HOLIDAY HELLOS — Santa and Mrs. Claus greet some of the estimated 10,000 visitors attending last Saturday’s Christmas in the Park in Old Poway Park. The holiday couple arrived on the Poway-Midland Railroad’s historic steam train. More photos on Page A15. Photo by Bob Francella
WinterFest returns Friday, Saturday BY EMILY SORENSEN Powegians can enjoy a white winter, at least temporarily, this Friday and Saturday. WinterFest, which runs 4 - 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14 and 1 - 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15 in Poway Community Park, promises to bring a little bit of a winter wonderland to Poway, with skating, sledding and other fun activities. Now in its second year, WinterFest has made some changes this year. While the free event has been cut down from four days to two this year, the added benefit is that there will be snow on Snow Hill, available for sledding, on both days of WinterFest. Sleds are provided, so enjoy the 60 foot-long snow ramp, which reaches about six feet at its highest point. Service staff members will be on hand to make sure
everything is safe, and give anyone who needs it a little push to get going down the snowy hill. The skating rink will also be available both days of the event. Made up of an artificial surface, the 40-foot by 60-foot rink looks just like real ice, but with slightly more friction. Regular ice skates can be used on the rink, so feel free to bring your own, or if you don’t have skates, they will be available at WinterFest. Skating costs $5 for youth 17 and under, $7 for adults, and family four-packs of tickets are available for $20. Skates are included in the price of your ticket. A signed waiver form is required in order to skate. Waivers for minors must be signed by the child’s parent or legal guardian. The Poway High School Music Boosters will See WINTERFEST, Page A22
With the passing of Proposition 30 in November, the budget for the Poway Unified School District is looking up, with less cuts. The first interim budget report for the 2012-2013 school year, presented at Monday night’s school board meeting, painted a slightly rosier picture than the pre-Proposition 30 budget, which was adopted in June, though the board was quick to point out that the proposition was far from a cure-all for the district’s (and the state’s) financial woes. The district will end this school year with an extra $24 million in the budget, meaning that necessary budget cuts will not have to occur until the 2014-2015 school year. This is not due to any new money given from Proposition 30, but merely a return of funds the board was required to cut as part of the pre-Proposition 30 budget. See BUDGET, Page A22
More businesses coming to Poway Road next year BY STEVE DREYER New additions to the Poway Road retail landscape include a car dealer opening at a new location later this month and a grocery store coming next summer. Toyota of Poway should be relocated to a 5.5-acre lot southwest of Poway and Midland roads by the end of the month, according to owner Vince Castro. The new site includes three building that have been renovated as part of the $6 million project. Two buildings, each former homes of other brands of vehicles, will house the See BUSINESSES, Page A22

Club on roll with return of golf cart parade BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK
PHS grads play at bowl games BY EMILY SORENSEN
A holiday tradition is quickly building momentum as golf cart owners in Rancho Bernardo create a land-bound spin on a well-known waterbased event. The second annual Rancho Bernardo golf cart parade, held on Dec. 5 at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo’s golf course, is the brainchild of Wally Schneider, who said he was inspired to start a local event after seeing the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights. The bay parade, now in its 41st year, features more than 80 boats decked out with holiday lights and displays. It is viewed by around 80,000 people annually, according to the parade’s website. Schneider, a docent aboard the USS Midway Museum since it opened in 2004, said that year he saw the bay parade for the first time. “When I joined the golf club, it seemed like a natural extension,” Schneider said. “I talked to various (members) and ever ybody seemed to think it was a great idea.” Last year 17 car ts were decked out in lights, garland and other holiday ornaments. This year, Schneider capped par ticipants to 30 car ts, though a few more were on a waiting list, said Jane Bruen, who helped organize both parades. Bruen said because the parade is preceded by a reception at Schneider’s home on Ranch House Road and concludes with a potluck dinner at her home on Grandee Road,
Members of the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo gathered on Dec. 5 for the second annual golf cart parade. Photos by Steve Logsdon they thought it best to limit attendees to around 60. Seeing their homes could hold more, both said the parade is likely to expand next year, at least to 40 or 50 carts, according to Schneider. “What was interesting is that we had a 100 percent return (of participants), which is usual and rare,” he said. “It’s a great deal of fun and a way to bring in the holidays.” Bruen said they will likely continue holding the parade in early December since there are fewer holiday-related conflicts. The weather, of course, is unpredictable. The first year was “extremely cold, but this year it was beautiful,” Schneider said. For now, parade participants have been Countr y Club of Rancho Bernardo members or former members, but because the club’s course and the Oaks North course are connected there is a possibility of expanding
Golf carts decked out with holiday lights were driven around the country club. to Oaks Nor th members, Schneider said. Both organizers mentioned a cart by Bruce and Sandy Starr decorated with a nativity scene and pulling a wagon filled with toys as the most elaborate. Because of the participants’ creativity, they said a decorating contest could be started next year. The holiday lights are powered through various meth-
ods, Schneider said. These include battery-powered light strings and tapping into a cart’s power source. He said privately owned carts all have headlights, whereas rented carts typically do not. While last year viewers were mainly those in homes overlooking the club’s course, Bruen said this year the club offered specials to those who watched from the club patio at
a viewing party. She said some viewers reportedly called the sight “magical” and car ts were driven around the club three times to give a longer show. In addition, this year all carts had boom boxes or radios tuned to 95.7 FM so Christmas music blaring from the carts would be in sync, Bruen said. Last year each played music from various sources.
Those tuning in to catch college football can enjoy a little extra hometown pride. A number of Poway High School graduates, and former members of the Emerald Brigade marching band, will be performing in bowl games across the country. In the Poinsettia Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium Dec. 20, San Diego State University students Kayla Poole, Sierra Johnson, Marilyn Papet, Marissa Papet, Nicole Castro, Melissa Fernandez, Vanessa Montejo and Stacy Norman will all be performing. All the way over in Hawaii, Fresno State University student Angela Stone will be performing in the Aloha Bowl Dec. 24. Former Emerald Brigade members will represent both schools in the Holiday Bowl, held Dec. 27 at Qualcomm Stadium. Mackenzie Murray, from Baylor University, and Erika Lingo and Justin Yee from UCLA will perform. Rutgers student Geoffrey Clarke will be performing in the Florida Citrus Bowl Dec. 28 in Orlando. Emily Cade, who attends Oregon State University, will be performing in the Alamo Bowl Dec. 29 in San Antonio, Texas. Brian Yee, who attends USC, will perform during the Sun Bowl Dec. 31 in El Paso, Texas. Finally, Aaron Woods, who attends Louisiana State University, will be performing during the Chick-fil-A Bowl Dec. 31 in Atlanta, Ga.

DEADLINE TO SIGN UP IS JAN. 2
United Way looking Chamber organizing April trip to Ireland for tutors, mentors BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK
If you’ve ever wanted to sleep in a castle, a nine-day trip to Ireland next year could be just the ticket. The April 15-24 tour of Dublin, Killarney and Limerick, Ireland, is organized by San Diego North Chamber of Commerce. The deadline to register is Jan. 2. It is the second such journey open to chamber members and non-members that the business organization has put together. Last October, the first such venture was a nine-day trip to China. That had 53 participants of widely varying backgrounds including business leaders, retirees and teenagers accompanied by their grandparents, said Debra Rosen, SDNCC president and CEO. “It was flawless. ... Everything was first-class,” Rosen said of the trip. “We did not know what to expect on the first trip, but were pleasantly surprised.” Unlike the China trip that
Some of the participants on the San Diego North Chamber of Commerce’s trip to China in October. consisted of guided tours and a non-stop itinerary from morning to night, Rosen said there will be some free time in the afternoon and evening so participants can explore Ireland on their own. “For business people, there will be meetings with other chambers (there) so they can see how business in Ireland is done,” she said. A similar format to the Ireland trip will be used during a
tour of Austria and Germany in October that the chamber is also organizing. Rosen said one of the benefits of going on the chamber’s trips is the cost. “Our rates are a lot lower than if you go on your own,” Rosen said. “Airfare is clearly expensive and our trips are at the lowest prices and everything is included.” The Ireland trip will be $3,099 for SDNCC members
and $3,299 for non-members. That includes round-trip airfare between San Diego and Dublin, all travel within Ireland, stay in four- and fivestar hotels (one of which is a castle), deluxe tour buses with professional and knowledgeable guides, seven breakfasts, four dinners, admissions and sightseeing per itinerary and any applicable taxes. A small amount of the price goes back to the chamber, which Rosen said will be used for economic development in this region. She said a trip to Ireland was requested by several interested in going, while the Germany venture is because of that countr y’s focus on clean technology and technology jobs, something the chamber is trying to encourage here. For details about going on next year’s Ireland or Austria/Germany trips, contact Danielle Ehrlich at 858-4871767 or Danielle@sdncc. com.
United Way of San Diego County is recruiting 10,000 volunteers as readers, tutors, and mentors to help the county’s youth.

Carl “Lenny” MacPherson, 80, died on December 7, 2012, peacefully and comfortably surrounded by his family. He was born May 26, 1932, in the State of Maine and moved to California in 1959. He was a member of Saint Michaels Catholic Church and a Poway resident for the last 44 years. He will always be remembered not only as a wonderful Husband, Father and Grandpa, but
for his time and service he gave to others. Lenny’s U.S. Naval career spanned 23 years and his employment with Hewlett Packard for 20 years. His volunteer time with the Poway SDCO Sheriffs Department VIP program, and his dedication to his Church as an Usher for 18 years was just part of his lifetime of commitments. The core values learned as a young Naval Sailor and later a Chief Petty Officer, honor, commitment and courage is what he lived by each day of his life. He was a father to four and an Angel to many. Lenny is survived by his wife of 62 years, Rochelle MacPherson; sons, Thomas (Leticia) MacPherson, Larry (Dawn) MacPherson and Garry MacPherson; daughter, Kathleen MacPherson; and grandchildren, Kassandra and Christopher MacPherson and Brittlynn and Mallory MacPherson.

Post office: Holiday mailing deadlines approach BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK If you’ve yet to mail your holiday packages, the U.S. Postal Service is helping by opening the Carmel Mountain Ranch Postal Store on Sunday. The store at 11251 Rancho Carmel Drive will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 16. It is one of nine locations to have the Sunday hours and the only one in this area. The next closest is in Mira Mesa. To make sure gifts arrive by Christmas, items that will be sent Parcel Post must be mailed by tomorrow (Friday). The deadline for First-Class Mail is Thursday, Dec. 20; for Priority Mail it is Friday, Dec. 21 and for Express Mail it is Saturday, Dec. 22. According to Postal Ser vice spokeswoman Eva Jackson, the business mailing day is projected to be Monday, Dec. 17. That will make the busiest delivery day for holiday letters and cards Wednesday, Dec. 19 and the busiest delivery day for holiday packages Thursday, Dec. 20. In San Diego County, all the mail and packages sent out and coming in for delivery are processed at

addresses are one of the ways senders can be sure their letters and packages make it to the right place in time for the holidays. Other tips are: • Select a box strong enough to protect contents. • Cushion items with bubble wrap, newspaper or foam peanuts so they do not shift during transit. • Remove batteries from electronic devices and wrap separately. • Include both “to” and “from” information on packages and only on one side. • Always use a return address, which tells the Postal Ser vice where to return mail that cannot be delivered. • Do not reuse mailing boxes as they can weaken in the shipping process. • Stuff glass and fragile, hollow items with newspaper or packing material to avoid damage. • When mailing framed photographs, take the glass out of the frame and wrap it separately. • Place an extra address label with delivery and return address inside the package in case the outside label becomes unreadable or falls off.
u o Y
• Always use tape designed for sealing shipping boxes. Do not use string, cellophane and masking tape to seal packages. • Address the package or letter correctly. If the ZIP code is not known, locate it at usps.com or 1-800-ASK-USPS. The Postal Service is also trying to make the shipping process easier by offering free boxes in select sizes that are marked for Priority or Express Mail. Some of the Priority ones are flat-rate boxes, which eliminates the need to weigh a package as long as the contents fit inside. Boxes in various sizes, along with other shipping supplies, are also available for purchase at the post office. Having a postal carrier drop off boxes or pick up pre-paid packages — print the shipping labels and postage at usps.com — is another option. Those who need to purchase stamps do not need to go to the post office. Stamps can be ordered and delivered to a home or business. They can also be purchased at many major retailers, such as Vons, Walgreens, Walmart, Staples, Office Depot, Sam’s Club and Costco.

Lyceum’s ‘Christmas Show’ provides ultimate entertainment BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK You’ll not likely think of the holidays in the same light after the hilarious spins on Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa in “The Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged),” playing at the Lyceum Stage through Dec. 23. The play presented by San Diego REPertory Theatre and performed by the Reduced Shakespeare Company is a way to get in the holiday REVIEW great spirit. It is appropriate for those of all ages, though elementaryage children are not likely to catch the puns or know all the political references. It’s also one that can be enjoyed by those of all faiths who observe any holiday at this time of year, including Saturnalia. If you’re unaware of that holiday or lesser-known traditions, the show is also educational. Just be prepared to have your favorite holiDuring the nativity scene of “The Ultimate Christmas Show Abridged” visitors of the baby Jesus day, its history, traditions and songs turned included, from left, a lamb (Dustin Sullivan), a cow (Mick Orfe) and a pig (Michael Faulkner). upside down and comically presented.

The premise is that at St. Everybody’s NonDenominational Universalist Church, groups will be coming from around the world to perform in the annual “Multicultural Interfaith Holiday Variety Show and Christmas Pageant.” When members of all 21 acts get stuck in bad weather and their arrival will either be late or not at all, the three organizers are faced with a dilemma — refund the audience’s tickets or put on the show themselves with an assortment of costumes found backstage. Their take on the holidays at times is untraditional, not always politically correct and sometimes provide societal commentary. Most of the show is extremely funny — like the “Nutcracker” ballet — but it does occasionally get serious, such as the Letters to Santa portion. As with other San Diego REP shows, some performances include free “Surround Events” before or after. Check www.sdrep.org for details. There are matinee and evening performances Tuesdays to Sundays through Dec. 23 at The Lyceum Stage at 79 Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego. Tickets are $33-$52, with student, senior, military and group discounts offered. Purchase in person at the box office, by phone at 619-5441000 or online at www.sdrep.org.

'Letters to Santa' turns 100 BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK
Santa has some busy elves who for a century have been helping him answer letters sent to the North Pole. The elves volunteer their time to open and respond to the letters when not doing their regular jobs — working for the U.S. Postal Service, which is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its Letters to Santa program. It was started in 1912 when Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock authorized postal employees in New York City to respond to the letters and invited New Yorkers to join the effort, according to the USPS website. Now more than 500,000 letters are received nationwide each year. “They’re very funny ... and cute,” said Paulette Keller, a USPS contract technician who for the past couple years has been leading the local team of elves with Vicki WorkmanLaguda, a USPS network specialist. Keller said almost all letters addressed to Santa — whether there is postage or not — and mailed in San Diego County are forwarded to the Margaret L. Sellers Processing and Distribution Center in Carmel Mountain Ranch. They start arriving shortly before Thanksgiving and are predicted to peak this week. Many are individual letters, but of the 4,000 or so received in recent years some come from classrooms, so one envelope could have 30 letters inside. Workman-Laguda said some are addressed to the North Pole, while others get “quite entertaining” because they list
Santa’s address as Planet Earth or indicate the North Pole’s latitude and longitude. Keller estimates she opens hundreds of letters. If they have a legible and complete return address (60 percent of the time) she responds with a handwritten letter or preprinted postcard she decorates with stickers so it is personalized. She estimates spending eight hours on Saturdays helping Santa, as well as four hours most nights after work. Some co-workers respond to letters during their lunchtime. Each postal employee decides how best to respond, including answering children’s questions like “How come Rudolph has a red nose?” or “How do reindeer fly?” Others inquire about specific elves whom they saw in holiday movies. Besides creativity, research is sometimes required, such as when one child asked Santa for help with a chess game. Older children ask for advice on solving their problems. Little children typically include a picture they’ve drawn and list gifts they would like to receive. “We can’t promise them presents,” Keller said. “We say Santa got their list, we write that they need to be a good boy or girl and if they drew a picture, that it will be shown to Mrs. Claus,” she said. As fun as the volunteer task can seem, it also tugs on the elves’ emotions. Keller said about 5 percent of letters recount hardship situations where Christmas presents are unlikely due to parents losing jobs or a relative being ill. Some children confide secrets to

U.S. Postal Service employees Vicki Workman-Laguda, left, and Paulette Keller lead the local team of elves who help Santa respond to Christmas letters. Photo by Elizabeth Marie Himchak Santa, such as mentioning a parent is in jail, but adding no one is to know. Postal Service spokeswoman Eva Jackson showed some she kept from the last few years that still bring her to tears. In one, a child said he and siblings were living with grandparents because their mother was a drug addict and she would rather live on the streets alone than take care of her children. A letter sent after 9/11 mentioned how sorry the child felt for children whose parents died that day. “It’s amazing how much they pick up and internalize,” Jackson said. “It’s a different perspective and makes you think how fortunate you are,” Keller said. “It gives you a sense of how those in the community are feeling and keeps you more connected.” When a hardship letter is read, the elves put the letter in the adoption folder so individuals or organizations can chose to help
Santa fulfill the wishes. While Keller said there is always the possibility the letter is fake, it is not likely when the child requests food or clothing for themselves and others at home. Sizes and age are typically mentioned. “The more detailed, the better,” Workman-Laguda said about these letters, which are sometimes written by parents on their child’s behalf. Anyone who wants to adopt a letter this year needs to make an appointment to view letters by calling Keller at 858-674-0126 or Workman-Laguda at 858-674-0189. The person or group would then decide which requested presents to give, wrap them, pack in a box then return the box and copy of the letter — identifiable information is redacted to protect the children — to the Carmel Mountain Ranch post office and pay for shipping. The deadline for mailing the gifts is Dec. 22. Postal employees address the box.

Locals back from hurricane relief effort BY EMILY SORENSEN Some Hurricane Sandy victims are going into the holidays with their lives a little easier, thanks to some charity-minded Poway and Rancho Bernardo residents. Thirteen Poway and Rancho Bernardo residents flew back to northern New Jersey to assist in the clean-up and demolition of homes damaged by flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy, which ravaged the Eastern Seaboard in November. The group, from Maranatha Chapel in Rancho Bernardo, spent a week ripping out water-damaged walls, floor and furniture in about 12 homes, to allow the houses to dry out, so rebuilding can begin. It’s vitally important that all wet material in the house be torn out to 2 feet above the waterline, to prevent mold. The volunteers from Maranatha Chapel are just a few of the many who have flocked to the storm-ravaged areas from churches around the country, seeking to help desperate homeowners in any way they can. One of the volunteers was Poway resident Tom McCollum, who works in construction. A victim of the 2007 Witch Creek fire who lost his home, McCollum said he could relate to the loss the victims felt. “I felt this sense that ‘you need to go,’” said McCollum, who was able to take a week off from work to go back and volunteer. “There’s a Herculean amount of work that needs to be done there,” said McCollum. Pastor Brian Kelly, of Maranatha Chapel, who also went on the volunteer trip, said
that in addition to doing demolition in waterdamaged homes, the group also worked in relief centers that provided hot meals to the community and workers. Spending time just listening to the homeowners, said Kelly, was one of the best things they did. “They were just blown away that we had come all the way from San Diego to help,” said Kelly. “I told them when the earthquake hits, we’d expect them to help in return.” Poway resident Rle Nichols, who also went, said it was the thought of how he’d like someone to help his family if they were in need that led him to volunteer. “I thought, what if this was my family?” said Nichols. “I’d be thankful if someone helped my daughter.” Nichols said that despite many of the group not knowing each other before going, the week was a “great study of teamwork.” “People were not there for themselves, but to help others,” said Nichols. Like Kelly, Nichols said that listening was one of the biggest parts of what they did in New Jersey. “People were at the breaking point,” said Nichols. “But they’re tough people.” While he’s not sure he’ll be able to go back for a second trip, Nichols said the time he spent volunteering has made him want to keep following up on helping out the people who suffered from Hurricane Sandy. Another group of volunteers is being arranged to return and keep working on the Hurricane Sandy damage in late January or early February, said Kelly.

GUEST COLUMN
Don’t be a crime victim this holiday season By Lance Colmer ccording to figures released by the FBI in their annual report titled “Crime in the United States,” 2011 saw over 1.9 million burglaries and 5.3 million theft-related crimes, including shoplifting and theft from vehicles. Combine these numbers with the current unemployment rate means holiday shoppers need now, more than ever, to be aware of their surroundings and be vigilant in protecting themselves. The holiday season is a time usually filled with happiness and celebration, but unfortunately there are criminals who use this time of year to target victims who may be preoccupied with finding the perfect gift. Shopping during the holiday season can pose some unique risks and taking a few preventative measures can help this season remain joyous, instead of becoming a bad memory. When leaving the house, leave a radio or television on so that the home seems occupied. Criminals are much less likely to burglarize your residence if it appears that someone is home. Take a friend or family member with you when shopping at night. Shopping is always more fun in groups and you are less likely to be seen as a target. If shopping with small children, instruct them to contact a female store clerk or another “mommy” for help, should they get lost or separated. Statistically, women are far less likely to harm or abduct children. Make reuniting with your child easier by writing your cell phone number on a piece of paper and placing it inside your child’s pocket. Dress casually and comfortably and avoid wearing expensive jewelry which can create unnecessary attention. Criminals look for potential victims appearing to have money, expensive clothes, jewelry or high-priced handbags. Thieves often work in teams. A common scenario involves one crook contacting and distracting the victim, while the second thief makes off with your possessions. Pay for purchases with a check or credit/debit card and avoid carrying large sums of cash. Criminals often shadow potential targets while standing in line at the check-out and displaying large amounts of cash may increase the likelihood of you becoming a vic-
A
tim. If shopping alone, ask a store employee to escort you to your vehicle. Walking with a store member who is familiar with the parking area and who can assist you with your packages reduces your risk of being victimized. Always park in a well-lighted area. Criminals don’t like to be seen. Parking in an area with good lighting increases your ability to see potential problems and makes it easier to unlock and enter your vehicle. Avoid parking next to vans, trucks with camper shells, or cars with tinted windows. It is not uncommon for criminals to hide in adjacent vehicles and confront shoppers, who are often distracted with locating their vehicles or carrying multiple packages. Place packages in the trunk of your car or out-of-sight from potential thieves. Criminals are opportunists, and leaving packages in plain view is like an invitation to burglarize your vehicle. Have your keys out prior to approaching your parked vehicle. Scan the parking lot as you walk to your vehicle, and be alert to anyone approaching you. Holding your vehicle door key protruding from a closed fist can make a great defensive weapon should you need it. Once inside your vehicle, lock the doors and start the engine. Locking your doors is another layer of protection against anyone bent on attacking you or stealing your vehicle. If using an ATM machine, always use one in a secure location such as inside a mall or store. Avoid using stand-alone ATMs or machines with limited views of your surroundings, as these may increase your vulnerability. When it comes to staying safe during the holidays, choosing when, where and how you shop is critical. Most important is to reduce your own vulnerability and do what you can to minimize the possibility that you could be a victim of a crime. Colmer is a 15-year veteran of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

It’s time to go over the fiscal cliff
s the arguments in Washington continue to drag on about the “fiscal cliff,” I have just one question for liberals: How long do you think this nation can continue to spend more than it takes in? Surely, the answer is not “forever!” Greece, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Britain and France have run out their strings. While we have a bit more leeway because this nation is highly productive, there are limits even for us. George Will put it very well just a few weeks ago when he said that Americans want $5 worth of services for which they are willing to pay $3. As a nation, through both Democrat and Republican administrations, we have been spending every dime we make, every dime we can borrow, every dime we can put on the tab of the “rich” and every dime we can put on our grandchildren’s credit card. The question remains — when do we stop overspending or undertaxing? Do we wish to place ourselves in the position of those failed European nations currently having to wean their populations from longheld candy put on their credit cards — and now rioting in the streets as the belt-tightening begins? Personally, I hope we go over the cliff — with tax increases for everyone, and massive cuts. That scenario was put in place, at least in theory, because it was “unthinkable,” but it actually is good economics to more nearly pay for what you get. Once the taxes are increased on everyone, perhaps (and only perhaps) we can discuss how to more equitably reform the entire tax code. Once the drastic cuts are in place, perhaps (and only perhaps) we can discuss the reinstitution of those areas we actually need. Since tax and spending bills are initiated by the House of Representatives by the U.S. Constitution, the
Allen Polk Hemphill TAKING THE POINT POSITION House can address those issues — which is what they are tasked to do now. Why they are even talking with the president is beyond me. The House should pass whatever they want and await the Senate vote. Right now, of course, the Senate has failed their constitutional duty by refusing to vote on ANY budget for three years. If there is a stalemate in Washington it is the U.S. Senate, but somehow everyone blames the House. Even the president’s proposals have received zero votes in the Senate, from Democrats. This nation is spending our grandchildren’s wealth with all the alacrity of the Poway Unified School District board, hoping that inflation will cover their bet — but the same people who are predicting the future inflation did not predict the current economic downturn. Looking at history, it is not a bad bet — all nations inflate their currency to consume more than they are willing to pay for. This nation is still years away from riots in the streets, as European-style austerity drives unemployment to the 25 percent levels of Spain and Greece. The European nations are now officially in another recession. Liberals tell us we can learn a lot from the Europeans, and in this case the liberals are absolutely correct — but it is a lesson liberals refuse to recognize.

t will take an army of social and political scientists, along with a few anthropologists and pundits, years to sort out all the ramifications of the 2012 elections. It is unlikely their work will be finished during our lifetimes. But several of the more significant after effects are already apparent. The implications are disheartening, to say the least, and offer a not-too-complimentary commentary on America’s emerging character. Perhaps the most significant facet of this new American character is the extent to which hate and disrespect for other human beings has emerged as a mainstay. To classify this animosity as mere class warfare or a struggle between the “haves” and the “have nots” is to oversimplify. It misses the strong undercurrents of hostility that have emerged along multiple axes of polarization. There can be no doubt that President Obama’s unceasing mantra to soak the rich through higher taxes has created widespread acrimony toward the more successful members of society who already pay the majority of the nation’s taxes. But the enmity and bitterness that permeates our culture goes far beyond economic classifications. The word “hate” has become a conversational staple. I can’t remember the last time I had a conversation with someone about politics when statements like “The thing I hate about (insert any politician’s name)...” didn’t pepper the dialogue.

Dick Lyles GET REAL The problem today is that when people say they hate something about someone, they are really saying they actually have decided they hate the person. And hate they do, typified by such comments as, “I can’t stand the way he holds his head when he talks.” It used to be that we could disagree about issues and still respect each other. Those days are gone. When asked about tolerance in a recent TV interview, mega-pastor Rick Warren said, “The problem is that ‘tolerant’ has changed its meaning. Tolerant used to mean, I may disagree with you completely, but I’m going to treat you with respect. That’s what tolerant means. “Today, to some people, tolerant means you must approve of everything I do,” Warren continued. “That’s not tolerance. That’s approval.” He then cited examples of people who paint all those who disagree with them as bigots and bullies. It is fashionable today to hate old white men, Christians, Muslims, Jews, people of faith, people on welfare, people whose success has brought them wealth, the disadvantaged,
union members, business people, liberals, conservatives, and many more. Identify people who fall into any sub-category of society and you can just as easily identify a sub-group who hates them for who they are. Never has our society been more fractionalized and America’s psyche so un-united. In short, we’ve replaced the macro-bigotry of the past with new forms of micro-bigotry. Years ago, as a young naval officer I was assigned to a group to combat racism and gender discrimination in the Navy. How proud we were to see people learn to let go of personal prejudice and become caring human beings, respectful of their shipmates regardless of their diversity! I remember my optimism that someday we’d live in a world free from interpersonal disrespect. Today that optimism has been replaced by an overwhelming sadness that disrespect for others, along with a new breed of hatred, has become a modern American mainstay. Although we can cite many examples of living, loving charity, the sad reality is that hate animates more passion than love in today’s public square. America is becoming ethically bankrupt more rapidly than it is becoming economically bankrupt, which is no simple fete.

Liberalism vs. conservatism: a zero sum game?
y son Stuart drives a 1985 Volvo affectionately named Nathan. This tank-like car has more than 126,323 miles on the engine. How many more is uncertain since the odometer is broken. It’s gun metal gray which is convenient since one of the bumpers is inconspicuously held together with duct tape. It would be a stretch to call Nathan a classic, but Stuart cherishes his car as if it were. My husband disassembled and repaired his 15-year-old electric beard trimmer recently after trying to replace it twice only to discover that new models were not as good as the one he already had. What Nathan and the beard trimmer demonstrate is that when we recognize that something serves us well, and has worth either due to its quality or because of the sentimental value we assign it, we do not dispose of it. Instead, we protect it from harm or destruction; we conserve it. Newer cars have significant advantages over Nathan, including fuel efficiency and safety features. Beard trimmers apparently haven’t made such dramatic advancements, but other gizmos such as the telephone have come a long way. Landlines are now considered “quaint” and what we can now do with a smartphone would have been considered magic 50 years ago. So while conserving is good, when we see the possibility to improve our lot, most of us move in that direction. Which leads me to politics. Politically defined, a conservative is a person who holds traditional attitudes and values and
Amy Roost AU CONTRAIRE is averse to change. A liberal is a person who is open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard or replace the traditional with the new. Given the nature of the political socalled dialogue these days if you listen to only one side, you would think neither change or conservation had any value. This is pretty much true whichever side you are on. The other side is viewed as the enemy of your side, to be devalued and defeated at all costs, because the other side has nothing to offer. Right? Wrong. We have forgotten that we all have something valuable to offer and we are all ultimately on the same team — America. Remember? Dick Lyles and I have certainly aired our many differences over time (you may have noticed). More recently we’ve created a format to explore common ground (a challenging exercise at times). I’ve invited his Closet Liberal to come out and play with my Closet Conservative. Is it possible that liberalism and conservatism don’t have to be totally and unalterably opposed. Perhaps conservatism could
be thought of as a counterbalance to the liberal view that things should change a lot. And perhaps liberalism could be thought of as a counterbalance to the conservative view that nothing should ever change. We have a brain that has two sides, and each side thinks somewhat differently. The left brain tends to be more logical, sequential and rational, while the right brain tends to be more holistic, intuitive and synthesizing. So which is better? Who wins? Well, actually neither. The winner is the whole brain, that integrates and uses both of its sides effectively. Would it be possible to integrate the strengths of both sides of the political spectrum in a way that we have the best of both perspectives? Could we possibly move away from a zero sum game where only one side can win and there has to be a loser? If a win/win scenario is a possibility, what are the old ways worth conserving? What are the new ways worth being open to? I invite both liberals and conservatives to consider at least one issue from your political opponents’ point of view. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I believe this exercise would bring us closer together on the issues that are dividing us. I also invite my Stuart to consider how much better gas mileage he’d get with a newer car, and how much better his mother would feel knowing he had a driver’s side air bag protecting him.

McCartys proud to be 'old-fashioned' “We are a little old-fashioned when it comes to business principles ... and proud of it,” said Pat McCarty of the team of Pat and Doug McCarty of Prudential California Realty. “We can’t and don’t just assist our clients to buy or sell a home,” Pat said. “In our hearts, we have to know that what we’re assisting them in doing is the right thing.

Their team is equipped to give clients what is required in today’s technology-oriented techniques, using the Internet to market a home, search for homes and maintain a strong email communications link. Their professional and personal touches have not only earned the McCartys the respect of their clients, but their peers as well.

Standard Pacific Homes is expanding its Presidio community by 56 homes.
New homes coming to Del Sur Buyers in search of their dream home at Del Sur have a number of new options to choose from, as Del Sur is growing. The 1,800acre master-planned community is welcoming 98 new home sites from two homebuilders, plus two new parks. “With the addition of 98 new homes and two parks, we’re not only extending home ownership opportunities, we’re extending the opportunity to be part of a connected community,” said Bill Ostrem, president and CEO of Black Mountain Ranch, developer of Del Sur Two builders who are currently building at Del Sur — Standard Pacific Homes and California West Communities — will continue providing these meaningful homeownership opportunities. The builders have closed on new parcels situated along the peninsula of Del Sur, overlooking Santaluz and Lusardi Creek. Standard Pacific Homes is expanding its Presidio community — well received for spacious and flexible floor plans — with the addition of 56 homes. “Our Presidio homebuyers appreciate the included, high-quality interior features, indoor-outdoor living spaces and beautiful canyon locations,” said Ted McKibbin, Southern California Coastal president of Standard Pacific Homes. “With our additional Presidio home sites, even more families will have the opportunity to call Del Sur home.”
The designs, ranging from 3,558 to 3,824 square feet with up to five bedrooms and 4.5 baths, also incorporate space for outdoor entertaining and take advantage of the views. New homes were released on Nov. 10, with pricing from the high $700,000s. California West Communities is expanding its presence with 42 new homes. The builder will continue its Valencia neighborhood, where the homes emphasize a connection to the outdoors with an open-air living room aptly named the Del Sur Room. “At Del Sur, homes are complemented by top-notch amenities and opportunities for outdoor living,” said Robert Thorne, chief executive officer at California West Communities. “As we expand Valencia, with floor plans that flow from the indoors to the outdoors, more families will get to experience this great lifestyle.” Three floor plans range from 2,996 to 3,495 square feet with up to six bedrooms and three to four baths. The homes also include generously sized second-floor bonus rooms designed for family playtime. New home sites were released for sale last month, with pricing from low $700,000s. Shea Homes also continues to offer opportunities for homeownership at Del Sur with its stylish condominium homes, Mandolin. Available in five different floor plans, the homes range from 1,643 to 2,333 square feet.

Toyota and Scion brands and a used car sales center. The third building, a former auto repair center, has been turned into the Toyota dealer’s service center and body shop. The existing Toyota dealership, at 13750 and 13760 Poway Road, will be eventually razed, along with a neighboring building once used as a Chevrolet dealership. The combined properties have been purchased by the Lowe’s home improvement chain which has city approval to build an 121,000-square-foot store, a 31,658-square-foot garden center and a 4,500-square-foot fast-food restaurant pad on the 11 acres. Just down the street, work has started on the old Dixieline home improvement building that is being renovated for new two tenants — the previously announced new Michael’s crafts store and a Grocery Outlet. Melissa Porter, vice president of marketing for the Berkeley-based grocery chain, said the 16,000-square-foot space is “perfect for us” and that a June or July opening is planned, depending on how quickly neces-
sary permits can be secured. The company will hire between 30 and 40 employees, she said. Started in 1946, the family-owned Grocery Outlet company has over 185 stores in 15 states. The company says it offers customers deeply discounted prices on produce, meat, deli products, personal care items, gift items, beer and wine. Grocery Outlet has stores in National City, Oceanside and the East Village, with a Point Loma location opening in February. Company-commissioned studies show customers come from all economic categories, Porter said. Historically, the stores do well despite being in close proximity to other retailers offering similar products, she said. Representing the retail center owner in the Grocery Outlet lease was John Jennings, senior director of Cushman & Wakefield of San Diego. Jennings listed several other additions to the Poway retail scene, including Village Lock & Key, Gold Max and Dollar Tree at the Poway Crossings center.
Tholandi also presented required projections of the 2013-14 and 2014-15 budgets, which contained both good and bad news. While Tholandi predicted no budget cuts for the 2013-14 school year, she did say that as of right now in her projections, there will need to be $28 million in cuts in the 2014-15 school year budget in order to not end the school year massively in debt. With the governor’s projected budget not being released until next month, Tholandi
said things could still change, especially in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 budgets. The second interim budget will be presented to the school board in March 2013. A special board meeting to conduct public hearings related to PUSD Community Facilities District No. 15 is being held 4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 17. The next school board meeting is being held 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22. Both meetings are at the PUSD office, 15250 Avenue of Science, Carmel Mountain Ranch.

All revenues for the 2012-13 school year will be increased by a total of $20 million from the initial proposed budget, thanks to ever ything from increased enrollment in the district, to an increase in donations and grants, as well as a $2.3 million mandated block grant that Associate Superintendent Malliga Tholandi said the district was surprised to receive. There was also an increase in expenditures of $3.2 million in the new interim budget, up
to $272 million from the initial $268.5 million. A large portion of this increase is $2.4 million to pay off the costs of buses, a one-time payment, as well as increases in books and supplies, and both certificated and classified salaries. However, Tholandi reported savings of $55,296 in employee benefits, due to savings in health and welfare benefits, and a removal of a $772,601 settlement, which was paid off in full at the end of the previous school year.

According to the Environmental Services Department, Americans will dispose of 38,000 miles of ribbon this year, enough to tie a bow around the Earth. City officials suggested reusing items such as using wrapping paper, gift bags and ribbon; making gift tags from old wrapping paper; and making your own wrapping paper by decorating other forms of paper, such as bags or blueprint paper.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - City of San Diego officials are urging residents to redouble their recycling efforts over the holidays. Each household typically generates three to 10 extra bags of trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, and much of the contents could be recycled, according to the city. “The (Miramar) Landfill is a finite resource and has a limited number of years of useable life left to bury trash,” said Chris Gonaver, head of the city’s Environmental Services Department. “Although San Diego’s waste diversion rate is at 65 percent, we must do a better job recycling because more than two-thirds of material buried in the landfill is recyclable.”

MINOR TWIST TO SAME STORY Poway leads way as usual, but in new division
BY MICHAEL BOWER
The story doesn’t change often around here when it comes to wrestling, but with this season comes a minor twist — Poway High is now in Division II. The Titans, which have won ever y CIF San Diego Section Division I crown since the division’s inception in 1994, will now crush the section title hopes of those in Division II. The move was due to lower enrollment at Poway High. The Titans are favored to win their 27th straight section championship under legendar y coach Wayne Branstetter, who is in his 35th year at Poway. Rancho Bernardo, which just captured coach Joe Eddie Terribilini’s 100th victory on Dec. 5, will be leaning on a few seniors and its youth to excel this year. Del Nor te has a new coach, former Poway wrestler Cris Crosthwaite. But the Nighthawks could have a challenging season ahead
Poway High's Victor Cruz, middle, is ranked No. 3 in the state at 145 pounds. since they currently cannot fill five of the 14 weight classes. Here is a closer look at each local team:

not as lucky, as it is the new home of Poway, winners of 26 straight section titles. The move was due to lower enrollment at Poway High. “I think Division II is the strongest out of all the divisions,” Branstetter said. “La Costa Canyon and Rancho Bernardo are decent. I know San Marcos was thinking they had a chance to win it this year. I think we are going to rain on their pa-
rade, though.” That is a pretty safe bet. The Titans enter the season ranked fourth in the state by The California Wrestler behind only Clovis, Vacaville and St. Jon Bosco. Poway has seven grapplers ranked in the top-15 of the state, including Lopez, who is ranked No. 3 at 145 pounds. He has committed to Bucknell University. “It is a fine line between Victor and the No.1-ranked kid (in the state),” Branstetter said. “It is razor thin.” Cervantes is ranked No. 5 in the state at 170 pounds. He placed third in the section and seventh in the state at 160 pounds last year. Lara (ranked 10th in the state), Colt Doyle (15th), Cody Doyle (11th), Tovar (10th), Faller and Enloe (10th) are all part of another loaded Titans squad. “We have pretty much the same expectations and goals as always,” Branstetter said. “We obviously want to continue to win league and CIF and Masters. And, of course, we would like to win state.” Defending champion Clovis will likely be the school standing between the Titans and their fifth state title. But the season is a long one and anything can happen. “It will be dif ficult, but See WRESTLING, Page B2

Milestone win
Rancho Bernardo High wrestling coach Joe Eddie Terribilini notched his 100th win on Dec. 5, when the Broncos beat Carlsbad 41-20 at Rancho Bernardo High. Former wrestlers were in attendance and fans recognized the milestone by holding up pieces of paper with “100” written on them. “It was nice and it was special for me,” said Terribilini, who is in his 10th year with the Broncos. “What was really cool was the kids being apart of something as a program.”
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Castro aspires to coach, teach BY MICHAEL BOWER
Poway's Mandy Castro.
File photo
Mandy Castro has blossomed into one of the top point guards in the San Diego County over these past two years at Poway High. But working hard to become one of the best at her position is not all the 5-foot-4 senior has been focused on while with the Titans. Castro has also been putting time aside to learn what it takes to become a top-notch coach. And there are not many better to learn from than the esteemed Jay Trousdale, who is in his 26th year coaching at Poway and is second on the all-time wins list in the San Diego County with 540 victories. “He definitely pulls me aside a lot to go over his thought process because he knows I want to get into coaching,” said Castro, who has aspirations of teaching and coaching one day. “I will go with him to scout some of the games of our future opponents and he allows
me to chime in with information from scouting other teams.” The desire to coach one day has only made Castro more dangerous as a point guard. Her enhanced understanding of how to attack defenses and properly manage a game makes her a true floor leader. “I take that pretty seriously,” Castro said. “Especially since I am a captain this year. I was a floor leader last year, but now I have the title to go along with my role. It is important, especially with helping out all the younger girls we have.” Castro and the Titans (4-1) are off to a fast start. She posted her first double-double of the season last week in a 60-39 win over San Marcos. Castro delivered 18 points and 10 assists in the win. She also scored nine points in a 60-54 overtime loss to San Pasqual last week. For her efforts, Castro is the Pomerado News Athlete See CASTRO, Page B3

funny things happen on the way to the bank,” Branstetter said. “We will continue to train hard and work hard and then lay it on the line.”
Rancho Bernardo
ԎԎCOACH: Joe Eddie Terribilini, 10th year ԎԎLAST SEASON: Finished in third place in Division II behind La Costa Canyon and San Marcos. ԎԎKEY GRAPPLERS: 120/126, Jeremy Rubic, Sr.; 138/145, Nick Mendiola, Sr.; 182/195, Ale Ferrar, Sr.; 170, Arman Kalustob, Sr.; 220/285, Arlen Kohrmann, Sr.; 132, Hunter Stock, Jr.; 170/182, Cyrus Pirsa, Jr. ԎԎOUTLOOK: The Broncos did not have a single state qualifier last season, but are hoping that will change this year with Rubic returning. The senior finished in fifth place in the 113-pound weight class at Masters last year, and is ranked No. 3 in the section at 126 pounds. There are four other seniors in the mix; otherwise, the team is comprised mainly of freshmen and sophomores. “We are young,” said Terribilini, who captured his 100th victory at Rancho Bernardo last week against Carlsbad. “In our dual (last) Thursday, we started a combined six freshmen and sophomores.” Rancho Bernardo, only two years removed from a Division II section championship, is also looking for a solid year from Mendiola. The senior, who is also a star golfer at the school, suffered an early season ankle sprain but is hoping to bolster
Rancho Bernardo senior Jeremy Rubic, on top above, is ranked third in the CIF San Diego Section at 126 pounds. File photo the lineup at 138 or 145 pounds. He is just one of several Broncos that put in a ton of hours in the mat room during the offseason. “This is one of the hardest working group of kids that we have ever had,” Terribilini said. “Talent wise, they may not be at the top, but they make up for that with their hard work. It is so hard to say where they will end up right now. We just want to finish the year strong and peak at the right time.” Freshman Matt Libassi is off to a strong start, already placing in two tournaments
at 113 pounds. Stock and Pirsa have also started fast for the Broncos, which placed second in the Small Schools Division at the Clovis West Shootout last week.
Del Norte
ԎԎCOACH: Cris Crosthwaite, 1st year ԎԎLAST SEASON: Finished in third place in Division IV behind Brawley Union and La Jolla. ԎԎKEY GRAPPLERS: 132, Sam Acosta, Sr.; 113, Ryan Thurman, Sr.; 106, Andrew Kane, Sr. ԎԎOUTLOOK: The Nighthawks were co-
champions of the Valley League last year, but could be in for a tough season with only nine of the 14 weight classes filled with grapplers. The new coaching staff did not get on board until September, which made it hard to recruit kids to go out for the wrestling team. Still, the Nighthawks’ program should be in great hands with former Poway High wrestlers Crosthwaite and assistant Anthony Alvarez leading the way. Both are 2008 graduates of Poway. Crosthwaite is a former CIF Masters champion and state qualifier. “Our main goal right now is bringing back the basics and to perfect them,” Alvarez said. “We are not tr ying to get too technical right now. We are taking it slow and steady and then toward the middle of the season get a little more technical.” Acosta returns as the team’s top grapper. The senior was one win away from reaching the state championships, finishing in fourth place at the CIF Masters tournament. He is ranked No. 25 in the state and third in the section at 138-pounds. “We think he can go to state and place this year,” Alvarez said. “He has great drive and the determination to be the best and beat the best.” The Nighthawks are hoping for a topthree finish in Division IV. The door opens for a championship in the division now that Brawley Union and La Jolla, the first- and second-place finishers last year, moved to Division III.

of the Week. “She is ver y valuable,” Trousdale said of Castro. “She can bring the ball up against pressure easily and that is something you definitely appreciate as a coach. She also understands my defensive philosophy and how important that is to me and our program.” Castro causes fits on the defensive end of the floor, often forcing errant passes or coming up with steals. “I want to make the other point guard feel uncomfortable,” she said. “It has worked out pretty good so far. We have gotten a lot of fast breaks off turnovers.” Castro is not the only outstanding point guard playing at Poway. The boys team is led by junior Tom Erb, who is also making a name for himself around the county. The two are friends and spend plenty of time working on their games together. “We compete a lot with how we are doing,” Castro said. “We just motivate each other to work harder more than anything.” “Motivate” and “work harder.” Sounds like a true coach.
All four local boys soccer teams have chance to reach the postseason BY MICHAEL BOWER Poway High and Maranatha Christian were the lone local teams to make the playoffs last season. Both were eliminated in the semifinals of their respective divisions. All four local squads have a strong shot at reaching the postseason this year. The Titans lost 16 seniors to graduation from last year, but there is still plenty of potential with the inexperienced players. The Broncos, who won just five games last year, are still in the rebuilding process but have the talent to get back to the postseason. The Eagles lost the career-leading goal scorer in the San Diego Section in Luke Kadillak to graduation, but return a ton of talent and should be a lock to reach the Division V playoffs. Finally, the Nighthawks are primed to have a breakout year. After two straight losing seasons, Del Norte should challenge for a Valley League title and a spot in the Division III playoffs. The Nighthawks are 3-0-4 through their first seven games. Here is a closer look at the local

Kids Corner: HYLAND’S EARACHE TABLETS
Due to growing concerns about the rising rate of antibiotic resistance, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians recommended a new 48 to 72 hour waiting period before prescribing antibiotics. The new guidelines leave many parents anxious and scrambling after a doctor’s visit to find safe over-thecounter relief for the pain associated with their child’s earache. Hyland’s, Inc. has the answer parents are looking for: Hyland’s Earache Tablets – effective, safe and all-natural medicines to make kids feel better quickly. Hyland’s Earache Tablets successfully target earache pain and are non-prescription,
aspirin- and acetaminophen-free formulas safe for children and adults. Unlike other products of their kind in the marketplace, they don’t just numb the pain; they also decrease the redness and irritation in the eardrum that often accompany earaches. Hyland’s Earache Formula has been clinically proven to be effective. Hyland’s Earache Tablets work without side effects and are packaged to provide 48 hours of relief – the perfect amount to help kids get the relief they need during the new watchful waiting period so they can potentially avoid an unnecessary course of antibiotics. Hyland’s Earache Drops are available as well.*

Last year’s loss was especially tough since it was a 2-1 overtime heartbreaker to Torrey Pines and it was the end of 16 seniors’ prep career. That means this year’s Poway team has an entire new look. There are 14 new players and only two returning starters — Perantau and Savitt. The big question mark for the Titans will be on offense. “Our biggest challenge will be scoring goals,” Morris said. “We have to find a way to get the ball in the back of the net. We had five Division I players last year that we are trying to replace. I have to remember these guys aren’t those guys.” Morris is hoping Perantau and Berdan can step up as the leading scorers. Cedillo and Bedoya are solid in the midfield and should help create scoring opportunities for the Titans. Despite having a handful of players without experience at the varsity level, the goals remain the same for Poway: compete for a league title and a section championship. “We would like to have a winning record and of course win league or See SOCCER, Page B4

HIGH EXPECTATIONS
Poway High, Del Norte and Rancho Bernardo will all be in the mix for league titles BY MICHAEL BOWER Soccer fans around the local area are in for a treat this season. Poway High, Rancho Bernardo and Del Norte are all loaded with talent and should be in the mix for league and section titles. The Titans, Broncos and Nighthawks all return their leading goal scorer. Poway and Rancho Bernardo should challenge Westview and Torrey Pines for the Palomar League crown. Meanwhile, the Nighthawks are determined to repeat as Valley League champions and get back to the Division III section championship, where it fell 4-0 to Cathedral Catholic last season. Del Norte junior forward Kyra Carusa, who is verbally committed to Stanford, leads a long list of must-see players in the area. Here is a closer look at each local team:
Jill Godfrey, right, will be one of the top strikers for Poway High this season. File photo
Poway
ԎԎ COACH: Jen Lalor-Nielsen, 9th year ԎԎ 2012 RECORD: 10-8-3, eliminated in quarterfinals of Division I playoffs. ԎԎ KEY PLAYERS: F, Jamie McCandless, Sr.; F, Courtney McCandless, Sr.; MF, Jill Godfrey, Sr.; MF, Bridget Wollrabe, Sr.; D, Maura Duggan, Sr. ԎԎ OUTLOOK: The Titans return plenty of talent this season and should be able to challenge the top teams in the loaded Palomar League. Three of the four leading goal scorers from last season return in Jamie and Courtney McCandless and Wollrabe. Godfrey should also provide an offensive spark for the Titans. “We have a lot of experience and potential,” Lalor-Nielsen said. “We have high hopes and expectations of doing better than we did last year.” The defense should be solid with Godfrey and Wollrabe roaming the midfield. Dugan, who will play for Harvard next season, leads a strong defensive line. The Titans finished with a 5-3-2 record and in third place

Lalor-Nielsen is more concerned about the team hitting its peak come playoff time. “The focus isn’t necessary on the league part of the season,” she said. “We just want to make sure we continue to play well and get better. The great thing about league is we are playing tough competition every week.”
ԎԎ COACH: Mark Sidebottom, 2nd year. ԎԎ 2012 RECORD: 11-10-2, eliminated in semifinals of Division II playoffs. ԎԎ KEY PLAYERS: MF, Tara Meier, Jr.; MF, Ellissya Andino, Soph.; MF, Megan Cury, Jr.; Imke D, Scheepers, Soph.; D, Amanda Roy, Fr. ԎԎ OUTLOOK: The Broncos were a win away from reaching the Division II section championship and figure to be in the mix again this year. Big-name schools Westview and Torrey Pines are likely to garner most of the attention in the Palomar League, but that is the way Rancho Bernardo coach Sidebottom prefers it. “I like being under the radar,” he said. “The pressure is on the ones with the headlines in the newspaper, not on us.” The Broncos are set to be a force in the section this year and next. Underclassmen Meier and Andino are the top See PREVIEW, Page B5

finish in the top part of league,” Morris said. “We also want to make the playoffs, of course. Once you get there it is about whoever is hot and healthy.” Torrey Pines, Westview and Mt. Carmel figure to be the favorites to capture the Palomar League title.
Rancho Bernardo
ԎԎ COACH: Kurt Trecker, 8th year ԎԎ 2012 RECORD: 5-15-1, missed playoffs. ԎԎ KEY PLAYERS: GK, Sam Fenlason, Soph.; D, Kenzie Broton, Jr.; MF, Luke Sidebottom, Sr.; F, Eric Dixon, Jr.; MF, Francis Castro, Sr.; F, John Tapia, Sr.; MF, Kiyo Tamagata, Sr. OUTLOOK: The Broncos are coming off a season in which they did not post double-digit wins for the first time in at least six years. But that youthful squad from a year ago should improve and have a chance at reaching the Division II playoffs. Dixon was second in goals last year with five and will likely be the team’s top scorer this season. Sidebottom and Castro should also help the Broncos find the back of the net more often. Rancho Bernardo had just 26 goals last year. Fenlason split time in the net last season, but should see all of the playing time this year. The Broncos finished in last place in the Palomar League last season. Their only win came against rival Poway. Rancho
Bernardo should be more competitive this year, and has a chance to finish in the middle of the pack.
Del Norte
ԎԎ COACH: David O’Reilly, 4th year ԎԎ 2012 RECORD: 2-16-0, missed playoffs. ԎԎ KEY PLAYERS: MF, Trevor Renken,Sr.; MF, Dexter Offer, Sr.; GK, Alex Groesbeck, Sr.; D, Marcos Sanchez, Jr. ԎԎ OUTLOOK: Two years of getting crushed at the varsity level appear to be over. The Nighthawks are primed to have a breakout season and even have thoughts of winning the Valley League title and advancing to the Division III playoffs for the first time in the school’s short history. Renken and Offer are the top two strikers. Renken has been with the program since its inception in 2009. He along with Offer and Sanchez are team captains. While most schools in the Valley League graduated talent, Del Norte did not graduate one player from last year’s team. “I just want to be competitive and play with every team and we have done that so far,” said O’Rielly last week, after his team started the year with two wins and a tie. “We want to get in the mix so people start to take us more seriously.” Expect the Nighthawks to score more goals than the 20 they had combined over their first two years at the varsity level. Through the first three games, Del Norte has already found the back of the net five times.
The Nighthawks are hoping to snag their first league victory in program history and make the leap from the cellar to the top of the standings. With the exit of Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito Academy, the door is open for a league title. Orange Glen and Valley Center should also be in the mix for a championship.
Maranatha Christian
ԎԎ COACH: David Cabral ԎԎ 2012 RECORD: 17-2-2, eliminated in semifinals of Division V playoffs. ԎԎ KEY PLAYERS: F, Steven Velazquez, Sr.; F, Ethan Gwaltney, Sr.; MF, Isaac Schwann, F.; MF, Caleb Batten, Sr.; GK, Josh Ledgerwood, Sr. OUTLOOK: The Eagles scored 92 goals, but 44 of those were by the graduated Luke Kadillak, who became the alltime leader in the section in career goals. Replacing him will be tough, but the return of Velazquez, Gwaltney and Batten will certainly help. Maranatha still has the firepower to make a run at a Division V section title. The Eagles should also challenge for the Pacific League title. Maranatha has outscored opponents 18-2 in its first two games this season. Velazquez has already tallied seven goals in those two contests, while Gwaltney had four. Freshman Schwann has made an immediate impact, posting two goals and five assists through the first two games.

strikers and the biggest strength of Rancho Bernardo is creating scoring opportunities. “I think we will be in the mix for a title,” Sidebottom said. “I have no worries about this team and I feel more confident this year than I did last year.” Meier led the team in goals with eight last year, while Andino was tied for second with four. Meier, through the first three games of the season, has already scored four goals.
Del Norte is the heavy favorite to repeat as Valley League champions. Looking far ahead, it appears Cathedral Catholic will once again be the team standing between the Nighthawks and a D-III section title.

Can Social Security checks be garnished? Dear Savvy Senior, I have some outstanding debts and would like to find out if my Social Security checks can be garnished. What can you tell me? — Old and In Debt Dear Old, Whether your Social Security benefits can be garnished or not depends on who you owe. Banks and other financial creditors, for example, can’t touch your Social Security checks. But if Uncle Sam is collecting on a debt, some of your benefits are fair game. Here’s what you should know. Creditor protections If you have credit card debts, medical bills, unpaid personal loans or pay day loans, you’ll be happy to know that your Social Security benefits are safe from your creditors (those you owe). But, be aware that your creditors can still take legal action against you to recover what you owe them, and depending on your state’s law, they may be able to garnish your wages and tap into other allowable assets, if you have any. But they can’t take the money you receive from Social Security. Nor can they touch Supplemental Security Income (SSI), veterans benefits, federal employee and civil service retirement benefits, and benefits administered by the Railroad Retirement Board Administration. To ensure your Social Security or other government benefits are protected from creditors, you need to have them directly deposited into your bank ac-
Jim Miller THE SAVVY SENIOR count, or to a Direct Express Debit MasterCard account (see godirect.org). Benefits deposited by check into your bank account aren’t protected. Also, be sure you don’t transfer your benefits to another account, or else the protection is void. And don’t have credit cards or other loans at the bank where your benefits are deposited. Money owed to a bank, if it also holds the deposit account, can be frozen. Government garnishment If, however, you owe money to Uncle Sam, it’s a very different story. The federal government can garnish a portion of your benefits for repayment of several types of debts, including federal income taxes, federal student loans, child support and alimony, non-tax debt owed to other federal agencies, defaulted federal home loans and certain civil penalties. (If you receive SSI, those benefits cannot be garnished under any circumstance.) How much can actually be garnished depends on to what you owe for. If you owe back taxes to the IRS, 15 percent of your Social Security benefits can be taken each month until the debt is paid in full. The government uses the Fed-
eral Payment Levy Program to garnish your payments. If you owe money on a student loan — it doesn’t matter how long ago you were in school — the first $750 of your monthly benefits is off-limits to garnishment. After that, the government can shave off up to 15 percent. And if you owe past or current child or spousal support you could lose as much as 50 to 65 percent of your benefits. Delinquent child support and alimony cases are processed through the national Court Ordered Garnishment System. In these situations, the maximum reduction to your benefits depends on the state where you live. The garnishment is limited to either the maximum allowed under state law or the maximum under the Consumer Credit Protection Act, or CCPA, whichever is less. You also need to know that before your Social Security benefits are garnished, you’ll receive several letters of notice from the IRS, and be given ample opportunity to make a pay arrangement. If you don’t, the agency will start docking your monthly checks.
Get help If you believe your accounts are being frozen or garnished improperly, you’ll need to seek legal help. The American Bar Association provides links to free and low-cost legal help in your area at findlegalhelp.org. Or, call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 for referrals. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Group's card sales help African grandmas raising children
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Still wondering what to get that person who has “everything” and says “I don’t need anything” when it comes to holiday gifts? The Gogo Grandmothers organization has a solution. The international organization with a Rancho Bernardo/ Poway chapter has started selling gift cards that help poverty-stricken grandmothers in Malawi, Africa, who are raising their grandchildren. Most of the youngsters were orphaned due to AIDS. For $20, a family will receive a 100 pound bag of maize, enough for an entire month. For $10, a family mosquito net can be given, which protects children from malaria, one of the most common deadly diseases. A $10 donation can also provide a warm blanket to a child who has never owned a blanket. A $25 donation can provide meals to more than 1,600 orphans through their village preschool’s daily feeding program or it can cover half the cost of a 100 pound sack of commercial fertilizer used
Blankets being distributed in one of the villages in Malawi. for the family’s yearly crop of maize. The fertilizer is just one of the “share the cost” options available if someone does not want to pay the full amount, which in this case would be $50. Other “share the cost” cards include $50 toward construction of a preschool building. Providing an education to older students so they can have a better life and break the cycle of poverty is another option. The annual
high school tuition for a day student is $15, while the annual tuition for a student who boards is $50. “It’s been ver y successful,” said Leslie Lewis, U.S. coordinator for Gogo Grandmothers, adding since the gift card program began a month ago there have been at least 200 purchased. The giver submits his or her name and address, along with that of the recipient. The organization then mails out a card telling the receivers that
the selected gift was given in their name to an African family. Another option is for the card to be sent to the giver, if that person wants to present it in another fashion. The group also of fers other gift items through its online store at www.gogograndmothers.com. These include a cookbook, handmade jewelry and note cards, ranging in price from $8 to $18. Proceeds also benefit the families. Lewis said these fundrais-
ers are “critical” right now because Malawi experienced a severe drought last year and the next harvest is not until March. “It has been reported that over 2 million will starve without assistance,” Lewis said. “We have 363 gogos (word for grandmother in Africa), many who are raising the orphans from the AIDS pandemic, and 19 child-headed households, out of about 2,000 we work with in our sponsored villages who are out of food because of the drought.” Gogo Grandmothers, part of the non-government organization SAFE (Sub-Saharan Africa Family Enrichment), was founded in 2006. It sponsors 15 villages between its chapters in five states. The San Diego North County Inland chapter — serving Rancho Bernardo and Poway — formed in November 2010. The chapter has 18 members who meet at 10 a.m. on the first Monday of the month at an RB member’s home. There are no dues and the group holds two large fundraisers a year, typically a garage sale. During meetings the group prays for the fami-
lies it assists and gets updates on various projects. Members and friends sponsor families for $15 or $30 a month. Earlier this year, the chapter sent a 40-foot container “filled to the brim with school supplies, blankets for children, wheelchairs, etc.,” Lewis said, adding the 1,000 blankets were made by members. The bin also had used park playground equipment. A teacher at Stone Ranch Elementary School donated 1,000 paint sets, given to the children in Malawi “who have never seen paints or a paint brush before,” she said. Members also painted zebras, trees and other colorful designs on the container. When it arrived in Malawi in August, her son, Jon Lewis, traveled there to retrofit it so it could be turned into a building. This included installing a door and windows. The building will be a SAFE Haven for orphans and vulnerable children. The playground equipment was set up nearby. For details on Gogo Grandmothers activities or to join, call Lewis at 760-500-4311 or go to www.gogograndmothers.com.

Glassblowing classes make holiday gifts BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT
THEY CARE — The Poway 4-H Club, posing with collected toys, books and games for the ABC10 Toy Drive. The group collected some and purchased others with money donated by parents and the members themselves. Toys donated to the ABC10 Toy Drive will be given to the Salvation Army to be distributed across the country.
RB Sunrise Rotary donates to Valley Elementary The Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club recently co-hosted a breakfast, winter craft fair and holiday gift giveaway at Valley Elementary School in Poway for hundreds of area families needing a little extra Christmas cheer. Working alongside school staff and members of their sister club from Tijuana, 12 Rancho Bernardo Rotarians gave up their Saturday morning to provide breakfast, holiday gifts, wrapping and good cheer to those needing it most. “It’s an amazing experience to get up a little early, work a little harder, give a little more, and make so many lives a little bit bet-
ter,” said event coordinator Mark Berdan. Berdan and his team worked with numerous area merchants to provide food, supplies and gift items for Poway’s families in need. “There’s a hidden population that needs an extra boost now and again — people who, through no fault of their own, are finding it tough to provide that holiday gift for their family members,” said club President Paul Sullivan. “This is why RB Sunrise Rotarians do their fundraising year-round — so that we’re able to fund programs of this sort.” More information about the RB Sunrise Rotary can be found online at www.rbsunrise.org.

If you’re looking for outof-the-ordinary gifts this season, how about this: an ornament-making class at Stone and Glass in Rancho Bernardo? Or a special group tour of Garry Cohen’s Glass Ranch in Escondido — bring your own group — including glassblowing demos? No one on your gift list will say they have one of those! And you can’t beat the hot glass experience, watching someone twirl a fiery blob of molten sand on the tip of a slim metal rod, plunge it into the “glory hole” of a 2,000-degree furnace to keep it pliant, then tweak it with tools that look like they came from the Iron Age, thrust it back into the glory hole, tweak it and pull it and paddle and thrust it, again and again, always twirling, in a mesmerizing fire dance that could easily end with a “Floor Model” — a shattered mess of too-cooleddown glass — but comes instead to a grand finale with the rod held aloft to show off a beautifully colored and shaped piece that’s ready to be tempered overnight in a 900-degree kiln. Even more exciting (though not quite as graceful) is getting to do it yourself. Two North County craftsmen, with spaces, equipment, and apprentices reminiscent of Renaissance masters, are known for opening their studios to watchers and doers, giving novices a chance to try their hands at off-hand glassblowing, an art form that dates back more than 2,000 years. James Stone, who set up his Stone and Glass studio at Bernardo Winery a dozen years ago, has been blowing glass for almost three decades. “I know the glassblowing experience changes your life,” he said. “It changed mine. I got hooked at Palomar College, like just about every glassblower in San Diego County, and every week I drink out of that first glass I made with my teacher, Garry Cohen, to remind me I’m still on the journey.”
James Stone set up his Stone and Glass studio at Bernardo Winery a dozen years ago. A Jersey boy who started out as a prop-maker for TV and movies, Stone had to leave the trade after a serious injury. He made his way to San Diego, where he now creates fantasy hot glass furniture, sculptures, and pieces of public art and enjoys sharing his passion with interested students, both young and old. “Kids are fearless,” he said. “They’re not afraid of the fire. Adults come in, and they’re afraid. For me, it’s all about taking them on the journey, so when they go out, everyone has a smile on their face.” In the world of San Diego glassblowers, all roads lead to Garry Cohen, head
of Palomar College’s glassblowing program for the past 20 years. It’s a small world; Cohen calls it “The Brotherhood of the Burning Sands.” And it all began with Val Sanders, who started the program in 1969. Cohen began as a potter and jeweler, but once he discovered hot glass, he was hypnotized by the process. He opens his studio and gardens to the public two weekends a year, at Thanksgiving and Mother’s Day, so hundreds can have the Glass Ranch Experience for themselves. “It’s my Field of Dreams,” he said. “If you build it, they will come.”

DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales and Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting and Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com (Click on the link for “Advanced Search” to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above.

On December 26, 2012, at 10:00am, Cal-Western Reconveyance Corporation, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded May 24, 2005, as Inst. No. 2005-0435052 in book XX, page XX of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, State of California, executed by Michael L. Goodison and Mary Ellen Goodison, Trustees of the Goodison Family Trust, or any successor Trustee, under a Declaration of Trust, dated July 21, 2003, or any Amendments thereto, will sell at public auction to highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the financial code and authorized to do business in this state: At the entrance to the East County Regional Center by statue, 250 E. Main Street, El Cajon, California, all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: Completely described in said Deed of Trust The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 14532 Springvale Street, Poway CA 92064. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied,
regarding title, possession, condition or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $392,587.52. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (619)590-1221 or visit the internet website www.rppsales.com, using the file number assigned to this case 1362138-31. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web Site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. For sales information: (619)590-1221. Cal-Western Reconveyance Corporation, 525 East Main Street, P.O.
