BY EMILY SORENSEN Poway Unified School District’s new superintendent is asking that her divided board give her a chance to show she’s the right leader for the district. “(All I ask) is to be given a chance and the opportunity to show that I’m the right leader (for PUSD) and be given the opportunity to do the right work for the job,” Dr. Marian Kim-Phelps said in an interview last week. “Hopefully,

everyone can put aside personal preferences and politics to work together. If that doesn’t happen, I will continue to work to improve our schools and make this district Dr. Marian great again.” Kim-Phelps Kim-Phelps, previously the superintendent of the K-8 Westminster School District in

Orange County, was confirmed as the district’s new superintendent at the March 7 board meeting, with board members Kimberley Beatty and Charles Sellers casting dissenting votes both to hire her as the superintendent and to approve her contract. Beatty and Sellers also voted last month against approving her as the finalist for the position. Despite coming in to a divided board, Kim-Phelps said her goal and aspiration

is to help the board and the district come together as an effective governance team. She said she believes all the board members have the best interest of the district and students at heart and she hopes her coming in as superintendent will represent a fresh start for the board and the district. Restoring the community’s faith in a district damaged by controversy is a high priority for Kim-Phelps. “I am SEE SUPERINTENDENT, A10

The Mighty Untouchables will perform at the April 23 Gala of Music benefiting the Rancho Bernado High instrumental music program.

April 23 gala to benefit RB High musicians Discounted tickets available through March BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The community is invited to an event next month that will benefit Rancho Bernardo High’s instrumental music program. The second annual Gala of Music will begin at 4 p.m. Sunday, April 23 at Maderas Golf Club, 17750 Old Coach Road in Poway. It will feature music performed by The Mighty Untouchables, a cocktail hour, catered dinner, cash bar and silent auction. Tickets are $85 per person or $75 if purchased by March 31. A table for 10 is $700. The deadline to purchase tickets is April 16. To purchase, go to RBMusic.org. This is an adults-only event. Christine Wojcik, RBHS Music Boosters president, said organizers hope that up to 250 people will attend. Among the silent auction items available will be a violin valued at $1,200 donated by Bertrand’s Music, four Disneyland Resort tickets and tickets to a Broadway San Diego show. She said the group is trying to raise around $6,000 to cover the instrumental music program’s expenses for this school year and for the 2017-18 school year. In all, she said the RBHS Music Boosters — a 501(c)3 non-profit that supports the more than 270 students in the band, orchestra and color guard programs — typically must fundraise more than $200,000 each year to supplement what the Poway Unified School District provides. The gala is just one of many ways to group raises money. Wojcik said the district covers the cost of a band director and some travel expenses, but it is a small budget and not enough to support the award-winning program. The boosters provide outside coaches and professional musicians brought in to

work with the students, costs associated with putting on a marching band show, music scores, tournament fees and much of the travel associated with competitions. She said the group also provides instruments, which in some cases date back to the band’s formation when the school opened in 1990. “Our instruments are quite old and we’re now in the position of needing to start replacing those that have gone beyond their life expectancy,” Wojcik said. While parents are asked to contribute to the program, she said “not all parents can contribute and we can’t require them to pay for their student to play. Our goal is to give the kids a great opportunity that they might not have otherwise.” Officials said more than 10 percent of RB High’s 2,300-plus students are involved in the school’s instrumental music and color guard programs. They said the benefits of participation extend into other aspects of academic life, citing a study by the National Association for Music Education that linked music education with students’ improvement in reading skills and higher grade point averages and spatial reasoning abilities. Other benefits reportedly include boosting students’ creativity, collaboration, confidence and critical thinking. RB High’s program has won several championships at the local and state levels and performed in the Rose Parade and at Disneyland. Wojcik said in addition to purchasing tickets for the gala, community members can support the program by becoming a gala sponsor or making a donation to the silent auction. For details, contact her at president@rbmusic.org.

Parole denied for man convicted of brutal 1993 Poway murder BY J. HARRY JONES Parole has been denied for a 64-year-old man who 24 years ago shot his former fiance 20 times in front of horrified coworkers outside a dental office in Poway. Daniel Dorescenzi pleaded guilty in 1995 to the March 4, 1993, murder of Beverly Mertz and was sentenced to 40 years-to-life in prison. The deal was struck just as a death penalty jury was about to be seated. With credits earned while incarcerated, Dorescenzi was up for parole Tuesday. The parole board, following a hearing held at Folsom State Prison, denied the request for five years, said Deputy District Attorney Cindy Windsor. "He (Dorescenzi) still shows no remorse and still blames the victim for his actions," Windsor said. The parole board panel deemed Dorescenzi to still be a threat to public safety, she said At the time of the killing, Mertz, 39, had recently broken off her engagement with

Dorescenzi, then 41, because he had beaten her. She obtained a temporary restraining order against him two weeks before her death. Prosecutors said the morning of the killing Mertz arrived at the Pomerado Road dental office where she worked and was chased in the parking lot by Dorescenzi who had been waiting for her and was carrying a rifle. He shot her multiple times as coworkers watched from behind windows. He then went back to his van, reloaded, and shot her many more times while she lay still on the ground. Dorescenzi drove off but was followed by an off-duty police officer. Sheriff’s deputies also gave chase before Dorescenzi drove back to the dental office and gave himself up. Court records would later show Dorescenzi had a long history of being abusive with women and children, including two ex-wives and former girlfriends who said they feared he was going to kill them. Jones writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Not even cancer can stop this dedicated volunteer Lila Hohrmann has not missed a shift in 25 years BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Lila Hohrmann is so dedicated to her volunteerism at Sharp Rees-Stealy Rancho Bernardo Medical Center that even recent lung cancer treatments did not keep her away from her welcome desk duties. She has reportedly not missed a single volunteer shift in her 25 years on the job. Hohrmann — a San Marcos resident who will turn 95 on Sunday — currently volunteers six or more hours per day, five days a week in Rancho Bernardo. “I like being with people and knowing (I’m) helping, doing some good for the people,” she said, adding, “It’s my medicine. When I’m at home I have pains and aches and have my mind on that.” Hohrmann said, “It’s a very enjoyable place. Everybody is so ... kind. I look forward to Monday mornings, coming to work.” She started a quarter century ago at Sharp’s first Rancho Bernardo clinic after retiring in order to care for her husband, Hans. “My husband was very ill, I was taking care of him and wanted to do something,” Hohrmann said. Before Sharp she volunteered in the soup kitchen at Interfaith Community Services, serving breakfast to the homeless for 2 1/2 years. When Hans died they had been married for 48 years.

Lila Hohrmann

SHARP REES-STEALY

She grew up on a farm in North Dakota and the couple moved to California in 1943 because her husband wanted to join the military. However, Hans was color blind, so he was not accepted, she said. Not wanting to go back to North Dakota, they decided to stay in San Diego. Hohrmann said she did not go to high school back home because “my parents said I did not need an education.” While living in San Diego she graduated from Hoover High School and attended a year of college before entering the workforce. For many years she was a bookkeeper and later a payroll supervisor for 26 years. With that career background, volunteering for clerical tasks at Sharp was a natural fit. She started by filing X-rays in

EVENT BRIEFS ACT bootcamp

the radiology department at Sharp’s first Rancho Bernardo clinic — the new one that opened last month is its third RB location — then switched to the mail room. Now she works at the welcome desk, printing labels for patients’ medical forms and answering questions. “She’s so dedicated to being here, helping the staff,” said patient liaison Gwen Norman, who has worked with Hohrmann for 20 years. “She is the best greeter and makes (patients) feel very welcome when they come through the doors. ... She’s a sweetheart.” Norman added, “The nurses so appreciate her doing tasks (that would) take their time away from patient duties. We appreciate everything she does.” Hohrmann said she has been a cancer survivor since age 23. Last July she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She started six weeks of radiation in November and by December her cancer was in remission. “I never missed a day’s work here,” she said, describing how she went straight from treatments to her volunteer shift. Her main goal was to see Sharp Rees-Stealy’s new Rancho Bernardo facility, which opened on Feb. 21. “My biggest thrill was coming into the new building,” she said. “When the doctor told me I had lung cancer I did not think I could come here.” As for her assessment, “I love it,” Hohrmann said. “I think it’s great, wonderful. It feels like a hotel, not a clinic.”

Because I Said So BY WENDY FAUCETT

Parenting by the seasons

he beginning of spring next week reminded me of John Rosemond’s theory of the seasons of raising children, and I am inspired to share it in order to offer a bigger picture as you raise your children. Season 1 begins when your child is born. It’s called the “Season of Service” because parents must orbit around their infant, making sure the baby’s needs are met and lasts until the baby is about 2 years old. Mom is usually in charge, while Dad acts as an assistant. The marriage relationship should always be the most important relationship in the family, but babies have a way of consuming much of new parents’ energy and attention Between Seasons 1 and 2 is a crucial transitional period during which the toddler is being treated to the first tastes of emancipation while Mom is converting from servant to leader. This happens between ages 2 and 3. It’s imperative that parents take every opportunity to teach their toddler to do things on their own, and then expect them to do it. From putting away their shoes to cleaning up their messes to helping around the house, this is the time that our little ones begin to learn about being responsible and respectful. They won’t necessarily like it, but it’s an essential step

towards becoming capable and developing self-worth. This transition should be a bumpy one as the dynamic in the family changes; there is so much for the toddler to learn, and so much for the parents to teach. Now that their child is no longer completely dependent on their services, they can take more time to be together in their roles as husband and wife. Season 2 begins around the child’s third birthday and lasts until age 13. Dr. Rosemond calls this the “Season of Leadership and Authority,” during which the child continues to take steps toward emancipation and the parents continue with the important goal of providing calm and confident discipline and unequivocal authority. A major goal in these years is to help the child develop self-restraint so that in the next season, he can govern himself. Unfortunately, Mom is convinced by our culture that to be a good mommy she must pay the most attention to and do the most for her children, and Dad either slips into the role of “buddy” to his children and/or continues as the parenting assistant. This is not good for anyone, as the marriage relationship suffers and the children continue to see their parents as servants. Season 3 is called the “Season of Mentoring,”

THANK YOU FOR VOTING cornerstone BEST MORTGAGE COMPANY 2016. We Happy lookaforward H ppy Holidays Htoohelping lidaysyou ffrom roinm2017

you can always count on cornerstone to be there for you!

and goes from ages 13 to 18. This is the time for your children to use all that great stuff they learned and practiced for 10 years! This is when self-reliance, restraint and responsibility really kick in. Without those qualities, and with parents who continue to orbit around their child, the teenage years are likely to be fraught with difficulty for all involved. The entitlement mentality Mom and Dad fostered becomes an inflated sense of self-esteem and ego, and the teenager becomes insufferably obnoxious, ornery and demanding, a toddler in perpetuity. My parents called it being “too big for my britches.” (Does anyone still say that?) Finally, Season 4 is that of “Friendship and Relationship.” Keep your eye on this prize – it’s worth the wait! Now you can be in a relationship with your children, as opposed to having a relationship. Our daughter was 7 when she yelled at me “I hate you!” I remember knowing I was doing the right thing for her, even though she didn’t like it at all. Her words were not hurtful and I didn’t take them personally. It would be a much different story if she told me that today. Now that we are in a relationship, my children’s opinions of me matter and the parenting decisions we make now include consideration for their feelings. Remember that your job is to take that adorable 2-year-old dictator and transform him into a well-mannered person who will become a good citizen and an asset to the world. Claim your rightful authority over your children, and go forward with this seasonal model as your guide. Faucett, a retired Poway Unified School District teacher, is a certified leadership parenting coach trained and endorsed by Dr. John Rosemond.

SO YOU CAN HEAR, BUT IT’S NOT CLEAR How your hearing works: Sound enters your ear canal through the air.

Hearing Problem #1 The ear canal’s job is to funnel sound to your ear drum. Sometimes the canal becomes plugged with wax , which mimics a hearing loss because it blocks sound from reaching your eardrum. Use of a cotton swab will pack wax even more. We will check for impacted wax with a video ear camera to see if this is a problem.

Sound Reaches Your Eardrum, which vibrates, starting a chain reaction.

The eardrum is located at the end of your ear canal. Your ear drum catches sound waves, vibrates, and begins a chain reaction. Your eardrum is connected to the first of three bones. We will check to ensure your eardrum is healthy.

The eardrum is connected to the first of three tiny bones. These bones are hinged and each causes the one next to it to move.

Hearing Problem #2 The three tiny bones of your inner ear conduct sound between your ear drum and your cochlea. Otosclerosis is the calcification of these bones, resulting in conductive hearing loss. About 10% of people have this type of loss.

This movement vibrates against the oval window in your cochlea, sending sound waves through this snail shaped organ.

Hearing Problem #3 The Cochlea is a snail-shaped organ containing thousands of living hair cells called stereocilia. A condition known as Sensorineural hearing loss (nerve type hearing loss) occurs when any of the hair cells become damaged.

Inside the cochlea are thousands of microscopic hair cells called stereocilia, and these hair cells sense the motion of sound waves.

About 90% of hearing loss is this type. A new hearing computer has now been released that is programmed specifically for the frequencies of hair cells that are damaged, resulting in improved speech understanding.

Tinnitus is the phantom sensation of ringing in the ears. It is the result of damaged or misfiring nerves between the cochlea and the brain. A specialist will identify the tone of your tinnitus and demo how the hearing computer may reduce it.

If You Could Unroll The Cochlea’s Tube In a healthy cochlea, all hair cells are alive and standing upright. As sound waves move through the fluid within the cochlea, each hair cell fires and sends an electrical impulse through the Eighth Nerve to the brain. healthy

FROM SUPERINTENDENT, A1 coming in with the right intent and the right heart to bring back integrity and trust to the district,” she said. Kim-Phelps also said she will ensure that students will be the district’s top priority. “Mynumer one belief is that (making children the priority) is critical to ensure that public schools are a place where children can thrive and succeed.” Kim-Phelps said her immediate goals as superintendent will be to get things moving again at the district. “A lot of things have been put on hold (since the firing of former Superintendent John Collins),” she said. “Things are frozen in a standing still state. Many district and (school) site leaders have been unable move forward on projects.” Hiring a new superintendent of business support services will also be an immediate goal for Kim-Phelps, as will figuring out what is and isn’t working at the district, she said. She will also be undertaking a “listening and learning” tour with district employees, teachers and community members to learn about the district and devise a strategic plan for making the district sustainable, stable and able to move forward. Long term, Kim-Phelps said she wants to build a stable and effective governance team and create fiscally stable, high-performing programs in the district. Kim-Phelps said her skills as a creative problem solver and her proven track record of achievement will help her succeed in these goals for the district. “Ironically, much of the work I did in Westminster is very similar to what needs to be done in PUSD,” she said. “Prior to (becoming superintendent at) Westminster, everyone was saying “Why are you going there? It’s so dysfunctional, this will

ruin your career.” I got similar calls about (the superintendent position at PUSD). I’m not worried because I’m going in to do the right work. I feel I am the right leader to bring together employees and help the district’s children.” Born and raised in Huntington Beach, Kim-Phelps originally moved to San Diego to study at UC San Diego for her bachelor’s degree. “I’ve been here (in San Diego) my entire adult life,” she said. Kim-Phelps earned her master’s in educational leadership from Point Loma Nazarene University and her doctorate from San Diego State University. She taught elementary and middle school in the San Diego Unified School District before becoming a vice principal and elementary school principal in the same district for 10 years. She then served as an area superintendent for the SDUSD for four years before taking over Westminster School District as superintendent four years ago. One added bonus in her new role as PUSD’s superintendent is no longer having to split her life between living in Orange County during the week and at her home in Rancho San Diego with her husband and 10-year-old daughter during the weekend. Kim-Phelps said her daughter remained in San Diego to finish elementary school, but they were debating whether to move her to Orange County for middle school. “We didn’t tell my daughter about going through the process (of applying in PUSD),” Kim-Phelps said. Instead, her daughter found out when watching the livestream of the February PUSD board meeting where it was announced that Kim-Phelps was the finalist candidate. “She jumped up and said, ‘What? Mommy’s coming back to San Diego?’ I’m absolutely happy to be here with my family.”

FROM PAGEANT, A1 training, walking coaching, self-defense classes and a makeup seminar at Nordstrom’s. They have also volunteered at two events, the San Diego Walk for Animals and a “Reading Across America” held at Valley Elementary School’s after-school homework club, where the girls read to the young club participants. More than just a beauty pageant, the Miss Poway and Miss Teen Poway Scholarship Pageant aims to find young women who will act as youth ambassadors to the city of Poway, according to Sharon Gruber, the pageant’s director and event coordinator. During their year-long reigns, the three queens and their courts will spend between 150 to 200 hours doing community service and personal appearances around Poway and Rancho Bernardo as well as around San Diego County. Tickets for the pageant, which is being held at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, 15498 Espola Road, are $10 and can be purchased by contacting tickets.misspoway@gmail.com, from a contestant or at the door. This event tends to sell out so door tickets may not be available.

THE MOST IMPORTANT CLASS YOU NEVER TOOK Can you recall being back in high school, sitting in class and wondering why you were learning something that you were never going to use in life? Maybe something like geometry or ancient history comes to mind. I think one subject that should’ve been required, but wasn’t even oﬀered, is personal ﬁnance.

The goal of this class is to teach you how to:

Personal ﬁnance is such an important subject as it aﬀects everyone and a single misstep can have disastrous consequences.

• Evaluate the best time to convert your IRA to a Roth IRA

Most people can think back upon some financial mistake they had made over their lifetime and lament “If only I had known.” Who here has made an investment that seemed like a good idea at the time only to have it turn south, and keep heading south? When I tell people that if something sounds too good to be true, it is, I get the most affirmative nods the older the person. That is not to say you shouldn’t take risks, but rather you should understand the risks before you make the investment. Finances seemed too easy when we were younger. My main decision when I got my allowance as a youngster mainly centered around whether to buy baseball cards or candy. As I progressed through school, the message was to work hard and get good grades. That in turn would lead to a job, where I would be a loyal employee and be rewarded in retirement via a pension and Social Security. How did that work out? Most people aren’t drawing pensions, and social security is under financial strain. On top of that, people are living longer. What does all this mean? Quite simply, the burden of financing your retirement is up to you. On top of that, you need to have your money last longer, given increases in longevity. Whether you have an interest in financial planning or not, it is your responsibility to look out for yourself. Simply hoping that it will all work out somehow and not planning your retirement is not a strategy. To help people who have questions about their retirement, I am offering a FREE class to help answer some basic retirement questions. This is not a dinner and sales pitch, so make sure you eat before attending. If you are at or near retirement, this class is for you. If you can think of 100 other things you would rather do than think about your investments, this class is for you. If you are worried about outliving your money, this class is for you. If you just want to gain a better understanding of some important financial planning concepts, this class is for you.

• Identify the main risks to outliving your money • Manage your retirement income to maintain your standard of living • Determine your optimal Social Security withdrawal age

• Calculate how long your money needs to last • Match your investments with your needs, goals, and risk tolerance • Consider the impact of taxes on your withdrawal strategy • Tabulate your IRS mandated – required minimum distribution (don’t worry, no geometry needed) These topics, plus a whole lot more will be covered in the class. For your convenience, the class will be oﬀered at 2 diﬀerent times. Unlike some of those high school courses, this class promises to be full of information that you can and should use in life. And the best part is there is no test. I hope to see you there and please RSVP.

EDITORIAL

Time to end recycling fee?

he Rancho Bernardo Community Council is right on point in suggesting that state lawmakers consider eliminating the California Redemption Value system. In effect since 1986, the CRV system requires purchasers of beverage containers to pay between 5 and 10 cents per container as a deposit that, in theory, can be redeemed by the purchaser when he or she turns the empty container into a recycling center. The law says the center must be either on site where the beverage is purchased or within one-half mile of the store. Otherwise, the law calls for the seller of the beverage container to either accept the returned ones or face a $100-per-day fine. While the CRV program is commendable in its goals, to remove recyclable containers from the trash steam, it has become flawed because the state’s subsidy payment program, meant to help recycling centers survive market fluctuations, has failed to keep up with rapid decreases in the value of plastic, glass and aluminum. As the council’s letter to Assemblyman Brian Maienschein and Senator Toni Atkins notes, more than a fifth of the recycling centers in the state closed last year, diminishing the access to recycling the ability of customers to collect their deposits. In Rancho Bernardo, there are no longer any recycling centers, forcing residents to drive to either Poway or Escondido to obtain their CRV refunds. The two Poway locations have limited hours of operation. The required additional effort likely results in the center-bound containers instead being tossed in a curbside recycling bin. At that point, the “deposit” becomes a tax, which was not the intended purpose of the state program. A better idea, the letter suggests, would be for the state to drop the CRV fees and require curbside recycling of beverage containers in all cities and counties, as is the case in Rancho Bernardo (City of San Diego) and Poway. It’s an idea well worth consideration.

OUR READERS WRITE Columnist ‘divisive, bigoted’ I thought that I would give Harry Levine a second chance after his name-calling, rhetorical, premier article “Liars, Cheaters and Gamers.” His accusatory tone and lack of substantiation made me think that he was only venting his one-sided, subjective views, not writing facts for readers’ education. His second column (March 2) intensified his hypocritical tone as he puts the individuals in boxes that he uses as examples. I have learned to live by the saying, “If you point a finger there are three more pointing back at you.” Mr. Levine’s articles are divisive and bigoted. This is not what we need in our community paper. Linda West Rancho Bernardo

Critics ‘off their meds’ Columnist Dick Lyles (Feb. 23) got it right about how Democrats have ramped up the disrespect and hatred toward our new president. They need to stop it here and now. I doubt a “respectable liberal” exists to regain “footing.” They have lost their collective minds. It is enjoyable, however, to watch Mrs. Pelosi in her delusional state say

that she won’t “be able to work with President Bush” these days, and she thinks “John Kasich is the governor of Illinois.” Also humorous is Maxine Watters spouting off about “Putin invading Korea.” They have obviously gone off their meds. President Trump is working tirelessly to restore and revive authentic American values that were mangled almost beyond recognition. He is single-handedly reviving the values of life, law and order, religious freedom, national sovereignty and pride. I salute his backbone and courage. We definitely need more of both in these times. Thanks, Mr. Lyles for discussing the topic. Mary Gallegos Poway

Consider This BY BARRY CRONIN

Remembering ‘Jane Roe’

n Feb. 18, while the rest of the world was pondering President Trump’s latest “bizarre comment of the day” regarding something dreadful that supposedly happened “last night in Sweden,” Norma Leah McCorvey died of heart failure in the small Texas town of Katy. She was 69 years old. Few of us took notice, even though her universally recognized name is stamped onto the libido of every single American woman and man above the age of consent. More precisely, that would have been her pseudonym, “Jane Roe.” Norma McCorvey was the “Roe” of Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court abortion rights case that declared a woman's right to privacy under the due process clause of

the 14th Amendment included her decision to have an abortion. Her antagonist in those proceedings was Henry Wade, a World War II Navy veteran, former FBI agent and district attorney for Dallas County, Texas. In addition to Roe, Wade was responsible for the successful prosecution of Jack Ruby, the killer of Lee Harvey Oswald, the former Marine who shot President John Kennedy to death. Henry Wade died in 2001 at the age of 86. One would think the passing of such a pro-choice icon would have been widely memorialized throughout the news. But the story barely made prime time, ostensibly swallowed up in the media’s feeding frenzy

So Cal Focus BY THOMAS ELIAS

Green groups unhappy with Brown

rom the day Republican President Donald Trump won last fall’s election, Gov. Jerry Brown has worked to position himself as the leader of the loyal opposition, saying time and again that he will fight for the liberal agenda so popular in California, from same sex marriage to climate change activism. He’s especially vocal about preserving the state’s ability to move on its own to improve air quality and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases most scientists have found are a prime cause of climate change and global warming. So it was a little startling when 12 environmental and public interest groups published a report the other day questioning Brown’s green credentials, claiming he consistently lives down to his name: “Brown” on everything from oil drilling to preventing toxic emissions and promoting an overcapacity of fossil-fueled, greenhouse gas-spewing electric plants. That last may have been the biggest surprise, considering Brown’s frequent posturing as a champion of renewable energy, especially power from

wind and solar sources. Despite his frequent words, the 12 groups say California now derives 60 percent of its power from fossil fuels, mostly natural gas, while in 2012, just after Brown took office for the second time, the state was getting just 53 percent of its electricity from such “dirty” sources. What’s more, the groups charged in their 56-page report, Brown systematically encourages a glut of power plants that sees consumers pay for about 20 percent more generating capacity than the state will ever need in the foreseeable future. The accusing groups include Consumer Watchdog, Food & Water Watch, Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Restore the Delta, among others. Restore the Delta has long opposed Brown’s “twin tunnels” plan to bring Northern California river water around the Sacramento-San Joaquin river delta, while Consumer Watchdog previously issued a report accusing Brown of political corruption. As with past reports like that, Brown has said nothing about

the claims against him, thus assuring they got little publicity. “Same drivel, different day,” press secretary Evan Westrup opined. But the claims in the environmental report appear every bit as solid as those in the previous corruption allegations, the subject of an ongoing investigation by a state watchdog agency. Food and Water Watch is particularly incensed about the apparent acquiescence of Brown appointees in plans of Southern California Gas Co. to reopen its flawed Aliso Canyon gas storage field in northern Los Angeles, even if it’s at somewhat lower levels of gas quantity than SoCal Gas finds optimal. The group noted that Brown’s sister, Kathleen, the former state treasurer, draws a six-figure fee as a board member of SoCal’s parent company, Sempra Energy, saying that makes his actions or inaction - on Aliso a conflict of interest. The report also castigates Brown for “nurturing (oil and gas) drilling and fracking,” repeating a contention that early in his term he fired

over the president’s unusual press conference from the day prior. Or could there have been another reason this important story was all but ignored? Turns out, Norma McCorvey was not the woman many thought she was. Even though her famous pseudonym will be linked forever to a woman’s right to abortion, she died a Roman Catholic who spent the last 20 years of her life a pro-life activist. She even attempted to have Roe v. Wade overturned. Perhaps that may have had something to do with the dearth of coverage. The remarkable story of her journey from unmarried, 21-year-old abortion seeker in 1969 to pro-life activist two decades later is both tragic and inspiring. “Dysfunctional” does not even begin to describe her early life. The product of a broken home, she experienced abuse, domestic violence and rape. She committed a robbery. She spent time in reform school for girls. She struggled with alcohol and drugs. Hers was not a Pollyanna childhood. Not surprisingly, her life began to change following the release of Roe v. Wade. She eventually co-authored two different books. “I am Roe” tells the story of her earlier, pro-choice days. In “Won by Love” a now pro-life Jane Roe “speaks out for the unborn as she shares her new conviction for life.” Interestingly, McCorvey herself never had an regulators who tried to delay hydraulic fracking for gas and oil in Kern County until there were assurances that waste water from those operations would not harm ground water supplies often used for crop irrigation. The report claimed Brown is living out his 2012 statement that “The oil rigs are moving in Kern County…we want to use our resources (including) the sun and all the other sources of power. It’s not easy. There are going to be screw-ups, there are going to be bankruptcies, there’ll be indictments and there’ll be deaths, but…nothing is going to stop us.” So far, there have been no indictments, but former Brown-appointed members of the state Public Utilities Commission have been under investigation since early 2015 by federal and state authorities. The green groups noted that Democratic U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein endorses a state legislative bill to keep Aliso Canyon closed until the causes of the storage field’s months-long leak in 2015 and 2016 are found and fixed. Brown is silent on that bill. None of these claims has yet affected either Brown’s approval ratings or his policies. No one yet knows if the contradictions cited between his posturing and his actions will sully his legacy, his standing in state history or his prospects in a potential future run for the Senate. Which means all anyone can do is stay tuned. Elias is a syndicated columnist. Reach him at tdelias@aol.com.

abortion. Her three grown children would be middle-aged by now. Many people will never come to admire Norma McCorvey. Before her conversion to Christianity, pro-life advocates insulted and threatened her. After her conversion, she was described as a money grubbing, wheeler-dealer who talked out of both sides of her mouth. Her long-time lesbian partner called her a “phony.” Norma McCorvey was anything but the perfect woman. Here is what I think. Regardless of one’s own position on the right-to-life versus pro-choice debate, we owe Norma McCorvey at least some recognition and respect. She lived a hard life. She was used and abused by people. At times, she was her own worst enemy. But this fact will remain. She may be gone, but her name and her feet will continue to straddle the most contentious social issue of our time. Pro-choice supporters will dismiss her as an unsophisticated woman who was led astray by unscrupulous, anti-abortion radicals. Pro-life supporters will celebrate her as a sinner who ultimately came to see the light. And the unborn babies who will be given a chance at life because of her story? They will name her a patron saint. Cronin is a Poway resident and is the safety officer at MCAS Miramar.

FROM LETTERS, A16 United States. Would it not be better if replies to the editor such as these be directed to daily newspapers or other national publications? Let’s keep Poway as the “City in the Country.” Ron Sawzak Poway

A history lesson The United States of America is the original “interfaith team,” founded by leaders who fled religious intolerance and persecution to establish a free, pluralistic nation. For this country to officially ban, effectively shun and complacently remain silent about the widespread persecution of people based on their religious beliefs is antithetical to the goals of our country’s founders. Therefore, on behalf of our interfaith nation, we expect the following from American leaders whom we have entrusted as valued public servants: 1) They must uphold and exemplify the values of open-mindedness, acceptance and respect by supporting those who share those values and seek religious freedom. 2) They must publicly disavow and define as “hate crimes” any actions or disseminations of propaganda that threaten the rights of others to peacefully practice their faith. 3) They must actively prohibit and punish as a criminal act the religious persecution of people and the desecration of their hallowed places.

Poway — Dr. Kendra Jeffcoat passed peacefully at home with her husband Jay, son Ryan and beloved dog Buddy, after a threeday visit of her daughter, Kasey. Kendra fought a miraculous four-year battle of Stage IV lung cancer, which metastasized to the brain with a Grand Mal Seizure on January 6, 2013. Born in Glen Ellyn, Ill, Kendra moved with her parents, Norma and Harley Kasell, to Los angeles where Norma managed Kim Novak’s Hollywood career. Kendra attended Birmingham H.S. in Encino, where she was an active student leader, head song leader and homecoming queen. She graduated with honors from H.S. and entered UCSB. at UCSB she pledged Kappa alpha Theta, was Secretary of the Isla Vista League and became Executive assistant to the a.S. Student Body President (who three years later became her husband, Jay). From her high school involvement in the Masonic youth organization, Rainbow Girls, Kendra was elected to the California statewide position of Grand worthy advisor. She traveled throughout the state, deferring her junior year at the University, giving motivational and leadership speeches to Rainbow assemblies. Kendra Jeffcoat served as a community college faculty member in Speech, English and Psychology for 25 years, and a community

college administrator for 13 years. She served as Dean of the School of Social/Behavioral Sciences and Multicultural Studies at Mesa College from 2000-2003, before spending a year as the District’s Interim assistant Chancellor of Instructional Services and Economic Development. During her long career in community colleges, she also served as Interim Dean of Student affairs (Grossmont College), and Vice President of academic Services (Imperial Valley College). She worked as a member of the Management Development Commission of the association of California Community College administrators (aCCCa) and as a member of the Faculty association of California Community Colleges Board of Governors. Most recently, Kendra served as an assistant Professor of San Diego State University’s Department of administration, Rehabilitation, and Postsecondary Education,

where she taught in its community college doctoral program. She also led the San Diego and Imperial Counties’ Community Colleges association (SDICCCa) Internship program for several years. Even after her medicallyrequired retirement, two and a half years after her diagnosis, Kendra continued her service to the District, often serving as a facilitator for Board and Cabinet retreats, as well as the 2014 joint meeting of the San Diego Community College District and the San Diego Unified School District governing boards. She was also active in service to her community, having served as Club President of the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary, and was recently honored with the Paul Harris Fellow + 6. Kendra served as a Board member of the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation and Chair of the Board of the Poway Chamber of Commerce. She was a long time member of her beloved PEo sisterhood in both El Centro and Poway/ RB (Chapter UU). She was an active member of the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church, serving on two Pastor Nominating Committees, the Personnel Committee and recently as a Stephen Minister. Kendra began her college career at UCSB before transferring to UCLa, where she

earned a Bachelor and Master of arts degree in Speech Communication. She received a second Master of arts degree in Psychology from Connecticut College before receiving her Ph.D. in Industrial organizational Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology. Kendra is survived by her husband of 48 years, Jay Jeffcoat of Rancho Bernardo, Ca; daughter, Jessica “Kasey” Jeffcoat Fritz, husband Lance, and grandchildren, Nicholas, Gabi and Jack of San antonio, TX; son, Ryan Jeffcoat of San Diego, Ca; brother, John Kasell of Costa Mesa, Ca; sister, Kristen Nikosey, husband Tom, of Bell Canyon, Ca; and three nieces and a nephew.

HAYNE PALMOUR IV/U-T

Poway’s Blake Wagenseller, a Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo commit, is on the radar of professional scouts.

Calvin Mitchell, who hit 12 home runs last season, is just one of several solid hitters for the Broncos.

Pitcher Parker Askegreen returns for his senior season at Del Norte.

Prep Baseball Preview

RB High, Poway lead area full of talent BY MICHAEL BOWER Football and basketball in the Palomar League came down to Rancho Bernardo High and Poway. Baseball could end up being the same. The defending league champion Broncos enter the week ranked No. 12 in the nation by MaxPreps and boast one of the top pitching staffs and offenses in the county. But right there with just as much talent on the mound and at the plate are the Titans. Del Norte hopes to make a splash in its first season in the Palomar League and Maranatha Christian should challenge for a Pacific League title. Here is a closer look at the local teams:

Rancho Bernardo

■ Coach: Sam Blalock, 27th year ■ 2016 Record: 24-10, Palomar League champions, 2-2 in Open Division playoffs ■ 2017 Division: I ■ Key players: OF, Tora Otsuka, Sr.; SS, Alika Williams, Sr.; P/1B, Joey Magrisi, Jr.; OF, Calvin Mitchell, Sr.; C, Connor O’Brien, Jr.; 2B, Kiichi Sato, Sr.; P, Mason Pelio, Jr.; P, Jamison Hill, Sr.; 1B, Tyler Dean, Sr.; P, Brian Marquez, Sr.

Over 33 Years Practicing in San Diego

Law offices of Robert A. Smykowski Attorney-At-Law

■ Outlook: The Broncos are ranked No. 12 in the nation by MaxPreps and are loaded for a run at the Open Division title. Rancho Bernardo came up just short of reaching the final last year, but return a lineup full of power and a deep, hard-throwing pitching staff. Outfielder Mitchell, who signed with USD but many expect him to go early in the 2017 MLB Draft, leads the way at the plate. The lefty hit .317 with 12 home runs last season and opened the year with a blast in his first game. Otsuka, who also signed with USD, has some pop. He hit .404 with five home runs and 28 RBIs. Arizona State-bound Williams will be another tough out, as the senior hit .320 with 21 RBIs last season. The Broncos are expected to score a lot of runs, but has a pitching staff that will not likely need many. Hill, who already tossed a complete-game shutout, Pelio and Marquez all have the ability to throw in the upper-80s and occasionally touch 90 mph. Magrisi, who is battling an arm injury right now, will bolster the staff when he is able to return. “We are not sure pitching wise when he will be back,” Blalock said of Magrisi. “He has been cleared to play.” The Broncos are the favorite in the Palomar League, but Poway should be right there to make it exciting.

Weese, Blaszyk and Olivio lead a pitching staff that will not record many strikeouts, but should be able to shutdown offenses by pitching to contact and letting the defense work. “Our key will be just not to walk anyone,” Parry said. The offense will be powered by Wagenseller, who is on the radar of professional scouts. The senior hit .348 with a pair of home runs last year. Dooney, a University of Arizona commit, and Donnelly will also be tough outs for the Titans, who last SEE BASEBALL, B4

Athlete of the Week

The way Poway native Plum became NCAA scoring champ was ‘electric’ BY TOD LEONARD ykonos Greek Grill is a neighborhood restaurant on the edge of Green Lake, just to the northwest of the University of Washington campus in Seattle. The place is small enough that when 20 people decked out in Huskies purple came through the door on Feb. 25, a Saturday night, the waiters had to push tables together to accommodate the group. The Plum family and their friends hadn’t come to party, but just relax and spend time together, and Mykonos served that up. No one seemed to make a fuss about the presence among them of the serene brunette, who just a couple of hours earlier had become the leading scorer in Division I women’s college basketball history with an incredible 57-point performance in a victory over Utah. Poway native Kelsey Plum wanted to catch up with her younger brother Dan, and her newly married oldest sister, Caitlyn. If basketball came up, Terri Bamford, Plum’s high school coach at La Jolla Country Day, doesn’t remember much about what was said. “I think,” Bamford would recall Sunday afternoon, “she was just relieved that it was all over.” Bamford and her assistant coach, Berry Randle, got to witness history by the luck of the draw. They were disappointed, thinking they’d have to miss Washington’s regular-season finale and Senior Night because LJCD would begin the CIF San Diego Section playoffs that Saturday. But the girls’ games were fortuitously flipped to Friday, so Bamford and Randle got a 24-hour hall pass to fly to Seattle. What they saw will stick with them for the rest of their lives. “As it got closer, I got teary-eyed,” Bamford admitted, “because I was thinking, ‘This is really going to happen.’ ” Added Randle: “We had a conversation when she was a freshman about her being the best player ever. To see her get to that point where all the work was paying off — it was exhilaration. It was electric.” Plum entered the game needing 54 points to surpass record-holder Jackie Stiles, and it figured that she’d put a big dent in that margin because she was averaging 30 points per game. Few imagined that she could break the mark that day because Plum had never scored 50 in a college game. But the Utes were contentious, and Plum had 22 points by

U-T FILE PHOTO

Poway native Kelsey Plum, left, is the new NCAA career scoring leader halftime. She added 16 more in the third quarter to give her 38. Then a huge shift in the game came with 8:18 left when UW center Chantel Osahor fouled out. “I told Coach Terri then, ‘She could get (the record) if she keeps her foot on the gas,’ ” Randle said. “I think she realized how close she was and she was going to finish it today.” Knocking down 3-pointers while scoring other baskets by racing end-to-end, Plum scored 19 of UW’s 22 points in the final 10 minutes, setting the new mark with time to spare with 4:09 left. The 57 points — only three shy of the NCAA women’s single-game record — gave Plum 3,397 for her career with the Pac-12 and NCAA tournaments still to be played. Only one male player in NCAA history notched more points than Plum — Pete Maravich, who leads her by 270. And yes, calculations say she could reach “Pistol Pete” by maintaining her 30-point average — against increasingly stiffer competition — while Washington reaches the NCAA title game. Plum must be rolling her eyes about that one. “In the most respectful way possible, I’m glad it’s over,” Plum said Saturday night about her record chase. “It was getting to the point where it was starting to be disheartening in a way because people expect so much. “I understand. I’m grateful for it. We’re going to talk about it and give it credit. But now that it’s behind us, I’m grateful for

that, too.” With little time to reflect after the game, Plum still managed to speak eloquently about how she arrived at No. 1. She reminisced about the “village” that raised her as a basketball kid in San Diego. Bamford and Randle were fortunate enough to watch it all live, but there were plenty of other people camped in front of their televisions who touched the life of a girl they all describe as uniquely driven. Marsha Kaminski, Plum’s first recreational coach in elementary school, has maintained a Kelsey display in her family’s well-known Poway restaurant, Kaminski’s BBQ & Sports Lounge. Plum’s middle-school club mentors at the San Diego Sol were Tony Allen, Amy Cleveland and Spartacus Harris. “Every single one of those people loves the game. They make it fun for kids to play,” Katie Plum, Kelsey’s mother, said Monday. “If any one of those situations had been different — because we’ve seen other kids have a bad experience and walk away — it might not have been the same.” Counted among the crossroads is Plum’s decision to attend La Jolla Country Day. Her two older sisters went to Poway High and were volleyball stars. Kelsey followed them to elementary and middle school, but felt the burden of their legacy. “She’s a pretty happy young lady, but she was really sad through middle school,” Katie said. “She just hated it. It was a rough patch in her life.” The Plums investigated the private schools in the city, but there was a front-runner all along — La Jolla Country Day. Years earlier, another Poway-area product, Candice Wiggins, chose LJCD, and she enjoyed a stellar prep career that took her to Stanford and the WNBA. The path was clear to Kelsey. “She had her own road she was carving,” Katie Plum said. “We SEE PLUM, B4

Local rosters loaded with star players BY MICHAEL BOWER There is plenty of star power to go around in the Palomar League this season, especially when it comes to Del Norte High, Poway and Rancho Bernardo. Each team boasts at least one player set to play at the next level. The Nighthawks will play their first season in the Palomar League, where Rancho Bernardo and Poway figure to battle it out for the crown. Last year’s league champion, Torrey Pines, is no longer in the league. Here is a closer look at the local teams:

final, winning it all in 2015 and falling just short to San Marcos last year. Poway graduated a lot of its power and will use its speed to try to manufacture runs more often than in the past few years. Still, there is pop in the lineup with returners Needham, Steele and Riley leading the way. Needham is committed to Santa Clara, Riley to Hawaii and Steele to Auburn. Like the start of last season, pitching will be a question mark. There will be a rotation of three (Braun, Jury, Haynes) and Bennet will then ride the hot hand into the playoffs. All three pitch to contact, but Poway plays superb defense and doesn’t give away runs often. “Our pitchers will need to do the same as last

Dahlberg, who had 130 strikeouts last season, can also swing it. The San Diego State-bound senior hit .456 last year. Boaz will also produce at the plate, as she hit .408 a year ago. Jusay provides speed on the bases and is a tremendous defender in the outfield. All of the pieces seem to be in place for Rancho Bernardo to make a run at the Palomar League

■ Coach: Steve Kuptz, 7th year ■ 2016 Record: 20-13-1, went 2-2 in Division II playoffs ■ Division: II ■ Key players: P/OF, Melissa Abrahamian, Sr.; P/OF, Anne Marie Prentiss, Sr.; SS, Shea Lane, Sr.; OF, Grace Roberts, Jr.; 3B/1B, Olivia Oppeltz, Jr. ■ Outlook: The Nighthawks, which will make their debut in the Palomar League this season, are coming off their first 20-win season since 2013.

Abrahamian tossed 80 innings last season and produced a 3.50 ERA, while Marie Prentiss carried a 2.61 ERA over 128.2 innings. The offense will be led by Shea Lane, who hit .327 with 20 RBIs last season. Oppeltz and Roberts should also provide a spark for the Nighthawks. The transition to the Palomar League would be tough for any school. The Nighthawks should be competitive, though, and could even fight for a spot near the top of the standings with the help of their strong pitching.

■ Coach: Rielly Embrey, 8th year ■ 2016 Record: 18-17, lost in Division III final ■ 2017 Division: III ■ Key players: Inf., Anthony Ullrich, Sr.; OF, Harrison Haber, Sr.; P/Inf., Parker Askegreen, Sr.; P/OF, Brady Grewe, Sr.; Inf./P, James Adamson, Jr.; SS, Noah Koehmstedt, Jr.; P/OF, Griffin Moody, Sr.; C/2B, Jack Dwyer, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Nighthawks, who are coming off back-to-back runner-up finishes in the Division III section playoffs, will make their debut in the Palomar League this season. There will be many new faces on the field for Del Norte, but one familiar face is that of Askegreen. The senior, who carried a 3.80 ERA last season, entered the week having tossed seven innings and not allowing a run. He leads a pitching staff that is off to a strong start. Grewe and Moody figure to be the other two starters, but Embrey said he may mix one more arm in there to allow for some extra rest. Del Norte boasts a solid lineup

offensively, led by Ullrich, Haber, Adamson and Keohmstedt. Entering this week, Ullrich is hitting .500 while Adamson and Koehmstedt are both hitting .444. The Nighthawks will be challenged playing in the Palomar League, but that might be just what they need to get over the top in the Division III playoffs. ****

Smith, who was the Pitcher of the Year in the Pacific League last season, and catcher Bridger give the Eagles a solid battery. Smith had a 0.44 ERA and struck out 68 batters in 48 innings last season. Hewitt, who hit .326 with 16 RBIs last year, provides the pop in the lineup. Newcomer Sparks and returner Godwin should also provide a lift offensively. Maranatha should challenge for the league championship along with defending champ Classical Academy and Tri-City Christian.

FROM PLUM, B2 just got out of the way.” Plum found coaches at LJCD who were willing to do whatever it took to help her improve her skills. Katie Plum drove Kelsey to school at 6 in the morning, and Bamford was there to open the gym. Randle stayed long after practice to break down every nuance. Randle recalls telling the girls on the team that he was willing to be pushed as hard as they were ready to push him. “Kelsey was not the kind of kid you want to make that statement to,” he recalled with a laugh. “She wore me and Coach out. I’d be trying to get out of there after practice, and she’d ask to stay. The other kids would say, ‘Kelsey’s your favorite.’ I’d say, ‘Not necessarily. She’s pulling it out of me.’ “The kid worked harder than anybody I’ve ever seen.” It was the same way in the Plum household, where sports ruled. Jim Plum starred in football at Helix High and played at San Diego State. Katie was a volleyball player at UC Davis. Caitlyn Plum played volleyball at Davis, and Lauren Plum had a volleyball career at Oregon and now plays professionally overseas. Dan Plum was a tight end at Cathedral Catholic and now is on the football team at Davis. None of them was as driven as Kelsey, Katie said. She recalled

standing in the kitchen at home when a pre-teen Kelsey declared that she would play for one of the top women’s basketball teams in the country. “I almost had to physically hold my mouth shut,” Katie said. “You have this little kid, and you feel like, gosh, this is a big dream. But I’m not going to tell her that. I just said, ‘OK, Kels, just let me know how I can help.’ ” One day, while in Kelsey’s room, Katie found a large notepad on which Kelsey had been meticulously charting her statistics for the free throws she was taking — not in games; in the backyard. “I thought, ‘Who does that?’ ” Katie recalled with a laugh. “No one even knew she was doing it. But that was her. I think she slept with a basketball. She’d work on her wrists in bed. When we traveled, she dribbled through airports.” The hours of work produced a player who is as well-rounded in the game as most high-level players — male or female. “To me, her game is reminiscent of what I see at the NBA level,” said Doris Burke, an ESPN analyst who has worked broadcasts in the NBA, WNBA and college. “She has solid athleticism and speed, but the most important thing is her understanding of the nuance of the game. She understands how to mix speed, how to keep the defense off balance, how the slightest

movement in body direction will get a defender leaning. “Her ability to put pressure on a defense from the moment the ball finds her hands is a thing of beauty.” Katie Plum hears those accolades and is pleased by them, but she holds onto other fond thoughts about Kelsey, too. She has seen her daughter patiently sign hundreds of autographs after games and recalls a trip years ago to the Women’s World Cup in soccer when a very famous and well-liked U.S. player blew off some kids. “I’ve told her, ‘You just remember who is in front of you,’ ” Katie said. “ ‘This is your one shot at giving them a memory. Don’t leave anybody with the memory that we got.’ ” Before a game this year, a couple of Pac-12 television announcers watched the Huskies’ shootaround in a near-empty arena. They called Katie over to say how impressed they were that Kelsey knew everyone’s name working around her. Heck, they said, she knew the names of the workers’ kids. “We want you to know,” they told Katie, “that we hope to raise a kid like that.” She proudly and politely thanked them, all the while knowing this: There’s only one Kelsey Plum.

April 1 comedy show in Rancho Bernardo is no joke Inaugural fundraiser to benefit RB’s Spirit of the Fourth festivities

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK It’s no joke — a comedy show will be held in Rancho Bernardo on April Fool’s Day. The inaugural event for “mature audiences” is a fundraiser benefiting Rancho Bernardo’s Spirit of the Fourth festivities. Spirit of the Fourth Co-President Myrna De La Peña said she is hoping it will raise at least $4,000. Professional stand-up comedians Bob Golub, Mike Ivy and Benny Ricardo have been booked for the Saturday, April 1 event. It will begin with dinner, drinks, a silent auction and raffle at 5 p.m., followed by the two-hour comedy performance from 6 to 8 p.m. in the RB Swim & Tennis Club, 16955 Bernardo Oaks Drive. Tickets are $25 per person, which includes dinner and one drink. The first 100 tickets sold will include a free raffle ticket. Tickets can be purchased in advance at Bob Worner Automobile Dealer, 17631 W. Bernardo Drive, Suite F; at the Ed Brown Center for Active Adults, 18402 W. Bernardo Drive in Rancho Bernardo Community Park; or via mail. For the latter, send a check — written to “Spirit of the Fourth” — to Box 28523, San Diego, CA 92198. For those buying by mail, include a return mailing address if different than the address on the check. De La Peña said tickets will only be available at the door if it is not sold out in advance. She called the event a “bargain” compared to spending an evening at local comedy clubs since the $25 includes dinner and a two-hour show. The dinner will include salad and pasta from Souplantation, wine from Koi Zen

Poway Symphony Orchesta concert is Sunday Concert will feature pieces by Mendelssohn, Schubert and Beethoven BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Symphony Orchestra will continue its season with a performance of audience favorites at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 19 at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, 15498 Espola Road. The orchestra will be performing three pieces beloved not only by Music Director John LoPiccolo but the orchestra members and audiences around the world as well, LoPiccolo said. The pieces are Felix Mendelssohn’s “Hebrides Overture, ‘Fingal’s Cave,’ Op. 26,” Franz Schubert’s “Symphony No. 8 in B minor, ‘Unfinished,’ D. 759,” and Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67.” LoPiccolo said these are all pieces he studied as a child and are old standards for him. “I thought no one would want to hear them, because they’ve been done so often, but the orchestra loved the program,” he said. The pieces were also selected because they are playable with the orchestra’s current size of about 40 players without having to import performers from outside of Poway. “We could have chosen huge pieces but we’re still growing,” he said. “We would have had to import players. With these, it’s mostly Poway players. We would really appreciate people coming out (to the concert) and supporting our Poway musicians.” The orchestra will finish its 2016-17 season with a concert in May featuring a performance with a choir and well as a performance by solo violinist Misha Vayman, the grandson of

The Poway Symphony Orchestra. famed violinist Mikhail Vaiman. The May concert will be the orchestra’s first time performing with a choir, said Bo Matthys, the orchestra’s publicity manager. Like the orchestra, the choir is organized through the Poway Adult School, under the director of Nancy Gray. The orchestra was founded by Concertmaster Ulli Reiner in 2004 and its mission is to fill a need for classical music performances in the community and provide a venue for musicians interested in playing in a full orchestra. Orchestra members register with the adult school every semester to be part of the orchestra and it is a mix of professional and amateur musicians performing and rehearsing in their free time. Several fundraisers for the orchestra have been held, including a recent one at Café

Merlot that raised $500. These funds are critical in helping the orchestra grow, said Matthys, including hiring solo musicians for concerts, obtaining new music to perform and expanding the program itself. LoPiccolo said he was “so happy” about the recent fundraiser and that they hope to keep holding fundraising events to keep the orchestra growing. This concert also brings a new way to buy tickets, which are $15 general admission, $12 seniors and $10 students. Tickets are available at the door as always, one hour before the concert, or they may be purchased at the orchestra’s website, powaysymphony.org, via PayPal, credit card or check and may be picked up at Will Call. Those wishing to do so may also mail a check to The Poway Symphony Orchestra Foundation, 17650 Stagecoach Lane, Poway, CA 92064.

PET OF THE WEEK KAY, a 1-year-old Domestic Short Hair

cat, is looking for a loving home to call her own. You know the saying “love is blind”? Well, I sure hope you believe it’s true. You see, ... Kay is blind and she is looking for a special home where she can feel safe and secure, and be given the time and patience she needs to adjust. This big, noisy world can feel rather scary and overwhelming to a shy kitty like her, and it may take a little while for her to show it, but we promise she has so much love to share with you. So what do you say? Are you the one to help this blind love truly shine? Kay is available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 East Valley Parkway. To learn more about adopting her, please call 760-888-2275.

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 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000006377659.

RB ROTARIANS DONATE KITS

COURTESY PHOTO

The Rancho Bernardo Rotary Club recently assembled and donated more than 100 hygiene kits valued at $25 each, plus several bags of additional toiletries, to Interfaith Community Services in Escondido. The kits were assembled by 15 members and delivered to Interfaith by Phil Warner and Vern Cook. Interfaith Community Services empowers people in need to stabilize and improve their lives through comprehensive programs. Its clients daily shower at the facility before returning into the community.

The Therapeutic Kitchen

hh, the heady aromas of fruit pies, cinnamon buns and chocolate chip cookies perfuming the house are both nostalgic and intoxicating. But the whole baking process to me, including measuring, blending, kneading, rolling, pouring, and decorating is a calming cakewalk (pardon the pun). As long as you follow directions closely, the end product will be divine. And even though creativity is limited by the fixed methodology, there is still some leeway, especially when doing the finishing touches. All-in-all, baking is a fine distraction or escape from your problems at hand. But the pièce de résistance — the masterpiece that emerges from the oven, gives a great feeling of accomplishment, and instant gratification. Then when serving the delight, you nurture with a slice of love, which tends to warm one’s own heart. But for those intimidated by baking, some “coping mechanisms” to help embrace the process, include using light-colored cookie sheets and pans to lessen the chance of burning the bottoms of cookies, crusts and cakes. Also, the middle oven rack, along with parchment paper, are a baker’s best friends to prevent overbrowning, and heavy-duty mitts will protect you from burns. It’s also OK to

Super Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Fondue ■ Ingredients: 1/2-cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4-cup hazelnut or almond milk, 1-teaspoon hazelnut extract, 20 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or chunks, 1/4-cup chocolate liqueur or Frangelico ■ Dippables: (Your choice) Dried apricots, pineapple chunks, tangerine segments, almond biscotti, jumbo strawberries, ladyfingers ■ Method: In a small saucepan on medium heat, bring cream to a soft boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Stir until melted. Blend extract and liqueur. If too thick, stir in milk. Transfer to fondue pot and arrange dipping items on a platter. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

cheat a little with ready-made (high-quality and organic) crusts, pie fillings and puffed pastries.

Baking vs Cooking

While baking’s more of a structured event, a symphony where the players

Super Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Fondue follow the maestro, on the other hand, cooking is a jazz improvisation with a lot more flurry and creativity. It’s still a good distraction from life’s worries, creating a calming effect. Yet, people angst over cooking, perhaps because they’re preparing dishes for others to judge. So to alleviate the stress of cooking for a crowd (and pull off a seamless dinner party or gathering), plot out a game plan. Compile a guest list with their dietary tastes and restrictions, then create a menu. Shop in advance, and buy local, seasonal, sustainable and organic, where possible.

COURTESY

Finally, prep and cook ahead. Some foods actually taste better days after they are made as flavors meld, developing a rich complexity. Many dishes can be frozen or refrigerated, then simply reheated on the day of the event. Now, how about some bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of 70 percent or higher to boost your mood, thanks to its high levels of antioxidants, namely polyphenols and flavonols. A recent Swiss study has also shown the darling to lessen stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. (See recipe above!)

Ask. Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

About that breakfast ...

ast December I offered free breakfast with me to one lucky reader. To earn this “honor,” you had to spend a week paying attention to the world around you. The assignment: Try to understand messages being sent, audiences being addressed, and why marketing efforts were (or weren’t) successful. My original plan was to award one breakfast. However, since only two people responded I decided to treat them both. Over the next few weeks I sent emails and made phone calls…to no avail. My outreach efforts to schedule dates were fruitless. Three months later we haven’t eaten yet. And I’m getting hungry! Simultaneously, I’ve been regularly accosted by readers prodding me to close the loop on this tale. Then I was reminded of Margaret Thatcher’s observation; “You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” So I’m making a last-ditch effort to reach out to Elly and Nick, asking you to contact me at rob@marketuilding.com so this can happen. Anyone trying to generate sales knows follow-up’s important. Your prospective customer’s amazingly busy and probably forgot about you 10 seconds after seeing your email. Why so busy? Work, life, and political stresses. Plus, every business and non-profit in sight

tugs at our sleeves for attention. So though it seems rude when someone ignores you, their reality may simply be a lack of bandwidth for returning (or even acknowledging) emails and phone calls. Yet persistence can pay off. I’ve seen studies showing sales prospects need to be contacted 7-10 times before a deal is struck. I found proof in my own backyard. My monthly newsletter and weekly blog constantly keep me in front of several thousand customers, contacts and friends. Should they need marketing services (even years after we’ve met) these folks typically think of me first. Despite such examples, most sales people stop their prospecting efforts after three customer “touches.” Then they can’t understand why they’re not closing more deals. Could it be their lack of perseverance? It takes a tough skin to be a successful salesperson. The good ones recognize that stunning silence from customers and prospects shouldn’t be taken personally. True, even additional outreach and thicker skin won’t guarantee success. But it will improve your odds of not being forgotten. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Breakfast is waiting for Nick and Elly at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Unicorn Jewelry offers everything you need BY EMILY SORENSEN Looking for high-end jewelry or watches? Need a repair done on your watch? Unicorn Jewelry in Rancho Bernardo can handle everything you need. Unicorn Jewelry, at 16781 Bernardo Center Drive in The Plaza in Rancho Bernardo, has been owned and operated by Fred Nasseri and his sister Minoo Anvari in the same location for 36 years. The store offers one of the biggest collections of jewelry anywhere in San Diego, according to Nasseri, and is considered to be San Diego’s largest independent jewelry store. Nasseri said the store has expanded its collection even further in the past year, adding new brands like Michael M. and expanding the in-store services. Unicorn Jewelry now offers antique watch repair, he said, as well as clock repair for both modern and antique clocks. Unicorn Jewelry also now does stone cutting and has expanded its appraisal department, including insurance and estate appraisals, Nasseri said. It has also been working to increase its online presence. “The goal is to be a one-stop shop,” said Nasseri, “so customers don’t have to think about going anywhere else.” Some of the other high-end brands that Unicorn Jewelry offers include Alor, Tag Heuer and Tacori. The store has an exclusive Mont Blanc boutique, selling pens, watches, briefcases and collectibles.

Nasseri is also a member of several other organizations, including Kiwanis, Shriners and the North San Diego Business Chamber. Nasseri credits the support of the community to Unicorn Jewelry’s longtime success and one of the reasons he and his family support so many local organizations. “You can’t stay in same place under the same name for 36 years without the support of the community,” he said. “And you can’t be in the community without being a part of it. We live in one of the most beautiful communities in Southern California. I’ve been coming to work for 36 years and the more involved with the community I become, the

more I realize how lucky I am to live here.” Nasseri said that this year, Unicorn Jewelry is planning on doing fundraisers for several local charity organizations that they support by hosting events. He said he welcomed charity organizations to contact him about hosting these events. Unicorn Jewelry will also be hosting a Rancho Bernardo Business Association mixer in May, and will participate in an upcoming San Diego bridal event later this month. It will also be hosting a special Takori event in-store on March 28 and 29. Unicorn Jewelry is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. It is closed on Sundays.

Almost 1,430 houses sold last month, 21 more than in January but 12 fewer than the same time last year, according to SDAR data. For attached homes like condominiums and townhouses, the median price in February was $385,000. That’s 1 percent more than January and 10 percent over February of last year. A total of 687 condos changed hands last month, eight fewer than the previous month and 113 fewer than in the same period in 2016. “The low-inventory situation and affordability crunch has been particularly hard on first-time home buyers,’’ said SDAR President Bob Kevane.“The bright spot for sellers is that they are getting a generous number of offers and receiving close to 100 percent of their asking price.’’ The supply of resale properties on the market has held at 1 1/2 months for the past three months - with five to six months considered a healthy level, the SDAR said. Homes that sold in February had been on the market for an average of 33 days. The organization said the most expensive property sold in the county last month was a 6,200-square-feet, four-bedroom, four-bath, oceanfront home in La Jolla, built in 1993, with a price of $12 million.

Flip the switch to a more beautiful home (StatePoint) The average home has 45 light sockets, which means you probably have more light bulbs than just about any home product, and yet the lighting aisle can still be a daunting place. With the right knowledge, you can save money, protect the environment and bring the best features of your home to life. Here are four quick tips to get you started: • Opt for LED. By 2020, half of all residential sockets will have converted to LEDs, which is good news, as LEDs can last over 10 years and use up to 85 percent less energy than the traditional lighting you may use today. Available in a variety of shapes, sizes, wattages and color temperatures, they are becoming increasingly affordable, too. Just a few years ago, LEDs topped $40, but today you can find a high-quality LED for less than $5. • Pay attention to color temperatures, wattages, shapes and quality of light. A few lighting facts can help you make useful purchases. For example, an average 60-watt replacement bulb would require about 800 lumens. The higher this number is, the brighter the light will be. And remember: when you invest in an LED that’s expected to last more than a decade, you want one that’s going to reliably live up to your expectations, so brands that have been around for a while and have proven their commitment to quality truly matter in this space. • Identify how you use each room and the mood you’d like to create. Use comfortable, soft white light in cozy places like bedrooms, family rooms and dining rooms. Active spaces like laundry rooms and playrooms can benefit from an energetic daylight bulb. Feature pure, clean lights in kitchens, bathrooms and craft and hobby spaces that tend to benefit from light that delivers exceptional color contrast and brightness. Today, select manufacturers such as GE, are taking the guesswork out of the equation by listing whether each bulb has a warm or cool tone and by offering room and use recommendations on the packaging. A warm white light

Use the right LED lighting in each room to set the mood and bring home features to life. will have a lower K (Kelvin) number, while a cool daylight will have a higher K number. • Put your home in its best light. Even with the right colors, perfect accessories and trendy furniture, a home can look lackluster. Look for new options, such as GE’s High Definition LED light bulbs which are engineered with a higher color rendering index for greater color contrast and boldness over an average bulb. This means the colors and features in each room can look even better. Just imagine a room makeover in five minutes simply by changing your light bulbs. With today’s advanced options, there’s no better time than now to shed some new light in every room in your house.
