Protected homes in RB, was impressed by residents’ resilience
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The 10th anniversary of the fire storm that swept San Diego County in October 2007 has been bringing back memories for not just those who were evacuated and, for some, forever impacted due to loss. Those also recalling those horrific days include firefighters who experienced the flames first-hand as they attempted to save thousands of homes and the lives of 500,000-plus fleeing residents during the largest San Diego Fire-Rescue evacuation in county history. San Diego Fire-Rescue Battalion Battalion Chief Rick Ballard, then a fire Chief Rick Ballard captain, was among those on the front lines of the blaze, working 72 hours straight with, as he recalled, only a two-hour rest on top of a fire engine in the Westwood Shopping Center at some point. Ballard said he and the other firefighters basically stayed awake to fight the flames due to adrenalin. Ballard said Oct. 21, 2007 was his day off, but after learning at his son’s baseball game of a fire — dubbed Witch Creek — that sparked at 12:35 p.m.

east of Ramona, he reported to his downtown San Diego fire station to join a strike team deployed to Carmel Mountain Ranch. By that evening, they were told flames would likely enter San Diego city limits in San Pasqual by 4 a.m. Oct. 22, so the crew moved out to the Highland Valley area and planned on getting about four hours sleep before they were to take a stand against the flames. “Literally, my head hit the pillow and (we were told) get up, let’s go now,” Ballard said. “We did not get a wink of sleep.” The Guejito fire began at 1:30 a.m. near the

then-Wild Animal Park (now San Diego Zoo Safari Park). It entered Rancho Bernardo and Poway during the middle of the night and later merged with the Witch Creek fire when the latter caught up with Guejito due to Santa Ana-fueled winds. The fires burned more than 197,990 acres, 9,250 acres within the City of San Diego. In all, 1,141 residences were destroyed, including 365 in RB and 90 in Poway. Ballard said his crew traveled toward the Wild Animal Park, but when flames jumped Highway 78 at San Pasqual Road they went back to Highland Valley. His crew took a stand at a home in Bandy Canyon, where consistent winds exceeded 85 miles per hour and gusts 100-plus mph. “I initially thought we could stop the fire quick, but realized that was not the case,” he said. “I could see embers flying past the size of basketballs. ... There was no way to stop the sparks that were constantly flying by.” At one point, when flames were coming at them from three fronts, including overhead, the fire crew had to seek refuge inside the house they were protecting for about five minutes, he said. The house was saved, but all others in that area were lost. SEE FIREFIGHTER, A13

Widow organizes forum to help others legally, financially plan for death Mary Karscig is sharing what she learned from experience BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A local woman is hosting a free workshop based on what she learned about financial and legal issues after her husband’s sudden death five years ago. “What to Expect When You’re Not Expecting” will be offered from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7 in the 4S Ranch Library, 10433 Reserve Drive. Seating is limited. RSVP at 858-759-4599 or shmrok5@gmail.com. Speakers will include a lawyer, accountant, financial planner/stock broker and personal banker, who will give their expert advice on steps survivors need to take following the death or catastrophic illness of a spouse, parent or family member for whom one has care responsibility. Workshop organizer Mary Karscig, whose family has lived in the Poway/Rancho Bernardo area for 32 years, said she thought her family’s legal affairs were in order before her husband, Joe, died. “I suddenly found myself a widow and didn’t have a clue ... what to do,” she said. “(My husband) had told me, if anything happens, just call our estate attorney, CPA, banker and stock broker. “But that’s not how it goes,” Karscig said. “It (involves) so much more.” One thing Karscig said she learned was that as soon as she visited their estate attorney, the couple’s assets were split in half. “I was really fortunate to have a great team (helping me) because I was rather numb,” she said. “My husband controlled all our finances and I needed passwords,” she said. “The suddenness of it all was very shocking and if not for a great team I would not have been able to function immediately the way I (had) to. “People do not realize that if there is a sudden illness that is catastrophic they have got to get things in order too,” she said. “You never understand the challenges until you face them when your predictability ends,”

Karscig said the information presented at the workshop is not only relevant to older people, but those who are young adults. “People who are young don’t think they have to have a trust, that it’s too expensive, but they better at least have a will if they have a home and children,” she said. Karscig said she will share her story then turn the workshop over to the panelists, who will each spend 10 to 15 minutes talking about their field of expertise. It will not be a solicitation for business, she added. The speakers will be lawyers Roberta J. Robinson and Daniel J. Wilson; Robert W. Davis, a certified public accountant from David Hayes Accounting; financial planner/stock broker Alan Grossman, a senior vice president at D.A. Davidson & Co.; and Vincent Michael Affinito, a personal banker at Citibank in Poway.
Community Church of Poway’s Fall Festival is Saturday BY EMILY SORENSEN The Community Church of Poway is holding its 32nd annual Fall Festival from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28 at the church, at Community Road and Hilleary Place in Poway. This free, family-friendly event will include shopping for holiday gifts, Grandma’s Café, fun for kids and a classic car show. The festival will include a wide variety of vendors, selling all sorts of holiday gifts. Some of these include baby items, such as quilts and blankets, designer women’s clothing, metalwork yard décor, fragrances, jewelry, books, toys, and handmade Guatemalan items like weavings and beadwork from the church’s Guatemala Project. “We’re delighted that there is a variety (of items being sold) this year,” said Mary Jo Longo, president of the church’s Women’s Ministry, which is sponsoring the festival. A Chihuahua rescue organization will be at the event with Chihuahua dogs up for adoption and for children there will be
carnival games, a bounce house and face-painting. Grandma’s Café will be selling the festival’s traditional bean soup and cornbread.

Tickets will be for sale for raffles the festival is holding. There will be 15 baskets raffled, including two handmade quilt baskets, a chocolate-and-wine basket, two baby baskets, a book basket, a coffee basket and more.

Wildfire exhibit on display at RB museum until Nov. 14 BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK An exhibit on the 2007 wildfires that destroyed more than 450 homes in the area can be viewed at the Rancho Bernardo History Museum through Nov. 14. The exhibit, which opened Friday, includes newspapers and photos of the Witch Creek and Guejito fires, a list of the CRYSTAL HOYT 365 Rancho Bernardo homes lost plus more that were damaged, and photos taken by locals at the Qualcomm Stadium evacuation site. There are also items representing the aftermath and recovery, including an American flag from and photo of the Healing Field created in Rancho Bernardo Community Park days after the fire. Each flag represented a home lost in the region. There are also quilts featuring panels made by locals depicting the blaze or recovery, donated by RB United. It also includes photos and newspaper clippings from two other blazes that hit the region, an October 1967 fire that hit Poway and a June 1981 blaze that caused Westwood residents to evacuate after it traveled to RB from Black Mountain. “We just want to remember (the 10th anniversary) because it was a big part of Rancho Bernardo’s recent history,” said Peggy Rossi, the museum’s collections manager. “Every October we think about it and I imagine every 10 years we will bring things out to remember the strength people had when they rebuilt their lives after all of that.” The museum is part of the Rancho Bernardo Historical Society and located in Bernardo Winery, 13330 Paseo del Verano Norte. The winery was among areas on the fire’s front during the early morning hours of Oct. 22, 2007. The exhibit, along with other items showcasing the area’s

Rossi said the museum staff would also like to speak with those who experienced the fires to expand the historical record. “We want photographs and memories,” she said, explaining few first-hand accounts were recorded by museum staff at the time because everyone was “too raw” emotionally. Those interested in having their photos scanned or sharing their memories can contact the museum at 858-775-5788 to make arrangements. “This (collection) will always be a work in progress,” Rossi said. “Certainly on this, such a significant event in our community that affected everyone one way or another.

BY YVETTE URREA MOE As firefighters struggle to get deadly wildfires under control in Northern California, San Diego county and city officials marked the 10th anniversary of the 2007 wildfires and called upon residents to do their part to prepare for another emergency. The officials addressed the topic at Gillespie Field in El Cajon with regional emergency partners on Oct. 18. The message is especially timely as the San Diego region is facing peak fire conditions, Santa Ana winds, dried out grasses and vegetation in the backcountry, and high temperatures just as it did in 2007. Adding to the urgency, the County Office of Emergency Services commissioned a survey of nearly 1,100 residents earlier this year to ask them how prepared they were, so responses could be compared to a similar survey taken in 2007. The results showed that only half of residents asked this year were prepared to evacuate their home within 15 minutes, as compared to 74 percent who said they were ready in 2007. San Diego now has more locally stationed resources to fight a wildfire than any other region in the nation. While emergency officials cited major improvements in fire protection, coordination and resource sharing regionwide since the October 2007 wildfires, they said the personal preparedness survey results were concerning. “I wish I could say that all of the efforts that we have put together would prevent another major fire disaster in San Diego County but it won’t,” said Chairwoman Dianne Jacob, San Diego County Board of Supervisors. “We are far better prepared to fight that fire and the goal is to put it out while it’s still under 10 acres, but it will happen again. We don’t know when, but let’s be prepared.” Residents were encouraged to create a personal disaster plan, practice evacuating with their family, register all cell phones with AlertSanDiego, talk with neighbors, and take steps around their home to create defensible space — except when it is too risky to operate power equipment outside because it might spark a fire. Perhaps one of the most heartfelt pleas for personal preparedness came from Michelle Grimaldo, who lost her home in the 2007 wildfires. She fought back tears at times recounting how she and her husband and mother had to evacuate twice, once in the middle of the night. They parked in a cleared field with the fire burning all around them. Grimaldo said she was convinced they were going to die that day and they all hugged as if they were saying goodbye. Yet, they survived. “The tragic fires up north reiterated to my husband and I that we need to be vigilant, we need to be prepared, we need to have a plan,” Grimaldo said. “And I’ve been hearing that here right now, about defensible space, making sure you have your property cleared at least 100 feet — if you can, more. Get to know your neighbors, have a game plan for an escape, have an evacuation route — in case you do live on a road that only has one way out, what else are you going to do? “Give yourself a fighting chance if disaster strikes. Give the firefighters the best possible advantage to save your home. Listen to the police and firefighters when they tell you to evacuate. Don’t risk your life for things. Take it from us, things can be replaced,” Grimaldo

said. The Witch Creek fire, Harris fire and other blazes a decade ago killed seven people, gutted thousands of structures, burned 580 square miles and triggered the largest evacuation San Diego County has ever seen. The first fires ignited on Oct. 21, 2007. Tony Mecham, San Diego County Fire and CAL FIRE unit chief, said the wildfire updates in Northern California reminded him of working as a commander during the Harris fire in 2007. He reflected back on the fatalities, the three other firefighters who were critically burned, and evacuating 22 severely burned people on that incident in that first 72 hours. “This is the new norm we live in,” Mecham said. “Large devastating wildland fires which destroy communities and life and property have become the new norm or our new reality of what we’re dealing with. Fires are no longer just something that stays out in the backcountry. “My concern is that the general public still looks on us as first responders as Plan A,” he said. “We will never be your Plan A. We are the Plan B.” Mecham said Plan A is everybody taking personal preparedness steps and being ready to evacuate when needed. In addition to showing a declining level of readiness to evacuate in the 2017 citizen preparedness survey, only 38 percent said they have an emergency plan in case of a disaster, down from 50 percent in 2007. The County Office of Emergency Services is putting the finishing touches on the survey and expects to release the complete results next month. “We cannot stress that enough, the need to be prepared as an entire region, as families, and as neighborhoods,” said San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. “We hope we are never faced with another crisis like we saw ten years ago, with those fires, but the only way to face that is to be prepared and to work together as everyone’s safety is at stake.” San Diego Fire-Rescue Chief Brian Fennessey said survey results that show personal preparedness has declined is not good news. “Complacency, flat out, is a killer,” he said. “Citizens need to prepare themselves in advance, not have a fire truck in every driveway. Many resources are available.” Residents can go to ReadySanDiego.org to learn how to prepare for wildfires, register for AlertSanDiego and learn how to download the SDEmergency App. Residents can also visit Ready, Set, Go! to learn what to do to get ready for wildfire.

Creepy costumes, glowing jack-o’-lanterns and candy galore make Halloween a treat for kids and grown-ups alike, but they can be seriously scary for pets. To keep your pets safe and healthy this Halloween, San Diego Humane Society recommends keeping the following tips in mind. • Stay in: Keep pets inside, away from trick-or-treaters and other Halloween activities. To reduce stress levels, keep pets in an enclosed room with their favorite toys and with the television or radio on. • Doorbell damage control: Excessive ringing of the doorbell can make some dogs bark and raise their stress levels. Consider leaving a note on your door that asks trick-or-treaters to lightly knock rather than ring the doorbell. • Keep sweets out of reach: Chocolate and other ingredients can be toxic to animals, so keep candy somewhere they won’t be able to get into. Also, be mindful of wrappers and foil — they can be a choking hazard to animals. • Costumes are not for everyone: Just because animals look adorable in costumes, doesn’t necessarily mean they like it! Don’t make your pet wear a costume unless you’re sure they enjoy it. A simple Halloween bandana can be a more comfortable alternative to a full costume. • Use caution with Halloween decor: Keep jack-o’-lanterns with flames out of reach of your pets. Or, only use flameless candles to prevent curious pets from getting burned. Also, use caution with fake cobwebs and other decorations that could be a choking hazard for your pet. • ID your pet: Make sure that all of your pets are microchipped and wearing tags with a

New Poway Kiwanis president begins term
COURTESY PHOTO
NEW GARDEN CLUB BOARD Members of the board of the Green Valley Garden Club gathered at recent monthly meeting. The 2017-18 board includes Cinda Raupe, Linda Trunzo, Mary Thompson, Marilyn Phillips, Sharon Hinkle and Betty Huber. The club has been going for over 35 years and meets on the third Thursday of each month. Members enjoy various speakers on gardening and local field trips. For more information call K Sorensen at 858-735-2355.
It’s been 22 years between terms, but new Poway Kiwanis Club President Steve Dreyer says he’s excited to head the community’s largest service club and has new ideas to share. Dreyer joined the club in 1993 and served as president from 1995-96. Since then he has served in a wide variety of Kiwanis-related roles, including being a lieutenant governor of Division 37 in 2005-06, a member of the cabinets of several district governors and a certified club leadership instructor. “For me it’s an opportunity to get back to my Kiwanis roots and share with my members many of the proven strategies that have helped other clubs thrive,” Dreyer said. His theme for the year, which began Oct. 1, is “The Best Show in Town.” “The idea is to make sure that whatever event we hold, whether a service project, fundraiser or social event, is planned so well that members and guests leave saying, ‘That was time and money well spent,’” he said. The four goals set by the new president are: improving communication, helping newer members find their “Kiwanis passion,” improving efforts to recognize member contributions to the club and attracting and inducting informed new members. Dreyer is the editor of the Poway News Chieftain and the Rancho Bernardo News Journal. He also serves on the board of the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation. The club on Sunday is sponsoring the “Jack-O-Smash Fun Runs and Family Festival,” which it took over this year from the event’s founding
organizers. Its next major project is the annual “Holiday With Heroes,” where Marines and first-responders are matched with underserved youngsters in Poway for holiday shopping trips at Walmart. The event is set for Dec. Steve Dreyer 14. Poway Kiwanis sponsors four service and leadership development programs for students: the K-Kids Club at Painted Rock Elementary School, the Builders Club at Twin Peaks Middle School, the Poway High Key Club and Circle K at Cal State San Marcos. The club also sponsors the Abraxas Aktion Club for young adults with special needs. With 66 members, Poway is the largest Kiwanis Club in North County and the largest service club in town. Attracting new members remains a top priority, Dreyer said. “We’ve got a great mix of people in our club who enjoy each other and helping the kids in our community,” he said. “We hold both morning and evening meetings so people who are working or dropping off kids at school can still join us once in a while.” The club meets for one hour at 7 a.m. on the first, third and fourth Thursdays and for 90 minutes at 6:30 p.m. on the second Thursday. All meetings are held at The Hamburger Factory in Old Poway Park. Memberships are $200 per year, plus $10 per meal. A pre-paid meal plan is also offered. For more information about the club, visit powaykiwanis.org.

“The way the wind blew the embers, and how fast, I’d never seen anything like that before or since in my entire life,” Ballard said, adding, “It was amazing, the power of the fire and power of the wind, moving the fire at a speed beyond my imagination.” He said the team was then sent to protect homes near Bernardo Winery and Rancho Bernardo’s Oaks North neighborhood. “Some homes were so involved we could not save them, so we went inside to take pictures and computer towers (out),” he said. “We took what visually looked important, threw it on a bed spread so we could take it out and set it in the street. The homes were beyond our ability to save.” He said firefighters figured family photos were likely saved on the computers, so they hoped to salvage some memories for the residents. They stayed there until sunrise, then moved over to a condo complex east of Interstate 15 near the cross atop Battle Mountain. When they arrived some units were fully engulfed in flames and others already gone. Ballard said he stayed there but sent 10 fire engines working with him to Westwood, since crews were calling for assistance. “We were surprised and shocked how it hit,” he said. “We expected it to come in and hit a few blocks on the east side, but nothing on the west side. In Westwood, we did not think (it would likely hit). Maybe ... 15 at most. ... But the wind was just blowing embers so far.” Ballard, who also fought the 2003 Cedar fire, said firefighters thought homes along canyons would be in danger, but not those in the middle of a neighborhood, as happened in Westwood, where homes throughout caught on fire. He said this was due to the flying embers, with some being palm fronds flying through the air “like flaring Roman candles,” carrying flames among homes blocks away. Flying embers also set homes on fire hours after crews had protected an area, extinguished hot spots and moved on. With limited resources and all homes on a block ablaze, Ballard said crews had to triage the homes they could attempt to save. They favored those with open landscaping over homes with old, shake shingle roofs or surrounded by dense bushes and vegetation up against the houses. “It was like gasoline,” he said. “There was no way we could stop the fire with one engine on that day. We had to make those decisions. It
FROM HALLOWEEN, A1 Program and the Poway Kiwanis Club Foundation. At the always-popular “Once Upon a Hallowe’en,” the Poway-Midland Railroad will offer rides into the past aboard the “Halloween Express.” A children's costume parade will be held at 6 p.m. There is no charge to enter and children of all ages are invited to participate. Children’s Librarian Loretta Gibson will read spooky stories from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Templars Hall. Be sure to visit the Porter House and see it transformed into a “Haunted House” filled with all manner of surprises guaranteed to thrill and chill. Children can play a variety of carnival-type games, race ducks in the fountain and make a Halloween-inspired craft project to take home as a remembrance of this magical evening. A replica of the Ectomobile from the movie “Ghostbusters” will be on-site with lights flashing to add to the evening’s festivities. “Thriller” dancers and roller-skating disco zombies will perform in the gazebo.
breaks your heart, because we do not want anybody to lose their home. It was tough decisions we made on the fly.” Ballard said there is a lot residents can do to help firefighters in the future. First is to prepare for evacuation. “People have their lives on their computer, so back up to a cloud,” he said. Other tips include having medications in one spot and pets ready to leave. He advises removing vegetation and bark mulch from up against homes. He said it is important to know multiple escape routes and evacuating early. Ballard said firefighters’ entry into Oaks North was hampered a bit by the long line of cars filled with evacuees. He said changes have been made at the city and county in terms of technology used to notify residents to evacuate and equipment to fight fires. One of the biggest changes was in expanding the city’s reserve apparatuses. A decade ago there were fewer than five available on any given day, now the reserve fleet has 32 engines. “(In 2007) we had plenty of firefighters, but no equipment for them to use,” he said. Ten pickup-style small fire engines with 100-gallon water tanks and two-person crews are now available to patrol burned areas and extinguish hot spots in order to protect homes not initially burned, he said. Communication improvements include all firefighters having radios, instead of just one radio per crew. More air support is now available, strike teams are put on notice when weather conditions warrant and training has been done with military personnel so they can also be utilized. Ballard said firefighters were told in 2003 that the Cedar fire was a “once in a lifetime event ... and we would never see anything like it. Little did we know (we would) four years later.” As much as fighting the blaze stands out for him, Ballard said one of his most memorable experiences occurred three days later after residents returned to Rancho Bernardo. “It was truly heartbreaking to watch them go through (the ashes) ... hoping to find a ring, necklace or memento,” he said. “We went to In-n-Out in Carmel Mountain Ranch, walked in (and saw) people who literally lost everything give us a standing ovation. “Rancho Bernardo residents are incredible,” he said. “One lady walked up, who had lost everything ... to thank us. ... (Their) positive attitude and outlook was ‘we will rebuild together.’ It was an incredible experience for me.” The Hamburger Factory will have corn dogs and macaroni and cheese available for purchase. The Twin Peaks Builders Club will also be selling popcorn. Guests also may have unique beverages concocted to their specifications by Sodalirious Soda Company. Fairytale Delight Events will be on hand for face painting, or attendees can take home a permanent remembrance from local caricature artist John Wismont. High school student and adult volunteers are also being sought to help out at the event. People are needed to help set up the event, man various carnival booths, populate the haunted house and clean up afterward. Those interested in volunteering should contact Lynn Wolsey at lynnwolseydesigns2014@gmail.com. Community service hours are available for students. Most activities are free to the public, though some, such as riding the train, have a nominal fee. Sponsors include the Poway-Midland Railroad, Living Way Church and the City of Poway.

Wildfire evacuation: Preparation is key BY JULIE TABER When living within wildland urban interface areas, planning ahead for wildfires is a necessity. Fire can strike without warning and move alarmingly fast, often leaving residents with limited time to gather household belongings and mementos. Preparing for wildfires before they happen is your best defense against the flames. Be sure to register your home phone number, cell phone number and email address with AlertSanDiego, San Diego County’s mass emergency notification system. Registration can be done online at AlertSanDiego.org. The county also has an app that
provides information during emergencies, including push notifications on your phone. Simply search “San Diego Emergency” wherever you get your apps. These tools will make it easier for officials to notify you of an emergency or evacuation order in your area. An emergency plan is an essential for a safe and methodical evacuation during a disaster. Prepare, review and practice your evacuation plan with your family before an emergency situation occurs. When designing your plan with your family, be sure to include the following: ■ Identify a minimum of two main exit routes from your neighborhood.
Map out alternative routes in the event main routes are blocked. ■ Know the location of safe zones (such as golf courses or large open fields) and evacuation centers in the area during wildfire or other disaster situations. ■ Make a list of “important items” that cannot be left behind, such as medications, prescriptions and eyeglasses, important documents (e.g., birth certificates, tax records, etc.), items of sentimental value, pets (and their supplies), etc. ■ Designate a relative or friend as an out-of-area contact through whom family members can relay information. Long-distance phone systems are often operational when local phone communications are overloaded. ■ Plan how you will transport your pets. Make sure all your animals are wearing either a license or identification tag. Consider having your animals microchipped for identification purposes. If you own large animals, such as horses and livestock, make arrangements far in advance for their transportation and lodging during an emergency. Train them in advance how to load into trailers quickly and easily. Do not let horses loose to fend for themselves unless there is no other option and they are in imminent danger. Turning them out in a large arena that allows the animals to get away from vegetation is a better option. ■ If you are unable to drive a car,
develop a network of neighbors, friends and/or caregivers who can help you prepare for and assist you during a disaster. ■ Make a contingency plan should you not be home when wildfire threatens. Make arrangements in advance for people or pets that will be home when you are not. Prearrange a family meeting place outside of your neighborhood as well. If a fire does approach, the following suggestions will help in the pre-evacuation and evacuation process. If there is time: ■ Wear cotton or wool long pants, long-sleeve shirts or jackets, gloves and a damp cloth to cover your nose and mouth. Do not wear short sleeve shirts or synthetic fabrics. ■ Back your car into the garage (facing out) keeping the windows closed and keys in the ignition. ■ Close the garage door, but leave it unlocked. Disconnect the automatic garage door in case of power failure. ■ Place valuable documents, family mementos, pets and other valuables in your car in the garage for a quick departure. ■ Move yard furniture, firewood or other combustible materials away from the exterior of the house or store it in the garage. ■ Attach garden hoses to spigots. Place hoses so they can reach any area around your home. ■ Fill sinks, bathtubs and buckets with water to serve as extra sources of clean water.
■ To eliminate the possibility of sparks blowing into hidden areas within the house, close window shutters if they are fire resistant and cover windows, attic openings, eave vents and sub-floor vents with fire resistant material such as 1/2-inch or thicker plywood. ■ If you have one, place an aluminum ladder against the house on the side opposite the approaching fire to help firefighters access your roof quickly. ■ Close all windows and doors to prevent sparks from blowing inside. Close all interior doors to slow interior fire spread. ■ To make your house more visible in heavy smoke, turn porch and yard lights on and turn on a light in each room of your home. ■ Shut off liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas valves. ■ Most local communities have narrow roads, which can cause traffic congestion leading to panic for those evacuating. Evacuate early. You do not need to wait for an evacuation order. If at any time you feel threatened, leave. You may also want to leave early if the evacuation will take a long time, such as if you are evacuating with small children, dependent adults or large animals. If you are told to evacuate, do so immediately. While having your home damaged or destroyed by fire can be devastating, it is not worth risking your life or the lives of SEE EVACUATION, A15

FROM EVACUATION, A14 firefighters. ■ Evacuate in the opposite direction of the fire. ■ Do not attempt to pick up children from school or daycare. Staff members are trained to protect your children and will institute proper emergency procedures on site. ■ Call your out-of-town contact and let them know you are evacuating and where you are going. ■ Once you have left, stay out of the area until authorities permit re-entry. This may take a while as fire and safety personnel have to make sure it is safe and the infrastructure is in place for residents to repopulate the area.
Portugal, Danube River and South Africa are destinations BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A trip to Portugal, a South African safari adventure and a cruise down the Danube River are being offered through the North San Diego Business Chamber’s travel program next year. Anyone in the community is welcome to participate. An information meeting about the Portugal “hidden treasures” trip, scheduled for April 20-28, and the South African “adventure and safari,” scheduled for Aug. 11-20, will be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 2 in the chamber office, 10875 Rancho Bernardo Road, Suite 104 in Rancho Bernardo. The Portugal trip highlights will include visiting Lisbon, Sintra, Cabo de Roca, wine tasting, the Shrine of Fatima, a traditional Fado show, the UNESCO World Heritage Jeronimos Monastery and Belem Tower. Some sightseeing destinations are optional for an additional fee. There is also an optional post-tour to Santiago de Compostel. The trip starts at $3,249 per person for double occupancy accommodations. Single occupancy is an additional $499. The price includes hotels, 10 meals, day trips and round-trip airfare from San Diego for seven nights and nine days. Optional tours and extended stay are available. The South Africa trip highlights will include visiting Johannesburg, Soweto, the Stellenbosch winelands, Cape Town, the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Robben Island; a scenic cable car ride up Table Mountain, experiencing game drives in Kruger National
If the fire approaches too rapidly for you to be able to safely evacuate from the area, your home is the safest place for you to seek shelter in which to wait out the fire. The following outlines the safest way to shelter-in-place: ■ Stay indoors and wait for the wildfire-front to pass, usually within 30 minutes. ■ Call your out-of-town emergency contact to let them know you are sheltering-in-place. If phone calls are not going through, try texting or send an email if possible. ■ Shelter in rooms at the opposite end of your home from where the fire is approaching. Stay away from the perimeter walls. ■ If the interior of your home catches fire, go to a neighbor’s home. ■ Once the fire front has passed, thoroughly check your home, yard, roof, attic, etc. for fire. Use a garden hose or fire extinguisher to extinguish any spot fires or smoldering embers. Taber is the public information officer for the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, which includes 4S Ranch.

A No-Brainer BY DON HIGGINSON
‘Why this home and not that?’
T
he recent disasters caused by hurricanes and the Northern California fires remind us of the uncontrollable power that can be unleashed by Mother Nature. Ten years ago this week, fear and destruction invaded Poway and Rancho Bernardo. This is Poway’s story. The Witch Creek fire began at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 21, 2007 in the Witch Creek area east of Ramona. A red flag warning was in effect at the time due to high Santa Ana winds in excess of 60 mph. Five major wildfires were burning in Southern California when the Witch Creek fire broke out. When we learned the fire may enter into the city and an Emergency Operations Center was opened at the City Council Chambers in City Hall. The fire entered Poway at 3:30 a.m. from the Highland Valley Road area. I recall the need to gather a majority of the council so we could declare a “local emergency,” a procedure that included authorizing expenditures of city funds. The first immediate evacuation notice was issued at 4:15 a.m. for the northeast area of Poway
including Bridlewood Country Estates, StoneRidge, Heritage and the Old Winery neighborhoods. At 4:30 a.m. firefighters began fighting fires in multiple areas of Poway. Weather conditions at this time consisted of 80 mph winds and poor visibility. Spot fires were starting a quarter of a mile ahead of the fires advancing front, with the fires and burning homes far exceeding the number of fire engines available. Fire Division Chief Jon Canavan requested 100 fire engines to assist the City of Poway. That request was denied due to the lack of resources. At 8:20 a.m., Pomerado Hospital and the nearby nursing facility were evacuated with the assistance of Poway Unified School District buses. Around 8:30 a.m. my two sons requested that we go to Heritage to check on a few of their friends’ homes. I warned them that we would most likely not be allowed in because that area had been evacuated. When we arrived it was totally vacant with the firefighters and their apparatus having just left to fight fires elsewhere in the city. A few homes had burned to the ground.
CRYSTAL HOYT
My first thought was, “Why this home and not that one?” It seemed so random. As we approached our friends’ home there were some “pods” from a large palm tree that had dropped on the roof and they were burning like charcoal. The boys jumped out, found a hose, extinguished the pods and removed any others from the roof. As we drove out of the neighborhood, we were impervious to the fact a few homes had embers burning in their attic that were not visible to the naked eye. Some of these homes were eventually destroyed. As we returned home we received a reverse 911 call to evacuate the Green Valley area. Having packed the car and left the china and silver in the pool, we traveled with Mayor Mikey Cafagna to a hotel he owned in Carlsbad. Wouldn’t you know it, as we checked in, the hotel received a voluntary order to evacuate.
Tuesday morning the visibility improved, stable winds arrived and firefighters could safely enter some areas that had been very difficult to protect. The fire was contained at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 24 but not before it had burned 7,247 acres and 90 homes in Poway (197,990 acres and 1,256 homes in the county) leaving an undeniable impression in its path. Poway firefighters worked long, dedicated hours. One, a resident of Poway, was so dedicated to not giving up the firefight in his hometown that he refused to stop working even as his eyes swelled shut from the smoke and embers. The Witch Creek fire should be a constant reminder that we must remain ever diligent and better prepared, using the lessons learned from previous natural disasters. Higginson served on the Poway City Council from 1986 to 2014.

Vote ‘yes’ on Measure A
A
s Poway voters consider whether to mark their ballots in favor or opposed to Measure A, the question they should ask is, “Will our city be better off with or without it?” The initiative qualified for the Nov. 7 ballot after supporters gathered the signatures of 5,697 registered voters. It asks voters whether zoning on the southern portion of the StoneRidge Country Club should be changed to allow for the construction of residences. The measure also calls for a special “overlay” zone that would restrict housing to those 55 years and older. County club owner Michael Schlesinger, who says he’s losing money keeping StoneRidge open, wants developer CalAtlantic to build 180 age-restricted high-end condominiums on the southern 25 acres of his property. Preliminary plans call for two-story triplexes and fourplexes. The development would be patterned along the lines of CalAtlantic’s successful Auberge community in Del Sur. Measure A supporters say it’s a good use of the land and note that Schlesinger has signed a legally binding agreement with Poway Open Space, a group of golfers and some surrounding property owners, promising a refurbished golf course and a new clubhouse that would be open to the public. The swimming pool and tennis courts would be removed, but Schlesinger has arranged for usages of similar facilities at the Rancho Arbolitos Swim and Tennis Club, plus $100,000 toward the updating of those facilities. The balance of the golf course would be tied to a deed keeping it open space. The rub comes because Schlesinger is, well, Schlesinger. The Beverly Hills attorney, who has a dubious professional reputation associated with other golf courses he owns, has flatly stated that if Measure A fails, he will soon thereafter fence off and close StoneRidge, allowing the golf course and its facilities to deteriorate. He says he’s not interested in selling. If Measure A passes, it does not mean the condos will be built. Approval would create an opportunity for Schlesinger/CalAtlantic to proceed with the submission of condo plans, which will require a thorough review by city staff and approval (or denial) by the City Council following one or more public hearings. Also remember that the council has the authority to attach conditions to any approval, such as those included in the private agreement between Schlesinger and Poway Open Space. Voters, we think, should take Schlesinger’s threat to close StoneRidge seriously. That would result in 117 acres of dead grass and weeds. The alternative is for voters to vote “yes” on Measure A, then carefully follow the development process and trust their elected City Council in its ability pass judgement. That is the course we recommend.
OUR READERS WRITE Something good for Poway The character of the developer has become too much of a focal point for people who are opposed to Measure A. The decision that we all have to make on Nov. 7 is bigger than one individual. We have a choice to make that will affect the future of our city. Personally, I don’t want to see a wasteland in our community. Dormant properties can lead to an increase in crime, loss in property values citywide and an overall decline in neighborhood and community pride. Measure A gives us the opportunity to do something good for Poway. Passing Measure A helps provide more tax revenue to the city, brings much needed additional housing options for seniors and allows a redesigned golf course and a new restaurant for the entire city to enjoy. These benefits give my family and me something to look forward to. The alternative is not as bright. Try to see past the hyperbolic language of naysayers and conspiracy theorists. Words like “assault” and “deceive” are being used to scare people into voting no. The owner has a right to see value in his investment, and he has agreed to leave Poway with a neighborhood asset in return, one that will benefit everyone in the community, including families like mine in south Poway. If we all focus on the facts and remember the positive things we can accomplish by voting yes, we should all come to the same conclusion. Passing Measure A is the best option for our community. Rob Tendick Poway
Reject Measure A Just after receiving the notification of the special election on Nov. 7, I read Harvey Levine’s column “Freedom from Fear” (not related to Measure A) in which he rejects both hope and fear as bases for rational decision-making. So, when I vote “no” on Measure A it is not out of fear that Michael Schlesinger and his development company “No Stone Left Unturned” - or should it be called "No Tree Left Uncut"? – will follow up on his threat and turn the StoneRidge golf course into a wasteland if the proposition fails. It is also not out of hope, in case it wins, that he won’t come back in a few years and demand rezoning of the rest of the acreage. I’m voting “no” to protect Prop. FF from a vindictive developer whose business plan is to buy failing golf courses and then cajole and threaten city councils and residents into rezoning the properties. He has done this in Las Vegas, Rancho Mirage and Escondido (in the latter two communities, raw manure was dumped on the land to bully the homeowners.) He's already stopped paying the water bill. He doesn’t play nice but, unlike in these other places, he isn’t dealing with just a few city officials to get his way. Here in Poway, because of Prop. FF, he is dealing with thousands of voters. Quoting Mr. Levine: “As enlightened voters, we need to reject the rhetoric, the false promises, the playing to our basest emotions.” Hence, vote “no” on Measure A. Gisela Koestner Poway

This initiative puts us, Powegians, in control over the future of 117 acres in north Poway. The uncertainty of these last few years over the future of the StoneRidge Country Club has put a strain on our community. StoneRidge has been a focal point of our community since the 1960s, and is a point of pride for so many of us in Poway. A group of concerned citizens spent over a year negotiating with the property owner to put together a win-win solution that keeps StoneRidge open, and open to the public. It is common knowledge there is a huge distrust of the property owner. In fact, that is the reason our group, Poway Open Space, exists. Two years ago, the owner was set to close StoneRidge immediately and propose building on the entire 117 acres. Because a group of neighbors stepped up to demand responsible development, we have an initiative that keeps StoneRidge open and caps development to just 25 of the 117 acres for homes for 55-plus active adults. Here are a few examples of the positives that come with passing Measure A: • It increases property values. • It provides a benefit to the Poway Unified School District. The residences allowed by Measure A are restricted to people age 55 and over, so there will be no impact to class sizes and pick-up/drop off–traffic, yet tax revenue from these new residences would still benefit PUSD. • It provides a brand new public multi-purpose facility along with a new restaurant and bar with indoor/outdoor dining. Historically, StoneRidge has been a private club that is only open to the public for special events. The new facilities will be open to all Poway families for the first time. This is an opportunity for us to help bring another community destination to Poway. • It reduces water consumption, eliminates a water wasting, antiquated irrigation system and reconstructs an 18-hole golf course so new generations of Poway youth can continue to make
W
lifetime memories at StoneRidge, like our son, professional golfer Charley Hoffman. • It permanently restricts 92 acres from any other use than golf. Homeowners will retain property values and Poway won’t be left with a community eyesore. Unfortunately, the consequences of Measure A failing are not pleasant. The economic impacts would be immediate, and homeowners all over the city could be affected due to the ripple effect of sudden property value loss. There are examples of golf courses all over the United States that have closed and caused catastrophic impacts to local economies. In Escondido, the community has been dealing with vagrancy, blight and increased crime in their neighborhood since their golf course shuttered. Escondido residents have created a group that is advocating for the addition of nearly 400 homes on the former course, and that is a best-case scenario. Voting No on Measure A could eventually put Powegians in the same boat. Simply put, a “no” vote on Measure A is incredibly short-sighted. Is it worth “beating” the property owner if it means a loss in property values for thousands? Is it worth being able to say, “we won,” if in a few years we know that this property larger than the San Diego Zoo will be left to sit fallow and inaccessible to the people of Poway? We hope that the answer is an obvious no. Character of the owner aside, the future of StoneRidge has been put into our hands. Measure A is a great plan for Poway. It is not a shoddy plan thrown together by a greedy developer. It was put on the ballot after over a year of hard work, community input and tough negotiation by a group of community members who care deeply about Poway and its future. So we encourage you to do some research of your own. Look at the facts and think about the effect your vote could have on our city. Avoid the exaggerated arguments and scare tactics of people who want to focus on hypotheticals. Let’s vote for what we know and vote “yes” on Measure A! The Hoffmans are members of Poway Open Space.
FROM LETTERS, A18
A is ‘reasonable and fair’ We are fairly new to the Poway area and love the feel and friendship found around StoneRidge Country Club and homes. As my wife and I have just recently retired, we decided to renovate a home on the golf course as our dream retirement home. We have reviewed Measure A and the other options, and realize there are a lot people concerned that Mr. Schlesinger is only in this project for the money and cannot be trusted. I have been an executive in several Fortune 500 companies and negotiated multi-million dollar deals frequently. For a deal to be good, it must be a win/win for both sides. He is a businessman and deserves to make money on his investments, but he also needs to reciprocate so those in the StoneRidge
Keep Poway the ‘City in the Country’ BY ANNA KANA t first glance, the Poway Open Space group promoting Measure A in November seems to be making an offer that no one should refuse. Who doesn’t want to protect open space or provide additional housing to those over 55? It’s only upon closer examination that many of the arguments in favor of Measure A become problematic at best, and completely deceptive at worst. Let’s start with the basics – the name. Poway Open Space. Their proposal is to allow the owner, Michael Schlesinger, to build 180 condos on the StoneRidge golf course. By any measure, it is difficult to interpret how the building of 180 condos preserves open space. On their website, POS’ goal is to “Preserve Poway Open Space: Permanent & Protected.” If that is truly their goal, then their mission could not be easier to achieve. Simply do nothing. They don’t need to spend a dollar on a political campaign or even have a vote. Proposition FF, passed by Poway voters in 1988, ensures that open space cannot be re-zoned unless a majority of Poway residents approve it. The bottom line is: if nothing is done, the land in question will forever remain “Permanent & Protected.” POS’ “intent” to preserve open space and not disclose that there are already safeguards in place with that exact purpose follows a pattern of what one could call “What They Fail To Mention” (WTFTM) in many of their arguments. Other examples: Example #1: In one of POS’s mailers to Poway voters, they state that “Measure A would help bring a redesigned, 18-hole golf course with state-of-the-art water saving technology.” WTFTM: In the official ballot for Measure A, there is no promise of any golf course to be developed. Not a single word. Measure A does not ensure that the property remain a golf course, much less one that uses “state-of-the-art water saving technology.” POS members will note that there is a private agreement between POS and the developer to maintain a golf course and clubhouse, but it is simply an agreement between two private LLCs, and is not something that can be enforced by the City of Poway. Example #2: On the POS website, Dale Long, a member of POS says their efforts began over a year ago “to hold the property owner accountable
A
area also benefit from the deal. This Measure A is a reasonable and fair deal, will help to keep the area appreciating and keep the golf course in better shape than it has been for years. If Measure A is voted down, and the course is closed, the area residents will eventually want to help remove the eyesore and likely will have to give up more than allowing only 180 condos to be built. I strongly recommend we accept the measure and vote “yes” on A to save the wonderful course and great area we have grown to love. Paul Latchford Poway
What happened to our city? As a Poway resident of 41 years, I’ve seen the fields adjacent
and to make sure the majority of the property remains permanent open space.” WTFTM: Their campaign arm, the “Poway Open Space Ballot Measure Committee” was paid at least $244,000 by the developer himself. The question then is how POS can ever hold the developer accountable if he decides not to abide by their private agreement when nearly POS’s entire budget comes from contributions from that same developer? Is this not a conflict of interest? Example #3: In the private agreement between the owner of StoneRidge and POS, they propose that a deed restriction be submitted for the remaining portion of StoneRidge after construction is complete to protect it from further development. WTFTM: Setting aside the conflict-of-interest issues raised earlier, why would the deed restrictions be put in place after all the development is complete? From planning, approval and construction, development could take four to five years. WTFTM is whether their membership, who are primarily homeowners on the course intent on preserving their views, can guarantee that POS will still exist once construction is finished. Will they have the funding to challenge the developer? Will any of the members move? Will POS stay in place in perpetuity? A quick online search for Michael Schlesinger and his activities at other golf courses (San Ramon Golf Course, Escondido Country Club and Silverstone Golf Club) suggest a track record that should concern all Poway residents. With Senate Bill 35 set to be implemented throughout California, Measure A could very well lead to an additional 35 percent more density than what is currently proposed. The only certainty to keep control of Poway’s future is to vote NO on Measure A. Measure A is a bad deal for Poway. It gives away valuable development rights with no other committed benefit to the city. Let’s ensure that any development in Poway be properly planned with respect to traffic, air pollution, noise pollution, demographic changes, public safety and access to city services. We are all a part of the “City in the Country.” Let’s work together to keep it that way. On Nov. 7, please vote “no” on Measure A. Ann Kana is a StoneRidge homeowner since 2012 and StoneRidge golfer since 2002. She’s been opposing Measure A through ProtectPoway.com.
to Poway Road disappear and be replaced by buildings, shopping centers, car dealerships and concrete. The open space surrounding the Garden Road hills area, once filled with coyotes, deer and wildlife, have been replaced by the whining sounds of tires of vehicles traveling on Scripps Poway Parkway. The house windows we used to keep open stay closed because of the vehicle pollution. What happened to “The City in the Country?” It only exists north of Twin Peaks Road. Our fearless City Council now wants to pass changes to the Poway Road Specific Plan to become even more congested. That is just insane. I absolutely agree with the Oct. 5 commentaries by Lynette Perkes and Rochelle Melone. It seems the City Council is trying to push its initiative of Poway Road before the people south of Twin Peaks have any true representation until 2020. This brings up Measure A, the so-called open space initiative. SEE LETTERS, A20

FROM LETTERS, A19 That’s where affordable housing should be. Let the people north of Twin Peaks Road experience what we in the south side have tolerated for years – more signal lights, more traffic, more buildings, more pollution and more concrete. I invite everyone south of Twin Peaks Road to vote for Measure A as political retribution. We should vote like they do; if it doesn’t affect us – why care? Why go to City Council meetings when the members have already made up their minds? Thomas Grela Poway
support without the threats and bullying we and other communities have experienced, and then delivered on his promises. If I were on the “yes” side of this issue, I would be anxious to show this developer’s positive performance. I’ve not seen any of this evidence. I can’t find any. That in itself should be a warning that this developer should not be trusted. Passing Measure A puts the control of development in the hands of our city council. Voting down Measure A keeps the control of development in the hands of Poway voters. Phil Kissling Poway
Promise easily broken
No to the strident voices
Contrary to the rhetoric from Poway Open Space and the pro-A organizations, approval of Measure A does not ensure 92 acres at Stoneridge will remain open space. The only assurance Poway will have, if Measure A is approved, is 77 acres will be zoned RC, with nothing but an easily-broken promise to register a deed restriction “upon completion of construction.” There is nothing in the agreement between Poway Open Space and the developer that defines what “completion of construction” means. Is that when the condos are ready for occupancy? When they are all sold? Or, is it when the developer has gone back to the City Council to add to the development for the final time? If there is one thing that has bothered me during this entire process, it is the lack of evidence that this developer has ever gone into a community, asked for property owner’s support of development, obtained that
First a thank you to all who have already voted “yes” on Measure A, and who plan to do so. For more than 30 years, my family has enjoyed the open space of StoneRidge. As Poway residents, we’d hate to see this open space become blighted and fenced. We’re sorry to see how the discourse has deteriorated. A couple of weeks ago we attended a meeting at the StoneRidge clubhouse that offered to share information about the project. The voices of opposition tried to drown out the presenters and the questions from those who favor Measure A. We were surprised by the shear rudeness! The same strident voices appear in some of the recent letters to your publication and in emails, which are long on hyperbole and exaggeration and short on facts or constructive suggestions, to the NextDoor blog. The opposition signs suggest only that we should worry about increased traffic (the
only credible study says less than 1 percent effect on Espola Road traffic) and that somehow a connection with Beverly Hills is a negative. Please reject the strident voices, vote “yes” on Measure A and keep as much as possible of this open space green for all of Poway to enjoy. Graham Stubbs Poway
Won’t help create blight The voters of Poway have a unique opportunity to see into the future. It is possible to see what the StoneRidge golf course will look like if Measure A does not pass, by driving past the old Escondido Country Club property, along West Country Club Lane. After three years of fighting over how many houses the neighbors didn’t want built, the entire golf course is dead and the weeds are high. Palm trees and pine trees have died and the whole area is blocked off by chain link fence. It is ugly and a frightening fire hazard. This is what happened the last time Michael Schlesinger was not allowed to develop golf property he owns. He has promised to do it again. Blackmail? Yes. But I’m not willing to have a hand in creating this dangerous blight, and the resulting impact on property values, in north Poway. Jan Hamilton Poway
An ironic name The money that StoneRidge Country Club
owner Michael Schlesinger and Poway Open Space have spent on this measure is astonishing. They have flooded the residents of Poway with expensive mail pieces confusing the real issue by stressing preserve and protect. I think Poway Open Space name is ironic. They have violated the basic definition of open space by supporting to build the condos on the land already zoned as open space. They are approving to increase the traffic significantly on Espola Road, Ranch Bernardo Road and nearby streets. This condo development will create a significant noise pollution situation for years to come. Most important, the condo development will create a serious safety issue in the event evacuation is required due to fire. As a concerned resident of Poway I encourage a “no” vote on Measure A and, with time running out, to spread this message to all of your fellow Poway friends that truly want to keep our “City in the Country” by preserving and protecting our open space. Ray Jalisi Poway
Keep the open space Measure A, written by StoneRidge owner Michael Schlesinger (of Escondido manure fame), was put on the ballot by StoneRidge golfers desperate to save their country club. heir organization, “Save Stoneridge,”changed names to “Poway Open Space” to deliberately deceive the public on the true nature of Measure A. The only thing Measure A does is rezone 77 acres from open space to residential. Nothing in the measure preserves any open space or the SEE LETTERS, A21

FROM LETTERS, A20 country club. Yes on A claims to have a private agreement that “protects” the open space, but it's just details about the golf amenities they want. Their agreement to record a “conservation easement” is not enforceable by the public or the city. Since POS' major source of funding is the developer, they don't have the means to enforce this private agreement. It's naïve to rely on Schlesinger’s “word” considering his litigious nature, history of shady dealings and huge financial upside on this deal. If the golf course isn't viable, it will close whether or not we allow condos to be built. When it closes, is it better to be zoned open space or residential? As a nation, we don't negotiate with terrorists, and neither should the people of Poway. Vote “no” A and keep all the open space zoned open space. Nathan Miller Poway
New clubhouse needed StoneRidge is an important part of the community that would be an absolute shame to lose, and we have an opportunity to not only save it, but improve it. Since moving to Poway recently, my husband and I have been looking for a place to relax and spend time together when we get a spare minute. Passing Measure A will provide a brand new clubhouse that will give us and families like ours a unique place to spend time outside of the traditional chain restaurants that have always been the norm in Poway. We’re also looking forward to raising our daughter here in Poway. As a teacher and mom, the schools here in Poway were a big draw for me. Measure A will provide the already prestigious Poway Unified School District with even more resources to improve its quality, all without affecting the size of the individual schools. These are just two of the reasons we’ll be

It will take thousands of Poway voters to approve Measure A, which will change zoning to allow 180 residential units in north Poway. It will take just three votes of our City Council to approve changes to the Poway Road Specific Plan, a proposal which will bring 1,148 residential units and approximately 3,000 new residents to south Poway, along with their automobiles. It took just three votes for the council to defeat a minuscule 22-unit project that would have given our deserving veterans an opportunity to acquire an affordable home in a decent north Poway neighborhood, where their children would have been able to walk to some of the best schools in our nation. At the time the mayor implied he was working with a developer to get a better deal at a different location. It has been a year so I suppose the vets have been put on the mayor’s back burner with the Poway Road plan update having all priority. Wouldn’t the defeat of Measure A be a clear mandate to the council that the majority of Poway residents are not willing to make the “City in the Country” just a memory and will not support the morphing of Poway Road into the “Las Poway Strip”? We are not willing to make south Poway just another Hillcrest or Mira Mesa. Might as well just annex to the City of San Diego. For full disclosure, I live in north Poway. Tom Yarnall Poway (Editor’s note: If the proposed changes to the specific plan are approved, the addition of up to 1,148 residential units would represent a decrease from the 2,000-plus of residential units currently allowed.)

Broncos improving playoff chances Poway faces undefeated Ramona at home BY TERRY MONAHAN Rancho Bernardo probably won’t win the Palomar League championship this year thanks to a 28-0 loss to league-leading Ramona earlier in the regular season. But the Broncos have a chance to improve their playoff outlook in the final two weeks, at Del Norte on Friday and next week at home against Poway on Senior Night. Three wins in the last four games, after an 0-4 start, have the Broncos optimistic about the postseason after last week’s 31-21 win over Westview. Ramona (8-0, 4-0) brings its high-powered offense the Bulldogs average 37.2 points a game - to Poway. Maranatha Christian can take a giant step toward winning the Pacific League title by beating winless Escondido Charter on Saturday. Here is a closer look at this week’s games: Rancho Bernardo (3-5, 3-1) at Del Norte (1-7, 0-4), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Rancho Bernardo beat Westview 31-21; Del Norte lost to Mt. Carmel 28-20. Notes: Rancho Bernardo, which has won the last three meetings against the Nighthawks, leads the series 5-2. The Broncos have outscored opponents 97-28 in the last four weeks. Sophomore QB Noah Morris now directs the offense, going 33-for-70 passing for 430 yards and three TDs after passing for 190 yards last week. RB Tahj Martin leads the team in rushing with 87 carries for 483 yards while WR Malcolm Ross-Turner tops the receivers with 24 catches for 326 yards and three TDs. The Broncos’ defense played well last week with LB Luke Manos’ 15-yard interception return for a TD in the third quarter giving the Broncos the lead for good against Westview. Del Norte has lost six straight games thanks
to scoring just 70 points this year while giving up 317 points. Five Del Norte quarterbacks have combined for 979 yards and two TDs but also 14 interceptions. Prediction: Rancho Bernardo 35, Del Norte 14 No. 3 Ramona (8-0, 5-0) at Poway (3-5, 2-2), Friday at 7 p.m. Last week: Ramona beat Rancho Buena Vista 49-17; Poway lost to Vista 21-7. Notes: Poway leads the series 17-7, winning 11 straight games at one point. Poway needed a win last week to stay on track for next week’s game against Ramona, but the offense faltered against Vista. That loss may also have damaged the Titans’ playoff hopes as well. Ramona, with a 298-80 advantage in scoring this year, is led by QB Casey Buggeln, who needs 69 yards for 1,000 yards and has 10 TDs but no interceptions, and RB Tristan Stacy, who has 766 total yards and 12 TDs. Prediction: Ramona 38, Poway 21 Maranatha Christian (5-2, 2-0) vs. Escondido Charter (0-8, 0-2), Saturday at 7 p.m. at Orange Glen Last week: Maranatha Christian beat Tri-City Christian 26-20; Escondido Charter had a bye. Notes: This is the first meeting. Maranatha Christian has its fate in its own hands as the Eagles take aim at winning their first Pacific League championship. With two straight wins, Maranatha is in charge of the league race by averaging 343 total yards a game ---- 167 passing and 176 rushing. QB Nick Glenn surpassed 1,000 passing yards last week. Prediction: Maranatha Christian 42, Escondido Charter 12
BY TERRY MONAHAN Poway High lost its No. 1 singles player in girls tennis before this season to an injury. Rancho Bernardo lost its No. 1 singles player before the season began as well. Not to be outdone, Del Norte’s No. 1 singles player is also not playing this year, but for a very different reason. Reina Chu, a Del Norte senior, chose to leave school, and her spot on the tennis team, to spend her senior year at a boarding school in Scotland, recommended by her Uncle Mo. The 5-foot-6 Chu is attending Gordonstoun School, which opened in 1934 in northern Scotland in Elgin. The school has approximately 500 boarders and another 100 day students. Listed among the school’s graduates are the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales. “She’s lived at home for 17 years, so maybe it was time for her to learn how to start making the right decisions on her own,’’ said dad Jackson Chu, who is also the JV tennis coach at Del Norte. “Hopefully, college will be easier to navigate for her starting next year because this is a life-changing experience for her.’’ Reina Chu learned about Gordonstoun from hearing stories of Uncle Mo’s time there in the 1960s, according to her. “He would always go off about his high school days there and, honestly, it didn’t sound like such a bad idea for me,’’ Chu said. But going to Gordonstoun meant giving up her senior year of tennis with the Nighthawks. SEE TENNIS, B3

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
PHS sophomore ‘running at another level’ Missed frosh year hasn’t hampered Barranco BY TERRY MONAHAN Freshman year in high school is always fraught with plenty of distractions and total confusion. Alejandro Barranco, now a sophomore at Poway High, found out all about the woes of being a freshman last year. He wanted to run cross country last fall but signed up too late, so he joined the marching band at Poway instead. But by the time track season rolled around in the spring, Barranco’s weight was at 156 pounds, far more than he would have liked. The results showed. “Not running cross country got me out of shape for track,’’ he said. “It got much better as the season went on. “It was pretty humbling trying to run in track at that weight. I found out it wasn’t going to be easy and that I had to work at it.’’ Now back down to a more comfortable 128 pounds,
Barranco is finally out for cross country and has emerged as the Titans’ No. 1 runner, sharing that honor with teammate Zak Beckwith, the top Poway finisher at the recent Clovis Invitational. “Alejandro is one of the best sophomores in the state,’’ Poway coach Bruce Jackson said. “He’s having a way good year so far. It’s a little surprising because he’s made just a big leap after a respectable track season. He’s been running at another level.’’ The 5-foot-7 Barranco began his running career in middle school before last season’s year off from cross country. Jackson noted that after losing the top seven runners off last year’s San Diego Section Division II championship team his very talented sophomore class has kept the Titans in contention once again. “He’s running the exact same times that Jarett Chinn did last year for us,’’ Jackson said. “Alejandro won’t out-kick
tunein tunein
you at the end. He’ll just out-grind you over the whole race.’’ Barranco broke Chinn’s school record during time trials this fall. He finished second in the race at Laguna Hills and placed sixth at Woodbridge just three seconds off the school record. At the Clovis Invitational on Oct. 7, Barranco ran in the Open Division as an individual and wound up 43rd. His time of 15-minutes, 47-seconds was just three seconds off Chinn’s time from last year’s state meet on the same Woodward Park course. “It’s going well so far,’’ said Barranco, who actually took the lead at the mile-mark of the 5K race at Cloivis. “I’ve been surprised by the improvement since track season. “I didn’t expect so much so soon. I certainly wasn’t expecting what’s going on.’’ Maybe it’s all the doubters who thought the Titans would fall way back in the pack with a

completely new roster. “Lots of people doubted Poway,’’ Barranco said. “That has been our motivation, having so many people look down on us. “Coach has said he’s heard that from a lot of other coaches too.’’ When he’s not in class or out running the countryside near campus or enjoying a meal with his family - Souplantation is his favorite - Barranco finds solace in playing his trumpet. “Running takes way more effort,’’ he said, “but the trumpet takes much more mental work. The trumpet is a difficult instrument to play until you get it down. Kind of like running. Once you figure out how to run as a team, it’s much easier to see better results, both as a team and as an individual.’’ Having missed that first cross country season at Poway is still his biggest regret. “I might be more fearless now than I am,’’ Barranco said. “I think about last year and everything that happened gave me a strong mind to push on. “The lessons I needed to learn were learned. They were hard lessons, but I got the message.’’ Sometimes, that’s all you can hope to get out of freshman year.

I miss the team. Right now I’d be competing with them. I haven’t even played much at all since I got here.’’ While her teammates asked her not to go, Chu felt the need to try something completely new. “It feels like I’m in college,’’ she said. “I have a lot more freedom and that took some getting used to. Time management is the biggest thing to learn. I’m learning how to be aware of everything I’m doing from classes and homework to activities.’’ Chu said she’s already been sailing on the North Sea. She’s also gone camping. “I’ve never done camping,’’ Chu added. “I’ve gotten sea sick on cruises before. I fell into the river on the camping trip. Just slid right down the bank. The water was really cold.’’ Chu has taken up learning how to play field

hockey at Gordonstoun. She said she’s not very good yet. “It’s so interesting to start so many new things,’’ Chu said. “To go from being the best in a sport to being the worst is a hard thing. I also got hit on the leg by my buddy’s stick. I never got hit that hard playing tennis.’’ She’s also planning to take advantage of some of the other school activities like skiing, kayaking and mountain rescue before the year is out. Chu, the only student from California at the school, is planning to return home for Christmas break. There is also a three-week spring break in April. It will also give her a chance to check on Sustain the Earth, an environmental journalism club she started at Del Norte and passed on the reigns when she left. “It will be nice to get home and see my friends and family,’’ Chu said. “Scotland has some areas that look just like postcards with all the greenery everywhere. “I expected it to rain every day since we’re so far north. I’ll say the weather is a bit unpredictable.’’ As unpredictable as accepting an adventure overseas for senior year.

‘On Golden Pond’ opens Friday at Welk BY EMILY SORENSEN Take a trip to Golden Pond with Broadway Theater’s final show at Welk Resort Theater. Broadway Theater is reviving its successful run of “On Golden Pond” for its final bow on the Welk’s stage. The show opens Friday and runs through Sunday, Nov. 5 at the Welk Resort Theater, 8860 Lawrence Welk Drive in Escondido. The Welk Resort Theater is closing for renovations following its production of “A Christmas Carol.” The theater will close on Dec. 31 and will remain shuttered for much of 2018 before reopening in the fall. Randall Hickman, the show’s director and co-owner of Broadway Theater, said that he and his fellow owner, Douglas Davis, have produced shows on the Welk’s stage for five years and are “very sad” to see it ending. “We had such a great time over there,” he said. “It’s all kinds of bittersweet.” While the Welk Resort Theater will continue producing live musical theater after reopening, Hickman said he doesn’t know if Broadway Theater will be able to continue producing shows at the theater. “Who knows what will happen, but we’re very excited to move on to the next chapter.” Broadway Theater originally produced “On Golden Pond” in January on its own stage in Vista. The show was a success,

The cast of "On Golden Pond" Hickman said, and inspired them to revive the production, with its same cast, for the theater’s final show at the Welk. “On Golden Pond” is the story of an elderly couple, Norman and Ethel Thayer,
Join Us for a Season of One-Night-Only Performances
who, every summer, move into their small cabin located on Golden Pond. While Ethel is vivacious and full of life, Norman has become morose and seems to have given up on life.
Their estranged daughter, Chelsea, visits with her fiancé, Billy Ray Sr., and 13-year-old son, Billy Ray Jr. Ethel convinces them to let the boy stay with them for the summer, leading to Norman and Billy Ray Jr. to bond and give each other a reason to get up in the morning. The cast features Lou Slocum as Norman Thayer, Marilyn Wolfe as Ethel Thayer, Holly MacDonald as Chelsea Thayer, Torre Younghans as Billy Ray Sr., Douglas Davis as Charlie and Reese Castin as Billy Ray Jr. Hickman praised the cast as “phenomenal,” saying Slocum and Wolfe as Norman and Ethel are “chemistry personified.” Hickman said that despite it being over seven months since the cast performed the show together, they all remembered still knew their lines, marks and props. “They barely had to rehearse.” “On Golden Pond” was made into a successful film in 1981 starring Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda and Dabney Coleman. Though adapted from the 1979 stage play, the film has a sadder theme to it than the play does, said Hickman. “People remember (the movie) as being so sad. I think (the story) plays better on stage, but you can’t beat the performances in the movie.” Tickets are $41 and are available by calling the box office at 888-802-7469.

Good-Natured Gardening BY CLARENCE SCHMIDT
It’s no laughing matter
Y
ou will not get a rash of good luck if you cross a four leaf clover with poison ivy. Pumpkin pie is not what you get when you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter. To germinate does not mean to become a naturalized German. Having a poor sense of humor such as this can reflect one’s personality, and one’s garden too. Sometimes, gardening can be a blooming joke. However, if you can’t laugh at yourself, others will do it for you. The remedy: Niacin. Vitamin B3 depletion is the sole cause of a bad sense of humor. Actually, I just made that up. Having a yard or garden that’s a national embarrassment is no laughing matter. Well, I guess it really could be. Here’s some help that might, or might not, keep your name out of the local news: 1. Diseases Symptoms: Black spot, yellowing leaves,
fungus, root rot. Remedies: Water the base of a plant in the morning, so that splashed leaves have time to dry off. Use a dormant spray of lime sulfur. Neem oil and organic sprays containing potassium bicarbonate also help. Clean up around the plant. Remove all infected leaves. 2. Plants are getting too much water Symptoms: Straggly plants. Leaves are wilted. Soil has mold. Root rot. Ground is waterlogged. Remedies: Soil determines how well everything will grow. Follow the plant’s care instructions to see how much water it needs. If in doubt, water only a little, but often. Add sand to improve drainage. 3. Plants are not getting enough water Symptoms: Leaves are burnt, curled, brittle or crispy. Soil in garden has cracks. Remedies: Water more. Add mulch to help
plants conserve water. Set up a small irrigation system to water for you at regular intervals. Mix clay or more soil into your garden to improve its ability to hold water. 4. Not rotating plants Symptoms: Crop production is lower this season versus last season. You are having more problems with pests and disease. Plants seem to struggle to thrive. Remedies: Don’t plant the same annuals in the same beds year after year. Rotate crops every year by type – legumes, roots, leafy greens, fruits, etc. Fertilize to add nutrients back. 5. Over-fertilization Symptoms: Like with overwatering, plant will be wilted. Fertilizer-burned plant leaves will have the same burnt look of plants that have not been watered enough. Soil has a whitish, salty crust. Remedies: Flood the garden bed with water to push the fertilizer deep into the soil. 6. Under-fertilization Symptoms: Plants appear weak. Leaves are mottled, limp or brownish in color. Remedies: Check the soil’s pH levels. Add compost. Use an organic fertilizer. 7. Insects and animal pests Symptoms: Bite marks taken out of leaves. Obvious sign of animals getting in …footprints, excrement, etc. Remedies: Plant marigolds to ward off rabbits. Set up fencing around your garden. Hire those guys who built the Great Wall of China. Buy organic deterrents for other pests. If you have gophers, build a raised bed. Use
Neem oil, a soapy water solution or an organic pesticide. 8. Plants are getting too much sun Symptoms: Leaves look burnt, parched, brittle and break easily. Remedies: Use shade cloth or relocate the plants. Plant fast-growing trees and shrubs around the garden. 9. Plants are getting too little sun Symptoms: Leaves are losing their luster and turning yellow or mottled. Leaves are falling off plant and growth seems stunted. Plants looking spindly with a lot of space between leaves. Remedies: Move plants to a sunny location. Cut down trees and bushes to allow in more sunshine. 10. Yard looks boring Symptoms: Messy and colorless, dull and uninspired yard design. Overcrowded plants. Remedies: Dig it all out (gulp) and start again. Replant the same plants, but fewer of them. Relocate plants to other areas of your yard. Thin out some of the less desirable or less attractive plants. Get some ideas from your friends, Romans and nurserymen. Going bolder can draw the attention and respect of your neighbors. Change the color scheme for your yard. Try red, white and blue instead of aqua and taupe. Buy plants with interesting shapes or fragrance. Grow plants of varying heights. Paint your fence. Move. If life deals you lemons, make lemonade. If it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys. Schmidt is a Poway resident with over 40 years of gardening experience.

Five facts about breast cancer screening
A
sk any of your friends or relatives if they know someone who has had breast cancer, and the answer will most likely be “yes.” Women in the United States have a 1-in-8 chance of developing breast cancer at some point in their lifetime; every year, more than 200,000 women learn that they have it. Except for skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Fortunately, when detected early, it is also one of the most treatable. Generally, the earlier breast cancer is detected and treated, the easier and more successful the treatment. According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year relative survival rate for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer –the earliest stages of the disease – is close to 100 percent. For women with stage II breast cancer, the five-year relative survival rate is about 93 percent. 1. Mammograms can mean early detection and more successful treatment. That’s why annual screening mammograms, which look for changes in the breasts of women who do not have clinical signs of breast cancer, are so important. “Annual screening mammograms can detect breast cancer at very early stages, before a patient or clinician can even feel a lump. The earlier the detection, the higher the chance of cure,” said Rebecca Hsu, M.D., a diagnostic radiologist with the Emily Fenton Hunte Breast Care Center at Scripps Green Hospital. Yearly screening mammograms play a major role in helping women who have breast cancer successfully fight the disease. The American Cancer Society reports that breast cancer death rates among women dropped 39 percent from
ADOBE STOCK
1989 to 2015, in part because of improved screening and early detection. 2. Breast cancer screening is important even if you don’t have risk factors. Most women who develop breast cancer don’t have known risk factors. Nearly 75 percent of breast cancer patients have no family history of the disease and no known gene mutations or other risk factors. In the United States, women of average risk have a 12 percent chance of developing breast cancer; if you have risk factors, your risk may be even higher. Breast cancer screening exams help find breast cancer at an early stage. When found early, the chances for successfully treating the disease are greatest. Along with regular exams, practice awareness. This means you should stay familiar with your breasts. That way you’ll notice changes, like a new lump or mass. Then, report them to your doctor without delay. 3. Screening recommendations depend on several factors. Breast cancer screening exams help find breast
cancer at an early stage. When found early, the chances for successfully treating the disease are greatest. Along with regular exams, practice awareness. This means you should stay familiar with your breasts. That way you’ll notice changes, like a new lump or mass. Then, report them to your doctor without delay. The screening recommendations below apply to most women. Age 20 to 39 - Clinical breast exam every one to three years with a health care provider who checks for lumps or other changes. Age 40 and older - Clinical breast exam every year - Mammogram every year Women at increased risk Women at increased risk have a higher chance of getting breast cancer. This doesn’t mean you will definitely get cancer. But, you may need to start screening at an earlier age, get additional tests or be tested more often. You’re at increased risk for breast cancer if you fall under one or more of these groups. - History of radiation treatment to the chest - Genetic mutation, including an abnormality in the BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 genes, CDH1, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba Syndrome - History of lobular carcinoma in situ. - Five-year risk of breast cancer 1.7 percent or greater at age 35 or older, as defined by a Gail Model calculation. Calculate your risk using the Gail Model. - A life-time risk of breast cancer 20 percent or greater, as defined by models dependent on family history. Women with a strong family history of breast cancer should consider
speaking with a genetic counselor.4. Mammograms are safe. Mammograms do use very low doses of radiation to screen the breast tissue, but the benefits of screening outweigh any possible risks from radiation exposure. “Most breast imaging departments, including those at Scripps, use digital mammography which has replaced conventional film-screen mammography. Digital mammography offers better quality with less radiation,” said Dr. Hsu. “Many facilities, including some at Scripps, also offer tomosynthesis (or 3D mammography) which often decreases the need for additional imaging and may be beneficial in patients with dense breast tissue.” During a mammogram, the breast is compressed between two plates before being X-rayed. The breast tissue must be as flat as possible in order to get a precise X-ray. Some women may find the compression uncomfortable. Let your mammography technician know if the position you’re in is painful; she may be able to change it or decrease the pressure a bit. 5. Mammograms are affordable – or even free. If you have health insurance under the Affordable Care Act and are age 40 or older, your annual mammogram is fully covered by your plan, even if you haven’t met your deductible. If you don’t have insurance, several national breast cancer organizations sponsor low-cost or free mammogram programs eligible women. Staff at Scripps Health can provide you with contact information for programs in your area. In addition, Scripps and many other breast care centers will set up a payment plan if you need it. “Healthy Life” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps Health.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG
Was this death necessary?
A
local bistro has closed its doors. During the past 18 months, this café provided a fine dining experience with European décor and wonderful food. They even installed a delightful French bakery, and should have been able to make a go of it. Yet despite good reviews on Google and YELP, 18 months of hard work and investment are gone. Significant traffic drives hourly through their shopping center and the major intersection at which this restaurant lived, so it’s not the location. Especially when considering another restaurant lived at that site for 24 years. Considering their lack of community presence, though, I’m not terribly shocked at the demise. Never did I see a coupon, print ad, or postcard. No social media links trailed me, nor did reminders of their existence pop up on Pandora. I can’t remember bumping into the owners at Chamber of Commerce networking events, never heard them speak at my Rotary Club and didn’t see them at “Taste of Poway.” Unicorn Jewelry’s Fred Nasseri reminds me people buy from those who invest in the community. This establishment’s owners apparently missed that memo. Admittedly, need for family time or an investor’s ill health may have prompted the closing. However, my money’s on the lack of
marketing. People do business with those they know, like and trust. Whether you’re selling home repairs or croissants, customers must feel comfortable with you before they’ll buy from you. Had there been a reception introducing this restaurant to the local business community, their fortunes might have gone better. If they’d hired a community representative, struck partnerships with the area businesses, or just been more visible … they’d probably have triumphed. I figure they focused on day-to-day challenges associated with running any business. Yet they ignored a simple fact; though they were the only restaurant in that shopping center, countless others within five miles beckoned. And they didn’t differentiate themselves enough. Building a business in a small community is about more than dollars and cents. It’s about becoming an integral part of the local fabric. But from these folks we never felt love, and saw little reason to make dinner reservations. Still, I wish the owners well in their next venture. They’ve undoubtedly learned a costly lesson toward building future successes. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Babinski said that the smaller number of Kisco Senior Living’s communities means that the owner is very hands on, visiting each community a few times a year to meet with residents and staff for feedback.

It’s a family in so many senses of the word. It’s very family-like, very warm.” Visitors to the community have spoken to Babinski, she said, complementing the community on its warm atmosphere. “I’ve had people personally tell me that they’ve been to 15 or 20 other (senior living) communities and ours is the most homelike

Forecast: Calif. home prices will continue to rise in 2018 BY PHILLIP MOLNAR Home prices in California will continue to increase next year, but at a slower pace, said a forecast released Oct. 19 by the California Association of Realtors. The median price of a home is expected to rise 4.2 percent in 2018 to $561,000, less than the expected 7 percent increase this year. While the forecast from the Realtor group did not include specific San Diego County estimates, researchers said the figures should be similar to the state total because Southern California represents the state’s biggest housing market. Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist for the organization, said a lack of homes for sale — because of construction not keeping pace and other factors — would keep home prices rising for the next three to five years. But, she said affordability constraints stop the increases from rising higher because of the gap between income increases and home prices. “The slower income growth is really hampering the ability of first-time buyers to get into the market,” Appleton-Young said in a presentation at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina as part of the annual CAR Expo. She predicted statewide affordability would drop to 26 percent, down from 51 percent in 2012 when the recession was still having a significant effect. The association measures affordability by checking if the monthly housing payment does not exceed 30 percent of gross monthly income. Appleton-Young said sales of homes have stayed at about the same level for years —

which doesn’t make a ton of sense if you consider substantial job growth and historically low mortgage interest rates. But, fewer homes and increasing prices have stopped sales from picking up. Sales are predicted to increase by 1 percent, down from the expected 1.3 percent increase this year, she said. In the next few years, California’s population will grow — up to an estimated 40 million people in 2018 from 39.4 million in 2016 — and so the need for more housing will increase, too. But, that doesn’t mean the state isn’t losing some important people. “You’re seeing an exodus of younger people from California,” she said. “Because they can’t afford to buy. It’s starting to hamper the ability of tech companies leading the charge with job growth.” International buyers are expected to continue to be interested in California in the

The lack of new homes for sale is expected to be a key factor in the predicted rise of the median price of a home in San Diego County. coming years, officials at the Realtor organization said, because prices here are still cheaper compared to other places around the world. Although, there will likely continue to be a reduction in Chinese buyers as that nation’s government cracks down on how much money leaves the mainland. Another prediction for next year is that less-expensive areas will see increased demand from many buyers who are priced out of other in-demand locations. Expo attendee Jan Ryan, a Re/Max agent based in Ramona, said she has already seen an increase of people from central San Diego who
are searching for cheaper housing in the rural area where she has been based for 34 years. She said for most of her career she has worked with a lot of family members of people who lived in the area. But, nowadays, people are seeking out properties farther east because they can’t afford anything closer to the coast, even though they might work out there. “You get a lot more for your money,” she said. “We’re a small town with good schools, less traffic, a lot of community events and a lot of room for growth.” Molnar writes for The San Diego-Union Tribune.
