Looking ahead toward 2016 in Poway

For the most part, 2016 will look a lot like 2015 in terms of tasks to be taken on by Poway city leaders. On the “to do” list are making progress toward building a new community/senior center in Community Park, completing a study on the future of Poway Road, the continuation of water conservation efforts and dealing with the aftermath of the state dissolving the redevelopment agency. Dan Singer City Manager Dan Singer said he hopes that enough progress will be made in 2016 toward building the new center that ground can be broken in mid-2017. To reach that point, an estimated $2 million will be needed for construction plans and
related work. A key first step for the City Council will be to decide whether to spend any unallocated budget reserve money toward the estimated $20 million needed to build the center. The council will meet at 6 p.m. on Jan. 28 to discuss how best to spend about $17 million in general fund reserves that were designated earlier this year for possible use. Singer said that whatever money the council assigns to the community center will reduce the residual costs, which might be financed through a revenue bond, the use of other city funds, or a combination of both. City leaders have been talking about replacing both the Community Center and Senior Center with one larger building for more than six years. Public workshops were held, a few designs were prepared, but the project was shelved twice, when the recession hit and then later when the state eliminated local redevelopment programs.
Interest in replacing the aging centers in the park resurfaced about two years ago. In September, the council unanimously endorsed a mission-themed exterior design. “I look forward to moving forward on our new community center,” Mayor Steve Vaus said this week. “It promises to be a vibrant hub for recreation and for our seniors.” The coming year will also see the conclusion of the “Poway Road Corridor Study,” an 18-month process involving a consulting firm, an ad hoc committee and local residents working together to plan the future of the city’s main thoroughfare. A community workshop held in July drew a full house to the council meeting room. Suggestions advanced out of that meeting have been shaped into general design ideas that were discussed at a Nov. 3 council workshop and will be further refined before being presented at a second community SEE NEW YEAR, A8

A TALE ABOUT A HEAD
Abraxas High School Principal Dave MacLeod told student leaders at the school that he would agree to having a henna tattoo applied to the top of his head and dress as an elf if the students could collect 100 toys for donation to needy children. The students responded with 129 toys and MacLeod held up his end of the agreement. See story and more photos on Page A3.

This year, the snow play area will be separated from the snow hill to allow frolickers more space to play and throw snowballs without the risk of hitting those trying to sled. Skates and sledding equipment will be available to use for free. The layout of the festival
has been reworked this year to provide more space for everyone. A second skate-lacing area has been added to the ice skating area as well, due to concerns about long waits last year. The city will also be making it snow every hour, to further increase the feel of a wintery mountain town. There will be an exclusive time from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday to allow those with special needs to enjoy the snow and skating without the crowds of the regular event. There is no need to pre-register for the special needs time, only to sign in at a table when you arrive. Special needs attendees are welcome to bring a friend or sibling to share in the wintery fun. If you need a breather, there will be an arts and crafts area set up for kids, SEE WINTER, A8

With the new year dawning, the Poway Unified School District board will be facing several challenges this year, while continuing to maintain the district’s high standards. “Poway Unified enters 2016 ranked as the no. 15 school district in the state and with all five of our comprehensive high schools ranked in the top 100 in the state (according to niche.com). Our students are high achievers in many categories, our dedicated teachers and staff spearhead innovative learning programs, and our community is engaged, collaborative, and supportive. Even with this current standard of excellence, continuous improvement in 2016 remains our goal,” said Board President Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff in a statement to this newspaper. O’Connor-Ratcliff said the board will also work toward their goal of maintaining accountability to the community by sharing progress initiatives throughout the upcoming year from district goals as outlined by the Local Control Accountability Plan. The board will also work to keep district parents engaged and involved in their children’s schools, said O’Connor-Ratcliff. “Parents’ support is invaluable to our schools, teachers, and staff and a strong factor in the academic success of our

students. Their leadership in PTAs, foundations, and booster clubs will continue to be recognized and appreciated,” she said. O’Connor-Ratcliff also said that the district will be working to maintain and expand community and business partnerships that offer support for student programs that might otherwise be difficult to sustain. “We will work to maintain and expand these partnerships with groups like College Bound, SOLE Effects, Jack O’ Smash, Rotary, the City of Poway, San Diego City libraries, community and town councils, and generous private businesses,” said O’Connor-Ratcliff. The district will also continue to share its most successful and pioneering programs with other districts and seeking out other districts’ best practices for possible implementation in the district, said O’Connor-Ratcliff. This district will also be facing some challenges in the coming year. The recall effort against board member Andy Patapow will continue to gather signatures during the first few months of 2016, and must gather 10,767 valid signatures before April 26 in order to have an election held. Patapow and fellow board member Kimberley Beatty will be up for reelection in November. Patapow has said he will retire from theboard. There have not been any official declarations from challengers yet.
With the holiday season concluding, numerous Christmas trees are waiting for disposal via free recycling so they can be turned into mulch instead of going to the landfill. For all curbside programs offered to Rancho Bernardo, Poway and 4S Ranch residents, trees are to be cut into 4-foot sections and bundled. Trees cannot have any ornaments, tinsel or stands. No artificial trees will be accepted. The City of San Diego is offering its 42nd annual free Christmas tree recycling program to city residents. Officials said that last year around 385 tons of Christmas trees were collected. This year the program runs through Jan. 23. Depending on where they live, residents may drop off their trees at any of 16 locations during daylight hours. Drop off locations — for residential use only — include Rancho Bernardo-Glassman Recreation Center (look for the designated area in the upper lot), 18448 W. Bernardo Drive, and Canyonside Recreation Center, 12350 Black Mountain Road in Rancho Penasquitos. The city accepts flocked trees. Many in single-family homes may also place their tree at the curb on their greenery collection day if they have manual greens
collection. If they have automated greens collection, the tree is to be placed in their container so that the lid completely closes. Those in multi-family complexes need to contact their manager since service varies. For questions, call the City of San Diego at 858-694-7000. There are no drop off locations in Poway or 4S Ranch. Poway and 4S Ranch single-family residents served by EDCO may participate in curbside recycling on their regular collection day through Jan. 8. Flocked trees are accepted. Trees must be placed in green waste containers or bundled with twine in sections that are no more than 4 feet long and 18 inches in diameter. Those living in an apartment or condo can place their trees in their designated green waste container if their complex has a collection program for landscape material. For questions, call EDCO at 760-744-2700. 4S Ranch single-family residents served by Republic Services can place their trees with their curbside yard waste collection on their regular collection day for first two weeks after Christmas. No flocked trees will be accepted. For those in multi-family complexes, residents need to contact their manager or HOA for details. For questions, call Republic Services at 858-278-6061.

Abraxas principal rewards charitable students BY EMILY SORENSEN The students at Abraxas High School got into the Christmas spirit in a unique way this year. As a reward for donating over 100 presents to Toys for Tots, Principal Dave MacLeod surprised his students at lunch on Dec. 16 with a newly shaved head, henna tattoo and elf costume.
After students in the school’s leadership team collected 129 toys for the Toys for Tots program, MacLeod fulfilled his end of the bargain and showed up at school with a newly shaved head, ready for his henna tattoo. This is not the first time MacLeod has rewarded student actions with an outrageous stunt. In June 2014, after students raised

over $1100 in the school’s Pasta for Pennies fundraiser, which raised funds for cancer victims and research, MacLeod allowed students to pierce his ear while he wore a superhero costume (he has since removed the earring). The henna tattoo, which is semi-permanent and will fade after a couple of weeks, was applied to his head by members of the school’s Henna Club. Though MacLeod originally wanted a Star Wars-themed tattoo, it was deemed too difficult for the students to complete in the short time frame before the lunch period. Instead, MacLeod and the students decided to do an arrow from the show “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” with designs chosen by the students. The outline of the arrow was done by Anita Bhakta, a teacher at Abraxas High School and head of the Henna Club, with Henna Club members Josh Pisana, Tristian Stevens and Gillian Horn doing the inside design work.
Abraxas High leadership team members collected toys 129 to Toys for Tots, winning the bet made with Principal Dave MacLeod. Bhakta said the Henna Club was created a little over a month ago, and has between 10 and 15 members that meet at lunch every week to do henna. “All the henna artists except one are new to henna,” said Bhakta. “They’ve all made amazing progress. It’s taking off like wildfire.” More than just traditional designs, Bhakta said she and the students use the Henna
Club to spread positive messages on campus. “It’s a real positive force on campus,” said Bhakta. “The students write positive words and phrases on their arms to help encourage themselves to achieve their goals.” One of the Henna Club members who worked on MacLeod, Josh Pisana, said he joined the club after hearing about it from a friend. “There’s such a chill
vibe to it,” he said. Pisana said it was a lot of fun to do henna on MacLeod. “It’s not every day you get to say you drew on your principal. It’s pretty fun.” MacLeod drew both laughs and admiration from the students after donning his elf costume, many of whom clamored for a photo with their principal’s new (temporary) head tattoo.

Elected officials discuss issues, focuses for 2016 BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK From library expansions to providing better care to the mentally ill in order to increase public safety, county, state and federal elected officials have a diverse list of issues they plan to tackle in 2016. At the county level, Supervisors Dave Roberts, who represents Rancho Bernardo and 4S Ranch, and Dianne Jacob, who represents Poway, both listed library expansions. Roberts said he is working with members of the 4S Ranch community and San Diego County Library officials to expand the heavily-used 4S Ranch library branch. Jacob said the major remodeling at the Poway Library (also a county branch) will soon conclude. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 6. The remodel includes new carpeting, lighting and a computer lab, all done in partnership with the City of Poway. Jacob will lead a special forum for seniors and caregivers on how to avoid scammers this spring at the Poway Senior Center. Also participating will be sheriff’s department and district attorney’s
Scott Peters office representatives. Other county projects and issues Jacob will be involved with include an expansion of the Iron Mountain trail head parking lot and the county’s work with the City of Poway to connect the area’s network of hiking and equestrian trails. Officials are seeking grant money and other funds to buy up to 800 acres of open space near Iron Mountain. Also mentioned was the county soon breaking ground on a new state-of-the-art crime lab in Kearny Mesa that will serve the region, the development of plans for a regional firefighter training center and Jacob’s continued efforts to
Dianne Jacob protect the health and safety of seniors by stepping up county oversight of assisted living facilities and through the work of The Alzheimer’s Project. It is a county-led initiative aimed at finding a cure for the disease and addressing its devastating impact on families. As for other county projects Roberts is focused on, they include driving efforts to expand mental health services and invigorating the economy by opening a regional film office to encourage and expand motion picture production. He also mentioned continued efforts to save Webb Lake in
Rancho Bernardo, for which county supervisors unanimously approved in November a $45,000 Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grant to drill a well for the lake. At the state level, Assemblyman Brian Maienschein said his stated focus for 2016 is to continue helping the vulnerable in California, making government more transparent and making the state a better place for students and small business. “Since my election to the Assembly, I have focused on addressing many issues, including education, jobs, homelessness, mental health and animal welfare,” he said. “In 2016, I will continue working on legislation to protect our communities.” Examples include Assembly Bill 861, a pilot project to support housing for individuals with severe mental illness through a federal grant program, and Assembly Bill 317, allowing veterinarians from outside of California to set up temporary animal shelter facilities during a state of emergency. He also will work on a bill to increase government transparency. “Rather than creating new mandates for local governments, the state should encourage
innovation and use of the Internet to keep the public informed,” Maienschein said. Regarding education and small business issues, he wants a sales tax holiday on Small Business Saturday and reforms to ensure good teachers have the resources they need to create positive learning environments. “Congress has long been broken, and I went to Washington, D.C. with the intention of fixing it while advocating for the priorities that matter most to San Diego,” said Rep. Scott Peters. “There is a lot of work to do still, but this past year I was part of getting real things done that will help San Diego as well as increase the chance for bipartisan compromise in 2016 on issues like adequate funding to defeat terrorism and comprehensive tax reform.” Peters said the spending bill he helped pass this month will increase the defense budget by $21 billion, more responsibly fund wildfire fighting and make crucial investments in renewable energy and research that will grow the economy and create high-quality jobs in San Diego. “In addition to funding the right priorities for national security and the San Diego economy, I want to SEE OFFICIALS, A13

FROM NEW YEAR, A1 meeting and council workshop. By summer, the council should begin its review of four related documents: the corridor study report, proposed amendments to the Poway Road Specific Plan, a report regarding streets in the study area and an economic implementation study. Once adopted, these reports will serve a guideline for development of Poway Road for decades to come. On a related front, the coming year will see the council begin to deal with several city-owned properties, including some prime spots along Poway Road, that will need to be sold under terms of the 2012 state-ordered dissolution of the city’s redevelopment program. Also to be decided are the futures of two Poway Business Park parcels: a large lot used by auto dealers for storage and a restaurant pad near the Hampton Inn & Suites. Other topics likely to be addressed at City Hall in the coming year include: • Progress toward the

News Briefs Gulls now in Poway
The San Diego Gulls began moving into the new Poway Ice Arena this week and will hold their first practice on Tuesday. The arena opened to the public in November but the portion of the Kerran Street building dedicated to the new American Hockey League team was delayed a bit. The upstairs includes lockers, meeting rooms and team offices. The team is the top affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks and is one of several AHL teams to move last year to California.

Bernardo Heights Country Club sold
Makeover begins for Poway power station BY STEVE DREYER
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Bernardo Heights Country Club has been sold to ClubCorp, which has a network of more than 300 owned, operated and alliance clubs throughout the country, in addition to more than 1,000 hotels, resorts and entertainment venues. Before the Dec. 17 sale, the club that has operated since the 1980s in Rancho Bernardo was member-owned. Jim Sahagian, the club’s board president, said members approved the sale — for an undisclosed amount that is reportedly in the millions — so the facility can be upgraded without additional future calls to members for capital improvements. “We’ll no longer need to have intensive member participation in operating

While the club and 18-hole golf course has undergone upgrades in recent years — including installation of a well for irrigation purposes and significant cutbacks of its grassy portions — Sahagian said more improvements are needed to increase membership beyond the roughly 350 equity and non-equity members it had prior to the sale. Planned upgrades include expanding the available dining spaces, both inside and outdoors. “The exterior patio has a great view,” he said. Plans call for a new and expanded outdoor patio with lounge

seating and fire pit. “It will be more contemporary.” Interior reconfigurations will also occur to better serve those in the dining room, casual dining area and bar. A new, expanded grill will feature new, handcrafted menus and large screen TVs, officials said. Other renovations in the multi-million dollar endeavor include new fairway bunkers and completion of renovations to the greenside bunkers, a new golf cart fleet and new golf course amenities. There will also be new events and programming with a focus on fun for the whole family.
The San Diego Gas & Electric substation on Twin Peaks Road at Budwin Lane is getting an extensive makeover. Once construction concludes in mid-2017, the substation will have a lower profile, fewer poles and will be wrapped by a masonry wall and landscaping, utility officials say. Preliminary site work started in October and grading plans have been submitted to the city. A vacant portion of the lot that had been used for overflow parking from Twin Peaks Middle School and Tierra Bonita Elementary School was closed during the summer. According to a handout provided by SDG&E, the transmission portion of the substation will be rebuilt in a lower profile. Three new steel transmission poles will replace 20 wood and steel poles. The power lines inside the property will be moved underground. The construction project will not include adding rumored battery storage to the site, an SDG&E spokeswoman said. The upgraded substation will provide more capacity to serve both existing and future needs and will improve system performance during extreme weather conditions, the utility said. The conversion of the overhead lines is expected to take several months. Grading work will follow, then construction of the new substation will take another seven to 10 months, the utility said. The anticipated project completion date is June 2017.

OPINION

GUEST COLUMN
A question of trust in Poway BY CHUCK MCKIRDY By law, every city official in California must swear to "bear true faith and allegiance to … the Constitution of the State of California." So what should city officials do when they learn that their city has violated that constitution, and has illegally taken money from many of its residents? If that city is Poway, the answer is a disturbing one: ignore the constitution, reject basic precepts of fairness, and keep the money. In 2007-2009, Poway used a water rate structure which charged some residents more per gallon of water than the cost of providing that water to them. Earlier this year, in the City of San Juan Capistrano case, the California Court of Appeals held that a similar rate structure violated the California Constitution. Subsequently, the California Supreme Court held that the appellate court’s decision was precedent. In view of these judicial decisions, Poway’s 2007-2009 water rate structure apparently was unconstitutional. Fundamental fairness requires that any money illegally taken pursuant to this structure be refunded. I raised these points with Mayor Vaus and the City Council. The written response that I received from the mayor is unsettling. Expressing no regret, Mayor Vaus did not deny that the rate structure was unconstitutional. Nevertheless, he declared that the city will not refund any money to those from whom money was illegally taken on the ground that the city has a statute of limitations defense. According to the mayor, all that matters is whether the city is "legally" required to pay such refunds. Whether it is fair or not to keep the money illegally obtained and refuse repayment is irrelevant. As far as officials holding positions of public trust are concerned, fundamental fairness should never be irrelevant. The city should pay back any money that it took illegally even if not legally required to do so. It is the right thing to do and there is precedent. The City of Los Angeles made repayments of sewer overcharges even though it had a good statute of limitations defense to the refund claims. Moreover, our city often makes expenditures when not "legally" required to do so. For example, Poway is not "legally" required to spend money on events such as the Farmer’s Market or Christmas in the Park. Nor is it "legally" required to spend, as it apparently intends to do, about $17 million of the city’s reserves just because it has the money. It justifies such expenditures as "good" public policy and they may be, but it is difficult to conceive of a better public policy than for the city to pay back money that it has illegally taken from its constituents. This is an important point worth repeating: the money taken here was not money from third party outsiders, but rather from our neighbors, from some of "the good people of Poway" as the mayor likes to refer to us. Moreover, the money was taken with the solemn assurances that the water rate structure was "lawful" and did "not violate" the state constitution. To keep this money not only is bad public policy, it is a breach of public trust. McKirdy is a Poway resident and an attorney.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Missing the point on Trump
Has columnist Amy Roost (Dec. 18) packed yet? Didn’t think so. Just like the officers in my wardroom who swore to resign if “draft dodging” Bill Clinton was elected. He was, they didn’t. Canada may walk the walk, not sure about Ms. Roost. If anyone should leave, it’s us independent voters. One party’s candidates want me to pay for my neighbor’s son’s education, his daughter’s abortion, his wife’s surgery and his mortgage — one he would not have qualified for a few years back. The other party has a clown car full of candidates where ideological purity trumps electability. Oddly enough, it’s the conservatives’ current leader who is the open mouth, insert foot outsider. Meanwhile, the liberal party’s leader is a well rehearsed, ultimate Beltway insider and a Wall Street favorite. Go figure. Those who belittle Mr. Trump miss the point. The Donald is mining a huge vein of discontent within the body politic. People are frustrated with Washington. I bet many of his supporters don’t agree with everything he says. But his blunt talk is refreshing and portends something different. It is ironic, the staid GOP has an agent of change as their current leader, while the Democrat’s top two candidates have spent decades in Washington. While I find the prospect of a Trump or Clinton administration disheartening, I don’t fear either. I believe in checks and balances, neither will be a dictator. But just in case, does anyone have Ross Perot’s number? Thomas Drzewiecki Poway
Tribute to a hero
On Christmas Eve Poway lost one of its heroes. Navy Lt. Robert (Bob) Hylton (retired) passed away in his sleep at the age of 95. Bob was a longtime member of Poway VFW Post 7907. I met Bob about five years ago when I joined the VFW. I soon learned that Bob was a World War II veteran and then, after a few conversations, I learned much more. It took a while to pull all the
stories about the war out of Bob; he was a very modest man. I heard about how he survived the December 7 attack of Pearl Harbor while assigned to the USS battleship Pennsylvania. He then told me the story about his participation in the Normandy invasion on D-Day. Imagine that he participated in and survived two of the most horrific and historic battles of the 20th century. I feel very honored to have known Bob and my conversations with him will stay with me forever. Last February the VFW post threw a 95th birthday party for Bob. It was attended by members of the Poway City Council, Bob’s family and many friends and vets in our community. I think I can speak for all who knew Bob that we were all blessed to have known him. He was a legend at the post and he will be sorely missed by all. Dave Grosch Poway City Councilman

What a way to cap off a great year at Rancho Bernardo High School because this year is our 25th anniversary and the Rancho Bernardo High School Friends of the Library is celebrating its 10th anniversary. It is so great that our football team gave this community so much to talk about; everyone had a smile on their face.

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP - DECEMBER 31, 2015 - PAGE A11
SOCAL FOCUS BY THOMAS ELIAS
Good news, bad news in latest school test scores There was good news and bad news — and in other ways no news at all — in the latest results of standardized tests given each year to California public school students. It was, for example, no news at all that even though this year’s test was more rigorous than ever before and based on new Common Core standards adopted by this state and 41 others, students from wealthier households and school districts did fine, while those with deprived parents and districts did not. This was demonstrated by the fact that, for example, kids at the Canyon Elementary School in the well-to-do Pacific Palisades
area of Los Angeles saw their performances in last spring’s testing drop only two percentage points on the tougher new test, from 95 percent scoring at projected grade levels to 93 percent. Similarly, an average of 60 percent of students in the wealthy — but not nearly as wealthy — Fresno suburb of Clovis, where most families are white or Asian American, performed at grade levels, while those in two nearby districts with heavy majorities of Latino students came in at an average of 20 and 22 percent in combined English and math scores. Formal name for the new test is the California Assessment of Student Performance and
Progress. These results perfectly illustrated a fact that educators have long known: Parents, and the emphasis they put on education, are more important than any other single educational factor. In this way, the scores on the new test were no news at all. There was also good news. The new tests contain questions that require deeper thinking about themes in literature and the concepts of algebra and geometry. Exams are designed so that no two students should ever be presented with exactly the same test, containing the same set of questions and answers.
CONSIDER THIS BY BARRY CRONIN
Troubled by reports about Hillary’s behavior “The true measure of character is how people treat someone who can do them absolutely no good.” I do not know what sage originally said this, but it does beg the question, have truer words ever been spoken? When was the last time you watched a stranger or, heaven forbid, someone you know abuse or ignore a waiter? A grocery store bagger? A sales clerk? The nameless, eminently forgettable “nobody” on the street? Someone who, as in the adage, “can do them absolutely no good?” As for me, two things inevitably happen. One, that man or woman is diminished, becoming a little less admirable than they had been just a moment before. It is particularly disappointing when it is done by someone I know and respect. And two, the final line of my favorite Rudyard Kipling’s barracks ballad comes to mind. “An’ Tommy ain’t no bloomin’ fool, you bet that Tommy sees!” Personally, I did not vote
for Barack Obama in either 2008 or 2012, but it had nothing to do with his party affiliation or race. I simply did something most of his supporters did not do. I read his book. Having done so, my decision to vote for anyone but him was an easy one. I have not yet read Hillary Clinton’s book, but I probably will at some point. In the meantime, I have been leafing through some other books on Hillary Clinton and I have to report the picture they portray is hardly a flattering one, particularly when viewed under the litmus test of character as proposed within this column. “(@#@#@) off! It’s enough I have to see you (@#@#@) every day! I’m not going to talk to you, too! Just do your (@#@#@) job and keep your mouth shut!” Hillary Clinton to her state trooper bodyguards after one of them dared greet her with “Good morning.” “Put this on the ground! I left my sunglasses in the
limo. We need to go back!” Hillary Clinton shouting at the Marine helicopter pilot to turn back while in route to Air Force One. “Where’s that miserable (@#@#@)?” Hillary Clinton shouting at a Secret Service agent while referring to the president of the United States. “What the (@#@#@) did we come here for? There’s no money here!” Hillary Clinton shouting at a Secret Service agent while pulling into a 4H fundraiser in upstate New York. “Stay the (@#@#@) back, stay the (@#@#@) back away from me! Don’t come within 10 yards of me, or else! Just (@#@#@) do as I say, Okay?” Secret Service agents and police were routinely ordered to stay away from her. I actually saw this myself while watching her talking on her cell phone walking back and forth on the MCAS Miramar flight line. The Secret Service agents were never within a good half football field length of her. There are even accounts of
This aims to help address longstanding complaints about “teaching to the test,” the practice many schoolteachers have felt forced to adopt over decades of being judged by how well their students perform on standardized tests. The thrust of those complaints was that students were being force-fed rote learning designed purely so they would do well on tests, thus furthering the political and personal goals of teachers, administrators, politicians and public employee unions, all of whom have an easier time of it when students perform better. With the new test stressing critical thinking and knowledge of basic concepts, rather than answers to specific questions, teachers who want to teach to the test now must emphasize thought and understanding of why the answers to some questions are what they are. Then there was bad news: The persistent gaps between ethnic groups seen in all how White House staffers were not permitted to make eye contact with the First Lady, almost as if she were the reincarnation of King Nebuchadnezzar himself. Perhaps this one quote from a White House Secret Service agent sums it up best of all. “Hillary did not speak to us. We spent years with her. She never said thank you.” I, for one, will not be voting for Hillary Clinton in November, but it has nothing to do with political party or gender. She is simply an abusive, nasty, foul-tempered woman and it is impossible to honestly admire or respect her. “Air Force One” is the call sign of the commander-in-chief’s plane. The call sign for the helicopter you sometimes see on the White House South Lawn is “Marine One.” It is rumored the young Marines secretly referred to it as “Broomstick One” whenever Hillary Clinton was aboard. Nonsense, of course. Can you even imagine young Marines ever behaving so disrespectfully? Then again, “Tommy ain’t no bloomin’ fool,” either. Cronin is a Poway resident and the assistant police chief at MCAS Miramar. Reader comments, through letters to the editor or online at pomeradonews.com, are encouraged.
previous versions of standardized tests remain with us. In English, 72 percent of Asian students and 51 percent of Anglos tested at grade level or better, while only 28 percent of black pupils and 32 percent of Latinos did as well. And, proving again the links between economics and education, only 21 percent of students from low-income families scored at grade level in math, while 53 percent of those from more affluent families did. This suggests that the better preschool programs to which wealthier parents often send their children do have lasting effects, generally putting kids at a permanent advantage if their parents can afford to give them a head start. What’s more, students at schools in the most affluent districts dropped less from levels on the previous California-only tests than those in poor districts. Again, there’s the reality of the advantages conferred by
wealthy parents and the disadvantages inflicted on children whose parents must struggle just to feed and clothe and house them. The saddest part of all this was that the lower scores put up by California kids were neither isolated — scores were lower all across the country — nor a surprise. A field test two years ago indicated exactly the problems that turned up in the first year of full-scale testing. That indicates little or nothing was done to improve matters in the ensuing two years. Will anything more be done now? Will California legislators, parents and educators accept overall results that indicate only about 40 percent of high school graduates are equipped to pass college-level courses? That remains to be seen. Elias is a syndicated columnist. For more Elias columns, visit www.californiafocus.net

Holly Lugene Eckstein June 25, 1955 - November 22, 2015
Poway — Holly Lugene Eckstein, age 60, of Poway, Ca, passed away suddenly at Thornton Hospital on November 22, 2015, after a very fast-paced battle with cancer. Holly was born to Eugene and Madalene (Tyler) Eckstein of Renfrew, Pennsylvania, on June 25, 1955. She grew up the youngest of four siblings and attended Seneca Valley High School and later allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania. She did her junior year of college abroad in wales, and graduated with her Master’s in Education in 1977. Holly worked as a science teacher in schools across america as well as internationally, where her passion and enthusiasm for teaching and travel came together. She met Masao Kaji, of Tokyo, Japan, in Israel in 1986, where she was teaching and he was bicycling around the
world. She found her soulmate in him and joined him on bicycle during her summers. They were married on July 30, 1988, in Butler, Pennsylvania. They continued their travels, and Holly continued to ride her bicycle until her eighth month of pregnancy with their first daughter, Serena, in 1991. They welcomed their second daughter, Emina, in 1995 while living in Turkey where Holly was teaching. Holly’s joy and love of life was evident to
everyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting her. She was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis in 2000, and continued to take life head on in everything she did. Holly was constantly on the go, and always striving to show those around her how much life had to offer. She became a teacher with a Japanese home-stay program, and loved showing guests all over San Diego. Holly was a devoted member of her church as well as her Mom’s in Prayer group. She organized parent coffee get-togethers for those involved with the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). She was incredibly passionate about the environment and could often be seen bicycling around Poway, on her way to community activities. Holly loved being active, participating in yoga, Zumba, and always
taking people to go boogie boarding with her. Holly is preceded in death by her mother and father. She is survived by her husband, Masao Kaji; daughters, Serena and Emina; as well as her siblings, Nancy adamczyk of Thousand oaks, Ca, and arthur and allen Eckstein of Butler, Pa. Holly will be dearly missed and remembered. a celebration of life for Holly will be held on January 24, 2016, at Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church at 2pm.

February 7, 1920 - December 24, 2015
Poway — Bob passed away peacefully in his sleep at home early Christmas Eve morning. He was born in west Burlington, Iowa, and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. after attending boot camp for the Navy in San Diego, he told his mother he wanted to retire there someday. He spent his last 40 years in Poway, and his last days admiring the orange trees outside his window. as a boy during the
Depression, Bob journeyed back and forth across the Midwest as a “news butch” aboard passenger trains selling magazines and candy to help support his family. This began his love of travel and meeting new people. In 1939 he joined the Navy to see the world. His first ship was the battleship USS Pennsylvania, which was at Pearl Harbor at the start of world war II. Bob participated in the Normandy Invasion in 1944
at omaha Beach aboard a firefighting and salvage vessel, and he retired as a lieutenant in 1964 after 24 years of service. He recently wrote a detailed account of his life history, focusing on his adventures in the Navy, especially during world war ll. after earning his B.S. in military history at the University of Maryland, Bob worked as a cartographer at the air Force chart plant in St. Louis. He studied urban planning at Southern Illinois University and worked in the San Diego County Planning Department until he retired in 1986. He was a past commander of the american Legion, served as an officer in the VFw until shortly before his death, and was a member of the Fleet Reserve association in Poway for over 40 years. He loved his friends at the Poway VFw and
considered them family. Bob truly loved people. He always said travelling was his favorite thing, and there seemed to be few places in the world he didn’t see. However, if you asked him about the trip, he would never mention the scenery or weather but instead speak enthusiastically about the people he met. His last trip was with Honor Flight San Diego in 2012 to washington, D.C., escorted by his son Bob Jr. He was a dedicated father to his children and a devoted husband to his wife, Berniece, caring for her until her death in 2005. He is survived by his son, Bob (arlene); daughter, Pat (Jim); grandchildren, Matt, Sarah, Seamus and Kaitlin; and great-grandchildren include Cassidy, Cameron, Liana, Richie and aiden.

YANA program brings holiday cheer to seniors BY EMILY SORENSEN About a dozen seniors in Poway got some Christmas cheer thanks to the Poway Sheriff Station’s You Are Not Alone (YANA) program. The Poway Sheriff Station’s Senior Volunteer Patrol handles many tasks for the station, including doing phone calls and visits for the YANA program, which checks on the welfare of housebound Poway citizens. The volunteers make sure the YANA participants are eating, that they aren’t sick or injured, and that they are not being abused or taken advantage of by their family or caretakers. Participation in this program is free. YANA is also helpful for family who live out-of-town, and can’t be there to care for their housebound loved

stamps, hand lotion, a blanket and exercise bands for strengthening arms to the 12 clients currently in the YANA program.
The baskets also included a few donated extras, including candy canes and tinsel. The baskets were delivered
on Dec. 17 and on Monday by members of the volunteer patrol. “We’d like more people to be aware (of YANA),” said Marie Allin, a member of the Senior Volunteer Patrol. Anybody can refer an elder to YANA, though the referred person is never obligated to join. Members of the volunteer patrol will go out to do an initial interview with the referred person to see if they are a good fit for the program. Sometimes, their needs are more than the volunteers can provide, and the volunteers will contact other agencies that can help. Participants in the program can choose whether or not to receive visits, and how often (volunteers generally do not do YANA visits on weekends, so participants can receive
up to five visits a week if they choose). Some only choose to have phone calls. For some participants, a visit from the Senior Volunteer Patrol might be the only contact they have with other people. Volunteers generally spend about 10 or 15 minutes visiting with program participants, socializing and checking on their welfare. “We’re always looking for elder abuse,” said Allin. “Whether that is self-neglect, or abuse from a family member or caretaker. We’re always making sure (the client) is taking care of themselves.” To enroll or recommend someone for this free program, please call 858-232-8000 or email info@PowaySVP.org.

Open champs rule 2015 There is nothing more exciting than knowing you are the best of the best. Three teams from the area earned that label by capturing a San Diego Section Open Division championship this past year. The Rancho Bernardo High baseball, Poway softball and Poway boys lacrosse teams all won Open Division crowns in 2015. For the Broncos, it was their second Open Division title in the last three years and their eighth section championship overall. Drew Finley, who is playing in the New York Yankees’ minor league system now, tossed three shutout innings of relief to help Rancho Bernardo earn a 3-2 win over La Costa Canyon in eight innings for the title. The young Broncos finished the season with a 26-7 record, winning the Open Division championship with five sophomores, two juniors and a freshman in the starting lineup.
“This was a surreal experience,” Finley said after the championship game. “It is indescribable.” The Poway softball team celebrated its first Open Division championship in school history after then-senior Kourtney Shaw delivered a masterpiece in her final prep game. Shaw, who is now playing at Cal Berkeley, tossed a one-hit shutout to help the Titans beat Cathedral Catholic 1-0 in the championship game. It capped an outstanding run for Poway, who finished the year as Palomar League champions and with a 25-6 overall record. It was the Titans’ first section championship since 2002 and first under head coach Jim Bennet. “I think this is a night I will never forget,” Shaw said after the championship game. “This was the picture-perfect ending to my high school career, celebrating a SEE OPEN, B4

The Rancho Bernardo High football team completed a dream season by capturing a state championship on its own turf. The Broncos’ historic run ended with a 35-14 win over Sacred Heart Prep in the CIF Division III-A State Football Championship Bowl Game on Dec. 19. The home side of the stadium at Rancho Bernardo was jam packed and the crowd hung around through the rain
to watch the Broncos celebrate their first state championship in any sport. “This is crazy,” senior wide receiver Devaughn Vele said after the game. “This is the greatest feeling in the world. The stands are packed and we were representing our town and we won a state title. This is unbelievable.” Vele hauled in touchdown receptions of 14 and 22 yards. Quarterback Mark SEE FOOTBALL, B4

Record-breaking year for PHS wrestling The Poway High wrestling team did not capture a state championship, but it turned in arguably its greatest season ever in 2015. The Titans had a school-record nine placers and scored a school-record 189.5 points en route to a second place finish at the CIF State Wrestling Championships. Then-seniors Colt Doyle and Ralphy Tovar captured individual state titles. Doyle concluded his career with a school-record 51 straight victories and a 46-0 record as a senior. He celebrated his second straight state title with a back flip on the mat. “It was the first time I really celebrated all season,” he said. “It was a spur of the
moment thing. I wanted to do something cool since it was my last high school match. I wanted to make it memorable.” Poway won every tournament it competed in other than the state championship tournament. The Titans displayed their usual dominance in the San Diego Section, capturing the inaugural Division II Dual Meet Championships title and their 29th straight section championship by winning the Division II tournament. Thirteen of the 14 champions in the Division II tournament were from Poway. “You can’t ask for more than what they did,” Poway wrestling coach Wayne Branstetter said.
Perfection for RBHS hockey The Rancho Bernardo High roller hockey team went a perfect 20-0 en route to its second straight Metro Conference championship in 2015. It was the first time in school history the Broncos won all of their games and the third time they won back-to-back championships (02-03, 07-08). Rancho Bernardo went undefeated in 2003, but had two ties that season. Goalkeeper Josh Christie turned away 25 shots and Evan Jones scored twice in the Broncos’ 3-1 win over Cathedral Catholic in
the final. The closest game Rancho Bernardo played all season was a 7-6 win over Westview. “Nothing is better than this,” first-year coach Joey Gelsomino said after the championship game. “We have a great program, great kids, great coaches and great administration. The kids played hard all season and they earned it.” The Broncos currently have a 41-game winning streak and are in position to challenge for a third straight Metro Conference championship in 2016.

Improbable section title run for Titans’ baseball Six times the Poway High baseball team could have been eliminated in the San Diego Section Division I playoffs. And six times the Titans found a way to win — many of them in incredible fashion — en route to capturing the crown. There was Blake Wagenseller’s steal of home with two outs in the sixth inning to tie an elimination game with Rancho Buena Vista at 6-6. Poway, who was the No. 6 seed, then exploded for five runs in the eighth and went on to win the game 11-7. Then there was Tyler Nevin’s two-out, two-strike, game-tying home run in the seventh inning against La Jolla Country Day in an elimination game. It was his second home run of the game and it saved the season for Poway, who went on to win 6-5. Then the Titans played La Jolla Country Day for a second time, but this one was for a spot in the championship game. And more of the unthinkable happened. Poway scored seven runs in the fifth inning on three hits, three walks, a hit batter and an error while striking out four times on the way to an 8-7 victory. The Titans trailed 4-1 at one point, but there was no denying their destiny in 2015. There were no more dramatics after that, as Poway breezed to a 10-6 win over Eastlake for the title. The Titans scored a combined eight runs in the first two innings before coasting to their sixth championship in school history. “This is everything I have always

After Wagenseller stole home against Rancho Buena Vista and then Nevin hit that home run against La Jolla Country Day we just felt like it was supposed to be us.” Poway went 23-13 in 2015. The section crown was its first since 2009. “Everything just kind of fell together perfect for us,” Titans coach Bob Parry said. “We knew we had the talent and everything came together at the right time of the year.”

Fifth-seeded Rancho Bernardo rallied from a five-goal deficit to beat Granite Hills 9-8 in overtime for the San Diego Section Division I championship. It was the first title for the school in girls water polo since 2003. “Wanting to win was our biggest motivation, definitely,” then-Rancho Bernardo senior Ana Walker said afterward. “We all wanted to be a team and go like, ‘Yes, we’ve got this!’” Walker and Taylor Brown each scored three goals in the championship match. Hayley Parkinson scored the game-winning goal at the end of the first of two overtime periods.
The Del Norte High boys swim team put together its best season in the short history of the school in 2015. The Nighthawks captured the Avocado East League championship and followed that with their first section title in program history. Sophomore Austin Nguyen led the way, capturing two individual championships while helping Del Norte win the San Diego Section Division II crown. Nguyen won the 200-yard individual medley and the 100 breaststroke title. He was also part of the Nighthawks’ 400 relay team (Liam
McCallum, Christian Leon, Dorian Humbert) that won a Division II title. The Nighthawks’ Andrew Webb chipped in by winning the diving title with a score of 353.35. Del Norte scored 308 points, beating second-place Canyon Crest by 44 points. Nighthawks boy coach Andy Avila was dunked by his players after they captured the league title. “I am so excited for the boys,” Avila said after the Avocado East League Championships. “They have worked so hard for the entire season and this is something that they all earned.”
Broncos’ Blair wins national title FILE PHOTO
RBHS girls water polo coach Fred Gleason hugs his players after the Broncos captured the Division I title. The Broncos went 18-14, including a 4-0 record in the playoffs. It was a surprising finish considering Rancho Bernardo entered the postseason on a three-game losing streak. But that might have given
the Broncos the spark they needed to make a run. It also helps to have one of the top goalkeepers in the county. Sarah Devlin saved 38 shots in the four playoff games and finished the year with a whopping 258 saves. Brown led the team in goals (96) and saves (57).

He entered this high school season ranked No. 2 in the state. “This is a big stepping stone for him,” Rancho Bernardo wrestling coach Joe Eddie Terribilini said after the national title win by Blair. “Between the Masters Championships, state and this tournament he has really gelled into one of the top wrestlers in the nation.”

Akins has stellar year Not many have had a better year than Rancho Bernardo High runner Nia Akins. The now-senior, who will run for the University of Pennsylvania next fall, repeated as the San Diego Section champion in the 800 meter in track in June and more recently captured her second straight San Diego Section Division II cross country title. Akins polished off her remarkable track season with a sixth-place finish at the state championships. Her time of 2-minutes, 8.91 seconds broke her own school record. She will have a chance to best that in the spring of 2016. “This year was incredible,” Akins said in June. “I am extremely fortunate and I think this season just sets the groundwork for next

The 11-year-old girl was striking out a lot of boys from the pitcher’s mound and ripping a lot of base hits from the batter’s box. Marquez was so impressive that she earned a spot on the PALL 11-year-old All-Star Team. As far as anybody knows, she is the first girl to ever make an all-star team in Poway. “She probably was the best fielder and pitcher and one of the best hitters in Minor

Senior ignites soccer team after missing first two games BY MICHAEL BOWER Miguel Berry thought long and hard about giving up high school soccer this year in favor of playing club. The Poway High senior striker even missed the first two games of the season while pondering his next move. “He was holding out for the academy,” Titans boys soccer coach Eugene Morris said. “He plays for Surf Academy and they shut down for part of the winter. It is a rule that if you play high school soccer then you can’t go back to the same academy team.” Berry, who earned a scholarship to the University of San Diego, ultimately decided to quit playing for Surf Academy and join the Titans. He found another club team he could play for after the high school season, which satisfied USD coaches. The decision breathed life back into the Titans (6-2). Without Berry, Poway went 1-1 and struggled to create scoring opportunities. Since Berry’s return, the Titans are 5-1 and the offense is clicking and the players are having fun. “Without him, the guys had no self-confidence,” Morris said. “With Miguel, they have all the confidence in the world. Everyone benefits from him being out there. He makes everybody better. We are soaring right now.” And so is Berry’s total number of career goals. He has accounted for nine scores in the six

Six of his goals came in the San Diego Tournament, where the Titans finished in third place. He won the Golden Boot Award (given to the player who scores the most goals) for his effort. Berry has 42 goals in his career at Poway. “He is probably going to finish in the top 10 for all-time goals at Poway High,” Morris said. “He is just the real deal.” Morris said he has noticed Berry is having more fun than ever with his teammates on the pitch. And that is a great sign, considering Berry lost his mother to cancer in the spring.
“His attitude has been great,” Morris said. “He is proud of his mom. “I think he is not taking soccer so serious now and he is having fun. He is best buddies with all these guys and he is silly and funny and a captain and they love him. He has made this a fun year so far. “After going through the whole thing with his mom last year and now he is not a backup to other stars on the team, I think this is his year. I think this is his year to shine and it has been so much fun.” Berry and the Titans will be back in action at University City on Tuesday at 5:15 p.m.

Chase Morrin bringing unique jazz to RB library BY EMILY SORENSEN Music fans will have an opportunity to enjoy jazz music from San Diego-born musician Chase Morrin when his trio performs on Wednesday, Jan. 6 at the Rancho Bernardo Library. Morrin, 22, was born and raised in Carlsbad and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in jazz composition at the New England Conservatory of Music. Morrin will perform at 6:15 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public; free-will donations for the musicians are welcome. Children 7 and older may attend with a parent. He will be accompanied by bassist Jonathan Chapman and drummer J.K. Kim, both students at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, who are members of his trio. “We’re doing a mini tour (in California),” said Morrin. “Five performances, including the library.” The jazz The Chase Morrin Trio performs might be a little different than people are used to hearing, he said. “It’s in the jazz vein, but it has a lot of folk melodies,

different rhythms and inspirations from different cultures,” said Morrin. They will be performing mostly original music, but possibly some standards, he said. Morrin’s performance is part of the library’s ongoing jazz concert series, hosted by Donald Bunin and the Rancho Bernardo Friends of the Library. This is the third year of the jazz concert series, which began its new season in October and will continue through May. Bunin had the opportunity to perform with Morrin while Morrin was in high school. “He is the most talented young man I have run across in my long, long life,” said Bunin. While Morrin is primarily a jazz performer, his studies of all sorts of music, ranging from classical to Indonesian, have influenced his composing to create his own sound. “I have a foot in a lot of doors, that’s for sure,” said Morrin. “For me it’s all wonderful, it’s all music. I like to study all styles.” Morrin will be expanding his musical horizons further, as he is working on an album of original
compositions with a friend who plays the marimba. They will be recording the album in Los Angeles. “It’s got a classical, jazz and folk feel, all original,” said Morrin. He graduated from Harvard in May, earning his bachelor’s degree in computer science and a minor in neurobiology. At graduation, Morrin was awarded with the Louis Sudler Prize as the senior who demonstrated the most outstanding talent and achievement in the composition or performance of film, music, drama, dance or visual art during his undergraduate years at Harvard. He was a 2013 Harvard Artist Development Fellow. Morrin said he has always loved music, but credits his interest in composition to receiving a toy keyboard from Costco as a gift from his parents when he was 8. “I think they just thought it would be fun, that I would learn Jingle Bells or something, but I started getting serious, making up my own stuff,” said Morrin.

SENIORS
SAVVY SENIOR BY JIM MILLER
If you are considering splitting pills Dear Savvy Senior, Is pill splitting safe? I have several friends who cut their pills in half in order to save money, but I have some concerns. What can you tell me? Cautious Kim Dear Kim, Pill splitting – literally cutting them in half – has become a popular way to save on pharmaceutical costs but you need to talk to your doctor or pharmacist first, because not all pills can be split. The reason pill splitting is such a money saver is because of a quirk in the way drugs are manufactured and priced. A pill that’s twice as strong as another may not be twice the price. In fact, it’s usually about the same price. So,
buying a double-strength dose and cutting it in half may allow you to get two months worth of medicine for the price of one. But is it safe? As long as your doctor agrees that splitting your pills is OK for you, you learn how to do it properly, and you split only pills that can be split, there’s really no danger.
Ask your doctor
If you’re interested in splitting your pills, talk to your doctor or pharmacist to find out if any of the medicines you use can be safely split. It’s also important to find out whether splitting them will save you enough money to justify the hassle. The pills that are easiest to split are those with a
score down the middle. However, not every pill that’s scored is meant to be split. Pills that are most commonly split include: • Cholesterol lowering drugs, like Crestor, Lipitor, Mevacor, Pravachol and Zocor. • Antidepressants, like Lexapro, Celexa, Serzone, Paxil, and Zoloft. • High blood pressure medicines such as, Accupril, Zestril, Diovan, Avapro, Norvasc, Tenormin, Toprol and Cardura. • Erectile dysfunction pills, like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
Use a splitter
Having the right equipment is very important too. Don’t use a knife or scissors to cut your
pills in half. It can cause you to split them unevenly resulting in two pieces with very different dosages, which can be dangerous. Purchase a proper pill cutter that has a cover and a V-shaped pill grip that holds the pill securely in place. You can find them at most pharmacies for $3 to $10. For convenience, you might be tempted to split the whole bottle of pills at once. But it’s best to do the splitting on the day you take the first half, and then take the other half on the second day or whenever you are scheduled to take your next dose. That will help keep the drugs from deteriorating due to exposure to heat, moisture, or air. It will also help ensure that any deviation in the size of one dose is compensated in the next. It’s also important to know that pills are only safely split in half, and never into smaller portions such as into thirds or quarters.
Don’t split these
Some pills should never
be split. Drugs that are time-released or long-lasting and tablets that contain a combination of drugs probably shouldn’t be split, because it’s difficult to ensure a proper amount of active ingredient in each half. Pills with a coating to protect your stomach, and pills that crumble easily or irritate your mouth shouldn’t be split either, along with chemotherapy drugs, anti-seizure medicines, birth control pills and capsules containing powders or gels. Again, your doctor or pharmacist will know which drugs can and cannot be split. If you’re taking a medicine that can be split, you’ll need to get a prescription from your doctor for twice the dosage you need. Then you can start splitting safely, and saving. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

This sweet girl entered our care as a stray and while we were not able to locate her previous family, Birdie is hoping to find a new home for the holidays. She is a shy dog, but is learning to make new friends. She has had a lot of fun in her playgroup with other dogs, is great on a leash and is house-trained. Birdie is very fearful of men at the moment, but would be the perfect lap dog for a woman looking for a little lady to love! Birdie is available for adoption at the San diego Humane Society’s escondido Campus at 3450 east Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275 or visit sdhumane.org.

(760) 444-4949 | info@diagnamics.com by THOMAS MASTEN in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that THOMAS MASTEN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: January 7, 2016 Time: 1:30 pm Dept.: PC-2. Address of court: 1409 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: JOHN ROMAKER 17418 Tam O Shanter Dr. Poway, CA 92064 858-423-5058 RB1379. Dec. 17, 24, 31, 2015.

With some firm financial resolve, you can make your dream of home ownership possible in 2016.
New Year’s resolutions for prospective buyers (StatePoint) Writing out your New Year’s resolutions? If you’re thinking of buying a home in 2016, it’s time to add these five resolutions to your list: • Get your financial house in order: Good credit is key to getting a mortgage at a reasonable interest rate. If it’s been more than a year, find out what your credit score is. You can improve your credit by paying your bills on time, working with a no-fees housing counselor, and beefing up your credit literacy. Free online resources can help, such as Freddie Mac’s CreditSmart online training. • Figure out how much you can afford. What do you earn? What do you spend? How much do you have in savings? Answering these questions will help you learn whether you are financially ready for home ownership. Make a budget and use free online tools and calculators to determine how much you can afford and the amount you have for a down payment. If you’re short, reduce optional expenses and set up a monthly, automatic deposit into your savings account. • Explore your mortgage options. Don’t assume you don’t have enough for a down payment or won’t qualify for a mortgage without 20 percent down. In fact, about 40
percent of today’s homebuyers are making down payments that are less than 10 percent and a recent study found that 87 percent of U.S. homes would qualify for down payment help. Find out if you’re eligible for any local or state down payment assistance programs. Remember, some options may be as low as three percent. But keep in mind that if you’re not putting at least 20 percent down, you’ll pay extra each month for mortgage insurance. Contact several mortgage lenders to shop around and get the best deal. • Get pre-approved for financing. It’s highly recommended that you work with your lender to get pre-approved before you begin house hunting. Pre-approval will tell you how much home you can afford and can help you move faster and with greater confidence in competitive markets. • Rely on professionals. The typical homebuyer will look at 10 homes over a 10-week period so finding and working with the right team is critical. Housing counselors, realtors and lenders all play an important role in the home buying process. These professionals have the expertise to advise you every step of the way.

Dermacare covers your beauty treatment needs BY EMILY SORENSEN Looking to create a new you in the new year? Dermacare can help you with all your beauty needs. Dermacare Laser and Skin Care Clinic, at 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court, Suite 201 in Rancho Bernardo, offers everything from facial esthetics and skin care, to Botox and body shaping. It also has a second location in Carlsbad. Dermacare has several new options for those seeking a transformation, including skin resurfacing and body sculpting. The clinics were started in 2006 by Dr. Jeff Birchall, a family practitioner who made the switch over to cosmetic medicine. Birchall earned his Bachelor of Science degree and M.D. from the University of Calgary, Canada, and completed his residency at Foothill Hospital in the university’s family medicine program. He
Dr. Jeff Birchall
was a staff physician with Palomar Pomerado Hospital, the VA Hospital in San Diego, and physician/medical director of the Penn Elm Medical Group in Escondido, California, and has been practicing medicine since 1991. Dermacare specializes in four fields: facial esthetics and skin care; cosmetic laser services; injectables like Botox and Juvederm; and liposuction and body shaping services, as well as weight loss counseling. The process begins with a complimentary consultation, where Birchall and his staff will meet with potential patients to learn their goals and concerns, answer questions and come up with a list of the services the patient wishes to have done. From there, Birchall matches the patients needs, tolerance level, emotional readiness, time frame and budget with the most fitting procedure. Some of the most popular services Dermacare
offers are Botox, Juvederm and laser hair removal. New to Dermacare this year are several cutting-edge options, including a new skin resurfacing laser treatment. Dermacare also offers a new body shaping service like liposuction, except it goes in through the chin and leaves no scars, said India Kolb, marketing director for Dermacare. In addition to its popular CoolSculpt treatment, which uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells, Dermacare now also offers SculpSure, a body shaping treatment that uses heat to kill fat cells from the outside. SculpSure has the added benefit of taking about 25 minutes to CoolSculpt’s hour-long treatment, said Kolb. Potential clients can fill out a form on Dermacare’s website to indicate their interest in a consultation. Visit www.dermacaresandiego.com, or call 858-487-3376 for more information.
Local business leaders see positive signs for 2016 BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK
Leaders of the three local business groups said they see positive signs for business growth in 2016. Each will also provide more networking and programs for members. Debra Rosen, North San Diego Business Chamber’s president and CEO, said last year her organization focused on relevancy of programs and benefits to the business community, which will continue into 2016. Programs launched last year include Emerging Leaders — for business professionals under age 40 — and a mentoring program for transitioning military personnel. “Military is a large financial engine in the region, and when personnel transition out, we want them to stay in San Diego,” Rosen said. “Our program teaches them to articulate their skill set from military to corporate language, and they are matched with a member mentor that assists them with connections and prepares them for the transition.” In February, the chamber will launch its monthly Actionable Economics program to show businesses how regional industries — such as housing, water, energy and port — have an impact on them today and the next three to five years. “It is critical we find ways to address the needs of the region and remain competitive in an increasingly difficult business climate,” she said. Chamber officials will also increase marketing
of its Think Local First initiative, which supports local businesses by raising awareness of the economic impact of keeping money in the region. “Between half and three quarters of every dollar spent in the local economy goes into our tax base and helps to pay wages to our neighbors and friends,” Rosen said. “It is a vital aspect of the vibrancy of our communities to help support local business, jobs and contracts.” She said the regional chamber — based in Rancho Bernardo — is working with the county and local cities, like Poway, to monitor the progress of SCA 5, the split roll property tax measure. “This legislation will have a negative impact on everyone in the region, from business to consumer,” Rosen said. “The chamber will focus on educating the region of the impact of the potential passage of SCA 5 ... making sure this is front and center.” She added that the chamber “has a year planned that will have a strong impact on the region and local communities. Small business is the backbone of the country and (is) important to the sustainability of our communities.” “For many businesses in Poway and in San Diego, 2015 was the year that the economy finally started to change in a positive direction,” said Dolores Canizales, Poway Chamber of Commerce’s president and CEO. “Business

owners who previously had plenty of time for networking and developing relationships suddenly had to deal with an increase in unexpected business, and may not have been entirely prepared with additional employees, inventory (and) merchandise.” Canizales said business owners are now better prepared for an increase in business since they are growing and becoming more profitable. “Local businesses are finding it difficult to keep up with demand for goods or services,” she said. “We know that spending more will only help the economy (since) in the last six months we have seen an influx of business activity that will create a better economic climate for our community in the year ahead.” The chamber will continue providing networking and educational programs for businesses in Poway and surrounding communities. In January, the chamber and Small Business Development Center will provide free educational workshops that focus on human resources for small businesses. It will also continue a marketing series to help business owners market with the latest technological tools. Following up on its Business Roundtable in September, the chamber will work with the City of Poway to address concerns voiced by businesses related to Poway’s sign ordinance, she said. There will be a sign ordinance workshop in early February to solicit feedback from retail
businesses. “Locally and nationally we seem to be steadily moving along economically and it looks to continue in 2016,” said Scott Lawn, Rancho Bernardo Business Association president. “Some of our RBBA members report a small uptick in their business, while others saw a continuing, but steady, increase in 2015 and see no indications it won’t continue in 2016. Fortunately very few saw a decline in their business.” He said slow and steady is the norm for the county as it plods along to economic recovery, with “modest increases” and “marginally stronger” being the catch phrases and trend for 2016. Lawn added there are plenty of buyers available to purchase homes, but very few homes available. “This is definitely a seller’s market and looks to stay the same throughout 2016 and most likely a few years beyond,” he said. “Fortunately Albertsons is returning and will once again be a part of the Rancho Bernardo scene, much to the delight of grocery shoppers mostly in the eastern end of RB and north Poway,” Lawn added. He said RBBA will help members increase their business through Lunch and Learn seminars. Topics include affordable ways to market a business via social media. The first seminar will be on Feb. 10.
