Sportsplex billing error was first caught in 2014 BY J. HARRY JONES A years-long billing error costing the city of Poway thousands of dollars in lease payments from Sportsplex USA was caught by some city staffers two years ago, but no action was taken to correct the mistake, city documents show. The error was first detected in March 2014, according to a memo between two city employees obtained by the San Diego Union-Tribune through a public records request. Top administrators said the information was never passed along and that they first became aware of the mistake five months ago. “I don’t know why it wasn’t relayed,” Assistant City Manager Tina White said Friday. “We’ll be doing an inquiry into that.” The date matters because it means the statute of limitations that affects how much

BY EMILY SORENSEN Poway Unified School District board members voted unanimously Sunday night to fire Supt. John Collins and to initiate a civil lawsuit to recoup money they say he owes the district. The announcement came following a nearly four-hour closed session held at the district office. All five board members were in attendance. In a statement, board President Michelle O'Connor-Ratcliff said that Collins' termination was due to over $345,000 in "overpayments and unauthorized payments" discovered during an audit of Collins' contract. "The board was dismayed John Collins when the final audit report identified $320,769 in overpayments and unauthorized payments made to Dr. Collins, and an additional $24,494 in other transactions that violated district policies. The severity of the findings justified terminating the superintendent's contract for cause,” said O’Connor-Ratcliff in her statement. “The board was prepared to listen to any additional information or explanation Dr. Collins and his attorney wished to offer,” the statement said. “Following the conference, the board unanimously rendered the difficult decision to terminate his employment with the district.” A statement of charges filed by the board against Collins, obtained by the Voice of San Diego, listed the charges against him as engaging in unprofessional conduct, dishonesty and “persistently violating and refusing to obey the laws of the state and reasonable regulations prescribed by the governing board of Poway Unified School District for the operation of the district schools.” Pomerado News was unable to obtain a copy of the charges from the district or the board’s attorney and cannot verify any of the information in the document as being correct. Maribel Medina, the board’s personal attorney, hired VLS Forensic Services of Glendora to conduct the audit of Collins’ contract. A redacted version of the audit report, dated June 22, was released by the district on Monday afternoon. Collins' lawyer, Lynne Lasry, released a statement, saying, "For the almost three decades that Dr. Collins has served PUSD, he has had the best interests of its students and its employees in mind. Dr. Collins will vigorously defend against these charges, and expects to take affirmative and decisive action in response to the district's actions." SEE COLLINS, A10

THE SUMMIT
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Palomar Health is on track to move its behavioral health unit from Escondido to the Pomerado Hospital campus in Poway by year’s end, officials said. The 20-beds (a mix of behavioral health and a new inpatient older adult program) will complement the 12-bed gero-psychiatric unit that has existed at Pomerado for several years to treat older patients with acute psychiatric disorders, age-related difficulties and possible memory impairments. Spokesman Chris Saunders said the adult behavioral health unit is moving to Villa Pomerado — adjacent to Pomerado Hospital — by late 2016. The unit treats those with mental illness, which Saunders said includes “any individual in any part of society,” such as college students, professionals and senior citizens. Their illnesses include depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other conditions that require in-patient treatment. He said a small percentage of its behavioral health unit and gero unit patients are homeless. “Our policy is not to release them back to the streets without a place to go,” he said. “If they don’t have family members they can live with, we will find them a nursing home, long-term care facility, crisis house, board and care, independent living, shelter or other appropriate facility. We won’t discharge them until we have found such a living situation.” He added that adding more beds in Poway “will not have any further impact on the surrounding areas than there has been for many years. The ... unit has done very well in providing a safe environment for patients, caregivers and the community.” The move is another component of the public hospital’s plan to consolidate its services and close its Palomar Health Downtown Campus in Escondido. Preceding the closure announcement in June 2015, Palomar Health held several meetings — including two community gatherings in Poway — to inform locals of its plan and to address their concerns. Officials said the public health district was losing $20 million a year by keeping the downtown campus about three miles from Palomar’s new state-of-the-art hospital that

Pomerado Hospital in Poway. opened in 2012. In addition, more than $172 million in infrastructure and information technological upgrades are needed over the next several years at the campus that was the original Palomar Medical Center. Money saved through the closure is to go toward reinvesting in patient care throughout the system, officials stated last year. In all, the closure could mean a savings of $272.4 million over five years. Regarding other downtown campus services still operating, officials said its birth center/neonatal intensive care unit will likely move to Palomar Medical Center by this fall and the acute rehabilitation unit will relocate there by year’s end, where it will be based until a much larger facility is ready by fall 2019. Last month, Palomar Health announced it reached an agreement to build a 52-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital through a joint venture with Kindred Healthcare, Inc. The third-party developer will construct the facility on the Palomar Medical Center campus and lease it to the joint venture managed by Kindred so Palomar Health will not need to make any capital expenditures. Kindred Healthcare already manages Palomar’s inpatient rehabilitation unit at its downtown campus in addition to other services throughout the San Diego region. “This new hospital will provide inpatient rehabilitation services that complement Palomar’s highly regarded acute care services and help patients recover and return home,” said Benjamin Breier, Kindred’s president and CEO. “The transition of Palomar Health SEE PALOMAR, A19

Tony Gwynn memorial drive tops goal Ceremonial groundbreaking held at Lake Poway BY STEVE DREYER The campaign to raise $150,000 in private funds to build a memorial honoring San Diego Padres great Tony Gwynn reached its goal over the weekend. The accomplishment was announced Monday morning during a ceremonial groundbreaking event near the Lake Poway ballfield. During the event Mayor Steve Vaus said that an additional $10,000 has been pledged by the San Diego Padres, bringing the the total amount raised to $160,043. The event occurred the day before Major League Baseball’s annual All-Start Game at Petco Park. Several hundred people, including members of the Gwynn family, major donors, summer camp kids and baseball fans attended the groundbreaking. A half-dozen television stations showed up as well. Gwynn, 54, died on June 14, 2014, following a battle with cancer. The 30-year Poway resident played as a Padre for 20 years after making his first appearance for the club in 1982. He retired with a .338 batting average and over 3,141 hits in 2,400 games. Gwynn was inducted into the Padres Hall of Fame upon his retirement in 2001 and the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007.
STEVE DREYER
Poway Mayor Steve Vaus, with hat, joined Tony Gwynn family members and major memorial donors at Monday's groundbreaking. At the groundbreaking his widow, Alicia, thanked the Poway community for its years of support for her husband, noting that residents allowed him to be a “normal person … a family man, just Tony.” “Even after Tony passed you were there for us,” she said. City councilmembers earlier this year endorsed a bronze sculpture design submitted by Texas sculptor Seth Vandable, showing Gwynn raising his cap to the crowd
while holding his young daughter. The design was one of about 30 submitted by artists from across the country and was recommended for approval by a selection panel consisting of Gwynn family members, local art experts and Vaus. The bronze statue will take about six to nine months to complete. Poway-based San Diego Granite has agreed to donate materials for a small plaza around the statue and revealed a concept drawing on Monday. Other firms
are donating landscaping and construction services. Vaus noted it was almost two years to the day since he proposed that Poway pay tribute to Gwynn. An original city-proposed design, involving a bronze plaque on a boulder near the ballfield’s refreshment stand, was rejected in May 2015 as not being significant enough of a memorial. Memorial site work is expected to start by the end of the year.

RB-based group discusses international topics for 30 years BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK For 30 years, locals interested in worldly topics have been gathering most Thursday mornings in Rancho Bernardo to hear from experts and discuss international issues in a non-partisan way. “There is a lively question-and-answer period after the (presentation) by speakers from SDSU, USD and UCSD,” said Jim Larrimore, immediate past president of the North County Chapter of the San Diego World Affairs Council. When not coming from the academic world, other speakers are experts in their fields — many of whom are also WAC members. Recent speakers have included Dr. Irving Tragen, former director of U.S. Aid for International Development and executive officer for the Organization of American States; John Shu, a foreign intelligence surveillance court expert; and Vojin Joksimovich, past president of the Serbian Unity Congress. Larrimore, the chapter’s president from 2013 to last month, said the chapter formed in April 1986 when a group of retired people from the Rancho Bernardo area who were very interested in world affairs wanted to explore various issues. The chapter is part of the 50-year-old San Diego World Affairs Council, one of 100 such councils spread among 40 states. The World Affairs Council of America is based in Washington, D.C. “It is a big deal in many cities,” Larrimore

Poway resident Farouk Al-Nasser, who organized the North County Chapter of the San Diego World Affairs Council’s 30th anniversary annual meeting last month, with guest speaker Dr. Khaleel Mohammed, professor of Islamic and Arabic studies at SDSU. said. The chapter is based in Rancho Bernardo and Larrimore said about 80 percent of its 170-plus members live in Rancho Bernardo, Poway or Escondido. The rest come from communities farther away. He is a Del Mar resident. It is an all-volunteer, non-profit and non-partisan organization that focuses on educating the community on foreign policy
The Sky is the Limit
and international affairs. Larrimore said the members come from diverse backgrounds. Each gathering attracts around 70 attendees and at times topics will switch if international events warrant a modification. For example, he said the July 14 topic was changed to discuss Great Britain and its recent Brexit vote in which a majority of its voters supported leaving the European Union. “The North County Chapter has provided 1,667 programs continuously over the past 30 years,” he said. The group meets each Thursday, starting with a 9:30 a.m. social followed by a 10 a.m. program from September to July in The Remington Club II, 16916 Hierba Drive in Rancho Bernardo. Visitors and Remington Club residents are welcome to attend for free. A membership is $40 per year or $50 for two people in the same household. For details, contact President Tom Reeve at TPReeve72@gmail.com. The remaining speakers before the organization goes on its August hiatus are: • July 21 — Professor Georgy Gounev talking about Russia, Turkey, Radical Islam and the challenges for United States policy makers. • July 28 — Retired Navy Vice Adm. Charles Martoglio, former deputy commander of the U.S. European Command, sharing his strategic views on America, Europe, NATO and Russia.

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Rancho Bernardo High 2012 alumnus Kamal Obbad has won a scholarship that will let him spend the next year studying in England for free. Obbad was one of 35 Americans selected among 826 applicants for a Gates Scholarship. Of this year’s winners, 22 — including Obbad — will participate in a one-year master’s degree program and 13 will participate in a Ph.D. program at Cambridge, officials said. The postgraduate scholarship program was established through a $210 million donation by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000 to the University of Cambridge. Obbad said his Gates Cambridge Scholarship will pay for one year of tuition, travel expenses to and from England plus provide a housing allowance while he pursues a masters degree in advanced computer science,

Obbad said his career goal is to find “more effective ways to personalize medicine and diagnose diseases by combining computer science and medicine.” For example, he said when a patient is diagnosed with cancer, a doctor could look at the patient’s genes that are causing the tumor and with that information choose a

He is also considering medical/Ph.D. combined programs. Obbad said he was attracted to Cambridge’s masters program because it only requires one year of study, unlike the two-year programs at many universities in the U.S. However, he could not have gone to Cambridge without the Gates Scholarship, he said. “I didn’t expect (to win), but was happy that I was given a chance,” Obbad said.

Erickson said he has painted murals at all of ActivCare’s five facilities and said the murals typically evoke a “wow” feeling in those that see them. Mares said most elderly with memory issues lose their short-term memory first. “It seems like they can identify and remember events earlier on in their life, so we want to appeal to (that) with positive images so they can find their way and participate in their community,” she said.

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Large murals designed to evoke memories of the local landscape and historic times while simultaneously helping memory-challenged individuals find their way around their home have been painted at ActivCare Living’s new 4S Ranch facility. “The murals aid in wayfinding for residents,” said Jennifer Mares, ActivCare’s marketing manager. “They set the tone for the hallways adjacent to the theme artwork (when they go) down the hallways that surround their (area) and by their rooms. “They help residents identify where they are by not having just a blank wall in which they must figure which is their neighborhood,” she said. There are five themes in the 25,000-square-foot facility at 10603 Rancho Bernardo Road in 4S Ranch. Painted by San Diego-based muralist Rik Erickson, they are: • “Horse Ranch” — Appaloosa horses set in a rural scene similar to the area 50 years ago. • “Flying High” — vintage Corsair World War II type airplanes flying over a red and yellow sunset in an area with a patriotic theme geared toward veterans. • “Lake Hodges” — colorful hot air balloons flying over Rancho Bernardo Community Park. • “Wine Country” — a bright sunset mural based on the Orfila Winery in
German prisoner of war camp. “(My abilities) might be genetic.” Erickson said he typically uses acrylic paint for his murals because it does not yellow and crack the way oil paint tends to do over time. “It’s also more environmentally friendly and sticks better,” he said. After consulting with clients and getting their ideas, Erickson said he creates small versions of the murals on his computer. For the ActivCare murals, that included taking photos of the area and combining elements together. Once the design has been finalized he projects it onto the wall to draw the image’s outline. “I’ll block in the big shapes of colors, then slowly start to refine the details

so (the mural) comes to life,” he said. Because projection requires a dark room, Erickson said he did most of his work at night, after the construction crew left the 4S Ranch facility. He said it took five to seven days to paint each mural, with the balloon design in the main room requiring about 10 nights of work. While Erickson said he has created smaller paintings, his preference is murals because they have “more wow factor and their scale is more encompassing.” A list and photos of some of his other works in public and private indoor and outdoor settings can be seen on his website, muralsfantastic.com.

FROM COLLINS, A1 Lasry's statement also said that the independent audit released by the district is "replete with errors, both legal and substantive" and includes privacy violations of Dr. Collins and others, even in its redacted form. "The audit clearly ignores evidence which supports Dr. Collins, and includes questionable presentations of summaries which rely on unseen documents and/or mischaracterizations of many circumstances and events," said Lasry in her statement. The alleged overpayments totaling $345,263 include $77,241 in base pay, $132,090 in longevity pay and $109,792 in vacation payout, as well as $1,646 for internet services, paid out of the revolving cash fund, a petty cash fund meant for expediting small purchases, emergency payments and reducing purchasing costs. Purchases through the RCF should never exceed $150, according to district policy.
hours, according to calculation done by VLS in the report. “As of April 2016, the district shows the Mr. Collins has a vacation balance of 88.02 hours (11 days), however VLS calculated an ending balance of negative 445.68 hours (55.71 days). This is a total difference of 533.70 hours (66.7125 days),” said the report. Collins received $148,457.42 from these vacation payouts. Recalculating from Collins’ existing vacation hours (28 days), VLS said in the report that Collins would need to pay the district back $109,791.93 for these payouts. The report also showed that Collins took several days off without reporting them as vacation or sick days. VLS identified these days through emails and texts obtained through Collins’ district-provided electronic devices. This included Collins taking the entire month of July 2015 off (22 days), but only reporting 10 vacation days and two sick days, according to the audit report.
Vacation payouts
Base Pay
Collins cashed in his vacation hours four times since August 2012, an option that VLS said was not included in his contract Collins’ contract states that outstanding vacation days could be cashed out upon departure from the job. One of these payouts took his vacation hours into the negative balance. He took a payout of 80 vacation hours in the 2012-13 school year, 176.50 hours in the 2013-14 year and 513.18 hours, or 64 days, in 2014-15. That vacation payout took his hours into the negative by 269.68 hours. A fourth vacation payout of 160 hours in 2015-16 took him further into the negative, resulting in Collins having negative 445.68
Collins received over $77,000 in base pay to which he was not entitled, based on satisfactory performance reviews, according to the audit report. VLS stated in its audit report that there was no documentation that showed that Collins had received satisfactory performance reviews in the years when he took base-pay raises, which ranged from a roughly 2 percent salary increase to 5 percent, based on the year. In 2015-16, Collins received a 5 percent base pay raise, despite his contract stating that his base pay of $297,735 is effective through June 30, 2017 unless the board takes action (to increase his pay). According to the report, there is no evidence that the board took
action to increase his salary this year. These raises also raised additional questions, as they were tied to the pay of other administrators in the district, which the audit said was unusual. “It is uncommon for the superintendent’s contract to include a clause that he receive the same salary adjustments and benefits as the administrative management group (certified management) as this results in him bargaining for benefits that directly impact his compensation, which could be perceived as a conflict of interest,” said the report.
Longevity
According to the audit report, Collins has received $132,000 in unearned longevity pay. Longevity steps are a 2.5 percent increase in pay at the end of 10, 15, 20 and 25 years of service in the district. The audit report says that these increases are compounded, according to Paula Rians, payroll supervisor for the district. Collins earned a total of $144,692 in longevity pay between 2008 and 2016, though VLS calculated that he should only have earned $12,602 for longevity. Emails from December 2015 between Collins and Malliga Tholandi, retired associate superintendent of Business Support Services, indicated that Collins was interested in increasing the longevity pay percentages to 3 percent at 15 years, 3.5 percent at 20 years and 4 percent at 25 years. Collins’ suggested increases were never implemented. “Mr. Collins would have directly benefitted from any increases to the longevity pay steps discussed in the email mentioned above,” said VLS in the audit report.
Other discrepancies
The audit also uncovered $24,494 in what the report calls “transactions that violate district policy,” including $5,475 in P-card (Purchasing card, a district credit card issued to an employee of the district for the purpose of making authorized purchases on the district’s behalf) purchases, a $17,000 vacation payout conducted through the RCF and $2,019 in RCF purchases that exceeded the $150 limit. The audit report shows that Collins used his P-card for several personal expenses, including airfare for a personal trip Collins took with his family, costing $2,267.20. Collins reimbursed the district for this cost in 2013. Funds obtained from Collins’ vacation payouts appear to have been intended to pay personal bills, according to emails and texts obtained by VLS. Redacted copies of many emails and texts were included in the report. Text messages between Collins and his family revealed financial issues, including the inability to get their BMW repaired at the dealer; and expressed worries about finances and referenced depositing $17,000 in the bank, an amount requested by Collins as a vacation payout that was issued through the RCF, not payroll, as payroll had already been processed for the month when he made his request, according to the report. Collins told Tholandi at the time that he needed the money to pay for an attorney he had retained, said VLS in the report. An email from December 2015 indicated that Collins would not be able to purchase a new home in 2016, and several other emails between Collins and his wife spoke of worrying about having enough money in their bank account to buy groceries and pay bills.

PHS grad wins $1.2M at WSOP Another poker tournament, another score for Poway High graduate Brian Rast. The 34-year-old poker pro who now lives in Las Vegas captured the World Series of Poker’s $50,000 buy-in Poker Players Championship early Thursday morning at the Rio Convention Center in Las Vegas. Rast won the same event back in 2011 and is one of just two players to win it twice. “Part of the reason why this was so gratifying and satisfying for me is because it was a mixed-game tournament and I felt a little slighted going into it in some of the limit mixed games,” Rast said, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal. “It was just satisfying from a professional standpoint that I did this, and even bet some on the side against some people.” Rast, who was Poway High’s valedictorian in
2000, earned $1,296,097 and his third World Series of Poker bracelet for the win. His live tournament earnings are just shy of $18 million now. Not too shabby for a man who left Stanford University in 2005 to become a professional poker player. The final day of the tournament began on Wednesday at 2 p.m. Rast scooped the final pot and the title just before 1 a.m. Thursday. His full house beat fellow poker pro Justin Bonomo’s ace-high straight during a hand of No-limit Hold’em. “I take poker pretty seriously, and what my legacy is or how I’m viewed by my peers is important to me as a form of professional respect,” Rast said, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal. “I do care about that, and from that aspect, what I was able to do here today was obviously something really special.”
Council to discuss city manager The City Council and City Manager Dan Singer were scheduled to meet in closed session this afternoon (Thursday) amid reports that Singer plans to resign his position. The meeting is the latest in a series of closed-door sessions involving councilmembers assessing Singer’s performance since starting with the city in June 2014. Several sources have indicated that Singer has been informed
FROM SPORTSPLEX, A1 because of the inquiry. The document addresses Sportsplex’s payments to Poway for city land the company leases in the Poway Business Park. “It appears that for 2011, 2012 and 2013 they have been calculating the annual percentage rent at 7 percent and according to Amendment No. 4, it should have been calculated at 8 percent beginning with calendar year 2009,” Shields wrote in the memo dated March 26, 2014. The Sportsplex error erupted last month when City Manager Dan Singer told the council about the problem, after a reporter began asking question about the lease. In a June 17 memo to the council, Singer wrote: “I want to make you all aware of a recent discovery we had with the Sportsplex Lease Agreement. In March the Senior Analyst who monitors many of our lease agreements ... discovered that the percentage of gross income we receive annually from Sportsplex was wrong.” Singer went on to explain how he had negotiated a settlement with the business to recoup part of the lost revenue that included a provision that $10,000 of the money be used for the Tony Gwynn Memorial Fund. Mayor Steve Vaus, Councilman John Mullin and others were outraged by the settlement and angry that Singer hadn’t notified them when the under-billing first came to light. The council has repeatedly vowed that the Gwynn memorial would be funded only through private donations. On Friday, council members said they were baffled to learn the error was initially discovered two years ago. “If anybody in 2014 knew about this, everybody should have known about this,”
that his contract will not be renewed. Singer’s employment contract with the city is set to expire on May 31, 2017. Under terms of that contract, he will receive nine months of salary and benefits. The agreement also specifies that the only comment that will come from either Singer or the council is a joint press release that “shall not contain any text or information that is disparaging to either Party.” Mullin said. Added Vaus: “Our staff does great work but they don’t walk on water. They are not perfect. The challenge now is to find out what happened — when and why — and put some new procedures in place so it doesn’t happen again.” Under the conditions of the lease, Sportsplex should have been paying the city 8 percent of the venue’s gross revenues starting in 2010. Instead it was paying only 7 percent, the amount required before the lease was amended in 2009. That amounts to roughly $15,000 per year — or $90,000 total — that Sportsplex underpaid, city officials said. The disclosure of the billing error came just months after Poway discovered it had undercharged Pomerado Hospital roughly $800,000 for water the hospital used from 2008 until 2014. Singer told the council about the water error earlier this year, even though the problem was detected last summer. White, who was acting city manager in 2014, said she and other top administrators only learned of the Sportsplex problem during a recent review of the company’s proposal to install solar panels in its parking lot. About two weeks ago the city began a “systematic examination” of all leases, she said. “We’re going to do everything in our power to recover every dollar that is owed to the city to the extent that is possible, and we’re working toward putting some safeguards into place so that we can avoid this kind of mistake in the future,” White said. A request from Councilman Jim Cunningham to have an audit of city contracts performed, perhaps by an outside agency, will be considered at the next scheduled council meeting on Tuesday, White said.

OPINION
www.pomeradonews.com
EDITORIAL
Report justifies decision to fire Collins S hock. Disbelief. Betrayal of trust. Those are some of the words that come to mind after reading a 72-page report concerning John Collins that was used by Poway Unified School District Board of Education in its unanimous decision Sunday night to fire the superintendent. The long-awaited audit report, prepared by an accounting firm hired by a board-retained attorney, paints a disturbing picture of a once-trusted school administrator who appears to have flaunted his authority by repeatedly bending rules and violating policies over the past few years. The report identifies $320,769 in “overpayments and unauthorized payments” made to Collins plus another $24,494 in other transactions that “violated district policies.” Using the report as its reference, the board presented to Collins a 14-page list of charges and, in closed session Sunday evening, reportedly asked him to explain himself. Based on the 5-0 vote taken later that night to immediately terminate his employment, he failed. Collins, a district employee since 1989 and superintendent since 2010, says through his attorney that he wasn’t given a fair shake by the board and hinted strongly at future litigation. The board, meanwhile, voted to initiate litigation to recover money it says Collins owes. The allegations against Collins contained in the audit report are too many to list here. Significant among them, however, is that Collins, on four separate occasions between 2012 and 2015, cashed out more than $148,457 in vacation pay. “There is no language in Mr. Collins’ employment contract that specifically addresses vacation payout,” the report says. According to the report, the district shows Collins having a vacation balance of 88 hours in April, but the true number is negative 445 hours. Other allegations include Collins receiving $77,241 in unearned pay raises and accruing $132,090 in longevity pay in excess of what was called for in his contract. Board members ordered the audit while in protracted separation agreement talks with Collins and his attorney. When the suspected irregularities surfaced in late April, the board appropriately placed Collins on paid leave while further investigations were pursued. The situation put both the board and Collins in awkward situations but, in hindsight, was the right thing to do. What surfaces while reading the audit report and its many attachments is the picture of a man experiencing significant financial struggles despite being the highest paid school superintendent in the county. Whether those problems contributed to his decisions to find ways to supplement his income while violating district policies in unknown. What is known is that your publicly elected school board deserves credit for properly ending his tenure as superintendent.
OUR READERS WRITE A ‘no fly’ lesson In recent issues, readers have asked why we shouldn’t ban gun sales to individuals on the “no-fly” list. The reason is that it is a violation of the Constitution to take your rights away without due process. There is no due process in the “no-fly” list, which violates Amendments II, V and VI. Your right to travel freely is taken away by an anonymous accuser you cannot confront in a court of law. The right to keep and bear arms is confirmed (not granted) by the Bill of Rights and that right cannot be legally taken away without due process. In a speech to the House on Dec. 10, 2015, Congressman Tom McClintock related his experience: “While serving in the California State Senate a decade ago, I discovered that suddenly I couldn’t check in for a flight. When I asked why, I was told I was on this government list. The experience was Kafkaesque. My first reaction was to ask, ‘Why am I on that list?’ ‘We can’t tell you that.’ ‘What are the criteria you use?’ I asked. ‘That’s classified.’ I said, ‘How can I get off this list?’ The answer was, ‘You can’t.’ I soon discovered another California state senator had been placed on that list. A few months later, U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy found himself on that list.” The “no-fly” and terrorist watch lists are accusations of uncodified crimes without due process. John Murphy Poway
Be friends with books Regarding your June 30 editorial cartoon: The little girl loved her e-book, but in the end she chose a book. As a member of the Rancho Bernardo High School Friends of the Library, I am proud of you for sharing the message with
our community. Being an avid reader, I know what happens when you start reading to 6-month-old babies; they too will love books. I know from experience. E-books are space savers and if you have difficulty with the small font you can certainly adjust it and storage may not be a problem. I have thousands of books and I can't imagine myself with an e-book even though my children gave me two of them. When I worked at a bookstore or volunteered at the PUSD schools I always asked the students "After you read the book will you tell me the story?" and they did. They were so anxious for me to listen. The libraries have wonderful summer reading programs so please avail yourself and your children of this great opportunity. Our Rancho Bernardo High School Friends of the Library will have a used bookstore soon on the campus and it will help us buy items for our library. We are small in numbers but we are dedicated to our staff and students. My last reminder to you: No matter how handy an e-book is, its intangible nature strips its ability to evoke the sentimental memories a dingy, dog-eared paperback can elicit. Shirley Black Poway
No rule of law The decision not to pursue an indictment of the lying Hillary Clinton and the president proclaiming her innocent three months ago tell me the rule of law no longer applies in my country. It is a sad day when money and influence can buy results for the powerful elites and the people who work, pay taxes and vote are no longer represented. I also believe it is a sad day for the director of the FBI and the many patriotic people who are employed there. Richard Taylor Poway

Disadvantaged blacks need leaders
W
e are a unique generation. We are the first generation in history who has lived mostly in the presence of the power capable of annihilating the human race. The good news is we’ve never seen that power used to its full potential. We’re also a generation who has lived in the presence of the knowledge and understanding capable of bringing peace to all of mankind. The bad news is we’ve never seen that power used to its full potential either. Even worse, the power to bring peace is waning in America. It doesn’t make sense. People of every race, ethnic group and gender enjoy more opportunities, a better quality of life, and a
higher standard of living in America during the 21st Century than anywhere else in the world, throughout all of history. But instead of relishing our situation in peace we’ve become balkanized by hate. Although many Americans are animated by peace and love, an increasing number are not, and we should ask why. Then we should all work together to make things better. If I were black, I’d be very angry about what’s happening in America. But instead of blaming police officers and defining America for what happens in a micro-moment in a few American cities, I’d look at who is actually responsible for the problems of black unemployment, low

n spite of the tragic loss of five Dallas police officers last Thursday night, there is a growing list of protests across this country in response to two more police shootings. In some ways, the specifics of what’s being protested doesn't matter. Not to the grieving; not to the deniers; and not to those like myself who couldn’t lift the weight of despair enough to get out of bed last Friday morning. Just to be clear, however, here is the short list of why protesters of all races have taken to the streets: 1) Persons who are black and unarmed are about 3.5 times as likely to be shot by police as whites who are unarmed; 2) Blacks who are unarmed are just as likely to be shot by police as whites who are armed; 3) In certain jurisdictions the ratio for the risk of an unarmed black person being shot compared to an unarmed white person being shot climbs as high as 20:1; and 4) These ratios cannot be explained by local crime rate differences in general or black crime rates in particular. In the late 1960s, we faced a similar crossroads. The cities
of Detroit and Newark saw riots after police brutality, and President Johnson appointed the Kern Commission to recommend ways to improve race relations in the country. The money quote from the Kern Report was, “We are moving toward two societies, one black, one white, separate and unequal”. The Kern Report was literally a bestseller when it was published. However, its advice - like the advice of most presidential commission reports - went unheeded. Now, thanks to repeated and indisputable video evidence of continuing police brutality, we are faced with a choice again: Do we do something meaningful about the race issue or do we, once again, kick the can down the road? Here are some immediate actions we can take to make things better: • Provide the funds and public support to allow police to do a very difficult job well; • Comply if you are questioned by a police officer, if not out of respect, for your own personal safety; • Require body cams and make disabling a body and/or dash camera a federal offense;
• Appoint an independent/federal investigative unit to examine violence by police and prosecute accordingly; • If there is a pattern of abuse by a police officer, at minimum take him/her off the streets or terminate their employment; • Lower barriers, such as college credits and criminal history, for more minorities to join the police force; • Stop using policing as a profit center (no more quotas, no asset forfeiture, etc) resulting in the potential for needless confrontation for the sake of lining City Hall’s coffers; • Grant citizen review and oversight boards power that is real and independent (no more "investigating ourselves"); • Reward whistleblowers; • Give police recruits background checks and psychological evaluations (no bullies, or adrenaline junkies keeping the peace); • Require police to carry their own liability insurance; • Clarify legal limits for use of force; • Institute new and longer training on community
black wages, the breakdown of black families and the long list of other factors that work against large numbers of blacks in today’s America. I’d be most displeased with the presidency of Barak Obama, whose election to the highest office in the land spurred great hope for disadvantaged blacks. The opposite occurred. Under Mr. Obama’s leadership black median income, home ownership, and wealth have all declined. Black unemployment has risen, as have the number of blacks in poverty, and on food stamps. A record number have left the workforce. I’d also be displeased with the Clintons, who have promised for decades to improve the plight of blacks, yet during this same time have feathered their own nest to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. In fact, my dissatisfaction would extend to most Democrat politicians and the Democratic Party, which for decades earned black loyalty by promising to improve the plight of blacks, yet have accomplished little in areas that make the most difference. No wonder disadvantaged blacks are upset. They’ve been conned for generations. The past seven years have been the biggest con job of all. They’ve been conned both by their own party and their own president.
But disadvantaged blacks aren’t the only ones victimized by political con artists. We all have been conned recently. The reason we’ve seen so much political upheaval this year is that voters are awakening all over the world. It’s ironic that disadvantaged blacks and everyday Republicans have one thing in common. Both disdain America’s governing elite. Where they differ is in how to resolve their grievances. Republicans revolted by nominating Donald Trump. Disadvantaged blacks declared war on police officers. Disadvantaged blacks should ask, “Who can we elect who will actually make a difference?” The answer may not be Donald Trump, but it certainly isn’t Hillary Clinton. Nor will it be Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or any of the racism entrepreneurs who make a living grandstanding about racial issues. Disadvantaged blacks and America need a modern day Martin Luther King, Jr. who will inspire and lead America to the next level of maturity. America also needs visionary leaders of any race or gender, like John Kennedy or Ronald Reagan, who will permanently solve this vexing problem.

policing tactics (the police equivalent of bedside manner); • Demilitarize police forces; • As Dallas Police Chief Brown has called for, repeal open carry laws so when there is a gunfight going on police are able to sort the good guys from bad guys. Finally, a more long-term action we can take is to focus more state and federal funds on poverty. The reality is that many of the crimes people are apprehended and needlessly killed for- selling drugs and/or contraband, warrants for unpaid tickets, domestic abuse and weapons chargesare socio-economically rooted. In short, when a lot of poor people are living in the worst conditions with little possibility of lifting themselves or their families out of unrelenting poverty, they despair. That despair often leads to anguish, depression, substance abuse, crime, and sometimes violence. Our society is in critical condition. If we wait another 50 years to do something, we will remain a country divided and possibly no country at all. Our society needs police who will protect the lives and property of all of us regardless of our race or socioeconomic status. To quote Bob Dylan, one of the great protesters of our time, "Let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.” Roost is a freelance writer and former Poway resident who now lives in Encinitas.

FROM PALOMAR, A2 Downtown Campus-based programs and services has been going very smoothly as we move closer to the relocation of our cornerstone inpatient care units of the (campus) by the end of calendar year 2016,” said Frank Beirne, Palomar Health’s executive vice president of operations. “The relocation of the (remaining) core inpatient services ... is dependent on Palomar Health receiving final regulatory approvals, so we don’t yet have an exact timetable on these moves. “It’s important to remember ... that there will be no interruption or degradation of services during this transition,” Beirne said. “Our goal and commitment remain unwavering that Palomar Health and our care team will do whatever it takes to ensure that the patient comes first when it comes to providing healthcare services to the communities we serve until our last patient leaves the (downtown) campus.” Also set for future moves are the infusion center (moving to Pomerado Outpatient Pavilion), medical records (moving to 2227 Enterprise Street in Escondido), perinatal testing (moving to 488 E. Valley Parkway in Escondido) and radiation therapy (moving to Palomar Medical Center). Details on the laboratory draw station are yet to be determined. As for other departments: • Outpatient surgery was split among Palomar Medical Center and Pomerado Hospital. • Pre-admission testing moved in January from Palomar Medical Center and Pomerado Hospital to the Pomerado Outpatient Pavilion in Poway. • The downtown campus’ standby emergency department closed in March. Non-emergent ambulatory services are provided through a partnership with downtown Escondido area community health centers. • Cardiac rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, patient financial services and sleep lab have moved to Palomar Health’s San Marcos facility at 120 Craven Road. • Home health has moved to 800 W. Valley Parkway in Escondido. • Medical staff services moved to Palomar Medical Center.

A PERFECT RUN FOR THE 4S RANCH 10U ALL-STARS The 4S Ranch Little League 9/10-year-old All-Star Team captured the District 31 championship on July 6. 4S Ranch went a perfect 5-0, beating Carmel Mountain Ranch 11-10 in eight innings for the title at Pomerado Elementary School. 4S Ranch led 7-0 at one point before Carmel Mountain Ranch tied it with four runs in the third and three in the fourth. Both teams scored twice in the seventh and it was off to extra innings. 4S Ranch scored twice in the top of the eighth before hanging on for the one-run win. 4S Ranch advances to Saturday’s Section 6 Tournament.
Local coaches earn honors at state level Bob Parry has been the head baseball coach at Poway High School since 1995. He has won four San Diego Section Division I championships, including one in 2015 in what might have been the most thrilling run of them all. Parry was recently honored for his outstanding success, as he was named the California Coaches Association Baseball Coach of the Year. The Titans went 20-13 this past season and beat rival Rancho Bernardo twice in the three-game series. Poway went 2-2 in the postseason. Parry has over 400 career victories and has helped several student-athletes move successfully to the next level.

This past season he saw Michelle Altice become the first athlete in school history to win a state medal, as she took fourth in the girls shot put and fifth in the girls discus. Russ started his coaching career at El Capitan in 1993 as an assistance sprints and hurdles coach. He became head coach of the track and field team at Helix in 1999 before going back to El Capitan to become the co-head coach at El Capitan.

Broncos’ Mitchell a step closer to donning Team USA jersey BY TERRY MONAHAN Standing in right field, Calvin Mitchell was with 108 other baseball players who had just completed a week-long Tournament of Stars for the best players 18-and-under in the nation. They all want to be on the 25-man team that will eventually represent the USA in the COPABE Pan Am “AA’’ Championships down Monterrey, Mexico in late September. “That’s the highest honor I could achieve as an amateur,’’ said Mitchell, who will be a senior at Rancho Bernardo High in the fall. “None of this seems real just yet. “It would be a nice feeling to represent my country against the best players in the world.’’ But as they announced the players who were among the final 40 players who will advance to a final trial in Houston just before the tournament in alphabetical order, Mitchell kept telling himself he was still in the hunt as each lucky player was named. His stress level raised a bit as five players whose names started with “M’’ like Mitchell were ticked off. Finally, Calvin Mitchell was called. “The whole thing was televised, so I had to stay cool,’’ said Mitchell, who verbally committed to USD. “My family back home was watching and they went crazy, as crazy as I was on the inside. “It’s tough to learn how to not let the pressure get to you. You have to stay composed. “When I’m on the field playing, no one behind the fence exists. They aren’t even there.’’ In his third varsity season with the Broncos this spring, Mitchell served notice that he is among the top players in the nation. SEE MITCHELL, B3

Rancho Bernardo High's Calista Reyes.
BY MICHAEL BOWER Calista Reyes has been competing in some of the biggest American Junior Golf Association tournaments in the country for several years now. But the Rancho Bernardo High junior to be has not lost that wide-eyed feeling that comes with playing in such prestigious events. The sweet-swinging lefty will certainly feel a rush of adrenaline before taking to the golf course on Monday, when she will compete in the highly-competitive U.S. Girls Junior Championship at the Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey. It will be her third time competing in the USGA six-day event, which features over 100 of the top girl’s golfers in the country. “I feel more confident this year than in years past,” said Reyes, who missed the cut to reach the match play portion of the event her first two times out. “I feel really prepared and I am playing solid, consistent golf leading up to the event.”

has had. “I have won four out of the five matches I played,” she said. “So, I feel pretty confident.” “I think match play can sometimes take the guessing out of the game,” she added. “Sometimes it helps you know when to play a certain shot or when to be aggressive. Also, the pressure builds up more quickly because you know what you have to do to get the job done. I feel like it is like playing in the leader group in a tournament, because both players are in contention to win.” Golf has taken Reyes all around the world. This year she has only had stops in Texas and New York. The 16-year-old doesn’t mind the traveling, though, as she is hoping it prepares her and her game for a professional career. “It’s nice to have all of these experiences,” she said. “I can learn from and improve on everything really early in my golfing career. I feel like it builds confidence and it has given me more lessons to learn. I think it is important to learn lessons at a young age to help your adult career.” Also playing in the tournament will be Rancho Bernardo’s Samantha Yi.

Reyes has been playing great golf all year, including during the high school season. She finished tied for second at the CIF State Girls Golf Championships and more recently had a top-10 finish at the Rolex Girls Junior Championships in Rochester, New York. “It was great to finish second in the state, but I was disappointed to not be there with my teammates,” said Reyes, whose Broncos did not advance past the SoCal Regional. “I play the high school season for the team environment. Of course, I was happy to be there. But it just felt like something was missing.” The format for this upcoming event is a little different than the state championships since match play is thrown into the mix. Players will play 36 holes over two days and the top 64 finishers will then proceed to match play. Reyes’ goal is to at least make the first round of match play. “I feel everyone’s main goal is to get to match play and then see how it carries out from there,” she said. Playing against one competitor rather than the field could lead to strategy adjustments on the course. Reyes has not played in many match-play events, but has had success in what little experience she

FROM MITCHELL, B1 A .267 hitter with 14 RBIs in 2014 as a freshman, the 6-foot-1 slugger pushed his average to .333 with six home runs and 31 RBIs as Rancho Bernardo captured the San Diego Section Open Division championship. This past season he was even better, batting .371 with 12 homers and 41 RBIs to earn first-team All-CIF honors. Mitchell’s attention now is on the Perfect Game Tournament in Georgia before he shifts his eyesight to the prestigious Area Code Game in August in Long Beach. A week later, senior year begins but Mitchell
will be in Houston trying to take the final step to representing the USA. “To represent my country and miss a week of school playing baseball, I’m really OK with that,’’ Mitchell said. “When I fall asleep at night after a bad game now you wonder if that’s going to get you sent home. They’ve sent home first-round draft picks in the past. “I’ve learned over the years to just let that bad at-bat or that bad game go. “If I don’t do that, I won’t make any money at the major league level.’’ That dream is certainly not coming from left or right field.

Correction The article titled “Headed to state” in the July 7 issue incorrectly stated the 8U Poway Girls Softball League’s All-Star Team was the first to win the district championship since 2004’s 14U team. However, the PGSL 14U all-star team in 2006 won the last district championship and eventually finished as the national runner-up. We apologize for the error.

PowPAC starts season with ‘Funny Business’ The comedy will open on Friday BY EMILY SORENSEN PowPAC, Poway’s Community Theatre opens its new season on Friday with the comedy “Funny Business,” at PowPAC’s theater, 13250 Poway Road in the Lively Center. “Funny Business,” written by prolific British playwright Derek Benfield, is the sequel to “Bedside Manners,” the comedy that closed PowPAC’s 2015-16 season in May. It is being directed by Brent A. Stringfield, the artistic director of PowPAC, with assistance by Annette Alliano. It is being produced by Chris and Brenda Robinson. Those who didn’t get a chance to see “Bedside Manners” last season needn’t worry, said Stringfield. “The audience doesn’t need to have seen ‘Bedside Manners’ to see ‘Funny Business.’ Ferris (the innkeeper) is the only recurring character. This is a stand-alone show featuring new problems and dilemmas

The cast of "Funny Business," back row: Daniel R. Sky, Renée Gándola, Brent A. Stringfield (director) and Holly Stephenson. Front row: Tamaz Bolkvadze, Tyler Richards Hewes and Mark Danielski. for Ferris.” “Funny Business” sees the return of Ferris (Tyler Richards Hewes, reprising his role from “Bedside Manners”) returning to his sister’s seedy hotel to run it while she’s on vacation. He has to deal with a slew of new guests, all of whom have guilty secrets they’re trying to hide. To make things worse, one of these guests is a notorious hotel critic for the Sunday paper — but which of the guests is the reviewer is
unknown. “This leads to several cases of mistaken identity and Ferris making judgment calls which turn out to be false and the hilarity that goes along with that,” said Stringfield. Rest of the cast includes Daniel R. Sky as Henry, Holly Stephenson as Angela, Renée Gándola as Judy and Mark Danielski as Edgar. Tamaz Bolkvadze, who was also a cast member in “Bedside Manners,” returns in a new
role as Mr. Johnson. “It’s a very different role (from ‘Bedside Manners’),” said Stringfield. “Thanks to costuming and makeup, the audience may not even recognize him.” The show will re-use the two-room hotel set created for “Bedside Manners” with some minor changes, which is one of the reasons PowPAC decided to put on the dual shows of “Bedside Manners” and “Funny Business,” said Stringfield. “(Being able to reuse the set for the two shows) allowed us to make the best use of our finances, our resources and our volunteers during the summer months,” he said. “Funny Business” opens Friday and runs through Sunday, Aug. 14. Performances are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $22 general admission; $20 students, seniors and active military and are available online at powpac.org. There is a $2 surcharge for opening night, which includes a post-performance reception with the cast.

Parenting in the Digital Age: Internet Safety Tips • Know your child’s passwords and review their social media sites weekly. Ask them how they know new friends or connections and if they don’t know them, do not allow them to follow. • Kids often have numerous accounts. Along with reviewing who is following them, look at their activity. If there isn’t a lot of activity, they may be using a different account. Investigate further. • Be sure that geo-tagging is off on all social media sites, which prevents someone from identifying where your child is posting from. • Teach them never to post the name of their school, home address or areas where they frequently hang out.
Alison Jacobson, The Safety Mom, is a preeminent voice on safety, wellness and healthy living and a Cox Communications partner. From environmental toxins and healthy eating to sports injuries and cyber bullying, The Safety Mom is always on the lookout for the issues facing children of all ages, as well as the entire family. Here she provides cyber safety tips for parents just in time for the summer months when kids may be home alone more often.
• Assume that status updates, photos and videos posted on social networks are permanent. Just because a profile is deleted or information is removed, older versions can continue to exist on other sites. • Never allow your child to arrange a face-toface meeting with someone they’ve met online by themselves. • Teach kids to not respond to messages that are inappropriate. Encourage children to tell an adult if they ever encounter anything that makes them feel uncomfortable.
• Parents and guardians should consider downloading a monitoring service app that allows them to view the child’s smartphone activity. • Cyberbullying over the weekend spills into school on Monday. Inform school officials if your child was involved in a cyberbully incident so that they can monitor the situation during the day. • Don’t dismiss the issue. Whether your child plays it down or is seriously upset, get involved. Parents of “bullycide” victims (kids who have committed suicide due to bullying) frequently comment that they wish they had taken the issue more seriously. • If necessary, get law enforcement involved. Many school districts around the country have a police officer or several assigned to the school who are always on campus. This would be the first law enforcement personnel to approach. Ask him/her for their suggestions on handling the situation. • Teach your child to get involved. It has been shown that the best person to help stop bullying is a peer who intervenes. If your child witnesses someone getting bullied online encourage her/him to tell you.

‘Peter Pan’ opens July 20 at Moonlight Sets and costumes from Cathy Rigby production The Tony Award-winning musical production “Peter Pan” soars back to Vista’s Moonlight Amphitheatre from July 20 to Aug. 6. The classic, family favorite production hit the Broadway stage in 1954 and has since been adapted for the movie screen several times over 60 years. The original Broadway production and revivals received nine Tony Award nominations with the most recent in 1999 for Best Revival of a Musical. The Moonlight production features the sets and costumes of the famous Cathy Rigby production, including spectacular flying effects. The high-flying musical whisks you away to a place where dreams are born and no one ever grows up. Peter and his mischievous sidekick Tinkerbell visit the Darling children’s nursery late one night, and with a sprinkle of pixie dust begin a magical journey across the stars. In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face-to-face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe,

a band of bungling pirates and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook. This is the second run for “Peter Pan” on the Moonlight stage. In 1996, the show was the third production of Season 16 with Steven Glaudini making his Moonlight acting debut as the oddly friendly pirate, Mr. Smee. Glaudini, who is now Moonlight’s artistic director, will direct the 2016 version of the crowd-pleasing musical and plans to take a sophisticated take
on a classic story. Not only will Glaudini breathe new life into a story that has been told hundreds of times before, but also provide the audience with the traditional moments they expect. Glaudini has cast principal roles from a mix of award-winning actors and others with a long history of performing at the Moonlight. Cast in the title role of Peter Pan is Misty Cotton, an Oceanside native who

began her acting career at the Moonlight. Cotton is an accomplished stage actress, capturing roles in Broadway and National Tours of “Miss Saigon,” “Les Misérables” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” opposite Donny Osmond. She was last seen at the Moonlight in the 2013 production of “The Who’s Tommy,” produced as part of Glaudini’s first season as artistic director. Rounding out the principal cast are Robert J. Townsend as Captain Hook, James Vasquez as Mr. Smee, Jill Townsend as Wendy and Elliot Weaver as John Darling. Townsend is a recent recipient of a San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Award for his portrayal of Georges in San Diego Musical Theatre’s “La Cage aux Folles.” Vásquez is another San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Award winner for playing Jacob in the same show. Tickets are $10 to $55. General admission lawn tickets are between $8 and $20 and include a lawn chair provided at entry.

FLOWER, a 1-year-old American
Staffordshire Terrier mix, is looking for a patient home to call her own. This darling girl has had a bit of a rough start, and has been working with her caregivers to gain more confidence. She originally came into our care from another shelter with multiple wounds throughout her body that needed immediate attention. Despite the amount of pain she was in, Flower remained sweet and loving throughout her treatment. Flower can be timid when it comes to new people, and prefers to approach new visitors at her own pace without being rushed. Once she feels safe with someone, her favorite thing to do is crawl into your lap, lean in for pets and give gentle kisses. Flower is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus located at 3450 East Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275 or visit sdhumane.org.

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.

Integrative medicine aids life after cancer TO YOUR HEALTH More than 14 million people in America count themselves as cancer survivors today and the number is expected to grow to almost 19 million by 2024. While this positive trend is certainly reason to celebrate, significant challenges often remain for patients, even after they are declared “cancer free.” “The end of treatment often brings a mixed-bag of emotions,” said David Leopold, M.D., who directs cancer survivorship services at the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. “Suddenly, patients are on their own and Dr. David they don’t know what to do or Leopold how to move forward. It’s like stepping off of a cliff.” Integrative medicine is helping to bridge the gap for a growing number of cancer survivors. Integrative medicine complements traditional medical care with a “whole person” Dr. William approach that addresses emotional, behavioral and Stanton spiritual well-being. The number of cancer survivors seeking integrative services at Scripps has more than doubled in the past few years. “Cancer survivors repeatedly have a group of problems that lend themselves well to integrative medicine,” said Dr. Leopold. “From managing pain and combating fatigue to dealing with anxiety and relationship changes, our goal is to focus on
patients’ needs.” Scripps offers a holistic approach to help meet the diverse needs of cancer survivors. Programs and services cover diet, exercise and lifestyle improvements, stress and pain management, as well as mind-body techniques aimed at improving quality of life. Survivors have a wide range of integrative services to choose from, including meditation, acupuncture, yoga, massage, nutritional guidance, healing touch (a gentle biofield therapy) and more. “Half of survivors have ongoing issues with fatigue without a clear cause,” said Leopold. “About a third experience lingering pain. Many have anxiety, as they worry about disease progression or recurrence or try to adapt to a new normal. Our goal is to give people back a sense of control that they may have lost following diagnosis.” Cancer is a significant life event and people need to work through the changes that result. “What we have found is that cancer leaves an invisible brand on a person. Patients need strategies to cope,” said William Stanton, M.D., an oncologist and the medical director of the Scripps Cancer Center. Scripps has developed an exceptionally high level of collaboration between its oncology and integrative medicine departments. Such teamwork between the two medical disciplines has been shown to provide patients with quality of life improvements, and in some cases, to extend life. “The more people that touch a cancer patient, the better off they are,” said Stanton. “It’s important for patients to feel like they are surrounded by opportunities for help.” “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

County reports increase of infected mosquitoes San Diego County’s vector control program has already collected more batches of West Nile virus-infected mosquitoes by the second week of July than it did in all of 2015. No people, either in the county or in the state, have tested positive for West Nile virus so far in 2016. However, county environmental health officials said the fact that they have already collected 53 batches of mosquitoes with the virus in July — compared to 49 in all of 2015 — should remind people to keep their guard up and protect themselves from mosquitoes and the virus. Last year in San Diego County, 44 people tested positive for West Nile virus and six died. Statewide, 753 people statewide tested positive and 53 people died. County officials said the increased number of mosquito batches collected in 2016 might be skewed slightly higher because vector control conducted several repeat tests in May of mosquitoes trapped around the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon because of a mosquito outbreak there. Vector control reported that, in addition to the mosquito batches, 132 dead birds and a horse — the first in the county reported this year — had also tested positive for the virus. While there is
no human vaccine for West Nile virus, there is one for horses. County officials urged horse owners to ask their veterinarians about getting their animals vaccinated. County officials also urged residents and visitors to follow the county’s “Prevent, Protect, Report” guidelines: Prevent mosquito breeding sites. Every week, dump out and clean containers that hold water inside and outside homes, from equipment to toys, flower pots, old tires, anything that can collect water. Fill plant saucers with sand or fine gravel so water won’t form pools where mosquitoes can breed. Protect yourself from mosquito bites. Wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors. Use insect repellent, preferably one containing DEET. Make sure the screens on your windows and doors are in good condition, do not have holes or tears, and are secured to keep insects out. Report if you are being bitten by mosquitoes during daylight hours, or if you find mosquitoes that match the description of the yellow-fever mosquito or Asian tiger mosquito, by contacting the Vector Control Program at (858) 694-2888 or vector@sdcounty.ca.gov.

June home sales decline in county SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The number of homes that changed hands in the San Diego region last month continued to fall in most categories amid tight inventory, new statistics show. Just over 2,200 single-family residences sold in June, 14 percent lower than May and 4 percent fewer than the same month last year, the San Diego Association of Realtors reported. For attached homes like condominiums and townhomes, 1,215 changed ownership last month. That’s 3 percent above May but 6 percent below June 2015. SDAR data shows that prices mostly rose, but not by much. The median price of a house sold in June was $567,500, which is $250 above May’s figure 4 percent over the same month last year. For condos, the median sales
price was $380,000, 1 percent higher than a month prior and 9 percent over one year ago. “Halfway through 2016, the residential real estate market is performing well, despite the limited number of homes for sale,’’ said SDAR President Cory Shepard. “Buyers who are in the market still have the benefit of wonderfully low interest rates.’’ Residential properties are staying on the market for less than a month, averaging 29 days in June, according to SDAR. The supply of resale homes is languishing at 2.3 months, about half of a healthy supply. The most expensive home sold last month was a 14-bedroom, 19-bath, 14,000-square-foot Coronado estate, circa 1926, that went for $13.3 million.

BUSINESS
New chamber chairman to focus on helping small businesses BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Helping small businesses succeed is among the stated goals of the North San Diego Business Chamber’s new board chairman, who recently began his one-year term. “The business chamber does a good job in helping businesses, particularly small businesses,” said Keith Wilschetz. “I want to focus on small businesses and all the things they worry about, like the rules and regulations they have to navigate.” One example is recent changes in federal wage laws pertaining to overtime pay. “Some of the regulations are not intuitive, so I want to help them understand since by Dec. 1 they must be compliant,” he said. The chamber is holding a free workshop on the topic at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 20 at Hewlett-Packard in Rancho Keith Bernardo. Register by 2 p.m. Wilschetz July 19 at sdbusinesschamber.com or call 858-487-1767. The City of San Diego’s minimum wage increase to $10.50 an hour, which went into effect Monday, is another example, he said. “Many (businesses) not within the city limit may still be affected if their employees work in and out of the city,” he said. Wilschetz’s empathy for small business owners dates back to his youth when he observed his father, a small business owner. “Growing up in St. Louis, I watched him struggle with regulations and understanding (them),” Wilschetz said. “He had no chamber like this and how much better (it would have been for him). I want to help the chamber provide (assistance) to businesses in North County.” For the past 10 years, Wilschetz has been the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority’s director of airport planning and noise mitigation. He has worked in the airport planning and leadership field for 30 years. Wilschetz earned his bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla and his master’s in executive leadership from the University of San Diego. Wilschetz said he also wants to help the Rancho Bernardo-based regional chamber focus on its strengths. He listed its Regional Connect monthly mixers, San Diego Women’s Week, Operation Connect program for military personnel transitioning into civilian careers and the Emerging Leaders
Network for young professionals. “These are real strengths that we can make better,” he said. Wilschetz said he joined the chamber’s board four years ago because “I have a passion for business, particularly small businesses.” As for why he wanted to be chairman, Wilschetz said, “A lot of times people come onto a position like this because they want to fix issues. I do not see a lot of problems with the chamber ... just see really good programs we can make better. “I want to make sure the members continue to see a return on their investment because small businesses do not have a lot of extra cash,” he said. “At the end of their fiscal year, I do not want them to get rid of (their membership) because they see it is too valuable.” Wilschetz said those considering a membership should attend a couple events, adding they are welcome to contact him if wondering how a membership can help them. He can be reached at kwilsche@san.org. Along with Wilschetz, the 2016-17 board officers are Charlie Piscitello (Petco Corp.) as chairman elect, Janet Beronio (Harrah’s Resort Southern California) as immediate past chairwoman, Jan Jones (The Elizabeth Hospice) as treasurer, Jason Cestaro (Mercedes-Benz of Escondido) as nominating committee and Debra Rosen, NSDBC president and CEO. The new board directors are Tom Briggs (Jones Day), Tim Durie (Newland Real Estate Group), Michael Flickinger (Maderas Golf Club), Stacey Hrountas (Sharp Rees-Stealy), Christine McGlade (Northrop Grumman), Steve Stallings (Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians) and Denise Visconti (Littler Mendelson). Returning directors are Derrick Breaux (ZCode Magazines), Melanie Duong (Sun Orthodontics), Jennifer Farnham (Gilbane Building Co.), Richard Marks (RDM Management Group), Robert McClure (San Diego Zoo Safari Park), Susan Miller (Oracle Corporation), Fred Nasseri (Unicorn Jewelry), Mike Peters (Pacific Western Bank), Patricia Reily (California State University San Marcos), Don Stanziano (Scripps Health), Rich Talmo (Palomar College Foundation), Ron Wasigner (Sony Electronics, Inc.) and Steve Wragg (Michael Baker International). The ex-officio directors are Darren Gretler (County of San Diego) and Alicia Gwynn (TAG Foundation).
Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG
Why speak to Rotary clubs?
B
etween finding good pizza, making new friends, and negotiating the highways, moving to a different city can be intimidating. This was driven home to me when we relocated from Boston in 2002 and knew nobody in California. After unpacking and settling our daughter into school, I set out to grow my consulting practice. Only…where does one start? My choice: public speaking about newsletter development. Thus was I introduced to San Diego’s 66 Rotary clubs, where each community’s movers and shakers meet weekly. Knowing each club typically hosts a speaker every week, I developed a 20-minute informational presentation and started my outreach efforts. Before long I was providing free advice to multiple high-powered audiences whose profile perfectly matched the kinds of people I wanted to meet personally and professionally. That room full of business owners and community leaders makes a Rotary club a tempting target for many speakers. Members socialize in a relaxed atmosphere and hope to learn something from their guest. The last thing they want is someone trying to sell stocks or timeshares. Meaning I needed to persuade listeners I was knowledgeable about
marketing without trying to sell them anything. Naturally, I made myself available after each talk in case anyone wanted to request a copy of my presentation, get more information, or schedule private consultations. Over the next nine months I spoke before 40 different clubs and met 1,000 prospective clients. I made friends, acquired some business and even uncovered the Rotary Club I’ve since called home. I’ve often heard that fear of public speaking is one of the biggest anxieties most people face and I was once like that too. But overcoming that fear helped me grow both my reputation and my bottom line. Since then I’ve leveraged the contacts made during Rotary tour ’02. My efforts have led to more friends, more business, more speaking engagements and this column. This was all because I stretched my comfort zone and addressed strangers with “Hello, today I’d like to talk with you about…” As you consider low-cost ways to build your business, consider informational presentations at area Rotary clubs. For the cost of gasoline you’ll get a meal, educate people about your business, and maybe join a new organization. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.
