Embattled Poway Unified School District Supt. John Collins and his board appear to be heading toward a divorce. Several weeks after Collins retained a personal attorney, school board members met in a rare Sunday session to do the same. The lawyer selected as the board’s special counsel, Maribel Medina, will meet with Collins’s attorney to begin working out some kind of agreement that, by several private accounts, will likely result in Collins leaving the district by early next year. Medina, who has served as in-house counsel to school boards in Los Angeles and San Francisco, will be paid $250 an hour. “All I can say is that (the special counsel) is for contract negotiations,” Board President Kimberley

Beatty said. Through the interviews, there were several questions regarding the applicant’s experience and knowledge of representing a school board in contract negotiations with a superintendent, and specifically, their experience in negotiating a disassociation of a superintendent from the district. Collins on Monday would say only that “The current situation is that the board and the superintendent have agreed that their relationship is not working well and we need to discuss our options going forward in the best interests of the district.” Collins and two members of the board — Beatty and Charles Sellers — have clashed repeatedly over the past year over a wide variety of topics. Collins has also been routinely attacked during board

meetings by a small group of disgruntled district residents, several of whom are now trying to recall board member Andy Patapow from office. The start of Sunday afternoon’s special meeting was delayed by an argument involving Collins and Sellers over the room to be used. Sellers favored an upstairs conference room while Collins insisted that it be held in the regular location where the session could be recorded. The required advance notice of the meeting stated that it would be held in the district office community room. Sellers also objected to Collins sitting at the dais. The situation ended with the meeting being recorded in the regular meeting location and with Collins sitting in his usual seat at the dais. The meeting was attended by only one member SEE PUSD, A12

Poway again misses water mark BY STEVE DREYER Poway residents missed their assigned water conservation mark for November by 11 percent and that may put the city in the state’s enforcement sights. Since June 1, the state has

mandated that Poway reduce its water usage by 32 percent each month when compared to the same months of 2013. For November, residents and business owners cut usage by just under 23 percent, Assistant City Manager Tina White said.

Poway also missed its October mark, but by only 2 percent. The good news is that cumulatively, since June 1, the city has saved 34 percent, White noted. But it’s becoming much harder to SEE WATER, A12

PUSD high schools are among top 100 in state District ranks 15th best in state BY EMILY SORENSEN

A website has ranked Poway Unified School District’s high schools within the top 100 high schools in California. Niche is a website that provides reviews of schools and school districts from students, parents and professionals. It was founded in 2002 by Carnegie Mellon students as CollegeProwler.com. Poway Unified School District was ranked the 15th best school district in California by Niche, with a rating of 3.9 out of 5 by Niche users, which include parents and students from the district. Niche bases its ranking on eight different grades, including academics; health and safety; parent and student survey scores; student culture and diversity; teachers; resources and facilities; extracurriculars and activities; and sports and fitness. Academics makes up 50 percent of the weight of the final score. “Our team of data scientists has collected all of this data from public

data sources, such as the Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics, The US Census, and the FBI Crime Statistics, among others. They then clean up the data, craft it, and present it to our users in a way that makes sense. “We gather our surveys from our own users, who fill out surveys for a chance to win college scholarships. Parents and students may both fill out surveys for a chance to win scholarships,” said Alex Caffee, Niche’s business and marketing analyst in an email. Westview High School ranked the highest in the district, coming in at 21st place in California. Del Norte High School came in a close second, ranking as the 25th best high school in California. Poway High School came in at 49th, Rancho Bernardo High School at 78th and Mt. Carmel High School at 79th. The top high school in California, according to Niche, is Granada Hills Charter High School in Los Angeles. Canyon Crest Academy in San Diego ranked in 5th place in the state. While the district received high scores for most of the categories on Niche, it only received a C+ for extracurriculars and activities and a Bin sports and fitness. For more, visit k12.niche.com.

San Rafael-sponsored hospital reaches another goal Construction on its surgical center began this fall, set to open next year BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK

“We’re thrilled, almost overwhelmed,” said R. Lee Haney, a Rancho Bernardo resident who is on the hospital’s board of directors and its chief financial officer. “I have gratitude and amazement at the generosity of this community-at-large that stepped up, especially when it started,” said Poway resident Lane Freestone, Holy Innocents’ co-founder. “When it started, we had a dream and (locals) were willing to buy into it early on. We’ve seen so much accomplished. Those early on were a godsend.” The dream for a children’s hospital to serve the youngest Ugandans with little affordable access to medical care started a decade ago when the Most Rev. Paul Bakyenga, archbishop of Mbarara, Uganda, visited local Catholic parishes in the United States, including San Rafael in Rancho Bernardo. San Rafael parishioners asked him what they could do to help and his answer was to build a children’s hospital. By early 2007, Freestone and another Rancho Bernardan — the late Harold “Tom” Thomas — became Holy Innocents’ co-founders. Joined by their fellow

A children’s hospital in existence in Uganda largely due to San Rafael parishioners’ efforts has reached another milestone. Construction recently began on Holy Innocents Children’s Hospital’s surgical center. When completed by this time next year, officials said it will provide up to 200 pediatric surgeries per month to children ages 12 and younger. The 2,753-square-foot center will have two operating rooms, pre-op and post-op areas, a diagnostic center, X-ray and anesthesia areas, exam spaces and other needed areas. The project is not fully financed yet, but with $855,000 in cash and $92,000 in pledges, officials felt confident enough to break ground for construction on Oct. 17. Another $220,000 is needed to complete the project, but fundraisers are underway, including an end-of-year solicitation to prior donors, grant applications through other service organizations like Rotary International and San Rafael Catholic Church’s annual spaghetti dinner next summer.

parishioners, Monsignor Dennis Mikulanis (San Rafael’s pastor) and others, they started fundraising. By 2009 they had the roughly $1.3 million needed to construct and equip the first phase, a 60-bed wing, administration building, outpatient department, lab, pharmacy and X-ray facility. Since opening in 2009, Holy Innocents has provided medical care to 140,000 children — 24,000 inpatients with acute to critical medical conditions and 116,000 outpatients. At the time, 1 out of 7 children in Uganda died before reaching their fifth birthday, about 13,000 annually with another 7,000 dying between the ages of 6 to 12, according to the Rev. Bonaventure Turyomumazima, whose almost annual visits to San Diego have provided updates to supporters here about the progress on the life-saving efforts they are making overseas. Now, like then, the three leading causes of childhood death in Africa are malaria, respiratory infection and dysentery. All are survivable, if treated in time, with Turyomumazima saying three-fourths of children with

Progress has been made on these fronts, not only in saving young lives, but preventing the diseases due to other outreach efforts their non-profit organization has made, Freestone and Haney said. “For the last several months, malaria has not been among the top four preventable illnesses brought by children in the hospital,” Haney said. “(In the past) it has always been in the top

four for outpatients and those admitted.” The current top four illnesses are dysentery, upper respiratory infection, pneumonia and lower intestinal tract infections, he said. Freestone said malaria’s decline is due to efforts throughout the local region, including the more than 10,000 insecticide treated nets they have provided to Ugandan villagers to protect children from mosquitoes while sleeping, since SEE UGANDA, A15

Holiday Nights, Breakfast with Santa return to winery BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Bernardo Winery will be extending its operating hours into the evening next week for its annual Holiday Nights. The admission-free, all-ages event will be 4 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17 through Sunday, Dec. 20. The winery at 13330 Paseo del Verano in Rancho Bernardo will be decked out with holiday decorations to get attendees into the season. Marketing Director Sam Nawrocki said there will be a few changes this year, but many of the favorite activities are also returning. “This year, instead of arts and crafts vendors in the courtyard, there will be kids’ activities,” Nawrocki said. “There will be more focus on the winery shops (so

attendees) can patronize them and (see) all their wonderful things for the holidays.” She said the free and low-cost kids’ activities will include opportunities to make holiday ornaments and work on arts and crafts projects outside each store. As for other attractions, they will include an elaborate miniature train exhibit with a winter wonderland theme that is set up by Joe Micelli, strolling carolers in old-fashioned costumes, horse and carriage rides (nominal cost) plus opportunities to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus in the gazebo, where parents are welcome to take pictures. Nawrocki said adults will want to taste the mulled wine — based on winery family’s old recipe — and regular vintages offered in the

She added that Café Merlot and V’s Coffee Shop will also be serving dinner during the four nights. “Dress warmly because it typically gets pretty chilly, so you’ll want to bundle up,” Nawrocki said she advises attendees. Due to its popularity, Nawrocki said Bernardo Winery has expanded its annual Breakfast with Santa event, now offering it from 9:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 19 and Sunday, Dec. 20. (As of Monday, tickets were sold out for the Dec. 20 breakfast, Nawrocki said.) Tickets — only sold in advance — are $35 for adults, $25 for ages 7 to 12 and $8 for ages 2 to 6. Youngsters under 2 are free. To purchase, go to BernardoWinery.com or call 858-487-1866. The event — geared toward children —

offers an opportunity to meet with Santa, watch a magic show and get up close with animals brought by Wild Wonders. “It’s a relaxed environment ... and people really love it,” she said. “Wild Wonders brings really neat animals, like hedgehogs, ferrets, porcupines and snakes.” The full breakfast bar stops serving at 10:30 a.m., so Nawrocki said attendees will want to arrive early. “We accommodate around 100, including parents and children, because we like to keep it intimate,” she said. “It’s a beautiful atmosphere where (children) spend time with Santa and the breakfast is great.” She said many people make the breakfast a multi-generational family affair, with children, parents and grandparents often attending together.

SAVVY SENIOR BY JIM MILLER

How much you’ll pay for Medicare in 2016 All things considered, the news regarding Medicare costs next year is pretty good. For about 70 percent of the nation’s 52 million Medicare beneficiaries, there will be no Part B premium increase in 2016. And thanks to the 2015 Bipartisan Budget Act that was signed into law by President Obama on Nov. 2, the other 30 percent will pay much less than previously projected. Here’s what you can expect.

Part B premiums

Because the Social Security Administration will not be giving out a cost of living increase (or COLA) in 2016, the Medicare Part B premiums for most current beneficiaries will not go up either. Thanks to the “hold harmless” provision in the Medicare law, which prohibits Part B premiums from rising in any year that there’s no COLA, the 2016

monthly premium will remain at $104.90 for most current Medicare participants. However, this provision does not protect new Medicare enrollees (those who enroll in 2016), beneficiaries who are directly billed for their Part B premium, or current beneficiaries who have deferred claiming their Social Security. This includes people 65 or older who are still working but have signed up for Medicare because their employer doesn’t offer health insurance. It also hits people who have filed and suspended Social Security benefits to allow a spouse to claim. If you fit into any of these categories, your Medicare Part B premium will increase to $121.80 a month in 2016 – which is much lower than the $159.30 that it would have been, had the budget

deal fell through. The hold-harmless rule also does not protect high-income Medicare beneficiaries who already pay higher Part B premiums because their annual incomes are above $85,000 for an individual or $170,000 for a couple. If you fit into this category, here’s what you’ll pay for your Part B premium next year, based on your 2014 tax returns. Individuals with incomes of $85,000 to $107,000, or married couples filing joint tax returns with incomes of $170,000 to $214,000, will pay $170.50 per month. Individuals earning $107,000 to $160,000 (couples $214,000 to $320,000) will pay $243.60. Individuals with incomes of $160,000 to $214,000 (couples $320,000 to $428,000) will pay $316.70. Individuals over $214,000 or couples above $428,000 will pay $389.80.

Another increase high-income beneficiaries (those with incomes over $85,000, or $170,000 for joint filers) need to be aware of is the surcharge on Part D premiums. Affluent seniors that have a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan will pay an additional $12.70 to $72.90 per month, depending on their income, on top of their regular Part D premiums.

Deductibles and co-pays

Other changes you need to know about that will affect all Medicare beneficiaries include the Part B deductible, which will increase to $166 in 2016 (it’s currently $147); and the Part A (hospital insurance) annual deductible which will go up to $1,288 (it’s currently $1,260) for hospital stays up to 60 days. That increases to $322 per day for days 61-90, and to $644 a day for days 91 and beyond. And the skilled nursing facility coinsurance for days 21-100 will also increase to $161 per day (it’s currently $157.50). . Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

After the meeting, Beatty released a statement that said, in part, “The timing of our meeting was driven by requests from the superintendent beginning prior to the Thanksgiving Break.” The board held interviews with four different lawyers who were applying for the position of personal counsel to the board, then held a brief discussion before near-unanimously voting to hire Maribel Medina (Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff voted

Restrictions in place since June include limiting outdoor watering to two times a week. White said that since June the city has issued 258 violation notices, including 25 in November.

Collins said the question of whether the board should hire its own attorney was the subject of a Nov. 16 closed session, which extended for several hours. He said he told the board that his personal attorney would be unavailable for two-week period starting this past Monday. In all likelihood, he said, talks between the two lawyers will begin after the holidays. The recording of Sunday’s meeting is available for viewing at www.powayusd.com. The next regular meeting of the school board will be 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15 at the district office, 15250 Avenue of Science in Carmel Mountain Ranch. Editor Steve Dreyer contributed to this story.

Individual water agencies were assigned specific conservation goals based on 2013 usage totals. White said the city is expecting to soon receive a warning letter from the state for missing the October mark and “since we missed our November mark by more than 5 percent, we also expect to receive a notice of violation and an informational order.” A meeting with representatives of the State Water Resources

The state water conservation mandate is scheduled to expire in February but it is widely believed that the governor will extend it through next fall. San Diego officials have been lobbying to have cutbacks reduced since the county has taken a variety of steps in recent years to wean itself from Northern California water supplies.

Daniel Porter and Makena Miller learn computer coding during Hour of Code at Meadowbrook Middle School.

Meadowbrook students learn code in worldwide event BY EMILY SORENSEN Students at Meadowbrook Middle School joined millions of others around the world on Monday for Hour of Code. Hour of Code, aimed at eager technology lovers ages six and up, allowed participants to learn the basics of computer coding through fun, popular media-themed games like “Minecraft,” “Star Wars,” “Frozen” and “Angry Birds.” More than just an hour, students at Meadowbrook will get the opportunity to learn about coding throughout the week in many of their classes. “We’ve had a lot of interest in coding from the students,” said Heidi Uyloan, a teacher librarian at both Meadowbrook and Twin Peaks Middle Schools. “They had some experience with coding classes last year (at Meadowbrook), and the students are interesting in learning more about technology.” Uyloan said Hour of Code was also a good opportunity for the students to learn about computers, as Meadowbrook doesn’t regularly offer computer science classes. Teachers at Meadowbrook were asked to incorporate coding into their lessons this week, and students have also been given the opportunity to borrow laptops and participate throughout the day in the library and several classrooms. “All we had to do was sign

up and commit our campus (to participating in Hour of Code),” said Uyloan. “They provide the materials, we just had to provide the space, time and technology.” Uyloan said the students have been very excited by the coding lessons. “The kids are all very engaged,” she said. “Their conversations are around coding. They’re helping each other and get excited when they say, ‘We’re doing it.’” Jenny Byrnes, an eighth-grader at Meadowbrook, said she had a little previous experience with coding through both her father, who is a computer programmer, and through Khan Academy this past summer. “It’s easy so far,” said Byrnes, who was

working on the Minecraft module. “It’s kind of like a puzzle game.” Ryan Wu, also an eighth-grader at Meadowbrook, said he was also inspired to participate in the coding lessons because of his father, who is a computer engineer. “I wanted to see what it was like,” said Wu. Both Byrnes and Wu said they were enjoying learning to code and would be interested in continuing to learn about it. “It seems pretty fun,” said Wu. Makena Miller and Daniel Porter, both seventh-graders at Meadowbrook, were not only participating in the Hour of Code, but had spent their math class getting a coding-themed lesson. “We did (coding) in math and in my elective,” said Porter. “I’ve never done coding before, but I really wanted to.” Both said they enjoyed learning coding. “Knowing that you could program a video game is cool,” said Miller. Porter added, “once you finish, you think to yourself, ‘I just did that.’” Uyloan said over 500 students will be getting a lesson on coding at Meadowbrook over the week. “Down the line, we might have the opportunity to have computer science classes again (thanks to Hour of Code),” said Uyloan.

“Awe-Inspiring

ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK

Locals involved with leading efforts to build the Holy Innocents Children's Hospital in Uganda include Poway resident Lane Freestone (co-founder and director), left, and Rancho Bernardo resident R. Lee Haney (director and CFO). FROM UGANDA, A3 malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites. “We provide high quality nets (through our volunteers or other groups), educate them on how to use the nets and how to install them,” he said. “Then we check to see that they are being used.” Officials have said malaria is Africa’s leading cause of death for children under age 5, is endemic in 95 percent of Uganda and accounts for 70,000 to 110,000 child deaths annually there. With an acute case of malaria, a child may die within 24 hours. While there are other hospitals in the country, medical care is not always available due to its high expense. In Uganda, the annual per capital income is $240. The non-political, non-sectarian, faith-based Holy Innocents provides medical care to all children, regardless of religious background, on a sliding cost scale based on families’ ability to pay. Freestone said none of their accomplishments would have been possible without the financial and in-kind support of locals. For example, Rancho Bernardo-based Lord Architecture has donated much of its services in drawing up the building plans. Other local companies who also donated their services for the surgical center plans

include Civil Engineer, Orie 2 Structural Engineers, Merrick & Associates and Kruse & Associates. He also said about half of the needed cash has come from San Rafael parishioners, another 25 percent from the greater San Diego area and remaining amount from others throughout the United States and around the world. Haney said they have been able to accomplish so much with the donations because 97 cents of every $1 donated goes directly to help the people of Uganda since everyone involved with the non-profit is a volunteer. “As a charity, we are one of the most efficient around,” Freestone said, adding the hospital became self-sustaining in 2012. “The key to the whole thing is that when we walk away (eventually) it can stand (financially) on its own feet.” The hospital is not only providing affordable, quality medical care to the children of Uganda, but throughout the region. Due to its reputation, parents in Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania are also bringing their ill children to Holy Innocents for treatment.

The holidays are a time for charitable contributions to help those less fortunate. This coincides with the annual deluge of mail and phone calls from various charities asking for critical funds for their causes. But how do you choose a charity? How do you know they will really put your money toward a good cause? According to a recent annual report on the “State of Nonprofits and Philanthropy” by University of San Diego’s School of Leadership and Education Sciences, there are nearly 10,000 registered 501(c)(3) public charities in San Diego. This is a large number of charities to sift through to choose the “right” charity. My suggestion would be to first weed out the organizations not worthy of your support. Many of us already have a handful of charities we donate to annually. These are organizations we have already done our “due diligence” and know where our dollars are going. For 2016, make a New Year’s resolution to create a charitable giving plan and choose who, when and how you want to support. You would not buy a new car without “kicking the tires” to see if it works, would you? Once you know the charities you are interested in supporting, start test-driving the organizations. For instance, when communicating with a charity representative, let them know when you would like to donate. A legitimate charity will be happy to receive your donation at any time. Organizations that pressure you to “give now” should be crossed off your list. Not only should you be able to give when you can, but you should also receive updates on the impact your gift is making. Charities should be able to tell you how donations are used. Ideally, at least 85 cents of every dollar raised should go directly to programs and services of the charitable organization, with the minimal amount remaining to underwrite operational expenses. An easy way to scope out a charity is to request an in-person tour to see first-hand what the organization is doing. Better yet, show up unannounced. Also request copies of the organization’s 990 form and annual audit. A reputable organization will be happy to accommodate and any hesitancy in providing an in-person tour or these documents is a cause for concern. Here are other quick tips to help you choose a charity and avoid being scammed: • Make sure the organization has a street address – do not send to a P.O. box. • Never send cash or wire funds. • There should be no hard sell. A reputable charity will be delighted to accept any day. • Leverage your contribution. For example, right now at Serving Seniors, thanks to a generous long-time donor, all donations will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100,000. As president and CEO of Serving Seniors, I would like to thank all of you who have graciously supported us in 2015. Downey is president and CEO of Serving Seniors, a nonprofit agency dedicated to increasing the quality of life for San Diego seniors living in poverty for the last 45 years.

Climate Action Plan makes sense BY STEVE STATLER On Dec. 15, the San Diego City Council will vote on Mayor Faulconer’s Climate Action Plan (CAP), which is the city’s blueprint for reducing greenhouse gases. The CAP sets a goal for the city to achieve 100 percent renewable energy on the city-wide electrical grid by 2035, meaning that all of our homes, schools, and businesses would be powered by clean energy. It might sound like a lofty goal, but San Diego would be joining a growing number of cities across the globe that are striving for this, or, in some cases, have already achieved it. Besides the need for cities to do their part in reducing greenhouse gases, the pursuit of this goal will bring us tangible local benefits. For example, Poway Unified School District (PUSD) saw its electric bill go up 29 percent from 2014 to 2015. Nearly all the school districts in our county are fighting SDG&E at the state utilities commission over excessive rate hikes that are draining money from our classrooms. Besides investing in energy efficiency and rooftop solar to control energy costs, PUSD is preparing to make use of energy storage, a rapidly emerging technology that, as well as saving costs, is sure to play a big role in attaining a carbon free electrical grid. PUSD’s energy storage system uses lithium ion batteries, which will be installed at ten schools so they can charge up on inexpensive nighttime electricity and feed power to the schools when electricity rates are at their highest during the day. Work like this is creating local jobs. At the same time the district expects to save over $1 million in ten years by doing this. As the parent of a child in the Poway school district, I find the idea of reducing the money spent on energy for

classrooms — so we can pay the teachers that work in them — very appealing. If San Diego sets a 100 percent renewable energy goal, it will provide the impetus to achieve more of these money-saving, clean energy innovations for the district schools that are within San Diego’s boundaries. Clean energy is good for our local businesses. In order to attract and retain the best workers, businesses consider quality of life features, such as good public schools, when choosing a city to call home. They also weigh heavily the cost of doing business. According to the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, San Diego has the highest industrial electricity prices compared to peer cities in California. Also, our average commercial rates exceed those of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Renewable energy, like rooftop solar, is now a central business strategy for controlling energy costs because it is a fixed price. Mayor Faulconer said it well when he issued a statement about the CAP recently: “This plan strikes the right balance between protecting our environment and growing our economy. San Diego’s environmental and business communities are once again taking the exceptional step of joining together in support of this plan because we all agree that clean technology, renewable energy and economic growth are vital to our city’s future. We’re going to hand down to our children a San Diego that is cleaner than it was when we received it.” We stand at a historic juncture. With this Climate Action Plan San Diego can become a national leader on clean energy while tangibly improving the lives of our citizens. Statler is CEO of Give the Change, a Rancho Bernardo resident and a Sierra Club volunteer.

STRAIGHT TALK BY DICK LYLES

Why global warming is not a dire emergency No issue other than abortion has divided Americans more than the issue of global warming. Likewise, no other issue has suffered as much from politicization and obfuscation of reality. This is a shame, because it has caused a “dumbing down” the climate change conversation. Most of today’s babble is not smart. Smart people enter a debate with the goal of arriving at the best answer rather than their preconceived answer if the best answer is supported by facts. Smart people also know that it is best to solve problems

in the context of the whole, rather than to solve problems in one arena only to create problems in another. Most important, for smart people, new information frequently drives new decisions. After 25 years of unfruitful dialog and unproductive debate, a few reasonable voices are starting to emerge with new information, viable explanations of global phenomena, and common sense strategies for moving forward. One such exposition of new information appeared in November in Scientific American, a

mainstream and respected scientific journal. Matt Ridley, in an article titled “Climate Change will not be Dangerous for a Long Time,” presented the following: Fact: The rush to grow biofuels to help decarbonize the atmosphere has raised fuel prices and contributed to rainforest destruction. Fact: By restricting funding from aid agencies to build fossil fuel plants in Asia and Africa, progress has slowed in bringing electricity to more than one billion people who

TAKING THE POINT BY ALLEN HEMPHILL

Another bad report card for state’s schools The good news is that the National Report Card of the U.S. Department of Education has rearranged the presentation on their website to make it simple to compare states. The bad news is that California is no better than it has been for the last decade and more — so bad that it is easier to list the states that are worse than the states that test higher. The good news of the new presentation absolves me of downloading information into Excel, then sorting — the website has done that and so those unfamiliar with the vagaries of spreadsheets can read the results directly. It’s the continuing bad news that makes me grimace! For example: California fourth-grade readers were beaten out for the bottom spot only by New Mexico. Yes, that

means we were behind Mississippi, District of Columbia, Louisiana, Alabama, etc). Just for comparison sake, since we are often compared to Texas -- they ranked much higher at 37. California eighth-grade readers were beaten out for last spot by New Mexico, Mississippi and the District of Columbia.Texas stood 38th — again much higher, although not particularly good. So, let’s move to the other subject matter graded by the testing: math. California fourth-grade math students beat out Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, the District of Columbia, New Mexico and Alabama for dead last. For comparison, Texas stood 11th. California eighth-grade students managed to defeat the following for last place -West Virginia, New Mexico, Mississippi,

Louisiana, Alabama and the District of Columbia. Texas stood 23rd. I suppose that my previous “Thank God for Mississippi” must now be replaced with “Thank God for New Mexico,” the only state we regularly beat. It should be noted that the highest we stand (2015 testing) in any grade and subject is 44th, there is one thing we stand very high in, and that is teacher pay. We stand fourth highest in teacher pay, according to www.teacherportal.com. Conclusion: We are not getting what we are paying for! The delta between pay and performance is simply too large not to mention. Nationally, Massachusetts stands Number 1 in fourth-grade reading and third in eighth-grade reading, while

live without it, resulting in four million deaths per year from the effects of cooking over wood fires. In other words, current policies are killing people. Fact: In 1990 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted a rise in global average temperature of .3 degree Celsius per decade if the world proceeded with “business as usual,” which it has. Since then the rise has been about .1 or .2 degree C depending upon whether surface or satellite data is used. The IPCC recently lowered its forecast to .1 to .2 degrees C per decade in all scenarios. Fact: Most climate change models have proven to be inaccurate since they were originally designed and have not been revised in accordance with data that has been collected during the past 25 years. Fact: If climate change surprising, at least to me, is that Department of Defense schools stand Number 2 nationally in fourth-grade reading and Number 1 in eighth-grade reading. Nationally, Massachusetts stands Number 1 in both fourth and eighth- grade math, and Department of Defense schools stand fourth in both fourthand eighth-grade math. The Department of Defense schools are a civilian school system that runs schools in two separate departments -one in the continental U.S., and the other overseas. It would be interesting to find out what Massachusetts - or for that matter, even the Department of Defense schools, do differently. Texas is the state most often compared to California, and Texas stands higher than California in every category, sometimes substantially higher. Interestingly, California has an undocumented population of 6.8% and Texas is at 6.7%, a statistical draw.

continues at the same rate as it has over the past 50 years, then dangerous warming is about 100 years away. Fact: Today, 87 percent of the world’s primary energy is derived by fossil fuels, which is exactly the same amount as it was 10 years ago. Fact: According to the latest IPPC report, the likelihood of the world reaching a “tipping point” that would trigger abrupt climate changes are “very unlikely” to “extremely unlikely.” Unfortunately, climate change has become a political litmus test against which people on the extreme left or extreme right measure peoples’ bona fides. Democrats, headed by Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton, say global warming is real, man-made and presents an imminent threat to the world. They are supported by Third World

countries who support these initiatives because they want the money wealthy nations will give them to develop “clean” energy. Hard core conservatives such as Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe consider it a hoax. We should all look at global warming honestly — in the context of the most recent data —for what it is. Global warming is long term concern — not a dire emergency — that can best be addressed by developing ways to lower the cost of producing low-carbon energy. We should abandon current policies and attitudes that kill people and businesses and solve problems that matter today.

Poway disaster coordinator readies city for El Niño BY EMILY SORENSEN Powegians can rest assured that the City of Poway will be ready for anything this winter, thanks to Susy Turnbull. Turnbull is the city’s new disaster preparedness coordinator, who began her position on Sept. 23. Turnbull has a variety of duties on her plate, including working with various emergency response teams and organizations in Poway, meeting with the county and training city staff in preparation of having to work in the city’s emergency operations center (EOC). Part of Turnbull’s duties include updating Poway’s disaster plan, as well as coordinating with officials from San Diego County to ensure that they will have a plan in place for El Niño this winter. “We have to make sure we have a unified plan to ensure we can work together and not clash,” said Turnbull. She has also met with several of the emergency preparedness groups in Poway, including the Poway Neighborhood Emergency Corps and the Poway Amateur Radio Society, as well as Poway’s CERT teams. She also works with Pomerado Hospital to ensure the hospital and the city can collaborate during emergencies. “It’s a lot of coordinating with anyone that would be involved in an emergency,” she said. Another part of her job is making sure the citizens of Poway are ready for emergencies.

Susy Turnbull, the city's new disaster preparedness coordinator, with some of the city's emergency supplies. “It’s about keeping Poway prepared,” she said. “We prepare the community so that there is less of an impact on first responders when something does happen.” Turnbull said there were several things Powegians could do to prepare themselves and their property for the upcoming winter season, including making sure drainage ditches are clear, cleaning out gutters and trimming back tree limbs that could fall and cause damage. “The most important thing is to be properly prepared,” she said. “You are

responsible for being prepared.” Turnbull also suggested that every family should build a kit to help them survive for three days in their homes during an emergency, as it could take some days for emergency services to reach them if roads go out. “It’s hard to send the message (of how important preparing for an emergency is) when the weather is nice,” said Turnbull. “When it starts raining, people will pay attention.” Prior to making sure the city is ready for an

emergency, Turnbull spent 20 years doing disaster preparation for the American Red Cross. She worked in an operational role for several national responses, including Superstorm Sandy, hurricanes and wildfires in California. “I love the field, and I love what I’ve been doing for the past 20 years,” said Turnbull. “But I’m getting older and I wanted to settle down. I saw the job and I applied for it, it’s the best move I’ve made in years. I love it here.” Turnbull said she started as an office assistant for the Red Cross, then just “fell into” working in disaster preparedness. “In 1996, I got to work in the field for the first time in the canteen during a wildfire in La Costa,” she said. “It changed my life. I’ve never gotten over it, the fact that I can make a person’s life better when they’re going through what is probably the worst day of their entire life.” Information on how to prepare for El Niño, including the availability of sand and sandbags in Poway, will be available within the next few weeks on the city’s website at www.poway.org. Empty sandbags with loose sand can be picked up at Garden Road east of Floral Ave. (across from Garden Road School); Midland Road, south of the Hamburger Factory at the far end of the large parking lot; and Lake Poway Road, east of Espola Road (overflow parking lot).

Boy Scouts find Poway history during project BY EMILY SORENSEN What started as an Eagle Scout Project ended with digging up some pieces of Poway history. Jens Hartvig, of Boy Scout Troop 682, was working on his Eagle Scout project along with members of his troop in early September, digging holes to put a new bulletin board in Old Poway Park near Aubrey Road when they discovered old iron horseshoes, buried in the muddy earth. “We were putting in a new bulletin board when we found them, about two feet down,” said Hartvig, a 17-year-old junior at Poway High School. “There were four horseshoes and some fragments.” Hartvig said that initially, when he and his fellow scouts hit something metal in the ground with their shovels, they thought they were in trouble. “We thought we had hit a gas

Jens Hartvig line or something,” said Hartvig. “We tried to figure out what (the metal) was, and then we discovered it was horseshoes. They looked pretty old.” The scouts kept digging up fragments as they finished digging, said Hartvig. “We kept finding more down there. It was pretty cool, but also annoying because we kept having to dig them out and remove them (to finish the post holes),” he said.

Hartvig and Troop 682 donated the horseshoes to the Poway Historical Society, who told them the horseshoes were probably about 150 years old. “They said they were probably from the early pioneers,” said Hartvig. Jeff Frye, the president of the Poway Historical Society, said they disposed of some of the fragments that were in bad shape from over a century in the earth, but kept a couple of the horseshoes that were in good shape. The horseshoes are currently not on display in the museum, but could be in the future. Hartvig, who is still working toward his Eagle Scout badge, said it was “pretty cool” to discover a piece of Poway history. “It felt good to be able to go to the museum and say we found this. It kind of commemorated the project.”

Regional Teddy Bear Drive brings joy to young patients

More than 60,000 bears and stuffed animals collected as part of the San Diego Regional Law Enforcement Teddy Bear Drive will find their way into loving little arms at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. Josh and Michelle Rathweg of San Marcos came to Rady Children’s Tuesday to show their appreciation to the hospital, where the staff saved their daughter’s life, and to the law enforcement officers who help collect stuffed animals for the children. Bryn, their 4-year-old daughter, was diagnosed with a rare cancerous brain tumor at 10 months old. Although she has fully recovered now and is cancer-free, Rathweg said a year of treatment and being stuck in a hospital room was not terribly inspirational for a child. But a teddy bear from the Teddy Bear Drive found its way into her room. “You can never tell what a kid is going to latch onto and find special,” said Josh Rathweg.” So a teddy bear allowed her to really have an imagination, to play to have

some fun in a place where it really is hard sometimes when you’re being treated.” “She saw everyone caring for her all the time because she was sick and what we noticed as parents is she would care for the teddy bear. She would wrap it up, she would pretend like she was, you know, giving it a Band-Aid. She would hold it and rock it. It was all the things that we were doing for Bryn, we started seeing her expressing it with the actual bear,” said Josh Rathweg. The 25th annual drive was hosted this year by the San Diego County Probation Department and the Coronado Police Department. Probation Chief Mack Jenkins said he was moved by the Rathweg’s story because it epitomizes why officers collect the bears. “I’m very pleased that my department is involved,” Jenkins said. “Seeing the officers’ enthusiasm to do this and seeing the little kids’ faces here are two of my favorite things about this Teddy Bear Drive.”

Poway — Timothy Brian Kingston, born September 26, 1964, passed away on November 13, 2015, at the age of 51 after a three month battle with brain cancer. He left this world at peace with his wife and best friend, Kelly, by his side. as a graduate of arizona State University, Tim was an avid Sun Devil and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity brother. He enjoyed lifelong friendships with his Capistrano Valley High School friends, including a group that has met annually for over 30 years. Tim had a successful 20+ year career at avnet Electronics filling multiple management and strategic account positions. For the past four years he was with Veterans Trading Company. Tim was a valuable member of the ownership team and served as the Boeing Program Manager, providing leadership

and support for 50 professionals dedicated to the procurement of spare parts for Boeing Commercial aircraft. His ability to lead by example may have been his greatest contribution, as his integrity, compassion, and quiet dignity set him apart.

Tim is his brother, Mike and his wife Kelly; sisters, Kasey Hendley and Kelly Maxey and her husband Steve; along with many loving nieces, nephews and extended family. His wife Kelly’s family also considered him one of their own and they all mourn him deeply. Tim was pre-deceased by his father, Neil, and his mother, Patty, who passed away eight days before her son. His hobbies included golf, mountain biking, hiking and camping. He was a devoted father, spending time in classroom activities, field trips, assistant coaching and cheering for many years at water polo games, lacrosse games and cross country meets just to name a few. Tim loved his kids’ friends and relished a crowded house full of assorted teenagers. He loved playing basketball with the kids. He enjoyed watching football and boxing matches, playing

ping pong, and drafting fantasy football leagues which always led to friendly competition with the kids and their friends. all who really knew him tend to agree: Tim was authentic, generous and a gentle soul. He was an out-of-the-box thinker, both professionally and personally. He listened much more than he talked, and his laughter was contagious. He will be profoundly missed. a Celebration of Tim’s Life will be held at StoneRidge Country Club, 17166 Stoneridge Country Club Lane, Poway, California, on December 18, 2015, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. (ceremony begins at 3:30).

’Tis the season for naughty and nice questions

rom Thanksgiving until New Year’s Day, cooks and bakers crank up their ovens, pull out their mix masters, roll up their sleeves, and scratch their heads over queries relating to techniques, ingredients, sources, food safety and gustatory moral dilemmas. Here are my answers to some of your naughty and nice questions.

■ Naughty Ones

Q. I have an extensive collection of treasured family recipes from my grandmother’s Eggplant Parmesan to Pistachio Biscotti. Friends and acquaintances are constantly asking me for these recipes, but I really want to keep them in the family vault to be passed down to our children. Should I just tweak the recipes a little, leaving out or changing certain ingredients, or just tell them I don’t share recipes? A. Tisk, tisk, Grandma would probably not want you to purposely alter her recipes to save your family’s culinary secrets. Be sincere and explain your desire to keep these recipes sacred as part of your family’s heritage. In the holiday spirit of giving, perhaps you can part with one or two recipes, giving credit, of course, to the creator by naming the dish after them, such as, “Grandma Sophie’s Famous Cherry Cheesecake.” Q. My sister-in-law always brings her chocolate chip cookies to my holiday gatherings. That’s sweet of her, but they are rock hard, and sometimes burned on the bottom. I really don’t want to serve them. Any suggestions to spare her feelings and save my guests’ teeth? A. They are probably burned on the bottom because she uses a dark-colored baking sheet (which absorbs more heat than light-colored ones) without parchment paper lining. A good holiday present for sis-in-law would be a new cookie sheet with a roll of parchment paper. As well, gently suggest that she swap out white sugar for brown, which makes cookies softer and chewier from the molasses content. Q. Can I use cheap wine in cooking? A. The age-old maxim, “Don’t cook with wine you wouldn’t drink,” still applies today. While you don’t need to cook with a fine bottle of La Fleur-Petrus ($350), you should not be using wine out of the box either. Cheap wine typically has too much sugar content, and you don’t get the true flavor profile of the varietal. A middle-of-the-road wine ($6-$10) is a good rule-of-thumb to follow. For risotto use a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay; poach fish in a light white wine with savory herbs and lemon slices; chicken pairs well with red Zinfandel, while braise beef or lamb with a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.

■ Nice Ones

Q. Are there any food-related gestures I can do for friends or family to show my appreciation for their lovely deeds throughout the year? A. Homemade goodies or healthy dishes are always wonderful expressions of gratitude. If someone you know has a bad

cold or flu, it would be a kind and healing gesture to prepare a pot of immune-boosting soup with plenty of organic chicken, garlic, fresh ground ginger, turmeric and root vegetables. Bearing gifts of baked seasonal treats, such as, cranberry pecan scones or muffins, pumpkin bread, gingerbread cookies, biscotti or shortbreads festively wrapped are always welcome. Or offer to do grocery shopping for a friend in need. All of the above would be much appreciated. — For additional queries, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

SDS D-II CHAMPIONSHIP: RANCHO BERNARDO 41, MT. CARMEL 23

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED SoCal Regional up next for RBHS BY MICHAEL BOWER

BILL WECHTER

The Broncos celebrate their victory over Mt. Carmel in the San Diego Section Division II championship game Saturday at Southwestern College.

Big second half lifts Broncos to section title BY MICHAEL BOWER Despite rebounding from a combined 2-19 record over the previous two seasons, the Rancho Bernardo High football team was not satisfied with its runner-up finish in the San Diego Section Division II playoffs last year. In fact, just days after the 14-7 loss to El Capitan in the final, the Broncos held a meeting to discuss their goals for the 2015 season. And it was there that the slogan "Finish the Mission" was born. On Saturday, Rancho Bernardo did just that. The Broncos put together a second half to remember, outscoring Poway Unified School District rival Mt. Carmel 20-0 en route to a 41-23

The Broncos are the home team and could have hosted, but did not submit a request to host to CIF due to a scheduling conflict, according to Rancho Bernardo principal David LeMaster. So, they will make the some 115-mile trip to the school located at 7625 Cataba Road in Oak Hills. But should the Broncos win, their principal tweeted out that they are “slated to host the championship game.” Oak Hills defeated Serrano 40-21 in the Southern Section Eastern Division championship game on Friday. The Bulldogs have won eight straight after starting the season 1-5, which includes a 36-10 loss to Serrano. The Broncos, fresh off defeating Mt.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Stewart’s toughness, sharp shooting helping Titans BY MICHAEL BOWER The blood had soaked through Dana Stewart’s sock by halftime of Saturday’s Poway High girls basketball game against Scripps Ranch. But rather than rest her right foot, which was in pain from a blister and leaking blood from a surgery done the day before to remove an in grown toenail on her big toe, Stewart simply changed her Band-Aid and kept going. “I don’t feel like everybody could have been able to play with blood all over their sock,” said Titans coach Jay Trousdale, who is closing in on 600 career victories. “But somebody like Dana I have no concerns about that keeping her out of the game. It was a huge help, especially with all of the injuries we have right now.” Words like “tough” and “athletic” are often used to describe Stewart, the starting shooting guard for Poway. She also is a setter for the volleyball team and was the starting third baseman for the Titans’ softball team, which captured the San Diego Section Open Division championship last season. “She is one of the best athletes in our school,” said Poway softball coach Jim Bennet, who also coached Stewart on the junior varsity girls basketball team last year. “She plays three sports and just wants to have fun. She has no plans to play in college. She is a throwback from the 1960s. You don’t see too many three-sport athletes anymore.” The 5-foot-6 Stewart has developed into one of the best shooters and defenders on the Titans. The junior has been playing basketball since the third grade and gives credit to her dad and all her coaches up to now for her sharp-shooting ability. She credits Trousdale for working with her on her confidence.

WADE MEARS

Poway High guard Dana Stewart. “One thing I do lack is confidence,” Stewart said. “My coaches, my parents and all of my supporters encourage me to shoot more. During the summer, Trousdale talked to me and told me he wanted me to be one of the main shooters and I think something clicked that I needed to take that role.” Stewart’s jumper has helped Poway start the season 3-0. “She is one of those girls on our team that we want taking

a lot of shots as long as they are not forced,” Trousdale said. “But she has very good shot selection and she knows she needs to be one of our shooters this year.” Trousdale is known for his high-pressure defensive schemes. Stewart fits perfectly into the role, as she is not afraid to play aggressively from one end of the floor to the other. “I think playing strong defense is important,” Stewart said. “It is huge in our program. I like to play in-your-face defense. I think it is fun.” Juggling three sports and school work can get exhausting. Stewart admits it takes its toll sometimes, but she also says it is refreshing in a way. “It is definitely a challenge,” said Stewart, who carries a 3.70 GPA. “But it is fun to go from one sport to the next, because it is completely new and each group of girls are great and each coach has so much knowledge to offer. I love it.” Stewart especially loves the girls on the court with her right now. Many of them have been playing together since the sixth grade. They were split up when Stewart was a freshman since some went straight to varsity and others to junior varsity. But now pretty much everyone is back together on varsity. “It is great that we are all back together,” Stewart said. “We really connect and understand each other. It is great to be SEE STEWART, B12

SHERRI DUNLAP

Miguel Berry, right, is the returning leading scorer for Poway High.

PREP BOYS SOCCER PREVIEW

Broncos, Titans cream of crop once again BY MICHAEL BOWER The Rancho Bernardo High and Poway boys soccer teams are once again the cream of the crop in the area. The two rivals should compete for a Palomar League championship. Maranatha, the defending Ocean League champions, and Del Norte both return eight starters. The Eagles moved to the Pacific League and should challenge for the championship behind returning Ocean League Player of the Year Isaac Schwan. Here is a closer look at the local teams: Poway ■ Coach: Eugene Morris, 12th year ■ Last season: 16-7-2, lost in first round of Open Division playoffs. ■ Division: I ■ Key players: MF, Miguel Berry, Sr.; MF, Gersom Galindo, Sr.; MF, Joey Arnold, Sr.; MF, Bradley Campillo, Jr.; F, Jamie Logan, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Titans return their leading goal scorer in Berry, but lost their No. 2 (Kellen Gallagher) and No. 3 (Ian Hayne) guys to graduation. Poway will move Berry from forward to midfielder in hopes he can spark some offense around him. Galindo, Arnold and Logan will be depended on heavily to contribute in the scoring department. “We think by putting Miguel at attacking mid he will mix in better and help those other guys score more goals,” said Morris, who entered the season 10 wins away from 200 for his career. Poway is loaded with talented midfielders with Berry, Galindo, Arnold and Campillo. But the Titans, whose rocky defense led to their undoing last season, could stumble again in the back. “That is an area we might struggle at again,” Morris said. “A big key for us is staying healthy, because we do not have much depth.” Poway has five returning starters and 13 seniors. The usual suspects are in the mix for the Palomar League title, including Torrey

Pines, Rancho Bernardo and Poway. **** Rancho Bernardo ■ Coach: Kurt Trecker, 11th year ■ Last season: 12-7-4, lost in Division I quarterfinals. ■ Division: I ■ Key players: MF, Jacob Lindberg, Sr.; D, Chris Abosamra, Sr.; MF/F, Matt Araiza, So.; GK, Tyler Dean, Jr.; F, Michael Moroz, Jr.; MF, Cengiz Sayim, Jr.; MF, Noah Tekle, Sr.; MF, Pouria Fariborzi, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Broncos have a lot of firepower and feature one of the top goalkeepers in the county in Indiana-bound Dean. Lindberg, Araiza and Moroz will lead the offensive attack, but Rancho Bernardo has plenty of other players capable of finding the back of the net. Lindberg opened the season last week with a hat trick and figures to be the go-to guy early on as Araiza is still playing football and Moroz will not be joining the team until January. “We should be able to play fast and furious,” Trecker said. “I think we are going to score a lot of goals this year.” Dean will play his first high school season with the Broncos. He committed to the University of Indiana for baseball and soccer as a freshman. “Tyler’s ability in the goal is really good, but the other stuff he does on the field — communicating and positioning the defense — is going to be key to our defense,” Trecker said. Returner Abosamra will anchor the defense, as Rancho Bernardo should challenge for its first Palomar League title since 2010. Usual suspects Westview, Torrey Pines and Poway figure to be standing in the way. “We need to get some wins under our belt before league and we need to make sure that when we do get to league we are firing on all SEE BOYS, B5

PREP GIRLS SOCCER PREVIEW

Returning stars to lead way for local teams BY MICHAEL BOWER The Del Norte High, Rancho Bernardo and Poway girls soccer teams are all returning the majority of their players from a season ago. That especially bodes well for the Broncos who were a win away from playing for the San Diego Section Division I championship. The Nighthawks, who won the Avocado East League title and earned the No. 1 seed in the Division I playoffs last season, should have plenty of firepower up top with Florida-State bound Dori Moul and returning leading goal scorer Karli Renken leading the way. Returning striker Janelle Bernal and midfielder Lauren Hess will lead the Titans, who are playing in their first season under coach Aaron Jaffe. Here is a closer look at the local teams: Poway ■ Coach: Aaron Jaffe, 1st year ■ Last season: 12-8-2, lost in quarterfinals of Division I playoffs. ■ Division: I ■ Key players: MF, Lauren Hess, Jr.; D, Tea Carrillo, Sr.; F, Janelle Bernal, Jr.; D, Brooke Stickney, Jr. ■ Outlook: The Titans return their leading goal scorer from a year ago and first-year coach Jaffe is hoping to be a surprise team in the Palomar League. Bernal, who led the team with nine scores last year, will once again be the premier striker

for Poway. The junior now has two full years of varsity experience under her belt, so a huge season is not out of the question. “She is very crafty,” Jaffe said. “She runs well and is very explosive and very deceptive.” Hess, who has committed to play for Georgetown University, will move from defender to midfielder. She is also playing her third year on varsity. “She will be playing a position called the six,” Jaffe said. “It is essentially the anchor of the midfield. She is like our quarterback and linebacker. She can read the game well and step into passing lanes. We are looking to build our possessions through her.”

Poway hopes to be in the mix for the Palomar League title along with Torrey Pines, Westview and Rancho Bernardo. “I honestly think we could be a surprise team,” Jaffe said.

**** Rancho Bernardo ■ Coach: Mark Sidebottom, 5th year ■ Last season: 9-8-6, lost in semifinals of Division I playoffs. ■ Division: I ■ Key players: MF, Amanda Roy, Sr. D, Gabriela Maas, So.; MF, Brianna Lee, So.; MF, Samantha Lee, Sr.; F, Madison Samilo, Jr.; F, Riley Dixon, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Broncos return nearly their entire roster and are on a mission to redeem last year’s heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss to Steele Canyon in the Division I semifinals. Rancho Bernardo outshot Steele Canyon 26-6

in the contest and could not put away several opportunities in overtime. It kept the Broncos from getting a chance at capturing their first section championship in school history. “It was a bitter pill to swallow,” Sidebottom said. “That was probably our best chance in the last 10 years at getting to a final. It was there for the taking, but it is what it is and all we can do now is try again this year.” Samilo led the team with nine goals and is expected to be even better this season. She should be joined by Roy and Dixon as the premier goal-scoring threats for the Broncos. Although, Rancho Bernardo had eight different players find the back of the net last season and Sidebottom expects a similar distribution this year. The Broncos should be in the mix for a spot in the coveted eight-team Open Division and should challenge for the Palomar League title. “My expectation is we can be better than last year,” Sidebottom said. “We have a lot of talented players coming into our program, so we are more competitive within our program. Hopefully, we will be more competitive on the field with other schools.” **** Del Norte ■ Coach: Gary Rossi, 7th year ■ Last season: 13-6-4, Avocado East League champions; lost in quarterfinals of Division I playoffs. ■ Division: I ■ Key players: F, Karli Renken, Sr.; D, Dani Baldwin, Sr.; D, Carter Hackett, Sr.; F, Kelley Carusa, Sr.; F, Dori Moul, Sr.; MF, Julia Kappes, Jr.; D, Taylor Hanson, Jr.; F/MF, Bella Munar, SEE GIRLS, B12

DISCOVER THE NEW CARMEL MOUNTAIN

MILESTONE MEN Poway High coaches Wayne Branstetter, left, Eugene Morris, center and Jay Trousdale, right, are closing in on milestones. Trousdale, the long-time leader of the girls basketball program, entered this week just two wins away from becoming the second coach in the history of the San Diego Section to reach 600 career wins. The all-time section leader for career girls basketball coaching wins is former Santana coach Wade Vickery with 610. If the Titans won their game against Ramona Tuesday, Trousdale can collect win 600 today (Thursday) when Poway hosts University City at 7 p.m. Legendary wrestling coach Branstetter was expected to reach career dual win 450 on Tuesday and boys soccer coach Morris is closing in on 200 career victories. Morris, in his 12th season, entered this week 10 wins away from the accomplishment.

FROM BOYS, B3 cylinders,” Trecker said. **** Del Norte ■ Coach: Chuck Eaton, 1st year ■ Last season: 6-8-7, lost in first round of Division III playoffs. ■ Division: III ■ Key players: GK, Nick Carlson, Sr.; D, Daniel Zin, Jr.; MF, Antonio Sorano, Jr.; F, Brad Graham, Sr.; MF, Billy Sanchez, Jr.; F, Jaden Stokes, So.; D, Luke Lutz, Jr. ■ Outlook: The Nighthawks return eight starters, but are still a young group with some growing to do. First-year coach Eaton has been with the program for five years and has expectations. “I wouldn’t call it a rebuilding year,” he said. “We are a little stronger than last year and expectations are high for them this year.” Zin is expected to anchor the defense, but he is out with an injury for an unknown amount of time. So, for now, Lutz will be the defensive stopper. Carlson split time in the net last year, but will take over the starting role this season. And sophomore Stokes is expected to be the leading goal finder for the Nighthawks. The offense will play through center midfielder Sorano. “He is our go-to guy,” Eaton said of Sorano. “He is the heartbeat of our team along with a few other guys.” Del Norte is in the challenging Avocado East League. San Dieguito Academy and defending champion San Marcos are expected to be battling it out for the league championship. The Nighthawks should finish in the middle of the pack and be competitive in the Division III playoffs. “We want to go as far as we can go in the playoffs this year,” Eaton said. “But I think

next year we will make a great run in the playoffs.” **** Maranatha Christian ■ Coach: David Cabral, 9th year ■ Last season: 13-8, lost in first round of Division IV playoffs. ■ Division: IV ■ Key players: GK, Andre Escoffier, Sr.; D, Isaac Schwan, Sr.; F, Matt Schumacher, Jr.; F, Connor Woodahl, Jr.; MF, Brett Doig, Jr.; D, Christian Cortes, Jr.; MF, Jake Brambila, So.; MF, Josiah Hepner, So. ■ Outlook: The Eagles are returning eight starters, including their leading scorer, top defender and goalkeeper. “We really have high expectations,” said coach Cabral, whose team lost a heartbreaker 2-1 in the first round of the playoffs last season. “No disrespect to last year’s seniors, but I think we should be stronger this year and challenge for a Pacific League championships.” Schumacher, who through the first four games has four goals, found the back of the net 23 times last season. He along with Brambila are expected to be the leading scorers for the Eagles. Schwan, who was the Player of the Year in the Ocean League last season, will anchor the defense once again. “Isaac is a stabilizing, dominant force in the back with his speed and knowledge of the game,” Cabral said. “With his speed and physicality he just dominates.” Maranatha was co-champion of the Ocean League with Del Lago Academy last year. The Eagles move to the Pacific League and should be in the mix for a league championship along with Escondido Charter. Maranatha is also looking to make a run in the Division IV playoffs. “I think with the right bracket we can make some noise,” Cabral said.

‘The Nutcracker’ dances into PCPA Dec. 12, 13 BY EMILY SORENSEN The Southern California Ballet will once again be filling the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, 15498 Espola Road, with the Christmas magic of “The Nutcracker” at 1 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12 and 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 13. Tickets range from $20 to $38 for adults, $16 to $32 for students, seniors and military, and are available at the PCPA box office, as well as by calling 858-748-0505 or online at www.southerncaliforniaballet.org. Starring in the show will be members of the Southern California Ballet’s company, as well as their families. “Southern California Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” is a family tradition for audiences and performers alike,” said Kate Hirsh, executive director, in a press release. “Barry Long, a patron, former board member and father of an SCB graduate, arranges his overseas work schedule to portray Herr Drosselmeyer and the Mouse King.

The SCB will be joined by alumnae and international ballet star Martha Leebolt as

the Sugar Plum Fairy. This is Leebolt’s second year performing in “The Nutcracker” with her former dance company. “Her Sugar Plum Fairy performance is not to be missed,” said Sylvia Palmer, founder and artistic director of the Southern

California Ballet. “We are very fortunate that she is able to return and perform for us.” “To come back and (perform in “The Nutcracker”) as a professional so many years later is fun,” said Leebolt, who graduated from Rancho Bernardo High School in 2000. “I like to perform with the girls and see how they’ve grown. It takes me back to a special time in my life, when I danced here. The most exciting time for us was preparing for ‘The Nutcracker,’ sharing that time with friends.” Leebolt, who has danced with the Northern Ballet in England for 15 years, also returned to her old company a couple of months ago to teach a couple of classes for the young dancers of the Southern California Ballet, as well as coaching some of the older dancers in the company. This is only the second year Leebolt has been able to come back to perform in “The Nutcracler” with the Southern California Ballet. “I hoped I would be able to come back (for “The Nutcracker”) this year, but in England we have 52-week contracts, so I have very little time off. When the opportunity came up, I jumped on it, because time off is so few and far between,” said Leebolt. Leebolt said the stars of the show are the Southern California Ballet dancers. “This is their show. They’ve been working on it since probably September, slowly getting better. It’s their show and I’m fitting into it, so it’s very special for me (to be a part of it),” said Leebolt.

Hershey Felder will portray Irving Berlin at La Jolla Playhouse, Dec. 16-Jan. 3.

Will he sing ‘White Christmas’? Hershey Felder brings Irving Berlin music to Playhouse holidays BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT There’s no place like here for the holidays, when Hershey Felder plays Irving Berlin at La Jolla Playhouse. Felder, a gifted pianist, actor and playwright known for bringing composers like Chopin and Beethoven to life onstage along with their music, will appear as the man who wrote “White Christmas” in a special engagement Dec. 16-Jan. 3. Except for his dark hair, Felder doesn’t really resemble the diminutive Berlin, whose piano skills were famously limited to black keys only (Key of F). But in that key, and a lifetime of 101 years, he produced music and lyrics to about 1,500 songs, including scores for Broadway shows and Hollywood movies like “Annie Get Your Gun,” which introduced what became a theme song for theater folks, “There’s No Business Like Show Business.” Berlin also wrote “God Bless America,” the song Congress sang on the steps of the Capitol after 9/11 as if it were our national anthem. His life could have been a movie. A cantor’s son, born in Russia in 1888, he escaped to this country with his family and was forever grateful. In New York’s Lower East Side, he didn’t have much schooling; at a young age, he was out in the streets selling newspapers, and gradually found that singing for pennies was better than peddling papers. He taught himself piano, and sold his first song at 18. There were heartbreaks in his

early years, but hit by hit, he overcame them, and the poor Russian-Jewish immigrant became an American icon. Felder calls Berlin “the American Mozart,” but says he didn’t always feel that way. He had to be coaxed into doing the show. “In the beginning, I wasn’t particularly taken with him,” Felder said. “I thought he wrote jingles. It was the arrogance of ignorance. When I started doing some research, I discovered a genius.” Irving Berlin wasn’t “just” a songwriter, Felder said. “I think of him as a composer who wrote songs. You just have to look and listen to what he did. He had a perfect musical ear and instinct. Schubert was a songwriter, too!” Besides being a genius, Berlin was a good man, Felder added. “I don’t think there’s a false note in any of his work. He wrote about things that really meant something to him, and we experience his life through his music. And his story reflects who we are in this country.” If you happened to see Felder’s one-night-only performance of “Irving Berlin” in 2014, as part of the Lipinsky Family Jewish Arts Festival, this show is far more developed. “That was just a concert with storytelling,” Felder said. “Now there’s a character. It’s nothing like anyone else is doing, and nothing like I’ve ever done before.” ■ IF YOU GO: Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin is on stage Dec. 16-Jan. 3 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse on the UCSD campus. Tickets: (858) 550-1010. lajollaplayhouse.org (Hot tip: Want a quick look at the real Irving Berlin before showtime? See him on YouTube, playing his piano on “The Dinah Shore Show” in the 1950s.) ♦

linebacker. "It is totally different," McCoy said when asked to compare winning a title as a coach and a player. "But probably a little more gratifying to do it as a coach." The Broncos (11-2) will play in their first Southern California Regional contest in school history and with a win will play for a state title. Rancho Bernardo travels to play Oak Hills of Hesperia (9-5) at Oak Hills High School Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in a Division III-A regional game. Early on it looked like Rancho Bernardo was going to cruise to the Division II title, as it took a 21-0 lead in the first 11 minutes of the game. Torey Franklin returned an interception for a 75-yard score, Jeff Molino hauled in a 25-yard TD pass and Grice had a 1-yard run for a score. But the Sundevils (9-4) stormed back behind a flurry of big plays by Rashid Shaheed, including a 99-yard kickoff return for a score and a 90-yard TD reception, to take a 23-21 lead into halftime. "We had it right there," said Sundevils senior quarterback Lucas Johnson, who led the school to its first section championship game since 1982. "We had it and then we just came out flat and let it go. We just let it slip away." The Broncos grabbed the momentum and the lead for

So.; MF, Malika Pirodan, Sr. ■ Outlook: The Nighthawks rolled to an unbeaten season in the Avocado East League and earned the No. 1 seed in the Division I playoffs last year. But their postseason came to a quick end, as they fell to Rancho Buena Vista in the quarterfinals. Now Del Norte looks to repeat its regular-season success and redeem itself in the playoffs. The Nighthawks have the talent to do just that, especially with the return of

Florida State-bound Moul. The senior striker, who missed most of the last two seasons due to injuries, will be part of what should be a prolific attack for Del Norte. USD-bound Carusa will make the move from defender to forward and Renken will return up top, giving the Nighthawks a trio of outstanding goal scorers. “I think that is going to be the strength of our team,” Rossi said. Renken led the team with 12 goals last year. Senior Stephanie White was second with 11, but she is out for the

That ignited the Rancho Bernardo defense, which proceeded to hold the Sundevils to just 22 yards in the second half. "That was a game changer," Broncos quarterback Mark Salazar said of Grice's long touchdown run. "That got our fans back into it. That got our sideline into it." It was the second win of the year by Rancho Bernardo over Mt. Carmel, the first a 45-20 win en route to a second

straight Palomar League championship. Broncos kicker Matt Araiza broke the section record for field goals made in a season, as he connected on his 16th and 17th of the year in the second half (record was 15 set by former St. Augustine kicker John Cortney in 1997). Grice put the finishing touches on the win with a 25-yard run with 3:45 left. "Our motto since the end of last year was to Finish the Mission," Grice said. "And we did it. And now we are champions."

season with a torn ACL. Del Norte should also be strong defensively with Cal State Fullerton-bound Baldwin as the anchor. Returning defender Hackett also helps solidify the back line. The Nighthawks are the favorites to win the Avocado East League. They could get a challenge from San Marcos. But the ultimate goal is getting back to the playoffs and winning the school’s first section championship. “That is what we want to do,” Rossi said.

High School At stake: Spot in Division III-A state title game. Last week: Rancho Bernardo beat Mt. Carmel 41-23 for SDS Division II title; Oak Hills beat Serrano 40-21 for Southern Section Eastern Division title. About Oak Hills: QB Brandon Porter averages around 200 yards passing and 68 yards rushing per game. Running back Aramis Aldredge is averaging around eight yards per carry. The two main targets for Porter are Jeremiah Lorick and Kevin Davis. The two have combined for over 75 catches and 10 TDs. Oak Hills has finished the season strong after starting the year with a 1-5 record. Prediction: Rancho Bernardo 27, Oak Hills 17.

“We don’t talk about it, but I think we all want that for him,” Stewart said. And no blister or bloody sock is going to keep Stewart from helping him get there.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this 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

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20100015003984. 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.

To avoid overcharges at the check-out counter, pay attention to what’s happening during the transaction and check your receipts.

County warns shoppers to watch for overcharges ■ If you’re hitting the stores this holiday season, remember to always double-check your receipts to make sure you’re not getting overcharged by faulty cash register price scanners. ■ Overcharging happens. San Diego County’s Department of Agriculture, Weights & Measures inspects thousands of businesses to protect consumers by checking all the machines and devices that scan, weigh and measure the things people buy to make sure they are charging people accurately. And every year it finds stores and machines that charge people inaccurately. ■ Last year, nearly one out of every five stores inspected — 19.5 percent — had overcharges, averaging $3.05

per overcharge. That can add up, especially if you’re holiday shopping.

TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST OVERCHARGING:

■ Always verify receipts and immediately notify store management of any price discrepancies. ■ Take sales advertisements with you when shopping to verify prices. Know that stores cannot legally charge more than their lowest advertised, posted or quoted price. ■ To report overcharges you can’t resolve with the store, call Agriculture, Weights and Measures at 1(888) TRUE-SCAN (1-888-878-3722) or e-mail sdcawm@sdcounty.ca.gov From County Reports

BUSINESS

Poway Bicycle offers knowledgeable, hands-on service BY EMILY SORENSEN Looking for a new bicycle, or need your old one repaired? Poway Bicycle can help you out. Poway Bicycle, at 13238 Poway Road in the Lively Center, recently celebrated its first anniversary. “Poway had a bicycle shop for about 20 years that closed,” said owner Luis Ibarra. “We saw a void and filled it.” Ibarra, a Poway resident who graduated from Poway High School in 2002, said his store is a family shop that offers the full spectrum of different kinds of bicycles from children to adults. It also sells accessories for biking and does bicycle repairs. “Bikes aren’t just about recreation,” said Ibarra. “They’re about practicality. They’re commuter transportation.” Some of the biggest sellers at the shop are hybrid and mountain bicycles, due to Poway’s many local trails, said Ibarra. Ibarra said that after spending 15 years in the

ASK MR. MARKETING BY ROB WEINBERG

Give me chickens for Christmas Happy Holidays or, for my more ardent friends, Merry Christmas. ‘Tis the season of giving, gatherings, and vacations. My daughter arrives soon to gush about her recent successes. I’m incredibly proud of my aspiring opera star, and can’t wait to learn more of her adventures. And Hanukkah’s this week, reminding us of the Hebrew phrase Tikkun Olam (Healing the World). Into this dynamic my bride asked a simple question: “What do you want for the holidays?” For me the answer is chickens. My mailbox recently received a catalog for non-profit Heifer International. Heifer’s dedicated to ending hunger and poverty among the world’s poorest. Their mission’s simple: improve lives with reliable sources of food and income with livestock and agricultural training. Heifer operates in 30+ countries (including the U.S.) to help families and communities become

self-reliant. They’ve won presidential awards from Reagan and Bush “41.” Heifer offers llamas, goats, sheep, pigs, rabbits, fish, ducks, geese, chickens, honeybees, water buffalo, and (predictably) heifers. You can donate the entire animal or contribute a share of it. They’ll also arrange for irrigation pumps, stoves, native trees, and educating youths. So rather than requesting electronic gizmos I don’t really need, I’m asking friends and family this year to buy me (for just $20) a flock of chickens for an African family. Chickens require little space and thrive on food scraps. They help control insects and fertilize gardens. I’m learning that a single hen can lay 200 eggs annually. Meaning a flock of 20 chicks generates food for the family and lots of eggs to sell. In these troubled times, it’s worth considering that desperate people will do

desperate things. Which means removing hunger, thirst, and ignorance from the equation helps remove incentives for those who might do anything to keep from starving. With the American economy continuing to improve, each of us is increasingly in a position to share a little bit more with the less fortunate. Some will choose to work at a soup kitchen on Christmas Day. Others will give toys to children who might otherwise have none. But for those who still have room in their lives for a bit more charitable giving in 2015, please consider visiting heifer.org and making a small contribution. Come on, don’t be a chicken. Donate one. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Happy holidays from the gang at www.askmrmarketing.com .

One of the things that sets Poway Bicycle apart from big box stores that sell bikes is the quality of the bicycles. “All the bikes we sell use bicycle-grade components rather than plastic,” said Ibarra. “We’re here to nurture your bicycle through its entire life. We stand behind every bike we sell.” Buying a bicycle from Poway Bicycle also includes service and maintenance. “We do everything from bike restoration to bike maintenance,” he said. “We’re big maintenance guys. I strongly believe that I’d

rather bring a bike back to life than have someone buy a new one.” Ibarra said that Poway Bicycle has the best maintenance pricing available locally. Services offered at Poway Bicycle range from a single speed basic tune-up to a full-service overhaul, as well as a variety of other service options, including autorack and autorack roof installation, kickstand installation, training wheel installation, brake adjustments and much more. Another thing Poway Bicycle can offer its customers is hands-on, personal attention from its staff. “We find out how you plan to use the bicycle, or how you dream of using it, and point you in the right direction,” said Ibarra. “Many people dream of using their bikes in one way, but end up needing something else.
