Water board wrangles over $35.6M budget

BY JOE TASH Santa Fe Irrigation District directors got their first look at proposed $35.6 million budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, and the discussion reflected a split among board members that has carried over from an earlier contentious debate on proposed rate increases for the majority of district customers. The discussion took place Thursday, April 21, at the board’s regular monthly meeting. The district provides drinking water for customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. Over the next two months, the board will hold public hearings on the rate plan and the budget, which is built on the assumption that rates will be raised in both June and January. The public hearing on the rate plan is set for May 19, when the board will decide whether to implement a new rate structure that would raise district revenues by up to 9 percent annually, with the first increase proposed for June 1. Also at the May meeting, the board also could approve a maximum of 9 percent in rate hikes for 2017 and 2018, although separate votes would be needed before the subsequent rate hikes could take effect. A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for June 16. The board is split on the rate plan, with directors Marlene King and Greg Gruzdowich on the losing end of a series of votes related to the proposal. King and Gruzdowich also raised objections to the budget, saying SEE BUDGET, A22

10 QUESTIONS

Q&A with Covenant Club Committee Chair Heather Slosar

utgoing Rancho Santa Fe Association Board Director Heather Slosar, chair of the Covenant Club Committee, recently answered some frequently asked questions about the status of the proposed pool and fitness center. 1. Please explain how the Covenant Club became an important issue for the RSF Association board? Slosar: The answer to this question goes back to the Association and Golf boards of 2012 - 2013. The Golf Club leaders were not satisfied with the membership loss trends they saw at the club and wanted to explore ways, with the support of the Association, to appeal to more Covenant members. The Golf Club hired ClubMark Consultants to conduct a thorough questionnaire of members and provide feedback to the boards with advice for next steps. ClubMark advised the joint boards that golf and tennis are on the decline not only locally, but all over the nation and the strategy that works in other communities should be adapted by the Covenant. The way to increase membership at both clubs is to increase amenities that appeal to a broader demographic that included a pool, casual dining and health club. 2. Can you explain the process that led to the $350,000 feasibility study? Slosar: When I began on the RSF

An updated rendering of the Covenant Club pool deck. Association board in 2013 the Golf and Association boards were presented with ClubMark’s recommendations to add amenities. I volunteered to lead a steering committee to explore the possibility of adding such amenities. For over a year our team worked to bring the issue to members for a vote. In November 2014 members voted affirmatively to spend $350,000 for studying the feasibility of the Covenant Club on the joint Golf and Tennis campus in between the Player’s Clubhouse and Tennis Club. Language in the ballot also included assurances that following the feasibility phase, the Covenant Club would be brought to another community-wide vote. We are still in the feasibility phase and while slightly delayed, expect to bring the Covenant Club plan to vote in the Fall

of 2016. 3. Does the RSF Association board plan to proceed with the $15.8 million Covenant Club design? Slosar: No. The first step of any major project is the initial feasibility. This came back with a $15.8 million price tag. Now the next logical step in the feasibility study is being taken — scrutinizing the results, value-engineering the preliminary design, collecting feedback from the community, and exploring a feasible financing plan. Only after further input from the community and completion of a reasonable design and financial model will the members vote on the Club. 4. Will the board be spending more money to come up a final design and financial plan beyond that already allocated for the feasibility

study? Slosar: No. 5. Has the committee or staff done any other analysis or financial planning? Slosar: Staff has been working to establish bids on aspects of the project that were not yet value-engineered to get real solid numbers for a further refinement of the estimator’s report. Additionally, a scaled down version of the Covenant Club is also being reviewed. As far as the financial planning, a pro-forma was completed over two years ago and has undergone only slight modifications. Further review and analysis has been ongoing by staff and members of the Covenant Club subcommittees. The analysis is not done yet, but the new plan will likely be significantly less expensive and more financially attractive than the preliminary design and cost estimate. When this work is complete there is expected to be an option in the $10 million range. 6. Will the community have an opportunity to give additional input on the design, location, and financing? Slosar: Yes. We will continue to hold open meetings and encourage everyone in the community to provide feedback, suggestions, comments, and questions. Our next subcommittee meeting is scheduled for Friday, June 10 at 9 a.m. Location is not yet determined, but will be noticed to all members as soon as possible. It is open to all Covenant members. 7. Will the RSF Association members have an opportunity to vote on the final plan? Slosar: Yes. We are aiming for September SEE SLOSAR, A21

SB School District seeks firms for reconstruction, modernization projects BY KRISTINA HOUCK If Solana Beach School District receives the required funding, two of its oldest schools will receive much -needed improvements. The school board on April 21 unanimously gave district staff the green light to advertise a request for qualifications from construction firms for the reconstruction of Skyline School and the modernization of Solana Highlands School. As part of the long-range facilities master planning process, the district identified capital improvement projects districtwide. The district initiated the process in 2011 and the

completed plan was presented to the board in 2013. The two projects identified to move forward in spring 2017, pending funding, are the reconstruction of Skyline School and the modernization of Solana Highlands School. With a need for school improvements, the district is currently exploring whether to place a general obligation bond to pay for them on the ballot in November 2016. Founded in 1925, the Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools, including Solana Santa Fe in RSF, and a child development center. In 2014, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch

Elementary School, in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other schools, however, opened decades ago and need to be updated. Skyline School, for example, was constructed in phases between 1955 and 1961 and was modernized in 2000. In preparation for a potential bond measure, the district is currently working with architects and engineers on improvement projects for the schools. Architectural firms are in the design phase of the Skyline and Solana Highlands projects, which are scheduled to be submitted to the Division of the State Architect for review in October. The Division

of the State Architect provides design and construction oversight for K-12 schools, community colleges, and various other state-owned and leased facilities. As part of the process, the district plans to establish a committee to review the request for qualifications and perform interviews, if applicable. The committee will give consideration to firms with proven performance records for “timely and expedient completion of construction projects,” according to the staff report. A recommendation for construction firms will be presented to the board for approval.

A Message from the Desk of John Kratzer Moving Forward April 25th, 2016 by John Kratzer Like most of you, I feel blessed to live in Rancho Santa Fe and care deeply for our community. As a result, I am both proud and concerned by what I see going on around us. While I admittedly do not understand all of the history, I have witnessed a positive transformation over the last two years by the current Association Board. I have seen a genuine commitment to more transparency; more convenient meeting times; higher voter registration; and proper accounting and financial statements. While not perfect, the Board has made positive changes and the trend lines are moving in the right direction. I am particularly impressed with the leadership shown by Mike Licosati, Kim Eggleston, and Philip Wilkinson of the Tech Committee in developing an extraordinary plan for state-of-the-art fiber Internet for our community. This will improve our lives and increase the values of our homes. I am certain that these positive changes are attributable to a committed, thoughtful and progressive Board that is focused on generating meaningful results for our community and not on division. That is why I was disturbed to find that my name (along with others) was attached without our permission to an “endorsement” poster hanging outside of the post office. This is the kind of misinformation and misrepresentation that has previously plagued our community. In this case, the misrepresentation by a member of the RSF Homeowner’s Group is problematic on many levels:

First, as you may know, in addition to being a resident, my company owns the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. As such, we generally do not get involved in endorsements. Second, Ken Markstein did not authorize the use of a list of personal friends for this purpose. As a result, relationships have been strained and he has been forced to spend time on “damage control”. Finally, I have never met the other two candidates on the RSF Homeowner’s Group slate and believe that Rachel Laffer, Terry Peay, and Rachel Leheny offer the community an opportunity to continue the positive trend in good governance and have demonstrated a commitment to this end. I do not want to go back to the days of governing by rumor and innuendo, backroom deals like the $12 million Osuna Ranch purchase and other questionable real estate transactions, or the stonewalling of efforts to protect our home values. I encourage you to vet the candidates for yourself and vote for those who represent the kind of consensus-driven decision-making promoted by the current Board. We will always have differences, but all have a stake in protecting the value of our homes and the livability of our community. Sincerely,

John Kratzer

TPHS students’ mental CCA Foundation Online Auction opens April 30 health awareness PSA wins award Torrey Pines High School PALS (Peer Assistance Listeners) students were big winners in the statewide Directing Change student film competition. The students created 60-second mental health and suicide prevention public service announcements as part of their Yellow Ribbon Week activities last month. More than 450 videos were submitted throughout the state and three of the eight TPHS PALS films submitted placed in the top three in the San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange County region. The film “This is Me” finished in first place in the mental health matters category, earning $500 in prize money—the PALS’ film now moves on to the state level with winners announced at an awards ceremony in Glendale on May 20. “This is Me” was created by students Chelsea Barrows, Kiya Klopfenstein, Grace Bashour and Paige Straky. In the film a student walks the Torrey Pines campus alone, looking at her Instagram posts. She talks about struggling with mental health and feeling isolated and alone until she opened up and shared with her friends. “This is me, these are my moments and this is my life beyond my mental health challenges,” a voiceover reads over Instagram posts at the beach. “It’s important to remember that social media doesn’t show every aspect of someone’s life. Don’t forget to log out and have a real conversation with those you love.” The spot closes with a friend coming to join the student in conversation. Torrey Pines students Avery Spicker, Ellena Whitfield, Anna Brooks Reed and Akhil Perimbeti were awarded second place in the suicide prevention category, earning a cash prize of $250. The film “Textbooks”, submitted by Madison Wickham, Christopher Vilchis, Jaden Watkins and Paytin Lalonde was named a third place winner in the mental health matters category for the region, also receiving a cash prize of $250.

Rancho Santa Fe resident changes the game for kids through golf BY KRISTINA HOUCK For more than 20 years, a local nonprofit has proven that the game of golf can be a game-changer for kids. Pro Kids provides golf training and school tutoring to underprivileged children in City Heights and Oceanside. “It’s unbelievable to see the impact our program has on these kids,” said Rancho Santa Fe resident and Pro Kids Board President Bill Fontana. “It’s an amazing program.” Founded in 1994 by former San Diego Chargers tackle Ernie Wright, the organization partnered with the city of San Diego and the San Diego Unified School District to use Colina Park Golf Course to teach life-skills and golf to inner-city children. Pro Kids later become an affiliate of The First Tee, an international youth golf and education program that has helped more than 10.5 million children since 1997. Pro Kids started a scholarship program in 1999, which has since awarded $1.8 million in awards to 141 students. In 2001, the organization opened its more than 7,000-square-foot Learning Center, which houses a community room, computer lab, classrooms, pro shop and swing simulator room. Replicating the success of its flagship program in City Heights, Pro Kids opened a second facility in 2011 in Oceanside. Today, the organization serves more than 1,500 students ages 7-17 throughout San Diego County each year. “We’ve got a dynamic group of people who are giving their time and their effort to make this program something very special,” said Fontana, whose wife, Karen, serves as a mentor

for the organization. Born and raised in San Diego, Fontana earned a bachelor’s degree in business at Pepperdine University and went on to work as a developer for decades in the San Diego region. He was the co-founder and president of Westana Builders, a company that constructed about 2,500 homes in a little more than 10 years. After he retired, Fontana and his wife purchased a second home in Hawaii, where the couple stayed for several months out of the year. Struggling with this new phase in his life, a doctor suggested Fontana get involved with the community when he returned to San Diego. That’s when a close friend connected him

with Pro Kids and he got his first look at the City Heights site. Pro Kids founder, the late Ernie Wright, was there that day. “He was a very engaging personality,” Fontana recalled. “He convinced me, after I had a chance to listen to his story, to go on the board.” Fontana joined the board of directors in 2002. He has served as president of the board for the past few years. “It is an absolutely unbelievably great organization,” said Fontana, a father of three and grandfather of six. “If Ernie Wright was alive right now, he would just be blown away, I think, about how successful this program he got off the ground with virtually nothing has become.”

To continue to grow the program, Pro Kids is holding its annual fundraiser, Celebrates, May 7, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Hotel. The organization will honor Peter Ueberroth for his lifetime of contributions to sports and sportsmanship. From 1980 to 1984, Ueberroth was president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, the organization responsible for staging the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. He served as commissioner of Major League Baseball between 1984 and 1989. Ueberroth is currently managing director of Contrarian Group, an investment and management company. He is also owner and co-chairman of the Pebble Beach Company. “Peter Ueberroth exemplifies the nine core values we promote in delivering character development and life skills to the young people we serve: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment,” said Pro Kids CEO Keith Padgett. “He agreed to honor us by serving as the honoree,” Fontana said. The reception starts at 6 p.m., followed by the dinner and program at 7 p.m. A table for 10 at the event is $3,000. Individual tickets are $300. “Our whole organization is geared around providing opportunity for kids,” Fontana said. “We’re really there just to provide a helping hand for these kids.” For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.thefirstteesandiego.org/celebrates.

Cheetah Charity Runners seek others to help kids with cancer BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN t age 15, Yuntaisha has gone through more suffering than the average person in a lifetime. She beat leukemia when she was 4, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2013. Yuntaisha’s family doesn’t own a car, and lives a two-and-a-half-hour bus ride away from Rady Children’s Hospital, where she receives treatment. Her mother, La Toya Johnson, said she would have to take three buses and a trolley to get there. The Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF) helps families like Yuntaisha’s. Its program, “Ride with Emilio,” gives children with cancer and their parents rides to the hospital. “To know that the foundation is there to provide that transportation whenever you need it, is amazing … I0 couldn’t ask for anything better,” Johnson said. La Jollans Sheryl and James Sheremita created the Cheetah Charity Runners (CCR) to raise funds for ENF in June 2015. Their first team of 65 runners collected $100,000 by running marathons (26 miles) and half marathons (13 miles). “Each person has a fundraising website and they ask people to fund us while they are training,” Sheryl said. James commented, “It’s very significant and important that we have this local connection.

The organization is right here, so we can meet the families and see what’s happening.” The CCR founders are putting together their team for the fall season and need more volunteers to help their mission. Volunteers get a personalized training plan from the Sheremitas, who are experienced coaches and long-time runners. James won the La Jolla Half Marathon two years in a row (1991 and 1992), among many other national and international races. Sheryl estimates the CCR team will cover more than 80,000 miles this year, at premier destination races that include the Kauai Half Marathon on Sept. 4, 2016, and the Dublin Marathon on Oct. 30, 2016. The fall team will start training in June. To register, volunteers pay a $50 registration fee. There is a minimum fundraising goal of $750 to attend the marathons. “Some people cover the $750 themselves, and others raise all the money,” Sheryl said. “I have seen people raise up to 10,000 in a single event.” James called the experience “a complete package.” “If you just train for a race event, it’s just about you. And if you are fundraising for a cause, but there are no activities involved, you might feel like something is missing. And combining both, that’s creating an energy that’s very powerful, motivational and

Runners of all levels are invited to participate in the program. Diane Nares, co-founder of ENF, said she was a first-time runner when she joined the team last summer. After four months of training, she was able to complete her first half marathon (Big Sur, November 2015). “They take people from the couch to running a half marathon. It was very transformational for me to be able to push myself to go to that level and be inspired by the other runners,” Nares said. Nares’ son, Emilio, died in 2000 of leukemia at age 6. Two years after Emilio passed away, Nares and her husband, Richard, founded ENF to help other children with cancer. “We started getting calls from workers at the oncology unit who said there were families who needed support with transportation,” Nares said.

The Nares started out with Richard giving rides in his own car. Today, they have two vans in San Diego and one more in Imperial County, and they’ve provided more than 30,000 rides over the years. The nonprofit also has other services for children and families. It has a fund to pay for funerals, or to support parents who stop working during their children’s last months of life, should it come to that. The Johnson family has been using the “Ride With Emilio” services for more than 10 years. ENF also brought Yuntaisha and her siblings to watch the horse races and bought her a guitar for Christmas. “If I could have two words to describe ENF, they would be ‘blessing’ and ‘amazing,’” mom Johnson said. ■ IF YOU VOLUNTEER: Training starts in June for the fall season.

How much EXTRA did you pay in taxes on April 15? It’s disturbing to know that 45 percent of Americans paid no Federal Income Taxes in 2015! A Torrey Pines Pop Warner team huddles up.

COURTESY

Torrey Pines Pop Warner sees increase in registration Torrey Pines Pop Warner registration is open for football and cheer teams, and the group has seen a huge increase in its registrations compared with this time last year. As of the non-profit’s first in-person registration on Sunday, April 17, there was a 50 percent increase from last year. “We are ecstatic about the numbers,” said Ward Wilsey, the Torrey Pines Pop Warner Board president. “There’s a ton of kids in this area who want to play tackle football, and the signups are a reflection of that.” Cheer Coordinator Sara Malo reflected on the increase in cheer numbers. “We’ve worked hard to develop great teams that are competitive in national cheer competitions.” Malo said. “That success is translating into more girls wanting to be a part of the program.”

Pop Warner football programs across the nation have suffered from declining numbers, mainly related to concerns about concussions and head injuries. “Injuries are always a concern with contact sports, but we’ve taken great steps to ensure player safety,” Wilsey said. “Our implementation of rugby style tackling and shoulder blocking has encouraged kids to take their helmet and heads out of the equation. Parents are starting to get comfortable because the game is much safer than it was in the past.” Pop Warner registration is still open, but teams are filling up fast. Wilsey advises parents to register as soon as possible in order to be assigned on a team and avoid be placed on a waiting list, as teams are limited to 24 players.

Village Church Spring Luncheon to focus on ‘Hope in a World of Chaos’ Women from across San Diego are invited to attend the May 11 Spring Luncheon at the Village Church with special guest Dr. Carolyn G.

Dr. Bishop will speak about “Hope in a World of Chaos” following an 11:30 a.m. luncheon at the church’s Fellowship Center. In her role as president of CGE, Dr. Bishop leads a worldwide effort including dozens of colleges and universities that strive to educate students to use their knowledge and skills to make a significant impact in other nations. “This is a wonderful opportunity to hear about Dr. Bishop’s efforts to encourage positive development in communities and educational institutions in more than 80 countries. Her work provides a beacon of hope for generations to come,” said the Rev. Dr. Jan Farley, associate pastor of the Village Church.

How much did you pay? Where e to look? Find your 2015 tax return: The e front page is Form 1040. Check line 63 (which hich shows how much you paid in federal income taxes). t ) Next, check your California tax return Form 540 and find line 64. Find your Kleenex box and calculator, total both numbers and divide by 12. That number is what you paid, on average, each month last year. Shocked? Want to be shocked even more? Most of you reading this actually paid more than you should — why? You probably only had your taxes prepared vs. planned. Has your tax preparer ever taken time to read and explain your return with any suggestions? Keep this in mind: Taxes are not just taxes — taxes are dollars. Our firm does not prepare taxes — we leave that to the accountants, enrolled agents, CPAs and tax attorneys. However, we do READ tax returns, and (just maybe) could show you some ideas and strategies so you will only pay your “fair share” and no more than necessary. In my 30-plus years as a private financial planner, I have reviewed literally thousands of tax returns — and the great majority of people simply pay much more than necessary. I have clients who pay zero taxes and some others who pay more than $1M in taxes. It’s interesting to review these tax returns and great to show people how they might be able to reduce their tax liabilities. My challenge to you is to find your most recent tax return. If it’s your 2015, jot down what you paid in federal and California taxes — total both and divide by 12. Remember, that number is what you paid, on average, each month last year. Wow, you say! Did I really pay THAT much? Yep, you did! So what to do if you want to potentially pay less this year?

OUR READERS WRITE SFID Water Rate Increase Protest At the April 21 Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) board meeting, I turned in my written protest to the proposed increases. I am in my fourth year as an SFID board member, and these are my personal opinions: 1) Don’t be misled by the “9-9-9” increase. The rates are not being spread equally. Some customers will pay less than current rates, but if you use a normal amount of water for a larger property you will see over a 20 percent increase in the first year. Compounded rate increases for the new higher tiers will be near 50 percent over three years. 2) The SFID board was initially told it would receive multiple rate scenarios from the consultant we used for the Cost of Service Study. We essentially received only one, and my attempts to vote for more scenarios were blocked by the SFID board in a 3-2 vote. 3) Legally defensible cost studies are based on a set of assumptions. I strongly disagree with the assumptions used in the cost study that was approved by the SFID board in a 3-2 vote, over my objections. 4) The cost study assumes about 30 percent availability of Lake Hodges water to justify the new rate increase structure. However, SFID’s 2016 budget and the proposed 2017 budget only assume 9 percent Lake Hodges water, which is a glaring inconsistency. Without ample local water, I do not see how the lower water tier rates can be financially justified. 5) The proposed rate structure also loads many of the fixed costs of the SFID, such as the cost of all employees pay and our fixed cost of debt service, etc. into our water use rates, not into our meter fees. I believe that a higher percentage of our fixed costs should be in our meter fees, which vary by size of meter on your property. 6) If more SFID fixed costs were in meter fees, then there would be no need for higher “drought rates,” which is where everyone really pays more for using less water. The reason for drought rates is that with lower water sales (revenue), the district is not supporting its fixed costs. We have currently been drawing down our reserves because of this. The SFID cost study consultant has told the SFID board that their approach is similar to other studies they perform. But they have also said during board meetings that other valid assumptions could be used and also be defensible. I would like to see a revised Cost of Service Study and a new rate proposal, as would

Director Marlene King. The three directors who happen to represent the Solana Beach general area have voted 3 to 2 to deny additional rate analysis. If you are concerned and agree with my opinions, you can protest the rate increase by May 19, but it must be in writing. You can also show up for the public meeting on the same date. Greg Gruzdowich

Reality Check for the Covenant Club Most agree that the Covenant Club with its $16 million price tag is not feasible. I have observed the process that resulted in that staggering number and was surprised how the facility was promoted in a letter last week. The author suggested that the cost will be reduced and financing solutions will be found, along with an agreeable design that will enhance our golf and tennis clubs. She concluded that there will be a reasonable proposal to bring to a community-wide vote. Her letter was optimistic and reassuring, but hardly realistic. Let’s look at the facts: •The final design and cost estimates were presented to the community by the Design Subcommittee on Feb. 22, 2016. A three-dimensional model has been commissioned for $15,000 based on that final design. The $16 million was arrived at by a professional cost-estimating firm. The thought that an Association staff member can “value-engineer” that figure to something acceptable is unlikely without major design changes. • The $16 million cost estimate has been delivered to the Covenant Club Finance and Membership & Marketing Subcommittees so that financing and membership models can be developed. That will be difficult because there is no way that the construction and ongoing costs can be massaged enough to make membership affordable, even with help from the Covenant Enhancement Fund. • The budget of $350,000 for the feasibility study is all but exhausted. If the cost of the new plans and “value-engineering” is not within that original budget, let’s admit that there is a new feasibility study underway. While it may be within the purview of the board to approve a new study without a vote, let’s get community approval. • The vast majority of golf and tennis members oppose the project that would squeeze the

Covenant Club between the two existing clubs and would require a super-sized parking lot. They believe that the new facility would detract from, rather than enhance, the open and rural nature of their existing clubs. Our community approved a feasibility study that, like it or not, projects the cost of the Covenant Club to be $16 million. That unfavorable outcome does not dictate further work. We cannot magically “value-engineer” and redesign the project to find “a reasonable proposal” without additional cost. That additional cost surely would push the study over its agreed-upon budget of $350,000. So, we are at an important crossroad – we could vote on the outcome of the current feasibility study, or vote to authorize a new feasibility study for costs above the agreed-upon budget, or accept that the Covenant Club, in the proposed location, at a cost $16 million, is not feasible.

Water Issues Open Letter to the Santa Fe Irrigation District: Your water rate increases are going through the roof! Where’s the transparency in the new water rates if we don’t have a clue on the real reasons for the increase? Our water comes from several different sources at different costs. Why do some properties receive a reduced rate when everyone else gets a higher rate? Are all water costs the same to all properties? If not, why? Water is water to your customers so why do different areas have different water cost rates? Even if you don’t blend the water sources, shouldn’t you blend the water rates to be fair to everyone? Blending the different water costs would equalize the costs to everyone. Are there really different rates of water costs for different sized properties and/or different locations, aside from reclaimed water that is not for residential use? It would appear that some properties get a reduction in their rates regardless of whether those properties have instituted all available water conservation measures. How is this far? The proposed rates charge the least expensive water to many homes with lots essentially based on the smaller size of those properties. Why do some properties receive a reduced rate when everyone else gets a higher rate? How is that fair and equitable? What about the huge lawsuit that has recently been won that will provide a future windfall for SEE LETTERS, A19

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - APRIL 28, 2016 - PAGE A19

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) FROM LETTERS, A18 the SFID? You say you had reserves, what were they spent on or do we still have some reserves? Your average of 9 percent, 9 percent, 9 percent over the next 2 -and-a-half years is not compounded and is misleading. This probably represents the very low side of what will happen and is not the much higher costs that most people will see on their water bills increasing starting in June 2016 and then increasing again seven months later in January 2017 and then increasing again a year later in 2018! Do people really understand that there are two types of increases – one for the fixed rate for your size of meter and then the higher rates for water used above the base with an added tier and new ranges? Both are changing and compounding the new total water rate of increase for most of the properties. One final question – Do all of the current board members receive the proposed 9 percent rate increases on their property or are their increases considerably below the 9 percent average in the areas where they live? While this letter was addressed to the SFID board, I encourage all ratepayers to sign a protest letter now before May 19 to get some real answers from the SFID Board of Directors before our water rates go through the roof!

Correction Recently, a list of names was posted near the Post Office, people who ostensibly had given their names in support of three candidates for the RSF Association board. Unfortunately, due to some miscommunication, the names of some of those individuals were used inappropriately - without permission to use them in this context. The names were taken down as soon as the error was discovered. The mistake was unintentional and we sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding. Neither the candidates nor the RSF Homeowners Group were in any way responsible. Susan Woolley

Solar installation not in keeping with community’s rural beauty Last week a letter to the editor, from Amanda Cascadden, wrote to applaud the large-scale solar installation on Camino Del Norte just west of Rancho Del Lago. She explained she is relatively new to the Ranch, so a little background for her might be helpful: •This historic village, master planned by Lilian Rice almost a century ago, was designed to be a rural community with large lots and plenty of open space. •The Santa Fe Land Company even went to the expense to build Lake Hodges reservoir to capture the waters of the San Dieguito River and rainwater (environmentally responsible before its time). •The community and its residents have sought to maintain and enhance that rural beauty over the years with guidelines and a Design Review Community. •Ms. Cascadden goes on a wide-ranging

diatribe about coal, not leaving our kids and grandkids a dismal future, nuclear power and “smiling” at the loss many in the community are feeling with this industrial installation. Since she is new, I would point out that the Ranch doesn’t use coal and takes amazing care of our kids and grandkids with one of the best schools in the country and a high percentage of college attendance. Even in her letter, there is a quote from her “if you drive down any road in the ranch and look hard enough you will see solar installations.” That is the exact point! Ranch residents wanting to maintain the rural look and feel have installed their solar discreetly and with respect for their neighbors and community. By the amount of solar she points out we have, we are also a responsible community. The installation on Camino Del Norte is: •Oversized, industrial and positioned right on the road where it can’t be missed. •Interestingly, it is also positioned so the only people that can’t see it are the homeowners that installed it. They clearly don’t want to look at it either. In conclusion, Ranch residents are largely responsible, respectable good parents and grandparents that moved here for the rural beauty. Calling the people “ridiculous” that feel that this is an oversized solar industrial installation in a residential community in plain sight and no effort has been made to disguise it, doesn’t seem real neighborly. The installation is a blight and certainly not in keeping with the “California Historical Landmark” designation we earned and the rural beauty we have protected for so many years. Robert Dalton

Administrative Staff As I reflect on the past two years of performance by the current RSF Association Board of Directors, I wonder how they could have made so many decisions that caused conflict and expense to RSF members. Remember the Mabee letter and lawsuit ($?), roundabouts ($), Covenant Club ($350,000), cell towers ($100,000 study), Moores applications ($) and RSF bylaw changes. All past RSF boards were able to rely on the administration staff of the Association to either avoid pitfalls or adopt a form of presentation that allowed for informed interchange instead of massive conflict. Then I happened upon the following information about what’s happened to our administrative staff over the past two years. l. In the past two years 10 of the Association’s 14-person administrative staff have left. This represents an annual turnover rate of 35 percent. 2. The 10 employees that left represent over 125 years of employment and experience with the Association that has been lost. 3. In the five years prior to the current RSF Board of Directors only two administration employees had left. This represents an annual turnover rate of less than l percent per year. 4. Out of the 10 new employees, two have already left. Both left their job without giving any notice. This represents a 20 percent turnover in the last two years. The total turnover rate for Administration is 85 percent or 42 percent per year for the last two years. 5. In 2014 the average length of

employment per employee in Administration was 13.21 years. Today the average length of employment is 3.62 and that is because one of the bookkeepers in accounting has been there for 27 years. Without the one long-term employee the average drops to 2.25 years for the entire Administrative staff. 6. In 2014 no Administrative employee had been with the Association less than two years. Today, only four administrative employees have been with the Association longer than two years. Today about 60 percent of the Administration staff has been with the Association for one year or less. 7. In 2014 the total number of Administration staff was 14 and had been at the level for 12 years. Today the total number of open Administrative employees is 18. This represents a 28 percent increase in staffing for administration in less than two years. 8. In 2014 the 14 Administrative employees had a total of over 185 years with the Association. Today the 18 administrative employees have a total of 65 years with the

Association. As I write this letter I’m not sure we still have an Association manager. Bill Hinchy, RANCHO SANTA FE

Stay Positive As a former RSF Association Director, I learned about politics here. I don’t often submit editorials, but recent published opinions by the same negative people, compel me to write. With our election, voters need to see the connection among this disgruntled minority, our ex-manager who left under controversial circumstances, leaders of the RSF Public Interest Committee (“PIC”), a closed political organization dominating elections until 2014, their candidates, and goals. The disgruntled members, many of whom belong to PIC, include former board members who purchased Osuna Ranch for $12 million without a vote of the membership. The ex-manager was in charge then.

Time to Differentiate All six candidates for election to the Association Board say some of the same things and undoubtedly mean them: • Preserve the rural character of the Ranch • Improve cell phone service without using 90’ towers • Solve our broadband issues. Three of the candidates, Rachel Laffer, Rachel Leheny and Terry Peay, are running on identical platforms, have a joint website and are endorsed by current and continuing Board members Ann Boon, Kim Eggleston and Mike Licosati. Clearly, these three candidates want to continue Association business as usual. One of these candidates has even stated, “I have watched the Board become a model of responsible, thoughtful government.” All current directors are hard working, dedicated and well meaning. However, I believe the Board is not “a model of responsible, thoughtful government.” Quite the contrary. I have seen a lot of boards of this country’s largest corporations in action throughout my career. I know ﬁrst-hand the importance of sharing information and listening, understanding and responding to stakeholders. I know our Association Board can and must do better to reduce the polarization that exists in our community. The membership should support independent-thinking, experienced candidates who will work with the continuing directors to make best corporate governance practices a reality. Above all, I don’t believe electing three people who share the same platform and think exactly like three continuing directors is any way to encourage the independent thinking that our community needs right now or is likely to make our Board better. In fact, it is a pretty good way to ensure that the future will mirror the past. I have my own priorities, a few include: • Let’s get our house in order. The unrest and turnover at senior staff levels is disturbing. We need the kind of professional management in place that eliminates the need for directors to micromanage. We need stability. • Let’s focus on the Covenant Enhancement Fund. I believe that assessing our members before determining and disclosing how those funds will be used is inconsistent with Davis-Stirling. The Association’s new auditors are troubled by the existence of the CEF and the methods used to allocate its funds. There should be no more assessments for the CEF and no more CEF funds should be expended on any project not approved by the members. • Let’s not devote any more money or staff time to the Covenant Club. The three candidates supported by three continuing directors believe that “the project should be valueengineered.” I say it is time for the Board to move on and put this divisive issue behind us. The time to differentiate is now! ~ Allen Finkelson

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) FROM LETTERS, A19 predecessor, the ex- manager currently has a consulting firm whose clients have two controversial real estate developments in process in the RSF Association (RSFA). He also has a contract dispute with us. PIC’s recent bylaws presentation illustrates the connection among these parties. Contrary to its name “Public Interest,” PIC’s meetings are historically private. PIC made this meeting open. It chose this ex-manager, a resident of Ramona, not RSF, with financial and personal interests at odds with RSFA, to lead its bylaws discussion, including who should have the right to vote. Not surprisingly, the ex-manager said the bylaws, carefully constructed under his and his current partner’s tenure, generally should remain unchanged. PIC was never concerned when the bylaws were amended 12 times since 1990 without much discussion, consolidating their power. Now, PIC has issues. Twelve chances to make voting fair, but PIC did not want to correct the cumbersome, confusing and expensive registration procedure that deterred new members from voting. In 2013, only 561 ballots were returned, down from 1,305 in 2001. PIC did nothing because their minority influence is greater with less participation. The ex-manager’s apparent purpose is to complicate, confuse, imply changes were sloppy, and the process flawed. Ironically, a member-attorney of the Governing Documents Committee who is endorsed by PIC, was not chosen to lead the discussion, indicating PIC doesn’t want anything changed or accomplished. PIC doesn’t serve “public” interests, it serves private ones including the narrow agenda of its leaders and its operative the ex-manager. By now this group’s goal is apparent to readers: They want to regain political power and management of our HOA. To do so, they fill the pages of the Review with divisive politics, complaining about projects and leaders not under their control, endorsing candidates to meet their ends. Please join me in turning away from this group’s negative focus. Let’s stay positive by voting for candidates who want members, not just directors, to vote on major projects; who honor fiduciary duties to all members, not just an interested few or outsiders.

‘Signs of Spring’ Spring is here again! Flowers are blooming, birds are singing and Covenant residents are looking forward to the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Board of Directors’ election — or are they? If history repeats itself, our members can expect to see hundreds of campaign signs planted in the right-of-ways and FedEx envelopes in every driveway.

Ask yourself, why would anyone spend thousands of dollars on campaign propaganda for three candidates who are vying for a nonpaying, volunteer seat on a homeowners’ board of directors? Where is this funding coming from and why? Isn’t this a blatant effort to get your vote? Is this what they meant when they promised transparency? Take a look at all the candidates and read their bios carefully. What are the qualifications of each candidate? Have they ever served on any Rancho Santa Fe Association committee? These are some questions we need to consider. Yes, unfortunately, May and June in the Ranch are going to bring a lot more than birds and flowers. Suzy Schaefer

‘A Shocking Proposal’ If you live in Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe or Fairbanks Ranch you are now at risk of seeing your water rates rise by up to 80 percent or more, unless you act now. On May 19, the Santa Fe Irrigation District intends to vote to give itself the power to raise your rates dramatically. They want to be able to raise your rates even if their costs remain the same, and even though there is plenty of water in San Diego County for all of us. Their proposal would eliminate all incentive to push back against politically-motivated water cuts driven by a radical left-wing agenda in Sacramento. You deserve better. We all deserve better. The good news is that the California Constitution gives us the power to object to such outrageous proposals. If you are a resident of Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe or Fairbanks Ranch, you can stop this, by sending an objection form to the Santa Fe Irrigation District no later than May 18. To print a copy of the form, go to www.rsfpost.com/sfid_protest_form To win, it is essential that every one of us sign the form! Let’s send them back to the drawing board. They need to develop a proposal that is fair and reasonable, and that protects our communities and our pocketbooks from Sacramento politicians. Don Billings, SOLANA BEACH

Reclaiming Sacred Space: Compassionate Computing and Cellphone Use in Schools Here at The Grauer School, it seems every year we have more conversations about how ubiquitous cellphone technology is becoming. We debate if it’s addictive. We talk about what students, teachers and parents should do. We ramp up the policy or decline to. We’d much rather teach “discretion” and

self-regulation than control. What about emergencies? Calculators on our phones? Whatever we decide, annually it seems it’s only a partial solution. As our Dean of Students, Clayton Payne, expressed, “Interruptive technology always gains in ubiquity faster than we can address it.” The classroom is a sacred space. When students use technology, they are not in that space. They are in a different room. The classroom world and the digital world are separate worlds. Our peace of mind is breached when cell phones keep us, our children and teachers under surveillance. Concentration is adulterated and privacy violated. Not long ago, I asked students what it was like being so tethered. What I discovered was students feel they need to be digitally tethered to friends and parents. But, to many, open cellphone use doesn’t resemble freedom. When I told students they couldn’t stay by the phone, that we couldn’t continue this practice in class, many were anxious. The most common reason was worry their parents would be angry with them for not staying in touch. “The misconception of urgency is yet another sign of addiction,” notes English teacher John Rubio. Students express they need a hand and are trapped in this digital lure. They want guidance and our school feels some responsibility. Not all schools feel this—some free and democratic schools, particularly very small ones, leave it up to the students. We currently define “compassionate computing” as using your digital device while maintaining full awareness of those you are with. To re-establish eye to eye connection in a cellphone-free environment, we’ve instituted a “cellphone storage pocket caddy” to hang inside the door of every classroom. According to Nielsen, the average teenager now sends 3,339 texts per month. Studies show that multitasking like that is incompatible with serious cognitive work. Suggested protocol includes: • Silence their devices putting them face down. • Every 15 minutes, allow students to check phones for a minute. • Gradually increase the interval to 30 minutes. • If protocol is violated, students forfeit the next phone break. • Using phones as part of a learning experience. There are many places the minds of our students can go in our classrooms and at dinner tables It’s time to draw some clear lines. Check your phones at the door. Be here now. The classroom is sacred space. Stuart Grauer, PhD, THE GRAUER SCHOOL

FROM SLOSAR, A2 2016. 8. What are your next steps? Slosar: We continue to refine the preliminary cost estimate for the capital expenditure as well as the membership fees. We also intend to contact philanthropists with a capital donations and a naming campaign as soon as we have the project estimates completed. We have our next meeting on June 10. After incorporating community input from that meeting, we hope to have the vote for the Covenant Club on a ballot in September 2016. 9. Is there any misinformation going around the community that you would like to clear up? Slosar: Yes. First, this isn’t a project of the “Board” or the “Covenant Club Committee.” This project was brought to us by the Golf Club board’s hired consultant as well as community members who wanted us to explore an option to build a facility similar to those that are now standard in similar, high-end communities. We have a fiduciary duty to

see this process through. And contrary to the divisive rhetoric, we aren’t spending any more money than was approved by the community to do so. Second, I keep hearing that the board is going to “build the Covenant Club no matter what.” This is simply untrue. The board has a responsibility to the members who voted for a feasibility study to finish the full due diligence such a study entails. Only after this process is completed will we have a final plan. And only if the community votes in favor of the final plan will we build such a facility. Every member will have an opportunity to vote. Please keep an open mind until you see the full plan. 10. After your term will you still be considered chair of the Covenant Club committee? Slosar: Although my term is ending June 30 I would like to continue as Chair of the Covenant Club. However, just like other board committees, I would serve at the pleasure of the board and they will be the ones to decide who leads the committee.

FROM BUDGET, A1 that it relies on assumptions from a rate study they contend was flawed. According to a staff report prepared on the budget, the district’s expenditures next fiscal year would include operating costs of about $23 million, capital projects of $11.3 million and debt service of $1.3 million, for a total of $35.6 million. Total revenues are projected at $28.3 million; the gap would be filled from reserves, with just under $1 million coming from the district’s rate stabilization fund, and $6.3 million taken from the capital improvement fund. District general manager Michael Bardin cautioned the board that even with the proposed rate increases in June and January, the district will be unable to contribute to its reserve funds this fiscal year, and that total reserves will fall below the level required by board policy. Among the factors cited in a staff report for the tight fiscal situation are that water sales — and therefore district revenue — are down due to state-mandated water-use cutbacks; less than normal availability of cheaper, local water due to the drought; and increases in imported water costs from the district’s suppliers. The proposed new budget calls for $6.9 million in labor costs for a workforce of 46 full-time positions, up 7.1 percent from the current year. The additional labor costs of $460,000 include funding for one new position, three temporary positions and a 5 percent employee raise spread over the next three years, which was granted by the board in December. Before the board considers approval of the budget, however, it will tackle the issue of the proposed rate increases. Under state law, if the districts receives 3,253 written protests from customers — representing a simple majority from owners of parcels with water meters —

The protests must be hand-written and signed, and delivered to the district office either by U.S. mail or in person. Emails, faxes or copies of protest letters will not be accepted, Parks said. The deadline for submittal of protests is the May 19 meeting. At the board’s March meeting, the panel voted 3-2, with Gruzdowich and King dissenting, not to include a clip-out protest form with a mailer about the proposed rate increase sent to Santa Fe customers. A similar protest form was used by the city of San Diego when it was considering a proposed water rate increase. The last in a series of district-sponsored community forums on the proposed rate plan was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26. In other discussion on Thursday, operations manager of the district’s R.E. Badger Filtration Plant sought to reassure the board and district residents that they don’t need to worry about lead contamination in the local water supply, similar to what happened recently in Flint, Mich. “We are not Flint, Michigan, there are a lot of differences between us and Flint,” Shaffer said at the beginning of a brief presentation. The primary differences, he said, are that Flint’s water came from a more corrosive source, and that lead pipes were used to bring water into Flint homes. Neither of those factors are present in the Santa Fe district, and California law strictly limits the amount of lead that can be contained in water pipes and fixtures. Water monitoring to detect lead and other contaminants is conducted both on a monthly and annual basis, said Shaffer. “We’re very low risk of lead and copper in our system,” Shaffer said.

FROM LIMITS, A1 pursue term limits, a citizen’s group could go through the initiative process with the San Diego County Registrar of Voters to place the item on the ballot for an upcoming election. At this time, the board decided not to move forward with changing its policies. Salazar, in favor of term limits, said he didn’t think it was possible to change any of the board’s minds but wanted to bring the issue up. “We don’t have a lot of diversity on this board and I thought if we had term limits, we would be able to have more diversity. We don’t really reflect, I don’t believe, the student population or the parents. Only one of us has a child in school. I’m not saying that I think (being a parent) should be a requirement of being on the school board…but I think it would be a good thing to have maybe more parents on the board.” In addition to the possibility of adding diversity to the board, Salazar said if there were mandatory openings on the board, more people might be encouraged to run. In the last election cycle, SDUHSD did have an incumbent who was not re-elected but Salazar said that is very rare. “I feel like this school district does have a wall around it just because the barrier to entry is difficult,” Salazar said. “This would be like putting a revolving door in.” Trustee Mo Muir said Salazar raised a lot of

FROM SCHMITT, A1 (including the new Dougherty Valley communities in east San Ramon) as well as a small portion of the cities of Walnut Creek and Pleasanton. The District is rapidly expanding and is comprised of 36 schools serving more than 32,000 students in Transitional Kindergarten through Grade 12. The District employs approximately 3,500 people, hiring 250-300 employees per year. With an annual operating budget of over $300 million for the 2016-17 year, SRVUSD receives more than $17 million per year in parent/private donations, and $6.7 million per year from a local parcel tax. SRVUSD is one of the top performing districts in California. Over 94% of graduating seniors attend college or university, and District students are accepted into the University of California and the California State University systems at rates far exceeding state averages. The District has been recognized for its excellence with 23 Gold Ribbon Schools, more than any other district in northern California. It has also been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education through the National Blue Ribbon School program. Schmitt stated, “I am humbled and extremely grateful to have been selected to lead the SRVUSD. I will always be grateful to the SDUHSD community for all it has done for my

good points and she agreed that parents make valuable board members as they are more in touch with what’s going on and more invested. “When you have skin in the game it makes a big difference,” said Muir, who is the only board member with a child in the district, at La Costa Canyon. Trustee Amy Herman said even if there were term limits, it wouldn’t necessarily guarantee that more parents would be on the board. SDUHSD Board Vice President Joyce Dalessandro, who has been on the board for 20 years, said there’s a great deal to be said for incumbency and the commitment that goes along with it. “Every single outstanding board member is completely in touch, visits every single school, goes into classrooms, talks with parents, gets involved with different aspects with what’s happening at different schools. It takes a huge amount of work, no question about that, but it is done,” Dalessandro said. “The board members who have been on the board awhile do that all the time, that’s part of the job, to know the kids, to know the curriculum, to know what the principals are all about, who’s doing what where. It’s the job, we’re expected to do that. And we do, all the time.” Two of the five SDUHSD seats are up for election in November, those held by Dalessandro and President Beth Hergesheimer. The filing deadline for candidates is Aug. 12. family, as both my children graduated from Torrey Pines High School. I wasn’t expecting to leave, but it is a terrific opportunity. I am looking forward to relocating to the Bay Area, where my wife and I started our family many years ago, and where much of our extended family currently lives.” “Mr. Schmitt has been a tremendous asset to the District and I am sad to see him go,” San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustee President Beth Hergesheimer stated, “I understand this is an amazing opportunity for Mr. Schmitt and his family, and know that he will do the same fabulous work in San Ramon as he did here at San Dieguito. Mr. Schmitt accomplished so much in his 13 years at the San Dieguito Union High School District, including establishing a commitment to high community visibility and partnerships, building strong relationships with staff and parents, and leading the work to continually improve student achievement while caring for the overall well being of each student.” Board President Hergesheimer will work with her fellow trustees, staff and the community on replacing Schmitt. Superintendent Schmitt’s last day with the San Dieguito Union High School District will be June 30, 2016. Pending San Ramon Valley Unified School District board approval, Schmitt is expected to start work in San Ramon on July 1, 2016.

Murder, glamour, mystery loom in Playhouse’s ‘Hollywood’ premiere

rish-born American actor/director William Desmond Taylor was a popular figure in the early days of the Hollywood motion-picture scene. He directed 59 silent films between 1914 and 1922 and acted in 27 between 1913 and 1915. In 1922, he was murdered inside his bungalow at the Alvarado Court Apartments in Los Angeles. The murderer was never found and the crime remains a cold case. Perhaps playwright Joe DiPietro’s world premiere of “Hollywood” at the La Jolla Playhouse will shed more light on the mystery. “I’m an old movie buff and growing up, loved movies from the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s,” DiPietro said. “Many are better than most modern movies. The black-and-white photography, the words of dialogue and nature of the dialogue — even under the Hays Code — was stunning in what they were able to do during those early times. That era is really my sweet spot. I’ve always wanted to write something about early Hollywood.” Since the press release announcing the show — production as yet unseen — the Playhouse has extended its run. “That’s quite unusual, but very exciting,” DiPietro said. “In writing the script, I

learned that William Desmond Taylor had just walked the actress Mabel Moorman, who was visiting him, to her car. She was the Jennifer Lawrence of her day, a huge star. When he came back to his bungalow someone inside shot and killed him. This caused quite a scandal, and was the birth of the modern celebrity scandal. My play is basically a whodunit, combining the history of Hollywood, modern celebrity and the rise of censorship and conservatism in Hollywood.” The play also touches on William Hays, known for creating the Hays Code of censorship in early Hollywood. “Hays was very influential politically and was hired by the studios as a public relations man because Washington wanted to start regulating the movies,” DiPietro said. “As he is trying to figure out the mystery of the murder, he is also trying to clean up Hollywood both onscreen and off.” The cast features seven actors from the New York Theater, seven or eight returning La Jolla Playhouse actors with Scott Drummond playing Taylor (“Mother Courage and Her Children”); and four students from the UCSD theatre program. DiPietro said he’s also excited about the

Jewelry donation by Vahid Moradi and CJ Charles Jewelers raises $100,000 for cancer research FROM CJ CHARLES REPORTS The 35th annual Spark Gala for UC San Diego’s Moores Cancer Center took place April 16 at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, where one of the largest jewelry donations to date in the greater San Diego area was auctioned off. Vahid Moradi, president of CJ Charles Jewelers in La Jolla, donated a rare Golden South Sea Pearl Diamond necklace and earring suite with an estimated value of $88,000 with more than 500 diamonds. Auctioneer Grant Snyder opened the bid at $30,000. Momentum grew once the gala audience felt the positive synergy and excitement. Bid numbers rose, cheering grew louder and applause resonated throughout the room. Finally, a benevolent couple made the final bid at $100,000. Immediately, Moradi personally introduced himself and congratulated them. “Their generosity has far surpassed my expectations. I am proud to be part of such a cause,” he said. Moradi, who is on the board of UCSD’s

Moores Cancer Center, said he considers the fight against cancer a mission very dear to his heart. When he was a young man, Moradi lost his father to cancer. This sparked him to never give up hope. “After seeing firsthand doctors and scientists (at UCSD’s Moores Cancer Center) devoted to their craft, my belief is reinforced that we are on the brink of something really great. Dr. Scott Lippman explained to me how the research is evolving to treatments such as immunotherapy,” Moradi said. Proceeds from this year’s auction will support the center’s new Novel Cell Therapy Program, which is a type of immunotherapy treatment. More than 450 people came together to support cancer research through the Spark Gala and the result was “astronomical.” The event raised $2.5 million, which exceeded last year’s fundraising amount of $2.1 million. — CJ Charles Jewelers, 1135 Prospect St., La Jolla.

‘Fallen Star’ film coming to ArcLight-La Jolla BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ow many people does it take to hoist a 70,000-pound artwork onto a seventh-story rooftop? A 50-minute film about Do Ho Suh’s “Fallen Star,” the small house perched Wizard-of-Oz-like on the roof-edge of UCSD’s School of Engineering, will let you see for yourself May 5 when it’s screened at ArcLight Cinemas-La Jolla. “Fallen Star: Finding Home,” co-directed by Vera Brunner-Sung and Valerie Stadler, is about the combined efforts that took the 18th piece in the university’s Stuart Collection from conception and construction at ground-level to its designated spot at a nerve-wracking hundred-foot height. It’s a story of creative collaboration, a coming together of inventive engineering and commitment to art, warmed by the feelings people have for the idea of home. Suh, the Korean-born artist, is the film’s executive producer. In 2007, he submitted two proposals to the Stuart Collection, which commissions contemporary, site-specific sculptures for the campus. He thought his less-complicated “Secret Garden” was more likely to be chosen, and was surprised when the choice was

“Fallen Star.” His experience of disorientation when he first came to this country inspired the piece, which he envisioned as a homey cottage crashed into a tall, institutional building. But UCSD students, many of whom could relate to the experience, were more enraged by the expense of the project — a million-dollar house that no one could live in at a time of heavy cutbacks on campus — than engaged by its artistry. Their comments, and candid interviews with the collaborators, especially construction supervisor Don Franken, who had no real feeling for art, give added dimension to

Sung brought Stadler, an L.A. director-producer, onboard, and the film, a first collaboration for the two that included a crew of 35, turned into a joyful five-year process. “There’s been a tremendous amount of good will and joy around the project,” Stadler said. “People are enchanted by Do Ho’s piece and were excited to be part of the film.

At the UCSD premiere on April 5, the directors said they found the film’s arc in Franken’s gradual shift of opinion, as he came to acknowledge the overwhelmingly positive reactions people had — and continue to have — to the piece he helped raise. In November 2011, once construction was completed, with everything built to code so the off-kilter cottage could withstand high winds, severe rainstorms and earthquakes, it was time for the house-hoisting. Suh had contacted Brunner-Sung, a filmmaker whose work, like his own, is concerned with the definition of home, and

Hall Private Wealth Advisors celebrates one-year anniversary BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although the wealth management firm opened its doors in Solana Beach last April, the firm’s staff members have more than 100 years of combined experience working with a wide range of individuals and businesses, from entrepreneurs raising capital to Fortune 1000 companies managing growth. In fact, Russell Hall, founder, owner and managing director of Hall Private Wealth Advisors, established the firm after 25 years of experience in wealth planning and asset management. “The added level of control for the benefit of our clients has been incredibly refreshing,” Hall said. A New York native, Hall holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration with concentrations in economics and finance from New York-based Alfred University. Hall relocated to San Diego in 1990, when he started his career with PaineWebber, which was later acquired by UBS. He spent 18 years with the company before moving his practice to Morgan Stanley, where he spent an additional seven additional years. Hall became senior vice president of UBS early in his career, focusing much of his

energy on indexing. The process involves creating investment models and trying to represent various asset classes and sectors using low-cost exchange-traded funds. “That made me feel like I was doing my job,” said Hall, who was consistently ranked in the top tier as senior vice president and later as corporate client group director and senior portfolio management director. “I was efficiently meeting my clients’ objectives.”

In 2010, Hall created Connequity, a sales tool designed to help business professionals better connect with clients. Like a dating service for the business world, Hall described the tool as “eHarmony meets LinkedIn.” With his first startup off the ground, Hall decided to finally start his own firm. “It’s been an amazing journey putting myself in the shoes of an entrepreneur,” he said. With three advisors and seven employees, Hall Private Wealth Advisors has a well-rounded team that fits most clients’ needs. Among the staff is Patrick Maher, the firm’s senior vice president, who has worked as a wealth advisor for nearly four decades. Amanda Rocca, vice president of client experience, has worked in the financial industry for more than 20 years. Natalie Stillman, vice president of financial planning, is also a longtime dedicated and passionate certified financial planner. “We’re surrounded by an amazing team here,” Hall said. “We’ve got unbelievable resources and talent at our fingertips.” With a well-rounded team, the firm is able to serve a variety of clients, from business owners to senior executives. Most

of the firm’s clients come from the local communities of Solana Beach, Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe. “My personal clients tend to be successful entrepreneurs, senior executives and business owners,” explained Hall, who lives in Solana Beach with his wife of nearly 18 years, Amy, their 9-year-old daughter and twin 7-year-old boys. “I also manage money for a number of high-net-worth families where we work with not only the parents, but the children and in some cases, the grandchildren. We collaborate to help families pass wealth to the next generation. We also help educate children on the value of money and try to help them learn about investing.” Hall set out to start his own firm to help bring integrity and transparency to the financial services industry. He also wanted to keep things simple for clients, improving their experience. So instead of a 50-page report like the kind they receive from the big banks, Hall and his team have perfected a one-page snapshot that showcase key metrics from their clients’ portfolios. “That is one way to bring peace of mind to our clients’ financial situation,” he said.

De Anza` DAR receives state award for El Camino Real bells restoration project BY KATHARINE DIXON, MD The California State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution honored the local De Anza chapter with first place in historical preservation at the 2016 CSSDAR State Conference for De Anza’s work restoring area El Camino Real bells. California’s 700-mile El Camino Real built by the Spanish between missions, forts and towns follows much the same route as today’s historic Highway 101. Between 1906 and 1913, 415 mission bells on a shepherd’s crook and inscribed with “El Camino Real 1769-1906” were placed along the old Spanish highway. The first bell was placed in front of the Old Plaza Church in downtown Los Angeles and the second at San Diego’s Mission de la Alcalá. Over time, many bells were lost, stolen or fell into disrepair. In 2000, Caltrans replaced and restored bells from Orange County to San Francisco. San Diego County was excluded as its El Camino Real was not on the state highway system. Instead, San Diego bells have been placed by a variety of individuals, groups and businesses. As part of De Anza’s project, 24 bells were located, documented and photographed in the communities of Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Cardiff, Leucadia and Encinitas. Of these, 21 bells were in dire need of restoration due to fading, rusting, and corrosion. De Anza Chapter restored the first bell in front of Brett’s Barbecue in Encinitas and worked with entities responsible for maintenance of other

Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society courtyard bell. bells to have area bells returned to their original beauty. Thirteen bells were restored in Encinitas, including six on the El Camino Real, six on the Coast Highway, and one on Encinitas Blvd. The Encinitas Blvd. bell in front of Brett’s BBQ was originally painted red and yellow to match Pat and Oscar’s Restaurant, later charcoal grey to match the next restaurant and all colors were showing through. The other 12 bells had been painted dark green to match street lights. With restoration, all bells were returned to the classic turquoise color. The San Dieguito Women’s Club restored a badly rusted bell on the corner of Via de la Valle and El Camino Real. Bells in Lomas Santa Fe Plaza and on Lomas Santa Fe west of I-5 were restored by the commercial owners. Six bells are located in Rancho Santa Fe, five of which are placed along the El

Camino Real and one at the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society Museum. For years, the museum bell had been displayed unpainted on a chair inside the museum. With undertaking the restoration of their bells, the Historical Society Board opted to give the bell its virginal coat of paint and place in the newly renovated courtyard - “for all the world to see,” said Sharon Alix, museum director. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership in DAR. De Anza Lineage Committee provides assistance to prospective members to complete applications. Contact Marti Meiners at mcmeiners@icloud.com or visit www.deanzadar.org.

Musically talented youth band together to support children with heart disease Hosted by television star Marc Summers and featuring 20 of San Diego’s most talented young musical acts, the 5th annual Heart of a Child benefit concert May 7 is sure to wow you. After all, it’s not every day that you get to see teens who’ve performed at Carnegie Hall, one of the top-ranked U.S. harpists under 11, award-winning acapella groups, and Jason Mraz’s teenage tour mate all in the same concert. Even more amazing is that these youth are all coming together to support Resounding Joy’s Ariana Miller Music with Heart Program which provides no-cost music therapy for young cardiac patients at Rady Children’s Hospital. Program founders Jeff and Anita Miller lost their daughter Ariana, a loving and caring young musician, to congenital heart disease in 2008. She survived six open-heart surgeries and countless other invasive procedures, but it was music therapy that brought joy into her life and helped her when she struggled in her fight. Seeing the impact of music on their daughter, they founded the program to help others gain access to music therapy services. “We wanted to help other children and their families who face similar circumstances. Ariana was blessed with a great support system, ample resources, and a loving family. Not all of these kids are so lucky,” said Dr. Jeff Miller of why this no-cost program is so important. Since the program began in 2011 it has provided music therapy at no cost to more than 1,000 children. Because of the success they had at last year’s concert, Resounding Joy is now able to provide music therapy twice per week instead of just once per week.

Spring Cleaning Maintenance Tips for Your Vehicle: Prepare Your Car for El Niño As spring approaches, you need to look over your vehicle to determine any maintenance that needs to be performed before hitting the open road. Winter weather, even in a sunny place like San Diego, can wreak havoc on your vehicle. It’s a good reminder to take a look at the inner workings of your car and make sure there aren’t

any maintenance problems that have emerged over the last couple of months. The battery, tires, suspension, brakes and severe weather can all have an influence on your vehicle’s performance. Read on and implement the following tips to protect your vehicle this spring. Headlamps and Running Lights Ensure that your lights are always working so you can turn on the headlamps ASAP in the event of heavy rain. Check Your Tires Any type of cold weather can influence your tire pressure, so make sure that everything is properly balanced and inflated. Low tire pressure and worn out treads can cause unnecessary problems on the road, so checking your tire pressure and your treads regularly should become a habit not just in springtime but yearround. Plugs, Wires and Batteries

All of these elements have an important role in your vehicle, and they can be put under stress during the winter months. If you replace old (three years or more) and weak batteries now, you could save yourself money down the road, especially if you have to get towed. Brakes It’s always a good idea to check your brake system at least once a year. Take a look at your brake fluid, lines, hoses, and parking brake to ensure that they are all at the proper levels. You can ask your mechanic to take a look at any wear and tear during your oil change, too. Fluid Levels There are many things to check with regard to your fluid levels, but you should not ignore any of them. Look at brake fluid, anti-freeze transmission fluid, engine oil and even your windshield washer fluid. Air Filters

When you are getting your brakes, transmission fluid or oil changed, make sure that your engine air filter is up to date and clean. Wheel Alignment and Suspension Any time you hit a major pothole, this can do significant damage to your struts and shocks. Making sure that you schedule an inspection to deal with leaks or serious wear can alleviate bigger issues down the road. Belts and Hoses Look for cracked or worn belts as well as any hoses that are too soft, brittle or blistered. Anything older than five years may need to be replaced.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

Art show, fair set for May 14 at Southfair in Del Mar

Exhibit to run May 7 through July 7

BY KRISTINA HOUCK From paintings to photographs, dozens of local artists are displaying their work in Del Mar beginning next month. Coordinated by local artist Bob Coletti, the display cases at the Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair will feature a variety of pieces from members of the Sargent Art Group, a North County-based art organization. “There will be work from artists from all different styles,” said Coletti, noting that 40 to 50 artists will be represented in the show. “Some photographers, some mixed media, some traditional painters, some watercolor, some oil painters. It’s an open theme, so anything is welcome.” This is the second show at the gallery, continuing the legacy of the late Herbert B. Turner. Turner was a prominent architect, artist and resident of Del Mar. As the builder of Southfair, he intended to provide gallery space for local artists to display and sell their work. His daughter, Rachel Turner Thomas, honored her father’s legacy and continued his tradition by recently providing space for artists to display their art pieces. The first exhibit of 2016 featured artists from Group7Art, a group Coletti founded in 2011. “It was a good show,” said Coletti, who is coordinating all future exhibits. He plans to rotate exhibits every two to three months. “I love doing this,” added Coletti, whose work will also be on display in the show that opens in May. “I don’t get paid to do this. I do this because I want to help the artists. It’s all to benefit the art community. Someone has to do it.” Sargent Art Group, also known as SAG, was founded by the late Jean McNeil Sargent. Her work will also be included in the event. The group is a partnership of professional and emerging artists and patrons of the arts. Governed by volunteers, the group works together to network, support and encourage artists, as well as protect artists’ rights. “This is all about letting the artists show their work,” Coletti said. “This group shows in different venues around San Diego. They don’t have their own gallery, so it’s a good opportunity for their artists to come in and show their work and try to sell it, too.” The exhibit will not only feature an art show, but an art fair. As many as six artisans will display their crafts. The

“Dancer” by Mary Borges artists with their work on display will also provide demonstrations. Additionally, San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts will be at the event to present the first place, second place, third place and best of show awards. The opening reception and art fair will take place 1-6 p.m. on May 14. The event is free and open to the public. “There’s going to be a lot of action going on,” Coletti said. “It’s going to be a fun time.” The exhibit will run May 7 through July 7. The Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair is located at 2010 Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar. “This is a fun spot,” Coletti said. “It’s going to be a great show.” For more about the Sargent Art Group, visit www.sargentartgroup.com.

Rancho Coastal Humane society to host 'Animal Communicator' — learn to talk with animals Cindy Brody, nationally-renowned Animal Communicator, Reiki Master, author and originator of CinergE, an energetic healing modality that can be applied to all living beings, will be teaching a two- day animal communication class at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, May 7 and May 8. Brody has been working with CinergE for over 30 years. She lives in the Hudson Valley of New York, and travels all over the country teaching and working with horses, dogs, cats, and the people who love them. She has always been a hands-on person. At the age of 9 she discovered she had energy in her hands. While staying with her grandparents on

their farm in northwestern Nebraska, she found that the “heat” in her hands could help tame wild barn kittens. Brody’s work saves lives by helping people understand their beloved four-legged friends. A dog who is depressed, a horse that bucks, a cat who marks, has a story and she gives them a voice and saves many animals from being rehomed, or left in a shelter. Her clients are often surprised about the detailed things that their pets reveal, things that could not be known otherwise by someone outside the home. CinergE is a light touch hands on therapy that is easy to learn. It brings the body back into balance, relieving physical and mental stress. The body then heals

itself. In her Developing Intuition and Animal Communication clinic, Brody teaches how to tune into the messages animals have to share through photographs. These easy to learn techniques will help people to listen with their hearts and to hear their four-legged family members inner voices. She will also teach an introduction to CinergE, energy balancing skills to help open intuitive channels. Space is limited, so advance registration is required. The clinic will meet Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, 389 Requeza St, Encinitas, 92024. Contact Danielle at (858) 699-7291 to register.

SAN DIEGUITO ART GUILD

San Dieguito Art Guild to hold Mother’s Day event The San Dieguito Art Guild, a nonprofit guild, hosts the 2016 Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour. This is a self-guided, driving tour on Saturday and Sunday, Mother’s Day weekend, May 7 and 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Tickets are good for both days and homes may be re-visited. Take your mom or best friends on a leisurely tour of the eight North County homes where you can peek into an assortment of fascinating artists’ studios, peruse more then 30 exhibits of locally made art, and relax in each unique coastal garden. Artists from the San Dieguito Art Guild will be positioned in the gardens — showing and selling their paintings, ceramics, glass, gourd art, fiber arts, photography, jewelry, and much more. Free refreshments will be served at every stop. The tour includes an eclectic group of homes, gardens and art studios from Encinitas to South Carlsbad. Step into the “Old World” to view a home with tromp

L’oeil paintings that grace ceilings and walls giving a French provincial atmosphere. View the amazing outdoor kitchen, dining and living room, wisteria covered arbor, and lovely terraced slope. Walk into a living room at another home and you’d swear the walls were stone cut blocks like a European castle. Actually, it’s the homeowner’s faux textured painted walls. This two-day event is the major fundraiser of the year for the San Dieguito Art Guild. Without funds from this tour the Guild would operate at a loss. Tickets are $25 per person and may be purchased at the Off Track Gallery (937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, Encinitas), at OffTrackGallery.com, or at each home both days of the tour. Children 17 and under are free. This is a favorite tour of many San Diegans — many of whom take this tour year after year.

HOW ORION CABLE’S HIGH-SPEED INTERNET AND CELLULAR COVERAGE BENEFIT THOSE LIVING IN ‘THE R ANCH’

John Santhoff

AN EDITORIAL ADVERTISEMENT BY JOHN SANTHOFF, OWNER OF ORION CABLE UT Community Press: There has been a lot of interest lately within “The Ranch” concerning High-Speed Internet and Cellular coverage. What is Orion Cable doing to address these topics with existing and potential customers in Rancho Santa Fe (RSF)? John Santhoff: High-speed Internet and cellular coverage are being treated as two separate initiatives within the RSF Association, but from Orion’s perspective they are both solved once high-speed Internet is deployed to a home within “The Ranch”. UT: Could you explain that a little more? JS: Once a homeowner has Orion’s high-speed Internet to their home and installs a Wi-Fi network, they can replace their cellular connection. UT: How does that work? JS: Smart cell phones today like the iPhone and Android are capable of using Wi-Fi networks to replace the cellular network routing phone calls and other data that normally would go over the cellular network through the Wi-Fi network in their home. UT: What are the advantages of using the Wi-Fi Network in your home with your cellphone? JS: There are a lot of benefits of using your Wi-Fi home network in place of your cellular connection. They include: • In “The Ranch” cell phone reception in your home is often poor to non-existent. Wi-Fi enables a faster, more reliable connection than is typically available from the cellular network.

• Speeds over Wi-Fi can be hundreds of megabits. Cellular network data rates are a fraction of this – usually single-digit megabit data rates. • You don’t incur any additional data charges when streaming to your phone while using the Wi-Fi network. • The data caps on cellular are typically five to 10 Gigabits per month. As many have already learned going over those cellular data caps can cost you dearly, sometimes hundreds of dollars per month. UT: Is there anything else you would like to mention? JS: The response to or ads has been phenomenal. Our new 100Mbps data rate plan has been very popular and the number of new subscribers has exceeded our expectations. Our fiber optic backbone running through “The Ranch” has enabled Orion to serve hundreds of customers with high-speed Internet. Our infrastructure is currently capable of serving over 50 percent of homes within “The Ranch” and we are building out new infrastructure to serve additional homes. Want to know if High-Speed Internet is available for your house? Visit www.Orioncable.com/ rsf and see if your home’s address is listed. If it’s not and you would like service to your home call Orion Cable at 760-591-9600 and have your house’s address added to the company’s list. Once Orion receives enough demand in your area, it will contact you on what you will need to do to get service to your home.
