Your grandson is in jail and needs bail money immediately. You didn’t pay your bill and SDG&E is minutes away from shutting off your electricity if you don’t pay right now. You owe the IRS money and you need to pay this instant. What do all these things have in common? They’re all scams and they’re more prevalent than ever right now. The scenarios of the scam may vary, but they are all the same at their core: you receive a phone call saying you owe money and you need to go put hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars on Green Dot prepaid debit cards. When you receive a follow-up call, you’re instructed to read off the
number of the card to “pay your bill.� Voila! You’ve just sent your money to a scammer and you will most likely never get it back. Some of the more popular scams being run over the phone are the grandson in jail, owing money to the IRS or SDG&E, and being told you need to pay a fine to the police for a crime or face arrest. The people running the scam often get basic information about you or your company off of Facebook and other social media, and use phone spoofing tricks to make their phone numbers come from special area codes, set up legitimate-sounding voice mail messages, or use disposable phones so as not to be tracked by police if their victim reports their number.
The scams target the most vulnerable of the population — the elderly and those for whom English isn’t a first language, said Darlene Duncan, the Poway sheriff’s station’s crime prevention specialist. Anyone can get hit with a phone scam however, said Duncan. The most recently reported incident was from someone in law enforcement, who received a call saying that he had skipped jury duty and now had to pay his misdemeanor fine. “The victim never verified if it was real, just sent the money,� said Duncan. The most common scam to hit the elderly seems to be the grandson in jail scam, while small restaurants are hit by the SDG&E scam, where the caller claims their electric bill is over-
due and someone is standing by to shut off their electricity if they don’t pay. Duncan said in the last couple of months, three ethnic restaurants in Poway had fallen for the scam, while a fourth didn’t after a timely visit by Duncan let them know about the scam. Another restaurant, a pizza place, told Duncan they had been called “incessantly� by scammers trying to get money. Duncan said it was possibly a misunderstanding of how laws work in the U.S. and a lack of English skills that lead to some falling for the scam. “No legitimate organization, including the police, SDG&E or the IRS, is going to demand you load up money on Green Dot cards,� she said. “If you SEE SCAMS, Page A4

Whether you call it Candy Cane Cour t, Candy Cane Lane or Candy Cane Courts, this Poway neighborhood has been bringing the Christmas spirit for over 20 years. Made up of three cul-desac streets off Hickory Street — Hickor y Court, Butterwood Court and Rockrose Court — this festive celebration of lights and decorations can be seen nightly throughout the month of December. In addition to the elaborate displays of lights, decorations and music, many of Karen Santilla the homeowners have made it a tradition to sit in their driveways to chat with viewers, while others dress as Santa, sell hot beverages and treats to raise funds for various organizations and charities and even host karaoke in their driveways. Other houses set up areas for viewers to take photos in. The tradition began small, in the early 1990s, after the neighborhood was built, said Karen Santilla, who is one of the original owners remaining in the neighborhood and has participated since Candy Cane Court began. “One of the crafty ladies (on Butterwood Court) had the idea of making candy canes

part of the reason the Candy Cane Court tradition took off the way it did was because of the men in the neighborhood. “The dads really get into competitions with each other,� said Santilla. The neighborhood does not have an HOA and participation in the tradition isn’t mandatory. The tradition is

S.D. Toy and Doll Museum opens in Old Poway Park BY EMILY SORENSEN Kids of all ages can finally enjoy the San Diego Toy and Doll Museum, which officially opened its doors on Saturday at 14031 Midland Road, in the Old Poway Village Shopping Center. The museum’s gift shop and the Lego display room are open to the public. The remainder of the museum, which will display all sorts of antique and vintage toys, dolls and games, is still under construction and will open sometime in early 2015, said Elisa Ballard, president of the San Diego Toy and Doll Museum. Ballard and the museum’s volunteers are aiming for mid-January. “We’re all volunteers, doing the best we can with what we’ve got,” said Ballard. Ballard said the museum will also begin holding monthly workshops once the museum is fully up and running, with the first probably being held in February. Entrance to the Lego room is $2 per person. Browsing the gift shop is free. The museum’s opening on Saturday drew a large crowd, said Ballard. “Quite a few people came through. Kids and adults both loved it,” she said. “We’re hoping to inspire kids and families to play, learn and be creative.” The Lego room contains more than just the popular plastic bricks. It also houses a collection of rare Lego toys, including the wooden toys the company made with before switching over to the plastic bricks in 1960. The vintage toys are on permanent loan from the L Gauge Museum. “Many of these (Lego) displays are not anywhere else in the United States,” said Ballard. “Some of these toys were never sold outside
of Europe.” The room also contains examples of older Lego bricks, as well as displays of elaborate Lego constructions made by master builders Bill Vollbrecht and Matt Armstrong, who is also known as “Monsterbrick.” Kids (and playful adults too) can indulge in a little hands-on building fun of their own, thanks to the room’s Lego wall and tubs of loose bricks. The gift shop offers everything from dolls, to board games, to old-fashioned toys like marbles and jacks. “We’re trying to bring back older toys kids can still have fun with,” said Ballard. The gift shop also sells fun activities and games that are educational for kids, teaching sharing and creativity, said Ballard. There are also several resale dolls for sale, which were donated to the museum, said Ballard. The dolls are being resold to raise funds for the museum. The San Diego Toy and Doll Museum is open Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum is also still looking for volunteers.

Several young Marines from the 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, Poway’s adopted unit, and their families will be having an extra merry Christmas thanks to Project HoHoHo. Originated by Councilman John and Susie Mullin, this project provides gifts to young Marines and their families, who might otherwise struggle to buy gifts this holiday season. “Because of the generosity of our group, we will again this year make a nice Christmas for 10 or more young Marine families of the 1st LAR, the city’s adopted battalion. So many of these young Marines have almost nothing, and our being able provide them and their children with some Christmas joy and is very gratifying for everybody involved,” said Susie Mullin in a press release. In 2013, Project HoHoHo provided gifts to 14 families consisting of 28 adults and 22 children. Project HoHoHo is affiliating with the Poway Veterans Organization for the first time this year. The Poway Veterans Organization is a local non-profit organization dedicated to helping veterans in need. This affiliation means that contributions to this year’s project are tax deductible. “We are very thankful for the gracious support from the Poway Veterans Organization. With their help our patriotic contributors will be provided the documentation they need for their tax filings,” said Mullin in a press release.

Community Food Connection holding fundraising event BY EMILY SORENSEN The Community Food Connection is hoping holiday generosity can help keep their refrigerators running. They will be collecting monetary donations from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6 on the corners of Poway and Community roads. Volunteers will be on all four corners, as well as next to the driveways, to collect funds to help them continue to help out the needy in Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Sabre Springs and Scripps Ranch. “The Community Food Connection is an organization that gives out free food to those in need,” said Kim Rearick, who helps her husband Bill run the program. The Community Food Connection is based out of Connection Church in Poway and serves about 300 families a month. “We’re mostly feeding families with four, five, six, seven or even eight members,” said Rearick. “So we’re helping roughly 1,000 people a month.” The program opens its doors three times a week to families on the Emergency Food Assistance Program (EFAP), a government program which provides emergency food supplies to low-income households through food banks. Community Food Connections partners with the San Diego Food Bank for the food they provide to EFAP recipients. Once a month, however, Community Food Connection opens its doors to ever yone, providing free food to families who do not qualify for EFAP. The program uses donations
to purchase food, as well as donations from local grocery stores, to stock its own pantry. While this event is usually held on the fourth Thursday in a month, in December it will be on the third Thursday, Dec. 18, because of the holidays. On these Thursdays, families can show up, take a number, and take home an entire cart full of groceries. Tickets for the carts are distributed from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the food, which can include canned goods, bags of tomatoes and potatoes, bread and more, is distributed to the families who hold tickets. Bread and baked goods are donated to the program twice a month by the Rancho Bernardo Vons, said Rearick, and Backyard Produce provides free produce to the program as well. The Community Food Connection has also recently made a couple of new partnerships. Trader Joe’s in Carmel Mountain Ranch provides a wide variety of foods available daily to the program, and NaPizza in 4S Ranch donates leftover pizzas to the program as well for distribution. The program runs a total of 20 refrigerators to keep all its donations in, which has escalated its running costs. “The amount we can give out is increased, but we needed more fridges. The donations we receive are not keeping up with our needs.” The program held a walk-a-thon in May which raised funds, but more are needed to keep it running.

Council salutes veterans housing plan BY STEVE DREYER The City Council is unanimously on board with the idea of Habitat for Humanity building 28 townhomes on vacant city land for sale to military veterans. Meeting Tuesday night, the council authorized city staff to begin a six-month negotiation process with the organization where design details and related items will be worked out. A community forum will be included in that process. As proposed by the non-profit group, two-, three- and four-bedroom homes will built on 2.15 acres on Twin Peaks Road, next to the Circle K store. The land was purchased in 2004 by the city’s redevelopment agency and was transferred to the Poway Housing Authority after the state dissolved all local redevelopment agencies. The city has long anticipated using the property for low- or moderate-income housing to help it meet state-imposed affording housing mandates. If built, the veterans project would count toward that obligation. Pre-qualified veterans would purchase the units and sign no- or low-interest 40-year loans with average monthly payments of about $1,200, according to Councilman Jim Cunningham. There would be no down payments but each purchasing veteran would be required to invest some “sweat equity.” Twenty percent of the townhomes would be set aside for disabled veterans. The California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) has approximately $6 million in funding set aside for the Poway project under its new Residential Enriched Neighborhood (REM) program. The city’s role will be to provide the bare land and as-
sist with “wrap-around” services similar to those provided at other affordable housing developments in the city. Last week Cunningham, who has been working on bringing the project to Poway for two years, said the new homes would be targeted for veterans who have been discharged with the past few years. Tuesday night Lori Holt Pfeiler, executive director of San Diego Habitat for Humanity, said that all veterans, including those serving in previous wars, would be encouraged to apply to own a townhome. That statement was praised by Councilman Dave Grosch, who served in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. In other business, the City Council • Discussed raising water rates by 7.75 percent and sewer rates by 7.5 percent and agreed to hold a public hearing on Feb. 17 on the matter. Notices will be mailed to all water and sewer customers later this month. The proposed increases would increase the average residential bill by $8.22 month. If approved in March the higher rates would be reflected in bills mailed starting in May. • Approved a conditional use permit and development review application allowing a vacant building at 12255 Poway Road to be converted into an indoor kennel with two outdoor exercise areas. Several Oak Knoll Road neighbors attended the meeting and signed a petition expressing concerns about possible noise levels, based on their experiences with another kennel in the area. • Reviewed and accepted a plan outlining steps the city wants to take regarding the acquisition of properties for habitat preservation. The city has about $1.8 million available in a fund from builders who paid fees instead of providing mitigation for their building activities.
SCAMS CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1
actually owe money to the IRS, they will send you a letter. They do not call.” The secret behind the success of the scams is urgency. “Scammers are convincing and compelling, but it’s nothing but scare tactics,” said Duncan. “Ever y single call has urgency attached, do it now.” Duncan said that potential victims should always think things through, no matter how convincing the caller is. “No matter what the pressure is, think it through. No organization will require you to run to the store and load up Green Dot cards.” Duncan said victims tend not to verify the legitimacy of the call until after they send the money. Others are told it is a scam, but send the money anyway out of fear. “One victim (of the IRS scam) actually called his CPA to ask if he owed taxes, was told no, but sent the money anyway,” said Duncan. Seniors are often victims of phone scams, because they inadvertently give out vital information. “Seniors are vulnerable because of their age and because of fear,” said Duncan. Senior victims often give their grandson’s name (the scam never says a granddaughter is in jail, said Duncan) when answering the phone, which the scammers then use to give the call legitimacy. A second scammer then gets on the line, says they are a lawyer, and are in a courtroom with the grandson and need bail money sent immediately or their grandson will go to jail, usually for drunk driving. Scammers often tell victims what exact store to visit to get the Green Dot cards, which gives legitimacy that they are who they say they are. Victims are often told not to call and ask the grandson’s parents, as there is no time, or the grandson don’t want their parents to know about their arrest. Duncan said one couple lost $12,000 to this scam, and in October, two victims lost a total of $7,000 in two days to the same scam. “It seems so plausible at the time,” Duncan said about victims falling for the scam. “But once someone is arrested and booked into jail, the police aren’t going to ask you to load up a Green Dot card. You need to go to a bail bondsman.”
Duncan said police have been reaching out to stores that sell Green Dot cards about the scams. Several businesses said they had store policies that employees should tell the customer about the scams when buying large quantities of Green Dot cards, which can hold up to $500 each and cost $4.95 each to activate. Duncan said she had been told by one of the companies that they had tried to warn one of the October victims, who didn’t believe them and sent the money anyway. Another victim was spared after buying $2,000 in Green Dot cards when an employee at the store told her it was a scam. According to a police report she filed, when the scammers called back to get the money, “she read them the riot act,” said Duncan. “Reaching out to stores helped.” Even Green Dot cards themselves have a warning on them not to give the code out over the phone, because it’s a scam, but the fear can be too strong, said Duncan. “If a would-be victim hears the words “Green Dot,” hang up the phone and call the sheriff’s department, SDG&E or your family to confirm that everything is okay before sending money,” said Duncan. The San Diego County District Attorney recently sent out a scam alert about avoiding the IRS scam, which is a large-scale, nationwide scam. “Beware of callers claiming to be the Internal Revenue Service, telling individuals they owe taxes and must use a pre-paid card or wire transfer to pay immediately. Other threats by the fake IRS caller include ‘there is a warrant for your arrest’ and ‘the police are coming now to your residence.’” It advised calling the IRS at 800-829-1040 if you think you owe federal taxes, and reporting the incident to 800366-4484. Complaints can also be filed at www.ftc.gov, with “IRS Telephone Scam” added to the comments with your complaint. The press release advised, “the IRS will never request personal or financial information by email, texting or any social media. You should forward scam emails to phishing@irs.gov.

spirit,” said Santilla. Some houses go all out, while others are more restrained in their decorating. “I’m a medium decorator,” said homeowner Bob Belzman, another original homeowner who has been participating since the early 1990s. “I change it up a little every few years to keep it fresh.” Belzman said his wife, Jo, and his grandchildren are what keep him decorating every year. “They all love to walk around the neighborhood and look at everything,” he said. Belzman brings something unique to the tradition. As part of a Corvette Club, his fellow club members drive their Corvettes through the neighborhood every year to view the lights, while Belzman dresses as Santa and hands out treats to them. Other decorators go a little bigger. Terry Murphy, who moved to the neighborhood in 1992, fills his yard with wooden cutouts of his dogs as reindeer, pulling a sled full of Looney Tunes characters, which he made and his daughter painted. “I jumped right in (in 1992),” said Murphy. “I have a little Griswold in me.” Murphy said he’s seen everything from double-decker buses to limos driving through the neighborhood viewing the spectacle. Murphy’s daughter, Tara, also has her own tradition for Candy Cane Court, offering free hot chocolate and cookies to viewers. She doesn’t charge anything, but any donations she receives are given to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Over the past couple of years, she’s donated about $3,500 just from donations garnered during Candy Cane Court. Despite the bright lights, there is a downside to Candy Cane Court, owners said. Thanks to social media, the Poway tradition has spread and attracts more people than ever. The steady parade of vehicles driving through the neighborhood to look at lights creates huge traffic jams, making it difficult for homeowners to get home from work, and many worry that if there was an emergency, an ambulance or other emergency vehicle would be unable to get through. Homeowners instead suggested that viewers park their cars down on Saddlewood and walk through the neighborhood, and suggested that the city could help alleviate the strain by leaving nearby Starridge Park’s gates open after dark, so viewers could park there. Homeowners also deal with a lot of litter, said Santilla and Schaitel. Many leave trash cans by their curb and find them full almost nightly and have to spend time cleaning trash off the sidewalks and out of the street. Santilla also said that she had some of her lights stolen last year. “That’s a downside,” she said. “I’m doing less (decorating) this year because of that.” Schaitel said there are also more people who come up onto her property now instead of viewing from the sidewalk or the street. Still, despite the pitfalls and the time needed to set up and take down all the decorations, members of the Candy Cane Court said it is worth it. “Overall, it’s great,” said Santilla. “It’s a unique and endearing tradition. People come visit us at Christmas and it’s fun.”

RBHS puts spin on 'Nutcracker' tale RANFTLE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK When people hear there is an upcoming performance of “The Nutcracker,� a majority probably expect a ballet version with a heroine named Clara. That will not be the case when Rancho Bernardo High School presents “A Very Bronco Holiday: The Nutcracker� next weekend. It is a children’s play that incorporates actors, dancers, singers and musicians. In this version, the heroine is named Marie and it revolves around her visiting the Land of Toys. The production features around 160 students from four departments — theater, dance, choral music and orchestra — who for the first time will be joining together to present a holiday show that potentially could become an annual tradition, even if a different story is used in subsequent years, said Marie Morris, who said she came up with the idea last February. “We were talking about doing a big show together,� said Morris, who heads the theater department. Joining her in directing this endeavor are choir director Lisa Friedrichs, dance coach Michelle Jacoby and orchestra director Rosanne Valenzuela. Based on the original E.T.A. Hoffman tale, this adaptation by Patrick Rainville Dorn and Bill Francoeur incorporates music by Tchaikovsky, who composed the ballet. Morris said the RB High version has been expanded a bit more with additional songs being incorporated into the script. In this version of “The Nutcracker,� a little girl named Marie receives an unusual nutcracker from her Godfather Drosselmeier on Christmas Eve. During the night she is
A few of the 160 performers in “A Very Bronco Holiday: The Nutcracker.� It can be seen at Rancho Bernardo High School on Dec. 13 and 14. Photo by Elizabeth Marie Himchak awakened by a group of mice led by the evil Mouse King. The Nutcracker, joined by other characters, including a ballerina, the Feline Legation and Mistress Clara, fight the mice and Marie defeats the Mouse King. Following their triumph the group goes to the Land of Toys to rescue the Nutcracker’s love, Princess Pirlipat, from the wicked Mouse Queen. After they are reunited his curse is broken and Marie returns home in time to open her presents on Christmas morning. The actors are from Morris’ advanced drama class while the dancers portraying toy soldiers, dolls and mice come from the Tour de Force and BBoys dance teams. The Madrigals will sing a cappella arrangements and the orchestra will be on stage throughout the show to provide the music. “I think it’s really cool,�
said senior Laura Bradford, who plays Marie in her first RB High production. “I’ve seen the ballet 10 times. This is interesting and a different twist to the story.� “I’m really excited to have the lead role, the hero,� said senior Max Noman, who plays the Nutcracker. “It’s a lot of fun being with everybody. ... It’s just a good, old-fashioned show.� Joining Bradford and Noman in the play’s cast are Kenny Rayburn (Fritz), Jill Onorato (Mother), Paul Tael (Father), Tamer Qafiti (Godfather Drosselmeier), Chankin Shan (Mouse King), Holly Vaughn (Mistress Clara), Laura Vesala (Whiskers), Shannon Cowgill (Ballerina), Mikayla Eskew (Rudi), Sammee Lomibao (Princess Pirlipat), Kristin Chandler (Mouse Queen) and Amanda Risher (Sweet Tooth). Morris said putting on

a production with various art disciplines has been a learning experience for all because it is different from putting on a play, musical, dance recital or music concert since while similar, their production methods also differ. “We bit off a lot,� she said, adding future years should be easier now that they figured out how to coordinate the various department’s efforts. “It’s a really good show for families and children ages 3 or 4 and up,� Morris said about the one-hour show with no intermission. She said it should be a good way to introduce young children to a live theatrical performance. Shows are at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13 plus 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14 in RB High’s Performing Arts Center, 13010 Paseo Lucido. Tickets are $5 for Poway Unified students with ID and $10 for general admission, sold at the door.
campaign. Two years later Zaworski-Burke was ousted by challenger Andy Patapow, a retired high school principal who, as of Monday, will be the senior member of the school board. Ranftle said the early years on the board were spent improving relations with the Poway Federation of Teachers, whose members had been talking about taking job actions. The board endorsed union leader Don Razka’s idea of implementing “interest-based negotiations,� where the district and union tried to focus on mutual interests rather than areas of difference. The model worked, and continues to work today, resulting in nearly two decades of labor peace with the teachers. Over the years Ranftle’s niche became representing the district on the California School Boards Association board. She focused her energies on education laws and in closing the gap between high- and low-achieving students. The work also made Ranftle painfully aware of the inability of both the state and federal governments to adequately and fairly finance public education. One of her regrets, she said, is that very little progress has been made in this area in 20 years. Her decision not to run for a fifth term was made in the spring and was based on two factors. Ranftle said she and her husband are deeply involved helping an elderly family member recover from being the victim of a large financial scam. The second reason is that this past spring Ranftle found out that her eyesight is being threatened by macular degeneration, which so far has only prevented her from driving at night. It does mean that Ranftle will soon be leaving her job in Oceanside as program director for a non-profit that helps disadvantaged youth. On Monday night, Ranftle, along with board members Todd Gutschow and Marc Davis, will step aside. Gutschow and Davis, whom Ranftle said she respects and admires greatly, were defeated for re-election last month. As was the case 20 years ago, three new board members will be sworn in: Michelle O’ConnorRatcliff, Charles Sellers and T.J. Zane. Looking ahead, Ranftle said she is interested in helping children and adults learn to read and is looking into becoming a trainer for a program that offers such help.

Business Not much truth This just may be your cup of tea in this advertising BY EMILY SORENSEN
W
ith my daughter at college, I naturally expected the ASK MR. MARKETING marketing onslaught from banks about hocking my house to pay for school. Most of these mailings get tossed right into the recycling bucket. But it was the item addressed “To the parents of” and emblazoned FINAL EXAMS INFORMATION ENCLOSED that caught my eye. You’ll recall that direct mail has three objectives: • Get opened • Get read • Get acted upon This one was opened and read before anything else in the mailbox, thus achieving objectives one and two. After all, as a concerned parent I want to know everything about my daughter’s educational experience. Inside was a solicitation to send my student a Final Exams Care Package. Apparently the school has a deal with a New Jersey company that ships goodie baskets. My guess is the school provides the student’s contact information and then gets a sales commission for every package that’s sold. Don’t misunderstand: I’m not objecting to school fundraisers. However, it would’ve been nice if someone had asked if I wanted my family’s information shared. I feel betrayed by the school. My daughter’s attendance isn’t public record, and they have no right to share our information for their profit. Which means I’ll never buy from this company, because they tricked me into reading their sales pitch. I’d rather spend the same $45 and create my own care package that actually has a personal touch to it. Now what about your business? Are you being straightforward with customers in your messaging, or are you saying anything just trying to get that envelope opened? If you’re sending dishonest mailers (fake checks, faux government notices, references to irrelevant postal regulations, etc.), you should re-think your strategy. Because if you’re being less than honest with your customer base, you too may be scaring away potential sales. Advertising giant David Ogilvy once observed: “The consumer is not an idiot; she is your wife.” My takeaway from that: treat customers with respect. It’s something to consider as you’re creating your future marketing materials. Always look for messaging and delivery vehicles that your spouse would approve of. Not only will it be more honest, but you’ll have a much better chance of improving your long-term sales. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Let Mr. Marketing show your customers how much you care. Get more information at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Looking for a nice, light lunch, or a place to hold a party? Try the Grand Tea Room, at 145 West Grand Avenue in Escondido. The Grand Tea Room was opened in September 2011 by Louisa Magoon, and is a full-service restaurant and gift shop, specializing in afternoon teas and light lunches. “It’s going great, we’re ver y busy,” said Magoon. “We have lots of par ties.

But we also already know about roughly 20 vendors who’ll be there selling everything from jewelry to reusable bags, clothing, food items, handbags, and crafts of every kind.” In addition to shopping, the Sisterhood will have an array of goodies for sale, including latkes with applesauce, brisket, hot dogs, veggie dogs, burgers, and doughnut holes. “We have a party starting at 2 p.m.” said Outreach Chair Sherry Wilkins.

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Mary Beth Graves’ 100th birthday party included her taking a spin on the dance floor. Close to 80 people attended the centenarian’s celebration held on Nov. 23 at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo, said friend Sunny Christiansen. The party was hosted by Graves’ son, Stuart. “It was a wonderful party and one she deserved,” Christiansen said. Graves and her late husband, George, an architect, moved to Rancho Bernardo from Palm Springs in 1967.

Special needs drama class prepares for first performance BY EMILY SORENSEN The “Mixed Ability Performers” drama class has been working hard to present its first ever show, “The Search for the Sleeping Princess,” on Wednesday, Dec. 10. The sole performance will be at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10 at the Poway Community Auditorium, 13325 Civic Center Drive, Poway. The show is open to the public, but capacity is limited. For information on the show, visit mixedabilityperformers.webs. com. Based on the tale of Sleeping Beauty, this comedic retelling will tell the story of a prince who, during his search for the sleeping princess, learns to overcome his fears and how to be brave and strong. The play features mostly actors with special needs, said Michelle Winkenwerder, who started the “Mixed Ability Performers” in September. Winkenwerder, who has worked with children with special needs within the Poway Unified School District for about five years, said she started the classes because she thought acting was something people with disabilities could do and be positive about. There are 13 participants in the class, both

They’re enjoying being their characters.” Winkenwerder said her students liked being able to go on stage and be somebody else. “They can be a character and have fun, like being a prince or a giant, with their friends.” Winkenwerder has also been creating sets for the show, including a castle and a gingerbread house. “I’m very excited for the show,” she said. “We’ve been working very hard on sets and props.” With the success of her first class, Winkenwerder is planning on another session of classes, which will begin in January.

Law enforcement agencies take turns cohosting the event every year now, and next year to commemorate 25 years, the Coronado Police Department will co-host with the County Probation Department.
All law enforcement offices and courts participate in the drive and collect new stuffed animals or monetary donations from the public through Dec. 8. All money collected is used to purchase additional teddy bears when the hospital’s supply starts running low at the end of the year. To participate, drop off new stuffed animals at any sheriff’s department or police station.

For a sick and possibly scared child, receiving a teddy bear or other stuffed animal can be a source of comfort. And that is what revs up the San Diego Regional Law Enforcement Teddy Bear Drive. The San Diego County Probation Department and San Diego County Sheriff’s Department are co-hosting this year’s Teddy Bear Drive, benefitting Rady Children’s Hospital. “Our goal is to make sure that every kid that gets admitted to Rady Children’s Hospital gets a teddy bear or stuffed animal,� said Deputy Probation Officer Sean Griffin, who is helping coordinate the event. “If we can provide just a little bit of comfort, it’s well worth it.� Last year, the drive collected a haul of more than 40,000 stuffed animals, and Griffin says he would love to match or top that number this year. “It lets us step away from the law enforcement job that we normally have to do and lets us be mothers, fathers, uncles and aunts that we really are,� said San Diego Sheriff’s Deputy Rey Lyyjoki about what he enjoys

SAN DIEGO (CNS) — The San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a series of actions Tuesday designed to combat Alzheimer’s disease -- the third leading cause of death in the region -- and help caregivers. The county’s Alzheimer’s Project brought together local elected officials, researchers, caregivers and other experts. Their discussions, lasting months, focused on funding research, providing care, developing diagnostic standards and raising awareness on the signs of the disease. “We are here today for all those with this disease and all those that care for them,’’ Super visor Dianne Jacob said. “No one should have to face this disease alone.’’ The recommendations resulting from the roundtable discussions included: -- starting a San Diego-based fundraising campaign called “Part the Clouds’’ to spur innovation and drug discovery; -- developing countywide standards for the screening, diagnosis and management of Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related conditions; -- increasing awareness of and recruiting more volunteers for clinical trials; -- exploring the creation of a regional registry that would connect patients and physi-
cians with researchers; -- enhancing training for those who work with Alzheimer’s patients; -- expanding services, respite care and support for families; and -- improving the sheriff’s department’s “Take Me Home’’ program to increase access to GPS devices to help find patients who wander off. The experts who came up with the recommendations now have three months to come of with a plan to enacting the recommendations. Jacob and Supervisor Dave Roberts said Alzheimer’s is “reaching epidemic proportions’’ in the county, with an estimated 60,000 residents living with the disease or a related form of dementia. That number is expected to balloon to 100,000 by 2030. The condition is taking a toll on families and healthcare providers and is only expected to get worse. According to Jacob and Roberts, around 80 percent of patients are cared for at home. “Alzheimer’s devastates families, claims lives and wears down caregivers who are often family members,’’ Roberts said. “Caregivers struggle with their own mental and physical health while caring for a loved one.’’

Jenny Smith 1955 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2014 Jenny Lee Smith, 59, passed away on November 27, 2014, following a short illness. She lived a full life, ďŹ lled with adventure, travel to exotic places, with many enduring friends and a loving family. Jenny was born September 2, 1955, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the oldest of four children to Wesley â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buzzâ&#x20AC;? and Carolynn Burt. Starting in high school and continuing for many years, she worked and managed the familyowned restaurant, Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drive Inn, in West Valley City, Utah. She developed lasting relationships with co-workers and customers who appreciated the dedication and sense of humor that she brought to work every day. More
than anything, she loved the time spent with her dad while the two worked together. In 1975, Jenny had the ďŹ rst of her two children. Her oldest son, Cory Sinclair, lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his wife and two children. Her youngest son, Casey Buzz Sinclair, tragically passed away shortly after his ďŹ rst birthday in 1981. For many years, Jenny raised her children while unselďŹ shly working multiple jobs to provide for her family. Jenny met the love of her life, Steve Smith, in 1987. They married almost immediately and spent twenty-seven years together. During the ďŹ rst years of their marriage they lived in Wisconsin, Illinois and Utah. In 1991, they moved to Poway, California, and made it their home. Jenny loved California, walking on the beach for hours on end. Jenny worked for many years as a travel agent at Protravel International in Rancho Bernardo, forming lifelong friendships with many of her coworkers. It also allowed her to pursue her passion for travel. She was able to visit some of the most exotic places on earth: Africa, Australia, Russia, China, Israel,
CALIFORNIA FUNERAL
Alltern natiives
Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, and many countries in Europe. Even in the last weeks of her life she traveled along the Oregon coast exploring the giant redwoods, along with her husband and father, her two favorite traveling companions. She was affectionately known to squeeze any animal that came within her grasp, from kangaroos, to monkeys, to giant lizards. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonder that she died with all her ďŹ ngers intact. In 2005 Jenny was delighted to become a grandmother. She would play for hours with her two grandchildren, Adam 9 and Violet 3. But her love of children was not limited to her own; she befriended any child that came across her path, from friends, relatives, and coworkers. They were all welcomed with open arms, love, and hours of play. Her last years were made more difďŹ cult by medical conditions that slowed her physically, but her spirit remained unshaken. Her friends and family will miss her optimism and lasting beauty. She was a remarkable wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, and she will be missed by all who knew her. Jenny passed away at Scripps Green Hospital

Thanks to outgoing elected leaders THUMBS UP, and thank you, to four local elected leaders whose public service days will be ending this month. Poway Mayor Don Higginson will leave the City Council on Dec. 16 after serving for 28 consecutive years, either as mayor or as a councilmember. He will be fondly remembered as someone who kept a steady eye on the vision of what the “City in the Country” should be and did it with Unified School District, member Penny Ranfle is stepping down Monday after 20 years of dedicated service while incumbents Todd Gutschow (eight years) and Marc Davis (four years) have been sent into retirement by the voters. All three, we believe, were exemplary public servants who had the best interests of the students of the district at heart. THUMBS UP to the 700-plus volunteers from throughout the area who gathered Nov. 16 at Poway High School to assemble and pack 82,512 meals that will feed the hungry both in San Diego County and overseas. The second annual event was sponsored by Cornerstone Church with the assistance of Friends and Family Community Connection. THUMBS UP to the San Diego City Council for its unanimous commitment to begin a $3.5 billion project to recycle wastewater for potable use. The project, Pure Water San Diego, will result in recycling enough purified water to account for 30 percent of San Diego’s drinking water needs by 2035. It was also lessen the load on the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant and will potentially save billions in expansion and upgraded treatment costs. The City of Poway belongs to a regional wastewater agency and both Councilman John Mullin and former Public Works Director Leah Browder should be commended for spending considerable time and effort bringing the Pure Water plan to fruition. THUMBS UP, with a salute, to the Poway City Council for its decision this week to begin negotiations with Habitat for Humanity to develop a two-acre, city-owned parcel near Twin Peaks and Espola roads into about 30 townhouses that will be purchased by pre-qualified veterans. The “Habitats for Heroes” project is supported by the state Dept. of Veterans Affairs which reportedly has set aside up to $6 million for construction.

Study the Middle East Columnist Amy Roost (Nov. 20) needs to do some original thinking. Invoking the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals after accusing America of practicing “...an imperialistic foreign policy...” is such a common accusation by know-nothing leftists that is rather more boring than infuriating. In any case, it is nonsense. I spent over a decade working in the Middle East with diplomats, cabinetlevel officials and security officers of eight nations in a mutual effort aimed at stopping terrorist actions in that slice of the Earth. Rather obviously, we were not all that successful. I certainly did not have the power to dictate to those officers and officials what policies and practices they should adopt and the last time I checked, an “imperial” power could do just that. In fact, quite the opposite was true. There was a lot of discussion, and even arguments, centering around which strategic goals should be adopted and what tactics should be used to achieve those goals. We were dealing with independent nations who saw us as an ally in a fight against a mutual enemy not as an imperial dictator. If anything is true today, it is that every one of those nations I worked with then
would welcome an American return in force to the region. The imperialist powers that are feared by one or more of the nations of the Arab Middle East are Iran, ISIS and the various offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood, not the United States. Yes, the Middle East is complicated. Ms Roost needs to do a little studying before commenting on the area again. I can recommend some books for her.

Response to Lyles In response to Dick Lyle’s commentary last week about how Thanksgiving is celebrated in our classrooms, the Poway Unified School District would like to share the following information. The celebration of national holidays is an important component of PUSD’s social-science curriculum. As it relates to the first Thanksgiving, our policies have not changed. We do not prohibit lessons about the first Thanksgiving that recognize the role of Native Americans. To the contrary, our district’s Thanksgiving curriculum guidelines ask teachers to provide lessons that are historically accurate and sensitive to the culture and religion of all parties
involved, including Native Americans. Instructional leaders in our district have worked to design resources and activities around the first Thanksgiving. We have also gathered a range of resources, including ones developed in conjunction with the Wampanoag Tribe, whose ancestors were a part of the first Thanksgiving. By supporting our teachers with historically accurate instructional resources, we are enriching the historical dialogue for our students and deepening their understanding of this important national celebration. PUSD teachers, staff and administrators remain committed to providing instruction that supports our District’s goal of ensuring all students “Recognize, understand and respect cultural diversity….” In doing so, we are preparing students for success in a multi-cultural world and in the global economy.

N
either devoted Republicans nor dedicated Democrats are happy about one obvious message of last month’s election: At least in California, there’s no need at all to choose or join a political party. This message came across in several ways. For one thing, the two Republican candidates for statewide office who refused to endorse their party’s candidate for governor both did far better than all other GOP candidates for major office. For another, the two-year-old “top two” primary election system gave Republicans a decisive voice in the many districts where Democrats so dominate that GOP voters previously didn’t have influence. The same for Democrats in the few districts where the tables are turned and Republicans dominate. Party stalwarts hate this, because it has already demonstrated a moderating influence on legislators and members of Congress, and the leaders of both major parties tend to be extremists of left and right. It is likely no coincidence that the two Republicans who ran strongest – Pepperdine University Prof. Pete Peterson for secretary of state and Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin for controller – were the most moderate statewide candidates their party offered this year. Small party adherents also despise top two, because it has essentially taken their candidates off the November ballot. Libertarians, Greens and others have the same shot anyone else does in the primary, but if they’re not one of the top two vote-getters then, they are forced to the
Thomas Elias SOCAL FOCUS sidelines for the rest of each election year. And why not? If they demonstrate sufficient appeal to voters in the primary, they’ll be fine in the fall. If they don’t, they won’t be elected later anyhow and would merely clutter both the ballot and any debates that might be held along the way. Another central feature of top two is that voters have no need to affiliate with either party at any time unless they hope someday to win political office themselves. There is no longer any public office or proposition on any ballot for which people declaring no party preference cannot vote. It’s plain from the latest voter registration statistics that voters are increasingly aware of all this. Just before Election Day, 517,000 more Californians were registered than four years ago. But while Democratic registration was actually up slightly, by about 87,000, Republican rolls were down by almost 356,000. Where did the new voters and the former Republicans go? Most went to the no party preference column, up almost 650,000 and to smaller parties like the Greens, Libertarians, American Indepen-
dents and Peace and Freedom, whose membership rose a combined 115,000. Belonging to a fringe party also no longer limits anyone’s ability to participate, as it previously did. The numbers show a marked acceleration of a trend toward voter independence that began in the late 1990s, but only advanced slowly before top two. Now more than 23 percent of all California voters decline to choose a party, double the 1998 figure and almost as many as call themselves Republicans (28.1 percent). All the parties hate this, and are again contesting top two in court, this time challenging a similar Arizona system. So far, the California plan has withstood court challenges, but no one can be sure about Arizona. Which means the just-concluded vote could have been the last one under this system. The major parties would love that, of course, as they despised the way 24 legislative races and several Congressional contests this fall pitted party mates against each other. The intra-party competition made some districts that were previously among the most one-sided into serious, unpredictable battlegrounds. “You no longer have a choice between hamburger and fish on the political menu,” griped one activist. “Now it’s just between two types of hamburger. What kind of choice is that?” It turns out to be a healthy one. Elias is a syndicated columnist. Reader comments, through letters to the editor or online at pomeradonews.com, are encouraged.

Reflections on my first term in the Assembly By Assemblyman Brian Maienschein
T
wo years ago, I had the honor of being elected as your state Assembly member. It has been a great privilege to represent the community I grew up in, and then represented as a San Diego City Council member and as San Diego’s first Commissioner on Homelessness. Our state benefits when elected officials work to build relationships with colleagues from both parties. By focusing on what brings us together, instead of what drives us apart, I was able to author a number of bills that were signed into law. These bills will have a positive impact on our state and our local community. My bills include: Helping military spouses find good-paying jobs — Assembly Bill 186 helps military spouses with a professional license from another state find work when they move here on active duty orders. By providing them with a temporary license, they can immediately look for a job to help support their families. Our military
spouses have a proven record of service and professionalism, and they have made incredible sacrifices, while their spouses defend our nation. We should do all we can to support them and their families. Providing relief to those affected by the May wildfires — Many of us have friends and family that were affected by the May wildfires, and most are still struggling to get back on their feet. Assembly Bill 922 authorizes a tax deduction for San Diego residents who suffered losses to their homes or businesses during the May wildfires, for up to 20 years, or until all those losses are recovered. This will help the thousands of residents and small business owners still struggling to get back on their feet. Finding abandoned animals a new home — I also authored a measure that will help save the lives of thousands of animals. Assembly Bill 1810 repeals the requirement that an animal care facility shall euthanize an abandoned animal after 24 days, granting facilities more flexibility to find abandoned animals a new home.
With so many organizations ready and willing to help place these animals in loving homes, it makes sense to repeal statutes that lead to the destruction of healthy, adoptable animals. Combating the human trafficking epidemic — Assembly Bill 1791 gives prosecutors another tool to combat the growing problem of human trafficking. Specifically, it doubles the maximum sentence for those soliciting or engaging minors in an act of prostitution. This bill is a crucial first step towards protecting our youth from the dangers of human trafficking in our state. Each of these bills represent the type of sensible legislation that I am fighting for in Sacramento. I will continue working on the issues that are important to our communities, such as economic development, education, public safety, and homeless and mental health. It is an honor to be your assembly member, and my staff and I are always here to serve you. Maienschein, R-San Diego, represents the 77th Assembly District, which includes Poway, Rancho Bernardo and 4S Ranch.

Dermacare RB Dr. Jeff Birchall, Med. Dir., Kris Pinto, RN., Erika Van Hulzen, PA-C. Cooling Off Fat Dermacare is pleased to announce the addition of the CoolSculpt procedure to their repertoire of body shaping services. CoolSculpt will add a non-surgical, no downtime treatment option to Dermacare’s weight loss counseling (TSFL), and laser-assisted liposuction (LifeSculpt). This complement of options allows us to customize a plan to meet your goals, from complete lifestyle change to minimizing that last area of stubborn fat. CoolSculpt is an amazing technology, developed by some of the field’s greatest minds out of Harvard University, that freezes fat but the skin is preserved. These fat cells are then slowly absorbed and metabolized. This is an effective and straightforward procedure. No anesthesia is needed, as there is virtually no discomfort, and a person can go right back to life or work from the procedure.

“There are strategic steps to avoid holiday weight gain while still enjoying friends, family and holiday feasts,” says Sonya Angelone, registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson. In preparation for a big holiday party or feast, do not skip meals throughout the day. This may result in overeating later. “It is especially important to eat breakfast,” says Angelone. “High-fiber and high-protein foods like oatmeal and milk with fruit, an egg and spinach on whole wheat toast, will satisfy hunger without a lot of calories.”
The ideal candidate is at a healthy weight and just needs to reduce stubborn fat deposits. Dr. Birchall has been a physician in the community for 24 years and Dermacare has been providing cosmetic services for 8 years. Their goal is to provide expert care in a comfortable and safe environment. In addition to body shaping services, Dermacare provides a wide array of cosmetic services including Facials, Botox, fillers and lasers.

eating large portions of foods that are perceived as healthful. To avoid overeating, use a smaller plate. Also, start by filling your plate with vegetables and salad before going to the entrees and desserts. Eat slowly and savor every bite. Before you go back for seconds, wait 10 minutes to see if you really are still hungry. Including nutrient-rich foods in your diet is great, just remember that these foods have calories too, which should be taken into consideration with your whole eating plan. “And be mindful of alcohol consumption. Drink more water throughout a party to quench your thirst and help keep the cocktails to one or two,” says Angelone. Remember to include at least 30 minutes of physical activity into your day to promote health during the holidays -- and be sure to involve the whole family. Having healthful eating and exercise plans for holiday meals will help ensure success throughout the season and all year long.

The Arbors at Rancho Penasquitos encourages families, during holiday visits with aging loved ones, to check on their health, discuss their senior care and review their important documents. Reuniting at the holidays is a natural time for adult children to observe their elderly parents and help them organize for long-term care. “Many people go home ready to celebrate the family being together,” said Pam Fullerton for The Arbors. “Then they notice their parents have changing needs. Holidays are a good time to pause and check in on how your aging parents are really doing.” The Arbors suggests three ways to use family time to get organized for the future care of an aging loved one: 1. Take stock of health and wellness Evaluate your loved one’s living situation including eating habits and look for weight loss or gain. Ask about their medical visits and call their doctor for another perspective. Take a photo of their prescriptions for your records. Inquire about their social life and listen for mental health concerns. Look for red flags that identify potential safety, mobility and health issues. 2. Discuss senior living choices Families reuniting for the holidays
enjoy reminiscing about past get-togethers. Turn on the video camera on and “interview” your parents on a variety of topics, such as growing up, their young adult years, favorite holiday traditions or whatever is of most interest to your family. This can ease you into the “tough conversation” on aging and different senior living options. 3. Review important financial and legal documents Families can find themselves in a crisis needing to make quick decisions about care for an elderly parent or relative. Set aside time to collect important documents to prepare for a parent’s elder care and health care. Knowing where to find insurance cards, birth certificates, wills and financial records can help families be prepared for hospital visits and making decisions about senior care for their loved ones. “Using your holiday visit for evaluating your aging parents is more effective than a phone call or short-term visit,” Fullerton said. “Being proactive and engaging your parents about their future may seem awkward, but knowing how they feel and understanding their legal and financial realities, helps your family make better choices.”

Entertainment Carols by Candlelight returns for 25th anniversary BY EMILY SORENSEN
Steve Vaus, also known as Grammy award-winning performer Buck Howdy, with his daughter Anna Vaus, who will both be performing at Carols by Candlelight on Dec. 12 and 13.
This year marks the silver anniversary for Carols by Candlelight, which has been using music to raise money for children’s charities for 25 years. The concerts will be at 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 12 and Saturday, Dec. 13 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, 340 N. Escondidio Blvd. Tickets are $55 for mezzanine seats, $65 for orchestra seats. You can also purchase orchestra VIP tickets, which includes a meet and greet with the performers, for $87. Military gift tickets are $25. Tickets are now available by calling the box office at 1-800-988-4253 or online at www. CarolsByCandlelight.com. “The coolest thing is that (Carols by Candlelight) has turned into this wonderful gift of music to the community, and a wonderful gift of hope to Rady Children’s Hospital,” said Steve Vaus, the founder of Carols by Candlelight. This year will feature a stellar line-up of performers, including America, Juice Newton, Berkley Hart Selis Twang and Mary James. Also performing will be Vaus
and his daughter Anna Vaus. “We’ve always been blessed with great talent,” said Vaus. “Big name folks who are loved here in this area.” Vaus said that he was looking for a way to commemorate the show’s 25th anniversary. Carols by Candlelight began in 1990 as a free concert in Horton Plaza, founded by Vaus and Wayne Nelson. Over the years it outgrew its original location and moved to the Poway Center for the Performing Arts and then to its current home at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. Despite some hard times a few years ago, Carols by Candlelight has rebounded. “A few years we didn’t raise much, and we weren’t sure it would go on,” said Vaus. “We always managed to do something to keep it alive.” Currently, Carols by Candlelight donates its proceeds to Rady Children’s Hospital. In the past, several children’s charities have benefited, including the San Diego Center for Children, the Cox Kids Foundation and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Vaus said that he SEE CAROLS, Page B22

When Santa fails to make his scheduled grand entrance at the Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hardware Holiday Party it is up to the Wonderettes to save the festivities in Welk Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday show offering, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winter Wonderettes.â&#x20AC;? The festive, family-friendly show running through Dec. 28 is part play, part musical and part musical revue as the four-member cast sings its way through 25 holiday and re-worded â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s/â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s-era songs in this twoact production. An example of the latter is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mister Santaâ&#x20AC;? sung to the tune of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mister Sandman.â&#x20AC;? REVIEW There is lots of comedy and audience interaction, with touches of sentimental moments that successfully incorporate the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secular aspects with the religious, giving nods to both Christmas and Hanukkah. Sarah Errington makes her fourth appearance on the Welk stage as Missy Miller after appearing in Welkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent versions of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Pacificâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A-5678.â&#x20AC;? She is joined by Rae K. Hendersen (playing Betty Jean Reynolds), Kristen Lamoureux (Cindy Lou Huffington) and Noelle Marion (Suzy Simpson), all making their Welk debuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winter Wonderettesâ&#x20AC;? is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s-based Christmas musical created and written by Roger Bean, which brings back the four characters from the off-Broadway hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Marvelous Wonderettes.â&#x20AC;? The holiday version is one of two sequels, with the other
being â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Marvelous Wonderettes: Caps and Gowns.â&#x20AC;? In this show the Wonderettes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four song leaders from Springfield High â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are now adults dealing with husbands, children and their various jobs at Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hardware. Directing and choreographing the Welkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version is Bets Malone, who originated the role of Suzy in the original production from its workshop period through off-Broadway run. She also reprised the role in both sequels during her 15-year history with the franchise. All four of the cast members do well in their parts, capturing the nuances of their roles without making their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s-era personas too campy. They have lovely singing voices, each singing solos as well as their four-part harmonies that are accompanied by four musicians in the Welkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orchestra pit. While much of the show is upbeat, there are some somber moments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially when Betty Jean passes out the holiday bonuses to everyone, including the audience. The audience is a collective fifth cast member since as Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hardware employees at the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual party, the audience is recruited to actively participate and several audience members are called up on stage to perform with the Wonderettes. In all, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winter Wonderettesâ&#x20AC;? is a fun show about four friends who do their best to entertain everyone during Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence. Does he ever arrive?

estimated that Carols by Candlelight has donated about $1 million dollars throughout the past 25 years. Being able to give back to children, especially Rady Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, is something that is personally important to Vaus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the get go, this has been a labor of love for me,â&#x20AC;? he said. Vaus said he was inspired by the death of his younger sister to create Carols by Candlelight and give back. His sister was very ill, and died before she was a year old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only Christmas she had was spent in the hospital,â&#x20AC;? said Vaus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember being amazed at the love and care she was given. It stuck with me,
and I wanted to repay what she was given.â&#x20AC;? Following the concert, the performers and audience members head outside to the courtyard with candles and sing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silent Night.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most memorable moment every year is when we go out in the courtyard with candles and sing Silent Night. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wow. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a goose bump kind of thing.â&#x20AC;? Vaus said that the audience always leaves Carols by Candlelight happy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without a doubt, every year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the show, folks walk out with their hearts a few sizes larger and feeling the true meaning of Christmas,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I accomplish in my life, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good with that.â&#x20AC;?

HEARING AID HELP
Never keep a hearing device unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re completely happy with it. Dr. David Illich, founder of Professional Hearing Associates in San Diego County, says people with hearing aids should ask themselves the following three questions: Do I love the physical ďŹ t? Do I love the ďŹ delity (overall sound quality) of the device? Do I love the beneďŹ t I have experienced in my life? WHAT IS AN AUDIOLOGIST? The aforementioned healthcare professionals are called audiologists. They are licensed experts specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss and balance disorders in adults and children. Think of an audiologist primarily as a hearing doctor. Many audiologists have completed a doctor of audiology (Au.D.) degree, though there are other doctoral degrees within the ďŹ eld, including Ph.D. and M.S.) Audiologists typically offer the following services: s #OMPLETE HEARING EXAMS s &ITTING ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF HEARING AIDS s 4REATMENT FOR BALANCE DISORDERS AND RINGING IN THE EARS s Hearing and speech rehabilitation programs CHOOSING THE RIGHT AUDIOLOGIST Being able to choose the right audiologist for your hearing loss needs ďŹ rst starts with your ability to acknowledge that you are having an issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The initial concerns usually come from family members commenting on your listening skills or noticing that the TV is up a little louder,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Heather Cones, audiologist with Professional Hearing Associates in San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North County. David Illich, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology, founded Professional Hearing Associates in 1984 (www.hearinginfo.net). He recommends ďŹ nding an audiologist you feel comfortable with on a personal and professional level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like eyeglasses where you pop on a new pair and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re set,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working by your SIDE YEAR AFTER YEAR TO MAKE SURE YOUR HEARING NEEDS ARE BEING MET AND EXCEEDED 4HIS IS A JOURNEY v
Like in choosing any other specialist, it is important that you, the customer, do your homework before SETTLING ON ONE (ERE S HOW s 4ALK TO FRIENDS AND SEEK RECOMMENDATIONS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED THE SERVICES OF A LOCAL AUDIOLOGIST s ,OOK FOR PRACTICE REVIEWS AND HEARING AID CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS ONLINE These offer great insights into facets like customer service and quality of products. PROCESS OF PERSONALIZATION A 2009 Consumer Reports study found that 66 percent of hearing aids in the United States are misďŹ t. That means that more likely than not, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re presently wearing an aid that is not fully meeting your needs. Enter doctors like Illich and Cones, who are extensive in their evaluation of your personal situation when matching their aids with your ears. They are able to gather, assess and translate your needs into personalized hearing aid solutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take a full test to measure your hearing sensitivity and evaluate your speech understanding,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Cones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how connected speech and hearing are. We see how well your brain is able to make sense of what comes through your ears.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Illichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice has proudly ďŹ t the innovative Lyric by Phonak â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an innovative extended-wear hearing aid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; since 2008. The device is positioned deep in the ear canal and allows wearers to sleep and shower without taking it out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You come back every three months and we replace it,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Illich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the ďŹ rst and best option for 24/7 hearing.â&#x20AC;? All-day and all-night hearing is life-changing for people suffering from what Dr. Illich and Dr. Cones call the invisible handicap. And in the ďŹ eld of audiology, there is always an emerging trend or technology around the bend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really exciting time and a really exciting ďŹ eld to be in,â&#x20AC;?

County public health official offers ways to cut cancer risk It claims the lives of nearly 5,000 San Diegans every year and has become the leading killer in the region. “Cancer is now the number one cause of death in San Diego County, ahead of heart disease, the number one killer in the United States,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., and county public health officer. Every year, more than 1 million people in the United States are diagnosed with cancer, the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases that can cause serious illness and death. Cancer killed 4,958 San Diegans in 2012, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Three behaviors — poor nutrition, lack of physical activity and tobacco and substance abuse — lead to four chronic diseases. They are cancer, heart disease and stroke, type 2 diabetes and lung disease. Combined, these diseases cause more than 50 percent of deaths in San Diego County. That causeand-effect chain forms the 3-4-50 principle that helps drive the County’s Live Well San Diego initiative, which recently celebrated its fourth anniversary. According to the American Cancer Society, more than half of all cancer deaths could be prevented by making healthy choices like not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating right, keeping active, and getting the recommended screening tests.
“Some types of cancer can be prevented by reducing or changing the risk factors,” Wooten said, adding that the County’s Live Well San Diego initiative aims to reduce cancer and other chronic diseases by encouraging San Diegans to be more physically active, eat healthier foods and stop smoking. So, what are some factors that are known to increase the risk of developing cancer? Poor diet, lack of exercise and obesity Maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active on a regular basis and eating healthy foods can reduce the risk for cancer. One third of about 586,000 cancer deaths reported in the U.S. each year are linked to poor diet, lack of physical activity and being overweight. Tobacco and substance abuse Smoking and other forms of tobacco use are known to increase the risk for many kinds of cancer. Cigarette smoking, including second-hand smoke, is believed to cause about 30 percent of all cancer deaths in the U.S. Studies have shown that drinking alcohol in excess is linked to an increased risk of some cancers, including breast, liver and colorectal cancer. - County News Service

Dr. Scott M. Lippman FRONTLINE: CANCER cause of their cancer, but in reality, just 5 to 10 percent of all breast cancers are clearly hereditary. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain pesticides and the heavy metal cadmium are associated with increased breast cancer risk. At the moment, there is only a tenuous link between air pollution and breast cancer. Most scientists do not believe that environmental factors are a major cause of breast cancer. Lifestyle factors: There is convincing evidence that low levels of physical activity, obesity, alcohol and cigarette smoking are risk factors for breast cancer and cancer recurrence. For example, physical inactivity is estimated to be responsible for approximately 10 percent of breast cancer mortality. Data regarding diet are conflicting, although fat intake may increase the risk of breast cancer. Other factors: Age, taller height, higher socioeconomic status, high breast density (as evident in a mammogram), not bearing children, hormone replacement therapy and issues affecting hormonal status, such as a late natural menopause, have all been identified as potential risk factors for breast cancer. Clearly there are factors and behaviors that exacerbate breast cancer risk and factors and behaviors that do not. Identifying them based upon sound science is an ongoing effort. One such effort is a study at Moores Cancer Center that involves assessing whether weight loss or metformin might reduce the risk of breast cancer mortality. Metformin is a widely used oral antidiabetic drug that reduces glucose, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In some people, it also promotes weight loss. Researchers are looking for breast cancer survivors interested in participating in a clinical trial investigating the effects of weight loss and metformin. If interested, contact Jessica Orotowski-Coleman at reachforhealth@ucsd.edu or (858) 8223311. Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UCSD Moores Cancer Center. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ ucsd.edu.

ast year, more than 232,000 women were told they had invasive breast cancer – in which cancer cells have spread beyond the mammary glands – and another 64,000 were diagnosed with in situ breast cancer, in which the cancer is localized to the cells lining the breast ducts. After cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, accounting for almost a third of all newly diagnosed cases. It is also among the most deadly of cancers. Each year, approximately 40,000 women die from breast cancer. Only lung cancer kills more. Who gets breast cancer? The obvious answer is women, though men are not immune. It’s 100 times less common in males, but more than 2,300 men will be diagnosed with the disease this year – and 430 will die. The majority of breast cancer cases involve women diagnosed after age 50. The median age of diagnosis is 61. They tend to be non-Hispanic white women, though African-American women have a higher incidence rate before age 40. Generally speaking, a woman living in the U.S. has a 12.3 percent lifetime risk (1 in 8) of being diagnosed with breast cancer, that’s up from 1 in 11 during the 1970s. A lot of factors account for the increase in risk: Longer life expectancy, changes in reproductive patterns, menopausal hormone use, the rising prevalence of obesity and better detection rates through screenings. What actually causes breast cancer is a tougher question. For insight, I turned to Ruth Patterson, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Family & Preventive Medicine in the UC San Diego School of Medicine and leader of the Cancer Prevention Program at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Here’s what Ruth had to say: Among breast cancer survivors, there is a consistent belief that their own cancer was caused by stress, fate, family history or environmental factors, but research paints a more nuanced and often yet-to-beexplained picture. Stress, personality and fate: There is no scientific evidence that a negative mental attitude can cause breast cancer, but chronic perceived stress may be something else. Some studies have found a link between chronic psychological stress and breast cancer. The evidence is strong in mouse studies, but less so in humans. As for fate or destiny, that is still beyond the ability of science to measure. Family history or genetics: A large number of women identify these factors as the

San Diego home prices dip, still up over '13 The index of the 20 cities combined in September was 173.72, unchanged from the month before and 4.9 percent higher than last year. An index of the 10 largest cities stood at 188.68, the same as August and 4.8 percent higher than September 2013. David Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said the results show that annual gains are slowing all over the country. He said 18 of the 20 cities in the index reported slower annual gains in September than the prior month. “Other housing statistics paint a mixed to slightly positive picture,’’ Blitzer said. “Housing starts held above one million at annual rates on gains in single-family homes, sales of existing homes are gaining, builders’ sentiment is improving, foreclosures continue to be worked off and mortgage default rates are at pre-crisis levels.’’

Homes SAN DIEGO (CNS) — Home prices in San Diego fell 0.2 percent in September from the month before, but were up 7.9 percent from the same month last year, according to the Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller Home Price Indices. The annual increase continued to slow -- as recently as June, the year- over-year hikes in home prices in San Diego were in double-digits. The indices were created by taking the price of homes in the 20 largest real estate markets in January 2000 and assigning them a value of 100. The indices track their subsequent rise and fall. In September, San Diego’s figure was 203.31, representing more than a doubling of property values in about 15 years. That’s the third-fastest climb in the United States, behind Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP
BY MICHAEL BOWER Nearly all of the pieces were in place for the Rancho Bernardo High football team to have a successful offense in 2014: A QB with some experience as a starter returning, a rare combination of power and quickness from its group of running backs and a receiving corps full of speed and elusiveness. But there was one big question looming prior to the season — who is going to block? “Our entire offensive line from my sophomore and junior year graduated last year,” said 6-foot-2, 300-pound senior left tackle Austin Lucht, who is the only returning starter on the Broncos’ line. “One of our biggest challenges as a team was to fill those spots. We had all the tools: running backs, receivers and a quarterback. We just needed to
SDS D-II TITLE GAME No. 3 Rancho Bernardo vs. No. 1 El Capitan Saturday at Southwestern College, 3:30 p.m.
find big, athletic kids that could play offensive line.” Rancho Bernardo found those kids in an array of places and they came together to pave the way for a running game that is averaging nearly seven yards per carry with four different main rushers this season due to injuries. The Broncos have rushed for over 300 yards in both of their playoff games. That ground attack and makeshift offensive line will be on full display Saturday when third-seeded Rancho Bernardo (10-2) faces No. 1 El Capitan (120) for the San Diego Section Division II
championship at Southwestern College at 3:30 p.m. “I think it has been a great collective effort by everyone to get to the title game,” Broncos offensive coordinator Br yan Grundon said. “I think (head coach) Tristan McCoy’s defense deserves a lot of credit ... but the offensive line is definitely a big part of us getting here.” The search to fill those four empty spots on the offensive line started right after the Broncos finished a second straight disappointing one-win season in 2013. Offensive line coach Dave Gorman, a 1999 graduate of Rancho Bernardo, started to pencil in names before the start of fall camp. Left guard: Devin Lecakes-Jones. The 5-11, 240-pound junior was the center on the JV team last year and captured the Palomar League title in the shot put. SEE FOOTBALL, Page B34
BY MICHAEL BOWER The Poway High wrestling team will challenge for a state title once again, as it opens the year ranked No. 11 in the nation by Flowrestling. Rancho Bernardo should be a top-five team in the section and will be aiming to send at least four grapplers to the state tournament. Del Norte is rebuilding, but is hoping to start off strong in its new league, the Avocado East. Here is a closer look at the local teams:
Poway
█ Coach: Wayne Branstetter, 37th year █ Last season: Captured the Division II section title — it’s 28th straight section crown — and placed third in state. █ Key grapplers: 108, Kai Middlebrook, Jr.; 115/122, Ray Cordova, So.; 122, Brandon Kier, Jr.; 128, Scotty Kiyono, So.; 134, Manny Lair, Sr.; 140/154, DJ Garcia, So.; 140/154, Grant Smith, So.; 140/154, Ralphy Tovar, Sr.; 162/172, Colt Doyle, Sr.; 184, Chris Bailey, Jr.; 184/197, Andrew Tausch, Jr.; 220, Liam Sorahan, Sr.; 287, Colemen Cowling, Sr. █ Outlook: The Titans have one of their strongest teams in recent years, fielding eight wrestlers ranked in the top10 of the state. Leading the way is returning state champion Doyle, who enters the season ranked No. 2 in the state and No. 18 in the nation by Flowrestling. SEE WRESTLING, Page B33

Barnum bursts on scene for Rancho Bernardo High BY MICHAEL BOWER Anthony Barnum spent his sophomore year at the junior varsity level carving up defenses from the running back position with his rare combination of vision and speed. He was sure to get a shot at the varsity starting running back position during fall camp this year, but a fractured tibia during track season set him back and slid him down the already-deep depth chart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was disappointed because I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to help out my teammates,â&#x20AC;? said Barnum, who also is in the Broncosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Royals Regiment and is second chair on the french horn in the Rancho Bernardo Wind Ensemble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no frustration. Things happen for a reason. I just had to get through it and recover. Spots always open up; you just have to fight for it in practice.â&#x20AC;? Barnum missed most of the summer and the first two games while recovering from the injury. By that time the
the junior varsity. I embraced that because that is what you have to do. I just tried to work hard in practice and be ready for the games.â&#x20AC;? The first game without Range it was Grice getting most of the carries. He finished with 171 yards and a touchdown against Ramona in his first varsity game. Barnum had three carries for seven yards, but he would break out in the season finale against rival Poway. With Grice twisting his ankle, the door swung open for Barnum and he took full advantage. It would be the first of three straight 100-yard plus games, as he went for 102 against the Titans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised at all,â&#x20AC;? said McCoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a great season as a sophomore at the JV level and he is a hard-working kid, ver y Athlete of the Week Sponsored by bright and capable.

Broncos were rolling with starting running back Tyree Range and senior David Arevalo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really factor Anthony in very much because we had David and Tyree,â&#x20AC;? Rancho Bernardo coach Tristan McCoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was pretty much how it was for seven weeks.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Range was lost for the season with a knee injury and in the same game against Mt. Carmel Arevalo was banged up. Suddenly, Barnum had moved up on the depth chart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, losing Tyree was a huge hit to ever ybody and not just because he is a valuable asset to our team, but because we love him,â&#x20AC;?

WRESTLING CONTINUED FROM PAGE B30
He is one of three state placers that return. The other two are Lair and Tovar. Poway is eyeing its fifth state title in school history, but it will have to catch defending champion Clovis to make it happen. “As usual, Clovis is strong again,” Poway coach Branstetter said. “I think there is a shot to beat them. You always feel like there is a shot, but we have to take care of business ourselves and hope things line up at the end.” The Titans look destined to capture their 29th straight section championship with at least one grappler ranked in the section in 13 of the 14 weight classes (not 140), according to Calgrapper. Poway will have a chance to add a first to its glistening resume with the addition of section dual championships this season. “I think the dual championships are great for the sport,” Branstetter said. “It is more fan friendly. You can appeal to grandma and grandpa. It is better than watching a tournament. It is more like watching a basketball game.” The Titans will be heading to Branstetter’s home state of Montana Thursday to wrestle in Friday and Saturday’s Sidney Eagle Wrestling Invitational. Among teams there will be 10-time Washington state champion Lake Stevens and many other perennial powers. “Typically, I wouldn’t do it because of the cost, but they are financing the trip for us,” Branstetter said. ****
Rancho Bernardo
Del Norte
█ Coach Anthony Alvarez, 2nd year █ Last season: Placed 16th at the Division III section championships. █ Key grapplers: 184, Michael Bulkin, Jr.; 132, Alex Sorano, Sr.; 147, RJ Guevara, So. █ Outlook: The Nighthawks have struggled the past two seasons and will likely continue to go through growing pains this year. But coach Alvarez says brighter days could be in the near future. “We graduated a lot of our kids last year,” he said. “We only have a couple juniors and seniors. The rest are freshmen and sophomores. This year it would be a long shot to win league, but we can be strong next year.” Del Norte has been moved from the Valley League to the Avocado East, where Escondido and San Marcos are the favorites to win the league title. The Nighthawks had two placers at the section’s Division III tournament last year and return one of those in Bulkin. The junior is ranked No. 4 in the section at 170 pounds. He finished third at the Division III tourney and went 3-2 at the Masters Championships last year. He is hoping to earn a berth to the state championships this season. “Our expectations for him is to win the section tournament and go to Masters and be in the finals and qualify for state,” Alvarez said.

█ Coach: Joe Eddie Terribilini, 12th year █ Last season: Placed third at the Division II section championships. █ Key grapplers: 108/115, Charlie Hanson, Jr.; 122/128, Adrian Charbono, Jr.; 132/138, Erik Salcido, So.; 138/145, Chaz Franchina, So.; 195, Jordan Devlin, Sr.; 184/197, Chasen Blair, So.; 287, Corbin Grenowich, Sr. 220, Hamed Samee, Jr. █ Outlook: The Broncos went 20-1 in duals last season and have a group of grapplers primed to turn in yet another successful year. “We have a lot of talent,” coach Terribilini said. “They just have to come through when it is crunch time.” Rancho Bernardo had 10 wrestlers compete in the Masters Championships last season and one advanced to state (graduate Omid Zeighami). The Broncos are shooting to send at least four to state this season. “I think anyone of those guys listed (under key grapplers) has a chance,” Terribilini said. “It would be a great thing to send
more than we ever have to state.” The last time Rancho Bernardo sent four wrestlers to the state tournament was in 2011. Four wrestlers are ranked in the section rankings by Calgrappler, including Hanson at No. 1 at 108 pounds. Charbono is No. 3 at 122, Blair No. 2 at 184 and Grenowich No. 2 at 222. Grenowich is likely to wrestle 287, according to Terribilini. Hanson took fourth place at the Masters Championships last season, while Blair and Grenowich finished in sixth. The Broncos are stuck in the Palomar League and Division II with state power Poway, so claiming a title is tough. “We have been runner-up in the Palomar League for eight years straight now,” Terribilini said. “We would have a better chance to win the section if Poway wasn’t in our division. The one time they weren’t we won it. So our goal is to be top three at Masters and in the section...” The Broncos will be in Arizona this weekend for the Liberty Duals. ****

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he got into camp, he was as strong as anybody on the team, so he stood out there,â&#x20AC;? Gorman said. Center: V ictor Par ra. The 5-11, 210-pound senior played defensive line for the varsity last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After last year, he said he wanted to play center, even though he never snapped a ball or played there,â&#x20AC;? Gorman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just took it on himself to get that skill down, so I penciled him in.â&#x20AC;? Right guard: Mark Or tiz. The 5-9, 241-pound senior is only in his second year playing football. He played for the JV last year and his outstanding footwork comes from years of breakdancing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The breakdancing has helped him out a lot,â&#x20AC;? Gorman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kid has great feet and it was pretty obvious he was a great athlete.â&#x20AC;? Right tackle: Corbin Grenowich. The 6-2, 237-pound senior was on the defensive line all of last season for the varsity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always thought he was a better defensive player than offensive player, but he really stepped up,â&#x20AC;? Gorman said. Those four joined Lucht in the trenches and it took some time before they started to work cohesively. But it helped having top-flight running back Tyree Range carrying the ball early in the year before a knee injury at the end of October ended his season.
Austin Lucht, left, is the lone returning starter on the Broncos' offensive line. File photo â&#x20AC;&#x153;Week 1 the offensive line played OK and then Week 2 against Del Norte they were really, really bad,â&#x20AC;? Gorman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know we won 31-0, but a lot of that was Tyree being Tyree.â&#x20AC;? The turning point for the offensive line came against Escondido in Rancho Bernardoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh game, says Gorman. The Broncos had a 16-play scoring drive that featured all running plays. It chewed up over seven minutes during that 41-7

to get better. Against Scripps Ranch in the Division II quarterfinals, he had 21 carries for 186 yards and two TDs. He followed that up with a 180-yard, two TD performance in the semifinal win over San Marcos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The coach has a saying: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;next man up,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? explained Barnum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a person goes down for any reason the next man has to do the job. Really, the offensive line and the receivers have been blocking phenomenally for everybody the entire year and that made it easy to do my job.â&#x20AC;? That and Barnumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to see the hole and burst through it without dancing around in the backfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is patient and once he makes up his mind and sees where to go, he has the ability to just put his foot in the ground and accelerate,â&#x20AC;? McCoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a quick burst and first step and he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t freelance. He is not one of those guys that takes the ball and runs wherever the heck he wants. He is successful because he runs where the play is designed to go.â&#x20AC;? And Barnum is successful in many things: football, in the classroom, the french horn and as a long jumper. His future is certainly bright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are going to be hard pressed to find a better kid,â&#x20AC;? McCoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been doing this for 12 years and he is probably one of my all-time favorites and I think every coach on the staff would say the same thing. He is a humble kid, very wellrounded and just has a heart of gold.â&#x20AC;?
win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since then, they have been playing as close to perfect as you can get,â&#x20AC;? Gorman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is still room for improvement, but overall they are playing at a high level.â&#x20AC;? Sophomore Milan Grice and junior Anthony Barnum have been the main beneficiaries. The two running backs have split time in the backfield since Rangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury. Barnum has 366 yards and four TDs rushing in Rancho Bernardoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two playoff wins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have definitely improved as a unit,â&#x20AC;? Lucht said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are able to block as a whole now. There is not one side blocking one play and the other side messes up. We are all moving together and moving forward as a unit now.â&#x20AC;? And when considering their backgrounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two former defensive linemen in Parra and Grenowich, a breakdancer in only his second year playing football in Ortiz, a first-year varsity player in LecakesJones and the one returner with varsity experience in Lucht â&#x20AC;&#x201D; being able to move in harmony so quickly is a coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of crazy when you think about it like that,â&#x20AC;? Gorman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taken the time to put it into perspective, but to hear you say it out loud ... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a crazy ride.â&#x20AC;?

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $459,930.97 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this
SUDOKU
property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 4777869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 018519-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION:
