RSF School District shares state testing scores BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District outperformed the county and state in the 2016-17 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CASPP) Smarter Balanced tests. The Smarter Balanced tests are given to students third through eighth grade and eleven. Each test, English language arts and math, is comprised of a computer adaptive test and a performance task. The test also looks at student performance in “claims,” such as reading, writing, listening, research/inquiry in English language arts and problem solving and data analysis, concepts and procedures, and communicating reasoning in math. Principals Kim Pinkerton and Garrett Corduan presented the test results to the Rancho Santa Fe School board at its Nov. 2 meeting, sharing the

Comparing Rowe elementary to the neighboring district’s third through fifth grade scores only, its 86 percent met and exceeding ELA standards stood up to Solana Beach School District’s 86 percent, 85 percent of Del Mar Union School District and 75 percent in the Encinitas Union School District. In math, both Rancho Santa Fe and Del Mar had 84 percent met or exceed standards, Solana Beach had 82 percent and Encinitas had 73 percent.

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association is joining homeowners associations and cities across the state in considering prohibiting vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods. At its Nov. 2 meeting, the board approved posting the proposed new rental regulations for a 30-day public comment period. The board will then consider adopting the rules at its Dec. 7 meeting. RSF Association Manager Bob Hall said the rule seeks to address “transient types” of rental uses, growing in popularity for travelers as well as homeowners looking to make extra money. “Homeowners are realizing that it can be much more profitable to rent their home for thousands of dollars a night using a site like Airbnb or HomeAway versus a regular rental arrangement,” Hall said. Hall said he is aware of at least one property in the SEE VACATION RENTALS, A18

Rancho Santa Fe School District news Consultants say transparency, dialogue will help a school bond effort for 2018 BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board continues to look toward addressing future needs, as it works on updating the facilities master plan and explores the possibility of a general obligation bond in 2018. In a 4-1 vote on Nov. 2, the board approved forming a non-standing advisory committee to conduct interviews of potential architects to refresh the master plan. The request for qualified proposals for architects has gone out and responses are due back by Nov. 14. Interviews would be

conducted the week after Thanksgiving. Board member Sarah Neal voted against forming the committee until after the board holds a strategic planning session and gets a full grasp of the district’s facilities needs. Board Vice President Tyler Seltzer said that having the dialogue with the architects about the condition of the gym, no matter what decision it leads to, will be helpful. He volunteered to serve on the advisory committee along with new board member Jon Yonemitsu. The board’s team building and

planning session is upcoming as the board approved a contract for a facilitator Suzette Lovely to work with them. Neal elected to abstain from the vote on the facilitator as she is opposed to the process at this time. Last month, Neal was also the sole board member to vote against the feasibility study for the bond, as well as issuing a request for qualifications and proposals for the architectural firm. As the board continues its information gathering on a potential bond effort, they heard presentations from two consulting

groups, Tom Shepard and Associates and TBWB Strategies and TrueNorth Research, that could potentially help with community outreach in the form of a survey and then help with advocacy and a campaign if a bond moves forward to the November 2018 ballot. To pass a bond, the district would need 55 percent approval. The last time they ran a survey about a bond for a new school gym in 2014, 54.3 percent were opposed to any gym project and then-Superintendent Lindy Delaney advised against going SEE SCHOOL BOND, A16

Osuna Adobe honored on National Register of Historic Places BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Osuna Adobe was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places as one of the oldest historic adobes in California. The National Register, administered by the National Park Service part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, is the official list of buildings and sites that are worthy of preservation due to their significance in American history, architecture and culture. The adobe, located on the Rancho Santa Fe Association-owned Osuna Ranch on Via de Santa Fe, dates back to the 1830s and was home to the first mayor of San Diego. After the adobe fell into disrepair in the 1920s, it was remodeled by Rancho Santa Fe architect Lilian Rice. RSF Association Board President Fred Wasserman acknowledged Association horticulturist Caitlin Kreutz for her work in finally receiving the historical designation, a process that has been in the works for several years. The historic designation is just one way in which the overall Osuna Ranch has been enhanced this year. “2017 was a great year for the ranch as we were able to catch up on some major deferred maintenance projects,”

CAITLIN KREUTZ

Rancho Santa Fe’s Osuna Adobe was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places. The Osuna Ranch has also undergone some major improvements this year. said Kreutz during an update at the Nov. 2 RSF Association board meeting. Kreutz said the main barn was painted, large landscaping projects were completed due to a grant from the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club and they updated the footing in the riding arena making it “one of the best in the area.” Last

month the Association additionally approved $25,000 out of the Osuna’s unrestricted reserve fund to replace the property’s fencing, which hasn’t been repaired or replaced in 20 years. The RSF Garden Club’s Farm-to-Table Dinner and Silent Auction on Sept. 23 raised $7,000 for the Amigos de Osuna restoration fund, to help preserve the important piece of Ranch history, according to Kreutz. The next big project at the Osuna Ranch is another landscaping effort made possible by a grant from the RSF Garden Club. A “picturesque” node with seating for visitors will be built on the west end of the property and they will also extend the trail around the perimeter of the ranch. “It’s going to look really sharp out there. It’s a really a great community asset that I think is under-used,” Kreutz said, inviting the community out to enjoy the ranch. The property is available for picnicking, tours, special events or other uses.

RSF School District, teachers complete negotiations

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association and the Rancho Santa Fe School District were able to reach an agreement, closing contract negotiations for the 2017-2018 school year. The agreement was ratified by the school board at its Nov. 2 meeting. The board agreed to a one-time, on-salary schedule payment equal to 2 percent for classified and certificated employees as well as a one-time 2 percent on-salary schedule payment for both employee groups. District contributions to

health care also increased, which the teachers association had been advocating for as many teachers said they struggle with the amount deducted to cover their family members’ health insurance. The contract language regarding maternity leave was also updated to reflect current government code. With the increases, the district projects the total cost of the agreements to the general fund to be $439,250 in 2017-18 and $411,540 ongoing. The district’s negotiation team and the

RSF Faculty Association met five times to negotiate — the faculty association’s proposal included a 5 percent on-schedule increase to the salary schedule plus additional health benefit contributions. As negotiations continued, teachers spoke out at board meetings and demonstrated by wearing red and walking unified into campus together. “I am hopeful that with new school board members along with our new superintendent, future negotiations will continually improve in terms of

transparency and become less contentious,” said Amanda Valentine, president of the faculty association.

Restroom to replace porta potty at Richardson Field

RED HUBER/ORLANDO SENTINEL

Todd Macaluso was at one time part of the defense team for Casey Anthony, who was accused of killing her daughter. She was acquitted. Macaluso was convicted Friday, Nov. 3, of a cocaine-smuggling conspiracy.

Disbarred Rancho Santa Fe attorney convicted in scheme to fly cocaine load BY KRISTINA DAVIS A disbarred Rancho Santa Fe attorney on probation for a San Diego-based fraud scheme was found guilty by a Brooklyn, N.Y., jury Friday, Nov. 3, of conspiring to fly a private plane loaded with more than 3,000 pounds of cocaine. Todd Macaluso, an experienced pilot, was arrested last November in Haiti along with two other men as the smuggling flight was in the final planning stages. The plane was to pick up cocaine in Ecuador then unload in Honduras, according to the complaint

filed in New York federal court. Macaluso has maintained his innocence, saying that he believed the chartered flight was to explore a real estate venture, and has accused the government of misconduct. Macaluso gained prominence earlier in his career for his high-award verdicts, as well as for his famous — or infamous — clients. He was part of the defense team of Casey Anthony, the young Florida mother charged with killing her toddler daughter in 2011. Anthony was acquitted, and news reports SEE COCAINE, A17

BY KAREN BILLING The porta potty at Rancho Santa Fe’s Richardson Field will be gone for good as the Rancho Santa Fe Association board has approved the construction of a permanent restroom facility. At the Nov. 2 RSF Association board meeting, the board approved an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the new restroom inside the snack bar on the fields on Rambla De Las Flores. RSF resident Rory Kendall got the project rolling over a year ago, issuing a complaint to the trails and recreation committee. Kendall noted that the ever-present porta potty facility that had been there for years seemed to be out of compliance with Covenant regulations and, at the very least, was not up to standards for Rancho Santa Fe. According to Field Manager Arnold Keene, the effort to replace the porta potty began to gain some steam with more Covenant members requesting a permanent, more aesthetically-pleasing solution. Sharon Ruhnau and Daniel Bunn of the Association’s trails and recreation committee helped lead a study of a variety of options for the site and found the least challenging one to be building one uni-sex restroom in the existing snack bar building at the fields. The project will include the installation of a pump sewer system and making about a 200-foot connection to the sewer line on Los Morros, on the other side of the creek. Keene

said once approved, he would like to get started on the project as soon as possible. Richardson is home to RSF Little League’s meticulously maintained baseball diamonds and is also used by youth and men’s soccer leagues, flag football, rugby and lacrosse. In order for sports leagues to use the fields they must have a minimum number of Covenant residents in the program. Permits are only issued to Covenant members. If the program does not meet the 30 percent Covenant threshold, it is a different permit that is required — the programs that meet the Covenant requirement get priority for field use, as per trails and recreation policy. There is no cost associated with the permits currently, however RSF Association President Fred Wasserman said they might consider having a fee to help cover the $60,000 yearly cost to maintain the restroom facility. In deciding whether to approve the expenditure, Wasserman weighed whether the Association could absorb the cost of taking on the project, considering the limited dollars they have to spend and the overall amount of projects they want to address in the community. During public comment earlier in the meeting, former board director Mike Licosati reiterated his concerns that since his resignation, the board has “zero voice” representing the third of the community SEE RESTROOM, A17

“I can enjoy living in the Ranch with all the convenience of apartment living.”

KELLEY CARLSON

Gun Runner, with Florent Geroux aboard, won the $6 million, Grade I Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar on Saturday, Nov. 4.

Breeders’ Cup a success at Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON Gun Runner, with Florent Geroux aboard, made a strong case for Horse of the Year honors with a 2 1/4-length victory in the $6 million, Grade I Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar on Saturday, Nov. 4. TVG Pacific Classic hero Collected came in second, while West Coast, owned by Gary and Mary West of Rancho Santa Fe, rounded out the top three. Defending champion and race favorite Arrogate finished in a dead heat for fifth.

The race served as the finale of the two-day Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, which was hosted by Del Mar for the first time. “Del Mar, its staff and the community of San Diego absolutely shone for this Breeders’ Cup,” said Joe Harper, president and general manager of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “I could not be more proud of the effort that was put forth by everyone at our racetrack and all the folks SEE BREEDERS’ CUP, A17

Breeders’ Cup CEO: ‘We have to come back’ to Del Mar BY TOD LEONARD Over the weekend of the Breeders’ Cup, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club CEO and President Joe Harper heard it often. “Why don’t they have the Breeders’ Cup here every year?” That both pleased Harper and raised the hair on the back of his neck. Holding the 34th Breeders’ Cup had been the biggest undertaking in the history of DMTC. The thought of turning it all around in 12 months could have sent Harper into early retirement. As Harper points out, horse racing’s world championships were meant to travel around to produce excitement among various racing communities. As it is, the event will return to Churchill Downs in 2018 for the ninth time. However, the enthusiastic, if naïve, questions for Harper confirmed what he had hoped: Many people involved in this year’s Breeders’ Cup, from owners to fans to area merchants, want to see the event come back. It appears very likely that will happen. “My preliminary read is that it’s a place we have to come back to,” Craig Fravel, CEO and president of the Breeders’ Cup, said Sunday afternoon, Nov. 5. “I got 20 emails from people saying that it was a home run,” he said. “The overall experience was great. “So many people hadn’t been here before. And to have that kind of sunshine-y day (on Saturday), that was the icing on the cake. It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day at Del Mar.” When the Breeders’ Cup returns depends on how the next few years’ schedules shake

out. After Churchill, the Breeders’ Cup could return to the West Coast at Santa Anita. Then it might go back East, possibly to New York if some political issues are worked out. New York hasn’t had a Breeders’ Cup since 2005 at Belmont Park. Or it could return to Keeneland, in Kentucky, which had a successful first hosting in 2015. What clearly is coveted is the West Coast television time, which put Saturday’s Classic on NBC in prime time in the East and Midwest. So if the Breeders’ Cup wants to return to the West Coast in, say, 2021, Del Mar would be happy to have it. (That would make for a big event year in San Diego, with Torrey Pines hosting the 2021 U.S. Open.) “I would think somewhere around that (’21) would work, if they still like us,” Harper said. “Obviously, we’ll be honored to put it on any year they want.” Fravel said he heard almost all positives from around the track, with the biggest glitch being a bottleneck at the entry gates Friday due to security measures. Those were addressed and the wait was reduced Saturday, he said. From the trainers and various workers on the backstretch, “I didn’t hear a single complaint from anybody,” Fravel said. Betting is the lifeblood of racing, and in that regard the Breeders’ Cup was never more successful than at Del Mar. According to Breeders’ Cup officials, the two-day, on-track wagering total was $25,181,317 — the highest ever for the event, which was expanded from one day to two in 2007. That handle was a 21.4 percent increase over the two-day total SEE BREEDERS’ CUP CEO, A18

Rescue Express owner Mike McCarthy with two of his fleet and one of his eight rescue dogs. KAREN BILLING

Saving animals’ lives:

Rescue Express finds a new home in Rancho Santa Fe

BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Mike McCarthy is the founder and heart of Rescue Express, saving lives by transporting animals from overpopulated and high-kill shelters in Southern California to rescue groups who find them forever homes in the Pacific Northwest. The nonprofit subsidiary of MGM Animal Foundation provides freedom rides for pets free of charge in a fleet of three big red buses that can hold up to 200 animals safely and humanely. Since 2015, Rescue Express has transported almost 13,000 animals. With the addition of two buses to the fleet in 2016, McCarthy said there is a real possibility they will meet 20,000 animals transported by next year. New to Rancho Santa Fe from Eugene, Ore., Rescue Express is hosting an open house on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at the Rescue Express Ranch at 6715 Lago Lindo, Rancho Santa Fe. From 4-7 p.m. guests can enjoy a light meal, meet the staff, tour the buses and learn about how the group is working toward a future in which no animals are euthanized due to a community’s inability to care for them. A retired software engineer, McCarthy had his own computer science and accounting system consulting practice that he sold in 1998. He always had a love for animals and after selling his company, he went to work for animal rescues, whether it was helping rescue groups to improve their fundraising efforts or making contributions to help them meet facility needs or other needs. McCarthy and his eight dogs, all rescues, moved to his Rancho Santa Fe ranch in August. McCarthy lived in Rancho Santa Fe from 2008 to 2010 before moving to Newport Beach for a couple years and then heading up north to live on a ranch in Eugene. While working with shelters in Oregon, he said it became evident that nearly all of the rescues were coming to the state from Southern California. A bunch of little groups were transporting the animals up north, often times in cramped vans or even cars, some of them arriving in poor condition, dehydrated or even worse. “I decided I could do a better job than they were doing and do it really cheap if I used a bigger vehicle,” McCarthy said. “You could get a lot more animals in the van, and with a

two-person crew we could transport animals from Los Angeles to Seattle.” The first Rescue Express, a converted 40-foot school bus, took its initial journey on Valentine’s Day 2015, stopping at rescue groups along Interstate 5 to load up the bus heading north. “Shelters in Southern California, mostly those in the Central Valley, are more and more pressured by the community to lower euthanasia rates and find ways to home most dogs, as long as they aren’t ferocious or sick. So this is a great program for them,” McCarthy said. Free of charge, he will go to a shelter in a place like Bakersfield and take 20 dogs out of their cages and take them up north. McCarthy said the Southern California shelters are “delighted” because it takes pressure off of them to find homes for those 20 dogs and the shelters up north, which have a hard time finding animals, are able to get those dogs into good homes and benefit from adoption fees to keep their shelters up and running. “The people there are also getting to adopt an animal that they wouldn’t have been able to get and the animal gets to live a life as well,” McCarthy said. “Everybody wins.” The first few trips were word of mouth but soon they implemented a reservation system. Over the last four years, McCarthy has refined the system, drawing on his tech background to create an online method. In 2016, they added two more buses to the fleet to meet demand. The bus is equipped with 100 carriers of varying sizes, from small to large and groups can make reservations based on carrier size. Every weekend on Saturday mornings, the bus starts picking up animals all the way up to Sacramento and then makes several scheduled stops. Eugene, Ore., is usually the first stop and then the bus goes on to Portland, Seattle and Burlington, Wash. “A lot of animals are going to Canada now,” McCarthy said. “The further north you get, the greater the shortage of animals.” At one Canada shelter, McCarthy said they had 200 applications for 20 available dogs. The buses are also useful in the event of natural disasters. In 2016, the buses SEE RESCUE EXPRESS, A16

Author struggled to put her Burmese family’s story on paper BY JOE TASH Charmaine Craig tried for years to write about her family’s history in Burma, now known as Myanmar. But it took her four tries to get it right, which she achieved in her 2017 novel, “Miss Burma.” First, as a teenager, she tried writing about the lives of her mother and maternal grandparents in poetry. Then, she tried her hand at a screenplay. Next came a novel set in the United States in which a mother tells the story to her American-born daughter. After five years, she tossed that book aside and recast the story as a third-person account set in Burma from 1926 through 1965. The result, “Miss Burma,” was published this year by Grove Atlantic. The novel is Craig’s second. “It was the greatest challenge of my life and something I knew I had to do,” said Craig, a professor of creative writing at UC Riverside who lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughters. Craig spoke to a reporter and also met with a Torrey Pines High School creative writing class on Thursday, Nov. 2, before addressing the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar resort in Carmel Valley. An editor who read the earlier version of her book urged her to bring out the story of Burma in her novel, which freed her to tell the story of her family in a way that felt right to her. “It closely cleaves to the actual story of my family members in Burma,” she said. Her grandfather, who was Jewish, married a woman who was a member of Burma’s Karen minority, a group that was persecuted by the majority ethnic Burmans. Her grandfather, Benny, was an architect of

The book’s first chapter begins, “When, nearly twenty years earlier, Louisa’s father saw her mother for the first time, toward the end of the jetty at the seaport of Akyab – that is, when he saw her hair, a black shining sheath that reached past the hem of her dress to her muddy white ankles, he reminded himself, God loves each of us, as if there were only one of us.” At the same time, she sought in the book to tell a story of an ethnic majority’s persecution of minority groups. ‘“Miss Burma’ is a story about the consequences of ethnic majority nationalism,” Craig said, a tale that continues in Myanmar today, with the persecution of the Muslim minority Rohingya people.

In spite of winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 for her pro-democracy work, Suu Kyi has been criticized in recent years for failing to speak up for the Rohingya and other minorities in Myanmar, and against their mistreatment at the hands of the nation’s powerful army.

Village Church Alternative Christmas Market Nov. 19 helps those in need San Diegans will have a unique chance to broaden their gift giving during the holiday season by attending the Alternative Christmas Market held at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe on Sunday, Nov. 19. Shoppers can choose from a wide array of gifts designed to change the lives of the less fortunate -- a $25 donation buys a backpack filled with school supplies for a child in Syria. Last year, participants in the Market helped to raise more than $100,000 for two dozen local and global charities that partner with the church on a regular basis. All of the money raised goes directly to mission partners, including Care House serving San Diego’s homeless children, Amor Ministries that builds homes for Mexico’s poorest families and the Outreach Foundation, which works with local churches to develop schools and expand education in several communities throughout Kenya. “Get your Christmas shopping done early by purchasing a special gift on behalf of family and friends. There’s something for everyone on your list and you’ll experience the joy of giving to those in need,” said the Rev. Dr. Jan Farley, associate pastor of the Village Church. Now in its 24th year at the church, the Market offers a chance to support struggling military veterans, cloth and feed orphans in Kenya and Brazil, and develop Christian TV programs for women in the Middle East. New this year, the Market will offer four

OPINION

www.rsfreview.com

Longtime RSF resident continues to help The Village Church and Village Church Community Theater thrive Do you know Drew Middleton? If you live in Rancho Santa Fe, you may. He’s lived here his whole life. Drew works not only as part of this community, but he also works in the extended locale at the Del Mar Race Track, which he has done for many years. What brings him to our pages today is the longevity he has with The Village Community Presbyterian Church and the Village Church Community Theater. Drew’s parents moved to Rancho Santa Fe in 1960. The youngest of five children, he was born a few years later. He is a true native of this community-in-the-hills with ties to The Village Community Presbyterian Church since he was very young. Nursery school, Sunday school, youth programs and becoming a member of the church when he was 13 years old opened doors to his later work in the Village Church Community Theater. Not only does he have The Village Church connection, but Drew, in his younger years, worked with 4H as a leader. He eventually gave up 4H, because he became a Mason and needed time in his already hectic schedule to accomplish work in community outreach. This was part of the “Getting together in friendship” ideal that the Masons introduced to him in those years. Drew has been a Mason for 12 years and is a Past Master for the Oceanside/San Dieguito Lodge #381. In 1989, Drew was hired at the Del Mar Race Track as loader operator, loading horse manure into trailers and fixing equipment when it broke down. Later working for multiple seasons as a mechanic, he became head mechanic in 2006, which is the position he still holds today. Drew worked with Village Church Children’s Ministry in some of its productions prior to his Community Theater work. He mostly worked with props, for one production he created rolling platforms for the old-style desks we can all picture in our minds from the old “one-room” school houses. This work was so effective that the Children’s Ministry Director gave him one of the antique desks he used for the set. He cherishes that memento even today. Margie Wood, the long-time director of the community theater, recruited Drew to work on a Sunday worship Christmas play. Things

simply “evolved” from there with Drew. In some instances, he would come to the rescue, to fix a scene-malfunction, a silent microphone or assist teens who wanted to learn about the tech side of theater. His upbeat and cheery attitude made him especially valuable as a teen mentor. Drew was there for the first performance as the Village Church Community Theater came into being in 2005. Even though Margie Wood has retired and the new director, Twyla Arant of Carlsbad, has taken over as producing director, Drew continues his stellar advisory role as technical director. He keeps quality of sound and lighting in good order. However, you can’t limit Drew’s work around the theater when a production moves though its many stages of development… so basically the word out there is, “Ask Drew; he’ll know!” Twenty-eight years working as a volunteer or as an employee for The Village Community Presbyterian Church, and, Drew still loves to help everyone as much as he can. Working not

only at the technical side of church and theater, he has also acted in seven productions. One time, when Margie had trouble casting for a Drama Dessert Night skit, “Parable of the Missing Sermon”, she called Drew when he was out of town skiing. He accepted the role on the telephone, knowing he only had three weeks to learn his part. Everything he tackles, he’s solid in the work, no matter what. The current Village Church Community Theater production, Scrooge! The Musical, with a cast of 35 actors, has its challenges for Drew as technical director. Coordinating lighting with the lighting director, and sound with the sound director, and trouble-shooting when a particular prop or microphone is not working, Drew is at the pulse of connecting all the dots for the scenes we so love to see and hear on stage. Be sure to join Drew, the cast, the team of professional artisans/technicians, and the theater volunteers for the production of Scrooge! The Musical by Leslie Bricusse and Charles Dickens, Dec. 1, 2 and 3 at the Village Church Community Theater, 6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe.

FROM SCHOOL BOND, A1 forward with a 2016 effort. A survey would be required to gauge if there is interest now and what kind of outreach would be required for residents to understand the district’s facilities needs. Tom Shepard has run bond campaigns for 35 years, including Rancho Santa Fe’s Prop E in 2008, which passed with 71 percent of the vote — the $34 million to build new the new R. Roger Rowe School. The firm was also involved with the successful Prop JJ in neighboring Solana Beach School District and helped conduct the first gym survey in 2014. Shepard said in a small community like Rancho Santa Fe, one of the challenges is getting an adequate sample size. A traditional phone survey would be enhanced with online and mail-in so every resident has the opportunity to participate. Because of the district demographics, Shepard said it’s important to ensure that they are surveying all residents and voters and not restrict to just one portion of the community. In 2014, 75.9 percent of those

surveyed did not have elementary school-aged children and 81.2 percent did not have middle school-aged children. “If support isn’t there I will give you that advice and do so without hesitation,” Shepard said. “Rancho Santa Fe is a unique community and there are many strongly held opinions among your constituents. As a result, a small group that strongly disagrees could easily derail a bond effort.” He said if they moved forward, his firm would help the district figure out a path where everyone is “at least satisfied and not actively opposing the measure,” which he has successfully done in Rancho Santa Fe in the past. Jared Boigon, a partner with TBWB Strategies, said a certain percentage of voters will never vote to increase taxes and the key in passing bonds for school districts is consensus, to develop a proposal that mirrors the priorities of voters. His firm successfully passed bonds for the San Dieguito Union High School District and Mira Costa Community College in 2012. “This is a challenging place to have this

FROM RESCUE EXPRESS, A7 transported animals from Louisiana after the floods and after Hurricane Harvey this year, the buses went to Houston and back twice, bringing over 400 animals to Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo. Rescue Express will also do charters for small rescue groups as long as they can fill the bus with 80 animals. There are many “happy tails” from the nearly 13,000 lives saved. A favorite is Gwen, who got on the bus just in time, the day before her euthanasia date. While on the bus to Oregon, she gave birth to a litter of puppies. The Rescue Express gave Gwen and her puppies a chance to find a forever home that they would have never had otherwise.

FROM TENNIS, A13 opportunity, one of our esteemed tennis club members pledged another $100,000 which brings the total pledge to Rady Children’s Hospital to $301,000,” explained Dave Van Den Berg, RSFTC Invitational chair, who attended that evening’s gala. “I was overwhelmed by the generosity of our members. Through the Invitational, we hope to raise and pledge another $200,000 to total more than $500,000 in support of the psych ED. We are currently looking for our title sponsor which will be an amazing opportunity for any company.” “The Tennis Club is committed to a long-term commitment to the Copley Psychiatric Emergency Department in conjunction with the Invitational and raising funds for such an important issue that is plaguing our San Diego junior population. Really, it’s a national problem which is the mental health of our children,” said Van Den Berg. “There is a staggering number of children who are walking through the hospital’s doors with urgent mental health needs. More than half of children in need have little or no private insurance. Dr. Benjamin Maxwell, Rady Children’s medical director of Children and Adolescent Psychiatry Services, shared in a previous release, that five years ago they were averaging something like 40 psychiatric emergency patients a month. Now Rady Children’s is seeing between 300 and 400 a month.” Matt Previdi, RSF Invitational director and events coordinator, added, “I believe our missions complement each other and that’s to restore, sustain and enhance the health and developmental potential of children. We do it through tennis and our outreach efforts and the hospital does it through its research and mental healthcare. The Invitational is a great opportunity

conversation,” Boigon said. “There are people here who really understand bonds, they are going to ask tough questions and read school budgets and really look at what you are trying to accomplish here.” Boigon said this isn’t a situation where the district will be able to “tactic” its way into winning an election — “To get to 55 percent in this community, it’s going to be about transparency, dialogue and winning the argument and making a compelling case that they can support.” Tim McLarney, president of True North Research, who would conduct the voter survey in partnership with TBWB, said his firm has the highest verifiable success in California with 94 percent pass rate for school bonds and parcel taxes since 2008, and 100 percent success in the 2016 election with 45 measures and 45 wins. “We are not cavalier about telling clients to move forward with measures,” McLarney said. McLarney, a R. Roger Rowe parent, said they are careful about interpreting poll results, taking into account external factors such as timing, bond amount, tax rate,

In addition to transporting animals, the nonprofit is also working to reduce the number of animals needing relocation with innovative initiatives targeting the sources of pet overpopulation, including support for low-cost spay/neuter programs and lobbying for improved local animal regulations and enforcement. While dogs and cats are the most common passengers, the Express has also carried pigs and bunnies and they will soon start partnering with a pigeon and dove rescue. There have been no problems in the transports, which McCarthy credits to his safety procedures for all traveling pets. When the bus returns it is cleaned and sterilized and prepared for the next trip. As the goal is for the bus to

for anyone who would like to partner with us in support of the hospital’s new emergency department.” The 31st Annual RSF Pro Am Invitational will be held April 27-29, 2018, at the RSF Tennis Club. This three-day event has 50 of the top female and male tennis professionals in Southern California teaming up with 50 amateurs competing for prize money. The invitational starts Friday with a Pro-only tournament, followed by a cocktail party and gala dinner. Saturday and Sunday highlights 100 players in competition to raise money for the Copley Psychiatric Emergency Department. The RSF Tennis Club is committed to providing its members the absolute best tennis experience in San Diego County. The renowned tennis facility offers something for players of every skill level, as well as amazing social events and tournaments. The United States Professional Tennis Association awarded RSFTC its 2014 “Outstanding Tennis Facility of the Year,” because of the numerous programs and events held at the club. The RSFTC supports the high criteria of the USPTA certification process. There is a fully certified staff of tennis professionals who are eager to help players reach their full potential on the court with lessons and programs tailored to the individual. The RSFTC has a highly regarded Junior Program and is one of the most heavily attended in the country with over 53 graduates who moved on to play in NCAA collegiate tennis programs. Headed up by Derek Miller, the club’s Junior Program has over 75 juniors and it is growing every day.

competing ballot issues and potential controversies in order to give “good solid advice” about taking on a bond effort. “The last thing the board wants is to invest in a process that doesn’t have a reasonable chance of success,” McLarney said. McLarney said one of Rancho Santa Fe’s biggest challenges is the school’s “curb appeal”— the facility is newly built and looks great, he said, so it’s up to the district to really communicate what its program needs are as well as match it with community priorities. For a measure to be placed on the November 2018 ballot, the district would have to have ballot language to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters by August 2018. The firms recommended that outreach would begin this winter so the district would ideally begin drafting a measure by February or March. According to Superintendent David Jaffe, the board will provide direction on the next steps at the next board meeting, which may include requesting the district bring forward a formal proposal from both firms, one firm, or neither.

travel as far as possible as quickly as possible so that the animals are not on the bus for too long, two staff members make the trip to take shifts driving — there is space on board for one staff member to rest. “We don’t charge rescue groups for service so we rely on donations,” said McCarthy. “We want to do more. The buses can go a long way, they are pretty economical, but we are in the process of designing an 18-wheeler.” The 18-wheeler would have room for 300 carriers so the Express would be able to take three times as many animals in one trip. The more lives he can save the better, McCarthy said. To learn more, visit Rescue Express at rescueexpress.org or contact Madeleine Gere at (760) 730-2106 or madeleine@rescueexpress.org.

FROM HOSPITAL, A14 supplies, increasing their efficiency and improving their ability to deliver the highest quality care possible. Facilities will be designed to promote patient healing and comfort and will make efficient use of natural resources. The master plan projects will be financed by operating revenues, borrowing and philanthropy, according to the press release. “Community support always has been a significant part of Scripps’ history, dating back to our founders, Ellen Browning Scripps and Mother Mary Michael Cummings,” Van Gorder said. “We are thankful for that. We don’t receive government funding for these projects. It’s the generosity of grateful patients and others that has made us what we are today, and it will be that generosity that will shape us into who we become in the future.” Among the local building plans are the following: Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas Plans for Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas include the construction of a new 185,000-square-foot, three-story acute care building. Other campus projects include the construction of a new three-story, 68,000-square-foot medical office building, upgrades to the central energy plant and seismic retrofitting of several other buildings. Construction of the new acute care building is expected to begin in 2021 and conclude in 2024.

Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla Work at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla will include construction of a new seven-story, 401,000 square-foot hospital tower. The new tower will feature a women’s health center, which will include labor and delivery, postpartum beds, a nursery, an obstetrical surgery area and a neonatal intensive care unit. Other projects on the campus include upgrades to the central energy plant. Construction of the new tower is expected to begin in 2021 and conclude in 2024. The master plan also includes the construction of two Scripps MD Anderson outpatient cancer centers. One will be a new cancer center located at Scripps Mercy San Diego and the other will be an expansion of the Scripps Radiation Therapy Center in La Jolla. Work on the Scripps MD Anderson cancer center at Scripps Mercy will take place as part of that campus’ construction, while the timeline for the expansion work at the Scripps Radiation Therapy Center is yet to be determined. In addition, Scripps will continue to focus on providing the right care in the right setting by increasing access to outpatient care conveniently located in neighborhoods where patients live and work. Primary and specialty care services will be offered through a planned 85,000-square-foot Scripps Clinic facility on Jefferson Street in Oceanside and a renovated Gateway 2 Building in Chula Vista.

He also claimed in a letter to a judge to have flown the Kardashian family around “for years.” In 2015 he was sent to prison by a San Diego federal judge for five months after he forged client signatures that would give investors a claim over a portion of the winnings in his clients’ personal injury cases. After being released from prison, his financial woes prompted him to file for bankruptcy. He reported between $10 million and $50 million in liabilities, according to court records. The bankruptcy court discharged his debts, but he still owed $1.2 million that could not be erased, including unpaid taxes, court-ordered restitution and a fine. He was being supervised by a probation officer and working as a pilot, shuttling wealthy clients to a Mexican resort where he owns property, when he was contacted by the

traffickers, according to court documents filed by prosecutors. His probation officer had approved several Mexican flights — with the required two weeks’ notice — but did not immediately reply when Macaluso asked if he could fly to the Dominican Republic on a day’s notice. On Nov. 10, 2016, he traveled to Tijuana without permission, then the next day to San Diego, and later to Orlando and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. (Prosecutors say the traffickers mistakenly thought Port-au-Prince was in the Dominican Republic.) Macaluso had been selected for the drug flight only after another plane, a Gulfstream II in Florida, was unable to leave the U.S. Investigators from the New York Police Department and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said in court documents that U.S. planes are desired for such work because traffickers think they attract less attention. In a motion filed before trial, prosecutors said Macaluso had met with the co-conspirators in Tijuana beginning in June 2016, months earlier. Prosecutors said Macaluso was introduced to Humberto “Mateo” Osuna Contreras and other drug Santa Fe). The two-day attendance for the Breeders’ Cup was 70,420. For the comfort of its guests and because of Del Mar’s smaller capacity, Breeders’ Cup limited ticket sales to 37,500 for each day, according to a news release. The two-day on-track wagering total of $25,181,317 was the highest for the event, which expanded from one day to two in 2007, and was a 21.4 percent increase over the two-day total of $20,742,847 in 2016, when it was held at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. Saturday’s full-card on-track handle of $15,981,250 was the highest since 2006, the last year the Breeders’ Cup Championships were conducted over one day. Fall season racing at Del Mar continues through Nov. 26.

dealers at the meeting by an unnamed employee of San Diego attorney John Kirby, who had partnered with Macaluso in the Mexican aviation business, according to the court documents. Kirby represented Macaluso in his fraud case. On Nov. 13, 2016, a co-conspirator was recorded by law enforcement as saying a crew member, “Mateo,” would be going along for the ride to represent investors who were to buy a portion of the cocaine, according to the complaint. Flight records show the two men flew to Haiti the same day. In another recorded conversation the following day, co-conspirator Carlos Almonte Vasquez said the “chauffeur” would be arriving and that the “captain” knew “everything” but the co-pilot did not, according to the complaint. Once in Haiti, Macaluso, Osuna and Almonte met to finalize the plans, agreeing on $185,000 payment, most of which would go to Macaluso, the complaint says. Macaluso explained the structure of the jet and confirmed, in Spanish, it could hold “1,500 kilos,” documents state. Macaluso claims the

conversation was not about drugs. Prosecutors said the plan was to pick up the cocaine in South America and then drop it off in Central America — a common tactic used by smugglers to get the drugs closer to Mexico, where they can then be smuggled by land into the United States. Haitian law enforcement arrested the men after the meeting. The trio was flown back to New York to face international drug distribution conspiracy charges. Macaluso maintains his cellphone, which was seized upon his arrest in Haiti, holds evidence proving his innocence, but the phone went missing. Osuna and Almonte pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge in September, leaving Macaluso to face trial alone beginning Oct. 30. The jury deliberated for about an hour Friday, Nov. 3, before convicting him, according to the New York Daily News. His lawyer, Michael Gold, told the newspaper: “Mr. Macaluso was disappointed with the verdict but looks forward to being vindicated in future proceedings.” — Kristina Davis is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune

He said that the older generation represented on the board is not willing to sacrifice for the long-term good of the younger generation. “This would provide something for 30 percent of the community that is not represented so I would look at this proposal favorably,” Ruhnau said of the restroom project. Board director Rick Sapp took time to respond to Licosati’s comments, objecting to the sense that the board is “heavily biased” and that they don’t sympathize with or provide for younger members. “As directors, we are obligated to represent the entire community,” Sapp said. “It’s not accurate to state that any of us personally ignore or don’t consider younger people.”

into the new state accountability system, the California School Dashboard Report, which will be available for public viewing in December. The color-coded dashboard replaced the Academic Performance Index (API) score and includes state and local indicators such as English learner progress, chronic absenteeism, suspension rates and parent engagement, as well as test results. RSF School District Superintendent David Jaffe said he would like hold a workshop in February that takes into account the CASPP scores as well as data from all other forms of student assessments that are done on campus, to provide a full scope of the work being done. “(The Smarter Balanced assessment) is one measure, one test. Multiple measures give us a deeper picture of students’ performance,” Jaffe said.

“I feel the need to have due care and due deliberation on material items such as property rights. We shouldn’t rush it because it’s not a clear and present danger in the community,” Sapp said. Danola and Sapp said they didn’t know what the harm would be in spending another month to do additional research and incorporate board comments in an effort to present the best document that they could for public review. Finkelson said the issue is time — if the board is interested in moving forward, he wants to be able to get an enforceable regulation “with teeth” in place as soon as possible. One resident in the audience said that the vacation rentals are a “big problem” in his neighborhood and he has been personally affected but he chose not to share his experiences publicly. Hall said the complaints that the Association and the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol have received have mostly centered on noise and parking issues. RSF Association President Fred Wasserman said he’s spoken with realtors who said they are seeing a trend of people purchasing homes with the sole intention of using them as short-term rentals. “There’s a perception that if this becomes a short-term rental community, it will affect property values,” Wasserman said. “The board is obligated to look at this, we need to protect our community.” In his hesitance to move forward, Sapp said he has been watching the situation in Del Mar — Del Mar City Council is targeting May 2018 as the beginning of its new policy, which will limit full-home rentals, single-room rentals and home “swaps” to seven-day minimums that cannot exceed 28 days per calendar year. Rental supporters have filed suit against the city. The issue has also been hotly contested in the City of San Diego, particularly in the coastal cities. City Council is set to consider several proposals for short-term rental regulations at a Dec. 12 hearing. “When you interfere with property rights in general I get uncomfortable,” Sapp said, noting he would rather see the Association regulate it by using some kind of permitting for rentals less than 30 days. Sapp said he is also concerned that the Association would face lawsuits and that the Covenant contract would not prevail in court. Finkelson acknowledged that “the chances for litigation are great” but he said counsel has advised that the homeowners association has more powers than the city by the nature of the contract and they believe that rules would be enforceable.

The first three winners on Saturday paid $36.60, $62.40 and $135.40 on $2 win tickets. “The Breeders’ Cup always has long shots win. They are incredibly hard races to predict,” Fravel said. “They’re a challenge because every horse in there is a quality contender. It doesn’t surprise me. It was fun to see some big payouts.” — Tod Leonard is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Torrey Pines breaks ground on new performing arts center BY KAREN BILLING For the last 27 years, theater teacher Marinee Payne has been visualizing the day when Torrey Pines High School would finally get its performing arts center, as it was the only high school campus in the district without one. Payne said she shed tears all summer after the old campus buildings came down in preparation for the center to begin construction this fall. A groundbreaking ceremony was held Nov. 3 on the new 30,623-square-foot building that will be a new home to Torrey Pines Players, singers, dancers and musicians, a program with a history of 27 years and beyond of performers. “Thank you so much for a dream come true,” said a tearful Payne. “I’m going to have so much fun watching the dirt give birth to something beautiful.” The curtains are set to rise on the new $24 million performing arts center in 2019, which will feature a performing arts center building and music/dance building linked by a central plaza designed as a small outdoor performing space. The arts center will include a proscenium theater, a black box theatre, scene shop, green room, dressing rooms and other various auxiliary rooms in support of theater operations. The music building will include an office, seven practice rooms and an instrument storage room. The dance room will also have its own storage and an office. Additionally, the south wall of the music building will open up to the existing quad/amphitheater space for additional outdoor performance space. “Twenty-seven years ago, there was a dream. Twenty-seven years worth of students have

Theater teacher Marinee Payne with her “kids.” passed through that black box and they’ve lived that dream, they’ve believed that dream. Everything that they did, every contribution they made, every screw they screwed in, every stitch they stitched, every line that they learned was to build a dream,” Payne said. “Without those students that have come before and those that are here now, there would be no dream. This belongs to them, their hearts, souls, energy, time and the love they gave because they loved

the magic of the Box. They are the magic.” While to Payne the performing arts center is 27 years in the making, for the school it’s a project that has been 43 years in the making. Principal Rob Coppo said the groundbreaking was a very special moment for the school, students and the community, noting that the project would not be possible without Prop AA and all the voters who supported the bond initiative.

“This project embodies the spirit of Prop AA and the spirit of San Dieguito Union High School District in providing equal access and opportunities to all of our students, no matter what school they go to,” Superintendent Eric Dill said. Coppo, a former president of the Torrey Pines Players when he was a student, said he was thrilled that the program was finally getting the upgrade it deserved. He recalls the program’s early days in the lecture hall before moving the Black Box Theatre. “Without the arts program at Torrey Pines High School I wouldn’t be standing here right now, I’m a living example of the difference that the arts can make and the opportunities this very school provides,” Coppo said. “What happens at this campus is special and has been for a very long time and now not only will it be a new venue for talented thespians but dance and music programs will all also have new classrooms and share new homes for performances...the impact this space will have on [student] lives will be immeasurable.”

ASAP Urgent Care offers ease, affordability for patients

La Jolla Cultural Partners

At ASAP Urgent Care in Encinitas, the attention to patients is personal, quick and typically not as costly as an emergency room visit. Dr. Matthew Kurlan opened the office, at 519 Encinitas Boulevard, suite 106, eight years ago. The former emergency room physician of 15 years said he wanted to bring his ER experience to a more relaxed environment for patients. “I found that a lot of what I was taking care of in the emergency room could be treated a lot easier, faster and cheaper in urgent care,” he said. “When I started thinking about my office, I just had a blank sheet of paper and began thinking of what we really need to do and what we just do out of habit that’s not really necessary. We don’t do a lot of stuff that’s not needed, and that gives us more time to listen to stories and really get into what’s going on with patients.” Patients, on average, spend between 25 and 35 minutes at the urgent care office from the time they arrive to the time they leave. The office works on a walk-in basis only with no appointments. Fees typically range between $78 and $94, most of the time. The office does not currently work with insurance, but that is something Kurlan said he is possibly looking into. Patients also have the option for a “super bill” that they

“

I want to show people they can come into my office, we’ll respect their time and we won’t waste time.

”

Dr. Matthew Kurlan ASAP Urgent Care

can submit to their insurance companies for possible reimbursement. “You go to the hospital and it’s going to be more time and money than that,” said the doctor, who has been in practice for more than 20 years. Kurlan said he personally takes care of every patient — he can see up to 25 patients a day depending on the season — so patients only have to tell their stories once. Kurlan, who works with a staff of medical assistants, takes patients for many illnesses and injuries. Some of the most common conditions

he treats are sinus infections, bronchial infections, urinary tract infections, sprained ankles, sprained wrists and stitching. He can also perform physical examinations. “The fact that I had training and experience in the ER allows me to pick up, from time to time, patients that are a lot sicker than they realize and send them to the hospital,” Kurlan said. “Sometimes, they’ll end up being admitted or going to the operating room for something they thought was just a minor thing.” As the future of healthcare becomes more uncertain and complicated, Kurlan said he believes more people will turn to urgent care offices. “I think it’s hard to pass up the convenience factor,” he said. “Everybody is so busy that they don’t really want to spend time sitting in the waiting room for a long time to see someone. I think they kind of value their time, and that’s sort of what I’ve been aiming at. I want to show people they can come into my office, we’ll respect their time and we won’t waste time.” For more information about ASAP Urgent Care, visit asap-urgent-care.com or call 760-230-2727. – Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Helen Woodward Animal Center lends a paw to the homeless and their loving companions Helen Woodward Animal Center recently announced the kickoff of Pets Without Walls – its latest program dedicated to the mission of “People helping animals, animals helping people.” The program (newest among the center’s efforts to make the world a happier place for people and pets) will provide pet food, vaccinations, spays and neuters, pet supplies, and additional items and services as needed, to the dogs and cats who reside with homeless families at the city’s industrial tent site. Chain restaurant operator and partner at Paradigm Investment Group LLC, Dan Shea, approached Helen Woodward Animal Center about the current massive efforts being made to improve the lives for the local homeless. Helen Woodward Animal Center officially began its partnership on Tuesday, Nov. 7, with the first of its bi-weekly visits at the new tent site providing children’s crafts and lessons, animal services, and a donation drop off. In September, Mayor Kevin Faulconer announced the plan to use large industrial tents, equipped with restrooms, hand-washing stations, showers, and supportive services, to get hundreds of homeless people off the streets of San Diego and back on their feet. The plan was the brain child of Dan Shea and Padres Managing Partner, Peter Seidler, who met with city officials for months on the plan to use 250-capacity industrial tents as a way of immediately sheltering people living on the street. The Alpha Project has been put in charge of overseeing the incredible efforts being made on the project and Feeding San Diego volunteered to provide lunches to residents. The current arrangement consists of tents set up in a former parking lot, now fenced, and separated into areas for women and children, families and single men. By Thanksgiving, the city hopes to have erected “Sprung” locations – giant “tent structures” able to shelter an even larger number of San Diego’s homeless. The plan comes

at an important time as City Councilman David Alvarez recently announced a state of emergency for homelessness with a count of 9,116, a 5 percent increase from last year, and a number of 5,621 remaining unsheltered, an increase of 14 percent. Adding to the sense of urgency, the recent hepatitis outbreak has left a growing number of homeless people dead over the past 10 months. Helen Woodward Animal Center is honored to join these efforts by helping families keep their furry companions fed and healthy. The center’s program, “Pets Without Walls” will provide health checks, microchipping, preventative medical care, important vaccinations, flea and tick medication, and pet food (through an extension of its AniMeals program). In the current location, Helen Woodward Animal Center will assist approximately 25 dogs and a few cats but with the opening of the “Sprung” structure the number of pets is anticipated to reach over 200.

Interdependence v. Codependence Interdependence and codependence are sometimes used interchangeably, but in fact, they are two drastically different human behaviors.

establish ﬁnancial independence and security. They rely on the support and education provided by their parents until they are able to function with a greater independence. Interdependence also helps us grow emotionally, as part of a collective, while fulﬁlling our own needs. Partners in an interdependent romantic relationship work together equally, or take turns carrying the load, but each side brings its strengths and talents to make a stronger unit. Codependence requires a big “on the other hand.” Codependence isn’t healthy.

Interdependence is how much of society works. We rely on others for support and even for survival. How many of us rely on someone keeping the electricity or water on for us, or for supermarkets to stay in operation, or for schools to educate us and our families? How many rely on doctors and therapists for health? For people to build our roads, houses, and other infrastructure? This is how interdependence works. Within families, as well as any close relationship, we form a network that is most ideally suited to beneﬁt our wellbeing and success (as well as survival). Kids, for example, don’t have fully developed brains until they are 18 years old, and it very often takes longer for them to

In codependent relationships, both sides often are not equally balanced and they don’t beneﬁt from what is brought into the relationship. Codependent people place their entire potential for happiness or success on their partner or family members. They can be spouses, lovers, parents, siblings, children, or friends. Codependent partners only seem to relate to others with obsessiveness, possessiveness, selfsacriﬁce that borders on martyrdom (usually accompanied with guilt), dysfunctional patterns of communication, and a desire to manipulate in order to assert control. Those who are in codependent relationships are frequently abusive, or they allow themselves to be submissive to abuse. Neediness unhappily runs after distancers

and stonewallers. Passive aggression subversively attacks aggression. The cycle never seems to end. Very often, people in codependent relationships either can’t handle or won’t allow for disagreement. They believe satisfaction can be found only when things go exactly their way and that their own needs are more important than the needs of those around them. They can feel responsible for their partner’s moods. They often blame partners or families for things not going their way because they’re unable to face their individual responsibility. There is usually a duality of insecurity battling ego. And there tends to be a lot of drama with codependent couples, and it’s not uncommon to hear such phrases as “I can never do anything right” and “Why are you always like this?” Aside from the obvious reasons why codependence should not be mistaken for interdependence, “codependence” has become a catch-all term used by proponents and detractors alike for both co- and interdependence. Detractors misusing the term “codependent” will believe that even interdependence should be avoided, that—to borrow from Simon & Garfunkel—every person is a rock and an island. That independence and individualism should be valued above all. I suppose this may be true of hermits and great white sharks. But humans are a

social species. Relationships can strengthen us as individuals, and an interdependent partner can both support and challenge a partner to be and do their best. As I’ve established, interdependence works best when we improve ourselves ﬁrst as individuals. Our progress improves the progress of the group, at least ideally. The goal of a healthy interdependence is to build up your own identity rather than losing that identity to a relationship or a group or mob. Interdependence requires accountability and responsibility of all its participants. Are you caught in a pattern of codependence? Do you have a partner, friend or family member who is trying to control your life with their codependence? Individual counseling may illuminate harmful patterns and help you work toward a healthy interdependence in your relationships. Erika Kao, PhD may be reached 858-472-8959 or visit drerikakao.com.

She reached the semifinals of both the US Open and the Australian Open this year — her career-best Grand Slam results. In New York, Vandeweghe upset world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova in the quarterfinals to become one of four American women in the semifinals, marking the first time all four women’s singles semifinalists had been American at the US Open since 1981 – and at a Grand Slam tournament since Wimbledon in 1985. In Australia, Vandeweghe upset three seeded players, including then-world No. 1 Angelique Kerber. Vandeweghe also advanced to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in 2015. She holds two WTA singles titles, both won in Den Bosch, Netherlands, in 2014 and 2016. She represented the U.S. in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio in women’s doubles and advanced to the doubles semifinals at the US Open in 2015 and 2016 and the quarterfinals at the Australian Open in 2016.

first WTA doubles title at Indian Wells in 2016 with Mattek-Sands. Vandeweghe has played in six Fed Cup ties for the U.S., holding a 5-3 record in singles and a 4-0 record in doubles. She played a crucial role in leading the U.S. Fed Cup team to the final this year, winning both of her singles matches in the first round in Maui and then winning both of her singles matches in the semifinal in Tampa Bay and clinching the tie for the U.S. in the fifth-and-decisive rubber to become the first U.S. Fed Cup player since 1996 to win three live matches in one tie. As a junior player, Vandeweghe won the 2008 US Open girls’ singles title. Her mother, Tauna, was a member of the U.S. national team in both swimming and volleyball, and her uncle is former NBA star Kiki Vandeweghe.

OPEN HOUSES Prestige Realty gives back to RSF's own equine rescue, Laughing Pony Rescue.

COURTESY

Laughing Pony Rescue receives commission check from The Prestige Realty Group, dedicated to philanthropy Laughing Pony Rescue loves The Prestige Realty Group located in Rancho Santa Fe for many reasons. Founded by two stand-up guys who not only know real estate, they also truly care about supporting the development of the community. These gentlemen started The Philanthropy Club Foundation (www.thephilanthropyclub.org), a project dedicated to changing the age of philanthropy and teaching today’s youth the value and joys of giving without expectations. Their brokerage has committed to donate a percentage of their commissions to Laughing Pony Rescue (LPR) for any sales (listings or buyers) referred to them by anyone who mentions Laughing Pony Rescue. Recently, LPR received their first check from this program through a home purchase made

by a dedicated and longtime LPR volunteer. This volunteer has been committed to philanthropy and the LPR rescue horses for over two years. She was in the market for a new home and decided to use Prestige Realty for her home purchasing needs. Following her closing, a check was delivered to LPR. These funds were used to feed, rehabilitate and care for LPR’s current resident rescue horses. Laughing Pony Rescue is so grateful for Prestige Realty and to their valued volunteer for going above and beyond to support the rescue efforts of all equine by Laughing Pony Rescue. If you don’t have a preferred realtor already consider using Prestige Realty. LPR’s volunteer said she was really impressed with how professional and efficient their service was.
