BY STEVE DREYER A parade and community fair on Saturday will kick off three weekends of Poway Days activities. The 53rd annual Poway Days Parade will start at 9 a.m. Saturday on the south side of Poway Road. An estimated 100-plus entries are expected, including all five Poway Unified School District marching bands, dozens of school, veterans and civic groups, pageant winners, classic cars and equestrian units. The parade will begin at Pomerado Road and head east to its conclusion on Bowron Road. The reviewing stand will be near the Poway Library. This year’s theme is “Happiness is Helping Others.” The grand marshal is Poway resident Phil Harris, founder of Friends & Family Community Connection. There will be announcers at three locations along the parade route. They will be veteran San Diego radio

broadcasters Sam Bass and Dave Mason, Channel 10News meteorologist Megan Perry and KSON radio hosts Greg Raneiri. The popular annual parade is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Poway-Scripps. More information about the parade can be found at powaydaysparade.org. Parade attendees will be encouraged to walk over to Community Park following the parade to enjoy the return of a Poway tradition, Community Day. The Poway Days Committee has rebranded the event, dormant for several years, as the “Community Day Festival.” The free, family-friendly event will run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the park. Attendees will be able to ride shuttles back to their parked cars. A “family fun zone” with rides is planned along with 110 vendor booths and a beer garden. Robotics teams from 40 local and regional high schools will compete,

as will 75 “fly ball” dogs racing for best times in a sanctioned event. Young inventors will pitch their ideas in front of a panel of judges in “Fish Tank” competition starting at 2 p.m. There will be a “battle of the bands” from 5 to 8 p.m. and the selection of top community volunteers as “Powegians of the Year” at 4 p.m. Other Poway Days events include the inaugural “SeptemberFest” from 4 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 16, also at Community Park. Tickets to the event, which will feature wine and beer tasting and concerts by Ramshackle and Maddie Leigh, are on sale at powaydays.com. The event will also include an art show and a Madame Mechanic classic car show. Poway Days will conclude with the 45th annual Poway Rodeo on Friday, Sept. 22 and Saturday, Sept. 23. Tickets are available at powayrodeo.com.

BY PAM KRAGEN When a group of friends started the Poway Veterans Organization in 2014, their goal was to lend a hand to military veterans living in Poway and Ramona. But somewhere along the way, that mission grew. Over the past three years, the small, all-volunteer group has helped veterans from Imperial Beach to Palomar Mountain and

from Spring Valley to Vista. Co-founder Ed Berger said the reason is simple. “It’s hard to say no,” said Berger, who spent 22 years in the U.S. Navy. “We know what these veterans have gone through. Every one of these veterans is a special case, with their own unique character and circumstances. We SEE DIFFERENCE, A11

BY STEVE DREYER Poway will begin electing City Council members by districts starting in November 2018, using a map created by Mayor Steve Vaus. Meeting last Thursday night in special session, the council voted 5-0 to proceed with Plan 133, a slightly modified version Plan 127, one of the four semi-finalists selected on Aug. 18 by the council for further review. The selected plan, available for viewing at drawpoway.org, will be enhanced for improved viewing of interior streets. It will be the subject of public hearings at 7 p.m. Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. Oct. 3. Adoption is expected at the Oct. 3 meeting. The maps were prepared in response to a June 2 letter from attorney Kevin Shenkman threatening to sue the city. He claimed that its system of electing the four city councilmembers “at-large” violates the California Voting Rights Act because it “dilutes the ability of Latinos (a protected class) to elect candidates of their choice or otherwise influence the outcome of Poway’s elections.” His letter to the city noted that 15.7 percent of Poway’s population is Latino. Plan 133 has District 1 on the west side of the city, District 2 covering much of the northern and eastern sides, District 3 in the city’s northern and central sections and District 4 encompassing most of the city south of Poway Road. The plan has Councilman Dave Grosch in District 1, Councilmen Barry Leonard and Jim Cunningham in District 2, Councilman John Mullin in District 3 and no one in District 4. Grosch and Mullin will stand for reelection in November 2018. Leonard and Cunningham’s terms expire in 2020. While it’s possible the two could face off, Cunningham has said his SEE MAP, A10

FFCC to provide assistance to Hurricane Harvey victims Locals may donate money to help with the recovery efforts BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A team of five locals was scheduled to depart Wednesday for Texas, the first of what is projected to be several future trips by Friends & Family Community Connection to provide recovery assistance to those impacted by Hurricane Harvey. The Rancho Bernardo-based volunteer group founded and led by Poway resident and businessman Phil Harris was already scheduled to visit Pearland, Texas, (near Houston) to assist with a food packing event, Harris said. Last year a food packing — one of many volunteer opportunities FFCC hosts locally and across the country — was held there and FFCC volunteers were returning to assist with the second annual event sponsored by a Dream Dinners franchise there, scheduled for this Saturday, Harris said. He and his wife own a Dream Dinners franchise in Poway. Harris said while hundreds of volunteers from Texas were planning — prior to the hurricane — to help pack 100,000 meals between the Saturday event and another scheduled for today (Thursday) at Sysco in Houston, putting on such a large scale operation requires the assistance from locals here who have the entire process operating smoothly. A truck filled with FFCC’s food packing supplies, tents, tables and other necessary items recently departed from San Diego. Before the hurricane, one-third of the planned 100,000 easy-to-prepare, nutritious meals were to stay at a Houston food bank, while two-thirds were to be sent to Haiti. Due to Hurricane Harvey, all of the meals will stay in Texas to help feed the hurricane victims there, Harris said. He added that neither of the food packing venues was impacted by the recent flooding. Because of the hurricane and subsequent flooding, Harris said while the team is there through this weekend, members will also meet with government officials and others in Pearland, Rockport, Corpus Christi and Houston in order to establish relationships and plans for FFCC volunteers from here to return in early October to help in the recovery and rebuilding efforts. Their initial contact is with the Rotary Club in Pearland, due to a recent introduction by the Rotary Club of Poway-Scripps. Harris said he will be leaving Texas early because he needs to be back for the Poway Days parade on Saturday since he is the parade’s grand marshal. The four other team members will return Sunday. FFCC has a long history of providing such hurricane recovery assistance, Harris said, mentioning aid provided over multiple trips after Hurricanes Katrina, Irene and Sandy. FFCC volunteers focus on helping those in underserved areas. “We start by helping the families remove their damaged belonging to the street, because anything with moisture is the biggest concern,” Harris said. “Mold remediation is a huge issue because it can kill people.” Assistance over multiple trips will primarily utilize volunteers with carpentry, electric and plumbing experience, though anyone able

Friends & Family Community Connection founder Phil Harris speaking to volunteers at a 2007 FFCC food packing event in Rancho Bernardo, where more than one million meals were assembled. and willing to spend up to two weeks there helping is welcome. As Harris said, it does not require experience to pull up carpets, spray a bleach mixture to kill mold spores or remove furniture. Volunteers must pay their travel and associated expenses and be up-to-date on their immunizations, such as tetanus. Because of the conditions in Texas, Harris said the team was also planning to bring 100 or so water filter kits since having access to clean water is a critical health issue. “The next biggest concern is an outbreak of cholera,” Harris said. The kits cost $50 each and will provide more than 100 million gallons of clean water each, which in practical terms means they will not need to be replaced. They will be distributed to hurricane victims for free. “We continue to stress here, when we host food packing events, that every family should have (a water filter) in their home emergency kit,” he said. The simple filters are paired with a five-gallon bucket to provide drinkable water. He said anyone here who would like to assist with this effort is welcome to monetarily donate toward the filters so more can be provided in the future. FFCC is not planning on hosting any clothing drives since those are typically the efforts of other groups, but in the future it might bring donated trailers full of donated appliances and furniture to help victims, Harris said. For now, its fundraising efforts will be monetary, with 100 percent of what is donated going to the recovery efforts. Donors need to designate their contributions to Hurricane Harvey recovery since FFCC is involved with several philanthropic projects around the world. Tax-deductible donations can be mailed to FFCC, 12463 Rancho Bernardo Road, PMB #158, San Diego, CA 92128. Write “Hurricane Harvey Relief” on the check’s memo line. They can also be made online at ffccsd.org, with the hurricane designation typed into the instruction box. Anyone interested in joining a FFCC team to volunteer in Texas can fill out the form at ffccsd.org or contact Harris at 858-204-9643 or philffcc@san.rr.com for details.

Time to roll up your sleeve and get a flu shot BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK With local flu cases already being reported, health officials are reminding people about the importance for those of all ages to get their annual flu shot. Health experts recommend the vaccination for ages 6 months through adults. While the vaccine is no guarantee one will not catch the flu, medical experts say it can help ward off the most prevalent strains predicted by the Centers for Disease Control for the 2016-17 season and chosen by the Food and Drug Administration to decrease the severity and length of an illness. Doing so is important because sometimes the flu can lead to complications and be fatal, even among those without pre-existing health conditions. Medical clinics and pharmacies throughout the area have started providing the vaccine. Palomar Health is among those making it easy to get the vaccine. Its low-cost community clinics set up in churches, senior centers and hospitals are for ages 9 through adult. Of its 95 clinics planned, the first local one will be held on Sept. 15 in Poway. Clinics are scheduled through mid-January, though officials advise to get immunized as soon as possible. Since immunity lasts six to 12 months, the vaccine needs to be administered yearly. It takes about two weeks for immunized people to be protected from the flu virus. During the 2016-17 season there were 6,810 confirmed flu cases in the county, with 108 of those infected requiring treatment in the ICU and 87 deaths, according to county health officials. Most of those who died were 65 years or

older with underlying condition, however there were also two pediatric deaths. In addition to getting the vaccine, health officials say to follow tips like staying home if sick, following good hand and cough hygiene — washing hands frequently and coughing into one’s elbow — and, if possible, keeping one’s distance from those known to be ill. For young children two shots are sometimes needed — especially if never vaccinated against the flu before. Children as young as 6 months can receive the vaccine and a preservative-free version is available for pregnant women through their doctor. Children with asthma must also be vaccinated at a doctor’s office. Palomar Health’s clinics are providing the shot for $20 per person. Free shots are available to those unable to afford the fee, through a partnership with San Diego County’s Department of Health. Medicare is accepted for those who qualify. Those individuals must bring their Medicare card (the red, white and blue card). Payment is due at the clinic, payable by cash or check. Because children younger than 9 often need two doses of influenza vaccine, they cannot be vaccinated at the community clinics. However, Palomar Health’s Expresscare Clinics can give the vaccination to those as young as 4 years. For walk-in locations and hours, go to PalomarHealth.org/expresscare. Another option is Arch Health Partners’ Urgent Care in Poway in the Pomerado Outpatient Pavilion adjacent to Palomar Medical Center Poway. As for the Palomar Health clinics, the entire list can be viewed at tinyurl.com/PH-flu-shots17.

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Maranatha Christian School’s high school students are attending classes in a new academic building that recently opened. “With the completion of the new high school building, our students have experienced a dramatic positive shift in their learning environment,” said Principal Pete Plotnik. “From perimeter eating areas to the student center and a thematic interior design, the campus provides a welcoming community atmosphere. “Instructionally, the new building provides three dedicated science classrooms for biology, chemistry and physics,” Plotnik said. “Additionally, three classrooms are committed to studio and digital arts, providing increased opportunities in graphic design, photography and video production. “In all, 21 classrooms have been added for high school courses, providing for future STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) expansion. MCS has been tremendously blessed by the provision of resources to equip students for 21st century learning and prepare them for post-secondary opportunities,” he said. Maranatha officials launched their capital campaign fundraising for their Phase 1 expansion plans in fall 2015. At the time, they estimated it would cost $9.7 million to construct the 22,000-square-foot two-story high school building plus renovate and expand the campus’ athletic field area, build a new performing arts black box studio and provide additional funding for faculty salaries. They said at the time that the latter would especially be needed once more teachers were hired to meet the needs of Maranatha’s increasing high school student population after they were no longer in temporary classrooms and sharing buildings with Maranatha’s younger students.

The 2017-18 enrollment is 901 students campus-wide, with 288 in the high school, 161 in the junior high (seventh and eighth grade), 251 in the elementary school (kindergarten to sixth grade) and 201 in preschool, said Kathy Wall, MCS’ marketing coordinator. According to Wall, this is a record enrollment for the school, which was founded in 1991 with one teacher and eight students. By 1996 it grew to a K-8 campus, added the preschool in 2004 and established the high school in 2006 with 38 students among its freshman and sophomore classes. When plans were announced two years ago to build a separate high school building on the 100-acre campus in Santa Fe Valley, there were 179 high school students. Wall said plans to construct a high school began in 2014 when a new planning venture was launched to re-evaluate Maranatha’s mission. This included years of collaboration between faculty, staff, parents and students plus the leadership of Maranatha Christian Schools and Maranatha Chapel, the latter located in 4S Ranch. “One of the key objectives of the strategic plan was to grow and expand the high school program to promote innovative learning and optimal college readiness,” Wall said. “This would require expanding the facilities according to a comprehensive plan that would support growth in academics, arts and athletics.” There is no announced timeframe for the completion of Phase 1’s other components — like the athletic fields and theater — nor other expansion plans for later phases listed in Maranatha’s master plan. These include the addition of a junior high building; library, media resource, administration building; and a performing arts, gym, multipurpose building, Wall said.

Meadowbrook students explore science through Tech Trek BY EMILY SORENSEN Three Meadowbrook Middle School students recently explored science and technology at the annual Tech Trek camp. Yesenia Cruz, Kailee Johnstone and Ashley Perez, all 13-year-old eighth-graders, were sent to the camp on the campus of UCSD by the Poway-Peñasquitos Branch of the American Association of University Women. The AAUW branch also sponsored two girls from Black Mountain Middle School and two girls from Mesa Verde Middle School. Tech Trek is a one-week, academic residential science and math camp designed to develop interest, excitement and self-confidence in middle school girls, according to a press release. The girls spend a week living on a college campus and participating in hands-on activities in math, science and related fields. Instructors include credentialed middle school teachers and women who are currently engaged in STEM fields. Students are nominated by their science teachers, interviewed by the local AAUW branch and sponsorships offered to the girls selected. The camp offered seven core subjects: math, chemistry, marine biology, anatomy, forensics, coding and robotics. A subject was randomly chosen for each attending student. The girls attended classes in their core subjects in the morning, with afternoons spent on field trips to ViaSat,

I enjoy doing

science and math.” Perez said her coding class had the students make their own simple apps. “You can’t imagine how much programming goes into them. It was very interesting to find out.” She said she would like to study coding more in the future.

Johnstone, who was assigned anatomy, said she found the course interesting and fun because she likes science. She had not been previously interested in anatomy, she said, but her experiences at Tech Trek changed her mind. “I didn’t think I wanted to do it, but it was really fun. I would like to do a career in it.” Cruz was also assigned into anatomy and said he had had a previous interest in the subject. “It was really fun,” she said. “I’ve been considering being a medical examiner (as a career), so it was fun to experience the industry. It was so fun. I love to learn about the human body, it’s so interesting.” Her experience at Tech Trek inspired her to sign up for advanced science in eighth grade, she said. In addition to the hands-on learning the three girls undertook at the camp, they also got to listen to successful women in STEM fields give talks, something Perez said was her favorite thing at camp. “It was really cool to see all the women on the panel. It’s cool to see women work in these fields. It used to be only for men, so it’s very inspiring.” Cruz said she enjoyed meeting other girls who were interested in science. “I was really happy. There’s not a long of girls who like science. It was nice to meet other girls who have the same interests (as me).” For Johnstone, she said her favorite part was when her teacher brought in cow lungs, blew them up and demonstrated how lungs work.

Council backs permanent ban on pot dispensaries

FROM MAP, A1 current term, his third, will be his last. South Poway residents will elect their first councilmember in 2020. The position of Poway mayor will continue to be elected at-large. Vaus, who disclosed Thursday that he authored Plans 127 and 133, said they featured a separate district for south Poway and the lines of three districts touching on both Poway Road and Pomerado Road. That’s important, he said, as future development along Poway Road and a proposed high-pressure underground gas line along Pomerado Road will be important issues during the next few years. Grosch, who previously disclosed he had drawn semi-finalist Plan 123, said that while he still liked his plan best, he could go along with Plan 133. Mullin called Plan 133 “the least objectionable,” and added “I’m still not saying we’re improving our system of go-vernment” by switching to the by-district election process. The other two semi-final plans were drawn by the National Demographics Corporation – the city-hired consultant – and by Poway resident former council candidate Pete Babich. While the Poway council is wrapping up its mapping process, the Poway Unified School District on Thursday held the first of four public meetings on how to draw maps for five trustee area. The PUSD also received a letting in June making that same claim that its at-large election process violates state law. A public hearing held at the district

NATIONAL DEMOGRAPHICS CORP.

Map 133 was unanimously approved Aug. 31 by the City Council. It can be viewed in more detail at drawpoway.org. office lasted only 15 minutes and drew two speakers. The district has hired the same demographic firm used by the City of Poway. Its president, Douglas Johnson, said the process will be nearly identical to the one used by the council, including the use of a map-drawing software. The only difference, he said, is that final approval of a PUSD map will come from the San Diego County Board of Education, following PUSD board approval.

BY STEVE DREYER The City Council voted Tuesday night to make permanent a ban on marijuana dispensaries coming to Poway. The 5-0 vote came as no surprise, as ordinances temporarily imposing the ban were approved twice last year. The latest temporary ban was set to expire in Oct. 27. The permanent ordinance introduced Tuesday night prohibits dispensaries, collectives and retail businesses along with manufacturing and storage facilities and the operation of delivery services. It also prohibits the outdoor cultivation of marijuana in all parts of the city. State voters last November approved Proposition 64, which legalizes marijuana use for person 21 years and older. The measure also permits the growing of up to six marijuana plants

per household. In Poway, the growing must be done indoors. The Poway ordinance does not turn residents using marijuana for medical purposes into lawbreakers providing they are abiding to the state’s medical marijuana rules. Seven persons spoke at a hearing prior to the council voting to introduce the ordinance. While a couple of them questioned the city possibly leaving sales tax money on the table by banning dispensaries, (money they said might be used to help law enforcement), others praised the city’s hard stance on the issue. Mayor Steve Vaus said “no amount of money” would sway him from his position. Councilman Jim Cunningham said that he’d like the see the council also address the issue of abuse of prescription drugs by Poway youngsters.

Boys report kidnapping attempt Sheriff’s deputies are investigating the reported attempted kidnapping of two boys walking on Martincoit Road in Poway on Aug. 31. The boys, ages 12 and 9, said they were approached by a white van at about 6:12 p.m. The 12-year-old said he saw the front passenger was wearing a black ski mask and had rolled the window down. The boy said the man tried to grab him, yelling “Get into the car.” The boy said he got away and the

van sped away. The two boys ran to a nearby friend’s house and called 911, deputies said. The front passenger wearing a ski mask was described as possibly being a white male with muscular, hairy arms. The boys were unable to describe the other two people in the van. They said the van was an older, dirty model with a noticeable dent over the rear passenger tire. Anyone with information should contact the sheriff’s Poway station at 858-513-2800.

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP - SEPTEMBER 7, 2017 - PAGE A11

FROM DIFFERENCE, A1 treat them all as needy and deserving.” This summer, the group is overseeing home repair projects for two veterans in the Vista area. In the past, they’ve repaired flood damage for a 97-year-old female veteran in Ramona; donated a piano to the Veterans Administration hospital in La Jolla; unloaded moving vans for a veteran with multiple sclerosis in Ramona; driven veterans to doctor’s appointments; donated meals to military families at Thanksgiving; purchased Girl Scout cookies for patients in military hospitals; and helped a veteran send truckloads of donations to typhoon victims in the Philippines. The group may be largely unknown to the public, but it’s held in high esteem by Ray Flores, executive director of the San Diego Veterans Coalition. The coalition has 150 member groups, including nonprofits, for-profits and government organizations dedicated to veterans services. Poway Veterans Organization joined the coalition two years ago after a six-month vetting process that Flores said the group passed with flying colors. “We know they’re a top-notch and rock-solid organization,” Flores said. “I categorize my members by the amount of time and support they provide to the community. Poway is consistently at the top of that measurement. They’re very active, they’re well known in the veterans community and their credibility is wonderfully high.” The Poway Veterans Organization was started by retiree Bill McKibbin, 65, of Poway. His father fought in World War II, his uncle served in the Korean War and his brother went to Vietnam. As a teen, McKibbin attended a military high school but went to college on a football scholarship and his draft number was never called. “I didn’t get to serve when I was young, so I look at what I’m doing right now as my service to the country,” McKibbin said. About 10 years ago, he began coordinating dinners that raised a couple thousand dollars a year for military service organizations. After about five years, he realized that if he moved the events to a bigger hall he could raise even more money. He reached out to Poway Elks Lodge officer Dennis Rasmussen, a 26-year Navy veteran, and the first dinner at the lodge raised nearly $20,000 in one night. That led to the creation of the Poway Veterans Organization, with McKibbin as chair, Rasmussen as co-chair, Berger as treasurer and local real estate professional Moon Rash as secretary. The group now has about 15 active members. Because the group has no office or paid staff, Berger said 97 percent of the money raised goes back into veterans projects. The organization’s principal fundraiser is an

annual golf tournament, organized by board member Nick Yorio. This year’s tournament was held on Monday at the Country Club at Rancho Bernardo. This year’s goal was to net $15,000 at the event. While it serves veterans countywide, the Poway Veterans Organization’s specialty is helping elderly Navy and Marine Corps war veterans who’ve retired to Poway, Ramona and surrounding communities. “We see these people every day. We know them,” Berger said. “When we get a request for assistance, we can’t turn them down.” McKibbin and Berger met more than 30 years ago when their children played soccer together. Since Berger retired in 2003, he has volunteered full-time for veterans. Besides the 15 to 25 hours a week he spends on Poway Veterans Organization projects, Berger also spends most mornings driving older veterans to doctor appointments. In 2015, he was named San Diego County Veteran of the Year by the Veterans Museum in Balboa Park. The organization’s biggest upcoming project is repair work on the Vista home of 86-year-old Marine veteran Robert Olsen. Olsen and his family moved into their home off Melrose Drive in 1975, and the house — with two buildings constructed in 1925 and 1943 — is in major need of repair. Sometime in the next couple of weeks, the crew will replace shutters, repaint wood trim, restore the floor in a bathroom, repair concrete at the entryway steps and replace the wiring in an outdoor lamp. This will be the second time the group has helped the Olsen family. Last year, organization members installed an adaptive shower for Olsen, who lost his right leg in the Korean War. He said he’s deeply grateful for their help. “I used to do most of these jobs myself, but over the years, it’s been more difficult for me,” he said. “What they’re doing is wonderful. They’re wonderful people.” Olsen’s son, Jeffrey — who donated $1,000 toward his dad’s home repair project — said it’s not easy for veterans to ask for help because they’re trained to be independent. “Maybe if more veterans know that groups like this exist, the veterans might be more inclined to ask for help. They do a good service,” Jeffrey said. Most of the jobs Poway Veterans takes on are referrals from the Veterans Coalition and from 211 San Diego, a free, 24-hour resource hub that connects the public with service organizations. Steve Alt, veteran and military manager at 211 San Diego, said his experience working with Poway Veterans on projects like Olsen’s shower installation last year has been “outstanding.” “We call on a lot of groups, that’s our job. Poway Veterans is very good. We can count on them to help out,” Alt said. Kragen writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Then and Now BY MARY SHEPARDSON

Poway Days began with a ‘Wow’

t all started in 1961 with a horse show. In small-town Poway, the opportunities for large-scale community activities were limited. The “Water Festival,” annually celebrating the arrival of a municipal water supply in 1954 was pretty much it. In the short time since the arrival of water, Poway’s population had virtually exploded — from a few hundred to more than 5,000. New clubs and organizations were formed. One of these was the Poway Valley Riders Association, started in 1960, the founders saying that Poway was a “horse country” alternative to city living. Just a year later, club members came up with an audacious plan to host a three-day “National Horse Show” here on Labor Day

weekend. Indian themes were popular here at the time (witness the name of the Poway Chieftain, which began publishing in April of 1961), and the event was named Pow Wow Days and the cartoon logo of Poway Valley Homes was adopted for the event. Organizers needed an arena to host the show. It was quickly constructed on vacant land in a valley west of Twin Peaks Road, which then ended at Midland. The program featured western and English events, with classes for Arabians, Quarter Horses and Appaloosas, and a gymkhana competition. There were even match races. (A friend showed my horse, Red, in a couple of events. As a trail horse, he was no doubt a bit bewildered by the goings on.)

There was more than just a horse show. The riding club sponsored a parade. Square dances were held at three locations in town. Merchants at the brand new Poway Plaza Shopping Center sponsored a street dance on Saturday evening. A “Poway princess” was chosen through a popularity contest, with merchants sponsoring candidates and urging customers to deposit penny “votes” into contest jars. There was a Sunday morning service presided over by ministers from three area churches on a hilltop overlooking the show grounds. The Chieftain reported after the event that it had been the largest horse show ever held in San Diego County, with 1,200 show entries and some 10,000 in

The area where it had stood would continued to be know as “The Arena” for many years by off-road vehicle enthusiasts, until Twin Peaks was cut through to Pomerado in the 1980s.) The Pow Wow Days concept has evolved over the years. In 1964, PVRA handed the parade over to the Chamber of Commerce. In the 1970s, “Smoothie Badges” were all the rage. Men who didn’t grow facial hair and women who didn’t

don western clothes could buy a badge or face “arrest” and a brief incarceration in a portable “jail.” It was the sort of thing that can only be done in a town small enough that everyone pretty much knows each other. The Poway Posse staged mock shoot-outs around town. A rodeo replaced the annual horse show. The Poway Chamber of Commerce introduced Community Day in 1984, with a host of activities at Community Park after the parade. Events included a “Whiskeroo” contest, a cow chip toss, skits by the Poway

Posse, a host of performances and demonstrations and competitions for children and adults. In the mid-1980s, the name was changed from Pow Wow Days to Poway Days. The reason was not, as one might today imagine, for reasons of “political correctness.” Rather, according to chamber officials, it would reflect an improved image that would benefit the city and attract visitors to local businesses. In 1989, the News Chieftain (“News” was added in 1962) reported, the parade attracted a record 128 entries and 31 floats. Attendance at Community Day was estimated at 20,000, an increase of 7,000 over the previous year. Faced with a host of competing activities, Poway Days has languished as of late. Now a new group of enthusiasts aim to reinvigorate it this year with a range of community events. While the name won’t be changed, they’re hoping to put the “Pow” back in Poway Days.

EDITORIAL

Be a part of Poway Days fun T

here are not many San Diego communities that can boast having a family-friendly celebration that dates back more than 50 years. We are glad to say Poway does. On Saturday, the 53rd annual Poway Days Parade will head down Poway Road starting at 9 a.m. For all indications, it will be a great parade, with all five local high school marching bands, school and community groups, equestrian entries, some cool cars and maybe a couple of floats. Members of the Rotary Club of Poway-Scripps have been working hard to do whatever is necessary to make this the best parade ever. The theme is “Happiness is Helping Others,” and parade grand marshal Phil Harris, founder of Friends & Family Community Connection, certainly represents the best in volunteerism. The hope here is that Poway Road will be lined with families to enjoy the parade. Bring a low-backed chair or a blanket. Don’t forget water for everyone. Then, after the parade walk over to the nearby Community Park and enjoyed the revitalized and reinvented Community Day Festival. (Don’t worry about your parked car. Shuttles will be available at the park to take you back.) A long-time favorite, Community Day faded away a few years ago but has been reborn thanks to the efforts of the Poway Days Committee, chaired by Ted Dawson. There will be well over 100 vendors booths of all kinds, exciting “fly ball” dog challenges, a high school robotics competition, a large kid zone with rides, a “Fish Tank” (think “Shark Tank” for kids), plenty of live music, food vendors and a beer booth. A late-afternoon highlight will be honoring of a top community volunteer. Saturday is the first of three weekends that will be devoted to Poway Days fun. Tickets are on sale at powaydays.com for the inaugural “SeptemberFest,” a late afternoon of beer, wine and live music, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 16, also at Community Park. And of course there is the return, for the 45th year, of the Poway Roado on Friday, Sept. 22 and Saturday, Sept. 23. Buy your rodeo tickets at powayrodeo.com. Yes, there is still a little bit of “country” left in “The City in the Country.” Whether you’re a longtime resident, a newcomer or even if you live outside of town, enjoy Poway Days. It’s something special.

OUR READERS WRITE Making children smile The Care ‘n Share Toy Drive 2017, a project of Torrey Pines Rotary Club, is pleased to announce distribution of over 14,700 new and gently used stuffed animals as a result of our collection drive during the San Diego County Fair. A hearty thanks goes out to the staff of the Rancho Bernardo Library and the 4S Ranch Library locations for hosting collection boxes and to the wonderful Rancho Bernardo and 4S Ranch area residents who filled the boxes to overflowing! Thanks too to National Charity League, Del Sol Chapter for their help at the fair. We could not have done this without the wonderful support of the community. The smiles on the faces of the children who receive the donations make it so worthwhile. The stuffed animal donations have been distributed to Promises2Kids, Foundation for the Children of the Californias, Dignity Delivery, San Diego Police Department’s Southeastern Division Juvenile Services Team, Rady Children’s Hospital Audiology Department and many other organizations serving health and welfare needs of children in the region.

The right to choose Regarding Della Link’s Aug. 31 letter, I'd like to

make one thing clear about Democrats who support the right of choice. No one, Republican or Democrat, supports abortion. However, we do believe in the individual's right to choose for themselves. Whether it's right or wrong, it is their choice and we have no right judging, which is supposed to be taken care of by a higher power, not by those who think they of themselves as equals to God. Barbie Bigelow Poway

Lyles should ‘man up’ Identity politics are not that severe of a threat to America, but if columnist Dick Lyles (Aug. 31) wants to play the game of identity politics, I'll bite. How about he mans up and actually denounces Nazis? It is quite possibly the easiest statement to make, and yet Lyles somehow failed to do it in his recent column. To Michael Schwarz (Letters Aug. 31.) Even as a gun owner, I do not appreciate the executive director of a political action committee, a former banking executive and non-community member meddling in the politics of the place that I grew up in. His little scare tactic statement about “protection of your family, yourself and your dignity” is way too over the top. We live in Poway, one of the most pleasant communities in all of California. What do we possibly need to defend ourselves from? Rob McDonnell Poway

Just Sayin’ BY HARVEY LEVINE

Stand up to bigotry

ometimes a major newsworthy event involving chaos and tragedy creates such a backlash as to awaken democracy-loving people from their deep sleep. Such was the calamity in Charlottesville and the aftermath at the vacation White House. How could we, as a democratic, inclusive nation have ignored the ugly cancer of white supremacy? We knew it was there and allowed it to not only fester, but to be almost legitimized. It’s bad enough for a city to invite lawless hate mongers to march in their streets and parks. But when the authorities see an ugly mob, wearing military attire, carrying torches, shields, clubs, knives and guns – how can they stand far away from the impending explosion, “hoping” that things won’t get out of hand? Is this stupidity or is it tepid acceptance of the alt-right? Or both? The City of Charlottesville not only erred in its complacency with handling

the impending danger, but also failed to recognize the expanding tools of terrorism, including motor vehicles. It should now be standard procedure in instances of public assembly of large groups, anywhere, to prevent motor vehicles from co-occupying the areas where such vulnerable groups are assembled. I hope that municipalities all over the country learn some lessons from this unfortunate calamity. But there are two much larger issues here. It should be quite obvious that the president, given an opportunity to show his colors, could not bring himself to condemn white supremacy in all its incarnations. Even when, 48 hours later, he read a statement of condemnation, he immediately followed it up with tweets to the contrary and more attacks on the press and “fake news.” All through the presidential campaign and his seven months of contentious leadership,

Get Real BY DICK LYLES

Saying goodbye to the NFL

t’s football season again and I’ve finally crossed the threshold. For years I’ve been threatening a personal boycott of the National Football League. During August, after much deliberation, I took the leap. I will not attend any more professional games. Nor will I watch any professional football games on television, the internet or through any other means. Before you jump to the conclusion that I’ve made an easy commitment simply because the Chargers have left San Diego, let me explain. Implementing this decision will be hard because I have friends who are current and former players, as well as friends and acquaintances who own teams. I have always loved the sport. A high point of the year for me has always been the opening game of the professional season. Most of my friends and family have also been avid fans, so football has been an important part of my relationship with many people who I hold dear. Giving up professional football is like giving up a piece of me. But like so many prominent features of the American landscape, professional football has been ruined by

multiple bad decisions over the years that make it harder and harder to like. The final blow has been the NFL’s total mismanagement of the incidents spawned by Colin Kaepernick’s decision to disrespect America and to encourage other players to do likewise during the playing of our national anthem. Before anyone goes off on Kaepernick’s right to free speech and all that garbage, hear me out. The issue is simple and has nothing to do with free speech or freedom of expression. The national anthem is a tribute to America. Traditionally it has been played before sporting events to honor our country for giving us the freedom to enjoy these pastimes. No one, including the NFL, is required to play it before games. However, if they do so choose, then they should ensure that their employees respect that choice by showing proper reverence during the tribute. By not having their employees act respectfully while the anthem is played, the NFL is disrespecting both the anthem and our country. The logic is really very simple. If you’re going to

Donald Trump has openly sought and accepted support from white supremacists. And the rest of his supporters were just fine with this. Somehow, we as a nation have turned a blind eye to this blatant attack on our democracy and on major segments of our population. Trump’s supporters are not only accepting of his outrageous social and character flaws, they are also complacent with his openly visible bigotry. Perhaps now, as we are beginning to see some overdue pushback, his previous supporters will say “This is enough. This is not what we are in America.” The other issue is what are we, as individuals, going to do about this cancer of white supremacy? What are we going to do to combat the hatefulness? The answer must be a visible and forceful shunning, not only of all forms of white supremacy groups, but also the complete shunning of anyone who does not denounce such groups. Each of us, as individuals, can be counted in this war against hatefulness. If you know someone who by actions or words would condone the bigotry of ethnic, racial or religious hatefulness, you have the option and the obligation of standing up and saying “This is not acceptable.” Then remove these individuals from your social circle. I guess that in the current vernacular, it would be like “unfriending.” If enough of us act out to show that bigotry is not acceptable,

choose to show respect, do so unequivocally. If you’re not going to show reverence in a respectful manner, don’t do anything. Not all teams have allowed disrespectful displays, but those that have — along with the NFL — are revealing themselves to be spineless and unpatriotic. The decision by the NFL to condone unpatriotic insults to our country is sufficient reason to spur my boycott. But in fairness I should reveal that I was already on the verge of walking away because of numerous previous bad decisions and the impact the NFL’s subculture, driven by greed and narcissism, has had on American culture. The league’s quest for profit has ruined the game. The cost of attending a game is outrageous. The delays in the game for commercials drag out the experience to the threshold of boredom. Instant replays haven’t improved the game. Even with the replays, many rulings still remain questionable. Replays simply allow owners to make even more money by running TV commercials while the referees try to sort things out. The NFL has also virtually abandoned players who suffer from prolonged brain injury inflicted while playing football. This is a huge problem. The league’s feeble response has been downright shameful. As the NFL becomes ever more unwatchable, I’ll gladly watch college games for my autumn “football fix.” It is refreshing to see the energy, pride and tradition the pros have lost. Go Navy, beat Army! Lyles, a Poway resident, is a management consultant and best-selling author.

we will isolate the bigots. Silence is a form of acquiescence. Silence, by those on the right in the face of hateful speech and acts by individuals, hate groups and the president, is a loud statement of approval. Silence, by those on the left, in the face of any act of bigotry or in the company of bigots is inexcusable. If we believe that this form of discrimination and hatefulness is wrong, then we are obligated to stand up and be counted as being deeply offended and outraged. We must not stand by in silence. This disease of hatefulness can spread only if we stand idly by and do nothing. And then, we lose our democracy, our freedom and our self-esteem. Silence, in the face of this attack on humanity, is cowardly and indefensible. For a long time, the workings of the white supremacists have been mostly underground. They did their dirty deeds in the darkness of night under the cover of hoods and masks. But now, perhaps emboldened and encouraged by the White House, they have come out of the closet to spread their hatred. This is the next step on an inevitable path to overthrow our democracy – with the loss of the Constitution’s guarantee of equal opportunity and treatment for all. Now is the time to stop this runaway train in its tracks. A Rancho Bernardo resident, Levine is a retired project management consultant and the author of three books on the subject.

Body found near car off Poway Road BY PAULINE REPARD A woman’s body was found near a wrecked car at the bottom of a brushy slope along Poway Road in Poway Saturday. Authorities said it appeared that she may have lain there for about two days. A passer-by glimpsed the blue Geo Metro hatchback nearly hidden amid thick brush and trees below Poway Road just east of Mina de Oro Road, sheriff’s Sgt. Andrew Mowins said. The witness called 911 about 4:30 p.m. Deputies made their way down the embankment and saw the car leaning against two large trees, Mowins said. The

woman’s body lay nearby, not far from a small pond. She apparently had been ejected from the car when it crashed. The driver’s door was hanging open. Mowins said the car is registered to a Ramona resident, but investigators have not confirmed the driver’s identity. She was headed west when the car went off the road, he said. The road was closed in both directions between state Route 67 and Espola Road for several hours during the investigation. Repard writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

RB man uses his fundraising expertise to inspire youngsters Stan Levenson has written his first children’s book BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Fundraising expert Stan Levenson has turned his book-writing skills toward a younger readership to inspire them — and their parents. The Rancho Bernardo resident has written several books on fundraising, including “The Essential Fundraising Guide for K-12 Schools” that was released a couple years ago. In that one, he explained the grant process, multitude of funding sources available and provided more than 350 website links to help people quickly access potential funding providers. Now he has written a children’s book to let youngsters know that they too can help entities such as their schools. In “Juan and Gwen’s Big Fundraising Surprise,” Levenson has two children create and lead a large yard sale in order to raise money so they can fix up their school. Through the sale featuring donated items — plus monetary donations community members are inspired to give — the children raise over $50,000. “I’ve dreamed of doing a children’s book, but never realized how difficult (it is),” Levenson said. “I wanted to get it right, so the kids would enjoy the book and parents who buy the book would be interested in it as well when they read it to the kids.” While the tactics he suggests are greatly simplified in this writing venture, Levenson said it “ties in beautifully” to what he has promoted in the past and to his over 1,600 Twitter followers. Levenson said he is largely relying on social media to promote the book since “marketing is the most difficult part of writing a book.” Though geared to students at the fifth and sixth grade reading level, Levenson said he incorporated subtle messages for adults who read it, such as the idea to contribute to the schools they attended as children.

ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK

Rancho Bernardo resident Stan Levenson holding the first children’s book has written. “(I wanted) to have alumni think about giving back to their schools,” he said. Levenson also said he was very intentional with the naming of his characters, making sure they were multicultural. He is also working on having a Spanish translation published in the future. He said the publishing process also was a lesson in multiculturalism for him. Through the use of a freelance service, Levenson paired up with illustrator Ifat Naim from Bangladesh. Due to cultural perceptions there, Levenson said he had to really convince Naim to draw certain situations — such as the principal falling from his chair in shock when learning the amount of money raised — since Naim viewed such as situation as disrespectful to an authority figure. Levenson said that high regard for certain individuals — such as a school principal — also explains why the style of the principal’s face is different from the other characters, which are drawn in a more cartoonish fashion.

Proceeds from the book — sold on Amazon and other online book sellers for $19.99 as a paperback or $9.99 as an ebook — are being donated to websites such as donorschoose.org, Levenson said. The RB resident for the past 17 years and previous Powegian has a bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Oswego, a master’s from the University of California Los Angeles and a doctorate from the United States International University (now Alliant International University). He has written numerous articles about fundraising and often been interviewed in various media as an expert on the subject. His wife, Kay Pantelis, taught for 40 years in the Poway Unified School District. His 40-plus years career has focused on fundraising at the kindergarten through high school level and included being the coordinator of special projects for the Sweetwater Union High School District, where Levenson said over the course of 13 years he raised at least $16 million.

North County Gymnastics and The Gyminny Kids celebrating 30th anniversary Event is open to the public BY EMILY SORENSEN North County Gymnastics and The Gyminny Kids is celebrating its 30th anniversary from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday with a free street fair-style event. “We wanted to say thank you to the community for helping to keep our doors open for 30 years,” said Karen McGuire, program director. The celebration, which is open to the public, will include music, games for children, local businesses with booths and a visit from 2008 Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin. The event will be held in the gymnasium’s parking lot at 17022 Camino San Bernardo in 4S Ranch. For information, call 858-451-0204. Liukin’s visit is the culmination of a three-month fundraiser the business has been holding for Children’s Miracle Network. The 30 students who raised the most money will spend time in a private gymnastics clinic with Liukin at the event. Some of the businesses that will be present at the event include Luna Grill, Baked Bear, Pig Tails and Crew Cuts, as well as representatives from LuLa Roe, essential oils and more. The business was opened in 1987 by husband-and-wife team Rob Bryson and Liz Mullarkey, who still own it but have stepped back in the day-to-day operations.

something else (like a weekend seminar on car buying), then the mailing would have made sense. But selling us something we already possess? That’s ridiculous! Studies increasingly show direct mail being more effective than email. Companies are rapidly backing away from overcrowded in boxes, preferring to appear in underutilized mail boxes. Physical mailings can’t be easily deleted. There’s little competition for attention and you can tell a more robust story. Admittedly, there are costs for printing, postage and the mailing list. But if you’re finding email doesn’t produce as well as you’d like it to, perhaps it’s time to rediscover direct mail. Assuming you do down this road, you’ll want to consider partners, offers, pricing and audience before you strategize, design or write a word. Most important, though, is whether your goal is working solo or collaborating with a partner, it’s critical to cull the names of current customers and either purge them or send them a different offer. Because that decision lowers your costs while telling customers whether you’re a smart marketer… or just plain lazy. The choice is yours. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

The Choice/AAA partnership sorta makes sense, given the probability of our driving to a hotel. The nine pieces in the package followed the rules of good direct mail. There was a sense of urgency, a tempting offer, a comprehensive story touting AAA membership, and a premium for joining quickly. Choice Hotels provided the mailing list to cross-sell AAA membership. And I’d be jumping for joy except for one tiny flaw; We’re already AAA members, and her name’s in AAA’s computers. Oops! It seems someone forgot to clean out the Choice list of people already belonging to AAA. This resulted in wasted marketing dollars, simultaneously demonstrating Choice’s lack of awareness. After all, why should we buy services to which we already subscribe? Cleaning out mailing lists isn’t a big deal, provided you remember to do it. Which explains why merging and purging is on my checklist whenever I’m working with any kind of mailing list. Of course, if Choice and AAA wanted to sell us

The idea behind the business was to provide a place where children and adults could learn gymnastics without having to be part of a competitive team, said McGuire. “A lot of the (gymnastics programs in the area at the time) were competitive. (The owners) wanted to provide something for everybody.” Classes start at 15 months and continue through adulthood. “It’s a great opportunity for families to do activities together at the same time,” McGuire said. “We try to accommodate families and provide that personal touch.” There are about 2,500 students who attend at least one class a week at the business, McGuire said, while many train there more than once a week. Along with traditional gymnastics, the business also offers parent/child classes, ninja classes, demonstration teams and circus classes. It also offers competitive teams for boys and girls, which were started in the last five years and have been very successful, said McGuire. The quality and loyalty of the staff is a big contributor to the business’ success, said McGuire, who has been with the company for 12 years. She said many of the staff members have remained with the business for a long time. “We’ve been very fortunate and blessed with supportive staff. We have an amazing array of personnel that can connect with any child.”

PREP FOOTBALL

Titans, Broncos looking to bounce back Del Norte secures first win of young season BY TERRY MONAHAN Del Norte got its first football win of the season last week, beating Fallbrook 27-21. On Friday, the Nighthawks entertain No. 6 San Marcos in hopes of continuing their winning ways. Maranatha is also coming off a victory after defeating Calipatria 52-6 in last week’s regular season opener for the Eagles before visiting winless Orange Glen. Poway and Rancho Bernardo are both coming off losses. Here is a closer look at this week’s games: Poway (1-1) at Olympian (1-1), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Poway lost to Lincoln 50-13; Olympian lost to Grossmont 37-21. Notes: Poway’s offense is still trying to find a good groove. No matter if the Titans use T.J. Elinton at quarterback or run the Wildcat attack with running back Garrett Van Nostrand taking snaps, one thing is certain: Poway is going to stay on the ground. Poway split two games with the Eagles in 2016, beating them 17-10 during the regular season but then losing to them in the playoffs 27-19. Olympian lost last week’s game, a 37-21 decision to Grossmont.

Prediction: Otay Ranch 17, Rancho Bernardo 14 No. 6 San Marcos (2-0) at Del Norte (1-1), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: San Marcos beat Bonita Vista 55-0; Del Norte beat Fallbrook 27-21. Notes: San Marcos has won all seven previous meetings with Del Norte, including last year’s 47-14 victory. The Nighthawks must continue to improve on offense with QB Francisco Sanchez leading the way. Last week a touchdown pass from Francisco Sanchez with 27 seconds to play proved to be the game-winning points. Prediction: San Marcos 35, Del Norte 14

MONTE UMSTED

The Poway High School varsity football team runs out onto the field Friday night during its home opener against Lincoln. The Titans lost the game 50-13. Prediction: Olympian 21, Poway 18 Otay Ranch (1-1) at Rancho Bernardo (0-2), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Otay Ranch lost to Valley Center 28-21; Rancho

Bernardo lost to El Camino 29-22. Notes: Rancho Bernardo is still searching for its first win after last week’s loss at El Camino. The Broncos also lost running back-inside linebacker Jack Gaylord with a sprained shoulder. Gaylord leads the team with 83 rushing yards and a TD

and tops the defense with 20 tackles. Tahj Martin and Dallin Dunn must pick up the running game. Luke Manos is second in tackles with 17. QB Christian Lewis is 21-for-40 passing for 231 yards and a TD but five interceptions. Rancho Bernardo has won both previous meetings.

Maranatha Christian (1-0) at Orange Glen (0-2), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Maranatha Christian beat Calipatria 52-6; Orange Glen lost to Hoover 17-14. Notes: Maranatha played its first game last week after a first-week bye. The Eagles scored early and often against Calipatria, breezing to the season-opening victory. This is the first meeting. Orange Glen is trying to snap a five-game losing streak, dating back to last season. The Patriots have scored just 14 points in two games thus far. Prediction: Orange Glen 14, Maranatha Christian 13

FIELD HOCKEY PREVIEWS

Poway, Rancho Bernardo High begin defense of titles

Rancho Bernardo's Hailey O'Connor scores from the corner during last season's CIF finals.

BY TERRY MONAHAN Last season, two field hockey champions were crowned out of the Palomar League. Poway went undefeated in league play with an 8-0 record to claim the league championship, its first in the sport. But the season ended in the opening round of the San Diego Section’s Open Division playoffs with a 3-1 loss to Rancho Buena Vista. The other championship went to Rancho Bernardo, which claimed the Division II section crown, also its first section title ever. “It was incredible to do that the first time,’’ Rancho Bernardo coach Katy Sirota, whose team was 13-8-1 overall and 3-5 in league play last season. “They worked so hard to make that happen and they believed in themselves at the end.

“They won four games the year before and just two games the year before that. “Field hockey was more of an activity before last year. Now we’re a sport.’’ DEL NORTE Coach: Jason Askegreen 2016 record: 8-13-1 Division: I Key players: Amanda Collins, Haley Aker. Outlook: The Nighthawks, who were 3-5 last year in their first season in the Palomar League, opened this year with a 2-0 loss to Cathedral Catholic. The offensive burden will be shouldered by Collins, who had 14 goals and six assists as a junior, and Aker, who scored four goals in 2016. This is Askegreen’s sixth season as the head coach of the Nighthawks.

POWAY Coach: Brittany Parrish 2016 record: 17-4 Division: I Key players: F Lauren Leland, F Emily Plummer, F Natalie Logan, D Taylor Kallmann, G Tracy Richards. Outlook: Coming off a year with a league crown, the Titans feel they are primed to become a countywide contender. Logan leads a core of offensive players after scoring 18 goals and collecting four assists last year. Plummer had 13 goals and five assists and Leland was more of a playmaker with 11 goals and 14 assists. “I’m hoping we maintain the momentum from last year,’’ said Parrish, who played at Scripps Ranch. “If we’re on, we’ll put up good offensive numbers because the shooting looks great early on. About the only thing we

still need to find is a bit more speed. I think that will come as the season goes on.’’ The Titans opened the season with victories over Otay Ranch (13-0) and Henry (3-0) before a home against last year’s Division II finalist against Mission Vista on Tuesday (Sept. 5) and a road game at La Costa Canyon on Thursday. RANCHO BERNARDO Coach: Katy Sirota 2016 record: 13-8-1 Division: I Key players: M Julia Stevens, M Mina Balen, M-D Kara Yagade, G Shaela Vidano, F Lily LaGoy, D Mayla Woodward-Romano. Outlook: Last season Sirota, a former player at Serra, had just two substitutes. This year there is more depth with 11 subs. And that is a SEE FIELD HOCKEY, B3

It wasn’t, though. Just a sprained left shoulder, which could keep him out of action for a couple of weeks. “He spends a lot of time lifting, training so we knew the injury would not slow him down,’’ said Rancho Bernardo coach Tristan McCoy, a former Broncos’ linebacker. “He’s one of the strongest guys pound-for-pound on the team. His motor never even slows down. He had time to learn how to be a team leader. We have had to push some of our juniors into leadership roles and he’s fine with that.’’ Gaylord is hoping to turn this latest sideline time into a benefit like the last time. “When this one happened I just wanted to get back into the game,’’ said Gaylord, who now sports a splint on his shoulder. “I was trying to watch the game while the trainer was talking to me, so I didn’t hear much about what he said. I felt a huge relief when they told me it wasn’t broken. It’s tough to miss even a day or two of practice much less a couple of games.” “I’ve done this before, so I have to wait my turn and get better in any way I can until I can return.’’

H NEWS JOUR NA NC RA L

BY TERRY MONAHAN For the second time in three football seasons at Rancho Bernardo, an injury has knocked Jack Gaylord out of the game. The first time was a torn meniscus in his knee five games into his freshman season. That turned out to be a good thing as the 5-foot-11, 195-pound linebacker threw himself into lifting weights and visiting the film room on a regular basis. That made him a more complete player. “I realized I shouldn’t take football for granted,’’ Gaylord said. “I pouted for about two days and then went back to work. I found out football is such a mental game and we don’t watch much individual film in ninth grade. Now when I see a formation, I pretty much know what the other team is going to do, where the blocks will come from and what I should do.’’ Last Friday, Gaylord was injured again. This time, for a couple of minutes on the sidelines, he thought the rest of the season was lost when he was told his injury might be a broken collarbone.

Gaylord, a backup safety-running back last season on varsity, was averaging 20 tackles a game when he tore up his knee two years ago. After moving to inside linebacker this year, Gaylord’s debut included 18 tackles in a 21-3 loss to Eastlake. Against El Camino last Friday in a 29-22 loss, Gaylord was hit while running the ball and he fumbled it away. “Even though we got an interception on the next play, I still felt I let my teammates down,’’ he said. “My dad was joking the coaches will make we walk around school the next two weeks holding a football without dropping it.’’ Gaylord followed his older brother Tim into football. His first taste of competiton was in fourth grade in Pop Warner. He admitted he tried to quit playing football despite looking up to Tim. “He told me to stick with it so I did,’’ Gaylord said. “I learned to love everything about the game. “Friday night is special. With 4,000 people under the lights, it’s loud and exciting. It’s what you work all week for.’’ He was still rehabbing his knee injury two years ago when the Broncos won the state championship. “I wasn’t on the team but every alum and every future football player like me was a part of that state title,’’ he said. “That’s something that doesn’t happen every day.’’

BOYS WATER POLO PREVIEWS

RB High, Westview seen as early favorites

SOCAL TENNIS CHAMPS The StoneRidge Country Club women’s USTA 3.0 tennis team won the Southern California sectional championship in Fountain Valley on Aug. 19-20 and will travel to the national USTA championships Oct. 13-15 on clay courts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Team members are: Lisa Fischer, Jamie Crivello, Rindy Barnes, Suzy Liu, Christi McClain, Alexa Avedisian, Kathy Uher, Jennifer LeBlang, Sandra Sweat, Peggy Keck and Coach Sue Whiteside. On the team but not pictured are Terrie Faust and Krisin Nevin.

FROM FIELD HOCKEY, B1 good thing since the Broncos have moved up to Division I this year. The offense will depend on returning starters Stevens, Balen and Yagade, who are all seniors. Sirota thinks Vidano might be the most improved player this season. “A lot of girls did the work over the summer,’’ Sirota said. “They ended last year with a CIF championship and wanting even more. This year they seem much more intense.’’ LaGoy and Woodward-Ramona, who were both called up from the junior varsity for last year’s playoff run, are being counted on heavily this time. “I remember we rushed the field (after beating Mission Vista 1-0 in CIF finals) and had one giant hug,’’ Sirota said. “The girls went crazy. There were tears of joy. It was really awesome because this group had no expectations. I’ve won a championship before and now so have they.’’

BY TERRY MONAHAN Ask John Giulianotti, the former water polo player at Poway who is now the Titans’ coach, about the Palomar League this season and he points to Westview and Rancho Bernardo as the teams to beat this season. “They both look really strong,’’ Giulianotti said. “They have speed all over the pool, a dominating 2-meter scorer and both teams have goalies. “At least that’s how it looks early in the season.’’ Giulianotti’s own team has “a bunch of juniors’’ this year. And the Titans are in need of a whole lot of learning how to play together as a team ahead of them. DEL NORTE Coach: Cameron Lindroth 2016 record: 17-13 Division: II Key players: Mark McClure, Grant Theriault, Noah Berkebile, Jake Simeroth, Nick Meyers, Alex Wade, Calvin Lawrence. Outlook: Del Norte, which was 10-6 at home, starts this season with a 2-3 record and an eighth-place finish in the Broncos Invitational, but the Nighthawks have plenty of scoring back from a year ago. Berkebile is the top returning scorer with 23 goals and 16 assists. Theriault was not far behind with 20 goals and 14 assists followed by McClure’s 18 goals

and nine assists, Meyers with 14 goals and eight assists and Simeroth had 13 goals and 11 assists. “The guys are still trying to figure out their scoring roles, who scores and when they score,’’ Lindroth said. “We’ve been slowed a bit by whooping cough. We’re still waiting to have our whole team on the deck.’’ The Nighthawks will be a bit inexperienced at goal, however. Senior Tyler Papineau is back for only his second year as a goalie. POWAY Coach: John Giulianotti 2016 record: 22-5 Division: I Key players: Aaron Voggenthaler, Zack Rath, Garrett Duardo, Jonah Gonzalez, Ben Looges. Outlook: The Titans have a bit of scoring, but Giulianotti thinks the team’s season depends on how well it plays defense. Duardo is a senior while Voggenthaler, Rath and Gonzalez are part of that brigade of juniors. “We won’t score a ton of goals, so defense will be critical,’’ Giulianotti said. “I think we’ll be in a lot of tight games, but those four (Voggenthaler, Rath, Duardo and Gonzalez) will have to step it up.’’ Looges replaces a pair of seniors from last year’s team in goal. “Hopefully, by the end of the year we should be a good team,’’ Giulianotti said. “I can see progress with

this team just since the beginning of August. We have talent. We just have to mold it into the team concept and not be worried individual things.’’ Poway was 14-0 at home last season. RANCHO BERNARDO Coach: Fred Gleason 2016 record: 20-12 Division: II Key players: Sam Collins, Arian Moeini, James Mendenhall, Zac Lemley, Yoonseo Choi, Kyle Hammerness, Jack Bergmark, Zac Jones. Outlook: The Broncos, who were 10-4 at home, opened the season with a 3-1 record in the annual Bronco Invitational, finishing third in the tournament. The Broncos beat Fallbrook, Torrey Pines and Scripps Ranch while scoring eight goals in a loss to Bishop’s. Senior Sam Collins and junior Arian Moeini are big scorers returning along with James Mendenhall, a backup goalie who has moved in as the starter. Zac Lemley is a tough 2-meter defender. More offense should come from junior Yoonseo Choi, junior Kyle Hammerness and newcomer Jack Bergmark, a sophomore with a left-handed shot. “I think we’re a little ahead of schedule,’’ Gleason said. “The win over Torrey Pines was a good win for us. We didn’t get pushed around. Scoring eight goals against Bishop’s in a loss is also a good sign.’’

Piano concert is Saturday at RB Library Show is first for the library’s new Discovery Concert Series season BY EMILY SORENSEN The Friends of the Rancho Bernardo Library’s Discovery Concert Series will start a new season on Saturday with “The Joy of Piano” featuring Naomi Hobbs and Yumiko Oya. All concerts are held at 3 p.m. Saturdays in the library’s community room, 17110 Bernardo Center Drive. They are free and open to the public. The Discovery Concert Series is one of three concert series presented by the Friends of the Rancho Bernardo Library and is intended to expand the opportunity for talented area musicians to perform in public, according to the organization’s website. Many of the performers are also music educators and enhance their programs by offering insights into the music, the composers and the performers. The Friends of the Rancho Bernardo Library also produce a classical concert series, which will begin on Sept. 27 with a performance by the Ardor Trio,

and a jazz concert series, which will begin on Oct. 11 with a performance by the Chicago Six. The first concert of the season will feature Hobbs and Oya performing both solo and as a duo sharing a single piano. They will perform works by Chopin, Liszt and Albeniz, as well as “Nocturne” by Scriabin and the Japanese folk song “Sakura,” arranged for piano by Hobbs. The duo will conclude their program with a four-hand rendition of “West Side Story,” with accompaniment by percussionist Ephriam Reitman. Hobbs said she and Oya have been performing together as a piano duo for about three years. They met at a concert where Hobbs was performing and Oya was in attendance. After the performance, Oya approached Hobbs and asked her if she would like to be a piano duo and Hobbs agreed. The four-hand piano performances Hobbs and Oya do (where two people

play the same song on the same piano) stems from most places they perform only having room for one piano. Hobbs and Oya will each perform solo for about 20 minutes, with the last third of the show being a four-hand performance, Hobbs said. The key to successful four-hand performances is agreeing musically and having a similar musical sense, she said, such as agreeing when to play softer or louder. “We have very similar ideas about music,” Hobbs said. “We have no problem agreeing.” Four-hand piano scores are often arranged from preexisting pieces, though some are written for four-hand, Hobbs said. She often arranges four-hand pieces because she finds them interesting. “It’s special because many people haven’t heard of (four-hand piano),” Hobbs said. SEE CONCERT, B5

Southern California Ballet founder receives award Sylvia Palmer-Zetler one of four dance educators honored nationwide

BY EMILY SORENSEN Southern California Ballet founder Sylvia Palmer-Zetler was recently honored by the national Dance Teacher magazine for her work teaching ballet. She was one of four dance instructors nationwide to receive a 2017 Dance Teacher Award. Her fellow award-winners were Dawn Axam of Atlanta, Georgia; Bridgit Lujan of Central New Mexico Community College in New Mexico; and Sue Sampson-Dalena of Fresno. The award honors four outstanding educators for their contributions to the field of dance, according to the magazine’s website. The winners are selected from nominations sent in by students, colleagues and other members of the dance community. “I’m still in shock,” said Palmer-Zetler of the award. “It’s huge. It’s such an honor, I never expected that.” Palmer-Zetler said she was in “really good company” with her fellow winners. When she was originally contacted by the magazine about the award, she thought it might be a scam, she said, as she had been contacted by numerous fake award scams

The Nutty Professor: Back-to-School Eats

he other day I found myself in the crosshairs of a heated argument between a mom and her school-age children in the supermarket aisle of jams and nut butters, which struck a chord of déjà vu with my daughters a handful of years earlier. Both sides were stalemated over the controversial back-to-school staple — peanut butter. Although, I gathered from the dialogue that the kids did not have any peanut allergies, the mother still stood firm against the spreadable legume. Alas, they all stormed out of the market without even reaching a culinary compromise. Peanut butter sandwiches, whether paired

with jellies, preserves, honey or bananas, have been the favorite, iconic, rib-sticking American lunch for generations. Over the past few years an increasing (and alarming) number of deadly peanut allergies, particularly among children have emerged, making the legume persona non grata at schools since the mere inhaling of the aromatic oil and airborne peanut dust have been found to trigger a reaction. Researchers from Australia claim to have made a major breakthrough in a peanut allergy cure with a trial study using an oral probiotic peanut immunotherapy for children. These kids who were previously peanut allergic or sensitive were able to tolerate peanuts after

The family of Keith and Pat Abbott is proud to announce the couple’s 60th wedding anniversary on Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017. They were married in 1957 at the St. Michael’s Episcopal Church on Putney Road, Brattleboro, VT. For their honeymoon they drove across country and lived in Torrance, California before moving to San Diego following their retirement. Their family includes children, Judy Guy, Carole Rusch, John Abbott and Scott Abbott, six grandchildren and one great grandchild.

by the centerfold article on her in the magazine’s July issue. “I told them, now you should appreciate me.” Palmer-Zetler founded the Southern California Ballet, then called the Black Mountain Dance Centre, 30 years ago, following a career as a dancer in the National Ballet of Canada and teaching at several months of treatment. Allergies aside, the conventional peanut crop carries a heavy pesticide load. Even organically grown peanuts are vulnerable to the formation of a carcinogenic mold called aflatoxin that forms on the legume both pre- and post-harvesting. So we can see why the mom at the market was adamant about throwing peanut butter under the school bus. If the tiny taste buds in your household insist on peanut butter, there’s a quick fix. Simply blend a few drops of natural, and where possible, organic peanut-flavored extract (that does not contain any legume or tree nut substances) into a neutral-flavored nut or seed butter like tahini, and you have created a healthier mock peanut butter version without offensive allergens, molds or pesticides. Tahini is a smooth and creamy paste from pulverized sesame seeds, one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, that also resembles peanut butter in texture, taste and color. These petite precious seeds are blessed with a load of protein (5 grams per ounce), amino acids and fiber, along with vitamins and minerals, including copper, magnesium, calcium, folate, zinc, iron, Vitamin B6 and phosphorous, translating to more than a dozen health benefits, including amping up blood, bone, heart, respiratory and digestive health, and warding off Type 2 diabetes. Almond butter is another Herculean peanut butter substitute, delicately flavored, whether crunchy or smooth, containing monounsaturated “friendly” fats, and a rich store of protein, fiber and phytonutrients, such as, bone building magnesium and calcium, antioxidant, immune enhancing alpha-tocopherol, cell regenerating Vitamin E’s, and nerve calming, energy enhancing B’s. In Japan teens have a yen for a high protein and calcium concoction of dried sardines and slivered almonds, while in India almonds are considered “brain food” for developing children. Yet walnuts that coincidentally resemble miniature hemispheres of the brain are loaded

the National Ballet School of Canada. She retired as the ballet’s artistic director in February, but has remained on as the director of the Southern California Ballet’s Cecchetti program, which is a progressive system of training dancers from a pre-ballet beginning level to a professional level. Dancers must pass exams to move on to a higher level of instruction, which Palmer-Zetler will administer. She is one of eight certified Cecchetti examiners in the United States. Her new role at the ballet allows her to reduce her working hours to three days a week, giving her more time to travel and enjoy her family, she said. “Now the burden is off my shoulders.” The new co-directors of the ballet are Martha Leebolt and her husband Tobias Batley, who recently retired from the Northern Ballet in Leeds, England. Leebolt is a former student of Palmer-Zetler. The duo look over on Sept. 1. “We have really quality people taking over,” she said. “I’ve had my eye on (Leebolt taking over) for a long time. They’re so good, reputable, talented, a perfect match.”

Walnut Butter ■ Ingredients: 2 cups of raw, organic walnuts; 2 teaspoons of nut oil (walnut, almond), or avocado or coconut oil; 1 tablespoon of creamy, raw honey; pink salt to taste; a few drops of vanilla extract (optional). ■ Method: Add ingredients to blender or food CATHARINE KAUFMAN processor, and Walnut Butter blend to desired consistency. Chill in an airtight mason jar until ready to enjoy. Spread on bread of choice with organic fruit preserves, and cut out fun shapes with cookie cutters, fill the hollows of crisp celery sticks, or use as a dipping paste for cut apples, carrot sticks or other favorite treats. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

with plant-based omega-3’s, aka alpha-linolenic acid that increase cognitive functioning similar to those from animal sources by keeping the brain lubricated and lively. Soporific walnuts also bolster melatonin levels, one of the sleep regulating hormones. So munch a cracker or biscuit slathered with some scrumptious walnut butter (see recipe) before bedtime for some quality zzz’s, making us all well rested and alert in the morning. Or spread some silky, nutrient rich seed butters, whether pumpkin (pepita) or sunflower with loads of protein, heart-healthy fatty acids, iron and zinc on a whole wheat or multi-grain bagel, tortilla, baguette or slice of thick-cut bread. Since pepitas are low in allergens they have a wide range of appeal (and tolerance).

Early sun exposure

elanoma has a long memory. Quite often, it is the delayed consequence of sunburns or repeated, intense sun exposures experienced as a child or teen — the coveted golden tan of youth come back to haunt. Early sun exposure (ultraviolet radiation) can damage the DNA in skin cells called melanocytes, which give our skin its pigment or coloration, igniting and driving a process of mutations and malignancy many years later, with subtypes characterized at the molecular level by novel signatures of mutagenesis, some unrelated to sun exposure. It typically occurs on parts of the body chronically exposed to sun, such as the arms, neck and face, but melanoma can grow or spread anywhere, from the skin beneath fingernails to the soles of feet; inside the mouth, the genitals, even the gastrointestinal tract. The tell-tale clue is most often an irregular mole or bump or suspect patch of skin. Discoloration varies widely: black, brown, red, sometimes no color at all. Detected early, before it has spread, superficial melanomas can be relatively easy to treat with minor surgery and/or

radiation. The prognosis is usually good, though the threat of recurrence is real and lifelong vigilance is essential. Melanoma is the least common of skin cancers, but by far the most serious and the incidence is increasing faster than any other cancer. Most skin cancer deaths are due to melanoma, roughly 10,000 a year, two-thirds of them men. Survival depends greatly upon the stage of cancer at diagnosis and to what the degree the malignancy has spread to other parts of the body. A very early stage melanoma isolated to where it began has a 5-year survival rate of more than 98 percent, which means 98 percent of patients will still be alive five years after diagnosis. But if the melanoma has spread to nearby lymph nodes, the rate drops to 62 percent. If it has spread to other parts of the body, 5-year survival falls to 18 percent. These are stark and sobering statistics, but they are not immutable. For example, the latter 18 percent figure is with traditional therapies, but the survival rate for people with metastatic melanoma has increased to 69 percent with combined immunotherapies now being offered at certain NCI-designated centers, such as Moores Cancer Center.

• Treatment advances In recent years, treatment options for melanoma have expanded across the entire spectrum of this disease and new ones have emerged. There has been progress. It begins, appropriately, with advances in detection. Dermascopy employs a high-powered microscope to non-invasively examine lesions and other spots on the skin, boosting the accuracy of diagnoses without requiring multiple biopsies. CT scans can be used to look at internal soft tissues and organs, including assessing whether lymph nodes are enlarged, a possible sign of spreading melanoma. Genetic testing can add further information about a patient's risk of melanoma or help inform doctors about how best to proceed with treatment. Surgery and radiation remain the most effective treatments when appropriate. If a melanoma is more advanced or has spread, adjuvant therapies may be required. Immunotherapy stimulates the body's natural immune response, to help it do the work of unmasking and killing cancer cells. As with other forms of cancer, there are new and developing immunotherapies for melanoma. Several immune checkpoint inhibitors that block different proteins on immune cells have been approved by the FDA and are game-changers for some patients with advanced melanoma. Therapies based upon interferons, a group of signaling proteins involved in triggering a general protective immune response, can be used to delay the recurrence of melanoma in certain settings, such as tumors with ulceration.

Patients undergoing immune therapy can have serious side effects and need to be monitored closely during treatment. Newer immunotherapies are in the offing. Many are still in clinical trials, but with promising results. Indeed, Greg Daniels, M.D., Ph.D., a medical oncologist and professor of medicine at Moores Cancer Center who specializes in melanoma and immunotherapies, is principal investigator on four on-going trials. Additionally, Sandip Patel, M.D., is a medical oncologist and assistant professor at Moores Cancer Center who specializes in novel immunotherapeutics across tumor types. He is principal investigator on a half dozen clinical trials of drugs targeting novel immune pathways of treat advanced melanoma. Later this year, Moores Cancer Center will be one of the handful of places in the country where patients can receive cellular immunotherapy — a process by which a patient's own immune cells are selectively augmented outside of the body for their anticancer properties and reinfused back into the patient. A similar process has proven successful in treating certain leukemias. Some of these approaches help the body's immune cells more effectively seek out cloaked cancer cells or inhibit mutated or activated genes linked to melanoma. Researchers continue to look for ways to make existing drugs work better with fewer side effects, often through new combinations of treatments. Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ucsd.edu

New Hepatitis A vaccination recommendations issued BY TOM CHRISTENSEN The ongoing hepatitis A outbreak in San Diego County has claimed 14 lives and hospitalized 246 people among the reported 352 cases. Approximately 70 percent of the cases have been among people who are homeless, use illicit drugs or a combination of those two factors. The county has been increasing efforts to vaccinate these target populations as well as those who come in contact with them. The county’s public health officer has now made recommendations that people who handle food get a vaccination for hepatitis A. “This is a pro-active recommendation because the ongoing outbreak means that the risk to the general public is higher than normal,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., county public health officer. “A person who becomes infected with hepatitis A may spread the disease to others before experiencing symptoms. In an occupation such as handling food, workers may expose more members of the public than workers in other occupations.” No common sources of food, beverage or drugs have been identified that have contributed to his outbreak, although the investigation continues. Food handlers can get the vaccination from their occupational health provider, health care provider, or a local pharmacy that carries the vaccine. A prescription is not needed to get the vaccination.

COUNTY NEWS CENTER

The vaccine is also available to uninsured or under-insured individuals for no cost at all County public health centers. For a list of locations, call 2-1-1 or visit sdiz.org. The vaccine recommendation has also been expanded to those who work in health care in addition to prior recommendations for those who work in public safety, sanitation, homeless shelters and behavioral and homeless service providers. A hepatitis A vaccination is the best way to prevent the disease. HHSA is continuing to work with a wide

range of community partners on a variety of strategies to offer vaccinations and deploy increased education efforts to people at risk for getting hepatitis A. Homeless service providers, treatment providers, faith-based community organizations and the Regional Task Force on Homeless are all helping notify high-risk individuals about the outbreak. Ads encouraging people get the hepatitis A vaccine have been placed in Metro Transit buses, trolleys and stops. The local medical community, including hospital emergency departments and

community health clinics, and the county jail and probation facilities, has been helping administer vaccinations. Teams of public health nurses, often partnered with a community outreach worker or a member of law enforcement through the various Homeless Outreach Team, are continuing to go into the community on “foot teams” to offer homeless people vaccinations. Hepatitis A is most commonly spread person-to-person through the fecal-oral route. Symptoms of hepatitis A include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Symptoms usually appear over a number of days and last less than two months. However, some people can be ill for as long as six months. Hepatitis A can sometimes cause liver failure and even death. Hepatitis A can also be prevented through good hygiene. Everyone should: • Wash their hands for 20 seconds (about the length of time to sing “Happy Birthday” twice) with soap and running water before eating and after using the restroom or changing a diaper • Do not directly touch the door handle when exiting a public restroom • Do not share food, drinks, or smoking materials with other people For general information on hepatitis A, visit the HHSA hepatitis website where data are updated routinely. A hepatitis A fact sheet is also available.

San Diego homebuyers need a $117K annual income

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and local shelters host dog adoptions Sept. 9-10 Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage San Diego offices and local shelters are joining hundreds of Coldwell Banker offices and animal shelters around the country for the Coldwell Banker “Homes for Dogs” National Adoption Weekend, Sept. 9-10. For adoption event locations, contact a Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage affiliated agent or office (find a list at coldwellbanker.com). The nationwide adoption weekend is part of the “Homes for Dogs Project,” a three-year campaign launched by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC and Adopt-a-Pet.com, North

America’s largest non-profit pet adoption website. In just the first year alone, the organizations helped to facilitate more than 20,000 adoptions. Coldwell Banker launched “Somebody to Love,” in April 2017, a national advertising campaign which told the stories of a man and a homeless dog who find each other. It was lauded one of the highest ranking ads of all time by Ace Metrix, and was praised by The New York Times as being a “commercial to love.” Find more information at adoptapet.com/homesfordogs

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Prospective buyers needed nearly $117,000 in salary to purchase a home in San Diego during the second quarter of this year, according to a study released in late August by the mortgage information firm HSH.com. That assumes 20 percent down on a median-priced house of $605,000. With a mortgage rate of 4.21 percent, the monthly payment would be more than $2,700. If the buyer made a down payment of 10 percent, the required salary would rise to more than $138,000. The monthly payment in San Diego was the third highest of 50 markets included in the study, following San Jose, at nearly $5,200, and San Francisco, at over $4,200. Similarly, the salary required to buy a median-priced house in San Diego was the third highest behind the Bay Area cities. Nationally, the increase in salary needed to keep pace with rising housing costs over the past year was 9.3 percent. Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors, said houses were selling in under one month on average in several parts of the country, with supply not coming close to meeting demand.

“The glaring need for more new home construction is creating an affordability crisis that needs to be addressed by policy officials and local governments,’’ Yun said. “An increasing share of would-be buyers are being priced out of the market and are unable to experience the wealth building benefits of homeownership.’’ Nationally, purchasing a median priced home of $255,600 necessitated a salary of more than $56,000 — an increase of 8.5 percent over last year. Cities where monthly payments came in at less than $1,000 included Birmingham, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville, Memphis, Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh and St. Louis. HSH.com took the National Association of Realtors’ 2017 second-quarter data for median home prices, national mortgage rate data from weekly surveys by Freddie Mac and the Mortgage Bankers Association of America for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, and available property tax and homeowners insurance costs. The data determined the annual salary it took to afford the base cost of owning a home — principal, interest, property tax and homeowner’s insurance.
