A dozen angry parents of kindergartners denied entry to Willow Grove Elementary School spoke up at the Monday night school board meeting, with Superintendent John Collins firing back. The parents were led by former Poway Unified School District teacher Jennifer Duncan, who is also the parent of a kindergartner denied entry to Willow Grove, despite paying Community Facilities District taxes that went toward Willow Grove. Roughly 60 families from the neighborhoods in Santaluz around Willow Grove discovered in May that their children would not be able to

He said someone from the city’s Public Utilities Department will give a presentation and answer questions during the workshop that might take up to an hour. “It will be pretty interactive,” Kersey said.

Pat Bean, RB Chorale’s founder and director prepare for its “Holly Jolly Celebration,” RB Chorale’s annual holiday show set for Dec. 13-15 in the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. It also presents a spring concert during which six high school seniors compete for a combined $10,000 or more in college scholarships. The scholarships were an important component since the beginning. When the chorale’s original 16 members met in Bean’s Rancho Bernardo living room for their first rehearsal, Bean said she decided the group would put on quality performances that people had to pay to attend, but the money would be given back to the community through scholarships. “When I went to school, vocal students or those studying musical production had limited scholarships available,”

Bean said. “The band members and athletes had scholarships, but it was hard for the singers to get one.” Initially the scholarships went to singers, but over the years the group expanded eligibility to instrumentalists too. More than $300,000 has been distributed over the past 40 years. The competition is countywide. While a panel of judges determined the top six, the audience votes on placements, with three performing each night. Bean said “never in my wildest dreams” did she imagine that RB Chorale would be going strong for four decades, now with around 130 members. She would like to increase it to 150 to 180, but learned after one year when 210 singers crammed on the stage that there has to be a cap due to logistics. Since few venues are large enough to accommodate the full chorus, Bean said smaller ensembles represent the group when invited to perform at public and private events. Last year the entire group recorded a holiday CD with Studio West, an opportunity Bean called “fantastic” and “a wonderful experience,” that also led to RB Chorale distributing an additional $3,000 in scholarships due to CD sale proceeds. Though going strong now, and having received the Bronze Cup in Verona, Italy’s 2005 international choral competition, there

was a time when forming a volunteer-based community choral group seemed unlikely. Shortly after moving to Rancho Bernardo from Hawaii, Bean said she attended a community meeting in Poway. When she suggested the idea, Bean said she was told “it will never work.” It not only worked, but thrived even after Bean and her husband, Bruce, moved to Laguna Hills 15 years ago. The couple is so committed to the group that the couple drives an hour each way every Tuesday for the twohour evening rehearsal. Bean said the chorale’s success is not only because the members love to sing in public, but their camaraderie has created lifetime relationships. She said members have become a family, supporting each other not only on stage, but being there for one another when personal problems arise. Next summer RB Chorale plans to conclude its 40th season with a dinner for all current and former members. She said anyone who no longer sings with the group is asked to contact the organization so they can receive anniversary celebration details. Those who want to perform in December must register by Sept. 24. There are membership fees and costumes cost around $200 for women, a bit less for men.

variety of topics in order to offer “something for everyone.” The most popular presentations tend to focus on history, music and art. She said the group is very social and welcoming, with members coming not only from Rancho Bernardo but other communities including Escondido. All presenters are experts in their fields and often are faculty members at local colleges and universities. However, despite its quality of programs Ryan said in recent years the group has had difficulty recruiting new members. “We have less than 200, but I’d like to have 400,” Ryan said, adding some members are planning on promoting the organization by meeting with individuals and other local groups. The classes are held from 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays and 1:30-3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays. For more information about CEC, go to www.CECrb.org or call 858-4870464.

RB Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast is Aug. 31 DUI checkpoint planned Friday night NEWS BRIEFS
As part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign, a DUI/driver’s license checkpoint will be set up between 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30 and 2 a.m. Saturday Aug. 31 at an undisclosed Poway location.
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK For the 45th year, Rancho Bernardo Kiwanians will raise money for various causes through a pancake breakfast. The fundraiser will be 7-11:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31 at Rancho Bernardo High School near the cafeteria, 13010 Paseo Lucido. Tickets are $6 per person, with children ages 4 to 8 years charged $3. Each ticket includes one entry into a drawing for a 39-inch flat screen television. The winner need not attend the breakfast, as was the case for last year’s television winner, said Julie Sleeper, breakfast chairwoman. Sleeper said the club members hope to raise around $22,000 through ticket sales. She said Kiwanians are anticipating 800 to 1,000 attendees, but that will likely be only half the number of tickets sold, since there is typically a 50/50 ratio between ticket purchasers and breakfast attendees. Tickets will be sold at the event and in advance by members, some of whom will be in front of the Albertsons and Vons in Rancho Bernardo from

Throughout the breakfast musical entertainment will be provided by the Dixie Strutters. As for the breakfast’s proceeds from the club’s largest
annual fundraiser, they will be divided among many charitable projects, programs and organizations that the Rancho Bernardo Kiwanis Club supports, Sleeper said.

PUSD uses Mello-Roos taxes for lunches and old school repairs (Editor’s note: The following story was posted this week on the KPBS website. It was researched and written by members of inewsource, a non-profit investigative journalism group affiliated with San Diego State University. The group’s board members include former Union Tribune editor Karin Winner. The story was brought up during Monday night’s PUSD board meeting. We are reprinting it here, with permission, for readers who might be interested. We also asked for, and received, a response from PUSD board President Marc Davis and Vice President Todd Gutschow.)
By Joanne Faryon inewsource SAN DIEGO — Mello-Roos taxes, paid by homeowners in new developments, are a virtual ATM for the Poway Unified School District. The district has accumulated so much surplus in these special taxes it spends some of the money in neighborhoods that pay no Mello-Roos at all. The district pays for everything from a garbage disposal to catered lunches to a $49,000 three-day planning meeting. It even bought a multi-million dollar administration building and furnished it using Mello-Roos money. There is no legal limit and no standardized formula for calculating Mello-Roos taxes. In some cases, the formulas are so convoluted that homeowners have virtually no way of knowing whether they’re paying the correct amount. What’s more there is no state oversight over the funds: at a minimum, the system is far from transparent to those who are footing the bill. Some are asking whether it’s even legal. “We’re not going to engender suppor t for our schools from the broader community if we’re misusing their funds,” Poway School Board Trustee Kimberley Beatty told inewsource.
No room at the school When Mike Smith and his wife bought a house in an upscale San Diego suburb seven years ago, they were planning to start a family. Smith agreed to pay an extra $4,140 on top of his regular tax bill every year to pay for the roads and parks in his neighborhood and most importantly, the promise of a new school in the acclaimed Poway Unified School District. He was happy to know he and his wife could walk their child just a block to class. This summer, Smith was ready to cash in on his investment. His daughter is 5 years old and entering kindergarten. But he and 55 other families were told in May there wasn’t room at Willow Grove Elementary School. They were diverted to a much older school, in need of repair. “It’s not what we were signing up for,” Smith said. The school is nearly five miles away from his home. Mike Smith believed he was paying the extra Mello-Roos property taxes so his daughter could go to the school on her street. But he learned in May there’s no room for her.
Smith’s Mello-Roos taxes were signed into law in 1982 as a way for developers to pass on the costs of infrastructure in new neighborhoods to property owners. They create minigovernments called Community Facilities Districts or CFDs that are administered by cities or school districts. The premise is that growth should pay for growth. The CFD can issue tax-exempt municipal bonds and pass the debt costs onto property owners in the form of Mello-Roos taxes. They can range from less than $100 a year to more than $10,000. In return for paying these special taxes, the property owners have fresh roads and state-of-the-art schools. How the Poway district is able to renege on its deal with Mike Smith and the other families is a question not easily answered because figuring out where Mike Smith’s money is spent is like disassembling a pyramid one stone at a time. inewsource spent months combing through financial documents, reviewing bond statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission, poring over reams of tax data and bills paid with Mello-Roos money to discover a labyrinthian system that brings in so much money it has accumulated $168 million in cash in more than 200 bank accounts. Because bonds finance other bonds and funds are combined in accounts, it is almost impossible to follow the money. When two inewsource reporters sat down with Poway district officials last year to learn about how Mello-Roos helps pay for schools in new neighborhoods, Superintendent John Collins said the taxes could be used for buildings, school buses, even computers, anything that had a lifespan of five or more years. What inewsource found, however, were invoices for hundreds of miscellaneous expenses related to repairing, upgrading, and furnishing district of fices and schools inside and outside of Mello-Roos communities Both Poway superintendent John Collins and Marc Davis, the president of the school board, who chose to be interviewed together, defended how much they collect in Mello-Roos taxes and the way the funds are spent. Parents love Poway schools and they don’t complain about their taxes, Davis said. “In fact, we have people flooding to our community. We have high quality schools, high quality infrastructure, high quality facilities, and parents come here because they love the area,” he said. “And so if this was an issue I think we would hear some blowback from our people and I just don’t hear it.”
Taking from Mello-Roos The name can be deceiving. The Poway Unified School District stretches 100 square miles in the center of the county, encompassing the city of Poway, and several neighborhoods in the city of San Diego. In fact 26 of its 37 schools are in San Diego. The district has a great academic record — with all of its schools exceeding state standards. Its financial record suffered a major
blow after it used a capital appreciation bond to finance $100 million in school renovations, a financing scheme that will end up costing taxpayers $1 billion. Voters approved the renovations in a bond measure, Prop C, in 2008. Voters also approved Prop U in 2002, allowing the district to borrow nearly $200 million to upgrade older schools. The improvements included new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, according to a presentation by Collins at a school board meeting last year. In that same presentation Collins told board members the renovations were complete. But just four months ago, the school board approved spending $16.5 million of MelloRoos funds to upgrade the HVAC systems at Rancho Bernardo and Mt. Carmel High Schools, the same schools that were supposed to have already been upgraded with Prop U and Prop C funds. What’s more, neither school is in a MelloRoos District.
Kimberley Beatty, a former DEA special agent and law school graduate, was elected to the Poway School Boar d last November. As a homeowner in Sabre Springs who pays Mello-Roos taxes, she wonKIMBERLEY BEATTY dered whether it was even legal to take taxes earmarked for new facilities and spend it on older schools. And why the district hadn’t been able to renovate the schools with the previous bond funds. Beatty said she was told the district ran out See TAXES, Page A8

A Poway Girl Scout’s Gold Award project that combined her interest in horses and helping others might also have sparked her career aspiration. Ambassador Girl Scout Kayla Hoppe said she utilized her “strong connection” with horses to complete a project at Poway Valley Therapeutic Riding Center (PoVa). Her goals were to educate the special needs community on the benefits of equine therapy, expand access to nearby programs and hold a free hands-on event for children with special needs so they could experience these benefits. PoVa is a recreational therapeutic horseback riding center for people with physical and cognitive disabilities. While at PoVa, Hoppe said “the deeper my passion grew for this type KAYLA HOPPE of service. ... I witnessed miracles and milestones in the lives of children attending PoVa. Seeing the joy that this type of equine therapy brought to both the children and their families, I knew I wanted to share my new found passion with those who did not yet know about it.” The project was the last requirement to earn her Gold Award, Girl Scouting’s highest honor earned only by 5.4 percent
of Girl Scouts nationwide, according to the organization. “Earning my Girl Scout Gold Award is something that I am very proud of,” Hoppe said. “Not only does it feel good to have set out to do something and accomplish it, but my Gold Award has sparked a new passion in me. “Through working with children with special needs and equine therapy, I now hope to open my very own therapy center called Hooves, Hands and Hearts, and continue the work that I started with my Gold Award,” she said. The daughter of Poway residents Brett and Angelina Hoppe graduated from Poway High in 2012. She completed her freshman year at California State University, San Marcos, where she is a communications major, made the dean’s list and National Society of Collegiate Scholars member. Over her 12 years in Girl Scouting, the Troop 8677 member also earned her Bronze and Silver Awards. She is her younger sister’s troop co-leader. In addition to Scouting, Hoppe was a cheerleader, gymnast, diver, part of her church’s core team and Miss Poway Princess in 2012 and 2013. Hoppe said besides her Gold Award ceremony, her favorite Scouting memories were made during troop camping trips because “those trips were where we really became a family, and I have made friends and memories on those trips that will last me a lifetime.” Hoppe received her Gold Award during Girl Scouts San Diego’s annual councilwide ceremony on June 8 in the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall in Sorrento Valley.

Barn Owls! Tired of rodents gnawing on your fruit trees, gophers snatching your vegetation from below, or rats scuttling -up your downspout? Invite a couple of barn owls over and they’ll gobble up the vermin at a rate of 2,000 a year. “Barn owls are incredibly widespread in America, so when you put up your nest box, you’ll start seeing barn owls take roost in them in short order, and then they’ll start going to work for you,” said Tom Stephan, master falconer, raptor expert and owner of Barn Owl Boxes in Ramona. “Using natural predators is more effective than conventional trapping or poisons, it’s economical, eco-friendly, and protects local wildlife,” he added. Tom and his team hand make every owl box out of Luan Mahogany panels made from recycled materials. For as little as $350.00 installed on a galvanized pole or in a tree. And buying a box is a one-time investment, they cost nothing to maintain. The Hoo’s Hoo box comes with an installed camera and is one of their best sellers. Just connect the camera to your TV or computer and enjoy the best reality show you’ll ever see, watching the babies is really fun! Tom’s passion for birds of prey began in 1962 while doing research for a wild animal report in second grade. This led to much climbing of trees to better observe birds of prey, which led to a career as a tree trimmer (and later a certified arborist). While bidding a job, he noticed an improperly hung owl box in a potential client’s yard. He offered to install it at the proper height and angle needed to attract owls, and three days later the lady was thrilled to report that a pair of barn owls had begun nesting in it. “This was the first owl nest box I installed,” said Tom. “Now, nearly 20 years later I have over 34,000 under my belt. I spend my days sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge of nature and its in habitants with people around the world. This is my definition of success.”

She married Isadore Lawrence “Larry” Goldberg in June 1959 and they settled down in Metuchen, NJ, for 40 years. They spent their golden years in San Diego, CA, where Sue tutored school children, volunteered at the Mingei International Museum, traveled the world, and
became an amateur photographer. Sue’s first love was weaving and she was a longtime member of both the Westfield Weavers’ Guild (NJ) and the Palomar Handweavers’ Guild (CA). Sue is survived by her son, Robert Goldberg and his wife, Young Soon; daughter, Karen Finn and her husband, Mark; grandchildren, Arielle, Kaylene, Toby and Jessica; sister-in-law, Sally Butzow; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents and two brothers, Ernest and Robert. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the Palomar Medical Center for their support in her final days. Arrangements for a celebration of Sue’s life will be announced at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the Palomar Handweavers’ Guild, www. palomarweavers.org; the Westfield Weavers’ Guild, www.westfieldweavers. org; or the Textile Museum, www.textilemuseum.org.

OBITUARIES
Gary Albert Mongrain 1945 – 2013
Gary Mongrain, formerly of Poway, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, August 3, 2013, after a tough battle with cancer. Gary was born on
February 28, 1945, in Portland, Oregon. He attended school in Ridgefield, Washington, and graduated from Seattle University. He traveled the world for business and on a stop in Utah, he fell head over heels in love and eventually married the love of his life, Betsy Nelson. Together they had two daughters, Jill and Catlin. A man’s man, Gary loved his race cars, tools, politics and getting his hands dirty working the land of his country ranch in Ramona. His strong will, laugh and willingness to debate will be greatly missed by all. He loved his girls; playing with his two wild grandsons, Quinten and Cash; and spending time at home surrounded by those he loved.
A celebration of his full life will be held at the Bernardo Winery on August 23, 2013 at 3 P.M. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/pomeradonews

TAXES
CONTINUED FROM PAGE A8 Roos and believed their children could attend the new school. “We’ve paid it for 8 years now, and we’re just now getting our first kid into kindergarten,” Mike Eagen said. Jenny Duncan, whose daughter was looking forward to starting school with her friends, said Adobe Bluffs “is not equitable in any way to the school they’re being sent from.” Willow Grove is five years old, has an artificial turf field, interactive garden, an outdoor amphitheater and a computer lab with 30 workstations. Adobe Bluffs is 21 years old. In June, the school board approved spending $728,000 in Mello-Roos funds to upgrade the bathrooms and the exterior of the building. The Mello-Roos act says families who pay special taxes that helped pay for a new school should get priority in attending that school, but how much priority they get depends on how much of their taxes paid for the facility. Given the district’s complex financing system and the general language used in describing school facilities in CFD and bond documents, the average homeowner doesn’t stand a chance of tracking her special tax dollars. Collins, the superintendent, says all the families whose children made it into the kindergarten class at Willow Grove are paying Mello-Roos taxes. “They all have preference, but when it’s full it’s full,” he said. Duncan, Smith and other parents asked district officials at the June board meeting why they couldn’t provide relocatable
LOCAL NEWS classrooms at Willow Grove for their kids. Several of Poway’s schools use these classrooms in expanding neighborhoods. “It’s over $100,000 to move one on and off, and it was the decision of staff not to do that at this time,” Collins told parents at the meeting. In an interview with inewsource, Collins said he never said the district couldn’t afford the extra classrooms. “We can order one now and it will be there in January. By then these kids will be settled in Adobe Bluffs ... and nobody’s going to want to move, and I don’t know that it’s worth that effort,” Collins said. Duncan and the other parents were surprised to learn from inewsource the district has surplus Mello-Roos funds. Some were especially bothered to hear the district spent more than $6,000 on a Cafe sign. “I’d like my money back, please, because my husband and I work a lot of hours to provide for our children. I’d like my money back if they’re not going to use it appropriately,” she said. There is no state oversight of Mello-Roos funds. Local governments have to report bond activity and expenditures to the state treasurer, but that office has no responsibility to question what is reported. Ultimately, the school boards and city councils, which enter into agreements with developers to form Community Facilities Districts, are accountable for the funds, to the taxpayer and the bond market. Beatty says she takes that job seriously and so has been researching the MelloRoos act. Asked whether she thinks the district is
spending Mello-Roos funds illegally, she paused. “I don’t want to conjecture and that is why I would like a legal opinion from an attorney or ... perhaps from the head lawyer of the state (attorney general) to explain to communities, to school boards, to cities, municipalities, what the allowable uses are of Mello-Roos funds,” she said. Collins said the district is just using the financial mechanisms the state allows to raise money for the district. “(Is) everyone happy with every dollar spent? I’m sure they’re not. But are they happy with the quality of the outcome and the facility and the education we’re providing to the next generation? Absolutely,” he said. Beatty takes a different view. “No matter how happy you are that legal obligation of disclosure doesn’t go away.” When Mike Smith learned some of the Mello-Roos funds from his community paid for the Cafe sign at the new administration building he was dumbfounded. “That’s appalling,” he said. Especially because the district decided not to spend the money on a relocatable classroom that could have made room for his daughter at Willow Grove, the school down her street. She was to start school this week. And unless the school board comes up with a last-minute solution that will make room for 55 more kindergarten kids, Smith will be driving rather than walking her to school. inewsource reporter Kelly Paice and data journalist Kevin Crowe contributed to this report

legal limitations on how Mello-Roos dollars can be used. We strictly adhere to these requirements. Additionally, these funds are subject to audits, financial controls, and multiple layers of authorizations. • The HVAC refurbishing that took place this summer at Rancho Bernardo and Mt. Carmel high schools was an authorized expense under the Mello-Roos Act; • The District Office facilities were purchased using CFD funds that were specifically allocated for “Supplemental School Facilities” which include administrative offices; • The issue of over-enrollment in Willow Grove’s kindergarten classes is in no way connected to the district’s use of Mello-Roos funds. This over-enrollment, especially at the kindergarten level, has occurred in the past at schools throughout the district and is directly related to an unusually large incoming class of 5-year-olds at Willow Grove this year. In most cases students return to their home school for first grade and beyond. As business owners and community leaders with over four decades of collective experience, we take our fiduciary responsibilities to our taxpayers very seriously.

OPENS FRIDAY AT AVO PLAYHOUSE IN VISTA
Poway, RB actors to star in 'Les Miserables' BY EMILY SORENSEN An upcoming production of the musical “Les Miserables” is filled with Poway and Rancho Bernardo actors. The musical, put on by the Star Reper tor y Theatre, opens Friday, Aug. 23 at the AVO Playhouse in Vista, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 1. Out of the enor mous 70-person cast, with each role double cast to lighten the load on the actors, seven actors from Poway and Rancho Bernardo will shine on stage, including five in leading roles. The musical, adapted from Victor Hugo’s classic novel, tells the stor y of a convict, Jean Valjean, who seeks redemption after being released from prison. “To stage ‘Les Miserables’ is an amazing feat, but

This is definitely going to be a show to remember,” said director Scott Kolod in a press release. Starring as Inspector Javert, the police officer who pursues Jean Valjean, is Po-
way resident Erik Ramirez. Ramirez, 23, is a full-time actor, and recently finished up a production of “RENT,” while he was in rehearsals for “Les Miserables.” “[Doing two shows at once] has been keeping me pretty busy,” said Ramirez, who graduated from Poway

High School in 2008. Keeping busy isn’t anything new to Ramirez, who was in both Die Lieders and acted in PHS musicals during his time at the high school. Since then, he’s acted in a number of shows, including “Into the Woods,” “Little Shop of Hor rors” and “Beauty and the Beast” with Star Reper tor y Theatre. “Javert is a stickler,” said Ramirez of his role, which he prepared for by watching the recent film, as well as any YouTube re-
cordings of previous Javert performers he could find. Joining Ramirez on stage is Summer Blinco, a 2010 Rancho Bernardo High School graduate, as Eponine, the tragic streetgirl secretly in love with the revolutionar y Marius. “This is my fourth time is ‘Les Miserables,’” said Blinco, who has also portrayed the role of Fantine in previous youth productions.

Blinco, who in addition to acting attends Palomar as a marketing major fulltime, as well as juggling a full-time job at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, lives in Poway. The show’s second Eponine is also a local actor. Fifteen-year-old Lindsay Joan, a 10th grader at Westview High School, will be sharing the role of Eponine with Blinco. “Eponine is the most serious role I have ever done,” said Joan, who has been acting since she was 5 years old, and previously appeared in Star Repertory Theatre’s production of “Beauty and the Beast” as Belle. Joan said she joined Star Reper tor y Theatre after her previous theater company shut down, and that she has done seven shows with Star Repertory Theatre. “I’m one of those people who has to be doing shows,” said Joan, who also See ACTORS, Page A15

Trio of former bandmates start new group, Side Bet BY EMILY SORENSEN Is it possible for a brand new band to have a reunion concert? It is if you’re Side Bet. Side Bet, a new band made up of old bandmates Bruce Huntington, Mark Jackson and Ken Wilcox, will be performing 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23 at Templar’s Hall in Old Poway Park. And though it’s the band’s first concert, it’s definitely more reunion tour than first time out. “It’s kind of a new group, but kind of an old group, too,” said lead guitarist Ken Wilcox. Wilcox performed in the past with Mark Jackson, as part of the Mark Jackson Band, for nine years, before leaving to explore western music. He met Huntington and joined the band Trails
ACTORS
and Rails with him. After leaving Trails and Rails, Wilcox and Huntington performed with another western musician, before deciding they wanted to do something more local, with less touring. After calling Jackson, Side Bet was born. “I wanted to get back into Americana and alt-western [music],” said Wilcox. Side Bet combines Jackson’s more Americana style with Huntington and Wilcox’s more western and alt-western sound. At their concert, Wilcox said the band will be performing a mix of Jackson’s music, Huntington’s songs, and some covers, including Ian Tyson and some traditional music. “We cast a broad net,” said Wilcox. “We can do anything

in the Americana genre, whatever that means.” Wilcox described Side Bet as alt-countr y and moder n western. “People who have followed all our careers will recognize our music,” said Wilcox. These longtime musicians are sure to give a professional, fun show. “All of us can dig from a well of experience,” said Wilcox. “We’re not neophytes.

Young Cosette has her own solo song, “Castle on a Cloud,” that Adams will sing. Adams said she has been singing since 2010, and has appeared as the lead of only one other show. Adams wasn’t familiar with “Les Miserables” before being cast as Young Cosette,

EVENTS ARE SEPT. 7
Poway Days Parade organizers are just $3,000 short of goal RB sponsor also comes forward for new run/walk BY STEVE DREYER Community members are stepping up and writing checks to help finance the 49th annual Poway Days Parade and inaugural 5K/1 Mile walk run, both to be held on Saturday, Sept. 7. Parade chairwoman Pauline Getz on Monday said that $26,000 has been raised to pay for parade expenses, meaning that only another $3,000 is needed to reach the $30,000 goal set by the sponsoring Rotary Club of PowayScripps. Recently added to the list of parade sponsors were the Rotary Club, ($5,000); U.S. Army, Liquid Design - Blanca Fisher and Sheldon Site Utilities, ($1,000); and Mary Karscig and the Mickey Cafagna family, ($500). Donations can be made through the parade website at www.powayparade.org. The money will be used to pay for the transportation of marching bands and for speciality acts, bleachers, portable restrooms and related items, Getz said.
The parade has drawn 70 entrants so far, including the marching bands from Poway, Mt. Carmel, Westview, Rancho Bernardo and Del Norte high schools. An entry form can be downloaded at the parade website. Meanwhile, the run/walk now has an official title sponsor thanks to a $5,000 donation by the Rancho Bernardo-based Live Right Wellness Centers. Founder Harvey Hershkowitz provided the check late last week, according to Getz. The run/walk also has an official starter: five-time world champion BMX (bicycle motocross) rider Dale Holmes, a Poway resident. The 5K route will begin at 7 a.m. and end at Community Park. Runners and walkers will be done in time to enjoy a breakfast to be prepared by the Poway Kiwanis Club and to view the parade along Poway Road. The entire 1-mile “Walk in the Park” will take place in the Community Park. The entry fee is $5 per person or $10 for a family. Runners and walkers can register at www.powayparade.org.

redesigning “the way we do school” at the Del Sur campus next door to Del Norte High School. It is on track to open next August with kindergartners through fifth-graders and most likely sixth-graders living in 4S Ranch, Del Sur and The Lakes, the latter a neighborhood just north of Del Sur. Wrisley said Design 39 Campus will be a school of choice for these students since their families pay Mello-Roos. Whether other students in nearby areas will be able to attend is yet to be determined. She said the campus for up to 1,000 kindergartners to fifth-graders and 500 sixth- to eighth-graders will alleviate overcrowding at Stone Ranch and Monterey Ridge elementary schools and Oak Valley Middle School in 4S Ranch and the near-capacity Del Sur Elementary. The school’s name is a departure from Poway Unified’s 38 other campuses, reflective of the faculty’s goal to redesign the way students are taught, with an increased focus on collaboration. This includes teams of teachers instructing students, rather than an individual teacher at traditional elementary schools. In addition, Wrisley said by learning the skills needed for teamwork early, students will be better prepared for the future. These include letting all voices be heard, sharing the workload so one student does not end up with most of the work while another slacks off, and learning how to value everyone’s contributions. Because the curriculum and method of instruction will be different from PUSD’s other campuses — though elements exist at some — students within its boundaries will not automatically be assigned to the school. So parents can make an educated decision about sending their children to Design 39 Campus, the team is holding meetings with small groups of interested parents at local homes and Del Norte High School.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 2013 PAGE A17
The next parent meeting will be 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27 at Del Norte, 16601 Nighthawk Lane. It is limited to the first 25 who register, with future meetings planned for those unable to attend. To RSVP, call 858-676-6639 or kpeterson@powayusd.com. A meeting focused on developing a computer coding curriculum is also in the works and community members with expertise are being sought for this too. Wrisley said not just the curriculum, but entire layout of the 156,000-square-foot-school on 22 acres at 17050 Del Sur Ridge will reflect the non-traditional teaching method. While students will have a homeroom, teachers will not have an assigned classroom. Instead, 12 teachers’ work areas will be in a shared space to facilitate collaboration. A team of teachers will work with students for three years, breaking them up into small groups for various subjects in order to better address the needs of accelerated and struggling students. While the academic content will be very similar to that at other campuses, Wrisley said the delivery will be drastically different. Teachers will instruct with the mind-set that every student can learn everything by tapping into their curiosity. This and other guiding principles are explained in-depth on the campus’ website.

Stuffed bear campaign earns 4S Ranch girl a college scholarship BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A Monterey Ridge Elementary fifth-grader has earned a $1,000 college scholarship for her philanthropic efforts. Jessica Carscadden, 10, is among almost 200 regional winners in the Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program that over the past 13 years has honored more than 19,000 youths and distributed more than $3.9 million in scholarships and prizes. The daughter of 4S Ranch residents Kathleen and Bob Carscadden was selected from among more than 35,000 nominees in this year’s program. “It’s cool,” Jessica said, who was honored for her We Care Bears project that since 2011 has collected around 4,000 new and gently used stuffed animals. The toys have been given to the Rancho Santa Fe, Poway and San Diego fire departments; San Diego Sheriff’s Department; San Diego Police Department and the Ronald McDonald House so they can be distributed to children needing comfort during traumatic situations.
Jessica Carscadden, 10, earned a $1,000 college scholarship for her We Care Bears project. She has collected approximately 4,000 bears that have been given to local first responders and the Ronald McDonald House. “It’s been amazing and feels great to help people,” Jessica said about the support from her classmates and others in the community.
The project started in 2011 when Jessica decided, while cleaning her room, to donate some of her stuffed animals to the Rancho Santa Fe Fire
Protection District’s Station No. 2 in 4S Ranch. That led to her holding a stuffed animal collection drive at her school and since then the endeavor
expanded to other campuses and local businesses that backed the effort. “It’s exciting that other people value her project,” said Kathleen Carscadden, adding that as long as her daughter continues to be the driving force behind the collections and taking on most of the work she and her husband will encourage Jessica to continue. Carscadden said Jessica was nominated for the Kohl’s award by West Coast Fundraising, which donates the bags used to distribute the stuffed animals to emergency personnel. Each bag holds eight to 10 toys and at least 420 bags have been distributed to police, fire and other personnel. According to Kohl’s officials, the scholarship recipients “are chosen based on initiative, leadership, generosity and project benefits and outcome.” The Kohl’s scholarship is just the latest recognition Jessica has received. She was featured in the July/August 2013 American Girl Maga-
zine, was among 80 semifinalists selected from more than 1,000 nominees in the 2013 Build-A-Bear Workshop Huggable Heroes contest and last year presented the Simple Acts of Care and Kindness organization’s “unsung hero” award. Jessica is also among 50 youths recently chosen as finalists for the inaugural Peace First Prize. If chosen by the national organization she will receive a two-year, $50,000 fellowship to invest in her leadership as a national peace leader. It will include her traveling around the country to speak with community leaders on how to make a difference in the world, her mother said. As for Jessica’s next collection drive, that will be on Oct. 26 in conjunction with Make a Difference Day. Details are still being finalized, but Jessica said some local businesses in 4S Ranch and Carmel Mountain Ranch will be giving incentives to those who donate a stuffed animal.

Creekside Elementary welcomes new principal DA warns of lottery scam using official county seal
BY EMILY SORENSEN
Though it is her first time working with elementary school students, Christine Donnelly is up for the challenge. Creekside Elementary School is one of the many schools in the Poway Unified School District with a new principal for the 2013-14 school year. Donnelly, who has been an assistant principal at Meadowbrook Middle School since 2010, is taking over the role of principal at Creekside Elementary School, while former Creekside principal Robin Robinson moves over to Chaparral Elementary School. “It’s my first time at an elementary school,” said Donnelly, who before she was an assistant principal, taught at Meadowbrook. “I have three kids though, so I have practice [with elementary school age children.” Donnelly didn’t initially plan to be become a teacher. Her initial career plan, she said, was international business, earning a social sciences degree. At 27, she decided to go into teaching. “I just loved it,” said Donnelly. Though she thought she’d be a high school history teacher, she ended up teaching middle school — and loved it. “I really loved middle school,” said Donnelly. “I come from a love of history, and I wanted to share it with the students.” Donnelly also previously worked with the After School Education and Safety program, doing grant work, for
Chrstine Donnelly is the new principal at Creekside Elementary School. six years. “There’s a lot of administrative work running a grant,” said Donnelly. After getting her master’s degree in education leadership, Donnelly said she thought she’d return to the classroom and teach, but was encouraged to go into the administrative side of education. One of the reasons Donnelly is looking forward to working at Creekside, she said, was that the school feeds into Meadowbrook Middle School, her former school. “It’s nice, because I know a lot of the families,” said Donnelly. Despite the new principal, Donnelly said that families shouldn’t expect a bunch of changes for the new school year, as her plan is to sit back and watch. “My main goal this [first] year
is to look and listen to what the teachers need to be successful, and to continue to challenge themselves and the students,” said Donnelly. “It’s all about supporting the staff.” One new change is that all thirdgraders will have iPads in the classroom this coming school year, with a possible expansion to more grades in the following year. The iPads, provided by the Creekside Educational Foundation, will be available to borrow, rentto-own, or students can bring their own from home. “I’m somebody with a lot of school spirit. I like to work really closely with the students,” said Donnelly. “I can see myself being really involved and handson. I’ve got a lot of great ideas.”
A lottery scam uses the official San Diego County seal and appears to be targeting veterans and senior citizens, the District Attorney’s Office warned on Tuesday. The office is investigating and is asking additional victims to come forward to report it. “These scammers are using the legitimacy of a government seal to prey on vulnerable seniors who served their country. They’ve stolen at least one couple’s hardearned savings in a brazen example of financial elder abuse,” said District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis. “It can be embarrassing for people to come forward once they realize they’ve been duped, but we want to help victims and hold these heartless scam artists responsible for their crimes.” District Attorney investigators say a retired San Diego couple, 83 and 79 years old, received several phone calls telling them they had won as much as $2.5 million in a lottery, but they needed to send insurance, and state and federal taxes before the winnings could be deposited in their bank account. As proof of the lottery win, the couple received a faxed letter that included the official seal of the County of San Diego, as well as a photocopy of a check in the amount of $2.5 million made out to them. The letter thanked the victims “for their service” and said the lottery winnings would be deposited into their Navy Federal Credit Union Account once the taxes were paid. As a result, the couple sent money grams and made bank transfers totaling more than $20,000 to various individuals, believing the money was required to receive the lottery winnings. Eventually, the couple provided their credit union account information and a Social Security number in order to allow the winnings to be transferred to their account. Instead, the criminals cleaned out the couple’s savings account, stealing an additional $3,000.

GUEST COLUMN
The first six months By Dave Roberts County supervisor I recently completed my first six months in office and during that half-year, I have made strong progress in advancing reforms for mental health services, adoptions of foster children and renewable energy. I also voted in June to adopt a balanced budget which maintains strong reser ves. My colleagues and I were frugal as ever with public money, but we still managed to expand service levels and create jobs. Also in June — to add transparency and additional scrutiny to Community Enhancement Grant applications — I created a board of community volunteers to review the voluminous submissions and make recommendations to me. Earlier, in April, Vice Chairwoman Dianne Jacob and I brought forward legislation calling for an audit of the county’s mental health system. We expect to see the findings of the audit at our July 30 meeting. We want to help mentally ill people who are unable to help themselves. We want to protect them, their families and the public. Accordingly, we have called for a thorough examination of Laura’s Law, which allows for the involuntary treatment of any person with a mental disorder who, as a result of that condition, presents a danger to others or to himself or herself, or is gravely disabled. Laura’s Law requires that judge to certify the need for involuntary treatment. Another program I am determined to improve is adoptions for foster children. For that initiative, I have found a strong partner in Chairman Greg Cox. We launched our Excep-
tional Families initiative in May, and in June, we received a unanimous vote to streamline adoption programs. We also requested that the county’s staf f prepare a repor t that recommends legislative reforms to improve the adoption process. In another collaboration, Vice Chairwoman Jacob and I have called for updates to the county’s strategic energy plan. One of our goals is to promote guaranteed financing for property owners who wish to install solar panels or make other energy improvements to their property. Known commonly as PACE, Property Assessed Clean Energy allows property owners to pay for energy-efficiency investments over time on their property tax bills. PACE programs are available to commercial property owners in the unincorporated area. Our goal is to make PACE accessible to residential property owners. Looking ahead, community outreach and accessibility will remain as top priorities for me. My electronic newsletter — From Dave’s Desk — summarizes my activities for the week. We have published more than two-dozen of the reports to date. Constituents can follow my Facebook and Twitter posts to stay current with the meetings and events I attend. My Web address is www.supervisordaveroberts.com. For the convenience of our constituents, we have opened a full-time office in Escondido.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Lose Egypt, lose the Middle East
Fire protection needed now
For decades, Egypt, under Sadat and Mubarak with their army’s support, had been a staunch ally of the United States, and like Gibraltar, a bastion guarding the peace, Egypt stood in the Middle East. Presidents Obama and Clinton threw Mubarak under the “bus” and supported the Muslim Brotherhood with known ties to the Islamic terrorists. It was a devastating choice which caused Egypt and the area to become destabilized. If it is allowed to continue it will become another war zone like Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan where our troops are asked to shed their blood. Also, the threat to Israel is paramount. Obama condemned the Egyptian army’s use of force to save their country and has sided with the Muslim Brotherhood while ignoring their attacks on the Coptic Christians. The wrong choice again. Every few years the U.S. Army trains in Egypt with the Egyptian army in operation “Bright Star.” Obama called it off this year, further undermining the Egyptian army’s attempt to stabilize their country. The U.S. Army being in the area could protect the U.S. Embassy personnel. Their presence could prevent another Benghazi. I am not a stranger to Egypt. For three years I commuted to Egypt on business and have first hand experience with its military and the people. I have stood at Sadat’s grave, worked with the army, air force and private businesses, visited the pyramids and shared meals with the people. It wasn’t the democracy we have in the U.S., but it was far better than the situation they have now. It was a prosperous country. If we drive away this ally, Egypt, we will lose the Middle East and the world will be a much more dangerous place. We Americans must act to correct these bad choices now. Call or write the White House and Congress.
After the Witch Creek fire, the fire chief told our homeowners group that the fire department knows exactly where the next big fire will start — the east side of Twin Peaks and Boulder Mountain. Chaparral fires follow 40-year cycles, and that area hasn’t burned in well over 40 years. It’s more than due. If you drive or walk around up there, you see exactly what he means — a thick coat of bone-dry chaparral, packed with crackling dry, dead tinder. But that’s not all. Farther down the mountain, the Del Poniente area is also full of tinder. Blights have hit both the oleander and the eucalyptus, so that homes are sitting in eucalyptus forests where most of the trees are dead or dying, and drives and streets are lined with high oleander hedges that are largely dead, dry fuel. After the Cedar fire the City of Poway passed an ordinance requiring property owners to remove dead brush and dead trees and limbs. For a while, after the Cedar fire, the city actually cleared and mowed the properties of out-of-town owners and billed them. Much of the upper part of Twin Peaks and Boulder Mountain is privately owned. Why do we not hold these property owners responsible? The dead oleander and eucalyptus are such a widespread problem, the city probably can’t take legal action on any but the worst cases, but it could, at least, send out a mailing, informing people of the danger their dead trees and hedges pose to their own homes as well as to their neighborhoods. It could also thin the dying eucalyptus on city property, such as Twin Peaks Road. We have the means to avert, or at least reduce the scope of, an almost inevitable disaster — another huge, home-destroying fire. What are we waiting for?

Public-sector unions have outlived usefulness
couple of decades ago I was vilified by some for an article I wrote predicting that private sector labor unions were a dying breed in America that would become extinct during my lifetime. Today we’re almost there, according to a recent article in USA Today. Only 7 percent of private sector workers and 4 percent of young workers are now unionized and almost all major American industries have developed survival strategies devoid of significant union relationships. What unions like the AFL-CIO didn’t understand was that big business has the freedom to operate in a global market while the power and influence of American unions is derived from laws applicable only within our borders. President Obama and Vice President Biden were right in saying that General Motors would come back. What they failed to say is that the comeback occurred largely through new factories built in Asia, free from the suffocating grasp of organized labor. It is a union-less recovery. What I failed to predict two decades ago, however, was the rise of union power in the public sector. Public-sector unions now have the same choke hold on municipalities and state governments that private-sector unions had during the mid-20th century. There is a big difference, however, between union targets in the private sector and union targets in the public sector. In the private sector, their
I
POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP
Dick Lyles GET REAL targets can move. Private companies pursue their goals in the global market place. As long as they provide products and services the public wants, they have the freedom to avoid unionism by moving operations to countries without unions. Hence the General Motors survival story. Public sector organizations, however, are trapped by geography. They are locked down and must pursue their goals in the locale or region whose needs they were created to serve. Government entities provide services the public needs and have no freedom to avoid union domination by moving away. Hence the bankruptcy of Detroit, and the insolvency of many large cities and several states. Despite of the fact that government entities can’t escape unions, I predict the demise of public-sector unions sooner rather than later. However, the end game for public-sector unions will be very different and their death dance will bear little resemblance to what we’ve seen in the private sector. Rather than dancing a slow waltz from dominance like
their private-sector counterparts, public-sector unions will die out in calamitous crashes, one by one, big city by big city, and state by state in naïve kamikaze fashion by largely destroying the government entities they pillage. Lest anyone embrace the false notion unions care about their communities, just look at municipal employee unions in San Diego. They are the only entities propping up Mayor Bob Filner as the entire community, along with the city staff the unions represent, suffers irreparable harm under the cloud of his perverted presence. Their support is about union power, not about caring for either Filner or the city. Anyone who votes for any candidate the unions support in the future is nuts. I know people who have created waging pools to pick which state government will be the first to declare bankruptcy. (There is a remote possibility it won’t be California.) Within the coming decade, public-sector unions will prove unequivocally that they long ago outlived their usefulness. We can only hope and pray that when this era of unionism comes to a close that it does so with a minimum number of Detroits and a restoration of the kind of reasonableness that Americans deserve.

The Affordable Care Act personalized
n the coming weeks I will be faced with two important decisions regarding medical insurance. First, the group coverage I’ve had will expire in October and I need a replacement. Second, my youngest son seems to have taken sibling rivalry one step too far. Five years after his older brother had two brain surgeries, he now faces a similar problem that may require surgery. Brain surgery is not inexpensive. Good insurance would be helpful. I’m not interested in politicizing this issue. Instead I want to personalize it. Behind politics and abstract policy and constitutional debates lie the struggles of real people facing real crises. My impending choices illustrate the consequences millions of Americans face if the Affordable Care Act is defunded. Seven years ago, I left a position that offered health insurance in order to start a small business. Given that I was a non-smoking, physically fit 44-year-old with no pre-existing conditions, I (naively) believed that obtaining private insurance would be a slam dunk. Instead, I was turned down numerous times based on an old ultrasound finding that my own physician had termed “medically insignificant.” I ended up hiring an employee I didn’t need so my company could qualify for group insurance. I currently work as a private contractor. Prior to passage of the Affordable Care Act, I would have faced three options: 1) go without health insurance; 2) get on a waiting list for a limited number of individual “catastrophic” policies offered by the state; or 3) give up my new position at a small nonprofit and go back to working for an employer that offers benefits. As for my son with a pre-existing condition, prior to the Affordable Care Act, no private company would insure him. We find out this week if he’ll need surgery. If so, his student insurance plan will cover 80 percent of his expenses up to $100,000. Since this is not my first rodeo, I know that
Amy Roost AU CONTRAIRE $100,000 doesn’t come close to covering the costs associated with brain surgery and recovery. Only last year did I finish paying off my older son’s surgeries from 2007 and 2008, losing my house in the process. Medical debt is a factor in more than half of all residential foreclosures in the U.S. What would you do? Would you rely on emergency room care (a less cost efficient way for taxpayers to pay for health care)? Would you forgo surgery for your child and risk him suffering a brain hemorrhage? Here’s what I intend to do: I’ll likely apply for Cover California, the state exchange under the Affordable Care Act that provides coverage for the uninsured and previously uninsurable. My son will likely make do with his student coverage. Should he require surgery, I will be paying medical bills for years to come. That’s life. Literally. The main benefit for me is that I will at least have insurance. The benefit for him is that, even with his pre-existing condition, the Affordable Care Act will allow him to get health insurance if in the future he’s unemployed, or working for an employer who doesn’t offer insurance. That’s a huge relief. On this much we can agree: the Affordable Care Act has its flaws. Few solutions to problems of such magnitude don’t. Hopefully we can also agree that what we’ve had in place isn’t working for anyone whose situation is remotely similar to my own. That would be tens of millions of people. I’m not suggesting that health insurance is a
right or even that it be mandated. However, just as we are able to afford a nicer car when we have a steady and good income, we should, as the richest nation on Earth, be able to afford basic “Chevy” health coverage for all our citizens. Don’t mandate it. Just provide it. Take it out of our taxes. And if you want and can afford a “Cadillac” policy, go out and purchase a supplemental policy from a private insurer. Trust me, capitalism will survive. And more to the point, so will you. Roost is executive director of Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach and a freelance book publicist.

Just what is a ‘prevailing wage?’
O
ver the past few months, there has been considerable discussion locally over the subject of prevailing wage requirements for San Diego County cities. Before I go any further, let me give you a definition from the state Office of Contract Compliance: “The prevailing wage is a base pay rate established by state and federal law to ensure that all Construction workers engaged in public works projects are paid adequately for the craft they are working in.” Simple enough, right? Pay a worker what he/she is worth? The concept being that if public dollars (read, tax dollars) are going to be spent on public works projects, then the workers hired to work on the projects should be paid a decent and livable wage. This is good for the community, its employment base, pumps money into the local economy and helps raise the standard of living. All positives, all results that the whole community can support and stand behind, right? Wrong. Don’t count on the support of most contractors, or developers, or anti-worker politicians for a living wage. “It costs too much, it’s taxpayers’ money,” they scream. It costs too much to pay employees a living wage? Because it is tax dollars we should cheap out on public infrastructure projects? We should deny our neighbors in the trades sound wages for work well done for the benefit of the public? Of course, detractors trot out examples of someone being paid an exorbitant rate for a menial job, but those incidences are few. One of the best descriptions of the need for prevailing wage laws came from City Councilmember Sandy Sheedy of the City of Sacramento: “Absent prevailing wages, public projects become vulnerable to fly-by-night operators
Bob Emery MY TOWN who underbid responsible contractors, pay substandard wages, and produce substandard projects that can lead to enormous costs in the long run.” Until recently, California cities could dodge the prevailing wage laws by becoming charter cities, that is a city with its own “constitution” so to speak rather than operating under the general laws of the state. Seven cities in San Diego County have charters including San Diego, Vista, Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Oceanside, San Marcos and Santee. With the exception of San Diego, whose original charter dates from the 1800s, the rest of these cities adopted charters relatively recently, for the most part, to avoid paying prevailing wages. The City of Poway is a general law city and pays prevailing wages on public projects. That is a good thing. It is nice to know that when we see workers improving our streets, or constructing buildings or other infrastructure projects, the workers are receiving a fair wage for a day’s labor. As a side note, the City of San Diego recently voted to pay prevailing wages for public projects, and the state Legislature is considering SB-7, a bill that would close the loophole that exempts charter cities from paying prevailing (read living) wages. Emery retired from the Poway City Council after serving 28 years. Reader comments, through letters to the editor or online at pomeradonews.com, are encouraged.

Buttercream offers cupcakes, coffee and comfort in Poway BY EMILY SORENSEN In the mood for a sweet treat? Then swing by Buttercream, a new bakery and coffee shop in Poway. Buttercream, newly opened on Aug. 1, is more than cupcakes, offering a wide variety of baked goods, as well as coffee, tea and Italian sodas, as well as a comfortable place to relax, spend time with friends, or study. Co-owned by former coworkers Jeanette Eddery and Kat Jackson, the new store is more than a business for the friends, but a fight against the expectations of retirement. “Life isn’t over just because your industry says you’re too old,” said Eddery. “We’re out to prove ever yone wrong. Just because you’re 62 doesn’t mean you have to hang it up.” Both women were formerly employed in the San Diego hospitality business, with a combined 60 years of experience in the field. When both were downsized about two

The friends are also dedicated to empowering their employees, both in learning the various aspects of running the bakery, and being able to offer ideas, including ideas for new cupcake recipes. Edder y and Jackson took over the location of the former Hidden Deli, which provided its
own set of challenges, as they weren’t allowed to remodel the space. “So we do our baking in the front of house,” said Jackson. “Everything smells really good [in the store].” The duo also redecorated, painting the walls and making it more “homey and comfortable,” said Jackson. Buttercream has a repertoire of 70 different cupcake recipes, with a daily lineup of certain cupcakes, so a customer can See SWEETS, Page A23

Stretching to be flexible
How can a startup be successful? — Marshall Coyle, Anaheim First there’s the usual stuff — financing, planning, marketing, personnel, taxes, etc. But one thing rarely discussed in business manuals is the importance of remaining flexible and treating customers as you want to be treated. It’s my Golden Rule. The importance of flexibility was driven home to me this past weekend in two separate incidents. First I had a credit with a local merchant but the manager insisted I must spend it all at once, which I didn’t want to do. Had she permitted me to spend the credit in portions she would have brought me back repeatedly. Instead, though I’ll eventually use that credit, I’m going to think twice before shopping there again. To be fair, the store is a chain with policies. But Burger King is also a chain, and they built their success on being flexible. Remember this ad campaign; “Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don’t upset us…” We all need to be like that. The second incident confirmed this Golden Rule for me. Wandering into Chicago Pizzeria at 8:10 p.m., the cashier informed us they closed at 8. Given the open doors, 20 diners enjoying their meals, and full kitchen crew, this response surprised me. As we turned to leave, the manager insisted they could serve us. Where the cashier saw rules, he saw opportunity.
Rob Weinberg ASK MR. MARKETING Smart guy! His quick action captured a sale and persuaded us to return, albeit earlier next time. Same customer, two approaches. One probably lost me forever, the other caught my attention. The key differential: flexibility. There are many ways to differentiate yourself from the competition, with pricing, location, and selection the usual suspects. But how cool would it be if you were known for your flexibility? The shop closes at 8? We’re still here, we can serve you. The coupon expired yesterday? You’re here, we’ll honor it. We live in a world of rules, and customers need to feel you see them as much more than a number in a ledger. A great way to do it is with a willingness to bend those rules to suit the situation. You’ll get more business long-term if you do. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Ask Mr. Marketing how to create flexible marketing solutions for your business.

always find something different. The cupcakes, which are all filled and oversized, include vanilla with vanilla mousse filling and vanilla buttercream frosting, a chocolate-chocolate-chocolate, lime coconut and orange Creamsicle. “[All baked goods] are made in small batches, two to three dozen at a time,” said Jackson. “We don’t save anything overnight. Everything is made from scratch everyday.” In addition to cupcakes, Buttercream sells cookies, cannoli, cheesecake and “crownies,” which are brownies with toppings, like caramel and nuts. Jackson also said Buttercream is looking into expanding into breakfast and lunch “cupwiches,” or “lunch in a cup,” like a cupcake with a corn bread base and chili filling. Need to wash down that cupcake? Buttercream also has an espresso machine, and offers a wide variety of blended, iced and regular coffee drinks, made with San Diego-roasted coffee beans from West Bean. The store also offers tea and a range of Italian soda and Italian cream soda flavors. Bring your laptop and textbooks, because Buttercream offers wi-fi, so you can hold a study session while enjoying a coffee and baked good. In the future, Eddery and Jackson said they hope to expand their store into a line of stores over the next five to six years, with the goal of opening one per year. “We love what we’re doing,” said Eddery. “We come from a background of serving people, and making their dreams come true. We want to give our customers personalized service. We want everyone to come in and spend time here.” Buttercream, located at 13624 Poway Road, is open 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday - Friday, and 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday. After Labor Day, Buttercream plans to be open on Sunday. For information, call 858-513-9399.

Two arrested for 4S Ranch robbery SAN DIEGO (CNS) – Two men are behind bars in connection with the armed robbery in 4S Ranch of a person attempting to buy a cellular phone listed in an online ad, a San Diego County sheriff’s sergeant said. Notriga Mandegar was arrested and booked into the Vista Detention Facility Friday for suspicion of robbery, conspiracy and possession of marijuana for sale, according to the sheriff’s department and online jail records. Another suspect, identified by City News Ser vice citing published reports as David Belcher, 18, also was arrested in connection with the July 29 robbery. He was arrested and booked into San Diego Central Jail on Aug. 15 for suspicion of robbery and conspiracy, according to jail records. Sheriff’s Sgt. Todd Norton said the victim met the two suspects in regard to purchasing the cell phone from the ad, at which time Mandegar allegedly pulled a gun and demanded the victim’s money. The robbery took place on the 10400 block of Reserve Drive. Norton said the victim reported the incident to personnel at the 4S Ranch Sheriff’s Substation. Detectives from the 4S Ranch and Encinitas stations served a search warrant at Mandegar’s residence in the 31000 block of Daniel Way in Temecula on Aug. 16, Norton said. He was arrested as he was leaving his residence, according to the sergeant. As of Tuesday, the suspects were still in custody, according to jail records. Mandegar is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail and Belcher in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Assistance programs that help seniors with health care Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any programs that you know of that help seniors with their Medicare expenses? I’m 67 and live primarily on my Social Security, and am having a hard time paying my Medicare premiums, deductibles, co-pays and prescription drug costs. Need Some Help Dear Need, There are several financial assistance programs that can help Medicare beneficiaries who are having a tough time paying their out-of-pocket health care costs. Here’s what’s offered, along with the eligibility requirements and how to apply. Medicare savings Let’s start with a program that helps lower-income Medicare beneficiaries pay premiums and out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Parts A and B. It’s called the Medicare Savings Program (MSP), and it has several different benefit levels for people with different financial resources. At its most generous the program will pay your Part B premium and pretty much all your Medicare deductibles and coinsurance. At its least generous the program will pay just your Part B premium. To qualify for a MSP, the minimum standard set by Medicare, is an income under 135 percent of the federal poverty level, which at the moment works out to around $1,313 a month for individuals. Everything counts toward income, including payouts from 401(k) plans, pensions, Social Security, and help from family members. Medicare
Jim Miller THE SAVVY SENIOR also allows states to impose an asset test, which can be as little as $7,080 per individual, not counting your house or car but counting retirement savings and bank accounts. But some states have made their MSP programs a lot more generous, with much higher income limits and in some cases no asset tests at all. And the program may be called something else in your state. To find out if you qualify or to apply, contact your local Medicaid office — call 800-633-4227 for contact information. Medication assistance For help with your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, there is another completely separate program called Extra Help. To get it, you’ll need to apply through your local Social Security office. Depending on exactly how low your income is, the program will pay all or part of your Part D prescription drug plan premium and deductible, a hefty chunk of your copay, and totally eliminate the doughnut hole coverage gap. In 2013, individuals with an income below $1,436 a month, and assets
under $13,300 can qualify for Extra Help. If you’re eligible to be in a Medicare Savings Program, you will automatically qualify for Extra Help. But because the requirements are slightly different, even if you don’t qualify for a Medicare Savings Program for Part B you might be able to get Extra Help for Part D. For more information or to apply, call Social Security at 800-772-1213 or visit socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp. Get help To help you find out if you’re eligible for these programs, use the National Council on Aging Web-based tool at benefitscheckup. org. You’ll need to fill out an online questionnaire that asks things like your date of birth, ZIP code, expenses, income, assets and a few other things. Once completed you’ll get a report detailing which programs you may qualify for, along with downloadable application forms and, in the case of Extra Help, allow you to complete your entire application online. The program even knows the specific MSP eligibility rules in your state. Or, if you don’t have Internet access, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), who provides free one-onone Medicare counseling in person or over the phone. To locate your local SHIP, call the eldercare locator at 800-677-1116. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC “Today” show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING SUMMARY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1
BY EMILY SORENSEN
school roughly five miles away. Since then, according to Duncan, the district has done nothing to accommodate these displaced students, including refusing to put portable classrooms on the premises of Willow Grove for the students. She also said that the district declined to provide free transportation for the students being sent to Adobe Bluffs, which starts an hour earlier than Willow Grove and requires driving, unlike Willow Grove, which is within walking distance for many of the displaced families. Duncan said she and other parents even called the company that rents relocatable classrooms to the district, and were given a quote of $27,000 for two units for the year. “But you say you can’t afford it?” said Duncan during her 10-minute speech, during the public comments section of the board meeting. Collins disputed this, saying that it would take “six months and way more than $27,000” to put in portable classrooms for the kindergartners at Willow Grove, due to needed wiring for electricity, Internet and more. “It’s not about money, it’s about time,” said Collins. Duncan also said that the district used a first-come, first-serve basis to enter students into Willow Grove’s kindergarten, and also broke rules for enrolling students in transitional kindergarten by allowing students born earlier than the September-to-November restriction, as well as allowing in students whose older siblings had already moved on to middle school over those without alumni siblings. “I’m paying into Willow Grove [through Mello Roos], my child should be allowed to go to Willow Grove, and not segregated out of the school because she’s the oldest in her family,” said Duncan. Duncan wasn’t alone in referencing the recent inewsource article on possible mishandling of CFD funds by the district
(see Page A6 for the full article and a response from the district). Duncan accused the district of shifting the displaced students to Adobe Bluffs in order to filter the Willow Grove CFD funds to be used at other schools, and for themselves, referencing an expensive cafe sign at the district office, and numerous luncheons the district held. “You’re constantly taking and now you’re taking our community too,” said Duncan. “We want to go back to Willow Grove,” said Duncan. “You had all summer and you did nothing.” Duncan said that Adobe Bluffs was not equitable to Willow Grove in terms of programs and education offered, and that their children deserved better from the district. “The district forgets that they work for us, rather than themselves,” said Duncan. Another hot topic brought up by numerous parents was the lack of a middle school in the area, and the perceived inadequacy of Black Mountain Middle School, where Willow Grove students are zoned to attend. Multiple parents said that Black Mountain was inadequate, and many of their neighbors were choosing to send their middle-schoolers to private schools, rather than sending them to Black Mountain. They asked that a middle school be built in the Santaluz area, or that their children be allowed to attend Oak Valley Middle School, or the new Design 39 Campus in Del Sur, once it opens. In response to some of her fellow parents’ comments, Duncan said that she doesn’t think the quality of education is bad at Black Mountain Middle School, or that the demographic of students is bad. “Some people made comments about demographics, but that’s not most of us,” said Duncan. Collins responded by saying there was “a lot of misinformation tonight,” and that no matter what, the district couldn’t
change the number of kindergarten seats available at Willow Grove by Wednesday, Aug. 21, when the new school year begins. Collins also said that paying Mello Roos taxes only guarantees your student a seat at a Poway Unified School district school, and not a specific school like Willow Grove, and that this fact should have been disclosed to them by the Realtor when they purchased their home within a CFD. Collins also said that he took exception to the insinuation that Adobe Bluffs was an inferior school. “I’m sorry that you were sold a bill of goods that said your child would attend a specific school, but that is not accurate,” said Collins. Collins also sharply rebuked the accusation that he thought that the Willow Grove students “weren’t worth it” to put in portable classrooms, which was made referencing a quote from the inewsource article. “I take great offense at the thought that any student is not worth it,” said Collins, “and to suggest that anyone at this dais thinks so is reprehensible.” Board president Marc Davis said he understood why the parents were angry, and they “fully had the right to vent.” Davis said that Willow Grove had a “massive baby bump” this year, and that the district couldn’t plan for that. “We hope that next year [the district] can get kids back to Willow Grove, and will have the space for them,” said Davis. Duncan said that the district’s response was “not good enough.” “They’ve known about the problem for four years, and they’ve done nothing,” said Duncan. “It’s always, I hope I hope, yet they keep spending money. They should have said they were going to find a way, now, to return all the students to Willow Grove. If not, then they need to provide equitable schools. Free transportation would also be good.”
The PUSD board on Monday voted on a change to the financing of Design 39 Campus, the new K-8 school currently being built in Del Sur, to open in the 2014-15 school year. The new financial plan, which was voted in unanimously, would switch the obligated repayment source from the general fund to un-allocated Community Facilities District (CFD) annual special taxes from CFDs 2, 4, 8B, 10, 12, 13 and 14. The permanent repayment source will remain from the CFD 15, East Del Sur, special tax reserves. Once CFD 15 is built out and generating enough special tax reserves to cover the debt, repayment will switch away from the other CFDs to CFD 15. The board also agreed to add a bond insurance policy from Build America Mutual, which will make it easier to sell the bonds, due to Build America Mutual’s AA Stable rating from Standard and Poor’s. The bond insurance will cost about $620,000. Due to an added surety policy, which means the district will not have to set aside $4 million for a bond reserve fund, this will not mean a significant increase in the bond’s total net debt service, which is $77.4 million. One last change was to change the amount of construction proceeds coming from CFD 15 to a full $31 million, up from $20 million previously. This will allow for the allocation of the needed number of seats for CFD 15 students, rather than the previous minimum needed, which would probably have required an additional bond and expansion in the future to accommodate students. The board also, after making some minor amendments for language clarification, approved a new board policy section on facility financing programs. This policy section, which the board has been discussing and working on for months, will provide instruction on how the board is to handle general obligation bonds, special tax bonds, lease revenue bonds and more, including rules for dealing with financial advisors and annual reviews of all outstanding capital facilities financing. Malliga Tholandi, associate superintendent of business support services, also gave a presentation on the district’s 2012-13 unaudited actual year-end closing financial report, that stated that, due to cuts made, the district ended with $345,487 more than projected in the unappropriated fund balance, and an ending balance of $44.8 million, about $4.5 million more than anticipated. Finally, the board approved the regular board meeting dates for 2014, which include a Tuesday meeting in January, on Jan. 21, and a Wednesday meeting on April 23, to accommodate board schedules. There is also a tentative special board meeting scheduled for Monday, March 10, with no information yet as to what it will be on.

was 2. Like most trips taken at that age, she doesn’t remember anything about it. But the 2012 Rancho Bernardo High graduate had the chance to revisit the country thanks to her talent in water polo and this time the trip will be engraved into her memory forever. “I got this big brown envelope sent to my house in Rancho Bernardo and I was ecstatic,” said the 19-year-old Sasson about the day she found out she made the USA women’s water polo team for the Maccabiah Games. “It is like that college thing and how you know a big envelope is good news. I started fundraising right away to get myself to Israel.” The Maccabiah Games is an international Jewish athletic event held in Israel every four
years. It is often referred to as the “Jewish Olympics.” It is open to Jewish athletes as well as Israeli athletes regardless of religion. This year the games were held in Jerusalem in July and it attracted over 9,000 athletes from 75 countries. It was the first year it included women’s water polo. Sasson said she was able to raise the money to make the trip thanks to family and friends. And what a trip it was. Sasson, who will be a sophomore at UCSD this year, helped lead Team USA to the Gold Medal. The attacker scored once in the championship game, as USA defeated Israel 14-6. But that wasn’t the only thing that made the trip special. Sasson, whose father is from Israel, got the opportunity to explore the country’s rich religious history. She had 10 days before the start of the water polo tourna-

It was a little less than a year ago when the Lake Hodges Bowls Club was close to shutting down due to a lack of funds and memberships. But the beautiful greens at Rancho Bernardo Community Park, where the lawn bowling club makes its home, inspired two women to try to keep it going. “The doors were going to be closed and ever ything was going to be liquidated,” said Georgie Deno, who took over as president of the Lake Hodges Bowls Club last October. “But Melanie Vizenor, (vice president of the club), and I took one look around the facility and there was no way we could let this club go. It is very nice. So she and I have taken on the path of trying to build the club back up.” The club currently has around 65 members, but only 21 of those pay full membership dues. Deno says it needs to have around 80 members to survive, which would help pay for the big expense of keeping up the greens. Deno and Vizenor, who are avid lawn bowlers themselves, put together all kinds of events to try to get people out bowling. They incorporate teambuilding events, bir thday parties and even bachelor and bachelorette parties. But See BOWLING, Page B4

WOMEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION’S PRESIDENT CUP
POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP
PREP SOFTBALL
RB’s Van Cott captures second straight cup title In a golf tournament made up of multiple matches spread over two weeks, it was Susan Van Cott of Rancho Bernardo who emerged as the champion of the Women’s Golf Association’s 2013 President’s Cup. This is the fourth time and the second year in a row that Van Cott has won the cup, which was played last Thursday at Bernardo Heights Country Club. Thirty-two women competed for the cup, with pairs of golfers playing a total of 32 individual 18-hole matches. In a match-play tournament like this one, the winner of the most holes in each match advances to the next round of play, and the loser is eliminated from the tournament. The golfers were divided into two flights consisting of 16 players each, and the winners of each flight played in a final match for the championship. Finishing second in a very close match was Jan Higley of Rancho Bernardo. The runners-up in each flight, Donna Gega of Rancho Penasquitos and Carol Packer of Rancho Bernardo, also played a close match for third place with Packer coming out on top. Bernardo Heights Countr y Club is the home course of approximately 350 golfing members, 100 social members and their families.

New playoff format now includes softball; PHS, RB in Open Division The newly created CIF San Diego Section playoff divisions based on competitiveness rather than enrollment numbers has made its way to softball. The playoff format, which features an eight-team Open Division, was implemented last spring with baseball and lacrosse. And now the new format has been of ficially put in place to include softball in the spring of 2014 as well as most of the other sports. Four of the six teams in the Palomar League are in the Open Division, which was created to have the eight best teams in the section play for the right to be called “Best in San Diego.” Rancho Bernardo, the de-
fending SDS Division II champions, and Poway are in the Open Division along with 2012 Division I runner-up Bonita Vista, 2012 Division I champion Torrey Pines, Carlsbad, West Hills, Westview and San Marcos. All eight teams are automatically into the Open Division playoffs no matter what they do this upcoming season. Teams are placed into their division based on a mathematical formula, which uses data from the past five years. The most recent years weigh more heavily than the earlier years. The formula includes teams’ ranking in the state, playoff appearances and opponents’ records. Del Norte will be in Division I along with Santana,

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Summer full of baseball flies by for Titans’ Dean BY MICHAEL BOWER Most teenagers spend their summers at the beach or hanging out with close friends around a swimming pool, letting the stresses of high school melt away in the sun here in San Diego. Kyle Dean’s summer is a little different. The Poway High junior has been to five different states and played over 70 baseball games, polishing and showing off his coveted talent to college and professional scouts. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound outfielder is also taking an advanced placement English class, which calls for plenty of reading and writing over the summer. That usually gets done in what has become his study area and often a place to catch up on sleep — the airplane. “It is tough when you play baseball eight hours a day and then have to do the school work,” said Dean, who verbally committed to USD as a sophomore. “But that is what the plane ride is for and I am doing what I love to do, which is play baseball.” Dean, who says he is looking for ward to seeing close friends he has missed all summer long with the start of the school year, had one of his busiest few weeks of summer recently. The right-handed hitter participated in his first Area Code Games in Long Beach — reserved for only the top prospects from around the country — from Aug. 5 - Aug.

He then flew out to North Carolina on Aug. 11 to participate in the Team USA 17U National Team Development Program. “I left the Area Code Games at about 5 p.m. and got home at 7:30 p.m. on that Saturday,” explained Dean, “and then I packed and left at about 4 a.m. and was on

the plane by around 6 in the morning on Sunday headed to North Carolina.” Dean powered through, though, shining at the Team USA 17U trials, going 4-for-10 and earning one of eight invitations to the 2014 Tournament of Stars, which is the primary selection vehicle for the Team USA
18U National Team Trials. Dean was also one of just three outfielders named to the 2014 All-National Team Development Program Team. The 12-player squad was selected based on per formance during the week-long intrasquad competitions, skill sessions and off-field seminars. For his efforts, Dean is the Pomerado News Athlete of the Week. “I had a great time because many of my 15U Team USA teammates from last year were out there,” Dean said. “Those guys are some of my best buds and it was like a reunion so that just made my trip right there.” Surprisingly, these past 12 months were the first time Dean has played baseball year around. He grew up competing in baseball, basketball, soccer and track. It wasn’t until June of 2012, when he was invited to tr yout for the 15U USA baseball team, that he decided to call it quits with soccer. “It is a lot of baseball, but it is what I do and what I love to do,” said Dean, who added he is planning to go into finance and law in the future if professional baseball doesn’t work out. “I want to play professionally one day and this is going to help me reach that goal.” The is true; and the good news for Dean is the beaches and swimming pools will always be there for his enjoyment in the future.

The only way he would have gotten a chance to bounce back is if Juhasz made the finals. “I just got caught in that match,” said Lara, who will wrestle for North Dakota State in college, “It was a rookie mistake. As soon as I walked off the mat, I thought about how I am going to have to live the rest of my life knowing I came here and wrestled one match for the United States and lost. But I know I have
a very cultural religious experience as well. It was the first time I got to see a place like that with so much history and the games felt exactly how I would imagine any Olympics would be like. I met a ton of people from all over the world.” Team USA went 4-0 during its championship run. Sasson could make the trip for the games again in four years, if she chooses to do so. But right now she is turning her attention to her college water polo career. “Last season was a big learning curve year for me,” she said. “This year I want to kind of relax and do what I am capable of and bring my confidence and build on top of what I already know. I always want to get better and hopefully I can build off this summer because I did learn a lot. I am excited to see how much I have grown.” Sasson said she plans to major in psychology, but has aspirations to work in some type of medical field one day. She earned a water polo scholarship to UCSD out of Rancho Bernardo High. CONTINUED FROM PAGE B1

to keep my head up and keep going.” Lara has Olympic aspirations. He hopes to be able to put back on the USA singlet for the 2016 games in Rio. He said making the jump from high school to Team USA was tough, but a huge honor. “Putting on the USA singlet is a lot different than putting on the high school singlet,” he said. “It is because you feel more important I guess, but you also have a lot of honor and pressure on you because you are representing the country.” Lara, 18, was the third youngest mem-
ber of Team USA. It was his first time wrestling internationally. “It was good to see the kids from other countries and their wrestling styles,” he said. “Here it is a lot slower and more about technique. There, it was a lot more aggressive and faster. It is crazy. It was really intense.” Lara plans to redshirt at North Dakota State this year and then wrestle a season before using an Olympic redshirt in 2016.

it has been tough drawing interest in the sport. “We are committed to try to pull the club out and make it healthy again,” Deno said. “We hope to be able to operate until the end of this year but it all depends on how many renew memberships, if we can continue.” A big chance — and maybe the last chance — at picking up more memberships and getting people out to experience the game will be on Saturday, when the Lake Hodges Bowls Club will be hosting the Southwest Division Men’s Novice Pairs Tournament at Rancho Bernardo Community Park. The tournament features men from throughout the Southwest Division — which includes about 30 clubs as far north as Santa Barbara — who have been playing bowls for less than two years. 4S Ranch resident Tod Friedman, who came in second place in the Southwest Division men’s novice singles championships, will be out gunning for a title. The tournament will begin at 9 a.m. and end around 4 p.m. People of all ages from the community are encouraged to check out the event. Deno said she will be more than happy to teach anyone with an interest about the game and how to play.

“We tell people this game is addictive,” she said. “One of the things about it is it never gets boring because every single bowl that is rolled can change who has the lead at any particular time. I am not an athletic person and I can do this. Just about anyone can do this. If you can bend over and roll a bowl, you can play this game.” Right now the youngest member of the club is around 50. The oldest member is 89. But kids as young as 12 can join and Deno is quick to point out that the current men’s national champion is only 18. A few years ago the national champion was in his 70s. “There is no advantage to being young, old, male or female so this is a great game,” she said. Lawn bowling is extremely popular outside of the United States. The object of the game is to get your bowl closer to the jack (a smaller white ball) than any other bowl. Bowls are not perfectly round so they do not follow a straight path. Instead, they curve.

Duane Roth dedicated his life to making San Diego a better place for everyone
R
ecently, I gathered with more than a thousand friends, colleagues, admirers and devoted family members to remember Duane Roth, who died Aug. 3 after suffering a traumatic head injury in a bicycling accident. He was 63. For many of San Diego’s finest citizens Duane was a well-known friend and peer. And so they gathered to remember and honor him at a memorial at the Church of the Immaculata on the campus of the University of San Diego. But more importantly, Duane touched the lives of all San Diegans. He loved the city, the region, its diverse and dynamic citizenry — and he resolutely, with tireless energy, dedicated his life to making it even better place for everyone. Duane arrived in San Diego in 1989 as head of Alliance Pharmaceutical, a merger of San Diego-based Fluoromed Pharmaceutical and Otisville Biopharm in southern New York. The combined company focused on developing new imaging agents and respiratory drugs, but Duane’s vision was greater and more ambitious. In 2004, he took over Connect, an enterprise created two decades earlier to bring together scientists at UC San Diego with entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who could help translate their ideas into reality. At the time, Connect had become somewhat moribund, its purpose and support imperiled. Duane soon infused Connect with his trademark enthusiasm and determination. His motto, he told the La Jolla Light in a 2009 interview, was “all things are hard before they are easy.” And so he broadened the scope of Connect, making its mission to promote innovation in all of its myriad forms throughout the region. I first met Duane when I assumed director-
Dr. Scott M. Lippman FRONTLINE: CANCER ship of the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center about a year-and-a-half ago. At the time, Duane was deeply involved in advocating Proposition 29, a tobacco tax initiative to fund cancer research. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, and lung cancer is the deadliest of all cancers, killing more people than all other cancers combined. Duane’s passion was characteristically intense and unfailing. He recognized more and better research (and its requisite funding) was needed to beat cancer. Prop. 29, alas, was narrowly rejected by voters — 50.3 percent to 49.7 percent, but Duane was undaunted. He was a champion of many causes. Among his greatest — and one of Duane’s most shining achievements — was his steady support and leadership in the creation and conduct of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the state’s on-going, pioneering $3 billion effort to develop stem cell-based therapies, remedies and cures for diseases ranging from Alzheimer’s to arthritis to cancer. Duane’s genius at finding connections and collaborations has helped make CIRM the thriving entity it is today, one that has already had a major clinical impact in cancer research and treatment with achievements like Catriona Jamieson’s CIRM-funded studies targeting cancer
stem cells — the elusive cells within a tumor that can self-renew and cause a cancer to spread or recur. Jamieson is an associate professor of medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine and director of stem cell research at Moores Cancer Center. Duane was an early and powerful proponent of her research, helping push it into phase 1 trials. Jamieson’s work is now in the final stages of development, on the cusp of becoming one of the first targeted stem cell-based therapies in cancer treatment. “Duane understood the sea-change that stem cell research would cause in our scientific pursuits and the practice of medicine. He was able to calm the waters as we moved forward. His devotion to helping people less fortunate than himself drove his tireless efforts as vice-chair of the governing body of CIRM,” Jamieson told me. “Patients with cancer and other degenerative disorders have lost a champion, but his effective positivity has been indelibly inscribed in the hearts and minds of those fortunate to watch him lead by example. We will strive to make sure the important initiatives he helped set in motion come to fruition.” One of those initiatives, one that Duane was working vigorously on before his untimely death, was to ensure San Diegans would be among the first to enjoy the fruits of local biomedical research. He had become increasingly frustrated that most new drugs developed here in labs at UC San Diego, The Scripps Research Institute, The Salk Institute, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and in dozens of local biotechs were being taken elsewhere to be tested in phase 1 clinical trials.
Duane saw no reason why San Diego should not be home to its own dedicated phase 1 clinic to test early stage cutting edge therapies. This was one of his passions for many years, and he had worked with the School of Medicine to develop the concept. Most recently, especially with the recruitment of cancer specialist Razelle Kurzrock, the idea gained momentum. He found willing allies in David Brenner, vice chancellor for health sciences and dean of the school of medicine at UC San Diego, and Gary S. Firestein, director of the Clinical and Translational Research Institute at UC San Diego, who agreed to fund development of a phase 1 unit here. This is a game-changer in San Diego — for scientists, for biotechs and, most importantly, for patients. In the near-future, Moores Cancer Center will have in place all of the necessary personnel, protocols and resources to conduct full-fledged phase 1 trials with local patients. We will not need to wait for others to achieve success first. Duane liked to say all things are hard before they are easy. It will be not be easy to forge ahead without Duane. It will be a hard road indeed. But speaking for myself, for physician-scientists like Catriona Jamieson, for Dr. Brenner and the thousands of people who have benefited in some way from Duane’s unstinting compassion and labor, we will push on. As Duane always did. Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears here the fourth Thursday of each month. You can reach him at mcc-dir-lippman@ucsd.edu.

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.

KIDS AT WORK - About 160 children of employees working at the Sony Electronics facility in Rancho Bernardo participated in the third annual Bring Your Kids to Work Day last week. The event was in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club, which facilitated some of the activities. After a day that included playing Sony Theme Pictionary, PlayStation 3 games and Name the Tune with a Sony music artist, they were treated to a special viewing of the “Smurfs” movie.
COUNTY OFFICIAL URGES ....
Don't opt out of smartphone Amber Alerts The first California Amber Alert broadcast to cell phones generated wide public attention and media coverage, and it may have contributed to the safe recovery of 16-year-old San Diego County kidnapping victim Hannah Anderson. Still, the Amber Alert itself confused, annoyed and even frightened some recipients. Concerned that problems with last week’s alert will prompt smartphone users to “opt out” from receiving Wireless Emergency Alerts, San Diego County Office of Emergency Services Director Holly Crawford joined state lawmakers for a news conference in Sacramento Monday urging the public to keep the alerts enabled. “I want to encourage everyone listening or watching: Do not opt out of this system; it could save your life,” Crawford said. Newer cell phones are capable of receiving Wireless Emergency Alerts, which are broadcast from cell towers to phones. Currently, the system is designated to carry Amber Alerts and emergency alerts, for example, a notice that people should evacuate due to fire or take shelter because of a toxic chemical release. “My biggest worr y is that people will opt out of everything, and when I need to send a particular emergency message to people so they can protect themselves, I’m not going to be able to reach them,” said Crawford. Crawford pointed out that the Wireless Emergency Alerts — or WEA — system, which the county helped pilot in 2010, has several features that make it a powerful tool in an emergency. “The reason this system is so special is people don’t have to take any particular action to opt-in,” Crawford said. “We’re able to reach tourists who are visiting San Diego. The system is incredibly valuable in getting the word out to people if they need to take action.” This year, local government agencies
were authorized to send wireless alerts; the County’s Office of Emergency Services will soon add the ability to issue them in a serious emergency or disaster in which people need to act quickly. Last week’s alert was initiated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Crawford said Wireless Emergency Alerts can target cell phones in a specific area, so, for example, if a nearby earthquake caused a tsunami wave, emergency managers could quickly get an alert to people on the coast telling them to move to higher ground. The WEA system is overseen by FEMA, the Federal Communications Commission, and the major wireless carriers. Crawford has said she will work with FEMA and the FCC to tr y to bring about improvements to the system such as expanding the number of characters in a message — it’s currently limited to 90 — and setting clear parameters for its appropriate use for Amber Alerts. Monday’s news conference was led by State Assembly Speaker John Perez. He said the Assembly would convene a special hearing in the fall to study ways the WEA system could be improved. He said initial public frustrations included receiving multiple messages, late night messages, messages that disappeared, and messages lacking information. “We want to work at making it a more and more nimble system,” Perez said. For example, Perez said, the system would ideally allow people to set Amber Alerts and emergency alerts differently, turning off Amber Alert sounds when they know they will be sleeping, but leaving the alerts enabled in case of late night emergencies. “We know the technology exists to make refinements,” Perez said.
