Golf course’s future awaits Nov. 7 vote

BY J. HARRY JONES A drive around the neighborhood that surrounds Poway’s Stoneridge Country Club suggests there is a deep divide in the community. On the lawns or in the windows of 40 homes are signs encouraging a “Yes on Measure A” vote. In front of 37 other homes, “No on A” signs are prominently displayed. The special election in Poway is the only election being held Nov. 7 in the county. It asks voters a simple question: Should zoning for part of the country club’s 117-acre property be changed to allow for the construction of no more than 180 condominiums on 25 acres? Supporters of the measure don’t necessarily like what is happening but say they want the initiative to pass because with it comes a guarantee from property owner Michael Schlesinger that the golf course will remain

open. Otherwise, the club and golf course will be shuttered and fenced off because it loses money every month, Schlesinger’s representatives have told homeowners and country club members. Indeed, records show the course has been consistently late this past year paying its water and energy bills. Just a few weeks ago, the city cut off the water for a brief time until the latest bill was paid. Calling themselves Poway Open Space, a group of country club members and homeowners in the area worked with Schlesinger’s representatives to get the measure on the ballot. “The agreement came about after a long series of negotiations to allow the owner to have a business model that would make him successful while at the same time SEE STONERIDGE, A13

BY STEVE DREYER Water rates are proposed to increase starting Jan. 1, but not as much as this past year. The City Council agreed Tuesday night to proceed with a Dec. 19 public hearing on staff recommended increases of 3.5 percent for water use and 5.5 percent for the fixed water meter charge. Notices of the 7 p.m. hearing in the council chambers will be mailed Oct. 31

to every water and sewer account holder in the city. Last year at this time increases of 7.75 percent for water usage and 8.75 percent for the fixed meter charge were proposed and eventually adopted by the council. Sewer rates are proposed to increase by 4.5 percent and the fixed sewer charge is slated to rise by 4.75 percent. These rates were not increased this year.

BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Unified School District Board of Education will be moving forward with two district election maps selected at last Thursday’s meeting. A total of 18 maps were submitted from the public, with 11 of the maps presented to the board by Douglas Johnson, president of National Demographics Corporation. Three of the maps submitted were not population balanced, and therefore would not be legal to implement. Four maps were submitted after the given deadline and could not legally be discussed at the meeting. Those four maps will be considered at the Nov. 9 board meeting, along with maps 109 and 112, which were the finalists chosen by the board members. The public is welcome to submit revisions to maps 109 and 112, which are available as templates. The public can also overlay the maps over others and add in the trustee census blocks. A link is available at tinyurl.com/PUSDmaps. Federal laws require district election maps to have areas with equal population balance (within 5 percent of each other), comply with the Federal Voting Rights Act and not engage with racial gerrymandering. The maps ideally would also take into account communities of interest; have the areas be compact and contiguous; have visible boundaries both natural and man-made; respect the voters’ wishes and continuity in office; and allow for future growth. Seven members of the public spoke during the public hearing, expressing concerns about how the new trustee areas would impact the sitting board members and their eligibility to run in future elections. Several of the speakers said they wanted an option to retain the current board members. Four of the five board members live in Rancho Peñasquitos and many of the submitted maps have three or four of the board members in the same district area, meaning that current board members could find themselves competing for one seat in 2018.

The 2016 Rancho BEERnardo Festival drew more than 750 attendees to Webb Park.

Rancho BEERnardo Festival returns on Oct. 28 BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The sixth annual Rancho BEERnardo Festival is returning to Webb Park, with more than 50 India Pale Ale craft beers and other beverages on tap. The county’s only IPA beer festival will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28 in the park at 16826 Bernardo Center Drive in Rancho Bernardo. Tickets to the over-21 event are $40 for one person, $70 for two and $10 for a designated driver ticket. Purchase at the event or in advance at ranchobeernardofestival.com. The festival is organized by the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club and Urge Gastropub. Sunrise Rotarian Bill Chaffin said the festival has grown annually — last year it drew more than 750 attendees — because “it’s the craze. Craft beers are a big industry in San Diego and we’re doing a better job in publicizing it.” Through online ticket sales, Chaffin said organizers can see from where attendees come and that is how they know the festival is drawing not just those from the area, but people from as far away as New Mexico. He said the club has advertised the festival in some regional magazines in order to draw those from out of the area.

According to Chaffin, beers from all the major San Diego breweries, including Urge’s new ales from its Mason Brewery in San Marcos, will be featured. For those not into IPA craft beers there will be some other beers available plus regional wine selections. Gourmet food will be available for purchase. Attendees will get to vote on the People’s Choice Award for best IPA and receive a complimentary tasting glass. This is the Sunrise Rotarians’ biggest fundraiser of the year and Chaffin said they are hoping to net more than $100,000 through the event to support a variety of charitable projects locally, domestically and abroad. These include Project Mercy, a home building endeavor in Tijuana, Mexico; the Ed Brown Center for Active Adults in Rancho Bernardo; Poway Valley Therapeutic Riding Center (PoVa), which offers therapeutic horseback riding to children and adults with special needs; Team Red, White and Blue, which helps military veterans; Rides & Smiles, which provides transportation to seniors; and various programs at Abraxas High School in Poway. There will also be live music and games, like corn hole, to entertain the expected 1,000-plus attendees, Chaffin said.

Fatal van accident at Sunshine Care BY EMILY SORENSEN An elderly resident of the Sunshine Care memory care facility in Poway died Saturday following injuries sustained in a vehicular accident the previous day. Rose Heames, 84, was a passenger in a transport van for the facility that was involved in a solo vehicle accident on Oct. 13 at 3:52 p.m. The van, which had several elderly patients, including Heames, was being driven by Brienna Pratchner. Pratchner, who is employed by Sunshine Care, reportedly stopped the van in the facility’s driveway at 12750 Monte Vista Road in Poway and opened the passenger door for the passengers to exit, according to a San Diego County Sheriff’s Department report. She then exited the vehicle and started to walk around the van to help the patients exit the van, when the van began to roll down the driveway. Pratchner reportedly did not put the

van in “park” and had not set the emergency brake. She tried to get back into the driver’s side to stop the van but was knocked down and pinned under the left front wheel and dragged as the van rolled, according to the report. The rear of the van and the two open doors hit several trees as it rolled down the driveway before coming to a stop. Heames was reported to have been found just outside the opened passenger’s door of the van, on the ground and non-responsive. None of the other passengers were injured. Both Pratchner and Heames were transported to the hospital for treatment. Heames died as a result of her injuries on Oct. 14. Pratchner was reported to have injuries to her right knee and right leg. The collision is being investigated by the Poway Sheriff’s Traffic Division. Anyone with information on this collision can call Deputy Sundae Benton or Deputy Robert Gibson at 858-513-2800.

Holocaust survivor shares graphic wartime memories Rose Schindler tells her story to fulfill promise to father BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK In a moving, graphic account of bravery, luck and determination, Holocaust survivor Rose Schindler recently shared memories of her World War II experiences in the Auschwitz death camp when visiting Rancho Bernardo. Schindler, now 87, spoke at the Wednesday Etc. Women’s Club meeting on Oct. 11 at the Bernardo Heights Country Club. “Jewish people are very good listeners and doing what they are suppose to do,” Schindler said. “I wish they didn’t. Why .... did our parents not fight back? “We were taken like sheep to the slaughter — adults .... didn’t do anything about it,” she said. “If they knew what was going on, they should have fought back. (The Nazis) were killing people (back in) 1938, 1939.” Schindler, her parents and seven siblings lived in Seredne, a small town of around 2,000 in what is now the Czech Republic. While by today’s standards they lived in primitive conditions — a three-room house with no electricity or indoor plumbing — she said it was a happy childhood. “We lived so primitive, but you do not miss things when you don’t have anything,” she said. In pre-World War II years, her father was a tailor, “very successful with a good reputation,” Schindler said. The family grew almost all the food they needed and there

ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK

Wednesday Etc. Club President Rosemarie Bergdahl, Holocaust survivor Rose Schindler and her daughter, Roxanne Schindler Katz in Rancho Bernardo on Oct. 11. were few stores in their village since most goods not grown or made at home were obtained via bartering at the farmers market. “We knew everybody in town,” she said. In the pre-war years, she said the Czech government was very pro-Jewish and “we had the same rights as everybody else. ... We got along with our neighbors.” All that changed in 1938 under the Hungarians, which “little by little” put

restrictions on the Jews. Children went to school through their middle school years and, if they wanted to be educated beyond that, went to a nearby town. But when Schindler — who was born in 1929 — was around age 10, Jewish children were no longer allowed to attend school. Her father, like his fellow Orthodox Jews, saw their businesses taken away from them and Jewish people were treated “like

third-class citizens,” she said. Non-Jewish friends turned on them. “Hungary did all of Hilter’s dirty work,” she said. “(The Hungarians) were very happy to do that.” In 1944 her family was told they needed to leave and turn in their valuables, which “would be given back later.” “I think our parents knew something,” Schindler said, describing how her father hid some of their jewelry in their home. Schindler added that she — then age 14 — and other youths “were very ignorant. We did what our parents told us.” Her family and other Jews in their town were transported by oxen-driven wagons to a train station in April 1944. From there, they were packed into cattle cars with no food, water or bathroom facilities and transported for several days to Auschwitz, a German death camp near Krakow, Poland. “The smell in the train was pretty bad,” she recalled. “People were passing out or dying.” Upon arrival, a camp inmate told her to lie about her age, to say it was 18 instead of 14, so she would not be considered too young to work and immediately put to death in the gas chambers. That was the fate of her mother and four younger siblings. “We could see smoke and hear children crying,” she said. “They put people in the gas chamber, but there was not enough gas (to kill them all) so they were burning them when they were half alive. “Poland is filled with the ashes of all our SEE SURVIVOR, A8

Community is rallying behind paralyzed Mt. Carmel student BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The community is rallying around a Mt. Carmel High School junior who was left paralyzed following a Sabre Springs vehicle accident nearly two weeks ago. As of Tuesday morning, almost $52,000 of a $100,000 goal had been donated by more than 590 contributors on a YouCaring website to help the family of Isaac Coulapides with expenses related to the 16-year-old’s condition and recovery. The anticipated expenses include retrofitting the family’s two-story home for wheelchair accessibility plus purchasing a wheelchair, special bed and other expensive medical equipment. His parents, Lisa and Brad Coulapides, will also need to get a vehicle that accommodates a wheelchair. The website is at youcaring.com/isaaccoulapides-977211. The teen was involved in a one-vehicle accident on the 13000 block of Sabre Springs Parkway after his cheer team gathered at Oggi’s restaurant following the Mt. Carmel-Poway football game on Oct. 6. According to San Diego police Sgt. Michael Tansey, the crash — reported at 10:47 p.m. — was attributed to excessive speed, causing Coulapides to lose control of the 2002 Jeep Cherokee he was driving southbound. It crashed into an embankment and two trees. “Medical bills will be astronomical at the same time that family income will decrease as Isaac’s parents and family members take time away from work to care for him,” according to the website. It was set up by the Angel Care Ministry at Canyon Springs Church, which the Coulapides family attends, said Youth Pastor Chad Richards who has known the family for almost four years. The ministry “helps people going through tragedy, like sickness, with their practical needs,” he said, adding “It’s scary for them financially.” The Scripps Ranch-based church, which has 400 to 500 members, is also organizing a meal donation system so food can be brought to the family’s home while the teen is in the hospital and following his return. Per the website, Coulapides’ T3 and T4 vertebrae were crushed, his sternum fractured and spinal cord severed, which has resulted in paralysis from the chest down. He has no function in his legs and torso and on Oct. 8 had surgery to relieve the pressure on surrounding nerves and to fuse his thoracic vertebrae to prevent further damage. Mt. Carmel High Head Cheer Coach Ian Lopez said he has visited Coulapides at Scripps Memorial La Jolla several times, including on the night of the accident. Despite his medical condition, Lopez said the teen is still expressing his sense of humor and spunkiness. This is Coulapides’ first year on the Mt. Carmel cheer team and Lopez said his skills and level of dedication has been “phenomenal,” describing how he “picked up tumbling skills like a back handspring in 15 minutes.” His most recent accomplishment was to perfect a back tuck. “He is dedicated ... with a drive and passion; a good person who makes everyone laugh and not give up,” Lopez said. “Overall ... he is really humble, with a lot of school spirit and he is an awesome (person).”

MCHS CHEER TEAM

Mt. Carmel High School junior Isaac Coulapides. Coulapides’ fellow Sundevil cheerleaders are still processing what happened to their teammate, but have decided to dedicate the remainder of their community service efforts for the year to groups involved with spinal cord injuries and research. Lopez said the team had completed five of its required 35 hours, with initial efforts focused on brain tumor charitable work. Richards said he and many others have also been visiting Coulapides in the hospital on a regular basis. “Someone is always visiting (him),” Richards said. “When it happened we wanted to be (with the family) instead of just telling (them we’re praying). Showing up is huge, actually going there (to the hospital).” He said children at the church wrote “cute cards” for the teen while his high school peers from church have also been doing things for him. At the Oct. 13 Mt. Carmel home football game the cheerleaders switched their white hair ribbons to red ribbons as a sign of support for Coulapides because red is the Coulapides’ favorite color in addition to being one of Mt. Carmel’s school colors, Lopez said. The cheer coach said he told the team that “Isaac would not want us to be somber, but to kick butt by hitting a great routine. Do it for Isaac.” He added, “They are ready to have their teammate back in his new wheelchair cheering with them from the sidelines.” Lopez said last Friday the team had not yet thought about what fundraising efforts it will do for their teammate since the teens “are still in the processing stage and are keeping their hopes high for what happens in the future.” However, the football and cheer boosters accepted donations — including gift cards — for the Coulapides family at the spirit booth, where game attendees could also write notes of encouragement. He said Mt. Carmel students are also putting together some gifts and other surprises to cheer their classmate while he is in the hospital. “Sentimental surprises are in the works,” Lopez said.

TREAT

Question 1) If you are currently working, is it better to put money into a traditional IRA or Roth IRA if you anticipate being in a lower tax bracket in retirement? Answer: Traditional IRA. Treat: Skittles. This is a Halloween staple, which always has value on the post-Halloween night trade market. It is also the appropriate reward for a question where the child has a 50/50 shot of being right. Question 2) What is the earliest age you can start receiving Social Security benefits? Answer: 62. Treat: Jolly Ranchers. Nothing breaks up the steady stream of chocolate candy on Halloween like Jolly Ranchers. Bonus candy if the child mentions anything about them doubting if Social Security will be around when they retire. Question 3) How much should you have in cash reserves? Answer: 3-6 months of living expenses. Treat: 100 grand bar. Might as well take the opportunity to put the subliminal message to save money, as very few people come to me with the complaint that they have saved too much money. Question 4) What is investment diversification? Answer: Anything along the lines of not putting all your eggs in one basket is sufficient. Treat: A big bag of M&M’s, which represents diversification (Even the non-flashy brown M&M’s, just like government fixed income investments).

Halloween is a great holiday. There is no extensive meal preparation, last minute shopping or travel out of town. The kids are happy. You don’t have to worry about what to get anyone as everyone likes candy. Even the bad candy bars, meaning anything with coconut, can usually be traded away. And all this without a gift receipt or trip back to the mall. Just writing this puts a smile on my face. There are only a few rules at our house. The kids must eat dinner before going out to Trick or Treat. All Nerds candy they collect is for me and all Almond Joys are for my wife. I love answering the door and seeing all the happy kids. I am still waiting to find someone dressed as a financial planner. I think when that day comes I am going to give that child at least double the amount of candy that I give to others. Of course, I will tell that child to only eat some of that candy now and put the rest away for retirement. I’m thinking this year that instead of just doling out the candy, I’m going to offer the kids my version of “Trick or Treat”. It won’t be a trick, but rather a question that if they answer correctly will yield them better candy than the standard fare. It will be set up like “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” where the child gets a lifeline and can ask the accompanying adult for help. I am going to provide you lucky adults reading this column a cheat sheet that you can refer to. If a child doesn’t want to play and just wants a treat, they will be given their choice of either a banana LaffyTaffy or something containing raisins. Here are the questions. It should be noted that the questions will start off easy. If I am running low on candy then I will turn to the more difficult questions.

Question 5) What age must you begin taking money out of tax deferred accounts? Answer: 70.5 Treat: Marathon Candy Bar. The Marathon candy bar took forever to eat. The required minimum distribution, which begins at age 70.5, is also targeted to last over your remaining lifetime. Question 6) What does the 4% withdrawal rule mean? Answer: The idea that you can withdraw 4 percent annually from your retirement accounts and not run out of money. In reality, the answer isn’t so simple. Treat: Big bag of Sour Patch Kids. This treat is appropriate here because if you have just a few, all is good. If you eat too many your tongue begins to burn. This question will be given to the last trick or treater of the night. Question 7) What would you do if I gave you all of my remaining candy? Answer: Any answer is correct. Treat. All remaining candy. The smile on a child’s face is similar to the look I get when I ask my adult clients, “What would you do if you had no money worries?”

FROM SURVIVOR, A4 people on the ground,” Schindler said. Those not murdered upon arrival were stripped, had their entire body shaved and were given rags to wear. Her father and older brother were sent one way while Schindler and two older sisters went to a barracks crammed with 1,000 women and barely given food. What they were provided was not edible, she said. Schindler and her sisters briefly reunited with their father and brother. During that encounter their father made the girls promise to stay together, “stay alive and tell the world what they are doing with us.” That was their last conversation. In September 1944 her sisters were selected for factory work and Schindler had to sneak into the line since on several occasions she was designated for the gas chamber, but managed to slip away among the crowd. By then, the girls ate anything they could find. “We got used to the hard conditions,” she said. “It is amazing how much a human body can take.” She said surviving Auschwitz required “having a brain, guts and doing things that were not kosher.” Many prisoners working at the gas chamber saw their parents go in, but could not do anything about it if they wanted to survive. It is estimated 1.1 million people died at Auschwitz from 1940 to 1945. Conditions improved when the sisters were sent to a German factory to make

ammunition, uniforms and gas masks. “They treated us like human beings, but nothing too fantastic. ... It was like from hell to heaven,” Schindler said. Their food situation improved and they wore slightly better clothing. In 1945 they were liberated by the Soviet Red Army. “The Russians were very good to us,” she said. “Nobody can imagine what freedom means.” The three sisters returned home after liberation. They learned that their brother was murdered 10 days before the war ended and their father killed in a gas chamber after becoming ill. They retrieved their few hidden possessions — their neighbors refused to return the items held for them — and embarked on new lives. Her sisters married, one went to live in Prague, the other stayed in their hometown, which was under Soviet occupation. Schindler was among the more than 700 Holocaust orphans sent to England after the war so they could learn a trade. While the group was known as “The Boys,” there were girls too and that is how she met her future husband, Max, whose family was also killed. They married in 1950, emigrated to New York in 1951 and moved to San Diego in 1956. They had four children and nine grandchildren. For the past four decades, Rose Schindler has been fulfilling the promise she made to her father to tell the world what happened to them. The couple, accompanied by their children, returned to their homeland a few times. Max Schindler died earlier this year, at age 87.

A N OPEN LETTER TO THE CITIZENS Here is why you should vote “Yes” on Measure A

OF

POWAY

On November 7th, the citizens of Poway will have one item on the ballot to vote for or against. It is called Measure A. Measure A would amend the city's general plan to rezone up to 25 acres of the county club from an “open space – recreation” designation to “residential condominium.” That would allow for the country club’s owner to submit plans to city to build up to 180 condos for residents over 55 years old. The plans would have to be approved by the City Council following the City staff’s review and public hearings. Here is why you should vote “Yes” on Measure A

WE CANNOT UNDO THE PAST

The real blame for why this is happening falls on La Jolla Development, the owners prior to Mr. Schlesinger who used StoneRidge as leverage to borrow money they couldn’t repay while running this golf course and two others into the ground. The loans on the golf courses were packaged up and sold in a back room deal by a bank leaving the members and neighbors in the cold.

POWAY OPEN SPACE NEGOTIATED THE BEST OUTCOME AND NO ONE ELSE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DISCUSSION

Poway Open Space was the only citizens group that formed to look at legal options to protect StoneRidge. With an existing deed restriction requiring the 117 acres to be maintained as a golf course until 2020, the group looked at all viable options to prevent it from being turned into a fenced-in eye sore like the Escondido County Club. Poway Open Space considered all of the legal options and determined that the best way forward was to negotiate with the property owner for an outcome that would maintain the maximum amount of open space, keep a golf facility for the public, and uphold property values in the surrounding area.

THIS OUTCOME IS BEST FOR OUR COMMUNITY OVERALL

Poway Open Space secured 92 acres of the land as a golf course which can be used by the public and importantly, by the Poway High School golf teams as their home course on which to practice and compete. There will be a brand-new club house to host local events at such as the Rotary, Kiwanis, local school fundraisers and banquets, weddings, and charity events a community facility that all of us can be proud of. There is no place like this in Poway and to lose it would be a shame.

THE 92 ACRES WILL REMAIN OPEN SPACE

The 92 acres will remain open space as it is currently zoned and any other use would require another vote by the citizens of Poway. A deed restriction will be put on this acreage adding an extra layer of open space protection making sure that the recreational open space is limited to a golf course and not some other recreational use permitted under Poway’s current general plan. All of the surrounding homeowners will have the right to enforce that deed restriction.

PROPERTY VALUES WILL DECLINE AND FENCED AND BLIGHTED PROPERTY CAN LEAD TO VANDALISM EFFECTING THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD

If Measure A does not pass, the property will be fenced in order to control trespassing and other criminal behaviors. The buildings will be abandoned, the clubhouse, maintenance buildings, pool and tennis courts will begin to degrade, and the surrounding homeowners will look at blighted, abandoned property and realize a decline in property values. It is also well documented that deteriorated property can be a danger to the public and lead to an increase in crime. This is called the “broken windows theory,” the effect of which is vandalism triggering additional crime in the neighborhood.

On the other hand, homes in golf course communities that back to the course typically sell for $60,000-$100,000 more than an identical home in the same neighborhood that doesn't back to the course. Even homes that don't back directly to the course will be worth more than a similar home in a nearby neighborhood that doesn't have a course. These communities retain their value better in down markets and appreciate faster in hot markets.

CONSIDERING THE ALTERNATIVES, THIS IS THE BEST USE FOR THE PROPERTY

Up to 180 senior-living condominiums is the best possible use for the 15 acres that will be re-zoned. Due to the 55+ restriction, there will be no impact on our schools and less traffic and noise than an unrestricted development, it provides needed housing for people looking to downsize and stay in Poway, and it will significantly increase the tax revenue for Poway.

PASSING MEASURE A PUTS THE CONTROL OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE HANDS OF OUR CITY COUNCIL

Failing to pass Measure A puts the fate of the property back into the hands of Mr. Schlesinger over which the City will have little control. Passing Measure A, puts the City Council in control. The City Council will review the specific development plans and require public hearings all before final Council approval. The Council will take into consideration, first and foremost, the concerns of homeowners, and include studies on the environmental impact and traffic just like they do with every other development within the City. As part of the development process, much-needed improvements and beautification of Espola road may also occur. Say what you will about Mr. Schlesinger, but the reality with either a “yes” or “no” vote the aesthetics of the 117 acres is going to change – the only question is how will it change – blighted and fenced or upscale residences on a very limited amount of the property. Blighted and fenced or a golf course and community clubhouse for all to use and enjoy at no cost to the us the taxpayers. Bottom line - Measure A is a benefit for all of Poway, why wouldn’t you vote Yes? Sincerely,

Amy Romaker

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Locals are being asked to donate food or money to help other area families who are financially struggling this Thanksgiving. Donations of food, grocery gift cards and money are needed by Thursday, Nov. 9. All contributions are tax-deductible. They can come from individuals or groups. The Rancho Bernardo-based Friends & Family Community Connection will likely help at least 872 local families — the number of recipients last year — by providing them with a complete Thanksgiving meal the recipients can cook at home, according to Becky Palenske, FFCC’s director of family support. Each year the all-volunteer organization has set a new record for families it assists at Thanksgiving. She said the charitable program is especially popular because it lets recipients prepare and eat their holiday meal at home versus most other Thanksgiving meal programs that have recipients go to a place where a prepared meal is served to them. Because recipients receive a gift card for fresh foods they can purchase a turkey or other item, such as a ham or fish, if that is their preference. “Some families don’t prefer turkey because it is not their custom or their

holiday routine,” Palenske said. “What is great about our project is that we’re the only game in town where we help by providing food they can cook at home and we do not assume that our traditional Thanksgiving food is (theirs). We give them a choice and (the other food items) supplement. They can use them that day or later.” The recipients mostly live within the Poway Unified School District boundaries of Poway, Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, Rancho Peñasquitos, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs and Del Sur. Palenske said most recipients are recommended through the school district, local churches and programs in subsidized housing areas that FFCC works with for its weekly food distribution program. “If (someone) is concerned about a family and wants to contact us we would consider referrals (for Thanksgiving food boxes) from the community,” Palenske said. She can be reached at 858-538-2492 or ffccsdlocal@gmail.com. Donors have several options. They may contribute just a few non-perishable items or grocery gift cards in $15, $20 or $25 amounts. The preference is for Vons and Stater Bros. since those are the stores the recipients often live closest to and transportation to other stores is sometimes an issue, Palenske said.

Donors are also welcome to donate a complete meal or money so FFCC can purchase the gift cards and meal ingredients. To make a monetary donation, send a check written to “FFCC” with “Thanksgiving Food Box Project” on the memo line to FFCC c/o Becky Palenske, 12382 Pathos Lane, San Diego, CA 92129. Online donations via PayPal can be made at ffccsd.org. For those purchasing food, a meal consists of canned cranberry sauce, canned corn, stuffing, corn bread mix, canned sweet potatoes or yams, canned green beans, gravy (canned, jar or mix), aluminum foil, a small bottle of cooking oil and a grocery store gift card so the recipient can purchase a turkey, ham or other entree plus fresh ingredients. She said the least-donated items are the gift cards, cooking oil, corn bread, yams and foil, perhaps because they are the more expensive items on the list. To complete the boxes FFCC uses the cash donations to purchase the needed items. Because FFCC has limited storage space, those contributing food need to contact Palenske at 858-538-2492 or ffccsdlocal@gmail.com to make drop-off arrangements. If groups are going to make this one of their charitable projects, she requests they contact her first so she can give them collection guidelines for a successful food drive.

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Would you or someone you know benefit from a free hearing aid? If so, enter the Hear for the Holidays contest. The 13th annual contest is accepting nominations through Nov. 13. The winner will receive a free, new pair of Oticon digital hearing devices and lifetime of free office visits with the contest’s founder, Palomar Health’s Chief Audiologist David M. Illich. He said in previous years that a lot of lives have been changed through the contest, created for people who need hearing help, but cannot afford the expensive devices. Over the previous 12 years several Rancho Bernardo and Poway residents have won the contest. “There is nothing more important than being able to communicate with your family and friends,” Illich previously said. “A hearing aid gives back one of the most beautiful and important things in life.” The entrant must be an adult living in San Diego County. The winner will be selected based on financial need, impact of hearing handicap on quality of life, degree of hearing loss — as determined by Professional Hearing Associates, Inc. — and quality of essay. The essay — not exceeding 300 words — must explain why the person would benefit from receiving a state-of-the-art hearing device. The essay can be written by the individual needing the device or by someone else on that person’s behalf. Past nominators have included parents, grandchildren and coworkers. The essays are due by Nov. 13. They can be emailed to hear4theholidays@hotmail.com or mailed to Professional Hearing Associates, 1045 E. Valley Parkway, Escondido, CA 92025. The winner will be announced on Dec. 11 and receive the hearing device before the holidays. Illich created the Hear for the Holidays contest in conjunction with Palomar Health in 2005 as his way to thank his community for the support it provided his family members living in Mississippi as they recovered from the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.

FROM MAPS, A1 Darshana Patel, who is up for re-election in 2020, could find her term ending in 2018 and unable to run again due to sharing an area with other board members up for re-election in 2018. Board member Kimberley Beatty, who lives in Sabre Springs, does not share an election area with other members on any of the maps. One of the maps, 109, features Board President Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff and Patel in one trustee area and Board Members Charles Sellers and T.J. Zane in a second. The other finalist map, 112, is the most gerrymandered map, putting

each board member in a trustee area. Other speakers said they were worried that board members would become territorial over their election areas and the schools within them and would not be concerned about the district as a whole. Beatty said that district staff handles the lion’s share of work when it comes to school sites and at the board level, very little has to do with specific schools. The board members also addressed community concerns about board member continuity. Sellers said he was personally fine with putting the four board members in a single

trustee area if it was the most efficient use of the demographics on the map. He also said he could not find any plausible arrangement to separate O’Connor-Ratcliff and Patel, whose homes are very near each other. Zane said he was interested in map 112 due to the amount of commenters concerned about continuity, though there was nothing stopping maps from being completely redrawn in 2021. O’Connor-Ratcliff said she was also interested in 112, though some of the fingers needed “smoothing out.” Sellers said that he liked map 109 because it was geographically sound and Beatty agreed,

adding that she supported the map because it splits up the four board members in Rancho Peñasquitos into two and two. The members of the board will select the final map on Nov. 9. From there, it will go to the County Committee on School District Organization for another hearing and vote. This committee can reject the board’s map choice and choose another. The selected map will be used in two elections: the first three trustee areas in 2018 and the remaining two in 2020. The district trustee areas will be redrawn in 2021 using new census data.

www.pomeradonews.com FROM WATER, A1 expected to remain in effect until December 2018. It was initiated in January 2016 as a way to generate revenue lost through state-mandated customer conservation efforts. Median household water use has declined by almost 40 percent since 2007-08, according Goldsmith. No members of the public spoke during the non-voting workshop session. All five councilmen expressed displeasure at having

FROM STONERIDGE, A1 preserve our quality of life here in North Poway,” said Mitch Steller, the president of Poway Open Space. He said he trusts Schlesinger to do what he says he will do should the measure pass. And he said the public needs to understand what a “Yes” vote means and what a “No” vote means. “With a ‘Yes’ vote, we know what’s going to happen,” Steller said. “We’re going to get a public, new clubhouse, a par-70 modern championship golf course and guarantees that the rest of the property will be forever open space. “A ‘No’ vote means the place will be shuttered, probably on Nov. 8, and that means it will turn out to be like Escondido. It will go to weeds, there will be a fence around the perimeter, nobody will be allowed to trespass, the clubhouse will be closed and we’ll end up with a serious blight upon North Poway.” The citywide vote is needed because in 1998 Poway voters approved Prop. FF, a slow-growth initiative that says any zoning change that results in greater housing density must be approved at the ballot box. The Country Club is zoned only for recreational/open space. A “Yes” vote on Nov. 7 will change the zoning, thereby allowing Schlesinger’s development company to begin the planning process. Final approval for what is built will still be decided by the City Council. Schlesinger is footing the bill — roughly $350,000 — for the special election and has committed hundreds of thousands of more dollars getting it put on the ballot and marketing the measure. Opponents, however, say they don’t trust Schlesinger to do the right thing and point to what’s happened in Escondido over the past four years as reason to be wary. Schlesinger also owns the Escondido Country Club, which he closed in early 2013. He has since been in a development battle with the surrounding neighborhood and the city. He is considered a bully by many whose homes are near the now-overgrown golf course. An incident in 2014 when chicken manure was spread over many of the fairways, causing a terrible stench for weeks, was viewed by most as a vengeful act by Schlesinger to aggravate opponents of his development plans. The county eventually fined Schlesinger $100,000 for the incident. Schlesinger has always maintained that the manure spreading was nothing more than a landscaping mistake. The future of the Escondido golf course is still in limbo. The Escondido City Council will vote on a proposal to build 392 houses on the golf course next month. The private agreement reached between Schlesinger and the Poway Open Space Group calls for construction of a new clubhouse and restaurant. The tennis courts and swimming pool would be removed to make way for the condos in the center of the course. Some tennis playing club members object to that, but an agreement has been worked out with another tennis club several miles away, where they can continue to play. Part of the agreement calls for a deed restriction

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP - OCTOBER 19, 2017 - PAGE A13

to increase rates, but said doing so was necessary to cover the costs of more-expensive imported drinking water, to finance needed system upgrades and to build up depleted reserves. Under state law, the proposed rates will go into effect unless 50 percent, plus one of the city’s 14,139 customers file written protests by Dec. 19, or speak at the Dec. 19 public hearing. Email protests sent to City Hall do not count, Goldsmith said. The new rates would be effective Jan. 1 and would be reflected in bills mailed in March. on about 92 acres of the golf course property. The restriction will be enforced upon the current and any future property owner, per the agreement. Opponents question whether Schlesinger does what he says. The city has no way to enforce what the agreement says because it is between two private parties. Should Measure A pass, no more than 180 condos could be built. If at some point in the future more development was proposed, another citywide vote would be needed. Some opponents say the city should step in and purchase the country club and take over operation of the golf course. Brian Edmonston, one of the most vocal critics on social media, says the city should buy the land and build a community center there. “North Poway has always been underserved when it comes to recreational facilities,” he said. Stoneridge alleviated that problem, he said, but with the prospect of it closing, the city should condemn the property and turn it into a second community center. That would not be possible if Measure A passes, as the land would become too expensive. But city leaders have made it clear they want nothing to do with Stoneridge and rejected getting involved a couple years ago when Schlesinger met with them. No city in California these days wants to get into the golf business, which has been floundering, with many courses going belly up because there are fewer golfers and a glut of courses. It is also difficult to fathom a conservative city council such as Poway’s condemning any property and taking it by eminent domain, as has been suggested, unless it is needed for some critical road improvements or similar urgent need. Opponents recently have said they also will vote no because they resent being threatened. Last month, Schlesinger’s public relations representative, Sara Ellis, told the News Chieftain that should Measure A fail, the course would be closed and fenced off a short time later. It wasn’t new information, but to many who hadn’t been paying attention, the statement felt like blackmail. The Green Valley Civic Association, a powerful umbrella homeowner’s group for northern Poway neighborhoods, has put together an impartial analysis of the measure that can be found at www.gvca.info/stoneridge/. The association does not take sides. Other websites in support (powayopenspace.com) and opposition (saynotomikey.com) are also available on the Internet. Members of the City Council have not taken a position on the measure. They have been advised by counsel to remain silent because if the measure passes, they will be making future land use decisions about the property. If they were to express their opinions ahead of time, they might need to recuse themselves from such future discussions. Jones writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

DO YOU STILL HAVE AN “AB” OR “BYPASS TRUST”? Until recently, it was very common for estate planning attorneys to draft an AB or ByPass Trust for clients. The purpose of the AB/Bypass Trust was to avoid or minimize estate tax. However, in 2011, federal estate tax laws were changed dramatically to exempt most estates from paying any estate taxes. For calendar year 2017, the exemption for each person is $5.49 million. This amount will increase each year based on a "cost of living" index. In addition, under the rule change called "Portability", a surviving spouse may use any unused portion of a deceased spouse's estate tax exclusion by filing IRS Form 706 within nine months of date of death. For example, a couple has an estate of $8 million. The husband dies, leaving his wife with $8 million. There is no estate tax due because wife takes all property by way of the marital deduction (which is unlimited). Because husband's personal exclusion of $5.49 million was not used, the wife can add his $5.49 million to her exclusion at the time of her death by filing IRS form 706. The exclusion and portability have meant that very few people will pay any estate tax. Therefore, the traditional AB Trust is no longer necessary or useful for most people. In fact, there are serious drawbacks about which you should be keenly aware. Specifically, (1) with an AB Trust there are restrictions on what a surviving spouse can do with property in the ByPass Trust created with deceased spouse's assets i.e. making it difficult to sell assets; (2) with an AB Trust, the surviving spouse cannot make gifts to anyone of the ByPass property; and, (3) with an AB Trust there can be substantial costs involved in managing the Trust after the death of the first spouse including establishing the ByPass trust, preparing the trust income tax returns each year and record keeping ensuring that the property in ByPass Trust is kept separate from the surviving spouse's assets. In most cases, an AB/ByPass Trust is no longer necessary or advisable for estate planning. If you have not looked at your Trust recently, I strongly encourage you to review it and see whether it provides for an AB Trust. If it does provide for an AB/ByPass Trust, I would encourage you to seek legal counsel to see whether it may be in your best interest to amend or restate the Trust to remove the AB Trust provisions. If you have any questions regarding an existing Trust please contact:

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP - OCTOBER 19, 2017 - PAGE A15

Because I Said So BY WENDY FAUCETT

Buyer beware

S

earch Amazon for “parenting books” and you’ll get almost 240,000 results. Narrow your search to “best parenting books” and you can choose from almost 12,000 books. How can they all be the best? How do you know which books may actually assist you and which will definitely waste your time and money? Your great-grandparents and their ancestors did not have thousands of “experts” telling them how to raise children. In fact, until the 1960s, the only “parenting” book (besides the Bible) was written by Dr. Benjamin Spock. Spock’s book was a reference on all things physical and medical that a parent may deal with, and his main message to parents was “Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.” In contrast, the plethora of books today assume that parents know very little about raising children, and in order to be successful parents they need help from experts. As the number of parenting books

proliferated, the message Spock delivered got lost in the cacophony of professionals convincing parents (mostly mothers) that raising children is a technology, a science and to do it well requires study and special knowledge that only they possess. Never mind what your grandma may tell you. Never mind your instinct. Never mind that children are born foolish and sociopathic and need adults to civilize them. What matters most (to these authorities) is children’s feelings. Before you buy that book, subscribe to that magazine, join that Facebook group or attend another parenting seminar, here’s a quick and foolproof way to determine whether you’re wasting your time and money. Ask the following: • Is the emphasis on feelings and talking? • Is the author/speaker a psychologist or psychiatrist? • Is it about specific discipline methods or programs? • Is it about a specific “type” of child?

(i.e. gifted, special needs, adopted, etc.) • Does it claim results in one week or other arbitrary time frame? If the answer to one or more questions is “Yes” then I recommend NOT reading or participating. If you do, then I can almost guarantee you will be more confused, feel more guilt and be worse off than when you began. Flip through a magazine written for parents (again, moms) and you’ll be told that parenting is the hardest thing in the world. You’ll read about the things you should never say to your kids, the things you should be sure to say, the fun activities that you’re not doing but should, the importance of building your child’s self-esteem, how to lose the pregnancy weight, discipline methods that you should never use and those that you should, and a multitude of behavior modification techniques that really only work on rats and dogs. When you put the magazine down, you will likely feel that you aren’t doing nearly enough, and what you are doing is wrong. While there are a multitude of parenting books on discipline methods (over 2,000 on Amazon), the truth is that almost any method, system or program will work IF it is presented concisely, with calm confidence and authority. However, if the program is cumbersome, centers on emotions and talking, and involves positive reinforcement over disciplinary action you’re wasting your time. Children are more alike than different in the important ways. Kids are silly little

people. They are not interested in what’s best for them, only in what they want. They also are not especially interested in how their actions make someone else “feel.” They are the original narcissists, primarily concerned with their desires and whims. Therefore, any attempt to reason with children about behavior they view as justified will result in frustration. My advice? Stop trying so hard! Raising children is not nearly as difficult as sustaining a stable and solid marriage. Focus your energy on your adult relationships and remember that, as you raise your children, you will have a relationship with them, but you will not be IN a relationship with them until they are adults. You are rightfully their leader until they are no longer dependent. Here’s all you need to know: • Speak with authority, be consistent and follow through • Assign chores • Put family time before extra-curricular activities • Reduce and regulate screen time • Encourage the development of hobbies • Focus on developing good character over academic and athletic achievements And, when you have a question, ask your mom! Faucett is a Certified Leadership Parenting Coach, San Diego County CASA and retired teacher who hopes her children will one day ask her advice about raising children.

OUR READERS WRITE (Notice to readers: The deadline for letters to the editor regarding Measure A is noon Monday, Oct. 23. Letters will run in the Oct. 26 issue. Per our policy, no election letters will run on Nov. 2.)

Water rates protested This is regarding water rates in Poway. I understand that there are many issues regarding water that are beyond the control of local governments. That being said, I wish to protest the way in which rates are set in Poway. My last water bill totaled $230.94. I had used 22 units of water. Each unit cost $5.71, including a “temporary” surcharge of 75 cents. What is unfair is how Poway calculates water rates. Under the current system, the more water you use, the less you pay per gallon. For example, if I had used twice the water – i.e. 44 units instead of 22 units - my bill would have been about $356, not nearly $462. This is because the fixed costs remain the same whether I water a lawn three times a day or once a week. The price of each unit of water remains the same up to 200 units. People who use more water pay less per gallon; it’s that simple. I’ve lived in Poway long enough to remember when there was a tiered system – the more you used, the rates increased. I would support a return to that system. In addition, I’d like to know when the “temporary” surcharge is no longer temporary. Keira Dillon Poway

OPINION

Decency will prevail America once had a president who had been a World War II pilot and who spoke of his wish for “a kinder and gentler nation,” Those words are still on my mind when I see how there are so many good people frustrated by politics since they are peaceable and kind. In contrast, there certainly was no kindness when the Senate leader made it his highest priority to stonewall an intelligent recent president from the other party, no matter what. Then I look at some grotesque populist rowdiness and hate-mongering, claimed to be superior to that despised political correctness that has its benign aspects. The question remains, just how much longer will the tolerant majority of the people put up with constant bullying and barrages of insults, and especially the well-proven manipulative strategy of divide and rule? The nation is much kinder and far less divided than is often proclaimed or construed, and ultimately decency will prevail. Fritz Woeller Rancho Bernardo

Poway facing ‘assault’ Our city is facing an assault which will create overdevelopment of Poway. This assault is beginning in the StoneRidge area of Poway. If Measure A should pass, all of Poway will be enabling developers to overrun our “City in the Country.” Measure A is attempting to deceive citizens with the idea that only a small portion of StoneRidge would be developed. This deception is based upon a deed restriction the property owner says will allow only 25 acres of 180 condominiums and “permanently protect” the remaining 92 acres. Once Measure A is passed, the citizens must trust

the property owner to place a voluntary deed restriction on the remaining 92 acres. This deed restriction is a private agreement between Poway Open Space LLC and No Stone Left Unturned, the property owner. The essence of the deception can be found in Section 4 of the agreement which states: “Upon completion of construction of the new development, NSLU shall record a deed restriction on the acreage not associated with the new housing development, estimated to be approximately 92 acres, to ensure it is permanent, protected open space.” Since the condo construction by CalAtlantic will occur two to five years after the actual vote on Measure A, the “permanently protected” open space is now subject to the property owner’s “promise.” Measure A rezones all of the additional land to condominium development from the present open space zoning. This land cannot be developed without passage of Measure A. Stop the assault: Vote “no” on Measure A. Phil Maiorca Poway

Traffic already a problem I feel the increased traffic on Espola Road is an important reason to vote “no” on Measure A. The traffic on Espola Road during the commuting hours is quite extensive. There are those locally going to work and others taking children to and from Poway High and Chaparral and Painted Rock elementary schools. There is also traffic from long-distance commuters using Espola Road as a thoroughfare. The addition of 180 condominiums is not trivial.

This means 360 more cars on the road. I doubt the age limitation of 55+ will minimize the impact. It would be foolish to believe that many of the homeowners are not working for many more years. Those unable to drive would likely be too frail to live in two-story condominiums. Then, there is the possibility of more housing on the StoneRidge property. Although we have heard there is an agreement of no further building, I have not heard about the contingency for the future failure of the golf course. We are already aware it has lost $500,000 this year along with many of its members. Thus, when it does fail, will there be more condominiums and even more traffic? For both of the discussions above, I feel we must vote “no” on Measure A. Keith Sato Poway

Traffic not an issue Measure A will have a minimal-to-no effect on traffic on Espola and Martincoit roads. Espola Road from Martincoit west to Interstate 15 is engineered to handle 41,000 average daily trips. Currently, it incurs roughly 25,000, so it is slightly over-half capacity. The project increase in average daily trips will be fewer than 250 additional average daily trips, assuming the maximum amount of 180 units are built as a result of Measure A. This is a less than 1 percent increase of the current road capacity. In total, Espola Road would contain fewer than 62 percent average daily trips. The issue of traffic is just a facade by the SEE LETTERS, A19

Get Real BY DICK LYLES

Narcissism in the limelight

R

ecently, it has become crystal clear that narcissism on the left has demolished any semblance of brotherly love or patriotic values they ever possessed. This generation of leftists believes that outcomes don’t matter as long as they get the attention they want by appearing to crusade for a cause, even if the cause is fraudulent. Time in the national spotlight has replaced problem solving as their most valuable indicator of success. Strongly nurtured by both Hollywood and the mainstream media, this obsession with self-love appears in both in individuals and among groups. Consider recent examples of each. Recently, first lady Melania Trump

donated books, including some Dr. Seuss books, to a library in a wealthy Massachusetts neighborhood. The librarian decided they didn’t need the books. But rather than demonstrate brotherly love by gathering some of the kids together, creating a project and donating the books to a needier library, the librarian used it as an opportunity to thumb her nose at the first lady by sending the books back and declaring Dr. Seuss’ books racist. This is the same Dr. Seuss who was often remembered fondly by former President Obama. The librarian communicated her refusal and false declaration of racism in a letter to Mrs. Trump which she simultaneously released to the media; all so she could have

Just Sayin’ BY HARVEY LEVINE

Will populism destroy the world? (Editor’s note: An editing error resulted in several paragraphs of last week’s column by Harvey Levine being deleted. The full column appears here. We regret the error.)

I

n practice, populism can take many shapes, on either side of the left/right spectrum. It tends to represent opposition to the current regime, distaste for elitism, and the rallying around a strong, charismatic leader figure. Civil unrest is showing its ugly head all over the world, in the streets and in the polling booth. It is attacking every flavor of political persuasion and is building extremist splinter groups among the major political parties. A populist is defined as a member of a political movement claiming to represent the common people. In practice, populists declare their dissatisfaction with the status quo and with the structures and institutions currently in place for

governance. Granted, there is much in our own political establishments to protest, and the unrest is understandable and perhaps even welcome. But instead of offering solutions to perceived weaknesses and ills, populists in the United States at this time seem to latch on to the extremists in existing parties, bolstering the fascists, nationalists or socialists and widening the gaps that separate us. There are a lot of unhappy, angry people out there, and they seem to be hell bent on bringing down our systems and institutions and replacing them with chaos and anarchy. Populism has also been defined as “interest in the common man.” Theoretically, a populist is a believer in the rights, wisdom, or virtues of ordinary people. What this is doing in practice is dividing the populace into two groups: the “haves,” pejoratively called “elitists,” and the

“have-nots, affectionately called “common folk.” The populists’ goal is to bring the elitists down to the level of the “common folks”. We see in the populist revolution the all-out attempts to disparage education, nullify science, and tear-down arts and culture. We see populists ignoring their own basic needs to follow the rants of loudmouthed talk show hosts and rabid politicians intent on taking advantage of their anger and unhappiness. With the rise of populism, “civil” has been excised from civilization. Dignity has been replaced by crassness. Manners have gone out the window. The synergy of teamwork has been replaced with a dog-eat-dog mentality. Bullying, lying and law-breaking are excused as the only way to accomplish something, a matter of “the ends justify the means.” Today’s populism has a way of elevating social biases and gives rise to

her moment in the national spotlight. No matter she earned it by disrespecting a woman of superb talents who fills a vital role in our nation. In regard to intellect, grace, competence and class this librarian can’t hold a candle to Mrs. Trump. It doesn’t matter to the left, including the media, that she elbowed her way to the national stage through insult and false accusation. Even though this gross display of individual narcissism accomplished nothing, the left considers it a big win. The NFL provides an example of group narcissism unparalleled in history. Instead of responding to players’ concerns by suggesting they pool their celebrity status and use part of their wealth to constructively address perceived problems, NFL leaders chose to hog the limelight with silly and completely meaningless gestures that brought attention to themselves, while passionately dividing both their fans and the country by showcasing themselves as a tribe of patriotic pygmies. Quite a feat, actually. Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys were the ultimate buffoons in this regard. Their feeble resolution was to kneel together before the anthem then stand together like a row of tackling dummies while it played. They ended up looking dumber than a row expanded and ruthless bigotry. After decades of erasing racial, gender, religious, and cultural differences, all of this shameful behavior is again erupting in full fury. Our elected officials depend on our votes to put them in office. Many of them are willing to subvert their personal beliefs to buy our vote. Are we sending them the wrong message? Populists like to think of common people as victims. In their minds, the elitists conspire to keep them down. But aren’t the populists the dividers. They work at destroying people and institutions. They seize the moral high ground, by declaration, rather than demonstration. Their deeds do not fit their own self-image. Populists believe that they alone possess “values.” By whatever reason they come to this conclusion, they are one hundred per cent on the mark in their minds, and any other belief or value is worthless. They and they alone can define what is “right.” Populism’s worst threat is that a contemptuous divisive demon can emerge from the crowd of victims to pronounce himself as the one person who can lead the aimless mob out of the desert. This is all that the hurt and angry, self-proclaimed victims need to coalesce and march

of tackling dummies on a practice field because nothing they did will make an ounce of difference in the world. America’s Team? Not! If the NFL or the players truly want to turn lemons into lemonade … or unbridled stupidity into something that makes reasonable sense … they could make better choices. They chose to act in a way that divided their fans while driving many (like me) away, thus further dividing our country. They’ve also spawned endless, meaningless arguments about free speech that will lead nowhere. Instead, why not say “we believe these concerns of some players are serious, so we’re going to take them off the field and launch an initiative using our celebrity and wealth that will lead to meaningful and tangible solutions?” I’ll tell you why. The reason is because they care only about themselves. It’s a toss-up whether the owners or the players are more brain-damaged from being cocooned in their narcissistically-detached superdomes. But one thing is certain. Their world clearly places self ahead of country and countrymen. And it makes me sick to my stomach. Lyles, a Poway resident, is a management consultant and best-selling author.

meekly behind the Pied Piper – not realizing that their “savior” is only interested in his own aggrandizement. In the end, the trip out of the desert leads not to the Promised Land, but rather to Armageddon. By then, the demon, with the help of the populists, may have brought down the legitimate democratic process, destroying the institutions that have served us well for centuries. Ironically, these institutions, cleverly crafted to protect their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, would then no longer be able to give them what they were seeking. We must reverse this slide into the abyss. It’s time to wake up to reality and stop drinking the Kool Aid. We need to support our democratic principles and practices. Throw the hoodlums, crooks, and foul-mouthed bullies out of office. Demand that our government work for all people, even the “elitists.” Beware of connivers touting irrational fixes for big problems. Stop acting like victims. Rather, contribute to the solutions that will help us all. Left unchallenged, this kind of populism will destroy the world. A Rancho Bernardo resident, Levine is a retired project management consultant and the author of three books on the subject.

Trump right on Korea I was thoroughly enjoying Barry Cronin's Oct. 5 column, "When the Sun Falls Out of The Sky," until the final paragraph, where he showed his ignorance and attacked President Trump for “mismanaging this nuclear crisis.” Like most of the Trump-haters on the left, Mr. Cronin does not explain his sentiments. He obviously thinks the U.S. was wrong to use nuclear weapons in Japan even if the use of those weapons saved hundreds of thousands of American lives. The fact is President Trump has handled the North Koreans in a reasonable and responsible way. Had the president been living in the White House in 1938 we likely would have avoided World War II. There is only one way to deal with a bully and President Trump has it just right. It's going to be a long eight years for Mr. Cronin and his buddies on the left. Martin Sussman Rancho Bernardo

Orval Chad Lambirth March 20, 1941 - October 3, 2017

RaMOna — Orval Chad Lambirth passed away on October 3, 2017 from complications due to a stroke. He was born on March 20, 1941 in Oskaloosa, Ia. Chad, as everyone knew him, was the child of Roland Lambirth and Doris Moore, both legally blind. Roland worked as a piano tuner and Doris was a published author of poetry. In his youth, he had achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and was inducted as a member of the Order of the arrow, the national Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of america. During his adolescence, Chad’s parents moved the family first to Oregon and then eventually to the San Diego area. Chad graduated from Hoover High School in 1959, and served in the U.S. navy as a submariner from Oct. 28, 1959 to Oct. 14, 1963, with reserve duty until Oct. 27, 1965. His last duty assignment was aboard the USS Grayback. Chad settled in San Diego County after leaving the navy. He soon married and had two children, Michelle and Jason. He brought his technical expertise to service with the State of

California, working as a traffic planner for Cal-Trans for the next 38 years. He was incredibly wellrespected in this position and even after retiring, was frequently called on for advice and assistance. Chad owned and operated a dog boarding kennel and was well known in the aKC community for showing first Irish Setters and then Collies. He continued his work with dogs throughout his life, serving as a showmanship and obedience trainer and judge for many local 4-H clubs and county fairs. He also continued his work with the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts of america as a leader for many years. not long after becoming a 4-H leader, he became

interested in breeding, raising and showing of market swine. Chad, along with his later wife, Frances, became some of the foremost authorities on show quality animals for the local 4-H and FFa clubs. For many years, they operated the Pork on the Rocks Ranch in Ramona and at its height, maintained nearly 350 head of swine. Later, they expanded into breeding and providing market goats for the same clubs and fairs. Chad and Fran’s focus was always on the education of the youth and they became well-known nationwide for their service. In 1993, Chad married Frances Evans Smith after many years of close friendship. Fran’s children had long thought of Chad as family and he had long felt the same about them. Together, Chad and Fran enjoyed many years of happiness, often traveling when they had time between animal breeding seasons or local fairs. no two people seemed to understand each other better. It’s been said even recently, that Fran was the love of Chad’s life. He stood by her side and walked with her every step of the

way through her battle with cancer. Chad Lambirth was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Frances; and step-daughter, Kim nae’ole. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Michelle (Tom) Sturm of Olympia, Wa; son and daughter-in-law, Jason (Kelly) Lambirth of Ramona, Ca; stepdaughter, Keri napoleon of national City, Ca; son-in-law, Herbert nae’ole of Laie, HI; step-son and daughter-in-law, Kenny (angela) Furchner of Poway, Ca; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Chad Lambirth was interred at the nuevo Memory Gardens in Ramona, Ca, on October 9, 2017, during a private service with his immediate family. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Chad’s name to the Ramona Junior Fair, P.O. Box 618, Ramona, Ca 92065 or to the Eastern San Diego County Junior Fair, P.O.

Boy Scouts trek through New Mexico wilderness

Rancho Bernardo Boy Scout Troop 680 recently sent 16 Boy Scouts and six adult leaders on a “life-changing” summer trek through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. Officials said Philmont covers 214 square miles of vast wilderness with trails that climb from 6,500 feet to 12,441 feet. During their trek, the troop had two crews that hiked 74 and 80 miles over 12 days. The scouts and their advisers carried everything they needed to survive their journey on their backs while hiking from camp to camp. They participated in back country programs along the way, including blacksmithing, shooting, mountain biking, fishing, ropes courses and how to use burros.

Their trek also included a conservation project where the scouts learned and participated in the upkeep of Philmont’s ecosystem. They endured tough challenges including backpacking in bear and mountain lion territory, steep climbs and often-inclement weather. According to the organization, Philmont Scout Ranch is the Boy Scouts of America’s premier high adventure camp and the largest youth camp in the world serving nearly one million participants since 1938. Troop 680, founded in Rancho Bernardo in 1969, has about 60 registered scouts and 30 registered adult volunteers. It meets at 7 p.m. each Monday at Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church. For details, email membership@troop680.org.

PREP FOOTBALL

Big test Friday night for Maranatha Christian BY TERRY MONAHAN If Maranatha Christian is going to win its first Pacific League football championship, this week’s road game against league-leading Tri-City Christian could well determine the eventual winner. Tri-City Christian, with a 2-0 record in league play, leads Maranatha and Parker, who are both 1-0. Maranatha has won a league title before, claiming the Ocean League crown back in 2014. But this is a little better competition than that first crown. With just three weeks left in the regular season, Rancho Bernardo and Poway, both of whom are tied with Westview with 2-1 league records, trail undefeated Ramona, with a 4-0 mark. Both must win this week with

MONTE UMSTED

A distraught Poway High player reacts to the Titans losing by one point to Westview High in overtime Friday night.

Poway hosting struggling Vista and Rancho Bernardo visiting Westview. Del Norte and Mt. Carmel are both trying to finish the season strong. Here is a closer look at this week’s games: Del Norte (1-6, 0-3) at Mt. Carmel (1-6, 1-3), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Del Norte lost to Escondido 23-6; Mt. Carmel lost to Ramona 41-3. Notes: This is a battle of the two teams without a chance to win the league title. Del Norte is looking to snap a five-game losing streak going back to a 27-21 win over Fallbrook in Week 2. The Nighthawks had been troubled on offense, scoring just 50 points thus far. Mt. Carmel holds a 6-2 edge in the series with Del Norte’

last win over the Sundevils coming in 2013. Prediction: Mt.

Notes: Rancho Bernardo seems to have found a groove, winning two of its last three games with the only loss coming to top-ranked Mission Hills in there. The Broncos are averaging 124 passing yards and 126 rushing yards this season. The defense will determine the outcome against Westview, which is led by senior QB Beau Nelson.

PREP BOYS WATER POLO

Del Norte High in the mix for Palomar League title BY TERRY MONAHAN When Cameron Lindroth, the Del Norte boys water polo coach, looked at the 2017 schedule before the season began, he knew the final two games would decide the Palomar League championship. He was hoping his Nighthawks would be in the hunt. Heading into the final two weeks, Del Norte has a chance to play for its first league title. Del Norte, now 14-7 overall and 3-0 in league play, hosts Poway (11-6, 2-1) next Tuesday and Westview (11-6, 4-0) on Wednesday. Torrey Pines (13-6, 3-1) is also still in the hunt, but most likely the league champion will come from those two games at Del Norte. “We knew Poway and Westview would be big games for my guys,’’ Lindroth said. “My guys have a lot of friends on those two teams and you never want to lose to your friends. I know.’’ Especially when it carries with it the added incentive of winning the league title. To become a true championship contender

Grant Theriault is leading Del Norte High's water polo team. this year, the Nighthawks needed, in Lindroth’s opinion, to become strong at the offensive end of the pool, more aggressive and improve their swimming skills.

goals. “A bunch of us started doing a morning swim from 6:30 to 7:30 to get better in the pool,’’ Del Norte senior Grant Theriault. “That helped a lot. It’s helped our offense and our defense. “The pool is cold and it seemed like we were the only ones up at that hour, but we needed to do that.’’ Theriault leads a Nighthawks’ contingent of six players who have scored in double figures by scoring 43 goals and 19 assists. Alex Wade is not far behind him with 41 goals and 13 assists with Jake Simeroth at 26 goals and 21 assists. “I think we’ve figured things out on offense,’’ Theriault said. “We finally found our swagger on offense. “This is the first year that we’ve clicked. Everyone in the pool can score. We haven’t done that before. We’re just more aggressive at both ends of the pool.’’ Just being a contender has made Theriault appreciative that he moved into the pool after breaking both kneecaps in separate incidents playing basketball back in middle SEE WATER POLO, B3

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Surprise end to last season motivates RB runner BY TERRY MONAHAN Ali Harper has survived an arduous journey to get to this point. The Rancho Bernardo High senior is one of the San Diego Section’s best cross country runners despite getting a late start on her career. Harper was playing soccer as a Broncos freshman. She also gave volleyball and water polo brief tries. “I wasn’t prepared for how rough water polo was,’’ said the 5-foot-8 Harper, laughing. “I lasted a week.’’ When she looked around, cross country was the next experiment courtesy of an older friend who was running for the Broncos. “I figured why not,’’ Harper said. “I wasn’t serious about it when I got into it sophomore year.’’ Harper wound up, by her own account, as the No. 4 runner on varsity that first year. Her friend got bumped off the varsity and eventually quit. Harper just kept running, although she lacked the focused seriousness needed to excel in a sport. “Her first reaction was she didn’t like to train hard,’’ said Rancho Bernardo coach Terry Dockery. “She was content to just run in the back of the pack.’’ That was Harper’s approach last season too. Until a funny thing happened to her.

A surprise strong finish to last season has motivated Rancho Bernardo's Ali Harper. Harper shocked herself, her teammates, her coach, and maybe everyone on campus by finishing third at the CIF Championships last Nov. 16. Her time of 17minutes, 6 seconds flipped the switch on Harper’s attitude.

She went from not really caring to throwing herself into her training with a vigor she’s never shown. “I was pretty shocked at third place,’’ Harper admitted. “I just wanted to finish that race, but I knew I was third when I finished and I couldn’t believe it. I had not even thought about running in college until that very #1 in Customer Service Satisfaction for all moment.’’ San Diego County Toyota Service Depts. 2016 After placing 34th at last

year’s state meet at Woodward Park in Fresno, Harper has emerged as the top runner for the Broncos. Her pre-race preparations are more indicative of a runner fully engrossed in understanding the competition, hazards on the course, the weather and how teammates fit into the game plan. “No one even knew who I was until that CIF race last year,’’ Harper said. “Now I’ve gotten a few more elbows in the pack.’’ And Harper is also looking seriously at a few colleges, including UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine, as possible spots to continue her new-found running career. “I would have laughed at anyone who told me I’d be looking at colleges two years ago,’’ Harper said, laughing. “I used to run my race, do my thing and go home. Now I have a plan every time out. I try to start fast, keep up that pace and sprint the final 800 yards or so. I’ve always been able to do that.’’ Harper was even fully engaged in summertime cross country training in preparation for her last season. “When I was playing volleyball, I used to watch the cross country runners out running in the really hot weather in September,’’ she said. “Now I’m one of those runners. Summer was big for me. I’ve (personal record) in just about every race SEE HARPER, B3

Rancho Bernardo, which has won three of the last four meetings, leads the series 9-3. Prediction: Rancho Bernardo 31, Westview 30 Vista (2-5, 1-3) at Poway (3-4, 2-1), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Vista lost to Rancho Bernardo 24-7; Poway lost to Westview 37-36 (OT). Notes: Last week’s loss has turned the Titans’ league title dreams sour, but at least they found their offense. Now the Titans have scored 223 points while the defense has surrendered 199 after a slow start. Vista’s wing-T offense has scored just 136 points as the Panthers hope to avoid the first two-win season since back-to-back seasons in 2012-13. Vista has dropped the last two meetings against Poway, but the Panthers hold a 29-12-1

Notes: Maranatha’s offense can hurt you with the run, where it averages 173 yards per game, or with the pass, where it averages 177 yards. Maranatha QB Nick Glenn is closing in 1,000 passing yards. He also has 11 TDs but 11 interceptions. On defense, Maranatha will need a stellar effort against a Tri-City Christian offense, led by QB Zach Reitmeyer, who has seven TD passes. Logan Godwin (38 tackles), Ryan Trent (36 tackles), Josy Thiry (30 tackles, four sacks) and Josh Allen (29 tackles) will muster that effort against Reitmeyer.

Del Norte has won two of the previous three games against Poway but is just 1-3 against Westview. “To beat Poway and Westview would help because they’re a very strong teams that has competed in the Open Division,’’ Theriault said. “Plus, both teams are rivals. “If someone wanted to win the Palomar League, they’d have to deal with Poway and Westview first.’’ But the Nighthawks are hoping maybe there is a third team in this year’s Palomar League picture.

Camarada Quartet to perform Oct. 25 at RB Library BY EMILY SORENSEN Enjoy the sounds of the Camarada Quartet, performing at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25 at the Rancho Bernardo Library. Part of the Classical Concert Series, sponsored by the Friends of the Rancho Bernardo Library, the concert is free and open to the public. Children age 7 and older may attend with a parent or guardian. Donations are appreciated. The Camarada Quartet is made up of Beth Ross-Buckley on flute, David Buckley on violin, Joanna Morrison Pernela on cello and Dana Burnett on piano. Camarada is a classical chamber music ensemble founded over 20 years ago by Ross-Buckley, Ann Chase and Mary Barranger. While Chase and Barranger have since retired, Ross-Buckley still leads the ensemble. The ensemble performs a wide variety of music, including chamber, classical, tango, Celtic music, Baroque and more. Ross-Buckley said the group starts with a piece of music or style they want to perform, then brings in guest artists to join.

The Camarada Quartet This year, Camarada will has performed with 25 guest artists, including Peter Sprague and Fred Benedetti. While Camarada sometimes pulls in guest artists from around the country, the majority

of its performers are local to San Diego. “We try to keep it about local music, offering a great chamber music opportunity for (local musicians),” said Ross-Buckley. The concert at the library will feature a

variety of pieces both modern and classic. The program will begin with Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre’s 17th century-era “Sonata,” for flute, violin, cello and piano, followed by the more modern “Fantasie” for violin by Ellen Taafe Zwilich. The quartet will continue with Henri Dutillieux’s “Sonatine” for flute and piano; Philippe Gaubert’s “Medailles Antiques” for flute, violin and piano; and Fanny Hensel Mendelssohn’s “Fantasie in G Minor” for cello and piano. The concert will conclude with two tango works by Astor Piazzola, “Milonga Sin Palabras” for flute, violin and piano and “Libertango,” for the entire quartet. Camarada is featuring several female composers in the concert because it is doing a remix series focused on female composers, Ross-Buckley said. While a series from the ensemble usually follows a theme, this concert is more of a sampler, showcasing several of the group’s musical styles, she said. For more information on this or any other concert at the library, visit friendsoftheranchobernardolibrary.org.

San Diego Musical Theatre holding 2018 season in Horton Grand Theatre This season’s lineup includes ‘The Full Monty,’ ‘South Pacific’ BY EMILY SORENSEN San Diego Musical Theatre will launch its 11th season in January in the Horton Grand Theatre. The company’s previous Broadway series was held in the Spreckels Theatre. It used the Horton Grand Theatre for its Off Broadway series. The 11th season will include four musicals ranging from movie adaptations to classic musical theater and more. “We are thrilled with the upcoming changes in our 2018 season,” said Erin Lewis, founder and president of SDMT, in a press release. “When we were first approached about the potential of managing the Horton Grand Theatre, we jumped at the opportunity. After spending time in multiple theatres, we have long desired to be in one place.” Lewis called the Horton Grand Theatre a “unique and intimate space” and that producing exclusively at the theater will give the company the opportunity to expand

its programming as well as aiding in its financial longevity. Under the management of the SDMT, new openings for other companies and performing arts groups to utilize the theater will be available when the SDMT is not in production. Kicking off the 2018 season is “The Full Monty,” running from Jan. 26 to Feb. 25. Based on the cult hit film of the same name, “The Full Monty” follows six down-on-their-luck steelworkers who come up with a wild way to raise some quick cash to support their families. Written by Terrence McNally (“Ragtime”) with music and lyrics by David Yazbeck (“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”), the show was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including best musical, best original score and best choreography. The classic musical “South Pacific” will run from April 27 to May 27. Written by musical legends Rodgers and Hammerstein, this musical is set on a South Pacific island during World War II and follows two intercultural love

This winner of eight Tony Awards, including best musical and best original score, tells the story of quirky, plus-sized teenage Tracy Turnblad, in 1962 Detroit, who wins a spot as a dancer on the Corny Collins show. Tracy uses her newfound star power to advocate for racial integration on the show. The 2018 season will conclude with “Young Frankenstein,” opening Sept. 28 and running through Oct. 28. Based on Mel Brooks’ original comedy film, this adaptation (with music and lyrics also by Brooks and book by Brooks and Thomas Meehan) wickedly re-imagines the legend of Frankenstein.

A gut reaction: The magic of prebiotics

Y

ou know you’re really getting old when a group of girlfriends get together for a casual lunch, and the topics of conversation revolve around recent or upcoming procedures, joint ailments, skin disorders and intestinal complaints. One friend mentioned how prebiotics had eased her digestive issues. My ears perked up, and I immediately corrected her, thinking she meant “probiotics.” But these two close cousins have a symbiotic relationship helping create and maintain a healthy, happy gut. Both probiotics and prebiotics are allies in keeping the colon well oiled, lubed and running smoothly. The former are living microorganisms, the friendly kind that take up residence in the gastro tract performing assorted housecleaning duties to dial up digestion and boost the immune system. Probiotic powerhouses, including luscious Greek style and goat-based yogurts have a rich store of live cultures, especially lactobacillus and acidophilus, while refreshing and slightly sour kefir, a fermented yogurt beverage is packed with antioxidants and billions of colony-forming units. For savory palates, load up on sour dill pickles; sauerkraut, particularly the fresh refrigerated kind with a bigger bang of friendly flora; spicy kimchi, a Korean staple of fermented

cabbage; or miso soup made from fermented soybean paste that balances digestion while adding a dose of immune-boosting lactobacilli and bifidus bacteria. Or do tempeh, an ancient Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans and shaped in a densely-packed patty, much like tofu. To wash it down nicely, kombucha tea (although enjoyed for centuries) has recently been hailed as a new favorite refresher to boost energy and provide a sense of wellbeing. A culture of yeast and bacteria is blended with the sweetened tea to provide a fermented cup of full-bodied fizz. And since probiotics need to eat heartily for sustenance to maintain a healthy and efficient colon, that’s where precious prebiotics come in to play. They are the undigestible plant fiber that provide a food source for their intestinal roommates, and provide bulk to keep the constitution humming. So amp up your supply of prebiotics best found in the following foods: ■ Chicory root, an ancient Egyptian cure-all lauded today for its anti-inflammatory properties, is high in inulin, a diabetic friendly carbohydrate fiber. Food producers extract this magical ingredient and add it to assorted items from ice creams and yogurts to baked goods and

power bars. So read labels judiciously, and choose products containing the Herculean prebiotic fiber. With delicate nuances of mocha, chicory root is also ground to a fine powder and used as a coffee substitute without the jitters of jo. ■ Jerusalem artichoke or sunchoke, known by the moniker “fartichoke” for its high fiber content and flatulence-causing power, is actually a member of the sunflower (not the artichoke) family. Resembling a gnarly ginger root, the Jerusalem artichoke adds a prebiotic and mineral oomph to salads, dips, soups, rostis and sauces. Or steam, roast, sauté, bake or stir-fry for a low-glycemic substitute for potatoes. Check out pastas containing the power root for a nutritional and palate change up. ■ Garlic, the antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory sulfuric super food practically good for everything except decoding Snapchat, is also a prebiotic darling. So add this “stinky rose” to everything from hummus, guacamole and yogurt dips to soups, sauces, and vinaigrette dressings. ■ While onions of all manners are also a good source of gut fiber, leeks add a delicate and breath-friendly addition to green salads, chilled soups, and toppings for burgers, grilled wild caught fish and chicken. ■ Dandelion greens pack a prebiotic punch, along with a rich store of calcium, iron, blood and bone boosting Vitamin K and eye enhancing Vitamin A. While these leaves tend to be slightly bitter, a quick immersion in boiling water will do the trick. Add greens to sandwiches, casseroles, stews, herbal teas, or concoct this warm, wilted salad to make your taste buds and gut sing.

Warm Dandelion Greens Salad ■ Ingredients: • 1 bunch each of baby spinach and dandelion greens (washed and trimmed) • 1 small red onion, diced • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1 heirloom tomato, cubed • 1/3 cup almonds, toasted and sliced ■ For the dressing: • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, and 2 tablespoons for sautéing • 2 tablespoons cider, champagne or white balsamic vinegar • Juice from one Meyer lemon • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard • 1 tablespoon honey ■ Method: In a large salad bowl, blend greens and tomatoes. In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic in two tablespoons of oil until translucent. Whisk in dressing ingredients, heat for 2 minutes. Toss with greens. Sprinkle almonds on top. Serve warm. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

First ask questions, then speak

P

rofessional magician Jacques Lord was invited to speak, all expenses paid plus honorarium, at a recent conference. I spoke at a trade group, got rubber chicken, and paid for my own parking. Clearly not all speaking gigs are equal. Over 30 years I’ve presented before hundreds of groups, many at no charge. Sometimes I’m doing it to help the community; other times I’m looking to create business opportunities. Yet I declined the invitation when asked to speak in Brawley. The 276-mile roundtrip didn’t seem worth the one anticipated potential sales opportunity. Sounds mercenary, right? But when added to the reality that I’m not a member of the Brawley community, I couldn’t justify the investment of time and gasoline. So, while I’m happy to help when and where I can, that seemed a bit extreme to me. It’s something to consider as you schedule your own speaking engagements. A group requesting you as a speaker is unquestionable flattering. However, whether you’re being driven by desire to build business or to be altruistic, the audience and economics must make sense for you. Over the years I’ve seen 5-8 percent of a given room typically wants to learn more about a given speaker. Meaning a small audience limits your opportunities. Asking initial questions can go a long way to

helping you achieve your objectives. Information you need to make an educated decision include: • Audience demographics, size and location • Objectives of the presentation • Who’s paying your expenses Doing your research now will prevent you driving hours to present to two business owners and their curious poker buddies. Yes, I once did that because I wasn’t smart enough to ask a few questions. So remember Harvey’s Law: It costs you to learn. And learn from my mistake … nowhere is it written that you must accept every invitation. Sure, you’ll still want to speak to groups just for the exposure, although now you’re going in with eyes open. Finally, if your group wants a speaker, you might consider: • Offering travel expenses • Promoting the speaker • Paying an honorarium After all, professionals of every stripe need incentive to invest the time, creativity, and research needed to make their presentation interesting and informative for your audience. You can’t expect an hour’s entertainment merely because you’re nice guys. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Invite Mr. Marketing to speak at www.marketbuilding.com.

Allen Barron can help with your tax accounting needs BY EMILY SORENSEN Looking for help with your taxes? Allen Barron provides tax, accounting, financial and management advisory services to individuals and businesses. Formed in 1995 by Janathan Allen and Richard Barron, Allen Barron is a full service tax firm that handles all forms of tax compliance, said Allen. The firm, located in Rancho Bernardo, works with clients not only in Southern California but across the country and internationally. One common issue Allen Barron handles is international reporting of assets. Many foreign workers are unaware that while working in the United States, they must report not only to the IRS, but to their own country as well, while others simply ignore this dual-reporting requirement and hope for the best, Janathan Allen said. Many countries have more draconian penalties than the United States for failure to report assets of which foreign workers are not aware. Changing tax requirements and tax law is also causing problems for many businesses and individuals, Allen said, with which Allen Barron can assist. Allen Barron generally starts with a free one-hour

consultation, where Allen and her team will consult with an individual or business owner to find out what their problems are and if Allen Barron can help. From there, if Allen Barron can help, a project is created based on the client’s needs are. While the work is integrated so that the most important issue is addressed first, Allen said that an issue in one area can create an issue in another— for example, an issue in a business’s accounting can create problems in its tax reporting. Allen said that the company also works on issues resulting from individuals or businesses relying on programs like LegalZoom or QuickBooks, usually from being set up incorrectly. “There’s always the issue of accounting,” she said. “Accounting is not perceived as relevant,

especially if (people) don’t understand why (proper accounting is important). Huge issues can result down the road from improper set-up and use of (programs like) QuickBooks. We can go back and provide an integrated approach for (the client), whether they are a growing business or a multi-million dollar (corporation).” Allen did not initially plan to get into accounting and tax law, she said, but originally wanted to become a musician. Her father convinced her to pursue something else. She attended the University of Montana “without a clue what I wanted to do (with my life).” She took accounting classes based on a suggestion from her mother. After the classes began delving into taxes, Allen found her interest. Allen spent 20 years in public accounting before moving into private consulting and opening Allen Barron. She said she made the switch to consulting because every time she did someone’s tax returns, she had to look backward. “People are not good about planning ahead.” For more information on Allen Barron and the services it offers, visit allenbarron.com or call 858-304-0947.

What vets, service members need to know when buying a home (StatePoint) If you’re a veteran, reservist or active duty service member, it’s important to know that there are special benefits you may be eligible for when buying a home. “Veterans and service members have earned the opportunity to become homeowners, and it’s crucial that they are well-informed about the benefits and options available to them,” says Greg Murray, military mortgage program manager at Wells Fargo, who is also a U.S. Navy veteran. To help, Murray has identified the top four things to know when buying a home. • There are special financial education resources designed for military personnel and veterans. Take advantage of these free online resources so you can be a savvier home shopper. For example, Wells Fargo’s Hands on Banking for Military, which offers courses on topics like banking basics and smart spending, also contains a comprehensive guide on home-buying. • Before assuming you won’t qualify for a loan, talk to a lender. Be sure to tell the lender that you have served or are

There are special benefits veterans and service members may be eligible for when buying a home. currently serving in the military. They can inform you about the options available to you, such as a Veteran’s Administration loan. A VA loan is a home loan guaranteed by the federal government, designed to help

those who’ve served in the military obtain homeownership. They can sometimes be obtained with zero down payment. Gifts or grants can be used to help cover down payment and closing costs, subject to program

requirements, and no mortgage insurance is required. • A large portion of qualified buyers aren’t taking advantage of the low-to-no-down-payment mortgage options available through VA loans. Indeed, more

than 21 million veterans and service members live in the U.S., however, over the past five years, a mere 6 percent of them bought a home using a VA home loan, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. This may be due to the common myth that active duty service members, National Guard members and reservists are not eligible for VA loans (in fact, they may be eligible). Many also are unaware that unmarried, surviving spouses of veterans who died as a result of service or service-related causes are also eligible. • Individual banks, not the Department of Veterans Affairs, offer VA loans, allowing you to work with a lender who understands your needs and makes you feel comfortable. “A specialized team member who understands unique military needs can help you make the most of the home loan benefits you’ve earned,” says Murray. Developing a relationship with this lender is also a good idea, as you may later choose to refinance through the VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) program.
