A number of gift drive programs in Poway, Rancho Bernardo and the surrounding areas are in full gear to deliver gifts to families in need this holiday season. More than ever, these programs and charities are needed to assist families who are affected by the hard economic

Season ofSharing LAST of three parts times. “Nowadays, ever yone knows someone who needs help,” said Kim Chevallier, chairwoman of the joint Poway Unified School District

BY STEVE DREYER It is time for the historic, disease-ravaged Kent Sycamore tree to be cut down, City Council members decided Tuesday night. The tree, believed by experts to be between 150 and 300 years old, has become a safety hazard, the council unanimously agreed. Located at the end of Outlook Road, off Midland Road, it was designated a Heritage Tree by the city in 2001. Although not easily seen by the public today, the tree is prominent in some of the earliest photos taken of Poway. Ownership is shared between the city and a property owner. “It’s the gem of our Heritage Tree Program” declared Dee Fleischman, member of the city’s tree committee until it was disbanded a year ago. Jim Thompson, a city-hired arborist, examined the tree in October and concluded it “has severe rot and has weakening cavities causing high failure portions in all four main trunk link attachments.” While a severe pruning might temporarily

— with food, mosquito nets, water filters and hygienic products,” she said. “The donation ceremony promoted awareness regarding mosquito-borne illness prevention and provided all attendees with methods for sanitation and hygienic upkeep.” Campbell said she requested a southeast Asia assignment because she wanted to go somewhere “completely different.” She has encountered challenges, like learning Khmer — Cambodia’s national language, and getting used to eating rice three times a day. “(Rice) can become monotonous, (but) I have learned to appreciate and value communal living and reveling in the little things that make each day beautiful,” she said. “My experience ... has been both challenging and gratifying. Being a part of my counterparts’ and students’ lives ... has allowed me to develop the kind of relationships that will resonate beyond my time in Cambodia.” Campbell said she is considering extending her assignment beyond next August. “Two years may sound like a lifetime to live in a foreign place, but Cambodia truly has become my second home and I can’t imagine leaving in a short nine months.” As for being life-changing, she said, “I have come to understand and appreciate humility and perseverance ... I am grateful for the days that are difficult, frustrating and filled with uncertainty. These are the moments that I remind myself to be humble, to know that it is OK to fail and that having the ability to persevere is the true testament to one’s character.”

RB grad a Peace Corps volunteer in Cambodia BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Helping Cambodian flood victims and teaching teens English are a few tasks Jane Campbell has been doing since beginning her two-year stint in the Peace Corps. “I joined Peace Corps because I wanted to live abroad and share my knowledge and skills with those in need,” Campbell said. “Peace Corps has a wonderful philosophy that promotes both personal and communal growth through cross-cultural exchange and integration into one’s community. “I didn’t simply want to travel, rather I wanted to devote myself to a different culture and gain different perspectives,” she said. Campbell, daughter of Jim and Katie Campbell, lived her first 18 years in Rancho Bernardo. She graduated from RB High in 2003, earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from San Francisco State University in 2007 and worked as a child development counselor and behavior therapist for three years. While Campbell said she wants to earn a master’s degree in counseling psychology, the 26-year-old delayed graduate school so she could spend a couple years helping others. “My time as a Peace Corps volunteer has given me the ability to redefine and shine light on my passion for working

Since arriving in Cambodia in July 2010, Campbell has been a youth development adviser and English teacher for high school juniors and seniors. “When not in the classroom, I spend my time promoting youth volunteerism through workshops and clubs, as well as leading a series of extracurricular activities ranging from art projects and team-building activities to gardening and coaching 10th grade basketball,” she said. Last October, Campbell initiated a partnership with Action for Development, a local non-governmental organization, to help families affected by floods earlier this year. “Over $2,500 was donated through online fundraising and supported 103 families — approximately 415 individuals

PNEC launches social network BY PAT KUMPAN The Poway Neighborhood Emergency Corps has launched the use of a private, social network to foster neighbor-to-neighbor and citywide communication. PNEC was recently established as a nonprofit to keep the community’s 60 neighborhoods in touch with one another should disaster strike, according to Merrilee Boyack, one of the group’s organizers. Poway residents, homeowners, renters and apartment dwellers, can use Nextdoor (www. nextdoor.com) to learn about their neighbors, post messages, or ask questions about what to do when a fire or other disaster strikes. There are no fees and all the information is kept confidential, said Kelsey Grady, Nextdoor’s communications manager. “In some cities, people tell us it’s the first time they’ve gotten to know their neighbors,” Grady said. “It brings back that sense of community to their neighborhood.” An estimated 540 Nextdoor sites exist in 40 states throughout the country, Grady said. Designers of the Nextdoor network, which got its start in San Francisco, are working at developing it further, improving it as they receive feedback from users, she added. “It’s a perfect tool for us to use,” said Boyack. “It will make our neighborhoods stronger,

so we can work together and communicate more directly.” When, and if, an emergency develops, the network would be a primary way for neighbors to keep in touch with one another, know about evacuation plans, which roads will be closed and also have access to city updates. Boyack said the network is “absolutely secure” and versatile because it will allow people to share information, such as special resources to all residents and offer the ability to text message in an emergency. On another level, network access will allow residents to post details about a lost pet, a missing child, or give referrals about a good babysitter, Boyack added. All participants must verify who they are and what neighborhood they live in, according to Boyack. The City of Poway will also be participating with a page of updates regarding current emergencies, such as fires or other disasters, road closures or other pertinent details. Poway officials, however, will not have access to residents’ personal information, Boyack said. Those interested in joining their neighborhood website can go to www.nextdoor.com and enter their address. For more information, go to powaynec.com, or email Boyack at maboyack@gmail.com.

Robotics team to face competitors Saturday BY PAT KUMPAN The Poway High School Robotics Club is gearing up for a huge VEX competition, which is attracting 42 California teams. The event is set for 9 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 in the Titan gymnasium and is free, open to the public, said teacher Rodger Dohm. The VEX Robotics Design Systems produce small, box-like robots that come in kits with several design possibilities, allowing the ingenuity of students to create what they want, he said. “I’ve been working with remote control devices since I was 9,” said student Tristan Brigman. “I’ve been building things forever.” He and others also enjoy the challenge of being on a team so they can compete with others in a “field” which is a low, portable self-contained arena. The contests vary, such as robot operators being tasked with scooping up balls, which need to be put into baskets (much like basketball) and other moves. Such competitions also mean that teammates often have to troubleshoot when a robot does not work properly.

Quick thinking can get a team and its robot back in the game, said Brigman. Nicole Slagle, a senior, said building robots is the perfect balance of fun and challenge. During last week’s club meeting, she was designing her second VEX robot, getting ready to test it before the December competition.

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Carolers, horse-drawn carriage rides, art, food, music, shopping and, of course, wine await locals at Bernardo Winery’s fourth annual Holiday Nights. The four-night event will be 4-8 p.m. Dec. 15 to 18 on the winery grounds, 13330 Paseo del Verano Norte, Rancho Bernardo. Admission and parking are free. Besides many shopping opportunities at the winery’s Village Shops and 15 artisans invited to sell their crafts, activities are free or have minimal cost, said Sam Pewitt, the winery’s marketing manager. For example, carriage rides through the vineyard are $3 per person. “It is really a family event ... (and) extremely kid friendly,” Pewitt said, explaining many parents ask if they can bring youngsters since they are going to a winery. While there will be hot mulled wine and other beverages for the 21 and older crowd at the tasting room, Pewitt said there will be many non-alcoholic drinks, such as hot cider and coffee available for purchase at the Sweet Pea Coffee Cottage. For dining options, attendees can chose between the Super Q barbecue truck and a special dinner menu at Café Merlot on all four nights. In addition, there will be two people present just for youngsters. Santa and

Mrs. Claus will listen to children’s holiday wishes from 5-7 p.m. each night on the tasting room patio. Pewitt said parents can bring their cameras to get a free memento of the visit or on Friday and Saturday night can purchase a photo of their child with Santa for $10 from Brant Bender Photography. Also entertaining children will be Petals the clown, who makes balloon animals and does face painting. Besides the nightly visits, children and their parents can attend brunch with Santa at 10 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 18. Cost is $30 for adults, $15 for children 3-12 years, and free for children 2 years and younger. Tickets need to be purchased in advance by calling 858-4871866 or going to the winery tasting room. The event will include a buffet by Café Merlot, performance by Hullabaloo, craft activities and animal encounters featuring creatures from Wild Wonders and the San Diego Zoo’s Winter Wonderland. As for Holiday Nights, Pewitt said those who want to avoid a large crowd should consider coming on Thursday, Dec. 15 or Sunday, Dec. 18 since in previous years attendance is typically lower on those nights.

GIMME A TAX BREAK

Last chance for 2011 tax PLanning Where has this year gone? It seems as if it were only

yesterday that we were wrapping up our 2010 tax returns. Now it is already time to make sure that our clients get all of those final 2011 tax deductions while there are still a few final weeks to go. Many of our clients already understand the importance of making those tax planning moves before the end of the year. Although there are many more tax strategies that can be deployed before year end, the basic moves revolve around accelerating or deferring income or expenses to the year that is most advantageous for you. Below are a few of the more basic moves that can be done to minimize your taxes in 2011. Income Deferral Strategies • Ask your employer to pay out any bonuses in January 2012 instead of in December 2011. • Hold off on selling stocks and other investments with taxable gains until next year. • Hold off on taking distributions from an IRA or other retirement account until January. Income Acceleration Strategies • Ask your employer to pay out bonuses in 2011 instead of next year. • Sell off stocks and other investments with taxable gains in 2011 instead of next year to absorb capital loss carryovers or to lock-in gains at the 15% rate. • Accelerate IRA distributions in 2011 and 2012 to avoid potentially higher tax rates starting in 2013. • Convert pre-tax retirement savings to a Roth account to lock-in a known tax liability. Deduction Acceleration Strategies • Pay tax deductible expenses in 2011 instead of 2012, such as medical bills, charity donations and property tax. • Sell off stocks and other investments that have lost value so you can take the losses on your 2011 return. • Increase your 401(k) or IRA contributions. Deduction Deferral Strategies • Defer paying medical bills, charity donations, property tax and other deductions until next year. • Consider funding a Roth IRA instead of a tax-deductible traditional IRA. By forgoing the deduction, you’ll be locking in a known tax rate on your contribution in return for tax-free investment returns. Don R. Copeland, CPA

ercises incorporate a neutral spine position so there is no stress on the back. “It’s really evolving to be one of the safest, most ef fective workouts,” said Stephanie Firenze, master instructor and owner of the 2,400-square-foot RB studio, noting that clients typically see results and report feeling stronger after a few classes. “A lot of exercises are ones used by physical therapists, and everything is orthopedically correct and safe,” she added. Each one-hour class works ever y muscle group — including areas such as the abdominals, thighs, hips, seat — with repeated, isometric contractions. The workouts are great for those with back or knee issues, and it’s also a safe option for pregnant women, including pre- and post-natal, said Firenze. That doesn’t mean though that it’s not a challenging workout, she added. “It’s not easy because it’s ‘no impact.’ A lot of customers are really surprised,” said Firenze, a former corporate banker who fell in love with The Dailey Method workout in the Bay Area and moved to Poway six months ago. She opened the RB studio

The Dailey Method studio in Rancho Bernardo features four instructors teaching morning and afternoon classes. The classes, which are open to males and females but consist mainly of women, hold up to 24 people. As instructors adjust clients to do exercise moves in a safe and effective manner, the group classes uniquely offer individualized attention, and all work at their own pace depending on their fitness level, Firenze said. “You get one-on-one attention in a group environment,” she said. New clients can tr y The

Dailey Method with a current offer of one week of unlimited classes for $8 or one month of unlimited classes for $100. There’s also a “founding members special” where the first 50 clients to enroll in membership with the studio — there are presently fewer than 20 spots left — can lock in a monthly $125 rate that includes unlimited classes, free childcare, and 15 percent off fitness retail clothing and items sold at the studio. The regular rate for an individual class is $20, and there are also discounted class packs and other spe-

cials available. On-site childcare is offered during weekday morning classes for $5 for the first kid (and $3 for each additional one). “It’s really for that busy career-oriented mom or a soccer mom,” said Firenze. In the spirit of the holiday season, the RB fitness studio is of fering donation classes Sunday Dec. 18 at 3 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. Guests may bring a new, unwrapped toy or monetary donation, and 100 percent of donations will benefit Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary. The event also includes food and drink, shopping with local vendors and free childcare with storytelling to the kids. There will also be a drawing for a gift bag filled with goods from local vendors. The RB studio is the second The Dailey Method studio to open in San Diego County, and a third one is slated to open downtown next year. The Dailey Method was started by exercise guru Jill Dailey McIntosh in the San Francisco Bay Area. There are currently over 30 studios in five states, Canada and France. Contact The Dailey Method at 858-433-0377.

Consumers have long memories Repeat after me: Polite Means Profits. This reality was driven home last weekend as my family organized our next project. To complete it we plan to hire a specialized service provider, and a Poway company’s perfect for our needs. They’re reasonably priced and convenient. I’ll NEVER hire them. Some background’s in order. Three years ago this company contacted my marketing agency to discuss working together. We met at their office, talked for two hours, and I gave them lots of free advice. Then I organized a team to develop a program that suited their needs, budget and timeline, and hand-delivered a proposal. My follow-up phone calls and emails were ignored. The company’s president never even acknowledged the proposal. Even by New York standards this is rude. Understanding that sales is a numbers game, we moved on. My would-be client either swiped our ideas or chose someone else to work with. So it goes, right?

Rob Weinberg ASK MR. MARKETING Today I’m the potential customer and remember they treated me shabbily. So I’m going to buy from someone else, even if it costs a little more or isn’t as convenient. And nothing that this company ever does will coax any business from me. They’ve lost me forever. With the holidays now firmly in place, it’s a good time to examine your company’s practices to see if you’re messing up future opportunities. Are you being polite, professional, responsible, and maximizing every source of direct and/ or referred business? Around our place we try to treat everyone politely and respectfully. This

might explain why we’ve seen business referred by the likes of our spa guy, postal carrier, landscaper and mechanic. And regular readers know my philosophy is “It costs nothing to be nice.” Thanks for that, Mom. That’s why I return every call within 24 hours, even if it’s to say “we can’t work with you.” Here’s the bottom line: being nice makes you pleasant to be around AND multiplies reasons to work with you. Moving forward, I believe society’s decreasing communications skills are increasing general rudeness. Assuming I’m right, you’ll improve your chances for future business by being polite and respectful. After all, it’s not just on Facebook where your actions will live forever. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Mr. Marketing can help overcome any communications challenge you have. Sign up for his free monthly newsletter at www.askmrmarketing.com.

VIEWPOINT

There’s no need to reinvent the education reform wheel By Kimberley Beatty Our system of education is antiquated and dysfunctional. The business community should fund internships for our students. So declare San Diego City Council President Tony Young and Assembly Member Nathan Fletcher after their seven-month education listening tour. Fletcher further added that he will work to build 21st century schools, promote career technical education (CTE), reform education budgets and reform curriculum testing. Gee, why does that all sound so familiar? Perhaps because in 2007 the Governor’s Committee on Education Excellence compiled a 44-page proposal for bold, coherent, systemic reform of structures in our education system, including governance, finance, teachers and administrators. The report was the culmination of two years wor th of over 20 independent studies known as “Getting Down to Facts.” The report concluded that its implementation would require “uncommon courage” from our political leaders in the state Legislature, the predominant source of education funding in California. “Uncommon courage” has proven nonexistent among our legislative representatives. All 28 Republican Assembly members, including Nathan Fletcher, have signed and abided by the Grover Norquist anti-tax pledge and almost all Republican state senators have signed the pledge, creating gridlock in our state capital that has led to Faustian bargains and draconian cuts to education and other ser vices to children and families. The 2007 repor t also stated, “Everyone professes to put

students first. But collectively, the results suggest otherwise.” Instead of reinventing the wheel, I would recommend that Young and Fletcher contact local retired state Sen. Dede Alpert, who served as vice chair of the Governor’s Committee on Education Excellence. With regard to 21st centur y education and CTE, I’d like to refer both representatives to AB 2648 — Multiple Pathways to Student Success, an assembly bill signed into law January 2009. This bill, sponsored by former Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, integrates core curriculum, career technical, work-based learning, and student support services. With regard to reforming curriculum testing, perhaps Fletcher and Young are not aware of the newly adopted Common Core Standards, a 48-state nationwide effort to overhaul and streamline curriculums that emphasizes students’ ability to analyze and apply knowledge, and will include midyear performance-based testing. All of these reforms are gathering dust or will be delayed due to our state legislators’ unwillingness to appropriate the necessary funding for education. Speaking of which, it seems disingenuous that Fletcher is claiming to support a quality public education when he has voted against extending revenues for schools, voted against a nonbinding resolution to bring education funding up to or beyond the national average, “and to a level that accounts for the actual cost of educating California’s students,” and even voted against giving school children access to drinking water during mealtimes. Beatty, a Sabre Springs resident, is the Palomar PTA Council’s vice president for legislation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

No place for politics I am very upset by the disrespectful actions of Councilman Dave Grosch and his term limits committee for choosing Poway’s Veterans Day celebration as the forum for the advancement of his political agenda. On Nov. 11, Mr. Grosch’s committee members were walking around the “Wall of Honor” during speeches soliciting signatures from servicemen and their friends and family in support of Mr. Grosch’s term limit proposal. The Poway Veterans Park is not a political forum for any group, but is hallowed ground for all veterans past, present and future. I apologize to all who were offended by this rude act.

D.C. Stonecipher President Poway Veterans Park Committee

A pedestrian’s perspective My doctor says that walking daily is very good for our health and recommended I start walking. I’m not sure, however, that she meant my heart rate would increase from dodging vehicles. In the past month, I have been “bumped” twice by cars, almost run down three times by 20-somethings riding their bikes on the sidewalk, and have jumped out of the way numerous times when I had the “walk” signal as I carefully watched those vehicles I believed were stopped in front of my path. What I have learned is that the “walk” signal means nothing. The “No Turn on Red” sign at the top of Ted Williams Parkway means nothing. The red light at Silverset apparently means, “keep rolling.” Every other car has a driver yakking away on their cell phone. Texting? Oh, yes….that is most effective when you text with one hand and eat a burger with the other. Yelling at your kids in the back seat while turning all the way around facing them (as I am walking in front of your SUV) is not in the California Driver’s Manual, I’m sure. And, my personal favorite? When I have the light to walk and you are approaching me from the opposite

direction, and not using your signal, I do not know that you intend to turn right in front of me. And by the way, giving me the international single-finger symbol for “have a nice day” is not helpful either. If I were a cat, my lives would be up. Any advice for me?

Sandberg fights the good fight My brother-in-law is far more adept than I at rising above the fray. Over Thanksgiving vacation, after discussing a heated political exchange I had earlier in the year, I asked him how he stayed so cool. “You cannot use reason to change someone’s position that they did not use reason to get to in the first place,” he replied. Reading the “He Said/She Said” columns that week, specifically regarding the Iraq war, I could not stop thinking of the idiom my brother-in-law smartly revived. Dick Lyles, per usual, expressed a position he clearly first held, and only secondly searched to justify. And per usual, Amy Sandberg, bless her, tirelessly brought reason and good sense to the debate. In the wake of Thanksgiving, I write to say thank you to Amy for fighting the good fight, even if winning against the likes of Lyles was never a possibility. Even still, the empathy and insight articulated in her columns this past year certainly reaches a number of us. It seems that sometimes we must be cool; sometimes we must fight. Together, especially as we see momentum around the country shift again in these trying and defining times, we can at least hope that reason and good sense ultimately prevail over blind ideology.

Perspective missing in reactions to RB coach’s firing When it comes to sports, I have street creds. I follow baseball, football, hockey, boxing, basketball, and horse racing. I played varsity volleyball and softball in high school, and intramural soccer and basketball in college. Most impressively, I can explain an infield fly rule and Tampa-2 defense to anyone who cares. So in terms of liking sports, I get it. What I don’t get is those who are so obsessed with sports it makes them hostile, and in extreme cases, blinds them to injustice. You want to paint team colors on your chest? Go for it! You want to spend your day off golfing? Go for it! But please don’t shout expletives from the bleachers at the opposing team’s left fielder. Please don’t set fire to overturned cars when your team doesn’t win the Stanley Cup. Please don’t smack your wife around when your team didn’t cover the spread. And please, dear God, do not ignore an instance of child rape when your program’s reputation is at stake. I’ll never forget several years ago watching a group of dads standing around a baseball batting cage. They debated the likelihood of each hitter making a varsity high school team, as if that would be the boy’s (or dad’s?) crowning achievement in life. They also ridiculed the average players, speaking in hushed tones about how unworthy they were — as ballplayers, I presume. My son was so

Amy Sandberg AU CONTRAIRE unworthy, they didn’t even bother to ridicule him. What they couldn’t have known was Stuart being in that batter’s box at all was a huge achievement. He was born with a birth defect that resulted in his motor skills and size being far below average for his age. As I looked on, I was unspeakably grateful that he was able to participate in normal childhood activities at all. Last week, it was announced that Sam Blalock had been dismissed as the Rancho Bernardo High School baseball coach. I’d heard about RBHS’ program. I had even followed the team the past few seasons because Brandon Berry had been a friend of my boys and I was happy for his success. When I read comments posted below a story about Blalock on pomeradonews.com, I was reminded of the incident around the batting cage. Without knowing the facts about why he was dismissed or who even dismissed him, supporters of Blalock were outraged, some even blaming his dismissal to the Occupy Wall Street movement! While I can understand how disappointed the players in the pro-

gram may be, and even parents who’ve appreciated the positive influence baseball and Mr. Blalock have had on their children, there’s some over-reacting going on here. I offer a little perspective, which involves a confession. It was obvious from early on that Stuart was never going to light up a scoreboard. He was/is, however, very intelligent. I thought of him as Ivy League material, much like the dads at the batting cage thought of their sons as varsity material. Then, something not-so-funny happened on the way to the Forum. Stuart was diagnosed with a brain malformation. He had brain surgery on his 16th birthday which was unsuccessful, and so needed more surgery. He missed so much school that his counselor said it was unlikely he would graduate, and he’d need to settle for a GED. Stuart’s illness forced me to give up visions of academic grandeur, and forced me to stop living his life vicariously. But here’s the kicker: neither sacrifice took any effort. A GED seemed like a glorious option because if he earned one, it meant he was still alive. Baseball is a venerable sport, and by many accounts Mr. Blalock is a venerable coach. But, take it from me, it’s not the end when your dreams dissolve. Sometimes it’s the beginning of seeing the world with fresh eyes. Sandberg works in the book publishing industry.

Shouldering a higher level of responsibility It’s easy (and appropriate) to criticize the business executives who put self-serving interests and greed ahead of the common good. It’s also easy to criticize those politicians who base every decision on how it affects their next election. Likewise it’s not hard to find fault with unions and other special interest groups who subvert the service goals in their respective industry segments in order to produce personal gain for their members. The problem in discussing these problems is that we tend to address them as though they are the cause of society’s ills rather than symptoms of a much deeper and more troubling malady. The Penn State sex abuse scandal can serve as an apt metaphor for a problem that permeates our society. That problem is our culture’s norm of making self-serving choices without regard to the negative impact these decisions might have on others. Let me explain. The graduate assistant coach who witnessed a child rape in progress didn’t intervene. He could have at least asked if everything was OK. He waited until the next day and reported it to his boss, not the police. Coach Paterno reported it, but obviously with a lack of urgency because he didn’t follow up. Administrators right on up the line didn’t act. I don’t accept

Dick Lyles GET REAL the assertion that they were protecting the Penn State football program. A more logical explanation is that they didn’t want to risk their own jobs or careers. It was more self-preservation than it was program loyalty. Penn State janitors who witnessed and discussed a similar event in 2000 flatly stated that the reason they didn’t report that event was out of fear for losing their jobs. In 1998 abundant evidence was presented to the county district attorney, who decided not to bring charges. We’ll never know, but a likely scenario is that he felt the personal political risks might be too high for him personally to press charges. We could cite more examples, but a reasonable way to interpret all these decisions is that they were certainly more self-serving than they were a demonstration of caring and love for the victims, aged 7 to 15. Nor were the decisions made out of some patriotic loyalty to Penn State football. Many members of our society have shown they are willing

to take risks and regularly put their lives on the line for others. We see it every day among our troops, our police and fire fighters, and others who are paid to take these risks. Rarely today do we see ordinary citizens take even minor risks out of love, charity, and a commitment to serve others and the common good. There is a saying, “no greater love hath man than to lay down his life for another.” This kind of love, which was once a hallmark of our culture, is disappearing from society. The Penn State example demonstrated its absence from top to bottom, from people in every walk of life, including laborers, blue collar, white- and new-collar workers and professionals. For more than a decade, many knew about former coach Sandusky and through their inaction let his predation continue. If ordinary people can’t act appropriately in these horrific situations, how can we expect to find proper choices in the executive suite, political office, or among special interest groups? We all need to shoulder a higher level of responsibility to humankind. Only then can we expect the leaders who emerge from the masses to do the same. What would you have done? Really?

Heard & Not Seen You may think hearing aids are still clunky, embarrassing objects that shout to the world, “Hey everybody! Something’s wrong with me!” That’s about to change.

The Invisible In Canal (IIC) is virtually undetectable! Breaking News

At a recent gathering of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), scientists revealed a hearing aid microchip processor so small that it can fit inside a hearing aid shell custom formed to your ear canal to fit right next to the ear drum. It sits so deep in the canal that it ends where other hearing aids begin. And that makes it completely undetectable to anyone else. In fact, we like to say it’s “invisible.”

Packs a Punch

Despite its miniature size, the processor inside the “Invisible-In-Canal” hearing aid is so powerful it supports the most sophisticated advances in digital hearing technology to date. It is so fast, that it samples the listening environment 2,000 times per second and makes automatic adjustments to the sound it delivers to your ear. When someone is talking, it is designed to quiet the background noise in-between syllables and amplify the speaker’s voice so that you can clearly hear and understand the words.

No Whistling, Buzzing or Plugged-up Feeling

It also supports the undisputed world-leading feedback cancellation technology. This means the annoying whistling and buzzing your uncle’s old hearing aids used to make is a thing of the past. In addition, the positioning of the hearing aid beyond the second bend in the ear canal is meant to work with the ear’s natural acoustics to deliver more precise and natural sound—and resolve that pluggedup or head-in-a-barrel sensation (a complaint of many hearing aid wearers).

Are You Missing Too Much?

You’ve worked hard all your life. It’s time to be reaping some of that reward. Don’t let your hearing loss rob you of the things you enjoy most in life: the relationships with your friends and family. You can get help now without suffering the stigma of yesterday’s hearing aids.

AccuQuest Hearing Centers

gone up in recent years,” said Chevallier. Adopt-a-Family works by having a staff person at each PUSD school who identifies needy families, and has them submit a wishlist, often consisting of shoes, clothing, household items and a few toys to Chevallier and her team. From there, “Adopt-a-Family” seeks out community members to adopt a family to fulfill their wishlist. In addition, grocery and gas gift cards, as well as gift cards to stores like WalMart or Target, are gifted to the families to lighten their financial burden. Even if someone is unable to afford to adopt a family, they can still contribute by donating grocer y and gas gift cards, which can be used to cover any families left over. “Sometimes, donors run out of money before the end,” said Chevallier. Thanks to the support of the community, Chevallier and Adopt-a-Family managed to get ever y family’s wishlist fulfilled, and they hope to do the same this year. Adopt-aFamily’s deadline this year is Monday, Dec. 12. Those interested in adopting a family, or donating much-need gift cards should call Kim Chevallier at 858-414-6809 for information. A similar program is held by the Friends & Family Community Connection. “We were approached by school counselors and others in the community to assist local families in need for the holidays,” said Becky Palenske, director of family suppor t at FFCC. The FFCC program also has donors filling the wishlists of families in need, as well as grocery, gas and Wal-Mart or Target gift cards. Unwrapped presents are given to the adults in the family, which allow them to decide how to present the gifts to their children. Though similar to the Adopt-a-Family program, FFCC is careful to make sure there is no overlap. “We make sure there are no duplicate referrals,” said Palenske. In addition to having community members adopt families, the FFCC is holding a fundraiser with Poway restaurant Kaminski’s through Sunday, Dec. 18. Customers can bring in a grocer y or gas gift card, or a check made out to FFCC, and will receive a

The deadline to adopt a family or donate gifts to FFCC is Thursday, Dec. 15, and those interested can contact Becky Palenske at 858-538-2492 or at bpalenske@san.rr.com.

Just six days after Sam Blalock was told he was fired by Rancho Bernardo High principal Paul Robinson, the legendary coach confirmed Tuesday evening he is back as the Broncos baseball coach. Blalock met with Poway Unified School District Superintendent John Collins, Principal Robinson and Athletic Director Peggy Brose Tuesday afternoon for a few hours to iron everything out. “We met and we talked and went over the stuff that

transpired and it was all a communication problem,” Blalock said. “It was a miscommunication, and I am back as coach. I won’t get into any details about it. That should probably come from the people that started it all.” Tuesday night, the PUSD issued a statement on the situation with comments from Robinson and Collins. The statement did not say why Blalock was fired in the first place. Read more about this on www.pomeradonews.com.

extend the tree’s life, its health will continue to decline, he said. Removal was recommended. “It’s a great-great-grandmother that has been under tremendous stress,” Thompson said. Fred Zuill, who owns one-third of the tree, could not convince the council to delay a decision while he had his own arborist check it out. His neighbors, Cynthia and John Gagliano, both argued for its immediate removal, saying that even a major pruning would still leave branches that could break off and injure people in their backyard. Councilmembers said that public safety was a paramount concern. “It’s magnificent, but it’s a hazard,” said Deputy Mayor Jim Cunningham. “I feel sorry for the tree. It’s a victim,” added Councilman Dave Grosch. Councilmembers said that pieces of the downed tree might be turned into items commemorating its long history, much like what was done when the famous Poway Oak was taken down in 2002. Fleischman, who spoke passionately Tuesday night in favor of proceeding with a pruning of the Kent Sycamore, said, “Frankly, it’s shameful what’s happened to this tree.” She said the tree was healthy nine years ago when it was placed on the “Heritage Tree” list. Since then, homes have been built in the immediate vicinity, leading her to suggest that their presence is connected with the tree’s decline

in health. In other matters, the council: • Held a 90-minute workshop on proposed changes to the city’s sign code. About a dozen people, including several business owners, spoke for and against some of the staff recommendations. Their comments, and those of the five councilmembers, will be factored into a final set of recommended changes to be presented to the council at a later date. • Appointed 24-year city resident Mark Weston as the city’s representative to the San Diego County Water Authority Board of Directors, replacing former City Manager Jim Bowersox, who resigned after 13 years on the board. Weston is general manager of the Helix Water District. • Approved a reimbursement agreement involving a new water system built by developers of The Heights subdivision providing water for the planned neighboring Highland Valley Ranch subdivision. Barbara Malone, owner of the Highland Valley Ranch property, and her attorney were unsuccessful in getting the council to delay approval of the agreement, saying she had not seen the proposal until a few days ago. City Engineer Steve Casey said a copy of the proposal had been sent to her in October and that her engineer had been in contact with the city soon after that. • Selected Cunningham to served a second, one-year term as deputy mayor.

Titans save best for last, capture section crown

The only thing separating Poway from a perfect season is a 17-17 tie to San Pasqual on Sept. 23, when the Titans were without starting quarterback Isaak and speedster tailback Evan Gray (injuries). At full strength, the Titans were untouchable, capturing the Palomar League title and blowing through the competition in the playoffs. Poway outscored its opponents 149-42 in its three playoff games. “For all of our dreams to come true and to win it all is amazing,” said junior defensive back Derek Babiash, who had a career-high three interceptions in the game and returned one of them 65-yards for a score. “It is great for the seniors because this is what they have been waiting for.” The championship was secured early on, as Poway made a strong case to be considered the No. 1-ranked team in the San Diego County. The Titans’ Jonathan Petersen recovered two fumbles and had an interception in the first 5 minutes, 43 seconds, and the Titans offense turned that into a 21-0 lead. Babiash had two interceptions and returned one 65 yards for a touchdown by halftime. “I saw the guy break on the out route and after that I knew I was going to jump it no

BY MICHAEL BOWER

A near-perfect season ended in the perfect way for the Poway High football team Monday night — raising the CIF San Diego Section Division I championship trophy for the first time since 2007. Poway High quarterback Gabriel Isaak tossed four touchdowns, as the Titans routed Vista in the CIF San Diego Section Division I championship game at Qualcomm Stadium. The top-seeded Titans captured their second section title in school history; forcing seven turnovers on the way to crushing No. 3 Vista 56-0 at Qualcomm Stadium in the SDS Division I title game. It was the first shutout of the season for the Titans, and the 56 points broke Carlsbad’s 2000 record (50) for the most points ever scored in a Division I championship game. It was also the biggest margin of victory in the 51-year history of the section. “It is an unbelievable feeling,” said Poway quarterback Gabriel Isaak, who threw for 135 yards and a season-high four touchdowns. “I will remember this for the rest of my life.” Poway (12-0-1) dismantled the defending SDS Division I champions like it has so many of its opponents this season, using a smoth-

Photo by Beverley Brooks ering defense and a quick-striking offense. The Titans had four interceptions and two fumble recoveries in the first half alone, turning them all into touchdowns to take a commanding 49-0 lead into halftime. “We came out fired up, and we knew this was the biggest game of our lives,” senior

defensive lineman Brian Guendling said. “We have been dreaming about this game for over a year. We know that defense wins championship, and we have a great offense that moves the ball well. We knew if we can get the offense the ball, we were going to win the ball game.”

Titans, Nighthawks strong again

Local teams confident at start of new season BY MICHAEL BOWER Poway High and Torrey Pines will likely fight it out for the Palomar League title this season, while Rancho Bernardo, Westview and the others battle for third place. The Titans return arguably the top player in the league in 6-foot-10 center Sam Beeler. The Broncos are small, but will look to cause havoc on defense to get some easy baskets. Del Norte finished tied for last place in the Valley League last season, but an added assistant coach and its first year with seniors should help the Nighthawks crawl out of cellar. Here is a closer look at each local team:

Poway

The Poway High girls basketball team lost leading scorer Katie Kuklok to graduation, but the Titans should be strong again this season. The Broncos have a new coach and are hoping to establish a new identity, while Del Norte will try to defend its coValley League championship. Here is a closer look at each local team:

Poway

ԎԎ COACH: Jay Trousdale, 25th year ԎԎ 2011 RECORD: 25-5 ԎԎ KEY PLAYERS: F, Jessica Larsen, Sr.; G/F, Alexa Burnansky, Sr.; F/G, Tiffany Tate, Sr.; F, Sam Jones, Jr.; PG, Mandy Castro, Jr. ԎԎ OUTLOOK: The Titans are coming off another banner season. Poway won its third straight Palomar League title and advanced to the CIF SDS Division I semifinals, where it fell to San Diego. Poway will have to find a way to replace last year’s leading scorer Katie Kuklok, who now plays at USC.

Del Norte High freshman Kayla Evans brings the ball up the court against Poway last week. Photo by Beverley Brooks Returning starters Larsen and Burnansky should help the Titans threaten to win their fourth straight league title. The two should be the top-scoring threats for Poway along with Tate and incoming point guard Castro. Larsen is a three-year varsity player, who provides plenty of experience and leadership.

“The girls have the expectation of challenging for the league title in a very tough league,” Trousdale said. “We also hope to be able to challenge for the Division I section title.” Poway’s last section crown came in 2008. The Titans hope to get out and get some easy baskets in transition, but also be able to get easy baskets in their half-court offense. The Titans are especially working on developing a smothering defense. “Defense always starts out as the No. 1 thing,” Trousdale said. “We plan on playing some good hard-nosed defense to help keep us in every game.”

ATHLETE OF WEEK

Gross a winner at every level for Titans BY MICHAEL BOWER

Poway High’s Alec Moreno, with the ball, scores a touchdown in the section title game Monday. Photo by Beverley Brooks matter what,” Babiash said about his 65-yard interception return for a score. “The ball came, and I wanted the ball in my hands. Right when I got it, I had my eyes on the end zone and kept on running.” The offense dazzled in the first half, too. Isaak hit seven of 10 passes and tossed three touchdowns before the break. He found Isaiah Gross twice for touchdowns – a 21-yarder and a 49-yarder. Isaak’s third touchdown toss of the first half went for 6 yards to Dillion McMahon. The Poway running game had no problems, either. Junior Nehemiah Gross had two first-half scores, a 4-yard burst and a 21-yard dash. Conor Flanagan also scored a touchdown on a 7-yard run in the first half. In all, it was quite the seasonending fireworks show the Titans put on for their fans on the biggest stage. “We knew this was it,” Guendling said. “For us seniors, it is the last time we will step foot on a high school football field. We knew that every play was our last play, and we came out with a shutout and that was our goal.”

The Poway High football team might as well have been playing in a fish tank this season. The defense called itself the “sharks,” and on the other side of the ball players referred to running back Nehemiah Gross as, “Nemo.” “I went over to (teammate) Ryan Sharpe’s house once, and his mom couldn’t say my name, so she asked if she can call me Nemo,” Gross said. “And the players have called me that since.” But there is much more to Gross, a junior, than his nickname. The 5-foot-9, 180-pound elusive tailback has thrived in the Poway High football program. Since his freshman year, the teams Gross has played for at Poway High have a record of 34-1-1. The lone loss in his career with the Titans’ football program came to El Camino his freshmen season. Gr oss has had some incredible per formances throughout his career, but he saved his most impres-

Gross r ushed for a career-high 212 yards and two touchdowns, including a 46-yarder and 68-yarder in the Titans’ 51-28 trouncing over San Pasqual. Gross’ 68-yard run was one of the most spectacular rushes of the season for Poway. He turned what looked to be a 7-yard gain into a touchdown by hurdling, spinning and powering through defenders on his way to the

end zone. “That was the most exciting run I ever had,” said Gross, after he praised his of fensive line (Tyler Kasl, Charlie Long, Tahj Haywood, Kyle Le Beau, Nick Verde and Ryan HallWarne) for the blocking they did all season long.

“Running it was dif ferent than watching it. I didn’t even realize what I did to get to the end zone until I watched it.” For his ef for t, Gross is the Richardson Buick athlete of the week. “How the offensive line played and having Evan Gray back meant a lot,” Gross said. “It really helped out the team. Without the offensive line opening up all the holes, I wouldn’t be able to have all those big runs.” Gross will be back next season as one of the senior leaders for the Titans. “It is going to be a big role to fill,” Gross said. “But I am looking forward to it.” Gross is also hoping to star t attracting attention from colleges. He hopes to play NCAA Division I football and one day end up in the NFL.

Rancho Bernardo

ԎԎ COACH: Jim Choe, 4th year ԎԎ 2011 RECORD: 18-12 ԎԎ KEY PLAYERS: G, Jake Arnell, Sr.; G, Michael Pierick, Sr.; F, Richie Orlins, Sr.; F, Shane Brown, Sr.; Bryan Zhu, Jr.; Sam Sanati, Sr. ԎԎ OUTLOOK: The Broncos graduated nine seniors from last year’s squad, which lost in the first round of the playoffs. Rancho Bernardo lacks height this season, so the Broncos will rely on the transition game and the play of their guards. The lone returning starter is Jake Arnell, who will make the transition from football to basketball. Arnell, Pierick, Orlins or Brown could be the leading scorer on any given night for Rancho Bernardo. “We have a pretty balanced team,” Choe said. “One day any of those guys can score six points and one day any of those guys can go for 20 or 25.” Rancho Bernardo, two years removed from a section title, hopes to create plenty of scoring opportunities with its defense. Choe has installed a new system to match his smaller lineup. “We are going to look to run the floor and create some chaos on defense,” he said. “It’s the old cliche that the best offense is having the best defense.”

Del Norte

ԎԎ COACH: Bob Spahn, 3rd year ԎԎ 2011 RECORD: 5-22

ԎԎ KEY PLAYERS: G/F, Tyler Evans, Sr.; G/F, Austin Clyde, Soph.; C, Alex Bulkin, Soph. ԎԎ OUTLOOK: The entire team from a year ago returns, and it will be the first season with seniors for the program. The Nighthawks will try to establish an identity early, as they are caught in between a running team and a slow-it-down team. The tallest player on the squad is 6-foot-4 center Alex Bulkin, so slowing it down might be tougher than an up-tempo style. “Right now, we are more of a defensive oriented team and we are trying to focus on that,” Spahn said. “We are still searching for an identity, but we hope to work on that during our preseason, especially in the tournaments.” Del Norte will look to Tyler Evans, the team’s leading scorer last year, and Austin Clyde to carr y the offense. The area the team might have improved the most in is the coaching department. Spahn has brought on former Rancho Bernardo coach Kevin Keller to help. Keller, a ver y defensive-minded coach, combined with three-year assistant Mark Basehore, a ver y offensive-minded coach, provides Del Norte with the guidance needed at both ends of the floor. “We really believe that this year, even though we have seniors, we are still young,” Spahn said. “We will have four sophomores on the varsity team. Our goal, and I believe what we are capable of doing, is to go .500 this year. We really believe that is an attainable and realistic goal.”

have no starters returning from last season and first-year coach Harris is hoping to turn the attitude around with a new group of girls. “We are looking to have fun building a competitive program,” he said. “Some of our girls have not had much consistency through their playing campaigns at RB in terms of players and coaches. They have been introduced to new coaches, new systems and different views. We are trying to establish a program that gets back to the fundamentals and reminds us we are all here because we love the game and camaraderie of team.” Potts figures to be the team’s most consistent scorer, while young players Rudkin and Cunningham should gain some valuable experience this season.

Del Norte

ԎԎ COACH: Jay McNeely, 3rd year ԎԎ 2011 RECORD: 13-13 ԎԎ KEY PLAYERS: F, Lexi Reddick, Jr.; G, Muniphe Green, Sr.; C, Caitlin Cole, Soph.; G, Monica Dutta, Jr.; G, Kaitlin Manuel, Jr. ԎԎ OUTLOOK: In their first year at the varsity level, the Nighthawks were co-champions of the Valley League with Valley Center and

advanced to the CIF SDS Division IV semifinals. Del Norte hopes to successfully defend its league title, but the team lost a handful of players for various reasons. Brooke Wertner (moved), Sierra Rhoades (injuries) and Katie Boyle (soccer) will not be on the team this year. Boyle and Wertner were both team captains last season, so coach McNeely will be looking for members of his squad to step up. “It is going to be a challenging year,” McNeely said. “But we still think we have enough that if we have some girls step up and play bigger roles, we should be able to compete for a league title.” Among those returning this season is Reddick. The star volleyball player was the team’s leading scorer and rebounder from last year. She averaged around 11 points and seven rebounds and was named to the Valley League first team. Cole ended up becoming the starting center by the end of the season last year and should provide an inside force for the Nighthawks. Del Norte will be challenged by Valley Center and Canyon Crest for the top spot in the Valley League.

realtor of the week

Longtime resident Dawn Colonna knows the region Born and raised in San Diego, Dawn Colonna of Prudential California Realty in Rancho Bernardo has seen the Poway and Rancho Bernardo area grow and change over the 31 years she has lived in Poway. “My familiarity with the character of the neighborhoods allows me to help clients find homes that meet their lifestyles,” Colonna said. “My job as a Realtor affords me the privilege to see some very beautiful homes, different architectures, interior designs, different neighborhoods and price ranges for homes and condos.” Using all that she has learned helps her help her clients visualize the potential of a home. “One of the most enjoyable aspects of my job is helping a family find the right house with practically everything they are looking for and negotiate the best price for the home,” she said. Colonna describes herself as a very much a people person, and as a Realtor she enjoys meeting many people from different backgrounds and cultures and finding out

what is important to them. “I have made great many friends and have enjoyed working with every one of my clients,” she said. Before becoming a Realtor, Colonna spent over 15 years as a business retail manager. She has been with Prudential California Realty for the past 11 years, specializing in working with buyers and sellers, and has won numerous awards since that time, including The President’s Circle, The Honor Society and The Leading Edge. “Our office is well established and has been serving the Rancho Bernardo, Poway and surrounding areas for many years,” Colonna said.

“One of the reasons I like Prudential is because I feel that they have one of the best marketing plans to help my clients sell their homes.” One question Colonna gets asked a lot is: Should I wait to buy or sell? It is a great time to buy and sell, she says. For buyers, conditions could not be better. Prices are relatively low and interest rates are at rock bottom affording more home than ever. For sellers looking to move up, low interest rates and lower prices make it easier to get that bigger house. For investors this is the opportune time to get started. There will always be those who try to “time the market” but where is the bottom, you only know for certain when it has passed. Owning a home has proven to be a solid financial decision and most people aspire to home ownership as a long-term goal. Colonna advises buyers to be diligent in their shopping but realize they won’t get everything they want. Her advice to sellers is to clean, repair and make small updates to their house before they put it on the market and

price it properly, which is crucial. “Buyers have many choices and are being very selective,” Colonna said. “Sell at what the market says your home is worth. The price will determine if your home languishes on the market or sells quickly for the most money. Don’t ever choose a Realtor simply because they promise to sell your house at a very high price.” Dawn Colonna can be reached at 858-663-1273.

MIDLAND AUCTION — Parents, teachers and guests raised an estimated $11,000 during the 3rd Annual Midland Elementary Foundation Auction Dec. 3 at the school gymnasium. The school’s educational foundation organized the event, which featured Eric Lehew, executive director of Learning Support Services for Poway Unified School District, as auctioneer. MEF President Mark McDonough said the school will use the funds for basic curriculum needs such as books for the library and workbooks for the classrooms, as well as other projects.

Leung, 12, looks forward to competing against other teens, considering each accomplishment a success. Pokemon might be “just a card game” to some, but not Leung, who politely says he surpasses his father, Lik Leung, in Pokemon expertise. “The game helps me improve my concentration during competition, but also in school,” Leung said. “There’s also lots of reading required to play the game.” Players build decks and then compete against each other to prove who the best “trainer” is. As they play the game, they augment their decks by adding more cards, creating a diverse deck of playing cards. “It’s all about strategy,” Leung said. According to his dad, the most important thing that his son has learned is that he must do well in school before we can play Pokemon. The advantages of playing the game, said his father, is that James has learned how to better communicate with other people with respect and exhibiting good sportsmanship. “He has learned how to think before he takes actions, doing better calculations in his mind,” Lik Leung said. He added, by playing the game, his son made a lot of friends of different ages — and they help each other with their strategies.

Sabre Springs church re-creates Bethlehem village BY PAT KUMPAN North City Presbyterian Church is transforming its sprawling Sabre Springs campus into the first-century village of Bethlehem next weekend. With all the sights, sounds and experiences that visitors might have encountered had they been there on the night of Christ’s birth, volunteers are recreating the nativity scene between 6-9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 16 and 17 at 11717 Poway Road. Admission is free. This is the 12th year of the event with dozens of church volunteers working for months to create this Christmas story, said volunteer Gary Burns. The focus of the event is the story about Christ’s birth, the reason for celebrating Christmas, he said.

“By watching the Nativity play, we hope that people will appreciate what happened so many years ago,” Burns added. Roman soldiers will register guests at Caesar’s census booth as they enter the village. Attractions include puppet shows, carnival games, craft-making and a petting corral with goats, ponies, chickens, pigs, rabbits and ducks. Children will have an opportunity to have their photo taken while riding on a llama. Guests of all ages can enjoy the carolers and a café with live music and free food. More than 1,000 guests are expected to attend this year. Many of whom repeatedly return year after year, Burns said. The church issues a special invitation to the public that reads “There is still ‘room in the inn’ for you.” To learn more about Bethlehem Village, call 858-748-4642 or go to www.northcitychurch.com.

In 2005 when an unannounced check on hypertension control rates was done, Dr. Nazarian was found to have the best hypertension control rate in north count y, with the third best rate in a department of over 140 physicians, and the most hypertension patients in RB. For every 20/10 points the blood pressure is elevated, the cardiovascular risk doubles. This prevented or postponed many heart attacks and strokes. He also had the most diabetic patients because of his extra knowledge about the disease. Dr. Nazarian is a graduate of the UCLA School of Medicine.

Assistance dogs can help those with limitations Dear Savvy Senior, Can assistance dogs help seniors with physical limitations? My mother, who’s 60, has progressive multiple sclerosis and I’m wondering if an assistance dog could help make her life a little easier. Dog Loving Linda Dear Linda, For people with disabilities and certain medical conditions, assistant dogs can be fantastic help, not to mention they provide great companionship and an invaluable sense of security. Here’s what you should know. Assistance dogs While most people are familiar with guide dogs that help people who are blind or visually impaired, there are also a variety of assistance dogs trained to help people with physical disabilities, hearing loss and various medical conditions. Unlike most pets, assistance dogs are highly trained canine specialists — usually golden and Labrador retrievers, and German shepherds – that know approximately 40 to 50 commands, and are amazingly well-behaved and calm. Here’s a breakdown of the different types of assistance dogs and what they can help with. • Service dogs: These dogs are specially trained to help people with physical disabilities due to multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, chronic arthritis and many other disabling conditions. They help by performing tasks their owner cannot do or has trouble doing, like carrying or retrieving items, picking up dropped items, opening and

Jim Miller THE SAVVY SENIOR closing doors, turning lights on and off, assisting with dressing and undressing, helping with balance, household chores and more. • Hearing dogs: For those who are deaf or hearing impaired, hearing dogs can alert their owner to specific sounds such as ringing telephones, doorbells, alarm clocks, microwave or oven timers, smoke alarms, approaching sirens, crying babies or when someone calls out their name. • Seizure alert and response dogs: For people with epilepsy or other seizure disorders, these dogs can recognize the signs that their owner is going to have a seizure, and provide them with advance warning, so he or she can get to a safe place or take medication to prevent the seizure or lessen its severity. They are also trained to retrieve medications and use a pre-programmed phone to call for help. These dogs can also be trained to help people with diabetes, panic attacks and various other conditions. Finding a dog If you’re interested in getting your mom a service dog, contact some assistance dog training agencies. To find

them, Assistance Dogs International provides a listing of around 75 U.S. training agencies on their website that you can access at assistancedogsinternational.org. After you locate a few, you’ll need to either visit their website or call them to find out the types of training dogs they offer, the areas they serve, if they have a waiting list, and what upfront costs will be involved. Many agencies offer dogs for free, and others may charge several thousand dollars. To get an assistance dog, your mom will need to show proof of her disability which her physician can provide, and she’ll have to complete an application and go through an interview process. She will also need to go and stay at the training facility for a week or two so she can get familiar with her dog and get training on how to handle it. It’s also important to understand that assistance dogs are not for everybody. They require time, money, and care that your mom or some other friend or family member must be able and willing to provide. Savvy Tip: For more information on assistance dogs, visit workinglikedogs.com, an educational website for people who are interested in getting an assistance dog. They also offer “Working Like Dogs: The Service Dog Guidebook” for $22. 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.

annual fitness test

PUSD students more physically fit than state, local counterparts BY PAT KUMPAN Poway Unified School District students outdistanced many of their San Diego County counterparts in the physical fitness results released Nov. 30 by state Schools Superintendent Tom Torlakson. The state’s latest physical fitness results indicate that more than half of San Diego County students who took the six-part test are considered healthy. Throughout the state, however, only 31 percent of California students in public schools passed all six categories: aerobic capacity, body composition, abdominal strength, trunkextension strength, upper body strength and flexibility. An estimated 66 percent of students throughout San Diego County scored well, except in one category — body composition, or body fat. In that category, PUSD students got a passing grade by scoring 69.6 percent of fifthgraders, 71.9 percent of seventh-graders and 72.8 percent of ninth-graders in the Healthy Fitness Zone. San Diego Unified did better than the state average with 55 percent of fifth-graders, 59 percent of seventh-graders and 63 percent of ninth-graders passing the body composition test. State averages in that category indicate high

health risks for 34 percent of fifth-graders, 30 percent of seventh-graders and 25 percent of ninth-graders. Some PUSD students scored as high risk in the body fat test, but at lower levels than San Diego Unified students. PUSD scores were: 18.9 percent for fifthgraders, 15.4 percent for seventh-graders and 14 percent for ninth-graders in body composition results While aerobic capacity is an indicator of physical fitness, body composition is perhaps the most important indicator of who will develop future health problems, according to the information released by State Schools Superintendent Tom Torlakson. Torlakson appeared Wednesday with Bill Walton, an NBA all-star, at Grossmont High School to kick off the “Team California for Healthy Kids” campaign. In a prepared statement, Torlakson said, “When only 31 percent of children are physically fit, that’s a public health challenge we can’t wait to address.” He added that the campaign will emphasize “helping kids make healthy choices, the easy choices, at school and beyond.” Athletes and others involved in the fitness campaign will be visiting schools throughout the state to encourage local efforts to increase physical activity and increase access to water, fresh fruits and vegetables.

‘STUFF THE BUS’ FOOD DRIVE ROLLS IN SATURDAY The Stuff the Bus annual food drive is this Saturday at three area Vons stores.

MTS will have buses from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the following area Vons locations: 11986 Bernardo Plaza, Rancho Bernardo; 13255

Black Mountain Road, Rancho Penasquitos; and 10675 Scripps Poway Parkway, Scripps Ranch. Suggested canned items are meat and tuna, soups, fruits and vegetables and beans. Also needed are peanut butter, pasta, dry cereal, rice, and mac and cheese. For more locations and information, visit www.sdmts.com.

CORRECTION Due to an editing error, a portion of Jeff Mangum’s “School Maze” column appearing last week created some confusion. The column should have read: “The number of factual errors and misinformation in your article is staggering. I would appreciate it if authors attempting to write about homeschooling would conduct some basic research first. For example, your claim that

‘there is simply no reliable data available to compare the academic performance of homeschooled students to public school students’ is incorrect. Dr. Lawrence R u d n e r ’ s 1 9 9 8 s t u d y, ‘Homeschooling Works,’ and Dr. Brian Ray’s ‘Progress Report 2009: Homeschool Academic Achievement and Demographics’ both clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of homeschooling over a public school education. — Amy

(commenting online.) (For the record, I was aware of both studies but considered them statistically flawed and unreliable.)

The Miss San Diego pageant will return to Poway on Sunday, Jan. 22, according to its director. The pageant is seeking talented women ages 13-24 to participate in a program that has been a San Diego tradition since the late 1920s and is a scholarship provider for young women. More than $4,000 in scholarships will be awarded as Miss San Diego 2012 and San Diego’s Outstanding Teen 2012 will be crowned. Pageant Director Kati Enea said, “We put on a fabulous show for the community and a huge part of that is because of the beautiful facility and great staff at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts.” The contestants will be scored on personal interview, talent, swimsuit (sportswear for teens contestants), evening gown and an on-stage question. Winners will receive the opportunity to serve as San Diego’s official hostess. They will also spend the year promoting their platform and will move on to compete in the 2012 Miss California Pageant, the official preliminary to Miss America. Many former Miss San Diego titleholders have won the Miss California title and have had successful careers, including news reporter Lauren Reynolds of KGTV Channel 10, who was Miss San Diego 1993. Miss San Diego 2010, Arianna Afsar of Rancho Penasquitos, was crowned Miss California and placed in the top 10 at the Miss America Pageant which aired live on national television. She was also in the top 36 on Season 8 of “American Idol.” Those interested in competing in the pageant should visit www.MissSanDiego.org for more information.

OBITUARIES

Josephine “Jo” Toone 1917 – 2011

Longtime Poway resident Josephine “Jo” Toone died on November 19, 2011. She was 94 years of age. Josephine Vallinino was born in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, on November 1, 1917. Jo met her future husband, Howard S. Toone, at their mutual place of employment, the New Jersey Child Welfare Department. They were married in June of 1942. Moving from New Jersey to San Diego, Jo and Howard purchased property in Poway in 1955. Jo quickly became involved in what was then a very small community. She became the secretary of the Poway Chamber of Commerce and soon was known as the Poway “Go to Person”. “If you’ve got a question or a problem, go see Jo!”, that was what Poway residents said about her when she was awarded Poway’s Outstanding Service plaque. A few years later

she was named Poway’s Woman of the Year. Jo’s life was filled with community service. She volunteered at Poway schools and was a lifetime member of the P.T.A. She was a scout leader and active with the Community Church, Pomerado Hospital and the Poway Historical Society. She was also awarded a Distinguished Service Citation by Assemblyman Bill Craven “for a long record of service to the Chamber and community beyond the call of duty as Chamber Secretary”. Jo’s family, though, was the most important part of her life. She and Howard had four children, David (Ivana), Susan (Lawrence) House, Bill (Sunni) and Barbara (Jeff) Smith; eight grandchildren; and one great-grandchild who rounded out her life. Jo was predeceased by her husband, Howard, in 1999, and one grand-daughter in 1982. For information about services, please contact toonegirls@gmail.com. Please sign the guest book online at pomeradonews. com.
