BY KAREN BILLING At a special meeting on Sept. 15, the Rancho Santa Fe School District board agreed to a five-week process to appoint a new member to fill a board vacancy. After Marti Ritto resigned, the board had the option to appoint a new member or call for a special election, estimated to cost $50,000 to $100,000. Per the board’s decision, the deadline for applications will be Monday, Oct. 9 at 10 a.m. and a public interview session will be held on Monday, Oct. 16 at 9 a.m. with a week for the board to receive feedback and make a decision. The board will deliberate in an open session meeting and make a decision on Monday, Oct. 23 at 9 a.m. At the Sept. 15 meeting, several community members spoke against an appointment process and requested the

district hold a special election. “The selection of the new board member should be made by the community,” resident Heather Slosar said. “The community deserves a vote.” Resident Annie Golden said that the district has a pattern of appointments with two board members having been appointed – Tyler Seltzer in 2011 and Scott Kahn in May 2016. Both board members went on to be elected— Seltzer was been re-elected twice, in 2012 and in 2016, and Kahn was elected in 2016. As incumbents rarely lose, resident Lorraine Kent said appointments give an “unfair advantage” in the next election cycle. She said appointments also allow the board to “stack the deck” or push forward any personal agenda issues. “It is key to understand clearly and SEE BOARD, A22

BY KAREN BILLING It was a packed house at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club for a town hall on the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s fiber-optic project on Sept. 14. The ballots on the $13 million -14 million project had been out for a few days and some said they had already cast their vote on the network, which will bring one-gigabit internet capabilities to every home in the Covenant. RSF Association President Fred Wasserman said he was thrilled with the large turnout for what he believes could be a very important project for Rancho Santa Fe. “We need to have reliable, one-gigabit service in this community,” Wasserman said. “This is not a service that isn’t needed anymore, it’s a utility.” Wasserman said members are demanding this service to improve their quality of life and said some have even left

the community because of poor service. RSF Association Manager Bob Hall said that RSF Connect is for more than just the 13-year-old who is frantic because they can’t do their homework — he said he heard from one resident with an internet-connected implanted medical device that told him: “Without reliable connection to the internet, I will die.” Every homeowner, including condo owners, gets a vote on the proposal and ballots are due back by Oct. 4 at 5 p.m. If approved, construction could possibly begin in February 2018, with a 18-24-month build timeline. As segments of the network are completed, service could become available to some homeowners prior to the completion of the entire project. That left many homeowners asking: Who gets it first?

High school foundation members defend themselves against accusations BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board heard from a room full of passionate boosters of its four high school foundations at its Sept. 14 meeting, speaking out after months filled with accusations about fundraising operations and claims from what one parent said was a “negative minority who will always find a

‘We love our schools’ reason to be disgruntled.” “I’m here to tell you that they don’t represent me,” said Kristy Laliotis, president of the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, regarding statements made against the foundation by a pair of concerned parents. “We’re here for

one reason and one reason only. We love our schools, we love the families and the foundations that the families represent. We are united and we stand together to tell the board this evening that we’re tired of the distractions and the accusations. We have work to

do so let’s get to it.” The board room was overcrowded with those who support the foundations, the organizations that seek voluntary donations to bridge the gap between student needs and state and district funding for the district’s high schools. San Dieguito Union High School SEE FOUNDATIONS, A20

Special education parents ask for ‘impartial’ task force facilitator

BY KAREN BILLING As the San Dieguito Union School District is in the process of forming a special education task force to help improve the outcomes of students with disabilities and develop a strategic plan, several parents spoke out against staff’s choice for a group facilitator at the Sept. 14 board meeting. After listening to public comment from parents, the board agreed to find more candidates for the facilitator. San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) Associate Superintendent Mark Miller had recommended the facilitator and was concerned that not moving forward with his selection would delay the process — the first task force meeting was scheduled for Oct. 11 as they work toward recommendations for the

2018-19 school year. “If the process was delayed a month but if they knew that it was a real partnership, I think parents would be OK with that,” SDUHSD board trustee Mo Muir said. “I want this to work. We want their buy-in. We want them to on board with this and to start in good faith.” Since August, Miller said that he has worked to form an inclusive task force representing various viewpoints to come up with the best strategic plan to serve special education students. “Staff has been working diligently to get the task force up and running, taking into consideration feedback,” Miller said. “It became extremely clear that due to distrust of district SEE SPECIAL ED, A22

Torrey Pines batting cages donations receive delayed approval BY KAREN BILLING On Sept. 14, the San Dieguito Union High School District board approved a donation for the Torrey Pines High School batting cages, correcting an error brought to light by a parent complaint. The cages have been in use since they were installed back in 2013, thanks to a $400,000 donation by an anonymous community member. At the time, the batting cages went through the facilities planning department and the construction department but were never presented as a donation item for the board to approve. San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board member Joyce Dalessandro said she saw the donation as nothing more than a very generous

gift to the Torrey Pines High School Foundation, the campus and the students. “There may have been some mistakes made in the paperwork and in the giving of the gift but were these mistakes so egregious as to warrant the firestorm that has been created?” Dalessandro asked. “Why all the fury over this? I don’t think it could possibly be just about batting cages. What is the real end game here?” The issue surrounding the batting cages began in October 2016 when parent Wendy Gumb began asking about the use of the school batting cages by travel ball teams, who seemed to have access on a regular basis. She wanted to know if they had necessary facilities use permits.

Her research showed that the cages were never approved by the Division of State Architects (DSA), which snowballed into question on the role of the foundation with the baseball team and coach hiring practices, leading to the complaint she filed to the district in January. “I asked a simple question in October. Eleven months later, we are still asking for answers to the same question,” Gumb said. After Gumb’s complaint, the district submitted the batting cages to DSA and they were approved in February. The district will approve a memorandum of understanding regarding the use of the cages at a future meeting. Gumb said the batting cages became a SEE BATTING, A22

Young Rancho Santa Fe rider is US Pony Finals champ BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe 10-year-old Evelyn Walker and her pony Captain Crunch recently claimed the Small Green Hunter Pony Championship at the 2017 United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) Pony Finals in Lexington, Kentucky. Despite her young age, Evelyn is a Pony Finals veteran, making her third appearance at the championship and winning her first overall title. “It was really overjoying,” said Evelyn. “It was an amazing feeling, all the butterflies I had in my stomach went away. I thought I had done really well and I was really happy with myself when I found out I won.” “It was a pretty magical moment,” said mom Stephanie Walker, who was watching live while other family members, such as Evelyn’s grandparents, caught her top placement on the broadcast on the USEF network. Evelyn, a fifth grader at R. Roger Rowe School, has been riding horses since she was 3 years old, starting at the Rancho Riding Club in Rancho Santa Fe. “I just love animals in general and thought riding was really cool,” Evelyn said. She competed in her first show five years ago and now trains with Michael Savage in Encinitas just about every day. Captain Crunch has been an ideal pony for Evelyn, she has trained and competed with him for a year and a half. “He’s a very loveable pony, he’s so sweet and nice,” Evelyn said of Captain Crunch. “He has a pretty unusual color, he’s a dark, purple-y chocolate color and he has a silver mane and tail.” Evelyn and the 2009 Welsh Pony gelding won the Model phase with a score of 260.40 and placed second with 259.00 in the Under Saddle phase on the first day of competition. They had a commanding lead at the top of

Evelyn Walker and Captain Crunch won the US Pony Final title. the leaderboard after claiming fourth in the Over Fences phase with a score of 234.50. “I do get nervous but my mom always says ‘Just do your best’ and that’s what I’m really thinking about when I go in competition,” Evelyn said. “When I do my best, I can never be disappointed in myself.” Evelyn and Captain Crunch were able to clinch the title with a score of 988.40. A hard part about being a growing girl in this sport is that Evelyn has outgrown her beloved small pony Captain Crunch. She is beginning training with her new large pony Xander, hoping to find similar success. “I’m getting to know him,” Evelyn said of Xander. “He’s never been to a show before so we have to learn together. I’m super excited about it.”

Horizon Prep student named National Merit Semifinalist Horizon Prep senior Aerin Creek is named among the approximately 16,000 high school seniors recognized as a semifinalist in the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation recently announced the list of semifinalists. Less than 1 percent of the 1.6 million students taking the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test are recognized as semifinalists. Approximately 15,000 students will be named finalists in February and most are widely recognized with scholarship opportunities. “We are very excited for Aerin and the recognition she is receiving through this announcement,” said Andrea Neeham, Horizon Prep guidance counselor. “While Aerin is clearly very academically gifted, she also has a huge heart for others, making personal sacrifices for the benefit of others and giving her time to tutor younger children. She is a gift to our community. What an amazing accomplishment!” “We are both thrilled for Aerin and humbled that a young and growing high school with just its second graduating class would have a National Merit Semifinalist named for the second year in a row!” said Erik Konsmo, Ph.D., Horizon Prep’s Head of Schools.

Overcoming ego brings success for local author and businessman RSF resident to discuss book Oct. 9 at RSF Library BY JOE TASH In 2005, Brandon Black took over as CEO of Encore Capital Group, a San Diego-based company that acquires and collects consumer debt such as credit card balances of card-holders who are in arrears. But all was not well. The Great Recession was coming, the company's stock price was tanking and its profits were drying up. In his new book, "Ego Free Leadership," co-written with Shayne Hughes, Black chronicles his personal journey to tame his ego and turn his company around, moving away from internal conflict and blame and embracing collaboration and collective problem solving. Black will talk about his book during a private reception for Guild members at 6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 9, at the Rancho Santa Fe Library, 17040 Avenida de Acacias, an event organized by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild. The $50 admission fee includes appetizers and wine, the author presentation and Q & A

session, and a signed copy of the book. For reservations or to become a Guild member, visit www.rsflibraryguild.org, or call (858) 756-4780. Black, 49, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, brought in Hughes and his company, Leadership as Learning, to help Encore identify and eliminate behavior throughout its executive team that was detrimental to the company's success. "As a company we embarked on eliminating (ego) to the best of our ability," Black said. "We eliminated all the clutter." As he launched this effort, Black said, he realized this new mind-set had to start at the top – with his own ego, fears and unhelpful behavior. Black said he realized that he had a fear of being disliked, and that in turn fueled an insistence on always being right. "It had to start with me," he said. Only then was he able to work with his executive team to foster cooperation and put their egos in the back burner as well. Egotistical behavior led groups to compete with each other, rather than acting for the good of the entire company, Black said. It also manifested in people putting each other down, and avoiding asking for help when it was needed. "It's unconscious rather than conscious. No one wakes up and says 'I'm going to

sabotage my co-workers today,'" he said. The book, which is written as a first-person narrative alternating between Black and Hughes, details how the shift in thinking by company leaders allowed Encore to thrive through the great recession and beyond, even as many of its competitors went out of business during that turbulent economic period. "Between 2009 and 2013, our revenues and profits increased 300 percent, operating costs declined 30 percent and

the stock price rose 1200 percent. How did we create this miracle? ... our competitive advantage came from recognizing and stopping the specific ways in which we were working against each other," Black wrote in the book's prologue. "Ego Free Leadership" came out in March and was published by Greenleaf Book Group Press. The book is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble online, as well as some bookstores, including airport book sellers. In the next 30 days, Black said, an audio version will be available on Audible.com. When they wrote the book, their target audience was senior company leaders. But the authors have since learned that the book's message resonates with a wider audience. "We've had a lot of people say, could your next book be "Ego Free Marriage" or "Ego Free Parenting"? Black said. "We've gotten good feedback from a broad cross-section of people." Black left Encore in 2013, wanting to spend more time with his family and get involved in community service. He and his wife, Dana, a strategic consultant for nonprofits, have three children. Their oldest son is in college, and their fourthand sixth-graders attend Santa Fe Christian School, where Black serves as chairman of the board. He's also volunteered as a CASA (advocate for foster youth in their dealings with the court system).

BY KAREN BILLING The Banuelos family of Rancho Santa Fe is continuing their efforts to help bring the gift of clean water to a small Zulu village in South Africa — they plan to travel back to Maphumulo on Oct. 3. Last year, Jolene Banuelos’ daughter Leah, now a sixth grader at Solana Santa Fe Elementary School, sold custom-made bracelets to raise money for mini solar power systems for the village, which is comprised of small huts that rely on candlelight and fire to cook and light the night. Leah was inspired to help after a fire in one of the huts left three children badly burned. Along with three other Solana Santa Fe School families, the Banuelos’ visited the village over the 2016 holiday break — Leah had raised enough money to buy each family a solar-powered system, a bed, bedding, towels, food, toiletries and toys.

After Jolene moved to the United States, Rosie sadly passed away from AIDS. Jolene remained in contact with Rosie’s four children and their families and was able to visit them in the village on their trip last winter. “This was definitely one of the best days of my life. It

was like an emotional rollercoaster. I laughed, I cried uncontrollably – tears of sadness and joy. We hugged and embraced,” said Jolene, who loved seeing her children playing with Rosie’s grandchildren and other village children.”It was so incredibly rewarding to see the appreciation and happiness on the faces of these people who were receiving these small gifts SEE AFRICA, A22

Dear Deb,

Dear Chloe,

The accumulation of things is fun, but when tragedies strike, we see the true values in life are family, friends, and community. Tough times remind us all that ‘you can’t take it with you.’ Let’s start by changing a habit. A client of mine often made impulse purchases, like on the latest Louis Vuitton bag or Jimmy Choo boots. In a very short time, she saw that even a small amount of money set aside or invested, could fill her closet with long-term goals. My office team is here to help ease your financial anxieties!

This incredible stage show includes three costume changes representing every era of the Beatles’ ever-changing career. This loving tribute to the Beatles has amazed audiences all over the world, including Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, The United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico and Brazil with record-perfect live performances of such classics as “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Yesterday,” “A Day In The Life,” “Penny Lane,” “Here Comes The Sun,” and “Hey Jude.” A crowd of 500 is anticipated at the event, which includes a gourmet dinner, opportunity drawing, live auction and silent auction.

Girls’ anti-bullying group, TV stars meet in Del Mar BY LINDA MCINTOSH The Girl Uplifters Team (G.U.T), a group of girls, including several young Hollywood stars, are set on sharing their antidote to bullying at a G.U.T Gathering on Sept. 24 in Del Mar. The event, the first of its kind for the group, will kick off its mission to help young girls practice ways to uplift themselves and others instead of fostering negative thinking and put downs. Exercises include singing, music, breathing, yoga and positive thinking. Participants also find out how uplifting it can be to be part of a community by creating the first portion of a global fundraising art project that will eventually cover a football field. Several young Hollywood TV and movie stars, who are part of the group’s team of ambassadors, are slated to join the event, including Maya Le Clark from Nickelodeon’s “The Thundermans” (and daughter of G.U.T co-founder Aimee Le Zakrewski Clark) along with Miya Cech from the upcoming trilogy, “The Darkest Minds,” Scarlett Estevez, from Fox’s “Lucifer” and the “Daddy’s Home” films, Mackenzie Hancsicsak, from NBC’s “This is Us,” and Raegan Revord from the upcoming “The Big Bang Theory” spinoff, “Young Sheldon.” The Girl Uplifters Team was created by Clark, with help from her daughters, Olivia, 8, and Maya, 6, and was inspired by their desire to promote positivity and kindness after witnessing challenges young girls face during their elementary school years, such as bullying, feeling left out and not knowing what to do when they feel upset or stressed.

“I’ve seen girls pushing other girls down emotionally and mentally, but here they learn how to lift each other up,” said Clark, a marriage and family therapist based in Sorrento Valley. Performers at the event include singers and songwriters Lily Kincade, 16, Damoni, 15, and Brooke Besikof, 14. Besikof has performed across the country, including on Broadway and at Carnegie Hall. The event raises money for Carlsbad-based nonprofit Kids for Peace, which brings young people together for community service, arts, environmental stewardship and global friendship. The event is from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Del Mar Plaza, 1555 Camino Del Mar. Tickets cost $25.

Foster students receive ‘Back-To-School’ welcome from Friends of San Pasqual Academy For most teenagers, the beginning of another school year marks the end of summer and is not a day many look forward to with eagerness. Members of Friends of San Pasqual Academy made starting school fun for the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy with their “Back-To-School” event, held on the campus of San Pasqual Academy. According to Teri Summerhays, board member of Friends of San Pasqual Academy, “The students call this day ‘Shop ‘Til You Drop Day,’ since many items such as school supplies, backpacks, shoes, T-shirts, socks, hygiene items, clothing and more have been collected and donated to our foster students by numerous, caring individuals and organizations. These foster teens look forward to this event and are in awe of what everyone has provided for them. They greatly appreciate not just the ‘shopping selection process,’ but the presence of the wonderful volunteers that make this event happen.” Upon entering the auditorium, each student was greeted by Patty Brutten and Andrea Reynolds and given a shopping bag. Patty Brutten also handed them a box of See’s Candies, which she had purchased for each foster student. Road Runner Sports, for the 10th consecutive year, donated 175 pairs of new athletic shoes, through Catherine Gotfredson. The students enjoyed picking out their quality shoes that had been selected by Michael and Fiona Gotfredson, owners of Road Runner Sports. Ferdi Ellazar and Nordstrom, once again, donated hundreds of shopping bags for the students’ selected items. The auditorium was filled with wonderful items that had been collected, donated or created for the students of San Pasqual Academy.

COURTESY

Volunteers of Friends of San Pasqual Academy and Escondido Rotary display the many wonderful items that were collected or purchased for foster students. Buck and Kay Bennett donated hygiene items for each student and have done this for many years. National Charity League members, Teen Volunteers In Action and the Rotary Club of Escondido collected very useful and important school supplies. Teri Summerhays was coordinator of this collection. Friends of San Pasqual Academy members purchased athletic shorts for all the kids, along with socks, underwear, sports bras and more hygiene items. This event was a great success and the students loved “shopping” for their school supplies and

selecting their clothes. Thank you to the wonderful volunteers, which included Mary Beth Oblon and her friend Janice, Mary Djaverian, Catherine Gotfredson, Patty Brutten, Donna Schempp, Monica Sheets, Lois Jones, Teri Summerhays, Debby Syverson, Joan Scott, Arrowhead staff and members of Escondido Rotary. The students greatly appreciated these individuals taking the time to help them shop and treasured their time with them. The relationships that have been developed between the foster teens and the volunteers is one of

respect and caring. Thank you to the many supporters of Friends of San Pasqual Academy who have created these unique, memorable experiences for the foster students of San Pasqual Academy. According to Lois Jones, board member of Friends of San Pasqual Academy, “We want to thank the many wonderful individuals, Road Runner Sports, National Charity League members, Teen Volunteers In Action and Escondido Rotary for making this event so successful and memorable for all our foster teens. These kids, for the most part, do not have anyone purchasing school supplies or clothing items for them to begin the school year. We do this for our own children and it is great to see so many caring people do this same thing for these wonderful foster teens.” According to Andrea Reynolds, “It was overwhelming to see the quantity of items donated out of kindness and generosity to students of San Pasqual Academy. These foster teens are always so amazed of the caring and support they receive from this community and want to convey their sincere feeling of gratitude and say ‘thank you’ for caring so much about them. They really do feel our support and appreciate the time and effort of all our volunteers. We certainly made this school year start off with an event they will remember. Thank you for making this such a success!” Friends of San Pasqual Academy is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization that supports the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy. Any questions, please contact (858) 759-3298 or visit www.friendsofsanpasqualacademy.org for more information. Donations can be sent to P.O. Box 8202, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

Helen Woodward Animal Center, which recently made news for taking in 64 animals displaced by Hurricane Harvey, held its signature beach event, the 12th Annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon Sept. 10, according to a press release. The Woodward Center and presenting sponsor Blue Buffalo welcomed thousands of human and canine spectators to beautiful Dog Beach Del Mar for the event which featured surfing dogs, an adorable canine costume contest, a creative “freestyle surf” competition, as well as food and interactive booths, all for the

benefit of the pets and programs at the Woodward Center. In fact, surfing canines and spectators alike love this dog surf-competition in particular because it’s one of the few of-its-kind with 100 percent of the proceeds going towards helping orphan pets. This year, the beneficiaries of the over $80,000 raised included 64 Hurricane Harvey rescue animals, which Woodward Center staff lovingly refer to as “the Texans,” who are currently receiving care and medical treatment from the Center

before going up for adoption. Leading the pack of phenomenal Fidos this year was Sugar, who placed first overall, followed by Faith (a rescued pit bull) in second place, and Teddy (a blue-Mohawked maverick) in third. Thousands were raised by the “surFURs,” and prizes went to the top earners, including Samson and Delilah, Team Cherie, Team Tristan, and the group SoCal Surf Dogs. For more information, visit www.animalcenter.org or call 858-756-4117.

Runners from 10 different senior high school teams competed against each other in a 2.7-mile run on rough terrain at Morley Field. This race was held on Saturday, Sept. 16. The Canyon Crest Academy girls kept ahead of the competition during this D1 race. Carlie Dorostkar ran a PR (personal record) of 16.05.0, Corinne Chapkis finished with a PR of 16.39.6, Naomi Smitham ran a PR of 16.56.8, Claire Bernd finished with a SR (season record) of 17.14.1, Elaine Cheng ran a PR of 17.43.3 and Sarah Tu finished with a PR of 18.11.4. The girls won as a team at the Carmel Cross Country Invitational and set a new school record for CCA. The team is coached by: Andrew Corman, Lisa Ziemba and Luis de la Vega.

ArtReach hosts 10th Annual Party ARTy benefit in RSF Oct. 22

ArtReach, a nonprofit aimed at increasing access to visual arts education to K-6 schools throughout San Diego County, will host the 10th Annual Party ARTy on Sunday, Oct. 22, 3-6 p.m., in a private home in Rancho Santa Fe. ArtReach invites the community to celebrate 10 years of the ArtReach Access to Art program, which takes high-quality visual art lessons to San Diego County elementary schools that do not have arts education as a part of their normal school curriculum. The event will feature festive cirque entertainment provided by Sophia Isadora Academy of Circus Arts, fine cuisine and wine, live music and art exhibits from local artists. Proceeds from the event benefit ArtReach’s mission to bring free or low cost visual arts education programs into San Diego County schools that would otherwise have none. Party ARTy will feature the works of Australian artist Sonny King, as well as

AkZhana and Ellen Dieter who will paint live. Guests will have the opportunity to see each work emerge and then get the chance to bid to own the one-of-a-kind original pieces by these noted artists.

OPINION

OUR READERS WRITE Help students succeed in the future: Support RSF Connect We are fortunate to live in an area that boasts some of the best schools in the state. Thanks to the RSF School District (RSFSD), the Education Foundation and our community’s generous support, our R. Roger Rowe School teachers have the resources they need to prepare our children for high school and college. It is in that spirit that we support the RSF Connect 1-Gigabit internet project.

As parents, we are excited at the possibilities that high-speed internet could bring to students and families in our community. RSFSD is dedicated to preparing our students for the 21st century, particularly in science, math and engineering. Unfortunately, we’ve heard teachers and parents say that our students aren’t getting the full benefit of their education because many homes simply lack the reliable internet access our students need to complete their homework assignments. Just this week at back to school night, our son’s teacher suggested all students download their assignments before leaving school to alleviate any problems with home internet connections.

We pride ourselves on our school scores and ranking, but our school won’t be able to provide the kinds of hands-on training in computer programming, robotics, math and science that our kids will need without reliable internet access at home. RSF Connect will help our children get the very best out of their education. We support RSF Connect because we believe it will help our students succeed in the future. However, the project will not move forward without the approval of families in the Ranch. I hope you will join us in support of RSF Connect. Andy and Phan Kaffka Rancho Santa Fe

Bird lovers flock to Free Flight’s feathered cause BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Rumor and romance are lifeblood in the lore of Obi the cockatoo. Some say he was caught in the wilds of an exotic Indonesian isle. Others trace his fondness for the spotlight to a stint in Hollywood. The most hushed whispers place Obi alongside one of OJ Simpson’s closest associates at the height of his infamy. No matter how far-fetched, every manner of speculation seemed plausible upon seeing Obi strut and preen for the dozens of awed admirers celebrating his 68th birthday on Sept. 9 at Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary, the shaded enclave in Del Mar where Obi has lived the past two years. More than a dozen of Free Flight’s most captivating birds were also on display at the event, but the enthralled devotees fussed most dotingly around Obi, reaching out delighted hands that he welcomed with a heartfelt nuzzle. Obi paused at one point amid the revelry and fixed a long stare on two approaching figures. He had scarcely seen his most recent owners since the day in 2015 they brought him to Free Flight. Former owners are barred from visiting while the bird works through its heartbreak. Recognition brought a flurry of head bobbing and excited scurrying. With wide smiles, Justin and Rynell Nunez marveled to see Obi in such flourish. Bare spots riddled his downy white plumage — the legacy of self-destructive behavior — but his tail feathers had grown plush and his demeanor betrayed none of that former duress. “He doesn’t seem tense or stressed out,” Justin said. “He just seems relaxed and engaged and happy.” As if on cue, Free Flight’s Lauren Cooper introduced Bella, a female cockatoo she announced as one of Obi’s girlfriends. “One of his girlfriends?” asked an astonished Justin. Cooper, Free Flight’s outreach and education coordinator, couldn’t help but grin as she relayed the reputation Obi has won since his arrival. “Every cockatoo that comes in here, he’ll wander over to her, show off and try to climb up her perch,” Cooper said. “He’s such a flirt. Most of the cockatoos, after late 30s or early 40s, their hormones settle down. This guy, he’d father all the bird babies in the world if we let him.” But while that irrepressible vigor made Obi the well-deserved darling of Saturday’s celebration, it’s

SEBASTIAN MONTES

Justin and Rynell Nunez snap a selfie with Obi the cockatoo at the bird’s 68th birthday party at Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary in Del Mar. The Nunezes lived with Obi for five years before bringing him to Free Flight in 2015. also at the root of why so many exotic birds suffer. Parrots and their kin are more than merely clever, Cooper said, they are endowed with the emotional intelligence—and needs—of a toddler. Slight changes in circumstance can throw the birds into disarray. A lifetime with one owner is all but unheard of. “For a lot of people it’s not their fault,” Cooper said. “Pet stores don’t educate, so really well-meaning, kind-hearted individuals are like, ‘I can’t do this, I’ve done 10 years and I’m looking at another 60 years with an animal that knows how to open my medicine cabinet and screams and chases my guests around the house.’” So it was with Obi. For four happy years, he enjoyed an idyllic life at Justin and Rynell’s home in the hills east of Irvine. Then Rynell’s mother fell ill. In an instant, attention was in short supply. Obi lapsed into destructive behaviors that compelled his agonized owners to give him up. “Not just anybody can care for these animals,” Cooper said. “They’re manipulative. They’re needy. They are expensive and they are chaotic.

There’s so many good moments that outweigh the bad, but the bad is tough to get through. It’s like a child’s Terrible Twos — except that it might last 10 years.” That’s what drove Free Flight to transition into a nonprofit sanctuary in 2009 after two decades as a boarding and breeding facility. When its founder, renowned avian expert Robert Stonebreaker died soon after, Free Flight’s staff and volunteers redoubled themselves to his vision — and have built on it with each passing year. Free Flight is now home to 52 birds, a variety that ranges from species small enough to cuddle into the palm of a hand to vibrant blue macaws with fist-sized beaks that can crack macadamias and snap off an unwitting finger. Each member of that flock costs nearly $600 per year to care for, costs Free Flight covers with donations, admission fees, the occasional grant and by recruiting donors to sponsor individual birds. The Sept. 9 celebration furthered that cause SEE FREE FLIGHT, A21

PAGE A20 - SEPTEMBER 21, 2017 - RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW

FROM FOUNDATIONS, A1 District (SDUHSD) Superintendent Eric Dill acknowledged that issues regarding the foundations have been raised over the last few months, but he couldn’t thank the parents enough for the opportunities that the foundation provides for all students. “Our foundations are the envy of other school districts in the county; they wish they had the type of parent support we do,” Dill said. “It’s amazing. One of the reasons why I’ve stayed here for 16 years is because of what I see in this room and the relationships that we have with our parents.” Perhaps the most ardent foundation supporters at the meeting were members of the Canyon Crest Academy Speech and Debate Team. Team president Kevin Li said before partnering with the CCA Foundation, they were being held back — the foundation helped streamline their club fundraising process which has allowed them to be a highly-competitive, nationally-recognized team, allowing every team member to travel to tournaments and to fund their coach Michael Orfield, a retired Superior Court

judge. The foundation has also helped them with community service outreach in low-income neighborhoods and to put on a middle school summer camp, raising $8,600 for their program. “Without foundations, clubs like ours wouldn’t be allowed to function how they are,” said senior Jennifer Tang. Bob Zimmer, the chief financial officer for the San Dieguito High School Academy Foundation, said it has been hurtful to hear the “ridiculous” statements about the efforts of foundations, noting one comment equated a “heavy-handed” fundraising effort to the Spanish Inquisition. He said he is grateful for the positive experiences he’s had at SDA and he believes everything the foundation has done has been transparent and upstanding. “The support of the foundation is not just monetary, I think the foundations across the district help to build community and you can’t put a dollar value on that,” Zimmer said. Torrey Pines High School parent Beth Westburg said there has been a lot of misinformation in the community about her motives as she has been one of those parents asking questions about foundation operations.

“I want to make it perfectly clear that it is not my goal to shut down or close the foundations,” Westburg said. “I believe that foundations provide needed funds to school districts in order to improve the educational experience for their students.” She thanked all foundation members for their time, money and hard work. “My only request or ‘agenda’ is that all our institutions, including the district and the foundations, operate within the realm of purposefulness, integrity and the spirit and letter of the applicable laws and regulations that pertain to these entities,” Westburg said. Wendy Gumb, who has filed complaints regarding the role of foundation fundraising on district athletics, also stressed she did not want to shut foundations down: “I believe in foundations,” she said. “I think they are a good opportunity to raise money, it just needs to be done in the right way.” The board members all responded with enthusiastic thank yous for the district’s academic and athletic boosters, who enrich the student experience for all students. Trustee John Salazar said he doesn’t think anyone opposes the foundations, he just wants to

ensure that they are following the law. Dill said there have been questions regarding the district’s oversight of the foundations and Dill reiterated that the foundations are “school-connected organizations,” separate from the district. He said they operate independently but they do work with the district “side by side and hand and hand.” Dill said they communicate often — principals work closely with the boards and executive director and coaches work with parent liasons as they set mutual goals about what they would like to fund and what the foundations are willing and able to support. Each foundation has its own board and does its own decision-making — Dill said in his 16 years with the district he has given the foundations lots of advice but he has never made a decision for them. Matt Weil, the vice president of administration on the CCA Foundation board, ran for his post and is charge of the governance committee making sure the board runs with integrity and with “appropriate” transparency. “I can assure you there’s no pay to play in our case because my daughter doesn’t play anything,” Weil said. “We’re

here for their broader good of the whole community.” In response to complaints regarding some fundraising tactics, the district has held legal training with staff, foundation members and parents. Dill said they plan to replicate that legal training three times a year with the different sports seasons. He acknowledged that mistakes have been made regarding “the ask” but he said that the intent of the training was to get everyone on the same page regarding donations so that the message to parents is always clear and consistent that donations are voluntary. Heather Dugdale, the president of the Earl Warren Middle School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) and a Torrey Pines High cheer and gymnastics booster, said the legal training was extremely helpful as a parent, donor and volunteer. “Not one person I’ve met or spoken to has malicious or self-interested motives. It is important that you know all people come from a place of how to do best for our kids and our district,” Dugdale said. “We may have differences of opinion as to our ideas for the best approach but no one has come from a place of malice. I hope that after all this, all parties can come together.”

FROM INTERNET, A1 Hall said that the engineers will decide which part of the Ranch will be completed first, although prioritization will be given to county roads with planned street improvements. “It’s pretty exciting to be involved in a project like this that will impact the future of this community for a very, very long time,” Hall said. The RSF Association expects to fund the project with $8 million from the Covenant Enhancement Fund and bank financing for the remainder with a 10-year, fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan. There will be no special assessments and no new assessments, Hall said. While the RSF Association will finance the 65-70-mile long fiber backbone, it’s up to the homeowner to get the fiber to the home. Homeowners will be tied to the network from a “service point” at one of the property lines of their building site. The connection process will involve installing a new conduit from the service point box to the home or extending an existing conduit to the service point. Homeowners will work with the internet

service provider selected by the Association or another qualified contractor to install or extend the conduit. The biggest questions from homeowners at the town hall were around where the service point box will be located on their properties. As the average cost in most cases will be $6.25 per linear foot, residents wanted to know who decides the placement of the boxes as it could make a big difference in their cost. Hall said the network designers will place the service boxes in locations that will provide the most effective routes to make connections — he said it wouldn’t make sense to lengthen the route in any way. Other residents said they didn’t care at all where he boxes go, they just want internet service. “Thank you for bringing us into the 21st century,” said resident Ray Faltinsky. He said he has four kids at home who can’t do their homework because they can’t connect and a wife who gets frustrated when they try to watch movies and the stream is constantly getting held up. Faltinsky is also unable to get work done from home. “Please bring this to us as fast as you can.”

FROM FREE FLIGHT, A18 thanks to Traci’s Paws, a nonprofit that organizes adoption events and fundraisers for animal rescue groups across the county. While its founder, Traci Wilkerson Steckel, has become well-versed in the smaller of Mother Nature’s critters — cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and the like — Obi’s birthday was her first fundraiser for friends of the feathered sort. She knew to brace herself for the birds’ cunning mimicry, but nothing could have prepared her for the lengths to which they went to trick her during her visits to set up Obi’s party. She stood bewildered on Saturday as she recalled the tirade of imitated voices, cell phone ringtones, and the one bird that learned that the backing-up beep of a delivery truck would bring her outside. “I see them in a whole new way now,” she said. “I don’t see these birds as just an animal anymore. I see them as definitely being a companion.” New companionship comes for about a dozen of Free Flight’s birds each year, after a painstaking adoption process to ensure a proper match. For most of the birds, Free Flight

is the final home they’ll ever know. But that doesn’t solely mean days whiled away playing mind games with their caretakers. Free Flight’s doors are open to the public six days a week, and the nonprofit is determined to expand its capacity to host the growing number of field trips and tourists that are discovering what might be Del Mar’s best-hidden attraction. And through an increasing emphasis on outreach, the sanctuary’s most gregarious denizens venture out to schools, senior centers and community events to spread the word on proper bird ownership. Awareness is far improved in recent years, Cooper said, as people come to better understand that these complex creatures thrive only when treated as a full-fledged member of their family. “We’re definitely in a better season for it,” she said. “More people are becoming educated, not just about parrots but about all animals, and being in tune with their emotions and knowing their needs outside of being items in their homes.

FROM BOARD, A1 definitively where candidates stand on the issues,” Kent said. “The best option is to hold an election based on the issues and allow voters to elect the next school board member that truly reflects the majority of the people they represent.” Former parent Diana Knickrehm noted that appointed members lack the beneficial experience of the election itself, which requires reaching out to the entire constituency, explain priorities and respond to feedback. Knickrehm also said she worried that being appointed affects the board members’ loyalty, as they owe their position to fellow board members. “Bypassing elections has become a bad habit in Rancho Santa Fe and it’s time we stop it,” Knickrehm said. In response to the public comments, Kahn said he does not feel beholden to Todd Frank and Seltzer, who voted to appoint him to the board. He said there has been no resulting voting block and he feels

his opinions have sometimes differed and he is able to express them through his vote. “I feel like you can do an appointment and still act as an independent individual,” Kahn said. Kahn said he did feel that, in 2016, the timeline was too rushed — he was appointed just four days after the resignation of Richard Burdge. At the time, the tight timeline was pushed as the board was in the process of interviewing new superintendent candidates. Last year, Frank abstained from the vote to appoint Kahn as he was in favor of a longer appointment process. Last week, Frank again advocated for a longer appointment process and said that, in all, he thinks the appointment process has worked effectively. “I’m more than comfortable with the appointment process, I think it’s worked successfully here,” Seltzer said. “It hasn’t just worked here, it’s worked at our Association, it’s worked at elected positions across the United States all the way

FROM ARTS, A6 recognized as one of the leading American authorities on the works of Shakespeare. His Globe directing credits include The Winter’s Tale, Othello, The Twenty-seventh Man, the world premiere of Rain, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, and Hamlet. He also directed All’s Well That Ends Well as the inaugural production of the Globe for All community tour. Edelstein has taught Shakespearean acting at The Juilliard School, New York University’s Graduate Acting Program, and the University of Southern California. His book Thinking Shakespeare is the standard text on American Shakespearean acting. Trained as an artist, Maria Mingalone’s nontraditional background allowed her to develop a flexibility of mind that constantly seeks creative expression, an instinct to respond to the unexpected, and a talent for making something beautiful out of nothing. These qualities, added to years of experience as an institutional leader, professional administrator, trained museum educator and curator, empower her to envision the potential in people and things, and the ability to take ideas and make

FROM AFRICA, A6 that would make such a difference in their lives.” While they visited the Zulu community, one of the babies Lucy (the daughter of Rosie’s oldest child) got so sick from drinking dirty water from the stream that she was in a coma for five days and almost lost her life to the bacterial infection and from being so dehydrated. Since June, the Banuelos family has made an effort to fundraise for a water filtration system called Naiade for the village. If they reach their $5,000 goal, they will be able to provide safe, free water for 300 people per day for 10 years. The system can be installed

up to the United States Senate. It’s not some strange anomaly that happens in the Rancho Santa Fe School District.” Seltzer said that the district has a strong track record of a good number of quality candidates, noting last year, even in the shortened period, they had five candidates step forward. “I think it’s worked well, I’m fully confident that we will have a tremendous number of great applicants as we always have,” Seltzer said. “We have an amazing community and an amazing parent population.” The board will collaborate on interview questions for the candidate and they welcome input from the community. In her public comment, Kent said she would like to know how candidates feel about topics such as the approved school master plan and whether they support moving forward with another school bond measure for a new school gym.

Jolene said no matter what, they are committed to bringing some kind of water solution for the village, whether it’s smaller water filtration buckets, a water well or the Naiade system. “We are super excited to return to see everyone and to implement a clean water system so the children and their families can feel safe when they drink water and know that they won’t end up in the hospital from a water-born illness,” Jolene said.

FROM BATTING, A2 problem for her as she believes the district’s checks and balances practices had “broken down.” “The gifting of public funds is a serious issue in public governance,” said Gumb, noting over the last six months San Diego County has seen issues with Congressman Duncan Hunter, the superintendent of the Poway Unified School District and the lifeguard in Del Mar. “We see what this breakdown in checks and balances does to a community. We are not able to go back and fix the lack of governance that took place with respect to these cages being constructed and how they have been used and we further are unable to undo the damage of entities that have taken advantage of the good nature of our district.” Gumb questioned whether the donation was given with an implicit or explicit agreement that some service would be rendered as a result. Speaking during public comment, Torrey Pines baseball pitching coach Chris Possemato said he was “exhausted” by the situation, in which their team was accused of pay for play and using the cages for financial gains. In August, the California Department of Education found no evidence to support that claim. “The integrity of the coaches at Torrey Pines is non-negotiable,” Possemato said. “I can tell you that Coach Kirk McCaskill is one of the best people I know. He spends 25 to 30 hours taking care of the field for no pay, no glory, there’s no newspaper articles about that.” Possemato said the entire coaching staff are there because they love to coach and they love kids and they are grateful for the gift of the batting cages — “kids that the donor

FROM SPECIAL ED, A2 staff, that there needs to be an independent person to lead this process.” His recommendation for the independent facilitator is a recently-retired, “highly respected” Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) director in Orange County. She was an assistant superintendent overseeing special education and student services who also oversaw the transformation of an Adult Transition Program in Garden Grove. The parents argued that the facilitator will only work if he or she is impartial. The parents said that as the selected facilitator had worked previously with Miller and as a special education administrator, she could not be impartial. “I wonder whether the end product in this new model for special education has already been decided and that the task force is really going to be just providing cover for the final report,” parent Janet Schenker said. “This is how you’re being perceived.” Schenker said the composition of the task force is “lopsided” with just five parents and 17 district representatives and with the selected facilitator having an administrative background, “it appears to some parents that you’re stacking the deck.” “All we’re saying is pick somebody impartial who hasn’t been involved in administration,” said parent Ellen Montanari. “They don’t have to have experience working within schools at all. A good facilitator just makes sure everyone is heard. That’s it.” Miller clarified that he has only worked with the suggested facilitator in committee

doesn’t even know will get to use for years and years to come.” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill acknowledged that the donor, who wished to remain anonymous but has been named as Andy Singer, gave the district “one of the most generous donations that we’ve ever had.” “His intent was to build a great facility,” Dill said, noting his original plans were “quite grand” and they had to be scaled back a bit. Dill said Singer had asked if local youth clubs would be able to use the cages if he was able to build them. Dill said the district used to charge foundations for use of school facilities but they subsequently crafted a provision for foundation-sponsored events to have use of school facilities at no charge in recognition of the benefit that the district receives from those fundraising activities. The foundation made an agreement with the donor to sponsor use of the cages. According to TPHS Foundation President Nicole Baril, local youth teams have use of the cages approximately 200 hours per year, bringing in $25,000 to the foundation. “It wasn’t exclusive use,” Dill said, noting that the district facility is only made available when not in use by the school. Singer’s son is now in college and Singer is receiving no direct benefit from his gift other than the great feeling he must have that the top rate facility is being used by so many young softball and baseball players, Dill said. “There is no personal benefit and he didn’t even want his name attached with it — he’s never even asked for a brick,” Dill said. “Did we make an error in not presenting this donation in 2013? Yes we did. So here we are with the formality of accepting this donation.” meetings, she was never a colleague. He also said he was only directed to form the task force, he said it was not the direction of the board to involve parent input in the facilitator selection. In response to parents saying that there was too much staff and not enough parents on the task force, SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill noted that the task force meetings will be open meetings and there will be opportunity for comment and input. After some board discussion, the board agreed to find other candidates for the facilitator contract. “I rarely get involved in micromanaging and who you all hire, the only reason I’m going to make this statement now is because of the abysmal track record this district has had with students with special needs,” board member John Salazar said. “We just saw the $500,000 catastrophe we went through with the ATP students, we’ve put these parents and children through so much stress….If it doesn’t start good, it won’t end good. I think we should just get a few other candidates and let them have some involvement in this.” SDUHSD Board President Amy Herman initially said she was concerned about delaying the work of the task force and from the recommendation, it seemed like the selected facilitator was a good fit. However, after listening to public input, Herman said she would be willing to table the selection of the recommended facilitator and bring forward different candidates. “I want this to work,” Herman said. “I want to regain the trust of the special education community.”

Week of events to celebrate Breeders' Cup

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY PAM KRAGEN Hoping to cash in on the excitement of horse racing’s premiere event, the Breeders’ Cup series in Del Mar in November, a weeklong festival of events, has been recently announced. The Breeders’ Cup World Championships, being presented for the first time at the Del Mar Racetrack on Nov. 3 and 4, is the high-stakes, year-end championship for the thoroughbred racing season.

Shelley Reed is in residence through Oct. 6 at the Lux Art Institute in Encinitas. Her show is on exhibit through Nov. 4.

At Lux, Shelley Reed’s art for the ages

Lux Art Institute: Shelley Reed

When: 1 to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. In residence through Oct. 6, on exhibit through Nov. 4 Where: Lux Art Institute, 1550 S. El Camino Real, Encinitas Tickets: $5; free for those 21 and under and bicycle riders Phone: (760) 436-6611 Online: luxartinstitute.org “I love color, but color can be very seductive,” she said. “You could appreciate a painting just for the color. I like things that are toned down so you can see certain relationships more clearly.” Her other three paintings on display, which range from 7.5 to 10 feet high and up to 11 feet wide, are created with oil on paper. Individual sheets of paper are arranged in grids to create one artwork. Reed said she hangs the paper and sketches her drawing. Then she removes each section to paint it individually. The titles include the names of her sources of inspiration. “Tiger (after Janssen and Landseer)” poses a tiger next to a tree. The tiger was re-created from a work by 19th-century English painter Edwin Landseer. Originally, the tiger was in a cage with a lion tamer holding a whip among cowering big cats denoting man’s domination over the wild. “I took the tiger out of the cage and placed him in a landscape where the story is ambiguous. He could look scared and vulnerable or aggressive and about to attack,” Reed said. The other two paintings — “Bird (after Oudry)” and “White Horse (after Grant and Stubbs)” — are also open-ended. Is the horse sad? Is the upside-down bird dead or alive? Reed said she got her inspiration living in London after graduating from Boston’s School SEE LUX, B18

MARTINA SCHIMITSCHEK rtist Shelley Reed draws from the past to create new stories for creatures and objects first painted hundreds of years ago. She combines flora, fauna and still-life objects from old masters to create vivid, detailed paintings in stark black and white. “The issues they were dealing with are still relevant today,” Reed said. “Although we have made strides, there’s still the pull of the instinctual and violent.” Four of her works are on display at Lux Art Institute, where Boston-based Reed is a resident artist through Oct. 6. While there, she will be working on a fifth painting. These pieces, which are measured in feet, spring to life in their full size. “I’m interested in creating almost an installment where people think they can enter the landscape,” she said. The largest piece, “In Dubious Battle,” is 7 feet high and 47 feet long and is gleaned from 23 artists dating from the 16th through the 18th centuries. People can immediately relate to Reed’s artwork because there are so many familiar objects and styles, said Reesey Shaw, the founding director of Lux. “It celebrates art’s lineage,” she said. “In Dubious Battle” starts out peacefully on one end with a menagerie of hunting dogs, exotic birds and a monkey playing violin amid baskets of fruit and other luxury items of the past. The painting, based on extensive research of art history, progresses past neoclassical architecture and a horse on what looks like a chess board and ends with a battle between lions, a tiger, a leopard and hunting dogs — punctuated by a bunny looking on. “When I added the bunny, it totally changed the narrative,” Reed said. That narrative, which can be everything from human power struggles to man’s shortcomings, is up to the viewer. “I try to make an open-ended story. I set up the situation, and viewers can create their own story. Sometimes it’s about the moment.” It’s Reed’s attention to detail on the 11 canvas panels painted in oil that draws the viewer in. Her skill with gradients and shading and the play of light against dark create a world that seems out the past, yet fully alive.

Hall Private Wealth Advisors values integrity, putting clients’ interests first BY KAREN BILLING Since opening in 2016 in Solana Beach, Hall Private Wealth Advisors has become a local leader in the wealth management industry, offering a range of asset management, financial planning and business consulting services. “The practice has grown dramatically,” said Russell Hall, founder and managing director. “We’ve had excellent asset growth and portfolio performance has been exceptional. This has led to some wonderful new client referrals to our firm.” Hall said he gets a great sense of satisfaction helping clients who come to him with problems he can help find solutions for. “People that come to us are generally unhappy with portfolio results and they’re starting to distrust in the relationship they have with their broker,” Hall said. “They’re tired of underperformance, not understanding what they own and paying excessive fees — they simply want integrity in the relationship that they have with their advisor.” At Hall Private Wealth, Hall said they take the time to really understand clients’ objectives, ensuring that portfolios are structured and aligned with their clients’ needs. He aims to keep the practice’s relationships with clients collaborative and transparent. “Relationships are what it’s all about for me,” Hall said. “The clients we have are like family to us.” What sets Hall Private Wealth apart is its money management style, leaning toward “deep value discipline.” Hall understands that clients have concerns about market changes, the geopolitical climate and future economic meltdowns. “We find value in almost any environment,” Hall said. “We’re very focused on preservation and making sure that we capture returns during the good times, while protecting during the bad times. Our deep value approach — finding hidden values — gives clients peace-of-mind knowing that we aren’t just jumping on the bandwagon.” The son of a civil engineer, Hall grew up overseas in exotic places such as Pakistan, Trinidad, Puerto Rico and Mexico City — he attended high school in Long Island and college in Western New York before moving to San Diego in 1990 to start his career at PaineWebber. He spent 18 years as the senior vice president of PaineWebber (later acquired by UBS) before moving his practice to Morgan Stanley, where he spent seven additional years. After 25 years he decided to open his own office, focusing on high net worth clientele. Hall said the practice’s primary focus is asset management, noting many of his clients have undergone liquidity events — senior executives at publicly traded companies or founders who’ve had multiple exits. He also handles corporate wealth management for company retirement plans. “Generally, they are all looking for preservation and fairness,” Hall said. “We provide concierge level service to our clients.”

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

Chopra Center begins offering Ayurvedic breast massages BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Women and men can now relieve pain through a massage that pays attention to an often ignored body part — the breasts. The Chopra Center in Carlsbad, located at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, began offering the breast massages in mid-August as part of their “Ayurvedic” spa, which offers a dozen different treatments, meditation and yoga. Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old Indian treatment that stimulates the connection between the mind and body. “Traditionally in Ayurveda, there’s no part of the body we miss,” said Jennifer Johnson, spa director at the Chopra Center. “When we started, we weren’t addressing the breasts here in California because of some different regulations. We found that there was a large part of the population that actually needed this work.” Most massage parlors are not licensed to massage breasts due to state regulations. About a year and a half ago, the center received state authorization for the breast massages and began training its female massage therapists, known as healing arts masters. Johnson said the massages — which require a recommendation from a physician and pay attention to all areas around the breast from the sternum to the back of the skull by moving lymphatic fluids — are beneficial for physical and mental stress. The healing arts masters are trained to deal with any emotions that might result from

the stress relief. The breasts are only 10 percent of the actual treatment, Johnson said. Patients may either keep their shirts on or go topless. “We’re opening up all of the muscles in the area,” Johnson explained. “This is about the other restrictions that are happening throughout the body.” Lymphatic fluid can only move three ways: through manual manipulation, movement and breath, Johnson noted. Bras constrict the breasts, which can make it harder for the fluid to move around properly, and therefore cause congestion. The massage can help relieve fluid buildup that can cause pain in areas such as the chest, neck and back. Johnson said the massage can help people recognize abnormalities in their bodies. The treatment, which costs $215 and is available to everyone and not just Omni guests, is ideal for all people, especially women. It can also help detect diseases, such as breast cancer, early. “The number one thing we have for women against breast cancer is finding it early,” Johnson said. “Having that awareness of your body can help you notice changes and find abnormalities early.” The Chopra Center is located at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, 2013 Costa Del Mar Road in Carlsbad.

reporting for the Washington Post, chronicled in their best-selling book and the Oscar-winning film All the President’s Men, toppled the Nixon presidency and forever changed the way the world looks at politics and politicians. More than 40 years after Watergate, as a frequent contributor on MSNBC, CNN, and other major networks, Bernstein continues to bring his astute analysis of what goes on behind closed Washington doors. Address: 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. For tickets, visit bit.ly/2xsOHsv or call the JCC Box Office: 858-362-1348. All seats reserved.

Fighting the Good Fight: The Benefits of Conflict Watch any movie or TV show or read any book and you’ll know that the active ingredient to any story is the conflict. Conflict is what tests the hero. What happens if the heroes avoid conflict at all costs? Well, in most cases, their world usually falls down all around them, and either they are forced into the conflict, becoming heroes, or the story ends very, very badly. This isn’t just true of good entertainment; our lives are built around conflicts, big and small. There has been research on the benefits of conflict for decades, not only psychologically but also socially and professionally. Conflict contributes to social change. In a large group, conflict can help find the best resolutions, keeping the group from making a hasty or reckless decision. Most importantly, close relationships can’t be

sustained without a little conflict. When two people come into each other’s lives, there’s bound to be a bumping up of ideas and desires. Partners in strong relationships won’t always agree, but they will have a constructive process for resolving differences. Conflict helps a couple to work through the issues, and more importantly, it can teach people a lot about themselves and others in the process. So what are the best ways to handle conflict? Don’t be the wrecking ball or the doormat. The two ends of the spectrum—people who are addicted to conflict and those who are allergic to it. Someone who is conflict-negative avoids conflict at all costs, or if faced with conflict, will handle it destructively. Conflict-negative people are prone to withdrawing, out of fear of rejection or shaming, and will conceal their true feelings to avoid a conflict. Shutting down might seem easier than risking a potential conflict, sometimes at the expense of clinging to a lie or deception rather than being authentic. Avoiding conflict in this way will often make it difficult for others to trust them. None of this leads to improved wellbeing. However, someone who is conflict-positive might encourage conflict with others in order to reach a constructive means of maximizing the potential

of a situation. This is different from a person who takes conflict too far, to the point of aggression—a conflict addict. A conflict-positive person seeks to resolve the conflict constructively so that everyone involved can benefit from the resolution and that the relationship is strengthened as a result. Aggressive, Passive-Aggressive, or Assertive? Some people thrive on an aggressive form of conflict because it makes them feel powerful or more alive, or that backing down is a form of losing, even if they are wrong. But that’s not what it means to embrace conflict in a healthy way. Have you ever suppressed feelings only to make underhanded comments that border on hostile? This is being passive-aggressive, which can happen when anger or resentment builds up in a conflictnegative person, and it’s a type of emotional manipulation. Being assertive doesn’t mean being aggressive. But it takes courage to stand up for yourself or ideas, to be authentic, even if conflict may ensue. If being assertive is new to you, keep these points in mind: • Be honest. It doesn’t help to lie and manipulate, especially since the goal should be agreement and cohesion. Lying will only break trust, if not now,

then further down the line. And the conflict gives you the chance to put your ideas and your needs out into the open. Especially in a relationship, being able to assert your wants and needs helps to keep your authenticity—and individuality. • Listen. Don’t try to bully people into your way of thinking. • Be flexible. Conflict is a great teacher of flexibility. When you really listen to other people’s ideas, you may find that your own ideas can be shaped by someone else’s input. • Practice emotional control. Try to keep the conflict about the issues rather than about the other person or group. Stay away from personal attacks and try to keep from taking the conflict personally in turn. • Be understanding. Conflict shouldn’t be about winning—it should be arriving at something better. In romantic relationships, you are building a new life out of two separate lives. Remember that open communication leads to understanding, especially since you aren’t likely to agree on everything.

FROM REMEMBER ME, B2 who has been named the 2017 Official Spokesperson for the campaign. Helen Woodward Animal Center encourages the world to join with these philanthropic celebrities and to be a part of this very special day, Thursday, Sept. 28. Chenoweth’s spokesperson-status is particularly meaningful to Helen Woodward Animal Center, as her support for Remember Me Thursday began in its inaugural year. Remember Me Thursday was established in 2013 by Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO Mike Arms. Moved by the staggering statistic of the 2.7 million1 homeless pets who lose their lives each year in the U.S., Arms put out a call to rescue organizations in an attempt to create a global awareness campaign. As creator of the International Pet Adoptathon and the International Home 4 the Holidays program (placing over 13 million pets in homes since 1999), he was able to send out an expansive

request and the response was significant. To be a part of the 2017 Remember Me Thursday campaign, individuals and animal welfare organizations are encouraged to get the entire world talking about pet adoption on Thursday, Sept. 28, by tweeting, tagging, posting and sharing the beauty and life-saving significance of pet adoption using the hashtags #RememberTheRescue and #RememberMeThursday. Animal-lovers can win life-saving funds, toys and food for adoptable pets looking for forever families at their favorite nonprofit, pet adoption organization. To enter the Remember Me Thursday Social Media Contest, upload your rescue pet’s photo and story to the #RememberTheRescue Photo Wall for a chance to win.* (*Restrictions apply. Final selection remains at the sole discretion of Helen Woodward Animal Center).

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

FROM LUX, B5 of the Museum of Fine Arts in 1984. “I was struggling to come up with a subject that was meaningful, and at the same time looking at these fabulous paintings,” she said. The idea came after drawing a detail of a painting she had seen. During her stay at Lux, she will be working on a grid painting. “The piece is going to be about a sense of space. It will have a landscape with interesting, dangerous occupants,” she said. “It’s really a unique view,” Shaw said. – Martina Schimitschek is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune
