Twenty Poway residents have applied for a vacant seat on the City Council. Twelve candidates filed their papers on Monday prior to the 5 p.m. deadline, according to the city clerk’s office. Councilman Steve Vaus was elected to a four-year term as mayor on Nov. 4. He had two years left on his first four-year council term. Vaus and the other three councilmembers will appoint someone to finish the term. The candidates will be invited to introduce themselves at a special
City Council meeting set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6. The council will then trim the list down to a undetermined number of semi-finalists, who will be brought back at the Jan. 13 council meeting for interviews. That list will likely be trimmed to a few finalists who may be invited back to the Feb. 3 meeting. Vaus has said that he’d like the council to select one candidate at that meeting. The candidates are: • Mar y Baker, the president of the San Diego/Orange County chapter of the Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights. She is the creator and workshop leader of citizenninja.

Suspect jumps to death in jail SAN DIEGO (CNS) — A man arrested for allegedly starting a fire that severely injured his girlfriend in Poway was found dead today at the Central Jail in downtown San Diego. Sheriff’s Lt. Jim Walker said reports of a dead inmate came in around 10:20 a.m. Vidal Abraham Webb, 41, reportedly jumped from the second tier of his housing module to the dayroom floor. Webb allegedly set his girlfriend on fire Sunday morning in the 13800 block of Belvedere Drive. She was taken to UCSD Medical Center’s Burn Unit with serious injuries, sheriff’s Sgt. Chad Boudreau said. Deputies were sent to the Poway home around 5:10 a.m. after someone called for help saying a woman was on fire and other residents were dousing her with water, Boudreau said. Webb fled before deputies arrived, he said. Webb was located at a home in the 3800 block of Chamoune Avenue near Wightman Street in City Heights on Sunday night. He held of f law enforcement of ficers for 7 1/2 hours before being arrested early Monday morning. He had been scheduled to make his first court appearance tomor row on charges of attempted murder and arson causing great bodily injury. The county Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause of death, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
The Poway Symphonette, at their performance at Melk Monastery in Austria.
Poway Symphonette home from Vienna tour BY EMILY SORENSEN
Members of the Poway Symphonette spent several days on the trip of a lifetime in December. Eleven members of the 20-strong chamber orchestra, along with family members, traveled to Vienna, Austria, to participate in the Vienna Advent Festival, where they performed at Vienna’s City Hall during the closing ceremonies of the festival, as well as at three other locations, departing on Dec. 17 and returning on Dec. 23. For Ulli Reiner, who founded both the Poway Symphonette and its elder sibling, the Poway Symphony Orchestra, the trip was a chance to expose her musicians to not just the Vienna Advent Festival, but Vienna itself. “There is nothing more inspiring and spiritually uplifting than to stand in the great halls and cathedrals of Europe performing works of some of the greatest composers that ever lived and to actually become a part of both your own history as well as the past. Walking the cobblestone streets that are centuries old and some even dating back to as
far as Roman times you cannot help but feel the presence of those that lived and walked those same streets. It was indeed a most humbling experience expressed by all on this tour to perform in these great cathedrals and halls and a true trip of a lifetime,� said Reiner. In addition to performing at Vienna’s City Hall, the musicians performed at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, St. Peter’s Church and Melk Monastery. Reiner formed the Poway Symphony Orchestra ten years ago. In 2009, she formed the Poway Symphonette, a smaller, more intimate chamber orchestra for those musicians who weren’t comfortable in the bigger orchestra, or who weren’t quite at the level yet to perform in the Poway Symphony Orchestra. “I saw the need for a smaller ensemble that could train musicians,� said Reiner. “(The Poway Symphonette) performs chamber music, which is more intimate.� The symphonette, which is operated through the Poway Adult School, is made up of professionals, community members and former Poway Unified School District students, some of whom
Reiner has known since they were in sixth grade, she said. “It’s so wonderful to see them keep music in their lives, even as adults.� To simplify their traveling, Reiner said they chose to bring their own music and music stands, but rent instruments in Austria, rather than risk theirs being damaged in transit. “Airlines are really cracking down on what can be brought on board,� she said. Another benefit was being able to return them after finishing performing their concerts, to make sightseeing easier. “It was the best decision we could have made. Everyone was thrilled with the quality of the instruments we rented.� Reiner said all the concerts they performed in Austria were well attended, with the concert at Melk Monastery being standing-room only. “Everyone seemed very appreciative of our work,� she said. The Poway Symphonette will next perform in March during the opening ceremony for the middle school orchestra festival at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, which is hosted by

At the top of THE Singer’s priority YEAR list is a strategic AHEAD planning process where the City Council, working with Singer and department heads, will attempt to develop a vision. It’s something that Singer, hired six months ago, has been mentioning to the council for some time. It has been understood that the work would begin sometime following the November 2014 election.

try� in the process of transforming from a growing city to one that is maturing. For example, the recent opening of the new Lowe’s home improvement store on Poway Road could well be the last new “big box� retail store in the city for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, much of the Poway Business Park has been developed and there isn’t much room in the city for new residential developments. Singer this week said he envisions the council meeting for a full day or perhaps two half days with an outside paid consultant serving as a facilitator. He said the list of possible consultants has been a narrowed down to two. The session or sessions might be held as soon as March or April, he said. SEE FUTURE, Page A6

Politicians discuss the major issues for this year BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The economy, infrastructure, education, drought, fire protection and health are among issues elected government leaders representing locals at the county, state and federal government said they plan to focus on during this year. At the county level, Supervisor Dave Roberts, who represents Rancho Bernardo and 4S Ranch, and Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who represents Poway, listed similar goals for 2015, including fire prevention and Alzheimer’s research. “The county will add a third helicopter to its firefighting fleet,” Jacob said. “Since 2003, the county has spent nearly THE $320 million to YEAR bolster fire proAHEAD tection across the region and it continues to make improvements. For example, 2015 will be the first full year that Poway and other communities will have access to San Diego-based night-flying helicopters for water drops and other emergencies.” Roberts said he plans to continue strengthening his relationships with city and regional fire officials to protect communities that interface with wildland areas. The supervisors said they will work together on The Alzheimer’s Project, a regional initiative started last year to help the elderly. This will include launching a ratings system for residential care facilities, which will give families a new tool to find quality care for their elderly loved ones. They also plan on ramping up efforts to find a cure and
2015
help Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers. Also in the healthcare realm, Roberts said he will continue to advance improvements to the county’s mental health system. Roberts said he plans to continue working closely with the North San Diego Business Chamber to promote economic development in Rancho Bernardo and along the Interstate 15 corridor through methods like the chamber’s Think Local First initiative. He also wants to continue providing networking opportunities for small-business owners to connect with purchasing officials from government agencies and big companies. He also wants an expansion of the county’s Property Assessed Clean Energy initiative, saying some of the private companies mostinvolved with it are based in Rancho Bernardo and they provide good jobs. Jacob said among improvements that will affect Poway residents is the county completing its purchase of 100 acres for the Sycamore Canyon/Goodan Ranch Preserve near Poway. “The acquisition is part of a broader county effort to preserve native habitat and create a network of regional trails for the public,” she said. “The preserve will host events throughout the year, including nature hikes and stargazing.” She also mentioned the county’s $375,000 contribution toward remodeling the Poway Library, which is set for completion this spring; and funding it giving to local organizations, including the Poway Historical and Memorial Society, Poway Performing Arts Company, Friends of the Poway Library and the Poway Center for the Performing Arts
Foundation. At the state level, Assemblyman Brian Maienschein — who represents Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch and Poway — said he will be focusing on higher education, public safety, the economy, jobs and drought. “The rising cost of a college education is becoming an increasing burden on our students,” he said. “That is why I’m supporting Assembly Bill 42, which would relieve the financial burden on working students and families by freezing the cost of tuition at schools like San Diego State and Cal State San Marcos while the Proposition 30 education tax increases remain in effect.” Maienschein said his constituents are fortunate to live in one of the safest areas of the state, but San Diego County still faces significant public safety challenges, such as human trafficking. “Last year, I authored a new state law to double the maximum sentence for those soliciting minors in prostitution,” he said. “I am committed to continuing that work of protecting our youth and strengthening public safety locally and throughout the state.” Like Roberts, Maienschein said he also supports the Think Local First initiative and plans to promote similar policies to grow the economy in San Diego and communities throughout the state while chairman of the assembly’s Local Government Committee. “Protecting California jobs will continue to be a top priority for me,” he said. Regarding the drought, he said experts agree that will be California’s norm for the foreseeable future and he is advocating conservation. “Every drop of water we can save today is a drop we can use tomorrow,” he
said. At the national level, Rep. Scott Peters, who also represents all local communities, said in 2015 he sees three areas ripe for action — making Congress work for the country again, creating jobs and promoting the region’s innovative sectors, and honoring promises to veterans. “Congress is broken, and needs reform so that it gets back to working for you,” Peters said. “I will be focused on making No Budget, No Pay — the idea that if Congress doesn’t pass a budget, it shouldn’t get paid — permanent.” He also mentioned reducing inefficiency, waste and unnecessary spending in the federal government; and reviewing regulations to make sure they are helping spur growth instead of delaying or stifling it. “While the economy continues to recover and job-creation picks up, Congress must get its act together, look to the future and avoid the self-inflicted crises that have kept our country from its full potential,” Peters said. “Reducing the national deficit, passing common-sense tax reform, making college affordable, building resiliency against wildfires and other natural disasters, and upgrading our nation’s crumbling infrastructure will help the economy grow.” Regarding veterans and their families, he said the country “must honor the promises we made.” He said one of 2014’s highlights was a package of reforms to the Department of Veterans Affairs that he helped pass. “But that must only be the beginning of a sustained effort to reform the culture of complacency at the VA,” Peters said. “Our veterans deserve better.”
Blue Sky free hiking series PUSD board to review returns with two levels policies Monday morning BY EMILY SORENSEN
The annual hiking series hosted by the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve will be returning starting Monday, Jan. 5, this time with two levels of difficulty. The traditional hiking series, which works its participants up to hiking up Ramona Dam in six weeks, will be joined by another class aimed at beginners, which will run for eight weeks and will culminate with a hike around Lake Poway. The non-beginners class will begin at 9 a.m., and the beginners class will begin at 9:30 a.m. Both will meet in the Blue Sky parking lot, 16275 Espola Road in Poway. This is the fourth year that the hiking series has been held. “We discovered last year that we have a number of returning folks, who are faster and more experienced. This can be intimidating to newbies,” said Annie Ransom, the interpretive services coordinator for Blue Sky. Splitting the class means that they can also accommodate more experienced hikers without having to hold back as much for those new to

hiking. “It’s been a pretty big success in the past,” Ransom said. “Last year we had about 60 hikers.” The year before that had over 100. Docents Gillian Pinsky and Mike Green will return to lead the classes, with Pinsky leading the non-beginners class and Green leading the new beginners class. “Gillian likes to move,” said Ransom, “and Mike likes to stop and smell the roses, so he can dictate the pace for the beginners.” There is no fee to participate in the series, and no registration is required. Anyone interested can simply show up and participate. Having two groups also allows people to switch between the two if needed, said Ransom. “If people find that the fast group is going too fast, they can pop into the slower group, or vice versa.” Attending all the sessions is not mandatory. The non-beginner group will slowly increase both their distance and elevation during the course of the series, finishing with a 5-mile round-trip hike up the Ramona Dam, which is fairly flat for the first mile before becoming SEE HIKING, Page A3

It will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon in Conference Room 204 of the district office, 15250 Avenue of Science, Carmel Mountain Ranch. The agenda calls for the board and Supt. John Collins to review unspecified PUSD policies and procedures along with the California School Board Association’s “Guide to Developing Your Governance Handbook.” The plan, according to the published meeting agenda, is to “discuss that make recommendations

regarding board governance, board roles and responsibilities, and related board policies, procedures and protocols,” In proposing the session at the regular Dec. 8 meeting, Beatty said wants the board to write a procedures and protocol handbook, to start crafting a “strategic vision” covering the years 2015-2030 and to talk to key district staff members. The overall goal, Beatty said, is to “spend significant amount of time building an effective governance team.” Whether that will be done with or without a consultant remains to be seen. Supt. John Collins suggested that someone from the CSBA could be brought in to help with the handbook, but Beatty said she felt that would not be necessary. The next regular school board meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20 at the district office.

Local fulfills travel aspirations while teaching English “(They need to be) good at adjusting to the new and unpredictable,” she said, adding, “we’re looking for those who are passionate about teaching.” Because the annual salary is roughly $24,000 — it is paid in the country’s currency and worth varies based on the exchange rate — it is better if teachers are single since it is not meant to support a family overseas, she said. Teachers have to pay their rent and the cost of living varies per country. “The cost of living in China is rather cheap,” she said. “We provide housing assistance when finding an apartment so they are not taken advantage of.” Upon arrival, teachers are given an orientation that explains their host country’s culture, words for basic products and various essentials, like where to do their banking. “I really learned a lot about myself, being thrust into a situation where I can’t control everything,” Wagner said. “I learned how to put my best foot forward. The biggest thing I learned is that people around the world are just trying to do their best. You might get into situations where you think because of a language barrier you can’t communicate effectively, but in the end ... they are just trying to help you.” Her experiences, first in Russia and now in China, also dispelled some misconceptions. “It is unfortunate that Russians are typecast as negative and cold, but I did not find that at all,” Wagner said. “So too in China, where they were so helpful, friendly and understanding.” For information on teaching English overseas, go to www. englishfirst.com/trt or contact Wagner at rachel.wagner@ ef.com.
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A Rancho Bernardo High graduate is looking for others who might be interested in living overseas to teach English like she did for three years in Russia. Rachel Wagner, a 2005 RB High alumna and daughter of Alice and Richard Wagner, said she got a job soon after her 2009 graduation from the University of California, Santa Barbara, but yearned to travel. “(During college) I studied in England and always wanted to go back,” Wagner said. In September 2011, Wagner got her wish through Education First, which hires people to teach English around the world. Wagner, an English literature major with a minor in Italian classics, said she got a certificate to teach and moved to Russia, even though she did not know Russian. “Russia seemed exotic,” said Wagner, a San Diego native. Because it is an immersion-based program, Wagner said she did not need to know the native language of her students, who ranged from elementary age through adults. However, while living in Russia she began to pick up phrases and eventually enrolled in classes so she could have an easier time conversing with those she encountered while living overseas. Many of her Russian friends, however, spoke English, which she called “amazing and impeccable.” She said many of her students were “false beginners” because while the classes were designed for those with no knowledge of English, many of the Russians she taught already knew some, especially those who lived in cities like Moscow or St. Petersburg. “During its years as the Soviet Union, they studied German or English (in school),” she said. Her students’ motivations for learning English varied, but many enrolled due to business or a desire to travel and share their culture, Wagner said, adding that when traveling around the world they are more likely to encounter people who speak English than Russian. Their English fluency depends on many factors, including their age, but within a year or so most learned enough to get their message across in English. Within two or three years, if they regularly attended classes, they could become basically fluent. Studying Russian helped Wagner understand the reasons behind her students’ difficulties, she said, especially since sentence structure is very different. An English sentence’s meaning is derived by word order, but in Russian, word endings give the meaning, she said. As a teacher for an immersion program, she had to think about how one communicates with a child, including the use of pictures and gestures. “When learning a new language, we are all a child of that language,” she said.

Rachel Wagner in front of St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow. While she started as a teacher, Wagner was promoted to school director and academic support manager. Upon returning to the United States this fall, she was hired to recruit Americans to teach English in Russia, China and Indonesia, English First’s main locations among the 50-plus countries it offers classes. In December, Wagner spent several weeks in China for Education First’s yearly meeting. The trip — her first to China — included attending a conference in Cambodia. Wagner said teachers need to be a college graduate with a clean criminal background check. The ideal candidate does not need to have a background in education, but must get a certificate to teach English as a second language, usually accomplished by taking a 40-hour course.

increasingly vertical. Part of their six-week series will include hiking around Lake Poway to build up stamina and practice. The beginners series will be eight weeks long rather than six, and will finish with a hike around Lake Poway, which is a six-mile hike, but has more ups and downs than the Ramona Dam hike, which will give hikers more of a chance to recover, Ransom said. The first three weeks, both classes will take similar routes before branching off.
“We plan to see how (having two levels of intensity) works, and if it does well, we’ll do it again next year. We make changes each year as needed,” said Ransom. Hikers are encouraged to bring water and wear clothing appropriate to the weather, including closed-toed shoes. Hiking sticks are optional. “Water is the most important thing,” said Ransom. For more information on the hiking series, call 858668-4781 or contact aransom@poway.org.

Business Upsetting North Korea may help your marketing
I
’ve been planning my New Year’s column since last January. It provides a marketing plan for North Korea, including publicity, a new website, and a dandy free vacation sweepstakes. By implementing my plan, North Korea’s image and revenues are sure to achieve three years of guaranteed marketing success. Of course, feeding their people and a few sessions on a shrink’s couch probably wouldn’t hurt either. Apparently, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was irritated by my suggesting his country is seen as anything less than perfect. Being offended, he had his team of troglodytes hack my cell phone. He’s also issued a public threat to attack anyone who reads my column. Therefore, I’ve followed Sony’s lead with “The Interview,� and am cancelling my column for this week. I’m glad this all happened. When “Les Miserables� was banned by the Pope in 1862, sales went through the roof. Ditto works by Descartes, Voltaire, Casanova, and dozens of others. I expect President Obama to soon declare I made a mistake by pulling the column. And Republican Party Chair Rance Preibus will email his millions of donors urging them to read the column to demonstrate to North Korea that we won’t be bullied in our choice of reading matter. Now the question: Will this particular column attract its own cult following? I figure by following
Rob Weinberg ASK MR. MARKETING Sony’s model, 96 percent of Americans should soon declare interest in reading my work. And while there’s been a theory that the activities coming out of Pyongyang were a failed Sony publicity stunt, I disagree. However, Kim, the rascal, did Sony a huge favor. By making “The Interview� a forbidden delight, he’s turned a (probably) mediocre release into the must -see movie of the year. Your business may also benefit from this rare opportunity. If you manufacture anything, odds are excellent you have something Kim won’t like. And the only reason he hasn’t called for your eradication is because he doesn’t yet know about it. So put the world’s bestknown lunatic to work for you by sending him samples or literature about your product line. His address is Choson’gul 55, Pyongyang, North Korea 48458. Will upsetting Kim help your potential sales? Who can say? Then again, look at the visibility it’s generated for Sony. With that said, I wish you a week of censorshipfree marketing. Happy New Year from the entire Marketing family!
'Brighter' future seen for businesses BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK
Local business leaders said they continue to see improvements in the business sector, which means good news for area companies and the region in general for 2015. Dolores Canizales, Poway Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, said last year several businesses were just beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel after years of recession. “This THE year, for YEAR m a n y AHEAD m o r e businesses, the future looks much brighter than it has in some time,� Canizales said. “Most economists agree that San Diego County is on the right track. Biotech, environmental science, health care, construction and manufacturing industries have all reported a significant increase in the number of jobs created. “Two industries that are sure to continue to grow over the next few years are tourism and defense, and both will positively impact Poway,� she said. “A survey of Rancho Bernardo Business Association members found increased overall optimism about the local economy spurred by the Federal Reserve’s intention to keep the price of borrowing low in the face of virtually no inflation, lower oil prices and default rates, and an uptick in hourly wages,� said RBBA President Marty Judge. “With a stable, growing economy, buyers are driving the market in residential real estate sales, table-service restaurants are busier and sales at some retail establishments are up.
2015
Marty Judge
Dolores Canizales “There has been a particularly strong surge in the home improvement industry, with more painting, kitchen and bath remodeling, and lawn care upgrading than in any time since the Great Recession,� Judge said. “Hotel occupancy is improving and there is pressure to provide more upscale commercial rental space.� Judge added, “Membership as well as attendance at the RBBA’s monthly receptions has increased steadily and we expect a surge in membership for the first quarter of 2015.� North San Diego Business Chamber President and CEO Debra Rosen said finding ways to retain businesses and attract more local spending in the region will be one of the chamber’s primary goals in 2015. “It is critical we find ways to address the needs of the region and still remain competitive in an increasingly difficult business climate,� Rosen said. Regarding those difficulties, she mentioned last year’s efforts to raise the minimum wage within the City of San Diego and how a varying minimum wage in the region would impact
businesses. “It would have impacted everyone differently based on where you lived, spent your money and worked,� she said. For that reason, Rosen said North San Diego Business Chamber worked to educate the community about the potential impact on businesses, employees and the public. In 2015, the chamber plans to continue staying on top of regional and statewide issues that will impact businesses throughout the region, she said. Rosen said, “2014 was a year of change for many across the region, and 2015 promises to be a year of continued change.� Part of that change will be through what the business chamber and other such groups provide members. North San Diego Business Chamber is adding two programs, one to help those transitioning out of the military and another for emerging leaders. Rosen said both programs, which start this month, focus on the two markets critical to the vibrancy of the region’s workforce and will focus on workforce development. The Poway Chamber is working with the City of Po-
Debra Rosen way and Small Business Development Center in Oceanside to present free, two-hour business development workshops on the third Wednesday of each month, starting on Jan. 21 in Poway City Hall. The monthly sessions will cover topics such as business financing, marketing and writing a business plan, Canizales said. To create a more dynamic and attractive Poway, last fall the city agreed to hire a planning and transportation consulting firm to conduct a study of Poway Road and assist the city in planning for its future. The Poway Road Corridor Study is expected to provide recommendations on land use, transportation, design/aesthetics and economic development for Poway Road, Canizales said. “With improvements to Poway Road, many businesses will attract new customers and create local jobs,� she added. Rosen said her organization plans to expand the Think Local First initiative, a coalition it helped found. It supports local businesses by raising community awareness on the importance of keeping local dollars in the SEE OUTLOOK Page A6

Along the same lines of planning for the future, work on the Poway Road Corridor Study, commissioned last September by the council, is expected to hit full stride. Anaheim-based MIG, Inc. will be spending 2015 evaluating all aspects of the city’s main “corridor” and will prepare recommendations involving land use, transpor tation and economic development. Public workshops will be part of the process and an ad hoc committee of business leaders and private residents will be formed to provide comments and guidance, Singer said. The company, which has an office in San Diego, will be paid $349,190 for the work. No city general funds would be used. Instead, the firm will be paid from the city’s portion of half-cent “TransNet” highway taxes, Singer said. A key component of the
study will be existing land uses within the city’s socalled “Town Center” area west of the library. The potential for “mixed use” development will studied by the firm. The idea of turning that part of Poway Road into a pedestrian-friendly, commercial/residential district was discussed several years ago but was set aside when the recession hit. A third related “looking forward” item will be a council review of current policies regarding capital improvements projects, capital investments and reserve fund policies, Singer said. Since its creation in 1980, the city has maintained very conservative fiscal policies especially in regards to its reserve. The city’s $34 million general fund has about $23.2 million in reserves, including about $18 million in unallocated money. Historically, past city councils have been hesitant to touch those

Canizales said the Poway Chamber of Commerce has joined other chambers in the county to collaborate on issues impacting businesses and to focus on statewide policy changes for the betterment of all businesses in the region. Leaders of all three groups said their organizations will also continue offering networking opportunities to their members and prospective members throughout 2015. “The North San Diego Business Chamber has a year planned that will have a strong impact on the region and local communities,” Rosen said. “Small business is the backbone of the country and important to the sustainability of our communities.”
reserves. In recent months there has been some talk, initiated in part last summer by the citizen Budget Advisory Committee, to perhaps tap into reserves to generate new sales- and property tax-generating opportunities for the city. While planning for the future will be a major development in 2015, Singer identified several other topics that will likely be discussed: • Proceeding with the design and possible start of construction of a new public center at Community Park. The idea is to replace both the existing, aging Community Center and the nearby Senior Center with a building that can meet both needs. • Deciding on the details of a memorial to baseball great Tony Gwynn that will be built near the Lake Poway field. • Exploring ways to add parking spaces at Lake Poway, Blue Sky Reserve and Iron Mountain. The Lake Poway situation will be discussed at the Jan. 13 council meeting. • The undergrounding of utility lines along Espola Road beyond the currentlyauthorized boundaries. • Two affordable housing projects: the “Habitat for Heroes,” a proposed forsale townhome project for veterans, and a apartment complex for developmentally disabled adults near Pomerado Hospital. • Crime reduction and safety improvements through “proactive enforcement.” • Water conser vation projects and community outreach program. • Investment in technology and tools “for public and organizational benefits.”

Colt Doyle entered the 2014 State Wrestling Championships ranked No. 6 by California Wrestler. The then-junior finished arguably the toughest two-day tournament in the country an undisputable No. 1. Doyle will forever remember 2014 as the year TOP h e b r o u g h t a TEN state title back to 2014 the Titans’ prestigious program. He captured the 160-pound championship, going a perfect 5-0 en route to becoming the school’s first state champion since 2009. “People keep calling me state champion and saying that I am a state champion, but honestly it has not really hit me yet,” Doyle said a few days after winning the title. Doyle’s feat will also be
remembered by many of his classmates thanks to Time Warner’s live stream of the title match that took place in Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield. Right after his thrilling 8-5 win over Oakmont’s Kaleio Romero in the final, congratulatory tweets poured into his Twitter account. Making the memor y even more special for Doyle is the fact he warmed up with his older brother, Cody, before the title match. “It was really emotional,” Colt said at the time. “It was right before the match and him wishing me good luck and being mat side was really special. Then coming off the mat and giving him a hug was just awesome.”

Broncos rebound with historical year The Rancho Bernardo TOP High football program suf- TEN fered through back-to-back 2014 one-win seasons in 2012 and 2013. But 2014 more than made up for the combined 2-19 record it had over those two years. The Broncos turned in a historic 2014 season, capturing the Palomar League title for the first time since 2004 and reaching their first section championship game since 2001. Rancho Bernardo would fall just short of winning the San Diego Sec-
tion Division II crown, losing to eventual Division III state runner-up El Capitan 14-7 in the title game. “There is no shame or embarrassment here,” said Broncos coach Tristan McCoy after the section championship game. “There was zero expectation for us to go this far. We are going to hold our heads up high.” The Broncos boasted a powerful running game and a hard-hitting, swarming defense on their way to a per fect 4-0 mark in the Palomar

League, including its first win over rival Poway in three years. Rancho Bernardo overcame numerous injuries, especially at running back, to win seven straight before losing in the section championship game. “I am so proud of this team and the way we came out fighting this whole season,” said senior linebacker Evan Jones, who led the team in sacks with 11. “It means so much for us to come this far and have this comeback this season and bring some respect back to the program.”

WINNING TEAM — Maranatha Christian Schools’ Bacon Bots robotics team members, from left, senior Emmy Cook, junior Alex Azeka, senior Alex Rogge and junior Travis Knufman, was in the winning alliance at last month’s FIRST Tech Challenge that had 21 robotics teams vying for awards.

There the team formed the tournament’s winning alliance, composed of Maranatha plus a team from the Sacramento area and another from La Mesa. The Bacon Bots also won the coveted Think Award trophy, awarded to teams that best demonstrate how to overcome engineering obstacles through creative thinking.

The Special Olympics Fall School Games, held at Poway High School on Dec. 18, was a day of fun, friendship and lots of soccer, despite a delay of nearly a week. Originally scheduled to be held on Dec. 12, rain pushed the outdoor event back for the participants, who ranged in age from 14 to 22 and were from all five Poway Unified School District high school’s Critical Skills and ASD classes, as well as from Abraxas High School’s Transitions program. The delay in the event meant that several of the participants from Abraxas were unable to attend, due to scheduling conflicts, but most of the athletes were able to participate in the rescheduled event.

Over 230 staff and athletes participated in this year’s games, said event coordinator Erin Nixon, who is a Critical Skills teacher at Poway High School.
“It was a really great day,” said Nixon. “The whole school was involved. The cheerleaders were out. It was a great day to have the kids all together with their friends from middle school.” Despite attending different
high schools, Nixon said that many of the athletes know each other from elementary and middle school, and often don’t get a chance to see each other after moving on to high school. “There’s only so many critical skills programs in elementar y and middle school, so (most of the athletes) are together through eighth grade. The kids were excited to see their former classmates and teachers.” “Back before Del Norte opened and ASD classes began, we used to do holiday parties when class sizes were smaller,” said Nixon. The parties stopped when class sizes increased. “It’s nice for the kids to be able to get together at least once a year.” In addition to the PHS cheerleaders cheering the athletes on, Nixon said the PHS drum line also came out to per form, someone SEE OLYMPICS, Page B6

Special needs math whiz does well in China competition BY EMILY SORENSEN
Ben Lou, front, with, from left, his father Xiangdong Lou, teacher Kathryn Humberstone and mother Jenny Huang.
After a long and arduous trip to a prestigious math competition in China, 11-year-old Poway resident Ben Lou is home a winner. Ben received 13th place out of about 270 competitors at the 2014 World Mathematics Team Championship, which was held in Beijing in November. Ben was one of six Americans on the junior team competing. Ben said competing in China against over 200 other kids was scary. “I didn’t think I could do well,� he said. Ben’s 13th place finish earned him a gold medal, the only gold medal on the US junior team. For Ben and his mother, Jenny Huang, getting to China was more difficult than the competition itself. Ben has spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic condition that affects the control of muscle movements. Ben is quadriplegic and uses an electric wheelchair. While Ben has traveled to China previously, this time it was only him and his mother, who was responsible for
disassembling and reassembling his electric wheelchair for transport, as well as transporting his manual wheelchair, oxygen, their luggage and Ben himself. “The trip was difficult,� said Huang, who was stuck on both the plane and in the airport in Beijing for several hours while she tried to retrieve pieces of the disassembled wheelchair from her checked luggage and assemble it by herself. It took almost five hours for Ben to compete, as he had to have a translator, said Kathryn Humberstone, who is Ben’s home-schooling instructor. Ben was also honored in China for how he has overcome his disability in order to study and compete in the math competition. He was presented with a special “Blooming Life� trophy at the event. “In China, kids like Ben aren’t treated well,� said Humberstone, “so he was like a celebrity there. (The competition) has never had a kid in a wheelchair attend before.� A number of Chinese children with spinal muscular atrophy took pictures holding signs with greetings or wishes
for Ben, which were shown on a screen while Ben spoke as he received his award. “It was ver y emotional,� said Huang. “Ben was going for a math competition, but he was an inspiration for so many in China,� said Humberstone. Ben also was interviewed by several Chinese newspapers, magazines and other media outlets. “(The media) was very excited about what Ben achieved,� said Huang. “He talked about it in his interviews, about having a disease but being smart, and how he (and other kids like him) need outside stimulation.� Ben said it felt “pretty good� to receive the award and all the media attention in China. His favorite part of the competition was when he got to visit a five-star hotel after it was finished, as well as getting to go see the Great Wall of China. Though Ben wouldn’t call math his favorite subject, as he doesn’t like to pick favorites, it’s something he excels at. He does all the calculations in his head, as SEE MATH, Page B6

Opinion EDITORIAL
LOCAL LEADERS
Don't place restrictions on Poway council choice
T
he four members of the Poway City Council face an important decision regarding which of the 20 declared candidates to fill a vacant seat should be selected. Whomever gets the nod will complete the two years remaining on the term of Councilman Steve Vaus, who on Nov. 4 was elected mayor. We applaud the council for deciding to fill the vacancy by appointment, rather than spending six figures on either a mail ballot election in May or a special election in June. It makes sense to spend that money on other things and the appointment process is much quicker; someone could be named as soon as Feb. 3. Each of the applicants has been invited to make a brief presentation before the council at a special meeting to be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 6. After that there will be a couple of rounds of cuts as the council whittles down the list. There have been whispers that at least some of the councilmembers would prefer to select someone who would declare now that he or she would only serve for two years. The theory is that the person picked now would have a built-in advantage in the November 2016 election as the “appointed incumbent,” and the council should not try to influence the outcome of that election. Well, it used to be that the word “incumbent” was good for 15 or 20 percent of the vote, regardless of the candidate’s performance in office. These days, with a strong, nationwide trend to toss out sitting politicians, we’re not so sure about that assumption. (See the recent Poway Unified School District election results,) Why handcuff a qualified replacement candidate by asking now whether he or she intends to run in two years? Besides, what would prevent someone who promised to step down after two years from running anyway? Another whispered concern is that the council “needs” a member who does not live in north Poway. Three of the four current members reside in the city’s more affluent neighborhoods while the fourth lives in the Rancho Arbolitos community. If Poway was a large city, rather than a smaller one of about 50,000 residents, we could see the point of trying to spread out representation (perhaps through formal districts.) But to select someone based largely on residency ignores the concept of picking the best qualified candidate, period. The list of aspiring candidates is impressive and the council may have to go though some allegiance shifting to achieve majority support for one hopeful. However, there’s no reason to think that a good selection will emerge.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Enforce the law San Diego’s mayor, police chief and city council have shown a lack of legal and moral responsibility in not enforcing the law during recent protests. They have emboldened lawlessness by not making protesters obey the law. Can you assemble and protest without a permit? Can you block public streets and thoroughfares? Can you not enforce and protect? Regardless of the situation you must enforce the law, it is your sworn duty. Not doing so is the first step of anarchy. I am sure the city will sued if a citizen or their property is harmed because the police, fire or medical support can not reach them because the roads are blocked. Let’s not be New York City; let’s stay “the finest.”
HERB TUTTLE Rancho Bernardo
Support appreciated The Fleet Reserve Association, Poway Valley Branch 70, would like the thank everyone who participated in our Thanksgiving and Christmas fundraisers. One-hundred percent of everything donated was turned into holiday baskets for lower-grade
militar y ser vice member families. They were well received. A special thanks to California Keg, Smart & Final and the Poway News Chieftain for their generous donations to our military families.
DAVE ASHWELL Poway
Budget surplus ideas I read the city of Poway has another giant general fund cash surplus — a staggering $5.6 million. This year, its city leaders don’t know what to do with it. Their mindset has been or may be to pay down pension obligations, hand out raises to the staff or, better yet, invest in more exploitative capital appreciation bonds. I think it’s time we invest back into our infrastructure, a Poway Road Archway, “Poway, City in the Country” — or at the very least, some updated Christmas decorations on Poway Road. Continued revitalization of Poway Road should be a top priority of this new council. We need new, innovative ideas to attract more businesses to our city and to encourage all residents, including north Poway, to shop and support our local economy.

Sallie Rostad 1940 – 2014 Sallie Rostad, 74, of Poway, died Saturday, December 20, 2014, at home in the company of her family. She was born June 15, 1940, in Pickens County, South Carolina, to Joe and Daisy (Owen) Smith. Sallie’s family moved to Lockport, New York, in her youth, where she graduated from Lockport High School in 1958 and received a degree from Erie County Technical Institute in 1960. Sallie moved to California, where she married the love of her life, Grant Maynard Rostad, on August 27, 1966. In 1968 the couple moved to the house in Poway that they would call home for the rest of their lives. Sallie worked for many years as a medical secretary in the Anesthesia Department at the Veterans Administration Hospital in La Jolla, California. Prior to and after her retirement, she loved going to Padres games and to Del Mar to bet on the ponies.
Upon her retirement, she enjoyed having extra time to socialize with her friends and family. Sallie relished living in Southern California and never considered leaving, but she did not forget her roots in both Upstate New York and South Carolina. Her favorite movie was Gone With The Wind and she kept in touch with her high school classmates in New York. Sallie was an excellent cook and her southern roots and New York upbringing inuenced her skills. Among her specialties were fried chicken, chocolate chip cookies and meatballs. While Sallie’s culinary skills combined her Northern and Southern roots, her own palate was decidedly Southern Californian, as Mexican cuisine was, by far, her favorite. Sallie will be remembered for her infectious smile and positive attitude, as well as her toughness. She was diagnosed with Cancer within months of her husband passing away, yet she not only persevered but thrived for six years, far longer than initially predicted. She was always eager to meet with her friends for lunch and shopping and especially enjoyed traveling to see her family. Her family and friends will miss her, but are thankful that they had the opportunity to be a part of her life, and that she was a part of theirs. Sallie is survived by her only son, Grant Randall Rostad, and her brother,

Later, he earned a Master’s Degree from University of Southern California. Owen worked in the Aerospace industry for much of his career. He was also proďŹ cient in chemistry. At an age when many people retire, Owen founded his own company, Corrosion Engineering Services. The company started small but grew into a large and successful enterprise. Through his company he employed many people, and they, like Owen, enjoyed great success. Owen was always proud of how many families that were enjoying a high quality life due to the company he founded. Owen’s success was also measured by his service to others. He was generous and gave to many charities. He was always there to support his church, Rancho Bernardo Presbyterian. He would help underprivileged kids, built homes for the poor and generally brought smiles to the faces of many in need. Owen loved his Irish heritage. He loved his church and relationship with God.

Seniors Keeping tabs on an elderly parent when you can't be there Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any caregiving devices or technology products that help families keep an eye on an elderly parent that lives alone? Over the holidays, my sister and I noticed that my dad’s health has slipped, so we would like to find something that helps us keep closer tabs on him when we’re not around. - Concerned Son Dear Concerned, There are many different assistive technology products available today that can help families keep an eye on an elderly loved one when they can’t be there. Depending on your dad’s needs and how much you’re willing to spend, here are some good options to consider. Personal Emergency Response Systems
If you’re primarily worried about your dad falling and needing help, one of the
Jim Miller THE SAVVY SENIOR most commonly used and affordable products for seniors living alone is a personal emergency response system (PERS) – also known as a medical alert device. For about a dollar or two a day, these systems provide a wearable pendant button – typically in the form of a necklace pendant or wristband – and a base station that connects to the home phone line. At the press of a button, your dad could call and talk to a trained operator through the system’s base station receiver, which
works like a powerful speakerphone. The operator will find out what’s wrong, and will notify family members, a neighbor, friend or emergency services as needed. Some PERS today even offer motionsensitive pendants that can detect a fall and automatically call for help. And some offer GPS mobile-alert pendants that work anywhere. Some top companies that offer all levels of services include Philips Lifeline (lifelinesys.com, 800-380-3111), Medical Alert (medicalalert.com, 800-800-2537) and MobileHelp (mobilehelpnow.com, 800-992-0616). Sensor monitoring If you want to keep closer tabs on your dad than what a PERS offers, consider a sensor monitoring system. These systems use small wireless sensors (not cameras) placed in key areas of your dad’s home that can detect changes in his activity pat-
terns, and will notify you via text message or email if something out of the ordinary is happening. For instance, if he went to the bathroom and didn’t leave, it could indicate a fall or other emergency. You can also check up on his patterns anytime you want through the system’s website. And for additional protection, most services also offer PERS call buttons that can be placed around the house, or worn. Some good companies that offer these services are GrandCare Systems (grandcare.com, 262-338-6147), which charges $300 for their activity sensors, plus a $50 monthly service fee. And BeClose (beclose.com, 866-574-1784), which runs $399 for three sensors, and a $69 monthly service fee if paid a year in advance. SEE SAVVY, Page B17

If you’re interested in a more budgetfriendly option, consider Lively (mylively. com, 888-757-0711), which costs only $50 with a $35 monthly service fee. Lively uses small motion sensors that you attach to movable objects like a pillbox, refrigerator door, front door, etc. These sensors will track your dad’s movement/activity and let you know of any abnormalities in his routines. For example, if he didn’t pick up his pillbox to get his medicine, or he didn’t open the front door to go out and retrieve his morning newspaper, you would be notified and can check on him. Lively also offers a PERS “safety watch” in case he falls or needs to call for help. Another affordable option to check out

Evermind costs $199 for the three sensors, plus a $29 monthly service fee. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Chin’s Rancho Bernardo offers traditional Chinese Szechwan cuisine and seafood in an excellent dining atmosphere. Established in 1984, Chin’s has stood out among Chinese restaurants by using only the finest ingredients. Chin’s offers traditional house specialties such as the highly recommended Hon Hon Shrimp: lightly braised jumbo shrimp sautÊed in a sweet and pungent sauce; or Tangerine Crispy Beef: chunks of crispy beef sautÊed with tangerine peel and chili peppers in a chef’s special sauce. Chin’s also offers several vegetarian choices. Lunch choices are as varied and exciting as the dinner menu. Try their Hot Braised Delight: a combination of shrimp and sliced chicken breast cooked in a homemade chili tomato sauce, or their Lin Ko Steak: tender sliced steak sautÊed with onions in a black pepper steak sauce. Their prices are very reasonable and portions are large. Szechwan cuisine is diverse and popular, having been described by the four words: fresh, fragrant spicy and hot, though Chin’s offers many milder, flavorful options for those who don’t prefer spicy or hot. Chin’s Rancho Bernardo is located at 15721 Bernardo Heights Parkway, in the Sprout’s Center. Open 7 days a week for both lunch and dinner; lunch specialties are offered from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and dinner from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. (10 p.m. on weekends). Early Bird specials are available from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Chin’s offers banquet facilities and catering, and the complete menu is available for take-out. Call 858-676-0166 or visit their website at www.govisitchins.com.

CoolSculpt is an amazing technology, developed by some of the field’s greatest minds out of Harvard University, that freezes fat but the skin is preserved. These fat cells are then slowly absorbed and metabolized. This is an effective and straightforward procedure. No anesthesia is needed, as there is virtually no discomfort, and a person can go right back to life or work from the procedure.
Efficiency: The workout style is extremely efficient & requires only two 20-minute workouts per week to see real results. Flexible scheduling is available to accommodate busy work & lifestyles. Services: The Change Fitness offers a variety of services that are customized to accommodate specific physical limitations or restrictions. Services Include:
Dermacare is pleased to announce the addition of the CoolSculpt procedure to their repertoire of body shaping services.

(StatePoint) Just by being outside every day, skin suffers from premature aging, an effect known as photo aging. The new year is the perfect time to resolve to keep your skin looking more beautiful. A majority of Americans mistakenly believe they receive most of their total lifetime exposure from extended outdoor activities like going to the beach, according to a new survey conducted using GfK’s Knowledge Panel. “Actually, those activities account for a mere 20 percent of lifetime sun exposure,” says Dr. Richard C. Kirkpatrick of the Brevard Skin and Cancer Center. “In fact, 80 percent comes from daily incidental sun exposure that builds up over time and ages the skin.” Protecting skin all over your body, even during the hazy and cloudy days of winter, is crucial. Most Americans underestimate the damage to their skin from brief daily sun exposure. In fact, fewer than half agree that short exposures to the sun cause a lot of skin damage. But now that you know better, you can make a positive change.

Yanni's has great food in beautiful new location BY POLLY STANOCH RIX
A
friendly and lively spot, Yanni’s is the perfect place for families and friends to enjoy flavorful food and an array of libations in a beautiful setting. After 12 years in Poway, Yanni and Denise Pihas moved their successful restaurant to a larger location in Scripps Ranch in July. The expanded restaurant features two stylish dining rooms, a large indoor bar with a community table, a spacious outdoor terrace and a relaxing outdoor lounge. Easily accessible off Interstate 15, the restaurant offers plenty of free parking, too. Greek and Italian inspired dishes highlighted on the extensive lunch and dinner menus are prepared in the state-of-the-art kitchen. Enjoy Happy Hour specials created by mixologist bartenders or a glass of wine bottled especially for Yanni’s in the full-service bar. “Our culinary adventure began 30 years ago,” said Pihas, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1985 with his sister and settled in Boston. “I first worked as a pizza cook for a short time at a place where everybody spoke Greek.” Although he did not speak English, he spoke French,
which earned him a position at a French café - an opportunity Pihas is grateful to have had, he said. However, it was his job at one of Boston’s highest grossing restaurants that convinced Pihas to pursue working in the food and beverage industry. Eventually he made his way to Los Angeles, where he and his wife opened their first restaurant. At Yanni’s top-quality ingredients are used, and the dishes are freshly prepared. The ricotta and mascarpone cheese are made in-house as well as the pita chips and salad dressings. “Also what makes a big difference is we provide the best service, whenever we can say ‘yes’ we say ‘yes,’ ” he said. “Always our goal is to wow our guests with something we are proud of.” The new location offers an expanded menu that includes burgers. Keeping with the Mediterranean influence, the lamb burger is topped with gorgonzola, mushroom, onion and avocado ($18). Yanni’s cheeseburger combines bacon, aged cheddar with tomato and lettuce ($16). Nearly a dozen sandwiches are offered on the lunch menu ($11.50 to $14). Steamed black mussels in saffron, garlic cream, rosemary and white wine ($16) are an excellent starter. Or,
mix and match fresh pita bread with one or more dips – Tzatziki, a yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill dip; Hummus, a dip made with garbanzo bean, garlic and lemon juice, and Tirokafteri, a slightly spicy dip made with feta, whipped cream cheese, pepperoncini and serrano peppers. Prices vary from small for $7, large for $10 or the trio for $13. A great variety of bruchetta is available by the slice ($2 to $3 per piece). Pihas shares a bit of his childhood with the Spartan Bruschetta. Based on his grandmother’s recipe, grilled bread is topped with fresh chopped tomato, feta, onion and olive oil ($2.25 per piece). Popular dinners include the chicken lasagna – layers of housemade ricotta, Parmesean and mozzarella cheese in Bechamel and marinara sauces ($16), Alaskan king crab legs with spaghetti, butter, tomatoes, peas and lemon ($36) and NY strip steak ($32). A variety of skewers are available. Choose from chicken, shrimp, lamb and beef tenderloin served with roasted vegetables (from $16 to $22).

Pardee's 'Holiday Giving' effort helps San Diego children and vets As it has since 2002, Pardee Homes is making the season a bit warmer and jollier with its Holiday Giving campaign, which the home builder dedicates to the temporarily homeless, families in crisis, physically or mentally challenged chilren, and others in need. In each of the company’s homebuilding regions, employees decide where to put the campaign’s available dollars. Many add their own money, along with generous donations of after-hours time. In its San Diego region, recipients in the 2014 campaign in San Diego include children, homeless young mothers, and injured and disabled military heroes. “Community giving is a core value of Pardee Homes, and while it happens all year, Holiday Giving holds a special place,” said Beth Fischer, division president for Pardee Homes’ San Diego region.
HOME OF THE WEEK 11462 Lucera Place, Rancho Bernardo Located in the Westwood neighborhood of Rancho Bernardo, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath single-story home sits at the end of a cul-de-sac with a huge shade tree in front. Great location and no traffic! All upgraded with newer dual pane windows, air conditioning, furnace, tile, carpet, paint and more.
“Lending a hand is especially significant this time of year, and is tremendously rewarding for all of us at Pardee Homes.” Pardee’s San Diego division has donated 10 bicycles and helmets to be presented to underprivileged children through the BIA Cares Holiday Bike Drive, an annual Building Industry Association fundraiser. The San Diego division has also donated money to HomeAid San Diego Home Start Maternity Shelter #3 and Thrift Store which was completed this December. Pardee’s remaining holiday giving funds will go to the Warrior Foundation – Freedom Station for San Diego veterans that have been medically retired to help them as they transition back to civilian life. The support center opened in May 2011. “The holiday giving program has become a bright spot in the corporate culture of the company, allowing employees
to celebrate the spirit of the season and the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting the communities in which we build,” added Fischer. “The giving spirit is

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
RB's Huang wins section title Titans' Claudio lacks height,
Franklin Huang became the first boys golfer in Rancho Bernardo High history to win a San Diego Section title in 2014. TOP The then-senior, who is now at TEN Stanford, finished the two-round 2014 tournament at Admiral Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Golf Course with a score of 8-under par. He helped the Broncos finish in second place at the section tournament, second at
the regional tournament and second at the state tournament. It was the first state appearance for Rancho Bernardo since 1999. They shot a 16-over-par 371 at the state championships, missing out on first place by just 10 strokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very proud of the kids,â&#x20AC;? Broncos coach Rich Deem said after the finish at state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is as far as we have ever gone.â&#x20AC;?

Jared Turnage and Powayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest issue was what four to put on the track. But that only made the boys work even harder to earn a spot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In practices, I see the boys working harder than they usually would because now there is somebody faster than them or right behind them that is coming for that relay spot,â&#x20AC;? Lucas said during the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are bat-
tling every day.â&#x20AC;? In the end, it was Morgan, Lucas, Lindsey and Mudd breaking the school record for the final time. The four won the San Diego Section championship in a blistering, school-record 41.45 seconds. The group advanced to state, where it would finish sixth overall. It ran a tad slower there, finishing the prelims in 41.79 and the finals in 41.73.
Jackson ties section HR record
MLB scouts monitored every move Alex Jackson made during the 2014 season and the Rancho Bernardo High slugger handled it like a pro. The then senior showed no TOP signs of nerves, polishing off a TEN 2014 stellar four-year career with 11 home runs and a .400 average. His 11th and final long ball, which came against rival Poway, tied him for the San Diego Section career home runs mark with 47.
Jackson, who was selected sixth overall by the Seattle Mariners and was recently named their No. 1 prospect by Baseball America, smashed five home runs as a freshman, 17 as a sophomore and 14 as a junior. He is tied at No. 1 in the section record book for career home runs with former Rancho Bernardo star John Drennen, who hit 47 home runs between 2002-2005.

but not much else on court BY MICHAEL BOWER Sierra Claudio has not put much thought into playing college basketball. The Poway High point guard has always figured at 5-foot-1 there was little hope of her ser vices being desired at the next level. But the senior might want to star t enter taining the idea, because her leadership on the floor combined with her feistiness on defense is beginning to overshadow her lack of height. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never thought anybody would want a little 5-1 girl,â&#x20AC;? Claudio said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when I played Saturday, (Titans coach Jay Trousdale) told me he thought the Palomar College coach might be interested in me playing for him. That was really flattering, so I have to think about it.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to focus on Claudio when she takes the court. She often is the shortest player on the floor, but even more noticeable is her relentless, in-your-face defense and her ability to disrupt opposing ball handlers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want (spectators) to think I am a scrappy player and I want the girl with the ball to be uncomfortable,â&#x20AC;? Claudio said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to be in their face, screaming â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ball, ball, ball.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I try to tap the ball away and get steals that lead to layups down the court.â&#x20AC;? That has many times been the case. Claudio is averaging five steals/deflections per game this year. On many occasions her thievery has led to easy buckets for the Titans, which entered this week with a 10-1 record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think she plays with a chip on her shoulder,â&#x20AC;? Trousdale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is one of the smallest players on
Poway High's Sierra Claudio.

the cour t, but she is also one of the toughest I have ever coached and I have been coaching for over 30 years.â&#x20AC;? And her toughness translates on the offensive end of the floor, too. Claudio often drives right at 6-plus footers without fear of contact. She will take the layup or dish to teammates when defenders collapse on her. She takes pride in being a pass-first, traditional point guard but can finish at the rim or shoot the 3-pointer when needed. She is averaging nine points and three assists per game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am definitely pass first over ever ything else,â&#x20AC;? said Claudio, who was named to the all-tournament team at the Santa Barbara Tournament of Champions two
weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think ever yone on our team is like that. We have a real selfless team. There is not just one person always looking to score. Ever ybody can score on our team.â&#x20AC;? Claudio is in her third year on the varsity and second as a starter. She is a two-year captain and her name can be added to the long list of outstanding point guards to come through Poway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is not just a defensive player,â&#x20AC;? Trousdale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a good passer, a good shooter and she is also a very good leader. We can add her name to the long list of excellent point guards we have had in our program.â&#x20AC;? And maybe someone will be adding her name to a college roster.

Members of the 2014 RB High girls golf team with coach Tim Steigerwald.
RBHS girls golf reaches state The fifth time proved to be a charm as did the entire 2014 season for the Rancho Bernardo High girls golf team. After reaching the SoCal Regional tournament four straight years TOP and failing to qualify for state, the TEN Broncos finally advanced past the 2014 regional in their fifth try. Rancho Bernardo grabbed the final qualifying spot to state with a third-place finish at the regional. It was their first berth to the state championships in school history. “It feels awesome,” said Broncos coach Tim Steigerwald, after qualifying. “We were on the
short end of the stick the last four years and just to break through is awesome and it as a total team effort.” Rancho Bernardo would end up finishing third at the state tournament. Freshman Calista Reyes led the way with a 3-over-par 75. The finish capped a historic season for the Broncos. Rancho Bernardo also won their first Palomar League championship in school history and put an end to Torrey Pines’ 117 match winning streak with a 183-187 victory at Bernardo Heights Country Club on Oct. 22.

The 2014 season ended with agony for the Poway High boys soccer team. The Titans had earned the No. 1 seed in the Open Division playoffs and then were ousted in the first round by No. 8 Hilltop. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a season to remember. Poway went undefeated in the alwaystough Palomar League and before the loss in the playoffs had gone 23 games straight without being beaten. And the Titans did not post a 15-2-8 record playing a soft schedule. Poway played all of the toughest teams in the county and did not get shutout all season. The Titans scored 74 goals, getting 18 from Bryce Flores, 16 from Miguel Berry and 11 from Kellen TOP Gallagher. TEN The defense al2014 lowed just over a goal per game, while the offense averaged three scores per game. “...We had a 23-game unbeaten streak, we scored a goal in every game and we won the Palomar League. That is not an easy thing to do,” Titans coach Eugene Sasha Peranteau anchored the defense for the 2014 Titans soccer team. File photo Morris said after the season.

and now held by it as such Trustee, in and to the following described property situated in the aforesaid County and State, to-wit: TAX PARCEL NO. 314-254-07-00 From information which the Trustee deems reliable, but for which Trustee makes no representation or warranty, the street address or other common designation of the above described property is purported to be 14179 HALPER ROAD, POWAY, CA 92064-2812. Said property is being sold for the purpose of paying the obligations secured by said Deed of Trust, including fees and expenses of sale. The total amount of the unpaid principal balance, interest thereon, together with reasonably estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Trustee’s Sale is $388,196.04. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-5422550 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.rtspacific.com, using the file number assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. In compliance with California Civil Code 2923.5(c), the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent declares: that it has contacted the borrower(s) to assess their financial situation and to explore options to avoid foreclosure; or that it has made efforts to contact the borrower(s) to assess their financial situation and to explore options to avoid foreclosure by one or more of the following methods: by telephone, by United States mail; either 1st class or certified; by overnight delivery; by personal delivery; by e-mail; by face to face meeting or the borrower has surrendered the property to the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent and that the compliance with Civil Code Section 2923.5 was made at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of this Notice of Sale.

Evan Jameson
Evan Jameson had a senior season that will go down in history at Del Norte High. The boys cross country runner became the first in school his- TOP tor y to capture a TEN league title and the 2014 first to win a San Diego Section championship. A week after winning the Avocado East League title, Jameson claimed victor y in the sectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division III race. He finished the 3.04-mile course at Morley Field in a personal-best
16-minutes, 14.95 seconds, nearly a full 14 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little ner vous because this was the section championships,â&#x20AC;? Jameson said after the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But to be the first section champion at the school is crazy to think about. It is amazing.â&#x20AC;? Jameson followed up his performance at the section championships with a ninthplace finish at the state championships.

MCHS takes leap into playoffs The Maranatha Christian Schools football program turned in its most successful season in school history at the 11-man level in 2014. The Eagles, just two years removed from 8-man football, went 7-3 overall and TOP a perfect 4-0 in Ocean League play. TEN It was the first 11-man league 2014 title in school history and Maranatha was rewarded with its first postseason home game, which it lost to eventual San Diego Section Division V champion La Jolla Country Day. There were plenty of thrills for the Eagles en route to their first league championship.
But nothing tops the come-from-behind win they had against two-time defending Citrus League champion Calvar y Christian Academy. Maranatha trailed 19-7 late in the fourth quarter, but quarterback Christian Cortes led the team to two touchdowns in the final four minutes for the win. The game-winning touchdown was scored as time expired. Cortes scrambled left to avoid the rush and hit Isaac Schwan at the 5-yard line. Schwan shook a defender and dove into the front pylon for the score.

O'Donnell rewrites record book
Jacob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell is arguably the best boys lacrosse player to ever come through Poway High. And you can find his name all over the record books at the TOP school. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell, who TEN is now at Drex- 2014 e l U n i v e r s i t y, capped his prep career in 2014 as the all-time leader at Poway in career points (242), goals (117) and assists (125). The attackerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five goal, two-assist night against
Granite Hills on March 4 gave him seven points and pushed him ahead of former record holder Conor Sanit for the top spot in program history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see how you can say he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best (in school histor y),â&#x20AC;? T itans boys lacrosse coach Zack Burke said in June of 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He beat the careerpoints record by 83 points at a time when lacrosse is more competitive than ever.â&#x20AC;?
