Her work gave rise in 1984 to the nonprofit Global SchoolNet, an enterprise that was followed in 1992 by creation of the Global Schoolhouse, which introduced students to everyone from explorers and scientists to community leaders and authors. Andrés also helped to pioneer a mode of communication that has become one of the

Encinitas teens spend summer doing humanitarian work Three Encinitas teens served in underprivileged countries doing humanitarian work over the summer. Alexandra McDonald, Lexie Rhodes and Hunter Rhodes each spent their summer vacations serving Humanitarian Experience for Youth (HEFY), a nonprofit service organization that arranges summer humanitarian expeditions for youth, ages 16-19, to countries throughout the world. Alexandra went to Ghana, while Lexie went to Samoa and Hunter went to Peru. For two-and-a-half weeks, the students woke up in
their respective countries and put on their work gloves to spend the day digging, mixing cement, laying brick, and serving those in impoverished conditions in an effort to learn the true meaning of service. In the process, they changed the lives of those they served, as well as their own. “Simply stated, the mission of Humanitarian Experience is to change lives through service. It changes the lives of everyone involved,” said HEFY Founder Glenn Bingham. For more information about HEFY, visit hefy.org.
Grauer School graduate wins at the Saddlebred World Championship Horse Show Last month, Victoria Walz went undefeated at the prestigious World’s Championship Horse Show for American Saddlebred Horses and Riders held in Louisville, Kentucky. This horse show crowns World Champion Saddlebreds in various performance and equitation divisions. Walz won World Championships not only in a performance division but also in the Saddle Seat equitation division. Walz, riding her American Saddlebred horse, “Jett Rink,” won the 3-Gaited Show Pleasure World Grand Championship and qualifier for Riders 14 -17 years of age. She had a great ride on
Manss Aval / Origin of Disunity
“Rufus” and out-showed the other riders in this class to win the Tricolor World Championship ribbon and Garland of Roses. Walz also took home the Tricolor Championship ribbon and Rose Garland in the Saddle Seat Equitation division. She is the first rider from California to ever win the Saddle Seat Equitation World Grand Championship for Riders 14 – 17. Her equitation pattern was flawless and her rail work was exceptional. She also won the Saddle Seat Equitation World Championship for 17-year-old riders. Walz is the 18-year-old daughter of Roberto and Minerva Walz from Rancho Santa Fe. She recently graduated from The Grauer School in Encinitas. This fall, Walz is concentrating on the upcoming Morgan World Championships as well as the Saddle Seat Medal Finals. Walz’s Saddle Seat Equitation Morgan, “King Lehr’s Friar Tuck,” is trained at Eric Antman’s and Austin Eversman’s Majestic Farms,
World Champion Victoria Walz which is located in San Marcos. She is instructed at Majestic Farms by Anne Speck. This group is preparing Walz and “Tuck” for the Morgan World Championships next month in Oklahoma City. Walz and her “western” Morgan, “Knolltops Heir Apparent,” are being readied
HOWARD SCHATZBERG
also for the Morgan Grand Nationals at Tom Tornatore’s and Darcy Attig’s River Run Farm in Lakeside as well. Walz won several classes and championships with these two horses last year at the Morgan Grand Nationals and now is working toward even better results in 2017.

VisionNow event in Encinitas will feature the arts Join Rancho Santa Fe Foundation donors and friends for a conversation about the arts in San Diego. Leaders of local arts organizations will address their role in the community, challenges their organizations are facing, and trends they see in the future. The event will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 3 at RSF Foundation’s Community Room, 162. S. Rancho Santa Fe Rd., Suite B-40, Encinitas 92024 and will begin at 5:30 p.m. The panelists are Barry Edelstein, artistic director at The Old Globe, Maria Mingalone, executive director of Oceanside Museum of Art, and Kristin Lancino, president and artistic director at La Jolla Music Society. Join the discussion on topics, trends, and challenges related to the Arts in San Diego. Refreshments will be served. Barry Edelstein is a stage director, producer, author, and educator who serves as the Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director of The Old Globe, and is recognized as one of the leading American authorities on the works of Shakespeare. His Globe directing credits include The Winter’s Tale, Othello, The Twenty-seventh Man, the world premiere of Rain, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, and Hamlet. He also directed All’s Well That Ends Well as the inaugural production of the Globe for All community tour. Edelstein has taught Shakespearean acting at The Juilliard School, New York University’s Graduate Acting Program, and the University of Southern California. His book Thinking Shakespeare is the standard text on American Shakespearean acting. Trained as an artist, Maria Mingalone’s nontraditional background allowed her to develop a flexibility of mind that
constantly seeks creative expression, an instinct to respond to the unexpected, and a talent for making something beautiful out of nothing. These qualities, added to years of experience as an institutional leader, professional administrator, trained museum educator and curator, empower her to envision the potential in people and things, and the ability to take ideas and make them a reality. Kristin Lancino has a profound understanding of the performing arts, with experience in management, artistic administration and operations. As President and Artistic Director of La Jolla Music Society, Lancino oversees their artistic and educational initiatives as well as the construction and strategic planning for their new hall, The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center. Lancino has a long history in the industry and has served as Executive Director of IMG Artists, overseeing the Artist Management divisions for North and South America, Vice-President for G. Schirmer Inc., Interim Artistic Director for Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and Director of Artistic Planning at Carnegie Hall. VisionNow at RSF Foundation highlights activities that donors are engaged in, putting their charitable vision for a brighter future into action today. RSF Foundation believes that a shared vision for addressing needs and changing lives can make real and lasting impact in the community. VisionNow events are free to attend.

BY PAM KRAGEN Hoping to cash in on the excitement of horse racing’s premiere event, the Breeders’ Cup series in Del Mar in November, a weeklong festival of events, has been recently announced. The Breeders’ Cup World Championships, being presented for the first time at the Del Mar Racetrack on Nov. 3 and 4, is the high-stakes, year-end championship for the thoroughbred racing season. The two-day series will include 13 Grade 1 races featuring more than 150 horses from 13 countries. The purses and awards for the weekend will total more than $28 million. Over the past 33 years, the Cup has moved mostly between Santa Anita and Churchill Downs, with 10 other stops at Belmont Park, Gulfstream Park and the former Hollywood Park. Becoming a Cup host is a coup for Del Mar. Last year’s Breeders’ Cup weekend at Santa Anita drew more than 72,000 racing fans. The just-announced Breeders’ Cup Festival of events will run Oct. 28 through Nov. 4 and includes poker and golf tournaments, concerts and art shows, galas and viewing parties. The festival was organized by the San Diego Tourism Authority, San Diego Sports Alliance and race Host Committee. “With such a vibrant host-site for the Breeders’ Cup, we want to highlight all that San Diego has to offer, from the city’s exceptional cuisine to its stunning scenery,” said Stefanie Palmieri, Breeders’ Cup vice president of events, in a statement. Unless otherwise noted, details on events can be found at breederscupfestival.com. Here’s the lineup:

Popular Encinitas Oktoberfest returns Oct. 1
World-renowned scholar, philosopher and researcher in New Thought coming Oct. 13-15 Seaside Center for Spiritual Living will host world-recognized scholar, philosopher, author and spiritual teacher Jean Houston, Ph.D. Oct. 13-15 in her only live appearance in Southern California this year. Houston, now 80, followed by millions and respected by teachers such as Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton and Joe Dispenza among countless others, will deliver a powerful evening presentation Oct. 13, from 7-10 p.m. on the hidden potential of good in all life situations and events (VIP starts at 6 p.m., doors open at 5:45 p.m.). This one evening, which is expected to sell out weeks before, dovetails a weekend workshop Oct. 14-15 – both of which will be at Seaside Center for Spiritual Living in Encinitas. In both events, Houston invites you to learn the principles of quantum physics and how it interplays with the world of archetypes and
mythic possibilities. All in attendance will learn new tools to create a profound, new experience of the world at a time when so many are challenged to do just that. She will discuss “The Ways You Might Be Sabotaging Your Success & Happiness Without Realizing It”; “Tools for Practical Spirituality”; “How to Recognize Your True Soul Accomplishments”; “Techniques for Creating Instant Soul Shifts from the Inside Out.” The events will begin at 7 p.m., Oct. 13, at Seaside’s North County location in Encinitas. A limited number of VIP tickets are available that include light food, beverages, reserved parking, preferred seating and a reception with Houston and the opportunity to speak directly with her as she signs books. The VIP reception begins at 5:45 p.m. More information and tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/2f5QbP0
Pultizer Prize-winning journalist to speak Legendary and controversial Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Carl Bernstein will appear at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. Bernstein will deliver his “thoughtful, hard-hitting, and bitingly humorous analysis of today’s political landscape with a focus on U.S. presidents from Nixon to Clinton, Obama to Trump, and everyone in between,” according to a press release. Bernstein, along with his reporting
partner Bob Woodward, unraveled the mysteries of the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s. Their reporting for the Washington Post, chronicled in their best-selling book and the Oscar-winning film All the President’s Men, toppled the Nixon presidency and forever changed the way the world looks at politics and politicians. Address: 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. For tickets, visit bit.ly/2xsOHsv or call the JCC Box Office: 858-362-1348. All seats reserved.
The Encinitas Oktoberfest, hosted by the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce, is returning for its 22nd year this fall on Sunday, Oct. 1 from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Mountain Vista Drive and El Camino Real.

BY LINDA MCINTOSH The Girl Uplifters Team (G.U.T), a group of girls, including several young Hollywood stars, are set on sharing their antidote to bullying at a G.U.T Gathering on Sept. 24 in Del Mar. The event, the first of its kind for the group, will kick off its mission to help young girls practice ways to uplift themselves and others instead of fostering negative thinking and put downs. Exercises include singing, music, breathing, yoga and positive thinking. Participants also find out how uplifting it can be to be part of a community by creating the first portion of a global fundraising art project that will eventually cover a football field. Several young Hollywood TV and movie stars, who are part of the group’s team of ambassadors, are slated to join the event, including Maya Le Clark from Nickelodeon’s “The Thundermans” (and daughter of G.U.T co-founder Aimee Le Zakrewski Clark) along with

positivity and kindness after witnessing challenges young girls face during their elementary school years, such as bullying, feeling left out and not knowing what to do when they feel upset or stressed. “I’ve seen girls pushing other girls down emotionally and mentally, but here they learn how to lift each other up,” said Clark, a marriage and family therapist based in Sorrento Valley.

record 600 guests attended San Diego Botanic Garden’s annual Gala in the Garden Sept. 9, dubbed “A Night in Nature.” Generous friends of the Garden donated more than $300,000 towards the fund-a-need in support of the Dickinson Family Education Conservatory. This new facility, located just north of the Hamilton Children’s Garden, is now under construction and opening in 2018. The funds raised virtually completed the $5.3 million campaign while setting a record for funds raised at any prior gala. This amount does not include underwriting support from sponsors, ticket sales and silent auction proceeds that amounted to $200,000 in additional revenue raised to help cover event costs. President and CEO Julian Duval shared, “The Garden was pleased to recognize Ann Hunter-Welborn and David Welborn with the 2017 Paul Ecke, Jr. Award because of their steadfast generosity to the community. We were also humbled to receive such a wonderful response to our fund-a-need appeal for closing out the campaign.” Online: rsfreview

Hall Private Wealth Advisors values integrity, putting clients’ interests first company retirement plans. “Generally, they are all looking for preservation and fairness,” Hall said. “We provide concierge level service to our clients.” Hall has developed a proprietary key performance indicators snapshot that helps clients pay attention to what’s happening in their portfolios. “If you’ve ever had a big bank account statement, it can be over 20 pages and it’s quite complicated,” Hall said. “We sought out a way to educate clients about what they should be paying attention to…they find it very helpful.” Hall said he finds that about 80 percent of professional fund managers continually underperform versus the S&P500 and their respective benchmarks, due to excessive hidden fees and bad management. “It’s becoming common sense that the S&P is a low-cost option, accessible to all investors — so you’ve got investors throwing in the towel and recognizing that they’re better off taking an index fund approach,” Hall said. “Our shop offers robo-advisor-like fees, with full service and a hands-on approach. Our clients appreciate having someone to call about life events and changes to their financial picture.” Since opening, the team at Hall Private Wealth Advisors has grown to six full-time employees, with over 100 years of combined experience between them. “I’m blessed to have an amazing team around me, good people with good integrity,”
Hall said. “We’ve got a big variety of experience so there is a depth of knowledge, and we also all think alike. We value transparency, simplicity, ethics and alignment and putting our clients’ interests first.” Hall is also involved in the San Diego Tech Coast Angels, an angel investment group. An entrepreneur of a tech start-up years ago, Hall has served as a board member for four years and is a coach for the Quick Pitch competition at Qualcomm Hall in Sorrento Valley on Oct. 5. Known as one of the most recognized angel investor events in the nation, entrepreneurs give their pitches to a panel of judges and an audience of investors, business leaders and community leaders select the winners. Ten company finalists receive coaching and the top three winners are awarded a combined amount of $50,000 in cash. “It has been incredibly enlightening to me, to learn firsthand how companies are funded and conceived and all of the different aspects it takes to start a company and make it work. It’s been a wonderful experience to be involved in that community,” Hall said. “It’s been a privilege to meet some of San Diego’s best entrepreneurs and angel investors.” Hall Private Wealth Advisors is located at 462 Stevens Avenue, Suite 105, in Solana Beach.

me,” Hall said. “The clients we have are like family to us.” What sets Hall Private Wealth apart is its money management style, leaning toward “deep value discipline.” Hall understands that clients have concerns about market changes, the geopolitical climate and future economic meltdowns. “We find value in almost any environment,” Hall said. “We’re very focused on preservation and making sure that we capture returns during the good times, while protecting during the bad times. Our deep value approach — finding hidden values — gives clients peace-of-mind knowing that we aren’t just jumping on the bandwagon.” The son of a civil engineer, Hall grew up overseas in exotic places such as Pakistan, Trinidad, Puerto Rico and Mexico City — he attended high school in Long Island and college in Western New York before moving to San Diego in 1990 to start his career at PaineWebber. He spent 18 years as the senior vice president of PaineWebber (later acquired by UBS) before moving his practice to Morgan Stanley, where he spent seven additional years. After 25 years he decided to open his own office, focusing on high net worth clientele. Hall said the practice’s primary focus is asset management, noting many of his clients have undergone liquidity events — senior executives at publicly traded companies or founders who’ve had multiple exits.

This has led to some wonderful new client referrals to our firm.” Hall said he gets a great sense of satisfaction helping clients who come to him with problems he can help find Russell Hall solutions for. “People that come to us are generally unhappy with portfolio results and they’re starting to distrust in the relationship they have with their broker,” Hall said. “They’re tired of underperformance, not understanding what they own and paying excessive fees — they simply want integrity in the relationship that they have with their advisor.” At Hall Private Wealth, Hall said they take the time to really understand clients’ objectives, ensuring that portfolios are structured and aligned with their clients’ needs. He aims to keep the practice’s relationships with clients collaborative and transparent. “Relationships are what it’s all about for

FROM SPECIAL ED, A2 Miller clarified that he has only worked with the suggested facilitator in committee meetings, she was never a colleague. He also said he was only directed to form the task force, he said it was not the direction of the board to involve parent input in the facilitator selection. In response to parents saying that there was too much staff and not enough parents on the task force, SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill noted that the task force meetings will be open meetings and there will be opportunity for
FROM ELECTIONS, A1 whether to implement four districts with an at-large mayor or five districts with a rotating mayor. Residents at the Sept. 20 hearing expressed their dissatisfaction with the move to district elections. Many said they believed the claims Shenkman made in his letter are dubious since Encinitas does not have a large Latino population or related issues. According to the 2010 census, 14 percent of Encinitas' population is Latino. In Palmdale — the only city to fight Shenkman in court before ultimately losing the battle — nearly 59 percent of its residents identify as Latino, according to the census. Further, residents argued, there are no concentrated areas of Latinos in Encinitas, and breaking the city up into districts could actually make it harder for a Latino representative to be elected. Former Mayor Sheila Cameron believes the city should fight the matter in court and hire a legal team to analyze "both sides of the coin." Right now, she said, the consultant the city hired is solely focusing on how to move to district elections, rather than what a court battle could look like. One resident, who said he recently moved to Encinitas from North Carolina, said his former town went through a similar battle. He said Encinitas should protect itself from being "divided by extortionists."

comment and input. After some board discussion, the board agreed to find other candidates for the facilitator contract. “I rarely get involved in micromanaging and who you all hire, the only reason I’m going to make this statement now is because of the abysmal track record this district has had with students with special needs,” board member John Salazar said. “We just saw the $500,000 catastrophe we went through with the ATP students, we’ve put these parents and children through so much stress….If it doesn’t start good, it won’t end good. I think we should just get
a few other candidates and let them have some involvement in this.” SDUHSD Board President Amy Herman initially said she was concerned about delaying the work of the task force and from the recommendation, it seemed like the selected facilitator was a good fit. However, after listening to public input, Herman said she would be willing to table the selection of the recommended facilitator and bring forward different candidates. “I want this to work,” Herman said. “I want to regain the trust of the special education community.”
"I'm just a small little country boy who knows all you gotta do is go after some money," he said. "They say they're concerned about Hispanics but I think this is all about money." However, Mayor Catherine Blakespear contended the city should not fight the battle in court. She said no city has won a legal action lawsuit regarding this, and Encinitas would be a "test city." In a city document, city staff said if Encinitas were to defend a potential lawsuit, the defense costs and attorneys' fees would likely exceed $1 million, with additional exposure exceeding $1 million for plaintiff attorney fees should the city not prevail. The city should instead focus spending on other projects, such as road improvements and safety downtown, Blakespear said. "You gotta know when to hold them and when to fold them," she said. "Our current system is good and working, but that doesn't mean other systems can't work, too." Encinitas residents can visit the city's website, at bit.ly/2xTEF4R, to draw their ideas of district boundary maps. A workshop will also be held Oct. 7 at Cardiff Elementary School, where people can learn more information about the transition and share how they think the boundaries should look. The city is expected to adopt a map at a Nov. 15 meeting. Districts will be implemented in the November 2018 or November 2020 election.
Council member Joe Mosca suggested at the Sept. 6 council meeting that the city's best option could be horizontal districts from east to west so each council member represents important corridors such as Coast Highway 101 and El Camino Real. He also wanted to avoid people solely identifying with coastal and inland living. Steven Winters, of Olivenhain, at the Sept. 20 hearing, said horizontal-based districts would "disrespect communities of interest" in the north and south. Planning Commissioner Kevin Doyle, of Leucadia, agreed, adding "homogenous strips would result in homogenous representatives.” He said Encinitas does not have nearly as many Latino residents as other cities that did not initially comply with Shenkman’s demands. Shenkman has targeted many cities around California to move from at-large elections to district elections. In San Diego County, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Poway and Vista recently made the moves to district elections to avoid litigation from Shenkman. The city of Huntington Beach has expressed interest in fighting Shenkman in court. Huntington Beach City Attorney Michael Gates contends Latinos in the coastal Orange County city can be "adequately represented in an at-large system, partly because the vast majority of Latino residents are not concentrated in certain areas of the city," he said in a Daily Pilot newspaper interview.

Encinitas is not for sale Awhile back, I attended a San Dieguito Academy alumni luncheon. There was well over 100 attendees. The alumni conversations revolved around their families. The alums were proud of their children and sometimes their children’s children becoming future Mustangs. When I was walking back to my car, I was reflecting on the conversations I had heard. Alums were talking about dinner with their extended families, going to the beach for a walk, attending their grandkids’ soccer game and many more connected activities. This is not a transient population. Families have planted deep roots here. We live in a multi-generational community that is thriving. People move here from all over the country to raise their children here. I am so glad that I am raising my family here. Why would you ever want that to change? Well, it may change. There is a policy proposal coming before the City of Encinitas. Whether to grow marijuana, sell marijuana or have pot dispensaries. The subcommittee meeting is Sept. 28. No matter what policy is put into place, every adult can have six marijuana plants. Also, medicinal marijuana will always be accessible to those who need it. I also have heard from pro marijuana proponents, at Encinitas City Council meetings, that we should let marijuana grow roots in our community too. They have all these contradictory arguments about
FROM FOUNDATIONS, A1 the foundations have been raised over the last few months, but he couldn’t thank the parents enough for the opportunities that the foundation provides for all students. “Our foundations are the envy of other school districts in the county; they wish they had the type of parent support we do,” Dill said. “It’s amazing. One of the reasons why I’ve stayed here for 16 years is because of what I see in this room and the relationships that we have with our parents.” Perhaps the most ardent foundation supporters at the meeting were members of the Canyon Crest Academy Speech and Debate Team. Team president Kevin Li said before partnering with the CCA Foundation, they were being held back — the foundation helped streamline their club fundraising process which has allowed them to be a highly-competitive, nationally-recognized team, allowing every team member to travel to tournaments and to fund their coach Michael Orfield, a retired Superior Court judge. The foundation has also helped them with community service outreach in low-income neighborhoods and to put on a middle school summer camp, raising $8,600 for their program. “Without foundations, clubs like ours wouldn’t be allowed to function how they are,” said senior Jennifer Tang. Bob Zimmer, the chief financial officer for the San Dieguito High School Academy Foundation, said it has been hurtful to hear the “ridiculous” statements about the efforts of foundations, noting one comment equated a “heavy-handed” fundraising effort to the Spanish Inquisition. He said he is grateful for the positive experiences he’s had at SDA and he believes everything the foundation has done has been transparent and upstanding. “The support of the foundation is not just monetary, I think the foundations across the district

A friend once told me that if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu. I was disappointed my colleagues supported the bill designed to restructure SANDAG (AB805). This bill has little to do with fixing internal issues, which is currently being addressed by their board. But, it does have everything to do with jurisdictional control and power. The bill is currently waiting for the Governor’s signature or veto. If this bill becomes law, control over SANDAG’s related items, and particularly transportation, shifts to the hands of
the cities of San Diego and Chula Vista. There is no other county in California where this much power has been consolidated in the hands of the larger entities. The smaller cities will lose meaningful input and their basic reason for existence on SANDAG. This would be like smaller states giving all of their power to the bigger states. Should the U.S. Senate be reduced to only New York and California? The whole idea of a bicameral legislature is that the House is weighted by population, while the Senate is equal vote for all states. No other city in the county except those that benefit, Chula Vista and San Diego, supports this bill. The current dual voting methodology at SANDAG was effected by SANDAG member agencies in the early 2000s to balance the influence of the larger and smaller jurisdictions and recognize the population differences between local municipalities. The new bill will make the smaller agencies irrelevant on countywide transportation planning and funding. This is a massive overreach from Sacramento modifying local, regional decision-making. Most people will agree that this bill was driven by partisan politics. The problem is that every partisan person within Encinitas and other small cities loses their place at the table. Mark Muir Encinitas City Council member
help to build community and you can’t put a dollar value on that,” Zimmer said. Torrey Pines High School parent Beth Westburg said there has been a lot of misinformation in the community about her motives as she has been one of those parents asking questions about foundation operations. “I want to make it perfectly clear that it is not my goal to shut down or close the foundations,” Westburg said. “I believe that foundations provide needed funds to school districts in order to improve the educational experience for their students.” She thanked all foundation members for their time, money and hard work. “My only request or ‘agenda’ is that all our institutions, including the district and the foundations, operate within the realm of purposefulness, integrity and the spirit and letter of the applicable laws and regulations that pertain to these entities,” Westburg said. Wendy Gumb, who has filed complaints regarding the role of foundation fundraising on district athletics, also stressed she did not want to shut foundations down: “I believe in foundations,” she said. “I think they are a good opportunity to raise money, it just needs to be done in the right way.” The board members all responded with enthusiastic thank yous for the district’s academic and athletic boosters, who enrich the student experience for all students. Trustee John Salazar said he doesn’t think anyone opposes the foundations, he just wants to ensure that they are following the law. Dill said there have been questions regarding the district’s oversight of the foundations and Dill reiterated that the foundations are “school-connected organizations,” separate from the district. He said they operate independently but they do work with the district “side by side and hand in hand.” Dill said they communicate often — principals work closely with the boards and
executive director and coaches work with parent liaisons as they set mutual goals about what they would like to fund and what the foundations are willing and able to support. Each foundation has its own board and does its own decision-making — Dill said in his 16 years with the district he has given the foundations lots of advice but he has never made a decision for them. Matt Weil, the vice president of administration on the CCA Foundation board, ran for his post and is charge of the governance committee making sure the board runs with integrity and with “appropriate” transparency. “I can assure you there’s no pay to play in our case because my daughter doesn’t play anything,” Weil said. “We’re here for their broader good of the whole community.” In response to complaints regarding some fundraising tactics, the district has held legal training with staff, foundation members and parents. Dill said they plan to replicate that legal training three times a year with the different sports seasons. He acknowledged that mistakes have been made regarding “the ask” but he said that the intent of the training was to get everyone on the same page regarding donations so that the message to parents is always clear and consistent that donations are voluntary. Heather Dugdale, the president of the Earl Warren Middle School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) and a Torrey Pines High cheer and gymnastics booster, said the legal training was extremely helpful as a parent, donor and volunteer. “Not one person I’ve met or spoken to has malicious or self-interested motives. It is important that you know all people come from a place of how to do best for our kids and our district,” Dugdale said. “We may have differences of opinion as to our ideas for the best approach but no one has come from a place of malice. I hope that after all this, all parties can come together.”
the use of marijuana. But we all know the effects of marijuana. These people do not live in Encinitas. They do not know what a paradise Encinitas is. Give me one good reason how growing, selling and pot dispensaries would benefit the whole community? My message to these self-promoting, money-hungry profiteers – The community of Encinitas is not for sale. Maureen “Mo” Muir San Dieguito Union High School District board member

www.encinitasadvocate.com FROM THEATRE, A1 over the classes — Jacob grew out of his shell. Jacob, now 21, says he’s become better at thinking on his feet and arranging his thoughts. "I kind of stopped with my fixation of not being a part of things because I realized that if you just keep staying on the sidelines, then a lot of things will pass you by," he said, adding he was eventually assigned a leading role as the Genie in a production of "Aladdin.” Over the years, Campion said she has seen Jacob grow from a boy who refused to look at others as he spoke to a man with an assertiveness and openness about him. "Often people with autism are interested and gifted in the arts, and mastering an art provides them with an ally that helps them deal with the daily challenges of living with autism," she said. "Theatre is all about social interaction. It provides ongoing opportunities to observe and practice the art of relating to others. The performing arts is a natural setting that builds camaraderie and brings people isolated by autism
ENCINITAS ADVOCATE - SEPTEMBER 22, 2017 - PAGE A23
back into interaction with their peers." But the arts can also help in other situations, she said. In addition to the acting classes for young people on the autism spectrum, it also offers experiences such as mock job interviews and singing and dancing lessons, each for nominal fees. (PACT programs are funded by a grant from the city of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation Community Grant Program.) In more recent years, the group has also began tackling a subject every young person can relate to: bullying. Campion assigned Sandy to lead the efforts, when the unnamed program was still being developed. At first, Sandy admitted she had to research and learn about bullying. Then, the experience became personal for her as Rachael confided in her about her own bullying. As Sandy developed the program, eventually named Beyond Bullying, Rachael became an integral member, helping with the demonstrations at middle schools and high schools across San Diego. The hour-and-a-half-long
presentations include humorous original skits, video clips and quotes. Rachael, 15, said her goal is to let people know bullying is a problem that hasn't been solved. "Even if you've been bullied, you've probably bullied someone in your life without even knowing it," she said. "People just don't understand the impact of their words." Jacob, who now helps lead the improvisation classes, said he wants people to understand that those on the spectrum should not be treated differently because of their condition. "I honestly don't like having the whole title of Asperger’s syndrome anymore because I feel that I no longer want that to apply to me anymore," he said. "Not to demean the title of Asperger’s, but I don't think people fully understand it. Autism has a bit of a bad rep. I want to show that I'm really no different than any other person."
